Dad, Mom

You two both look so energetic!

Junshu, please take good care of Fumiko.

Why? This is the parents' job, isn't it?

There's a reason for that - I'm sorry.

You guys are so cruel! I'm just a child!

But you're the older brother now.

That's right.

Junshu

You must protect your younger sister no matter what.

This is how an older brother should be.

So, who will protect me?

You're a boy.

Mom, those are no longer the days.

There's no such thing as a difference between men and women, gender...

Okay, then I'll leave it to you.

Hello!

Dad, Mom - Dad, Mom!

Wait, Mom! - Mom!

Dad, don't go.

elder brother

What...what are you going to do?

Please hand Miss Wenzi over to me.

No, the document is very important, I can't give it to you.

Please be lenient.

Please

Let's go, Wenzi.

elder brother

Please forgive me.

It's still quite cold when the wind blows.

Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha

elder brother

I made curry today.

If it's convenient for you, take it to Ms. Komako...

Okay, let's hurry up, we're going to be late.

Okay, I'm off then.

elder brother

elder brother

I forgot my keys, could you please get them for me?

here we go again

Thank you

Look ahead.

Ahead, ahead

(Yamada Manufacturing Plant)

Good morning - Hello

Good morning

Good morning - Good morning

Ah Jun, is it convenient to bother you for a moment? Is that alright?

Sorry, can this be done before tomorrow?

Okay, no problem.

Great, then I'll leave it to you. - Okay

Okay, sure, how is it? Not bad, right?

The feeling is completely different

Yeah, they're not quite the same, are they?

Holding your breath can make you more stable

Yes - Replace Sasaki

I think the eldest brother character is really at a disadvantage.

Will it? I'm an only child, and my mother is the only one at home.

I've always wanted to have siblings.

No, being a brother is hard work.

Our family only has one brother and one sister, which makes things even worse.

My father died in a multi-vehicle collision when we were young.

My mother worked four jobs to support my siblings and me.

Didn't you say three portions before? - Yes, that's what I meant.

Don't talk nonsense, that's...

It's to show that she works herself to the bone.

Then, when I was in high school, she really died.

So, the brother and sister were left to depend on each other for survival.

Then who will take care of Wenzi?

It will be you, Junshu - that's right.

So you dropped out of high school and started working here.

Yes

Good morning, President - Thank you for your hard work.

The reason he didn't go to high school was because he said...

"I hate studying, I'm not going to study anymore," tell the truth!

What are you saying, President? I am...

I understand, I understand everything.

Because you and your dad made a promise to take care of Xiaowen.

That's why I came to work here in order to try to keep my promise.

I've heard it so many times, I'm sick of it.

Are they long? - Yes, they can be used to make takoyaki.

You guys are really cooperating.

Ah Jun, so you're taking on the father's role as the older brother?

It must be very difficult to accept her marriage partner, right?

What nonsense are you spouting!

I looked at them, both of them sitting side by side, their faces filled with tension.

He simply smiled gently and said one sentence.

「可以哦」

My name is Taro Nakazawa

Brother, please entrust Miss Wenzi to me.

Handing it over to you?

Fumiko isn't an object; you're living in the Showa era!

I was born in the Heisei era.

Please

no

I knew you'd say that.

The eldest brother character is really at a disadvantage.

You won't be doing this for much longer, so be prepared to suffer some losses.

Give me your change

Thank you for your hospitality. Thank you for coming.

Welcome back again - we'll be back tomorrow!

Thanks

Feeling good today!

Drink slowly, or Xiaowen will scold you.

Nobody will be nagging over there today.

She said she was going on one last solo trip with her friends.

Yes, the wedding is at the end of this month.

What should I wear to this event?

It's really something to look forward to.

Little Colt, don't be so anxious.

What kind of talk is that!

My classmate's younger sister is no different from my own sister.

Besides, Xiaowen has been a regular visitor to our area since he was a child.

That's true, Ah Jun.

Moreover, his marriage partner was a university professor.

A bunch of friends will be there.

What if our Komako…

Spotted at the scene

You could even be a professor's wife - I really can't do anything with you.

That is to say

Right?

You're talking nonsense - this can't be done casually.

Whatever you want?

The meat needs to be cooked for a while longer.

Chrysanthemum greens should be edible now - they should be fine.

Okay, everyone, let's eat!

Dad, Sister Fangzhi, Brother Hongyi

I'm getting married

congratulations

My dream has finally come true.

Very good

Dad, that's wonderful!

congratulations

Kiyomi

Memories of Flower Bento Boxes

(Doshisha University)

This is where I work.

Mr. Taro's research room is there

On the second floor

Mr. Taro studies crows.

He can talk and communicate with crows, right?

We haven't reached the point where we can communicate.

At most, it's just everyday conversation.

Can you have a daily conversation with a crow?

What's wrong?

Mr. Taro, show us a little something.

Show your skills

Look

Right?

Isn't that amazing?

What did it say?

It says raising children in the city is very hard.

Is it true or not?

So crows are pretty much like people!

Maybe so.

It seems really difficult.

What use is this?

elder brother

Academic research is not something that can be measured by gains and losses.

Mr. Taro, right?

right

But I hope it will come in handy someday.

Um…

People should have higher aspirations!

After the flowers are presented, there will be a speech.

Hey bro, are you listening?

I have it.

The first person to give a speech will be President Yamada.

Next up is the headmaster of the academy on Mr. Taro's side.

Next it will be you, and last it will be Mr. Taro's...

I'll skip it; there are plenty of people who need to give speeches anyway.

What kind of talk is that! Stop spouting nonsense.

I'm not used to speaking in front of people

Why? You're the Kato family's representative!

The venue is the Grand Hotel Minami-Osaka.

Nangarden

No, it's the Grand Minami-Osaka Hotel.

Please don't get it wrong - Okay, I'm so long-winded.

Your brother probably hasn't accepted me yet, right?

He just wanted to act like an older brother.

Hopefully so.

It's okay.

Ah Jun and you look quite alike.

Both of them are very devoted

Right, Xiaowen?

I don't know.

Hey? Isn't that what attracted you?

And he will bring you to this store.

That means he has already accepted you.

OK…

Because this shop was Xiaowen's father's favorite shop during his lifetime.

Right?

("Miyoshi" is a favorite of the shochu shop.)

Listen, Junshu

You'll be the older brother soon.

Am I going to be the older brother?

That's right, brother

My brother's job

It means protecting your younger sister no matter what.

Why?

"Why?" Because that's how my brother wants it to be.

That child's only living brother is you.

So you need to become an excellent older brother.

Jun-shu, we made a promise!

Make a pinky promise, and the liar will have to swallow a thousand needles.

husband

Call a car

I feel like the baby is about to come out.

Oh my goodness

Okay, keep the change.

Open the door, open the door quickly, Junshu, get out of the car.

Which way? Where am I? - This way…

Go straight? Come on, follow me!

Jun-ki was born.

Your sister was born.

So beautiful!

There are such adorable children!

He looks like a little fairy!

I will take good care of you

Next will be kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school.

And then this child will go to university!

Then you will become an outstanding office worker.

Then it will make those men unable to look away.

Become a heartthrob

You will be a great beauty like Princess Kaguya.

Then one day, a good man will appear…

They came and demanded my permission for you to get married.

I really can't do anything with you

This girl definitely picked the right man.

As the father, I would silently nod.

Then you will wear a pure white wedding dress at the wedding.

You're thinking too far ahead.

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

Jun-ki too, long live, long live…

Wenzi is getting married.

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

Wenzi, congratulations!

What's wrong with your brother?

He must be happy for me right now, just like my dad.

With your dad?

Wenzi, congratulations!

Long live!

Mr. Taro, let me tell you

I want to tell you something.

Taro-nii, Taro-nii

是太郎「先生」

You're so noisy - Stop talking nonsense

I'll have to trouble you to take care of Wenzi.

yes!

Hey, another one of the same.

Come and eat!

What should we do with the gift?

My brother gave me this as a wedding gift.

Let's skip that kind of thing.

You're here again. This won't do.

Right, Mr. Taro?

Huh? Well…

Mr. Taro, what do you want?

It's up to you to choose.

Is there anything missing from your new home?

Nothing in particular is missing

For example, home appliances, etc.

Regarding what just happened…

How about getting a better electric cooker?

It's not that thing.

During this period of time...

I feel very sorry.

But

I feel our bond has deepened.

(A message dedicated to newlyweds)

(A new journey for the two...)

(Xiaowen's wedding ceremony)

I believe they will support each other.

But they are all still young... they are all still young...

What do you think? - Great!

Is it great?

Walk with consistent strides

The escort will act as if leading the bride.

Position half a step ahead of the bride

(Xiaowen's wedding ceremony)

My father is Mr. Ah Ren

The older sister is Ms. Fang Zhi, and the older brother is…

Oh no, I can't remember.

(Hwangta Photo Studio)

(Marutani General Store)

Huh? Is this the way? (Marutani Daily Necessities Store)

Sorry - Yes

I'm looking for a family named Hanada in this neighborhood.

Oh! The Shigeta family—yes.

You need to turn right here - Yes

After turning right, continue straight until you reach the end.

Then turn left uphill.

There's a rooster-shaped weather vane in the yard.

I understand, thank you. - No.

Be careful on the road - Okay

(Mr. Miyoshi, President Yamada)

Thank you for your hospitality. Thank you for coming.

Thank you, madam. Goodbye. - Be careful.

goodbye

Alright everyone, here we come!

He sang this song again.

Will Xiaowen spend the night at their new home?

Yes, they said they needed to handle things like wedding preparations.

So you only contacted me because you were lonely?

You're silly, no.

But without Xiaowen, you'll feel very lonely every day.

It's nice that the house feels more spacious now.

Didn't you dream that Xiaowen was taken away by someone?

Yeah, and it was her as a child, isn't that funny?

That's your wish that she wouldn't leave being projected.

ha?

A wise teacher once said that dreams are a person's true thoughts.

That's impossible! You're talking nonsense.

Okay, do you want me to marry you?

What? Too close?

Their faces are too close! I don't want to!

She's so beautiful, it would be a waste for her to marry me, right?

That's true - that's exactly what I mean.

But then again, after your mother passed away

You two really try your best to live a good life.

Come on, please use

I'm the one who's really putting in the effort.

Nonsense! Xiaowen also relied on student loans to go to university.

Fool, how could this possibly solve the problem?

A lot of the money was paid for by my work.

She said she wanted to work, but you kept telling her to go to university.

Thanks to her going to university, my youth...

He's been working non-stop, covered in sweat and grease.

Oh, what an amazing older brother!

All you can do is talk the talk; you have no idea how hard it is to be a brother.

Xiaowen will dislike you for saying such petty things.

是「屁眼」啦，她说「屁眼」哦！

These are not words that upper-class ladies should use.

Go ahead and make fun of me.

When Xiaowen is gone, and you feel lonely

I won't go with you.

I don't need it.

Really? You can't just go into their marital home without permission.

I'm not going.

oh!

The young couple at this moment...

They should be enjoying their hot pot together, taking small, sweet bites.

Who knows?

Small sips...

Small sips...

He was sipping water little by little.

It's so hot!

See you later - Okay, bye-bye

Don't go to their love nest!

You're crazy!

I'm unlikely to go.

cheers!

cheers

How could she make her fiancé eat instant noodles and wait for her at home?

There's nothing I can do.

Before going on the honeymoon, I need to finish my work in one go.

I'm so sorry I didn't think of her first.

Don't say that

Oh, right, I'm going to buy some ice.

Oh...right.

It's okay, I'll go buy it.

No, I'll go.

Don't do that, I'll go - it's okay

Oh, I can do it!

Why are you doing this? - Bro, I...

I can't let you run errands for me.

Really?

I'm sorry for making you do this before we got married.

No, I'm your future brother-in-law, it's only right.

Thank you for your help.

This situation is quite tricky.

Awesome - Yeah

Look at this picture, it's so beautiful and cute!

That was taken during a summer festival.

Was this taken at your high school graduation ceremony? - Yes, yes

Your brother was blond back then - Yeah, it was awful.

Miss Fumiko, this…

What is this instrument again? - Yes

This, this

Oh, it's a saxophone - so it's a saxophone.

上面写的是「新人奖」 - 「新人奖」啊

Uh... what should I do?

In short...

what to do?

What is she up to?

(You'll come to Mr. Taro's place?)

(I'm just showing up; when are you coming back?)

(Woman stabbed to death on her way home)

(Was the perpetrator a random killer?)

(Tour bus tour guide stabbed to death)

(Ms. Kiyomi Shigeta)

I'm back

Thank you

Ah, bro, Xiaowen just contacted me.

She said she would be preparing for the university's open day and would be coming home late.

Yes

Also, if she misses the last bus

They might stay overnight in the university's dormitory.

I see

Mr. Taro, um…

Is something wrong with Wenzi's situation?

No, nothing's wrong.

Yes

Sorry, I think I'll go back.

(Treasure Jar)

Ah, good morning, this is Junshu.

Good morning, what's wrong?

Sorry to call you so early on a holiday morning.

I would like to ask if I can use the factory vehicle for a while.

Sure, nobody uses it anyway.

Really?

Sorry, I will return it this afternoon.

Okay - thank you so much for your help.

I'm hanging up now. Drive carefully!

Okay, thank you very much.

What are you doing? That's dangerous!

I'm sorry, it's because I happened to see you.

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Um... Wenzi contacted me saying she was spending the night at school.

She's lying to you - huh?

I just contacted the school.

She left the university yesterday evening.

Huh? What do you mean by that?

I don't have concrete evidence either; it's quite difficult to explain.

Please tell me.

I'm going to Yangen now.

Hikone? Why?

Because I remembered something.

Could it be related to Ms. Fumiko?

Yes, that's right.

I want to go too.

No need, it's none of your business.

This is none of my business; we'll be family someday.

You're being too loud.

sorry

What you said makes sense.

Tell me, I want to go too, please.

The sound is too loud!

sorry

Please

I asked you - is it?

No matter what happens, you will still love her?

Yes

Let's go hiking!

Mr. Taro - I am

Do you believe someone's memory?

Could it enter another person's brain?

Um... but, uh...

Most people would respond with "Um...uh".

But I had read it in a book before.

For example, young children suddenly start speaking foreign languages.

And he said that he used to...

Another person living in another country

It also described in detail the towns and houses of that country.

Upon investigation, the situation was found to be consistent.

The people depicted by children also existed.

Yes, I've seen similar incidents on TV too.

But that's just a story from TV or a book at most.

That's true.

However, it happened right here among us.

After my father died, we moved to a small house.

That was the spring break when I was going into fifth grade.

What happened before Wenzi started elementary school

Fumiko

Wenzi, are you alright?

Oh no, Mom, Mom!

After diagnosis, the doctor said it was just a common cold.

But Wenzi's demeanor has changed.

She no longer eats the snacks she used to love.

I don't play with dolls anymore.

He suddenly became very mature.

Don't look

Although my mom said that every time a child gets a fever...

You will become smarter

But she must be worried too.

As the older brother, you should read Wenzi carefully.

good

Did you know? - Yes, I know.

Wenzi, you must stay by your brother's side.

good

We went out.

Okay, be careful on the road, stay close - let's go!

Brother, wait for me!

Good morning

Watch me, no, fly fast!

Not flying

no

Missed completely

It hit! It flew up.

It flew away.

The balloon flew away

Fly High

I'm back

I'm back

Where is Wenzi?

Didn't she come back first?

Fool! Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?

I'm sorry, thank you.

Oh no, I can't find her anywhere.

Mom is going to the police station. You stay home and watch the house.

Who is this person?

(Hikone)

(Shigenobu Hitoshi, Shigenobu Hana, Shigenobu Fusa)

(Koichi Haneda, Kiyomi Haneda)

(Eastern Osaka, Kyohei Kato, Yuko Kato)

(Toshiki Kato, Fumiko Kato)

Hello, this is the Kato family.

I am a station staff member at JR Kyoto Station.

Currently, they have taken in a girl named Fumiko Kato.

It seems like she took a free ride out to play.

She said that during her transfer...

I can't tell which bus is for the return trip.

But she built a looping, circular line.

But he ran to Kyoto

He's only in first grade!

Did you just happen to switch to the tram that goes there?

No, that wasn't a coincidence.

She was consciously planning to go to Kyoto.

Wenzi, I have a question for you.

Who is Kiyomi Shigeta?

Brother, how do you know this name?

Did you look at my notebook?

Yes, many different names were written on it.

So, it's the name of someone you like?

That's not true.

So who exactly is it?

With your attitude, I can't even bring myself to say anything.

Feel sorry

I feel like I used to be like Kiyomi Shigeta.

Huh? What are you talking about?

I used to be Kiyomi Shigeta.

You were a baby before, weren't you?

You certainly can't understand this.

I don't understand it myself.

However, I've had the same dream repeatedly since I was a child.

I was in the courtyard of a big house.

Playing with unfamiliar uncles, aunts, and children.

This is the father, and this is the mother.

Then there were the older sister and older brother.

I am the younger sister

These seem to be my family.

You must have seen it on TV...

I've thought about that too.

However, I've dreamed about it several times.

Although the location and time are different

But the people who appeared were the same.

Hongyi, you work very hard, but what about your athletic ability?

I want to become a PhD in animal research.

Leave the exercise to my older sister.

Fangzhi runs very fast in a race.

They also won first place at the sports meet.

So, will Fang Zhi become an athlete?

I want to be an ally of justice and fight against bad guys.

Like Ultraman?

No, wait, transform! It's Kamen Rider!

Hey, you guys should ask me too!

Okay, so what does Kiyomi want to be when she grows up?

Ladies and gentlemen, on your right...

Horyuji Temple is designated as a National Treasure.

That's really impressive!

I see, Kiyomi is a tour guide on the sightseeing bus.

And then...

I grew up

He became a real tour bus guide

Ladies and gentlemen, on your right...

Horyuji Temple is designated as a National Treasure.

It is said to be the oldest existing wooden building in the world.

The reason I got lost a while ago

It's because we're going to a place called Hikogen.

The Shigeta family's home was there.

Where are you going?

Ms. Kiyomi in the tour bus

He was stabbed to death while protecting passengers.

(Random murder occurs inside a tour bus)

(Tour bus tour guide stabbed to death in broad daylight)

(Ms. Kiyomi Shigeta)

Even if it really is reincarnation

She is now also my sister, Wenzi.

She is Kyohei Kato and Yuko Kato's only daughter

Fumiko Kato

It has absolutely nothing to do with Kiyomi Shigeta, right?

Yes, that's for sure.

So I told Wenzi not to tell Mom about this.

The mouth of Fumiko

She worked four or five jobs to support us.

Don't let her worry too much.

That's true.

Honestly, I also want to forget about this.

I really can't accept that Wenzi was once an outsider.

elder brother

elder brother

What's wrong?

Can you take me to Yangen?

Huh? Hikone?

Yes, Hikone

Super far away!

Just take me there once.

Why the sudden decision to go?

I don't know why.

But I felt I had to go right away.

What about the train ticket money?

I can't just ask my mom for it, can I?

I saved my New Year's money and pocket money.

Brother, this is my lifelong wish.

Since you've put it so firmly, I'll take you there once.

But you can only look from outside the Shigeta family's house.

It's agreed.

Thank you

Sorry, I can't go to the zoo with you.

It's okay, because you need to make money, there's no other way.

是大阪城

Wenzi, when you were still a baby

I once climbed to the very top of Osaka Castle with my dad!

I'm telling you, Daddy was so happy when you were born.

They were even shouting "Long live! Long live!" outside the hospital.

Wenzi-ge

(Welcome to Hikone)

I know this town

Ah! That's the shop.

I used to frequent this store when I was in junior high school.

Back in junior high?

The brown sugar red bean paste over there is delicious.

So what do we need to do now?

I need to go to that house.

Do you know how to get there?

I know, I can get there on foot.

There is a rooster-shaped weather vane in the house.

Listen, Wenzi, we made a promise, don't forget!

I know

I know.

(Hwangta Photo Studio)

I used to play tag and hide-and-seek here.

That was my elementary school classmate, Aqi.

It's elementary school again this time?

What's wrong?

Look over there

What happened to that uncle?

That person is my dad - huh?

Hello, Mr. Shigeta.

Are you going to sweep the tombs?

right

That's definitely right, that person is my dad.

But that person looks like a skull.

The uncle in your dream must be very strong, right?

But it's definitely that person.

Wait for me, stay here, don't wander off!

Aunt

Yes, welcome.

That uncle was very thin.

It looks just like a skull.

I've never seen you before.

I...I'm just visiting my relatives.

Oh, I see.

No wonder you didn't know.

That uncle was actually very pitiful.

Why?

It must have been 7 years.

That man has a daughter who is the same age as me.

The girl had very fair skin and was very pretty.

But he passed away due to an unfortunate accident.

That uncle, when his daughter had the accident...

Just during lunch break

I was eating tempura udon at the time

That uncle could not forgive himself for his actions.

Why?

His own daughter suffered pain and died.

He was still leisurely eating tempura udon noodles.

This incident made him hate himself.

And that's why that uncle...

I haven't eaten anything since then.

Huh?

He still drinks milk and other things to supplement his nutrition.

To prevent oneself from dying

His family seems to be trying to get him to eat something.

But he still resolutely refused to eat.

But you said that kind of uncle is no different from a skull.

He won't eat anything.

But what he did didn't change anything.

I was completely unaware of my father's death; I was peacefully sleeping.

I still regret it now.

How pitiful

Come on, let's eat our bento boxes.

Mom specially made bento boxes for us!

After eating, we'll go see Lake Biwa and then go home.

elder brother

Should I really not have gone to meet that uncle?

Yes, it shouldn't be.

It shouldn't be like this no matter what?

I absolutely disagree with that; I'll stop you even if it means taking a taxi.

So, can I ask you for a small favor?

This is my lifelong wish.

How many times is this?

Dad, you need to eat properly.

Otherwise, Kiyomi would definitely be worried over there.

Sister, next week is the anniversary of Mom's death.

I will bring her favorite cantaloupe.

good

That's settled then, you guys can go now. - Let's go!

good

What are you going to do?

That... is actually...

A young woman over there asked me to bring this over.

要交给屋里叫「阿仁」的人

Ah Ren is that uncle over there.

Let me see.

So light!

What's inside?

I have no idea

What kind of person was that woman?

Little one, this lady is a police officer!

If you are playing a prank, she will arrest you immediately.

It's true.

Don't scare the children!

Oh dear, it's a lunchbox.

Little one, you were really playing a prank, weren't you?

No, I didn't.

Wait...wait a minute

this…

This is "Flower Rice".

"Flower Rice"? Huh?

Kiyomi often did this when she was little

White azaleas are rice

Red azaleas used as dried plums

That child always does it like this.

It's definitely right.

Rapeseed flowers are used in tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet).

Pine cones are fried chicken nuggets

The leaves are used in a cold spinach salad.

Use tree branches as chopsticks

Awoo awoo

It's delicious, Kiyomi!

Awoo awoo

So delicious

Awoo awoo

Awoo awoo awoo…

See?

Kiyomi is definitely worried over there.

She hopes you can eat something properly.

dad

Kid, please, whoever brought this lunchbox...

Wait, little one

Wait a minute, don't go.

Can I ask a question?

What's the question?

What does "Fanfan" in "Hua Fanfan" refer to?

Huh? You don't know what it is but you keep listening?

I am truly ashamed.

Let me think about it...

What does it mean when a child says "I've eaten all my food"?

Oh, so it refers to "food and dishes".

You figured it out, didn't you?

Therefore, "flower rice" is rice cooked with flowers.

也就是「花便当」

Wenzi, let's go, Wenzi, hurry up!

Wait, wait, wait a minute

Let me go

I was wrong just now, please calm down.

We have something to say, can we listen to it?

Okay, thank you.

Regarding the bento box you brought...

We have some questions to ask.

Please bring this woman.

Could it be this person?

Really? Take a closer look.

Kiyomi?

Are you Kiyomi?

That's definitely right, Kiyo…

Don't touch her.

That girl's name isn't that; her name is Wenzi.

My sister

It has nothing to do with you

This girl has excellent father and mother.

Although her father is dead

But he was born when the child was born

He once shouted "Long live! Long live!" like a fool.

My mom works herself to the bone for me and this girl.

So, so…

I can't let you, Uncle, meet this girl.

I'm sorry, Uncle

So she's your sister.

So cute

She really...

So cute!

My uncle's family also had a lovely little sister.

She is a tour guide.

You came all the way here...

I am truly grateful.

After that, Wenzi...

He promised me he would never see Uncle Hanada again.

But I never expected that girl…

They had been corresponding with Uncle Shigeru all along.

We even made a pinky promise, but she kept lying to me.

They even went so far as to make a pinky promise...

That is to say

I understand how you feel.

Can you understand? Mr. Taro

sure

You were treated the same way, used as an alibi by her.

No, I was just asked by her.

What did you say? You're her accomplice?

Yes, I'm sorry, because Xiaowen said...

This is her lifelong wish.

It's "my life's wish" again.

How many times has this happened?

The first time - I've encountered this several times.

Also correct

Oh no, I can't remember.

that…

what?

Mr. Shigeta's yard has a rooster-shaped weather vane, right?

Yes, it will turn around.

There was one back then.

But that was 25 years ago.

I'll go ask.

There was no one there.

So you weren't asking about people?

Hey... it says to turn right ahead and then go straight.

Go to the end and then turn left uphill.

You will see the rooster weather vane.

Really?

let's go

Over there

This is a crow navigation system.

Look over there

Miss Wenzi stayed overnight at our house last night.

Then she said, "This might be the last time."

After saying that, he went back.

不是「可能」，就是最后一次

They were all mailed to the post office and then picked up.

Ms. Wenzi said that sending it to her home would cause her trouble.

Didn't we agree to stop here?

But you were secretly communicating behind my back.

Don't you think that's despicable?

I'm so sorry

I have nothing to say.

Wenzi also made a mistake.

She betrayed my dad and my mom.

Please don't blame Miss Wenzi.

I was too quick to accept her kindness; I was the one who was wrong.

Mr. Toshiki, I'm really sorry.

However

Thanks to Miss Wenzi, my dad finally agreed to eat.

My dad is still alive today thanks to her.

We feel really bad for you.

But the only thing I could express to her was gratitude.

Thank you so much

No way! This shouldn't be happening.

I heard that Ms. Fumiko is getting married.

Congratulations!

I didn't come here to hear these things.

Yesterday was actually the anniversary of Kiyomi's death.

That's why she did it before the wedding.

They came here specifically to visit us.

But then again

You really took good care of Ms. Fumiko.

There was no way around it; it was an agreement I made with my parents.

But despite all the effort I put into raising her, she was still taken away like this.

It's really unbearable

I'm the one who took her away. Nice to meet you.

No need for further guidance, anyway, we won't be seeing each other again.

you…

Huh? You wouldn't happen to be...

Professor Shigeta from Kyoto University, right?

I am

I remember you were from Tongli University…

Taro Nakazawa, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Science

That's right, Crow Zhongze, you are Brother Crow Zhongze.

It's an honor, Professor Shigeta, that you actually remembered my name.

Wow, your research is very unique and interesting!

That's enough. If you want to talk about industry secrets, go somewhere else.

This is... my business card.

I've told you enough, haven't I?

I'm sorry, I was rude.

This photo album is full of pictures of Ms. Fumiko.

Come, take a look.

She sometimes sends us photos like this.

She accidentally got lost.

In the end, we didn't get to do anything, which was terrible.

That's really tragic.

Wait, this one!

This is my favorite picture; I don't know when it disappeared.

So it was here.

I'm so sorry

The girl cut her hand on a seashell at the time.

They were yelling "There's blood!" causing chaos and confusion.

That's really tragic.

This plush bunny doll...

Because Mr. Toshiki, you were also in the picture.

So we've watched you grow up.

It's better not to watch it.

The person in these photos is not your daughter, Mr. Shigeta.

Fumiko Kato is... my parents' daughter

That's for sure.

I'm going to take this thing back.

We told Ms. Wenzi that we would return the photos to her.

Unexpectedly, she wanted us to keep it and didn't accept it.

She wants us to remember who she is.

So, if you don't mind, could you please send those photos...

Should we keep it here?

Why?

Why do we have to do this?

Fumiko is Kato Fumiko, not Haneda Kiyomi.

The two are completely different people.

Why do I insist that you remember her? Tell me!

Why?

Bro, calm down... - Shut up

yes

You people...you spent so much time

They've made our Wenzi act all weird.

Mr. Taro, whose sister are you going to marry?

Is she Toshiki Kato's sister?

Yes - that's right.

My dad and I made a promise to protect my younger sister.

I beg you, please stop saying such strange things.

It's really baffling my Wenzi.

Sorry to bother you

Professor Toshiki

You've raised Miss Fumiko so well.

I am very grateful

Stop meddling in other people's business.

Excuse me.

Brother Zhongze, I forgot to bring this.

Brother, brother, Xiaowen contacted me.

She said she was in the Azalea Park, do you know where that is?

Huh? You found it?

The wedding is tomorrow.

What exactly do you want to do?

With your attitude, I can't even bring myself to say anything.

Yesterday was the anniversary of Kiyomi's death.

I have heard

What about this matter?

Ms. Kiyomi originally planned to hold her wedding in two days.

Mr. Shigeru has even made the suit; I'm really looking forward to it.

Did they not mention this to you?

That's fine, they probably don't want to add to your psychological burden.

They are so thoughtful and understanding.

So what?

So I…

I want to include Shigeta's father, as well as his sister and brother.

Invited to my wedding

I'm telling you, now is not the time to talk nonsense.

Listen to me—I can't listen to this!

Didn't you promise never to see them again?

I did not break my promise; we only communicated.

The actual meeting took place after the marriage was finalized.

Didn't they eventually meet?

Brother, that's because...

No means no.

Those guys have nothing to do with the Kato family.

Why insist on inviting them?

How could it be unrelated?

It's just that it doesn't matter.

I'm talking to you.

什么狗屁「繁田爸爸」

What kind of bullshit brother and sister are these?

You have wonderful father and mother

Kyohei Kato and Yuko Kato

Only I, Kato Toshiki, am your older brother, right?

I'm sorry, my explanation wasn't very good.

But they are not unrelated.

It's really not unrelated.

Ms. Kiyomi often exists inside me.

You and your dad also climbed Osaka Castle together.

Memories of eating okonomiyaki and other treats together at "Sanhao"

They even shouted "Long live!" together.

But I have nothing.

I don't remember a single thing related to my father.

He is only a figure who exists in photographs and your words.

There's nothing we can do about it, after all, he was in a car accident.

yes

But thankfully, Miss Kiyomi exists inside me.

Only then did I understand what a father truly is.

Just how much does Miss Kiyomi like Mr. Shigeru?

Just how much does Mr. Shigeru love Ms. Kiyomi?

You simply don't understand.

You are Fumiko Kato, not Kiyomi Shigeta.

I am who I am.

It's so noisy

sorry

Don't worry.

When I invited Mr. Hanada to my wedding

He replied that he was very grateful for my kind intention.

Then she politely declined.

However, brother

Now, the Kiyomi-san inside me is gradually disappearing.

Since the wedding date was set

My memories are fading little by little.

I even forgot the name of the Shigeru family's older brother yesterday.

I can't remember where the house is.

These don't matter.

Let them leave as soon as possible.

Mr. Taro, do you also think this is better?

Well…

Maybe.

I'm so scared

If I get married, Ms. Kiyomi will definitely disappear.

So I wanted to stay inside Kiyomi while she was still inside me.

Let them see what I look like on my wedding day.

No, it won't work no matter how many times you say it.

Our dad is your only dad.

Okay

Since you've said something like that, there's nothing I can do.

I have to go now. Sorry for making such a mess.

Brother, we're leaving now.

Thank you so much for sharing this good news with us.

Furthermore, I sincerely wish you all the best.

If my parents were still alive, they would be overjoyed.

No, they should be in heaven by now.

I was very happy to hear this news.

Kiyomi will definitely join in the fun with them.

I have already informed my late wife of this happy news.

Her round face, brimming with joy, seemed to come into view.

But I was the happiest one.

Because I can live to see the future.

Hearing this good news from you

Looking forward to seeing you again.

We will prepare top-quality Omi beef.

We look forward to your visit.

Why bother eating Omi beef?

dad

mom

I'm sorry

I really want to tell my brother what I'm thinking.

Okay, that's all for today.

Thanks

Ah! Uncle and Little Colt, shall we have another drink together?

Wenzi's eve of her wedding should be celebrated properly.

I'm so sorry.

Then I won't be polite, let's drink together!

Drink up, drink up

Komako, it's fine, you can drink with me too.

Hey you, tomorrow's your sister's wedding day!

I can't let you drink anymore.

Why?

Drinking is supposed to be a celebration, but they won't let me drink.

What's wrong with you?

You've already drunk a lot!

No matter how much I drink, I won't get drunk because I'm too happy.

Another cup

Ah Jun, what's wrong? What happened?

What big thing could happen?

Our family...

Uncle, our family...

It's my dad, my mom, and me.

The three of them raised that girl.

Right?

I've endured many things and have been trying my best.

But that fool Wenzi was completely clueless about the situation.

Formal dresses and stuff are all bullshit.

"I want to show you what it's like to get married" is all bullshit.

Okay, okay, just say less.

Shut up!

Give me another cup

No - another cup won't hurt.

no!

Stop babbling. Just listen to what others are saying, you idiot.

it hurts!

Are you the only one enduring this?

Are you the only one putting in the effort?

Ah Jun, you big idiot!

it hurts…

What's going on? What are you two doing here?

The thought of Fumiko's wedding coming soon...

We were restless

Junshu

Thank you for protecting Wenzi so well.

Because we made a promise.

I want to say that you must keep your promise.

Dad thanks you from the bottom of his heart; you are an excellent older brother.

I'm just doing my job.

Wenzi has settled down, you're next.

Mom, marriage is not the end; Wenzi has a long life ahead of her.

Oh! It's almost time.

Ladies and gentlemen, on your right...

Horyuji Temple is designated as a National Treasure.

It is said to be the oldest existing wooden building in the world.

Ms. Kiyomi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

I am your tour guide for today, Kiyomi Shigeta.

May accompany you through a wonderful day

Hello

Hello

When Miss Kiyomi was going to heaven

Wenzi was about to be born

At that time, the civil servants of Heaven

A moment of negligence led to the death of Miss Kiyomi.

It was transferred to Wenzi.

It really causes trouble for people.

However, at least Ms. Kiyomi can finally go to that side.

「那一头」是？

It's heaven!

We were assigned to take her there.

Because we have no more attachments.

Wait, what's going on?

Don't you understand?

Wenzi is going to have a wedding.

So we have nothing left to hold on to.

Right, Miss Kiyomi?

Wait a minute, what will happen to Wenzi next?

What about Ms. Kiyomi's memories?

Father of the child, it's time to go.

Yes, let's go, Miss Kiyomi—wait a minute.

Get in the car, hurry up!

Hey, get in the car!

Are you done? Time to go.

good!

I really want to live to see Wenzi in her wedding dress.

I want to walk into the wedding venue with her.

Can't we think of a solution?

No, there's nothing I can do about this.

However, Ms. Kiyomi's father

There must be the same idea.

Parents all over the world have the same heart.

Please apologize to Wenzi for me.

Let's go!

Huh?

Hey, Komako

Kouko!

He drank too much and fell into a deep sleep.

There's nothing to worry about, but if he keeps sleeping...

I'll wake him up tomorrow and take him to the wedding venue.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

By the way

What's wrong with you guys?

Ultimately, it was I who broke the promise I made to my brother.

Oh, I see.

But anyway, I should go to bed early tonight.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, see you tomorrow!

Okay

Good night

Okay, goodnight.

I need to ask you for help tomorrow.

(Xiaowen's wedding ceremony)

I'm so sorry about yesterday, I had to leave early because I had something to do.

I'll definitely make it to the wedding, don't worry.

Your slap instilled courage in my cowardly heart.

(Grand Hotel Minami-Osaka)

Come, thank you

Thank you

Ah! Xiaowen

Komako-nee

Has Ah Jun contacted you?

Not yet, oh, sorry.

Ah, wait a minute

Excuse me

Hello?

Wenzi, I've decided what gift to give you.

Look forward to it!

Huh? What?

Is it true or not?

He died

What did Ah Jun say?

He will come, he definitely will come - really?

That's good, let's go then.

Mr. Shigeta

Mr. Shigeta

Are you looking for Mr. Shigeta? They went to the hot springs a little earlier.

Everyone went together

Huh? Just left?

They said they wanted to celebrate something privately or something.

Where is it? Where is the hot spring?

How would I know if you ask me that?

No...no way...

Oh no! This is terrible!

Wenzi, I'm sorry

Professor Toshiki

What’s wrong with you?

Hot springs...

Oh! I forgot my phone.

Scholars, besides reading, seem to lack common sense about everything else.

God!

Xiaowen, you're so beautiful!

Where is my brother?

Not there yet

What is he doing? Seriously.

How should the pre-show rehearsal be handled?

(Nan Grand Hotel)

arrive!

Excuse me… Where is the wedding? It's between the Nakazawa and Kato families.

Sorry, we don't hold weddings here.

Oh no! This is terrible!

President Yamada, it's been a long time! - Oh, President.

How is your father?

Everything is fine, thank you for your concern - that's good.

Start with your right foot, get set—I don't understand!

Right foot

No, you're mistaken.

synchronized steps, that's right.

No, step out with your right foot first, then your left foot.

You've always been like this, right foot, right foot, right foot.

It's okay - No way!

Right foot, step in sync, left foot…

You said you'd use your right foot, but you used your left. It's inexplicable.

My left knee hurts - that's completely irrelevant.

There is fluid buildup in my knee.

It was removed recently; we need to keep in sync.

preparation

What's going on?

What are you doing? Are you alright?

I stacked them up so neatly…

I'm in a hurry

Excuse me

No, I still can't get through.

We should trust him and wait a little longer.

Ah! I've got it, the crow!

Go ask the crows for help in finding it.

Okay, it's a blue van, right?

That's right, it says "Yamada Manufacturing" in big letters on it.

good

The crow cannot read

Oh no!

Sorry to bother you - Yes

I'm sorry, there's another wedding coming up.

Could you please start promptly at 11 o'clock?

I see

Please ask the groom and guests to enter the venue first.

OK

Wait, I have a phone call.

Is it Ah Jun?

no

Hello

I'm so nervous!

Fumiko

Sorry I'm late, but I brought you a big gift.

Here, here

fool

This trick of your fiancé came in handy!

Well done!

Xiaowen looks very happy.

My opinion of you has changed.

etc…

It's tied too tight, really!

No, you need to tie it tighter. You're the family representative.

Yeah?

Okay, go this way, it's coming!

Which way? - This way

preparation

good!

Not bad - Okay, let's go.

Okay, let's go.

The bride is about to enter; everyone please stand.

Preparing for the wedding cake cutting ceremony

Congratulations to both of you!

Amidst everyone's blessings...

Congratulations!

You are more beautiful today than ever before.

Unfurling pure white wings…

Praying that happiness will come.

We all need to…

Thank you, thank you!

Don't use it to set me on fire!

You can light it, it's okay - No.

Flame of Love

Okay, next up will be the representative of the Kato family.

The groom's older brother, Junshu...

I'm here, sorry - good luck!

I'm going now.

I'm sorry, please give me your guidance.

Go for it!

The emcee has already introduced me.

I am Toshiki Kato, the older brother of Fumiko Kato.

Thank you all sincerely for taking time out of your busy schedules today…

I'm sorry, I apologize, I'm a little...

I read it aloud.

Cheer up - you're so noisy!

Okay, thank you all sincerely for taking time out of your busy schedules today.

Make time to attend the wedding of the Nakazawa and Kato families.

Sorry, um…

I actually practiced several times.

But what I wrote is somewhat different from my current mood.

Junshu, just tell me what's on your mind right now.

Really? Thank you.

Excuse me

There is a plush toy shaped like a rabbit.

It's pink, the kind that's not particularly special.

When we first saw it in the shooting game at the festival

Wenzi kept crying and begging me to help her win it back.

I told her I couldn't win.

She said it was her lifelong wish.

She's still like that now, isn't she?

Once you tell someone what you want, they ignore you.

So I spent all the allowance my mom gave me.

I won back the doll

My life has really always been like this.

As you all know, our parents passed away a long time ago.

Wenzi was very young when her father passed away.

Therefore, Wenzi had no memories of her father.

However, my father was there when Wenzi was born.

So happy I'm like a fool

Shouting "Long live!" outside the hospital

And so they kept shouting "Long live! Long live!"

Even though he was that kind of person, he kept telling me...

「哥哥的工作就是要保护妹妹」

I need to make a commitment

Then my mother also said, "Listen, Junshu."

"As an older brother, you must take good care of your younger sister."

He kept instructing me like this

Therefore, later on, when it was just the two of us relying on each other...

I felt even more strongly that I should protect her.

Therefore, he worked desperately.

So today, everyone, please praise me!

You're working very hard!

Amazing, Junshu

Thank you all, I really tried my best.

But...

As I was standing here, something came to mind.

Actually, I didn't win the rabbit back.

I shot several times, but missed.

所以店老板才说「算了，你拿走吧」

I kept telling her, "I won this myself."

I still thought so until just a moment ago.

Just like this idea

I've always said, "I raised Wenzi all by myself."

This has always been my inner thought.

However, in fact

It's because there are many people like that boss.

Stay by our side

They should keep handing the rabbits over to us.

Today I stand here and see your faces.

I realized something for the first time

President Yamada

Small Goat

And Uncle Sanhao

All of us gathered here today

And those who have already gone to heaven

We owe everything we have to you.

Today, Wenzi is so radiant and beautiful.

It's all because so many people love her deeply.

I really…

Thank you so much

In addition, Mr. Taro

Thank you for being willing to love Wenzi.

She's the kind of person who's always forgetting things.

She has a stubborn personality.

You're in for a world of hurt from now on.

That being said, she really is a good child.

So...so straightforward

Such an understanding girl

You can't find a second one anywhere.

She is our darling

If Dad and Mom were here today

They will definitely say the same thing as me.

So, Mr. Taro, please, cherish her.

OK

After all, she is our darling.

Please don't hurt her.

OK

Fumiko, you too, you should cherish Mr. Taro.

I know.

Please make sure to lend them a helping hand in the future.

I sincerely ask you all.

Dad, Mom, how are you? Did I protect Wenzi well?

Fumiko

Thank you so much all this time.

I feel very happy to be your older brother.

Thank you everyone.

Thank you for coming today.

See you later

Thank you all - Congratulations!

You are so beautiful!

Fortunately, we made it in time.

Seeing bananas was utterly devastating.

And they even went to the wrong restaurant

I'm so sorry

Thank you for coming today.

May I ask where you are from?

Hikone

Hikone? Huh? You made a special trip here?

Thank you so much

Miss Wenzi

Congratulations!

You must be happy.

OK

Be happy! Thank you.

Be happy! Thank you.

I'm leaving now, thank you.

Thank you so much

Be happy! Thank you.

What are wedding favors?

(Taro Nakazawa, Fumiko Kato)

Dad, look at this.
