Neri?

I'm back.

Why are you here?

I left Kamakura, so I came back here.

Idiot!

I wanted to see you...

I hate him.

Did you have a fight?

Not really.

Might have been a fight,
but not really.

We split up and I came.
I hate him so much!

When you're planning on coming back,

you should at least call first.
Don't surprise me!

I didn't have a phone, and
I didn't even have 10 yen.

Y'know, I was in the middle
of my bath!

Do you want me to wash
your back?

No way.

I brought this for you.

Here.

Eh?

Neri, go make miso soup or something.
Something hot!

Hm.

Okay then!

I think the water is boiling the walls.

Sorry for making you wait.

Okay.

There you go.

Hm.

I'm telling you it's good!

Alright.

Dang, it's hot!

How is it?

Neri, go to bed.

'Kay?

It's late already.

Younger Sister,
You were not very beautiful

So I was really worried

Because your husband is my friend,
Occasionally, the three of us,

Should go have a drink together

Younger Sister,
After dad and mom passed away, you...

And you alone, are my
cause for concern

Before you leave tomorrow morning,

Write me the recipe of your miso soup

Everyday Restaurant

Good morning. You're listening to
society's partner, National Radio.

The radio station without any music.

Look forward to our morning news,
coming up right after our sponsors.

Hello there.

Good morning.

Are you Neri's big brother?

Yeah, I am.

- I'm sorry.
- Huh?

Did she come back home?

Oh, so you're Kozo's...

Yes. I'm his younger sister,
Izumi Wada.

Has my brother come with her?

Huh?

So they're not together, after all.
My brother has gone missing.

- Let me speak to Neri, please!
- Oh!

Please, let me meet her!
I took the first train here!

I have to go to work right
now, so...

I couldn't sleep last night.
I have a lot to ask her!

- Okay, get into the car.
- Please.

- But...
- My sister is asleep right now.

Okay?
Here you go.

Oh, good morning!

Good morning.

- Working early today, eh?
- Yeah.

Hm? Where's your beard?

- Well, you know.
- I see.

- Drive safely.
- Thanks.

Huh?

They said they were leaving,
then they left.

- Isn't he over at a friend's?
- I tried calling them all already.

Didn't he find another woman?
That's pretty common.

I don't think so.

- Why?
- I don't know.

So, you're her sister in law, right?

- That's right.
- Hm.

Must've been hard, the three
of you living together.

It's not like that.
I was staying at the store.

They were renting an apartment
nearby, and we'd meet often.

Y'know, I think it might be better
if you don't meet Neri.

- It might be.
-Yeah.

At least for now.
I want you to leave her alone.

'Kay?

Oh, I have to take a left here.

C'mere!

C'mere!

Geez!

Izumi.

You can wait for me around there.

I have a job right now.

- I'm fine here.
- Really?

If you say so.

I'm looking for a college girl,
who's moving to Waseda.

Do you know her?

There's a lot of apartment
buildings around here, so...

Biba House

This has never happened before.
This is no good.

- Isn't there a number you can call?
- There isn't.

The call came late last night, and it
sounded like it was a from a pay phone.

Damn it, is this a joke?
Good grief!

Neri...

I'm sorry, Akio!

I got it.
Damn it, that call...

That was you!

I didn't mean to deceive you!

I called because I had finally
gotten back to Waseda.

I saw the phone,
and I wanted to hear your voice,

but then I did,
and I couldn't say I was back.

Just don't say anything, then!

You didn't have to interfere with my work!
I was free until noon today!

Which is why I asked for
it first thing in the morning.

Are you kidding me?!

I should hit you, really!

- Neri.
- Stay away.

What happened to my brother?
Did you hide him somewhere?

Please, tell me.
What did you say to my brother?!

It's your fault.

- Of course not!
- Yes it is.

The truth is... I was planning on killing
him and then myself, but he ran away.

Did you hide him somewhere?

- Uh, hey st...
- Get away! Get off me!

- What'd you do to him, bitch?!
- Stop it!

Hey, Izumi!

- Wait!
- Let her go.

- Let go of me!
- Hey!

Let me go!

Neri!

Neri, get back here!

- Stop screwing around!
- No!

- Come on!
- No!

- You idiot!
- Ouch! It hurts!

- Come on, now!
- Stop!

- You're coming right now!
- Let go! You're hurting me!

- I don't want to!
- Get up! Get up!

- Let me go, you jerk!
- Get up, now!

I'm up, damn it!

- Come on, what's wrong with you?
- It hurts!

I'm coming, stop dragging me!

- Geez!
- Damn it!

Wait in the car!

- Izumi.
- Huh?

Please, go home for today.

I know her the best,
since I'm her brother.

It's no use trying to talk to
her when she's like that.

But my brother...

I'm sorry, but this is my
family's problem now.

Your family is not related
to us anymore.

Please.

Where are we?

This is Koenji.

Where in Koenji?

We're not too far from the
station, I think.

How do I get back to Kamakura?
I don't know the way!

Hm, I see.

Well, I'm sorry.

Here, fix this.

There, there, it's okay.

Hey.

Huh?

Sorry for barging in.

Are you the little sister?

- You're kinda cute, aren't you?
- Kinda?

I heard a lot about you.

From my brother?

You're a Virgo, right? Me too!
He talks about you all year.

Here, I'll help.

Come on.

Thank you.

And you are...?

Akio hates potatoes and cabbage.

And he likes carrots, bell peppers
and pickled radish.

You know all about him, huh?

It gets dirty around here sometimes,
right? I come to clean up!

Oh, it's about time I go.

- I give a lesson around here once a week.
- Lesson?

Despite my looks,
I'm an Aikido teacher.

I'm a 3rd degree black
belt of the Ryukoku school.

Y'know, I've been talking to your brother.

I want to turn this place into a
training room, or a dojo.

Isn't that a good idea?

It's a waste to use all this space
as just storage room!

Right?

I guess you're right.

I'd cover this floor with tatami mats.

And put up a sign!

"A dojo for the working woman who
wants to look good!", how's it sound?

There's a lot of fat women,
aren't there?

Put a good word with him
for me, will you?

Well, anyway.
See you!

Remember to lock the door when you go out.
It's dangerous around here.

- That's all of it, right?
- Yeah.

Have you decided where
you want the desk?

- I think here is good!
- Oh, is that so?

Okay, so by the window, right?

- That's right.
- Okay.

Oh, excuse me.

I think it'll look good once
you put it in order.

Thank you for the hard work.

I think there wasn't anything extra.

- You drove quite safely.
- Is that right?

Well, here you go.

Would you like a cold drink, maybe?

You don't have any more
work today, right?

- Hm, well... Yeah...
- Okay?

Well...

Have a seat.

Eeny meeny miny moe.

Eh?

Ah.

Oh.

Oh.

Hey!

Oh, hey.

Oops.
Guess I'm caught.

That's my loss.

Is this okay?

I like it a lot, it tastes
kinda like medicine.

I'm fine with anything.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Damn.

- Sorry about that.
- No problem.

- They might've stretched a little.
- It's okay.

My toes are numb.

Don't you feel disturbed
in a room as messy as this?

Don't you feel
like getting messy too?

Very messy. Me too.

You see... I don't really want
to pay you for the work.

Okay? Come here.

That hurt!

Ouch!

- You...
- Huh?

It's nothing.

Ouch!

It hurts!
Be more gentle!

Oh, geez!

Oh, I'm finally home!

- Welcome home.
- What are you doing?

What do you mean?
Today is mom's death anniversary! See?

Is it?
I had forgotten.

I finally found a photo of dad.

We gotta let them have a date once in a
while, right?

I was the pitcher this time.

- This is my favorite photo.
- We were so young.

You were what, five?

You can't get old when
you die quick, eh?

That took a dark turn.

- Is that so?
- Yes, that's so.

After dad died, mom kept working
the restaurant all alone...

I was never suited to work in a restaurant.
Making food is very hard.

Mom died because she was too busy.

She was serving breakfast, right?

I still remember it.

The breakfast set was 95 yen.
With the miso soup!

Huh?

- Did someone come here?
- No.

No one came.

Yes, this is the Kojima residence.

Huh?

Leave us alone, will ya?
That's already settled!

That's a false accusation.

Alright?
It's getting annoying!

I'm hanging up.
I'll do it!

You're welcome any day!
Waseda Everyday Restaurant

This is a story from when I went on a
seaside class trip, in elementary school.

On the second night, all three of our
teachers got blackout drunk.

Then they felt kinda sick, and
threw up all over the room!

Eh, thank you for that charming story...

Well, that's all for today's
Friendly Cha-...

Come on, honey, don't cry!
Look!

I'll be taking her there right away.

Okay, we'll be waiting then.

Okay.

You're Neri Kojima, right?

Are you Kenji?

Nice to meet you.

Well, like we spoke on
the phone yesterday,

all of our family, or rather us
siblings at least,

are in uproar about
Kozo's disappearance.

We want to sit down with you and hear what
happened. Izumi is also waiting for you.

Izumi?

I don't want to.

You're putting us on a tough spot,
running away like that.

Running away?

It's not just a matter
of preferences, is it?

And it's not like there's
nothing in it for you.

You'll tell us
everything you know.

And, of course,
we'll say what we have to, too.

My brother and his wife live nearby.

It's okay, we're leaving soon.

It's been over a week since you
two fought and he went missing.

Let's think of a way to find
him, together.

You know...

I only came because you said
you'd come instead of Izumi.

It's right over there!

Now, come on.

One, two!

- One, two!
- One, two!

- One, two!
- One, two!

- One, two!
- One, two!

Here.
Come on.

What will you drink?

- I'll have black tea.
- Whiskey for me.

It's on the shelf in the pantry.
Get what you want.

How about you?

- I'm okay, thank you.
- Is that right?

- How about you, bro?
- Huh?

- It's cool, I'm working.
- Oh?

Isn't it fine, though?
You don't have to pretend

to be working so hard
at a time like this.

- I'm on a deadline, actually!
- Oh, is that so?

Are you still working the boutique,
even without Kozo?

- Take one.
- Yeah, but it's hard to do it alone.

Here, you too.

Anyway, Kozo is a weird guy,
isn't he?

When he wanted to open the store,

he tricked dad into giving him money
even though he was against it.

- I'll leave it here.
- Why'd he just leave now?

It's Neri's fault.

I'm sure she did something
horrible to him!

Come here, come.

Come on, get up.

Did you instigate Kozo to ask our
father for his savings?

That's not right.

So, he was the one manipulating
you, right?

That's absurd, sis!
Of course not!

You met him after he opened
the boutique, right?

Yes, that's right.

Oh!

It must be Eiko.

I'm sorry I'm late! The taping
for the late night show took until now!

Hey, what are y... Oh.

Did you really like our Kozo?

Did you love him?

You know, I have a radio show
targeted at young people.

So I understand people your
age really well.

There's a lot of old people who write us
too, but I usually ignore them.

You're mistaken.

Huh?

I came back to my
brother's in Waseda because

I grew tired of the
sea at Kamakura.

It seems like people can suddenly
think of their older brothers as men.

A while back y'know, I got two or
three letters about that!

You're mistaken!

Seems like that's all she
knows how to say, eh?

It's just my own thinking, but Kozo
probably found another woman somewhere,

and is just leading his life as always.

We should leave him be.

It's nothing to do with us, anyway.

- Stop that.
- Shut up! Get out!

Don't look down on me!
I know you're just trying to stall.

Come on, Mr. Kojima.
Let's make a deal already.

It'll be good for everyone.
Okay?

What was that, you bastard?!

We even found you places
you could go live!

If you leave within 20 days,
I'll even somewhat take care of you.

Bastard!

- What are you doing?
- Let go of me, bastard!

You bastard!

I'm gonna wreck this place,
you bastard!

Cut that out!
You jackass!

Bastard!

Wait a minute!

No!

Give it back.
Come on, give it back.

- You took something, right?
- You little thief.

There's more, isn't there?

This feels like a joke.

Well, anyway.

Don't do that anymore, miss.
We'll call the cops next time!

Oh!

Why is your face hurt?

Eh? It's nothing.

Is that so? But there's some
broken stuff in the shop, too.

What are you doing?

My bellybutton.

Huh?

I'm filling it up. Sometimes I wonder
how it'd be if I didn't have one.

Is that so?

Huh?

Is that so?

Y'know...

What?

Instead of lazying around everyday, why
don't you find a job? What d'you think?

- Hm...
- I've been looking.

Akio, I...

- Huh?
- Actually...

I was summoned by his siblings today.

Was Kozo there?

- Why?
- What do you mean "why"? Wasn't he there?

Of course he wasn't!
There's no way he would.

I mean, have you met his siblings?

You think he was so fed up of
them that he ran away?

I don't think that's the case.

About Kozo...

I wonder why he left so suddenly.

Neri.

What would you do if he
showed up here, now?

Would you make up with him?

No... No way!

It's not like I can be
around forever, right?

Right...

Don't panic, Neri.

Kozo's calling for me.

Idiot.

Oide Boutique

Sorry for the other day.

I want to ask you the truth.

But that's a weird store
you have here, eh?

Let's go out.

I wish I could go wander
aimlessly too!

Hm.

- How is Neri doing?
- As well as she can.

But she won't tell me anything.

It's okay, then, right?
Why'd you come here?

Well, I was just worried.

About me? About my brother?
Which is it?

Huh?

It doesn't matter.
I don't want you to worry anymore.

I gave up.

- You gave up?
- That's right.

I won't look for Kozo anymore.

The others, my oldest brother
especially, say he's just gone

off to screw around,
and are pretending nothing's happening.

There's no point in only me insisting.

And besides, I'm still running the shop.

Even if it's a shop like that,
it's still hard work!

I can't let those ghosts control
my life forever, right?

Seriously, it's just ghosts!

Did you say "ghosts"?

That's what I said. I mean,
that's how it is.

- You mean Kozo?
- And Neri.

They were like empty shells,
without soul.

Even now...

What an idiot!

Huh?

I'm talking about myself!
Being left alone in a place like that...

I'm pissed off, even now!

I'm gonna go for a swim.

No!
Get out, get off me!

- Get off!
- Ouch!

Ouch!
No, I don't want to!

Get off of me! No!

Get away!

Fresh wounds are the highest
sign of love, they say.

Since Neri came back, I feel like I'm
gradually turning into a barbarian.

Why is that?

I think the decadence is in our blood,
inherited from our parents.

Every time our father drank,

he would suddenly start chasing our
mother around, resentfully cursing at her.

When I was a kid,
I was very scared of that.

Neri was a baby, so I wonder
how it was for her.

Is its unfair for me to ask you
to forget your ghosts?

They're pulling on you even stronger now...
But won't you take Neri in again?

Rather than that, she needs to
be around other people.

Someone that's not her blood, like me.

It's okay if it's only with
the excuse of helping out at the store.

Their apartment is still there, right?

Of course, I'll pay the rent
until Kozo comes back.

Ah!

Kamakura...

What? Is that bad?

Is it bad?

Don't go deciding things for yourself.

Why, though? It'll be good for you!
This is all because of your selfishness!

Good grief!

Some nerve you have,
to talk like that.

- All in all, she's a reasonably good kid.
- Who?

Huh? Izumi, I mean.

We didn't have a chance
to speak properly until now,

because of all the misunderstandings.

You spoke to her alright, eh?

Naked and all.

Did you have fun?

Huh?

It's too late to try and hide it, Akio.

We got the report from
Kamakura a while ago.

Report?

A phone call!
You're the worst.

Huh?

"Your brother forced himself
onto me today."

"Inside a public bathroom."

- That's what she said.
- That bitch...

Why are you mad?
You're the one in the wrong!

That's not something to go
telling a third party like you.

Third party?
That's an awful way to put it.

You mean I'm just some stranger?

No, c'mon, I mean Neri,
who has nothing to do with it.

Anyway, that was her goal all along!

- Her goal?
- Yeah.

She wanted Neri to know!

She wanted Neri to
know we did it!

You mean you got caught in
her trap on purpose, then?

What a story!

You're gonna try and say it
was for Neri's sake, too?

You committed a felony on purpose for
your sister's sake? Are you a child?

You little...!

Stop it, Akio.

Anyway...

I have my reasons to do what I do.

I'm sad that you don't try
to understand it.

Just do whatever you want!

It's a little cramped,
I wonder if you'll be okay.

You have to, okay?

'Cause I put in a good word for ya.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. She needs people there,
it's been pretty hard.

I feel like I'm a nuisance
just being around.

I don't know about that.

But Akio was the one who said
to do whatever, right?

I brought her, auntie!

Oh, that's a great help.

Will it work out?
She doesn't speak much.

It's okay.
As long as she can stand.

- Well, take care of her then, please.
- Go upstairs, please.

Excuse me.

I'm going back then.
I have work to do.

You can stay as long
as you need.

Oh, by the way...

My cousin, Midori,
comes home later.

Oh, she's home.

Is it her day off?

She has tendinitis or whatever on her
right hand, so she can't move it.

It's a pretty bothersome
disease she has.

Oh...

Hello.

Look out.
Ouch!

Thank you.

Tendinitis, is that it?

I can't really move my
hand because of it.

Because work was too demanding.

- What do you do?
- I work at a hostess bar.

Oh, a hostess bar?

Yeah.

I keep coming and going.

You're a pretty weird girl, aren't you?

You think so?

There's no sign of any
suffering on your face.

Huh?

It's kinda...

like a Buddha or something.

- It's hot!
- Move aside a bit.

Here.

Hello.

- Are you Mr. Wada?
- Yeah.

I'm Kojima.
We spoke on the phone.

Oh!

It's all good, isn't it?

- Anyway, come in.
- Okay.

Come on in.

Well...

When Kozo comes back,
we'll make it official, so...

- It's all good, isn't it?
- Well...

Is it really okay?

I know my sister will
be a burden, but...

It's all good, isn't it?

Is that so?
Then please, talk to your siblings too.

Oh, don't worry. I won't let them complain
about it. Leaving that aside...

I think I understand Kozo's
feelings a bit.

To summarize it, for him Neri is
something that is no longer...

Huh?

Kojima.

Kojima, isn't it best if we don't treat
women with such high regard?

I understand, and I do recognize
that there's something of value to them.

"That" is something
like our backside, after all.

However the backside is just that,
after all.

Can you reach your own
backside by yourself?

We should leave that aside,
and focus our efforts

on the completion
of our own selves.

At any rate, I'll let you handle
this business with Kozo your own way.

Well, then, goodbye.

Void

That's pretty lousy handwriting to try
and make a design with, eh?

It's just "sky" written over and over.

It's not "sky", it's "void".

Oh, "void" is it?

- Yeah.
- I see.

- It might be a hidden message.
- Huh?

See? It was written as a suicide
note, after all.

Is there something to do
with their missing relative?

Nah, that's not it.

I wonder...

The man committed suicide
by taking sleeping pills,

and when the wife found him,

she killed the child and then herself.
That's what we think, right?

The wife died by gas poisoning.
I'll tell the coroner.

Okay.

- This is a textbook case of
a doomed marriage. - Huh?

I mean, they had no chance of getting
it right from the start.

At any rate, this is one weird
way to die, eh!

- You won't tell anyone?
- You know I won't.

I'll tell you, then.

I won't be surprised,
no matter what.

I've killed plenty of men at
work, every night.

I killed him.

My lover.

Oh, is that true?

I wonder when it was...
This one night...

We got into a fight over
something small.

Izumi is his younger sister,
you see?

She was pretty tangled in our life,

so I got fed up, and left saying
I was going back to Waseda.

He came after me.

I'd gone to a temple where
you could see the sea.

We walked a lot while hurling
curses at each other.

- Why now?
- Things changed.

What happened?
Do you really...

I don't hate you.
Goodbye.

Hey!

I don't really remember how
far we had walked.

It was a dark place,
very high up.

It's over. I'll jump.

- Go ahead.
- Come with me.

- I don't want to.
- Why not?

- Because I despise you.
- Is that so?!

What are you doing?
No! No!

I... rather than saying I pushed him,
I was so frustrated that...

I tackled him.

He fell.

Kozo fell.

He fell.

I killed him.

I was crouching there for
two hours, spacing out.

Then I was overcome by a sense of fear
and I couldn't stay there any longer.

So I got into a train.

You'll forget it, eventually.

It's no big deal!

Come on, drink.

Was it around here that
I tackled him?

You don't need to
keep reminiscing.

And you shouldn't tell anyone that,
even your brother.

I'll forget about it too.

Yes.

Were you listening, mom?

Of course not.

Is that true?

Okay, then.

If you were quietly listening in,
you'll pay for it!

I might have to beat you up, mom!

I don't know what you're
talking about.

If you say so.
What's that?

Oh, there was a double suicide
at an apartment in Harajuku.

Neri, isn't this your boyfriend's...?

What?

Looking at the changes in the stars,
there's a chance to divine

You're going to the funeral, right?

- Why would I?
- Huh?

I've nothing to do with it, but...

Well, you're kinda...

Related to them, after all.

This double suicide thing is messed up.
It's just killing one another.

Akio!

- Why?
- Eh?

Who did you ask about
the store, anyway?

Huh?

Minako?

I don't speak to her anymore.

The old woman, then?

Maybe Kozo will come
to the funeral.

- He won't come.
- He will if he sees the paper!

He won't come!

Go to sleep, you must be tired.

It's okay, isn't it? There's no way
I can sleep on a night like this.

You're that kind of woman.

You can't help but be bothered
by that kind of thing.

Y'know...

Hm?

You're really my little sister.

Even though you're a woman...

Ouch!

I'll go to the funeral.

I'm Kozo's family too, after all.

That's what I was telling you.

Let's see, mom's clothes were...

There they are.

That is how I grew into
being this woman

(Buddhist sutra)

My condolences for
their sad passing.

Why'd they die?
I can't make sense of it.

I wish we'd seen this
coming, somehow...

Won't Kozo come back
even for the funeral?

Even though it was plastered
across the newspapers...

That's a fantasy. The information
was just being told one-sidedly.

A bride outfit is there too, right?

Yeah. Mom had too many clothes.

Idiot!

Don't talk like that.

Try this on.

This too.
Go be a bride.

- It's okay even if you don't have
your partner, right? - Partner?

Kozo, of course.

But he's missing.

For now.

Anyway, you'll put on
this bride outfit...

And go back to the apartment in Kamakura.
He'll come back before you know it!

He'll probably never come back
if you're not waiting for him.

Because he'd have no
home to return to.

And we have no idea how
to look for him, anyway.

Should I wear this?

I made up my mind.

Huh?

I'm leaving this place.

You're leaving?

After you marry into their family.
I have my own plans for the future.

I'm getting good money for the place.

I'll even give you a dowry!

You'll leave within one week.

A lot happened, but at last we've
reached an amicable solution!

Alright! Let's take a picture!
A picture!

Huh?

We'll ask the old man out front.

His wife will help with the fitting.

She does, it's written on their sign!

Akio.

Don't cry!

You're a bride, y'know?

You're really going to be married.

Hey. What's wrong?

Maybe I shouldn't have let
you go to the funeral.

- Will Kozo...
- Huh?

Will Kozo really come back?

Isn't that why you're
going to his family?

To wait for him.

You're really in love with
Kozo, aren't you?

Right?
That's it, isn't it?

Akio.

Yeah?

Thank you!

What are you going on about?

- I'm sorry!
- Idiot.

You've taken really
good care of me!

Okay, I'm going to take it now.

Alright?
Miss bride, look over here!

You're in the way, move!

I'm taking it!

Ready?

Good!

Here it goes.

Okay, I'll take another one too.

Look here and stay still.

Good!

Hey, Neri!

Aren't you forgetting anything?

No!

There's nothing left!

It's okay.
There's a lot of those in Kamakura.

- Hm.
- Let's go.

Yeah.

Neri.

You disliking it is the only reason
we're getting rid of the place.

Where will you go after
you're free?

Don't worry about me.

Akio, lock the door!

There's nothing for anyone to take!

I'm sorry for making you
come to a place like this.

It wasn't something I could talk about
on the phone. How should I put it...?

I don't understand!

Has Neri really gone missing?

Yeah, it's been over a
month already.

I see.

Do you really have no idea?

I don't.

Just what happened to her?

What's in the note, anyway?

Huh?

I didn't understand very well.

"I want to go to a temple where I can see
the sea", something about that.

But she didn't say where.

Hey!

Hey, over here!

I found the temple.
They say she shaved her head.

Shaved her head?!

Yeah...
But she's not there anymore.

Where'd she go?

They say she left with a young
monk from the temple.

But they ended up splitting up.

That idiot.

There's no leads left.

Isn't it better if you don't look for her?

If you do look, you might die.

It's because they keep looking
that people die!

So it's better not to go looking.

I did something terrible to you.

I'm really sorry.

But I'm gonna look for her.

Whether she's somewhere or not.

I have to.

- Hey, Mr. oden vendor!
- Huh?

Yeah?

Oh.

I'm here! I'm coming!

Sorry for the wait!

We want to take some oden.

To go, then?
What do you want in it?

Radish, konjac and a potato.

Who is this woman?

Oh, she's like a relative.

- Your girlfriend?
- Something like that.

Okay, give me one of those.

- And one of these.
- A potato.

There you go.

- Is it ready, mom?
- Here.

Oh, yeah, konjac right?

I want a potato!

- Give us another potato, please.
- Sure!

Okay, that'll be 600 yen.

600 yen...

I'll leave it here.

Here you go.
Thank you.

Let's eat over there, okay?

Thank you very much.

Wait for me!

Mom, hurry up!

Coming!

Younger Sister,
he is a very good guy

So, whatever happens...
Please bear with it

And if it really, really
Just doesn't work out...

Come home to me,
Oh, younger sister

THE END
