Year of the Wildest Boar Episode 2 Part 1

Title card pops up immediately. This chapter is Adolescence?! Exorcism Rally

Things then pick up as the taxi driving everyone pulls up to Yoyogi, which you remark upon. Agyou asks if the dust slimes are drawn to schools, and Tsathoggua suggests they’re more likely going to places where they can make a mess of things. You can either say that might be it or say maybe.

Either way Tsathoggua says it could also be that in that case that schools have lots of things to toss around, since the slimes showed up at the shrine and Kamata to do that. Also the slimes pretty clearly must like messy places.

Agyou wonders why the slimes are doing this, then says that there must have been one original slime even if they multiply by themselves. And since Tsathoggua is the only one who can sense where they are, he wonders if it’s because they look like his own slime minions.

Tsathoggua agrees that it’s strange, but Temujin suggests he’s hiding something. Tsathoggua protests otherwise, though he acts so suspiciously about it that Agyou points out that he’s deliberately not making eye contact. Tsathoggua protests some more saying his eyes are innocent.

Gullinbursti asks if anyone is going to go since he’s itching to do something. He then hears something going on and asks Tsathoggua if that’s where the slimes are, pointing at the sports club rooms. Tsathoggua confirms that to be the case, so you say you guys should go check it out.

Over at the building in the middle of the ground floor, two students are arguing. Durga is complaining about stuff happening, like how she wanted to be the first at school today only to be shown up by a lot of weird things popping up.

Gunzou is shocked she called him over for that and says he thought she was inviting him to go shrine visiting. Durga says if she was she’d already be in line and be the first one up, which Gunzou admits is like her.

Gunzou then asks what this weirdo thing she was talking about is. She tells him it ran off, so Gunzou yells about this being a waste of time. Durga says she’s sure it’s somewhere around there, and that they ran when she chased them. She wanted to catch them but there’s a bunch of them and the only one she can ask for help is Gunzou.

Gunzou protests that she could have called Ashigara or Kyuuma at least. Durga protests that she can’t call seniors and juniors on a day off, which in turn baffles Gunzou since that means she thinks it’s okay to call same grade classmates.

Durga begs him to help and promises to treat him to croquettes. Gunzou tries to turn her down or at least stall when you show up. You can either tease Gunzou about getting a date, greet Durga with New Years greeting, or directly ask about slimes.

Going with A, Gunzou is surprised to see you there and asks why. In B, Durga does the same, then has an additional line greeting you back for New Years. In any case Agyou will give an offscreen explanation, which causes Gunzou and Durga to look at each other awkwardly.

Durga recaps the slimes’ propensity for going around and making messes, and Gunzou says all the club rooms are a mess except maybe sort of probably the rugby room. Durga in response claims the track team’s room is the cleanest. Gunzou then tries to make a comparison to the sumo club’s room, then just Ashigara.

Gunzou then says the building itself is pretty old. The outside may look clean, but maybe there’s something in the plumbing. Durga asks if he means ghosts, and Gunzou says he means pests and insists there can’t be ghosts around. Agyou questions this to his surprise, so Agyou says never mind if he can’t see them.

This of course freaks Gunzou out further, leading him to ask what Agyou sees. Agyou says that he’s a komainu with strong spiritual power, so he can see what can’t be seen normally. Then he changes the subject back to the slimes and asks where they are.

Durga says she tried to catch them but they ran. She thinks they should still be in the building though. There’s a lot of rooms though so searching could be a problem. Gullinbursti says you’d have to search several rooms at once and you luckily have the numbers to do that. He suggests everyone drive the slimes to the entrance where he’ll get rid of them. You can ask if he can handle that alone, say he’s dependable, or say it’ll be faster if everyone helps.

Going with A, Gullinbursti says it’s fine and says that this is what’s possible for one person. Also, being the first spear is a boar’s pride so he wants to do it.

Sometime later, Durga says she’ll find the most dust slimes, reasoning that if they like messy places then they’ll be in the sumo club’s room. She turns this whole thing into a bet with Gunzou where whoever loses has to pay for croquettes, then runs off. Gunzou protests that she said she’d pay earlier.

Agyou says you guys should go too. Temujin calls this a bit loud for child’s play, but talks about how there’s overflowing life force here. Tsathoggua leans over to ask if he’s okay, and Temujin asks what he’s talking about in response. Tsathoggua says it seems like he’ll still be around for a while.

Temujin asks if he’s asking about him, then says Tsathoggua’s standing further away from everyone and asking about serving him by his side. Tsathoggua says exercise is a pain and there’s no other reason for it. Temujin says he’ll bow out of playing along with the child’s play then.

Temujin then goes outside the building somewhere and crouches down. But even so, he hasn’t let his firing stance down, ready to draw at any moment as the episode battle starts.
