Haruna, I'll be relying on you while I'm away visiting my village.
Relying on me for what?
I need you to protect Madame Hellscythe from anything perverted Ayumu might try to pull.
No problem, just leave it to me!
I'll take good care of her in your place, Leaf Girl!
You sound just like her big sister.
Big sister...
Yeah, that's right!
When we looked into each other's eyes, time stood still
Our story began on a moonlit night
Rock'n'Roll
The key to leave it all behind is a sin
Don't be afraid, leave it to your impulses
There will be an answer soon
It's true
With clumsy steps
we dance together
Then we pretend to stumble
and our breathing is one
Let the storms rage and lightning crack
We are full of passion
The angels play a strange melody
Light flashes in the conscious parts of our illusions
We were the ones who cut a path to a nameless future
With all we have we will make it past these daunting days
Necromancer of the Underworld, Eucliwood Hellscythe.
A girl of destiny who possesses great magical power.
As her peaceful days draw to a close,
a terrible omen looms on the horizon...
Yes, it's all the rage every year.
I was supposed to be at work today.
What were they thinking, calling us back so suddenly just to take our measurements?
I'm sure the elders have their reasons.
There are too many strange goings-on in that city right now.
Is that so?
Hold still, please.
That tickles!
Vampire ninjas must be in perfect shape at all times.
Those whose sizes have changed should reflect on themselves!
Flabbiness is the enemy!
Now, let's move on to the main issue.
And yet...
I never thought Sera being away would leave me with this much to do.
With the sun out, shopping's out of the question.
And there's not much left in the house, either.
Hey, Haruna, could you go shopp—
I'm busy right now.
Sure doesn't look like it.
Wow, you peel them so cleanly.
Thanks, Eu.
It's great!
I hate the white bits on the outside.
I peeled off every last little white bit just for you, Big Bro!
This is the imagination of our weak-willed protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu. (CV * Kozakura Etsuko)
Really? Yeah, the pith makes it taste a little bitter, doesn't it?
What's wrong?
I'm okay. It's nothing.
I'm totally fine, Big Bro! Don't you worry about me!
This is the imagination of our weak-willed protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu. (CV * Kozakura Etsuko)
Aww, aren't you adorable?
Eu?
I've finished vacuuming.
Eu, let me feel your forehead for a sec.
Eu!
Necromancer!
She's burning up.
Haruna! Get some ice!
Ok!
Hey, be careful!
I-I know!
She's drenched in sweat.
Better change her clothes...
Did I just let my dirty thoughts get the better of me?
This is the imagination of our weak-willed protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu. (CV * Kozakura Etsuko)
Big Bro, this is embarrassing!
No, no, no!
I have only the purest of intentions!
At this rate, she'll catch a chill from the sweat.
And Haruna isn't here at the moment.
Yes, yes. I have to do this.
It's not like I want to touch Eu while she's all hot and sweaty!
It's not like that at all!
Meditation mode!
I'll abandon worldly desires and reach enlightenment!
Ah, she's so stiff!
Don't worry! I'll make you more comfortable, Eu!
I've reached enlightenment.
I can do it. Calm down.
I can do it!
She's a bit unsteady...
I-Is this...
Please be gentle, Big Bro.
This is the imagination of our weak-willed protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu. (CV * Kozakura Etsuko)
Sorry! I'm sorry, Eu!
What? You're over there?
Huh? Where am I touching?
Aren't these her shoulders?
Strange.
There should be two guiding lines here.
Guiding Lines = Bra Strap
That means...
Impossible! N-No bra?!
Big Bro, I'm really cold!
This is the imagination of our weak-willed protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu. (CV * Kozakura Etsuko)
Won't you warm me up with your body?
I bought some ice!
What the hell are you doing,
you stupid perverted rocking-horse?!
But... But...
Can you manage some gruel?
Sounds like I'd better make you some, then.
Eggruel!
Eu.
Just wait a bit.
The gruel will be ready in no time.
I don't mind getting sick if I get to eat Haruna's gruel.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm a little bit envious.
You sound just like her big sister.
Maybe we should take her to a doctor.
But Eu's a denizen of the Underworld...
Would it be okay to bring her to a human doctor?
Wait a moment. Denizen of the Underworld?
Oh right!
Hello, Anderson?
Do you have a minute?
Aikawa? What's up?
Eu's got a fever.
Fever?
So I was wondering if it would be okay to take her to a human doctor.
Denizens of the Underworld only catch diseases specific to them.
It'd be useless.
I see.
If there's anything I can do, please tell me.
I'm counting on you. She looks like she's suffering.
Are you prepared to do whatever it takes, Aikawa?
Without asking why?
Yeah, no matter what!
Okay.
Once, when I fell sick, I felt a lot better after someone yodeled for me.
Yodel?!
Take a deep breath, Aikawa.
Then strip down to your underwear and do some sidesteps.
Just my underwear?!
With more passion! With more speed!
Throw away your humanity!
How is it, Eu?
Do you feel any better?
It's not working! Anderson!
There's more. Next, get on all fours,
and blow gently while shaking your hips.
Blow gently?!
Don't question it. Just do it.
It's ready!
What the heck are you doing?!
Burn in Hell, you stupid pervorse!
Pervorse = Perverted Horse
I'm tired as well!
But I'm doing everything I can to help her!
Why the hell do you have to be such a creepy weirdo?!
Dumbass idiot Ayumu! Idiot assdumb!
Anderson told me to do it!
Sorry. Ayumu was acting so noble that I just had to mess with him a little.
Anderson?!
But I bet that relieved some of your stress, right?
Whether they're from here or the Underworld,
everyone wants their friends and family close by when things get tough.
That's the best medicine.
You're right.
Just let her rest. She'll be all right after a good night's sleep.
Okay, got it.
Here. Can you eat this?
Good. Looks like she's sleeping soundly.
I'm sure Eu will be back to normal by tomorrow.
What is it?
Eu?!
What's wrong? You have to sleep!
Is it okay if I sleep with you?
We've lived together all this time,
but this is the first time we've been this close to each other...
I can feel Eu breathing so close to me...
But I have to let her rest properly.
Ayumu.
Wh-What's up, Ms. Haruna?
I can't find the Necromancer anywhere.
And I just got hold of what I needed...
Huh? Got hold of what?
It was a real pain pulling this guy out of the ground.
I can imagine.
But shouldn't you give it a rest?
Really? Everyone in Virie knows these are good for what ails you.
Eu's from the Underworld, though...
Oh. Well, I've got this too.
It's to keep her hands from getting cold.
I don't see you do this often.
Going to such lengths for Eu, I mean.
I-It's not like I...
She's like a younger sister to me, so it goes without saying!
Anyway, I'm just doing this because Leaf Girl asked me to.
Don't get the wrong idea!
You sure worked hard today.
Shut up!
I just have to give that to Eu, right?
Sorry!
Oh, so that's where she was.
You're not gonna get angry?
Well, I'll let her borrow you at times like these.
It's not like you're gonna try any funny business, right?
Of course not!
What do you think I am?
You're like a rubber ducky floating in the bath!
Here!
You should stay by her side,
at least when she's suffering.
Okay. I got it.
See you!
It's freezing!
Why are you sleeping together with Eu?!
Yo, good morning.
Anderson?
I was worried about Eucliwood.
Oh, right! How's Eu?
Eu, are you okay?
No problem.
I'm fine! Thanks for worrying about me, Big Bro!
And yet, given that she hasn't fully recovered even after a day of rest...
Her illness must be pretty serious.
Let's see. Excuse me.
These symptoms..
What's wrong?
See here? These orange, petal-like marks?
It can't be...
Aikawa, did you feed tangerine peels to Eucliwood?
Anderson...
Just joking.
You peeled off all the pith, right?
Tangerine pith is poisonous to Underworld denizens like us.
Poisonous?
That reminds me...
I hate the white bits on the outside.
But Eu peeled off all the white bits!
There are always tiny bits that you can't peel away.
So it's still dangerous to eat too many.
That's right, Eu was eating frozen tangerines all day...
That reminds me.
If denizens of the Underworld eat the forbidden fruit,
they develop a fever, and marks appear on their bodies.
That's right.
To the denizens of the Underworld,
the pith of tangerines is known as Adam and Eve's forbidden pith.
Forbidden pith?
Is there any way to cure her?
I don't remember.
Hey!
I have a few ideas, though.
Me too.
Then let's try them out, one by one.
Process of elimination, huh?
I can't let Eu take part in something like this.
I'll do it.
Eu...
I don't want to make you worry about me any more.
Sarasvati,
regarding our prior discussion...
The strongest monster.
Yes. Even I could not ascertain its true form.
Its intentions are unknown.
Keep an eye on that town—
No, on Aikawa Ayumu.
I accept.
My skin feels so smooth!
Swimming here is banned, Maelstrom.
Don't be so strict, Seraphim.
Backstroke?
If I remember correctly, she has to drink tea while turning the cup around.
Sounds more like a cure for hiccups...
I'll try it.
No, from what I remember she needs to put kelp on her head and get punched in the belly while doing a Y-balance!
That's taking rough treatment a bit far!
What kind of cure is that, anyway?!
Actually, that method does exist.
It's true.
If Eu says so herself, then I guess...
Bah! We'll try everything we can!
Sorry! I'm so sorry!
It's not working.
I also heard of a cure where you bathe in water covered with soy flour at 46°C for 36 minutes.
That's right, and there's also that one where you put piles of salt on your head!
Wasn't putting CDs under your armpits and eating spinach supposed to be an antidote?
What else...
That's it! I can't remember anything else!
Get wrapped in a curtain and binge on cola?
Oh!
You actually got better?
So, which one of them worked in the end?
Putting that aside, isn't it great that she recovered?
Sera'll probably be speechless when she gets back.
I'll clean up later.
It's all thanks to me!
You should be grateful, Necromancer.
Haruna, isn't your face a bit red?
Is it?
Let me feel your forehead for a sec.
As I thought.
Anderson, could Haruna have it too?
That illness only affects the denizens of the Underworld.
Then...
It's just a common cold.
Geniuses don't get colds!
Well, they say there's a fine line between geniuses and something else.
What do you mean, "something else"?!
I'm fine.
I'm tired as well!
But I'm doing everything I can to help her!
Sorry, Haruna.
I'll take care of Haruna. I'm like an older sister to her, after all.
D-Don't mess around! I'm the older sis—
Stay still.
I'll lay out a futon for you.
Wait! It's not like I'm—
Rest quietly.
Back then, you were talking about yourself as well.
You should stay by her side,
at least when she's suffering.
You got on that bed with Eu because you wanted someone by your side.
You must have been tired.
But I was completely focused on Eu.
Stop it! I can change by myself!
She was probably just trying to make sure we didn't worry about her as well.
Let go!
Hey, wait! Hey!
You'll just make your cold worse, wearing clothes like that.
I'm bac—
Let go!
Strip!
You perverted piece of shit!
Secret technique, "Swallow Pervert Reversal"!
There's a limit to how perverted you can be!
Welcome back.
Welcome back, Sera.
Ayumu, gruel!
If you're gonna be my servant, you'd better be useful!
Ayumu's my servant.
If we're making gruel, allow me.
I have the key ingredient right here!
Dessicated geezer.
Oh, that root.
I believe that's one of Virie's folk remedies.
Everyone knows it?
Hold on a second, Haruna.
I'll sterilize it right now.
Are you treating me as the ingredient?!
I can't move
He's touching me
The distance between us presses down on my heart
Even the chatter all around me seems distant and all is frozen
On the girl that can sleep in a clamorous forest
falls a rain so bittersweet it brings the flowers to bloom
My love is so innocent the entire world is jealous
Why won't I look back to you?
I want to tell you of my love, but my mask is in the way
I want to take it off and embrace you
But I can't
Love is new to me
I made some gruel for Big Bro!
Let's make it easier to eat by cooling it down.
Cool it, cool it!
(CV: Koyama Kimiko, Kouda Mariko, Kozakura Etsuko)
One, two,
Blow, blow!
It's not cooling down much...
Blow, blow!
Hey!
Original Eu!
I'll do it too!
Eh?
Blow, blow!
More!
Blow, blow!
More, more!
Blow, blow! Blow, blow!
More, more, more, more!
Next time: Hell no! I shoulda won!
Blow, blow! Blow, blow! Blow, blow!
