Now I have all the ingredients for dinner.
And now...
Tsukiyama Hot Springs
Beautiful...
A vacation...
I would like to go with Kaoru-sama someday.
If I could see such a beautiful view with him...
Tsukiyama Hot Springs
Episode 7 Spiritual Illusion
What am I doing here?
Bringing back such a thing...
But someday with Kaoru-sama...
I am sure...
Then you have to invite the landlord and the manager!
Yeah, sounds good.
- After all, the more the merrier! - Um, uh...
We're back, Aoi-chan!
W-Welcome back, everyone.
You are all back rather early.
Yeah, it was a coincidence all our afternoon lectures were cancelled.
Hey, Miss Landlord!
Let's go to the hot springs!
Hot springs... is it?
Welcome to Tsukiyama Hot Springs
The mountains really have fresh air!
- We're finally here. - Everyone!
Please wait!
Taeko-chan?
Please wait...
A-Are you all right, Taeko-san?
Yes.
I'm used to things like this...
Huh? Where are the lunchboxes we bought?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I was looking forward to it...
Oh, well.
Guess we'll give up on them and eat somewhere.
I'm really sorry...
Cheer up, Tae!
Today's a welcome party for new photo club members.
You're the main event, Tae!
All right...
U-Um, everyone...
What's wrong, Aoi-chan?
Was it really all right for an outsider like me to come along?
It's all right!
Don't worry about it!
I dragged you all the way out here in the first place.
That's right!
And you're welcome if you're pretty!
Damn, I'm jealous, Hanabishi.
You've got such a beautiful landlord.
I see.
That really is how others see it.
Honestly.
Everyone is so good at flattery.
The air is really nice out here.
It would have been nice if Miyabi-san could have come.
That's true, but...
I was planning to go with Aoi-sama on the trip tomorrow...
Budget Report
But due to work...
...I will have to pass this time around.
So...
I ask you to take good, good care of Aoi-sama, Kaoru-dono.
If something were to happen to Aoi-sama...
She sounded like she'd kill me if something happened...
By the way, Tae...
When are we gonna get to the hotel?
T-That's...
Didn't you say it was near the station?
Station?
If you mean the train station...
...I think it is over there somewhere.
I'm sorry.
I have no sense of direction.
Come on, get a grip.
You're the only one who knows the way 'cause you booked it.
Y-Yes, the hotel is called Manyoen...
Let's see...
Let's see.
I got it.
It's this way.
It's a shortcut if we take this road.
S-Sorry, this way.
Monkey Troop Act
Say "sorry."
Monkeys! Monkeys!
I think it's over here.
What's 1+1?
2!
M-Maybe over here...
I can't take any more!
Tsukiyama Hot Springs Station
Where the heck is the hotel we're staying at?
We've been looking for 3 hours...
I'm sorry.
Aoi-chan, are you all right?
Thank you.
I am all right.
I see.
Aoi-chan looks small and frail...
...but she might be stronger than I thought.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
It's all my fault!
Taeko-chan, hold on...
The station's there, and this is the main street...
And if the hotel is at the end of the street...
Manyoen
I wondered for a while what would happen...
All in all, it was good that we found the hotel.
I'm exhausted.
Let's get in the hot springs quick and rest.
What?
What do you mean there's none?
As I said, there's no reservation under that name today.
That can't be...
I made sure to book a room for the Meiritsu University Photo Club!
You say that, but...
It can't be that you made the reservation for next month?
You know, Tina...
All things considered, I don't think...
Here it is.
We have a reservation for this day next year.
T-That can't be...
Um, are there any rooms tonight?
Unfortunately, we're full tonight...
...and there have been no cancellations.
Can you do something about it?
You say that, but...
Kaoru-sama...
Aoi-sama.
If you are in trouble, use this VIP card.
Most corporations will do something with this card.
I'm sorry.
What should we do?
I am sorry...
The room does not matter...
Please...
As I said, we are full...
T-This is...
Y-You, get a room quickly!
But we're full...
- It doesn't matter! Hurry! - R-Right.
I am terribly sorry about this.
I will get a room ready for you right now.
Thank you very much.
Aoi-chan...
I am glad, Kaoru-sama.
Thank you.
Guys, we can stay!
Aoi-chan talked them into it!
- All right! - All right!
Thank you so much!
You're amazing, Miss Landlord.
It is nothing...
After all, today is the first time Kaoru-sama and I...
Women's Bath
Paradise, paradise.
Nothing like soaking in hot springs after sweating it out!
I'm so...
So...
What is the matter, Taeko-san?
Aoi-san...
I'm such a klutz.
I only trouble the people around me.
Even today...
I'm sure that I'm a person that can't do anything right.
That is not true, Taeko-san.
Aoi-san...
Do your best...
...and someone will always be there to acknowledge it.
For both you and me.
So I do my best, thinking of that person.
I can do my best even in hard times...
...when I imagine that person being happy.
So...
You should do your best, as well.
I am sure you can, if I could do it.
I am cheering for you.
Thank you so much.
Hey, what are you being so gloomy over there for?
This is camp, after all!
You've gotta have all the fun you can.
Right?
Yes!
All right, there can be no camp without a party!
Were you waiting?
W-We've already started.
Something about foreigners in yukatas...
She looks good at first glance...
Ouch, sorry for being late.
- All I can say is amazing. - True...
They're bigger than Tina's, and Tina is from...
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Beautiful.
Elegant.
Yeah.
And now in honor of the Meiritsu University Photo Club's growth...
Cheers!
Now, Minazuki.
What is it, Chief?
I will give you an important order now.
An important order?
Look at this.
This is...
Ai Yori Aoshi
W-What is this?
Sato and I took that with guts and tenacity when we were freshmen...
...it's a human soul.
In other words...
...a supernatural photo.
Super...
I'll have you head out to a certain place now.
It's a temple about a kilometer out from this mountain.
That temple deep in the woods is a famous spot known for ghosts!
Ghosts are guaranteed to be there when you go.
All new members must go there and take a picture of a ghost.
This is the Meiritsu Photo Club's tradition...
The Courage Test Photo Shoot!
And this time, Minazuki...
...it's your turn!
I'll tell you now that it's not just us.
Hanabishi and Tina have done this tradition, too!
In other words, you can't say no to it!
I'm never going back there.
Prepare yourself for it.
Wow!
That's a wonderful tradition!
I love things of the occult like that.
Minazuki-kun.
Do you really understand this event?
Yes, I just have to get a photo of a ghost, right?
I'll do my best!
Well, I'll be going now!
Do your best.
Men and women welcome with sake...
You are 18, and I am 19.
The flower of womanhood...
I wonder if Taeko-san is all right?
Yeah, I think she's all right...
I'm sorry.
I have no sense of direction.
It can't be...
Kaoru-sama.
You are going to look for Taeko-san?
- Yeah. - Let me come with you.
- But... - Please.
I am worried about Taeko-san, as well.
Aoi-chan...
It's pitch black.
Aoi-chan, don't leave my side, okay?
Right.
Taeko-san!
Taeko-chan!
Taeko-san!
Taeko-chan!
The wind is picking up.
And fog, too.
J-Just a bird...
That startled me.
It would've been really scary if I was alone...
Are you all right, Aoi-chan?
I am all right.
But we should hurry.
Taeko-san must feel insecure all by herself right now.
Y-Yeah, that's true.
I'm amazed.
She's not scared of things like this?
It's here.
Where is Taeko-san?
- Taeko-san! - Taeko-chan!
Taeko-chan!
Taeko-san!
Can she be inside the temple?
Yeah.
She's not here.
Where did she go?
K-Kaoru-sama...
T-That...
It's coming!
Oh, is that you, Senpai?
What are you doing out here?
T-Taeko-chan.
I see.
Before that, are you all right, Taeko-san?
- Are you hurt anywhere? - No.
I was just so engrossed in taking pictures...
...that I didn't know so much time passed.
I didn't notice at all.
Oh, I see...
I'm sorry.
It seems I troubled everyone again.
Well, I'm just glad you were all right.
You're done taking pictures, right?
Let's get back to the hotel.
So much fog!
Not good.
We can't see a thing now.
It's all right.
It's a straight path to the hotel.
No, I think it will be better to wait for the fog to clear.
There were cliffs and rivers along the way.
If we stray from the path, wouldn't we be in deep trouble?
Yeah, you're right.
Let's wait for it to clear.
I hope Tina-san and the others do not worry...
Huh?
Taeko-chan fell asleep.
She must have been very tired.
Yeah, looks that way.
Oh, are you cold?
No.
Um...
Now that I'm relieved, I suddenly...
Actually...
It was really scary to come all the way out here.
Why'd you put up with it?
It was my dream...
...to go together on a vacation with you.
I see.
She looked poised not because she was a strong girl...
...but because she went out of her way to keep me from worrying.
The real Aoi-chan...
It's all right.
There's nothing to worry about now.
I'm sorry...
W-What should I do?
I can't stop trembling.
Aoi-chan.
Yes?
K-Kaoru-sama...
Your trembling stopped.
Yes.
It has stopped.
Kaoru-sama?
A-Aoi-chan!
Good morning! Take a look at this!
S-Sure.
This is...
See, isn't it really beautiful?
Yes.
Very.
Another dream of mine has come true.
Oh...
Nothing.
Um, Kaoru-sama?
Will you take me somewhere again?
This was the first time I was able to go on a trip like this.
Sure.
The photo club has filming excursions other than this camp.
No...
Um, just the two of us next time...
That's true. Let's go alone next time.
Yes!
We'd better wake Taeko-chan up and go.
The others must be waiting.
Well, let's go.
Senpai!
I did it!
I got a great picture of all the ghosts!
- Y-You're kidding! - Y-You're kidding!
What's the matter?
W-Well, you know...
It's not as good as ours...
...but you have the right attitude on photography.
Get more technical skills and you'll be a proud photo club member.
Right!
I'll continue to do my best!
