Please take care.
Thank you very much.
I told my mother... that she failed as a mother.
Even though she loves me and my sister very much.
I forced my ideals of a mother onto her,
just like my sister did when she was a kid.
And now Mom is...
I think you're being too hard on yourself.
You, your sister,
and Tsukasa-san...
Outside the Memory with the Hentai Prince
Tsukasa-san has always been physically weak.
That's why she couldn't go to Italy
to see her daughters, apparently.
And when the flood happened two years ago,
some bad bacteria got into her,
so she might not have much time left.
She would have been fine if she ran,
but she didn't want to leave the house
she lived in with her daughters.
Tsukushi... Tsukiko...
When I first met Tsukasa-san,
she had just been separated from her daughters
and seemed really lonely.
So I thought it'd be nice...
if Tsukasa-san could, at least, smile a little bit.
But I can't make Tsukasa-san truly smile...
Why... Why can't I do anything?
Is it because I'm a kid?
Maybe if I were an adult, I could make Tsukasa-san smile...
Could I, Onii-chan?
It's hard to make girls smile when you're older, too.
But...
Make sure you never make a girl cry.
If there's a girl crying in front of you, help her.
Even if you can't make her smile, your feelings will be understood.
Okay!
I know I'm not in the position to say those things,
but I think it's okay to try and act cool in front of your past self.
I want... to make girls smile, too.
Stop dragging your feet! Let's go!
What is it, Tsukiko?
Mommy...
Who cares about her?! Come on!
We're going back to Italy!
Wait!
Y-You...
How did you know we were staying here?!
Adults know everything.
Munch, munch, munch...
More importantly, I have a favor to ask you.
Tsukasa-san wants to see you.
I thought I said I'd never see her again.
You didn't really want to leave like that, did you?
There's no way Tsukasa-san doesn't love you guys!
Even last night... despite her not feeling well,
she stayed up all night making clothes for you guys.
I-It's too bad, but our plane is departing soon.
My grandparents will be here soon, as well.
I don't have time to play your games.
Come on, Tsukiko!
Tsukiko?
Mommy.
Tsukiko...
Let's go!
H-Hey!
Hey, Tsukasa-san.
Come on, stay still.
You don't have any marks for your daughters?
No.
I wasn't able to do anything for them...
I wanted to, at least, leave them something.
Tsukasa-san!
Is there something I can do for you?
Tell me! I'll do anything!
You're just a kid.
Don't think you can actually do something for an adult.
Tsuki... ko.
Tsu... kushi.
Food!
Food! Yay!
Yeah... That's definitely Tsukiko-chan.
Your little sister ran off.
What's wrong?
Do you have to go potty? Want me to help?
What?! How dare you, you insolent man?! Shameless!
Is it all right for me to set foot in this house?
It's not like my mother ever sought me out herself.
I haven't seen her in four years.
Of course it's okay.
Tsukasa-san has been waiting for you all this time.
People can say whatever they want with words.
If she wanted to see us all this time, she could have.
And yet...
Senpai! Senpai!
Some weird child came into the kitchen.
I was trying to make some porridge,
and she was munching away next to me.
Who is she?
I guess you don't recognize yourself.
Nee-sa—
So you came, Tsukushi-san.
Your mom will be really happy.
I know.
How about we take those off before seeing Tsukasa-san?
Huh?
Senpai, depending on the situation,
I might just have to pick you up in ten years.
N-No.
I just want Tsukushi-chan
to wear the clothes that Tsukasa-san made for her.
And there we go...
Th-These kind of clothes are not my style.
But they look really good on you.
Tsukasa-san will be very happy to see you in those.
B-But...
Look.
She wouldn't have been able to make all
of these clothes in a day or two.
She's been dreaming of the day she'd see you...
And thinking about you this whole time.
Onee-shan!
Mother.
Mom...
Mommy!
Mom?
Is it my fault?
Is it because I threw that stone
and it hit you in a bad place?
No, that has nothing to do with it!
Then she'll get better soon?
Why are you staying quiet?
If it's not a wound, is it an illness?
Then I will take care of her!
I won't go back to Italy!
Then she'll make a full recovery, right?
Right?!
Otherwise, I came back to Japan for no reason...
I haven't even played with my mother since I was three.
I want her to praise me more!
I want her to scold me more!
I want her to teach me my studies more.
I want to live with my mother much longer...
If I have faults, I will fix them. I won't be a picky eater anymore.
I'll exercise. I'll even take care of my little sister...
So...
So please...
I want more memories with my mother.
Onee-shan.
Tsukiko...
Crybaby.
You act all high and mighty, but you're a crybaby.
You had said all those things about Tsukasa-san, but you're a crybaby.
How dare you?
I hate crybabies.
I hate kids who act all high and mighty, too.
I hate Tsukasa-san's kids even more.
Don't say you hate me!
I hate you for saying you hate me!
I hate you, but...
I love Tsukasa-san more than anything in the world, so...
I'll grant your wish.
Besides, if there's a girl in front of me who's crying,
I have to help her.
Right?
Did you know? This house has a cat god.
Tsukasa-san told me about it before.
The cat that pulls you in and the cat that delivers.
The cat that pulls you in will bring you whatever you wish for,
but gives it to you only in ways that you didn't wish for.
But the cat that delivers
gives something you don't need to someone who needs it..
I think it's a good thing that
something of yours ends up being useful to someone else.
What are you...
You want memories of Tsukasa-san, right?
Then I'll give you mine.
I've had plenty of them.
B-But then, what about you?
It'll be a little lonely, but the past doesn't matter to me.
Cat god, I ask of you...
to give all of my memories to those who need them.
I see... that's why...
I don't remember anything because I gave away all my memories...
But...
This is wrong, Senpai. This isn't right.
You shouldn't have to lose your precious memories for our sakes.
We can still change things. We might be able to fix things.
Senpai.
It's fine, Tsutsukakushi. Let's leave Steel-san's memories as they are.
But then you'll...
Let's go back, Tsutsukakushi.
No!
We're going back, Tsukiko-chan. The wish...
No! I will not cancel it!
Let's go home, Tsukiko. The wish is canceled!
Why? I didn't cancel the wish yet...
The past is mine alone.
Then I can always be your number one, Senpai.
I wanted to remember... for Tsutsukakushi.
Tsukiko, I'm sorry.
This was my wish.
Huh?
Wasn't there...
Are you okay, Tsukasa-san?
Of course I am. I won't die just yet.
Mommy!
There, there... You've gotten so big.
M-Mother...
M-Mommy!
I'm sorry for making you feel so lonely.
I won't leave you two ever again.
Okay!
Come on, you, too.
Huh? It's okay?
Who said anything about it being okay or not?
You're on this side, too, right?
Yeah!
Hey, once you're better, Tsukasa-san,
let's all go to Italy together.
Who knows when that'll be?
I-It can be whenever! I'll wait forever!
Even when I'm an adult.
Then, let's pray to the cat god.
To be able to go to Italy once we're all older.
I understand now.
The fact that I'd met Steel-san when I was a kid,
and the fact that I'd met Emi before...
I still can't remember it well.
Even if I remember meeting or talking to people when it happens,
as soon as it becomes a memory, I forget it...
That was my wish to the cat god.
Then... the night
I met you wearing a mask...
No...
This isn't...
This isn't fair.
Why... Why...
Why...
I'm sorry.
Oh, you're back.
Tsukasa-sa—
You were pretty late.
Oh, it's just you, Nee-san.
Wh-What do you mean, "just" me? You in a rebellious stage?!
Where did you find that costume?
Oh, I found it while I was searching for more memories of our mother.
In the end, it's memories that matter most.
Be it a costume, scratches on a pillar...
There's no way to fake such vivid memories.
The four of us are a family, after all.
Four?
Well, of course. Younger brother of Yokodera.
You have been on our side for quite a while.
Yeah...
I will keep talking to our grandparents until they understand.
Yes, that is best. Yes, yes.
I wonder how many times I've worn this now?
These marks will always be here.
Even if I forget them again someday.
I don't know how to feel right now.
You gave your memories for me, my sister and my mother.
But you'd forgotten about your memory with me.
I should be thanking you,
but there's a part of me that just can't be honest.
I'm a terrible child.
I'm sorry...
You have no reason to apologize, Senpai.
I understand everything,
but I can't seem to come to terms with my feelings.
But I've decided on one thing.
I won't go to Italy or anywhere else.
If I leave... If I become a memory, you'll forget me.
I don't want that to happen.
But...
I don't want that to happen, either.
I don't want to make you into just a memory.
I want to keep building on our feelings together.
No matter what happens in the future,
I will always be by your side, the one most precious to me.
Anyone...
Anyone can say words.
As your number one,
I believe the number one should get something special.
Huh?
There are some things that need to be expressed in actions, not just words.
Uh...
Um...
A few days later...
Yokodera!
Good morning, Azuki Azusa.
You're early.
You're like a rooster at dawn.
Well, it is the amusement park, after all.
Well, it is a date.
Everyone's together, so it'll be fun.
It's been quite a while since I've been to the amusement park!
Captain! I'm here at the amusement park alone with the Captain!
Why did I have to come along with the pervert and his gang?
Oh? Is that a canteen?
Did you come here in the mood for a super happy fun picnic?
Of course not! Don't touch me!
All right, Yokodera (younger brother).
Let us ride those roller coaster things.
H-Hey!
Get away, you pervert! She'll get pregnant from your arm!
Come on, Tsutsukakushi-san. Let's go.
Glance.
Is something wrong?
No. It's just that you look like you're having fun,
even if it's not just with Senpai.
Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun.
Did something happen?
I had this dream...
A dream? What kind?
Oh, um... It's not a big deal...
And it happened a while back.
Is it such a good dream that it puts you in a good mood
every time you think of it?
Yep! It was a dream... I think it was a dream...
But I had my first kiss.
Every time I remember that dream,
I feel like I can do my best in all sorts of things.
It might have just been a dream, but with my Yo—
Eh?
It's nothing.
I see, I see.
Now, let's go! Everyone's already gone!
It's totally great that Little Bean made friends.
But it seems a bit, like, complicated.
Hey, Yaji-san!
Yaji-san!
Hey, you guys.
Have you seen a rabbit about this big?
No, totally didn't see one.
I see. Thanks. Yaji-san!
Like, what rabbit?
The girl who lost her expressions,
and me, who lost his memories.
No one knows what kind of future awaits us.
It might be a big, sticky, hellish mess.
To make someone happy
might not mean you're making everyone happy.
But even so, I don't want to make girls cry.
No matter what.
This is the first time I've
ridden a ferris wheel alone with another person.
It's a lot of fun, isn't it, Senpai?
It's your first time?
My beloved, refreshing Irish author Oscar Wilde once said:
Men always want to be a woman's first love -
women like to be a man's last romance.
It's not refreshing at all when you say it, Senpai.
And I don't get it.
In other words, the fact that this is your first time
on a ferris wheel with me means this is my first—
Senpai, Senpai.
That.
Ow...
Senpai, I had been seeing you in a new light recently,
but to use a rabbit for a scheme like this...
According to my secret information source,
you have done some indecent things
with Azuki-san in her dreams.
Uh, well, this is a coincidence,
and that was inevitable, and this and that...
Do you have any objections?
No...
Then I shall deliver your verdict.
You are, to the very last second
of the very last cut of the very last episode...
A Hentai-san, Senpai.
