Original subtitles

I'm a cat.

I still don't have a name.

This seems to be a famous quote from a legendary cat in the past.

I used to be just a normal cat.

Have you been doing well Nana?

Let's get going.

This is Satoru! He is my owner.

I met him 5 years ago.

Five years ago, I was still just a rugged stray cat.

I was a hunting expert but...

But there would be times I would mess up.

Hey! Cat!

Satoru was my number one fan.

In order for me not to get sent to the pound because of poor health...

This kind of fan was important to me!

But I was forbidden to meet with him.

He's so harsh as always.

I didn't let him touch or buy me.

The thing that changed my life...no..my cat life

Happened one day on a spring night.

I was on my way to the cat meeting.

Then my life was ruined in an instant.

The life of a stray cat is rough.

No one was going to come and save me.

No one was going to save me but then...I remembered him.

It hurts! Save me! Please save me!

Hey...cat....

I'm so glad...

You were calling me weren't you?

You called me didn't you?

You chose me. You still remembered me didn't you?

And this is how I became Satoru's cat.

He's not always dependable but...

As a cat supporter he does a pretty good job.

But more than anything...

He cried for my sake.

The Travelling Cat Chronicles

Presented to you by Rjgman56 subs

Sorry Nana.

That I couldn't raise you.

I'm really sorry.

I already heard this a thousand times.

My ears are going to fall off from hearing it so much.

Wait for me a little longer.

Long time no see! (Long time no see!)

Where can I park my car?

The parking lot is over there so you can park it in there?

Okay!

Nana!

Nana!

He's not coming out?

I think he will get out when he's used to it here.

I won't get used to it!

I'm not coming out!

I won't ask you for details about your situation.

But I know that it must be a big deal for you to have to give up your cat.

If you are okay with me then I'll gladly take him in!

Want some coffee?

The coffee I make might not be that good though.

Thanks! I'll drink it.

Where's your wife today?

She went back home. A lot of stuff happened.

But when I sent her a text about your cat...

She was the first one to offer to take care of it.

My wife loves cats.

That's why maybe she will come back if I have this cat.

Don't blame me if I run away once I get out.

For you to use me as bait to get your wife back....

You underestimate the great Nana!

Sorry, for getting you involved in something troublesome.

When I saw the picture I was shocked.

He looks just like Hachi doesn't he?

Isn't this actually Hachi?

Hachi? Is that my name plus one?

*Hachi means 8 and Nana means 9.

Time sure flies by doesn't it?

It feels like it was just yesterday when you were together with Hachi.

There's no way I would forget!

There's no way I would forget!

Is that right? Man, that brings back the memories..

Later Satoru! (Later Satsuki!)

Kocchan!

Wow....so cute!

I'm going to ask my Mom if I can raise it!

That's not fair Satoru! I was the first one to find him wasn't I?

Sorry! You were the first one to find him so it's your cat right?

He's so light! (Man, he's tiny!)

My Dad didn't let me raise it in the end.

Didn't you run away from home?

You're the one who told me to do it weren't you?

You look serious but you cause trouble!

Is that right? (It is!)

Hurry up! ( I know that!)

Over here! Over here!

Hurry up let's go!

Where did you guys go yesterday? (No, no, no!)

Hey hold on!

This is impossible for me!

Can you guys hear me?

Hurry up!

Wait right there! Hey! Wait right there!

What are you doing Kocchan? (Sorry!)

Hurry up!

They're right here sensei!

You're a liar Satoru!

You told me you wanted to run away from home too!

But you weren't planning to at all were you?

I stil don't know! From here on out it's gonna be one big journey!

There's no way we can do it!

There they are! (What are those two children doing?)

Hey! Get down from there Kosuke!

Stop screwing around!

I can't do this! My Dad is going to beat me!

Don't give up!

Once you give up then you're out of the game!

Aren't you already out of the game?

I'll leave it to you.

Satoru?

Get down! Call them down!

That's dangerous!

Don't come here!

If you come then I'm going to jump!

That's what Kocchan said!

Satoru!

That's dangerous! Get down!

Satoru!

Kocchan. Can you stand over there?

No, no, no!

I told you not to go overboard!

But you want to keep the cat right?

It's impossible! But...how about you raise the cat instead?

Are you okay if I raise it?

Wouldn't you normally entrust your friend with the cat first?

Dad! Mom!

Kocchan said that he wanted me to have the cat!

He said he wouldn't jump if we took it in!

Whether it's a dog or a cat! It doesn't matter, we'll raise it!

Kocchan! Don't do anything stupid!

It doesn't matter if its a crocodile or a camel! Please get down!

A camel can't fit into our house!

A little camel is fine! (A little camel is fine!)

I understand!

Alright! Alright!

You're so cute Hachi.

Hachi.

Hachi!

Hachi! Hachi! Hachi!

Hachi!

Hachi! Hachi!

Hold on Hachi!

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

If you chase him then he's going to run away!

Dad!

Dad!

Look! Look!

It seems like Satoru's fever went down. Maybe it's because of Hachi?

Did you get my cold?

It's okay, it's okay.

But...Hachi was a good cat wasn't he?

Your Dad told me about it when I went to your house.

He was always sitting on my lap.

He knew that you were in a bad mood.

He would always try to cheer people up when my family got into fights.

Your Dad is pretty weak.

Your Dad is pretty weak.

He really is weak.

What a bunch of children they are!

Mature men won't fight with women.

I put your pocket money in this coin purse and wallet okay?

Don't spend it all alright?

Use it wisely.

Also remember to do your laundry and put it in this bag.

Do you understand?

Listen to me!

I'm preparing you for your school trip!

That's right. You need to help her out.

Doesn't Mom prepare your luggage for you?

I'm busy with work!

Why can't you say "I'll do it from now on?"

If I do it then I'll forget a lot of stuff.

If you act like that then Satoru is going to learn from you!

You're acting too hysterical!

You're so annoying! (Hey!)

This is your fault to begin with!

Geez! I don't care anymore! Do it yourself!

You are in the wrong Satoru.

You need to apologize to your Mom.

Apologizing is useless!

Mom is really mad...

I'll teach you a good way to make up to her.

Give her a gift.

Isn't that too simple?

What are you saying?

I had a fight with her before I went on my business trip.

But then I gave her a gift and we made up 100%.

This is what you do if you get into a fight.

Then...what should I get her?

You're going to Kyoto right?

You can get famous blotting paper from there.

I bought it for your Mom when I went to the business trip to Kyoto.

She was totally happy.

Did you get into a fight with her at that time?

Don't ask that.

Listen up. I heard that you can buy blotting paper from a shop called Yojiya.

The paper that women use for their faces is super thin.

Yojia?

It's Yojiya. Yojiya.

Yojiya.

Did Mom like it?

She complimented me for having good taste.

There's no doubt about it!

Is that a compliment?

Sorry! That was a compliment wasn't it? Yeah...

How much pocket money did your Mom give you?

She probally gave me 3000 yen.

Hachi.

Hachi...

Two pairs of socks...some T-shirts...

Mom...

Sorry.

It's fine.

I was a little bit too much.

I'll go and get you a gift from the Yojiya shop.

Did your Dad tell you to do that?

That will be fun.

Go get to bed.

Good night. (Good night.)

I want to give this souvenir to my Dad.

My family didn't open up a shop...so maybe I'll do this one!

This cat looks like Hachi.

What are you going to get for your Mom?

I'm going to the Ya place to get blotting paper.

I forgot the name...

I heard that it was super famous.

I have no clue.

Does it have to be that?

Yeah. It's a gift so we can make up after all.

It would be good if I could remember it....

I'm going to go buy this!

Do you want to go check out that shop? (Where?)

Over there! Over there! (I found it!)

Thanks for coming.

Miyawaki-kun! (Yes?)

Come here Miyawaki-kun!

Come on!

What's wrong?

I'll tell you afterwards.

Let's hurry up okay?

Where are they going?

We're going back. (Satoru?)

I'm home!

Mom! I brought you a souvenir from Kyoto!

Shut up! Stop yelling!

We're going to go to Satoru's house now.

Hurry up and get changed.

Oh, that's right...Satoru went home first..

Did something happen?

His parents passed away.

You don't know? Stupid!

Satoru's Dad and Mom died.

It was a car accident.

They went out driving together...

Then they swerved to avoid hitting a bicyclist.

The bicyclist is safe but...

His parents died instantly.

Don't you feel bad for Satoru-kun?

It really is a pitiful incident.

Kosuke. Can you hold this umbrella for me?

I'm very sorry for the loss.

Hello!

Hello. Good work.

Sensei. Such a sorrowful thing happened...

How is Kosuke? (He is doing okay for right now.)

Let's sit down.

I think this is blotting paper from the Yojiya store.

It is gift to make up.

Satoru..

Thanks!

This is the first time that he's cried after coming back from the school trip.

He finally cried.

Thanks a lot!

Our family can't do this...

We have to take care of our grandmother, we are too busy.

Satoru is only in 6th grade.

You don't have to live with your grandmother.

Isn't it more important to adopt someone from the Miyawaki family?

Those two were a part of an opposed marriage!

It's troublesome!

He can only be sent to the orphanage huh?

That's true.

That should be fine right?

Umm!

I'll take in Satoru!

What are you saying?

You're not even married yet!

There's no way you can raise a child!

But Satoru is my nephew!

I should be able to adopt him!

No way!

She sounds like the supreme court justice.

But the law doesn't tell you how to raise children.

That's right! That's right! Raising children isn't just a logical process.

I didn't say that.

I'm saying that I want to take him in because I want to!

Besides, what's up with you?

You guys don't want to take him in yourselves!

If I say that I want to take him in then how can you oppose me?

Are you saying that you are fine with sending him to an orphange?

Man, she sure said it. I was a little shocked.

She has a temper just like her sister.

This sure is difficult!

Satoru!

Yes?

I just talked to my relatives but...

Would you let me take you in?

Live together with me.

Hachi can come with me right?

I work a lot...

I live in my company dormitory, I don't think I can have pets.

He's not a pet!

Hachi is my family!

Satoru?

Look!

This one too!

This one too!

This one too! This one too!

Hachi is in all of them!

Hachi is my family!

He's family!

Look! This one too!

This one too! (I get it!)

I understand! I understand! (This one too! This one too!)

I get it! (Hachi is my family!)

Satoru..(Look at this!)

Look! (I get it!)

I get it okay? (Look at this!)

Satoru! (This one too!)

This one too! This one too!

All of them! (I get it! I get it!)

Hachi is together with me!

Look! (Satoru..)

This one too!

（Sawada Photo gallery）

Hey Dad.

Yeah?

Can we adopt Hachi from Satoru?

We can't do that.

We definitely can't do that!

But Satoru's Mom and Dad died!

And on top of that Hachi is going to stranger's house.

It's too pitiful!

It's one of his relatives.

It's not a stranger.

But Satoru doesn't really know her!

Anyways, it won't work!

Cats can live for 10 or 20 years.

Are you going to be able to take responsibility for him for the rest of his life?

Of course I will! Let me take care of him!

Wait until you can earn your own money.

Don't get cocky!

I despise you Dad!

Kosuke!

He couldn't even take in a cat for his Son's best friend's sake.

I felt frustrated that I couldn't do anything as a child.

But you didn't resign though did you?

Haven't you taken over the photo studio?

When we talked about pictures...

That was the only time we had fun talking to each other.

When he announced that he was going to retire...

I suddenly felt pity for him.

Alright, this is the last one!

Give me your best smile!

Yeah!

Okay!

Thanks! (Yeah!)

But...

I feel some regret for inheriting this store.

Why?

It made it impossible for my wife and I to get along.

He told me to take it over now or else he will find someone else right in front of my wife!

It was such bad timing.

We had a miscarriage with our first child.

And at that time he told me this...

"I know that you are able to have kids too!"

And so that's why she went back with her family?

Yeah.

There are times when I wish he would just die.

Sorry...

Every parent and child have their own problems right?

I got along well with my parents though.

If your Dad was my Dad...

Who knows what would happen?

In this world..

Some people are not worthy enough to be parents.

Without a doubt.

It would be good if your wife can come back home soon.

I wonder?

She probally sees me as a useless man.

Conditioned responses are scary.

I'm still not able to talk back to my Dad.

No matter what happens I always keep my mouth shut.

For me to think that she might come back if I have a cat....

He might escape though.

Don't touch me!

You need to battle your Dad before you try to get your wife back with me!

Nana...

Hey...

Wouldn't it be better if you got a new cat for your wife?

If you adopted my cat...

It would look like you are trying to defy your father's feelings about Hachi.

But my Dad doesn't even remember Hachi...

But you do.

That's why if it's your wife's cat then there won't be any resentment attached.

A brand new cat is better.

Well, that's how it goes.

You need to escape from your father's shadow.

If we're talking about cats...

They become independent from their parents after half a year.

He really does look like him.

Do you want to touch him?

If he's in a good mood then he'll let you touch him.

I won't do that. He's not going to let me.

Thanks man.

Hmm? For what?

Well...I'm kind of grateful..

I still have friends who support me and are reliable.

I feel the same way.

It sets my heart at ease when I have friends who are reliable.

Later!

Come again!

Wouldn't it be better if you got a new cat for your wife?

Hello?

It's me...

Umm...

What?

Do you want to look for a brand new cat together?

What are you saying? There's no way your Dad would let you.

It's okay!

I won't let my Dad complain this time!

Oh crap! I didn't know!

Is the door inside closed?

I won't really run around.

Hello Yoshimine?

Perfect timing!

I couldn't give Nana away just now.

I'm sorry Satoru.

I just got a cat.

It's still a baby so it's going to be quite a lot of work.

Could you wait 2 or 3 months before you try giving him away again?

Is that right?

Man...I really am sorry!

No, no! That's fine!

I still have some other people who might take him in.

Thanks. Later!

See ya!

You are a cutie pie!

I was thinking about asking my junior high school friend if he could adopt you but...

He told me that he just got a cat.

He's a really good guy...

So that's why I thought he was the safest bet.

I don't have any intention to leave your side though!

Please don't send me off to these random people without considering my feelings.

But it's okay.

There are other people who can take you in!

I just told you to consider my feelings!

To Miyawaki：

Has Nana been adopted yet?

If he hasn't yet then give him to me.

Sugisuke

Alright!

Hey, is this really okay?

You don't have to worry about me driving.

I have a good driver's license record.

Well..that's true...

But you are driving long distances right?

What are you going to do if you get tired?

It's okay!

But more importantly the weather over here is great!

Mount Fuji is incredible!

Mount Fuji?

I'll send you a picture later.

You're going to like it.

Geez!

Because of my Aunt we are able to get a good look at mount Fuji.

How is it?

Do you like it?

It's nice!

Big things are good!

I wonder how many cats in Japan have seen Mount Fuji?

When I think about that it makes me feel special!

Sugi is a good guy too.

I'm sure you'll be able to get along with him.

Long time no see Miyawaki!

Long time no see! (I'm glad you came.)

I can finally see the Sugi boarding house!

It has a nice feel to it!

Pretty much.

Man, it is cold!

We're up in the mountains after all.

It's gonna get colder.

Want me to help you out? (No, it's okay!)

How's Chikako-san?

She's way too energetic like always.

Is that right?

Is this guy Nana?

Good afternoon.

Nana...

He's cute!

Ahh, before we get inside, let me introduce my dog to you.

This guy is called Toramaru.

Nice to meet you Toramaru!

Look, this is Nana.

What's wrong with you!? Go back to bed!

Don't give me this bullcrap! There's no way this guy can replace Satoru!

Hold on..Just you wait until I can get out!

Whatever! Just go back home!

Let me get out!

Let me teach him some manners!

Toramaru!

You'll be okay in here Nana!

Hey, come here Tora! Tora!

What's wrong?

Miyawaki...

Long time no see Chikako-san!

Are you okay? (Yeah, we're okay.)

We just got a little frightened by Toramaru.

Sorry!

He normally doesn't bark.

Don't worry about it.

More importantly...can we go inside?

It looks like Nana really wants to get out.

I'll have to discipline Toramaru.

Could you let him in for now?

That's true!

Welcome to the Sugi boarding house!

Is this your luggage? (Yeah.)

I'll take it for you. (Thanks!)

Let's go!

After you take care of your luggage you can come over here.

I'll make you some tea. (Okay!)

Nana!

I'm sorry for Toramaru scaring you earlier.

I hope you can relax here.

Thanks Chikako-san!

I'll be going soon.

Yeah.

I see.

If you were going to take me out, you should have done it sooner!

I was going to teach that bastard dog a lesson!

I heard about you from Chikako-san.

You're Momo right?

I'm Miyawaki Satoru.

And this is Nana!

I'll leave him to you!

Nice to meet you. Your owner is very polite isn't he?

That bastard dog can learn some manners!

We greeted him so politely yet he still scared the crap out of us!

It looks like you're going to get along with Momo.

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Welcome to the Sugi house!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Your two rooms are on the second floor. I'll take you up there.

I'm glad that the Sugi boarding house is doing well.

You guys were featured on the magazines huh?

Maybe it's because we allow guests with dogs and cats.

Guests with cats huh?

Was it your idea?

Did you guess it?

You're a cat lover just like me.

Looks fun! What are you talking about?

I was talking about how I'm grateful for your boarding house.

Have you been doing okay?

Hmm?

Your company is announcing a huge layoff right?

I heard about it from the news.

Yeah.

Is that why you can't take in a cat?

Well...there are other reasons too.

You being able to adopt Nana will really help me out.

He is a precious cat to me after all.

I'm not just looking for anybody.

If he's with you then I feel at ease.

Just so you know we are only giving Nana a temorary place while you find someone to care for him.

We will take good care of him but..

When you are able to find a way to care for him..

Then come back and pick him up.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Thank you very much Big sister!

That's just sweet talk!

No, you're number one in Japan!

Let me help you out!

No it's okay! (Come on!)

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Hold on...(I can't believe you!)

If you want to see my notes then I'll give them to you to take home!

But then you end up oversleeping!

I said sorry!

What?

If you're late for the exam again then it will be bad!

Look! Look! Look!

Isn't that Miyawaki from our class?

What's he doing in the middle of the river?

What are you doing?

The dog!

It seems like he's trapped in the middle of the river and can't move!

Come on! It's okay! Come over here!

Come on...come on...

What are you doing? We'll be late for the exam!

There's no way I can ignore this!

Go ahead of me! (It's okay!)

Hold on!

Over here! Come over here!

It's gonna be okay! (I'll help you out!)

Alright! You can come from that side and we can surround him!

Okay!

Hold on! Hold on!

I'll go!

Shuu-chan!

This is your chance! Grab him!

Wrap the dog in this!

It's okay! It's going to be okay!

Thanks!

Thank goodness! (It's okay! It's okay!)

I'm not saying that you are lying.

But...

But is something like that more important than the test?

The duties of a student is to study!

But there's no way we could leave him there...

It's just a dog though.

It was going to go to the pound anyways.

I'll adopt it!

You're going to start talking nonsense again?

I said I'm adopting it so I am!

I'm glad I saved his life!

I don't want him to be taken to the pound and adopted by some dummy!

Besides!

If a dog is just a dog then an exam is just an exam!

Why do you have to say so much stuff when all I need to do is make up the exam?

Hmph!

Sorry about that....

Yeah..

You'll make it up. (Okay!)

We're going home together huh?

It's okay!

You'll meet a lot of new friends when you come home.

It's going to be fun.

Is Sakita-san always like that?

She's always been an animal lover since she was a kid.

And her will is very strong.

You are childhood friends?

Shuu-chan!

Hey!

I told her to not call me that because it's too embarrassing.

It's fine!

You have such a cute and reliable childhood friend.

Huh? She's cute?

Yeah. She's cute!

But will taking that dog home be okay?

It's okay!

Her family really loves animals.

They have about 5 or 6 dogs and cats.

She has cats too?

She's more of a cat lover.

Can you show me her house next time?

I like cats too!

You're working?

Our school doesn't allow their students to work!

That's true but...

I don't really want to ask for pocket money.

I want to go to Takamatsu for summer vacation.

Takamatsu city in Shikoku?

What are you going to do there?

I want to go there.

To see a cat.

A cat? (Yeah.)

It's a cat we raised.

Thanks man.

You're actually working with me...

I'm fine with it but...

But aren't we just lying to Chikako?

But if we help your family's farm...

It's not really a violation of school rules right?

So basically she is pushing her farmwork on us.

When you talk about Sakita-san you're really harsh.

She's a good girl and she's cute.

You compliment her too much!

You can't say that in front of her! She'll get too smug!

Are you guys doing a good job?

You were complaining about me weren't you?

You were talking about how rude I am to people.

How did you know?

Her insight is too strong!

I knew it!

It was Sugi...(Hey!)

It doesn't matter who!

Hey!

Come over here and help us out!

Okay!

Miyawaki is a good guy huh?

I wonder if there is a girl he likes?

Alright!

Let's get to work shall we?

Do a good job!

Yeah!

Morning!

Morning!

It's summer vacation but you're up so early!

I made some plans with a friend.

I'm sorry for being so busy.

I don't think I'll be able to be with you that much this summer.

It's okay!

I'm in high school!

Is that right?

Well, I guess it's too late to say those things now.

Hey, do you have enough pocket money?

You don't need to hold back so much!

I'm leaving now!

See you later!

Hello?

Yes!

I'm sorry for being late...

You don't look too good...

Are you okay?

Hey Miyawaki! Don't push yourself too much!

I know you want to go to Takamatsu soon but....

Is it possible...

That something happened to the cat you used to have?

I got a phone call this morning....

He got ran over by a car....

He was a precious cat to you wasn't he?

He was family.

He was around when my parents were alive.

He was a cat that lived with me.

His name was Hachi...

Hachi...

You're so cute...

He was a kind cat.

Up you go.

Hachi! Hachi!

Hachi!

When my family got into fights...

He always consoled the loser of the fight.

He was always there for me....

What about your job?

Are you still going to do it?

I lost my reason to go to Takamatsu...

You have to go!

You have to get your money and say your goodbyes.

If really are sad about your cat that passed away then you need to say your goodbyes to him.

You don't want to miss it.

You need to go over there and grieve!

You weren't able to see him alive but you still need to see him!

If you don't grieve properly...

Your cat's soul won't be laid to rest.

Yeah.

Alright!

Let's eat this melon and get back to work!

Okay?

Come on, eat up!

Here!

Good work!

Good work!

Hey, Miyawaki!

I'll leave the souvenirs to you!

Like I said...

A souvenir!

Roger that! Big sister!

Later!

Later!

Hey Sugi!

You're too fast!

Sugi!

Hold on!

Let's go eat!

Okay!

You're going?

Are you coming?

I'm not going!

Why aren't you going?

Alright Sugi! This is your souvenir!

Oh!

Wow! These Udon noodles look so yummy!

Thank you!

Huh? What about mine?

Here! This is yours Big sister!

What is it?

This is from Yojiya?

What else?

Blotting paper?

It's so cute!

This color is nice!

Chikako!

Yeah!

Thanks Miyawaki!

Later! (Later!)

What did you get?

Yeah!

You went to Yojiya in Kyoto?

Yeah, I went there during my school trip in middle school but...

At that time my parents died and I couldn't give them the souvenirs.

I just thought this was a good chance.

What did you get?

So cute!

My Dad was right after all.

About what?

My Dad said that a good souvenir for my Mom would be blotting paper from Yojiya.

He said she would definitely like it.

I wonder if she would be that happy if she got it?

Thanks!

Yeah!

What is that?

What are you going to get?

Maybe I should get some omelet rice?

Maybe I'll get some curry?

But Omelet rice sounds good....

Thanks for the meal!

Hey...

Hmm?

I went to go see a movie while you were away in Takamatsu.

With Chikako.

If you were here then Chikako would definitely invite you too.

I asked her out when you weren't here on purpose.

I...like Chikako...

Ever since I was little.

I know that!

If you were with such a nice girl since childhood...

It would be weird if you didn't fall for her.

Oh crap! I'm gonna pay alright?

This is for the two of us!

Thanks for the meal!

Thank you!

Please...

Don't tell Chikako this...

If you said something like that to her then she would definitely...

Don't think like that. You are overthinking things.

Besides I'm going to transfer schools before I graduate.

I'm moving around a lot because of my aunt's work.

I knew that it was going to end up being a long distance relationship.

It's kinda unfair isn't it?

Let's go!

Thanks for the meal!

That sure was yummy!

Later!

See you tomorrow!

Later!

Why are you such a good person even though you are so misfortune?

I'm not really that good of a person and I'm not misfortune.

Your premise is really weird.

I'm gonna take a bath first!

Hey!

Give me some more wine!

Stop it already!

Let's go to the bar room!

Let's go to the bar room!

Hold on! Hold on!

Why? Why? Why? Hold on!

Why do I have to go with you?

I mean don't you want to drink where it's dark?

We can drink to our heart's content in the bar room.

What's that?

He drinks way too much!

I heard that he was his friend but...

I wonder if Sugi doesn't like Satoru that much?

It seems like Chikako used to like your owner in the past.

Is that true?

At least that's what my owner thought.

Is that right?

That bastard dog is Sugi's right?

That makes sense.

He wants to show Sugi his loyalty.

Toramaru is young after all.

He's a little too straight forward.

You seem to know everything about your owner.

We've been together for a long time.

It's been 15 years already.

If you are together for that long...

It must mean you're pretty happy huh?

That's true.

Yes?

Thanks!

Why do you have medicine?

The food was so good I ate a little too much.

Is Sugi okay?

Is he always that drunk?

I'm glad.

That you came.

He was really acting up today.

He really was.

He's kind.

He's so nice that he's a little weak sometimes.

There are times I feel annoyed by him.

But I always feel like I need to be by his side.

Sugi sure is happy huh?

Thanks as always!

How about we let Toramaru and Nana greet each other again?

Yeah. Thanks!

Thank you too!

I'm glad that you are relying on us.

Good night!

Good night.

Hey Toramaru!

Is this going to be okay?

He's totally fired up!

Go home!

When you are here then my master and his wife will always think about Miyawaki!

I wouldn't want to be around a brain dead dog like yourself either!

Damn it!

Go home!

I can't allow anything in this house that will trigger memories of Miyawaki!

Shut your mouth!

If you say anymore then I'm going to bring the hurt to you!

This guy smells like he cannot be saved anymore!

I told you to shut your mouth!

Nana!

I'm really sorry...

I'm sorry as well.

But I'm glad that Nana wasn't hurt.

I really wanted them to get along but I guess there's no helping it.

Momo!

It's fine!

There's nothing we can do about it.

Toramaru!

Be quiet now!

Thank you Toramaru.

I was worried about how I would get home but...

Thanks to you I'm gonna go home right away!

Leave Toramaru to me.

I'll have a proper talk with him.

Alright, I'll be going now!

Thanks!

Sorry about that.

I get it Momo.

Be safe out there!

I'm just going to say this now...

What?

In high school...

I liked you Chikako-san.

Did you know?

Eww! When were you thinking of telling me?

Even if you tell me something like that now...

That's true!

But...

I think it's a good thing that you didn't try to win me over.

Later!

Yeah!

Be safe out there!

Later!

What is it?

What do you mean?

It's nothing!

Aunt?

Yeah, I just boarded the ferry from Osaka to Kyushu.

Really?

I was sweeping the tombs of my parents so...

I'll probably get to your house late in the evening.

Sorry about that.

I couldn't be with you in the end.

It's fine!

Don't worry about it and have fun.

But...

But for Nana's sake you had to change your job even though it was a good one.

I got tired from the excessive work load.

I was planning on working at a law firm in Fukuoka anyways.

My seniors invited me a while ago.

But more importantly...are you okay with driving a car?

There you go worrying again.

It's okay.

Really?

Well...be careful though!

Yeah. Thanks!

Yeah...okay!

There's a ton of flowers here!

Hey..hey!

That's true. There's a ton!

Do you wanna check it out?

So beautiful!

Nana!

Look Nana.

Look. It's beautiful isn't it?

It's amazing Satoru!

It's endless like the sea we went across on the ferry!

Let's go Nana!

Nana?

Where are you?

Come back.

Nana?

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

Okay, okay! I'm right here.

Dummy!

If you get lost in a place like this I can't find you!

Don't just hide somewhere!

I was trying to tell you that I was right beside you!

I wasn't hiding out anywhere.

Don't leave me behind!

Be by my side!

You finally said what's on your heart.

I always knew that's how you felt.

It's okay!

Come on, don't cry anymore!

I would never leave you behind.

You got to the hotel safely?

Thank goodness!

Eat something nutritious okay?

Get some good sleep!

I know that!

Alright I'm going to bed. Good night!

Okay, okay. Good night!

Sorry Aunt...

1 year ago.

Satoru?

I'm here!

I got the essentials for now. But I'll get some more stuff later okay?

Sorry Aunt.

Hmm?

They said the surgery failed.

I probally have a year left or so.

Sorry Aunt.

Mom and Dad...

This is Nana.

Doesn't he look exactly like Hachi?

Nice to meet you. Hachi might have been a good cat too but...

I'm not bad either aren't I?

It's beautiful Nana.

There's seven colors in the rainbow.

It's a "Nana rainbow"

Satoru. It's beautiful isn't it?

It's a really really beautiful 7 colored rainbow.

It's a 7 colored Rainbow.

It's a "Nana rainbow".

The rainbow that day was my rainbow.

It was probally my destiny to go on this journey.

All that's left is in the back?

Yeah, there's two bags in the back!

Okay!

I'm glad you came safe and sound!

You didn't get lost on the road?

Your map was perfect!

You've always been like that.

That's the only good trait I have.

That's not what I meant!

It's fine! It's fine! It's the truth after all.

This is a beautiful house.

Your room is over there!

I'll bring you some tea.

Thanks! (Relax and take it easy.)

This is your new house Nana.

Now then!

Let me check it out.

Nariko!

What's wrong?

Nana just rubbed my leg out of nowhere...

I will get used to it!

I'll get used to it so give me some time.

Do you hate cats by any chance?

No, I don't hate them!

I'm just not good with them.

I was scratched by a cat when I was young.

You're really trying your best to adopt Nana.

Thanks.

But...

But the reason why I didn't adopt Hachi back then wasn't because I was bad with cats.

I know that.

Hachi was taken care of until the end. That's enough.

But nobody can care for Nana.

Thanks.

For adopting a cat

And even moving into a new house.

Nana! My aunt is going to take care of you!

Touch him.

He's so fluffy!

For crying out loud..what a worrisome person!

Satoru! I took care of the car for you.

Thanks!

Where was the thing I was going to give to the doctor?

Isn't it in the kitchen?

In the kitchen?

You don't have to worry about it so much.

I found it! I found it!

Satoru...

Does it hurt?

It's okay...

You need to take it nice and easy.

Even if he's laughing and going out for a walk...

Even if he goes to the hospital with Noriko...

I didn't notice the certain smell that his body had.

The smell that Toramaru smelled...was the smell of his life not being much longer....

Your cooking is just like my Mom's.

It has a sweet taste..

And it has stewed chicken and crab flavored mushrooms.

Our Mom died very early on.

For me the food that my sister made was just like my Mom's.

Maybe that's why I could easily fit into your life style.

I'm glad that you took me in.

I wasn't a competent guardian at all.

I mean..I said all those things to you when I first adopted you.

Aunt!

I'm ready.

Okay!

Can you sit down Satoru?

What is it?

You will find out sooner or later so I will tell you now.

Satoru...

You weren't related to your parents by blood.

Anyways...it's just too much!

I'm currently working on a case but...

I can't believe that a fellow human can do that!

How can someone do that?

They were saying that raising a child is too much of a pain!

Can you believe that?

Buying diapers is too much of a pain so they stopped feeding them milk.

Then because the baby is crying and hungry they lock them in the cupboard.

And they don't want to take the baby to the hospital so they just dump them outside like garbage!

They shouldn't give birth in that case!

Nori-chan!

What happens to that child afterwards?

The parent's relatives refused to adopt it...

So the only option left is the orphanage.

It was so good that you were adopted by my sister and brother in law.

It's a lot better than growing up with those kinds of parents.

Do you understand?

Even if it was true, I shouldn't have told you that.

I can't understand people's feelings at all!

You're wrong obaasan.

I'm glad you told me at that time.

You told me right off the bat.

I realized just how happy I was growing up.

Before you told me..

I never thought that my Mom and Dad weren't related to me.

That shows you exactly how much they treated me as their own son.

My own biological parents threw me out like trash.

It's a blessing that my adoptive parents took care of me that well.

I understand that!

When you took me in, I felt just as glad as you did.

But my work is always making us move so you must feel lonely.

You make friends then you are separated from them.

I have some friends that I met because I transferred schools.

I will ask them to take care of Nana.

They help me without asking me for the reason.

At crucial times...

There are so many friends who are willing to adopt the cat that I love.

I have a very happy life don't I?

Even if all my friends aren't able to adopt him...

You are the one who can care for him in the end.

You took me in...

And I can remember my beloved parents every day because of you.

There's no way I wouldn't be happy right?

And now I even have Nana.

At the last moments of my life...

I'm able to be with you and Nana.

You're crying...

Nana..

Come on, come on. Don't be crying your eyes out now.

Let's eat!

The stewed chicken was yummy!

Oh boy.

At times like this..which one should I console?

He needs to be accompanied when he goes to the hospital right?

Be me of course!

That's right Nana.

I want us to go together.

You're a good boy Nana. You'll be a good boy from now on right?

Has there been a time where I haven't been a good boy?

Hey! Hey!

Hold on dummy!

Stop with this bad joke!

You can be a good boy right?

Shut up! Being a good boy is for kids!

Leaving me behind is definitely...

Is definitely something I can't forgive!

Be a good boy, you idiot!

Who is an idiot here? Idiot! Take me with you!

There's no way I can take you!

I love you dummy!

I love you too, you dumbass!

Get back here!

Get back! Get back! Get back!

I'm your cat until the end!

I'm together with you!

Get back here!

Satoru! Don't leave Satoru!

Satoru! Don't leave! Come back Satoru!

Don't go Satoru!

Come back Satoru!

Satoru! Hey Satoru! Satoru!

Don't go Satoru!

Get back here Satoru!

We're going to start with the first procedure.

Please do.

Your daughter came to visit you just now didn't she?

That's right!

I'm home!

Nana!

Nana?

Nana!

Nana!

Nana...

Nana, the doctor...

Is letting you see Satoru. You can't be indoors but you can see him outside!

You did it Noriko!

You did good!

We're here Nana!

Let's go see Satoru now.

Satoru!

Nana!

Go and see Satoru!

Satoru!

You finally came.

I wanted to see you Satoru.

You smell nice.

You smell like the sun.

Cats and the sun God are good friends after all.

Now, now. Smell to your hearts content!

I've always missed you.

Nana...

I'm glad that you saw Satoru Nana.

Nana!

Nana you can't!

Hold on Nana!

Please Nana!

Nana!

Nana! Nana? Nana!

See you later Noriko.

Bye bye!

Now I can see Satoru any time I want.

I used to be a stray cat but...

I haven't been sleeping on the streets for a while so it's tough.

But I'm not going to lose!

I'm Satoru's cat until the end!

Miyawaki-san. The weather is great today.

Do you want to go see the beach?

That sounds good.

Yes?

I understand!

It seems like Noriko-san came to visit. Do you wanna go see her?

Is that okay?

Yes!

Nana?

I know!

I won't capture you anymore.

That's good then.

You are a dummy.

A huge dummy.

I came to see you.

I wonder if I'll be able to see you again Nana?

I'm the only cat for you Satoru!

I have every right to be with you until the very very end right?

Satoru!

Nana!

Nana! Nana! Nana!

Sorry!

Obaasan.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Can you bring the chicken meat snacks that Nana likes the next time you come?

I think that Nana is going to come see me again.

Alright, alright! I totally understand!

Miyawaki-san?

Have you drank your medicine?

Umm...

Do you want to go to the beach?

The wind sure is blowing huh?

I've come Satoru!

It's kinda like...

I'm remembering the past....

Are you talking about the time that you fed me next to the silver car?

I'll tell this to you now...

I was always interested in you since then.

These are the hands that always saved me.

I've always loved you.

The sea is beautiful isn't it?

Yeah. It is beautiful.

Miyawaki-san!

It's time!

Nana...

I'm glad that you were my last cat....

I've always known that....Satoru.

Satoru..Satoru?

Satoru? Satoru?

Nana? Nana?

Nana! Come on Nana!

Let me see your head.

It's beautiful Nana.

It's a 7 colored rainbow.

It's a "Nana rainbow"

Satoru? Satoru? Satoru!

If there isn't anyone else that needs to see him then...

It's best to be quick.

Umm...a cat...

Can I bring a cat? Satoru's cat!

Please don't ask me that.

If you ask us we can only say no.

That's right.

Miyawaki-san!

Nana!

Satoru...It's Nana!

Satoru?

Nana...

Is a good boy...

His heart has stopped.

He has no reaction to light.

He has been confirmed dead at 22:10.

The patient is deceased.

Thank you...

It's really bothersome.

That you brought a cat with you.

Please take it out right away.

Nana.

Was Satoru happy? Is it okay to believe that?

Of course he was Noriko.

Thanks for coming here today.

Our boarding house allows pets. It is a really good place!

Please come over and have some fun!

Can I bring my cat?

Of course you can!

I just got a cat!

Please look at this picture!

Is it cute? (It's so cute!)

He has won over my Dad even though he hates cats.

That's called a psuedo cat lover isn't it?

People who hate cats slowly start to become cat lovers after they raise them.

Oh, that's right obaasan!

Do you want a kitten?

Our family just had a baby kitten and we are looking for an owner.

Do you want to go see it?

I'll bring it over!

If Satoru's aunt took it in, I'd be happy!

That's true.

We can also take it in too!

We want to take in Miyawaki's friend's cat!

Really?

By the way....what kind of kid was he when he was in elementary school?

I wanna know!

He was a natural airhead.

An airhead?

When he was in high school...(Satoru..)

Everyone is talking about you.

I can hear your childhood friend's voice.

Chikako's voice and Sugi's voice.

I'm hearing someone's voice I've never heard before too...

I know that they really liked you.

Noriko is having a lot of fun too!

Satoru?

Even though you're gone...

You're connected to the people you loved.

They're talking about you in the past.

Can you hear them talking about you so happily?

Does the place where you went to have a rainbow like that day?

Wait for us for a little bit longer.

Someday I will go there too.

We'll continue our journey until we catch up with you.

I will bring you all kinds of stories.
