Kyoukai no Rinne 2nd Season

Rokudou Rinne.

Unbeknownst to the world, he is accompanied by his sidekick,

black cat contractor Rokumon, to purify spirits once again.

Oh, no!

Rinne-sama, I bought some Separation Incense.

Good.

We can use that to turn him back into a normal raccoon.

Day after day...

Rinne-sama, I bought an EZ Revolving Lantern.

Rinne-sama, I bought Feeling Coating Spray.

Yorishiro Doll.

Barrier Duct Tape.

Something's wrong.

Something's really wrong.

I'm taking on so many requests every day.

How are we still poor?

Umm, may I?

What is it, Mamiya Sakura?

What if you try cutting back on the Shinigami Tools?

That's an idea!

She's right, Rinne-sama.

All right, I'm going to purify spirits tomorrow without using any tools.

Yes!

Black Cat Ranking Exam

Ow, ow...

Are you okay, Rinne-sama?

It's really tough without the tools, huh?

What's wrong, Rokumon-chan?

I forgot there's a limited-time sale of Shinigami Tools.

There are a lot that are at least 30 or 40 percent off.

I'll go take a look.

Thanks, Rokumon.

Okay.

I didn't think they'd have all sold out within minutes.

Kain-sama.

Have you seen Kain-sama?

No, I haven't.

We have to work at the reception desk together.

Reception desk?

This.

It's kind of sticky.

I blew my nose earlier.

You're talking about

this, right?

It's a pain in the butt, but Ageha-sama won't stop nagging me to go.

I'm going, too.

Is this...

The Black Cat Ranking Exam?

Yes.

The Black Cat Ranking Test is an ascension exam for black cat contractors,

held several times a year.

The test is open to all black cats who pay the fee.

I'm thinking of taking the challenge.

I know about it, of course, but a 500 yen exam fee, huh?

I hear it's a pretty tough exam.

Isn't it too early for you?

But Oboro-kun and Suzu-chan are taking it, too.

You aren't them.

Why don't you wait another two or three years, rather than push yourself too far?

I guess I can't, huh?

I thought it might be good to do,

since there's a new discount on Shinigami tools for ranked cats.

Hm?

But it'd be a waste of 500 yen if I fail.

All right.

I'll give up for now.

Rokumon, break a leg.

This is the Black Cat Ranking Exam hall.

It's time.

Rokudou Rinne's black cat contractor, Rokumon.

What a pain.

Shinigami Ageha's black cat contractor, Oboro.

I'm so hungry.

Shirushigami Kain's black cat contractor, Suzu.

And others.

Written Exam

The ranking exam begins.

You have sixty minutes.

And now, begin the written exam.

Let's see...

"Before purifying, one must always perform the finger-pointing test.

True or false?"

It's all common sense questions.

"What is the length of Barrier Duct Tape required

for deploying a barrier on the area below?"

It's getting a bit harder.

Let's see, I want to conserve tape, so...

Just buy everything at the store. Jeez.

Let's just say 100 rolls.

"What is the first action one should take when their Shinigami is in danger?"

Should I save them?

Or should I buy Shinigami tools?

Oh, got it.

"Watch with a grin as Ageha-sama squirms."

They were polar opposites.

"How many ranks are there, currently, of black cats?"

This one's easy.

Elder Kuroida is 10th Dan.

That was too easy.

Maybe it's a trick question.

Someone's writing like mad.

You!

No scratching.

I'm bored already!

Yum.

To think I get to drink as much tea as I want for free.

You're here, too, Rinne?

Ageha.

That's so cool, seeing you here.

Oh?

I'm impressed you found 500 yen to spend on the exam when you're swamped in debt.

Look who's talking, Kain.

You got lured in by the ranked cat discount, didn't you?

Because I'm poor, for some reason.

Shirushigami Kain's family is a cash cow for Rokudou's father, Sabato.

They are very poor.

Ahh, tasty.

The written exam is over.

Damn, what a pain.

Rinne-sama.

Rokumon.

You better have done it properly, Oboro.

How am I supposed to even get those questions wrong? They're so easy.

I had so much time damn time left over.

Kain-sama.

Suzu, did you do well?

I got kicked out.

She was being a distraction with her scratching.

Kain, it seems you threw your 500 yen exam fee down the drain.

What a hopeless idiot.

We're presenting the written exam results.

Yay, I got 80 out of 100!

You're incredible.

I studied properly.

Oboro, zero percent?

What the heck?

You forgot to write your name.

You're a hopeless idiot of a cat.

I wrote my name!

Yup, yup.

Writing your name is worth five points.

Yay!

Five points! Five points!

We win.

You idiot!

We'll be having lunch before the practical exam.

Please gather at the hall in an hour.

Lunch time, lunch time.

Here, Suzu, kake soba.

Let's have half-and-half.

Okay, time to eat.

Half-and-half...

More, please.

It's so warm and tasty.

I know.

I made lunch.

I have lots; let's eat together.

You made me make it.

Shut up!

I made some, too.

Scrambled eggs, huh?

It's actually an omelette.

Well, at least the rest of it is—

It's yummy!

What are you doing?!

Have some warm tea, Suzu.

Unlimited refills.

Hey, Kain!

Your dumb cat...

What are you talking about?

It's a cover-up.

Sob, sob...

We still have the scrambled eggs, though.

Omelette.

Egg shells.

A great source of calcium.

Lucky me!

There are three practical tests in total.

The first one is the concentration test.

It's...

Balls.

Cat teasers.

Toy mice.

Cardboard boxes.

The whole course is littered with stuff cats love.

All accompanying Shinigami, please submit your Shinigami Scythes.

Our scythes?

For what reason?

Black cats, when you arrive at the goal,

please pull on the string for your Shinigami's scythe.

That will signal your completion.

That's an odd rule.

Oboro's going to win anyway.

I don't get it.

Why do they need our scythes?

Well then, the first practical test, the concentration test, begin!

Still, all the traps in the test area are toys.

Rokumon is more mature than he looks.

This course is easy for him.

He got trampled at the starting line.
