Thanks for the food!

RYAN

What's this?

It's salty.

You added salt?

Hiroto made the miso soup.

I like it the saltier the better.

In this house we're used to our own tastes. Don't go changing it, you freeloader.

Free meals and sleeping here.

Talking about sleeping, aren't I just sleeping in your room?

Who's room do you want to sleep in?

You listen to me. Do you think I'd let you and Chika sleep in the same room without you guys being married? Idiot

If you're done eating, go air the futon.

And since it's Sunday, polish the store windows until they sparkle

Also, I'm thirsty. Go make me some barley tea.

Irritating

What did you say?

Nothing

Hiroto, do it.

Thanks.

Chika, you can't spoil this guy. He'll get conceited, a guy like him.

Yes, yes, yes.

Oni-chan, what are you doing today? Going diving?

Jun, what about you?

I'll go too.

Eh? You're going? But your exam is during the summer holidays isn't it?

RYAN

But you said that it was ok to have a change once in a while.

RYA

I did? Ah, if I said so.

You look like you don't want to take me along.

Lately oni-chan's been rather strange, going off to the sea by himself

Or...

What?

You've got a girlfriend?

No way, that's impossible, right?

Aren't you guys being rude? "No way" is still acceptable but,

"No way, that's impossible, right?" That's too much.

You're awake early on a Sunday morning.

Ah, good morning.

Good morning.

I'm going out today.

You've been going out a lot recently.

Really?

You went out last week too, where did you go?

With my friends.

Ah, I've got to go. I'm going.

Hey, you forgot your flask.

Thanks, I'm off.

Be careful.

Even taking a flask.

You're not going the usual way.

Is that so?

You're in a good mood.

Well, sort of.

Aniki!

Well, that's the way things are.

Yuki, wait long?

Good morning

Morning

Visit us in #Japan-TV @irc.aniverse.net

It's alright. It's no different from being in a pool.

But, I'm still really nervous.

There's no need to worry. If anything happens I'm right here to help.

Really?

I'm your dive buddy aren't ? You should trust me.

I do.

Then let's go.

Ready?

Don't let go.

Let's go.

Ready... set...

What flavor would you like?

Strawberry

Strawberry it is.

Thanks.

How was it, your first dive in the sea today. Here.

Thanks.

It's just like you said. Really quiet and beautiful.

Glad you took the risk?

Then this summer we'll do lots of diving

Oh. Do you have plans for the summer? A trip or...

I overheard your conversation the other day, at the hospital lobby.

Going to America.

I had plans with some friends from Tandai to go for a graduation holiday

We never made it.

With that guy? The one whom you were talking with.

That guy is the son of the director of the hospital.

I was only discussing it with him. He's like an older brother.

Older brother?

Really?

Older brother? Ah, older brother. Oh I see.

Oh, older brother huh?

Aniki!

Sorry to interrupt.

I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat.

It's noon. Yeah, getting hungry.

made obento. It's warm today so I left it at the diving shop.

Umm...

That obento, you made it?

I made a special hamburger.

Special hamburger. Special hamburger. What kind wonder.

Special hamburger.

She likes you.

Well, yeah.

She made a special hamburger for me.

#Japan-TV@irc.aniverse.net

Oni-chan's got a girlfriend?

You're serious?

What's she like?

Really pretty and she seems really nice.

No way!

I can't believe it. That brother of yours and a pretty girl together.

Can't imagine it.

This is happiness. I'm happiest when I'm with you.

This guy?

This idiot?

What are the three of you whispering about?

hear she's called Yuki.

Seems like she's really pretty.

Jun's been talking I see.

Well, talking about pretty. More like her face is small, she's fair,

her eyes are like Bambie's...

You're boasting oni-chan.

Does it sound like that?

It does.

It does? It does.

Why don't you invite her home and introduce her to everyone?

How can I bring her here? The floor's tatami, tatami.

It's more fun taking her to a hotel alone right?

Idiot! We're not like that.

Ehhh?

We're not like that.

We're different from you, we've got plans.

Don't know what's with youngsters these days. The moment they go out,

they go from A to C instead of A B C. Love between a man and women...

Then you guys haven't done anything?

Aniki, is that so?

At the very least a kiss right?

Right.

You guys are annoying.

What we do is up to us.

Don't need you to tell me.

I'm going to bed. Clean up the barley tea

Anything's possible if it's oni-chan I guess.

Yeah, if it's Aniki.

I wonder if something's wrong with Natsuo-san.

Am I being too naive I wonder.

But I just...

No! I can't! I just can't!

What am I going to do?

I'm really stuck...

Oi! Yuki!

Open up! Oi!

Coming. Open up! Oi!

Open up! Oi!

Coming! Open up! Oi!

I went for a drink with Seiji, come on in.

Sorry.

I'm fine.

I'm just a little tipsy.

You're not fine. You can't even walk by yourself.

I heard from Seiji, why didn't you tell me?

We talked about the transplant in America.

They haven't decided if I'll be the one.

It's not possible to have a transplant overseas on a detective's meager salary.

But if you can go with the hospital, it'll be great. Right Seiji-kun?

Don't give Seiji-san a hard time, it still hasn't been decided yet

They haven't decided yet but I think it'd be great if they decided on you

That would be great!

Let's have another drink

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Seiji-kun, please take care of Yuki. Please.

Yes.

Please

I beg of you!

Why don't you get up?

It's ok. Please. Please ok? I beg of you!

You got two new customers, well done.

I was just lucky that a grandparent wanted to open accounts for his grandchildren.

Thanks to you going out everyday to look for new customers.

Unlike someone else.

Arimura-kun. Here, keep it up.

I will.

You've changed.

Have ?

Yes. You've become more cheerful. Something good happened?

That's a secret.

Hello?

Hello? It's me, Natsuo.

I was thinking it was lunch time...

Ah, I'm having lunch right now.

Who is it? A guy?

Excuse me.

You'll be going to the hospital for the volunteer session today, aren't you?

Not today!

I see, in that case...

Get back to work. Go.

Sure.

Hello? Sorry. Umm, tonight,

there might be an important guest coming over to the house.

Important guest?

A very important, special guest.

If that person comes, we'd have to prepare something.

That important guest is...

Well, that would be you.

Me?

Yes. Well, the guys over here want to meet you and keep asking me to bring you over.

But, if you don't feel like it, it's ok.

Well, Dad said that he'd be working late tonight.

Then, I'll come.

You'll come? You'll come? Great, you're coming!

Really? Yes. I understand. See you later.

Yes. Yes. Thank you. Yes.

What?

That's great, oni-chan!

So Yuki's coming

Well, since you were saying that you wanted to meet her,

I'm bringing her over tonight.

We'll make something delicious.

You know, that kind...

Jun-nichan, can you lay the table with those plates, together with the chopsticks.

Ok.

Hiroto, could you put the food on the table?

Got it.

How should be behave when we see Natsuo?

Just don't laugh at him I think it'll be ok.

Got it

Good evening.

They're here.

Excuse me...

There's no need to be formal. This place is small and messy.

This is where I work.

We renovated it last year so it's a little more organized now.

So this is where you work.

Yes, everyday.

Ahem.

I've brought her home.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Yuki.

This is for all of you.

Thank you very much.

I guess I should introduce everyone. This is my sister Chika-chan

Thanks for taking care of my brother.

It's nothing

Jun you've met.

Good evening.

And this guy in the blue shirt with the messy print is the freeloader.

Say my name please.

Suetsugu Hiroto-san. The one who got the new account?

Ah! So you're from the Shinyou Kinko...

Hey freeloader, make sure her shoes are turned back 180 degrees.

Natsuo-san.

Yuki-chan, come sit over here on this mat.

This is my favorite.

Natsuo-san, why are we having nabe on such a hot day?

When you meet new friends for the first time, eating from the same pot means that they become friends.

Aniki. We know.

Look who's talking big.

Chika, how long has the kelp been in the soup?

About 10 minutes.

You pressed the timer and then added it in?

Yes. I did.

Alright, sit down.

Um, let me do it.

Wait a bit. Um, let me do it.

It's done.

There's a secret to having nabe.

After 10 minutes and 30 seconds, you take out the kelp.

After that, you put in the chicken drumsticks.

After that it's the radish that's been boiled.

After that, ginger. Doing that brings the flavor out of the chicken

After that you add the shiitake, maitake, and enoki.

After that, the white cabbage and other vegetables.

Aniki's our nabe specialist.

Doesn't matter as long as it's edible.

HeyJust changing one little thing and the taste changes completely.

When you make nabe, you're an adult my dad used to say.

Didn't he Chika?

I see.

hope we haven't shocked you?

The shitake timing is difficult.

Yes, now.

Yes, yes. Now. The second step only I can do.

That's true, only you can do it.

Have more of the chicken, it's nutritious, have more.

Ok.

You can do it yourself.

Yuki-san, can ask you something?

What is it?

What do you see in oni-chan?

Hey!

It's ok. I want to know too.

What do you see in this guy who has no money and fixes bicycles?

Shut up!

Umm...

I guess he's kind.

Ehhhh?

see! Natsuo's nice to you!

And he's so fierce towards me!

You guys are really annoying.

You shouldn't drink so much...

But to say that he's nice, isn't he more like being nosey?

Aniki likes to bother other people. Didn't even have time for a girlfriend.

I do! I have plenty of girlfriends.

Plenty of girlfriends?

Ah, no, no...

He likes to act tough too.

Even though oni-chan's like this, please take care of him.

Me too. Please take care of him.

Me to, please look after him.

I will

Great! Great!

No, excuse me.

Aniki!

You're drinking too much.

He's sound asleep.

Just having two glasses of beer.

I'll do it.

It's the most important time for you now isn't it?

You've heard about the baby?

Yes, a little.

Thanks.

You're really brave Chika.

I didn't think I would be able to have this baby alone.

But my brothers said they'd help.

see.

The person I rely on most in this world is oni-chan.

Everything's cleaned up. It's time to go if you're going to catch the bus home.

I guess so.

I'm going.

send you home.

It's ok, I can go alone.

But it's late.

I'll see you off. I'll see you off.

They're really a nosey bunch don't you think?

No, it was fun.

Couldn't really take our time to enjoy the food.

I usually have meals with only my father, we! don't get a chance to eat with so many people.

Nabe's really more delicious when you eat with many people.

Is that so? Then come again. Definitely come again.

Ah, just a second.

It looks like we have a while yet.

Umm...

Here.

Eh.

You made the obento for us the other time. This is to say thank you.

Also to congratulate you on getting your diver's license.

Well done.

Thank you.

Can I open it?

Sure.

A pearl?

I was thinking that it would suit you best.

Like it?

Yes, very much.

Hey, did you know that pearls are the tears of mermaids?

The flowing tears of mermaids under the sea change into pearls.

I read that in a fairy tale when I was a kid.

Sounds rather romantic.

I'll take good care of it.

Hey.

Let's go diving again.

This time it'll just be the two of us.

Huh?

The bus is here.

Then, bye.

Bye.

Bye. Goodnight.

Yes. Goodnight.

Welcome.

It's really hot outside. Just walking a bit and I'm perspiring like crazy.

It must be the hottest day this summer.

How can I help you?

Is Suetsugu Hiroto around?

We haven't introduced ourselves.

I'm Katase from the Shinami Chuou Police Station, Juvenile Department. This is Detective Morimoto.

Detectives?

There hasn't been any cases recently regarding those thefts using the bikes.

The youngsters know that we're watching out for them I suppose.

So Hiroto is involved with them after all?

We're thinking that he might be part of the group but we just don't have any proof.

I think he'll spit everything out if we get a hold of him.

But I don't really want to do that.

It's the summer holidays right now and visiting each of the group individually, we can't do that.

That's true. Thanks for your hard work.

It's part of the job.

I'm back.

He's back, he's back.

Hiroto, come here.

Come over here.

It's such a hot day and the detectives took the trouble to come pay you a visit.

It's not like I want them to come.

Hiroto! It's not like I want them to come.

I heard from your mother that you left home.

You had a fight with your father? What did you fight about?

Why do I have to tell you detectives my private life?

Do you know the position you're in right now? You're still under suspicion you know!

Alright, alright.

Hiroto. Anyway, just come sit over here.

Sorry.

Hiroto's been helping me out at the store during the summer holidays.

And also doing all the deliveries for me.

You're working hard aren't you.

Even the detective is praising you.

So what? These people would never believe what I say anyway.

With an attitude like that you'd never get anyone to believe you.

Forget it. You yourself don't even believe me.

You idiot! That's pathetic!

You have to tell other people what you think and what you're thinking about!

If you go out into society like that how will you be accepted?

You have to change! For Chika's sake too!

If you're going to be independent, then you'll have to face up to people.

Tell them what you think and get them to understand you!

That's what being a person is about. Isn't that right detective?

Yes... would you like to tell us about it? We'll listen.

I... I... thought about lots of things before leaving home.

Although my father wants me to go to college, I hate studying.

Working here and being looked after all this time, I feel like it's better to get a job and work.

That's why I'm thinking of quitting school and working instead.

He looked very obedient. I wonder if people can change that easily.

Rather than changing, maybe he's an obedient kid in the first place.

Yes, Saint Shogo.

I think he'll be alright.

You believe him?

Yes. With that trustworthy older brother looking out for him, I don't think we need to worry anymore.

Hello? Ah, Seiji-kun.

Yes. Yes. Eh? Really?

Eh? Still not back yet?

Information with regards to the next term's diving session?

I'm back. You're home early. Have you had dinner?

I was thinking of having it with you.

Ah, start on it right away.

It's rare for you to be home so early.

I wanted to let you know as soon as possible.

Hm?

I got a call from Seiji-kun today.

They've decided that you'll be getting the transplant.

Me?

It looks like they'll make their decision formally next week. I've never been this happy.

I've always been prepared that if anything happened to you,

There was nothing I could do.

I'm grateful that my daughter could live this long.

Dad?

What's this?

Going out every Sunday, were you taking diving lessons?

I'm sorry. But I'm really careful.

As soon as I don't feel well, I stop.

That's not the problem!

Diving is dangerous.

If something happens when you're in the water, what are you going to do? Doesn't it matter if you die?

Dad...

You're not like everyone else!

You know that!

Why did you do such a reckless thing like this?

Don't ever do this again, you hear?

Go get changed, start on dinner.

I won't quit.

continue diving.

What I've just said, didn't you understand any of it?

I'm not going to quit! If anything happens to you...

I'm sorry. But I'm just worried about you!

If anything happens to you!

I know! If anything happens to you!

know!

understand.

I know that no one else worries about me more than you do.

That's why I've just put up with it all my life.

During all the swimming lessons at school, I'd just stand by the side watching.

On sport days, I've never even joined my friends once.

I was always alone sitting at the stands, cheering everyone else.

But that can't be helped. You're not well.

Even then I wanted to be like everyone else!

To swim, to run as fast as I can...

I've suppressed those feelings all my life.

Because I never wanted to worry you.

Just this once, I'd like you to let me do as I wish.

No.

I won't allow you to do anything reckless!

You remember don't you? When you were in the 3rd year at junior high.

You had an attack. In the ambulance, thought you wouldn't make it.

Just thinking about it now, my hands shake. You remember the fear don't you?

I'm not afraid

When I'm diving in the sea, I don't feel the least bit afraid.

Because there's someone beside me all the time.

When I'm with him, I forget that I'm sick.

I feel like I can go on living. This is the first time I've ever felt it.

Yuki.

Dad.

I've found someone I love.

I want to go diving with him.

When I'm with him, I'm not afraid.

Hey, what do you think of this?

I don't really know much about that.

This is a regulator, a beginner's.

But for you, I think this might be better.

Excuse me!

The scuba gear can be tried on right?

Yes, over here please.

Regulator's decided, next the gauge.

You're wearing it.

Ever since you gave it to me.

see

Does it look ok?

Yes. Well, that's to say, like a mermaid princess.

Right?

Better if you breath slowly.

Breath properly?

Shall we go further out this Sunday?

There's a good spot south of Izu.

There's fantastic coral reefs there it seems.

What's wrong?

Hey Yuki!

Yuki!

Forget the change!

Doctor!

How's my daughter?

She's fine now.

It wasn't anything serious so she'll be able to leave shortly.

see.

Unfortunately, it appears that her condition's worsened.

It's getting worse?

Shogo-san!

Luckily it wasn't anything too seriousRight now she's on an intravenous drip in one of the rooms.

Where did she collapse?

Apparently, in a diving store.

Was she alone?

Natsuo-kun.

This is Yuki's father.

I'm really sorry.

What were you trying to do? Kill my daughter? Kill her?

Calm down Shogo-san!

You.

Yesterday the...?

You know each other?

Well, sort of.

You're the one that Yuki mentioned?

Seiji-san.

Are you alright?

You went diving?

Your father got a shock when he heard. Me too.

I'm sorry.

Together with him? The guy you brought here.

Who is he?

Someone I've been seeing for a while.

Oh... I didn't know anything about it. So you have someone.

Does he understand your illness?

It can't just be any guy that you go out with, Yuki.

The first time she came to this hospital was just before she entered grade school.

I thought it was a little cold.

But then, from an examination, we found out about the irregularities of her heart.

The first time she had an attack was the spring in the third year of junior high.

Her heart had enlarged and since then, she's been under medication.

I'm sorry.

It's ok, you didn't know.

But that you're Yuki's friend, you're called Natsuo?

Yes.

I heard about you from Yuki.

It was the first time that my daughter spoke so seriously about her feelings.

But as a father, I won't allow her to do anything reckless.

I want her to go on living.

Is it really, that bad?

Whenever there's an attack, her condition gradually worsens.

No one knows when.

I know this is selfish of me.

But, will you please not see my daughter anymore?

Eh?

You know her condition.

If you ask her out diving again, she'll go for sure.

I'll be careful from now on. I'll really think about her condition from now on.

Natsuo, as long as you're by her side, she'll attempt more than she can handle.

Because she wants to go out with you like any other normal person.

That's why please, don't see my daughter anymore. Please.

Please don't do that.

No, until you agree, I won't. Please!

Dad.

Even if this is selfish of me.

Please, I'm begging you!

Welcome back. You're back late. Have you had dinner?

Must have eaten with Yuki already.

Eating out...

Oni-chan, what's wrong?

Looks like he just returned from a funeral or something.

Shut up! Don't say that!

What's wrong with him?

Hey, don't you go losing heart, baby

There's nothing to worry about

Just keep going, as strong as always. Get it on

Yesterday, I was a mess

And you were just striking out

But we had searched for that huge, Oh! Summer time

Yo! Let's taste the summer, beneath the sun...

Smile! More, more!

Yo! Yesterday's mistakes and tomorrows blunders

Scrounge and fuss over them

YoLet's be reborn beneath the sun

Let summer come! More, more!

Yo! Let's take our messed up problems

And kiss them bye-bye to the blue sky

It's alright, the world's

still spinningOh my shine

Because you'll give me tomorrow

YE
