Iroduku: The World in Colors (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - The Burden of Venus - full transcript

The colors I saw then
were lost to me again in the blink of an eye.

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

Do you have any idea what it was

that let you see colors?

-No.
-I see.

I wonder why they went away again.

Hitomi, let me tell your fortune.

There aren't many stars out tonight.

Then let's do a magic star reading.

Star birth, paint for us the heavens of the evening.

What's your star sign, Hitomi?

-Leo.
-Okay, Leo it is.

Whisper to me

the Leo's morrow.



I see.

You should have fun and live in the now.

If you do, a world of colors is waiting for you.

That's it.

That's vague...

-Not at all. There's no way that one won't come true.
-Why?

Because summer break starts tomorrow!

What does that even mean?

What's wrong? Something happen?

She didn't do too well on her practice exam.

Just look at this. It's already summer, and it's hot.

Don't you mean it's still summer?

You want to enter a national university?

-The tuition is too cheap to pass up.
-That's the only reason?

It's important!

Hitomi, Kohaku!
Don't you have any magic to make me smart?

There's some for refreshing you,
but nothing for intelligence.

That's good enough! Refresh me!
I want to forget the practice exam results!

But wouldn't you forget
all the English words you learned, too?

Chigusa!

Don't anger a test-prepper!

Not there!

Get back here, Chigusa!

-Hey, the meeting!
-Hold on, I just need one good shot at him.

What are they doing?

It would seem Chigusa made a misstep.

-Props to them for enduring this heat.
-They'll wear themselves out and come right back.

Good morning.

Oh, hi. Morning.

We have some first timers, so I'll repeat it.
Our club has a summer break training camp every year.

Really, a camp?

It's a Photography Club tradition.

Yeah, they say it's best to deepen friendships
around an open fire.

We rent the same place every year,
so they were kind enough to give us half price.

Now there's a deal!

Right?

We also leave the camp organization
to our next president.

Third-years have summer courses now,
plus it's a good dry-run before you become president.

Asagi, can I count on you?

Me?

Oh, Miss Asa will be president?

-I'm all for that! Right, Hitomi?
-Yeah.

So it's already decided?

Of all the second-years,
you have the most club experience.

You'll be fine, Asagi. I know you can handle it.

Let us know if you need help.
I'll support you whenever I can.

Thanks, Hitomi!

Then Hitomi can be the vice president!

I'm planning an anthological photo shoot that day too.
I'm counting on you!

President, and vice president!

Here you go.

I got one for your personal use.

Thank you very much. I'll take good care of it.

Wow, that's so pretty!

Is this a blue sky? Or maybe a sunset?

It's a sunset. It's a beautiful rose color.

It's strange.

Until a little while ago, it felt normal not to see colors.

I was never concerned with stuff
like what color the sky was.

But now, I want to know what it all looks like.

Why not ask everyone?

What could I say in this situation?

I've been hiding the fact that I can't see colors.

I should have said something sooner.

You won't change anything by wallowing.

What's important is what happens next.

HITOMI: I WILL DO MY BEST WITH ASAGI

Miss, having to wait on you for one cup of coffee...

-seems pointless.
-Thank you!

Here's your fee.

Why don't you just study at home?

I can't concentrate at home.

That's what you say,
but isn't it because you were lonely without me?

Yeah, right. After just seeing you this afternoon?

Your idiot is showing.

By the way, will you be okay going home?

-This place gets surprisingly dark once the sun sets.
-My dad said he'd come to get me.

Until then, I've got to keep at the grind.

In other words, scram?

-Give it your all, test-prepper.
-Thank you!

Oh. There it is.

Kurumi!

-Sis!
-I'm here to get you.

Hold on.

Yeah, yeah.

What about your job, sis?

You're never home until late.

I took a rare vacation day.

So I made it a research day.

You should forget about work on your day off.

Well, Dad did pay my costly study abroad tuition
so I could become a pastry chef.

It's the least I can do.

Dad did complain about that a lot.

You were admitted to a national university
and then decided to study abroad.

You even had a secret job,
and went to baking school.

Man, I used every trick in the book
to try and convince Dad.

You must have been pretty busy back then.

It's no different now.

But I really did have fun.

I did what I wanted to do, and made some people happy.

That's all I'm trying to do.

Why are you taking a picture?

I thought you were making a good face.

You should do what you want, too, Kurumi.

Even if Dad is against it,
I'll be on your side.

Too heavy! It's so hot!

What is this training for?

No complaining. We do this every year.

-My generation would prefer glamping.
-I'm sure they would.

But you can't call that camping.

I'm done signing us in.
We're site 10, on the inner right.

You're really into it, future president!

I'm melting.

Let's get going.

What? Just when we set everything down?

It's heavy, let me take it.

I'll take it.

It's fine, I'll carry it.

That's our acting president! Reliable as ever!

-Kohaku, you carry your own.
-What?

Kurumi?

Hey!

Don't leave me behind!

We will now begin
this year's Magic Photography Arts Club...

Cat got her tongue.

No worries, Asagi!

We will now begin the Magic Photography Arts Club's
one-day training camp!

Thank you!

Thank you!

It's done!

That went by fast.

We do have more people than last year.

I'm hungry from all that work.

Barbecue, barbecue!

Aren't times like these perfect
for showing off your womanly side?

-Why am I doing it?
-You just happen to be the best at it.

Well...

I do help out in the kitchen at work sometimes,
so I get it, but it just lacks atmosphere.

What does that mean?

By the way, Kurumi, don't you have an older sister?

Did I not tell you?

I've never heard about her.
What does she do?

She's a pastry chef.
She works at a shop called Multique Roll.

Really? I know that place!

Some kids in my class are huge fans.
Look! This is their most popular thing, right?

Yeah, that. My sister created that one.

Oh, neat!

She's really something.

She was good at whatever she tried,
and even now she's thinking about her future.

She achieves her dreams.

I look up to her.

You must be proud to have her as a sister.

Must be nice having a grown up sister.
Could she model for us?

No way. She's very busy, after all.

I guess I'll have to settle for little Kurumi, won't I?

Would you two look the same if I compared?

We don't look alike at all.

Compared to my sister...

I'm nothing.

THE BURDEN OF VENUS

-What time is the photo shoot?
-Nine p.m. at Megami Bridge.

Why a bridge?

There's a gorgeous passenger boat
that leaves from Nagasaki Port.

We can capture that from some rare angles.

Wow, I thought Chigusa could only photograph girls!

The setting I'm going for is a girl
watching her lover depart by boat from the bridge.

Doesn't a sorrowful shot
from over her shoulder sound gripping?

I know that'll make a good one!

So, girls, who wants to model?

-I'll pass. Pick someone else.
-Sorry.

Me too, sorry.

Really?

Then, little Kurumi!

I just said no.

-It'll be so fun! I'll take some real good ones.
-You're getting on my nerves. Stop.

Oh, the meat's done! I'll take that.

I was working on that one!

-Then I'll take this one.
-Hey, that was mine!

-Our president is so kind!
-He's so generous.

You guys...

Kurumi?

-Is something wrong?
-What makes you ask?

Well, you looked a little down.
I thought maybe your exams were getting to you.

Well, yeah.

Sorry about before.

I brought down the mood didn't I?

No, not at all.

Do you know?

About Yamabuki and Aoi's career paths?

Yamabuki likes cameras,
and will study photography at university.

Aoi is aiming for a national university, like me,
and is suddenly motivated.

He seems to be drawing more intently now.

I wonder what changed.

The two of them are making the same face as my sister.

Your sister?

Yeah. My role model.

How's the drawing coming along?

It's not quite there yet, so don't look.

Don't be so shy.

How about you?
Don't you have to present a piece for your exam?

Haven't decided.
I'll probably be better at it by then, anyway.

You're confident.

So, you'll continue school?

Yeah.

If it's a national university,
I can manage the tuition on my own.

I want to give drawing a real shot.
Since there's someone watching me.

Is that so?

Then whoever creates a good piece first is the winner.

That doesn't make sense.

Plus, she always follows her heart
and gives her all.

She sounds like a powerful big sister.

Like Kohaku.

Yeah, they're probably similar.

They say things like, "Because it's my dream."
They can move forward with that alone.

I envy that.

I bet it's nice being passionate about something.

I don't have anything I like that much.

What about photography? Don't you like it?

I do.

But I'm not into the details like Yamabuki,
and not as good at taking them as Chigusa.

I like it enough to do it as a hobby.

I don't having anything I want to do.
Maybe that's why I can't devote myself to my studies.

Anyway, can you keep this conversation between us?

Chigusa would have a field day with what I told you.

You're probably right.

It's not like I can't hear you.

Alight.

Capture the scenery, sand of stars.

Next, let's draft the club report for the president meeting.

The troublesome bits are the applications
for outside activities like this.

Got it.

You'll be able to handle it
without worrying too much.

Okay. This looks about right.

Is that...?

Magic that captures memories.

Someday, we'll use this star-sand with everyone,
and remember today vividly.

I heard it's the first baby step in learning time magic.
There's some for you too.

Now, I'll go make some for everyone.

Magic?

If I could use all sorts of magic too,

would I have been a bigger help to Kurumi?

What are you doing, Tsukishiro?

Hey...

This...

I may have finally made something I can show you.

I want you to see it!

I'm happy.

Colors... There are so many colors.

It's thanks to you.

Your magic worked.

Thank you.

It was nothing.

-Show me again sometime.
-Okay.

Well, I'm heading back.

Well...

That drawing...

taught me some colors, I think.

Thank you for that.

Kurumi.

So this is where you've been.

-What is it?
-Should I give you a star reading?

What sign are you?

A Libra.

We've got a good view of the southern sky.

Star birth, heavens of the evening.

Whisper to me the Libra's morrow.

I see.

Have fun and live in the now.

If you do, a world of colors is waiting for you.

That's pretty vague.

I know, right?

I'm making my underclassmen worry about me.

I'm so hopeless.

Kurumi?

Yeah, I'm all better.

-The stars are so pretty.
-I'd love to do some astronomical photography too.

Hey, Kurumi.

Have you seen a picture of yourself?

Here!

This is from the club?

Yeah, the little Kurumi special edition!

-See, there's a good expression in each of them.
-What?

You don't need anything else,

if you can make a face this good.

Oh, no.

What? It's already gone!

Did you get the time wrong?

-No, I looked it up for sure.
-There's plenty of time before its scheduled departure.

-There's no way we'll make it now.
-No.

We'll make it if we run.

-What? But we have luggage!
-Leave it all behind!

What?

Let's go, Hitomi!

Okay.

Seriously?

Kurumi!

Whatever!

Everyone likes things to different extents.
You'll discover things that you like even more!

Stuff like that doesn't need to be decided in a hurry.
You'll be fine just taking your time! I know you will.

Boy, that was cheesy.

I don't really care about your future at all!

Eavesdropping? You're the worst.

But I'll take some too!

Some better photos than yours!

Right now, photography is my number one.

Then you'd better step it up!

What's that mean? You're irritating!

Wait a minute!

Hitomi, use your magic to stop the ship!

Impossible!

That's one fast ship!

-It's already gone, now what?
-It's because I slowed down to match Kurumi's pace.

This was your photo shoot, wasn't it?
What happened to that determination?

Scored another beautiful face.

This is plenty.

-They're full of energy.
-Shouldn't you stop them?

-It's on you, future president.
-What?

Are those two the president's responsibility?

Hitomi?

Sorry.

I must be really worn out.

That's for sure.

So, what do I do about my piece?

You can just think of something else.

The view from here is also quite beautiful.

You're right.

Won't this work?

Um...

What does that night skyline look like
to you all right now?

I...

I...

I have something I want to tell you all.

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

I've been wishing for one thing this whole time.

-Is this magic?
-I want her to keep on smiling.

-It's hard, huh.
-It felt like I was forcing my feelings on you.

-There's nothing we can do about it.
-I want to remember this... And about you guys.
