**[00:02] Kyousuke**
You've been locked in there
for three days now, haven't you?
**[00:05] Kyousuke**
It's not good for your health.
**[00:09] Kyousuke**
What happened with Tamaki-san
was terrible, but...
**[00:12] Kyousuke**
But, it wasn't your fault...
**[00:14] Kayo**
He's still not coming out?
**[00:16] Kyousuke**
No.
**[00:18] Kayo**
I'm coming in!
**[00:19] Kyousuke**
What? Wait! Kayo-chan!
***SIGN*** Gaiheikan
**[00:22] Kayo**
Pull yourself together!
**[00:24] Kayo**
You're a man. Aren't you
embarrassed acting like this?
**[00:27] Kayo**
Sleeping under a roof like this,
eating cooked meals...
**[00:30] Kayo**
It all takes money!
**[00:32] Kayo**
Get to work, and be of use to society!
**[00:36] Kayo**
It's what Tamaki-san...
told you to do, isn't it?
**[00:44] Kyousuke**
K-Kayo-chan?

**[02:38] Nomura**
Why such a long face?
**[02:40] Kyousuke**
Lately, Ishikawa-kun has
been isolating himself.
**[02:44] Sakutarou**
I don't blame him.
**[02:46] Sakutarou**
That man—Sonobe—seems to
have been acquitted
**[02:49] Sakutarou**
on the grounds of self-defense, after all.
**[02:51] Kyousuke**
Yes...
**[02:54] Yoshii**
There's no need to worry so much, is there?
**[02:57] Kyousuke**
What?
**[02:58] Yoshii**
I mean...
**[02:59] Yoshii**
He only met this Tamaki
about two weeks ago, right?
**[03:03] Kyousuke**
That's true, but...
**[03:05] Yoshii**
We are speaking of Ishikawa-kun.
He's always quick to change.
**[03:08] Yoshii**
Give it a week and I'm sure he'll be
chasing some other woman's skirts.
**[03:13] Yoshii**
Huh? What's wrong?
**[03:20] Yoshii**
Ishikawa-kun!
**[03:21] Yoshii**
I-I didn't mean anything by it!
**[03:23] Takuboku**
It's just as you say.
**[03:25] Takuboku**
Up until now, I've been...
**[03:26] Takuboku**
egotistical, selfish, pretentious
about my so-called genius...
**[03:29] Takuboku**
an utterly unbearable man.
***SIGN*** (Tokyo) Hiraide Kindaichi Kurihara Kumagai Komunai Nomura Hagiwara
**[03:37] Takuboku**
Nomura-san.
**[03:38] Nomura**
Huh? Yes?
**[03:40] Takuboku**
Nomura-san, I've borrowed 26 yen from you.
**[03:43] Nomura**
I-Is it really that much?
**[03:45] Takuboku**
It pains me to do things this way,
**[03:47] Takuboku**
but if I paid back just one tenth
to everyone this time,
**[03:51] Takuboku**
would that be all right?
**[03:52] Nomura**
O-Of course. It's fine.
**[03:58] Takuboku**
It really was a great help.
**[04:00] Nomura**
Sure. If anything else
comes up, let me know.
**[04:04] Takuboku**
Hagiwara-san, I've borrowed
13 yen from you, so...
**[04:07] Takuboku**
If one yen would be all right this time...
**[04:09] Sakutarou**
Yes. That's more than enough.
**[04:14] Yoshii**
What on earth is he doing?
**[04:16] Kyousuke**
I don't know.
**[04:19] Akutagawa**
Even demons get sunstroke.
**[04:30] Kyousuke**
Ishikawa-kun?
**[04:32] Takuboku**
Come in.
**[04:37] Kyousuke**
What are you writing?
**[04:39] Takuboku**
The story of me and Tamaki-san.
**[04:43] Takuboku**
A little while back, Morita-kun's
*Soot and Smoke* was popular, remember?
**[04:46] Kyousuke**
The novel about his failed attempt
**[04:48] Kyousuke**
to commit a lovers' suicide
with Hiratsuka-san, right?
**[04:51] Kyousuke**
But, you...
**[04:53] Kyousuke**
Didn't you say you didn't like
that kind of flaunting of faults?
**[04:55] Takuboku**
Yes. I despise it.
**[04:58] Kyousuke**
Then, why...
**[05:00] Takuboku**
Making a show of one's
faults or whatever else...
**[05:02] Takuboku**
if it isn't being talked about,
there's no point in writing it.
**[05:06] Kyousuke**
Talked about?
**[05:07] Takuboku**
If it doesn't have the power
to change society,
**[05:10] Takuboku**
writing it is pointless.
**[05:12] Takuboku**
How people should live
their lives in this world...
**[05:15] Takuboku**
I want to make people think about that.
**[05:19] Kyousuke**
But... What about your poetry?
**[05:22] Takuboku**
Poetry? That's just a simple pastime.
**[05:24] Takuboku**
It isn't a man's vocation.
**[05:28] Takuboku**
I must be reborn.
**[05:31] Takuboku**
That's what Tamaki-san wanted.
**[05:50] Sakutarou**
I wonder what's happened.
**[05:52] Sakutarou**
Ishikawa-san returning our money is...
**[05:55] Yoshii**
It's just a whim of his.
**[05:57] Sakutarou**
But, somehow, he seemed different.
**[06:02] Yoshii**
Putting you off guard like
that is his usual play, isn't it?
**[06:06] Yoshii**
He hasn't changed at all.
**[06:11] Nomura**
Could be it's us who need to change.
**[06:16] Sakutarou**
What do you mean?
**[06:18] Nomura**
He's always done what he likes
and enjoyed life, right?
**[06:24] Nomura**
If that's what serves
to enrich his poetry, then...
**[06:27] Nomura**
he might be the one who's living
his life the way it should be lived.
**[06:48] Kyousuke**
Morning!
**[06:50] Takuboku**
Good morning.
**[06:52] Takuboku**
What is that?
**[06:53] Kyousuke**
It's the wild pansy you bought
while drunk about two months ago.
**[06:58] Takuboku**
But, didn't it dry up and die?
**[07:00] Kyousuke**
After taking care of it every day,
**[07:02] Kyousuke**
it's turned out as you can see.
**[07:06] Takuboku**
I see.
**[07:08] Takuboku**
That might work, too.
***SIGN*** Gaiheikan
**[07:36] Takuboku**
Thank you. It was delicious.
**[07:38] Kyousuke**
Looks like much of your
appetite has returned.
**[07:40] Takuboku**
You can't write a novel when you're hungry.
**[07:46] Kyousuke**
It's a nice time of year, isn't it?
**[07:48] Takuboku**
Actually... I had a favor to ask...
**[07:52] Kyousuke**
What is it?
**[07:53] Kyosuuke**
Ask me anything. If it's
something I can do, I will.
**[07:56] Takuboku**
Would you lend me five yen?
**[08:00] Kyousuke**
What do you need it for?
**[08:02] Takuboku**
I was thinking of setting the novel in
Izumo, Tamaki-san's hometown.
**[08:08] Takuboku**
I thought I need to go see it once.
**[08:13] Kyousuke**
This is all I have at the moment, but...
**[08:15] Takuboku**
I'm in your debt.
**[08:17] Kyousuke**
I'm glad it's going well.

**[08:27] Nomura**
So, how is Ishikawa doing?
**[08:31] Kyousuke**
He's working hard, writing a novel.
**[08:34] Nomura**
Huh?
**[08:35] Nomura**
Not poetry?
**[08:35] Yoshii**
Three milks.
**[08:36] Kyousuke**
No.
**[08:37] server**
Right away.
**[08:39] Sakutarou**
When he came here to return our money...
I wonder what that was about.
**[08:42] Yoshii**
He'll show up to borrow
money again soon enough.
**[08:46] Kyousuke**
Right now, Ishikawa-kun
is desperately trying to change.
**[08:50] Yoshii**
I'm not so sure.
**[08:54] Yoshii**
Even if he is thinking that way,
**[08:56] Yoshii**
trying to change his personality
or lifestyle
**[08:58] Yoshii**
at this point, it's pretty much—
**[08:59] Kyousuke**
He *can* change!
**[09:01] Kyousuke**
I *know* he can change.
**[09:05] Yoshii**
There's no need to be
so vehement about it...
**[09:27] Yoshii**
What was all that about, I wonder.
**[09:29] Sakutarou**
What?
**[09:30] Yoshii**
When it comes to Ishikawa-kun,
he gets worked up so quickly.
**[09:35] Yoshii**
And, anyway, it's only because Kindaichi-kun
spoils him that Ishikawa-kun
**[09:38] Yoshii**
pushes his luck in the first place.
**[09:40] Sakutarou**
That may be true, but...
**[09:42] Sakutarou**
he may be struggling, in his own way.
**[09:45] Sakutarou**
At the very least,
that's what Kindaichi-san...
**[09:50] Yoshii**
Something wrong?
**[09:51] Sakutarou**
No. It's nothing.
***SIGN*** Natsume
**[10:33] Takuboku**
If you'd please give me
your honest opinion.
**[10:38] Natsume**
There's a sense of reality that could
not be achieved unless one had lived it.
**[10:43] Natsume**
I felt this when I read Morita-kun's
*Soot and Smoke*, too, but...
**[10:46] Natsume**
At first glance, the young people seem
to be living dirty, unsightly lives...
**[10:51] Natsume**
but in reality, they are
fighting a resolute battle
**[10:53] Natsume**
against the antiquated
structures of society.
**[10:55] Natsume**
It has been depicted very well here.
**[10:59] Takuboku**
Thank you for your words.
**[11:07] Natsume**
Has your health improved?
**[11:09] Takuboku**
Yes.
**[11:10] Natsume**
You shouldn't push yourself too hard,
**[11:12] Natsume**
but I hope next time
you'll let me hear a tanka.
**[11:17] Takuboku**
Then I'll take my leave, for today.
**[11:24] Akutagawa**
Professor...
**[11:26] Natsume**
And what should I have said?
**[11:29] Natsume**
He *looks* in poor health, after all.
**[11:31] Natsume**
There will be another opportunity.
**[11:41] Yoshii**
And today, once again,
we'll drink cheap alcohol
**[11:43] Yoshii**
and find our way to bed, shall we?
**[11:45] Sakutarou**
Whether he's thinking of changing or not,
**[11:47] Sakutarou**
we're just the same as always.
**[11:49] Sakutarou**
Aren't we?
**[11:53] Yoshii**
But...
**[11:55] Yoshii**
having a friend who believes
in him so completely...
**[11:59] Yoshii**
I have to say I am jealous.
**[12:01] Sakutarou**
Are you?
**[12:06] geisha**
Are you all right?
**[12:11] geisha**
Honestly.
**[12:12] Takuboku**
One more cup!
**[12:13] geisha**
Of course. Here we go.
**[12:16] geisha**
There you are.
**[12:18] geisha**
Should you be drinking so—
**[12:24] Takuboku**
Hey, you two!
**[12:27] Takuboku**
Care to join me?
**[12:30] Yoshii**
You've been a frequent topic
of conversation recently.
**[12:34] Yoshii**
We've been wondering if maybe it's your
brazen shamelessness that we're lacking.
**[12:39] Takuboku**
It does take talent to be this
brazenly shameless, you know.
**[12:42] Yoshii**
You see?
**[12:44] Yoshii**
I knew he hadn't changed—
**[12:46] Sakutarou**
How are you going to pay for this?
**[12:49] Takuboku**
Luckily, I happen
to have a very kind friend.
**[12:53] Sakutarou**
Kindaichi-san said that you
were trying to change...
**[12:57] Sakutarou**
That you were suffering,
that he wanted to help you...
**[13:01] geisha A**
We'll take our leave here.
**[13:06] Sakutarou**
Betraying Kindaichi-san's
friendship like this...
**[13:08] Sakutarou**
aren't you ashamed of yourself?
**[13:11] Takuboku**
Just the sort of thing someone
with no talent would say.
**[13:15] Takuboku**
What you speak of is the reasoning
of an ordinary person.
**[13:18] Takuboku**
A genius capable of anything does
not fret over such trivialities!
**[13:22] Takuboku**
This life of mine—my time here—
must be used to serve society!
**[13:28] Sakutarou**
Even if it means trampling over friendships?
**[13:31] Takuboku**
It's really only ever been
a nuisance, anyway.
**[13:34] Takuboku**
He's always forcing his
"friendship" on me when—
**[13:47] Yoshii**
My apologies.
**[13:48] Yoshii**
When I heard you belittling a friend,
I couldn't help wanting to punch you.
**[13:56] Yoshii**
Let's go.
**[14:11] Takuboku**
People without talent can be so uncivilized.
**[14:22] Takuboku**
This thing...
**[14:25] Takuboku**
Reality? Not even a little...

Have you not slept much?
**[14:42] Takuboku**
I was busy reading over my materials.
**[14:45] Takuboku**
Were you able to gather the money?
**[14:48] Kyousuke**
Here.
**[14:51] Takuboku**
I don't know where you borrowed it from,
**[14:54] Takuboku**
but people really do seem
to like you, Kyousuke-san.
**[14:59] Kyousuke**
Ishikawa-kun, would you like
to give it some water?
**[15:02] Kyousuke**
Somehow, it makes you feel happier.
**[15:15] Kyousuke**
Are you all right?
**[15:16] Kayo**
Hey! Be more careful!
**[15:18] Kyousuke**
I-I'm so sorry!

**[16:19] Sakutarou**
I think the feelings you have towards
Ishikawa-san are beautiful.
**[16:24] Kyousuke**
I see...
**[16:25] Sakutarou**
But... they'll never come to anything.
**[16:28] Kyousuke**
What are we talking about?
**[16:30] Sakutarou**
The thing is—
**[16:31] Yoshii**
Stop it. This isn't for us to interfere in.
**[16:33] Sakutarou**
No. Let me say this.
**[16:38] Sakutarou**
Tattling isn't something I particularly
want to partake in, but...
**[16:42] Kyousuke**
Is it about him going to
the pleasure district?
**[16:59] Kyousuke**
Can I come in for a moment?
**[17:02] Takuboku**
Can you come back later?
**[17:04] Kyousuke**
I bought some soy sauce mochi...
**[17:10] Kyousuke**
How is the novel going?
**[17:12] Takuboku**
Can we do this later?
**[17:15] Kyousuke**
I'd like to at least leave you
this soy sauce mochi...
**[17:18] Takuboku**
Please, just go away!
**[17:20] Takuboku**
You're always pretending to help me
just to make yourself feel better!
**[17:23] Kyousuke**
When have I ever done that?
**[17:26] Kyousuke**
I know you're a genius.
**[17:29] Kyousuke**
I feel it from the bottom of my heart.
**[17:31] Takuboku**
It's fine.
**[17:33] Takuboku**
I'll come get it later.
**[17:36] Kyousuke**
What?
**[17:37] Kyousuke**
What are you doing?
**[17:40] Kyousuke**
Ishikawa-kun!
**[17:44] Takuboku**
It's hilarious...
**[17:47] Takbuoku**
This will never be enough to kill me...
**[17:51] Takuboku**
Kyousuke-san.
**[17:53] Takuboku**
Why do you bother being kind
to someone so absurd?
**[17:58] Takuboku**
Enough is enough!
**[18:17] Bokusui**
What's this?
**[18:19] Bokusui**
Why, if it isn't Ishikawa-san!
**[18:22] Takuboku**
Did you just get back?
**[18:24] Bokusui**
Yes.
**[18:25] Bokusui**
I took the Tokaido line down to Omi,
**[18:27] Bokusui**
and came back up through
the Hokuriku region.
**[18:30] Bokusui**
And the wounds from my love
have pretty much healed.
**[18:34] Takuboku**
I'm jealous, Wakayama-san.
**[18:38] Bokusui**
Has something happened?
**[18:41] Takuboku**
I think... I'm tired...
**[18:44] Bokusui**
Well, that's no good.
**[18:46] Bokusui**
We need you working away at your poetry!
**[18:49] Bokusui**
I really love your poems.
**[18:52] Takuboku**
In your travels...
**[18:54] Takuboku**
what poems did you find?
**[18:59] Bokusui**
"Over many mountains and rivers
**[19:01] Bokusui**
I travel far
**[19:02] Bokusui**
This loneliness
**[19:04] Bokusui**
a land where it finds its end...
**[19:06] Bokusui**
*Today, too, I travel..."*
**[19:08] song**
*If I go, just as my heart wishes,*
**[19:14] song**
*crossing over many mountains and rivers,*
**[19:20] song**
* will this loneliness*
* that will not release me*
**[19:26] song**
*fade away*
**[19:31] song**
* These feelings*
* that will never be fulfilled...*
**[19:37] song**
*made the smiles of my younger days*
**[19:43] song**
*a little brighter...*
**[19:46] song**
*I only wish I could say it were true.*
**[20:16] Kyousuke**
Quite nostalgic, isn't it?
**[20:26] Takuboku**
How?
**[20:29] Kyousuke**
"Over many mountains and rivers
**[20:30] Kyousuke**
I travel far..."
**[20:32] Takuboku**
But...
**[20:33] Takuboku**
I didn't even tell Wakayama-san
where I was going...
**[20:36] Kyousuke**
When I heard this poem,
**[20:39] Kyousuke**
I felt an overwhelming desire
to come back home.
**[20:42] Kyousuke**
I was sure you'd feel
the same, Ishikawa-kun.
**[20:46] Takuboku**
In the end...
**[20:48] Takuboku**
this was the only place
I had to come home to.
**[20:53] Kyousuke**
Isn't it a little too soon to come home
with your dreams in tatters?
**[21:01] Takuboku**
Why do you look out for me?
**[21:06] Takuboku**
I mean, it's not going to get you anything.
**[21:09] Takuboku**
And soon, I'll be...
**[21:15] Kyousuke**
Maybe because it's just
the way things are...
**[21:19] Kyousuke**
The time I spent here with you
all those years ago...
**[21:22] Kyousuke**
Living in the same boarding
house in Tokyo with you...
**[21:26] Kyousuke**
And standing here beside you now...
**[21:30] Kyousuke**
At some point, it just became the way
things are supposed to be for me.
**[21:34] Kyousuke**
When I'm with you, I can go back
to the way we were, anytime.
**[21:42] Takuboku**
I can't write a decent novel...
**[21:46] Takbuoku**
I can't avenge the woman I loved...
**[21:49] Takuboku**
You keep stopping me,
so I can't die, either...
**[21:54] Kyousuke**
Whether you go to the pleasure district,
**[21:56] Kyousuke**
or sell my books to
the pawnshop without asking...
**[21:58] Kyousuke**
I don't care about any of that.
**[22:01] Kyousuke**
If you need money, I'll lend you
however much you ask for.
**[22:06] Kyousuke**
But...
**[22:09] Kyousuke**
the one thing I will
never allow is your death.
**[22:21] Kyousuke**
I will continue to watch over you, forever.
