Le Peuple des Fées et les Retrouvailles

En arrivant chez les Yosei, les amies des Aïnous, les filles eurent la surprise de découvrir Hana en pleine forme et heureuse parmi les fées. Dès qu'elle aperçut son amie Petite Alex, Hana se précipita dans ses bras. Les Yosei, bienveillantes, reçurent Hyun-ah et Petite Alex comme des hôtes de marque, les félicitant pour leur courage et leur obstination. Après avoir été mises au courant des mésaventures de la petite fille, elles acceptèrent de la laisser repartir auprès de sa mère.

“Have you hear this rumor? Yōsei-san”

-Sakura Nanamine

Today I rematched the first episode with subtitles and I notice something interesting. In the last scene, Sakura says this phrase (I think she’s referring to Tsukasa), which she never said in the manga. I immediately got curious about it and did some researches. This is what I found out:

“Yōsei (妖精, lit. "bewitching spirit") is a Japanese word that is generally synonymous with the English term fairy. Today, this word usually refers to spirits from Western legends, but occasionally it may also denote a creature from native Japanese folklore.”

There are different kinds of yōsei but the most interesting and significant I found was this:

“In the Iwate Prefecture, it was once feared that the yōsei could bring the dead back to life.”

I immediately thought about Tsukasa bringing back to life Mitsuba or the same thing with Hanako and Nene (if she will ever die).

I leave the theories to you guys. Thank for reading this ^^
