Iroduku: The World in Colors (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - I Can't Stand Magic - full transcript

-Your picture!
-The intruder?

That picture...

Did you draw it?

Could you let me see it one more time?

Well, about that...

See this?

What were you doing breaking into someone's home?

-It's not like that--
-And then there's this.

That's mine.

You dropped it in my room.

I'm sorry.



I can explain.

There's no justifiable reason.

Someone who breaks into a person's home

can be sentenced to up to three years,
or forced to pay a 100,000 yen fine.

Or so I've heard.

I'm not sure you'd believe me if I told you.

If there's a real reason,

I wouldn't mind hearing it.

It was the magic's fault.

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

My Granny told me to go all of a sudden.

I rode on this weird bus,

and before I knew it I was there.

I thought, "I have to do something."

Even now I don't really know what I'm here for.

So...

You might not understand what I'm saying,

but me being in your room

was all the magic's fault.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

Forget about it.

Are you sure?

Well, you didn't steal anything.

So, it's all right.

I'm really sorry about all this.

Well, just be more careful from now on.

Though, is magic really something
you can be careful with?

I don't know.

That was my first time.

I don't really know how mages operate.

But, if you could just be a bit more cautious...

-I will. But--
-Bye.

I wanted to hear more about that picture.

Cannot confirm battery charge.

Why was I only able to see color in that moment?

Now entering standby mode.

I'm back.

Welcome home.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

No, I just felt like I was investigated.

What do you mean?

Anyway, I found the azurite.

You really do have the stone our family passes down.

Sorry for the wait.

Please enjoy, take your time.

Senpai, tell me about her. Your girlfriend.

Why was that girl escaping
out your window yesterday?

She's not my girlfriend.

Then why?

She says it is magic's fault.

I don't understand what you mean.

I don't get it either.

So, come on,
you don't need to give me such a lame excuse.

Your girlfriend is really cute.

-Like I said, she's not my--
-Senpai, I thought you only liked drawing!

-I'm telling you--
-Please, please, don't be so shy.

Let me take a picture next time.
Photo model....

I was able to reach Kohaku in England!

You talked with Granny?

I see.

To you, sixty years later, she's your Granny.

This is Kohaku now.

This is Grann--?

Kohaku?

She says she's finishing her studies
and coming home soon.

She said she wants to ask you all kind of things.

For now, all you can do is wait for her here.

Okay.

I don't even know how to get home,

or what I'm supposed to do now.

Don't worry about it,

when the time comes, you will know.

How much magic can you use?

I don't really like magic.

I haven't practiced at all.

Well, that is unfortunate.

The letter said you had some amazing powers.

Forcing yourself to learn something you hate
won't really help you pick it up.

Though...

the letter didn't specify a way to return to the future.

Getting back there

might require you to learn some powerful magic.

Magic is important, but you are in high school.

Why don't you try going to school for now?

That's right.

It's important to have a scholarly outlook in life.

I'll apply for your admission right away.

I'm sure you'd prefer being at Minamigaoka
with Kohaku?

-Good morning.
-Good morning!

Maybe I should have...

refused a little more earnestly.

Am I really going?

You'll be fine! The blazer looks good on you.

I'll tell the teachers that you're a relative
staying with us for a while on a magical trip.

Here's your lunch.

Have a nice day!

I just wanted to be alone.

What did I come here to do?

I hope you'll have a rich,
fulfilling experience here at our high school.

-Yes.
-And lastly,

please sign this form.

Property damage resulting from
magic usage agreement?

Well, in essence,
we just don't want you setting off fireworks,

freezing the pool, or destroying walls
with science experiments like Kohaku.

That's all.

Tsukishiro's mother is often here apologizing for her.

I'd ask that you don't do anything too crazy.

And so...

for a little while, she'll be staying
at Tsukishiro's house on a magical trip.

-She's her relative...
-Let's welcome her.

Is she a mage?

-Probably best to steer clear of her.
-Right.

I'm Hitomi Tsukishiro.

Pleased to meet you.

That girl...

Tsukishiro.

For today, you'll have to share your textbook.

Sure!

Go ahead.

Thank you.

It's like they're avoiding me.

I've met you before.

What a coincidence. We're in the same class.

My name's Asagi Kazano.

You can call me Asagi. Nice to meet you.

Is it okay if I...

call you Hitomi?

Sure.

Is something wrong?

I just thought it was rare.

That.

Rare?

The blackboard?

It felt like I was being avoided
by the person sitting next to me.

I'm sure that's because they heard you're a mage.

Here's a picture from our first-year class.

Kohaku was flying on a broom
and crashed through the roof.

She hit the blackboard and broke it,

and destroyed the door to the O'Free Hall.

-No way...
-Sometimes Kohaku overdoes it, doesn't she?

Everyone's been in the same class since our first year,

so some of them might be afraid of mages.

I see.

But, it's okay.

Most people get along well with Kohaku.

If you'd like,

we can eat lunch together.

-I'm grabbing something from O'Free.
-Me too.

Senpai!

I've got info!

-Look.
-You're right.

-It's Yuito's girlfriend.
-She's not my girlfriend.

No need to blush.

Come on, introduce us.

-I told you, it's not like that.
-What are you doing over here?

I could ask you the same, Kurumi-senpai.

I heard from Asagi.

Aoi's girlfriend transferred here, right?

I have things to ask her!

Hello! Remember us?

Do you?

Yes. You helped me out.

I'm Kurumi Kawai,
third-year in the Photography Club with Asagi,

this is the club president, Sho Yamabuki,

and this is Chigusa Fukazawa, a first-year.

It's a pleasure!

-Hey, would you like to be my photo model--
-And lastly!

You're already acquainted with our Yuito.

The other day...

We're good.

Why are you treating each other like strangers?

Well, we are.

She said she only wandered into my room
because of magic.

There you go with your excuses.

Why don't you just admit she's your girlfriend,
Yuito-senpai?

No way, they're dating?

That's the depressing guy from the Arts Club, isn't it?

The one they say is only interested in drawing.

She just transferred today, that was quick!

They say you should avoid mages.

-Sorry about this, but...
-Yes?

Can I ask something of you?

What is it?

Could you show me? That you can use magic.

Even if I tell people you entered my room with magic,
no one will believe me.

It's a bother for you too, isn't it?

They started spreading rumors right after you arrived,
and it's not fair if you are misunderstood.

You can use it, right?

Sorry it seems like I'm doubting you,

but I'm not sure I'm completely convinced.

If I show you magic...

will you believe me?

Of course.

Then I'll give it a try.

Hear that? She's going to do magic.

She's going to use magic!

-Hey, the transfer student is going to do some magic.
-Seriously?

Won't she just put another hole in the roof?

But it sounds interesting!

I'll make a star.

In the starry night,

shine your light.

Like the stars.

That's it?

It's a lot different than Kohaku's magic.

I was bracing myself.

That's that star-sand, isn't it?

-This stuff is cooler!
-You got that right.

I thought it was really nice.

And you didn't break the classroom.

It was really cute!

Say something, Yuito.

Why me?

That's about the best I've got.

I'm sorry.

Oh, she took off.

I CAN'T STAND MAGIC

I knew it.

I really can't stand magic.

Hitomi!

There you are, Hitomi.

Sorry things got awkward back there.

You went out of your way to show your magic.

It was nothing.

As a symbol of my apology, take this!

Is this the old "O'Free"?

Old?

That's good.

Hitomi, if you want, would you come and see
our after-school club?

We're having a big welcome for our new member.

Come and join us.

You don't know many people yet,
so I'm sure you're lonely.

I present the transfer student!

-Tsukishiro, right?
-Welcome!

Thanks for having me.

Don't be so nervous.
We're not some formal club or anything.

That's right.

The only members are us four and Yuito.
We basically just have fun while taking pictures.

We go off-campus for photography
and have summer training camps.

They leave the graduation album pictures to us, too.

The biggest event of the year
are the exhibitions at the Autumn Culture Festival.

This is the darkroom.

The president loves film photography.

We develop it here ourselves.

Though we can only do monochromatic photos.

Monochromatic?

Hitomi, do you like cameras?

No, I don't know a thing about them.

Asagi's family runs a photo studio.

Yamabuki works part time there.

They're both knowledgeable.
They'll help you with anything.

Yep. Leave it to us.

And Chigusa happens to be
the son of Aoi's boss at work.

He's a first-year,
but he was here before he enrolled.

Since I'm better at taking photos than Kurumi-senpai.

-If you'd be my model, I'd take some lovely photos--
-Shut it!

That was a great expression, senpai!

You'd better delete that!

-Right now!
-This is normal.

Don't worry about it.

We're about to go out under the pretext
of extracurricular activities

and wander around.

What is it?

Oh, nothing.

Is it Yuito?

He's the only one in the Arts Club.

The Photography Club and the Arts Club
share one clubroom,

so they often operate as one club.

Is he working today?

I couldn't tell you.

He might just be on the roof again.

Whenever he draws, he goes to his apartment
or somewhere secluded.

Cats will enter building,
please close door

-Hitomi, you're not coming?
-Maybe next time.

Well, see you later!

Bugs again?

-They're cute.
-Count me out.

So, are those two really dating?

Or are they not?

Looks like it was just a misunderstanding.

It'd be nice if Hitomi joins the club.

It would.

I'm out of film.

Sorry, I'm running back to the clubroom for more film.

I want to see colors one more time.

Excuse me...

Sorry to bother you.

I don't really mind.

Why are you out here?

I was looking for you.

Me?

Sorry about earlier.

I couldn't do much magic.

But I told myself I had to do it.

I wanted you to believe me.

I don't know how you felt,

but that's all I'm capable of right now.

I'm sorry too.

It feels like I pushed you into
doing something you didn't want to.

I felt bad.

That's not true.

-I had an ulterior motive.
-What?

I want you to show me the drawing.

-From that one day?
-Yes.

I don't really like to show people.

That drawing is special to me.

That drawing showed me the colors I'd forgotten.

It instantly shone a light on my ash-colored world.

Please. Just once more.

Will this satisfy you?

Thank you!

-Are you finished?
-Yes.

Thank you.

Sorry for interrupting you.

By the way...

Well-- I...

I'd...

I'd like to see it again. Your magic.

I think it's pretty amazing to be able to make a star.

Much more so than my drawings.

You've got to show me.

"Someday" works just fine.

I'd never considered that someone
might say something like that about it.

I'd like to see it again. Your magic.

To think there was someone
I could make happy with my magic...

I can't stand magic...

The special view

That awaits on top of the hill

You cut it out with your fingers

Magic grazes my ear

And the world changes color

Leaving me behind

The future scatters downward

It scatters downward and spreads under my feet

Even if monotony builds up and I feel depressed

If I can embrace

The eternal tomorrow

I'll get a little closer to you

-There's one! A cute girl!
-What?

-Me?
-No way. No way, no way, no way.

So, we ended up with no new members?

Did you actually not know?

Why...?

I'm sure that's just the power of magic!
