Hydrangea

1 Please put that here.
All right.
Now we have to stir it! Sorry I'm the one who said I wanted to bake a cake.
That's OK, it's no trouble.
I'm happy you asked me.
Hey, you! Don't forget you're using my kitchen That's not the point! Hey, hands off! Yuko-san! Good afternoon, Himawari-chan.
What's going on? She has a favor to ask.
What? You should be glad, Watanuki Kimihiro.
I'll let you do something fun.
So she says! - Episode 5: Hydrangea - This is my old friend, she's the goddess of rain.
In this world she's known as "Ame-Warashi" (Rain Child).
You mean she is a ghost? You're so rude! Don't mistake me for that kind of low level creature.
Yuko, is he really good enough? You need his help, don't you? I suppose I have no idea what you're talking about.
What do you want me to do? A member of my family has a problem right now.
I need your power.
My power? My power only allows me to see ghosts, and also attracts them to me.
That's it.
So, why don't we ask with Domeki-kun? I don't mind.
Don't answer without my permission! We've already agreed on a price.
What? All right, let's go, Part-timer.
Wait! I didn't say I'd go with you.
What are you talking about? You cannot refuse your boss's order.
I'm really busy right now.
Busy? With what? Well I have to bake a cake.
A cake? That's ridiculous.
lt's not ridiculous! lt is! You shut up! Watanuki-kun.
Somebody needs your help, yes? Watanuki-kun, I'll finish baking the cake myself and wait for you.
I'll do my best this time.
Himawari-chan.
Please help her.
Hey, what's wrong with that girl? How can you can use your power with her around? It's impossible and unbelievable.
What are you talking about? Ah, here we are.
She's in there.
It doesn't look like there's anybody around here.
She's been suffering a long time.
I wanted to do something but I can go no farther.
Please save her.
Are these Hydrangea? They are out of season.
I've never seen red Hydrangea.
Me neither.
By the way, why are you here with me? I don't understand, even though you had a terrible experience because of me, you accompanied me again.
I have nothing to do today.
I can't help baking a cake.
Is that the reason? Even though I have this power, it's a waste if I don't use it to help people.
You too.
What? If you wanted to refuse, you could.
But you accepted.
I couldn’t refuse once I saw Himawari-chan's smiling face.
Watanuki? Watanuki! Aida-san.
Aida Saori-san.
Please go into the consultation room.
Aida Saori-san, please go into the consultation room.
Is she calling you? Aren't you with anybody? My mother went home.
Because I'm a bad girl.
Aida-san.
Aida Saori-san.
I'm scared to go alone.
All right.
I'll go with you.
Hello, Saori-chan.
What's wrong today? It hurts.
I see.
Please sit down.
Can you tell me where it hurts? Ah, here.
Don't worry, it's not serious.
It will heal soon.
When this heals, will Mother pick me up? Of course.
Saori-chan, come this way.
Excuse me.
Where is this place? You're funny.
Let me go! Saori-chan.
Ghost.
Hey.
Who the hell are you? Oni-chan.
This is not good, Saori-chan.
Leave the evil Oni-chan alone and finish this.
Got it? It's bad, after all.
The important thing is the feeling from the one who makes the cake.
Not the appearance.
I'm useless.
Even if the outer appearance of a person can be changed, what's inside cannot.
That's what I believed for a long time.
However, if I have strong feelings about someone, I can change what they're like inside.
That's what I started to believe.
Thanks to someone.
Speaking of someone.
He seems to be in danger.
Watanuki-kun is? However, you can save him.
I can? I don't think so! Impossible! Why not? It's not so difficult.
You just need to share a little of your power with me.
However, you have to decide by yourself.
Oni-chan! Don't leave me alone! I don't want to be alone anymore! I won't leave you.
Let's go! Give her to me.
What will you do with Saori-chan? What will I do? Well Yes.
We shall eat her.
They're delicious, you know? Children's souls.
Ah, don't get me wrong.
I hate violence.
I have never killed anyone.
That girl is already dead.
However, she hasn't noticed that yet.
Or she may be pretending not to notice.
Right, Saori-chan? Why don't we stop playing tag? Your mother will never come for you.
Saori-chan, do you remember? The day when your mother showed you Hydrangea? It was a bright blue, and fresh green.
There was the shell of a snail.
You stared at it.
Before you knew it, your mother's stomach was touching your back.
You felt her warm breath.
Her bony fingers strangled your throat.
Mother, why?! I can't breathe.
Please stop it! Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
Who the hell are you? Hello? Yes.
Yes, I got it.
That's right.
Yes.
Have a nice day.
Yuko-san.
Watanuki was I know.
Take this.
You hold one side.
And bury the other side into the roots of the Hydrangea.
Kunogi.
I see.
You're Watanuki-kun.
I've heard your name before.
As I said, I don't like violence.
Please go home now.
Go back to your home and live peacefully.
Try not to see or feel anything.
Then, you'll be happy.
I won't give Saori-chan to you.
Don't you understand? She is already dead.
And she is a total stranger to you.
Would you risk your life for a stranger? I promised her.
I see.
I intended to settle this incident peacefully.
You, a mere human being getting all carried away.
Saori-chan.
Let's go home.
Let's go! Himawari-chan.
You're not alone anymore.
She went missing six months ago.
Her mother is now being questioned by the police.
Saori-chan's soul was trapped between this world and the afterlife.
The ghosts had their eyes on her.
However, Himawari-chan saved us.
I didn't know that she had that kind of power.
Master, you have a guest.
It's a guest who visited yesterday.
Ame-Warashi! Thank you for your hard work.
I was worried about you, but you did a fine job.
Was it hard? lt's OK, since I was able to save Saori-chan.
What? I said, Saori-chan Wait! Ah, you misunderstood.
Well, it's not a big deal since it was a happy ending.
Hydrangea is the symbol of the Goddess of Rain.
It is a very pure thing, pretty rare these days.
Because of the human blood, it had turned red.
So, I wanted you to save the Hydrangea.
Then what about Saori-chan? She had nothing to do with my request.
Humans never help supernatural creatures like us, so why do we bother to help them? So, what about the payment? Don't rush me! I'll bring it next time.
I just dropped by today to give my greetings.
Well, see you! I finished doing the dishes.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Yuko-san, do you agree with Ame-Warashi? Do you also think humans beings are not worth saving? I was happy that my special eyes actually saved someone.
I used my eyes and power to save someone.
It's thanks to you that I know that's possible.
Yuko-san if I choose to help people, is it really my choice, or is it inevitable? If you do decide, that means you want to cancel your wish.
Am I right? If you want to save people, you have to keep seeing ghosts.
Well Plus, you will have no reason to come here, too.
Yuko-san.
Yuko-san.
Please wait, Yuko-san! Yuko-san! I don't want to see you anymore.
That's all I want to tell you.
I'm jealous that you have such clear eyes.
Who are you? I'll let you know Come to my shop.
Kunogi Himawari has dirty blood.
Watanuki! Watanuki-kun, where are you? You're fine as you are.
I have to go back.
Yuko-san.
Yuko-san! srt reduction ~ Vultural
