I am a Venusian.

Even so, is that okay?

To be assigned alone as I wished,

Come.

I've also forgotten that flesh from babysitting.

You might have noticed somewhere far away where a whale jumps.

People are currently engrossed in wandering now.

In the deep deep unconscious innermost feelings, the hidden motives are to be frightened.

What can be drawn back with a line
[ Nino - Venusian
Riku - Son of a Distinguished Family ]

What can be drawn back with a line

is the illusion of relief.

That's it?

But still, with another point,

God has an unbreakable line.

That is?

What is something that will make that person happy or not.

One line. In other words, a borderline.

In other words, what's rock and not rock!

To find that one line, you have to shake off your common sense.

Do you have the resolve to be my enemy?

I'll accept that.

It's been 3 minutes 52 seconds so far.

Anyway, I'm just here to make a boring opening.

It's okay if you forget everything.

The thing that can never be changed is

Earth is a blue, round, and beautiful planet.

Within the palm of leisurely God, it is still energetically spinning today.

Apart from this, inconclusive materials

will appear on movies.

Alright. There are still 107 minutes 13 seconds remaining.

Now, it's the start of the story.

I am very sorry.

One minute.

You have taken exactly one minute of my time.

I'm sorry.

I have something to discuss.

That's not a reason to take up my time. Don't be boastful of your low efficiency.

Does this count as owing someone?

Don't owe anyone anything.

That is our family's motto.

But we, as father and son, are related by blood.

You and I are both from the Ichinomiya family.

Thus, we are not strangers to each other.

Thus,

we are not the same as normal people.

What is not normal?

We are special.

Our corporation is in charge of development on a piece of land. This is a job in cooperation with the government.

You will be in charge of it.

What?

The whole area is of an unused lot. This will be made into a tower condo,

recreational facility, and of course a park, shopping mall, and clinic. There will be 10,000 households.

In other words, we'll be making a neighborhood.

At Arakawa?

Yes. But in the starting point of the development are...

Disorderly occupants are living.

Living selfishly on other people's property.

Possessing the large river.

Just who has a likeness of that of a large river?

Takai, you have a problem with listening.

And, how about their evacuation?

Kou, this is the first job that I will assign to you.

Since it's your first assignment...

I will develop it.

I will give you three months.

That's too much time.

Construction will start at Star Festival.

Non-stop at Star Festival?

Here are good otolaryngologists.

Thank you. You work fast.

I'll be counting on you.

That's why I'll work on this alone.

Alone?

I'll be going to Arakawa.

I understand what you feel, Director, but...

Second-in-command.

Just be quiet and be on your knees.

Takai, what was that just now?

I, the resourceful manager, have been eating recently.

Anyway...

It's impossible for now.

Tomorrow and the day after that,

there are many things you need to be done.

Shimazaki, sorry. Reschedule everything.

Your words and actions don't match.

Please!

Understood.

Thank you. What do you want this be paid back?

Please pay it back with results.

I'm off.

You don't know the vicinity of Arakawa much.

Please be very careful.

You're exaggerating. This is Japan.

Take it off.

What?

Just take it off.

Take what off?

Boss told you to take it off!

So quickly take it off!

Fight to take off your baggy pants!

Stop it.

Hey!

Hey, I'm not wearing baggy pants!

Wait a minute! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Stop it!

World is mine!

Crap. I suddenly want to cry.

But it's better to not get caught with obscene act in public.

Should I get that for you?

No, it's okay. You don't have to.

You don't have to be polite.

I am coming.

You really don't have to care about me.

I must not be indebted to anyone.

I will solve my own problem.

Why do they want to own another person?
[ Featured Love Stories ]

Why do they want to own another person?

Earthling's love sure is super mysterious.

Where am I?

How beautiful.

Sorry.

It looks like you made a debt to me.

That means, you saved my life.

It must be hard to be an Earthling. You are not that good in water at all.

Um... Thank you very much.

I don't know how to repay you.

You don't have to.

I have to.

Aren't you hungry? Is fish okay?

No. What exactly do you want?

I am serious. Whether it be a condo or an apartment, I can give it to you as a gift.

Of course you can pick something else. Just tell me what you want.

I don't want anything.

Huh? Nothing at all?

Yes.

I'm the one who should be surprised.

Do the people in this planet have to be rewarded when they save someone?

So they won't save someone if they don't get a reward?

Can you put on a price on a life?

Stop with such trivial matters.

You keep saying this planet. Aren't you from this planet too?

I am not.

Huh?

I am a Venusian.

What's wrong?

Sorry. Your nonsense made me speechless.

You don't know the planet Venus?

Of course I do.

It's that one.

But I can only return when it is the Star Festival.

When that time comes, a button will appear here.

I see.

Venusians have a setting where they hide their buttons in their foreheads.

[ Featured Love Stories ]

Actually, there's one thing I want to ask.

Please tell me whatever it is.

Can you help me fall in love?

Can you fulfill that wish?

Can you?

Yes.

Okay, where will you live? Of course, near me.

I don't understand what you exactly mean.

Since we're going to be lovers, it's natural.

That's not natural. Besides, I cannot live here.

What?

I'm the one who should be surprised.

It's written that Earthling's romantic relationships should own the other person in love.

Even though there are a lot of things I want to say,

but I have to go home now. Thank you very much.

I guess that's right.

In the end, I am alone.

You forgot this.

That's beautiful.

Are you a swimmer or something?

I am just a Venusian.

She even helped me find my treasure. The wish of the person that saved my life.

Your house is too small, isn't it?

It's time to consider moving. How about it?

The danger of moving is on the other side of the borderline.

How stupid.

But there's a way of thinking as if it's a job.

I'll be in trouble whichever way I take.

Okay, I wonder what will happen?

Starting from today, I will live here.

Until you fall in love.

To think you have no reaction.

I wouldn't mind if you act happier.

I took a long time to decide on this.

Venusians don't laugh like Earthlings.

We don't have that function.

I see.

If you decided that, you should greet the mayor.

Mayor?

He's the one in charge of this riverbed.

The country is in charge of this riverbed.

You called?

He's the mayor.

I was wondering why you called me.

So it is because of this prideful poor man.

I am sorry. I was scared.

Why are you dressed like that?

I didn't wear this.

What is on your back?

It is because I'm a kappa.

Even though we are an endangered specie,

I'm a kappa among the kappas.

Even a hybrid kappa is a kappa.

I only know that you said "kappa" a lot.

Then, what do you think I am?

A strange green person.

That's like saying that Santa Claus is a red trespasser.

How can I ruin the dreams of children?

Have kappas have to do with dreams?

We are not products of fantasy.

You clearly wore that.

No.

This helps me be like an amphibian. It is proof that I'm a hybrid.

It's obvious that you're only wearing a costume.

The mayor is a kappa.

Just like how I am a Venusian.

Is there any reliable point of view here?

Hey, the one wearing a damn suit.

Try me.

Even though I don't know why you suddenly got into a sumo pose, but bring it on.

You're the one who's bringing it on.

I'll help you get very far away.

Stop that, Sister.

But Mayor, such a rude fellow...

Did you not hear me?

I'm sorry.

Well, follow me.

Anyway, what are you?

Why do I have to answer you?

Sister.

What sister? You are a man, right?

Do I look like a woman?

That's why I'm confused. And you even brought a toy with you.

That's a real gun.

What about your permit of firearms?

It flew away with the wind.

I really don't get it.

So what are you?

Do you know Ichinomiya Company?

Do you think we are stupid?

Everyone knows about Toyota.

Indeed.

I am from the Ichinomiya family.

I am Kou Ichinomiya.

But you can't use that name anymore.

What should we call him?

What about Riku?

Why?

Yeah.

A double meaning of "recruit" and "reason", that's why Riku.

As expected from the Mayor.

Did he name you too?

If you would live here, the mayor names you.

Starting from today, you will be called Riku!

But I said...

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Understand?

May I call the police?

You can but it will be useless.

I can use the powers as a kappa to solve it.

This is very confusing.

I am Nino.

2nd grade, 3rd class.

It is as clear as rural road signs.

Then that means, the one who was moving around us is...

Last Samurai?

You sure are smart.

I just have common sense.

Why use your pinky?

Welcome to the riverbed of Arakawa.

Welcome.

Welcome.

This is an illegal construction!

Hey! That's...!

You must report here at 8 AM.

What? A race?

You lot are noisy!

I told you I'm a night owl.

Shut up!

Do you want me to cut you into pieces?

Good morning, Sister!

Good morning.

You're the one from before.

What? Stella, you know Riku?

No, I don't know him.

Don't lie.

Nice to meet you, I am Stella.

That was only a mafia game for the little kids. Pretend that we met for the first time today.

Understood?

Even though there are a lot of people, take your time to know them all.

Okay, it is time to do exercises.

Let's all dance wonderfully for the whole day today.

That way, tomorrow will be a wonderful day too.

Don't just stare at me.

I am not staring.

From what I see, everything in the world can be separated into two.

Is it that simple?

In other words, what's rock and what's not rock.

Anyway, I wrote this song. What do you think?

I think it's perfectly rock.

You understand me.

I don't understand you at all.

Starting from today, you are my best friend.

This will be our sign.

Sign?

Yes. It symbolizes that the two of us have the same thoughts. In other words,

it's a sign that means I thought of that too.

Is that necessary?

The two of you, put out your tongues.

Huh?

I will help you cut them.

What did you say?

I am telling you two to not talk.

You are wasting oxygen.

Just who do you think you are....

You won't have a next time.

Who is that unreasonable person?

The super sadist, Maria.

She's a sadist like no one else.

One time, I almost got her very mad.

Isn't she very scary?

Yes.

So you use it at times like these?

Yes. Convenient, isn't it?

But why is he looking at us like that?

You see, Sister towards Maria...

Hoshi.

Do you want to be a meteor?

Just what is wrong with this place?

[ Arakawa 2nd District Redevelopment Plan

They are 13 people in total.

I really can't tell that they are the same mammals like me.

It's me. Takai, ready 130 million yen.

I know. I don't intend to spend all of it, as you can see.

Riku, are you there?

Sorry, I'll hang up.

Coming.

It's time for dinner.

It's okay. I will just get a take out.

But everyone is preparing for it.

Look.

[ Riku's Welcome Party ]

Tell me why you want to live in such a faraway place.

Well, I think it's called a sense of distance.

A sense of distance? I know what that is. It was in the magazine.

[ Featured Love Stories ]
A sense of distance? I know what that is. It was in the magazine.

They are far away yet it feels like they are close by.

They are close by yet it feels like they are faraway, isn't it?

Even though I don't get it, but to lovers, a sense of distance must be very important.

Yes, lovers aren't confined to it. A sense of distance is...

Is it like this?

Your hand is very cold.

Venusians have low body temperatures.

I see.

[ Welcome, Recruit ]

[ Welcome to the riverbed village! ]

[ Recruit ]

[ Riku's Welcome Party ]

Attention!

Three, two, one...

Is it an illusion?!

No matter how many times I see it, you're handsome!

What's wrong, Billy?

I thought the bullet was already taken out.

Geez, you idiot!

What is this? All he did was take off his costume.

I will be performing next then.

I'm Ryoma Sakamoto of various families.

Last Samurai's impersonations are rock.

So sour Ryoma!

Oh, I'm also named Ryoma.

Coincidentally, I'm also called Ryoma.

Really? I'm also Ryoma.

It's a Ryoma festival!

Ryoma is played too realistically.

A realistic thief.

If he was alive, I would definitely have fallen for him.

I understand what you mean.

I don't understand anything.

It's not ordinary and the last one was mixed with modern language.

Also, do you have to eat a lemon?

He brushed it off.

He forced it out.

Forced!

I'm next. I will avoid bullets.

Avoid bullets?

Maria.

What? What? What?

I'm not going to be easy on you.

Wait.

But you got hit.

You're wearing your bulletproof vest.

I've still got ways to go, huh?

But Sister is the greatest.

You really rock.

But it's strange that he's not arrested yet.

Also, what's with you got ways to go?

Okay, let's have the newcomer, Riku, finish with an elegant ending.

What?

Let your lover see something good.

What? You are Nino's lover?

I guess so.

What? Explain it clearly!

If I am angry, I can make the oceans connect.

The seas are are originally connected.

If you think about it, Arakawa can be considered as an ocean.

I don't need reasons!

What exactly happened?

Riku is my lover.

No way.

It's true. We just held hands for the first time just then.

Right?

Yes.

Was it a tear that just fell?

Hoshi. If you want to fall, I'll help you.

I am no longer Hoshi, I'm no longer a star!

Hoshi!

You will always be the first star here!

Oh well.

He will be depressed for awhile.

Shall I go exterminate him?

Don't.

It's okay if you will be the replaced, Mayor.

Please stop it.

[ Pay your debts to unrelated people ]

If you are having trouble, I'll help.

You were here.

Ah, thank you.

This might be too sudden, but are you in love, Shimazaki?

Huh?!

Of course you are.

I am.

I've been in love for a long time.

Really?

Yes.

I've been love wholeheartedly many times.

If you're in trouble, I'll help.

No way.

Also, please drink this.

It's an herbal medicine.

It's really effective.

The resourceful manager, also known as the Director's stalker.

Even if that's a joke, it's scary.

Second-in-command!

Are you telling love stories for the future?

Sorry, thanks for the good work.

And as support, I counted them numerous times.

Please check.

First.

Is this enough for the expenses of the welcome party a few days ago?

I don't need money.

And that's too much.

Consider the addition interest, please take it.

Is this repaying a debt?

How do you know that?

Kappas can see everything.

We have eyes that can see a thousand meters.

Plus we often work to provide ourselves.

There's no way that's possible.

Then follow me.

I will explain it to you.

Here first.

[ Cannot be yielded ]

And Last Samurai cuts everyone's hair.

Shiro draws lines and collect empty bottles to exchange for beer.

Why is he drawing lines?

Good work.

Don't think that I know everything.

And the brothers, Tetsuo and Tetsuro...

Stella is responsible for chopping the firewoods.

That girl has a problem.

Actually, everyone here has a problem.

Stella is an abused child.

Be easy on her.

Well, I'm just lying.

And as for Jacqueline.

She is the chiropractor.

Then the one getting the massage?

Billy is a gangster.

I don't know where he gets it, but he brings the rice on time.

Where does he get the money?

Anyway, in the Arakawa riverbed,

everyone works hard to live.

No one is lazy and everyone works together. Thus, everyone is happy.

Do you have any more questions?

Yes.

You said no one is lazy

there is someone you're missing.

Hoshi brings music for this place.

A world without music is trash.

The background music playing right now is one of Hoshi's work.

What?

Really?

Hoshi was a famous musician long time ago.

Mayor, stop talking about the past.

If you want, you can listen to my work.

This is my third album.

Could this have been sold a long time ago?

It even charted at Oricon at number 3.

Sorry about yesterday, since we are best friends.

That is my proof of my apology.

[ I see an idiot! ]

Idiot! Idiot!

No one wants to be best friends with you!

Don't use that secret sign again.

That bastard.

Why is he so petty?

There's also another one that I am missing and that is you.

I am here.

I pray for everyone's happiness here.

That's why...

I will be harsh to someone who will destroy this daily life.

Even if that someone would be an Ichinomiya.

Let me tell you one thing.

There are things in this world that cannot be bought with money.

Everyone in here won't be moved with money.

Just who are you?

I told you.

I am...

...a kappa among the kappas.

Riku.

Find your place soon.

Can you believe it?

There is nothing in this world that cannot be bought with money.

Hello? It's 500 million yen.

Do you really know how much 500 million yen is?

Do you know how much 500 million yen is?

Do you really know how much 500 million yen is?

Can you please listen to me?!

Then how about you each receive 1 billion yen?

For example, when 500 million yen is put here,

everyone, even riding a car, would be in huge panic.

Why don't you rest until the Golden Week holidays are over?

I'm resting now.

Master Kou.

As a change of pace, why don't you go to the hot springs?

I, Takai, will even give you a shampoo rinse.

Won't you say, "No, you don't have to"?

There was one time that Dad washed my hair.

The chairman?

It's unbelievable, isn't it?

It was in the morning of the graduation day of grade school.

Dad, can you come home early today?

After the graduation ceremony, we will go higher.

Starting from today, you and me will be unrelated.

What do you mean?

Kou.

Starting from today, you will live alone.

Why?

Aren't you going to be a strong person?

It was the last time I cried that day.

I...

I...

I want to meet Dad's expectations.

Might as well look at the condition a little.

Just one minute.

[ Arakawa Cherry Papers

Just where did it go just now?!

But that's an autographed ball!

That's definitely a fake.

I'm to decide if it's a real one or not!

Should I apologize?

Why don't apologize everything after you get it.

I'm sorry! You're annoying!

What was that?!

- Are you really apologizing with that?!
- Hoshi.

Would you shut up?

This is the Universe Series.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I wonder what would be the best way.

Nothing comes to mind at all.

Riku!

Ms Nino.

Where were you all week? I've been looking for you.

Didn't I said that I will be gone during Golden Week?

I thought you'll never come back.

I thought that we would never see each other again.

I'll come back.

That's because I haven't paid you back anything.

That's not true.

I feel love doing something like this.

Nino-san.

Ouch! It hurts! Ouch! It hurts!

I understood something when you were gone.

What is it?

Sense of distance.

Even though you're far, I felt you were close to me.

Riku.

Yes?

You smell.

What?

Come here a bit.

It's really alright.

Tetsuo, Tetsuro, I'll borrow the bath.

Okay!

Mayor, put out your pinky.

I'll cut it off.

- So you came back, terrorist.
- Are you listening?!

Welcome back.

I'll bully you again.

So you'll be playing with us again.

But I'm fine that you didn't come back!

Don't say that.

Nino looks so happy.

No.

Maybe that facial expression is wavered with my timing.

No.

No way.

I don't think so.

No way.

The ones who says no.

Looks like 400 of us.

Even you, Mayor?!

I think...

It is wavered.

I know right.

Even though I thought of giving up.

The end.

There are times like that.

Should I help you?

How is it?

It's good.

That's good to hear.

Um, Ms Nino.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure, anything.

Why did you ask to fall in love?

Because I am interested in the love between Earthlings.

I want to understand it before returning to Venus.

I shouldn't have asked.

Wait. What're you doing?!

Don't move.

I can't let you do this.

Don't worry. You don't owe me anything.

I want to wash your hair for you.

Hey, Riku.

Let's go on something called a date next time.

I have time next week.

It's good to be able to cry.

What is wrong with me?

That hurt!

Who the hell did that?!

When skimming a rock, be careful!

What's really going on?

Ah, it's Riku.

Are you playing hide-and-seek on your own?

No.

Are you Tetsuo boy?

Just call me Tetsuo.

But I'm Tetsuro.

I'm sorry. I can't tell you apart.

Then, Tetsuro.

Forget about paying your debt to me.

Don't sweat it.

Besides, come use the bath anytime.

It'll be empty in no time, after all.

Is there anything I can help you with?

If you put it that way, there's one thing.

What?

Teach me how to back hip circle.

Tetsuo can do it, but I'm just the one who can't do it.

Sure.

Ah! Were you just making fun of me?!

No way.

There's crying and smiling.

Well, well.

What will happen?

It's okay if you take the long route, just go to the ocean.

Then be surprised by the sceneries you have never seen before.

Ms Nino, this is more like a stroll than a date.

You said it before.

The river is connected to the ocean.

The ocean is unified as one.

Yes.

But that's common sense.

I'm sorry Riku, that I'm a Venusian.

Ms Nino, what is your blood type?

E.

Hobbies?

Observing Mercury.

Ah.

Watching from the side, you can see it clearly.

Is that so?

That's right, Riku.

Could we play a Venusian game?

Venusian game?

After rock, paper, scissors, the person who wins walks forward.

For example,

if I win with this.

Cho-co-late, right?

I know that much.

It's not the same, but it's okay.

Do you want to play it?

Let's play it.

Then let's start there and play.

Okay.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Cho-co-late!

Ms Nino!

You are too weak!

Her facial expression shows that she is unhappy.

She is definitely an Earthling.

Should we stop?

Rock, paper, scissors!

Gu-ri-ko-ge-goes-to-the-moun-tain-to-chop-wood.

What was that just now?

It's a Venusian language.

And I am not done.

That's unfair!

He-he-hey!-He-he-hey!-He-he-hey!

In Venus, people don't carry each other on their backs.

Really? But I never got a piggyback ride either.

Then let me give you a piggyback ride.

It's okay. I admit that I lost.

My turn.

It's okay.

I'll carry you. I'll carry you.

No, it's okay.

I am only carrying you because I want to.

Ah.

It is like me.

It is alone.

It is alone and can't go anywhere.

Please wait a bit.

Hey, what are you doing? It's dangerous.

Because I am like that too.

What?

I am alone and cannot go anywhere.

I can't hear you.

Oh.

You are its lifesaver, huh?

Let's go too.

It's okay.

This is far enough.

But we are almost by the ocean.

I don't want my lover to catch a cold.

Let's go back.

Ms Nino.

Let's go on a date again.

Next time, let's really go to the ocean.

I hate promises.

Because I don't know when it will be fulfilled.

Is it because you're going back to Venus?

That's right.

I am going back when it's the Star Festival.

Right after the sun sets on the Star Festival.

Then we can go together before the Star Festival.

Your hands are still very cold.

This is the exchange between Earth and Venus.

I guess so.

Rock.

Roc...

This is not rock at all.

Hey, let's already buy a washing machine.

I understand, Brother.

Left.

Top.

Nino.

I am pedaling.
Nino.

I am pedaling.

Pump water. Pump water. Pump water.

Shouldn't you take that off?

I have nothing to take off.

You took off your turtle shell.

I am just dislocating it.

Understood.

But wash the insides cleanly as well.

Sorry, the soap flew.

Sorry, the soap flew, two.

Three. Four. Five.

You bastard!

I heard you went on a date with Nino recently, huh?

Does that even count on a date?

Don't hide it!

Hoshi, if you keep bothering her she will be annoyed.

Don't call me by my name lightly.

Hoshi!

Shut up!

You astronomical bastard!

Just stop it already!

How dare you, you bastard!

Astronomical bastard!

Hey!

Hoshi!

Billy, get him!

I'm sorry.

Just leave me alone!

Come!

Right now, you're thinking that it's not bad living like this.

Isn't it?

No. I'm wondering if you are okay like that.

I am like Jesus Christ, aren't I?

I only see a kappa.

Oh. I look like a kappa?

It's just a description.

Riku.

You are becoming more human.

Don't be polite.

You can call me Mayor.

Brother!

Mayor.

You said so quickly, Brother.

What will make you leave this place? Please give me a condition.

Aren't you good at common sense?

Is that something that can be discussed from a distance?

Why does everyone insist on living here?

I told you to not think that I know everything.

Please don't mess with me.

Then let me ask you something.

Go ahead.

Listen carefully.

Go ahead.

This question will become very important.

So go ahead.

If everyone knew the winning numbers of the lottery,

they would all go buy it, right?

It's normal to buy it.

Why didn't you buy it?

Is it because you're rich?

No.

Because that is no longer a lottery.

Isn't it?

That's right.

It became a valuable that was no longer part of a dream.

You don't know where the dream went.

I also don't know where the conversation went.

How is this important?

In other words,

it is interesting to human beings because they don't know the ending.

But humans are weak. So they can't live alone.

So they have to help each other.

It's that simple.

Everyone wants to stay here so they stay.

No one is forced to stay here.

But this land belongs to the government.

So what?

Construction may begin any time.

That's why?

They decided to start constructing on the Star Festival.

Riku.

God did not establish common sense.

Even so, if you struggle, then it's your fault.

But...

Don't get close to Nino anymore.

Okay! It's time for mass.

Everyone, gather around here!

Mayor.

Mass in here?

Where did that dream come from?

Can you stop making that disgusting face?

The rockin' morning is losing its rock.

Can you not talk to me?

Idiot!

Gently pull it up in the roots.

Then try lifting it up.

There you are. You are there but who among you is Tetsuro?

Who might it be?

Who is the one who can't do a back hip circle?

Could it be?!

I made an iron bar. Let's go.

Okay.

What? Huh? You can't do it too, Tetsuo?

I'm sorry, Tetsuro. Your big brother was only showing off.

What the hell?!

The truth is, I can't do it too.

You too, Stella?! How rude of you!

It's showing off as your boss!

I can't do it, but I don't see it as a problem until now.

But if I can do it, I want to do a back hip circle in reverse!

Then, come with me, all of you.

This is back hip circle.

Oooh!

Teacher!

- Teacher!
- Teacher!

- Teacher! Teacher!
- Teacher!

- Teacher!
- Teacher! Teacher!

- Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!
- Teacher! Teacher!

- Teacher! Teacher!
- You've become really popular.

But it kinda feels like they're making fun of me.

- Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!
- I get it already!

Okay. Let's start first with the brothers.

Okay!

First, your hands should be like this.

Like this?

It's in reverse, but it's okay to start like that.

Okay.

Now, let's try it.

- That hurt.
- You brothers, should we start with taking off your metal helmets?

This is super hard.

I see.

Should I pursue her later?

You probably want to like them, right?

Living knowing how to back hip circle.

One, two...

Okay, you can do it!

- That's the theory.
- Go! Go!

- Ah.
- Go! Go!

I will do it swiftly.

That's it for today. Come on, run. Run.

It's raining!

- Running. Running.
- Let's hurry.

- Running. Running.
- What?
- It's not me.

- We'll already wet.
- I see.

God also plays tricks.

If that happens to me, I will grasp hardly.

I'm glad that you can't do it too, Mayor.

Fucking God!

Idiot!

Do you know, Ms Nino?

Stop it already!

There are things you can't buy with money.

Then, I am alone.

Could you stop talking to me?

Riku, you're really popular.

I haven't paid anything back to you, Ms Nino.

Ms Nino.

Can I ask you one thing?

- That's enough.
- Sure, anything.

Why did you ask to fall in love?

Because I am interested in the love between Earthlings.

Construction will start in the second day of next month.

Before early summer, if they all moved away...

I meant I had enough.

I'm sorry.

Just what has he been doing for the past two months?

Make an appointment with the minister of land that the start the construction will start soon.

Understood.

Shimazaki.

Yes?

Don't waste time.

You cannot get back time.

Understood.

Could this be God's trick?

Wow. It's been a long time since the sky is full of stars.

Yes, that's why...

We are observing the sky.

Everyone, listen carefully.

Everything you see in the telescope is upside down, so don't be surprised.

Hey, don't be shocked when I'm done talking.

Hey, Riku.

Looks like the flowers are upside down.

Look.

It's true.

It looks like the flowers are bloomed upside down.

Isn't it?

Please look at the stars.

Not that star.

Ms Nino, is something wrong?

No.

It looks like the flowers are bloomed upside down.

But why is it upside down?

That's because the telescope shows the sub-refraction and reflection of objects.

No.

There's no top or bottom in the universe, so it's fine if it's upside down.

That's what Galileo Galilei said.

There are times when you're not blabbing about reasoning, huh?

Your expression is dreamy.

It's so dreamy that I want to slap it.

Can I slap you?

No way you can. What's the reason behind that?

I can't control it! Nobody can stop me!

What are you doing?

Anyways...

Maria.

We take a step...

Maria!

To live...

Maria!

However...

Maria!

Maria!

Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry, Stella.

I didn't intentionally hide.

Wait!

Spread out!

I'm sorry, Stella!

This is the critical point but I can't hold it anymore!

You are lying!

I also drew a line!

I as well!

Me too!

Stella cried?

You trash!

Let's go!

She won't stop crying.

I shouldn't have let my guard down.

Stella is like me.

Ms Nino, you cried before too?

But I can't cry tears.

Venusians can cry, but we don't have tears.

We don't have that function.

She crudely made that up.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Come.

What was that just now?

What's wrong?

No.

I suddenly had flashbacks I don't remember.

But, she's now sleeping.

Were you like this too, Riku?

I don't know.

That's because I don't know anything about my mother.

You smile like you are crying.

Hello?

Master Kou! Master Kou! We have a big problem! A big problem!

They will be forced out the day after tomorrow?

Make an appointment with the minister of land that the start the construction will start soon.

Doesn't the construction start at the Star Festival. There should have been two more weeks.

Shimazaki was assigned by the chairman.

She was a spy.

No way.

Then? What should we do?

Umm... Just what are you?

Takai, don't be distracted now.

It's not the time for it.

I'm sorry.

Riku.

Would you like to destroy this place?

Or protect it?

Which?

I...

You will?

I...

Ms Nino.

I don't like it.

I don't want to be separated to you nor everyone.

Are you running away?

Or going to challenge them?

Would you stop making that disgusting face?

Hoshi.

I...

I accept that you are my best friend.

Riku!

Protect her if she's your lover or not!

Throwing away!

You astronomical bastard!

Do you think you're the only one who's gonna return it?!

But, Mayor!

There really are things you can't buy with money.

Of course there are!

Takai, make an appointment with the minister of land.

What will you do?

I have no choice but to stop the construction.

How?

We'll use money?

You'll use money?

That's why, I'm thinking about it now.

Riku.

You're fairly rock.

Are you really going to face against Mr Seki, the chairman?

I'm sorry.

Well, it's true that I am one of Mr Seki's vast men.

But even now and before, it doesn't change that I am Master Kou's resourceful manager.

If it's for the Director's cause, I, the resourceful manager...!

I will do it!

Riku!

Is that rock?

That is...

...blues.

Me and Seki are simple buddies in college. That's why I know him well.

So do you understand what you're saying?

You're really gonna have a hard time making an enemy of your old man.

I understand from his lessons.

It would be really bad if he finds out we met up.

That's why this is not a traditional Japanese restaurant.

That place would make the modern society know quickly about us meeting.

Hmm... I see...

Also, I heard that you, Minister Takayashiki, like the French fries here.

But there is no bad intention there.

I cannot do the same methods as my father.

Then how will you be able to persuade me?

There's no other choice but to let you know about the people living in that riverbed.

Each has one thousand pages.

I can't decide it with just that.

The truth is, this is not enough.

You want me to read all these?

I'm asking you to read all of it.

You really have the same eyes.

I've been told.

Not with Seki.

Your eyes match like your mother's.

Do you know my mother?

Do you want some French fries?

The one who gave me a nickname of "Potato" is your mother.

Seki and I met her during college.

My mother must have been someone gloomy too.

You really don't know anything.

That's because my father hasn't said anything about her.

That's not it.

Your mother was someone who was admired by all, and was known to scholars as a Venus.

Your mother...

Exchanged her life for you to be born.

[ Minister of Land - Takayashiki ]

[ Development Act Permission Notification ]

Would this be fine?

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the good work!

Could you be...?!

It's alright to turn around, it's too bad for my head to finally be connected with my neck.

If by chance I refused what we're talking about...

I'll leave you alone.

Isn't he great?

He has quite a potential.

You're not too bad too having recognized him.

Not at all.

As a reward,

I'll get you into lottery next time.

If I win, I'll give you the number.

I'll give it to you.

No. I cannot memorize that.

It's alright to let you leave empty-handed?

You make me remember when I was young.

You don't have a sense in politics.

That was a compliment just now.

People can do it again no matter the age.

I'm talking about when you become a real minister next time.

Oh, okay.

Hey, Takayan.

You're calling me like my mother.

This is just a pure curiosity.

You probably liked the Venus.

N-no.

You're not suited after all.

You're really bad at lying.

But... it's... rock!

Hey!

Rock!

Hey!

- Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!

- Hey! Hey!
- Rock! Rock!

- Rock! Rock! Rock!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!

- Rock! Rock!
- Rock!

Hey!

Wow!

There he goes! Congratulations!

Riku, you're a man!
[ Congratulations on Saving Arakawa ]

That's true!
[ This recovery shop! ]

That's true!

I'll drink until the end!

I'll keep you company!

It's now a party!

Okay! It's now your turn!

You!

Empty it!

Drink it up!

[ Venus means the planet Venus ]
Drink it up!

It's... now... rock!

- Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!
- Hey! Hey! Rock!

- Rock! Rock! Rock!
- Rock! Rock!

Rock! Rock! Rock!

Rock!

Did something happen to Riku?

Mistress Nino, there are times when a man needs to drink up.

Even... more... rock!

- Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!

Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!

Yey! Hooray!

Hooray!

Whoo!

What a funny face.

- As expected by the great Riku!
- Come on, next! Next!

Are you going to eat this?

It was the month where you're expected to be born.

But it was the time when she wanted to go to a festival.

Eating cotton candy and shooting targets.

What do you want to do?

Hmm...

She even tried catching goldfishes,

Water bowl.

and even got a super ball.

Here's another one.

We just ate that.

What?

Then you don't need this.

Since I was in the way, I was always eating sweet potatoes.

You eat too much.

They look really happy.

We thought that she will grow old with Seki.

That's dangerous.

Aaah!

You too.

Safe!

Hey, Takayan, really?

The three second rule.

But these days, I'm engrossed in politics.

Dams that are of no use were keep on building.

But the streets we were walking were crooked.

The three second rule.

From what basis is that?

Seki.

There are things in the world with no basis.

Would things end if everything has basis?

That's true.

You too?

Then what is the basis of this child to live?

That is...

Okay! 300 second rule!

There is no basis at all.

There is only miracle, Seki.

Yes, it's a miracle. No basis.

In other words, that child is a miracle.

That's right. Potato, you said something good.

And that means it's also a miracle I got this.

That's not true. That is...

It's from my earnings from my part-time job.

Yes.

Sorry!

But I really wanted this no matter what.

This is beautiful after all.

Look out!

Yuu...

Yuu?

Yuu?

Takayan...

Yuu...

Huh?

That's why...

She was unconscious in a critical state.

Ambulance...

Ambulance!

Even so, she...

Yuu.

Hey!

Seki.

Hey!

Normally, it wouldn't be surprising if she was cut open.

Even so, she...

...gave birth to you.

Here. He's born.

Hey.

Don't leave me with such a big debt.

I will exchange my life to have him born.

Then Seki, I'll leave him to you...

I didn't know anything.

What's not normal?

It means it's special.

I...

...didn't know anything!

Riku.

Mayor said it's not good to cry for your own.

But I'm jealous.

Because you're a Venusian?

Yeah.

Were you awake?

Because you're a Venusian?

Yes.

I don't have that function.

That makes me envious.

I want that function now.

Anyway, just what are you talking about being a Venusian?

It's too bad of a joke that I can't laugh.

What?

Please tell me the truth already.

Are you saying that I have been lying all along?

A lie or whatever.

Yes, that's what I thought.

There's no way you're a Venusian.

I'm a Venusian.

However you look at it, you're an Earthling.

I'm a Venusian!

I'm a Venusian!

Since when?

Tell me! Since when?

I am a Venusian now and even before!

I'm the only Venusian left in this wide universe!

Are you saying...

Are you saying...

That I should believe that?!

Just what is a Venusian?!

What's a blood type E?

What's this Mercury observation?!

Give me a break already!

There's no way I would believe that!

Even though I...

...believed in you!

Well, well, well...

Since it's my third time, I said it thrice.

So far it's one hour 21 minutes and 36 seconds.

It has been a bit long.

But I'm just here to make a dull opening.

But it would be bad if you forget.

Instead, please try to remember.

Most of the time, facial expressions cannot be changed. Even if you cried, you cannot remove the tears.

Luck and absolute victory.

But reflexes are exceptional.

But I'm not good at doing back hip circle.

That child must now embark.

Where to?

Of course!

To the root!

Borderline!

The other side!

But Nino can do a back hip circle.

What? Really?

Riku taught me until I can do it.

I see.

Good for you.

It's not at all!

That girl from 2nd grade 3rd class can only do a goodbye rock.

[ Minister of Land, Takayashiki, Replaced ]

[ Revolt of the Arakawa District Development ]

The trump cards are unique.

They the same cards, right?

In other words, the voided Jokers are cut off.

There's only 28 minutes and 23 seconds left.

Fill in the prayers in your seats, it's the start of the ending.

[ I wish to reconcile with Riku - 2-3 ]

She really put it through.

You are the same.

I wonder what's written there?

Who knows.

Aren't you curious?

I wonder.

Are you as stubborn as Hoshi?

What is this?

Stubborn fellow...

Observe!

[ I met Riku
I held hands with Riku ]

[ I went on a date with Riku ]

[ Riku is kind
He intentionally lost ]

[ It was fun
Riku cried
Riku smiled ]

[ Riku made a mistake
Riku got mad
Riku looks always lonely
He's always with me
That's why I am with him]

[ That's why... ]

[ ... I am... ]

[ ... with... ]

[ ... him ]

Just what is...

...Ms Nino?

Stubborn one...

Try believing on what you saw.

Also, just what are you?

Why don't you try to be a kappa too?

I'll let you wear a symbiotic part of my body.

Is that an oxygen tank?

It's a kappa's true form.

No, it's not.

It's alright.

Hurry.

Just wear and go!

Go get her!

The answer is not whispered by the wind but it's in the bottom of the river.

Where would I go?

Of course.

You have more than enough oxygen there. Like I'll let you inhale carbon monoxide.

It's the time for you to see someone precious to you!

Dive deep.

Here they are!

Riku.

I'm going to go home using this.

It's normal to have that kind of reaction.

But I'm still a Venusian.

It must be hard being an Earthling.

You are too weak on water.

I am a Venusian.

I can go home when it's the Star Festival.

A button here will appear here.

In the end, I am alone.

Looks like sense of distance is important to lovers.

It is an exchange between

Venus and Earth.

Alone and nowhere to go.

I hate promises.

You don't know when it will be kept.

Even if Venusians cry, there are no tears.

We don't have that function.

I'm the only Venusian left in this wide universe!

Even though I believed you.

It's okay. It's enough.

I'm going home today.

Can you help me fall in love?

I cannot let you do that.

What are you doing?

Because I haven't let you love me yet.

You did.

You are bad at lying.

I didn't believed you from the start.

Normally, you wouldn't fall in love in men like that.

Because even though you are near but the truth is you're really far. That kind of send of distance.

That's true.

Ms Nino.

Even though I didn't say the truth from the start,

I'm sorry.

That kappa say something good from time to time.

But I want that function now.

Ms Nino.

Should you really leave today?

Yes.

If I don't fly before sunset, I won't be able to go home.

There are many things I want to ask, but there's one thing...

Can I still make it now?

What about?

I want you to fall in love!

I am a Venusian.

Would that be alright?

If it's not you, Ms Nino, I'm no good.

Riku.

Move more here.

Sir.

This is the country's property.

Calmly cooperate with us or...

You're noisy!

Will you use that with us this close?!

It's a waste to use that.

It's not too late.

Idiots! You're all noisy!

You're the one who's noisy.

If you leave the premises,

you will be given monetary gift.

We won't be moved with money.

You replied with my name.

I replied with your name.

I asked to call you only the third time.

You can ask me whenever to pay you back.

Only the pork bowl was the one that's really good in our college cafe.

You talk too much as always.

Even though we were friends.

There is nothing in this world that doesn't deteriorate.

Let me hear one thing from you, Seki.

Why do you go that far to go against your son?

What I am doing is his upbringing. It's a parent's job for his son's upbringing.

Then let me tell you one thing.

It's not your fault that she died.

A friend's upbring is a duty of a former friend, right?

Also...

Isn't it just one thing?

It won't be the end of me at this place.

What do you intend on doing?

I'm thinking about eating a pork bowl from now on.

What should we do?

Do it.

Aaah! My third album!

Please hold it!

Oh my.

So you came back, diver.

I'm back, kappa.

Want to use it, best friend?

Dad, can you hear me?

And I was wondering what were you doing and you were just playing with water.

How impertinent of you.

Well, um...

If you want to say something say it concisely.

Please stop everything.

No.

Please!

It's impossible.

Anyway, is that the attitude of asking a favor to someone?

Riku, stop doing such unacceptable thing!

Ah!

Think about the wind!

The wind is going backwards, you idiot!

Thank you very much.

What's wrong with you?!

It's time to apologize!

You gave me courage.

What do you mean?

I don't remember raising you like that.

You have stopped raising me.

I will let it slip as if none of this happened.

Kou.

Messing up these past days....

I can't make it like it didn't happened.

I am not you, Dad.

I am not strong like you.

That's why...

I can't let it be like it never happened like you.

I finally understood.

Just what is my treasure.

Riku.

"My treasure". 2nd grade, 3rd class.

Number 1. Kou Ichinomiya.

Dad.

Do you remember?

It's the only time where you there at the lesson participation.

I want to be strong like my father in the future.

I didn't know that this was Mom's memento.

Takayashiki.

I...

...made this my treasure because you gave it to me.

I also wrote this on my essay.

One day, I will also become a respectable man like my father.

I will use hundreds and thousands of red, blue, yellow, green, various colorful balls

to decorate a big white box into a beautiful rainbow,

and then I will tie it with a ribbon that is redder than a rose and give it to my father.

Anyway, I respect how committed a president he is

and how he raised me all by himself.

That's why I wish to be a strong person like my father, that's how I look hard to find my treasure.

I no longer

want to be like you.

That's how I look hard to find my treasure.

Dad.

I cannot live you like you anymore.

Do you have the resolve to be my enemy?

I have.

Because I found a lot of my treasure here.

Could you please stop making that disgusting face?!

Can you stop talking to me?

Please remember, Dad.

What about?

Your smile. I'm sure Mom saw it!

Don't use a reprimanding voice!

I'm sorry.

Kou.

Yes?

Raise your head.

I can't.

I don't remember raising you like that.

This is the last thing I will teach you.

Listen well.

If there is such a thing as God,

what do you think he or she

gave us the most troublesome ability?

It's to regret.

That's too fast, Seki.

Is that the three second law?

And?

Having a treasure

is really painful if you lose it.

It's too painful that it's like you cannot live anymore.

Even if you waited for your surroundings, you cannot stop it with your hands.

And to forget

is harder than to remember.

Even so, do you

have the resolve to protect it?

I have.

No matter how much grief it would cause.

I see.

If you will be able to do what I cannot...

Do it.

Move out.

Move out!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

I told you to rewrite it.

What?

You have no idea what kind of person I am.

To begin with, nobody will be able to achieve such vague dream.

What awaits is being indebted to people you are not related with.

Rewrite it.

No.

That's because I didn't want you to become like me.

And also...

You have found your treasure.

Is it the essay?

I'll show it to you next time.

You'll laugh at how bad the handwriting is.

I think it's pretty legible.

If he was going to bow on his knees, I wasn't going to let him go.

Your son is slowly becoming like you.

He is also like you, Chairman.

You'll be reinstated as a cabinet member starting tomorrow.

It's fine if you punch the stupid soul once if you want.

Hey, Takayan.

Seki isn't bad at all.

Shimazaki.

Are you hungry?

What?

I know a place that serves a delicious pork bowl. Want to eat with us?

Yes. Of course.

Anyway, just who was that?

If you I tell you, you'll regret it.

Who is it?

An immortal hermit

who lives in the bamboo groves.

You called?

Hey, Takayan.

Have you hit your head?

It's not me, Seki.

Can we turn back time?

There's nothing in this universe that people can't do.

It's better that the streets are crooked.

3, 2, 1!

Have you fallen in love with me?

Yes, deeply.

You're beautiful, Nino.

The best of the best diamond!

Okay! Let's take a picture!

Gather around!

Hey, Hoshi!

Where should we gather? Where?

There!

There? We should gather there, everyone. Over there.

Here, here!

One, two...

3, 2, 1...

Nino.

Stella, don't cry.

One minute.

Only one minute left till the sun sets.

And then Nino...

Won't be able to return.

That's right. Only her lover can push that button. You choose.

Countdown starts.

Ms Nino, I want you tell me something.

How will you say "I" in Venusian?

"The flower"

What about "deeply"?

"looks like it's".

"truly"?

"super".

"really"?

Ah, this one is the same.

When I first found out about it, it made me happy.

And finally, what is "love you"?

"blooming upside down."

The flower looks like it's super blooming upside down.

Riku.

I finally understood.

What is it?

This is the time when you say "I love you".

Your eyes are beautiful, that's why...

That's why?

That's why a small being like me can come visit.

Can you see a tear?

Do you remember that we would go see the ocean?

Yes.

That's why...

We will see each other again.

When that time comes, Ms Nino,

would you help me find love?

That's also a promise.

Farewell...

Ms Nino.

Riku, you've changed.

Can you stop talking to me?

But you know, Riku.

You are perfectly rock right now.

Right, Mayor?

You called?

I'm sure tomorrow would be great.

Well, let's go drink.
