Snake Constrictor.
It has to be a Snake Constrictor, Araragi-kun.
Adder Shackle, Serpent Braid, Snake Constrictor.
Some even call it the Viper.
Viper? So it's a snake.

Oshino, what kind of oddity is a Snake Constrictor?
An oddity born from a person's spite.
Well... it's not limited to spite.
But since it's a Snake Constrictor, it has to be spite.
Sengoku told me about it.

She was cursed by a friend from her class.
Well, it was something like a hocus pocus spell.

Snake Constrictors aren't something an amateur could handle.

First of all, why did her friend curse her?
It was caused by some kind of love affair.
The guy her friend liked confessed to Sengoku,
but she unknowingly rejected him.
Then her friend ended up resenting her for it... Something like that.
Cut 16
Resentment
After Sengoku found out she was cursed, she went on to read "The Encyclopedia of Snake Curses".

Sengoku knew

Then she figured out how to lift the curse, and performed the ritual.
Killing snakes to lift a snake curse sounds pretty dumb.
Actually, it got worse after she started killing the snakes.
No, Araragi-kun.
Cut 21
Araragi-kun
Chopping up snakes to repel the Snake Constrictor isn't wrong.
Actually, you can call it the correct method.
Then why...
The procedure wasn't carried out correctly.
Black

Lifting a curse is harder than placing a curse.
Of course it's going to get worse if done by someone with half-assed knowledge.

And it seems that she was pretty unlucky.

Don't you think so? Are you scared?
But wait. Something's not right.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
So I'll go on with a resolution as firm as stone.
If I do my best I'll be your ideal girl.
Going to try my best. I'll give it all I've got!
Fluffy and fluttering, fluttery and fluffy.
I can fly to the moon if you call my name.
Fluttery and fluffy, fluffy and fluttering.
When you smile, I'll be affected by it.
Thank you, God.
Even if our fateful encounter was just a prank by fate,
I feel blessed by it.
But that's no good.
Look, it won't work.
Our hearts will keep on evolving, more and more.
Yup, I don't want it like that.
Hey, that's not enough.
I just want you to look at me forever and ever.
Snake.
The general name for reptiles of class Reptilia, order Squamata, suborder Serpentes.
They are distinguished by their long, thin, cylindrical body and coat of scales. Having hundreds of vertebrae, they can curve their body at will.
Demons, cats, crabs, snails, monkeys-- and now snakes?
Leaving out demons, snakes have the worst image of them all. They feel so unlucky.
The creepiness of cats, crabs, snails, and monkeys doesn't begin to compare to them.
"No-- That image of them is correct, Araragi-kun."
"Since long ago, snakes have often been considered as such."
"On the other hand, there have been more than a few instances when they've been considered the opposite, and snake cults have been founded --These have occurred all over the world. Something with an image of both holiness and wickedness--That's snakes."
"Say what you will, I don't have anything but bad images of snakes."
"Even if you mention snake cults, I don't really get it."
"How about the tsuchinoko as an image that's not negative?"
"Well, for me, the fear of snakes is instinctual rather than logical."
"Just looking at them makes me twitch."
"Well, there aren't many land animals that look like that."
Struggle
"They look almost like fish swimming on land, so it's impossible to not find them odd."
"And they're unusually good survivors. They don't die easily, even if you try hard at killing them."

I'm home.
Welcome home, Koyomi onii-chan.
How did it go, Araragi-senpai?
It seems her curse will be lifted if we use this.
Really?
Yeah, those scale marks will be gone too.
But to lift the curse, we have to carry out the ritual at that shrine.
It'd be best if we carry it out tonight...
Sengoku, is it okay for you to go home late tonight?
Yeah, it's okay.
I'll call my mom and tell her I'll be staying over at my friend's tonight.
Cut 39
Ritual
We need to prepare a few things for the ritual.
I'll go gather those.
Meanwhile, go call your mom.
Oh, the stuff we need might be a little heavy...
Kanbaru, I want you to come and help me.
Voice / Line
Cut due to circumstances
All right.
Sengoku is in danger.
Her life will be in danger if we don't do something by tonight.
The Snake Constrictor is an invisible snake, which is constricting Sengoku's body.
The scale marks prove that.
According to Oshino, it'll be too late to do anything once the scale marks reach her face.
Shouldn't being constricted feel painful?
Oshino said it should be painful.
But she's probably just holding it in.
But Sengoku's classmate didn't have to go this far just because Sengoku rejected the guy she likes...
Well, curses themselves aren't a big deal.
Well, it shouldn't have activated since it was placed by an amateur.
Then why...
The procedure to lift the curse wasn't carried out correctly.
And also, she was unlucky.

The shrine where the young lady chopped up snakes isn't a special place.
But you see, Shinobu-chan came to this city.
A legendary vampire with royal blood flowing inside her.
Not to mention, vampires are the king of all oddities.
Because of her, a lot of unwelcome guests began gathering at that shrine.
That's also the reason why you didn't feel well.
Then...
Black
Unnumbered cut
Yeah, the curse was activated because she was killing snakes in that shrine.

Nothing would've happened if she did it somewhere else.
That's like putting salt on your own wound...
Then Araragi-senpai...
Wouldn't it be dangerous to carry out the ritual at the shrine?
Not really. If we follow the procedure carefully,
that place should make its existence stand out.
So it's actually to our advantage.

No, I'm not blaming you.
I'm just wondering if you're okay.

It feels like I'm being constricted, but I can hold in the pain.
It's weird that you have to hold it in.

Restraining yourself for a little while is fine,
but restraining yourself for a long time isn't because it'll put a lot of stress on your body.
I don't understand why you thought restraining yourself is fine
and why you ignored the psychological effects of it, Kanbaru.
Let's go.
Red
Unnumbered cut
By the way, Sengoku...
Yes?
I was wondering why you rejected the guy who confessed to you.
Well...
I like someone else.
Hey, how much do you remember about our childhood, Koyomi onii-chan?
To be honest, not too much.
My memory isn't really that good.
Oh, I see...
I'm surprised that you remembered me at all.
I didn't really play with others back then.

Rara-chan was the only friend who I could play with after school.
You mean Tsukihi-chan?
But then, Rara-chan went to a different middle school.
I still cherish those memories of us playing together.

Not to mention, I'm an only child.
I really wanted an older brother.

I came prepared.
I'm feeling better than I expected.
Then let's start the preparations.
Kanbaru, I did ask you to get her clothes that would leave enough skin exposed
so we could see the scale marks go away...
But why a school swimsuit of all things?!
I was trying to go along with your fetishes.
Don't do that!
So you admit it's a fetish of yours?

Seems like it's turning out okay.
But think about it, Araragi-senpai.
You owe Oshino-san another favor.
It's gonna be a big one too, since the oddity this time was so strong.
Nah, I don't owe him for this.
Kanbaru, I told you this was a gathering place for unwelcome guests, right?
Well, it might've turned into a full-scale war between monsters, so it's very dangerous.
We've prevented it by placing an ofuda on this shrine.

But one day, I'll leave this city.
When that happens, I won't be able to help you anymore.
You know, oddities aren't things you should get involved with on purpose.
But you have a tendency to stick your nose into the business of others.
