(Nankai Cafeteria)

Here you go, creamy soy sauce udon, enjoy

Great! -Here, I'll give you the biggest plate

Eat plenty, you can have seconds if you want

Thank you, boss -Thank you, boss

Let's eat -Let's eat

Enjoy

Is there too little cream?

No, it's fine

Welcome

Mr. Kota

Long time no see

Has it been a year already? Time flies

Yuriko-san, I'll have the Nankai Special

Thank you

(Nankai Special proceeds donated to children's meal charity)

Sorry, no new information this year either

It's okay, same here

My sister has been missing for 30 years

I don't know if she's still alive

Yuka-san is definitely still alive

Here, your usual

Thanks

The wind is really strong

I'll bring the sign inside

Be careful -Okay

Kota-san, watch the kids for me -Okay

Where are the children?

They're fine

Suspected unlicensed driver

There are more and more of these irresponsible drivers

(Car crashes into cafe, no injuries) How do you feel right now?

How I feel now? -Yes

This shop was passed down to me by my father

It's a very important place for us and everyone

That's terrible

(Graduation Album "Friendship")

(Arai Yuka)

Back then

She was my home

On that day when I was 15

I couldn't protect the one I loved

Kokoya

Our ace, when can you come back to practice?

I can't until autumn, after surgery I still need rehab

Then we won't make the regional preliminaries

You guys can win without me

Hurry up and come back

Yeah

(Children's Meal)

(Kazama Cafeteria is so delicious)

(Wishes: Steak, yakiniku, roast beef)

Sorry for the wait

Thank you, boss

This one is the best

Really? Eat plenty -Yeah

(Kazama Cafeteria)

(Today's Special 750 yen)

(Children's Love Meal All Free)

You're back

Kokoro, you're back

Going to eat now?

Later

I've already made it

Wait a moment

Want more?

Yeah -Here

Take it

They still want seconds, right?

Thanks -Yeah

There's plenty, eat more

Is it okay?

Thank you, boss

You can eat ten more plates if you want

Listen up

Since no one volunteered, we're switching to nominations

Do we have to participate?

I'll be late for club activities

Alright, everyone quiet down

If you don't nominate someone, we'll just keep going

I want to speak

What is it, Enami?

I want to nominate Arai

Because she's the only one not in a club

That's right, people with clubs are really troubled

As "friends" we should help each other, right?

Yuka... -Yuka...

Alright, everyone quiet down for a moment

Arai

What do you think?

Are you willing?

Well then, alright

Is that okay? Then it's yours

Now for the boys

Which boy doesn't have a club?

What does the yearbook committee do?

Kokoya, aren't you going back to the soccer club?

My left knee ligament tear hasn't healed

I have to wait until autumn for surgery

I see

What about you, Yuka? Weren't you in the tennis club before?

Yeah

I gave up in middle school

So I have plenty of time

Yeah, me too

When I go home, I just get called to help out anyway

So let's first decide what news to cover

Then list the items we need to interview...

Wait a minute

Are we doing everything ourselves?

Because...

Even if we ask others for help

They'd probably look annoyed

Not necessarily

I...

It's been a long time since I talked with friends like this

Come to think of it, we're both "idle people"

Idle people?

Yeah

Unlike others who join clubs

Don't you feel guilty?

Kind of

Everyone's working hard, and only you're standing aside

Exactly, you're right

Hey, listen

Want to start a club together?

A club?

The Idle People Club

Only idle people can join

What the heck?

The members are just me and Kokoya

That's too few members

I became idle first, so I'm the senior

We're the same year and you want seniority?

Yeah, but you can be the president

What are the Idle People Club activities?

The two of us idle people find fun things to do together

Huh? Fun things?

I want to watch a movie

A movie? What kind?

What kind of movies do you like?

Me?

Anything but horror

So you're scared of horror movies

It doesn't matter

I used to be taller than you, right?

Yeah, before I knew it I surpassed you

But it's not much difference, right?

I'm definitely taller

Are you sure?

See you tomorrow then

Yeah, see you tomorrow, President

Yeah

The Idle People Club

The Idle People Club, huh

Hey Arai, do you think you're pitiful?

Think you're a tragic hero?

That's hilarious

Don't get too cocky

Weakling

Good morning

Class is starting

They saw us

Let's check the answers

Tsujimura

Yes

What's the answer to this question?

Nori, wake up

What's the answer?

Three-fifths

Answer properly

Don't chat with each other

Please, tell me

Was everything okay this morning?

Nothing happened, everything's fine

You don't look fine

The question is which craftsman in town should we interview?

Yuka

Ta-da

What's this?

You and me

Those are supposed to be people?

That's too mean

Then you draw

I don't want to

Don't try to escape, draw for me

But I'll draw better than you

You two over there, please be quiet

Sorry -Sorry

Yuka, you found a good spot

This place gives you a sense of belonging, right?

Yeah, that's right

Look

It feels like a secret base

Then this is our secret

Promise me

Promise...

I can't promise

Huh?

I'm going to get the encyclopedia

Promise me

Hm?

The open class, you can come next month, right?

Yeah

I'm really looking forward to it

I promise

Pinky promise

If you lie, you'll swallow a thousand needles

It's a promise

You have to keep your word

Okay

You promised me...

Kazama

Let's talk outside

Why are you gossiping about people?

What?

You said I ate at your place

I don't know anything about that

That's strange

Why are you hanging out with someone from Kazama Cafeteria?

Kazama Cafeteria? That hypocrite's son?

Your dad runs around buying vegetables that won't sell, right?

Working so hard

It's not fair, giving free food to parasites

Good citizens like us are the ones who lose out

You guys who think you're heroes are just as guilty

You want to fight? -What are you doing?

Acting so tough, Kazama Cafeteria

So wet

You act so tough in front of us

But you stay silent about people who've helped you

Let's go

Okay

Kokoya?

What's wrong?

Kokoya, your button came off

You're so good with your hands

I'm just sewing a button

It feels strange, neither my dad nor I can sew

The Idle People Club is so peaceful

Really peaceful

Done, President

Thanks, Yuka-senpai

Sorry, it's so late

Your family will worry, let's clean up and go home

Yeah

Well, see you

Yeah, see you tomorrow

Sis

Teach me how to fold a boat

Okay

Flip it over

Line this up

Oh? You're here?

You're back

Got any complaints?

No

Kota, let's do homework

Sis, I want to go eat at Kazama Cafeteria

Let's go next time

Okay

Let's eat this today

Mom will be home in the morning, okay?

Give me your hand

This piece of junk is broken!

Hey

Buy me some beer

I'm sorry

Huh?

The lady at the liquor store won't sell alcohol to kids...

You've got some nerve!

What are you looking at?

I'm sorry

Little brat

I'm sorry

Kota?

It's all because Dad and I came to this house

That's why...

At times like this

You need to take a deep breath

Let yourself go blank

Just think about happy memories

(Yearbook Notes, Idle People Club)

Great

Awesome

Draw it

Does this really not erase?

It won't erase

Nice...

Keep going

He's here

(Hypocrite's son)

What are you guys doing?

Still asking?

We're cleaning your desk for you

If you have a problem, go tell your dad

Social parasite

And the hypocrite who helps parasites will be punished too

Got it?

Right?

Run...

Hey

Where does Ishimura sit?

Over there

(Poor kid)

Teacher

What is it?

I want to borrow turpentine

What do you need turpentine for?

Please lend it to me

Why?

What are you doing?

Yuka

I saw your desk

Kokoya

I feel so happy

So happy that nothing else matters

Yeah

Nothing else matters

You're back, Koko...

What's wrong? What happened?

It's really pouring

I told Keiko-san to go home

With this rain, no customers will come anyway

Go change your clothes

I'll make you something hot

Here

Drinking beer during the day is the best

Thanks to the typhoon

Let's eat -Yeah

Listen

The children's love meal...

Should we stop doing it?

It's not making money anyway

It's not for a small shop like ours to do, right?

Did someone at school say something?

Not really

It's not about me

You're really bad at lying

What lying...

Listen, imagine this

Me stopping the children's love meal

And this place

You imagine it too

Don't you care if your ideals hurt other people?

You're just a hypocrite, doing good deeds for reputation

Your mom said...

"Our happiness"

"Isn't determined by education or income"

"Living according to your own will"

"That's what matters"

I also followed her teachings to decide how to live

Doing what I want to do

But

If you're unhappy, naturally I'll be unhappy too

So if it causes you to suffer

Then I won't do it

That's my decision according to my own will...

That I've made

(Nankai Cafe, Temporarily Closed)

Yes, the sooner the better, hopefully renovated before summer vacation

I understand

That's it then

I'm home

Welcome back

Did the bank approve it?

As expected, they didn't

(Obviously just pretending to be pitiful for sympathy)

Am I powerless again?

Just like 30 years ago

You mean Yuka-san?

I must protect the place of belonging

For the children who come here

(Takanashi Construction)

Sorry for the sudden visit

I saw the TV interview...

You're Kazama Kokoya, right?

Yes, I am

Has this shop been here for a while?

Yes, my father passed it down, about 40 years now

40 years... Was it a children's cafeteria back then?

It was quite rare then, called "Children's Love Meal"

(Kazama Cafeteria)

What brings you here today?

I want to help renovate the shop

Actually, we don't have the finances to pay for renovations

We're willing to renovate it for free

What?

But I have a condition

After the renovation, I hope you'll listen to my request

What kind of request?

Please don't ask about it yet

I'm sorry, my proposal is strange

But please trust me

Please

Listen up

From first year summer vacation, you need to start preparing for exams

The notice has reminders for summer vacation

And precautions

Everyone take it home and show your parents

During summer vacation, you must be good examples for our school...

Yuka

What will our club do during summer vacation?

Summer vacation?

Yeah, we should plan Idle People Club activities

I'll contact you

Huh?

Goodbye, Kokoya

Yeah, bye

(Beautiful Little Things)

Hey!

If you're free, come help out

I'm not free

Sorry for the wait

Thank you, boss, I'll dig in

Eat your fill

When you're free, Kokoya, the shop can manage

Just keep your summer vacation going

I'm done eating

Keiko-san

Have you seen Yuka and Kota recently?

They haven't come this week

Why?

Nothing

Kokoya

Sorry, can you run to the sweets shop?

The one in the shopping district?

Yes, the annual mid-summer gift

I want you to deliver it to this address

Use this money to pay

Okay

With the change, go see a movie

Yeah

That's great

Yeah

Did they hit you?

Sort of

I beat them up worse

Where are you going?

I was going to your place

And...

How do I say this?

I still want to apologize

I heard from Arai

She said you erased the graffiti on my desk

Yuka?

And...

You didn't gossip about me

I have my principles about this

"Never reveal who comes to eat at my place"

I won't gossip

Even if someone asks, I won't tell

Then where are you going?

I...

You've got some nerve!

Get in the car!

Who do you think you're talking to? Little brat!

I'm being so kind taking care of someone else's bastard!

Sister! -Hey

Kota

Go wait over there

Stop it, bastard!

Huh?

Who are you?

Shut up, pest!

Yuka!

Kokoya?

What are you waiting for? Take her and run, idiot

But Kota...

Leave your brother to me, you and Kazama run!

Let's go

Hey!

Let me go

Don't worry about it, just go

Should we go to my place first?

I...

I want to run away

Far, far away

Huh?

I...

I really want a sense of security

Sorry

Forget I said that

Let's go

Is there an ocean ahead?

Our family went there once during summer vacation

So that ocean has your memories

Yeah

I want to ask...

Your father...

Sorry

If you don't want to talk about it, don't

I don't really want to talk about it now

I'm sorry

If I'm in trouble, will you still come save me?

You can't promise?

Sorry

Promises and things like that...

I can't easily make them to you

Promises that can't be kept will only hurt you in the end

Can I sit here?

Yes

Oh my, your face...

It's the summer boxing tournament

Wow, boxing

What a waste of your pretty face

I'm still weak

Today you're going to grandpa's house with your cousin, right?

Huh? Ah, yeah

How old are you two?

15

I see

Same age as my niece

Excuse me

Today is...

The 49th day since she died

She died in a car accident

If she were still alive, surely many good things would have happened

Will many good things happen?

What?

If you're alive...

Will many good things happen?

Of course they will

Yuka, do you want to use the restroom first?

Not sure if there's one ahead

Yeah, okay, I'll go

I'll answer...

Hello, this is Kazama Cafeteria

Uh... it's Kokoya

Where did you go? The sweets shop called saying you didn't show up

Sorry

I'm in a really far place right now

A far place?

Sorry, a lot has happened

Tonight

I can't come home

Wait, what do you mean?

Sorry, I can't say why

Boss, is the fried rice ready?

Coming

Please don't ask me right now

I'll come home tomorrow and explain everything

Kokoya

Everyone can have their secrets, but...

"What matters is"

"Living according to your own will"

Right? That's what Mom said, right?

Yeah, that's right

I'm in this situation right now

If I go home now, I can't face Mom

So, please

Trust me right now

Right now...

You can't come home because of who you're with?

Is that it?

Is it Yuka?

It's Yuka, right?

Yeah

Sorry

From tomorrow on, I'll wash dishes seriously

Silly boy

Yeah

You...

You're mine and your mom's child

I trust you

Thanks, Dad

Kazama Kokoya!

Protect Yuka

Okay

Sorry, I'll make your meal right now

What's wrong?

My dream is to live in an apartment with a big terrace

Why would you buy that kind of place?

To live

To live a normal life

Can you smell the ocean?

Yeah

This is the ocean

The ocean is so blue

Told you

Let's go look

Huh?

Kokoya, you come too!

You'll get wet

Actually

I've been thinking about summer vacation plans in my head

Like "what to do with the President tomorrow" and stuff

Summer vacation?

"Want to go somewhere far with the President" and things like that

Like I was daydreaming

But the dream came true

Let's go -Yeah

I'm so hungry

Yuka, are you okay?

I'm used to it

But...

Thanks to Kazama Cafeteria, I'm alive

That's exaggerating

It's not exaggerating

It's true

Actually, I...

I've been discouraged for a long time

But one day I discovered

Even when discouraged, there's a way to barely keep living

When your heart is really suffering

You need to take a deep breath

Take a slow, deep breath

Then you can briefly

Suppress your emotions

At that moment, I think of something else

Replace it with other happy memories

They say the human brain can't think of two things at once

What are your happy memories?

The Idle People Club

During Idle People Club activities

I feel like I've become my old self again

I'm sorry I didn't notice your situation sooner

You have nothing to apologize for

You're not local kids, are you?

We're on a family trip

Should we go?

Yeah

I think it should be around here

When my mom was alive, we looked for four-leaf clovers together

I see

Yuka, did you make a wish?

I couldn't

It disappeared right away

And...

It's too late anyway

What's too late?

I've been hiding something from you, President

But I'm starting to feel guilty about it

I'm...

Transferring schools

Next semester, I can't...

Continue with the Idle People Club

Why so suddenly?

We're moving to the countryside

Seems like a relative will help

And the rent is cheap

I asked if we could at least wait until the end of summer

Wait until I finish the yearbook

But...

My dad got really angry

So...

That's why earlier today?

Why is this happening?

Yuka?

I missed the shooting star

At least we need to find a four-leaf clover

Kokoya, isn't this enough? You already found one

No, I need to find one for Mom before we can leave

Thank you, Kokoya

Did you hear that?

Kokoya?

When I came here before

I found a four-leaf clover right here

Really?

So there must be one

Yeah

Kokoya

Let's stop

There are no four-leaf clovers

Kokoya

That's enough

It doesn't matter anymore

Here

This is for you

This is...

Found it!

Right, Kokoya

Yeah?

Open that drawer

This one

(Kokoya)

Yes, that's yours

Thanks, Mom

You can't

This is your treasure, right?

It is!

That's why I'm giving it to you

I want you to have it

Yuka

Let's go somewhere farther

You wanted a sense of security, right?

Let's go

To a place far from this town

Far away

Yuka

I...

I like you

I...

I'll protect Yuka

Goodbye, Kokoya

Is this Arai Yuka who called for protection?

Yes

Can you come to the station to explain the details?

Okay

Yuka?

Yuka

Are you Yuka's friend? Let us explain

Yuka!

She'll be fine, the police will handle it properly

Yuka! Wait!

Yuka!

Yuka!

Yuka!

It'll be okay

Everything will be okay

You'll definitely be happy

You'll definitely live in that apartment with the big terrace

I promise you

We'll definitely see each other again, I promise

Kokoya

Thank you

Kokoya, you are my home

I...

I made a promise I couldn't keep

Your mom told me not to show you this

But I think...

You can read it now

What is this?

You're hungry, right?

I'll cook something

"April 8th"

"Today, I..."

"Made a promise I couldn't keep"

Pinky promise

If you lie, you'll swallow a thousand needles

It's a promise

You have to keep your word

Okay

Bye-bye

"I probably..."

"Won't be able to keep this promise"

"But"

"I hope Kokoya's smile will last forever"

"Because this is the only way I can"

"Wish for your happiness"

"From now on, you may cry in sadness"

"You may lose irreplaceable treasures"

"But"

"If you're willing to remember those who loved you"

"Even if you never meet again"

"Even if separated by death"

"Those feelings will never disappear"

"Your mother..."

"Always thought of you"

(Your mother always thought of you)

(My beloved Mom)

Eat while it's hot

Let's eat

Delicious

Listen

The children's love meal

Keep doing it

I'm done eating

Okay -Okay

Be careful on your way

Come back anytime

Keiko-san

Yes -I'll have a beer

Okay, just a moment

You're back -Kokoro, you're back

Kokoya, there seems to be a letter for you

"Kokoya, how are you?"

"Thanks to you taking me away that day"

"I stepped out from my own small world"

"Into a new world"

"Do you remember that apartment with the big terrace?"

"To chase that dream"

"I've left my family and am working and saving money"

"Your words 'it'll definitely be okay'"

"Gave me great courage"

"Next time we meet, let's continue the Idle People Club"

"Let's talk and talk"

"I have so much I want to share with you"

"And I want to eat your dad's soy sauce udon"

"That day I spent with you changed my life"

"Kokoya, I'm doing well now"

"Thank you for giving me courage"

Found you, little brat

Get in

I said get in!

You've got some nerve!

Give Kota back!

Where did Kota go?

Tell me, bastard!

I'll never tell you

Thank you

Thank you

Bye-bye

Thank you so much for all your help

I'm glad we could help

Can you tell me now?

What is your condition?

My mother...

Has no memories of her past

When she woke up in the hospital, she didn't know who she was

No one knew her

About who she was

What she liked

What moved her, she couldn't remember

Even so

She at least remembered her dream was to be an architect

She studied hard and founded Takanashi Construction

She's kind

Cheerful

And hardworking

She always protected me with her smile

Mom

But one time

I saw her crying

Mom, why are you crying?

On a family trip, when she saw the ocean

Suddenly she said...

I feel like I've been here before

My brain is locked

I want to remember...

But I can't remember certain things

At that moment

I first learned Mom had no memories of her past

Young as I was, I made a decision

I want to...

Search with her for the memories hidden in her heart

Do you remember this?

This is...

(Kokoya)

This is something she's always treasured

Though she doesn't remember, she felt it was important

Is Yuka doing well?

Yuka?

So that's her name

I saw Mr. Kazama's interview on TV

I thought it might be you

Mr. Kazama

Yes

My mother

Probably won't remember you

But

Would you like to see her?

Thank you for the meal

Be careful on your way

Come on, let's go

Welcome

This way please

Ready to order?

By the way, I recommend the creamy soy sauce udon

I'll have that then

Thank you

This one is the best

Really? Eat plenty

Kokoro, you're back

Going to eat now?

Later

Here you go

Eat while it's hot

Thank you, boss

Let's eat

Why...

Done, President

Thanks, Yuka-senpai

See you tomorrow then

Let's go

I'll protect Yuka

You'll definitely be happy

You'll definitely live in that apartment with the big terrace

I promise

We'll definitely see each other again

I promise

This...

Is very delicious

I'm guessing

You live in an apartment with a big terrace?

Yes

I'm so glad...

Your dream came true

Because you promised me it would definitely be okay

I've been waiting for you here
