There's a word missing.
What?
It's missing?
Yes.
I wonder why nobody's noticed until now.
Sasaki, please check the vocabulary list just in case.
Okay.
That meaning of "course" is on the list like it should be.
Let's insert it and adjust the number of columns.
My big concern here is if there are other missing words.
Stop everything we've been doing.
We're going to restart the fourth draft from the beginning.
Let's check all 240,000 words one more time.
The Great Passage
On a quiet dreamlike morning
The crimson sky shines through the window and reflects off my pen
In the vivid clatter of the night, I wander between cities like a cat
Deep thoughts
A flexible conception
Foreseeable aspirations
Distant memories
Unruly hair
A narrow mind
A large circle of friends
A long silence
A short greeting
Tone of voice
The light in our eyes that slightly differs
Traces of friendship that's not in the treaty
In the ocean that sweeps the sand of eternity
Swept and sunk in the waves with sparse opposites and similarities
Clashing and exact opposites become resolved and connected
Reference
Conclusion
I'll gather words
that have
scattered
over
many
months and years
With the fragrant sea breeze, the connection that rests on the seashore becomes one
Pride
What we're asking you to do is extremely vital for The Great Passage.
I'd like you to keep that in mind while you work.
Team,
this is going to be quite an undertaking.
But no matter how many days it takes, it's something we must do.
Please, I need your help to ensure The Great Passage
is a ship without any holes.
All right, let's get started then.
We're making sure the words on this list have all been entered in the proof sheet properly.
Okay, I understand.

Whoa, you've already done that much?
How can I increase my pace?
Don't talk to me right now.
Oh, I'll get it.
Yes, this is Genbu Publishing's Dictionary Editorial Department.
Oh, hello.
What?
Yes, one moment please.
Majime.
Yes?
It's Mr. Matsumoto's wife.
Apparently, he's in the hospital.
Huh?!
Which hospital?
Sakazaki General Hospital
Araki is getting the room number.
I've noticed that Mr. Matsumoto's lost some weight recently.
He has.
I heard you hired some temps to go over the fourth draft one more time.
Yes.
Majime, is it going to be all right?
It'll be fine.
I thought so.
He's in room 203.
Does he know?
No.
Probably best not to tell him.
We don't want anything distracting him from his health.
Yes.
All right, let's go.
Matsumoto
Yes.
Pardon me.
Oh, look who's here.
Mr. Matsumoto.
I'm sorry. I know you must all be busy.
It's nice to see you again.
These are his favorites.
Oh, thank you so much.
That's very considerate.
I'm so sorry you've had to come all this way.
Please, don't mention it.
How are you feeling?
Oh, I'm doing pretty well considering.
No, sir! You can't push yourself too hard.
I think my wife overreacted when she called you.
I'm only here to get some tests.
But this is a good opportunity for you to take things slow.
But we're so close to being finished.
It's so disappointing.
How is The Great Passage coming along?
It's coming along great!
I heard you almost got the book binding designed, right?
Yes.
Is that so?
I look forward to seeing it.
In any case, I can't believe you're still collecting vocabulary words so soon after being hospitalized!
It's part of my life now.
Of course it is!
I look forward to reading them later.
Actually, I've run into some quite interesting words.
How long do you believe these tests will take?
I actually don't know.
I haven't even been told how many days he'll be kept here.
I see.
But he looked well enough.
We'd love to have him back after a little R&R.
Yes.
This might be a good opportunity like you said, Araki.
As you can see, Matsumoto is a man who doesn't know how to take a break.
Yes.
Please, don't worry about him and just focus on your work.
I'm looking forward to The Great Passage's completion as well.
Thank you very much.
But please, if you find out anything...
Of course.
I'll give you a call.
Thank you.
Please take care.
Teach me!
The Dictionaries!
What's everyone doing?
We're drawing figures to accompany the definitions.
What?
Won't photographs be more accurate, though?
Of course, there are some dictionaries that use photographs these days,
but drawings are still more common.
Really? Why?
That's because it's easier to explain the distinctions!

And not all words are things that exist in the real world.
For example, kappas.
Kappas?
What?! Kappas aren't real?!
What?!
Are you okay?! Hold yourself together!
Kappa.
Kai's in trouble so close to being finished!
Are you sure it's not some mistake?
Great.
Could you take this next?
I didn't know there were still so many left.
Don't worry. We're making good progress.

But it's still pretty overwhelming, isn't it?
Don't let that bog you down.
Let's just work hard.

Oh, sorry.
Good work today!
I've brought food!
Yeah!
Eat up!
You too, Sasaki.
I can't focus anymore.
Then take a break!
Okay.
Feels nice, doesn't it?
I guess.
Okay, who asked for laundry?
Come on up one by one.
Okay, coming!
How are you guys doing?
I've really picked up the pace.
Me too.
Everyone's gotten so much faster.
I'm super-fast now.
I see. Good.
I'll allow you seconds, then!
Yes!
Thank you very much!
Majime.
The world is losing the words...
Majime!
It's no use.
Majime!
Yes?
We might be at our limit here.
Some haven't been home in a while.
This is just dropping our productivity.
You're right.
Let's send everyone home tonight to rest.
I think that'd be best.
I'm home.
Hi there, Tigger.
Good morning.
Welcome home.
Good to be home.
Here you are.
I've missed your cooking.
Are you getting enough to eat?
Yes.
You have to make sure you're eating properly.
I know.
We still have more work to do.
Okay.
Yesterday,
I went to visit Mr. Matsumoto at the hospital.
And?
It seems he'll be discharged over the weekend.
Thank goodness.
How was he doing?
I don't know.
He was smiling.
But sometimes he'd look really tired.
I see.
I wonder how old he is.
He hasn't really visually aged these last 14 years.
That's true.
I would believe it if you told me he was 90.
I'd also believe you if you told me he's 68.
That's true.
Perhaps dedicating your life to something frees you from the world somehow.
You know, that applies to you too.
You don't change either.
Nor do you.
You haven't changed since the first day I met you.
Good luck at work.
Thank you.
How is it, Majime?
I think it's a very good design.
All right!
This means the other departments will go into action.
I look forward to your support.
I thought you'd enjoy it, Majime.
It truly is wonderful.
I'm finished.
There are no issues.
Ye—
Not yet.
No issues here either.
We're in the clear.
Which means we've finished checking everything.
Good work, everyone.
Yeah! It's over!
Thank you.
We did it.
Good work.
Thank you so much!
Majime!
A job well done!
Yes, and you as well.
At first, I thought it was really mundane.
But it was actually fun.
Is that so?
Please contact us if you need any more help.
Me too.
Of course.
Good work.
I'm heading out now.
Good luck with the rest.
Thank you.
We were truly blessed by a great staff.
It's not over yet.
Yes.
Good work!
Careful on your way home!
Right.
Thank you!
Good work, all of you.
I heard from one of the temps that there weren't any other missing words.
That's great!
It's proof that your hard—
What, Nishioka?
You haven't been around at all lately, so what do you want now?
What? Come on, Araki!
I've been working my butt off for The Great Passage in my own way.
I have the proof right here.
Ta-da!
It's The Great Passage's new mascot.
His name is Kai!
Pretty cute, right?
Yes, he's so cute!
What the heck is this?
That's rather tasteful for you, Nishioka.
Not you too, Sasaki! You're all so mean!

"Hey, it's a full moon tonight"
I tell you softly as you sleep
Your gestures, attitude, and way of life
Mean so much more to me than any word
So please stay the way you are
I & I = You & I feel it
Here with you, forever by your side
I've loved you
Since the day we met
What a beautiful day.
Grandma, sit right there.
What's gotten into you?
Let's take a picture of all of us.
Hurry up, Micchan.
Okay.
