Iroduku: The World in Colors (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Where You Belong - full transcript

Hitomi Tsukishiro, a girl from a family of mages who lost the ability to see color when young, gets sent 60 years into the past when her grandmother Kohaku tells her one night to go back in...

I wonder when it started.

When did I stop enjoying fireworks?

The fireworks I saw with my mother...

Red, blue, yellow, green, orange...

They were all so beautiful.

I got older.

People important to me went far away.

And before I knew it,
the world had...

lost its color.

MAGIC SHOP

Are you done yet, Granny?



Hold on, just a little bit longer.

The fireworks are going to start.

You go on ahead.

NAGASAKI STAR FESTIVAL '78

Hurry up!

-The fireworks started!
-Aki, you took too long getting ready!

-Hikaru's coming, I had to!
-Hold on. Tsukishiro?

You came!

We didn't think you would.

You seem to avoid large crowds.

Are you meeting someone?

Or are you alone?

Hey, all the girls from class are coming.

If you want, you can join us, Tsukishiro--



I made a promise.

I see.

Then we'll see you later!

Wow, they're really shooting them off!

Is Yuu going after Hikaru too?

Welcome, welcome!

That's it. Scoop it up from there.

Call from Granny.

-Hitomi, are you there yet?
-Yeah.

I'll be there soon.

You can take your time.

Thanks.

I'm fine.

I don't mind being alone.

Saying that over and over
will eventually make it true.

Maybe that's also due to magic.

A modest magic used to protect oneself.

I can't stand magic.

If I wasn't a mage...

would the fireworks be pretty right now?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Granny.

Sorry I'm so late.

I finally finished the preparations.

Preparations?

A star-sand watch?

That's right. A required tool for time magic.

It's been continuously bathed in
60 years' worth of full-moon light, just for today.

To think it would borrow the full moon's power
on the night of a new moon.

It's such a paradoxical magic, don't you think?

I want you to go and see me
when I was a sophomore in high school.

I'll send you to the past with magic.

Wait a minute.

It's understandable you'd be
hesitant since this is so sudden,

but it has been decided.

-Why?
-Well, that's...

You'll see when you get there.

I'm sure you're reluctant to be separated from
friends and boyfriends and such...

Not really.

I don't...

care about that.

That's a bad habit of yours.

Don't turn away from them.

You being able to go is very special,
enjoy yourself.

Wait, I never said I would go--

Illuminate the flow of the darkness of eternity
that sinks into the night's silence, oh, radiance.

Starlit sky, fill the Earthen spirits.

Summer breezes over the mountains,
rains that feed the seas,

birds that cross the skies,
bolts that tear through the dark.

-Nature that creates the world, be the guide...
-Wait, Granny!

Let time rewind!

I don't remember much after that.

Granny's usual smile,

the tremors of the deafening fireworks.

Before I knew it...

MAGIC SHOP
KOHAKU TSUKISHIRO

From 2018?

OUT OF ORDER

Excuse me...

We've arrived.

Where are we?

The place you're headed.

Thank you very much.

PLATFORM:
PRESENT DAY

Riding without paying the fare is a crime!

-Where's the card reader?
-Cash only.

-Keeps business clean.
-What does he mean "cash"?

Criminal.

Will...

this cut it?

How neat!

Where am I?

-Unable to confirm location.
-What?

Due to network interference,
positioning information is unavailable.

-Would you like the last recorded location data?
-No.

Then, what day is it?

Unable to confirm date.

Due to network interference,
time information is unavailable.

-2018?
-Would you like the last recorded location data?

It won't open.

Please, open!

What should I do?

I just hid without thinking.

No matter how you look at it, I'm pretty suspicious.

Someone, help!

Hello? It's me.

Work? Until closing. Yeah.

Is there food? Then I guess I'll eat before I go.

Mind if I eat the curry from two days ago?

Yeah. Got it.

It opened!

You sure like taking pictures of bugs and stuff.

They're cute.

You're a mystery.

Isn't that Aoi's house?

What's wrong?

What a scoop!

I didn't think that Aoi had a girl.

Asagi, contact Yamabuki and the others.

-We're having a meeting!
-Okay!

It's the same.

The sea, and the mountains.

The area around Granny's house...

It's the same, yet a little different.

It's different, yet somewhat the same.

I'm really here, aren't I?

See?

Kawai, you shouldn't be spying on people.

But she was coming out of Aoi's house.

-Right, Asagi?
-Yes. Through the window.

That guy. He said he missed
club activities because of work.

See, it's an issue!

Doesn't it seem like he snuck his girlfriend into his room,
and she had to escape through the window?

Is that really his girlfriend?

I'll upload the video
and see what kind of response it gets.

What a pretty girl.

She's kind of illustrious.

She's got a nice form, smooth, long hair,

-and pretty eyes!
-Like that?

That's her!

Is she lost?

-I'll go see what's up.
-How kind, club captain!

Are you all right there?

Is something troubling you?

We're not suspicious people,

you just looked like you were lost,
so we thought we might be able to help.

Are you okay?

Minamigaoka High School...

Yeah, that's right. The one up the hill.

-Me too...
-What, you go to our school?

-What year are you?
-No, it's not like that...

The uniforms changed.

-Did they change them?
-No.

If you want, you can use this.

Your knees, they're scraped.

What is that?

Relax and enjoy.

KURUMI - SHOW THIS PHOTO TO AOI.
LET ME KNOW HOW HE REACTS.

Hey.

-Stop checking your phone at work.
-Oh, what's this?

Her, senpai.

Isn't she beautiful?

Who's that?

We're almost at the magic shop.

Thank you.

You're kind to show me all this way.

We were heading somewhere close anyway,
don't worry about it.

-That's right.
-We're all in the same club.

The Photography Arts Club

We take photos.

It seems Aoi is the only one taking Art.

-Hey, we don't have to bring up Yuito--
-It's fine.

Hey, are you Aoi's girlfriend?

-There's no way.
-Could it be that

he was about to force himself on her,
so she ran out through the window?

I'm sorry, you know, for Aoi--

-You're overstepping.
-Aoi?

You bailed out of Aoi's room earlier, right?

Did something happen?

It's a delicate subject, so if you don't want to--

Look! How pretty!

You're right, the sky is a gorgeous color.

-It's umeboshi-colored!
-Isn't it more crested ibis-colored?

-Let's go somewhere we can see the sky better.
-Yeah, let's!

It's okay.

I'm fine on my own.

Hey, over here!

Sorry to hold you up.

Let's go.

SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE HEART
MAGIC SHOP UPSTAIRS

Here it is, the magic shop.

If by any chance, Aoi did anything to you,
come to us any time.

We're on your side.

If you're here to buy star-sand to get back at him,

I'd sincerely advise against it.

Things come out wrong when he talks sometimes,

but he's not a bad guy.

So, please don't take it badly!

We hope you'll get along.

See you again!

HEAD RIGHT UP THE STONE STEPS

Thank goodness they had some smile magic left.

-For that important deal going down tomorrow.
-Yeah.

Welcome!

-Excuse me.
-Yes, what is it?

Is my order here?

Magic to produce a small rainbow,

and magic for coloring soap bubbles, right?

Just a moment.

SMILE MAGIC
100 YEN

I'll prescribe something
to help you understand your anxiety.

Please stop by again.

I'll have the usual, please.

-Of course.
-Excuse me...

Yes? What kind of magic would you like?

No... Is there a Kohaku Tsukishiro here?

Oh, are you a friend of Kohaku's?

Sorry, she's overseas in England right now.

Studying magic.

She said she's going to stay a little longer.

But, I wonder if she's failed already.

Oh, that's so like Kohaku.

It is, isn't it? Welcome!

Excuse me, I wanted to give a graduation gift
to my friend.

Sure, I'll be right with you.

Wait just a moment.

Granny...?

Sorry for the wait.

-Here's the magic for finding something you've lost.
-Thank you.

Unfortunately, Kohaku isn't here.

Do you have anywhere else to go?

Can you get back to where you came from?

Then I guess I'll just have to let you stay here
until that girl comes back.

-But...
-I can't throw a girl out all on her own.

Plus, if this letter is real,
that means you're my family.

Time magic is irreversible,

which makes it very hard to create.

I was shocked when you called me Granny,

but knowing Kohaku,
she may have been able to pull it off.

Besides, isn't it more exciting that I believe this?

It means that I've got to meet
my granddaughter's granddaughter.

By the way, my Granny gave me this azurite--

I'm sorry, I must have dropped it.

I'll go look for it.

Okay, stop for a second.

It's already dark outside. Leave the search for tomorrow.

If it's true that you're a mage,

the azurite will find its way to you
whether you search or not.

You can use this room.

It's the attic, so I'm afraid it's a little cramped.

I know this room.

Granny used to read storybooks to me here long ago.

I see. So this house is still standing 60 years from now.

But it has this brand-new smell to it.

Well, of course! It was just built last year.

I'd better go prepare you a change of clothes.

Sorry for all this.

It's quite all right. Don't you worry.

-I'll call for you when dinner is ready.
-Okay.

What's going to happen now?

EPISODE 1
WHERE YOU BELONG

Good morning.

-Morning.
-Morning.

-Did you sleep well?
-Yes, thank you.

And thank you for last night.

Don't worry about it.

I'm a novice mage too, so I get it.

Papa is a regular person, though.

But if Granny says it's okay, then there's no problem.

Right, Papa?

Granny is quite the mage herself.

You can stay with us while you wait for Kohaku.

Will Kohaku really come back?

She's always so unpredictable.

Now, let's have breakfast!

-Is it okay if I go out for a little while later?
-Of course.

I wonder what happened to the azurite.

You're not going to use magic
to find your lost possession?

Okay.

Use this.

Just close your eyes, think about what you want to find,
and scatter this into the air.

Okay.

What's that?

The neighbors said they saw a girl slipping out
the second-floor window yesterday.

I've got multiple accounts.

It's no use playing dumb.
Don't underestimate your mother's resources.

-I've got the proof right here, proof.
-I have no idea.

They say she's a long-haired beauty.

It's okay, I'm not mad.

Actually, I'm thinking "good job!"

-I was worried my son was only interested in drawing.
-May I be excused?

You know, since we're a single mother household,
people will talk about this a lot.

Don't make her leave from the second floor.

-Next time she can just--
-I really have no idea about any of this.

She may have been a burglar.

We should make sure she didn't steal anything.

I'll take this to the police as a lead.

I'll be at work late tonight.

Well, I'm off.

I can see the colors.

Who are you?

The night when I lost who I used to be

The night when I felt no one loved me

If I could only believe

in a tomorrow that’s crystal clear

I strained my eyes

in the brightness

I don’t even know

the color of your heart

We run to be sure we don’t miss

the new season and the signs of someone

Even if it’s far, even if it’s far

Like a prayer

Searching for the light

The rainbow will come after the rain

What did I come here to do?

Don't worry about it,
when the time comes, you will know.

-Do you like cameras?
-It's Yuito's girlfriend!

Can you show us? Use your magic.

I can't stand magic.

I CAN'T STAND MAGIC
