01x03 - She Still Sees Them

[bunniefuu]

I'm off!

Ah, I'm late!

Don't go home late!

The door is closing.

I made it in time.

The bus is departing.

WE'RE MEETING AT 2 P.M., RIGHT?

YEAH

It's 2 p.m. I'm barely on time.

Today, I'll buy prayer beads for sure.

They're quite expensive.

Impossible, right? What do you think?

It's so funny!

Impossible, right? What do you think?

It's so funny!

Is this…?

Impossible, right? What do you think?

It's so funny!

Impossible, right?

What do you think?

It's so funny!

Impossible, right? What do you think?

It's so funny!

Just a little more…

If I hold out just a little more…

I'LL BE THERE SOON

Next is Ichigaya Station Front.

Ichigaya Station Front.

Ah, it's the next one.

We will stop at the next destination.

Impossible, right?

What do you think?

What do you think?

Ichigaya Station Front.

Ichigaya Station Front.

Please be careful with your steps.

It's so funny.

Ichigaya Station Front.

Is anyone getting off here?

The bus will depart.

Seriously?

So impossible!

The heck? That's so funny!

Because of me?

Sorry, I'll cut it off here.

SORRY, HANA.

I MISSED MY STOP. I'LL BE LATE

I ALSO MISTOOK MY TRAIN! I'LL BE LATE!

STEABUCKS

Will Hana get here soon?

It's fine. Trust me.

I'm not lying.

I love you.

Yeah.

I…

I'm looking forward to it too.

…love…

I love you.

Yeah, I love you.

I love you!

More!

Oh, sh*t.

Huh?

What's with you?

She's looking this way! This is bad!

I don't mean it that way!

Not at all!

Wait, she's coming over!

What should I do?

What's with you? What do you want?

Hurry!

Hurry!

I won't give him to you!

Man, he's so cool!

I told you! He's mine!

I won't give him! I won't give him to you!

I won't give…

Here it comes! The Snake Drop!

The manliest of all men!

Anaconda, the Badger!

The Badger is so cool.

Macho beard looks so good.

Not him.

I managed to trick her!

I can't take it anymore. I want to go.

-Miko! Sorry to keep you waiting!

-Hana!

Let's go now.

Hey, so your name is Miko?

You were checking me out, right?

Actually, I'm interested in you too.

If you don't mind, tell me your number.

Why don't we go to--

-You're late, Hana.

-Huh?

Sorry, I hopped on the opposite lane!

By the way, do you know him?

Who? Let's go.

Wait, can I buy something here first?

Red bean latte!

Sure.

What's wrong with her?

I thought she's easy.

Yuu!

-Sorry for the wait.

-Yeah.

I love you. Let's go together.

-Don't abandon me.

-You're the only one.

You were talking with another girl,

weren't you?

Of course not.

Don't cheat on me.

Of course.

-I love you.

-I love you too.

Two peas in a pod.

Did you say something?

Nope.

DON

Thank you!

Okay! Now I'll be fine.

Supposedly.

Donki really has everything!

You bought that doll again?

You have a mountain of them in your room.

Having loads of them makes them cuter!

You even bought four beads.

After all, having more

makes them stronger, right?

Stronger?

Hey, are prayer beads really on the fad?

It's the fad, really.

Honestly? I've never met

anyone who knows that.

Because we're the pioneer.

You mean it'll become soon?

It will. Definitely.

Maybe I should have bought one too.

-Take these.

-What?

-For me?

-Yeah.

Wow, thank you!

I should raise Hana's defense too.

All right.

We have matching beads!

Early ride on the trend!

In return, I'll buy you Butt Daifuku!

Butt Daifuku?

It's so soft and spongy.

It's super delicious!

It's right beyond there!

Hurry up, Miko!

Hana, wait!

Huh? They distanced themselves.

Could it be…?

The beads' power?

There is also Strawberry Butt Daifuku!

Wow.

I knew it! Prayer beads are amazing!

The strawberry one is limited

to 50 items per day!

If we don't hurry, it'll sell out!

As long as I have these,

there's nothing to fear any…

…more.

I-it'll be okay. The beads will…

Itchy.

What?

What is it, Miko?

What's wrong? Your shoe laces went loose?

Miko?

I'm okay! My beads just broke.

What? But we just bought it.

Don't come!

At this rate, Hana will bump into it!

But if I say don't come close,

they'll know I can see them!

If I avoid them, I'd get found out too!

But…

Hana will…

She can't see!

Both of them!

Let's go back to Donki

and have them replaced!

It's fine.

But you came all the way to buy them!

It's okay, really.

Those who can't see just walk

through them, anyway.

I pulled through!

-Where is it?

-Huh?

That was close.

I didn't realize I dropped it earlier!

Hana, wait!

Th-thank you.

Miko, you're so kind.

Miko?

You're crying!

I'm okay.

It's shocking, I know!

I can't believe they sell defective items!

I'll go and complain!

Please don't!

But it's unfair to you, Miko!

It's fine, really!

Itchy…

It's delicious!

I know, right?

It's so chewy. It's like eating a butt!

I've never eaten a butt.

But I'm still frustrated.

You want to eat the strawberry that much?

No, the prayer beads!

You've just bought them.

If you want these, I'll give them back.

Not a chance!

I gave them to you.

But still…

Wow, you're really amazing!

FORTUNE TELLING, EXORCISM GOD MOTHER

Let's go another day.

Just like what you said, God Mother!

Since I've used this,

I get teased by guys all the time!

If it runs out of power,

I will recharge it for 30,000 yen.

Please come again.

Of course, I will! I'll be back again!

That can only hold for two more times.

One, two, three.

If I subtract the hired teasers' fee…

I should hurry and find the next prey.

Ouch. My back hurts.

TO MOM

GIVEN YOUR AGE, LET'S LIVE TOGETHER

IT'S HARD TO SURVIVE

JUST BY FORTUNE TELLING

FROM MASANON

At this point,

I just don't want to be a burden.

-Excuse me.

-Huh?

Heave-h*.

Do you have strong prayer beads?

Ones that won't just break right away!

Sheesh, they're just kids.

Oh, my, such cute customers.

You're right on time.

We have ones with good fortune effect.

-She has it! We're so lucky!

-Yeah.

Kids won't have much money.

Let's just sell some random ones

for 3,000 yen.

Here. This one contains strong power.

Looks like a strong one!

Can I try wearing it?

Sure.

It broke again!

The rubber broke, eh? I am sorry.

I will give you a new one.

Though I've gone rotten,

I'm still the Downtown God Mother.

I can see a bit.

There's some black shadow.

Why is it following me?

I can see it super clearly.

It's such a nasty one.

Itchy…

Dear, have you been

seeing anything strange?

No.

Or anything weird?

No.

What? What are you talking about?

Nothing.

She notices them,

but she completely ignores them.

What a determined girl.

That one…

The other one, her living aura is amazing.

It's really astounding.

What is it? Nothing scary, right?

Not scary at all, not even a little bit.

-Really?

-Really.

-Seriously serious?

-Seriously serious.

She doesn't realize it, but…

she'll attract various things.

But she's asking

if you've been seeing anything strange!

She's asking

if there's something wrong with my vision.

-What do you mean strange?

-Like astigmatism.

With that much power,

whatever's coming won't affect her.

-Um…

-Huh?

The prayer beads?

Ah, wait for a while.

This one over here is definitely

"the girl who sees."

I'm not a rotten person who'll abandon

someone like my granddaughter.

I never thought I'll ever take this out.

Don't worry, my dear.

This is the real deal.

It's the strongest one.

It's beautiful!

It's filled with unparalleled power

unlike the last one.

No need to pay, just take it.

Is that okay?

Yes.

Because you've opened my eyes as well.

It's filled with all of my power

during my prime.

Today is the end of the lowly fraud.

It's the revival of the God Mother!

It's itchy!

Ma'am, are you okay?

Prayer beads break so easily.

Mine also snapped back then too.

I guess, I'll give up on prayer beads.

I know, right?

That nasty one…

It has suddenly gone somewhere.

Itchy…

Mom…?

I've turned over a new leaf.

CLOSED

TAKEDA MITSUE

Actually, I can see them quite a lot too.

I can see them even now.

There's one behind you,

who's watching right now.
