RAPID INCREASE IN FOREIGN TOURISTS IN JAPAN!

Foreign tourists have it so good, living in luxury.

We Japanese

Okay, 5:00 p.m. is available.

Please excuse me for a moment.

Did we have an appointment for Ms. Yamada today?

What?

Ms. Yamada?

Did you double-book?

She's here right now,

but the doctor is performing a procedure on another patient.

What?

Excuse me.

I'm very sorry. I will go check on this right away.

Hello, this is Lachulia Beauty Clinic.

RAPID INCREASE IN FOREIGN TOURISTS IN JAPAN!

It's the same thing, every day,

constant appointment changes and last-minute cancellations.

I feel like I'm going crazy!

Midori! Change the channel.

Our clinic is on.

The case of

Dr. Mieko Matsukawa, the director of Lachulia Beauty Clinic in Shinjuku,

has been sent to prosecutors.

-What? -According to the police…

The director?

What? Why?

…provided cosmetic treatments

by using unapproved drugs and surgical methods on patients.

An order to suspend operations…

An order to suspend operations?

Wait, what's going to happen to our clinic?

Several clients have spoken out on social media

about receiving surgery…

Konta?

KONTA

Hello?

Hey, Midori. I'm about to shoot a drama.

This is my dressing room!

Hey, Konta, things are bad.

The clinic I work at might go under.

I might end up unemployed.

Whoa, that's great news, Midori!

You've been saying you want to quit your job forever!

Well, that's true, but…

Oh, Konta.

Oh, Mr. Jin, hello!

JIN ICHIJO

So? Are you in this drama?

Any lines?

I'm just a background patient today.

Oh, you're an extra?

-Hang in there. -Thank you.

I look forward to working with you!

Thanks.

Thank you.

JIN ICHIJO

KONTA HOSHINO

Sorry about that.

Mr. Jin, the lead actor, just came by, so we were discussing work.

So then, doesn't that mean you can take a break for a while?

Well, instead of a while, it might be forever.

Then you can go you know where.

Grandma's villa!

Oh…

You're right.

THREE DAYS LATER

All right! Cleaning supplies, check!

Change of clothes, check! Toilet paper, check!

Towels, check!

Meat, check! Snacks, check! Alcohol, check!

Shall we go then?

On our…

Vacation!

What? Yeah, it's this way.

This feels great.

This is too much walking!

-It's a seagull! -A seagull!

Oh, someone is fishing!

Are you catching anything?

Hey, stop it, that's embarrassing.

What are you doing?

The villa is that way. Let's go.

Oh, wait! It says "Villa Grounds"!

You're right! Then it's this way.

Yeah.

Whoa.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey.

Chainsaw Woman?

What's that?

A woman who is a Chainsaw Man, therefore Chainsaw Woman?

So that's a Chainsaw Woman?

-Are you a Chainsaw Woman? -Be quiet!

This is tough! So tough!

Hey, what are you doing?

Konta, look! The ocean!

Wow, it's so close!

-It's a slope, it's dangerous! -Watch out!

Konta, be careful!

You got it?

-I got it open. -I'll take it.

-We made it! -Awesome!

Are you catching anything?

He can't hear you.

Let's take a picture.

Yeah, let's do it!

Okay, here we go.

-Okay! -Say cheese!

Yay!

All right.

-Wow, awesome! -It's huge!

The kitchen is amazing too!

-What? -The sofa is giant!

So fluffy!

This is insane!

To think this view is all ours.

That's right, it belongs to us, brother and sister!

Forward roll on the sofa!

I heard that after Grandma divorced Grandpa,

she became estranged from our Hoshino family,

but she remarried a really wealthy man and built this villa.

Grandma was amazing!

That's right.

And since Grandma passed away,

the relatives on that side haven't been using it lately,

so we get to use it!

Yay!

Hey! Look at that.

Look!

It's really something.

-Let's go? -Yes.

Come on!

All right!

-Wow! -The yard is huge!

Okay, there we go!

All done.

-Amazing! -It's surprisingly steep!

-Wait up! -Be careful!

-Come on! -It's surprisingly steep! Watch out!

Konta, summer oranges!

Awesome!

I wonder if Grandma liked summer oranges.

Wow, there are so many.

Grandma…

If we sold all of these, how much would we earn?

Konta!

I was just praying to Grandma in heaven!

That's right.

We don't have a Buddhist altar here, but I should pray.

Thank you, Grandma, for leaving us such a wonderful villa.

We will take good care of it, Grandma.

Well, want to try one?

-All right. -Let's!

They're really big. How about that one?

-Should I grab it? -Yes!

So sour! What is this?

I know. When I cut it open, it was so sour, I couldn't eat it.

We can't sell these. They're as sour as lemons.

We can use them as a substitute for lemons.

For cooking or making sour drinks.

And this leftover thick peel…

can be used for cleaning!

You're so impressive, Midori!

You're good at cleaning and cooking,

and your face is cute like mine, so why don't you have a boyfriend?

You don't have a girlfriend either.

Well, that's true.

To think we would end up spending a vacation together

at such a wonderful seaside villa.

It's not really a vacation for you… Aren't you unemployed?

What?

Stop putting it so unromantically!

My bad, sorry.

Since no one had been here for a while,

I thought it would be more overgrown, but it's actually pretty well-maintained.

All right…

Hello.

H-Hello.

Who are you?

I'm the granddaughter of the owner of this villa.

You can call me Hoshino.

This is the villa of my late grandmother, Nobuko.

Oh, Ms. Nobuko.

Because this villa is near the ocean, the wind…

can be very strong at times.

Oh.

Got it.

Look, here it is again.

S-So handsome.

Midori! I found a drone beetle!

Vroom! A drone beetle…

Wow, a handsome guy.

Nice to meet you.

I manage these villa grounds.

I'm the caretaker, Nishigami.

Oh, the caretaker.

I see.

So there's someone like that here. That's convenient.

We haven't been here since we were kids, so we have no idea how things work.

Oh, this is my brother.

My older brother, Konta.

I'm Konta.

Mr. Konta.

And you are?

Well, I'm Midori.

My name is Midori Hoshino.

Ms. Midori.

Yes.

Are you planning to spend your time off at this villa?

Yes. They said on TV that Japanese people aren't good

at taking vacations.

-They did say that. -Yeah.

So we thought we would try taking one of those things called a vacation.

That's right.

Yes.

A vacation…

Midori Hoshino.

Konta Hoshino.

Did you call for me?

I am the Grim Reaper in charge of Tatsumi Town.

Is there anything to report from the Shiokaze district of Tatsumi Town?

No. Nothing in particular.

Those villa grounds are under your jurisdiction.

You do know that in one month,

a landslide caused by a massive typhoon will kill all the residents, correct?

Yes.

Konta! Summer orange juice! Try it!

-What? You made it into juice? -Yes!

Thanks, Midori.

-You're welcome. -Down the hatch.

So sour!

Gross!

-It's sour! What is this? -You fell for it!

Hey, Midori!

Midori, wait up!

Watch out!

-Stay back! -Here it comes, bam!

-Here I go! -Come at me!

Are you or are you not?

No!

Hey, this area is mine!

-My area! -Stop!

This is mine!

Yes?

-We came. -We came.

Wow! What is this place? It's absolutely amazing!

This is my friend, Tetsuro.

A barbecue needs a man's strength!

Huh?

More people are here.

Who is this handsome guy?

This is Mr. Nishigami, who takes care of the villas around here.

Vacations are the best!

The best!

Let's all spend this summer here together!

Until the moment the flame of their lives goes out,

I will watch over them closely.
