I'd like to quit as your bodyguard.
Working at an Observatory has been my dream for many years.
Yuna?
Today we had a break from filming.
I came to try out that Hot Spring...
How dare you kidnap Yuna?!
Go for it, Uncle Takanabe!
When the sun sets, it'll get cold.
Hurry on home.
Thank you.
Thanks for staying at my side all this time.
Later.
It's amazing.
As expected of Japan's largest automated telescope.
My dream has been to find and name a new star,
and it seems like a possibility here.
Then, you won't mind living up in these secluded hills alone?
Of course.
If I can study the stars, I can withstand any lifestyle.
I understand.
I'm looking forward to the day when we'll work together.
Me too.
Kouhei.
Oh, Kuma.
Geez, stop calling me Kuma.
I have a proper name, Kumada Kozue.
Geez, I've always asked you to call me Kozue.
Kuma is just easier.
Well, how did it go? Any luck?
He said he's looking forward to working with me.
That's great.
Oh, that's right. You haven't eaten yet, right?
Want to eat together?
There is a great Soba place nearby.
You like soba right?
Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush.
My sister and her kids are waiting back home.
I see.
As expected.
That's right. Let's watch the Gemini constellation together!
Yeah, I'm sure the stars would look great from here.
Yeah, its the best.
Best of all, Andromeda can be seen extremely clearly by eye.
Last time, I saw 50 constellations within a range of one hour.
50?
That's crazy.
Right?
Ah, the hot springs nearby are famous, right?
Hot springs?
Ah. They aren't open anymore.
Is that so?
Something wrong?
No, nothing major.
Then be careful on your way down.
Let me know when you decide to move up.
I'll help you get setup.
Yeah, see you soon.
She left, right?

Oppa~ Fansubs Presents, My 99 Days with a Star!
Excuse me.
Yes?
Can I take a train to Tokyo from here?
Tokyo?
It'll be 2 hours until the next train.
2 hours?
2 hours.
Then I can't leave immediately.
Yes?
Nearby there is a field known as Miyuki Fields.
It feels like the stars are raining down on you, if you watch them there.
I'd love to show them to you someday.
What does he mean, "I'd love to show them to you."?!
Excuse me, are there any taxis here?
Huh?
Are there any taxis?!
There aren't any taxis.
Oh, is that so?
Where can I find Miyuki Fields?
That hill.
Uncle Takanabe!
We're here in stealth mode.
So you can't say my name out loud here.
Yes sir.
But, why do you believe Yuna went somewhere with Kouhei?
That is because I was secretly informed.
Could it be that you have connections in the FBI and CIA?!
It's a rule that I can't reveal my sources.
Amazing.
It's amazing, right?
If you understand, then hurry and eat that udon.
You two want to stop Kouhei too, right?
Hurry.
Yes sir!
Still, looks like my "FBI" does a good job once in a while.
No, its all because of how much you helped.
I got an unexpected vacation.
Yes.
But it's no good.
I was wrong.
I'll leave this message for our manager.
You can take a break and do what you want.
Yuna has run away from home.
Eh? She ran away from home?
Huh? Ran away?!
I mixed up "Left home" with "Left a letter".
Ah, no worries. No worries.
Don't worry about it.
More importantly,
after this, lets go to the Ishidan trail.
Sure!
The air sure is fresh out here!
Guess I'll eat this lunchbox.
What is this?
Pretty cute.
Thanks for the food.
It's salty.
It's Namiki.
Why did you suddenly call?
You...
Sorry that I've caused you trouble.
No worries.
I do everything for Yuna's sake.
Still, I'd like to express my thanks
for protecting my sister.
Furthermore, I know its ridiculous for me to ask a favor, but...
Would you take a look at her dance routine?
Eh?!
Just once is fine. Please.
Thanks for the meal.
Looks like I ate too much.
Kouhei!
Sumire!
Ren!
Fried Tofu?!
Shut up Kouhei!
Where is Yuna?
I won't let you two run away together!
Run away?
So, her running away, was a misunderstanding?
Obviously.
Why would we run away together? Makes no sense.
Perfect, give me a ride to Tokyo.
Hey, she really didn't, right?
She said something about going to a hot spring... and left a lunchbox...
Either way, that hot spring went bust, so I'm guessing she went home.
Lets go to the train station first.
We can ask whether they saw her leave.
That's right.
Alright, I got it.
We'll check whether what you're saying is the truth or not.
Alright, lets go to the station.
Yes sir!
Once more.
Huh?
Once more.
Yes ma'am.
Train manager.
Train manager, have you seen any amazingly beautiful people off late?
Huh?
She was wearing a black coat and boots...
Her height was around 165 cm.
There was!
There was?
When? When was it?
Eh, it was around 2 hours ago.
I told her it would take 2 hours until the next train, and she left.
Where to?
I don't know.
Good afternoon.
They're all delicious.
I'll take one.
Where did she go?
Kouhei, this is a competition.
Eh?
Who will find Yuna first?
Stop being an idiot, and hurry...
I think this might be a puzzle left behind by Yuna.
Eh?
"Someone come and try to find me,"... or something?
"and I'll be yours forever!"... or something?
I don't think she has that in mind at all.
Still, its more efficient if we split up.
Let's go separately.
That's fine.
What about Sumire and Ren?
EH?!
This way, we'll find her first, and ask her to help convince you.
This is the only path left for us.
They said it.
Later.
Hey, Takanabe.
What?
Why don't you just call her?
Don't you know her number?
I can't.
Eh?
This is only meaningful if we struggle to achieve it.
You can't move someone's heart by taking the easy path.
You two pipsqueaks should keep that in mind.
Let's go.
Suspicious.
I think he really doesn't have it.
Go!!!
Yuna would visit...? Yuna would visit...?
Excuse me.
Ah, I can just call her.
Hello, who is it?
Umm, that cellphone...
Ah, yes! It appears to be a forgotten item of your missing person.
Why would she forget it?
Cious-del!
5 km to Miyuki Fields.
It sure is far.
I'm screwed.
Hometown of the stars.
Could she have?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Have you seen a woman wearing a black coat and boots?
Oh, that person bought some grapes and left.
I knew it.
Thanks.
No problem.
Hey, are you really going to the Miyuki Fields?
Yes?
Bears be showing up over there.
"Bears"?
Like I said, there are bears in the area.
If you get eaten, don't blame me.
"Don't blame me"?
Grapes? Must be her.
Yuna isn't here.
Where did she go?
Ah, its Yuna.
Yuna!
Could you be, Takanabe Yamato?
You're the first person to have said that.
Let's go.
Takanabe Yamato is here!
Run.
Give me your signature.
Takanabe?
Why did he bring kids here?
Once more.
I can't.
I can't do it anymore.
Momo...
What is this? How many times do you plan to make me do this?
This is just bullying, right?
You're just having fun watching me struggle.
If so, then I'm done.
Momo!
Is that all there is to your dream?
You'd quit and leave just because I ask you to repeat a couple steps?
Is that your level of commitment?
If so, then I guess...
You're better off quitting.
Dreaming is a waste of your time.
Feel free to leave.
Excuse me!
Did you see a woman wearing a black striped coat and black boots?
Oh, that one with a strange name?
Yuna!
Oh, that's right. She had that name.
Did she say she was going to Miyuki Fields?
Yeah, I told her to avoid it because of the bears.
Bears?
The bears passing through are usually hungry.
Just recently, a young stargazer was chased by a bear.
Thanks, I got to get going.
Ok. Will you be alright?
Hey, Fried Tofu!
What?
Bears?
You mean, like BEAR bears?
Ok, alright I got it.
Miyuki Fields, right?
Still, Kouhei, you're naive to give your rival such important information.
I won't go easy on you.
Alright, looks like I won this competition.
Woot!
Huh?
Gasoline?
Why didn't you notice?
I can't believe you!
Gasoline?!
It should be coming up soon.
Ah! These are the Miyuki Fields?
Ouch!
Ah, it hurts.
Fried Tofu, what are you doing?
Did he arrive?
Huh?!
You ran out of gas?
You, do something about it.
No, you have to first call Triple A...
Takanabe Yamato can't be caught calling Triple A over running out of gas.
Junkichi, you do something.
Hey, Taka-Takanabe?
What happened?
The food is all delicious.
Sorry, but its an emergency.
You need to kiss me quickly?
It's still too early.
Observatory?
Is that true?
I think he went for an interview today.
Yuna didn't say anything?
Yuna didn't...
Then, what happens to the 99 day promise?
I apologize.
But, come on. Even Cacti have dreams.
I thought I had to cheer him on.
Dream, I see.
Actually, a similar girl showed up at my door today.
Surprisingly, she has some guts.
I changed my opinion of her, if just a little.
What was your dream, teacher?
Becoming famous in academia?
No, I don't know...
Before taking on this job, my dream was...
to become a singer!
~Now...
if my wish were to come true~
~I'd want wings~
~I'd spread my wings and fly off into the big blue sky~
Hey, Tae Sung, grab this.
Sure, I got it.
Wow, its just as Kouhei said.
It really feels like they'd rain down on me.
Huh? A person?
You scared me.
Hey, its a bear!
This way.
Recently, bears have been roaming, so go home soon.
Bears?
W-W-Wait a second.
Yuna?
Kouhei!
What are you doing out here?
Yuna?
Why did you come out here?
What do you mean? It's dangerous coming out here alone.
Kouhei, you aren't my bodyguard anymore.
It's none of your business.
Ah, did Fried T-Takanabe come out this way?
Takanabe?
Why would he?
What is he doing?
Either way, lets head back.
Complaining that I came out here? How would you have gotten back on this leg?
It really is pretty. All you can see is the sky and the stars. It's beautiful.
Shall we stay a little while? We can't see this often.
Ah, but...
Come on, lay down. Looking up like this feels great.
Then just for a bit.
Even if we traveled at the speed of light, those stars would take 10s to 100s of thousands of years
for us to reach them.
From their perspective, our lifespan is minuscule, yet we make such a big deal about them.
Discovering a new star and naming it is huge for me, but in reality its a very small dream.
But I still feel that it would validate my existence.
Your penis isn't small.
I don't think it's small.
Well then it's about time we head back.
Hop on.
Come on. You can't walk right?
Oh yeah, thanks for the lunch box.
Ah, you're welcome.
It had stars and cacti in it. Did you really come all the way out here to eat it yourself?
Huh? Of course. But it became a mess.
Huh? It was absolutely fine.
Really?
Yeah.
Was it good?
Yeah.
Honest it was a bit bland.
"Bland"?
Ah, that means it was good.
Ah, "Bland". That's good.
Kouhei.
Kuma?
Bear?!
Over here.
What's wrong? You said you needed me to get here quickly.
Is this person...
Nice to meet you. I'm Han Yuna.
Right? Wait what?!
I didn't know that you were Han Yuna's bodyguard. That really surprised me.
It's nothing fancy, but feel free to stay at my place tonight.
Sorry to trouble you.
This is your fault. You told me about this place.
You're the one who strolled up here. I told you to go home.
I would have but the train wasn't there.
And you couldn't wait a bit? You have no patience.
How dare you? You damn cactus!
Ok let's get going.
What? They're not here?
Huh?! Tsumire? Ren?
Yay! I scared you! I scared you! Phew, its hot in there.
Mom! What are you doing in that suit?!
And what have you been up to?
I wanted to surprise everyone but you were all gone.
"We went with Uncle Takanabe to go bring Kouhei back."
I've been waiting to surprise you guys for hours.
It's a gift from Russia.
Are you a fool?
So who is this Uncle Takanabe?
We've finally arrived.
Kouhei.
This is the worst.
Huh? Natsume? Why?
Delicious!
Thank you.
Eat lots of it.
This food is really "bland"!
She means its super delicious.
Ah~.
Thank god, right mom?
Ma'am this truly is delicious.
Oh! I was praised by Takanabe.
Ow?! It's not a dream! I'm not dreaming!
Mom.
This is a miracle.
Ma'am. People meeting is a succession of miracles.
Let's toast to the miracle our meeting.
Cheers.
Seriously, I must say that I am surprised to see Takanabe here.
Well you see, these kids just wanted to see Kouhei, so I drove them up here,
But who would have known that you were here too?
Perhaps we were destined to run into each other.
What's wrong, Junkichi? Hmm?
Nothing.
You're not very considerate Uncle Takanabe.
Really? Is that so?
Yeah. People have things they want to do on their days off.
Such as?
A date!
So she's right?
Ah I see. A date.
You secretly got the "Love Love Fire" going.
You're young and have a girlfriend.
I'm jealous.
My daughter is almost 30 and all she cares about are stars.
What?
Something wrong?
Ah well, I was just thinking that you two are similar.
What? You're not married Mr. Namiki?
For now.
Hey, what do you think? How about my daughter?
Stop it Mom.
I have to do this.
It's fine. Really.
Then what happened to that other guy.
That one guy.
Other guy?
It was about 5 or 6 years ago.
There was someone working at the Kiyosato Observatory that she started to like.
Kouhei, weren't you at that observatory?
Yeah.
Could it have been Kouhei?
Silly. It couldn't have been. Right?
Huh? No. No no no.
Not at all.
Eat up.
Is it good?
It is.
Kouhei's a fool. Why didn't he tell me something this important?
Why did he go without saying anything?
I doubt he thought too much about it.
We've lived together for 5 years.
5 years.
Are stars that important? More important than me?
Was he that kind of a man?!
He's a man after all.
Alexander is a fool!
Kouhei is a fool!
Sis.
Mitsy.
The both got rejected.
That forest was known as the "Forest of disappearing souls".
When you go in there as a group, the friends you went in with...
One... after another... as if the darkness had sucked them in, they disappear.
The last person left can't differentiate between the real world or the spirit world and continues wandering...
Until her stumbles on a woman with hair like this...
Hey. You guys scare easily. Right Yuna?
Yes. Tsumire and Ren are fraidy-cats.
But Uncle Takanabe's face was scary.
If this was summer time, we'd totally be doing a courage test.
Courage test?
What is that?
It's a game where everyone goes to a super creepy dark place, and tests who remains the most brave.
Let's do it.
Huh?!
Let's see who has the most guts.
But Yuna, your ankle.
It's alright. I can walk now.
Let's do it. Let's do it.
I'm scared. No, no...
Junkichi.
Yes.
You understand?
Yes.
This will totally work.
Geez! I don't want to act out a monster, this is stupid!
Hijin. You must be lonely right about now.
Hey. Mind if I use the sink?
Sure, go ahead.
Ah! Wait a second.
You can't wash such a nice box that way.
Ah...
First use lukewarm water.
Is that right?
You lied.
Huh?
This lunch box. This is why you turned down my lunch invitation, isn't it?
Yeah.
So you have some one who makes lunch for you.
No. This was just a thank you gift.
It couldn't be... Yuna?
No, there's no way!
Ah, I guess that's right. I wouldn't believe that such a huge star would make this for her bodyguard...
She would.
It's weird. No, I mean it is weird but, she is the type to do crazy and spontaneous things. You can't imagine...
Ah, sorry, sorry.
Hey, you! What are you doing? Come here!
Cactus, test of courage.
Ah, there's a test of courage starting.
I'm going to try.
I'm scared, let's go back.
It's alright. You're following me.
Just don't wander off.
Let's go into the land of the spirits.
What's wrong Yuna?
Is you ankle still hurting?
Ah, It's fine. Let's go.
OK. Let's go.
This forest is known as the "forest of disappearing souls" and if you wander in at night...
...your friends will one by one...
You can go back. ...your friends will one by one...
Huh?
Really?
Quietly.
They disappear as if the darkness had sucked them in.
What will happen to that last one? Ah, we've arrived at the creepiest spot.
Huh? Where are the kids?
What could have happened?
Could it have been...
No no no. This is all just a story that I made up.
Did they run away?
They went back to the house?
Ah, what shall we do now?
It'll be boring with just the two of us.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's test our courage.
Let's go. Let's go! The 2 of us can go.
Alright. Well then Yuna. If you happen to get scared, you can always hold onto me.
Huh?! Yuna? Yuna?
Huh? Yuna?
Come on Takanabe. How can YOU be the one to get scared?!
I have the most guts.
I'm strong.
So, I'll be fine by myself.
I love Yuna.
The contract is 99 days.
So you'll be by my side until Christmas Eve.
You dream isn't small.
I don't think it's small.
So today is the end?
Can't sleep?
When I return to Tokyo I won't be able to see the stars.
Ah, it's amazing, isn't it? It really is like it's raining.
We live in this vast world but we worry about the smallest things.
I think about that every time I look at the stars.
He said the same thing.
Hmm?
You must enjoy your job. I don't understand stars.
Yuna, could it be that you like Kouhei?
Huh? No. It's not like that at all.
Kouhei is very thick-skinned. If you don't say it, he won't pick up on it at all.
As someone with experience, I'm not mistaken.
Experience?
Anyway, don't regret it. I'll be rooting for you.
How do you cheer for someone in Japan?
Cheer?
Yes. Cheer. Like "Do your best."
Ah, Cheer.
I have the most guts. I'll be fine by myself.
I'll be cheering for your dream. May you find your very own star.
Hooray Hooray Kouhei. Hooray Hooray Kouhei.
Yuna could it be that you like Kouhei?
Goodbye, Kouhei.
I truly appreciated the hospitality.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Ma'am.
Thanks Miss.
You're welcome.
I'll treasure these memories.
Thank you so much.
Take care. I look forward to seeing you on TV.
Thank you very much. Ok. Yuna let's hurry, we don't have much time until filming starts.
Wait a second. Why are you getting in? You can't come.
You can take the train after getting your interview results back.
Ah, the interview didn't go well.
Huh?!
Wait Kouhei, that means...
I'm sorry. You even put in a good word for me.
A problem came up when he asked why I quit my last job.
He just called to tell me the bad news.
So what does that mean Kouhei?
You're coming back?
Yeah.
We did it!
Meaning, I'm sorry for all the back and forthing, but I'll be returning as your bodyguard again. I look forward to it.
Ah! And I thought yesterday would be the last time I see you. You're coming back?
I guess it can't be helped.
Cactus. If you have nowhere else to go, I'll take you back.
Yeah, Thank you.
Yay! We did it!
I got it. I got it.
I guess the feelings do get across when they need to.
Geez! Why do we have to take the train?
We had no choice. They are the two who have to film, so they get priority.
Then why did Kouhei get to go with them?
He has too. He's Yuna's bodyguard.
Ah, You guys headed to Toyko?
Yes.
Train won't be here for another 2 hours.
What?! 2 Hours?
Kouhei. You lied, right? You got it and turned it down yourself, right?
You're easy to read. Ever since you were little you'd scratch your nose when lying. It's your tell.
But are you ok with this?
Hasn't working at an observatory been your dream since you were little?
You're going to give up on your dream that easily?
I haven't given up. I'll fulfill my dream. I'm certain.
Then why? Why didn't you go?
I have to fulfill my promise of 99 days.
That's why? There are tons of replacements...
It can't be anyone but me.
Huh? Huh?! You...
Ah! Bear! Bear!
You're lying! You're lying?!
Bear! Bear?! What? What?! Where? Where?!
Hey! Fried Tofu Fried Tofu
Fried Tofu? Fried Tofu? What? I'm Fried Tofu.
Fried Tofu!
Don't say Fried Tofu! Stop it!
Do you really like Kouhei that much?
I thought you would need me as a bodyguard.
As a bodyguard?
"The closest and yet furthest existence" eh?
Kouhei!
"Fighting" today too!
