We're chasing dreams without end in a world without a guide.
These overlapping feelings pierce the beating of my heart
as the unwavering verse quietly goes on.
From far away in the sky, our shadows blur together
as our memories are recorded amid inevitability and whimsy.
Even if the whirlpools of time we pass through,
were to waste away, I'll still believe in your voice.
We're chasing dreams without end in a future without a guide.
And even if I lose my light, someday,
with the twinkling flame you lit in my heart,
these fragments of hope will change into wings
Oh, they've appeared!
Your right eye is...
I know that. But, my feelings won't change.
You've defeated them already, haven't you?
That was our prey.
"Kitties and Doggies"
Good evening. I'm Nekoi Yuzuriha, 14. I am a Demon Hunter. And this is my partner...
I'm Siyu Kusanagi.
That was tremendous. The kick and blade techniques both.
Not at all...
That's a very ordinary blade. It doesn't seem to suit your skill.
Really? This is not one I chose. He bought it.
Hello.
Demon hunting is based on two to a team. Didn't they tell you that at City Hall?
I'm sort of a spectator.
Could it be that you are the newly registered Demon Hunters? Those ones?
Those ones?
You bastard!
Now, now, calm down!
How can I calm down?!
Kuro-pon is angry for some reason!
What in the world happened?
It's our... names...
Names?
Actually, when Fai-san registered our names at City Hall...
Fai-san, t- that's...
The girl at City Hall said we could use aliases.
But I don't know how to write in this country's language, so... I drew this...
Kuro-pon's name is "Big Doggie."
And I wrote Syaoran-kun's name as...
"Little Doggie."
And, this is mine and Sakura-chan's.
"Big Kitty" and "Little Kitty."
That's why I drew a cat on the café sign.
I see, so that's it!
I'm going to crack open that ridiculously crazy head of yours,
and wash it out good and clean!
Oh, Big Doggie's mad!
Good evening!
Oh, what a cute shop. How wonderful to have a house like this, Little Doggie.
Ah, no... Um...
Something smells good.
I tried making a chocolate cake.
We don't open until tomorrow, but would you like to try it?
I'd love to!
It's awfully nice of you, Big Doggie.
It's not Big Doggie!!
Delicious!
That's good. Mokona suggested I serve whipped cream on the side.
Whipped cream on the side makes it even better.
I'll have to tell all the other Demon Hunters that there's a great new shop opening.
Here you are.
Thank you.
You've just come to this country recently, haven't you?
Yes, yesterday.
The night we arrived, we were attacked by a Demon. It was terrible.
Demons have ranks based on their strength.
"Demon Ranking Table"
Demon ranking begins with A as the strongest,
then down the line with B, C, D, E, F and G.
Each rank is then divided into 5 levels.
For example, a Demon of Rank E, Level 1 would be the strongest of Rank E,
and Rank E, Level 5 would be the weakest.
So the strongest Demon would be Rank A, Level 1.
That's right. All the Demon Hunters are working hard
to defeat that Rank A, Level 1 Demon.
That means, the Rank C, Level 5 one that came yesterday
was just a little better than average?
That's strange.
They would have to be Rank B, Level 1 or higher to enter a house.
It seems that Demons have appeared nearby.
Thank you. How much do I owe you?
It's free today. However, in return, will you come again and tell us more?
Okay, we'll be sure to come.
See you soon!
Yes. Soon.
Looks like we already have potential regulars already.
Mokona, do you feel the feather?
I do, but it's really weak. So I can't tell where it is... Sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
Demon hunting helps to gather information, too.
So, I'm sure we'll hear something that will help.
But, you might get hurt.
Thank you for worrying about me, Mokona.
Mokona will work real hard to sense the wavelength of the feather!
Princess Sakura...
Fai-san taught me that chocolate is a hot drink.
Thank you.
I'm sorry...
Princess?
What I said... back then...
Back then?
Right now, you have lost your memories,
and we are traveling to different worlds in order to gather those memories again.
Are you alone?
No, there are others who are traveling with us.
And you are with them?
Yes.
Even though you don't know me?
You're not someone I don't know, are you?
After all, you're risking your life to find my feathers,
getting hurt, working so late in the night...
And yet... I'm sorry...
When did you and I first meet, Syaoran-kun?
Could it be that you know me from when we were children?
And that you're really a very, very important person to me-
Princess!
What... were we talking about... just now?
That's right... I wanted to say I'm sorry...
What was that, just now?
It means that the price he paid is not so light...
Even if someone were to tell her what happened before she lost her memory,
the memory quickly disappears within Sakura-chan.
It happens even when Sakura-chan tries to remember on her own...
Syaoran-kun may have known that this would happen.
Whenever Sakura-chan regains a feather and part of her memory,
even when she senses her previous relationship with Syaoran-kun,
the compensation he offered is never returned.
So that's why he's never told the Princess what their relationship was before.
Even so, he will do what he's decided he'd do.
Someday... when I get back all the feathers...
I'll be able to remember you, Syaoran-kun... surely...
Even though I'm not in those memories... I will get back the feathers.
Good morning.
I'm sorry. Today's our first day and I overslept.
It's okay. I haven't decided what time to open the shop yet...
I'll be sure to get up on time starting tomorrow.
Where is everybody?
If you mean Syaoran-kun and the rest, they went to City Hall.
Some Demons appeared nearby again last night.
They defeated them, so they went to collect their reward.
Last night?
Yeah.
I didn't notice at all.
You were fast asleep, Sakura-chan.
Did anyone get hurt?
Syaoran-kun did, a little...
Worried?
Yes... Syaoran-kun is working so hard looking for my memories,
but I can't do anything.
And Syaoran-kun... sometimes looks so lonely...
Very clever...
There is something you can do, you know. Smile for him.
Sakura-chan, your smiling face is Syaoran-kun's treat.
And Sakura-chan, your treat is this...
You're hungry, aren't you? Enjoy.
Thank you.
Delicious!
That's good.
You're fantastic, Fai-san. You can draw, and even cook!
Drawing pictures is essential to magic,
and cooking is the same as magic potions and implements.
Syaoran-kun and Mokona were happy, but...
...you know Big Doggie...
A cold?
No.
Someone must be gossiping about you. Whoo! Whoo!
It's probably that wimpy magician.
Geez, feeding us that sweet stuff so early in the morning...
But it tasted good.
It tasted good to Mokona, too!
Good morning. You did very well last night again.
May I have your token?
Sure.
I will deposit last night's bounty. The official registration is complete,
so starting tonight, it will be automatically deposited in the token.
So, from now on, you won't have to come here each time.
- I understand. - Wow!
If there is anything you don't understand, come any time.
In that case... I have a question...
What could it be?
Is there anything unusual in this country? Incidents, and so forth.
It doesn't have to be anything recent. For example, folklore...
That type of question should be asked of an information monger.
Didn't you say we were to come here if we had questions?
That's the way it is.
That's the way it is!
What... so now we go and look for an information monger?
Well, we got a detailed map.
They should have given that to us the first time we went there.
Giving it to us in bits and pieces...
That's it over there.
It looks suspicious...
Don't say that, Kurogane!
What's that?!
Ha ha, baiting you!
Don't you laugh at me!
Are you?
The information monger, Eriy.
First, tell me your names.
You registered when you came to this country, didn't you?
I absolutely refuse to say it.
Hurry up and answer!
It's Big Doggie, and Little Doggie.
Oh, so you're the ones...
You know about us?
Of course, I'm an information monger, after all.
So, what is it you want to know?
Have there been any incidents or accidents recently?
There are incidents and accidents all the time.
Unusual folklore is okay, too.
Let's see...
The movement of the Demons is a little odd.
They're appearing where they shouldn't,
and are more rampant during daylight hours. Also...
...it seems a new variety has appeared.
A new variety?!
I don't know the details yet.
It's only the word of witnesses,
and none of the Demon Hunters has fought with them. Only...
It is said to be a very beautiful Demon.
Do you want to talk to a person who has met it?
Yes...
Go to this place. Tell them that Information Monger Eriy sent you.
"Musical Lounge" "Clover"
They'll let you meet the witness.
"Musical Lounge" "Clover"
Why do I have to go with you?!
I wanted Syaoran-kun to have a treat...
What?
Mmm... never mind...
I don't understand...
It's not strange?
Mm-mm.
It's crooked.
Thank you.
Don't be... lonesome...
W- while Fai-san's away, we're in charge of the cafe, okay?
Yes...
Yay! Good evening, Yuko!
Good evening. Is it night over there?
Uh-huh. Thank you for the Fondant au Chocolat.
We all had some. They were very tasty.
That's good.
But Kurogane said you wouldn't send anything for free, Yuko,
and refused to eat any.
Then Fai just shoved some in his mouth.
Even a mouthful means he ate some, doesn't it?
I'll be waiting expectantly on White Day.
"February 15" "Saturday" I'll be waiting expectantly on White Day.
"February 15" "Saturday" The return must be double.
"February 15" "Saturday" If it's late it should be triple. That's standard.
Someone must be gossiping about you. Whoo! Whoo!
Don't talk like that white manju bun!
Is this really the way?
Huh? What?
Ha! You fell for it...
Stand still! I'll dispatch you to the other world!
I'm not falling for the same trick twice.
This time, it was for real.
Huh? I'd heard this road was not a place the Demons appeared...
This is what the information monger was talking about...
You Demons...
I'm tired of this, so all of you attack at once!
The weather's very nice, isn't it, Little Doggie?
Yes it is... Little Kitty...
I just can't get used to these names.
Yes, but they are our names in this country,
so we have to get used to them quickly...
Syaoran! Sakura! Come over here!
"Cat's Eye"
What's this?
How do you read it?
It says "Cat's Eye."
When I told Yuko we opened a café, she decided on the name.
Isn't it a cute name?
Yes, it is...
Hello, welcome to Cat's Eye!
You do that very well, Sakura.
Thank you.
There is something you can do, you know. Smile for him.
Sakura-chan, your smiling face is his treat.
When I laugh, Syaoran-kun smiles.
When Syaoran-kun smiles, it makes me feel good.
It would be nice if the two of us could always have smiles together from now on...
Looks like we're in a bit of a pinch. What shall we do, Big Doggie?
I told you to stop calling me that name!
You know, when this town is bathed in twilight,
there will be a little seed that drops from your hand.
If you can call this trodden-down dirt a road,
does closing my eyes count as love?
If this world had been flat,
the two of us would never have met.
We were both running to keep our distance.
But now, without reducing speed,
no matter how far apart we are,
as the miracle repeats itself,
we will come face to face again.
We will come face to face again.
Puu! Attacked by the Demons, it looks like Kuro-rin and Fai are in trouble.
Back at home, Syaoran and Sakura are also in a pinch.
A mysterious Demon Hunter suddenly attacks them!
Huh? You say Syaoran makes a momentous decision?
Just wait until you see what he makes his mind up to do!
