Ayumi's Fire was the rhythm of fire, the fire dance...  She had forced her body to practice until it remembered the rhythm of fire. She said to Mr. Hamill, the photographer who admired her (but she didn't please with his appearance there), that she wanted  to be the fire, because only the fire knew the feeling of it. (She still remembered Maya who tried to be the wind).

Whereas Maya who incidentally remembered Masumi in her practice, tried to perform Oshichi Yaoya well. Mrs. Tsukikage was quite surprised, because it was what Ichiren Ozaki ordered her to do to study The Fire. The Fire on Oshichi (Maya)'s heart was burned. It burned out herself. Mrs. Tsukikage said that Ayumi performed the Soul of Fire, whereas Maya the Feeling. Both were succeeded. But she asked Maya, if she had found her true love, to reperform it. There's no love desire in Maya's eyes yet.

Mrs. Tsukikage asked Maya how she could perform Oshichi Yaoya. She wondered, if Eisuke knew, that she hid her blind love to Ichiren behind Oshichi's love.

 

Yuu Sakurakouji stayed with Mr. Kaikei family, until he finally understood him. As the chief of the town hall, he was so kind taking care and gave precious advise to a young girl who found out she was only adopted, a couple who almost divorced but  after meeting him was happy with their baby, etc. He would wait until the image of Buddha appeared in the wood and the voice in his heart was stronger, then he's ready to sculpt. Finally Yuu Sakurakouji found Isshin in him.

 

Eisuke Hayami got an accident. He was missing whereas his car fell to the ravine. Though Masumi who was shocked had ordered rescue team with helicopter,  he couldn't be found. It brought Masumi to the village of red cherry blossom and when he stopped to watch the stars on a hill, he found Maya. MK: (This is more beautiful than in planetarium. I hope I could show the sky here to  Mr. Masumi... oops, ugh, why him?  What's the matter with me?) MK: Oh... meteor.... too late, people said, if we say a wish before it disappears, the wish will come true....

MH: Then what's your wish?

 

MK: Mr. Masumi... why you're here? MH: Hello, little one. Sorry to disturb you watching the sky. May I sit on the VIP seat beside you? I don't expect meeting you here. MK: (Mr. Masumi... the purple rose fan....) MH: Thousands of stars. I don't expect seeing them together with you. I almost forget there's a sky as beautiful as this. Do you remember, we wish to see the thousand of stars at the home of The Crimson Fairy? MK: Yes.... MH: Our wish comes true. Then Masumi told Maya about his mission there, to find the 'old general' missing. When Maya sneezed, he gave his jacket to her, then they talked about the name of the stars. MK: (So weird... how could I talk comfortably? He's 11 years older than me. He's the one I hate. How could I feel happy talking with him?) You know all about stars. It's weird talking about it to a successful Daito's director. MH: I often go to the planetarium. It's the first time for me talking about the stars to somebody else. I thought I would never see the stars again. It's weird to sit comfortably together with you. Even my work and my father don't worry me anymore.  MK: (Mr. Masumi.....) MH: Let's go home. It's late. You should be accompanied. MK: And you? MH: I stay here. MK: Then I want to stay here. I am the one who's first. Don't drive me away. MH: Up to you! Stubborn! MK: It's up to me, teaser!

 

MK: So beautiful are the stars. Watching them like this, we know they move slowly. It seems like flying at the sky.... MH: True. Are you afraid of me? MK: Yes. MH: Then why do you stay beside me? MK: I am used to you. MH: Hmm.... MK: What's funny? MH: Nope. Myself. I lose from you. I lie here on the grass with a girl, fascinately talking about stars, who would believe.... MK: Nobody. Then Maya told him about her practice.

MH: Be diligent. So many people put hope on you to be The Crimson Fairy. MK: Yes, Mr. Masumi, also for the purple rose fan. If... if I could be The Crimson Fairy, I hope the purple rose fan could be the first to watch me. He's my first admiror since my first performance, he always gives me support with his purple roses, he always takes care of me. He's a very important person to me. I indeed don't know who he is or why he does it, but I still want to be The Crimson Fairy for him, until finally he will come and give his name to me. I'll be waiting... Mr. Masumi.

MH: How happy he should be.  You think so far of him. Meteor....

 

MH: What's your wish? MK: I am always late. When I think of it,  the meteor had gone. And yours? MH: My wish would never ever come true. Let's go home. I'll accompany you. Don't make people at home worry. Maya almost fell. MH: Give me your hand... if...  you want to be held. MK: (Mr. Masumi... his hand is so warm. Mr. Masumi... why are you my purple rose fan? Why do you hide it? What's your reason, my Santa Claus? I just know how warm his hand is. Aah... if the starry night would always above us....)

MH: Good night, little one. Someday I will see your Crimson Fairy here. See you, little one.

MK: (Mr. Masumi... I am not 'little one' any longer. The purple rose fan... why is he you?)

	Masumi felt worry about Maya.  It was raining so hard and  she used to be careless  when she was so serious in practising.  Genzo said she went to the valley  of red cherry blossom. Masumi went to look for her. He was astonished with the valley. Even the rain looked red. Then he found Maya  on a red cherry blossom tree. MK: Mr. Masumi... why are you here?
MH: I heard you're here, so I come.  Fortunately I come, you always meet danger. Your face and body are so cold.  Your hands are also cold. You could be sick, if you stay here!

 

They looked for a dry place and found an unused ancient temple. MH: We can't go anywhere. Are you cold? MK: Yes, Mr. Masumi. (Mr. Masumi... he protects me from rain. He hugs me so I don't feel cold. He protects me... the purple rose fan. So warm...). They entered a place which looked like an office. MH: The wood is wet... ugh... so much smoke. Thank God I can make the fire. If your clothes are wet, you can't feel warm. I'll go outside, dry your clothes. Use my jacket, if you feel ashame. MK: (Mr. Masumi.... Just for me, in a rainy day like this, he comes.... He is never changed, always a secret admirer behind the shadow of the purple rose fan.... Maybe actually you're the one who always kind to me compare with other people... though I hated you....) MH: Cold? MK: No. MH: Hmm.... MK: (Why... why hadn't I realize this before? His words, his deeds... all for me.... his kindness are all for me.... Finally I know... I... I love you, Mr. Masumi.... I love you....) MH: The rain is so hard.... No sign that it's going to stop....
