**[00:05] Hikari**
A stem!
**[00:25] Hikari**
Tomato!
**[00:34] Masaki**
Hikari?
**[00:36] Hikari**
He left.
**[00:37] Masaki**
Did you remember to say hello?
**[00:40] Masaki**
If you just shout at someone
like that, you'll scare them.
**[00:43] Masaki**
And... tomato?
**[00:47] Hikari**
Hi-kun gotta say hello!
**[00:50] Masaki**
Wait! Not by yourself!
***SIGN*** Tadaima, Okaeri
**[02:24] Hikari**
Whea coo he be?
**[02:26] Masaki**
Yes, where could he be?
**[02:28] Masaki**
*That kid...*
**[02:31] Masaki**
*I haven't seen him around before.*
**[02:33] Masaki**
*He looked about Hikari's age.*
**[02:35] Masaki**
*Did he just move here?*
**[02:38] Mochizuki**
Michi!
**[02:39] Mochizuki**
Don't run off like that. You scared me!
**[02:44] Mochizuki**
You gotta stay where Daddy can see you.
**[02:47] Hikari**
Found you! Tomato kid!
**[02:50] Mochizuki**
"Tomato"?
**[02:51] Masaki**
Hello.
**[02:52] Masaki**
Sorry to intrude.
**[02:54] Mochizuki**
That's fine.
**[02:56] Mochizuki**
Hello.
**[02:57] Hikari**
Hello!
**[02:59] Mochizuki**
Oh, hello there!
**[03:02] Hikari**
I'm Hikawi.
**[03:05] Michiru**
'lo...
**[03:06] Mochizuki**
Michi.
**[03:09] Michiro**
Hello.
**[03:11] Michiro**
Michi...ru...
**[03:13] Hikari**
Michi! Michi!
**[03:15] Mochizuki**
You said it at the same time.
**[03:18] Masaki**
*I guess he's pretty easygoing.*
**[03:20] Mochizuki**
His name's Michiru.
**[03:21] Mochizuki**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:23] Mochizuki**
Oh, and hey.
**[03:25] Mochizuki**
I'm Mochizuki. I moved in two days ago.
**[03:28] Mochizuki**
Do you think... er...
**[03:30] Mochizuki**
It'd be okay if our kids played together?
**[03:42] Mochizuki**
Hey, someone's awake.
**[03:44] Michiru**
Bebbie...
**[03:47] Mochizuki**
A tiny little baby, huh, Michi?
**[03:49] Mochizuki**
You were that size not too long ago.
**[03:53] Hikari**
Her name's Hina-chan!
**[03:55] Michiru**
Hina-chan.
**[03:56] Hikari**
Little sister!
**[03:57] Hikari**
Hi-kun's a big bwudder!
**[03:59] Mochizuki**
Oh, a little girl, huh?
**[04:02] Mochizuki**
She's adorable!
**[04:04] Hikari**
She's still liddle!
**[04:05] Hikari**
She was born, um... 'fore yesserday!
**[04:10] Masaki**
Before yesterday, huh?
**[04:12] Hikari**
You wanna play with Hina-chan?
**[04:13] Masaki**
I'll stick with Hina.
**[04:15] Masaki**
You go play with Michi-kun.
**[04:17] Hikari**
'Kay!
**[04:18] Hikari**
Let's go!
***SIGN*** Tomato Kid
**[04:28] Masaki**
*I hope they get along.*
**[04:35] Masaki**
Shall we have a seat ourselves?
**[04:37] Mochizuki**
Sure.
**[04:39] Mochizuki**
Oh, and I'm no good with the formal stuff.
**[04:42] Mochizuki**
You mind if I'm more casual in how I talk?
**[04:43] Masaki**
Oh, of course.
**[04:46] Mochizuki**
Seriously, this is such a relief.
**[04:48] Mochizuki**
We just moved to the area
so I'm still pretty clueless.
**[04:51] Mochizuki**
I'll find my way around eventually, but the
stress of moving has gotta be hard on a kid.
**[04:58] Mochizuki**
I was worried he might not make friends.
**[05:01] Masaki**
I understand.
**[05:03] Masaki**
We only moved here two years ago, ourselves.
**[05:06] Mochizuki**
Had a feeling.
**[05:07] Masaki**
You did?
**[05:08] Mochizuki**
Oh, well, it's like...
**[05:12] Mochizuki**
Well... don't take this the wrong way, but...
**[05:20] Mochizuki**
You're...
**[05:22] Mochizuki**
an omega, right?
**[05:24] Masaki**
Er...
**[05:25] Mochizuki**
Oh, I don't mean anything weird by it, I swear!
**[05:28] Mochizuki**
My whole family's the same, including Michi.
**[05:34] Mochizuki**
My late spouse was an omega, too.
**[05:38] Mochizuki**
You kind of have the same vibe.
**[05:44] Masaki**
You lost your spouse?
**[05:45] Mochizuki**
Just last month.
**[05:47] Mochizuki**
That's the reason I moved here, too.
**[05:50] Mochizuki**
It's pretty famous as a good
place to raise a family.
**[05:53] Hikari**
Ma-cha! Hina-chan!
**[06:00] Mochizuki**
I was a rotten father
who only cared about work.
**[06:03] Mochizuki**
I never really realized it
until Michi's mother died.
**[06:09] Mochizuki**
I started looking back and realized
I relied way too much on my spouse.
**[06:12] Mochizuki**
So...
**[06:16] Mochizuki**
I figured you guys must've had your share
of troubles, raising two whole kids together.
**[06:22] Mochizuki**
Sorry.
**[06:23] Mochizuki**
Listen to this jerk,
going on and on about himself.
**[06:27] Michiru**
Da?
**[06:29] Michiru**
'm hungry.
**[06:32] Mochizuki**
Oh, is it that time?
**[06:34] Mochizuki**
Guess we'd better go.
**[06:37] Mochizuki**
Thanks, Fujiyoshi-san.
**[06:38] Mochizuki**
I hope you'll come to play again sometime.
**[06:41] Masaki**
Of course!
**[06:42] Hikari**
Bye-bye!
**[06:44] Mochizuki**
Bye-bye!
**[06:44] Michiru**
Bye-bye...
**[06:46] Masaki**
*Mochizuki-san, huh?*
**[06:48] Hikari**
Bye-bye!
**[06:50] Hikari**
Ma-cha! Let's play
with Miccha again t'morrow!
**[06:53] Masaki**
Sure, that would be nice.
**[06:57] Masaki**
*I'm glad he's found a friend his own age.*
**[07:00] Masaki**
* It's my first time meeting*
* a child of my type, too.*
**[07:03] Masaki**
*I hope I can be helpful to him.*
**[07:07] Hikari**
We played with Miccha today!
**[07:09] Hiromu**
Who's that? And you left me out?
**[07:16] Hikari**
Miccha!
***SIGN*** The next day...
**[07:18] Hikari**
Huh? He don't got such a big stem today...
**[07:21] Mochizuki**
He just had bed hair yesterday.
***SIGN*** And the next...
**[07:25] Hikari**
Hina-chan!
**[07:27] Masaki**
Sorry, Michi-kun!
***SIGN*** And the day
after that...
**[07:30] Hikari**
Miccha!
**[07:31] Masaki**
They're getting along so well!
**[07:33] Mochizuki**
Well, they've been meeting up every day.
**[07:38] Mochizuki**
It's all been such a whirlwind,
I haven't had time to think about it,
**[07:43] Mochizuki**
but I've really gotta get back to work soon.
**[07:46] Masaki**
Work?
**[07:47] Mochizuki**
My boss let me take bereavement leave,
**[07:51] Mochizuki**
but I hear we've got a big job coming in,
**[07:55] Mochizuki**
so I've really gotta get back to it.
**[07:58] Hikari**
Fo' you.
**[08:00] Mochizuki**
The trouble is what to do with him.
**[08:02] Mochizuki**
I'd be nervous to leave him
with strangers all of a sudden.
**[08:06] Mochizuki**
I wish I could just stick with him forever,
**[08:09] Mochizuki**
but a man's gotta make a living.
**[08:15] Mochizuki**
Guess I sound kind of obsessed with my kid.
**[08:18] Masaki**
All parents feel that way.
**[08:20] Masaki**
My husband says the same thing every morning!
**[08:23] Mochizuki**
I know I'm being a little overprotective...
**[08:26] Mochizuki**
But after managing to have a kid at my age,
I can't help but love the little guy.
**[08:31] Masaki**
Does Michi-kun get his easygoing
nature from his mother?
**[08:36] Mochizuki**
You could tell?
**[08:39] Mochizuki**
He's quiet, kind, and easygoing
just like his mother.
**[08:44] Mochizuki**
He's a tough kid. He never cried.
**[08:48] Mochizuki**
I've been a weeping mess
since it happened, but look at him.
**[08:53] Mochizuki**
He's been the one comforting me
the whole time, just like that.
**[08:59] Mochizuki**
I'm afraid if I leave him alone all day,
it'll be one more burden for him to bear.
**[09:06] Masaki**
Well...
**[09:10] Masaki**
If you'd like...
**[09:13] Hiromu**
Huh? You wanna look after his kid?
**[09:17] Hiromu**
And this is the guy you've
been talking to lately?
**[09:20] Masaki**
Yeah. He's worried about
having to go back to work.
**[09:26] Masaki**
Until he finds a proper
daycare, what do you think
**[09:28] Masaki**
about me looking after him during the day?
**[09:30] Masaki**
Hikari really loves Michi-kun.
**[09:32] Masaki**
I think he'd be happy
for the chance to play more.
**[09:38] Hiromu**
I don't have an issue with it,
**[09:41] Hiromu**
but what did Mochizuki-san say?
**[09:44] Masaki**
He said...
**[09:47] (Flashback) Mochizuki**
Th-That's absurdly generous!
**[09:54] (Flashback) Mochizuki**
Are you sure you're okay with it?!
**[09:58] Hiromu**
I worry about him a little.
**[10:00] Hiromu**
Even if your kids get along,
he's only known you a week, right?
**[10:06] Hiromu**
Wouldn't most parents feel
safer leaving their kid
**[10:08] Hiromu**
with a decent organization
over some random neighbor?
**[10:12] Hiromu**
He must really trust you.
**[10:14] Masaki**
I think he feels safe because
Michi-kun and I are the same type.
**[10:19] Masaki**
He said his spouse was, too.
**[10:22] Hiromu**
You said his spouse had passed away?
**[10:28] Hiromu**
What's that got to do with it?
**[10:30] Masaki**
Well...
**[10:31] (Flashback) Masaki**
I'm sure you're still worried,
though, aren't you?
**[10:33] (Flashback) Masaki**
We only just met.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Mochizuki**
I know I can trust you, Fujiyoshi-san!
**[10:37] (Flashback) Mochizuki**
I have a good eye for people,
and you're so much like my spouse!
**[10:40] Mochizuki**
* I have a good eye for people,*
* and you're so much like my spouse!*
**[10:46] Masaki**
He said I... resemble his spouse.
**[11:05] Hiromu**
I see.
**[11:06] Hiromu**
I'm glad you didn't dodge
the question, but...
**[11:11] Hiromu**
You think I'll let that stand?
**[11:13] Masaki**
I guess you wouldn't...
**[11:15] Masaki**
But I don't think he meant it like that.
**[11:19] Hiromu**
You bet he didn't. I wouldn't let him.
**[11:24] Masaki**
I...
**[11:27] Masaki**
Michiru's the first child
of my type I've ever met.
**[11:33] Masaki**
I never liked myself,
or anyone else, very much.
**[11:37] Masaki**
I avoided getting involved with others.
**[11:40] Masaki**
But seeing Hikari and
Michiru-kun play together...
**[11:45] Masaki**
They make it look like the most
natural thing in the world.
**[11:50] Masaki**
It made me really happy.
**[11:52] Masaki**
I'd like it to keep on feeling natural.
**[12:00] Masaki**
I'd like Hikari and Michiru-kun
to both feel the same way.
**[12:05] Masaki**
So...
**[12:10] Hiromu**
Okay, then.
**[12:11] Masaki**
Hiro-san!
**[12:13] Hiromu**
Darn it.
**[12:14] Hiromu**
I wish you'd listen to my concerns
sometimes too, though.
**[12:18] Hiromu**
All right. Bring him over here.
**[12:20] Hiromu**
I'd love to meet this Michiru-kun
you guys love so much.
**[12:26] Hiromu**
Mochizuki-san, too.
**[12:28] Hiromu**
I want to talk to him very soon.
**[12:35] Hiromu**
Something like this
happened before, didn't it?
**[12:38] Masaki**
With Yuki-kun?
**[12:40] Masaki**
I guess Michi-kun's a bit
like him, come to think of it.
**[12:44] Masaki**
Maybe he's got a type.
**[12:45] Hiromu**
He's way too young for that.
**[12:47] Masaki**
Don't get jealous of his friends.
**[13:06] Mochizuki**
Okay, Michi. Daddy's heading to work.
**[13:09] Mochizuki**
Be a good boy and do just
what Fujiyoshi-san tells you.
**[13:20] Mochizuki**
Okay. Look after him, Fujiyoshi-san.
**[13:22] Mochizuki**
You too, Hikari.
**[13:24] Hikari**
'Kay!
**[13:25] Mochizuki**
I seriously appreciate it.
**[13:27] Mochizuki**
I was hoping to speak to your
husband while I was here, but...
**[13:30] Masaki**
He was hoping to meet you, too,
**[13:33] Masaki**
but his father wanted to speak with him...
**[13:37] (Flashback) Hiromu**
Tell him I'd like to meet him very soon.
**[13:40] (Flashback) Hiromu**
Darn it. That old bastard'll pay for this!
**[13:43] Mochizuki**
Oh? Sounds like a rough start to the day.
**[13:47] Mochizuki**
Be back soon, Michi.
**[13:55] Michiru**
Da...
**[13:56] Michiru**
Habbagooday...
**[14:04] Mochizuki**
I'll be back this evening, I swear!
**[14:07] Mochizuki**
*"Da" really misses you, too!*
**[14:18] Masaki**
Michi-ku—
**[14:19] Hikari**
Miccha.
**[14:20] Masaki**
*Whoops!*
**[14:22] Hikari**
You lonely?
**[14:27] Hikari**
No worries!
**[14:28] Hikari**
Hi-kun's gonna spend all day wichoo!
**[14:35] Hikari**
C'mon, les play!
**[14:53] Hikari**
Hina-chan!
**[14:55] Hikari**
Over here! C'mere!
**[14:57] Michiru**
Hina-chan's wawking...
**[15:00] Hikari**
She learned how to yesserday!
***SIGN*** ° It was not
yesterday
**[15:04] Hikari**
She'll stop when Hi-kun hides.
**[15:07] Hikari**
Shoosh! Look at her.
**[15:21] Hikari**
Ones uponnatime dere was
a peach in a river...
**[15:25] Michiru**
River... peach...
**[15:28] Masaki**
Yakitori.
**[15:30] Hikari**
Egg is so good!
**[15:33] Michiru**
Da makes good food in micowwave.
**[15:37] Hikari**
Wow!
**[15:44] Masaki**
*They finally settled down.*
**[15:47] Masaki**
* I was a little worried since*
* Michi-kun's not the active type,*
**[15:51] Masaki**
*but I guess it doesn't matter.*
**[15:53] Masaki**
*Hikari's got energy for both of them.*
**[15:56] Masaki**
*Still, Michi-kun's so grown up.*
**[16:00] Masaki**
* He does exactly what he's told,*
* and he never makes demands...*
**[16:06] Masaki**
*Still...*
**[16:11] Masaki**
*That had to be...*
**[16:19] Masaki**
Hinata doesn't usually wake up like this.
**[16:23] Masaki**
Guess all that playtime
got you worked up, huh?
**[16:27] Masaki**
Let's nap a little longer, sweetie.
**[16:33] Michiru**
Da?
**[16:35] Michiru**
Da?
**[16:41] Michiru**
Da...
**[16:45] Masaki**
Michi-kun?
**[16:46] Michiru**
Da... Da...
**[16:50] Michiru**
Da?
**[16:52] Michiru**
Da!
**[16:55] Michiru**
Da!
**[16:58] Michiru**
Da!
**[17:00] Michiru**
Da?
**[17:03] Michiru**
Da!
**[17:05] Michiru**
Da!
**[17:07] Michiru**
Da! Da!
**[17:15] Michiru**
Da?
**[17:20] Michiru**
Da...
**[17:25] Michiru**
Where...
**[17:27] Masaki**
Michi-kun?
**[17:30] Michiru**
Da!
**[17:45] Masaki**
*I've seen this before.*
**[17:50] Masaki**
*When Hikari tried too hard to be grown-up...*
**[17:54] Masaki**
*That sounds about right.*
**[17:57] Masaki**
Michi-kun, you really miss your dad, huh?
**[18:00] Masaki**
You're okay.
**[18:02] Masaki**
You've worked so hard. You're so brave.
**[18:05] Masaki**
You've been working so hard for so long.
**[18:12] Masaki**
*Because you love him so much.*
**[18:14] (Flashback) Masaki**
I've been a weeping mess...
**[18:21] Hikari**
Miccha?
**[18:23] Hikari**
You cwying?
**[18:28] Hikari**
Ma-cha, Miccha got a tummy ache?
**[18:33] (Flashback) Hikari**
Hi-kun's gonna spend all day wichoo!
**[18:37] Michiru**
Hi-kun...
**[18:39] Masaki**
*He said his name for the first time!*
**[18:43] Michiru**
Hi-kun...
**[18:45] Hikari**
Yeah?
**[18:49] Hikari**
Wanna play more?
**[18:53] Michiru**
Yeah.
**[19:01] Hikari**
But we get snacks
if we nap all the way first,
**[19:06] Hikari**
so we gotta nap!
**[19:07] Michiru**
Snacks...
**[19:09] Masaki**
*So pure and earnest. So earnest...*
**[19:14] Masaki**
* How does just a little bit of pure, earnest*
* love make those little ones so strong?*
**[19:21] Masaki**
*You're all so incredible.*
**[19:25] Masaki**
*Hang on to that feeling forever.*
**[19:28] Masaki**
*I don't want to forget it, either.*
**[19:34] Mochizuki**
Thank you so much for your help today!
**[19:37] Mochizuki**
Michi, were you a good boy?
**[19:40] Mochizuki**
Yeah? That's great, Michi!
**[19:43] Michiru**
Da. Gross.
**[19:44] Mochizuki**
Please! Isn't this what a Daddy does?
**[19:47] Mochizuki**
Hey, Michi, are your eyes a little red?
**[19:50] Masaki**
Ah, that's right.
**[19:52] Masaki**
During his nap he got lonely
and cried for a bit.
**[19:57] Masaki**
He cheered up right away after, but...
**[20:00] Mochizuki**
Wait, he cried?
**[20:02] Masaki**
I think waking up in an unfamiliar
house got him a little mixed up.
**[20:09] Mochizuki**
This might sound a little strange to you,
**[20:13] Mochizuki**
but I think he's been keeping too much in.
**[20:18] Masaki**
I can't say for sure, but...
**[20:21] Hikari**
Ma-cha, Hi-kun wants uppies, too!
**[20:24] Masaki**
I do think it's a possibility...
**[20:27] Masaki**
Still, don't be too hard on yourself.
**[20:31] Masaki**
I think he's working so hard
because he loves you so, so much.
**[20:39] Michiru**
There, there.
**[20:43] Mochizuki**
Yeah?
**[20:45] Mochizuki**
Thanks, Michi.
**[20:47] Mochizuki**
I'll work hard, too.
**[20:49] Mochizuki**
Because I love you, Michi.
**[20:54] Mochizuki**
Well, I've worked up
a pretty sizable debt to you.
**[20:58] Mochizuki**
I'll come by to see your
husband some time, too.
**[21:02] Masaki**
I'll tell him.
**[21:03] Hikari**
Miccha! Let's play again t'morrow!
**[21:07] Michiru**
'Kay! Seeyoo t'morrow!
**[21:22] Hikari/Michiru**
Twick or tweat!
**[21:25] Yuki**
Nice work, you two.
**[21:26] Yuki**
Here's your candy.
**[21:28] Hikari**
Candy!
**[21:29] Yuki**
"Trick or treat" means "give me
some candy or I'll be mean to you."
**[21:35] Hikari**
Mean? Like how?
**[21:37] Yuki**
How?
**[21:38] Yuki**
Um... tickle you a lot, maybe?
**[21:43] Masaki**
Yuki-kun, thanks for the help.
**[21:45] Yuki**
Mom got the stuff from work.
**[21:48] Yuki**
And...
**[21:51] Yuki**
I'm glad I got to meet the famous Michirun.
**[21:54] Yuki**
I'd heard so much about you, I feel
like I already know you, Michirun.
**[21:59] Michiru**
Michirun?
**[22:01] Yuto/Shuto**
I'm home!
**[22:03] Hikari**
It's Papa!
**[22:05] Hikari**
Papa! Papa!
**[22:05] Masaki**
That's not Hiro-san's voice.
**[22:08] Masaki**
Hikari, wait—
**[22:11] Yuto/Shuto**
Trick or treat!
**[22:16] Yuto/Shuto**
Give us some candy...
**[22:19] Yuto/Shuto**
or we'll be mean to you!
**[22:25] Masaki**
Who are you two?!
**[22:31] Yuto**
Masaki!
**[22:32] Shuto**
It's Masaki!
**[22:34] Yuto**
How long's it been?
**[22:34] Shuto**
You look well!
**[22:35] Yuto**
Great to see!
**[22:36] Shuto**
Yeah, it's great!
**[22:40] Masaki**
Yuto-san!
**[22:41] Yuto**
Yep!
**[22:42] Masaki**
Shuto-san!
**[22:43] Shuto**
Yep.
