Dream...
I'm seeing a dream...
A dream of waiting for someone...
Sitting on a small bench all alone...
Listening to the crowd far away...
Waiting for the person who wouldn't show up for hours...
...for days...
...and then for years...
H-Hey.
Kawasumi Mai-san, right?
What are you doing?
Theatre club practice?
We met yesterday, right? And the day before, too.
Um...
What was that sound?
Hey, wait!
What was that?
I said wait!
I'm a Demon Hunter.
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.

She already knows the strength it takes

to smile until the end.
Episode 5
Serenade of the Apparition
I'm back!
Welcome home.
Were you able to get in?
Here's the item I found.
Thank you.
I never thought I'd find a school with as poor security as this one.
Next time, I'll bring the headmaster's desk if you want.
I don't need it.
You'll get to play "Headmaster".
You'll be able to say things like "You're expelled!"
I don't want to play that.
Is the bath ready?
I'm chilled to the bones.
It's ready.
Oh, should I give you a massage later?
What was that about?
He-
Hey!
Sorry, I was thinking about stuff, so I didn't know you were in.
Well, it must be some sort of fate that we met like this, so mind if I jo-
I'm joking!
Ow ow ow.
Where'd you get this from?
Auu~
Auu...
What's wrong? You've got a scary look on your face.
I'm not trying to glare at you! I'm about to cry because it's so cold!
Oh right, you always had that scary face on.
Since I live with someone like you without common sense, even my face has started to change.
You could have stayed in there with me.
We're living in the same house, so why not?
I would never let-
Was that Makopinese?
It was "never let that happen" and a sneeze overlapping!
That's what you get for getting out without drying up first.
Auu~
If there's a TV show you want to watch, you'd better watch it tonight.
Makoto, can you say "Demon Hunter" ten times fast?
Why?
Just say it.
Demon Hunter! Demon Hunter! Demon Hunt-
Auu~ I bit my tongue.
I knew you would.
Auu~ you better remember this!
Ow!
I'm a Demon Hunter.
I give up.
Thinking about it won't tell me anything.
Good try.
Auu~
What are you doing to me?!
You're sick, so stay in bed.
That hurt!
And I was planning on ending your life this time!
What are you going to do if it gets worse?
I'll play with you when you get better, all right?
Are you cold at all?
N-No, I'm fine.
Yuuichi!
What?
I'll give you my appreciation for today, but...
Um...
Than-
Some more Makopinese?
It was "thank you" and a sneeze overlapping!
Tuck yourself in tight, all right.
Yup.
Good morning.
Good morning, Yuuichi-kun!
Yeah, morning.
Good morning, Yuuichi-san.
Akiko-san, can I have seconds on rice?
Sure.
Let's eat.
Nayuki isn't up yet?
It looked like she was up late doing homework, so let's let her sleep a little while longer.
Akiko-san, can I have seconds on eggs?
Sure.
What about Makoto?
She looks a little sick, so she's still sleeping.
It doesn't look too serious, but...
Akiko-san, this pickle tastes really good!
Really? Well, eat all you like.
Yep!
Wait, what are you doing here, Ayu?!
Breakfast.
No! I mean why are you here?!
Because I'm eating breakfast.
Eat it at your own house!
Uguu~
I invited her.
Ayu-chan passed by right when I took the trash out.
Akiko-san is a great cook.
You should have her special jam one of these days.
Its taste is out of this world.
I can't wait!
Thank you very much for the food.
Visit us anytime you like.
Yes.
See ya, Ayu.
Yep. Bye bye, Yuuichi-kun.
She really is an energetic girl.
Good morning...
Good morning. I'll get your breakfast ready soon.
If you don't hurry, we're gonna be cutting it close again.
Don't go back to sleep!
Hey, Nayuki.
Nayuki.
Eh?
Where's everyone?
They all went home.
It's already after school.
Oops. I fell asleep again.
You actually sleep during practice, don't you?
I don't.
I'm the captain, and the tournament is close, too.
True, you did look like you were working hard.
I just said don't sleep!
See you later.
Yeah, take care.
Yup.
And now...
There she is.
Kawasumi Mai-san.
We met last night, right? Right around here.
What were you doing with that dangerous thing?
What's a demon?
Could you at least answer me?
Just a "yes" or "no" is fine.
Yes.
Actually, if you really say it just for the sake of saying it...
Mai! I'm sorry!
Eh?
Hello. Were you talking with Mai?
I was just accepting her confession of love.
Hae~ Confession of love...
Hey, since you're not denying it, she's believing it.
I wasn't.
It's too late.
Really, we were just chatting.
Chatting with Mai?
Would you like to join us for lunch?
Eh?
So they're the ones who eat lunch here.
Well then, help yourselves.
I think lunch tastes better if you eat like this.
True. It feels like a field trip, and it's not bad.
My name is Kurata Sayuri.
I'm Aizawa Yuuichi.
Come on, Mai.
Kawasumi Mai.
So, now that we've finished introducing each other...
Well then, let's eat.
What's wrong?
It's wicked good.
Did you make these, Sayuri-san?
Yes. Did it suit your taste?
You pass.
For what?
Being my bride.
If I can be your bride with this, all the girls in the world will be your bride.
No, this is fabulous.
It's comparable to Akiko-san's, my landlady's, cooking.
Thank you very much.
But I'm not a very smart girl, so I wouldn't be a good match for you.
I heard that your grades were amazing, too.
They're not as amazing as people say.
You want to eat something?
Fried egg.
There.
What are you doing, Yuuichi-san?
I feel victorious whenever I manage to make her speak.
I'll serve you anything you want.
Feel free to order.
Tako-san sausage.
Note: "Tako-san" means octopus-san-shaped. The word is used by children and considered cute.
Score.
I feel it's a big deal that I made her say tako-san sausage.
You like tako-san sausage?
I don't dislike it.
Do you like the octopus shape, or do you like sausage?
Sausage.
Do you dislike octopus?
I don't know.
Yuuichi-san is an interesting person.
Would you like to join us on another occasion, too?
Yes. I think your cooking is addictive.
Do you not want to eat with Yuuichi-san, Mai?
I don't mind.
That's great.
Then I'll make three people's worth from now on.
Yeah. I look forward to it.
See ya.
You're here again?
Yes.
I'm here again.
Your name is... Shiori, right?
What's your last name?
I'm keeping it a secret.
They say girls with mysteries are more attractive.
This city is filled with mysterious girls.
You can call me Shiori.
OK. Then you can call me Onii-chan.
OK, I'll do that, Onii-chan.
Actually, let me take that back.
It was embarrassing for me, too, the moment I said it.
How's your cold coming?
Are you taking medicine for it?
I'm taking a lot of them.
Are you following what the doctors say?
Not very much.
Make sure you listen to them.
Otherwise, you won't get better.
You're right; I'll start to follow what they say.
Yeah. Then you'll get better in no time.
You really are like an older brother.
Did you say something?
No, nothing.
What did you come here for today?
Classes are already over.
I was wondering if I would get to see you or not.
Me?
Yes.
Why?
Since you're an interesting person.
I heard that a few minutes back.
So everyone feels the same.
Do you like snow, Yuuichi-san?
No, since it's cold.
I like it.
Since it's beautiful.
Yuuichi-san, let's make a snowman.
Aren't you supposed to be sick?
Besides, since you've been living in this city, aren't you tired of making snowmen?
I can't make a big one by myself.
How big is "big"?
Something like ten metres tall.
That's impossible!
To make one that big was a dream of mine...
...that I once had in kindergarten.
Look at you.
Go home for today.
I'll make one with you when you get better.
Will you really?
I can't guarantee it'll be ten metres tall.
OK. I will live with it.
I'll see you again, Yuuichi-san.
Yeah, take care.
Yes.
Makoto.
What happened to the cold you caught?
I'm better now, so I'm running errands.
I'm off buying tofu!
Can you buy some yourself?
Yes I can. I'm not a child!
You're a child no matter how one looks at you.
I'm an adult!
Yeah?
Yeah!
Then go buy me a porno magazine while you're at it.
What kind of magazine is a porno magazine?
You don't know?
It's a magazine aimed at adults, and it's really exciting to read.
It really turns you on.
Really?
Go up to the store manager and ask, "Can I have a pornographic magazine?"
If there's more than one, get anything the store manager recommends.
OK.
I can read it, too, right?
Only if you're an adult.
Yes, I am an adult.
All right, time to go home.
Yuuichi!
What were you thinking, making me try to buy a book like that?!
Did you buy it?
I can't! I won't! I wouldn't!
Way to cover all the "nots".
It was really embarrassing, you know!
The store manager even explained it to me!
It wasn't something a girl could buy!
It's proof that you're still a child.
An adult woman wouldn't have any problem buying one.
That's a lie!
What's that?
You don't know? It's a pork bun.
Pork bun?
Want to take a whiff?
There.
Yeah.
Auu~
That hurt.
I said a whiff, didn't I?
Did Akiko-san make that?
I bought it myself.
What's that?
It's a manga. Can't you tell just by looking at it?
This isn't your first time reading a manga, is it?
Can I borrow this?
Go ahead.
Where can I buy a pork bun?
The shopping district.
I'm going to go buy one!
Makoto, are you back?
You bought all of these?
Yeah.
Did you have this much money?
Yeah.
If you eat this much, you won't be able to eat dinner.
I'll help you with them.
Yeah.
I can have them, right?
"Yes, go ahead."
What amazing concentration.
Yuuichi!
You took my pork buns, didn't you?
No, I ate them right in front of you.
Eh? When?
I asked if I could eat them right next to you while you were reading.
What did I answer?
"Yes, go ahead."
You're lying! You took them without my permission!
You've got pork bun on your face.
Aren't you slacking off a little too much?
Eat, sleep, and lounge around all day.
You're no different from an animal if you're like that.
Auu~
You were back, Makoto?
What happened to the tofu?
Hey, you didn't use the tofu money for those, did you?
O-Of course I didn't!
Then get the money out now.
Auu~
Later.
Let me warn you now; you won't get out of it any easier if you say "I actually spent it" later.
Now's your chance to tell the truth.
W-Wait.
I actually spent it.
Hey!
Auu~
You said you wouldn't yell at me if I said it now.
I never said that; I only said it'll be better than saying it later!
Now, now, Yuuichi-san.
Can you leave the rest to me?
Did you give her a good lecture?
I told her that I'd give her a separate allowance.
That way she can buy what she likes.
That's all?
Yes.
She won't learn like that.
Why are you so lenient with her?
Because she has amnesia.
I have to take care of her.
Dinner will be ready soon.
Yeah, amnesia.
I'm home.
I'm off.
Where are you going?
Hunting demons.
The creepy mood is perfect.
Hey. I knew I'd find you tonight, too.
From what I saw at lunch, Sayuri-san doesn't know about this, does she?
You hungry at all?
A little.
OK.
What's wrong?
Peel it for me.
Let go of the sword when you eat at least.
Where did you bring that sword from?
It's not real, is it?
Is it a prop from the theatre club or something?
Auu~
Makoto!
I-I thought I was going to get killed.
What did you come here for?
I followed you planning to scare you!
And what's up with this woman!
You deserve it for what you did!
Come...
W-What? Are you making fun of me?
I thought you wanted me to do that.
No, I don't!
Yuuichi, she's a freak.
You're not one to talk.
Here, I don't know where you got the curtain from, but go put it back.
What a drag...
It's your mess, so you clean it up.
Auu~
What's wrong?
Get going.
It's scary, so can you come with me?
So, I'll be heading home.
Yuuichi.
Be kind to her.
C'mon, hurry up.
Yuuichi!
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,

Up in the sky are clouds, guides to my faraway home,

Like children waiting for the snow to melt,

twinkling lights run and splash around

明日の出会いさえ気づかずにいる
without even noticing what they will see tomorrow.

季節たちの中で輝いているよ
They are sparkling in their seasons.

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.

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.
Preview
I plan to spend my day taking care of my bonsai.
It's on! Let's go watch it together!
Nyuu~ Date...
Work? I need to get a job?
I don't like people who do such things.
Soon, she will be needing you.
More than anyone else.
Give it a try, Makoto.
