**[00:11] Mitsuru**
What would you like?
**[00:23] Fuki**
Otousan!
**[00:25] Fuki**
Has Itsuka come home yet?
**[00:27] Heigo**
Not yet.
**[00:28] Fuki**
I wonder if she's at the train station again?
**[00:52] Itsuka**
P-Papa!
**[00:56] Nagomu**
Wh—
**[00:58] Itsuka**
Who are you?
**[00:59] Nagomu**
That's what I'd like to ask.
**[01:01] Nagomu**
Huh? What?!
**[01:10] Nagomu**
I'm getting on! I'm getting on!
**[01:18] Itsuka**
*It wasn't him this time, either.*

**[03:22] Nagomu**
It's been ten years.
**[03:28] (Flashback) MC**
Thank you! Next, we have the heartthrob
band you've all been waiting for...
**[03:32] (Flashback) MC**
Chestnut Manju!
**[03:34] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Good evening!
**[03:39] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Man... I'm sure the audience
must've been really tired!
***SIGN*** Chestnut

**[03:43] (Flashback) Nagomu**
I mean, we were up after a
string of hard rock bands.
**[03:46] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Should we just go have a great time drinking?
**[03:48] (Flashback) Takumi**
Sorry, Nagomu.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Huh?
**[03:50] (Flashback) Takumi**
We're out.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Nagomu**
What was that? All of them together...
**[03:56] (Flashback) Nagomu**
The members have changed, but we've
been doing this for ten years, right?
**[04:00] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Should be no surprise this
has got me feeling gloomy...
**[04:06] (Flashback) delivery man**
Thanks.
**[04:09] (Flashback) Nagomu**
From my mom?
**[04:13] (Flashback) Nagomu**
This is...
**[04:14] (Flashback) Nagomu**
It's our, Ryokushou's, sakura manju!
**[04:19] (Flashback) Nagomu**
This color combination, aroma, mouthfeel...
**[04:22] (Flashback) Nagomu**
and the perfect level of sweetness!
**[04:24] (Flashback) Nagomu**
So yummy!
***SIGN*** Gloom
**[04:26] (Flashback) Nagomu**
All my gloomy feelings...
They've been exorcised!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Huh? A letter?
**[04:33] (Flashback) Nagomu**
What's with that?
**[04:35] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Usually, New Year's cards are
the only things we exchange.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Dad?!
***SIGN*** Traditional Confectionery
***SIGN*** Ryokushou
**[04:48] Saki**
Well, then, I'm going to go run deliveries!
**[04:56] Nagomu**
I'm home!
**[04:58] Nagomu**
It's... been... a while...
**[05:07] Heigo**
How dare you come in here
acting so pointlessly cheerful.
**[05:13] Nagomu**
Yo—
**[05:14] Heigo**
Yo?
**[05:15] Nagomu**
You're totally healthy!

**[05:21] Nagomu**
Grandpa, it's been a while. I came home.
**[05:25] Heigo**
Honestly.
**[05:27] ---**
You haven't been back since you ran out,
talking about what you wanted to do.
**[05:29] Heigo**
After all this time, what did
you come back for?
**[05:32] Nagomu**
To carry on this shop.
**[05:35] Heigo**
Some amateur who's wandered for ten years,
**[05:37] ---**
never even touching wagashi,
is saying what now?
**[05:39] Nagomu**
When I heard you'd been hospitalized,
it really hit me...
**[05:43] Nagomu**
I wondered who was gonna
take care of this shop.
**[05:45] Nagomu**
On my way here, I thought
about all kinds of illnesses...
**[05:49] Nagomu**
But I never imagined...
**[05:51] Nagomu**
that it would be hemorrhoids!
**[05:54] Fuki**
But, to think you'd be so worried
you'd come all the way home.
**[05:57] Fuki**
We're delighted, aren't we, Otousan?
**[06:00] Heigo**
I can't rely on you. I've already
got someone to inherit the shop.
**[06:03] Nagomu**
This manju is yummy!
**[06:05] Fuki**
Isn't it? We kneaded salt-preserved
sakura into the outer layer.
**[06:08] Heigo**
That's not what we're
talking about right now!
**[06:11] Heigo**
Listen to me!
**[06:13] Itsuka**
I'm back.
**[06:14] Fuki**
Oh, welcome home.
**[06:16] Itsuka**
Huh?
**[06:16] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[06:18] Itsuka**
Huh?!
**[06:18] Heigo**
Perfect timing. Come sit here.
**[06:27] Fuki**
What is it? Why are you
staring at her like that?
**[06:29] Nagomu**
Oh, sorry. That was rude of me.
**[06:31] Nagomu**
It's just... at the station, I
was mistaken for someone else.
**[06:33] Nagomu**
And I was thinking that she
looks a lot like that girl.
**[06:35] Fuki**
Mistaken for someone?
**[06:36] Nagomu**
That's right. She grabbed
my arm and said, "Papa!"
**[06:39] Itsuka**
Th-They say that everyone's got three
other people who look just like them!
**[06:43] Itsuka**
A-And so... who is this person?
**[06:46] Heigo**
Oh, this is my son, Nagomu.
**[06:49] Heigo**
I'm sorry to ask you,
but would you say hello?
**[06:52] Itsuka**
By "son"...
**[06:54] Itsuka**
You mean the person who
you've barely heard from
**[06:56] ---**
since he abandoned the shop and left?
**[06:58] Nagomu**
Oh, stop it, would you?
**[07:00] Nagomu**
You're embarrassing me!
**[07:02] Itsuka**
I am Yukihira Itsuka.
**[07:04] Itsuka**
I've been allowed to stay here
for free for about a year now.
**[07:08] Heigo**
Stop talking like we're strangers!
**[07:10] Heigo**
Everyone here thinks of
you as our girl, you know?
**[07:16] Heigo**
Nagomu, she's my successor.
**[07:19] Fuki**
He's just saying that without
thinking it through.
**[07:22] Heigo**
What's that?
**[07:23] Fuki**
She's still only ten years old!
**[07:25] Itsuka**
Ma'am, I am here with that intent.
**[07:28] Itsuka**
I'm not giving this place up to
someone so selfish he'd just run off.
**[07:31] Heigo**
Well said!
**[07:32] Heigo**
That's exactly what makes you a
successor I can put my trust in!
**[07:35] Itsuka**
May I go to work now?
**[07:37] Heigo**
Yes. We'll be counting on you again today!
**[07:51] Nagomu**
Work?
**[07:53] Fuki**
Yes. After school, she helps us in the shop.
**[07:57] Heigo**
At this point, she's the face of our shop.
**[08:03] Nagomu**
*She moves well, working tirelessly.*
**[08:06] Nagomu**
* I see. He wasn't lying when he*
* said she's the face of the shop.*
**[08:09] Itsuka**
I'm sorry.
**[08:11] Itsuka**
All of our seats are non-smoking.
**[08:13] man 1**
Huh? Come on. One smoke after
a meal's no big deal, right?
**[08:16] Itsuka**
It bothers the other customers.
**[08:19] man 2**
You sound pretty arrogant
for being just a kid.
**[08:21] man 2**
Just go away. It's not like
you'd understand anyway.
**[08:24] Itsuka**
And you don't seem to understand
in spite of your age.
**[08:27] man 1**
What?
**[08:28] Itsuka**
I may be a child, but I can call the police.
**[08:30] Ituska**
Shall I to go crying to them saying
you're obstructing our business?
**[08:37] Itsuka**
Thank you for your patronage.
**[08:41] Nagomu**
Are you okay?
**[08:42] Itsuka**
It's nothing.
**[08:43] Nagomu**
In situations like that, it might
be better to ask an adult for help.
**[08:47] Itsuka**
It's got nothing to do with you.
**[08:52] Fuki**
Did something happen?
**[08:57] Fuki**
I see.
**[08:59] Fuki**
She... You could say she isn't
used to asking for help.
**[09:04] Fuki**
She says she doesn't want to trouble us,
**[09:07] ---**
and tries to take care of everything herself.
**[09:09] Nagomu**
What about her parents?
**[09:11] Fuki**
Left her behind, alone, and went missing.
**[09:16] Fuki**
That day, it was snowing
heavily, which was unusual.
**[09:21] Fuki**
Her mother had left them long before,
**[09:23] Fuki**
and it was just her and her father,
who carried a guitar with him.
**[09:26] Fuki**
Through a series of connections,
they came to visit us here.

**[09:31] Fuki**
The next day...
***SIGN*** To the nice man and lady from Ryokushou,
***SIGN*** Please take care of this girl.
***SIGN*** Sorry, Itsuka
**[09:33] Fuki**
He left a letter with just a
few words on it and disappeared.
**[09:39] Fuki**
When I look at that girl behaving
so bravely, it makes me feel sad.
**[09:43] Fuki**
We said we'd look after her
until she feels satisfied.
**[09:47] Fuki**
Still, there's only so much we
can do in place of her parents.
**[09:51] Fuki**
We can't keep up with a child's world.
**[09:54] Nagomu**
I'd say she's more like
a grandkid anyway, right?
**[09:57] Fuki**
That's it!
**[09:58] Fuki**
If you're planning to stay here and train,
**[10:02] Fuki**
then won't you try to be
like a parent for her?
**[10:05] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[10:06] Fuki**
Since she doesn't feel the need to be
restrained around you, she might open up!
**[10:11] Nagomu**
Me? A parent?
**[10:14] Nagomu**
* So that means... that was*
* her looking for her dad?*
**[10:18] Fuki**
Oh, right. Your room.
**[10:20] Fuki**
The storeroom's the only one available,
so just use it however you like.
**[10:23] Nagomu**
What? Seriously?!
**[10:27] Fuki**
Dinner's ready. Will you
go call Nagomu for me?
**[10:31] Itsuka**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[10:34] Itsuka**
Um...
**[10:37] Itsuka**
About dinner...
**[10:45] Itsuka**
A guitar.

**[11:13] Saki**
Masa-san! Good morning.
**[11:16] Masa**
Saki-kun. Morning.
**[11:18] Masa**
The sun has started coming up earlier.
**[11:22] Saki**
And the air is fresh and light.
**[11:25] Nagomu**
Fifty-one...
**[11:29] Nagomu**
Fifty-two...
**[11:31] Saki**
* This scene is 180 degrees*
* away from "fresh and light"!*
**[11:32] Nagomu; background**
Fifty-three...
**[11:34] Fuki**
You've been working very hard
since early this morning.
**[11:38] Heigo**
You should be grateful that I'm
letting you train here at all.
**[11:41] Fuki**
That's right.
**[11:42] Fuki**
Training starts early in the morning,
so you'll need to sharpen up.
**[11:46] Nagomu**
Is doing 50 push-ups right after waking
up really how wagashi artisans train?!
**[11:49] Fuki**
Try imagining being a parent who has to
give her over-30 son this kind of advice.
**[11:57] Nagomu**
Huh? What about my rice?
**[11:59] Itsuka**
Please feel free to serve yourself.
**[12:01] Nagomu**
Understood.
**[12:02] Heigo**
Yay, yay!
**[12:07] Itsuka**
I'm going to go sweep out front!
**[12:09] Heigo**
Itsuka...
**[12:10] Heigo**
Make Nagomu do that.
You go get ready for school.
**[12:13] Nagomu**
What?
**[12:14] Heigo**
Did you say something with
that mouth? Did you?!
**[12:16] Itsuka**
I don't want to.
**[12:18] Itsuka**
"The front of the shop is its face.
Keeping it clean is important."
**[12:22] Itsuka**
That's what you taught me, isn't it?
**[12:24] Itsuka**
I don't want to entrust that to this person.
**[12:25] Heigo**
I see. I see!
**[12:27] Heigo**
In that case, you go to
the storeroom and get
**[12:30] ---**
sugar, wasanbon, rice flour,
glutinous rice flour...
**[12:32] Nagomu**
Please don't tell me all at once.
**[12:33] Heigo**
Can't you remember, you moron?!
**[12:35] Nagomu; boy**
Man, this is heavy.
**[12:39] Nagomu; boy**
That's right. Back when I was a kid...
**[12:42] Nagomu; boy**
I wanted to help, but I spilled it all.
This reminds me of back then...
**[12:47] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
What's wrong? You seem upset.
**[12:49] (Flashback) Nagomu; boy**
Grandpa!
**[12:52] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
Here.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
Why don't you eat this?
**[12:54] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
Getting something in your stomach
makes you feel better, right?
**[12:58] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
And eating something yummy will make
you feel even better than that.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Nagomu; boy**
That means our wagashi will make
me feel better than anything else!
**[13:07] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
In that case, I'm going to have to ask
you to take care of our Ryokushou for me.
**[13:15] Nagomu**
*Grandpa...*
**[13:17] Nagomu**
*I wonder if my being here...*
**[13:20] Nagomu**
*makes him happy.*
**[13:24] Nagomu**
Bye! Stay safe!
**[13:28] Heigo**
Be careful!
**[13:30] Itsuka**
I'm going now!
**[13:35] Itsuka**
*I won't lose.*
**[13:37] (Flashback) Itsuka**
I'm not giving this place up to
someone so selfish he'd just run off.
**[13:40] Itsuka**
* He ran from the shop.*
* He ran from making sweets.*
**[13:43] Itsuka**
* He just did as he liked*
* and abandoned his duties.*
**[13:45] Itsuka**
* I won't lose to an irresponsible*
* adult like him! Not ever!*
**[13:50] Otsurusan**
Mistress, I have to go soon.
**[13:53] Fuki**
Oh, Otsurusan. It's already time for
you to leave, isn't it? Thank you.
**[13:56] Saki**
Mistress...
**[13:58] Saki**
"Where's the order log?"
The master was asking about that.
**[14:00] Fuki**
What? Honestly.
**[14:02] Fuki**
Isn't it where it usually is?
**[14:04] Fuki**
Nagomu, will you help in the
shop for a little while?
**[14:07] Nagomu**
Oh. Sure.
**[14:10] Nagomu**
*Let's see...*
**[14:12] Nagomu**
*This one's Flowing...*
**[14:14] Nagomu**
*Nightingale...*
**[14:15] Nagomu**
*Budding Crimson.*
**[14:17] Nagomu**
Each one's such a little beauty!
**[14:20] customer**
U-Um...
**[14:22] Fuki**
Is this it?
**[14:23] Heigo**
Yes, that's it.
**[14:25] Fuki**
Oh no! I've left Nagomu in the shop!
**[14:28] Itsuka**
I'll switch with him!
**[14:30] Fuki**
Would you?
**[14:31] Itsuka**
I'll switch with—
**[14:34] Nagomu**
Take care, okay? You're going
to make them so happy!
**[14:38] Fuki**
Stop that! Nagomu!
**[14:40] Fuki**
I'm so sorry about this. Thank you!
**[14:43] Heigo**
He went and did it, huh?
**[14:45] Masa**
Yes. We could hear it perfectly
all the way back here.
**[14:54] Itsuka**
Here.
**[14:57] Itsuka**
Grandfather's done with it,
so I was told to give it to you.
**[15:04] Nagomu**
The sweets grandpa and the others make...
**[15:07] Nagomu**
They're really beautiful, you see?
**[15:09] Nagomu**
And when they were making them,
the sweets in their hands looked happy.
**[15:14] Nagomu**
It made me feel a ridiculous
amount of empathy for the sweets.
**[15:17] Nagomu**
I loved them so much, I couldn't stand it.
**[15:20] Nagomu**
When they were sold, I'd just cry and cry.
**[15:23] Nagomu**
And then...
**[15:24] (Flashback) grandfather**
That's true.
**[15:26] (Flashback) grandfather**
The way things are, it might be better
to have Nagomu go do something else.
**[15:39] Nagomu**
So...
**[15:41] Nagomu**
I went to high school, and after meeting
an upperclassman I really admired...
**[15:45] Nagomu**
I started playing guitar.
**[15:47] Nagomu**
After that, my grandpa died.
**[15:50] Nagomu**
I sort of felt like I'd been left behind.
**[15:54] Nagomu**
That's right.
**[15:56] Nagomu**
I ran away, just like you said.
**[16:02] Mitsuru**
Itsuka-chan!
**[16:06] Itsuka**
Yes, this is her.
**[16:10] Itsuka**
What?
**[16:12] Heigo**
A hundred mugwort jouyo manju?
**[16:14] Fuki**
They said they'd come to pick
them up tomorrow evening.
**[16:18] Fuki**
They said they were so impressed
with the way Itsuka works
**[16:20] Fuki**
that they asked her to come to the
phone so that they could praise her!
**[16:23] Heigo**
That's impressive, getting an order like that!
**[16:27] Heigo**
Well, then, let's get everything
ready for tomorrow.
**[16:30] Saki; Masa**
Yes, sir!
**[16:31] Heigo**
Right. Let's get it done!
***SIGN*** Traditional Confectionery

**[16:38] Nagomu**
The wonderful smell of mugwort!
**[16:40] Heigo**
Don't eat any.
**[16:41] Nagomu**
I'm not gonna eat them.
**[16:43] Nagomu**
Our jouyo manju use koshi an, smooth red
bean paste. And they aren't too sweet.
**[16:49] Itsuka**
I'm back!
**[16:50] Heigo**
Welcome home!
**[16:52] Heigo**
We just finished them up.
**[16:54] Itsuka**
I'll go change clothes!
**[16:59] Fuki**
I'm looking forward to seeing who's
coming to pick them up, aren't you?

**[17:16] female customer**
There are two of us. Do you
have any seats available?
**[17:19] Mitsuru**
I'll show you the way.
**[17:22] Fuki**
They don't seem to be coming.
Shall I give them a call?
**[17:26] Itsuka**
If you wouldn't mind.
**[17:31] Fuki**
I—

**[17:36] recording**
* The number you have dialed*
* is not currently in service.*
**[17:40] Saki**
That might be a number
from a disposable phone.
**[17:44] Heigo**
You're saying it was a prank?
**[17:45] Fuki**
A disposable phone?
**[17:47] Saki**
What do you want to do?
It's already closing time.
**[17:50] Heigo**
Itsuka, don't worry about this.
**[17:52] Heigo**
They thought of you as just a
kid and decided to tease you.
**[17:57] Heigo**
Itsuka!
**[17:59] Itsuka**
I'll figure something out!
**[18:02] Fuki**
Figure something out? But you don't have to!
**[18:04] Nagomu**
What is a child, on her own,
going to be able to do?
**[18:06] Nagomu**
There's no need to be so stubborn, is there?
**[18:10] Itsuka**
I'm not being stubborn,
I'm taking responsibility!
**[18:12] Itsuka**
Fulfilling your responsibilities has nothing
to do with being an adult or a child!
**[18:17] Heigo**
Hey! Someone, go after her!
**[18:19] Saki**
All right!
**[18:21] Nagomu**
Wait.
**[18:22] Nagomu**
I'll go.
**[18:30] Itsuka**
Would you like some manju?
**[18:33] Itsuka**
Ryokushou's manju is delicious!
**[18:36] Itsuka**
Would you like some?
**[18:39] Itsuka**
Would you like some manju?
**[18:42] Itsuka**
It's delicious!
**[18:50] Itsuka**
*No one's stopping for me.*
**[18:58] Itsuka**
*I have to be more reliable. Otherwise...*
**[19:05] housewife**
Are you all right?
**[19:06] Itsuka**
Huh?
**[19:07] housewife**
A child, alone, doing something like this...
**[19:10] housewife**
Police officers are sure
to come check on you.
**[19:12] housewife**
You should hurry up and go
back to your mom and dad.
**[19:18] Itsuka**
Papa is...
**[19:20] (Flashback) Itsuka's father (mental image)**
I told you.
**[19:21] (Flashback) Itsuka's father**
Kids only get in the way.
**[19:23] (Flashback) Itsuka's father**
They're a handful...
**[19:25] (Flashback) Itsuka's father**
and they're no help with anything.
**[19:29] Itsuka**
What do I do?
**[19:30] Itsuka**
I'm going to be a child no one needs again.
**[19:36] Nagomu**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[19:45] Itsuka**
A chestnut?
**[19:46] Nagomu**
You did great, working so hard
on your own. Very admirable.
**[19:50] Nagomu**
Now it's time to start the show!
**[19:58] Nagomu**
*Sweets are good for a tired body.*
**[20:00] Nagomu**
*Together with a rest, a familiar sweetness.*
**[20:03] Nagomu**
*One, with tax included, is 360 yen!*
**[20:07] Nagomu**
* The aroma of mugwort will*
* make you feel so calm.*
**[20:10] Nagomu**
*Jouyo manju! We're having a special sale!*
**[20:15] woman 1**
What's that? Looks like fun!
**[20:17] woman 2**
But wagashi isn't really...
**[20:19] Nagomu**
You there, young lady!
**[20:21] Nagomu**
Anko is great for promoting beauty!

* Adzuki beans have dietary*

**[20:28] Nagomu**

*Iron! You can get a lot of that, too!*
**[20:33] Nagomu**
*Plus, it's low in calories!*
**[20:38] woman 3**
I'll have some!
**[20:39] Nagomu**
Thanks!
**[20:40] woman 4**
Some for me too!
**[20:42] customer 5**
What shop are you from?
**[20:43] Itsuka**
We're from Ryokushou!
**[20:45] customer 6**
Can I have just one?
**[20:46] Nagomu**
Of course you can!
**[20:48] Itsuka**
Thank you!
**[20:49] customer 7**
May I take a picture?
**[20:50] Nagomu**
No problem! Make sure you promote us!
**[20:53] Itsuka**
Thank you!
**[20:55] customer 8**
Five manju, please!
**[20:57] Itsuka**
Right away!
**[20:57] Nagomu**
Thank you!
**[21:07] Nagomu**
Well, we managed to sell out somehow.
**[21:11] Nagomu**
Making mistakes is fine. My family
considers you our girl, right?
**[21:15] Nagomu**
You're still just a fledgling to me.
**[21:18] Nagomu**
Here.
**[21:20] Nagomu**
I swiped two and set 'em aside.
**[21:26] Itsuka**
That's 720 yen.
**[21:28] Nagomu**
You sure are a responsible heir, aren't you?
**[21:31] Nagomu**
Oh, it's so good!
**[21:35] Nagomu**
You know, when people eat yummy things,
**[21:38] Nagomu**
it makes them feel better.
**[21:43] (Flashback) Fuki**
Won't you try to be like a parent for her?
**[21:46] Nagomu**
* I don't know about being something*
* as important as that, but...*
**[21:50] Nagomu**
*If I can help her, then...*
**[21:53] Itsuka**
Huh? What is it?
**[21:56] Nagomu**
Nothing. Just... our manju are
the yummiest ever, right?
**[22:02] Itsuka**
Yes.

Mittsu, do you have work again today?
**[02:31] Mitsuru**
Hm? Yes.
**[02:32] classmate 2**
You make your own lunches and you
help out at home. You're amazing!
**[02:37] Mitsuru**
No, this is just what I always do.
**[02:41] classmate 1**
Oh, right! Look!
**[02:43] classmate 1**
He's from the place you work at, right?
**[02:46] Mitsuru**
Y-Yes.
**[02:47] Mitsuru**
I heard he played in a band in Tokyo.
**[02:51] classmates 1; 2**
Wow! Really?
**[02:56] Fuki**
Thank you!
**[02:58] Itsuka**
Thank you!
**[03:00] Nagomu**
Make sure they appreciate
you when they eat you!
**[03:03] Itsuka**
Isn't it about time to get used
to saying goodbye to the sweets?
**[03:07] Fuki**
That's right.
**[03:08] Fuki**
What will you do once you get to the point
where you can make sweets yourself?
**[03:14] Mitsuru**
Nagomu-san, please use this.
**[03:17] Nagomu**
Mitsuru-chan...
**[03:19] Mitsuru**
It's still brand new.
**[03:21] Nagomu**
Thank you.
**[03:23] Nagomu**
I'll wash it and return it.
**[03:27] Mitsuru**
I'm so sorry! They're my little brother's!
**[03:29] Mitsuru**
The pattern's similar,
so I grabbed them by mistake!
**[03:32] Nagomu**
Well... I'm glad they were brand new.
**[03:34] Itsuka**
What's wrong?
**[03:36] Mitsuru**

Wow.

I'm using my favorite one here.

I like that.
**[06:44] Nagomu**
I wish I had one. A chestnut manju.
**[06:47] Mitsuru**
Oh, speaking of which...
**[06:50] Mitsuru**
This is you, isn't it, Nagomu-san?
**[06:52] Nagomu**
Th-This is...
**[06:54] Nagomu**
This is definitely from that time we
were selling in front of the station!
**[06:57] Nagomu**
When did they take that?
**[06:59] Itsuka**
You're the one who went to get
your picture taken, aren't you?
**[07:02] Itsuka**
Wh-What is it?
**[07:04] Nagomu**
Nothing!
**[07:06] Nagomu**
It's nothing. Nothing at all...
**[07:13] Nagomu**
Mitsuru-chan is in her second
year of high school, right?
**[07:16] Nagomu**
Isn't it hard for her to
work part-time every day?
**[07:19] Fuki**
She said she wants to take care

She really is so responsible.
**[07:24] Fuki**

You went grocery shopping for me?
**[08:04] Mitsuru**
Milk and yogurt were on sale.
**[08:14] Mitsuru**
Grandpa, Grandma, these are
from your beloved Ryokushou.
**[08:19] Mitsuru**
They look like wisteria blossoms.
They're so pretty!
**[08:28] grandmother**
*Higashi sweets made of wasanbon, you see...*
**[08:31] (Flashback) grandmother**
They just crumble and melt away
in your mouth, don't they?
**[08:36] (Flashback) grandmother**
That's what I like about them.
**[08:39] (Flashback) grandmother**
And they aren't too sweet.
I could eat so many of them.
**[08:45] (Flashback) grandmother**
You see? Even as I said it,
it's already disappeared.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Mitsuru; child**
If I work at Ryokushou, couldn't you
eat as much as you wanted?

*You should go do what you love to do.*

Big Brother hit me!
**[09:17] little brother 1**
I knocked into you a little is all.
**[09:21] Mitsuru**
Weren't you all just laughing
and playing together?
**[09:24] little brother 2**
But he...
**[09:25] little brother 1**
Shut up!
**[09:26] Mitsuru**
Oh, dear. I can't give nice
things to children who fight.
**[09:31] little brother 1**
Huh? What is it?
**[09:32] little brother 2**
What is it?
**[09:34] Mitsuru**
Grandpa and Grandma are
done with these, so...
**[09:38] little brother 2**
These are those sugar candies!
**[09:40] little brother 1**
I love these!
**[09:42] Mitsuru**
We haven't had dinner yet,
so just one each, okay?
**[09:48] little brother 3**
It melted!
**[09:49] little brother 1**
It's so good!
**[09:50] little brother 2**
It's so sweet!
**[09:51] little brothers**
One more! One more!
**[09:52] Mitsuru**
No.
**[09:54] Mitsuru**
I said just one, didn't I?
**[09:56] Mitsuru**
You can have more tomorrow.
**[09:57] little brothers**
Aw...
**[09:59] little brother 1**
In that case, sing us something
when we go to sleep!
**[10:01] little brother 1**
I like your singing voice, Big Sis!
**[10:05] Mitsuru**
All right.
**[10:10] Neon**
Will I be able to say it right?
**[10:14] Neon**
Will I be able to tell you?
**[10:19] Neon**
Honest words would be the best, but...
**[10:33] Mitsuru's mom**
Welcome home.
**[10:34] Mitsuru's dad**
Thanks.
**[10:36] Mitsuru's dad**
Are all the kids asleep?
**[10:39] Mitsuru's mom**
Mitsuru's put them to bed for me.
**[10:41] Mitsuru's dad**
I see.
**[10:43] Mitsuru's mom**
I rely on her for everything.
She's so responsible.
**[10:47] Mitsuru's dad**
Yes, she is.

**[11:38] Nagomu**
Wow. She gets some good sound out of that.
**[11:40] Neon**
*Will I be able to tell you?*
**[11:41] Nagomu**
She seems like she's still in high school.
**[11:43] Itsuka**

*would you smile?*
**[11:58] Itsuka**

Oh, this? It's a video of an

**[12:01] Neon**
*Even though there's nothing good about me*
**[12:05] Nagomu**
It's a good song. And it seems
like she's got quite a few fans.
**[12:08] Neon**
*The stray cat I saw earlier*
**[12:12] Nagomu**
What's wrong?
**[12:12] Neon**
*I think it was crying at the bus stop*
**[12:14] Itsuka**
I was just thinking it's been
a while since I heard a guitar.
**[12:17] Nagomu**
I played it just the other day
when we were selling manju.
**[12:21] Itsuka**
That's different.
**[12:22] Nagomu**
It didn't work for you, huh?
**[12:22] Neon**
*That's the feeling I got*
**[12:25] Itsuku**
Huh? This is Mitsuru-chan.
**[12:25] Neon**
*But it isn't enough yet...*
**[12:28] Nagomu**
What?
**[12:29] Neon**
*to make me bloom in many layers*
**[12:29] Itsuka**
This.
**[12:30] Itsuka**
It's Mitsuru-chan's phone strap.
**[12:33] Neon**
*So I'll just sing*

Look! In the comments.

So it really was you, Mitsuru-chan?
**[13:52] Mitsuru**
Yes.
**[13:54] Nagomu**
You've been playing music, then?
When did you start?
**[13:58] Mitsuru**
In middle school.
**[14:00] Mitsuru**
A friend started playing guitar,
and she let me play, too.
**[14:09] Mitsuru**
I just plucked the strings a little...
**[14:11] Mitsuru**
And I felt like my heart began to unfurl.
**[14:17] Mitsuru**
I always hold myself back, but...
**[14:19] Mitsuru**
I felt like, through music, I'd be
able to express all kinds of emotions.
**[14:24] Mitsuru**
My friend stopped playing.
**[14:28] Mitsuru**
But a year ago, I bought myself
a guitar with the money I'd earned.
**[14:32] Mitsuru**
I wrote some music.
**[14:34] Mitsuru**
And once I did, I wanted someone to hear it.
**[14:40] Mitsuru**
I recorded myself in secret
at a karaoke place...
**[14:44] Mitsuru**
Uploaded it to the internet...
**[14:47] Mitsuru**
And when I got likes and comments,
it started being fun.
**[14:50] Nagomu**
Oh, yeah. I get it. I do.
**[14:54] Mitsuru**
But...
**[14:55] Mitsuru**
It's all over.
**[14:58] Mitsuru**
I'll quit working here.
**[15:00] Itsuka**
What?
**[15:01] Mitsuru**
I'll quit music, too.
**[15:03] Mitsuru**
I'm causing problems for the shop.
**[15:06] Mitsuru**
I'll take down all my songs and
make it like they never existed.
**[15:10] Itsuka**
You shouldn't do that!
**[15:11] Itsuka**
You shouldn't give up!
**[15:14] Itsuka**
You looked like you were having so much fun!
**[15:19] Nagomu**
Quitting your job at our shop...
Quitting uploading...
**[15:23] Nagomu**
I can understand that.
**[15:25] Nagomu**
It's scary to have people you don't
know messing with you, after all.
**[15:30] Nagomu**
But...
**[15:31] Nagomu**
Why would you quit music?
**[15:35] Mitsuru**
I haven't said anything to my parents.
**[15:38] Nagomu**
You can't tell them?
**[15:39] Mitsuru**
They trust me because they think
I'm diligent and responsible.
**[15:44] Mitsuru**
I just can't open up and confide in them!
**[15:46] Mitsuru**
Mom and Dad are so busy. I just...
**[15:51] Mitsuru**
Th-This is no time for me
to be doing whatever I want.
**[15:55] Mitsuru**
I just feel like this
might be the right time.
**[15:58] Nagomu**
This isn't what you call the "right time."
**[16:04] Nagomu**
The real "right time"...
**[16:07] Nagomu**
is when you've played in a band for
ten years and never been very popular!
**[16:10] Nagomu**
Your band mates leave you,
and you realize you're all alone.
**[16:13] Nagomu**
And just when a big hole's
been poked in your heart...
**[16:16] Nagomu**
You decide to go back to your
parents' place! That's the "right time"!
**[16:20] Itsuka**
What an uncool example.
**[16:22] Nagomu**
What?
**[16:25] Nagomu**
If you've already decided to give up, why not
use that courage for something else?
**[16:35] Nagomu**
Okay.
**[16:36] Nagomu**
Why don't we head out for a while?
**[16:46] Nagomu**
I beg of you! Please allow Mitsuru-chan
to do what she wants to do!
**[16:49] Mitsuru**
N-N-N-Nagomu-san!
**[16:52] Mitsuru's mom**
Wait a moment, please.
**[16:55] Mitsuru's mom**
This conversation is all too sudden.
**[16:58] Nagomu**
I am ashamed to ask this of you, but...
**[17:01] Nagomu**
When I said I had something
I wanted to do and left home,
**[17:04] Nagomu**
my parents didn't say anything.
They just let me go.
**[17:06] Nagomu**
They let me do as I liked, and I'm
truly grateful to them for that.
**[17:11] Nagomu**
In the end, I did give up that dream,
**[17:15] Nagomu**
but I have no regrets
about the decision I made.
**[17:19] Nagomu**
So, won't you give that to Mitsuru-chan, too?
**[17:24] Nagomu**
Mitsuru-chan's music...
**[17:26] Nagomu**
I really like it!
**[17:33] Itsuka**
Mitsuru-chan...
**[17:35] Itsuka**
You can do this! Say it
like you do in your music!
**[17:39] Itsuka**
Tell her your feelings!
**[17:43] Mitsuru**
Yes.
**[17:46] Mitsuru**
Thank you, Itsuka-chan, Nagomu-san.
**[18:04] Itsuka**
Still...
**[18:06] Itsuka**
To think you'd go barging
into someone else's house.
**[18:09] Nagomu**
Huh? Was that bad?
**[18:13] Itsuka**
But, well... It might have been
good for Mitsuru-chan's sake.
**[18:20] Nagomu**
I hope it all turns out okay.

Good morning!

Morning!
**[18:37] Nagomu**
Off to school?
**[18:38] Mitsuru**
Yes.
**[18:39] Nagomu**
That's a pleasant smile. Were you able
to talk with your father after that, too?
**[18:45] Mitsuru**
I came to give a report about that.
**[18:49] Mitsuru**
After that, that night...
**[18:52] Mitsuru**
When I told them I want to keep playing music,
**[18:55] Mitsuru**
and I want to work in a field
that involves music...
**[18:58] (Flashback) Mitsuru's mom**
Honestly! Why didn't you
say something sooner?
**[19:01] (Flashback) Mitsuru's dad**
It makes us feel lonely!
**[19:02] Mitsuru**
...is what they said as they scolded me.
**[19:04] Mitsuru**
After that, my whole family started
a watch party of my videos...
**[19:05] little brother 1**
What's with the mask?
**[19:07] little brother 2**
Did you make it?
**[19:09] Mitsuru**
I experienced an impressive amount
of pleasurable embarrassment.
**[19:12] Nagomu**
Man, that's rough.
**[19:14] Mitsuru**
But everyone said they liked my songs!
**[19:18] Nagomu**
That's really great.
**[19:20] Mitsuru**
Yes!
**[19:22] Nagomu**
I've been checking online, but...
**[19:25] Nagomu**
It looks like everyone's gotten bored

**[20:02] Nagomu**
Huh? Really?
**[20:04] Mitsuru**
And... I like your music, too, Nagomu-san.
**[20:09] Nagomu**
Thank you! Makes me feel sort of embarrassed.
**[20:12] Mitsuru**
And here...
**[20:14] Mitsuru**
While I was at it, I made a
chestnut manju phone strap, so...
**[20:17] Nagomu**
I can have it? Thank you!
**[20:20] Nagomu**
Oh, right. Wait just a sec.
**[20:32] Nagomu**
Here you go.
**[20:33] Nagomu**

saying that? You want to go or something?

Well, it's been ten years since I've gone!

**[04:37] Nagomu**
Shh! I haven't told mom and the others.
**[04:40] Saki**
S-Sorry.
**[04:41] Nagomu**
He said some of the other girls
in her class saw her get on a bus.
**[04:44] Saki**
A bus?
**[04:45] Nagomu**
Her teacher told me to ask everyone in the
house if they know where she might go.
**[04:49] Saki**
And right now, you're asking me, right?
**[04:51] Nagomu**
That's right.
**[04:54] Saki**
Itsuka-chan's father is missing, isn't he?
**[04:58] Saki**
Somewhere like Kyoto Station, with lots
of people always going in and out...
**[05:01] Saki**
She said he might drop
by a place like that,
**[05:03] Saki**
so she goes there sometimes to see.
**[05:07] Saki**
Maybe she's near the station again.
**[05:09] Nagomu**
No, her teacher said that she
got on a bus headed for Ohara.
**[05:14] Saki**
Ohara?
**[05:16] Masa**
Itsuka-chan is—
**[05:18] Saki**
Shh!
**[05:18] Masa**
This is terrible.
**[05:19] Saki**
Nagomu-san is out right now looking,
**[05:22] Saki**
but he said to keep it a secret
from the master and the others.
**[05:26] Masa**
I just need to create an alibi, right?

They say that the Shimogamo Shrine was

The dango there always have the top
one slightly separated, you see?

When an emperor a long time ago scooped up
water from the purifying mitarashi pond,
**[06:15] (Flashback) Tomoe**
he saw a single bubble rise to the surface,
**[06:17] (Flashback) Tomoe**
followed by four more. Some say
they're modeled after that.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Itsuka; young**
Really?
**[06:22] (Flashback) Tomoe**
Others say they're meant to be dolls

There's this idiot who
chose his family over me.
**[09:04] Kanoko**
Even though he said, "Let's go

**[09:09] Kanoko**
So, in order to forget and to shed

I'll eat them with gusto!
**[09:29] Kanoko**
You know a lot about them, don't you?
**[09:30] Itsuka**
Y-Yes.
**[09:31] Itsuka**
The person who taught me about them...
**[09:34] Itsuka**
abandoned me.
**[09:35] Kanoko**
Abandoned?!
**[09:36] Itsuka**
Sometimes I think it'd be
better to forget, but...
**[09:41] Itsuka**
Actually, I came here because I thought
I saw someone who looked like him.
**[09:45] Kanoko**
*Itsuka-chan is so noble!*
**[09:47] Itsuka**
But even though I was chasing after him,
I was an idiot and lost sight of him.
**[09:51] Kanoko**
What are you talking about? It's better
that you couldn't find him!
**[09:54] Kanoko**
You should just abandon him instead!
**[09:56] Kanoko**
Itsuka-chan, you're still young,
and I know there are better men out there!
**[09:59] Itsuka**
Better men?
**[10:02] Kanoko**
Well, now, we should shed
our misfortune together!
**[10:04] Kanoko**
Excuse me!
**[10:04] Itsuka**
But I'm already full...
**[10:05] Kanoko**
I'd like to order some more!

Not at all.
**[10:24] Kanoko**
After I drop you off, I wonder
where I should go next.
**[10:30] Itsuka**
Aren't you going to go see him?
**[10:32] Kanoko**
I don't want to!
**[10:34] Kanoko**
If he finds out I'm in Kyoto, he'll think
I'm still hung up on him, won't...

It says my dad was hospitalized.
**[11:15] (Flashback) Nagomu**
If my dad has collapsed...
**[11:18] (Flashback) Nagomu**
No one will be able to eat
our shop's sweets anymore!
**[11:21] (Flashback) Nagomu**
I'm the only one who can carry on the shop.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Kanoko! Come with me to my parents...
**[11:28] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Huh?
**[11:33] (Flashback) Kanoko**
I'm sorry.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Kanoko**
I like Western sweets.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Kanoko**
Bye-bye.
**[11:51] Itsuka**
Thank you.
**[11:53] Kanoko**
I should be saying that.
**[11:54] Kanoko**
Thank you for keeping
me company. Take care, okay?
**[12:00] Nagomu**
When you're done, don't make any
side trips. Go straight home, okay?
**[12:18] Kanoko**
Itsuka-chan is a nice girl.
**[12:21] Nagomu**
Yeah, though she does
have an impertinent side.
**[12:25] Nagomu**
Thank you for spending time with her.
**[12:27] Kanoko**
She's about ten?
**[12:28] Nagomu**
Well, she's in fifth grade.
**[12:30] Kanoko**
You came to Tokyo about
ten years ago, didn't you?
**[12:33] Nagomu**
Yes, I did, but why?!
**[12:35] Kanoko**
You left without knowing a woman
you'd broken up with was pregnant.
**[12:37] Kanoko**
Now, ten years later, you're
back to meet your daughter.
**[12:39] ---**
Is that the pattern I'm seeing?!
**[12:39] Nagomu**
I think there's been a huge misunderstanding!
**[12:43] Kanoko**
What misunderstanding?!
**[12:44] Nagomu**
You're stretching out my clothes!
**[12:47] Kanoko**
Her father's gone missing?
**[12:49] Kanoko**
Huh? Then...
**[12:52] (Flashback) Itsuka**
I was abandoned.
**[12:53] Kanoko**
...was she talking about
her father back there?
**[12:55] Nagomu**
That's why my family's looking after her,
**[12:58] Nagomu**
but my parents think of
her like a grandkid.
**[13:01] Nagomu**
And she gets along great with everyone.
**[13:05] Kanoko**
She was cold toward you, though.
**[13:08] Nagomu**
I'm trying to act like a
father figure for her, but...
**[13:12] Nagomu**
I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[13:14] Nagomu**
It'll work out somehow, eventually.
**[13:16] Kanoko**
I see you're just as easygoing as always.

**[13:30] Kanoko**
I quit. I'm job-hunting right now.
**[13:32] Nagomu**
I see.
**[13:35] Nagomu**
But... why are you in Kyoto?
**[13:40] Kanoko**
"Why"?
**[13:44] (Flashback) Nagomu**
When I hear those sounds, it makes
me really feel like it's summer.
**[13:48] (Flashback) Kanoko**
Gion Matsuri?
**[13:50] (Flashback) Kanoko**
I'd like to go.

**[13:55] (Flashback) Kanoko**
Huh?
**[13:57] (Flashback) Nagomu**
I'll take you.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Kanoko**
Okay!
**[14:05] Kanoko**
No reason. Just felt like it, is all.
**[14:09] Kanoko**
I wasn't thinking about seeing
you or anything, Nagomu.
**[14:11] Nagomu**
Yeah, I suppose not.
**[14:15] Kanoko**
Well, I'm going to go.
**[14:17] Nagomu**
Sure. I'll just get out here, then.
**[14:33] Kanoko**
*What was that?*
**[14:34] Kanoko**
*Being so nonchalant...*
**[14:48] Nagomu**
Would you... like to get some tea or something?

**[14:53] Takase**
I'm so glad. I was worried, you know?
**[14:56] Takase**
Did you come alone? Where's your uncle?
**[14:58] Itsuka**
Huh?
**[14:59] Takase**
He was desperately searching
for you, Yukihira.
**[15:03] Takase**
Make sure you express your gratitude to him.
**[15:09] Kanoko**
How far are we going for tea?
**[15:11] Nagomu**
It's just over there. Not far.
**[15:14] Nagomu**
See? There.
**[15:16] Nagomu**
That's my place.
**[15:17] Kanoko**
What?
**[15:19] Kanoko**
Wait, Nagomu!
**[15:20] Nagomu**
I'm back.
**[15:21] Miyo**
Just a moment please!
**[15:22] Miyo**
Allow me to show you to your seats.
**[15:25] Otsurusan**
Shall I wrap that for you?
**[15:27] Nagomu**
Uh-oh. This is a busy time.
**[15:29] Fuki**
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
**[15:31] Fuki**
Wha—
**[15:33] Fuki**
It's you, Nagomu?!
**[15:34] Fuki**
What have you been doing?!
**[15:35] Fuki**
Don't just stand there! Go get changed!
**[15:38] Nagomu**
I will.
**[15:39] Nagomu**
Sorry, Kanoko!
**[15:40] Nagomu**
They'll show you to a seat
as soon as one opens up!
**[15:42] Nagomu**
Just wait there!
**[15:52] Nagomu**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[15:54] Nagomu**
This is a gift, isn't it?
**[15:56] Kanoko**
*He really is working in a shop.*
**[15:59] Kanoko**
*And he's good at it.*
**[16:01] Nagomu**
Oops!
**[16:03] Nagomu**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[16:04] customer**
Could I get a receipt for claiming expenses?
**[16:06] Nagomu**
Let's see... The addressee is...
What kanji are used for that, again?
**[16:11] Nagomu**
Oh, if you'll please wait a moment!
**[16:13] Nagomu**
Um, it's...

My, you're far more helpful than Nagomu is.
**[16:28] Fuki**
You must be tired, Nagomu's friend.
**[16:30] Kanoko**
I'm sorry! I just jumped in without thinking!
**[16:32] Fuki**
It's fine! But I do have a
little favor to ask of you.
**[16:35] Kanoko**
What? I, um...
**[16:36] Fuki**
Oh, a customer.
**[16:38] Fuki; Kanoko**
Welcome!
**[16:41] Kanoko**
*I reacted without thinking!*
**[16:45] Nagomu**
I'm back...
**[16:49] Heigo**
How dare you just come wandering
back like this, you moron?!
**[16:53] Saki**
Master, wait!
**[16:54] Heigo**
Let go, Saki!
**[16:55] Nagomu**
Didn't he say something like that
when I first came back here?
**[16:55] Heigo; background**
Let go right now!
**[16:57] Saki; background**
Wait!
**[16:58] Heigo; background**
Let go of me!
**[16:59] Heigo; background**
Do you see that?!
**[16:59] Masa**
Are you all right, young master?
**[17:01] Nagomu**
What is this? What's going on?
**[17:04] Masa**
I wanted to buy some time for
you to look for Itsuka-chan,
**[17:07] Masa**
so I tried hypnotizing him to think
that you were still in Tokyo.
**[17:12] Nagomu**
What?!
**[17:12] Heigo; background**
Even if you come back now,
there's no place for you here!
**[17:12] Masa**
I'll try undoing it again. Please stand back!
**[17:15] Nagomu**
Hurry up and undo it.
**[17:16] Fuki**
My, you were really so much help.
**[17:19] Fuki**
Thank you.
**[17:20] ---**
Things have calmed down a bit.
Please have some tea and relax.
**[17:24] Kanoko**
Thank you very much.
**[17:26] Itsuka**
I'm back!
**[17:27] Fuki**
Welcome home!
**[17:29] Itsuka**
Huh?
**[17:30] Fuki**
This is Nagomu's friend.
**[17:33] Itsuka**
I, um...
**[17:34] Kanoko**
Nice to meet you. My name is Kanoko.
**[17:36] Itsuka**
Huh?
**[17:38] Kanoko**
Nagomu seems to be keeping how
you skipped school a secret.
**[17:42] Kanoko**
So I'll pretend that this is
the first time we've met, okay?
**[17:45] Itsuka**
O-Okay.
**[17:48] Fuki**
Here, please have some if you'd like.
**[17:51] Kanoko**
Oh, it's waka-ayu,
a sweetfish-shaped wagashi, right?
**[17:54] Kanoko**
Itsuka-chan, do you want to eat some, too?
**[17:55] Fuki**
Go ahead. Have a nice chat.
**[17:58] Kanoko**
Sit! Sit!
**[18:00] Itsuka**
All right.
**[18:01] Kanoko**
Wow, they look delicious!
**[18:03] Kanoko**
Thank you for the sweets!
**[18:11] Kanoko**
What a gentle sweetness.
**[18:14] Kanoko**
Up where I come from, waka-ayu has anko inside.
**[18:17] Kanoko**
But in Kansai, particularly Kyoto, filling it
with sweet gyuuhi mochi is standard.
**[18:22] Kanoko**
They say the ones in Kyoto depict
the sweetfish in the Kamo River,
**[18:25] Kanoko**
but in other regions, they
use different rivers.
**[18:28] Kanoko**
With so many interpretations, wagashi are
really interesting, aren't they?
**[18:33] Itsuka**
You sure know a lot.
**[18:35] Kanoko**
I-It's not like I looked into wagashi
**[18:38] ---**
because I was thinking
about Nagomu or anything!
**[18:43] Kanoko**
It's ridiculous, isn't it?
**[18:45] Kanoko**
Why am I here?
**[18:50] Nagomu**
Masa-san!
**[18:51] Saki**
Finally, on the thirtieth time!
**[18:53] Heigo**
What's this? You all look exhausted.
**[18:57] Fuki**
Nagomu? A minute?
**[18:59] Nagomu**
What is it?
**[19:00] Fuki**
It's about your friend.
**[19:02] Fuki**
I have to thank her somehow...
**[19:05] Fuki**
But I don't know what would be good.
**[19:07] Nagomu**
That's true.

Kanoko-chan?
**[19:20] Kanoko**
Oh, thank you for the treat.
**[19:22] Kanoko**
I should go soon.
**[19:23] Fuki**
Do you have plans after this?
**[19:25] Kanoko**
No, nothing in particular.
**[19:27] Fuki**
Wonderful! Then shall we get changed?
**[19:30] Kanoko**
What?
**[19:30] Fuki**
Itsuka! Itsuka, you come, too.
**[19:36] Fuki**
It's lovely! It's one of mine,
but it suits you very well.
**[19:43] Kanoko**
Um, this is...
**[19:46] Fuki**
And you look lovely, too, Itsuka.
**[19:48] Fuki**
I was hoping you'd wear a yukata,
so I had one of ours altered.
**[19:53] Fuki**
There. All done.
**[19:55] Fuki**
Now, go visit the Yoiyama festivities.
**[20:01] Nagomu**
Oh, all ready?
**[20:03] Kanoko**
I see. He arranged all this, did he?
**[20:07] Kanoko**
Itsuka-chan? What's wrong?
**[20:11] Itsuka**
With Papa...
**[20:13] (Flashback) Tomoe**
One day, let's go see it together.
**[20:17] Itsuka**
I made a promise to go with Papa, so...
**[20:20] Itsuka**
I think I should...
**[20:23] Kanoko**
You should just go again with your father.
**[20:25] Itsuka**
What?
**[20:26] Itsuka**
Go again... with papa?
**[20:28] Kanoko**
That's right.
**[20:29] Kanoko**
Depending on the circumstances, you can
interpret things all kinds of ways.
**[20:33] Kanoko**
Just like with wagashi.
**[20:35] Kanoko**
And as for today,
**[20:36] Kanoko**
just think of it as a rehearsal
for when the day finally comes.
**[20:41] Kanoko**
You can think of that guy as
a stand-in for your father.
**[20:44] Kanoko**
Now... let's go.
**[20:53] Kanoko**
There are so many people!
**[20:55] Nagomu**
Right? This is Yoiyama.
**[21:01] Nagomu**
I managed to keep my promise.
**[21:03] Kanoko**
You remembered?
**[21:05] Nagomu**
Of course I did!
**[21:07] Nagomu**
Though, you might feel conflicted being
brought here by someone you dumped.
**[21:11] Kanoko**
Dumped?
**[21:12] Kanoko**
Who did what?
**[21:13] Nagomu**
Playing innocent like that really hurts me.
**[21:18] Nagomu**
What?
**[21:19] Kanoko**
Nothing.
**[21:22] Nagomu**
Hey! Let's go!
**[21:24] Nagomu**
Hey...
**[21:25] Nagomu**
Itsuka!
**[21:31] Nagomu**
We'll get separated.
**[21:33] Nagomu**
Here. Take my hand.

Hey, Itsuka! Where should we go next?
**[00:20] Nagomu**
How about Hirakata Park?

They've got a ride called
Pachanga that's really popular!

Mom! Look!
**[00:27] Nagomu**
This shot came out really well!
**[00:29] Fuki**
The one where Itsuka is really cute, right?
**[00:31] Fuki**
You've already shown me so many times.
**[00:34] Fuki**
Hmm?
**[00:35] Fuki**
There's an old guy in there.
**[00:36] Nagomu**
That's me!
**[00:38] Fuki**
Oh, that's right!
**[00:38] Fuki**
We have to go pick up the flowers.

Saki-kun?

Yes, ma'am?
**[00:43] Fuki**
I'm sorry. Can I ask you to go?
**[00:45] Saki**
I'll go right away.
**[00:46] Itsuka**
I'll go with you.
**[00:48] Saki**
Thanks.
**[00:49] Nagomu**
Then should I go, too?
**[00:51] Itsuka**
You don't have to come, Nagomu-san.
**[00:53] Fuki**
It's because you're an old man.
**[00:56] Nagomu**
Seriously, can't you do my birth over

**[02:33] Nagomu**
Since then, she won't even answer me anymore.
**[02:36] Nagomu**
What do I do?
**[02:37] Saki**
Asking me when you're already
in a stalemate is...
**[02:40] Nagomu**
But, Saki-kun, you get
along with her so well!
**[02:43] Nagomu**
Like today, you went on that errand together!
**[02:45] Saki**
That was just her helping me out, that's all.
**[02:48] Nagomu**
But "helping out" is something you
don't do unless there's trust, right?
**[02:51] Saki**
*I can't tell if his bar is set high or low.*
**[02:54] Saki**
I was wondering...
**[02:55] Saki**
Nagomu-san, you started training so
you could inherit Ryokushou, right?
**[03:00] Nagomu**
Well... Dad wants to ask Itsuka to do it,
**[03:05] Nagomu**
so I can't really speak up about it.
**[03:08] Nagomu**
What about you, Saki-kun?
**[03:10] Nagomu**
Your family runs a manju shop, right?
**[03:12] Saki**
Um, yes.
**[03:13] Nagomu**
Then your family must feel relieved.
**[03:16] Nagomu**
I mean, you're skilled at
everything you do, Saki-kun.
**[03:19] Saki**
I studied sweets and went to university.
**[03:22] Saki**
Once I'd graduated, I asked
to start training right away.
**[03:25] Saki**

so I am planning to help

**[03:39] Heigo**
Nagomu!
**[03:41] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[03:42] Heigo**
What have you done now?!
**[03:44] Heigo**
What's the meaning of Tsukiyama-san's
household canceling their order?!
**[03:47] Nagomu**
What?!
**[03:51] Heigo**
I'm so sorry.
**[03:53] Heigo**
I know that visiting after you've
told us we didn't have to is rude,
**[03:57] Heigo**
but if my idiot son has done
something wrong, that's a big problem.
**[04:01] Tsukiyama; mom**
No, it's nothing like that.
**[04:03] Heigo**
What?
**[04:04] Tsukiyama; mom**
You know that we host classes
at our house every week?
**[04:07] Tsukiyama; mom**
Generally, I serve as the host,
**[04:11] Tsukiyama; mom**
but lately I've been entrusting
them to my son, too.
**[04:14] Heigo**
I see.
**[04:15] Tsukiyama; mom**
My son was supposed to
host next week's class,
**[04:20] Tsukiyama; mom**
but he's suddenly started
saying that his "heart hurts."
**[04:24] Tsukiyama; mom**
When I asked, he said he'd fallen
in love at first sight...
**[04:27] Tsukiyama; mom**
with a girl who seems to work at Ryokushou.
**[04:30] Heigo**
So...
**[04:32] Tadashi**
Excuse me for interrupting.
**[04:35] Tadashi**
I've brought tea.
**[04:37] Tsukiyama; mom**
Thank you.
**[04:39] Tsukiyama; mom**
This is my son, Tadashi.
**[04:42] Tsukiyama; mom**
They came from Ryokushou.
**[04:48] Tadashi**
What did you come here for?!
**[04:50] Tadashi**
Have you decided to tell me about the girl?
**[04:53] Tadashi**
You're just going to
refuse again, aren't you?
**[04:57] Tadashi**
I just want to treasure this
fluttering feeling of being in love!
**[05:01] Tadashi**
Until these wounds in my heart heal, I won't
have anything to do with your sweets!
**[05:05] Tadashi**
Please leave!
**[05:09] Tsukiyama; mom**
I'm so sorry.
**[05:11] Tsukiyama; mom**
He gets very emotionally fragile
when he doesn't get his way.
**[05:15] Heigo**
It's fine. But when he said
"the girl," was that...
**[05:18] Tsukiyama; mom**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[05:21] Saki**
Thank you!
**[05:22] Tsukiyama; mom**
When our sweets were delivered,
**[05:25] Tsukiyama; mom**
a—smartphone, I think you call it?—
was left behind.
**[05:29] Tsukiyama; mom**
And when he looked at the lock screen...
**[05:32] Tsukiyama; mom**
It seems that the girl
he saw there was lovely.
**[05:35] Tsukiyama; mom**
He asked who it was, but...
**[05:37] Tsukiyama; mom**
he said the person refused to tell him.
**[05:40] Tsukiyama; mom**
To think my son is doing this when
he should be holding a class.

**[05:43] ---**
I can't apologize enough.
**[05:47] Saki**
I'm so sorry!
**[05:49] Heigo**
What's already done can't be helped.
**[05:51] Fuki**
After hearing the reason,
everything makes sense.
**[05:54] Fuki**
It's happened before, too.
**[05:55] Fuki**
Love affairs have made him say he'd
quit school, or quit tea ceremony.
**[05:59] Fuki**
He's caused a lot of trouble.
**[06:01] Nagomu**
He sounds like a complicated boy.
**[06:03] Heigo**
That's all fine.
**[06:05] Heigo**
But the girl in the photo...
It wasn't Itsuka, was it?
**[06:11] Itsuka**
I'm back!
**[06:12] Itsuka**
Did you just call my name?
**[06:14] everyone**
Welcome home!
**[06:18] (Flashback) Saki**
This girl?
**[06:19] (Flashback) Saki**
Oh, no, she's doesn't work at Ryokushou!
**[06:22] (Flashback) Saki**
You're better off giving up on her!
**[06:24] Saki**
*You wouldn't be a good match for her!*
**[06:27] Saki**
*I didn't mean to speak that way.*
**[06:30] Nagomu**
Oh, she's cute.
**[06:33] Nagomu**
But she sort of looks like Saki-kun somehow.
**[06:35] Saki**
Wha?!
**[06:36] Saki**
Why do you have that?!
**[06:38] Nagomu**
Well, it was just sitting there.
**[06:41] Nagomu**
Is it your little sister? Wait.
**[06:42] Nagomu**
But, Saki-kun, you only have
an older brother, right?
**[06:45] Nagomu**
Is she your cousin?
**[06:46] Saki**
That's...
**[06:47] Nagomu**
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[06:48] Nagomu**
What?
**[06:50] Itsuka**
If you keep pestering him,
he'll start hating you, you know?
**[06:53] Nagomu**
Huh? No way. I'm sorry.
***SIGN*** Traditional Confectionery

**[07:00] Nagomu**
It's been a few days since then.
**[07:04] Nagomu**
Saki-kun seems to have lost all his energy.
**[07:07] Masa**
Well, he feels like he's destroyed our
relationship with a regular customer.
**[07:10] Masa**
Young master, why don't you try
inviting him out for a drink?
**[07:13] Nagomu**
Yeah, I should.
**[07:15] Masa**
He's probably got things it would be easier
to talk with you about than with us.
***SIGN*** Sanjo-kobashi

I guess I should go find a place that

Huh?
**[07:28] Nagomu**
Wait...
**[07:30] Nagomu**
That girl is...
**[07:33] Nagomu**
She's the one from his lock screen!
***SIGN*** We'll Find the Person You Want to See

At long last...
**[07:44] Nagomu**
you meet, face-to-face!
**[07:48] Nagomu**
Congratulations!
**[07:50] Nagomu**
May there be happiness for

**[07:53] Tadashi**
* Ryokushou-san, we'd like to be*

**[07:56] Nagomu**
That's it!
**[07:58] Nagomu**
Excuse me!
**[08:01] Nagomu**
Are you alone?
**[08:03] Nagomu**
Will you let me buy you a drink?
**[08:06] Nagomu**
I'm not anyone suspicious. I'm actually...
**[08:09] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[08:12] Nagomu**
Oh no!
**[08:14] Nagomu**
I think I might have left
the gas on in the workshop!
**[08:17] Saki**
That's terrible!
**[08:18] Saki**
If you don't check that properly, you...
**[08:21] Nagomu**
For real?
**[08:28] Saki**
Ever since I was little,
**[08:29] ---**
there's been stuff about my family,
my brother, my parents' expectations...
**[08:34] Saki**
I had nowhere to escape to.
***SIGN*** Zaimoku

***SIGN*** Minami-Daikokubashi Street
**[08:37] Saki**
Then, while I still wasn't sure what I
wanted to do, when I went to university...
**[08:43] Saki**
I was in a cross-dressing
café for a school festival.
**[08:45] Saki**
And it made me feel light,
like everything was easier.
**[08:48] Saki**
So, it's become a habit to do
this when stuff goes wrong.
**[08:54] Saki**
I shouldn't have made the
photo my lock screen.
**[08:57] Saki**
But having it there... every time I see it,
I remember there's another me...
**[09:02] Saki**
and it makes me feel calmer.
**[09:05] Saki**
But I won't do this anymore.
**[09:08] Saki**
Itsuka-chan has been helping me with things.
**[09:12] Nagomu**
Huh? Wait! She knows?!
**[09:14] Saki**
Yes.
**[09:16] Saki**
I dropped my makeup kit in
front of Itsuka-chan once.
**[09:20] Saki**
Since then, she's known.
**[09:22] Saki**
She said, "There must be places it's
hard for a guy to go into alone,"
**[09:25] Saki**
and she's been going with me
to those places to buy things.
**[09:29] Saki**
I'm sorry. I'll go now.
**[09:33] Nagomu**
Wait.
**[09:36] Nagomu**
The way you look right now...
**[09:38] Nagomu**
You can draw a line under things. How about it?
**[09:47] Heigo**
An order?
**[09:49] Heigo**
Well, if there's a request,
I'll make it, but...
**[09:51] Heigo**
It seems a little suspicious.
**[09:52] Nagomu**
No, no! It isn't anything strange!
**[09:55] Nagomu**
*This is bad!*
**[09:56] Nagomu**
* I didn't think my everyday actions*
* would affect things like this!*
**[10:00] Itsuka**
I'm the one who asked for it.
**[10:02] Itsuka**
But I thought it would seem strange
for a child to place an order.
**[10:07] Itsuka**
Please, will you do it?
**[10:08] Heigo**
Well, I guess I've got no choice.
**[10:11] Nagomu**
You're not even asking her for a reason!
**[10:15] Nagomu**
Are you sure about this? If he
finds out, he'll be angry with you.
**[10:18] Itsuka**
If I hadn't stepped up, your whole
plan would have fallen apart there.
**[10:22] Itsuka**
That's what happens when someone
untrustworthy tries to do things.
**[10:26] Itsuka**
This is for Saki-kun, right?
**[10:28] Itsuka**
It's not like I've got no connection to this.
**[10:40] Tadashi**
I-Is this real?
**[10:43] Tadashi**
Um, I saw a photo of you and—
**[10:45] Saki**
Shh!
**[10:49] Tadashi**
A letter?
**[10:51] Tadashi**
W-Wait!
**[10:52] Tadashi**
At least tell me... your name.
**[11:04] Saki**
*Excuse my abruptness.*
**[11:05] Saki**
*I heard that you've been looking for me.*
**[11:09] Saki**
*Thank you.*
**[11:12] Saki**
* And I apologize for the rude way*
* my cousin Saki spoke to you.*
**[11:19] Saki**
*Tsukiyama-sama, I am engaged to be married.*
**[11:25] Saki**
* In the summer, the green maple*
* leaves are called "kaede,"*
**[11:27] Saki**
* In the fall, they change colors,*
* turning crimson, and become "momiji."*
**[11:31] Saki**
* As you think of their transformation,*
* I hope you will understand.*
**[11:37] Tadashi**
The flower language of kaede is "restraint,"
"self-control," and "precious memories."
**[11:45] Tadashi**
And the taste...
**[11:47] Tadashi**
is sweet...
**[11:48] Tadashi**
and heartbreaking.
**[11:51] Nagomu**
Sweets don't just express the seasons.
**[11:54] Nagomu**
They can also represent
scenes and emotions.
**[11:57] Nagomu**
There's no limit to what they can express.
**[12:01] Nagomu**
Though both the giver and the
receiver have to do their research.
**[12:07] Itsuka**
In that case, the fact that
you wrote that letter...
**[12:09] Itsuka**
must mean that you've done a whole lot
of research on women's hearts, right?
**[12:18] Nagomu**
Say, Saki-kun.
**[12:20] Nagomu**
I have a favor to ask.

**[13:36] Fuki**
I've heard from everyone at Kafuuen
that you're being very helpful.
**[13:41] Kanoko**
Not at all. I'm still not used to

**[14:09] Kanoko**
Ankoro mochi is something you have on

**[14:13] Fuki**
It's also called doyou mochi,
or "midsummer mochi,"
**[14:15] Fuki**
and it's said to help beat the summer heat.
**[14:17] Fuki**
It's one of the sweets that has

**[15:22] Nagomu**
More than that, I want
to thank you for coming.
**[15:25] Nagomu**
If it were just Itsuka,
that would be one thing.
**[15:27] Nagomu**
But going to the pool with my

**[15:29] Saki**
Then wouldn't it have been

**[15:31] Nagomu**
It's a free ticket to a pool!
**[15:33] Nagomu**
It's hot every day! I want

Yes. Of course.

*I haven't really played guitar lately.*

Nagomu, the sweat and oil from

So you have to be careful of that.
**[17:26] Nagomu**
*Senpai...*
**[17:28] Nagomu**
*I wonder how he's doing.*
**[17:31] Nagomu**
*He taught me how to play guitar.*
**[17:33] Nagomu**
*And he formed a band with me.*

*He used to come over to hang out a lot, too.*

**[18:19] Nagomu**
It's just...
**[18:20] Nagomu**
Why did you come to Kyoto?
**[18:24] Nagomu**
And decide to live here, too.
**[18:26] Nagomu**
What you're doing seems pretty reckless.
**[18:29] Kanoko**
I told you. The timing all worked.
**[18:35] Kanoko**
I found a place to work, and our manager
showed me a place I could live.
**[18:40] Kanoko**
Everything I needed to start

**[18:44] Kanoko**
It was the same for you, wasn't it?
You came back because the timing was right.

Hey.
**[19:07] Nagomu**
Hmm?
**[19:08] Kanoko**
Are you not going to even
touch the guitar anymore?
**[19:10] Nagomu**
No, I touch it every day. And I practice
the hand motions for playing.
**[19:15] Nagomu**
But my fingers start
rotating before I know it.

They what?

It's called "houan."

**[19:33] Nagomu**
Understand what?
**[19:35] Kanoko**
Oh, the other two are back!

"Let's do something that

You think so? Well, I suppose
a little burn isn't too bad.

**[21:23] Itsuka**
Kanoko-san, are you all right?
**[21:26] Kanoko**
With what?
**[21:27] Itsuka**
Having the person who dumped you so nearby...

Isn't it exhausting?
**[21:35] Kanoko**
Well, it can't be the same

**[21:41] Kanoko**
Now that I've seen him earnestly
trying to do what he can...
**[21:44] Kanoko**
It's made me want to watch over him.

It'd be nice to use "like" or
"hate" to have a clean break,

Someone who sinks like a stone is a little...
**[22:07] Kanoko**
Oh, I know, right?
**[22:10] Kanoko**
Now that I think about it, there wasn't
anything to add to the "plus" column.
**[22:14] Saki**
Will you be able to go in the onsen?
**[22:17] Nagomu**
It might be... rough.

The library.

Oh, yeah. Yesterday she was writing

**[00:25] Fuki**
Very different from you wailing on the

*Wow...*
**[02:23] Mitsuru**
*They have quite a few books about wagashi here.*
**[02:27] Itsuka**
Mitsuru-chan!
**[02:28] Mitsuru**
I-Itsuka-chan?
**[02:30] Itsuka**
Are you looking for something?
**[02:31] Mitsuru**
Oh, no! I was just thinking maybe I could
make some snacks for my little brothers.
**[02:36] Itsuka**
Wagashi? In that case, why don't you
try asking everyone at Ryokushou?
**[02:40] Mitsuru**
What? Ask Nagomu-san?!
**[02:41] Itsuka**
It's not limited just to him.

**[02:53] Itsuka**
Are you sure you didn't
want to borrow any books?
**[02:56] Mitsuru**
Yes. I thought I'd ask for their
requests and then go back.
**[03:00] Kanoko**
* I got to leave work early, so maybe I'll*
* stretch my legs and go somewhere lively.*
**[03:05] Mitsuru**
You're not helping at the shop today?
**[03:08] Itsuka**
That's right! They said to go have fun.
**[03:10] Mitsuru**
Yay! Then, today we should—
**[03:13] Kanoko**
Itsuka-chan!
**[03:14] Itsuka**
Kanoko-san!
**[03:15] Kanoko**
You startled me. You're not in the shop today?
**[03:18] Itsuka**
I got a day off. What about you, Kanoko-san?
**[03:22] Kanoko**
The manager and the others have a tea party
this afternoon, so I asked to leave early.
**[03:26] Kanoko**
Oh, is this your friend?
**[03:29] Mitsuru**
N-Nice to meet you.
My name is Horikawa Mitsuru.
**[03:32] ---**
I work part-time at Ryokushou.
**[03:34] Kanoko**
Oh, that's right! I didn't recognize
you in your regular clothes.
**[03:38] Mitsuru**
I've seen you a few times, too.
I heard that you're a friend of Nagomu-san's.
**[03:43] Kanoko**
That's right, his friend.
**[03:45] Kanoko**
I'm Matsukaze Kanoko. Nice to meet you.
**[03:51] Kanoko**
Are you two headed somewhere?
**[03:53] Itsuka**
To have lunch at a nearby soba restaurant.
**[03:56] Kanoko**
Oh, that sounds good! Can I come with you?
**[03:59] Mitsuru**
Please do!
**[03:59] Kanoko**
Thank you! I was wondering
what restaurant to go to.

**[04:06] Kanoko**
Having soba is a little old-fashioned
for us young people, isn't it?
**[04:09] Mitsuru**
Actually, we were just talking about wagashi,
**[04:12] Mitsuru**
so we both started craving warabi mochi.
**[04:16] Kanoko**
Oh, I see.

Right?
**[04:23] Kanoko**
I think we're going to get along great!

**[04:31] Kanoko**
Let's see. You're both still
on summer vacation, right?
**[04:34] Kanoko**
What do you do for lunch?
**[04:37] Itsuka**
I always have what they make
for the staff at the shop.
**[04:39] Kanoko**
Then does Nagomu have that, too?
**[04:41] Itsuka**
Yes. People go eat whenever they're free.
**[04:44] Itsuka**
But Nagomu-san is at the bottom of
the hierarchy, so he always goes last.
**[04:47] Kanoko**
Really...
**[04:48] Itsuka**
But everyone only takes about
ten minutes to eat, so...
**[04:51] Kanoko**
Oh, well, they are really busy.
**[04:54] Kanoko**
But eating that fast... I feel like
he'd get food stuck in his throat.
**[04:58] Nagomu**
W-Water...
**[04:59] Kanoko**
But I guess he isn't that silly.
**[05:04] Mitsuru**
We have bento at my place sometimes.
**[05:07] Mitsuru**
My oldest brother has
soccer practice, you see.
**[05:09] Mitsuru**
But when we made one for him,
the littler ones got jealous,
**[05:13] Mitsuru**
so we make them for everyone.
**[05:15] Kanoko**
Wow, that's really sweet of you.
**[05:17] Kanoko**
Back when I was in Tokyo, I had bento, too.
**[05:21] Kanoko**
Making them yourself is better,
**[05:23] ---**
but thinking about what to
make was too much work, so...
**[05:25] Mitsuru**
I understand. With the side dishes and things,
you tend to get into a pattern, right?
**[05:29] Kanoko**
That's right. For Nagomu especially,
he likes kids' food.
**[05:33] Kanoko**
When I used things like chicken karaage,
or hamburger patties, he was so happy.
**[05:38] Kanoko**
Since a lot of it could be frozen,
it did make things easier, but still.
**[05:40] Mitsuru**
You made Nagomu-san's bento for him, too?
**[05:44] Kanoko**
Yes, but that was only
up until six months ago.
**[05:50] Kanoko**
Hm?

**[06:00] Itsuka**
Right, Mitsuru-chan?
**[06:02] Mitsuru**
Right.
***SIGN*** Soba Restaurant
**[06:07] Kanoko**
Oh, that was delicious!
**[06:09] Kanoko**
I think I'll go there again.
**[06:13] Itsuka**
Mitsuru-chan, are you okay?
**[06:15] Mitsuru**
Why do you ask?
**[06:16] Itsuka**
I feel like you seem a little down.
**[06:18] Mitsuru**
You think so? I'm completely fine.
**[06:20] Mitsuru**
After all, during the period
where Kanoko-san didn't know
**[06:23] ---**
what Nagomu-san was doing, I did.
**[06:24] Mitsuru**
And the same goes for you, right, Itsuka-chan?
**[06:30] Kanoko**
Wow, you play guitar, too,
Mitsuru-chan? You're so cool!
**[06:34] Mitsuru**
Kanoko-san, you don't play?
***SIGN*** Country
**[06:36] Kanoko**
Oh, well, I just liked to listen.
**[06:39] Kanoko**
Is that a book you were looking for?
**[06:41] Mitsuru**
The band Nagomu-san was in
played some country music,
**[06:45] ---**
so I started wondering about it.
**[06:47] Kanoko**
Really?
***SIGN*** Toriyama Instruments
**[06:51] Kanoko**
Now that I think about it,
**[06:53] Kanako**
Nagomu said he was looking for a senpai
of his who was supposed to be in Tokyo.
**[06:58] Kanoko**
But he never found him.
**[07:01] Kanoko**
I wonder if maybe he was sort of
waiting for an opportunity to quit.
**[07:08] Mitsuru**
But I really love Nagomu-san's
guitar playing.
**[07:13] Kanoko**
What a coincidence. So do I.
**[07:16] Kanoko; Mitsuru**
We're just the same.
**[07:18] Kanoko**
Itsuka-chan, what's wrong?
**[07:20] Itsuka**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[07:25] Itsuka**
There's a jinja over there.
**[07:28] Kanoko**
You're right!
**[07:29] Kanoko**
Jinja and Buddhist temples really are
everywhere in Kyoto, aren't they?
**[07:39] Kanoko**
Two bows, two claps,
then one bow. Is that right?
**[07:42] Mitsuru**
Yes.
**[07:52] Kanoko**
Oh, omikuji!

**[08:28] Itsuka**
I'll tie it here.
**[08:31] Kanoko**
I know!
**[08:33] Kanoko**
Let's go pull some omikuji
at a different jinja!
**[08:36] Itsuka**
Are we allowed to do that?
**[08:38] Kanoko**
We'll entrust these ones to the deities here.

tachibana orange and became the founder of confections, and Hayashijouin
no Mikoto, who is said to have been the first in Japan to make manju.
**[08:48] Kanoko**
It's a shrine on the grounds of
Yoshida Jinja called Kaso Jinja.
**[08:52] Kanoko**
A long time ago, by the emperor's command,
**[08:55] Kanoko**
Tajimamori no Mikoto was sent on a journey
seeking the Tokijiku no Kagu Fruit.
***SIGN*** Kaso Jinja
**[09:00] Kanoko**
He was was enshrined as a god of sweets at
the Nakashima Jinja in Hyogo Prefecture,
**[09:06] Kanako**
and Kaso Jinja is a branch of that shrine.
**[09:10] Mitsuru**
Oh! There are so many names
of confectionery shops here!
**[09:18] Kanako**
Now that I think about it, I wonder
what the Tokijiku no Kagu Fruit was.
**[09:23] Mitsuru**
Um... It seems it was a miraculous
medicine that granted immortality.
**[09:27] Mitsuru**
And now they're known as
"tachibana," or mikan oranges.
**[09:31] Kanoko**
Wow! Starting this year,
I'm going to eat tons of them!
**[09:36] Kanoko**
Both of you, is this your
first trip to Kaso Jinja?
**[09:39] Mitsuru**
I've been to other parts of
Yoshida Jinja a bunch of times.
**[09:42] Mitsuru**
In February, they hold a festival for Setsubun.
**[09:45] Itsuka**
When I was little, I went to the
Setsubun Festival here... just once.
**[09:53] Itsuka**
The only memory I have of it
is the oni making me cry a lot.
**[09:59] Kanoko**
Th-That would be traumatic.
**[10:02] Mitsuru**
But it's fun, too, you know?
**[10:04] Mitsuru**
There are stalls set up from here all
the way down to the bottom of the hill.
**[10:08] Mitsuru**
And it can stand up to Kyoto's three biggest
festivals for how crowded and lively it is!
**[10:13] Kanoko**
Really? I'd like to see that!
**[10:15] Mitsuru**
Then, let's go next year! We'll arrange
our schedules and all go together!
**[10:18] Kanoko**
In that case, shouldn't you
invite Nagomu first?
**[10:22] Itsuka**
*Kanoko-san?*
**[10:23] Kanoko**
If you take him to a jinja
for sweets, I'm sure he'd love it!
**[10:27] Mitsuru**
No, for this kind of thing, laughing and
having fun with just us girls is better, right?
**[10:32] Mitsuru**
And I want to become better
friends with you, Kanoko-san.
**[10:36] Kanoko**
I feel the same!

What is it, Itsuka-chan?
**[11:13] Itsuka**
I was just thinking that I'm glad
it looks like you're having fun.
**[11:16] Itsuka**
I thought you might be
worrying over Kanoko-san.
**[11:20] Mitsuru**
Oh, you mean her relationship
with Nagomu-san?
**[11:22] Mitsuru**
She said they've already broken up.
**[11:25] Mitsuru**
Instead of being resentful toward her,
**[11:26] ---**
being friends will make Nagomu-san
feel better later, right?
**[11:30] Itsuka**
*What?*
**[11:31] Kanoko**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[11:33] Mitsuru**
How did it look?
**[11:34] Kanoko**
It said the bus will come in 20 minutes.
**[11:37] Mitsuru**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[11:38] Mitsuru**
Hello, Mom?
**[11:41] Kanoko**
What is it, Itsuka-chan?
**[11:43] Itsuka**
Nothing, it's just...
**[11:44] Itsuka**
I feel like you're being considerate
of Mitsuru-chan's feelings.
**[11:49] Kanoko**
Oh, yes, she does seem to like Nagomu.
**[11:53] Kanoko**
But, well, she's only a
high schooler, after all.
**[11:55] Kanoko**
Going along with someone who's of an age
to be in love with the idea of love...
**[11:58] Kanoko**
Nagomu's got no time for that sort of thing.
**[12:01] Mitsuru**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[12:03] Kanoko**
Is everything all right?
**[12:04] Mitsuru**
Yes. I was asked to pick up
ingredients for dinner tonight.
**[12:07] Kanoko**
Oh, I have to buy some things too.
I need to bring back my bento-making.
**[12:12] Mitsuru**
I know! We should exchange bento sometime!
**[12:15] Kanoko**
Sounds good! Let's do it!

father is most anxious.
**[16:03] Fuki**
The one who knows Ryokushou's flavors
best is his mother, after all.
**[16:08] Fuki**
Whenever she comes back, he asks
her to check the an like that.
**[16:14] Shizuyo**
Yes, that's fine.
**[16:19] Shizuyo**
The an is the cornerstone
of everything for us.
**[16:21] Shizuyo**
Taking care of Ryokushou's
flavors is your job now.
**[16:26] Heigo**
I know that.
**[16:27] Shizuyo**
Please do well.
**[16:30] Nagomu**
Dad...
**[16:32] Nagomu**
I can't tell if he's angry with
Grandma or if he really trusts her.
**[16:37] Fuki**
What are you talking about?
**[16:39] Fuki**
That's just what relationships are like.
**[16:41] Fuki**
It's fine if you don't understand.
**[16:44] Fuki**
Work hard at your training.
**[16:46] Fuki**
Starting tomorrow, your grandmother
will be instructing you.
**[16:50] Nagomu**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Traditional Confectionery
***SIGN*** Ryokushou
**[16:55] Nagomu**
Ow!
**[16:57] Shizuyo**
With that poor posture and lack of nerve,
do you really think you can move snappily?
**[17:01] Nagomu**
Yes, ma'am!
***SIGN*** Don't forget to

**[17:02] Shizuyo**

**[17:03] Nagomu**
Yes, ma'am!
**[17:06] Shizuyo**
Don't spill the flour!
**[17:07] Nagomu**
I'll spill even more if you do that!
**[17:09] Shizuyo**
You have to take action after
thinking two or three steps ahead.
**[17:12] Shizuyo**
If you wait for direction,
you'll never improve!
**[17:13] Nagomu**
Yes, ma'am!
**[17:21] Nagomu**
That Zen striking stick...
I didn't know she still used it.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Shizuyo**
Letting your summer homework
pile up like this...
**[17:28] (Flashback) Shizuyo**
If you don't start anticipating two or
three steps ahead, what will you do?
**[17:32] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Yes, ma'am!
**[17:34] Nagomu**
* This year's Obon... Am I gonna*
* live to see the end of it?*
**[17:40] Fuki**
Are you worried?
**[17:42] Itsuka**
N-No, it's nothing like that!
**[17:45] Shizuyo**
Hey! Once you've used a tool,
put it back where you found it!
**[17:49] Nagomu**
Yes, ma'am!
**[17:55] Kazuteru**
*When I met her, she was always so shy.*
**[17:59] Kazuteru**
*Once she started helping me with work,*
**[18:02] Kazuteru**
*she'd steel herself and work fiercely.*
**[18:05] Kazuteru**
The cuteness of the grandson
she hasn't seen for ten years
**[18:07] Kazuteru**
is probably making her even more fired up.
**[18:10] Kazuteru**
Well, it's only for a little while.
Keep at it with her, won't you?
**[18:15] Nagomu**
*I had another dream about Grandpa.*
**[18:22] Nagomu**
*I guess I might as well wake up.*
**[18:33] Shizuyo**
Kazuteru-san,
**[18:35] Shizuyo**
watch over everyone's work
again today, won't you?
**[18:41] Nagomu**
*Maybe I'll dawdle just a little longer.*
**[18:48] Shizuyo**
You overslept!
**[18:49] Nagomu**
I'm sorry!
***SIGN*** Traditional Confectionery
***SIGN*** Ryokushou
**[18:55] Shizuyo**
Well, thank you for coming!
**[18:56] customer A**
It's Obon, so I came to do some sightseeing!
**[18:58] customer A**
You have such a nice shop here.
**[18:59] Nagomu**
Who are they?
**[19:00] Fuki**
She said she met them
while she was traveling.
**[19:02] Shizuyo**
Oh, thank you so much!
**[19:03] Fuki**
A lot of others have come, too.
**[19:05] Fuki**
They stop by, saying that they've
heard about this place from her.
**[19:08] Shizuyo; background**
Itsuka-chan, you look very cute.
**[19:08] Nagomu**
Wow.
**[19:09] Fuki**
She says she just wanders
around wherever she wants,
**[19:12] customer A; background**
Yes, she does look adorable.
And such a good worker.
**[19:13] Fuki**
but she's always thinking of us and the shop.
**[19:17] Shizuyo; background**
Isn't she?
**[19:18] Nagomu**
Really...
**[19:23] Shizuyo**
Tomorrow is the 16th, isn't it?
**[19:25] Shizuyo**
Itsuka-chan, Nagomu! Tomorrow,
let's go write our gomagi sticks.
**[19:29] Shizuyo**
We'll leave at six in the morning.
***SIGN*** Philosopher's Path
**[19:38] Shizuyo**
It's so nice and cool at
this time of day, isn't it?
**[19:42] Itsuka**
Do we just keep going up this way?
**[19:44] Shizuyo**
Yes, straight that way is Ginkakuji.
**[19:46] Shizuyo**
Behind it is the mountain
where they set Daimonji.
**[19:49] Nagomu**
This is the first time I've written gomagi.
**[19:53] Shizuyo**
What? Is it?
**[19:55] Shizuyo**
The first time I went was
with your grandfather.
**[20:00] Shizuyo**
We'd just started Ryokushou,
and we were so busy.
**[20:05] Shizuyo**
We went around introducing the shop,
so that people would remember the name.
**[20:10] Shizuyo**
And we often went to entreat the gods, too.
**[20:12] Shizuyo**
These gomagi were one
of the ways we did that.
***SIGN*** Prosperous
Business
***SIGN*** Prosperous
Business
**[20:15] Shizuyo**
Both of us wrote "prosperous business" on them.
**[20:18] Shizuyo**
We laughed so hard, saying,
"You wrote the same thing!"
**[20:22] Itsuka**
So the gomagi will be burned up the
mountain where the kanji is written?
***SIGN*** Dai
**[20:27] Shizuyo**
That's right.
**[20:28] Shizuyo**
And then our ancestors who
have come to visit us
**[20:31] ---**
will go back with them into the sky.
**[20:33] Shizuyo**
So, have you both written yours?
**[20:35] Itsuka**
Yes.
***SIGN*** Earnest

**[20:37] Shizuyo**
Nagomu has, "improving
artistic accomplishments."
***SIGN*** Improving

***SIGN*** Earnest

**[20:39] Shizuyo**
And Itsuka-chan has,
"earnest wishes realized."
**[20:41] Shizuyo**
Very nice!
**[20:43] Nagomu**
Grandma, did you write
"prosperous business" again?
**[20:46] Shizuyo**
No, I wrote...
**[20:47] Shizuyo**
this.
***SIGN*** Long Life and
Good Fortune
**[20:49] Nagomu**
Huh? Long life?
**[20:51] Shizuyo**
Why are you so surprised?
**[20:52] Nagomu**
No, I just thought you'd ask
for something about the shop.
**[20:55] Shizuyo**
I've already done that more than enough.
I'm sure the Buddha is sick of hearing it.
**[21:00] Shizuyo**
There are still places
I want to go, after all.
**[21:03] Shizuyo**
And...
**[21:05] Shizuyo**
I have to watch you become a
full-fledged artisan in his place.
**[21:21] Itsuka**
Is something wrong?
**[21:23] Nagomu**
No, it's nothing.
***SIGN*** Dai
***SIGN*** KYOTO'S FIVE MOUNTAIN SEND-OFF FIRES
**[21:29] Shizuyo**
Yes, leisurely watching it

**[21:32] Shizuyo**
You can see all the mountains this way.
**[21:37] Fuki**
Mother, please have some kuzu manju.
**[21:40] Fuki**
We're having them in place of send-off dango.
**[21:42] Shizuyo**
Thank you.
**[21:49] Shizuyo**
Yes.
***SIGN*** Dai
**[21:51] Shizuyo**
The flavor is perfect.
**[23:31] Fuki**
A postcard from Mother has arrived.
**[23:33] Fuki**
Apparently, she's in Tohoku right now,
helping with a friend's shop.
**[23:38] Nagomu**
So that's how she makes her money.
**[23:41] Shizuyo**
* P.S. I'm not as good with*
* the striking stick as I was.*
**[23:44] Shizuyo**
*I'll train at a temple before I come back.*
**[23:46] Nagomu**
Grandma! You don't have to do that anymore!

It's the district sports festival.

**[00:10] Heigo**
Even though they're the same thing,
**[00:11] Heigo**
the name changes depending on the season.
**[00:13] Nagomu**
Which name's the right one?
**[00:16] Masa**
Both of them.

Yes, coming!

come when you're so busy.
**[00:27] Maeda**

**[02:22] Yui**
Are you going to be in the sports festival?
**[02:24] Mako**
I've got cram school in the afternoon,
so I'm only doing the morning events.
**[02:27] Yui**
I'm doing the whole thing. My dad and
older brother are really excited about it.
**[02:31] Itsuka**
We probably have work,
so I'm not sure if I will.
**[02:34] Yui**
Oh, right. The shop is open
on Sundays, too, isn't it?
**[02:37] Itsuka**
Plus, last year, the old man hurt his back,
and they had to call an ambulance.
**[02:41] Heigo**
* I can't! I can't go on! Take down*
* my last words! Lawyer!*
**[02:44] Mako**
The thing where he broke the tape
at the finish line even as he fell.
**[02:46] Yui**
And he got the award for
fighting spirit, didn't he?
**[02:49] Yui**
Mako-chan, what time does your
class start? What will you do for lunch?
**[02:52] Mako**
I'll have a bento somewhere
in the neighborhood.
**[02:54] Yui**
Then let's all eat together!
**[02:57] Yui**
You, too, Itsuka-chan!
**[02:58] Itsuka**
Y-Yeah. If I can make it.

The tea shops are closed that day.
**[04:02] Masa**
We'll be busy right through
the day before, though.

This year we have young master

I thought it might work.
**[04:59] Fuki**
I'm sorry, Nagomu.
**[05:00] Fuki**
It's all because I asked you
to be like a father to her.

Did you say that to me?

That forgetfulness of yours

If you're back, you should've gotten in touch.
**[07:49] Nagomu**
Sorry.
**[07:51] Kazuyan**
You're helping at your parents' place,
right? What about your guitar?
**[07:54] Nagomu**
I play sometimes.
**[07:55] Kazuyan**
Is the girl you were cheering for
the one who's staying with you?
**[07:59] Nacchan**
I heard that her parents aren't around,
so Ryokushou's taking care of her, right?
**[08:02] Kazuyan**
That must be tough.
**[08:03] Kazuyan**
She's not even related to you, right?
**[08:05] Nagomu**
It's not like that. Itsuka's a

Huh? Who's he entered with?
**[08:56] Fuki**
With you.
**[08:57] Nagomu**
I never heard anything about it!

They were short one team, so he entered.
**[09:03] Nagomu**
Honestly, at his age...
**[09:05] Nagomu**
But I'm pretty worn out, too.
**[09:10] Nagomu**
It seems impossible at this point.

Hey! It's ohagi!

Anko has iron, polyphenols, and dietary fiber,
and they're good for a tired body.
**[09:22] Itsuka**
Someone said that to me once.
**[09:26] Itsuka**
You said that if you entered with me,
we'd be like parent and child, right?
**[09:32] Nagomu**
Mom...

Excuse me...
**[10:21] Shinri**
Is there a girl named Yukihira Itsuka here?
**[10:25] Fuki**
What did you say?
**[10:27] Fuki**
Oh, what should we do?
**[10:29] Fuki**
For now, I'll come back before everyone else.
**[10:31] Fuki**
Yes, I'm sorry.
**[10:33] Nagomu**
What is it? Something wrong?
**[10:39] Nagomu**
What?
**[10:39] Nagomu**
Itsuka's... mother?
**[10:48] Nagomu**
Where's Itsuka?
**[10:50] Fuki**
She must have been tired. After all,
she did do amazingly well.
**[10:53] Fuki**
She's fast asleep.
**[11:00] Fuki**
After the sports festival,
**[11:02] Fuki**
I spoke with Itsuka's mother a little, but...
**[11:06] Fuki**
I asked if she might come back
again tomorrow afternoon.
**[11:11] Nagomu; Heigo**
What?
**[11:12] Fuki**
Let me just say that what
you're eating right now
**[11:14] Fuki**
are snacks that she gave us.
**[11:20] Nagomu**
I mean... suddenly being told
she'll be coming here...
**[11:33] Fuki**
Then, today you'll meet up with Mitsuru-chan
and do your homework there, all right?
**[11:39] Itsuka**
Yes. I'll be going now.
**[11:44] Nagomu**
Bye. Be safe.
**[11:47] Itsuka**
I'm going now.
**[11:50] Nagomu**
Be careful out there!
**[11:54] Itsuka**
Enough already! Please go back inside!

**[12:15] Shinri**
I'm sorry for intruding
so suddenly yesterday.
**[12:19] Shinri**
Pleased to meet you.
My name is Yukihira Shinri.
**[12:24] Shinri**
I am Itsuka's mother.
**[12:30] Nagomu**
*She's really her mother.*
**[12:32] Heigo**
I'm the master of Ryokushou, Irino Heigo.
**[12:36] Heigo**
Hey!
**[12:37] Nagomu**
I'm his son, Nagomu.
**[12:41] Shinri**
Where is Itsuka?
**[12:43] Fuki**
She's still at school.
**[12:45] Fuki**
And since this is all so sudden,
we haven't told her we're doing this.
**[12:49] Shinri**
I understand.
**[12:52] Shinri**
I would like to formally thank you
for looking after Itsuka.
**[12:56] Heigo**
Oh, no. Please, raise your head.
**[13:00] Heigo**
And, well, we'd be happy
to keep Itsuka with us...
**[13:01] Shinri**
I'd like to cut straight to the point.
**[13:04] Shinri**
I've come to collect Itsuka.
**[13:07] Heigo; Nagomu**
*Of course she has.*
**[13:09] Shinri**
I've been looking for her all this time.
**[13:12] Shinri**
My husband and I have been
separated for five years.
**[13:15] Shinri**
Right now, I live with my parents in France.
**[13:18] Shinri**
But I've never forgotten her,
not even for a moment.
**[13:22] Shinri**
I'd planned to leave her with my husband
just until I settled in over there.
**[13:27] Fuki**
Separated? He said you'd broken up.
**[13:29] Shinri**
We do plan to divorce...
**[13:32] Shinri**
But we decided to leave it at "separated"
until Itsuka comes of age.
**[13:36] Shinri**
My husband's work takes
him from place to place,
**[13:39] Shinri**
so it was difficult to contact him.
**[13:41] Shinri**
And for the last year or so, even that
communication had broken off completely.
**[13:46] Shinri**
So I hired a detective agency
who eventually pointed me here.
***SIGN*** Yukihira-sama
***SIGN*** Investigation Report
**[13:51] Fuki**
An investigation report?
**[13:54] Fuki**
I also had them investigate Ryokushou.
**[13:58] Shinri**
They said that, in spite of the fact
that my husband thrust her upon you,
**[14:01] Shinri**
you've treated her like part of your family.
**[14:03] Heigo**
Of course Itsuka's part of the family.
**[14:06] Heigo**
She said that she'd inherit
Ryokushou one day.
**[14:08] Shinri**
She will not.
**[14:09] Heigo**
What?
**[14:09] Shinri**
At my side, Itsuka will live a life with
a much broader outlook. That is my intent.
**[14:15] Shinri**
More importantly, if you need an heir,
you have your son there, don't you?
**[14:19] Heigo**
Huh? Where?
**[14:21] Nagomu**
Could you please not deny that right now?
**[14:22] Shinri**
And an adult who's been a wastrel for
ten years will be a bad influence on her.
**[14:28] Shinri**
I beg of you. Please allow me to see Itsuka.
**[14:48] Heigo**
I'll go pack up Itsuka's things.
**[14:52] Fuki**
Otousan...
**[14:59] Nagomu**
Um... Where did you meet Itsuka's father?
**[15:04] Shinri**
Huh?
**[15:04] Nagomu**
I just... I play guitar too,
so I was wondering what he's like.
**[15:09] Nagomu**
*That look is the same as Itsuka's!*
**[15:11] Nagomu**
For now, let me say, I'm sorry.
**[15:14] Shinri**
Kind. Friendly.
**[15:17] Shinri**
And utterly useless.
**[15:20] Shinri**
It's a common story.
**[15:22] Shinri**
He had qualities I thought were cute
when we were dating
**[15:25] Shinri**
that, once we were married, I realized
were the qualities of a spoiled child.
**[15:30] Shinri**
I've always loved working,
**[15:33] Shinri**
so I worked really hard
as the family's main support.
**[15:36] Shinri**
But everything just slipped further
and further from what I'd hoped for.
**[15:41] Shinri**
*Itsuka...*
**[15:43] (Flashback) Shinri**
Mama's going to go sort of far away.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Shinri**
So you should come with me, too.
**[15:48] (Flashback) Itsuka**
The one going with you
isn't Itsuka, it's Work, right?
**[15:54] (Flashback) Itsuka**
Bye-bye!
**[15:58] Shinri**
My heart broke.
**[16:00] Nagomu**
Yeah, it would break.
**[16:02] Shinri**
You must have wondered why
I've never visited until now.
**[16:05] Nagomu**
No, I never...
**[16:07] Shinri**
I really could have visited at any time.
**[16:10] Shinri**
But the thought of Itsuka right there,
**[16:13] Shinri**
saying "bye-bye" to me again... it scared me.
**[16:17] Shinri**
"There's no one by her side right now."
**[16:21] Shinri**
"I want to help her, to be her strength."
**[16:24] Shinri**
I want to get back the time I lost
through my lack of courage.
**[16:29] Nagomu**
Don't worry.
**[16:32] Nagomu**
You're parent and child, right?
**[16:36] Nagomu**
Itsuka never asks anyone for anything.
**[16:39] Nagomu**
I think it's because, deep in her heart,
she knows who it is she should be asking.
**[16:46] Nagomu**
Go make Itsuka a "spoiled child."

**[18:10] Shinri**
Shall we order something? You must be hungry.
**[18:15] Shinri**
What should we get?
**[18:18] Itsuka**
Tsukimi dango.
**[18:21] Itsuka**
Tonight's the 15th night,
the Autumn Moon.
**[18:25] server**
Thank you for waiting.
**[18:27] Shinri**
These are tsukimi dango?
**[18:30] Shinri**
They aren't shaped like the ones I know.
**[18:34] Itsuka**
In Kanto, they're shaped
to resemble the moon,
**[18:38] Itsuka**
but in Kansai, they're shaped
like satoimo potatoes.
**[18:42] Itsuka**
The Autumn Moon is a time to
give thanks for the harvest,
**[18:45] Itsuka**
but the thing that's in season at the
time happens to be satoimo potatoes,
**[18:50] Itsuka**
so that's what the mochi part of this is.
**[18:52] Itsuka**
The anko represents the clouds,
**[18:55] Itsuka**
and they say the whole thing is meant
to look like the moon hidden by clouds.
**[18:59] Shinri**
You certainly know a lot.
**[19:01] Shinri**
Papa taught me. He didn't
tell you about them, Mama?
**[19:06] Shinri**
I'm not sure.
**[19:08] Itsuka**
Papa said that he learned
from the old man at Ryokushou.
**[19:11] Itsuka**
Wagashi is fun, right?
**[19:15] Itsuka**
I want to know even more.
**[19:18] Itsuka**
More about the wagashi that Papa loves.
**[19:23] Shinri**
Are you having fun right now?
**[19:25] Itsuka**
Yes, lots of fun!
**[19:28] Itsuka**
Mama, thank you for coming to see me.
**[19:39] Nagomu**
It's already eight, isn't it?
**[19:41] Heigo**
Take a look, Nagomu.
**[19:44] Heigo**
It's a beautiful moon.
**[19:47] Heigo**
Kaguya-hime went home
to that beautiful place.
**[19:54] Heigo**
It was fun. I felt like I had a daughter.
**[19:59] Nagomu**
That should be "granddaughter," shouldn't it?
**[20:01] Heigo**
I'm not giving you any dango.
**[20:05] Nagomu**
*Itsuka's going away.*
**[20:08] Nagomu**
* When they say "a hole*
* opened up in my heart,"*
**[20:12] Nagomu**
*I wonder if this is the feeling they mean.*
**[20:15] Nagomu**
*And back when I left for Tokyo...*
**[20:18] Nagomu**
*I wonder if this is how Mom and Dad felt.*
**[20:23] Fuki**
Coming!
**[20:29] Itsuka**
I'm back!

Y-Y...
**[20:33] Heigo**

**[20:33] Nagomu**
What happened?!
**[20:35] Itsuka**
I'm sorry I'm so late.
We talked for a long time.
**[20:38] Nagomu**
No, not that. You were with your mother...
**[20:42] Nagomu**
Right?
**[20:43] Shinri**
I'm sorry. We're very late.
**[20:55] Shinri**
Itsuka told me.
**[20:58] (Flashback) Shinri**
Itsuka, aren't you lonely?
**[21:00] (Flashback) Shinri**
Without Papa and Mama with you...
**[21:05] (Flashback) Itsuka**
I was lonely, but...
**[21:08] (Flashback) Itsuka**
Now, everyone at Ryokushou is there for me.
**[21:11] (Flashback) Itsuka**
And they never let me feel alone.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Itsuka**
They say I'm part of the family.
**[21:16] (Flashback) Itsuka**
I like it here!
**[21:23] Shinri**
People she knows she can ask for anything...
**[21:28] Shinri**
It seems she has them here, too.
**[21:42] Itsuka**
I'm going!
**[21:43] Nagomu**
Stay sa— Oh!
**[21:44] Nagomu**
Itsuka!
**[21:52] Saki**
You traded contact info
with Itsuka-chan's mother?
**[21:55] Nagomu**
Yeah.
**[21:56] Nagomu**
After all, we can't give Itsuka a smartphone.
**[21:59] Nagomu**
So I'm giving updates in her place.
**[22:02] Nagomu**
I was told to send info about what
Itsuka's doing and pictures of her.
**[22:05] Nagomu**
It's a huge responsibility.
**[22:07] Nagomu**
The problem is...
**[22:09] Nagomu**
Even when she looks at
the camera, she won't smile for me.
**[22:13] Saki**
Really?
**[22:14] Saki**
She just looks a little shy to me.
**[22:16] Nagomu**
Saki-kun, you're so kind.

**[02:10] Saki**
Nagomu-san!
**[02:11] Nagomu**
That hit perfectly in my solar plexus.
**[02:13] Nagomu**

**[02:15] Hiiro**
I'm sorry. I was knocking, and I hit you.

Oh, you're here?
**[02:35] Heigo**
Fuki, look after her, would you?
**[02:38] Heigo**
I thought I'd have her sit out
and observe the workshop today.
**[02:41] Hiiro**
No, I'm fine. I can jump in right away.
**[02:45] Hiego**
Is that so?
**[02:47] Heigo**
Then show her to the changing room.
**[02:49] Fuki**
Of course.
**[02:54] Nagomu**
She seems like a serious girl.
**[02:56] Heigo**
I heard she completed confectionery
school with outstanding grades.

**[03:50] Nagomu**
Hm?
**[03:51] Heigo**
Start with teaching her how to clean.
**[03:54] Nagomu**
Are you sure? You're bringing her
in as extra help, aren't you?
**[03:58] Heigo**
We said she'd come to help,
but it's also half for training.
**[04:01] Heigo**
Her position is irrelevant.
**[04:04] Nagomu**
So...
**[04:06] Nagomu**
The cleaning equipment is under the
stairs behind this sliding door.
**[04:09] Hiiro**
Yes, sir!
**[04:10] Hiiro**
U-Um...
**[04:12] Nagomu**
Oh, you can call me Nagomu.
**[04:15] Nagomu**
Calling me Irino would get confusing, right?
**[04:18] Hiiro**
*So he* is *the son of Ryokushou's
master and mistress.*
**[04:21] Hiiro**
* To think that someone of his*
* standing would instruct me.*
**[04:24] Nagomu**
But I never thought I'd get someone
junior to me here so quickly.
**[04:29] Hiiro**
What? But I saw one young artisan...
**[04:31] Nagomu**
Saki-kun?
**[04:32] Nagomu**
He's my senpai.
**[04:35] Nagomu**
I was in Tokyo doing different
work up until this past spring,
**[04:38] Nagomu**
so in terms of training, I'm about
the same as you, Hiiro-chan.
**[04:41] Hiiro**
Then, did you come back with
the intent to inherit the shop?
**[04:44] Nagomu**
Oh, no. The successor's someone else.
**[04:47] Nagomu**
She's at school right now.
I'll introduce you later.
**[04:53] Nagomu**
* Now, the equipment for cleaning up*
* front is elsewhere, so...*
**[04:55] Hiiro**
* Then he isn't the successor or anything,*
* just a regular apprentice artisan,*
**[04:59] Hiiro**
*and on the same career path as me.*
**[05:01] Hiiro**
* No. Since I've spent two*
* years learning the basics,*
**[05:05] ---**
*he has less experience than me?*
**[05:07] Heigo**
Who did this? Who sorted these adzuki?!
**[05:10] Heigo**
I know who did it!
**[05:12] Heigo**
How many times have I told you?
You have to match the bean sizes!
**[05:18] Heigo**
Knock off that racket!
**[05:21] Nagomu**
Oh, I did it again!
**[05:23] Heigo**
Don't waste flour!
**[05:25] Hiiro**
* He makes too many mistakes.*
* His work is incredibly sloppy.*
**[05:28] Hiiro**
*How can he be so flawed?*
**[05:29] Itsuka**
I'm back!
**[05:30] Saki**
Welcome back.
**[05:34] Itsuka**
*Is she a new artisan here?*
**[05:41] Fuki**
How is Hiiro-chan working out?
**[05:44] Fuki**
I hear that lately, women are
the ones with more grit.
**[05:49] Heigo**
Well... they said that even at Hachiten,
she was known as a serious girl.
**[05:54] Heigo**
The way she notices things
and takes action is exactly
**[05:56] ---**
what you'd expect from an honors student.
**[05:58] Heigo**
It's just...
**[06:00] Heigo**
I get the feeling that she's working to make
absolutely sure she shows no weaknesses.
**[06:06] Heigo**
It reminds me of Itsuka
when she first came here.

Hello!
**[07:53] Itsuka**
Welcome!
**[07:55] Nagomu**
Obachan! Thanks for earlier!
**[07:58] Hiiro**
*Earlier?*
**[08:00] neighborhood lady 1**
After seeing your face, Nagomu-chan,
**[08:03] neighborhood lady 1**
I got a craving for sweets.
**[08:06] Nagomu**
Well, thank you!
**[08:08] neighborhood lady 1**
Now, let's see... I think...
**[08:12] Hiiro**
Once you've decided, please let me know.
**[08:15] neighborhood lady 1**
Oh! I'm so sorry.
**[08:19] neighborhood lady 1**
I always ask Nagomu-chan, you see.
**[08:24] Nagomu**
If you wouldn't mind, Obachan,
would you ask the artisan over there?
**[08:28] neighborhood lady 1**
Really? But she isn't very friendly.
**[08:32] neighborhood lady 1**
It's a little, you know...
**[08:35] Nagomu**
*That would be... a crack forming, right?*
**[08:40] customer 1**
Excuse me!
**[08:42] Hiiro**
How may I help you?
**[08:44] customer 1**
I want to buy something for my friend.
**[08:46] customer 1**
I'm going to Hokkaido tomorrow, but I don't
know when we're going to meet up.
**[08:50] Hiiro**
*It's all right. I must do this perfectly.*
**[08:53] customer 1**
Um...
**[08:54] Hiiro**
Y-Yes.
**[08:55] Hiiro**
If it's a gift, what do
you think about this set?
**[08:58] customer 1**
But these are namagashi sweets, aren't they?
**[09:01] ---**
I want something that will keep for days.
**[09:03] customer 1**
Weren't you listening?
**[09:06] Itsuka**
How about yokan?
**[09:09] Itsuka**
We have a seasonal item this month,
yokan with chestnuts inside.
**[09:13] Itsuka**
I really love it!
**[09:15] customer 1**
Yokan? That might work!
**[09:18] Itsuka**
We can change the assortment in the set, too.
**[09:20] Hiiro**
*Even though...*
**[09:21] Hiiro**
*a girl this young can do it...*
**[09:24] Hiiro**
*I...*
**[09:27] Nagomu**
A-Are you all right?
**[09:30] Hiiro**
I am training to become
a confectionery artisan.
**[09:34] Hiiro**
Doing something as pointless as interacting
with customers is unnecessary.
**[09:38] Hiiro**
Someone as flawed and frivolous
as you need not worry for me.
**[09:44] Itsuka**
You're wrong!
**[09:47] Itsuka**
It's true that Nagomu-san
makes a lot of mistakes,
**[09:50] ---**
and that he's in no position
to worry about others.
**[09:52] Itsuka**
But Nagomu-san cares for both the
sweets and the customers equally.
**[09:57] Nagomu**
Itsuka...
**[09:58] Itsuka**
That is not pointless!
**[10:00] Itsuka**
It's the most important thing!
**[10:03] Hiiro**
I...
**[10:05] Masa**
What is going on in this shop?
**[10:09] Nagomu**

**[10:10] Masa**
No matter the reason, artisans arguing
in front of the customers is inexcusable.
**[10:16] Masa**
It is not something you'll be praised for.
**[10:20] Itsuka; Nagomu**
I'm sorry.
**[10:22] Masa**
Good.
**[10:24] Hiiro**
I'll go cool off.

I...
**[11:16] Hiiro**
I wanted to always be perfect.
**[11:19] ---**
I thought there was nothing
I couldn't accomplish.
**[11:23] Hiiro**
So, because didn't want to admit my faults...
**[11:27] Hiiro**
I ended up speaking abusively.
**[11:30] Hiiro**
To be scolded like that at my age...
**[11:33] Hiiro**
If there were a hole, I'd crawl into it.
**[11:38] Masa**

I was worried you'd break.
**[12:11] Hiiro**
What?
**[12:13] Masa**
I remember you. You came and stared
with such focus at what I was doing.
**[12:19] Masa**
You've done well to make it here
to the world of wagashi.
**[12:24] Masa**
Take your time and enjoy it.
**[12:30] Hiiro**
I have a dream.
**[12:33] Hiiro**
I want to make sculpted sweets

**[15:52] Heigo**
Everyone, hello.
**[15:54] everyone**
Hello!
**[15:56] Heigo**
Today we'll be making two
premier namagashi sweets.
***SIGN*** • Greetings
• Introduction of today's traditional sweets
Cosmos Premier namagashi sweet: nerikiri dough
Nerikiri dough is made of sweetened bean paste steamed with glutinous rice flour as a binder to give it
a thicker, stickier texture. It's the most commonly used dough in making premier namagashi sweets and it's
simply anko which has been adapted. Sometimes nerikiri dough is shaped using wooden molds, but at our shop we use methods such as squeezing it in cloths and shaping it with spatulas, just as has been done since long ago.
Autumn Maple Premier namagashi sweet: kinton dough
Kinton is written "golden group," and it is a confection which is essential to the category of
premier namagashi sweets. The dough for the kinton is passed through a strainer kept especially for
this purpose, shredding the dough. The kinton dough fragments are then carefully placed around a small
ball of anko with chopsticks.
**[16:00] Heigo**
We'll be making cosmos with nerikiri
dough and momiji with kinton dough.
**[16:05] child**
Something pinker would have been better.
Like a sakura flower or something.
**[16:10] Nagomu**
Now, a quiz!
**[16:11] Nagomu**
Why are we doing cosmos and autumn maples?
**[16:14] child 2**
Because it's fall!
**[16:16] Nagomu**
Correct!
**[16:17] Nagomu**
Wagashi express the seasons.
**[16:21] Nagomu**
For example, in spring, sakura blossoms...
**[16:23] Nagomu**
In summer, goldfish...
**[16:25] Nagomu**
In fall, momiji...
**[16:26] Nagomu**
In winter, snow...
**[16:28] Nagomu**
There are all kinds.
**[16:31] Nagomu**
They say that long ago, people would realize
what season it was by looking at wagashi.
**[16:36] Nagomu**
That's how deeply wagashi
is a part of everyday life.
**[16:39] Nagomu**
Interesting, right?
**[16:40] Mako**
Anything's fine as long as it's yummy!
**[16:43] Nagomu**
Well, that's true.
**[16:45] Nagomu**
The an we make is delicious. Don't worry.
**[16:48] Nagomu**
We'll pass it out now, so...
**[16:50] Nagomu**
Oh! Don't eat it, okay?
**[16:54] Yui**
We wouldn't do that!
**[16:56] Heigo**
So... we've pre-measured
the an and dough for you.
**[17:01] Hiego**
First, take the pale purple dough
and roll it between your palms.
**[17:05] Heigo**
Once you've rounded it,
press a little and flatten it.
**[17:09] Heigo**
Make the center a little thinner,
**[17:10] ---**
then place the white dough
on top and spread it out.
**[17:13] Heigo**
Place the an on top, then wrap it
in the dough, keeping it round.
**[17:17] Heigo**
When you turn it over, you'll see a
hint of the white showing through.
**[17:23] Yui**
I don't see the white in mine.
**[17:25] Mako**
Itsuka-chan, you really are good at this!
**[17:28] Yui**
Do you practice at home?
**[17:30] Itsuka**
They let me use the leftovers,
but I've still got a long way to go.
**[17:34] Yui**
Really?
**[17:36] Miyu**
*Oh no.*
**[17:37] Miyu**
* It's not just the white,*
* the anko is showing, too.*
**[17:40] Miyu's mom**
How is it, Miyu? Did it work?
**[17:43] Miyu's mom**
What is it? You could look like
you're having a little more fun.
**[17:48] Miyu's mom**
Oh my! That's beautiful!
**[17:51] lady 1**
I'm good with my hands.
**[17:54] Miyu**
*You're the only one having fun here.*
**[17:58] Heigo**
This stick is a triangular dowel.
It's used for shaping.
**[18:03] Heigo**
The heat of a person's hand
**[18:05] ---**
quickly dries out the wagashi,
and will change its flavor, too.
**[18:09] Heigo**
Being able to shape it beautifully before
that happens is what makes an artisan.
**[18:14] Heigo**
Place the lines quickly,
dividing it into eighths.
**[18:17] Heigo**
Don't be timid. Press firmly.
**[18:21] Heigo**
Use your fingers to pinch
the sections and shape them.
**[18:26] Heigo**
Add lines to the petal
tips with a tap, tap, tap.
**[18:30] Heigo**
Mark the center with the
round stamping dowel.
**[18:34] Heigo**
Place the yellow dough there...
**[18:37] Heigo**
and your premier namagashi sweet,
Cosmos, is complete.
**[18:42] child 1**
Is this right?
**[18:43] Hiiro**
You can press harder than
you think. That's right.
**[18:48] Yui**
That's really good!
**[18:49] Mako**
Wow!
**[18:51] Yui**
Just what we'd expect from you!
**[18:54] Miyu's mom**
Miyu, did you finish yours?
**[18:56] Miyu's mom**
Hm? What's that?
**[18:58] Miyu's mom**
That's not a cosmos!
**[19:02] Miyu's mom**
You really are so clumsy.
**[19:05] Hiiro**
U-Um...
**[19:08] Nagomu**
I like it!
**[19:10] Nagomu**
I can tell you worked really hard to make it.
**[19:14] Miyu**
But... you can see the an inside.
**[19:17] Miyu's mom**
Isn't it because you didn't want to do this?
**[19:21] Miyu's mom**
I thought it looked fun, so I wanted
to do this together, but...
**[19:25] Miyu**
Mama... You always laugh at what I do.
**[19:29] Miyu**
You made fun of me today too!
**[19:32] Miyu**
Ever since I was little, you always laughed,
no matter what I did.
**[19:36] Miyu**
You made fun of me, saying I'm clumsy.
**[19:39] Miyu**
Y-You've never once praised me!
**[19:41] Miyu's mom**
Miyu... I-It's not like that!
**[19:44] Miyu's mom**
That's...
**[19:46] Miyu's mom**
It's because you're so cute!
**[19:49] Miyu's mom**
Whether you'd messed up or
were sulking... you were just so lovable.
**[19:55] Miyu's mom**
That's why I'd end up laughing.
**[19:58] Miyu's mom**
After all, I've been watching
you since you were tiny.
**[20:04] Nagomu**
But ma'am,
**[20:06] Nagomu**
she isn't a little girl anymore.
**[20:08] Nagomu**
When you get laughed at in a situation
you don't think is funny...
**[20:11] Nagomu**
It's so embarrassing.
**[20:16] Nagomu**
When I was in a situation like that...
**[20:17] Nagomu**
Someone said this for my benefit.
**[20:20] (Flashback) Principal Haneda**
Laughing is rude!
**[20:22] (Flashback) Principal Haneda**
Even if you don't intend to be mean,
it can crush a person's potential!
**[20:28] Principal Haneda**
*Nagomu-kun...*
**[20:33] Heigo**
An artisan must use the
exact same proportions
**[20:36] Heigo**
to create the exact same
shape in great quantity.
**[20:39] Heigo**
That's so that every single customer
can experience the same enjoyment.
**[20:43] Heigo**
But it's something gained through training,
repeating the same work over and over.
**[20:49] Heigo**
The most important thing is to enjoy it.
**[20:52] Heigo**
What do you think, now that
you've made wagashi? Is it hard?
**[20:56] Miyu**
It's hard, b-but it's fun.
**[21:01] Heigo**
I'm glad.
**[21:03] Heigo**
The next sweet is fun to make, too!
**[21:06] Heigo**
We'll take a strainer and
press the dough through.
**[21:09] ---**
Then we'll take chopsticks...
**[21:15] children**
Thank you for the sweets!
**[21:18] Miyu's mom**
Miyu, I'm sorry.
**[21:21] Miyu's mom**
It's my fault, isn't it?
**[21:25] Miyu's mom**
There's something I forgot to tell you.
**[21:28] Miyu's mom**
Your mama...
**[21:30] Miyu's mom**
loves your smile most of all!
**[21:39] Hiiro**
Nagomu-san, thank you for
bringing me along today.
**[21:44] Nagomu**
No, thank you.
**[21:53] Nagomu**
What?
**[21:55] Nagomu**
Then the person Hiiro-chan's
been staring at is Masa-san?
**[21:59] Nagomu**
I thought it was my dad!
**[22:01] Saki**
No matter how you look at it,
it's definitely Masa-san.
**[22:04] Saki**
Though, more than love,
I'd say it's admiration.
**[22:07] Nagomu**
Really?
**[22:08] Itsuka**
Aren't you being a little too dense?
**[22:11] Nagomu**
Oh!
**[22:12] Nagomu**
Hey, Hiiro-chan, is the person
you keep thinking about—
**[22:14] Saki**
Nagomu-san!
**[22:15] Hiiro**
What is it?
**[22:16] Itsuka; Saki**
It's nothing!

Selling in the shop wasn't enough, you had
to go learn tea ceremony on top of it.
**[00:53] Kanoko**
Not at all. It's fun. And I haven't
studied anything in a long time.
**[00:58] Kanoko**
Tea ceremony really is lovely.
**[01:00] Kanoko**
It sort of cuts you free from
the regular perception of time,
**[01:02] ---**
so you feel it passing differently.
**[01:05] Kanoko**
It makes me glad I came here.
**[01:09] Yori-san**
Now that I think about it... Kanoko-san,
why did you come to Kyoto?
**[01:12] Ito-san**
Does it have some special

**[01:15] Kanoko**
Oh, um...

Oh, Kanoko-san!
**[09:08] Kanoko**
I, um, I only had tea lessons today,
and the rest of the day off,
**[09:12] Kanoko**
so I thought I might buy
myself something sweet.
**[09:16] Kanoko**
O-Or something.
**[09:18] Itsuka**
In that case...
**[09:20] Kanoko**
Wow! A jack-o'-lantern-shaped

**[09:24] Fuki**
Well, it's almost Halloween, so we
make things like these, too.
**[09:28] Kanoko**
Oh, Halloween, is it?
**[09:31] Kanoko**
Itsuka-chan, does your
school do anything for it?
**[09:33] Itsuka**
Yes.
**[09:34] Itsuka**
Last year, they got capes and
pointy hats ready for us,
**[09:37] Itsuka**
and my whole class dressed
as witches together.
**[09:40] Kanoko**
Wow, I wish I could have seen that.
**[09:44] Kanoko**
Do you have a party or anything?
**[09:45] Itsuka**
No. But while the pumpkin posters
are up, we can get candy.
**[09:50] Fuki**
The school has the PTA put up the posters.
**[09:55] Fuki**
Lately, people do all kinds of
things for the holiday, don't they?
**[09:58] Kanoko**
Then, on the day of Halloween,
you and the others dress up, and...
**[10:02] Fuki**
Oh, no, we don't.
**[10:04] Fuki**
The children dressing in costumes
is more than enough already.
**[10:08] Nagomu**

**[10:10] Nagomu**
Oh. Kanoko.

**[11:00] (Flashback) Fuki**
Well...
**[11:04] (Flashback) Maeda**
What should I do with this?
**[11:09] Nagomu**
I'll go check and come back!
**[11:16] Kanoko**
When we were together,
**[11:18] ---**
his guitar and chestnut were so important
he never let me touch them. And now...
**[11:23] Kanoko**
Maybe he's more relaxed
because he's back home.
**[11:27] Kanoko**
He's such an idiot.
**[11:33] Maeda**
If you mean that chestnut,
we didn't know who it belonged to,
**[11:37] Maeda**
so I was told to leave it in
the meeting hall.
**[11:43] Maeda**
I put it in the storage room.
**[11:45] Nagomu**
Oh, I'm so glad you found it!
**[11:48] Maeda**
So, it was yours, Nagomu-chan?

bought them before I'd realized it.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Takumi**
Oh, right. I mean, it is fall.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Yagen**
Speaking of chestnut manju, in a
manga I read a long time ago...
**[14:13] (Flashback) Yagen**
the main character wanted to
eat tons of chestnut manju,
**[14:16] (Flashback) ---**
so he used a mysterious
object to make more of them.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Yagen**
In the end, he created so many,
he couldn't eat them all.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Yagen**
And if nothing was done, the whole world
would be buried in chestnut manju.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Yagen**
So he sent them to space with a rocket!
**[14:30] (Flashback) Nagomu**
I know that story!
**[14:32] (Flashback) Takumi**
Me too!
**[14:33] (Flashback) Sasaki**
That story's actually how
I found out about chestnut manju!
**[14:37] (Flashback) Yagen**
Those chestnut manju... I wonder
if they kept multiplying in space.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Nagomu**
I know!
**[14:44] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Why don't we name our band Chestnut Manju?!
**[14:47] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Chestnut manju might
take over the universe!
**[14:51] (Flashback) Nagomu**
They're overflowing with magnificent
dreams and romance, don't you think?
**[14:54] (Flashback) Takumi**
Whoa. I think I like it!
**[14:55] (Flashback) Sasaki**
I'm starting to feel like it might work.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Yagen**
Then what about "Space Chestnut Manju" instead?
**[15:04] Nagomu**
So we asked someone we knew and
had chestnut helmets made for us.
**[15:10] Nagomu**
That chestnut is a memento
from when we formed the band,
**[15:14] Nagomu**
and it's a symbol of the band itself.
**[15:17] Nagomu**
Lots of stuff happened and we broke up,
**[15:20] Nagomu**
but what we felt back
then was the real thing.
**[15:25] Itsuka**
Do you ever...
**[15:27] Itsuka**
Do you ever wish you could
play in a band again?
**[15:30] Nagomu**

Hey, hello. It's been a while.

I heard from my little sister

*How is Ayu?*
**[15:57] Kanoko**
* She texted the other day,*
* but I haven't been able to reply yet.*
**[16:01] Takumi**
She seems pretty busy lately.
Don't worry about it.
**[16:05] Takumi**
So, why'd you call today?

Huh? Chestnut?
**[16:14] Takumi**
*What's that guy doing, anyway?*
**[16:16] Kanoko**

**[16:22] Kanoko**
Hm?
**[16:23] Takumi**
*Why are you in Kyoto?*
**[16:27] Kanoko**
*It just sort of... turned out this way.*
**[16:30] Takumi**
I thought Nagomu must've sent for you.
**[16:34] Kanoko**
* Of course not. Not after he*
* left me behind so easily.*
**[16:39] Takumi**
Easily, huh?
**[16:41] Takumi**
That's the same as with us.
**[16:43] Kanoko**
*What?*
**[16:45] Takumi**
That guy...
**[16:46] Takumi**
he might think that we said we wanted to
break up the band out of nowhere, but...
***SIGN*** Specialty Matcha

**[16:52] Takumi**
He'd been worried the whole time,
**[16:56] Takumi**
worried about his family.
**[16:58] Takumi**
Back when we decided to name
the band "Chestnut Manju,"
**[17:01] Takumi**
Nagomu was the one who was
the most excited about it.
**[17:04] Takumi**
We thought maybe he wanted to stay
connected to wagashi however he could.
**[17:09] Takumi**
When Nagomu wasn't around, we all
talked about it and laughed.
**[17:14] Takumi**
The band was fun, but as we thought about
the future, it felt like time for a change.
**[17:21] Takumi**
We'd planned to take some time and set
up a place to talk to Nagomu later.
**[17:26] Takumi**
* "Figure out what your*
* priorities really are."*
**[17:29] Takumi**
*That's what we planned to confront him about.*
**[17:32] Takumi**
* Then that guy went and traveled*
* back to Kyoto on his own.*
**[17:36] Takumi**
*But...*
**[17:38] Takumi**
I think the reason he left the band
and you, Kanoko-chan, so quickly...
**[17:41] Takumi**
might've been because he didn't want his
lingering regrets to weaken his resolve.
**[17:43] Takumi**
* might've been because he didn't want his*
* lingering regrets to weaken his resolve.*
**[17:48] Takumi**
*But, you know, Kanoko-chan...*
**[17:51] Takumi**
Now that you know your break-up
was based on a misunderstanding,
**[17:53] Takumi**
couldn't you say you
want to get back together?
**[17:55] Takumi**
You went all the way to Kyoto.
**[17:57] Kanoko**
* It... doesn't feel right to*
* say something like that.*
**[18:01] Kanoko**
* Nagomu's changed a lot*
* since he came to Kyoto.*
**[18:05] Kanoko**
*But I'm just the same as I was back then.*
**[18:10] Takumi**
* I think that Nagomu may*
* look like he's changed,*
**[18:14] ---**
*but he probably hasn't, really.*
**[18:17] Takumi**
It's because of the time
Nagomu spent with us
**[18:19] Takumi**
that he is who he is now, right?
**[18:22] Takumi**
Maybe you're just seeing him
take on a bunch of changes.
**[18:28] Takumi**
Whether it's in Tokyo or in Kyoto...
**[18:31] Takumi**
when fall comes, the leaves change
color all the same, right?

Yes. I'm fine.
**[20:32] Nagomu**
Thanks for the chestnut.
**[20:34] Itsuka**
It's nothing. I just happened to find it.
**[20:37] Kanoko**
I was just about to go give this out.
**[20:39] Kanoko**
This is Halloween candy.
Go and eat it with everyone.

* The most amazing illumination displays*

**[00:05] Nagomu**
I was just thinking, "It's Halloween, huh?"
**[00:08] Nagomu**
And now the city is already
full of illumination displays.
**[00:11] Nagomu**
It's so crowded around times
like Christmas. It makes things tough.
**[00:15] Nagomu**
Oh, right. Itsuka, when's your birthday?
**[00:18] Itsuka**
What's this all of a sudden?
**[00:19] Nagomu**
I was just thinking about how
Christmas is Christ's birthday,
**[00:24] Nagomu**
and I realized that I didn't know
when your birthday is, Itsuka.
**[00:27] Itsuka**
It's passed.
**[00:28] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[00:29] Itsuka**
It passed before you came
back home, Nagomu-san.
**[00:34] Nagomu**
Why'd you have to phrase that
so misleadingly? You gave me a nasty shock!
**[00:38] Nagomu**
That means it's still coming up, right?
**[00:40] Nagomu**
In that case, about celebrating it...
**[00:42] Nagomu**
What do you think about going
out somewhere together that day?

If it's about her birthday...

Couldn't you ask the mistress and the others?
**[02:40] Nagomu**
If someone Itsuka hasn't told
knew when her birthday was,
**[02:43] ---**
I'm sure she'd be put off.
**[02:45] Saki**
Yes, put off completely.
**[02:47] Nagomu**
Okay. Assignment complete!
**[02:50] Saki**
Nagomu-san, you're really
skilled at juicing yuzu.
**[02:53] Nagomu**
They've made me help with
it since I was little.
**[02:56] Nagomu**
So it's juicing yuzu more than
seeing illumination displays
**[02:59] ---**
that makes me feel like December is here.
**[03:02] Saki**
My family likes Ryokushou's yuzu yokan,
too, so I send it to them every year.
**[03:07] Nagomu**
Thank you. We look forward

**[03:10] Saki**
Since we're talking about it,
when's your birthday, Nagomu-san?
**[03:13] Nagomu**
Me? The fifteenth of this month.

But, let's see...
**[03:24] Nagomu**
Saki-kun, if you'd dress as a girl

**[06:19] Nagomu**
I d-did it right! I left it to dry

**[06:25] Heigo**
Then it must have reached the end of

**[06:38] Nagomu**
Hey...
**[06:39] Nagomu**
How did we juice them before we had this?
**[06:43] Nagomu**
Why do the both of you look so dumbfounded?
**[06:45] Heigo**
You don't remember?
**[06:47] Nagomu**
Remember what?
**[06:48] Fuki**
What a heartless child.
**[06:49] Nagomu**
What are you talking about?!
**[06:51] Fuki**
Never mind. This is fresh yuzu yokan.
Go give it to your grandpa.
**[06:57] Kazuteru**
* This year, the winter solstice*
* is on the 22nd again.*
**[07:00] Kazuteru**
*Nagomu's birthday is one week before that.*
**[07:03] Nagomu**
*That's right. I heard something from Grandpa.*
**[07:07] Nagomu**
* He said I was supposed to*
* have been born on the 22nd.*
**[07:12] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
The winter solstice is also called
"long-awaited warmth of spring."
**[07:15] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
It's when the sun's power is
at its very weakest,
**[07:18] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
but starts to grow stronger
again day by day.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
They say that strong scents keep
bad energies at bay, you see.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
So, during this time, we use yuzu's
strong fragrance to cleanse ourselves.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
That's the significance behind yuzu baths.
**[07:34] (Flashback) young Nagomu**
Wow. I thought it was to
keep from catching a cold.
**[07:37] (Flashback) young Nagomu**
I mean, it makes you all nice and warm.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
A cold is one type of bad energy.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
Peaches and chestnuts take three years,
but persimmons take eight.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
And yuzu take nine years to bear fruit.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Nagomu**
What? Why?
**[07:48] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
Just as the saying states, yuzu takes
a lot of time and effort to bear fruit.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
So, when I heard that your
due date was the 22nd,
**[07:58] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
I just *knew* I had to make
some kind of yuzu sweet.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Nagomu**
And that's why you bought this.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Kazuichi**
That's right.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Then I should've waited a
little longer to be born.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
Idiot.
**[08:11] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
I couldn't stand waiting anymore.
**[08:14] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
That's why you came early, right?
**[08:16] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
And you came home from
the hospital one week later,
**[08:20] (Flashback) Kazuteru**
exactly on the winter solstice.
**[08:22] Kazuteru**
* There isn't a child who is more*
* devoted to his grandpa than you.*
**[08:25] Kazuteru**
*Thank you, Nagomu.*
**[08:27] Nagomu**
That's right, Grandpa.
**[08:30] Nagomu**
I remember now.
**[08:32] Nagomu**
I'm sorry I broke it, Grandpa.
**[08:35] Fuki**
Nagomu! What are you doing?
Hurry up and come help!
**[08:40] Saki**
Then that means that this yuzu yokan
is made every year for you, right?
**[08:45] Hiiro**
What a lovely story. To think of someone
coming up with a sweet for your birthday...
**[08:51] Nagomu**
That's true if it were the
story and nothing else.
**[08:53] Nagomu**
Because of that sweet, I've had
to help juice yuzu every year.
**[08:57] Nagomu**
I hated it!
**[08:59] Nagomu**
It's cold, and my fingers hurt,
and it stings, and it's boring...
**[09:02] Nagomu**
And of course they made me
do it on my birthday, too.
**[09:05] Nagomu**
Other than the cake, it was just a regular day.
**[09:07] Nagomu**
To say nothing of Christmas!
**[09:09] (Flashback) Heigo**
This is Japan!
**[09:11] Nagomu**
That's what he said to me!
**[09:12] Nagomu**
I thought that decorated trees and
whole roast chickens might be mythical.
**[09:16] Saki**
My grandpa said the same thing.
**[09:19] Saki**
But that fir tree is amazing, right?
**[09:21] Nagomu**
Yeah! And that's why I'm super excited!
**[09:24] Hiiro**
Leave the decorating to me!
I'll do a perfect job!

I mean, it's fine either way!
**[10:33] Kanoko**
I thought I might ask him about it tomorrow,

Nagomu-san's birthday is tomorrow...
**[10:53] Kanoko**
Should we pretend you never heard about it?

Usually he tries to get other people's
attention about stuff like that.
**[10:59] Kanoko**
* It's not working. She's not the*

**[11:04] Kanoko**
But it makes me happy that you

**[11:10] Itsuka**
It's just...

I was stubborn about something,

**[11:19] Kanoko**
I think those feelings of yours are
enough to make him really happy.

Plus, he always used to say...

"If I'm not alone on my
birthday, that's enough."
**[11:29] Kanoko**
And that just having someone to spend
his birthday with made him happy.

**[14:13] Mitsuru**
* but I don't care if he says no!*
* Being a woman is all about being brave!*
**[14:17] Mitsuru**
* And I've rehearsed what I was*
* going to say so much for this!*
**[14:21] Mitsuru**
* Okay. Before I ask him,*
* I'll do it one more time.*
**[14:24] Mitsuru**
Nagomu-san! After work, would you like
to go see illumination displays with me?
**[14:29] Nagomu**
Sure.
**[14:31] Nagomu**
It won't be until after I've
finished the prep work, though.
**[14:36] Fuki**
What did you do, Nagomu?!
**[14:37] Nagomu**
I didn't do anything!

Excuse me for leaving first!

*Squee! I have to hurry home and get ready!*
**[15:05] Heigo**
Thanks for your work again today.
**[15:07] Heigo**
I'll be counting on all of you tomorrow, too.
**[15:09] everyone**
Yes, sir!
**[15:11] Saki**
Nagomu-san, are you going out?
**[15:13] Nagomu**
Yeah.
**[15:14] Nagomu**
Saki-kun, are you headed anywhere?
**[15:16] Saki**
My friends are having a party,
so I'm going to pop in.
**[15:19] Hiiro**
Excuse me!
**[15:20] Hiiro**
Here, if you want them.
**[15:22] Hiiro**
Because you're always taking care of me.
**[15:24] Nagomu**
Thank you!
**[15:25] Saki**
You're so conscientious.
**[15:27] Masa**
Well, thank you everyone!
**[15:28] Hiiro**
Oh! Masa-san!
**[15:30] Hiiro**
Here! It's a thank you for
always looking after me!
**[15:33] Masa**
I can really have that?
**[15:35] Hiiro**
Yes!
**[15:35] Nagomu**
*Wow, that's blatant.*
**[15:38] Nagomu**
Okay, I'm heading out first!
**[15:47] Kanoko**
Are you going out?
**[15:49] Nagomu**
Kanoko...
**[15:50] Nagomu**
Huh? Did we agree to meet?
**[15:53] Kanoko**
No, we didn't! We didn't, but...
**[15:56] Kanoko**
It's Christmas Eve and I'm alone,
so if you were free, I thought maybe...
**[16:06] Mitsuru**
*I'm so glad I got here first.*
**[16:09] Mitsuru**
*I need time to prepare my heart, after all.*
**[16:12] Nagomu**
Mitsuru-chan!
**[16:13] Mitsuru**
Nagomu-sa...
**[16:13] Mitsuru**
*Huh?*
**[16:15] Nagomu**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[16:16] Mitsuru**
*Huh?*
**[16:21] Shinri**
Wow, it's so cute!
**[16:23] Shinri**
Did you think this up, Itsuka?
**[16:25] Itsuka**
It's our usual jouyo manju and kinton dough.
I just had it arranged a little differently.
**[16:31] Itsuka**
And I helped a little putting
the finishing touches on.
**[16:33] Shinri**
Really? Thank you!
**[16:36] Shinri**
If I eat them, they'll disappear.
It seems like a shame.
**[16:39] Shinri**
I'll show them to my father
and the others, too.
**[16:41] Itsuka**
Your father?
**[16:42] Shinri**
Your grandpa and grandma in France.
**[16:46] Shinri**
They wanted to see you.
**[16:48] Shinri**
You don't remember them very well, do you?
**[16:50] Shinri**
You've lived apart from them
for a long time, after all.
**[16:53] Shinri**
And I was always working, so I couldn't
make time to see them, either.
**[16:58] Shinri**
There were times I couldn't
keep my promises, too.
**[17:01] Shinri**
I'm really sorry about those...
**[17:03] Shinri**
Huh?
**[17:05] Shinri**
* I've never seen that look*
* on Itsuka's face before.*
**[17:08] Itsuka**
*Why are those three together?!*
**[17:11] Itsuka**
* Nagomu-san must've invited them*
* without thinking it through.*
**[17:11] Shinri; background**
I'm no good, am I?
**[17:12] Shinri; background**
Just the fact that you're meeting
with me like this is enough.
**[17:14] Itsuka**
*He needs to stop being like that!*
**[17:15] Shinri; background**
I mean, I do hope that one day
we can live together, but...
**[17:17] Itsuka**
So insensitive.
**[17:19] Shinri**
Y-You're right. I'm still not thinking
things through well enough.
**[17:23] Itsuka**
Huh?
**[17:24] Itsuka**
N-No! I wasn't saying that about you, Mama!
**[17:27] Shinri**
R-Really?
**[17:28] Itsuka**
P-Please don't let it bother you!
**[17:31] Itsuka**
*Nagomu-san, let it bother* you*!*
**[17:34] Nagomu**
*What was that?*
**[17:35] Kanoko**
Mitsuru-chan, you've come here before?
**[17:37] Mitsuru**
Yes. It was really pretty,
so I wanted to come see it again.
**[17:42] Nagomu**
When did the two of you
become such good friends?
**[17:46] Nagomu**
You don't see each other very
often at the shop, right?
**[17:48] Kanoko**
It's true we don't see each other much,
but we became friends over the summer, right?
**[17:52] Mitsuru**
Yes.
**[17:53] Mitsuru**
*I'm so glad Kanoko-san is here.*
**[17:57] Mitsuru**
*I'm just realizing it now,*
**[17:58] ---**
* but it might have been exhausting*
* with just the two of us.*
**[18:03] Kanoko**
* Looks like her heart's packed*
* with as much as it can take.*
**[18:05] Kanoko**
* I'm jealous of that feeling*
* of not having room to breathe.*
**[18:08] Nagomu**
Wow, this is amazing!
**[18:13] Kanoko**
*Now that I think about it,*
**[18:15] ---**
* Nagomu was always out on*
* Christmas Eve, playing events.*
**[18:18] Kanoko**
*I could only ever see him the day after.*
**[18:19] Nagomu**
I'm sorry I always leave you
on your own for Christmas Eve.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Nagomu**
But thank you for being
with me this year, too.
**[18:34] Mitsuru**
* Nagomu-san's hand. This might be the*
* first time I've seen it up close!*
**[18:40] Mitsuru**
* Now I'm conscious of it,*
* my heart is suddenly racing!*
**[18:46] Mitsuru**
Nagomu-san...
**[18:49] Mitsuru**
It's from home. Please excuse me a moment!
**[18:53] Nagomu**
Watch out!
**[18:55] Nagomu**
You'll run into someone.
**[18:56] Mitsuru**
Thank you so...
**[18:58] Mitsuru**
much?!
**[19:02] Mitsuru**
I'm sorry!
**[19:04] Nagomu**
No. I'm sorry.
**[19:05] Mitsuru**
* Squee! The feel of his hand!*
* I'll never forget it!*
**[19:09] Nagomu**
I wonder if she's weirded out after
getting grabbed by an old guy.
**[19:13] Nagomu**
What's this?
**[19:15] Nagomu**
Hey!
**[19:16] Kanoko**
* I don't have any of that*
* fresh innocence left.*
**[19:19] Nagomu**
What is it? Why are you
treating me like this?
**[19:21] Kanoko**
Has your hand changed a little?
**[19:23] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[19:23] Kanoko**
How can I put it? I can't explain it.
It's just a feeling.
**[19:27] Nagomu**
Well... They still won't let
me work with the sweets,
**[19:32] Nagomu**
but maybe it's because my awareness
is different when I use my hands now?
**[19:35] Nagomu**
Veteran artisans lose the hair on their
fingers from the heat of the sweets.
**[19:40] Nagomu**
And for sanitary purposes, you have
to take care of your nails,
**[19:43] Nagomu**
so I've heard that a lot of
them have pretty fingers.
**[19:46] Nagomu**
Oh, right! Kanoko, you've influenced this.
**[19:49] Kanoko**
What?
**[19:50] Nagomu**
You didn't cut your nails,
you filed them, right?
**[19:53] Nagomu**
That way you don't cut them too short,
and you can do careful maintenance.
**[19:57] Nagomu**
It's really convenient.
**[19:58] Kanoko**
Then dating me wasn't for nothing.
**[20:01] Nagomu**
I've never thought it was.
**[20:04] Nagomu**
And I'm glad you're with me this year, too.
**[20:08] Nagomu**
I mean, Itsuka's not here. And being with
Mitsuru-chan alone would be a little, you know...
**[20:13] Kanoko**
Yes, yes.
**[20:15] Nagomu**
Mitsuru-chan.
**[20:17] Mitsuru**
They told me to start
getting ready to come home.
**[20:20] Nagomu**
Oh, it's already this late?
**[20:23] Kanoko**
Then I suppose we should go
our separate ways, right?
**[20:25] Mitsuru**
U-Um...
**[20:27] Mitsuru**
Here! It's a Christmas present!
**[20:29] Nagomu**
What? I can have that?
**[20:31] Mitsuru**
I couldn't find the right
timing to give it to you.
**[20:34] Kanoko**
Here.
**[20:35] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[20:35] Nagomu**
Kanoko, you're giving me something, too?
**[20:37] Nagomu**
Wow! Can I open it?
**[20:39] Kanoko**
Please do.
**[20:41] Nagomu**
Whoa... No way! Are these homemade?
**[20:44] Nagomu**
They look yummy!
**[20:46] Nagomu**
A tenugui towel? I use these
at work, so this is a huge help!
**[20:50] Nagomu**
Thank you both!
**[20:52] Mitsuru**
*I see. Something he'd use at work.*
**[20:54] Mitsuru**
* It won't get in the way, plus he'll always*
* keep it close. It's good all around!*
**[20:58] Kanoko**
* I can't give something handmade*
* to a man I've broken up with once!*
**[21:01] Kanoko**
* Since she's young, the emotional weight*
* of "handmade" transforms into cuteness!*
**[21:05] Mitsuru**
Kanoko-san, your present
has such a lovely pattern!
**[21:08] Mitsuru**
Later, please tell me what
shop you found it in!
**[21:12] Kanoko**
But Mitsuru-chan, your
cupcakes look so delicious!
**[21:16] Kanoko**
Tell me the recipe later.
I'd like to try making them!

All right.
**[00:09] Heigo**
Preparations for tomorrow are all done.
**[00:12] Nagomu**
Aren't we still taking hanabira
mochi orders for Shogatsu?
**[00:16] Heigo**
Only for our long-time regular customers.
**[00:18] Heigo**
We have to go give our greetings
and do our graveside visits.
**[00:23] Nagomu**
Is this leftovers?
**[00:24] Heigo**
Yes, you can do as you like with it.
**[00:26] Heigo**
If you don't use it, put it away.
**[00:28] Nagomu**
Oh, you! Why can't you just say,
"you can go ahead and practice"?
**[00:32] Heigo**
Moron!
**[00:33] Heigo**
You can practice,
**[00:35] Heigo**
but, originally, hanabira mochi
**[00:37] Heigo**
was created from the hishihanabira
mochi served in the imperial court
**[00:40] Heigo**
for the first Urasenke
tea ceremony of the year.
**[00:45] Heigo**
Gobo root, which is simmered for three
days and three nights to make it sweet,
**[00:47] Heigo**
is wrapped in white miso an, which is dyed a
pale crimson, and sweet gyuuhi mochi.
**[00:52] Heigo**
For the sake of our patrons who like
ours and have chosen it above others,
**[00:57] Heigo**
we can't make any bad ones.
**[01:00] Heigo**
Make sure you pound that into your head.
**[01:03] Nagomu**
Yeah. I know.

sumashi soup is good,

We're visiting my husband's parents

Oh, I'm sorry.
**[05:05] Nagomu**
We're only filling pre-orders today.
**[05:09] Kadonaga**
Oh, really? I'm sorry for troubling you.
**[05:21] Nagomu**
Ugh, it's freezing!
**[05:26] Nagomu**
Oh.
**[05:27] Nagomu**
It's him.
**[05:29] Nagomu**
Excuse me.
**[05:31] Nagomu**
We met earlier, in front of the shop.
**[05:37] Kadonaga**
My mother's grave is nearby, you see.
**[05:41] Kadonaga**
I've left the tending of her grave
to relatives for a long time, but...
**[05:46] Kadonaga**
Lately, bad things keep
happening one after another.
**[05:51] Nagomu**
What do you mean?
**[05:53] Kadonaga**
Fracturing my pinkie toe, stepping on
my glasses and breaking them...
**[05:57] Kadonaga**
Arguing with my wife and getting kicked,
hard, right in the face.
**[06:01] Nagomu**
Wow...
**[06:03] Kadonaga**
I wanted to show my regret for
my previous neglect,
**[06:07] Kadonaga**
and I thought that I could at least offer
her favorite Ryokushou sweets, but...
**[06:12] Kadonaga**
Even in this, I'm unlucky. I just
can't help feeling that way.
**[06:18] Kadonaga**
I know that I have to go,
but my feet just won't go.
**[06:25] Nagomu**
Um, I might have a suggestion.
**[06:30] Nagomu**
Won't you become an acquaintance of mine?
**[06:33] Kadonaga**
Huh?
**[06:35] Itsuka**
Nagomu-san is taking a long time, isn't he?
**[06:38] Heigo**
Honestly, should we leave
him and go on our hatsumode?
**[06:46] Itsuka**
* He's probably just dawdling*
* along on his way back.*
**[06:53] Itsuka**
It couldn't be...
**[07:01] Itsuka**
Nagomu-san?
**[07:02] Itsuka**
What have you been doing all—
**[07:03] Nagomu**
Shh!
**[07:06] Itsuka**
You're giving out the hanabira
mochi you made for practice?!
**[07:09] Itsuka**
You know you can't do that!
You're going to get yelled at!
**[07:12] Nagomu**
I know! I know, but...
**[07:15] Nagomu**
He came all the way here because
he wanted to offer her our sweets.
**[07:20] Nagomu**
It makes me happy, you know?
***SIGN*** Ryokushou
**[07:23] Nagomu**
I know that what I've made
for training can't be sold...
***SIGN*** Traditional Confectionery
**[07:28] Nagomu**
But I thought it wouldn't matter
if I gave them to an acquaintance.
**[07:32] Nagomu**
I made them for practice,
**[07:35] Nagomu**
but the an, the sweet gyuuhi mochi, and the
gobo root all have the Ryokushou flavor.
**[07:39] Nagomu**
I'm sure Buddha will forgive me for this much.
**[07:44] Itsuka**
I'll go get a bag.
**[07:48] Itsuka**
I'm in training, too, so it should
be fine for me to help you, right?
**[07:53] Itsuka**
We're in the same boat.
**[07:58] Nagomu**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[07:59] Kadonaga**
A-Are you sure?
**[08:01] Kadonaga**
Thank you so much!
**[08:03] Kadonaga**
How much should I pay you?
**[08:05] Nagomu**
Oh, there's no need.
**[08:07] Nagomu**
I made those sweets in training,
so they aren't well-made.
**[08:11] Nagomu**
If I took money for those, I'd get clobbered.
**[08:13] Nagomu**
Besides, I'm giving them to you
because you're an acquaintance.
**[08:17] Nagomu**
If you were a customer, I could
never let you have them.
**[08:22] Kadonaga**
Even though you say these aren't well-made,
**[08:24] Kadonaga**
they are more than good enough
for me to offer at a graveside.
**[08:29] Nagomu**
I'm sure she's waiting for you to come visit.
**[08:32] Nagomu**
Please go see her.
**[08:34] Kadonaga**
Next time, I'll come as a customer.

You have no tact.

your wishes are sure to come true, right?
**[09:54] Itsuka**
You think so? I've heard that the
deities here tend to cut corners.
**[09:59] Nagomu**
Really?
**[10:00] Nagomu**
Well, the gods must be busy.
**[10:03] Nagomu**
If they grant even a little of a wish,
maybe we can forgive them for the rest.
**[10:07] Itsuka**
I already forgave them a long time ago.
**[10:15] Itsuka**
* I wish for everyone at Ryokushou to*
* be healthy and happy in the next year.*
**[10:20] Itsuka**
*And...*
**[10:22] Itsuka**
* I wish for Nagomu-san to be just a*
* little more serious about things.*
**[10:29] Heigo**
I wish that a certain someone would stop
saying that his sweets aren't well-made.

*Are we busted?*

**[10:48] (Flashback) Umeka's grandfather**
The buds of the plum are
starting to swell, aren't they?

It may be cold now, but it's

**[12:34] Koume**
This red one is cute.

Isn't it? It's an ume plum sweet.

Call Otsurusan!
**[15:27] Fuki**
I heard from your mom.
**[15:29] Fuki**
She said your teacher talked to everyone,

So she still doesn't like them...
**[15:41] Itsuka**
Welcome!
**[15:44] Itsuka**
Would you like something to go? Or would
you like to have a seat in our tea shop?
**[15:47] Umeka**
Um, is there someone named Koume here?
**[15:51] Itsuka**
Koume-chan?
**[15:56] Fuki**
Koume-san? Is that their first name?
**[15:58] Umeka**
Oh, um... It's sort of an old stage name.
**[16:02] Fuki**
A stage name?
**[16:03] Fuki**
We do have a little Koume-chan
over there, but...
**[16:06] Koume**
Not Koume! Monaka!
**[16:08] Fuki**
Did you come here because you
heard the name from someone?
**[16:10] Umeka**
Oh, yes! I'm here on an
errand from my grandpa.
**[16:14] Umeka**
This is my grandpa a long
time ago with Koume-san.
**[16:17] Umeka**
I heard that it was about forty years ago.
**[16:20] Fuki**
Oh my. A geiko.
**[16:23] Fuki**
Wait just a moment, please.
**[16:24] Fuki**
My husband may know more

**[16:30] Koume**
Let me see.
**[16:31] Umeka**
Sure.
**[16:33] Koume**
This person is Koume-san?
**[16:35] Umeka**
Your name is Koume-chan, right?
**[16:38] Umeka**
My name has "ume" in it too.

I'm Umeka.
**[16:43] Koume**
I hate ume plums.
**[16:45] Umeka**
Huh? Why?
**[16:46] Koume**
When they turn into umeboshi,
they're all wrinkly. They're not cute.
**[16:50] Nagomu**
Oh, I'm sorry! She's gone through
something a little awful, so...
**[16:57] Umeka**
Koume-chan, have you ever seen plum blossoms?
**[17:00] Koume**
No.
**[17:01] Umeka**
Look. They're so refined, and they're
little and cute, too, right?
**[17:07] Umeka**
Umeboshi are sour...
**[17:09] Umeka**
But they're preserved, so you can
eat them a hundred years from now!
**[17:12] Umeka**
Isn't that amazing?!
**[17:14] Umeka**
And the meaning of the flowers is lovely, too.
**[17:17] Umeka**
The red ones mean "elegance,"
the white ones mean "stately beauty,"
**[17:21] Umeka**
and the dark pink ones mean "innocence."
**[17:24] Nagomu**
Really? Those are all beautiful images.
**[17:27] Koume**
Nagomu-chan, what does "innocence" mean?

My grandpa is hospitalized right now.
**[17:58] Umeka**
But when I brought him some
wagashi that he likes,

his vacant expression suddenly brightened.
**[18:04] (Flashback) Umeka's grandfather**
Umeka, I have a favor to ask.
**[18:07] (Flashback) Umeka's grandfather**
There's a wagashi shop called Ryokushou.
**[18:11] (Flashback) Umeka's grandfather**
There's someone there named Koume...
**[18:13] Umeka**
...and he said he wanted me

**[18:17] Itsuka**
What a pretty kiri wood box.
**[18:18] Umeka**
I don't know what's inside though.
**[18:20] Koume**
Koume...
**[18:22] Koume**
Koume will look for Koume-san, too!
**[18:24] Nagomu**
Where will you look?
**[18:25] Koume**
Places like the temple or the park!
**[18:27] Nagomu**

**[18:44] Koume**
The lady over there is looking
for her. Do you know her?
**[18:49] Otsurusan**

She's come all the way here.
Wouldn't it be all right to tell her?

**[18:59] Masa**
And there's no need to hide it.
**[19:02] Masa**
Right, Koume-san?
**[19:04] Itsuka; Nagomu**
What?
**[19:37] Umeka**
Well, I'll be going now!
**[19:39] Umeka**
I want to hurry up and tell my grandpa
that I was able to give it back!
**[19:43] Otsurusan**
Um, this is from me.

**[04:33] (Flashback) Tomoe**
so when you eat it, three kinds of sweetness
lightly bloom inside your mouth!
**[04:37] (Flashback) Tomoe**
It's like when the snow melts.
**[04:40] (Flashback) Tomoe**
When I first ate one, I was truly moved.
**[04:43] (Flashback) Nagomu**
When you say things like that, it makes the
artisans grateful to have been a part of it.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Tomoe**
Besides, eating those is how I met you, Nagomu.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Nagomu**
Oh, please!
**[04:53] (Flashback) ---**
Our sweets happened to be used in
your etiquette class. That's all.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Nagomu**
It was just a coincidence.
**[04:59] (Flashback) Tomoe**
Idiot.
**[05:00] (Flashback) Tomoe**
That's what they call fate.

Nagomu-san, I'll leave something

**[05:14] Mitsuru**
* This is the first time I've been*
* to the second floor of the shop.*
**[05:18] Mitsuru**
* I was worried about how he might be doing,*
* so I asked the mistress to let me do this,*
**[05:20] Mitsuru; background**
Me! I'll take it to him!
**[05:22] Mitsuru**
*but I wonder if I was too pushy about it.*
**[05:27] Mitsuru**
*I guess I'll redo his towel for him.*
**[05:33] Mitsuru**
*It's still warm.*
**[05:37] Mitsuru**
*If he opened his eyes right now...*
**[05:41] Nagomu**
Mitsuru-chan, you stayed by my side?
**[05:45] Nagomu**
Thank you.
**[05:45] Nagomu; echo**
*Thank you... Thank you...*
**[05:47] Mitsuru**
*I can't handle it!*
**[05:48] Mitsuru**
* If he said that to me,*
* I wouldn't be able to handle it!*
**[05:50] Mitsuru**
*But I want him to say it.*
**[05:52] Mitsuru**
*I-I don't think he hates me,*
**[05:54] Mitsuru**
* so making an appeal with kindness*
* here would be okay, wouldn't it?*
**[05:57] Mitsuru**
*It would, right?*
**[05:58] Mitsuru**
*It would!*
**[06:00] Mitsuru**
* Then maybe, little by little,*
* Nagomu-san's feelings would turn towards me.*
**[06:04] Mitsuru**
*And then...*
**[06:06] Mitsuru**
*We'd go shopping together...*
**[06:07] Mitsuru**
*He'd wait for me outside the school gates...*
**[06:10] Mitsuru**
* And when there were events,*
* we'd spend the day together... Maybe?*
**[06:13] Mitsuru**
* No way! I'd be too happy!*
* It would be terrible!*
**[06:16] Mitsuru**
* And then, one day, we'd spend all*
* night in a guitar jam session...*
**[06:21] Mitsuru**
*No! Fantasizing any further would be too much!*
**[06:26] Mitsuru**
* Oh no! The voice of my heart*
* escaped into the outside world!*
**[06:29] Mitsuru**
*And it was super loud!*
**[06:33] Mitsuru**
Nagomu-san, please get better soon.

He's the son of the Ryokushou family.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Nagomu**
So, Master, you were my dad's classmate?
**[07:54] (Flashback) Master**
That's right. In high school.
**[07:56] (Flashback) Nagomu**
When did Senpai start working here?
**[07:59] (Flashback) Master**
It was right after Tomoe
got into high school.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Tomoe**
And getting to the point where
I could live on my own since then
**[08:05] (Flashback) Tomoe**
is all thanks to the master here.
**[08:07] Nagomu**
*Senpai's parents had divorced early on,*
**[08:10] Nagomu**
*and Senpai had gone with his mother, but...*
**[08:13] (Flashback) Tomoe**
She got remarried, and I just couldn't
get used to the new family.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Master**
That was at the beginning of spring.
**[08:18] (Flashback) ---**
You went by Ryokushou for
the first time in a while.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Master**
And on your way home, they made
you take some sweets.
**[08:24] (Flashback) Tomoe**
What is this? It's yummy!
**[08:26] (Flashback) Master**
It's called "Shitamoe."
**[08:28] (Flashback) Tomoe**
"Shitamoe"? What's it mean?
**[08:30] (Flashback) Master**
It's supposed to express sprouts breaking
through the snow after a cold winter.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Tomoe**
Really? Then it's also an
expression of hopefulness, right?
**[08:42] (Flashback) Master**
This guy had been agonizing over
**[08:45] (Flashback) ---**
whether he should move out
when he became a second-year.
**[08:47] (Flashback) Tomoe**
After that, I left home almost immediately.

I'm sorry, Kanoko-chan,
**[08:59] Fuki**
asking you to come pick up your order
because we couldn't deliver it.
**[09:02] Fuki**
What? Visit him?
**[09:04] Fuki**
That would be fine, but he might be asleep.
**[09:08] Kanoko**
You almost never catch a cold. What are
you thinking, letting your guard down?
**[09:14] Kanoko**
When we lived together,
you did run a fever just once.
**[09:18] Kanoko**
Back then, you cried out in your sleep,
**[09:20] ---**
calling the name of the
senpai you were looking for.
**[09:25] Kanoko**
Since the name was unisex, I was
certain it was a woman's name,
**[09:29] Kanoko**
and I hit you on the head
really hard, didn't I?
**[09:33] Kanoko**
You said, "If I keep playing
guitar, I know I'll see him."
**[09:37] Kanoko**
But compared to someone you couldn't
find after ten years of searching,
**[09:40] Kanoko**
don't you prefer me, who you found in three
months without any searching at all?
**[09:44] Kanoko**
Though just saying it is probably futile.
**[09:46] Fuki**
Kanoko-chan! We have twenty
shitamoe ready for you.
**[09:49] Kanoko**
Oh! Thank you!
**[09:54] (Flashback) Tomoe**
I knew it. When I eat the old guy's wagashi,
**[09:57] (Flashback) Tomoe**
it makes me feel like I've
got my emotions sorted out.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Tomoe**
I look at it and ponder...
Eat it and ponder...
**[10:03] (Flashback) Tomoe**
Enjoy the afterglow and ponder...
**[10:05] (Flashback) Tomoe**
And by the time I think,
"Ah, that was delicious,"
**[10:09] (Flashback) Tomoe**
all my unsettled feelings
have been tidied up.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Nagomu**
So, you're not planning on ever coming back?
**[10:18] (Flashback) Tomoe**
I don't know...
**[10:20] (Flashback) Tomoe**
But if I ever need to make
up my mind about something,
**[10:25] (Flashback) Tomoe**
I'll come back to eat some sweets.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Tomoe**
Nagomu, thanks for everything up to now.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Tomoe**
I'll be leaving Kyoto ahead of you.
**[10:33] (Flashback) Tomoe**
You should hurry up and
decide on your future, too.

Huh? Is this one you just wrung out?
**[11:22] Nagomu**
It's super cold.

She told me to use the ones she'd

Snow is cold, and it's freezing out here.
**[20:05] Itsuka**
*And I feel lonely...*
**[20:06] Nagomu**
Itsuka, when you first came here,
it was a snowy day like today, right?
**[20:10] Itsuka**
Huh?
**[20:10] Nagomu**
If I'd been here, what would we have
played together? I couldn't help wondering.
**[20:15] Itsuka**
What?
**[20:16] Nagomu**
Really, when I heard about it,
I thought about what a shame it was.
**[20:20] Nagomu**
I definitely would have said, "Itsuka,
let's go play!" and taken you outside.
**[20:25] Itsuka**
Why are you assuming that I'd go play?
**[20:28] Nagomu**
It's my imagination. What's the harm?
**[20:32] Nagomu**
"What ifs" might be unproductive,
**[20:35] Nagomu**
but if you get a chance to do it over,
**[20:37] Nagomu**
then you should, right?
**[20:40] Nagomu**
Say, Itsuka...
**[20:43] Nagomu**
Want to play?
**[20:47] Itsuka**
I don't know if the me from
two years ago would say yes.
**[20:51] Nagomu**
Well, yeah, that's true, but...
**[20:55] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[20:58] Itsuka**
I suppose I wouldn't mind making a snowman.
**[21:02] Nagomu**
Great!
**[21:04] Nagomu**
Then, I'll make your face, Itsuka!
**[21:07] Itsuka**
If you make it ugly, I'm going to be angry!
**[21:12] Fuki**
What are you two doing?!
**[21:14] Fuki**
Honestly, you've both gotten so cold!
**[21:16] Fuki**
And, Nagomu, you have prep work to do!
**[21:18] Fuki**
And I don't have time to heat
the bath at this time of day!
**[21:21] Nagomu**
Oh! Let's grill up some mochi.
**[21:22] Fuki**
Mochi?!
**[21:23] Nagomu**
There's some zenzai soup
left over from yesterday.
**[21:26] Nagomu**
I'll warm it up and eat it.
**[21:27] Nagomu**
Itsuka, you should have some, too.
**[21:29] Fuki**
You're having something
like that before breakfast?
**[21:32] Itsuka**
Well...
**[21:35] Itsuka**
Just a little.
**[23:11] Itsuka**
It's only snowing a little now.
**[23:14] Nagomu**
Yes, but it really snowed a lot, didn't it?
**[23:16] ---**
And we're already halfway through February.
**[23:19] Nagomu**
Halfway?
**[23:20] Nagomu**
Huh? What's the date today, again?
**[23:22] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[23:23] Nagomu**
I have this sweet sort of image in my head...
**[23:25] Nagomu**
Like a trick-or-treat sort of thing...
**[23:29] Itsuka**
At the very least,
**[23:30] ---**
I don't think it's a day where adults
should be sponging off of children.
**[23:35] Itsuka**
You're the one who demanded it.
Why are you making that face?
**[23:38] Itsuka**
Well, if I don't leave soon, I'll be late.
**[23:44] Itsuka**
I'm going now.
**[23:47] Nagomu**
Come back safe!

**[00:18] Nagomu**
* I wonder if it's because she's*

Itsuka-chan! Morning!

Okay. It's a promise.

If you're lying, I'll make

That'd be rough.

At the end of this month,

**[02:48] Saki**
That's Itsuka-chan's birthday, right?
**[02:50] Fuki**
We'll have to make lots of
chicken karaage this year, too.
**[02:53] Masa**
What will we do about the cake?
**[02:56] Fuki**
Yes... I wonder if the same as
last year will be all right.
**[02:59] Fuki**
What do children these days like?
**[03:03] Hiiro**
Um...
**[03:05] Hiiro**
About the cake...
**[03:07] Hiiro**
What about making it out of wagashi?
**[03:09] Saki**
That sounds good!
**[03:10] Hiiro**
When I worked at Hachiten,
we got some orders for those.
**[03:14] Masa**
Then, shall we brainstorm together?

**[03:27] Nagomu**
At last, the time for
me to use this has come!
**[03:30] Fuki**
What is that?
**[03:31] ---**
I've been thinking and thinking
about where I'll take her!
**[03:31] Saki**
Apparently, Itsuka gave it
to him for his birthday.
**[03:34] Saki**
He said it's a "Going
Somewhere Together Ticket."
**[03:37] Nagomu**
Every morning I look at this
and think, "Is this a dream?"
**[03:41] Hiiro**
Nagomu-san...
**[03:42] Saki**
Is it all right if I find this off-putting?
**[03:45] Nagomu**
What's going on? Everyone's all together.
**[03:47] Fuki**
If you're happy, that's the
most important thing.
**[03:53] Nagomu**
Dad, what're you doing?
**[03:55] Heigo**
There's a hanami festival coming
up at the Nonoguchi Jinja, right?
**[03:59] Heigo**
I'm checking the sweets that
are meant for the tea party.
**[04:02] Nagomu**
Really? Oh, there's sakura
mochi in the order, too.
**[04:05] Hiego**
Speaking of which, how was
it while you were in Tokyo?
**[04:09] Heigo**
Was it all Choumeiji-style?
**[04:10] Nagomu**
Um... Well, there were
Choumeiji-style ones, too.
**[04:14] Nagomu**
In the Kanto area, they're made of an
wrapped in a thin skin cooked in a pan.
**[04:18] Nagomu**
A temple called Choumeiji used
to sell them at their gate.
**[04:20] ---**
I think that's where the name came from.
**[04:22] Nagomu**
In the Kansai area, an is wrapped
in steamed doumyoji rice flour,
**[04:26] ---**
named in honor of Doumyouji Temple.
**[04:27] Nagomu**
We don't see the Choumeiji-style
much around here,
**[04:30] Nagomu**
but lots of places in Tokyo sold both kinds.
**[04:33] Heigo**
Really...
**[04:34] Nagomu**
But you seem to be staying nicely
within your comfort zone.
***SIGN*** Spring's Arrival

**[04:39] Nagomu**
If you added gold leaf to make it look like
**[04:41] ---**
sunlight was striking it,
that would be nice, right?
**[04:44] Heigo**
*Gold leaf...*
**[04:48] Heigo**
Don't just say things
as they come to you!
**[04:50] Heigo**
If you carelessly use gold leaf and ruin the
balance of the piece, it'll only look crass!
**[04:54] Nagomu**
Yes, sir...
**[04:55] Heigo**
Try saying that after you've gained
some knowledge and experience!
**[04:59] Nagomu**
Yes, I will.
**[05:06] (Flashback) child Nagomu**
Gramps, wouldn't it be better to
make the color of this darker?
**[05:09] (Flashback) child Nagomu**
It's making the white of

**[05:14] Heigo**
He's always been so impudent...

**[05:24] Heigo**
Masa-san, take care of the next batch for me!
**[05:26] Masa**
Yes, sir!
**[05:27] Nagomu**
I've made some extra boxes!
**[05:30] Heigo**
What about the inventory check?
**[05:31] Nagomu**
Finished!
**[05:50] Heigo**
Good. Now, drain off the bitterness.
**[05:52] Nagomu**
Yes, sir.
**[05:55] Fuki**
Itsuka, what are you doing?
**[05:59] Itsuka**
Um, I was going to take a bath, and I saw
that the workshop lights were on.
**[06:02] Fuki**
Oh, Nagomu is cooking an.
**[06:06] Itsuka**
Cooking an?
**[06:08] Fuki**
I thought it would be a while off yet,
**[06:11] Fuki**
but Otousan just isn't good
at restraining himself.
**[06:14] Itsuka**
What?
**[06:15] (Flashback) Heigo**
He came home saying stupid stuff about
how he'd inherit the shop from me.
**[06:19] (Flashback) Heigo**
I'll run him ragged doing
chores for a full three years!
**[06:22] Fuki**
He said all of that, and yet...
**[06:25] Fuki**
Starting a few days ago, I saw
him staring at the calendar.
**[06:28] ---**
I wondered what he was doing.
**[06:30] Fuki**
But today happens to be a Day of
Future Harvests, so we can expect good luck.
**[06:33] Itsuka**
Day of Future Harvests?
**[06:35] Fuki**
A single grain of unhulled rice can
grow into many times that amount.
**[06:39] Fuki**
So this is a day that can bring
great returns in the future.
**[06:42] Fuki**
The exact dates change every year, though.
**[06:45] Fuki**
Starting a new job,
opening a store, planting seeds,
**[06:48] Fuki**
spending or investing money... It's a day
they say is good for that sort of thing.
**[06:54] Itsuka**
*So his face can look like that, too.*
**[06:59] Ituska**
* When he first came back,*
* he was unreliable, but...*
**[07:03] Itsuka**
*I guess it has been a year since then.*
**[07:08] Fuki**
Come now. Go take your bath.
**[07:11] Itsuka**
Yes, I will.
**[07:14] Saki**
You're asking what Itsuka-chan
and I talk about?
**[07:18] Saki**
Normal stuff.
**[07:19] Nagomu**
And what is that "normal stuff"?
**[07:21] Nagomu**
What do the dads in this world talk about
with their daughters? Dreams? Wishes?
**[07:25] Saki**
Wouldn't it be things
like school and friends?
**[07:29] Itsuka**
What are you guys talking about in secret?
**[07:32] Nagomu**
Just work assignments and going out
drinking together again! Stuff like that!
**[07:36] Saki**
That's right! That's right!
**[07:37] Itsuka**
If you slack off too much, the master's
fists are going to come flying.
**[07:40] Nagomu**
Yes, you're right.
**[07:42] Nagomu**
Oh, Itsuka!
**[07:44] Nagomu**
About tomorrow...
**[07:46] Itsuka**
Tomorrow?
**[07:47] Nagomu**
Um, well...
**[07:49] Itsuka**
Don't oversleep.
**[07:53] Nagomu**
*It wasn't a dream!*
**[07:55] Saki**
*He's so easy to read!*

* Lately he's been working until*

Hey. Happy birthday, Itsuka.
**[09:12] Itsuka**
Thank you.
**[09:14] Fuki**
So you were awake. How will you be going?
**[09:17] Nagomu**
We'll drive. I just went and got gas.
**[09:20] Nagomu**
Once Itsuka's finished breakfast,
we can take our time and head out.

A little spending money. Take it with you.
**[09:33] Nagomu**
It's okay. I'll pay for everything.

If you get fed up, use that

**[09:38] Nagomu**
You're saying that so I can hear it?

Somewhere I invited you to before.
**[10:03] Itsuka**
Do you mean Hirakata Park?
**[10:06] Nagomu**
That's right. Back then you
were against the idea, but...
**[10:10] (Flashback) Nagomu**
How about Hirakata Park?
**[10:12] (Flashback) Nagomu**
They've got a ride called
Pachanga that's really popular!

**[10:41] Saki**
Huh? Oh, um, well...
**[10:43] Mitsuru**

I mean! You know! It's the first

**[11:19] Itsuka**
So that's why you replied in broken

**[11:23] Itsuka**
Well, I'm glad we arrived safely.
**[11:26] Nagomu**
* Uh-oh. When she's like this,*
* things fall apart fast.*
**[11:30] Nagomu; background**
So, if we're going to

But today is all about you, Itsuka.
**[13:09] Itsuka**
I *will* go home, you know.

**[13:38] Nagomu**
Okay! Where should we go next?
**[13:41] Itsuka**
Nagomu-san, how about your stomach?
**[13:43] Nagomu**
Huh?

**[14:06] Nagomu**
Hey! People might misunderstand!
**[14:08] Nagomu**
It's for your mother. She asked
me to show her pictures.

I wish you were kinda playing around more.

I-I'm so sorry! He's so young that
I did think I might be mistaken.

Father, huh?
**[14:42] Itsuka**
Please don't be so happy about it.
**[14:43] Nagomu**
Do we really look like that?

Please deny it!

Um, is it all right to take the picture?

It's just about time.

Are you sure you don't
want to buy souvenirs?
**[15:32] Itsuka**
Yes.

I'm so glad! Is she all right?
**[16:17] Itsuka**
Nagomu-san?
**[16:23] Itsuka**
Where are you?
**[16:24] Itsuka**
Nagomu-san?
**[16:26] Itsuka**
*Did he head toward the parking lot?*
**[16:29] Itsuka**
* No. It's probably better if*
* I don't move around too much.*
**[16:34] Itsuka**
* After a little while, I'll go*
* to the information center.*
**[16:38] Itsuka**
* And if I need it, I have the*
* spending money the old man gave me.*
**[16:43] Itsuka**
* Even alone, I'll be able*
* to do something about this.*
**[17:05] Nagomu**
Yeah. Got i—
**[17:10] Nagomu**
Itsuka?
**[17:13] Nagomu**
Oh, Mom, sorry. Yeah. We should
be back around then.
**[17:17] Itsuka**
* He was so close. I was*
* the one who looked away.*
**[17:18] Nagomu; background**
Okay, bye.
**[17:23] Nagomu**
What's wrong?
**[17:26] Itsuka**
Nothing's wrong.
**[17:30] Nagomu**
Well, not that I mind.
**[17:34] Nagomu**
Just don't stretch my clothes out, okay?
**[17:45] Nagomu**
Man, that was fun. Wasn't it, Itsuka?
**[17:49] Itsuka**
Yes.

There's a taiyaki vendor.
**[17:55] Itsuka**
When I came here before, Papa bought me some.
**[17:59] Itsuka**
I don't know if it's the
same stall or not, though.
**[18:02] Nagomu**
Wow, really?
**[18:04] Itsuka**
Huh? I, um...
**[18:06] Itsuka**
I mean, yes, I came before,
but I was little, so I forgot—
**[18:07] Nagomu**
Should we buy some? I mean,
since we're here and everything.
**[18:10] taiyaki vendor**
Welcome!
**[18:11] Nagomu**
Excuse me. Can I have two with anko?
**[18:14] taiyaki vendor**
Thank you! That'll be 240 yen.
**[18:18] taiyaki vendor**
Here you go.
**[18:19] Nagomu**
Thanks.
**[18:21] Nagomu**
Here, Itsuka.
**[18:23] taiyaki vendor**
How nice! You came to play
here with your father, huh?
**[18:27] Nagomu**
*Oh, she's gonna deny it again, right?*
**[18:30] Itsuka**
Thank you.
**[18:31] Nagomu**
Huh?
**[18:35] Nagomu**
Itsuka, are you all right with...?
**[18:38] Itsuka**
Every single time is too much trouble.
**[18:40] Itsuka**
For today, it's fine.
**[18:45] Nagomu**
I see.
**[18:48] Nagomu**
Well, let's hurry home. Everyone's waiting.
**[18:51] Itsuka**
Yes.

It's from Nagomu.
**[19:01] Fuki**
What did he say?
**[19:03] Kanoko**
It seems they enjoyed their outing.
**[19:06] Fuki**
I'm so glad.
**[19:08] Mitsuru**
That's a relief.
**[19:10] Fuki**
Well, then, I suppose I should start
frying up the chicken karaage.
**[19:13] Kanoko**
I'll help!
**[19:15] Mitsuru**
S-So will I!
**[19:33] Itsuka**
I'm back!
**[19:34] Heigo**
They're back.
**[19:39] Itsuka**
What a feast!
**[19:41] Nagomu**
Wow!
**[19:42] Hiiro**
There's a cake, too.
***SIGN*** Itsuka Happy Birthday
**[19:45] Itsuka**
That's amazing! A wagashi cake!
**[19:48] Itsuka**
Thank you so much!
**[19:50] Fuki**
Well, now, everyone must be hungry.
**[19:53] Fuki**
Let's get started.
**[19:57] everyone**
Happy birthday!
**[19:59] Itsuka**
Th-Thank you.
**[20:03] Heigo**
You've got a heap of presents there!
**[20:06] Nagomu**
Here. This is from me.
**[20:09] Nagomu**
You can open it now.
**[20:11] Mitsuru**
Oh! How cute!
**[20:14] Kanoko**
It really is!
**[20:15] Itsuka**
Thank you, Nagomu-san.
**[20:18] Nagomu**
What's this? I thought
I was your father today!
**[20:21] Fuki**
Father?
**[20:22] Heigo**
What?
**[20:23] Nagomu**
The thing is, people mistook me for
her dad, and Itsuka said it was okay!
**[20:28] Itsuka**
Just for today, understand?
**[20:29] Nagomu**
But there's only a little bit of today left!
**[20:31] Nagomu**
Give me an extension!
**[20:34] Itsuka**
No!
**[20:36] Heigo**
Come, Itsuka.
**[20:37] Heigo**
Forget about Nagomu. Eat whatever you like.
**[20:40] Fuki**
And you, Nagomu? What will you drink?
***SIGN*** Itsuka
Happy Birthday
**[20:43] Nagomu**
Oh, I guess I'll have a beer.
**[20:44] Heigo**
Make it a low-malt happoushu instead.
**[20:45] Nagomu**
Aw, c'mon!
**[22:47] Nagomu**
What are you doing?
**[22:49] Itsuka**
Nothing in particular.
**[22:51] Nagomu**
I sent pictures from today to your mother.
**[22:54] Itsuka**
Oh, thanks.
**[23:01] Nagomu**
And about your father...
**[23:03] Nagomu**
It's only that now isn't the time.
I'm sure that one day you'll see him again.
**[23:07] Itsuka**
How did you...
**[23:09] Nagomu**
Of course I know.
**[23:11] Nagomu**
You were looking for your father
at Hirakata Park, too, right?
**[23:15] Nagomu**
And... the first time I met you, too, I guess.
**[23:20] Nagomu**
Still...
**[23:21] Nagomu**
For now, if you can relax and feel
safe here, that's enough, right?
**[23:25] Itsuka**
Nagomu-san, you still don't understand me.
**[23:29] Itsuka**
It's because I feel safe
that I can wait here.
**[23:37] Nagomu**
Well, that's true.
**[23:40] Nagomu**
I still have a lot of training to do.
