MK: (Finally I know... Mr. Masumi, I love you.... I love you... purple rose fan.... MH: It seems that it will rain all night long. It's even heavier. What's the matter? Are you sick?  MK: No... nothing's wrong. I only want to cry. MH: Huh? Crying without reason? Girls do like that, ne? MK: Aaa... you won't understand woman's feeling. MH: Of course! If I do, I won't be called The Cold and Unfeeling Person. It's a pity you must stay the night here with The Cold. Well... better than lost. MK: Yes..... Mr. Masumi...... MH: You're very quiet tonight. Usually you always quarrel and hate seeing me. Um.... how weird.... But, no problem. So I won't get bored being together with you.  MK: (Yeah... you always hide what's really in your heart.... And what makes him like that... I... I... I am sorry, Mr. Masumi....) MH: So quiet, though outside the rain is so hard. Are you cold? MK: No.... MH: How about your practice? MK: The practice now is to be the water. MH: Water? How will be your act? MK: I want to be the Dragon God. I heard he was the Water God. MH: Wow.... fascinating. MK: How about your father? Has he been found already? MH: If he has been found, I'm no longer here.  MK: Ooops... you're right.... sorry. MH: You worry about me? What a surprise. Hahaha.... I don't get along well with Dad. But... when he is missing like this... I begin to feel alone. Though we are not real father & son. Never I think him as my father.... Why me.... talk to you like this..... MK: Never mind. Please continue, Mr. Masumi, please continue. Then they talked about the old shrine and the history legend of The Crimson Fairy. MH: So we're in the holy area of The Crimson Fairy. I am eager to see your Crimson Fairy. MK: (Mr. Masumi....) I will be The Crimson Fairy who will make you proud, Mr. Masumi.... MH: Wow... I am very surprise hearing your words. Don't you hate me? Are you kidding? MK: I... I always think that you're the one who hate me. You are a cold man and you do anything for your work... that's what I think... so I ... so.... MH: Why do you change? MK: Because.... MH: I am suited hated by you. Don't push otherwise too hard. But I am glad right now.... Before I always think that you hate me.... MK: (Mr. Masumi...)  MH: Never I hate you. I love to see you on stage. Well... when was the first time you're on stage? Oh yes, Beth in "Little Women". You're so pretty. I never thought that you got 40 degree Celcius' fever. When I heard that you're gone in rain all night only to act well as the dying Beth... my heart   wondered, where did you hide actually, your strong will inside your little body... so I.... (Ouch!) Then your next act as Midori in "Growing Up", a very different act compare with Beth. You changed into a naughty Midori. I was so amazed.... You could express how sad and lonely Midori felt when she threw the tie of her {traditional} shoes to Shinyo. A lonely feeling of a girl who could do nothing about that... the first time I felt.... Then "Gina's Five Blue Pots"... when I saw you standing on the stage without any of other players, my chest felt so heavy.... And when you was Cathy in "Wuthering Heights"... your falling in love act made me jealous of your act-mate. If I wasn't mistaken, your boyfriend couldn't stand watching it and went home in the middle of the show. I ordered him to stay if he really really loved you.  MK: (Yuu Sakurakouji....) And... yourself?.... MH: I watched until the end.... Your Helen in "Miracle Worker" was incredible. I never found it boring though I watched several times. I made a mistake in "Shangri-La"... and in "The Yasha-hime Story" I made it difficult for you... It's still pictured in my eyes how your Toki ate the mud cake on the stage. I am sure you won't forgive me, but I do always want to apologize. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as Puck or Aldis in "Two Princesses", also Jean in "The Forgotten Wilderness", I like them all.... When you played solo at school, I was eager to watch.... MK: (Mr. Masumi... purple rose fan... please say one word... say that you're the purple rose fan... then I will directly hug you... say it... please....) MH: If I could see your Crimson Fairy... how.... [the lightning] (Ouch!) The rain is so heavy! Sure Mrs. Tsukikage is worrying you now. MK: Also you. Sure your staff are. MH: Hahaha.... I am the same with my dad. Outside work, nobody care about us. No... Shiori... only she cares about me. MK: (The granddaughter of President of Takamiya Group... the beautiful woman... So stupid of me thinking of nonsense... Mr. Masumi has Shiori.... The one who Mr. Masumi loves is me on the stage. He only cares about me as an actress. Yeah... that's it! Shouldn't I know it? How could Mr. Masumi have interest in a girl 11 years younger, short, not beautiful and can do nothing.... Yeah...! Shouldn't I know it....) MH: The fire wood is all burned, the fire is out, it will be cold again. Wait here, I shall look for wood around here. MK: No, Mr. Masumi! The rain is so heavy outside. I am fine! Soon it will be morning, I can stand it. MH: No way, you are a precious goods, you are not allowed to be sick.... MK: (Goods....) Because I am goods, you worry about me, Mr. Masumi, looking for me in the middle of hard rain, lending me clothes... and taking care of me like this.... MH: Indeed... what kind of reason do you want, little one? You're future golden egg. A person who has value more than anyone else. Don't be ashamed.... MK: Wait a minute! If so... I won't be ashamed.... Don't go... Don't leave me alone... If you go, I will follow.... MH: Little one... Do you worry about me? [a moment of silence] Up to you! You will be frozen.... MH: Do you want to sit beside me? If you don't mind... by sitting close together you will be warmer... but yeah, if you prefer to be frozen there... I won't push you.... MK: No... No, Mr. Masumi.... Please make me feel warm... My feet and hands are so cold... my back is felt like tortured by torns, so... hug me... like in the middle of rain just before.... I am a golden egg, ne? Permit me to talk honestly, Mr. Masumi.... MH: Are you serious...? Okay... come here.... MK: (Mr. Masumi....) MH: I am a man. I may be rude.

 

MK: (Mr. Masumi... the purple rose fan... give me all this moment's time to me.... If morning comes, all will only be a dream.... I will be turned back to yesterday... so, let all these time for me... let me dream until morning comes.... I don't care you think of me as goods... but, give me this moment....)

MH: (Hmm....) Go to sleep, little one... before I begin to do weird things.... Both of us are quite weird this night. When we wake up, all will only dream. Come on, go to sleep.... (A long but short night.... I feel I shall have a sad dream....) * MH: (It's morning.... When you wake up, sure you will fly away from my hand, just like those birds.... Maybe I can only protect you... while you spread your wings, then fly far away to the sky... maybe I am the one who will be most happy seeing you.... Grow up fast, little one... though after that you will fly far away from  my side. Our dream has ended....)

 

MH: Incredible... it seems the air is full of red color.... MK: Yes... this valley is so beautiful.... MH: It seems weird being together with you in this valley.... If we could be like this forever, how happy we shall be... forgetting everything.... MK: Yes. (Yes, Mr. Masumi....)	MK: ("The valley of The Crimson Fairy"  A valley full of red cherry blossom forever, which trees are from the soul of Earth God, "The Crimson Fairy".... Holy flowers  which only exist in this valley.... If my desire is ruined here, my wings will be broken... as the flowers which can only bloom
	here.... Red cherry blossom...  is the symbol of my heart....) Thank you for accompanying me,  Mr. Masumi... this is the expression of my feeling. I'm sorry for making trouble last night. I... will never forget it forever. I will practice as good as I can. Thank you, all this time you... you... sayonara... thanks a lot.... MH: Hey, wait.... (The feeling of her heart? What's the meaning of it? I always don't understand her....) (Hmm... the scent of that child... is on my clothes... Maya) Ouch! What's the matter! (I can't forget the warm of her body... the hands that circle my waist, her face buried deep on my chest, her
hands I held tightly, the scent of her neck and her hair... the warm of her body.... Maya.... why I could be like this? Why it could be like this?) * [Masumi was back]. MH: (These cherry blossom fall.... So, the story is true. The cherry blossom which can only bloom in that valley will fall when they're brought out from there. All that happened in the valley yesterday is a dream, just like these flowers...	and dream will be disappeared  along with time....) [Maya's words] (The symbol of my heart....) (It's impossible.... Maya.... The love of The Crimson Fairy.... That child...? Loves me...? Me who she hates most...? Impossible... I am imagining things.... She is 11 years younger, how could I think that matter as serious as this? Why do I think so serious about her moment feeling? As serious as this....)

 

Some reporters came from Tokyo.  Mrs. Tsukikage accepted them, but warned them not to disturb or photograph Maya & Ayumi. Then it's time to act The Water. Ayumi chose to be the first. She took off her shirt. She became The Little Mermaid (of H.C. Andersen). She suffered so much to be a human, to have two legs... until finally she could overcome her pain and stood on both of her legs. Maya praised Ayumi's act.

Maya disappeared behind the curtain of the waterfall. Then with her voice and act, she performed The Angry Dragon God. "He" ordered the water to make flood, since human didn't appreciate water well. Maya said, that it's just a coincidence that she decided to go out from behind the curtain of the waterfall. Ayumi felt so jealous. She began to hate Maya very much.

 

Mrs.Tsukikage talked with Genzo. She praised Ayumi's almost perfect act and movement expression, and also her beauty. It seemed that Ayumi was born to be a star. Then Maya was a genius in attracting the audience's interest and she always left  a strong image, even after the show had ended.

 

Meanwhile, Eisuke Hayami who had been brought home by a deaf forest guard gave him his golden watch in hope that somebody would recognize it and helped him. And the person who came is Tsukikage Chigusa!

 

Masumi said, that Shiori was the only one who really worry about his father. Whereas other people like his relatives, Shiori's father & grandfather and himself, sure were thinking  about the heritage Eisuke would leave. He said also, that without Eisuke, he was only  a common man, not suited to be  Takamiya's son-inlaw. But crying, Shiori said, that she didn't care of what her father or grandfather thought.  Whatever happened, she would stay beside him.

Ayumi's act as The Soil performed a strong movement in form of a dance using rope. The rope could be like a snake. But then it performed an earthenware pot. She used it to take water, to drink, to carry something until it's finally broken. Then Ayumi told the reporters about the theories behind, from the rope showing great Earth energy, the snake as Water & Soil God, the dance to praise the God, the energy turned shape to be a pot to carry water, important element of human life, until finally it became soil again. Death people & animal and damaged things were back to soil.

Maya performed a seed growing up. The feeling of the seed, whereas its mother was the Soil. It kept in hope of seeing the warm sun, the blue sky, the white clouds, the wind and the rain, meeting friends and bugs, though it knew the suffer it must face told by aunt pea, uncle mole, etc. Ayumi felt jealous, because she had tried so hard with all the theories to perform The Soil, while Maya easily could understand the feeling of the seed.

Then Mrs. Tsukikage showed them The Crimson Fairy's kimono and mask, which had been used on stage. She asked Maya and Ayumi to understand The Crimson Fairy. And she gave them The Crimson Fairy's dialogues. Then Mr. Hamill asked her about the result. She told him, that the important thing was to realize what nature was. And to understand who was The Crimson Fairy.
