O-Okay.
Please do the best you can.
So, she's already at the station.
Oh crap! She's coming!
S-Stay calm... S-Stay calm...
Landlady!
Nako, you are to serve this customer.
How can you let Nako handle someone this important...
One of your regular customers is coming today, right?
But...
Ohana-chan is related to her. Why don't we let her try?
That's ridiculous.
Then how about yourself, Landlady!
That's also ridiculous.
I would most likely become furious upon meeting her.
Geez, why did Ohana-chan have to invite an enemy to come?
She's an important customer that Ohana-chan brought for us.
Y-You're right.
She's still our customer, after all.
Kissui Inn will simply serve her as usual.
I'm just not sure how I'll react.
Landlady!
There she is.
What a trip!
Thanks for the ride, Tohru-kun.
My pleasure.
Wow, nothing's changed.
Or, I should probably put it this way. It's aged terribly and worn out.
There you are, Mum. You haven't changed, either.
Or, I should probably say, you've aged a lot...I'll skip the rest of my sentence.
Thank you very much.
Wow, and you too, Young Master!
Man, you've grown a little bit, haven't you.
Come on.
L-Let me guide you to your room.
All right, all right.
P-Please wait, ma'am.
Mr. Beans!
The aura that she has is so...
She's...
Welcome home.
Thank you.
Hey! Where's Ohana-chan?
Episode 13
Shijima's Daughter
~Broken Heart MIX~
So, nothing's changed about the design of the yukata here, huh?
Nowadays, a lot of places let you choose your own yukata.
Well, I do believe you should keep your customer excited.
P-Please have your tea.
I guess you could put some more work in here, too.
For example, you could do something about the fruit you serve.
This area is known for its yuzu.
A waitress can even use this to start a conversation with her customer.
U-Umm...
Ah, I'm talking to myself too much. That's probably a habit I got from my work. Sorry 'bout that.
Not at all.
Huh?
You've got...
Yes?
...such beautiful eyes.
Geez, can't you calm down a little bit?
No way! How on Earth am I supposed to calm down!
Tomoe-san, you don't understand! You can't imagine how horrible Nee-san can be.
As her younger brother, I had to do all of her homework during the summer break.
She took all of my New Years money!
I see. No wonder you're into rude girls like Takako-san.
I-It's not like that!
Nako-chan!
How did it go?
It was wonderful.
She gave me so much advice on how to run the inn better.
Advice?
Right. She talked about yukata and tea snacks...
Wait a sec...
Stop.
What do you think that will achieve?
Well, I'm taking the advice as if it were suggested by any customer, not Nee-san in particular.
Why do you do that to me!?
Ohana-chan, you work so hard.
I can't believe you've started working. You just got back.
Just got back...
Huh?
Nothing.
I just got back. Within a second, I'm back to the regular me.
I was holding a placard in Tokyo.
I was with Kou-chan in a family restaurant.
Those weren't the regular me.
I've already got used to this place.
Hey, waitress!
There's a place I wanna visit! Come with me!
W-Why me?
It's scary to climb up a slope with high heels.
Your customer needs you. How can you just leave her alone?
There really is nothing here, huh?
Anyway, there's a festival called Bonbori Matsuri that's celebrated in this area.
That's my favourite thing about this place.
They say that your wishes will come true. I can't help but believe it.
Have you heard about it?
Not really.
Why don't you wish to make up with Kou-chan?
W-W-W-W-
I was right, wasn't I?
So he really dumped you, huh?
D-DUMPED!?
Don't worry. There are plenty of other guys out there.
You're a little bit dumpy, but you're still my daughter, so you should still...
This is exactly the wrong time...
This is exactly the wrong time for you to act as if you're my mother!
I'm leaving!
Stop, Ohana.
Why?
I came to check out this inn because YOU recommended it.
You get it, don't you?
You can't be depressed just because you got dumped by some guy.
You've got to show me how great this inn is.
I guess he really hurt her.
You can't be depressed just because you got dumped by some guy.
I got dumped by some guy.
I was dumped.
Really...
So this is what it means to be dumped?
What's going on?
I failed.
Tohru, please prepare the dashi.
Yes sir.
Smells great!
Is it the season for smelt-whiting? Or tempura?
You probably find it funny that everything is still the same.
Hey, don't you know that predictions come with expectations?
Please, don't try so hard to break my expectations.
Which means, you need to surprise me in other ways.
Like, getting a few different types of salt for me.
It would've been better if she just didn't like anything at all.
But...
I failed too.
Ah, the bath isn't ready yet.
I knew you guys would still be so strict about this.
You should let your customer decide when you should be cleaning.
The greatest thing about a hot spring is that you can just take a bath whenever you want to.
Am I right?
I failed.
Her neck was so sexy...
That's where you failed!?
I agree, she's not an easy customer.
But, I find her great, after all.
Right.
The basic of cooking wasn't wrong either.
Totally different from Takako-san, who was brought by our young master...
Did I hear anything about Takako-san coming?
Die.
Wow, that's gonna be great.
As long as Takako-san's here, we'll figure out a way to handle Nee-san...
I can't believe you are still thinking about relying on other people now!
This is not only Kissui Inn's problem. It's Shijima's, our family's, problem!
She's my daughter, but she's still a customer.
That's why I decided not to serve her myself.
If I become too emotional, I'm afraid I won't be able to do my job.
What if Mikasa-san's daughter was here?
Well, I would definitely prepare two bath towels.
How about his wife?
She likes hot tea, so I would try to use hotter water.
Exactly.
When encountering a first-time customer, you need to learn about their preferences.
This way, you can satisfy their personal needs when they pay a second visit.
But the customer we have now is and is not a first time customer.
We two know this customer very well.
Landlady...
So similar.
Huh?
I mean, she and the landlady are so similar.
Really?
I get it.
They're very different types of people, but they both seem to be right in some ways.
I kinda get it.
You're praising her too much.
Even though I'm the owner of this inn, it's ridiculous for me to do any cooking.
I'm well aware of this, but may I have the use of your kitchen for shirt while, Ren-san?
Landlady?
Nakochi.
Ohana-chan.
Would you mind if I prepare the futon for the customer staying at the Fuji Room?
Huh? Not at all.
Oh!
Why?
You're back to your regular self, Ohana-chan.
Great.
My regular self...
Excuse me.
I've been waiting!
Wow, that's delicious.
Thank you very much.
They really put a lot of work in it.
Don't tell me this is...
Yes. This is our special dish for you.
Chikuwa is too plain to be served in an inn.
Ah, umm...
I can't believe they would cook my favourite dish for me.
Mr. Beans, I need the bath. Can you please leave for a while?
Ah, all right.
No need to leave.
The customer is about to come.
Please keep cleaning. Don't worry about whether she's there.
B-But!
Wash yourself in the kitchen if you don't want to be watched.
OKAY!
The sheet isn't dry yet!? Why?
I can't believe she can't sleep without holding some rolled-up sheets...
Then I'll hold you between by legs when I sleep tonight.
Please ask your boyfriend to do that for you.
How can a daughter say that to her mum?
Mum. I feel you're more like "a woman" than "my mum."
Don't be so cool...
What else?
Let me see. I should give her three morning calls.
You're right.
She's bad at getting up early. What's more...
...she tosses about in bed!
Right.
Nights can get cool here even in the summer.
Let's serve her rice porridge for breakfast.
Okay!
Besides that, maybe we can also serve her some vegetable juice.
Wow...
I've never talked with the landlady for so long.
It's also the first time we talk about my mum.
The owner is also my grandma, so of course, she's also my mum's mum.
I will get it.
Hello.
Wha-? Mu-? Are you calling from Fuji Room?
Can I get some Sake? Make it warm, please.
Ah, and three beers.
And some soft drink, please.
Ah, geisha too.
G-Geisha!? Well, I'm afraid it's too late for us to...
Then, can I get an old lady and a little girl to come?
Please.
Excuse me.
There you are!
Have a seat.
Excuse me, but we still have work to do...
Don't be so strict.
Here, have some.
So fast!
Bravo!!
This girl has only had juice and she's drunk.
That's because she clings to false impressions too easily.
I-I knew it.
Right, right.
What did you know, Ohana-chan?
I knew Kou-chan was important to me, but...
Geez, why didn't you just tell him...
I was dumped by him just as I realised that I love him!
What are you talking about?
How can a Shijima girl give up after just one rejection?
What? Mum, don't tell me you actually pushed really hard to get Dad!
Of course.
He was so stubborn that he said no to me four times.
No luck till the fifth time!?
You're cool!
NO!!!
I didn't give up.
I just don't want to think about him any more!
I don't care about Kou-chan! He's got his own life to live!
Then, how about coming back to Tokyo?
You can be part Kou-chan's everyday life again.
No!
No, no, no!!
I also have my life to live!
I still have my own life at Kissui Inn.
So after all, you're choosing business over romance.
Such a Shijima girl.
You don't follow this rule very strictly, though.
Ah, you really said it.
Mum, you're also being so frank!
I knew both mum and grandma were being frank to me.
Fr-
I'll be fine without Kou-chan...
You know, parents can't let their kids discover that they're trying hard.
I didn't hear anything.
Ah, you sure drink a lot.
Have another one.
What's going on?
Do I look like I'm doing some extra work?
Well...
Nothing's changed.
About Satsuki-san?
And Mum. And me.
After all, I'm always the one left out.
I can't.
Such a boring guy.
What? That's it?
I can't believe that's all you can drink, Mum.
C'mon, Mum.
You'll catch a cold.
I'm dreaming.
I-I'm having a dream.
You came here. Ohana's also here.
I'm always the one doing this.
Don't say that.
Are you okay?
Umm.
Mum is so light.
Don't make her worry too much.
I don't need you to tell me that.
Good night, then.
I didn't hear anything.
Please always be my annoying Mum.
Thanks a lot.
Ah, before I forget.
I promised I was going to do this.
Just come back when you really can't stand it any more.
Again! You're just picking the worst possible times to act as my mother.
Come on. Just lemme be cool at the very end.
Mr. Beans, take care!
Take care.
T-Thank you very much!
Hey, what's the letter about?
Please read it to us!
Please, please!
Okay.
Live your ten years as if it were one day. It doesn't sound so hard when you talk about it.
But it gets stagnated if you don't keep changing.
In order to act as if everything's the same, you need some serious changes.
Kissui Inn is improving all the time.
The staff definitely has the spirit to keep the same level of service.
You're keeping a great inn. I enjoyed my stay here.
She's...
...Praising us.
Very highly.
R-Right!
Nee-san.
Mr. Beans!
All right, all right, all right.
I kinda got it after Mum's visit.
Since I came here, I've been missing Kou-chan,
but I've never thought about returning to Tokyo.
I'm not returning to Tokyo. Not because I can't get back into Kou-chan's life.
It's because my life exists here.
It's me, not anybody else, who chose to live this life.
I like the Kissui Inn.
I like everyone working at Kissui Inn.
I like Grandma, who's the landlady. I like Mum too.
I like Kou-chan too.
Bye.
Kou-chan!
Kou-chan, sorry for everything.
Thanks for all you've done for me!
Bye!
Right!
I can see my dreams just within reach

Ready!
Watch out! I've got my swimsuits that I used for the competition!
You'll confess to her, won't you?
What, Ohana-chan? You want to be a waitress?
I don't really understand Yuina-san.
