If there's anything you want to tell me,

I'll listen attentively too.

I wonder if that's good.

- I'm back. - Welcome home.

- How's Yutaka? - The fever hasn't gone down yet.

Is he alright?

Minoru?

I had a dream.

Someone's big hand

was gently stroking my head.

That day, Minoru's shoulder was warm and comfortable

and I fell asleep

before I knew if the medicine was working.

In the end, I didn't get around to tell him.

[Get well soon.] [For now, here's your Christmas present.] [Minoru]

Is Yukata-kun alright?

Yeah. Seems the fever is down already.

I'm glad it was nothing serious.

Minoru, you really like Yukata-kun, don't you?

What are you talking about suddenly?

- Then, I'm gonna go shopping. - Yeah. Have a nice day.

I'll be back.

If there's anything you want to tell me,

I'll listen attentively too.

Okay.

Sorry, but it's a little unreadable.

Merry Christmas, Yukata!

I'm so happy.

Thank you.

This was made by Nii-chan and Tane.

Inside it's a normal hotcake.

Indeed! It looks delicious.

They're small so we stacked up several layers.

Hey, hey, can I eat Santa-san?

- Sure you can. - But we made it for Yutaka.

What a sound!

Santa-san is delicious.

I'm sorry. Even though you invited me, I couldn't come on that day.

That's alright. We had Christmas twice so it was a good deal.

You, what a good deal is that!

There's creme on you.

Speaking of it,

it's belated, but here are my Christmas presents for the both of you.

Hurrah! Yukata, thank you.

A dinosaur!

Thank you.

That...

Thank you for this.

Seems we had the same idea.

- I'll taste the cake. - Yes, eat it, eat it.

- How is it? - Delicious.

I'm glad.

I'm so glad that you like it.

- I guess I'll open mine too. - Tane-kun, thank you.

Thank you for the other day.

The noodle soup was delicious.

And you even cleaned up.

Say,

as for what we talked about then...

Yukata! Look, look!

This is the present I received from dad.

Now I can draw as much as I like.

That's good.

Yukata, draw something too!

- What should I draw? - Draw a reindeer.

Yukata-kun, welcome...

Tane-kun, come here. Help me knead that clay.

Together, let's make a giant poop.

- What? A giant poop? - Come, come, come.

- Yukata, when the poop is done, I'll give it to you. - That will be fun.

Then, let's make it.

Impressive. He's painted a lot, huh?

All the time since Christmas.

- He said he would draw 100 pictures of his friends. - I see

That's probably you.

Really?

A very small Yutaka. So it looks.

Still, when I was very small, I actually wore such glasses.

Hello.

Hello.

Um...

Well...

How shall I put it,

can I

today

tell you about me?

Go ahead.

When

I was still small,

my true parents died.

But when I was 8 years old,

I was adopted by relatives of mine.

They were very rich.

My new mother and father

raised me as if I was their own child

and I grew up without any hardships.

I guess I was lucky.

But, my 5 years older brother

seems to have never accepted me.

You,

don't you know how to eat?

Yuki!

Somehow the meal tastes bad when he's here.

In retrospect, that may have been all.

But,

such an atmosphere every day was depressing.

This isn't really your home,

and father and mother

both belong to me alone.

Before I became aware of it,

I began to take my meals by myself.

In those times I used to eat feasts day by day,

but I barely remember how they tasted.

When I was grown up,

I left my parents,

but I had no friends or people I cared about.

I was

always afraid to sit at the dining table with other people.

The dishes of my true parents

I can't remember

so I don't have

any remembrance of a happy dining table.

That is

a great loss for a person, I think.

But,

at that time...

Yukata, eat together with us.

It's enough if you just come.

...I met two people.

Taking a meal together

made me happy for the first time since I was born.

Therefore,

what

I'm trying to say is,

"Thank you

for approaching me at that time".

Yutaka...

- Here. - Thanks.

Yukata, the poop is done! Quickly, quickly, come see it!

Nii-chan, Nii-chan

made Yukata cry!

Yukata, don't cry!

- Really, there's no need to cry. - Yukata!

- Yukata, don't cry! - Seems he misunderstood, sorry.

- Yukata! - Come on! Tane!

Come on, it's all right. Be quiet, be quiet.

Have you calmed down?

I'm sorry that I shocked you.

Yukata, were you bullied?

No.

Why did you cry?

Did anything sad happen?

Shall Tane make you feel okay again?

It's okay, it's okay,

it's okay, it's okay, it's okay...

Thank you, Tane-kun.

I'm alright.

I hope here are no hungry kids.

I'm a riceball so I might get eaten.

- There you are, Riceball-man! - You formed a face?

On Tane's request, I created the Riceball-man series.

We're delicious!

Tane, which one do you want?

- This one, this one! The cheese Riceball-man. - This one?

Yutaka?

Then, I take this one.

They're too cute to eat, aren't they?

- They don't care. - Tasty.

Tasty!

It reminds me of the first day we met.

In the park Tane-kun was staring at my riceball.

- The bomb! - Right, the bomb.

Minoru was really upset.

Hey, hey, let's have a showdown with Riceball-man.

- How shall we do that? - First, we do this to accumulate the Riceball-power.

Then, we do this and this.

And then this.

Minoru, say, you seem to be good at drawing.

Why?

The faces of the riceballs were cute.

Really?

Then, I will draw something next time.

I'd like to see that.

The year is almost over, isn't it?

That's right.

What will you do? Stay at home?

And you?

At New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

I think I'll show up at my parents' house within the first 3 days of the New Year.

Is that a good idea?

Speaking of it, Tane wants you to visit a shrine with us.

- I'll go, I'll go. - There's a very good sweet red-bean soup shop.

I see. Then let's definitely eat there.

I've almost never visited a shrine at New Year so I'm looking forward to it.

It's cold.

Yutaka, lend me your glasses.

Here.

I want to try them on for once.

Some people have good eyesight.

How is it? Do they suit me?

- They do, they do. - I'm glad.

Thank you. For everything.

I'm glad that you're here.

Minoru?

What's wrong?

Well,

um...

I mean,

it's rather me who should be thanking you.

You may not remember, but

at that time you approached me first.

Minoru?
