00:00We just have to pass through these, right?
00:03Yay!
00:06Tomoe, that was little Nonami!
00:08Mommy!
00:09Her mother is suffering in secret from a long illness.
00:12It is doubtful she will live much longer.
00:30This world, how do you think you're going to live much longer?
00:47the
00:51the
00:54are
00:57now
01:47Seeing Nanami at this tender age is fascinating. I can hardly recognize her.
02:00Mmm. It's so yummy, Mommy.
02:03I'm glad you like it, sweetie. I'm putting the leftovers in the freezer so you can have more later.
02:07Ah! The money I hid in the freezer to pay this month's electric bill isn't there!
02:12But how?
02:15Curse you. That was the best hiding spot I could come up with.
02:19Snap! It's my lucky day.
02:22Mommy, do you feel yucky again?
02:24Oh, I'm all right. Don't worry. I'm sorry, Nanami.
02:29Listen to me. Maybe someday Mommy's gonna have to go away for a while.
02:34If that happens, I need you to be a big girl and take care of yourself, okay?
02:38You'll have to clean the house and lock the doors every night.
02:40Will I be all alone? What about Daddy?
02:44What about Daddy? Don't you dare count on that good-for-nothing father of yours.
02:48And don't tell him where you keep your money. I don't care if he begs and cries. You keep it
02:51to yourself, capisce?
02:52Okay.
02:54My poor little girl, I wish I could have given you a brother or sister.
03:00Our family line has been entirely female.
03:04Every mother has had one daughter.
03:06It was like that for me and your grandma and your great-grandma.
03:10Why?
03:11Mommy! I want to have a big brother, Mommy!
03:14Oh? But there's more to the story you haven't heard yet.
03:18Once upon a time, so she could be pretty, one of our sillier ancestors drank a special beauty potion given
03:24to her by the gods.
03:25Well, ever since then, each generation of our family has been blessed with only one healthy and adorable baby girl.
03:32And you are my one.
03:33Look at you. The prettiest and smartest girl in our family.
03:38But this blessing came at a price. We've been cursed.
03:42None of us ever found a man that wasn't worthless!
03:45They've all been deadbeats that suck the life out of us!
03:48Listen to me, sweetie.
03:49Under no circumstances can you count on men.
03:52I want you to grow up to be big and strong and live a long, healthy life, even if that
03:55means you have to stay single to do it, okay?
03:58Okay!
03:59When I get big, I'm gonna stay single and do everything all by myself!
04:03Great!
04:05I see.
04:07Nanami inherited her nerves of steel from her late mother.
04:11Interesting.
04:12Human children all grow up by watching their parents.
04:15Nanami is no different.
04:17Her parents set the example of whom she would become.
04:20Can you tell me why you've become so comfortable sitting here?
04:23I can understand wanting to get your fill of this cute little Nanami.
04:27But you realize these are just her memories. None of it's real.
04:31We gain nothing by seeing this.
04:34Meanwhile, she's in pain.
04:36We should lead her back out of this nightmare.
04:41Yes, you are correct.
04:45But even so, I have to see more.
04:51This is a side of her that I do not know.
04:57Just a little longer.
04:59Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
05:04Just a little more.
05:19Hey, Emi, what did you ask Santa Claus for this year?
05:23Last year, I got a new fashion doll for Christmas from him.
05:26This year, I'm asking Santa for a fashion dream house.
05:29That's so cool.
05:30This year, I'm asking him for a bicycle.
05:33What about you, Nanami?
05:34I'll be okay.
05:36I take care of my house and keep my money hidden.
05:39I lock all the doors every night,
05:40so no strange man is going to get him while I'm sleeping,
05:43even if he begs and cries.
05:44You should all lock your doors before you go to sleep, too.
05:49You're weird, Nanami.
05:50Santa Claus brings presents through the chimney.
05:53You're going to be on the naughty list.
05:55I've seen enough.
05:56I can't watch anymore.
05:57The raw emotion is overpowering.
06:00The Santa guy has claws?
06:01You are not helping at all.
06:03Looks like it's up to me.
06:05It's okay, I'll save her.
06:06You sit there, Couch Potato.
06:10I am not a potato.
06:12I am learning about Nanami.
06:14No wonder she developed such spirit.
06:16It is how she survived.
06:18She surely would have been crushed
06:20under the weight of all this without it.
06:24The poor girl.
06:28Nanami, dear.
06:30Long time no see.
06:34No, don't look at me like that.
06:35I'm here to help you.
06:37I'm Mizuki.
06:38Your primary and most loyal familiar.
06:40Don't you recognize me?
06:43I guess there's no way you could remember me.
06:46I do remember you.
06:48Danger! Danger!
06:49I should have known.
06:50You've got it all wrong.
06:53I'm...
07:07Nice save, Tomoe!
07:09Quickly, come with me.
07:10We have to run.
07:13The stranger is closing in.
07:20That is what you get, you lousy snake.
07:29Tomoe, I'm gonna kill you for that.
07:34I swear.
07:36Your ears!
07:38They're so funny.
07:39Kind of like a cat's.
07:41Can you hear a lot?
07:43Hey! Hey!
07:44Why did I get caught up in this mess?
07:46Come on!
07:46I want to touch your ears now, please!
07:48Well, I suppose we should head for the exit.
07:50Can you cut your ears, please?
07:51Hmm?
07:53The scenery is rather odd.
07:55I thought it was blurry, but some parts are exceedingly detailed.
08:03I see.
08:05This is the world of her memories.
08:07The more she paid attention to something back then, the more clearly it appears now.
08:13Would you like some ice cream?
08:16No, uh, that's okay, thanks.
08:19It's all right.
08:21Oh, wow.
08:24That was amazing, Big Brother!
08:27Uh, Big Brother?
08:29If there is anything else you desire, let me know.
08:32I am happy to fetch it for you.
08:36In this world, the things that you long for are as plain as day.
08:39For me, satisfying those needs is a simple matter.
08:46Wow!
08:47Is this really my dinner?
08:49Yes.
08:50For real?
08:52Anything you want, if it will help you smile.
08:58I am here.
09:01I will stay by your side.
09:14There is no need to be sad.
09:18Oh, the sun's going down.
09:21Her sunset is huge.
09:24The day is over.
09:26Everybody is going to go home now.
09:29I don't want to go home, though.
09:33Back there, nobody is waiting for me.
09:37I have to be all by myself.
09:43I understand.
09:44I know what you truly desire.
09:49Only for the time being.
09:51In a few years, when you are older, you will become the head of a household more rowdy than you
09:55can imagine.
09:59Are you telling me that I'm going to get married when I get bigger?
10:02And then I'm going to make a new family to replace my old one?
10:06Hmm?
10:06Oh, well, no.
10:08That's good, because I'm not getting married.
10:13And why is that?
10:15Because my family has really bad luck with dead meat men.
10:18I can't count on a husband, so I'm going to stay healthy and single when I get bigger.
10:22It is not that you have bad luck, but that you are a poor judge of character.
10:26Take me, for example.
10:28I could fill all your days with happiness.
10:32Anything that you wanted, I could readily provide.
10:34There could be no one more dependable than me for bringing home the bacon, as they say.
10:38I get what you're doing.
10:39You can't use yummy foods to treat me into a loveless marriage.
10:43So do you really love me?
10:44I need to know.
10:51When asked in such a direct and adorable way.
10:59Yes.
11:01How could I not tell you the truth?
11:05I do love you.
11:10Well, will you marry me, Nanami?
11:16Know this.
11:21I will ensure you always have that carefree smile on your face.
11:27Okay.
11:32I will always stand by your side.
11:44What in the world am I going to do?
11:47To have become swept up in the moment and proposed to her?
11:50How am I going to talk my way out of this one?
11:53I've truly done it this time.
11:55Tomoe, you asked me to marry you, right?
11:57She is bound to press the issue.
12:01How can I possibly get out of this mess?
12:03What is the matter, Tomoe?
12:05You're awfully fidgety.
12:08Don't you worry about a thing.
12:09I can keep a secret as a fellow familiar.
12:11Nanami will never know what you did to her as a child.
12:14Wait, seriously?
12:15Ah, so you did do something to her.
12:20Stop!
12:23Jeez.
12:23Why do you guys fight every time I turn my back on you?
12:26Hey, where are we?
12:28What happened to the Tori Gates?
12:29Well, you're on the other side of them.
12:31Huh?
12:32When did we go through?
12:33I can't believe I missed that.
12:35I must have fallen asleep.
12:36It does feel like I woke up from a really long dream.
12:39Yeah?
12:40What kind of dream?
12:41It would appear I was worried for nothing.
12:44Even if she did remember what happened,
12:48Nanami would believe the proposal was merely a fantasy.
12:51Nothing more.
12:52I don't know.
12:54I can't remember anything, so it must not have mattered very much.
12:59Really?
13:00Are you sure?
13:01Nothing about a sweet, handsome stranger?
13:03Did you just say, a stranger?
13:06That doesn't ring any bells.
13:09She really does not remember?
13:12Right.
13:13Enough chit-chat.
13:14Let's get to the Year God's Shrine, grab the new talisman, and go back home.
13:17If we don't hurry, the sun's gonna set.
13:19The entrance should be around here somewhere.
13:22I've never met Next Year's God before.
13:24I wonder what he's like.
13:26Have you ever met him?
13:28Tomoe?
13:29Is it true?
13:31Does she really not recall?
13:34Would you like some ice cream, Nanami?
13:38Hey!
13:39Neato!
13:39Where did that come from?
13:42Ice cream!
13:42I missed you!
13:44Hold on.
13:44You've had ice cream before?
13:46Uh-huh.
13:47Back when we were at the beach.
13:48In that case, you should have it.
13:50Oh, you don't mind, right?
13:53Can I?
13:54Oh, thank you.
13:55Hooray!
13:56You're just like a little kid sometimes, Mizuki.
14:01She says with no irony, moments ago the little kid was her.
14:04Now that reminds me, I never knew how much you'd take after your mother.
14:08You think I'm like my mom?
14:09I don't know.
14:10I always thought I'd take after my dad.
14:12I was really young when she passed away, so I hardly knew her.
14:15I can barely even remember what she looked like.
14:20We lost all the photos of her in the fire.
14:24It would have been nice if one had survived, but oh well.
14:30It seems 12 years is enough time for a human to change.
14:34A little Nanami and the present one.
14:37Though they are the same person, are completely different from one another.
14:42Tis sad.
14:44How can this be?
14:46What happened to the child?
14:51You okay?
14:53What in the world?
14:56Hey!
14:58Hey!
15:02Yo, are you the human god from the Makage Shrine?
15:06Oh, Lord Yeargod, it's you.
15:08Wait, he's the year god?
15:11Sorry, I can't give you a proper greeting.
15:13I've got to try and shear off all this wool before the new year.
15:15If I don't, we're going to have problems.
15:18Wool?
15:22What the heck?
15:23He is the Zodiac Sheep.
15:25So this thing is a sheep?
15:28Wow!
15:29I thought it'd be softer.
15:32I wish.
15:33This dude keeps insisting that the fluff is going to be all the rage next year.
15:37But if I can't get him trimmed down, there's no way he'll fit in the shrine.
15:40Then why did you wait until the last minute to handle this?
15:43Hey, that reminds me.
15:45If it's not too much trouble, we've actually come here to get next year's talisman.
15:48Oh, yeah, the talisman?
15:51It's in there.
15:54Wait, is that your shrine?
15:56So small, no wonder he can't fit inside.
15:58He hasn't budged since this morning, so I told him it was time for a haircut, much to his dismay.
16:08No, stop! You're crushing the shrine!
16:10Too bad it's not softer.
16:13Ah, well...
16:17All that fluff must be really heavy.
16:21This coming year is going to be all about you.
16:23You should try and look your best for the occasion.
16:30I'm kind of jealous.
16:31If I had wool as wonderful as you've got, I would be showing it off.
16:35I'd strap my fluff so everyone could see.
16:41What? So I can shear you now?
16:46You're incredible, Nanami.
16:48I know, right?
16:50Incredible.
16:50Seeing her handle this with such maturity makes me miss the child of 12 years ago.
16:57I feel so much loss.
17:02Yet also pride.
17:08You have my gratitude, land god.
17:10I thank you.
17:11How did it get so small?
17:13Here is next year's talisman.
17:15Oh, thank you very much, Lord Yeargod.
17:18One more thing.
17:21A present.
17:22My way of saying thanks.
17:25I heard you say that after the fire, you didn't have any left.
17:29But with the memories I saw while you were in the Torrey Gates of 12,
17:33I can make you a prince.
17:48What is wrong?
17:49Are you all right?
17:55It's my mom.
18:08I see.
18:12They have not vanished after all.
18:18Neither the child nor the mother.
18:25Even the emotions she felt back then.
18:30All of these things live on inside, Nanami.
18:34Even if she may not remember, she still carries them with her.
18:41Here we go.
18:42Just about done.
18:43Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
18:44Please take these ones, too.
18:46Sure thing.
18:51It's the first new year since I became a god.
18:56So much has happened.
18:58It's hard to believe.
19:00But I'm getting the hang of it.
19:02The talismans for the first shrine visits of the year are done.
19:05Perhaps I'm better at this than I've been giving myself credit for.
19:09That is just like you, Nanami.
19:11Always so thoughtful.
19:14Let me see.
19:18What'd you do that for?
19:19Because any worshiper who is sorry enough to ask your blessing should not be further punished by having to read
19:24your orange-scented chicken scratches.
19:27The more I think about it, the more I realize how much we've gone through.
19:32Yes, yes, I know, Grandmother Izanami.
19:36But I am extremely busy preparing for the new year right now.
19:40Yes, I have made the arrangements.
19:42For the last time, I promise you there will be no donuts.
19:45For the Kuninushi, please look over these forms as well.
19:48I was thinking, without like to celebrate New Year's, we could visit the Mikage Shrine.
19:54That's where your friend Miss Mimosano works, right?
19:57Yes, and a day trip would be so romantic.
19:59We could start making our wedding arrangements.
20:02Hey, Mimiko, I did it!
20:04I set a new personal record!
20:06Oh no!
20:07Next year for sure!
20:09Next year for sure!
20:11Next year for sure!
20:13I thought I told you, don't book any work for me until after the 20th this month.
20:21My, my.
20:22Doors in the mundane world are flimsy.
20:24Master Shijuro!
20:26Brothers in Batonbaru, what brings you here?
20:28It's been so long since I've seen you!
20:30I'm, uh, glad to see you're doing okay.
20:33We have come at the request of Sojobo III.
20:36He sends a resolution.
20:37You are to spend the new year in training and refrain from all further immersion in the mundane world.
20:42As your senior, I have come to oversee your progress.
20:45What?
20:46Now, that is not our only reason for coming.
20:49We were concerned for our brother, with whom by faith we have been reunited.
20:53Thus we come as representatives of the mountain to make sure you are well.
20:57Oh.
21:00Also, we thought you might take us to the shrine of the Lady Land God who has done so much
21:04for us.
21:05Oh, that explains why Jiro wanted to tag along.
21:09With the year being over, I can't help but wonder, what do we have in store for us next?
21:18The time flew by so fast.
21:21We've laughed and we've cried.
21:27It's been crazy, that's for sure.
21:33But it's also been a lot of fun.
21:38Another year comes to an end.
21:41It feels like last year had just begun.
21:45I know.
21:49Hey, you guys, it started snowing.
21:54Wow, you're right.
21:56Look, it's already piling up.
21:58Cool.
22:04Only for the time being.
22:13In a few years, when you are older, you will become the head of a household more rowdy than you
22:18can imagine.
22:26I can't remember who told me that.
22:40Nanami?
22:41Nanami?
22:41Huh?
22:41Can you peel this for me?
22:43I can't get it right.
22:44Sure, no problem.
22:46You can do that yourself, you stinking brat.
22:49That's right!
22:50Nanami's not your mom, so stop acting like a baby!
22:53Calm down.
22:54I don't really mind if Mamoru thinks of me as his mom for now.
22:58Say, ah!
22:59Ah!
23:00Aw, no fair.
23:03Um, Nanami, you're not planning to leave us to get married or anything like that, right?
23:07I want you to stay our lady and mistress forever until you're old and gray and no man could ever
23:12love you.
23:12I don't think I like that idea.
23:15Well, I plan on staying single for a long time.
23:21Or not.
23:24Or not?
23:25Or not.
23:41You
