Kippei, make sure to put some vegetables in her lunch too.
What happened?
I burned it.
It looks so gross.
What is that anyway? Food?
It's a hamburger.
The heat is on too high.
Listen, listen, listen!
It's amazing!
I got bigger~
Yuzuyu-chan, get your clothes on!
I'm seventeen kilos now!
Wow! Seventeen kilos?
I wish I could say that.
I ate lots of carrots yesterday, so I got bigger!
That's good, but hurry and put your clothes on.
Onee-sama, which kilo are you?
Don't say "which kilo"; say "how many kilos".
Button the button yourself, okay?
Fifteen kilos.
Why did you tell such a lie?!
Not only that, but by saying fifteen kilos, it sounds like you're being vain.
Wow! I'm bigger! I win!
See? She believed it.
And could you stop making her call you Onee-sama?
You two are annoying! Hurry up and go!
That's right, Kippei, hurry up!
You too, Dear.
I'm going...
Okay, okay...
I'm going, Onee-sama!
Yuzuyu!
My, my... It sure is lively again this morning.
Right, Dear?
Good morning.
Good morning!
Good morning.
Kippei!
Good morning.
What is it?
How's the kid doing?
I'll play with her next time.
I have a little brother, but he really pisses me off.
Is that so?
I only have an older brother and sister.
Is it hard taking care of a child?
I wonder...
Hey, do you change diapers and stuff?
Nope, she's five years old already, so...
Ah, I found Kippei.
Wait a second, I thought Kippei isn't going out with you because he's taking care of his cousin.
But he's with girls...
It's not like he went to the girls himself and he's only talking to them.
You're too soft. It's time for punishment!
And you should make him compliment your braids.
Want me to give you my little brother's hand-me-downs?
Seriously?
It sure is impressive that you're taking care of her.
I'm going to throw it.
Okay!
Throw it!
That was terrible!
Yuzuyu-chan, throw it properly.
I'm so bad at it!
Come on, Yuzuyu-chan, one more time.
You're so bad that it's not even funny.
We can't get started.
Sorry.
I'll try one more time.
Throw it properly!
I'm going to throw it.
Yuzuyu...
Excuse me,
can I help you with something?
O-Oh no, I'm sorry, it's nothing.
E-Excuse me...
Asou Preschool
I guess I'm a little early.
What are you guys doing all the way out here?
Katakura-san...
Kippei-san.
He seems better than us.
Yeah, I think he would be perfect.
What would that be?
There's someone outside who's been peeking into the preschool since this morning.
It's dangerous.
I saw her too, but when I tried talking to her, she ran away.
And?
Katakura-san, can you please go look?
Do your best, young man!
I don't want to.
Don't say that. Please go ask her to stop.
Please!
H-Hey, wait a minute...
Go for it!
Do your best!
Katakura-san!
I don't see a dangerous person.
There isn't anyone.
She fell?
Here. Are you okay?
Thank you.
I'm such a klutz.
Aunt!
You're Aunt Miyako, aren't you?
I'm Kippei.
Kippei-kun?
No way...
It's been so long that I didn't even recognize...
What have you been doing all this time?!
Where were you?
Sorry.
Have you been eating well?
I'm sorry.
I was just so surprised.
Me too.
Thank you very much.
I'm taking care of Yuzuyu right now.
Doesn't that sound like a joke?
I'm sorry.
Did you come to pick up Yuzuyu?
I came to see how she was doing.
However...
...I'm glad...
...that she seems to be doing very well.
Why?! You're not taking her?!
She's just going to keep getting bigger.
She said she's seventeen kilos now.
Is it okay with you that you're not watching her yourself?
I can't...
Why not?!
I'm scared!
After my husband died, I hit Yuzuyu once.
That's it?
Mom and Nee-chan smacked me around when I was growing up and I'm fine!
That's not it.
It's not like that.
It's not like that at all!
It's not the child that's bad...
That's...
I've been gradually saving up some money so that I can take care of Yuzuyu properly.
I promise that one day I will come back strong...
So until then, please take care of Yuzuyu for me.
Please don't tell anyone that I was here, especially Yuzuyu.
Yuzuyu will always be waiting for you.
Asou Preschool
Katakura-san, how did it go?
Did you find that suspicious person?
No, I didn't find anyone.
Oh, really?
That's strange. I kept seeing her throughout the day.
Right?
Kippei-onii-chan!
You're so close to me.
You're so energetic.
You have mud on your face.
From playing ball.
Oh yeah! Can you teach me how to throw a ball sometime?
Sure.
Yay!
Please don't tell anyone that I was here, especially Yuzuyu.
Kippei-onii-chan!
I'm going to go get my bag!
Yuzuyu, come with me for a second!
What's wrong?
Kippei-onii-chan, aren't we going home?
I'm still wearing my indoor shoes.
Squeeze!

Year in, year out; keep living on for me.
I promise that someday I will come back.

What's going on? You seem really happy.
I made a new friend!
Really? What is this person like?
He's very nice. He put a bandage on me and he can even make a rainbow!
And he even said that you're cool!
Thanks.
