Don't mispronounce my name out of frustration.
Sorry, I stuttered.
Don't lie, that was on purpose.

Hanekawa-san was that girl with the braided hair, right?
Yeah.
And Senjougahara-san is your girlfriend.
Yup.
What? Gotta problem with that?
Not really. I just thought that normally, one would pick Hanekawa-san.
I wonder why you picked Senjougahara-san?
Why, huh?
I don't think of Hanekawa in that way.
She's more like my savior.
And Hanekawa would probably just flat-out turn me down.
Above all, I like Senjougahara despite her personality.
Well, if you say you prefer Senjougahara-san, then I guess that's that.
Different spokes for different folks.

Cut number 79
By the way, Araragi-san.
That female vampire...
Uh, what was her name? Oshino Shinobu-san?
Yeah...
She looks like she's eight, she's blonde and she wears a goggled helmet, right?
Yeah, what about her?
I've never actually met her in person, so I can't say for sure,
but I think I saw her yesterday.
What?
She was alone at a donut shop along the highway around 5 PM.
A donut shop...?
Wait, would Oshino actually let Shinobu wander around by herself?
Yeah, the same thing came to my mind.
I was waiting here because I thought I should report to you about it.
What, really?
Why didn't you say that to begin with?!
I'm sorry.
But being grabbed from behind by some random lolicon made me totally forget.
Oh, sorry for frightening you like that.
At least I was able to be of use to you.
Anyway, don't you have something to do?
Oh, that's right.
Later, Hachikuji.
Yes, I'm sure we'll see each other again.
They were cat ears.
Cute cat ears were poking
out of Hanekawa's small head.
I bit my lip in silence.
I bit my lip hard enough to
make it bleed so I wouldn't laugh.
Don't laugh...
I had to be serious,
I absolutely couldn't laugh.
It'd be like something from a gag comic
if I were to break down laughing
after she told me this with a serious look on her face.
I can't do that.
I told her I wouldn't.
But those cat ears.
They went so well with her trimmed bangs.
It's like they were made for her.
I had the same thought during Golden Week.
She's the kind of woman who
was born to wear cat ears.
On the other hand...
During the Golden Week Nightmare,
she didn't have them when she was Hanekawa.
So this just blows me away.
Body
Right now, her ears and the fur are black like her hair.

Oh.
Araragi-kun, are you going somewhere?
Yeah, somewhere nearby.
And what are you going to do there?
Humanitarian aid.
Is that so?
Very well. See you later, Araragi-kun.
I have a remarkable amount of pity for you, so I'll answer roll call for you.
Answer it for me?
I can imitate your voice. So don't worry, leave it to me.
Voice actress / Saitou Chiwa
(From I'm Enterprise)
Cut number 125
After all, my voice actress is excellent.
Voice actress?!
Wait, what?! We're in an anime?!
"Hitagi-san, you're so beautiful. You're truly my one and only. I love you."
How was that?
That didn't sound like me at all!
I was kinda looking forward to it, but you left me disappointed!
And I haven't even said anything like that yet!
Which means you're going to say that eventually, right?
Yeah!
Rouhaku Park
Bike Parking
Hey, Hanekawa!
Oh, Araragi-kun!
You can't ride your bike into the park.
There are parking spots over there.
Why are you worrying about bikes right now? We're ditching school!
They're separate issues.
Hurry up and park your bike.

Sorry for making you skip school, Araragi-kun.
No, don't sweat it.
Did I sound like I was angry? I wasn't trying to sound cynical.
You don't need to worry.
I've worked it all out.

But if both the class rep and the vice rep skip class,
what'll happen to the cultural festival preparations?
I left Senjougahara-san to take care of things after school.
Huh? Are you sure that was a good idea?
I left her in charge to amend her reputation since she skipped yesterday.

But uh... Those are definitely pajamas.
Hey, Hanekawa.
What is it?
I mean... Hanekawa-sama.
Sama?
Let me hold onto your jacket for you.
Araragi-kun.
Yes?
I'll get mad.
I'm sorry.
Well, enough funny business.
What happened, Hanekawa?
Are you having those headaches again?
Headache
Cut number 177
Well, the headaches are gone, but...
Headache
Cut number 179
Well...
Araragi-kun, I... remembered what happened during golden week.
Oh... really?
Well, not really.
It's more like I remembered that I forgot something.
I see.
Cat.
It was something about a cat, right?
Reminiscence
I remember that.
The cat we buried...
I remember that.
But you called me out here, so it's not that simple, right?
Yeah.
Oddity
Cut number 194
An oddity, huh?
That's right. That's why I want you to take me to Oshino-san.
Can you show me the way?
Of course I will.
But first, mind if I ask a few questions?
Sure, but why?
When it comes to the oddities, all I've been doing is relying on Oshino.
Even if he's going to be the one doing the work, I want to make things easier for him.
I see.
Okay, ask whatever you'd like.
You said that you've been having headaches frequently.
But when exactly did they start?
About a month or so ago.
I had them when I was with you yesterday and the day before.
Oh, and the ones I had at the bookstore and school entrance were pretty bad too.
Why didn't you say so then?!
Sorry. I didn't want to make you worry.
Well, never mind.
Next, have you encountered any cats besides the one during Golden Week?
Cat
Cut number 207
Encountered any cats?
Even something as trivial as a black cat crossing in front of you.
From the 5/27 broadcast
Cut number 155
On May the 27th, I was listening to a radio show.
They read out a letter from Ms. I Love Big Bear Cats.
Do you think that counts?
No, I don't think so.
By the way, the letter said,
"Anime and manga make being a maid look easy. But surprisingly, it's a very hard job."
"Reason being, they don't have any free time."
"I asked one I met at a get together, so I'm pretty sure."
You didn't have to go into detail.
Oh, Araragi-kun, do you think there's something funny about that letter?
I can't really put my finger on it.
Let me see...
The joke is that while she's saying that maids have no free time,
she happened to meet one having a good time at a get together--
Hang on, why do I have to explain this?!
Oh, I see.
I guess I just didn't get it the first time I heard it.
Big Bear Cat
Cut number 209
If you think about it, "big bear cat" is actually "panda"!
Panda = Big Bear Cat
Cut number 209
Oh, that's right.
Anything else?
Well, on the same show, Ms. Seemingly Swinging said:
Cut number 222
"Recently, I was playing Daifugo with three of my friends."
"After the cards were dealt, one of them shouted, 'At my middle school, 4 was the best card!'"
What's so funny about that?
When I asked you if there was "anything else?",
I wasn't asking if there were any other letters with esoteric jokes!
By the way, there's a ridiculous amount of local variation in Daifugo's rules.
So the joke is that she had a friend who randomly made up rules to suit her own hand!
Oh, I see.
You're amazing, Araragi-kun.
I don't take that as a compliment.
Seemingly Swinging
Cut number 225
Oh, and there's another subtle joke in the name "Ms. Seemingly Swinging",
if you write "Seemingly" and "Swinging" in kanji, they're the same.
Seemingly Swinging
Cut number 225
But there were simple letters on that show too.
Cut number 227
Ms. Walk Facing An Apple wrote in saying:
"The other day, my friend and I went to the video rental."
"We tried to rent all 13 DVDs for a drama series,"
"but somebody rented vol. 8, so we could only rent up to vol. 7."
"So I said, 'It's like playing the card game Sevens and someone is blocking the eight.'"
"And my friend replied, 'I bet the person who rented vol. 8 is laughing right about now.'"
Seriously, why would the person borrowing vol. 8 think of it as playing Sevens?
That's pretty funny, but enough talk about the radio!
Anyway, Hanekawa, next question.
Will you take off your hat?
That's... That's not a question, Araragi-kun.
Oh?
Yeah.
Hanekawa-sama, allow me to take your hat into my care.
Araragi-kun.
Yes?
You'll make me mad.
Then get mad at me.
If you want to get mad, please do so.
To me, paying you back is worth more than our friendship.
Paying me back? What are you talking about?
I'm talking about what happened during spring break.
Well... But that's...
Didn't you just save yourself?
No.
Oshino might agree with you, but I'm confident that you saved me.
I owe you my life.
I want to do something for you.
If I get scolded or hated for doing so, then I'll deal with it.
Deal with it, huh?
Sounds cocky.
Really?
It's fairly cocky coming from you.
That's something that a would say.
Not something that an honor student would say.
I guess...
Just don't laugh.
Is that enough?
Episode 13 Password: Cat ears
Y-Yeah, thanks.
Thanks
Cut number 280
Why are you thanking me?
But... Yeah, I got it.
It looks like the sequel to Golden Week.
And that's why it can be dealt with.
Really?
Okay, let's go see Oshino.
Hanekawa, you're not going to say two people riding on a bike is against the law, right?
I want to, but I'll turn a blind eye.
I made you skip school, so now we're even, right?
Isn't it weird to say that we're even?

You must have it hard.
You have to worry about a lot of people's problems.
A lot of people?
Senjougahara-san, Mayoi-chan, Kanbaru-san
and Sengoku-chan from yesterday.
They're all girls too!
Shut up.
Now that I remember, I know they all have something to do with oddities.
It's still a little fuzzy.
But yeah, there's no way that Senjougahara-san's illness could be cured so quickly.
This all began over spring break when you were attacked by a vampire.
Vampire, weight crab, snail, monkey's paw, serpent
Everything started there.
The oddities were always there.
It's not as if they suddenly popped into existence one day.
Araragi-kun, did you know?
Know what?
One of the vampire's special abilities is charisma.
It allows vampires to charm humans.
Charm?
Something like hypnotism.
By looking the opposite sex in the eye, vampires can turn them into their captives.
What about it?
Nothing, really.
I just thought it might have something to do with why you're so popular with girls these days.
Senjougahara Hitagi, Hachikuji Mayoi, Kanbaru Suruga, Sengoku Nadeko, Hanekawa Tsubasa
Sorry, I'm just teasing you.
Don't worry.
I think I'm beginning to understand now.
Charisma, huh.
You know everything, don't you?
I don't know everything.
I don't know everything...
I don't know... anything.
Cut number 321
Oh hello, Araragi-kun.
Black

And class rep-chan, right?
Your hairstyle changed,
but I can tell its you because of the glasses.
Long time no see, class rep-chan.
And Araragi-kun, I last saw you yesterday.
What? You're not going to like, "I've been waiting" or "I'm sick of waiting" today?
Black
Unnumbered cut
Should I?
What's up Class Rep-chan?
I'm pretty sure you should be in school right now.
No one cares about Araragi-kun, but it's rather unthinkable that you'd ditch.
Oh, I get it!
Today must be the School Anniversary Day I keep hearing about.
No, that's not it.
A hat?
It looks really nice on you.
Thanks.
So that's what it is, Araragi-kun.
Damn man, it's like you can't go a day without getting your ass in some kind of trouble.
Anyway, come in.
Araragi-kun, to be honest, I'm actually kinda busy for once.
I don't have much spare time.
Really?
But don't worry about it.
No one cares about Araragi-kun, but Class Rep-chan is the one in trouble this time.
I think I can spare some time.

The meddling cat.
Meddling Cat
Unnumbered cut
It's one of the three famous ghost-cat legends.
No one cares about Araragi-kun, and I don't think I need to tell class rep about this, right?
Hey Oshino, drop the "No one cares about Araragi-kun" crap when you talk about Hanekawa.
It's getting on my nerves.
Look bro, I'm not doing it on purpose.
You know, I'm just stating the truth.
Look asshole, you better be careful when you're out at night.
Don't worry, I'm nocturnal.
Speaking of which, cats are nocturnal too.
H-Hanekawa?
Don't panic, Araragi-kun.
You're so energetic.
Is it because something happened?
Something like seeing Class Rep-chan in her PJ's, or seeing her cat ears?
Don't talk like you know!
You're inviting misunderstanding!
There's no misunderstanding here.
If anything,
you should be grateful I didn't mention Class Rep-chan hugging your back on the bike.
Seems like you already understand the situation.
I guess what happened to Little Miss Shy was a good learning experience for you.
So Sengoku is Little Miss Shy now?
Anyway, what did you do to her?
Since you already know what's going on, there wasn't much for me to do.
I just sped up the process.
Sped up?
I told you that I don't have time.
And it's easier to ask the subject itself than it is to ask Class Rep-chan.
The subject itself? But--
Look.
It's already here, Araragi-kun.
The dirty cat.
I'm surprised to see you again, human.
Lusting after my mistress' breasts? You never learn, do you?
You're such a naughty little boy.
Do you want to be eaten alive?
