Marie-san... Marie-san, stop!
Akira-kun, are you OK?
I…
have no place in this world
Akira-kun…
Marie-san? Marie-san
Marie-san!
Just now. Do you understand
what you were doing?!
I…
Why
is it like this…
Marie-san
Akira
and Makoto
I wanted to love them
Always
I want to love them but…
I hurt them, I drive them to the wall
What happened?
Would you…
leave us now
Marie-san
No matter what happens
I am your friend I...
am a mother who cannot love her children!
Hey, where are you going? You haven't been honest
You've been drinking tea with an old man in a married women club
Honestly I- Let me think about what you've done.
The bus back to Tokyo leaves from the other side
Is this... is this the end?
I've brought trouble to you and
changed your life. So-
Since I don't want to tie you up I didn't tell you
I'm going to become a professional physical therapist
I'll certainly come to see you
So you are going to take the national exam?
Please do your best
You will do fine because you're Rika-can
Well, then
I too
must settle things
with my husband
(Children) Good day! Good morning!
Haruto, let's go
I can go alone
I guess he's at the rebellious stage
Oh, Yuki! Good morning!
You're fine. And thoughtless.
I'm faking being fine.
Kamahara-san Good morning
About Odadera-san?
I met with her
But... I couldn't do anything
I'm sure it's something only you can do
Have a nice day (Parent and Child) Have a nice day
(Shinnosuke) Next month is March Finally, it will be graduation
Final Year (Usagi Class/Panda Class) Plan [Third Semester]
*BOARD: List of events going on between January and March. If you really wanna know, let me know.
In keeping with the annual graduation tradition, please donate equipment for the playground
(Mamiko) Sensei Yes
Which parent should hand the certificate
to the Director at the ceremony?
Marie-san was supposed to do it
but I think we should ask
Satoko-san to represent us
We don't actually know whether Marie-san
can't come to the graduation so- (Kayo) If you consider studying for
the exams and dealing with the tabloid press
I think Marie-san has enough burdens already
Satoko-san, what about it?
(Shinnosuke) Well, then…
Satoko-san, are you sick?
I'm fine. It's nothing
(Shinnosuke) This is the schedule from January to March...
Yuki About your debt?
Did you speak with Kyoji?
It came out
He knows about the debt and my previous part-time job
There may be a divorce
Divorce?
I'm sorry for before
I hadn't understood how
lonely it is for you
taking care of a child by yourself
You're OK?
I'm OK
I got a part-time job at the supermarket
so I can be on my own after this
Not this! The blue one is good! You've always liked red before
(Tetsuji) Hey, he's going to catch a cold. (Kiko) Haruto says he doesn't like red anymore.
Red is a girl's color. The red Sentai Hero is a boy
That's not red, he is Red! No, no, no. When people
become 60 years old, they wear a red vest to celebrate
After all, red is adult's color
Hmm?
Good night! Good night!
He IS in a rebellious phase after all. Earlier, he wanted to do errands alone
He was serious Errands?
Impossible. I won't let him.
What's that? Oh
Pages for the graduation album
Maybe Haruto is feeling lonely, wondering how Makoto-kun is.
He was the 1st friend he made in kindergarten
Marie-san, is there anything I can do for you?
Kun-chan, look! I got a school satchel!
Cool, Haruto You've grown up
Hop, hop, jump! Hop, hop-- Haruto
Haruto, Grandpa went to a lot of trouble to get that for you
You're going to damage it before you go to school I won't damage it
Hop, hop, jump The rebellious age is same as ever
Hop, hop, jump…
Makoto-kun's dad-san
Is Makoto-kun OK?
Will he come to kindergarten?
Odadera-san
I'm sorry for the terrible scene you saw last time
How is Marie-san doing?
And Akira-kun?
Tomorrow, Akira is going to the villa Why?
If Akira-kun and Marie-san stay in the same house together
they will both fall apart.
They need time
Kiko-chan, we need ten 1-coin lunches for delivery
Okay... Excuse me
To be honest, the reason I'm calling on you
is that we are searching for a chef for our Ginza shop
Ginza?! Oh, no way, no way
I think you are a really talented chef
but
the place where you can best use that skill
is right here, right?
Clinic
Marie-san?
I…
have no where to go
I am a mother who cannot love her children
Kiko-san!
What's up?
Because Marie-san has constantly helped me out,
I want to help her, even if only a little But…
I have no idea why Akira-kun was standing over there
Yesterday
On the way to the hospital yesterday I noticed Marie-san
The hospital? Satoko-san, is something wrong?
I…
am just fine
Marie-san was being supported by her maid
She appeared quite haggard
You know Yuuki will be our heir
He is under more pressure than his sisters
and was pressed past his limits
That's why I think I understand Marie-san's feelings
Marie-san said of herself
that she is a mother who cannot love her children
Parenting
Really, it doesn't go like you expect
If there is any trouble now
it only grows larger with time
Maybe everyone worries if they are able to properly love
I wish Marie-san realized that.
If only we could teach her that everyone is the same
(Children) Farewell!
(Satoko) Ah, this reminds me
Marie-san's oldest attended Shugakuin elementary school up ahead
Elementary school...
I understand
Satoko-san, thank you!
Hey... Hey, Kiko-san
(Housekeeper) Madam, Akira-san
is leaving so...
Akira-kun!
Akira-kun! Akira-kun!
I understand
Akira-kun, I understand
That crossing was the way to the elementary school
So that is why you stood there!?
(Driver) Shall I stop here?
Akira-kun!
That crosswalk was Akira's starting line!
Kiko-chan
Is this emailed order a prank? Huh?
(Butler) Akira-san's room is this way. When I grow up
I want to drive a car
I'm sorry for making you come so far.
How's your shop doing? It's fine...
I found the perfect part-timer
Quiche is ready
Sorry for the wait
Here you go Thank you
Ah! Stop, stop! Thank you
What?
I told Kiko-chan I'd work the register
I've had a change of heart, so I'm helping out on my day off.
Liar. If I get a bonus
I'll repay the money properly That's a lie
(H) It's not! (K) Lies (H) It's not! (K) It is.
Good afternoon... It's you Bad luck
No Kiko-chan today
Do you often help in the shop? Yep… Eh?
Jealous? Wrong
Because it's not like that
I'm a worthless dude that got dumped
so, Shinnosuke-sensei, it's your chance!
It's Kamahara
I brought lunch
(Door opens)
I'll open the curtain
It's gloomy and it makes it hard to eat lunch
That's a pretty old book, huh
Is it yours?
It's Mom's
I see
Here you go
Is it good?
It's a nice place here, isn't it
I'll be sent somewhere soon
You don't want to go?
(Akira) What I want doesn't matter
Are you a husband? Are you a father?
Please rescue them!
(Ryuugo) Akira
(Akira) Don't come in!
Go away... go away!
Go away!
Odadera-san!
Akira...
I need to talk with you Go away…
Go away... go away
Akira
Akira!
I'm sorry for everything up to now
I dumped everything on Mother
and did nothing for you
From now on, hate me
Strike at me!
I
I can will take whatever you throw
Makoto-kun's big brother, what's elementary school like?
Is the lunch tasty? Are the teachers nice? Haruto
Questions like that probably embarrass big brother
Come here. I don't want to hold hands. Children do that!
Haruto is Mother's child
(Akira) Mother. I'm already a 1st grader. I don't hold hands
Haruto, go play quietly!
I'm sorry
Let me take a look
Oh, it's bleeding..
Your dad didn't get hurt
If I could cross…
I thought I could change
but…
I couldn't even cross
Akira-kun was standing at the Miyanomori crossing
Wasn't that how he went
to elementary school?
(Ryuugo) Everyday, Marie took Akira by car
to the Miyanomori intersection
Mother, I'm already in 1st grade. I don't need to hold your hand.
I see I'm going
See you later
(Ryuugo) Akira had made friends at school
But one day,
a friend disappeared.
Odadera group had driven his father into bankruptcy.
His friends blamed him.
We learned he had been ostracized
after the school told us. He was truant.
Akira…
(Ryuugo) Since that day
Marie has always blamed herself.
Marie-san?
(Marie) Akira!
Marie-san, what are you doing?
Hurry to the car
Here's where everything began to go awry
If he got good grades
it was because of favoritism for being an Odadera.
If he did badly
he was mocked as a fool
Akira
hung in there and kept going...
I'm completely to blame
Marie-san
That child…
can't even go to high school
He can't go anywhere anymore
(Rika) Barging in! Sorry for coming late
Here are the parents' revisions Thank you
Here you go Thank you
Ah, it's full of nostalgic photos
What's this? Photos of only 3 people from May?
Not having the same number of pages will be troublesome
As expected of Satoko-san. Kiko-san!
Hey, Kiko-san Huh? Oh!
Whoa (Yuki) Mom!
(Children) Haruto... (Rika) Haruto-kun went on an errand alone

Haruto! Mom!
Yuki, sorry. Thanks It's nothing
Haruto…
You shouldn't be running off on errands by yourself
I have to practice to be a 1st grader
Practice?
So I can go to elementary school
without holding Mom's hand
If I was a grown up,
you'd feel less stress right?
Haruto…
Once I left the store, I had no idea where I was...
Uh-huh
You don't need to be
in a hurry to grow up
Really? Yes, really
Do not grow up in such a hurry~
If Haruto becomes grown up at once,
Mom would feel lonely
While smiling a lot, crying a lot,
children will properly grow up
Even if you stumble, or stop,
we're still a family forever
You've worked hard
Kyouji
I… reflected on what I've done
I did something stupid and I am regretting it
That's why…
It has been repaid?
What about the money?
With the money I saved as a student and
the loan from a mutual-benefit association, I repaid it
For Sakurako, you were desperate, right?
Kyouji…
This fool
Do not keep secrets from me… anymore
I'm sorry
Sorry… I'm sorry
Haruto was definitely tired
He fell asleep right away
I'm sorry for not doing it while you're at work
Nah
Somehow this reminds me of
Kiko when you were a child Me?
It was when you just came here after losing your parents
You were taken care by grandma and me
You tried to do everything by yourself Is that so?
(Tetsuji) I thought of this while watching you
To what extent would a child forgive their parents
maybe they are checking on their parental love without knowing
Perhaps that is what Haruto is thinking in the back of his mind
Is that where Marie-san and Akira-kun disagree on?
Buttoning a shirt incorrectly,
is unexpectedly easier to fix compared to others,
Good Morning Good Morning
(Fune) Oh Kamahara-san Fune-sensei
That's right! I'm Fune
I am now going to attend the board of directors meeting for this preschool
The board of directors.. Does that mean that Fune-sensei is one of the directors?
Of course. From the year after next, my sister proposed to have
half of the children in preschool from working mothers
Ah that's it! You shall appear in the meeting with the board
frankly telling them that working mothers are not suitable for this preschool
Aunt, what are you doing? Frankly-
(Fumi) I'm really sorry for that younger sister of mine～
It's okay… The preschool too is going to change right
It has not been decided yet
Come to think of it, Kamahara-san
This morning, we have been officially contacted by Odadera-san,
they said they are not able to attend the graduation ceremony…
Of course, we will keep you informed on whether they'll be coming
Graduation is an important milestone
If you miss that
I think it will become something you suffer for a long time…
(Midori) If you are not complying with the divorce,
March
I will contend it thoroughly
I will also not give you custody of Rika
(Shuuhei) I was wrong
I apologise for what I've done till now- Rika,
has passed the National exams
I am also preparing to launch a child care support company
Together with Rika,
we will start over again
Please rethink- Please
Please divorce me
On the 17th this month,
it's the graduation ceremony, so show up.
Ah Shinnosuke-sensei?
What's wrong?
I have something I would like to discuss with you…
We have talked previously about accepting working mother's children
Honestly, what do you think about it?
I am in favour of it
Are you objecting it?
I've seen a lot of mothers who
get along well on the surface but
sabotages each other
If I could understand the amount of suffering they go through,
it would become an irreplaceable existence.
If Shizuku Preschool
became a place where mothers of different positions could understand each other,
it would be great.
But I wonder if I'm able to do it…
If it's Shinnosuke-sensei, you can do it
When the person I like tells me that, I feel like I can do anything.
Ahh…
You don't have give me an answer now
Could we meet after the graduation?
Eh?
Please give me your answer after the graduation
Day Before Graduation
Even though Sakurako failed the National exams,
she is in high spirits as she will be attending the same elementary school as Haruto-kun
But I'm not regretful, I'm giving this a go
I am happy now
and I wholeheartedly think so
Hereafter, let's do it!
Ohh!
Are you alright?
Er… Erm Satoko-san?
I'm sorry, when I'm pregnant I get really hungry
Pregnant!? A fourth child?
There wasn't really a right timing to say it Congratulations!
(Satoko) Both my husband and mother-in-law are happy
My daughters and Yuuki have became more willing to help out
Since we became 2, Rika has also
been willingly helping out more often
I understand the hard work of a mom
Making my mind up about bringing Rika up alone is
also thanks to Kiko-san Me?
You showed us that for the sake of your child, if you live while sweating,
the child would keep their eyes on that back
Well But, I have been brought up by Haruto too
Heave-ho… Somehow this is nostalgic
When I just entered the preschool, Satoko-san was scary
At that time, it was my intention to drive Kiko-san out
I was so angry
that I even kicked your bike but now, it's a good memory
The butter soy-sauce rice during the lunch meeting. Usually, you wouldn't be able to make it in that situation, right
But it was delicious right?
Unexpectedly, Marie-san was pleased with that rice
(Marie) Could you make it again?
(Midori) I wonder if Marie-san is coming tomorrow?
I hope she comes. Kiko-san
After that, what happened with Marie-san?
I might have only made Marie-san confused
Perhaps it is not my business anymore
What are you saying now?
Even if it's not your business, the one who turns up is Kiko right?
It's not like you've only just become nosy, you shouldn't hold back… (Kiko) But…
(Satoko) Thoughtlessly stepping into other people's household, is what Kiko-san does best.
If you start reading the atmosphere now, what could you do?
(Midori) Here
I'll be here looking after Haruto-kun in your stead
Marie-san? It's Kiko, Marie-san!
Marie-san…
(Locked)
Marie-san
Because... Marie-san was at my side
I did not have to leave Shizuku Preschool
Everything is
really
all thanks to Marie-san.
That's why
I came to be nosy again
A little while ago, I went to see Akira-kun
He was reading his mom's book
Marie-san has properly loved Akira-kun
You have worked so hard to a limit and you did your best
I think Marie-san's thoughts
has been relayed properly
Marie-san
I will say this clearly
If you continue to blame yourself,
Akira-kun will not be able to proceed forward from his start line
Please spend more time with Akira-kun
That is enough for a parent and child
There's no need for anything else
For Makoto-kun's sake and also for Marie-san's sake,
please come
to the graduation ceremony tomorrow
(Akira) "20th of June, Toast, scrambled eggs, salad, soup"
(Marie) "Since we got sent crabs, I tried making pilaf"
"Please eat it"
(Akira) 6th of January, Crab pilaf
(Marie) We picked chestnuts at the preschool
(Akira) 28th October, Chestnut rice
(Marie) To Akira, Happy 15th Birthday
(Marie) "As it was snowing so much today"
"We made a snowman"
(Akira) "10th of February, Roll Cabbage, tomato salad, snowman"
"10th of April, Omelette rice, corn salad…"
"31st July, Neapolitan, Potato salad…
"2nd March, Gratin…"
"26th April, Beef stew"
Akira…
Before this, I thought that entering the preschool was early
At first,
I thought it was out-of-place but
now I'm glad to have placed Haruto in Shizuku preschool
In a forest, there are a variety of trees growing
One by one, they spread their roots
By supporting each other, it has given the forest life
To live is
to support each other
Trees and humans too,
supports each other,
decaying before long,
until they die out
Just that they are living eagerly now
For parents, as their child is so cute,
no matter what, they will try to teach their child how to live comfortably
But originally, parents should not be teaching their child
ways to live while benefiting but,
to teach them
just how much of a miracle is it to live and to die
That's what I think.
Graduation Ceremony
(Shinnosuke) Congratulations for this occasion
(Tetsuji) We were under your care Thank you
(Shizuko) Hey can this film continuously?
Marie-san is not here, right
Somehow, it is lacking brilliance
Even though they spoke ill of Marie-san behind her back
They must be lonely
Kamahara-san, the ceremony is starting Please sit
You are interesting
You are not someone who tells a lie easily
I like how straightforward you are
Shizuku Gradution Ceremony

We will begin the 2015 graduation ceremony for Shizuku Preschool

Satoko-san camera! Camera camera
Everyone, congratulations on your graduation
Everyone has grown up
in this Shizuku Preschool
It is not just your body and the ability to learn that has grown,
but also your kind heart
Everyone will be fine no matter where they go
To all of the guardians,
except for the fact that everyone has a child,
you've come together despite the difference in age, circumstances and values
Looking around your own surroudings, you were impatient and hesitated
and realised that parenting is something that is so lonely
and there were times where you were troubled and suffered, right?
Thinking too much for your children,
blaming yourself,
till the point where you lost sight of yourself
But everyone is the same
No matter how bewildered the person is,
please reach out to them
There are people who are facing the same troubles as you…
Kiko-san
Marie-san
Please
Thank you Satoko-san
