In my earliest memories,
my home was my entire world.
My only acquaintance … was my owner.
Then I met Ojisan, Takahiro, and Kokone,
and before I knew it, little by little,
my world was expanding.
I stayed in Kamakura for two months.
I stayed and worked at a caféteria.
It went okay for my first job.
Is there a town down this way?
A town? There aren’t any that way.
Is that so?
Ah, hold on for a bit.
Here you go.
Enoshima is now a deserted island.
From there, I headed to the capital of the Kanagawa Nation as well.
The road was long.
So heavy …
Oh my! It’s delicious!
Before I set off on this trip,
I used to think that Asahina Pass bordered my hometown.
But I don’t think so anymore.
My world … keeps expanding.
It’s as if my feelings evolve into colors,
and fade … into the sky.
There aren’t any hotels around here.
What should I do?
I guess I could keep walking until morning.
Oji-san—!
Um …
Is that so?
Bad timing, huh?
Um, thank you very much.
Well, I’ll be heading back then.
Hey,
Alpha gave me her keys.
How ’bout you stay here tonight?
But …
It’s already dark outside, and you’ll have to go through mountain roads.
So stay.
Okay.
It’s the letter I sent.
No wonder.
Sorry for the intrusion …
Alpha …
I’m lost!
It’s so vast!
Can I help you?
Um, would you mind telling me where I am?
Why, this is Atsugi Airport.
Um, airport you say? Where planes land and take off?
Well, yeah. That’s what airports are usually for.
Then …
Will I be able to see airplanes and stuff?
Well, yeah.
You’re a robot person, aren’t you?
Yes!
The pilot on that next flight is my kid; a robot too.
The next flight?
It should arrive in about an hour.
Wanna wait?
Yes!
Hmm, it’s late.
Here it comes!
A customer?
No! Just looking around.
It’s amazing.
You think so?
Yes! Absolutely!
Um, what is it?
Are you a robot too?
Seems you’re one as well.
Um …
Are you male?
Yeah, I suppose.
You’re a female, aren’t you?
Y-yeah.
I suppose.
Excuse me!
Here. It’s dokudami tea.
Ah, thanks!
Hey, Nye?
Hm?
Sorry about earlier.
Earlier?
I always thought robots were all female, so …
I was surprised.
I’m used to it. I know a few robot people myself,
but I’ve never met a male one.
Does it make you curious?
To be honest, a little.
Male robots are weak, they say.
I heard they all died early on.
I see.
Are you sleepy?
Thanks for letting me stay tonight.
I was sure I was gonna have to camp out.
Nye,
do you know any places hiring?
Nope.
Makki, you know?
You’re heavy.
How rude!
You know, we haven’t seen Misago recently.
Why’s she naked?
I dunno.
Misago is … a robot person, isn’t she?
I dunno.
You know?
I want to go to Enoshima, or someplace, in the near future.
Don’t be silly. That’s far away.
I don’t mind if it is.
You can’t get there with a scooter.
We could borrow a car from someone.
Who’s gonna drive?
We can learn.
Oh, you …
It’ll be all right.
I wonder …
Where you are now?
But, by the time you read this letter,
you’d be back home, right? Alpha?
When you come back, I’ll be sure to …
It’s Mount Fuji.
I liked how it looked back when it was whole too.
But I prefer the relaxed shape of this Mount Fuji.
I’d like one!
Y-y-yes!
Just one moment please. It’ll be ready soon.
This area …
You know?
Yes?
It’s good for the eyes, isn’t it?
It sure is.
Here! Thanks for waiting!
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 every day, I kept taking detours.
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.
Thank you very much!
All right!
Time go back …
Yes … Back to my home!
