I hate this city.
I hate my house.
I hate my parents,
and I hate being scolded by them.
I hate being scolded during my free time even more.
I hate it.
Everything should just be destroyed...
or at least that's what I used to think every day.
As the report suggests,
a giant earthquake has struck the Kantou region at approximately 3:46PM today.
The epicenter has been traced to the northern part of Tokyo Bay,
some 25km below sea level.
The magnitude of the earthquake,
or the unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of seismic energy released, is estimated to be 8.0.
Please be wary of any aftershocks and tidal waves that may follow.
Onozawa.
Mirai Onozawa.
Here.
The next person is... Kato.
Here.
Hiroko Kato.
Hiro!
Let me see it when you get it!
Kubo.
Here.
Mayumi Kubo.
How are your grades?
They're rock bottom.
Oh well.
Join the club.
I can't show my grades to my parents either.
They're pretty strict about grades, so I might not even get to go anywhere for summer.
You're so gloomy, Yuka.
No parent actually hates their child, you know.
Mine do.
So you're going to the Caribbean?
Yeah, we want to just relax this year.
Which summer house will you be staying at this year, Risa?
The one in Canada.
Daddy built a log cabin there.
Wow.
Oh yeah, do you want to come over today?
Mom's baking soufflé for us today.
Yeah, I'll come.
You're so lucky that you live so close to the school, Megu.
Where are you going for summer break, Onozawa?
Oh, we don't have anything planned.
I see.
You should try going somewhere cool then.
I hear it's going to be really hot this summer.
Yeah.
And now for your summer assignment.
I want you all to imagine yourselves in ten years
and write a "future report" based on those thoughts.
Please think about it carefully during your summer break.
See you!
Bye bye!
Bye bye, later!
What does she want us to write again?
A "future report"?
I don't know what to write...
You can just go with pianist, can't you, Yuka?
I like playing the piano, but it's actually pretty hard to keep up with.
But at least I have something I like.
You said it.
I don't really know what I like or even what I want to do.
Me neither.
Do you guys want to stop by Shibuya before going back?
Sounds great!
What about you, Mirai?
I can't.
My parents have work today, so I have to stay home with my little brother.
Summer break starts tomorrow.
I'm not exactly looking forward to it.
Do I want to do anything?
Not really.
Oh, I should cut my bangs since they're getting annoying.
That was hilarious!
Oh my.
I don't really have any dreams for the future,
but I don't want to grow up and become someone like that.
Whatever I become ten years from now won't be like that, right?
Yuuki.
And then..
Onee-chan!
That's the cellphone alien?
This is the first time I've seen one.
She'll get angry real fast if you say that.
What did you tell him?
Oh it's you, Onozawa.
How are you liking middle school?
It's nothing special.
I'm sure there's something interesting about it.
There really isn't.
What are you guys doing, Sensei?
Oh, Yuuki asked me to help.
We brought the horse chestnut tree Dad gave me to school since it can't really grow inside our house.
Sensei said we could plant it over there.
Oh yeah, you should help too, Onee-chan.
What?
Good idea!
Right?
No.
Geez, it's all muddy!
Doesn't it feel good to break a sweat once in a while?
Not at all!
I guess it can finally grow now.
Yeah.
Thanks, Itsuki.
Let's come back during summer break to water it.
Sure.
Let's go home, Yuuki.
Okay.
Weren't we going to play soccer after we planted this?
Oh yeah.
Geez.
What's with those two?
Mirai?
I didn't know you were home.
At least say, "I'm home."
I thought you were a thief trying to break in.
I'm heading out now.
I have clients waiting for me.
There's cake over here.
Just announce it to the whole world, will you?
I've got to get going, so give Yuuki a slice when he comes back, okay?
Aren't you going to have some?
I'm on a diet, you know.
This is a triangular cake!
You should have gotten a round one!
Huh?
Oh yeah, Mirai.
Bring in the laundry for me, okay?
It looks like it's going to rain today.
Don't forget to wash the dishes when you're done eating the cake too.
Oh, and be sure to answer the door for the delivery man and the people from the co-op.
Don't forget to put perishables in the fridge right away!
I'll be back by seven, bye!
Have your report card out too; I'll be looking at that later.
You expect me to remember all that?
What's that?
It's for Mama.
For her birthday.
"Dear Mama, happy birthday!"
That's pretty average.
Just average?
Not that I really care about it.
What are you going to give Mama?
N-Nothing, really.
Do you want to give this to her together, then?
You're the one who drew it, so you give it to her.
There's cake.
You want some?
Yeah!
It's good!
It's just average.
I wish Mama could have some with us.
"I've got to get going."
"So give Yuuki a slice when he comes back, okay?"
"I'm on a diet, you know."
You sound just like her!
Come on, do it again!
What's wrong?
I guess you're still just a kid, Yuuki.
Man, I wanted a round cake...
How could she not know that cakes need to be round?
This is really awesome, Onee-chan!
Hold on, I'm super busy right now.
There you go with your cellphone alien again.
I'm home!
It's pretty cool inside the house.
Welcome back.
Where's Mama?
She hasn't come back yet.
I see.
I'm going to take a shower.
Did you know today was Mama's birthday?
Oh, really?
That was refreshing.
Come on, there's stuff all over the floor.
Clean that up.
So, our summer break starts tomorrow.
Ah.
Don't save your homework until the last minute, okay?
What I'm trying to say is,
aren't we going to go on a trip somewhere or something?
We haven't been anywhere recently because of entrance exams the last few years.
You're right.
Why don't you ask Mama then?
I don't want to.
She always gets angry over the littlest things.
Well she is busy right now.
We'll see once she's able to take a break from work.
I'm home!
Welcome home, Mama!
I'm home.
I forgot to buy milk.
Welcome back.
Where's dinner?
I'll warm it up for you right now.
It's past eight.
Well it's not like I can do anything about it;
I'm working too, you know.
Well, I was just thinking that the children might be hungry...
That's why I'm on it right now.
Could you two cut it out?
And stop using us as an excuse, Papa.
What are you looking all depressed for?
I couldn't give her the present.
You're too nice to Mama and Papa.
For a kid, that is.
You're a kid too.
You want Papa and Mama to get along too, don't you?
After all these years?
I'd say just let them do whatever they want.
What are you doing?
Nothing!
My parents saw my "Future Report"
and lectured me, saying that I need to go to college first.
My parents lectured me too, telling me not to skip my piano lessons.
This sucks.
What do I want to become?
I don't have a single clue about my future.
It's hot.
Good morning.
Yeah.
See you.
I'm leaving!
Please, Mama!
Don't be so selfish, Yuu.
I have work, so I can't take you.
Then can I just go with Onee-chan instead?
Just the two of you?
What?
A robot exhibition?
It's going on at Odaiba, apparently.
Could you take him there for me?
I don't want to go to a robot exhibition.
More like, why do I have to look after Yuuki?
I —
Why not?
It's summer break.
You didn't want to go to summer school,
so you've got nothing to do, right?
Fine.
I'll take him, all right?
I'll take him.
Onee-chan, look at the bridge!
Yeah.
We came here before, right?
Look at it!
Geez, fine.
We will be approaching Daiba.
Daiba.
It's Odaiba.
We're getting off.
Huh?
Let's take the bus, Onee-chan.
We only got off at the station before Odaiba because you kept saying it was Odaiba.
Just deal with it.
It's hot.
No, it's not.
It's hot!
Come on.
This is what you wanted to see?
Yeah.
Did you not want to come?
Don't worry about it.
Let's go.
Look, Onee-chan!
You can touch them!
It's so cute!
Ball! Shake!
Shake!
They've got controllable ones over there!
These robots are equipped with a crawl function;
they can move around using four legs.
Each of the four legs absorbs the bumps in the ground,
thus enabling them to safely maneuver through the rocky terrains of crisis zones.
Utilizing their maneuverability, they can work with rescue teams
and use their radar to locate trapped civilians...
This is awesome!
You try it too, Onee-chan.
It's pretty quick!
You shouldn't be so rough with it, Onee-chan.
It'll be fine.
How long are you going to hog that thing?
Could you hurry it up?
Thanks.
Say, Onee-chan.
Why don't we go buy a present for Mama together?
I'm good.
If she had come with us, I wouldn't have had to go through all the crummy things that have happened.
They always try to take advantage when it's just us kids.
But...
And... I don't have money.
I have some!
Which one should we get her, Onee-chan?
How about that one?
That one's pretty popular.
Oh, really?
I guess something like this wouldn't be bad once in a while.
Sorry, did you want this by any chance?
No.
I'm sorry about that.
Here. I think this is a little too flashy for our grandma, so...
It's okay.
Just take it.
It's fine, really.
W-What about this one, Onee-chan?
This one looks nice, too.
Are you getting it as a present for someone?
Yeah.
It's Mama's birthday.
That's so great.
I'd definitely cry if my daughter gave something like this to me as a present.
Thanks.
I hope your mom likes it.
There's a lot of people around today, so be sure not to get lost, okay?
See you.
Don't treat me like a kid.
Let's get this one, Onee-chan.
Mama likes flowers.
Do whatever you want.
I need to go to the bathroom, Onee-chan.
Just go.
Hold this for me.
Oh, buy me something to drink while you're at it.
I'll be waiting outside.
Yeah!
It's so hot.
Come on!
Would you not stand around in front of the entrance?
Geez.
Why do annoying things like this keep happening?
Bad things keep happening day after day...
Seriously?
Yeah, I'm not joking.
What's with that face?
I wonder if anything good's ever going to happen in my life.
I'm sick of it all.
Everything's such a hassle.
Everything should just be destroyed.
An earthquake?
No way...
Yuuki.
Yuuki!
Magnitude 8.0: Tokyo was destroyed.
