[piofiore no banshou] vol. 4: henri - track one

masterpost

                                                                                                                       ✿

[00:05] Oh, I’ll carry that.

You can leave the heavy lifting to me.

You can open that package instead.

I think we’ve finished unpacking now.

We only brought the essentials, so it wasn’t too bad at all, thankfully.

This is our new home.

The table.

The sofa.

The curtains.

And the bed.

I prepared the basics for us, but we can replace them if you find something you like.

It’s a bit smaller than your old room but I didn’t think a huge room would be any better.

You still seem worried whenever I’m not by your side.

That’s not it?

So… You just like being spoiled?

Don’t hide your face.

Look at me.

[01:18] You look good with your hair tied up too.

Of course, it looks just as good down.

You must be tired after such a long journey.

Even if we did stop at a hotel halfway, it doesn’t change the fact we took a longer route.

I’m sorry for pushing you so hard.

But… I’m glad we could leave some flowers for the children…

We haven’t seen them since I left everything with that person, after all.

Back then, my priority was protecting you.

I knew we couldn’t stay in that place for too long, so I even left the burial to someone else.

I know better than anyone that graves mean nothing to the dead, but…

I hoped it might bring them some salvation.

I pray they rest in peace.

Let’s go back one day.

We can’t go regularly.

But we should go again soon.

Oh, that’s right.

What should we do this afternoon?

There are still a few things we need to sort out but you can stay here and rest if you’re too tired…

Really?

Then let’s go out together.

We need things for the kitchen first.

We have a fridge but it’s empty right now.

Shopping is important but we’ve just arrived.

Shall we take a look around Bordeaux?

What do you think?

I’m glad you’re finally able to be open about how you feel.

You’re so cute.

Let’s have lunch first. We can find a cafe nearby.

Then we can look around the town for a bit.

We can buy the basics just before we come home.

Let’s buy the rest tomorrow and explore a bit more if we still have time after that.

Let’s go then!

                                                                                                                      ✿

[03:56] How was the food?

I’m glad it was to your taste.

The food here is quite different from where we just came from.

Lyon is famous for dishes made with tripe.

Its development was driven by the production of silk, so there are a lot of labourers living there.

So, they devised a way of making cheap ingredients taste delicious.

Bordeaux, on the other hand, flourished due to trade.

It’s also especially famous for its wine.

They use bordelaise sauce with meat and fish alike. It’s made with red wine.

It’s a lot more simple than other places we’ve lived.

Though, there is the famous Lamprey à la Bordelaise. 

I don’t think I’d like it very much.

I’ll try to find a restaurant that you’ll like.

When our affairs are a bit more in order, I want us to go on a long, relaxed date.

You always make cafe au lait at home. I’ve even started drinking it when we leave the house now.

You’re looking out for me, aren’t you? I know I don’t eat very much.

You think it’s better than me just drinking espresso, don’t you?

I know hot milk is better for the stomach but I just can’t bring myself to like it.

I’m sure you know that already, though.

Anyway, we’re in an entirely new city. Is there anything you’d like to know?

I’ll tell you anything I know.

Oh, that building you can see over there is the Grand Théâtre.

Bordeaux has been a seat of the government twice in the past.

During that time, it was used as the National Assembly for the French Parliament.

Let’s go to the Opera again soon.

I’m sure they’ll show one you enjoy soon.

Is there anything else?

[06:20] You want to know why I chose to move here?

Do you remember last year, we went to Bled in Slovenia during Christmas?

When I asked you where else you wanted to go, you gave a few options.

Bavaria in Germany.

The capital of music, Vienna.

And then, Bordeaux.

You said you wanted to see the Port of the Moon at night.

Obviously, I wanted to grant one of your wishes.

But this place is very convenient for me, too.

The population is large enough and the transportation system is rather varied.

There’s a railway and boats. 

We have options if something happens.

It’s also on the West coast of France, which is ideal.

I wanted to put some distance between us and Germany, considering the state of things there.

The church is still looking for you, even now.

I don’t think they’ll be able to find us easily, but apparently he put some rather troublesome traps in place before he died.

You don’t need to worry, we’re well hidden.

All this moving from city to city is just an extra precaution.

Until a while ago, I planned to allow karma to hit me with open arms.

I believed I deserved to be punished for my crimes.

If I really thought I’d one day be forgiven for what I did, I never would have plotted revenge.

But… I never planned to involve you. Any of you.

I thought I could protect you by locking you in that small house.

But it wasn’t enough.

That’s why I won’t ever let them be one step ahead of us again.

I don’t plan to hold back against anyone who tries to interrupt our life.

Obviously, it would be best if they never found us at all.

Don’t you think?

[09:01] Are you ready to go?

What do you want to see first?

Bordeaux Cathedral? It’s around 10 minutes from here.

We can see a few sights as we walk over.

                                                                                                                      ✿

[09:24] Bordeaux Cathedral, or the Primatial Cathedral of St Andrew, was built in the 11th century.

Well, the foundations were. They’ve been adding to it ever since.

You can see the spire from anywhere in the city.

You could even say it’s the building that best represents Bordeaux.

It was once used for the wedding of the King of France.

It’s also famous for the sculptures of the Biblical Day of Judgement.

There really are a lot of people.

Come here.

It’s a famous sightseeing spot. It can’t be helped.

Stay close to me.

I don’t want you to leave my side.

Okay?

Good. Let’s go inside, then.

I’m sure you’ll love the inside just as much as the outside.

[10:41] Isn’t it bright?

Most big, historical churches end up being quite gloomy inside.

But here… It looks like the entire inside is shining white.

I don’t believe in God, but I think you look beautiful in this Cathedral.

It reminds me of Burlone.

I remember once, you looked after me in the church, right after I’d been hit.

I was shocked; you said exactly the kind of thing my sister would have said.

Oh. I never really told you about what kind of a person my sister was, did I?

Let me think… 

Chloe was bright and sociable. She didn’t get shy around anyone.

When we were with the Falzone, she spent more time surrounded by adults than with me.

It was hard, at times.

But I never blamed her for it.

She was desperate to make a place for us in that mansion.

And now I know that love makes us do crazy things.

Where do you want to go after we finish exploring here?

Maybe we should go somewhere where we can see the entire city?

Ah, before that, you should pray while we’re here.

I’ll wait for you.

                                                                                                                      ✿

[12:54] I knew you’d like The Grosse Cloche.

Can you see the Garonne River from here? It’s shaped like a crescent moon.

It’s almost blinding in the evening sun.

I can see why they call it the Port of the Moon.

So, how is it? Do you think you’ll like it here?

I’m glad.

There is just one thing weighing on my mind.

Bordeaux is a university city.

I saw a lot of men today who are the same age as you.

I know it might sound childish but a lot of them were looking at you.

If I wasn’t here, they’d most definitely try to talk to you.

I’m a bit worried.

Your shoulder?

Oh, yes… I was holding you close to me all day.

Especially in front of the cathedral and when we were in crowds.

I barely even thought about it myself.

I mean… I can certainly think of a reason why.

You said it before yourself, didn’t you?

I need to practise touching you.

It was probably because of that.

Now, I can’t relax if I’m not touching you.

It’s that time already?

I did plan on eating out tonight but maybe we should relax at home instead.

We should buy a bottle of wine and toast to our new lives.

That’s the dishes finished.

Ah, I’ll vacuum the floor too!

You finally got a day off.

You should sit down and relax with some TV.

Ah! I’ll hang the laundry out to dry as well.

Come on, take it easy.

Hm?

I’ll make lunch!

What do you want to eat?

I’ll make anything you want.

What’s wrong?

You look upset.

You’re not happy that I’m doing all the chores?

Hmm...

Recently, you’ve been really tired after work.

I want you to at least be able to relax at home.

You still don’t look pleased.

But you look cute when you’re upset too.\

Hm?

Are you worried about me?

I don’t mind at all!

If anything, I’m having fun.

I do like doing chores, but it isn’t just that.

There’s nothing I enjoy doing more than helping you.

You eat the food that I make.

You relax in the room that I cleaned.

Stuff like that makes me so happy.

Hm? You want to do something for me too?

Thank you.

You say that I’m always helping you and you never do anything.

But that’s not true.

You teach me so much.

That’s right!

Let’s do the housework together today!

We’ll finish it faster if we work together.

And it’ll be much more fun than working alone.

It’s settled then.

And let’s have tea together when we’re finished.

I made your favourite, ice cream.

You can’t wait?

Let’s do our best and get these chores done!

Hello.

You’re home late.

You weren’t working too hard again, were you?

I love how dedicated you are, but I don’t want that dedication to make you sick. 

There’s only one of you.

You’re not like an android; there’s nothing on earth that can replace you.

I ran a bath for you.

Sleep as soon as you’re done.

And no watching TV!

You have to be up early tomorrow too. 

Come on.

Go get a bath!

Hm?

You didn’t go to bed?

You’re watching TV?

You shouldn’t!

You need to sleep.

You don’t care about the TV?

Are you hungry, then?

I’ll make you some hot milk--

Hm?

Not that either?

Then what?

You want me to listen to you?

Oh, you’re right.

I’ve been talking constantly since you came home.

I’m sorry.

I forget myself when I’m worried about you.

When I saw how tired you were, I just couldn’t stop myself.

I was being annoying, wasn’t I?

It made you happy?

Really?

But I’m a terrible brother for not listening to you.

What’s wrong?

What did you want to talk about?

I don’t mind if you’re spending time with me.

But aren’t you tired?

Did you just... want me to pay attention to you?

I see!

I’m sorry for not realising.

Come here.

Put your head on my lap.

Yes, just like that.

Now I’ll be here when you wake up.

You can’t sleep because it’s too bright?

Then... I’ll cover your eyes with my hand.

Now it’s pitch black, right?

I won’t leave your side.

So don’t worry. And sleep well.

You really are spoilt rotten.

But I love you regardless.

Good morning.

I'm making your favourite: rolled omelette.

Hmm? Ahh...

You were sleeping so soundly I felt too bad to wake you up.

You look like you haven't been getting enough sleep lately.

But not sleeping is bad for your skin... and your overall health too.

I'm so worried that you might collapse from lack of sleep.

I understand...

I'll wake you up properly next time.

...But.

I really don't like forcing you to wake up...

That's right!

I should just wake you up with a kiss!

I'm not allowed...?

Then I'll think of a good way to wake you up!

You're going to eat before you go, right?

It's almost ready.

Huh?

You're going to be late, so you don't need any?

At least have a bite or you won't have any energy today.

Ah, you forgot your lunch!

Here, I made you a sandwich today.

Don't be fussy and eat it all.

Wait a second!

Nothing good will come of panicking.

Let's take a second to calm down.

I know, let's do some deep breathing.

How do you feel?

Calmer?

If you rush out in this state, you might fall and hurt yourself.

Good.

And a good luck charm for you.

I hope you have a good day today.

Apparently, a kiss on the forehead attracts happiness.

See you later!

Take care!

Come straight home tonight, okay?

Do you want anything else?

If you want ice cream or an energy drink, I'll get them for you. 

Really?

Don't hesitate to let me know if you want anything, okay?

I probably need to get you some more ice. 

I'll be right back so just wait a moment. 

What's wrong?

Why did you grab my sleeve like that?

You want me to stay with you?

Okay.

It's alright.

I'll never leave your side.

Colds: An illness caused by viral infection. Those afflicted may display symptoms such as coughing, fevers and headaches. The most common method of treatment is cold medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is a popular treatment in the East.

That's almost all the data about colds I've been programmed with. 

But... It was almost completely useless.

I can't believe I let you catch a cold.

I'm a failure of an older brother. 

I'm sorry for making you suffer. 

"It's not your fault, brother"?

Thank you.

You're so kind. 

...Ah!

That's the first time you've called me brother!

You did!

Go on, say it again.

Call me your brother.

Thank you.

Now I feel like I'm your real brother!

Ah, I'm sorry for being so loud.

You can't sleep if I'm like this.

I'll cast a spell so that you have good dreams. 

Now then.

Close your eyes.

I won't leave your side at all today.

So you can sleep in peace.

Welcome home.

Dinner's ready.

I made borscht. You wanted to try it, right?

You said that while we were watching TV yesterday.

That you wanted to try it.

You're welcome.

It's hot, so be careful.

Oh, that's right.

I'll cool it down before I feed it to you.

Right!

Now it's the right temperature.

Come on, say "ahhh".

I'm not treating you like a child.

I was just worried about you burning yourself on food I made.

Then...

Can I watch you eat?

Thank you.

Now then, eat up.

　　　　　　　　　　　             　　　　 　　✿

[01:22] You ate it all.

How did it taste?

I'm glad.

Let me know if there's ever anything you want to eat.

I'll make it for you.

By the way, it's been 2 weeks since I became your brother.

Have you started to think of me that way yet, even just a little?

I see!

Maybe you'll even call me big brother soon. Who knows?

But...

There are still a lot of things I don't know about you.

Will you let your big brother ask you some questions?

Thank you!

Right...

First, what were you like when you were young?

Haha!

I see!

I can't imagine that at all.

Okay, next...

Hm?

You look like you can barely keep your eyes open.

Are you... tired?

You're okay?

You can sleep if you want to.

We can talk tomorrow, you know?

Okay.

Next question.

What was your dream when you were a child?

I see! Haha.

I wish I could have met you when you were younger.

I bet you were so cute.

You're still cute now, of course.

Huh?

Did you fall asleep?

You really were tired.

You can't sleep here; you'll catch a cold.

I'll carry you to your room.

[03:50] You look like an angel when you're sleeping.

You're so cute...

But... why did you lie about being tired?

Ah, I'm sorry.

Did I wake you up?

Hm?

I was just carrying you to bed.

It would have been awful if I'd left you there to catch a cold.

There's no need to be embarrassed!

You say you can walk there by yourself, but I don't believe you!

I learnt the hard way that you're not actually okay when you say you are!

So I'm not going to put you down until we reach your bed.

Why did you like about being okay when you were this tired?

You don't need to apologise.

I'm not worried.

I just don't understand.

You should have just said you were tired if you were tired.

It's because you were happy?

What do you mean?

You were happy that I wanted to know more about you?

I see!

I'm still underdeveloped so I don't know much about happiness.

But... I know being happy is a good thing.

I mean, look at that beautiful smile of yours!

Seeing you smile like that makes me want to smile too.

Is that happiness?

When you're happy, I feel happy too!

What's wrong?

Your face is red.

Do you have a fever?

Shall I measure it for you?

You don't?

Then show me your face.

Don't be embarrassed!

You need to show me all of you.

I want to know everything about you.

I'm your big brother, after all..

Your favourite TV show starts in 58 seconds.

Come here!

Watch it with me.

You can't see the screen properly if you sit all the way over there, can you?

Sit closer to me.

Yes, like that.

Oh, it's starting.

The last episode ended when the man told the protagonist that he loves her.

What exactly does "I love you" mean?

It's a special phrase to use with someone who is important to you?

Hmmm. I see.

Then I'll try and use it too!

I love you, my adorable sister.

Why are you so shocked?

When he said it in the drama, he put his lips against her cheek.

You can do that to your sibling?

Oh? Really?

Oh, look!

This time, his putting his lips against her lips--

Ah!

Why did you turn of the TV?

I'm not allowed to watch dramas like this?

I don't really get it, but if you say I'm not allowed, then I won't.

But you're still calling me Ryu...

I want you to call me "big brother".

Why's it embarrassing?

I'm your brother, so it's normal for you to call me that!

Or is it because you can't imagine an android being your brother...

No? I'm glad.

I saw in another drama that it's normal for siblings to hug.

I love you, huh?

Thank you for teaching me such a lovely phrase.

Program Data: No Irregularities Found.

Nice to meet you, little sister.

Thank you for booting me up.

Tell me your name.

Understood.

I input your data.

Humans shake hands with people when they meet them for the first time.

We should shake hands too.

I'm Ryuu.

It hurts?

I'm holding your hand too tightly?

I'm sorry.

I still don't know how to control my strength.

I'll decrease my handshake level by 2 next time we do it.

By the way, did you read my instruction manual?

You didn't?

Then I'll explain it to you briefly now.

I'm a Brother type android, developed by the BB company.

Brother types are special because they act as their owner's siblings.

We're quite different from other androids; we have the latest intelligence software, and we are equipped with feelings.

However, I am still a prototype.

The feelings program is still full of errors.

Next, about my personal data.

I work as a culinary teacher.

I am programmed to be especially good at cooking, cleaning, laundry and all other housework.

You can leave all the chores to me from now on.

That is all for my instructions.

By the way, where is your instruction manual?

I will read it now.

Humans don't come with instruction manuals?

Then I have no choice but to learn everything by myself.

Data: ___cm. 

I am recording your data.

By hugging you, I can learn your measurements and your height. 

Your face is bright red.

Pulse.

Your pulse has risen.

Are you... angry?

Am I not allowed to measure you?

Understood.

But, as your brother, I need your data.

So that I know what to do if anything happens to you.

I won't do it without your permission next time, so please tell me about yourself.

My sister is a good girl.

And she's very cute.

That's some good date about you.

I'll record it.

I look forward to living with you.

My cute little sister.

[00:20] I can’t believe it’s already been a week.

We barely even got to enjoy the festival in the end.

It’s fine, I guess. We always have next year.

Oh, did you hear?

Those two are going on a trip soon!

To Nanagasumi Springs, I think.

They use well water there, which apparently brings good luck or something.

Either way, I’m just glad they’re getting on well.

Yeah.

They’re finally together, after all.

[01:02] The mask that can never be removed.

Eventually, a second part was added to the story.

Nobody tried to even go near the man who became one with the mask.

However, one day, a young girl appeared before this lonely man.

They fell in love and lived happily ever after.

[01:31] It’s true, after all.

They both looked pretty happy.

I think horror stories like this are a good thing.

Oh, that’s right!

That mask lives at her house now.

She asked the shrine and they said they only needed it during the festival.

That priest is so understanding it’s almost suspicious.

Well, it’s none of our business.

Decades, huh?

That’s a long time for a human. 

The fact a love like that finally ended in a relationship just proves how strong love is.

We’ve going to grow old together too…

Huh?

Well, I guess in terms of appearance, you’ll definitely look older.

But don’t worry.

I don’t plan on letting you go, even when you’re an old woman.

Shut up.

I know it’s not like me.

But…

Let me say things like this sometimes.

No matter how many years or decades pass, my feelings won’t change.

I’ll still love you in 100 years.

I’ll spend my whole life telling you that.

I only have one bride.

I only have you.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　✿

[03:44] Ah, come on.

What are you stretching like that for?

You might fall.

I’d have gotten it for you if you just called for me.

Come on.

Here.

Hold it properly.

Huh? I’ve seen that before somewhere?

Wait… Is that from ages ago…?

I got that at the festival for you, right?

You still had it.

No, there’s nothing wrong with that.

We have some pretty good memories of that time.

And, if anything… I’m happy you did.

Why are you laughing?!

I'm not embarrassed!

More importantly, what shall we do for dinner?

We might as well get something at one of the festival stalls, right?

Yes, of course! 

Watch your step!

You need to be careful in your old age. 

Oh, right!

Pass me that hair ornament.

I'll put it on for you.

Well, anyone looks good when they're wearing fancy clothes, I guess.

No, don't take it off!

I never said it didn't suit you!

No matter how old you get, it looks good on you.

You're coming out with that on. 

Your hand. 

Now then, let's enjoy this festival as a couple - without interruptions!

My lovely wife. 

[risukadarlin]

6; though the fireworks may be over...

                                                                      ✿

[00:04] We’re too far out to be able to hear the festival music here.

It’s almost sunset.

Oi, Mask Bastard.

You can float, can’t you?

Can you just move or something?!

No good.

He hasn’t responded at all since then.

Yep, we’re being completely ignored.

He’s just like any other fox mask when he’s this still.

Did you know…?

Usually, the leader of the parade wears a Tengu mask.

But that shrine is watched over by a Fox God, apparently.

That’s why the mask is a fox one.

I once had to help the Snake God from here with something.

If that’s why the legends here are about a Fox then…

Well, it’s not nothing to do with me at all.

If it is something to do with me, then maybe I was meant to meet this guy.

And maybe we’re the only people who can help him.

Hey, you know…

This is just an example, but…

If I’d pretended to be a human to get close to you and then told you years later than I was a yokai, would you be hurt?

You’re right.

It would hurt.

You’d be like “I can’t believe I spent all that time with a monster like that.”

What do you mean “that’s not it”?

That?!

You’d be shocked I kept it from you?

Not because I’m a spirit?

“You could have just said so sooner.”? Seriously?

Hah.

You don’t think it matters if I’m a human or a spirit.

It hurts more than the person you love hid something from you, huh?

What is this, a lovers’ quarrel?

God, I’m an idiot for taking it seriously.

I got swept along by that stupid mask and started doing things I wouldn’t usually do.

You’re right.

If they were even slightly attracted to each other, it wouldn’t matter what species he was.

And that old woman was waiting for him for decades.

There’s no way she’ll reject him that easily.

She waited every year, knowing he wouldn’t come.

“He’ll never come.”

“He didn’t come last year or the year before.”

“He’ll never show up again.”

“But… Maybe…”

She must have been at least a bit hopeful.

Some part of her was waiting for this.

Then…

We can’t just let it end now.

Oi.

I’m gonna head out for a bit.

To granny’s!

With this guy on my face.

Foxes are experts at tricking people.

I’ll pretend to be this bastard and invite her out tonight.

The fireworks haven’t started yet, have they?

If we miss this chance, we have to wait until next year.

Not to jinx it but we don’t know how long granny has left on earth.

Or how long this Mask Bastard will stick around for.

We have to do it this year.

It’s important to be with the people you love while you still can.

If you have something to say, you should say it.

Or you’ll regret it.

And who would want that…

This Fox God is gonna help tell their love story!

                                                                     ✿

[04:18] Yo!

I mean… Hey.

Stay in bed. Don’t push yourself too hard.

I’m sorry about last night.

I scared you, didn’t I?

But I wanted to meet you.

I had to tell you something.

I want to see the fireworks with you again.

Even if I am a yokai, if you’d… possibly… meet me one more time…

I have a request.

Tonight, there are going to be fireworks again when the festival ends.

I’ll be waiting in our usual place…

                                                                     ✿

[05:22] God, I keep having to do such annoying jobs.

Oh, thank you.

Phew, that’s refreshing.

Do you think she’ll come?

I mean grandma.

I’m the one who set it up but…

I wanted to hear your opinion.

Do you think she’ll come or not?

Why are you so convinced she will?

Ha! I see.

That is very convincing.

You definitely would.

My wife really does have nerves of steel.

“Who doesn’t want to meet the one they love”, huh?

Huh?

Are you that tired?

I can tell just by looking at you.

Well, a lot has happened these past few days.

We have to go out again tonight.

You should nap while you can.

It’s fine.

Hurry up and sleep.

I’ll wake you up.

Oh, wow, that was instant.

You really must have been pushing yourself.

Oi, Mask Bastard, I know you’re awake.

You can borrow my body again so hurry up and say something.

You were blessed with a lovely wife, it seems.

Yes, luckily.

Not that she knows it.

She probably has no clue how much her words have done for us.

It really is different hearing it from a human.

“No matter what happened, I’d go to meet you.”

What a silly woman…

You…

It’s things like that…

…that make me helplessly in love with you.

Tonight.

At our usual place, right?

Yes.

I won’t let you skip out, okay?

I know.

I’ll go.

Perfect.

The fireworks start soon, huh…?

                                                                     ✿

[08:43] That was the last one.

The fireworks are over…

That’s the end of this year’s festival.

She didn’t come…

I guess it makes sense…

Let’s go back. 

We should take that bastard with us.

We shouldn’t leave him alone right now.

What’s the point in holding out?

It’s way past the meeting time.

It’ll just hurt mo…

Someone’s coming.

Ah!

Please don’t apologise.

You came.

You’re beautiful, even after all this time.

But… I see…

Humans get slower as they age.

I should have changed the meeting place.

I see.

You’re right.

We need to meet here.

The Festival is over but…

If you want…

Shall we go together, miss?

God.

I got all nervous for no reason.

Yeah.

It’s a good thing we did get involved.

I thought I didn’t care about helping people, but…

It’s not that bad after all.

Let’s give them one last hurrah.

It’s just my magic.

They’re not real fireworks.

But… It brings up the atmosphere, doesn’t it?

A nice celebration of two lovers coming together.

Now I think about it, he said something like…

The fireworks looked beautiful reflected in her eyes.

I thought he was being silly but…

I can’t disagree.

Are you really that stupid?

Fine, you don’t need to understand.

As long as I know, I’m happy.

We should come to the festival every year from now on.

To make more memories.

[yuugen romantica] saikouchou vol. 7: zakuro - track five

5; i remember that day well

masterpost

                                                                       ✿

[00:04] It must be fate.

Seeing her in the middle of the crowd like that…

We’re meant for each other!

Is that really the only thing you have to say to us right now?

Who do you think covered for you when the line stopped?!

Whatever…

More importantly…

That old lady you were looking at…

Is she the woman you used to meet up with every year?

That’s right!

It has to be!

I knew it was her the second I saw her!

The colour of her soul was as soft as ever!

She was just as beautiful as back then.

I thought so…

Are you serious?

How did you…?

Yeah, that old woman’s in love with this guy.

I wish it’d just been a coincidence…

She met up with him for all those years, not even knowing he was a ghost.

And then she fell in love with him.

So in love that she waited for him for decades…

Even this year…

She really was waiting for me?

She’ll be in our usual spot!

I have to hurry…!

Stop it.

Leave her alone.

Why?

She’s waiting for me now, right?

In the same place we always promised to meet.

I just know she’ll be happy to see me!

God, you…!

Don’t you get it?

She’s a human!

Decades have passed and now she’s an old woman.

Even if she does somehow believe that it’s actually you, what’d ya think she’ll feel when she sees you haven’t aged a day?!

You’ll scare her and that’ll be the end of it.

And she’ll realise you’re not a human!

I don’t care!

I’ll even tell her that I’m a yokai!

Tell her?!

Do you not know how she’ll react?!

Most humans would be terrified.

That’s just what being a yokai is!

Of course they’re scared of us!

If we tell them what we really are, we’ll never see them again!

It’s okay!

I know she’ll accept me as I am.

There’s no way you know that for certain!

But it’s fine.

That’s just how much I love her.

Huh?!

Are you fucking crazy?

I’m completely sane.

And I’m serious about her.

I’m seriously in love with her.

I told you this before but I can only leave the box during festivals.

So, during those festival nights, I’d transform into a human and walk around the city, messing with the people I walked by as I went.

But one night, I met her…

She was so cute.

I couldn’t look away.

I almost forgot how to breathe.

All she did was look in my direction and I could feel my chest grow tight.

Until then, the only fun I had in life was tricking humans…

But I didn’t want to do anything to scare her.

So I just called out to her and asked…

“Shall we go to the festival together?”

After that, it became a custom for us to meet every year.

We didn’t go with anyone else and I never told her I was a yokai…

Her face under the light of the fireworks was so soft and lovely…

I really love her.

Even if I’m a ghost and she’s a human…

That shouldn’t be reason enough to stop me!

After all, Mr. Fox…

If that’s what you believe, then why do you have a lover by your side?

Th-that’s…

Fine.

Then go for it.

It’s got nothing to do with me.

Okay.

I’ll be right back.

Ah, miss.

Thank you for worrying about me too.

Stupid bastard…

It’s fine, leave him to it.

Whatever happens to him has nothing to do with us.

I know how it’s gonna end, after all.

I’m worried about granny too but we shouldn’t stick our noses in.

You noticed too, didn’t you?

She comes to this festival every year.

But she wasn’t seriously waiting for him.

I think she knew he wouldn’t ever come.

If he was just as old or older than here, there’d be a possibility he wasn’t alive anymore.

And if he was, there’d be no reason for him to come if he hadn’t been for decades.

She knows there’s no reason for him to turn up…

She went there to relive her memories of that time.

What do you think will actually happen if he turns up after all that time, looking exactly the same?

The second she realises he’s a monster… Those memories are going to be tainted.

We can’t stop that, even if we’re there.

What?!

You’re always so…

We don’t have to get involved…

Why are you so bothered about the happiness of people we don’t know?

Or is it that? “No meeting is a chance one”?

They’re not just random people to you?

God. Why were we destined to meet such annoying people?!

But…

I guess you’re right.

I can’t say that Fox Mask has nothing to do with us.

Oi.

You’re making kitsune udon for the rest of the week for this, okay?

Then I’ll make an exception.

Let’s go check on them.

If it looks bad, we can stop them.

That’s okay with you, right?

                                                                      ✿

[07:01] Is this it?

This is right outside the shrine grounds.

Is granny really going to be around here?

Exactly what time does he think it is…?

AH! Seriously?

She’s right there.

She really was waiting here the whole time.

For decades.

Every single year.

Even when she knew he wasn’t coming anymore…

He’s here!

Oi, let’s hide better.

It’s been so long, I got lost!

You were waiting for me here.

Look how shocked she is!

I get why.

She must have given up thinking he’d actually come…

And look at him…

There’s no way she believes him.

Don’t be afraid!

It’s really me.

My body’s different but…

This mask. 

You remember it, don’t you?

I remember all the time we spent together.

We spent every year watching the fireworks from here.

I won’t ever grow old.

I’m a yokai, after all.

He said that like it was nothing.

Who would believe something like that?

It’s not like he even proved yokai actually exis—...

Is he seriously going to—?!

You don’t believe me?

Ah, this is a different spirit’s body but…

Maybe this’ll prove to you we really exist.

Idiot! Stop it!

Do you believe me now?

That bastard!

He returned to my spirit form!

Doesn’t he get it?

Does he not realise how scared of Fox Gods humans are?!

Fox Gods really make it obvious.

Look at how many tails I have.

So?

Do you believe me now?

Do you believe that I’m not human?

Eh?

What’s wrong?

Why are you sitting down?

Tsk.

Come on.

We’re going.

Did all that standing make you tired?

Then let’s go somewhere to– AH!

You absolute moron!

Do you seriously not understand what’s going on?!

Huh?

What do you mean?

You don’t?!

Look at her face!

Face?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Are you scared?

Of me?

Why?

Oi, look after her.

Take her back to her house if you can.

I’ll take this one home.

Yeah, I’m leaving her to you.

Come on, we’re going.

Why…?

                                                                      ✿

[10:26] Really?

She won’t leave her bed?

Well, I guess we should just be happy she didn’t injure herself when she fell over.

Thanks for that.

Sorry for leaving her to you.

Ah, him?

Just take a look.

He’s been acting like a corpse since we got back.

I get why, though…

Granny went pale with shock…

The fear in her eyes…

Imagine the person you love looking at you like that…

Oi!

Mask Bastard!

Hurry up and say something.

Oi!

The fireworks… were beautiful.

Huh?

Every year, during festival nights, flowers would bloom in the sky.

But I never thought anything of it.

I thought seeing the shock on human’s faces was much more interesting.

I’m a yokai, after all.

It’s in my nature to find it funny to scare humans.

That’s just who I am.

I didn’t even know there were other ways to live.

And yet… That changed when I met her.

I remember the night we first watched the fireworks together.

I’d never seen anything as beautiful as that before.

The colours in the sky lit her up and her eyes were shining with joy…

Seeing the fireworks reflected in those eyes was beautiful.

I was enchanted.

I couldn’t look away.

I can only leave that box for a few days every year.

But I was happy even when I was asleep.

Because…

I knew when I left the box, she’d be waiting for me.

Knowing that made a year feel like a moment.

She was everything to me.

But…

I… didn’t know anything at all.

I believed she’d accept me as I was.

But I was wrong…

Because I’m a yokai…

And she’s a human…

Ah! Oi!

That scared the shit out of me.

He’s just gone to sleep.

Oi, clone.

Can you move?

Yep, I can.

That was really something.

Anyway, let’s go back to normal.

Ahh, I finally feel less sluggish.

But…

He really did seem down…

I knew it would happen but…

That was hard to watch.
