It's been quite a while, Mario.

It's nice to see you again.

What do you want of me?

An excellent fortune teller like you... You already know, don't you?

Miss Luna...

Where is Miss Luna?

If you are going, make sure you don't end up like Count Kinkel...

Rid yourself of your desires. And bring mind to nothingness.

You need not worry.

Oh?

Yes. I am not as weak as the count was.

Books...

Thank you very much, Frieze.

Uuh... It's freezing today.

Okay, let's try it again.

Huh?

Oh, yeah... she's a day walker...

She's fine even during the day.

It's almost time, Haiji.

Okay.

Hey, what are you doing?

Sh. Be quiet, will you? We're in the middle of a battle.

Battle?

A bun?

Episode 16

A bun?

Here it comes.

Huh?

A crow...

Haiji.

Okay. Here I go.

Go. That's the way. Give him all you've got.

You did it.

Um... Hello...

Listen, we're at the climax. Don't bother us, will you?

- Look. - Huh?

There was another one.

What's that?

Huh?

Haiji.

Haiji. Are you all right?

Take this.

Ugh. Ow. Stupid. Oh... this makes me so mad.

They got both buns, after all.

What the heck?

Not "what the heck," servant.

This is a sorrowful tale of love and sadness.

About 30 minutes ago, right here on this porch,

there were two cat-ear buns for my master's and my snack.

Master and I made tea in the kitchen

and returned to the porch with our herrts singing, when...

Why, you.

Wait. Give me back that bun.

As you well know, the buns from Furufuru-do are my master's favorite.

It's unforgivable that the crows targeted them.

Thank you. You're the only one who understands how I feel, Haiji.

I see... So that's why you tried to use the remaining bun

to punish the thieving crows.

Those crow brothers. Should I let this bitterness go unanswered?

Forget it. That's ridiculous. I'll buy you more buns, so give it up.

That's not what this is about.

It's a matter of pride. I was bested by crows.

I can't just let them get away with it.

You hate to lose, don't you?

We'll see who can last longer.

I'll use more sweets to lure them in. I'll catch them when their guard is down.

Haiji, go and hide behind something.

Okay.

Catch them? Listen, they won't come if you're there.

No problem, so long as I erase all signs of my presence. Just watch.

Erase signs of your presence?

Whoa... Amazing. There's not a sign of movement...

Listen. What are you doing?

What? Uh...

I erased all signs of my presence, but what's the use, with you here, Kouhei?

Eh... Oh... oh, I see.

Of course... Sorry.

Somehow... It reminds me of that day... when I first met her.

I wish I could take her...

This might work.

I'm back...

Oh. Welcome home.

What are you doing?

Can't you see? Sit-ups.

Why here?

The level of the floor is just right.

Is that so? Oh, where's Hazuki?

What? Didn't she go out with you?

She's not here?

I haven't seen her.

There's no sign of her presence. Perhaps she's gone out.

What? What's the matter? Hey.

- Huh? - Huh?

Grandfather.

It can't be... It's been an hour since then.

She hasn't moved at all?

Gotcha.

Haiji. The rope.

Okay.

- We did it. - We did it.

- Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. - Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. Hurray.

- Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. - Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. Hurray. Hurray.

Huh?

Hey, what are you doing laughing?

I'm sorry, but watching you...

You're really something.

Why, you. You're making fun of me.

No. I really think you're amazing.

No, you don't. I know you don't. Haiji, tie him up too.

Okay.

Oh, uh, stop that. Stop it, Haiji.

Tighter. Tighter.

Ouch. Stop it..

I'm sorry, Elfriede.

Is your backache gone?

Yes. It's much better. I guess I really shouldn't push myself too hard.

Grandfather...

- Antiques are very interesting, aren't they? - Huh?

This vase... I wonder how much it was worth when it was made.

Now, after so much time has passed, it holds so much meaning...

This vase holds the flow of time within itself.

Oh, I'm sorry for going on like that...

Elfriede... If you don't mind that I am so old,

please say whatever you want to me.

I can't imagine the hardships you're suffered,

but speaking about them might ease your pain.

Grandfather...

Then, I'll take you up...

Such a rude customer...

Welcome.

Hello.

Anzai...

You're really going to buy me what you promised, aren't you?

Yes. One week's worth of neko mimi buns from Furufuru-do.

I swear I'll buy them for you.

Funny... It was 10-day's worth, wasn't it?

I don't think I'll be your model. I want to go home.

Oh, okay. 10-day's worth.

I will. I'll buy them for you.

I'll do whatever pose you want.

I'm the one ready to go home now.

What? Kohei's gone out?

Yes. Just a while ago. He said he was going driving with Miss Hazuki.

How could he go for a drive?

What's he going to do about the shoot at the occult spots?

He didn't say a thing about that.

But the deadline's today...

Okay... Let's do it here.

Kouhei, how do you want me to pose?

Shall I give you a little bonus?

No, thanks.

Then, how about cat ears?

No, no.

Why, I'm wracking my brains for you.

Just act normal. I want pictures of your everyday self.

Oh?

Huh? Why are you blushing?

Oh, it's hot. It's so hot. So hot.

Listen... It's winter.

Never mind. Just take those pictures.

Or I'll raise it to a month's worth of buns.

No. I'm not taking them yet.

Huh? Why?

I have an idea. We'll wait until sunset.

Huh?

Wipe wipe...

Sorry...

Hm?

And so, since we have time now... shall we have some fun?

Have you ever fished before?

How rude. Of course, I have.

You have? Then, here...

Just you wait and see. I'll catch lots of big ones.

Oh, earthworms...

What's wrong?

I don't need this.

You don't need... You can't fish without bait.

I can. It's all in your spirit.

Spirit?

Spirit. Spirit.

Yes, spirit. Spirit.

Hey, let me bait your line. Wait, now... Hazuki.

Here. Give me your pole.

Well, if you insist, I'll let you put the bait on. It can't be helped. Here.

Not very meek, are you? No, perhaps she is, in a sense...

What are you doing? Hurry up.

All right. All right.

Huh?

It got away. Kouhei, bait it, will you?

Huh? Okay.

Kouhei... bait.

Okay. Shall we go and shoot some pictures?

Wait. I haven't caught anything yet.

Oh. I got something. Kouhei, I got a bite.

What? Pull back on the pole. The pole.

Gotcha.

I caught one. I caught one.

Okay. Grab it. Grab it.

I can't. I can't.

Yes, you can. Hurry up and grab it.

I can't. Take the fish, will you? Hurry up.

Yes. He took it.

That's not what I meant. Kouhei.

Our nighttime shoot has ended successfully. You must be tired.

She's defenseless...

Ouch.

Hiromi. What are you doing?

What am I doing? How could you break our appointment for the occult spot shoot?

Huh?

- Oh. - What do you mean, "Oh"?

Ow.

Humph. I had no choice, but to go alone. I'm exhausted.

Huh?

This...

Not bad, huh?

What a strange picture...

I'm not sure what it is, but there's something amazing about Hazuki.

Yeah... really amazing... She's amazing. Compared to her...

Hey, where are you going? Give me back that picture.

I'll borrow it for a while.

Borrow it?

I'll be right back.

Huh?

I'm going to give you a shot.

Ooh... that's so cute.

Now, for my next one.

Wonderful. You're so cute, Miss.

Grandfather, please take all the pictures of Miss Hazuki that you can.

All right, but why this sudden need?

I suddenly find I love having pictures taken of mew. Nyaa.

What do you think, Chief Editor?

Isn't it amazing?

It's too good to be a composite,

and I can't believe Morioka-kun capable of doing that.

That means it hasn't been touched up, but in that case...

I think it was taken in moonlight, but the depth of field is in focus...

which means the lens was stopped down quite a bit.

The shutter would have to be open for a long time to get this effect.

Oh... I see.

In other words, this girl stood there in this pose,

all the while the stars were moving.

Huh? What? No way.

- Say, Elfriede... - Yes?

Why are you going along with my whims?

Well... I guess maybe it's because I've got time.

That's what I thought.

Since I've won my freedom, I'd better do what I want to do.

- It's the same for me, but... - Huh?

I'm here like this... and I had Kouhei take my pictures... because I wanted to.

That's what I wanted to do.

And yet, Kouhei... No, not just Kouhei.

They're keeping me company, and yet... even Grandfather and Hiromi-nee-sama...

...worry about me for no reason, and are so apologetic...

I don't like seeing that.

- But it's the opposite... - Huh?

You don't realize it, do you, Miss?

Why are you laughing? I don't understand.

I'm sorry... I love you, Miss...

Huh?

W-W-What are you doing, Elfriede? Is that what you like?

Huh?

I won't bathe with you again.

What? No way...

"No way"? Don't come any closer.

I wonder what I can do...

The moon reflects a sorrowful premonition

This sorrowful premonition

One day

my painful memories will torture me.

In pursuit of your dream's horizon,

will you need me?

Je pressens...

I sense...

Onii-sama... You really want to do riddles with me, don't you? Don't you?

Um... What do you have only one of, but they say you have two of?

I knew the answer right away.

Furu, furu, furu moon.

On the next Moon Phase: "Onii-sama, Why Is This Happening?"

The answer is: Nimotsu

"nimotsu" is "a load," "ni" means "two"

Episode 15

Good night, Onii-sama.
