02x06 - The God Meets a Little Crow
Posted: 02/03/23 22:18
Tomoe believes that humans are fleeting and frail,
and he fears getting involved with them.
I think that you can teach him that humans are not weak.
I want to rekindle Tomoe's bond with humanity.
To have him take your handnot mine.
I want to allow Tomoe to choose you.
Mikage!
But it seems he still has a long way to go.
What were you speaking about with MikageNanami?
It wasn't anything important.
It was just a little bit of small talk.
I see.
They live for a long time.
They live with the same love in their hearts for centuries.
To fall in love with someoneto need themis a highly risky proposition for spirit kind.
I'm human,
which means I'm gonna die a long time before Tomoe does.
I really do want him to love me.
But that seems so selfish now.
Why did Mikage say
that he wants to allow Tomoe to choose me?

The God Meets a Little Crow
You look glumLady Nanami.
If you find it painful to part ways with me you could extend your stay.
Not like you have anything better to do.
WellI still have school.
Though it was only for seven days you fulfilled your duties admirably.
You can return with your head held high.
Thank you very muchLord Ookuninushi.
Ahyes. I had promised to tell you of Mikage's whereabouts.
But alas...
The truth iseven I was unable to ascertain...
It doesn't matter anymore.
It doesn't? So...
You don't need to find him?
Until Tomoe completely ceases to need me I have no intention of seeing him.
No.
OhI got you something.
They're blot sheets made of Izumo paper.
You had no time for sightseeingright?
Get your girl power up with these.
ActuallyTomoe and I went out for a while yesterday.
Ohgood. I'm sure you found Izumo to be a fine place.
Wellsince I carried out my important duties myself,
I'll treat myself and the ladies to a long-deserved date in the other world!
Lord Ookuninushi!
Ookuninushi has a pretty set type.
You're terribleLord Ookuninushi!
You have me yet you're going off to see women in the mundane world?!
The girls he's going out with are human?
IOokuninushilove godshumansand spirit kind alike— any and all who are deemed to be women.
I believe in equal love for all! I will not choose!
Resolute
Resolute
Ah! Lord Ookuninushiyou're the best!
Then...
Humans and spirit kind...
Could they ever be joined together?
I'm afraid not.
Wellif saying that could put a stop to such a love,
then one need not worryfor it will fade quickly.
It all depends...
upon the parties involved.
What is the matter with Lady Nanami?
She has seemed listless since the banquet.
She's probably tired.
The other gods will be staying for another seven days in Izumo,
so I wish I could've taken her to relax in the hot springs.
That's enough out of you.
The shrine can't be left unattended forever.
Then why don't you go back by yourself?
I'll take her to the hot springs.
I will remain with Nanami.
You go back.
And they're fighting again.
We are going homeNanami.
Let's go to the hot springs together.
Get in.
Sorrybut can you guys go back without me?
I can't be close to Tomoe. Not right now.
It's like a wall's between usand I can't get passed it.
She has a return flight booked so I'm sure she'll be fine by herself.
HoweverI'm kind of surprised you're actually letting her stay somewhere so far away from us.
It's not like you at all.
Meanwhileat the Mori residence...
Is this your weak spotMontarou?
Noplease stop that! It's Monjirou!
That...
Take that and that and that!
...cursed fox! I'm going to k*ll him!
Kikuichilet me k*ll you.
I'll spend another seven days and remake you.
M-M-Master Kirihito!
Master!
What is the matter?!
It's nothing.
Tomoe...
Kirihito.
I am coming in.
Kirihito?
I wonder if Tomoe thought it was weird when I said I wanted to go home alone.
Nanami.
Himemiko!
What are you doing here?
Out shopping.
Ohuh... Masatakewas it? You're doing a great job there.
I'm Aotake!
Nanamidid thou return from Izumo just now?
Yeah. Thanks for coming to see me off when I left.
It was nothing.
Is that impertinent fox not with youland god?!
SilenceAotake! Do not use such language!
Tomoe and I traveled separately.
Nanami.
Wilt thou not go on a date with me?
What?
This is pretty good.
Aotakedeliver those to the Mikage Shrine.
Let us goNanami.
O-Okay.

HeyI'm here too.
Manager! The usual!
You come here often?
YesI do.
"The usual" doesn't tell me anything!
So things are still going well with you two.
I'm relieved.
Nanamidid something happen in Izumo?
Thou can tell me.
What?
In IzumoI was told...
that the gravity of our feelings is different for humans and spirit kind.
You guys hold on to one love in your hearts forever.
Forever. Long after I'm dead.
When I thought about that,
I couldn't say frivolous things to Tomoe anymore.
Thou art incorrectNanami.
What?
If thou dost not speakno one shall be happy.
My darling Kota and I are only together because thou took action.
It has brought me such joy.
Your blessing allows us to share these forbidden feelings.
It is true that our lifespans differ.
That is precisely why my time with Kota is dear.
I do not wish to spend that time doing nothing and regretting it.
Dost thou not think soNanami?
I do.
I don't want to regret anything either.
Yeah.
I also...
want to cherish the time I have with Tomoe.
And...
I want to tell him that I love him.
I'm home!
Oh! Welcome backNanami!
You are late.
What manner of drivel delayed you this time?
OhTomoe.
He's been waiting for you since morning. Isn't that right?
Shut upsnake!

Yatori?
Never heard of him.
This guy wants to meet with me?
A third-rate spirithuh?
Ohhow I've fallen.
He acted all chummy and sent you an unsolicited letter. Such impudence!
Pleasemaster. Permit me to research his past.
Ignore him.
We don't have time to waste on small fry.
Master Kirihito.
Can I chow down on these sweet potato and red bean buns?
Do whatever you want.
Yay!
Oohthey look tasty!
I would like one as well!
Who the hell are you?!
F-F-Forgive me!
You were asked a question.
Y-Yessir!
My name is Yatori.
Word on the street is that you're trying to revive Master Akura-oh from his confinement in the Netherworld.
I am in favor of that. Allow me to assist you in his righteous restoration.
I would gladly go get his body for you.
You would? Why?
A world ruled by Master Akura-oh is my ideal world.
Only he is worthy of ruling this world.
I do this solely out of loyalty to him.
Your intentions are promisingbut can you do this?
So he hasn't realized that I'm Akura-oh.
What a terrific moron.
I don't see a shred of emotion in those eyesyet he speaks of loyalty? What a joke.
Show me that you're not all talk.
Your apprehension is understandable.
NaturallyI have already made the proper arrangements.
To prove my loyaltyI will present Master Akura-oh with the sacred mountain of Mount Kurama.
I will take control of the crows of Kuramaand I hope to lead that force in his service.
He must take me for a fool.
I'll be waiting to hear the good newsYatori.
Howeverhe may yet prove useful.
Yessir!
I will not let you down. I swear it.
They were niceweren't they?
They even shared some of their sweet buns with me.
Don't be so naive.
I could tell right away.
No matter how much he pretendsthat human is Akura-oh.
It was so easy for us to get past his guard.
Ohhow the mighty have fallen.
They say that ill weeds grow apacebut...
You knowthe nice ones don't live long.
Heywho do you suppose Kirihito is?
He had such a calm demeanor in the Netherworld.
Not to mention...
You will likely never see him again.
Yeahbut the thing isI ran into him in town right before I went to Izumo.
Nanami!
Kurama's concert is todayand I won a ticket for you!
Really?!
Yep! One for you and one for Kei.
But Kei says she has a date and can't comeso...
Tomoewant to come?
Tomoelet's go!
Like hell.
Ohcome onTomoe!
Why must I listen to his singing?
My ears will rot!
Gleaming in the dark
Kurama's really cool when he's singingyou know.
As a fellow spirityou should study Kurama since he blends into the human world so well.
No need!
Awjeez. Then I'll at least...

Were you the one who trampled over mewoman?!
You insolent fool!
I'm sorry! I didn't think anyone would be sleeping there...
Wait...
I am Botanmaru of Mount Kurama.
I was not sleeping.
I was listening to sounds traveling through the earth!
A crow?
So cute!
What business does a little crow have here?
I am searching for someone.
Master Soujoubou the Third's son and heirMaster Shinjurou!

Are you okay? You're not hurt?
You insolent fool! You won't get away with this!
Cursed fox spirit!
What is this? So you cannot fly?
Ohwait!
Ignore him.
No!
I can't ignore him!
Tomoeyou go home without me!
Take care of Mamoru for me!
Botanmaru.
Mind if I help you look for Shinjurou?
Tell me everything.
Botanmaru.
Botanmaru.
Are you crying againBotanmaru?
Did Jirou beat you again?
Herelet me see.
BrotherI hate myself.
One of the kids born last year is already much taller than me.
I am already sixyet my wings are not even fully grown.
Shinjurou was like that too.
Shinjurou?
Even though he was born to the Third.
Like youhe was a late bloomer.
And he was the first to be born in years so he was judged harshly by those around him back then.
He often received beatings from Jirou.
But he was a child who never cried.
He was always sitting atop that rock.
There.
Right where you're sitting.
Where is Master Shinjurou now?
I don't know.
He was gravely injured when he was twelveand he ended up descending the mountain.
No one knows where he is.
Grow strongBotanmaru.
For we don't wish to lose you as well.
Some say that crows who descend the mountain are failures.
But I do not believe that.
Crows grow to adulthood in eight years,
but on rare occasionsthere are late bloomers like me.
I am seven nowand I still cannot even fly.
I wish to see Master Shinjurou and speak to him about something.
If I can see Master Shinjurou who has now grown into a fine crowI...
I...
What is it?
You're only sevenand you've had it so rough!
Let's find Shinjurou!
I just know that Shinjurou's become a fine man that you can admire!
Of course he has.
There he is! Master Shinjurou!
What?
Huh?
N-No way...
There is no mistake! The portrait from the treasury is an exact likeness!
No way! No way! No way! No way!
No way!
It...
It's Kurama?!
Gleaming in the dark
Wings of deceit
In the embrace of joyful rapture
I fall in madness
Glorious!
All is within my grasp
Kiss youkiss me
Paradise!
Shadow... Die...
That is... Master Shinjurou...
The next song...
is a ballad I wrote just for this day.
Please listen.
"Wings Fling Hazard."
Something I wish for right now
If I had to saythere's only one thing
Dark red thread to stitch these wings
That's all I want
Nightly it creaksmy heart
In blinding darkness
I keep waiting for the moment I take wing
Even as I gnash my teeth
So the guitar's just a prop?
Ohhigh in the skyI spread the wings that will not open
This hazard of mine as I take wing
My heart is so flung free
I'll return for sure
Because this place is all I've got
So come on over here
I won't bite

They live for a long time.

I'm human,
which means I'm gonna die a long time before Tomoe does.

Tomoelet's go!
Like hell.
Ohcome onTomoe!
Why must I listen to his singing?
My ears will rot!
Gleaming in the dark
Kurama's really cool when he's singingyou know.
As a fellow spirityou should study Kurama since he blends into the human world so well.
No need!
Awjeez. Then I'll at least...
Smoosh
Smoosh
Were you the one who trampled over mewoman?!
You insolent fool!
I'm sorry! I didn't think anyone would be sleeping there...
Wait...
I am Botanmaru of Mount Kurama.
I was not sleeping.
I was listening to sounds traveling through the earth!
A crow?
So cute!
What business does a little crow have here?
I am searching for someone.
Master Soujoubou the Third's son and heirMaster Shinjurou!

Do you know him?
No.
Go fly to Mount Takao and ask your fellow crow.
HeyTomoe!
Oh!
Splat

Botanmaru!
Are you okay? You're not hurt?
You insolent fool! You won't get away with this!
Cursed fox spirit!
What is this? So you cannot fly?
Ohwait!
Ignore him.
No!
I can't ignore him!
Tomoeyou go home without me!
Take care of Mamoru for me!
Botanmaru.
Mind if I help you look for Shinjurou?
Tell me everything.
Botanmaru.
Botanmaru.
Are you crying againBotanmaru?
Did Jirou beat you again?
Herelet me see.
BrotherI hate myself.
One of the kids born last year is already much taller than me.
I am already sixyet my wings are not even fully grown.
Shinjurou was like that too.
Shinjurou?
Even though he was born to the Third.
Like youhe was a late bloomer.
And he was the first to be born in years so he was judged harshly by those around him back then.
He often received beatings from Jirou.
But he was a child who never cried.
He was always sitting atop that rock.
There.
Right where you're sitting.
Where is Master Shinjurou now?
I don't know.
He was gravely injured when he was twelveand he ended up descending the mountain.
No one knows where he is.
Grow strongBotanmaru.
For we don't wish to lose you as well.
Some say that crows who descend the mountain are failures.
But I do not believe that.
Crows grow to adulthood in eight years,
but on rare occasionsthere are late bloomers like me.
I am seven nowand I still cannot even fly.
I wish to see Master Shinjurou and speak to him about something.
If I can see Master Shinjurou who has now grown into a fine crowI...
I...
What is it?
You're only sevenand you've had it so rough!
Let's find Shinjurou!
I just know that Shinjurou's become a fine man that you can admire!
Of course he has.
There he is! Master Shinjurou!
What?
Huh?
N-No way...
There is no mistake! The portrait from the treasury is an exact likeness!
No way! No way! No way! No way!
No way!
It...
It's Kurama?!
Gleaming in the dark
Wings of deceit
In the embrace of joyful rapture
I fall in madness
Glorious!
All is within my grasp
Kiss youkiss me
Paradise!
Shadow... Die...
That is... Master Shinjurou...
The next song...
is a ballad I wrote just for this day.
Please listen.
"Wings Fling Hazard."
Something I wish for right now
If I had to saythere's only one thing
Dark red thread to stitch these wings
That's all I want
Nightly it creaksmy heart
In blinding darkness
I keep waiting for the moment I take wing
Even as I gnash my teeth
So the guitar's just a prop?
Ohhigh in the skyI spread the wings that will not open
This hazard of mine as I take wing
My heart is so flung free
I'll return for sure
Because this place is all I've got
So come on over here
I won't bite
