Things have sure been crazy lately.
Yamada ended up being the one Yamada-san had been searching for,
and both were using fake names.
It's been three days since then,
and Yamada...
has been at my house.
Takanashi-san, bring some tea!

Runaway Teens A Dangerous Trend
Highschooler (15)
Highschooler (18)
Hey, Yamada.
Yamada would like cold tea.
Ep 7
Goodbye Girl (Yamada)
Yamada.
What? They were just getting to the good part.
It's a special exposé on teenage runaways.
Teenage runaways!
They should really just go home.
You're one to talk!
Yamada didn't run away from home.
You're not fooling anyone with that.
You let Yamada stay here, so Yamada thought you were on Yamada's side.
No, I'm not!
I only brought you here so you didn't run off somewhere.
I'm doing this for your brother too.
You're friends with that thing now?
Absolutely not.
Come on, Yamada.
Tell me why you ran away from home.
I may be able to help.
Takanashi-san...
Stop being so nice. It's creepy.
Why, you...
Kozue-neesan, you say something too.
I don't see what the problem is. Besides, she's cute!
Yamada is the Takanashi family's mascot character!
There, there... Say "ah."
Ah...
That's a good girl!
She's more like a pet than a mascot.
Sheesh. I give up.
More importantly, listen to this teenage runaway.
No thanks!
Long black hair, straight bangs in the front.
An extraordinarily cute little girl.
The girl had a kind mother and father, but a worthless older brother.
She was pretty happy with her life.
But then her father died one day.
This got heavy, suddenly.
Her mother was never the same after that.
She stopped talking, always looked grim, and forced Yamada—
I mean, she forced the girl to study all the time.
Um, I-I'm sorry.
I failed all of my entrance exams.
The girl became scared of studying,
and grew to hate the books that her mother forced her to read.
M-Mom, I can't read a huge book like that.
You must.
She was so scared.
Go home for now.
Souma-san protected Yamada because he knew about this?
Even so, the girl stayed strong.
But then something intolerable happened.
Nothing good happened today,
so let's eat some special natto!
It wasn't great.
-Your big brother.
It wasn't great.
-Your big brother.
It wasn't great.
-Your big brother.
It wasn't great. Your big brother.
So she decided to run away from home.
That's it!?
Yamada-chan, you poor thing!
You can join our family!
I will!
Takanashi Aoi...
I'll be family with everyone else here, too!
I can't say anything about her home life,
but it was such a small thing...
What should I do?
Takanashi-san is moved by Yamada's past.
I'll follow Souta's decision,
so if he wants to take Yamada home, I'll cooperate.
I still feel sorry for her home life, but it was such a small thing that caused her to run away.
Both of them are moved by Yamada's past.
So it seems a lot happened with her mother.
Even so, I still think she'd be better off going home...
Yamada refuses to return home.
...but she's being stubborn.
I see.
Well, we know the full story, so let's get back to work for now.
Yamada won't budge an inch.
Yamada is planted in this chair!
No, get to work.
You heard him!
Is it really okay to leave Yamada-san like that?
It would be nice if we could get her to go home on her own.
You're right. I'll see what I can do.
Um, Aoi-chan...
What?
Uh...
I'll start with something unrelated.
You know, Kyouko-san—
Yamada, run for it!
Huh? Aoi-chan?
What should we do?
If her mom is out of the question, maybe we can make her miss her brother.
I see! Kirio-kun, right?
Yamada escaped danger with Yamadash.
Say, Aoi-chan.
Kirio-kun is a good big brother, isn't he?
How so? Please explain it in a way that Yamada can understand.
L-Let's leave Yamada-kun himself aside.
Big brothers in general are nice, don't you think?
They're reliable and kind.
Don't you think, Taneshima-san?
Yeah, they're great. Older brothers are great.
They support you when things are tough.
You're right. Big brothers are wonderful.
Souma-san really is the best!
Her fake big brother...
That's right.
The other day, Souma-san saved Yamada from that creep.
"That creep"...
He was like a knight in shining armor.
He actually loves Yamada, doesn't he?
From now on, he'll always protect Yamada from that creep.
Souma-san!
Huh?
Souma's not in today.
Souma-san!
What if that creep comes back while he's gone?
Look, when you were locked out of the restaurant that time,
you cried for your mom, remember?
You actually want to go home, don't you?
No.
At the time,
Mama mia!
I was actually calling out "Mama Mia!" in exasperation.
Now you just sound like an idiot.
Anyway, Yamada isn't going home.
So you can drop it.
What's wrong, Yachiyo?
Oh, we're trying to convince Aoi-chan to go home, but it's not working so far.
I see. Got it.
Yamada.
What is it?
Go home.
She cut right to the chase!
You too, Manager?
That's mean!
Everybody's trying to kick Yamada out!
Aoi-chan, that's not it!
Yamada-san.
Otoo-san?
You were here?
Yeah.
Well, calm down and have some tea.
You always leave straight away to continue your search for your wife, so why...
I'm worried about you, so I'll hang around a little longer this time.
Worried?
Adoption Papers
Everyone else is, too.
No one's trying to throw you out.
They're just worried about you.
They are?
Just because someone says things you don't like,
it doesn't necessarily mean they don't like you.
Really?
Really.
Then everyone likes Yamada?
I think they do.
Is Yamada an idol?
Uh, yeah.
She's getting a bit carried away.
Thank you, everyone!
Yamada now knows you've been acting out of consideration for her.
You understand now, Aoi-chan?
Yes.
Yamada... Yamada...
loves all of you!
So Yamada is never going home!
Yamada won't budge an inch.
We're back to where we started.
Well, I'm going to work.
Later!
See you later!
How long is Souta's and Nazuna's friend going to stay here?
Does it matter? We have a spare bedroom.
That's not my point.
We shouldn't be letting someone else's kid stay over this long—
Oh, Kazue!
Minegishi-chan!
Hi. Your screen door was unlocked.
That's careless.
Naughty.
That's trespassing!
Aoi-chan! Aoi-chan!
Y-Yes?
Are you waiting for someone?
No, Yamada wasn't...
A-Actually, Yamada is waiting.
Waiting for customers.
Yamada is full of enthusiasm!
Aoi-chan...
She must be waiting for her family to pick her up.
I'm worried about Aoi-chan.
I think she should just sit down and talk it out with Kirio-kun.
But who knows when she'll have the chance.
He's here!
Hey there, elementary schooler!
I'm not in elementary schoo—
What are you doing here?
Oh, well, I wasn't able to bring Aoi home the other day, so...
I see. He's worried about her.
Besides, since finding Aoi,
I haven't been able to flirt with the other girls here.
Huh!?
Kirio-kun, talk to Aoi-chan!
Nobody likes how things are right now.
You're pretty thoughtful for an elementary school student.
I'll ignore that for today!
I've been thinking about why Aoi ran away from home...
and I figure it has something to do with our mother.
After all, I'm a perfect big brother.
Kirio-kun...
I heard the real reason Aoi-chan ran away was because you ate her natto.
He doesn't remember...
Natto... Huh?
W-Well, let's set that aside for now.
Did you tell your mother you found Aoi-chan?
Of course.
And she said...
Leave her be.
Well, that's pretty much what I was expecting her to say.
Really? Y-Your mother's pretty cold.
You and Aoi-chan aren't like that at all.
Our personalities are indeed pretty different.
She's emotionless.
Like a robot, huh?
S-Sorry. I went too far.
Secret Mom Manual
I do have a manual for Mom.
Secret Mom Manual
A manual!?
Secret Mom Manual
It's a secret manual I got from my dad.
Maybe if I read it...
That's it, Kirio-kun!
Aoi-chan and your mother should really talk to each other!
Bring her to the restaurant!
Mom?
Yeah!
I wonder if it'll work.
Um...
Is your mother a cyborg or something?
Well, I dropped off the other main assistant nearby.
Oh, that woman...
That's right.
She hasn't been herself lately.
Kikuno-san, maybe some tea would help your mood?
Here you go.
Oh, you made some for me, too? Thank—
She also threw heaps of documents in my face,
and destroyed her computer.
And I got blamed for all of it.
So cruel... So cruel...
I don't deserve such a reward.
Masochist.
She must be exhausted from working with you and my mother.
I feel sorry for her.
That's not it.
Kikuno-san went off the rails after her daughter ran away from home.
Welcome.
But I heard she found her recently,
so I dropped her off at the family restaurant she's been working at.
M-Mom?
Aoi-chan...
What am I doing here?
Damn it, Aoi! That substitution technique!
Then this is...
Yeah. Our mom.
H-Hello.
N-Nice to meet you.
She's an executive assistant...
for your mother!
What!?
That's Yamada-san's mother?
Are you sure it's okay to run away?
Yamada doesn't want to talk or listen to her.
Then it's a good thing I accidentally planted a bug on Takanashi-kun.
Now we can hear everything they say.
Souma-san, did you do that on purpose?
It was an accident.
Whether it was an accident or not, bugging someone is illegal!
N-Nice to meet you. Thank you for helping my mother.
I'm her son, Souta.
Um, Yamada is staying over at my house.
She gets along really well with my sisters.
And helps out, in her own way.
Th-This is totally one-sided, Katanashi-kun!
You're her son! Help me out here!
Takanashi-kun is looking to me for help!
I'm touched!
Right now, Mom's thinking...
"Thank you too.
Your mother is always so kind to me,
and to think that her son has taken in my daughter...
I don't know how to thank you enough.
I really appreciate it.
I'll thank you properly at a later date."
That's the long and short of it.
You have to decipher it by her expression and her eyes.
That's impossible!
See, Mom's really bad at talking.
Bad at talking?
She has so many thoughts to express that she ends up with a bottleneck.
Having so much on her mind has given her a gloomy expression.
Back when me and Aoi were younger,
Dad even had to use ventriloquism for us to converse with her.
"Bad at talking" is an understatement.
Even when Aoi failed those entrance tests.
As a mother, I have to comfort her,
but I don't know what to say.
I was thinking of her when I made her take those tests early,
but it's only made her lose her confidence.
It won't good for her if she hates studying because of this.
For now, I'll find some study-aid books that will help her.
It went like that.
It sounds like Aoi-chan is incompatible with her mother.
So you understand your mother, Yamada-san?
He said there's a manual.
What?
This is the Secret Mom Manual that Dad left behind.
Secret Mom Manual
A mother who needs an instruction manual.
But Aoi should have one, too.
Yamada... Could it be...
Yamada hasn't read it!
Yamada did receive one, but thought it was another study-aid book.
Yamada, you've been waiting for your mother to pick you up, right?
Y-Yamada already has a mother who is kinder
and doesn't need an instruction manual...
Then tell your mother that.
I can't be that cruel...
You're mean, Souma-san.
Yeah, I am.
Yamada can tell her! Yamada will tell her!
Yamada-san?
Yamada!
Aoi...
Yamada...
Yamada created the ideal family at this family restaurant,
so she doesn't need...
yo...
Yamada... Yama...
Where are you going?
Yamada!
W-Why...
Yamada?
That's the first word out of her mouth?
Oh. What's wrong?
M-Miss...
Don't cry.
Yamada...
Yamada's lost!
I'm lost, too!
Don't cry, Miss!
I see.
You forgot to read your mother's instruction manual.
Yamada thought Mom didn't understand anything about her,
but Yamada didn't understand anything about Mom, either.
Yamada is a failure as a child.
If Yamada can't be a child, where does that leave her?
A Yamada who's not a child...
Yamada has become an adult!
How amazing!
Yamada's grown as a person!
Good for you!
Will you go back home to your mother?
Yamada has a feeling that wouldn't change anything.
It would be like two ships passing in the night.
Two ships...
Half of my life has been spent passing my husband like that.
Half of your life? Th-That long?
That's right.
Life is about passing by each other.
That's why we're so happy when we stumble across one another.
When you say it, it really has weight.
I haven't been lost for half my life for nothing.
It'll be okay.
You're a wonderful girl.
You really think so?
Yes. If you can become friends with a random passerby,
you can become close to your mother.
R-Right.
Yamada is a pro at being friendly.
Yamada will get along with Mom. Wait and see!
Yamada has to go back to apologize to Mom.
Will you come with me, Miss?
Sure.
Mom...
Mom?
A...
A-Ao...
I'm sorr—
Mom, I'm sorry I made you worry about me.
Will she be okay?
I just hope she doesn't get all stubborn again.
But I wonder if Aoi-chan's mom will be able to find her on her own.
Special missions like this are part of Mom's duties!
She'll find Aoi in no time.
Special missions?
Takanashi, what kind of work does your mother do?
Well, I haven't heard anything of these special missions.
I hope it turns out all right.
Her mom went to pick her up.
Yamada-san isn't that dumb.
Souma-kun, you really are like Yamada-san's big brother.
Nah...
The real one...
They're back!
Thank goodness...
She's back!
H-Haruna-san!
Darling!
Ahem. Thank you for all the help.
Yamada is going back home!
