Midori, How's there?

Look at this... Mom's drew this picture.

I found the homework that Midori left for me.

I wonder whose house this is.

Hello?

Both of us immersed in memories.

Eh!?

Even we didn't have much time for it...

Here.

Well, I know how you feel, because I also ran away from my home.

Once in middle school and twice in high school.

When I was in high school, they didn't even try to find me,

So I stayed at a friend's place for about two weeks.

It was a lot of fun. But Itsuki-chan's only 8 years old,

and don't say anything that support her to running away from home.

Okay~. -When your dad come home,

and found out Itsuki-chan not there...

What's going to happened?

Well, normally, you'd call 110 right away.

I think he's gonna get a hint and come yelling in here.

Saying "You're harboring my daughter!".

Eeh~ That's not very gentle to do.

If then, please tell him that I'm not here.

If then, please tell him that I'm not here.

Hmm...

When your dad usually back? -At night.

He always home late. -So that means...

So there's still times before your father gonna realize that you went missing.

I'm back. -I'm home~!

Welcome back.

Itsuki-chan, thanks for coming.

Everyone said they wanna see you again.

Haru, show her. -Look.

Haru, show her. -Look.

Shizuku too. -Me too.

Everyone wear it?

Yes!!

Okay, then I need to talk to her,

I'll let her to play with you later, okay?

Okay~. -Okay, please go upstairs.

So, where were we?

There's still times before her father gonna notice Itsuki-chan's not home.

So we need to do something before that.

So we need to do something before that.

Did she told you why she ran away?

Well, there's a lot of reasons for that...

But the primary reason is you don't want to be at home, right?

Itsuki-chan, is your father ever hit you or something like that? No, he never do that.

Aah... That's a relief.

Beside the reasons, what's we gonna do from now on?

Okay, can I give my opinion? -Please, Shunpei-kun.

I'll gonna meet Kurosaki-san and talk to him.

Eh?

I just want to talk to your father one more time.

I... Don't want to go back home.

I understand. But we can't keep quit about this.

That's why I'm gonna ask him...

...to let us take care of you for tonight.

How's that? -We're going in head-on.

Well, maybe it's for the best. -What about you, Rei-san?

If with her father permission, tonight...

Then.... It's all good, right? -Yes.

I wish I had a house like this when I was a student~

How about you, Oya-san? -Then there's gonna be extra dinner serving for tonight.

Ah! It's there.

I'm not sure yet... -Come on!!

Coordinate with your design! -Okay...

Come on! Go go!!

Kurosaki-san? -What?!!

Sorry to interrupt your work.

Why you...

What is it? Can't you even call me?

It's about Itsuki-chan.

It's about Itsuki-chan.

Actually, she's at our place right now.

Huh?! -There...

She says she ran away from home.

What the hell that she's thinking?

Kurosaki-san, please calm down. Hey!!

Yes! -Until when you...

...gonna stand still there?!! Go do your work there!!

Okay!

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

Aah... For that...

Here's the thing. -What is it?

If you don't mind,

If you don't mind,

can you let us to take care of Itsuki-chan tonight at our place? Huh?

can you let us to take care of Itsuki-chan tonight at our place? -Huh?

What are you saying after you rejected us before this?

We're still discussing about the move in...

We also happy that Itsuki-chan came to see us,

and we regretted that we turned you away before this.

Me too!!!

I want to see Itsuki-chan's happy face!

That's the same case for you, right?

That's the same case for you, right?

Shunpei should be meeting her father by now.

I hope the talk gonna went well...

It's nothing offense, but there's a parents...

...that can't read the atmosphere even they actually worried about their children.

My dad, didn't even care of me.

Eeh?!

I'm sure he's glad that I'm gone.

Why do you think so?

Why do you think so?

My dad and mom think I'm a hindrance for them.

I left my wife five years ago.

Since then, Itsuki had been living with her mother.

3 months ago, my wife went overseas...

Eh?! That's the same for me.

Don't tell me... -"I'll be overseas for 6 months,

"and I'm gonna be moving from place to place for the concert,

so please take care of her." That's what she said.

That's why I've decided to take care of her for 6 months only.

That's why I've decided to take care of her for 6 months only.

So, your wife is well, then? -Well, who know...

While putting something on me out of the blue,

she's enjoying her trip gracefully.

Is your wife works in music industry?

By the way, what kind of...

It's nothing to do about her right now, right?!!

I'm sorry.

Actually, my wife is a picture book author.

She was died in an accident while on a business trip overseas 3 months ago.

Oh, don't worry about it.

We've been single for 3 months and became single father,

but the situation is a bit different, right?

I hadn't see Itsuki for the past 5 years,

Honestly for her suddenly live together with me...

I don't know how to treat her.

Is that so.

Is that so.

I don't know if she's rebellious because of she hate me.

When we're alone, we barely even talk to each other.

Dad's been mad at me ever since I got there.

Like last time?

It's always like that.

Do you ever watch TV together and laughing together?

No. I've never seen my dad smile.

No. I've never seen my dad smile.

To said you never seen it...

Not even once.

Do you have any pictures of you when you were little?

Picture of him holding you.

My mom threw away all the pictures that had my dad on it.

Is that so.

Itsuki-chan always alone at home,

so maybe she just want to play with our kids there.

We also have two young moms in our home.

If you have anything that you want to tell,

maybe we can help you with that.

Of course, it's the best for you to be there and play with her by yourself.

I don't think she wants to play with me.

I don't think she wants to play with me.

Are you sure?

Itsuki-chan...

Thinks this summer vacation as an adventure for her.

Please forgive her for running away from home this time.

I'll pick her up tomorrow and pay the fee for the stay.

I'll pick her up tomorrow and pay the fee for the stay.

Please take care of Itsuki for me.

With that, I got permission from your dad,

Let's have some fun tonight with Itsuki-chan!

Yeay~~!!

Only for this night?

Itsuki-chan, let's only think about having fun tonight now.

Itsuki-chan, let's only think about having fun tonight now.

Hey, do you want to have dinner on the rooftop tonight? Like a summer camp.

Ah!! That's a good idea.

Please give me a sausage! -Haru too.

Here the sausage~!

Guys, eat a lot, okay?

I'll make a lot. -Okay, thanks.

Ittadakimasu~!! It's delicious!

Woah~! Sou-chan, Itsuki-chan said it's delicious.

Right~? Because I made it.

That was a lie.

That yakisoba was cooked by Oya-san downstairs,

That yakisoba was cooked by Oya-san downstairs,

What that uncle cooked is.... This.

It's all black. -He he he...

Itsuki-chan said she never seen her father's smile.

Well, Kurosoki-san said, he also don't know what to do...

...since she come to live with him suddenly.

So many things have gone wrong...

Here we go~!

I think, Itsuki-chan really want to see her father's smile.

I mean, I also want to see he smiling.

Here it comes!!

It's coming!

I'm glad Itsuki-chan had a lot of fun.

Yeah...

Is something wrong? -Nope.

It's okay just for tonight, but...

It's okay just for tonight, but...

Rei-san,

I'm trying to think far ahead.

I respect you for being able to make so many decisions.

But...

Why don't we go with the flow for this once?

Tomorrow's winds will blow tomorrow.

That's right~

It would've been easier if I could've lived like that.

It's completely different! When Genji-san made it, it's really good.

But the recipe is the same~

Okonomiyaki is not about how you made it,

Both of us? -Yes.

Since you father here, it's better that 100 persons, right?

That's what I thought.

I don't know if he's too meddlesome or to pushy...

I also think the same. -Of course.

Apparently, I'm not welcomed here.

I'll come back later to pick her up. -Wait Kurosaki-san!

Why don't you guys just do it yourselves?

My presence will only make the atmosphere worse, anyway.

It's that kind of attitude that makes the atmosphere bad.

Do you have any yukata in mom's house?

It's from when I still small, so I can't wear it anymore.

Is that so...

Do you still remember living with me when you still small?

I don't remember.

Sometimes we'd go to the neighborhood park and play...

I don't remember, there's no picture either.

I'll go help them.

Aah..

Are you here to help, Itsuki-chan?

-Yes. -Thank you.

Then, can you take this inside, please?

Then, can you take this inside, please?

Are two enough?

Well, do you already see that uncle smiling?

Hmm? Not yet.

Huh? Are you giving up already?

It's not that, but what I'm doing...

I thought it's like the north wind from "North Wind and The Sun".

It really seems like that.

It really seems like that.

It must be a smile that just oozes out naturally,

if not, it'll became like...

...showing a smile that will make it uncomfortable for the family, right?

Even if you're family, when you've been apart for a long time it's will be like strangers.

Sometimes you even forget how's they look likes.

Oya-san, you understand?

No, no... that's how it is.

I guess we just need time.

I guess we just need time.

Well then, Excuse me.

Shizuku.

Are you going to accompany me? Let's go until there.

Are you going to accompany me? Let's go until there.

It was fun, wasn't it? -Yes.

You sold a lot of foods, right? -Yes.

Well, I guess this is where the fun ends.

I'll take your mask, Kurosaki-san. Thank you for your hard work.

Thanks to all of you, today was the busiest day.

I'll sing again, any time.

And here's my best shot of the day.

What is it? -The title is...

"A gentle smile".

The picture is... Here.

He he he....

He's smiling.

At this time your dad...

...was watching you, Itsuki-chan.

Thank you very much.

That's look was really nice.

We finally see it. Kurosaki-san smiling face.

When you were a little girl, your dad...

When you were a little girl, your dad...

I think he's having this face a lot more on those days.

Your dad always been like this, even from a distance.

he looked at Itsuki-chan with a gentle smile.

Yeah, now both of you...

...may just forgot how to give smile to each other.

But you gonna remember it again.

When the time comes, both of you gonna smile again.

When you zoomed in.... It look like this~.

Hey, why don't you say something.

Come on.

Come on.

I'm sorry Itsuki.

I don't know that you already grown up this much.

No...

No...

It's not like you suddenly grown up, but...

I mean... -It's okay.

Aah....

I'm sorry too.

I just made dad looks like bad people.

I've been rude to you guys, too.

I'm so sorry.

Eh? Did you say something?

I mean...

How can strangers be a family?

How can strangers be a family?

It's an idea that only brainless student would think of.

Full of idealistic.

I think you're right, Kurosaki-san.

But we'd like to make that ideal a reality.

Kurosaki-san, we haven't closed the family recruitment yet.

Yeah, we already full house,

and we can't live together with you, but...

and we can't live together with you, but...

..would you like to stay connected with us as a family?

If that's what she wants,

No, I mean... if it's okay with you all,

Me too...

Are you okay with it?

I've...

...decided to go with the flow for today.

Nice, it's decided!

What's that? Another increase?

Which means, Nijiya Fest.... Was a great success~!!

I'm okay if you wanna stay here tonight.

I'm okay, today I'll go home.

Is that so.

Is that so.

Say... When I was little,

did we ever holding hands when went for a walk?

yeah...

hmm...

It's been a long day.

Rei-san's ex-husband also came.

Rei-san's ex-husband also came.

I'm sorry for being selfish as always.

Not at all. If that's bring happiness to Shizuku, we'll be glad for it.

Okay.

Once again, my capacity was too small...

I felt the pain. -What do you mean?

Kurosaki-san apologized to us properly,

Itsuki-chan in other hand, just a little kid,

Saying "It was my fault",

I think they're amazing.

That's something I can't do.

Rei-san, you've grown up, huh...

Don't say like you're doing great.

I've decided!

I'm gonna have a proper talk with my husband tomorrow.

Se you later Shizuku, Play with everyone here while waiting for me, okay?

Shizuku can stay at home!

Please take care of her. -Of course.

Take care.

See you later.

When I started living with those people, I realized.

I'd been pushing my idealistic for you to accept it.

I make you to become a father that will follow my idealism.

Because I thought it was the right thing to do.

And I cannot forgive you for not changing.

And I cannot forgive you for not changing.

Yeah...

But, you know, the people at Nijiya taught me something.

Accepting other people's ideas, forgiving their mistakes,

That's what living with strangers is all about.

Even it's too late now.

Well, yes, it is.

I'm sorry for everything.

I'm sorry for everything.

It's nothing.

From now on, I will acknowledge your way of thinking and living.

I'll free you from my idealism.

Then...

Let's getting an official divorce.

Eeh?!!

The fact that you're a Shizku's dad will not change.

So you can come visit us anytime,

It doesn't have to be once a month.

It doesn't have to be once a month.

W.... Wait a sec.

Just now, I'm a bit surprised because this is the first time you actually said "let's get divorce".

I want to move on with my previous life, which will become...

...the beginning of my new life.

I'm sorry but... I still can't get it.

That's right~ Because me too.

Did you enjoyed Nijiya Fest?

Yes, It's the best.

I'm sorry for keeping it here all this time.

It arrived three months ago and I haven't opened it.

It takes time to sort out your feelings.

Honestly, we haven't even...

Honestly, we haven't even...

It's the same for me.

I finally feel ready to open this.

I think you and Haru should keep moving forward.

Good luck~! -Thanks!

Good luck~! -Thanks!

I've been here about 3 weeks.

I've been here about 3 weeks.

I can't keep up with the sketches anymore.

So I use voice memo.

It's not that I can't catch up, it's just that the moment I see it, I can't stop thinking about it.

I feel like I wanted to record everything in details...

...and that make my hand full. I can't keep up with it.

I'm really glad I came here to have this experience.

I see it! I finally found it.
