***SIGN*** Meiji Tokyo Renka
**[01:34] Fujita**
Get back, Koizumi!
**[01:39] Fujita**
There you are, spirit!
**[01:41] Yakumo**
Fujita-san!
**[01:49] Yakumo**
Jane...
***SIGN*** Caught in the Ghost Hotel
**[02:12] Mei**
W-W-Wha?!
**[02:13] Ougai**
This is the most delicious
dessert in the world:
**[02:16] Ougai**
sweet bun with tea and rice.
**[02:19] Ougai**
You break the sweet bun into pieces
with your chopsticks like so,
**[02:22] Ougai**
getting the sweet red bean paste
onto each and every grain of rice.
**[02:29] Ougai**
Fumi-san.
**[02:30] Fumi**
Yes, sir.
**[02:31] Ougai**
Here, Little Squirrel.
**[02:37] Ougai**
It's good, isn't it?
**[02:39] Ougai**
Syunso.
**[02:40] Syunso**
Yes?
**[02:41] Ougai**
I have enough for you, too.
**[02:43] Syunso**
No, I'm fine...
**[02:45] Ougai**
Don't be shy now.
**[02:47] Ougai**
Come on, say ah.
**[02:57] Mei**
Meow, meow...
**[02:59] Mei**
C'mere, black kitty.
**[03:02] Mei**
I can still taste it.
**[03:04] Syunso**
He even made me have some.
**[03:07] Syunso**
Anyway...
**[03:08] Syunso**
What's that?
**[03:11] Mei**
Oh, it's katsuobushi.
**[03:13] Mei**
I borrowed it from Fumi-san.
**[03:14] Syunso**
And you're going to find
the black cat with that?
**[03:18] Mei**
I should be able to, right?
**[03:21] Mei**
Don't cats like katsuobushi?
**[03:24] Syunso**
Even ghost cats?
**[03:26] Mei**
A ghost cat should still like it,
since it's a cat, shouldn't it?
**[03:30] Syunso**
I wouldn't know.
**[03:31] Syunso**
Besides, can you find it
during the day?
**[03:35] Syunso**
I heard you can't see ghosts
unless it is the dark hours.
**[03:38] Mei**
Dark hours?
**[03:40] Syunso**
It's the time between dusk and dawn.
**[03:43] Syunso**
You're a Tamayori and you
don't even know that?
**[03:46] Mei**
Ah, no. I had no idea.
**[03:50] Mei**
What should we do now, then?
**[03:53] Syunso**
I'm going back.
**[03:55] Yakumo**
Please, I'm begging you, Izumi-san.
**[03:58] Kyoka**
I told you, I can't do it.
**[04:01] Yakumo**
Please, I have nothing without your help!
**[04:05] Kyoka**
You're so annoying.
**[04:06] Syunso**
Izumi.
**[04:08] Yakumo**
Oh, Hishida-san. And what's this?
**[04:12] Yakumo**
This girl would be the one
**[04:14] Yakumo**
I met at the Rokumeikan. Umm...
**[04:18] Yakumo**
pardon me, but what is your name?
**[04:21] Mei**
Ayazuki Mei.
**[04:23] Mei**
And you are, uh, Yakumo-san and Kyoka-san.
**[04:27] Yakumo**
Wow, you remembered who I am!
**[04:30] Yakumo**
I am so moved!
**[04:32] Yakumo**
The Western-style short skirt from
the other evening was splendid,
**[04:37] Yakumo**
but you're beautiful in
Japanese clothing as well.
**[04:39] Kyoka**
Oh, you're the weird girl from before.
**[04:42] Mei**
Weird girl?
**[04:44] Mei**
Huh?
**[04:45] Kyoka**
W-What? Stop staring at me.
**[04:48] Mei**
It's not with you today?
The rabbit from that night.
**[04:56] Kyoka**
So you are one.
**[05:00] Kyoka**
Koizumi-san, you should have
this girl handle your request.
**[05:04] Yakumo**
Have Mei-san do it?
**[05:07] Yakumo**
Why?
**[05:08] Kyoka**
Because apparently she's also a Tamayori.
**[05:11] Yakumo**
What?! Is that true?
**[05:13] Mei**
Ah, yes, most likely.
**[05:15] Mei**
Wait... You're one too, Kyoka-san?
**[05:18] Kyoka**
I told you to stay back!
**[05:20] Mei**
Then that means that rabbit is a ghost,
**[05:23] Mei**
and that's why I can't
see it during the day!
**[05:27] Yakumo**
Mei-san, please let me rent your powers!
**[05:31] Mei**
Eh?!
**[05:32] Yakumo**
It is truly destiny that I have met
a Tamayori like you!
**[05:36] Yakumo**
Please, I want you to help me see Jane again.
**[05:40] Mei**
Jane?
**[05:44] Ougai**
Essentially,
**[05:46] Ougai**
you wish to have Mei catch
this ghost known as Jane?
**[05:50] Yakumo**
No, I don't want to catch her,
**[05:53] Yakumo**
I just want to speak with her.
**[05:57] Yakumo**
She is a childhood friend of mine.
**[06:00] Mei**
You're friends with a ghost?
**[06:02] Yakumo**
Yes.
**[06:04] Yakumo**
Mei-san, when I was younger, I was
able to see ghosts like you can.
**[06:09] Mei**
You were, Yakumo-san?
**[06:11] Yakumo**
Yes. Jane...
**[06:14] Yakumo**
She and I got along so well, it was almost
like we were brother and sister.
**[06:20] Yakumo**
It doesn't matter whether
she is a ghost or not.
**[06:24] Yakumo**
My parents divorced when I was very
young. I always felt lonely,
**[06:30] Yakumo**
and she was the only
emotional support I had.
**[06:33] Yakumo**
But then, one day...
**[06:34] Patrick**
Eight, nine, ten!
**[06:37] (Flashback) Patrick**
Ready or not, here I come!
**[06:39] (Flashback) Jane**
Say, Patrick, do you think
you can find the real me?
**[06:44] (Flashback) Patrick**
The real you?
**[06:45] (Flashback) Jane**
But, if you do find me, you might hate me.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Patrick**
I would never hate you!
**[06:52] (Flashback) Jane**
You mean it?
**[06:54] (Flashback) Patrick**
Jane!
**[06:56] (Flashback) Patrick**
Found you!
**[07:05] (Flashback) Jane**
P-Patrick...
**[07:10] (Flashback) Jane**
Patrick...
**[07:20] (Flashback) Patrick**
Jane?
**[07:23] (Flashback) Patrick**
Jane?!
**[07:28] (Flashback) Patrick**
Jane!
**[07:31] Yakumo**
It was terrible for me to scream like that
**[07:34] Yakumo**
upon seeing her face,
even if I had been startled.
**[07:38] Yakumo**
I tried to apologize immediately,
**[07:41] Yakumo**
but I lost one of my eyes in an
accident soon after that incident.
**[07:48] Yakumo**
I have not been able to
see ghosts ever since.
**[07:53] Yakumo**
What happened that day has long
since plagued my thoughts.
**[07:57] Yakumo**
For all this time.
**[08:00] Yakumo**
However, since the red
full moon the other night,
**[08:04] Yakumo**
strange things have frequently
been happening around me.
**[08:07] Mei**
Since the night of the red full moon?
**[08:20] (Flashback) Yakumo**
Oh, a poltergeist?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Yakumo**
Wonderful!
**[08:25] Yakumo**
As a researcher of the paranomal,
**[08:25] Yakumo**
Oh! Amazing!
**[08:28] Yakumo**
I was happy to see
these things, at first.
**[08:31] Yakumo**
But then...
**[08:44] (Flashback) Yakumo**
Jane!
**[08:46] (Flashback) Fujita**
There you are, spirit!
**[08:47] (Flashback) Yakumo**
Wait!
**[08:49] Yakumo**
Those incidents were caused
by Jane's wrath against me.
**[08:55] Yakumo**
I want to apologize to Jane.
**[08:58] Yakumo**
If her anger is such that
she wishes to kill me,
**[09:02] Yakumo**
then I want to answer for that.
**[09:04] Mei**
What are you talking about?!
**[09:07] Yakumo**
Mei-san, ghosts cannot
be seen by just anyone.
**[09:12] Yakumo**
That is why those who *can* see them
are incredibly precious to them,
**[09:17] Yakumo**
since there are ghosts who have spent
hundreds, even thousands, of years all alone.
**[09:23] Yakumo**
Nevertheless, I hurt her and then lost
my eye through my own carelessness.
**[09:31] Yakumo**
Losing my sight was tantamount
to Jane disappearing.
**[09:36] Mei**
Yakumo-san...
**[09:39] Ougai**
I understand your situation.
**[09:41] Ougai**
However, Koizumi-san, my apologies,
**[09:42] Ougai**
but I cannot allow my fiancée
to do something so—
**[09:45] Mei**
Okay, I'll help you!
**[09:47] Ougai**
Wha? What are you saying, Mei?
**[09:50] Mei**
I can't just neglect him!
**[09:53] Mei**
I would love to help, if you'll allow me.
**[09:58] Yakumo**
Mei-san...
**[10:09] Ougai**
Syunso.
**[10:10] Syunso**
Yes?
**[10:11] Ougai**
You go with her as well.
**[10:12] Syunso**
Why do I have to go?
**[10:14] Ougai**
Unfortunately, I am expecting a visitor
today and cannot go with her.
**[10:20] Ougai**
I would like you, someone I can trust,
to be her bodyguard.
**[10:24] Ougai**
Understood? I just wouldn't be able to bear
it if anything happened to my Little Squirrel.
**[10:29] Ougai**
You be sure to protect her now, got it?
**[10:34] Syunso**
Got it.
**[10:37] Mei**
Ougai-san.
**[10:39] Yakumo**
Thank you, everyone!
**[10:41] Yakumo**
I'll finally be able to speak with Jane.
**[10:44] Ougai**
You sure you got it?
**[10:45] Mei**
Yes!
**[10:45] Syunso**
I really do.
**[10:53] Shibusawa**
I would like you to order another
iron plate from America.
**[10:56] Shibusawa**
The previous one was ten tons,
but this one needs to be 150 tons.
**[10:59] Man**
Shibusawa-san...
**[11:02] Yakumo**
I will be in the study next door.
**[11:05] Yakumo**
I will call for you if
anything paranormal happens.
**[11:07] Yakumo**
I would like you to please summon me
if anything like that happens to you.
**[11:11] Yakumo**
Oh, and one more thing.
Fujita-san will be on patrol,
**[11:13] Yakumo**
so do your best to make
sure he doesn't see you.
**[11:17] Mei**
*We're sharing the room.*
**[11:20] Mei**
A king-sized bed!
**[11:31] Syunso**
Huh?
**[11:32] Mei**
Eh?
**[11:34] Syunso**
Why are you sitting on the floor?
**[11:36] Mei**
Well...
**[11:38] Syunso**
Why don't you sit here?
**[11:39] Mei**
Oh, I'm fine.
**[11:52] Syunso**
By the way,
**[11:54] Syunso**
what do you think about Ougai-san
referring to you as his fiancée?
**[11:58] Mei**
What do you mean?
**[12:00] Syunso**
How do you feel about it?
**[12:02] Mei**
How do I feel?
**[12:09] Mei**
*It surprised me, but it made me happy.*
**[12:16] Syunso**
Never mind. You don't have to answer.
**[12:20] Mei**
Oh, okay.
**[12:30] Mei**
What's that?
**[12:32] Syunso**
A ghost.
**[12:33] Syunso**
Isn't it? I've never seen one before.
**[12:36] Mei**
The ones I've seen have
been a bit more cute.
**[12:40] Mei**
Can I borrow that?
**[12:42] Mei**
They're more like this...
**[12:46] Mei**
Uh?
**[12:47] Syunso**
The only thing this tells me is that you're
definitely not a Japanese painter.
**[12:54] Syunso**
I envy you, being able to see another world.
**[12:59] Syunso**
If I were a Tamayori, I would paint that world.
**[13:04] Syunso**
I like the dark hours.
**[13:06] Syunso**
There's no noise,
so I can focus on my paintings.
**[13:11] Syunso**
You realize more clearly what truly matters.
**[13:15] Syunso**
I'm sure Yakumo-san is happy
**[13:18] Syunso**
just because you're here.
**[13:20] Syunso**
It was the same for me,
**[13:23] Syunso**
when you said you would
help me find the black cat.
**[13:26] Syunso**
At first I thought you were just
being meddlesome, but I was happy.
**[13:30] Syunso**
I honestly never thought I would paint—
**[14:14] Yakumo**
Mei-san!
**[14:15] Yakumo**
Has she appeared?
**[14:16] Mei**
Th-Th-There was a brown-haired lady just now!
**[14:19] Yakumo**
Jane, is that you?
**[14:23] Yakumo**
Jane!
**[14:28] Fujita**
You again, girl? Is this your doing?
**[14:31] Mei**
No!
**[14:36] Fujita**
So it was you.
**[14:38] Yakumo**
Jane!
**[14:41] Fujita**
And you think you've hidden from me?
**[14:45] Mei**
Please wait!
**[14:49] Fujita**
Girl...
**[14:51] Mei**
Jane-san is crying.
**[15:10] Yakumo**
Jane!
**[15:15] Yakumo**
Jane, I'm sorry. Forgive me.
**[15:18] Yakumo**
Please don't hurt these people.
**[15:21] Yakumo**
If you want to kill me, do it!
**[15:24] Yakumo**
Jane...
**[15:25] Yakumo**
I would like for you to kill me.
**[15:31] Yakumo**
I've done something that cannot
be taken back, so please...
**[15:36] Yakumo**
Kill me, kill me...
**[15:40] Mei**
Smile.
**[15:42] Mei**
Smile, Patrick.
**[15:45] Mei**
Please.
**[15:48] Mei**
That is what Jane-san is saying.
**[15:56] Yakumo**
Jane is saying that?
**[16:00] Mei & Jane**
I have always been by your side,
**[16:03] Mei & Jane**
even after you injured your eye.
**[16:09] Jane**
But no matter how much I called out to you...
**[16:13] (Flashback) Patrick**
Jane, I'm sorry.
**[16:15] Jane**
I couldn't reach you.
**[16:16] (Flashback) Patrick**
Jane, please forgive me.
**[16:18] Jane**
It was like I was about to disappear.
**[16:21] Jane**
And I spent all that time...
**[16:22] (Flashback) Patrick**
Jane...
**[16:23] Jane**
...feeling that way for years and years.
**[16:28] Jane**
But I suddenly felt a surge of power during
the red full moon the other night.
**[16:35] Jane**
The power to tell you how I felt.
**[16:38] Yakumo**
Then that...
**[16:44] Yakumo**
was your rage towards me.
**[16:46] Yakumo**
An expression of anger for what I have done.
**[16:49] Yakumo**
I deserve to be cursed by you, but...
**[16:51] Jane**
No.
**[16:54] Jane**
No... That was because I
couldn't control it properly.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Jane**
Patrick, Patrick!
**[17:02] (Flashback) Yakumo**
Oh, amazing!
**[17:04] (Flashback) Jane**
Patrick, Patrick, listen to me.
**[17:13] (Flashback) Jane**
Patrick...
**[17:16] Jane**
I'm sorry.
**[17:17] Jane**
I thought I finally had the
power to reach out to you,
**[17:21] Jane**
and I ended up scaring you.
**[17:23] Jane**
But...
**[17:24] Mei & Jane**
But... this girl noticed me.
**[17:29] Mei**
Me?
**[17:30] Jane**
This girl found me and subdued my powers,
**[17:35] Jane**
so I could finally speak with you like this.
**[17:45] Jane**
You know, Patrick, we got along
better than anyone else, didn't we?
**[17:51] Jane**
We cared about each other more
than anyone else, didn't we?
**[17:56] Jane**
So why would you think I was angry?
**[18:00] Yakumo**
Jane, when you disappeared
**[18:05] Yakumo**
in front of me that day,
**[18:10] Yakumo**
I felt like I had done something
I could never take back.
**[18:17] Jane**
That was because I felt embarrassed.
**[18:22] Jane**
I was trying to test you.
**[18:25] Jane**
But I ended up tormenting you
and I wanted to disappear.
**[18:29] Jane**
I'm sorry. I never thought that it would
cause us to be apart for such a long time.
**[18:38] Yakumo**
Really?
**[18:40] Yakumo**
Really?
**[18:42] Yakumo**
That's all that was?
**[18:44] Yakumo**
Oh gosh, so that's all that was, Jane!
**[18:48] Yakumo**
Jane? Jane?
**[18:52] Yakumo**
I spun around, and now I've lost sight of her.
**[18:54] Yakumo**
Where are you, Jane? Jane!
**[18:57] Yakumo**
Ja—
**[19:05] Yakumo**
It's so warm...
**[19:09] Mei**
Jane-san is here.
**[19:16] Jane**
I always will be, forever.
**[19:19] Jane**
Even if you can't see me,
**[19:22] Jane**
I will always be near you, Patrick.
**[19:50] Yakumo**
Jane...
**[20:04] Yakumo**
Mei-san, thank you very much.
**[20:07] Yakumo**
Thanks to you, I was finally able
to find something precious.
**[20:10] Mei**
Me, too. I realize now
why your stories are so loved.
**[20:16] Mei**
The reason that stories like "Hoichi the Earless"
and "The Snow Woman" are filled with heart,
**[20:19] Mei**
despite being scary, is because of the deep
affection you have towards ghosts, Yakumo-san.
**[20:25] Yakumo**
Oh my! You have read two of my stories?
**[20:30] Yakumo**
Not only are you a Tamayori, but you
are full of such extensive knowledge.
**[20:32] Yakumo**
You are full of surprises!
**[20:35] Mei**
W-Well... Anyway, I am also grateful to you.
**[20:40] Mei**
I feel like I've learned
a bit more about myself.
**[20:45] Yakumo**
Mei-san...
**[20:46] Mei**
And that goes for you, too, Syunso-san.
**[20:52] Mei**
Thank you for what you said.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Syunso**
I'm sure Yakumo-san is happy
**[20:57] (Flashback) Syunso**
just because you're here.
**[20:59] Mei**
I was able to manage because of your words.
**[21:03] Syunso**
Sure.
**[21:04] Ougai**
Looks like things are resolved here.
**[21:06] Mei**
Ougai-san!
**[21:07] Ougai**
I'd hoped to get here a bit sooner,
**[21:11] Ougai**
but dealing with my visitor took
more time than I expected.
**[21:14] Ougai**
Well, now, allow me to verify that
my fiancée is indeed all right.
**[21:21] Mei**
O-Ougai-san?
**[21:25] Ougai**
I'm sorry I was late.
**[21:33] Mei**
Ougai-san...
**[21:41] Ougai**
You, too, Syunso.
**[21:45] Ougai**
You carried out your duty splendidly.
**[21:49] Syunso**
C-Come on, please stop, Ougai-san!
**[21:52] Ougai**
You should hug me back.
**[21:52] Yakumo**
That is how he is protecting you.
**[21:54] Syunso**
I don't want to.
**[21:55] Mei**
Eh?
**[21:56] Yakumo**
Mori-san.
**[21:57] Yakumo**
Saying you are the fiancée
of an army surgeon first class
**[22:00] Yakumo**
means no one can meddle with you heedlessly.
**[22:03] Yakumo**
Not even that man from the police's
supernatural division.
**[22:07] (Flashback) Fujita**
Girl, I won't show you any mercy
if you do anything suspicious again.
**[22:14] Yakumo**
You are loved.
**[22:16] Mei**
L-Loved?!
**[22:17] Yakumo**
But I would also like to devote more love to y—
**[22:22] Ougai**
Now then, why don't we have a party with
steamed buns with tea and rice to celebrate.
**[22:27] Mei**
Huh?
**[22:28] Syunso**
Hey!

U-Umm... Where
are we going?
**[23:34] Ougai**
To an enjoyable place.
**[23:35] Mei**
Eh?
**[23:36] Ougai**
Are you familiar with
the flower of Asakusa?
