Nanaka still hasn't come out...
Though her friends are already here.
Do you know where Nanaka is?
- Nanaka-chan is not here. - Yui! Come on!
Nanaka.
Nanaka!
Mama!
Nanaka...
- Where have you been? - I was there!
- Nanaka-chan! - Ah! Aoi-chan!

HOLIDAY LOVE
Making sushi is so fun!
[A New Hope]
Right now, I am...
...looking at Junpei with such a pleasant feeling.
Even though there were times where I suffered,
it was simply just a one-time mistake.
That's what I'm thinking.
Nanaka, what do you want to eat next?
Eggs and cucumber!
Okay~
Having meal together with Junpei,
Nanaka's smiles,
I came to know that...
...these are all my happiness.
To maintain...
...this dining table as an important thing,
- that's what happiness is to me. - Huh? What's the matter, Azu?
Well, I put too much wasabi.
- Oh, please~ - Please cut it out!
Is it that strong? This wasabi?
Ah right! What does "future mama" mean?
"Future mama"?
Where did you hear that?
Some random auntie said that to me.
- When was it? - Uhmm.. I think it's today.
- Where? - Uhmm... At school.
Nanaka.
What kind of person is she? And what did she say?
Please tell us properly.
When I was walking with my friends after the graduation ceremony,
this auntie told me to speak with her for a bit.
What kind of talk?
Hmmm...
She asked me about my favorite food.
Also my favorite place. Something like that.
Then, when we finished talking, she said...
I'm your future mama.
Your future mama.
I'm sure...
...that person..
... is Rina-san, right?
- I think so, too. - If something happens to Nanaka...!
Should we...
...call her husband?
Yes. This is Izutsu.
This is Takamori.
What do you want?
Is it about the settlement money?
Settlement money?
You're right.
I've been preparing it, so I'll transfer it to you soon.
It was...
...my daughter's graduation ceremony today.
A woman,
who seemed to be Rina-san,
went there.
She seemed...
...to be talking with my daughter.
She said she was her future mama.
My husband...
...has already come home.
I hope...
...this won't happen again!
Approaching my daughter and all...
I can't stand this fear any longer!
Even though you told me this,
right now,
we're a couple only on paper.
- We've cut ties with each other. - But still,
She is your children's mother, isn't she?
That's true, but...
There's nothing I can do for you.
Papa! I want to pee!
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
Let's tell the police, shall we?
It might be better.
- Is it good? - Yes.
Today, I'll be working in the afternoon.
So, you'll go to Asami-chan's place.
Papa will pick you up later, okay?
Yes! What's for dinner today?
Curry, maybe?
- Will it be okay? - Yes!
- It's your favorite, right? - Right.
Azu, a call for you!
Thank you.
Hello.
The other day,
I responded your call in an immature way.
I'm sorry.
Here, I'm returning it to you.
- But... - It's fine.
We've hurt each other anyway.
Please?
I and Rina...
When I said we're a couple only on paper,
that's the truth.
Even after we seperated,
I can't stop hating her.
I think I've been distorting myself.
The opposite of "affection*"... [*Aijou]
...is exactly "love and hate*", right? [*Aizou]
But,
Our separation has been prolonged...
And there are...
...a lot of things I've realized for the first time,
while spending time to interact with my children.
I know about..
...how my child is willing to fold my laundry.
I don't mean to brag, that's...
They're nice children, right?
Yes.
However,
the one who raised such children is...
...Rina, after all.
If we talk about her,
as a mother,
she might have been doing it well...
This is Papa's favorite hamburg steak~
Kids, sit down.
If you think...
...you've been bonding with your children,
then,
I think you really were.
Also...
...what I've been thinking about is...
I really,
as a father,
as a husband,
have failed.
Until now,
I've been very busy being chased by work.
Also, at first,
for Rina who grew up in a poor family,
I wanted to give her a better life, even just a little bit.
But, after some time,
I've been showing some kind of attitude, like, belittling her for all the hard work I've done.
It's true that I've worked for my family with that kind of attitude.
It's also a fact that I...
...didn't even care to see my family's existence in front of me.
In the end,
what I'm trying to say is...
Rina...
She has become what she is now,
it was all my fault.
At this point...
Maybe it's already too late...
It's already too late, right?
But...
If I were you,
when I noticed that...
...there is another start, I will do it.
Hello.
Please help me once again...
It's a little later...
When there's another gap between them...
Gap, huh?
- I don't think I can do it anymore. - Please do!
- What are you planning to do? - She was once swayed by you,
- There... - That's impossible!
No matter who the other guy is,
she's already realized the importance of her husband,
so, they're going to live together for the rest of their life, right?
The rest of their life...?
I mean...
- I don't want to cooperate with you anymore. - Even though the injury incident you've been desperately hiding will be exposed?
Your brother, who went to college, has now become an employee of a top-notch company, hasn't he?
You've earned the tuition fees while running away, right?
I even know the company's name and which department he's working in.
- You're brother might be in trouble... - I've told him everything!
And?
I'll turn myself in.
I will never...
..cooperate with you again!
Why...?
If I keep running away like this,
I will forever be unhappy.
Because I met a person who made me realize that.
You're so stupid...
The stupid one...
...is you.
Do you really think...
...that Junpei-san guy is going to see you again?
It will never happen.
Just cut it out, and come to your senses!
Is it Rina?
Yes.
I'll let you meet the kids.
Really?
Yes.
Where are you now?
Tokyo~
Is that so?
Then, tomorrow...
Tomorrow...
I'll take them there.
It's ready.
It's hot!
Kai, you want strawberry jam?
Me too!
Kai...
It's a good suit, right?
Is this all right?
Kai, put this on.
Remi!
Come here.
- Are we going somewhere? - Right.
We're going to meet Mama.
- Mama? - We're going to meet Mama?
- Hooray! - We're going to meet Mama!
Where is Mama?
She'll be here soon.
She'll come soon?
That's Mama!
Mama!
Kai! Remi!
I'm sorry.
I missed you.
Rina...
Isn't it enough?
What do you mean?
Do you want to come back?
Everything that has happened,
let's just forget it and forgive each other.
From now on,
it will be the new start of our family.
It's not a joke.
When it comes to bullying,
only the bullies will forget about what they did,
while the victims will remember it forever.
I will take the kids.
Is that so?
Understood.
In the first place, the one who made you become like this...
...is me.
All this time, I've been only thinking about myself...
At least, from now on,
I want to put..
...my children's happiness first.
Financially speaking,
I'll do the best I can to help.
Kai and Remi...
Please take care of them.
That goes without saying.
Kai-kun, Remi-chan. Let's go!
Papa...
Kai...
Because you're a boy,
you have to...
protect...
...Remi and Mama properly, okay?
Papa...
Then, let's go! Kai-kun, Remi-chan.
I want to be with Papa!
So does Remi-chan~
What are you talking about?
I've always been wanting to see you, you know.
Whether it's Kai-kun or Remi-chan,
I will never leave you both!
I've always thought about you two.
I'm sorry, Mama...
I didn't intend...
...to show up in front of you again, though.
That woman,
Izutsu Rina,
still hasn't given up yet.
I think she will do something.
What do you mean?
Anyway, be careful!
Bye!
I'm sorry! I'll wipe it off now!
I'm sorry.
You okay? Are you sick?
No, I'm fine. I'm sorry.
Azu-san.
Hello.
Please...
...don't get involved with our life anymore.
Everything that comes out of your mouth is always the same.
I have lost everything.
But why?
Why are you the only one who doesn't lose anything?
But you...
You already have adorable kids, don't you?
Your husband too...
- He's trying his best to... - My children chose their father!
Both Junpei-san, and my children...
Although I've been planning to raise Nanaka-chan as well...
Why...?
Why Junpei...?
Why do you cling to Junpei so much?
Cling to him...?
Junpei-san doesn't belong to you.
I should have married Junpei-san. It was a mistake to marry my current husband.
How come...that far...?
When was it again....?
- At the family restaurant, we should order hamburger, right? - Right~?
Nanaka wants the kids lunch menu!
I'm very hungry~
It was at a family restaurant...
There are a lot of families like that everywhere.
But...
To have fun and laughing together like that, that image was something I had been longing for...
I felt really envious...
At that time...
Fire!
Everyone! Calm down!
Remi!
Nanaka, let's go!
Kai!
What are you doing?
Stand up, quick!
Kai!!
Let's go!
It's all right now.
Where's you mom?
- Over there! - Kai!!
- Such a relief. - Junpei!
- I was really worried! - Are you okay?
If I were her...
If he was my husband...
Kai, is the cream soda tasty?
Yes!
Remi, come here.
You're just as cute as Rina!
Didn't you...
...meet Junpei at the wedding venue in Shizuoka, by chance?
Did you make it...
...look like coincidence?
I don't really care about such trivial things.
What's everyday life to you...
...is something I've been imagining all this time! That ideal family!
And yet, why did he choose the wrong partner to marry?
- What are you talking about? - More importantly, it's about the future...
If you don't want to be apart from Nanaka-chan, then you can have her.
I will also tell Junpei-san to properly fulfill his responsibility.
What do you mean...
...by responsibility?
I mean child support.
Junpe is..
...our family!
- He's my husband! - For now.
Junpei said..
...you were a mistake...
You're wrong!
His marriage with you was a mistake! Besides, he just hasn't noticed yet!
What should I do...
...to make you understand? - That's my line! How to make you understand?
You...
..fell in love with Junpei only in your delusion.
Can you understand that???
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be conveyed to you.
We have decided...
...to start over again.
Well..
No matter what happens,
we will never be separated again.
"No matter what happens..."?
Yes.
What is...
...happiness to you?
Having Junpei-san by my side,
- that's my happiness... - If that's the case....!
...what about Junpei's happiness, where is it?
A person who doesn't want to live by herself,
...will never make someone else happy!
A couple...
...started as strangers.
It won't work out without mutual necessity.
Sure,
we both made mistakes.
There were also times where we didn't believe each other.
But,
still,
we have decided to live while being considerate.
Because we need each other.
That is...
...the answer...
...that we've come up with while suffering, as a couple.
Azu!
Junpei-san!
What are you doing?
The other day, did you come to our daughter's school?
Were you the one who spoke to Nanaka?
I only...
- Only... - Only what??
I'm sorry.
I thought I should do something for Nanaka,
I was interested in what kind of life you live in Tokyo,
- Then, I was at the graduation ceremony by chance... - By chance?
Do you how much we were worried about Nanaka who was already seen by you?!
I never meant to make you worried.
I'm sorry.
I was just calling Nanaka who happened to be in front of me...
The one who spread Azu's pictures around,
was you, right?
Do not ever...
...show up in front of us again!
No matter what happens,
I will never be with you!
No matter how many years, even decades, have passed!
No matter what happens, even if I die!
Even if I were born again!
I will never be with you.
Please leave right now!
If you don't leave, I will call the police!
Since then...
...that person never showed up again.
Without any disturbance,
we've been spending our days peacefully.
However...
I feel like someone is watching me.
But, that is...
...only...
...in my mind.
Your right hand, please.
While I am...
...hoping for nothing to happen like right now,
this uneasy feelings... Junpei!
...won't go away, why is it?
Take care!
Bye!
Junpei-san!
Koizumi! What happened?
Business trip! I'll be in the head office for a week.
Why? What's the matter?
Something about Junpei-san is on a bulk email!
From: Izutsu Rina. About: Takamori-shunin of Shizuoka perfecture's branch office. To : All employees of Kumaji-gumi.
I was...
...a part-timer at the Shizuoka branch office, I'm Izutsu Rina.
I was...
...having an affair with a chief named Takamori Junpei-san!
With the guy over there, Takamori Junpei-san.
We both had our own family.
But still,
Our passionate feelings couldn't be stopped!
We loved each other!
We were in love!
I have...
...lost everything.
Both my house and my children...
That's my punishment, but...
Takamori-Junpei...
...is the only one who lives as if nothing happened!
He moved to the head office by lying to the company saying he needed to take care of his mother.
As his wife also forgave him, he comfortably goes to work every morning!
Is this even allowed?
- Stop it! Let go of me! - Please be quiet!
YOU CUNNING BASTARD!!
YOU'RE THE WORST!!
ROT IN HELL!!!
STOP! LET GO OF ME!
- LET GO OF ME! - Please act properly!
LET GO OF ME!!
Hey, you!
After that, how is she?
I don't know about her condition,
but she seems to be hospitalized.
It seemed to cause an uproar at the head office.
Even the bulk email seemed to have been sent to branch offices all over the country.
I was having an affair there, with a chief named Takamori Junpei-san.
So, taking care of his mother was a lie...
It has become like this...
I think he was also suffering.
What will happen next?
Seems like he's applying for resignation
How about his wife?
I wonder what will happen...
A woman will always be more skillful than a man.
Don't get fooled...
...by the appearance and the aura.
Several Months Later
Haru-chan, please...
Whoa! I caught it.
It's all gone! No good.
I will place the additional cardboard here.
Okay~ Thank you.
- Azu! - Hm?
Will you bring this too?
I will throw that away...
Such a waste~
I can't help it. Because if we bring such a thing,
there will be no space to sleep. It's a small apartment anyway.
I see.
You end up losing your house and your job.
It can't be helped.
- We're back! We bought the tape! - Thank you!
- Thank you. Here the tape. - Give me one, too.
- Here~ Have some tea. - Thank you.
Sorry, to bother you on your day off.
No problem at all. It was a good exercise anyway.
Well.. Even though it's such a shame to let go of this house,
if you think about it, it's a good thing to sell it.
That's right. Junpei-kun also has found a new job.
Right!
It's all thanks to Azu that we can start over again.
The things I've done...
...have affected my family this much.
Thinking about something that has already passed...
...is pointless.
Because what's important is...
...the future.
We should try hard from scratch!
At this state, there's nothing left to lose.
Since I'm woking,
whatever happens,
we can continue to live!
I'm no match for her.
She's really a reliable wife.
- That's what I am, right? - Yes.
Marriage, huh?
How about that marriage-partner hunting?
No time for it. I was so busy!
My customer said...
...that there's a good matchmaking party.
It seems that only serious people whose identities are clear have come.
To meet someone at that kind of place,
it still happens, right? At this modern era.
Well... Surely.
Well... Thank you so much guys, for helping me today~ We finished so quickly! Thank you so much!
Also.. Let's drink, shall we?
- Let's drink! I will buy some alcohol! - I'll come with you.
- Then... Smoked eggs too, please! Buy the quails' ones! - Okay.
About that Rina woman...
I heard that she had survived.
I see.
Everyone can't get everything they want, right?
Even if it's painful,
we need to think about what to do next.
I think there are other important things too.
Like, if the other party is already happy and smiling, isn't it enough?
If we think that way,
It will be our own happiness too.
I feel like a lot of things have happened...
After we got married, we immediately built a house in this neighborhood.
There were also good things, and bad things...
People visit beauty salon...
...in order to be beautiful, right?
Even so,
most husbands couldn't notice the difference.
That is so disappointing.
Because...
If you don't notice it,
it means you don't look at your wife.
I'm a husband who looks at his wife properly.
You're right.
We forgot the quail eggs!
- Let's go back! - Really?
Asami-chan will scold us!
All right, time's up!
Gentlemen, please move to your next seat.
Nice to meet you. I'm Izutsu.
I'm Tachibana Asami.
Well..
I've been divorced once.
Me too.
There are many things that I've been reflecting on.
I don't want to make the same mistake, in the future.
Is that so?
- Director! - Thanks for your hard work.
Today, there will be 2 pairs.
Reika-san?
Azu-san!
Long time no see!
How are you?
I'm fine. You too, look fine, right?
Yes.
Mama, let's go!
Bye, then!
You and your husband...
...are twin souls after all!
Soulmates.
I don't believe...
...in that kind of stuff.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
What a great aura.
I will surely make you happy.
I feel...
...really happy.
Our married life...
...started from pure white.
There were...
..hopes and expectations.
There was only a cheerful thought about our future.
To such a white life of ours,
came the doubts and the betrayals.
Just like...
...black inks that have spread out.
I don't...
...believe you...
...anymore.
Once it had been dyed black,
It would never...
...return to its pure white color.
But now, I think...
Life is...
...something that I might not really know.
It could be about noticing someone's kindness,
or about the unexpected things that happen,
I'm off!
or about our encounter with someone.
- Papa's hamburg steak is tasty! - Those various events,
that have happened,
might be the reasons why...
...our life has become colorful.
- Let's do it! - Look here!
- One plus one is..? - Two*~ [*Ni]
Being a couple is also like that.
From now on,
we will surely add warm colors to our life.
Mama too, come here!
Okay~
From pure white,
we will create our own colors.
Maybe this is what they called married life.
What color it will become...
...depends on ourselves.
