"August 13, 2007 Stair-step moss"

"Steep Slope Failure Hazard Area No Entry"

We intend to compensate you.

We'll be waiting for your reply.

Mr. Obinata.

"Obinata Fireworks"

We've received replies from all your employees.

Hello, I'm going upstairs.

Okay, study hard.

You shouldn't be drinking during the day.

The leasehold has been an issue for ages now, Mr. Obinata.

Do you really think fireworks can save us?

Show some respect and at least hear them out.

I thought you cared about the forest and intangible culture.

- Not again... - All you care about is money.

My parents are on your dad's case again.

Everyone's against Mr. Obinata.

This town will be gone soon after we graduate, so you better run now.

Your dad doesn't like me anyway.

Do I really have to leave this town?

We're in for the fatal blow...

Gentrification.

No place for the Obinatas.

It's not decided yet, right?

What about you, Chicchi?

You know my plans.

Keitaro's not gonna forgive you if he hears about your new job.

My stupid little brother makes my life hard.

Didn't you want to do archeology or something in Tokyo?

Why not tell your dad about that?

I need to shape up the stupid brother before that.

They're leaving.

Don't scare me.

Seems the whole team was bribed.

Whoa!

I found a secret weapon.

Isn't this your dad's drawing?

He's still planning to set it off?

A drawing? Looks like some secret code to me.

No firework can overturn the administration's decision now.

City officials know he's just trying to stall.

Keitaro, what are you gonna do if this place really goes?

Idiot.

It's been downhill ever since

wishy-washy Dad took over Mom's family business.

You guys may still have some hope but

the 330 year old Obinata Fireworks Company, descendants of pirates, will end this year.

Hey Kaoru, just leave it.

Oh, c'mon.

You and Keitaro both have to calm down.

Where did Keitaro go?

We'll never have a major road if we give up now.

- Any lunch requests? - Soba noodles.

They're setting my parents up with new jobs.

Hey, what are you doing?

Watch out, sir.

What was that? What happened?

Are you okay, sir?

It came from above.

It's him again.

Not again...

Damn...

Keitaro! That's enough!

That hurt.

What's going on?

- That's enough, you brat! -Mr. Obinata...

You can all leave now.

- We should go. - Um, okay.

Why did you stop me?

- Let's go. - Time for lunch.

Let's go get soba noodles.

Shuhari, Mr. Obinata. You're not setting off Shuhari?

Don't mention that name.

That kid, he once...

Shuhari is ready, isn't it?

We'll be waiting for your reply, Mr. Obinata.

Please hold on a bit...

After lunch, we need to prepare the Q&A for...

- You fool. - Mr. Obinata.

You know the design Mom discovered, right?

Set it off, Mr. Obinata.

Shuhari will fascinate the people and this place will be saved.

"Obinata Fireworks - Creating a Cosmos"

At the next festival.

No more Firework Festival.

- No way. - It's true.

Please say something, Mr. Obinata.

Save water.

Mr. Obinata...

You idiot, are you okay?

Wait, why do you have that?

"Mr. Sentaro Obinata Interview Results"

I was wondering when it's gonna come.

Just forget about the fireworks.

How can we?

You betrayer, damn you!

"Mr. Sentaro Obinata Result of First Interview"

Not this part.

Stop! Don't eat it!

Dad's stupid but so are you guys.

We can still negotiate better terms.

Hey.

Disgusting.

Shame on you.

Shuhari is just an excuse to buy time.

Kaoru, if you're already 18, get a license and help me out.

Stop fighting before you make matters worse.

Where's your pride, bro?

Shut up, you helpless baby!

The factory workers gradually drifted away.

Mr. Obinata left as well.

I left Niura City as soon as I graduated.

The tropical cyclone that formed over the Philippine Sea is

moving north along the pressure trough

on the east side of Okinawa Prefecture at the speed of 60 kilometers an hour.

"Projection mapping at Seiren Fest. on Sept. 13"

This tropical cyclone is expected to approach the main island tomorrow evening.

As weather is expected to worsen, please pay attention to updates.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Presentation today again?

Hi everyone, good luck at the Seiren Festival.

Don't embarrass the Festival Committee ex-Chairperson, me.

I spent hours negotiating...

Isn't Kaoru too adamant about getting grants and projects?

She seems so desperate.

Why does she always get her way?

"Townscape Imagination Through Projection Mapping"

This collaboration is so lame.

How can she be so cocky with only 1000 followers?

I can hear you guys, let's go.

So, which local government?

Shibuya? Setagaya?

Hey.

Um, somewhere in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Hey, long time no see.

Niura City?

Yes, that's the one.

I always knew you were the sneaky type.

"Niura City Promotion Dept."

Our city's in trouble.

Our?

With the Firework Festival gone...

You want to replace it with a projection mapping show?

"Kaoru Shikimori Weaving lights and images"

You look desperate for work.

I can ask the city to host an event.

Your social media account seems quite exaggerated.

Huh?

Kaoru, you've made it in Tokyo, help me out for old times' sake.

The people of Niura know what we've done.

It's all in the past and it'll be for one day only.

I abandoned my hometown.

Wait, Kaoru!

Get out of my way, you brainwashed creeps!

Please, Kaoru.

Bad food, small spaces, expensive, too many people walking...

Big city people are stupid.

Gimme a break. Where are we heading?

To the industry-academia collaboration event.

Being held tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yeah.

Administrative subrogation on the Obinata property.

Administrative subrogation? What's that?

Next page.

Land Expropriation Act? What's that?

In simple terms, the house will be demolished tomorrow.

Wait, what?

It was so tough after Dad disappeared.

I left the house three years ago, now it's only Keitaro.

Since then, Keitaro has never left the house.

No one comes by anymore. Both our parents are so cold.

Are you in touch?

Of course not.

Violation of Explosives Control Law, Building Standards Act, Landscape Act...

tax delinquency, et cetera.

After all, it's a lease...

I don't wanna hear about those things.

I have a feeling Keitaro won't leave quietly.

50 people are coming to evict him. He doesn't stand a chance.

You sound like a city official.

I am one.

The pirates lose again.

There's no time for an event...

Wait, the event is that?

Yes, the eviction.

That's just great. Like it's none of your business.

We have to end it ourselves.

I just want it all to end.

Betrayer.

A NEW DAWN

I'm really set on this project.

We were able to move on because we let go.

I read your article. Let's team up for your next project.

I'm actually a rising star at the city hall.

Pretty good for a disrespected Ajiro Town native, right?

Make Keitaro leave the house by tomorrow.

He doesn't listen to a word I say.

So that's why you brought me here.

"Road Extension Work Underway"

I can't make any promises.

You're no longer attached to the house, right?

Don't pretend you care.

What was that sound?

"Administrative Subrogation Order"

What a mess.

I have to go to the city hall, will be back tonight.

Really? So flaky.

What?

The project I mentioned earlier, it's not a joke.

Let's talk later.

Roger.

It's so hot.

Maximum atmospheric pressure is 1015 hPa.

With high seawater temperatures, the situation requires caution.

- Water curtain, on. - What's going on?

Activating driving power supply.

All systems are ready. Starting countdown.

Eight, seven, six...

Main engine, ignition.

Igniting test salute fireworks "Homegrown."

"Homegrowns" are heading south-southwestward towards Sagami Bay.

Oh gosh...

This has gotta be Chicchi's idea.

How dare he bring Kaoru back.

Bingo! That size must be a prototype.

"Fireworks Encyclopedia"

Where do you think he hid it?

The air raid shelter, I win.

He's gonna do it.

If he's really gonna set it off, he wouldn't hide it.

What do you mean?

Of course he's gonna set it off.

In any case, we were able to confirm it exists.

Shh!

Hey. It's freezing.

Hi there, city official.

Shut up.

Look, this is hilarious. They're looking for a candidate site.

"Solar Panels for the Future of Niura City"

We already know, but there's no such land.

The city doesn't think so.

We need to do something about it.

Huh? Did you say something?

Run-down in only four years and will be gone tomorrow.

50 people are gonna come crashing in, right?

The sea's become so far.

They filled the whole inlet.

I heard your parents worked on it.

I'm not ready to leave yet.

It's all over.

I completed it, my Shuhari.

I knew you were up to something.

Does Chicchi know?

No.

Poor guy.

Mr. Obinata's prototype was the only Shuhari that existed after all.

And even that wasn't set off so

Shuhari became unknown.

Everything'll be fine if my Shuhari goes up.

It won't make a difference. Nothing's the same as four years ago.

All has changed and time is ticking.

If you won't help me, leave me alone.

This place isn't just special to you.

Liar. Then why did you go to Tokyo?

How could I stay?

Hey...

Get down, you'll fall.

Why doesn't anyone take responsibility?

Ajiro Town isn't dead yet.

If this place goes, we have nowhere to return to.

It's already all over, Keitaro.

Please, just stop!

There are better ways than setting off Shuhari.

- Ajiro will soon... - Disappear.

No one won't care if there are no more fireworks.

It's something that comes way after essential daily matters.

Let's stop being a nuisance to society.

No. Dad was just scared to see the world change.

He ran off because he realized that one firework can change the world.

What?

I'm gonna die!

I shouldn't have come.

I wanna go back to Tokyo, now.

I'll apologize in advance.

- Tomorrow at sundown... - No!

Impossible!

Ex-Firework Festival day.

But the city officials are coming tomorrow.

No time to apply.

I'm not asking you to help.

About tomorrow's eviction...

53 staff in total, including cleaning service and fire fighters.

This is a long-standing issue. Your attendance is requested.

Is the fire department informed, Obinata?

- Yes, sir. - Okay then, that's all.

Get it together, Obinata.

Hunting down remnants isn't easy.

"Act 2 Blue Straggler - Aug. 30, 6:19 p.m."

Those are your dad's old drawings, right?

Dad didn't teach me anything.

Do you know what Fraunhofer lines are?

Dark features in a rainbow that's unseeable.

So it's not that he didn't teach you anything.

Are you saying there are things I can't see?

Not exactly.

You're on Dad's side, aren't you?

You're gonna use this old launcher?

Hell no.

I'm gonna use this, don't worry.

The only gunpowder left here are all related to Shuhari.

Anything of value has been taken to pay off debt.

The only clue we have is...

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, blue stragglers in the cosmos.

This is the Shuhari that I arrived at.

"Hanarokusho Paris Green"

Hanaroku! I can't believe Paris green still exists.

No firework companies would use this now.

Only Dad would.

Hey, Keitaro...

How much do you know about Shuhari?

You sound like you know.

Did Dad tell you something about Shuhari?

Mr. Obinata...

You really like to swim, don't you, Kaoru?

I thought it'd be my last chance before the inlet's filled.

You got licensed for manufacturing and handling, didn't you?

I got a call from the association.

I'm not into such low-tech entertainment.

Let me work at Obinata too. I can help make Shuhari...

Once, in a past war, the pirates that were losing

drove their enemy away with a single "noroshi."

Noroshi?

Firework.

It cut out the cosmos with only its sound and colors.

Shuhari?

Pirates saved by entertainment... Nice fairytale.

But the pirates lost, right?

They survived, that's why you exist.

And built an industry that's lasted 500 years, no easy feat for you.

For you too.

Can we make it happen too?

A miracle.

Leave the fireworks to me while the forest and the sea exists.

If you want to do fireworks, do it somewhere spacious than here.

Do it where God can't see it.

Does God exist only here?

Ask my dead wife, I'm just a guy who married into her family.

You're lying.

You're making Shuhari, aren't you?

There's no such firework called Shuhari.

Then what was all that about the pirates?

Think for yourself for a change.

This cigarette tastes bad.

Hey, Kaoru.

Bring these flowers to my wife's altar, will you?

The tropical cyclone now located around Kochi is

expected to turn into a typhoon and

reach the Niura Peninsula sometime tomorrow evening or night.

What?

These four years in Tokyo...

my future's been a blur under all the pressure.

Huh?

A firework set off by desperate pirates

left a 500-year legacy and this house.

I'm glad I still have a place to return to.

Let's set it off.

Your firework.

Gotta get dinner ready.

Oh, Chicchi.

Hey.

How did it go with Keitaro?

Well, um...

I think he's almost ready to leave.

Thanks, Kaoru.

Let's take revenge for this house with our event.

We can wow them with your projection mapping and my planning skills.

Thanks for helping, Kaoru. Let's talk about tomorrow.

You should go home and get some rest, Chicchi.

- We can manage ourselves. - Impossible.

Kaoru, help me make dinner.

Oh, you're here, Chicchi.

Yeah. Thanks.

What's that blue tarp?

- Don't tell him. - I have to.

What's this?

A scandal that took me four years to expose.

"Niura City Mayor's deep ties with contractors"

The city council begins the day after tomorrow.

I'm gonna make the manager freak out.

I was actually busy these four years.

Is this smear campaign of any worth now?

Depends on how you use it. Have a bit of faith in me.

- Chicchi. - What?

- You eating? - Yeah.

We're having your favorite.

Let's have a strategy meeting.

It's our last supper.

Whatever's left inside will be thrown away.

Take out what's important, okay?

Oops.

Egg and Romanesco curry.

The Obinata house.

Vegetable and seafood soup.

Barricade.

Laurel tea and home-brewed liquor.

How nostalgic.

Walkie-talkies.

50 city officials and solar panels.

Gunpowder shed, the house to the north of it.

This is so elaborate.

Cooperating with officials makes cleanup easier.

Do we need walkie-talkies? I'm having a drink.

So the officials arrive...

- Not there. - Huh?

City officials are all about pride.

The north side is visible from the town.

They'd want to avoid media coverage of environmental issues.

They'll come from the south.

Oh, okay...

Strong booze.

But they might come through the forest.

You're so out-dated, Kaoru.

Huh?

Things are different than four years ago.

The forest side has already been acquired and it's a jungle.

Wait, do you guys understand the situation?

15 city officials, 27 cleaners and loggers, and 11 firefighters.

It's the biggest event in the history of Niura.

The barricade is here.

Are you listening?

They'll easily break the barricade.

Chicchi, aren't you drinking too much?

It's our last night.

It'll take half a day to build a road and then our fight will be over.

Be careful, your drink is all over me.

Oops, sorry.

I can't think anymore today.

Okay, then...

Huh?

You're so disgusting.

I wonder how long we can hold out.

- Hold out? - So next is...

Whaddya mean "hold out"?

"Administrative Subrogation Order"

So the eviction starts at 9:00 a.m.

Keitaro, what time is sundown?

- 6:10 p.m. - So hot!

I'm burning!

About nine hours...

The typhoon is arriving a bit before 7:00 p.m.

Our time limit is 30 minutes after sundown.

This is weird. Something's wrong.

You... You guys...

Drink up!

Have another one!

What are you doing?

None of your business.

You're still not over it, are you?

"College Exam Preparations"

I'll be by your side until we sort things out.

Hey!

Keitaro and Kaoru are a bit hot-tempered.

But a good card player is just as tricky.

What do you mean? I'm trying to help you.

Stop kissing ass and go study.

Dad!

What's this?

Huh?

A dream?

I guess not.

- Go home. - This is my home.

Is there any chance we can overturn the eviction?

What if we pay up taxes and negotiate?

Safety Inspection Duties or Explosives Control Law are all excuses.

The city council starts in September and there's an election after that.

Tomorrow's the time limit for the city.

Not even a typhoon can stop collusions or briberies or local civil servants or SDGs.

I don't know what you're thinking but there's nothing we can do now.

Yes, there is.

At tomorrow sundown, we will...

- set off... - Shuhari.

Damn, so Shuhari is ready?

Keitaro made it.

Idiots.

This is how it's gonna be tomorrow.

Like this!

Sorry...

I somehow feel left out...

Hey, bro...

Don't feel responsible for what our parents did.

I never imagined you telling me that.

You too.

Don't carry the Obinata family on your shoulders.

It's no use defending an empty house.

I don't have the talent for fireworks like you do.

Dad had no expectations for me.

That's not true.

I failed as a first son.

I wish I was a kid of this family.

I was always left out from big things even if we were close.

Me too.

You've always been family even if you're not blood-related.

Our ancestors had been performing Shinto rituals long before the ordinance.

Roads versus fireworks...

Do they still think our practices are unnecessary?

I've already betrayed our family.

My only concern is you guys.

Whoa, this soup is delicious.

Let's eat.

You stupid brats.

Damn it.

What are you doing?

You're gonna set off Shuhari, right?

Chicchi?

The battle continues even after this eviction.

Then let's go out with a big bang. I'll announce it.

What if the city finds out?

Don't underestimate my ability as an influencer.

"Fireworks in Niura tomorrow?"

I'll first post on my sub-accounts and then re-post on my main account.

"Fireworks go unannounced..."

Wow...

But promise me just this.

Only one announcing firework before Shuhari.

Shuhari will be the only proper firework.

It'll be the last firework launched by Obinata Fireworks.

"Obinata Fireworks"

Will you be satisfied, Keitaro?

Let's wow all the city officials.

They don't have a clue about culture.

Keitaro...

You agree to let go of this place in exchange?

I'm done eating.

Hey.

What?

Teach me how to increase followers.

Then let's check out your account.

No way, don't look.

No use hiding it now. Let me help you.

- Forget it. - Ow.

You're just the same as when you ran away after losing a game.

Because you guys cheated.

Too much pride.

Dirty player!

Who was heartbroken and crying in the forest?

Who hid food they hate in their desk?

Gonna prepare for tomorrow.

Chicchi, thanks for bringing me here today.

It just hit me that...

maybe he's more attached to this house than he is to fireworks.

Fireworks won't stop the eviction.

Be careful, Keitaro has big ears.

How do you feel about this house, Kaoru?

I was happy all three of us ate together tonight.

Now...

I can let go of this house.

Thanks.

I feel bad for the house, but we need to get him out.

The house will be happy with the firework that Keitaro spent four years on.

Let's have a bit more faith in Keitaro.

- What? - What?

Seriously?

This is insane.

Have you gone mad?

Aren't we here to set off Shuhari?

- Gimme that! - Hey!

Hey!

What are you doing?

Open it up.

Keitaro! Whoa!

I'm not leaving.

Everything comes to an end, the question is how to end it.

You want me to tell you about Shuhari?

That Shuhari doesn't exist?

You're not a family member so stay out of it.

You bring bad luck.

What?

Ow, that hurts!

Ow.

Are you okay?

I'm gonna drag him out.

Hey!

Gonna borrow your car.

Damn it!

Are you satisfied, Keitaro?

Is this what you wanted to do?

What?

"Young Artisans of Tomorrow"

"The End of Niura Fireworks Fest?"

"Gunpowder"

"Gunpowder Explosion Allegedly Caused by Minors"

"Nearby Fireworks Company to be Investigated."

"Eitaro Obinata (age 53), interrogated for mismanagement..."

"...fireworks stored in a bomb shelter."

"Electricity Deregulation Propels Gentrification of Ajiro Town"

"Ajiro Town, Increase of Out-migration"

You guys haven't grown at all.

Keitaro...

Don't make this place only yours.

I'm disappointed in you.

Sorry, Chicchi.

Keitaro...

Stop obsessing with this place and come to Tokyo.

There are so many places out there where you're unknown.

I can take you there.

In Tokyo...

Chicchi told me the food is bad and the houses are small.

Then I'll find a place spacious enough to set off fireworks.

Since when have you known about Shuhari, Keitaro?

Poor you, you've been brainwashed by our insecure dad.

If Shuhari really existed, you wouldn't have been able to leave.

Dad didn't want you to have any false hopes.

What do you mean?

The firework we failed to set off was Shuhari.

The color was definitely Hanaroku.

But that's probably not the only requirement.

After all, I couldn't even figure out the shape.

What I spent four years on making is just a fake.

The last time I saw Mr. Obinata, he said...

"I'm in charge as long as the forest exists."

Chrysanthemum...

He told me to bring them to your mom's altar.

Sorry I couldn't realize at the time.

Not again... I always miss the main point.

But Mr. Obinata didn't make sense.

He said Shuhari doesn't exist.

Four years ago, it seemed he still had hope.

We ruined the Shuhari that Dad was planning to set off some day.

That may be true but...

Save...

water.

Oh my gosh!

What went four years ago was...

The forest.

Not just that! Where's the glue?

The inlet also vanished!

Right, I get it!

This, this, and this too.

The answer was always right before our eyes.

This is...

Sunflower, pine cone, nautilus, Romanesco broccoli.

And chrysanthemum...

The cosmos...

This spiral...

The galaxy.

He applied it to the formation of planets.

Is this the cosmos that Mr. Obinata was trying to express?

It's not the firework that's important.

It's the inlet, to reflect the firework.

The firework reflected on the inlet creates a perfect sphere.

That's what Shuhari is.

It can only be achieved here.

Shuhari isn't a firework.

It's a phenomenon!

But we're screwed.

The firework I made isn't a chrysanthemum.

Then let's make it again.

Impossible, there's no time.

There's two of us.

Even if we're able to set it off here...

there's no inlet anymore.

Shuhari became extinct a long time ago.

It's game over.

Keitaro...

It's not over yet.

"Fireworks need police authorization."

"I wonder where."

"How can Niura City afford fireworks?"

"No way, typhoon's coming."

"Fireworks will go off."

Based on the Explosives Control Law

"Act 3 A New Dawn - Aug. 31, 9:30 a.m."

to ensure public safety and scenic beauty of Niura City

"Road Closed on Aug. 31 9 a.m. - 8 p.m."

"Executor Kanagawa Prefecture"

according to the Administrative Subrogation Act

we hereby seize the property in question.

All clear. Proceed with caution.

The typhoon is speeding up and may reach the Niura Peninsula

one hour earlier...

It's raining.

Loaded. Next, pasting!

Roger!

Here we go.

We're gonna use your souvenir, Mr. Obinata.

The program is set. Launch the announcement.

Roger.

Alrighty, then.

No press on city property, please!

I clearly prohibited TV networks.

The wind's picking up fast.

All set! Returning asap.

"Pirate Festival Today"

- A festival? - What festival?

Hey, who's doing that?

The last time was four years ago, right?

Keitaro, pasting is done.

Roger.

Hey, stop that!

"Sundown 6:09 p.m."

- Keitaro! - Kaoru!

Your robe.

Change of plans. The barricade probably won't last.

We can't wait until sundown.

But Shuhari won't work if it's not dark.

It's all stupid Dad's fault.

It's not that he didn't teach you anything.

You noticed there's a question to solve, so let's solve it.

I know...

Hey...

I'll be done with the preparation in ten minutes.

- The barricade! - Kaoru, stop!

People need to evacuate!

Damn it!

Huh? Something's wrong.

- Over there! - Get them!

- Watch out! Go back! - Run!

I'm stuck!

- Keitaro! - You there, stop!

I said, stop!

Sorry, Sir.

You came.

You guys are serious, right?

I want to see Shuhari too so it can't end before that.

Thanks.

Hey, watch out!

Look at the sky!

We gotta run!

Move your face!

No wind...

The eye of the typhoon?

Keitaro!

Damn, they set it off.

Sir! Wake up!

The sun's setting.

Secure the safety distance!

First degree, 400 meters.

- Hey! - People need to evacuate.

Give us just five minutes more!

- Someone's coming out! - Notify others!

Resident!

Please wait!

- What's that? - A pirate ship?

Get it on camera.

Five, four, three...

Two, one...

"Evacuation Distance 400 meters"

This is insane.

- What's this? - A scandal?

"Manager's involvement suspected"

But this looks real.

A manager's involved?

"Niura City Mayor's deep ties with contractors"

I wouldn't be surprised.

That rat! Always causing trouble!

Kaoru, hurry! Go set it off now!

You have something against me?

There's no time!

Why evacuate?

- What's going on? - The rain stopped.

Sir, you should ban the cameras.

Stop filming!

- Maybe it's true. - A leak?

"First fireworks in six years."" "Might really go off."

- It's true. - Let's all evacuate.

- Evacuate! - Where's the manager?

- For real? - Of course not.

Wasn't today Firework Fest day?

That's Mr. Obinata's place.

Tell Ryota to look at the eastern sky.

- Your grandchild? - Yes.

Any comments on this flyer? Please explain.

Where's Obinata? Always missing when it matters the most.

What's wrong with this?

The launching tube outside is broken.

The eye of the typhoon is almost gone.

The house or the firework...

you need to decide now.

Everyone has left the premises.

Evacuation complete!

How's the wind?

Wind speed at 3.4 m/s. Gradually picking up.

It's now or never.

Sorry to drag you in.

Too late.

Dad thought Shuhari won't be possible

without the calm sea here.

But here, Mom can see it from her grave.

And Mr. Obinata never saw the inlet filled up.

It's worth a try.

Let's show everyone our Shuhari.

The upper winds are twisting it and clouds are hiding the shape.

It'll work.

Can you see it?

Not interested?

It's just a firework.

It's like a cocoon.

"Authorized for Development"

Stay low for a while. Not everyone's with us.

I hear you. You still have work tomorrow, right?

Thanks to your animal suit.

I'll be waiting in the car.

"Violating the permit-exempt amount of fireworks"

"Kaoru Shikimori 1.09M Followers"

Congratulations on a million followers.

Thanks to that, the university found my account and kicked me out.

Now I have to pay back my scholarship.

Sorry I couldn't get you any grants.

Too late.

Wanna come with us?

I'll live here as a descendant of pirates and protect the land in my own way.

"Petition for Revival of Firework Festival"

I took a day off tomorrow so I can take you all the way.

Thanks.

"Niura Police Station Bus Stop"

Any job is hard because it always involves someone else.

You'll see in time.

Whatever.

- Kaoru's coming. - Finally.

Sorry.

You want a drink?

Oh, then coffee.

Let's get moving.

Hey, stop that.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Let's go.
