Byakuya : The day you'll retire from Tenjin-ya has been decided. |
(0:00:04.09) |
Byakuya : It will be the day of our fall festival. |
(0:00:08.00) |
Kasuga : Understood. |
(0:00:11.24) |
Byakuya : You're even more shrewd than you are sensible, |
(0:00:14.14) |
Byakuya : so I personally feel you're well suited to be a Hachiyo's wife. |
(0:00:17.80) |
Byakuya : But the position comes with many enemies, so be prepared. |
(0:00:21.63) |
Kasuga : I know. I've seen what Aoi-chan goes through. |
(0:00:26.69) |
Kasuga : I'll pretend to be incompetent so that I can avoid making enemies. |
(0:00:31.26) |
Byakuya : Incompetent, eh? |
(0:00:36.36) |
Kasuga : I've been incompetent from the start anyway. |
(0:00:38.60) |
Kasuga : What're you doing, O-Ryo-sama? |
(0:02:24.21) |
Oryo : What do you want? |
(0:02:31.60) |
Kasuga : You know, I think you should aim to be the assistant hostess again. |
(0:02:33.24) |
Oryo : Excuse me? |
(0:02:39.08) |
Kasuga : I'm sure there are things that only you can do here at Tenjin-ya. |
(0:02:40.97) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I see, after the fall festival... |
(0:02:58.13) |
Kasuga : I was told that a literary tanuki air ship |
(0:03:01.76) |
Kasuga : will come get me at the end of the workday. |
(0:03:03.48) |
Aoi Tsubaki : You're going back to the northwestern land? |
(0:03:06.65) |
Kasuga : Yeah. Apparently they're gonna make the wedding preparations impressive |
(0:03:08.83) |
Kasuga : so that those in the northern land won't take us lightly. |
(0:03:11.84) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I'm going to miss you. |
(0:03:15.40) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I heard that O-Ryo looked after you when you started working here. |
(0:03:18.14) |
Kasuga : Yeah! O-Ryo-sama hasn't changed a bit since we first met. |
(0:03:22.69) |
Oryo : So, you're the newbie? |
(0:03:29.15) |
Oryo : You're such a teeny, tiny, short little tanuki girl. |
(0:03:31.86) |
Oryo : I'll drill the room attendant duties into your head, don't worry. |
(0:03:36.63) |
Oryo : I'm the future assistant hostess here, after all. |
(0:03:40.74) |
Aoi Tsubaki : That's just like her. |
(0:03:46.75) |
Kasuga : She was a competitive woman who did as she pleased. |
(0:03:48.95) |
Kasuga : She had such strong "upstart" spirit, |
(0:03:51.30) |
Kasuga : she'd do anything to win the assistant hostess position. |
(0:03:53.48) |
Kasuga : She was dazzling. I liked and admired her so much, you know? |
(0:03:58.84) |
Kasuga : I think she can become the assistant hostess again. |
(0:04:05.37) |
Kasuga : To be honest, I wanted to stay by her side and help her do it. |
(0:04:10.98) |
Kasuga : Nah, forget that. |
(0:04:18.42) |
Kasuga : I'll work hard at Moonflower until my last day. |
(0:04:20.25) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Thank you. I'm counting on you. |
(0:04:25.58) |
Chibi (Kappa) : Munch, munch, munch, munch... |
(0:04:41.73) |
Kasuga : You bow like this. |
(0:04:56.61) |
Ginji : Kasuga-san really is a hard worker, isn't she? |
(0:04:57.59) |
Ai : Like this? |
(0:04:58.59) |
Kasuga : Yep, yep. That's good. Bow down slowly. |
(0:04:59.47) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Yes. Not only does she do the Moonflower work, |
(0:05:00.49) |
Ai : Okay. |
(0:05:02.98) |
Aoi Tsubaki : she also teaches Ai-chan how to interact with customers |
(0:05:02.98) |
Kasuga : And get up slowly. |
(0:05:04.38) |
Ai : Got it. |
(0:05:05.58) |
Aoi Tsubaki : and plays with Chibi. |
(0:05:06.33) |
Kasuga : Good, good. Then let's try it again. |
(0:05:07.12) |
Aoi Tsubaki : She's a big help. |
(0:05:08.33) |
Ai : Okay! |
(0:05:09.55) |
Ginji : Losing her is a real blow for Tenjin-ya. |
(0:05:10.58) |
Kasuga : Thank you very much. |
(0:05:11.12) |
Ai : Thank you very much. |
(0:05:12.38) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Yes. |
(0:05:14.34) |
Kasuga : Please come back again. |
(0:05:14.34) |
Ginji : Please hang this up outside Moonflower tomorrow. |
(0:05:18.01) |
Aoi Tsubaki : What a cute face. |
(0:05:22.64) |
Aoi Tsubaki : So this will guide customers here? |
(0:05:24.97) |
Ginji : Right. |
(0:05:28.48) |
Ginji : We'll distribute this map at the front desk. |
(0:05:30.23) |
Ginji : The rest areas are marked with jack-o'-lanterns, |
(0:05:32.85) |
Ginji : and they can visit each one to get treats. |
(0:05:35.19) |
Aoi Tsubaki : The hidden realm version of Halloween? Sounds nice! |
(0:05:37.55) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I decided to give out Inferno Buns. |
(0:05:41.11) |
Ginji : That'll be a good advertisement for our new souvenir. |
(0:05:44.09) |
Ginji : Good luck tomorrow, then. |
(0:05:47.30) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Thank you! |
(0:05:49.41) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Let's make Tenjin-ya's fall festival great! |
(0:05:57.09) |
Kasuga : Hey, being the teahouse poster girl is a good gig too, right? |
(0:06:46.09) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Kasuga... |
(0:06:50.54) |
Aoi Tsubaki : A bracelet? |
(0:07:00.48) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Let's look for it together. |
(0:07:06.91) |
Kasuga : A lost item? |
(0:07:17.63) |
Aoi Tsubaki : A silver bracelet, she says. |
(0:07:19.52) |
Kasuga : Aoi-chan, the lost and found may have it. |
(0:07:21.51) |
Kasuga : I'll take you there. |
(0:07:28.52) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I wonder if they found the bracelet. |
(0:07:47.30) |
Ginji : Hello, Aoi-san. |
(0:07:51.22) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Hi, Ginji-san! |
(0:07:54.25) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Your fall festival plan was a big success, huh? |
(0:07:56.81) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Everyone seems to be having a blast. |
(0:08:00.36) |
Ginji : The best part will begin after the sun sets. |
(0:08:02.27) |
Ginji : The light of the lanterns will help the Halloween mood. |
(0:08:04.96) |
Ginji : And at the end, we'll release them into the sky! |
(0:08:08.72) |
Aoi Tsubaki : That's wonderful! |
(0:08:13.31) |
Ginji : By the way, Aoi-san, there's a nice pumpkin smell in here. |
(0:08:16.54) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I'm making pumpkin potage right now. |
(0:08:20.52) |
Ginji : Wow, that'll be delicious! |
(0:08:25.40) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Here's pumpkin potage and a tuna salad sandwich. |
(0:08:29.30) |
Ginji : Thank you! |
(0:08:35.19) |
Ginji : This is delicious! It's just what I needed. |
(0:08:41.19) |
Ginji : I'm feeling energized for the rest of my work tonight. |
(0:08:44.98) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Glad to hear that. |
(0:08:47.97) |
Ginji : Thank you very much! |
(0:08:50.35) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Oh, by the way, one of the pumpkins I used for the potage |
(0:08:52.59) |
Aoi Tsubaki : was grown by the master innkeeper. |
(0:08:56.18) |
Ginji : Is that right? |
(0:08:59.15) |
Aoi Tsubaki : To tell you the truth, |
(0:09:01.34) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I made it to help the master learn to like pumpkin. |
(0:09:03.19) |
Aoi Tsubaki : He promised to come eat here after business hours are over. |
(0:09:07.97) |
Ginji : I see. |
(0:09:13.00) |
Ginji : I'm sure he'll like this potage. |
(0:09:15.52) |
Ginji : Kasuga-san! |
(0:09:36.85) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Kasuga! What the heck are you doing there?! |
(0:09:43.58) |
Kasuga : A crow took it! |
(0:09:46.86) |
Kasuga : I found a crow holding that guest's bracelet in its mouth. |
(0:09:49.40) |
Aoi Tsubaki : A crow? |
(0:09:53.36) |
Aoi Tsubaki : It's the same one! |
(0:09:57.38) |
Kasuga : I'm gonna take it back right now! |
(0:10:05.71) |
Kasuga : Please be quiet, would you? |
(0:10:18.14) |
Ginji : I'll go help her! |
(0:10:30.61) |
Oryo : Stand down. |
(0:10:33.86) |
Aoi Tsubaki : She must've grabbed his third tail from the right, which is his weak point. |
(0:10:38.95) |
Oryo : You should stay out of this, Young Master. |
(0:10:45.15) |
Oryo : This is a task Kasuga needs to carry out. |
(0:10:49.23) |
Aoi Tsubaki : B-But O-Ryo! |
(0:10:52.46) |
Oryo : Aoi, you be quiet and watch, too. |
(0:10:54.60) |
Oryo : Kasuga! |
(0:11:00.43) |
Kasuga : O-Ryo-sama! |
(0:11:02.01) |
Oryo : That's one of our guest's precious belongings! |
(0:11:03.60) |
Oryo : Don't let that crow get away! |
(0:11:06.23) |
Aoi Tsubaki : O-Ryo... |
(0:11:18.18) |
Kasuga : Ouch! Ow! Ow! |
(0:11:21.20) |
Aoi Tsubaki : What? An Inferno Bun? |
(0:11:26.46) |
Kasuga : Here's an Inferno Bun! It's yummy. |
(0:11:30.33) |
Kasuga : Here you go! |
(0:11:35.17) |
Kasuga : Wait! |
(0:11:42.22) |
Oryo : Well done! |
(0:11:53.86) |
Oryo : Are you cold? |
(0:12:03.39) |
Oryo : If you can't bear this level of cold, a tiny tanuki like you |
(0:12:06.61) |
Oryo : will be frozen right away in the bitter-cold northern land. |
(0:12:11.77) |
Oryo : A teeny, tiny, short, and cute tanuki like you... |
(0:12:17.21) |
Oryo : It's a land of intense cold. |
(0:12:26.50) |
Oryo : A tanuki all alone and shivering would be so pitiful, |
(0:12:28.87) |
Oryo : I couldn't bear to watch. |
(0:12:31.82) |
Aoi Tsubaki : O-Ryo knows the northern land so well. |
(0:12:34.87) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Is that why she opposed Kasuga's marriage? |
(0:12:39.17) |
Oryo : You're still so teeny and tiny and little... |
(0:12:42.21) |
Oryo : But you've grown so much, I'm sure you'll be fine. |
(0:12:47.80) |
Kasuga : O-Ryo-sama! |
(0:12:58.50) |
Oryo : Go on, hurry up and return the bracelet to our guest. |
(0:13:11.98) |
Kasuga : Yes, ma'am! |
(0:13:16.66) |
Oryo : After that, come to the banquet hall I'm in charge of. |
(0:13:18.36) |
Oryo : I'll work you hard until the very last minute. |
(0:13:22.42) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Hey, Kasuga is helping me out at Moonflower right now! |
(0:13:27.20) |
Oryo : Sorry, but I'm taking her. She's always worked for me. |
(0:13:33.28) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Oh, well. |
(0:13:41.81) |
Kasuga : Thank you, Aoi-chan! |
(0:13:45.33) |
Oryo : Now, go back to work, everyone! |
(0:13:48.38) |
Kasuga : I think she can become the assistant hostess again. |
(0:13:55.65) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I think Kasuga is right. |
(0:14:02.87) |
Chiaki : Kasuga! |
(0:14:13.21) |
Kasuga : Well, it's that time. |
(0:14:19.84) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Kasuga... |
(0:14:22.77) |
Kasuga : Don't cry, Aoi-chan. I'm sure we'll see each other before too long. |
(0:14:24.72) |
Aoi Tsubaki : What? |
(0:14:30.45) |
Kasuga : We'll both be wives of Hachiyo. |
(0:14:31.98) |
Kasuga : Somewhere along the line, our fates will connect. |
(0:14:35.10) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Huh? |
(0:14:39.41) |
Kasuga : Bye-bye! |
(0:14:43.47) |
Kasuga : Bye-bye, Tenjin-ya! |
(0:14:45.61) |
Kasuga : Farewell, everyone! My Tenjin-ya! |
(0:14:49.12) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Oh, I see. O-Ryo... |
(0:15:00.86) |
Odanna : Good evening, Aoi. |
(0:15:25.66) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Welcome, Master. |
(0:15:28.32) |
Odanna : So, what dishes are you going to feed me? |
(0:15:31.24) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I want you to try some pumpkin meat cakes. |
(0:15:34.16) |
Odanna : Pumpkin meat cakes? |
(0:15:38.04) |
Aoi Tsubaki : It's a secret recipe just for you— something spicy and full of meat! |
(0:15:40.63) |
Odanna : A recipe just for me? I like that—it's very wifely of you. |
(0:15:45.88) |
Aoi Tsubaki : That's
what you like about it? |
(0:15:50.90) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I'll make it right now, so start on the potage while you wait. |
(0:15:54.18) |
Odanna : It goes down much more smoothly than I expected. |
(0:16:01.62) |
Odanna : I was imagining something thick, but this is easy to swallow. |
(0:16:05.11) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Good! I added lots of soy milk and kept the flavoring simple. |
(0:16:09.56) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Here it is: your special pumpkin meat cake dinner. |
(0:16:20.39) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I cooked the rice with barley. |
(0:16:24.84) |
Odanna : Your home cooking... |
(0:16:27.26) |
Odanna : It looks delicious. |
(0:16:30.29) |
Aoi Tsubaki : So you say, but I see the cold sweat on your face. |
(0:16:32.01) |
Odanna : I'm sure you're mistaken about that. |
(0:16:36.40) |
Odanna : It has pumpkin's sweetness, but it's spicy. |
(0:16:46.10) |
Odanna : Did you use a seven-spice chili mix? |
(0:16:49.51) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Yep! The chili's spiciness makes the overall flavor crisper. |
(0:16:51.61) |
Aoi Tsubaki : And the juiciness of the meat helps the pumpkin not feel too thick, right? |
(0:16:57.00) |
Odanna : Yes. It doesn't really feel like I'm eating pumpkin, a food I don't like. |
(0:17:02.27) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I wanted to leverage the power of other ingredients |
(0:17:08.84) |
Aoi Tsubaki : to make the pumpkin easier for you to eat. |
(0:17:10.96) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Once you get more used to eating it, I bet it'll stop bothering you. |
(0:17:13.06) |
Odanna : Oho! You're quite the strategist, Aoi. |
(0:17:16.97) |
Odanna : Thank you for the meal. |
(0:17:22.80) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I'm happy you ate it all. |
(0:17:24.73) |
Odanna : Your cooking always puts me at ease. |
(0:17:28.59) |
Odanna : Ginji once said your food reveals an ayakashi's heart, |
(0:17:33.41) |
Odanna : and he was right. |
(0:17:38.48) |
Odanna : It's quite difficult for my heart to remain closed in the face of your cooking. |
(0:17:40.62) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Does that mean you'll tell me something? |
(0:17:46.47) |
Odanna : I did that just now, didn't I? |
(0:17:49.17) |
Odanna : But I won't tell you any more than that. |
(0:17:51.59) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I just don't understand you, Master. |
(0:17:56.68) |
Odanna : Are you angry? |
(0:18:01.00) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I wouldn't say I'm angry, but... |
(0:18:02.66) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I want to know you. |
(0:18:05.36) |
Odanna : Aoi. |
(0:18:11.15) |
Aoi Tsubaki : What's this? A key? |
(0:18:15.24) |
Odanna : One made of obsidian. |
(0:18:19.53) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Obsidian... |
(0:18:21.77) |
Odanna : I want you to hold on to it for me. |
(0:18:24.13) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Me? Why? |
(0:18:28.00) |
Odanna : Tomorrow, I'll be heading to the Imperial Court in Youto. |
(0:18:31.51) |
Odanna : I've been summoned by the ayakashi king. |
(0:18:35.31) |
Aoi Tsubaki : That's the ruler of the hidden realm, right? |
(0:18:38.26) |
Odanna : Yes. It's essentially a business trip, nothing big... |
(0:18:42.09) |
Odanna : But anything could happen here while I'm gone. |
(0:18:46.81) |
Aoi Tsubaki : What does this key unlock? |
(0:18:52.11) |
Odanna : I can't tell you that. |
(0:18:55.61) |
Odanna : But if you really do want to know me, |
(0:18:58.16) |
Odanna : then try finding something that key can open. |
(0:19:03.37) |
Odanna : Still, I would much prefer that you not open it. |
(0:19:08.42) |
Aoi Tsubaki : What do you mean by that? |
(0:19:15.13) |
Odanna : You've said that you want to know me. |
(0:19:18.98) |
Odanna : If you learn who I truly am, though, |
(0:19:21.90) |
Odanna : I imagine you'll hate me. |
(0:19:26.73) |
Odanna : That makes me very uneasy. |
(0:19:31.02) |
Odanna : I am
an ogre, after all. |
(0:19:35.03) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Master... |
(0:19:38.87) |
Odanna : And now I must be going. |
(0:19:42.74) |
Odanna : Thank you for dinner. |
(0:19:45.24) |
Odanna : You've changed my impression of pumpkins. |
(0:19:46.88) |
Odanna : I think I could eat anything you cooked, Aoi. |
(0:19:51.10) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I'll cook you anything you'd like. |
(0:19:54.76) |
Odanna : Goodnight, Aoi. |
(0:20:00.96) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Wait, Master! |
(0:20:20.35) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I care for you. |
(0:20:23.49) |
Odanna : What? |
(0:20:28.59) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I believe in you. |
(0:20:30.50) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Remember what you told me? |
(0:20:34.47) |
Aoi Tsubaki : You said that everyone at Tenjin-ya recognizes my skill, |
(0:20:36.76) |
Aoi Tsubaki : and that's something I gained on my own. |
(0:20:39.84) |
Aoi Tsubaki : That even if I make a mistake, no one will make fun of me. |
(0:20:42.94) |
Aoi Tsubaki : The same goes for you, too. |
(0:20:49.17) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I can trust you now |
(0:20:51.63) |
Aoi Tsubaki : because you've been supporting me from the shadows all this time. |
(0:20:53.51) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Because you've stood by my side when it counted. |
(0:20:58.49) |
Aoi Tsubaki : You've helped me—over and over. |
(0:21:02.12) |
Aoi Tsubaki : So learning something about you definitely won't make me hate you! |
(0:21:05.47) |
Aoi Tsubaki : M-M-Ma...? |
(0:21:24.89) |
Odanna : Aoi. |
(0:21:26.57) |
Odanna : Aoi... I swear I'll make you my wife. |
(0:21:29.60) |
Odanna : I respect you from the bottom of my heart. |
(0:21:37.71) |
Aoi Tsubaki : The master never came back. |
(0:21:48.82) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Ginji-san, any word from the master? |
(0:21:56.38) |
Ginji : I still can't get in touch with him. |
(0:21:59.81) |
Aoi Tsubaki : It's been a month since he left for the Imperial Court. |
(0:22:02.88) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I haven't gotten any replies to my more recent letters, either. |
(0:22:06.07) |
Ginji : Aoi-san... |
(0:22:09.79) |
Ginji : It's all right. Saizou-san the security guard is with him. |
(0:22:11.90) |
Aoi Tsubaki : I know, but... |
(0:22:16.17) |
Aoi Tsubaki : Raiju! |
