Oh...
This is quite a mess.
Gee, what a dump. Are we really gonna stay here?
Hey, you made this mess.
Oh my, I didn't know you cared. How sweet.
Welcome!
Thanks for coming all the way.
Well, thank you for inviting us back again.
Here you go.
Boys, you get to work repairing the damage.
Girls, you start on cleaning, laundry, and cooking.
Huh?
Can't we rest a little first?
What did you say?
Uh, nothing.
We should probably do what she says.
That's right. Come on. Let's go now.
Excuse me, ma'am. What's my assignment to be?
We haven't met yet, have we?
Nice to meet you.
My name is Washu.
I'm at your service, great respected one.
Oh my, what a polite introduction from someone so young, Washu-chan.
I'm not planning on making any children do any work,
so why don't you run along with Sasami-chan and play?
Yes, ma'am.
That's cheating, Washu!
Ouch!
What the...
Quit wasting my time.
By the way, Nobuyuki,
you told me eight people altogether, but now you've got another guest, huh?
Huh? Eh?
What are you talking about? There are only eight of us.
That's strange.
I could swear I saw a young lady resembling me as a young woman.
There's no one like that with us at all.
I guess she's getting senile.
Watch out.
Get to work already!
Yes, ma'am.
Shall we go?
Um, Onee-sama.
Never mind.
All right.
Come on, Sasami-chan.
Okay.
Episode 9
Sasami and Tsunami
These flowers are called yarrow.
They're grown for their decorative and medicinal values.
I wonder what they cure.
Sasami-chan.
Come over here.
Come on. It's a wonderful view.
Sasami-chan... Huh?
Where did she go?
Oh well, Ryo-Ohki is with her.
I'm sure she'll be fine.
This must be...
what she had in mind...
when she called and invited us over.
I was so stupid.
Let's just say naive.
You were excited about coming here, too.
Did you say something?
Ah, no, nothing.
I told you to be careful.
What are you doing?
Tenchi, look!
What are you doing?
With the way you're peeling them, we won't have anything left to eat.
And if you keep peeling them so slowly, you're never gonna finish.
Hmph. At least I have a talent for not wasting food.
What are you saying?
The truth.
Settle down, both of you.
Let's not argue over nothing.
Okay?
That wasn't me!
It wasn't me, I tell you.
I really didn't do anything at all.
Sasami.
Onee-sama.
Did you see someone else here just now?
No, I didn't.
How strange.
Um, Onee-sa-
So what was it?
Nothing.
Sorry, Sasami. You were saying?
Uh, nothing really.
Please hold it tight, Grandpa.
I know. Hurry up.
T-That white figure is...
Shh.
I'm telling you what we saw.
We saw a vague, ghost-like figure.
You guys are just trying to scare me, right?
No, we actually saw it.
Really?
Yeah!
Come to think of it, Dad and Grandpa said they saw a white figure or someth-
No! What do I do?
I'm not good with such things.
What's that? Are you scared, Tenchi?
No way!
G-Grandpa!
Listen... it begins over 600 years ago.
When I was a young man, the person who lived here told it to me.
There was a house on a mountain, far away from civilization. In it lived a couple.
People respected and admired their good relationship.
However, the wife had been sickly since childhood...
and had become bedridden for quite awhile.
It is said that she probably knew her time was running short.
They did their best trying to care for each other,
live their lives to the fullest and to treasure their remaining time together.
And one day, it was a very windy night.
They heard a voice through the howling wind.
It wasn't their imagination.
The voice was real. They were compelled to listen.
"Head to the west."
"Go over three mountains."
"You'll find an herb that can cure any kind of sickness."
Thus the wind spoke...
and fell silent.
The husband believed the wind's words...
and decided to go search for the herb.
She begged him to remain and not leave her alone,
but he left and set out for the west.
For six months she waited for his return, fighting against death with all her strength.
And she made a wish,
"If only I weren't sick, if only I could walk...
then I would be able to look for him."
But... alas, her hopes were in vain,
she passed away the very next day.
After that day,
around this place,
people began to see the white ghost of a woman.
You'd better watch out, Tenchi.
Her spirit wanders aimlessly, searching for her beloved.
She may even come for you!
How long are you going to play around?!
Get back to work!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Kids today.
Hey, that goes for you, too.
B-But... The white ghost...
The white ghost?
That old horror story again?
H-Horror? Then you made it all up?
Yup. Not mad, are you?
Cut it out!
Ouch!
Go fix the lights or something.
Gee, those old guys...
Why am I the one who has to fix this?
Dad and Grandpa are always goofing off!
Huh? Wait a second.
He may have made up the story, but we all saw the white ghost...
Isn't it times like this that they usually appear?
Wh-What, trying to scare me?
Tenchi-sama!
Ten...
chi!
Huh? Where did he go?
It appeared?
Yep.
I'm scared!
So where did it appear, Tenchi-dono?
Erm...
My imagination?
Sasami!
Sa... Sasami-chan?
Not so tight!
Oh... Sasami-chan, it's only you.
I can't breathe!
My... that was really so scary.
I thought it was...
Look! Sasami-chan's reflection is...
Tsunami?
Sasami, you are...
Wait! Sasami!
Sasami!
Sasami-chan!
Sasami!
She's not in this area.
She's not inside the inn either.
Washu-sama...
Nothing.
My instruments can't seem to find a trace of her.
No way.
I can't communicate with Ryo-Ohki either.
We'll just have to spread out and search for her ourselves.
I'll go this way then.
All right.
Let's see...
I should go too, right?
You go that way!
Sasami!
Sasami...
That reflection was of Tsunami.
Sasami, what's happening to you?
Ouch...
Shh!
Washu-chan...
Let's leave them alone.
Okay.
I am sorry, Onee-sama. I am...
...not the real Sasami!
What do you mean, Sasami?
What?
Sasami-chan...
700 years ago...
Yes.
lt all happened 700 years ago.
The day when the space pirate Ryoko attacked planet Jurai.
Intruder in block 194.
Sasami-sama!
A-1 formation, D-4 mode 12.
Where are you, Sasami-sama?
Sasami-sama!
Where could she have gone?
Could she be...
How do you do?
Sasami-sama!
Mama!
Sasami-sama!
Is my little princess all right?
Yep.
Oh, good!
I've tried... to tell you many times.
The real Sasami died that day.
Therefore...
I am...
I am not your real sister!
Onee-chama!
Onee-chama, please wait.
Onee-chama, wait for me!
Onee-chama...
Onee-chama!
Onee-chama, wait for me!
Onee-cha...
Sasami!
Are you okay?
It's all right, Sasami.
Onee-chama.
I'm sorry, Sasami.
Sasami, you don't like me anymore.
You're telling me this story to drive me away.
Onee-sama...
No, you're wrong.
I love you so much.
Really?
Really, I do.
I really do!
I love you too, Sasami.
We love each other. That's what counts.
Tenchi-sama!
Um... uh... I...
I feel the same way.
'Cause we like you just the way you are.
Right. Whatever happens, you are my dear sister.
Onee-sama.
Tenchi-niichan!
Stupid Sasami.
Sasami-chan is a girl, after all.
All right then...
Looks like she's fallen asleep.
Yes. I guess she was afraid...
that after we found out about her secret,
we would leave her.
She told me that the real Sasami died, though.
Princess Ayeka.
Sasami didn't really die that day.
She thinks of herself as my creation,
but she actually survived by assimilating with me.
Why didn't you tell her about it?
Even if I had told her,
she wouldn't have believed it.
Besides, Sasami didn't need to know...
the truth about her identity,
but only your feelings for her.
Princess Ayeka, she truly is your real sister.
Wow!
Beautiful.
Oh, this is where you are.
Wow! Wow!
Beautiful!
Ahh, wonderful cherry blossoms!
Way to go, Ryo-Ohki!
Great!
You are number one!
Way to go, Ryo-Ohki!
What's up, Tenchi?
Here, have a little sake.
I'm still a minor.
We allow it!
We got permission,
so let's liven things up.
Hmm?
Someone feeling kinda blue around here?
You know, I didn't know that Jurai had trees that could take on human form.
You don't understand anything.
About what?
Tsunami and Sasami are the same.
Get it?
So what?
They are assimilated.
That means that Sasami and Tsunami are the same person,
which means that when Sasami grows up...
She'll be Tsunami?
Hmph. It can't be.
No, that's right.
We have separate minds right now,
but when we are joined in one form,
you can call me Sasami or Tsunami, whichever one you prefer.
What?
You needn't worry.
When we are united,
she will have a complete memory.
That's not why we're worried!
So Sasami will look like you.
Yes, I am the image of Sasami in the future.
Damn! I was careless!
Since Ayeka's no competition,
I thought Sasami was nothing to worry about.
Sasami's beauty will surpass mine.
Well, she's a lot prettier than you are.
And at least she's better-looking than you.
What did you say?
I'm simply stating a fact.
Ahem.
Shut up!
You stay out of this!
You were never as pretty as me.
What? You just try and name one advantage you have over me.
Everything!
Well, well...
Don't argue like that.
Oh.
Are you two okay?
Of course we aren't!
What do you think, you simpleton?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
You come here now, too!
Eh? W-Wh-aah!
