What is it, Hashizou?
Huh?
I really did just spend the night with my Mummy, didn't I?
Yes, you did.
I'm so happy.
Mummy is, too.
Uh-oh! Oh no!
What's wrong?
I've gotta get to kindergarten!
You don't have to go to kindergarten anymore.
Eh?
Say, Hashizou...
Don't you want to stay with Mummy forever?
I want to stay with you forever, Mummy!
Then come to Paris with me.
Where is Paris?
Why, where our home is, Hashizou.
Eh?
It's in another country called "France", but it's a lovely place to live.
I know beyond a doubt, you'll think so, too.
Mm.. but I don't know if Gou and Yakko will be able to come visit us there.
You're right. We will have to ask them.
Whoo-hoo! If they can, I'll go!
That's wonderful. It's a promise.
Yay! I promise!
Hey, Mr. D.J., nemurenai yoru.. oh oh.
Mmm...
Hey Mr. D.J., moasazetekure.
Atsui number, matteiru no sa.
Hey telecaster, koitsu ga ireba. Mm-hm.
Ore wa itsudemo akogare no ROCK STAR.
Mmm...
Rock me, baby. Fukitobasu no sa!
Hey Mr. D.J., I'm not gonna sleep tonight.. oh oh.
Hey Mr. D.J., c'mon and get me fired up.
Mmm...
I'm waiting for a hot number.
Hey telecaster, he's about to let it rip. Mm-hm.
I've always wanted to be a rockstar.
Mmm...
Rock me, baby. Blow me away!
Yeah. Come on, Sweet Little Rock 'n Roll Star, yeah.
I wanna be just a rock 'n roll star, yeah.
Come on, sweet little Rock 'n Roll Star, yeah.
Why don't we try a little stronger beat there?
What do you think, Gou?
Gou!
Huh? Oh. What was that?
What the heck is wrong with you?
Nothing.
You've been acting weird since yesterday. Did something happen with Yakko?
Nah, it's nothing like that.
Sorry 'bout that. C'mon, let's keep going!
Aren't we going to call Gou?
Now isn't a good time.
I wonder if Yakko's home.
Welcome. Please, have a seat.
Hup.
What would you like, Hashizou?
A pork omelet!
Eh?
A pork and egg okonomiyaki!
I'm sorry. Did I say something weird?
Cheer up, Juliano.
What are we going to do with you?
Hashizou has been torn away from him.
He has every reason to feel down.
How could that wild-haired punk have let this happen, for cryin' out loud?
He's busy building his career so he can become a star.
Good afternoon.
Oh my, how long have you been there listening?
Huh? What about Hashizou?
I've been busy at the recording studio.
Mr. Katou.
Which is more important to you: the rock band or Hashizou?
That's something I'd need to think about.
What is there to think about?
They say "A foster parent is even more precious than a biological one", right?
He has to be missing us by now.
He's probably in tears, and we don't even know it.
It doesn't feel like last night was real to me, either.
Eh? It wasn't just a dream!
Oh.
Hello, you've reached Mambou.
Oh, Hashizou's mother.
Eh?
Huh?
Er, yes. He's here.
Hello?
Sorry I didn't call you earlier. It's been a busy day.
I know you want to discuss this with Hashizou, but..
..our evening flight to Paris is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
Eh? You're leaving for Paris the day after tomorrow?
Eh?
Wh.. what did you just say?
Does Hashizou know that?
He does. In fact, I'll put him on right now.
Here, it's Mr. Gou.
Is that you, Gou?
Mummy and I are going to Paris!
Hashizou! You can't be serious.. are you?
Yup. I promised Mummy I would.
You and Yakko can come along with us, too!
Right? You'll come, won't you?
I see. Okay.
Mr. Gou, is Hashizou really going to Paris?
Yeah. That seems to be the plan.
It can't be!
That's right! He wouldn't!
I heard it straight from him on the phone just now.
No way. It has to be a trick.
He wouldn't just up and leave me like that.
What do we do now, Mr. Gou?
Isn't it obvious? What kind of mother abandons her child for five whole years?
If that woman takes Hashizou with her, it will only bring him sorrow.
That's right!
On the other hand, it seems as though he doesn't want to lose her.
He probably doesn't want to be left behind again.
Hmm...
What a predicament.
We can't bring him back today, so we'll have to do it tomorrow.
Is that you, Gou? Mummy and I are going to Paris!
But Hashizou sounded so happy.
It's almost as if he's already forgotten us.
I think that's utterly impossible.
I'm sure she just talked him into it.
Whatever the case may be, taking him back by force isn't the answer.
I'm going to be even busier with work now that we're doing a nationwide Live Tour, anyway.
What would Hashizou do when I have to leave him behind so much? It's better this way.
Mr. Gou is such a kindhearted person.
He only wants what's best for Hashizou, despite his own personal feelings.
Hey, Kaoru. What's the matter?
Hashizou is still on vacation. I'm so bored.
Hashizou's not coming back.
Eh?
Hashizou's big bro just stopped by.
I overheard him talking to Miss Kumiko. Hashizou's moving far away.
Eh?!
The reason being, as far as I can tell, Hashizou will be leaving with his mother.
Is that so?
But you're the one who raised him until now. Are you sure about this?
Well, that's...
Hashizou's big brother!
Oh, Kaoru.
Is it true that Hashizou is going far away?
Yeah. Hashizou is going to Paris with his Mom.
Where is Paris?
In a faraway land that you have to take an airplane to reach.
Eh? Has he left yet?
Not yet. He's staying at the International Hotel right now.
Oh, I know that place.
I know you probably didn't have a chance to say goodbye in person..
..but you could always send him a letter.
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, either. It's really too bad.
I'm not going to say goodbye.
Kaoru!
Eh?
Wait here with the car, okay?
I know this hotel, so I'll be fine.
What's the number of the room Katou Hashizou is staying in?
Eh? Hashizou?
He's about my age, with the most beautiful, curly hair.
Ah, yes. I know that young man.
Ouch.
Yoink, yoink, yoink.
Ah, I wonder how Juliano is doing.
Oh. Who is it?
Oh, Kaoru!
Hashizou!
Kaoru!
I missed you!
I missed you, too.
You're such a meanie, Hashizou!
Eh?
You're going to Paris without even telling me.
But Gou and Yakko are coming along.
Liar!
Eh?
Your big brother just said you weren't coming to kindergarten anymore.
Eh? But I am coming back to kindergarten.
How are you going to do that if you're in Paris?
Paris isn't that far away.. is it?
It's in a country so far away that you have to take an airplane to get there.
Eh?!
Once my chauffeur heard what the other adults said, he told me..
..that when people leave for places like that, they rarely come back!
Er.. well.. I...
On the way home, I heard Miss Kumiko say..
..that you were going to France with your mother..
..and become a French boy.
Eh?
That's a lie!
Gou and Yakko said they would come, too!
Did you hear Yakko say those exact words?
Nuh-uh. But.. I...
Miss Otake is busy today, so..
..it would be just us and the chauffeur.
He's waiting for me out front.
Okay. Let's go to Yakko's place.

Love
Night
Huh? Eh?!
Eh? Then...
Hashizou's not going to kindergarten anymore?
Yeah, I didn't want his teacher to start worrying.
You shouldn't have done that, Mr. Katou!
How can you just give up on him when you've worked to hard to raise him?
I haven't given up on him!
But...
I don't think I've ever heard him so happy.
I know how you feel, Mr. Gou, because I feel the same way.
Bull! I'm totally against it.
Don't make me laugh, you idiots. Sheesh.
Huh? Sounds like someone's coming.
Huh?
Good afternoon!
Oh, Kaoru!
Hurry and c'mon in here!
Wha..?
Good afternoon!
Hashizou!
Gou!
Hashizou!
Juliano!
There's something that Hashizou needs to hear for himself.
Eh?
Because he thinks you're going with him.
You are going to meet me there, aren't you, Gou?
Meet you there?
And Yakko's coming, too, right?
Me, too?
Mummy said you were!
Eh?
See, I told you so. He thinks you're going along with him.
Hashizou.
Yakko isn't going to Paris.
Like she would ever do something like that.
Eh? Is that true?
Mm-hm. I never promised such a thing.
What do you think of that, Mr. Katou? Didn't I tell you?
If you and Yakko aren't coming, then I don't want to go with Mummy.
Eh?
That's right. You can't go!
You said it, Kaoru.
Hang on a sec, Hashizou.
I'm going to be very busy from here on in.
I won't be able to look after you as well as I have before.
That's okay. I can take care of the house while you're gone!
I promise I'll be a good boy.
Well said, Hashizou.
What do you have to say to that, Mr. Katou?
Please stay out of this, old man!
Eh?
Hashizou.. go to Paris with your mother.
Eh?
What did you say?
Your going to Paris...
Will save me a lot of hassle.
Gou...
Got that?
Go to Paris with your mother.
Gou.
That's awful! You're such a meanie, big brother Gou!
There's nothing I can do about it, Kaoru.
I don't believe that for one itty, bitty second!
Kaoru!
Poor girl. You really hurt her feelings.
I'll apologize to her later.
Gou! Are you really okay with me not being here?
I'll take you back to the hotel, Hashizou.
Is there anything I can say to change your mind?
Nope, just say that you'll go back.
Mr. Katou! How can you be so hard-hearted, you moron?
Up until now, you.. but, Yakko!
Daddy!
You have no idea what Mr. Gou is going through!
But he..!
It's time to go, Hashizou.
Gou!
Say your goodbyes to Yakko and the old man.
I love you, old man. Yakko.
We'll come see you off tomorrow, Hashizou.
Okay. Please make sure you do.
We.. will.
We'll be there, Hashizou.
No matter what.
Okay.
Goodbye, then.
Hashizou..!
What's wrong, Mr. Shige?
Somehow I feel weary, down to my very bones.
Hey now, quit joking around, wouldja? You're still young.
Maybe I should go to Paris, too.
Eh?
Hashizou is leaving for Paris on an airplane tomorrow.
He's going to Paris?
His biological mother showed up, and she's taking him home with her.
Whoa, now that's a surprise!
That also explains why Mr. Shige is so uncharacteristically down in the mouth.
Sorry I'm late.
Mr. Gou, how did it go with Hashizou?
I had a talk with his mother while I was at the hotel.
It seems they're still going to Paris, as planned.
Hey, Mr. Katou.
Let's drink tonight.
Daddy!
This night is sober enough as it is.
Old man.
Let's drink.
Okay. Hey, Yakko, take the shop sign down.
Okay.
Is.. it okay if I stay?
You're more than welcome to join us, Mr. Tsune.
I'm feeling lonely tonight.
What's wrong, Hashizou?
I'm so happy. From now on, we'll always be together, won't we?
The truth is...
What is it?
I wanna take Juliano with us.
Juliano?
Ah, you're talking about that strange cat, right?
Once we're in Paris, I'll get you a much better cat.
But...
It's okay, because you'll be with your Mummy, isn't it?
I wonder if the old man and Mr. Tsune will be all right.
Yeah, they'll be fine.
Mr. Gou.
Do you have any regrets?
It's not like I had a choice.
I had to do what's best for Hashizou.
I already know what you're gonna say, Juliano.
If only there was something I could do to make his mother change her mind.
That's enough. Let's just drop it, Yakko.
What's wrong?
I just feel sick all of a sudden.
Are you okay?
Mr. Gou!
Yakko...
You're so tenderhearted.
Until we meet again, everyone.
Take care.
We're going now!
That's "Farewell".
Farewell...
Something wrong?
Gou and Yakko aren't here...
Hashizou!
Ah! Juliano! Gou!
Take care of yourself.
Hashizou!
So that's Hashizou's mother, huh?
Now I see. Lovely as a rose, but I'd say her thorns are wicked.
Shh.. Daddy, she'll hear you!
Hashizou! Stay healthy, okay?
Old man!
Juliano.
Goodbye.
Farewell!
Take care!
Goodbye, Hashizou!
Farewell!
So he actually went.
Is this really the right thing to do?
What's wrong?
I feel so drained.
I can barely take another step.
Goodbye, Hashizou.
Hey, what's gotten into you, Juliano?
Yakko! Gou!
Hashizou!
Gou!
Juliano!
Hashizou!
What happened?
Well, the truth is.. Mummy told me to go.
Eh?
And Mummy said to give you this.
Eh?
Mr. Gou...
You've taken such good care of Hashizou that I'm returning the favor.
It was never my intention to shirk my responsibilities.
But the result is that Hashizou's heart will not be swayed in my direction.
I will wait until Hashizou wishes to seek me out himself.
When Hashizou eventually reaches that stage..
..I would ask that you, Hashizou, and Yakko please come to Paris.
Until then, please take good care of Hashizou for me.
Farewell.. Mummy.
Isn't that great, Juliano?

Hashizou comes into the shop wearing sunglasses because he believes..
..that the reason Mr. Gou and I aren't..
..married yet is because he needs to be more manly.
I'm glad that Hashizou is so in favor of that happening, but..
..the real obstacle is Daddy.
Meanwhile, Mr. Satomi proposes to Miss Maeko.
I envy them a little.
