01x04 - Uranai

[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, years old Hateful self, 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, years old Hateful face, 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...)

"Private Cross Academy"

"Private Cross Academy" Watanuki-kun, you're really good at cooking, huh?

Watanuki-kun, you're really good at cooking, huh?

This fried egg is wonderfully delicious! Like cake!

Your meatballs are good!

Oh... I bought those.

Huh?

I only warmed them up.

Uh... Umm... What I mean to say is... They're exquisitely...

Magnificently warmed up.

You're a moron.

Who's a moron!?

Hey, what are you eating!?

What happened to your own?

After I worked so hard to make it!

Ate it.

So cute!!

You two get along so well!

Who gets along well!?

Ah! If you're misunderstanding about lunch, it's not that.

It's just... Don't eat that!!

For Doumeki going along and saving me the other day,

promising to make him lunch as apology, or collateral, or whatever...

I don't want Himawari-chan to ever know!

No!

If I say that, won't it give her a reason to talk to Doumeki first?

Why? Why!?

What'll I do!? What'll I do!?

--Oh yeah, Watanuki-kun... --Huh?

M-Me?

Uh... Ah? Huh?

Yes! She called on me first!

How's that, Doumeki!?

What is it, Himawari-chan?

When's your birthday?

Huh? Umm... April st.

Hmm... Just like your name, huh.

That's kind of nice, isn't it.

Ah! The one that's nice is you, Himawari-chan!

How about yours, Doumeki-kun?

March rd.

"Astrology" Hah! That's the same as the Doll Festival.

"Astrology" How cute!

"Astrology"

She said it's cute.

She said something about Doumeki was cute.

It's over. I'm ruined.

Watanuki-kun, you're an Aries, right?

My birthday is November th so I'm a Sagittarius.

This says Aries and Sagittarius are both fire signs,

and we're compatible.

I am revived!

This is delicious!

Shall I have Watanuki go buy us some more?

Yeah!

Hello!

I'm here for work.

Watanuki's here!

So, you're drinking in the middle of the afternoon again.

There's still some of the salted cuttlefish I made yesterday, right?

That's fine, but I want to eat something with more carbohydrates.

Don't tell me you haven't eaten lunch yet.

Yep.

My lunch was...

Oops, this is mine only...

I'll shut it up in my heart's treasure chest.

I'm feeling great today so I'll make anything you want!

--Tra la la la la... --Seems like it.

Do you want to ask me about it?

If you do, I'll tell you about it.

You're not going to lock it up in your heart's treasure chest?

The truth is...

But that's just from looking at your sun sign, right?

Sun?

The location of the moon, the location of Venus...

Unless you look closely at your horoscope,

you'll never know your compatibility.

Uh... Huh?

Don't you know?

Not at all.

Watanuki, do you like fortune-telling?

Definitely not!

All right! Shall we get going?

--Let's go! --What?

Where are we going?

I was wondering what a fortuneteller might tell you...

But I said I'm not at all interested.

That just about any human life can,

at best, be divided into about ten different patterns...

It's practically impossible.

But girls love it... fortune-telling.

If you know about it, your conversations with Himawari-chan could be enhanced.

Oooh... I wanna know!

That's a good face, Watanuki!

But why did we go out? Where are we going?

To the place of the fortuneteller I consult.

The one you see?

You have someone else tell your fortune?

Huh. You seem surprised.

Can't you do it yourself?

It is taboo to divine your own future.

You'll only end up seeing what you want to, anyway.

There are lots of predictions and stuff like that.

Predictions and divinations are different?

In authenticity, yes.

You'll understand after you meet this fortuneteller.

Then this is...

--It's a present. --You're gonna drink again?

We're gonna drink!

All right! Let's hurry it up!

"Divination House"

Huh?

What's the matter? Isn't this the place?

No.

We got the wrong location?

The location is correct, but it's different.

Huh?

Then, shall we go home?

Uh... What are you doing?

I want to find out...

...what kind of fortuneteller is in this place now.

What's this?

You write your birthday, where you were born, and such on it.

It's for collecting data on those who come in for divinations.

I see.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ah... Please go easy on me.

And you?

I'm just accompanying.

What a cute stuffed toy!

Huh? Oh...

Please don't be nervous.

She seems so nice.

Completely different from Yuko-san.

I can hear you.

Ack! I was thinking out loud?

Well, shall we get started?

Uh, yes.

Your father... ...has passed, hasn't he?

Uh...

Yes. He died when I was little.

Your mother?

Also gone.

--Siblings? --None.

You certainly have suffered some hardship since you were little.

Y-You understand?

Hmph.

Are you living on your own now?

Yes. In an apartment.

You have independence,

an independent spirit, and you're full of vigor.

No matter the situation, you're looking forward.

I imagine you're quite good with domestic chores.

I don't dislike them.

You're not particularly shy, either.

Athletics?

I rather like them.

Active and intelligent.

No, not really...

Right now you're worrying over human relations.

Ah, yes. Well...

What is it?

It's okay. You're a very honest person.

As long as you treat them with sincerity, others will understand.

Sincerity?

Really! What is it?

Do you have any other worries?

Well, there are...

Difficult to say?

Something like that.

It will be all right, because the point is having spirit.

Eh?

As long as your thoughts are gloomy,

anything and everything will become unpleasant.

No matter what, stay positive and just try your best

and the world will begin to look different.

It may be difficult, but if you just stand there and wait nothing will change.

Try to have courage.

Yes.

--Thank... --What's today's weather forecast...

...I wonder.

The weather report said it should remain clear.

I see.

Yuko-san?

It's time.

Would you like to continue?

No thanks.

That's enough.

Umm...

Thank you for paying for the divination for me.

She sure was amazing, wasn't she, that fortuneteller!?

What did you think was amazing?

Eh? Well...

Without even looking at anything, she was like,

"Your father has passed, hasn't he?"

That could have gone either way though, couldn't it.

Huh?

She didn't say that your father had already passed.

She didn't say that he was gone.

It could have been interpreted that he was dead or alive.

The one who clearly said he was dead was you. Not her.

But... But she said that I must have had a difficult time since I was little.

Children who lose their parents at a young age almost always suffer hardship.

The parts about having independence, an independent spirit,

and being full of vigor

are all characteristics of those born under the sign of Aries.

Astrology books can be bought in any bookstore.

What about being good at domestic chores?

You have a very neat personal appearance for a boy living on his own.

If you didn't do everything yourself, that wouldn't be the case, now would it.

She knew I was worrying over human relations.

You think there is anyone in this modern society who doesn't, at least a little?

Ah...

As far as the part about sincerity,

that is key to personal relations, not any kind of special advice.

When she asked if you had any other concerns, Watanuki,

you were thinking about the spirits, yes?

Yes.

Do you remember her advice?

About having spirit...

If that meant you wouldn't see spirits,

it would have happened a long time ago now, wouldn't it?

She couldn't imagine that kind of concern.

Trouble at school, concerns about love, if it were something like that,

what she said would have been most reasonable.

You mean, that fortuneteller...

There are fortunetellers who take lessons in divination.

That's fine for what it is, though.

Now that you mention it, she did think that Mokona was only a stuffed toy.

Mokona is Mokona! I didn't like her!

So, like I thought, divination and fortunetellers are...

--Shall we go find one? --Uh...

I will show you a true fortuneteller.

Fold it in half.

Okay.

Once more.

That which is sought, they who are sought, the place we are seeking...

That which searches, those who search, the place which must search...

Guide us, that which flies, to the one we seek...

A butterfly?

Good. A butterfly means they're close.

Fluttering butterfly!

That handkerchief just turned into a butterfly?

Yes. If it had been farther, it would have turned into a bird.

Oh!

We've found it.

Huh? Here?

Here.

But there's no sign... ...and it seems so normal.

You've come, Yuko-chan!

--I've been waiting. --It's good to see you again!

My, my, you haven't changed a bit.

Well aren't you a wonder!

What's your name?

Mokona!

Hand shake?

Mokona-chan, then. Yes, I'll shake your hand.

To be so young and living by yourself...

H... How?

This is no place to be standing around talking.

Please, come in.

Yuko-san, have you said anything to this old woman about me?

You know I haven't had that kind of time.

You're right.

Watanuki, see for yourself what a real fortuneteller is like.

Right.

Would you tell me your name?

Ah... Watanuki Kimihiro.

Kimihiro-kun, huh.

Umm... Do you gather divinatory data from hearing my name?

Data? It's just difficult, not knowing what to call you.

Was that all?

But that is a fine name.

Your mother gave it to you, huh.

Huh?

That bird certainly has been singing a lot recently.

He wasn't so good at first, but he has become quite remarkable.

Please put your hand here.

Pendulum, pendulum...

Umm... Are you not going to ask if I have any questions,

or need anything predicted?

She already knows that you came here to see a true divination.

She'll take an exact reading of what you want and tell you only those results.

Neither too much, nor too little.

Only what you need to know.

I say it so simply, but it is really rather difficult.

Is that from before, with you?

Rest easy, your parents are quietly resting in peace.

They died in such a terrible accident.

In order to protect you.

But they say they don't hurt anymore.

They are both at peace and happy

that you have become such a fine young man.

Is that so?

I'm glad.

--But... --Huh?

There are a great many strange things you see that have you worried.

There should have been a meeting...

Ah, I see. It was this that brought you here to me.

A butterfly, you see, is an omen that marks a journey,

and also a transformation.

The beginning of the metamorphosis... ...has already occurred.

Also, there seems to be a girl who you think is wonderful...

Eh?

Continuing to try figuring out your future is insignificant, so just let it be.

Eh!?

You also have a friend you fight with a lot too, huh.

There will be even more of a relationship between you from now on.

Eh!?!

This is about what you wanted to ask, yes?

Even though she's told you this much, she won't ask for payment.

Uh...

U-Umm... Thank you very much.

What do I owe you?

Because you are good at cooking,

something to eat with sake would be nice.

Yay!

We brought some!

But is that enough, something like that?

Since when is a meal made from the heart just "something like that"?

You want to be as good as your father at cooking, right?

Right!

I will cook with my fighting spirit!

Mokona, too!

The kitchen is this way, right?

Pupupu!

The butterfly is your signature, isn't it, Yuko-chan.

"The present world is Dream. Dreams at night are truth. Yuko"

Kimihiro-kun's changing started with you.

It shall be fun to see how he changes.

Oh yeah, what do you think tonight's weather will be like?

It will be all right.

It will stop by the time you leave.

I kind of wish she would have told me more.

Particularly anything about Himawari-chan.

That is not allowed.

Huh!? But she was so great!

She could see it, right?

Fortune-telling, you see,

is a give and take between the diviner that which would be divined.

If it is something that you think you want to know,

the teller would be unable to answer.

The limits of one's abilities, with all of their power,

should never be forgotten.

It is the same, no matter the business.

Lying because you can't see, or aren't able to make out the form,

conducting yourself as if you can do something you can't,

is just rude to those who are serious.

No, divinations about someone's direction of living influences their life path.

It's not just rude, it's intrusive.

By the same token,

true fortunetellers risk their own life path with self-divination.

So saying, let's go home and drink some more!

You're going to drink more!?

What's more, that has nothing to do with what you were talking about before!

We'll drink some more!

Watanuki, carbohydrates!

You'll get fat, you know.

I'll be fine!

--I'll drink you up, carbohydrates! --You can't drink carbohydrates.

Oh, how about I make rice gruel?

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.

Barriers, crushing evil, a rival destroys that which becomes wicked...

Lies separating the here and there...

Paper-thin.

A dark night. A misty moonlit night. The evening of a full moon...

Wings playing in the dripping moonbeams...

Sake cups lifted in the clear moonlight...

How would you like a banquet this evening?

Next time, Holic, "Shiritori". [Japanese word game]

Shall I grant your wish?
