**[00:01] Shinon**
As of today, our finals are over!
**[00:03] Shinon**
And since we've got a break coming up,
how about we go on a trip together?
**[00:07] Nana**
Ooh! I wanna go on a trip!
**[00:09] Tsutsuji**
The club camp we went on
before was fun, so why not?
**[00:12] Kurea**
I'm in.
**[00:14] Mako**
U-Um...
**[00:16] Mako**
I was planning to go home to visit family.
**[00:19] Shinon**
What?! For real?
**[00:21] Mako**
Yeah. I promised to go home
when we got a longer break.
**[00:25] Nana**
I see.
**[00:26] Kurea**
Actually, Shinon, don't you
need to visit home, too?
**[00:29] Kurea**
You and Mako are from the same town, right?
**[00:32] Shinon**
Come to think of it, they *have* been
telling me to come home for a while.
**[00:35] Kurea**
You probably should, then.
**[00:37] Shinon**
I know. But everyone's already
in the mood for a trip.
**[00:42] Mako; internal**
* I feel bad for throwing their plans off...*
* Is there anything I can do?*
**[00:47] Mako**
Oh!
**[00:48] Mako**
We might all be able to stay
at my grandma's house.
**[00:51] Shinon**
What? For real?
**[00:53] Mako**
Yeah. It's close to my parents' house,
and my grandma is living with them,
**[00:58] Mako**
so the house is empty right now.
**[01:00] Shinon**
That would be great! That way,
we could visit home *and* go on a trip!
**[01:03] Nana**
I wanna see Makocchan's hometown!
**[01:06] Tsutsuji**
I'd definitely be interested, too.
**[01:08] Kurea**
Mako, are you sure that would be okay?
**[01:10] Mako**
It should be, I think. I'll ask.
**[01:13] Kurea**
Then I'll ask Mom if we can borrow the car.
**[01:17] Kurea**
They'll still be able to do restaurant
deliveries with my grandpa's car.
**[01:20] Mako**
Thanks, Kurea-chan!
**[01:22] Nana; background**
Yay! We'll get to go on
another drive together!
**[01:22] Shinon**
Going back home, huh?
**[01:24] Kurea; background**
I'll handle the freeways.
**[01:26] Shinon**
Makocchi, Makocchi!
**[01:26] Nana; background**
Yes, please do.
**[01:28] Mako**
Hm?
**[01:28] Shinon**
Since we're going home, wanna see if we
can meet up with Yunacchi and Hiyocchi?
**[01:34] Mako**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Episode 10 "I'm Home"
***SIGN*** Episode 10 "I'm Home"
**[03:13] Nana**
It's so beautiful!
**[03:15] Tsutsuji**
What a lovely place.
**[03:18] Mako**
Turn left at the next signal,
and it's just a little farther!
**[03:22] Kurea**
Wow. So this is where you grew up, Mako?
**[03:26] Mako**
K-Kurea-chan?
**[03:28] Kurea**
Shinon can't handle freeways,
so it's just been me driving this whole time.
**[03:33] Nana**
And we left at 4 AM...
**[03:35] Tsutsuji**
Do you want an energy drink?
**[03:37] Kurea**
I might have one more later.
**[03:48] Mako's mom**
*Yes?*
**[03:50] Mako**
Mom, we're here!
**[03:53] Shinon**
Makocchi's house! This brings back memories.
**[03:55] Shinon**
I used to come here to play all the time.
**[03:58] Nana**
Kurea-chan, are you okay?
**[04:00] Kurea**
I'll just go to sleep.
**[04:01] Tsutsuji**
Please hold off just a little longer.
**[04:04] Mako's mom**
Welcome back, Mako.
**[04:06] Mako**
I'm home.
**[04:07] Mako's mom**
Oh, Shinon-chan! This is so nostalgic.
Have you been well?
**[04:11] Shinon**
It's been a long time!
**[04:13] Mako's mom**
I'm so happy that you're
hanging out with Mako again.
**[04:17] Mako's mom**
Are the girls behind you from your club, too?
**[04:19] Shinon**
Y-Yes!
**[04:20] Mako's mom**
Thank you for traveling so far to come here.
**[04:24] Tsutsuji**
Not at all. Thank you for having us.
**[04:27] Tsutsuji**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Tsutsuji Higa.
**[04:31] Tsutsuji**
The sleeping one is Kurea Furutachi.
**[04:33] Nana**
Huh? Um, I-I...
**[04:36] Mako's grandma**
Hello.
**[04:42] Mako**
Grandma, I'm home.
**[04:44] Mako's grandma**
Welcome back, Mako.
My, have you grown taller again?
**[04:48] Mako**
I'm in university now,
so I'm as tall as I'll ever be.
**[04:51] Mako's mom**
You're all staying at Grandma's
house today, aren't you?
**[04:54] Mako**
Yeah. We're staying the night
and going back tomorrow.
**[04:57] Mako**
Will you tell Dad when he gets back?
**[05:00] Mako's mom**
All right.
**[05:01] Mako's mom**
I've cleaned the house, so feel free to
use the futons and cooking equipment.
**[05:06] Mako**
Thank you!
**[05:07] Mako's grandma**
Do you remember how to use the irori hearth?
**[05:10] Mako**
Yeah, don't worry.
**[05:12] Shinon**
You're going to cook over an irori?
**[05:14] Mako**
Yeah! Grandma's house has an irori, and we
used to cook there together all the time.
**[05:18] Mako's grandma**
Ah, the memories.
**[05:20] Shinon**
I see. So that's why you're so good at cooking.
**[05:27] Shinon**
I guess I'll do the driving
to your grandma's house.
**[05:52] Tsutsuji**
What an impressive traditional home.
**[05:55] Nana**
I've seen these in period dramas.
**[05:57] Shinon**
It really stands out.
**[06:02] Tsutsuji**
So this is one of those dirt-floored rooms!
**[06:05] Nana**
I've never seen one before!
**[06:07] Tsutsuji**
That's a kamado stove, isn't it?
**[06:11] Shinon**
Makocchi, when was this house built?
**[06:14] Mako**
I don't know, but I've heard it was
before my grandma was born.
**[06:18] Shinon**
Wow.
**[06:19] Mako**
Let me give you a little tour.
**[06:21] Mako**
This is the room with the irori.
**[06:23] Nana**
We can definitely pretend
we're in a folk tale here!
**[06:25] Tsutsuji**
That's something you want to do?
**[06:27] Mako**
This is the tatami room.
**[06:29] Nana**
There's a hibachi brazier!
**[06:32] Nana**
What's that?
**[06:33] Mako**
A kamidana.
**[06:34] Mako**
We'll lay out the futons
in this tatami room here.
**[06:37] Mako**
We can leave our bags here, too.
**[06:39] Shinon; Kurea**
Okay!
**[06:40] Shinon**
Makocchi, should we be heading out?
**[06:42] Mako**
Oh, yeah, you're right.
**[06:44] Tsutsuji**
You're going to see friends, aren't you?
**[06:46] Tsutsuji**
It's your visit home. Don't worry about us.
**[06:50] Mako**
I'm sorry we ended up making separate plans.
**[06:53] Mako**
You can use whatever's
in the fridge for lunch.
**[06:56] Nana**
Okay! We'll see you later!
**[06:58] Tsutsuji**
Have a good time.
**[07:06] Nana**
There they go. What do you want to do now?
**[07:11] Tsutsuji**
I had a fun idea.
**[07:15] Tsutsuji**
She's fast asleep.
**[07:17] Nana**
Well, she did do all the driving for us.
**[07:21] Tsutsuji**
Yeah. So let's make lunch while she's sleeping.
**[07:26] Nana**
Yeah!
**[07:29] Tsutsuji**
There are lots of ingredients in here.
**[07:32] Nana**
I wasn't expecting this house
to have a fridge in it.
**[07:35] Tsutsuji**
They said we can use the ingredients
and cooking equipment here.
**[07:40] Nana**
Let's make a meal that'll
blow Kurea-chan away!
**[07:43] Tsutsuji**
First, we need to start a fire.
**[07:46] Nana**
Fire?
**[07:47] Tsutsuji**
You can't cook on an irori without one.
**[07:51] Nana**
Do you think we can do it?
**[07:53] Tsutsuji**
Well, we'll look stuff up online as we go.
**[07:56] Nana**
Oh, right. It's in times like these
that we rely on modern conveniences.
**[08:06] Nana**
All right. I've completely
memorized how to use an irori.
**[08:10] Tsutsuji**
Does your affinity for puzzles allow
you to do stuff like that, too?
**[08:14] Nana**
First, we have to find the
fire-extinguishing pot.
**[08:16] Tsutsuji**
A pot?
**[08:17] Tsutsuji**
Is it this?
**[08:19] Nana**
Next, we take some charcoal from it.
**[08:22] Nana**
It's called keshizumi.
**[08:24] Nana**
Since it's been burned once already,
**[08:26] Nana**
it catches easily, making it
perfect for starting new fires.
**[08:29] Tsutsuji**
Wow.
**[08:30] Nana**
The article said we just use a torch lighter
and a blowpipe to get the fire going.
**[08:34] Nana**
Found it!
**[08:35] Nana**
Here's the blowpipe! I'll handle this part!
**[08:38] Tsutsuji**
Did you find instructions for that online, too?
**[08:40] Nana**
Nope, but I've seen it on TV, so I'll be fine!
**[08:43] Tsutsuji**
Right. Now all we need is a torch lighter.
**[08:53] Nana**
Hitsuji-chan! Hitsuji-chan!
**[08:55] Tsutsuji**
Did you find a gas torch?
**[08:57] Nana**
I found a flint and striker!
**[09:00] Tsutsuji**
Huh? We're starting the fire with those?
**[09:02] Nana**
This is a traditional home! They probably
used these instead of a torch, right?
**[09:08] Tsutsuji**
Good point!
**[09:10] Nana**
Okay! Let's use these to make
Kurea a delicious lunch!
**[09:23] Nana**
I-I can't get it to catch at all.
**[09:25] Tsutsuji**
Oh, dear.
**[09:26] Nana**
I'm doing it exactly how it said online.
**[09:29] Nana**
I'll try one more time.
Once I move the tinder to the charcoal,
**[09:33] Nana**
use the blowpipe to give it air.
**[09:34] Tsutsuji**
Didn't you want to use the blowpipe?
**[09:44] Nana**
It caught!
**[09:46] Nana**
This might be perfect!
**[09:52] Nana**
We finally got the spark to catch!
**[09:55] Nana**
Hitsuji-chan, if you would!
**[09:57] Tsutsuji**
Right.
**[10:07] Nana**
You should probably get a little
closer and blow more gently.
**[10:10] Tsutsuji**
S-Sorry.
**[10:19] Tsutsuji; Nana**
Yay! We did it!
**[10:23] Nana**
It finally caught! Hooray!
**[10:30] Tsutsuji**
You know, 'tis merely hot water,
and yet, hot water it is.
**[10:34] Tsutsuji**
Simply boiling water
used to take all this work.
**[10:38] Nana**
Yeah.
**[10:42] Kurea**
Huh? You two cooked for me?
Now I'm looking forward to it.
**[10:49] Nana**
Um...
**[10:54] Kurea**
This is instant yakisoba.
What did you cook?
**[11:00] Tsutsuji**
This is our special, hand-crafted,
pre-boiled water.
**[11:03] Nana**
Boiling water is a worthy
demonstration of cooking.
**[11:12] Shinon**
They said they'd be here soon.
**[11:14] Mako**
R-Right.
**[11:17] Shinon**
Makocchi, are you nervous?
**[11:20] Mako**
W-Well, I haven't seen Hiyori-chan
or Yuna-chan in so long!
**[11:25] Mako**
I-I don't look weird or anything, do I?
**[11:27] Shinon**
It's gonna be fine!
**[11:29] Hiyori**
Oh, that's Oshinko and...
**[11:30] Yuna**
Makocchi?
**[11:32] Hiyori**
I knew it was you!
**[11:33] Yuna**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[11:35] Shinon**
I haven't seen you two in forever!
**[11:37] Hiyori**
Yeah, long time no see!
**[11:38] Shinon**
Yay!
**[11:40] Hiyori**
This restaurant brings back memories, too!
**[11:42] Shinon**
Makocchi picked it!
**[11:44] Yuna**
How'd you travel here?
**[11:45] Shinon**
Oh, we drove.
**[11:47] Hiyori**
In that case, let's go for a drive sometime!
**[11:50] Shinon**
Okay!
**[11:51] Yuna**
It's been a while, Makocchi. It's me, Yuna.
**[11:55] Hiyori**
And I'm Hiyori! Do you remember me?
**[11:57] Mako**
I-It's been a long time!
**[11:59] Shinon**
Makocchi, calm down.
**[12:01] Shinon**
She's got a case of nerves, I think.
**[12:05] Yuna**
Well, we haven't seen each
other since grade school.
**[12:07] Yuna**
You really got a lot taller, didn't you?
**[12:10] Mako**
No, no! I haven't changed at all!
**[12:13] Hiyori**
Uh, I think you'd have grown at least a little.
**[12:15] Shinon**
Well, we shouldn't just
stand around. Let's go in!
**[12:19] Hiyori; Yuna**
Okay!
**[12:28] Yuna**
Oh, she's gone back to
being the old Makocchi.
**[12:31] Mako**
Do you remember back when the four
of us wanted to come here as kids?
**[12:37] Shinon**
But we couldn't afford to
because we had no money, right?
**[12:40] Mako**
Yeah. Ever since then, I've always
wanted to come here sometime.
**[12:45] Mako**
So what are you two up to now?
**[12:48] Yuna**
I'm helping with my dad's work.
**[12:51] Hiyori**
I'm going to a university in Osaka.
**[12:54] Hiyori**
But I'm glad you two ended
up at the same university.
**[12:58] Shinon**
Huh?
**[12:58] Yuna**
We never would've seen
Makocchi again if you hadn't.
**[13:01] Mako**
I-I'm sorry.
**[13:03] Mako**
I didn't get a cell phone until high school,
so it was hard to stay in touch.
**[13:08] Hiyori**
It's fine! Don't beat yourself up about it.
**[13:11] Yuna**
She's right.
**[13:12] Yuna**
Anyway, I heard you two started a club!
**[13:16] Shinon**
There it is! The prompt I've been waiting for!
**[13:19] Shinon**
You see, I found myself craving the
challenge of founding an organization.
**[13:24] Shinon**
We're a creative, motivated club,
**[13:28] Shinon**
but new endeavors are
always met with resistance.
**[13:31] Shinon**
It was tough getting the university's approval
and building everything from the ground up.
**[13:36] Mako**
It was tough because Shinon-chan wanted to
create a fake club where we just slacked off.
**[13:40] girls**
Huh?
**[13:41] Hiyori**
Oshinko, what have you been up to?
**[13:44] Yuna**
And knowing Oshinko,
what other messes has she made?
**[13:47] Shinon**
Nothing! It's nothing!
**[13:48] Mako**
When Shinon-chan's money went missing,
we all helped look for it,
**[13:52] Mako**
only for her to find it in her own wallet.
**[13:54] Mako**
Right after she got her driver's license, she
accidentally got on the freeway and panicked.
**[13:58] Mako**
Oh, and the time—
**[13:59] Shinon**
Please stop! I'm trying to look cool here!
**[14:05] Hiyori**
Thanks for the feast!
**[14:07] Mako**
That was delicious!
**[14:10] Yuna**
What should we do next?
**[14:11] Hiyori**
Want to take a walk around the area?
**[14:14] Hiyori**
I've started feeling all nostalgic.
**[14:16] Shinon**
How about we wander our way
toward our old elementary school?
**[14:19] Mako**
Yeah.
**[14:19] Hiyori**
Okay!
**[15:13] Shinon**
Oh! You can see the school
really well from here!
**[15:18] Yuna**
So many memories.
**[15:20] Hiyori**
Well, we did spend six years here.
**[15:23] Mako**
I wish I could eat one of
their school lunches again!
**[15:25] Yuna**
Oh, speaking of school lunches...
**[15:28] Yuna**
You used to make this really intense face
when they served Hamburg steak.
**[15:34] Shinon**
Makocchi still makes that face.
**[15:37] Hiyori**
She does?
**[15:38] Mako**
Sh-Shinon-chan!
**[15:40] Shinon**
That's payback for earlier!
**[15:44] Shinon**
Still, reminiscing sure is fun, isn't it?
**[15:49] Shinon**
We made the right choice
getting together again.
**[15:51] Hiyori**
Right?
**[15:52] Mako**
I think this is the first time I've ever
talked about old memories this much.
**[15:56] Yuna**
Oh, what's this? A sad story?
**[15:58] Mako**
N-No, nothing like that.
**[16:02] Mako**
I didn't have any friends
in middle or high school,
**[16:05] Mako**
so the only memories I can talk about
are from elementary school.
**[16:08] Yuna**
See? It *is* a sad story.
**[16:10] Mako**
N-No, I have plenty of fun on my own, just...
**[16:13] Mako**
not as much fun as I have
talking with other people.
**[16:16] Shinon**
Huh. But you had all kinds of stories
to tell about university before.
**[16:20] Mako**
Huh?
**[16:20] Shinon**
Like about me losing my money
or ending up on the freeway.
**[16:26] Mako**
Th-That was...
**[16:27] Hiyori**
You totally did.
**[16:29] Hiyori**
You talk about university as if
you've had lots of fun there.
**[16:32] Yuna**
Sounds like you're making lots of memories!
**[16:36] Shinon**
Then why don't I drive us back along the
freeway so you can make another fun memory?
**[16:41] Mako**
P-Please don't!
**[16:43] Shinon**
Just kidding! It was a joke!
**[16:46] Shinon**
But I do have a ton of stuff
I want to do with our club.
**[16:51] Shinon**
The next time you come back here,
**[16:53] Shinon**
you'll have tons of memories to share
with Yunacchi and Hiyocchi!
**[16:59] Mako**
Oh, yeah.
**[17:01] Mako**
You're right.
**[17:09] Shinon**
We're back!
**[17:10] Nana**
Oh, they've returned.
**[17:13] Nana**
Welcome back.
**[17:14] Tsutsuji; Kurea**
Welcome back.
**[17:16] Mako**
Thanks.
**[17:18] Shinon**
What did you three do?
**[17:20] Kurea**
Just took it easy and did some reading.
**[17:22] Nana**
Metal puzzles.
**[17:23] Tsutsuji**
Ukelele and firestarting.
**[17:26] Mako**
Were you all okay for lunch?
**[17:29] Tsutsuji**
We managed to get a fire started,
so we made instant noodles.
**[17:33] Mako**
S-Sorry! I forgot to explain
how to start the fire.
**[17:37] Tsutsuji**
It's all right. It was a valuable
learning experience.
**[17:39] Mako**
I'll get dinner ready right away.
**[17:42] Kurea**
Ah, okay.
**[17:45] Shinon**
Hup!
**[17:51] Mako**
With these ingredients...
How about we make hot pot?
**[17:53] Kurea**
Right. We can make one with chicken,
mushroom, and white dashi.
**[17:57] Nana**
Makocchan! We have the charcoal set up.
**[18:00] Mako**
Thanks! I'll light the fire, then.
**[18:03] Nana**
I'm excited to see your skills
in action, Makocchan!
**[18:05] Mako**
Honestly, you're making
too big a deal of this.
**[18:08] Mako**
Found it!
**[18:11] Mako**
We just use this torch.
**[18:13] MAko**
It lets you light the fire in no time at all.
**[18:15] Mako**
Uh, is something wrong?
**[18:17] Nana**
No. Nothing.
**[18:26] Mako; internal**
* Cut the ingredients for the*
* hot pot into bite-sized pieces.*
**[18:29] Mako; internal**
* Slice the burdock root thinly, then soak it*
* in cold water to remove the astringency.*
**[18:34] Mako; internal**
* Mix flour, potato starch, salt, and water*
* together to make suiton dumplings.*
**[18:39] Mako; internal**
* Knead until the dough*
* is as soft as your earlobe.*
**[18:45] Mako; internal**
* Transfer the fire to the kamado*
* stove and cook the rice.*
**[18:50] Mako; internal**
* Breathe into the blowpipe at a angle*
* without putting your mouth directly on it.*
**[18:56] Mako; internal**
* Wait for fifteen minutes while monitoring*
* the heat of the fire so nothing burns.*
**[19:00] Mako; internal**
* Add the seasonings, broth,*
* and other ingredients to the pot.*
**[19:04] Mako; internal**
*Simmer until everything is cooked through.*
**[19:10] Mako; internal**
* Take some cleaned char, and skewer them*
* to prepare them for cooking over the irori.*
**[19:19] Mako; internal**
* Sprinkle them with salt*
* and turn them frequently.*
**[19:23] Mako; internal**
* Roast them slowly until they*
* take on a good, dark color.*
**[19:33] Mako; internal**
* After steaming for fifteen more minutes,*
* the kamado-cooked rice is ready!*
**[19:38] Mako; internal**
* Once the hot pot ingredients*
* are cooked through,*
**[19:41] Mako; internal**
*add some white miso as a finishing touch,*
**[19:44] Mako; internal**
* and the chicken, mushroom,*
* and white dashi hot pot is ready!*
**[19:49] Shinon**
It looks so good!
**[19:52] Shinon**
Well, then...
**[19:54] everyone**
Time to eat!
**[20:01] Tsutsuji**
The mushrooms have a great
texture. They're delicious!
**[20:06] Shinon**
It's gleaming!
**[20:10] Shinon**
Wow!
**[20:14] Shinon**
For some reason, it tastes
sweeter than usual!
**[20:16] Kurea**
Yeah, it's different from
the usual rice-cooker kind.
**[20:19] Kurea**
It's plumper, or firmer...
**[20:25] Nana**
Wow! It's so good!
**[20:27] Nana**
The flesh is so hot and tender!
**[20:35] Tsutsuji**
Thanks to you, Makocchi, I experienced
all kinds of things today. It was fun.
**[20:39] Nana**
It was the first time I ever started
a fire with flint and striker!
**[20:42] Mako**
With flint and striker?
**[20:43] Mako**
Oh, I made suiton dumplings to finish
things off. Can you still eat more?
**[20:47] girls**
Yes!
**[20:52] Nana**
That was delicious!
**[20:54] Shinon**
I'm so full.
**[20:56] Kurea**
It's gotten kind of chilly, so it was nice
to eat something that warms you up.
**[21:00] Tsutsuji**
We should go take our baths
before we get cold again.
**[21:03] Kurea**
Yeah.
**[21:04] Mako**
U-Um...
**[21:06] Mako**
Before the bath, can we
take a picture together?
**[21:10] Kurea**
Sure, but why all of a sudden?
**[21:12] Mako**
It still doesn't feel quite real having
you all here at my grandma's house,
**[21:17] Mako**
so I wanted to preserve
the evidence in a photo.
**[21:19] Kurea**
Nice idea! Where should we take it?
**[21:21] Tsutsuji**
Shouldn't it be by the irori?
**[21:23] Nana**
I'm all for that!
**[21:25] Mako**
All right, everyone, scoot together!
**[21:28] Mako**
Here we go.
**[21:29] Mako**
Ready, and...
**[21:30] girls**
Thanks for the feast!

*Another photo full of memories.*
**[22:02] Mako; internal**
*I never really took any before these.*
**[22:09] Mako; internal**
* I wonder if the five of us will reminisce*
* together about these memories one day, too.*
**[22:15] Mako; internal**
*I really hope we can.*
**[22:24] Mako; internal**
*Goodnight.*
