The view I grabbed hold of while I was unconscious

isn't the future I was waiting for

That's a smile I don't know and never saw

I stood still, as if stapled to the spot

It's a complete wreck

Our two worlds are overflowing

I'm a total wreck

I can't hold back my paradoxical emotions anymore

With my reckless heart, someday I'll get over you and move on

At some point,

a shadowy heart overtook me with these entangled feelings

Run, run

That's always the only thing I can do

So I'll run quickly, quickly, quickly to that destination

Kanbaru.

Surely you didn't do something almost akin to harassment like dumping all the mess from other rooms into your own

because you knew I was coming to clean it, did you?

Whatever are you saying?

A false accusation has been hurled at me!

But if it's you, Araragi, hurl all the praise or all your doubts at me and I'll still be over the moon!

I'm definitely not gonna praise your personality.

Well, I'll take my leave now.

The sun has long since set.

Whoa there.

Hold your horses, Araragi.

I'm not about to let my admirable senior, not to mention the best of the best, my dear Araragi,

leave after cleaning my room without doing anything.

Doing anything?

What are you scheming?!

I think I should at least serve you some tea.

No, tea won't suffice.

The least I can do is prepare some dinner for you.

Guess I'll stay to eat, then.

Great.

Before you take your seat in the dining room, could you take a bath for me?

It just isn't proper to dine in such filthy attire.

Hot

This is great and all, but I can't relax.

What?! The door won't open!

It's been locked!

Are you all right, Araragi?! Did something happen?!

I'll save you right away!

Open up at once!

Come out with your hands in the air!

This is your only warning!

I am Kanbaru Suruga!

Araragi's sex slave!

Red

My special move is the wall jump!

Why won't it open?!

You've forced my hand.

I'll have to go get that pole thing riot squads use to breach doors!

Give it a rest!

And don't go using tools you can't even name!

Oh, so you're safe, Araragi.

Boy, you gave me a fright!

I thought for sure someone had locked you up and I was ever so worried.

You're about the only person on the planet who'd want to lock me up.

That might not be the case.

Senjougahara might also be inclined to.

Surely you jest. Even Senjougahara wouldn't go that far.

Well, if there's been a misunderstanding, I'd like to clear it up.

I was only thinking it my duty as hostess to have your clothing laundered.

By no means did I have any ulterior motives.

If you still hold your doubts, I can even wash your body in addition to your clothes,

both the front and the back!

I'm proposing that in exchange for your cleaning of my dirty room, I shall render your body equally as clean.

It's your mind that's dirty here.

How can you harbor such dirty thoughts when you bathe in such a resplendent bath every day?

Well, when you praise the bath, I have to agree with you.

If I were overly modest at this juncture, I may come off as sarcastic.

I must say that it's not just the bath itself— the bathwater is also superb.

We heat up the well water we draw from the garden ourselves.

Some kinda bore water packed full of some kinda mineral.

That reminds me of something, Araragi.

Whatever could it be, Kanbaru?

There's a bit of a story that goes with that well water.

What kind of story?

It's a story from my father.

As you might imagine, my dad used that water all the time for his daily necessities.

I'm following you.

However, ever since he was a child, he would very occasionally notice something odd while bathing.

Notice what?

He noticed... some kind of phenomenon, is the best way to put it.

I won't go so far as to say it concerned an oddity, but it seems it was certainly an odd phenomenon.

You're being awfully selective.

Like, right down to the minute.

Araragi, have a look at the surface of the water you're soaking in.

I had a look.

Not that I'd want to know, but is there something weird about the water?

Not with the water, no.

I didn't mean the water.

What I said to look at was

the water's surface.

I-I can't die quite yet.

We've only just started our wonderful relationship.

Our courting is still fresh.

I want to go on many, many more dates with you.

Right now, life is far too precious for me to perish.

Is that so?

What joyous words to my ears.

I suppose you needn't die, then.

Senjougahara, you are far too easy.

Senjougahara, you are far too easy.

You should've insisted I die a few more times.

You should've insisted I die a few more times.

And so, in that vein I went to Kanbaru's to do a little cleaning.

You went out of your way to a junior's house to clean for them?

How considerate you are.

Though having a bath there was a bit imprudent. Makes me think that you should die.

Don't think that.

Better than thoughts of murder, right?

So, Araragi, what did you make of Kanbaru's little tale?

Well, it certainly was an odd one.

Perhaps odd isn't the right word for it.

I'd call it romantic.

For Kanbaru's dad to see the image of the person he would one day marry in the water's surface, that is.

That's how the story goes.

It seems it wasn't all the time, but at least some of the time.

The important bit is that he saw the image of the woman he would one day elope with.

And eventually, he stopped seeing it.

However, when Kanbaru's father met her mother, Gaen Tooe,

he was apparently shocked beyond belief.

By the by, when you peered at the water's surface, whom did you see reflected back at you?

Me?

Myself?

Or possibly me?

Come on.

Hanekawa?

Kanbaru?

Hachikuji?

Terrifying!

Well, I didn't really see anyone else.

Just the reflected image of my own face.

I see.

I'd actually already heard that story from Kanbaru.

Though I'd forgotten all about it until you told me just now.

I was, after all, still a good girl at that point in time, so I didn't say anything out of turn.

I'm trying to say that I had a rather pleasant personality back then.

Senjougahara Hitagi

I wasn't the twisted, malicious, cynical mess of a woman I've since become.

Probably a bit too much self-awareness there.

Meaning I wasn't about to say anything uncouth to shatter the romantic essence of her beloved story.

Now for the epilogue—or rather, the outcome.

Wait.

You mean to tell me that Kanbaru's dad saw his own face reflected like a mirror,

but he mistook that to be the face of his future spouse?

Nah, that's drawing a longbow for sure.

A water's surface sways, shimmers, and undulates.

You mustn't think of it as a mirror.

Given that, surely his rippling reflection could, on occasion, look like a girl.

Well, sure, when a kid is young and there aren't many secondary sex characteristics, that could be plausible.

But that wouldn't be the case for an adult—

or rather, when someone gets old enough to recognize those differences.

Yes, I'm sure someone would notice.

That's why he eventually stopped seeing a different face.

However, in his mind, the memory of seeing another person's face was firmly cemented.

And so he took that to be his fated partner?

That's a bit of a stretch.

You've got the order of events backward.

When he met the person he felt destined to meet,

his hazy memories of his reflected face fit his newfound interpretation of events.

I guess it would seem that way to the man himself.

In matters of romance, people do tend to gravitate toward people similar to themselves.

Well, that's my interpretation of it, anyway.

If you say anything unnecessary to Kanbaru, I'll murder you.

If you let anything slip, I'll never forgive you.

If you utter any careless words, you'd best commit suicide before the morning comes.

Hey, Kanbaru.

I forgot to ask you before, but I wanted to hear your opinion.

What exactly do you see when you look at that water's surface when you're taking a bath?

If Kanbaru's dad's interpretation is correct,

Kanbaru's future life partner should be reflected for her.

Not

But if Senjougahara's interpretation is on the money,

it might just be that her reflection resembles Kanbaru's own mother.

It even wouldn't be too far-fetched for her to percieve her father's visage.

If so, that'd be rather sentimental in its own right.

Hm?

Oh, I just see my own boobs.

And I must say they strike a most erotic image.

I can't get enough of staring at them.

The vivid contrast they make with my abs entrances me utterly, and I end up soaking too long every night.

To be frank, I don't think anything else even reaches my retinas.

So, why do you ask...

I kick a stone away to get rid of my worries

I'm downplaying the flutter I feel this April

We were happy children full of curiosity

I was the one who pushed you forward

Let's escape our confines and stop on the way

Let's ride our bikes to far away

carrying our hopes and dreams in the basket

The future we talked about looks nice

The shadows grow longer,

and we are none the wiser
