[00:07] ---
    What? You still haven't found
    a new place yet?
[00:10] ---
    No. I'm going to another viewing
    this weekend.
[00:13] ---
    Is that right?
    I hope you find a place soon.
[00:17] ---
    Yeah.
[00:17] ---
    Momose.
[00:20] ---
    Would you mind going shopping
    with me on our way home?
[00:22] ---
    Yes, if you're okay with my company.
[00:25] ---
    What are you shopping for?
[00:26] ---
    A Christmas present for Hakutou.
[00:29] ---
    Oh, right.
    It's that time of year already, huh?
[00:32] ---
    I know nobody's going to give me
    a Christmas present, anyway.
[00:38] ---
    I haven't gotten one
    for the past few years, either.
[00:40] ---
    Me, neither.
[00:42] ---
    Me, neither.
[00:43] ---
    My comrades!
[00:45] ---
    Hey, then why don't we exchange gifts
    among the four of us?
[00:49] ---
    A slightly early Christmas party!
[00:51] ---
    I'm in! I'm so in!
[00:53] ---
    Then we can do it at my place,
    if you want.
[00:55] ---
    - What? You sure?
    - Yes.
[00:57] ---
    Yay! We're gonna party at Manager's place!
    What should I wear?
[01:01] ---
    I'll be going as a reindeer.
[01:03] ---
    Ever since my abusive boss
    damaged my spirit and my health,
[01:08] ---
    this'll be my first Christmas!
[02:42] ---
    EPISODE 12
    BE BACK SOON...!?
[02:42] ---
    Momose, thanks for going
    shopping with me.
[02:46] ---
    It would've been tough, buying a huge gift
    like this on my own. I owe you one.
[02:50] ---
    No problem. I got to buy something
    for Hakutou too, so it was fun.
[02:57] ---
    When was the last time
    I bought a Christmas gift?
[03:03] ---
    Wait.
[03:05] ---
    Actually, have I even celebrated Christmas
    in the last few years?
[03:11] ---
    Let's see... Let's see...
[03:15] ---
    All I can remember is being harassed
    by my drunk ex-boss at the parties.
[03:21] ---
    How long did you believe
    in Santa Claus, Momose?
[03:25] ---
    I'm sorry!
[03:29] ---
    Momose, are you telling me...
[03:32] ---
    He knows that I'm depressed now because
    I remembered my ex-boss!
[03:37] ---
    He's gonna be exasperated with me!
[03:39] ---
    ...that you still believe in Santa Claus?
[03:39] ---
    SORRY
[03:44] ---
    There is! A Santa Claus...
[03:46] ---
    Uh, thank you very much!
[03:49] ---
    What are you going to ask Santa
    to bring you? As a gift?
[03:52] ---
    Huh? Um... Peach tea?
[03:55] ---
    Sounds good.
    You like that tea, don't you?
[04:01] ---
    There's no such thing as Santa Claus.
[04:03] ---
    Only little babies believe in Santa Claus!
[04:07] ---
    Listen to me! Good little boys and girls
    put up stockings, and go to bed early!
[04:14] ---
    I'm all grown up now!
[04:18] ---
    This is good, right here.
[04:20] ---
    I'll hide it until Christmas Eve.
[04:22] ---
    Bet you can't wait to give it to Hakutou!
[04:31] ---
    I can't wait for the Christmas party!
[04:34] ---
    What should we do about the food?
[04:37] ---
    I'll make it.
[04:39] ---
    I'll help!
[04:41] ---
    I'll make something, too.
[04:43] ---
    HONEY-FLAVORED
[04:43] ---
    I'm going to smother honey
    all over a cake!
[04:45] ---
    Wow, please don't.
[04:51] ---
    Hey. The yellow bird...
[04:53] ---
    He's here today, too.
[04:54] ---
    Yeah.
[04:58] ---
    I hope you find a good place
    during today's viewing.
[05:03] ---
    Yes. Me, too.
[05:10] ---
    The place I'm showing you today
    is a little bit far from the city.
[05:16] ---
    But it's spacious! New!
    And quiet! Yes!
[05:20] ---
    It says it's ten minutes
    from the station. Seems convenient.
[05:23] ---
    Oh. That's ten minutes by car.
[05:25] ---
    And by the way, the one facility
    within ten minutes' walking distance is...
[05:30] ---
    Kumatte!
[05:31] ---
    Kumatteland!
[05:33] ---
    So close!
[05:33] ---
    KUMATTELAND
[05:34] ---
    It's far from your office, but you'll get there
    in no time on the special express.
[05:38] ---
    The air's so clean.
[05:40] ---
    And Kumattechan comes to the nearby
    convenience store on his breaks!
[05:44] ---
    I kinda want to see that.
[05:48] ---
    Also, about the facilities here...
[05:51] ---
    Yes?
[05:54] ---
    The balcony's over here,
    and your closet's over there.
[06:01] ---
    Thank you for taking the time
    to come all the way out here.
[06:04] ---
    But I really do recommend that property,
    so if you like it, please call me sooner than later!
[06:23] ---
    I have a feeling we forgot something.
[06:25] ---
    Sauce, sweet sake, check.
[06:28] ---
    Vinegar, check.
[06:30] ---
    Hey! Wine vinegar!
[06:32] ---
    What? Wise visitor?
[06:37] ---
    Oh, you said wine vinegar.
[06:40] ---
    That was way off base.
[06:44] ---
    Manager, thank you for coming
    to the viewing with me today.
[06:50] ---
    Sure. I had a good time, too.
[06:53] ---
    Did you like that apartment, Momose?
[06:57] ---
    Oh, uh...
[07:00] ---
    I've been dragging him all over the place.
    I really need to make up my mind.
[07:05] ---
    Y-Yes! I liked it a lot.
[07:10] ---
    I see.
[07:14] ---
    KUMATTELAND
[07:15] ---
    If I start living there...
[07:17] ---
    No more stopping by the supermarket
    on our way home.
[07:21] ---
    No more eating
    Manager's delicious cooking.
[07:24] ---
    No more seeing Hakutou's face every day.
[07:27] ---
    No more heading
    to the convenience store at night.
[07:30] ---
    No more bird-watching
    in the morning together.
[07:34] ---
    That'll be the end of it all.
[07:38] ---
    Suddenly, it's really starting to sink in.
[07:41] ---
    We won't even see each other on the train
    anymore, since we'll be taking different lines.
[07:51] ---
    No more commuting together, even...
[07:56] ---
    M-Manager, I...
[07:59] ---
    You know what...
[08:01] ---
    You know what, I'm gonna
    go get some wine vinegar!
[08:09] ---
    I'm home.
[08:23] ---
    DEAR MOMOSE
[08:23] ---
    A letter?
[08:28] ---
    DEAR MOMOSE,
    JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE SAVED UP ENOUGH
    MONEY TO MOVE, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU
    HAVE TO BE IN A RUSH TO FIND A NEW PLACE.
[08:28] ---
    YOU CAN STAY HERE
    AS LONG AS YOU LIKE
[08:28] ---
    RENT CAN BE PAID
    IN MILLET DUMPLINGS
[08:34] ---
    Not only is this cute, it's so kind!
[08:37] ---
    SHIROSAKI
    MOMOSE
[08:41] ---
    Welcome!
[08:43] ---
    It's Santa Kumattechan
    and Chief Reindeer.
[08:46] ---
    I'm Kinjo the Tree! Merry Christmas!
[08:50] ---
    Welcome. Merry Christmas!
[08:52] ---
    Manager has his bangs down,
    and he's wearing casual clothes!
[08:56] ---
    Th-That's how he looks everyday.
[08:59] ---
    You've one-upped me, Momose!
[09:02] ---
    Shirosaki, I bought some champagne
    and a Santa hat for you.
[09:05] ---
    Thank you very much!
[09:07] ---
    Hey, that's right!
[09:08] ---
    Here's a Santa hat for you, too.
[09:12] ---
    Yay!
[09:13] ---
    And this is for Hakutou.
[09:18] ---
    Hey.
[09:19] ---
    There you are! Hakutou, you're adorable!
[09:23] ---
    Hey, look at all the people here.
[09:26] ---
    So fluffy!
[09:27] ---
    - Long time no see, Hakutou!
    - Please look at me!
[09:31] ---
    KICK KICK KICK
[09:34] ---
    Now, then...
[09:35] ---
    Cheers!
[09:38] ---
    You cooked all this, Manager?
[09:40] ---
    Well, I had help from Momose.
[09:43] ---
    No, no, I didn't do anything.
[09:46] ---
    Hot pot's the main dish?
[09:48] ---
    Yes.
[09:51] ---
    Kiritanpo hot pot, Christmas version.
[09:56] ---
    I'm just going to dig in now!
[09:58] ---
    I think I'll join you.
[09:59] ---
    Then me, too!
[10:05] ---
    Delicious!
[10:08] ---
    Gotta say,
    I'm beyond jealous of you, Momose!
[10:11] ---
    The flavor...
[10:12] ---
    I know nobody wants to come
    to a party at my house.
[10:16] ---
    I'd love to go to a party
    at your place next time, Chief.
[10:19] ---
    Shirosaki! Love you!
[10:21] ---
    Chief, no jumping the gun!
[10:25] ---
    Okay guys, what we've
    all been waiting for...
[10:28] ---
    Let's exchange gifts!
[10:33] ---
    All right.
[10:36] ---
    Three, two...
[10:39] ---
    Let's start with the gift
    that Chief picked!
[10:42] ---
    Oh, that one's from me.
[10:44] ---
    It's so orthodox,
    I'm not sure if you'll like it.
[10:47] ---
    No worries! Chief's already crying,
    and he hasn't even opened it yet.
[10:52] ---
    Well, here I am, divorced and lonely,
[10:56] ---
    and I've been invited to this party,
    and I'm even getting a gift.
[10:59] ---
    I'm just so choked up right now.
[11:04] ---
    Not only that, but it's a handkerchief!
[11:06] ---
    It's like you predicted that I'd be in tears!
[11:09] ---
    Amazing work, Momose.
[11:13] ---
    Next! Open your gift, Manager!
[11:16] ---
    This present happens to be from...
[11:19] ---
    Me!
[11:20] ---
    Clothes?
[11:23] ---
    FLUFFY
[11:24] ---
    Fluffy, casual clothes!
[11:28] ---
    It's fluffy and comfortable.
[11:31] ---
    I feel like I've turned into Hakutou.
    Thanks, Kinjo.
[11:34] ---
    My owner's grown some fur, too!
[11:37] ---
    Next! Open your gift, Momose!
[11:40] ---
    Who's this present from?
[11:42] ---
    Me. It's a hand-knit scarf.
[11:45] ---
    Wow! It looks like something
    you see in the shops!
[11:47] ---
    So jeal...
[11:52] ---
    I made it way too long.
[11:53] ---
    That's crazy long!
[11:55] ---
    I'll fix it by Christmas.
[11:57] ---
    Why not wear it together on your commute?
[12:00] ---
    Thank you so much!
    I'll always treasure it!
[12:04] ---
    Last but not least, I'm opening mine.
[12:10] ---
    Could it be Kumattechan merch?
[12:17] ---
    An expensive business card holder?
[12:19] ---
    Yes.
[12:19] ---
    I'm actually thrilled about this!
[12:21] ---
    Are you sure I can have it?
[12:23] ---
    Yes.
[12:24] ---
    Yay! Thanks!
[12:26] ---
    Since it was from you, Chief, I thought it
    would be Kumattechan merch or something weird.
[12:30] ---
    There's one more gift inside.
[12:36] ---
    You're right. A giant ribbon?
[12:45] ---
    Your present is yours truly!
[12:48] ---
    Wow. Where should I hang you?
[12:51] ---
    Who knew that would be the punch line?
[13:00] ---
    - Single bells...
    - I'll clean up.
[13:08] ---
    By the way, Momose, did you go
    to that viewing yesterday?
[13:12] ---
    How was it?
[13:13] ---
    Yeah, it was a really nice place,
    but I haven't contacted them yet.
[13:17] ---
    What? You'd better hurry,
    or someone else might take it.
[13:20] ---
    You're right.
[13:27] ---
    Hey, but I get it.
[13:29] ---
    I can tell that you're having a blast
    living with Manager and Hakutou.
[13:33] ---
    Moving out would be sad, huh?
[13:38] ---
    Hey! We'll miss the last train!
[13:42] ---
    Chief! Let's head home!
[13:45] ---
    No, we're all gonna live here together.
[13:49] ---
    What? We can just get together
    again another time!
[13:52] ---
    Right, Momose?
[13:54] ---
    Yeah!
[13:55] ---
    All right!
[13:56] ---
    Chief! Come on, let's go!
[14:12] ---
    He's right. Even if I move
    somewhere far away,
[14:16] ---
    we can always get together
    like we did tonight.
[14:19] ---
    And most of all...
[14:26] ---
    Just because it would make me sad,
[14:28] ---
    that doesn't give me the right to impose
    on Manager's kindness forever.
[14:32] ---
    After all, that day at the aquarium,
    I made up my mind to become strong.
[14:38] ---
    I'm going to move forward!
[14:41] ---
    KICHIJOJI REALTY
[14:49] ---
    The yellow bird...
[14:55] ---
    KICHIJOJI REALTY
[14:59] ---
    Yes. I can move in right away.
[15:04] ---
    I'll go and sign the contract tomorrow.
[15:05] ---
    Right. Right. Thank you very much.
[15:09] ---
    Please go ahead
    and make the arrangements.
[15:12] ---
    Yes! Thank you for all your help!
[15:23] ---
    Manager and Hakutou.
    Good morning!
[15:27] ---
    Morning.
[15:33] ---
    You've decided on a place?
[15:35] ---
    Uh, yes.
[15:37] ---
    I'm sorry that I made the decision
    without consulting you.
[15:41] ---
    I-Is that all right with you?
[15:44] ---
    Sure. If it's somewhere you'll be happy
    to live, it'll make me happy, too.
[15:49] ---
    Manager.
[15:53] ---
    It's empty.
[15:58] ---
    Thank you so much
    for your kind words.
[16:02] ---
    So you're signing the contract tomorrow?
[16:05] ---
    Yes. I'm thinking of going after work.
[16:08] ---
    I see. You be careful, okay?
[16:13] ---
    After that, time seemed to go by so fast.
[16:15] ---
    KICHIJOJI REALTY
[16:18] ---
    Congratulations on closing the deal!
[16:21] ---
    Moving on Christmas Day, how lovely!
[16:38] ---
    And then, before I knew it,
    it was the day before I'd be moving out.
[16:46] ---
    Can I pack this in the moving box?
[16:48] ---
    That belongs to you, Manager.
[16:53] ---
    Hey, Hakutou.
[16:55] ---
    Wait, why is he holding my sock so tight?
[16:58] ---
    Huh? I thought you'd left it there so
    you could put his presents inside.
[17:05] ---
    Hey, that's right. The cat tower.
[17:09] ---
    My present's not going to fit
    inside that sock, huh?
[17:12] ---
    Let's put it together!
[17:27] ---
    And that's how we spent
    our last night living as roommates.
[17:37] ---
    Are you sure you don't need help
    at your new place?
[17:40] ---
    Oh, I'm sure.
    I don't have a lot of stuff.
[17:46] ---
    Hakutou. Thank you for being my buddy!
[17:50] ---
    I love you! And while I'm at it,
    I love my owner, too!
[17:53] ---
    Hey, I love you, too.
[17:59] ---
    All right. I really appreciate
    everything that you did for me.
[18:03] ---
    I had so much fun every...
[18:15] ---
    Here. Peach tea.
    Santa asked me to give it to you.
[18:20] ---
    Manager.
[18:23] ---
    Thank you so much
    for letting me live here!
[18:27] ---
    I-I'll be going now!
[18:31] ---
    Oh, hey. Would it be all right
    if I left saying "Be back soon"?
[18:36] ---
    That way, it won't be quite as sad.
[18:39] ---
    Hey, what am I saying?
    Calm down!
[18:43] ---
    Then, "See you soon"
    is what I should say, right?
[18:47] ---
    I'm making him worry about me!
[18:49] ---
    How childish is that? So embarrassing.
[18:51] ---
    All right, then, I'll...
[18:55] ---
    Be back soon...!?
[18:59] ---
    What?
[18:59] ---
    GRAB
[19:02] ---
    M-Manager? Are you feeling sick?
[19:10] ---
    Oh, is there something on my leg, then?
[19:19] ---
    Could this mean...
[19:21] ---
    A-Are you sad?
[19:23] ---
    No, of course you're not, right?
    I'm sorry! So sorry!
[19:23] ---
    PANIC
    PANIC
[19:28] ---
    I want to support your decision
    now that you're moving forward.
[19:34] ---
    That's why I made up my mind
    not to do anything to hold you back, Momose.
[19:40] ---
    And yet, at the very end...
[19:44] ---
    Here I am, totally
    holding you back. Physically.
[19:51] ---
    Still, I mean it when I say
    that I want to support your decision.
[19:56] ---
    Manager...
[20:02] ---
    Sorry I did such a childish thing.
[20:04] ---
    N-No, no, you don't need
    to apologize at all.
[20:08] ---
    Can I start over and see you off again?
[20:10] ---
    What? Uh, yes!
[20:14] ---
    Momose.
[20:15] ---
    Yes!
[20:19] ---
    No matter where you are, Momose...
[20:23] ---
    I'll always be watching over you.
[20:28] ---
    See you soon.
[20:35] ---
    Be back soon.
[20:38] ---
    If you cry so hard, you won't
    be able to get on the train.
[20:43] ---
    Train? What was that?
[20:46] ---
    A big vehicle.
[20:49] ---
    Uh, that's not what I meant.
    I'm not taking the train.
[20:55] ---
    Then how are you getting there? By bus?
[20:57] ---
    No, on foot.
[20:59] ---
    If you walk to that apartment...
[21:00] ---
    Kumatte!
[21:03] ---
    ...it'll take at least six hours.
[21:07] ---
    Manager, I thought you'd overheard
    my phone call on the balcony?
[21:11] ---
    Huh? Just the part where you said,
    "I'll go sign the contract tomorrow."
[21:15] ---
    Oh, I see!
[21:18] ---
    The thing is, Manager...
[21:21] ---
    It's true that I'd made up mind that day
    to take the place near Kumatteland.
[21:26] ---
    But just then, that yellow bird showed up,
    and as I was watching it...
[21:32] ---
    I saw someone moving out
    of the apartment in the next building.
[21:38] ---
    Hello? This is Kichi...
[21:39] ---
    The apartment next to where I'm living now!
    Is there a listing for it?
[21:42] ---
    What?
[21:44] ---
    Yes, there is! It just came up!
[21:47] ---
    And the rent?
[21:47] ---
    Within your budget!
[21:58] ---
    And so you see,
