Have you had nights when you can't fall asleep?
Didn't anyone's face appear in your mind?
Unforgettable memories and uncontrollable emotion.
Open the twelve doors named "bitter sweet feelings."
Before I shut my heart...
Sentimental Journey
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
When we were both little...
...we could understand each other without a word.
That was the time when...
...we could believe in angels.
When you told me that you would break up with me...
...I couldn't look at you.
Please, come and see me.
I want to see your smile.
Please, don't forget your kindness.
Before I shut my heart...
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
A Story of 12 Girls in 12 Cities
How long have I been here like this?
But, since I've already become part of the never ending story...
I accepted it as my destiny.
Who am I?
Never mind. Anyway, you'll find out later.
Besides that, let me talk about her.
She's coming. She's coming.
That girl is coming here.
Huh?
As I expected, she's coming here.
I told her not to come so many times.
It looks like my mind's voice didn't reach her.
After all, there's no way to stop her at this point.
Let's spend time together and look closely at...
...what will happen to her for a while.
Although it is a very small part...
Episode 10: The Never Ending Story Although it is a very small part...
Episode 10: The Never Ending Story
...probably this will be part of...
...the never ending story.
Mr. Soda Bottle?
Good. They didn't start digging up the courtyard.
Let me dig you out.
She's coming. She's coming.
You must be waiting for me, Mr. Soda Bottle.
While you're holding my past and future.
What?
Get out of my way!
Well, now I remember...
Hey hey, do you know what?
Many decades and hundreds of years passed after they were born...
...some objects have their own spirits.
Huh.
The spirit is called Tsukumo Gami.
Tsukumo Gami.
Maybe this school building has a spirit.
Wow, it's scary!
Is a Tsukumo Gami here?
I'm a little bit scared.
A Reversed Tower...
...means destruction.
Huh!
Oh no!
No...
Shoot, what bad luck.
I won't let you go home.
Who is that?
You won't leave this place until you lose yourself.
Huh? You're joking.
Is it so?
I'm not wet!
But...
How come?
No way...
Sorry for keeping my shoes on.
Why?
Who are you?
Why are you doing this?
I'll never let this place become a park.
This place is my home.
Fine, but why me?
That's your wish, too.
My wish?
No, I haven't wished such a thing.
It's you who have been wishing for me to live forever!
What?
I'll live, as you wish.
And your body becomes my new home.
I didn't wish such a thing!
Illusion?
I see. This is the same thing as the rain.
Because it's just a spirit, all he can do is show illusions.
Huh, from the start, I didn't have to be scared.
Here I go!
Nobody is here?
I'm coming closer, Mr. Soda Bottle.
Here I go.
Yeah!
Why?
You can't escape from here.
This school building is my body.
You're inside of my body.
No!
Wherever you go, it's the same.
So, now give me your body.
Give me.
Give me!
No, no, no!
Emiru.
Come over here, Emiru.
That voice is...
Come here quick!
Darling?
Can't you see all of your efforts are in vain?
Darling, save me!
Now!
No!
You can't get in there!
Please.
I see.
Now I got it.
Thank you.
Oh, good.
This is the only thing I can do.
She has such a cute sleeping face.
By the way, this is the most comforting place for her.
Well, it was 7 years ago, things had not yet changed for her then.
While our princess is sleeping, let me talk about her past.
When she was an elementary school student, she was thought a bit peculiar.
Well, actually she was thought of as a creep.
Huh!
This will be on the next exam.
What's the matter, Nagakura?
What is it this time?
It's a UFO!
UFO?
You're lying!
Where?
I can't see any.
That was just a lie.
Everybody, go back to your seat.
Go back quickly.
After this small thing, classmates started thinking that she was creepy.
And eventually...
...she herself realized that she was different from the other classmates.
Everybody couldn't see that.
Please, come out, Elves.
Creepy woman!
Liar!
She dreams a bit more than others.
She's been like that since she was little.
Today he's transferred to this class.
I'm looking forward to meeting new friends.
It was a meeting of destiny for her.
Old school building, everyone doesn't know you're feeling lonely.
It seems like a sheepish spirit lives there.
Do you believe in the existence of spirits?
Yeah.
Why don't we enter the building? It's an adventure.
Okay.
Is anybody here?
The adventure was not the only reason her heart beat faster.
It didn't take long before they needed each other.
Here I go!
Huh?
I beat you!
Hmm, I was running to come here.
Have you seen any spirits before?
Not yet. Have you?
Yeah.
The night of my grandfather's death...
...he came to me and said I should be able to eat green peppers.
Wow.
After that, I could eat green peppers.
So you should thank your grandfather...
Today is the anniversary of his death.
Is that so.
So he may be with me now.
I see.
Oh, so this is for your grandfather.
Thank you.
It must have been her happiest time.
It was the only time she could talk about something normal for her.
Benteler, Benteler. UFO, please come to us!
Benteler, Benteler. UFO, please come to us...
Wow!
Let's eat sweet red bean soup.
What's this?
A magic circle.
Magic circle?
Yeah.
If anything happens to you, wherever you are...
I can send my power to you through this magic circle.
Stop saying that!
You'll embarrass me, if you say such a thing out of the blue.
What?
Huh?
It's a soda bottle.
Why is that here?
When this school building was built in 1919...
...a carpenter drunk a bottle of soda and left me here.
Those things were not important to them.
They washed me thoroughly.
I remember well her face alight with the reflection from my body.
But that was the last memory between her and him.
You're joking!
Sorry.
Soon after he had to move to another place.
No, no, no, no.
Sorry.
We put this in this bottle.
And let's make a time capsule.
Yeah.
It's a letter where they wrote a promise to meet again when they grow up.
Yes.
They buried me here and now she has come back to save me.
So I have to save her, too.
Emiru. Emiru.
Darling?
It's not safe here any more.
Get out of here quickly.
Darling! You came for me!
Quick!
Darling!
Come here.
Wait!
Don't go!
Come here.
I'm here.
Wait!
You're silly.
Darling?
You're silly.
Don't you know that it's impossible to meet the real me?
Yeah, it's impossible for him to come here.
Why?
Why do you want me so much that you need to do such things?
Lingering attachment makes him do so.
Throw away such attachments.
Ah, she can't hear my voice.
Can she be saved?
You came to save the soda bottle.
Why?
Why? I don't want to lose the bottle.
Yes.
Losing is a sad thing.
If you lose an object, people won't remember it.
If you lose an object and people don't remember it, it's nothing forever.
So I want your shape.
I need your body.
Oh, I understand.
No, don't understand!
If you're possessed by him, you won't be able to exist as yourself.
Okay.
Ahh, she's too innocent.
If there's no school building, I'll lose the memory of him and me.
So, it's okay.
Take my body.
I want the school building to live in my body forever.
No, you can't.
You won't be capable of having your own thoughts.
Hmm?
What?
No, it's not right.
No.
It's too late. Soon your body will...
But it's not right.
Memories are not lost.
Yeah, they stay.
Even if this school building won't stay, unless I forget...
...the school building will exist forever.
And even if I die, my memory will exist forever.
Forever...
A memory is forever...
Wh-What?
Was it a dream?
Here I go.
So what am I really?
No, this is not a dream.
Bye bye, Mr. Soda Bottle.
I haven't come here for a while.
How are you all?
I'm going to school!
Then, I'll exist forever, too.
Probably when she grows up into an adult...
...she won't be able to live with only dreams.
But I'm not worried about her.
Because even if she grows up, she won't lose her dream.
So I want to be a part of this never ending story forever.
By the way...
Do you remember the date written on the letter you put inside of me?
What?
On a holiday with lots of sunshine...
Let's go to the beach like we used to do.
The road that seems to continue into the sky...
Back then, I wasn't afraid of losing.
The ocean breeze is passing by and whispering to us.
Just keep on smiling Let's sing with a smile...
Tears shouldn't fill your eyes.
Just keep on smiling, be yourself and have a glow to your face.
Like a flower blooming on your face.
Listen. My best friend, Chigusa, is such a shy girl.
She can't make a move on the boy she's got a crush on.
So it's up to me to help her out.
Chances are we'll have the school festival soon.
According to a girls comic, it's a good time to confess your love.
Next episode of "Sentimental Journey"...
