Kokone, you once said of Musashino, where you live,
it’s flat, all the way to the horizon.
I think I understand what you meant back then, Alpha.
When I ride around here …
… It’s as though a part of my body I’ve never used before …
… is opening up; I get that kind of feeling.
You see that body of water?
It’s the edge of a winding valley,
where seawater flowed in.
I always come here by myself.
When I’m here,
I think about various things, or nothing at all.
Alpha,
we’re made up of sounds and scents,
and not in the figurative sense.
I know.
This café … is getting old and run down, isn’t it?
Paint, huh …?
Paint is expensive though …
Owner …
The customers aren’t coming …
It’s time for the evening weather forecast.
I am flying above the center of typhoon Mei Hua.
We, the reporters at Hamamatsu Weather Attack,
will bring you information on this typhoon faster than anyone else.
According to the weather meter we dipped below,
the presure at the center is 905 hectopascals …
The wind speed is 10 meters per second …
… speed of… that is all for…
Oji-san!
Just in case … why don’t you bring just your valuables and stay at my gas station?
Umm … me?
That’s right.
Yes.
Well, I’m gonna go take care of my house.
Thank you so much.
My house … I wonder if it’s all right?
The windows … they might break.
And the shutters …
Ah! I left the sign outside!
I’m starting to get worried!
I hope the typhoon goes away soon.
Typhoon Mei Hua, which landed from the Shounan area,
passed over the plains …
and through the nation of Ibaragi, into Kashimanada.
There seems to be substantial damage in all areas,
but we don’t have the details yet.
During this typhoon, our team …
Sorry to keep you waiting.
This isn’t bad.
My café …
It put up a good fight, I think.
It’s pretty worn down as it was.
You were surprisingly calm that day.
I was impressed.
I was in a total panic until you came.
For a while …
It was quite …
I was crying.
I see.
You can still keep the café going for a while,
as long as it’s sunny.
Um, how has Takahiro been?
Ever since then …
Well, it looks like he took it pretty hard.
To have the scenery he grew up with disappear like that,
it must have been a first for Taka.
I think … I’ll be away for a bit.
Gonna find a job elsewhere?
Well, kind of.
I want to see things,
take a break from routine.
I think I’ll wander around.
I see.
Well, be careful while you wander around.
Yeah.
And …
Someday, I’ll definitely …
rebuild my café!
Would you like another cup?
Yeah, I’ll have one more.
Alpha, aren’t you taking the scooter?
No. There might not be gas stations everywhere I go.
So I thought I’d ask you to hold on to the scooter until I come back.
I’m not sure if I can … ride it.
I think it’ll be easy for you.
You’re about as big as I am now.
See?
Next time we meet, you’ll probably be taller.
I’ll drop by later to ask you how to ride it.
Wha …
Sorry.
Just let me …
… awhile.
Wandering, wandering
I’ve been away from home
How’ve you been?
Sorry I haven’t kept in touch.
I thought it was going to be a short trip,
But I kept taking detours daily.
Long way home
I’ve been searching
For the place I belong
Long way home
I’ll probably be
Heading south tomorrow
Wandering, wandering
I think I’m getting closer
A lake shore, in the forest
The world is a sunset behind
Long way home
It’s so wonderful
To have a place to come home to
Long way home
What I realized
Was something as plain as that
Long way home
I’ve been searching
For the place I belong
Long way home
All the pictures I took
I’ll show them all to you at once.
Takahiro!
Oh, Makki.
Hey.
Want some coffee?
Sure!
Here.
What? Your leftovers?
Shopping?
Yeah, and look!
Let’s swim.
It must be cold now.
No problem!
Takahiro.
Are you worried about Alpha-san?
Just a little.
