If only...
If only I could go to the past and find out for myself...
I have heard your wish.
The cat god?!
Tsukiko!
Senpa—
Senpai.
That was...
It was the cat god.
It...
Something seems different.
The cat god might have done something again.
Who cares if we don't have a ball?
Those who say they lack are only lacking creativity, you know!
Hey, have I seen you before...?
What the hell are you doing, you slowpoke trash?
Who are you? Are you interested in little kids, you pervert?!
Next time I see you, I'm reporting you to the police!
A hundred times!
H-Hey, wait! Hey!
W-Was that...
Senpai...
Look at this.
Um...
Mayoral elections voting day...
200—
2003?!
Looks like the cat god granted my wish in a terrible way.
I said I wanted to find out for myself what happened in the past...
This is the world ten years ago.
Th-This means we went back into the past, right?
Inside Tsutsukakushi-san's House
What are we going to do?
We might not be able to get back to our own time!
If we stay here and get older,
by the time we catch up to our original ages,
we might have four, five, or eleven kids...
Since it's a wish that the cat god granted,
we should be able to cancel it,
Hentai-san from the future.
We can return at any time,
so we don't have to be in a rush to get back.
First, let's go to where my mom worked.
Your mom?
That way, we can prove that my sister and I
lived with our mother when we were younger.
Oh, right.
Also, if I can prove that I had met you when we were younger,
then I'll be your number one...
Oh, my.
Oh, thank you very much. Sorry about that.
No problem.
You need to say thank you, too, Aa-chan.
Aa-chan?
Thank you, Mister...
Rage, rage, rage, rage...
Why did you keep staring at her?
Are you into that sort of thing?
No! Even Yoshida Kenko said it's normal to look
at those who have not yet blossomed.
It's only natural to admire young girls!
Jeez. You're a Hentai-san through and through.
That's...
Amazing.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Amazing.
Hey! Tsutsukakushi!
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
Amazing. Amazing, amazing.
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
It's too amazing.
What's wrong, Tsutsukakushi?
I'll introduce you, Senpai.
Yokodera Yoto-kun. A shiny, happy six-year-old.
Hi, Onii-chan!
Huh?
Y-You're kidding...
I'm sorry.
You're so polite, Yoto-kun, that it surprised him.
Nah, to have a pretty lady like you talk to me,
I'm the one who's surprised.
You're quite the smooth talker, Yoto-kun.
That tickles, Onee-chan!
It's normal to admire those who have not yet blossomed.
If we raise him in a sterile environment,
in ten years, he'll be Hikaru Genji.
Do you hear me?
Just stay the way you are now, no matter what.
Make sure you don't take a wrong turn and become a Hentai-san.
Yeah! I'll do my best to become a cool grown-up like Onii-chan!
Are you waiting for your mom to pick you up, Yoto-kun?
Nope! I'm waiting for Tsukasa-san from
Tsutsukakushi-san's house to finish work.
Tsukasa-san from Tsutsukakushi-san's house?
You're here again, you little brat?
Auntie Tsukasa!
Huh?!
I don't need a little brat like you calling me Auntie.
I'm sorry, Auntie Tsukasa!
Whoops, I mean Auntie Tsukasa!
My bad... Auntie Tsukasa!
All right!
Not "all right."
What made you think that was all right, you little brat?
Hey, Tsukiko-chan, is that...
What did you want today?
Yes. That's my mother, I think...
Don't tell me you're going to ask me again...
Well, my mom and dad aren't coming home again today.
So I thought I'd have dinner at your house.
And if things go my way, I'll get to sleep over again...
What do you mean, if things go your way?
I have no obligations to a brat who's already graduated preschool.
You don't need obligations, as long as there's love!
There's none of that, either.
I hate kids, and I hate you the most in the world.
She's not how I imagined her from the picture.
Terribly, completely, absolutely different...
So is that a no?
You're a nuisance. Go home.
All right. I'll go home.
Just for one night.
Yay!
Huh?
Anyway, we should confirm Nee-san's memories.
Um, Mo... Tsukasa-san.
What?
Who the hell are you?
I'm Kikko Y. Azukiella.
This is my older brother, Toyo T. Azukiella.
And I said we're siblings, but we're step-siblings,
so legally, there are no problems with us being siblings.
And?
There's something I wanted to ask you...
I know!
Why don't you two stay for dinner, too?
What?
Hey, little brat. Don't push it.
Please, Tsukasa-san!
I said, "no."
All right. I'll give up.
Just this once. It's not happening again.
Okay!
The Tsutsukakushi house had not changed at all in ten years...
Or so I thought, but I was wrong.
You guys are all a nuisance.
Eat up. I made it myself.
Tsukasa-san... must not like doing housework.
I'm sure that's a shock to Tsukiko-chan.
Or so I thought, but I was wrong.
Thank you for the meal.
I apologize for agreeing to stay for dinner.
Yeah, it's a real pain.
I'm full, but I'm sure you could eat more.
Thank you very much.
Munch, munch, munch, munch...
Me, too! I want seconds, too!
Don't be impudent, little brat.
Aw, I'm sorry.
Pick the one you want.
Yay! Thank you, Tsukasa-san!
And don't freeze your stomach, little brat.
Do you guys have a place to stay tonight?
If not, why don't you just stay here?
Uh, but....
It's fine! Tsukasa-san is always lonely by herself.
What?! I think you're mistaken about something, little brat.
Okay, I give up.
Well, I do have plans tomorrow...
Yeah, I give up.
I mean, really important plans.
I see. I give up.
Plans—
Roger! I give up.
Use two of the rooms upstairs.
Thank you! I love you, Tsukasa-san!
Stop! You're getting me all sticky!
There you go. Make yourselves at home, okay?
I'm beat. I'm going to bed.
This is breakfast.
Okay! Thanks!
Is this what she always serves for breakfast?
Not all the time! Sometimes it's potato chips!
I thought she was a better mother...
Tsukiko-chan...
Tsukasa-san is a good person.
She lives by herself, so she doesn't really care about meals.
Wait. Did you say she lives by herself?
Yeah! She's always by herself and looks lonely,
so I come see her whenever I can.
I... see...
Tsukasa-san doesn't live with Steel-san or Tsukiko-chan...
Maybe Steel-san's memory was wrong....
And my memory...
I don't remember meeting Tsukasa-san when I was younger....
Something doesn't seem right.
I guess this tracksuit and I are destined to be together.
Oh, Onii-chan?
Hey, what's up? What are you doing out here?
Onee-chan left me with a very important task!
Oh, I see. Well, good luck with that.
Hey, don't! Right now, Onee-chan is...
trying on the underwear that Tsukasa-san lent her!
Was everything okay?
Look out!
Whoa!
Man, that was dangerous.
But it's all okay now.
Senpai, just for future reference,
may I ask what exactly is okay now?
Tsukiko-chan's soft body is still a bit too much for a little boy.
I was able to protect Tsukiko-chan's honor
as well as a boy's purity... Huh?
I can't see anything. Actually, it's a little big for you—
I can't seem to remember the last few hours...
I thought I saw something smooth and flat...
Whoa! A giant rat?!
Oh, it's you.
Tsukasa-san? Didn't you go to sleep?
As soon as I changed into my pajamas, I was wide awake.
And there's something I wanted to finish by tomorrow.
Those are pajamas?
Um, this might be a weird question...
Do you have any family?
Why do you ask that?
Oh, uh... I didn't mean to intrude...
Well, I guess you'd want to ask after seeing how big this house is.
There were a few more people here in the past.
I even had daughters, two of them.
Before the family was torn apart, they were close to me.
Torn apart?
My husband died suddenly, and a lot happened since.
And, well, I sort of ruined everything...
So your daughters...
They're living in Italy at my husband's parents' house. But...
Tomorrow, they might...
What?
Nothing. Hurry up and go to bed.
Tsukasa-san still isn't up?
Well, her alarm clock went off a while ago,
but she hasn't gotten up.
Didn't she say she had important plans today?
Oh! Today's the day to measure my height, too!
Height?
Yeah.
Tsukasa-san measures my height once a month.
Our mother measured my height here...
Are Steel-san's memories wrong, after all?
A car? Maybe she has guests?
I'll go answer, so could you go wake up Tsukasa-san?
Understood.
Onii-chan, hurry! Hurry!
The guests are already here.
Munch.
Munch, munch, munch.
Th-This is...
Munch, munch, munch...
Could it be Tsutsukakushi from ten years ago?!
Pwease.
O-Okay...
Um...
Who's that?
Tsukiko!
S-Steel-san?!
Go back to the car, Tsukiko.
Okay.
Um... you're Tsukasa-san's daughters, right?
Who are you?
Hurry up and bring forth our mother.
I have the right to know why she broke her promise.
Promise? What kind of promise?
We have come with our grandparents all the way
from Italy so we can talk about a very serious matter.
But we waited at the hotel
where we were to meet, and she never showed.
Is this her way of implying that she doesn't care about her daughters?
Th-That's not true! You're thinking way too much about it.
Don't speak of things you know nothing about, peon.
If she truly cared about me, she would have
come running to see me at all costs, would she not?
It could be said that this promise is the litmus paper of her sincerity.
Her resolve should have been judged by the Tubercululin...
I'm sorry, what?
What do you mean, "what"?
Repeat after me. Treaty of Tordesillas.
Toruderinyaa Treaty!
Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte?
Suri wawaruikopra kotte...
There, there. I know that hurt a little.
So you act big, but you're really a spoiled baby.
How rude! What are you doing?
How dare you lay your filthy hand upon my head?!
You're vile! Shameless! Dirty!
But you were just happy... Right?
She looked really happy.
Shut up! Shut up!
How dare you assume that I took joy in that?! Blasphemy!
I cannot leave this matter alone.
Take that!
Ow!
What are you doing?
Didn't your mother ever tell you not to do things like that?
I have no mother!
Yes, you do! Right here, in this house!
That woman... that woman threw us away!
She has no right to call herself a mother!
You angry little brat! You don't know anything!
Tsukasa-san always...
Shut up! Shut up!
If she doesn't need her daughters,
then I'm just going to deny her, as well!
Take that!
You've grown quite a bit since I last saw you, Tsukushi...
I don't know you. I don't know you!
I don't know you at all!
Tsukushi!
We'll probably never see each other again.
Mommy...
Let's go.
I guess I deserve that.
Tsukasa-san...
You fail as a mother.
If you're a mother, if you're their mother,
you should treat your daughters as if they were precious.
They are precious to me...
Then, no matter what they say, you should go after them.
Show them that you love them.
H-Hey... let's not fight.
I'm sorry. I said too much.
No, it's fine.
Hey, little brat. Come with me.
Eh?
Um... Auntie Tsukasa?
I mean, right from the start,
they labeled me as a delinquent for getting married
because I got pregnant in high school...
I'm a boy... this is weird...
Their faces when we said we were going to elope...
It was classic!
All right, next is this, little brat.
I have to put on more?
We should probably stop her soon...
Eh? Tsukiko-chan?
My body feels hot all of a sudden...
Wait, what? Did she get drunk just from the smell?!
Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it was you, Yoto-kun.
You've grown big since I last saw you.
U-Um... Uh...
Did you grow up pure like I asked you to?
Wh-What are you doing?
There's only one thing you can do when you take off a man's clothes.
Tsukiko-chan?! Hey...
Yoto-kun is a nice-smelling person.
Um, are you okay?
I think you're mistaking me for someone else...
I'm not mistaken.
H-Hey...
You're my Yoto-kun...
Tsu-Tsutsukakushi?
My Yoto-kun that only belongs to me...
Lick.
Tsukiko-chan?!
As long as you don't turn into Hentai-san...
H-How is she so half-dead?!
I have to think of nothing... absolutely nothing!
But I'm a boy...
Those clothes are hand-made?
Were you planning to give them to your daughters?
Were you up all last night doing that, as well?
I'm just killing time.
Why did you let your daughters go?
If you... If you love them that much.
I was just going to hand them over for a little while... but,
things didn't go so well on my end, and it ended up being longer.
I was prohibited from riding on airplanes, so I couldn't go and get them.
Then, suddenly, his parents said they wanted custody.
I thought maybe that would be better for them, as well...
But I couldn't give them up...
and it all went to hell.
They don't want to see their mother like this.
Mo— Tsukasa-san, I'm sure they still love you.
If that even was true, I'm sure it only was until today.
You're drinking too much.
Hearing that from you is like hearing it from my own daughter.
I actually have something to tell you.
It's not too late to change things, so...
This is how it should be... It's too late.
Either way, there's no ti—
Tsukasa-san?!
She's burning up. Please wake up!
Tsukasa-san!
