Got it!
Whoa, it's huge!
Eew, yuck.
Wait until Tsugumi sees this!
You don't have to tell me
From the first moment we met
Glistening with sweat... baby face
You can't suppress that pounding heart
So you hide behind false pride
Breaking the speed limit... DRIVING
You can't even bring yourself to hold my hand
But you act tough and say "Follow me!"
Always in over your head, that's why I love you!
You're still so bland
The way you kiss is also bland
(Floating)
Why don't you take off those worn trousers
And just take the plunge?
Even so, you're still so bland
So this must be true love!
Wake up and see!
Just for you, I'll show you a hot un... deux... trois!
Gently...
Hard day's night game
I'm going to melt...
Episode One The Shrine Maiden
It's finished!
Finally, after an all-nighter...
It's done!
I'm going to call it the Sacred Tree Spirit Statue.
All right!
Wait... Oh, crap! I'm gonna be late!
It's heavy...
Can't haul it by foot.
I wonder what Daitetsu will think of it.
I think I kind of understand now.
To carve out what you see inside the wood...
What?!
But what a magnificent human form I've manifested into!
What's going on here?
Why was I summoned into this vessel?
I don't understand.
Oh... This has been a shock for you.
Why, you poor thing!
Just sit still until you calm down.
There, there... Don't be afraid!
That was good.
Even though it was cheap.
Um...
I have a lot of...
...no, tons of questions I'd like to ask you...
Hey, that's my line.
But I suppose you can go first.
After all, I'm generous. You may speak.
Um...
You see, I've always been able to sense spirits.
But this is the first time I've ever seen one so clearly, you know.
Um... By any chance... Would you be a ghost?
Well, no, I mean...
Do you happen to be a Tree Spirit?
Surely it can't have come to this.
To put me in the same class as evil spirits...
Are you out of your mind?!
I never dreamed that my progeny's spirituality was in such shambles...
Fine, then.
It's time for a lesson.
First of all, what do you know of the Guardian Tree?
What do I know? That it's a sacred tree...
A sacred tree, just as it's written, is a tree of the gods.
A divine vessel.
A genius loci has descended into that nagi tree, you see.
The genius loci is the guardian spirit of this land.
All living things, every last of one them, are born form this genius loci.
And that genius loci is none other than I.
You could say I am a mother of the earth, a goddess!
Do goddesses really pop out so randomly?
Now then, my turn to ask questions. Do goddesses really pop out so randomly?
Now then, my turn to ask questions.
Tell me, what was that vessel?
Vessel?
The vessel I manifested into.
That human-shaped receptacle, remember?
Oh...
That was my wood sculpture.
But why would that have been so comfortable?
No idea...
Maybe because I carved it out of the sacred tree?
What?
You'd better be telling the truth!
If you're lying, I'll lay a curse on you!
Okay, but how come you don't know anything about it?
It was cut down recently, you see.
They're re-zoning the area, so this shrine...
...it's going to be merged with a nearby shrine.
A friend of mine gave me the wood from the sacred tree.
I was going to enter my sculpture in the local festival.
I used to play here all the time as a kid,
so it was a shock to me when I found out.
Come to think of it, haven't we met here before, years ago?
You ungrateful little brat!
Heinous... what a heinous act!
To chop down a sacred tree and carve it into a wood sculpture!
That's the same thing as divine dismemberment!
Divine Dismemberment That's the same thing as divine dismemberment!
Heinous... what a heinous act...
This is no time to be singing nonchalantly!
I had no idea things had come to this while I slept!
How terrifying local administration is!
Sleeping, huh? How terrifying local administration is!
Sleeping, huh?
Don't you remember?
It was here, long ago, that we...
I have no recollection of such a thing!
What do you think will happen if the Guardian Tree is felled?
The sacred land will lose its protection...
What will become of my beloved progeny?
This land will grow unstable, and calamity shall prevail.
Who can hold such disaster at bay?
Oh, the shame!
What am I supposed to do, when I am no more than a split-spirit?
Uh... um... What am I supposed to do, when I am no more than a split-spirit?
A bug! By your feet.
Do you see that, unbeliever?
This is an impurity!
Until now it was suppressed by the sacred tree,
but now it's become active!
It's no use looking at me like that now...
Don't even think of laying a hand on this impurity.
It can't be grasped by a human hand,
and you'll only be tainted anyway, though not as much as me.
Ugh, that's gross!
What in the world?
World... world... world...
Uh...
Do you want something to eat?
I don't have any holy offerings on hand...
I'll go out and get something.
Here I am, a goddess,
and I have no way of countering the impurities of the land.
And I've lost face because an unbeliever had to save me...
A goddess, you say?
That bug just now... I'm the one who got rid of it, remember?
Splat!
That impurity returned to the earth, nothing more.
Given time, it will surely rise again as another impurity.
It's one thing for someone who's undergone training,
but a human can't possibly touch an impurity.
So who are you, exactly?
I can sense spirits, so maybe it's because of that.
I really don't understand this.
The world is full of things I don't understand!
Let me think a bit.
Don't talk to me now.
Hey! I don't like it so quiet.
Do you mind if I turn on the TV?
Did you say TV?
Yes.
Wait! I want to watch! Yes.
Wait! I want to watch!
Huh? But...
Is that it? Huh? But...
Is that it?
Hey, but... Hold on a second!
Oh, just let me have it.
Hmm... So you press one of these?
Like this... Click!
Magical Girl Lolikko Cutie!
I will uproot all evil!
Ah... So this is what I've been hearing about.
The pictures are moving!
How exactly does this device work?
Go ahead, keep on watching.
In the name of love and justice!
Take that! Magical Funny Stone!
You like that show? Take that! Magical Funny Stone!
The scales have fallen from my eyes! Take that! Magical Funny Stone!
The scales have fallen from my eyes!
I'm starting to feel as if nothing else matters!
Do you have writing paper?
Huh? You mean for calligraphy?
Time for revenge!
Found you!
Would you please give me a break?
Impurities are immune to sword and flame.
That said, I'll be tainted if I touch them with my bare hands.
Ugh! All these spiders! Gross!
Do these spiders bug you? Ah, that's quite witty!
To cleanse impurities, exorcism works best.
In other words, pure divine power is most effective.
But I can't muster enough power to do so in this body.
Therefore, I must compensate with an external option.
Specifically, an exorcism tool!
Hey, wait...
Beautiful young girl, deity of the land, genius loci!
I will uproot all impurities!
The Exorcism God, Oonusa, shall gather pure divine ki,
crushing all enemies! It's a powerful weapon!
Uh... What exactly are you doing? Crushing all enemies! It's a powerful weapon!
Uh... What exactly are you doing?
Hurry up, capture them!
Right...
Don't move.
Yeah.
They vanished...
This is it! This is it!
This is how, in the name of love and justice,
we should eradicate all the impurities of the world!
My name is Nagi.
I hadn't told you my name yet, had I?
I have the same name as the sacred tree. Easy to remember, isn't it?
Oh... I'm Jin.
Jin Mikuriya.
Jin, is it?
Jin!
What are you doing?
I'm hungry, let's go home!
Let's go home?
Where?
But I expressed a desire for a bream...
That's a kind of bream, too. A real bream would be a luxury.
Skimp on holy offerings, and you could be struck down!
Back in the day, my worshipers would bring me fresh bream,
on every single occasion...
Fresh and holy...
That has quite a ring to it.
What's with her, anyway?
Oh well, I suppose I can let it go this one time.
I'd like a genuine bream this evening, though.
But this is... My heavens!
This is in itself not bad for a low-rank offering!
Um... You really don't have anywhere to go home to?
With the sacred tree in that state? You know the answer.
But that doesn't fit my image of...
If you hadn't made such a vessel in the first place... Am I right?
You mean it's all my fault?
Are you trying to elude punishment?
Please wipe off that bean paste.
At any rate, I'm going to need your help,
if I'm going to exorcise impurities like we did just now.
Obviously, we should always be near each other, shouldn't we?
Should the impurities increase, misfortune will also increase.
In other words, it's for the good of the land.
Accept that and allow me to stay here!
It's time for News Channel.
You can't just appear out of nowhere and say that you're a goddess!
In the first place, I can't live under the same roof as a woman!
What am I thinking?
Never gonna happen, not with this one!
Jin.
At least for the time being,
it will be safer for me to stay with you.
I'm counting on you.
Anyway, you can stay here for a while.
It's only me here, anyway.
When my dad comes home, I'll have to come up with some story...
If we're going to live together,
there are some things we need to decide on.
For example, dinner and stuff.
I can eat anything, whether it's seafood or mountain food!
I'm not talking about personal taste...
I mean who's going to be making dinner.
Never mind, I'll manage somehow for the time being.
In that case, I'd like you to take out the garbage.
Flammable, non-flammable, recyclable,
and plastic bottles, you have to sort it...
I'll explain it later.
I'm not sure, but are you ridiculing me, by any chance?
No, I'm not!
I wonder if I'm being deceived?
Oh, another thing... The laundry...
Hey, wait!
If you're going to sleep, first you have to...
A bath!
Please take a bath!
I love bathing!
It's like coming back to life!
Textbooks
Excuse me!
Hmm? What is it?
What about your clothes? Do you want me to wash them?
Oh! Yes, please!
By the way, do you have anything else to wear?
Did you really think I would?
Um... these...
I'm home...
Ah! Where have you been?
Shame
I borrowed these from your bureau.
Why don't you go take a bath, Jin...
No! Go change! Why don't you go take a bath, Jin...
No! Go change!
How refreshing!
I'm going to take a bath now.
Please sit here quietly and watch TV.
And don't pick up the phone.
This situation of ours is really hard to explain.
Right, got it.
There's no way that living together will work!
Hello?
Jin? It's me...
Hello!
Oh, Jin? Hello!
Oh, Jin?
What's going on?
Tsugumi? What do you mean, what's going on?
Well, you didn't show up for class today.
And today was the deadline for the festival! Is it a cold?
No, that's not exactly it...
I'll explain everything another time, okay?
You're acting strange, Jin. Aren't you feeling well?
I told you, I'm fine!
Hey, look the other way, will you?
Is someone there?
No, it's just me!
There's nothing to worry about. I'll talk to you later!
I'm worried...
Didn't I tell you not to answer the phone?
Oh, so this was the phone, after all.
By "phone", I thought you meant something like this.
Well, that's also a phone, but...
Anyway, don't touch this!
Jin, you'll catch a cold.
Please sleep in here. I'm going to sleep in the living room.
But isn't this your own room, Jin?
This door has a lock, so it's safer.
Oh, and... Please don't mess with the stuff in this room, okay?
Very well.
Okay...
Good night.
Good night, Jin.
Good night.
I'm wiped...
So even gods...
...go to the bathroom.
Gods of heaven, gods of earth
O myriads of gods
Listen to the sacred words:
All the sins of the world are no more.
Scatter away the mists of the high mountains,
And the mists of the low mountains
Listen to the sacred words:
All the sins of the world are no more.
Keep your heart true and honest
And you shall never stray from your path
O my beloved, beloved children
Such sound and healthy lives
Let us vow together
Find rest in the sacred grove,
Find peace.
In the sacred grove where time is endless.
