Oh yeah, somewhere around here and the next episodes, Watanuki and Himawari pinky-swear. What does this mean for Watanuki? You’ll find soon enough.

In the next episode, Watanuki must be Yuuko’s slave as usual. Teehee. Anyhow, they’re going to meet a certain someone in a world that can only be reached by passing behind a lanternpole, which is a pretty narrow place to get through. There they meet the Dream Merchant, a small elephant-like creature that sales balloons that he took care of. In the end Watanuki ends up with some balloons and Yuuko tells him that he should keep a balloon next to his bed when he goes to sleep. There he meets up with a man that exactly looks like Doumeki, and it’s Doumeki. Well, it’s his grandfather, Doumeki Haruka, as Doumeki is actually called Shizuka. They converse with each other and then Watanuki suddenly wakes up again. This starts the whole dreaming chapters, but as the anime doesn’t feature them yet, most likely is it that the upcoming OVA will do, I’ll leave it at that. Anyhow, Watanuki meets more often with Haruka in his dreams after this event.

Ah, we finally get to see Kohane-chan, after a lot of cameo appearances and hearing about her in talks between Himawari and Watanuki. Watanuki and Kohane-chan meet under a sakura tree. She seems to be spacing out, but Watanuki starts talking with her and it seems that they have something in common. They both can see things that regular people can’t see and the manner in which their names are written are the same. After their meeting they get friends and this starts the Kohane-chapters. Kohane-chan is a very well-known medium on the television, but she got a very overstressed mother who won’t even touch her! Anyhow, after this is the Mahjong episode. I saw a lot of negative reactions on this episode as they find it very boring, but it did have funny parts. Mokona is the Mahjong master, pyuu~! I forgot where this episode was about, so I’ll leave it at this. Then there’s the episode where Watanuki meets up with the catgirl from the first episode. She has an wish and she pays Yuuko with an egg. Catgirl requests that a lot of water gets drained from a certain well and that’s where Watanuki comes in handy. So it starts that Watanuki has to sneak into someone’s garden and starts draining water from in. He notices that there’s a woman in front of a open window on the first floor. He thinks it’s creepy, but he continues. Later on he gets help with draining the water, Doumeki. He helps him, but then the cloth in which the huge waterbowls are wrapped up in, blows into the house, where the woman is seated. She’s still sitting there, with the same position and clothes on. They decide to get into the house and they even enter the room where the woman is. It’s a corpse. And that’s not the only corpse, there was also a kitten corpse in the well. They return to Yuuko with the water and the catgirl ends the episode saying: ”What’s wrong with his pinky?” I’m skipping the next episode, about the ”girl” who’s afraid of her house. Back to Kohane-chan. A lot of people think that she’s actually a faker and she gets a lot of threats, very saddening. Even her whole house on the outside is screwed up with text like ”Faker” and ”Drop dead”, etcetera. Watanuki pays her a visit with Doumeki, but then her evil mom comes in and yells at Watanuki like he’s some kind of unwanted person. She even throws hot water in Watanuki’s face and Watanuki is even spacing out in this moment. Spacing out comes with the dream-chapters. Anyhow, Kohane-chan’s mother is still as freaking as ever, so Watanuki even decides to take her to Yuuko’s shop. There she has a lot of fun with Maru and Moro and Mokona, but she says that she wants to get back to her mother. She wants her to be happy. In the end, Kohane-chan and her mother are getting along, as shown that her mother even touches her and smiles. In the manga, Kohane-chan stays with the old fortune-teller from the first season.

Eep. With ”Hitori”, we return to ”Himawari isn’t your goddess of luck”-chapters. Watanuki little finger starts hurting again and the next day, when Himawari touches him, he falls down from a couple of floors, ending up in a lot of blood and scars, nearly dead. He meets with his parents while asleep and almost falling to despair and wanting to go to the light, he meets up with Doumeki Haruka, who says that he should return. He wakes up in Yuuko’s shop and Himawari comes to him. She starts saying the things that she’s born with a lot of misfortune and even now has a trauma of that. Watanuki eventually confesses her love for her. She thinks they shouldn’t meet again and says ”Sayonara”, but Watanuki stops her and still wants to be friends with her, just as usual. When Himawari leaves the room saying ”Ja ne”, she finds Doumeki sitting on the ground next to the door, saying that he should keep it for himself for everything that he heard, as Himawari promised that it should only be a secret between Watanuki and Himawari. Doumeki in Yuuko’s shop? Doumeki is even covered in blood. Why isn’t clear, but when Himawari leaves the shop, she starts crying. It’s made clear that Doumeki had to take up all of Watanuki’s lost blood from the accident and that’s why he’s bleeding and Himawari… She has to take up all the scars that Watanuki got from that incident. With the price paid by the two of them, Watanuki’s life is saved. Yuuko drops the egg with him that she got from the catgirl and she says that he should keep it with him. A voice talks with Watanuki and when he wakes up, a cute little bird comes out of the egg, exactly as Watanuki wanted it to be. Behold, Tanpopo. This bird is a thing that can come near to Himawari and who isn’t affected by her misfortune, which makes Himawari a lot happier. All of this just proves what good of friends they are.

In the last episode of this season, Watanuki must be a slave for Yuuko again. She even wants him to carry a refridgerator to her shop. While exploring the store, Watanuki notices something. A pig-like stuffed animal is stuck in a corner. Watanuki, stupid as he is, pulls the stuffed animal out while getting shocked. Yes, electrical shocked! Gehe. It’s Raiden, god of the thunder. Whenever Watanuki is blurting some mean words are even trying to, Raiden zaps him. I like Raiden. Anyhow, a hand shows up in front of Watanuki when outside. Yes, just a hand, floating. It’s the cute little Kitsune, the one from the arrow. He explains that he isn’t strong enough to have a full body. He gives Watanuki udon, which I also would like to try, and Watanuki goes to Yuuko’s store with the udon. She decides that she wants to pay the Kitsune udon bar a visit and when they arrive, a lot of creatures are gathered, from the whole series and also cross-overs. Watanuki gives the little Kitsune a pair of mittens. The udon party ends this series.
