Original subtitles

Oh damn! It's already this late! Seriously...

Good evening!

I'm Airi. - I'm Seiichiro.

Here's a summary of what happened so far.

This is Sengoku Tetsu.

This is my dad, Harumi Masahiro.

Could you take care of her?

Well, after a lot of things happened, the four of us ended up living together...

It seems tough for men, the unfamiliar territory of childcare

Vegetables kids dislike

we chop them up like this and mix them in, so they won't notice them.

It seems Airi-chan got into a fight with her friend and hit him.

I didn't do anything wrong! - Why did you do that?!

Listen to her carefully.

Takeru-kun called our house weird...

Hitting someone just because you're frustrated doesn't solve anything.

Our house... is weird.

But we'll make our house just as fun as any other house.

Let's make sure we can proudly say that having just dads isn't so bad after all.

And now, this week's story... begins!

So it's a promise, then.

We absolutely have to have the party at my house that day!

Yeah! Let's all eat together too!

But who's gonna cook?

Well...

I'm here.

Hey. Oh, he's here!

Airi-chan's dad will be cooking? - Yep!

Awesome~! - Yeah!

Airi, you're getting pretty hyped up.

Hey, next week Tiara-chan and Sumire-chan are coming over to our house for a party.

Please make some delicious food!

Huh!?

Really? - Seems like it...

Oh... Sorry about my kid.

You shouldn't have made plans without permission.

This must be a bother... Don't worry about it.

Ah, no. It's totally fine with us.

Right? - Ah... Of course.

Then it's settled! Yay~ We're having a party!

Party! Party! Party! Party! Party!

Party! Party! - We're having a party!

Party party party time!

Party party...

Papa and Daddy's Home Cooking

This is the first time friends are coming over to our house, isn't it?

Ah. Since we're having them over, we should make it fun, right?

Well, in a way, this is also an opportunity.

What do you mean?

It's a huge chance to show everyone that our house

isn't weird, but it's a fun place!

So let's give them a proper welcome and left them speechless.

Ah... But how?

They'll be starving when they arrive... That will be our target.

Ready...

Hello! Nice to meet you.

Yes. Airi-chan, Seiichiro-kun, nice to meet you.

Oh! Today, my little sister Akane-chan

will be helping us too.

I'm Akane. Nice to meet you...

Yes! Smile, smile!

So today, we're going to make

the perfect menu for a home party with kindergarten friends,

We're making mini pizzas!

You thought of that! - Yes!

You can make pizza at home? - Of course.

Today, we'll make it from scratch, starting with the dough.

Yaaay! - Great response.

Great response.

Alright, let's get started. - Okay.

Oh, it broke apart. - Aww.

Mine also came apart...

Roll the dough into a ball so no air gets trapped inside.

So no air gets trapped inside, huh. - Rolling it... Rolling it...

Wow~ This is fun.

It's like clay! - Yeah, it is.

That one fell apart.

Oh... By the way, if you place it like this and roll it around like this,

you can make it nice and round.

Roll it around in your hands, roll roll roll~.

How's that? - Fun.

Fun? Oh. Roll roll roll.

It's cold and feels nice. - So soft...

Nice! - See? It turned out better than before, right?

Mm-hmm. Your doing it, yes. - It's good, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, exactly. - Yeah!

Please make it into a ball. - Done!

Then this one too, and this one. Mm, roll it around.

...You're actually being a good parent.

Did you say something?

No, nothing.

Huh... Sorry.

No, no... - It kinda looks like ice cream.

Did it turn into ice cream? - Nice, nice.

But we have to make it round. Roll it...

Look, it stretched more than before. - Really.

Hey, look. - Huh? Pretty. It's a nice round shape.

How's it? - Yeah, you did well.

Ah, the size is just right. - If you prepare it

so everyone can add their own favorite toppings like this,

I think they'll all be happy.

Perfect for kids. - Yes.

Wow. You two are both so good.

Huh? Pretty. Pretty. - Look at mine too.

Yeah, it's amazing. You're really good.

It's big. - Hey, it's big, isn't it?

Can you make it a little bigger?

Yeah, yeah. Airi-chan, squeeze it a bit more.

Huh~. Pretty, pretty.

Amazing. Ah, that looks good.

Want to try one more? Another one?

Yeah. - Let's go with another one? Okay.

Alright, let's go. Here, thank you.

Ah, it's done, done.

Airi-chan, you did really good too.

Sensei... Stop it!

Harumi-san, you think so too

that I can't do it anymore...

that I can't draw anymore...

That's what you think, right!?

No!

Let me die...! No!!

Let go of me...!

Damn it! Damn it…!

Don't push yourself too hard.

Harumi-san... um, here, please use this.

Ah... sorry.

It's embarrassing for a grown adult to not even know how to use a knife, isn't it?

Not at all. There are tons of people who don't cook.

You can totally cut it with scissors too.

Um...

Start by making a cut at the top, then

slice along this indentation. Then just use your hands for the rest...

Hey, hey.

Like this? - Whoa~.

Thank you. - You got it.

Hey, I said! - What is it?

Hey, look, look. Isn't this good?

Yeah. You did well.

Dad, look at mine too. - Hm?

Oh, it's a nice round shape.

Let's do it together, Dad. - Is that okay? Alright, let's do it together.

You want to roll it together?

How's it looking? Good? - Yeah.

What kind of pizza should we make?

Hmm... Why don't we make it a big one? - Yeah!

Is there something wrong?

You know... Come to think of it, Airi

has never called me "Papa" or "Dad."

I wonder what she thinks of me.

But, she knows you're her father, right?

But maybe she hasn't accepted me yet...

I don't think that's the case, though.

Well... It can't be helped!

I hope everyone enjoys the pizza.

That's right.

What shall we do after we finish eating the pizza? All together...

How about playing word chain? - Oh, that sounds good.

Let's do that! - Yeah!

Today we have a party! Party at Airi's house!

Hello. - Oh, hello.

I'm here. - Ah!

Seiichiro's Dad, we've been waiting for you. - Sorry to keep you waiting.

Come on, let's go.

Um... are you sure? I know it's a bother after all...

No, no. Besides, both my son and Airi-chan are looking forward to it.

Well, this time... we'll take you up on your offer...

We'll come pick them up later. - Yes.

What's wrong, Takeru-kun? - They didn't come to pick me up yet.

It seems Grandma's leg hurts and she can't come...

Takeru-kun, Mom and Dad are at work and I can't get them on the phone.

So, how about we wait here a little longer?

So, do you want to come to my house?

Is that okay...? - Yeah.

We're home!

Welcome back! - We're home.

I'm home! - Hello!

Yes, come on in! - Hello!

Takeru-kun, over here. - Okay.

Sorry, Takeru-kun was invited suddenly.

Takeru-kun, I'm sorry about yesterday.

Yes. I'm sorry too.

Let's play with the dinosaurs! - Sounds great!

Alright, everyone, wash your hands first.

Yaaay!

Ooh~. So, what if we put something on top of that?

Then cheese! - Cheese? Oh, okay.

Put lots on. - Put shrimp on.

What's this? - Hmm... zucchini?

Asparagus. Asparagus. - Asparagus.

Hey, hey. How's Airi's?

It has plenty, so it's good, right?

Hey. You did a good job.

Airi-chan's dad. - Hm?

Look at Tiara's too.

It's cute.

This really shows personality. - Yeah.

Yeah.

Airi-chan's dad, you can cook, right? That's amazing!

I thought Airi-chan's dad was scary.

I thought you were weird people too.

Because Mom said,

“That house is weird, so be careful.”

Yeah, that's right. Our house is weird.

But you know, our food is super delicious

and every day is super fun! Right? Seiichiro.

Yeah! I have fun too!

Alright! So, everyone, let's start baking the pizza soon.

Yeah.

Be careful not to drop it, hold it slowly. Okay.

Can you hold it?

Let's take this one, okay?

They look delicious. Can you see? Look.

It's getting more and more delicious. - Ooh~!

Yeah!

Yes~

Excuse me.

I heard you took Takeru here... I'm truly sorry for the trouble.

It wasn't at all... - Mom, listen, now...

Takeru, let's go home. We'll leave soon.

I wanna stay a little longer. - What are you talking about? We're going home.

Ah! We were just making pizza together. Takeru-kun´s too was just about to come out of the oven.

Pizza...? - Yes.

Huh? - Takeru-kun's is tuna mayo pizza.

Takeru-kun, yours's ready. - Yeah.

Takeru-kun's mom, would you like to join us for dinner?

Ah... no, I...

We have enough for adults too. Please.

Mom, eat with us. - The pizza's going to be delicious.

Ah... no... wait...

Here. - Thank you...

Alright. Now, everyone, clap your hands together.

Ready... - Let's eat!

Delicious!

Awesome! - It tastes good, right?

Making the dough from scratch was worth it!

Huh? You made everything from scratch? That's amazing...

There's plenty, so don't hold back. Eat up.

Hey, hey, I made this one. Mom, try some.

Is it okay?

Mmm! Delicious.

The crust is chewy. - See!

Mm. Thanks.

There's more for the ones who want seconds.

Anyone want seconds?

Yes! - Oh!

Alright, we'll work hard making more.

What about Seiichiro? - I'm in.

You're in?

Alright, next up is Tiara.

You really help me today.

Um... Dolphin! (iruka)

Face. (kao)

O o o... Old man. (oyaji)

Old man...?

oyaji: middle-aged (or older) man; old man

That's what Papa calls Grandpa.

It's been a while since I saw Takeru smile like that.

Usually, I'm working, so he doesn't get many chances to play with friends.

Today, you really helped.

When you're in trouble, we're all in this together.

I... didn't know the whole story, but

when I heard two fathers and two kids were living together...

I just didn't get it... I ended up avoiding you two.

I even told Takeru it was a weird household.

I'm really sorry.

Nah, nah... Well, I guess from the outside, we certainly do look a bit strange.

Woodpecker. - Hm?

Woodpecker. - Ki...

Woodpecker. - Ki... ki... .

Um... I'll ask while I'm tipsy...

How did the two of you end up living together?

Well...

Airi-chan didn't seem to have much appetite today either.

Please keep an eye on her.

Understood... Excuse me. - Yes.

Alright, Airi, let's go. Yes, come on.

Sengoku-kun...?

Ah, it really is you.

I'm Harumi, the one you helped when I hurt my back during job hunting.

Do you remember? - Of course I do.

I remember you!

How long has it been? - How long has it been? It's been a few years.

Is your back okay?

Same as always. - I'll do it for you in a moment.

Yeah. You've grown up a lot.

What? Like you're implying I was childish back then.

No, no... That's not what I meant.

Huh? How old are you now? - I'm already 32.

I didn't ask about your age.

Seichiro-kun

I'll go check if your dad called. Wait here a sec.

What's up?

My dad hasn't arrived.

Oh, Airi. What's wrong?

He said they're not picking him up yet.

Harumi...?

Here.

Yes... - Harumi!? It's Sengoku.

Hey, are you okay?

Dad...? - Harumi, what's wrong!?

Sorry. My... my back...

You pulled a muscle! -...Yeah.

Dad, are you okay?

Ah, don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Just hold on a sec.

Sorry, Seiichiro.

It's okay. It's okay. It's around here. It hurts... - Yes...

Hang in there. Hang in there. - I'm really sorry...

It's fine.

So,

for the time being, Airi and I were staying at Harumi's place until he could move again...

That's what led to this, right?

Back then, Sengoku-kun looked like a savior to me. - No, no. I was saved too.

Raising a kid alone was pretty tough...

But now, working together like this feels really good, doesn't it?

Um... can I tell my mom friends about you two?

I think some people might be wrong about you like I did.

Ah... sure, I don't mind.

Oh, right. Tiara-chan's mom and Sumire-chan's mom are coming later, right?

Yes.

Then how about I contact them and invite them to drink with us now?

They both like drinking, so I'm sure we'll all get along well!

Sounds good. - Please invite them.

Okay!

Cheers! - Cheers!

That person is drinking way too much~.

He's probably the most drunk, right? - No, no...

Hey, Airi-chan. - Hm?

Why don't you call him Papa, Airi-chan?

Huh...?

He is your Papa, right? - Yeah. That's true, but...

It just spilled out on its own.

You need to drink a lot.

Bye-bye. - Bye-bye, Airi-chan.

Bye-bye, Airi-chan. - Thank you.

Bye-bye.

It was really delicious. - Thank you.

Bye-bye, Airi-chan. - Bye-bye.

Come visit anytime~. - See you at kindergarten!

Bye-bye. - Take care.

Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!

Bye-bye! - Alright, everyone, let's clean up together.

Alright! - After we finish cleaning up,

let's all play together. - Sounds good.

The pizza party was a huge success!

Yeah. It's great we got to know the other moms better too.

Yeah.

Airi, Seiichiro. Did you have fun at the party?

Yeah, it was fun! - Oh.

Oh... What's up?

...m. - Huh? What?

Old man. Thanks for today. It was super fun!

Old...man!?

Yeah! Airi's old man!

Shouldn't that be Papa or Father...?

It's fine, old man.

Is it?

Alright.
