**[01:59] Group**
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...
