Dad! Dad!
Dad!
April 7, 2007. I met a strange man.
I don't have much longer.
April 7, 2007. I met a strange man.
I'm sorry.
Making things tough for you.
It's not time to worry about me.
You always need to worry about your children.
That's what parents do.
But I'm not just worried about you.
I'm worried about you and Kanako-san.
Hello. Sorry for not calling earlier.
No, it's fine.
I don't think I can make it home.
Are you still at your father's?
Yeah, I don't think I can see you today.
Okay.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
No, I'm already on the way home anyway.
I see. Well, I'll make sure to free next time.
- Sure. - See you.
See you.
Ah, I see.
You don't have to worry about us.
Take care. Okay.
Haru's father collapsed.
Really?
- Is he okay? - Yeah.
He's not in the hospital, he's recovering at home.
So then it's not too bad, right?
Actually, it could be pretty bad...
Don't say such an unlucky thing!
But it's happened before.
Maybe he should make some preparations.
Anyway, Haru is off today. I'm sorry everyone but...
Haru-san...
Haru-san's work.
Let's all divide it up and help each other.
- Let's go. - Yeah.
Hey hey, it's this afternoon. Not time for bed yet.
What are you saying? You're sick.
Hey you. What do you
think you came back here for?
- Huh? - Sleep at night, wake up, eat,
watch baseball and have some beer.
- Hey. - Hmm, ah.
We'll cut down on the beer. Can't be helped.
We shouldn't change things up too much.
Well, as best as we can.
I just want to keep things normal.
Ah, got it.
So then if you do, get to work.
I said I was taking today off.
You don't get it at all.
Having you sit around here all afternoon,
that's not normal!
- Come on, get to work. - Okay, I'm going.
- If anything happens, call right away. - Sure.
Huh?
- Haru-san. - Hey.
Aren't you off today?
I thought I was too.
Is it okay to leave your father?
It's okay. Thanks for your concern.
But could I leave a bit early today?
- Oh, of course, sure. - Thank you.
I'll work to the usual ending time then.
- Don't overdo it. - Of course.
Okay, I'm going to change.
- A diary? - Yes.
It's definitely my handwriting.
Do you feel anything when you read it?
I haven't really had a chance yet.
It's a little scary.
If I hear stories from other people, I can eventually accept it.
But the diary is full of my own words.
I'm a little scared to read it.
Well, it's passing work.
Good work for now. I'll take care of the rest.
Yes, thank you.
- Masuyama-san. - Yes?
Can you make ten copies of this?
Okay, got it.
Tanimura.
- A moment. - Yes.
An inspection?
Well, it's not that formal. The first store for Spray Mobile.
Could you put together a report on how it looks?
Yes, understood.
Bring a girlfriend or some friend.
We need female opinions on this.
- I'm counting on you. - Yes.
- Hello? - Hey, doing all right?
What? I'm fine.
Don't sound so annoyed.
I'm not annoyed.
- What's up? - Hmm, well.
I was just wondering how you're doing.
- How did it go? - Ah.
I thought I would really talk about things.
You thought?
Well, there's some things going on.
Some things, huh?
Well, it's fine.
Don't have any regrets.
You always try to sound so cool.
I don't need you to think I'm cool.
If you pretend like there's nothing bothering you,
- you're going to feel worse. - Bothering...
I'm a little curious.
But I'm scared to look at it.
What should I do?
Well, if it's something you have to look at, you have no choice.
Well, if it's so scary,
isn't there someone you could look at it with?

They pay you to do this? I'm so jealous.
Ooh, this is good!
Maybe I asked the wrong person to come.
Maybe you should've taken your girlfriend then.
I wanted to get the opinion of a regular girl not affiliated with the company.
Oh, a workplace romance huh?
What about you?
What happened with Haru-san?
I'm fine.
- What does that mean? - Haru-san
said I was his best pupil.
- Here. - Oh, thanks.
Are you going to stay here every night?
That's the plan.
Until I die?
Until you get better.
Don't hope for a miracle.
There's always that miracle home run in the bottom of the ninth.
That's rude to Ogata.
Who's Ogata?
1997 I think.
Hanshin had a 3 run lead in the bottom of the ninth.
- Oh, Ogata from the Carp's? - Yeah.
Two outs. Bases loaded. Ogata up to bat.
Took care of that 3 run lead.
A walk off home run. So impressive.
Like I said, a miracle.
- It's no miracle. - Huh?
It was skill and experience.
You build that up long enough, you get results.
You can't just dismiss that as a miracle.
- Yeah. - I see.
There it is.
What should I write?
Well, first off...
Happy New Year.
August 10, 1992.
Went bowling with Mayu and Mikie.
Mio said during club...
Isn't that our senior on a date over there?
Backstabber!
But I'm a little jealous.
July 12, 2000.
Went to the hospital after work.
Those flowers that Yuri brought over when visiting my father,
he dropped them on his new clothes.
Said the flowers were hard to hold.
Dad can be so stupid.
Yuuki-kun, feel free to invite me anytime for free food and drinks.
Won't be doing that again.
- Man, so stingy! - Stingy?
Stingy stingy!
Ah, it was good.
You're pretty happy for being rejected.
- I said... - That's what happened, right?
He doesn't see you as that kind of woman.
Yeah, that's the case but...
I don't feel like I was rejected.
I don't get it.
Hmm, how could I put it.
I was happy to hear he called me his best pupil.
Haru-san.
He really recognized who I was.
I was very happy.
That's enough for me.
That's what I think.
Welcome. Oh, you two.
Oh, Rikki.
- Your new boyfriend? - Huh?
- I broke up with that guy! - Oh, really?
Then, the new new boyfriend!
- You're Kanako-san's younger brother, right? - Yeah.
Ah, how are you two connected?
Like he said, my boss's wife's brother.
- That's it? - That's it!
Hasu didn't come today?
Said he only drinks on weekends now.
That's rare for him to say.
After he heard about Haru-san's father.
I think he's really focusing on his health now.
- Ah. - Haru-san's father?
What happened?
Huh?
I heard he's not doing well. I don't know the details though.
- Which hospital? - He's at home.
- He's not at the hospital? - Seems like that.
Sis, maybe you should go visit?
Huh?
Haru-san is staying at the house I think.
I see.
Night.
- Night. - Night.
What?
Nothing.
Lift it up.
- Stop. - Katsura.
Sorry, but I'm going to head out now.
- Okay. Good work today. - Good work.
I'll help too.
Okay, you can peel the carrots.
- Sure? - Yeah.
What are you looking for?
You know, that thing to peel carrots with.
You can't just do it with a knife?
Yeah, I could.
Ah, I'll do it!
Why? I can do this.
- That's dangerous! - I'm fine!
Kanako, focus on your stuff.
Okay then.
- Ow! - I said so!
Stupid.
Oh man, it really got dark.
- It's your fault. - Sorry.
I could probably have three or four drinks tonight.
I thought you only drank on weekends now?
- Ah. - Hey, welcome back.
We're back.
Ah, I think I'll pass today.
What can I do?
Ah, thanks.
I'm not looking for any thanks.
Well, boring to drink alone.
I'll work on the valves.
Let me get some things from the locker.
- I'll treat you next time. - It's fine.
What? It's going to be my treat!
-It's fine - I'll do it.
- Lucky. - Nice.
When?
Oh, this looks good.
This is really really good.
- Did you already eat some? - Yeah, sorry.
He's got really bad manners, right?
- Ah. - It is good!
What did you just say before? We didn't even say let's eat yet.
Oh? We didn't?
Of course not. Are you joking?
Don't say that to someone at my age.
- Let's eat. - Let's eat.
Kanako-san, if you don't get in here, it'll all be gone.
Right. Let's eat.
Ah, this is good.
Haha, Dad seemed happy.
- Yeah. - Thanks for coming out.
No. Could I come by again sometime?
Sure.
Sorry. It's a bit selfish, huh?
No no, I think he'll be happy.
Thank you.
The divorce papers.
I haven't filled them out yet.
Could we keep things as they are?
Right now...
For your father.
Right now, it's...
Yeah.
- I'm back. - Welcome home.
How's Haru-san's father doing?
It doesn't look too good.
- But he was doing well today. - I see.
It was a little nostalgic.
Kind of like when we ate with Dad.
Hmm.
Or maybe it was because I
was eating with my husband again?
But...
I'm glad I went.
Good work today.
Good work.
Good work today.
- Good work! - Good work.
All right!
Oh, that actually looks good on you.
You never got rid of it?
He was pretty cool back in the day.
- Let's go. - It's time to help Haru!
- Everyone do your best. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
Haru, everyone was worried about you.
Thank you!
It's very moving.
I'll put in some overtime today!
Okay! Let's do it!
Let's go!
Five people is a bit much.
You're right.
- We won't need you today. - See you.
What are you saying! It's been a long time since I put this on.
Take it off before you get it dirty.
- Come on! - Don't worry about it.
Don't say that!
Dad, is my bike key over there?
Huh?
- Here. - Thank you.
- I'm heading out then. - See you.
If you drink beer Mom is going to get angry.
Okay.
We're having a picture book reading this Sunday.
It's the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Please come!
I made this poster.
- Hmm... - We did!
- One please. - And thank you?
Thank you!
Please come to the reading.
Could we get this one soon?
I wonder. I'll look into it.
- Some tea. - Not helpful at all.
- Okay, stop. - Okay.
Good, nice and easy.
- Okay, stop. - Okay.
- I'll head out first. - Okay.
Hey.
Do you have some time after work?
- Huh? - I want to talk about things.
- Let's talk next time. - Huh?
You have to work late tonight right? Good luck.
To Haru.
When the time comes,
please reach out to all those who've helped me.
Nishizono Atsuko
Atsuko-san.
- Yes. - Could you take care of this?
Okay, got it.
How are the geraniums?
I...
I don't have much longer.
Before I tell him,
I want to make sure
there's somewhere else for him to go.
- What is it now? - Just come on.
You don't have any customers come anyway.
- I'm going back. - Sorry!
It'll be quick! Your soba is the best!
Ah, you're here.
- Brought him over. - Hello.
You finally fixed it?
I think so, but this is the final test.
Please.
- There! - All right!
The job's done.
Thanks for waiting.
No, I'm impressed.
Good work.
Maybe you'd want to borrow it again?
- Huh? - Have you been on a drive recently?
With your wife.
Stupid!
What?
No no, thank you very much.
No, thank you.
- That's why you don't have customers. - Has nothing to do with that!
So much free time.
- Hmm? - I'm bored.
Just home every day.
When's Kanako-san coming by again?
Isn't it fine to have a routine?
A routine and boredom are different things.
Well okay, I'm off tomorrow. Want to go somewhere?
- Let's keep up the routine. - Huh?
I'm the one who should take you out.
It's nice for a kid to do something for his parent now and then.
Haha, I never thought I'd hear that from you.
You were always following right behind me.
That's such an old story! Now you bring it up?
I used to see you right behind me.
Now, you're ahead of me.
So strange.
I don't know where my path goes now.
It'll make things a bit harder for you.
Anyway, just having you is enough for me as a father.
I'm going to sleep.
Kanako
Ah, hello.
Sorry to call so late.
Are you off tomorrow?
If you don't feel well, just say so.
I feel great.
With Kanako-san next to me, I feel even better.
Where are we going?
Where should we go?
- You haven't decided? - Nope.
- The sea. - Huh?
It's always there if you get lost.
- Did you just come up with that now? - Yes.
Okay then, the sea.
Yeah, the sea was a great choice.
- Feels nice. - Yeah.
Very nice.
- Dad, sit down here. - Oh? Okay.
- I'll get your coat. - Ah, thanks.
Thanks Kanako-san.
No, thank you.
Today was fun.
I don't want there to be any misunderstandings.
I'm not asking you to reconsider the divorce.
Or to start living with Haru again.
That's not what I want to say.
But, what I
do want to say is,
thanks for being like
family to Haru.
That's...
Even if you don't remember
you're still who you are.
What are you two talking about?
When you were small and would stand in front of the temple,
but still never had any luck.
I think the gods finally forgave me.
- Here. - Thanks.
I'm going to rest in the car for a bit.
What? Why did I bring that over here then?
It's fine. We came out all this way.
Enjoy the sea for a bit longer.
- Let's sit? - Yeah.
The diaries...
I wrote some diaries, right?
Huh?
I saw them. In the boxes.
Ah...
Sorry.
I read your diaries.
You did?
Sorry!
It's no...
Did I write anything strange?
I haven't read it yet.
I opened it a little, but I couldn't read it.
How embarrassing.
I started because of my dad.
Huh?
I've always been a big reader.
I think that's why I'm not too good at talking.
So then my dad said,
"If it's hard to talk,
how about writing?"
So I started.
I see.
So then...
Well, I didn't mean to but...
After my dad passed away,
I stopped writing.
You did?
But...
That day I met you, I started writing again.
You had a lot of things you couldn't say, right?
Things you couldn't ask me.
I wonder about that.
I had a reason for
starting my diary back then.
But in the middle, I just wrote about random things,
but I still kept them safe.
That's what was in there.
Maybe these diaries are the same?
Next time...
I don't think I can do it right away but...
Someday,
I'd like to read over
the last five years.
Okay.
Yeah.
Chief, good morning.
- Sorry to call you in on a Sunday. - No problem.
- What's up? - Ah.
Well, first, take a seat.
- Here. - Okay.
I'm nervous.
This is scary, Chief. What's going on?
Ah sorry. To be honest,
I want you to take over here.
Huh?
Not right away, of course.
But someday.
I just want to make sure everything is taken care of.
I've been watching you guys lately.
I want to leave this behind for you all.
Are you sure I'm right for it?
There's no one but you.
Well, think about it.
Thank you very much. I will.
Pied Piper of Hamelin
It's almost time for the reading.
I hope we got a lot of people
- with all that advertising. - Yeah.
Okay, everyone gather up.
We're starting the
Pied Piper of Hamelin soon.
All right! We did it!
- Kanako-san, it's time. - Okay.
Okay, let's get started.
Yay!
Is your boss really making the right choice?
Leaving his company to someone as easy going as you?
He said I was the one for it.
I see.
I had you pegged for a baseball player.
I guess I was wrong. Haha.
It's been awhile.
Should we play some catch ball?
Okay, I'll get the glove and ball then.
Thanks.
There it is.
Found it. Glove was in the storage room.
And the swallows...
