Asumu
Please sit in a well-lit room, at a comfortable distance, when watching.
Hibiki is... a man who transforms into an Oni and saves people.
Since meeting this strange man, something within me, Adachi Asumu, has begun to change.
One day, I went on an errand with Hibiki...
and found an elderly lady suffering.
Meanwhile,
Ibuki and Todoroki were...

Transforming Cocoon
Ibuki!
Get Retsurai to Todoroki!
Akira!
Begone, pest!
Akira!
Akira.
Akira!
Ibuki, please take Retsurai.
Right.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Just wait a little longer.
Thank you.
Adachi.
Here's a futon.
Can you lie down?
Thank you.
Shouldn't you have a cell phone or something?
You're a doctor, aren't you?!
You're one to talk!
Hurry!
Sakamoto Clinic Internal, Pediatrics, House Calls Director: Sakamoto Jirou Worker's compensation approved clinic
Alright!
Hurry, Hibiki!
Dr. Sakamoto, if I run any faster, you'll get motion sickness!
What?!
Hurry!
Yes, this is Adachi.
This is Tachibana.
Ah, can you wait a moment?
I'm sorry.
Oh no, no. I'm sorry.
So, well...
How's Hibiki?
He's out right now.
Ah, really?
I see...
Thanks for waiting!
Hello?
Hibiki!
Hello?
I brought Dr. Sakamoto!
Doctor, sorry!
No big deal.
Hurry and examine her, okay?
Leave it to me!
Sayuri?
Are you okay?
Jirou.
I'm sorry for always bothering you.
No, no.
It's okay.
Ah, Hibiki.
It's from Mr. Tachibana.
The boss?
Hello?
This is Hibiki.
Alright! I'm off.
Okay.
I'm glad Master Sayuri seems to be doing better.
Yeah. You two did a good job of taking care of her without panicking.
It's because you said "I'm counting on you."
Thank you.
Ah, no problem.
Oh, give my regards to cheer girl Mochi too.
Okay.
Hibiki!
Bye then!
Bye.
Ah, you already sent Hibiki?
Yeah.
I thought he should head over there... just in case.
Really?
Ah, that's reassuring.
You're worried about Akira, aren't you?
Yeah...
Sorry.
It's true she's extremely exhausted...
but she's a strong girl!
When she wakes up, tell her she did a good job.
Sure.
What else?
Yes...
The two groups of monsters are definitely working together.
I see...
It seems "that person" is there, so...
I expect you to be as careful as possible this time.
Right.
For now, I will continue searching for the Ubume and Yamaarashi.
Please work with Hibiki and Todoroki.
Right.
Goodbye.
Hibiki is heading here?
Yes. There are a lot of irregularities.
That's true.
This is for the best.
What? Are you planning to just wait for Hibiki?
Oh no, well...
Sorry.
Oh man! I knew Zanki would say that!
How?
Anyway, Ibuki...
They were mostly focused on their paths forward,
but so they don't sneak up on us, we should send out your disks too.
That way we can cover more territory.
Right.
Jirou.
Looks like I've troubled you once again.
What are you saying? You should be thanking these kids.
They and Hibiki are the ones who helped you out.
Thank you so much.
Two monsters that don't attack people...
and two groups of Douji and Hime attacking in cooperation?
Don't tell me I'll have to face them both at the same time?
Looks like that might be the worst case scenario.
Really... where do they get these ideas?!
You still write everything out in that when you get home?
If I don't, I won't memorize it.
Must be tough being the Special Mobile Attack Unit, since you have to be responsible for the non-taiko guys too.
Yeah, it is!
What... watch out!
It's alive!
I'm sorry I'm late.
Hello.
Welcome! I heard you guys had a hard time.
Excuse me for a moment.
Yes?
Oh, this is Todoroki.
Asumu, can you take care of things here?
Okay.
Umm...
We found something that seems like a monster...
"Seems like"?
Ah... to be honest, I don't really know exactly what it is...
Personally, I think it's like a Yamaarashi...
Uh-huh...
But Ibuki thinks it's more like an Ubume.
An Ubume, huh?
Yes.
I see.
Thanks for waiting.
Thank you!
Delicious as always!
But y'know...
Even though you're just working at a dumpling shop,
you get to experience so many different things.
That's definitely true.
Yup.
Y'know...
Even though Hibiki's a sunny guy,
it really seems like there's a lot going on with him.
Right?
That's true.
Huh?
Ah, no...
Adachi... I think...
you've changed lately...
Ehh?!
Like earlier, when you suddenly took Master Sayuri's hand.
I wonder if that's Hibiki's influence on you?
Maybe...
I don't know...
Right?
Excuse me.
Ah, welcome.
Please come this way.
Looks like an email's arrived. Hibiki, can you read it for me?
Okay.
I wonder it I can do this?
Hey, I did it! It's from the boss. I'll read it.
Ibuki and. Todoroki have. Found the location... Of the Makamou...
Headed there... Right now...
Just read normally.
So does that mean both of them were found?
Okay, to continue...
There's only one monster, but it seems like there are two.
The heartbeat they found sounds like an Ubume's, but also a Yamaarashi's.
So... what does that mean?
What's that?
Alright.
Ibuki!
Slashing Sound: Seismic Thunder!
Todoroki!
The Slaying Sound didn't work?
Looks like l'm up to bat.
Hibiki!
Hey. You guys okay?
Yes.
Thank you very much!
What is that thing?
Seems like it has the abilities of both the Ubume and Yamaarashi.
Plus, our Slaying Sound attacks don't penetrate it.
Alright. We'll attack from three directions simultaneously.
Let's harmonize our purifying sounds.
I see. That might increase the power of our attacks.
I see!
Let's go!
Okay!
Not done yet!
This one really was exhausting!
Good work.
Sorry I was late.
No need. We were saved by your arrival.
Yeah. But I never would've dreamed of harmonizing all of our Slaying Sounds.
Yeah. Well, it was just an idea.
Well, that was a good idea!
Yeah! That's to be expected from Hibiki.
It's because I'm well-trained!
Oh, Todoroki. Don't you need to do that?
Your thing... what is it? What is it?
No, no, no, Hibiki.
You and Ibuki added in your attacks today, so it's okay this time.
What's that mean?
No, no, it's nothing!
It's nothing!
Tell us what that is.
What is it?
Lately, I've been doing this.
Like this?
No, that's not it.
Transforming Cocoon
It is as if you are wholly transparent
As if everything is passing through you
Is that not how it feels?
Boy! If you are going to journey...
Then you must have clear skies in your heart!
Hit the beat! Keep your beat!
Seek out the places that move your heart!
Hit the beat! Keep your beat!
Find what no one else can do!
That is your resonance!
Please become our child's food.
You're the summer-only type, aren't you?
Have you heard what happens when Hibiki finishes warming up for the summer?
