ふたりの恋目覚めさせて・・・
Let our love awaken...
I wonder if I can get worker's compensation insurance if I get economy class syndrome?
The inside of the car stinks from lunch.
Samidare Apartment, huh?
Right, rain in May, early summer rain.
Note: Samidare - Early summer rain.
It's a fitting name.
Sounds like an unlucky place to be in the month of May.
The one from last night?
That guy looks completely drained of energy.
Women become wild as soon as the first piece of clothing comes off.
Wild in the early summer rain.
Note: A play on the words Samidare and midareru.
So, Murasaki was in Tokyo?
Yes.
Tokyo is a place that can fill you with disgust,
but it is also said to be a high-class place.
Her experiences from living there will be helpful in some way.
And would this helpful experience be needed for a woman of the Inner Sanctuary?
Have you ever sympathized with the women of the Inner Sanctuary before?
What can I do for someone whom I was taught not to sympathize with?
So even you, who knows the outside world, can say that.
What are you asking of me, when I don't even know how it feels to be born cursed?
I wonder what Murasaki is thinking?
She's only seven years old.
You're right.
Seven years old...
That's right.
Did you forget?
Up until she was seven, she had lived in God's residence.
If she were in society, it'd be time for the obi ceremony.
Society has nothing to do with the Kuhouins.
You're right.
Before Murasaki had even turned seven, she had already tied her own obi.
I had thought that was proper etiquette.
You're exactly right.
The tea got cold.
I'm sorry.
The room is cold, too.
Eighth Episode 「Taking Care of Oneself and Cowardice」
This is just terrible.
Today's bread is good.
Really?
Isn't it too sweet?
It certainly is sweet.
I like it.
I like it too.
Everyone gets their own meals starting tomorrow, okay?
Come on, isn't it lonely?
Then bring your own meals.
I chipped my tooth.
With bread?
That's awful. Are you getting old, Yamie?
A bad premonition right in the morning.
Speaking of this month's 15th, it's Shichi-Go-San, isn't it?
Hey, wait, it's almost Shichi-Go-San!
Shichi-Go-San?
You're seven, right, Murasaki-chan?
Yeah.
We've got to celebrate, then.
Celebrate?
Shichi-Go-San is when you celebrate that you're 3, 5 or 7 years old.
Note: Shichi-Go-San = 7-5-3
You're not wrong, but that's a crude explanation.
So, Shichi-Go-San is on the 15th of November.
Hey, let's all go to a temple and celebrate Shichi-Go-San.
Was there a temple in this area, though?
There is.
Hanazono Shrine.
It's near the place where detective Bogey was killed in the line of duty.
Bogey?
You know, the one in "Roar at the Sun!"
He got shot in the stomach and died after yelling "What the hell is this?" when he looked at his blood.
Isn't that Jeans?
After he got shot, he crawled to the elevator, but then he got cut off and died.
That's Detective Rugger.
Was it?
What do you do to celebrate?
Shinkurou-kun will buy you anything.
Wai-
A high school student living by himself.
That woman is always there.
Yeah, she's Benika's subordinate.
Inuzuka Yayoi.
We should switch soon, or they'll figure us out.
Yeah.
Let's change cars for now.
Hey.
Did you find something about the Kuhouins yet?
Give me some more time.
It looks like they aren't just your everyday rich people.
Really?
There's something strange about that household.
Are they that troublesome?
Yeah.
I see.
Oh yeah, November 15th is Shichi-Go-San, right?
Shichi-Go-San?
Hey, what did you do for your Shichi-Go-San, Ginko?
Why?
I was wondering what girls do on Shichi-Go-San.
Like I said, why?
Because it's coming up soon.
This is an expensive looking kimono.
We'll go visit Hanazono Shrine, take some commemorative pictures,
buy some chitose candy and then go eat out with everyone!
And it'll all be on Shinkurou.
But before that, let's put some shadow on her face and dye her lips blood red.
That's makeup, right?
It's just too surprising to see you have these colors, Yamie-san.
I may use them depending on the person.
Like what kind of person?
Like an old man who likes little girls.
We won't do anything to stand out, and there'll also be a bunch of kids around.
And what would you do if something were to happen to her?
That's true, but,
Shichi-Go-San is a once in a lifetime day for Murasaki.
I understand, but...
We can walk while encircling her.
That'll make you stand out more.
Then...
I'll report this to Benika-sama and get her thoughts on it.
I see.
I think it's fine.
I understand, but it'll be a good memory for her.
Could you at least make them go to a small shrine, then?
There are too many people at Hanazono Shrine, and if something happens...
Yes... Yes...
That place should be fine, as it's in front of the station, after all.
Right.
Then make sure not to stand out.
Yes, yes, yes.
They said it's Shichi-Go-San.
Do you have children?
Boys? Girls?
It's okay if you go to the shrine in front of the station.
In front of the station?
There was one there?
Shinkurou!
What do you think? Did I become a mature woman?
Yeah, it's great. I almost didn't recognize you.
Come on, let's go.
It's been a while since I've gone to the Hanazono Shrine.
Let's eat some candy apples, okay, Murasaki-chan?
We've got to go where detective Bogey was killed, too.
This is going to be fun!
Excuse me.
There's been a slight change.
Miss, could I have a potato salad too?
Sure thing, here you go.
A fried chicken bento and a mixed fried bento.
A potato salad, too.
Ah, we only have tuna salad.
Really?
Ah, what should I do?
Perfect, let me ask him.
Sorry about that.
Hello? Perfect timing.
About your salad, the potato- What?
They sure are daring.
Don't tell me, is that it?
It's small.
So this is a shrine?
There aren't going to be any shop stands for sure.
Looks like nothing will happen, either.
Murasaki-chan.
Let's take a picture first. What's 1+1?
2!
What's wrong?
What are those things, Shinkurou?
Ah, they're guardian lion-dogs.
Lion-dogs?
Yeah.
I think it's supposed to be a dog.
Do you know anything?
Don't you like dogs?
I like cats.
Yayoi-san.
I've never had a pet before.
I'm not sure.
You don't know?
Ah, I got it!
It's that! You know, they're all over Okinawa.
Um, shi... shi... shikuwasa!
They say that if you put it in front of your house, bad things won't be able to get in!
Isn't that a Shisa?
Is it?
Shikuwasa is a fruit, the sour one.
Isn't Shisa a salad?
That's Caesar salad.
What's umibudou, then?
I see, they have scary faces, but they're actually good guys.
Isn't it when you get drunk from sea water?
Note: umibudou = sea grapes, but umi = sea and budou = wine.
Forget it.
Why are there two?
Siblings?
They're not Shisa, right?
How are you supposed to formally pray, again?
First, you put in your offering, ring the bell,
bow twice, and then clap twice.
You then put your hands together to pray and finish it off with another bow.
As expected from an old woman.
It's common sense.
All right, I did it.
You have to bow one more time at the end.
Ah, that's right.
Hey, hey!
It says this place is famous for improving your luck with money and gambling!
What?
Damn, I have to splurge on the offering in preparation for next year.
Come true! Please come true!
God is with me!
I got a slightly good fortune.
How unlucky.
I can't read it, Shinkurou. What's written on it?
Bad fortune?
What does that mean?
Is something wrong?
Ah, no...
It means that things aren't going well now, but lots of good things will happen later.
I see, so there'll be a lot of good things later.
Yep.
Oh yeah, let's buy a charm, Murasaki.
When a person keeps a charm by their side, it'll protect that person from evil.
Which one do you like?
I like that one.
That one?
The pink one.
You're sure you want this one?
Yeah.
Oh well.
Can I have this one, please?
Yes.
You're sure going all out.
It's a once in a lifetime celebration for Murasaki-chan, after all.
I borrowed it from a junior at my university.
I'm taking a picture now.
1+1 is?
2!
Ah, I closed my eyes!
What are you doing?
The timer is too long.
She's like a captured alien!
You're right.
Let's take a normal picture.
Sorry for the wait.
Who ordered beer?
Ah, right here!
The shikuwasa is over here.
Right.
So shikuwasa was a fruit.
Just like I said, right?
The guardian lion-dogs are relatives of the Shisa.
I'm not even sure anymore, so let's forget about that.
Anyway, let's have a toast.
Well then, to Murasaki's Shichi-Go-San and bright future, cheers!
Cheers!
This is good!
Drinking at places like this sometimes is nice.
It's good.
That shrine was great, too.
We could take our time.
Our luck with money went up, too.
It's unfortunate that they didn't sell chitose candy, though.
But Shinkurou bought this for me.
I can have peace of mind if I hold onto this while Shinkurou is away.
It's about time you came to me.
Forgive me.
Renjou, do you still have feelings for Souju or not?
None.
Murasaki is in a position where she must be hidden from society.
Furthermore, our affairs must not be leaked out somewhere.
If anything were to happen, it will not reach the public.
You need not worry on this matter.
You cannot be hesitant when taking out the stains in clothing.
Ryuuji.
I am handling it.
However,
I will be careful from now on and settle this so that no one outside may even suspect it.
Why?
I can see a small seam coming apart on you, father.
You're being rude, speaking to your father like that, Ryuuji.
It's not like you're in a stalemate or the clock has stopped after all this time, right?
I have found where she is.
I see.
However, there is no need to trouble yourself anymore, father.
Please prepare the Inner Sanctuary and wait.
You...
Murasaki is the last woman left to us.
I will treat her with the utmost care.
Bye, now.
Take care on your way home.
Where are you two going?
Shinjuku.
We didn't drink enough.
I'd come with you if I could drink beer.
You can once you're older.
I'll show you to a bunch of good shops then.
I'll count on you when the time comes, then.
Today was a good day.
Shichi-Go-San was fun.
That's great.
Oh yeah, there was something I wanted to ask you, Shinkurou.
What?
Do you like women with big breasts?
Tamaki-san again?
Yeah.
She said that men like women with breasts as big as cow udders.
I wonder about that.
My mother's breasts were big,
so I think I'll become like her some day.
It'll take a long time, though.
It's unfortunate, but I can't please you as I am now.
P-Please me?
It's frustrating.
I'm really frustrated that I'm a child.
I can't say much to you and I can't do much for you either.
You taught me a lot of things.
Like the bath house, the school, and the shrine.
You showed me a lot of things I didn't know about.
I want to grow up quickly for your sake.
I want to quickly become a mature woman that's befitting of you.
You're good enough.
You're good enough the way you are now.
The way I am now?
Yeah.
I like the way you are now.
I see.
I'll do what I can now, then.
I'll do it all properly.
Okay.
It's cold outside.
Let's go home quickly.
Okay.
So it is true that you can become accustomed to living anywhere.
I want to always be with you here, just like I am now.
Are you okay with this small room?
Yeah, I want to know about a lot of things.
Like stories from when you were young.
You don't need to know those.
Yuuno knows them, though.
Things that will happen from now on are enough.
Forget about the past.
Now is the most fun.
Really? You're happy with me here?
Yeah, I'm happy.
I see, you're happy!
Come on, I'm going to turn the lights off, so let's sleep.
Okay.
Good night.
Good morning, Shinkurou-san.
Good morning.
It's cold, isn't it?
Yeah, winter's here already.
Is Murasaki-chan doing well?
Yeah.
We went to a nearby shrine to celebrate Shichi-Go-San.
Is that so?
If you had told me, I could have helped her put her kimono on.
Tamaki-san did it, surprisingly.
That's shocking beyond belief.
She seems to have played with kimonos before.
So that's how it is?
What is it?
You don't need to know.
I can't believe it. That's a dangerous apartment.
Murakami Ginko
Kurenai
「Come. Ginko」
Is this real?
No doubt about it.
But...
There is no girl named Murasaki in the Kuhouin family.
Then whose child is Murasaki?
I don't know.
Juuzawa Benika may be lying,
or perhaps there's some huge conspiracy.
It's certain that she's a rich girl, though.
Like, her attitude towards life, and her manners.
I understand, but...
A small girl like her can't lie.
She may just not know it herself.
The Kuhouins are plutocratic world leaders.
They're a household that would probably do anything.
That can't be.
They're not a group you could possibly oppose.
They may even make it as if you've never existed.
By the way, the current head of the family is Kuhouin Renjou.
And that person has two male children.
Male?
I am Kuhouin Murasaki.
How about you ask Juuzawa Benika?
Shinkurou?
She isn't lying.
There must be some extenuating circumstances.
Something...
Ah, excuse me. Are you from this apartment?
Yes.
There's a small girl here, right?
There is one, isn't there? A seven year old girl.
Murasaki!
The Kuhouins?
You're certain?
I see, it was quicker than I imagined.
Please make a quick decision.
I'll be there soon.
Murasaki?!
Ah, welcome back, Shinkurou.
Murasaki...
What's wrong? Did you want to see me so much that you ran?
Shinkurou? What's wrong?
Murasaki, we can't stay here anymore.
What?
The Kuhouins found this place.
We can't stay here anymore.
No, am I going back home?
No, you don't want to go back, right?
I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back to the Kuhouins!
There is no girl named Murasaki in the Kuhouin family.
Kurenai-san.
Benika-sama is coming to pick you up.
I will be standing on guard out front.
