Go With the Wind

Screenplay: Chiaki Konaka

Director: Tetsuo Imazawa

A northern wind's blowing through!

Dang it.

Dang it, he said!

Hello, Mr. Yaohichi.

Hey there Potpourri, Natsumi.

Mighty cold wind today. Keep warm so you don't catch a cold.

'kaaaay!

So cold!

Not the best weather to play outside in.

You're too wimpy about the cold!

See you later, Natsumi. Bye bye!

Bye bye!

Granny!

Hello, Miss Fukiko!

In here, Potpourri!

Oh, you're making seeds! Magic seeds!

We're starting to run low on the ones you use.

That's right! How'd you know?

See? I only have these left.

But they'll still have to boil overnight.

That's okay.

The wind is super cold today, so I don't even want to use any magic.

I'll come around tomorrow!

We'll be waiting for you.

Bye!

What's that sound?

The seeds are moving on their own?

Why would they move around like that? Do they want to become magic already?

Magic, magic, come on out.

Who is it? Who wants out?

Shuka shuka shuka!

Pinch? What is it?

Shuka shuka!

Shuka!

Shukka shuka!

You wanna go out on a cold day like this?

Shuka!

I guess I have no choice.

Okay, Pinch. Where do you want to fly today?

Shu!

The wind is super cold,

but it's surprisingly fun to fly on a day like this!

Shushuka!

Shu shu! Shu shuka!

What're you saying, Pinch?

Well, whatever it is, you seem to be having fun.

Shuka shuka shu!

I have no idea what that means!

Shu!

P-Pinch!

Shu!

Pinch!

That was scary.

And now the umbrella I borrowed from Miss Fukiko is broken and lost...

Pinch, can we go back? Haven't you had enough?

Shu.

Shu!

Pinch...

Shuka shuka!

Pinch, you never listen...

How far are you planning to fly?

Shuka! Shu shu!

Shuka shu!

It kinda seems like you're talking to someone.

No, you definitely are!

Shuka shuka. Shu!

Maybe I can see whoever he's talking to with Tabith's Loupe.

Show me, show me, show me what I can't see.

There are so many!

Who are they?

Your friends?

Other wind spirits?

That must be it. There's no mistaking it!

Shu shu!

Well someone's having a lot of fun!

But...

Shu.

If we keep flying, where in the world will we end up?

Oh, might you be a witch?

Oh, yes, I am.

I'm still an apprentice, though.

You're a wind spirit too, aren't you, Mister?

So how come you can talk to me?

I've been blowing around for a very long time.

Blow past human cities enough and you'll learn the language.

That's great!

But where are you all headed?

To the east.

Well yeah, obviously. It is a northern wind blowing.

Obviously you say? Well well.

But why does the northern wind blow in winter?

The wind is migrating over to the south.

Migrating?

Well, I'm sure you know of migratory birds.

They move to different places in spring and fall.

The wind is just the same.

We head to the warm places for the winter.

I had no idea!

Most humans don't know. Just witches, like yourself.

Pinch? Are you going to the south with the others?

Shuka.

You can't do that! I live in the Smiling Ginza!

Shu!

Mom will get worried if I just fly to some far-off place!

Shu shu!

Pinch, please listen to me.

Try to understand!

Shuka shuka, shuka.

Shu?

Shukakaka.

Shushu.

Pinch!

Don't worry, little witch.

Your spirit there just wanted to fly with us part of the way.

He's not planning on coming all the way south with us.

Oh, that's how it is.

The wind is fickle and you should strive to be just as fickle when dealing with it.

Well then, this is where we part ways.

Mister wind spirit!

I'll blow around, come next spring!

Goodbye!

Thank you! See you next year!

Shuka shuka!

Shu.

There we go.

That was fun.

We were seen?

Shuka shuka!

I-I... Uh...

This'll be our little secret, okay?

Yeah!

If he was a girl, he could be a witch like me.

Let's go home, Pinch.

Mom's about to come home.

I wanna fly more.

I wanna fly more.

Pinch!

Did you just talk to me?

Shu?

Did you just say you wanted to fly more?

Shu shu!

Say it again!

Please, Pinch!

I wanna fly more, Potpourri!

Pinch... I... I just understood what you said!

I understood what you said to me!

Shu shu! Shuka!

I feel like I've been waiting so long for that.

I always wanted to understand my magic more.

I always wanted to be able to talk to you!

Shuka!

Pinch!

Shuka shuka! Shu!

Hey, wait up, Pinch!

Shu!

You really are too fickle.

Pinch! Let's fly again soon!

Oh, I need to go tell Miss Fukiko!

Miss Fukiko!

Miss Fukiko!

hitoribocchi hitotsu wasurerateta ki no mi

A lone fruit, from a forgotten tree.

furikaette futatsu kinou fuita kaze yo

Turn around and there's two, with the wind from yesterday.

mikazuki ni mittsu omoide o uta

Three with the crescent moon, singing of reminiscence.

Fourth is joy, of that small life.

yorokobi o yottsu chiisakatta inochi

One day, it will be told. One day, gently.
