[00:04] oos
    Then let's begin
    the final deliberation.
[00:14] oos
    Today, I will be overseeing the process.
[00:17] oos
    My name is Oosawa and I'm with
    Tajimi City's planning committee.
[00:20] oos
    I look forward to working with you.
[00:29] (Flashback) Him
    Fifteen good pieces will get
    special awards from the judges.
[00:34] (Flashback) Him
    Then, there will be two prizes awarded
    each for artistic excellence,
[00:36] (Flashback) Him
    technical excellence, and
    conceptual excellence.
[00:38] (Flashback) Mik
    Three awards given to overall best works,
    and then one best in show award!
[00:43] (Flashback) Tou
    Sometimes the best in show award is
    chosen from the 15 special awards.
[00:50] Hime
    That's only 25 people all together.
[00:53] Mik
    Hime-chan!
[00:55] Mik
    What are you doing? I'm starving!
[00:59] Hime
    Sorry! I'm coming now!
SIGN    A Smile for the Future
[01:09] Tou
    You're really well-prepared,
    bringing this picnic blanket.
[01:13] Mik
    Right? We've been given this opportunity,
    we just have to have a 'lil picnic!
[01:16] Mik
    The sky is blue! It's great to be alive!
[01:19] Hime
    Rolled omelet.
[01:21] Hime
    If one of these has rolled omelet
    in it, I'm going to win a prize!
[01:26] Hime
    Rolled omelet, rolled omelet!
[01:31] Hime
    They don't have any!
[01:32] Hime
    I'm done for! The rolled omelet hates me!
[01:35] mam
    Hey, everyone!
[01:37] mam
    Are you done eating?
[01:39] Him
    No, we just started eating. Good timing!
[01:43] mam
    Ta-da! I got an rolled omelet sandwich
    from that shop that always has a huge line!
[01:48] Tou
    Did you go all the way there to get one?
[01:51] Mik
    So that's what took you this long.
[01:53] mam
    Of course not.
[01:53] Hime
    I should have bet on her!
[01:55] mam
    I had to go to Onada for
    some school business,
[01:56] Him
    No, no. These prayers are
    just superstition anyway!
[01:57] mam
    so I picked it up on the way home.
[02:00] ---
    Huh?
[02:04] Him
    Oh... um...
[02:07] Him
    Let's eat...
[02:10] oos
    Number 127 is called
    "Everybody gather 'round."
[02:17] Man
    That's quite skillful for a high schooler.
[02:21] Wom
    I like the fun world view it conveys.
[02:23] Man
    Very cute.
[02:26] Man2
    "You've got to love
    childishness," literally.
[02:29] Man2
    I like that while it seems playful,
[02:30] Man2
    no corners were cut with the small details.
[02:34] oos
    Number 128 is called
     "Center of the dining table."
[02:39] koi
    Very good! This is truly good.
[02:43] Man3
    The brushwork is very delicate,
[02:45] Man3
    and you can already sense a
    high level of proficiency.
[02:48] Man
    The materials and the glaze
    are also selected perfectly.

[03:01] Hime
    Please.
[03:04] oos
    Then, let's move on to the next entry.
[03:08] oos
    Number 129.
[03:10] oos
    It's "It's a cushion."
[03:13] Man
    This one is funny.
[03:15] koi
    Ah, yes. This is one of those
    things we'd never think of.
[03:21] Wom
    Yes, and even if we did,
    we wouldn't actually make it.
[03:25] Wom2
    If you really want to make something
    to sit on with ceramics,
[03:28] Wom2
    you wouldn't do it like this.
[03:30] Man
    This one didn't have a marker.
[03:33] oos
    Yes, this year a few items without
    markers made it to the final round.
[03:39] Man
    But the artist really challenged themself
    with the crystalline glaze.
[03:42] Man
    I also like the weaving trick.
[03:45] oos
    Anyone else? If not...
[03:47] kus
    This color.
[03:49] oos
    Is there something more?
[03:51] kus
    No, nothing.
[03:53] Sac
    What is it, Kusano-kun?
[03:55] kus
    Just something personal.
[03:58] Sac
    If there is something on your mind,
     you should say it now.
[04:01] Sac
    Especially if it has something
    to do with the appraisal.
[04:04] kus
    I'm sorry.
[04:06] kus
    It's been a while since a piece
    has made me feel this way.
[04:10] kus
    When I first saw it...
[04:12] kus
    I felt...
[04:25] oos
    And now, we will begin the awards ceremony
[04:29] oos
    for the 41st Mino Ware Contest.
[04:32] oos
    We'll begin with the honorable
    mentions in the student category.
[04:38] Hime
    Our names weren't amongst the fifteen
    people who got honorable mentions.
[04:44] Hime
    I figured, if my name is ever getting called,
    this would be when it does.

    And now, we will move on to

    Thank you!
[05:06] oos
    You don't need to stand up.
[05:09] Mik
    I'm sorry!
[05:12] Him
    Congratulations, Kukuri-chan!

    Oh, thank you!

[05:18] Dad
    They should be announcing
    the results by now.
[05:21] Nao
    Don't be so impatient.
[05:24] Dad
    Easy for you to say!
[05:26] Dad
    She still hasn't told me or her
    grandmother what she made!
[05:30] Dad
    Isn't that right?
[05:31] Sac
    She told me on the sly.
[05:34] Dad
    Hey, that's not fair!
[05:37] Nao
    There, there.
[05:38] Dad
    I... I've been holding back this entire time!
[05:42] Sac
    I would've never thought Hime-chan
    would make something like that.
[05:47] Nao
    Right?
[05:49] Dad
    Stop teasing me!
[05:51] Sac
    If you've made it this far,
    you can wait until the end.
[05:54] Sac
    Part of the fun is the anticipation!
[05:59] Dad
    I mean, that's true, but still...
[06:05] Wom
    Continuing with the awards
    for overall excellence.
[06:08] Wom

[06:18] Mik
    You're so amazing, Touko-senpai!
[06:20] Hime
    I knew it! Congratulations!
[06:22] Tou
    Thank you.
[06:28] Tou
    I didn't get my wish this year, either.
[06:39] Wom
    The final award for the Best in Show piece
[06:44] Wom
    will be presented personally by
     representative Aoki Juubei-sensei.

    Any time now.
[07:08] Guy
    Hello!
[07:10] Dad
    Welcome.
[07:12] Guy
    Think we'll win the championship today?
[07:14] Sac
    It would be great if we can beat
    the accursed giant and settle it.
[07:18] Guy
    Dragon god, hear our prayers!
[07:20] Nao
    Sir father, could I borrow
    a broom and a dustpan?
[07:24] Dad
    Sir what now?!
[07:26] Sac
    Anything goes.
[07:37] Him
    Nao-chan!
[07:38] Nao
    Hime-chan!
[07:40] Hime
    Why are you sweeping out here?
[07:43] Nao
    Don't worry about that. So, how did it go?
[07:46] Hime
    Touko-senpai got an excellence award
[07:47] Hime
    and Kukuri-chan got an artistic award.
[07:49] Hime
    And I got...
[07:56] Nao
    Let's go inside.
[07:58] Hime
    Huh?
[07:59] Hime
    I'm home!
[08:02] Dad
    Welcome home!
[08:05] Hime
    A participation award!
[08:07] Nao
    Oh...
[08:09] Hime
    I mean, of course.
[08:11] Dad
    Himeno.
[08:14] Dad
    Did you have fun?
[08:17] Hime
    Yes!
[08:19] Dad
    Yeah?
[08:20] Dad
    That's what matters the most.
[08:24] Hime
    My entry will be back in a week,
     so check it out then.
[08:28] Dad
    Yeah, I'm look forward to it.
[08:42] Hime
    That was a bust.
[08:44] Hime
    I thought I wasn't hoping to
    get an award or anything...
[08:49] Hime
    But still...
SIGN    One week later
[09:02] Hime
    My cushion is back, mom.
[09:06] Hime
    I wonder if Dad will like it.
[09:10] Hime
    He'll probably sit on it and go, "Oh!"
[09:13] Dad
    Himeno, your friends are here.
[09:15] Hime
    Coming!
[09:17] All
    Cheers!
[09:19] mam
    Once again, Kukuri-san and Aoki-san.
[09:22] mam
    Congratulations on your awards.
[09:24] mam
    You did well too, Toyokawa-san.
[09:26] Dad
    I also finalized the new menu item,
    so make sure you try some later.
[09:29] Dad
    I call it "Tajimiso baked curry."
[09:32] Nao
    Oh, so you finally finished it?
    I'd love to try it!
[09:36] oos
    That smells so good!
[09:37] Dad
    Hello!
[09:39] Mik
    Oh, you were the presenter right?
[09:42] Mik
    At the ceramics contest!
[09:45] oos
    You're from the Oribe Academy pottery club!
[09:51] oos
    I'm so happy!
[09:53] oos
    This is totally delicious!
[09:55] oos
    The secret ingredient, the
    hooba miso, is divine!
[09:58] Dad
    Thank you so much!
[10:02] oos
    By the way, I totally loved
    the cushion you made!
[10:07] Hime
    That came out of nowhere.
[10:09] Dad
    It... was a cushion?
[10:12] oos
    How did you come up with the idea?
[10:15] Hime
    I guess it just came to me.
[10:17] oos
    The color was great, too.
[10:19] Hime
    Thank you so much!
[10:22] Dad
    I'm sorry, but could you
    take care of things for a bit?
[10:24] Sac
    Of course, but where are you going?
[10:26] Dad
    I can't wait any more.
[10:28] Sac
    I see.
[10:29] oos
    Can you really sit on that?
[10:31] Him
    Yes! I tried it, and then
    we all tested it out.
[10:35] oos
    I see.
[10:37] oos
    Now I kind of want to try sitting on it.
[10:40] Him
    You can!
[10:41] Him
    It's over by our family altar.
[10:43] oos
    Seriously?!
[10:55] Dad
    This is...
[10:57] oos
    I was talking to the judges
    after the contest.
[11:03] oos
    And they were all saying how
    they all had the same feeling
[11:06] oos
    when they first saw it.
[11:10] oos
    That they really wanted to sit on it.
[11:16] Hime
    Right this way.
[11:20] Hime
    Huh?
[11:31] Dad
    I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!
[11:40] Dad
    But as soon as I saw it,
[11:43] Dad
    I had this overwhelming urge to sit on it.
[11:48] Dad
    Before I knew it, I was already sitting.
[11:53] Hime
    Really?
[12:10] Dad
    Um, Himeno?
[12:16] Hime
    I'm so glad! I'm so glad!
[12:32] Dad
    Himeno...
[12:44] Him
    I did it.
[12:47] Him
    I did it.
[12:54] Him
    Mom...
[12:57] Him
    I did it.
[13:24] Hime
    Even though it took a while,
[13:25] Hime
    I feel like my real pottery
    journey has finally begun.
[13:30] Hime
    I wonder what kind of pieces
    I will create in this town.
[13:41] Hime
    Will there be new encounters
    and discoveries?
[13:48] Hime
    I feel like there will be all
    sorts of things waiting for me.
[13:57] kus
    So she's your daughter, huh?
[14:11] Him
    Oh, right.
[14:14] Him
    When we started serving the baked curry
    on the plates that Mom left behind,
[14:18] Him
    it stirred up quite the buzz.
[14:25] Him
    Next time I fire something,
    maybe I'll make a mug, too!
