Yori-chan!
Junko.
I called you from the entrance, but you didn't come.
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
Right, you are going on a date with Yamada-san.
I told you it wasn't a date!
Good job.
I'm just going to show him around Kyoto Tower.
Kyoto Tower?
He said he can see it from his apartment, so he wanted to go take a look.
So I'm only his guide.
What is it?
I hope you can smile well. Good luck!
[A Sharply Graceful Girl]
Take this.
Why?
I started looking for it again and found it on the street.
I'm so glad you're all right!
It's not okay! Your temperature is really high.
Yoriko-san!
Yoriko-san?
Don't look at me with that friendly face.
Yoriko-san! We can see the whole city of Kyoto from here.
I know.
Looking around like this
makes me feel that I really live here.
Finally?
I came to like this city.
Tawawa-chan!
It's the mascot of Kyoto Tower.
Ah, hello.
Would you like to take a photo together?
Oh, yes please.
Mmh... Could you stand a little closer?
Uhm, no...
That looks good. Okay, I'll take one now.
Say "Tawawa"!
Yoriko-san, you seem to have come here quite often before?
Yeah, when I was young.
I learned a lot about the Four God's from here.
The Four God's?
Haven't you heard about the four god's protecting Kyoto?
In the north there is Genbu of Mt. Funaoka. (T/N: Genbu = black tortoise)
In the East there is Seiryuu of the Kamo RIver. (T/N:) Seiryuu = azure dragon)
In the West there is Byakko of San'indo. (T/N: San'indo: region in west Japan, north of Shikoku; literally "road on the shaded side of the mountain"; Byakko = white tiger)
It isn't there any more, but the Okura Pond was protected by
Shujaku. (T/N: Shujaku = vermilion bird)
What a relief, isn't it, Yamada-kun?
Now that the sales for your magazines have gone up, these results were to be expected. Right?
Keep it up.
[Notice of Transfer Order: Yamada Yuichi to Tokyo Headquarters]
Isn't that enough for a new article?
If you found it interesting what I told you, you can use it.
Yoriko-san, actually...
[Fourth Deck -You are here]
I have to go back to Tokyo.
I received a transfer order, and have been assigned to the headquarters.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to write decent articles.
I can't thank you enough for that.
Telling me so much about Kyoto
and going out with me,
I'm really grateful for all that.
What is it with you suddenly being so formal?
I...
That's great.
I don't have to take care of you anymore. I feel relieved.
Right...
- Are you mad? - Huh?
Why?
It's just that you haven't said a word since earlier.
That's because we don't have anything to talk about. I would say something if we did.
Sorry.
And I don't have a reason to be mad in the first place, do I?
Is it because of my expression?
Sorry, but I was born with that.
Ah! Watch out!
Are you all right?
Isn't this the shop that's famous for its ohagi? (T/N: ohagi = kind of mochi (Japanese rice cake) that's usually coated with sweetened red beans, soybean powder or sesame)
Some people come here from the country side for it.
They're already sold out even though it's only past noon?
I really wanna try eat it once though...
Then you have no choice but to come early and line up.
[Information]
Excuse me! I'll have one please.
Mornin'.
You don't even smoke.
You want to go eat together today?
I don't really have an appetite.
I heard about it.
Are you all right?
What are you tallking about?
Sorry, I invited him.
[Restaurant Shinoda]
Thank you for the good food.
- Thanks for the good food! - Pleasure!
Thank you.
We are not at a funeral.
Ah! Man! I can't even breath.
Could we have a new pair of chopsticks, please?
Sorry about that.
I'm really annoying you.
No, no, no. It's nice of you to have come.
It's only that this is...
This soba's on point, isn't it?
Isn't there something else you want to talk about.
Hello, the usual please. - Yes!
- For me, too. - Yes
Here you go.
Thank you.
You're going back to Tokyo real soon, right?
It's kind of sudden.
I'm sorry I couldn't even properly thank you, even though you helped me so much.
Don't worry about that.
I never would've thought I would go back.
Right! He's not going back because he wants to.
What about souvenirs. You're probably going to buy some for your co-workers, right?
- Yori-chan, why don't you help him choose some. - Uh, it's fine.
Huh?
No... No, it's fine. I will just find something.
Yori-chan knows so many fitting Kyoto souvenirs.
Well, if you helped me decide, it would make me really happy...
Yori-chan.
Kyoto Station.
If that's fine with you.
Of course!
When are you going back?
This weekend.
Then let's meet the day before that.
Okay.
Let's meet at the station.
Yes.
At 12:00 p.m.
12:00 p.m.
See you then.
I'm looking forward to it.
These all look so yummy.
Since it's Kyoto, I guess I should bring yatsuhashi as a souvenir. (T/N: yatsuhashi = sweet made of rice flower and bean paste that Kyoto is famous for)
That would be a safe choice.
Isn't it matcha? Uh, give me that one! (T/N: matcha = powdered green tea)
It says cherry blossom flavor.
I should take one with cherry blossom as well.
We still have time. Let's go over there.
Aaah, yes!
What about this one?
Ah, tsukemono! Right, Kyoto is also famous for tsukemono... (T/N: tsukemono = Japanese pickled vegetables)
This would be a safe choice, too.
Ah, you're right.
Okay, next!
Next.
What about this?
Ah, this is pretty!
Chopsticks are essential to beautiful Kyoto dishes.
So, there are many chopstick craftsmen in Kyoto.
I can't decide what to choose.
I'm going around one more time to see everything.
What are you doing?
Are you going to use this yourself?
No. I'm going to look at souvenirs.
Yeah, yeah...
In the end I bought all the things you recommended to me.
Can't you treat yourself a little? Since you got a promotion.
I'm not sure if you can call it a promotion.
You can go back to the main office,
isn't that proof of your success being recognized?
No, it's just because of everything you told me.
But you were the one who made it into an article.
So that they reach the world and make everyone want to come here,
you were the one who reached the peoples hearts with his words.
You need to cherish that talent.
Yoriko-san. Actually, I still want... here together...
Look.
They are all going home after coming to this old cramped city.
You're one of them.
Please do your best when you're back in Tokyo.
I'll arrive tomorrow morning, so you can be at ease, Mom.
Yes, I'll bring you some souvenirs. See you then.
Thanks for having me.
­
Sorry.
I was just about to come over and say goodbye.
Right. Are you going home right now?
Yes.
About Yori-chan...
In the end I couldn't really do anything for her.
That's not true. Do you really think that?
Since you've come here, Yori-chan has changed.
Bit by bit she's starting to use Kyoto dialect again, did you notice?
Oh, really?
You are the one who changed Yori-chan.
You cleaned everything again!
A neighbor is being so nice, again.
Sorry. Kadobaki, right?
Please take care of Yori-chan.
The bus will be leaving soon.
Yes!
Yoriko-san.
