Just forget about it, Matsumoto
Teacher will remember this affair of yours
Just let go of her memories with ease
Aki... Hirose...
What kind of a person was she
Sorry
I learnt from Uncle and Auntie
Some matters regarding you
Regardless of whether it's Kazuki, or my job
I've been deeply indebted by your kindness
I hope I can be of some help as well
On my way home from the rice store There was a stretch of up slope
I always wished there was someone to help me carry the rice
Then the weight can be lighten by half
What nonsense am I sprouting?
Kobayashi
Thank You
On the night I saw Kobayashi's petite frame seemed larger
I finally mustered the courage to bring out
the chest hidden beneath the cabinet
After Aki passed away
I've always been afraid to open this chest
Afraid that I would return to the past
But, the reunion after 17 years
Was more peaceful then I thought
This is the 1 st in my life time
That I want to mention Aki's matter to anyone
You really want to go back by boat?
It's all because our prince wants to take the cruise ride
Will you stay here a while longer?
Wait for me to finish scattering the ashes
True?
That...
Regarding what you asked yesterday
I don't know where to begin
No...
It's because I've never mentioned it to anyone
Then start from the most happy times
Happy?
That Island is called Island of Dreams
I'm afraid I can't narrate it well
Don't worry about it, Saku
This is the first time you called me "Saku"
You do not wish to narrate the story as Matsumoto
But as Saku right?
I feel I was led by my hand into starting to narrate the story
That's an uninhabited island
telling the story of the one I love
I can't shake the memories of 17 years ago
That foolish me
I wish to let this person in front of me understand
Because I hope to once again hold another person's hand
To live out my own life
"Crying out, in the center of the world"
You're feverish, are you tired?
I'm a little over the limit
What's that, a bruise?
I don't know
Do you still feel you bleed easily?
Last time I had nose bleed
Do you still black out easily?
Sometimes
But it's always under the sun
Let's do a blood test, just to be safe
Hopefully everyone will have a meaning summer holidays
The 3rd year students are making a final charge
The 2nd years are not to slacken either
Suke went over to his Tokyo girlfriend's side
The semester conclusion which even Aki was absent
Juliet's absent
Do we still continue with only Romeo?
Tomorrow's the start of the summer holidays
But we just can't lighten up Let me tell you
Did Ryuunosuke call you?
No
Saku, 2 days later I'll
Do you know why Aki's absent?
Listen well to me today Suke, you too
I wonder what that kid is doing
It hurts
It does?
Are you this bored with my absence?
In simpler words, she has a new beau
You didn't realized you were ditched and went to Tokyo
And still pretending to be this suave
You suck, you really suck
And you still have to cheek to come back
Oh really
And you still dare to admit it
Do you know my... our feelings about it
That's why I recalled about everyone
and decided to come back to you guys
Really, to have let you worried
No, In fact we weren't worried
Right?
Welcome back
I'm back, man
You'll have to apologize to Aki
Relax you legs
You're here to visit?
But there's still something I need to tell you
Suke's back from Tokyo
His girlfriend in Tokyo seems to have had another beau
So this is it
Because he has troubled everyone so as an apology
He's hosting a camp fire for everyone
Where?
Island of Dreams
Island of Dreams?
Island of Dreams should be Deserted Island right?
Original site for Holiday resorts construction
When, when are we going?
Should be 2 days later
Have to be 2 days later because of Monk
Really? Going to Island of Dreams?
You seems to be very delighted
That's because I've never had fun with everyone before
Really?
I've also never had buddies like Saku's gang
But is it alright?
I'll try my best to build up my health
Uncle seems very strict
I'll try my best to persuade him
I'm really looking forward to it
Great
Spending the night out is out of the question
Why?
It's a camp trip with the Athletics Team
I thought you withdrew from the team
That's why this is the last activity and also the end of the chapter
You better abandon the idea this time Aren't you still having a fever
It's subsided
If your health deteriorates during the trip
you'll give troubles to the others
True also, But...
No more buts, this is it
Camp trip? With who?
With Suke, and Monk...
Really only you couple of boys?
What's that suppose to mean?
The neighbors call you Gum Tarou
Why?
Because you are always stuck together
It's alright with you
but you must take into consideration that she's a girl
Don't do anything that worries her parents
I never did
You're not going to eat at all?
Can I go if I do?
The joint examination's next year I can't go for leisure then
I really hope to go out with the others
I don't wish to let my feverish daughter
run out to Deserted Island
You are too loud
Who do you approach for help if something happens
Pans, water bottles
Why aren't we bringing the tent
Isn't there a plan for the construction of Holiday resorts
There must be a half constructed hotel
So we don't need it
Heard that?
Even though there's place to sleep
It's still safer to bring blanket and pillows
You... are so capable
Oh yes, Suke Regarding the problem of meals
We can just catch a couple of fishes
Is only fish sufficient?
Then we'll just ask Tomoyo to prepare
Suke, have you contacted her?
Not yet
Are you serious?
Why haven't you told her?
Do you want to camp or not?
My apologies
Forget it, I'll tell her
I can't believe it
what's wrong with him, too much vigor
Let's leave him alone first Why must you insist on tomorrow
It's really great that you're back
Only you are willing to listen to my story
Let me tell you, tomorrow I...
Akiraryou
I'm won't go
Aki is really looking forward to it
She'll be the only girl if you refuse to join
Pardon me but I'm also a lady in full bloom
Going out with a bunch of boys will raise my parents objections as well
Saku, It's been a long time
Uncle
I wish to take Tomoyo camping tomorrow
Great... Bring her along
Marry her as well while you are at it
Get over here
In a word
That guy will also take special notice of me
I don't know how to face him as well
I hope to have some time to sort out my thoughts
Sorry
I will call Aki and tell her
Hello, This is the Hirose household
I'm Dr. Sato from hospital
Is Miss Hirose there?
She seems to have gone out
Is anything the matter?
I wish to speak with her regarding her daughter
Are you Aki?
No, I'm her sister
Can you please inform her to come for another examination tomorrow?.
Is something wrong with her health
No, It's only for precautions sake
But it's because there's something wrong
that she needs another examination right
It's also to expel the negative elements
Alright
I'm back
What's wrong?
Nothing
Welcome
Sakutarou
Akiraryou doesn't seems to be able to go camping
Ryuunosuke just called up about it
It seems that his father is taking him to Motoyama
What the...
Will it grow like that
It's hair
Once hair falls off, it can never be re-attached
That's why we can only let what's left endeavor
What's left
Hello, this is the Hirose household
Aki?
Saku
I've just deposited the tape into your postbox
With regards to tomorrow
I'm sorry, Saku
I might not be able to go
My fever is still not subsiding
Really?
Sorry, I'm really sorry
It's alright... There'll be other chances
You got to get well soon
Bye
How are you feeling
Frankly speaking, tomorrow's camp trip
Tomoyo and Monk can't make it
Actually we go together
But become this
Sorry
But I will still make the preparations
So that this trip will be even more fun
Even if Aki is still feverish
I'll still make 120% preparations
Just come and play
Saku
What's that, your phone call
What are you doing, Saku
We're going to dump you to have fun
Good Morning Saku
Sorry about the last time
It's because of me that you didn't get to compete
Welcome back, Ooki
You're saying the same thing
Same as who?
Sorry to keep you waiting
Mother, Sorry
Saku, you're opening a shop by the sea?
I forgot the fireworks
After I've made the room livable, I'll go into seclusion
Even you are going away
Don't you feel that this is a rare opportunity
That's right
The two of you will be on the island alone
I will put it under the pillow
Is this the hotel you were talking about?
It's eerie
Cave
This is a time mail box
Want to write a letter to people in the future?
It's something like the Time Capsule?
You just need to put it here
They'll probably send it out for you in a couple hundred of years from now
Is it serious?
It's alright
Aki
Recently you've been having dizzy spells
Quite frequently
Saku
I...
I can't wait to go swimming
Let Ooki do the cleaning by himself
It's alright
We've agreed that he'll doing the cleaning today
I better go give him a hand
You'd prefer to be with Suke
Saku
Let's go
Saku, hurry up
Jerk
You're going overboard
Saku, be serious
The tides seems to be rising
My dad discovered that I took the boat
I pick you up tomorrow morning Ryuunosuke Ooki
Saku...
Saku
Saku, check this out
Ooki went back
Forget it
I'll help
It's alright
But...
For god's sake, Stop cutting
This is ginger soup, you'll feel warmer after drinking it
You don't like it?
I love it
What's wrong?
Where's Aki, what's wrong?
She seems to be having fever again
Why's it not subsiding She's rarely has even flu before
She's asleep
I only want to put this inside
She'll be unhappy if you just go ahead in
Then find a chance and pass this to her
It's a book she might like
8 o'clock right?
Taste great, Saku
It's great
That's because grandpa always makes me bake fish
Grandpa's so noble
It really tastes great
Can we live like this everyday after getting married
Saku, Do you want to marry me
Aki doesn't have this in mind?
I'm only 1 stop in your life?
It's not that
It's just that before we get to this,
there should still be many procedures right?
Like things we want to do
Like a career...
I hope to produce picture books
You want to draw picture books
I can't draw
Serious?
But I think I can be an editor
I hope to go to different countries
To explore the legends, folklores and poetries of other countries
Is that strange?
No...
Sounds like thing that you'll do
is that right?
How bout Saku?
Don't you have any dreams?
I haven't really thought about it before
but recently I'm beginning to understand
why my dad wanted to inherit the photo shop
To keep the memories for others
Is a really blissful occupation
Is that too corny?
No... It's just like Saku's style
However...
If that's the case,
A monthly meeting will be all there is
Right
I'll only need to follow you around with a camera
But the photo studio and photographer seems a bit different
I like you so much, Saku
What's wrong
Let's do it
There's only one thing to do here
The Time mailbox
For the future Ms Aki Hirose
Let's see...
I'm calling you Hirose, But...
When the time comes, will it still be the same name
If it's possible I hope you'll change to Matsumoto
But, Aki's the only child
I've a sister
Then I'll change my name to Hirose
if only I can be like this everyday
and lead a carefree life with you
Aki
Your turn
Forget it
Did we scared you?
Scared to death
Who asked to to lie
You've already planned to move in this direction
Here, for you
For the future miss Aki Hirose
You recorded such an embarrassing speech
This is a very nasty thought
Saku
Do you believe in the existence of another world?
I'd rather believe there is
True?
How bout you?
I don't
Why?
I feel that it is concocted by people who are behind
People hope for the existence of that world
Aki indeed isn't the religious sort
But it'll be troublesome if god doesn't exists
How's that?
There must be controller of the fortunates and unfortunates
What does that mean?
The most fortunate people
might become very unfortunate
Regardless of what kind of a life
Don't you feel that at the end
there'll still be a returning point of fortunes
Do you mean that god is balancing that?
That's right
Saku
Saku, I...
What are you doing?
I just asked god to transfer my fortunes over to you
It's alright even if I'm unfortunate
Because you have more dreams you want to realize
I like you so much, Saku
Somethings ringing
Telephone
Aki, I really can't hear anything
Saku, Are you hard of hearing?
It's beautiful
Fireflies can only live for 7 days
I didn't expect us to witness such a sight
The chances are so slim
I'm so fortunate.
Why am I so fortunate?
It's so fortunate that
it make one think that somethings about to happen
Like someone falling sick
Or someone's dying
I really feel that somethings about to happen
It won't
Nothing's going to happen
Definitely not
I'm completely baffled by Aki's urge to cry
But the firefly that landed on Aki's shoulders
Disappeared unexpectedly
Maybe it was as fortunate
The Tape...
I think she probably place the tape into the time mailbox
If it were me, I would've hoped that you'd listen to it too
We're leaving
Kazuki, let's go
Saku's not leaving with us?
He's not Kobayashi
I'm really grateful to you
Mother, are you alright?
All he needs is 1 Aki
I think that there is a 99% chance that the tape won't be there
With this mentality in mind, I still came to the Island of Dreams
The undeveloped, deserted island
The level of eerie is still unchanged
It feels just like entering the world of death
For the future Sakutarou Matsumoto
Saku, I...
I understood that
So called fortunate is actually very innocent
Fortune means having you and me, right?
Must be each day that we spent together
That's why...
Aki
Hopefully from now till forever
will be like yesterday
Me and Saku
Going on hand in hand
Me holding onto Saku's hand
Saku holding our child's hand
Just like that
To walk on forever
Aki's voice seems hoarse and unbearable
That was the only sound that was left behind by the flow of time
No one listened
And unreachable to anywhere
And also a sound I wish to forget
Time slowly turns back
back to the time I kept reproaching myself
for causing Aki's health to deteriorate
Aki
Year 1987 I couldn't save the only one I love
Year 1991, the establishment of Japan's
