Sakai Yuji's father, Kantarou, returns home unannounced.
The story of his relationship with Chigusa he had from when he was young,
and the story of what it means to others.
With advice from them, Shana and Yoshida form clear pictures of their feelings toward Yuji as the Seishuu Festival approaches.
Morning, Chigusa-san.
Good morning, Kantarou-san.
Let's have our breakfast, shall we?
Where's Yuji?
He already ate and went to school.
Wow, he heads out early.
He said he is busy with preparations for the culture festival.
Apparently there won't be any more classes, and students will be staying at school starting today.
They work hard, don't they?
Itadakimasu.
Are you all right?
It's at an angle!
To your left...
Up a little more.
Just a little more.
Okay, good.
We're one desk short.
Go steal one from the library.
Okay.
I'm taking care of it.
Someone give me a hand!
Get me another thumbtack.
Here.
This is totally wrong.
What? Relationship issues?
It's really looking like everything's coming together.
Yeah...
What's wrong? Did something happen?
No, not really.
Why me?
Even I don't know.
Hey, I said silver!
You've got to paint that silver.
Not gold.
My bad.
I probably shouldn't think about it too much.
Ready, and...
All right. Now we wait for the crepe plate to arrive.
Hey.
You think Ane-san will come?
Seishuu Festival?
What kind of Tomogara is that?
No, it's not a Tomogara.
It's a festival at our school.
Will they be serving alcohol?
Like heck they will.
It's high school.
Then it doesn't matter to me.
I bet not.
Yeah.
Konoe-san, are you feeling well now?
You don't have to push yourself, okay?
Thank you for your concern.
How is it going there, Shana-chan?
I'll help you if you need anything.
I'm doing fine.
...your heart should tell you what you should do.
If you're lost, then stick your hand out.
Then, you can reach for something.
I can't reach!
No, I can't reach.
Cut from your side.
Okay.
All right!
One down!
No way. That was fast.
Are you sure you didn't cut corners?
What are you talking about?
It's for Tanaka, and it's only the Lion, so this is enough.
Definitely!
It might be funny when Tanaka wears it.
Ah, good timing!
Come here, Tanaka.
What?
Hey, what are you...
What is this? You fit it way too well!
He's hilarious, isn't he, Oga-chan?
I like it.
I'm going to go get a breath of fresh air.
Hey, watch out!
I'm sorry!
So Oga-chan doesn't care about anything if it's Tanaka.
But, you know...
It really feels like it's here.
He's saying it again.
Seriously, you guys look dazzling when there are no classes.
Hey, Ike.
You look dead even before anything's started.
The activity board's job must be hard.
But, maybe you're working too hard?
Not me...
I'm not the one that's working too hard.
After we give out the fliers, we go meet the shopping district council.
After that is checking the events program and confirming that with the PA staff.
Fujita-san, you look so lively.
Do I?
It's my first time doing anything as important as the activity board, so I'm making sure I don't drag you down.
You're doing great.
After we take this equipment, we'll go check the parade course.
Then go check out the progress of each class, followed by reporting to the Chair of the Activity Board.
You're really working hard, Fujita-san.
Yup. Since I don't want to be dead weight for you.
No, you really aren't.
When the lodging area is ready, we need to make sure the stands aren't breaking any standards, then make questionnaires for the day.
And of course we print them out when they're ready.
Um, Fujita-san...
No sweat!
I'll be sure not to trouble you.
No, um...
Oh no!
I haven't reserved parking spots for visitors!
Sounds like a tough job.
Oh yeah, Ike-kun.
This.
I thought everyone would be busy, so I brought something that can be eaten quick.
Have some if you like.
That's our Kazumi! Thoroughly prepared.
Yoshida-san!
Thank you!
Itadakimasu!
There he is!
Ike-kun, come with me for a second.
The band and mandolin clubs are arguing over how much time they have on stage.
He's approaching his limits.
It's Ike's destiny.
The mandolin club has the stage from ten to eleven.
Let's go, Ike-kun.
See you tomorrow, Konoe-san.
Thank you for sending me off.
No, I was thinking how fun it would be if I could sleep over with everyone.
Yeah, since you don't have much of a chance to sleep overnight at school.
I brought playing cards with me. Are you sure you don't want to sleep over, Konoe-san?
Yeah, stay.
Thank you for your invitation, but Milady isn't in perfect health yet.
Now, excuse us.
Hey, girls over there!
1-2 gets the shower room at six.
There are people waiting to go in after us, so hurry up.
Oh, it's already that time?
Let's go, Oga-chan.
Yeah.
L-Later, Tanaka.
Y-Yeah.
I can reach if I stick my hand out.
My heart will tell me what I should do.
Oh, looks like they've gotten bigger, Yoshida-kun.
N-No, they haven't.
You don't have to hide it.
Help me, Fujita-san!
I'm sorry, I don't have my glasses on right now.
Give it up!
There!
Hey, Nakamura!
It's crowded in here, so keep it down!
Do I need more fat on my body?
Shana-chan.
Grab.
Nakamura!
Shana-chan.
Are you awake?
What?
Thank you for the other day.
You will do Romeo and Juliet with Yoshida Kazumi.
Do you understand?
It doesn't bother me.
But I won't lose.
I'm not sad.
Back then, Sakai-kun was only looking at you.
Maybe even Sakai-kun didn't notice he was, but I noticed.
But I didn't take it sadly.
I take things as they are right now,
since Sakai-kun and Shana-chan have been fighting together all this time.
But I won't lose.
...since Sakai-kun and Shana-chan have been fighting together all this time.
I'll help you.
The crepe stand started needing less attention.
Number 5, the road to the station...
This one?
Shana?
Nothing.
I've been fighting alongside Yuji all along.
And I will continue to.
It's done!
Try it on, Kazumi.
No, it's fine.
Come on, put it on for us.
I'm sure it'll look good.
It's fine, really.
Don't say that and try it on.
Dear Lord.
Note: These lines appear to be based on Romeo's lines in Act II, Scene VI.
Let our hands stay together.
Then we shall prove we can fight against the fear of death that stands against our love.
It's one of Romeo's lines.
One from when the two are being toyed with by destiny.
That was amazing, Konoe-san!
You've read Shakespeare?
Fight against...
I've never heard of a Tomogara with a silver flame.
As long as you understand what that means.
Yeah.
Alastor. I...
Flame Haze can also love humans.
Your heart shall tell you what to do at the critical moment.
Just like the Sakai family matron said.
I've just returned from the investigation ~de arimasu.
Wilhelmina.
What's wrong, Shana?
Why are you calling me out at such a late hour?
Carmel-san.
The investigation into the Keeper on Reiji Maigo...
...unexpectedly led me to a search for a Tomogara ~de arimasu.
A Tomogara?
The Beautiful Whim, Pheles.
A great King of Guze, and the inventor of the Reiji Maigo.
Pheles had a person she swore her heart to ~de arimasu.
The Eternal Lover, Johan.
The Mystes who carried the Reiji Maigo.
The Promised Two. Engaged Link.
That's how the two were referred to.
Engaged Link?
Reiji Maigo was a Hougu made by Pheles for Johan so that they could be together forever.
The two spent an eternal life, drowned in love, by tampering with time and gaining an infinite amount of power of existence ~de arimasu.
But, they lost a certain battle, and both...
And that's how Reiji Maigo came to me after an indiscriminant transposition.
Reiji Maigo is basically the proof of their love.
The seal that represents the days they spent together.
However...
Alive.
Pheles is alive ~de arimasu.
She's alive?
Then...
Which means...
In the near future,
she'll be here to recover her lover's memento, the Reiji Maigo.
The Keeper must be something Pheles applied to resist anyone that tries to touch it.
If she finds you, consider that the end.
You are sure to be destroyed by her ~de arimashou.
A certainty.
What about the Silver?
Is the Silver related to that?
Silver?
What are you talking about ~de arimasuka?
Cannot follow.
Silver flame!
The unrestricted spell I used...
What... I saw when... I first cast Fuzetsu...
Yuji cast Fuzetsu.
And the color of his flame...
...was silver.
That's ridiculous.
It's impossible ~de arimasu.
Retract joke.
We're not joking!
I saw it!
And Alastor, too.
But the color silver is...
The facts that the Beautiful Whim, Pheles, is searching for Reiji Maigo...
...and that Sakai Yuji is the Silver do not tie together.
They are two separate matters.
In other words, Sakai Yuji, you are facing twice the jeopardy.
Looks like they're all ready.
Yup. Tomorrow's finally the day.
Let's have a blast tomorrow.
Yeah!
Hey, Ike. Are you all right?
Yeah. I'm managing.
After a good night's rest-
There you are, Ike-kun! Come with me for a second!
There's not enough rope to tape off tomorrow's parade course.
So that's Ike's...
Yeah, his destiny.
I will investigate regarding the Silver, as well ~de arimasu.
Pheles's strength is tremendous.
I want you to stay on your guard, too ~de arimasu.
Is there more?
Is there something you still haven't told us?
Wilhelmina.
Silver flame...
Beautiful Whim, Pheles...
What more could happen to me?
What's going to...
Yuji.
Swear one thing to me.
That you'll make a choice and fight for it.
Shana...
I will.
I swear to fight no matter what happens.
Yeah.
Please don't come, Pheles.
I don't want to fight you.
Johan!
The Seishuu Festival finally begins.
Shana, Yoshida, me, and our classmates take part in the parade.
Fun times pass by.
But, without anyone noticing, an ominous wind begins to blow.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
Seishuu Festival Begins.
