Well then, shall we start and do this.
You pitiable boy.
Heart-Under-Blade !
No.
Before that, let me verify.
If I win,
you'll return Kiss-shot's right leg for me.
Is that ok?
If I win,
you'll tell me where Heart-Under-Blade is and it's ok.
That's fine.
Well then, let's begin.

Dramaturgy is a vampire.
Vampire?
That guy's a vampire?
If you look, you can understand.
Or is such a physique something humans would have?
Flashback
I have lived for 500 years, but,
I've limited knowledge, in fact I've not heard of such a human.
But...
Why would a vampire be specialising in vampire hunting?
I don't get it.
A vampire who kills its own kind or something
It's not as unlikely as you think.
An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.
And a vampire for a vampire.
By any chance is that Araragi-kun?
Hanekawa!
Hmm?
No good. I'm not going to show you today!
Spin
W-W-W-W-What-What-What are you talking about
I-I-I have no idea-idea-idea-idea.
I'm afraid to say,
I don't happen to know, but...
Huh? Did you forget?
Even though you were looking at my panty.
And you even stared at them.
Staring
N-No!
It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!
I was just looking at the lining of your skirt.
T-That's right. I was only paying attention to the lining of your skirt.
That's pretty perverted in its own way.
Hanekawa.
What are you doing... In a place like this?
Taking a walk, maybe?
Like...
At this hour?
What are you looking at, Araragi-kun?
A baseball book?
What? Is it the kind of book you can't show?
Ah!
Could it possibly be an indecent book?
A stupid thing to say!
I have never even touched vulgar books such as that.
I couldn't allow my soul to be tarnished, you know.
Well then, see you later. It's like that, so...
Wait!
We finally ran into each other!
Let's chat a while longer!
Chat?
Chat about what?
Huh? Let's see...
Well then, Araragi-kun,
what kind of study did you do today?
I predominantly tried going after maths.
Maths, huh?
It's unfortunate but, today I only studied Spanish.
Spanish?
Unfortunately, I don't know much Spanish.
That really is a shame.
Yeah, I'm only at about everyday conversation level.
Spashibo! (Amazing)
Spashibo is Russian.
Also, spashibo doesn't have the meaning of "amazing" or anything.
(Spashibo means "thank you" in Russian)
No good! You have to properly remember what words mean!
Y-Yeah...
You know everything don't you.
I don't know everything,
only what I know.
Anyhow!
Whoever studied what doesn't really matter, does it.
People study their whole lives.
You said a great thing, Araragi-kun!
So, why don't we do something more constructive...
That's it, let's think of a way to make society better or something!
Yeah, let's.
What do you think we could do to end bullying?
Hanekawa,
you should go home about now, shouldn't you?
I'm about to leave myself, too.
Well, even if you didn't say that, I was planning to head home soon.
At night...
You shouldn't go walking around.
You might encounter a vampire, you know.
Well, truth is, that was some think I was kind of hoping for.
Well, I think it's just a rumour, but,
if I could possibly meet a vampire.
Why?
A vampire? Why do you want to meet one of those?
Well, I wasn't really thinking about it.
I guess I'm at an age where I expect the non-everyday.
I'd like to meet a vampire and try to have a little chat, I think.
You're fucking kidding me!?
Huh?
I'm sorry! It looks like I said something that rubbed you the wrong way...
No. You rub me the wrong way.
You irritate me.
You get up my nose.
I'm alone because I like it.
Don't follow me around.
But, Araragi-kun,
what are you saying all of a sudden?
Up until before, weren't we having fun chatting?
It wasn't fun or anything.
I was just pretending it was fun.
My eyes were fixed on your assets!
My family isn't that rich, you know!
Kishi Gymnasium
I don't know if you're trying to earn points for your pupil's record, or what, but...
For a dunce like me,
an honours student-sama shouldn't be caring about each and everything I'm doing!
The superiority complex filling your mind might mean this feels great for you, but,
this guy here that you're pitying can't bear it any longer!
Hanekawa Tsubasa
And don't go messing with someones phone.

So, please dissapear somewhere else.
Flashback
I understand.
This is good.
With this, just a little...
my strength as a human has gone up.
I've become strong.
So,
so definitely,
in my duel with Dramaturgy as well...
And retrieving Kiss-shot's right leg...
I should be able to execute it with no problem.
To me right now, that's what's most important.
If my heart hurts or anything, it doesn't matter.

What's wrong? Just going to run away?
Heart-Under-Blade servant!
I told you not to give me a weird name...
How's that!?
What are you doing!?
Dramaturgy!?
As you can see, I give up.
With your strength, if you hit me with something like that,
it's not something I could bear.
To recover, it would take me two days.
It seems you may be misunderstanding, but...
a vampire who can completely recover from damage in a moment,
there aren't many of those.
You're an exceptional category of vampire.
At any rate, you are the servant of Heart-Under-Blade, after all.
Even losing the match of true power,
With the real experience I gained until now,
I thought I had a chance to win, but...
It looks like either way it was impossible.
I could not hunt you down.
No, but...
Even still,
if I say this will you be satisfied?
I will not lay a hand on you a second time.
Please spare my life.

Well then,
I got a right leg.
Just now...
What was that?
Hey, Araragi-kun,
It was quite far away, so I'm not very sure,
but weren't you doing something out of a supernatural of some kind?
It's not related to you, is it?
But like,
why are you following me around?
I don't get it.
I'm pretty sure I told you not to follow me around.
Don't wear the mask of a friend and go and meddle in my affairs.
You're not the kind of person who'd say those things, are you?
For me to make you say those things...
I think it's bad. But,
I think that you were forced into a situation that you had to say those things
Araragi-kun, I know you're in that kind of a situation, right?
Sorry I was late to notice.
I'm sorry!
If so, I want to be helpful to you!
You're very pushy you know.
You're reading too deep into me.
I just thought it was boring being around you.
I like being alone.
You're lying.
You're not someone who hates people, or someone who's being peevish about the world.
Araragi-kun, you're different from that.
I understand that much.
Flashback
Araragi-kun, at least when you were speaking to me, you seemed like you were having fun.
Flashback
Like I said! I had my eyes on your assets!
I told you
Like I said! My family's not that rich!
I told you
Then, I had my eyes on your "dakara"!
(Dakara is mineral water brand)
If your throat is dry...
You should have properly said so!
I bit my tounge
That's wrong! Dakara (I told you)! I was after your "karada"!
(Dakara means "I told you", "karada" means "body")
I told you
Horny
Did you want my "dakara" or my "karada", which!?
Your body!
If you like,
if you show me your panty one more time,
I'd make peace with you.
Alright.
Huh?
Is this good enough?
Can you see them properly?
If not, should I take off my blouse as well?
Hey?
I'm sorry I said all those horrible things!
Please be friends with me.
He really gave it back.
That's why you had a negotiator.
All right, Heart-Under-Blade.
But what will you do?
It's different in size to your current leg.
It's not like you can swap it, right?
I do it like this.
You shouldn't be watching, you dummies!
Let me eat in peace. It's manners, isn't it.
By the way, Oshino...
Hmm? What is it?
Flashback
I... My left arm was knocked off by Dramaturgy, right.
But I recovered right away.
But...
Why didn't Kiss-shot's limbs regenerate?
Flashback
Heart-Under-Blade, as a vampire, her force of immortality,
she'd lost most of it by the time she ran into you.
Don't you think that?
Yeah, I did think that, but...
But, I...
Flashback
When my arms were sliced off,
and then those very arms recovered,
the cut-off arms disappeared.
So, I thought that it was possible that maybe Kiss-shot's limbs had disappeared as well, but,
that wasn't it at all.
So then, why, is what I thought,
why didn't they regenerate or disappear?
That girl is a rare species, Araragi-kun.
Those guys successfully stole her limbs,
because they wanted to make them theirs.
To separate her limbs and leave those limbs intact.
You see?
That is, what those guys stole was more than her limbs,
you could say they took her ability to exist as a vampire.
Oshino,
I...
Can I really become human again?
If you get back all of Heart-Under-Blade's limbs,
you can be again.
She said that, didn't she?
No, is there no possibility that was a lie?
In order to get her limbs back, she might have been lying as a tactic to–
Hey now.
It's no good to doubt someone like that.
Don't you feel sorry for her?
But...
To be able to talk about the one who saved your life like that,
you're very ungrateful.
Flashback
Hey, hey, what's with that face?
Did something good happen?
Don't speak like you've seen through me.
Bleah!
April 1st
Well then, it might be my fault, isn't it?
What is?
Araragi-kun, that you ran into a vampire.
They say if you spread rumours, they'll cast a shadow, right?
It seems like that proverb applies especially when it comes to talking about apparitions.
They say if you spread rumours about them, these apparitions will be attracted from the other side.
No, that's strange, isn't it.
Hanekawa, if that were the case,
since the one who told me that rumour was you, you must have had a vampire appear nearby too.
It's not that I must have had.
It's just that it increases the chances of it happening.
Also, if you had to say whether one appeared in front of me, you'd have to say they did, right?
You, Araragi-kun.
Putting aside the rumours and such, Hanekawa, yesterday
you were in fact looking for vampires by your own decision, right?
Why were you doing something like that?
A superior being, was it?
And you wanted to speak with it or something?
Well, it's not like I was really searching for one.
I may have been asking for the moon, I guess.
How should I say it...
I was kind of at the end of my rope, you see.
I felt like I wanted change in my life.
A change...
In the end I guess it was just escaping from reality.
As for me, I want to return to reality.
I'm sure you can, definitely.
But still, I said that I wanted to help you, although...
When the story is that outrageous...
It doesn't seem like there's much that I can do for you.
That's not the case.
I'm grateful for you bringing me a change of clothes and other daily necessities.
No, it's fine, this much is nothing.
More importantly, shouldn't you get changed soon? Those clothes are completely tattered.
You're right.
Umm...
Well, but...
I guess it's fine to change my top half.
You're an M size, right?
Ah, yeah...
I prepared both briefs and trunks for pants.
What's the matter?
Aren't you going to change?
I'll change.
Wait a moment!
I knew it! I thought so yesterday, but
Araragi-kun, your physique has changed a bit, hasn't it.
Uh?
When I saw you from behind yesterday, I got this strange feeling that it wasn't really Araragi-kun.
The distribution of your muscles is different.
You kinda seem thinner, but it also feels like you're more toned.
If you become a vampire, that means your body will also change.
Because the restorative ability makes the body keep itself in a healthier state.
Guu.
Pardon me for a bit.
Touching it, the feel...
Not really that different to a human.
But, it does somewhat feel as though your muscles are more elastic, I guess.
No different to a human...
Hanekawa, other men's bodies and the like...
you've touched them before?
Eh!?
No! Not at all! Nothing like that!
That's right. I was talking about what I'd imagined.
That's no good of me.
If you could hurry up and put on your shirt...
S–Sure.
Looks like it's fine.
You helped me out, Hanekawa.
I'll definitely return this favour someday.
No,
This is about all I can do for you anyway.
About all you can do
that's more than enough.
Truly,
thank you.
Oh, not at all! If I were in trouble you'd be the one helping me, wouldn't you!
If there's anything else you'd like me do for you,
don't hesitate to let me know what, okay, Araragi-kun?
This is about the best I can do now though.
Oh, I know! How about I clean this classroom.
It looks like an "all-you-can-scatter-around".
It's fine. It's been like this since before I was here.
Well, even so, we can't let things get any more scattered around.
We can't not clean up what we can.
Hmm?
Huh, what's this?
Flashback
I forgot to say.
You were holding it like it was very important to you,
on the way here, I picked it up for you.
P-People like you!
Guu.
Umm...
So you had your run-in with the vampire on the way back from the bookstore?
On the 25th of March?
The night you and I passed each other by?
So, what's this?
April 4th
Episode's a vampire hunter, and a vampire-half.
Flashback End
Well, even I know about that much vampire terminology, but,
but, Kiss-shot,
can't you give me some more detailed information?
I've forgotten.
You-
Wait, I'll pull out that memory right away.
I've pulled out the memory.
What memory did you pull out?
Episode.
He has a prejudice against vampires.
Prejudice?
Why?
Doesn't half mean he's half vampire?
Well, to put it simply,
it's because half-vampires are not really something accepted in the vampire world.
Having said that, it's not like they're accepted in the human world either.
So, he hates his vampire blood.
Above all, it seems Episode holds an extreme hatred towards vampires.
Different to Dramaturgy, for him, rather than occupation,
he acts in his self-interest.
That really gets me!
It really makes me laugh.
For the old man Dramaturgy to be exterminated in his extermination by a kid like you.
Well, I'll kill you hard enough not to leave any lasting after-effects.
I'll say it in case. Don't think I'll go easy on you.
I hate bullying of the weak,
but I absolutely love bullying bad guys!
So I'm a bad guy?
Well of course you are! You're a monster after all.
Monster
What about you?
Huh? What do you mean by "what about you"?
If you have something you want to say then say it clearly already!
No, it's nothing.
I don't want to say anything.
Let's begin.
A cross?
Araragi-kun!
You can't give up yet!
Your opponent is mist after all!
So if he's mist, that means–
Hanekawa?
Hanekawa? Hanekawa!? Hanekawa!
Araragi-kun...
You're so loud.
Pull yourself together. Your opponent's mist after all.
That really gets her.
Mist, that's essentially water.
So what happens if you throw in a bunch of sand?
That's enough!
If you go any further, you'll become inhuman.
O–Oshi..
Y–You! You could have...!
Hanekawa...!
Don't shout so angrily.
You sure seem lively, Araragi-kun.
Did something good happen?
But, this may be bad when you're so lively, but,
the duel is clearly over.
Look. He's already fainted.
But... But...
Hanekawa...
Hanekawa was!
Yeah. I saw.
Why were you watching?
Why didn't you stop it?!
It was outside the fee.
I'm a vampire suppression specialist.
I only received payment to mediate between those three.
Anything else costs extra.
Don't drag regular people into this.
If that's the case, say so from the start!
If you'd only told me...
Does that mean for Iinchou-chan's fee, you'd have paid another two million yen?
Two million?
I'd have paid three million!
What kind of funny business are you pulling?
It's not funny business; but business matters, Araragi-kun.
Laughing Matter
Business Matter
And with your offer of three million yen, our business is complete.
Now, I'll give you a hint.
Use your head a bit, Araragi-kun.
Why do you have that immortal body of yours?
Hanekawa.
Araragi-kun?
Araragi-kun, why are you rubbing your face in my stomach so lovingly?
Also, that my uniform is a bit torn. Araragi-kun, could it be that you–
My bad, Hanekawa.
Just a little longer...
Like this.
April 5th
I feel that the condition of my body has become quite good!
When it comes to my immortality, it would be fine to say that I have recovered most of it.
That so?
Does that mean I can put you in charge of the next battle?
No, unfortunately, my skills as a vampire
don't yet seem usable.
As far as you can take it, it's just harder for me to die than it was up until now.
If the opponent was Dramaturgy, I might be able to fight,
but in my current condition, I could not even defeat Episode.
Not to mention, were Guillotinecutter to become my opponent.
Guillotinecutter, huh...
Flashback
You could call him human, right?
Indeed.
Not a vampire like Dramaturgy,
nor a half-vampire like Episode.
Flashback
Completely and purely, he's an ordinary human.
I don't really think he's "an ordinary human", but...
Indeed.
Well, I do agree.
He is, well... A clergyman.
Surely you're not saying the Christian Special Forces or anything, right?
Quite close, but still far.
But anyway,
regardless, he's still human, right?
Whether he pulls some tricks or whatever, he's not really much of an opponent for a vampire, right?
A human, who, neither vampire nor vampire-half, but still vampire extermination specialist.
Rather, you should be extremely cautious, should you not?
In reality, I had both my arms stolen by this man.
That being said, I did have my guard down at that time.
And, for some reason, my condition was poor.
For Dramaturgy it is a job,
and with Episode, we suppose he's hunting due to personal feelings, if so,
then Guillotinecutter is hunting as if it is his mission.
It may be somewhat questionable coming from me, but religious faith can be quite a nuisance,
How's your stomach wound, Hanekawa?
Even if you call it a wound, there's no wound left.
I see.
Let me see, could you give me a look.
What do you mean "let me see"?
Hey, Araragi-kun, wouldn't you eat a sandwich?
This line has tomato in it.
Ahh...
No, I'm fine.
Really?
Here, Araragi-kun, have a Coca-Cola.
Oh, thank you.
By the way, mine's a diet cola.
You naturally get muscle after all, I wonder if no matter how many calories you consume you won't fatten.
If so, as a girl it's a situation I'd be jealous of, but anyway.
I wonder.
Well, if I had to say one or the other, it feels like I have no appetite.
I feel like I'm ok even if I don't eat.
For vampires, isn't their food blood?
Ah, I guess.
By the way, Araragi-kun, you don't get anything like blood urges, do you?
Well, now that you mention it, I don't.
Hanekawa.
This place is somewhere it would be better if you didn't come anymore.
Well, that said, I thought that.
Please, don't get wounded please.
I mean differently than last time.
Last time, of course, I did have the feeling that I didn't want to get you involved, but
to be honest, not being able to hold down my feelings was a big part.
I was venting and I regret it.
But it's different now.
How's it different?
Yesterday, when your sides were greatly perturbed by Episode's cross...
I became unsure what was what.
Flashback
Blood rose to my head...
I thought "are you going to die?".
Me?
No, me.
We've talked about human-ness, haven't we.
When you got wounded, that hurt as if it were me who was wounded.
No, it hurt much more than if it were me.
Hanekawa, I...
I don't think I want to return to a human again so much that I'd neglect you.
Neglect...
Araragi-kun, it's not like I intended to have you do those things!
But...
Don't you wonder what you're doing?
Your precious spring holiday period,
Wasting it for someone like me.
In the end it brought you to the brink of death!
Don't you wonder what you're doing?
N–Not at all!
I don't understand.
Flashback
For example, if we were in reversed positions,
I'm not confident I could go that far.
In front of a guy that dangerous-seeming,
even though you're not immortal.
I'm not confident I could expose my body.
But you do it like it's normal!
You're...
Scary.
Honestly, I'm a little taken aback.
Please, don't be wounded!
I don't mean to do that!
But, why am I someone you would go so far for?
I don't get it at all!
For a classmate you just met the other day,
I don't understand how you could become so devoted!
You're basically a saint.
But your self-sacrifice is too grave for me.
The vessel which could withstand even that...
Isn't in me.
It's not self-sacrifice at all.
It's not self-sacrifice!
Then, what is it?
Self-satisfaction.
Araragi-kun!
You're misunderstanding me.
I'm not that good a person.
Nor am I a strong person.
I'm just doing things the way I want to.
I think there's probably no other person who thinks just of themself as much as me.
I'm unfair and also have some pretty stubborn intentions.
Araragi-kun, so much so that you'd be taken completely aback.
But Araragi-kun, if it's my fault that because I'm around it's become hard for you to do what you need to,
then that's a ripper of an act of getting priorities backwards.
I guess it's about time to step down from the role of going shopping.
Certainly, it seems like there's not much left that I can do.
No, there is something you can do.
Wait for me.
The new term, at that school,
Please wait for me there.
To chat with you once again,
I'm looking forward to that from the bottom of my heart.
Uh-oh.
Pipipi, pipipi, pipipi?
What's that sound?
The sound of fluttering.
Huh? Girls make that sound effect when their hearts flutter?
That was close, that was close.
I almost dug you for a moment there.
And by digging, do you mean
like for a hot spring or oil well?
Always using that trick to woo girls?
Not at all! I don't know what you mean.
To begin with, I've hardly even talked to any girls.
Going for the straight-laced image?
Even though you bought that indecent book.
Gee.
I'll lend you these.
Give them back when the new semester starts, ok.
Araragi-kun, you like panties, right?
Err...
Ah, if you don't need them, then...
No, no, no, I didn't say I didn't need them!
We're not talking about whether I need them or not, right!?
Uh, what was that? It's fine if I return them when we meet at the start of the new term?
Sorry. I cannot return these.
What?
I mean, I indefinitely can't return them.
These will be treated as an Araragi family heirloom and be passed down through all my descendants to come.
I'd like you to refrain from that.
These panty will part from your body for the rest of eternity!
What are you deciding on your own!
I can't return your panty, but
in exchange
I will definitely return the favour.
Hanekawa, any time you need someone,
even if I might be unable to do anything,
I will definitely be there.
Repaying your favour,
will become my reason for living from today.
Never mind that! Give me back my panty!
I will from now, wearing no panty,
furthermore, in this limited security skirt,
I need to return home.
Araragi-kun, compared to that, beating Guillotinecutter in your final duel
isn't that hard, is it!
You're right there!
Well, I wish you good luck!
I wish you good luck, too!
Let's meet again in the new semester!
Sorry. I made an error.
Iinchou-chan's been kidnapped.
What should I do?
Just what should I do!?
Araragi-kun,
give up on continuing to be human.
Araragi-kun...
I'm sorry, Araragi-kun...
I...
You...!
What do you plan on doing with Hanekawa?
I won't do anything.
If you don't do anything either.
I may not possess the superhuman strength you fellows do,
but I am quite well trained.
If it's just a single girl,
I can easily kill them.
And in spite of that you're still human?
Hanekawa,
it's all right.
I'll definitely save you.
That's rather unpleasant.
To the extent of going along with someone playing at high school camaraderie,
I'm not so generous.
Well then, shall we begin.
Begin?
and do what?
The moment the duel has started, raise both your hands,
and say "I give up", and that will be fine.
In other words, we'll put an end to the battle the moment it begins.
Got it.
A–Araragi-kun!
Don't mind about me!
There's no way I wouldn't mind!
If I can't see you anymore, there's no point in becoming human again!
Araragi-kun.
forsake your humanity
With this I really am...
no longer human.
I'm throwing away my humanity.
I know that.
I'm already...
a monster after all.
A star, and you
Étoile, et toi

Tout ce que je vois
And all that I feel
Tout ce que je ressens
You are my universe
Tu es mon univers
I want to hear you call my name
Je veux vous entendre appeler mon nom
I want to feel your presence in my arms
Je peux te sentir dans mes bras
And for this love to last for eternity
Et c'est l'amour qui va durer pour toujours
A star, and you
Étoile, et toi
And you, and me
Et toi, et moi
You are my universe
Tu es mon univers
I want to hear you call my name
Je veux vous entendre appeler mon nom
I want to feel your presence in my arms
Je peux te sentir dans mes bras
Yes, this love will last for eternity
Oui c'est l'amour qui va durer pour toujours
A star, and you
Étoile, et toi
And you, and me
Et toi, et moi
You are my universe
Tu es mon univers

I'm leaving. The job's done, after all.

It's my fault...
My fault...
My fault!
You didn't save me because I was me.
