Still, I wonder why Wanatuki hates Doumeki so much. All he does is talking to Himawari, and so does he. But, is that the only reason to hate somebody? To be the opposing of the other? I don’t think so. I think something happened in the past that really made Wanatuki hate him. And this episode, Doumeki saves him. The hate only comes from Wanatuki.
A very weird girl comes to Wanatuki, and slaps him on the head with an umbrella, because it was raining all day. The girl is a Rain Spirit, and she is just too weird and arrogant. Doumeki and Wanatuki are set up for a mission, with those big flowers, and Wanatuki is being captured by those thingeythings. Inside it’s complete dark, I loved the white shadows, though. There’s a girl down there, who is terribly upset because she wanted to go somewhere but was too afraid. Wanatuki comforts her and was really sweet to her, and the girl decides that Wanatuki should come along with her. As long as they go, a smell appears that only Wanatuki can smell, and the Flower herself warns Wanatuki to not go there. Wanatuki has still his doubts, but the girl insist on going there. At the end Wanatuki sees the ribbon that he and Doumeki got from Himawari, and they are saved. By who? Doumeki, who had stand for 10 whole hours in the rain, with a bad left arm. You can imagine that Doumeki was pretty pissed off.
Yuuko tells him later what the smell was that Wanatuki smelled. It was a netherworld, of people who commited suicide. If Doumeki hadn’t saved him, it would have costed the life of Wanatuki. Kind of weird, to be saved by somebody you hate. But why hate him?
