[00:06] Kanna
    Oh!
SIGN    Cafe
[00:08] T
    Christmas, huh?
[00:09] T
    It pains me to celebrate the
    birth of that guy's son,
SIGN    Realty
[00:13] T
    but it does sound like a fun event.
[00:16] Butcher
    Oh, Tohru-chan!
[00:18] T
    Hello.
[00:19] T
    Huh? Are you hurt?
[00:22] Butcher
    I am. I was practicing for the nearby
    old folk home's Christmas Eve show,
SIGN    Roast Chicken
[00:27] Butcher
    but I hurt my leg badly.
[00:28] Kanna
    Oh!
[00:29] T
    How frail.
[00:31] Butcher
    Right!
[00:32] Butcher
    Could you put on a show
    in my stead, Tohru-chan?
[00:36] T
    Huh?
SIGN    Taxes Included in Prices
[00:37] Butcher
    I feel bad since the folks in the
    home were looking forward to it.
[00:41] T
    You want us to?
[00:43] T
    Is that all right?
[00:44] Butcher
    Of course!
[00:46] Butcher
    You're the pride of our shopping district.
[00:51] T
    All right!
[00:53] T
    Leave it to me.
[02:27] T
    So that's how things turned out.
[02:29] K
    Are you sure?
[02:31] T
    Of course!
[02:32] K
    I'd like to help out too,
    but right now I've got work...
[02:37] T
    Just leave it to me
[02:39] T
    and focus on your work, Miss Kobayashi.
[02:42] K
    If you say so.
[02:45] T
    Now's the time to call for help
    from my reliable friends.
[02:50] T
    Everyone, let's do our best!
[02:53] All
    Yeah!
[02:54] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[02:56] Elma
    Hey, wait!
[02:57] T
    What is it?
[02:58] E
    I was told I could eat my fill
    of candy if I came here.
[03:03] E
    I even made time in my schedule
    during this busy time of the year!
[03:06] T
    I've heard from Miss Kobayashi, Elma,
[03:09] T
    that you're still useless at work.
[03:11] T
    And that they announced you wouldn't
    be useful in this busy period.
[03:17] E
    B-But I can touch type now!
[03:20] E
    And I can't afford to
    interfere with this world...
[03:24] T
    You're already interfering plenty.
[03:28] Saikawa
    Umm, where's Kanna-san's mom?
[03:31] T
    Unlike Elma, Miss Kobayashi's busy.
[03:34] T
    So let's do this on our own.
[03:37] Lucoa
    You heard her.
[03:38] Fafnir
    Boring.
[03:40] Fafnir
    I heard something important was going on,
    but we're just putting on a show for humans?
[03:46] Lucoa
    Well, why not?
[03:48] Lucoa
    Let's watch over her.
[03:50] F
    Hmph.
SIGN    Show Ideas
[03:51] E
    So?
[03:52] E
    What are we doing for this show?
[03:55] Lucoa
    It needs to be something
    the elderly will enjoy.
[03:59] T
    Does anyone have any ideas?
[04:02] E
    How about an eating contest?
[04:04] L
    You just want to eat.
[04:06] Kanna
    A race.
[04:07] L
    They might die.
[04:09] Fafnir
    We could play a VR FPS, FFA.
[04:13] L
    I'm sorry, could you speak Japanese?
[04:15] T
    All of these ideas require the
    audience to participate, don't they?
[04:19] E
    You haven't proposed anything yourself!
[04:22] T
    Do either of you have any ideas?
[04:25] Shouta
    I'm okay with anything.
[04:26] Sakiawa
    Then how about a play?
[04:29] E
    A play?
[04:30] E
    You mean that thing where
    humans act on a stone stage?
[04:34] Saikawa
    Stone stage?
[04:35] T
    A play sounds great!
[04:38] T
    Let's do that.
[04:40] E
    But what play would we even put on?
[04:43] Saikawa
    Since it's Christmas,
     why not The Little Match Girl?
[04:47] T
    What's that story about?
[04:49] Saikawa
    On a cold, cold winter night,
    a poor little girl is selling matchsticks.
[04:54] Saikawa
    None of the people passing
    by will buy any from her.
[04:58] Saikawa
    So in order to warm her chilled body,
    she lights one of the matches.
[05:03] Saikawa
    Then, in the flame, she sees a warm
    stove and lots of delicious food.
[05:09] Saikawa
    She lights match after match, and eventually
    her beloved dead grandmother appears.
[05:17] Saikawa
    So the little girl continues
    lighting her matches
[05:19] Saikawa
    to keep her grandmother from disappearing,
[05:22] Saikawa
    and the grandmother gently
    hugs the little girl.
[05:27] Saikawa
    Then the little girl ascends to heaven,
    embraced in her grandmother's warmth.
[05:32] Saikawa
    It's a bit of a sad story.
[05:36] Shouta
    It's famous.
[05:38] T
    I see.
[05:39] T
    So what happens to the little girl
    after she ascends to heaven?
[05:43] E
    You idiot. That means she died.
[05:46] T
    Oh. So she strangled her own granddaughter.
[05:50] Grandma
    Die!
[05:50] E
    That's not it either!
[05:52] Kanna
    Saikawa, you know so much. I'm amazed.
[05:57] Saikawa
    Well, yeah.
[05:58] T
    Then let's go ahead with
    The Little Match Girl.
[06:01] All
    Yeah!
[06:03] E
    Will we be all right?
[06:06] Fafnir
    I'm the director, Fafnir.
[06:08] Fafnir
    Since I'll be directing,
    I won't allow half-baked acting.
[06:12] Fafnir
    I'm the absolute authority here.
[06:14] Fafnir
    I won't accept objections.
[06:17] T
    To be blunt, you're only director by
    elimination, because you can't act.
[06:21] Luca
    It was a good compromise.
[06:23] F
    First we need to decide on our lead actor.
[06:26] F
    Each of you try acting out
    The Little Match Girl.
[06:30] T
    Number One, Tohru!
[06:31] T
    Pleasure to meet you.
[06:33] Fafnir
    Just get started.
[06:35] Fafnir
    Don't disappoint me.
[06:37] T
    Matches! Need any matches?
[06:40] Fafnir
    Boring.
[06:42] T
    Really?
[06:43] Fafnir
    Are you able to see them?
[06:45] Fafnir
    The heartless humans
    passing before your eyes?
[06:49] Fafnir
    Feel it.
[06:50] Fafnir
    Then your lines will come to you naturally.
[06:54] T
    Feel it...?
[06:55] T
    You foolish, inferior humans!
[06:58] T
    How dare you ignore me?!
[07:00] T
    You'll pay for that crime with your death!
[07:01] F
    Fail. Next.
[07:03] E
    Number Two, Elma. Nice to meet you.
[07:07] E
    Matches? Do you need any matches?
[07:09] F
    Nope.
[07:10] E
    Please! At least hear me out!
[07:13] E
    I can't go back to the office
    until I've sold them all!
[07:16] F
    What are you doing?
[07:18] E
    The salesmen that come to our
    company are always like that.
[07:21] F
    Hard life. Next.
[07:24] Saikawa
    N-Number Three,
    Saikawa Riko. Nice to meet you.
[07:30] Saikawa
    U-Umm...
[07:33] Saikawa
    I-I-I'm sorry!
[07:36] Fafnir
    None of you are any good.
[07:39] T
    We don't really understand your
    directing policy to begin with.
[07:42] L
    Me, me!
[07:44] T
    What is it?
[07:45] L
    Let me be the director.
[07:48] L
    Shouta can be the lead.
[07:50] Shouta
    Huh?!
[07:51] E
    What are you saying?
[07:53] E
    Shouta's a boy.
[07:55] L
    Well, leave that to me.
[07:58] L
    Shouta, come here.
[08:06] E
    He looks just like a girl.
[08:08] Kanna
    Cute.
[08:10] T
    He passes.
[08:11] Saikawa
    Well, he's not as cute as Kanna-san.
[08:13] Sh
    Wha...
[08:14] All
    Wha?
[08:15] Shouta
    What are you all planning
    to achieve by embarrassing me?!
[08:17] L
    Shouta?!
[08:19] T
    Well, that was to be expected.
[08:23] L
    Cheer up.
[08:24] T
    What should we do?
[08:26] E
    I'll be the director.
[08:28] E
    I'll be better than those two at least.
[08:30] T
    Right.
[08:31] T
    Also, what to do about our lead.
[08:40] Kanna
    Matches.
[08:42] Kanna
    Matches.
[08:43] Kanna
    Buy some matches.
[08:50] Both
    Yeah, this is it.
[08:55] K
    I'm home.
[08:58] Kanna
    Matches.
[08:59] Kanna
    Do you need any matches?
[09:03] K
    What's going on here?
[09:05] T
    We decided to perform The Little
    Match Girl for the show.
[09:09] T
    Kanna was chosen to be our lead.
[09:12] K
    Oh, I see.
[09:14] K
    That's incredible, Kanna-chan.
[09:17] Kanna
    Yeah, I'll work hard.
[09:19] K
    I'll be sure to come watch.
[09:22] K
    Think you can handle it?
[09:24] T
    Of course!
[09:25] T
    We'll get through it easily.
[09:28] K
    Okay.
[09:29] Kanna
    Do you need any matches?
[09:31] K
    She's most dangerous
    when she gets like this.
[09:35] K
    Well, I'm going to go take a bath.
[09:36] ---
    Matches... Matches...
[09:37] T
    Sure!
[09:40] T
    Yes, yes.
[09:42] T
    Hello, this is the Kobayashi residence.
[09:44] Fafnir
    It's me. I thought about
    the script some on my own.
[09:48] T
    So you hadn't given up, Mr. Fafnir?
[09:51] T
    What did you come up with then?
[09:51] ---
    Matches.
[09:53] Fafnir
    If we stick to the original play,
    it won't match the current era.
[09:57] Fafnir
    So I decided to make the
    little girl into a magical girl—
[10:00] T
    Well, time to prepare
    Miss Kobayashi's dinner.
[10:04] Kanna
    Do you need any matches?
[10:17] Kanna
    Lady Tohru. Is there a
    chimney in this house?
[10:20] T
    Chimney?
[10:22] T
    No, there isn't.
[10:24] Kanna
    Saikawa said Santa visits
    by coming down chimneys.
[10:28] T
    Oh, you mean that old man
    who's covered in blood?
[10:32] Santa
    Hey!
[10:32] Kanna
    Will Santa be able to come
    if we don't have a chimney?
[10:35] T
    Hmm, all right.
[10:47] K
    What's this?
SIGN    Episode 10
SIGN    Troupe Dragon, On Stage! (They Had A Troupe Name, Huh)
[10:55] E
    What are you doing?!
[10:57] E
    No, no!
[10:59] E
    How many times do I have to tell you?
[11:01] E
    Hey, you, where are you going?
[11:03] E
    Tohru! Why would a passerby use
    Miss Kobayashi as reason to refuse her?!
[11:07] T
    Why would I be in a hurry
    if not for Miss Kobayashi?
[11:10] E
    I don't know!
[11:10] E
    Lady Lucoa! The grandmother wouldn't
    try to warm the girl up naked.
[11:15] L
    But it's warmer this way.
[11:17] E
    Sir Fafnir, you're out of the question!
[11:20] E
    A father would never call his
    daughter a "mere human"!
[11:24] F
    Hmph.
[11:24] E
    Why can't you all stick to the script?
[11:27] T
    Speaking of, this story
    doesn't have enough depth.
[11:31] T
    Are you sure we won't bore
    the elderly with this?
[11:35] E
    Now that you mention it, that's true...
[11:37] Fafnir
    Then why don't we try changing it up?
[11:40] E
    What are you suggesting we do?
[11:42] T
    Well...
[11:43] T
    Let's make the story more fun.
[11:46] L
    I agree!
[11:48] T
    Why don't we try mixing in other
    myths too, like the kasajizou?
[11:51] T
    Have it selling hats next to the girl.
[11:53] E
    What a mean man.
[11:55] L
    Why not?
[11:56] Fafnir
    The main character should be a magical girl.
[11:59] Kanna
    Thank you very much!
[11:59] Fafnir
    She can obtain the power to burn
    this corrupt world to ash.
[12:03] E
    Now there's nothing from the original left.
[12:06] L
    Oh, 47 Ronin is popular
    with the elderly, too.
[12:10] Fafnir
    The one about humans and their quest for
    revenge, right? Sounds interesting.
[12:14] Kanna
    Are there any dragons?
[12:15] L
    We might as well have some
    while we're at it, right?
[12:19] E
    Hey, Grandma!
[12:20] E
    Don't make it weirdly sexy.
[12:22] E
    Narrator, stop grinning.
[12:31] T
    Kanna.
[12:33] T
    It sounds like Santa won't be
    coming for a while longer.
[12:36] Kanna
    Does Santa know where we are?
[12:38] Kanna
    Will he really come?
[12:40] T
    Who knows?
[12:43] K
    Ah, I'm beat.

    What's this?!

    Merry Christmas!
[12:51] People
    Take home some cake!
[12:59] K
    Did we make it in time?

    Looks like it.

    It's about to start.

    Now then, we'll be starting the performance

[13:07] Staff
    by the Oborozuka Shopping District.
[13:09] Staff
    Please enjoy the show.
[13:15] Saikawa
    It was an awfully cold night.
[13:18] Saikawa
    The sun had set upon the street corner,
    where a single young girl was selling matches.
[13:25] Kanna
    Matches. Do you need any matches?
[13:28] Saikawa
    Yet no one would buy her matches.
[13:31] Kanna
    I can't sell any.
[13:34] Shouta
    Umm...
[13:35] Shouta
    Y-Young girl, do you need any hats?
[13:38] K
    Huh?
[13:39] Saikawa
    Before her appeared an old man selling hats.
[13:43] Shouta
    My old wife made these.
[13:46] Shouta
    They're very strong hats.
[13:47] Shouta
    W-Would you like one?
[13:49] Kanna
    I don't have any money.
[13:51] Shouta
    Are you all right?
[13:53] Kanna
    I'm cold.
[13:54] Shouta
    That must be hard.
[13:55] Shouta
    Oh. Then burn one of
    these to warm yourself.
[13:58] K
    They're burning it?!
[13:59] Takiya
    Even though his wife made it?!
[14:03] K
    And they're actually setting it on fire!
[14:05] Saikawa
    Then something incredible happened.
[14:08] Saikawa
    From the smoke there
    appeared a suspicious man.
[14:13] Fafnir
    Pathetic human.
[14:14] Kanna
    Who are you? What do you want?
[14:17] Fafnir
    You've been chosen
[14:19] Fafnir
    to become a magical girl with a duty to bear.
[14:22] K
    What's this turn of events?
[14:24] Fafnir
    Take it. The power to correct
    this corrupt world.
[14:28] Kanna
    Yeah, okay!
[14:29] K
    That was quick!
[14:31] Fafnir
    Very good. In that case...
[14:33] Shouta
    W-Wait!
[14:34] Shouta
    Please make me a magical girl, too!
[14:37] Fafnir
    Oh? Why do you wish to be a magical girl?
[14:39] Shouta
    To use a magical girl's power
    to commit vicious deeds
[14:43] Shouta
    and get money to feed my sick wife!
[14:47] Both
    He doesn't think to heal her with magic?
[14:50] Fafnir
    You would voice your desires without shame?
[14:54] Fafnir
    Very well.
[14:55] Fafnir
    You are truly human.
[15:05] Shouta
    This is embarrassing.
[15:07] Fafnir
    Still, it's unfortunate.
[15:08] Fafnir
    I only have one staff that will
    allow you to use your powers.
[15:12] Fafnir
    You two will have to fight,
    and the survivor shall receive it.
[15:15] Fafnir
    Begin!
[15:16] L
    Stop fighting!
[15:19] L
    I'm a magic fairy.
[15:21] L
    Don't let yourself be fooled
    by that suspicious man's offer.
[15:26] L
    I won't allow you to toy
    with the hearts of others.
[15:31] L
    Leave this to me and go!
[15:34] Kanna
    I can't just leave you here.
[15:37] Shouta
    Yeah, yeah!
[15:38] L
    Thank you.
[15:39] L
    My time with both of you was very enjoyable.
[15:43] K
    It was only a few seconds.
[15:49] Kanna
    No way...
[15:51] Shouta
    What do we do now?
[15:53] Kanna
    A magical girl's role is to cleanse
    corruption from this world.
[15:56] Kanna
    Leave it to me.
[16:01] Kanna
    Where are the rotten people?
[16:07] Saikawa
    How incredible.
[16:08] Saikawa
    The spell cast by the young girl struck
    a devastating blow to a nearby mansion.
[16:13] Kanna
    Let's go look there.
[16:17] ---
    One, two, one, two, one, two...
[16:23] E
    Are you the ones who set fire to this place?
[16:26] Shouta
    Wh-Who would do such a thing?
[16:28] Both
    You did.
[16:29] Kanna
    I'm sorry. I didn't mean ill by it.
[16:32] E
    No, you've been a big help.
[16:34] E
    I'm Oishi Kuranosuke.
[16:36] E
    Thanks to this fire I can
    sneak into the Kira mansion.
[16:39] E
    You have my gratitude.
[16:40] Kanna
    What are you doing?
[16:42] E
    I've come to avenge my lord and claim
    the head of Kira Kouzuke no suke!
[16:47] K
    Now it's the 47 Ronin?
[16:54] T
    Avenging your lord? How funny!
[16:56] E
    So you show yourself, Kira!
[16:58] T
    If you'd forfeit your life, then come at me!
[17:01] K
    Hey, hey, seriously?!
[17:03] Kanna
    That's the source of the corruption.
[17:05] Kanna
    The enemy of magical girls!
[17:10] T
    No one can beat me in this form.
[17:15] T
    I'll turn you to dust!
[17:20] K
    They're overdoing it!
[17:21] K
    If they do that, then...!
[17:23] Man
    Amazing.
[17:24] Man
    Is this that CGI thing?
[17:26] Man
    Who you calling a geezer?
[17:27] Man
    I said CGI.
[17:28] E
    Oh well.
[17:29] E
    Then I'll have to get serious, too!
[17:31] T
    What?!
[18:06] Man
    That was incredible.
[18:15] Kanna
    Kobayashi!
[18:18] T
    How was our play?
[18:22] K
    Well...
[18:27] K
    It was good. You worked
    hard all on your own.
[18:31] K
    Nice work.
[18:34] Take
    Well, care to go out for an after party now?
[18:37] E
    Let's!
[18:38] E
    I just received a cake in appreciation, too.
[18:40] L
    Elma, you're just hungry.
[18:43] E
    Th-That's not true!
[18:51] All
    Cheers!
[19:12] K
    Huh? Where's everyone else?
[19:14] T
    They just left to head home.
[19:17] T
    Apparently they're each having
    their own parties at home.
[19:21] K
    And Kanna-chan?
[19:22] T
    She escorted Ms. Saikawa home.
[19:24] K
    Hmm.
[19:26] T
    Would you like a bath?
[19:28] T
    Or would you like to go to bed as is today?
[19:32] K
    Well, since it is Christmas...
[19:44] K
    What a beautiful sight!
[19:46] T
    You're not cold?
[19:48] K
    I'm fine.
[19:49] T
    This is unusual.
[19:51] T
    You asking to see the view at night.
[19:54] K
    Is it?
[19:55] T
    Oh, right.
[19:56] T
    Miss Kobayashi.
[19:59] T
    Here.
[20:00] K
    What? A Christmas present?
[20:02] T
    Yes!
[20:03] T
    I got you some medicine that
    works well for lower back pain.
[20:07] K
    Seriously?
[20:08] K
    That's a big help.
[20:12] T
    It's a valuable item in the other world.
[20:15] T
    You grind it down and
    apply it to your lower back.
[20:18] T
    It works perfectly!
[20:20] K
    Yeah, sure...
[20:24] K
    Hey, I was worried all day today.
[20:27] T
    What's this all of a sudden?
[20:30] K
    To be honest, I was full of
    anxiety as I watched your play,
[20:34] K
    worrying when I should
    jump in to stop you.
[20:38] K
    But everyone enjoyed it.
[20:42] K
    You really did a nice job.
[20:44] T
    Thanks!
[20:47] K
    Oh.
[21:03] T
    It's a White Christmas.
[21:06] K
    Here! A Christmas present from me, too.
[21:09] T
    Huh?
[21:10] T
    What is it?
[21:12] K
    Merry Christmas, Tohru.
[21:16] T
    Miss Kobayashi!
[21:21] K
    Tohru, settle down! I'll fall!
[21:25] T
    But!
[21:53] K
    I can't get close!
