Welcome! Kaimei School Festival
Pardon.
Be it Bossun... Ahem, be it Fujisaki Yuusuke-dono who I see before me?
U-Um, yes. And...?
That outfit...
Could this be Shinzou's...
I am the one known as Takemitsu Funzou.
And as it were...
...I am Takemitsu Shinzou's father!
Yeah, I figured that out!
Thank you ever so much for your continued aid of Shinzou and Shinpei!
I am forever and eternally in your debt!
Whoa! Stop! Stop with the rolling groveling!
Dono!
Dono-who?!
Our maid cafe is open for business!
Father! If you art coming, give a man some notice!
Episode 48: Happy Rebirthday
I desire this "Moe Moe Super Spicy Omrice".
Yabas!
Art you listening?!
Oh, it's Shinzou's papa?
A whole lot of people's families have come today.
We might meet a bunch of folks.
Oh, there he is!
Hey, Yuusuke!
Mom?! Rumi?!
Man, I'm thirsty.
Huh? That's Bossun's Mom?
So cool! And fashionable!
You serve booze here?
Isn't his sister just too cute?
Bro, buy me an iced royal milk tea and a piece of cheesecake.
She's saying something!
Hey! If you're coming, give a man some notice!
Akane-san, how long has it been?
Oh, my! I thought I recognized you... Himeko-chan?
Wow, you've really gotten sexy...
I guess you're a girl of that age.
Hey, keep your voice down!
And hurry up and leave!
Your skin is perfect and smooth!
And so full of life!
What do you use as skin lotion?
Tell me! What's your secret?
She's just like Bossun this way.
So, Switch...
What, no honorific?
That's Switch-san to you, punk!
What do you want, little sister?
What's up exactly between Himeko-chan and my brother?
What's up? So much nothing you'd be surprised...
Figures...
I wish he'd just get a girlfriend already.
Buwaha...
We're siblings that aren't blood related, you know?
Who knows when he might start chasing after me?
It gets me all nervous...
With Bossun, seriously, that's not happening.
You think so, too?
Exactly.
Yeah, the guy might as well be a monk.
Indeed! www...
Oh? You act in period dramas?
Wow! Must be nice meeting lots of famous people.
Oh, 'tis nothing much!
Lesson well taught!
Year 2 Class C
Switch! Can I help with something?
No, we're fine.
You did plenty of work helping to prepare the decor and outfits.
You can just take it easy today, at the actual festival.
Yeah, I suppose...
Pardon me-bas!
Whoa!
Sorry...
Hey, Bossun... Could you like, go somewhere?
Check out the other classes already...
Uh, maybe...
Order, please!
Coming!
Can I have a cola?
What the heck are you doing?
So you're a customer now?
Let me just say this!
Don't make me lonely, okay?!
And don't be orderin' me around, jerk!
You're just a little lost lame-o!
Yeah, but...
Fujisaki Yuusuke-kun, is it?
Yeah, and...
Are you someone's dad?
Today is your birthday, isn't it?
Congratulations.
Who are you?
Me?
I am the doctor who took you from your mother's belly 17 years ago.
The accident was also my fault.
I truly apologize.
It was I who took the life of your biological mother.
I'm not asking you to forgive me.
I simply wished to apologize.
Yeah, but that's in the past.
My mom told me this:
"If the doctor hadn't been there, you probably wouldn't have been born."
You saved my life, Doctor.
And you've come now just to apologize?
No, not just because of that.
I have something even more important I must apologize for.
What's that?
You are a man who has no blood relatives left in the world... All alone.
Yeah, that's right.
Nice of you to just lay it all out there for me...
Yeah, well, I don't really care!
I might not have any blood relatives, but I got me a great family!
That's what you believe, yes?
I believe?
But I actually...
You're mistaken.
You are not alone in this world!
There is a person who shares your blood.
Stop with the crazy talk!
What the hell are you talking about?
No, this has gotta be a lie.
There's no way someone like that...
Mom and Dad are there, resting in their grave...
You have heard from Akane-san generally about what happened the day you were born.
Think carefully...
There is still a chance remaining through what happened.
A chance?
The day I was born...
"I bet this isn't going to be an easy birth...
but hang in there and have a safe and healthy delivery!"
"...raise you so you love your parents and siblings."
Sibling
I see... I get it...
That day... That day...
She gave birth to a second baby!
A twin...
I have a twin!
That's right, isn't it?
That's right. You're a twin. You are not alone.
And your brother has been living with me as my son.
I have sinned.
For the past 17 years, I have felt regret for my actions.
Finally, last night, I spoke with my son about the truth.
And today, I have told you.
I have a brother...
Impressive, just as he thought... You can think clearly even after facing the truth.
Just as my son said you would.
As he... said I would?
Yes... You've already met him.
Your brother is somebody you know.
H-Hold on a sec!
Not sure why... But honestly, I already knew...
I know him? Who?!
Who is it?!
I knew who it was.
For complete opposites, you two sure are similar...
Wow, it's like a mirroring comedy sketch!
But don't think that you have won! ...he says!
He's a lot like you, Bossun.
Why does he act like such a big shot?
Oh, I wonder if they're brothers.
They're on exactly the same wavelength!
My father is an excellent doctor whom I respect from the bottom of my heart.
Tsubaki!
What? Tsubaki didn't come today?
It seems he has a cold.
On today of all days?
That guy never comes down with a cold.
He is the son of a doctor.
I do not see how that is relevant.
Michiru-san... What about the cake?
After I went to the trouble of baking one...
Huh? Was there something special today?
Honestly, Agata...
Today is Tsubaki-chan's birthday, remember?
The shock from the accident that happened 17 years ago today caused an accelerated birth.
Both mother and sons were in a battle for life and death.
A twin... And Mom, she...
Akane-san knows nothing about him.
That's crazy! How?
November 11th, 1994
What?! No! Ryousuke...
My word! The husband, too?!
Doctor, please! Save Haru!
I will save her! And the baby, too!
Even so... If something happens to Haru, then...
...I will raise the child myself!
I will save them.
Operation in Progress
Kirishima-san...
This may not be the best time to say this...
Rather... In this situation, I have a duty to tell you.
You see, your husband has...
Ryou-...chan... Ryou-chan was...
You have my sympathy.
Ryou-chan...
Maybe this is our fate...
If it's together with you, then...
D-Doctor, I don't care what happens to me.
Hurry with the delivery...
Yes, of course.
I will take out the baby, and then save you.
Now, let's begin the operation.
Doctor... I was thinking of keeping it as a surprise for Akane, who's outside...
That's why I kept it a secret.
But, I have two babies inside me.
My lord, twins?
I don't care what happens to me.
Just do whatever it takes to keep my babies safe.
The babies who carry the blood of Ryou-chan and me...
Do not worry, and stay conscious.
Doctor, if I die...
I will not let you die!
Please, take care of my baby...
W-What?
Akane probably said she'll raise my baby, right?
But she's studying really hard right now to be a designer...
I don't want to get in the way of her dreams.
And, considering her financial situation, there's no way she could raise both of them...
You shouldn't worry about that!
Because you are going to make it through this!
Yes... Please, do what you can...
No... I can tell, I don't have long...
Ryou-chan, Ryou-chan...
Ever since we were kids, you've always been there by my side.
I regret not being able to say goodbye, but let me say this...
Thank you, so much...
D-Doctor...
One final thing...
Please, don't talk any more!
You can tell me later!
Please, let me say it now.
We've already decided on their names...
I don't want to hear about that!
So... So that they'd become people who help others...
So that they'd work together...
"Right"
"Right" and "Left"...
"Left"
Yuusuke and Sasuke.
Yuusuke
Sasuke
There, there...
I'm sorry, Kirishima-san...
I did all I could... But I couldn't save your life...
Fate is so cruel...
She gave birth to such cute babies, and then passed away...
Meanwhile, the two of us remain childless...
I am happy to pass this clinic on to you.
But I can't believe you and your wife can't have a child.
What do you plan to do about the next generation, huh?
Will you adopt?
Recently, you aren't looking so well.
Are you overworked? Or maybe it's stress?
And you call yourself a doctor...
One...
We will take one of the babies.
Fujisaki-san, a healthy baby boy was born.
I'm still not sure what came over me.
At the time, I was convinced that I had made the best decision.
I never told Akane-san that twins had been born, and Sasuke became our son.
I wanted to tell Akane-san the truth countless times...
But to me and my wife, who were never blessed with a child no matter how hard we tried,
we loved Sasuke so very much...
I kept thinking "I want to be together just a little longer...
Just one day... Just one more day!"
Before I knew it, days became weeks became months...
Today it has been 17 years.
Sasuke has grown into a son I could have only dreamed of...
Tsubaki is... my brother.
I am sorry! I have committed a sin for which I can never atone!
I kept you two brothers apart from each other...
No matter what words I say, it's completely unforgivable!
Hey, stop that already!
But!
Whatever, just stop it already!
Why tell us now, all of a sudden?
The other day, I just happened to run into your mother, Akane-san.
The first time after the accident...
I heard that she told you everything two years ago, on your 15th birthday.
When I heard that, the ache in my heart began anew...
Yuusuke-kun already knew... Therefore I should tell everything to my Sasuke as well!
That's what I thought.
Sasuke's reaction was similar.
Frankly, I would have rather he had come at me angry, and yelling...
You won't be angry with me, either?
Stop talking like this is about you!
This is just way too much to take in.
It's enough as it is.
Whatever... Honestly, I'm at a loss here, and your apology doesn't change that.
But...
Look, I'm not just going to forgive you so easily for what you did.
But... And I don't really get it myself...
For some reason, I just can't get angry about this.
It's like, my head is so jumbled up right now...
Please, let me be alone.
I understand.
I'd like to meet you again when you have your emotions settled.
My wife also wishes to meet you very much.
If you'll excuse me...
Let me ask just one thing.
About Tsubaki...
Well, I don't really care about him or anything...
But I think he's probably seriously shaken up about this.
A lotta stuff is probably gonna happen now... But, um...
He said that he respects you!
When I see him, I can tell how much love you and your wife raised him with.
No different than my family.
Thank you...
Those words are all the reward I could ever want...
Today's Kaimei School Festival has now come to a close.
All classes stop their activities and begin cleaning up.
Where did Bossun go?
I was planning on celebrating his birthday today...
Please gather firewood in the middle of the field for the bonfire.
Man...
W-What?
It's true.
The resemblance is there, yeah...
You're too close!
And we don't look alike!
Who'd have thought we'd be brothers, huh?
Did you hear which one of us is the elder brother?
That'd be you, it seems.
What?
Oh? So you're the little brother?
How about gettin' me a can of coffee?
No! I refuse!
Why should I?
You're the little brother, so do as your big brother says!
No way!
And make it one of the lightly sweetened ones.
No way!
This isn't funny!
You think I can just accept being told we're brothers out of the blue?!
Yeah, true that.
Honestly, I haven't come to grips with it myself at all.
Not at all.
Weren't you shocked?
You heard that you weren't related to your parents at the same time, right?
I had already realized that I wasn't related to them.
Huh?! Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
My blood type is AB.
And my father is type A, while my mother is type B.
That's what I was told.
But my parents were actually both type O.
It's impossible for two type O parents to have a child with type AB.
In other words, my parents were not my real mother and father.
That's nice and adult of you.
I ran away from home.
Now I feel like an idiot.
Two years ago, I realized the truth, and decided to become stronger.
And, well, there was another catalyst, too.
If you were to ask me when I was shocked, it was back then.
But your dad is...
My parents didn't know that I had found out.
They didn't know a thing.
There was no point in talking to them about it.
Because it wouldn't have changed the fact that I was their son.
Back then, I decided to become stronger.
The folk dance after the festival will now begin.
Everyone on the field, please circle the bonfire and link hands.
Are you angry?
I would be lying to say I was not...
But, for some reason, only a little bit.
Same as me.
Yeah, but rather...
Maybe I'd have been happier if it was someone other than you that was my brother.
Hey! You think this is fun for me, too?
Why'd it have to be you of all people?!
That's my line!
Why are we always at each other's throats like this again?
It's 'cause you're always picking fights...
No, it's you!
You!
Like "I don't really have a reason, I just don't like him."
For complete opposites, you two sure are similar...
I don't have a reason, but he bugs me...
Because we resembled each other, was it?
Maybe I realized it deep down inside?
Well, don't worry about it.
Nothing's going to change with us.
We can't be all like, brotherly pals all of a sudden.
And we'll stay living where we are now.
We'll be in different classes and clubs.
Just two guys in the same year who don't particularly get along.
Nothin's gonna change.
Yes. I agree.
Well, that's that.
Um, right...
Come over to my place for dinner one night.
I'll introduce you to my mom and sister.
Sure...
Later! Man, today was tiring.
What a day. Seriously...
Happy birthday.
That concludes the after festival activities.
Everyone, thank you for your hard work today.
Huh? What's this?
You're a twin. You are not alone.
Wow! Stuff like that really happens!
But... I just can't believe it...
Bossun, you're like the main character in a manga!
Enough already! How many days are you going to stay surprised about this?!
Hey, hey! Have you talked with Tsubaki since then?
Not really...
Why not? You're brothers, you should talk more!
Okay, then! After this, we're heading to the Student Council office to see Tsubaki!
Then you guys can talk!
Wait a second, I want to film this.
I ain't goin'!
Screw you guys, I'm going home!
Aw, wait up!
Oh, Tsubaki!
Why are you embarrassed?!
You too?!
Wait up. Why're you acting like that?
You're like a boy and girl the day after they confessed to each other!
Act more like brothers, got it?
Clam it, you!
Come on, shake hands!
Why do we have to shake hands?
Stop it! I don't...
Stick out your hand!
Enough, I don't...
Stop it!
Come on, what's the big surprise? Tell me already!
It's a secret! But it's a really wonderful and happy surprise.
Yeah, we even came up with names!
Right and left...
Ryou-chan, shh!
Anyway, yay!
Look at how big Haru's belly has gotten!
So, who are we talking to in this video?
We're gonna show it to our family!
We'll watch it every year on their birthday!
Hey! You growin' up nice and healthy?
Happy birthday!
