[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    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.

    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!

    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!

    What's wrong, John?
[12:53] A
    What are you barking at?
[12:56] Gin
    Wh-What's this?

    Actually, there's no need
    for me to avoid those.

    Oh.

[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.
