    You mustn't look at me.

SIGN    Episode 6 Fleeting Times
[01:59] Himari
    Morning... Huh?!
[02:01] Ayakashi A
    Nue-sama! Please help us!
[02:03] Ayakashi B
    We beg you! Use your great powers!
[02:06] Himari
    Is there some kind of trouble, Aoi?
[02:08] Aoi
    Yes. The spring they use as a
    watering hole has been tainted.
[02:15] Himari
    You mean like someone trashed it?
[02:18] Ise
    Don't be stupid.
[02:19] Ise
    We're not talking the human world.
[02:21] Aoi
    Springs in the spiritual realm are holy,
     sourced by Ryujin-sama.
[02:26] Aoi
    He protects the springs so they never dry,
    and their water stays pure for eternity.
[02:32] Aoi
    So it should be impossible
    for one to go bad in the first place.
[02:36] Aoi
    They only way this could be is if...
[02:38] Himari
    Something's happened to Ryujin-sama?
[02:42] Aoi
    Yeah.
[02:46] Yukari
    No luck, I'm afraid.
[02:50] Yukari
    I can't sense his presence,
    let alone hear his voice.
[02:56] Yukari
    My apologies...
[02:58] Himari
    Yukari-san, you can talk to Ryujin-sama?
[03:01] Yukari
    I should be able to, yes.
[03:04] Yukari
    I am his kin, after all.
[03:08] Aoi
    Yukari is my shikigami, but...
[03:11] Yukari
    I only became a Mizuchi as a result
    of Ryujin-sama's powers.
[03:15] Yukari
    Before I was an ayakashi, I was human.
[03:19] Himari
    You used to be human?!
[03:22] Yukari
    Yes, I was a human sacrifice
     made to Ryujin-sama.
[03:27] Himari
    A sacrifice...?
[03:30] Yukari
    To speak with Ryujin-sama,
    one must either be his kin or a sacrifice.
[03:37] Yukari
    In my case, I fulfill both requirements.
[03:41] Yukari
    So to not detect this disruption...
    It's shameful.
[03:49] Aoi
    We'll just have to go see for ourselves.
[03:52] Aoi
    Yukari, can you take us?
[03:56] Himari
    Where are we?
[03:58] Aoi
    A spring on the border of
    the human world and spiritual realm.
[04:01] Yukari
    It is also where Ryujin-sama sent me to live
    when I became an ayakashi long ago.
[04:10] Himari
    It's so beautiful.
[04:12] Yukari
    No one approaches this spring,
[04:14] Yukari
    whether ayakashi or human.
[04:19] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama protects seven springs,
    including this one, to keep their water pure.
[04:25] Yukari
    And yet, he doesn't seem to be here.
[04:28] Himari
    You don't know where he is?
[04:31] Yukari
    No. To be honest, I haven't been able
    to see Ryujin-sama for quite a long time.
[04:39] Yukari
    Or hear his voice, for that matter.
[04:44] Himari
    Yukari-san?!
[04:45] Yukari
    I'm fine... But something is wrong here.
[04:50] Himari
    What is that?
[04:52] Aoi
    Tainted water!
[04:54] Aoi
    It's a poison that rots away
    the flesh of ayakashi!
[04:57] Ise
    Get back!
[05:00] Himari
    The spring... It was so pure a second ago.
[05:04] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama's spring? Impossible...
[05:08] All
    Yukari!
[05:08] Himari
    Yukari-san!
[05:14] Ise
    This ain't good.
[05:16] Aoi
    His spiritual powers are dimming.
[05:19] Aoi
    Something really must have
    happened to Ryujin-sama.
[05:22] Himari
    What does this mean for Yukari-san?
[05:24] Ise
    At worst, he'll disappear.
[05:26] Himari
    That can't be!
[05:29] Himari
    If only there was a way
    to call forth Ryujin-sama...
[05:34] Yukari
    To speak with Ryujin-sama,
    one must either be his kin or a sacrifice.
[05:43] Himari
    What if I became a sacrifice?
[05:46] Aoi
    No!
[05:47] Ise
    That's going too far.
[05:48] Himari
    But at this rate...
[05:51] Yukari
    Listen to Aoi.
[05:54] Himari
    Yukari-san!
[05:55] Yukari
    The sacrificial ritual for Ryujin-sama
    means offering him your soul.
[06:00] Yukari
    It is not something to be taken lightly.
[06:03] Himari
    But...
[06:03] Yukari
    Himari, you are an important
    member of the Momochi family.
[06:08] Yukari
    Please, you mustn't endanger yourself.
[06:12] Himari
    Yukari-san!
[06:14] Aoi
    We'll find another way to call Ryujin-sama.
[06:17] Aoi
    So don't think about
    doing anything reckless.
[06:31] Aoi
    This spell's no good either.
[06:34] Aoi
    We have to hurry before Yukari...
[06:36] Himari
    Aoi.
[06:38] Aoi
    Himari?
[06:40] Himari
    See, I'm the one who should...
[06:42] Aoi
    I told you no!
[06:45] Aoi
    Sorry, I'm lashing out at you...
    I'm the worst.
[06:49] Himari
    That's not true.
[06:52] Himari
    I know how worried you are about Yukari-san.
[06:57] Aoi
    Himari...
[07:00] Aoi
    Yukari was my first shikigami, and the
    first ayakashi I met at Momochi House.
[07:07] Aoi
    He was the one who lent me a
    hand when I wandered in.
[07:13] Aoi
    I was afraid and didn't know what to do.
[07:17] Aoi
    Yukari shares my sadness when I get hurt.
[07:23] Aoi
    He scolds me when I've done wrong.
[07:26] Aoi
    He's... the best shikigami I could ask for.
[07:31] Himari
    Yukari-san is more than a shikigami to you.
[07:35] Himari
    He's an important part of your family.
[07:37] Himari
    I think I understand how you feel,
     at least a little bit.
[07:41] Himari
    We haven't spent nearly
     as long together, but...
[07:44] Himari
    Yukari-san is like family to me, too.
[07:47] Himari
    That's why...
[07:49] Aoi
    No!
[07:50] Aoi
    Ryujin-sama is far greater and far more
     distant than your average ayakashi.
[07:56] Aoi
    As his name implies, he's a god.
[07:58] Aoi
    Our reasons and words
    won't mean anything to him.
[08:02] Himari
    Yukari-san said the same thing.
[08:04] Himari
    That he doesn't understand Ryujin-sama.
[08:07] Himari
    But Yukari-san lived here
    all alone, didn't he?
[08:13] Himari
    It's so beautiful and pure,
    yet I can't help seeing it as lonely.
[08:21] Himari
    I want to believe in Ryujin-sama,
[08:23] Himari
    who sent Yukari-san to Momochi House
     after living here all by himself.
[08:28] Himari
    I want to try talking to him.
[08:32] Himari
    Please understand, Aoi...
[08:36] Aoi
    I'm sorry. I couldn't find another...
[08:38] Himari
    Don't apologize.
[08:40] Himari
    If it means saving Yukari-san,
    I'm happy to sacrifice myself.
[08:45] Aoi
    I understand how you feel, Himari.
[08:47] Aoi
    I really do, but...
[08:52] Aoi
    I don't want to put you in danger.
[08:55] Aoi
    Please try to understand me, too.
[08:59] Aoi
    Listen, Himari.
[09:01] Aoi
    If you're in danger, even for a moment...
[09:04] Aoi
    I don't care that it's Ryujin-sama.
[09:06] Aoi
    I'll purge him and put him to rest.
[09:08] Himari
    Aoi...
[09:10] Aoi
    So please, don't be reckless.
[09:12] Aoi
    No matter what. Promise me?
[09:17] Himari
    I promise. Thanks, Aoi.
[09:23] Himari
    Let's save Yukari-san
    and go home together.
[09:26] Aoi
    Yeah.
[09:35] Ise
    We can't get near the spring 'cause
    of the tainted water, but...
[09:40] Nue
    Himari, remember what we agreed.
[09:43] Himari
    Right. I promise not to be reckless.
[09:47] Himari
    So I'm leaving Ryujin-sama to you guys.
[09:51] Himari
    Yukari-san... Hang on a bit longer.
[09:55] Nue
    Now then, let us begin.
[10:00] Nue
    Almighty god of water,
[10:03] Nue
    protector of the seven springs between
    the human world and spiritual realm...
[10:08] Nue
    This holy water flows from your blessed veins.
[10:10] Nue
    Come forth, Ryujin! We offer a sacrifice.
[10:14] Himari
    Please, Ryujin-sama.
[10:17] Himari
    Let me hear your voice.
[10:22] Ise
    Did it work?!
[10:30] Himari
    I-Is that really Ryujin-sama?
[10:33] Ise
    Has the tainted water cursed him?!
[10:37] Nue
    No, it is not the water cursing Ryujin.
[10:42] Nue
    Ryujin himself is the problem.
[10:45] Nue
    Look there!
[10:48] Himari
    Is the tainted water coming
    from Ryujin-sama?
[10:53] Himari
    Please, Ryujin-sama! Listen to us!
[11:02] Nue
    We've no choice. He must be cleansed.
[11:04] Himari
    Ryujin-sama...
[11:05] Nue
    Retreat, Himari!
[11:07] Himari
    Ryujin-sama! Please let me speak to you!
[11:10] Nue
    Himari!
[11:16] Nue/Ise
    Himari!
[11:18] Nue
    Stand down, Ise!
[11:19] Ise
    But—
[11:20] Nue
    I shall go from here.
[11:22] Ise
    Even you can't cleanse Ryujin without...
[11:25] Nue
    So be it. I'll accept
    whatever curse may befall me.
[11:28] Nue
    I won't let him have Himari.
[11:30] Ise
    Nue-sama!
[11:31] Yukari
    Please wait.
[11:37] Ise
    Yukari...
[11:38] Yukari
    Nue-sama, please release me from my contract.
[11:45] Yukari
    That way, I can calm
    Ryujin-sama and save Himari.
[11:52] Nue
    Do you believe you can face Ryujin's
    dark rage in your current state?
[11:57] Yukari
    Either way, I must!
[12:01] Yukari
    I truly want to understand
     Ryujin-sama's heart!
[12:09] Nue
    Return to me no matter what.
[12:13] Yukari
    I will.
[12:15] Nue
    By the order of the Omamori,
    Yukari Mizuchi, kin of water...
[12:22] Nue
    Release your true powers and go forth!
[12:32] Ise
    So this is Yukari's true form.
[12:46] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama...
[12:50] Yukari
    Himari!
[12:54] Yukari
    Himari! Are you all right? Himari!
[13:03] Yukari
    No!
[13:12] Himari
    What is this?
[13:29] Himari
    These visions...
[13:30] Yukari
    So you saw them as well?
[13:34] Yukari
    Those were fragments
    of my memories from long ago.
[13:39] Yukari
    It seems our minds synced together,
[13:43] Yukari
    and my memories flooded into yours.
[13:48] Yukari
    Memories of my time as a human,
    before I became an ayakashi.
[13:52] Yukari
    I'm sorry you saw something so unpleasant.
[13:55] Himari
    No, I'm sorry.
[13:57] Himari
    I was basically peeking into your past.
[14:02] Yukari
    Please, you mustn't fret.
[14:05] Yukari
    They're merely fleeting reflections
     of a time long gone by.
[14:11] Yukari
    When I was young,
    I didn't understand people's hearts.
[14:16] Yukari
    I was raised to assassinate the emperor
     when the right time came.
[14:20] Yukari
    The emperor was ultimately
    murdered by someone else,
[14:25] Yukari
    and his killers came after my life as well.
[14:31] Yukari
    Somehow, I was able to defeat
    them all in mortal combat.
[14:36] Yukari
    I was vilified as a man-eating killer for it.
[14:43] Yukari
    Later, I was forced to pay for the crime
    of the emperor's murder,
[14:48] Yukari
    and so I was sacrificed
    to Ryujin-sama as punishment.
[14:53] Yukari
    I feel no anger, sadness,
    or regret over my past.
[14:59] Yukari
    It was my fate, and I've accepted it as such.
[15:07] Yukari
    But perhaps now, I wish I had shed tears
    as you do upon the emperor's passing.
[15:16] Yukari
    When I was sacrificed,
     all I could do was wait for death.
[15:21] Yukari
    But Ryujin-sama spared me for some reason.
[15:24] Yukari
    He brought me back to life
    as his own kin, as a Mizuchi.
[15:29] Yukari
    After that, I spent a long time
    at this spring I was given...
[15:35] Yukari
    But one day, Ryujin-sama said unto me,
[15:41] Yukari
    "Go to Momochi House and never return."
[15:46] Yukari
    I listened to his orders,
    met Aoi, and became a shikigami.
[15:52] Yukari
    Since then, no matter how much I call to him,
     I haven't been able to see Ryujin-sama.
[16:00] Yukari
    I'm a fool who fell short as a human,
    and cannot fully embrace being an ayakashi.
[16:06] Yukari
    Still, I wonder why Ryujin-sama ordered
    me to go to Momochi House...
[16:12] Himari
    Could it be because you seemed lonely?
[16:18] Yukari
    Me? Lonely?
[16:21] Himari
    It must be incredibly sad
    to live all alone forever,
[16:24] Himari
    so I think Ryujin-sama sent you to
    Momochi House where you could meet others.
[16:30] Yukari
    I couldn't understand it back then.
[16:34] Yukari
    But after meeting Aoi, Ise, and everyone,
[16:38] Yukari
    and living with you in that house, Himari...
[16:44] Yukari
    I see... I was always lonely.
[16:49] Himari
    I don't think you a fool at all.
[16:54] Himari
    I know that you're a kind person
    with both a human and ayakashi heart.
[17:00] Himari
    I think Ryujin-sama feels the same.
[17:03] Yukari
    Himari...
[17:05] Himari
    So I bet there's a reason
    he hasn't tried to see you.
[17:12] Himari
    Let's turn him back to his true self!
[17:14] Himari
    Then we can ask him directly!
[17:19] Yukari
    Let's.
[17:27] Himari
    Ryujin-sama!
[17:37] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama, please! Please calm yourself!
[17:40] Ryujin
    It's dark... and cold...
[17:45] Himari
    That voice!
[17:46] Ryujin
    I'm lonely... So lonely...
[17:50] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama?
[17:54] Himari
    Could that be it?!
[17:58] Himari
    Gotcha!
[18:15] Ryujin
    Yukari.
[18:16] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama!
[18:18] Yukari
    You've returned to us!
[18:20] Himari
    We did it!
[18:22] Ryujin
    Yukari and you, human child...
[18:25] Ryujin
    I have caused great trouble for you.
[18:28] Ryujin
    No words can express my gratitude.
[18:29] Yukari
    Hardly!
[18:30] Yukari
    The fault is mine for not noticing.
[18:35] Ryujin
    That was inevitable.
[18:37] Ryujin
    I had blocked off our connection.
[18:41] Yukari
    Was I... of no use to you?
[18:46] Ryujin
    Nay.
[18:47] Ryujin
    Yukari, I wished for you to find peace.
[18:51] Yukari
    Peace?
[18:52] Ryujin
    I knew Momochi House could
    free you of your loneliness.
[18:58] Ryujin
    To keep your kindred heart from swaying,
[19:02] Ryujin
    I hid myself, closed off my heart,
    and blocked our connection.
[19:08] Yukari
    I still feel so powerless.
[19:10] Yukari
    How could I not notice
    how deeply you cared for me?
[19:14] Ryujin
    Dear Yukari, I have found my answer.
[19:18] Ryujin
    Neither ayakashi nor humans
    should lose sight of their hearts.
[19:23] Ryujin
    I threw myself into protecting
    the waters so I could let you go,
[19:27] Ryujin
    but alas, that was a mistake.
[19:29] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama...
[19:31] Ryujin
    I was consumed by loneliness and failed to
    notice this curse cast by a lawless being.
[19:35] Ryujin
    I'm ashamed to have behaved so foolishly.
[19:39] Yukari
    Someone dared to endanger
    the great Ryujin-sama?
[19:43] Himari
    A curse from a lawless being? That seal!
[19:48] Ryujin
    But we've opened our hearts to each other,
    and I am now myself again.
[20:00] Himari
    The tainted water!
[20:02] Ryujin
    Now, Yukari...
[20:03] Ryujin
    You must give your heart to serve
    your new master at Momochi House.
[20:09] Ryujin
    I shall return alone to protect the waters.
[20:13] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama...
[20:14] Himari
    Ryujin-sama! Water may flow,
    but it can also be gathered!
[20:18] Yukari
    Himari?
[20:20] Himari
    We always keep water near,
[20:23] Himari
    so I believe it will always connect us!
[20:27] Yukari
    Yes, you're right.
[20:30] Yukari
    Ryujin-sama, please let us know
    when you're at this spring.
[20:37] Yukari
    We will come to visit you.
[20:40] Yukari
    So one day...
[20:43] Ryujin
    Yes! Indeed, we shall meet again!
[20:57] Ise
    The tainted water!
[21:01] Ise
    Himari! Yukari!
[21:08] Ise
    Jeez, you two. I was about to get worried.
[21:10] Himari
    Sorry!
[21:11] Yukari
    My apologies.
[21:13] Ise
    What happened to Ryujin?
[21:15] Yukari
    Thanks to Himari, we were able to calm him.
[21:21] Yukari
    Nue-sama, as promised, I've returned.
[21:24] Yukari
    I, Yukari of Mizuchi...
[21:27] Yukari
    am here to serve only you.
[21:30] Yukari
    My apologies for worrying you. I...
[21:34] Nue
    I was not worried.
[21:38] Nue
    You are my best shikigami.
[21:42] Yukari
    Nue-sama...
[21:44] Nue
    However... Himari!
[21:46] Nue
    That's not the case for you.
[21:48] Himari
    Wh-What?
[21:50] Nue
    I told you not to put
    yourself in harm's way.
[21:53] Himari
    W-Well, that was...
[21:55] Nue
    No excuses.
[21:59] Nue
    I shall punish you later.
[22:03] Nue
    Let us return home.
[22:04] All
    Yes!
[23:47] Aoi
    Himari, stay by my side.
[23:51] Aoi
    Don't go anywhere. Please...
