1
00:00:01,624 --> 00:00:04,624
KEIO YEAR 3

2
00:00:05,666 --> 00:00:07,624
Long time no see.

3
00:00:07,624 --> 00:00:08,708
How's life been treatin' ya?

4
00:00:09,666 --> 00:00:11,624
What are you doing here?

5
00:00:11,624 --> 00:00:15,624
Yeesh, not much of a welcome.
You got beef with me or what?

6
00:00:16,624 --> 00:00:17,708
I wouldn't put it that way.

7
00:00:19,666 --> 00:00:22,666
Well, I'm here to treat you to a cup o' tea.

8
00:00:23,624 --> 00:00:25,666
You came all the way from Kyoto for that?

9
00:00:25,666 --> 00:00:26,666
Yup.

10
00:00:26,666 --> 00:00:29,666
Anyhoo, you'll let me in, won'tcha?

11
00:00:32,708 --> 00:00:36,666
I gotta say, your digs are as bland as ever.

12
00:00:42,708 --> 00:00:45,624
Gone from hunter to kidnapper, eh?

13
00:00:45,666 --> 00:00:47,624
That's my daughter.

14
00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:51,624
Your daughter, really?

15
00:00:52,624 --> 00:00:54,708
Hi there, lil' missy. What's your name?

16
00:01:00,624 --> 00:01:01,666
Nomari.

17
00:01:03,666 --> 00:01:08,624
Sorry if I spooked ya, Nomari-chan.
But I got some business with your daddy here.

18
00:01:11,708 --> 00:01:14,708
Such good manners. Hard to believe that you raised her.

19
00:01:15,624 --> 00:01:16,624
Right?

20
00:01:17,708 --> 00:01:20,666
Shucks, I wasn't expecting ya to just agree with me!

21
00:02:57,708 --> 00:02:58,666
What's this?

22
00:02:59,624 --> 00:03:01,708
A natsume tea caddy. Well-crafted, ain't it?

23
00:03:02,708 --> 00:03:05,666
Except that nobody seems to care for it.

24
00:03:06,624 --> 00:03:08,666
So it's just been sittin' and gathering dust.

25
00:03:09,666 --> 00:03:10,708
It's the hydrangeas, I'd bet.

26
00:03:11,624 --> 00:03:12,624
Hm?

27
00:03:12,666 --> 00:03:16,624
Hydrangeas can change color
based on the soil they're grown in.

28
00:03:17,624 --> 00:03:22,666
Therefore, many people consider these flowers to be
a bad omen that represents treachery and fickleness.

29
00:03:22,708 --> 00:03:24,708
Oh? Go figure!

30
00:03:25,624 --> 00:03:27,624
Or so I was once told.

31
00:03:27,624 --> 00:03:29,624
Still, this is a solid piece of work.

32
00:03:29,624 --> 00:03:31,624
It'd be a shame to just let it go to waste.

33
00:03:31,666 --> 00:03:35,666
So here I am, hopin' that you'd be willing to use it
to make us some tasty cups o' tea.

34
00:03:37,666 --> 00:03:39,624
You think I know how to make tea?

35
00:03:39,624 --> 00:03:41,707
Well, shoot. That's my bad!

36
00:03:42,624 --> 00:03:46,707
I ain't cultured enough to know the first thing
about how to perform a proper tea ceremony, myself.

37
00:03:50,666 --> 00:03:53,666
I don't suppose ya know anybody that could?

38
00:03:54,624 --> 00:03:56,666
Well, there is one person who comes to mind...

39
00:03:57,624 --> 00:03:58,666
Oh, that's great!

40
00:03:59,624 --> 00:04:02,666
Then let's go. We can all chew the fat over some tea.

41
00:04:03,666 --> 00:04:06,707
Then catch up on ghost and demon news, too.

42
00:04:11,707 --> 00:04:14,624
Wow, look at how big this sweet pea has gotten!

43
00:04:14,624 --> 00:04:18,666
Oh, stop it. You saw her just the other day, Dad.

44
00:04:18,666 --> 00:04:19,666
Huh?

45
00:04:19,666 --> 00:04:23,666
Well, yeah. But kids grow extra fast
whenever you're not looking.

46
00:04:23,666 --> 00:04:26,707
Like by a head or two every day!

47
00:04:27,624 --> 00:04:31,707
Trust me, Ofuu. I still remember the days
when you were all teensy-weeny!

48
00:04:33,624 --> 00:04:34,666
Enough, Dad.

49
00:04:35,666 --> 00:04:38,707
Oh! I should hurry and make her a cup of tea.

50
00:04:39,624 --> 00:04:42,707
Gosh. Looks like Nomari-chan's
already stealing hearts, eh?

51
00:04:43,624 --> 00:04:46,707
Yep. Although, I think it's more
that my dad is just a lovesick puppy.

52
00:04:49,666 --> 00:04:51,666
Ofuu. Will you watch her?

53
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:52,666
Sure.

54
00:04:52,707 --> 00:04:55,624
Have a good time, Daddy.

55
00:05:00,666 --> 00:05:02,624
Have fun!

56
00:05:08,624 --> 00:05:09,624
See you later.

57
00:05:12,666 --> 00:05:17,666
Just putting it out there, but I bet that soba chef
knew how to perform a tea ceremony, no?

58
00:05:23,666 --> 00:05:24,666
Maybe so.

59
00:05:27,624 --> 00:05:29,666
Well, life's complicated.

60
00:05:29,707 --> 00:05:33,624
Both people and towns...

61
00:05:33,666 --> 00:05:36,666
something's always different whenever you see them.

62
00:05:36,666 --> 00:05:39,666
They change in the blink of an eye,
even if you never notice.

63
00:05:41,624 --> 00:05:44,624
And if that's making ya feel a little lonesome, well...

64
00:05:45,666 --> 00:05:47,666
maybe it's just a sign you're getting old?

65
00:05:48,666 --> 00:05:49,666
Hell if I know.

66
00:05:50,666 --> 00:05:53,624
Jeez. You sure ya don't got beef with me?

67
00:05:54,666 --> 00:05:57,707
Oh, hey! Wanna do some hanami?

68
00:05:57,707 --> 00:06:00,707
Your friend who can help us
make tea lives this way, right?

69
00:06:00,707 --> 00:06:03,624
I know a spot along the way.

70
00:06:03,707 --> 00:06:06,666
Hanami? You mean look at cherry blossoms?

71
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:07,666
Yup!

72
00:06:07,666 --> 00:06:08,707
But they're not in season.

73
00:06:09,624 --> 00:06:11,624
Oh, pshaw.

74
00:06:13,666 --> 00:06:18,624
Whaddya think? Pretty classy looking shop, eh?

75
00:06:46,624 --> 00:06:47,707
Where are the cherry blossoms?

76
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:49,624
Don't fret.

77
00:06:50,624 --> 00:06:52,707
Nice. This is good stuff.

78
00:06:55,624 --> 00:06:57,624
Ya look confused.

79
00:06:57,665 --> 00:07:00,707
C'mere. Feast your eyes on this one.

80
00:07:03,665 --> 00:07:05,624
This is bizen ware.

81
00:07:05,665 --> 00:07:09,665
It's made with only clay and fire. No glaze whatsoever.

82
00:07:09,665 --> 00:07:11,624
Looks pretty rustic, eh?

83
00:07:11,665 --> 00:07:15,707
But these cups are great for sake cuz they enhance
the aroma and make it taste extra smooth.

84
00:07:16,665 --> 00:07:18,624
That's fascinating.

85
00:07:18,665 --> 00:07:22,624
Hah, I knew that'd get your attention!

86
00:07:23,707 --> 00:07:25,624
Over here is kutani ware.

87
00:07:26,624 --> 00:07:28,707
The lavish aesthetics are their big selling point.

88
00:07:29,665 --> 00:07:31,665
Flowers, birds, landscapes...

89
00:07:31,707 --> 00:07:36,665
They're just as much beautiful paintings
as they are dishware.

90
00:07:39,665 --> 00:07:44,707
It was actually a goldsmith who founded kutani ware,
so it shares a bond with the Akitsu style.

91
00:07:50,665 --> 00:07:53,624
Well? Pretty interesting stuff, huh?

92
00:07:54,665 --> 00:07:57,665
Learning the history behind these
makes me see them in a new light.

93
00:07:57,707 --> 00:07:59,707
Glad to hear it!

94
00:07:59,707 --> 00:08:02,624
But ya gotta be careful.

95
00:08:02,707 --> 00:08:07,665
These can turn people into connoisseurs who take on
enough debt to ruin their lives over a single plate.

96
00:08:08,624 --> 00:08:11,624
I'd never get in that deep. I have a daughter to care for.

97
00:08:12,624 --> 00:08:13,707
Hope that stays true!

98
00:08:24,665 --> 00:08:26,707
This is what I came here for.

99
00:08:30,624 --> 00:08:33,707
Nabeshima ware. A plate decorated with enamel
cherry blossoms and a brushwood fence.

100
00:08:34,665 --> 00:08:36,624
A real beaut, ain't it?

101
00:08:36,707 --> 00:08:39,665
You're right. This is a good spot for hanami.

102
00:08:39,707 --> 00:08:44,707
Every piece here is filled with the hopes and dreams
of the craftsman who made it.

103
00:08:47,665 --> 00:08:51,624
And the best part? These flowers never go out of season.

104
00:08:51,665 --> 00:08:53,665
They've been the same since 100 years ago.

105
00:08:53,665 --> 00:08:55,707
And'll stay the same for 100 more.

106
00:09:01,665 --> 00:09:04,665
Shucks! Beggin' your pardon, good sir.

107
00:09:04,707 --> 00:09:07,665
Sorry to bug ya with my silly request.

108
00:09:07,707 --> 00:09:10,707
Akitsu-dono, was it? That's okay.

109
00:09:10,707 --> 00:09:14,624
Tea ceremonies are not exactly my forte,
but I know how they're done.

110
00:09:14,665 --> 00:09:18,624
Besides, I enjoy partaking in
a leisurely cup of tea from time to time.

111
00:09:18,665 --> 00:09:22,665
My apologies. Neither of us
have experience with tea ceremonies.

112
00:09:22,665 --> 00:09:24,624
I hope you'll forgive any mistakes we make.

113
00:09:24,665 --> 00:09:28,707
Nitpicking over proper etiquette
runs counter to the primary essence of tea.

114
00:09:29,624 --> 00:09:32,665
Please, don't be so tense. Just enjoy yourselves.

115
00:09:34,707 --> 00:09:37,665
Okay. Please wait a moment.

116
00:10:11,665 --> 00:10:12,707
Delicious.

117
00:10:13,665 --> 00:10:15,624
I'm glad you think so.

118
00:10:18,624 --> 00:10:20,665
Aren't we supposed to drink from the same cup in turn?

119
00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:23,624
That's one way of doing it.

120
00:10:23,665 --> 00:10:27,665
But in the interest of socializing, I thought it best
to prepare a separate cup for each of us.

121
00:10:28,665 --> 00:10:30,623
Here. Please enjoy, Akitsu-dono.

122
00:10:30,707 --> 00:10:31,707
Thank ya kindly.

123
00:10:32,623 --> 00:10:35,665
I must say, I'm really struck by your generosity, good sir.

124
00:10:36,665 --> 00:10:41,665
Oh, think nothing of it. I gladly consider
any friend of Jin-dono's as a friend of mine.

125
00:10:41,707 --> 00:10:45,623
Make yourself at home.
I don't even mind if you sit cross-legged.

126
00:10:46,665 --> 00:10:49,623
Shucks, I don't wanna be that audacious!

127
00:10:52,623 --> 00:10:53,665
Mmm! Tasty!

128
00:11:08,665 --> 00:11:09,665
Long way down.

129
00:11:09,665 --> 00:11:12,665
Ready? Three, two, one... go!

130
00:11:18,665 --> 00:11:20,623
Come on down, Jinta!

131
00:11:20,665 --> 00:11:22,623
O-okay!

132
00:11:35,623 --> 00:11:37,623
Hey, that actually felt pretty good!

133
00:11:37,623 --> 00:11:38,665
I know, right?

134
00:11:38,707 --> 00:11:40,665
It's your turn next, you two!

135
00:11:42,665 --> 00:11:43,665
Suzune-chan!

136
00:11:45,665 --> 00:11:46,707
S-sure...

137
00:11:46,707 --> 00:11:48,623
We'll do it together.

138
00:11:48,665 --> 00:11:50,623
Three, two, one, go!

139
00:11:52,665 --> 00:11:54,665
Isn't this fun, Suzune-chan?

140
00:11:54,707 --> 00:11:55,707
Yeah!

141
00:12:01,665 --> 00:12:03,665
Congrats on your first jump, Suzune-chan!

142
00:12:06,623 --> 00:12:07,623
I wanna go again.

143
00:12:08,707 --> 00:12:10,623
Sure! Let's go!

144
00:12:10,707 --> 00:12:12,623
Me three!

145
00:12:12,623 --> 00:12:13,665
C'mon, everybody!

146
00:12:18,623 --> 00:12:22,665
Ya know, I reckon the tea tastes
even better thanks to this caddy.

147
00:12:22,665 --> 00:12:24,665
Indeed. It's a beautiful piece.

148
00:12:24,707 --> 00:12:26,665
You've got great taste!

149
00:12:26,665 --> 00:12:29,623
This here's actually the work
of a fairly distinguished craftsman.

150
00:12:29,707 --> 00:12:30,665
Wow!

151
00:12:31,665 --> 00:12:33,623
Is something the matter, Jin-dono?

152
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:40,623
Though I'd argue that calling Somegoro
my "friend" is a bit of a stretch.

153
00:12:41,665 --> 00:12:43,707
Yeesh. You're always so mean to me.

154
00:12:44,623 --> 00:12:47,665
But I reckon it's hard for anybody to be
as chummy as the two of you seem to be!

155
00:12:48,623 --> 00:12:50,665
I'm happy that's the impression you get.

156
00:12:50,665 --> 00:12:54,623
He's a good friend who I've known longer than any other.

157
00:12:54,665 --> 00:13:00,665
Oh? That's funny, cuz this yokel ain't near prestigious
enough to earn that kinda praise. Trust me!

158
00:13:01,623 --> 00:13:06,623
Social status makes no difference. Though, I realize
it's unfair for a samurai like me to claim that.

159
00:13:06,665 --> 00:13:11,623
But even so, I cherish the bond
that I've forged with Jin-dono.

160
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:15,707
And hopefully, we can maintain it
for many years to come.

161
00:13:31,623 --> 00:13:33,665
Chitose-chan, look at these!

162
00:13:40,707 --> 00:13:42,665
Wow! How pretty!

163
00:13:49,623 --> 00:13:51,665
What's the matter, Chitose-chan?

164
00:13:53,623 --> 00:13:55,623
Oh, it's nothing.

165
00:13:55,706 --> 00:13:56,665
Shall we go?

166
00:13:56,706 --> 00:13:57,706
All right.

167
00:14:00,665 --> 00:14:03,706
Really? Well, we should go together next time!

168
00:14:03,706 --> 00:14:04,665
Sure!

169
00:14:17,706 --> 00:14:21,665
You're right. Hopefully, we'll stay close.

170
00:14:22,706 --> 00:14:25,623
Yes. Indeed.

171
00:14:41,665 --> 00:14:44,665
Akitsu-dono. I understand you hail from Kyoto.

172
00:14:45,623 --> 00:14:46,665
I sure do.

173
00:14:47,665 --> 00:14:49,706
How are things going lately?

174
00:14:50,623 --> 00:14:51,623
In Kyoto?

175
00:14:51,706 --> 00:14:53,623
Let me think.

176
00:14:54,665 --> 00:14:58,623
Well, we've had a feisty bunch of visitors
comin' from Satsuma, Choshu, and the like.

177
00:14:58,623 --> 00:15:00,665
Things are kind of a mess!

178
00:15:04,665 --> 00:15:08,706
Beggin' your pardon.
Did my answer rub ya the wrong way?

179
00:15:09,665 --> 00:15:11,623
Oh, not at all.

180
00:15:16,665 --> 00:15:20,623
Shucks, that was tasty. I'm mighty grateful!

181
00:15:21,623 --> 00:15:22,623
Same here.

182
00:15:22,706 --> 00:15:25,665
Getting to relax in such good company
was a rare treat for me.

183
00:15:26,706 --> 00:15:27,665
Toodle-oo!

184
00:15:29,665 --> 00:15:30,623
Jin-dono.

185
00:15:33,665 --> 00:15:36,706
If you don't mind, could we spar sometime soon?

186
00:15:37,706 --> 00:15:39,665
Why the sudden interest?

187
00:15:40,623 --> 00:15:43,623
No reason. Just want to get some exercise.

188
00:15:43,706 --> 00:15:45,665
I'll gladly spar with you.

189
00:15:46,623 --> 00:15:48,623
But don't hesitate to ask if you need help with something.

190
00:15:52,706 --> 00:15:53,665
Right.

191
00:15:54,623 --> 00:15:56,623
I will. When the time comes.

192
00:16:03,665 --> 00:16:06,623
You're lucky to have him as a friend.

193
00:16:06,665 --> 00:16:07,665
I suppose.

194
00:16:08,623 --> 00:16:10,706
So, what did you really come here for?

195
00:16:10,706 --> 00:16:13,665
Exactly what I told ya before, silly.

196
00:16:13,665 --> 00:16:15,706
Just wanted to chat and have some tea.

197
00:16:16,665 --> 00:16:18,665
And we finished all that.

198
00:16:18,706 --> 00:16:21,623
Now it's time to talk demons.

199
00:16:23,623 --> 00:16:27,665
Like I told your samurai friend,
things have been getting dicey.

200
00:16:28,623 --> 00:16:32,623
Demons are poppin' up like mushrooms, even in Kyoto.

201
00:16:32,706 --> 00:16:36,665
And now, a nasty rumor's been going 'round
the exorcist community.

202
00:16:37,623 --> 00:16:39,623
It's weird how they keep proliferating,

203
00:16:39,623 --> 00:16:42,706
so people believe there's some kinda
demonic kingpin in control.

204
00:16:44,706 --> 00:16:46,623
Somegoro Akitsu.

205
00:16:46,665 --> 00:16:49,665
Has anybody described this kingpin?
Like maybe their hair color?

206
00:16:50,623 --> 00:16:53,665
Nah. Nobody's actually seen 'em in person.

207
00:16:53,706 --> 00:16:57,665
Could be a hulking monster or some kinda she-devil...

208
00:17:03,665 --> 00:17:05,665
Can't be sure yet.

209
00:17:08,623 --> 00:17:10,623
So, whatcha gonna do?

210
00:17:10,665 --> 00:17:11,706
Good question.

211
00:17:16,665 --> 00:17:20,665
Well, it's only a rumor. Ain't no proof yet.

212
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:23,664
But ya better keep that nugget in the back of your mind.

213
00:17:24,623 --> 00:17:26,706
Duly noted. Sorry for all the hassle.

214
00:17:27,623 --> 00:17:29,706
Aw, it's fine. Just a simple "thanks" will do!

215
00:17:29,706 --> 00:17:32,623
I really did want to have tea with ya.

216
00:17:32,623 --> 00:17:36,664
And we covered the demon news.
Plus, I even took care of my little ghost problem.

217
00:17:37,623 --> 00:17:39,664
I'd call that a satisfying day!

218
00:17:41,623 --> 00:17:42,706
Well, toodle-oo!

219
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:46,623
Somegoro Akitsu.

220
00:17:46,664 --> 00:17:52,664
We're done with tea and demons.
But I've yet to hear about this "ghost" problem.

221
00:17:53,623 --> 00:17:55,706
Like I said, it's all taken care of!

222
00:18:00,664 --> 00:18:04,623
I was plannin' to send it off by myself, but...

223
00:18:04,706 --> 00:18:08,664
This natsume here was shunned
not just for the hydrangea design,

224
00:18:08,664 --> 00:18:11,664
but also cuz strange phenomena occur in its presence.

225
00:18:11,664 --> 00:18:13,664
It got passed 'round like a rotten potato.

226
00:18:14,664 --> 00:18:18,706
Until, finally, it's last owner passed away.

227
00:18:18,706 --> 00:18:24,664
Nobody ever used it in its lifetime.
Then it got left to rot in an abandoned house.

228
00:18:25,664 --> 00:18:29,706
The poor thing. I mean, just look at how adorable it is.

229
00:18:30,706 --> 00:18:33,623
Okay, but what about the ghost?

230
00:18:33,664 --> 00:18:37,623
The emotions infused in this tea caddy brought it to life.

231
00:18:37,664 --> 00:18:39,664
As an Akitsu, I couldn't just toss it out.

232
00:18:39,664 --> 00:18:42,623
So I brought it along to give it a proper goodbye.

233
00:18:43,623 --> 00:18:45,664
It was mighty interested in you, by the way.

234
00:18:46,623 --> 00:18:48,664
Enjoyed its first time doing hanami, too.

235
00:18:49,623 --> 00:18:54,623
It also loved seeing all the different porcelain
and pottery displayed in that shop.

236
00:18:57,623 --> 00:18:59,623
A truly fulfilling day.

237
00:19:16,664 --> 00:19:19,706
The tsumogami shaman who can turn
the emotions of objects into demons.

238
00:19:20,664 --> 00:19:23,623
This method of exorcism is unique to you, I suppose.

239
00:19:26,623 --> 00:19:29,664
Swinging a flashy blade around
isn't the only way to dispel spirits, ya know.

240
00:19:29,706 --> 00:19:32,706
Sometimes the key to making them move on
is to befriend them.

241
00:19:33,664 --> 00:19:37,623
That's rich coming from a guy who just attacked me
without even trying to talk it out.

242
00:19:37,623 --> 00:19:38,706
Different strokes!

243
00:19:41,623 --> 00:19:43,664
Alrighty. Goodbye for real.

244
00:19:43,706 --> 00:19:48,664
Maybe next time we can have
sake over tea, eh? At my place!

245
00:20:04,623 --> 00:20:07,623
Nomari-chan was well behaved while you were away.

246
00:20:07,623 --> 00:20:08,623
That's good.

247
00:20:08,623 --> 00:20:10,664
Hey, sweet pea. How's it taste?

248
00:20:11,664 --> 00:20:13,623
Um, it's plain.

249
00:20:13,664 --> 00:20:17,664
Yep. There's no doubt that she's your kid, pal!

250
00:20:23,664 --> 00:20:24,664
Nomari.

251
00:20:29,706 --> 00:20:33,623
Who'd a thunk the big bad demon hunter
was such a doting dad!

252
00:20:33,623 --> 00:20:34,664
Say what you will.

253
00:20:35,623 --> 00:20:38,623
Well, I sure as heck ain't one to talk.

254
00:20:40,623 --> 00:20:41,664
Thanks for da food!

255
00:20:42,623 --> 00:20:43,664
Nicely done.

256
00:20:49,664 --> 00:20:50,664
Daddy!

257
00:20:51,664 --> 00:20:52,664
What's gotten into you?

258
00:21:00,622 --> 00:21:04,664
Whaddya say, pal?
Nothing quite like having a daughter, eh?

259
00:21:05,664 --> 00:21:06,622
Yeah.

260
00:21:07,622 --> 00:21:11,622
Fathers can't help but fret over their kids. I get that now.

261
00:21:12,664 --> 00:21:16,664
By the way, have you considered
that she might need a mother figure, too?

262
00:21:16,706 --> 00:21:19,622
I got the perfect candidate. You can have my Ofuu.

263
00:21:19,664 --> 00:21:20,706
Come off it, Dad!

264
00:21:20,706 --> 00:21:22,664
But I'm serious, Ofuu.

265
00:21:22,706 --> 00:21:24,664
We can talk about this later.

266
00:21:24,706 --> 00:21:29,622
You haven't been in the best shape lately.
Why not call it quits early and get some rest?

267
00:21:29,706 --> 00:21:32,622
Oh, worried about little ol' me?

268
00:21:32,664 --> 00:21:36,664
It's more that I can't clean the table off
if you just sit there forever.

269
00:21:37,622 --> 00:21:41,664
Ouch. Feels like Ofuu's been
on a real mean streak lately.

270
00:21:42,664 --> 00:21:47,622
Will a day come when Nomari
starts treating me like that, too?

271
00:21:50,622 --> 00:21:53,622
Gosh, it's a little early to be worried about that.

272
00:21:53,706 --> 00:21:56,622
Oh, Jinya-kun. You've really changed!

273
00:21:57,664 --> 00:21:58,664
Have I?

274
00:22:01,706 --> 00:22:02,706
I see.

275
00:22:04,622 --> 00:22:06,622
I'm glad it seems that way.
