Oh, a violet! (Sumire)
Have you ever thought about rejuvenation?
For once, I want to be young again.
I want a chance to redo my life. Have you thought about it?
I know that kind of thing is impossible.
But when a miracle actually happened...
- Isn't that awful. - Yes.
- What an old-fashioned coat. - Look at that bag.
- She's weird. - So lame.
When it actually happened...
...don't you want to enjoy it wholeheartedly?
You were doing a really good deed, Sumi-san.
Thank you very much.
Your mother must be very happy.
She live a long life with her only daughter there on her last moments.
- It's good then. - Well, it's another thing but...
...from now on, Sumi-san...
...please do something that makes you happy.
You see, a lot of our parishioner...
...are missing their opportunity to do what they really want...
...for the sake of taking care their elderly father and mother.
Thus, for your own sake...
...please enjoy your life to the fullest.
Thank you for your concern.
For my own sake?
Even if he said so, I don't even know what I want for myself.
Kisaragi Sumi, 65 years old.
In this early new year, my mother passed away.
My cat Juri-chan...
...will be my only family left.
My family used to sell flowers.
Between flower arrangement and housework...
...we were all busy so I have been helping around the house since I was a kid.
- Sumi-chan, let's play! - Let's play!
Ah, sorry.
I have to help with shipping after this.
- I'm sorry. - Eh? Again?
It can't be help. Sumi-chan is an only child.
Yes, I'm really sorry. But thanks for inviting me.
- Okay, bye-bye! - Bye-bye!
Bye-bye!
Even in Junior and Senior High, it didn't change much.
It becomes a normal thing that, I rarely went out from home.
And when I realize, I already reached this age.
Like a bird in a cage...
...never spread their wings on the outside world, even once.
Off we go.
- Are you alright? - Yes.
I-it's...
It's a bit shaky, please be careful.
I never been close with a man, not even once...
...up until this very old age.
- Wait! Kisaragi-san! - Ogura-san, something happened?
Don't ask me!
- It's your cat again! - Eh?
I already said it better not use our yard as it's personal toilet, right?
Um... My Juri is rarely goes outside.
It was definitely your cat!
Because you're the only one around here who has a cat!
- But... - Don't say but! It...
Eh, what? Someone passed away?
Yes, my mother.
Why don't you say anything?
Well, it was sudden.
Also, it's my mother last request that only relatives attend the funeral.
Even so...
I can't believe it. Unmarried and living alone.
What an eccentric woman.
Anyway, please do something about your cat!
That was a bit rude. Right, Juri-chan?
That time I realize...
...I wasn't really think about the photo I use for mother's funeral.
Looking at father who died in his 50...
...side by side with my mother's 87 years old photo.
My mother in heaven must be shy.
Heave-ho!
Ah, my knee hurts
Photo album... should be...
Ah! It's here.
A folding screen.
You know, when I was a kid...
...I'm scarred of this so mother stored it away somewhere.
It's eyes looking more sharp than Juri-chan's right?
Mother always keep it here since then, I suppose.
Look what I've done.
Oh, no. It will stain...
Weird.
How nostalgic.
You have to give up on college.
Grandma is sick. We don't have enough people to begin with.
Housework and nursing Grandma will be your job from now, Sumi!
But, she was working really hard to get into Tsubakioka University.
It's a waste of money and time!
If she about to take over the flower shop, she doesn't need to go to college!
Tell me your wish.
I want to go to college.
I want to study more.
That's all?
I want to fall in love.
I want to enjoy my youth.
More. Tell me more about your wish.
I...
Want to... redo my life.
Understood. What is your name?
Kisaragi... Sumi...
My name is Rei.
Sumi, you have released my seal.
Bakeneko!
Don't call me with such filthy name! Annoying.
Is this form scares you?
Tsk, troublesome.
How is it? No complaint?
Well, whatever.
Sumi, I shall grant your wish.
Ah, Juri-chan.
Eh? It's morning?
Wait! The garbage.
Wait! Take my garbage, too!
- Excuse me. - Eh?
- Please help me with this. - Ah, yes. It's okay.
Thank you very much.
- What is it...? - Ah, well...
I thought it's a bit unusual.
But even with such an old yukata, young woman like you still look sexy.
Ha?!
What is this?!
Why am I...?!
So, you finally awake.
You... that monster...
If I am a monster, than you are just the same.
Sumi.
Remember that you are a 65 years old on the inside.
Just as you wish, now you are able to redo your life.
I gave some of my spirit to you...
...and rejuvenate your body to a 20 years old.
T-twenty years old!? How...
Blood of a virgin and her wish...
...was what needed for the contract.
- A contract? - Yes
Once your wish has been fulfilled...
...I will be completely released from the curse in that folding screen.
Until then, you are my master.
- M-master? - Kisaragi Sumi.
No. From now on you are, Kisaragi Sumire.
Kisaragi... Sumire?
Please enjoy your youth to the fullest.
If it possible, do it quick. So I can be free.
So?
Don't say that.
For the future of our temple, I think...
...this kind of new performance is necessary.
That's why from now on, we better practice our dance here.
You can't even read sutra properly, what with dance, you stupid.
- It will be more exciting. - And have more soul.
You don't need soul to learn sutra.
If you really want to succeed this temple, do your training properly!
And don't bring in your girlfriend.
I'm going out for a while. Make sure you put that back.
Eh? Where are you going? Could it be, a secret training?
Kisaragi-san's house at 3-chome.
I called her to talk about funeral, but no one answer since two days ago.
Ah! If I'm not mistaken, she is around 60 and living alone.
Maybe she already dead without someone notice.
- Ouch! - Don't say that!
It brings bad karma.
Sparkly.
Ouch!
Painful like normal.
It is because your sense were getting dull when you are older.
Wait! Why did you open the door?!
Pervert! Freak!
If you keep open your clothes you will catch a cold.
I know you get carried away looking at your young body, but...
I'm done! I will go out soon.
Excuse me, then.
What are you doing?
As you can see.
My clothes are all messy.
I'm looking for one that will look good on the new you.
That... I don't really know where to start...
...but I really need to ask something.
Please, start with anything.
Why did you use such polite tone?
Because Sumire-sama is my master.
- I should always keep my manner. - About the name "Sumire" too.
Why can't I keep using my name...
...just because I'm young?
Because if you want to have a new life, you better have a new name, right?
Well, I'm already proceed with that name so it's a bit too late to change.
Proceed? What are you talking about?
Of course it's about Sumire-sama university entrance procedure.
- University?! - Yes.
I have it done during your three days sleep. All of it.
- Three days?! - Surprised on everything, huh?
I can't really understand the situation.
The 65 years old me... All of a sudden university...
You may study if you get into university.
You are the one who wished for it.
In addition I have you enrolled to the place you've been wanting to go...
...Tsubakioka University.
Isn't it perfect?
Tsubakioka University...
No one home.
Oh Priest, something wrong?
Ah, no. I want to talk about the funeral procedure and...
...periodical prayers to Kisaragi-san but it seems no one is home.
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen her for 2 or 3 days.
Maybe she's sick or something?
Well, then...
If you meet her somewhere...
...can you please ask her to call our temple?
Of course I can, but...
I mean... she's not dead isn't she?
Did you smell something?
No way! I smell nothing. Stop saying such a bad joke.
I knew it. Ordinary people can't smell this scent.
This... beast scent.
Even with this age... I can go back to university?
It doesn't hurt.
Both my knee and hip, too.
Mashiro-kun.
Oh, it's you. What is it?
You promised to go shopping with me, today.
But then you went home first and you don't even read your e-mail.
That. Looks like fun.
Someone you know?
Her outfit is a bit different isn't it?
But she has a good smile.
- Hey, let's go. - Eh? Okay.
Eh?
Ah, Ogura-san. Is that a neighborhood notice?
Who are you?
Eh?
I-I'm...
Ki-Kisaragi Sumi's distant relatives.
Distant relatives?! Really?!
I don't know she has such a young distant relatives.
Even if it's true, why do you know my name?
That, um... Sumi-san told me.
You've been helpful to her, she said.
Hm...
Well then, where is Sumi-san?
I have a message for her from Tengaku temple head priest.
Sumi-san is...
...m-move away somewhere.
Move away?!
You must be lying! That's impossible!
It's true.
Since Sumi-san's mother passed away she wants to enjoy her free time.
Ah...?
But this is her house, right?
Moreover, you...
What a persistent lady.
- Ah. - Rei-san!
Sumire-sama and I are Sumi-san's distant relatives.
She entrusted this house to both of us to manage.
Is that so.
Send my regards to Sumi-san.
Okay.
My, what a cute cat! Come play to my house again.
Wait, Rei-san!
What did you do to Ogura-san?
I'm using a special technique to modify her head a little.
Technique?
Don't worry, I won't do it on you.
Because you are my master.
More importantly, I see you got used the young body, already?
I can't get used to it. I'm tired of...
- I'm not tired! - That's good to hear.
As for me, I'm studying a lot of stuff...
...from your collection.
Study?
Seeing how much movie you have recorded...
...to be honest, I'm a bit surprised.
I have lived for 65 years and this is my only hobby.
I watched it again and again, each and every one of it...
...until all of them worn out.
Since in the world of movies, I have no boundaries.
That beautiful world were so wide.
Starting from tomorrow...
...you will blend into that world, yourself.
That same night, for the first time in my life...
...I'm afraid to close my eyes, and go to sleep.
So in the end, you didn't sleep at all.
I'll be okay! I'm young so it won't be a problem if I didn't sleep.
That's the spirit.
- Isn't that awful. - Yes.
- What an old coat. - It's weird.
- Lame! Terrible! - Coming from which era?
It's cold today.
I should have wear a chemise.
Isn't that bad?
They are looking at me?
Why? Is there something wrong?
- Who is that? - Dunno. Never seen her.
Cute but... isn't that outfit a bit weird?
Eh?!
- How hilarious! - What with that granny dress?
Must be a punishment game. Otherwise, it's too lame.
Ah!
- I'm sorry. - Are you okay?
Eh? You are that person...
It's a bit shaky, please be careful.
That student from the bus!
Bus? No, I think I saw you at the park the other day.
- Eh. - So we're from the same university.
First year?
Um... second year.
I'm from the department of literature.
Really? Same as me.
Are you taking that media class too?
Yes, I am.
Well, should we go together?
Are you okay? You're a bit restless (tenpa).
Eh? Tenpa? No, it's not...
Something wrong?
Um... I... I don't actually have a natural curly hair (tennen paama).
You are funny.
Ah, I'm Mashiro Yusei.
Kisaragi Sumi... no, Sumire.
Kisaragi Sumire.
I am very pleased to meet you.
Ah, same here.
Kisaragi-san.
We share the same year and classes but I feel like I've never met you before.
Um... I was always absent...
Always?
Yes, for about 47 years.
Eh?
Ah... no, I mean...
You are really funny.
Yo, Mashiro.
What? Catch a cold?
My head feels really heavy and I want to take a day off but then I'll be in danger.
- Too much absent, yes? - It's pretty bad.
- Um. - Yes?
Would you like some cough candy?
Thank you.
But, who are you?
Looks like you are wearing an amazingly retro outfit.
Kisaragi-san. She said she always absent before.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Tsuji.
It's bad isn't it? First thing you do after such long absence is this boring class.
That's not...
Hey, can I have one too?
- Eh? - Candy.
Ah.
- Here. - Thank you.
Subconscious and unconscious are precisely equivalent...
...both warrant consideration of mental processes of the brain.
Nowadays, psychiatrists take a more limited view of the unconscious...
...than are represented by new age depiction of the subconscious.
Been a long time since I write notes.
- Over there is cafeteria. - Yes.
If you go straight pass here, there is a library.
- Ah, wait. Wait. - Eh?
Here's next.
I'm sorry.
- Is it good so far? - Yes. Thank you.
It's okay. Over there is the student hall.
- Hall? - Yes, there.
What was that about?
Um... Mashiro-san?
You can drop the -san, we share the same year anyway.
Then, Mashiro-kun...
I’m really thankful for being guided around like this but...
...is it okay?
What is?
I've been laughed at.
I think they see me as a weird person.
To be honest, I also think you walk in with a very nostalgic feel with that old clothes.
I knew it.
My mom made this for me a long time ago...
...so it's definitely old fashioned.
A long time ago?
Ah.
Your mom is amazing, then. She can make clothes for you.
Eh?
I'm sorry for calling such an important clothes as old.
No, it's okay.
Because it's kind of true. Other than that...
If it's about me guiding you around, you don't need to feel bad.
But...
You gave me candy.
You know, my dead grandmother...
...always have candies in her bag.
She will said, "here, for you," every single time I met her.
Okay, let's take a break.
I'll buy us something to drink. You may go take a seat, first.
Okay.
Dokkoishotto... (Eldery said this before take a sit.)
Oh my, I said it unconsciously.
Here, tea.
Thank you very much.
You are taking Kurosaki special class?
Yes.
Since a long time ago my hobby revolves around movies.
I wish I can study about it more, with some professional.
That's good. I also one of Kurosaki special class members.
- For real? - Yes.
Hey there, Mashiro-kun. Who is this girl? Never seen her around before.
My name is Kisaragi Sumire.
From my faculty. She took a long absence before. We’ll share the same special class after.
Is that so. Kosaka Arisa, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
You are really polite, aren't you?
A young lady from a very rich family?
No, not at all.
My name is Kisaragi Sumire.
I might be a disturbance but please take care of me.
Welcome to Kurosaki special class.
You don't have to be that stiff. It's okay.
My class mostly learn about communication media so...
...I want it to be as lively and fun as possible.
- I'll do my best. - Good.
As expected, even a professor is younger than me.
Well then, today's after class drinking party will serve as...
...Kisaragi-san's welcoming party as well.
Professor will join us, okay.
Kosaka-kun is as pushy as always.
Ah, not today. My physical condition is really bad, you see.
You don't need to come, Tsuji-kun.
I think I gradually feel better, now.
Kisaragi-san, you're in?
Ah, of course.
I don't really want to.
- Eh? - I’m Nishihara Mio, first year.
In our special class, Kosaka-senpai is the center of everything.
Better be careful around her.
Hey, talking about karaoke, it's been a while since...
...we heard Arisa sing Torisetsu. - Maybe I'll sing today.
So this is Sumire-sama's best friend.
- Having fun, Kisaragi-san? - Yes.
This is my first time going to karaoke.
First time? For real?
Hey, hey. Kisaragi-san said it's her first time going to karaoke.
- Seriously? - It's unusual.
- Don't you have a friend? - It's not like that...
Um... what’s the name of this song?
Eh? You don't know this? But this is really famous.
What kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to...
...Zuutorubi. (Music group from late 1970)
What is that?
You wouldn't know, right.
Here, Kisaragi-san. Choose your song.
Ah, no... I...
I never sang in public before.
Not happening. You are the heroine today. Ah, it’s my turn next.
Okay.
Arisa!
Um, how to...?
This kind of high-tech machine...
All of it written horizontally. I don't understand how to read this.
And, there's no button? I wonder where I should press then.
Can't keep complaining without trying.
What will happen if I...
Eh?
What happened?
Wait, why did you stop it?
Ah, I'm sorry!
I can't believe it.
Do you think it’s normal to stop the music when other people is singing?
I'm really sorry.
This is a high-tech machine.
- I don't understand how to use it. - High-tech?
Don't understand how to use it? What are you? A granny?
That's enough. You're not doing it on purpose, right?
- Yes. - Well, please continue.
I'll go to the toilet for a while.
Um, Kosaka-san, that was...
I said its okay.
If you can't do anything why don't you just disappear.
Eh?
What? Can't understand if I'm not telling you clearly?
Well, let me tell you then.
You're annoying so get lost.
You know, Mashiro-kun is always nice to everyone and because of that...
...sometimes a trash like you stuck on him
You are the only one who got all excited and think you can hang out with us.
I'm truly sorry.
Wearing that awful clothes and then playing a naive character.
Can you stop trying to get attention using that sort of trick?
You are really an eyesore!
Here. You can go home now.
Your share, 3000 yen.
Thank you for today.
It was fun.
Here.
It makes me laugh.
Is it really her first time going to karaoke?
She didn't notice at all that we...
...are the one who stopped it.
Eh? Where is Kisaragi-san?
Ah, looks like she got something to do so she went home first.
Too bad, isn't it? She's the heroine today.
Mashiro-kun!
I should've ask her number.
What are you doing?
Rei-san.
Your face is a bit gloomy for someone who finally able to live her dream.
I was going with the other students to karaoke.
Oh.
But I was useless.
As I thought, I can't make a good impression and they end up hated me.
Can't be help, isn't it?
I don't have any experience playing around with my friends.
I will only be a nuisance to everyone.
And since they are all so very young...
...for the 65 years old me...
...I can’t even imagine how we’ll get along.
You can be friends if you are from the same generation?
Did you manage to have a lot of friends 45 years ago, then?
Impossible. I know.
I had a childhood friend name Yo-chan and we got along pretty well.
We both passed on Tsubakioka University...
...and promised to go together. We were so happy.
But...
Why Sumi-chan have to put up with such burden alone?
After you worked so hard to passed, and now you can't go...
It can't be help.
It really is a hard time for my family.
It's not like that.
Yo-chan really can't take her eyes off the cakes.
What will be Yo-chan’s recommendation?
Hm, Mont Blanc, maybe?
Ah, but shortcake were delicious.
I was...
...jealous of Yo-chan and ran away.
Looking at how dazzling she is...
...I don't want her to see me.
That's why...
...nothing is changed, isn't it?
Back then, and now.
Being timid... and shy...
There will be no meaning if I only look young in appearance.
That's why, I think it's enough.
If being together with those young people make me somber...
...I prefer to live a quiet 65 years old life.
Don't be stupid.
Did you spent your 65 years of life, sleeping?
Did you not feel anything at all?
Did you learn nothing from it?
Are you going to say there's no 65 years of history living inside you?
To care about a youngsters who haven't even lived half past your age.
What a pathetic master.
If you are 65 act like a 65 years old woman.
Lift up your head and be proud!
Isn't today is just the beginning...
...of your wish to be young again?
What? Why are you back?
Forgot something? But we are done here.
Didn't I tell you to go home? Hurry and get out of here.
I'm sorry.
After all, I can't just go home like this.
So please, let me sing one song.
One song? What the...
Kisaragi-san.
What happened? They said you head home first.
- Mashiro-kun... - Mashiro-kun, what should we do?
Somehow she said something selfish like let me sing now and such.
It'll be alright, just one song.
Yes.
Eh, you came back?
We were worried knowing today's heroine went home so suddenly. Right?
- She said she will sing for us. - Oh!
Here.
Whose song is it?
Zuutorubi's Mikan-iro no Koi.
- What song is this? - I don't know.
It's Zuutorubi. Quite an old song.
But it's a good one.
I'm sorry I have been a nuisance.
I'm sorry I act like an old lady.
But...
But, I... from now on, I will work hard.
I pleaded for your guidance and support. Please take care of me!
Dokkoishotto.
And now you came back with a more refreshed face.
I sang in public for the first time.
You worked hard. Just like a 65 years old elderly should do.
Actually, 65 is still not that old to be called an elderly, you know.
Hm. In my era...
...65 is already called as elderly.
Well, let's go home.
I will rest here for a while.
It's bad, isn't it? I was okay before, but...
...when I recall what I've done, my legs starts trembling.
Wait, what!
You can't move your legs, right? If you came down with cold...
...it means my released-from-curse day will recede.
What if someone sees us?!
Ah, someone. You mean that you found interest...
...in one of the gentleman from before? - Ha?
I mean someone you might like.
Someone I like? This is my first day. There's nothing like that.
Anyway, let me go!
What a noisy woman.
No.
What a noisy lady.
Wait! Rei-san!
- Oi. See you later. - See you.
I forgot to ask her number again.
Well then, this is the final part.
With this, the exorcism is completed. How do you feel?
Somehow, my shoulder feels lighter.
- I'm glad, Masafumi! - Thank God.
Anyway, let's sell this on TV! TV!
All you need to do is hit the person on his shoulder, right, Dad?
This will definitely be popular.
We can combine it with my dance. Something like Exorcism Night Show, maybe.
I won't do something that sounds like a talent show.
By the way, is Kisaragi-san call today?
Nope. Anyway, I feel like you are...
...really interested in that house recently?
Somehow, I smell a weird scent coming from that house.
- A scent? - Yes.
This is...
Rei-san, what happened?
Why... Why did I... Why did I return to my original body?
