This might be the last time I come here.
This place meant the world to me this summer.
I'm sure you also have someone to show your spontaneous facial expression.
I will focus on modeling,
and have Natsuki take care of me in Tokyo!
I came to see you.
Let's light them up together next year.
Come and try my Italian food.
I won't get my hopes up, but I'll go try it.
Move reflectors a bit to stage left,
and raise main camera by 1/3.
Raising now.
Okay.
Please get into position. I'll do some test shots.
Morning!
Good morning.
What color temperature are you using?
I set it to 5000K.
Okay.
All right, shall we get started?
Let's do it.
Marinated mushrooms and paprika is ready!
Beef tagliata for Table 7.
Take these out.
Prepare marinated dishes before they're ordered.
Si.
Antipasto for Table 3.
Get berry gelatos.
Si.
Risotto for Table 9 is almost ready!
Asahi.
Yes?
Create an A3-sized contact sheet.
Got it.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
Hello?
Oh, hello?
You still alive?
I'm dead.
Are you really?!
You busy?
I'm swamped!
But you still pick up my call.
It's nothing important anyway, right?
Well... I have something important to report.
What is it?
Actually...
I'll be going to Tokyo for business!
I see.
Is that all you have to say?! I don't feel welcomed!
Why would a seaweed shop send people to Tokyo?
Local food exhibits are trending right now!
Then sell like crazy. See ya.
Wait, wait, wait!
What is it?
Well... is Natsuki doing well?
I don't know.
I thought you guys would be meeting up.
I haven't contacted anyone yet.
How come?
I was busy with work, so I didn't have the time to contact them.
Geez, you're hopeless without me.
Shut up. See ya.
Whoa, wait!
I can't believe summer is over already.
It feels like a lot has happened, though.
That's what you think, but nothing has changed in reality.
Speak for yourself!
So many things happened to all of us,
except you're in the exactly same position. It's actually kind of amazing.
I've perfected the stable swing!
You always make a fuss about how hot Natsuki and Aoi are,
but you never do anything about it.
There was a phase when I thought you were just a little cute if I squinted really hard,
It was an era of chaos and confusion.
Wanna get slapped?
You already did...
Takashi has always been someone who cared too much about those around him.
Yeah, he's a born organizer.
Yeah, organizers of events are satisfied if everyone's having a good time, even if he doesn't get any action.
That part of you is sort of like Kenji in the past.
Really? - Yeah!
He's nothing like me!
You didn't have to deny so strongly about it!
Everyone in the Tokyo Group are busy.
Wouldn't you feel empty if we can't meet anymore once we've gone to Tokyo?
But Aoi is staying with Natsuki, right?
Well, that's an exception.
Hanae, aren't you in contact with Hikaru?
Nope.
How come?
Because I'm busy studying for the certificate.
You can't be that busy.
I'm sure he's busy, too.
You're going to Tokyo for business, right?
Then go see how everyone's doing.
I'm going there for work!
Well yeah, but it's half for fun, right?
No, you have the wrong idea about my job.
I'm home!
Welcome back.
How were your auditions?
Failed all of them, again.
Seriously? Well, you'll pass next time.
Successful models are just so beautiful.
Listen, if you're losing mentally, then you have no chance in this world of survival of the fittest.
Got it? Answer me.
Okay...
It would save me a lot of trouble if Asahi just used me as the model.
Does he have the power to do that?
Ask him for me.
Why me?
Wait, are you not in contact with him?
Well, I'm busy and maybe he's busy...
Tell him how you feel over the phone now!
Are you stupid? Why would I do that?
You do like him, don't you?
Aoi, I'm tired from work, so can give it a rest?
Hey Natsuki,
you strike me as a very assertive person when it comes to work,
but you're hopeless when it comes to romance.
Hanae and I worked together to tie up the loose ends,
so don't go untying everything all by yourself.
I'm not hopeless...
I won't get my hopes up, but I'll go try it.
I won't get my hopes up, but I'll wait for your visit.
Asahi.
Sudou here wants you to shoot for Suit Garage's web photos.
I was wondering if you'd like to try.
Yes, I would love to.
Shooting is in 2 days.
Come up with a plan until then.
I will.
Thank you.
Sudou I finally hit under 80 strokes few days ago...
Really?
Two weeks were about to pass since I left for Tokyo.
As time flew us by,
the feelings we suppressed started to show signs of life again.
Those feelings eventually became too strong to be held back,
What's wrong?
and broke loose in Tokyo's night sky.
Thank you.
Get your faces together.
There we go.
Turn on one of the backlights.
Please relax, you two.
On the night we took a new step toward our future,
what came pouring over our head,
just like a downpour on one of those evenings,
was a whimsical shower of rain.
Translated by 8thSin
I knew you were up to something
Just because we were alone on the beach after the last firework,
you ran along the rushing waves and started swimming with your T-shirt on
Spotlight from the lighthouse shined down on your tiny shoulders every five seconds
Even God won't find out that we're on the other side of the Earth
We're just kids having too much fun in the summer
Our chests touched, fingers intertwined
Take a look at the bright new morning
Now it's just two of us walking together
Let's see what the future has in store for us
and embrace everything, even at the very moment our feelings break apart
Cut!
Let's move.
Are we using rails for the next scene?
Okay.
We're using rails for the next cut!
Excuse me.
What a surprise!
What's up, Hikaru? Look how hard you're working.
How did you find me?
I went to your company,
and they told me when I said I'm your older brother.
Oh, Your dad told me to bring these dried fish.
Thank you.
How is it going on your end?
It's the same old.
I guess the only thing that changed is that Hanae is studying hard to get the home care certification.
I think she's influenced by you.
Uh... can you apologize to Hanae for me?
Why?
Just tell her and she'll know.
Why don't you just call her yourself and apologize?
I should, but...
Hey, Kirihata!
Come here for a sec.
Okay.
Sorry, I gotta go. Send her my regards.
Coming!
Sheesh, I guess I have no choice.
We should be safe now.
Yes.
Kiyoko's brother?!
Give me back my sister, and stay away from her from now on.
It's over, Haruo. We have to give up.
I...
...will never give up on you.
Your paths were never meant to converge.
If we were never meant to converge,
then we just have to buy more red strings of fate for extension!
I'm sorry to inform you that I already bought all red strings of fate.
There's none left for you two.
Then we'll just use white strings!
White strings?
I'll just use my infinite passion for Kiyoko,
and dye ordinary white strings into red strings of fate!
Haruo...
Even her brother can't turn our red strings of fate back into white strings!
It's not possible!
I understand very well now that your strings of fate can't be severed.
Ricky...
Instead, our ties as family is severed as of today.
See ya.
Wait... Brother!
You can't do that, sir...
Shut up!
Are you okay, Haruo?
I'm fine as long as I'm with you.
What do you want?
When do you finish work today?
Why do you ask?
I'm in my girl's home in Tokyo right now. You should come.
You don't have a girl in Tokyo!
I'll text you the address, so get over here ASAP on an express train!
Huh? He's coming?
I'm here. How can he not?
And since Natsuki is here too, he'll definitely come!
Do you really think he'll come?
What?!
Hey, are you making something?
If more people are showing up,
then we won't have enough hors d'oeuvres.
She only prepared junk food for me. What's with the special treatment?
You can't blame her.
It's love that drives a woman to cook.
He's here!
Welcome!
Long time no see.
Long time no see. Come in.
Coming right in.
Hi there, Asahi.
Hey, how have you been?
Good.
Didn't you think of bringing something?
I could've bought something if you told me.
I have to tell you?
Hey, you're late!
You doing good? Huh?!
Stop it!
We're out of booze. I'll go buy some.
Wait! How about we decide by rock-paper-scissors?
You drank the most, so you should go.
Takaashi drank lots,
But Aooi and Natsuuki drank lots, too.
Seaweed guy, hurry and go.
Rock-paper... Huh?
You lose if you don't play, rock-paper...
Hey...
Are you mad about something?
Not really.
You didn't have to come if you dreaded it so much.
It's not like that. I'm just a little pissed at Takashi.
Why?
Never mind.
You gotta finish explaining!
I actually decided...
Yeah?
The next time I see you, it'll be when I visit your restaurant.
I promised back in the town that I would go for a meal.
Oh...
You actually remembered.
How could I forget?
Well, I was wondering why you didn't visit at all, even though you promised.
I decided to visit your restaurant when I get paid to shoot photos.
Who knows how long that's going to take?
I got selected today.
Seriously?
I'll be shooting in two days.
Really? That's great!
Serious? Awesome!
Thanks, thanks, thanks.
That's why I'm even more annoyed at how bad Takashi's timing was.
But thanks to Takashi,
we all got together to drink tonight.
You should be more thankful to him.
Where's my answer?
Yes.
Let's go.
Hurry!
You're too slow!
Oh, there's something I've been meaning to ask you.
Ask me anything. I'll answer everything.
You weren't interested in me at all,
yet you pretended to be, right?
Huh? Why would I do that?
I've been talking about it with Natsuki,
but I think you play the bad guy on purpose,
just to introduce new people to your group of friends.
Why are you suddenly complimenting me?
It's not a compliment.
Oh, you're not...
It's just that I was amazed that there's someone who likes self-sacrifice even more than me.
But well...
it's way harder for you than it is for me, right?
What makes you say that?
After what happened to Hikaru...
you're still supporting Hanae, as if nothing happened.
I think it's really amazing.
Huh?
How did you know that?
Doon't underestimaate Takaashi.
Yeah, I know...
Oh, they're back.
I'll go surprise them.
Seriously?
...so I was working,
and they said "your brother is here"!
But I don't have a brother.
So I thought maybe it was a stalker or something, but then this guy showed up!
But you looked pretty happy when you realized it was me!
I was just relieved because it wasn't some creep.
Anyway, I was surprised at how nice your restaurant was.
You can't tell the difference in taste anyway, right?
He actually only drank water.
Yep!
You didn't eat anything?
Yep!
You're such a bad customer.
When you're at my level,
I only need to look at the prices on menu to tell if it's good or not. There's no need to eat.
I guess it's a bit too pricey for a working class citizen such as yourself.
I had money, okay?
Did you know Asaahi will come for a meal?
Really? Asaahi? Asaahi?
Stop saying that.
Asaahi says he is gooing to oopen many expensiive wines.
I didn't say I'll be drinking.
A real man would drink!
Well, I'll drink if you make food so good that it makes me want to drink.
He said it. Don't forget you said that.
Did you just say that you'll drink a lot if the food is good?
Are you that confident?
I wouldn't say that if I wasn't.
Fine.
Don't make me worry about you over here, too.
What?
I'm talking about Natsuki.
Why didn't you go visit her in the restaurant yet?
Thanks to you, I ended up only drinking water even though I went to have a meal.
Why didn't you just order something?
If I actually ordered,
you would seriously complain about me eating there before you did.
I wouldn't.
You definitely would.
How many years do you think I've known you?
In fact,
you should hurry and find your next girlfriend.
You're the one to talk.
There's an order to everything in this world.
Don't use me as an excuse.
I'm certain that Natsuki is the one for you.
I know that much.
How many years do you think I've known you?
Did something good happen?
No, not really.
I need to discuss something with you.
Can you stay after work?
Yes. Okay.
Oh, it's upside down.
Asahi said we can eat this together.
Thanks. I'll go make some tea.
Thank you.
So how's Asahi?
Was he doing well?
Yes, he is.
Looks like they're going to let him shoot some photos.
- Really?!
Oh, really?
Hey, did he get me any souvenirs?
Why are you even here?
I'm thinking of becoming a cameraman, too.
You, a cameraman?
I'm the only one who can fill the void left by Asahi, right?
You'll just expand the void, so give it up.
Can you even graduate from high school before coming a cameraman?
Well, my grades are bad, just like my sister.
That sister of yours is studying really hard right now.
Right. She's trying to get the home care certification?
Tokyo was a scary place!
Hey!
Look at this! All I had to do was try!
Certificate of Completion: Nursing Care Professional Training Program
Souvenirs for you and Secchan.
Oh, thanks.
Why are you ignoring me?
I got a message from Hikaru.
What did he say?
He asked me to apologize for him.
He said you'd know what it's about.
I'll go pass my souvenirs to Shou.
Say hi to him for me.
Got it.
He didn't have to ignore me.
He was trying to be considerate.
- Huh?
You should report getting the certificate to Hikaru first, not Takashi!
You should go see him.
Actually...
I've been thinking of starting my own restaurant, and I'll probably quit here before end of the year.
Oh, I didn't know.
As for the next head chef of the restaurant...
I want to recommend you to the owner. How about it?
Me?
Are you sure I'm qualified?
One of the reasons we hired you was your potential to eventually become my successor.
After all, you have proven experience as Rosso Nelo's manager.
Thank you very much.
Can I just ask you one thing?
Why did you quit Rosso Nelo, when you were promoted all the way to manager?
Not to mention the next place you worked was a beach food stand.
What happened?
Actually, I had a fiancé... 3 months ago.
Is that why?
No, he said I didn't have to quit,
but I wanted to focus on one thing,
so I quit to concentrate on being a housewife.
So what happened with him?
He ran on me right before the ceremony, and the wedding was called off.
I'm sorry to remind you of a bitter memory.
Not at all!
Good.
There was a delivery today...
Oh, thanks.
"Newlyweds! Support for new life campaign!" To: Furuyama Natsuki
What's this last name, "Furuyama"?
Your last name is Chiyohara, right?
You now how my fiancé ran on me?
Yes, I've heard about it.
I still get mails I registered with his last name.
It's rather annoying.
Want it? It's yours.
Did you register your marriage?
No, I was going to do it after the wedding.
Well, at least I didn't get a divorce.
But wouldn't these letters remind you of him?
Not in the slightest.
Thanks to spending my summer with all of you guys,
I was able to forget about the whole thing.
But now that you're back in Tokyo,
there's a chance you'll run into him.
If I see him, I'll punch him in the face, and that's it.
Is that how it is?
There's nothing to be gained by dwelling over him, after all,.
Why are you here?
I thought you probably forgot the umbrella today.
So you came all the way here?
I'm very good at waiting in the rain.
I'm sorry.
Here.
Let's go!
Wow it's pouring! It's insane.
Let's twist your body a little bit.
Okay.
Good.
Very nice.
Good.
What do you think?
Not bad at all.
We might ask you to take some more photos in the future.
Really?
It'll be cheaper than asking Hasegawa here, too!
Thank you very much.
That's the reason, Sudou?
I'm kidding.
It's over.
You're late! It's already morning!
Why are you here?
How many hours were you going to make me wait?
Wait... I didn't know you would come...
Hey...
Why did you ask him to apologize for you?
Your apology isn't going to solve the problem!
I ended up thinking about you the whole time because you never contacted me, you know?
Why are you laughing?
You're not allowed to laugh at me.
I got a home helper certificate.
It's a fundamentals course though.
No way.
Congratulations.
That's all I wanted to tell you. See ya.
Wait... is that all?
Yeah, you have a problem with that?
No, not at all.
Okay... go home and get some sleep.
Hey...
Wanna come in?
No, thanks.
You're planning of doing something to me, aren't you?
No!
The first train is already running now.
Then... let's have dinner tonight.
Don't you have to work?
No, I have time tonight.
Let's celebrate...
for getting your certificate.
Okay, there's a restaurant I want to visit.
Whoa,
What's wrong?
I'm sorry.
The name of someone I know was on the list.
Which one?
Guest of 1: Mikuriya
This one.
Guest of one?
Remember when I talked about the reason why I worked in a beach food stand...
Oh! That "someone you care about"?
Yes.
Wait, did I say that?
Okay, you come up with all the diinner courses for tonight.
You will eventually end up doing it.
Think of it as a rehearsal.
Thank you.
Welcome. I am Kageyama, the head chef here.
Nice to meet you.
I hear you're Chiyohara's friend.
Yes.
I will have Chiyohara make everything for you tonight,
so please enjoy.
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
Haven't seen you in a while.
Why are you two here?
Hanae got the home care certificate, so we're here to celebrate.
Congrats.
Thanks.
Would you like to sit together?
No, we'll sit in different tables.
Why don't we eat together?
But don't you two want to talk in private?
We might as well eat together.
You'll feel lonely drinking wine by yourself.
It's none of your business.
Mushroom pasta for Table 5 is ready!
Si.
What do you think?
Can you add more rum in it?
Understood.
Chiyohara!
You have more guests.
Hanae!
Kirihata?
It's on the list, right?
There it is.
Who would've thought Hikaru's last name would be Kirihata?
I got the certificate, so he wanted to celebrate the occasion.
I wanted to see you, too.
Well, I'm sure that was just an extra.
No! I really wanted to see you!
Really?
Yeah!
Okay, wait for me to cook you something really nice.
Okay, I'll look forward to it.
All right.
About Hanae...
I will bring her happiness.
Are you all right with that?
Yes.
I'm counting on you.
I'm... sorry for everything.
Why do you both look so tense?
We're not used to coming to places like this.
We're sort of nervous.
We just have to drink at times like this.
Cheers!
Cheers.
It's so good!
Yeah, delicious.
What do you think, Asahi?
You haven't said a word for a while.
I'm beginning to realize I've done something incredible.
What is it?
I asked her to help out at Aoyama, right?
Pretty aggressively, too.
If I knew she could make such delicious food...
I doubt I could've asked her.
It was such a miraculous event.
Natsuki coming to our town, I mean.
Yeah.
When I'm eating a meal with Asahi and Hikaru,
it makes me forget I'm in Tokyo.
Do we have restaurants like this in our town?
No, we don't.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for the wonderful meal.
You're welcome.
You still can't go home yet?
Yeah, I still have to prepare for tomorrow.
I see... then we'll get going.
Thank you for the meal.
Bye.
Wait...
It was seriously good.
That's good to hear.
It was so good, I almost fainted.
Are you stupid?
I'll come visit again.
Will you really?
Really.
Okay.
Thanks for coming.
Thank you.
Then... good luck with work.
You too.
Bye.
Are you really okay with it?
With what?
Not staying behind?
She still had to work.
Natsuki must have wanted to talk about things, too.
Actually... go on ahead.
I'll stop by a convenience store.
Say hi to Natsuki for me.
It's going to rain.
What's with that look?
You don't believe me at all, do you?
The forecast didn't say it'll rain.
What is it?
I'll forgive you even if you can't tell it's going to rain.
What's that supposed to mean?
Let's go.
Hold that side.
Okay.
Are you inside?
Yeah.
It's raining pretty hard.
Yeah.
Run for it?
Run!
Why are you...
I thought I'd compliment your cooking some more.
Why do you have such a scary look on your face?
I was going to go home, but I thought you probably didn't bring an umbrella.
I'll walk you to the station.
Thanks.
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry...
What's the matter?
You came all the way here...
but I can't stop thinking about my fiancé.
He waited outside the restaurant for me this one time, like you did earlier.
On a rainy day like this.
You still can't forget about him?
No, it's nothing like that, but...
maybe I'm a bit scared.
Scared?
Maybe I'm thinking...
moments like these aren't meant to last.
I'm really glad to have met you, Asahi.
If I didn't,
I'm probably in a far worse shape than I am now.
You've turned me into such a positive person.
I'm really thankful for it.
Thank you so much.
That's why...
I want to be with you, keep being with you...
But I...
Finale
I'm scared of losing the person I love again.
I want you to find happiness.
It just wasn't meant to be.
I haven't given up about you, Natsuki.
Let's be together forever.
