Ai-chan, spring will be riding the wind into Neo-Venezia soon!
Today is a public holiday! And I'm out with Alicia-san.
mado kara sotto asahi ga nobite
The morning sun slowly creeps in through the window
madoromu matsuge ni koboretekuyo
overflowing onto your dozing eyelashes.
soyofuku kaze heya e no maneite
The gentle wind is invited into the room
Ah, Alicia-san!
komorebi ni kimi no negao
by your sleeping face under the sunbeams.
Is that a torii on that island?
[Torii: A gate that appears at the entrace to a Shinto shrine.]
That's right.
yasashikute yuuforia
Tender euphoria.
There really are many types of islands, aren't there...
itsumo no arifureta asa dakedo
Even though it's the same old morning
azayaka ni irodzuiteru yo
it's dressed in vivid colours.
sore wa kimi to meguriaeta kiseki
That is the miracle of our chance encounter.
hitori ja nai kimi to issho ni iru kara
You're not alone, because I'm with you.
The Wonder Of That Rainy Day...
Wow.
There are so many huge torii, aren't there!
[Inari shrines commonly have many torii. The Fushimi shrine in Kyoto has thousands.]
When they were still settling,
every country was given their own island.
This is Japan's cultural village.
The scenery of many countries still remain like this one the other islands.
That's amazing, isn't it...
I'm glad you like it.
Umm... who is this?
Ah, Okitsune-sama?
[Kitsune: Meaning "Fox", the fox is the messenger for Inari, the god of rice. There are always two foxes flanking the entrance to an Inari shrine.]
It's the guardian deity of this shrine.
Wow...
What a mysterious face...
Let's go, Akari-chan.
Ah, yes.
Welcome!
The fried tofu at this shop is superb, Akari-chan!
[Fried tofu is also known as inari. It's named after the god because his fox messengers are fond of it.]
Fried tofu!
Since we're here, why not buy some?
Yes!
Granny, could I have ten fried tofu please!
Sure, thanks!
Are you two here to walk around the shrine?
Yes!
On a fine day like this, you might be able to meet Okitsune-sama!
Eh?
I-I can meet him?
The Okitsune-sama here is a naughty little fellow,
and sometimes appears in the human world.
Wow...
I want to meet him! I want to meet him! I want to meet him! I want to meet him!
My my.
But... be careful.
Occasionally Okitsune-sama takes people back with him.
The gods' world and the human world are different worlds...
You mustn't go with him.
You'll never be able to come back to this world...
Oh, with that joke again.
Well, take your time and enjoy yourself.
Y-Yes...
It's okay, Akari-chan.
That's right...
Well, well...
Let's head off!
Wow, the torii continue right into the forest...
I wonder how many there are?
What's wrong, Akari-chan?
I thought someone was there...
Eh?
My my, that's rare. A sunshower!
Eh? It can still rain when the sun is out?
Ah, that's right. This is a first for you, Akari-chan.
It's called a sunshower".
Wow...
A sunshower, huh...
That's a mysterious word.
I'm sure that there was another lovely name for a sunshower long ago...
Another lovely name? What was it?
Wha!
My my.
Let's take shelter from the rain first.
Yes!
Phew. It's a good thing we didn't get too wet, isn't it, President Aria.
Huh? Alicia-san?
Don't tell me... I'm lost?
President Aria, why don't we go look for Alicia-san?
The rain is easing up.
That's a relief, isn't it, President Aria.
Yes!
We're back again... President Aria.
It's almost like this path connects to another world...
Ah! What am I saying...
It's just my imagination...
...right?
It's not my imagination.
Something has been following me for awhile now...
The Okitsune-sama here is a naughty little fellow,
and sometimes appears in the human world.
Could it really be Okitsune-sama?
President Aria...
I'm... a little scared.
You mustn't go with him.
You'll never be able to come back to this world.
W-W-W-What should I do?
Ah! Wha!
Ah, President Aria...
The rain has cleared up, hasn't it.
Akari-chan!
Alicia-san!
There you are!
I've been searching all this time.
Where have you been?
I... met him!
In the Okitsune-sama procession!
What, really?
Yes!
He took my fried tofu!
Fried tofu has always been Okitsune-sama's favourite food...
If you really did meet him,
it might have been because of me and your fried tofu.
Granny, could I please have ten fried tofu!
My my.
Thank you.
My, isn't that...
...your fried tofu, Akari-chan?
Why is it here?
Maybe... Okitsune-sama just wanted some fried tofu?
Okitsune-sama, I'm sorry I was scared...
Akari-chan,
what was the Okitsune-sama procession like?
It was kind of mysterious...
but very beautiful.
There was a bride, too!
A bride?
Ah! I remembered!
What?
The other name for a sunshower.
Eh? It's other name?
What is it?
It's called "the fox's wedding".
President Aria... The wind feels nice today, doesn't it...
'Morning, Akari-chan.
Wha!
It's a nice day again, isn't it.
Alicia-san...
Good morning.
Isn't today a day off?
The weather was so nice,
I thought we'd go out in search of spring.
Huh...? Spring?
Yep. Spring.
I thought we'd have a picnic, so I have a basket full of bento.
Wow!
The truth is, there's a wonderful special place I want to show you.
Special? More than that shrine the other day?
Then, let's go!
The Things Found On That Spring Day...
The sun is out and shining, it's perfect picnic weather, isn't it!
That's right.
Akari-chan, please head for that island.
It feels like we're an exploration party. I'm so excited.
Okay Commander,
can you land by that bank?
Aye aye, Sir!
My my.
Ah, I'll take that, President Aria.
Eh?
But it's big, it'll be hard carrying it by yourself.
Ah, are you okay, President?
My my...
Wow... that's a huge root.
You can't even see the sky between the leaves...
I've never been in such a large forest in my life.
Your special place is amazing, Alicia-san!
Akari-chan, this is just the entrance.
The starting point.
Wha!
The entrance?
Wow...
Alicia-san, Alicia-san!
What is it, Akari-chan?
Look at this!
These flowers are cute.
My my.
Shall we have our bento?
Yay!
President Aria! You don't have to wait any longer for your bento!
Wow, lovely!
Let's eat!
What's wrong, President Aria?
President Aria?
Alicia-san!
What is it?
The path of flowers continues right into the distance!
I'm sure it'll lead us to a special place.
Wha?
Come on, let's go.
Wha!
What is it, Akari-chan?
What's this?
Let's have a look.
E-Eh?
This is a station for the narrow-gauge railroad that was used in the early days of Aqua's settlement.
Wha? A railroad station?
Yes.
It's in shambles now that no one comes here...
...but the settlers used this railroad to transport timber and stone needed for building the towns.
Wow...
It's kind of wonderful, isn't it...
Wha!
Are you okay, President Aria?
Ah!
There are tracks over here covered by flowers!
My my.
Do you think the way we just came had tracks, too?
These flowers grow in areas lacking fertility,
and work to make the land plentiful.
Wow, even though they are so small,
they are hard workers, aren't they.
Wow, this view really makes you want to follow the tracks forever.
Then let's keep going!
Eh? "Go"?
This isn't the special place you were talking about?
This is just part of the journey.
Our expedition in search of spring isn't over yet.
Yes!
My my, the tracks branch.
This isn't good, which way was it?
You don't remember?
I was only brought here once, long ago...
In times like this...
...you do this!
I'm sure it's this way, Alicia-san!
Let's go!
My my.
The sun is about to set, isn't it...
Why don't we head back?
Eh?
That tree...
Let's keep going up until that tree, Alicia-san!
Okay.
It's a cherry blossom tree!
Isn't this a...
It looks like it was abandoned here years ago...
Akari-chan!
Wow...
The ceiling has fallen through...
Because of that we have a carpet of flower petals here.
It's pretty, isn't it...
Yes...
This cherry blossom has been alone in this wonderful place for years...
But because I used that method to choose the path...
...we couldn't go to your wonderful special place...
I'm sorry.
Say, Akari-chan...
Have you heard this story before?
When a certain traveller left on a journey in search of what he desired...
...he was told by his teacher:
"You mustn't lose your way,
because if you make one wrong turn, you will never find what you were searching for."
But unfortunately the traveller lost his way.
The traveller hung his head in dismay...
But when he raised his head again, what he saw before him...
...was a world even more magnificent than what the traveller was searching for.
It means if you don't make mistakes, there are things you won't discover.
Alicia-san...
Thank you very much.
My my.
I wonder what's wrong?
Ah!
President Aria!
Are you okay, President Aria?
Thank goodness he's okay.
Even so, I didn't expect the power to still be on...
Alicia-san...
...we did it, didn't we!
We did, Akari-chan.
Our special spring...
...has been discovered!
Ai-chan, I was a little worried about losing my way on a path I've never been on before, but...
...just like the day I was in the sunshower, and on the day I saw the cherry blossom tree...
...it changed into a fun surprise in the end!
They were wonderful days out.
I'm sure Aqua is a planet that turns worry and troubles into wonderful things!
