Original subtitles

Onii-chan?

Yeah, Futaba.

Onii-chan!

Since Futaba's here, I should have bought that.

Buy what?

When I was on my way, there was a festival.

They were selling toffee apples.

I remember you used to like it a lot.

Did I?

Whenever you went to the festival, you liked to eat them the most.

Your mouth would get lots of red stain.

I should have bought some.

What's wrong? You want to eat them, Futaba?

Welcome back, Onii-chan.

Hello.

- I'll make some tea. - Ah, no. I'm fine.

Sorry. Did my daughter drop by for a visit?

No... She's missing?

Not this.

This... was what your husband brought the other day.

Ah, I'm sorry.

He asked me what he should bring on his visit to his frequent customer.

I had no idea he was visiting you.

Ah, um, it's from a well-know brand...

- It's hot outside, isn't it? - Yes, quite.

- Say, isn't there anything nicer? - None.

- How* did you get here? - Oh, erm... (*nande can mean "why," so Kyoko's question can be interpreted as "Why did you come here," which explains Takami's hesitation)

Oh, I said "how"...

By "how" I mean, means of transportation.

I got here by train and bus.

- Oh, line Minobu? - Yes.

- Um... - Yes?

We haven't met for so long.

Since we last met at Osaki-sensei's place.

Yes. That was the last time.

- The station building. - Yes, third floor.

- The one that smelt of mold. - What are you talking about?

We spent quite some time together because of patchwork.

It was for culture school, the one in front of the train station.

I'm sorry.

Ah, go ahead.

It's fine. Um, I think it's just my husband.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

Excuse me then.

- Where does this come from? - Her husband gave us.

- Why did you take out something we received from them? - But...

- Sorry... - Yes?

My husband is saying that he wants to pay a visit too.

Sure, go ahead.

Yeah.

- There isn't anything else? - What?

Kaki-peanuts?

Then I don't have anything else.

Excuse me.

- Um, he's coming right away. - Yes.

- You actually found out this place? - Yeah, I called many people to ask.

You've missed Obaa-chan?

Where are you staying now, Onii-chan?

What's your cell phone number?

I can't ask you that?

- Say, Futaba. - What?

You don't like toffee apples anymore?

- Not so much. - I see.

You don't want to meet Otou-san and the others?

I knew the truth the other day.

That Onii-chan and I have a different mother.

You knew it, didn't you?

You just kept that to yourself, didn't you?

As I thought, it's like that, huh?

That Onii-chan and I got along well with each other was...

Futaba.

I'm going.

Futaba will go with you!

Take me with you.

"Even so, we'll be living on"

Episode 6: The uninvited guests

Translation and fine timing by yuizaki_libra@livejournal

- Ah, it's so hot. - Welcome back.

- Welcome back. - Yeah.

Ken-chan's gone out for delivery again?

He asked me to let him take a break today.

- Oh, he's going back home I guess. - No, no.

He doesn't have any home.

I see. He doesn't have a family, huh?

- Shall I make one more? - Yeah.

I said I know already.

I don't doubt you or anything.

I said I'll work out a way right? Really. I said really.

Serious? Yeah. Saho too.

Saho loves Akkun too.

Really.

Eh?

Everything.

- What time is it now? Shall we turn on the TV? - Yeah.

It's begun already I think.

- Rebroadcast? - Oh, yes.

- Are you watching it? - Yes.

She got pregnant.

- I wonder what they'll do. - Well...

Where's my wife?

You mean it might be my child?

- I can't see you anymore. - Answer me!

- Who are you? - Oh, he is...

I'm her doctor. I'm the doctor in-charge of your wife.

She's consulting me about her pregnancy.

We haven't seen each other for so long.

It's ending soon.

- Ah, I'll make some tea... - Oh, no.

This necktie looks weird, doesn't it?

Maybe coffee is better.

I only have the powdered one.

Why don't you buy anything to serve your guests?

Those people are not our guests or anything, right?

Ah, maybe they are hungry.

You have tsuyu (noodle dipping broth) huh? Say, do you have soumen (white Japanese noodles) or something?

I'll cut it.

Hey, what? I won't do that sort of thing...

My mother is boiling soumen now.

Ah, no. Please don't bother...

- We still have a lot left. - No, we are fine...

Thank you for the food.

- Then Hiroki, you eat this. - Yeah.

My husband and son have been living here by themselves all this time.

He doesn't have anything else in the refrigerator except for this.

It's fine.

Though he's 29, he still doesn't shave daily.

Staying with his father makes him so reckless like this.

Um...

- Misaki-san... - Yes?

- Are you in good health? - Ah, yes.

My husband liked sake a lot.

I used to meet him many times.

- At City Hall avenue? - Yes.

There was a snack bar right? A lady owned it.

He used to sneak out and go there from time to time.

Oh, I once asked the name of the Mama there.

- What was her name again? - Well...

- You don't go there any more? - I don't.

My husband doesn't go to such places any longer.

Oh I see.

- Fukami-san, we... - Oh, right, you see...

I'm not Fukami any more.

My husband and I divorced each other.

It wasn't because of the snack bar though.

It's been 15 years since that happened.

Since that happened?

Since my son caused that incident.

Incident...?

He took away your daughter's life.

We have not forgotten what our son did.

Of course, we don't wish for your forgiveness either.

You know, at first... At first, the turtle caught a cold.

- Right? - Yeah.

Did you know? Turtles can catch a cold.

They can sneeze or have pneumonia.

After Aki was dead, none of us took care of it,

so the turtle caught a cold.

- Right? - We went to release it into the river.

When I gently released the turtle, the water of the river was so cold.

Then I remembered. That my daughter's hand was cold too.

When I tried to hold her hand, it was cold.

It was cold... so cold.

- We are terribly sorry. - We are terribly sorry.

I'm so sorry I didn't take responsibility for this as his father.

Can't you understand? That's not the point!

- Shall I cut some watermelon? - Yes. No it's fine.

- Hey, clean up the plates. - Ah...

- Please eat the watermelon. - Ah, but...

After eating, please leave.

Perhaps this is the most she can bear today.

Why didn't you hit him?

It would have been better if I had hit him, right?

Who knows.

- I recalled something about the donburi. - Donburi (rice bowl)?

Otou-san told me there was once he passed by their house in his car.

It was raining that day, and at the entrance, there were delivery dishes of ramen, donburi...

...and gyoza all piling up, and rainwater was accumulating.

Seeing that, Otou-san thought...

..."Things must be tough for them too."

I thought, "Huh? What is this person saying?"

"Things must be tough for them too."

There isn't anything to sympathize with them, is there?

But even you, Hiroki, aren't you getting along well with the assailant's sister, too?

I'm not.

You are not?

Futaba. Here you go.

- Ah, thank you. - Sure.

- Where's Onii-chan's one? - No need.

Futaba, how is your work?

I just started working part-time at a bar.

- I see. - Delicious.

You couldn't find jobs huh?

Were you bullied at school too?

Not at all. I wasn't at all. I wasn't. No.

- Those people... - Really, no one did anything.

- It's fine, Futaba. - Sorry...

- I'll buy you a new one. - I'm sorry.

I'm working, and I have savings too.

Savings?

Just a little money though. Just a little.

Onii-chan, don't tell me, that means...

What is this?

Eh?

- Ferry? - Yeah. To Innoshima.

- Innoshima? - It's in Seto Inland Sea.

They are recruiting trainmen.

Well, I found this 2 years ago, so maybe the recruitment is already over, though.

If I live there, hopefully I can find jobs.

Why this place?

It was where our mother was born.

I also know where she was buried.

I'm thinking of moving her grave.

Futaba. Will you come with me too?

- How are we getting there? - By train or by plane.

I prefer plane since I've never ridden one.

It'd be great if we can go by plane.

- There's no time to wait, huh? - Eh?

Let's go tomorrow.

Hello?

Azuma Yukie-san is alive.

I understand.

I'll go to Tokyo tomorrow, so we'll go together.

Also, Satsukawa-san, whom we met with the other day...

...showed me a photo of Azuma Yukie-san at that time.

I'll take a photo of it and send you.

When you were small, you were also cute like her.

The field was only half as small as this in the past, right?

You're right.

You tried your best to take care of me.

Because you're the important treasure your mother entrusted me with.

What? Stop being so serious.

Say Otou-san, what should I do to make you feel happy?

What?

What can I do so that Okaa-san will be pleased?

Like, marry a Hanshin* player? (* Hanshin Tigers - a famous Japanese baseball team)

It's a simple thing to make parents happy.

What is it?

You just have to live longer than us.

Marry someone you love.

Papa? The toy doesn't move.

Yeah.

- Kohei? - Ah, sorry.

How terrible of them... to still fuss over something that happened 15 years ago.

- That's not for you to say. - Eh?

Ah, sorry. Forget what I said.

This place.

Ah, um, it's all right. I can do it alone.

Yes.

Azuma-san.

Um, this is Fukami-san whom I told you about yesterday.

- Sorry, where could your daughter be... - Tomorrow's my son's wedding ceremony.

Congratulations.

Then your daughter will be attending the ceremony as well, won't she?

There's no way I'll invite her. We aren't related to her anymore.

Um, sorry.

If you don't tell us your daughter's whereabouts,

we will come to see you at the ceremony tomorrow too.

Seeing Fukami-san say something so forceful like that, I was startled.

Thank you very much.

Um, Yukie-san must be in the middle of work now.

- Oh... - We have quite plenty of time, don't we?

Even if we take time to eat dinner, there's still lots of time left...

- Am I a bother? - I don't mean it that way...

I'm in the same circumstance...

...so I understand your grief.

I can share your sadness. But Toyama-san...

She will just double your unhappiness.

I'm sorry. Then well, let's met at the actual place at 9 o'clock.

[Toyama Futaba]

[Toyama Futaba]

Hello?

Eh? I'll be the one going?

It's Saho's money right?

But the one using it is Akkun.

You make me do everything.

Thank you.

Welcome.

- Wait, wait a minute! - Let go!

- Stop right there! - Let me go!

You stop right there! - What the? Let go!

Crap!

- Oi! Call the police! - Wait, you've gotta be kidding me...

Otou-san. The police. There's a call from the police.

Come in.

Ah, would you like to drink something?

This really tanned person will serve the drinks for us.

Um, then...

Ah, um, there's something on your shirt.

What will I do?

Why did I wear a white shirt again?

What? You've been singing alone?

I haven't. Only 2 songs or so.

Though you're running away from home?

Just because I'm running away from home, I can't sing?

Didn't you say this the other day, Fukami-san?

That you wanted to try going for karaoke.

What were you singing?

- Ishikawa Sayuri. - "Walk Across Amagi?"

No, "You & Night & Whisky."

What? You sang that by yourself?

Eh? I can't?

No, I just think you're a pretty funny person.

- How about the other? - It doesn't matter, does it?

Why are you hiding it?

Sakamoto Fuyumi's "I'm Falling in Love with You Again."

- Aren't both of those what people sing when they drink sake? - Yeah, I guess.

What have you been doing since you left your house?

What would you like to drink?

Like yesterday, what were you doing?

Oh, I went to my grandmother's place.

- I'll have Oolong tea. - Eh?

- They don't have Oolong tea? - They do.

But wait a minute. I haven't decided on anything yet.

Your parents came to my house.

They met my mother.

- Is that so? - They were worried about you, Toyama-san.

But it doesn't have anything to do with you, Fukami-san.

I was worried too. I was wondering if something happened to you.

Fukami-san, you can drink ginger ale, right?

What happened?

Ah, sorry. Erm, I'll have two ginger ales and...

And... and French fries, mix pizza...

...and crisp beacon salad. Ah, yes.

Oh, I'll cancel mix pizza.

Please make it seafood pizza.

What? Oh, you don't have it? Then...

Just ginger ale, please.

I met my brother yesterday.

At my grandmother's nursing home. It was a coincidence.

- But... - Where is Fumiya now?

Fukami-san, your eyes look scary.

Please tell me.

- Where is he? - Please calm down. Let's take a seat.

Why are you hiding it from me?

Did Fumiya show any sign of remorse?

Thank you for waiting. Here are your drinks.

Please enjoy your time.

Why ginger ale?

What is it?

- I like gorillas. - Pardon me?

Onii-chan remembers that...

...so he took me to see them. - And so?

"And so," you said? Well, it's just like that.

"It's just like that?"

He just said "See you."

- Is that right? - Yes.

I got it.

I'll look for him myself.

- I'm sorry. - About what?

Our positions are different from the get-go.

And we aren't exactly related or anything.

Okay.

Ah, okay.

Sorry!

No... Well, erm...

I...

Thanks for the hard work.

Sorry, Futaba. We can't go by plane anymore.

Let's drive to the station and take the train.

I've lost some of my money,

but I will work to earn a bit more.

What's wrong? You want to ride the plane?

What's wrong?

- Onii-chan. - Yeah?

Before we go, there's a place I want you to visit.

Let's go see Fukami-san.

Fukami-san wants to see you, Onii-chan.

He wants to see you to ask you about his sister. Go see him.

I'll go with you.

If... If something might happen,

I will protect you, Onii-chan. So please, let's go see him.

Why? Why are you saying that for Hiroki's sake?

We are the same. Fukami-san and I are the same.

Even though we've been on completely different sides these 15 years,

both of us have been living in the same memories.

It's sneaky of me if I'm the only one who gets to see you.

It's sneaky of me to only see you when Fukami-san wants to meet you too.

That's why, please show Fukami-san that you have reflected on your action.

- Reflected on my action? - Regarding Fukami Aki-chan.

Why do I have to reflect?

Why are you saying that? Though we are siblings...

You killed Aki-chan, didn't you?

Aki-chan went to heaven.

It was better if she hadn't been born.

Onii-chan! Onii-chan.

Aki-chan wanted to live!

How can you possibly say it was better if she hadn't been born?

Onii-chan! Jeez!

There are people living in sorrow! You know?

People who have lived each and every day of the last 15 years in sadness!

People whose tears will no longer flow because they have cried too much because of that sadness!

Why? Why? Onii-chan! Why? Tell me!

Why? Onii-chan!

Jeez!

It's all right. She's still there.

Don't block the way!

- You don't feel embarrassed when you walk with me? - Why are you asking me that?

Nothing. I really can manage on my own now.

Fukami-san, you're trying your hardest for the sake...

...of your family and your sister.

I want to help people like you.

I want to lend a hand to people who are trying their hardest.

Fujimura-san, you're mistaken about me.

Sorry?

I've never worked particularly hard.

Nor have I done anything for anyone's sake.

My father had to feed me because I am out of work even at this age.

I find it glaring to walk outside.

While wanting to die, I read manga.

While wanting to die, I choose the clothes I wear at the convenience store.

While wanting to die, I piss and shit.

I've clung to that house in the mountains all this time.

I'm a person who's like a slug.

I'm not saying anything funny.

I cannot do anything even though I say I'm going to avenge my sister.

I say revenge,

but I still read gravure magazines as usual.

I say revenge until night and sleep comes.

Then I piss and shit again...

Like a slug, I cling to the earth...

...and crawl about the ground.

- Then, why? - About what?

It's not like I think of you as a hero or anything.

I do think you piss and shit too.

But you are looking for the assailant, aren't you?

Why are you looking for him?

Isn't it because you're trying to get your life back?

I don't think there's anything embarrassing about that, though.

What should I answer you?

Just say "Yes."

Yes.

- Fukami-san. - Is there something else you want to say?

Seems that she's gonna be done with her job soon.

Come here!

Now, sit down! Just sit down!

Alright.

Ah, Ken-chan. Your bankbook is safe.

Apologize. Apologize to Kenji.

What the heck is that manner of yours? You wanna go to the police again?

Shachou, that's enough.

But you can't let things lie around like that anymore.

Really, it's fine.

Well, if you say so.

Ken-chan!

Stop, Yuri! You can't enter yet!

- We're done. This ends here. - This ends here?

- Kenji said he'll forgive her. - No way!

- Why? She took your money, you know? - Ken-chan, take that for me.

I can't believe it. Just because he's so good-natured.

Good-natured?

What's so bad about taking his money?

See? She hasn't reflected on her action at all.

What's so bad about taking a murderer's money?

What?

You're the only one who doesn't know about it.

This person's real name is Misaki Fumiya.

When he was in junior high school, he killed a 7-year-old girl.

He's Boy A, the criminal behind the murderer of a primary school girl.

Yuri. Come here.

- No! - Come here!

No! I want Ken-chan!

Sorry, you are Azuma-san?

My name is Fukami.

I would like to inquire about Misaki Fumiya.

Ah, yes.

Do you have a moment?

Then, let's talk at that cafe.
