Kazuki!
Oh no. Let's hurry.
Kazuki!
Kazuki, I told you over and over not to leave your room.
I'm sorry.
Listen to me. You are not to go anywhere.
Not you...
Souseiseki
Vacuum suction using special cups...
Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Add 6 centimeters to your bust, huh?
Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw, draw.

Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw. The ribbon is crooked.
Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw. It's getting a bit easier on the eyes.
Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw, draw. Draw. Hey, quiet down.
What have you guys been...
You three!
After all the trouble we went through to make it look gorgeous.
Hold it!
He went after Shinku.
He is so darn hopeless.
Even his thoughts are puny.
The N Field?
Oh, Hina-Ichigo, don't approach it so carelessly!
Hina-Ichigo!
What is this?
Kazuki, I'll be going out for a bit.
Be good and wait.
All right. Take care.
Oh, Souseiseki!
I swear. "Kazuki, Kazuki," from morning till night.
Talk about a one-trick whatchamacallit.
Let's wash our hands of that bothersome old man.
Let's look for another master...
Don't badmouth him.
Souseiseki, something's wrong with him!
Nothing good will come of staying here.
S-Stop it... Nothing good will come of staying here.
I...
...can't go with you.
Suiseiseki... Goodbye.
Sto... Stop it...
Stop, Souseiseki!
There you are!
Unhand me, Jun!
Gotcha, you rotten doll.
Suiseiseki?
Guess what? Guess what? Just now...
Nothing.
What was that about?
It should last another ten years.
I'm so glad. This clock means a lot to me.
Oh, that reminds me. Gramps, if you'd like these...
Oh, taro tumbled in soy sauce.
I made too much, so I thought I'd share.
Thank you. My son loves this dish.
He'll be so happy.
Um, well...
I wonder what's happened to gramps Shibasaki...
His son is...
He talked about that again? With his wife's state...
Oh, I'm going to be late! He talked about that again? With his wife's state...
Oh, I'm going to be late! He's getting old...
S-Sakurada-san... But he's still skilled.
T-Too fast... Oh, was he able to fix it?
Cabbage has been pricey lately.
I know!
Kazuki.
You must be hungry. I received a stewed dish today.
From Kato-san from block two. I'll go warm it up for you.
Up we go.
Suigintou!
You have it rough.
Playing the replacement for a lost son...
You have no feminine charm after all.
It's useless to look for the grandmother's tree.
It was all white and empty, right?
Even if you found it, your shears wouldn't be up to the task.
Right?
Suiseiseki, a gardener like you, has the watering can you need.
Say, would you like me to steal it from Suiseiseki for you?
Steal?
You need it, don't you?
Suigintou, you don't mean...
Okay, everyone! Here are your flower-topped hamburger steaks!
Yay!
You'll get tired of having it so often.
Hina wants flower-topped all the time!
Tomorrow and tomorrow's tomorrow!
"The day after."
The day after!
Now, help yourselves!
Thanks for the food!
Suiseiseki-chan, aren't you hungry?
Then this should really be for after dinner...
Here, today's special treat.
Wow!
You know, it's been Hina's dream to have juice at dinner time!
Juice! Juice!
You can later.
Juice! Juice! Juice!
Settle down.
Suiseiseki, you...
I'm going to sleep.
Suiseiseki-chan, what's wrong?
What's with her?
Hina-Ichigo, something happened in the storage room.
Um, nothing happened.
Nothing like Souseiseki showing up in the mirror...
Souseiseki?
No! No!
Hey, what's this "Souseiseki"?
Souseiseki...
Suiseiseki's younger twin sister who wields the gardener's shears.
In every era, they've been together...
...so I thought it was strange, but...
It appears Suiseiseki is hiding something.
That's enough, Suigintou!
Is the secret out?
You're about the only one who'd stoop so low!
Don't scowl at me like that.
I came all this way to show you something you'll want to see.
Souseiseki!
Poor thing.
Not even allowed to sleep in her case.
And after forsaking you for her master.
Why?
That old man liked Souseiseki!
I suppose it's what's called a love gone too far.
Dreaming in the case holds special meaning for us.
A sacred ritual that spins our nearly eternal past into the present.
Robbed of that...
...she may eventually become just an empty shell devoid of emotion.
Kazuki...
Souseiseki!
Such a caring elder sister, Suiseiseki.
Admirable. Most admirable.
Suiseiseki?
Souseiseki.
Why are you...
Nothing has changed.
It's fine. Leave it.
Souseiseki?
There's something I have to do.
If I don't, master's heart and mind will be broken.
He was broken long ago.
She's been sleeping all this time.
Her dreams were all white and empty when we went in.
Give this up already!
I want you to use your power to help me.
I know I'm not in any position to ask, but...
You want me to use the watering can for him?
Please.
Even though he treats you like this...
...you'd still take the side of that senile old man?
Snap out of it already!
Kazuki!
Kazuki?
Kazuki!
Suiseiseki?
Hurry!
Come!
Kazuki!
Ka...
Kazuki...
Why are you so obsessed with him?
Come with me to Jun.
Jun?
Is that your new master?
We've yet to enter into a covenant, but...
But?
He's an utterly hopeless runt.
I worry about how he'll manage if I'm not around...
So he's a good person. Do you like him?
W-What are you saying?
It's just that he's far and away better than that lousy old man!
Besides, Shinku and Hina-Ichigo are there too.
Shinku... Hina-Ichigo...
That brings back memories.
I know! You should enter into a covenant with Jun too, then...
Kazuki! Kazuki! Kazuki! Kazuki!
Master's worried about me.
Kazuki! Kazuki!
Quit crying in that frightful manner!
I'll turn you into roast chicken!
Kazuki!
I'm still going back.
Souseiseki!
I feel the same way as you do.
I want to be by my master's side.
You're so smitten with the elderly! My patience has so run out!
Sui Dream!
As your elder twin sister, I'll return you to the right path, even by force!
Lempicka!
Stop this, Suiseiseki!
I have no intention of fighting you...
Suiseiseki...
Kazuki!
Sorry, I'm not the boyish type.
You're...
No matter how you cherish her, she will flee from your side.
You will be eternally alone.
Why you!
You shouldn't get angry. Your blood pressure will go up.
Have you taken your lactic acid bacteria?
Kazuki...
There is just one way.
A way to keep that girl bound to your side forever.
Will you help me, gramps?
Souseiseki, come back with me.
I don't want to hurt you any more!
Is that old man that precious to you?
More than me?
Souseiseki, you...
Souseiseki, you dummy!
Sorry...
Master...
I'm sorry.
Kazuki...
Uh, um...
Kazuki...
Bathroom...
Suiseiseki?
Hey, what are you doing this late at night?
Hey, does it hurt somewhere, Suisei...
You!
Why you!
If only you were cooler and more dependable...
...Souseiseki wouldn't choose that senile old man over you!
What's this about?
What's the matter?
It's morning...
Jun.
What did you do to Suiseiseki?
What are you talking about? I was just going to the bathroom!
I wonder...
Suiseiseki, are you okay?
I didn't do anything!
You...
What's wrong?
Suiseiseki?
A doorway to dreams is being opened somewhere.
Doorway to dreams?
There's someone else that can open them?
Is that...
Souseiseki, what are you doing?
Tomatte yuku kokoro ga...
...natsukashii omoide o ubatte.
Furueru yubisaki kara...
...tsutawaru sora ni iro wa nai kedo.
Touku de kikoeru yawarakai koe ga...
...tozashita hitomi no oku e todoku you ni negau yo.
Mai-agaru gin-iro no hane kimi no karada ni furisosogu.
Haruka mugen no tsuki e eien ni hibiku senritsu.
I swear! How much worry must you put me through?
Suiseiseki, stop bothering with me.
W-What did you say?
Why should only you be run ragged for that old man's sake?
You'll understand someday too. No, maybe you already do.
Like hell I'll ever understand that!
