[00:03] Hime
    The rainy season has come to Tajimi as well.
[00:05] Hime
    Day after day, it's wet and gloomy.
[00:10] Hime
    I've finished multiple pieces, though.
[00:13] Hime
    I'm starting to get excited.
[00:15] Hime
    Or I was, until a small,
    huge incident occurred.
[00:33] tok
    My... bowl...
[00:36] Hime
    I-I'm so sorry!
[00:41] tok
    Careful... Did you cut your leg?
[00:45] Hime
    I'm fine.
[00:46] tok
    I'm going to bring the vacuum cleaner.
[00:48] tok
    Don't move.
[00:50] tok
    Anything with a form is doomed to break.
[00:53] tok
    All living things must die.
[00:55] tok
    And all who meet, must part.
[02:36] Hime
    So, that's why I'd like
    to make a bowl for my father.
SIGN    The Taste of Ochazuke
[02:43] Nao
    One you made yourself?
[02:46] Tou
    Why not?
[02:47] Tou
    This is the pottery club, after all.
[02:49] Mik
    That's a great idea!
[02:50] Mik
    The bar's pretty high, though.
[02:52] Nao
    Wouldn't it be faster to just buy one?
[02:54] Hime
    Of course, but this was his favorite bowl!
[02:58] Hime
    He's been using it for so long!
[03:00] Mik
    So long, you say?
[03:01] Him
    Yeah.
[03:02] Him
    Since I was in middle school.
[03:06] Him
    Wait.
[03:07] Him
    Maybe even before.
[03:10] Him
    He's had it ever since I can remember.
[03:13] Nao
    That's quite the attachment!
[03:15] Hime
    That's why I was hoping that I could
    make him one that looks exactly the same.
[03:18] Tou
    What kind of bowl was it?
[03:20] Hime
    A bowl for ochazuke.
[03:22] Mik
    Why not just look at the broken pieces?
[03:25] sac
    The broken bowl?
[03:27] sac
    Yeah, those shards are dangerous,
    so I threw them away.
[03:30] sac
    Luckily, today was the collection day
    for broken glass and ceramics.
[03:32] sac
    They only take those
    once every three months.
[03:35] Hime
    Today, of all days...
[03:40] Hime
    Was it something like this?
[03:43] Mik
    It really leans to the left, huh.
[03:46] Nao
    No, that's just the drawing...
[03:48] Hime
    I must have seen that thing every day...
[03:50] Tou
    Want to look for a similar one?
[04:08] Hime
    The color was close to this,
[04:11] Hime
    and the shape reminds me of this one.
[04:14] Tou
    So your father prefers
    a more subdued design.
[04:17] Hime
    True.
[04:21] Hime
    I'll try making it while picturing it...
[04:28] (Flashback) tok
    Hmm,
[04:30] (Flashback) tok
    some ochazuke with the
    leftover sesame mackerel.
[04:33] (Flashback) tok
    This is going to be good!
[04:35] (Flashback) tok
    Ouch, that's hot!
[04:41] Hime
    The results of my research.
[04:43] Hime
    I believe it was about as
    thick and deep as this!
[04:47] Hime
    He does like to put a lot of tea in.
[04:49] Tou
    Wouldn't a bowl that thick
    and deep get quite heavy
[04:52] Tou
    once filled with ochazuke?
[04:54] Hime
    Maybe I had the wrong idea...
[04:56] Mik
    If you think it'll get heavy,
    why not add a handle?
[04:59] Mik
    And then he could use a wooden
    spoon when he's eating?
[05:01] nao
    This has nothing to do with
    the broken bowl anymore.
[05:05] Tou
    Maybe so.
[05:06] Tou
    Even if it's not exactly
    like the other bowl,
[05:09] Tou
    I think you should just make
    a bowl that you think
[05:12] Tou
    would be perfect for your father.
[05:14] Hime
    Oh...
[05:16] Hime
    You're right.
[05:27] mik
    What? It's six already?
[05:29] nao
    It's so hard to gauge the time
    during the rainy season.
[05:31] Tou
    Okay, then we're done for today.
[05:34] All
    Okay!
[05:58] Mik
    I brought you some provisions.
[06:00] Him
    Wait, what?
[06:01] Him
    Senpai, you're here, too?
[06:03] Mik
    Since you told me that you'd be here
    this morning working on the design,
[06:07] Mik
    I brought her along.
[06:09] Tou
    And? Did you get a good design done?
[06:11] Him
    I'm not there yet, but I'm trying!
[06:14] Tou
    Actually, I wanted to give you this.
[06:16] Him
    Huh?
[06:19] Tou
    They're pickled plums.
[06:21] Tou
    I thought maybe your father might
    want to have them with his ochazuke.
[06:24] Him
    Oh, wow! Thank you!
[06:27] Mik
    And then, and then!
[06:28] Mik
    Until your bowl is done,
    maybe this could be a stand-in!
[06:32] Mik
    Ta da!
[06:34] Him
    Wow, it's lovely!
[06:35] Mik
    It's nice, huh? Senpai made it last year.
[06:39] Him
    Last year? That's amazing.
[06:41] Tou
    Mika-chan suddenly came to my
    house and picked that out.
[06:44] Tou
    I hope we're not imposing...
[06:46] Him
    I'm super grateful!
[06:48] Him
    Thank you for letting me use it!
[06:51] tok
    It's from Aoki-san?
[06:53] Him
    Yeah! She said we can borrow it until
    you find something you really like.
[06:57] sac
    Well that's quite a lovely piece.
[07:00] sac
    You should try holding it, Toki-kun.
[07:02] tok
    Hmm?
[07:05] tok
    Oh, this is...
[07:07] tok
    Yeah, it feels good!
[07:11] Hime
    That looks delicious!
[07:13] tok
    The simplicity of the bowl really
    makes the pickled plums shine.
[07:16] tok
    Thank you for this food.
[07:29] tok
    What is this?
[07:34] Him
    All in one go?
[07:36] sac
    Just don't burn yourself, Toki-kun.
[07:39] tok
    Thank you for the food!
[07:49] Hime
    I was thinking of going
    for something like this.
[07:52] Hime
    My dad's favorite is salmon
    ochazuke, so I was thinking of
[07:54] Hime
    making something that
    compliments the salmon.
[07:57] Hime
    He always overstuffs the bowl,
[07:58] Hime
    so I'd say that the ingredients
    can only come up to about here.
[08:01] Mik
    Ooh! Hime-chan, you're just
    overflowing with love for your father!
[08:05] Tou
    I think it's really wonderful.
[08:07] Tou
    That's an invaluable source
    of energy when making things.
[08:10] Hime
    Okay.
[08:11] Nao
    You're really going to smash this!
[08:38] Hime
    Tomorrow I can finally paint them.
[08:41] Hime
    I hope the bisque firing turned out well.
[08:47] tok
    You know, I'm starting to feel sad
    about having to return this bowl.
[08:50] sac
    Is it really that good for ochazuke?
[08:53] tok
    It's a lot like my old one when I hold it.
[08:57] tok
    Like how gentle it feels in your hand.
[08:59] sac
    Is it now?
[09:00] tok
    It's quite impressive that she made
    this in her first year of high school.
[09:04] sac
    Isn't that around when the
    other one was made, too?
[09:08] tok
    Yes, it was also Himena's
    first year of high school.
[09:13] tok
    At first, she'd always give
    me these weird pieces.
[09:17] tok
    Almost like a prank.
[09:18] tok
    So once I told her to give me
    something I could actually use.
[09:22] tok
    Then she made me that.
[09:26] sac
    It lasted long then, 30 years.
[09:31] tok
    The bottom had chipped quite some time ago,
[09:33] tok
    and there were some cracks as well,
[09:35] tok
    so it was really inevitable.
[09:40] Him
    The bar's way up there now...
[09:49] Him
    But I have to do it!
[09:53] Him
    It's been two weeks since then.
[09:55] Him
    I focused on nothing but that one bowl.
[10:00] Him
    Being this excited about it being finished,
[10:03] Him
    but also equally being afraid of it...
[10:06] Him
    It might even surpass when
    I was trying to get into high school.
[10:16] Mika
    Okay, I'm opening it.
[10:18] Mika
    And, go!
[10:22] Hime
    It's done!
[10:23] Tou
    I hope your dad will like it.
[10:26] hime
    Me, too!
[10:27] Mik
    You'll have to tell us how he reacts.
[10:29] Hime
    I will!
[10:31] Hime
    How about some ochazuke?
[10:32] Hime
    We've got some salmon.
[10:33] tok
    Yeah, that sounds great!
[10:35] tok
    I'll have some.
[10:45] tok
    Huh?
[10:51] tok
    Did you... make this bowl?
[10:54] Hime
    Y-Yes, but it's pretty awkward...
[10:57] tok
    I see. You made this for me.
[11:09] tok
    Thanks for the food.
[11:17] tok
    This is great!
[11:19] tok
    The size is just right.
[11:20] Hime
    Are you sure it's okay?
[11:22] tok
    And the whale on it is cute.
[11:24] Hime
    That's a salmon...
[11:27] tok
    Oh. Right, a salmon.
[11:30] tok
    Thank you.
[11:32] tok
    Nothing could make me happier
    than a present like this.
[11:35] Hime
    I'm glad!
[11:36] Hime
    Please clean up when you're done.
[11:38] Hime
