Original subtitles

I'm Kazuki Shikimori and I'm seventeen years old.

I'm a normal high school student attending Aoi Campus,

and I possess the genes that will give birth to the greatest magician in history.

But I used up all of my magic, so my body turned to ash and disappeared.

All that's left of me is a ghost.

Despite that, Yuna, Kuriko and Rin are by my side as always.

Even though I can't do anything.

See ya!

Hello?

Yes. Yes, I understand.

Let's meet at the same place as before, then.

Now then...

Where are you going?

It doesn't matter.

You have seemed so busy recently.

Is it all right to be leaving Shikimori be like this?

You want his genes, do you not?

Yes, but...

Wait a moment!

Sorry.

I'm busy.

Am I a nuisance?

Kazuki...

Um, Kazuki, what would you like for your cotton candy dinner?

Japanese style, western style, Chinese...

Hey, yeah! Italian would be good once in a while too.

If that's the case, pasta style would be best, right, Kazuki?

Do you not like Italian?

No, that's not it...

You are as indecisive as always.

Shikimori, have you seen Kuriko?

No, I haven't.

I see...

Is something the matter?

The student council asked me to look for her.

It appears that Kuriko is not staying after school recently.

That would cause problems if Kuriko isn't around, wouldn't it?

And it is not just the student council.

I am also...

quite troubled as well.

I have an idea where she is.

Well? Will you come with me to look for her?

He's late.

To make me of all people wait...

It's not right for us to follow her.

We have found her, but what in the world is she doing?

It looks like she is waiting for someone.

Maybe it's a date.

See, it's a date. Let's just leave her be.

Hello.

He sure is late.

Sorry!

Taki-san!

You've been waiting for a while, huh?

No, not at all.

So it is a man!

Money?!

It's like we're snooping. Shouldn't we just stop this?

We cannot!

Exactly. If we do not take her back,

the people in the student council will continue to be troubled.

Don't tell me Kuriko is...

Doing some of this!

Or some of that!

Oh no!

You must not take that money, Kuriko!

She is right, Kuriko!

This really isn't right, you guys.

Um, wouldn't it be better to just talk to her instead of following her around?

Where could Kuriko be going?

More importantly, I think that we are being too conspicuous and that she will see us.

It's because of that... that man that Kuriko will not pay any attention to me!

Yes, we certainly are conspicuous.

Uh, hello.

Mom, look at that!

You mustn't look!

It really would be best to talk to her.

It's not good to do things like this.

That's true...

Please wait.

We still have not determined exactly what is going on.

If we are wrong, things will go very badly.

That is...

It seems it would be best to watch a bit longer and see how things develop.

Mom!

They look like they're enjoying themselves, don't you think?

Perhaps we were making too much of this.

But Kuriko did take money from that man.

Exactly.

We still do not know.

No matter how you look at it, it just seems like a normal date.

It appears we were making too much of this.

It does look that way, doesn't it?

No, it is still too soon for that. Kuriko has taken suspicious money.

Filthy money that is drenched in lust!

I think that they're just on a normal date.

It does seem that way.

The two of them are starting to look pretty good together to me.

I'm telling you, it would be best for us to just go home.

True enough. I will explain this to the student council.

No, no! That man has used dirty money to make my Kuriko...

Give me back my Kuriko!

Kuriko! Kuriko! I am right here!

They have come to a suspicious place at last.

We shall get some evidence and reveal that man's true colors!

This is a plain old park.

The park is pretty standard procedure for a date.

I don't think it's anything you need to worry about, Elizabeth.

I brought this along just in case, but...

You are all too naive!

Take the fountain in this park, for example.

There are young couples that, right in the middle of the day, will...

Jeez! We lost sight of them because you had to go and say something weird like that!

I am certain that they are headed for the fountain.

So, which way should we go to get there?

This is my first time here. I do not know.

What?

Got you!

Kazuki!

What?

Oh my. I finally captured him and you all had to do something so uncalled for.

What are you trying to do to Kazuki?

Just what are you after?

Miss Akai...

That is a good question.

I came here to obtain a specimen to put on display and gaze upon.

You can understand that, can't you...

Shikimori?!

No, I can't!

Shikimori!

Where are you going?

Miss Akai! Please stop this!

If you do not...

Yes, yes. There's no need to look so fearsome.

It appears that she is quite fond of you.

Yeah, it does.

Why you...

How dare you do such a shameless thing to my Kuriko?!

Wait! Elizabeth!

I will not let you lay a single finger upon her breasts!

Huh?

Kuriko...

Yes?

Please marry me.

Yes.

So that is what things have come to.

That was an unexpected development, huh?

Are you all right, Elizabeth?

I am. Do not worry about me.

Okay.

This has cleared things up.

We were mistaken after all.

I didn't think that Kuriko would do anything strange,

or get involved with strange men.

Of course not.

She is not like you, Shikimori.

Still, I was surprised.

I never imagined that she would be getting married.

It makes sense as to why she was not attending the student council.

After all, this will affect the rest of her life.

But...

I know what you are trying to say.

Kuriko had made so many advances on you,

and now those are going to stop.

Of course you would feel lonely.

No, that's not it...

You are no good at lying, are you?

But is Kuriko really all right with getting married?

I am certain that the Kazetsubaki family has its own circumstances to deal with.

Hey! That's mine!

Huh?

You are not concentrating enough.

When we think about unnecessary things, our bodies pass through objects.

You still have a long way to go.

Well, you're thinking about Kuriko too...

That is not true! Look carefully.

See? It is because I am not thinking of unnecessary things.

Elizabeth!

Please don't cry.

I feel a little bit sad too, but this is about Kuriko's happiness, so...

From here on, we should be watching over them kindly.

Oh, how beautiful!

There are so many different kinds of designs.

Which one do you like, Kuriko?

Hmm? Which do I like?

I'll buy you whichever one you like.

Or rather, I will when we decide on our new home.

Yeah...

Shall we look at another floor?

We still have time, after all.

Time?

I made reservations at a wonderful restaurant for you.

Thank you, Taki-san.

You can call me Koichi.

I am sorry.

Using protective magic, we were able to keep anyone from being injured,

but if we have to pay for damages...

I guess we'll have to borrow it from Kuriko.

She's probably enjoying herself right now.

I'd feel kind of bad about spoiling it.

Let's talk to her about it tomorrow.

But either way, we need to stop trying to get close to the two of them.

Yes, we cannot cause her any more trouble.

Right.

Elizabeth, what will you...

Huh?

She's gone.

Oh, how lovely!

I'd like to raise a toast with glasses like these, just the two of us.

We'll be able to do that soon, right?

What's the matter?

Nothing, it's just...

Let's go look over there.

Okay.

Kuriko...

Mama! Let's go there!

Am I a nuisance?

It is not my intention to be a nuisance to you, Kuriko.

Elizabeth...

Shikimori...

Shikimori.

Let's go home, Elizabeth.

Shikimori...

Are you all right?

Elizabeth, are you all right?

And here is your aperitif.

If you'll excuse me.

I realize you probably can't appreciate wine yet, but...

Oh, okay.

What timing.

Sorry.

I'm going to go take this call.

It's all right. I'll see you when you get back.

It is because you were not focusing your concentration that I passed through you.

I'm sorry.

Don't call me out when I'm on a job.

Oh, but that's cruel of you to say.

When will you pay me back my money?

Soon, I told you. I'll be coming into a lot of money in a little bit.

We're talking the Kazetsubaki fortune.

Oh, whatever, just get it back to me quick.

I borrowed the money that I lent to you today from a dangerous sort.

And I'm not the only one that's been borrowing, right?

Found me out, did you?

Seriously, I'm counting on you.

If you don't take care of things, it'll be some scary guys that come to see you instead of me.

Yeah, yeah, I got you.

That's fine, then. Bye bye!

Now then, time to work hard and earn my money.

Why you...

I see, so that is how it is.

How horrible...

Seriously.

You've got to throw cigarettes away in ash trays.

Kuriko, I'm really sorry to bring this up so suddenly, but...

What is it?

You see, that call earlier was... No, never mind.

What's the matter?

Um, that is...

Has something happened?

Well, yes.

The truth is...

I'm suddenly in need of money...

a rather large amount.

Oh my.

Kuriko!

Who are you?!

Shut up, you womanizer!

Kuriko, he's pulling one over on you!

He's after your money!

I cannot forgive you! I will cut you down!

What did you say?!

Just who the hell are you four, anyway?!

I am Kuriko's daughter!

Daughter?

What? Could it be that you were once married?!

I do not know these people at all.

I don't know who you are or where you're from,

but you're causing problems for the other customers.

Please leave.

Kuriko!

Oh, Kuriko! You're being fooled, Kuriko!

Kuriko!

Kuriko!

Kuriko!

Kuriko!

Oh, if this is how it is going to be, then I shall use force!

Yeah!

You're all so dense!

I'm telling you, you've got it all wrong! Please go home!

Snap out of it!

This is for your sake, Kuriko!

That is right. Leave it to us!

Kuriko!

He's getting away! He's escaping!

Oh, someone please do something about these people!

What is this?

Oh, no! You perverts!

Who are you people?

The Metropolitan Police?!

That's right, we're the police.

Inspector!

Ah, good work!

This is the recorder with the evidence on it.

This is as far as you go.

Um, Kuriko...

We were on our way back from eating at the burger place in front of the train station...

On your way from destroying it, you mean.

I can't believe you did that!

I'm sorry. I'll take care of the money somehow, and soon.

That's not what I mean!

I'm talking about the man I was with when you interrupted.

But we thought you were being deceived by him...

You're wrong.

He's a notorious con man and the police asked me to help investigate him.

The plan was to get proof of him asking for money, then arrest him.

What?!

But Kuriko, what about that money you got from him?

Oh, that? That was...

You didn't have to pay me back so quickly.

I would have been fine with it being my treat.

A man should pay for his date.

Even if I had forgotten my wallet,

I couldn't leave things where the lady had paid for it.

And you shouldn't be causing problems for Rin, either.

Kuriko...

Kuriko...

I am not a nuisance?

Just causing problems for me is enough, isn't it?

Really, what am I going to do with you?

Kuriko!

Kuriko!

And so, we snooped.

He was a truly pathetic man!

I'm the one who wants to be angry!

Seriously, thanks to you guys...

By the way, Yuna, what is the next episode?

Right! The next episode of Maburaho is "They Decided"

Please look forward to it.

Don't try to change the subject!
