SIGN    Meiji Tokyo Renka
[01:32] Mei
    E-Excuse me!
[01:34] Mei
    Where are we going?
[01:35] Otoyakko
    Just be quiet and come with me.
[01:37] Otoyakko
    You want to become a woman, right?
[01:38] Mei
    I-I do!
[01:39] Akiko
    My hair is going to be a mess.
[01:41] Akiko
    My hair is a mess.
[01:43] Akiko
    A mess, a mess, my hair is a mess!
SIGN    Geisha House
[01:45] Otoyakko
    Okay, we're here.
[01:46] Otoyakko
    I'm back. I will be in my room.
[01:49] Proprietress
    Sure. You have a guest?
[01:50] Otoyakko
    Something like that.
[01:54] Otoyakko
    Now, my room is up there. Go on ahead.
[01:57] Mei
    O-Okay. Pardon my intrusion.
[02:02] Otoyakko
    Stop dawdling already, come on.
[02:05] Otoyakko
    This is my room.
[02:06] Otoyakko
    Welcome to the best geisha
    house in Kagurazaka.
[02:09] Mei
    Huh?
[02:10] Mei
    Geisha house?
SIGN    Geisha House
[02:12] Mei
    What kind of house is that?
[02:14] Otoyakko
    What? You've never heard of a geisha house?
[02:17] Mei
    No, I only recently came to this
    time period... I mean, to Tokyo.
[02:21] Otoyakko
    I see. So that's why...
[02:24] Mei
    Why, what?
[02:28] Otoyakko
    This is a boarding house for girls who
    have gathered from all over Japan to study
[02:32] Otoyakko
    tea ceremonies, flower arranging,
    shamisen, taiko, singing, and dancing.
[02:37] Mei
    And you learned how to do
    those things as well?
[02:40] Otoyakko
    That is correct.
[02:41] Mei
    So if I practice those things here too,
[02:44] Mei
    will I be able to become like a
    lady from a noble family?
[02:46] Otoyakko
    Of course!
[02:48] Otoyakko
    Because women and ghosts
    can turn into anything.
[02:52] Gei
    G-Ghosts?
[02:53] Otoyakko
    As long as you have the determination,
[02:55] Otoyakko
    even you can become the daughter of a
    noble family or the best geisha in Japan.
[03:00] Mei
    I could? You mean it?
[03:02] Otoyakko
    Yes. How about it?
[03:04] Otoyakko
    Would you like me to train you?
[03:06] Mei
    Yes! Please make me into a
    fully-fledged ideal Japanese woman!
[03:11] Otoyakko
    This is going to be a long road...
SIGN    The Long Road to Becoming a Fiancée
[03:24] Otoyakko
    First of all, you have no sex appeal.
[03:26] Mei
    Yes, ma'am.
[03:27] Otoyakko
    And your demeanor is unrefined.
[03:30] Mei
    Yes, ma'am.
[03:30] Otoyakko
    You're not even wearing your kimono properly.
[03:32] Mei
    Yes, ma'am.
[03:33] Otoyakko
    How you remove your shoes
[03:34] Otoyakko
    and how you climb the
    stairs are unacceptable.
[03:37] Otoyakko
    And you're utterly terrible
    at opening sliding doors.
[03:41] Mei
    I-I'm that bad?
[03:42] Otoyakko
    A young lady from a noble family learns the art of
    serving tea and arranging flowers from a young age
[03:47] Otoyakko
    and naturally acquires the
    knowledge of proper etiquette.
[03:50] Otoyakko
    Trying to make you into a lady overnight
    is going to be a challenge.
[03:54] Mei
    Still, I want to become a more
    refined person, no matter what!
[03:58] Mei
    I want to be a beautiful and wonderful
    woman like you, Otoyakko-san.
[04:02] Otoyakko
    You do know how to flatter me.
[04:04] Otoyakko
    I certainly can't say no to that.
[04:07] Otoyakko
    I, your mentor, will begin drumming what it
    means to be ladylike into you without delay.
[04:12] Mei
    Yes, ma'am!
[04:13] Mei
    Thank you for taking care of me.
[04:15] Otoyakko
    Of course. Now then, take off your clothes.
[04:17] Mei
    Huh?
[04:18] Otoyakko
    Don't just sit there looking dumb,
     take it off lickety-split!
[04:20] Mei
    Lickety-split?
[04:21] Otoyakko
    Quickly, now!
[04:21] Mei
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[04:26] Otoyakko
    Don't take off that part!
[04:28] Mei
    Eh?
[04:29] Otoyakko
    G-Goodness, forgive me.
[04:30] Otoyakko
    I have a bad habit of scolding
    newcomers. It just slipped out.
[04:33] Otoyakko
    A woman from Hakata shouldn't
    speak so rudely.
[04:38] Otoyakko
    Now then, before you put on your
    kimono you need to sit here.
[04:42] Otoyakko
    Let's start by focusing on
    your looks for a moment.
[04:45] Mei
    My looks?
[04:46] Otoyakko
    Before practice or going out,
    a woman prepares herself
[04:48] Otoyakko
    by sitting before a mirror, like this,
     looking at herself and chanting,
[04:51] Otoyakko
    "Make me beautiful, make me beautiful,"
    as if casting a spell.
[04:55] Mei
    Oh, that makes sense.
[04:58] Mei
    Make me beautiful, make me beautiful,
[05:01] Mei
    make me beautiful.
[05:05] Otoyakko
    You're really putting your spirit into it.
[05:07] Otoyakko
    May I ask the reason why you
    are so focused on all of this?
[05:12] Mei
    Of course.
[05:13] Mei
    There's someone who has
    been looking after me,
[05:16] Mei
    and I need to make myself beautiful for him.
[05:21] Mei
    He has been very kind to me,
[05:25] Mei
    and I don't want others to think
    it's strange if I'm by his side.
[05:31] Otoyakko
    You're in love.
[05:32] Mei
    Eh?
[05:33] Otoyakko
    Don't move, now.
[05:34] Mei
    Sorry...
[05:35] Otoyakko
    Perfect.
[05:36] Otoyakko
    I don't mind women like you.
[05:39] Mei
    But I don't know what I'm supposed to do...
[05:43] Otoyakko
    Turn and look at me.
[05:46] Otoyakko
    Ghosts transform with spiritual power,
    while women transform with make-up.
[06:03] Mei
    Hello?
[06:06] Otoyakko
    This will be the real test.
[06:10] Otoyakko
    Try putting this kimono on yourself.
[06:12] Mei
    Okay.
[06:14] Mei
    Let's see...
[06:15] Mei
    This cord ties here like this...
[06:19] Otoyakko
    This is rather hopeless.
[06:21] Mei
    All done!
[06:22] Otoyakko
    Zero points!
[06:23] Mei
    Wha?!
[06:24] Otoyakko
    Pay attention.
[06:25] Otoyakko
    First, your under collar is showing too much.
[06:26] Otoyakko
    It's open too wide and
    needs to be more modest.
[06:28] Mei
    Under collar?
[06:29] Otoyakko
    The area here where you collars overlap.
[06:32] Otoyakko
    And don't pull your inner collar so tightly.
[06:34] Otoyakko
    It's stylish to pull it back
    about the width of a fist.
[06:37] Otoyakko
    This way you wear comfortably wear it open.
[06:40] Mei
    Inner collar?
[06:41] Otoyakko
    "Inner" refers to the back collar area here.
[06:43] Otoyakko
    You don't even know that?
[06:45] Mei
    You're right.
[06:46] Mei
    Your collar is open
    really wide, Otoyakko-san!
[06:49] Otoyakko
    That's because I'm emphasizing my allure.
[06:52] Otoyakko
    It's not wise for you to imitate me,
    since you're trying to become a lady.
[06:55] Otoyakko
    You'll be seen as vulgar
    if you're not careful.
[06:58] Mei
    So that's what it would mean?
    This is so hard.
[07:01] Otoyakko
    Gentlemen can tell a woman's upbringing
    from one look at how she wears her kimono,
[07:06] Otoyakko
    so you must take care.
[07:08] Mei
    I will keep that in mind.
[07:10] Otoyakko
    Now then, your hem.
[07:12] Otoyakko
    You have it pulled up so
    high you look like a child.
[07:15] Mei
    Oh, okay. I thought I would
    trip if it was too long.
[07:18] Otoyakko
    That's because you haven't
    learned how to move properly.
[07:21] Otoyakko
    The hem needs to be just a
    bit longer than you think,
[07:23] Otoyakko
    and having just the slightest hint
    of the ankles showing is best.
[07:28] Otoyakko
    It seems like everything impresses you,
[07:31] Otoyakko
    but why hasn't your sweetheart
    said anything about any of this?
[07:35] Mei
    Well, I get the sense that he's not
    really concerned about such things.
[07:40] Otoyakko
    I would think if a man wanted his woman to
    be beautiful, he'd say a thing or two about it.
[07:45] Mei
    N-No, I'm not his woman
    or anything like that.
[07:48] Otoyakko
    Nevermind that. Try walking around a bit.
[07:51] Mei
    Eh? Uh... huh? Walk around?
[07:53] Mei
    Like this?
[07:54] Otoyakko
    Hey! Think about what you're doing!
[07:56] Otoyakko
    Your kimono will come apart if you walk like that!
[08:02] Otoyakko
    This will require slightly
    more drastic measures.
[08:05] Otoyakko
    We're going to drill this relentlessly.
[08:07] Mei
    Yes, ma'am!
[08:08] Otoyakko
    Straighten your neck and back!
[08:10] Otoyakko
    Relax your shoulders a bit
    and draw them back slightly.
[08:14] Otoyakko
    Too much!
[08:16] Otoyakko
    Don't point your toes out.
[08:18] Otoyakko
    Shorten your stride so you don't
    mess up your hem when you walk.
[08:22] Otoyakko
    Don't walk like a baby chick, either!
[08:25] Otoyakko
    When sitting, slide your hand under
    your knee so the hem folds neatly.
[08:30] Otoyakko
    Try again!
[08:32] Mei
    Yes, ma'am!
[08:32] Otoyakko
    What are you, a roly-poly toy?
[08:35] Otoyakko
    When you go to reach for something,
    gently hold onto your sleeve.
[08:38] Mei
    Got it.
[08:40] Otoyakko
    You shouldn't be able to see your arm!
[08:43] Otoyakko
    Back!
[08:43] Otoyakko
    Shoulders!
[08:44] Otoyakko
    Hem!
[08:44] Otoyakko
    Sleeve!
[08:45] Otoyakko
    Neck!
[08:45] Otoyakko
    Arms!
[08:46] Otoyakko
    Voice!
[08:46] Otoyakko
    Face!
[08:47] Mei
    Huh? Face?
[08:49] Otoyakko
    In all things...
[08:51] Otoyakko
    Do not hesitate! Do not be fazed!
     Be dignified! Graceful! And refined!
[08:54] Mei
    So strict!
[08:56] Otoyakko
    We're not done!
[09:01] Mei
    I had no idea becoming a
    lady would be this hard.
[09:04] Otoyakko
    Beauty isn't won in a day.
[09:07] Proprietress
    Otoyakko.
[09:09] Proprietress
    It is time for supper.
[09:11] Proprietress
    You should have something to eat
    before going to the dinner party.
[09:13] Otoyakko
    Perfect timing, Mother.
[09:15] Otoyakko
    Please give her one of the
    grilled fish from earlier.
[09:18] Proprietress
    Yes, of course.
[09:21] Mei
    You don't have to feed me dinner!
[09:26] Otoyakko
    It's no trouble at all.
[09:27] Otoyakko
    Besides, I'm not exactly
    treating you to dinner.
[09:30] Mei
    Huh?
[09:33] Otoyakko
    Now, go on and eat.
[09:35] Mei
    Are you sure?
[09:37] Mei
    Thank you for the food!
[09:39] Otoyakko
    You idiot!
[09:42] Otoyakko
    Don't stab your chopsticks in so deep!
[09:45] Otoyakko
    When children from good families eat,
[09:47] Otoyakko
    only three-fifths of the chopstick
    tip will be sullied.
[09:49] Mei
    That's all?
[09:51] ---
    That's all.
[09:52] Otoyakko
    They also eat elegantly and beautifully
     without making a sound.
[09:56] Otoyakko
    Now, please eat.
[09:59] Mei
    T-Thank you for the food.
[10:07] Mei
    It's delicious!
[10:09] Mei
    Training is delicious!
[10:11] Otoyakko
    Your training to become
    a lady has only just begun.
[10:15] Otoyakko
    Come here again tomorrow,
    and I will train you intensely.
[10:19] Mei
    Thank you so much!
[10:20] Otoyakko
    Oh, but in exchange,
[10:22] Otoyakko
    do not tell anyone about me
    or about coming here.
[10:26] Otoyakko
    Promise me.
[10:27] Mei
    Okay, I promise!
[10:43] Otojiro
    You have good taste, Mori-san.
[10:53] Mei
    I completely lost track of time.
[10:56] Mei
    I have returned...
[10:58] Ougai
    Well, welcome back.
[11:05] Mei
    I apologize for being out so late.
[11:14] Ougai
    Mei.
[11:18] Mei
    O-Ougai-san?
[11:22] Ougai
    Looks like you had a rather enjoyable outing.
[11:24] Ougai
    Where have you been off to?
[11:26] Mei
    Oh, to Otoya—
[11:28] Mei
    N-Nowhere in particular.
[11:30] Mei
    I just went for a walk and before
    I knew it I lost track of time.
[11:38] Ougai
    Is that so?
[11:40] Ougai
    It is dangerous to be out at night,
    so please try to be careful next time.
[11:43] Mei
    I will.
[11:44] Mei
    I-I'm going to go see if Fumi-san needs help.
[11:50] Mei
    That was too close.
[11:51] Mei
    I made that promise to Otoyakko-san.
[11:54] Syunso
    Watch where you're—!
[11:59] Mei
    I-I'm so sorry, Syunso-san!
[12:03] Syunso
    I wondered where you'd gotten off to.
[12:05] Syunso
    Were you precociously sneaking
    a peek at the amusement quarters?
[12:08] Mei
    T-The amusement quarters?!
[12:10] Syunso
    This is the first time you've
    worn rouge on your lips.
[12:15] Mei
    Shoot!
[12:16] Syunso
    Why bother now?
[12:18] Mei
    D-Do you think Ougai-san noticed it too?
[12:21] Syunso
    I don't know. Why don't you ask him?
[12:24] Mei
    He didn't say anything, though.
[12:25] Syunso
    Then he probably didn't notice.
[12:27] Mei
    Please, don't say anything
    about this to Ougai-san.
[12:34] Syunso
    Fine, if you insist.
[12:36] Mei
    Thank you so much.
[12:41] Syunso
    But in return...
[12:45] Syunso
    I want you to pose as a model for me.
[12:47] Mei
    Model?
[12:49] Syunso
    If you're going to ask me to lie for you,
[12:51] Syunso
    then I think you can at least give
    me a show of good faith in return.
[12:54] Mei
    B-But there's no way I could be a model.
[12:56] Mei
    I don't have a good figure, and I have
    some flab on my tummy that would be
[12:59] Mei
    pretty amazing if I took my clothes off,
     and not in a good way.
[13:02] Syunso
    Huh?
[13:04] Syunso
    Do you think I'm asking you
    to pose nude or something?
[13:08] Mei
    Aren't you?
[13:10] Syunso
    I wouldn't mind if you did.
[13:12] Mei
    No, I couldn't do it.
[13:13] Syunso
    How are you going
    to return this favor, then?
[13:16] Syunso
    Tell me. Come on. Hurry up.
[13:25] Ougai
    That's enough, Syunso.
[13:28] Ougai
    I will not allow you to
    upset my Little Squirrel.
[13:31] Syunso
    I wasn't upsetting her.
[13:33] Syunso
    I was simply asking her to pose for me.
[13:36] Ougai
    Oh?
[13:38] Ougai
    Then let me give you a piece of advice.
[13:41] Ougai
    You haven't briefly forgotten to be respectful
    of your painting's subject, have you?
[13:45] Ougai
    If you're going to ask her to pose for you,
     you should be careful how you phrase it.
[13:50] Syunso
    Fine.
[13:55] Ougai
    Good grief.
[13:56] Ougai
    He must be in a rebellious
    phase with that bad attitude.
[13:59] Ougai
    I am sorry about that, Mei.
[14:01] Mei
    It's fine.
[14:02] Mei
    I better go help now.
[14:04] Mei
    Fumi-san!
[14:17] Otoyakko
    Put all the crows in the world to death.
[14:25] Otoyakko
    I wish to slumber late into
    the morning with my lord.
[14:33] Otoyakko
    What is it?
[14:35] Otoyakko
    Have you finished transferring the beans?
[14:37] Mei
    No, not yet... But, well, I was
    watching you in fascination.
[14:42] Otoyakko
    My, what a tease you are.
[14:44] Otoyakko
    I might have to make you my bride
    if you keep saying such cute things.
[14:49] Mei
    I might discover something new about myself.
[14:54] Otoyakko
    Now what?
[14:57] Kyoka
    Somebody help me!
[14:59] Mei
    Oh, that's...
[15:03] Otoyakko
    I thought that might be you, Kyoka-chan.
[15:05] Kyoka
    Don't call me Kyoka-chan!
[15:08] Otoyakko
    You'd better hurry up now
    or you're going to get bit.
[15:11] Otoyakko
    Can't you run any faster?
[15:15] Kyoka
    Stay away!
[15:16] Mei
    Kyoka-san, quickly, come in here!
[15:21] Mei
    Sorry, doggy, you can't come in.
[15:26] Otoyakko
    Well, now look what you've done.
[15:30] Mei
    I-I'm sorry. Kyoka-san just
    seemed so miserable out there.
[15:34] Otoyakko
    A little puppy like that
    isn't such a big deal.
[15:37] Otoyakko
    Men are not allowed in a geisha house.
[15:39] Mei
    What? They aren't?
[15:41] Kyoka
    Men aren't allowed, my ass.
[15:44] Otoyakko
    No comments from the peanut gallery.
[15:45] Kyoka
    Ow!
[15:46] Mei
    That really hurts, doesn't it?
[15:48] Mei
    I've lost track of how many
    times I've been hit with it.
[15:50] Kyoka
    Huh?
[15:51] Mei
    I have been learning proper
    etiquette here since yesterday.
[15:55] Mei
    I want to become a beautiful and
    elegant woman like Otoyakko-san!
[15:59] Kyoka
    Huh?
[16:01] Otoyakko
    Well, that's the gist of it,
    so please don't bother us.
[16:04] Otoyakko
    I will bring you some water for now.
[16:07] Otoyakko
    Once you've finished it, you need to leave.
[16:09] Mei
    It's a good thing you didn't get bitten.
[16:11] Kyoka
    Shut up!
[16:13] Kyoka
    I wasn't running away from the dog,
[16:15] Kyoka
    I was just making up for my
    lack of exercise as of late.
[16:18] Kyoka
    Why are you looking at me like that?
[16:20] Mei
    S-Sorry.
[16:21] Kyoka
    For crying out loud! I've wound up stranded
    here thanks to your meddling.
[16:26] Kyoka
    What a disaster.
[16:30] Kyoka
    Don't make your stomach growl at me!
[16:32] Kyoka
    You're supposed to be learning
    about manners, you dolt!
[16:34] Mei
    I'm sorry!
[16:36] Kyoka
    Ugh... Here, eating an anpan might help.
[16:39] Mei
    You're giving it to me?
[16:40] Kyoka
    I'm not trying to thank you or anything,
    so don't get the wrong idea.
[16:44] Kyoka
    I wouldn't be able to stand it
    if you started drooling in front of me.
[16:48] Mei
    Thank you so much!
[16:49] Mei
    Time to eat...
[16:52] Mei
    Uh, what kind of ceremony is that?
[16:55] Kyoka
    It's not a ceremony. I'm just
    sterilizing the anpan.
[17:00] Kyoka
    I can't put anything in my mouth when
    I don't know who might've touched it.
[17:04] Kyoka
    If I grill it like this, it'll be
    clean and it won't upset my stomach.
[17:08] Mei
    Is this anpan really that dangerous?
[17:11] Kyoka
    I can never be sure, even if it comes from
    somewhere as famous as the Kimuraya.
[17:15] Mei
    These are famous?
[17:17] Kyoka
    Wait, you haven't heard of the Kimuraya?
[17:19] Mei
    I kinda have and kinda haven't.
[17:22] Kyoka
    Are you dumb or something?
[17:23] Kyoka
    What's with such a vague answer?
[17:26] Kyoka
    Are you dumb? Hey.
[17:27] Kyoka
    Are you dumb?
[17:28] Mei
    You called me dumb three times!
[17:32] Mei
    So good...
[17:33] Kyoka
    Don't just stuff it in your
    mouth. That's vulgar.
[17:36] Kyoka
    I don't get how Mori-san can
    be so interested in you.
[17:41] Mei
    T-That's true. Why would he be
    interested in someone like me?
[17:47] Kyoka
    W-What's with you all of the sudden?
[17:49] Mei
    Well, you are right, Kyoka-san.
[17:51] Mei
    I'm not very smart, nor particularly pretty.
[17:54] Mei
    And I'm constantly being taken care of by
    Ougai-san and I can't really do anything in return.
[17:59] Kyoka
    You should just do something about it, then.
[18:01] Mei
    That's why I'm studying etiquette like this,
    so that I might be able to be somewhat useful.
[18:06] Kyoka
    Hey! You'll get spit everywhere
    if you talk so loud.
[18:09] Kyoka
    I stood in line to
    buy these anpans...
[18:14] Otoyakko
    All right now, there's no need for a girl
    learning manners to make such a ridiculous voice.
[18:22] Kyoka
    The cushion is on fire!
[18:24] Otoyakko
    The fire is spreading!
[18:25] Otoyakko
    Don't come this way!
[18:38] Otoyakko
    What the hell were you two thinking?!
[18:40] Otoyakko
    This place could've gone up
    in flames, you nincompoops!
[18:43] Kyoka
    M-My bad.
[18:44] Mei
    I'm sorry.
[18:45] Kyoka
    Why are you apologizing?
    I'm the one who was using the fire.
[18:49] Mei
    But I was the one who distracted
    you with such an odd conversation.
[18:54] Kyoka
    What? I wouldn't get distracted
    by someone like you!
[18:57] Mei
    So, anyway, were you burned?
[19:00] Kyoka
    Don't worry about me. What about you?
[19:04] Kyoka
    Is your hand okay?
[19:05] Kyoka
    Your kimono didn't catch fire
     or anything, did it?
[19:08] Mei
    No, I'm fine.
[19:09] Otoyakko
    Well now, when did you two
    suddenly get so chummy?
[19:14] Otoyakko
    I'm almost jealous.
[19:16] Kyoka
    Stay back. You'll get germs on me.
[19:18] Mei
    Germs...
[19:20] Otoyakko
    Are you sure you want to speak to me like that?
[19:22] Otoyakko
    Who will be the one compensating me for
    the burned tatami mats and seat cushions?
[19:27] Otoyakko
    On that note, I have something
    to discuss with you.
[19:30] Otoyakko
    There is a large banquet this evening,
    and we don't have enough geisha for it.
[19:34] Kyoka
    No way.
[19:35] Kyoka
    You're going to tell me to dress
    like a girl and go to the party.
[19:39] Otoyakko
    Good guess. I'll be counting on you.
[19:43] Kyoka
    Don't be ridiculous!
[19:44] Kyoka
    Who the heck would imitate some third-rate—
[19:46] Mei
    I'll do it!
[19:48] Kyoka & Otoyakko
    What?
[19:49] Mei
    Otoyakko-san has been taking
    such good care of me,
[19:51] Mei
    and I am also responsible
    for the fire earlier,
[19:54] Mei
    so please let me help somehow!
[19:56] Kyoka
    W-What nonsense are you talking now?
[19:58] Kyoka
    Do you have any idea what
    kind of party this is?
[20:01] Otoyakko
    He's right. I can't have a naïve girl like
    you dealing with a bunch of drunken men.
[20:06] Mei
    But you deal with people like that at work
    every day, don't you, Otoyakko-san?
[20:11] Otoyakko
    Well, it's not exactly every day...
[20:13] Mei
    I will do my very best to
    help you in any way I can!
[20:18] Mei
    Please let me do it!
[20:19] Otoyakko
    You are such a good girl.
[20:22] Otoyakko
    All right, then, since you insist
    with such determination,
[20:25] Otoyakko
    I will gladly accept your help.
[20:28] Otoyakko
    Now, I'm going to give you a cursory lesson
    on manners at a party before tonight,
[20:31] Otoyakko
    so make sure to drum it into your head.
[20:33] Mei
    Yes, ma'am!
[20:34] Otoyakko
    That goes for you too, Kyoka-chan.
[20:36] Kyoka
    No way!
[20:36] Mei
    Let's do our best, Kyoka-san.
[20:38] Kyoka
    Don't touch me!
[20:40] Mei
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[20:42] Otoyakko
    Good grief. What a difficult man he is.
[20:47] Syunso
    You summoned me, Ougai-san?
[20:49] Ougai
    Yes. Do you know where Mei has gone?
[20:52] Syunso
    No idea.
[20:53] Ougai
    Perhaps you know what
    time she will be back?
[20:55] Syunso
    I do not.
[20:56] Ougai
    That presents quite a problem.
[20:58] Syunso
    What is the matter?
[21:00] Ougai
    I received a telegram a little while ago.
[21:02] Ougai
    A popular party is suddenly
    being held this evening.
[21:05] Syunso
    By "popular party," you mean that bothersome
    drinking party where the higher-ups
[21:09] Syunso
    from the government and big shots
    from the industrial groups gather?
[21:14] Ougai
    No need to be so harsh. It is a rather
    useful gathering for exchanging information.
[21:19] Syunso
    And what does that have to
    do with her not being here?
[21:23] Ougai
    I figured I would take this opportunity to
    introduce her as my fiancée to everyone there,
[21:27] Ougai
    but if she's not here, I will
    just have to make do.
[21:29] Ougai
    So it will just be you and I going tonight.
[21:32] Syunso
    I'm going as well?
[21:33] Ougai
    Naturally.
[21:35] Syunso
    What occasion will we
    be drinking to this time?
[21:38] Ougai
    Apparently Iwasaki Tosuke-kun seems to
    want to talk about electric generators.
[21:42] Syunso
    Electric generators?
     So electricity, basically.
[21:45] Ougai
    Well, he is the foremost
    expert in electricity.
[21:48] Syunso
    I wonder if the age of
    electricity is truly upon us.
[21:52] Ougai
    Isn't it fascinating?
[21:54] Ougai
    I am truly curious to see how
    he will develop the conversation
[21:58] Ougai
    in such a crowded room at a party.
[22:03] Ougai
    Syunso.
[22:04] Syunso
    What is it?
[22:05] Ougai
    I have a feeling that something
    delightful will happen this evening.
[22:12] Otoyakko
    You're doing it wrong again!
[22:15] Otoyakko
    Come on now!
[22:17] Otoyakko
    How many times do I have to
    tell you to prop the tip
[22:19] Otoyakko
    of the bottle up with your left
    hand when pouring a drink?!
[22:22] Mei
    Sir, please have one!
[22:25] ---
    No! Wrong!

[01:31] Otoyakko
    A woman's face changes from day to night.
[01:34] Otoyakko
    Make-up is applied lightly, with elegance
    during the day so it does not crack.
[01:38] Mei
    And at night?
[01:40] Otoyakko
    It is done stylishly and alluringly.
[01:44] Otoyakko
    Try not to make such an unattractive noises.
[01:48] Otoyakko
    Especially from such cherry-red lips.
[01:51] Otoyakko
    Behold. You are truly a vision this evening.
[01:56] Mei
    This is me?
[02:01] Otoyakko
    You refer to guests as "sir."
[02:03] Mei
    Other geisha are "onee-san."
[02:06] Otoyakko
    You keep smiling even at
    unfavorable guests and say...
[02:09] Mei
    My, what a terrible jokester you are!
[02:12] Kyoka
    Hey, why do I have to do this?
[02:15] Mei
    You look adorable, Kyoka-san!
[02:18] Otoyakko
    Well now, you've made quite
    an incredible transformation.
[02:21] Otoyakko
    I'll have to make sure not to be outdone.
[02:24] Kyoka
    Stop messing around!
[02:25] Kyoka
    I can't do this! There's no way!
[02:27] Kyoka
    I can't be some working geisha girl!
[02:29] Otoyakko
    Then pay me for the tatami mats.
[02:32] Mei
    Well, it's only for tonight, so let's both
    do our best to get through it together.
[02:37] Otoyakko
    She's right. And besides, all the guests
    that will be there tonight are rich,
[02:41] Otoyakko
    so if everything goes well, we might
    get paid extra on top of our usual fee.
[02:45] Kyoka
    Do you ever think about
    anything besides money?
[02:48] Otoyakko
    They do say that money opens all doors.
[02:51] Otoyakko
    In this day and age, being without
    money is like being without your head.
[02:54] Mei
    You said the guests would be rich...
[02:56] Mei
    What kind of people will be attending
    the festivities this evening?
[02:59] Otoyakko
    This event is called a popular party,
[03:01] Otoyakko
    which is a banquet for all the important
     people who support Japan.
[03:04] Mei
    What? They're really that important?
[03:07] Mei
    Oh, no, now I'm getting nervous.
[03:10] Otoyakko
    Don't look so glum, silly.
[03:13] Otoyakko
    You are my number one student,
[03:15] Otoyakko
    so just hold your head high and stand tall.
[03:18] Mei
    But what if I mess something up?
[03:20] Otoyakko
    You don't need to worry. I will be watching
    over you closely the entire time.
[03:24] Mei
    That's reassuring.
[03:26] Mei
    You're not only beautiful, but you
    have such a big heart, Otoyakko-san!
[03:29] Mei
    Isn't she just the most
    amazing woman, Kyoka-san?
[03:32] Kyoka
    Some woman, indeed.
[03:37] Otoyakko
    Now then, it is time we were on our way.
[03:40] Mei
    Yes, ma'am!
SIGN    Electricity of Dreams and Passion
[03:56] Man B
    Hey! We're out of sake!
[03:58] Otoyakko
    All right, be right with you!
[04:00] Otoyakko
    Now then, get to work, you two.
[04:03] Mei
    Yes, ma'am.
[04:06] Yakumo
    Unbelievable!
[04:09] Mei
    I know that voice...
[04:11] Yakumo
    I wondered who this beautiful geisha
    girl might be, and it's you, Mei-san.
[04:16] Mei
    I thought it was you, Yakumo-san!
[04:17] Mei
    What are you doing here?
[04:18] Yakumo
    I should be the one asking you that!
[04:21] Yakumo
    Why are you here? Are you
    working as a waitress?
[04:24] Mei
    S-Sure, something like that.
[04:27] Yakumo
    I see, I see!
[04:29] Yakumo
    Either way, you look so beautiful!
[04:32] Yakumo
    I truly envy Mori-san!
[04:34] Syunso
    What was that about Ougai-san?
[04:38] Mei
    You're here too, Syunso-san?!
[04:42] Mei
    If Syunso-san is here, that means...
[04:45] Syunso
    You don't need to wonder.
    Ougai-san is on his way here now.
[04:48] Syunso
    Why are you here, and why are you
    dressed up like that, anyway?
[04:52] Mei
    Well, about that...
    Things are kind of complicated...
[04:56] Yakumo
    Hum, hum.
[04:57] Yakumo
    Am I, Lafcadio, the only one hum-humming?
[05:00] Yakumo
    So this is a job you're keeping
     secret from Mori-san.
[05:04] Yakumo
    Okay. I will help you when the time comes.
[05:07] Mei
    T-Thank you so much!
[05:09] Man C
    Hey! Hurry up and bring more warm sake!
[05:11] Mei
    Yes, sir!
[05:13] Mei
    I'm so sorry. I'll be going now.
[05:17] Yakumo
    Hum, hum?
[05:19] Mei
    It's so crowded in there,
    and since I look so different, I'll be able
[05:22] Mei
    to get away without running
    into Ougai-san if I'm lucky.
[05:26] Ougai
    Please pardon me.
[05:28] Mei
    I spoke too soon!
[05:31] Otoyakko
    Well now, I thought I heard
    you out here, Mori-sensei.
[05:34] Ougai
    Why, if it isn't Otoyakko,
     the most famous geisha in Kagurazaka.
[05:39] Otoyakko
    How can you be so formal?
    It's not like we're strangers.
[05:44] Ougai
    You haven't changed a bit.
[05:46] Otoyakko
    Don't you mean to say I'm
    as beautiful as ever?
[05:46] Mei
    They know each other?
[05:49] Ougai
    Is your apprentice there a new addition?
[05:52] Otoyakko
    How astute you are.
    She is merely in training.
[05:55] Otoyakko
    She has struggled her way here
    fresh from the countryside.
[05:57] Ougai
    Oh?
[05:59] Otoyakko
    She is a rather lovely girl.
[06:01] Otoyakko
    She has been coming to me
    to learn proper etiquette,
[06:04] Otoyakko
    so she won't disgrace
    the man she cares about.
[06:07] Otoyakko
    Isn't it the sweetest thing?
[06:10] Ougai
    Proper etiquette?
[06:12] Otoyakko
    You there, don't just stand
    there all day. Go back inside.
[06:16] Otoyakko
    Your guests are waiting.
[06:18] Mei
    Y-Yes, Onee-san. Please excuse me, sir!
[06:21] Ougai
    She truly is a wonderful young woman.
[06:23] Otoyakko
    Isn't she?
[06:25] Ougai
    So, are you eventually planning to keep
    her close as an apprentice geisha?
[06:29] Otoyakko
    Huh?
[06:30] Ougai
    You had her come to this party so that you
    could assess her suitability, correct?
[06:34] Otoyakko
    You are a cunning man.
[06:37] Otoyakko
    Frankly, I hadn't thought that far ahead,
    but I wouldn't mind if it happened.
[06:42] Ougai
    I see.
[06:44] Otoyakko
    I can't let a special girl like that go
    to waste on a fine man like yourself.
[06:49] Otoyakko
    With proper refining, she
    could be a shining jewel.
[06:51] Ougai
    Do you mean to steal her from me?
[06:54] Otoyakko
    That might be entertaining as well.
[06:57] Ougai
    Who is the cunning one now?
[07:01] Man A
    Hey, I'm out of sake!
[07:04] Man B
    Me, too!
[07:05] Mei
    Yes, sir!
[07:08] Mei
    No matter how many bottles
    I bring them, it's never enough.
[07:10] Mei
    How much can these men drink?
[07:12] Man B
    Woman! Come, sit on my lap and serve me!
[07:15] Mei
    Umm, umm, umm...
[07:17] Mei
    My, what a terrible jokester you are!
[07:19] Man B
    Come on, come on, come on, come on!
[07:22] Mei
    H-Huh?
[07:23] Man B
    Why do you keep running away?
[07:25] Man B
    Come on, come over here!
[07:26] Kyoka
    No, don't touch me!
[07:28] Mei
    Sir!
[07:30] Man B
    What do you want?
[07:32] Mei
    You mustn't sexually harass people.
[07:35] Man B
    S-Sexual harassment?
[07:36] Yakumo
    Allow me to explain!
[07:38] Yakumo
    Sexual harassment is a term which refers to
[07:42] Yakumo
    extremely ungentlemanly,
    disgraceful behavior.
[07:44] Yakumo
    Proper ladies and gentlemen should
    not partake of such behavior.
[07:48] Man B
    Okay, got it.
[07:51] Mei
    Thank you so much, Yakumo-san.
[07:53] Man A
    The geisha here today are
    especially excellent.
[07:56] Man A
    How would you two like to
    do things with me tonight?
[07:58] Mei
    T-Tonight? Now, wait just a minute...
[08:01] Syunso
    You there! Please tell
    me what's in this dish.
[08:05] Mei
    Syunso-san?
[08:06] Mei
    Y-Yes, right away.
[08:09] Mei
    Pardon me, sir.
[08:12] Mei
    This dish?
[08:14] Syunso
    I don't actually care about the dish.
[08:16] Syunso
    Anyway, you shouldn't get too
    close to the drunk ones.
[08:22] Mei
    Thank you for getting me out of there.
[08:25] Syunso
    Left to your own devices,
[08:27] Syunso
    you'd make a careless mistake
    with someone important.
[08:30] Mei
    Eh, that man is someone important?
[08:33] Syunso
    They all are.
[08:34] Mei
    Huh. They all just seem like
    drunk old men to me.
[08:40] Mei
    Kyoka-san's been caught again!
[08:44] Syunso
    Do you really need to take
    care of him so much?
[08:47] Syunso
    Izumi is a man, so he'll be fine.
[08:49] Mei
    But Kyoka-san is a germophobe.
[08:52] Mei
    It has nothing to do with
    being a man or a woman.
[08:58] Syunso
    Why do you try so hard for everyone?
[09:03] Mei
    Touching is not allowed, sir!
[09:05] Man C
    Shut up! Butts exist to be touched!
[09:08] Mei
    That's absurd!
[09:09] Mei
    But, you see, umm... she...
    yes! She is betrothed!
[09:14] Mei
    Being betrothed is the
    same as having a fiancée,
[09:16] Mei
    which is also the same as an intended.
[09:18] Mei
    Okay, okay?
SIGN    Intended Fiancée Betrothed
[09:19] Yakumo
    They all mean the same thing!
[09:21] Man C
    Betrothed? Just break it off or something!
[09:24] Mei
    What an awful thing to say!
[09:26] Mei
    I am of an age where I am
    sensitive to words like "fiancée"!
[09:30] Man C
    Don't think you're going to get away
    with speaking to me like that!
[09:34] Kyoka
    I can't do this anymore...
[09:37] Kyoka
    Insisting that I break things off
    would only be appropiate if I were a geisha.
[09:40] Kyoka
    And I'm not even a woman,
    let alone a geisha,
[09:43] Kyoka
    so you might as well just tell me to die!
[09:47] Kyoka
    I've had enough!
[09:50] Man C
    P-Perhaps I've had too much to drink.
[09:58] Charlie
    Now then, one and all,
[10:00] Charlie
    Shokyokusai Ten'ichi would
    like a moment of your time.
[10:08] Mei
    Huh?
[10:12] Mei
    Where have I seen him before?
[10:15] Tosuke
    I would like to sincerely thank
    you for listening to my wishes
[10:19] Tosuke
    and holding a special popular party today.
[10:25] Mei
    Who is that?
[10:29] Syunso
    That is Iwasaki Tosuke,
[10:31] Syunso
    a famous investor and the foremost figure
    in electrical generator research.
[10:35] Mei
    Electrical generator?
    That means electricity, right?
[10:38] Mei
    I had no idea there was someone
    like that in this time.
[10:42] Tosuke
    Before I make my argument,
[10:44] Tosuke
    please enjoy a performance by
    the greatest magician of the age.
[10:49] Mei
    Wait, is that Charlie-san?
[10:53] Otoyakko
    Impressive.
[10:55] Mei
    You startled us.
[10:56] Mei
    What do you mean?
[10:57] Otoyakko
    When it comes to negotiating, giving
    the other party something first
[11:01] Otoyakko
    makes them feel that they, too,
    have to give something back.
[11:04] Otoyakko
    That man, Tosuke,
[11:07] Otoyakko
    will likely get down to business after
    everyone has enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
[11:11] Syunso
    In other words, he's a pretty shrewd person.
[11:14] Charlie
    Now, for all those present,
[11:16] Charlie
    in a great magical transcendence
    of time and space,
[11:22] Charlie
    I will bring forth here
    a profoundly mysterious creature
[11:24] Charlie
    from the far southern reaches of Egypt!
[11:34] Charlie
    Laura-chan, the Bactrian
    camel, makes her debut!
[11:42] Ougai
    This is absolutely splendid.
[11:44] Mei
    Ougai-san!
[11:47] Mei
    W-Wait, Ou—
[11:49] Ougai
    There is debate about whether their
    humps are filled with water or fat.
[11:54] Ougai
    I would like to touch them to be sure.
[11:56] Mei
    B-Be careful, Ougai-sa— I mean, sir!
[12:00] Ougai
    What for? This creature has surprisingly
    gentle features, does it not?
[12:09] Mei
    Ougai-san!
[12:17] Ougai
    Oops. I guess I made her angry?
[12:20] Charlie
    She's usually gentle, though.
[12:22] Kyoka
    I can relate. Being touched is a pain.
[12:25] Mei
    How can you be so calm right now?!
[12:29] Charlie
    One must never underestimate
    wild animals, I guess.
[12:32] Mei
    Hey now, Charlie-san!
[12:34] Charlie
    I once brought out an Indian
    elephant, and it almost trampled me.
[12:37] Charlie
    I'll have to be more careful next time.
[12:39] Mei
    I want to trample you right now!
[12:41] Charlie
    Eh, what for? As a reward?
[12:43] Mei
    Why are you happy about that? You pervert!
[12:46] Charlie
    Based on your appearance, you seem
    to be fully enjoying this time period.
[12:50] Mei
    That's not the issue right now!
[12:53] Charlie
    Sorry, but just be a bit more
    patient until the full moon.
[12:58] Mei
    Until the full moon?
[13:00] Charlie
    I know. You wish to get
    back sooner, don't you?
[13:04] Mei
    No, I'm all right.
[13:07] Mei
    I can wait that long.
[13:09] Mei
    What? He's gone?
[13:11] Mei
    Huh? And the room's cleaned up...
[13:14] Man D
    Fukuzawa Yukichi-sensei has arrived.
[13:19] Fukuzawa
    Be at ease everyone.
[13:21] Mei
    Wait, Fukuzawa Yukichi? The guy
    on the 10,000 yen bill?!
[13:24] Fukuzawa
    You there, young lady.
[13:26] Fukuzawa
    Would you mind also getting
    this man something to drink?
[13:29] Fujita
    No need.
[13:30] Fujita
    I am serving as your
    bodyguard at the moment.
[13:33] Mei
    Fujita-san!
[13:35] Fujita
    You are...?
[13:36] Mei
    Welcome.
[13:38] Tosuke
    Thank you very much for coming,
    Fukuzawa-sensei.
[13:42] Fukuzawa
    I came to listen to your important speech,
    that concerns the future of Japan.
[13:48] Tosuke
    Much obliged.
[13:49] Man A
    Iwasaki, is your nonsense
    worth listening to?
[13:53] Tosuke
    It is not nonsense.
[13:55] Tosuke
    Electricity is vital to Japan if we are
    to be equals to various countries
[13:59] Tosuke
    of Europe and America,
    instead of being outdone.
[14:02] Tosuke
    Furthermore, it is a well-known fact
    that existing gas lamps have problems
[14:06] Tosuke
    such as concerns of explosions and of
    poisoning from insufficient ventilation,
[14:10] Tosuke
    as well as depletion of fuel.
[14:11] Man A
    Are you saying that electricity
    doesn't have those issues?
[14:13] Man B
    Have you forgotten about
    those who were gravely injured
[14:16] Man B
    because of an electric light
    you installed as an experiment?
[14:18] Mei
    Eh? People were injured?
[14:20] Tosuke
    That is because one of the curious onlookers
    inadvertently touched the wire.
[14:24] Man C
    So you say,
[14:26] Man C
    but even the sparrows and crows who
    perched on the wire were not unharmed!
[14:29] Man B
    Electricity is the devil's light!
    It only curses and kills human!
[14:32] Men
    That's right, that's right!
[14:34] Mei
    The devil's light? Electricity is a curse?
[14:37] Tosuke
    Utterly absurd.
[14:39] Tosuke
    I cannot believe these are the opinions of
    any self-respecting, knowledgeable person.
[14:43] Tosuke
    Mentioning things like curses
    in this age of enlightenment...
[14:45] Man A
    What do you know!
[14:47] Man A
    Besides, the lamplighters who light the gas
    lamps are respected by the general public.
[14:51] Man A
    Are you going to take away
    that honorable position?
[14:53] Man C
    And most importantly,
[14:55] Man C
    regarding fuel, the cost
    of electricity stands out.
[14:58] Tosuke
    That is why I am here
    asking for investments.
[15:02] Tosuke
    I would like you to understand
    that it is necessary for us
[15:04] Tosuke
    to fund the electrical power business in
    order for Japan to overtake other countries.
[15:09] Man A
    Don't be ridiculous.
[15:10] Man A
    We have more than enough lights already!
[15:12] Tosuke
    No, they are not enough to
    light the future of Japan.
[15:16] Tosuke
    Fukuzawa-sensei, please state your decision.
[15:20] Mei
    Even though he worked so hard...
[15:23] Tosuke
    Fukuzawa-sensei...
[15:24] Man B
    Knock it off, Iwasaki!
    Your behavior is unsightly.
[15:26] Man C
    Yes, he's right!
[15:28] Man C
    Electricity is nothing more
    than your silly dream!
[15:31] Men
    That's right, that's right!
[15:33] Fujita
    Hey, woman, what are you doing?
[15:34] Mei
    It is not just a silly dream!
[15:44] Mei
    Things would be really wonderful
    if we had electricity!
[15:47] Mei
    It is a truly amazing thing!
[15:49] Kyoka
    Her lack of vocabulary leaves
    a lot to be desired.
[15:52] Mei
    I mean, with electricity, there are
    so many possibilities!
[15:56] Mei
    You can completely transform a dark and
    gloomy night bright as day right in a flash!
[16:03] Fujita
    Halt!
[16:04] Mei
    You can easily clean the house without
    back pain by just pressing a button!
[16:11] Mei
    A shower will always be hot whether
    it's spring, summer, fall, or winter!
[16:17] Ougai
    La, la, la, la!
[16:18] Mei
    You can talk with someone
    face-to-face even from far away!
[16:21] Yakumo
    Hello there, oh my fair lady!
[16:25] Mei
    You can make any changes you like, as
    often as you like, to electric drawings!
[16:34] Syunso
    Art is an explosion!
[16:37] Mei
    There's absolutely no worry about fires, and
    there's cooking food, and sterilization!
[16:41] Kyoka
    No more germs! What a great world this is!
[16:45] Mei
    La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
[16:48] Mei
    Do all your massages and
    beauty routines at home!
[16:52] Otoyakko
    This is so nice, this is so nice!
[16:55] Mei
    You can travel all over Japan as much as
    you want with a limited express train!
[17:01] All
    Yay!
[17:02] Mei
    Turn on the air conditioner, and it cools
    in the summer and warms in the winter!
[17:07] All
    Feels so nice!
[17:09] Mei
    Anything and everything is at your fingertips!
    All you have to do is press a button!
[17:15] Charlie
    Electricity is magical, tap-tap-tap!
[17:18] Mei
    The thing that makes everyone's life easier,
[17:21] Mei
    that would be, that would be,
     that would be!
[17:24] All
    Electricity, electricity,
    electricity, electricity!
[17:27] Mei
    What is a friend to us humans?
[17:29] All
    Electricity, electricity,
    electricity, electricity!
[17:32] Charlie
    The future must be a bright one!
[17:35] Mei
    You can do anything with electricity!
[17:38] Mei
    Now, now, everybody sing it with me!
[17:41] Mei
    One!
[17:41] Mei
    Two!
[17:42] Mei
    Three!
[17:44] All
    Electricity is king!
[17:53] Fukuzawa
    Wonderful.
[17:54] Fukuzawa
    He who will not advance will fall behind,
[17:56] Fukuzawa
    and he who will not fall
    behind will surely advance.
[17:59] Fukuzawa
    Iwasaki-kun, I would be
    happy to work with you.
[18:02] Tosuke
    Thank you so much, Fukuzawa-sensei.
[18:05] Man D
    Now, let's make a night of it!
[18:09] Otoyakko
    I thought it might come to that!
[18:11] Otoyakko
    Ladies, make sure to work hard
    and give them plenty to drink!
[18:14] Otoyakko
    Bring out the Denki Bran!
[18:15] Geisha
    Okay!
[18:21] Mei
    I'm really tired all of a sudden.
[18:23] Tosuke
    The electrical power business might actually
    be able to continue, thanks to you.
[18:28] Tosuke
    I am truly grateful.
[18:29] Mei
    Oh, no, I just thought it would
    be nice if we had electricity.
[18:33] Tosuke
    I had only thought about
    lighting things up at night.
[18:37] Tosuke
    But it is wonderful that you were
    able to think about how it might play
[18:42] Tosuke
    into all aspects of people's lives.
[18:44] Mei
    Not at all. Lighting things up
    is the most important part.
[18:50] Tosuke
    What a mysterious person you are.
[18:51] Tosuke
    If I had a woman like you by my side,
[18:54] Tosuke
    I would be able to keep dreaming
    well into the future.
[18:58] Tosuke
    Intelligent young lady, I would like
    to acquire all the knowledge you have.
[19:05] Ougai
    Mei, may I have a moment?
[19:11] Mei
    Of course.
[19:14] Mei
    Pardon me... Tosuke-san,
    was it? I must be going.
[19:20] Tosuke
    I cannot believe such a
    woman exists in this time.
[19:27] Mei
    Has he figured it out?
[19:29] Kyoka
    Hey, wait, you!
[19:32] Kyoka
    What is it?
[19:33] Tosuke
    Ah, nothing.
[19:36] Yakumo
    I was deeply moved by the splendidness
    of electricity, Iwasaki-san!
[19:40] Tosuke
    Oh, thank you.
[19:41] Yakumo
    With electricity, I will be able to call
    my best friend Fujita-san all the time.
[19:46] Yakumo
    I am so emotional about it,
    I cannot stop my tears.
[19:47] Syunso
    He's a weepy drunk?
[19:49] Fujita
    Who are you calling your best friend?
[19:51] Otoyakko
    I don't mind a man like that.
[19:54] Kyoka
    Huh?
[19:55] Fujita
    You there, do something about this drunkard.
[19:57] Otoyakko
    Excuse me? You're awfully cocky for a cop.
[19:59] Fujita
    Unhand me.
[20:00] Otoyakko
    I'm going to melt that stubbornness
    out of you today, so get ready!
[20:05] Fujita
    Stop it!
[20:07] Kyoka
    They're totally drunk, too.
[20:10] Syunso
    They did drink quite a bit...
[20:18] Ougai
    Is it hard for you to be in the mansion?
[20:20] Mei
    Eh?
[20:22] Ougai
    It seems I placed quite a heavy burden on you,
[20:24] Ougai
    just by calling you my fiancée.
[20:28] Ougai
    That led you to find a
    place here to devote yourself
[20:31] Ougai
    to studying the manners
    and etiquette of a lady.
[20:35] Ougai
    And to Kawakami-kun.
[20:38] Mei
    Kawakami-kun?
[20:40] Ougai
    Otoyakko is Kawakami Otojiro-kun.
[20:43] Mei
    Huh? Otoyakko-san is O-Otojiro-san?!
[20:48] Ougai
    You didn't know?
[20:50] Ougai
    Really?
[20:52] Ougai
    So I cooked that mochi for nothing.
[20:54] Mei
    Mochi?
[20:56] Ougai
    Oh, nevermind.
[20:57] Ougai
    It was quite unlike me,
    but I was a bit concerned
[21:00] Ougai
    you might have been taken away.
[21:02] Mei
    Huh?
[21:03] Ougai
    You really have no idea,
    do you, Little Squirrel?
[21:06] Ougai
    Just how much power you have
    to charm those around you.
[21:11] Mei
    I just wanted to find
    a way to thank you.
[21:16] Ougai
    Thank me?
[21:18] Mei
    You saved me at the
    Rokumeikan and let me stay
[21:20] Mei
    in your home despite
    having lost my memories.
[21:28] Ougai
    Mei...
[21:31] Ougai
    Stay with me.
[21:32] Mei
    Ougai-san?
[21:35] Ougai
    Stay in my mansion forever.
[21:39] Mei
    I want to.
[21:40] Mei
    I want to stay there forever.
[21:43] Ougai
    Then stay. Stay as long as you like.
[21:46] Ougai
    Be it a year or even ten years.
[21:49] Mei
    All right.
[21:58] Ougai
    Let's go eat the cutlet at
    Rengatei, then go home.
[22:04] Mei
    Okay.
[22:07] Otoyakko
    Come on now!
[22:09] Otoyakko
    When you're drunk, it doesn't matter
    if you're with a man or a woman!
[22:11] Fujita
    I agree.
[22:13] Fujita
    I'm going to kill you here, whether
    you're a man or a woman.
[22:17] Yakumo
    Pwease stop fighting over me!

[02:45] Syunso
    It's really coming down.
[02:47] Syunso
    With the amount of rain we've been having,
    the water level of Shinobazu Pond has risen.
[02:51] Ougai
    Is that so?
[02:52] Syunso
    I heard the Supernatural
    Division is stirring.
[02:55] Ougai
    They are?
[02:58] Syunso
    Yes.
[03:07] Mei
    It's clearing up.
[03:10] Mei

    Silver vine! Cats just love silver vine.
[03:39] Syunso
    I see.

    Kitty, kitty, meow, kitty, kitty, meow...

[04:05] Taki
    Hey, wait!
[04:11] Taki
    Wait, come back!
[04:15] Mei
    Do pigeons like silver vine, too?
[04:18] Syunso
    I have no idea!
[04:25] Mei
    That was unexpected.
[04:35] Syunso
    Shinobazu Pond... I guess
    the stories were true.
[04:39] Syunso
    Let's go. It isn't safe here.
[04:41] Mei
    Okay.

    off at a pond, don't you?
[05:21] Mei
    Wait, you're not?
[05:22] Kyoka
    No!
[05:26] Mei
    So, the dragon goddess
    from your play escaped?
[05:31] Syunso
    A divine spirit, huh?
[05:34] Mei
    What happened after she escaped?
[05:38] Kyoka
    She came here to Shinobazu Pond.
[05:40] Kyoka
    The play I'm writing, Demon Pond,
    is a story about the dragon goddess,
[05:44] Kyoka
    Shirayuki, who is in love with
    the distant lord of Senja Pond.
[05:50] Kyoka
    She only has one wish,
[05:53] Kyoka
    which is to go and be with the man she loves.
[05:55] Kyoka
    However, because of a promise made long
    ago, she is unable to leave her pond.
[06:02] Kyoka
    If she goes against that
    promise, Shirayuki will die
[06:06] Kyoka
    and a flood will occur, sinking the village
    into the watery depths.
[06:11] Kyoka
    Shirayuki suffers because of this.
[06:15] Kyoka
    To help console her,
     the villagers would sing a lullaby.
[06:21] Mei
    Oh, so that's why you were
    singing that song earlier.
[06:24] Kyoka
    Yeah. Got it now?
[06:25] Mei
    Yes.
[06:27] Kyoka
    On the night of the recent red full moon...
[06:30] (Flashback) Kyoka
    Shirayuki!
[06:32] Kyoka
    Shirayuki was afraid that the play
    I was writing would end in tragedy,
[06:37] Kyoka
    so she escaped.
[06:40] (Flashback) Kyoka
    Shirayuki, wait!
[06:43] (Flashback) Kyoka
    Shirayuki!
[06:47] Kyoka
    This long stretch of rain we've been
    having is because of her, as well.
[06:51] Mei
    Then, will Shirayuki-san not
    be reunited with her lover
[06:55] Mei
    in the play you're writing?
[06:59] Kyoka
    I'm not sure.
[07:01] Mei
    Huh?
[07:03] Kyoka
    I don't even know.
[07:06] Kyoka
    I can't continue writing unless
    Shirayuki returns to the play.
[07:12] Kyoka
    I want Shirayuki to come back.
[07:15] Kyoka
    I want to write the rest of the story.
[07:19] Mei
    M-Maybe there is something I can do to help!
[07:25] Mei
    We can get Shirayuki-san back together!
[07:27] Kyoka
    Wha?
[07:28] Kyoka
    What the heck is a dolt like you gonna do?
[07:31] Kyoka
    Those guys from the Supernatural
    Division are skulking around, too.
[07:34] Mei
    If Shirayuki-san is slain by Fujita-san,
    Demon Pond will remain unfinished.
[07:40] Mei
    There has to be a way.
[07:42] Kyoka
    Don't touch me!
[07:45] Mei
    Let's come up with something
    together, Kyoka-san!
[07:48] Kyoka
    I never asked you to decide for me.
[07:49] Mei
    It'll be fine.
[07:51] Kyoka
    What part of it will?
[07:52] Mei
    Umm... All of it!
[07:56] Ougai
    Absolutely not!
[07:59] Mei
    W-Why not?
[08:01] Ougai
    You were supposed to be searching for
    Syunso's black cat, were you not?
[08:05] Ougai
    Why were you in such a dangerous area?
[08:08] Ougai
    Syunso, she was in your care.
[08:12] Syunso
    M-My apologies.
[08:14] Mei
    Syunso-san is not at fault.
[08:16] Mei
    I just want to do something for
    Kyoka-san and Shirayuki-san.
[08:19] Ougai
    Mei, I want you to look for the black cat.
[08:25] Mei
    I swear I won't do anything dangerous.
[08:29] Ougai
    Mei...
[08:31] Ougai
    I am not a Tamayori,
[08:33] Ougai
    so I would not be able to tell if something
    dangerous was getting close to you.
[08:39] Ougai
    You understand, don't you?
[08:43] Mei
    Yes.
[08:47] Ougai
    Mei, can you speak English?
[08:50] Mei
    Eh?! Uh, w-well...
[08:53] Mei
    A-A little.
[08:57] Ougai
    Mei, you should study English more.
[09:00] Ougai
    There will be quite a
    number of foreign guests
[09:03] Ougai
    at the upcoming formal
    fiancée presentation.
[09:07] Ougai
    Do you understand, Mei?
[09:09] Mei
    Y-Yes, I do.
[09:13] Ougai
    Very good.
[09:20] Mei
    He totally evaded me.
[09:24] Syunso
    Wait.
[09:29] Mei
    Syunso-san?
[09:32] Syunso
    I don't think you should get involved.
[09:35] Mei
    Huh?
[09:37] Syunso
    Unlike with my black cat, where the cause is clear,
[09:40] Syunso
    Izumi is the only one who can
     resolve the Shirayuki situation.
[09:43] Mei
    B-But...
[09:46] Syunso
    You know, Ougai-san isn't the
    only one who worries about you.
[10:13] Police Officer A
    Damn, will this blasted rain ever stop?
[10:16] Police Officer B
    The pond is going to breach its banks
     tonight at this rate.
[10:28] Kyoka
    Come home, Shirayuki.
[10:30] Kyoka
    You won't be able to accomplish
    anything staying here.
[10:34] Kyoka
    Come back within me.
[10:45] Kyoka
    That idiot...
[10:49] Mei
    I'm sorry, Ougai-san, but I just have to...
[10:56] Mei
    Please, Shirayuki-san, go back to Kyoka-san.
[11:01] Mei
    Never being able to be with the
    one you love is hard, isn't it?
[11:08] Mei
    I know how you must feel.
[11:11] Mei
    I also want to be with the one I love.
[11:15] Mei
    You know, he even told me that
    he wanted me to stay forever.
[11:21] Mei
    But I'm going to have to go back.
[11:26] Mei
    I'll have to leave him in half a month.
[11:32] Mei
    I'm sure I'll never be able
    to see him again after that.
[11:37] Mei
    I want to stay with you forever...
[11:40] Mei
    Ougai-san.
[11:49] Fujita
    So it was a ghost after all.
[11:59] Police Officer A
    What's that?
[12:05] Kyoka
    Hey! Get away from the pond!
[12:09] Mei
    Kyoka-san?
[12:13] Police Officer A
    What the heck?!
[12:17] Fujita
    You finally show yourself.
[12:20] Kyoka
    Shirayuki!
[12:26] Mei
    That's Shirayuki-san?!
[12:28] Kyoka
    Crap, she's lost control.
[12:34] Kyoka
    Come on, you dolt, hurry up!
[12:36] Mei
    R-Right.
[12:37] Kyoka
    Shirayuki, calm down!
[12:40] Kyoka
    This isn't where you're supposed to be!
[12:54] Mei
    Kyoka-san!
[12:57] Kyoka
    Shirayuki! I'm the one who created you!
[13:00] Kyoka
    So please come back to me!
[13:06] Fujita
    Evacuate nearby residents immediately!
[13:08] Fujita
    The banks are going to breach!
[13:11] Fujita
    Pretending to be a dragon
    god? Foolish ghost.
[13:17] Mei
    Kyoka-san!
[13:18] Fujita
    Izumi Kyoka?
[13:22] Shirayuki
    How resentful I am...
[13:25] Shirayuki
    Were it not for that accursed promise,
    I could be with my beloved for all eternity.
[13:31] Kyoka
    Shirayuki...
[13:34] Shirayuki
    Cease with that infernal noise!
[13:43] Fujita
    Izumi Kyoka!
[13:45] Fujita
    What is a lowly writer
    like you doing here?
[13:49] Fujita
    It appears that you have something
    to do with this endless rain.
[13:54] Fujita
    Tell me all the details.
[13:56] Mei
    Please wait!
[13:57] Fujita
    You again? Move!
[13:59] Mei
    I will not.
[14:00] Mei
    Kyoka-san is trying to help Shirayuki-san!
[14:04] Fujita
    Shirayuki? Is that the name of that monster?
[14:11] Shirayuki
    I want to see him.
[14:13] Shirayuki
    I want to be with my beloved right now!
[14:18] Kyoka
    Shirayuki!
[14:20] Mei
    Please listen to us, Shirayuki-san!
[14:22] Shirayuki
    Insolent humans! Do not come near me.
[14:26] Shirayuki
    I will no longer listen to anyone!
[14:29] Fujita
    The monster is right there!
[14:34] Shirayuki
    I will not cast aside love for my life.
[14:38] Shirayuki
    Every single one of you!
[14:40] Shirayuki
    I will trample anyone who
    dares to try and stop me!
[14:44] Mei
    No, Shirayuki-san!
[14:46] Mei
    Stop!
[14:53] Kyoka
    You idiot!
[15:32] Mei
    Shirayuki-san...
[15:37] Mei
    Please, go back to Kyoka-san.
[15:43] Mei
    The man you love is within Kyoka-san.
[15:53] Shirayuki
    I cannot believe the words of a human.
[15:59] Mei
    You will never be able to
    see him again like this.
[16:03] Mei
    Shirayuki-san, please believe in Kyoka-san.
[16:09] Mei
    Believe in him.
[16:17] Mei
    I can't breathe.
[16:21] Mei
    Ougai-san, I'm so sorry.
[16:25] Mei
    I know I promised I wouldn't
    do anything dangerous.
[16:48] Kyoka
    Shirayuki!
[16:56] Kyoka
    Come back to me, Shirayuki.
[17:00] Kyoka
    Shirayuki...
[17:02] Kyoka
    If...
[17:05] Kyoka
    If you can't do that, then I will share
    my fate with you here!
[17:16] Kyoka
    Shira...
[17:37] Ougai
    Mei! Mei!
[17:41] Ougai
    Mei!
[17:47] Ougai
    Mei!
[17:49] Mei
    Ougai-san...
[17:55] Ougai
    You fool!
[17:59] Ougai
    You fool...
[18:02] Mei
    Ougai-san.
[18:28] Mei
    Shirayuki-san...
[18:34] Shirayuki
    Love creates such remarkable
    strength of spirit.
[18:41] Shirayuki
    I will return, back to within you.
[18:50] Shirayuki
    Back to my beloved.
[18:52] Kyoka
    Shirayuki!
[19:08] Kyoka
    Shirayuki...
[19:27] Mei
    Shirayuki-san, you went
    back inside Kyoka-san.
[20:05] Mei
    I-It hurts!
[20:07] Mei
    Muscle pain?!
[20:12] Mei
    G-Good morning.
[20:15] Ougai
    Well, good morning, Little Squirrel.
[20:19] Ougai
    Did you sleep well?
[20:21] Mei
    I-I did, and, well...
[20:24] Ougai
    You have a visitor.
[20:31] Mei
    Kyoka-san!
[20:33] Kyoka
    You doing okay?
[20:35] Mei
    Yes, I am! No, I'm in pain.
[20:39] Kyoka
    My story is progressing.
[20:43] Mei
    Really? That's great!
[20:46] Mei
    So, what's going to happen
    with Shirayuki-san's romance?
[20:50] Kyoka
    You want to know?
[20:51] Mei
    Of course I do!
[20:53] Kyoka
    I can't just tell you the
    outcome of a creative work.
[20:58] Kyoka
    If you're interested, come
    and see it next month.
[21:01] Kyoka
    A certain third-rate actor
    will be performing it.
[21:03] Mei
    Third-rate actor?
[21:05] Mei
    Oh, you mean Otojiro-san!
[21:08] Mei
    Okay, then I will definitely
    come and see it.
[21:10] Mei
    I wonder how everything
    is going to turn out!
[21:14] Mei
    Okay, but please tell me
    just one little detail.
[21:17] Kyoka
    Not a chance!
[21:18] Mei
    Then at least tell me if
    everything works out.
[21:19] Kyoka
    That would be like giving it all away.
[21:31] Kyoka
    I hope your romance works out as well.
[21:38] Syunso
    You pushed yourself too far.
[21:39] Mei
    Does that mean it works out
    for Shirayuki-san, too?!
[21:42] Mei
    I'm so glad!
[21:44] Mei
    Thank you so much!
[21:54] Kyoka
    Y-You're so weird! I'm the
    one who was thanking you.
[21:59] Kyoka
    See you next month.
[22:01] Mei
    Yes, next month.
[22:09] Mei
    Next month...
[22:14] Mei
    I will no longer
[22:19] Mei
    be here next month.
[22:24] Ougai
    W-Wait, not that way.
     I want to go this way. Woah!
[22:27] Syunso
    Ougai-san! Come on, this way.
[22:29] Ougai
    Ouch! Don't be so rough, Syunso! That hurts!

    One, two, three... One, two, three.
[02:56] Ougai
    That's it, you're doing well.
[02:58] Ougai
    Just what I'd expect from
    my Little Squirrel.
[02:59] Mei
    Y-You think so?
[03:02] Ougai
    I am looking forward to the day when I can
[03:04] Ougai
    show off my beautiful fiancée
    in a dress to the world.
[03:07] Mei
    A-A dress?!
[03:10] Ougai
    Whoops.
[03:12] Ougai
    Are you all right?
[03:14] Mei
    Y-Yes.
[03:18] Syunso
    I'm going to go look for the black cat.
[03:22] Ougai
    But it's still bright outside.
[03:24] Syunso
    It's better than staying
    here and doing nothing.
[03:27] Syunso
    I just want to find some place
    where cats like to gather.

    I'll go with him, too.

    Please wait, Syunso-san!
[03:57] Syunso
    Why did you come?
[03:58] Mei
    Huh?
[03:59] Syunso
    Wouldn't you rather be practicing
    your dancing with Ougai-san?
[04:04] Mei
    But searching for the black
    cat is more important.
[04:07] Syunso
    Ougai-san has ordered an
    expensive dress for you,
[04:12] Syunso
    yet you intend to make a fool of him?
[04:15] Mei
    T-That's not my intention...
[04:19] Mei
    Are you mad about something, Syunso-san?
[04:25] Syunso
    Not particularly.
[04:28] Yakumo
    Oh my fairy!
[04:30] Yakumo
    To be running into you like this,
[04:32] Yakumo
    you and I are truly tied together
    by the red wire of fate!
[04:38] Mei
    G-Good day, Yakumo-san.
[04:41] Syunso
    Hello.
[04:42] Yakumo
    Are you both going somewhere today?
[04:44] Mei
    Y-Yes. We thought we would look for somewhere
[04:47] Mei
    cats gather, to try to find the black cat.
[04:50] Yakumo
    Is that so?
[04:51] Yakumo
    Well then, the café I am heading
    to now happens to be one such place.
[04:56] Yakumo
    Would you like to accompany me?
[04:57] Mei
    May we? Syunso-san!
[05:00] Syunso
    Sure, I don't see why not.
[05:02] Yakumo
    Okay! We must strike while the iron is hot!
[05:04] Yakumo
    Now then, let's go.
[05:07] Mei
    I had no idea there was a café in this area.
[05:12] Yakumo
    You could say it's a secret retreat.
[05:14] Yakumo
    It's my special spot.
[05:17] Mei
    Are you sure it's all right
    for us to go there, too?
[05:20] Yakumo
    It will be no problem at all.
[05:23] Yakumo
    I am very much in your debt, after all.
[05:26] Yakumo
    I will treat you to some delicious tea.
[05:28] Kyoka
    I'm just worried.
[05:31] Mei
    That voice belongs to...
[05:33] Ozaki
    Worried? Listen to me...
[05:35] Ozaki
    I was wondering why you were
    gone for hours on end.
[05:38] Ozaki
    To find you pacing around the mailbox
    like a puppy
[05:40] Ozaki
    is kind of pathetic, don't you think?
[05:42] Kyoka
    But what if the envelope with
    your manuscript in it were to be torn?
[05:46] Ozaki
    It's not going to be.
[05:48] Ozaki
    Your tendency to worry is
    a real pain sometimes.
[05:51] Mei
    Good day, Kyoka-san.
[05:53] Kyoka
    I-It's you.
[05:57] Ozaki
    Who is this girl?
[06:01] Ozaki
    One of my readers?
[06:02] Kyoka
    S-Sensei, she is—
[06:04] Mei
    Sensei?
[06:06] Ozaki
    Come on, now, you can't possibly be saying
    that you aren't familiar with the name
[06:10] Ozaki
    Ozaki Koyo, the most famous
    popular writer in Asia?
[06:13] Mei
    Ozaki Koyo-san is...
[06:17] Mei
    Oh! You wrote The Golden Demon!
[06:19] Mei
    I saw the play of it recently!
[06:22] Ozaki
    Really? Then do tell me your thoughts on it.
[06:24] Ozaki
    You can come to my place now.
[06:27] Ozaki
    What is your name?
[06:28] Mei
    A-Ayazuki Mei.
[06:31] Kyoka
    Why don't you look more bothered by this?
[06:34] Yakumo
    Ozaki-san, unfortunately she already
    has a prior engagement with me.
[06:39] Syunso
    She was with me first, you know.
[06:41] Ozaki
    My, you're very popular, Mei. In that case...
[06:45] Ozaki
    You're welcome to come by at night.
[06:48] Ozaki
    I will polish up my body just for you.
[06:51] Kyoka
    Sensei! What about your next deadline?!
[06:53] Ozaki
    Don't mention my deadlines!
[07:00] Kyoka
    Help me!
[07:02] Mei
    Kyoka-san, it's only chasing after
    you because you're running away.
[07:06] Yakumo
    Oh, Mei-san!
[07:13] Ozaki
    See you later, Mei!
[07:14] Ozaki
    Make sure to put my
     manuscript in the mail, Izumi.
[07:18] Mei
    Kyoka-san, stop running!
[07:21] Kyoka
    Like hell I'm going to stop!
[07:22] Otojiro
    And a nincompoopie poop...
[07:26] Otojiro
    Hey there, Kyoka-chan.

    And don't call me "Kyoka-chan"!
[07:35] Otojiro
    Is that really what you're supposed
    to say after crashing into someone?
[07:38] Kyoka
    But the dog, the dog!
[07:41] Otojiro
    You mean that dog?
[07:43] Mei
    There, there. I'm so sorry.
    I bet that hurt, didn't it?
[07:46] Mei
    But he didn't mean any harm,
    so please forgive him.
[07:51] Yakumo
    Even a savage dog is putty
    in Mei-san's hands.
[07:54] Syunso
    Savage dog...
[07:57] Otojiro
    Hey, Mei. Long time no see.
[08:01] Mei
    Otoyakko-sa—I mean, Otojiro-san!
[08:04] Mei
    Thank you for all of your help the other day.
[08:07] Otojiro
    You made quite the impression.
[08:09] Otojiro
    You're welcome to come by
    the geisha house any time.
[08:11] Mei
    Thank you very much. But I
    won't be going there anymore.
[08:15] Mei
    I would make Ougai-san worry.
[08:17] Otojiro
    I see. Well, probably for the best, then.
[08:20] Otojiro
    I was on my way to grab something to eat.
    Do you want to come with me?
[08:24] Yakumo
    Stop.
[08:25] Yakumo
    She already has a previous engagement
    with me to go to a café, Kawakami-san.
[08:30] Syunso
    Okay, but she was helping me
    find the black cat before that.
[08:33] Otojiro
    Oh? Then I'll just eat there instead.
[08:37] Otojiro
    Right, Kyoka-chan?
[08:39] Kyoka
    Wha? Why are you dragging me into this?
[08:41] Kyoka
    And don't call me Kyoka-chan!
[08:43] Otojiro
    Nevermind the details.
[08:45] Otojiro
    There must be a reason
    we all ran into each other.
[08:47] Otojiro
    Right, Mei?
[08:48] Mei
    Yes, eating together would make
    everything taste that much better.
[09:02] Fujita
    Not bad.
[09:06] Fujita
    I know. Just wait a bit longer.
[09:21] Fujita
    It was bad enough that you
    illegally trespassed on my property.
[09:24] Fujita
    What were you thinking
    peeping in as well?
[09:28] Mei
    W-We're sorry.
[09:29] Mei
    We had no idea that the café
    was going to be your house.
[09:32] Fujita
    What are you talking about?
[09:34] Yakumo
    Welcome to Café Fujita!
[09:38] Fujita
    Koizumi, you bastard.
[09:39] Kyoka
    It's all your fault for suddenly saying
    something smelled good and taking off.
[09:43] Mei
    B-But something really did smell good.
[09:47] Syunso
    You give in to your appetite way too easily.
[09:50] Otojiro
    Well, at any rate, we're here now.
    So you might as well serve some tea.
[09:55] Fujita
    Do you want me to throw you
    in jail again, Kawakami?
[10:02] Mei
    Oh, a cat! Is it yours?
[10:05] Fujita
    It is not.
[10:07] Mei
    B-But...
[10:09] Mei
    It really likes you.
[10:13] Yakumo
    See, I told you.
[10:15] Yakumo
    Café Fujita is a cat residence
    where cats like to gather.
[10:19] Yakumo
    The black cat you're looking for
    is sure to come by here.
[10:24] Mei
    That might be true, Syunso-san!
[10:27] Syunso
    If you say so, I guess.
[10:30] Fujita
    Looking for a black cat?
[10:32] Fujita
    Would that be the black cat
    that escaped from Hishida's painting?
[10:38] Mei
    That's right,
[10:40] Mei
    but please don't slay Syunso-san's cat. We can get it back in the painting.
[10:44] Fujita
    Can you honestly say that ghost
    cat won't do anything harmful?
[10:47] Mei
    I can't, but if anything like that does
    happen, I'll take responsibility and stop it.
[10:57] Otojiro
    Which reminds me... You're a Tamayori, right?
[11:00] Otojiro
    I heard about it from Kyoka-chan.
[11:02] Otojiro
    Right, Kyoka-chan?
[11:04] Otojiro
    Hey, where'd he go?
[11:08] Kyoka
    Wow, amazing!
[11:10] Kyoka
    There's not a single speck
    of dust in this house!
[11:12] Kyoka
    This is the first time I've been to a private
    household where the sanitary condition is so good!
[11:15] Fujita
    Hey...
[11:16] Otojiro
    That's high praise coming from Kyoka-chan.
[11:20] Yakumo
    He may not seem like it, but Fujita-san
[11:22] Yakumo
    is very good at cooking, washing,
    and all household chores.
[11:25] Mei
    That's incredible! You have my respect.
[11:28] Syunso
    You can't judge a book by its cover.
[11:30] Fujita
    Leave.
[11:32] Kyoka
    No way. I'm staying here for now.
[11:34] Yakumo
    Fujita-san, out of consideration
    for me, your best friend,
[11:38] Yakumo
    won't you please let us partake of
    Café Fujita's Goro Special today?
[11:41] Fujita
    Goro Special? Don't be ridiculous.
[11:43] Mie
    Café Fujita's Goro Special?
[11:47] Mie
    Sounds delicious!
[11:55] Fujita
    Do what you will.
[12:00] Fujita
    Who told you to help
     with the cooking?
[12:03] Otojiro
    Give it a rest and relax that
    severely furrowed brow.
[12:07] Otojiro
    We're doing something we're not used to as
    our way of apologizing for trespassing.
[12:13] Yakumo
    It's because Mei-san is
    extremely fond of eating.
[12:16] Yakumo
    I might actually have a chance with her
    if I make her something delicious.
[12:23] Fujita
    Koizumi, cut the pickle into
    angled bite-size pieces!
[12:26] Yakumo
    Angled? Bite-size pieces?
[12:31] Fujita
    Don't let the miso soup boil!
[12:33] Kyoka
    But the germs!
[12:34] Fujita
    There is no such thing!
[12:36] Otojiro
    Let's see, where would the alcohol be?
[12:39] Yakumo
    The alcohol is on the left
    side of that cupboard.
[12:43] Fujita
    How do you know that?!
[12:44] Otojiro
    Oh, found it.
[12:46] Otojiro
    This is the really good stuff,
    too. Let's all drink together.
[12:49] Fujita
    Why, you...!
[12:51] Mei
    This one is Grilled Ribs,
[12:54] Mei
    and this one is Skirt Steak.
[13:00] Mei
    Don't do that, Pork Loin.
[13:02] Syunso
    What have you been going on about?
[13:04] Mei
    I'm giving each of them
    a name that's easy to remember.
[13:07] Syunso
    Weren't you supposed to be
    looking for the black cat?
[13:10] Mei
    Well, I haven't been able
    to find a black one.
[13:13] Syunso
    So it's not here either, then.
[13:15] Mei
    Please cheer up.
[13:16] Mei
    There's a delicious smell coming from the
    kitchen that might lure it in eventually...
[13:23] Ougai
    Hey, you two. So this is where you've been.
[13:26] Mei
    O-Ougai-san?
[13:28] Syunso
    What are you doing here?
[13:29] Ougai
    I was heading to the Metropolitan
    Police Department on business
[13:32] Ougai
    when I heard that Inspector
    Fujita was off duty.
[13:35] Mei
    I thought you might've been lured
    in by the delicious smell.
[13:39] Syunso
    He's not like you.
[13:42] Otojiro
    What's this? Even Mori-san is here.
[13:45] Yakumo
    Welcome, welcome. Please do come in.
[13:47] Fujita
    Don't go inviting more guests.
[13:49] Ougai
    You're all here. Is there a party today?
[13:55] Ougai
    It looks truly enjoyable.
[13:57] Ougai
    I will certainly take you up
    on the offer to join you.
[14:04] Mei
    This simmered beef with ginger!
[14:07] Mei
    It's well-seasoned with Japanese pepper,
[14:08] Mei
    and it's so delicious that the taste
[14:10] Mei
    just spreads across my tongue and
    almost brings tears to my eyes!
[14:15] Fujita
    Of course it does. I simmered
    it for a whole day.
[14:19] Mei
    What a surprise. I never expected you
    to be such a domestic person.
[14:26] Mei
    The miso soup.
[14:30] Mei
    Yes! The soup stock is also
    flavorful and very good.
[14:34] Mei
    Kyoka-san?
[14:36] Kyoka
    I-I'm glad you like it so much.
[14:39] Otojiro
    Come on, Mei, drink some.
[14:41] Mei
    No, I'm not so good with alcohol.
[14:44] Ougai
    I will take that.
[14:47] Yakumo
    Mei-san, these are the pickles I cut.
[14:50] Yakumo
    Here, say ah.
[14:53] Ougai
    I will take that.
[14:56] Ougai
    Mei is my fiancée.
[14:59] Ougai
    Please refrain from getting
    closer to her than necessary.
[15:04] Yakumo
    What is he saying, Mr. Bunny?
[15:07] Otojiro
    Rather childish of you to get jealous
    over her being offered alcohol.
[15:12] Yakumo
    Mori-san, I challenge you to
    a round of Tiger, Tiger, Tiger
[15:15] Yakumo
    to see who gets the honor of
    feeding things to Mei-san.
[15:17] Ougai
    I guess I will accept, then.
[15:20] Mei
    Wha?
[15:25] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:29] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:33] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:36] Mei
    Syunso-san, shall I pour
    you some more alcohol?
[15:39] Syunso
    Sure.
[15:43] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:47] Fujita
    I've had enough of this.
[15:47] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[16:02] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    Curse you, ghost.
[16:05] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    You've possessed my sword, have you?
[16:08] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    Now that it has come to this,
    I will make full use of your power.
[16:13] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    I will slay those who do wrong without
    mercy, be they ghosts or humans.
[16:19] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    Prepare yourself.
[16:21] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    We shall fall into the
    darkest depths together.
[16:27] Mei
    Fujita-san!
[16:29] Mei
    Fujita-san?
[16:32] Fujita
    Girl...
[16:33] Mei
    I will help you with the dishes.
[16:36] Fujita
    No need.
[16:38] Mei
    At least let me help with
    cleaning up, please.
[16:42] Mei
    It's freezing.
[16:48] Mei
    Cooking is such hard work.
[16:52] Fujita
    Did you find the black cat?
[16:54] Mei
    It wasn't here.
[16:55] Fujita
    I see.
[16:57] Mei
    That wasn't a lie.
[16:59] Fujita
    I haven't said anything.
[17:02] Mei
    Why does you saber reflect
    things that cannot be seen?
[17:09] Fujita
    It was reforged from a sword I used to have.
[17:16] Fujita
    One that was possessed by a ghost.
[17:21] Fujita
    You have some threads loose.
[17:23] Mei
    Huh?
[17:25] Mei
    The cats were clawing at it earlier.
[17:27] Fujita
    Come with me.
[17:34] Mei
    Wow, you can even sew as well.
[17:38] Mei
    I had the wrong impression
    of you, Fujita-san.
[17:41] Mei
    I thought you were a rather scary person,
    but you're really more like, well...
[17:47] Fujita
    What?
[17:49] Mei
    A mother.
[17:53] Fujita
    What are you talking about?
[17:57] Mei
    T-Thank you very much.
[17:59] Fujita
    Girl...
[18:01] Fujita
    Join me.
[18:02] Mei
    Huh?
[18:03] Fujita
    The Supernatural Division would make
    good use of your Tamayori powers.
[18:08] Mei
    The Supernatural Division?
[18:10] Mei
    To make me eliminate ghosts?
[18:14] Fujita
    Stay by me, and I will protect you.
[18:24] Fujita
    I will not allow anyone else
    to be sacrificed to spirits.
[18:31] Mei
    Th-That hurts.
[18:34] Fujita
    My apologies.
[18:36] Mei
    Has something happened?
[18:42] Mei
    I'm sorry, though. I won't
    join the Supernatural Division.
[18:46] Fujita
    Because I slay spirits?
[18:49] Mei
    Neither Jane-san nor Shirayuki-san
    were simply things to be feared.
[18:54] Mei
    I believe that, like humans,
    ghosts can also be complicated
[18:57] Mei
    in their own ways and are capable
    of having kind hearts.
[19:04] Mei
    That is why I would like to learn more
    about them, and understand them.
[19:17] (Flashback) Classmate D
    You're Ayazuki Mei-san, right?
[19:22] Fujita
    What is it?
[19:27] Mei
    I just felt a bit dizzy.
[19:30] Fujita
    Are you all right?
[19:32] Mei
    Yes, forgive me. I'm fine now.
[19:36] Fujita
    Don't push yourself.
[19:37] Mei
    I won't.
[19:39] Yakumo
    No!
[19:40] Yakumo
    W-W-What are you doing?!
[19:44] Yakumo
    You have shown your true
    colors, Fujita-san!
[19:47] Yakumo
    No, you dirty policeman!
[19:49] Fujita
    Who are you calling "dirty"?
[19:51] Otojiro
    What the hell? You bastard, Fujita!
[19:56] Otojiro
    What are you doing to my precious Mei?
[19:59] Kyoka
    Now he's Otoyakko!
[20:02] Ougai
    My Little Squirrel is mine and mine alone.
[20:02] Syunso
    Dirty, dirty!
[20:03] Fujita
    Shut up!
[20:04] Otojiro
    What a pathetic man.
[20:06] Fujita
    Why, you...!
[20:06] Ougai
    I will have to make sure everyone
    else knows that as well,
[20:07] Otojiro
    Who do you think you are? How dare
    you speak to a lady like that!
[20:09] Kyoka
    You can't get away with that just
    because you're a policeman!
[20:09] Ougai
    since they keep doing regrettable
    things like offering her
[20:11] Yakumo
    It's nonsense for a man to
    treat a lady so badly.
[20:11] Ougai
    alcohol and trying to feed her.
[20:13] Fujita
    How the heck is he a lady?!
[20:14] Syunso
    Ugh, I'm hungry.
[20:16] Otojiro
    Okay, we're going to drink
    some more. Come on, Mei.
[20:19] Kyoka
    He told Mei to come.
[20:20] Yakumo
    He did indeed.
[20:21] Ougai
    Now, now, everyone please refrain from
    dragging my Little Squirrel around.
[20:25] Ougai
    Are you listening? Hey, you guys!
[20:29] Mei
    It's not a good idea to
    drink too much, everyone!
[20:40] Syunso
    Huh? An eel? Okay.
[20:49] Syunso
    And wit dat de eel ish done.
[20:53] Kyoka
    Hey, dats not an eel!
[20:56] Syunso
    Itsh totally an eel.
[20:58] Yakumo
    Such a shplendid eel. It's great!
[20:58] Kyoka
    Do it over.
[21:02] Otojiro
    I wanna eat shome eel!
[21:04] Yakumo
    Haven't you had enough to eat?
[21:06] Kyoka
    I wanna eat tofu!
[21:08] Syunso
    Huh?
[21:09] Syunso
    Tofu looksh like dis.
[21:10] Ougai
    How about a drink, Inspector Fujita?
[21:12] Kyoka
    Hey, it's tofu! Looks shoo good.
[21:13] Fujita
    Sure.
[21:16] Fujita
    Now then,
[21:19] Fujita
    Army Surgeon First Class Mori,
    what did you come here for?
[21:23] Ougai
    I wondered if a member of the
     Supernatural Division, such as yourself,
[21:28] Ougai
    might be able to protect that incredibly
    important girl in ways that I cannot.
[21:32] Fujita
    What?
[21:35] Fujita
    I can't do that.
[21:36] Ougai
    Why not?
[21:37] Fujita
    She already turned me down.
[21:39] Ougai
    Well, then.
[21:41] Fujita
    She's a strange girl.
[21:43] Ougai
    There is no other girl as good as her.
[21:54] Fujita
    They are a boisterous bunch,
[21:57] Fujita
    but this evening wasn't so bad.
[22:08] Ougai
    It's all thanks to her.
[22:12] Mei
    Okay, everyone, I've brought refills.
[22:16] Otojiro
    Oh, how thoughtful of you.
[22:18] Yakumo
    Thank you very much, Mei-san!
[22:20] Kyoka
    Yuck, what is this?
[22:20] Ougai
    Mei...
[22:22] Syunso
    So this ain't alcohol?
[22:24] Mei
    Nope. You've all had far too much to
    drink, so I brought you some water.
[22:29] Otojiro
    No way! Come on!
[22:30] All
    Stop playing! More alcohol!
