Welcome back.

Fukami-san.

Why is she here?

She must be the one who harassed our family.

We saw this before, right?

We saw this when we encountered Fumiya right?

Fumiya came here.

Just recently? Yesterday or the day before yesterday.

Today? Maybe he came just a while before.

That can't possibly be true.

Isn't this some sort of message Fumiya wants to convey to your family?

Message?

Fumiya was standing here.

Here. Help me with the plates.

Certainly.

Alright.

I'm skipping dinner.

What? I fixed your meal already.

I'm on a diet.

Oh, I see.

Hmm?

Here. Have a bite.

Thank you.

Don't give her snack before mealtime.

Okay.

Ah, no...

Having this small a child must cause you lots of worries, huh?

Oh, good work.

Good work.

Grandpa!

Hey~

She's so creepy.

Mommy is in a bad mood, huh?

Misaki Fumiya-san.

Did you meet this person named Ono at the training center?

The one with a mole here. He's my ex-boyfriend.

He can chatter on about almost everything.

We broke up when he was jailed again after beating the hell out of his friend.

Hey. When you were in middle school,

you killed a primary school girl, didn't you?

How did it feel?

Welcome-

What's wrong? Did you forget something?

Good evening.

Good evening.

Perfect timing. This is the stole you lent me the other day.

Thank you so much.

She went to look for Aki's record together with me.

No, I didn't do anything.

Um, I just accompanied him. I didn't do anything.

I wanted to treat her to something,

but in the end, all the shops were closed.

Ah, you haven't eaten dinner, right Kaa-san?

You... read that too?

Yes. I read it.

I see.

You must feel relieved, right?

Relieved about what?

Sorry.

No, I'm sorry for saying such an insensitive thing.

You're Futaba-chan, right?

I went to your house earlier...

...and saw your parents.

I didn't want to see you.

"Even so, we'll be living on"

Episode 4: The exposed truth

Translation by yuizaki_libra@livejournal Timing by YYeTs team

Why didn't I recognize her, I wonder.

She's grown so big...

...and pretty.

You remember her?

Yeah.

She used to play together with Aki.

I see.

When Aki was in senior kindergarten,

She... you know, that one.

That one... you know.

This person. Um...

What?

You know this person... The one playing baseball.

Nomo?

Right.

Nomo-san.

She did Nomo-san's impression for Aki.

Why Nomo's impression?

Aki was so happy to see Nomo-san.

Oh~

That boy...

...isn't together with his family, right?

They didn't even try to look for him.

He's making great clocks even now.

Clocks?

In the past we used to sit together with that family at the shop, right?

When Aki poured sake for Otou-san, he was so happy that he got really drunk.

He talked to the husband of that family.

Oh.

That man was reputed among townspeople since he was the chief of a clock factory.

He was always noticed everywhere.

He was like an elite?

Yeah, something like that.

It seemed that he didn't like Otou-san's getting over-familiar with him.

He would ask Otou-san about his education or his annual income.

After seeing the cheap clock Otou-san got during the one-year celebration...

...of the opening of our snack bar,

he tapped Otou-san on the shoulder and told him "Please do you best."

Otou-san laughed away foolishly though.

At that moment,

that child also made a face like yours.

Fumiya?

Why did he do that? To his own father?

Can I see him?

Otou-san is resting in peace.

That's the cheapest one.

It's fine. Otou-san's posture is bad.

His face looks like a funerary urn anyway.

You say terrible things.

Do you know where he took me on our first date?

Hmm?

Though I was quite modern,

...he took me to a calligraphy exhibition, you know?

A calligraphy exhibition is impossible, right?

Do you know what he told me on our way back?

"Ah, thanks. Thanks for the hard work."

He said that as if we would meet again.

What did he say in his last moments?

He wanted to look for Fumiya.

I see...

Thanks for the hard work.

Morning, Onee-chan.

Morning.

Here.

Thanks.

Here you go.

Yesterday, Fukami Aki-chan's mother came here?

I heard from Aki-chan's mother yesterday.

I forgot to tell you all.

I've been doing that.

I've been meeting Fukami-san's family many times recently.

Were you alright?

Somehow, they are really nice people.

Say, Otou-san, I...

Aren't you late already?

Go get ready now.

Don't tell me we have to move again?

It's gonna be fine.

Let's call the police.

Why should we call the police?

Because silent phone calls is a violation of the law right?

We should ask them to catch the criminal.

If they do, we can feel relieved too...

We can't feel relieved.

We are the assailant's family.

It has nothing to do with you, Akari.

This happened before you were born.

I think Otou-san and Okaa-san should meet them too.

You didn't properly apologize to them 15 years ago, right?

Akari. Get ready for school.

We didn't get to meet them.

How many times did you go?

We went there many times.

Then shouldn't you have gone a few tens times?

Shouldn't you have gone a few hundreds, a few thousands times?

If we meet them now,

what are we gonna do if they demand compensation?

It's 8 o'clock already. Go.

Shoot.

Okaa-san, have you signed the handout for me?

Yeah. I put it into your bag.

Otou-san, I washed your shoes, so wear the other pair.

Thank you.

Sure.

Going for an interview? You want a ride?

Yeah.

What?

Ah, nothing.

You know this?

Hyuga-natsu right?

It's called hyuga-natsu huh?

Yeah.

I'll drop you off at the east entrance. Is that okay?

Otou-san.

What?

You know something about Onii-chan's current whereabouts, right?

I saw this at our house in Matsumidai.

I saw Onii-chan.

I saw him in Tokyo. I called out to him, but he just disappeared right away.

You called out to him?

Otou-san.

Your lunch box.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Remember to make eye contact. Look, your posture!

Have a safe trip.

I'm off.

Thanks.

Futaba.

Don't tell Okaa-san and Akari about your meeting Fumiya.

Okay.

And also, don't meet the people from that family again.

I'm saying this because I'm worried about you.

They detest us.

If...

They don't detest us.

They just want to know the truth.

They are really really desperate to know the truth...

...and to know what you and Okaa-san think.

That's just merely your own...

It's not my imagination.

Because even I don't know what you're thinking.

Futaba.

I met Fumiya once.

Come.

I don't want it.

Hey, don't you think more customers will come if you refurbish this place...

...a little to make it more Canada-ish?

As if I had that money.

Since you've found the murderer's family, you can demand compensation from them right?

It's ironic how you're involved...

...with them like that after all this time.

I'm not.

It's a waste of effort. Things became this way already.

In battles, there is no good side or bad side.

Both sides think they are good.

That's what Doraemon said right?

Doraemon?

From the memorable Tentomushi Comics,

volume 1, chapter 8 "Chin Up to the Ancestors," got it?

Yes, he... Hello?

Yes, sure. Yes.

Thank you very much.

Yes. Sure.

Yes. Certainly.

Please do...

Certainly, certainly...

3 years ago, when I just got used to my job as a taxi driver,

in front of a pastry shop in Aoyama, Tokyo,

I saw the back figure of this boy, and I knew right away it was Fumiya.

He looked grown-up.

He still had that thin body, and was working hard to move the boxes.

He was soaked in sweat, and was working very earnestly.

Then, I got off the taxi.

Yeah.

Somehow I thought of calling out to him.

I thought no matter what Fumiya insisted,

I would take him home all the same.

But I couldn't call out to him.

What? No way. Why didn't you?

I smelled a scent of curry from a nearby household.

It reminded me of the first curry Akari ever made the previous dinner.

You and Okaa-san, all of us ate together.

We were all saying our opinions, that it tasted too sweet or it was well done.

And even so, everyone took many servings.

In the end, when we peered into the empty pot,

Akari looked so happy. I remembered that face of hers.

Okaa-san, Futaba and Akari, everyone was smiling.

And I thought if I called out to Fumiya then,

those smiles might disappear.

The family I had protected might just fall apart.

I went back like that.

You guys were there.

I breathed a sigh of relief...

...and ate dinner with you guys again.

Why? Why?

I cast aside my son to protect our family.

During the one week after Fumiya was arrested, Okaa-san's hair became all white.

Akari was inside her womb.

I thought we couldn't withstand much longer.

But Okaa-san tried her best. She tried her very very best...

...to stay together with someone like me,

..and to be you guys' mother.

Onii-chan's too, isn't she?

Okaa-san is Onii-chan's mother too, isn't she?

It's my fault.

Onii-chan is family too, right?

Fumiya killed someone. He killed someone!

Understand that for me.

I can't.

I think you're terrible. A parent won't do what you did.

When did you come?

Um, Fukami-san.

What is it?

Um, your mother...

Never mind about her.

Well, but...

Do you have a favorite baseball player?

Sorry?

Favorite baseball player.

Nomo.

Can you do his impression?

No, I can't. Why are you asking?

Nothing. Anyway, my mother is fine now.

Yes.

There aren't any customers today, right?

Isn't there something good about this?

Like something you can teach me.

Ah, impossible. I don't really go fishing.

It's so rare for you to fumble with your cell phone.

I received a call from that person. She said she would call again.

That person? You mean, Fujimura Natsuki-san? The one we met in Tokyo.

How did you figure that out with just "that person"?

Eh? Because just now Fukami-san said "that person" with a kinda shy feeling.

I didn't say it with a kinda shy feeling.

Never mind then.

Here.

When I'm in a place like this...

...I feel as though there was nothing bad in this world.

There was nothing bad?

All throughout the world, in the past and the future, nothing.

There wasn't any bad thing or any night we should be afraid of. No bad thing at all.

Now that you mention it, I can feel that way too.

Right?

Then, it's that?

Toyama-san is also a normal girl.

Fukami-san is a normal man, too.

Both of us are just normal like that, huh?

Just normal like that, I suppose.

That would be nice, right?

Nice, I guess.

Yeah.

We ended up imagining weird things, huh?

We did, indeed.

If only things could go on like this, forever...

But that would also mean...

...Aki had never been there, wouldn't it?

You're right.

I got the name of that fruit.

It's hyuga-natsu.

Hyuga-natsu?

My father knew that name.

Then, as expected...

My father said he didn't know where my brother was.

No, but he could have been lying.

I don't think he was lying.

Why?

My sister was a mamma's child.

I was always a daddy's girl.

That's why I can tell. "Ah, he was closing his eyes."

"Since it's something important, when he closes his eyes,"

"somehow, his eyes will become like this."

For some reason, it all became clear to me.

When people... just keep running away,

their eyes look dead as if they weren't living at all.

Poor Otou-san.

From that person?

If you're looking for Yuri-chan, she went to buy some juices with Shachou.

I'm Fukami.

It has been a long time.

Welcome.

Where shall we seat?

Over there.

Please go ahead.

Excuse me.

What would you like?

An iced coffee, please.

Yes.

Two of that.

Certainly.

Um, I know that I should visit your family,

...and formerly apologize for everything.

That's not it.

That's really not what we need.

I want you to tell me what you know.

Yes.

What do you mean, "yes"?

I'm sorry. I haven't met my son after he was arrested.

At that time, we was turned down when we tried to meet him.

Why so?

I think it's because he didn't want to meet me.

Why so?

So that means... you've cast him aside all this time?

I'm sorry.

You don't need to say sorry.

Why did Fumiya kill Aki?

How does he feel about his past action now?

I don't know.

You're his father, right?

I'm sorry.

I said I don't need your sorry.

What on earth is this?

You're totally making it look like it's some stranger's business.

You're Misaki-san? You are Misaki-san, right?

Do you recognize me? I'm Koumoto.

It has been a long time.

You came back?

Ah, no.

Hiro-kun?

I'm the calligraphy teacher. You're Hiro-kun right? Aki-chan's brother?

Why are you with this person?

There's some business.

You can still put on a tie and go out to meet people huh?

Do you understand?

Your son killed such a lovely child.

And yet you can still live so well.

You were quite arrogant in the past, right?

Is it okay for him to behave like this?

Well...

Lower your head. Go down on your knees and apologize.

No, that's not the point.

Are you listening? Don't just keep quiet. Say something!

Sorry.

Murderer.

Fusae-san.

Give Aki-chan back.

Fusae-san.

Please stop.

Please stop.

I will visit your family to apologize again.

I would want to meet your mother too.

Fumiya and I used to eat takoyaki and do our homework together at this takoyaki stand.

We would talk about our future sometimes.

Is that right?

We bought our sneakers together over there.

And there was where we bought CDs together.

We were friends at that time.

Yes.

Sorry.

Is it okay if I kill Fumiya?

Though I don't know where he is,

plus I have my job, and I even read manga too.

But perhaps, when the time comes, I will probably kill him.

It doesn't look like you're gonna look for Fumiya anyway.

My deceased father...

...might be a bit pathetic here and there.

But in the end, he... how should I put it... He made his resolution.

Perhaps, he had been thinking long and hard about how he wanted to live...

...and how he wanted to die...

...so that in the end, he could make his resolution.

Though there are really sad things, dreadful things,

or unreasonable things,

in his last moments, he made his resolution to not run away from them...

...and to face everything properly.

Until the very end, I...

...could respect that father of mine.

She said she was a daddy's child.

You mean Futaba?

He also said that.

At the takoyaki stand.

"Well, if you ask me,"

"I'm a daddy's child, I guess."

That was... that was what he said.

What a relief.

Sorry?

I thought something might have happened to you.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Ah, I decided my part-time job already.

There is this bar in front of the station, right? I'll work there.

I see, I see.

That's great.

Here you go.

I...

I want to meet Fumiya.

I want to meet Fumiya...

...and bring him back to this family.

To be honest, I don't know how to go about doing that.

I don't even know what I should tell him.

I just...

I just want to live together with Fumiya again,

...to eat together with him again,

...to work and continue living.

I want to atone for the past together with Fumiya.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

I'm home.

After a long time, Akari said she would be making curry.

It's not really "after a long time," right?

After a long time, I guess.

Can I make it?

You're gonna do fine.

Well, I should be on my way.

Ah, I'll send you back.

I'll drive you to Tokyo.

Ah, it's really far away.

I would be going to Tokyo tomorrow or some other day anyway.

How come?

It's about what we talked the other day.

My father found this nurse who knew something about the murderer.

You can meet her in Tokyo?

I'm not sure about that.

Then you have to contact her properly.

Eh?

Here you go.

Ah, thanks.

That person came again?

No.

Then what? Did something happen?

Let's talk about it after eating curry.

Tell me right now.

I'm thinking of searching for Fumiya.

Okaa-san, I have to put garlics last?

Last.

I don't think I'll be able to get his address right away,

but I'll find it out for sure...

Should I turn down the fire?

Yes.

I want to bring him back to this family.

Well, I understand your anxieties.

I don't know what kind of person Fumiya is now, either.

But I want you to believe in me.

Okaa-san, please. I ask of you.

I'm done!

Coming~

Otou-san. Calm your head down.

What were you talking about?

Nothing much. We just talked about whether we should keep a dog.

You want to keep a dog?

We didn't talk about that.

Yeah, yeah.

Enough of that. We're gonna eat now.

I'm sorry, Okaa-san.

It's fine.

It's something I've decided.

I'll go look for Fumiya.

What? What did you just say...?

That's not it, Akari.

I'll go look for Onii-chan.

Onii-chan, you say? THAT Onii-chan?

I mean Fumiya.

Don't mention that name in front of Akari.

That's the name of our family member.

Okaa-san?

It's fine, Akari.

I won't give my consent to that.

I know that Akari must feel insecure too.

That's why let's take our time and talk this out.

My answer is still the same even if we talk it out.

Takami.

It's fine, Akari. It's fine.

I won't ever approve that.

What did we try our best in the last 15 years for?

What have we protected this family for?

We can still protect it. We can still protect it from now on.

This house has no place for a murderer.

He killed a 7-year-old child. He killed a small girl.

He can't be a decent person.

We don't know what he will do.

Okaa-san.

He is no decent being.

- Onii-chan... - He is no decent being!

Onii-chan is family, you know?

He's not my family or anything.

We can't do anything but accept that fact.

Impossible!

Okaa-san?

It's fine.

Let's listen to what Otou-san has to say.

Eh?

I can't stand it either, and I'm scared.

It's fine. Alright? It's really fine.

You don't have to say anything.

But it's just like what Onee-chan said.

Onii-chan is still Onii-chan.

Family is still family.

There's no helping it.

I got it. Thanks.

Let's talk about this another time.

She's put so much effort in making us curry after all.

Sorry, sorry. Anyway, let's just eat. Okay?

Let's get the rice.

I'll warm it up.

Okaa-san. Let's eat curry.

Akari, that's not it.

What?

You know, that Onii-chan...

Takami. Takami?

...is not my child.

That child wasn't born by me.

Really?

Really.

That's why you have nothing to do with him.

Eh? Then what?

Who is Onii-chan's mother then?

You don't need to know that.

Do you know, Onee-chan?

Let's stop here. Okay?

It's just that things are this way.

Huh?

Anyway...

How- how about me?

Which side am I?

What are you saying?

Futaba is Okaa-san's...

Hm?

Futaba.

Ah, no, no.

It's fine, it's fine.

Futaba, this is...

It's fine. I won't drop it.

Otou-san, can you step aside?

I'm putting curry on.

I can't take this.

Ah, have to start the fire.

She said that she remembered you father...

...and would want to lend her help if she could.

Oh, is that right?

However, this person is not the nurse who was directly in charge of the murderer.

She's another nurse.

Yes, hello?

Yes. Yes, I'm his son.

Not at all. Thank you for helping my father.

Yes. Yes, that's right.

I would like to meet the nurse who was in charge of the criminal...

Sorry?

She's gone missing?

Where's the hotel?

Would be nice if there's karaoke.

Um, you said "she's gone missing"?

The nurse who was in charge of him was this person named Azuma Yukie-san.

Yes.

Not so long after Fumiya was discharged,

for some reason, she suddenly went missing.

What could that mean, I wonder?

Futaba!

Futaba and Onii-chan are the same.

We saw the night.

The night?

We both saw the same night.

I did Nomo.
