Alright.

Well then, I'm leaving. - Alright, be careful.

Bye, Dad. - See you later.

Huh? Airi? Airi!

I'm sleepy. I won't go to kindergarten...

What's wrong, Airi-chan?

She's sulking because she couldn't talk to Mom on the phone.

I see...

I'm tired of fried eggs. I want Mom's fluffy scrambled eggs.

Seiichiro ate his food properly. Airi, just eat it and put up with it.

I always have to put up with stuff!

Huh?

Seiichiro gets to see his Mom all the time, eats meals with her...

But I never get to see Mom at all...

There's nothing we can do, right? Mom's in Hawaii for work.

Come on, cheer up and eat your breakfast.

I don't want this!

Hey! If that's how you feel, then don't eat! Do whatever you want!

Papa and Daddy's Home Cooking

Yes! We look forward to hearing from you again.

I messed up... - Well then, goodbye.

Ah, excuse me.

Tetsu-san, the afternoon appointment got canceled.

Have we got any other appointments today?

Nope... none.

Then let's close for the afternoon.

Huh? Seriously? - Put up a sign. I'll head out first.

Yes! Comment: 0,0:02:15.00,0:02:19.00,Default-B2,,0,0,0,,Umm... ahh...!

It's been a while...

Closed this afternoon

Hmm... I can't eat anymore...

I'm hungry.

Dad!

It was a dream...

Damn! It's time to pick her up...

Huh?

Tch... What the hell!

Damn... I'm done...

Sorry I'm late.

No problem. Airi-chan, Seiichiro-kun, it's time to go home.

Yes!

I'm sorry, I still haven't gotten in touch with Sengoku-kun...

I called the clinic too, but it seems they're closed for the afternoon.

Eh?

So Akutsu-kun, you don't know where Sengoku-kun went either?

Yeah, that's right.

Did he seem different in any way?

Hmm... Well, I guess his mood was a little off compared to usual...

Is that so...

Ahh~ I'm starving...

ROAR! - ... to the answering machine service...

I'm gonna eat you! Roar! Roar!

... Please leave your message.

I've picked up the kids and I'm already home.

Please call me back after listening to this message.

I came back to life. I came back to life.

But Seiichiro, I'm gonna eat you. Roar! Roar!

Ow! It hurts!

Airi-chan, what's wrong?

It's about Dad, it's because I'm a bad girl, that's why he won't come home?

Why do you think that?

Because I said things like “I don't want breakfast”

and “It's unfair that Seichiro gets to see Mommy all the time!” I was being selfish.

I see...

Dad was really mad at me.

Maybe Mom won't answer the phone because I'm a bad girl too?

Airi-chan, that's not true.

Airi-chan isn't a bad girl at all.

Mom was just really busy with work.

And Sengoku-kun just went out because he had something to do.

It's okay. Airi-chan, you don't have to worry about anything.

Will Dad come back?

He'll come back.

Airi-chan, you're waiting for him, so he'll definitely come back.

You must be hungry.

I'll make something delicious for you today, so wait a little longer.

Alright! Then, play together with them for a bit.

Triceratops is huge! Huge! - Nine meters...

Ta-da! Tonight's dinner is yakisoba!

Yakisoba is prepared by frying ramen-style wheat noodles with bite-sized pork and finely chopped vegetables.

Smells good! Looks delicious!

Alright, on the count of three... Thanks for the food!

Thanks for the food.

Delicious! - So good!

I'm glad you like it.

Airi-chan, this yakisoba...

it's actually the first dish Sengoku-kun ever made for me.

Daddy made it? - Yeah.

It's an important memory with Sengoku-kun. Would you try some?

Delicious!

It's cold...

Sengoku-kun

Connecting to voicemail service.

Still no contact, from Tetsu-san? - Yeah...

I hope he hasn't gotten caught up in some trouble or something.

Harumi-san, you and Tetsu-san have been friends for a long time?

Yeah.

Somehow, your personalities are so different, it's a mystery how you're friends.

Is that so?

We met when I was job hunting at university, and Sengoku-kun was in his third year of high school, I think.

Huh! That's ancient!

It all started when I hurt my back on my interview day and ended up

going to the chiropractor's clinic where Sengoku-kun's mentor worked back then.

Sengoku-kun was working part-time there.

This might help now, but it's better to keep coming for a while.

Yes. Thank you.

I'll give you a ride. It'll be bad if you're late for the interview.

Huh... No, but...

It's fine, just take the ride.

Here.

We can't afford to let you repeat a year!

Shut up, old hag!

Make up your mind already, graduate or drop out and get a job!

Don't act all motherly only when it suits you!

Huh? You're the back injury from the other day!

Ah... I'm Harumi. Hello.

Here.

Um... Thank you for giving me a ride the other day.

Oh. - Thanks to you, I got the job offer...

Seriously!? That's great!

So, as a thank you...

It's my first time seeing someone go out of their way to bring sweets.

Thanks. - Not at all.

So... what's inside?

It's huge.

Whoa~! This is awesome! Let's eat it together!

Um... earlier, you mentioned something about repeating a year...

Ah... I failed my final exams and need to take a make-up test or I'll have to repeat the year.

That's tough.

Well, I was planning to work after high school anyway. Dropping out or graduating, it doesn't really matter to me.

But getting a job is totally different depending on whether you're a high school graduate or a dropout.

You should take the make-up test.

At this point, I don't even know where to start studying.

Seriously, if you're gonna say that, you should teach me.

Sure.

Nah, just kidding! I was just kidding!

I tutor part-time, so I'm good at teaching kids.

But, I'm not a kid!

Oh... Sorry.

I can't do it! Yes, it's impossible! It's impossible! - It's not impossible.

Ugh...! - Come on!

Come, you'll do it!

Here. - Ahh~!

Take this.

Huh? What's this? Handmade? - Yes.

Seriously!? You're a god!

Well then, let's get started right away.

Awesome!

Harumi, how do I solve this?

This part is a bit tricky, right? - Yeah.

Graduation Certificate

Sengoku-kun! Congrats on graduating!

We did it! Hey, look at this! Look at it! Look! See?

Stop...!

Whoa~!

It's nothing special, but it's my way of saying thanks for everything.

Well then, thanks for the food.

Yeah! It's delicious!

Right? - Yeah.

I put oyster sauce in as a secret ingredient.

Huh~! That's awesome.

I'm not really into cooking at all...

My damn old lady can't cook a thing. The only thing she can make is yakisoba.

So it's the taste of your mom's cooking, then?

No way. It's got my own twist on it.

Delicious!

It really is weird that we haven't heard anything from Sengoku-kun.

I'm going to go look for him.

Akutsu-kun, please stay home and watch here.

Hello?

I'm really sorry. Is Airi okay?

Yeah. She ate dinner and just went to bed.

More importantly, what happened?

Well, I took my bike for a long ride for the first time in ages,

and my phone died, plus I ran out of gas...

Just now, I stopped at this restaurant... and they're taking care of me.

Ah... Anyway, I'm just glad you're safe.

Don't worry about us. Just rest well and come back.

Ah, sorry about that. I'll leave it to you.

I'm sorry for all this trouble... You were also about to close up.

Don't worry about it.

More importantly, you've had a rough time too.

Lately, every gas station around here has gone out of business.

Seriously, if I hadn't found this place, it'd be over for me.

It's chicken meatball hotpot. - Thank you.

Thanks for the food!

Delicious! This feels so good!

Of course it does!

This broth is the best!

Is this bonito broth?

Oh! You got it!

Then there's vegetable broth too.

The peels and roots you'd normally throw away those are the best.

They give the broth sweetness and depth.

I see. I'm really learning.

I wish I could made them try this too...

Come on, young man, have a drink too. Eh?

Ah, well... there's an empty room upstairs. If you want, you can stay over at our place

Thank you.

Yes... here.

Dad, make sure you only have one drink!

Here comes another noisy person.

I wonder who does she take after?

I wonder who it is?

Sorry for dragging you into this.

Dad's always loved drinking with guests.

No, I'm really thankful... you're a real help.

Don't push him too hard. - I know!

Hey... hey...!

Well then, take your time.

She's a good daughter, huh. - No, no, no...

She's like this now, but during her rebellious phase, she was awful.

“I hate you!” “You're a damn old man!”

After Mom passed, it was tough raising her alone.

That's why I was extra happy when I got to have a drink with her.

It kinda made me tear up.

I wonder if such a day will come for me too...

Um... Sorry, I think I'll head home.

It's my daughter, it's not like she's waiting... but

It's just... I...

Ah! Next time, come the two of you.

Yes.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

I see. So you went on the bike to clear your head...

I get the feeling, but you know, I was really worried.

I'm sorry.

Airi-chan said something.

She said it's her fault her daddy doesn't come home.

And that's why her Mommy doesn't call her either.

That's not true!

It's us adults who are making Airi anxious...

And after being apart all day today, I realized...

no matter where I go or what I do,

I just end up thinking about Airi all the time...

I'm falling more and more for Airi...

You have to tell her how you feel...

she might not understand otherwise!

Dad!

Good morning, Airi.

There there...

Airi... I'm sorry I disappeared yesterday.

It's my fault, right?

Because I was a bad girl...

That's not true.

But yesterday...

If Airi does something bad, of course I'll get mad.

But you know what? No matter how bad Airi is,

I'll never hate you,

and I'll never leave your side.

Ever?

Yeah. I'm your dad, after all.

Yeah!

Ta-dah!

Tonight's menu is chicken meatball hotpot!

Alright, everyone, hands together...

Thanks for the food!

Delicious! - Is it good?

Delicious! - Oh...

You two, be careful, it's hot.

People can really change, huh.

Hmm?

No, I mean, until now, even when I ate something delicious

I never thought about wanting to eat it with someone else, or wanting to cook it for someone else...

I never had a place to go back to...

But this is where Sengoku-kun belongs, right?

Yeah, that's true. - Yeah.

This is awesome!

It's delicious!

We'll take care of her.

See you! - Bye-bye!

Have a good day. - Good morning.

I'll take care of them. - I'll leave them under your care.

Good morning! - Good morning.

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

Mom came secretly to see her grandchild

The unresolved conflict with the mother...

Becoming a parent made me realize...

My feelings for my child

She went to the kindergarten?

How about meeting her once?

I have nothing to talk to her about.

But... I'm telling you I don't want to!

She cares about you.

You struggled alone. I understand.

Mom's here with you.

But I just can't bring myself to meet her.
