"Off"
Mm! All clean!
Thanks for your help!
Well then...
What shall we have for dinner?
This is...
Grandma! Where are you?
Over here.
Huh?
Over here.
Wait!
Kuroto!
Grandma!
Thank you!
Mm!
That takes me back.
Mm?
It's going to be a rough night...
"The Helpful Fox Senko-san"
"Episode 11: It's Going to Be a Rough Night"
I'm back.
Welcome home! Another long day for you, wasn't it?
A-A noren?
You've taken it to another level today, haven't you?
"Senko's Izakaya"
I have! Please, come in!
The apron suits you well.
Oh, don't you say such lovely things?
But what's with the sudden change?
I just thought a change of pace might be nice--
Maybe a little drink to go with your dinner?
Sounds great! I'd been feeling like having a drink myself!
I am glad to hear it.
"The Fox's Cherry Blossoms" "Senko's Wine" "Senko"
Ooh! Th-This is amazing!
Mm!
All right...
--Cheers! --Cheers!
"Senko is 800 years old."
That hits the spot!
You seem to be enjoying it!
Here, how about another?
Thank you.
This chikuzenni goes well with the saké, too.
That's because it's been stewing all afternoon.
"The Fox's Cherry Blossoms"
Would you like to try another kind of saké?
"The Fox's Cherry Blossoms" Yes, please!
There you are.
Bottoms up!
It's rice! It has the aroma of delicious rice.
"The Fox's Cherry Blossoms," huh?
Mm. The cherry blossoms will bloom soon,
so I thought I'd give it a try.
When they do bloom, would you like to go cherry blossom viewing together?
Yeah... I haven't been in a long time.
Last year, we were coming up against a deadline...
And you weren't here....
Mm.
When I was little, I looked forward to it every year.
I see.
Huh?
This saké pairs well with fish. Here you go.
I can't believe I get to eat authentic food like this at home!
You never fail, Senko!
Mm! I've got that inari sushi you like, too.
Okay!
"Senko's Izakaya"
Can I get one more?
"Senko's Izakaya" Why stop there? Here you go!
"Senko's Izakaya" Okay! Thank you!
Wow! You made this plum wine, huh?
Mm-hmm!
It's one of my favorite things to do during the rainy season.
Ooh! The plums are like a dessert!
Iss delishiss!
What was it called again? This fruit.
Umm...
It's a plum. You said so yourself a second ago.
Thassit! Yeah! A plum...
Well, you seem more than a little drunk.
Why don't you have a glass of water?
Yeah. Water, water...
It's fine. You stay right there.
S-Sorry.
Your clothes aren't wet, are they?
Please, let me help you...
What am I to do with your business card?
I'm just useless...
I'm sorry I'm alive...
Now that's going a little too far!
You're all over the place.
Today was a mess.
We were supposed to deliver the product today,
but the customer started making all these requests that weren't in the spec,
and claimed their new requests should go without saying...
I talked to my boss,
but he just kept saying, "A pro meets the customers needs! Just get it done!"
I worked overtime for free and still got yelled at.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
That must have been quite trying.
Sorry, what am I saying? This isn't exactly a fun topic.
It's fine.
I'm no good. Crying over something like this...
There are plenty of people that have it worse than me.
It is good of you to think of others when you are so worn out.
However, I do want to hear how you are feeling.
I want to know everything about you.
It's just the two of us-- don't worry about what others think.
You don't have to hold anything back with me.
Just relax and let it all out.
It must have been very hard.
Uh-huh.
You did a very good job.
Mm-hmm.
Senko...
Yes? What is it?
Eep! What the--? Kuroto!
The little scamp...
How adorable.
Why? Why is it still growing?
"The Fox's Cherry Blossoms"... That was good...
Eep?! Is he drooling on my tail?
I'll have to move him to the futon.
Ugh, it's been a whole year.
How long is Sen going to be taken by you?
That went by fast. Has it already been that long?
Eep! At this rate, we'll never get to have Sen's cooking again!
Have you not been going over there and eating her cooking?
Eep?! But I want to eat it here!
Is that so?
Well, I feel that it won't be long until your wishes are granted.
Perhaps you only need to wait a little more...
Mm?
After all, everything ends eventually.
"The Helpful Fox Senko-san"
Nakano! Are you taking paid leave?
Paid leave?
At a time like this? We're trying to hit these delivery deadlines!
Don't you know that?
Nakano!
--Yes? --You come, too.
I'll be right there.
Psh!
Here it comes.
Huh?
Ugh... I didn't have time to take paid leave. Why are they getting mad at me?
So your break starts tomorrow?
Yes.
That's great!
You've been busy for some time, you must be quite tired.
It would make me happy to see you have some R and R!
Since I've got some time off, why don't we take a trip somewhere?
Mm?! This will be my first trip with you!
We did go to that beach in the other world.
And the supermarket!
That doesn't really count as a trip...
Is there somewhere you'd like to go?
Mm? Maybe the supermarket in the next town over.
Another supermarket?
Koenji said they have good fried tofu there.
All right. We'll go get some tomorrow, then.
Okay! Also, it might be a little early, but...
Cherry blossom viewing?
Mm?!
You said you wanted to go, didn't you?
You were quite drunk then-- I'm surprised you remember!
I can remember that much! Though I don't remember anything after...
Isn't it good to be honest?
Well then, to celebrate the beginning of your vacation,
why don't I open up Senko's Izakaya again?
"Senko" Sounds good!
"Senko" Mm!
Hello?
Kuroto, sorry to call you so early.
Mom? What's going on?
Well, you see... Your father has just been taken to the hospital.
What?
I think he's okay, I just thought I'd let you know.
Okay. Got it.
That reminds me...
Something bad may happen. Take care.
Something bad...
It can't be...
Why don't you head home?
Huh?
It's been some time since you returned, hasn't it?
Yeah, I guess. A few years...
You've finally got some time off--
It might calm you down to go see their faces.
You're right.
But I promised to go out with you today...
Will you take me out next time you have a chance, then?
It's not like the supermarket is going anywhere.
Right.
All right.
I'll be off, then.
Mm!
Will you be okay here by yourself?
I've been fine all those times you spent the night at the office.
That's true.
It's fine. No matter how far away you are,
I'm always watching over you!
All right, I'll leave my smartphone here.
Use it if anything happens.
Someone isn't listening.
Smartphone, huh?
You don't need to take it with you?
It's okay, I have my work phone.
Eep?!
"Nakano (work phone)"
Press here to answer.
All right. Here, huh?
Hello, can you hear me?
You're right in front of me. Of course I can hear you!
Right. So, when you want to call...
Fine, fine. Now if you don't hurry up, you'll be late!
Okay.
Goodbye!
Bye!
Nagoya, Nagoya.
Thank you for riding with us.
Track 11 for Hida Takayama...
The Wide View Hida No. 11 at 12:48 will be departing momentarily.
"They've got wasabi in them. Be sure to chew them well!"
"To Takayama General Hospital"
"Takayama General Hospital"
Mom?
Kuroto!
I'm sorry to make you worry like that.
I guess your father had a little too much fun at his class reunion.
He got drunk, fell over, and broke a bone. Goodness!
I'm just glad it wasn't something big.
You be careful, now.
Okay.
Mm?
It's been awhile, but it looks like they're back together.
I suppose I'll get going, too.
Mm?
Senko! It's me, Koenji.
Thanks for the food! It was delicious, as always!
I'm glad to hear it.
Are you heading out?
Yeah, just a bit.
Did something happen?
Mm...
It's going to rain. You may want to bring your laundry in.
Huh? Rain?
Goodbye!
See you later!
Oh, it's raining!
Senko is amazing! The weather report said it'd be sunny!
Oh! My laundry!
I'm going to take a walk.
See you later!
"Nakano"
I'm home, Grandma.
Plum blossoms...
It was Senko...
If that was my ancestor...
It's fine. No matter how far away you are, I'm always watching over you!
So Senko... She's always been there...
"Nakano (work phone)"
Huh?
"Super Senko-san Time"
"Super Sora Time"
Welcome home. I've been waiting for you.
Another long day of work for you...
Sen said she'd be out today,
so I, Sora, a fox demigod that has lived many thousands of years,
will have the pleasure of taking the most thorough care of you.
Please, take one.
I do hope that you like it...
Oh, please.
It was not I that made these.
Sen was the one.
Don't hold back now. Please, partake.
Hmm? Is something the matter?
You're stacked and can't eat anymore?
Oh, you meant stuffed? Mm!
Is that so? Well then...
Why don't you lay down next to me and go to sleep?
Oh, please! Are you really going to sleep?
Oh, you scoundrel, you!
Good night...
