"It's Himawari-chan!" "Himawari-chan!" "What?" "What?" "So it was your fault!" "Don't you fall asleep again!" "{orig: "This is the second time!" ; but I heard "二度寝かよ？" "！"}" "For god's sake, I was forced to have a strange dream because this thing was on me!" "But!" "I saw Himawari-chan in my dreams!" "It looks like today will be a good day!" "Good things." "Watanuki!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" "I got it!" "This young girl is the spiritual seer who is currently the talk of the town, Kohane-chan." "She really is a beauty. {"bishoujo"}" "But you mustn't be fooled by her exterior." "In a hospital in Kanagawa," "Kohane-chan, all by herself, was able to expel the ghosts that had been plaguing the vicinity." "I can't believe it." "You shouldn't watch TV during meals!" "And anyway, wasn't I telling you about something more important than the TV?" "What was that?" "It's Himawari-chan!" "Himawari-chan!" "Ah!" "Just "Ah?"" "It looks like something incredibly unfortunate is going to happen." "What?" "B—But I had a dream about Himawari-chan, and she had a broad smile on her face!" "I told you before, didn't I?" "I don't think Himawari-chan is quite your lady luck. {Goddess of Fortune}" "Bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—but..." "Bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—but..." "Bu—bu—bu-bu—bu—bu—bu—but..." "Bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—but..." "God, what does someone have to do to get food around here?" "{Mumbling... get on better raw}" "Bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—bu—but..." "Himawari-chan is so cute!" "What does that have to do with it?" "Just by looking at her, I can overflow with happiness!" "Watanuki said it outright!" "I wonder if Himawari-chan feels the same way?" "Watanuki got crushed." "That aside, the things Watanuki makes are really delicious!" "Even though it's only breakfast, there's simply an abundance of food!" "Now, if only I had some great sake, there would—" "No way!" "Oh my!" "He's being petulant." "Petulant!" "Just because he's a little unpopular he gets all worked up." "Today's dinner limit is two cups of sake!" "You demon!" "I stayed overnight especially to make them breakfast!" "And then, because of Mokona, I had that strange dream, and I was teased by Yuuko-san!" "Wait, this is Doumeki's temple, right?" "Well, he's already left for his morning training, so he's probably not here." "Oi." "He's here!" "Why today, of all days?" "How many times do I have to say it?" "I have a name, so don't just call me with an "Oi!"" "Perfect timing." "Help me out." "Listen when someone talks to you!" "You would have made it to school in time even if you left later, right?" "I came from Yuuko-san's shop." "It's closer to her place." "Oh, really?" "Huh?" "You've been there before, back when you were asked by Yuuko-san." "When?" "Before, when I collapsed at Yuuko-san's shop." "Shop?" "Huh, what is it?" "Nothing." "So, what's today's lunch?" "It's a squid dish!" "You were the one who told me to make it, weren't you?" "A spider web?" "Watch where you're flailing, idiot. {he said "aruke"} {I know literal is walking but I like flailing in this case}" "Who's the idiot?" "!" "Stop squirming, you'll get entangled in it even more." "You really are an idiot." "You've said that twice, now!" "Just who's the idiot?" "For goodness sake, meeting Doumeki on the way to school..." "It really is just as Yuuko-san said." "What's wrong, Watanuki-kun?" "It's nothing!" "But since I get to eat Himawari-chan's hand-made bentou today, I guess good things can happen too." "Itadakimasu!" "Wow, it's delicious!" "That's Himawari-chan for you!" "It's something I bought at the store. {I don't really like it worded like this but it "works".}" "But you're the one who warmed it up, right, Himawari-chan?" "Nope, mom did!" "Why are you getting friendly with the ground?" "{"infatuate" is a bit strong but is better for "natsuku"}" "I'm not!" "What is it?" "Nothing, probably just a bit of dust or something. {He actually says trash but uhh yeah}" "Your eyes aren't that delicate, a bit of dust wouldn't affect them that much." "So, where's the squid dish?" "I told you already!" "Listen to someone when they're talking!" "Damn, why is it just us again?" "Himawari-chan, I wanted to go home together with you!" "What's wrong, is there still a bit of dust or something in your eye?" "It seems it wasn't dust." "Hey!" "Doumeki!" "My eye won't open." "Why?" "Hospital!" "I don't think this is anything a hospital could deal with." "But why?" "That's..." "I've never heard of an illness where a web-like thing attaches to you, and you're unable to open your eye." "Why are you speaking so calmly?" "I know!" "Yuuko-san might know something about this, so let's go to her shop!" "It's impossible." "Why?" "I cannot enter that person's shop." "Yuuko-san, Doumeki's eye won't open!" "I tried to bring him to the shop, but he was spouting some crazy stuff about not being able to enter it." "And even though I tried to stop him, he went back to his house." "That idiot!" "He has fallen victim to a grudge." "A spider's." "Grudge?" "He did something worthy of having a grudge borne against him, right?" "But that was just because I got caught in the spider's web!" "To you, Watanuki, it might be "just because."" "But to the spider, it might have been a disaster in which its precious house was destroyed." "Watanuki, wouldn't you feel resentment and think that it was unreasonable if suddenly, one day, the place you were living in was destroyed without an explanation?" "Well..." "Even if it does not appear to be a significant matter from one perspective, from another perspective, it is a huge incident." "And most of the time, it is the recipient who feels the larger shock." "Only the concerned party can say whether it's no large matter." "Grudges are things that can be borne very easily." "Even so, I was the one who got caught in the spider's web in the first place." "If there is going to be a grudge, then it should be against me." "The spider was more resentful towards Doumeki, who had destroyed its house, rather than towards you, who had just gotten caught up in it." "To the spider, Doumeki certainly was the more hated one." "That's what's unreasonable!" "A grudge is an unreasonable thing." "Then Doumeki's eye will just stay like that?" "Until the spider forgets its grudge." "How will it be able to forget it?" "Once it is satisfied." "It will be when the other party has received at least as much damage." "However, there are people who are still not satisfied when equal damage has been inflicted, who still continue their grudge even after the one they hate is destroyed." "However, since this time it is a spider, an equal amount would be more than enough." "Then..." "It really won't open." "Who is it?" "It's not on me any longer. {been lifted/taken off}" "Oi." "My name's not "Oi."" "Oi." "It's not "Oi!"" "My eye is better." "That thing like a spider's web is gone." "I see." "Hey, wait a second." "Oi." "Like I said, it's not—" "What is that?" "I just got a bit of a sty." "You did something, didn't you?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm asking you what you did to lift that spider's web from my eye. {Maybe join and change order?" "}" "Stop it!" "Asshole. {Bastard?" "}" "Go call that person." "I can't go into that shop, so call her." "School's about to start, why would I—" "Call her." "To call me out this early in the morning." "It's going to cost you." "If there is something I can give, then by all means." "So please, return Watanuki's eye to normal." "The one who stole Watanuki's right eye was the spider." "The same one who planted a spider's web on your right eye." "Watanuki said this, yesterday..." "Then, if the spider came to hate Doumeki more than me, {Careful here !" "It was the other way round ! "ore yori Doumeki wo uranda no dattara"}" "if I did something to be hated even more, would the grudge shift to me?" "And I answered "Yes."" "Then he asked me to tell him how, so I did." "Why?" "Because that was Watanuki's wish." "Even though you knew he would end up like that?" "Yes." "To grant wishes, that is what the shop is for." "Because humans are strange creatures, even though from one person's perspective something may seem unfortunate, to another it may bring them happiness." "Then can you please tell me how to get his eye back from the spider?" "I cannot do that." "Why not?" "Because to restore that eye, this time, Doumeki-kun, you will lose your right eye." "If they are wishes of the same caliber, then I have a rule of giving the one which arrived to me first a higher priority." "You are angry, aren't you?" "I'm not, not at you." "But you are angry at Watanuki?" "It's all right to be angry." "That child still does not understand how painful it can be for a person to be sacrificed for." "Especially when it is someone important." "He doesn't understand all of that yet." "You just have to get mad at him, and teach him that." "Himawari-chan!" "Shall we go home together?" "Sure!" "Hooray!" "It's gotten warmer, hasn't it?" "It really has." "Lately, I'm always together with Himawari-chan while going home!" "Doumeki seems to be off on his own, too." "Ah!" "Doumeki-kun." "Where is he?" "Where, where, where, where," "Where, where, where, where," "Where, where, where, where," "Where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where?" "where, where, where, where?" "where, where, where, where?" "where, where, where, where?" "No, not like that." "I made a promise to lend him a book." "But we haven't been together much lately, so I haven't been able to give it to him." "Damn you, Doumeki!" "Doing something envious like exchanging books with Himawari-chan!" "Are you going to do your part-time job at Yuuko-san's shop today, Watanuki-kun?" "Yeah." "Then you'll pass by Doumeki's house, right?" "Technically I sort of do, but..." "Could you give him this for me?" "I'm sorry, you must be busy, right, Watanuki-kun?" "Just leave it to me!" "There was something I had to go do at Doumeki's place anyway!" "Whether he's there or not, he always gets in the way!" "That bastard Doumeki!" "This was the place where that spider web was." "I've gotten pretty used to having only one eye." "So if I tell him I don't mind, he shouldn't mind." "Does it hurt?" "Does your eye hurt?" "Don't surprise me, idiot." "It doesn't hurt, it's nothing." "Why don't you go home or to your part-time job?" "I was about to leave without you having to tell me!" "And don't order me around!" "If I wasn't asked by Himawari-chan, why the hell would I come here?" "This is the book Himawari-chan asked me to give you!" "Worship it, and offer it prayers of gratitude!" "So, what's up with that mountain of books?" "Did you go to a library or something?" "No." "These are from our storehouse." "Wow, a residence that has its own storehouse." "It's like some commercial." "Wouldn't that be more like an architectural company's ad?" "It's like it screams out that there's history here." "That's probably because it was built over one hundred years ago." "One hundred years?" "But the walls and stuff don't look that old." "It seems they did a large restoration before I was born." "The one who used it most of the time was my grandfather, anyway." "Your grandfather is the one who you said was the chief priest?" "Yeah." "So then, the helping out you said you do at home is cleaning the storehouse?" "Is it okay for you not to go to your part-time job?" "Or, if you want to help out with cleaning the temple, the broom is over there." "Who would want to do that?" "You forced me into it!" "Just when I had gone especially to deliver Himawari-chan's book to him!" "Who the hell would do cleaning?" "Trying to use me like a servant, that super idiot Doumeki!" "Doumeki-kun's storehouse, huh?" "It seems like there would be many treasures!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Hey, now!" "Sit down and stop making a ruckus." "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "And by the way, why am I Alice?" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "{x53..." "I think...}" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "{x53..." "I think...}" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "{x53..." "I think...}" "Because it's more interesting that way." "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "Treasure!" "{x53..." "I think...}" "Dianne Aldman's Alice was good too, but as an English lover, I prefer Tenniel's." "What the heck is that?" "But at any rate, it looked like an amazing storehouse." "The books he had looked old, too." "What kind of books were they?" "There was this one book about the breaking of curses, and another about backfiring curses, and ritual proceedings..." "I see." "What?" "I've just worked out what Doumeki-kun is doing at home. {Lol innuendo}" "Like I was saying, he's cleaning out the storehouse." "If he doesn't clean it out, he won't find it." "What?" "A way to restore that eye back to normal." "Eh?" "Doumeki's grandfather was the chief priest and performed exorcisms of evil spirits, did he not?" "There must be books related to those skills in that storehouse." "For him to have things like books on the breaking of curses, antique book and technique shops would get on their knees and beg him to give them to them." "With huge amounts of money." "Because I turned him down, he's decided to look on his own." "That idiot!" "I did it of my own volition, he should just stay out of it." "In that case, I think you should leave Doumeki-kun to his own devices." "Watanuki, give me some brandy to put in my tea." "I'll go bring it." "Cross!" "Nought!" "Cross!" "Nought!" "Cross!" "Nought!" "Cro..." "Even when told it's impossible, he is searching without giving up for what he can do by himself." "That is why Doumeki-kun has no need to enter this shop." "So, Watanuki will go, right?" "He'll go." "You've fallen victim to a grudge, right?" "A spider's." "Are you looking for it?" "A way to restore my eye." "This is my grandfather's writing." "Just as one would expect of wards put up by Doumeki's grandfather." "What do you mean, a scramble?" "{Stealing contest}" "You have to hurry, or your right eye will never come back." "Next time, on holic:" "Kei," "Left Eye."
