**[00:01] Machi**
Ichiro! I wrote my New Year's cards,
and now I'll go send them!
**[00:04] Ichiro**
Hold on. Send mine out, too.
**[00:06] Machi**
Sure!
**[00:13] Ichiro**
G-Good morning.
**[00:15] Ichiro**
*Here comes that Christmas memory again!*
**[00:19] Shiori**
Good morning.
**[00:21] Shiori**
Um...
**[00:22] Ichiro**
Did something happen?
**[00:23] Shiori**
Yes, I heard from the island yesterday.
**[00:27] Ichiro**
Did they maybe figure out
how to annul the pact?
**[00:30] Shiori**
No, my mother contacted me.
**[00:34] Ichiro**
What did she say?
**[00:36] Shiori**
I was told they're looking
forward to my return.
**[00:40] Shiori**
But if I go back now, I don't know when
I'd next be able to leave the island,
**[00:45] Shiori**
so I told her I won't be
going back for a while.
**[00:48] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[00:50] Shiori**
Well, I'm sorry there's nothing
to pass along about the pact.
**[00:54] Shiori**
I've tasked someone I trust with that,
so please let them keep investigating.
**[00:59] Ichiro**
Got it, no problem.
**[01:01] Ichiro**
No need to feel so down about it.
**[01:03] Ichiro**
W-Want to prepare for the new year together?
**[01:06] Shiori**
Sure!

What other plans are there for New Year's?
**[01:34] Machi**
Plans? There are no such things.
**[01:38] Machi**
We'll eat New Year's food and lie around,
**[01:40] Machi**
then eat more New Year's food
and lie around some more.
**[01:43] Machi**
They call that the New Year's Staycation.

Not that I'd bathe with
Ichiro anymore, of course.
**[05:37] Machi**
Shio-chan, let's try out
the spring together!
**[05:40] Shiori**
A lovely idea!
**[05:44] Ichiro**
Are you okay looking after Machi?
**[05:46] Shiori**
Of course!
**[05:48] Shiori**
It'll be great.
**[05:49] Machi**
Yeah!
**[05:50] Ichiro**
See you later, then.
**[05:58] Machi**
The water's great!
**[06:02] Shiori**
Everyone's naked.
**[06:05] Machi**
Shio-chan! Don't go staring
at strangers in here!
**[06:09] Shiori**
You're right. I'm sorry.
**[06:11] Shiori**
It's my first time bathing with others.
**[06:14] Machi**
No problem! Today I'll teach
you about hot spring manners!

You're so dependable!

**[06:41] Ichiro**
*I wonder if she's looking after her.*
**[06:44] Shiori**
That was a great bath.
**[06:49] Shiori**
Oh, you guys had already gotten out.
**[06:52] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san!
**[06:53] Ichiro**
W-Were things all right? With your tail.
**[06:58] Ichiro**
Don't worry, I had my tail tucked away.

**[07:05] Shiori**
Are you dizzy from the heat?
**[07:07] Ichiro**
No, I'm fine. It's nothing.
**[07:10] Shiori**
Kuga-san?
**[07:11] Ichiro**
I'm fine!
**[07:12] Machi**
What're they doing?
**[07:13] Shiori**
Are you sure?
**[07:19] Machi**
What a feast!
**[07:38] Ichiro**
*They said* they *were going
to use the footbath, too.*
**[07:44] Shiori**
May I sit next to you?
**[07:46] Ichiro**
Yeah. Sure. Of course.
**[07:52] Shiori**
Kuga-san, I...
**[07:55] Shiori**
There's something I want to do with you.
**[07:59] Ichiro**
*So cute!*
**[08:02] Shiori**
Look at this, I installed
manga production software!
**[08:06] Shiori**
A drawing app!
**[08:10] Ichiro**
Oh, right. That.
**[08:12] Shiori**
Once you're used to it, it's not much
different from drawing on paper.
**[08:15] Shiori**
See?
**[08:16] Ichiro**
I haven't touched this sort of thing
since I deleted Moka-nee's data.
**[08:20] Shiori**
It's just doodling for fun.
**[08:23] Shiori**
See, you can even redo things.
**[08:26] Shiori**
And applying tone is a cinch.
**[08:28] Shiori**
Give it a try, Kuga-san.
**[08:30] Ichiro**
Sure.
**[08:36] Ichiro**
Wow, that really is something.
**[08:39] Shiori**
And if you take the wonderful art this
kind person made, and do this...
**[08:45] Ichiro**
These days, you can even do stuff like that?
**[08:48] Ichiro**
Now I'm interested.
**[08:50] Shiori**
I thought you might be.
**[08:52] Shiori**
It's good for adding color, too.
**[09:01] Ichiro**
We've come to this great place
with an incredible view,
**[09:05] Ichiro**
yet we're playing around with a tablet.
**[09:07] Shiori**
Well, good point.
**[09:09] Ichiro**
I've never had a New Year like this.
**[09:12] Ichiro**
I'm truly grateful.
**[09:16] Shiori**
What a relief. It kind of seemed
like you were avoiding eye contact.
**[09:21] Ichiro**
N-No, I was just being self-conscious...
**[09:24] Ichiro**
Sorry.
**[09:25] Shiori**
Is that what it was? Gee.
**[09:29] Shiori**
I've never spent New Year's like this either,
**[09:32] Shiori**
and it's fun, but I've also had some doubts.
**[09:36] Shiori**
It's okay to enjoy it, isn't it?
**[09:38] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san.
**[09:40] Ichiro**
It worries you that you didn't go home, huh?
**[09:44] Shiori**
The truth is, I left the island
without my mother's permission.
**[09:48] Shiori**
I managed to leave thanks to my grandmother's
dying wish that I get to do what I want.
**[09:55] Ichiro**
And your mother isn't too pleased.
**[09:57] Shiori**
It was my first time ever disobeying her, so
it felt like my heart was going to burst!
**[10:04] Shiori**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[10:06] Shiori**
Here we are on this trip,
and we're talking about this!
**[10:10] Ichiro**
It's not like that!
**[10:11] Ichiro**
Well, that is, I don't mean you
should force yourself to cheer up.
**[10:15] Ichiro**
I realize you're concerned about the island,
**[10:18] Ichiro**
but also don't want to go back,
so it's okay for you to worry.
**[10:24] Ichiro**
It's hard to put into words,
**[10:26] Ichiro**
but if the island's weighing on your mind,
**[10:28] Ichiro**
I just wish there was a way for you to feel
better without necessarily going back.
**[10:33] Ichiro**
And I wonder what I can do about it.
**[10:46] Ichiro**
G-Goshiki-san! Um...
**[10:50] Shiori**
I feel better about it now.
**[10:52] Ichiro**
Why?
**[10:56] Shiori**
Because you know the way I feel.
**[11:02] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[11:15] Machi**
I slept so much!
**[11:17] Ichiro**
Good morning.
**[11:18] Machi**
Good morning. You got up early.
**[11:22] Ichiro**
Yeah, I was too wound up to sleep much.
**[11:27] Machi**
Kinda like a little kid.
**[11:31] Shiori**
What are you looking at?
**[11:35] Ichiro**
The photos from yesterday.
I sure did take a lot of them.
**[11:45] Shiori**
They're lovely! Could you send them to me?
**[11:48] Ichiro**
Of course.
**[11:50] Shiori**
Thank you.
**[11:53] Ichiro**

And so, it's nice to meet you!

S-Sorry!
**[13:01] Ichiro**
I guess I couldn't stand
what she said to you!
**[13:05] Ichiro**
I wanted to tell her you're
more loved than that...
**[13:09] Ichiro**
*Man*, I should have been calmer!
**[13:11] Ichiro**
For the future's sake, I'd better
offer her a more proper greeting!

He made some teasing mention of
marriage and then hung up on me.

Who is this guy, a con artist?
**[15:11] islander 4**
They're out there, you know.
Matrimonial swindlers!
**[15:13] islander 5**
The princess is in danger.
Let's call her home immediately.
**[15:17] Miyako**
I will go and get her.
**[15:19] islander 1**
You personally, Miyako-sama?
**[15:21] islander 3**
You mustn't. What would become of the island?
**[15:24] islander 4**
Both Star Children gone at the same time?!
**[15:26] Miyako**
But do you think anyone else
can bring back the princess?
**[15:30] islander 2**
No, that would never work.
**[15:33] islander 3**
But Miyako-sama, surely you won't go alone?
**[15:36] Takeru**
We'll go with her.
**[15:38] islander 1**
Takeru-san!
**[15:40] Takeru**
I must speak to her, as her parent.
**[15:52] Miyako**
Shiori...
**[15:56] Shiori**
Lovely.
**[15:58] Shiori**
I want us to have a matching pair.

**[16:02] Shiori**
Kuga-san, Kuga-san.
Time to get some mementos.
**[16:05] Machi**
We're gonna go check the chocolates!
**[16:07] Shiori**
Okay.
**[16:11] Shiori**
Kuga-san?
**[16:12] Ichiro**
Oh, yeah.
**[16:15] Ichiro**
You're getting a call.
**[16:18] Shiori**
Whatever. It's just my mother.
**[16:22] Shiori**
Don't worry about it so much.
**[16:24] Ichiro**
I do, though!
**[16:27] Ichiro**
I think I made things more complicated.
**[16:30] Ichiro**
It had to be a surprise, me jumping
in like that with no warning.
**[16:34] Ichiro**
Maybe now your relationship with
your family is even worse.
**[16:38] Shiori**
I was grateful, so please
don't talk that way.
**[16:42] Ichiro**
Well, it's not like
I wanted to pick a fight.
**[16:45] Ichiro**
If I'd really been thinking about you,
I'd have known not to ramble on irresponsibly.
**[16:50] Shiori**
I-Irresponsibly?
**[16:52] Shiori**
Does that mean you got caught up
in the heat of the moment?
**[16:55] Ichiro**
No. I've given it plenty of thought.
I just wish I had said it more tactfully.
**[17:03] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san?
**[17:05] Shiori**
I was very happy then.
**[17:07] Shiori**
That's good enough, so you don't
need to go regretting it!
**[17:11] Ichiro**
Well, it's reflection more than regret.
**[17:14] Ichiro**
Like, I should have thought
harder about it for your sake.
**[17:18] Shiori**
Wh-Why do you end up losing
confidence, Kuga-san?
**[17:23] Ichiro**
*Confidence!*
**[17:25] Shiori**
When you go red from shyness or smile
reservedly, it really touches me!
**[17:29] Ichiro**
Wait—
**[17:30] Shiori**
But there's no use brooding
over what's already done!
**[17:34] Ichiro**
B-Brooding?
**[17:36] Ichiro**
Well, I happen to think so, too.
**[17:39] Shiori**
What I'm trying to say is,
you're a very lovely person!
**[17:45] Ichiro**
That's what you say, but I've
never thought of myself that way.
**[17:51] Shiori**
Oh, no...
**[17:53] Ichiro**
But—
**[17:54] Shiori**
I don't want the one I love
to look down on himself!
**[18:04] Shiori**
K-Kuga-san!
**[18:05] Shiori**
Are you all right, Kuga-san?!
**[18:08] Ichiro**
R-Retribution again.
**[18:11] Ichiro**
I've had about enough...
**[18:16] Ichiro**
* Oh, it's the same imagery*
* as when I was first stung.*
**[18:20] Ichiro**
*She said then that I'd been "linked."*
**[18:26] Ichiro**
* Why is it the only means of*
* linking has to be so sad?*
**[18:35] Shiori**
Kuga-san, should I call someone?
**[18:37] Shiori**
Maybe it's best if you keep still.
**[18:41] Ichiro**
It's just anemia. I'm all right.
**[18:44] Shiori**
Oh.
**[18:46] Ichiro**
I made you angry...
**[18:49] Shiori**
It's because I was sad.
**[18:51] Ichiro**
*Oh, I made her sad.*
**[18:55] Ichiro**
Sorry, Goshiki-san.
**[18:56] Shiori**
No, I was the one who...
**[19:11] Ichiro**
D-Don't strain yourself.
**[19:13] Shiori**
I'm fine!
**[19:15] Shiori**
And I'm... I'm fed up with this!
**[19:18] Shiori**
We can't even argue with this dumb pact.
**[19:21] Ichiro**
Yeah, neither of us was at fault.
**[19:25] Shiori**
I know, right?!
**[19:30] Shiori**
You're smiling again. What's up?
**[19:33] Shiori**
You're the one this thing afflicts.
**[19:35] Ichiro**
Sorry, I just...
**[19:37] Ichiro**
I thought you were mad at me back there.
**[19:39] Shiori**
I'm sad.
**[19:41] Ichiro**
Yeah. I know that now.
**[19:43] Ichiro**
I just thought, seriously
angry people sure are pretty.
**[19:49] Shiori**
This... is no time for saying such things.
**[19:53] Ichiro**
Sorry.
**[19:54] Ichiro**
I've never thought of myself as lovely.
**[19:57] Shiori**
That again?
**[19:58] Ichiro**
But I do like myself quite
a bit for loving you.
**[20:03] Ichiro**
That's why I've got so much
rattling around in my head.
**[20:06] Shiori**
Huh.
**[20:08] Shiori**
All right, then. Sort out your thoughts.
**[20:12] Shiori**
And please come away from
it liking yourself a lot.
**[20:17] Machi**
Shio-chan!
**[20:19] Machi**
What's wrong, Ichiro?
**[20:21] sign**
You okay?

**[20:22] Fumio**
Ichiro.
**[20:23] Shiori**
It's anemia.
**[20:25] Machi**
Huh?
**[20:25] Ichiro**
I got a little dizzy, but I'm fine now.
**[20:28] Machi**
Really?
**[20:29] Ichiro**
You bet!
**[20:32] Machi**
Well, all's well that ends well.
**[20:34] Machi**
These are for you two.
**[20:35] Ichiro**
These?
**[20:39] Machi**
Souvenirs for you.
**[20:40] Fumio**
For you.
**[20:42] Fumio**
To thank Shio-chan for the trip.
**[20:44] Fumio**
Don't you like having a matching pair?
**[20:48] Shiori**
Thank you!
**[20:50] Shiori**
I'll treasure it for life.
**[20:51] Machi**
Whoa, don't go overboard!
**[20:54] Shiori**
It makes me so happy!
**[20:56] Machi**
Maybe *too* happy!
**[21:00] Machi**
We've got to buy something for us, too!
**[21:04] Shiori**
The two of us are in love,
but we aren't all by ourselves.
**[21:10] Shiori**
Not as long as we have
Machi-chan and Fumi-kun.
**[21:14] Shiori**
I feel like I understand your
troubles a little better.
**[21:20] Shiori**
Are you willing to fight by my side?
**[21:23] Shiori**
It might mean going to
the island to annul the pact.
**[21:28] Shiori**
But even so, I want us to be rid
of the pact once and for all.
**[21:36] Ichiro**
Yeah, let's go together.
**[21:45] Machi**
Back home already.
**[21:47] Shiori**
Let's go visit again sometime.
**[21:50] Machi**
Huh?
**[21:51] Machi**
Someone's here.
**[21:53] Shiori**
We have a guest?
**[22:01] Miyako**
We're going home, Shiori.
**[22:04] Shiori**
M-M...
**[22:07] Shiori**
Mother?!
**[22:09] Ichiro/Machi**
"Mother"?!
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A long red thread stretching
into the distance
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Meeting you, even if it meant having
to cross hundreds of light-years
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe I'll slowly get used to
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond
that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've
come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and
the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
**[23:45] Shiori**
This day has finally arrived!
**[23:47] Shiori**
The bigger the obstacles,
the hotter burns the love!
**[23:50] Ichiro**
Don't you think you read too much manga?
**[23:52] Shiori**
Come on! Overcome this obstacle with me!
**[23:55] Shiori**
Even should the flames surround us!
