01x12 - Summer Shadow

[bunniefuu]

Did lips, painted with poison,
just come to my room?

It seems as if my mind and body
are melting with your kiss.

Hateful self, 19 years old
Hateful self, 19 years old

Your heart is so beautiful
it's almost nauseating.

Why would you kiss someone like me,
who can't do a thing?

Hmm?

Hateful days, 19 years old
Hateful face, 19 years old

L-L-L-Like a black swallowtail butterfly,

I want to fly on magnificent wings!

P-P-P-Please don't say it's ridiculous!

That kind of life is good...

It's good!
[L-L-L-Like a black
swallowtail butterfly...]

"Soon..."

"You'll come."

"I'll be waiting for you."

"I hear your footsteps."

"You've come to the door."

"Finally, I can meet you."

Here, huh?

What a great place!

Seems fun.

Well, of course it does. That's
because you aren't carrying anything!

Being worn out with that much
baggage is rather slovenly.

Yeah.

Carrying just this stuff
would have anyone worn out.

Doumeki-kun isn't.

Huh!?

Sorry, Doumeki-kun,
for having you carry my things.

Not a problem.

I-If it were Himawari-chan's bags,
I'd carry ten or twenty!

Everyone, Watanuki says you can
let him carry all of your things.

I did not!

Okay. If you want to, then here.

I don't want to!

That's amazing, Watanuki-kun.
You can carry more?

It's a piece of cake!

What's in here?

It's okay, Himawari-chan.

Idiot.

What was that, jerk!?

So this is the rental house
we'll be staying in?

Yes.

It certainly has been hot recently, huh?

Since it's summer vacation and all,

I was thinking everyone
might like to go summering.

It's the best!
Though we don't need you!

The luggage really does look heavy.

This is fine.

If you just ask,
Doumeki-kun will help you.

I will not ask.

Not at all?

No!

It'd be easier if you did.

It's not happening!

He really is an idiot.

You've said it twice, you jerk!

You're always saying I'm an idiot,
no matter what.

--In the first place, why
are you always so calm!?
--Well then, we'll go in.

--You don't even sweat!
--The key?

--How do you think I feel,
carrying all this luggage!?
--Here!

Why are your eyes so cold!?

Why do you live in a temple
with such a huge kitchen!?

"It's hot."

It's very hot today.

I decorated with a flower just for you.

From inside a blue vase,
a blue flower I'm looking after.

Even in this heat,
perhaps it won't wither.

Yes. I must change the water.

After all, it's a precious flower,
just for you.

How wonderful!

Yes. And it seems they were
thorough in their maintenance.

Shall we go check out the upstairs?

Yeah! Hop, hop, hop, hop!

Even the kitchen is pretty.

What's with me, checking in
here before anything else?

But I'm the one that does the cooking.

I even transported the ingredients,
by myself!

Ow! Ow, ow!

You have no strength.

I'd just grabbed hold of it!
I hadn't turned it!

Wow! The ocean is just below us.

Yes. It's finally summer,
one must swim.

You were asked to bring
your swimsuit, right?

Yes!

That's good, right?

"You came."

"The one I've been waiting
all this time for."

"I wonder if the blue flower
caught your interest."

"I wonder if it brought you joy."

I wonder if you smiled.

The room is pretty, too!

Ah, the smell of salt...

Himawari-chan probably looks
so cute in a swimsuit...

But, the ocean...

They're there, I bet...

Spirits and ghosts in swarms!

Aah, but, but, Himawari-chan's
such a good swimmer!

Huh?

There's something bothering me...

What is?

What's bothering you?

That you're in the next room!

I wanted to be next to Himawari-chan!

But isn't Kunogi in
the room across the hall?

Across the hall doesn't have
the same feeling as next door!

I don't see the difference.

You'd never understand
in your entire life!

Then that's fine.

You are so irritating!

"I wonder if you've realized."

"I wonder if you're aware of me."

"Tell me... Dear..."

"I'm here."

Aah, that was great!

The flavor of the cooked
meat was superb.

Himawari-chan, would you like more?

I'm full. Thank you, Watanuki-kun.
It really was delicious.

Aww, shucks...

More.

You eat too much!

--Just how much were you
planning on eating!?
--Dear...

--When was I gonna get
to sit down and eat!?
--I'm here.

"I'm right here."

"I want you to notice."

I'm waiting for you.

After-dinner champagne is nice!

Yum!

That's good. It was worth
it to bring it along.

Here. Champagne sherbet
for Himawari-chan.

The alcohol has been removed.

Thank you.

Himawari-chan is too cute!

Bring some here, too.

You ain't cute!

Well then, shall we go
to bed early for tomorrow?

That's a good idea.

--Watanuki-kun...
--Hmm?

It's finally come.
Tomorrow, let's swim together.

'Kay!

Good night.

Night!

Let's swim together.
Let's swim together.

Let's swim together...

Hey!

Don't cut in on my
merry-go-round of happiness!

W-What is it?

Ask for help.

Why!? Why would I need your
help cleaning this up!?

Idiot.

Wha!? I'm not making your breakfast
tomorrow morning, so there!

Eat that!

"I'm waiting for you."

"I'll put on the blue dress you like."

I'm waiting for you to come.

There's something I want you to do...

I'm waiting.

I'm waiting.

I'm waiting. I'm waiting.

"I'm waiting."

Uh... Huh?

Just my imagination, I guess.

Not!

From next door?

But...

It stops here.

Huh?

The hallway stops, but why
does this wall continue?

It's almost as if there's another room.

Is it a spirit!? It feels like it.

No. Even if it is,

what if it's something that would
inflict harm on Himawari-chan!?

I don't need to rely on that guy!
I can go alone!

There isn't anything
that seems like a door.

Why could I hear that scratching sound?

I-It continues!

A door?

H-H-He... H-H-Hel...

Watanuki...

Say it.

Doumeki, t-t-this t-t-take...

Huh?

Even with this,
you still won't say it, huh?

Huh? What do you mean?

I've been caught.

In other words, this was all a set-up!?

Well, if you put it simply, yes.

You think I'd just be scared!?

That joke was in poor taste!

I thought so, but Himawari-chan...

She said she felt sorry

that you can't swim even though
you're finally at the ocean.

Even though you chose this
vacation house on the beach,

you can't swim, right?

Particularly around this time,

the ocean is full of spirits
and ghosts, right?

So, I told Himawari-chan
that you can't swim.

And she was all, "Isn't there
something we could do!?"

with all her might.

All Himawari-chan's might... For me!?

So I told her that you could

--ask Doumeki-kun for help.
--Huh!?

If you'd just properly ask him
for help and if he accepted,

then just for one day, he would agree
to keep the sprits and ghosts away.

But only for one day.

Incidentally, Himawari-chan's payment
was the champagne I drank yesterday.

Himawari-chan, for me...

Why do I have to ask
Doumeki-kun for help!?

We thought you might be like that,
so Himawari-chan thought up a way

to get you to ask Doumeki-kun
for help, and Mokona helped.

But we may have overdone it a bit.

It wasn't very scary and you
still couldn't cry out for help.

B... g... a... d...
I-I wasn't all that...

I'm sorry.

It probably would have been better
if we'd thought of another way...

And still, you can't swim.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

You could've said it when you
were cleaning up after dinner.

What was that, you!?

--You could've even asked when
you were carrying the bags.
--Right!?

Even so, you thought up that scenario,
huh, Himawari-chan?

Well, we'd just done the
hyakumonogatari, you know...

It's a story I'd come across

while searching around
on the internet for that.

Supposedly, it's a true
story from this area.

Aah... So it's one of those
many urban legends.

Yeah. They say a woman wearing
a blue dress was kept locked up,

and she'd written "let me
out of here" in blue ink.

Blue ink? Ah... So that's why there
was a blue flower in the kitchen.

--That was really elaborate!
--Huh?

Boy, you were really prepared.

That paper wall was put up when you
went upstairs right after we got here.

When did you do the flower?

--Don't know.
--Huh!?

We made the wall
and wrote in the room,

but I don't know anything
about the flower.

That flower was placed in
the vase with water, right?

When we got here,
the faucet was tight.

Like it hadn't been used
in quite a while.

But the flower and the water
in that vase were fresh.

Who put that together?

You're kidding!
You won't fess up to that?

We can't have that. Somehow,

you had someone from the rental office
take care of it beforehand, didn't you?

Windows?

Ah... Finally I can go out...

This feeling is welling up
for the first time.

The transparent ring connects,
yes, our eyes meet, baby, it's you.

Unto the coloring of the sky,
reincarnation is beginning.

The lamp of my heart is lit,
the door of insight is opening.

More than glossing things over,
I'd rather have your real intentions.

Reserve is the password,
someday we'll solve it.

This feeling is welling up
for the first time.

Pulling my arm, facing each other,
don't be afraid, call a name...

Even I will certainly be reborn.

Falling, crying, feeling,
everything for a reason.

Pain can be borne.

Adversity can be endured.

One grows accustomed to wounds.

And slowly, things settle.

Souls can be released.

Spread snow white wings.

Like the devil gave up being an angel.
