Dream...
A dream has an end...
...no matter how pleasant the dream is... or how scary it is.
The dream ends when Mother shakes you awake from outside the warm blankets.
A scene in the morning that never changes...
But now...
I wonder when dreams started to never end.
arigatou iwanaiyo
ありがとう 言わないよ
I won't say thank you.
zutto shimatte oku
ずっとしまっておく
I'll keep it to myself forever.
sayonara wa kagerinai
さよならは 翳りない
Words of farewell will drop
yume no ato shizuka ni oritatsu
夢のあと静かに降り立つ
silently after a crystal clear dream.
ryouteni wa furisosogu kakera wo
両手には 降り注ぐ かけらを
Holding flakes falling from the sky in both hands
itsumademo itsumademo daite
いつまでも いつまでも抱いて
I embrace them forever and ever.
saigo made waratteru tsuyosa wo
最後まで 笑ってる強さを
She already knows the strength it takes
mou shitteita
もう知っていた
to smile until the end.
Stop crying already.
What happened to you?
Say something, Ayu Ayu.
Uguu~ I'm not Ayu Ayu.
See, you can speak.
Staring at me like that won't get us anywhere.
Could it be I look like your long-lost brother?
I'm going to head back now.
You're hungry?
You are hungry.
Y-Yeah...
All right, I'll get you something.
Do you have anything you want to eat?
Don't you have any favourite foods?
Taiyaki.
Taiyaki? Got it.
Wait here a bit.
I will.
Episode 4
Caprice in the Holidays
Looks like you were able to stay put.
Because you told me to wait.
Good girl.
Here. Let's eat it together.
It's warm.
Taiyaki is the best when it's just made.
It's really good. Eat up.
It's salty.
That's the taste of your tears from before.
But it's good.
Isn't it?
Yep.
So I really panicked, too.
So why were you crying?
Ahh, never mind. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask you today.
I'm going to head back now.
See ya, Ayu Ayu.
What's wrong?
I'm not Ayu Ayu.
Yeah... that's right.
I'm going now.
I can't walk like this.
Taiyaki.
I want to eat taiyaki again.
You liked it that much?
Yep.
Want to eat some together again?
Yep!
Then tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at the benches by the station, same time as today.
You're not lying to me?
No, I'm not.
I'll definitely be there.
Promise?
Yeah, it's a promise.
Pinky promise.
We don't have to do a pinky promise; I'll be there.
Uguu~ Pinky promise...
There.
It's a promise.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Yep.
Um...
Bye bye.
Yeah, bye bye.
Liar.
3...
2...
1...
ZERO!!!
Ouchie...
Auu~ That surprised me...
What are you doing?
"What"? Well...
I bet you came to take revenge on me and failed again.
Th-That's not true.
Then what? Is that konnyaku your midnight snack?
Th-This?
Y-Yes.
Then eat it.
N-Now?
You were planning on eating it, right?
Auu~
Is it good?
I don't taste anything.
What's wrong? Chow down.
What?
I'm already full.
If you waste food, divine retribution will fall upon you.
Auu~
What's going on?
M-Makoto is eating konnyaku...
...as her midnight snack.
Konnyaku?
You were that hungry?
Auu~
Come with me.
I'll cook something up for you.
But I'm not hungry...
Aren't you lucky, Makoto.
Auu~
Seriously.
Way to disturb my peaceful sleep.
I've got to take care of these today.
Good morning, Makoto.
Auu~
Is "Auu~" your morning greeting?
My heartburn isn't going away.
That's what you get for begging for food in the middle of the night.
I never begged for it!
It was your face that I was trying to-
What were you up to with my face?
Auu~
Just you watch!
I'll be out for a while.
Are you going to buy groceries?
Yes. And Nayuki forgot her bento, so I thought I'd take it to her.
She's practising with her track team today, too.
In that case, I'll go.
Captain of the track team, eh?
I wonder what she looks like when she's at it.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
Nayuki!
Yuuichi!
You came to deliver it for me?
Thank you.
This is an amazing facility.
This school has a strong focus on clubs.
Looks like you're working hard.
A tournament is coming up.
I've got to go.
Mind if I stay and watch for a while?
Sure. If it's from a corner, you'll be OK.
Thank you, Yuuichi.
Kaori.
Aizawa-kun.
Time for your club meeting?
Yeah.
It's the weekend, and both you and Nayuki are working hard.
Nayuki is.
As for me, I don't want to be at home.
Are you fighting with your parents or something?
Something like that.
Aizawa-kun, are you used to school now?
Considering I've only been here for a short while, it's not too bad.
It was nice you had people you knew in the same class.
You mean Nayuki?
You can't trouble Nayuki too much, got it?
You're fitting in to the class thanks to her.
You should be very grateful to her.
True.
Nayuki may look absent-minded, but she can overexert herself, so watch over her.
She always works out during practice until she's completely beat.
So that's the reason behind her sleeping so much.
I think she was born with that one.
Yup.
Oh, Yuuichi-san.
Akiko-san.
I'm sorry for asking for so much on the weekend.
It's nothing.
Carrying all of this by yourself would be hard on you.
Really, it's great to have you over.
Yuuichi-kun!
I knew it was you!
We got to meet aga-
Oh no.
Uguu~ I hit my face again.
It's definitely not my fault this time.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Are you Yuuichi-san's friend?
She's a girl I've never met before.
Uguu~ You're so mean.
I'm joking.
Could it be that you don't like me?
That's not true at all.
Did you eat and run again?
No! The oji-san at the taiyaki stand gave it to me.
After you've caused so much trouble, what a generous old man.
She's a very energetic girl.
Um...
Minase Akiko-san.
She's the landlady of the house I'm staying at.
What's "landlady"?
The most important person in the house.
I see.
I learned something new.
Yuuichi-san, will you introduce her to me, as well?
Tsukimiya Ayu.
My friend.
Nice to meet you.
Eh?
Tsukimiya Ayu-chan?
Eh?
Oh no, I must be thinking too much.
Yuuichi-kun, what are you doing after this?
I'm on my way home.
I've got to sort out my stuff from moving in today.
Then I'll help you.
You have the time to?
Yep. Yesterday, you helped me looking for what I lost, so this'll be my thanks for that.
I'm home.
Excuse me.
Please come in.
Aren't you behaving?
I thought you were going to charge in face first like always.
I don't do that all the ti-
Uguu~
Ouchie...
Eh?
Makoto.
Come down. I'll introduce her.
Makoto-san?
Sawatari Makoto.
A freeloader of this house, just like me.
If you act like that, you look creepy.
At least come down to introduce yourself.
I'm Tsukimiya Ayu.
Nice to meet you.
Sa... Sawatari Makoto.
Nice to meet you.
While we're at it, could you help me sort out my stuff, too?
Eh? Me, too?
You're a freeloader, so it won't hurt you to do that much, would it?
Auu~
Makoto-san, are you all right?
Auu~
You really don't have any strength, do you?
Auu~
Leave me alone!
So this is your room.
I'm beat.
I can't walk anymore.
You only carried one up.
I'll bring the rest up, so you guys can open up the boxes and take stuff out.
I know!
What?
Do you want one? A taiyaki.
I can?
It's a little cold, but if you want...
It's sweet.
You don't like sweet things?
But it's good!
You'll get fat, you know.
Where's Makoto?
She said she'd eat later since she's tired.
Working on it with three people got the job done really fast.
Although all you and Makoto did was make a mess.
Uguu~
But we helped a bit, right?
Yeah, you were a big help.
Yay!
If I wasn't a help when I said I'd help, I'd be a liar.
So Ayu, did you find what you were looking for?
No, not yet.
Something she's looking for?
Yes. I don't know what it is, but apparently she's searching for something important to her.
Yuuichi-kun helped me the other day, so today is to thank him.
I see. It'll be nice if you can find it soon.
Have another.
Thank you!
I'll be leaving now.
Can you go home on your own?
I'm not a little kid!
All right.
I wanted to say good-bye to Makoto-san, too...
She's probably taking a nap.
You can...
...visit us again any time.
Yes.
See you again.
Makoto.
Would you like some sponge cake?
Whee!
Oh, you were back.
Yup, I'm home.
Hey, Yuuichi.
You're going to give me a massage?
Thanks.
No.
Then I'll ask you for one after I get out of the bath.
I'm not talking about a massage.
I came to get the notebook I lent you back.
Your notebook?
I lent it to you, since you said the pace here is faster than it was at your old school.
You remember now?
I left it at school.
What am I going to do? I need to do my homework.
Sorry, sorry. I'll give it back to you at school tomorrow.
See ya.
It's not "see ya"
Seeyo.
Not "seeyo" either.
Then what am I supposed to do?
I want to ask you that.
What am I supposed to do?
Let's think about it tomorrow.
Just go to bed for tonight.
Tomorrow would be too late.
Wouldn't it be a problem for you, too, if you couldn't do your homework?
I've advanced to a different realm concerning things like that.
But I haven't.
I need to do the homework; that teacher is strict.
Then you're telling me to go get the notebook from school.
I won't say that much, but...
You got it. I'll go.
The school won't be open though, probably.
There must be an open window somewhere.
If there isn't one, I'll get in even if it means breaking one.
You can't do that.
It'll be cold out.
Don't worry about it; I'll treat it as a jog.
Are you sure?
Kaori already told me...
...not to cause you any trouble.
I'm sorry for making you go to school twice for me.
I deserve it.
Don't let it bother you.
What an amazing view of the stars.
All right, let's head home.
ashimoto ni kaze hikari ga matta
足下に風 光が舞った
As the wind blew by my feet, light from the miracles,
nichijou ni dake tsumotta bun no kiseki ga
日常にだけ積もったぶんの奇跡が
which gathered from everyday life, danced in the air.
miagereba kumo tooku e no kiro
見上げれば雲 遠くへの帰路
Up in the sky are clouds, guides to my faraway home,
osanai hi no jibun yori mo hayaku
幼い日の自分よりも早く
making my homeward bound faster than when I was little.
yukidoke o matteita kodomo no youni
雪解けを待っていた子供のように
Like children waiting for the snow to melt,
hashiru hikaru shizuku tobihaneteru
走る 光る 滴飛び跳ねてる
twinkling lights run and splash around
asu no deai sae kizukazu ni iru
明日の出会いさえ気づかずにいる
without even noticing what they will see tomorrow.
kisetsu tachi no naka de kagayaite iru yo
季節たちの中で輝いているよ
They are sparkling in their seasons.
sekaijuu ni wa donna omoi mo kanau hi ga kuru
世界中にはどんな想いも叶う日がくる
A day will come when any wish will come true anywhere in the world.
zutto tabi o shite yuku bokura ni
ずっと旅をしてゆく僕らに
For we who keep travelling,
chiisana sei tachi maioriru
小さな精たち舞い降りる
a small angel will descend.

I'm a Demon Hunter.
You'll be able to say things like "You're expelled!"
I don't want to say that.
Demon Hunter! Demon Hunter! Demon Hunt-
Akiko-san is a great cook.
You should have her special jam one of these days.
You want to eat something?
You really are like an older brother.
Yeah.
I-I though I was going to get killed.
What did you come here for?
