Let's stop here.
We'll stop here!
Today, I'll introduce my personal cameraman!
He encourages me and makes me feel better all the time.
Lend me.
Lend me~.
He's shy!
He's looking embarrassed!
Look here!
It's Eiji-kun!
Look, smile! Say cheese!
Flower Shop Shizuku Notice of closure Due to personal reasons, this shop will close down after this weekend. Thank you for your patronage. From: The Owner
Hello?
Eh?!
What is Shizuku doing?
She barricaded herself in the classroom with her friends.
She locked herself up inside?
Yes.
But she said she'll open the door if Daddy comes.
Okay.
Just go take a look.
Look?
Excuse me.
Shizuku-chan.
Your daddy's here.
Shizuku, what are you doing? Come out quickly.
I think she wants you to pick her out among the others.
Pick?
Please come in.
Which one is the real Shizuku?
Bara no nai Hanaya Episode 8
Shizuku...
Ah, Shiomi-san.
Please don't go beyond the white line.
Sorry.
Please pick out the real Shizuku-chan among the twenty girls here.
Sensei, even if you say that...
She said you'll be able to get it right if you're her father.
"I, Shiomi Shizuku, am going to test Daddy's love.
Please pick out the real Shizuku among the twenty girls here.
If you don't get it right, I won't go over to Grandpa's.
But if Daddy gets it right, I'll do as you say.
This is because it shows that Daddy knows everything about me
and is doing this for my sake."
Okay.
Let me first...
We will not answer any questions.
Sensei..
Shiomi-san, I myself don't understand
why you're giving up on the custody lawsuit and abandoning Shizuku.
The other girls readily agreed to help Shizuku-chan
when they knew of the situation.
The other teachers are also watching over her.
This test is the limit of her compromise.
Even though she doesn't want to leave you,
this is the daughter's absurd test for her father who says absurd things.
Gashi-gashi.
What are you doing?
I thought I'd imitate what the real Shizuku would do.
Are you kidding?
I'm sorry.
The green...
The red...
Thank you!
Gashi-gashi!
Mio-san.
Good afternoon.
Have you...
heard from Ono-sensei?
Yes.
And you're still...
shamelessly coming before the first person who found out about you...
What's that?
It's useless apologizing to me.
Return the money and turn yourself in to the police.
Go turn yourself in.
Florist-san...
He's not in, the school asked him to go over.
Ah,
maybe it's the procedure of transferring school?
Well, there's something I'd like to discuss with you privately.
What?
You're very cunning.
Like a daughter-in-law trying to butter up to your mother-in-law.
I won't be fooled by that.
What "privately"?
You're the only one I could think of...
Is that so?
The ones standing to the left are not her.
Shizuku stands on the right
when she takes pictures with everyone.
In the photos from the school outings and sports meet...
Somehow, she always stands on the right.
She's not among those standing in the middle
to the extreme left.
Is is really okay to eliminate so many at once?
Yes.
Okay, those standing in the middle to those in the extreme left, take off your hood.
Sit down.
Ten girls left.
The green one, her kneecap looks different.
The pink one, her shoulders...
That cute sneeze is different too.
Take it off.
Shizuku's sounds more like "katocha".
Sit down.
Seven left.
Yes.
Look here!
Smile!
It's Eiji-kun!
Say cheese!
Ano...
Yes?
Sorry.
I...
think my brain is still young but...
Yeah.
What was that about?
Shall we watch it again?
Naoya!
Please don't scare me.
Don't you move a step.
What?
Why are you running away?
Well, because you're coming after me?!
Just like couples in love.
Shut up, you bastard!
Wait, you bastard!
Cockroach!
Sensei, there's only one left.
Eh?
Shizuku would hit it with a rolled-up newspaper.
She's not scared of insects at all.
The rest, take off your hoods.
You're indeed her father.
Please take off her hood and give her a hug.
You're the winner.
No...
Say cheese!
Shall we rewind it again?
No...
that's enough.
So...
so Eiji-san
is not Shizuku-chan's... real father.
Yeah.
Something like this...
You didn't know anything about it?
Ah, that's why you came to me?
Yes.
Well...
we've really known each other for a long time.
But that was only
after the two of them started the flower shop.
Really...
I think
it's the same for the master right across the street.
The reason why
he didn't want to fight for her custody...
Is just in case Shizuku-chan found out...
I guess so...
Ono-sensei said to catch you if I see you!
Why?
How would I know?
Even during that time with Shougo,
I wasn't told about anything until the last minute!
Was it because things would get too complicated?
Just stop running!
You shouldn't be pushing yourself too hard, it's not good for your body.
My age is catching up...
Shizuku.
She weighed 2200 grams when she was born.
Even though she caught measles and chicken pox,
she was generally healthy.
Even though she's not good at her studies,
she's good at math; just very good with calculations.
She keeps the accounts for the shop and controls the household expenses.
Her favorite food is sweet roasted chestnuts.
She hates eating salmon roe and sea urchins.
She calls herself "low-budget girl".
She's not scared of insects...
but she just can't accept how snakes can move with no legs; it's scary!
Shiomi-san?
Thank you.
You're not Shizuku either, right?
Eh?
She loves riddles but she hates to lose.
But she doesn't like to cheat,
so she left a hint.
Hint?
You said there are twenty girls but
there are only nineteen here.
Eh?
Somehow, she likes Suneo from Doraemon,
and her favorite pastime is to save money in her piggybank.
She wants to see the pink dolphin someday.
Nineteen girls...
so where's the real Shizuku-chan?
It can't be...
I was sure I heard her voice.
You realized it right from the start?
Parent and child...
maybe there's something magnetic between them.
Somehow I just felt that she wasn't right before me.
Cheerful...
outgoing and able to get along with anyone.
She seems rough, but
she has grown up into a gentle girl who is sensitive to others' feelings.
Her mother...
is not around...
but she has never pestered me
by saying she's lonely or anything like that.
She's my daughter but sometimes we get along like friends.
Shizuku is the apple of my eye... (Note: Literally it means "it doesn't hurt even if I put you into my eye".)
I've...
Daddy...
Gotcha!
I'll really...
Yeah.
I'll get into your eyes.
Daddy is the winner again.
Not at all.
Daddy!
I'm not the winner at all.
Thank you.
Thanks, everyone.
Have you told anyone else about this?
I've only told Hishida-san so far.
I see. So I am the keyman.
Sorry?
Hmm?
Oh nothing.
Hey...
Can I ask a really simple question?
Yes, I've been wondering too...
Who is the real father?!
Sorry.
That was impolite.
It's okay.
I feel a bit better now too.
We can't ask Eiji-san, right?
Since he has kept this a secret all this while.
When he invited me to live here, Eiji-san said,
"Even though we're not blood related,
we can still become a family by staying together."
Hey.
Wait, wait, Mio-san, please.
You. Return that money to me.
I've already returned it.
To the Florist-san?
Nope.
To the debt collector.
I heard that you got beaten up a while ago?
Sorry.
My situation was really bad.
Why did you borrow from such places?
I just used a normal credit card, and got blacklisted...
Why do you use so much money...?
A country bumpkin like me couldn't resist the temptations of the big city.
No, actually, I got tricked, I was bullied.
Those people knew that I was poor and they looked down on me.
So that means that when you were tricking Florist-san, you didn't feel bad at all?
You're terrible.
Even though I'm not in the position to say anything...
It's not funny!
Sorry.
Then? What did you come here for today?
I don't have anymore money.
I'm not feeding off you, so please don't use that tone with me.
I'm asking you what are you here for?
Nothing...
Nothing... I just wanted to see how Aniki is doing...
I went to the flower shop just now.
You went to the Florist-san's?
Yeah.
Are you stupid? Everyone already knows everything through Hishida-san.
Really?
I thought we were successful.
Even Ono-sensei knows.
Really?
That is why Sensei told the master to catch me.
Sorry, can I borrow the toilet?
It's just a wee.
You don't have to tell me.
I kind of understand how you feel.
What?
Like,
even though you did something horrible, you still wish to see Aniki and the others.
Look, even though it wasn't for long,
we still lived under the same roof like a family.
If you say I'm acting like a baby, then that's it really.
But strangely,
do you get the feeling that Aniki would be able to forgive you?
Hey Mio-san, you aren't a kid, so don't do such things.
I'm calling the police.
You're kidding me right?
Don't do that please.
Hello?
I'm calling from the Misawa apartments in the third district.
Wait a moment, wait wait!
I've got some information!
Dr. Anzai can't do the surgery for your father.
Please come as soon as possible.
It's true!
His fingers were trembling.
Don't lie out of desperation.
It's not a lie.
Mio-san, where are you going?!
That's all, right?
Yup.
Sorry that this is so hurried.
It can't be helped, since you have to move out the day after tomorrow anyway.
Yeah...
Hey, Eiji-san,
as the keyman, allow me to say this to you for the last time.
Don't say it's the last time, we can still see each other.
You know everything.
She, Mio-san, knows this too.
Yeah, I heard that from Ono-sensei.
You knew about this?
Yes.
You knew it and you both...
I see...
Shizuku-chan!
Mio-chan...
I'm not going to cry anymore.
It will make Daddy worry.
Shizuku-chan...
Mio-chan.
Hm?
Can I ask you for a favor?
Ask me anything,
I'll make sure it comes true.
Daddy, don't just eat instant noodles all the time.
I'll be fine.
Mail me everyday.
Yup.
Loads of it! Loads!
Yup.
Daddy!
Florist-san!
I...
don't know what to say...
Really...
I'm going to hold a clearance sale today and tomorrow.
Oh...
Isn't it almost time for you to go to work?
Ah...
Yeah...
Take this with you.
Eh? But...
This flower is called "Iris",
it stands for "good news" in the language of flowers.
I'm sure your patients will get better with this.
You know about my father...?
Your massage patients.
Okay...
Thank you, Florist-san.
Tomorrow will be the last day you can call me that.
I'll always call you by that.
Because that's the language of flowers that will make you happy.
Okay.
Ah... I'm starving...
Mio-san?
Or is it really the police...
You're like a mouse in a trap.
Chuu~
Meow.
Master, please tie him up.
You like it like that?
You're making me jealous.
You applied to go out?
Yeah, before the surgery, so that I don't have anything left to regret.
Don't say that.
They gave me the permission.
That's impossible.
Well, I was half joking when I asked, but Dr. Anzai said...
Dr. Anzai can't perform your father's surgery.
Excuse me.
Hey, Mio.
Yes, everything is 40% off.
Yes, hello?
Hello?
Yes?
You haven't changed your number yet.
Sorry, but who is this?
You don't remember me?
You?
Sorry, somebody is calling me, I'll call again.
I see...
So that's how he told you, right?
So it is true?
So that's why you're giving up on the treatment and allowing my father to go out of the hospital?
Brain tumors can be controlled with medicine as long as the attacks do not occur.
So that he can restore his energy while not getting tired out...
Please don't dodge my question.
Is my father's surgery possible? With you as the surgeon?
You can say it's a doctor's neglect of his own health.
My right hand trembles
when I get nervous.
It's true,
that it's hard for me to operate on your father.
You're too much...
You knew that all along and you have been using me?
Do you even call yourself a human being?
Calm down.
You're too much!
I never said that I am not doing the surgery.
I'll do everything I can to assist in the surgery.
Assist?
Come in.
Let me introduce him to you.
His name is Kamiyama Shun.
He is young, but he is an excellent doctor.
He was recommended by Professor Miura.
No, you're being too kind.
He is going to be taking charge of your father's surgery.
But then, Aniki already knows about everything, and Mio-san
also knows that she has been exposed.
And yet
they are still seeing each other like nothing is wrong.
They are both not talking about it.
That's a weird relationship.
It's suffocating and it won't last.
Of course they know that,
it's just that
they are just trying to delay that moment,
for as long as possible.
But...
"Sorry."
"No, it's fine. You didn't have a choice." Can't it just be settled like this?
If they like each other?
Kid.
What?
Don't look so scary.
I've told you everything.
A cup of coffee.
A flower or two, how much do you think you can earn?
100 yen? If not, it's the matter of 10 or 20 yen.
And after all this hard work,
he has to give up his daughter, Shizuku.
And what are you saying?
"Sorry." "No, it's fine. You didn't have a choice."?
Master.
Get lost.
Don't ever hang around here again.
Here.
Thank you very much.
Wow.
Thanks to you, we're all sold out.
Thank you
for your patronage all this while.
Where are you moving to?
Teru-san showed me a cheap apartment...
Where?
Which district? Which block?
Well...
I still don't know the details.
You're lying.
As a florist who makes deliveries, you should be able to tell me the block number easily.
So you still haven't found one, right?
Yes.
Actually...
I won't have many things left with me.
After sending the things out for recycling,
I can stay at the capsule hotels or manga cafes for a while.
Are you going to just disappear?
Disappear?
Why would I disappear?
Shizuku-chan was worried you would do that.
Shizuku?
She's thinking too much.
It must be due to the change in environment
that's making her feel a little worried.
She told me you said you want to be alone.
That...
was just a play of words...
She asked me to stay by your side.
She told me not to leave you alone.
She actually said that to you...
The key to my apartment. I made a spare key.
You'll be able to save on rental fees, right?
Also, you will be working hard to open a shop again.
I'll help you too.
You said it too, right?
It'll be you, Shizuku-chan and me from now on.
Triple circles. No, a hanamaru.
Let's live together.
What?
An offer like this...
It's quite disgraceful for a woman to say this... or rather, it's embarrassing.
Anyway, it's just that...
I'm sorry.
My face feels so hot...
Ano...
What?
I'll do as you say and be a freeloader.
Thank you.
No... It's my pleasure.
Gosh, it feels as if we're still high school students...
It's really embarrassing!
I'll go get some hot water.
It's just for a limited time.
Us.
Yes.
That's of course.
Take a good look.
She reminds you of her, right?
She's your grandma.
Grandma!
I've adopted her.
We'll be living together.
So Kumiko, don't be stubborn anymore.
It's too late.
What are you saying?
We're going to start over, just like before.
It's not too late.
It's not that.
Hayashi-kun?
Did you ask him to come?
Hayashi gave me a lot of advice when I was going to fight for her custody.
But that's not necessary now.
Sensei,
I'm very sorry.
Even though I was always under your care...
It's not your fault.
It has long been over between the two of us.
When did this start?
Please forgive me.
I'm asking you when did this start?
I love your wife.
You say you love her?
It's something that you never did.
He treated me kindly.
When I was lonely, he listened and gave me advice.
He encouraged me.
Most of all,
he told me that I'm important.
That's enough!
That's enough.
What...
"Starting over"?
Daddy look at this~ (^o^)/
I look like a princess, right? (Laugh)
It really suits you.
This is where
I had my first date with you. A place with our fond memories.
Tokyo Tower's special observatory.
Do you remember?
People look like grains of rice from here.
You said it's like a miracle
for us to meet like this.
When I laughed saying,
"It's so corny! It's such an old line!"
you looked annoyed.
But I was actually very happy.
Because that was the first time
you ever said such romantic lines to me.
Even though I said that my dormitory has a curfew,
you just kept quiet for some reason after hearing that,
and just looked at the scenery outside.
I...
was thinking if you were remembering what it was like when you were a child.
I asked if you want to meet your mother.
You...
looked at me with a very scary face.
Number withheld
Hello?
It's me.
Oh.
Can you come out now?
You...
looked at me with a scary face.
I'm really lucky.
I'll be having a surgery soon.
I'm so lucky to be able to meet such a cute angel like you.
Or are you coming slightly early to pick me up?
My daughter's boyfriend
was not that florist?
Yes.
It's on the second floor here, right?
The loan sharks that Naoya borrowed money from.
I think it's better to report this to the police.
Naoya-san said he was made to pay exorbitant interest before he knew it.
Will we get back the money
if we talk to the police or lawyers?
But it's too dangerous.
Such people are usually linked to crime syndicates.
That's why Sensei should go back first.
You should go back with me too, and reconsider our plan.
If that house
is left there for long.
new buyers might just appear.
Yeah... that...
Sensei.
Yes?
Please listen to me and don't laugh.
I...
like having a flower shop
before my house.
You're saying that I've got the wrong person?
Florist-san was your daughter's friend.
And he was actually the one who comforted and encouraged her.
But...
He avoided the custody lawsuit
because Shizuku-chan might find out that he is not her real father!
There's nothing here...
Aniki...
I feel so lonely...
So who exactly was the one
who hurt my daughter?
I don't know.
But, maybe Florist-san
has been looking for that person all this while.
Just like you, for your daughter's sake...
to take revenge.
You...
looked at me with a scary face.
When I looked frightened,
you finally smiled.
You said...
that you're an anonymous soldier.
In this world...
we only believe in each other.
