A Steamy Kiss Amongst the White Birches
What's wrong, Juliano?
Cheer up! Here.
What? Hey..
..that's your favorite dish, isn't it?
It's not like him to turn down a pork omelet.
Yeah.
I guess Hashizou being gone is affecting his appetite.
He hasn't made a sound since I got here.
How is Hashizou, by the way?
You know that guy with the shaggy hair?
Yeah, I know him.
He's actually a hoity-toity rich guy.
Hashizou has gone to his vacation home.
Really? I'd never have guessed that he's upper class.
Though I'm not surprised he's never worked a day in his life.
He doesn't just play around, you know.
Everyone is working their tails off rehearsing for the Battle of the Bands.
Battle of the Bands?
Now, now, it must take a lot of work to plan such an assault on our ears.
What an awful thing to say!
Of all the nerve!
But still, I wonder if Hashizou is doing okay all by himself.
The setting sun is painting..
..an "I love you" across this town.
Right now, it doesn't matter what I say.
You won't hear it, anyway.
I wonder how Juliano's doing.
Master Satomi? It's time for afternoon tea.
Because I love you, someday..
Ah, thanks Mrs. Oume.
Let's go have some, guys.
Okay.
It's time for afternoon tea, Hashizou.
I'm not hungry.
Huh?
He did not have breakfast this morning, either.
I don't want any.
What am I gonna do with you?
Hmm?
Hashizou.
I'd be a lot happier if Juliano were here.
I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about that.
Mrs. Oume hates cats.
This is all just for a little while..
..so hang in there, okay?
At least Juliano is with Yakko and the old man.. our friends.
He's not the only one. Everyone here is your friend.
Gou, do you like Yakko?
Huh? Er.. yeah, she's a nice girl.
Now let's go get something to eat.
Okay.
Ah!
Hashizou.
Ah, Gou.
What's on your mind?
I wonder how Juliano's doing.
You're still dwelling on that?
He's just fine while you're at kindergarten, isn't he?
Hmm?
Yeah...
Ju.. Juliano...
Meow.
Yakko...
Juliano...
Cats are nothing but trouble. That's why I hate them.
Oh come on, Mrs. Oume. It's not like you'd have to take care of him.
You say that now, but who would end up taking care of it?
Wow, she really has something against cats, doesn't she?
Say, Gou, what would you think if I extended an invitation for Juliano and Yakko to join us?
It wouldn't work.
The old man would flip his lid!
Oh that's right. He probably would.
In that case, what if Isuzu came along with them?
Eh?
She'd know exactly what and what not to say.
But isn't she on summer vacation?
Yeah, but I know how to get in touch with her.
How?
Well.. I kinda have her address.
What did you just say?
Why do you have her address?
Well.. you see.. I...
Er.. y'know?
Don't give me that, you blockhead!
You don't have to explain. Just hurry and write a letter..
..so we can send it first thing in the morning.
Oh yeah. But I don't know what to say!
This is kinda out of the blue...
Don't worry about it. Just hurry up to your room and write that letter!
Okay.
Can you believe him?
I can't believe he kept something like that secret.
Well, may we all be so lucky.
I'll drink to that.
Okay.
Please! I'm begging you!
Won't you please eat something, Jules?
I'm on the floor, begging here, so please eat!
I don't care that it's old-fashioned. Please, reconsider!
I don't think he understands that sort of thing.
But how else am I supposed to get him to eat?
This really is a problem.
I know you don't want to eat without Hashizou, but...
Please, Jules!
I'm begging you!
Hi there!
Hello.
Huh?
Oh my...
Oh, Isuzu.
Isuzu?
Isuzu, weren't you supposed to be in Kyushu?
Yeah, but I didn't feel like going back to my hometown.
I called my Mom to let her know.
You shouldn't have done that, Isuzu.
Eh?
Hmm?
No matter how far one roams..
..no matter whether they are young or old: there's no place like home.
How can you not understand such a thing?
Huh?
That's right, Juliano. You understand, don't you?
It's enough to make anyone cry!
I think you're just using that cat's despair to make your point.
Ah, by the way, Isuzu. What got you so fired up that you just had to come here?
Oh yeah. I got a letter from Mr. Tono.
From.. Mr. Tono?
Uh-huh. It may be just an ordinary letter, but it's very important.
So I wanted you to be the first to know.
Because it's about how they're all doing?
Oh, that's right. It says that Hashizou hasn't been doing so well lately.
Eh?
What? Don't tell me Hashizou's sick!
Er, no. It's just that, like Juliano, Hashizou is sad because they're apart.
So Hashizou is feeling the same way.
I know Juliano had to stay behind because Mrs. Oume hates cats, but..
..there must be something we can do, don't you think?
Hashizou thought the same thing..
..and so Mr. Tono has asked me to go join them and bring Juliano with me.
But what about Mrs. Oume?
Everyone agreed. It should be fine to sneak him in as long as we take care of him.
That's great!
But...
Er...
That's okay with you, right, Juliano?
If you come along with me.
Come on, Jules. Let's go!
You don't want to go with me?
You lazy good-for-nothing! You're such a pig!
Is that any way to treat someone who's trying to help you?!
It's no use.
Juliano absolutely despises women.
Even the promise of seeing Hashizou is not enough to overcome his nature.
Isn't that right, Jules?
Looks like we're stuck.
But Daddy..
..how much longer can Hashizou and Juliano be apart before they really do get sick?
Mm.. guess I've got no choice.
I must take a leap of faith to prevent Juliano from doing so off Tokyo Tower.
You'll just have to go with them, Yakko!
Are you sure you're okay with that, Daddy?
Summer is the time for vacations, after all.
I can spare you for a couple of days.
Wow! I guess you can be reasonable sometimes, old man!
Mr. Gou will be thrilled!
Hmm.. that's right. Eh?
Isuzu...
Make no mistake! I'm doing this solely for Hashizou and Juliano's sake.
Got that, Isuzu? I'm holding you responsible.
You will take care of Yakko.
AM I UNDERSTOOD?
Yes, sir!
He's just as stubborn about that kind of thing as ever.
Say, Isuzu..
..how does Mr. Tono know your address?
Eh? Oh, don't you worry about that.
Now I know something's up.
No one asked for your opinion, Juliano.
I wonder how Hashizou is doing.
I hope he's okay.
He can't be the only one on your mind.
Isn't there someone else you're dying to see?
Eh? Er.. that's...
Now that's suspicious!
Huh? Nothing to add this time, Juliano?
No fair!
For heaven's sake! Haven't I told you not to do such rude things in public?
It wasn't me, Mama.
It was that girl over there.
Eh?
Oh my. Don't pay any attention to her. Let's go.
You lazy cat! They thought I was the one doing that, thanks to you, Sir Farts-a-lot!

I spent Saturday night alone..
..in my dark, empty room.
The ringing of the phone weeps uncontrollably.
Right now, everyone is...
I wonder what Yakko's doing right now.
Hashizou!
Oh, it's Kaoru!
Hi there, Hashizou!
Kaoru!
Huh? It's Kaoru.
Miss Maeko.
Long time, no see, Sammy.
Long time, no see.
What's she doing here?
Er, Miss Maeko's family has a mountain villa..
..in the foothills to the east of here.
Now I see. So that's why.
I'm so glad I got to see you, Hashizou!
Say, how would you like to come to my ranch later?
Huh? Your ranch?
It's not very big, but there's a lot of baby cows right now.
Well, it's almost lunchtime, but...
Today's fine, as an extra special treat.
Okay, then. I'll go.
Then we'll send a car to bring you to the ranch later.
Say Sammy, would you like to go horseback riding with me later?
Ah, I'm afraid that won't work. We're very busy here.
Oh, come on.
Isn't it rude to turn down a lady's request?
But I already have a responsibility...
Well I have lyrics to write, anyway.
In that case, why don't we go swimming in the lake?
I'm in!
Hey, if we want to win the contest, we have to rehearse!
Don't worry about it. We've done more than enough for today. So long!
Hey!
Hold up, you guys!
Nope, not gonna!
So, Sammy...
I shall return home, then. Perhaps another time.
Sorry for troubling you.
'Til we meet again.
We're leaving, Kaoru!
Okay! See you later, Hashizou.
Okay! I'll be waiting!
You'll be able to see Hashizou soon.
Next stop: White Birch Plateau.
That's our stop, Yakko.
I think it's that way, right?
Yeah. Hey, look!
Let's take a shortcut through that white birch forest!
Won't we get lost?
It'll be fine. Let's go.
Wow, this is great! The air here is so crisp and clean.
Is Juliano feeling any better?
He's fine. Sir Farts-a-lot has never been better. See?
You're being awfully quiet back there, Sammy.
Er, if you say so.
Ah, Miss Maeko! Hee-ya!
Miss Maeko! Don't go so fast! It's dangerous!
It's fine.
Whoa!
Miss Maeko!
Miss Maeko.
Miss Maeko. Miss Maeko!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I'm just a little sore.
This is the first time you've ever held me, isn't it?
Eh? Then...
You did that on purpose?
Of all the harebrained..! What if you had broken something?
It would have been worth it.
Everyone's in for a big surprise!
Mm-hm.
Huh?
Stay back!
Huh?
You shouldn't go out there right now, Yakko.
Why not?
Shh!
Huh?
I'm serious, Sammy.
Please.. don't let me go.
I want you to only have eyes for me.
Miss Maeko...
I.. I am...
Don't say it. Please.
You don't have to say a word.
I love you, Sammy.
Yakko!
Let's go, Sammy.
I'm not feeling very well.
Please go on ahead, Miss Maeko.
But..!
Fine.
I've never seen Miss Maeko in such a state.
Hey there. You made it!
Good afternoon.
Er, hi there.
Everyone's been waiting for you.
Hashizou is going to be thrilled!
Er.. um...
You two look like disapproving parents.
Huh?
We were just out horseback riding, and Miss Maeko...
She fell off her horse.
So you see...
That's how we ended up like that.
O.. kay.
Why don't you guys head on up to the villa?
I just have to go stable my horse, and I'll be right there.
What on earth do you think that was about?
What say you, Sir Farts-a-lot?
Really? You don't say.
Any other thoughts on the matter?
So things will work out the way they're meant to?
Hmm.. I see. Now I get it.
See? He's really tame.
You can pet him if you want.
Wow, he really is cute.
What's wrong, Hashizou?
Oh! It's big sister Maeko!
Back so soon?
Where's big brother Sammy?
Oh, he had something to take care of.
Hashizou.
I have some good news for you.
Eh?
Juliano's here.
What? He is?
I've gotta go home, Kaoru! See ya later!
Hooray!
Looks like you got here safe and sound, Yakko.
I'm sorry I didn't give you guys any advance warning.
If you had given us a call, we would have come to meet you.
Well, the plan was to surprise you guys.
But somebody ruined it.
What's wrong, Satomi?
Oh! Er, nothing!
It's a good thing Isuzu made it here, isn't it?
Now Hashizou will be his usual cheerful self again.
Oh, is that right?
Whoa! Ouch! Ow ow ow...
Are you okay, Mr. Tono?
No, I'm not.
What's the big idea? He could have really been hurt!
My sincerest apologies.
You're right. He might have fractured his tailbone. I'll be more careful in the future.
Eh?!
Juliano!
Juliano! Yakko!
Hashizou!
Juliano!
I missed you so much!
It looks like Hashizou is back to his usual, cheerful self.
I'm so relieved!
So you're going to stay here with us for a while, right, Yakko?
Actually, I'll be going home tomorrow.
Eh?
Say it isn't so, Yakko!
I'd rather not test Daddy's patience.
I know! Why don't we throw a welcoming party tonight, guys?
In honor of Yakko and Isuzu coming all the way up here to join us..
..let's play our contest-winning song, "Lonely Boy" for them.
I'm in!
Let's do it!
All right, let's get this show on the road!
Besides, it'll be a great way to thank a certain someone for her tender, loving care earlier.
Eh?
Eh? Oh please.
The setting sun is painting..
..an "I love you" across this town.
Right now, it doesn't matter what I say.
You won't hear it, anyway.
Because I love you, someday..
..you might come back to me.
It's not your fault.
Don't cry anymore.
Babe, babe, babe, go ahead and laugh.
Babe, babe, babe, please just go away!
It's obvious that Miss Maeko is head- over-heels in love with Mr. Satomi.
Miss Maeko is the sort of person who is brutally honest, even with herself.
It's only natural that Mr. Satomi would react to such strong feelings.
Isuzu, on the other hand..
..has obviously moved on from her obsession with Mr. Gou.
So why do I keep waffling when it comes to my own feelings?
That's right.
Get it together, Yakko!

Night
They say that mountain weather can change at any moment.
Nevertheless, Mr. Satomi chases after Miss Maeko..
..when she is blindsided by a sudden storm.
When I'm the first to find her, I'm desperate to help, but..
..once again we clash, just like the lightning.
But when I've been hurt..
..I wake up to find Mr. Gou holding me close.
Now we're both sopping wet!
A Duet in the Heart of the Storm
See you then!
