**[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,
**[22:00] ---**
we're gonna be neighbors!
**[22:03] ---**
Manager!
**[22:10] ---**
*Give me back my tears!*
**[22:12] ---**
Then let's be good neighbors.
**[22:14] ---**
All right!
**[22:31] ---**
STORE TAG
**[23:01] ---**
STOMACH A
FOR STOMACH PAIN
