[00:12] Nishimura
    It's August now.

    Your cat?
[02:00] Nishimura
    Yep, Kuro.
[02:03] Nishimura
    I was hoping one of you could take
    care of him while I visit my grandma.
[02:08] Takada
    Sorry, Nishimura-san.
[02:10] Takada
    I won't be home then either.
[02:13] Takada
    I'm going to visit some
    friends from my old school.
[02:16] Nishimura
    I see...
[02:18] Takada
    What about you, Hino-kun?
[02:20] Hino
    Our place forbids pets.
[02:22] Hino
    But we did get them to allow a hamster!
[02:24] Nishimura
    O-Oh...
[02:35] Nishimura
    C'mon!
[02:36] Nishimura
    Bear with it, Kuro.
[02:39] Nishimura
    We'll be there soon, okay?
[02:42] Akane's Father
    Make sure you take good care
    of him while we're there.
[02:46] Akane's Father
    Don't make any trouble for Grandma now.
[02:48] Nishimura
    Yeah, I know!
[02:56] Sign
    DANGER
    NO TRESPASSING
[03:37] Grandma
    I'm so happy you came, Akane-chan.
[03:40] Nishimura
    Grandma!
[03:42] Grandma
    You must be tired from the long ride.
[03:45] Nishimura
    Nope, not at all!
[03:46] Nishimura
    I missed you, Grandma!
[03:49] Grandma
    Well, aren't you a bundle of energy?
[03:52] Akane's Father
    It's been a while.
[03:54] Grandma
    I'm sure it was a long ride for you, too.
[03:57] Grandma
    Go and get some rest.
[03:58] Akane's Father
    Thank you very much.
[04:01] Grandma
    Akane-chan, you look
    adorable in those clothes.
[04:05] Nishimura
    Thanks, Grandma.
[04:07] Grandma
    How's school treating you?
[04:11] Nishimura
    Well, since I entered fifth grade,
     I made a new friend.
[04:16] Nishimura
    I got this dress from his older sister.
[04:20] Grandma
    Oh, isn't that lovely?
[04:23] Nishimura
    Y-Yeah!
[04:26] Nishimura
    I wonder what Takada-kun's up to right now.
[04:38] Takada
    Huh? I don't see any...
[04:41] Takada
    I thought they were supposed
    to be around here.
[04:44] Girl
    Hey! Don't splash me!
[04:46] Yukiko
    Taiyou! Did you come all this
    way to play video games?
[04:50] Takada
    There's a monster you can
    only get around these parts!
[04:57] Boy
    I found it, Taiyou!
[04:58] Takada
    Really?! Where, where?!
[05:01] Boy
    Look, right here!
[05:02] Boy
    C'mon, hurry!
[05:03] Takada
    Hey, you're right!
[05:04] Yukiko
    Be careful so you don't trip!
[05:06] Yukiko
    Better not drop it!
[05:08] Takada
    I know!
[05:14] Takada
    I did it!
[05:16] Takada
    That super-rare monster is mine!
[05:19] Takada
    Heh!
[05:23] Takada
    I wonder what Nishimura-san's
    doing about now.

[05:35] Akane's Father
    Hmm...
[05:37] Akane's Father
    This goes here... like so...
[05:42] Akane's Father
    D-Did I do that right?
[05:45] Akane's Father
    Phew! It's finished, Akane.
[05:49] Nishimura
    Thanks, Dad.
[05:52] Nishimura
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Kuro.
[05:55] Nishimura
    Looks like your room is ready.
[06:42] Nishimura
    Grandma, can I help with anything?
[06:45] Grandma
    No, no, it's fine.
[06:47] Grandma
    Just make yourself at home.
[06:49] Grandma
    Look at this.
[06:50] Grandma
    I picked it from the fields
    for you this morning.
[06:54] Grandma
    We've also got some corn on the cob.
[06:56] Nishimura
    Okay!
[06:59] Akane's Father
    What? Yayoi-chan won't be coming today?
[07:03] Akane's Father
    Well, shucks.
[07:06] Akane's Father
    They're cousins close in age, so I was
    hoping she'd be here to play with Akane.
[07:10] Man
    Sorry about that.
[07:13] Man
    My girl's already in middle school now.
[07:16] Man
    She said she wants to play with her school
    friends instead of visiting her grandma.
[07:23] Nishimura
    I see... School friends, huh?
[07:27] Nishimura
    I guess I've been hanging out with
    Takada-kun all summer vacation, too.

[07:36] Nishimura
    Takada-kun...
    I wonder what he's up to right now.

[07:43] Nishimura
    What am I doing?!
[07:44] Nishimura
    I came here to see Grandma,
    and I keep thinking about Takada-kun!

[07:50] Grandma
    Akane-chan.
[07:51] Grandma
    What's the matter? Feeling bored?
[07:55] Nishimura
    N-Not at all, Grandma!
[07:57] Nishimura
    You know I love you, Grandma!
[08:00] Grandma
    Oh, don't you fret.
[08:02] Grandma
    Come on out here.
[08:03] Nishimura
    Kuro-chan, you wait here.
[08:06] Nishimura
    Wow! These watermelon slices are huge!
[08:11] Nishimura
    Grandma, this is really tasty!
[08:14] Grandma
    I'm glad to hear it.
[08:16] Grandma
    The tomatoes and cucumbers
    have just ripened, as well,
[08:20] Grandma
    so let's go pick them together later.
[08:22] Nishimura
    Yeah!
[08:26] Grandma
    You know, Akane-chan...
[08:30] Grandma
    Even if you love your grandma,
[08:33] Grandma
    there's nothing wrong with being
    bored at her house.
[08:39] Grandma
    I bet you've made some
    good friends back home.
[08:45] Nishimura
    I get it.
[08:46] Nishimura
    Before now, I didn't have friends
    to play with during summer vacation.

[08:52] Nishimura
    That's right.
[08:53] Nishimura
    I've made a friend who's
    very important to me.
[08:56] Grandma
    The boy you mentioned earlier?
[08:58] Nishimura
    Yeah.
[08:59] Nishimura
    The next time you come visit us,
    I'll introduce you to him!
[09:03] Grandma
    Oh, I can hardly wait!
[09:07] Grandma
    I see, so he was there when you
    found that kitten, as well.
[09:13] Nishimura
    Yeah, he told me I was its spitting image.
[09:16] Grandma
    I reckon, seeing as you're
    both downright adorable.
[09:20] Grandma
    By the way, what's the kitty's name?
[09:24] Nishimura
    He's Kuro.
[09:25] Nishimura
    Kuro! Say hi to Grandma!
[09:30] Nishimura
    Huh?
[09:32] Nishimura
    Kuro? Kuro!
[09:34] Nishimura
    Kuro's gone.
[09:36] Grandma
    Dearie me.
[09:38] Grandma
    Looks like he's managed
    to break out of his cage.
[09:41] Grandma
    I wonder if he's made his way outdoors...
[09:44] Nishimura
    N-No way!
[09:46] Nishimura
    Kuro! Kuro!
[09:49] Nishimura
    What do I do?
[09:50] Nishimura
    What if he goes missing?
[09:52] Nishimura
    I knew I shouldn't have brought him along...
[09:56] Grandma
    Everything will be all right.
[09:58] Grandma
    Take a deep breath, Akane-chan.
[10:00] Nishimura
    I should have boarded him at a pet hotel...
[10:05] Nishimura
    It's all my fault for bringing him!
[10:08] Grandma
    Don't go saying that now.
[10:10] Grandma
    Let's take a look for him.
[10:12] Nishimura
    Kuro!
[10:13] Nishimura
    Kuro-chan!
[10:15] Nishimura
    Where'd you go?!
[10:17] Grandma
    Kuro! Why, Kuro!
[10:17] Nishimura
    Kuro! Come out! Kuro!
[10:21] Akane's Father
    What happened?
[10:22] Grandma
    The kitten's gone and run off.
[10:25] Grandma
    Maybe the cage wasn't
    assembled tightly enough.
[10:28] Akane's Father
    What?
[10:30] Akane's Father
    What?!
[10:33] Nishimura
    Kuro! Kuro!
[10:38] Grandma
    It'll be all right, Akane-chan.
[10:41] Grandma
    I'm sure he'll show up when he gets hungry.
[10:44] Nishimura
    B-But...
[10:45] Takada
    Excuse me!
[10:49] Takada
    I found this guy wandering around outside.
[10:55] Nishimura
    Kuro! Thank goodness!
[10:58] Nishimura
    Wait... Huh?!
[11:02] Nishimura
    T-T-Takada-kun?!
[11:05] Takada
    Ah, Nishimura-san.
[11:07] Nishimura
    H-H-How?!
[11:09] Takada
    Well, you see, I was playing nearby
    when I heard someone yell out, "Kuro!"
[11:14] Takada
    Then I found a cat by the road
    that looked like your kitty Kuro!
[11:23] Takada
    Wh-Wh-What are you doing here,
    Nishimura-san?!
[11:27] Nishimura
    So slow...
[11:28] Grandma
    Why, if it isn't Taiyou! It's been a while.
[11:32] Nishimura
    Huh?
[11:33] Takada
    Hey, Grandma! How've you been?
[11:35] Nishimura
    Grandma, you know him?
[11:38] Grandma
    Taiyou's the little rascal who used to live
    in the neighborhood until this past spring.
[11:45] Nishimura
    No way... What a coincidence!
[11:49] (Flashback) Takada
    Sorry, Nishimura-san.
[11:52] (Flashback) Takada
    I won't be home then either.
[11:54] (Flashback) Takada
    I'm going to visit some
    friends from my old school.
[11:58] Takada
    I'd never have guessed you
    were Nishimura-san's grandma!
[12:00] Nishimura
    His old school is here...
[12:02] Nishimura
    This is where he used
    to live before he moved...

[12:06] Nishimura
    At this point, it's less coincidence
     and more like...

[12:10] Takada
    What a coincidence! It's like it was fate!
[12:15] Nishimura
    I was too embarrassed to say it,
     but he didn't even think twice...

[12:23] Akane's Father
    Akane, is Kuro...
[12:27] Akane's Father
    Oh! Huh?
[12:33] Akane's Father
    Mom... Who's the boy?
[12:36] Grandma
    It seems Akane has chanced upon
    a school friend out here.
[12:42] Akane's Father
    I see. A friend...
[12:45] Akane's Father
    Are you sure they're just friends?
[12:47] Takada
    I'm sure I found Kuro thanks
    to your powers, Nishimura-san!
[12:52] Nishimura
    I-I don't think that's the case...
[12:55] Nishimura
    But I'm so relieved.
[12:57] Takada
    Kuro! You can't go making
    trouble for Nishimura-san!
[13:03] Grandma
    Taiyou, since you're here, why don't you
    show Akane-chan around the neighborhood?
[13:09] Nishimura
    Huh?
[13:10] Akane's Father
    Huh?!
[13:11] Takada
    Yeah, sure thing!
[13:12] Takada
    Nishimura-san, where do you want to go?
[13:14] Takada
    Rare monster locations?
[13:17] Takada
    Or the Cat Museum?
[13:19] Takada
    I know a secret base, too!
[13:21] Nishimura
    Um...
[13:22] Grandma
    Akane-chan.
[13:24] Grandma
    You go and have fun.
[13:27] Grandma
    Make sure you're back by dinnertime.
[13:29] Nishimura
    Okay.
[13:30] Nishimura
    Thanks, Grandma.
[13:35] Group
    We're off!
[13:40] Takada
    This way, Nishimura-san!
[13:42] Nishimura
    Okay!
[13:43] Takada
    There's a really awesome mountain!
[13:46] Takada
    You get there by going
    through a secret tunnel!
[13:49] Takada
    Wanna see?
[13:50] Nishimura
    Yep, show me!
[13:54] Sign
    My Clueless First Friend
[14:01] Akane's Father
    Wow, he took you all the way
    out there yesterday?
[14:06] Akane's Father
    I see. So he's the boy who
    called you that one time.
[14:11] Nishimura
    Yeah.
[14:12] Akane's Father
    It all makes sense now...
[14:14] Nishimura
    Oh, also, his older sister is Yukiko-san,
    the one who gave me all those cute clothes.
[14:21] Takada
    Good morning, Nishimura-san!
[14:29] Nishimura
    Good morning, Takada-kun.
[14:32] Takada
    Good morning to you!
[14:33] Akane's Father
    M-Morning...
[14:35] Takada
    Did you see that TV show last night?
[14:37] Takada
    The one where they saw ghosts?
[14:39] Nishimura
    Yeah, I saw it.
[14:41] Nishimura
    It sure was scary.
[14:42] Takada
    It was super scary!
[14:44] Takada
    Oh, but I bet you could summon
    something even scarier!
[14:48] Nishimura
    Th-That's not true.
[14:50] Takada
    You totally could with your
    Grim Reaper powers!
[14:52] Nishimura
    No way.
[14:54] Grandma
    Oh, my.
[14:56] Grandma
    I thought you were with Akane-chan today.
[14:59] Akane's Father
    Ah...
[15:01] Akane's Father
    We ran into Taiyou-kun
    from yesterday on the way.
[15:04] Akane's Father
    So I went on ahead by myself
    to pay my respects and came back.
[15:09] Grandma
    That boy, huh?
[15:12] Akane's Father
    Wait...
[15:14] Grandma
    I wonder where he's dragged her
    off to about now.
[15:18] Akane's Father
    Don't say such ominous things!
[15:22] Grandma
    I'm kidding around.
[15:23] Grandma
    They made fast friends
    back home, didn't they?
[15:27] Grandma
    It'd be nice if they can make
    even more memories here.
[15:30] Akane's Father
    I-I suppose...
[15:32] Grandma
    Just the two of them, y'know?
[15:38] Akane's Father
    M-M-Mom!
[15:46] Nishimura
    I'm sorry for making you
    come with me, Takada-kun.
[15:49] Takada
    It's cool!
[15:50] Takada
    I dragged you all over the place yesterday,
[15:53] Takada
    and besides, anywhere's fun
    when you're there, Nishimura-san!
[15:57] Takada
    I had no idea you've always been
    coming here to pay your respects, though.
[16:03] Nishimura
    Yep, every year without fail.
[16:05] Takada
    Every year...
[16:07] Takada
    I see.
[16:08] Takada
    So the secret to your Grim Reaper
    powers is somewhere around here...
[16:11] Nishimura
    N-No, I don't think so.
[16:16] Takada
    Right around here, you can see
    fireflies flying about at night.
[16:20] Takada
    They look like souls!
[16:22] Nishimura
    Huh.
[16:25] Takada
    You're incredible, Nishimura-san.
[16:28] Takada
    I couldn't even tell you how
    to get to our family grave.
[16:34] Nishimura
    That's pretty normal, I'm sure.
[16:37] Nishimura
    This way.
[16:43] Sign
    Nishimura Family Grave
[16:49] Nishimura
    There, that does it.
[16:53] Takada
    I-It's on fire!
[16:56] Nishimura
    Uh, wait!
[17:00] Takada
    Huh? What's the big idea?
[17:02] Nishimura
    You're not supposed
    to blow out burning incense.
[17:06] Nishimura
    So you fan it with your hand like this.
[17:10] Takada
    Is that so?
[17:12] Takada
    But why?
[17:13] Nishimura
    I-I don't really know either...
[17:17] Takada
    Huh.
[17:34] Nishimura
    That's everything.
[17:36] Nishimura
    You're amazing, Nishimura-san.
[17:39] Takada
    You really know how to do the whole routine.
[17:42] Nishimura
    You say that,
    but I'm not exactly doing it properly.
[17:48] Nishimura
    Like here, I'm offering jasmine
    tea instead of water.
[17:52] Nishimura
    Because I hear Mom loved it.
[17:55] Takada
    What?
[17:56] Nishimura
    Ah, sorry, I forgot to tell you.
[18:00] Nishimura
    I've never told anyone in our class.
[18:03] Nishimura
    I lost my mom.
    This is her grave I'm visiting.
[18:13] Takada
    Y-You mean...
[18:20] Nishimura
    Ah, it's fine, it's fine.
[18:22] Nishimura
    It happened before I can remember.
[18:26] Nishimura
    It doesn't make me sad at all anymore.
[18:29] Takada
    I see...
[18:43] Takada
    What was your mom like?
[18:47] Nishimura
    Well, she passed away right after I was born.
[18:52] Nishimura
    How do I put it...?
[18:55] Nishimura
    It's like I ended up replacing her.
[18:58] Nishimura
    Both my dad and grandma
    tell me stories about her,
[19:06] Nishimura
    so I know a lot about her.
[19:11] Nishimura
    Even though I replaced her,
    I still feel a connection with her.
[19:17] Nishimura
    So... thank you, Takada-kun.
[19:21] Nishimura
    Because of you, I was able to introduce
    my mom to a friend for the first time.
[19:29] Nishimura
    Thank you.
[19:33] Takada
    A friend...
[19:36] (Flashback) Nishimura
    I lost my mom.
[19:41] (Flashback) Nishimura
    It's like I ended up replacing her.
[19:45] (Flashback) Takada
    Woo-hoo!
[19:46] (Flashback) Takada
    Now I'm pals with the Grim Reaper!
[19:50] (Flashback) Takada
    Nishimura-san, you're awesome!
[19:52] (Flashback) Takada
    You're the Grim Reaper, after all!
[20:00] Takada
    The Grim Reaper...
[20:10] Takada
    Hey... does this mean...
[20:14] Nishimura
    What?
[20:15] Takada
    All this time, have I been
    saying awful things to you?
[20:22] Nishimura
    Huh?
[20:24] Nishimura
    Wh-What are you talking about, Takada-kun?
[20:30] Takada
    I'm...
[20:32] Takada
    I'm... supposed to be your friend...
[20:44] Nishimura
    That was the first time
    I'd seen Takada-kun cry.

[20:49] Nishimura
    Takada-kun!
[20:50] Nishimura
    Calm down, Takada-kun!
[20:52] Nishimura
    Y-You haven't said anything awful to me.
[20:57] Nishimura
    I've never felt that way. Not once.
[21:04] Nishimura
    Even that wasn't enough
    to stop Takada-kun's tears,

[21:07] Nishimura
    so we walked back holding hands.
[21:34] Nishimura
    We took the slightly longer way home.
[21:41] Nishimura
    And we followed
    the light of the streetlamps

[21:44] Nishimura
    so we wouldn't get lost.
[21:46] Nishimura
    So we wouldn't lose sight of our way.
[21:52] Nishimura
    I could feel my heart beating
    wildly the entire time.

[21:58] Nishimura
    I wonder if Takada-kun felt the same way...
[23:35] Sign
    Next time...
[23:35] Sign
    Call Me the Grim Reaper
