Hey!
Hey, you!
Don't slack off!
I first met Junichi near a hole.
JUNICHI
CHIHIRO JUNICHI
Don't do it!
You didn't notice at all.
- You scared me. - Sorry.
Welcome home.
Why were you wearing headphones when there's no one around?
I could concentrate that way.
Don't we have a study room?
I could work faster on a wider table.
Chii-chan, you're an artist after all.
If I was an artist I would work according to my own preferences.
I'll give you a reward for working so hard.
Here.
Tenten gyoza!
Whoa!
Why so surprised?
Is that from Osaka?
I love it!
I knew.
- Did I tell you? - Yes, you did.
Really? When?
Long time ago.
Shin-chan, you really can remember everything well.
Let's eat.
It's done.
- Looks good. - Let's eat!
- Itadakimasu. - Itadakimasu.
How is it? Does it taste different?
It does taste different.
From the ones sold in Tokyo?
It's slightly different indeed.
- Really? - Yeah.
What makes it different?
I wonder too.
Maybe the flour?
Flour?
It tastes like French bread.
Right. Something like that.
It's good.
What were you doing today?
Strolling around.
Although it was so hot?
It wasn't so hot.
You're the type who can't stand still after all.
Today,
I found something strange.
Something strange?
What do you think it was?
How would I know?
Make a guess.
I've never been able to answer your questions.
- No idea? - No.
A hole.
- What? - It's a hole!
A hole?
What kind of a hole?
A huge one.
- What's the hole for? - No idea.
That's so like you.
Shall we go see it tomorrow?
Eat up.
Tasty.
Here.
There's nobody here.
It's Sunday after all.
I don't get it.
Why they made that hole?
Yeah.
I wonder too.
I know, right?
Shall we go home?
At that time, the gentleness of my husband feels like cotton.
Like a soft, unrealistic, endless cotton.
I was able to not think about it too much,
but sometimes, I also got scared for no reason.
Yes. Hello?
Please don't do this.
My husband is home.
You can pick them up already?
I'm a bit late.
I see.
It's a bit overgrown.
He had never called me before.
Today is the first time he called.
But I've told him not to call me again.
Thank you very much.
[Whisper of the Lake]
Shinoyama-sensei!
Welcome!
- Thank you for inviting us. - Thank you for coming.
Good work!
It must have been hard on you.
She's always been like that.
Always having lots of time to meddle in the book binding process.
I'm already used to it.
But I'm glad that she likes it.
The designers who were told to start over from scratch just before the sales were not only 1 or 2.
Hey.
Let's go get the roast beef.
Is Shinichi-kun doing fine?
I haven't seen him at work lately.
Yes, he is.
Still busy as usual.
He's such a nice husband.
Gentle and faithful.
That came out of nowhere.
Well, maybe not that faithful?
Just before his marriage, he changed his partner to a bookbinder who he met only several times.
I wonder how that person is doing now.
She was quite good at doing her job,
but she suddenly resigned.
Don't you think Shinoyama-san's house is really nice?
Thanks to her previous royalties.
- Give me the thick one. - Okay.
Well, that's right.
It's none of my business, but is everything all right?
With Yokoyama-san.
How about this thick?
I'm fine, thanks.
He's spreading your things around.
You have to think about the other person.
This industry is just as small as a kindergarten on some island.
I want the roast beef after all.
I called you, you know.
I knew.
Shin-chan.
About Yokoyama-san,
I met him at the launch of a book.
I was so drunk that day.
I didn't mean to...
Just go to bed.
Let's talk tomorrow.
Why?
The gyoza I bought the other day.
What?
Actually, I didn't buy it in Osaka.
I didn't have the time.
Isn't it better not to hear about such things?
You come here every day, don't you?
You saw me?
You saw me.
What are you making here?
What?
A hole.
I know that.
Hey!
Junichi!
Yeah!
It's kind of annoying.
What is?
Things like this.
Things like this?
Because it won't last long.
What?
I'm talking about myself.
Hey.
Where can I have a cup of tea around this area?
Tea?
Yeah. Tea.
I injured my foot earlier,
so, I want to take a break.
I know this one place.
Please come in.
I just wanted to have some tea.
Do you want coffee or tea?
Do you have Calpis (A Japanese fermented milk beverage)?
Calpis?
You're quite popular, huh.
Disappointed?
No.
Why did you ask?
See you.
What?
What happened?
Why did you ask?
You really don't listen to people seriously.
I told you that I'd be taking the afternoon off today.
You did say that!
Were you making any progress with your work today?
Yeah.
It went pretty well.
Then...
You can take a little break, can't you?
Can I not wear it?
Hey.
Aren't you hungry?
Shall I make something?
Chii-chan.
Shall we go buy groceries?
Pork.
Or chicken?
Then, fish sauce and nuts.
Do we have red peppers at home?
Aren't you tired? You just got home.
Have you ever heard me saying "I'm tired"?
Maybe not.
Salad alone is not enough, what else do you want?
- Pho! - Pho?
Fish sauce!
You chose the difficult one.
Coriander salad is also pretty hard to make.
I can make it as long as I look up the recipe online.
Then what do I want?
- Let's buy some wine. - Wine?
- The Spanish one would taste good. - Sounds nice!
- You can choose it. - Yeay.
It was a good decision to bring our car.
What's wrong?
We...
...may not be able to go any further.
Why?
I've never seen Junichi again since then.
And oddly enough, the faxes that had been frequently sent to me had also stopped coming.
Soon after that, I decided to leave home.
[Souvenir Gyoza Restaurant, "Tenten" ] [Shin-Osaka shop]
My husband told me this at our last meeting,
"The hole will be used to drain the water..."
"...when it overflows due to heavy rain and such."
"Even if it looks like it's been filled up,
"it still exists under the soil."
