It was only a little, but...
atashi no houni chotto
On my side of the bed...
zureteru makura
The pillow had slipped.
macaroni no oto ga
The sound of macaroni...
sarasara suberu sukoshi dakedo
Smoothly sliding, just a little.
onnanoko wa ne hayaku okinakucha nano
Girls should get up earlier...

and spend longer brushing their teeth.

You can keep sleeping. Goodnight.
Look, Shouta.
Everyone is blaming me because you won't do things properly.
I...
get so tired of being around you!
Mother...
Wait!
Don't leave me!
Let me go!
Shouta-kun!
Mother!
Shou-chan!
Yuzuyu-chan.
Shou-chan, Let's Meet Again...
Really, it's...
Katakura.
You said that you'd come late, but you never showed up.
Don't skip.
I'm sorry.
Everyone worked on this, so you should too.
It's morning, so go work on it in the library.
Check this out!
Aki, be quiet!
Kippei?
Kokoro-chin.
I want to sit here.
Sure.
You seem down?
What's wrong?
I hit Yuzuyu once.
She hit Shou-chan!
What do you do for a child?
What can you do?
It's not like your little tea party!
I'm sorry... Just for a bit...
Kippei...
What's wrong?
Hello, Mom?
I'm sorry, but could you pick up Yuzuyu today?
Yeah, please.
Well, I'm going.
Go for it.
It's Nashiya-san.
Did you hear about what happened the other day?
Really?
Hello.
I looked you up in the preschool directory and came here.
What do you want?
Weren't you going to stop sticking your nose in other people's business?
I...
have never tried to be like a parent to Yuzuyu.
It's just that...
I want to share my feelings with her.
Kippei-onii-chan!
Because Yuzuyu sees me...
Because Yuzuyu turns to me...
That's why I want to return her feelings.
Isn't a simple reason like that enough?
If you don't notice soon, you'll just become more and more distant from each other.
No...
It's not like that...
It's not like that at all.
Cleaning
R o a s t F o w l
Kippei-onii-chan!
You're back!
What are you doing?
She wouldn't listen to me. She wanted to go get you.
Piggy back! Piggy back!
Okay, okay.
So, how did it go?
Well...
Well, what?
Nee-chan.
She told me not to tell,
but Yuzuyu's mom came the other day.
I never heard about this!
That's because she told me not to tell.
You should tell me things like that!
Shh. You'll wake Yuzuyu up.
She said she's scared to be around Yuzuyu because she hit her.
But Yuzuyu and that boy both want to stay with their parents, right?
Since your parents mean everything to you when you're young.
I wonder why adults don't understand that.
It's too strange.
Different people have different situations.
Yuzuyu-chan is lucky to have you.
It was good that you were around.
Onee-sama!
Die.
Mother!
Watch out!
I'm sorry.
You...!
Oh, what's wrong?
Shouta-kun?
Oh my god!
Madam!
Madam?
Madam?!
When did I become like this?
He cried a lot at night.
Hey, he's crying.
Come on, Shou-chan. What's wrong?
Mama's here.
Hey.
Come on now.
I never understood how hard the night could be until I had a child.
And then...
Just having a child watch television all day?
I'm going.
Yes, that's right.
A child has fallen down the stairs.
Please come quickly!
Please! Hurry! Hurry!
Truck!
I'm sorry. He's still a baby.
If you'd like, could you play with him?
Yuusuke, come over here.
Okay.
Come here and play with the usual kids.
Mother.
I want a truck.
Let's go home.
Huh? We're going home?
I don't want to.
Just come on.
Welcome home.
You're early. Did something happen?
I quit my job.
I knew it was hard on him,
but I couldn't be nice even if I wanted to.
YAKUSHI HOSPITAL
It's a minor concussion.
There are no serious problems now,
but just in case, he should stay in the hospital today.
By the way, I need to speak to you a little later, if that's okay with you.
Conference Room
There are bruises all over Shouta-kun's body.
It's like from being hit many times on a regular basis.
Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?
When did I become like this?
Mother.
Nashiya-san.
Today, Shouta-kun has...
Don't!
Stop calling me!
Don't corner me!
You...
I heard that Shouta fell down the stairs!
Where is Shouta?!
Dear...
Are you Shouta-kun's father?
Yes.
Could you sit down for a moment?
If you're worried about Shouta-kun, he's fine.
If he rests today and tomorrow, then he will be able to go to preschool the day after tomorrow.
Sir. Ma'am.
Are you familiar with the family counseling available at a child consultation center?
Problems can be solved if the family comes to understand each other's way of doing things.
If you ask for help, people will help you.
At home... Well...
I left the house after I locked up.
All the laundry was folded.
It was so sloppy.
I knew right away that Shouta did it.
He probably did it because he wanted to help you.
I've been a burden lately, and I never thought about doing anything for you.
I'm a worthless father.
No...
It's not like that...
It's not like that at all...
It's not the child who's bad.
When did I become like this?
I'm not...
I'm not really like this.
I truly... love him.
I really... want to love him more.
YAKUSHI HOSPITAL
Shouta.
Mother?
Shouta, I'm sorry.
Mother, I...
folded the laundry.
I was able to help.
Shouta...
Father.
Next time, I'll help you.
Okay, I'll teach you.
Hello.
Shou-chan!
Yo!
I'm drawing right now.
Oh?
Is Shouta-kun all right now?
Yes, he's fine now.
We've decided to move back to my home town.
If we move back to the suburbs, my husband may be able to find a job and we can live a quiet life.
I see.
That's great.
Also, I have decided to get help from many different people...
so I won't have to carry the burden alone.
I don't know if I can do it,
but just once more...
I want to go back to how I was and start over.
What are you peeking at?
Shh.
What? Moving?
My family is going to move back to my grandparents' home.
So, this is bye-bye.
You're going away, Shou-chan?
Yeah.
Shouta!
Mother!
My mom is actually much nicer.
Thank you for looking out for Shouta.
No problem.
Goodbye.
Shouta, get in.
Okay.
Yuzuyu.
I'll always be your friend.
Don't cry when you fall, okay?
See you.
I liked Shou-chan a lot!

The color of the evening sky

The gentle touch of your parent's hands.

I used to peek at your happy face

When did it start to fall?

We passed over the waves

stifling a yawn.

Talking to yourself at the break of dawn

Just standing tall for the time being.
omae wo omou omoi
My feelings for you...

come out in my dreams.
nen nen sai sai nen ne nasai anshinshitete
Year in, year out; slumbering peacefully.
nen nen sai sai boku no tame umarete kinasai
Year in, year out; keep living on for me.
First love, huh?
Why are you sulking?
Yuzuyu's feelings for you are familial love.
You got that?
That's not...!
I know.
Shut up!
Leave me alone!
You're the loud one.
Shou-chan

It's summer!
Summer! I love ice cream!
Speaking of summer, it's pool time!
We're going to swim.
P-Pool?
Huh? Yuzuyu? What's wrong?
No pool! I hate it!
What? Really?
Okay. As your guardian, I will coach you.
Next time on Aishiteruze Baby:
