01x13 - Transfiguration

[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...]

How's it going, Watanuki-kun?

Mm, not so well...

If we're gonna do stuff like this,
I'd've taken art as an elective class.

Anyway, if I'm gonna draw,
I'd rather draw Himawari-chan...

How about you?

What do you think?

It's very......unique!

But, you know, drawing outside
while it's still so hot...

Don't you think it's terrible?

Mm... Yes. Yes, exactly.

And on top of that, we're not drawing
landscapes, we're doing self-portraits.

Without doubt our school is a little,
no, quite different.

--Oh, wow!
--You're so good!

Hey, since you're finished,
would you help me with mine?

--Huh?
--Ah! Me, too!

Please!

Mm-hmm.

Thanks! You're a lifesaver!

Thank you!

What is it?

Aah!

That girl in class 2... Everyone says
she's so nice and polite, very quiet.

Oh?

Something happen with her?

No, not at all.

What? You're still up here?

Hurry, let's go home!

Sorry.

Today I got to see Himawari-chan in her
uniform for the first time in a while...

Aah, I'm so happy!

But, there is something
I'd like to say...

Why are you here!?

My club is not meeting today.

Why the heck are they already having
a day off at the start of the new term!?

Don't ask me.

You're carrying the pipe
fox around with you again?

I'm not carrying him around!

Then, you're being made
to carry him around?

No. He just comes along on his own.

He just longs to be with you, huh?

I just know Yuko-san is going
to give me the worst odd jobs

once she finds out he's come
along with me again.

--Tomorrow's lunch...
--We're gonna talk about
lunches all of a sudden!?

Make it inari-zushi.
[sushi wrapped in fried tofu]

Don't be thinking like a fox!

Ah! I wasn't even protesting
having to make Doumeki's lunches.

This situation is going to
continue forever, isn't it?

Well, it's no big deal as long
as I'm making my own lunch.

No, it is not! Doumeki is taking
advantage of my generosity!

Aren't those girls from
today's art lesson...

Wings?

Is that a design on her shirt?

Could it be cosplay?

But I didn't notice it before.

Ah, I'm sorry, but if you have
any coins, could I borrow some?

I'll repay you tomorrow.

Oh, me, too!

No.

Doesn't she seem like a
completely different person?

They say the usually quiet type
are scary when they snap.

Stop trying to scare me.

A feather?

--Watanuki!
--Yes!?

Watanuki, let me see what's
in your pocket right now.

Uh... Umm... Well, you see...

The truth is, there is a
good explanation for this.

It's not like I just thought
I'd take him out with me;

he just came along on his own.

I'm sorry!

I'm talking about your other pocket.

Huh? It's not about this guy?

Could it be...

How'd you get it?

It's from when I was walking along
an alley on my way home from school...

Yuko-san, what are you doing,
all of a sudden!?

That was dangerous!

Besides, you could at least listen

through to the end before
doing something like that!

Be careful, Watanuki...

What?

...so that you don't become bait.

They're quite triangular.

Just like a fox's ears, right?

Anyway, if we're going to eat together,

this is an odd place
to be making a fuss over.

And I so wanted to eat
with Himawari-chan!

Kunogi has day duty, remember?

I know that!

So?

What?

Finish what you were telling me before.

That girl you saw on
the way home yesterday

with wings growing
out of her back...

What happened after that?

Oh. About that...

You're in the way.

Ah! Oh, sorry!

--That girl?
--Yeah.

I couldn't see any wings on her back.

I see. Then it must be a spirit
or something after all.

What is it?

Well, it might just be my imagination,

but it seems the wings on her back
are bigger than they were yesterday.

Hello!

Hello!

Hmm? Where's Yuko-san?

The mistress went out today.

Out with Mokona.

Oh, is that so?

And I thought we'd go
to the Fall Festival.

Mistress said, "That's too bad."

And that she'd wanted to play
Watanuki today, too.

"Play" me!?

Yay! Watanuki's the straight man!

A subtle comeback!

Oh. In that case, how about you two
come with me to the Fall Festival?

Himawari-chan is coming, too.

You have yukata, right?
[a cotton summer kimono]

I'm certain I saw some before,

when we were airing out
everything in the bureau.

We can't go.

You mean you need
Yuko-san's permission?

Maru and Moro cannot leave this shop.

That's because we don't have souls.

You don't have souls?

The inside of the shop and the outside
may look the same, but they're not.

Bodies without souls cannot cross

the interval between the shop
and the outside.

The bodies cannot endure it.

Then that means...

You again!?

Watanuki is well-liked!

--Extremely well-liked!
--Complicatedly well-liked!

I didn't quite understand it...
That bit about souls.

What do they mean the inside of
the shop is different from outside?

I should ask Yuko-san
when she gets back.

That bit about "bait"
has me concerned as well.

Ah! Himawari-chan!

She's too cute!

What is it, Watanuki?

Aah, nothing! Sorry
for making you wait!

That's all right. I just came
a little too early.

He was just telling me your story.

Huh? My story?

--Yo!
--D-D-D-D-D-D-Doumeki!

What are you doing here!?

Because you two get along so well,
I thought it would be best to invite him.

You invited him, Himawari-chan?

Something wrong, Watanuki-kun?

Nah, I was thinking it
was a nice decision.

Now that Watanuki is here,
shall we go?

Hey, who died and made you the boss!?

Let's go, Watanuki-kun!

Yeah!

Watanuki-kun, do you like night fairs?

Yeah, I love stuff like
the night fairs.

But, lots of them come out
at times like this...

What do you mean, "lots of them"?

Huh!? Ah... Well... Bugs and stuff.

I guess you're right. There are still
a lot of mosquitoes and things in Autumn.

Being a shrine and all, it's not
unusual for spirits and such to be out.

I guess I have this guy
to thank for that.

Of course I'm thankful for that, but...

But, really!

"Scooping Up Goldfish"

"Scooping Up Goldfish"
Hey, let's do this.

What are you doing, deciding
these things by yourself!?

I want to do it, too!

T-That's right.

A festival just can't begin
without scooping up some goldfish!

I've been itching to put my skills
to use for a while now!

Take a look at this enthusiastic right hand!

--Himawari!
--Hmm?

Excuse me, I'm going to go
talk to them for a bit.

A-Ah, umm...

Your yukata is cute!

Are you not going to do it?

I don't want people thinking we're some
kind of couple, catching goldfish together!

You're the one that hit it.

Now, Mie...

T-That girl!

And I apologized, didn't I!?

--For that?
--Stop.

Yeah, let's go.

No. I want a proper apology.

Obstinate little...
Aren't you being a bit ridiculous?

Hey! What are you doing!?

You're the ridiculous one.

Oh, no. Hurry, let's go!

No doubt about it.
Her wings are growing.

Doumeki, you stay here! I'm concerned,
so I'm going to check it out.

I'm sure she came this way...

You were glaring at me earlier.

Huh!?

You were, weren't you?

I wasn't glaring.

But I thought that
I was being glared at.

So, apologize.

If I made you think so,
I'm sorry, but...

I really wasn't glaring or anything.

Whatever! Just hurry and apologize!

There's no need for him to,
though, is there?

Apologize! Apologize!

The wings...

Apologize right now!

You're the one who should apologize.

Are you okay?

I told you, didn't I? To be careful...

Yuko-san!

You were going to become the victim.

Like that girl...

What you said about
not becoming bait...

Was about becoming a victim?

What was that monster?

Wings.

A parasite that grows
by preying on people.

And, little by little,
the human it has attached to

loses control of their self.

In exchange, they are set free
from various things.

It was just her bad luck
that she was possessed?

That's not the case.

You've seen it a lot
on the news, right?

The criminal's friends and acquaintances
interviewed all say this...

That they were quiet, normal people.

That they never seemed like the kind
of person to do something like that.

But, you see, this spirit
won't possess just anyone.

It won't feed on only those
who strongly feel that

they don't care if they lose
their ability of control.

This girl is one who possesses
the fundamentals of charming spirits.

You've come to! Are you all right?

Losing even one emotion
destabilizes the soul

and throws the body out of balance.

I imagine she'll be like that
for quite a while.

No way...

Isn't there something we can do
to return her to normal?

Yuko-san!

An advantage to being human
is that they have faults.

If it's an emotion that has been lost,

it can be brought up
and put back once more.

It will probably take time, though.

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.

You and me... It's practically
like a mirror.

Though we're not facing each other.

You are not me.

I am not me either?

Imprisoned. Drifting.

Bound.

But that's fine.

Next time, Holic, "Seal".
