Yoite...
Go back.
Yoite!?
I don't need the Shinrabanshou anymore.
Why!?
We've promised each other, right? That you don't have to die alone like that...
It's alright now.
Yoite...
Don't come near me!
Just leave me alone!
Why...!?
Don't tell me that you've already given up on your wish?
Because... You've killed Hattori-san...?
Shut up!
Because you've caused Raikou-san's death...?
Shut up!
Shut up!!!
It's not your fault at all.
It's all my fault.
Wrong!
It's me who've gotten you involved in this!
It's all because of my wish that everyone is...
I have no right...to wish for anything.
I can no longer...ask for you to erase my existence.
I have to die!
I'll just die an ugly and painful death.
That's the least I can do to repay for my sins...
That's not it.
I want to fulfill your wish...by my own will.
That's because you're my important friend!
It's not just me.
Even Raikou-san... And Gau-san...
Everyone went to save you, because they care about you.
Yukimi-san is the same, too.
However, if you were to say something like that, you'll just be disregarding their concerns!
I don't know what happened during your past...
I don't know why you wish to disappear either...
However, I respect your decision about it.
Even though, I really don't want you to disappear...
If that is what you wish for... I'll realize it for you!
That's just too weird...
There're actually people who want to get involved with a walking zombie like me, even though there's nothing I can do to repay them...
The way you're talking is just rude to everyone!
After all, you always care what others think about you...
What about the way you feel?
What do you want to do?
You'll have to make decisions for yourself!
Won't that be a way to answer to those who care about you?
It's alright for me to make decisions for myself?
Yes, it is.
I'm going to make The Shinrabanshou get out of my body.
I think that the current me should be able to fulfill your wish.
Well then, Miharu-kun... I'm looking forward to it.
My wish...
That's because I 'm deeply indebted to Yoite.
I have to repay him for his help, that's all.
Don't die...
Yoite... Don't die...
Live on... And then...
My wish is...
Your wish is...
...to stay like this.
I don't need the Shinrabanshou.
Just me staying like this.
Yoite...
That's because I don't want to erase the feelings, you and everyone else have for me.
I don't need the Shinrabanshou no longer.
If so... I can just erase the fact that you've attained Kira.
You'll be saved with that...
You can't do that.
It's because of that past that there is the current me.
And then...I've encountered Yukimi and Raikou and you...and all other kinds of people.
So, even though there's only such a small amount of bonds in my heart, I want to live on for the rest of the time that is left.
I got it!
If that's your decision, I won't use the Shinrabanshou.
What are you saying, Miharu!?
You want to save him, right?
The current you will be able to do it.
Wish for me right now!
If so, you and that boy will both be happy!
It's useless for you to talk me into again!
I've already decided.
I don't need the Shinrabanshou!
This is my will!
Farewell... Miss Fairy...
I'll be by your side, too.
In order to remember the days we've been together...deep in my heart.
Yeah.
Geez, what the heck does that mean?
I can't take this any longer.
Episode 26
Connected Hearts
Grandma! I'm back!
Welcome back.
I'm going out for a while.
Oh, please help me get some dried Bonito fish on your way back.
I got it.
Miharu-chan... That's a surprise.
He has grown up so fast all of a sudden, right?
I'm not talking about that! Did he ever speak so loud like that?
Well, he's a boy after all.
He has been very stubborn since he was young.
Asahi-san, as well as Akatsuki, have been troubled by that.
Eh? Why am I talking about things which happened 10 years ago?
Time sure flies, right?
Hello!
Welcome!
Did Gau-san return yet?
Yeah, he's inside.
Eh? What are you doing?
Oh? This?
I've got him to help me out with this.
He feels bored during the day and wanted to knit something.
He is?
What are you knitting?
It's impossible to knit something big, I guess it'll just be a scarf.
I'll have to hurry up.
T-That's...
The weather is going to get warm soon.
Did you get used to the high school over here, Gau-san?
Yeah, it's good to be free from everything in Banten.
It's totally different from Tokyo.
I listened to him talking about his school just now.
He said that he has already joined the Kendo club.
Eh? Is that so?
I was thinking if I could just get a little closer to Raikou-san..
Raimei-san, take this...
Even though I've searched through that place... I couldn't find Raikou-san anywhere...
In the end, this is the only thing I could find.
It's better for you to take this.
Eh? But...
Raikou will be much happier this way.
Raimei-san...
It's alright, Raikou will always be in my heart.
yeah.
Raimei... Gau...
My heart is always with the two of you.
Well then, I'll help you with your Kendo training!
EH!?
Please go easy on me.
Even if you don't want to, I'll train you strictly!
Oh my, you didn't even say hello...
Raimei-san will never go easy on you.
Eh... Hehehe.
It'll be better if you just give up, Gau-san.
Hey, Miharu!
What are you staring at?
Come help me out with the tea preparation.
Oh... Okay...
Hey, doesn't it feel like we already have quite a few kids?
Kids!?
Even though I've never thought of having kids in my life, could this just be the so called "Motherhood"?
Me too...
I never thought that I can just live on peacefully like this everyday.
Well then Thobari, you're really fortunate now, right?
Fortunate?
Is that so...
You only realize it after someone else told it to you? You are a dummy, aren't you?.
HUH!? What is it!?
W-We thought if there's anything we can help out...
Oh, thank you.
Well then, help me get the cookies out of the drawer for everyone to eat.
Okay!
And Raimei-chan, please help me to get the cups.
Okay!
It's been a long time since he came out.
Yeah, he seems to be healthy.
Is this fine for you, Kouichi?
Eh!?
I've heard it from Raimei.
Your secret.
I'm indebted to my parents in the Aizawa family.
I've decided to live on in Banten with the identity of Aizawa Kouichi.
I'm not really sure what she plans to do though.
How unexpected.
What are you referring to?
You've actually accepted Miharu's decision just like that.
But, there's no other choice, right?
There's no other choice?
Huh? Seriously not!
Even though I'm pretty disappointed... Disappointed with it.
But, there were many other people who led themselves to destruction due to their inability to control the Shinrabanshou...
There are even some who have died cause they failed in the process of scraping it off their body.
However, he was able to survive cause he didn't use it and sealed it in his body.
This is something new that hasn't happened till now.
Isn't that just fine already?
After all, we won't know what will happen in the future.
Let's just wait and let me look forward to it.
Wait?
You're different from me and Kouichi.
Your lifespan is limited.
That's because...you're confused between me and an existence known as Fuuma Koutarou.
There's nothing of that sort.
No, listen up.
My true form exists within the records and information of the Shinrabanshou that Fuuma Koutarou has written down.
And that is who Fuuma Koutarou is, and at the same time, my true self.
What an interesting guy you are...
Is that so?
I'm getting hungry, let's go find something to eat.
Well then...
I guess I should get going, too.
I have to go and get some dried Bonito fish.
Well then, goodbye.
Be careful on your way back.
Well then, I'll come and visit you tomorrow again, Yoite.
Is there anything you want?
There's nothing really.
I see, see you tomorrow.
Thobari, you should go with Miharu, too.
Buy me a pack of Pinto beans.
I'm going to cook some beans for today, so buy me some mushrooms, too.
Hey, Kumohira-sensei...
You've known me since way back, right?
About who I actually am...
Yeah..
You've came to the shop occasionally, right?
What were you thinking at that time?
What were I thinking?
Well, about all kinds of stuff...
Was it about your grandfather...or was it about my parents?
That's right.
Do you want to forget those memories?
No...
Why?
No matter how painful the past is... I'm feeling really glad now.
Right now, I'm thankful to Asahi-san.
That's right...
She erased my memories and yet kept yours intact.
That was definitely my mother's decision.
It doesn't matter if the decision was right or wrong, what important is, are the feelings that you've had once.
Good evening!
Oh, Miharu-chan! Welcome!
Oh my, Sensei is here, too?
Oh... Hello.
Please, give me a big bag of dried Bonito fish as usual.
This guy over here wants some Pinto beans and mushrooms.
Please, wait a moment.
Hmm... Dried Bonito fish... Pinto beans...
Sensei...
Huh?
Please treasure them, the memories of my mother.
Yeah.
Hey! Demonic brat and crazy brother...
Are your injuries alright yet?
I'll have to earn some money for survival, there's no time to stay in bed now.
If so, why are you at such a place?
Eh? Am I not allowed to come here?
I'm here to find some information about those lively seafoods available here...
...Together with my little sister who has married a sushi master.
Hello!
Hey...
Pass this to Yoite. This amount of medicine should be enough for now.
I'm sorry to trouble you everytime.
Well then... How is that guy?
Why don't you meet him?
Even though you've been delivering the medicine everytime...
Since you're here already...
Stop talking nonsense, how can I see him now when things became like this?
I'm...a Kairoushuu.
I got it.
I'll tell Yoite about that.
Actually, the medicine is only able to make it comfortable for him.
It'll be good if it can ease his pain slightly.
Even so, I think Yoite will be happy, too.
That will be fine.
Hey, demonic brat...
Come over for a second.
I'll give this to you.
What is this?
Stop asking! Just take this.
With that, we won't deal with each other anymore.
See you!
Say hello to Yoite for us!
A recipe for lemonade?
What's that address at the bottom part?
It's going to be spring soon, right?
Yeah...
Yoite's really doing his best.
Actually, he should have already...
Hey, he might be saved just like that...
Is it really alright not to go and meet him?
It's alright with that.
Well then, let's go find some delicious food to eat! Nii-san.
Yeah! I'm so hungry!
Let's go.
Are you alright? Are you tired?
Yeah.
We reach there soon.
Yoite?
I guess, we shouldn't go after all.
No...
I want you to come with me.
Ok.
Koudou
Is there anything you need from my house?
Oh, no...
The garden is...
The garden is very pretty...
Thank you.
Even though it's a small house, it's very pretty.
That's true.
The garden is really pretty, too.
Yeah.
He's much taller in my memories...
But he actually isn't...
Are you disappointed?
Maybe...
Instead of being disappointed, I'm not really sure either.
It's good that I was able to meet you.
Are you tired?
A little...
It's already spring, right?
Yeah...
Let's take some rest before we go back, ok?
Yeah, let's go back...
Let's have some tea, shall we? What do you want to drink?
Lemonade.
Got it.
When is everyone coming here?
It's about time.
I see...
Oh my, what's that for...
Sorry for waiting.
Yoite!?
Yoite...
I will never forget about you... Yoite...
