Adults often said that I sleep on the go.

Hey! Where are you going?

Please take me and my package to the city.

Usually it is carried by my brother, but he has a cold.

I'm here instead of... him...

That's it...

Don't sit like that, there's scattered gravel everywhere.

First I'll take the nori, then I'll buy stuff for my brother and sister and go home.

Yeah...

Look.

Here we are.

Oh! Don't sleep on the go.

In This

Corner of

the World

I lost my way in the city.

Then I saw an uncle with a basket.

Suzu, who is this?

The monster.

Eh?

He said to me: "Climb up and look into your telescope".

How well you can see!

I fell inward, and there was an unfamiliar boy.

He steals children, and he also stole me.

That's bad.

I need to return by evening to feed the chickens.

I also need to see my father at the station.

Me too, me too...

If I don't get there before sunset, trouble will happen to me.

What's the trouble with him?

Now, see for yourself.

Uncle, uncle.

Aw, what?

There's something strange, just look.

And where is that?

At night, the monsters sleep soundly.

We're leaving him without dinner, poor fellow.

Thanks, Urano Suzu.

Oh, how do you know my name?

Thanks, Urano Suzu.

Hey, stop making noise!

Maybe I was sleeping on the go.

But everything that happened that day was like a dream.

Usually the sea looks like this.

And at low tide it becomes like that.

For the first time, we're going to the sea without adults. That's great!

I'll say "Good morning, uncle, aunt and grandmother from Kusatsu."

And mom and dad will be back in town.

"Here's your watermelon."

Ah! Give it to me, I want to carry it!

Quiet!

Here, it's your turn to carry it.

My brother is always strict.

Wait...

Good morning.

Dad and Mom...

Here... the watermelon...

Thanks, I'll take it away.

Our little beauty.

Every year my grandmother sews a new kimono for me.

Here we are.

Mom and Dad returned from the city with shopping and we went to the cemetery.

The weather is good.

What's going on now in Eba?

Well, times are not all that simple.

And that's right...

Lot of things happened.

But we children seemed to be fearless at the time.

Even when seeing something unusual.

Good afternoon.

Say... do you want me to get more watermelon?

Mom.

Hey, the tide's going to be over soon.

Come on, wake up.

And you too, Sumi.

Come on.

Put it in the corner, she'll eat it.

Uh-huh, tell me... if you leave her a kimono, will she dress?

Suzu, you're a kind girl.

They mentioned in school that it was a Zashiki-warashi house spirit.

My brother explained everything to me.

It seemed that both people and nature became a little kinder.

You left a new kimono in Kusatsu?

Go take it back. Idiot!

My brother is the devil himself.

I forgot how terrible my brother was.

Suzu, lower it further!

It's not going to blow in the wind.

Uh-huh.

Mom, give me a couple yen.

My pencil's out.

You always buy one when you have money.

And you draw nothing but horrible stuff.

Sumi, want to exchange pencils?

Nope.

Suzu, is Mizuhara Tetsu at school every day?

Eh? I think so...

It's cold!

It's so short.

Is it enough for a whole week?

Look, you shouldn't drop it there.

A drawing lesson on a free topic.

Those who are done can go home.

Yes!

Let's draw over here.

Hmm, not bad.

Good work, Urano.

Suzu is such an artist.

I came back!

I'll go and collect some dry needles.

Be safe.

Mizuhara, you won't go home until you finish your picture?

Go home?

My parents drink all day, they don't even collect nori.

I don't want to draw the sea... I hate it.

Urano, reach out your hand.

This is for you.

Can I take it?

Take it, it's my brother's pencil.

The rabbits are jumping.

When they rolled over, everything was the same.

Draw me something, even though this is a stupid sea.

Mizuhara, what kind of rabbits are these?

What?

Ah... the foam on the waves is similar to white rabbits.

Mizuhara, take my brother.

Don't want him.

We have a rule: we see your brother, we run without looking back.

Although, still... he, at least, isn't such a fool to go study to become a sailor and immediately drown.

You know, they really look like rabbits.

Done.

I got your needles.

Thank you.

Something good happened.

Of course, now you can go home.

But such a sea... it's hard to even hate it.

The Imperial Navy is fighting bravely in the eastern waters of the Pacific...

Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!

Bloody brother is in the army

Urano Suzu

Look at that, Morita's niece is already gathering.

Exactly.

What a wonderful outfit you have.

You're doing good. Come, I made dinner.

I'm coming!

Suzu will find her husband far from here.

Right?

And for Sumi, someone close.

Like a girl holding sticks, your new house will be so close.

Granny, are you from afar?

I was born in Furue.

So it's nothing from Furue to Kusatsu.

Think of the people that are getting married in Manchuria or some other places.

Even after saying this, Urano Sumi later moved far from home.

It's not interesting to live very closely.

Suzu, hurry up back home.

We got a phone call.

They said that a man came to your house who wants to marry you. Straight from Kure.

From Kure?

Suzu, how old are you?

Nineteen... no, eighteen.

You can refuse if you don't like it, but go see him first.

Suzu, come with me.

I kept waiting for that day to come. I made something for you.

In it, you'll look like a princess.

Thank you.

The wedding ceremony will be at the groom's house.

Yes...

And in the evening he will ask you: "Have you taken an umbrella with you?".

You will answer: "Yes, I took one, completely new."

He will say: "Can I take it?".

And you tell him: "Take it."

What for?

For everything.

So, I become an adult.

Once in Kure... there's a big military port there... and there's a lot of sailors...

Mizuhara?

Long-time no see...

Get home already.

Eh?

Your mother made such a mess, all the neighbors know.

Oh, I was so scared. I really thought they were giving me away to you.

Are you a fool?

I went to my brother's funeral. He drowned seven years ago.

So you don't know who he is?

Not at all.

Maybe I got confused with Sumi.

She will be more beautiful.

Or maybe not.

It seems that he met her somewhere when he was studying at a local school.

But it wasn't easy to find you.

Three years ago I decided to stop collecting nori and went to work at the factory.

She will come back soon.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

Help yourself.

I had some kind of caramel taste in my mouth.

I don't know why.

It's really cold.

It's a mess.

I can refuse if I want to.

But how can I decide if I don't know him at all...

Sorry to intrude.

Yes?

We got lost in the city.

Where is the train stop?

Over there.

Forgive us.

A young sailor already showed us the way.

Ah, it's a little weird here.

They got lost in the mountains, but a little strange woman helped them out.

Hiroshima

Hiroshima

Kaitaichi

Yano

Saka

Coyaura

Why am I so confused?

When did I become so?

It was a long trip.

The train will enter the tunnel, close all the windows.

It's hard to breathe.

Kure! Kure!

This is the training fleet.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Is the bus broken again?

Oh, Mrs. Kobayashi.

Welcome, Mrs. Kobayashi.

The weather is good today.

All that matters is that everyone is healthy.

From now on, I'll be grateful to you.

I beg your indulgence for my foolishness.

I'm Kobayashi, the groom's aunt. I'll be a matchmaker at the ceremony.

She did not even remember the name of the groom.

This unreasonableness frightens me.

Oh, how high they we climb.

It seems their house is above all others.

This way, please.

HOUJO

They're here!

Forgive me that the ceremony is so modest and not crowded.

It's ok, my daughter is very shy, it's even better.

Suzu.

In fact, I wonder why I dressed in this kimono.

Why are you undressing, Suzu?

This is a feast.

It's a pity that our elder son could not come.

Now it's hard to get together.

Thank you for bringing so many nori and vegetables with you.

Eat more. We must all eat without fail until the evening.

And the roast is also very tasty.

Lucky for you, he's such a quiet guy.

I think there's not a single troublemaker in the whole house.

Unless you become one.

Don't forget us, come visit.

Be happy with your stay!!

Bye!

I'll be back.

Err.. who is she?

Well, she's someone that will help with the household chores so you can rest more.

Yes.

Mother, father.

From now on, I will be gracious to you.

We're happy, too.

My legs hurt, thanks for the help, Suzu.

Of course.

I'm sorry. When Keiko cooks, she burns everything.

Yeah, she's his married older sister.

It's lighting from the training ships.

Where is mom and dad now?

Thanks for the futon.

Uh-huh.

Oh, Suzu...

What?

Did you took an umbrella?

Yes. I absolutely did... a new one...

Can I take it?

Here you go.

Hungry?

Well, it's not ripe yet.

You have not eaten anything for a day.

You do eat with your mouth, like everyone else. It's calming.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

I drink like everyone else. Also with my mouth.

Listen, have we seen each other before?

Have we seen? You don't remember?

Sorry, I'm a little distracted.

It was a long time ago.

But I remember this birthmark well.

We collect water from a common well nearby.

Have a good trip.

It seems that everyone here has work connected with the fleet.

Yes.

Upper Naganoka's neighbors association

Starting February 24, will work on the distribution of products: Tita, Houjou and Karia. From the 24th (Tuesday), regular meetings At 7 pm in the Naganoki association's building.

The transmitted board

The distribution?

With this couple, it won't be easy.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Tita.

And I'm Karia.

This again?

What's wrong again?

You just measure it by eye.

Coming.

It's not fair.

It's fair.

How can it be?

What else?

Well, why do you do this?

How should I?

Hold it, hold it.

You're splashing like this.

Oy-yoy-yoy-yoy-yoy.

I'm sorry.

Don't underestimate the danger of incendiary bombs.

In case of one hitting your house,

it is necessary to take measures to neutralize it.

Depending on the type of bomb, the measures can be different.

The main thing at that moment is not to panic.

Sit closer... well, it's cold today.

This has become my everyday life.

Ah, this is Keiko's old dress.

Now it's gathering dust.

Once she was walking in it with her fiancé.

In the cinema, at the fairs and in the expensive restaurants.

Sister can be really fashionable.

It was a completely different time back then.

Shūsaku was in the fourth grade when they ceased to build warships after the peace conference.

My husband, like many others, lost his job.

And Keiko stated that her husband and herself would find their own work.

Okay, I'll try not to give it up.

It seemed back then that things couldn't go worse.

I really miss that time.

Good afternoon.

I'm home.

Welcome back, sister.

Shame.

Why is this? It seems quite fit rice to me.

I'm talking about you!

You're from Hiroshima, are you not?

I thought you had some taste.

So what are these patched pants?

Are you grilling beans?

Girls should dress decently. Are not you ashamed of yourself?

Oh, welcome back, Harumi.

Although I obeyed, Mom was angry all day for some reason.

I'm sorry, but I have nothing else.

True?

So take it!

And the rice in that sack is not a gift. It's my and Harumi's share.

What's with you, Keiko?

Please understand, mother...

Yes, well, I tried.

Ouch!

Well, again. No, not like that.

No one's will ever get married to you like that.

Well, it's not really necessary.

She's got a belt...

Yeah, I see.

Cut, unfold, cut again.

Fold and sew.

Sew a rubber band and it's ready for business. Let's do it.

I'm Kuromaru Harumi.

Hojo Suzu, good afternoon.

Suzu, lend me some thread.

Is this okay?

Wow.

Suzu, are you leaving?

Yes, for the distribution.

I will go myself, give me the purse and the card.

Okay, be safe.

Welcome back.

Enough, let me do it.

Eh?

Listen, Mom!

Yes, yes, what do you want...

Where are all the pots?

Oh, Keiko and Harumi came back.

Together?

Welcome back, Dad.

Well, have a good rest.

Wow... My sister cooked, but nothing burned out.

Listen, Shūsaku!

You know, sister told me how to sew a new kimono.

It's nothing.

My mother has aching legs.

A girl like you probably doesn't know how to help.

I'll stay here for a while.

Suzu, don't you want to go to Hiroshima?

Eh?

That's okay.

The castle of Hiroshima. Urano Suzu.

I'm home.

Oh, I'm tired.

Welcome back.

It's eight already.

There was a lot of work.

Is that belt a "sennninbari"? (千人針 thousand-person-stitches belt)

Yes. Sumi, will you also make a stitch?

Yes.

Hey, Suzu, it's time to wake up!

Y..yes!

Here, sit down and have supper.

Oh, I dreamed that I got married and left for Kure.

Are you awake now?

Yes.

Well, my husband's sister said, "go to Hiroshima."

I don't quite understand why.

Ah! To visit?

And, mom and dad, you said to me, "we're so sorry that we haven't noticed so far."

"Go, stay two or three days with your relatives," his sister said.

If you want to go, we don't mind.

Did you write to Yoichi in the army?

Yeah, I wrote.

But no answer... it didn't come.

They are far away.

And they probably are not up to it.

Most likely the address was confused.

Bath! Bath!

Sumi, is it hard to be a volunteer?

I got used to it already.

All the engines stinks of oil.

Dangerous work is terrible.

It's not as cold as the nori harvesting, and there are good sides.

A nice lieutenant sometimes secretly gives me coupons for lunch.

Oh, Wicked.

Be careful not to hear any military secrets inadvertently.

Suzu, how are you coping? Is Kure a good place?

I'm still just sorting it out.

I think I just found out a very important military secret.

What are you talking about?

Good night.

Suzu.

What?

You have a bald spot.

What!?

Bye Suzu, I'm going to work!

Victory requires special measures.

Starting next month, even short trips will be limited.

Take care of yourself.

Well, I have a job in the women's association.

What? You work too?

Dad gave me some money.

Farewell.

Farewell, Hiroshima.

To date, all tickets SOLD

Hiroshima Station

And you came back here?

I already sympathize with your new family.

I'm back.

His sister still lives with us.

Mom, give me an inkwell.

I'm not going to, Harumi.

Give me.

Suzu, what did you say to Harumi?

Can I pass the board on?

Take it.

I'm going.

She has been like that since she came back from Hiroshima.

It's nothing, she's just being childish.

Thank you for your concern.

Well give me.

I clearly said no.

Please.

You don't need it!

Welcome back.

Field grass?

Yes. It can be added to the food.

Here, all the dandelions are white.

And they are not in Eba?

Oh, that one is still yellow.

It must have been brought from afar.

I wondered why you were so down. Did you fall in love in Hiroshima?

Not at all.

Look! There!

The aircraft carriers arrived today.

Ship and carriers, I guess.

The big ones.

And these small ships are destroyers.

There are also submarines from Germany.

And similar to an ordinary ship, their mother ship.

Oh, the dandelion's seed are flying.

Where?

Yes, over there.

I can see for myself.

Shūsaku, what is this?

Is it a ship?

It's the Yamato.

The largest warship in the world, built in our local port.

And there are people on it?

Yes.

There's a team of two thousand seven hundred.

Two thousand seven hundred people?

Exactly.

Tell her "welcome home", Suzu.

Does someone cook food for all these people every day?

Suzu.

And more laundry...

I'm sorry.

You didn't hurt yourself?

No, I think I'm okay.

You know, Suzu, if you're too nervous, you'll grow bald faster.

You noticed.

Please, let me paint Suzu's bald spot.

If I give it to you, you'll be covered in ink from head to toe.

And then his sister returned to her husband's house.

It's time for me to cook dinner.

Confidence in getting some can't be bought with money.

We don't know when new arrival will happen.

Do the queue again.

Today Everything's sold out.

There are less and less products being distributed.

Only four sardines per family of four.

Mom!

But at least I can add something to the usual greens.

It's necessary to do the queue to buy soybean pulp.

Ah, I see.

Violet, stellaria, horsetail.

Dandelion, sourdough, dried sardines, soybean pulp.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat flour, plum seeds.

Cut the sweet potatoes.

Macerate the leaves in boiling water.

Mix them with wheat flour and put everything together.

And dinner is ready.

Without Keiko around, it's so quiet.

What's not eaten, you can dry it.

So, let's continue.

Fill rice with five times the volume of water and cook the porridge.

Add the pieces of potatoes and cook for another 10 minutes.

Now we put the leaves of the stellaria.

We cut the daikon and dandelion root.

Fry them with sugar and soy sauce.

We add dandelion leaves and soybean pulp. A little more frying.

Cover with the remaining daikon, add some leaves and salt.

Pour water in miso-nabe, add the plum seeds and boil it.

Add the sardines to make a broth and don't put the lid.

Add salt to taste.

That's great. Did Karia teach you that?

The ration of rice was reduced by half.

We'll eat porridge from sweet potatoes.

Okay.

Tomorrow I will prepare something interesting again.

The loyal Kusunoki, when resisting at the gate, came up with ways to make the rice reserve last longer.

First fry the rice well.

Add a three-fold portion of water and simmer on a small fire.

To save rice and not to waste firewood for nothing,

Trust his great Japanese invention: a fireless cooker.

We wait till tomorrow.

We warm up yesterday's fish broth, add violet and miso.

In the morning we stoke the fire and finish the rice.

It's ready!

The famous Kusunoki Masashige rice!

I filled Dad's bento with it.

Wow, what a big portion today.

The rice is all swollen.

Is there really such a way of cooking?

Yes.

We're going to eat.

We are going.

Sorry to see you go.

If Kusunoki ate this voluntarily, he really was a great hero.

Probably...

Air alarm!

Air alarm!

There's nothing on the radio.

Is Shūsaku still at work?

Yes.

But if you think from the enemy's way of view, it's logical to start bombing Kyūshū.

There's no point hitting here in the mountains.

They just turned off the lights.

Be careful up there.

They should remove those houses.

The city needs a fire wall.

Right.

But we'll definitely not do it.

Poor things.

They will have to look for a new home.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

There will be plenty of firewood.

Because my house was wrecked.

That's bad.

He had to go to Simonoseki.

This is not a good thing, I am directly divorced.

Don't worry, I'll find a job and I will not be a freeloader.

It should be taken into account that there is more people around now.

Will that do?

Yeah.

Yesterday they fired from the very top of the Hagamine mountain.

How did they bring the guns so high?

Everything is becoming more and more dangerous.

Thank you so much.

And you, too.

Well, the shelter became famous.

Yes.

It has been hard work, my legs can't hold me anymore.

Keiko helped us out, bringing tatami boards from home.

Shūsaku, why is she here?

Simply, it happened.

But now we need to clean up.

Shūsaku, should I take this earth into the fields?

Yes, of course, just be careful.

Ah, you're here, too.

Yeah, I'm watching the ships.

Today a lot of them have gathered.

The Yamato is the biggest. The second one is the Musashi.

There are many cruisers, but there are no aircraft carriers.

This is the Tone, she has no towers behind her.

Is she an aircraft carrier?

Wow, that's great. How much you know.

Yeah. I learned this from my brother.

I see. I also know something.

These are destroyers.

Yeah.

And there's something small floating around.

It's a boat.

Do you want me to tell you something?

Do you see that huge cloud?

Yeah.

These are called "anvils".

Yes.

Oh, and it will rain very hard.

Eh?

Shūsaku!

Let's hide in here for now.

Thanks.

I can do it myself.

Are you very fond of ships?

What?

I spoke with Harumi.

Ah... It was not I who taught Harumi.

It was He-bo.

Hee?

Yes. He also likes ships.

One day you will meet him.

This Hisao, is this him?

Yes.

Now we kiss beside his name.

Well, it was just a little sprinkle.

You can go home already.

Listen...

This is fine when the family has a friendly relationship.

Yes, husband and wife that loves each other. How lovely.

Keiko?

They really were close to each other, both so tall.

Could it be that something happened to her husband?

He was tall and thin, he was not even accepted into the army.

He probably was too thin.

When my father found a new job, my sister went to buy him a present.

She met a young merchant.

Kuromura Watch Shop

They got married and ran a watch shop together.

But you know what kind of character Keiko is.

She quarreled with all of his family.

Then her husband died and she had to manage the shop alone.

Then there was some demolition and now, there is nothing left.

Hisao is still the heir of the Kuromura family.

He is now in Simonosaki.

Naturally, it's hard for her.

An happy family, where everyone smiles.

Probably.

I'll quickly go check the beds.

Such simple things, but I didn't understand them for several months.

How stupid I am.

This is the Yamato.

Like this.

Well, I'm just...

Military police Kempeitai.

It's just a drawing for my niece.

Do you know this woman?

Ke... Kempei?

To make sketches of the coastline is an act of espionage!

Her face looks so innocent, but who knows what insidious plans ripen in her heart.

This woman's husband serves as a clerk in the naval court.

Maybe she's looking for a way to steal military secrets?

Maybe she tried to send signals to someone?

Maybe you found tables with codes in her things?

Maybe you're hiding something? Confess!

Consider that you got off lightly.

Keep an eye on her, now no one can be trusted.

I'm home.

Why are all the clothes scattered around?

Oh, Shūsaku, Suzu was almost arrested.

Suzu, come here.

Although in such a small book, you won't be able to draw much.

You really like drawing so much, will you draw me sometime?

It's probably better not to draw you.

We have a spy in Suzu.

Shūsaku, how can you hold back?

We so apologized to them.

And they bursted out laughing.

When you try not to laugh, your face gets even weirder.

It was like she didn't notice anything around her.

For some people, a naive person seems so cunning.

The only thing Suzu remembers about my job is that it ends at six in the evening.

I'm also a military secret, the Kempeitai are so dumb.

I don't understand anything, but it's still funny.

An happy family, where everyone smiles.

Indeed...

I'm home.

Dad, it was like that right now!

For some reason, I'm not the only one who's funny.

And they asked where her code tables were.

I could hardly restrain myself.

The war is on, the cicadas are singing, and the butterflies are flying.

It's so hot.

Attention Starting in August The delivery of sugar will stop, Hurry up to get some

What, there won't be any sugar?

When the air raids began in June, the war seemed to be very close.

Where is she going now?

Ow.

Harumi, I'm sorry.

I'm ok. There are a lot of ants.

I wonder where they all creep to?

Not the sugar, it's too expensive!

SUGAR

We must put it where the ants won't reach it.

Where do we find such a place?

What? What's wrong with you?

We thought that if put it in water, the ants wouldn't get to it.

Take the money. Go and buy more.

I've never been here before.

Try it.

If there are no products anywhere, why is there so many people?

Taiwanese rice from old stocks.

Next entry planned At the end of the month

And then our own local production is no worse.

Wait, aren't watermelons forbidden to grow?

What's this?

It's like it was the summer before the war.

Twenty yen for a kin.

*1 kin = 600 grams

Fifty times more than at the distribution?

Tomorrow, it will become even more expensive.

Mom's money plus this month's living allowance are only 25 yen.

buy

Not buy

Kaki no dance.

If sugar is now about 150 yen, then you can't buy caramel for 100 yen.

Soon it will be a thousand yen just for three pairs of socks.

What will happen to the country, how will it survive?

Wait, where did I get to?

Naganoki? It's behind the military cemetery.

Although, there also Nagasako.

In that direction.

No, over there.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's nothing.

A watermelon?

Yes.

Caramel?

Yes.

You're lost?

Yes.

And to say you are an adult... Where are you from?

Naganoki.

Sister, no one's telling me the way.

And then everyone is smiling instead, maybe I'm in a fairy tale?

Naganoki, it's right past the post office, and then...

Wait here.

Sister, can I leave?

From this point, you go straight over there.

And then behind the post office, you go right two time and then straight ahead.

Thank you so much!

No one here knows the city well.

Almost everyone are from different places and never leave the district.

You don't look like you're from Hiroshima... maybe from the coast?

Yeah from over there. How do you know?

Your accent.

Are you from Eba?

No, from Kusatsu.

Kusatsu!

I went there every year to see my grandmother and eat watermelon.

Our family was poor, I only got watermelon's skins.

Although, one time, some good people gave me a taste of the core.

That was a long time ago.

Maybe you could draw something for me?

For something to remember... here...

As easy as pie.

I can draw anything, just say it.

Mint candies! Ferns cookies!

Mint...

Ice cream in a waffle cone.

A waffle cone?

You don't know? You never went to a café?

Enough time off already!

I'm sorry, I have to go.

I'll draw you something the next time.

No. You shouldn't come here again.

You'll get lost again.

You were gone a long time. I thought you got lost in the city.

Sister, do you know what's an ice cream in a waffle cone?

You don't know?

Oh you.

It's sweet and cold, with a crispy shell, the best dessert.

Ah, there was a time...

There...

Just remembering something that delicious is making simple water seems sweeter.

The heat isn't subsiding.

Mrs. Hojo, you have a phone call.

What? For me?

Ah, here it is.

It's so hot.

So you're going to go like that? Are you not ashamed?

Let's take a walk, it's not that far.

Well, how are things with the police?

Without incident.

Good. Well then, you can...

Shūsaku, I brought your notebook.

Eh?

Ah, Suzu!

You're so pale, are you well?

What? I look strange?

No, you look all right.

Let's go.

Eh? What about work?

I deliberately left the notebook at home so I could be free.

You said you wanted to go shopping.

What are you doing?

You're sure you're ok?

It's my turn to burst out laughing.

I thought I'd take you to the movies.

But then a big ship came to port.

We'll have to give up, but we'll go some other time.

Suzu?

Many of my former classmates are now in the Navy.

What if I see one of them?

You just greet them normally.

If I meet someone I know from the past, he could wake me up from my dream.

Your dream?

I have a different name and address, and not an easy and simple life.

But you've always been kind to me.

And a good friend too.

I don't want to wake up right now.

If this is the real me, then so much the better.

I see.

Past events, unselected paths.

They are all like broken dreams.

Suzu, for me, the best reality is the one in which I chose you.

You're so skinny, I'm worried.

You know, I felt hungry in the last few days.

Here, double scoop.

HOSPITAL

You ate a lot in the morning, now that's enough.

Great, back to the usual portion.

I'll go ask first.

Okay.

Who's there? Wow, a real sailor!

I went out for water, and we accidentally met.

I'm Mizuhara Tetsu, a sailor from the ship Aoba.

The Aoba is a heavy cruiser.

Behave, Harumi.

It's winter right now and he's tan.

So, would you like to wash up with us?

We were given some free time for washing up.

I didn't know where to go, but I remembered Suzu and decided to ask around for her.

Thank you for taking care of her.

Suzu used to draw skillfully and harvest nori.

There's probably no benefit from her.

So just ask, and I'll take her back.

Don't be insolent! "Suzu-Suzu"... Did I allow you to call me that?

And how should I call you?

You're not Urano anymore.

Eh?

Suzu, don't be rude to our guest.

What's so funny?

It's interesting.

You're so ordinary.

It's delicious! Delicious!

Eat for health.

This is heaven.

Suzu, will you rub my back?

Idiot!

Suzu, where's the light bulb?

I think it's in the table drawer.

I see.

When I grow up, I'll also become a sailor.

That's our thing.

Drink.

Thanks for the treat.

Best regards.

Good night.

Good night.

It's a good thing.

Well, I'm going too.

How's the Aoba now?

We were damaged in Manila, we managed to crawl back for repairs.

She's a good ship. She's still afloat after everything that happened.

Shūsaku, when everyone die around you, It's haunting to still be alive.

Mizuhara, my father isn't here tonight and I'm in charge.

I'm sorry, but I'm not letting you stay in the house.

He's going to sleep in the barn's attic.

And you're harsh with him. I haven't seen you like this before.

Here, the bed-stove. Bring it to him.

Talk to him tonight, there may not be another time.

I'm sorry about the barn.

After the hanging beds, this is paradise.

Here, it will warm you up while we talk.

Okay.

Here, this is for you.

Really?

Do you want to write with it?

Yes.

Just like that.

It's working!

It's working.

A bird that looked like a heron flew over us in the middle of the ocean.

Herons can fly over the ocean.

Exactly.

In Eba, they live near the river all year round.

Yes, there's really a lot in Eba.

It seems I forgot how to draw them.

Even you don't always get out?

It's been a long time since you painted?

Yeah.

Remember those rabbits on the waves?

I remember.

Oh, and there were problems with them.

Eh? Why is that?

You don't remember?

The teacher sent that drawing to the city competition, and it managed to take a prize.

But I didn't draw it, imagine how awkward I was.

It was you that was supposed to win.

Suzu, you're so warm, so soft, you smell like...

Mizuhara.

It think I waited a long time for this day to come.

You came back like this... wanting to be so close to me!

How can I... Ah! Now I'm angry with you!

I'm sorry, really sorry.

Do you love your husband?

Yes.

You're still so ordinary.

Sorry.

You get angry when you're supposed to be. Sorry about that.

So, you don't want me to pick you up?

You were forced to leave for him, it doesn't matter?

No.

Well, that's good.

He's four years older?

Shūsaku?

He's the age of my drowned brother.

We were poor, so my brother had to go to the nautical school.

He died, and I took his place.

That's the way it is.

But somewhere, I turned off the road laid ahead for an ordinary person.

But...

I'm relieved that you live a normal life.

If I die, don't pray for me.

Just remember me and smile.

I just wish you'd been at the end of road of the most ordinary man in the world.

Suzu!

What?

You have become a beauty.

Don't be foolish!

In fact, since childhood, it was hard for me to find the right words for you.

Tetsu Thank you for the feather. Thank you for growing up as a worthy person. Come back alive and healthy. Suzu.

The remains of the deceased warrior Miyamoto Teru

The remains of the lost warrior Urano Yoichi

The remains of the deceased warrior Kawauti Tahai

Welcome back, brother.

There was a pebble instead of dust in the box.

It was so small and smooth.

Is that a piece of his skull?

Maybe it's not him?

Then what happened to him?

And why was it necessary to convoke everyone in such a cold weather?

Our Yoichi could not have died so easily.

People are so fragile.

I can't remember his face, not even his voice.

Shūsaku.

Thank you for that time.

When you let me talk to Mizuhara.

My pleasure.

However, Shūsaku, you trust our couple to this degree?

I made you leave for me.

And didn't even notice that you were angry.

And you're not noticing now?

Ooooh. Are you angry now?

You just don't care!

Ooooh.

Then why are you wearing a leaky socks today?

You gave them to me, so I put them on.

They were different!

Listen, can you fight at home?

Are you confusing the road again? This way.

I know.

To the right. In the direction of Mount Higamine.

Yes, I know!

A lot of snow fell this winter and spring was delayed.

♪ Just look, snowflakes fly straight from the sky.

♪ Like thousands of tiny white roses, they fall down.

Come on, you're so obedient, the teacher won't scold you.

Really? Is it scary at school?

Not at all.

You don't have any friends here.

For example, when I moved here, I was all alone.

And now I made friends with everyone.

And with my mom too?

Put your hood on.

Harumi!

It's like paint on a large canvas.

What am I thinking about?

What are you standing there for? Lie down and press against the wall.

Welcome back.

Yeah, it's a good time to be welcome.

Be careful, shards can get here.

Ow!

Just listen.

Eh?

This sound of our engines is 2000 horsepower.

We worked day and night in the factory to improve them.

We started with the usual type-95, with a capacity of only 500 horsepower.

New technologies and hard work.

For the sake of eternal peace and prosperity.

We spare no effort...

What's the horse power of our enemies?

Say, the horse power of our enemies?

Dad!

The raid is over!

He worked night shift relentlessly.

And during the raid, he just laid down on the ground and fell asleep.

I was so scared!

After the raid, we collected a lot of dead fish.

Small!

And you draw a big one, and it will become bigger.

Air alarm! Air alarm!

Put your hood on, put out the lights.

Remove the paper doors.

Take the essentials and go to the shelter.

The raid is over!

It's not cooked at all.

Japanese Imperial Women's union

What a pain.

Her husband and elder brother were killed in the war, now they are taking their son to the army.

Congratulations.

Wear your protective hood.

Extinguish the lights.

Remove the paper doors.

Set the Fire-fighting...

You can't see a thing.

Ay.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Whose cat is this?

How many alerts is it?

It's the first time I see this.

10:43. Heavy bombers are coming from Tokuyama.

Tokuyama is launching.

Thirty targets seen in the southeast of Tokushima prefecture are moving towards Kure.

The raid is over!

More than 125 B-29 bombers participated in the raid.

Hiro's naval arsenal suffered serious damage.

I'm home.

But the number of casualties is minimal.

Are you okay, Shūsaku?

And father?

He didn't come back.

I see.

Suzu, put out the fire.

Suzu, you're so small.

What?

You're still small.

So what?

Nothing.

I'm just telling you the truth.

Dad's going to be fine.

There's a uniform.

Eh?

In that package.

Starting the 15th, we're becoming part of the army.

I'm a soldier now, and I am going to exercise with the fleet.

I won't be here for three months.

But then you'll come back?

Probably.

Are you going to be okay, Suzu?

You're so small and skinny.

If there are no men left to hold the fort, will you be able to protect it?

No.

No way!

I'm sorry, that's not true.

I love you.

But in three months, I'm going to forget your face.

Suzu.

I'll be waiting for you in this house.

If it's not there, I might not find you.

May 6 Sunday.

May 8 Tuesday.

May 10. Thursday. Air alarm.

May 11. Friday. Two alarms in the morning.

May 12. Saturday. There was no alarm.

May 13. Sunday. Only a siren three times.

And now you won't forget?

It was just a saying.

No, not in your case.

Let me see how you drew me.

No way.

This is a military secret.

Well, I'm leaving.

Have a safe trip.

Shūsaku, you and I are on our way.

Yes.

You've become a real sailor.

The house just became completely empty.

For Ms. Hojo!

Hiroshima Prefecture, Kure, Upper Naganoki, 808

He was supposed to get to the factory hospital.

Wow...

That's why they couldn't find him.

Dad was wounded in the stomach and on the head, but he's almost recovered.

I'll take his watch for repairs.

This is a rare occasion to see the Kuromura in Simonoseki for a short while. I'll go tomorrow.

To the place where brother lives?

I'm going.

Will you take me?

Is this a school?

It's a school. But now there's only gymnastics in there.

It's going to take a long time.

While I'm buying a ticket, can you and Harumi go see Papa at the hospital?

All right, come with me, Harumi.

We'll go see the fleet base?

Yes.

Why are you frowning?

They make the best bamboo spears in the world over there.

Are you stupid? My husband's parents are terrible people.

Just seeing you like this is unusual...

And what should I do with a bamboo spear?

Is Simonosaki far?

Yes.

Next to Hiroshima?

Much farther.

That way?

Here's the hospital, be quiet.

They're listening to enemy songs?

I made you worry.

I was unconscious all the time until June.

What's important is that you're alive.

And now we will take the train and go see my brother.

Are you? Well, the sooner, the better.

Uncle, what ship are you from?

From mine trawler number 16.

I've learned a lot of news over here.

Hiro's arsenal has been destroyed.

The whole fleet wants to be transferred to the army command.

Suzu, they sunk the Yamato.

The Yamato?

Yes.

She moved in front of the fleet, diverting enemies onto herself.

The inner Sea of Japan now belongs to the enemy.

So the rabbits are on the waves now...

Really? Really?

What?

Nothing.

I would advise the same.

Harumi should be sent to her father's family.

It'll be much safer there.

What about sister...

Listen, Suzu.

Yes?

Let's see from over there?

I'll tell my brother what ships we have here.

I can't see anything.

Let's keep going. Let's keep going.

I can't see.

There's trouble, what to do?

We don't have time to get back home. There should be a public shelter somewhere.

Is there really something flying?

They usually just try to scare us and fly away.

09:23. North-east of Tokuyama, enemy aircrafts going towards Kure.

Looks like the really are flying.

Excuse me, can we come with you?

Come in.

Red alert! Faster!

Suzu, I'm afraid.

Don't worry, look.

Mama?

Yes, and who is this?

Harumi?

Here you are with your mother.

You must be from afar.

We're here to visit the hospital. From Naganoki.

You're out of luck.

Here they are! Close your ears, open your mouth, bend your head!

It's hot.

Bend down.

Excuse me, can we have some water?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

We're not too late for the train?

The train couldn't leave, it waiting for us.

I can't see anything!

Are you okay over there?

Yes!

It's dangerous to stand there. There could be unexploded bombs. Go away.

What? Thank you for your work!

Say, Suzu, are you going to draw my brother?

Craters from unexploded bombs are not large.

According to the latest civil defense reports,

Part of the bombs dropped by the enemy...

Let's go, Harumi!

Okay, here we go again. Not like that.

No one's will ever get married to you like that.

I think I've been told this a lot, but I'm already married.

Watermelon.

Ferns biscuits.

Mint candies.

If the road had a ditch, we could have hidden in it.

In my left hand, things.

In my right hand, Harumi.

If it were the other way around.

I could have thrown off my sandals and ran.

Further down the slope, to the other side...

This is the Tone, and that one's the Hyuga.

Mom, this is the Yamato.

She... she looks so much like Shuusaku.

I should have followed... I really should have followed you...

I'm sorry. Forgive me, Harumi.

I'm sorry, sister.

Murderer!

Murderer!

Don't, Keiko.

Give me back Harumi!!

The tofu distribution will begin soon.

She's grieving, don't let it go in your head.

It is good that at least you are alive.

Really?

There's a place for everyone in this world.

Rin.

Yes?

And then? Where was my cherished place?

In that fence there could have been a broken board.

And the wind from the explosion would have carried us.

Far, far from there.

Well, here we are again.

I can't hear the planes. Keep sleeping.

Nothing will happen to the house?

Of course, don't worry.

I'm glad.

Liar.

That woman...

If our house were broken, I could go away from the city.

Don't force yourself.

You know, we don't have the time to relax.

See you later.

Looks like the Sun came out.

Let me tie you up.

The central region's defense reports.

23:50. Two targets are observed in the bay of Hiroshima.

There are two targets over the Suo Strait. There is also two more targets above the Bungo Channel.

And also in the northeast are seen...

Are you awake, Suzu?

23:58. A lot of enemy planes are circling over Hiroshima and Kure.

Like this.

23:58. A lot of enemy planes are circling over Hiroshima and Kure.

They say that there are many planes. But you can't even see their shadows.

Flare bombs?

Suzu, come with us more quickly.

Let's get outta here!

Suzu? Why aren't you coming?

Hurry up!

Suzu! Suzu!

Suzu, why are you staying?

Water! More water!

Well, we got it.

Defense of the central region.

00:30. The enemy air group flew over the Bungo Channel.

In addition, one more air group is approaching the Bungo Channel and three more were seen in the southern waters.

End of message.

Careful.

So that's it.

One-two.

This is JOFK. The transmitting station of Hiroshima.

Residents of Kure, hang on!

Residents of Kure, hang on!

To the affected inhabitants of Kure, Hiroshima sends rice.

Distribution will be in Ito Park!

And where will I get my I.D.?

The government don't know yet.

My house burned down.

They didn't get into the bomb shelter and remained alive.

Can I get that bandage?

Take it.

Here, eat it while it's hot. I kept them in the subfield and they were all baked.

Thank you.

And for my sister...

Oh, the heat, it's so hot.

Is there anyone from Sinonome?

There was no fire break in Asahimachi. Almost everything burned out.

I see.

Suzu!

Hey. Are you hurt?

What about your training?

They stopped it.

It's a good thing you're alive.

And now I suddenly want to sleep.

Suzu!

"We'll find a cool place," came to me from somewhere.

Suzu! What are you doing?

It's a good thing...

It's a good thing that she had time to put it out.

It's a good thing it wasn't a bomb.

It's a good thing it didn't catch fire.

It's a good thing that it's healing so quickly.

Good, good, good...

I no longer know what is good.

In June, I held Harumi with my right hand.

In May, I painted Shūsaku's face with my right hand.

In April, I took the lipstick with my right hand.

In February, I held the remains of my brother with my right hand.

Last November, I accidentally ruined my sister's kimono with my right hand.

Last August I drew a watermelon for Rin with my right hand.

Last July, the kempeitai took away the drawing made with my right hand.

Last May, I cooked Kusunoki's rice recipe with my right hand.

Last April I tore the dandelions with my right hand.

Last March I drew my hometown with my right hand.

Two years ago I collected nori with my right hand.

Seven years ago in February, I drew rabbits with my right hand.

Your sister's here.

What happened to you, Suzu?

Sumi?

You came to see me?

A officer I know let me ride on the truck to help.

What's that?

So.

Here. It's old, but it's pure cotton.

Without artificial fibers?

Absolutely.

Sorry.

And here's some medlar from Ebayama.

Can you do that?

I need to do some stretching. I'll walk you halfway.

I'm expected not far from the fire station.

Why not at the observation tower on the river?

Ah, it's probably burnt.

It's still in place.

One officer from Kure showed it to me.

He's so young and kind, he used to give me coupons for lunch and movie tickets.

And he remembered that I have a married big sister here.

Are you in love?

Oh, what are you talking about, Suzu?

It hurts.

Attention 1. Food stocks have been prepared. 2. Emergency centers are fully equipped 3. Distribution of funds for the first need to start immediately Kure's City Hall

Go back to your place and continue to work. Let's go to work together. Put all your hatred in hard work. To protect your hometown we need heroic perseverance. Don't give up! 2 July, Shōwa 20. Kure's City Hall

This is awful.

Kure gets bombed endlessly, how do people endure?

It's so awful when there's no home to return to.

Listen, Suzu.

Return with us to Hiroshima.

Eh?

It's almost not bombed.

Brother is no more, no one's going to hurt you.

It's tempting.

At the same time I could see if your young officer is really cute.

It's not fair.

Yes, I'm joking.

Bye then.

I'm skewed.

Think about it.

Next month, on the 6th, there will be a festival, come back home.

Thank you, Sumi.

I was glad that my brother was dead.

I'm skewed, like drawings with my left hand.

Today they are buzzing all day. We need to take something with us.

Ouch!

Suzu, come down here.

You can't come in here.

You can't come here now!

Fly away! Fly away from here!

Fly away up the mountain! To Hiroshima!

Are you tired of living?

Forgive me.

A heron. A heron flew by.

It flew away from the sea.

Shūsaku, I want... to return to Hiroshima.

And never come back?

Are you having a hard time without a hand?

Are you afraid of the attacks?

Is it because of Harumi?

That's right.

That's right.

So it is.

I can't hear you!

Not at all.

Then why?

Suzu, I was happy.

Going back to the house where you are waiting.

Walking with you through the streets and talking about something.

Aren't you?

Were you just pretending?

I'm not listening.

I'm not listening, I'm not hearing anything!

I Want! Home! Back to Hiroshima!

Is that it? Well, go!

The enemies of the central region are not seen.

The enemies of the central region are not seen.

In Hiroshima prefecture at 07:31 the air alarm is canceled.

So the alarm has been canceled.

Well, then we're going.

Have a safe trip.

Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow.

More over there.

Oh, it's morning, it's already hot.

It will be lonely in here when Suzu leaves us.

Say, when do you want to go?

Eh?

The hospital.

Ah... by 10 o'clock.

You're not going to do that.

I'm sorry.

That one...

It doesn't need to be washed.

Today, have some free time in town.

Yes, but I'm leaving at the end of the week.

Today I need to go to the hospital.

Don't peek.

I'm sorry.

The Hospital can't keep up.

Our doctor is very busy.

You can get a doctor's statement in Hiroshima.

Just don't buy your tickets now.

Here, a gift from your sister.

I made some pants.

I sewed an elastic band so you could wear it by yourself.

Sorry if it's a little crooked.

Thank you so much.

Forgive me, I shouldn't have blamed you for Harumi.

No problem.

Kuromura Watchmaker Shop

I lost my beloved husband early.

My house got destroyed.

I couldn't see my son.

But still, I chose my own path.

You're different. You obediently moved to an unfamiliar house.

You do what you're told.

It must be a very boring life.

Maybe your cherished place is not here but somewhere else.

Anyway, it's up to you to decide.

Keiko, what was that flash?

I don't know. It's like lightning but there's not a cloud in the sky.

Still, can you help me wash this dress?

And yet...

Can I stay here?

Yes you can, you can, let me go, it's hot.

What was that?

I can't hear anything from JOFK.

Nothing?

Hey!

Yes?

Come out, take a look!

What is this cloud?

Cloud?

Do you see those huge clouds? They are called anvils.

This is Okuyama radio station. Hiroshima Station, respond. This is Okuyama radio station.

I went to see what had fallen, and this is a transfer board from Hiroshima.

Everyone who's not busy, go to the district council's building.

Isn't Tita like a nurse?

But I've never done it before.

We've never done this before.

Is that right?

Yes.

It's a shame to only have one hand.

Are you making fun of me?

Why do you need all those sandals?

We'll take them to Hiroshima. After the recent raids, the roads there are quite bad.

Shoes and Geta are not suitable.

Can I go?

Wounded can't go.

My son was also recently transferred to Hiroshima.

Will you come with me on the truck tomorrow?

The people of Hiroshima helped us when we were bombed, we also should...

Look at all those braid. There's no problem with me.

You can't go!

Again with this? Let's finish it quickly and go home.

Our family went to Hiroshima recently.

They say they dropped a new kind of bomb on Hiroshima.

It's a...

Suzu, is your family...

Mom!

People were also sent to the army base. But...

Did you also fly from Hiroshima?

He just sat here and died.

Apparently, he came on foot from Hiroshima.

We never found who he was. Both his face and body were burnt.

Keep a secret from miss Hojo.

It's a scary poor thing to look at.

I collected the eucalyptus leaves. They help with the mosquitoes.

Thank you. Hold on, be strong.

Yes.

The Urano family from Eba: Jūrō, Kiseno and Sumi

And the Morita Morita family from Kusatsu: Marino and Tizuko.

I want to be strong. Kind and strong.

As the inhabitants of our city.

Oh, come on! We will not succumb to your threats.

Let me stay here.

I was so worried and you're a fool. Fool! Fool! Fool!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry!

I didn't manage to hit anything.

I will become the laughingstock of the whole fleet.

Suzu, why did you collect enemy flyers?

You're going to be lectured by the kempeitai.

Even If you give them away, they will just burn them.

It's good paper, if you stretched it, it's fine for the toilet.

Indeed. But you will have to not let other people into the toilet.

We use everything to survive. This is our battle.

Yeah...

Come in, please.

Thank you.

Our first duty is to care for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.

For the sake of the great peace for all generations to come, we must endure the unbearable.

Strengthen the courage of the spirit, work hard to exalt the glory of the imperial state.

You just listened to the Emperor's message to the people.

It's all over.

But it comes out...

that we lost.

How's that?

They dropped these terrible bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

And the Soviets entered the war, what can you do...

How can you say that?

Shouldn't we fight to the last?

There are five of us living here!

My left hand is in place, and so are both my feet!

Harumi!

Harumi!

They are flying away.

Everything that we thought was right before.

Everything for which we have endured so much.

What about rice from behind the sea? And soybeans?

Our lives depended on them.

Is it possible to drop on your hands in front of brute force?

It would be better to die and don't know anything.

I hid it to eat together when the last day comes.

Today we will eat pure rice.

But not all of it. We'll leave some for tomorrow and the next day.

And after the fifteenth of August came the sixteenth.

And then the seventeenth.

And then September.

And October.

And November, like last year.

And the year before that and like ten years ago.

The same as always.

It's so white and shiny.

But we got nothing else.

It's all right.

And Shūsaku?

He's working.

It's the duty of the Legal Service to maintain order with the troops.

Let's eat.

The bombings have stopped so the fish are no longer dying.

That's correct.

What are we doing?

This rice needs a good light.

They finally landed.

I'm being transferred to Otake.

Until the fleet is dissolved.

The Legal Service will be needed to keep order.

If I had two hands,

I would hold on to him and share his unease.

The streets are empty.

Everyone's ready.

Consultation with victims of the air raids Kure government agencies

I'm sorry, but I'm going.

Get back home quickly.

So long.

I'll definitely come back home to you!

Of course!

The transmitted board

Upper Nagano Neighbor Association

Today's rice distribution is postponed.

It's been a long time since we last have salt and soy sauce.

Ah! Sister.

Oh, Suzu, what's the line for?

I don't know. What difference does it make?

Now everything is missing.

Indeed.

However, the city has changed a lot.

Give me!

I guess Hisao's asking me that now. And Harumi would have done the same thing.

Leftovers from the American army.

It's got piece of paper.

Yummy!

Our food is completely tasteless.

I showed the way to the American soldiers and they gave me some chocolate.

With that haircut, they took you for a child.

Hehe.

Aren't you sorry to exchange good clothes for food?

Not at all.

You know, the soldier that sat down and died near the council building, he was probably my son.

And I didn't even notice him.

Harumi died in front of your eyes.

Yes, it was terrible.

Suzu.

Suzu.

Just remember me and smile.

Remain the most common person in the world, Suzu.

Harumi.

Do you see the ship that stands in the harbor, Harumi?

You know, this is the Aoba.

Tetsu, as soon as you smile,

white rabbits appear on the waves and migratory herons in the sky.

Harumi looks and laughs.

When I think of Harumi, I smile.

I'll always be smiling now.

And rightly so.

What's the point of crying for pity.

Only salt to spend.

How delicious it is with sea salt!

Auntie, grandmother, Chizuko!

You're here.

Suzu!

Sumi?

Suzu!

Did you cut your hair?

Don't get up, you're sick.

I'm just a little dizzy.

Really?

Forgive me, dear sister.

On this cold day I will shy away from collecting the nori.

You deserve an honest rest.

If I still had my right hand, I would draw the adventures of the devil-brother to cheer you up.

The adventures? And what were they like?

When the ship he was on sank.

He swam to a tiny tropical island.

He stayed there and took a crocodile as his wife.

A crocodile, huh?

He'll never come back to Eba, our brother.

And Mom too.

Eh?

That day she went to the city, to prepare for the festival.

Dad and I searched for her for many days, but we didn't find her.

Dad got sick and died in October.

He was cremated at school with everyone.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

I'm sorry I didn't come earlier.

It's nice of you not to have been here so early.

Suzu, what's wrong with me.

Will it pass or not?

It will pass! It would be strange not to be!

Sachiko!

Excuse me.

Kyoko!

Kyoko, is that you?

In this city everyone is looking for missing relatives.

A couple of times I was mistaken for someone else.

Suzu.

REVIVAL

You're alive.

The fleet has been officially dissolved since November, and I am unemployed.

Suzu, do you remember how we first met on this bridge?

There's no going back to that time.

Us and the city, everything became different.

But I can always recognize you.

That mole on your cheek is not mistaken.

Thank you, Shūsaku.

You've found me in this corner of the world.

Don't go away anymore, be with me forever.

No no no.

I'm so lucky to get a job in Hiroshima anyway.

Yes.

But driving here is far away. I'd like to...

Thank you. You can eat it yourself.

Leave the house and settle here?

You have to take care of Sumi and Mom.

No, I'd rather come here more often.

I'm worried about Hiroshima, but I chose Kure as my home.

TICKETS

Kure! Kure!

Kure?

Yes, this is Kure.

Nine mountain peaks protect our city.

On the right, Yasumi-yama.

On the left, Hachimaki-yama

And this one, right in the center, Haigamine.

At the foot of it is our house.

Who's this kid?

Look how dirty she is!

Go and heat up the bathwater. Who's going to boil the clothes?

While she's in the tub.

Looks like she didn't wash for a long time.

Let's go to the bath.

Here's some of Harumi's old clothes. It's small enough I guess...

The seed that the bird carried

I'm breathing quietly.

What kind of scenery will spreads?

I envision it in the soil.

Let's take a peek.

I'm just a little bit scared

I want to see the world that fills my eyes

This feeling is not shaken.

When the color of the wind changes

When rainy thorns are gone

To you, this world

What does it look like?

Here I am taking roots

With a sigh in the middle of a dream

The fluff fills the sky far away

Skip it.

A wish that cannot be fulfilled

A feelings that never reach

Become a deep deep color

To dye me gently

Over that roof.

To the next town

To the garden of someone I don't know

Some of them are stepped on

Some of them are on the ship.

If you can reach your shoulder

A small fire is burning.

There's no sound in the soil

When the time comes for a free tomorrow

I'm sure I'll see you.
