Nooo!

Submitting to your desire and feeling ashamed of yourself for it.

This is indeed what youth is about.

Even so, there's still someone who's reluctant to.

Yup, that guy over there with the out-of-bed hair!

Well, since you transformed last time, I'll let you off the hook.

Be sure to do decide clearly next time.

With a kiss, okay!

So I might change once more.

This is a special report.

Let's revisit last week's Akatsuki seaside incident.

The following was filmed by someone near the site at the time.

Please have a look.

How was it?

What? That's it?

It appears to be some kind of tornado.

But I was on TV!

They only got our backs...

Three beach cafe's were destroyed during this incident.

But seeing it after all this time...

The managers are quite upset since earnings peak this season.

...makes the impact fade away, right?

Hey, let's change the channel!

Maybe I'll be on longer this time!

I let my guard down...

Hikari is still being targeted after all.

I won't endanger Hikari ever again!

Takeru? Takeru?

What 's wrong?

You don't seem to be enjoying yourself.

N-No, I was just thinking about something.

Then here!

They're delicious.

One each, okay?

Don't be so stingy!

We're with a lot of people!

Ah! You took the biggest one!

First come, first serve.

Geez, it's so peaceful.

That's what is most important.

Such elegance...

What's that?

A cricket.

I wonder if that's the first of this year.

Such a beautiful sound.

It's twinkling almost as if...

Almost as if the sound were sparkling.

Episode 8

This Wonderful

World

Here.

It's a cricket.

This one was crying.

Cricket...

Such a beautiful voice.

Good morning, Mr. Cricket.

Please let me hear your beautiful voice today as well.

Takeru! It's about time you woke up!

Geez...

Recently, he's been sleeping in more and more, hasn't he?

Let's just open it.

Good morning, Takeru!

M-Morning...

Oh my...

Why did I have to see that in the morning?

You're the one who decided to look!

"That"?

Eh? Err...

Don't worry about it, don't worry about it.

It just means both your body and mind are healthy.

Healthy body and mind?

What does that mean, Jennifer?

Oh that's right, she's on a trip.

Sumie, could you please get me some soy sauce?

Oh, sure.

Oni-kun?

What is it, Sumie-sama?

Could you get him some soy sauce?

Drink until you rot.

Good morning!

- Morning!

You three are early again today.

Please look after my brother and Akari today as well.

Well then, I'm going to the school club now. I'll drop by on the way home.

Okay.

Watch out for cars!

Here's your share for the day, Takeru.

And here's yours, Ryou.

We've been getting a lot more requests lately. Keep up the good work, you two!

Hey, Oni-ko!

It's Ionius!

Listen, when I'm not with Hikari...

...I'll stay by her side and call your cell phone if anything goes wrong, right?

Then I'll return as soon as possible, okay?

Hmph, I don 't need your help. I'm all Hikari-sama needs!

Protecting Hikari is my job!

What did you say?

Who do you think you are, you little schoolboy!

What?!

What are you two doing?

No...

Nothing.

Well, I'm heading out first.

Have a safe trip.

Takeru, here.

Your lunch.

Get a hold of yourself!

Are you okay?

Y-Yeah...

It's nothing! Nothing at all.

Today's a great day for grocery shopping.

A great day for... grocery shopping?

Yes.

Going shopping with everyone. Doesn't that get you all excited?

I don't really know.

You'll understand eventually.

From the sound of that bike, I thought it was Takeru.

Guess I was wrong.

Umm, you know...

Yes?

I...

I like Takeru too.

Here's my formal declaration. I... don't want to lose to yo-

Really?!

I like Takeru too!

To think you liked him too... the two of us really match up well!

That somehow makes me happy!

Huh? I didn't mean it that way...

Sis!

What's wrong?

Sorry, we're coming!

Well,.

let's go.

Umm, wait!

Akatsuki Shopping District

Oh, Hikari! You look cute today too!

Thank you.

What will it be today? I'll make it cheap!

...and here's a little something to take with you!

Machines are impressive these days.

How much does one of these cost?

You've come to fit in quite well here.

The fish seller and the vegetable seller...

The whole town is so friendly towards you.

You haven't even been here for two months yet.

It must be because...

...I like it here.

Here?

Yes, "here" is more than just the town...

The Nishino family, all my friends, Takeru, Mari, Akari, and Ionius.

And that's not all!

What I've seen of school, the mountains, and the beach...

Everything. I love this world!

Mari?

Really... you're so...

Hey, there's a shop nearby with some good ice cream.

Want to go?

Yes!

Let's go, Akari!

Okay!

Hikari, you seem kind of happy.

Yes. A lot of good things happened today.

I see.

It must be rough... having to work when you get back.

I can't speak for the delivery part,.

but playing around with the bike isn't bad at all.

You really like motorcycles, don't you?

Yup.

It's so hot... You must be thirsty.

Y-Yeah...

Don't you get lonely when it's so quiet?

Why not turn the radio on?

Nah, it's broken.

Please have a look.

This was taken from an archeological site and dates back to the late Cretaceous period.

Finding fossils of large carnivorous dinosaurs is no surprise...

But what might this be?

Similar organisms existed in other time periods.

But to have both in the same period is impossible!

What could this be?

It must be ED.

Today's weather is good too!

Good morning, Mr. Cricket.

Takeru, wake up...

Ah, good morning.

Since it's so troublesome for you, I went ahead and woke him up.

You're unbelievable!

I never asked you to wake me...

But it means your body and mind are healthy, right?

Being healthy is a good thing.

Sumie, soy...

...sauce isn't needed today.

Damn.

Takeru!

If you're bringing lunch, I got some already.

No...

You forgot your water bottle.

Here you go.

Is something wrong?

Err no... nothing. Nothing at all...

What's going to happen here?

The Bon festival.

Bon?

Simply put, we pray for the happiness of our ancestors in the next world.

Visiting their graves and giving them offerings.

It's a time to remember the people from the past... or something like that.

I don't really understand.

I suppose you wouldn't. It's the first time you heard about it, right?

Yes.

And, I don't really know what it means to die.

A festival where we mourn the dead...

To keep thinking about those who have passed away...

Those who depart from this world want to be remembered by the living forever, right?

Do people feel such a lingering attachment to their lives?

You think about complicated things, don't you?

An attachment, huh?

When that time comes, all our future hopes and worries will disappear.

I suppose it's pretty scary if you think of it that way.

Um...

Someday, will everyone...

Will everything in this world come to an end someday?

Well, I guess...

Let's stop talking about such complex matters.

That's right!

Anyway, starting today is the Bon festival.

There are lots of beautiful girls in yukatas!

A chance to find a nice girl!

It's probably better to be carefree like them.

We should just live a normal life and not think about what happens after death.

It'd be such a waste!

Right?

Yes.

An unknown organism discovered as a fossil.

The remains of a monster recovered from the outskirts of Akatsuki a few months ago.

Part of the creature that was seen a week ago.

None of their common features match with any species that exist today.

However, they bear similar characteristics to organisms in certain previous eras.

If your hypothesis is correct,.

the ED in Japan can be seen as a premonition to the seventh large extinction?

That's right.

I never thought I'd see the awakening of an ED in my lifetime...

I suppose it means it's our turn now?

Extended Definition. In an awakened state,.

it's a monster with only its aggressive features augmented.

But, that it would emerge in a human too...

Plus, he maintains self-awareness.

By his own will, he protects the one whom he should be fighting against.

Isn't that dangerous?

How much does he know about his own powers?

Probably nothing.

He's so naive that it's cute.

Please don't act impulsively. I'm afraid.

I was scared too when I was young.

I worried every day that the world might end before I became an adult.

And then, when I became an adult, I got frightened for a different reason.

I realized that the rotten ugliness of this world will progress for all eternity.

What kind of conclusion do you desire?

It seems that we'll be witnessing a very interesting era.

If we can manage to survive, that is...

We're home.

Hey, they're back.

Hey, we're going to the Bon festival!

Oh yeah, it starts today...

I'll pass, I'm exhausted...

Ta-da!

Welcome home, Takeru.

Um... do I look good in it?

Y-Yeah...

Wow! It's a lot prettier than it was this afternoon!

Sis, what's that?

Shall we go have a look?

Okay!

Takeru!

I found another good thing today.

No, no! I have to stay alert!

There's no need to try so hard.

You're so serious, Takeru.

I decided not to let my guard down.

That I'd never let Hikari face such danger again...

Hey, it's going to fall!

Sorry.

Like melting ice cream, human emotions move on their own.

Even if you tried to force it back, nothing good would come of it.

Is that so...?

I've just decided what I'll use my salary on.

Really?

But that was such a waste... That ice cream...

Takeru!

- Hey!

Takeru's eyes are glued to Hikari.

If you don't watch out, she'll take the lead.

Takeru.

Umm...

What is it?

Your sleeve is wrinkled...

It's embarrassing.

Ah, thanks.

That's probably the best Mari could do.

Is she a kid?

Hey, hey, want to go have ice shavings with us?

Just for a bit.

I'm home, Mr. Cricket.

I brought you some eggplants.

Takeru! Takeru!

If you're here for the fireworks, they'll start soon.

Mr. Cricket won't cry...

Hikari, he's...

Mr. Cricket...

Mr. Cricket!

A bug's lifespan is so short...

It can't be helped.

Hey, the fireworks are starting!

It can't be helped...

...it's a living being.

One day...

This is...

This is...

...death?

Hikari...

There's no point in crying.

You'll be bringing a lot more death to this world.

Who's there?

You are me.

I am you.

You completely forgot after you became human, didn't you?

Who are you?

I don't know... I don't know you!

Yes, you've forgotten.

Then recall my role.

Look at your hands.

My duty is to put an end to this tedious and insignificant world.

To put an end to this ugly, suffocating world.

All you have to do is wish for it.

No...!

You've done it numerous times before, haven't you?

Now, awaken to your true role!

A dream?

Hikari-sama...

It seems that you have finally awoken.

massugu ni kocchi wo neratteru taiyou

The sun aims straight at us.

natsu to iu hikari ni yakaretai

I want a tan from the bright summer light.

kyou ga donna fuu ni watashi wo kaete yuku no kana

I wonder in what way today is going to change me.

chotto dake fuan demo suteki

Despite some worries, it'll still be great.

hajike tobu waki agaru natsu no kakera ga

A part of summer bursts, jumps, and boils,.

kirari sora ni umi ni sekai ni furi sosogu

hitting the sky, ocean, and world.

dakishimete

Hold me.

sasayaita sono toki anata wa dousuru

What will you do when I whisper those words to you?

ayafuya na yasashisa nanka iranai

I don't want precarious affection.

yokan wa isshun de shinjitsu ni naru kara

Since a hunch can become truth in an instant,.

kono atsui kisetsu ni

in this hot season.

Next Episode

Good afternoon. I'm Mari Nishino.

I wonder why Hikari and Takeru haven't been getting along recently?

Am I imagining this? Or is this my chance?!

Ahh, no. This battle should be decided fair and square.

Next time on This Ugly and Beautiful World,.

"Wishing Upon a Star."

For a maiden, love is something to bet one's life on.

I won't give up until I win! Go me!
