At Yugawara? It was a reunion of fate.
At the hot spring resort area?
She looked good with her "Yukata".
That sounds like she has a boyfriend.
Too bad. Find another girl.
She isn't that type of girl.
You never know what women are like.
If so, she wouldn't have made a promise with me.
If you say so, I don't mind.
So? Where did you go with her?
What?
I stood her up.
Are you an idiot!?
I'm!!
I know! Why do I always screw up at crucial moments?
You just have to apologize from the heart. You do have her contact info, don't you?
No way ...
You didn't ask her again?
Not just her contact, but her name too...
What should I do?!
Give it up.
No way!!!
An academic ability test has been done,
and here are the results.
By the way Izumi is number 1 in our school again.
Let's applause him.
That's strange...
Shinagawa-kun...
What's strange?
Although, my scores are up, Why am I still at the bottom.
No wonder with this score.
Why is that?
I said so many times..
These tests are all out of 100 points.
You aren't at the bottom only in our grades but also on a national scale.
Well then, how did Shinagawa-kun do on it?
Incredible Shinagawa.
I put a little effort in this time around.
You'll have to put in a lot more effort next time or it will be troubling ...
Shinagawa! What's with you?
Your parent-teacher-student meeting is till up in the air.
When are we going to do that?
Huh? When was it?
Do you want me to visit your house again?
Alright! I'll ask them!
Please fix the date early.
"career option"
Chiba,
Yes?
you too.
Your mother contacted me.
She seems to want to discuss more about your career.
Seiya-chan
I baked some cake, won't you eat some?
About the parent-teacher-student meeting.
Your father is busy with work and said he can't come.
But it's okay, I listened to your father's opinions.
You don't have to worry about anything.
I'll leave the cake here.
I'm coming!
What are you erasing?
Nothing!
Aren't you going to take the science course?
Are you taking the science course?
You want to become an astronaut, right?
Not really an astronaut...
Cool! It's great, isn't it!
You can be one because you're strong.
Can you take me to space with you then?
No, no way!
So it's impossible?
No, it's not like it's impossible for you. It's impossible for me.
Wanting to go to space,
I thought it would be nice to go into that department
After all, shouldn't I be more realistic?
In the end, dreams are just dreams.
Dreams?
What is your dream Shinagawa-kun?
Me?
I don't have one.
Why don't you have any dream?
Being born as a human you should have at least one or two dreams
Who cares!
I'll live happily one day at a time.
He really is a man with no dreams.
So, I have no dream.
Rinka-san, what is your dream?
Listen when someone speaks to you.
My dream?
My dream...
I'm home.
Welcome home! Darling.
Yeah. Want to take a bath?
Or do you want to have a dinner first?
I feel like going to bed.
It's annoying so I'm going to bed. Don't wake me up.
You gotta be kidding me! Wake up!
Ouch! What the hell are you doing?
Izumi-kun, what is your dream?
I don't have such a thing.
It's only a pass point of my life.
First, I get in Tokyo's best Faculty of Law and graduate as top of the class.
And then enter the Ministry of finance and run this country as a bureaucrat.
Isn't that a great dream?
You understood that?
In my case, it's not just a dream.
It's my plan.
Nope. It's a dream.
To picture your life is about having a dream, isn't it?
You may be talking big, but what about you?
Well, I...
Facing myself is all I can do for now.
So she's just a girl without a dream?
Yes.
See you! Yeah.
I'm hungry!
Welcome home. Ah Chiba-kun, hello.
Hello.
You? What are you doing here?
Why don't you come inside? It's a rare opportunity.
Excuse me. Yes. Please.
What is a rare opportunity?
It's okay Chiba-kun, you can sit over there.
I'm fine. I like doing small tasks like these.
Isn't that great? I sure envy your mother.
LOL LOL!
I envy Chiba-kun's mother.
Ah?! Hey, give it back! Are you listening to what I'm saying?
Hmm? You are talking about Chiba's mom, right?
Once you see her, you're gonna faint from envy.
She is beautiful, lovely, pretty...
That's not what I meant.
Why can't you be more like Chiba-kun?
Ah... I can't hear you.
If that's the case, then I'm throwing away all these manga.
Wait, anything but that.
I'm throwing them out. Hey, cut it out!
I'm home!
Are you Daichi's friend ?
Nice to meet you, I'm Shinagawa-kun's classmates, Chiba.
You're really tall. Are you really a senior high school student?
Kairi, you are being rude.
But he seems to be smart and totally different from Daichi.
Right??
Irritating.
Let's eat!
Hey you, what are you doing here?
Heh?
It's fine, this is a rare opportunity. Right, Chiba-kun?
Here, eat as much as you want.
Thank you very much.
Wait a minute.
What?
Compared to Chiba's portion, mine has gotten really small don't you think?
If you don't work you shall not eat.
The people of the past said good things.
It's a word of wisdom.
I'll start eating.
This "Gyoza" is really delicious!
Chiba-kun made that.
No wonder it's big.
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.
Not at all.
This will be worth eating.
I'll be taking a bit more myself.
Ahh! What the hell are you doing?
You're annoying. My stomach's empty. You have a problem with that?
Eat yours!
I'm eating properly!
all of this !
What are you doing?!
Shut up! You'are gonna get chubby if you eat all this.
Too bad. At least every single piece of nutrition will go right up here
cause I'm using my brain, so I won't get chubby.
Oh , you liar !
You know that's not true.
Give me back.
It's mine!
Hey!
Calm down a little.
You two, what are you doing in front of our guest?
Stop acting like children already.
My precious "succeeder" wishes for that.
Give that to her right now.
It hurts!
Here, succeeder. Have this. Don't hold back Kairi.
I'm fine.
Thank you for the meal.
Then I'll be taking thi... Chiba-kun, here you go.
Thank you.
Yes, eat some more.
Why do I have to do this?
Since Chiba-kun helped me cook, shouldn't you help me clean up?
Ah look, there's still some soap left.
Whatever, it's fine!
It's not fine. If you're like that you can't be a good husband.
What are you doing?
Sorry, I took a bath before you.
It's fine, this is a rare opportunity.
Let's drink some tea.
How is this a rare opportunity?
What do you think you are doing?
Here you go, Chiba-kun.
Sorry. I can't sleep with a low pillow.
It's fine. This is a rare opportunity. Right?
What's a rare opportunity?
So you're ignoring me?

I knew you could do it, Hana-san.
Well, it was all thanks to that study camp.
It is important to study by yourself,
and not rely such things as the foothbath that makes you smarter.
Hana-san...
... What is it?
On the last night of the study camp, where did you go?
To the foothbath that could makes you smarter.
Did you go alone?
I also wanted you to ask me to go there.
There's no need for you to go to such a place.
You are right.
I went all the way there with Shinagawa-kun, but it was closed.
Why Shinagawa, though?
Well, I can't be smart alone.
Was it really only because of that?
Yes.
He also seems to want to become smart.
Is that so.
He's so naive.
You two should take baths soon.
Well then, Rinka-san, go first. No, no, you go first.
Are you sure?
Okay. I'm going then.
Black is in the lead.
The other day, a call came in from my home.
It was a thank you call for a card I sent to them from Yugawara.
"Thank you" is the only thing he said.
But yeah that was it ...
I was able to talk to them more obediently than before.
That's why I think I'm really glad to be here
And it's all thanks to Hana-san and grandpa.
Is that so? Yes.
But, I wonder how Hana-san feels.
What do you mean?
Lately,
I got used to her style
and her way of talking.
But, the Hana-san that I knew wasn't like that.
Yeah ...
Rinka-chan... Do you prefer the old Hana?
Was yankee-Hana companionable for you?
Hmm ...
I don't think she's that much different than what she was before.
She is still kind and caring.
To be honest, I don't know which one is better.
Maybe... both Hana's
are real and not real.
How?
I don't understand what you mean,grandpa.
Hey wait, there...
You gotta be kidding.
How?!
Alright! I win!
Should we play once more?
What did your mom tell you?
She told me to study hard.
What was that about?
I told her that I would be studying at your place tonight.
What?
You need to tell a lie for sleeping over ?
It's 'cause my dad's annoying.
My dad wouldn't say anything for just a sleep over.
Me neither.
My mom is the one who gets yelled at...
When I get bad grades or cause trouble,
mom is the one who gets the blame.
She got yelled at that it was all her fault,
when I started missing school.
How to put it.. I guess you've got some problems at home too.
My dad told the teacher to redo the parent-teacher-student meeting.
My dad is the director of a big law firm.
That's why...
He told me to aim to be a lawyer.
I think he has absolutely no idea
what I think or what I want to do.
You know,
I gave up taking the science course.
That's why you should try harder for me.
Good night.
Kairi...
What is it?
I'd like to borrow a medical book.
It's almost time to decide your specialty.
You're right.
Can I borrow it?
Of course, go ahead.
Thanks.
Think long and hard.
Cause it's important.
Goodnight. Goodnight.
Not again!?
What?! You surprised me.
That's what I should be saying.
What are you doing in the dark?
What is it?
Give it back!
Department of obstetrics and gynecology?
Ouch! Don't just go around reading other peoples' things!
What is that about?
What, you want to open the obstetrics and gynecology here?
There's no way.
I might not take over this hospital.
What's that supposed to mean?
There's something I want to do.
That's why I can't take over the hospital.
I can't follow in dad's footsteps.
What is that you want to do?
I want to become a doctor.
My dream is to become an "ideal" doctor.
I realized that what dad wants to do
is different from what I want to do.
Can't you do your best and go study medicine?
What?!
Even if you can’t get in the medicine school this year, you could try next year.
You have to take over this clinic.
What are you talking about?
That's natural. It's a role of the the eldest son.
I've been working hard and now it's your turn.
Stop messing around!
Why are you always like that?
Yourself, yourself, yourself, yourself All you think about is yourself!
Just so you could do whatever you liked
you have no idea what I felt until now.
What kind of feelings are they?
Tell me.
Saying that I always do whatever I want...
Then what about you?
What exactly is it you're doing?
Everyday, your just lazing around reading manga.
What is the mind of that kind of person?
An idiot like you, who doesn't put any effort into anything,
doesn't have the right to critisize me.
Ahh... Where is the toilet?
The toilet is right there. Okay.
Shinagawa-Kun! Chiba-kun, good morning.
Good morning. Good morning.
You two are so close.
Yesterday I stayed at Shinagawa-kun's place.
What a coincidence. Rinka-san is also staying at my place.
You mean she's a freeloader.
Shinagawa-kun, good morning. Hey aren't you listening to me?
Shinagawa-kun! Good morning!
When someone says "good morning", you should reply, shouldn't you?
What's wrong with him?
Today he isn't in a good mood.
What's up with him?
What are you doing here?
Give it back.
What are you doing in a place like this?
It's none of your business.
Yes, it is. I'm your class representative.
Do you have a responsibility?
Thanks for the hard work, as always.
I'll give you that if you want,
so leave me alone.
What's wrong?
What had happened?
Nothing...
Then why are you here again?
Why did you skip classes?
It's not like your usual self Shinagawa-kun.
Being myself... you say?
What am I usually like?
Well that's...
You live one day at a time without a dream.
That's what I said.
Sorry, I just...
You know, you ..
are really a carefree idiot.
There's no such thing as a person without a dream.
People don't talk about it,
but everyone has something that they dream about.
Even I have something.
Even though I won't say it,
there is something.
So why don't you just say it?
If you have a dream, you should say so.
Are you an idiot?
I'm not saying it because I can't say it.
Unlike you,
I'm not someone who can see things in black and white.
Here is good.
Tell me, grandpa.
What is it?
What is your dream?
What is it about, all of a sudden?
I was told that there's no such thing as a person without a dream.
Well, that's true.
I've always told you...
I can't imagine you wouldn't be here.
That I wouldn't be here?
Yeah.
That's the dream? Exactly.
And... what is your dream?
My dream...
I don't know.
It's because I still don't know myself too well.
My dream...
As for my dream...
It's probably to live with you,
just like this.
It's same as now.
Grandpa!
Why do you always fall down from here?
Ohh... You surprised me.
About the parent-teacher meeting, anytime will be fine.
What, are you confused about something?
Make up your mind to take the science course.
You just have to raise your math grades, that's all.
Don't say it so easily.
It's not something that can be decided so easily.
Choose your life by yourself.
Dad...
Do you have any expectations of me?
What do you mean expectations?
Since I'm your eldest son,
as a father, is there anything you expect of your son?
I don't know what Kairi told you but...
Kairi is Kairi, you are you.
You don't need to worry about me nor this clinic.
Geez, why would I have to expect anything of you?
What an absurd thing to say!
Idiot!
Of course...
Hello. Hi.
Hello. Hello.
Excuse me...
Yes!
I'm looking for Chiba Seiya.
What's your relationship with him?
I'm his mother.
Mother!?
Nice to meet you. My name is Matsuyama Keisuke.
Chiba-kun's mother! Hello!
Oh, Hana-chan!
Is it a cake?
I'm sorry.
Today it's not meant for you.
I see.
Where could I find Seiya-chan?
Ah, Chiba-kun! Your mother is here.
Please take care of this for me.
Shinigawa-kun, today the cake's not meant for us.
Of course not.
But I wonder...
why do you redo a parent-teacher meeting?
How would I know?
What do you mean by that? You're also have to meet again, right?
You are annoying...
Hey, where are you going?
It's none of your business.
It is... It is.
It's no good, Adachi-san. We need to clean up.
Ah ...
I'm sorry.
I'm truly sorry.
I've been telling him to go to a faculty of law.
He seems to be misunderstood...
Is that so ?
My husband has a great hopes in him.
You're going to get into the faculty of law
and become a lawyer like your dad. Right?
So that's how it is.
Is it really okay, Chiba?
Oh that's right, I made some sweets for you, sensei.
Maybe you could give this to your child.
Thank you very much. My wife is not good at these things.
This is so easy to make. I could give her a recipe.
Let's go home, mom.
We have already finished talking and are just bothering the teacher.
Was I a bother? No, of course not.
Just come...
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
You have to take a science course, if you wanna go to a medical school.
Do medicine and take over this hospital.
Why would I have to expect anything of you?
You're doing this again...
How long are you going to keep running?
Huh?
You've got nowhere to go.
Why don't you get it done?
Irritating.
Irritating?
You're just sulking.
You said that nothing is expected of you.
Then, are you going to be a doctor if you are expected to become one?
What about you?
Are you answering your dad's expectations?
Didn't you give up what you wanted to do?
You shouldn't be acting so high and mighty yourself.
What's wrong with you?
As long as you set your mind to it, you can be almost anything.
You could chose your path yourself.
Yet,
why are you just lazing about?
You too! What are you floundering around for?
If you have something you wanna do, just do it already.
Always going on about your dad
Don't blame it on someone else.
What about you?
Don't you feel sorry for yourself that you got an earful from your sis?
No wonder you get mocked by your family.
What was that?
What are you doing?
I understand how your sister feels.
The feeling of wanting to do something, but having to do something else instead.
I understand it well!
What are you saying?
Are you stupid?
She's just doing whatever she wants.
So then why don't you just do the same?
-As if I can! Why is that?
You can't do the things that you can't do.
You're wrong! You're just not confident, Shinagawa-kun.
you have something you want to do, you have a dream you want to come true.
You just won't acknowledge it because you have no confidence.
Shut up!
Don't just say whatever you want.
You're the one without confidence.
Because your mom is gonna get yelled at?
Are you kidding me?
In reality, you're the one who's scared.
You're just afraid of being yelled at by your dad.
Isn't that why you're running away and why you shut yourself in?
It couldn't be helped!
Your situation and mine are different!
My family isn't the kind to whom I could give away my true feelings!
Me neither!
I never reveal my true feelings to my family.
I never said it.
Yes, you were!
Stop it already!!
Ouch!
What were you guys doing!?
Are you ok? Sorry!
Sorry that I am late!
His parents will come shortly.
Excuse me just for a bit.
You again?
It is me again.
Irritating.
It's a bit sudden, but I want to announce my dream here.
My dream is ...
Shinagawa-kun!
Shinagawa-kun ...
Listen properly, Shinagawa-kun.
You're annoying!
I don't care what your dream is!
You should care!
This concerns you too!
So, please listen carefully.
My dream is...
that forever, we all would keep
getting along well...
That's...
what I think my dream is at the moment.
Are you stupid?
That's not a dream.
Even so...
Even if everyone laughs at me.
That's still my dream.
That's why you too should...
should say your dream out loud.
If you have something you want to do, If there's something you want to become,
You should put it into words.
Isn't it okay if your laughed at?
To imagine your future,
is something that no one else could do but you.
What my father told me to do wasn't wrong.
You may be a bit half-hearted now, but...
when you're an adult, you'll realize it, he told me.
Your father is expecting you to...
That's all she says. They won't listen to me.
What are expectations anyway?
Expectations?
I wonder...
What is it really?
Affection, maybe??
Because of love, we have expectations...
Because of love, parents want their child to walk a safe path.
But you know, that's a bit difficult.
If you only look at the ideal map and you lose your way...
you wouldn't know where and how to continue.
That's wagging the dog.
That's why Daichi, chose his own path.
I don't have a problem with what Daichi chose himself.
Your parents too. If you choose your own path,
they probably won't say anything.
It might take a little time though.
I am so sorry.
I can't get a hold of my husband.
They've just arrived too.
Shinagawa-kun, about my Seiya-chan, I'm sorry.
No, I should be saying the same.
Please come in.
I am so sorry for what my son did.
No, no. This idiot is quick with his fists.
Here, it's nothing, but
Let's call it even.
No, no. My son caused trouble.
No way. Please don't say that...
That's enough Mom!
Seiya-chan.
I'll speak to dad properly...
But ... And about my career.
Teacher,
I'm sticking with science after all.
What is this Seiya-chan?
How am I going to explain this to your dad?
I'm fine. What do you mean you're fine?
I will decide my future myself.
This is my career .
Really? Are you ok?
Yeah
I see.
Let's do that.
It's as she says, sensei.
I got it.
I'm sorry, Chiba.
Shinagawa-kun.
Do you think people like you
really understand how sorry they are?
I reflected on my actions properly, haven't I?
Is that so?
Here.
I assume there will be no changes then?
Yes.
Is that alright?
He might cause you trouble again, thank you in advance.
Oh, no, same here.
But I have more to say. What is it?
I ...
I'm going to go into medicine.
That's why ... I'm going into medicine!
What are you swaggering?
What do you want? Got a problem with that?
I don't.
Then, I'll be taking my leave now.
Ah! uhh..
Shinagawa-san, uhh.. take this!
What do you want?
Nothing.
Irritating.
You're welcome.
You just said thank you, right?
What do you mean? Do you have weak hearing?
That's your "Lucky Ears". It's not my ears!
Don't be so stubborn. I am angry!
Ah! You have a mole right here, look Chiba-kun. Ah, you're right!
Listen when someone's speaking.
I'm suddenly very hungry.
You want to go some where?
That would be great! well then, Shinigawa kun's treating us.
Why do i have to?! It's fine isn't it? Since you have lucky ears.
Chiba's loaded, isn't he?
Stop being such a cheapskate. Good luck is fleeting, you know?
Chiba-kun, Shinagawa-kun, let's hurry.
Let's go.
Irritating.
Hamburger! I'm hungry!
You are the one who has the lucky ears.
