SIGN    Meiji Tokyo Renka [01:32] Ougai     Please do not glower so severely     at my precious fiancée. [01:39] Mei     F-Fiancée? [01:46] Ougai     You belong to me. [01:53] Ougai     Isn't that right? [02:09] Mei     Huh? SIGN    Meiji Tokyo Renka [02:30] (Flashback) Ougai     My precious fiancée. [02:32] (Flashback) Ougai     You belong to me. [02:35] (Flashback) Ougai     Isn't that right? [02:37] Mei     W-Wha? Eh? [02:40] (Flashback) Fujita     What are you trying to pull? [02:44] Fujita     Mori Ougai-dono. [02:48] Mei     Mori Ougai? [02:58] (Flashback) Yakumo     Why, if it isn't the     young lady from earlier! [03:01] (Flashback) Yakumo     I was rather curious about this earlier, [03:04] (Flashback) Yakumo     but this design is quite reasonable,     yet innovative and revolutionary. [03:07] (Flashback) Ougai     I knew you would understand, Koizumi-san. [03:09] (Flashback) Ougai     Yes, that's right, what she     is wearing is a short... [03:14] (Flashback) Ougai & Yakumo     ...skirt!... [03:15] (Flashback) Ougai     ...that is all the rage in the West right now. [03:18] (Flashback) Yakumo     Yes! It's a skirt. [03:20] (Flashback) Ougai     Oh, a skart. [03:22] (Flashback) Yakumo     No, skirt! [03:24] (Flashback) Yakumo     Yes, a skirt! [03:29] (Flashback) Syunso     Huh? [03:34] (Flashback) Ougai     If we linger here any longer, that scary     police officer might come after us. [03:42] (Flashback) Ougai     You don't have anywhere     to go tonight, do you? [03:45] (Flashback) Ougai     My mansion has many available rooms,     if you would like. [03:50] (Flashback) Syunso     Hang on, Ougai-san. [04:01] Mei     It wasn't a dream...? SIGN    Sukiyaki Is Romance Veiled in Steam [04:28] (Flashback) Charlie     In other words, you traveled back in time. [04:32] Mei     Time travel?! [04:37] Mei     I traveled back in time? SIGN    Boom [04:50] Mei     We're being attacked! [04:52] Syunso     This is precisely why I told him I     didn't want her room next to mine. [04:55] Mei     W-W-We're being attacked by bad guys! [04:58] Syunso     What're you talking about? [05:00] Mei     That, that...! [05:01] Syunso     That's just the midday cannon. SIGN    Midday Cannon [05:02] Mei     T-The cannon? [05:04] Syunso     It fires blanks to inform     us when it is midday. [05:06] Syunso     You've even forgotten about that? [05:09] Syunso     Anyway, could you maybe     do something about that? [05:18] Mei     Th-These are... [05:23] Mei     They're so beautiful! [05:25] Syunso     Hey... [05:26] Mei     Huh? [05:30] Mei     You haven't finished this one yet? [05:32] Mei     There's nothing in the middle. [05:38] Mei     I guess I shouldn't have asked about it... [05:43] Ougai     There you are, Little Squirrel. [05:46] Fumi     Oh, when did you get back? [05:48] Ougai     I got back just now, Fumi-san. [05:52] Ougai     I heard the Little Squirrel's     voice from the second floor. [05:55] Mei     U-Umm... Who is this Little Squirrel? [06:00] Ougai     That would be you. [06:02] Ougai     It is what came to mind when we     first met and I saw you trembling. [06:08] Mei     Ah, I see. [06:11] Ougai     Have you remembered anything,     Little Squirrel? [06:14] Ougai     About your home or your parents? [06:17] Mei     Uh, no, nothing yet. [06:21] (Flashback) Charlie     You traveled back in time. [06:24] Mei     I probably shouldn't tell him that.     There's no way he'd believe me. [06:30] Ougai     I thought you might remember     something after a night of rest, [06:34] Ougai     but I guess it will not be so easy. [06:36] Ougai     Well, let's give it some time. [06:39] Ougai     You are welcome to stay here     until your memory returns. [06:43] Mei     Can I? [06:45] Ougai     Of course. Right, Syunso? [06:47] Syunso     I don't have any objections. [06:49] Syunso     Especially since I'm just a freeloader, too. [06:51] Mei     Thank you so much! [06:53] Mei     I will do my best to remember things so     I can leave as soon as possible. [06:58] Mei     I have to hurry up and     get back to my own time. [07:01] Ougai     You are welcome to stay forever,     even if your memories return. [07:10] Ougai     After all, you are my fiancée. [07:15] Ougai     Isn't that right? [07:19] Ougai     Now then, why don't we get something to eat? [07:22] Ougai     It will be a welcome party     for you, Little Squirrel. [07:24] Ougai     What would you like to eat? [07:28] Mei     No way, just letting me stay     here is more than enough! [07:32] Mei     You don't need to go through     such trouble for me... SIGN    Growl [07:35] Mei     Well, I guess a small beef     bowl would be nice... SIGN    Beef Bowl [07:39] Ougai & Syunso     Beef bowl? [07:41] Ougai     Are you referring to sukiyaki? [07:43] Syunso     That's a pretty audacious request. [07:45] Mei     No, no, it doesn't need to     be anything so expensive. [07:49] Mei     Just one of the 380 yen bowls. [07:52] Ougai & Syunso     380 yen?! SIGN    380 Yen [07:55] Syunso     Do you want to buy out     the place or something? [07:58] Ougai     Perhaps you are the daughter of an     extremely rich family, Little Squirrel? [08:02] Mei     Huh? Eh? Wha? [08:03] Mei     I-I see now. The value of money     is different in this time, [08:07] Mei     so I gotta be careful. [08:08] Mei     Umm, so how do I wear this stuff? [08:31] Mei     E-Excuse me! [08:33] Fumi     Yes? [08:34] Mei     It must be hard work, cleaning     this big mansion all by yourself. [08:38] Fumi     Yes, it really is. [08:41] Mei     They don't have vacuum cleaners     or mops in this time yet, either. [08:47] Fumi     Oh my. [08:56] Ougai     That looks rather nice on you. [08:58] Syunso     You're finally dressed appropriately. [09:02] Mei     I managed somehow, thanks to Fumi-san's help. [09:05] Fumi     She's even forgotten how to wear a kimono. [09:14] Mei     A Meiji era city... [09:18] Mei     Mori Ougai-san... [09:21] Mei     He's the Mori Ougai-san! SIGN    Sukiyaki SIGN    Iroha Sukiyaki [09:43] Ougai     Now, help yourself. [09:46] Ougai     If it's not enough, we can     order as much as you'd like. [09:49] Mei     O-Okay! Thank you for the food. [10:11] Mei     It's so good! [10:16] Syunso     You really like beef. [10:19] Mei     Yes! [10:20] Syunso     So you can still remember what you like,      even with the amnesia. [10:24] Mei     Yes, yes. [10:26] Mei     It just melts on my tongue. [10:29] Mei     This is the taste of high-quality protein. [10:34] Ougai     Syunso, this reminds me     of the day we met. [10:41] Ougai     It was a year ago. [10:49] Shiki     Eat beef from a pot,     and your tongue will burn. [10:53] Editor     That doesn't quite work, sir. [10:56] Shiki     Two out, bases loaded, huh? SIGN    One     Year     Ago [11:30] (Flashback) Syunso     How magnificent! [11:32] (Flashback) Syunso     I've never seen such a     beautiful creature before. [11:35] (Flashback) Syunso     May I pet you? [11:39] (Flashback) Syunso     The shiny luster of your black coat... [11:42] (Flashback) Syunso     A supple body that is elegantly streamlined, [11:46] (Flashback) Syunso     and bewitching golden eyes     that seduce the beholder. [11:50] (Flashback) Syunso     You're like an artwork of ultimate     natural beauty made by the divine! [12:05] (Flashback) Syunso     P-Pervert! [12:11] Mei     And that's how the two of you met? [12:14] Ougai     Indeed, Little Squirrel. It was quite     a stimulating encounter, wouldn't you say? [12:17] Syunso     That's not how I remember it! [12:20] Ougai     Syunso gets so taken with artistic passion [12:22] Ougai     when he finds a wonderful model     that he loses himself. [12:26] Ougai     How troublesome. [12:27] Syunso     You're the one who's troublesome! [12:30] Syunso     Could you please stop getting naked     all the time at 6 o'clock?! [12:33] Ougai     I can't do that. [12:34] Ougai     I am the kind of person who isn't satisfied [12:37] Ougai     unless my schedule is carried out regularly. [12:40] Ougai     My schedule is such that I bathe each day,      morning and evening, at 6 o'clock. [12:47] Mei     So that's how the two of     you began living together? [12:51] Ougai     Yes. [12:53] Ougai     When I looked at the drawing Syunso had made, [12:55] Ougai     I thought that this man would surely one day [12:59] Ougai     carry the weight of Japan's     art world on his shoulders. [13:01] Ougai     I decided to have him come stay in my     mansion since I found him fascinating. [13:05] Mei     Because he's fascinating? [13:07] Ougai     Yes, because he's fascinating. [13:10] Ougai     By the way, Little Squirrel,     may I ask you something? [13:14] Mei     Sure. [13:16] Ougai     Do you like cats? [13:19] Mei     Cats? [13:21] Mei     Yes, I'm decently fond of them. [13:24] Ougai     Wonderful. Then, would you mind     finding Syunso's black cat? [13:32] Mei     You had a black cat as a pet, Syunso-san? [13:35] Ougai     Yes, I guess you could say it was a pet. [13:39] Syunso     Ougai-san. [13:41] Ougai     What's the harm? [13:42] Ougai     Besides, your exhibition is coming up soon, [13:44] Ougai     and it is about time you were     recognized by the art world. [13:47] Mei     I fully understand! [13:48] Mei     I would be more than happy to help. [13:51] Mei     Should I make up some posters? SIGN    Missing [13:52] Ougai     That's a good idea.     Posters could be rather effective. [13:56] Ougai     But your powers as a Tamayori will     be needed to find Syunso's cat. [14:01] Mei     Eh? Tamayori? [14:06] Ougai     That's if you are truly a Tamayori, though. [14:11] Mei     Umm... [14:13] Mei     What is a Tamayori? SIGN    Fling [14:18] Ougai     Ah, yes, you do have amnesia. [14:22] Ougai     It is a name generally given to those who can [14:26] Ougai     see things not of this world.     Spirits, in other words. [14:30] Ougai     Spirits and those who could see them, [14:33] Ougai     the Tamayori, were not uncommon     in Japan in the past. [14:38] Ougai     However, with the progression of     modernization since the Meiji Restoration, [14:41] Ougai     a great number of the     spirits went into hiding, [14:44] Ougai     and the Tamayori's numbers     continued to decrease. [14:49] Ougai     Tamayori are now incredibly valuable. [14:53] (Flashback) Fujita     Are you a Tamayori? [14:55] Mei     Tamayori... [14:57] Ougai     Yes. Our conversation has     carried on a bit long, [15:01] Ougai     so why don't we get to eating this meat? [15:05] Mei     Okay. [15:11] Mei     A black cat? [15:12] Mei     That's what was missing from the painting. [15:16] Mei     A black cat! [15:18] Ougai     That's right. You figured it out quickly. [15:24] Mei     But how did I know that? [15:27] Ougai     Sometimes such things happen to     creative works full of soul. [15:32] Ougai     It is the sign of a masterpiece. [15:34] Ougai     That's why I would like you to find it. [15:38] Ougai     It is important to Syunso. [15:47] Ougai     That is, if you are indeed a Tamayori. [15:51] Ougai     I did wonder at that time     if you indeed saw a spirit. [15:57] Mei     That time...? [16:11] Mei     Do I really have such power? [16:14] Charlie     Mei-chan, Mei-chan, Mei-chan! [16:18] Mei     What? [16:21] Mei     What is this voice? [16:24] Mei     I've heard it somewhere before. [16:36] Mei     I... [16:37] Ougai     All right, that's enough. [16:42] Ougai     Well then, sweet buns are a great     way to finish up a hot pot meal. [16:45] Syunso     Please stop! [16:46] Mei     Sweet buns? [16:56] Mei     What am I supposed to do here? [17:06] Syunso     Hey. [17:12] Mei     Syunso-san. [17:14] Syunso     You don't need to worry about     what Ougai-san said earlier. [17:23] Syunso     There's no way a dense girl     like you is a Tamayori. [17:27] Mei     D-Dense? [17:47] Charlie     Mei-chan. [17:59] Mei     That man! [18:17] Charlie     Hey there. You made it. [18:19] Mei     I knew you would be here! [18:24] Charlie     You're so good, Mei-chan. [18:27] Mei     Please send me back! [18:28] Mei     Please send me back to my time! [18:32] Charlie     I am defenseless against that cold      expression mixed with resentment and scorn. [18:37] Mei     You're the one who brought     me to this time period! [18:40] Mei     You should be able to send me back. [18:42] Charlie     You want to go back to the     present time that badly? [18:48] Charlie     I can send you back. [18:50] Charlie     I just can't do it right away. [18:54] Charlie     I will need to prepare. [18:59] Charlie     I may be an extraordinary magician,     but transcending time takes a lot of work. [19:06] Charlie     I will need the same conditions     as when I brought you here. [19:10] Charlie     Essentially, the probability of success [19:13] Charlie     is extremely low unless it is      the night of a full moon. [19:17] Mei     The night of a full moon? [19:21] Mei     Then I can go back in a month? [19:25] Mei     To my world, modern day Tokyo! [19:27] Charlie     I can guarantee it. [19:30] Charlie     Now, until the one month period is up, [19:35] Charlie     enjoy this time. [19:38] Charlie     Just be yourself. [19:40] Mei     Be myself? [19:43] Charlie     Tokyo during the Meiji era is great! [19:47] Charlie     Japanese and Western styles blending     together at the height of Japan's Westernization. [19:50] Charlie     It has a spirit that is full of energy. [19:52] Charlie     Anything goes! [19:54] Charlie     You don't need to worry about [19:57] Charlie     what others think about you or hating     yourself in such a chaotic age. [20:00] Charlie     You can just comfortably     be yourself here, Mei-chan! [20:04] Mei     Be myself? [20:08] Mei     You mean... [20:10] (Flashback) Ougai     Your powers as a Tamayori will be needed. [20:15] Mei     Is that it? [20:18] Charlie     What is it? [20:21] Mei     Be myself. [20:23] Mei     One month... If it's just one month, [20:27] Mei     I will try to enjoy this time period. [20:45] Mei     Syunso-san! [20:46] Syunso     Would you say something before you enter? [20:51] Mei     Wait, Syunso-san, what are you doing? [20:55] Mei     I am going to find the black cat. [20:58] Syunso     Huh? What's with you all of the sudden? [21:01] Mei     I think I am a Tamayori. [21:04] Mei     So I believe I can find the black cat. [21:07] Mei     I want to see your finished painting! [21:20] Mei     Oh, Ougai-san. [21:23] Mei     Do you have any extra cloth or sticks? [21:27] Mei     They're finished! [21:31] Ougai     What are those? [21:32] Mei     Cleaning tools. [21:39] Mei     You use it like this! [21:42] Mei     See, now this should make things     a little bit easier on Fumi-san. [21:53] Ougai     Little Squirrel, you... [21:57] Mei     Do you want to try it too, Fumi-san? [21:59] Fumi     Yes, I would! [22:02] Fumi     Oh, you are right! This is     so much easier on my back. [22:06] Mei     Isn't it? [22:11] Ougai     Just who are you? [22:19] Charlie     Good luck searching for     the black cat, Mei-chan. [22:22] Charlie     But there might be lots of other     fun things waiting for you.
