Episode 07 「As Pitiless as the Storm」
My daughter's here, yes.
Actually, one of her classmates didn't come home,
after they closed the school.
And her twin sister hasn't been seen since yesterday.
We're worried something might have happened.
If your daughter is safe, that's good.
But tell her not to walk around alone for a while.
Thank you for the warning.
Nono-san...
Nene-san.
I couldn't save them...
From the Elder Bairns.
Saya.
Father...
Am I not good enough to do this?
I promised...
That I would protect everyone, but...
Whom did you promise?
Saya?
Whom did I promise that I would protect everyone?
Saya...
My mother was a shrine priestess here, too,
receiving the instructions to fight the Elder Bairns from the Gods.
That's why I...
I promised.
Saya?
Saya!
Father...
It must have been truly painful, being unable to save you friend.
But you are the only shrine maiden we can send to fight the Elder Bairns.
Saya.
I'm the only one...
That's right.
You're the only one.
Saya, what will you do to the Elder Bairns?
I'll defeat them.
I promised!
That's right.
You promised.
We needed this promise for what we decided to do.
And we required other preparations for the experiment, as well.
The experiment was designed to prove which of us was right.
But it will take more than just the two of us to carry it out.
Well then, let's get things ready...
Saya.
You can't sleep?
So that voice I heard yesterday...
I didn't imagine it.
You're pretty calm.
No, I am surprised,
that some Elder Bairns can speak.
If I'm an Elder Bairn, shouldn't you be trying to defeat me?
That's right.
But I don't feel any evil from you.
Evil isn't something that always seeps out.
It's possible to hide it, if you're careful and skilled!
Are you talking about the Elder Bairns?
And other things, as well.
You're not one of the Elder Bairns, are you?
Why do you think that?
I don't know.
I do feel a strong power, but it's different.
I see.
Why did you come to me?
To make a wish come true.
A wish?
Long ago, someone came to my shop to have their wish granted.
Shop?
Yes, my shop.
What kind of shop is it?
A shop that grants wishes.
Are you the guard dog there?
I own it.
Are the customers all dogs?
Well, sometimes.
I get all kinds of customers.
So, you run a shop that grants wishes,
and someone once came to you and made a wish.
And that's why you've come to me?
This time, you're right.
Whose wish was it?
I can't tell you.
What was the wish?
I can't tell you that, either. At least, for now.
Um, are you sure you have the right person?
I've always lived in this town, and I've never left it.
And I don't know anyone who's been to that shop.
Really?
Is that what you really think?
Back there...
I heard it, your voice.
When I said, "I promised that I would protect everyone."
Whom did you promise?
I promised! I know I did...
That I would defeat the Elder Bairns and save everyone.
But...
You can't remember to whom you made that promise, can you?
To make a wish come true, you have to pay a price.
And the more dear the wish, the greater the price.
So there are limits to what I can do.
One of those limits is that I must appear in this form.
Saya.
I promised I would grant that wish.
I promised.
Until I do, I'll stay beside you.
So...
A dream?
It wasn't a dream...
I'll be back!
It's still early.
I feel like I need to go somewhere.
You're thinking that,
even as you stand here, Elder Bairns may appear somewhere?
Yes.
Father?
Take it.
No... From now on, keep it with you at all times.
Saya-chan?
Good morning.
Morning.
But...
Don't force yourself to smile when you're not feeling well.
Thank you...
I heard you went to sleep without eating dinner last night.
How?
Tadayoshi-san told me.
I'll make some risotto.
You can eat that.
Guimauve...
You told me once, didn't you...
That when you touch it, guimauve feels like something specific?
I did!
What does it feel like?
Do you understand now?
Lips?
Is that it?
Somewhere close.
Now then, you'll want more than risotto.
An egg and some warm salad...
And...
Coffee, right?
Here.
Thank you.
You look a little better.
Your food was really good.
And the coffee, too!
Good.
Oh, right...
A lunch and some more guimauve.
It'll make a good snack.
Thank you!
There's still time, so I thought I would wander around town a bit.
There's no school today.
Teacher?
Didn't you hear?
No, I left very early.
I see...
It might be closed for quite a while.
They haven't found anyone.
But it might be even worse if they did.
Teacher?
Remember what I said earlier?
Y-Yes.
I talked about beings that eat people.
Motoe Nono and Nene may have been eaten by those things.
It may be the same thing with everyone else who disappeared!
Don't you think so?
What's wrong?
Does your head hurt again?
No... I'm fine.
All right.
Then go home.
Back to your dad.
Why did Tsutsutori-sensei start talking about that, all of a sudden?
Does she know something about the Elder Bairns?
Miss!
Are you going to school?
Yes.
School's closed today.
I'm sorry.
I left before they called.
I see.
Then you should get back home.
It's still early, but who knows what could ha-
Here I come!
Pathetic.
She's this weakened?
What?
"Pathetic" would apply to the loser, as well.
Back then, you would have been fine.
But defeat at your hands now,
even if I should survive, would be an embarrassment.
I've never fought you.
Why?
Weak.
Too weak.
Did you fight my mother?
She wielded this sacred blade.
Compared to my mother, I may be weak.
But...
I will defeat the Elder Bairns!
What's so funny?
Is that what your father,
Tadayoshi, told you?
At that shrine?
I bet he had a serious look on his face when he told you it's a "sacred blade."
That's hilarious!
Don't laugh.
How could I not?
Tadayoshi told you to defeat us?
You and Tadayoshi are such fools.
No, I suppose you're even dumber than that!
Shut up!
My father is no fool.
He's strong and kind...
And he's always supported me, ever since my mother's death.
What are you talking about?
I asked what you're talking about!
What?
You're lying in order to confuse me.
Humans are the ones who lie.
Humans continue to violate the covenant with their lies and nonsense!
It's time for you to die.
You're going to disappear now.
And then I'll kill Tadayoshi, too.
My father!
That's right.
You should be happy, getting to die with your beloved father.
Father...
I won't let you near him!
Now I can feel it...
The old you.
Ask...
Tadayoshi...
About who you really are.
Saya?
Tokizane-san?
Whom did you promise that you would defeat the Elder Bairns?
Who was it, who wanted me...
to grant their wish?
oboroyo ni nagare ochiru kuchi susabu koe wa
朧夜に流れ落ちる口遊ぶ声は
The sound of someone singing came flowing from the mist.
kuukoku wo kagoyaka ni yurara mai odoru
空谷をかごやかにゆらら舞い踊る
And danced serenely through the deserted valley.
te wo nobaseba kieyuku tsukanoma no yume ni
手を伸ばせば消えゆく束の間の夢に
Over a transient dream that will vanish when I reach out my hand,
mienai ai wo kazashite hitori hohoemu no

I hold aloft an invisible love, and smile alone.

I trace the evanescent moonlight with the soft tip of my finger.

無弦の琴-調べ- 迷宮-楽園-に誘う
An endless tune of a stringless koto allures me to a labyrinthine paradise.

歌う程に美しく絡み合う永却の記憶
The more we sing, the more beautiful our intertwining, everlasting memories will be.
omoi no tsuyu wa anata wo motomete
思いの露は貴方を求めて
The dewdrops of my thoughts, while seeking after you,
kareru koto naku kono sora wo someage
枯れることなく この暗海を染め上げ
unfading, it stains the deep, dark sky.
kagayaki tsuzukeru deshou
輝き続けるでしょう
and will continue sparkling.
What is that?
If you get involved, you'll be in danger.
Then I want to know even more.
Why?
You're special to me...
Saya.
