Kaze no Stigma (2007) s01e08 Episode Script

1 Eyes as clear as the azure sky.
That is how you tell a "Contractor.
" The stigma of the wind, marked on the one who has been entrusted with the entire world's atmosphere by the Spirit King of the Wind.
A blast of wind in my heart Tatta hitotsu no itami ga omokute Hashiri dasu kanjo kurayami wo kakeru Kioku ga kagi wo hazushita Blast of wind Kono mama unmei wa mizu no you ni hitori deni ugoki hajimeru Nikushimi ni dakare hontou no kagayaki shirazuni kono te wa yogosare tsuzukete yuku no ka Mata yume mireru ka kikasete A blast of wind in my heart softly blowing through my heart Jeez, it's gotten so late! Our class president talks forever! The monster cherry tree Yeah, right! Monster? That's ridiculous! It's just my imagination.
Right? Go home Go home Go home Go home Hitodama? ["Hitodama" = "Will o' the Wisp"; "soul of the dead".]
Right.
It seems that they have been appearing almost every night at your school, Seiryo Academy.
I haven't felt any sign of an evil presence in the air though.
That probably means they're not very harmful.
It'd still be scary enough for normal people to see some hitodama floating around in the air, I guess.
Right.
They hired the Kannagi through Seiryo Academy's director.
Since that's your school, you wouldn't mind accepting this case, would you? No problem! I'm going to head out there right now and take care of the problem real quick! Now hold your horses.
It may seem easy, but you never know what's really going on.
Therefore, starting this time, I'm going to be sending a personal bodyguard with you on missions.
Bodyguard? But we've never used stuff like that before! You're the next head of the family.
It'd be a problem if something happened to you.
Yeah, I understand that, but honestly, being accompanied by someone from the branch families would actually slow me down.
You won't have to worry about that.
Huh? K-Kazuma? - Yo! - What do you want? I'm discussing something very important with Soshu right now! Don't be so uptight.
If something happens I'll go ahead and protect you, so don't worry.
D-D-D-Don't tell me my bodyguard is Well, good to be working for you.
No thank you! If that's the case I have no choice I guess I'll give this case to the Special Data Unit of the police.
Huh? Oh my, this is a case concerning her own school, yet she let us handle it? I guess the next head of the Kannagi is unexpectedly, you know Well, why don't we just take care of the business, then? You're right.
J-J-Just joking! I'll do it! After all, it's about my school! I just can't let some outsiders handle this case! All right then.
Let's go already.
I'm counting on you.
Don't go deciding things on your own! "Seiryo Academy" How did this happen? Dunno.
First of all, why would you even accept this kind of job? Because he offered me a fat reward.
What? It's unbelievable how generous Soshu is when it comes to paying me.
I sure found a good money tree.
What? I don't sense anything particularly strange.
Don't you feel anything? I'm just your bodyguard.
It's your job to take care of the abnormal incidents at this school, isn't it? Yeah, that's true, but Is it right there? Wh-What did you do that for? Moron.
Y-Yoohoo, Ayano-chan! I thought I was going to die.
Yukari, Nanase? What are you guys doing here? What? Because you don't get to see hitodama very often, and besides, as a member of student council, I can't ignore the mystery that's been shaking up the school! That's not my point! I was asking you why you two knew about the hitodama! It was supposedly kept secret.
But you know, Yukari is well informed.
From just rumors to school's confidential matters, she knows it all! Oh, stop it, Nanase-chan! Even I wouldn't know anything about stuff like, most of the witnesses claimed that they saw it after 7PM, or that the only person who's been injured in this is the P.
E.
teacher, Mr.
Ohara, who got scared and tried to run, or that the school director is hiding a picture book of a certain pop idol inside his desk drawer! Do you have something set up in the school director's office by any chance? Oh, et tu, Ayano-chan? Anyway, you two should go home! What? I can't afford to miss an interesting thing like this! I hear you.
Come on, guys! We don't know what kind of danger is involved in this! It'll be just fine! I don't care if it's hitodama or ghosts, as long as you're with us, it's not dangerous at all! Besides, if the situation gets really sticky, Kazuma-san is going to help us, too! Huh? I'm Ayano's bodyguard, so I won't be looking after anyone else.
If you're going to bring those two, you be sure to protect them, Ayano.
Y-You! So are you basically saying, "You're the only one I protect"? Yukari!! Well, it was your luck that Yukari found out about this.
Though I understand that you don't want anyone interrupting your late-night date.
N-N-Na-Nanase, you too? What are you going to do? Come on, the sun will come up if you don't hurry up and decide.
J-Just listen to what I say and do not take arbitrary actions! Okay! Now I'd like to announce the start of the first Seiryo Academy Ghost Busters Tour! "Fire Hydrant" I still don't feel anything.
I bet it was some kind of mistake.
What, it can't be! Ayano-chan, don't you know about "the seven wonders of the Seiryo Academy"? There you go again with the shady stories! Come on, don't be like that! Tell us.
Well, let's see.
First, there are the classics.
Ohana-san in the bathroom.
The piano in the music room that plays by itself when no one is in the room.
The staircase that gets longer on nights with a full moon.
Talk about clichés! The human mannequin that moves in the midnight.
The ghost of a dropout student that appears in the library.
The monster cherry tree that whispers Monster cherry tree? You know, the old cherry tree in the backyard.
Although it hasn't bloomed for years.
Anyway, they say you can sometimes hear whispers by the tree! I bet they just misheard the branches swaying in the wind.
So what's the other one? Well, it's supposed to be seven wonders, but there are only six wonders That's really clichéd, too They have nothing to do with hitodama at all! First of all, if there were really something in this school, he'd react to it right away.
Oh? Kazuma! That wasn't me.
You saw, didn't you? - No.
- Go to hell! What was that just now? Where did it go? Dunno.
It's no time to be laidback! See? There was a hitodama! I was right! I told you! Yeah, but with that kind of speed, it's going to be hard to take a picture of it.
Hitodama-chan! Hitodama-chan! I'm going to take a really nice picture of you, so come out! Can you sense the presence of the one from earlier? No, not at all.
You've got to be kidding! Someone who can get past your searching abilities? Good point.
You're hiding something from me, aren't you? Well, of course.
All kinds of things.
So, you want to know everything about me? Don't dodge the question! Explain everything you know! Oh my! Whoa! Wh-Wh-Wh-What did you do that for? Oh, I figured you'd let go of me if I did that.
Why you! By the way What? Behind you.
The way she screamed, then that fall How come everything about her is so unsexy? That's because, you know, it's Ayano-chan! Wow, that was a really convincing answer, somehow.
Why is that?! Go home Go home Don't come any closer It's going to be much worse next time Don't give me that crap! I'm going to make you pay for this! I won't let you get away! Don't.
Fire! Fire! Kazuma, why did you stop me? Well, let's see That thing said, "don't come any closer," remember? Which means it's plotting to do something somewhere.
So I figured that we should let it take us there instead of us destroying it right here.
Yup.
You just came up with that excuse, didn't you? It's not like that at all.
Now look at these crystal clear eyes.
See? You know where that thing went, don't you? Yeah, kinda Shall we go now? Big brother and big sis are working together? Right.
I'm sure they're fighting together at Ayano's school by now.
Sounds like a lot of work.
I would've gone with them and helped them out, too, if you asked me.
That would have made the trip meaningless.
Huh? By the way, Ren, what do you think about those two? What do I think? Let's see I guess it'd be nice if they both tried to get along a little better.
They waste no time arguing with each other every time they see each other.
I see.
Go home Go home.
Go home.
Wh-What is this? You wait! Hey, hey, don't chase it too far.
Watch out! Ayano-chan, are you okay? Damn you! Well, it's a good thing that you didn't get hurt.
Right, right, you're pretty tough, Ayano-chan! That compliment doesn't make me happy.
Don't tell me you're the one who did this! If that's what you want to think, it doesn't bother me.
But are you going to say that was it and dismiss that light and that voice? Get out of here "Infirmary" Get out! Get out! Unnatural phenomena are happening all over the place! I can't wait to find out what's going to happen next! What in the world is going on? It's pointless to even worry about it.
There's no way you can figure out what they're thinking about.
So you're not going to tell us anything about it, huh? It's not like I'm trying to hide it from you.
It's just that I still don't have conclusive evidence.
It wouldn't help anything if I told you my speculation, would it? You're lying! I'm telling you the truth.
Trust me.
I'm here to protect you, remember? Y-You think you can still hide it by telling me stuff like that Don't you trust me? Oh my goodness! They're totally in their own little world! It's cool that you want to pretend to be a princess and all, but you're still on duty, so get yourself together, okay! That's not what I was doing! It's okay, it's okay, because we understand! Just relax and be yourself, Ayano! Like I said, that's not true! Kazuma! Say something! - It's in the backyard.
- What? The wind has started to move All the winds on the premises are gathering at the backyard.
Probably the land veins are, too.
Why couldn't you sense that sooner? Their presences are natural.
They exist there naturally and are allowed to continue existing there.
They're fundamentally different from something that distorts the world order, such as youma or vengeful ghosts.
No wonder I didn't sense it at all.
Oh, how classic! No kidding! I didn't think the day would come for us to see this in person! You fools! This is what happens when you ignore warnings! Whoa! W-Wait a second! Seriously! - Damn it! - Doesn't this seem bad? The police might be here pretty soon.
That's enough.
But!! Don't cry! It just messed with you a little bit.
You'd never understand how humiliating it is to have a bucket fall on your head! I never want to understand that, either.
Looks like our princess is about at her limit! Stop playing and come down here.
I dare you to try and catch me! A-A fairy? She's a pixie, which is one type of fairy.
They're related to wind, but they're just a bunch of mischievous troublemakers.
Call me Tiana! Who cares about that? Why did you do such a thing? Because I wanted humans to stay away! But you know, this is a building that humans use! That's not my concern! Damn you! Calm down.
But! Don't behave like a spoiled brat while you're on duty.
You've been even more emotional today than usual.
That's because you know, an aversion to your own kind.
Because Ayano-chan and Fairy-san are the same age mentally.
Oh, I see.
Don't put me in the same category with her! Don't steal other people's lines! Stop laughing! Come on.
Don't be so mad.
I'll treat you to dinner or something next time.
Huh? Good for you! Kazuma-san is going to take you out on a date! Is-It's not like that.
Congratulations! Like I said, it's not like that at all! Y-You said you'd buy me dinner, but it'd better not be some fast food! I'm going to make you spend more than what you made from this whole thing! So be ready! Sure, whatever you say.
So what were you doing here, anyway? I'm going to make a dying old man's wish come true! Old man? The monster cherry tree I get it.
So the whispers that people said they heard were the pixies' Come on, everyone! Let's go! See ya! We just saw something unbelievable, didn't we? The last bloom of an old cherry tree, huh? We went through a lot, but if you think it was all to protect that scenery, you can forgive it all, huh? What? Nothing.
Spit it out! What? The most effective way to protect something is to let no one know of its existence.
But we noticed it.
Because those pixies made a commotion.
In other words, what they were doing was far from "protecting.
" Are you saying that fairies are sort of ditzy? No.
They're mischievous, but they're not stupid.
Then why? The characteristics of pixies are childishness, pleasure-seeking, and a love of pranks Basically they just wanted to have fun, playing tricks on humans.
Those frickin' pixies!! Come back here right now, you evil fairies! - But Kazuma-san, you knew about it all along, yet didn't tell her anything - I know you're hiding! - But Kazuma-san, you knew about it all along, yet didn't tell her anything - Show yourself right now! - So basically you were just enjoying watching Ayano-chan - Come out now! Where did you go?! - being made fun of, right? - Come out now! Where did you go?! Oh, boy I won't forgive you for this! I swear I'll kick your butts!
