01x15 - Release

[bunniefuu]

Did lips, painted with poison,
just come to my room?

It seems as if my mind and body
are melting with your kiss.

Hateful self, 19 years old
Hateful self, 19 years old

Your heart is so beautiful
it's almost nauseating.

Why would you kiss someone like me,
who can't do a thing?

Hmm?

Hateful days, 19 years old
Hateful face, 19 years old

L-L-L-Like a black swallowtail butterfly,

I want to fly on magnificent wings!

P-P-P-Please don't say it's ridiculous!

That kind of life is good...

It's good!
[L-L-L-Like a black
swallowtail butterfly...]

Waves... That which swells and subsides.

Waves... That which is born and spreads.

Waves... That which one cannot dispute.

It's probably no good.
I'm sure I'll mess it up.

I can't do anything, after all.

Chains... The laws of nature.

The flow of time.
The vessel known as the body.

The ego known as the mind.

I'm completely different
from my sister after all.

There is just one chain
that people can use.

I want to hurry and get out of here.

Are you all right!?

Sis, you're bleeding!

Let's go out.

Was your sister injured or something?

She's quiet even though she falls a lot,

but today she didn't...

There's nothing that could
have injured her inside here.

The spirits didn't even...

That was really unexpected...

I want to hurry and get out of here.

Man, what happened, Sis? You okay?

I'm sorry. But it seems
like it was nothing.

Really? If so, that's good, but...

She couldn't have...

I'm sorry for making you worry.

I'm okay, so relax.

If a dog goes walking, he hits Mokona.

--Got it!
--Got it!

I did it!

If you pile up Mokonas,
it becomes a mountain.

--Got it!
--Got it!

Isn't something a little sneaky?

Not at all.

A white Mokona hides,
a black Mokona doesn't.

--Got it! Got it!
--Got it!

It's mine.

--That was sneaky!
--Sneaky?

Pick up the Mokona in the flames.

--Got it! Got it! Got it! Got it...
--Got it! Got it! Got it! Got it...

"She couldn't have..." right?

But how else could she have
gotten injured all of a sudden?

She just said she wanted to
get out of there, right?

Moreover, that's not
the only time, is it?

That you felt a "wave" from her?

The contact!

I think we won't find it.

That's right. You couldn't
find the contact.

Because she bound herself from it.

Then, what you were saying about
the chains that only people can use...

...they're "words!?"

Yes. They are frightening, words...

Once they have left the mouth,
they cannot be returned.

They cannot become nothing.

Without realizing just
how much it might bind,

people continue using those chains.

If I mess up dinner...

I'm always such a burden to my sister.

Words are alive.

And, on occasion, they even
bind the life path of people.

So, what'll we do?

Huh?

Are we not going to see
those twins again?

It's not my decision.

Oh?

No ifs, and, or buts about it...

You said you wanted your
handkerchief back, didn't you?

Yeah, but... Really, I don't
care about it either way.

You don't care?

It's not a big deal if I've
lost one handkerchief.

Both of those twins are into you!

Is that so?

It's clearly plain and obvious
that that's the case!

Even so, you make that remark!
You have that attitude!

Well, whatever. What about you?
What do you want to do?

Huh?

Are we gonna see them again? Or not?

I'd be happy to be invited.
You're the main one, though...

--But...
--Hmm?

But now I know that words are chains.

Are we going to stop seeing them?

Now that I know, I feel that
I have to tell her that somehow.

Though I suppose it's a story
no one would believe.

I'll probably just end up
appearing like some nutjob.

If that's what you want to do,
then you should do it.

As long as it's decided for
her that it can't be done,

won't it stay the same
for the older one?

I'll go along when you go.

Then, you can take care of my half.

Is that what you're after!?

U-Umm... I washed your handkerchief,

but the stain wouldn't come out...

I bought this one for you, instead...

Thanks.

I'm gonna get something to drink.

Uh, okay...

Welcome!

Do you like him?

Doumeki...

Huh!?

He has a sour look,
but he won't bite.

You should try talking to him.

But...

I'm no match for my sister.

My sister is cheerful,
she can do anything...

I have the same face,
but I'm absolutely useless.

Talking to him would be pointless.

It wouldn't!

If you decide it's pointless
before even doing something,

then it really will be.

Try saying that you do have good points.

'Kay?

Good points?

That's right! Things will change
if you just say so. I'm sure of it.

It really would be nice if there were...
Good points.

Right!

--It's milk coffee...
--Huh?

Before, when we were having cake,
you drank milk coffee, right?

For buying me the handkerchief.

T-Thank you!

You seem to be in high spirits.

High spirits, high spirits! Watanuki!

Did something good happen?

We met up with those twins again.
Mostly the older sister...

And then, she totally brightened up!

Yuko-san, you said words
were living things, right?

I get it.

Chains don't only bind.

They can connect
and link us together, too.

Just saying something positive
made such a difference.

Words really are amazing!

Oh? But, you know, the words
that bind aren't only your own.

Huh?

Oh, wow! You made all
of these, Watanuki-kun?

I was wondering if maybe I couldn't
reproduce the cakes from that cafe.

They're perfect! I love Mont Blanc!

Why are you eating the first one!?

Here.

Thank you.

Himawari-chan, you didn't need
to bring this guy coffee, too.

What's wrong? You eat, too.

You're the one that decided to eat!

Looks like you're having fun.

Ah! Hello.

You're having a picnic
with your friends today?

Something like that.

Do you have work now?

Work?

Aah, I'm the older one.

Wha!?

I'm sorry I mixed you up!

Don't worry about it. That's
been happening a lot lately.

I can understand. After all...

I'm more cheerful?

Yes!

Well, I mean...

That's okay. It's true.

--It's all thanks to you.
--Huh?

That's because, before doing anything,

I'd already decided it wouldn't work out.

Lately, I've been trying to say
that you never know until you try.

And now, little by little,
I feel like I'm messing up less.

It might just feel that way, though...

Uh-uh. Next time, try saying this...

Huh?

Rather than, "I don't know,"
say, "I'm certain it will go well!"

I'm certain it will go well...

That's right.

Have some.

Thank you.

Why, you! Isn't that something I made!?

What are you doing giving
stuff away as if it's yours!?

Would you like to picnic with us?

Your girlfriend?

Uh... Well... No... Not... It's... Well...

Then, Doumeki's?

Definitely not. No way.

Oh?

Delicious!

The flowers are blooming,
the weather is beautiful...

It really seems like all sorts
of things are going well.

Yeah.

Oh yeah. Umm, if you'd like...

I'm now working part-time at that cafe.

If you can, please come together.

So she said... Because she said...

Don't you show any restraint!?

She said "together," didn't she?

I wanted to come with Himawari-chan!

Kunogi said she had
piano lessons, didn't she?

I know that, but...

That may be, but...

--Welcome...
--Mm?

U-Umm... Your order?

Uh, the cake set, with black tea.

The same.

I-It'll be out in a moment...

Why?

Before, in the park,
she was so cheerful.

Hello!

May I sit with you?

Ah, sure!

When Sis told me, all of a sudden,
she was going to work here,

I asked her if it was wise,

when she's always dropping
plates and stuff at home.

So I came to see how
she's doing for myself.

--See for yourself? Often?
--Yes.

You're that worried for her?

Yes. But we're sisters.
Isn't that natural?

Ah, be careful, Sis!

Don't drop another cup!

After all, you're really so unsteady.

See now, customers are watching!

Better take your time. No spilling.

I'm sorry, Doumeki-kun!

It's all right.

That's why I told you you
shouldn't get a part-time job.

I-I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

It's impossible! Don't! Failure!

I knew it!

I... I...

It's only been a week,
and you've hurt yourself so much.

Every time I come it's worse.

Mom and Dad are worried, too.

I... I...

Come on, I think it would
be better for you to quit.

You're not so good talking to
people you don't know, right?

Being a waitress is impossible for you!

Relaxing at home suits you.

There's no need for you to
be working a part-time job.

Right? Come on, quit.

Y-You don't know that!

Already worrying about
messing up something

you haven't done yet can't be helped!

A regret is a regret
because it is something

you're sorry for after having done it.

So, please, don't give up now!

And what if something
were to happen to her!?

One takes responsibility
for one's own choices.

Yuko-san!

Isn't it easy? Being bound by words...

It's fine to stay this way,

if the current situation
you've chosen makes you happy.

However...

Is this present ease more important

than the joy of when
you're finally able to say

things are certainly going to go well?

Do you have a wish?

I'll require payment.

Fine.

Let me grant your wish.

What is your wish?

I want to change!

Sorry for making you wait!

You cut your hair.

To pay Yuko-san.

Don't make that face.

But it was so long...

If all it takes as payment is this hair,
then I'm happy to do so.

This is starting to change, too...

I've still got a way to go,
but I can tell that,

little by little,
I'm different than before.

They say I'm different
from the me before,

who would give up before
even starting something.

And so, to not regret it, let me say...

I... I like you.

Thank you. But, I'm sorry...

Huh? Wha!?

That's what I thought.

Aah... I was rejected, too.

But I'm glad I said it.

You're right. Giving it up as lost
before saying anything is no good.

I've reflected on that.

'Kay, how about we move on to the next?

--Yes.
--N-Next?

Yes.

I was hoping we might be
able to go have cake again...

Normally, like friends.

If it's good.

Certainly! Then, I'll get us tea.

Thank you!

That time, if it had been decided
that there was nothing I could do,

she wouldn't even have
been able to say thank you.

Huh?

I'll make whatever you like
for lunch tomorrow.

What do you want?

Star fruit.

W-What's with that!? A fruit!?
And a minor one at that!

You harassing me!?

Then, tessa.
[fugu [pufferfish] sashimi]

What's sashimi'ed fugu!?

Don't be asking for things
that can't be done!

Then, make up for it with tecchiri.
[a boiled fugu dish]

Huh?

With soft roe.

Soft roe!

Are you serious about
a hot dish in this season!?

Delicious food is good
for eating anytime.

We were talking about a lunch box!
A hot dish would be impossible!

If you decide it can't
be done beforehand,

then you won't be able
to do anything.

This is no time for you to be
throwing my lines back at me!

Oh yeah, Yuko-san, I was thinking
you haven't been at home much lately.

Have you been trying out
various restaurants?

Oh? What could you be talking about...

With that amount of Autumn appetite,
you'll get fat.

Surely I've understood what you've said.

Then, I'll let you make foods
that won't make me fat.

With nary a day of rest.

Huh!? Uh, no, I...

Responsibility is taken for oneself.

When you get back, tecchiri, please!

--Soft roe!
--Fugu.

--Tecchiri!
--Soft roe!
--Fugu.

--Tecchiri!
--Soft roe!
--Fugu.

--Tecchiri!
--Soft roe!
--Fugu.

--Tecchiri!
--Soft roe!
--Fugu.

Light pink corrupted
midsummer's eve dreams

Yearning for the mayfly
that flies away

The dream bonfire burns out

The vestiges of life,
glistening in the waves

The face of someone
you're crazy about is swaying

As though walking on air,
as though in a blur,

dancing with you in a dream

Light pink corrupted
midsummer's eve dreams

Yearning for the mayfly
that flies away

Thinking of you, dreaming a dream,
in a dream, in a dream

Overflowing delight,
everlastingly, everlastingly

Light pink corrupted...

Inside the vase... Inside the vase...

Another world lies inside the vase.

Crystals? Daffodils?

Fireflies lead the way
deep into the forest.

A flute invites investigation.

Let us meet with that cute girl.

Let us go to express our gratitude.

Next time, Holic, "Reunion"
