Make the impossible possible Kenta.
Draw out a miracle from inside.
Kazuo Nagata, the man who wishes to avoid the worst moment of his life.
He traveled in our mysterious wagon and went back one year in time.
Surprisingly, his same-age father Tadao, appeared.
Nickname, Chuu.
Chuu, who was dying back in the present,
was somehow led there with his vengeful spirit.
Wow, I was shocked.
That said, me and my son Kenta are ghosts who died 5 years ago.
While Kazuo has to deal with his father's strange existence,
he's also trying to fix his broken family.
Plus last time, Kenta went with them into the outside world.
Kiddo, what are you doing here!?
Maybe helping Kenta was also something they wanted to do.
Kenta saw the darkness in the heart of Kazuo's son, Hiroki.
You little brat!
This is what happens when you pick a fight like that, got it?
I'll kill you.
Stop it!
Kazuo learned that the real reason Hiroki was distressed
was due to being bullied.
Hiroki, I'll definitely save you, got it?
We're moving.
Hiroki can't go to the local public middle school.
He'll stop going to school altogether and he'll trash our home.
To protect Hiroki, Kazuo planned to move, but...
The future really can't be changed that easily.
All the offers he made were rejected and Miyoko finally snapped.
You'll never understand how I feel!
Not knowing what to do, Kazuo had given up.
"You absolutely can't learn to do new things once you're dead."
No matter how hard he tried,
Kenta shouldn't have been able to swing over the bar.
I did it!
But a small miracle changed fate.
Seeing that, Kazuo...
Let's head off.
Please wait.
I can't leave yet.
There's still things I need to do here.
I don't want to run away either.
Hey Kazu, what are you gonna do?
Hey Kazu!
Kazu, where are you going?
Kazuo!
I'm going to make a miracle happen, I'll change the future.
You're always like that...
You'll never understand how I feel!
I'm home.
Welcome back.
I can change the future.
I'll finish them, you take a break.
It's alright.
You must be more tired.
I don't want to be a man who uses work as an excuse not to do any chores.
Okay?
Leave it to me.
Move it.
What do you think about moving?
[TL Note: The Japanese school year starts in spring] I really want to move before spring for Hiroki,
but a normal purchase won't do, so how about your parent's home- [TL Note: The Japanese school year starts in spring]
but a normal purchase won't do, so how about your parent's home-
Hey, hold on.
If we moved to their house in Tochigi, what will you do about work?
That doesn't matter.
If it was for Hiroki's or your sake, I'd quit that job anytime.
Either way, I'd get a job at a local company...
Huh?
Anyway, just think about it.
I need to know why first.
Explain it properly.
Even if I did, I don't think you'd understand.
What does that mean?
Don't worry, just trust me-
How can I?
Sorry, but their house is small.
And my brother's family already live there.
I'm not feeling good, I'm going to bed.
And I'm meeting with a friend tomorrow.
Do you want to stay close to that guy that badly?
What will it take to move away?
How can I avoid Hiroki going to our local middle school?
Hiroki, what's up?
Um, hey.
Don't tell mom I'm being bullied.
I don't want her to worry.
She's been spacing out a lot recently, she seems exhausted.
Even Hiroki has noticed that?
But it's okay, I'll definitely get into that private school,
that will make Mom happy.
That's all.
Hiroki.
Yeah?
I'll take care of things with your mom.
Good luck on your entrance exam.
Thanks.
What am I saying?
Hiroki, forgive me for the fake encouragement.
I'll make sure you don't go to the local middle school.
Oh, Kazu's finally back.
The winner is Chuu!
Cheater!
Dummy, you looked away during a battle.
If this was a real sword, you'd be dead.
But I am dead.
I wonder if Mr Nagata will be okay.
Who cares about someone who just runs off?
You're not worried?
Not at all.
Chuu, how far ahead do you see?
Huh?
Into Mr Nagata's future.
Into Kazu's future?
Sometimes I see things which I haven't seen yet.
I'm not sure.
The only way to stop Hiroki from going to our local middle school is to move.
But no matter how many times I try to move, it'll probably never work.
What should I do to change the future?
You really don't know anything about your family, huh?
I found out what really caused Hiroki's suffering.
Now I just...
You'll never understand how I feel!
Until I figure out what she meant by that,
I can't fix things.
To make a miracle happen, I have to solve Miyoko's problem.
60,000 yen for this month's food expenses.
30,000 yen for the energy bill.
50,000 yen for other expenses.
20,000 yen for our cell phones.
Then the 40,000 yen tuition fee for Hiroki's cram school.
The usual amount.
Thanks.
If you want money to spend on yourself again, just say.
We have lots of money saved up.
Mom, I'm ready to go.
Okay.
I'm going with him, I'll be back in the evening.
Okay.
Are you staying home?
I was planning to.
I don't wanna grow up to be someone who lazes around the house on a Saturday.
Being a salary man is tiring.
We better hurry.
Mom, let's go.
We're off.
Take care.
I hope I do good on today's test.
I'm sure you'll do fine.
Oh yeah, what do you want for dinner?
Hamburgers.
Okay, I'll try to get home early.
I'll try my best to make them, so you try your best too.
I'm off.
Have a nice day.
Miyoko.
It is that guy again.
Do they always meet in places like these?
Don't tell me...
That money.
Miyoko.
Why Miyoko?
How?
How did this happen?
Hiroki, are you back already-
What are you doing!?
Chuu!
Oh, it's just you.
Don't scare me like that.
What are you doing?
I thought I'd come see you and suddenly I was in your home.
But why is this room a mess?
You've already had a drink?
That's a salary man for you.
Invite me next time.
Anyways, I've gotten hungry.
But it's not like you.
What happened?
I followed Miyoko and she met with that guy again.
Oh, him?
As usual, the future hasn't changed.
She gave him money.
She gave him the money I gave her for living expenses.
Oh yeah, speaking of money.
Lend me some and I'm eating this.
Why?
How much?
All the money you have on hand.
Huh?
Just give me your bankbooks.
What for? Why?
I won't give them to you.
Then I'll get back to looking.
Hey, stop it.
They're not there.
I manage all our finances.
You're such a weird man.
Keeping track of every damn penny, that's your wife's job!
We do it our way.
I don't make Miyoko worry about every little thing,
I'm not like you.
Stop quibbling and tell me where they are.
Well they're not in there.
Then what do you call this? It's a bankbook.
That can't be ours.
Seriously?
You barely have anything.
Well sorry.
You spend money as if it grows on trees, but I try hard to save...
What? Just 44 yen?
That's impossible.
I thought you'd be loaded, how disappointing.
No way, all 500,000 yen?
She gave it all to him?
You must be kidding, that's 500,000 yen!
We have a home loan and Hiroki's school expenses.
I never knew she had this bankbook with her when she went out.
All this time, she was embezzling our money.
And with that guy?
Hello?
Yes, that's right.
Hiro?
What's happened to him?
Yes, okay, I understand.
I'll be there shortly.
Hey.
Look at this, it seems valuable.
I'm Hiroki Nagata's father, he was taken here by ambulance.
He's in room 802.
He was taken here after collapsing by the road.
He has anemia from lack of sleep and exhaustion.
You made a big fuss out of nothing.
You made it sound like he nearly drowned in the inland sea.
Stop it Chuu.
Hiro is my grandson!
Huh?
How long until he can be discharged?
2-3 days rest should be enough.
Is that so?
I'm glad you picked up.
We called his mother first but couldn't get through.
[Calling Miyoko...]
It's Nagata, I can't come to the phone right now.
At a time like this, she's...
Dammit.
Calm down Kazu.
Nothing major happened to Hiro.
This might be a good omen.
Hiro wasn't originally hospitalized, right?
Then his future has changed somewhat.
There's no point if it changes in bad ways.
Why didn't I realize Hiroki was that tired?
Or that Miyoko was siphoning money from the account and giving it-
We might have gotten the wrong idea about that.
An IOU?
Your wife's name is on there.
Three million yen!?
Your wife was with that guy to pay off an illegal loan.
Didn't you think he gave off the same scent as me?
Meeting with a younger guy like that, that's a trick used by a loan shark.
Then that money she gave...
Was only a repayment.
Lucky for you.
But what would Miyoko need this much money for?
Let's go.
Where?
I don't know.
But it's this way.
Where are we going?
Would she really be here?
This place has a good vibe.
Oh, come on.
Let's go in.
Hey, wait!
These places haven't changed a bit.
You know I hate them.
Which one should I play?
Which gives out the most money?
Stop messing around!
Miyoko...
So this is where all the money's going.
When she runs out, she gets another 'loan'.
How could she run up her debt that much?
You can tell just by looking.
She's an addict.
Why?
How did she get like this?
MIYOKO!

Can we talk outside?
They called you about him.
Sorry.
I had a little fight with my friend,
I was angry, so I gambled to let off stress.
I'm really sorry.
I'm a bad mother.
Fine. I'm a bad mother.
It's not-
It's fine, I'm not your enemy.
Huh?
Nothing.
Anyway, stay with Hiroki tonight.
Please.
Okay.
You didn't ask properly about the gambling or the debt.
What's with that?
I can't ask those questions now.
Idiot.
Make it clear what's right and wrong. Don't hesitate now!
It's okay now.
It's okay now? What's okay now?
How will that change the future?
She wasn't cheating on me with that guy.
Just knowing that is enough.
What's so bad about a little gambling?
If money's the problem, I can fix it.
She didn't dump me and Hiroki.
She probably left because she felt guilty about the debt.
She suffered alone in silence.
I didn't realize that.
So first, I'll pay off that debt.
If I do that, it should change Miyoko's fate.
Can you even pay it off?
It's 3 million yen!
I'll pay it off somehow!
I'll definitely save Miyoko.
Sorry that you have me for a mom.
Good work.
You too.
You're working on a day off too?
Just for a little bit.
[List of Company Employees]
Hey Senga.
Yeah?
Have you heard of getting paid in advance?
Huh?
Is that possible?
Probably not.
It's okay, forget it.
[List of Company Employees]
I packed a change of clothes and things he needs.
I thought Hiroki could use his text books once he's better.
And I think he'd like it if you brought Lawson's tiramisu.
I'll leave some money for that.
Don't stay there overnight, I'll be waiting here for you.
I want to talk about some things.
Boss, couldn't you make an exception?
I know, but please.
I'm having money troubles.
Matsuda?
It's me, Nagata.
I hate to ask, but could you lend me money?
10k.
No, 5k is fine.
Of course I'll write you an IOU.
I see.
No, I know you would've, forget it.
Paper money comes out of this slot?
Oh, you were with my husband.
How much do you have?
Huh?
I asked how much?
Any amount is okay.
Please.
Hello?
Dad suddenly collapsed around this time.
And the test results showed how serious it was.
Hello? This is the Nagata's.
It's me, Kazuo.
What's wrong?
You never call.
I was wondering how Dad was.
Your father?
You know, they ran tests on him.
I'm curious about how they went.
His condition hasn't worsened.
But that could change in a day or two.
I see, it's good he's okay right now.
You don't have to lie.
What?
You must have another reason for calling.
What's wrong?
Give me some.
No, no way.
Come on, just a little.
No, no way.
Sumie, give me some money.
What do you need money for?
Come in, we'll have sushi.
Some fresh blood joined us, we're having a welcome party.
But you would know that.
Hey Sumie, this booze won't do.
Buy the most expensive one.
Sit down, sit, sit.
But Dear, we brought that new building and we were saving up for a kitchen.
Plus Kazuo's school fees-
Stop babbling and give me some cash.
It's your job to give me cash when I ask for it.
You dumb woman.
Drink up.
Hey Kazuo, Tomoko, you want premium sushi too, right?
What type?
Toro? Ikura?
Neither.
What?
Are you deaf? I don't want to eat that sushi.
What's with that rude-
Don't.
I put away some money for a rainy day.
Don't give it Mom, that's your money!
It's alright.
I'll go get it.
Kazuo?
Mom, can you lend me some money?
Sure.
It's no big deal.
Sorry.
I can't say what it's for.
You don't have to.
Hey Kazu, we're back!
Chuu? Why are you here?
Well, a lot happened.
Save the details for later, it's time to celebrate!
Celebrate?
Take a look.
How did you get this money?
Who cares how?
Right?
Yeah.
We made a killing off dark horses.
Funabashi, Funabashi, Funabashi, 7th race...
Here it is.
Funabashi, 7th race for today.
Bet on first, second and third place going to No.7, No.5 and No.2.
Huh?
But that's really unlikely.
Who cares?
If it had better odds....
Forget the odds.
Don't you trust me?
I barely know you-
Hey.
What have you got to lose?
No.7 Funabashi overtook them at the third corner and has the lead.
But No.2 and No.5 aren't far behind...
That's the way!
Go!
Now the final turn, they're neck and neck.
Come on!
Go, go!
7-5-2!
We've made a killing!
It can't be.
We got the winning order right.
We did it!
It's amazing we could win all this so easily.
Sorry Miyoko, could you let me and Chuu talk in private?
Why don't you go buy some booze?
The most expensive stuff they have.
Okay.
Then I'll go get some.
Thanks.
Your fridge is as empty as ever.
Can you see horse racing results now?
I wish, but I doubt I could.
Then how did you do it?
With the newspaper.
Oh, Kazu's finally back.
Those two must have left it in that wagon.
You read a newspaper from the future?
Why not?
I don't think I've broken any rules.
Isn't this great, Kazu?
Now you can pay off the entire debt.
Then you just need to smooth things over with your wife.
What's this?
I got it myself.
You did? How?
I borrowed from Mom.
From Sumie?
Still sponging off your parents?
How much-
Get your filthy hands off it.
What was that?
This is Mom's money.
Sumie's money is my money.
Anyway, your wife's debt is 3 million yen!
That's not nearly enough.
And this pays off my debt to you, with interest.
Be grateful, grateful-
Give it a rest.
You're really insensitive.
I had my own way of doing it, I was going to talk with Miyoko.
And then you-
What's wrong with gambling to pay off a debt caused by gambling, huh?
Money's money, whether earned the hard way or the easy way.
I did this for you-
This is none of your business!
It's always the same with you.
You barge in unannounced, act like you know everything
and never consider other people's feelings.
You damn quibbler.
So you don't need this money?
You can't stay here forever, yet you insist on helping your wife the 'right' way.
How's that going?
Just leave.
What?
Get out of my face!
I'd be happy to!
I'm taking my share with me.
Quibbler.
[Note: Miyoko is singing a song from the pachinko machine.] On nights lit by the moon, turn golden.
Turn golden.
What are you doing here?
Oh, sorry.
I thought I'd give you some time to talk it out.
I can't hold a conversation with that quibbler.
So you brought the booze?
It must be hard for you too.
Being with that stubborn as reinforced concrete man.
Even after I helped win all that money.
Wanting to do everything his way, on his own, am I right?
He's a serial whinger.
A really stubborn idiot.
A complete idiot.
Idiot!
Don't bad-mouth him.
He's the dream husband, always looking out for me and Hiroki.
I don't deserve him.
All the more reason to pay off the debt.
Do that and you can redeem yourself.
Am I wrong?
I feel like one too.
Go for it.
You can hold your liquor.
It's good.
Go!
The dark horses.
We made a killing!
A big win, it felt good, huh?
Go! A big win, it felt good, huh?
Go!
A big win.
Dark horses won.
Go, go, go.
So you don't need this money?
You can't stay here forever, yet you insist on helping your wife the 'right' way.
How's that going?
Dammit.
It's all here.
Then that's it. Let's go Miyoko.
Please wait.
I'll get your receipt.
But it's a shame.
I thought you would be a long-term client.
You have no business with us now.
Come near my wife again and I'll get the police involved.
You're lucky to have a good husband who looks out for his family.
Have a nice life together.
Hiroki hasn't been discharged yet.
Let's go out for dinner.
What do you want to eat?
You won't ask, huh?
About the debt or playing pachinko?
You've learned your lesson.
You paid off the debt.
With horse racing winnings, mind you.
Anyway, your feelings are what's important.
You only gamble occasionally, right?
Of course you would.
You must get bored with housework.
I should have realized that.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I'm the one in the wrong, why won't you blame me?
You must be fed up with me.
Miyoko...
I'm the worst.
I wasted the money you worked hard for.
And made you ask your mother to lend you some.
And I was playing pachinko when Hiroki collapsed.
You two don't deserve-
You're doing fine. You two don't deserve-
You're doing fine.
You're a good wife to me and a good mother to Hiroki.
But just being with you is plenty.
You really are too kind.
Hello again.
Welcome back.
It's okay if we go to the next point in time now, right?
Yep.
Huh?
He looks kinda relieved.
So things went well?
Yes.
There's still the problem with Hiroki.
But Miyoko's fate may change now.
Everything's thanks to me.
You made a big fuss about that money and in the end, you used it.
I didn't hear a "thank you".
I don't need to thank you.
I could have managed somehow.
Yeah right.
You couldn't even get enough cash.
It wasn't just a problem with money, it was a problem with her heart.
I could have fixed things back then if I knew what really happened.
But did you really fix things this time?
What do you mean?
Have you forgotten?
The future can't be changed that easily.
Like that red and black checkered coat I brought!
Even the winnings I took with me have vanished.
Nearly everything resets once you step foot inside this car.
I'm fully aware of that.
But I'll just pay off the debt and save Miyoko every time.
It's impossible, you can't.
What's with you lately?
You don't know anything.
And what do you know?
I don't know anything.
But I've figured out some things.
She pays off the debt, then you say it's okay to gamble.
Think about it.
You'll never help an addict by doing that.
Hello?
This is Ryuu Planning's Koga.
Miss Nagata, you wanted to talk...
Yeah.
I want you to lend me more money.
