Original subtitles

Sorry I haven't been able to call you.

It's OK, I'm happy. Mom, are you doing okay?

I'm fine.

How about you, Airi? Are you getting along with Dad?

Hey, Maki, you don't go calling me “Dad” too.

Well... why not?

Right~.

Whatever...

Oh, you know? Airi can eat carrots now, right~?

Yeah! I love carrots!

Huh? But you used to hate them so much. What trick did you use?

Well...

Dad, are you okay?

Ah... Sorry. I'm fine.

First, we cut the carrots...

She just told me that it might take a bit longer for her to get back over here.

Huh? Really?

Yeah. Seems it's pretty tough after all.

It's totally fine, but it looks like things will still be hectic for a while...

Yeah...

Speaking of which, what happened with Akutsu-kun?

Ah.....

Well...

So you haven't been able to get in touch at all?

Well, There's nothing more to do. That's just how it is.

Ah! It's here! - Ooh!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Wow. Ah, it's fine.

Here you have. - It looks delicious...!

Thanks, big sis.

Enjoy your meal. - Yeah.

What do you say? - Thanks for the food!

You guys, I'm eating too, so make sure to leave some for me.

Eh? You're eating a parfait?

Not again...

You're being rude again today.

Huh? Wait, did we take out the trash?

Yeah, I went just now... - Oh, thanks.

There was this guy who looked like a freeloader. - A freeloader?

This totally typical blond guy was apologizing to some woman. They were arguing like crazy.

You're probably just saying that so you can run away.

You always say nonsense.

Believe me.

Juri-chan, ever since you got a boyfriend and kicked me out, I've been sleeping at internet cafes.

So just wait a little longer. I'll do my best to make sure I can pay you back.

At least eat your meals properly.

Thanks.

See you.

I survived...

Hey!

Eh!? Why are you here?

Are you a stalker? - It's just a coincidence, you idiot.

More importantly, what was that?

No, um...

She's like... my ex-girlfriend... Or rather, I was just staying with her...

Anyway, let's go!

Huh! Wait... what's going on?

Shut up. Just shut up and follow me, you. - Let go of me, okay?

You really do complain a lot, you know. - Seriously... Where are we going?

Papa and Daddy's Home Cooking

Just follow me. You'll find out soon enough.

Nah, I'm just... going home.

Shut up. Can't you walk any faster?

Your hair is all sparkly.

Hey, hey, can I touch your hair?

Yes... it's totally fine if you touch it...

Amazing. Wow.

What's going on here?

Airi, Seichiro. That guy's my employee.

Keep him company until dinner's ready.

Employee?(Buka) Is this big bro called Buka?

Hey, Buka~ Let's play!

Um... I think I'll just head home. - What are you talking about?

You're here to have dinner! You probably haven't eaten anything decent anyway.

I said I'm fine with dinner and stuff.

Um... Can I ask you a favor too?

I have to go for a meeting right now,

and it would really help if you could watch the kids.

Even if you say that...

Hey, Buka! Let's go play now.

Let's play! Let's play! Stand up! Stand up!

Over here.

It's Mr. Octopus, see?

Help! Help! Cheep!

I saved him. - He started crying.

Help me, it's scary.

I'm scared~.

What's with that face?

Nah... I was just thinking you cook for yourself.

Huh... Well, of course. Come on, eat before it gets cold.

Put your hands together.

Ready... Thanks for the food!

Delicious.

Is it? - So good~

Oh.

I don't like veggies~...

Eat your veggies.

Eat your meat too.

Eat the onions too.

Don't quit.

Come back again starting tomorrow. - Huh?

What's this?

A spare key to the clinic. You can stay there until you save up enough money.

Huh...? - You're in trouble, aren't you?

If you don't want it, that's fine too.

It feels weird saying this myself...

Is it okay? Trusting me so easily?

Buka, are you already leaving?

Eeeh~ I wanted to play some more...

We'll continue next time.

Huh? Really? Yay!

You just made a promise, you know?

Hey.

Good morning.

Two weeks later

Huh~ That's great, Akutsu-san is back.

Seems like he's gotten pretty used to it.

Well, guess he's got a bit more motivation now.

He's learned the job and stopped slacking off.

This means you'll finally have more time for treatments.

Well, if things go well.

Oh! Next time, why don't we invite Akutsu-kun here too?

Sounds good. Let's all make something delicious together.

Well then... maybe I should make him cook as rent money.

I wonder if he can cook?

Nah... probably not. That guy.

Good morning.

Tatsuya!? Hey!

Tatsuya!

Ouch, ouch, ouch...

So... what's this about? How did you end up like this?

I was tired and just... I fell with a thud.

Then I hit the register like... with a bang.

And my butt went boom.

You mean you fell?

Whatever. I'll check you over anyway. Lie face down.

Okay.

Lift your leg.

What's this?

Ah, I hurt my Achilles tendon a while back.

It's totally fine now though.

Were you doing something?

Playing basketball.

I was on a pretty strong team back at school, I worked pretty hard.

I did well at the prefectural tournament too...

Well, it's just past glory, I guess.

Thanks. - Take care. Stay safe.

Thank you.

Alright. I'll go pick up the kids.

Take care of the clinic while I'm gone. - Got it.

Be right back. - Yes. Have a safe trip!

Don't mess with me, damn it.

Hey. - Please calm down...

Looks like you've asked Juri for money again.

What kind of nerve do you have? Pay her back right now!

No, I told her I really don't have it right now.

Anyway, this is between me and Juri-chan.

It's not really your business, big bro.

Ah, fine then. If you don't have it on you, let's just borrow it from here.

Huh? What are you doing?!

Ow! Let go!

The clinic got nothing to do with this!

I'm sick of you.

Whatever. Just hurry up and pay her back.

Or I'll come back again.

We're back.

Ah, it's Akutsu! - Hey, let's play together!

Welcome back. - Let's play with the stuffed animals again!

Hey, come to our house.

Hey, I'm talking to you!

Oh, sorry...

Um... it's already late today...

Hey~ Let's play. Let's play! - Hey, I said...

Um... - Huh?

This is sudden, but I'm quitting today after all.

Huh?

Well... I thought about it a lot,

and I want to find a better-paying part-time job.

What? Out of nowhere? - I mean,

I quit once before, and somehow I ended up back here.

I don't even get why.

So, I'm grateful for letting me stay and all...

But...

You...

Are you running away?

If you're serious, I won't stop you.

But honestly, you don't look like it right now.

If you're gonna lie, at least make it a better one.

So now her current boyfriend came to collect the money?

Yes.

And then... I thought,

what if... he came when Airi-chan or Seiichiro-kun were there...

I can't cause any more trouble for the clinic...

I'll just get a cash advance somewhere... - Are you stupid?! No way, debt's out of the question.

So, what should I do?

Get a doctor's certificate or something like that?

A doctor's certificate...? - Yes.

Since you were assaulted without provocation,

if you get a doctor's certificate from the hospital, you should be able to report it to the police.

Another possibility... were there any security cameras...?

Ah! Hold on a sec.

I'll take notes now. - Oh, of course.

But I'm glad... you're here to help, Harumi-san. - No...

It's just... a bit reassuring, I guess.

Ah... no, no. I'm glad I could help,

but it's only temporary and won't be a permanent solution...

...I know. - Yeah...

Whoa, seriously...? - What's wrong?

Well, I was planning curry today, but we're out of roux. I totally forgot.

Should I go buy some?

Nah, let's make a change in the menu. We're having meat and potato stew instead!

Ah, sounds good. Almost the same ingredients anyway. - Yeah.

Keep on talking later and help me over here. - Got it.

Sorry for the interruption.

You two, wanna help out too?

Yaaay! - Wash your hands first.

Hey, Tatsuya, help out too!

Nah, I'm not really into cooking... - Just wash your hands!

Hurry up!

You two are so skillful.

Well, we always help out, you know~. - Yeah!

Isn't it dangerous? - Ah... It's fine. As long as we're here.

Airi, Seiichiro, can you help out a bit?

Yes. - Yes.

It's pretty amazing, huh? Two dads being roommates.

I guess.

It must be tough in lots of ways. You two have totally different personalities too.

Harumi-san, you're super kind, right?

Ah... I think Sengoku-kun is kinder.

Huh? Seriously?

He's scary, that guy.

Like today,

he cornered me saying, “Are you gonna run away?”

He says that because he's kind.

When he says “Don't run away, ” he's not cornering you

he's pushing you forward.

Like, “You can do it.” “Go for it.”

He's always like that with the kids too.

He's just clumsy at showing it.

Harumi, bring me the carrots! - Ah, okay!

Ready... Hey!

Whoa~! It worked! - Amazing!

It looks delicious! - Yeah!

Alright, let's get ready then.

What are you spacing out for? We're almost done.

Um... Sengoku-san.

Hm?

I'm heading out now.

So...

could you give me a push?

Huh? - Please!

I don't really get it, but...

Here we go! - Ouch...!

Hey... that's not “pushing, ” that's “punching.”

We want to do it too! - Oh.

Thanks.

I'm heading off now.

I wonder where did he go?

I don't know... but

guess he decided not to run away.

That was delicious. - It was, wasn't it?

Thank you. Thanks for the meal.

Ahh... The drinks were good too, huh? - Seriously, it was great.

Tatsuya...

I'm really sorry for everything until now!

No, you... You've gotta be kidding us! What the hell are you doing coming all the way here?!

I... I wanted to properly apologize, so I dyed my hair black.

I'm an idiot, so I didn't know how to apologize...

Huh? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Just give her the money back already... - Wait!

Just let us talk for a moment.

Alright.

So...?

When I... couldn't play basketball anymore...

I lost all motivation and was just drifting around, but you supported me so much.

Yet I just kept leaning on you, and I didn't pay you any attention at all, Juri-chan.

But finally, I found something

that made me think, "This might be it..."

My salary's still low, but I'll definitely pay you back, so...

It was the blonde I dyed.

It's the same for me.

I just wanted to spoil you my way and didn't really see you, Tatsuya.

I'll wait for you. You better pay me back properly someday.

Hey.

Good morning! - Morning.

That hair looks good on you!

Looks tasty! Thanks for the food. - Yeah.

The flavor's really soaked in!

The meat and potato stew tastes best the next day.

That's pretty amazing. - Huh?

This stew was supposed to be curry at first, right?

Yeah...

But then it got reborn like this, as stew...

Like it bounced back from failure.

Ah... Yeah, I guess.

When I got hurt, I thought my life was over too...

But then, thinking about how I'm working here now and got to meet you guys, Senkoku-san and all...

well, maybe it's not so bad after all.

Don't try to sugarcoat it.

Huh? Why?

You were kinda touched just now, right? - No way.

Ugh... You're even blushing.

You've got a surprisingly cute side, you know. - Huh?

You're gonna get every one of your pain points hit, you hear me?

No, why?!

Yeah! Oh! What a delicious day! Yeah~

Struggling through the dazzling night and day

Things don't go as planned, and there's a lot of anxiety

But I'm not the only one trying my hardest

You're the same too

Ah-Even if you're different from everyone else,

Don't compare yourself to others, believe in yourself, and it'll be okay.

Now, after, we all eat lots of delicious food together

Let's try our best again starting tomorrow

With love

The fun and joy, the reasons for the tears you've been holding back,

And the aching wounds deep in your heart, don't think about them alone.

Let's talk and share, that's the recipe for happiness.

On shiny days, on rainy days, because I want to savor life together

Hey, even today, which passes in the blink of an eye just like always

Because we're all here together

It's a special Happy Day

Live true to yourself with Pride

Let's make dreams and wishes come true

Carve today into your eyes and heart

Yes, every moment (every moment) every moment (every moment) is precious, every day

Next episode preview

My only son is acting spoiled!?

With misunderstandings...

the distance between our hearts grows

Is being too kind a bad thing...?

Don't wanna!

I'm definitely going to kindergarten tomorrow.

That's unusual. Seiichiro getting this angry...

I guess I don't understand how Seiichiro feels.

You're too kind. That's just how you are.

Is being kind really such a good thing?

Your kindness is your strength.
