00:14Oh, I know that flute.
00:16What's the matter?
00:18What is it, Jara?
00:20Huh?
00:36I can't say that I've ever seen a bird fall down the stairs before.
00:40It's been quite a while now, Jara.
00:42Earthquakes, lightning, fire, a strict father.
00:45Many things can be frightening, but this cute girl from a faraway island is, to me, more terrifying than the
00:50devil.
00:51I may be a bundle of nerves, but I cannot let it show.
00:54I must be a man and gather my courage.
00:56Oh, hi there, Miss Choi.
00:57You must have missed me an awful lot to have come.
01:00I've gotten awfully cocky in the short time we've been separated from each other, haven't you, Dad?
01:05I'm so terribly sorry.
01:06What's up with your appearance these days?
01:08You've got...
01:09Yes, I've grown a bit larger.
01:11You don't even look like a bird anymore.
01:13Yes, it's just as you say, Madeline.
01:14He's in a pinch.
02:57Sorry about that.
02:59It's fine.
02:59I'm very grateful that you let me stay here after my brother's sudden arrival in town.
03:04She's a polite young girl, isn't she?
03:08Are you not going to eat?
03:10The food's going to get cold, Dara.
03:12Well then, if you're going to put it that way, I'll just sit...
03:16Don't mind me.
03:17I'll be over here.
03:17Don't worry.
03:18We'll eat later, okay?
03:19Has Dara been rude to you or inappropriate in any way?
03:22No, not at all.
03:24Oh, really?
03:24Yes, Miss Choi.
03:25Is Choi your first name or your last name?
03:28My first name.
03:29So then, what would your family name be?
03:31Mochi Matsui, of course.
03:33It's okay, father.
03:35My name is Choi Machi Matsui.
03:38Hmm.
03:39Well, a Choi part's fine.
03:41Choi, are you the bird's owner?
03:43Not exactly.
03:44Dara belongs to the royal family.
03:46Oh.
03:46So then, I guess the story Dara told us was true.
03:49On the faraway island that is my home country, the Machi Matsui family has ruled for generations.
03:55Come to think of it, you were in those projections, weren't you?
03:58Didn't I see you with that boy?
03:59You saw me with a boy?
04:01Oh, you must have seen me with a prince.
04:03So are you a princess, Choi?
04:04Don't be so rude, uncle.
04:06Yes, father.
04:07Well, actually, I'm a fortune teller.
04:09I make predictions during our national festivals and on other important occasions.
04:13And I use the royal bird to tell fortunes.
04:15Oh, so you're a bird fortune teller.
04:18It cannot be tonight.
04:20I am indeed the royal family bird.
04:22Royal family?
04:23Birdie.
04:24You can't tell fortunes when you're this sad.
04:26I'm so very, very sorry.
04:29That girl's become a bride.
04:33All right, I've got to go now.
04:35I'll see you when you get back.
04:38So what are club activities?
04:41I thought he was just some weird bird, but it sounds like he might be royalty after all.
04:45I really thought he was lying to us.
04:47She said that she came from a faraway island to the south.
04:49Do you think this Choi girl has a bunch of treasure hidden in a chest somewhere at home?
04:53With gold, silver, and jewels?
04:55Well, I don't think she's a pirate or anything.
04:57Choi told us that she's a royal fortune teller.
04:59She's a fortune teller?
05:01So what would that make Dara, then?
05:03She uses Dara to help her tell fortunes.
05:05That seems kind of hard to do.
05:07It seems like they came here to find a suitable bride to marry the prince.
05:10In an eastern country, even.
05:15This is no good.
05:16I can't tell fortunes at this rate.
05:18I'm terribly sorry for my expended girls.
05:21I never thought I'd find you looking like this.
05:24Did you swallow a whale?
05:25I know.
05:25It's all true.
05:26It's all my fault.
05:27Everything.
05:27I'm so sorry.
05:28You didn't send us word.
05:30The prince was beside himself with worry.
05:32We attempted to contact you many, many times, you know?
05:35You tried that many times?
05:36It would appear that my transceiver is not presently functioning as it should be.
05:40Seriously?
05:42I wonder if perhaps one of your circuits is broken.
05:48Is it working now?
05:51Dara?
05:52Dara?
05:55Dara?
05:56Dara?
06:00Hey, Choi.
06:02I wonder if these messages are even reaching Dara.
06:08Well, yes.
06:09I think they should be.
06:13Dara, wake up.
06:15Huh?
06:18Seems like you're only able to transmit messages when you're unconscious.
06:21I wonder how we can fix this problem.
06:23It does indeed seem that I am broken in some way.
06:27Well, it's no wonder, since I've been manhandled so roughly here in this very strange country.
06:32Your journey had only one purpose, and that was to find a suitable bride to marry the prince.
06:36So why have you wasted so much precious time loafing around this place?
06:39It was threatened and cajoled and then held here against my will.
06:42I told them I'd had enough and I wanted to leave.
06:44Really?
06:45And they were so cruel.
06:46They worked me so hard.
06:49At the mochi shop.
06:50If they weren't too as cruelly as you say, how on earth did you end up getting so fat?
06:55Eh?
06:56Uh, well, uh, that's right.
06:58Because they forced me to eat so much mochi, of course.
07:01They made me test their products.
07:02Why won't you eat more of our mochi?
07:04They would cry.
07:05They made sure I'd be unable to leave.
07:09So it was a trap.
07:11Who did this?
07:12Ma'am?
07:12Who did this to you, Dara?
07:14Uh, well, it was the mochi shop owner's daughter.
07:19I'm home now.
07:21Welcome back, Tama.
07:22Where's Choi?
07:23She said she wanted to repay us by helping out with some cleaning.
07:30I'm guessing she wasn't able to get much sleep.
07:35I'm sorry.
07:36Did I wake you up?
07:38You should try to get some rest upstairs, Miss Choi.
07:41I simply cannot do that now.
07:43I truly do not understand why neither your father nor your grandfather will accept any money from me.
07:48So I thought I'd repay my obligation by doing housework.
07:51But the sound of that chime is really very soothing.
07:54And before I knew it, I...
07:56Dara, wake up!
07:57I'm so terribly sorry, madam.
07:58Hey, guys.
07:59Have the two of you had a chance to eat some lunch yet?
08:01No, not yet.
08:03You shouldn't be eating anything.
08:05Yes, ma'am.
08:06I haven't eaten yet myself, so we should go eat together.
08:08Oh, should I toast up some mochi?
08:10You have many different kinds, you know.
08:12No need.
08:13I have no need for mochi.
08:15So that means you hate mochi?
08:16I don't know if I hate it, but I know that I don't need it.
08:20Well, that's okay, then.
08:22Uh, I know.
08:25So where are you going now?
08:26I thought maybe you'd like to try some udon instead.
08:29Oh, what is udon?
08:31Oh, Tama, is this young girl a friend of Dara's from back home?
08:35Yes, you're right.
08:36She's pretty cute, isn't she?
08:37And what is your name?
08:39Oh.
08:40Ch-choi is her name.
08:42My, Dara, aren't you one lucky bird?
08:44To have someone come all this way just to visit you,
08:47she must be a really very good friend of yours.
08:49Have a croquette.
08:50It's quite delicious.
08:52You should give it a try.
08:53No, thank you.
08:54They've already made Dara so fat he's unable to fly.
08:57I wonder if I'm next.
08:58Huh?
08:58Oh, no, no, it's nothing, nothing at all.
09:00Tama, I heard this girl came from a faraway island in the south.
09:04Really?
09:05Hello there.
09:05She even has the scent of the southern islands.
09:08What kind of scent is that?
09:09And she traveled here all by herself even.
09:11She's so brave.
09:12Please take this if you want it.
09:14And here's a nice toy to help you pass the time.
09:17Have some yummy mochi instead.
09:19It's heavy.
09:20Thank you so much, everyone.
09:22Did everyone in the shopping arcade conspire to trap Dara
09:24and make him stay here?
09:25Trap him?
09:26No, no, no, my good folks, pay this girl no mind.
09:28I refuse to be fooled by the likes of you.
09:29She seems to have suffered very much for someone who is still so young.
09:33It almost makes you want to cry.
09:35But don't you worry.
09:36We're all good people here.
09:37I promise you that.
09:38Why don't you just go and relax for a bit?
09:40That's right.
09:41Choi told us she's a real-life fortune teller.
09:43Wow, that's so exciting.
09:44What kind of fortunes do you tell?
09:46Come on and tell a fortune for us, okay?
09:53Dara.
09:54Ma'am.
09:55Huh?
09:55You tell fortunes with the bird?
09:57Yes.
10:01Dara, go give it your best.
10:05It is white.
10:06The great white ma shall come soon.
10:09So it's white.
10:10And it's a great ma?
10:11Ma'am!
10:12Wait up!
10:14Ma'am!
10:15I know that dog.
10:16I always see him being walked on the shopping arcade.
10:19His name's Ma'am.
10:19So then, he's the great white ma'am.
10:21It really came true!
10:22That's amazing.
10:23Nicely done.
10:24I've never seen anything that cool before in my whole life.
10:27Awesome.
10:27I'm going to learn how to do that, too.
10:29It came true.
10:31It came true.
10:32Must be nice.
10:33I wish I could have my fortune told.
10:36I wonder if Miss Choi can predict test answers, too.
10:40Normally, I do divinations for royal events only.
10:43Oh, I see.
10:44Oh, hi there.
10:46Welcome.
10:46Good day to you, Sayori.
10:48Oh, yeah.
10:49This is Choi.
10:49He's staying at our house right now.
10:51I've been hearing about you.
10:52They say your predictions really come true.
10:55Huh?
10:57You put your clothes in there when you take them off.
10:59You must be tired after that.
11:01We should go and relax in the bath together.
11:04I must not let myself be fooled.
11:07I simply must not be deceived.
11:09I simply must not be.
11:12Well, I never expected Miss Choi to come all this way by herself.
11:16I'm rather impressed that she found me.
11:18She's frighteningly good at divination.
11:22Uncle, keep your shoulders out of the water.
11:25Uh-huh.
11:29Wait a second.
11:30If Miss Choi were to see me in here...
11:35Today, it just cannot be helped.
11:38I'll just listen in a bit.
11:40Tama, I think I'm ready to get out of the bath now.
11:43Oh, no.
11:43What's happened to Choi?
11:45Maybe she got out of the water already.
11:47That must be it.
12:00I don't see Choi here at all.
12:02I don't think she would have gone home alone.
12:05Miss Choi!
12:06Huh?
12:06Is there something wrong, Tara?
12:08What is that?
12:10Is it a peach?
12:11I don't think so.
12:13It's Choi!
12:19Never have I suffered such indignity!
12:22I'm terribly, terribly sorry!
12:23I apologize all you want, but I cannot forgive you for bringing me to a place like that!
12:27Yes, ma'am!
12:28Everything is just as you say!
12:29I'm sorry!
12:29I just don't know if I'm getting through to you at all!
12:31Choi!
12:32Are you okay?
12:33I ain't no mind to what I say!
12:37Well, okay then.
12:38We'll just put your dinner here outside the door, okay?
12:49Huh?
12:51Huh?
12:59I should wait!
13:00I have to keep my wits about me here!
13:03This, too, could be a trap!
13:09Seems like we're a friggin' fortune-telling shop now.
13:13Well, I don't see any harm in it.
13:15Everyone seems to enjoy it.
13:21Very soon you will incur the wrath of the god that rules the earth.
13:25Oh no, that's scary!
13:27Don't worry, it will not be too grave of a matter.
13:29Oh, thank goodness.
13:31Well, Choi, I do thank you.
13:34Oh!
13:35That hurt!
13:37It's the wrath of the god of the earth!
13:38She was right again.
13:40I'd say you're really awesome, isn't it?
13:43So, Miss Choi, should you really be doing so much dividing right now?
13:47I'm simply trying to knock some sense back into you.
13:49And I also feel like I need to repay these people for their kindness yesterday.
13:53For all the food and the gifts they gave me.
13:55I think I will become a fortune teller someday.
13:57I think I'd like to get my fortune told today, too.
13:59I don't mind at all.
14:01Well, the truth is, um...
14:02What is it?
14:03I, um...
14:04Well, I...
14:05So is it love?
14:09Oh no!
14:10Well, that's...
14:11I don't know!
14:12There isn't anybody quite like him.
14:13He sure is an interesting fellow.
14:15Is he for real?
14:16I'm sorry to tell you that love's petals must scatter before love can bloom.
14:22Wow, this is amazing.
14:24Fortune telling's getting so popular now.
14:26Sayuri, you're here.
14:28Do you think I could have my fortune told, too?
14:31Well, yeah.
14:34Well, I...
14:35I'm wondering about my compatibility with someone.
14:38Compatibility?
14:39With a person that you like, maybe?
14:40What's this, I hear?
14:41You found someone nice, Sayuri?
14:43That's quite a shock for me, as well.
14:45I'm just kidding, of course.
14:47There's someone who's thinking of asking for my hand in marriage.
14:51The day has finally come.
14:53Congratulations, Sayuri.
14:54That's great.
14:56Is there a party for you tonight?
14:58Then we gotta bring some sake, too.
15:00No drinking for you tonight.
15:02That's not fair.
15:04Your hand's in marriage?
15:06So what did I miss?
15:08Tamako!
15:09What is it that they're talking about over there?
15:12Hey, Tamako, is marriage something you might...
15:16Oh, hi, Tamako.
15:17What are you guys doing?
15:18Sayuri told us she's getting married.
15:20Huh?
15:20Is this really true?
15:21Wow!
15:22Come on, guys.
15:23Stop talking about it.
15:24I remember when you used to be so little.
15:26I see a gentle wind in the air and calm waves on the sea.
15:31Huh?
15:32It's a very good sign.
15:35Thank goodness.
15:37Uh-huh.
15:38Choice predictions really do come true.
15:39I know, right?
15:41Choice predictions come crazy true, don't they now?
15:44What's with you, Mushizo?
15:45Sayuri.
15:46What do you mean?
15:47I hope that you find great happiness with him.
15:56Thank you very much.
16:00So who will get their fortune told next?
16:02Yes, yes, me, please.
16:03Wasn't it my turn?
16:04Mushizo, you are next.
16:09Try not to stay in the bath too long tonight, Joy.
16:11I was simply being careless yesterday.
16:14I got flipped over in the bath once myself back when I was little.
16:17It's really not much fun.
16:20Huh?
16:21Well, it really was a bit of a shock.
16:24Hey, everybody.
16:25What's going on?
16:26Is something the matter?
16:27I guess they're close today.
16:29Why?
16:30Because she's the rabbit bath owner's only daughter, I guess.
16:33Mm-hmm.
16:34I'm sure that makes him a little bit sad.
16:53Hey, let's go use our own bath tonight.
16:55Yeah, let's go.
16:56Well, see ya.
16:57Take good care.
17:00Hey, Joy.
17:01Hmm?
17:02Um, thank you for your good fortune telling.
17:06I really think you were able to put Sayuri's mind at ease.
17:10I'll see ya.
17:30Joy, is everything okay with you?
17:34Uh...
17:35Hey, I'm coming in.
17:37Are you okay?
17:38Ah, Joy!
17:50Joy!
17:52Joy!
17:53Joy!
17:54Joy.
17:55The prince.
17:56Joy!
17:57Joy!
17:59Joy!
18:00Prince!
18:01Joy!
18:02Joy!
18:04Hey, Miss Choi.
18:06Miss Choi?
18:08Miss Choi, you're away!
18:09Just what are you doing here, Dara?
18:12This will be resolved with a simple apology.
18:14Why are you doing...
18:17Miss Choi!
18:18Miss Choi!
18:21Oh...
18:22Joy doing any better now?
18:24It seems she's got a bit of a fever.
18:26She's probably exhausted.
18:28But also, I think she might be crying in her sleep.
18:33I can't hear the sounds of the waves.
18:35That's what she keeps saying.
18:39Tamako.
18:40Hmm?
18:42Don't worry about your chores.
18:43Just go look after that poor girl.
18:45Hmm.
18:46Hmm.
18:48Hmm.
18:50Oh.
18:54Oh.
18:57Oh.
18:58Well, I'm...
18:59I'm really sorry for everything.
19:02Shh.
19:02Oh.
19:03Listen.
19:04Do you hear that?
19:05Huh?
19:06It's the sound of waves.
19:09I went to borrow a record, and the store owner told me that this was a good song.
19:13Hey, young woman.
19:14Oh.
19:15This sounds nothing like our country's music.
19:17Play something more joyous, more fantastic for you to do.
19:19Hey, Dara, get it quiet right now.
19:21You told me a lie before, didn't you?
19:23What, ma'am?
19:24About being trapped by the people here.
19:26Well, now, I'm not exactly sure I said I was trapped.
19:28I'm telling the prince about this.
19:30Please, anything but that.
19:32How dare you call this a trap?
19:33You overate and got fat all by yourself, right?
19:37No, it's not.
19:38Well, technically, it's true, but...
19:39I actually believe you...
19:41I'm really glad.
19:42The Choi's gotten her strength back now.
19:44No, Jesus.
19:45The first winds of autumn are beginning to blow.
19:49In time, the seasons will change.
19:55And yet, some things in life never change.
19:58Thank you very much.
19:59Although this girl's life will change when she becomes a bride,
20:03tofu will remain rectangular.
20:05Because being rectangular is part of what makes it tofu.
20:12Choi, do you think it's okay for you to be a baby?
20:14Do you think it's okay for you to be a baby?
20:16I think so.
20:17Thanks to you, I'm much better now.
20:19Mm-hmm.
20:21What are you making at the moment?
20:22Oh, don't they look pretty?
20:24We're planning on giving out this mochi to help celebrate Seiyuri's wedding.
20:27We're making a bunch of samples in several shapes to see which ones work best.
20:31Why are they red and white?
20:33We make red and white mochi for happy occasions.
20:35This batch here is freshly made.
20:37Would you like to try one?
20:40Oh, I forgot that you don't like to eat mochi, do you, Choi?
20:44No, it's fine.
20:45I think I'll try...
20:46Oh, really?
20:47Okay then, please try this one.
20:56Oh, how...
20:57So, how is it?
20:59Mochi is really delicious!
21:02Oh!
21:05Yes, it is indeed delicious!
21:07Our family name may be Mochi Matsui, but mochi isn't nasty at all.
21:11Mochi is yummy!
21:19How long will you be able to stay with us, Choi?
21:21I apologize for asking, but could we possibly inconvenience you until Dara's transceiver is fixed?
21:27Of course!
21:28If that's the case, I hope it never gets fixed!
21:30But that would interfere with Dara's ongoing search for a bride for the prince.
21:34Oh, that's right!
21:35A bride for the prince!
21:36Speaking of the search, do you have very many leads?
21:39Not really.
21:41Oh?
21:47It's that scent!
21:48Just as I thought!
21:51What is it, Choi?
21:53Huh?
21:55Huh?
22:09Yeah?
22:11Yeah!
22:12Yeah!
22:23Oh?
23:10To be continued...
23:25It's autumn now, isn't it? Tamako here!
23:27They say the roots of the red and white mochi lie in the Genpei War.
23:31Apparently, the Genchi clan flew white flags and the Heike clan flew red ones.
23:35But red and white has a celebratory feel, I think. I wonder what kind of mochi we'll eat next time.
