Yuu Sakurakouji helped Maya to realize,
that she must be in the train soon
or be left behind.
Ayumi who was story-told by his mother
about The Crimson Fairy, said that it was
like a dream to be there right now.
Maya also said the same thing.
Finally they arrived to Ichiren Ozaki's village.
Only Genzo welcomed them.
Ichiren Ozaki wrote The Crimson Fairy
from a folklore... a long time ago
there was a beatiful fairy lived in a valley
she's the queen of the spirit world
she gave energy to the soil to grow plants
she was named The Soil Goddess
in that valley the cherry blossom never
stopped blooming
whereas nobody could come inside
they would be killed by the spirit guards

the fairy turned herself to be a red cherry-
blossom tree for a thousand year
in the time of the civil war, a sculptor came
he was inspired and ordered to look for that specific tree and made a statue of Buddha
from it to stop the war

In the morning... there's nobody...
feeling curious, Maya walked to the valley...
The Crimson Fairy was there
She performed a beautiful act
It looked like the wind was blowing softly
but actually there's no wind
And it looked unlike human....
Mrs. Tsukikage Chigusa welcomed
Maya, Ayumi and the chief of National
Act Association
to the home of
The Crimson Fairy

Ayumi admired her teacher's beautiful act,
while Maya admired the beauty of the cherry
blossom tree. Ayumi felt jealous, why could
Maya feel so happy as if she was playing doll.
Then immediately Mrs. Tsukikage ordered
Maya and Ayumi to be the spirit of the tree.
They took their own position.
Mrs. Tsukikage let the time running....
Ayumi felt uncomfortable,
while Maya looked more to be a tree.
But the chief of NAA said, Ayumi's position
would take the audience's interest more
and it's no need to stay that long on the stage.
Then Mrs. Tsukikage said that within 1 month,
they must learn 4 elements:
Wind, Fire, Soil & Water.
They're ordered to act as the Wind.

In his villa, Masumi thought about Maya
who had been growing up.
Masumi: (Soon she will fall in love and
own by a man. Could I stay calm watching it? Could I still send the purple roses with sincere? No.... I won't give her to anybody!
If that happened, I could become crazy!)
Then Shiori came. Crying... she said,
that she really really loved him.

Ayumi tried her best
to act as The Wind.
It's almost the wind was blowing softly
behind her neck... though there's no wind at all

Ayumi said that how little the movement was,
it's the form of wind.
Mrs. Tsukikage praised, that her act was a result of a deep thinking.

Maya tried to be The Wind.
But Mrs. Tsukikage criticized her.
She must act for the audience.
Ayumi thought, that even she didn't think
so seriously like that, to be the wind.
It scared her.

Then they're ordered to act as The Fire.

Yuu Sakurakouji made a tour to 34 Buddhist temples, but still he was not satisfied.
He couldn't get any clue, a statue like what, Isshin made.
Incidentally, when he took a rest, a poet told him about Mr. Kaikei....

Maya found Mr. Hijiri in the hospital. Thinking about the purple rose fan,
she couldn't decide if Masumi was a friend or an enemy....

Maya met Eisuke Hayami. They took lunch
together. But when Eisuke said about playing in Daito Theatre... Maya suddenly became angry.
EH: Do you hate it?
MK: Yeah... er... No....
EH: Well, I heard the director is
a hard-hearted person.
MK: Yes, the teaser Masumi Hayami!

MK: I hate him! I want to see his father!
EH: Wahahahaha....
EH: He's too much, ne, the Masumi Hayami?
MK: Ugh, just seeing his face, I am going to
run. I prefer seeing a cockroach than him.
At least a cockroach doesn't despise us.
But people said, his father is waaay much worse.
(Eisuke Hayami's glass fell
for the second time).
Changing the subject to act, Eisuke advised Maya to think about a classic story:
Oshichi Yaoya who was a daughter of
a vegetable man. When there's fire in Edo
(old name of Tokyo), she saved herself to
the Buddhist temple and met Kichiza there.
She was so long to him, she put Edo in fire,
even she knew she would be sentenced to death.
Her heart was burned - she was burned
to death by the fire itself.

Eisuke seemed to be happy.
EH: Interesting girl. To her, Masumi is a cockroach. He's lost, he's not a match to her.
And me, she said, I am the father of a cockroach. Hahaha....

(Masumi hadn't answered Takamiya's marriage proposal). Then he heard that Shiori fell sick.
Even though Masumi said to Mizuki, the purple rose in his heart would never die and
he would take care of Maya forever, Masumi came to visit Shiori... with his answer....
