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
Apparently, you need a weapon here
to defeat a Demon that is ranked above a certain level.
So I hear...
Can you...
...please teach me how to use a sword?
Is this... so you can live?
It's so I can do... what I've set out to do in my life.
Syaoran...
In your case, it's not you won't die, but more like, you can't die.
I'll kill anybody who tries to take me down.
I'll also kill anybody who tries to steal what I've set out to protect with my life.
I can't even remember how many I've killed.
I'm not even gonna try to sugarcoat it.
But... those who still have lives to live,
but don't make the effort to live them...
...are the ones I despise the most in this world.
In that case, I must be the type of person you hate the most.
"The Afternoon Piano"
Your breakfast looks weird, Kuro-rin.
It's strange for me to say this seeing that I made it,
but it doesn't go with the café's atmosphere at all.
Thank you for the meal.
Sure thing.
Let's go.
Right.
Where are Kuro-pon and Syaoran going?
In order for Syaoran-kun to do what he needs to do,
he asked Kuro-wanko to teach him how to use the sword.
What is that?
The two Doggies' lunches.
Did you forget to give it to them?
Hmm...
Good morning!
Morning, Sakura-chan!
Syaoran-kun!
Princess...
This is from Fai-san. He said to have it for lunch.
Thank you very much.
Where are you going so early in the morning?
Don't worry.
But...
I heard from Fai!
Syaoran's going to learn how to use the sword from Kuro-wanko, right?
Really?
Yes...
Why?
Fai said it's so he can do what he needs to do.
What you need to do?
It's to find your feathers, Princess.
But I'm also doing it for me.
Syaoran-kun.
Oh man...
This is it.
"Cho-an"
Excuse us.
I'm looking for swords.
For yourself?
For both of us.
Are you officially registered Demon Hunters?
Yes. Um... our names are...
All right. This one will be good for you.
A long sword, huh?
You must be used to them.
How can you tell?
I've been at this for a long time. The name of the sword is Souhi.
Souhi, huh? (Souhi = "Blue Ice")
I like it.
Now, for you... You have no experience with a sword, right?
Right.
However...
I can see a fire in your eyes.
Song Yong, get that one.
Yes, right away.
Masayoshi-kun?!
Or more like his kudan!
Huh? W-What is it?
Do you know each other?
N-No...
I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.
It's hard to handle, but you may be able to master it.
Its name is Hien. (Hien = "Scarlet Flame")
Hien...
And now let's get down to payment.
- Boy, you don't waste any time! - Ah, r- right...
I want to say this upfront.
There will be no discounts!
Thank you very much!
Jeez, that ol' geezer really didn't give us a break.
I don't know much about swords, but even I can tell that this is an amazing sword.
Yeah, that's why...
Until the time comes,
don't pull this sword from its scabbard.
A sword doesn't choose its owner. If the one who uses it is unskilled,
that inexperience may cause him to cut something that was not meant to be cut.
Like himself...
Or like the one he should be protecting...
Until you are capable of cutting only the things that should be cut,
do not draw that sword.
All right.
Now, let's begin with the things you need to do to be able to draw that sword.
Yes, please teach me.
All right, looks good.
Okay then, is here all right?
- Yay! - Yay! - Yay!
Yes, thank you!
Okay, please sign here.
All righty.
Miss, have we met before?
Okay, thank you!
What's this?
It's an instrument called a piano.
I saw it at an antique shop in the back alley. I splurged and bought it.
Piano?
Fai, can you play?
Ready?
But just having this here really enhances the mood of the café, doesn't it?
Whoa!
Just as I thought. You have different reaction times for the right and the left.
I have a hard time with my right.
It's the other way around.
It's true. You tend to react slower on your right side.
But on the other hand,
because you've learned to move according to what you sense,
at times, you react quicker than you do on your left.
You tend to rely on vision alone on your left side.
First off, we gotta get you reacting the same way on both sides,
or you won't be able to use this sword.
Please, let's try it again.
Two chiffon cake sets. Coming right up.
Excuse me, can you take my order?
Yes, I'll be right there!
It seems like Sakura-chan's working harder than usual.
Good job, Sakura!
I wonder what's gotten into her?
Herb tea, please.
All right.
"Clover"
I wonder why...
I'm feeling the same power as the one that comes from those that threaten this world.
Welcome!
Delicious!
Well sure, this is the café everyone's been talking about.
Uh, um...
Yes?
May I talk to you for a second?
Yes?
A legend?
Yes, that's right.
Are you collecting legends, Miss?
Yes. I'm also collecting stories
about mysterious or strange happenings in this country.
Do you know of any?
Well, let's see...
I get it now. Sakura-chan's starting to do what she needs to do, too.
What do you mean?
She's collecting information about the feathers.
After all, that's the reason why we started this café in the first place.
That's why Sakura-chan was so full of energy.
Do you know anything?
Sakura looks like she's having fun.
Maybe it's because she found what she needs to do.
Don't rely on your vision. Use the eyes of your soul to sense your surroundings.
All right.
Are you going out?
I have to go to City Hall and exchange this.
But Fai-san, your leg...
I'll stop by the doctor, too. You two take care of the café while I'm gone, okay?
Okay. Fai-san, you be careful too, okay?
No customers...
I know...
Mokona's getting sleepy...
Spinning... spinning... I'm like a balloon...
What a beautiful sound...
Welcome!
Here you go.
Thank you.
I'm writing a song.
A song?
May I borrow that?
What a nice piano. It seems a waste to let it just sit here.
What is your name?
Um... Little Kitty.
Not your name here, your real name.
It's Sakura.
I see. Well, Sakura-san, may I hear your song?
I can't sing...
Don't worry. We're in Outo Country.
Songs are mirrors that reflect who we are, Sakura-san.
Where did you come from? Why are you here?
And where are you going from here?
What is something that is dear to you?
The thing that is dear to me is...
Cheeks wet from the rain smelled like tears.
The traveler with the gentle eyes.
A familiar music quietly echoes.
Lost memories, wandering about.
Dreams take flight atop small feathers.
The two of us, to a place where memories never disappear.
Crossing over the distant sky and the ocean.
In the darkness of the night, it shines on me,
and on you, with the gentle eyes.
I miss you...
I understand you well now, Sakura-san.
I look forward to seeing you again.
"Closed Cat's Eye"
Thanks for looking after the café today, you two.
Mokona took a nap, so I didn't work too much.
Welcome ba- Syaoran-kun!
Syaoran, you're all injured!
Did you run across some Demons again?
Oh, no. I'm going to go change.
Sakura-chan, here.
Okay!
Syaoran-kun?
Syaoran's already sleeping.
He must've been exhausted.
Oh, my...
Sakura-chan worked so hard today.
The squirt's still gotta long way to go.
Shall we leave them like this for a little while?
Identification code NDC726191P...
Confirmed name is "Sakura."
No direct point of contact has been established with the "mediator".
Proceed as usual.
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! Syaoran, hard at training, reunites with Ryuou.
Kuro-pon and Fai gather information at the mysterious songstress' shop.
Amidst all this, something is happening to Sakura! Where are you going, Sakura?
Huh? The new type of Demon finally shows itself?
Wait until you see its true identity!
