My name's Oki Yasuko.

Since I lost my parents in an accident, I've been living with my older brother...

and it totally sucks.

Though he makes his living from drawing comics for young girls.

In reality, he's more of a noisy bike gang member.

On top of that, he has rival ties with my first love's sister from that gang world.

There's no doubt that the situation is like Romeo and Juliet now.

For my love to blossom, I'll have to do my best for the two of us to stick together.

Yasuko.

Go buy flowers for the grave site visit next week.

I know.

That time of the year has come again.

Okay, I'm going to do it.

You won't regret it no matter what the results are, right?

Yes.

Oki Yasuko,

[Please input your name: Oki Yasuko Please input your partner's name: Tsubaki Jun]

Tsubaki Jun.

Your compatibility is...

[Results: Excellent!] [Love Advice: Your compatibility is excellent! You two are meant for each other. As lovers, as a married couple, don't worry!]

Ah! Yay! We did it, Erika!

Congrats!

Next, let's do you and that guy.

[Tsubaki Erika] [Oki Kenji]

Are you ready?

Yes.

[Doubtful]

Doubtful...

That's right. Kenji said that he won't marry.

This is my fate...

What are you saying?

It's alright. At least it's not "The Worst," it's just "Doubtful."

It just means that there's room for improvement.

Is that right?

Of course, it is.

Let's do our best!

Let's get those guys to realize our love.

Yasuko!

Is it okay to not work?

- I'm sorry. - I'll get going then.

Oh, yeah. Are you free next weekend, Yasuko?

- It's Jun's birthday. - Really?

Next weekend is...

Sunday, July 26th.

Ah... that day I have something...

Oh, you have plans?

Um...

It's the anniversary of my parents death.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say it like that.

It's okay. It's okay. Don't worry about it.

Thank you for the valuable information.

It's Tsubaki's special day.

I'll give him a cool gift..

Thanks Oki.

I'm very happy to receive this.

But for that to happen...

Um... about my allowance.

Mosu! You bastard, what are you sluggishly doing before deadline?!

I'm sorry!

Geez... Damn idiot.

About my allowance...

- Ajidasu! - Yes, sir!

What's with this frame, bastard!

Don't let your hand overdo it!

I'm sorry!

Do you want to die?

Huh, bastards?!

All the jobs here are too late for me.

Everything here is tight for my schedule.

Where should we go?

Aquarium!

I wanna go!

What, what? Aquarium?

Ah, Yasuko.

What's up?

Actually,

we have boyfriends now. You do your best too,

since it's our last summer break in high school.

N-no way!

I have to hurry it up with Tsubaki...

For that to happen, I'll have to ask him what he wants.

Um, Tsubaki.

Hm?

- What do you want most right... - Dear Tsubaki!

I heard that your birthday is next week.

Oh? Yeah, it is.

You should celebrate it with our beloved Shingyoji over dinner.

No, I don't want to bother since I'm celebrating it at home anyway.

Oh, is that so?

That's very unfortunate.

So, what Jun wants...

Yes.

Do you know if he wants anything?

You want to give him a present, huh?

Eh? No, not really.

Ah, doesn't he want that thing? You know, by Maeda Shinzo...

C'mon. It's this over here.

- Maeda Shinzo? - Yeah, yeah.

My brother's a fan of that photographer.

But which photo book was it...

It's this one.

The Height of the Four Seasons - Maeda Shinzo Photo book

Eck! 20,000 yen! (roughly $200 US dollars)

Well, it is rare, so it can't be helped.

20,000.

20,000...

It's okay, you don't need to overdo it.

I get money from my part-time job...

Eh? You have a part-time job?

I will soon.

Ah, but I have a curfew. So, I have to lie in order to work for only 2 hours.

But I'll figure it out. Thank you!

Yasuko!

How about working here?

Is that really okay?

If you do work here, you'll be able to see Jun, right?

Thank you so much, Erika!

- D-Did I make it? - Great Yasuko!

Really?

You had 1.7 seconds left!

That's great.

Don't be negligent!

Next time keep track of the time.

Yes!

But why am I happy about that?

Supplementary lessons?

Um, yeah...

My grades are hopeless, right?

If they continue to be like this, I won't be able to get into any college.

I want to make use of the 2 hours after school.

But who writes by hand in this day and age?

My teacher doesn't know how to use a computer.

H-How...?

are the results of my masterpiece doing?

What are you trying to say, huh?

Are you trying to go out with that youngster for tea, again?!

N-No way!

Going out to tea while on my home is...

delinquent behavior! It's delinquent behavior!

Yasuko! You're splendid!

Fine, I got it.

I'll delay your curfew... BUT!

only by 2 hours for your supplementary lessons.

Thanks!

Dad, Mom...

I'm sorry.

I lied.

You'll forgive me, right?

I'm not doing it for myself, but for Tsubaki.

Part-time, part-time, part-time job.

Even the boss is highly skeptical.

Idiot!

He's only thinking of Yasuko!

Yes! That's right!

Please.

If a fat and wrinkle headed guy comes here,

please tell him that I'm taking supplementary lessons.

Eh? But Oki...

- You taking supplementary lessons? - If you don't...

my scary older brother will come back again.

[No Use To Argue With]

O-Okay, I got it! Leave it to me.

- What are you guys doing here? - Oh, we're sorry.

I can't let them find out.

I'm on my way to Mentor Sakuraba Reika's place right now.

Yes, of course. See ya.

Since this house is so dreary, that's why there's flowers here like this.

Thank you very much.

Huh? Yasuko?

- What is this for? - Geez, don't act like a stranger.

At least discuss it with me.

What?

Well, me and you are not only co-workers, you know.

And no one else besides me helped you debut as

- Sakuraba Reika to the world. - What?

I don't understand what you're talking about.

Yasuko is working in order to pay for living expenses, right?

Yasuko...

is working?

That brat...

Where is she working?

Well, it's that florist nearby.

I think it's "Tsubaki Flower."

Damn that brat!

Thank you very much.

Looks like you're adapting well.

Am I?

Yeah. You're taking good care of the customers.

Wait for it, Tsubaki.

I'm going to get you that book as a present.

YA

SU

KO!

Why?

What the heck are you doing?!

You mean what?

I'm a florist.

I clearly see that.

Bro, please calm down.

You bastard, you have no right to call me "bro"!

Why are you saying that to Tsubaki?!

Shut up!

You didn't say a word to me about this!

So, this is how it is.

So, the supplementary lessons and everything were all lies?

That's right.

Was it wrong of me?

Of course, it's wrong, bastard!

Lemme go stop him.

Erika! You shouldn't provoke him.

Um...

I asked Yasuko to help out.

Get outta my face, bitch.

B-Bitch?

I told you that I asked her!

It doesn't matter who asked her to!

As I figured...

Isn't it okay to at least let her work part-time?

Sometimes being flexible is effective, you stupid ass older brother!

Butt out, you outsider!

Let's go, Yasuko!

No, let me go.

That's a pencil?

Oops, I'm sorry. My bad.

This is just fine.

Is the lead in this, HB?

I'm done eating.

Don't be irresponsible!

Why are you working?

I've told you many times! There's things that I want!

So, what is it? I'll buy it for you!

There's no point if you bought it for me.

Stopping me is pointless.

I'll continue to work!

Yasuko!

Please!

We didn't eat yet!

Thank God.

- How about gold? - Really?

Silver's good.

Hey, Yasuko. What do you think about this?

Hm?

It's an original birthday cake for Jun.

The baker in front of the train station is going to make it for us.

Is that weird?

No.

I think it's great.

Since I'm done cleaning, can I go look for Tsubaki's present now?

See you then.

Good luck.

Thanks.

So, this is cheesy, after all.

Her reaction wasn't good.

But I thought my idea was great.

Don't interfere.

Kenji!

Erika! Calm down.

Be gentle.

What the heck are you staring at, damn bitch?

D-Damn... bitch...

Erika, just remember...

I know.

What do you want?

If you're just window-shopping, just leave.

I'm a customer.

You better buy at least a bouquet of flowers then.

Hey.

Make a bouquet for me.

Here.

For you.

A woman's heart...

is very complicated.

Damn bitch.

Do you know why Yasuko's working?

Did you hear me? I asked if you knew what she wanted to buy.

Yasuko...

wants to buy a birthday present for Jun.

Birthday?

- What day is it? - July 26th.

Damn...

That day...

is Yasuko's birthday.

Yasuko, didn't tell us, did she?

She said it was the anniversary of your parents death.

Oh, Bro, you came.

Youngster.

Why did you have to be born on that day?

Huh?

Bad timing, you bastard.

Welcome!

Huh?

You're the one from before.

Good afternoon.

Did you come to eat some curry again?

Oh, no. Today I came to ask you about something.

Maeda Shinzo's... The Height of the Four Seasons...

You know about Yasuko losing her parents, right?

It was 10 years ago.

Yeah.

It's always like that when you're young, right?

Didn't you want to eat a huge birthday cake on your birthday?

- Everyone did. - Well, yeah.

Yasuko was the same way.

You promise? I want lots of strawberries.

The one sold at the Marufuku department store, right?

She told her dad that she wanted a cake.

But unfortunately...

on their way to the department store, they got into an accident.

So...

Does that mean that Oki blames herself for it?

Is it this?

Yes, it is!

It's this!

I'll definitely come by next week. Can you put it on hold for me?

Sure.

Thank you!

Even though such a horrible thing like that happened...

Yasuko is always acting cheerful in front of us.

That's how she is.

That kid.

Whenever I see those two...

once a year on her birthday,

it's the most depressing day out of the year for them.

Congratulations, Yasuko!

Alright! Since the grave visit is over with, it's time for your birthday party.

Wow, doesn't it look cool!

Since you're turning 9, that's 9 candles.

Alright...

Having lost their parents,

next year would still be her birthday.

Since then, at the Oki household...

they've also lost the tradition of preparing a birthday cake as well.

That's why Yasuko reacted that way that one time.

It's a birthday cake for Jun.

I did something really cruel...

You didn't know, right?

It can't be helped.

This is the last one.

Erika!

I found Tsubaki's present!

Isn't that great! Right?

Yes!

It'll be nice to see Tsubaki happy.

What's wrong?

I...

overheard about your birthday.

What?

I also heard about the birthday cake, too.

I'm sorry.

Don't do that. Please don't apologize.

- But... - It was a long time ago.

I'd rather not think about those nagging thoughts.

I'm just like you, I know when to draw the line.

Yasuko...

Well, if you'll excuse me.

I look forward to working with you again tomorrow.

See ya.

I see...

So, Oki said that?

Yeah.

So, this year from the bottom of my heart, I want to see Yasuko smile.

And I think I'd like to make it the best birthday for her.

- Yeah, let's do it. - Yeah, let's.

Let's make it a happy birthday that she'll never forget!

I wonder what we should do.

What's going to make her the most happy?

Make her the most...

Happy Birthday!

I actually wanted to give it to you tomorrow, but

I have to visit my parents grave with that guy.

So, I thought I'd give it to you now.

Hm, is that how I should do it?

Oki.

Tsubaki...

I'm sorry for calling you out like this.

No, it's okay. I also had some plans of my own.

If it's alright with you, take this.

My sister told me to go with you tomorrow.

Erika told you?

You don't wanna?

No, I do.

Great. What did you want to tell me?

Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it.

Okay.

See ya.

Erika...

Um...

What?

I was invited to an amusement park for tomorrow.

By who?

Eh?

By a friend...

I thought it would be okay to go...

Uh... never mind.

We're visiting the grave tomorrow, right?

Sorry. I'll cancel.

You can go.

Eh?

Are you sure?

I'll go visit the grave, however your curfew is 6 PM.

Thanks.

Bastards, what are you looking at?

Sorry, sir!

Pops, Mom...

It's alright, right?

An amusement park.

It's been awhile.

What are you guys doing tomorrow?

Will you go to the grave as usual and eat at home?

No.

It'll only be me this year.

That Yasuko is going to an amusement park with her friend.

- Amusement park? - Yeah.

You actually allowed that?

I just want her to enjoy it.

I see.

Isn't that great?

Doing this will allow her to have some breathing room.

You shouldn't be blaming yourself all the time either.

I'm the one at fault.

It's because of me being in that gang world.

It's my fault, isn't it?

Dad and mom died because...

of me.

It's because I was selfish.

It's absolutely not your fault.

It's not your fault, Yasuko.

I'm sorry that I didn't go with you.

Thanks for understanding my selfishness.

That dummy...

Ah! Shoot!

She just passed by.

Okay.

Excuse me.

My contact fell out, can you help me find it?

Eh?

Please!

I just bought them too.

Okay, I understand.

Um... Do you know around what area you...

What was with that person earlier...

Ouch.

I don't have the present!

Don't tell me it's over there?

What should I do...

Oh my! Dear Tsubaki, you're here at this amusement park, too?

What a coincidence!

Oh, yeah! I don't want to trouble you, but do you want to hang out with us?

No, I'm sorry but I can't hang out with you because I'm waiting for someone.

Currently, the phone you're calling can't be reached.

She can't be reached.

I...

can't find it.

Why did this have to happen?

That day...

It rained on that day 10 years ago, too.

Dad and mom is late...

It's raining.

Yasuko!

Yasuko!

Weren't they on their way to buy Yasuko's birthday cake?

This is just too much.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Dad.

Mom.

Yasuko!

Brother?

Why are you here?

What are you doing?

I lost...

a present.

I'm...

being punished.

Dad

and mom

are subjecting me to this.

Here I thought, I could have fun.

I can never have a happy birthday, after all.

Brother...

Don't ever say things like that!

That day 10 years ago...

Do you know what Pops and mom wished for?

Yasuko.

For your smile!

They wanted to see your big smile and you being happy.

That's...

what Pops and mom wanted to see last before leaving this world.

So, that's why...

you have to be happy on your birthday!

TOKIO - Amagasa - Umbrella

Huh? Oki's still looking.

How pathetic.

Are you okay with that, Shingyoji?

It's fine. I don't care.

Yasuko!

Is this it?!

Here.

Yeah.

It's this!

It's this.

Hurry up and go.

Okay.

Yasuko.

Don't catch a cold.

I'll delay your curfew by 2 hours.

Thanks.

Brother.

Tsubaki!

Oki.

I'm sorry I'm late.

You waited for me.

Oki, are you okay?

Yes!

Happy birthday.

It's a little dirty though.

Wow, I'm so happy!

I've wanted this for awhile now.

Thanks, Oki.

I'm sorry.

All I did was wait for you.

It's okay.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Can I open it?

Good.

Did you have fun?

Yes.

Good.

Youngster! What did you come here for?!

I invited him over. Please, just for today!

Just for today.

Youngster.

Don't you dare lay one finger on Yasuko!

Yes, sir.

Hey!

Big party?

Why are you here?

Damn bitch, why are you here?!

Well, I, uh...

Now, now. It's alright. We made this together for you.

I'm coming in.

Okay.

Since I own a curry house, I'm able to handle meals.

But this is the first time that I made something like this.

Happy Birthday!! Yasuko

I asked him to make this.

I told him it was impossible, but he rushed to make it.

Yasuko.

You...

Brother...

Let's eat it together.

There's no way I could eat this by myself.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy Birthday Dear Yasuko.

Happy birthday to you.

Congratulations!

So, let's eat!

Thanks for this.

How is it?

Um... it sorta tastes like curry.

Is this your doing, Erika of the Black Roses?!

It wasn't me! Hey!

There's nothing I can do. I own a curry house, you know.

Shibuya, no matter how much...

- Huh? - It's delicious.

- Right? Eat, eat! - Thank you.

Dad, mom...

it's been 10 years since I ate cake and it was a little painful.

But no matter how I ate it,

it was always delicious.

Thank you for always tuning in.
