In order to discover the truth
The evening news doesn't tell you
How many things aren't broadcast
Who loses
Who is obtaining it, and for whose sake
Being pure is a beautiful and dangerous thing
The world that surrounds us won't show itself
All it does is force a different truth from yesterday's on us
At the very least, I will try to change the feeling of the reality that is right in front of me
Into something certain, surely
I'm Asuka.
I was living with Yuuki in the city of Gald.
One day, I rescued Kai, who had washed up on the beach near our house.
But Kai was a psychic who could use mysterious powers!
Yuuki, how do you read this?
What?
"Psi-rating."
In short, it looks like it's a measure for whether someone's psychic powers are great or small.
Kai, whose psi-rating has declined, is sick,
so it looks like whenever he uses his powers, his head hurts.
Sick? Am I being misunderstood or something?
Kai, who now lives in my house, now works together with Yuuki.
Searching for people, capturing criminals, dressing up like women, they're very busy.
Is that wrong?
You were a beauty when you were dressed up like a woman, Kai.
I'm not going to wear women's clothing again.
I wonder about that?
What do you mean, "I wonder about that?"
What do you mean, "What do you mean?"
Don't fight!
And so, that's how I came to live with Kai and Yuuki.
All right, you did very well.
Episode Eight The Chronicle of the Rise and Fall of Tokugawa Ramen
I've cleared it.
That was quick.
This kind of code breaking is really low-level.
Yeah, well, I still wanted you to do it.
Okay, next one.
And to comply with your expectations, it's suitable for an expert.
What part of this is expert?
Right there, hold on a second...
It's faster to do that part this way.
You really do go by the book, don't you?
Don't you ever think of breaking out of the box?
Do you know what "playing it by ear" is?
Stop smacking me on the head!
Especially with something that's as strange-looking as that!
What are you, stupid? This is called a shaman wand.
It's a kind of ward against evil!
And when you turn it over...
Amazing! The warning of a rattlesnake comes out!
Yuuki, Kai, I'm home!
On the walk home, I picked up Muffin and Sweet Potato.
Look, look!
All I can see are dogs.
Sweet Potato?
I'm going to make tea now, okay? What do you two want to drink?
I'll have milk.
Water for me.
Tea! I said tea, so it's going to be tea!
Coffee, or tea, or green tea, or oolong tea!
That would involve you using fire in the kitchen, right?
I can at least make tea, I'm telling you!
Then I'll have coffee.
Me too.
Okay! I'll deliver it right away!
Asuka! The beans have already been ground!
And she turned it off.
This is bad. Asuka's gone into the kitchen.
Putting the tea aside, you should actually teach her how to cook.
You're as good as a pro, and it looks like Asuka wants to learn too.
Ow!
Would you mind not saying such thoughtless things so lightly?
Asuka's lack of cooking talent is a problem that extends beyond cooking.
When she steps into the kitchen,
strange things happen, as if the magnetic fields have gone wild.
One after the other...
Is it THAT bad?
I will leave that to your imagination.
That's what I'd like to say, but...
It's so bad, it's unimaginable.
I don't think it's because I raised her wrong...
Maybe she just grew up wrong?
What kind of unreasonable theory is that?
Well, even I think that it can't stay like this.
That's more like being her substitute mother than her substitute brother.
Her mother?
Don't say creepy things like that.
You're taking good care of her, right?
I wouldn't go that far.
I'm just keeping my dear younger sister by my side.
You'd normally keep her by your side, right?
That's right, you have a younger sister.
Yeah...
Don't worry about it. Everyone has their own way.
When it looks like you're going to get them caught up in something,
the difference is between protecting them from where you can see them,
and protecting them by distancing yourself from them.
I would choose to protect them with my own power.
Wouldn't it be better not to worry so much about protecting her?
My thinking that family members are like shackles
might be because I never had one to begin with.
Shackles? What do you mean, shackles?
I've never thought of them as shackles.
It's just that I want to be by Hikaru's side and protect her.
That's all.
Well, with that being that...
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Coffee delivery!
This is...
I tried a blend of beans and grounds!
A blend?
It smells nice, doesn't it?
It looks like sweet red bean soup...
Kai, if you're going to say those kind words,
then go ahead and drink it down in one shot.
Please, go ahead.
It's unusual for you to say you want to eat out, Yuuki.
I lost my desire to cook.
I wanted to go shopping too, so it was perfect timing.
Shopping?
Yeah, for clothes for Kai.
For me?
Yeah. You can't always wear Yuuki's clothes, right?
How about that?
Hey, Asuka!
Kai, come here! Try it on to see if it fits!
Okay.
Yuuki has a partner? First time I've heard that.
Recently, he's been moving around in a really flashy manner.
I smell something really big.
Isn't this just one of his whims?
In this city, there are only those who will let you profit, and those who won't.
We only work when it involves money.
That's true.
So what kind of food do you want to eat?
It's a ramen shop.
What's ramen?
Ramen is ramen.
It's a noodle soup.
Well, even if it has a reputation for being good, after all, it's...
Is this it, Asuka?
See, it's really popular, isn't it?
We're standing in THIS line?
Welcome! Three customers!
Right, three customers!
I used up a precious hour of my life...
This is too much of a wait!
What do you want?
This one, the one called the Deluxe.
Me too.
Me too, what?
Well... the Deluxe...
Well... What should I choose? What'll I do?
What's this? You had plenty of time to think about it,
but you STILL haven't decided?
I'm sorry.
She can't decide because none of them look good!
What?!
Here you go!
Let's see...
Is this really as good as they say?
It's not really all that good.
What did you say?!
The shop's flavour is praised by first-class celebrities!
We don't deal with people who don't understand the taste!
We're going home.
Yuuki?
I'll make ramen that's more delicious than the stuff here.
What are you saying, you amateur?
Don't underestimate amateurs.
Trying to make a fool of me?
Who the hell does he think he is?
Are you serious about this ramen challenge, Yuuki?
I'll make that shop regret its lousy service!
But Yuuki, will you be all right?
I'm no worse than he is. I can take all the time I need.
Which means that this will be decided by the ingredients!
Do you have a plan?
Swallows' nests. Do you know about them?
I've never had them, but aren't they expensive?
That's it.
There's a building in the east district that's half-sunken into the sea.
They're nesting in there.
It's dangerous to collect them, and normally I'd hesitate to do it,
but you'll be able to get it.
So all I have to do is get that?
That's right.
All right, go!
Jeez...
Ow!
Yuuki, am I supposed to get all of them?!
One nest is enough!
If you took all their homes, it would be a problem for the swallows!
Kai...
Hey, Rikumi.
Oh, it's you, Yuuki. What's going on?
I have a favor to ask of you, as a man of the sea.
I don't mind your asking, but business is business.
A while back, you let me eat some of that delicious deep-sea fish, right?
Oh, that.
Tell me where you can catch them.
I don't mind telling you,
but they're not something that an amateur can catch.
In that case, you won't charge much for the information, right?
What?!
Well, I'll tell you, so give it your best shot.
It's like a picnic! Isn't this fun?
This is the first time I've done this, so...
Kai?!
All right, let's try for the deep-sea fish next!
It's hard on Kai, making him do all the work, so I'm going to help too.
Help how?
I made sure to wear a swimsuit too.
Hey, wait a second!
I'm going to help!
Hey! Asuka!
Don't be so reckless. The ocean at Gald is cold.
Okay.
But you'll make me dive into it.
If you don't work, you don't eat.
Don't worry! I'll pay you for the work you do.
No, I mean...
Come on, change into this.
Ow!
Why?
I just felt like it.
All right, go!
Gotcha.
Kai!
Well, it'll probably turn out okay.
Here's some coffee, Kai.
Thank you...
Coffee?
Don't worry, I watched her make it.
I see.
It's sweet.
Is there too much sugar?
No, it's okay.
Now, then...
We've obtained our selected ingredients!
Now it's up to my skill alone!
Yuuki, you really don't want us to help?
No!
Especially you, Asuka, don't even come in the kitchen!
That's mean!
Now, now, let's wait over there.
Delicious! The line was worth it.
But the soup is a little heavy.
Starting now, the original Gald ramen shop is open!
Our ramen is full of Gald's specialty seafood!
It's a healthy and low-calorie dish!
You can't find this taste for this price anywhere else!
Hey, what should we do?
I can't wait anymore!
I'm okay with that one!
Me too!
Yuuki-ya Me too!
Yuuki-ya How about it? Original Gald ramen is delicious!
One Gald ramen.
Me too!
One with lots of scallions for me!
Coming right up! Welcome!
What in the world is he doing?
That bastard!
All right, here's the large,
and here's the one with egg!
Our ramen is fresh seafood ramen, so no matter how many you eat, it's still good!
It's delicious!
What is this?
Would you like some water?
Who are you?
He's so cute!
Hey, you!
Don't go stealing customers from in front of my shop!
Don't say stupid things!
They're coming here because it's more delicious than yours!
Before you make a complaint, try some of ours!
What the hell is this?!
Why, you! How dare you use high-quality ingredients to get such a rich flavour?!
You're selling this below cost, aren't you?
I'll have you know, I gathered all of these ingredients myself.
All it cost me was his labour costs. It was cheap!
You never said that it was cheap.
Shut up! Never mind, keep quiet!
Four more here, please!
A large for me!
An extra large for me!
Coming right up!
Wait a second, even our flavour is...
I like this one better!
It's a nice, refreshing flavour, you know?
All right, here's your ramen!
It's here, it's here!
Now, which place is better?
This place!
Oh my God!
I won.
Yuuki, the soup pot is spilling over!
Wait, Asuka!
I wonder if this is all right?
Yuuki, I'm sorry.
Yuuki, it's not like Asuka had any bad intentions, so...
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Yuuki, this is really delicious!
Didn't I tell you that I'd let you eat ramen that was better than theirs?
Yeah!
There's as many extra helpings as you want.
And I made you use your powers, Kai, so...
Come to think of it, I used my powers,
but I didn't get a headache, and I don't feel tired.
Well, dig in.
By the way, Yuuki...
What?
What about my pay?
And that's?
Payment in goods.
Eat it. It's a high-class delicacy. I won't let you complain.
Wait a second. I'm the one who collected this!
I won't let you complain!
What is with you?!
Delicious!
The two of us had already started to get wet from the rapidly pouring rain
We snuck out in a hurry, throwing away everything
We wrapped our fingers together so that no one else could see it
That's our secret sign
So take me away from here, take me right away
Tonight midnight
So don't stop anymore, touch me right away
Tonight, it's true love
The night that can't return is going to begin
Josephione...
As I hear that elegant name,
my heart pounds and trembles, and it even steals away my soul.
You are the one sent to me by God!
The incarnation of beauty! The fairy of the rose!
And the angel of love!
Oh, Josephione! I am your servant!
Well, next time, E's Otherwise, episode nine: Oh, Josephione! I am your servant!
"The Bewitched Soul" Oh, Josephione! I am your servant!
"The Bewitched Soul"
The Bewitched Soul "The Bewitched Soul"
The Bewitched Soul Or so it seems.
The Bewitched Soul Josephione!
The Bewitched Soul Shut up! Josephione!
The Bewitched Soul Shut up!
