00:01We're on a journey to bring Spring to Yamato.
00:04Luckily, we haven't run into any trouble so far.
00:07But we can never be too careful.
00:11So, I've asked the agent of Summer if we can stay with her while we're here on Io.
00:17They said yes?
00:19I'm sure the two of you will have plenty of things to talk about.
00:22Agents rarely get the chance to see each other.
00:24Something to look forward to.
00:27Also, the agency will keep its distance.
00:30They won't monitor us as much in another season's territory.
00:34I can finally get Lady Hinagiku away from things that bother her.
00:38Like the agency, the village, potential insurgent attacks.
00:42This is about more than keeping her safe from danger.
00:45We lost so much time together. I'm taking it back.
00:51Hinagiku is curious about the agent of Summer.
00:55Do you think she could be Hinagiku's friend?
00:59Ha!
01:00Ha!
01:01Ha!
01:03Ha!
01:04Ha!
02:45But I was wrong.
02:47Everything changed.
02:49Why me?
02:51I don't understand.
02:54Sakura!
02:56Look at this!
02:57A bunny!
02:58Yes, it's very adorable indeed.
03:00And a puppy!
03:01And a kitty!
03:03See?
03:03That's quite an unusual friendship.
03:05And the birds!
03:06And the squirrels!
03:08This is paradise, Lady Hinagiku.
03:10I will take your picture so I can always remember this moment.
03:13I'm glad to see you two get along with animals.
03:17It's nice to meet you.
03:18It's nice to meet you.
03:18I am the guard of summer.
03:20My name is Ayame Hazakura.
03:24Please, come in.
03:26Would you like me to prepare rooms for the rest of your security detail?
03:29No, thank you.
03:31We've asked them to accompany us at a distance.
03:34You must be exhausted after such a long journey.
03:39Sakura!
03:40The room is almost as beautiful as the garden!
03:43I'm delighted to hear the space is to your liking.
03:46We appreciate your hospitality.
03:47Yes, thank you.
03:49It's perfect, Lady Hazakura.
03:52You're welcome.
03:53Though, I'd prefer you call me Ayame, if you don't mind.
03:56It should make things much easier when you meet the agent, since the two of us share the Hazakura name.
04:02I'm sorry.
04:04I should have explained earlier.
04:06Lady Ayame and the agent of summer?
04:08They're sisters.
04:11One's an agent?
04:12And one's a guard?
04:17Hinagiku and Sakura aren't blood, aren't sisters.
04:20But still, sometimes it feels like they are.
04:23Don't you think?
04:25I would never presume to call myself your sister!
04:29Hinagiku thought Sakura would like being her sister.
04:33But she doesn't.
04:35So, she was wrong.
04:37Hold on!
04:38That's not what I meant at all!
04:40I'll be anything you want!
04:41Your sister!
04:42Your friend, or even just your sword!
04:44Please, I would be honored if you called me sister!
04:47Are you sure?
04:49Yes, I'm positive!
04:51I'd heard rumors that you two were close.
04:53But if anything, it seems everyone was underselling it.
04:58Well?
05:00As someone who got stuck serving her spoiled little sister, I admit I'm a little jealous.
05:05Your sister's spoiled?
05:06Yes.
05:08Yes.
05:08To put it mildly.
05:11Speaking of, now that we're settled in, my lady and I were hoping to get the chance to meet her.
05:17Unfortunately, she's resting right now.
05:19Maybe another time, though.
05:41The animals are all very affectionate.
05:44Feel free to cuddle with them as much or as little as you want.
05:46You have so many animals, but why is that?
05:52The agent of Summer was bestowed with a power known as life operation.
05:56She can use it to speak with or even control animals.
05:58So lucky.
06:00Hinagiku wishes she could do that.
06:02It's just not fair.
06:03While I imagine talking to animals is fun, Summer comes with its own set of challenges.
06:08Feeding and caring for them is outrageously expensive.
06:11You should see our yearly budget.
06:13I always find myself wishing that I had more to spend on Lady Hinagiku's wardrobe.
06:17And you understand!
06:18Picking out the wardrobe is the best part of our job!
06:21I love it!
06:22I bet you spent some real money on that.
06:25The world of traditional dress is perilous, yes.
06:27And yet...
06:29Look at her!
06:30The charm she exudes while wearing it makes every sacrifice worth it!
06:33It's so inspiring!
06:35Oh, how I wish I could follow your example!
06:37But my agent has always preferred more Western style.
06:40Well...
06:41At least it keeps our expenses down.
06:43Uh, or maybe...
06:44Hinagiku doesn't need to wear a kimono.
06:48A suit might work.
06:49Don't be ridiculous, Lady Hinagiku!
06:50I must agree!
06:51You can't toss away your signature look for a boring suit!
06:54Traditional is the perfect attire for you!
06:56Really?
06:57Absolutely!
06:58Absolutely!
06:59Absolutely!
07:00Absolutely!
07:01Absolutely!
07:02Absolutely!
07:02Absolutely!
07:02Absolutely!
07:05Absolutely!
07:07Absolutely!
07:08Absolutely!
07:09Absolutely!
07:09Absolutely!
07:11Absolutely!
07:12Absolutely!
07:13Absolutely!
07:14Absolutely!
07:15Absolutely!
07:16Absolutely!
07:16Absolutely!
07:16Absolutely!
07:19Absolutely!
07:37Thank you for bringing Spring to Io. You must be tired after all those rites. I'll find some refreshments for
07:44you.
07:44Allow me to help with that. Lady Hinagiko, we'll be right back, so get some rest.
07:50Sure.
07:51Well then, Lady Kaio, if you'll excuse us.
08:11Mr. Bun, hello.
08:15It's nice to see you. Are you having a good day?
08:18Lady?
08:25Oh.
08:34Oh.
08:48Hello, Hinagiko.
08:50Um, Kaio?
08:51So, uh...
08:53My chubi, the agent of summer, Hinagiko was hoping to meet you. What's your name? Is that rude? Do you
09:01need Hinagiko's help?
09:06You're so quiet. Is it because Hinagiko speaks strangely?
09:13It's fine. I'm Nuri. Nuri, the agent of summer.
09:17Ah, well, Hinagiko is... well, Hinagiko is... just her.
09:23My sister. She's been talking about me, hasn't she?
09:26Oh, Lady Ayame? She said you were resting because you're not feeling well, right?
09:34That's all she said? She didn't explain what happened?
09:39No...
09:39Right, I guess it shouldn't surprise me. Ayame doesn't care about me at all.
09:44Wait! What would make you think that?
09:46She welcomed the agent of spring without even asking me if I wanted to be a part of it.
09:50But you weren't feeling well.
09:52That's just what she said. I feel fine. But... I stay here because I'm mad. I'm only doing it to
09:59annoy her.
10:01I mean... she has no idea. It's so easy for her!
10:08Lady Summer? Hinagiko doesn't want to sound rude. So please, don't take this the wrong way, but...
10:17Hinagiko thinks that...
10:18Ruri!
10:19My lady! I've been looking for you.
10:22So sorry.
10:24Ruri! Come out here and apologize!
10:28No, it's fine. There's no need for that.
10:31You can't just lock yourself away every time you don't get exactly what you want!
10:35Please, Lady Ayame. There's no need. She just said, hello. She wasn't rude. Really, so...
10:43It's alright. Don't let yourself get worked up. No harm done.
10:54I hope you can forgive me for losing my temper. To be honest, I can't stand how selfish she's being.
11:01Please don't let it bother you. It's okay.
11:03I couldn't bring myself to tell you before, but Ruri shut herself in her room three months ago and hasn't
11:09come out for a moment since.
11:11You could say she's on strike.
11:14And why exactly would she do that?
11:16I'm getting married soon, so I'm resigning from my position. My sister has had a hard time accepting that reality.
11:29Hey, Sakura. Are you planning on getting married in the future?
11:33What?! No!
11:34Of course not! My only purpose is to stay by your side for the rest of my life! I neither
11:38plan nor desire to get married!
11:41Right. Okay. Not even if it was Brother Itacho that asked you. What about then?
11:47My lady? Why would you mention that man's name?
11:50S-Sakura! You're scary. It's just… a long time ago. It seemed like… you thought of Itacho as maybe…
12:00As you said, it was a long time ago. Those feelings have been dead and buried for a decade now.
12:05They're rotting in the ground.
12:07Is… that true?
12:09Yes, it is.
12:11Oh, no. Then after… everything…
12:19Lady Hinagiku? Lady Hinagiku!
12:23S-Sakura… it's okay…
12:31You had me worried for a minute there, my lady.
12:36Do you have any news on Lady Kayo's condition?
12:39Seems like it's just a fever.
12:41After days of performing the manifestation ritual, she's exhausted.
12:47She'll recover, though. There's a powerful ley line that runs through the summer estate.
12:51You should both take it easy. Rest up before you leave for Teishu.
12:55Thank you very much.
12:57Oh, by the way…
13:01Ayame said it's alright if I use the kitchen. I'm going to make you something.
13:05Does porridge sound okay to you?
13:09Yes, please. Hinagiku likes it best when you put an egg on top.
13:14If it's not trouble, would that be okay?
13:18Nothing you ask of me is a bother. You know by now I would do anything for you, my lady.
13:24Fever or no fever.
13:29Lady Himedaka?
13:31Lady Ayame?
13:33Not my usual attire. Did I surprise you?
13:36What? No. It's getting late after all.
13:40Do you… need something?
13:42No. I was just observing. I didn't know you were such a good cook.
13:46Well, I wouldn't say that. Anyone can make porridge.
13:49Oh, then this is a shame to admit. No one has bothered to show me how to make anything.
13:55Other people have always done all the cooking and chores around the household.
13:58It almost makes me worry about the kind of wife I'll be.
14:01I should at least learn how to make porridge for my husband when he's sick, don't you think so?
14:08Then would you like me to teach you?
14:10Hm?
14:17And now we just let it cook.
14:19Lady Hinagiku prefers hers with an egg, but we'll wait until it's done to add that.
14:25So, I'd like to ask you about your sister. Would that be okay?
14:29I'm mortified by her behavior. A proper agent would never go on strike.
14:34That's not what I meant.
14:36Our relationship… is complicated. My sister has thought of me as her property for as long as I can remember.
14:43When I chose to resign and get married, she took that as evidence that someone was stealing me from her.
14:49She can't accept that I don't belong to her.
14:52Is that so? In any case, it is quite unusual. A guard quitting?
14:57Summer does things a bit differently from the other seasons.
15:00The agent of Summer's family sees them through childhood. Once they come of age, their spouse takes on the responsibility
15:06of supporting them.
15:07Even if I were to remain single, I'd still have to pass the torch. Eventually, her future husband would step
15:13in as her guard.
15:14Wait, she's getting married too? Have they even met?
15:18Yes, they have. They're already engaged.
15:20For what it's worth…
15:22Ruri does seem to have feelings for him, so I'm thankful.
15:26She knows… just as much as I do.
15:29We could both be happy. Marriage is the best path forward for us.
15:34And… we've gone too far to reverse course.
15:38Despite that, she holds it against me.
15:41Forgive me. I am definitely oversharing. Such worries are far from your mind, so this must sound strange to you.
15:48Actually, my lady went on strike as well.
15:52Huh?
15:53For a long time after she returned to us, she refused to leave her room like your sister.
15:58It was two more years before she was willing to resume her normal duties.
16:03She was kidnapped by insurgents, and imprisoned for years on end.
16:07Of course it took a toll on her mind. How could it not?
16:11And the village of Spring gave up on finding her so quickly, they decided they would rather wait for her
16:16to die.
16:18As soon as one agent dies, the gods select another from one of the clans of the Four Seasons.
16:24It was easier for them.
16:27Then they…
16:28That's right.
16:30They gave up on the search, because when she dies, the gods will move on to the next agent.
16:36The village abandoned her.
16:38Waiting for her to die was less risky than spending resources to find her.
16:43But at the same time, the fact that a new agent was never chosen proved she was still alive.
16:49They all knew exactly how long she was suffering.
16:51They're monsters. And why would monsters help her?
16:58Lady Hinagiku knew exactly what was happening.
17:01When I was finally reunited with her again, she wouldn't even eat.
17:04She didn't want to live, let alone call the spring.
17:08This is… what they wanted.
17:11For me… to die.
17:13Isn't that right?
17:15So why not?
17:17Hinagiku will do it.
17:19Give them… what they want.
17:23To be honest, I can hardly blame her.
17:25They called her a goddess and drained her of everything they could before labeling her as defective when she wasn't
17:31living up to their expectations.
17:32They sat by and waited for her to die when they thought they could replace her and…
17:36I saw that the world treats agents like cogs in the clockwork of seasonal change.
17:45Suddenly it made sense why some agents choose to refer to themselves as cattle.
17:49They spend their lives in a pen.
17:52They have no freedom at all.
17:55I know what you mean.
17:56It just isn't fair.
17:58Nobody asks to be an agent.
18:01One day you're chosen at random.
18:04You can't go to school.
18:06Or make any new friends.
18:08Or have fun.
18:09Your life changes.
18:11You never get to be normal again.
18:13Other people dictate your life's path.
18:15You're not even allowed to disagree with them.
18:17It's suffocating.
18:19But we still do it.
18:21We work so hard.
18:22They don't care.
18:23They neglect us.
18:25They hate us.
18:26All they do is complain.
18:28Nothing we do is ever enough.
18:30Sometimes they even try to kill us.
18:32I don't manifest this stupid season because I enjoy it.
18:36I honestly couldn't care less.
18:37I only call Summer so Ayame will be happy.
18:42Excuse me.
18:43That's what my sister is always saying.
18:48Lady Ayame.
18:50Can I ask you one more thing?
18:52Do you really believe that your sister is acting like a child?
18:56Like a child?
18:58I don't think I said that.
19:00You didn't use those words exactly, of course.
19:03But to call the season just for you?
19:05That's childish.
19:06I think it's more than that.
19:08The rituals?
19:10They perform them with their whole hearts.
19:13I'm sure your happiness is part of it.
19:15But maybe she can only manifest the season because of how much you support her.
19:21The changing of the seasons is a miracle, and you make it possible for her.
19:27In this cruel world, she's always had you.
19:32So now, even though she has someone else to love, she can't bear the thought of losing her sister.
19:37She needs you.
19:41And that pain runs deep.
19:43If you keep treating her like she's throwing a tantrum,
19:45I don't think that the two of you will ever find a productive path forward.
19:53I mean it.
19:55There was a lot to take in, but it's nice to know someone understands the pain an agent goes through.
20:01I feel much better after talking to you.
20:04No, I went too far.
20:06I shouldn't have spoken about your sister like I know what she's feeling.
20:09I mean, I haven't even met her yet.
20:11It's fine. It's exactly what I needed to hear.
20:15Truly, I only wish that someone had said it sooner.
20:19Rudy!
20:21Are you ready to call Summer?
20:23It might be too late, and maybe it won't change anything.
20:27I want to see your season.
20:30I guess I wanted a reason to keep going.
20:33Sometimes it feels like your summer is just for me.
20:37Because...
20:38I love her.
20:44Are you...?
20:46Huh?
20:47Uh, no.
20:49Don't worry about it.
20:55Um.
21:02Uh huh.
21:06Um...
21:07Uh...
21:09That's good.
21:10Your fever's gone down.
21:13Mm-hm.
21:30Insurgents?
21:32We should have received some warning from the agency.
21:35Sakura!
21:42I'll protect you, Lady Hinagiku.
21:45Stay close to me and it'll be fine.
21:48Let's go downstairs and meet up with the others.
21:54Target located. Moving in.
22:00Sakura!
22:06Mabataki 2つ
22:15Aなたにはなれないまま生きて出会う春の日が
22:26Ah照らす涙も疲れたまだ知らないことばかり待つのには
22:27Ah
22:53望み通りの明日など来ないままに息を繋いだ昨日その向こうで何を知ろうとも構わないままに手を繋いだあの日のまま
23:23千葉は千葉は自然に自然に牡蠣を見る見るのにさ、あ、あ、ああ。
23:24I'm going to connect with you
23:26The day of the day
