**[00:18] (Flashback) A**
I feel bad for the chief priest.
**[00:20] (Flashback) B**
Makoto-chan's only four years old.
**[00:23] (Flashback) A**
She still needs constant care.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Gin**
Your name's Makoto?
**[00:45] (Flashback) Gin**
You can see me?
**[00:51] (Flashback) Gin**
That makes you the 15th.
**[00:56] Mako**
That was how I first met Gintaro.
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
***SIGN*** The 15th Successor and Gintaro
**[02:53] Mako**
My home is a small Inari shrine
**[02:55] ---**
that's been around since the Edo period.
**[02:59] Mako**
Our shrine is dedicated to the god
of agriculture, Uka-no-Mitama.
**[03:12] Mako**
Wait, what?
**[03:14] Mako**
Man, what happened?
**[03:16] Mako**
There's my father the
chief priest, myself,
**[03:19] Mako**
and Gintaro, the herald who serves
as a messenger of the gods.
**[03:23] Mako**
The three of us live together.
**[03:26] Gin**
Hey, Makoto.
**[03:27] Gin**
Can you keep the noise level
down when you wake up?
**[03:30] Mako**
Oh, Gintaro! Good morning!
**[03:32] Tatsuo**
Oh, is Gintaro-sama on the roof?
**[03:35] Mako**
Yup.
**[03:36] Tatsuo**
I'm not fortunate enough to see him,
since I married into the family.
**[03:43] Tatsuo**
I hope that you will continue
to put up with Makoto.
**[03:48] Mako**
Gintaro is a herald, so normal
people can't see him.
**[03:52] Mako**
I can see him because I am a
true successor of this shrine.
**[03:57] Tatsuo**
Anyway, Makoto,
don't you need to go to school?
**[03:59] Mako**
Right! Can you take this, Dad?!
**[04:02] Mako**
Bye!
**[04:03] Tatsuo**
Be careful now.
**[04:06] Mako**
Heralds typically come in pairs,
**[04:09] Mako**
but it sounds like his
partner left a century ago,
**[04:14] Mako**
so Gintaro is the only
herald at our shrine.
**[04:17] Mako**
Still, what's important is
that you have faith,
**[04:20] Mako**
so our shrine isn't any worse off.
**[04:28] Mako**
Wait! I need to...
**[04:36] Aki**
Here's a special charm.
**[04:39] Sachina**
This will help you get better.
**[04:41] Aki**
Yep.
**[04:43] Sachina**
Oh, it's Makoto-oneechan!
**[04:46] Both**
Good morning, onee-chan!
**[04:51] Mako**
Good morning, Sa-chan and Aki-chan!
**[04:53] Mako**
What happened to that cat?
**[04:55] Aki**
She's hurt,
**[04:56] Aki**
so we're going to take care of
her together until she's better.
**[04:59] Sachina**
Her name is Mi-chan.
**[05:02] Mako**
I hope she gets better soon.
**[05:03] Both**
Uh-huh!
**[05:04] Mako**
Oh!
**[05:06] Mako**
I need to be somewhere,
so I'll talk to you later!
**[05:09] Both**
Bye-bye!
**[05:11] Both**
She must be late again.

Saeki, see me in the faculty office.
**[05:27] A**
Busted!
**[05:33] Yumi**
Seriously?
**[05:37] Mako**
And the new term just started...
**[05:39] Yumi**
Saeki.
**[05:40] Mako**
Oh, um...
**[05:41] Yumi**
I'm Yumi. Ikegami Yumi.
**[05:43] Yumi**
We need to talk.
**[05:46] Mako**
Wh-What is it?
**[05:47] Yumi**
I hear that you can tell fortunes.
**[05:54] Mako**
Gin!
**[05:58] Mako**
Gin!
**[06:01] Mako**
Where are you?!
**[06:03] Mako**
Gin?
**[06:06] Mako**
Gin?
**[06:07] Gin**
Fool.
**[06:12] Mako**
Gintaro!
**[06:13] Gin**
Why would I be down there?
**[06:17] Mako**
I need you to look at
a classmate for me!
**[06:22] Gin**
Do you understand what
it means to be a herald?
**[06:24] Mako**
I'll give you an orange.
**[06:52] Mako**
Don't mess around.
Ordinary people can't see you.
**[06:57] Gin**
She got in a fight with her boyfriend?
**[07:21] Mako**
Well?
**[07:23] Gin**
Eh, she'll probably be fine.
**[07:25] Mako**
Really?
**[07:26] Gin**
Yeah, her boyfriend is also sorry.
**[07:30] Gin**
But I'd warn her:
**[07:32] Gin**
This girl is pretty stubborn.
**[07:36] Gin**
She needs to be humble
when approaching...
**[07:38] Yumi**
Really?! Awesome!
**[07:40] Mori**
Great news, Yumi!
**[07:41] Iwai**
See? Aren't you glad you talked to her?
**[07:43] Mako**
Um, try to be humble
when you apologize...
**[07:45] Yumi**
See ya around, Saeki.
**[07:47] Yumi**
Thanks.
**[07:48] Mako**
Be humble!
**[07:49] Mako**
Try to be humble...
**[07:52] Gin**
Man, you're the first priest
to abuse a herald like this.
**[07:57] Gin**
Yuuko was more composed and ladylike.
**[08:01] Mako**
Don't compare me to Mom...
**[08:04] Gin**
Anyway, I'm never doing
anything like this again.
**[08:08] Gin**
Oranges or not.
**[08:11] Mako**
Fine.
**[08:12] Gin**
Give me another one.
**[08:16] Mako**
I'm out.
**[08:17] Gin**
What?!
**[08:18] Mako**
Really?
**[08:26] Mako**
*I wonder why he likes oranges.*
**[08:34] Mako**
Oh, Ikegami-san...
**[08:39] Yumi**
Fraud! You said everything
would be fine if I apologized!
**[08:44] Yumi**
I apologized just like you said!
**[08:47] Yumi**
I even said I was sorry!
**[08:54] Mako**
No way...
**[08:57] Mako**
The girl you just looked at said
that my advice made things worse!
**[09:00] Mako**
You said she would be fine!
**[09:02] Gin**
Huh? That's not my problem.
**[09:06] Gin**
The future isn't set in stone.
**[09:08] Mako**
How can you say that?
**[09:10] Mako**
Everyone comes here asking for
help because you're always right!
**[09:13] Gin**
You're the one who's always
asking me for help.
**[09:16] Gin**
Besides, you didn't give
her the entire message.
**[09:25] Mako**
Well...
**[09:27] Gin**
Man, some people make me laugh.
**[09:29] Gin**
They never visit shrines,
**[09:32] Gin**
but when in trouble,
they turn to the gods?
**[09:37] Gin**
Give me a break.
**[09:40] Mako**
What's wrong with that?!
**[09:41] Mako**
That's what this shrine is for!
**[09:43] Mako**
It's a place for people to
come when they're in trouble!
**[09:46] Gin**
It doesn't help when you can't
tell fortunes the way Yuuko did.
**[09:50] Mako**
Well!
**[09:52] Mako**
You call yourself a herald,
but you're just a stupid fox!
**[10:00] Gin**
Yeah, that's right.
**[10:01] Gin**
I'm just a mischievous old fox.
**[10:05] Gin**
I fooled you all good.
**[10:08] Gin**
Serves you right.
**[10:11] Mako**
Wh-What's that?
**[10:13] Mako**
Stupid Gin!
**[10:17] Mako**
I hate you!
**[10:19] Mako**
Go away!
**[10:20] Gin**
Oh, really now?
**[10:23] Gin**
You need me more than I need you.
**[10:27] Mako**
I don't care!
**[10:28] Mako**
Just leave!
***SIGN*** Offering Box
**[11:12] Aki**
Makoto-oneechan!
**[11:16] Aki**
We can't find Mi-chan!
**[11:18] Sachina**
Mi-chan disappeared!
**[11:20] Mako**
Are you talking about the
cat that was in the park?
**[11:23] Sachina**
She's almost recovered
from being hit by a car.
**[11:27] Aki**
Please help us!
You can find her, right?
**[11:30] Aki**
You helped me find my mom's ring!
**[11:34] Mako**
But that was because...
**[11:39] Sachina**
Onee-chan?
**[11:40] Mako**
It's okay.
**[11:41] Mako**
I'll help you look for her.
**[11:43] Mako**
Can you tell me where
Mi-chan might be?
**[11:45] Both**
Uh-huh.
**[11:48] Gin**
Wow, it's filthy.
**[11:50] Gin**
This tiny shrine should be outside
of Inari's jurisdiction.
**[11:56] Gin**
There used to be Inari shrines
all over the place...
**[12:03] Gin**
This place has changed quite a bit.
**[12:08] Sachina**
Oh, it's the cat lady!
**[12:11] Mako**
Sa-chan! Aki-chan!
**[12:14] Sachina**
Onee-chan!
**[12:15] Aki**
Did you find Mi-chan?!
**[12:17] Yumi**
No, I can't find her.
**[12:22] Yumi**
Ugh, Saeki?!
**[12:23] Mako**
Ikegami-san?
**[12:25] Sachina**
Are you friends?
**[12:27] Aki**
She took Mi-chan to the hospital.
**[12:33] Yumi**
What do you want me to do?
**[12:34] Yumi**
I'm not going to leave an
injured cat lying around.
**[12:39] Yumi**
Anyway, let's look for Mi-chan!
**[12:42] Both**
Uh-huh!
**[12:43] Yumi**
Don't just stand there, Saeki!
**[12:51] A**
What's wrong, John?
**[12:53] A**
What are you barking at?
**[12:56] Gin**
Wh-What's this?
**[13:06] Gin**
Actually, there's no need
for me to avoid those.
**[13:07] Gin**
Oh.
***SIGN*** Shoubai Grand Shrine
**[13:09] Gin**
Right, they live in this area.
**[13:11] Uta**
You got in a fight with your priest?
**[13:13] Gin**
She's not a priest yet.
**[13:16] Sai**
A herald can't let a human abuse him.
**[13:21] Uta**
We heralds only exist because
of the gods we serve.
**[13:25] Sai**
The same can be said of shrines.
**[13:27] Sai**
A shrine without a herald
**[13:29] ---**
will quickly crumble as the
gods' presence fades away.
**[13:32] Uta**
You should return to your own shrine.
**[13:37] Gin**
Thanks for having me.
**[13:40] Sai**
Oh, what happened to your partner?
**[13:46] Uta**
Heralds are meant to be paired.
**[13:52] Gin**
He's gone.
**[13:54] Gin**
He's been gone a long time.
**[13:58] Yumi**
This is all I could find.
**[14:00] Yumi**
She's still hurt, so she
couldn't have gone far.
**[14:04] Aki**
This is Mi-chan's!
**[14:05] Aki**
Sa-chan and I drew this
to help her get better!
**[14:10] Aki**
Makoto-oneechan, use your fortune
telling to find Mi-chan!
**[14:13] Sachina**
Please, onee-chan!
**[14:20] Mako**
That's...
**[14:21] Yumi**
Forget it.
**[14:22] Yumi**
Her fortunes are totally wrong.
**[14:25] Aki**
But she was right before!
**[14:27] Yumi**
I'll check with the animal shelters.
**[14:31] Sachina**
What do we do?
**[14:32] Aki**
Mi-chan...
**[14:34] Yumi**
We'll find her soon.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Mako**
Stupid Gin!
**[14:40] (Flashback) Mako**
I hate you!
**[14:42] (Flashback) Mako**
Go away!
**[14:47] Yumi**
Yes, that's what I said!
**[14:48] Mako**
I'm sorry.
**[14:49] Mako**
I was wrong.
**[14:50] ---**
It's a little overweight, and her legs are wounded...
**[14:51] Mako**
Can you wait a little longer?
**[14:54] Aki**
Onee-chan?!
**[14:55] Yumi**
Saeki?!
**[15:01] Gin**
Bah, I'm supposed to be the boss here.
**[15:05] Gin**
It doesn't matter if Makoto's upset.
**[15:08] Mako**
Gintaro!
**[15:11] Mako**
Gintaro!
**[15:16] Mako**
Gin!
**[15:19] Mako**
Where are you, Gintaro?!
**[15:22] Mako**
Please show yourself!
**[15:25] Mako**
Gin!
**[15:26] Mako**
Come on, Gin!
**[15:30] Tatsuo**
What's wrong?
**[15:33] Mako**
Have you seen Gintaro, Dad?
**[15:35] Tatsuo**
What?
**[15:36] Tatsuo**
Well, I can't see him...
**[15:41] Tatsuo**
Is he gone?
**[15:46] Mako**
What do I do, Dad?
**[15:48] Mako**
I can't find Mi-chan
without Gin's help!
**[15:51] Tatsuo**
Now calm down and start
from the beginning.
**[15:51] Gin**
Oh, she wants me to tell
fortunes for her again?
**[15:55] Tatsuo**
Don't worry. He'll be back soon.
**[15:58] Tatsuo**
He probably went out for a walk.
**[16:02] Mako**
I got in an argument with Gintaro
yesterday and said terrible things.
**[16:06] Mako**
I said I hated him and
told him to leave.
**[16:09] Mako**
It was my fault that the
advice I gave was wrong.
**[16:12] Mako**
I told Gintaro that he was just a fox!
**[16:18] Mako**
I wanted to apologize,
**[16:22] Mako**
but Gintaro's gone!
**[16:26] Mako**
I've made Gin do all kinds of silly
things for selfish reasons.
**[16:30] Mako**
There are people out there
who truly need Gin's help,
**[16:33] Mako**
but I didn't realize that!
**[16:40] Mako**
Maybe I'm just crazy,
**[16:43] Mako**
and Gin never existed.
**[16:45] Tatsuo**
Now, now.
**[16:46] Tatsuo**
If you say that,
**[16:49] Tatsuo**
Gintaro-sama really will leave.
**[16:55] Tatsuo**
Makoto, have you ever thought
about why you're the
**[16:58] ---**
only one who can see Gintaro-sama?
**[17:02] Mako**
No...
**[17:05] Tatsuo**
I don't believe that it's wrong
of you to ask Gintaro-sama
**[17:10] ---**
to help you tell fortunes.
**[17:14] Tatsuo**
I believe it's your role
to serve as an intermediary
**[17:18] ---**
between Gintaro-sama's
world and the human world.
**[17:22] Mako**
An intermediary?
**[17:25] Tatsuo**
You have the ability to
see Gintaro the herald.
**[17:30] Tatsuo**
You have the ability
to relay his words.
**[17:33] Tatsuo**
I want you to consider what that means.
**[17:38] Tatsuo**
Or something like that.
**[17:43] Mako**
Dad, I'm going to go look for Gin!
**[17:46] Mako**
I'll apologize for what
I said yesterday!
**[17:48] Mako**
And then... And then...
**[17:50] Mako**
There are kids who need Gin's help!
**[17:54] Mako**
I'm the only one who can find Gin!
**[17:57] Tatsuo**
Don't stay out too late!
**[17:59] Mako**
Oh, Dad!
**[18:01] Mako**
Can you have a bunch of oranges ready?!
**[18:03] Tatsuo**
Of course.
**[18:05] Tatsuo**
Gintaro-sama loves oranges.
**[18:11] Mako**
*Gin...*
**[18:13] Mako**
*I'm sorry, Gin.*
**[18:15] Mako**
* I should know better after being*
* with you since I was little.*
**[18:18] Mako**
* No, I've been with you*
* for such a long time,*
**[18:22] Mako**
* that I forgot you were a*
* messenger from the gods.*
**[18:26] Mako**
* I have to find Gintaro*
* and say I'm sorry!*
**[18:30] Mako**
Gin!
**[18:31] Mako**
Where are you, Gin?!
**[18:34] Mako**
Gin?!
**[18:38] Gin**
Man, where does she think I went?
**[18:41] Gin**
That girl doesn't use her head.
**[18:46] (Flashback) A**
Hey! Don't mess up my fields!
**[18:50] (Flashback) A**
Damn fox!
**[18:52] (Flashback) A**
Never come back!
**[19:00] (Flashback) A**
What's the matter?
**[19:06] (Flashback) A**
I can only offer you an orange.
**[19:09] (Flashback) A**
But please help yourself.
**[19:26] Gin**
Damn, come on now!
**[19:36] Mako**
Gin...
**[19:38] Mako**
Gintaro?
**[19:44] Gin**
Fool!
**[19:49] Gin**
Man, why would I be down there?
**[19:55] Mako**
Gin...
**[19:56] Mako**
Gintaro...
**[19:58] Mako**
I found you!
**[20:00] Mako**
I finally found you!
**[20:03] Mako**
Stupid!
**[20:05] Mako**
I was worried, stupid Gintaro!
**[20:11] Mako**
Wait, that's not what
I wanted to say.
**[20:14] Mako**
Um...
**[20:15] Mako**
I'm sorry about what I said yesterday.
**[20:18] Mako**
Oh, right.
**[20:19] Mako**
What do I do?!
**[20:20] Mako**
The cat's gone! Mi-chan's missing!
**[20:23] Gin**
Guess I'll have to step in.
**[20:25] Gin**
You can't do anything without me.
**[20:30] Gin**
I'm expecting enough
oranges to make me full.
**[21:00] Mako**
Sa-chan and Aki-chan were thrilled.
**[21:03] Mako**
What's surprising, though,
**[21:05] ---**
is the fact that Ikegami-san's
boyfriend found Mi-chan first.
**[21:09] Mako**
Her bandages came off
before she was healed,
**[21:12] ---**
and he couldn't ignore her.
**[21:14] Mako**
It looks like Ikegami-san
was able to make up
**[21:16] ---**
with her boyfriend in the end.
**[21:24] Mako**
So, um...
**[21:28] Mako**
Thank you, Gin.
**[21:34] Mako**
What is it?
**[21:37] Gin**
I've spent centuries
serving the god Inari,
**[21:42] Gin**
but the priests have always feared
me, revered me, and worshiped me.
**[21:45] Mako**
I've learned my lesson now.
**[21:48] Gin**
But to be honest...
**[21:50] Gin**
I like it better this way.
**[21:58] Gin**
Gimme.
**[21:59] Mako**
Hmm?
**[22:00] Gin**
Don't play dumb.
**[22:01] Gin**
I want my oranges.
**[22:02] Gin**
Oranges.
**[22:05] Mako**
Say, I'm curious.
**[22:08] Mako**
Why do you like oranges?
**[22:10] Gin**
I'm never going to tell you.
**[22:13] Mako**
Why not?
**[22:15] Mako**
Why not?!
**[22:16] Gin**
I refuse to tell you.
**[22:18] Mako**
You don't have to be so mean!
**[22:19] Gin**
Oh, really?
**[22:20] Gin**
Ow! What's that for?!
**[22:21] Mako**
If you happen to be in the area,
please stop by Saeki Shrine.
**[22:28] Mako**
You might run into my
father, the relaxed chief priest
**[22:30] Mako**
or a very lazy and gruff fox spirit.

We wanted to make a wish to the
fox before going to school!
**[00:27] Sachina**
Please help our recital go well!
**[00:32] Mako**
It's a small shrine, so it's
just my dad the priest, me...
**[00:39] Mako**
And...
**[00:40] Gin**
Hey.
**[00:43] Mako**
Gintaro-sama, the fox spirit who serves
as the herald for this shrine.
**[00:48] Gin**
You're going to be late for school.
**[00:52] Mako**
What do I do?!
**[00:52] Mako**
I'm gonna miss the bus again!
**[00:53] Dad**
Oh, you haven't left yet, Makoto?!
**[00:55] Mako**
Dad, take over!
**[00:58] A**
Oh, are those oranges?
**[01:00] Dad**
Yes, the fox spirit who
lives here loves them.
**[01:03] Mako**
I'm leaving!
**[01:06] Gin**
Does she have to make
a scene every morning?
**[01:08] Mako**
Gintaro is a herald, so ordinary
people can't see him.
**[01:25] Mako**
The bus is here!

**[03:02] Kozue**
I'm starving...
**[03:04] Saki**
Um, it's first period.
**[03:08] Ishi**
Are you serious?
**[03:10] Kozue**
Hey, Mako-chi...
**[03:12] Yumi**
Saeki, thanks for your help.
**[03:16] Mako**
Oh, Ikegami-san. I should thank you.
**[03:18] Yumi**
Call me Yumi.
**[03:19] Mako**
Okay.
**[03:21] Yumi**
But I'll never trust your fortunes.
**[03:27] Ishi**
You made up with Shohei?
**[03:29] Yumi**
Yeah, all because Saeki used her
fortune telling to help find a cat.
**[03:34] Kozue**
Mako-chi, when did you become
friends with Ikegami-san?
**[03:37] Mako**
Um, it just kind of happened...
**[03:39] Mori**
So Saeki was spot on!
**[03:42] Ishi**
I should ask her to tell my fortune!
**[03:44] Yumi**
No, no, no.
**[03:46] Yumi**
I wouldn't recommend it.
**[03:47] Yumi**
It was probably just a fluke.
**[03:50] Mako**
How's Mi-chan doing?
**[03:52] Yumi**
She's doing great!
**[03:53] Hiwa**
Excuse me, that's enough chitchat.
**[03:55] Hiwa**
We're supposed to form teams
so we can start playing.
**[03:59] Hiwa**
Six people to a team.
**[04:02] Yumi**
Come on, we're on our own today.
**[04:04] Yumi**
Don't be such a spoilsport, Funabashi.
**[04:08] Hiwa**
I might as well say this now.
**[04:10] Hiwa**
You're making life more
difficult for everyone else
**[04:13] ---**
when you refuse to cooperate.
**[04:15] Yumi**
What?
**[04:18] Yumi**
What brought this on?
**[04:20] Yumi**
I'm not sure why you're
trying to pick a fight.
**[04:23] Hiwa**
I'm not trying to pick a fight.
**[04:24] Yumi**
I'm sure that a model student like
you would think that we're useless.
**[04:27] Saki**
This doesn't look good.
**[04:29] Mako**
Yeah...
**[04:30] Yumi**
Well, you keep on trying to boss
people around, Miss Vice President.
**[04:36] ---**
So annoying.
**[04:37] Yumi**
Let's go.
**[04:38] Ishi**
Wait, Ikegami!
**[04:42] Hiwa**
Honestly, she's a lost cause.
**[04:44] Hiwa**
Saeki-san.
**[04:46] Mako**
Um, yes?
**[04:47] Hiwa**
I believe that you live in a shrine?
**[04:51] Mako**
Yes...
**[04:52] Hiwa**
You should choose your friends wisely.
**[04:55] Mako**
Huh?
**[04:56] Hiwa**
Never mind.
**[04:57] ---**
It's not my business if you
want to be friends with her.
**[05:03] Hiwa**
However,
**[05:04] ---**
I hope that you'll stop distracting
students with your fortune telling.
**[05:08] Hiwa**
I'm sure that you enjoy the
attention you receive.
**[05:12] Mako**
What?
**[05:13] Mako**
What?!
***SIGN*** Funabashi
**[05:28] Hiwa**
I'm home, Mother.
**[05:33] Mom**
Welcome home, Hiwako-san.
**[05:42] Mom**
Is something wrong?
**[05:44] Hiwa**
Um, where is Father?
**[05:47] Mom**
His trip overseas has been extended,
so he won't be back this week.
**[05:52] Hiwa**
I see...
**[05:54] Mom**
Now hurry.
**[05:56] Hiwa**
Yes.
**[05:57] Mako**
So that's what happened.
**[06:00] Mako**
Are you listening to me, Gintaro?
**[06:02] Gin**
Yeah...
**[06:03] Mako**
Jeez...
**[06:05] Mako**
As I was saying, Gintaro,
**[06:07] Mako**
Funabashi-san comes from
a tea ceremony family.
**[06:11] Mako**
Her father is a member of the Diet,
**[06:13] Mako**
and she's Vice President
of the student council.
**[06:15] Mako**
She's smart and pretty,
**[06:18] Mako**
but she can be difficult.
**[06:21] Mako**
Are you listening?
**[06:22] Gin**
Yeah...
**[06:24] Mako**
I mean, compared to Funabashi-san,
I may look like a total failure,
**[06:29] Mako**
but that doesn't mean
she has to be so mean.
**[06:32] Mako**
Plus, she gave Yumi-chan a hard time.
**[06:34] Mako**
Well, I shouldn't let it get to me.
**[06:38] Mako**
I just have to get my act together
**[06:40] ---**
so Funabashi-san stops
saying those things.
**[06:42] Mako**
Okay! I have to work harder, yep!
**[06:45] Gin**
Hypocrite.
**[06:47] Mako**
What?!
**[06:51] Gin**
Aren't you mad about
what that girl said?
**[06:55] Gin**
Cut the goody two-shoes
act and vent away.
**[06:57] Mako**
I'm not...
**[06:58] Gin**
Seriously, humans care too much
about what other people think.
**[07:02] Gin**
You're always complaining
to me when you're home.
**[07:05] Mako**
Huh?
**[07:06] Gin**
That other girl sounds
more reasonable to me.
**[07:09] Mako**
You're wrong.
**[07:11] Mako**
I'm not that bad...
**[07:14] Mako**
Besides, we'd have a huge
mess if everyone did
**[07:17] ---**
whatever they wanted!
**[07:19] Gin**
Not my problem if humans
want to make a huge mess.
**[07:21] Tatsuo**
I'm home!
**[07:23] Mako**
Welcome home, Dad.
**[07:24] Tatsuo**
It's really hot out there today.
**[07:27] Gin**
In that respect,
Tatsuo is really something.
**[07:30] Gin**
There haven't been many
priests like him.
**[07:33] Mako**
What? Is Dad really special?
**[07:35] Gin**
Yeah, I never know what he's thinking.
**[07:39] Mako**
Huh?
**[07:40] Tatsuo**
Oh, what's going on?
**[07:41] Tatsuo**
What did Gintaro-sama say?
**[08:00] Hiwa**
It sounds like my father's
trip has been extended.
**[08:04] Yoshi**
Yes.
**[08:05] Yoshi**
It'll be a few more days
before he returns.
**[08:12] A**
Good morning!
**[08:14] Yumi**
Hey, Saeki!
**[08:16] Mako**
Oh, Yumi-chan. Good morning.
**[08:23] Yoshi**
Have a good day, Hiwako-sama.
**[08:26] Yumi**
Yeah, she's living the good life.
**[08:30] Yumi**
No wonder she's a snob.
**[08:35] Yumi**
Sure, we were fooling around,
**[08:38] Yumi**
but that doesn't mean she
should unload on us.
**[08:40] Mako**
Now, now... Can't we all get along?
**[08:43] Yumi**
Are you crazy?
**[08:44] Yumi**
I want nothing to do with her.
**[08:46] Yumi**
Though I might change my
mind if she apologizes.
**[08:52] Mako**
Ah, Yumi-chan!
**[08:54] Mako**
U-Um... Good morning, Funabashi-san.
**[08:56] Hiwa**
Good morning.
**[08:58] Mako**
Say, Funabashi-san...
**[09:01] Mako**
Would you be willing to
apologize to Yumi-chan?
**[09:04] Hiwa**
Why should I?
Did I say something wrong?
**[09:08] Mako**
But—
**[09:10] Hiwa**
I'll admit that I put her in
an uncomfortable situation,
**[09:14] Hiwa**
but that's necessary in a group
environment like a school.
**[09:19] Hiwa**
We're in high school.
**[09:22] Hiwa**
We're not allowed to live as we please.
**[09:25] Mako**
Huh?
**[09:26] Hiwa**
The bell's about to ring.
**[09:35] B**
That comedian's really funny.
**[09:38] C**
I saw that segment!
**[09:39] C**
He was hilarious!
**[09:40] C**
He'll be ancient history in a year, though.
**[09:42] B**
No way!
**[09:44] T**
Hey, Funabashi.
**[09:45] Hiwa**
Yes.
**[09:46] T**
Class 6 is the only one that
hasn't turned in their reports.
**[09:49] T**
I asked you to collect those, right?
**[09:50] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[09:51] T**
You're usually on top of things.
**[09:53] T**
Bring them to the office right away.
**[09:54] Hiwa**
Right.
**[09:57] Mako**
Huh?
**[09:59] Ishi**
Serves her right.
**[10:03] Hiwa**
Ishii-san, you said you would
drop off the reports for me.
**[10:07] Ishi**
What? When'd I say that?
**[10:10] Mori**
Don't blame other people
when you screw up.
**[10:12] Hiwa**
Stop playing dumb.
**[10:14] Hiwa**
You agreed to take them.
**[10:14] Ishi**
What? No way.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Mori**
Funabashi.
**[10:20] (Flashback) Mori**
We'll drop these off for you.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Mori**
You look busy.
**[10:24] (Flashback) Hiwa**
Thanks, I appreciate it.
**[10:28] Hiwa**
Stop fooling around and
hand the reports over!
**[10:29] Ishi**
No idea what you're talking about.
Why don't you look around?
**[10:32] Mako**
Um, I saw—
**[10:34] A**
Saeki-san, you should stay out of this.
**[10:36] Mako**
But...
**[10:37] B**
Those girls are friends
with Ikegami-san.
**[10:39] A**
Yeah, they're scary.
**[10:41] A**
It's out of our hands.
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
**[10:59] Gin**
Makoto, you're late today.
**[11:04] Gin**
Hey, now. Why are you trying
to run into the statue?
**[11:09] Gin**
What's wrong? Why the long face?
**[11:12] Mako**
Say, Gin...
**[11:13] Mako**
Am I a hypocrite?
**[11:21] Mako**
I would like Yumi-chan, Funabashi-san,
**[11:23] Mako**
and everyone to just get along.
**[11:26] Mako**
But deep down, I don't
really care what they do,
**[11:31] Mako**
as long as I'm not involved.
**[11:35] Mako**
Sorry about making you listen
to me complain again, Gintaro.
**[11:38] Gin**
Stupid. Just let it all out.
**[11:44] Gin**
You usually tend to speak your mind,
**[11:47] Gin**
but since you can see me,
you never get to actually vent.
**[11:51] Gin**
Just let it all out and
you'll feel better.
**[11:55] Gin**
That's what a shrine is for.
**[11:57] Mako**
But you don't like to
listen to me complain.
**[12:01] Gin**
You see...
**[12:04] Gin**
I'll just pretend that
I never heard a word.

Kirishima-senpai, here is the budget
plan for the student council.
**[12:18] Kiri**
You move fast.
**[12:21] Kiri**
Anyway, let's go out somewhere
after we're finished.
**[12:24] Hiwa**
I'll be leaving now.
**[12:29] Kiri**
She's so shy.
**[12:38] Yumi**
Saeki!
**[12:40] Mako**
Oh, Yumi-chan.
**[12:42] Yumi**
It's a good thing you're still around.
**[12:44] Yumi**
Can I stay at your place tonight?
**[12:46] Mako**
Huh? At my place?
**[12:47] Yumi**
I got in a fight with my parents.
**[12:50] Yumi**
I asked around but
didn't have any luck.
**[12:53] Yumi**
Oh, sure, I guess...
**[12:56] Yumi**
Super! I'll go grab my bag!
**[12:59] Mako**
Wait, Yumi-chan.
**[13:00] Mako**
I need to go to the restroom.
**[13:01] Yumi**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Girls' Restroom
**[13:04] Mako**
Well, I guess this works out.
**[13:05] Mako**
I'll have time to talk to her
about Funabashi-san tonight.
**[13:13] Ishi**
Oh, it's Saeki.
**[13:15] Mori**
Why weren't you watching the entrance?
**[13:16] A**
Well...
**[13:18] Mako**
Funabashi-san.
**[13:22] Hiwa**
Saeki-san, we're busy right now.
**[13:25] Hiwa**
Can you go somewhere else?
**[13:27] Ishi**
Why are you taking the lead?
**[13:29] Mori**
Do you understand the situation here?
**[13:33] Hiwa**
Your business is with me,
not with Saeki-san.
**[13:36] Hiwa**
I'm willing to listen to
what you have to say,
**[13:38] Hiwa**
but this isn't the place—
**[13:41] Ishi**
I can't stand that attitude of yours!
**[13:43] Ishi**
What does Kirishima-senpai
see in this girl?!
**[13:46] Hiwa**
Huh? What does the student council
president have to do with this?
**[13:47] Mako**
Um, can you stop this?
**[13:50] Ishi**
None of your business.
**[13:50] Mako**
U-Um...
**[13:51] Mori**
Shut up, Saeki!
**[13:53] Mako**
*What's going on?*
**[13:54] Mako**
*Th-They're scary...*
**[14:01] Yumi**
What are you doing?
**[14:03] Mako**
Yumi-chan.
**[14:04] Ishi**
I-Ikegami...
**[14:10] Yumi**
What's this? Are you teaching
Funabashi a lesson?
**[14:14] Yumi**
Why's Saeki here?
**[14:16] Ishi**
Oh, remember how mad you were at Saeki?
**[14:19] Ishi**
So we figured we'd—
**[14:20] Mori**
Saeki just happened to walk in.
**[14:21] Yumi**
What?
**[14:22] Yumi**
I'm the one who doesn't like Funabashi.
**[14:24] Yumi**
What does that have to
do with all of you?
**[14:28] Mori**
W-Well...
**[14:29] Yumi**
Can you stay out of my problems?
**[14:32] Yumi**
Besides, the teachers are coming.
**[14:35] Yumi**
Everyone can hear you outside.
**[14:37] Ishi**
Crap!
**[14:43] Mako**
Huh? I thought you were friends
with them, Yumi-chan.
**[14:46] Yumi**
What?
**[14:48] Yumi**
We talk and stuff,
but we're not really friends.
**[14:51] Mako**
Huh?
**[14:53] Yumi**
What is it?
**[14:55] Mako**
Nothing!
**[14:56] Mako**
*Yumi-chan isn't who she seems to be.*
**[15:00] Yumi**
So why—
**[15:01] Hiwa**
Should I thank you?
**[15:04] Yumi**
I don't really care,
**[15:06] Yumi**
since you still tick me off.
**[15:10] Hiwa**
I don't intend to apologize.
**[15:12] Hiwa**
Do you understand that you're
making trouble for other people?
**[15:16] Yumi**
I don't see a problem!
**[15:17] Yumi**
You may be smart,
but I wouldn't want to be you!
**[15:20] Mako**
Yumi-chan!
**[15:21] Yumi**
Doesn't she piss you off?
**[15:23] Yumi**
She's so judgmental.
**[15:26] Hiwa**
Judgmental?
**[15:29] Hiwa**
You're the one who's being judgmental!
**[15:32] Hiwa**
I'm a good student?
**[15:34] Hiwa**
My parents are elite?
**[15:35] Hiwa**
I'm usually on top of things?!
**[15:37] Hiwa**
"My daughter should be
able to do everything?!"
**[15:39] Hiwa**
I've had enough!
**[15:41] Hiwa**
I am what I am!
**[15:43] Hiwa**
Don't try to make me something I'm not!
**[15:50] Hiwa**
O-Oh no!
**[15:55] Hiwa**
S-Sorry, I didn't mean
to lose control.
**[15:57] Yumi**
Man, what was that about?
**[15:59] Yumi**
That threw me off.
**[16:01] Yumi**
You usually play it cool
and show no emotion,
**[16:05] Yumi**
but you're just like the rest of us.
**[16:07] Yumi**
Don't hold it all in.
**[16:08] Yumi**
I bet you were just jealous of me.
**[16:14] Hiwa**
I'm not jealous!
**[16:16] Yumi**
Looks like I'm right.
**[16:17] Mako**
Now, now...
**[16:18] Mako**
Say, Funabashi-san,
**[16:20] Mako**
Yumi-chan's staying
at my place tonight.
**[16:23] Mako**
Would you like to join us?
**[16:25] Yumi**
Hey, Saeki!
**[16:26] Hiwa**
At your place?
**[16:28] Mako**
I live in a shrine,
but it's nothing special.
**[16:31] Mako**
Still, I was thinking it'd
be a new experience.
**[16:35] Mako**
Is it okay, Yumi-chan?
**[16:37] Yumi**
I guess it's okay.
**[16:39] Mako**
S-Sorry, Yumi-chan.
**[16:43] Mako**
I'm sorry.
**[16:44] Yumi**
Why are you crying?
**[16:47] Mako**
I'm sorry...
**[16:49] Mako**
*Gintaro, I'm such a fool.*
**[16:59] Yoshi**
Welcome back.
**[17:00] Hiwa**
Yoshizumi, take this
message to my mother.
**[17:03] Hiwa**
"I won't be coming home tonight."
**[17:06] Hiwa**
Let's go, then.
**[17:11] Yumi**
Did you see the look on his face?!
**[17:13] Mako**
Was that the right thing to say?
**[17:15] Hiwa**
I've always wanted to say that.
**[17:28] Mako**
That's our shrine.
**[17:33] A**
Welcome back, Makoto-chan.
**[17:36] Mako**
I'm back, Granny!
**[17:39] A**
I made lots of pickled vegetables,
so I brought some over.
**[17:42] Mako**
Thank you for being so good to us!
**[17:45] A**
Hey, there.
**[17:46] A**
You're not supposed to use
the middle of the stairs.
**[17:49] Yumi**
Huh? Why not?
**[17:51] A**
The middle of the path is
reserved for the gods.
**[17:54] A**
So you're not supposed to walk there.
**[17:57] Yumi**
Oh, I never knew about that custom.
**[17:59] Hiwa**
I think I've heard about it.
**[18:01] Mako**
That's right,
**[18:03] Mako**
but sometimes I forget
and walk in the middle.
**[18:22] Hiwa**
It's so quiet...
**[18:24] Hiwa**
My house is quiet,
but in a different way.
**[18:29] Hiwa**
For some reason,
this place is very calming.
**[18:32] Yumi**
Yep.
**[18:34] Tatsuo**
Welcome home, Makoto.
**[18:36] Tatsuo**
Oh? Are these your friends?
**[18:38] Mako**
Wait, Dad! Why are you
dressed like that?!
**[18:42] Tatsuo**
Hello.
**[18:43] Yumi**
Hi there.
**[18:45] Hiwa**
Hello.
**[18:47] Hiwa**
Um, we were just told
**[18:49] ---**
that the middle of the path
is reserved for the gods...
**[18:53] Tatsuo**
That's right.
**[18:54] Tatsuo**
Once you pass under the gate,
you're on sacred ground.
**[18:57] Tatsuo**
When visiting a shrine,
you're supposed to walk on the left side
**[19:01] Tatsuo**
and leave room for the gods.
**[19:05] Tatsuo**
At the same time,
**[19:06] Tatsuo**
it also ensures that people
don't run into each other.
**[19:11] Tatsuo**
It was a way of teaching
the lesson that people
**[19:14] ---**
should learn to compromise.
**[19:19] Hiwa**
Learn to compromise...
**[19:23] Mako**
But our herald always says
**[19:25] ---**
that people should just
run into each other.
**[19:30] Hiwa**
Herald?
**[19:32] Mako**
A herald is a messenger of the gods.
**[19:33] Mako**
Ours is a fox spirit.
**[19:35] Mako**
I wouldn't worry too much about it.
**[19:37] Mako**
Oh, Dad?
**[19:39] Mako**
Can they stay here tonight?
**[19:41] Tatsuo**
Sure, that's fine.
**[19:43] Yumi**
Thanks, Mr. Saeki!
**[19:45] Hiwa**
Thank you for your hospitality.
**[19:47] Tatsuo**
No need for that.
We're glad to have you.
**[19:48] Tatsuo**
Go ahead and make yourself at home.
**[19:50] Yumi**
Okay!
**[19:51] Hiwa**
Are you going to take over
this shrine, Saeki-san?
**[20:01] Mako**
I'm not sure yet.
**[20:02] Mako**
Are you going to take over your
family's tea ceremony school?
**[20:06] Hiwa**
I don't know.
**[20:08] Hiwa**
To be honest, I'm not sure
what I want to do.
**[20:13] Mako**
Shrines are magical places.
**[20:16] Mako**
They bring all kinds
of people together.
**[20:20] Yumi**
Together?
**[20:21] Mako**
Uh-huh.
**[20:22] Mako**
This shrine has brought three
different people together.
**[20:26] Mako**
I don't want to lose that magic.
**[20:33] Yumi**
You know, I want to become a vet,
**[20:38] Yumi**
but it's impossible with my grades,
**[20:40] Yumi**
so I'm exploring my other options.
**[20:42] Mako**
Huh? You're giving up?
**[20:45] Yumi**
They say that you should find
something you want to do,
**[20:49] Yumi**
but there's no guarantee that you'll
actually achieve that dream.
**[20:53] Hiwa**
I can help you study.
**[20:57] Yumi**
For real?
**[20:59] Yumi**
You're pretty nice.
**[21:00] Hiwa**
Oh? That means you thought
I was a bad person.
**[21:04] Yumi**
You're gonna hold that against me, huh?
**[21:06] Hiwa**
I wouldn't say that.
**[21:08] Yumi**
I can already see where this is going.
**[21:09] Hiwa**
That's not true.
**[21:09] Gin**
Oh, does that look on your face tell
me that everything's resolved?
**[21:13] Mako**
Uh-huh.
**[21:16] Gin**
Don't you wish you were
born to a family
**[21:19] ---**
where you could do
whatever you wanted?
**[21:21] Mako**
I can see you.
**[21:23] Mako**
What more could I ask for?
**[21:31] Gin**
I took a quick peek.
**[21:33] Gin**
It looks like the three of you
will be together for a long time.
**[21:37] Gin**
Not that you would care about how
compatible you are with girls.
**[21:43] Mako**
Gintaro.
**[21:45] Gin**
What is it?
**[21:46] Mako**
Thanks.
**[21:48] Mako**
I love you.
**[21:50] Yumi**
Did you say something?
**[21:52] Mako**
Nope.
**[21:53] Gin**
Bah, she got me.
**[21:58] Mako**
After ringing the bell,
you pay your respects twice
**[22:07] Mako**
clap twice,
**[22:13] Mako**
and pay your respects one more time.
**[22:17] Mako**
Hey, I can actually see our fox spirit.
**[22:20] Yumi**
Whoa, this girl's got
a few screws loose.
**[22:24] Hiwa**
I believe you.
**[22:26] Yumi**
What?! What's wrong with you?
**[22:29] Hiwa**
I mean, I could totally
see one living here.

**[00:02] (Flashback) Gin**
Hey, Kinjiro. You serious about this?
**[00:05] (Flashback) Kin**
Yeah, you can't stop me.
**[00:07] (Flashback) Gin**
Well, I didn't plan to stop you.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Gin**
Where will you go?
**[00:12] (Flashback) Kin**
No idea. I haven't planned ahead.
**[00:16] (Flashback) Kin**
I am powerless to help
**[00:18] (Flashback) ---**
the people who come here with
their wishes and concerns.
**[00:21] (Flashback) Kin**
And after decades and centuries
of watching as time passes,
**[00:27] (Flashback) ---**
I've grown tired.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Gin**
You need to take it easy.
**[00:33] (Flashback) Gin**
Let those humans say
whatever they want.
**[00:36] (Flashback) Gin**
They don't believe in the gods,
**[00:38] (Flashback) Gin**
and they can't see us.
**[00:39] (Flashback) Kin**
You're wrong.
**[00:41] (Flashback) Kin**
It's easier for them to
be honest when speaking
**[00:43] (Flashback) ---**
to someone they can't see.
**[00:45] (Flashback) Gin**
Man, I'm guessing you've grown attached
after watching humans so long,
**[00:50] (Flashback) Gin**
but there's not much point in
wasting your time on humans.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Kin**
That's not how you truly feel, Gintaro.

***SIGN*** The Place Where the Gods Are
**[02:42] Hiwa**
I've been thinking...
**[02:44] Yumi**
About what?
**[02:50] Hiwa**
Why are you here?
**[02:51] Yumi**
Am I not supposed to be?
**[02:54] Mako**
Now, now, now...
**[02:56] Mako**
Oh, hey, Funabashi-san.
**[02:58] Mako**
Did you get in trouble
for staying at my place?
**[03:01] Hiwa**
No, nothing happened.
**[03:03] Hiwa**
I haven't talked to my
mother since though.
**[03:07] Hiwa**
There's nothing for you to worry about.
**[03:10] Hiwa**
It wasn't your fault
**[03:11] Hiwa**
and I feel much better now.
**[03:13] Yumi**
Yeah, go wild.
**[03:16] Hiwa**
Oh, back to what I was saying.
**[03:20] Mako**
This is...
**[03:22] Hiwa**
This is a map of modern Shinto City.
**[03:24] Hiwa**
This is a map of Shinto
City in the Edo period.
**[03:27] Yumi**
And?
**[03:28] Hiwa**
You can see that there
are castles, shrines,
**[03:31] ---**
and temples which have survived.
**[03:35] Hiwa**
Including Saeki's home.
**[03:37] Mako**
Uh huh. Our shrine's been around since
the beginning of the Edo period.
**[03:40] Hiwa**
When I visited your home,
it made me think:
**[03:43] Hiwa**
We all go to the same school and spend
**[03:46] ---**
most of our time together right now,
**[03:48] Hiwa**
but once we graduate,
we'll go our separate ways.
**[03:53] Hiwa**
Yet, there are some
things in our lives that
**[03:57] ---**
haven't changed in hundreds
and thousands of years.
**[04:01] Hiwa**
Isn't that fascinating?
**[04:05] Mako**
That's an interesting
way to look at it.
**[04:08] Yumi**
Huh? Really?
**[04:09] Mako**
Our shrine started off as a small
altar surrounded by farms.
**[04:15] Mako**
Every year, they would use the
glowing lights of fox spirits
**[04:19] ---**
to divine how the upcoming
year's harvest would fare.
**[04:21] Mako**
That was how it all began.
**[04:24] Mako**
In the Edo period,
a feudal lord built the shrine
**[04:27] ---**
that's there now
to increase the benefit.
**[04:32] Hiwa**
Inari is the god of agriculture.
**[04:35] Hiwa**
That's a fascinating story.
**[04:37] Mako**
That's right...
**[04:39] Mako**
A lot of people have
**[04:40] ---**
made contributions to
keeping our shrine alive.
**[04:44] Hiwa**
The tradition continues today.
**[04:45] Yumi**
But castles and shrines aren't going to
**[04:48] ---**
remember the people
who used to be around.
**[04:51] Mako**
Now, now, now...
**[04:53] Mori**
Ishii, when did they get so friendly?
**[04:58] Ishii**
The rumors about Funabashi
and the student council president
**[05:02] ---**
have fizzled out, too.
**[05:03] Mori**
We totally embarrassed ourselves.
**[05:11] Mako**
Funabashi-san has interesting hobbies.
**[05:23] Mako**
Gin! Gintaro!
**[05:26] Mako**
Look! A turtle!
**[05:30] Mako**
It was heavy.
**[05:32] Mako**
I found it at the bottom of the stairs.
**[05:35] Mako**
It wasn't moving,
so I brought it with me.
**[05:37] Mako**
Say, is Dad around?
**[05:40] Gin**
Uh, Makoto?
**[05:41] Tatsu**
Oh. Welcome home, Makoto!
**[05:44] Mako**
Look, Dad!
**[05:46] Mako**
I found a turtle on the way home.
**[05:49] Mako**
Did it get lost?
**[05:50] Tatsu**
A turtle?
**[05:52] Tatsu**
Where is it?
**[05:53] Mako**
Where is it?
**[05:55] Mako**
Right here...
**[05:59] Gin**
Fool, that's a herald.
**[06:02] Mako**
What?!
**[06:04] Gin**
Seriously...
**[06:05] Gin**
You can't distinguish a herald
from a normal turtle?
**[06:08] Gin**
That's sad...
**[06:10] Mako**
Well, this is only the second
herald I've ever met!
**[06:16] Gin**
Hey, wake up.
**[06:20] Mako**
Oh, he woke up.
**[06:26] Mako**
Wow, there are all kinds
of different heralds.
**[06:29] Gin**
Of course.
**[06:31] Gin**
Lion-dogs are the most common,
**[06:33] Gin**
since they're considered
sacred animals.
**[06:36] Turtle**
This is the first time I've
ever spoken to a human.
**[06:42] Mako**
You didn't come from another shrine?
**[06:44] Turtle**
P-Pardon me...
**[06:47] Turtle**
Could I trouble you for some water?
**[06:51] Mako**
Oh, sure!
**[06:59] Turtle**
That hits the spot!
**[07:02] Mako**
So why were you lying on the road?
**[07:05] Turtle**
You see...
**[07:11] Turtle**
I lived in the small shrine by
the lake beyond the mountains.
**[07:18] Turtle**
But as time passed, our shrine
**[07:22] ---**
was forgotten and began to fall apart.
**[07:27] Turtle**
Then, they tore up the lake
and shrine to build new roads.
**[07:35] Turtle**
I had no choice but to set off
on a journey to find a new home.
**[07:40] Turtle**
After a long and grueling trip,
I was utterly exhausted.
**[07:46] Mako**
The lake he's talking about
is just over in the next town.
**[07:50] Gin**
Well, he's just a turtle.
**[07:51] Turtle**
Now that I have nowhere to go,
**[07:54] Turtle**
perhaps I should curse the
humans who did this to me!
**[08:00] Turtle**
The thought crossed my mind,
**[08:03] Turtle**
but I don't have that kind
of power, so I gave up.
**[08:07] Turtle**
Plus, it would require effort.
**[08:10] Gin**
Yeah, a wise decision.
**[08:13] Turtle**
Besides, the shrine was built for
protection from drought and floods,
**[08:20] Turtle**
but now they say it's dangerous
because kids will fall in the lake
**[08:20] Gin**
Well, at least he's
recovering sacred energy
**[08:23] ---**
while on the shrine grounds.
**[08:25] Mako**
Sacred energy?
**[08:25] Turtle**
and the new road will make
life easier for everybody.
**[08:26] Gin**
If a herald leaves his shrine
for an extended period of time,
**[08:29] ---**
he'll lose his power.
**[08:31] Mako**
Oh...
**[08:31] Turtle**
Then you shouldn't have built
the shrine in the first place!
**[08:32] Gin**
Well, we'll have to ask
him to leave soon.
**[08:35] Mako**
Why?!
**[08:37] Gin**
This is an Inari shrine.
**[08:38] Turtle**
When did humans turn into
ungrateful monsters?
**[08:39] Gin**
He's a herald for a different god.
**[08:41] Gin**
He won't be able to make
a full recovery here.
**[08:46] Turtle**
And dogs kept barking at me...
**[08:49] Turtle**
Are you listening to me?
**[08:52] Tatsu**
Oh, a turtle herald?
**[08:55] Tatsu**
That's amazing.
**[08:56] Tatsu**
Is he over there?
**[08:58] Turtle**
E-Er, who is this?
**[09:01] Mako**
Oh, this is my dad.
**[09:03] Mako**
He's the chief priest here.
**[09:05] Turtle**
I appreciate the hospitalit—
**[09:07] Tatsu**
A turtle, huh?
**[09:09] Tatsu**
I used to see a lot of turtles
around when I was a child.
**[09:12] Tatsu**
You'd find them on roads near rivers.
**[09:16] Tatsu**
Whenever a car hit one, the shell
would explode like fireworks.
**[09:23] Mako**
D-Dad!
**[09:25] Mako**
Anyway, are there any shrines
nearby with turtle heralds?
**[09:29] Tatsu**
I believe that turtles would be found
**[09:31] ---**
at branches of the Matsunoo
Grand Shrine in Kyoto, yes?
**[09:36] Tatsu**
If you go past the station,
**[09:39] ---**
I believe you'll find Shoubai
Grand Shrine which has a
**[09:41] ---**
Matsunoo altar in the back.
**[09:43] Gin**
Oh, that's the place
with the lion-dogs.
**[09:46] Mako**
You know where it is, Gin?
**[09:48] Gin**
I happened to be in the vicinity.
**[09:50] Mako**
Is it okay if we take you to a small
altar instead of a full shrine?
**[09:54] Mako**
I believe they have a lake there.
**[09:58] Mako**
Okay! Let's get going then!
**[10:03] Gin**
It'll have to wait until tomorrow.
**[10:06] Turtle**
The pain...
**[10:08] Mako**
Um, are you okay, Mr. Turtle?
**[10:15] Mako**
Is this better?
**[10:17] Turtle**
Yes, it feels wonderful.
**[10:22] Gin**
Seriously, this is one
high maintenance turtle.
**[10:25] Turtle**
O-Oh, I've been wondering...
**[10:30] Turtle**
Where is your partner?
**[10:34] Mako**
His name is Kinjiro, right?
**[10:36] Mako**
You said he left a long time ago?
**[10:39] Turtle**
I-Is that so...
**[10:43] Mako**
Gin, aren't you lonely
without Kinjiro around?
**[10:48] Gin**
Not really.
**[10:50] Gin**
Feels like it was just
yesterday that he left.
**[10:54] Gin**
I guess it's been a pretty long time.
**[10:57] Gin**
I completely forgot.
**[10:59] Turtle**
I understand what you mean.
**[11:01] Turtle**
When you live this long,
your memory starts to go.
**[11:05] Turtle**
I can't even remember what the
weather was like yesterday.
**[11:10] Mako**
Um, I don't think that's
quite the same...
**[11:12] Tatsu**
Hey, Makoto!
**[11:14] Tatsu**
The bath's ready for you!
**[11:17] Mako**
Okay!
**[11:19] Mako**
Well... Good night, Mr. Turtle.
**[11:22] Turtle**
Yes.

I have to come with you?
**[11:32] Mako**
He's pretty heavy.
**[11:35] Mako**
Come on. You can think of it as a date.
**[11:41] Turtle**
S-Sorry about this.
**[11:44] Gin**
Then get off.
**[11:46] Mako**
Okay, let's go!
**[11:50] Gin**
Man, dates are a pain.
**[11:53] Gin**
The castle's still around?
**[11:57] Mako**
Any fond memories?
**[11:58] Gin**
No.
**[11:59] Mako**
I'm starting to understand what
Funabashi-san meant, though.
**[12:04] Mako**
Some things in our
lives have been there
**[12:07] ---**
for hundreds and thousands of years.
**[12:11] Gin**
Does it matter?
**[12:12] Gin**
A castle won't remember anything.
**[12:15] Mako**
*That's what Yumi-chan said.*
**[12:18] Yumi**
Come on, kitty. Over here.
**[12:21] Sho**
Hey, aren't we supposed
to be catching a movie?!
**[12:25] Yumi**
Hey! You made it run away!
**[12:28] Sho**
You got plenty of petting time
before we left my place.
**[12:31] Sho**
Isn't that fugly cat
good enough for you?
**[12:35] Yumi**
You better not be giving
Mi-chan a hard time.
**[12:39] Sho**
Why would I do that?!
**[12:41] Sho**
Listen to this!
**[12:42] Sho**
The other day, she came in my
room and peed on my guitar!
**[12:47] Yumi**
I don't see a problem.
**[12:48] ---**
You barely use it and never
follow through with anything.
**[12:51] Sho**
What's that?!
**[12:51] Mako**
I'm sure you'll like the shrine.
**[12:53] Mako**
I hope the lake is clean.
**[12:55] Mako**
Oh, we'll come visit you
once you've settled in.
**[12:57] Yumi**
Saeki!
**[13:01] Mako**
Yumi-chan?
**[13:04] Yumi**
Where are you headed?
**[13:05] Mako**
I need to go to Shoubai Grand Shrine.
**[13:09] Yumi**
Oh, there's a flea market
there right now!
**[13:11] Yumi**
I'll come with you!
**[13:12] Mako**
Huh?
**[13:13] Mako**
But...
**[13:16] Mako**
What about your boyfriend?
**[13:17] Mako**
Um, Shouhei-kun?
**[13:20] Yumi**
Don't worry about him.
**[13:22] Yumi**
I'm sure you don't want to go alone!
**[13:30] Mako**
Wow! It's so big!
**[13:33] Yumi**
Wait, you haven't been here before?
**[13:35] Mako**
I have, but it was when I was little...
**[13:37] Yumi**
Right, you live in a shrine.
**[13:40] Mako**
There are a lot of priests around.
**[13:43] Yumi**
Wow, what a hottie!
**[13:49] Mako**
Can he see you, Gin?
**[13:52] Gin**
A true successor would
be able to see me.
**[13:55] Gin**
Anyway, let's get this over with.
**[13:58] ---**
Right...
**[14:00] Mako**
Yumi-chan, I have some
business to take care of,
**[14:02] ---**
so you can browse through
the flea market.
**[14:03] Yumi**
What's this? Something's up?
**[14:06] Yumi**
Are you hiding something from me?
**[14:08] Mako**
I-I'm not hiding anything!
**[14:12] Gin**
Mind your manners.
**[14:15] Gin**
Those monsters are over
a thousand years old.
**[14:19] Mako**
R-Right...
**[14:22] Gin**
There we go.
**[14:25] Mako**
Um, Gin?
**[14:26] Gin**
What's got you so worried?
**[14:28] Mako**
You told me to mind my manners.
**[14:31] Gin**
Hey! Are you geezers around?
**[14:35] Gin**
Hello?
**[14:37] Sai**
Who's there?
**[14:42] Uta**
Keep it down.
**[14:50] Mako**
Lion-dogs!
**[14:51] Gin**
Good grief. Guess you're home.
**[14:54] Sai**
Oh, you're back again.
**[14:57] Gin**
Yo.
**[14:57] Uta**
Did you get in another
fight with your priest?
**[15:01] Gin**
I'm here for a different reason today.
**[15:03] Sai**
Has it been three days since
we last spoke, Righty?
**[15:07] Uta**
It's been seven days, Lefty.
**[15:10] Sai**
Really... Seven days...
**[15:13] Both**
Oof.
**[15:18] Gin**
Don't fall asleep!
**[15:19] ---**
Oh, my...
**[15:21] Sai**
Oh, you are a priest?
**[15:24] Uta**
This young girl is a priest?
**[15:29] Mako**
Um, I'm not a priest yet...
**[15:32] Sai**
It can't be easy to possess the
Sight at such a young age.
**[15:38] Sai**
Plus, you're stuck with
this fool of a fox.
**[15:41] Gin**
Who are you calling a fool?
**[15:42] Turtle**
E-Excuse me...
**[15:45] Sai**
Oh?
**[15:46] Turtle**
I-I have a request to make.
**[15:50] Mako**
Can you please help us?
**[15:54] Mako**
Can you please let this turtle
stay at the altar here?
**[16:04] Gin**
Seriously, stop falling asleep.
**[16:07] Both**
We don't see a problem with that.
**[16:11] Sai**
Make yourself at home.
**[16:13] Uta**
There's plenty of room.
**[16:18] Mako**
Thank you very much!
**[16:20] Mako**
Isn't that great, Mr. Turtle?
**[16:22] Turtle**
Ow... I can't breathe...
**[16:36] Gin**
How is it?
**[16:37] Turtle**
Yes, the altar is nearby
and there's a lake.
**[16:42] Turtle**
It doesn't get any better.
**[16:44] Turtle**
You're the ones
who made it possible.
**[16:47] Mako**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[16:49] Turtle**
I've recovered enough energy that
I'm able to talk faster now.
**[16:55] Gin**
I don't see any change.
**[16:57] Turtle**
Ah...
**[16:59] Mako**
Well, I'll go look for Yumi-chan.
**[17:02] ---**
Sure.
**[17:03] Uta**
Little girl! Little girl!
**[17:07] Mako**
Righty and Lefty!
**[17:09] Mako**
The turtle is thrilled
about his new home.
**[17:11] Mako**
Thank you very much!
**[17:13] Sai**
That's good to hear,
**[17:15] Sai**
but could you stop calling
us Righty and Lefty?
**[17:19] Sai**
Those are nicknames we
use for each other.
**[17:22] Mako**
Huh?
**[17:23] Sai**
My actual name is Saimaru.
**[17:27] Uta**
I'm Utamaru.
**[17:28] Mako**
Saimaru-san and Utamaru-san.
**[17:31] Mako**
Those are cool names!
**[17:33] Mako**
You sound like traditional
comical storytellers.
**[17:34] Mako**
Are you twins?
**[17:35] Sai**
No, I'm slightly older.
**[17:39] Sai**
In most cases,
we're born without names.
**[17:44] Sai**
So I'm the one who named him.
**[17:47] Sai**
See the silly look on his face?
**[17:52] Mako**
Yep, it's cute!
**[17:54] Sai**
You think he's cute?
**[17:56] Sai**
That's not very respectful.
**[17:58] Uta**
I'm starting to see why you
and that fox had a spat.
**[18:02] Mako**
Huh?
**[18:02] Mako**
Er.
**[18:03] Mako**
I-I'm sorry!
**[18:05] Uta**
Oh, don't worry about it.
**[18:08] Uta**
It's been a long time since we
had a chance to talk to a human.
**[18:12] Uta**
Thank you, little girl.
**[18:14] Mako**
O-Oh...
**[18:16] Mako**
I should thank you for
welcoming the turtle.
**[18:18] Mako**
Er, wait...
**[18:20] Mako**
The turtle spirit...
**[18:22] Sai**
No need to thank us.
**[18:24] Sai**
My partner's the only person
I've had to talk to,
**[18:26] ---**
so it'll be more fun
with a new resident.
**[18:30] Uta**
When we were young, there were
more humans who could see us,
**[18:35] Uta**
but there aren't many these days.
**[18:37] Uta**
It's very rare to see
a young one like you.
**[18:42] Mako**
What about the chief priest here?
**[18:44] Uta**
The chief priest is a true successor,
**[18:48] Uta**
but his predecessor is still
alive, so he can't see us.
**[18:53] Sai**
The prior chief priest has grown
old and gone into retirement.
**[18:57] Sai**
He's very weak now.
**[18:59] Uta**
I didn't want to see
that happen to him.
**[19:03] Mako**
Oh...
**[19:04] Sai**
It may be hard for a young
person like you to understand,
**[19:09] Sai**
but when you live as long as we
have, time flies by in a blink.
**[19:15] Uta**
The lifespan of a human is
very brief in our eyes.
**[19:20] Uta**
We meet a priest one day and
he dies before we even know it.
**[19:25] Sai**
We've experienced many
farewells over the centuries.
**[19:31] Uta**
And as time goes on,
**[19:34] ---**
we can no longer remember the faces
of the priests we were intimate with.
**[19:39] Uta**
It's rather sad.
**[19:44] Sai**
That fox may not want to admit it,
**[19:48] Sai**
but he's enjoying his time with you.
**[19:54] (Flashback) Mako**
Gin, aren't you lonely
without Kinjiro around?
**[19:59] (Flashback) Gin**
Not really.
**[20:01] (Flashback) Gin**
Feels like it was just
yesterday that he left.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Gin**
I guess it's been a pretty long time.
**[20:08] (Flashback) Gin**
I completely forgot.
**[20:11] Gin**
Hey!
**[20:12] Gin**
That's enough out of you guys.
**[20:15] Both**
Oops!
**[20:18] Gin**
Seriously, don't get carried away
because you have a young girl to talk to.
**[20:23] Sai**
My apologies.
**[20:24] Uta**
Foxes have sharp ears.
**[20:29] Gin**
Let's go, Makoto.
**[20:31] Mako**
'Kay.
**[20:32] Sai**
Goodbye, Makoto-chan.
**[20:35] Uta**
Come visit us again.
**[20:37] Mako**
Uh huh, I'll be back!
**[20:39] Mako**
Bye!
**[21:03] Gin**
Fool.
**[21:05] Gin**
Don't believe what
those lion-dogs said.
**[21:11] Gin**
That hurts.
**[21:14] Mako**
I'm going to die before you do.
**[21:19] Gin**
Yeah, that's expected.
**[21:21] Mako**
You must have ice in your veins,
**[21:24] Mako**
since you'll forget
about me in no time!
**[21:30] Gin**
I couldn't forget about
a stupid girl like you,
**[21:37] Gin**
even if I wanted to.
**[21:58] Yumi**
There you are!
***SIGN*** Shoubai Grand Shrine
**[22:03] Yumi**
Jeez, where did you go?
**[22:06] Mako**
Sorry.
**[22:07] Yumi**
Anyway, I found a place
with cute cat accessories!
**[22:10] Sho**
More cat stuff?
**[22:11] Yumi**
Shut up!
**[22:12] Yumi**
This way!
**[22:20] Mako**
Gin.
**[22:21] Mako**
Let's go! Our date's not over!
**[22:25] Gin**
Hold on!
**[22:26] Mako**
This way!
**[22:32] Gin**
Yeah, dates are a pain.

**[00:20] Oto**
Are you really leaving?
**[00:22] Satoru**
Yes, Otomatsu-sama.
**[00:27] Satoru**
Tahara-sensei helped
me find this place.
**[00:30] Satoru**
It's a shrine run by
someone trustworthy.
**[00:32] Oto**
I see...
**[00:33] Oto**
It'll be lonely without you around.
**[00:36] Oto**
There will be many a tear shed.
**[00:39] Satoru**
This is the only way.
**[00:44] Satoru**
There's nothing else...
**[00:47] ---**
I can do.

**[02:35] Mako**
Huh?!
**[02:39] Mako**
Wh-What did you just say?
**[02:41] Tatsuo**
I thought I mentioned this before.
**[02:44] Tatsuo**
We'll be welcoming someone
to our family next week.
**[02:49] Mako**
Wh-When did that happen?!
**[02:50] Mako**
I didn't hear anything about it!
**[02:51] Mako**
What's going on?!
**[02:53] Tatsuo**
Well, now you know.
**[02:57] Mako**
That doesn't make it okay!
**[02:59] Mako**
I can't believe you decided something
so important without talking to me.
**[03:04] Mako**
I refuse to call her "Mom"!
**[03:08] Tatsuo**
Huh?
**[03:13] Mako**
Wh-What's so funny?
**[03:15] Tatsuo**
You've got it all wrong.
**[03:17] Tatsuo**
Honestly, Makoto...
It's not what you think.
**[03:20] Mako**
Huh?
**[03:22] Mako**
A child from another shrine
will be staying with us?
**[03:25] Tatsuo**
Yes, my former teacher
asked me to do this.
**[03:29] Tatsuo**
I only wish there was someone
interested in me that way.
**[03:34] Tatsuo**
From what I hear,
we have a kendo expert
**[03:36] Tatsuo**
who will also be transferring
to your school.
**[03:40] Tatsuo**
Yes, isn't your school
a kendo powerhouse?
**[03:45] Mako**
Kendo...
**[03:47] Mako**
I think our school does
well in tournaments.
**[03:52] Tatsuo**
That's why your school
is a perfect match,
**[03:56] Tatsuo**
and our shrine can provide housing.
**[03:59] Mako**
Oh...
**[04:00] Mako**
Wait! That still doesn't make it okay!
**[04:02] Tatsuo**
Hmm? I don't see a problem.
**[04:04] Tatsuo**
We have rooms that aren't being used.
**[04:07] Mako**
Do you have a name?
**[04:08] Mako**
Is this someone I've met before?
**[04:11] Tatsuo**
Kamio Satoru-kun.
**[04:14] Mako**
A boy?!
**[04:16] Mako**
Wait! You have a young
girl living here!
**[04:21] Mako**
I'm not sure I could handle living
with a girl I don't know!
**[04:24] Mako**
A boy is out of the question!
**[04:27] Tatsuo**
You're overreacting.
**[04:29] Mako**
And you didn't get permission from Gin!
**[04:33] Tatsuo**
I'm sure he approves,
since he's a herald.
**[04:38] Tatsuo**
Oh, Gintaro-sama is also a boy.
**[04:43] Mako**
What? Other people can't see Gin!
**[04:47] Mako**
Er, that's not my point!
**[04:50] Mako**
Honestly, you're too
relaxed about this, Dad!
**[04:53] Tatsuo**
What?
**[05:05] T**
Who's on duty?
**[05:07] T**
Saeki?
**[05:08] T**
Can you take these back?
**[05:10] Mako**
Yes.
**[05:15] Mako**
*He's supposed to arrive today.*
**[05:17] Mako**
*This sucks.*
**[05:23] Hiwa**
Let me give you a hand.
**[05:24] Hiwa**
That's too much for
one person to carry.
**[05:28] Mako**
Uh-huh.
***SIGN*** Reference Room
**[05:32] Mako**
Thanks for your help, Funabashi-san.
**[05:35] Hiwa**
Don't worry about it.
By the way...
**[05:38] Hiwa**
I saw you sighing.
Is something wrong?
**[05:42] Mako**
Um, I have a little family issue.
**[05:46] Hiwa**
Oh, dear.
**[05:57] Mako**
Huh?
**[05:58] Hiwa**
What's wrong?
**[05:59] Mako**
Oh, it's nothing...
**[06:06] Yumi**
Saeki! Funabashi!
**[06:10] Yumi**
I was looking for you guys.
**[06:12] Hiwa**
Ikegami-san...
**[06:13] Yumi**
We're getting a transfer
student next week!
**[06:16] Yumi**
And it's a boy!
**[06:20] Mako**
Yeah...
**[06:21] Yumi**
What? How come you already knew?
**[06:23] Yumi**
I just found out from our teacher.
**[06:26] Mako**
Ah...
**[06:27] Yumi**
Did you use your fortune telling again?
**[06:30] Mako**
N-No, I didn't.
**[06:33] Yumi**
So is he hot? Handsome?
**[06:36] Yumi**
How tall is he? How's his hair?
**[06:38] Yumi**
Tell me everything!
**[06:38] Hiwa**
Honestly...
**[06:39] Hiwa**
Is that all you ever care about?
**[06:41] Yumi**
What's wrong with that?
**[06:42] Yumi**
It's what matters the most!
**[06:44] Yumi**
Now spill it all, Saeki!
**[07:00] Gin**
I'm hungry...
**[07:23] Mako**
Gintaro!
**[07:25] Mako**
Is that boy here yet?!
**[07:41] Satoru**
I've never seen such a
large fox spirit before.
**[07:47] Mako**
You can see him?
**[07:50] Gin**
Hey, there.
**[07:52] Gin**
You brought another fox with you.
**[08:05] Haru**
The shrine is adequate,
but it's on the small side.
**[08:09] Satoru**
Haru.
**[08:10] Haru**
Satoru!
**[08:18] Haru**
Can't blame me...
**[08:21] Satoru**
Come down here for now.
**[08:23] Haru**
Fine.
**[08:28] Satoru**
Do you live here?
**[08:31] Mako**
Uh, yeah.
**[08:32] Mako**
U-Um...
**[08:33] Satoru**
Excuse me. Where is your partner?
**[08:36] Gin**
He's gone.
**[08:38] Satoru**
Is that so...
**[08:45] Mako**
Was that you?
**[08:49] Mako**
You're adorable!
**[08:55] Haru**
Hey, girl!
**[08:58] Haru**
Don't you know how to
show some respect?!
**[09:01] Haru**
Satoru, this place is no good.
**[09:03] Haru**
This girl has the Sight yet
she talks down to heralds!
**[09:09] Haru**
And she's standing in
the center of the path!
**[09:13] Haru**
She wasn't trained properly.
**[09:16] Gin**
You make a lot of noise, brat.
**[09:20] Gin**
None of that stuff matters.
**[09:23] Haru**
It does!
**[09:24] Satoru**
Haru!
**[09:27] Haru**
But...
**[09:29] Tatsuo**
Hey, Makoto! You're home...
**[09:35] Tatsuo**
You must have had a
long trip, Satoru-kun.
**[09:38] Satoru**
Yes.
**[09:49] Satoru**
My name is Kamio Satoru.
**[09:52] Satoru**
Thank you for your hospitality.
**[09:53] Tatsuo**
Oh, no need to be so formal.
**[09:57] Tatsuo**
I'm sorry that you're stuck
with this small room.
**[10:03] Tatsuo**
Let me know if there's
anything you need.
**[10:06] Satoru**
No need for any concern.
**[10:08] Satoru**
I don't plan on staying long.
**[10:10] Both**
Huh?
**[10:11] Satoru**
Please let me stay here for one week
while I look for a place to live.
**[10:16] Satoru**
I can pay for food.
**[10:19] Tatsuo**
H-Hold on...
**[10:21] Tatsuo**
Your guardians already sent me money.
**[10:25] Tatsuo**
Plus, I was told that you would be
staying here until you graduated.
**[10:31] Satoru**
I have the money my parents left
me and what little I've saved up.
**[10:37] Satoru**
I'll get a job to if that's not enough.
**[10:38] Tatsuo**
But you'll need an adult's
signature to rent a place...
**[10:43] Tatsuo**
And there are other issues...
**[10:45] Gin**
Makoto, talk to him.
**[10:49] Mako**
Can you go away, Dad.
**[10:51] Mako**
We need to talk alone.
**[10:53] Tatsuo**
Huh?
**[10:56] Mako**
Hurry up.
**[10:58] Tatsuo**
What's this?
**[10:59] Tatsuo**
When did you get so close?
**[11:02] Tatsuo**
Then I'll let you enjoy
each other's company...
**[11:04] Mako**
Just go!
**[11:10] Satoru**
The chief priest here can't see heralds.
**[11:12] Satoru**
Neither could ours.
**[11:13] Mako**
Yep, Dad married into the family.
**[11:17] Mako**
But he knows about Gin.
**[11:20] Satoru**
I see. So you were the one
who inherited the Sight.
**[11:23] Satoru**
It's unusual for someone so
young to have the Sight.
**[11:27] Gin**
You're just as young as she is.
**[11:32] Haru**
Satoru, it's hopeless.
**[11:36] Haru**
She has no idea what the Sight is for.
**[11:40] Haru**
The fox here has no
idea what he's doing.
**[11:44] Satoru**
Haru!
**[11:47] Mako**
So why are you looking for
another place to stay?
**[11:51] Mako**
Is it because of your herald?
**[12:03] Satoru**
I have a request to make.
**[12:06] Satoru**
Please let Haru stay here.
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
**[12:31] Satoru**
Please.
**[12:34] Satoru**
I have the Sight, but I won't be taking
over our shrine for various reasons.
**[12:40] Satoru**
However, Haru followed me when I left.
**[12:43] Satoru**
Fortunately, it appears that you
don't have a partner at the moment.
**[12:47] Satoru**
I promise that I will convince
Haru to go home eventually.
**[12:51] Haru**
No way! I'm never going back!
**[12:57] Haru**
I don't want to live in that
shrine if you're not there!
**[13:02] Haru**
I'm staying with you.
**[13:04] Satoru**
Can you please let Haru stay here?
**[13:08] Gin**
Why? That fox already has
a shrine to call home.
**[13:15] Gin**
What will happen to that shrine if
the priest with the Sight has left?
**[13:20] Satoru**
W-Well...
**[13:29] Gin**
Well, I'm not gonna ask
for an explanation,
**[13:33] Gin**
but I don't like it.
**[13:43] Mako**
A-Anyway, you should
just live here, then.
**[13:49] Mako**
You can be with Haru-chan that way.
**[13:56] Mako**
You don't want your guardians
to worry about you, right?
**[14:11] Mako**
Gintaro!
**[14:12] Gin**
You have no idea how bad it'll
be if I get stuck with that kid.
**[14:17] Mako**
You didn't have to be so mean about it.
**[14:20] Mako**
I'm sure they have their reasons.
**[14:22] Gin**
I doubt it's anything important.
**[14:27] Mako**
Honestly, you're so heartless.
**[14:29] Mako**
You're both heralds!
**[14:31] Gin**
Doesn't matter.
**[14:34] Mako**
Man...
**[14:37] Mako**
*This is getting weird.*
**[15:37] A**
* The Kamio Shrine priest's son*
* and wife died in an accident.*
**[15:41] B**
*The couple had a young son...*
**[15:45] (Flashback) G**
Satoru! Satoru!
**[15:49] (Flashback) Satoru**
Grandpa.
**[15:51] (Flashback) G**
Come here and we can play together.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Satoru**
Uh-huh!
**[15:57] (Flashback) A**
It must be hard for the chief priest.
**[15:59] (Flashback) B**
Yes, he's raising his
grandson by himself.
**[16:03] (Flashback) S**
Father, it's too difficult for you to
run a shrine this big by yourself!
**[16:09] (Flashback) S**
You should retire and let us handle it.
**[16:11] (Flashback) Gran**
Quiet! Why are you
bringing this up again?
**[16:13] (Flashback) Gran**
That boy is my successor!
**[16:15] (Flashback) S**
Father!
**[16:25] (Flashback) S**
From now on,
Satoru-kun will live with us.
**[16:28] (Flashback) A**
What?
**[16:29] (Flashback) B**
That sucks.
**[16:31] (Flashback) S**
He has nowhere else to go.
**[16:33] (Flashback) S**
Your grandpa passed away.
**[16:40] (Flashback) B**
Clean up this mess.
**[16:59] (Flashback) S**
Satoru-kun!
**[17:01] (Flashback) S**
Why are you still practicing?
**[17:03] (Flashback) S**
Honestly, you're free to
dedicate yourself to kendo,
**[17:07] (Flashback) S**
but try not to make any trouble for us.
**[17:11] A**
*Satoru!*
**[17:13] B**
*You really annoy me.*
**[17:16] S**
* Satoru-kun! Don't do anything*
* without our permission!*
**[17:20] S**
*We are your guardians now!*
**[18:03] Mako**
I overslept!
**[18:07] Mako**
Sorry, Satoru-kun.
**[18:09] Mako**
This is my job.
**[18:12] Satoru**
It's okay.
**[18:14] Mako**
Um, where's Dad?
**[18:16] Satoru**
He went out.
**[18:18] Mako**
Oh...
**[18:22] Mako**
*Where's Gin?*
**[18:29] Mako**
*Looks like he ran away.*
**[18:38] Mako**
Satoru-kun, have you done this side?
**[18:42] Satoru**
It's okay. I'll take care of it.
**[18:44] Satoru**
I'm already imposing by being here.
**[18:46] Mako**
But...
**[18:47] Satoru**
It's okay, really.
**[18:58] Haru**
You know...
**[18:59] Haru**
I bet you don't do a proper job
of sweeping every morning.
**[19:03] Mako**
Huh?
**[19:03] Haru**
That would explain why
there are so many leaves.
**[19:07] Haru**
And that big fox ran off.
**[19:10] Haru**
Seriously, something is
wrong with this shrine.
**[19:15] Mako**
*Just let it slide...*
**[19:17] Mako**
*He's a herald...*
**[19:19] Mako**
* And it's true that I haven't*
* been sweeping every day...*
**[19:22] Mako**
S-Sorry.
**[19:25] Satoru**
Haru.
**[19:29] Satoru**
Why won't you go home?
**[19:31] Haru**
B-Because...
**[19:34] Haru**
I'm worried about you.
**[19:38] Satoru**
I told you that I'll be fine.
**[19:42] Haru**
But...
**[19:46] Satoru**
Just go home.
**[19:48] Haru**
No! I don't wanna go back there!
**[19:51] ---**
U-Um...
**[19:53] Haru**
I'm staying with you!
**[19:55] Haru**
Go back!
**[19:58] Haru**
I'll be fine on my own!
**[20:08] Haru**
Satoru...
**[20:17] Haru**
Do you not want me around?
**[20:21] Haru**
Am I bothering you?
**[20:32] Satoru**
You are.
**[20:42] Mako**
Hold on!
**[20:44] Haru**
You need me...
**[20:48] Haru**
I need you!
**[20:52] Mako**
Haru-chan?!
**[21:02] Mako**
Hey! You shouldn't
yell at a little kid!
**[21:06] Mako**
Don't you need to follow Haru?!
**[21:09] Mako**
Satoru-kun?!
**[21:14] Satoru**
A little kid?
**[21:25] Satoru**
Haru's over eighty years old.
**[21:29] Satoru**
Haru's been around longer than
me and knows more than me.
**[21:34] Satoru**
Haru is the herald of our shrine.
**[21:37] Satoru**
That's why I have to send Haru back.
**[21:41] Mako**
Satoru-kun...
**[21:44] Mako**
But don't you want to be...
**[21:48] ---**
with Haru?
**[21:50] Satoru**
Just drop it!
**[21:51] Satoru**
It's none of your business!
**[21:53] Mako**
But...
**[21:56] Mako**
Gintaro!
**[21:58] Gin**
Man, looks like this is
going to be messy after all.
**[22:02] Mako**
Gin, what do we do?
**[22:06] Gin**
That kid may disappear if
you don't do something.
**[22:11] Gin**
Well, it's not my problem.
**[22:15] Mako**
Hey, you don't really
hate him, do you?
**[22:23] Mako**
Satoru-kun!

**[02:45] Mako**
Come on, hurry up!
**[02:49] Mako**
Gintaro, did Haru-chan come back?
**[02:52] Gin**
No, he didn't.
**[02:54] Mako**
See? What do we do now?
**[02:57] Satoru**
Let go of my arm.
**[02:59] Satoru**
I won't run away.
**[03:00] Mako**
Oh, sorry.
**[03:02] Mako**
Hey, you know that heralds will
disappear if they're away
**[03:06] ---**
from their shrine too long, right?
**[03:09] Gin**
I told you that kid would be trouble.
**[03:14] Gin**
He's clearly "in too
deep" for a herald.
**[03:20] Satoru**
I'm sorry.
**[03:21] Satoru**
I had a feeling this might happen.
**[03:24] Satoru**
Haru is a relatively young herald.
**[03:30] Satoru**
There's another herald at our shrine.
**[03:34] Satoru**
Haru should not have left him behind.
**[03:38] Gin**
That kid isn't the only one
who left someone behind.
**[03:41] Satoru**
W-Well...
**[03:44] Gin**
Don't you get tired
of being so uptight?
**[03:49] Gin**
You need to learn to take it easy.
**[03:53] Gin**
This girl's an heir to a shrine,
yet look at her.
**[03:56] Mako**
Wait, what?
**[03:58] Gin**
Heralds have their own minds.
**[04:00] Gin**
They do what they want.
**[04:02] Gin**
If they get sick of it
all, they'll leave.
**[04:08] Mako**
That's happened before...
**[04:10] Gin**
So if the kid wants out, let him go.
**[04:15] Gin**
Don't make the kid my responsibility.
**[04:21] Tatsuo**
Hey, there!
**[04:26] Tatsuo**
What? Another fox spirit?
**[04:29] Tatsuo**
And that's the only surprise?
**[04:31] Tatsuo**
You can really see them?
**[04:33] Tatsuo**
No wonder you kids hit it off so quick.
**[04:36] Tatsuo**
I see how it is.
**[04:38] Tatsuo**
I'm the only one who can't see them.
**[04:41] Tatsuo**
I feel so alone.
**[04:44] Mako**
Sorry about this.
**[04:46] Tatsuo**
I'm thrilled about the
new family member,
**[04:49] Tatsuo**
so why do the two of you
look like someone died?
**[04:55] Tatsuo**
Oh, is that what Gintaro-sama said?
**[04:59] Mako**
Yeah. Gin doesn't seem
to like Haru-chan.
**[05:03] Mako**
He doesn't want the responsibility.
**[05:05] Tatsuo**
Our doors are open.
**[05:08] Satoru**
No, I believe that I'm the one
Gintaro-sama is upset with.
**[05:15] Satoru**
In any case, I'll be sending Haru back.
**[05:18] Satoru**
I apologize for the
trouble I've caused.
**[05:21] Mako**
Can you stop doing that?!
**[05:23] Mako**
We need to worry
about finding Haru-chan
**[05:24] ---**
before talking about
sending anyone back!
**[05:26] Tatsuo**
Now, now, Makoto.
**[05:28] Tatsuo**
Sit down.
**[05:30] Tatsuo**
Your father and I went
to the same college.
**[05:33] Tatsuo**
I never got to meet him,
but we had the same teacher.
**[05:38] Satoru**
Tahara-sensei...
**[05:40] Tatsu**
Yes, I believe he was friends
with your grandfather.
**[05:44] Satoru**
Yes, he's been helping me out.
**[05:47] Tatsuo**
I recall that your family's shrine
**[05:49] ---**
has been around for
about 1,200 years, right?
**[05:53] Tatsuo**
Your aunt and uncle are
running it right now.
**[05:58] Tatsuo**
Ah. If you can see Haru-sama,
you must be the successor.
**[06:05] Mako**
When did you inherit the Sight?
**[06:07] Mako**
I was four.
**[06:08] Haru**
I was... five.
**[06:13] (Flashback) G**
Satoru,
**[06:16] (Flashback) ---**
this is an Inari shrine, which
means there are fox spirits around.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Satoru**
Where?
**[06:22] (Flashback) G**
You'll meet them soon.
**[06:25] (Flashback) G**
Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Sayaka**
Father...
**[06:36] (Flashback) Sayaka**
It's only been two years since
my brother's accident...
**[06:39] (Flashback) A**
He was pushing himself too hard.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Sayaka**
Satoru-kun, there's
nothing to worry about.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Sayaka**
We'll take care of everything.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Sayaka**
He has the same eyes as my brother
that I could never stand!
**[07:10] (Flashback) A**
Don't say that.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Sayaka**
Honestly, why did Father
have to leave a will?
**[07:15] (Flashback) Sayaka**
We're the ones managing the shrine.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Sayaka**
It only makes sense for one of our
children to inherit the shrine!
**[07:20] (Flashback) A**
Hey, Sayaka. You're too loud.
**[07:30] Tatsuo**
Satoru-kun.
**[07:33] Satoru**
Y-Yes.
**[07:34] Tatsuo**
I decided to take you in because
it was a request from my teacher.
**[07:40] Tatsuo**
However, you seem a little
too responsible for someone
**[07:43] ---**
the same age as Makoto.
**[07:45] Tatsuo**
It's rather unfortunate.
**[07:47] Tatsuo**
Yes, it's unfortunate.
**[07:52] Tatsuo**
If you'd like, you're free to
consider this shrine your new home.
**[07:59] Tatsuo**
Or something like that.
Sorry, I can be a bit meddlesome at times.
**[08:05] Tatsuo**
Now, don't you need to
go look for Haru-sama?
**[08:11] Mako**
But Gin said to leave Haru-chan alone.
**[08:15] Mako**
He doesn't want the responsibility.
**[08:21] Tatsuo**
You know how you always say that
Gintaro likes to be contrary?
**[08:26] Tatsuo**
That sounds exactly like
something he would say.
**[08:32] Mako**
Does he mean that they should
figure it out themselves?
**[08:38] Tatsuo**
Yes, I'm guessing that
Gintaro-sama's point is that
**[08:42] Tatsuo**
it comes down to whether Satoru-kun
wants to be with Haru-sama or not.
**[08:46] Tatsuo**
It's that simple.
**[08:49] Tatsuo**
Fortunately, our shrine
is also an Inari shrine,
**[08:52] Tatsuo**
so you have the option to
be together right now.
**[08:56] Tatsuo**
It hurts to be separated when
you most want to be together.
**[09:06] Mako**
W-Wait, Satoru-kun?!
**[09:10] (Flashback) Satoru**
I'm leaving.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Where are you going?
**[09:14] (Flashback) Haru**
Satoru, I'm coming with you!
**[09:17] (Flashback) Satoru**
You can't.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Haru**
I wanna be with you!
**[09:22] (Flashback) Satoru**
You are the fox spirit here.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Satoru**
You need to stay here in my place.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Satoru**
I'm not going to succeed the shrine.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Satoru**
I'll live on my own.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Haru**
Satoru...
**[09:35] Satoru**
I'm sorry, Haru!
**[09:38] Mako**
Hold on. You won't find Haru-chan
by running around by yourself.
**[09:41] Satoru**
This is all my fault!
**[09:43] Satoru**
I'll find Haru by myself!
**[09:45] Mako**
Let's ask Gin, then.
**[09:47] Mako**
Gintaro can divine where
people and objects are.
**[09:52] Mako**
Satoru-kun!
**[09:54] Gin**
Just leave them alone, you nosy idiot.
**[09:57] Mako**
What?!
**[09:58] Gin**
Like I said, heralds
have their own issues.
**[10:02] Gin**
Humans are no different, right?
**[10:05] Mako**
I guess...
**[10:07] Gin**
Then let them be.
**[10:10] Gin**
Besides, you should probably be
here when that kid comes back,
**[10:15] Gin**
since I'm staying out of this business.
**[10:20] Mako**
Huh?
**[10:23] Mako**
Wait, Gin!
**[10:25] Mako**
Come on, Gin!
**[10:27] Mako**
Jeez!
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
**[10:32] (Flashback) G**
Haru-sama! Haru-sama!
**[10:39] (Flashback) G**
Oh, you're outside.
**[10:42] (Flashback) G**
Have a look. My grandson just
left the hospital today.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Haru**
He's so small!
**[10:50] (Flashback) Haru**
It wasn't so long ago that
you were just as small.
**[10:54] (Flashback) G**
Please have mercy.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Haru**
So this is your grandson.
**[10:58] (Flashback) G**
We've named him Satoru.
**[11:01] (Flashback) G**
He will be the 77th successor.
**[11:03] (Flashback) Haru**
Satoru...
**[11:05] (Flashback) Haru**
Look, Togo! Satoru can see me!
**[11:08] (Flashback) G**
No, he can't see you yet.
**[11:11] (Flashback) Haru**
He's looking right at me!
**[11:14] (Flashback) Haru**
So you're Satoru...
**[11:18] (Flashback) Haru**
Satoru...
**[11:26] Haru**
Satoru...
**[11:32] Mako**
*They still aren't back...*
**[11:34] Mako**
*Should I go look for them?*
**[11:45] Mako**
You didn't find Haru-chan?
**[11:50] Satoru**
I thought I could live on my own now,
**[11:55] Satoru**
but I can't do anything.
**[11:58] Mako**
Then ask Gin for help.
**[11:59] Satoru**
I'm already imposing on
you and Tatsuo-san.
**[12:02] Satoru**
I can't ask Gintaro-sama
for more help.
**[12:08] Satoru**
It's all because I'm just a child...
**[12:11] Mako**
How stupid are you?!
**[12:12] Mako**
It doesn't matter if
you're a child or not!
**[12:14] Mako**
What matters is that you're human!
**[12:18] Mako**
Nobody can live on their own!
**[12:21] Mako**
What's wrong with asking
the gods for help?!
**[12:23] Mako**
Gin!
**[12:25] Mako**
Look for Haru-chan!
**[12:27] Mako**
Stop pretending to be asleep!
**[12:31] Gin**
You know, you're not asking the
gods for help. You're asking me.
**[12:35] Mako**
Just do it!
**[12:37] Gin**
Hey, you need to learn how
to restrain yourself.
**[12:42] Satoru**
Please help.
**[12:45] Satoru**
I knew deep down that I couldn't
do anything on my own.
**[12:47] Satoru**
I was running away from that fact.
**[12:50] Satoru**
If we have to be separated,
separating sooner
**[12:53] ---**
wouldn't be as painful for Haru...
**[12:55] Satoru**
No, I thought it wouldn't
be as painful for me.
**[13:00] Satoru**
Haru's always been there for me.
**[13:03] Satoru**
Haru even followed me here.
**[13:06] Satoru**
I was happy to have Haru here.
**[13:09] Satoru**
If possible, I want to
spend more time with Haru!
**[13:19] Gin**
Heh, you've opened up quite a bit.
**[13:24] Gin**
Damn, guess I can't refuse, then.
**[13:32] Gin**
I've never searched
for a herald before,
**[13:35] ---**
so I don't know if this will work.
**[14:06] (Flashback) D**
It's a goner.
**[14:13] (Flashback) D**
Make sure you clean yourself off.
**[14:15] (Flashback) D**
Foxes can carry disease.
**[14:22] (Flashback) A**
I will hold a memorial for it.
**[14:24] (Flashback) D**
But it's not your fox, is it?
**[14:28] (Flashback) A**
I live in an Inari shrine.
***SIGN*** Kamio Shrine
**[15:19] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Oh, you must be that fox.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
It appears that you've become a herald.
**[15:29] (Flashback) Haru**
A herald?
**[15:31] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Oh, dear. It appears that
Seigo brought you here.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
My partner passed away last month.
**[15:40] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
And soon after, a new one arrives.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Funny how things work out.
**[15:47] (Flashback) Haru**
What's he doing?
**[15:49] (Flashback) Oto**
He's making a grave for you.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
It's a cherry blossom tree.
**[15:56] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Come spring, it'll be in full bloom.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Haru**
What's spring?
**[16:02] (Flashback) Haru**
A season of warmth.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Haru**
Warmth...
**[16:12] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
My name is Otomatsu.
**[16:13] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
What's yours?
**[16:16] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Ah...
**[16:18] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
That boy will inherit this shrine.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
He can't see us right now,
**[16:23] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
but he will some day.
**[16:26] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
When the time comes,
**[16:29] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
you should call yourself Haru (spring).
**[16:35] (Flashback) Haru**
Haru...
**[16:47] (Flashback) Haru**
Togo, don't go.
**[16:50] (Flashback) G**
Otomatsu-sama. Haru-sama.
**[16:55] (Flashback) G**
Once I'm gone,
**[16:58] (Flashback) G**
please take care of the shrine...
**[17:01] (Flashback) G**
Please take care of Satoru.
**[17:25] (Flashback) Haru**
Satoru.
**[17:27] (Flashback) Haru**
I'm Haru.
**[17:30] (Flashback) Satoru**
Haru?
**[17:33] (Flashback) Sayaka**
Can you make up your mind?
**[17:35] (Flashback) A**
It's not that simple...
**[17:58] (Flashback) Haru**
Satoru, don't be sad.
**[18:01] (Flashback) Haru**
I'm here for you.
**[18:12] Haru**
Am I going to disappear?
**[18:16] Haru**
I guess it doesn't matter if
I can't be with Satoru...
**[18:23] Haru**
Togo, I'm sorry I couldn't
keep my promise.
**[18:28] Satoru**
Haru!
**[18:38] Satoru**
Haru.
**[18:39] Haru**
Sa-Sa—
**[18:44] Haru**
Satoru, sorry about bothering you.
**[18:49] Haru**
So I'll just...
**[18:51] Satoru**
You're not...
**[18:52] Satoru**
You're not bothering... me.
**[19:01] Satoru**
Haru...
**[19:02] Satoru**
I'm... sorry.
**[19:10] Haru**
Satoru!
**[19:13] Satoru**
I'm sorry about saying those things!
**[19:24] Mako**
We did the right thing.
**[19:26] Gin**
Hmm? Where's your
**[19:29] Gin**
"Aw, isn't it so beautiful?"
**[19:31] Gin**
reaction?
**[19:33] Mako**
When did I ever do that?
**[19:35] Mako**
I'm not sure.
**[19:37] Mako**
I mean...
**[19:39] (Flashback) Gin**
He's clearly "in too
deep" for a herald.
**[19:45] Mako**
They can't be together forever...
**[19:49] Gin**
Why worry about the future?
**[19:52] Gin**
You're the one doing as you please
and living in the moment.
**[19:56] Mako**
Gin...
**[19:57] Gin**
They still have some growing
up to do, as do you.
**[20:01] Gin**
Wait a few years and
they'll find an answer.
**[20:09] Mako**
Right.
**[20:11] Mako**
Then it's okay for now.
**[20:14] Mako**
For now...
**[20:19] Tatsuo**
Man, I was getting a little worried.
**[20:22] Tatsuo**
This is wonderful news.
**[20:24] Tatsuo**
Then let's celebrate our new family!
**[20:29] Satoru**
It's a pleasure...
**[20:31] Mako**
Glad to have you...
**[20:35] Tatsuo**
So, Haru-chan?
**[20:37] Tatsuo**
Where's Haru-chan?
**[20:39] Tatsuo**
Over here?
**[20:40] Tatsuo**
Or over there?
**[20:42] Tatsuo**
Oh, I shouldn't say Haru-chan.
**[20:45] Tatsuo**
Haru-sama would be more appropriate.
**[20:46] Mako**
Well, you'd use Haru-chan
if you could see.
**[20:50] Haru**
What's that mean?!
**[20:53] Mako**
Sorry, I should stop
calling you Haru-chan.
**[20:56] Mako**
How about Haru-kun?
**[21:02] Haru**
I'm a girl!
**[21:04] Mako**
What?!
**[21:06] Haru**
I don't believe this!
**[21:07] Mako**
I'm sorry!
**[21:09] Haru**
This is outrageous!
**[21:11] Satoru**
I haven't seen Haru having
this much fun before.
**[21:16] Gin**
What about you?
**[21:26] (Flashback) Satoru**
We won't leave you alone Otomatsu-sama.
**[21:29] (Flashback) Satoru**
I'll talk to Haru.
**[21:32] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Oh, don't worry about me.
**[21:35] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Haru is still young.
**[21:37] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
She should go out and see the world.
**[21:40] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
I'm old now.
**[21:42] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
I'll stay and see what
happens to this shrine.
**[21:46] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
And the people who can't see me.
**[21:50] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Satoru, you are very similar to Seigo.
**[21:54] (Flashback) Satoru**
My great-grandfather?
**[21:56] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
That's probably why Haru
thinks of you as...
**[22:03] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
Well, it's not important.
**[22:06] Otomatsu**
*Take it easy, Satoru.*
**[22:09] Haru**
Satoru, this girl's a lost cause!
**[22:12] Mako**
What?
**[22:13] Mako**
My name is Makoto!
**[22:17] Satoru**
Take it easy...
**[22:28] Haru**
Hey, girl!
**[22:29] Haru**
Don't stare at Satoru!
**[22:31] Mako**
What? What?
**[22:32] Gin**
Man, it's so noisy...
**[22:34] Tatsuo**
You both have school tomorrow.
**[22:36] Satoru**
Thank you for everything.

**[00:07] Satoru**
Men!
**[00:09] R**
Clean hit. Point awarded.
**[00:11] A**
Did you see that?
**[00:12] B**
That was so cool!
**[00:13] R**
Bow.
**[00:22] A**
But you know...
**[00:23] C**
What? Saeki-san and Kamio-kun?
**[00:26] D**
Yep, they live together!
**[00:30] Mako**
*Why...*
**[00:31] Mako**
*Why is this happening to me?*
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
***SIGN*** How Do I Look?
**[02:04] Mako**
How come everyone knows?
**[02:06] A**
We asked him where he lived.
**[02:07] A**
And he answered...
**[02:08] B**
The Saeki shrine.
**[02:10] Kozue**
That's your home, right?
**[02:13] Mako**
U-Um...
**[02:15] Mako**
He's a friend of the family
that's staying with us.
**[02:18] Mako**
He transferred to this school
because he practices kendo.
**[02:20] A**
That makes sense.
**[02:22] Kozue**
Our school does well every
year and Kamio-kun's
**[02:25] ---**
already a starter on our team.
**[02:27] B**
He's a modern version
of a dashing swordsman.
**[02:29] C**
Absolutely.
**[02:34] Mako**
Give me a break...
**[02:35] Hiwa**
It appears that the transfer
student is very popular.
**[02:40] Hiwa**
Is he handsome like
Ikegami-san was hoping?
**[02:43] Mako**
Are you interested, Funabashi-san?
**[02:45] Hiwa**
No, not especially.
**[02:47] Hiwa**
But I heard that his grades are also good.
**[02:49] Hiwa**
Sounds like he can do everything.
**[02:52] Yumi**
Saeki!
**[02:54] Mako**
Yumi-chan.
**[03:04] Mako**
*This is awkward...*
**[03:06] Mako**
*How do I bring up Yumi-chan's proposal?*
**[03:10] Satoru**
Thank you for the meal.
**[03:19] Tatsuo**
Oh, that's not necessary.
**[03:21] Tatsuo**
You washed the dishes last night.
**[03:23] Tatsuo**
It's Makoto's turn.
**[03:24] Satoru**
O-Okay.
**[03:26] Mako**
Satoru-kun, I can do it.
**[03:29] Satoru**
Excuse me.
**[03:33] Tatsuo**
Satoru-kun, you should take a bath.
**[03:37] Tatsuo**
You must be tired after practice.
**[03:39] Satoru**
I'll go last.
**[03:41] Satoru**
Please let me know when you're done.
**[03:43] Mako**
Come on, Dad...
**[03:46] Mako**
You'll make him uncomfortable
if you keep bugging him.
**[03:49] Tatsuo**
But he always goes straight to
his room when he comes home.
**[03:52] Tatsuo**
He's pulling an Amaterasu-sama on us.
**[03:55] Tatsuo**
You know how she hid
in the Ama-no-Iwato?
**[03:57] Mako**
He'll get used to living
here eventually.
**[04:00] Tatsuo**
But he's acting the same
way at school, right?
**[04:04] Mako**
The girls were making a
fuss because he's good
**[04:07] ---**
at kendo and a good student.
**[04:08] Mako**
Oh, Dad. So, tomorrow...
**[04:19] Haru**
It's a smaller shrine,
but it's a lot quieter.
**[04:25] Haru**
Tatsuo is a nice guy.
**[04:29] Haru**
Makoto talks too much.
**[04:32] Haru**
Satoru, you keep grunting.
**[04:35] Haru**
Are you listening to me?
**[04:37] Mako**
I am.
**[04:40] Gin**
Man, you're plastered all over him.
**[04:42] Gin**
Can you be more obnoxious?
**[04:44] Haru**
Quiet!
**[04:45] Haru**
Ugly! Fatty!
**[04:46] Satoru**
Hey, Haru!
**[04:48] Gin**
Wait, what are you doing?
**[04:52] Satoru**
It's your turn, Gintaro-sama.
**[04:54] Gin**
Don't bother. I don't like people
doing that kind of stuff.
**[04:58] Satoru**
That won't do.
You represent this shrine.
**[05:03] Gin**
It's okay, really.
**[05:05] Satoru**
I can't accept that.
**[05:06] Gin**
It's okay!
**[05:11] Haru**
You kicked Satoru!
**[05:13] Satoru**
F-Forgive me for offending you.
**[05:17] Haru**
Apologize!
**[05:18] Haru**
Apologize to Satoru!
**[05:20] (Flashback) Gin**
Hey, what are you doing, Gin?
**[05:20] Gin**
* Makoto doesn't mind when*
* I'm rough with her...*
**[05:22] (Flashback) Gin**
That hurts! Stop it!
**[05:23] Gin**
* But I don't know how to*
* deal with this kid...*
**[05:27] Gin**
You don't have to apologize every time.
**[05:30] Gin**
It's not worth the time.
**[05:33] Gin**
You should probably spend
that effort on other humans.
**[05:37] Satoru**
I-I've been trying my best.
**[05:41] Mako**
Satoru-kun!
**[05:43] Gin**
Look, there's the noisy girl.
**[05:46] Gin**
Get some practice.
**[05:48] Mako**
Sorry about making you help out.
**[05:51] Mako**
Are you missing practice?
**[05:53] Satoru**
It's not a big deal.
**[05:54] Satoru**
I helped out when I was home.
**[05:56] Satoru**
Helping out at the shrine is
more important than kendo.
**[06:00] Mako**
So, Satoru-kun, do you have
any plans after this?
**[06:05] Satoru**
What?
**[06:05] Haru**
Hey! What are you up to?!
**[06:08] Mako**
N-Nothing!
**[06:10] Hiwa**
Hey, walk on the left!
**[06:12] Hiwa**
Did you forget what they taught us?
**[06:13] Yumi**
Did they say something?
**[06:15] Mako**
They're already here?
**[06:16] Yumi**
Heya! Saeki, we're here!
**[06:20] Yumi**
Wow, you're both wearing kimonos!
**[06:25] Mako**
We were performing a
purification this morning.
**[06:27] Yumi**
Oh, really?
**[06:29] Gin**
This should be fun.
**[06:30] Gin**
More noisy girls around.
**[06:32] Mako**
Um, I don't believe you've
met them before, Satoru-kun.
**[06:36] Mako**
These are my classmates...
**[06:37] Yumi**
Ikegami Yumi.
**[06:39] Hiwa**
Funabashi Hiwako.
**[06:40] Hiwa**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[06:42] Satoru**
I'm Kamio...
**[06:43] Mako**
Um, we're going to throw a
welcome party for you today.
**[06:48] Yumi**
Heh, you really are living
at Saeki's place.
**[06:53] Yumi**
What's with that stupid girl?!
**[06:56] Yumi**
Hey, let go of me!
**[06:57] Yumi**
I'm gonna curse her!
**[07:00] Gin**
You can't curse anyone.
**[07:02] Gin**
You see how annoyed he looks?
**[07:05] Gin**
This is a good opportunity for him
to get used to being around humans.
**[07:08] Gin**
You probably realize that
he can't go on like this.
**[07:12] Gin**
He may be able to see us, but he
lives in the human world, not ours.
**[07:19] Haru**
You have no idea!
**[07:21] Haru**
Satoru got used to putting up walls
**[07:23] ---**
because of the people
he was living with.
**[07:26] Haru**
He knows what he has to do,
but it's hard to change.
**[07:29] Gin**
Ah, that's nice.
**[07:32] Haru**
I'll always be there for him.
**[07:35] Haru**
But I know it's not good for him.
**[07:39] Haru**
So I'll control myself today!
**[07:42] Haru**
I'm not doing this
because you told me to!
**[07:44] Gin**
Yeah, yeah.
**[07:45] Yumi**
I thought you'd be taller.
**[07:49] Yumi**
You're the same height I am?
**[07:50] Mako**
Yu-Yumi-chan!
**[07:51] Yumi**
But that means he's
shorter than Funabashi.
**[07:54] Haru**
That bitch!
**[07:55] Gin**
I thought you were going
to control yourself.
**[07:58] Tatsuo**
Oh. Welcome, girls.
**[08:00] Yumi**
You're wearing a kimono, too!
**[08:02] Tatsuo**
I have a ground-breaking
ceremony to attend.
**[08:06] Hiwa**
U-Um, thank you
for having us over.
**[08:09] Hiwa**
This is a little something.
**[08:11] Tatsuo**
Oh, why thank you.
**[08:15] Tatsuo**
Well, I'll try to hurry home.
**[08:17] Mako**
Okay, goodbye.
**[08:21] Yumi**
Funabashi-san?
**[08:23] Yumi**
I found it odd that you weren't
interested in any guys at school.
**[08:26] Yumi**
So that's why...
**[08:27] Yumi**
You don't like immature boys, huh?
**[08:30] Hiwa**
I-It's not like that!
**[08:31] Yumi**
I knew something was up.
**[08:33] Yumi**
You were so eager to come along.
**[08:36] Yumi**
Do you have a father complex?
**[08:37] Hiwa**
Stop it! You're being rude!
**[08:39] Mako**
Satoru-kun?
**[08:42] Satoru**
I'm grateful for the welcome party,
**[08:45] Satoru**
but I don't enjoy loud celebrations.
**[08:47] Mako**
Sorry about moving ahead with
this without asking you first.
**[08:50] Mako**
But everybody's here
and Dad's all excited.
**[08:57] Satoru**
Let me know when everything's ready.
**[09:02] Yumi**
Man, he's no fun.
**[09:05] Mako**
I didn't get a chance to
tell him yesterday...
**[09:07] Yumi**
What?! You didn't tell him?
**[09:09] Hiwa**
Isn't this your fault, Ikegami-san?
**[09:11] Yumi**
Huh? What did I do wrong?
**[09:13] Yumi**
Whatever, let's go shopping.
**[09:16] Mako**
My dad left a list.
**[09:18] Yumi**
Lots of snacks!
**[09:24] Tatsuo**
Well, let's welcome Satoru-kun!
**[09:27] All**
Cheers!
**[09:31] Yumi**
You're such a good cook, Mr. Saeki.
**[09:33] Tatsuo**
It was only possible
with everybody's help.
**[09:36] Yumi**
And then you have...
**[09:38] Hiwa**
I-I'm sorry...
**[09:40] Tatsuo**
Don't worry.
**[09:42] Tatsuo**
It's a little burnt,
but it still tastes good.
**[09:44] Tatsuo**
Anyway, you kids should
knock yourself out!
**[09:46] Tatsuo**
How's the food, Satoru-kun?
**[09:47] Satoru**
I-It's good.
**[09:50] Yumi**
So you listen to Mr. Saeki.
**[09:53] Mako**
When's your birthday, Satoru-kun?
**[09:55] Tatsuo**
Yes, we'll want to celebrate.
**[09:58] Yumi**
Anyway, you were all
wearing kimonos today.
**[10:01] Yumi**
They looked nice.
**[10:02] Yumi**
I've only worn yukatas before.
**[10:04] Mako**
Would you like to try one on tomorrow?
**[10:06] Yumi**
Oh? Can I?
**[10:08] Tatsuo**
That's a good idea.
**[10:09] Yumi**
Do you think I'll look funny?
**[10:12] ---**
What should I do?
**[10:16] Yumi**
Kamio!
**[10:17] Yumi**
Let's party together!
**[10:19] Mako**
Won't you join us for a bit?
**[10:22] Satoru**
Thank you.
**[10:23] Satoru**
But I've had enough fun.
**[10:26] Satoru**
You girls can enjoy yourselves.
**[10:27] Mako**
Oh. Thanks for putting
up with us today.
**[10:30] Hiwa**
We can't force him into anything.
**[10:32] ---**
All right, shall we go upstairs?
**[10:37] Haru**
Oh, Satoru!
**[10:38] Haru**
Welcome back!
**[10:40] Haru**
Did you have fun?
**[10:42] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:47] Haru**
Are you studying?
**[10:48] Satoru**
Yeah, there's a test coming up.
**[10:49] Satoru**
Hey, stop it!
**[10:52] ---**
That hurts! That hurts, Ikegami-san.
**[10:55] Haru**
They're so noisy.
**[10:57] ---**
Well, unlike someone else I know.
**[10:59] ---**
What do you mean?
**[11:01] Hiwa**
What's that supposed
to mean, Ikegami-san?!
**[11:07] Haru**
They're so loud!
**[11:09] Haru**
How can they keep giggling on and on?!
**[11:12] Satoru**
If you're curious, you can go look.
**[11:15] Satoru**
There's nothing interesting
happening here.
**[11:17] Satoru**
You're free to do what you want.
**[11:25] Haru**
I'm staying here.
**[11:28] Haru**
I think it's interesting here.
**[11:31] Haru**
They wanted to throw you
a welcome party, right?
**[11:35] Haru**
Doesn't that make you happy, Satoru?
**[11:41] Haru**
I was happy to see other
people being nice to you.
**[11:47] (Flashback) Haru**
Hey, Grandpa Matsu. Why did you
tell Satoru to take it easy?
**[11:50] (Flashback) Haru**
He looks like he's having
fun when he's with us.
**[11:55] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
You see, Satoru has been forced to
put up walls so he can stay here.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
That just shows that this
isn't where he belongs.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
It's tiring and lonely for him.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Haru**
But he has us.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
True, but we are heralds,
while Satoru is human.
**[12:15] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
I've spent a long time watching humans,
**[12:18] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
and they belong with other humans.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
But when you put up walls,
you can't see other people
**[12:28] (Flashback) ---**
and they can't see you.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Otomatsu**
So he needs to bring down
the walls and take it easy.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Gin**
He may be able to see us, but he
lives in the human world, not ours.
**[12:48] Satoru**
I'm not sure...
**[12:50] Satoru**
I wasn't able to tell them
my birthday when they asked.
**[12:54] Satoru**
The only days I remember are the days
my parents and grandfather died.
**[13:03] Satoru**
Haru,
**[13:05] ---**
how do I look right now?
**[13:13] Satoru**
How do I look right now?
**[13:20] Haru**
You look the same as always.
**[13:23] Satoru**
Really...
**[13:25] Haru**
Satoru, if you're happy,
you should express it.
**[13:29] Haru**
It's not that hard.
**[13:31] Haru**
You just have to look the way
you do when you're with me.
**[13:34] Haru**
Everyone will like you more, then.
**[13:39] Satoru**
*I'm such an idiot...*
**[13:41] Satoru**
*I'm making Haru worry about me again.*
**[13:45] Yumi**
This is getting boring.
**[13:47] Hiwa**
We should go to bed.
**[13:49] Yumi**
It's only 11 o'clock.
**[13:51] Yumi**
Anyway, what's Kamio doing?
**[13:54] Mako**
He's probably studying.
**[13:55] Yumi**
Seriously?
**[13:57] Hiwa**
It's better to let him be alone.
**[14:00] Yumi**
But when someone resists, it just
makes me want to play with them more.
**[14:04] Yumi**
That's why cats are fun.
**[14:05] Mako**
Oh, I know what you mean.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Gin**
Stop it, Makoto!
**[14:09] Yumi**
Oh, well...
**[14:11] Hiwa**
Ikegami-san, where are you going?
**[14:13] Yumi**
You need to ask?
**[14:19] Haru**
Satoru?
**[14:20] Satoru**
Sorry, Haru.
**[14:23] Satoru**
I understand.
**[14:25] Satoru**
They threw the party for my sake.
**[14:28] Satoru**
I'm happy that they took the effort.
**[14:30] Satoru**
I'll try to express myself
better from now on.
**[14:34] Haru**
Really? You don't have to do
anything you don't want to.
**[14:37] Satoru**
Yes, I know.
**[14:41] Haru**
Why are they so loud?
**[14:44] Yumi**
Excuse us!
**[14:46] Satoru**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[14:48] Yumi**
I want to know more about you.
**[14:50] Yumi**
Let's chat a bit.
**[14:54] Mako**
Sorry, Haru-chan.
**[14:55] Hiwa**
Ikegami-san, this is...
**[14:57] Yumi**
You really are studying...
**[15:00] Yumi**
What is this problem?
**[15:02] Hiwa**
What?! He's already
learned how to do this?!
**[15:05] Yumi**
That reminds me.
**[15:06] Yumi**
So, when's your birthday?
**[15:08] Satoru**
S-September 23rd.
**[15:11] Haru**
Hey! Stop that girl!
**[15:14] Mako**
Th-This might be a good chance for
Satoru-kun to get to know them.
**[15:18] Haru**
This is making things worse!
**[15:20] Yumi**
What's your bloodtype?
**[15:21] Yumi**
I'm guessing it's B.
**[15:23] Satoru**
A.
**[15:24] Yumi**
And you're the same
height as me, right?
**[15:27] Satoru**
Cut it out!
**[15:29] Yumi**
Give that back!
**[15:31] Satoru**
Why do you want to know more about me?
**[15:33] Yumi**
You're a transfer student.
People want to know these things.
**[15:35] Haru**
See?! Now stop her!
**[15:37] Mako**
I can't do anything about this.
**[15:40] Satoru**
Forget it. Have it your way.
**[15:43] Mako**
I've never seen kendo
gear close up before...
**[15:46] Hiwa**
U-Um...
**[15:48] Hiwa**
Could you show me your notes?
**[15:53] Yumi**
That's a nice shot of you getting cozy.
**[15:56] Hiwa**
What?! You shouldn't take
pictures without permission!
**[15:59] Yumi**
It doesn't hurt anyone.
**[16:02] Hiwa**
Anyway, we should get going.
**[16:03] Haru**
Yeah! Leave!
**[16:05] Mako**
Oh, so this is what kendo
gear looks like...
**[16:06] Haru**
Don't change the subject!
**[16:07] Satoru**
*What's going on...?*
**[16:10] Satoru**
*Why did this happen?*
**[16:13] Satoru**
* No, I'm sure they're*
* doing this for my sake.*
**[16:17] Satoru**
*I was a little happy when they came.*
**[16:21] Satoru**
*Happy?*
**[16:22] Satoru**
*Really?*
**[16:24] Satoru**
*Are they really doing this to help me?*
**[16:27] Satoru**
* I keep telling them that I*
* don't want them to bother me.*
**[16:29] Satoru**
*And I'm supposed to endure it?*
**[16:33] Satoru**
Be quiet!
**[16:37] Yumi**
Ow! What was that for?!
**[16:40] Satoru**
I'm the one asking questions here!
**[16:42] Satoru**
What are you girls trying to do?!
**[16:44] Satoru**
Stop writing down notes!
**[16:45] Satoru**
Stop taking pictures!
**[16:46] Satoru**
Stop touching my stuff!
**[16:47] Haru**
S-Satoru...
**[16:49] Satoru**
I said that I don't
like too much noise!
**[16:52] Satoru**
Don't you realize that
you're bothering me?!
**[16:55] Satoru**
P-Plus...
**[16:56] Satoru**
Plus...
**[16:58] Satoru**
I can still grow taller!
**[17:01] All**
S-Sorry...
**[17:03] Satoru**
Er, uh...
**[17:05] Yumi**
I didn't realize you had a
complex about your height...
**[17:08] Yumi**
I'm sorry.
**[17:11] Hiwa**
Yes, Ikegami-san. You kept
bringing up that sore subject.
**[17:15] Yumi**
I said that I'm sorry.
**[17:19] Yumi**
Huh? Why are you laughing?
**[17:22] Mako**
Sorry...
**[17:23] Mako**
But I don't think that's the
reason Satoru-kun is mad.
**[17:26] Yumi**
But it's our fault, right?
**[17:28] Hiwa**
Wait, it's because...
**[17:37] Satoru**
I feel really stupid.
**[17:40] Mako**
Sorry.
**[17:41] Mako**
We weren't trying to bother you,
but we want to become friends.
**[17:46] Yumi**
That's right. You should have seen
how we started with Funabashi-san.
**[17:48] Hiwa**
Ikegami-san!
**[17:50] Mako**
So we should take this
opportunity to talk.
**[17:53] Mako**
The welcome party doesn't
end until the day's over!
**[17:57] Mako**
Is that okay?
**[18:01] Satoru**
I guess I can't stop you.
**[18:03] Satoru**
I suppose I can humor you today.
**[18:06] Mako**
Really?
**[18:07] Yumi**
Yay!
**[18:09] Hiwa**
Let's move the table to
the middle of the room.
**[18:11] Mako**
Sorry, Haru-chan.
**[18:13] Mako**
Huh?
**[18:20] Gin**
How'd it go?
**[18:23] Haru**
It was absolutely horrible.
**[18:26] Haru**
Those girls are crazy!
**[18:29] Gin**
So you couldn't fall asleep after
being left alone, little kid?
**[18:34] Haru**
No way!
**[18:36] Haru**
But I've never seen
Satoru act like that.
**[18:42] Gin**
It's gonna keep happening.
**[18:46] Haru**
I don't care if he makes friends on
the other side instead of our side.
**[18:52] Haru**
But you look pretty lonely,
so I guess I can keep you company.
**[18:58] Gin**
I appreciate it.
**[19:06] Tatsuo**
You all look happy.
**[19:08] Yumi**
Good morning!
**[19:09] Mako**
You woke us up right after
we finally went to sleep.
**[19:13] Hiwa**
I have bags under my eyes.
It's embarrassing.
**[19:16] Yumi**
How do I look, Mr. Saeki?
**[19:17] Tatsuo**
You would all make wonderful
shrine maidens.
**[19:21] Satoru**
Otomatsu-sama is his name.
**[19:23] Mako**
Huh?
**[19:24] Satoru**
The name of Haru's partner.
**[19:26] Satoru**
He's an old fox spirit who gave
me some advice before I left.
**[19:30] Satoru**
He told me to take it easy.
**[19:33] Mako**
Take it easy....
**[19:35] Satoru**
You girls kind of forced
me to relax last night.
**[19:40] Mako**
I'd like to meet Otomatsu-sama.
**[19:43] Satoru**
I'm sure you'll get a chance.
**[19:45] Yumi**
Should I buy a charm?
**[19:50] Yumi**
Should I get one for academics?
**[19:51] Yumi**
We have midterms coming up.
**[19:53] Hiwa**
You're resorting to this?
**[19:55] Satoru**
You're not supposed to
buy charms for yourself.
**[19:58] Satoru**
They're more effective when
they're given as presents.
**[20:01] Satoru**
Didn't you know that?
**[20:02] Hiwa**
Oh, really?
**[20:04] Yumi**
That sounded insulting.
**[20:07] Satoru**
You can have this.
**[20:08] Satoru**
As thanks for the welcome party.
***SIGN*** Academic

**[20:10] Satoru**

**[20:12] Yumi**
Thanks!
**[20:14] Mako**
Charms are more effective if
you care about the person
**[20:17] ---**
you're giving them to.
**[20:18] Hiwa**
Oh, does that mean you care about us?
**[20:22] Yumi**
I'm glad to hear that!
**[20:24] Aki**
Hello!
**[20:25] Sachina**
Makoto-oneechan!
**[20:27] Mako**
Aki-chan! Sa-chan!
**[20:28] Yumi**
Yo.
**[20:29] Aki**
Oh, it's the lady who likes cats!
**[20:31] Aki**
How's Mi-chan doing?
**[20:33] Yumi**
Mi-chan's doing great!
**[20:34] Sachina**
Oh? I don't know the other lady.
**[20:36] Aki**
And there's a guy I don't know.
**[20:38] Mako**
He's a new family member.
**[20:41] Mako**
Be nice to him.
**[20:43] Sachina**
Hi, there.
**[20:44] Aki**
We live nearby.
**[20:45] Satoru**
N-Nice to meet you.
**[20:48] G**
Oh, there are many cute
shrine maidens here today.
**[20:52] Mako**
Welcome, Granny.
**[20:53] Both**
Good morning!
**[20:55] Yumi**
Okay, let's pay our respects!
**[20:57] Both**
Let's! Let's!
**[20:59] A**
We're here to thank the fox spirit.
**[21:01] B**
Our recital went well.
**[21:06] Satoru**
This shrine is completely
different from mine.
**[21:11] Gin**
Shrines are all the same.
**[21:13] Satoru**
Perhaps.
**[21:15] Satoru**
I'm sure that our shrine was the same.
**[21:17] Satoru**
It's just that I never noticed.
**[21:22] Gin**
That's not a big deal.
**[21:24] Gin**
Most people never notice.
**[21:27] Yumi**
Kamio! Let's take a picture!
**[21:31] Satoru**
Excuse me.
**[21:35] Mako**
What were you talking to Gin about?
**[21:37] Satoru**
Nothing important.
**[21:38] Satoru**
I was just saying that this
shrine is a nice place.
**[21:43] Satoru**
I'm looking forward to staying here.
**[21:47] Satoru**
I'm glad to be here.
**[21:50] Mako**
Yep, glad to have you!
**[21:52] A**
It's so cute.
**[21:54] Yumi**
Isn't it?
**[21:55] B**
You look great!
**[22:00] (Flashback) Satoru**
How do I look right now?
**[22:04] Haru**
You look like you're having fun.
**[22:09] Tatsuo**
It looks like he's left the Ama-no-Iwato.
**[22:11] G**
Oh? What do you mean?
**[22:14] Yumi**
Mr. Saeki!
**[22:15] Yumi**
You should get in the picture!
**[22:17] Mako**
You too, Granny!
**[22:18] Tatsuo**
What? Can I?
**[22:20] ---**
Oh my...
**[22:23] Gin**
Yeah, another day of peace and quiet.
**[22:26] Yumi**
Okay, say cheese!

Cheese!

Jeez...
**[02:16] Mako**
Is this gonna be a dry summer?
**[02:19] Haru**
There are a lot of trees around.
**[02:22] Satoru**
This is a temple, Haru.
**[02:23] Haru**
A temple?
**[02:25] Gin**
Man, this is all because you said
you wanted to meet the lion-dogs.
**[02:30] Gin**
What a pain...
**[02:32] Satoru**
I'm very sorry, Gintaro-sama.
**[02:35] Mako**
It's okay.
**[02:36] ---**
We wanted to show you around town.
**[02:39] Haru**
If you're not happy, go back to sleep.
**[02:42] Gin**
I would if I could.
**[02:44] Sho**
What's taking you so long?
**[02:45] Sho**
Just come over!
**[02:47] Sho**
Yeah, I get it.
**[02:48] Sho**
Just hurry up.
**[02:48] Mako**
That voice sounds familiar...
**[02:52] Sho**
Come on...
**[02:54] Sho**
Oh, it's Mako-chan.
**[02:56] Mako**
Shohei-kun, why are you here?
***SIGN*** Amabuki Temple
**[02:59] Sho**
This is my home.
**[03:01] Mako**
Really?
**[03:03] Mako**
This is a big temple.
**[03:04] Sho**
Nah, it's old as dirt.
**[03:06] Mako**
Was that Yumi-chan?
**[03:08] Sho**
Bingo.
**[03:09] Sho**
She wants to come see Fug.
**[03:12] Mako**
You're really close.
**[03:13] Sho**
What about you, Mako-chan?
**[03:15] Sho**
Is that your boyfriend?
**[03:16] Mako**
N-No!
**[03:18] Mako**
He's a friend of the family
from another shrine.
**[03:21] Haru**
Why are you blushing?!
**[03:23] Mako**
I'm not!
**[03:25] Sho**
Huh?
**[03:26] Mako**
N-Nothing!
**[03:28] Mako**
*R-Right...*
**[03:29] Mako**
* Other people can't see*
* Haru-chan and Gintaro,*
**[03:33] Mako**
* so it looks like the*
* two of us are alone.*
**[03:35] Sho**
I'm Amamoto. Hi.
**[03:38] Satoru**
I'm Kamio.
**[03:40] Mako**
He goes to a different school,
but he's Yumi-chan's...
**[03:43] Satoru**
Oh...
**[03:46] Satoru**
Oh.
**[03:48] Sho**
What was that pause for?
**[03:50] Mako**
Huh?
**[03:51] Satoru**
It was nothing.
**[03:52] Sho**
You look like you have
something you wanna say.
**[03:56] Yumi**
Huh?
**[03:57] Yumi**
Saeki!
**[03:58] Mako**
Yumi-chan!
**[04:00] Yumi**
Why are you and Kamio here?
**[04:03] Yumi**
Are you on a date?
**[04:07] Mako**
We're not!
**[04:08] Mako**
I'm showing Satoru-kun around town.
**[04:12] Yumi**
Anyway, you should come in
and see how Mi-chan's doing.
**[04:16] Yumi**
Come in.

What's wrong, Gintaro?
**[04:23] Gin**
Nothing.
**[04:27] Yumi**
Hello.
**[04:30] A**
Well, well.
**[04:31] A**
Glad you could come.
**[04:33] Yumi**
Here's a little gift.
**[04:34] A**
Oh, thanks as always.
**[04:37] B**
Sho-chan, is Yumi-chan here?
**[04:40] B**
Yumi-chan!
**[04:41] C**
Hey, there are people
I don't recognize.
**[04:43] Yumi**
These are my friends,
Saeki and Kamio-kun!
**[04:47] A**
Thank you for coming.
**[04:48] A**
I'm Shohei's mother.

I'm his older sister, Fujino.

I'm Kikuri.

Nice to meet you.
**[04:54] Mako**
I'm Saeki.

Hello.
**[04:57] C**
L-Look, Fuji-nee!
**[04:58] C**
That boy's really cute!
**[05:00] B**
Uh-huh!
**[05:01] B**
When did you become friends
with this boy, Sho-chan?
**[05:03] C**
He's so clean!
**[05:05] B**
Uh-huh!
**[05:06] B**
He's adorable!
**[05:12] D**
Bah, what a pain...
**[05:14] Yumi**
Oh, Serika-oneechan.
**[05:16] D**
Hmm? We have guests?
**[05:19] Ki**
Serika-san, I finished washing the car.
**[05:23] D**
I need you to come
shopping with me, then.
**[05:27] Ki**
I have yard work to do.
**[05:29] D**
You can do it later!
**[05:31] Ki**
No,
**[05:33] ---**
it is part of my training.
**[05:40] D**
I love it!
**[05:42] D**
He's so hot!
**[05:44] D**
I'm gonna make him mine!
**[05:47] Sho**
Sorry...
**[05:48] Mako**
I wish we had this much fun at home.
**[05:51] Mako**
It's just me and my dad.
**[05:54] Haru**
I would never want to live here.
**[05:59] Dad**
I think it's time to shave
that head of yours.
**[06:01] Sho**
Ugh, old man!
**[06:05] Sho**
Let's get going.
**[06:06] Sho**
You wanna see Fug, right?
**[06:10] Mako**
* Shohei-kun must have*
* a rough time at home.*
**[06:16] Yumi**
Mi-chan.
**[06:17] Yumi**
What are you doing here, Mi-chan?
**[06:19] Yumi**
Come out.
**[06:21] Mako**
Yumi-chan!
**[06:22] Mako**
They can see your underwear!
**[06:25] Hiro**
This time, I'm really leaving!
**[06:29] Hiro**
I can't take anymore of this!
**[06:31] Hiro**
I've had enough!
**[06:32] Ya**
Come on, not again...
**[06:34] Yumi**
Calm down, Mi-chan.
**[06:36] Yumi**
You okay?
**[06:37] Yumi**
Seriously, what's wrong
with your place?
**[06:41] Sho**
Well, actually...
**[06:44] Sho**
We've been getting visitors...
**[06:45] Yumi**
Huh?
**[06:47] Sho**
Like this!
**[06:48] Yumi**
What?
**[06:48] ---**
I'm going home!
**[06:49] Mako**
You mean ghosts?
**[06:52] Sho**
Well, this is a temple,
so it's not that weird.
**[06:54] Yumi**
You never mentioned
anything about this!
**[06:57] Sho**
It's not that unusual.
**[06:59] Yumi**
Yes, it is.
**[07:00] Sho**
It's not.
**[07:01] Yumi**
Stop lying!
**[07:02] Sho**
I'm not!
**[07:03] Yumi**
You are!
**[07:03] Sho**
I'm not!
**[07:04] Mako**
Now, now...
**[07:05] Haru**
Sheesh...
**[07:07] Satoru**
I think it's time to leave.
**[07:10] Gin**
I feel the same way.
**[07:15] Sho**
It's not like anyone's
actually seen a ghost.
**[07:17] Sho**
I've gotten used to it.
**[07:19] Yumi**
So what do you mean?
**[07:20] Sho**
We've had stuff fall
down during meditation
**[07:23] Sho**
and candles going out when
there wasn't any wind.
**[07:26] Sho**
The yard gets messed up
right after we cleaned it.
**[07:28] Sho**
That's about it.
**[07:30] Sho**
My old man said that this was
"part of Buddhist training."
**[07:35] Sho**
It's possible that Fug can see them.
**[07:40] Yumi**
It's not funny!
**[07:42] Yumi**
Maybe you need to show more
respect for the dead!
**[07:44] Sho**
What's that got to do with anything?!
**[07:45] Yumi**
Then why are there ghosts?!
**[07:46] Mako**
*Ghosts...*
**[07:47] Sho**
It's not my fault!
**[07:48] Mako**
* Right, unlike shrines, temples are*
* where people are laid to rest.*
**[07:56] Satoru**
Gintaro-sama, did you sense that?
**[07:59] Gin**
Yes, I felt something.
**[08:05] Yumi**
Huh? There's a shrine.
**[08:07] Yumi**
Why? Isn't this a temple?
**[08:09] Sho**
Oh, it's always been there.
**[08:12] Sho**
We maintain the place,
**[08:14] Sho**
but it's not that unusual to
find a shrine in a temple.
**[08:18] Sho**
Are you interested, Mako-chan?
**[08:21] Sho**
You're a true shrine girl.
**[08:23] Gin**
The gods and Buddhas used
to be lumped together.
**[08:27] Gin**
It's not that strange.
**[08:29] Satoru**
Back when the religions
were mixed together?
**[08:34] Yumi**
What was that?
**[08:35] Sho**
There it is again.
**[08:37] Sho**
You can look around if you want.
**[08:39] Yumi**
Huh?
**[08:40] Yumi**
What do you mean?
**[08:41] Yumi**
What's wrong, Mi-chan?
**[08:44] Yumi**
Wait up, Mi-chan!
**[08:45] ---**
Yumi-chan?
**[08:46] Yumi**
Mi-chan, there's nothing
to be scared about!
**[08:48] Mako**
Gintaro, does that
little shrine have...
**[08:50] Gin**
The size of a shrine doesn't matter.
**[08:54] Gin**
It looks like they're here...
**[09:00] Gin**
and they like to play pranks.
**[09:03] Mako**
Heralds!
**[09:06] Haru**
Satoru, let's go look!
**[09:10] Gin**
Good grief...
**[09:12] Gin**
They see heralds every day.
**[09:16] Ya**
It's starting to happen a lot more.
**[09:18] Sho**
How did this fall over?
**[09:39] Fuku**

**[10:00] Fuu**

**[10:03] Fuku**
Oh, there's also a big one.

Hey!
**[10:08] Haru**
Get down here!

Who're you calling a little weirdo?!

F-Fuu-chan...
**[10:16] Fuu**

**[10:18] Both**
Scary!
**[10:19] Mako**
Hey, Gin. You're scaring them.
**[10:23] Gin**
I haven't done a thing.
**[10:25] Satoru**
Haru.
**[10:26] Haru**
But they were making fun of me!
**[10:28] Gin**
Good grief...
**[10:30] Gin**
Aren't you heralds?
**[10:32] Gin**
Have you never spoken
to a human before?
**[10:36] Fuku**
Are you a herald, too, Gramps?
**[10:39] Mako**
Gramps...
**[10:40] Fuku**
You look totally different than us.
**[10:43] Gin**
I'm a fox.
**[10:44] Fuu**
Oh, a fox!
**[10:46] Fuu**
We're monkeys!
**[10:48] Both**
Yep!
**[10:50] Mako**
I know, I know...
**[10:52] Fuku**
I know, Fuu-chan!
**[10:53] Fuku**
This is what Grandpa was talking about!
**[10:55] Fuku**
He said there were other
types of heralds out there!
**[10:59] Fuu**
That's right! This is great!
**[11:01] Fuku**
It's our first time seeing one!
**[11:04] Both**
Yay!
**[11:04] Gin**
Everything clear now?
**[11:05] Gin**
They're responsible for
that ghost business.
**[11:09] Gin**
It doesn't look like there are
any humans around with the Sight.
**[11:12] Gin**
Satisfied now?
**[11:13] Gin**
Let's go home.
**[11:15] Mako**
Huh? We can't go!
**[11:16] Mako**
We need to talk to them and
tell them to stop their pranks.
**[11:20] Satoru**
We're outsiders.
**[11:22] Satoru**
I think it's best if we don't interfere.
**[11:25] Mako**
But...
**[11:26] Haru**
You can stay behind by yourself, then!
**[11:29] Fuu**
Human! Human!
**[11:35] Fuu**
You can see me?
**[11:36] Fuu**
Can you really see me?
**[11:38] Fuu**
Really?
**[11:39] Mako**
Yup.
**[11:40] Fuu**
Are you leaving now?
**[11:44] Mako**
So cute!
**[11:46] ---**
Yay!
**[11:47] Haru**
Honestly...
**[11:48] Haru**
Cute, cute, cute.
**[11:49] Haru**
Human women have no self-control.
**[11:53] Fuku**
No fair!
**[11:55] Fuku**
Fuu-chan gets all the fun!
**[11:59] Fuku**
Hey, am I cute? Am I?
**[12:02] Satoru**
S-Sure.
**[12:03] Fuku**
Yay!
**[12:04] Haru**
Hey! Get off of Satoru!
**[12:07] Fuku**
What's this ribbon?
**[12:09] Fuku**
You don't deserve it!
**[12:18] Haru**
My ribbon!
**[12:23] Satoru**
H-Haru, stay calm.
**[12:25] Haru**
I'm mad now!
**[12:27] Haru**
Gintaro, catch them!
**[12:28] Haru**
We need to punish them!
**[12:30] Gin**
Too much effort.
**[12:31] Haru**
Get to it!
**[12:33] Mako**
Now, now...
**[12:34] Mako**
You're their elder, Haru-chan.
**[12:38] Fuku**
Funny face!
**[12:41] Gin**
Hey, can you cut it—
**[12:44] Fuu**
Fox!
**[12:46] Fuku**
Scary face!
**[12:49] Gin**
Ow!
**[12:53] Fuu**
If you're mad, follow us up here!
**[12:56] Fuu**
In your face!
**[12:58] Fuku**
Can't do it!
**[13:00] Mako**
Hey!
**[13:07] Gin**
Nothing good ever happens
when I leave the shrine.
**[13:10] Mako**
What do we do, Gin?
**[13:12] Haru**
Hold it right there!
**[13:15] Gin**
There's no difference between
human brats and herald brats.
**[13:19] Gin**
Okay, Makoto.
**[13:20] Gin**
Let's get this over with
so we can go home.
**[13:26] Fuu**
You're fast, Gramps!
**[13:28] Fuku**
Amazing!
**[13:29] Haru**
Get 'em, Gintaro!
**[13:30] Haru**
Round 'em up and punish them!
**[13:33] Gin**
You're getting punished, too.
**[13:36] Gin**
Now cut it out!
**[13:40] Mako**
Gin!
**[13:42] Satoru**
Stupid! Keep your voice down!
**[13:44] Mako**
S-Sorry...
**[13:45] Yumi**
Mi-chan, where are you?
**[13:49] Yumi**
Oh?
**[13:52] Yumi**
What's this?
**[13:53] Yumi**
Did I interrupt something?
**[13:55] Mako**
It's not what you think!
**[13:57] Yumi**
Sorry!
**[13:58] Mako**
Yumi-chan!
**[13:59] Fuku**
Wide open!
**[14:05] Fuku**
We made her cry!
**[14:11] Satoru**
What is with today?
**[14:15] Gin**
Man, I wanna go home...
**[14:17] Sho**
Sorry, the altar fell over.
**[14:20] Sho**
Didn't mean to scare everyone.
**[14:22] Yumi**
Oh, Shohei.
**[14:23] Yumi**
I can't find Mi-chan.
**[14:26] Shohei**
Maybe she ran into the graveyard?
**[14:29] Shohei**
Let's look over there.
**[14:32] Haru**
Grr!
**[14:33] Haru**
Gintaro, catch them quick!
**[14:35] Gin**
I've done enough.
**[14:37] Gin**
You need to calm down.
**[14:40] Fuku**
Fuu-chan, let's do it!
**[14:43] Fuu**
Ta-da!
**[14:51] Yumi**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[14:53] Sho**
Ouch!
**[14:54] Sho**
It was just the wind!
**[14:57] Gin**
Oh, so you can control the wind.
**[15:00] Gin**
Must come in handy when
you're playing pranks.
**[15:02] Mako**
Did they do that?
**[15:04] Fuu**
Hey, it's harder to play pranks
when humans are watching us.
**[15:08] Fuu**
They're a real pain.
**[15:10] Haru**
Hey!
**[15:11] Haru**
Heralds aren't supposed to play pranks!
**[15:14] Fuku**
Huh? Why not?
**[15:16] Fuu**
It's so much fun to play pranks!
**[15:18] Fuku**
Everyone forgets about the sad things!
**[15:20] Fuku**
Everyone's happy!
**[15:22] Fuu**
Hey, are you gonna try to catch us?
**[15:24] Fuku**
That means Gramps is it!
**[15:26] Haru**
I don't have time to waste on you!
**[15:30] Haru**
Hey! Wait up!
**[15:32] Fuku**
No way!
**[15:38] Haru**
Stop running around!
**[15:39] Gin**
Can you all shut up?!
**[15:41] Gin**
I hate brats.
**[15:43] Fuu**
Stop! This isn't fair!
**[15:46] Fuu**
Let's play tag!
**[15:55] Satoru**
Haru!
**[15:57] Both**
Try and catch us!
**[16:03] Haru**
Satoru!
**[16:04] Haru**
I've had enough! Let's go home!
**[16:06] Mako**
Are you okay, Haru-chan?
**[16:13] Gin**
Stupid girl always has to meddle.
**[16:20] Hiro**
No more!
**[16:21] Yumi**
Honestly, it's like you're
still in grade school.
**[16:23] Mako**
Say, Satoru-kun...
**[16:25] Mako**
Why do you think those
heralds are playing pranks?
**[16:28] Haru**
Because they think it's fun!
**[16:30] Haru**
There's no other reason!
**[16:33] Mako**
But...
**[16:34] Mako**
Their pranks are causing fights
**[16:36] Mako**
and scaring people who
think they're ghosts
**[16:38] Mako**
when they're really heralds.
**[16:41] Mako**
Haru-chan, would you want people
to think you're a ghost?
**[16:45] Haru**
No...
**[16:47] Mako**
This place is a temple,
there's no one with the Sight,
**[16:49] ---**
and they're still kids...
**[16:51] Mako**
Maybe they've been
isolated from humans.
**[16:54] Satoru**
Let's go talk to the chief priest.
**[16:57] Satoru**
He may know something.
**[16:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:00] Dad**
We maintain this shrine currently,
**[17:04] Dad**
but it was here when the
temple was originally built,
**[17:07] Dad**
and our temple is actually
using the shrine grounds.
**[17:12] Sho**
Really?
**[17:14] Dad**
I already taught you that!
**[17:18] Dad**
Long ago, there were many
monkeys living around here.
**[17:23] Dad**
That may be why the heralds for
this shrine are monkey spirits.
**[17:29] Dad**
When Shinto and Buddhism were
separated, the temple was larger,
**[17:33] Dad**
and the shrine was uninhabited,
so it was left like this.
**[17:38] Dad**
Well, I suppose that the
temple grew so large
**[17:41] ---**
because it benefited from
being near the shrine.
**[17:44] Dad**
Monkeys are the symbol of victory.
**[17:46] Dad**
Sacred monkeys are the key to victory.
**[17:50] Dad**
So we are as grateful to the
gods as we are to the Buddhas.
**[18:00] Yumi**
I'll go see if Mi-chan
is in the graveyard.
**[18:03] Mako**
We'll look over there, then.
**[18:06] Mako**
There used to be lots
of monkeys around.
**[18:09] Mako**
Maybe they're lonely.
**[18:12] Satoru**
They may be trying to
chase the humans out.
**[18:16] Satoru**
They used to live happily
with their friends,
**[18:20] Satoru**
but once the temple was constructed,
the monkeys had to leave.
**[18:23] Mako**
I-It didn't look like they were
trying to chase anyone out.
**[18:26] Haru**
I wouldn't be so sure.
**[18:27] Haru**
Heralds remember their
past, so this can happen
**[18:29] ---**
when you have young heralds
without humans who can see them.
**[18:34] Haru**
There were humans I truly hated...
**[18:39] Gin**
Why don't you ask them?
**[18:43] Fuku**
Let us go!
**[18:45] Mako**
Gin.
**[18:46] Fuku**
We keep running away
but he still finds us!
**[18:49] Fuku**
Why?! Why?!
**[18:51] Gin**
That's a secret.
**[19:01] Fuu**
What? Chase out the humans?
**[19:03] Fuu**
We don't want to do that!
**[19:06] Haru**
Then why are you playing pranks?!
**[19:09] Fuu**
Because the humans who come
here all look so unhappy.
**[19:15] Fuu**
They're always crying and mourning.
**[19:19] Fuu**
It's too much for us to bear.
**[19:22] Fuku**
So we thought we could cheer them
up by scaring them a little.
**[19:27] Fuu**
Was it fun?
**[19:28] Haru**
No!
**[19:29] Fuu**
Plus, that's what Grandpa said.
**[19:31] Mako**
Grandpa?
**[19:32] Fuu**
The herald who used to be here.
**[19:35] Fuu**
But he's gone now...
**[19:37] (Flashback) G**
Fuu, Fuku.
**[19:39] (Flashback) G**
You don't need to be sad if the
other monkeys stop coming.
**[19:43] (Flashback) G**
They've merely been replaced by humans.
**[19:46] (Flashback) G**
Many things will happen
as more humans come,
**[19:49] (Flashback) G**
but all you have to do is smile.
**[19:52] (Flashback) G**
After all, we monkeys bring victory.
**[19:55] (Flashback) G**
If you don't smile, nobody will win.
**[20:00] Fuu**
That's why we want to have fun!
**[20:04] Fuku**
Plus, there's a temple
and graveyard around.
**[20:08] Fuu**
We're going to live a long time,
**[20:10] Fuu**
so we have to watch over
this place for the humans,
**[20:13] ---**
the other monkeys, and Grandpa.
**[20:17] Fuu**
That's our job.
**[20:21] Fuu**
Well, I guess we might have
taken the pranks too far.
**[20:24] Fuku**
We're sorry.
**[20:26] Mako**
But you were trying to
cheer everyone up, right?
**[20:30] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:32] Satoru**
Humans know how to pick
themselves back up.
**[20:37] Mako**
Yep, so you don't need
to play pranks anymore.
**[20:43] Fuu**
What? That's no fun!
**[20:46] Fuu**
We enjoy scaring humans!
**[20:49] Fuku**
It's the most fun we've ever had!
**[20:51] Fuku**
We can't stop!
**[20:54] Haru**
H-Hey!
**[20:57] Sho**
What? Monkey heralds?
**[21:00] Yumi**
You're a big fan of the occult, huh?
**[21:05] C**
But I like the idea that the
gods were playing pranks.
**[21:08] A**
It bodes well for our temple.
**[21:11] D**
I don't see anything wrong with having
a monkey spirit or two around.
**[21:16] D**
We already have plenty
of monkeys around.
**[21:18] Ya**
Is she talking about us?
**[21:20] Dad**
We should be grateful that the gods
**[21:22] ---**
have joined the Buddha
in blessing this temple.
**[21:30] Both**
Bye-bye!
**[21:37] Haru**
I'm worried about them.
**[21:40] Haru**
We should probably check on
them every once in a while.
**[21:43] Gin**
It'll be fine.
**[21:45] ---**
They didn't mean any harm.
**[21:48] Mako**
Shohei-kun's family
didn't seem to mind.
**[21:51] Mako**
That's good.
**[21:53] Satoru**
You're a fool.
**[21:55] Satoru**
They don't believe that heralds exist.
**[21:59] Mako**
That's not important.
**[22:01] Mako**
It's our job to serve as a bridge
between heralds and humans.
**[22:06] Mako**
Still, I thought it was interesting.
**[22:08] Mako**
Fuu-chan and Fuku-chan
**[22:10] ---**
didn't seem to differentiate
between the temple and shrine.
**[22:14] Mako**
The Japanese gods are wonderful.
**[22:17] Gin**
Yeah, the Japanese gods are about
as irresponsible as you get.
**[22:21] Haru**
You should say that
they're broad-minded!

**[00:02] Kiri**
Well?
**[00:03] Hiwa**
Pardon?
**[00:04] Kiri**
I switched to wearing glasses.
**[00:07] Hiwa**
Oh...
**[00:08] Hiwa**
They look nice.
**[00:10] Kiri**
You think so?
**[00:11] Kiri**
They say that glasses make
men look 30% more handsome.
**[00:12] Hiwa**
So how much progress have you made?
**[00:15] Kiri**
But some girls don't want men
to cover up their faces.
**[00:20] Hiwa**
Kirishima-senpai.
**[00:21] Hiwa**
Can you review the new
school club budget?
**[00:25] Kiri**
Yep, looks okay.
**[00:27] Kiri**
I trust you know what you're doing.
**[00:29] Hiwa**
Right.
**[00:31] Hiwa**
That takes care of the club budget.
**[00:32] Hiwa**
Next, we need to budget for
student council expenses.
**[00:34] Kiri**
It seems Hiwako's
changed quite a bit...
**[00:40] (Flashback) Hiwa**
Don't you have work to do?
**[00:43] Kiri**
I liked it when she
was snappy and cool,
**[00:47] Kiri**
but she's even better now
that she's softened a bit.
**[00:50] Kiri**
Oh, you're also cute, Mizuho.
**[00:53] Mizu**
Thank you very much.
**[00:55] Kiri**
So what happened to my proposal?
**[00:58] Hiwa**
What?
**[00:59] Kiri**
For our uniforms.
**[01:00] Kiri**
Come on, now.
**[01:03] Hiwa**
As I've said many times,
we won't be changing our uniforms.
**[01:07] Kiri**
What?!
**[01:08] Kiri**
Hold on, people!
**[01:11] Kiri**
Are you okay with spending high
school in these dated uniforms?!
**[01:17] Kiri**
Girls belong in uniforms that are cuter!
**[01:21] Fuji**
Maybe if we wait a year...
**[01:22] Kiri**
I'll be gone then.
**[01:25] A**
Personally, I'm a fan
of sailor uniforms.
**[01:29] Kiri**
I became student council
president for nothing, then!
**[01:32] All**
*Why did he choose this school?*
**[01:35] Hiwa**
I need to get going.
**[01:38] Kiri**
You're leaving?
**[01:39] Hiwa**
Yes. After all, we're finished.
**[01:41] Kiri**
Then let's go home together, Hiwako!
**[01:44] Hiwa**
There's someone waiting for me.
**[01:47] Kiri**
Hiwako!
**[01:54] Kozue**
Bye.
**[01:55] Hiwa**
Goodbye.
**[01:59] Hiwa**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[02:01] Yoshi**
Don't be. Welcome back.
**[02:06] Hiwa**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Silver Fox

**[04:14] Hiwa**
Thank you very much.
**[04:15] Mom**
Then we'll continue this tomorrow.
**[04:17] Hiwa**
E-Excuse me, Mother...
**[04:20] Mom**
What is it?
**[04:21] Hiwa**
Well, Father's birthday is soon,
**[04:24] Hiwa**
so I was wondering when
he would be coming home.
**[04:27] Mom**
Oh, you're right.
**[04:29] Mom**
He should be back from his
overseas trip next week.
**[04:34] Hiwa**
I see.
**[04:35] ---**
Then I'll excuse myself.
**[04:43] Hiwa**
*Next week...*
**[04:52] Hiwa**
* I hope I can find a*
* good present for him.*
**[04:55] [Messenger] Caption**
You have a new message
**[05:02] [Messenger] Caption**
Look what I made!

Makoto
**[05:37] Yoshi**
Is something wrong?
**[05:39] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[05:39] Yoshi**
Oh. Well, er...
**[05:42] Yoshi**
You've been having fun lately
with your new friends at school,
**[05:47] Yoshi**
but you look subdued today.
**[05:50] Yoshi**
I was wondering if something happened.
**[05:54] Hiwa**
You always know everything.
**[05:56] Hiwa**
There's something on my mind right now.
**[06:00] Yoshi**
If you need someone to talk
to, I'm always available.
**[06:03] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[06:04] Yoshi**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[06:06] Yoshi**
Forgive me for being rude.
**[06:07] Hiwa**
You're not.
**[06:08] Hiwa**
You don't need to apologize.
**[06:10] Hiwa**
Besides, Yoshizumi-san...
**[06:13] Yoshi**
Yes?
**[06:15] Hiwa**
I feel bad about making
you drive me around
**[06:18] ---**
when you're my
father's assistant.
**[06:19] Yoshi**
There's no need for you to feel bad!
**[06:22] Hiwa**
But the school is close enough
for me to commute by bike.
**[06:26] Hiwa**
Though I've never ridden
a bicycle before...
**[06:29] Yoshi**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:30] Yoshi**
Your father has other assistants.
**[06:32] Yoshi**
This is part of my job.
**[06:34] Hiwa**
Your job...
**[06:35] Yoshi**
Er, I mean...
**[06:40] Hiwa**
I'm sorry.
**[06:41] Hiwa**
You have your own reasons
for being here.
**[06:44] Yoshi**
N-No...
**[06:46] Hiwa**
Say, about your offer earlier...
**[06:49] Hiwa**
Would you be willing to listen
to what's on my mind?
**[06:51] Yoshi**
Yes, absolutely.
**[06:53] Hiwa**
My father's birthday is coming up,
**[06:56] Hiwa**
but I don't know what to give him.
**[06:59] Yoshi**
A birthday present for your father?
**[07:02] Yoshi**
Perhaps...
**[07:04] Yoshi**
You could go with something
tried and true like a necktie.
**[07:08] Yoshi**
He wears ties every day.
**[07:10] Hiwa**
A tie...
**[07:12] Hiwa**
I'm not sure how to pick one.
**[07:14] Hiwa**
I don't know my father's tastes.
**[07:16] Yoshi**
Then I can ask my colleagues
if they know anything.
**[07:19] Hiwa**
Thank you.
**[07:20] ---**
It must seem strange that I
don't know my father's tastes.
**[07:23] Yoshi**
Your father's busy, so you
don't get to see him much.
**[07:26] Yoshi**
It's perfectly understandable.
**[07:30] Hiwa**
Thank you for being so supportive.
**[07:33] Hiwa**
Do you have any stories to
tell me about my father?
**[07:36] Hiwa**
You can say bad things
about him, if you want.
**[07:37] Yoshi**
That's not...
**[07:44] Hiwa**
Say, can I open the window?
**[07:46] Yoshi**
Go ahead.
**[07:47] Yoshi**
Let me know if you're going to
study with your friends again.
**[07:51] Yoshi**
Of course, we'll keep it a secret
from your mother and father.
**[07:53] ---**
Our secret?
**[07:54] Yoshi**
Yes.
**[08:08] Mako**
A birthday present?
**[08:09] Hiwa**
Yes, my father's birthday is coming up.
**[08:12] Yumi**
Oh, a present for your dad?
**[08:15] Yumi**
The last time I gave my dad a
present was in grade school.
**[08:18] Mako**
I usually ask my dad if
there's anything he wants,
**[08:23] Mako**
but he always says that
anything will do.
**[08:26] Yumi**
That doesn't help at all.
**[08:28] Mako**
No kidding.
**[08:29] Mako**
Sorry, Funabashi-san.
**[08:31] Mako**
We're not much help.
**[08:32] Hiwa**
It's okay.
**[08:34] Hiwa**
I'm thinking about
giving him a necktie.
**[08:37] Mako**
A tie?
**[08:39] Hiwa**
I asked Yoshizumi-san this morning,
**[08:42] ---**
and he mentioned that my
father wears ties every day.
**[08:45] Yumi**
Makes sense.
**[08:46] Yumi**
Your driver is pretty sharp.
**[08:49] Hiwa**
Yoshizumi-san isn't my driver.
**[08:51] Hiwa**
He's my father's assistant—
**[08:52] Hiwa**
I know, let's ask your driver
to take us shopping!
**[08:55] Hiwa**
As I was saying,
he's not my driver.
**[08:57] Yumi**
Look at this.
**[08:58] Yumi**
There's a new shopping mall
that just opened last week.
**[09:01] Hiwa**
A shopping mall?
**[09:03] Mako**
Oh, I heard about this place.
**[09:05] Mako**
It's supposed to be huge.
**[09:07] Yumi**
It's not nearby, but if we have someone
**[09:08] ---**
to drive us there and back,
it's not a problem!
**[09:11] Hiwa**
Don't make it sound so simple.
**[09:13] Hiwa**
Yoshizumi-san is off tomorrow.
**[09:16] Hiwa**
We can take the train...
**[09:17] Yumi**
We'll be loaded down
with everything we buy.
**[09:20] ---**
Going by car is easier.
**[09:21] Yumi**
Right? Are you coming, Saeki?
**[09:23] Mako**
Yep, you bet.
**[09:24] Mako**
I'm coming along.
**[09:26] Yumi**
See, Funabashi?
**[09:28] Yumi**
There's three of us,
so we should go by car.
**[09:30] Yumi**
We'll help you pick a present,
so ask him if he can drive us.
**[09:35] Hiwa**
Fine, but we'll go by train if
Yoshizumi-san is busy, okay?
**[09:41] Yumi**
Okay, but I'm sure
he'll agree to take us.

Oh, a necktie.

I believe he has a lot of blue ties.
**[09:59] Yoshi**

**[10:01] A**
Oh, don't you need to go

**[10:03] Yoshi**
Oh, that's right!
**[10:05] Yoshi**
What? On Saturday?
**[10:08] Hiwa**
Yes, we're looking to go

**[10:11] Yoshi**
Oh, are you buying a
present for your father?
**[10:15] Hiwa**
Yes, I feel really bad

**[10:20] Yoshi**
No, it's no problem at all.
**[10:22] Yoshi**
I'm happy to be able to help.

Thank you very much, Yoshizumi-san!

I think it does.

That doesn't look too bad, Funabashi.
**[10:54] Yumi**
Bikinis are the way to go.
**[10:56] Yumi**
What do you think about
this one, Saeki?
**[10:58] Mako**
It's a little flashy for me.
**[11:00] Yumi**
This is what you need!
**[11:09] Hiwa**
Which one do I pick?
**[11:11] Mako**
You have a lot of choices.
**[11:14] Yumi**
Hey.
**[11:16] Yumi**
Isn't this one nice?
**[11:17] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[11:18] Hiwa**
U-Um, I'm not sure...
**[11:22] Yumi**
Whoa! 15,000 yen!
**[11:24] Yumi**
That's expensive.
**[11:26] Yumi**
I'll put it back.
**[11:27] Mako**
Oh, Funabashi-san.
**[11:29] Mako**
How about this one?
**[11:30] Mako**
It's really cute
**[11:31] Mako**
And it only costs 2,800 yen!
**[11:34] Hiwa**
Oh, that's nice.
**[11:36] Hiwa**
But...
**[11:39] Hiwa**
Which one do you like, then?
**[11:43] Yoshi**
Oh, your father's main
assistant, Kida-san,
**[11:46] Yoshi**
said that your father wears
clean-cut ties for work.
**[11:50] ---**
Clean-cut?
**[11:51] Yoshi**
And he wears a lot of blue ties.
**[11:56] Hiwa**
In that case, how would these look?
**[11:59] Hiwa**
What do you think?
**[12:02] Yoshi**
Oh, they look nice.
**[12:04] Yumi**
Let's check the price.
**[12:06] Yumi**
8,000 yen?
**[12:07] Hiwa**
That's within my budget.
**[12:09] Yumi**
Huh?
**[12:10] Hiwa**
But which one do I choose?
**[12:12] Hiwa**
I don't know which one
will look better.
**[12:14] Yumi**
We have the perfect model here.
**[12:16] Yumi**
Have him try them on.
**[12:17] Yoshi**
Wait, you mean me?
**[12:20] Hiwa**
Um, is that okay?
**[12:23] Yoshi**
Uh, yes...
**[12:25] Hiwa**
Excuse me.
**[12:29] Yumi**
Well, it seems like a safe
choice for a politician.
**[12:33] Mako**
Yep, what about the other one?
**[12:37] Mako**
This one also looks nice.
**[12:40] Hiwa**
It looks nice, but it seems
too casual for work.
**[12:43] Yumi**
I think both work.
**[12:45] Mako**
Yep, it comes down to which
one you want to give him.
**[12:50] Yoshi**
I agree.
**[12:52] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[12:53] Yoshi**
Your father buys his own
ties to use for work,
**[12:57] Yoshi**
so you should decide what you
want to give him as a present.
**[13:02] Yoshi**
I'm sure that he wants a present
**[13:05] ---**
that his daughter chose for him.
**[13:08] Hiwa**
You're right.
**[13:10] Hiwa**
I understand. I'll go with this one.
**[13:14] Hiwa**
Thank you for all your help today.
**[13:17] Yumi**
It's no biggie.
**[13:18] Yumi**
Let's grab something to drink.
**[13:19] Mako**
Yep.
**[13:20] Hiwa**
Yoshizumi-san, do you have enough
time for us to stick around a bit?
**[13:24] Yoshi**
Absolutely. Take your time.
**[13:27] Yoshi**
I'll be waiting in the car,
so please call me when you're finished.
**[13:31] Hiwa**
Why don't you join us?
**[13:33] ---**
I want to thank you for your help today.
**[13:35] Yoshi**
Are you sure that's all right?
**[13:39] ---**
Look at all the fruits!
**[13:41] Both**
Delicious!
**[13:44] Yoshi**
There seems to be a lot of women here...
**[13:47] Yumi**
Hey, there's something
that's been bugging me.
**[13:51] Yumi**
Why did you choose our
high school, Funabashi?
**[13:53] Yumi**
I've never heard of anyone coming
to our school in a fancy car.
**[13:56] Yumi**
You're smart enough to get into a
school for the rich and famous.
**[14:00] Hiwa**
My mother recommended that
I attend a local high school.
**[14:03] Mako**
We should be grateful to your mom, then.
**[14:06] Mako**
She helped us become friends.
**[14:09] Hiwa**
Yes, you're right.
**[14:11] Hiwa**
I'm very grateful.
**[14:12] Yumi**
This is definitely rare.
**[14:14] Yumi**
It's not easy to find girls
as sorry as you are.
**[14:17] Hiwa**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[14:20] Mako**
Now, now.
**[14:22] Yumi**
But I have to say that
you've really changed.
**[14:25] Hiwa**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[14:28] Yumi**
Remember how you used
to snap at everyone?
**[14:32] Yumi**
You were really standoffish.
**[14:34] Hiwa**
Really?
**[14:35] Yumi**
Totally!
**[14:36] Yumi**
You seriously didn't realize it?
**[14:40] Mako**
I have to agree that you didn't
let people approach you.
**[14:43] Hiwa**
That wasn't my intention.
**[14:45] Mako**
But you've definitely opened up.
**[14:49] Hiwa**
Is that so?
**[14:50] Yumi**
Right? Don't you agree, Driver?
**[14:52] Yoshi**
Huh?
**[14:53] Hiwa**
I told you that Yoshizumi-san is my
driver, not my father's assistant—
**[14:57] Mako**
Huh?
**[14:59] Hiwa**
I mean, he's my father's
assistant, not my driver!
**[15:02] Yumi**
Well, either way, don't you agree?
**[15:05] Yoshi**
Y-Yes...
**[15:16] Yoshi**
She's running late...
**[15:22] Yoshi**
* I have to admit that I was*
* quite surprised the other day.*
**[15:25] Yoshi**
* She was having so much*
* fun with her friends.*
**[15:28] Yoshi**
* She certainly feels like*
* a different person now.*
**[15:31] Yoshi**
* When I first met her,*
* she was almost like a doll.*
**[15:35] (Flashback) D**
Allow me to introduce
you to my daughter.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Hiwa**
My name is Hiwako.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[15:41] (Flashback) D**
Hiwako, this is Yoshizumi-kun.
**[15:44] (Flashback) D**
He's my youngest assistant
and just joined us this year.
**[15:47] (Flashback) D**
He'll be taking care of you.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Hiwa**
Yoshizumi...
**[15:51] Yoshi**
*Uh, that's not very polite...*
**[15:53] (Flashback) D**
I know that you're busy with work,
**[15:56] (Flashback) ---**
but can you take my daughter
to and from school?
**[15:59] (Flashback) D**
Also, I'll need you to submit
a report every day.
**[16:01] (Flashback) Yoshi**
Of course.
**[16:02] Yoshi**
*And now...*
**[16:05] (Flashback) Hiwa**
Yoshizumi-san...
**[16:08] Yoshi**
*She's become a beautiful girl.*

Ten years younger than me!
**[16:15] Yoshi**

**[16:24] Yoshi**
I'll call her.
**[16:30] Yoshi**
Yes?
**[16:31] Yoshi**
Huh?

Hello, Hiwako's driver.

Aren't you the student
council president?
**[16:38] Kiri**

**[16:40] Yoshi**
Kirishima-kun?
**[16:41] Kiri**
So, about Hiwako...
**[16:44] Yoshi**
Do you have business with Hiwako-sama?
**[16:46] Kiri**
Oh, she's not here yet?
**[16:48] Kiri**
Hmm...
**[16:49] Yoshi**
Pardon?
**[16:50] Kiri**
You can leave, then.
**[16:52] Kiri**
I'll take Hiwako home.
**[16:54] Yoshi**
Huh?
**[16:54] Kiri**
Don't worry. I'll make sure
she gets home safely.
**[16:57] Kiri**
Oh, is that Hiwako's phone number?
**[16:59] Yoshi**
Huh?
**[17:00] Kiri**
Excellent. Give it to me.
**[17:02] Kiri**
She always refuses to tell
me her number when I ask.
**[17:04] Yoshi**
Wait!
**[17:04] Kiri**
What's the problem?
This won't cost you anything.
**[17:06] Yoshi**
No! No! No!
**[17:12] Yoshi**
O-Oh, no...
**[17:13] Yoshi**
All of my contacts were in here...
**[17:15] Yoshi**
What's wrong with you?!
**[17:16] Yoshi**
There's no way that I
could give you her number!
**[17:18] Yoshi**
What is your relationship
with Hiwako-sama, anyway?!
**[17:20] Kiri**
Come on, you sound like her father.
**[17:22] Yoshi**
Of course!
**[17:23] ---**
I've been asked by her
parents to take care of her!
**[17:26] Kiri**
You'll protect her
from bad boys, right?
**[17:30] Kiri**
It's not fair for her to
be monitored all the time.
**[17:34] Kiri**
She's in high school now.
**[17:36] Kiri**
She should be allowed to spend
more time with people her age.
**[17:39] Kiri**
Right? You should talk
to her parents about it.
**[17:44] Hiwa**
Yoshizumi-san!
**[17:46] Kiri**
Oh, Hiwako!
**[17:47] Hiwa**
I'm sorry. One of my friends
isn't feeling well!

this is the first time I've met

**[19:51] Hiwa**
Yoshizumi-san, do you know
how to pay your respects?
**[19:54] Yoshi**
No, I don't know the specific details.
**[19:57] Hiwa**
I learned the procedure just recently.
**[20:02] Hiwa**
You go like this...
**[20:11] Yoshi**
Since I'm here, I should pray
for your father's success.
**[20:17] Hiwa**
You don't have to do that.
**[20:19] Hiwa**
You should pray for something you want.
**[20:21] Yoshi**
Th-That's true.
**[20:28] Yoshi**
I know what to do here.
**[20:29] Yoshi**
I bow twice before clapping my hands.
**[20:31] Hiwa**
That's right.
**[20:33] Haru**
What's your problem, Gintaro?!
**[20:35] Gin**
Well, I just thought
it seemed appropriate.
**[20:38] Yoshi**
*Something I want...*
**[20:41] Yoshi**
* Does Hiwako-sama find her*
* current lifestyle restrictive?*
**[20:47] Hiwa**
When you clap your hands together,
**[20:50] Hiwa**
your right hand is supposed
to be a little lower.
**[20:54] Hiwa**
After you've made your
wish, you move it back.
**[20:57] Hiwa**
Did you know that?
**[20:59] Hiwa**
I didn't know until they told me.
**[21:02] Yoshi**
R-Right...
**[21:18] Yoshi**
*She's my boss's daughter...*
**[21:22] Yoshi**
*I pray that*

I wonder where he went.
**[21:43] Mako**
Why are you sitting in the corner?
**[21:46] Hiwa**
Saeki-san, do you have any
charms for driving safely?

Yep.

I might have a cold.
**[22:05] Hiwa**
What? Are you feeling all right?
**[22:07] Yoshi**
Yes, I'm fine.
**[22:09] Yoshi**
We need to get going.
**[22:13] Haru**
I don't get it.
**[22:15] Haru**
His wish was weird!
**[22:17] Gin**
Does it really matter
what he wished for?
**[22:20] Gin**
Don't worry about it.
**[22:22] Haru**
Why can't he fall in love?
**[22:25] Gin**
This is nothing.

there were fox spirits dancing on
the roof of the Inari shrine nearby.
**[01:59] A**
You also have fox spirits here?
**[02:02] Dad**
We do.
**[02:04] A**
Yes, of course.
***SIGN*** I'm Sorry
**[03:53] Mako**
Satoru-kun, I can take it from here.
**[03:55] Mako**
You're gonna be late for practice.
**[03:57] Sato**
Okay.
**[04:00] Haru**
Satoru, it's going to rain today.
**[04:04] Sato**
Really?
**[04:06] Haru**
It'll just be a drizzle.
**[04:07] Haru**
You probably won't need an umbrella.
**[04:09] Sato**
I'll take one to be safe.
**[04:11] Mako**
No way. The forecast said
it would be sunny today.
**[04:15] Haru**
Heh, forecast?
**[04:20] Mako**
I guess I should take an umbrella, too.
**[04:22] Haru**
You can get wet.
**[04:24] Mako**
Haru-chan's so cold to me...
**[04:26] Haru**
Anyway...
**[04:29] Haru**
Why do they always offer tangerines?
**[04:33] Haru**
That's so weird!
**[04:41] Gin**
Hey!
**[04:42] Gin**
Tangerines are hard to find this
time of year, stupid brat!
**[04:46] Haru**
It's weird for foxes to eat tangerines.
**[04:49] Mako**
Gin, don't throw a fit over a tangerine.
**[04:52] Sato**
Come on, Haru.
**[04:54] Sato**
You're not supposed to waste food.
**[04:56] Haru**
Not my fault...
**[04:57] Gin**
In that case...
**[04:59] Gin**
What do you like?
**[05:01] Haru**
W-Well, I like fried tofu!
**[05:06] Gin**
You're just eating whatever
they put before you.
**[05:10] Gin**
I bet you've never tried
anything else before.
**[05:12] Haru**
That's not true!
**[05:14] Mako**
Now, now.
**[05:15] Mako**
Oh, I've heard that
foxes like blue cheese.
**[05:20] Mako**
There was a special on TV.
**[05:22] Mako**
Would you like to try some?
**[05:23] Haru**
Cheese?
**[05:25] Satoru**
That was a special on
foxes in the wild.
**[05:30] Satoru**
Don't feed Haru anything strange.
**[05:33] Haru**
Have fun, Satoru!
**[05:38] Haru**
This one's big.
**[05:41] Mako**
Oh, that's a summer tangerine.
**[05:42] Mako**
Dad never learns.
**[05:44] Gin**
I don't mind it when Tatsuo does it.
**[05:47] Mako**
What? You're really soft on Dad.
**[05:51] Mako**
You always complain
when I give you stuff.
**[05:54] Gin**
Tatsuo is allowed to get away with it.
**[05:56] Tatsuo**
Makoto! You need to get ready
to go or you'll be late!
**[06:01] Mako**
Okay!
**[06:03] Mako**
Dad, Haru-chan likes your
standard fried tofu.
**[06:07] Tatsu**
Oh, really?
**[06:08] Gin**
Standard.
**[06:09] Tatsuo**
You should have said something sooner.
**[06:12] Mako**
I'm off!
**[06:14] Tatsuo**
Be careful.
**[06:27] Haru**
I guess it's gonna rain no
matter how many times I try.
**[06:30] Gin**
That's a tiny flame.
**[06:32] Haru**
Why do you have to be so annoying?
**[06:34] Haru**
I can make bigger flames.
**[06:37] Gin**
A bigger flame will
bring different things.
**[06:40] Haru**
What about you?
**[06:48] Gin**
First of all, you're not
holding your hand right.
**[06:52] Gin**
Want me to teach you what to do?
**[06:54] Haru**
I don't need your help!
**[06:56] Haru**
I'm not going to tell fortunes
to suck up to humans.
**[07:01] Haru**
Besides, you have a giant body and tail.
**[07:05] Haru**
A big flame is nothing special.
**[07:08] Haru**
You need to grow up and act your age.
**[07:12] Haru**
Seriously...
**[07:13] Haru**
A big body with a small heart.
**[07:17] Gin**
Yeah, that's right.
**[07:22] Gin**
It was all my fault.
**[07:24] Gin**
All my fault.
**[07:26] Haru**
Hey! Come down!
**[07:31] Gin**
Go to sleep already.
**[07:32] Haru**
I'm not tired!
**[07:34] Haru**
You're running away because
you can't beat me!
**[07:43] Tatsuo**
Gintaro-sama, Haru-sama.
**[07:45] Tatsuo**
I'll be heading out for a bit.
**[07:47] Tatsuo**
Please watch over the shrine for us.
**[07:56] Haru**
Tatsuo...
**[08:12] Haru**
*It's so quiet.*
**[08:19] Haru**
*That cloud looks like Grandpa Matsu!*
**[08:24] Haru**
*That one looks like Satoru!*
**[08:28] Haru**
*That stupidly large one is Gintaro.*
**[08:35] Haru**
But seriously, I don't get how
he can sleep so much everyday.
**[08:58] Aki**
I'm—
**[09:00] Sachi**
Wait!
**[09:01] Aki**
Hurry up!
**[09:03] Sachi**
Wait for me!
**[09:07] Haru**
More noisy humans...
**[09:12] Aki**
It's ringing!
**[09:18] Sachi**
*I want to sit next to Taiga-kun.*
**[09:22] Aki**
* I want to be in the same*
* group as Taiga-kun.*
**[09:26] Aki**
Sa-chan, what did you wish for?
**[09:30] Sachi**
It's a secret.
**[09:31] Aki**
Why?!
**[09:31] Haru**
Kids these days...
**[09:34] Aki**
Come on! Tell me!
**[09:36] Sachi**
You go first!
**[09:37] Aki**
It's embarrassing!
**[09:39] Sachi**
What do you mean?
**[09:40] Haru**
Jeez! Keep it down!
**[09:42] Aki**
Oh, we need to wash our hands.
**[09:44] Sachi**
Yep, that's right!
**[09:46] Haru**
It's too late!
**[09:49] Yuu**
Hey, Aki! Sachina!
**[09:52] Yuu**
What are you doing here?
**[09:55] A**
We're gonna tell the teacher on you!
**[09:56] Aki**
Yuuya!
**[09:58] Haru**
More noisemakers...
**[10:00] Aki**
We aren't doing anything wrong.
**[10:02] Aki**
We live nearby.
**[10:03] Yuu**
But you're supposed
to go straight home!
**[10:06] Aki**
You're the one who's always
following us around!
**[10:08] Aki**
You probably like Sa-chan!
**[10:10] Sachi**
What?
**[10:11] Aki**
They call people like you "stalkers."
**[10:14] Yuu**
What?! That's not true!
**[10:16] A**
Uh, Yuu-chan?
**[10:18] B**
Is that true?
**[10:19] Yuu**
It's not!
**[10:21] Aki**
It is!
**[10:24] Yuu**
Why you...
**[10:25] Yuu**
Shut up, stupid Aki!
**[10:31] Aki**
Stop it!
**[10:32] Yuu**
Shut up, ugly!
**[10:35] Aki**
Hey!
**[10:36] Aki**
Stop it!
**[10:37] Aki**
That's cold!
**[10:39] Haru**
Th-These kids make me so mad!
**[10:44] Aki**
I'm mad now!
**[10:46] Haru**
Yeah! Make them pay!
**[10:49] Aki**
Stupid Yuuya!
**[10:53] Haru**
Yes! Way to go!
**[10:55] Haru**
That's the spirit!
**[10:55] Haru**
One more time!
**[10:57] Haru**
Don't let that boy beat you!
**[10:58] Yuu**
You're gonna get it!
**[10:59] Aki**
You started it!
**[10:59] Haru**
Make them pay in spades! Keep it up!
**[11:02] Haru**
Yeah, like that!
**[11:05] ---**
There!
**[11:06] ---**
Take that!
**[11:07] ---**
Darn it!
**[11:11] Haru**
Don't let those boys win!
**[11:15] Haru**
Wait a second....
**[11:19] Haru**
How can he sleep through all of this?
**[11:24] Haru**
Hey! Stop it!
**[11:26] A**
Get 'em, Yuu-chan!
**[11:28] A**
Don't let them beat you!
**[11:29] A**
Do it!
**[11:31] Haru**
Get down from there!
**[11:33] Yuu**
Take this!
**[11:34] Yuu**
Dual wield!
**[11:46] A**
Ow...
**[11:56] Yuu**
Uh-oh...
**[12:00] Yuu**
Not my fault!
**[12:02] Both**
Wait up!
**[12:05] Sachi**
A-Aki-chan...
**[12:06] Aki**
What do we do?
**[12:10] Both**
We're sorry!
**[12:11] Haru**
What?!
**[12:13] Haru**
Hold it right there!
**[12:35] Haru**
Wait...
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
**[13:14] A**
John! Why are you barking again?!
**[13:16] A**
There's nothing there!
**[13:24] Haru**
That scared me!
**[13:30] Haru**
Huh?
**[13:41] Haru**
Where am I...
**[14:16] Haru**
I'm lost...
**[14:19] Haru**
And I'm supposed to be a herald...
**[14:21] Haru**
Satoru will be worried
when he gets home...
**[14:25] Haru**
I probably won't be able to divine
the location of the shrine...
**[14:31] Haru**
Satoru...
**[14:34] Haru**
I just noticed that this
is an Inari shrine.
**[14:38] Haru**
Do I spend the night here...
**[14:48] Gin**
Stupid.
**[14:51] Gin**
What are you doing?
**[14:56] Haru**
O-Oh, it's just Gintaro.
**[15:00] Gin**
That's not very nice.
**[15:02] Gin**
I came down here to get you.
**[15:04] Haru**
Weren't you asleep?!
**[15:07] Gin**
It's not possible to sleep
through that noise.
**[15:10] Gin**
And you were the loudest one.
**[15:15] Gin**
Man, don't wander around if you
don't know how to get home.
**[15:20] Haru**
I never asked you to come look for me!
**[15:25] Gin**
Come on now...
**[15:26] Gin**
I didn't have to look for you.
**[15:28] Gin**
The shrine's right over there.
**[15:30] Gin**
You must be blind.
**[15:39] Haru**
Then leave me alone!
**[15:41] Gin**
I wish I could, but I can't.
**[15:43] Gin**
If I don't do something,
it'll only be worse later on.
**[15:49] Mako**
Why didn't you do something?!
**[15:52] Sato**
Ha-Haru ran away again?
**[15:59] Gin**
Come on. Let's go.
**[16:08] Mako**
What are you doing here?
**[16:10] Gin**
Yo.
**[16:12] Mako**
Oh, that must have been awful.
**[16:16] Haru**
I'm gonna make them pay!
**[16:18] Mako**
Well, they're just kids...
**[16:21] Mako**
Oh, I'm glad it didn't rain.
**[16:24] Mako**
I ran back in a hurry.
**[16:28] Haru**
That's weird...
**[16:32] Haru**
Hey, it's them!
**[16:34] Mako**
What's going on, Dad?
**[16:36] Tatsuo**
Oh. Welcome home, Makoto.
**[16:40] Sachi**
Makoto-oneechan...
**[16:48] All**
We're sorry!
**[16:52] Yuu**
We're the ones who broke the dippers.
**[16:56] A**
And we also messed up the fox statue.
**[16:59] Aki**
Sorry, we did something wrong...
**[17:02] Sachi**
But then we ran away...
**[17:04] Yuu**
We won't do it again...
**[17:06] Yuu**
So...
**[17:08] All**
Please don't curse us!
**[17:09] Tatsuo**
What?
**[17:11] Yuu**
Th-That's what Grandma said.
**[17:15] (Flashback) G**
You've angered the gods!
**[17:17] (Flashback) G**
If you fool around in the shrine,
the fox spirits will eat you!
**[17:23] Yuu**
Right?
**[17:29] Tatsuo**
It's okay.
**[17:31] Tatsuo**
The fox spirits won't eat you.
**[17:33] Yuu**
Really?
**[17:34] Tatsuo**
Yes.
**[17:36] Tatsuo**
You shouldn't have broken the dippers,
**[17:40] Tatsuo**
but what's important is that
**[17:41] ---**
you understand what you've
done wrong and apologized.
**[17:45] Tatsuo**
I'm sure the fox spirits
will forgive you.
**[17:49] Tatsuo**
Besides, the fox spirits will be
lonely if you don't come to visit.
**[17:55] Tatsuo**
So please drop by when you have time.
**[17:58] Aki**
I'm so relieved.
**[17:59] Sachi**
Uh-huh.
**[18:02] Haru**
Tatsuo's too soft.
**[18:05] Mako**
Now, now.
**[18:08] Yuu**
Uh, here.
**[18:11] Yuu**
We used our allowance to buy these.
**[18:13] Yuu**
Grandma told us that the fox
spirit here likes them.
**[18:17] Sachi**
They didn't have any tangerines,
so we bought oranges.
**[18:23] Tatsuo**
Thank you!
**[18:24] Tatsuo**
I'm sure the fox spirits will be happy.
**[18:32] Haru**
Forget it.
**[18:34] Haru**
They apologized, so I'll forgive them.
**[18:36] Haru**
Too bad that I hate tangerines!
**[18:42] Mako**
Rain?
**[18:43] Tatsuo**
Oh? But it's so bright.
**[18:50] Aki**
It's a fox wedding.
**[18:52] Sachi**
Hey, why are sun showers
called fox weddings?
**[18:57] Tatsuo**
Well...
**[19:00] Tatsuo**
I've heard that foxes
are having a wedding,
**[19:03] ---**
when it rains while the sun is out...
**[19:05] Tatsuo**
Or that foxes are responsible
for making it rain,
**[19:09] Tatsuo**
but I don't know the real reason.
**[19:12] Tatsuo**
It's a good question.
**[19:15] Yuu**
That's weird.
**[19:16] Gin**
Yeah, it's just something
that's been passed down.
**[19:20] Haru**
Humans shouldn't blame
foxes for everything.
**[19:25] Yuu**
Let's play in the rain
before we go home!
**[19:28] Yuu**
Come on!
**[19:29] A**
Yeah!
**[19:30] Mako**
Make sure you don't get sick.
**[19:33] Aki**
Uh-huh!
**[19:34] Sachi**
Bye-bye, Makoto-oneechan!
**[19:37] Mako**
A fox wedding, huh...
**[19:40] Mako**
Oh, why don't you ask
Haru-chan to be your bride?
**[19:46] Mako**
Since Haru-chan's a girl.
**[19:48] Haru**
Why?!
**[19:49] Haru**
I don't like anything about Gintaro!
**[19:52] Gin**
And I want nothing to do
with this noisy brat.
**[19:56] Aki**
Oh, welcome back!
**[19:58] Sachi**
Welcome back.
**[20:00] Haru**
Oh, Satoru!
**[20:04] Sato**
I'm home, Haru.
**[20:05] Haru**
You're back early!
**[20:07] Sato**
Yeah, we got out of practice early.
**[20:10] Haru**
Satoru, you're wet! Why?
**[20:12] Haru**
Didn't you take an umbrella?
**[20:14] Sato**
Oh, it was a short run.
**[20:17] Sato**
And it was a fox wedding,
**[20:20] Sato**
so I didn't mind getting wet.
**[20:24] Sato**
Since it's like you
were making it rain.
**[20:27] Haru**
Jeez... You'll catch a cold...
**[20:30] Mako**
At least everything worked out.
**[20:32] Mako**
Here are your oranges, Gin.
**[20:34] Gin**
Oranges?
**[20:35] Mako**
They're similar to tangerines.
**[20:37] Tatsuo**
Oh, the rain's stopped.
**[20:40] Mako**
Hey, what are you holding, Dad?
**[20:43] Tatsuo**
Oh, this?
**[20:45] Tatsuo**
It's a present for Haru-sama.
**[20:48] Tatsuo**
You said that she likes fried tofu,
**[20:50] Tatsuo**
but I was thinking that it would
be better with some udon.
**[20:54] Tatsuo**
I'm a big fan.
**[20:57] Tatsuo**
Oh... should I have brought
some hot water after all?
**[21:03] Mako**
Come on, Dad!
**[21:05] Haru**
Are you okay?
**[21:08] Sato**
Haru, stop being so stubborn.
**[21:11] Sato**
You like cream buns, right?
**[21:16] Haru**
Satoru! Don't tell them!
**[21:19] Mako**
What? Cream buns?
**[21:21] Sato**
Yeah, someone made an
offering of them once.
**[21:26] Mako**
Oh...
**[21:27] Gin**
Hey, and you were making fun of me?
**[21:31] Mako**
I like cream buns, too.
**[21:34] Mako**
They're really good.
**[21:35] Gin**
You're just as weird as I am.
**[21:45] Haru**
Take that!
**[21:47] Gin**
Ow!
**[21:49] Haru**
Turn orange, Gintaro!
**[21:57] Gin**
I told you to stop wasting the tangerines!
**[22:00] Haru**
Shut up!
**[22:06] Sato**
A rainbow...
**[22:15] Tatsuo**
That's lovely.
**[22:18] Gin**
The sky is the one thing
that never changes...
**[22:24] Tatsuo**
Oh, what were you saying
about cream buns?
**[22:28] Sato**
Haru likes them.
**[22:30] Tatsuo**
Really?
**[22:31] Haru**
I think it's very cute, Haru-chan.
**[22:36] Haru**
Shut up!

**[00:23] Gin**
You practice hard every day.
**[00:27] Sato**
Gintaro-sama, did I wake you up?
**[00:31] Gin**
Don't worry about it.
**[00:33] Gin**
Where's the stupid kid?
**[00:35] Sato**
She's still asleep.
**[00:37] Tatsuo**
Satoru-kun, breakfast is ready!
**[00:40] Sato**
O-Okay.
**[00:43] Tatsuo**
You already finished cleaning?
**[00:45] Tatsuo**
Makoto slept in again?
**[00:47] Tatsuo**
Sorry about that.
**[00:49] Sato**
It's okay. I happened to
wake up early this morning.
**[00:52] Sato**
Plus, it's only right for me to help out
when you're letting me stay here.
**[00:54] Tatsuo**
That's not right, though.
**[00:56] Sato**
I did all the cleaning back home.
**[00:59] Tatsuo**
Perhaps, but you have kendo
practice and studying to do,
**[01:02] ---**
so you're probably up late.
**[01:04] Tatsuo**
Are you getting enough sleep?
**[01:06] Sato**
I've always been a light
sleeper, so it's okay.
**[01:11] Tatsuo**
I'm very impressed, though.
**[01:12] Tatsuo**
You practice at school and
train at home every day.
**[01:15] Tatsuo**
Makoto told me that you're
going to be a starter.
**[01:18] Sato**
Oh, I don't know yet.
**[01:21] Tatsuo**
I don't know much about
kendo, but I hope
**[01:24] ---**
you're chosen as a starter.
**[01:26] Sato**
Yes...
**[01:30] Tatsuo**
I'll be sure to go cheer for you.
**[01:36] Tatsuo**
Oh, we need to start preparing for
the summer purification ceremony.
**[01:43] Sato**
Oh, I can skip practice for that.
**[01:46] Tatsuo**
Wait, that won't be necessary.
**[01:49] Tatsuo**
You have a chance to become a starter.
**[01:51] Tatsuo**
Makoto and I should be able
to manage on our own again.
**[01:55] Sato**
I've never participated in a
purification ceremony before.
**[01:59] Sato**
It's possible that I'll
only get in your way.
**[02:03] Tatsuo**
I see.
**[02:05] Tatsuo**
Then maybe I'll ask you to help.
**[02:08] Tatsuo**
You can bring your friends.
**[02:11] Tatsuo**
Makoto's planning on
inviting her friends.
**[02:31] Sato**
*Friends...*
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
***SIGN*** It Really Doesn't Matter
**[04:11] Sato**
*I guess I'm too early...*
**[04:22] Sato**
*The door's unlocked?*
**[04:25] Sato**
*Is someone else here?*
**[04:38] Sato**
*It's the captain...*
**[04:40] Sato**
*That sucks.*
**[04:45] A**
'Sup!
**[04:46] B**
Mornin'!
**[05:14] T**
I suppose that I'll have to let you go.
**[05:15] Sato**
I'm sorry.
**[05:17] T**
Well, I know you're in
a unique situation.
**[05:21] T**
Everyone should practice on their own.
**[05:23] T**
I'll be back later.
**[05:24] All**
Yes!
**[05:27] Kosugi**
You're good, but that doesn't
**[05:29] ---**
mean you get to skip
practice all the time.
**[05:32] C**
It sounds like you have family issues,
**[05:34] ---**
but the rest of us get shafted
when you get special treatment.
**[05:40] Sato**
Then I'll quit.
**[05:42] Sato**
Is that what you want?
**[05:43] Kosugi**
What? You mad now?
**[05:46] Sato**
It's not like you guys will
get to be starters if I quit.
**[05:52] Kosugi**
Bastard!
**[05:53] Taisuke**
Okay, okay. That's enough.
**[05:55] Kosugi**
Captain!
**[05:56] Taisuke**
Seriously.
**[05:58] Taisuke**
If you're gonna fight,
put your helmets on.
**[06:01] Taisuke**
Come on.
**[06:02] Kosugi**
U-Uh, well...
**[06:03] C**
This isn't...
**[06:04] Taisuke**
What's wrong?
**[06:06] Sato**
Cowards.
**[06:07] Taisuke**
Okay, Kamio.
**[06:10] Taisuke**
Up for a bout?
**[06:18] Sato**
*Damn, he's too big.*
**[06:22] Sato**
*That's not important, right?*
**[06:31] Sato**
*He's definitely good.*
**[06:42] Taisuke**
That was tough.
**[06:43] Taisuke**
You're really good.
**[06:46] Sato**
* Liar. He was wailing*
* on me the whole time.*
**[06:49] Taisuke**
I always have trouble with
people smaller than me.
**[06:52] Sato**
*Does he have to mention my size?*
**[06:53] Sato**
* It's not like I enjoy fighting*
* people bigger than me.*
**[06:56] Taisuke**
Hey, Prince.
**[06:58] Sato**
Huh? What's that about?
**[07:00] Taisuke**
What? Isn't that what they call you?
**[07:02] Sato**
Who calls me that?
**[07:04] Taisuke**
They do.
**[07:05] A**
It's the Prince!
**[07:06] B**
Wow, he's so small!
**[07:08] C**
Oh, he's with Kinu-chan!
**[07:09] A**
It's even more noticeable when
he stand next to Kinu-chan!
**[07:11] B**
Kinu-chan!
**[07:13] Taisuke**
Prince doesn't seem like the
best nickname they could use,
**[07:15] Taisuke**
since you're a kendo star.
**[07:16] Sato**
They were calling you Kinu-chan.
**[07:17] Sato**
That's an odd nickname
for someone so big.
**[07:22] Taisuke**
Isn't it cute?
**[07:24] Sato**
*This guy is hard to deal with.*
**[07:28] Taisuke**
My family owns a tofu shop.
**[07:30] Taisuke**
My last name is Kinugawa,
which is somehow fitting.
**[07:30] Taisuke**
**[07:32] Sato**
Oh, I see.
**[07:36] Taisuke**
I left my glove exposed,
but you kept aiming for my face.
**[07:40] Sato**
N-Not really...
**[07:41] Taisuke**
I like it!
**[07:42] Taisuke**
You don't like to lose, huh?
**[07:44] Sato**
Hey! Stop it!
**[07:45] Taisuke**
Your bangs are too long,
**[07:47] Taisuke**
and your face is a little pale.
**[07:49] Taisuke**
Are you getting enough to eat?
**[07:50] Sato**
I am right now!
**[07:53] Sato**
What's your problem?!
**[07:55] Taisuke**
Checking for blisters.
**[07:56] Satoru**
It's not necessary!
**[07:58] Taisuke**
I came early today because
I didn't need to help out
**[08:02] ---**
at home as much.
**[08:04] Taisuke**
Are you always here so early?
**[08:08] Taisuke**
Did you think I didn't notice you?
**[08:11] Satoru**
I also finished helping out at
home a little early. That's all.
**[08:15] Taisuke**
Right, you're living
at a shrine right now?
**[08:18] Taisuke**
Sorry, I heard from the coach.
**[08:22] Taisuke**
It's part of being captain.
**[08:24] Taisuke**
You miss practice because
you're helping out?
**[08:27] Sato**
I'm done with kendo.
**[08:30] Sato**
I'm not particularly interested
in becoming a starter.
**[08:34] Sato**
If the other members are
unhappy, I'll quit.
**[08:37] Sato**
It's not like I have to be in
a club to practice kendo...
**[08:40] Taisuke**
You need to fix that attitude of yours.
**[08:42] Taisuke**
It doesn't help when
you're good at it, too.
**[08:46] Taisuke**
I know!
**[08:47] Taisuke**
Prince, are you free after practice?
**[08:49] Sato**
I'm not.
**[08:52] Sato**
And stop calling me Prince.
**[08:55] Sato**
I said I'm not free!
**[08:57] Sato**
And what about your gear?!
**[08:59] Taisuke**
It won't hurt to leave my
gear at school for a day.
**[09:02] Taisuke**
Okay! Let's go, Satoru!
**[09:04] Sato**
Where are we going?
**[09:05] Taisuke**
To have fun!
**[09:06] Sato**
Wait, Senpai!
**[09:13] Taisuke**
Look at this, Satoru!
**[09:15] Taisuke**
What do you think?
**[09:25] Taisuke**
So close!
**[09:34] Kozue**
Makocchi, open wide!
**[09:37] Hiwa**
Ikegami-san, that's bad manners.
**[09:40] Yumi**
What? But it's so much more comfortable.
**[09:44] Mako**
Oh, I heard that Saki-chan is working.
**[09:47] Kozue**
Yep, Saki-chi is saving
up money so she can go
**[09:50] ---**
to school to work in daycare.
**[09:52] Hiwa**
Oh, my...
**[09:53] Yumi**
Daycare? That's perfect for her!
**[09:56] Mako**
Wow, Saki-chan's taking
control of her life.
**[10:00] Yumi**
Planning for the future, huh...
**[10:02] Mako**
Do you know what you
want to do, Yumi-chan?
**[10:04] Yumi**
I'm okay with any job that
lets me touch animals.
**[10:08] Yumi**
So I've been thinking
about becoming a groomer.
**[10:11] Mako**
I see...
**[10:12] Mako**
Funabashi-san, are you...
**[10:14] Hiwa**
I'm going to college.
**[10:17] Hiwa**
I'll probably choose
an all-girls' school.
**[10:18] Mako**
Oh...
**[10:19] Yumi**
Saeki will be taking
over the shrine, right?
**[10:21] Yumi**
And Ashihara will work
at her family's inn.
**[10:24] Kozue**
What? I'm not going
to take over the inn.
**[10:27] Kozue**
My big brother's got
that taken care of.
**[10:28] Yumi**
Oh, really?
**[10:30] Kozue**
I love to eat, so I'm thinking about
becoming a chef or nutritionist.
**[10:37] Mako**
That's great. You know
what you want to do.
**[10:41] Yumi**
Don't you know what you want to do?
**[10:43] Saeki**
Huh?
**[10:44] Saeki**
I know that I want to protect our home,
**[10:48] Saeki**
but I'm not sure what
exactly that means.
**[10:52] Yumi**
Why don't you work as
a shrine maiden then?
**[10:54] Mako**
That's what I wanted to
do when I was little,
**[10:58] Mako**
but our shrine isn't big enough
for a full-time shrine maiden.
**[11:01] Yumi**
Then you can become a bride.
**[11:04] Mako**
What?!
**[11:05] Kozue**
Except that Yumippe will probably
be the first one to get married.
**[11:09] Yumi**
What? No way!
**[11:11] Yumi**
That'll make me a housewife.
**[11:13] Yumi**
I'll be so busy taking
care of my husband
**[11:15] ---**
and kids that I'll be
old before I know it!
**[11:16] Yumi**
I don't wanna think about it!
**[11:20] Hiwa**
That's a biased view, Ikegami-san.
**[11:22] Yumi**
Are you sure about that?
**[11:24] Yumi**
Anyway, this topic scares
me, so can we move on?
**[11:27] Kozue**
Let's.
**[11:28] Kozue**
Ooh, look at this!
**[11:30] Kozue**
They're offering a
limited time parfait!
**[11:33] Hiwa**
It's so big.
**[11:35] Kozue**
Should I try it?
**[11:37] Yumi**
You'll upset your stomach again.
**[11:39] Kozue**
It'll be okay!
**[11:39] Mako**
*Wow, everyone's been*
**[11:42] ---**
* thinking about what they*
* want to do in the future.*
**[11:46] Mako**
*What do I want to do?*

Yep.

Stay for dinner!
**[12:39] B**
Stay for dinner!
**[12:46] ---**
Right?
**[12:50] Sato**
*What am I doing here?*
**[12:56] M**
How is it?
**[12:57] Sato**
Oh, it's good.
**[12:59] M**
There's plenty more.
**[13:01] A**
He said it's good, Nii-chan!
**[13:03] D**
Silly, that crap doesn't taste good.
**[13:08] M**
You should eat this instead.
**[13:14] Tai**
Sorry, that's the tofu I made.
**[13:17] A**
Nii-chan always screws up.
**[13:19] M**
He practices every day and
he still hasn't improved.
**[13:23] Tai**
That's harsh.
**[13:26] Tai**
I'm doing the best I can!
**[13:28] Tai**
Man, stop making fun of your brother!
**[13:35] A**
Look, Nii-chan! A cat!
**[13:37] Tai**
Don't get too close to the river!
**[13:40] ---**
Cat!
**[13:45] Sato**
Uh...
**[13:47] Sato**
This is far enough.
**[13:49] Tai**
Sorry about dragging you
around with me today.
**[13:51] Sato**
It's okay. Though, it was annoying.
**[13:56] Tai**
Thought you might say that.
**[13:58] Sato**
Was this some kind of punishment?
**[14:01] Tai**
Huh?
**[14:02] Sato**
Because I was making trouble.
**[14:03] Tai**
What? I just wanted to hang out.
**[14:07] Tai**
You don't like arcades?
**[14:09] Sato**
I don't.
**[14:12] Tai**
Ditto.
**[14:14] Tai**
But I don't mind dropping
by occasionally.
**[14:17] Tai**
What about
**[14:19] ---**
kendo?
**[14:26] Sato**
Does it look like I hate kendo?
**[14:29] Tai**
No.
**[14:31] Tai**
It looks like you love it a lot.
**[14:34] Tai**
You have more blisters
than everyone else,
**[14:36] ---**
and you use older gear that's
been well maintained.
**[14:39] Tai**
I'd be shocked if you told
me that you hated kendo.
**[14:42] Tai**
Most of the time, you look like
you don't care about anything,
**[14:46] Tai**
but when it comes to kendo,
you get upset about every little thing.
**[14:50] Tai**
And, when faced with a bigger opponent,
**[14:51] ---**
you aim for the face
instead of backing down.
**[14:55] Tai**
It's more fun to battle it out with
kendo instead of in an arcade.
**[15:00] Tai**
If you give up now,
you won't have as much fun.
**[15:04] Sato**
But kendo isn't my top priority.
**[15:09] Sato**
I care most about helping out at home.
**[15:13] Sato**
Eventually, I intend
to become a priest.
**[15:15] Tai**
I've decided to quit
kendo after high school.
**[15:19] Tai**
I still care about kendo.
**[15:21] Tai**
When you think about it,
**[15:23] ---**
you're just grinding
soybeans into paste and
**[15:25] ---**
letting it sit when you make tofu.
**[15:27] Tai**
But if you make one mistake,
it turns out all wrong.
**[15:32] Tai**
That's why I'm having trouble.
**[15:37] Tai**
But nobody said that I have
to quit kendo right now,
**[15:40] Tai**
and I'm having fun doing both.
**[15:42] Tai**
Cat! Come here!
**[15:43] Tai**
You're able to do both right now.
**[15:45] Tai**
Why stop?
**[15:49] Sato**
I used kendo to achieve my main goal,
**[15:56] Sato**
so I think I'm done.
**[16:00] Tai**
Why does that matter?
**[16:03] Tai**
Kendo can come second while you
focus on your top priority.
**[16:10] Tai**
You're free to do everything you love.
**[16:13] Tai**
Be greedy!
**[16:17] Sato**
Kendo can come second...
**[16:28] Sato**
*I see.*
**[16:38] A**
Nii-chan!
**[16:40] Tai**
You're gonna get it now!
**[16:43] Sato**
Uh, I'm sorry about acting
like a brat today.
**[16:46] Tai**
Oh? What's this?
**[16:49] Sato**
And thank you for this.
**[16:52] Tai**
That'll be your excuse.
**[16:54] Tai**
Make sure you use it
correctly, you bad boy.
**[16:56] Sato**
Whose fault is it that
I'm out this late?
**[16:59] Tai**
Drop by again and I'll let you try
some tofu that I haven't screwed up.
**[17:03] Sato**
I can't wait.
**[17:07] Haru**
Satoru isn't home yet!
**[17:10] Haru**
It's already nine!
**[17:12] Haru**
Satoru! Where are you, Satoru?!
**[17:13] Mako**
Calm down, Haru-chan.
**[17:18] Mako**
Oh, he's back!
**[17:21] Haru**
Satoru!
**[17:23] Tatsuo**
Is Satoru-kun back?
**[17:29] Tatsuo**
You were out rather late.
**[17:32] Haru**
Uh, I was hanging out with
someone from the kendo club.
**[17:37] Haru**
I should have called...
**[17:41] Tatsuo**
That's not good enough.
**[17:43] Tatsuo**
You made everyone worry.
**[17:46] Tatsuo**
What should you say?
**[17:49] Sato**
Uh...
**[17:53] Sato**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:55] Tatsuo**
Good.
**[17:57] Tatsuo**
Next time, call and let us know
if you're going to be late.
**[18:00] Gin**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[18:02] Gin**
Why are you so quiet?
**[18:04] Haru**
I'm done.
**[18:06] Haru**
It's not my job to say anything.
**[18:10] Tatsuo**
What?! Tofu from Kinu-chan?!
**[18:13] Sato**
They gave me some to bring home.
**[18:14] Tatsuo**
Oh, their tofu is really good!
**[18:17] Sato**
Is the store that famous?
**[18:22] Sato**
Sorry about today, Haru.
**[18:24] Haru**
I wasn't worried about you.
**[18:30] Sato**
It's been a long day...
**[18:32] Haru**
Satoru?
**[18:37] Mako**
Satoru-kun, are you
going to take a bath?
**[18:40] Mako**
Satoru-kun?
**[18:41] Mako**
Huh? Haru-chan?
**[19:00] Kosugi**
Oh. 'Sup, Captain?
**[19:02] Kosugi**
*Kamio!*
**[19:06] Tai**
Come on, guys.
**[19:08] Kosugi**
Hey!
**[19:09] Kosugi**
Just you wait.
**[19:10] Kosugi**
While you're skipping practice,
I'll become strong enough to beat you,
**[19:16] Kosugi**
so you better not quit!
**[19:20] Sato**
If you say so.
**[19:22] Sato**
Assuming you actually get stronger...
**[19:24] Kosugi**
You really piss me off!
**[19:29] Sato**
That hurts!
**[19:30] Kiri**
Hey, Taisuke!
**[19:33] Tai**
Oh, Seishiro.
**[19:34] Tai**
What are you doing here?
**[19:36] Kiri**
How dare you ignore my presence?
**[19:40] Kiri**
D-Don't tell me that you're...
**[19:44] Kiri**
Kamio Satoru?!
**[19:49] Kiri**
I hear that the girls have
nicknamed you Prince.
**[19:53] Kiri**
No matter.
**[19:55] Kiri**
Because I am King!
**[19:59] Tai**
Oh, this is the student
council president.
**[20:02] Tai**
Have you seen him around?
**[20:03] Tai**
He's got good grades, but he's stupid.
**[20:06] Tai**
That's why I'm his only friend.
**[20:09] Kiri**
Hold on!
**[20:10] Kiri**
When did you and I become friends?!
**[20:12] Kiri**
It's just that we've been
schoolmates since grade school!
**[20:15] Kiri**
Yeah, yeah.
**[20:16] Kiri**
My mom said to invite you over.
**[20:18] Tai**
Every time I go, I have to
eat the tofu you screwed up!
**[20:22] Tai**
Oh, Satoru.
**[20:23] Tai**
Are you missing practice Friday
and Saturday next week because
**[20:26] ---**
something's happening at the shrine?
**[20:27] Sato**
The summer purification ceremony.
**[20:29] Tai**
Summer?
**[20:30] Sato**
There are large festivals
twice a year to cleanse off
**[20:33] ---**
everything that's accumulated
the past six months.
**[20:37] Sato**
If you're interested...
**[20:39] Sato**
Oh, you have practice.
**[20:42] Tai**
Wait, hold on.
**[20:43] Tai**
I think this event is very
relevant for the kendo club.
**[20:47] Tai**
We have a better chance of
winning after being cleansed.
**[20:50] Sato**
Are you a believer?
**[20:52] Kiri**
Wait!
**[20:54] ---**
Is that the event that Hiwako
said she would be attending?!
**[20:57] Sato**
Hi— Yeah...
**[20:59] Kiri**
W-Will Hiwako dress up
like a shrine maiden?!
**[21:02] Sato**
Probably.
**[21:05] Kiri**
Wait, but it's a shrine...
**[21:07] Kiri**
A shrine...
**[21:10] Tai**
When we were in grade
school, we were chased
**[21:13] ---**
around a shrine by a bird
monster wearing a kimono.
**[21:17] Kiri**
Stop!
**[21:18] Tai**
He was traumatized by the experience.
**[21:21] Kiri**
Don't talk about it!
**[21:22] Tai**
We were just kids.
**[21:25] Tai**
There aren't any monsters.
**[21:27] Kiri**
I-I'm not scared!
**[21:29] Kiri**
I just don't like talking
about stuff that isn't real!
**[21:32] Satoru**
*A bird monster?*
**[21:34] Satoru**
*Was that a herald?*
**[21:37] Kiri**
D-Did you just laugh at me?!
**[21:40] Sato**
No, I believe your story,
**[21:44] Sato**
since I can see spirits.
**[21:46] Sato**
Goodbye.
**[21:49] Kiri**
He laughed at me!
**[21:51] Kiri**
It's your fault!
**[21:53] Kiri**
Why don't you say something?!
**[21:55] Kiri**
You're ruining my image!
**[21:56] Kiri**
Hey! Are you listening?!
**[22:19] Haru**
Did something good happen, Satoru?
**[22:22] Mako**
Probably. He's practicing harder now.
**[22:26] Haru**
What would you know?!
**[22:27] Mako**
What?
**[22:30] Sato**
No, nothing happened.

**[02:04] Tatsuo**
Yes, Okawa Shigeto is so cool!
**[02:12] Mako**
Did you enjoy it, Gin?
**[02:15] Gin**
Yeah, the same thing
happens every episode.
**[02:18] Mako**
Dad.
**[02:19] Tatsuo**
Hmm?
**[02:20] Mako**
Gin says the same thing
happens every episode.
**[02:22] Tatsuo**
The same thing happens,
but it's still good.
**[02:26] Tatsuo**
I know.
**[02:28] Tatsuo**
I borrowed the movie,
so we can watch that.
**[02:30] Tatsuo**
Gintaro-sama should enjoy this.
**[02:33] Mako**
Huh?!
**[02:34] Mako**
Don't you need to prepare for
the cleansing ceremony, Dad?
**[02:37] Tatsuo**
I've finished everything
that I can do today.
**[02:39] Mako**
No! You have to go pick
up the thatch tomorrow!
**[02:43] Mako**
Go to bed!
**[02:45] Tatsuo**
You've grown hard.
**[02:47] Tatsuo**
When you were little,
you said that you wanted to be
**[02:51] ---**
my bride when you grew up.
**[02:53] Mako**
When did I say that?
**[02:55] Tatsuo**
This can't be...
**[02:57] Gin**
Hey, don't make Tatsuo cry.
**[03:00] Gin**
It's annoying.
**[03:03] Mako**
S-Sorry, Dad...
**[03:06] Gin**
Well, Zanzo's over,
so I should get going.
**[03:11] Mako**
Gin, you said it's the same thing
every time, but you still like it.
**[03:17] Mako**
A bride, huh...
**[03:20] (Flashback) Yumi**
I'm okay with any job that
lets me touch animals.
**[03:24] (Flashback) Hiwa**
I'm going to college.
**[03:25] (Flashback) Kozue**
I'm thinking about becoming
a chef or nutritionist.
**[03:29] Mako**
I need to worry about what
**[03:31] ---**
I'm doing after I graduate
from high school first.
**[03:33] Mako**
I was talking about it with
my classmates the other day,
**[03:35] ---**
and I was surprised that
they've all given it thought.
**[03:39] Tatsuo**
Is there something you want to do?
**[03:41] Mako**
Huh?
**[03:42] Tatsuo**
I got to choose what
to do with my life.
**[03:48] Tatsuo**
Your mother had a lot
of things she still wanted to do...
**[03:52] Tatsuo**
but she had no choice
but to take over this shrine.
**[03:55] Tatsuo**
She said that she wanted
you to have a choice.
**[04:00] Tatsuo**
So I think you should do what you want,
**[04:03] Tatsuo**
and if you fall in love,
you can get married.
**[04:07] Tatsuo**
I'll support you,
no matter what you decide.
**[04:22] Mako**
Gin, you're still here?
**[04:25] Gin**
Hey, turn the lights off.
**[04:27] Mako**
You were awake anyway.
**[04:31] Gin**
What? You're creeping me out.
**[04:34] Mako**
Hey, Gin...
**[04:36] Mako**
I wanted to become a shrine
maiden like Mom was.
**[04:41] Mako**
But I can barely remember
what she was like...
**[04:46] Mako**
So I think I just wanted to
know what my mom was like.
**[04:50] Gin**
Oh, you want to talk about your future.
**[04:52] Gin**
Humans spend a lot of time
on that topic these days.
**[04:56] Gin**
If you want to know
about Yuko, ask Tatsuo.
**[04:58] Mako**
Dad has a biased view.
**[05:02] Mako**
I was talking to him earlier.
**[05:05] Mako**
He told me to do what I want to do.
**[05:08] Gin**
That's great, then.
**[05:10] Mako**
Say, did Mom want to
become a shrine maiden?
**[05:14] Gin**
Did she want to become one?
**[05:16] Gin**
It felt like that was the
only choice she had.
**[05:20] Gin**
She had health problems and
couldn't go outside too much.
**[05:24] Mako**
Does that mean she never
got to realize her dreams?
**[05:28] Gin**
I wouldn't say that.
**[05:31] Gin**
She married Tatsuo despite the
objections from everyone around.
**[05:34] Mako**
Wait, what?
**[05:36] Mako**
People didn't want Mom
and Dad to get married?
**[05:38] Gin**
Pretty much.
**[05:40] Mako**
I wanted to become a
**[05:42] ---**
shrine maiden because
that was what Mom was.
**[05:44] Mako**
I wanted to know what Mom used to do.
**[05:48] Mako**
I still think shrine maidens are
**[05:50] ---**
special and important
servants of the gods.
**[06:03] Mako**
But it's not the same now...
**[06:05] Mako**
I didn't want to become
a shrine maiden.
**[06:08] Mako**
I just wanted
**[06:11] ---**
to be like Mom...
**[06:17] Mako**
I'm getting sick of
thinking about this.
**[06:21] Mako**
I wish you could divine
my future for me.
**[06:24] Gin**
Hey, don't act like a spoiled brat.
**[06:26] Mako**
You're so mean.
**[06:27] Gin**
Well, I wouldn't be
able to do it, anyway.
**[06:30] Mako**
Really?
**[06:31] Gin**
For some reason, I can't see the
future of someone with the Sight.
**[06:37] Gin**
Well, I don't care to find
out when someone I know
**[06:39] ---**
is going to die, so I'm not interested.
**[06:42] Gin**
It's not very fun when you
know everything beforehand.
**[06:45] Mako**
Oh...
**[06:47] Mako**
That reminds me.
**[06:49] Mako**
Did I really say that I
wanted to be Dad's bride?
**[06:53] Gin**
Yeah.
**[06:54] Mako**
That's cute.
**[06:56] Mako**
I probably told you the same thing.
**[06:57] Gin**
Don't think so.
**[06:59] Mako**
Really?
**[07:00] Mako**
Still, I don't know what to do...
**[07:04] Gin**
Well, it's your future.
**[07:06] Gin**
So do what you want.
**[07:08] Mako**
Come on, Gin!
**[07:10] Gin**
Stop talking and go to bed.
**[07:12] Gin**
Don't you have a busy day tomorrow?
**[07:17] Mako**
Jeez! Stupid Gintaro!
**[07:25] Gin**
Turn off the lights.
**[07:43] N**
* The number you have dialed is*
* not available at the moment.*
**[07:50] Mako**
Man, he's not answering his phone!
**[07:53] Mako**
I haven't heard anything since
he said he was running late!
**[07:55] Mako**
Where'd he go?!
**[07:57] Gin**
Keep it down. And calm down.
**[08:01] Mako**
But it's already noon!
**[08:03] Mako**
He said he'd be back by ten!
**[08:07] Mako**
Gin, can you divine where Dad is?
**[08:09] Gin**
Requires too much effort.
**[08:11] Mako**
What?!
**[08:12] Haru**
More importantly,
**[08:13] Haru**
we need to finish cleaning
up before your dad returns.
**[08:17] Haru**
Look. There are still weeds.
**[08:20] Haru**
You're not gonna accomplish
anything by throwing a fit.
**[08:22] Haru**
He'll be back soon enough.
**[08:25] Haru**
Stop bothering Gintaro-sama.
**[08:27] Mako**
S-Sorry...
**[08:29] Haru**
There's one day left and you still
haven't finished the wreath?
**[08:33] Gin**
Well, we usually take it slow.
**[08:38] Sato**
"Usually"...
**[08:40] Haru**
Satoru, are you okay?
**[08:44] Yumi**
Saeki! Kamio!
**[08:47] Mako**
Yumi-chan! Funabashi-san!
**[08:50] Mako**
Don't you have school?
**[08:51] Yumi**
We skipped out!
**[08:53] Yumi**
Fifth period is study hour
and sixth period is music.
**[08:56] Mako**
Funabashi-san also skipped?
**[08:58] Yumi**
She's turning into a bad girl!
**[09:01] Yumi**
And her reason for coming is naughty.
**[09:02] Hiwa**
Um, I...
**[09:04] Yumi**
Right, everybody's talking
because both of you
**[09:07] ---**
are absent from school!
**[09:09] Mako**
What?!
**[09:09] Yumi**
Just kidding!
**[09:11] Haru**
They're so loud.
**[09:13] Yumi**
So what's this?
**[09:15] Mako**
Oh, this is...
**[09:16] A**
Makoto-chan!
**[09:18] A**
We're almost finished.
Where's the Chief Priest?
**[09:22] Mako**
I'm so sorry!
**[09:23] Mako**
My dad isn't answering his phone!
**[09:26] Mako**
Jeez, where'd he go?!
**[09:29] A**
Now, calm down.
**[09:31] Yumi**
What's going on?
**[09:32] Mako**
My dad went with his friend
from another shrine
**[09:35] ---**
to pick up thatch,
but they aren't back yet!
**[09:37] Hiwa**
Is the thatch for the wreath?
**[09:39] Mako**
Yes!
**[09:40] Yumi**
Wreath?
**[09:41] Mako**
We wrap the grass around
this ring to make a wreath.
**[09:44] Mako**
It's absolutely needed
for tomorrow's ceremony!
**[09:46] Yumi**
Oh, this ring?
**[09:48] Mako**
Anyway, please take a break.
**[09:50] Mako**
I'll get you something to drink.
**[09:51] A**
Oh, thanks.
**[09:55] Mako**
Do we have enough tea?
**[09:59] Yumi**
Saeki! The boss guy
wants to talk to you!
**[10:01] Mako**
Oh, okay!
**[10:03] Mako**
Funabashi-san, can you wait one moment.
**[10:05] Hiwa**
Yes.
**[10:16] Yoshi**
Man, that sucked.
**[10:18] Yoshi**
The highway was jammed
because of an accident.
**[10:21] Yoshi**
Oh, sorry. I thought you were
the girl who lives here.
**[10:26] Yoshi**
Hello.
**[10:27] Hiwa**
Hello...
**[10:29] Yoshi**
Hey, Tatsuo!
**[10:30] Yoshi**
There's a really pretty
girl in your kitchen!
**[10:33] Yoshi**
How'd you get her inside your house?
**[10:35] Tatsuo**
What?
**[10:36] Tatsuo**
Oh.
**[10:38] Tatsuo**
She's Makoto's friend.
**[10:40] Yoshi**
Oh, really?
**[10:42] Tatsuo**
Welcome, Funabashi-san.
**[10:44] Hiwa**
Thank you for inviting us.
**[10:49] Yoshi**
Mako-chan!
**[10:51] Mako**
Oh, Uncle Yoshitomo!
**[10:53] Yumi**
What? Who's that handsome guy?!
**[10:56] Mako**
Jeez, stupid! You're late!
**[10:59] Yoshi**
Sorry, haven't seen you in a while.
**[11:01] Tatsuo**
Everyone, please have
something to drink.
**[11:02] Tatsuo**
You'll filled out a bit
since I last saw you.
**[11:07] Yumi**
What?! That's a priest?!
**[11:09] Hiwa**
I thought you weren't
interested in older men.
**[11:12] Yumi**
Handsome ones are an exception!
**[11:14] Yoshi**
Don't worry.
**[11:15] ---**
I'll take responsibility by
making you my bride.
**[11:19] Tatsuo**
That's great, Makoto.
**[11:20] Mako**
No way!
**[11:22] Yoshi**
Hey, you shouldn't be laughing!
**[11:25] Yoshi**
Mako-chan's like a daughter to me.
**[11:28] Yoshi**
I'm always worrying about her
ending up with some bad apple.
**[11:33] Yoshi**
Looks like I'm too late...
**[11:35] Tatsuo**
Oh, this is Satoru-kun.
**[11:37] Yoshi**
Oh, you're the boy from Kamio shrine.
**[11:40] Sato**
Yes...
**[11:41] Yoshi**
Right, I hear that you also...
**[11:49] Mako**
Jeez! Why didn't you
answer your phone, Dad?!
**[11:52] Tatsuo**
Huh?
**[11:54] Tatsuo**
Oh, it's out of power.
**[11:55] Mako**
Jeez!
**[11:56] Yumi**
Anyway, Saeki...
How about some introductions?
**[12:00] Mako**
Oh, right. This is my dad's friend.
**[12:03] Yoshi**
Oh, I'm Takami Yoshitomo.
**[12:05] Yoshi**
Uh, Funabashi-san?
**[12:07] Yoshi**
Sorry about what happened earlier.
**[12:08] Yoshi**
I was thinking that Tatsuo had
found himself a young lover.
**[12:12] Tatsuo**
Don't be silly.
**[12:15] Yumi**
I'm Ikegami Yumi!
**[12:17] Yumi**
So, are you really a priest?
**[12:19] Yoshi**
Oh, I'm actually retired,
**[12:22] Yoshi**
but I help out when needed.
**[12:25] Yoshi**
Which is every time there's a ceremony.
**[12:26] Tatsuo**
We appreciate the help.
**[12:29] Hiwa**
*His lover...*
**[12:32] Hiwa**
*Stop it!*
**[12:33] Hiwa**
*He's my friend's father!*
**[12:34] Hiwa**
*I'm sorry, Saeki-san!*
**[12:37] Yumi**
So what do you do when
you aren't a priest?
**[12:39] Yoshi**
I own a bar.
**[12:42] Yoshi**
People like the idea of a
bar run by a former priest.
***SIGN*** Gintaro
**[12:46] Yoshi**
We even offer purifications.
**[12:48] Yumi**
That sounds interesting!
**[12:49] Tatsuo**
That doesn't seem right.
**[12:49] Haru**
There are more strangers around.
**[12:51] Yoshi**
It's just for show.
**[12:51] Gin**
That's what happens when
there's a festival.
**[12:53] Haru**
But it's still quieter
than our old shrine.
**[12:57] Haru**
Well, festivals are important,
so we should support them.
**[13:02] Haru**
But is that guy really a priest?
**[13:04] Gin**
You mean Yoshitomo?
**[13:06] Haru**
You know him?
**[13:07] Gin**
He comes every year.
**[13:09] Gin**
Etsuko should be here soon.
**[13:11] Haru**
Etsuko?
**[13:12] Gin**
And there she is.
***SIGN*** Silver Fox
**[13:22] Etsuko**
Honestly...
**[13:25] Etsuko**
Hey! If you park the van there,
nobody else can get in!
**[13:30] Etsuko**
Oh?
**[13:32] Etsuko**
Everyone's here.
**[13:34] Tatsuo**
Oh. Sorry, Sis.
**[13:35] Tatsuo**
I'll unload the thatch now.
**[13:37] Hiwa**
It's his...
**[13:38] Yumi**
Sister?
**[13:39] Etsuko**
Oh, Takami-kun's also here.
**[13:41] Yoshi**
Hello, I'm back again.
**[13:44] Etsuko**
You aren't up to any rogue
priest antics, are you?
**[13:47] Etsuko**
Such as performing
purifications at your bar?
**[13:50] Yoshi**
Th-That's crazy talk.
**[13:53] Etsuko**
Tatsuo, I brought some sake.
**[13:55] Etsuko**
We have a good batch this year.
**[13:57] Tatsuo**
Really?
**[13:59] Etsuko**
Mom and Dad said they'll
be here tomorrow.
**[14:01] Tatsuo**
Oh, I'm sure they must be busy.
**[14:04] Tatsuo**
Thank your husband for me.
**[14:07] Etsuko**
Oh, are you Satoru-kun?
**[14:09] Sato**
It's nice to meet you.
**[14:12] Mako**
Oh, Aunt Etsuko. Let me introduce you.
**[14:13] Mako**
These are my friends.
**[14:17] Etsuko**
Have we met before?
**[14:20] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[14:21] Yoshiz**
Hiwako-sama!
**[14:25] Hiwa**
What's wrong, Yoshizumi-san?
**[14:27] Yoshiz**
You left your cell phone in the car.
**[14:30] Hiwa**
Oh, no!
**[14:31] Etsuko**
Oh?
**[14:32] Yoshiz**
Huh?
**[14:34] Etsuko**
Aren't you Funabashi-sensei's
assistant?
**[14:36] Yoshiz**
Mrs. Toyokura?
**[14:39] Yoshiz**
H-Hello!
**[14:40] Yoshiz**
Allow me to thank you for
your continued support.
**[14:42] Etsuko**
What brings you here today?
**[14:44] Yoshiz**
Oh, I'm here as an escort
for Hiwako-sama.
**[14:47] Etsuko**
Hiwako-sama?
**[14:49] Etsuko**
What?!
**[14:50] Etsuko**
Funabashi-sensei's daughter?!
**[14:52] Hiwa**
Toyokura? What?
**[14:54] Yumi**
Huh? What's going on?
**[14:56] Mako**
Oh, my dad's last name
used to be Toyokura.
**[15:00] Yumi**
Toyokura?
**[15:01] Yumi**
As in Toyokura Brewery?
**[15:04] Mako**
Yep.
**[15:05] Yumi**
What?!
***SIGN*** Toyokura Brewery
***SIGN*** Toyokura
***SIGN*** Toyokura Brewery
**[15:10] Yumi**
Toyokura Brewery is a local specialty!
**[15:13] Yumi**
Even I've heard of it!
**[15:15] Yumi**
Yeah, this is a shock...
**[15:16] Yumi**
You also come from a rich family...
**[15:19] Mako**
No, no. We're not rich at all.
**[15:21] Etsuko**
Please, we're not rich or anything.
**[15:24] Etsuko**
And business has been poor lately.
**[15:26] Yoshi**
Wait...
**[15:28] Yoshi**
The priest is Toyokura-sama's son?
**[15:31] Etsuko**
That's right.
**[15:32] Etsuko**
That boy was supposed to
inherit the business,
**[15:35] Etsuko**
but he fell in love with
the shrine maiden here
**[15:37] ---**
so he became a priest instead.
**[15:40] Tatsuo**
I'm not a boy anymore...
**[15:42] Yumi**
Wow, sounds like a romance novel!
**[15:43] Yumi**
Awesome!
**[15:46] Etsuko**
Anyway, do you have enough
for the offering?
**[15:49] Tatsuo**
I think we need some more dried foods.
**[15:51] Tatsuo**
And something that's more
in season for summer.
**[15:54] Etsuko**
Okay.
**[15:55] Yoshiz**
U-Uh, is there anything
I can do to help?
**[15:58] Tatsuo**
Oh, I appreciate the offer,
but don't you have work?
**[16:03] Yoshiz**
It's okay. My boss is
in Tokyo right now.
**[16:08] Yoshi**
Hey, assistant.
**[16:10] Yoshi**
You should take off
that expensive suit.
**[16:13] Yoshiz**
Yes.
**[16:14] Tatsuo**
I'll lend you some work clothes.
**[16:16] Etsuko**
Okay, we'll let the men do their
stuff while we go shopping.
**[16:21] Yumi**
Yay!
**[16:23] Haru**
Is this really going to work out?
**[16:25] Gin**
I'm gonna take a nap.
**[16:30] Etsuko**
Mako-chan, is there
anything else you want?
**[16:33] Etsuko**
I'll buy you anything you want!
**[16:35] Mako**
Oh, I need some underwear!
**[16:36] Yumi**
Underwear?!
**[16:59] Yumi**
It's finished!
**[17:00] Etsuko**
Good work.
**[17:02] Tatsuo**
Satoru-kun was a big help.
**[17:05] Mako**
Thanks, Satoru-kun.
**[17:07] Sato**
I-It's not a big deal.
**[17:09] Etsuko**
So what do we do for dinner?
**[17:11] Etsuko**
The priests aren't allowed
to eat meat right now.
**[17:14] Yoshi**
Oh, that doesn't apply to me.
**[17:15] Etsuko**
Quiet.
**[17:17] Etsuko**
Thank you, Yoshizumi-san.
**[17:19] Yoshiz**
It was nothing.
**[17:20] Etsuko**
Please stay for dinner.
**[17:23] Yoshiz**
Oh, I need to get going.
**[17:25] Yoshiz**
I need to bring the car
back to the house.
**[17:28] Etsuko**
Really? That's too bad.
**[17:30] Etsuko**
Please join us tomorrow, then.
**[17:33] Yoshiz**
Yes.
**[17:36] Etsuko**
Is this first time you've
seen a wreath before?
**[17:39] Hiwa**
Oh, yes.
**[17:40] Hiwa**
I believe that the summer cleansing
is when you pass through the wreath
**[17:44] Hiwa**
to cleanse impurities
from the past six months
**[17:47] Hiwa**
and protect yourself
from summer disease.
**[17:49] Etsuko**
Ah, you're quite knowledgeable.
**[17:51] Hiwa**
Oh, I'm sorry. I did some research.
**[17:54] Hiwa**
I didn't know anything before.
**[17:57] Etsuko**
I wouldn't expect young people to know.
**[17:59] Yoshi**
The people who come here tomorrow
will be looping around
**[18:01] ---**
both sides in a figure eight.
**[18:03] Mako**
Those who participate in
the June summer cleaning
**[18:07] ---**
have a thousand years
added to their life.
**[18:11] Mako**
They're supposed to say that when
they pass through the wreath..
**[18:14] Yumi**
What does that do?
**[18:15] Tatsuo**
It means that if you go through
the cleansing, you'll live to be
**[18:19] ---**
a thousand years old.
**[18:22] Yumi**
That's a little too much!
**[18:23] Yumi**
We're not supposed to live
as long as the gods!
**[18:25] Tatsuo**
Well, it's not meant
to be taken literally.
**[18:28] Hiwa**
Live to be a thousand years
**[18:32] ---**
old...
**[18:43] Mako**
Yep, that's right.
**[18:46] Mako**
We're asking the gods
to share their life.
**[18:48] Yoshi**
That might be it.
**[19:05] Yumi**
Whoa, what are you writing?
**[19:07] Tatsuo**
This is the prayer that will be
used for the cleansing tomorrow.
**[19:10] Yoshi**
You work too hard, man.
**[19:12] Yoshi**
It's the same prayer every year.
**[19:13] Yoshi**
Why not just use a computer?
**[19:16] Tatsuo**
That would be easier,
**[19:19] ---**
but a priest's prayer is made
on behalf of many people.
**[19:24] Tatsuo**
I want to write the prayer
by hand so the gods hear it.
**[19:31] Both**
You lose!
**[19:32] Yoshi**
What?!
**[19:33] Etsuko**
Well, I need to get going.
**[19:37] Yumi**
Are you staying here tonight?
**[19:38] Tatsuo**
We start early tomorrow morning.
**[19:40] Tatsuo**
Oh, Satoru-kun's using the room
**[19:43] ---**
you used to use, so you'll
have to sleep here.
**[19:45] Yoshi**
What?
**[19:47] ---**
I'll sleep with the teenage girls, then!
**[19:48] Etsuko**
Absolutely not!
**[19:51] Etsuko**
I'll see you tomorrow.
**[19:52] Tatsuo**
Yep. Thanks, Sis.
**[19:54] Satoru**
The bath's ready, sir.
**[19:57] Tatsuo**
Thank you, Satoru-kun.
**[19:59] Mako**
Right, Dad. Go take your bath.
**[20:01] Mako**
There's a lot of people waiting.
**[20:03] Yoshi**
So, how about I wash your back for you?
**[20:06] Tatsuo**
You're scaring me.
**[20:09] Yumi**
Your father and Takami-san
seem pretty close.
**[20:12] Mako**
Yep, they've been friends
since they were kids.
**[20:15] Hiwa**
Oh, when will your father
perform the Misogi?
**[20:20] Hiwa**
Tomorrow morning?
**[20:21] Mako**
Right now.
**[20:22] Mako**
He performs Misogi every
time he takes a bath.
**[20:24] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[20:24] Yumi**
I thought it only counted if you were
under a waterfall or in the ocean!
**[20:28] Sato**
Of course not.
**[20:30] Yumi**
Oh, so you can perform
Misogi in the bath.
**[20:34] Sato**
We had a special room
for it at my shrine.
**[20:36] Mako**
Your shrine's bigger than ours.
**[20:41] Mako**
Gin!
**[20:43] Mako**
Sorry about all the noise today.
**[20:46] Gin**
I've gotten used to it.
Why apologize now?
**[20:49] Gin**
Festivals are also important for us.
**[20:52] Mako**
So, Gin, I'm sorry about yesterday.
**[20:55] Gin**
What's this? Did you already
solve your problem?
**[21:00] Mako**
No... I'll be busy tomorrow, so there's
no point in worrying about it.
**[21:05] Mako**
And panicking won't help
me find an answer.
**[21:10] Mako**
Well, wish us luck tomorrow.
**[21:12] Gin**
I'll do that.
**[21:14] Gin**
Right, tell Yoshitomo to act more
like a priest while he's at it.
**[21:20] Mako**
I'll let him know.
**[21:24] Yoshi**
What did Gintaro-sama say?
**[21:28] Mako**
As usual, he didn't
seem very interested.
**[21:31] Mako**
He said that you need to
act more like a priest.
**[21:34] Yoshi**
That's no good.
**[21:36] Mako**
Oh, right. We have
another fox spirit now.
**[21:40] Mako**
She's called Haru-chan.
**[21:42] Mako**
Hey, Uncle Yoshitomo,
**[21:44] ---**
why did you stop being a priest?
**[21:47] Yoshi**
Why did I stop?
**[21:49] ---**
Because it's not really my thing.
**[21:50] Mako**
I don't think so.
**[21:56] Yoshi**
I'm getting old.
**[21:58] Mako**
You're getting old?
**[21:59] Yoshi**
It's time to go to bed.
**[22:06] Gin**
It's been a while since the last time
I talked to the old Inari-no-Okami.
**[22:11] Gin**
I guess I won't be able to sleep tomorrow.
**[22:33] Mako**
* Tomorrow is June 30th,*
* the summer cleansing ceremony.*

**[00:01] Yumi**
Funabashi, you better not let go.
**[00:03] Hiwa**
Yes, yes.
**[00:05] Ike**
Good morning.
**[00:07] All**
Good morning
**[00:10] Yu**
G-Good, got it.
**[00:14] Ike**
I'll see you around noon, then.
**[00:17] Mako**
Yes, we'll be waiting for you.
**[00:22] Mako**
Good morning, Gin.
**[00:26] Yumi**
Saeki?
**[00:27] Yumi**
What are you doing?
**[00:29] Mako**
Nothing.
**[00:31] Yumi**
I'm digging the whole "early to
bed and early to rise" thing!
**[00:34] Yumi**
I feel so good!
**[00:35] Hiwa**
Except you were the
last one to wake up.
**[00:39] Etsuko**
Good morning!
**[00:40] Hiwa**
Oh, Etsuko-san.
**[00:41] All**
Good morning.
**[00:43] Etsuko**
I see you're working hard.
**[00:46] Tatsuo**
Oh, Sis? You're here already?
**[00:48] Tatsuo**
It's eight.
**[00:49] Etsuko**
Why are you already changed, then?
**[00:52] Tatsuo**
Oh, I wanted to hit the
ground running today.
**[00:57] Mako**
Dad just wants to show off because
so many people are here.
**[00:59] Etsuko**
Hey, Takami-kun....
**[01:02] Yoshi**
I can't do this...
**[01:04] Yoshi**
This is when I usually go to bed...
**[01:06] Yoshi**
I'm about to keel over.
**[01:08] Tatsuo**
Why don't you take a nap?
**[01:10] Yoshi**
No, I'm staying awake!
**[01:12] Yoshi**
I won't let you win!
**[01:13] Yoshi**
I mean, we've got all
these teenage girls here.
***SIGN*** Silver Fox

**[02:55] Yoshi**
Oh, you girls look nice.
**[02:56] Yoshi**
How about I take you all out on a date?
**[02:59] Tatsuo**
You all look wonderful.
**[03:02] Tatsuo**
Oh, right. There's a boy here.
**[03:05] Tatsuo**
A friend of Satoru-kun's
with blond hair.
**[03:09] Mako**
Blond hair?
**[03:11] Mako**
Isn't that Shohei-kun?
**[03:12] Yumi**
Huh?
**[03:13] Yumi**
He's already here?
**[03:15] Yumi**
I told him we weren't
starting until noon.
**[03:19] Tatsuo**
He almost looks like a foreigner.
**[03:23] ---**
A foreigner?
**[03:25] Kiri**
Ah-ha...
**[03:27] Kiri**
Will this really cleanse my soul?
**[03:31] Kiri**
Well, Japanese people have always
enjoyed traditional events.
**[03:38] Haru**
Who is this guy?
**[03:39] Kiri**
So, since my soul is already
clean, what do I do?
**[03:45] Sato**
You can leave...
**[03:48] Yumi**
Huh? It's not Shohei...
**[03:50] Hiwa**
Oh, it's Kirishima-senpai?
**[03:53] Kiri**
Hiwako!
**[03:54] Yumi**
What? The student council president?
**[03:57] Kiri**
Hello.
**[03:58] Hiwa**
Senpai, why are you here?
**[04:01] Kiri**
I came to enjoy this summer
cleansing with you.
**[04:05] Mako**
But the ceremony doesn't
begin until three.
**[04:07] Kiri**
Oh, really?
**[04:09] Kiri**
It doesn't start for
another five hours?
**[04:11] Kiri**
I guess I was too excited.
**[04:13] Yumi**
Funabashi, you should have
told us he was coming.
**[04:17] Hiwa**
But I didn't invite him...
**[04:21] Kiri**
Still, it worked out in the
end since I get to see
**[04:25] ---**
Hiwako dressed up as a shrine maiden,
**[04:27] Kiri**
and I'm being welcomed by a
bunch of cute shrine maidens,
**[04:31] Kiri**
and there aren't any ghosts around.
**[04:34] Mako**
Ghosts?
**[04:36] Kiri**
Oh, just talking to myself.
**[04:40] Haru**
So who is he?
**[04:41] Gin**
Beats me.
**[04:43] Tatsuo**
So he's a friend of yours?
**[04:45] Tatsuo**
Please make yourself at
home while you wait.
**[04:48] Kiri**
Yes!
**[05:06] Yumi**
I'm exhausted!
**[05:08] Hiwa**
You should be ashamed of yourself.
**[05:09] Yumi**
You're too hard on us!
**[05:11] Mako**
Help yourself to the onigiri.
**[05:13] Both**
Okay.
**[05:14] All**
Let's eat!
**[05:17] Kiri**
My grandmother was British.
**[05:22] Yumi**
He's fitting right in.
**[05:25] Mako**
Y-Yeah...
**[05:26] Tatsuo**
Oh, take your time eating lunch.
**[05:30] Hiwa**
Yes.
**[05:31] Yumi**
Oh, where's Takami-san?
**[05:34] Mako**
Not sure where he went.
**[05:38] Aki**
Makoto-oneechan!
**[05:41] Mako**
Oh, Aki-chan, Sa-chan!
**[05:44] Aki**
This is Taiga-kun from our class.
**[05:46] Sachina**
He sits next to me.
**[05:47] Aki**
He's in my group!
**[05:49] Taiga**
Hello.
**[05:50] Yumi**
Wow, cute boy!
**[05:54] Mako**
*Is he really a boy?*
**[05:56] Yuuya**
Hey, Taiga. Why are you
hanging out with girls?
**[06:00] Aki**
Hey, Yuuya!
**[06:01] Aki**
You shut up!
**[06:03] Yuuya**
Taiga, are you sure you're not a girl?
**[06:06] Aki**
Taiga-kun is sweet, unlike you!
**[06:09] Yuuya**
Shut up, ugly!
**[06:10] Ikeda**
Hey, Yuuya!
**[06:11] Yuuya**
Uh-oh, it's Grandma!
**[06:12] A**
Crap!
**[06:13] B**
Run!
**[06:14] Yumi**
We were like them once.
**[06:16] Kozue**
Mako-chi!
**[06:19] Kozue**
Thank goodness...
**[06:21] Kozue**
We finally made it!
**[06:24] Mako**
Kozue-chan, Saki-chan.
**[06:25] Mako**
You made it!
**[06:27] Kozue**
We got lost...
**[06:29] Saki**
She was walking the opposite direction.
**[06:32] Mako**
There's still plenty of
time left, so it's okay.
**[06:34] Saki**
Look! Shrine maiden outfits!
**[06:35] Kozue**
Nice! you all look really cute.
**[06:39] Saki**
Is that your dad?
**[06:40] Mako**
Yep, that's him.
**[06:42] Saki**
Oh, he looks like a nice guy.
**[06:43] Kozue**
It's a real priest!
**[06:46] Mako**
It's not a big deal.
**[06:48] Saki**
It's my first time. Tell me what to do.
**[06:51] Mako**
Sure.
**[06:51] Yumi**
Here, you need to write your
name and age on this katashiro.
**[06:54] Mako**
Then you blow your breath on it three
times to transfer any impurities.
**[06:59] Mako**
You can also rub it against any part
of your body that doesn't feel right.
**[07:03] Kozue**
I know how it works!
**[07:04] Kozue**
My family does this every year.
**[07:06] Saki**
Oh, they come in car shapes, too.
**[07:09] Yumi**
So there's this fee involved
when a cleansing is performed.
**[07:13] Mako**
Oh, it's okay.
**[07:19] Kozue**
Thank you.
**[07:20] Kozue**
Oh, it's the prince.
**[07:22] Kozue**
You scared me.
**[07:23] Saki**
You just noticed?
**[07:27] Sato**
Sorry, I'll be right back.
**[07:29] Mako**
Okay.
**[07:36] Yoshiz**
Hiwako-sama!
**[07:38] Hiwa**
Yoshizumi-san, you made it.
**[07:41] Yoshiz**
Yes...
**[07:45] Yoshiz**
*Wait, this is not good...*
**[07:47] Kiri**
Hiwako, need any help?
**[07:49] Hiwa**
We're good!
**[07:51] Sato**
Senpai, you weren't
joking about coming...
**[07:53] Taisuke**
Wow, you're dressed all in white.
**[07:55] Taisuke**
It's a different look.
**[07:56] Kosugi**
He forced me to come!
**[07:59] Taisuke**
Come on. You should be happy
that you get to skip practice.
**[08:02] Taisuke**
Anyway, here you go.
**[08:03] Taisuke**
I told all of the members to write one.
**[08:07] Sato**
I'm impressed that you
actually pulled it off.
**[08:09] Taisuke**
They were all glad to participate.
**[08:11] Kosugi**
Did we have a choice?
**[08:14] Sato**
And for the fee...
**[08:16] Taisuke**
What fee?
**[08:20] Sato**
No fee, huh...
**[08:22] Taisuke**
Wait, hold on!
**[08:23] Taisuke**
We want to follow the
correct procedure.
**[08:28] Taisuke**
Is 1,000 yen enough?
**[08:30] Taisuke**
Kosugi, chip in.
**[08:32] Kosugi**
Uh, I only have enough
for the bus ride home!
**[08:36] Kosugi**
Is 50 yen enough?
**[08:38] Sato**
I can probably contribute another 5,000 yen.
**[08:38] Taisuke**
Seriously?
**[08:41] Kosugi**
Wait, why do you have that much money?!
**[08:44] Taisuke**
Sorry.
**[08:45] Sato**
Well, they'll be grouped together.
**[08:48] Sato**
It's the thought that counts.
**[08:49] Taisuke**
I promise to physically return the favor!
**[08:53] Sato**
In that case...
**[08:55] Kiri**
Hiwako, why don't you join me for
dinner when you're finished?
**[08:57] Hiwa**
No, thank you.
**[08:57] Sato**
When you leave, take him with you.
**[09:00] Taisuke**
Oh, he's also here?
**[09:02] Mako**
Um, are you Kinu-chan-senpai?
**[09:07] Mako**
I wanted to thank you
for the delicious tofu.
**[09:10] Taisuke**
Oh, it's okay. It wasn't a big deal.
**[09:20] Yumi**
Hey, Saeki!
**[09:21] Mako**
Yes!
**[09:23] Mako**
I need to get going.
**[09:24] Taisuke**
Yep.
**[09:25] Sato**
I'll be right back.
**[09:28] Kosugi**
Dude, that girl's so cute!
**[09:31] Kosugi**
Is she an angel?!
**[09:32] Sato**
What?!
**[09:35] Haru**
Oh, so the turnout's pretty good.
**[09:38] Gin**
Not too bad, I guess.
**[09:40] Haru**
Well, our shrine had lots more people!
**[09:45] Haru**
Is Satoru okay?
**[09:48] Gin**
He looks like he's doing fine.
**[09:51] Gin**
Come on, we have a job to do.
**[09:54] Haru**
I know that!
**[09:56] Haru**
You don't have to pick me up!
**[10:09] Mako**
Uncle!
**[10:10] Mako**
Grandma and Grandpa!
**[10:12] Mako**
Thanks for coming!
**[10:13] Grandma**
Oh, what a lovely little shrine maiden.
**[10:17] Mako**
Please make yourself comfortable.
**[10:18] Etsuko**
You're late. We've
been waiting for you.

**[10:26] Yumi**
And its so good!
**[10:27] Yoshi**
How's business?
**[10:30] Mako**
Uncle Yoshitomo!
**[10:31] Yumi**
You look sharp!
**[10:33] Yumi**
Like a completely different
person from this morning!
**[10:35] Mako**
Where'd you go?
**[10:36] Yoshi**
Well...
**[10:38] Mako**
And is it almost time?!
**[10:42] Mako**
Wait, Dad hasn't gotten changed yet?!
**[10:45] Yoshi**
It'll be fine! Don't
trip over yourself!
**[10:46] Mako**
Come on, Dad!
**[10:52] Yoshi**
But she looks just like Yuu-chan now...
**[10:57] Yumi**
Saeki's mom?
**[10:58] Yoshi**
Yes, but Yuu-chan's hair
was longer and black.
**[11:04] Yumi**
Are you married, Takami-san?
**[11:07] Yoshi**
Nope. Sadly, I'm still looking
for a wife at this age.
**[11:12] Yumi**
But I'd expect women
to be all over you.
**[11:13] Yumi**
Are priests not very popular?
**[11:16] Yoshi**
No, I was very popular.
**[11:19] Yumi**
So what's the problem?
**[11:22] Yoshi**
Priests appear to be special.
**[11:27] Yoshi**
They're popular, but people
tend to keep their distance.
**[11:31] Yoshi**
We're the same as
everyone else, though.
**[11:35] Yumi**
Oh...
**[11:37] Yoshi**
However, people still admire priests,
and that admiration is important,
**[11:42] Yoshi**
but they don't take it any farther.
**[11:47] Yumi**
That's probably why you
quit being a priest!
**[11:50] Yumi**
Some woman told you that you
didn't look like a priest!
**[11:53] Yoshi**
Well, that might be it, to be honest...
**[11:56] Yumi**
You hear that?
**[11:58] Yumi**
If you keep chasing after
him, you'll get burned.
**[12:02] Hiwa**
I'm not...
**[12:02] Shohei**
Yo!
**[12:03] Yumi**
Hey, Shohei!
**[12:05] Yumi**
You're late!
**[12:11] Etsuko**
Takami-kun, stop fooling
around and go get changed.
**[12:15] Yoshi**
Yes, yes...
**[12:18] Etsuko**
Stop teasing those girls.
**[12:21] Yoshi**
Oh, you were watching?
**[12:23] Yoshi**
I wish I had a teenage
girl chasing after me.
**[12:28] Etsuko**
Honestly, you never grow up...
**[12:30] Etsuko**
You need to get married!
**[12:32] Yoshi**
I was married once, but...
**[12:41] Tatsuo**
There are a lot of people today.
**[12:43] Tatsuo**
I'm getting nervous.
**[12:45] Etsuko**
Honestly, pull yourself together.
**[12:48] Etsuko**
There, you look okay.
**[12:49] Etsuko**
Get going.
**[12:56] Mako**
Dad!
**[12:58] Mako**
You look cool!
**[13:00] Tatsuo**
Thank you, Makoto.
**[13:16] Tatsuo**
We will now perform the
Summer Cleansing Ceremony.
**[13:20] Mako**
Come on! Over here, guys!
**[13:22] Yumi**
Huh? We can join in?
**[13:24] Etsuko**
Yes, we can do this together.
**[14:26] A**
Those who participate
in the June Summer Cleansing
**[14:38] ---**
have a thousand years added to their life.
**[14:47] A**
Those who participate in the
June Summer Cleansing...
**[14:56] Etsuko**
Oh, if you're underage,
you only get to take a sip.
**[14:59] Kiri**
Hiwako, are you busy
after this is over?
**[15:03] Mako**
You take the thatch and keep
wrapping it around to form a ring,
**[15:07] Mako**
then you hang it on your door
and pray for good health.
**[15:12] Kiri**
Hiwako! Hiwako!
**[15:14] Taisuke**
We're leaving!
**[15:15] Saki**
See you on Monday!
**[15:17] Kozue**
Bye-bye!
**[15:18] All**
Bye-bye!
**[15:20] Yoshiz**
I'll be back later to pick you up.
**[15:24] Hiwa**
Yes.
**[15:27] Mako**
Funabashi-san, you don't look too good.
**[15:29] Mako**
Are you tired?
**[15:30] Hiwa**
I feel fine.
**[15:32] Yumi**
Saeki, is there something left?
**[15:35] Mako**
There's the banquet.
**[15:37] Mako**
Everyone shares the offerings
that were made to the gods.
**[15:40] Mako**
It's basically a feast.
**[15:42] Yumi**
Sounds great!
**[15:44] Mako**
But first, we need to cast the
katashiro into the river.
**[15:47] Mako**
Wanna come?
**[15:48] Yumi**
That sounds fun! Let's go, Funabashi!
**[15:51] Hiwa**
Yes!
**[15:52] Shohei**
What do I do?
**[15:54] Yumi**
Why don't you leave?
**[16:10] Yumi**
Feels so good!
**[16:21] Mako**
Satoru-kun.
**[16:24] Yumi**
Huh? Saeki?
**[16:27] Mako**
I like to watch from above.
**[16:35] Mako**
Gin.
**[16:36] Gin**
Yo.
**[16:38] Haru**
Satoru!
**[16:41] Mako**
How did it go for you?
**[16:43] Gin**
What do you mean?
**[16:44] Mako**
Well, aren't you always inside
the shrine during festivals?
**[16:49] Mako**
Are you talking to the gods?
**[16:51] Gin**
Yeah, something like that.
**[16:53] Mako**
Oh, I don't think I've ever asked.
**[16:56] Mako**
What is Uka-no-Mitama like?
**[17:01] Gin**
So, the way it works is
**[17:04] Gin**
the gods never stay in one place
**[17:07] ---**
and leave as soon as the festival ends.
**[17:10] Satoru**
That's what we were taught.
**[17:14] Gin**
Yeah.
**[17:16] Gin**
It doesn't matter if the
gods are around or not.
**[17:19] Gin**
In your world, it only matters
if you believe in them or not.
**[17:23] Gin**
It's all about possibility.
**[17:25] Gin**
They're there if you believe in them.
**[17:27] Gin**
Shouldn't that be good enough?
**[17:29] Gin**
But since you can see heralds,
**[17:31] ---**
you're more likely to
believe in the gods.
**[17:35] Sato**
Oh.
**[17:36] Mako**
That's right.
**[17:38] Mako**
But it's funny...
**[17:41] Mako**
Festivals have been happening
for a long time,
**[17:44] Mako**
bringing people together,
**[17:47] Mako**
and you've been there to watch over us.
**[17:51] Mako**
You'll continue to be there,
**[17:53] Mako**
so we're all tied together.
**[17:57] Mako**
Those who participate in
the June Summer Cleansing
**[18:01] ---**
have a thousand years
added to their life.
**[18:06] Mako**
If I could live to be a thousand,
I'd get to be with you forever.
**[18:13] Gin**
Don't be crazy.
**[18:15] Gin**
You'll be all withered up before then.
**[18:20] Gin**
Well, I'll be with you 'til the end.
**[18:24] Mako**
Jeez, don't treat me like a kid!
**[18:27] Gin**
As far as I'm concerned,
Tatsuo and Yoshitomo are also kids.
**[18:31] Mako**
Right... It's my turn now...
**[18:39] (Flashback) Mako**
Hey, Gintaro.
**[18:40] (Flashback) ---**
When I grow up,
I'm going to be Dad's bride.
**[18:44] (Flashback) Gin**
That's nice.
**[18:46] (Flashback) Mako**
Don't be jealous.
**[18:48] (Flashback) Mako**
It's the only way.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Mako**
You're a fox spirit,
so I can't marry you.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Mako**
Dad is the chief priest here,
so he'll always be around.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Mako**
So I'll just marry Dad instead.
**[19:03] (Flashback) Gin**
Yeah, yeah. Whatever you want.
**[19:08] (Flashback) Mako**
Then I get to be with you forever.
**[19:16] Mako**
How could I forget?
**[19:19] Mako**
Gin!
**[19:20] Gin**
What is it?
**[19:21] Mako**
I want to protect the place that serves
**[19:24] ---**
as a link and brings everyone together.
**[19:30] Mako**
So, Gin!
**[19:33] Mako**
Promise! You have to stick with me!
**[19:36] Gin**
Wh-What's this about?
**[19:37] Mako**
What? This is a pinky swear.
**[19:40] Gin**
I already made a promise.
**[19:43] Mako**
Jeez... Come on!
**[19:49] Mako**
It won't work! Your hand's too big!
**[19:52] Mako**
And which one's your pinky?
**[19:54] Gin**
Stop complaining.
**[19:57] Mako**
Come on, Gin.
**[19:58] Mako**
Everybody's here for
the Summer Cleansing.
**[20:01] Mako**
You should greet your friends.
**[20:05] Gin**
What? I don't have any friends.
**[20:07] Mako**
Huh? What are you are talking about?
**[20:10] Mako**
Humans and gods get together
a few times every year,
**[20:14] Mako**
so heralds should do the same.
**[20:17] Mako**
There's Saimaru-san,
Utamaru-san, and the turtle.
**[20:20] Mako**
There's also Fuu-chan and Fuku-chan.
**[20:22] Gin**
Sounds like a pain.
**[20:24] Mako**
Jeez. Kinjiro probably left because
you were always like this!
**[20:28] Gin**
R-Really?
**[20:31] Mako**
Come on!
**[20:32] Gin**
Fine, fine. I'll go!
**[20:35] Haru**
Wait, why do I have to come?!
**[20:37] Gin**
See you later.
**[20:43] Mako**
There they go.
**[20:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:54] Yumi**
Saeki! Can you see what
they're doing from here?
**[20:56] Mako**
Yep.
**[20:59] Yumi**
Look how far they're going!
**[21:29] Sato**
Good thing the weather's nice.
**[21:31] Mako**
Yep, summer's here.
**[21:34] Sato**
Yeah.
**[21:41] Mako**
My home is a small Inari shrine
**[21:43] ---**
that's been around since the Edo period.
**[21:45] Mako**
Our shrine is dedicated to the god
of agriculture, Uka-no-Mitama.

**[22:02] Mako**
If you happen to be in the area,
please stop by Saeki Shrine.
**[22:08] Mako**
You might run into my
father, the relaxed priest
**[22:11] Mako**
or a small and energetic fox spirit
**[22:15] Mako**
and a large, very lazy
and gruff fox spirit.
**[22:27] Mako**
All of us will be here waiting for you.
