This is really delicious!

It's the same as always.

The herring is exceptionally good today.

Did you know that there's this DHA in here, it's good for the brain.

Said so on TV the other day.

Ah, seconds please.

Again?

That's three bowls!

Like he's trying to drown his sorrows in food or something.

Dad used to say so didn't he?

Getting up early is a virtue, so is breakfast.

Thanks Chika-chan.

Ah, you should eat more too. You've got to eat for the baby too.

And Jun-kun, you've got to study for exams so eat more to get more nutrition.

Ah, and you freeloader, don't worry and eat more too.

Working in the summer this summer, you're an important part of this family too.

I'm done. Got to work hard today too.

I'll go open the store now.

Ah! The weather's great today!

Isn't oni-chan acting a little strange?

He's not the same as usual.

He was even nice to me.

The sun's really brilliant. Makes one's eyes smart.

Sorry I had to take some time off suddenly.

It's ok. But you were in the hospital?

Was it that serious?

A little, but I'm ok now.

Katase-san.

Another lecture.

You don't have to go out soliciting for new accounts this afternoon.

You're not well.

I'm sorry to have caused you trouble.

But I'm used to it already, please let me do it.

I'm feeling alright now.

Alright, but don't overdo it.

When you're not around, my workload increases.

I understand.

Go ahead and start.

I'm hungry so I will.

Be careful, it's a new bike.

Go answer the phone, I'll do this.

This is Shinoda Cycle. Ah, Yuki-san?

I'm working right now, it's really hot over here.

Natsuo's here, I'll pass you to him.

No, no. What do you mean?

Tell her I'm not here.

Why?

It's ok. Hurry

He's not here.

Oh. Then call back later.

Sorry.

Why didn't you take the call? It's from Yuki-san.

Many reasons.

What reasons?

Never mind, go get the new bike ready.

Oni-chan, the loan repayment is due today.

Going to the bank to see Yuki-san? Here's this month's installment.

You go.

Why? You're the one that does it every month.

Well, umm... I'm really busy today, really busy today.

I'm so busy, I don't know if I'm coming or going.

Thank you for this month's repayment.

Thank you.

Thanks for the other day.

It's nothing. Come over anytime.

Thank you.

Did Natsuo-san say anything?

haven't been able to get in touch with him the last couple of days.

It's just as I suspected. Oni-chan's been rather strange.

We were wondering if something happened. Did you have a fight or something?

You did?

No, it's not that.

Sorry to worry all of you.

#Japan-TV @irc.aniverse.net

What happened between them I wonder.

Maybe Natsuo's been dumped.

But I think Yuki-san really likes Aniki.

I know. Maybe Natsuo-san suddenly forced a kiss on her.

No such thing.

I'm home!

Oni-chan! I'm home!

I'm done with the deliveries. Hard day today.

Thanks for the work.

I'm pooped! I worked so hard today. Where's Jun?

Welcome home! I was in the garden watering the plants.

Oh I see.

Ah, chilled tofu looks great.

Well, because the weather's been really hot.

This is eggplant. This is good too, Chika-chan.

Eggplant's cheap that's why.

Chilled tofu and eggplant. That's really something Chika-chan.

Chika-chan?

Chika-chan. Chika-chan.

Did you go?

Where to?

Um... that building in front of the station, the one next to the furniture shop next to the convenience store.

Ah, that restaurant?

You skipped one, there's one here.

Ah, Shinyou Kinkou. I did.

So how was it? Any change?

What?

What? Shinyou Kinkou of course. Banks are collapsing these days.

Ah, that bank's fine.

Oh, that's good.

was just wondering that's all.

If you're wondering about Yuki-san, she's fine.

I was only wondering about the branch manager.

Oni-chan, what happened between you and Yuki-san?

Time for a bath.

Oni-chan.

I want a bath...

Oni-chan! I want a bath...

So he's worried about Yuki-san after all.

So it was his fault after all.

haven't heated up the bath!

Oni-chan! I haven't heated up the bath!

Hm? What's wrong?

The water.

Water? Ah. The water. I was wondering why the water was cold.

Then, could you heat it up for me Chika-chan?

So how's work?

It's ok.

I see. You should have stayed longer in the hospital.

It's better if you get a thorough checkup.

It'll be hard on the others at work if I take too many days off.

That's true. But you're...

I'm finished.

Diving in the sea is dangerous. Don't do it again.

Thank you very much.

Natsuo-san!

Natsuo-san!

He's got a cold?

Yes. So until he's recovered from his cold, he won't be able to volunteer at the hospital.

I understand. Tell him to take care.

Yes. Thank you, bye.

To think that Natsuo-san's ill in bed.

Yes, what's that saying? Something that rarely happens, happens.

Umm... Even... Even the...

Idiot, not that. Ah... Even the hardest heart will sometimes be moved to pity.

Idiot, not that. Ah...

The devil succumbing to sunstroke.

Yes, yes. That's it.

Sunstroke?

But I wonder if that's saying it too refined. Sunstroke?

But I wonder if that's saying it too refined.

It's fine. I'll take it to him.

Sunstroke?

Yes, sunstroke. Sunstroke?

Yes, sunstroke.

Aniki, how are you feeling?

Feeling restless.

Egg and sake.

Thanks.

Aniki.

Hm? What?

Is there something you're hiding from us?

You're always saying that we shouldn't hide anything between us.

Don't talk so loud. My head's pounding.

Sorry. But to think that you're ill in bed.

That happens too. I'm only human.

Something happened between you and Yuki-san, am I right?

Please leave that alone.

All I want to do right now is sleep.

Yukari-chan!

Ah. Yuki-chan.

Where are you going?

Thank goodness you noticed her.

I just happened to be coming in.

Talk to her about it later?

Oba-sensei is calling for you.

I almost forgot. Natsuo-kun isn't coming today. Seems he's caught a cold.

Yuki-chan!

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

That's good.

We've just finished discussing about the trip to America.

Yuki-chan, do you have a passport?

I guess it's better if you get one. You'll need it soon.

Thanks for sending me home.

Don't mention it.

Your surgery in America will be a success.

I decided to specialize in cardiology just for that reason.

To cure your illness.

Seiji-san.

I guess that's saying it a little strong but then again I have to say it.

I've got a strong rival.

Rival?

I was really jealous when I heard you went diving with him.

Have you seen him since then?

No.

That was the first time he heard about your illness?

Yes. I kept it a secret from him that's why.

Maybe to him it's a burden.

A burden?

Going out with you.

Hello.

Welcome.

I came to see Natsuo.

Please wait a minute. Chika-chan! She's here!

Wait, wait.

What are you doing? Yuki-san's waiting!

I know. I know.

Hurry up!

I know! I know!

Hi.

Are you alright?

Yes, it wasn't serious.

I got calls from Jun-kun and Chika-chan last night.

Eh? Those...

You called her too Jun-nichan?

Yes, you called too?

You two are really busybodies.

You look fine now so I don't have to worry.

Yeah, well...

Here. Yuki-san brought these.

Thank you.

Have the fruit.

It's been warm hasn't it? I guess it's usual because it's summer. I'll turn on the fan.

It's alright.

I'm sorry, not telling you about my illness.

I know I had to tell you but,

I wanted to go diving with you.

Because we made a promise.

You made a promise but, if anything had happened, it would be too late.

I'm sorry.

should have realized it sooner. I knew that you had stayed in the hospital when you were young.

So, is it really bad?

I might be going to America for surgery.

So you weren't planning on going for a holiday with your friends.

That's what you said before.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

Well, I guess if it's lies all the time it means we're not really seeing each other.

Can't trust the other person.

I... I hate people who lie.

So...

I think it's better if we not see each other anymore.

I can't accept the responsibility.

I'm sorry.

Making you remember painful times.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for telling you lies.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

I'm sorry.

Oni-chan, why did you say that?

I've misjudged you Natsuo-san!

Yuki-san was crying!

Oni-chan!

She's ill.

So what if she's ill? What's that got to do with it?

don't want us to get involved with her!

She collapsed in front of me the other day.

Yuki's father pleaded with me. He wanted me to not see his daughter anymore.

He bowed to me over and over again.

If she's with me she'll force herself to keep up with me.

With her condition, when she shouldn't be allowed to go diving, she went diving with me.

If she does that again, she might die.

Oni-chan.

As long as she's with me, her illness will get worse.

That's why this is the best

This is for the best

What a racket!

Yukari-chan! What are you doing here?

I ran out

Yes. I'll bring her back right away. Yes, thank you.

Let's go back to the hospital shall we?

You're really something, sneaking out of the hospital.

The nurses are mad.

Yukari-chan, where were you thinking of going to?

There's someplace you want to go?

My old home.

Your old home?

The home where papa, mama, and I lived.

I wanted to see papa.

I had a dream about him the other day.

I wanted to see him a little longer but I woke up.

So you wanted to go see him?

Yes, I'd like him to come see me.

Alright. Then go talk to him for you!

Really?

Yes.

I have to pee.

I was just about to call the police.

Don't scold her.

Seems she wanted to see her father.

Her father?

Yes. Her parents are divorced?

When Yukari-chan was three.

You know her father's address don't you? I'd like to go see him

and tell him about Yukari-chan wanting to see him.

But...

I'm sure he'll understand once I talk to him so, please.

Alright, I'll give her mother a call.

Thank you very much.

Yukari-chan, is that papa?

Yes. It's a letter to papa.

Alright. Then I'll bring it with me when I go see him ok?

Yukari-chan's mother didn't object to Yukari-chan

meeting with her ex-husband and gave us his address.

That's great.

Yukari-chan will be really happy if she gets to see her father.

It'll be good for her.

Natsuo-kun's really doing this as if it were for himself.

He's a really good person. Considerate too.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Looks like made it in time today.

We've started on dinner. Would you like a beer?

Great, thanks.

We were just talking about Natsuo. You know him don't you?

He's a good kid. Rare to find someone like him nowadays.

Yes.

That's great, looks like your Dad likes him too.

Have you seen him?

Yuki, I don't think it's a good idea for you to see him.

I've told him that too.

But you just said he's a good kid.

But now is a critical time for Yuki.

She's about to go to America for her surgery.

If she collapses again, what's going to happen? If she's healthy again she can do anything she wants, but until then.

But Natsuo didn't know about Yuki's condition when that happened.

I'm sure he'll be very careful from now on.

I'm not against them seeing each other.

Just that Yuki will force herself to keep up with him.

But!

It doesn't matter.

I don't think we'll see each other again.

just do as you say Dad and think about the surgery.

Well, I'm going to go shopping.

Thanks.

So, what did you want to speak about regarding Yukari?

You know that Yukari's in the hospital.

Yes. I heard about it from my ex-wife.

Yukari tried to sneak out of the hospital.

What?

Apparently she wanted to see you. She thinks that you're staying at your old home.

Is that so.

If it's all right, will you come see her at the hospital?

I think Yukari will be thrilled.

Is that all you wanted to say?

I won't go see Yukari.

Right now I have my family here.

But Yukari really wanted to see you.

This is a letter from Yukari.

It's okay just to read it right?

I have no intention of reading it.

It's a bother more than anything else.

There's no need to speak like that.

Your own daughter's in the hospital wanting to see you.

All she wants is to meet you

and get a hug from you.

That's why she's trying so hard to get well.

What's wrong with just meeting her and wishing her well?

It's too hard.

Who knows how many years she has left...

How many months perhaps...

I'm supposed to look at my daughter like that and say what?

Just seeing Yukari's smile again, it'll only get more painful.

Please leave.

I have no intention of seeing Yukari again.

Hey.

How come I'm ill?

How come?

It's God's decision.

God is mean.

But Yukari, God's watching over you.

Watching how hard you're fighting to get well.

Then if I ask, will God make me better?

ask together with you.

That Yukari gets better soon.

I heard that it's been decided that Katase's going to America for the surgery.

It's Seiji-san's recommendation.

I thought it would have been Yukari-chan.

Me too. Yukari's condition is a lot more critical too. Her relapses occur more often too.

Well maybe they think they have a higher chance of success with Katase. It's the first time for the hospital as well.

But poor Yukari-chan.

Ah, oni-chan!

Where's papa?

What's wrong?

It looks like papa has moved, there was no one at home.

Then maybe he's at the new house.

It looks like he's gone far far away.

Far far away?

Have to go by airplane?

Yeah, I guess.

Oh.

Yukari-chan, I'm really sorry. I said that I'd let you meet your father but...

It's ok. In any case, when people die, wings grow on their backs don't they?

When I die, fly into the sky and look for papa's new house.

Don't talk about dying. You're definitely going to get well.

I'm praying to God right now.

Yuki-chan also said that she'd help me pray to God too.

Is that so. Well, I'll pray to God for you too.

Welcome.

want to speak to you, are you free now?

What's that? Just walking in here like that. The least you could do is say who you are.

I'm Tachibana Seiji. My father is Katase Yuki's doctor.

I'm also a doctor.

So what if you're a doctor.

Forget it.

But..

It's ok. Go inside. But..

It's ok. Go inside.

Did something happen to Yuki?

Yuki's decided not to go for the surgery in America.

What?

She was crying. All of a sudden saying

she wanted us to take Yukari-chan instead.

Yukari-chan?

know Yukari-chan's condition very well.

But the next time anything happens to Yuki it'll be critical.

It's all your fault isn't it.

Since you appeared, she's changed.

She used to care about her father's concerns about her health.

She wouldn't have turned down the surgery.

If anything happens to Yuki, what do you intend to do?

Thanks for the work.

Thank you for the work.

Waiting for the bus? It should arrive soon. Another 5 minutes.

But it might be late, it's never on time.

You're looking well.

Makes you feel better?

I've heard about it. That you're letting Yukari go for the surgery instead.

Is that really ok with you?

I'm fine. I know my own body well enough.

Yukari-chan's praying to God with all her might to get better.

And then to go see her father.

Once you get better, there are a lot of things you want to do too, don't you?

Lots. Had so many things that it was uncountable.

Had?

Even if it was only once, I wanted to go divingThat's why it's ok.

That's why it's ok.

I went to see Yukari-chan's father the other day.

He said that once he thought about what could happen, he felt tormented.

If he met Yukari and saw her smile, it would be really painful.

That's why he can't bring himself to see her.

I understand his feelings.

Because I feel the same way.

I finally understand. The one that suffers most

isn't the ones around that person, it's that person himself.

can't bring myself

to see you suffer alone!

That's why ...

Thank you for worrying

But I don't want your sympathy.

I'm really fine. There's no need to worry.

Stop the bus! Sorry, please stop the bus!

Why?

It's not that I feel pity for you.

I just want to be with you.

Yukari-chan. Do your best.

I'll be waiting for you to get well and.come back.

This is for when you're bored in the plane.

Thank you.

The both of you came to see us off.

Yes. We'll pray that Yukari's surgery will be successful.

Leave that to me.

But while I'm gone take care of Yuki.

Don't let her do anything reckless.

I won't

I'll tell her my feelings when I get back.

Eh?

I'll tell you something now.

In the end, the person that she'll need is me, a doctor.

Not you

Let's go.

Good luck.

Yukari-chan!

We'll see each other again! We'll see each other again!

We'll see each other again.

Chika! Yuki! Hurry and come sit down.

Sit down.

Today we're having chanko-nabe. First, we take some of the soup stock and then add the akamiso.

Mixing it, we then add the shiromiso.

Where's the shiromiso?

Hiroto's gone out to buy some right now.

What? I've been saying since last night that we were going to have chanko-nabe.

Should have bought everything already!

It's hot. We're not a sumo stable. On such a hot day like this why are we having this?

Right Yuki?

But I heard that when one eats hot food on hot days, it feels cooler.

You're right Yuki.

But then it is hot, let's throw it out.

No!

I was kidding.

Thank you.

Really bothersome.

Long time no see, Hiroto.

Everyone's been saying that we haven't seen you in a while.

I've been a little busy lately.

Being serious now means you're really busy huh?

Sorry, I have to get going.

Shut up. We're friends aren't we?

We're accomplices you know.

Here comes the old lady!

You've got the rice ready don't you?

I'm home.

What took you so long? Did you get the shiromiso?

Here.

Our nabe is based on mixing the miso's together,

without the shiromiso we can't make it.

Sorry.

Did something happen?

Yuki!

Come sit down.

Ok, teach me.

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

Yo! Let'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 spinning, Oh my shine

Because you'll give me tomorrow
