Really? So it was your mum who...
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
But...!
Don't get carried away.
You think a kid like you could be responsible for a crisis...
...that concerns the whole of Yunosagi?
You're giving yourself a little too much credit.
Tohru-san...
I'm sorry.
Episode 12
See You
Can't sleep?
You too?
I told you you wouldn't get any sleep on that chair.
You should take my place in the bed.
Ah, no, then it'd just be you and Minchi...
But Minchi might not mind that, so...
F-Forget it!
It's fine.
I think I'll sleep better here, anyway.
Tohru-san, do you have a girlfriend?
N-Not right now, but...
I guess not.
You don't seem to be very good with women.
But I think you're really wonderful.
So try to believe in yourself, and bonboru.
Y-You...!
Reception
Huh, I figured you were down about your mum,
but I guess it's boyfriend troubles?
I-It's not like that!
Th-Though maybe if I had made the right choice, he'd be...
...my boyfriend now, but...
Guess I was right.
I told you it isn't like that!
Why don't you believe me?!
You say that, but your face tells me everything.
I'm going to sleep. Good night!
I want to kidnap Matsumae Satsuki!
Huh?
She has no intention of going to Kissui Inn on her own.
So I'm going to bring her there, even if I have to force her.
Hey!
Take a look at this.
This is the building where she works.
If we consider her route from the station...
...it would be best to jump her in this back alley.
We have a car, and three of us.
As strong as she is, I feel we'll be able to subdue her.
So how about it?
"How about it"...?
Sure.
Thank you, Tohru-san!
I'll help, but on one condition.
You have to bring that Kouichi guy there too.
Huh?!
Tohru-san!
Those are my terms for helping with the kidnapping.
But...
Right, Minko.
Until she brings us Kouichi, let's do some sightseeing in Tokyo.
But our food...
Don't eat another bite.
We don't have to put up with bread that tastes like paper.
Tokyo is full of world-renowned stores.
It's equally important to train your palate as a customer.
Y-Yes!
The number you have dialled is not in service...
Kou-chan
I guess he's still mad at me after yesterday.
I don't know how I'm supposed to get him to come with me.
But I can't kidnap Mum on my own.
Wait, why was Kou-chan in his terms?
Now that I think about it...
No, you don't even have to think about it to see that it's fishy.
I couldn't get in touch with him.
I tried going to his job.
He wasn't there.
It can't be helped.
Y-Yeah, that's right.
I've done all I can.
Tohru-san will let it go.
Ohana-san, was it?
If you don't have any feelings for Kouichi-kun, set him free.
Set him free?
That's right: Set him free.
That makes me sound really creepy.
It's not like I really...
Well, I did try to kidnap him, but...
Quit muttering like that. It creeps me out.
Huh?
When I tell you to set him free, I'm talking about his heart.
Huh?
By the way, the bench we're sitting on right now...
...is where I confessed my feelings for Kouichi-kun.
That day...
Um... I'm sorry. There's already someone I like.
Are you dating her?
No, she hasn't given me an answer yet.
Huh? But that's so cruel!
I don't really think she's doing it intentionally.
I guess I've just chosen to wait myself.
But...
It's fine.
I'm used to waiting, and...
...I feel like she might get hurt if I don't watch out for her.
That girl.
You're being so selfish.
Ignoring Kouichi-kun's feelings.
I do like him, you know...
I like Kou-chan, too...
Let me guess: you don't like him as a boy, but just as a person.
Y-You're wrong!
Then how do you like him?
W-Well... As a person... As a living thing!
It's just like I said.
She...
What is it?!
N-No. I...
Hey, Igarashi-san, what are you doing?
Your break's over!
Ah, sorry, I'll be right there.
I'll leave the rest up to you.
But if you continue to trample all over Kouichi-kun's kind heart...
I won't forgive you.
Take a right just up ahead.
Right.
It's sort of like a date.
Wow!
Now, eat!
Here goes!
Hey, eat!
R-Right...
Don't leave a single grain of rice.
That fish was half-raw. I really enjoyed the difference in textures.
But taking into account the time to prepare it and the lost heat...
It hurts...
Throw it up!
Throw up and keep eating!
We don't get to come to Tokyo like this every day.
We've got to learn what really high-quality food tastes like.
Ohana's problem comes after.
The city where I used to live. And where Kouchan lives.
A city, devoid of excitement, that I used to hate.
She's a really good girl.
Being able to focus so honestly and purely on the person she loves.
It's kind of romantic, huh? Living at an inn.
If we were in a drama...
...the villain might be me.
Kou-chan
Hello!
Hello.
Sorry, I think I missed your calls.
I was asleep.
I'm glad...
I got a call from someone at work.
Eh?
You came by the book shop, didn't you?
Y-Yeah...
I guess I just sort of ended up there, and...
No, you just remind me of me, once upon a time.
Once upon a time?
I was over there during my holidays recently.
"Over there"?
When you were searching for someone at a wedding ceremony.
I thought I'd stop by Kissui Inn, but you seemed really busy.
So I... Huh? Ohana? Are you there?
A villain is cast.
Huh?
I have to bring my mum to Kissui Inn,
and I need to take you too.
Huh? I don't get what you're trying to say.
That's why I was calling you.
Even though you already helped me so much then,
I immediately came to you for help again.
I thought I'd give it my all. That I'd bonboru.
But all that boiled down to was me only thinking about myself.
I didn't think about the people rooting for me, and looking out for me...
I'm so terrible. So you don't need to come.
I don't really understand, but okay.
I won't come.
I'm sorry.
See you later.
See you.
No matter how horrible I've been, Kou-chan's been looking out for me.
But even though back then I said... I said...
"See you later", he only ever said "see you".
Did he mean there wouldn't be a later?
I can't cry. I'm not the one who really needs to cry.
I'm not the one who...
Bonbori...
I threw up.
Well done.
Next up is sushi.
Yes!
All right!
Ah, when you said sushi...
Here you go.
What should I go for next?
Does it make you nervous?
Knowing that Ohana's with another guy?
It hasn't even been half a year, but it already feels so nostalgic.
I hated this city.
Except at this time of year.
I feel like I'm being led forward into the future by a light like a bonbori.
It's not just me. So many people have their own bonbori.
Kou-chan... And Mum... They all must have their own bonbori.
I hurt Kou-chan.
But Kou-chan bonboru'd for me.
I was hurt by Mum.
But Mum was bonboruing too.
Everyone's walking on, led by their own feelings.
Desperately trying to shine.
Come on! Come on!
I'll get you this time!
That's right. Just a little more...
Grab hold of the tag on it...
I have to ask him.
If he gets that stuffed toy...
Right! Slowly, slowly...
If he gets it, I'll ask him how he feels about...
Here goes...
Damn it!
Hello?
Ah, Minchi?
Ohana! How'd it go?
Is Kouichi...
Huh?! You're giving up?!
I can't get Kou-chan to come with me.
And I didn't think about Mum's feelings at all, either.
So...
Hey, Ohana!
Where are you now?
Any bags?
Just those.
Wow. You could practically open your own store.
We're taking them as souvenirs.
Um... Sorry for suddenly changing my mind like this.
We're going to see your mum.
Huh?
I was really on-board with the kidnapping plan.
Even if we're not going through with it,
I won't be satisfied until I have a word with your mum about Kissui Inn.
I assumed I was the only one bonboruing again...
Huh?
It's nothing. I understand.
I'll show you the way.
Um... It's that building.
Ohana-chan!
You're a bit late today!
What's with the suitcase?
Huh? Are these people from Kissui Inn?
That's lucky! I didn't know they sent people to meet you.
You told me you were taking me back with you, right?
So I took an early holiday.
Figured I might go and see some hot springs.
Huh?!
Hey, you've got pretty good taste!
Ah, I can get you tickets to their concert through my company.
Seriously?!
No fair!
You always said no when I asked you.
Yeah, but now I'm on holiday.
Yunosagi's a good place to cool off for a few days.
What was the name of that new hotel, again?
The Yunosagi Cirrus?
That's right!
It's really popular. Heard you can't stay without a reservation.
Pretty sure you wouldn't have that problem at Kissui Inn.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Don't tell me you took a bribe from the Cirrus to write that article?
It doesn't matter, does it?
It does so!
Didn't you want to have a word with her, Tohru-san?
Y-Yeah, well...
She's coming to Kissui Inn, so we'll sit down later and-
Good idea!
Let's sit down and have a few drinks together, Tohru-kun!
Maybe he's into older women?
Or...
...maybe it's just her family.
Oh yeah, Ohana. Did you see Kou-chan?
Kou-chan? You mean Kouichi?
That's right. He's Ohana's boyfriend.
H-He is not!
Hey, this is a good one, too!
Minchi, thanks for everything.
As thanks, I thought I'd give you-
It wasn't me.
It's all thanks to Tohru-san.
Tohru-san's much nicer than I thought, isn't he?
N-No, it's not...
I take that back!
He worked hard, but not that hard...
Want one?
I'm a chef, so I don't smoke.
So serious.
Why did you decide to come to Kissui Inn?
Huh? I already told you.
That was a lie, wasn't it?
You're only a few years older than Ohana, aren't you?
You're pretty grown up for your age.
I wonder...
Ohana really had a go at me.
It brought back memories.
Of when I said exactly the same things to my mum.
You don't understand at all!
You only ever think about work.
I've been holding back this whole time, but...
Don't fight!
Though to be fair, Mum's job is a lot less dirty than mine.
How did you feel writing it?
An article slamming the place you grew up in.
I don't make a habit of lying when I'm writing articles.
The place really is stuck in a rut.
You shouldn't write an article when you haven't even been there in years.
It's not like it will have changed.
But we're always trying to reinvent!
That's right.
No matter how pretty something is on the outside,
what matters is what's on the inside.
Showing care toward the customers, and not taking basic courtesies for granted.
You're quite right.
Mum was always right.
I think Ohana's got it pretty good, you know?
Having a mum who isn't always right is kind of nice.
So you mean...
Tohru-san.
Ah, shall we get going?
Yes.
Ohana's pretty weird, though.
Can't believe the first words out of her mouth were about Kissui Inn.
There was a much bigger thing I expected to be blamed for.
I expected her to ask me why I didn't get in touch...
...after giving up on eloping and coming back to Tokyo.
Yeah, guess you would.
I've been drifting around all these years,
but I finally feel like I've calmed down a little.
And just as I was about to get in touch with her,
she appeared on my doorstep.
Ohana, want to come live with me again?
She's asleep.
That's why I said it.
Why did I never think that I wanted to go back to Tokyo?
Kou-chan's in Tokyo...
But even if I go back to Tokyo, things won't be the same between us.
They won't be the same.
I can see my dreams just within reach
yume o miru sukoshi te maede
I wonder what was left behind?
oitekita mono wa nan dake
I don't want to forget, but...
wasurete shimaitaku wa nai kedo
...it's been so long
toki yori gutto
All that's left on the edge of my memory...
kioku no somi ni kabu noha
...are nothing but the faint flowing colors of sepia
fuwari bon yaketa sepia iro
In front of my eyes, on the other side of my present days...
me no mae wo fusagu hibi no mukou
...they are gradually flowing away
sukoshi zutsu tooku
Why am I so short of breath?
daitai nande iki o kirashite
It must be because I'm running
hashitterun darou
I will continue picking up speed...
SPEED agete yuku no
...afraid of stopping
tachi tomaru koto ga kowakute
My heartbeat quickens as you reach it
hayaku naru kodou ni fure
How else can I know you're here?
koko ni iru dou kashikame ka?
The tiny flame deep within my heart..
kokoro no oku no chiisana
...begins to rely on you a little at a time...
kouen ni kimi o sugashita wa
...in anticipation of a world with clear skies...
zutsu mikomu sekai ga hare
...in the boundless tomorrow.
hirogaru yo ashita e
Don't think you can just start acting like my mother at times like these!
You'd better show me what's so great about this inn.
Mum's bonboruing too!
I had a dream.
You're pretty light, Mum.
