The thing that saddens me the most is that when she finally decided to live on, it's not happening because she doesn't want to disturb her mistress's sleep... ;_;
From now on, your name is ...I can't call someone "Miss"ha haI don't understand.So that's what happened ...It's always the same answer to that question.is the "hesitant moon".
izayoi, lit. 16th night, a homonym for "hesitant", describing how the moon seems to hesitate on the horizon before risingI think it's quite nice.I think sipping tea like this while watching the moonY-yes!run through its phases is nice too.What's the matter?That's right ...I don't wanna drink blood from a kid like this.A child that age? No.What're we going to do with her?I've always just been called by a number, so ...Yeees ...Fine, just this once,Yes!I'll show you how. Come with me.M'lady taught me ...How to make tea.Oh no!There's an intruder in the manor!Please, watch out! She uses knives and ...You're late.Oh, huh!♪You can just call me "Miss Meiling".if they're weaker than me.A win is a win.I'll just call you China or something.Chinaaaaaaaa?There's no way I'd have lost to a brat like you if you'd fought me fair and square!Then you have no complaints about trying one more time?I'd like to see you try!One "Sakuya's World" later ...I gained a family.I was so happy.
I didn't want anything else.
That's why I thought, well, if I'm going to die like this, maybe that's all right.But, if that's not what the people I love want ...Who am I to refuse them?M'lady?She fell asleep.I'll tell her when she wakes up.
We'll always be together.When I get better, I'll make rose hip tea with lots of honey in it.I'll make cakes for tea-time snacks, and there's a lot of cleaning I'll have to make up for.And then ..."The Kind Vampire at the Scarlet Devil Manor"Huh?but she gradually grew weaker.Ah ...M'lady,Why not use her as a servant, or something?You could have her clean up and make tea and such.Are you awake?Or will you die, here and now?and tried a number of different spells,Tonight isHmm.It's just a cold that's gotten a little out of hand.It'll get betterif I just sleep it off.I'm sick of hearing that.You humans are so weak.Sakuya,You're dying, right?Perhaps.She just laughs softly like that.Mmmmm.Just use her as a test subject, Pache.And if she ever gets to be a pain,... Why do I have to decide what to do with her?Alright.I'll only say this once, so you'd better listen carefully.I guess she's set on Izayoi.Why won't you let me drink your blood?ha haShe's still just a kid.No ...I'll ... be ... a servant ...What's your name?Hmmm."Izayoi".It's just straight from our conversation before ...What?That'd be easy to say.Okay, Izayoi, it's time for work.Please go put on some tea.... don't tell me you don't know how?How entertaining.Please, drink my blood.I'll always be by your side.It has a bad aftertaste.I think it would be awfully convenient.You could just suck her blood.So, I'll give you a choice.Very well.Umm ...I ... don't have a name.No?Well,I'll give you a name, then.... well, it's okay, I guess.It doesn't seem like it would make a great name.You should make it three characters, or something.Izayoi ...Y-yes!They're too noisy.... I'm sorry, you win.Nice to mee- ...... what's your name?Ah.After that, m'lady told me, "If Meiling ever slacks off, just stab her."
That was my second duty for the mansion.That's right ...That day,I'm Izayoi Sakuya.She looked through every single one of her booksWill you live out the rest of your life as a servant here at the Scarlet Devil Manor,I'll think of a given name for you later.Another hunter?It's not like I couldn't have taken her blood by force to make her part of my bloodline,But for some reason, I didn't want to.Tonight'sthe full moon, isn't it?Remi, did you know?In this country,they have names to describe the waxing and waning of the moon.The half moon is the "archer's moon",
lit. "upward bow moon", but that sounds awkwardAnd a full moon like tonight'sAnd continuing on through to the late-night moon and the morning moon,There are fifteen names for the moon in all.gkhOne of them missed --And I'd finally gotten a chance to sip tea while watching the moon ...That door guard really is useless.was asleep standing upWell.Well, isn't watching the moon and drinking blood a hobby of yours, too?Huh?One by one, they've gone through the trouble to name them all.Didn't you say it has a bad aftertaste?Oh?It starts at the "new moon" where you can't even see it,UWARABA—!
reference to Hokuto no KenThen you'll need to cut your hair.
It's important to keep up appearances.*slurp*Neither Patchy or I really want to kill a kid like you.hahahaAh—Ah.So you think that win counts when you just got a surprise attack in!?That'd be too much trouble.Don't you know how to treat your betters, you littleOh well. Patchy, healing magic?Fine. Then, we'll make Izayoi your last name.Oh, shut up. Why don't you come up with a name, then?the full moon.
Poignantly, the Japanese name for the full moon is "Izayoi", i.e. Sakuya's namesnzzzz
