She lied to her own heart.
Her heart was screaming.
It wanted to show the truth, wanted to show its true self.
Her heart wanted to shout out loud,
"My real name is..."
Hinata-chan!
Good morning.
Good morning, Hinata-chan!
G-Good morning.
Seventh Carving: 「Hotaru」
Don't run in the
halls!
Here.
Thanks, Kohinata-san.
Ko-Kohinata,
um...
can you help me too?
I'm having trouble with this part.
Kohinata-san, you're really good.
I've been doing it since I was young.
You really are good!
A yukata?
It's almost time for the summer festival, you know.
All the girls decided to wear hand-made yukatas!
All the girls?
All the girls.
You!
You're pretty cocky for a mere thread!
Listen to what humans tell you to do!
Why don't you ask for help as well, Yui-chan?
Who would ask her for help?
Still, if Kohinata really wants to help me, I guess it can't be helped.
I refuse.
Come on!
Help me as well!
What's the matter, Hinata-chan?
Are you having a hard time?
Why don't you ask for help too?
I-I'm fine.
You were the one who came up with the idea that we should all sew yukatas together.
Oh, so that's who it was.
As expected of Hinata-chan!
You come up with great ideas!
Hinata-chan, look at mine!
I'm glad.
It seems like Yui-chan isn't bullying you anymore, Hayami-chan.
Y-Yeah.
Give back my grandfather, and the villagers who suffered and died,
and the villagers who died crying!
Give them back!
So we burned down your house!
You reap what you sow!
Even if you look like that, I won't show you sympathy!
I'll curse you, and make you suffer for me and my grandfather!
Everyone else is also slowly beginning to talk to you.
I guess this is all thanks to Hinata-chan.
Because you stayed by Hayami-chan's side.
N-No, that's not-
Thanks, Hinata-chan.
See you, Hinata-chan.
See you tomorrow.
Yes.
Kagura.
Th-Thank you, Hinata.
This is my younger sister Hotaru's room.
You have a sister, Hinata-chan?
She died.
A long time ago.

What are you doing?
I'm sure I told you not to come in here!
Apparently you were with the Kohinata girl again today.
What a disgrace.
Grandfather!
I...
Hinata...
Hotaru is-
That hurts!
Grandfather!
Say it now.
The words you were about to say.
Were you not going to fulfill her wish?
Were you not going to take her place, and protect our family?
But...
Were you not going to live as Kagura Hinata?
Well? Hotaru?
I'll go pick those flowers for you, Hotaru!
Okay!
How could this happen to Hinata?
And yet Hotaru is still alive.
This is the end of the Kagura family.
We must not let this be discovered.
We cannot let the villagers know the truth.
Hotaru died.
The one who died was Hotaru.
You are Hinata.
You will become Hinata.
For the sake of the village, for the sake of the Kagura family,
you have to become Hinata.
Hinata would have wanted that as well.
Onee-sama has...
Yes, and not only your sister, but I, and all the villagers,
everyone wants her to stay alive.
You will become Hinata.
For your sister, for the Kagura family,
no...
for the village!
You will become Hinata.

Did you not swear to become Hinata back then?
To discard your identity as Hotaru, and to become Hinata.
You are forbidden to become Hotaru again.
You think the villagers would accept it if you changed back now?
What this village, what the Kagura family needs... is Kagura Hinata.
I forbid you to leave the house for now.
Calm yourself.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Kagura Hinata.
Ah, what a wonderful girl.
As expected, the children from the Kagura family are very different.
Ah, who is that child?
Hotaru.
Hotaru! Come and greet these men!
Hotaru!
The older sister, Kagura Hinata-sama, is a well brought up child, but...
Yeah, I'm sure the village chief must be worried about the future of the younger one, Hotaru.
Here.
Did you know?
Candy tastes like happiness.
If you eat it, flowers will blossom in your mouth.
Are you writing another picture book?
Yes.
What kind of story is it this time?
A story about the Spirit of the Sounds of Time.
A story about the Spirit of the Sounds of Time?
The Spirit of the Sounds of Time, Otoha-chan,
together with the Promised One, got the quarreling villagers to end their fights.
And made the village a happy place.
The Promised One?
Nobody can see Otoha-chan.
Nobody except the Promised One.
Unless Otoha-chan goes searching for the Promised One,
and makes the villagers happy, she can't return to the fairy world.
Sounds like fun!
But what will happen to the Promised One?
If Otoha-chan goes home, won't the Promised One be left all alone?
I kind of feel sorry for him.
Once you've finished writing it, make sure you show it to me first!
I'm looking forward to it!

Hinata has been absent from school for three days now.
The teacher said she wasn't feeling well.
It's my fault.
I'm sure because she got close to me, she...
Hayami-chan.
Maybe I really shouldn't get involved with all of you.
I think Hinata-chan would be sad if she heard you say that.
Then what should I do?
If this continues, Hinata will...
Let's go visit Hinata-chan.
If we talk directly to them, I'm sure...
I can only distance myself from Hinata.
There's nothing more I can do.
You could do it.
You just thought you couldn't.
Otoha-chan.
You just think you can't do anything!
I thought the same thing.
But, I became friends with you.
And you and Hinata-chan became friends again, didn't you?
Y-Yes, but...
We've come this far.
I don't want to give up now!
Let's find out what we can do!
Let's do what we can!
"Kagura Hinata!"
"Yes!"
"Well done, Hinata."
"Hinata-chan, you're amazing!!"
"Hinata-sama, Hinata-sama is beautiful."
As expected of the Kagura family's heir.
I hate to say it, but I'm glad it was Hotaru that passed away.
Hinata-chan!
Hinata!
Yoohoo, Hinata-chan!
Hinata-chan.
Hinata.

Excuse us!
These are the notes we took while you've been absent.
Get well soon!
Everyone's waiting for you.
Hurry up and show yourself.
Are you afraid to challenge me as the yukata queen?
Yui-chan is annoying, so come back!
I'm also waiting for you!
This is...
I'm sorry.
I knew you wouldn't make it in time, so I made your yukata.
I hope it fits.
I'm with you, no matter what happens.
And not only me... Hirose and the others, everyone is on your side.
Hirose told me we mustn't think we can't do anything.
I don't know what we can do.
But we'll do whatever we can.
The least we can do is to pass our feelings on to you, that we are with you.
"Don't think you
can't do anything."
Let's go the the summer festival together, no matter what.
Everyone's waiting for you, so we have to.
Grandfather told you to stop drawing pictures?
Why did he say that?
He said I must study, and become more like you.
Why do you have to be like me?
Because I'm hopeless.
Why are you hopeless?
I'm bad at school.
I have no friends.
I'm not athletic.
I hate carrots.
A-And sometimes I wet my bed.
Maybe you are hopeless.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding!
I can't draw pictures as well as you!
I could never write such a wonderful story.
You should just stay yourself.
I love your picture books.
I want you to draw more and more of them!
But...
Grandfather and the others just don't know the real you.
I know!
Let's show everyone your picture book!
I'm sure they'll all start to love you then!
But...
You're thinking that it's impossible, aren't you?
Don't do that!
I hate it when you do that!
There isn't anything you can't do!
You're thinking you can't do anything, aren't you?
Wrong!
That's so wrong!
You can do it.
You just think you can't.
I know everything about you.
About how good a girl you are.
So it'll be fine!
Just be yourself.

A Story about the Spirit of the Sounds of Time
And thus, the Spirit of the Sounds of Time flew off to the fairy world.
But then, what about the Promised One?
Was the Promised One left all alone?
Yakumo Store
No,
because he'd helped the Spirit of the Sounds of Time,
everyone began to like him.
The Promised One made many friends.
And in his heart was born a sense of courage that was second to none.
The end.
Hotaru?
Hey, Hotaru!
Hotaru-chan!
It's a wonderful story... Hotaru.
My fiancee, Takuma-kun.
His younger sisters, Hayami-chan and Hotaru-chan.
And me, who lives with all of them.
But then, in front of Magical Girl Otoha-chan,
another Magical Girl appears!
Magical Girl battles will be starting soon!
Eighth Carving: 「Otoha」
What's with that unreal scenario?!
Look forward to next time!!
