Angel, by Mariko Takigawa
"Why have my wings broken?"
"No, I will not give up!"
"I will never give up!"
And I won't give up either!
If I just keep trying...
Washio-san
Good morning, Washio-san!
I was just doing some morning exercises. I'll be ready to go soon.
Huh? A break?
For a whole week?
I couldn't take off that long!
Practice is already behind schedule as it is.
That'd be rude to Takigawa-san!
Huh? Takigawa-san suggested the break?
I understand...
Is Urara Kasugano stepping down from her role?

Fruit of Anguish
What should I have done differently?
I've been anguishing over it so much, I just don't know anymore.
All I know is...
I'm just no good?
I've been trying so hard, too...
It's not a question of how hard you're working.
Anybody can just follow a set of directions.
I want you to show me your Angela.
Well now... It's a bit of a walk from the station...
But you can't beat this part of town! Plenty of sun too!
See?
The view from up here is nice.
Ain't it?
This is my top recommendation!
It auto-locks too, so the security is top-notch!
You sure?
What? You wouldn't doubt me, would you?
I sell honesty, peace of mind, and sincerity now!
You're just trying to get contracts signed to pump up your sales numbers, aren't you?
Gulp!
Ah, no, well I mean... I am a salesman after all.
Coco, you stay here.
I'll go back to Palmier Kingdom for now.
I want to do some more research on the Time Flowers.
No.
I didn't plan on staying very long...
Running away like that is what made Nozomi cry!
Have a real talk with her. About what lies ahead for you two.
Got that?
What lies ahead, huh...
Huh?
Coco?
Huh? N-nozomi?
Why?
"Why?"
Uh, I live here.
Ehh...?
We'll go with this place!
Huhh??
Tenant: Kouji Kokoda
It's decided!
Thank you for your business! Thank you very much!

Ropu~!
You don't need to do all that!
Aren't you busy enough with teaching?
Don't worry, leave this to me!
I do it all the time with my students!
The trick to cleaning windows is to wring the towel out real good, and wipe with a U-motion!
"Wow. Nozomi is even cuter now that she's grown up..."
"I wish she was my Queen..."
Kurumi, what're you saying!?
It's because you won't make a move, Coco-sama!
As the King, you should have no problems telling her how you really feel!
Ropu!
Ah, Syrup!
Ropu!
Coco, I brought your stuff!
Thanks, Syrup!
Good work.
Hey, that's Urara's song, isn't it?
How nostalgic!
Ropu!!
I j-j-j-just happened to be listening to it-ropu!
What kinda songs does Urara sing these days-ropu?
She doesn't sing at all, it sounds like.
Ropu?
Right now, she's too busy practicing for a play.
But it seems like she's pretty worried about it.
Ropu...
Ropu! Urara, you there?
Huh?
Syrup?
Yo!
I went to your agency office, but they said you were off today.
Um... You're really Syrup, right?
Huh? Who else would I be?
Well I mean... You've really changed.
Have I?
Anyway if you're free, wanna hang out?
Huh?
Why're you hiding your face?
I'm an actress, so I don't want to stand out too much.
Huh...
I wish I had a guy like that!
He's so cool!
Syrup's the one standing out.
I might as well be invisible.
Woah~!
This is so good!!
You betcha! It's one of my specialties!
I went around to a bunch of pancake houses for research!
Some customers travel quite a long way just to come here and eat those pancakes!
It's really that tasty, huh?
Hm?
Wanna bite?
No. I'm fine. I'm an angel.
Angel?
I'm playing an angel, so I need to give off a fleeting aura.
So I'm holding back on food.
Bwahaha!
You? Holding back on food?
You'd always order tons of stuff from the cafeteria!
You were the biggest glutton there!
That was a long time ago!
But secretly, you really want some, don't you?
It's so good...
No thank you!
Wouldn't a gluttonous angel be more interesting than a fleeting one?
I can't just go changing the character like that.
Huh, is that so...
But you're on break anyway, so you should just eat what you want!
I can't allow myself to...
Yuuko! Ain't the babysitter here yet?
The trains are stopped, so it's gonna be a while!
Howdy, y'all!
There, there! Don't cry!
Excuse us! We'll be right with you!
Excuse me!
If it's alright with you,
— Huh?
Peek-a peek-a peek-a...
Boo!
Peek-a peek-a peek-a boo!
Peek-a peek-a peek-a...
Boo!
Ahh, sorry!
Jeez, what're we gonna do?
Extraordinary!
Bursting aspirations!
Because you're all here...
I'll become stronger!
Yuuko-san is amazing, isn't she?
She works, does chores, and takes care of her kid on top of it all.
I've got my hands full doing just one of those.
And I can't even do that right...
I worked hard to stand up on that stage I've always dreamed of, but...
But I guess I'm just worthless.
You're not worthless at all!
Don't put yourself down like that!
I don't know a lot about plays,
But you have your songs, don't you?
Songs...
Your songs are amazing!
Why don't you sing anymore?
There are so many brilliant people in the world of acting...
I'm nowhere near them...
If I started doing something else, I'd never catch up!
But...
Thank you, for cheering me up.
Listen, there's this place I wanna go with you.
Ohhh wow!
They're all so cool!
That's unexpected.
I never would've guessed you'd be into guitars.
They say plants grow better if you play them some music.
I got an instrument from Palmier Kingdom, and I play a little for the roses of the Cure Rose Garden.
So when I saw the guitars of this world, I just had to give 'em a try!
I've been saving up from my job, too.
I see...
Oh! Sounds great!
Let's see... How do you play a guitar?
You're amazing, Syrup.
You take care of the roses, deliver letters, and play the guitar too...
Well you know, you're the reason I'm so into music now.
Huh?

Let's create a brand new song together!
"Even when my wings have broken..."
"And I cannot fly anymore..."
Hmm...
Ahh!! Playing guitar is hard!
I'll ask if anyone knows someone who can play.
Do you know anyone who can play guitar?
Karen: Guitar? I know someone.
Woah!
Jiiya-san, you're amazing!
Oh, no. It's just a little something from my past.
You think I can learn how to play like that, too?
Depending on how hard you practice.
Let's do this!
"Filled with these dreams..."
That was good, don't you think?
Yeah. Let's go with this.
Our new song is complete!
— Bravo.
Hearing it just brightens up your mood. Don't you think, Night?
Yes.
It is a wonderful song that makes your heart jump for joy, Light.
We want to play your song.

Nozomi.
Hm?
Sorry for not getting in touch with you sooner. Even though you sent all those letters.
You see, I...
Huh!?
Coco?
Something's there!
What're those things?
Are those the "Shadows"?
This way!
Urara?
Nozomi-san!
Shadows showed up in the park!
I'll be right there!
Uwahh!!
You jerks!
No!
Nozomi-san and the others said nobody can touch those Shadows!
It's impossible for us!
So what, ignore it? Just because it's impossible?
I learned from you girls.
Keep trying your hardest, and you'll always find a way.
Your dreams will come true!
If I can't stand by and ignore it, then I've got no choice, impossible or not!

New song?
T-takigawa-san! G-good morning!
Everybody's talking about it online. You wrote that during your break?
Yes! I really love singing, but...
I thought I might get scolded for doing it while I have acting practice to do.
Singing is your forte.
Huh?
When you sing, it's like you're bursting with joy.
I chose you because I wanted to see that joy in action, on my stage.
Huh? That was the reason why?
But I thought I might have to step down this time...
You were planning on quitting?
Of course not!
No matter how harsh the criticism is, I'll take it all, and keep on going!
Practice is starting.
U-uhm! What do you think about an angel who loves to eat, instead?
Angela's wings are broken, so while she has to live down on the surface,
She'll need to get along with everyone down there, right?
As she takes her meals with other people,
She realizes that the food she has together with everyone else is so delicious,
That she turns into a total gourmand!
Hmm...
Looks like it was a good idea to give you a break.
Give it a try.
Yes!
The Shadows only appear in this town.
The dark angel Bell... What is she trying to do here?
What could her objective possibly be...?

Komachi-san, you researching something?
Yes. I'm thinking those Shadows might have some sort of connection to this town.
This might not be the first time these Shadow incidents have happened.
Eh? You serious? Why though?
If we chart out every single Shadow incident, they only appear in this town, and only within this vicinity.
