Chikahito: Oh no!
I have to get everyone up soon!
Text: I met some mysterious people when I came to Kyoto on a trip,
And for some reason I started to want to live in Kyoto, though I think it was unwillingly.
FX: Footsteps
Chikahito: Hurry! Hurry!
Text: I was lured, and since yesterday, right next to Kitano Tenmanguu,
Chikahito: Everyone!
Breakfast is ready!
Text: I've started living in this house, joined at the eaves to a temple alley in Kamishichiken.

Sakura: Morning,
Chikahito-kun.
FX: Nodding
Chikahito: Good morning.
Sakura: Oh--
It's pretty, and it looks tasty.
Chikahito: I'm sorry for doing it like this--
Sakura: No, no.
It's awesome that we can eat cafe food in our house.
FX: Noogies
You really worked hard at your job, didn't you?
So,
Those two still haven't come down, huh.
Chikahito: Do you always get up early, Sakura-san?
When I called you came down immediately, and you're fully dressed…
--------------
!!! page 05
Sakura: I wasn't sleeping.
Chikahito: Huh?
Did you have some kind of errand last night?
Sakura: No.
I can't sleep.
Without body warmth.
Chikahito: …Huh?
--------------
!!! page 06
Sakura: My partner doesn't come up here, so it's fine.
Chikahita: Huh?
Huh…
FX: Thinking
Chikahito: Augh!
FX: Turning around
FX: Swinging
Chikahito: Augh!!!
FX: Surprised
--------------
!!! page 07
Tachibana: Tea.
Chikahito: Huh?
FX: Menacing
Tachibana: Tea!
Sakura: Tachibana's horrible in the morning.
FX: Quivering
Sakura: if he eats he'll get a little brisker.
Chikahito: He's scary!
Sakura: I'll make the tea.
Can you call Hana again?
FX: Slowly
FX: Exhaling
Chikahito: Do--
Don't tell me that Hana-san
Is like Tachibana-san too…
FX: Terror
--------------
!!! page 08
Sakura: Not at all, not at all.
Well.
If Hana can sleep, Hana will always be sleeping.
FX: Uncertain
Chikahito: Then how do I--
Sakura: You have the spell, don't you?
With Hana.
Say today's menu
In a huge voice.
Chikahito: Ri--
Right.
Um, well, ham and eggs,
Consomme soup and potato salad,
FX: Running footsteps
Chikahito: AND PASTA WITH WALLEYE POLLACK ROE. [TN: Mentaiko]

Chikahito: Why a frog?
Hana: It was delicious.
Thanks.
FX: Froggy motions
Chikahito: You're welcome.
I'm glad.
FX: Slowly.
Sakura: Now then.
Shall we get on with the preparations?
Chikahito: Are you going out?
--------------
!!! page 11
Sakura: It's the male attendants' assistance.
FX: Footsteps
Chikahito: Male attendants?
Sakura: Tying the obi of the maiko and their older sisters, the geiko, of Kamishichiken. [See TN]
I really tie them tightly.
Without a man's strength, the obi will come completely apart.
Chikahito: I think I've seen that on TV!
Hana: Sakura's tied obi are pretty.
But it doesn't hurt.
--------------
!!! page 12
Chikahito: Hana-san, you'e had one tied?
Hana: Yup.
Chikahito: So Hana-san really is a girl…
Sakura: Yes?
Chikahito: She's a boy!?
Sakura: Yes--?
Chikahito: Which is it!?
--------------
!!! page 13
Tachibana: Shut up.
FX: Thump
Tachibana: We're going out.
FX: Smoothly
Chikahito: Uh, um,
Tachibana-san, are you going too? To help with the kimono?
Tachibana; A lecture.
Chikahito: Where is there a protest!? [TN: Both pronounced 'kougi.']
FX: Death-glare
Chikahito: Looking like that in the morning!?
Sakura: You may have the kanji mixed up.
--------------
!!! page 14
Sakura: Tachibana is a college student.
FX: Fuming
Chikahito: Huh!?
Really!?
Tachibana: You got a problem with that?
FX: Shaking head
FX: Shaking head
Sakura: Tachibana and I have to go out, but
What about your school, Chikahito-kun?
Chikahito: I'll be attending starting in April for the new term.
Since it's already halfway through March, I'm on spring break.
--------------
!!! page 15
Sakura: Then
Do you have anything to do today?
FX: Footsteps
Chikahito: Not really.
Sakura: Then in that case can you keep Hana company?
FX: Footsteps
Chikahito: Huh?
Sakura: There's something I want Hana to deliver,
FX: Footstep
Sakura: But Hana alone--
When Hana is alone, Hana will drop everything and rush into a noodle shop.
Please?
Hana: Noodles!?
FX: Floppy
Chikahito: Lo--
Looks like it.
Hana: Chikahito, shall we go together?
--------------
!!! page 16
Chikahito: If you don't mind.
FX: Smiling
Hana: I'm glad.
Tachibana: Are you happy, Hana?
FX: Staring
Tachibana: ……
FX: Startled
Hana: Yup!
Sakura: Right,
The two of you go get ready.
FX: Grabbing
Chikahito: But the tidying up--
Sakura: I'll do it. Look after Hana.
FX: Whirling around.
--------------
!!! page 17
Chikahito: Right,
Well--
FX: Footsteps
Tachibana: Hana,
It might get cold suddenly.
Wear your coat when you go.
Hana: Yup!
FX: Footsteps
Sakura: …Well,
In the middle of March, the university is on spring break,
But it looks like Chikahito-kun didn't notice that.
Tachibana: There's a lot he doesn't know.
You making a blockhead like that go, just the two of them--
Sakura: That was the hope.
--------------
!!! page 18
Sakura: His.
There's nothing for it, right?
He's our owner now, me included.
--------------
!!! page 19
Sakura: And this Ura-Shichiken.
Chikahito: Is this--
Nishiki market?
--------------
!!! page 20
Chikahito: Everything looks delicious.
Oh right,
Shall I buy some pickles, [TN: A famous Kyoto specialty]
For dinner?
Huh!?
FX: Vanished
Chikahito: Hana-san!
FX: Wow
[TN: As well as being an actual restaurant (and one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Kyoto), Gogyou is named for the Five Elements theory.]

Chikahito: The meeting place isn't here!
FX: Running
Chikahito: Wait,
Here--
FX: Grip
FX: Blink
FX: *breathing in*
Chikahito: I'm sorry!
Um!
FX: Blushing
Hana: No,
It's fine.
Voice: How nice, how nice, you're friends.
--------------
!!! page 22
FX: Shrieking
Chikahito: Wha-wha-what-what!
FX: Sudden
Chikahito: Who's he!?
And also
What's with that smile?
He's sketchy!
--------------
!!! page 23
Chikahito: Um, um, who are you!
FX: Peering around
Hana: Hidetsugu!
Chikahito: Huh?
Hidetsugu: Yes,
I'm called Hidetsugu,
Chikahito-chan.
So,
Is there something you wanted to buy?
Hana: Noodles!
Hidetsugu: That's always what you want, Hana.
Chikahito: Huh?
Huh?
--------------
!!! page 24
Waiter: …Smoked miso ramen,
Soy sauce and pork belly ramen,
FX: Oh…
And salt ramen.
Sorry for the wait. [TN: This is a stock phrase]
Hidetsugu: First the smoked miso, okay?
If it's not enough, you can order another one.
FX: Nodding
Hana: Time to eat!
Chikahito: Ti--time to eat.
HIdetsugu: Go on, go on!
FX: Slurping
Chikahito: Yeah, there's something sketchy about him.
--------------
!!! page 25
Hidetsugu: Is it good,
Hana?
FX: Nodding
Hidetsugu: Since this is an izakaya, their nabe is probably delicious too.
Hana, you'll eat the noodles first, though.
Chikahito-chan, how's yours?
Chikahito: It's delicious.
Say,
How do you know my name?
Hidetsugu: That's because you're the new resident of the Ura-Shichiken.
--------------
!!! page 26
Chikahito: Um,
Hidetsugu-san,
That is--
Hidetsugu: I'm the owner of that place.
The present one.
Chikahito: I'm sorry to not have introduced myself.
Since I'll be living there from now on--
Hidetsugu: No, don't worry about it.
Hana called you against your will, right?
Using the myouhou--
--------------
!!! page 27
Hana: Yup,
I called him.
Hidetsugu: That's why I wanted to meet you,
And see what it is about you that Hana likes so much.
Hana: Chikahito is the same as Hana.
--------------
!!! page 28
Chikahito: Huh?
FX: Hmm?
Hidetsugu: Tachibana
Said that he had no special ability, right?
Hana: Yup.
But we're the same.
--------------
!!! page 29
Chikahito: Um,
What are you…
Hidetsugu: Will you let me
Make certain of something, real quick?
--------------
!!! page 30
--------------
!!! page 31
Chikahito: A…again!
Hana: The ramen…
FX: Depressed
FX: Huh?
Hidetsugu: …Well, I removed it.
Chikahito-chan, you're inside, right?
Chikahito: ?
Hidetsugu: Yeah, certainly.
--------------
!!! page 32
Hana: Like I said, we're the same.
Hidetsugu: Where,
I wonder?
Hana: The place
Without.
Chikahito: ?
?
--------------
!!! page 33
Hana: The same as Hana,
Nonexistent.
--------------
!!! page 34
Hidetsugu: …Do you mean…
Chikahito: Um, please wait!
Is there something with me that…
This means
That you can do it too, Hidetsugu-san.
Hidetsugu: Huh?
Chikahito: Making
This weird space? Looks like it.
Hidetsugu: Well, I can't do it
Like Sakura, and cover a wide range perfectly,
But if I have a blood-sealed oni with me, I can usually do it. [TN: 'Oni' is written 'hidden menace,' but it means 'spirit' here]
--------------
!!! page 35
Chikahito: A demon!?
FX: Heart pounding
Hidetsugu: No, no.
You don't know anything, huh,
Chikahito-chan.
FX: Flapping hands
Chikahito: Is this…
Is this common knowledge for Kyoto people!?
Hidetsugu: It's probably not common knowledge, but--
--------------
!!! page 36-37
Although the Gion district is the most famous 'geisha' district in Kyoto, there are actually four others that survive around the city. The Kamishichiken 'geisha' district is right next to Kitano Tenmanguu, where our heroes live. Kyoto people actually say 'geiko' and 'maiko' for 'geisha' and 'apprentice geisha.' You can tell geiko and maiko apart because geiko wear their obi completely tied up, as opposed to in a train, wear normal height shoes, and wear wigs, as well as less elaborate hair ornaments. This picture shows the geiko and a maiko of Kamishichiken serving tea at the Kitano Tenmanguu shrine, 24 February 2008 (this is a yearly event). My single best picture from Japan is of two Gion maiko (taken with permission in May 2008).
There's a certain in-joke in Chikahito asking Tachibana, a college student, where the protest is; Kyoto is a college town, and Kyoto University, one of the four most prestigious universities in Japan, is well-known as a leftist hotbed. The police still keep rather close tabs on the student socialist organizations, and if there's going to be a protest in Kyoto, odds are it's going to start or end at Kyodai, as it's called.
Man, Hidetsugu totally reminds me of Seishirou.
I'm going running, and then there will be coffee and a shower, come hell or high water.
