Original subtitles

Midori-san, you can open your eyes now.

It just arrived.

A newborn of Midori's picture book.

Go ahead. Pick it up.

The cost went up, but...

...I'm still glad we stick with this paper quality.

The reason we were able to make this paper is because Shunpei-san was able to increase...

...the number of copies of the first edition by selling and collecting orders.

Picture books also have the sound of pages being turned.

It's a work of art, including the sensations at your fingertips.

Yeah.

Very nice.

Perfect! -Nice!

Let's take a picture while holding the newborn's picture book.

Yeah, let's shoot. Let's shoot. -Okay, say cheese~!

The face of a house created by the place, time, and people who live there is different for everyone.

Because everyone is different. Faces?

I'm going home with this feeling in my body.

I'm still working on what I'm going to draw,

but I already found it and I'm in the mood now.

This is a resource for the next picture book.

Let's make another Midori-chan's picture book.

I'll make it together with Midori.

I'll do it!

Please let me do it!

Makurazaki-san. -Yes, what's up?

I've been listening to Midori's voice memo since yesterday.

Midori seemed to be having so much fun.

Okay.

What did Midori want to depict in her next picture book?

I was hoping to at least get a hint of that.

The more I thought about it, the more I got stuck.

I'm just getting impatient.

Well, let's take it slow.

But I'm having so much fun right now.

I'm gonna make it happen.

I'll show it to Midori.

Okay.

So, for a change of pace, can I go outside?

Ha ha ha, you can take the summer off soon if you want.

Why don't you take Haru to somewhere else and go think about it?

I'll discuss it with my family. -Okay.

I'm off. -Have a good day.

I can't believe he still enjoying it while worrying about it. I envy him.

For Shunpei, completing the new picture book is the most important thing.

Maybe it's can be medium for reunited with Midori-chan.

Midori, how's there?

When I hear Midori's voice like this...

It's like she's right here with me.

I wonder what Midori wanted to draw.

Oh, Rei-sensei's here too.

Why are all teachers in school today?

It's still not a summer vacation for the teachers.

How about you all? Where did you go for summer vacation?

I went to my grandma's.

I went to the beach with my family.

That so good~! I'd like to go somewhere too.

Draw a picture in your journal and show me later.

Okay, goodbye~.

Bye bye. -Be careful.

How about you, Rei-sensei?

Do you have any plans to go somewhere with your family?

I'm just happy to be home now.

But doesn't your child want to go somewhere?

That's the kind of thing you can draw in a picture journal.

Aah... That's right.

But if your husband is busy, it might not be easy to do it.

Nakazato-sensei.

I will not hide it anymore, so I'll tell you.

I'm divorced.

Maybe we should stop opening during the daytime on weekdays.

No one wants to eat okonomiyaki in the middle of the day.

Why don't you just shut up and take a break when you can?

Since you're getting old.

Don't treat me like I'm too old.

You know, I've said it many times,

You're not as young as you think you are anymore.

What if you suddenly collapse?

Then, you can just sell this shop.

I'll not let it happened. I'll protect this restaurant and it's taste.

I'll be working of a new offensive menu for a defense,

doing a festival, starting a lunch menu, at least I can pay the debt with it.

The debt is none of your business.

Welcome! -Um... About the lunch...

We're working on it! Come in!

This picture came up on Instagram.

Oh~! -It looks delicious.

It's a hot topic of conversation with my neighborhood mom friends.

So did you see the picture? Thank you very much!

You have a choice of red, green or yellow lunch.

Look, it's starting to pay off.

That's what I'm talking about. Your pictures draw people in.

No, it's your okonomiyaki that draws people in.

Excuse me. Two red and two green please.

Okay, with pleasure!

I want you to destroy this and throw it away.

Are you sure you want to destroy it?

You can't throw it away without destroying it.

I know that, but this is our six months of...

Our loss in this competition,

it's all my fault.

I'm so sorry for everything you guys have been through.

I can't believe that chief is bowing to us.

It's been a big project for Kurosaki-san for over 3 years.

he must be frustrated more than we are.

2 3!

To Kurosaki-ojisan,

Ittadakimasu. -Ittadakimasu!

I was wondering if watermelon would be a better choice.

This is the most expensive melon Daichi ever seen

Woah, sweet!

You're exaggerating... sweet!

Really? So sweet!

So sweet!

No, I won't do it.

That's not so sweet, Rei-san.

It's sweet!

It's nice to see a family having fun with melons, it's like in Showa era.

Well then. I'll get you another one next time.

Oh, let's not do that. -Huh?

It's okay that we rarely get to eat melons like this.

When luxury is the norm,

you'll be missing it when it's not the norm.

You know, sometimes you say things that full of thought.

So Daichi, let taste it to the fullest now.

Then in the next 5 years, you'll still have this as a sweet memory.

To have something sweet as memory is a good idea.

I don't have a word for it, but I like it.

Ah, Ah!

It's coming down now. -Worm?

No. Now, the lyrics and melody...

Oh... It's gone.

That's great. I haven't even got a clue yet.

Ah, about Midori-san's picture book?

How should I do it?

Can it come to me like this?

It's not like she's trying to make a masterpiece from the beginning,

I think it's better not to put too much effort into trying to be appreciated by someone.

That's great advice based on your experience as a former photographer.

Ah... That... Kurosaki-san... -What? A former cameraman?

Eh is that so? -Eh Hmm?

Before you came here? -What, you haven't told other yet?

What? Shunpei-san didn't know either?

Since Sho-chan won't tell me about his past,

I haven't been able to ask him.

The pictures in the store are his, too.

What? That one? Is that so?

Why didn't you tell me? Hey...

Ittadakima~su. -No secret in the family.

That's what you said. -That's because you never asked.

You created the situation that make me unable to ask.

That's why the photos at Nijiya Fest were so good.

Umm.... He's totally the brother of an okonomiyaki shop now.

You know, I already been better this way.

About the picture book before... -Yes?

You need a change of scenery, don't you?

Yeah, the boss said I should take the summer off...

Yeah, maybe a change of location will help you come up with something.

Well, like I told you the other day,

maybe we really need to go on a trip somewhere together, didn't we?

I want to make this summer vacation a special memory for all of us.

Speaking of special memory... It's maybe like a picture diary where you can draw it.

It's a kind of place where when you go there in summer,

even after years past, you can still remember it.

That's nice. I still remember when I was a kid,

I and my family will go for a road trip.

Whoa. Rarely do two of you agree on something.

Hey, Haru. Is there somewhere you want to go?

Haru always want to go to the sea!

Come to think of it, Shizuku hasn't seen the sea yet.

Shizuku wants to go to the sea too.

Whoa, then it's confirmed that it's going to be sea. Why all of you going there?

Eh? How about you?

Well, I have this shop to serve.

I'm not going either. -Eh?

Well, I'm stuck now with my part-time,

We don't have as much money as everyone else.

Right Daichi. You're okay with it, right? -Yes.

If it's about money, you can rest assured.

Thanks but I'm okay. It's like melon.

We're all living together like this,

but everything can't be the same.

We have to draw the line.

Then, I'm not going either. -Huh?

What are you talking about? I'm just saying...

Itsuki-chan, you don't have to worry about Daichi.

If I'm going, I want to go together with you dad.

Eh?-I wanna go together with you only.

Well, but...

But, it might not be fun for you and dad to go there alone.

That's fine. It'll make it more special.

Well, if it's okay with you, then I'm fine with it.

By the way, which beach are you guys...

Kurosaki-san, you're going to create a special memory just with two of you.

I'm going to go downstairs for a bit. -Eh eh, Kurosaki-san?

Why? -Kurosaki-san.

He's so abrupt, isn't he?

Your dad may looked like that, but he was so happy.

You and your father just able to live together for this summer, right?

Yeah. -I see.

Your mom coming home soon?

So, you wanna making memories...

Send me a video of you playing with your father. -Sure.

Why don't the four of you stay together?

What? -No, that's...

Do we gonna stay over? I want it, I want it!

Will we do it?

Maybe I'll stay over. -Eh? Really?

Yay! -Then I'll look for a place to stay.

I'll leave it to you. -W... wait a second.

That's not gonna be a same room, it'll be 2 rooms, right?

Of course it is. -Eh? Why?

It's nothing. -Sea! Sea! Sea!

No, I mean... -Sea! Sea! Sea!

I'm just wondering...

...How will be a overnight trip.

That look on your face, is it painful or happy?

I had a bad day out there.

But I had a good day here.

I'm glad something good happened to you.

At my age,

I had my first major setback at work.

I'm going to be on vacation for a while.

Thanks to that...

You can spend time with your daughter.

Yeah.

If the good and bad are evenly matched,

it'll be a good thing.

Okay.

Shunpei-san been acting like that all morning.

Well, maybe we need to talk with him a bit.

Shunpei, if there's anything we can do... Ah..

Ah!!

I'm sorry. I was concentrating on swinging my mood.

What were you looking at?

As you say, I'm gonna take the day off.

I'm looking to go to the beach or something like that.

That nice. Haru will be happy for it.

Yes. But I don't have a place to stay.

It's hard to find an opening now. And the places that are available are expensive.

Well, I'm good at that kind of thing.

Can you leave it to me? -Really?

I'm a travel blogger and I travel alone a lot...

Oh, really? What is your blog name?

Innochi, A Carefree Office Lady, Another Relaxing Solo Travel.

I'll check it later.

Shunpei-san, any request?

I need a place as close as possible and as cheap as possible. With 2 rooms.

I'll look for it.

Gonna stay in same room?

I asked her to look around, but she couldn't find a cheap room.

2 rooms are too expensive.

After hearing about Meiku-chan's story yesterday, I decided not to be too extravagant.

What? You're blaming me.

I was wondering about that too... but I talked to Rei-san about it...

Rei-san, are you okay with it?

Well, it's not like we're staying there alone.

Of course it is! -We sleep under the same roof every night.

We're like family now.

Are you jealous? It's not like that, stupid!

That's kind of face people make when he said something not true.

Really? Oya-san, wait a second...

I hope it's gonna be a sunny day.

Yeah. -Yeah.

Haru! -Dad!

I can see the sea! -Sea!

Sea! Yay!

Haru's dad looks so happy. -He look like a kid, right?

Haru, look. What is that? -It's sparkling.

Rei-san! It's an ocean view!

Ocean view? -It's real~!

Woah~!

Beautiful! -Right?

Yeah, it's shiny.

The weather really nice, and both of the dad and mom look so well too.

Take your time.

Woah~!

Woah! I can see the sea.

This hotel was build by me years ago.

Really~?

Let's get dressed and go to the beach.

Eh? A... already?

Ginji-chan.

Ah, Daichi, what's up?

Let's play.

Ah.. ah.. Come in.

That's hot!

Yay!

Yahoo!!

He's like a five-year-old. -Haru!

Yahoo!!

Rei-san! It's not good to only stay there!

Let's get a tan together here!

I'll go there later~!

That's hurt!

Dad, let's play together.

Aah...

Then I'll make a sandcastle.

I'm not such a little girl anymore.

Is that so.

Well, let's go for a swim.

I'm not really a good swimmer.

I'll go over there and rent some floats.

Okay! -I'm going.

Wait.

Let's go together.

You're going out?

Yeah, I'll show Daichi around and go to the bathhouse on the way back.

Woah, that's good for you, Daichi.

Yeah. I'll get going.

Have a nice day.

Okay.

And that one, too, please.

Okay. -You're borrowing too much.

Eh? Really?

Dad! -What?

There.

Let's bury it. Let's bury it.

What? What a coincidence!

Everyone~!

Itsuki-chan.

It's One-chan! -Itsuki-chan!

So everyone are here too. -Yeah.

Eh? It's not a mere coincidence, right?

Kurosaki-san texted me saying "Which sea beach do you gonna go?".

It's just like him.

It's a strange coincidence that we're in the same beach.

That's right.

I'm sorry to interrupt your little family reunion.

Huh?

Oh, nothing. It's just a lame joke.

I was just building a sandcastle.

Let's do it together, One-chan. -Sure.

Okay, then let's get Kurosaki-oji-san to help us.

I'm a professional in this. I'm gonna get serious in this.

Please!

Quick.

All right, let's put there next.

Okay. Have a nice day.

Kurosaki-san! -Dad!

Didn't he heard Itsuki-chan's voice? -Dad!

What is that? It's amazing. -Wow, that's amazing.

Wow. I wonder who made that.

Wow, this house is so cute!

This here is Haru's house.

That big shell, Shizuki's the one bring it.

Woah, amazing~!

It's like it's opening his mouth.

The house is interesting.

They all look different.

I can feel the smile on the face of the house, even from the outside.

What's wrong?

I was just remembering Midori's words.

Hey, you know those pop-up books?

Yes.

When I was a kid, I got a picture book with a castle that pops up.

I don't remember what it was about, but I liked it so much where I kept looking at it.

Is that what led you to pursue your current job?

I'm not sure...

Now that I think about it, you might be right.

Picture books can be a trigger for children's dreams, right?

A pop-up book?

All right, let's break it down.

Eh? No, it's a waste.

If it breaks, we can make another one.

I feel like that's what Nijiya teach me.

All right, everybody, let's become a monsters and destroy this castle.

Are we gonna destroy it? -Yeah.

We gonna destroy it really hard.

Dad, is it okay to destroy it? -Yeah. We can build it again.

Huh? Isn't that a Kaiju coming?

Oh, yeah. Let's go.

Oh, shit!

I should take a picture before destroy it.

Yeah...

Even without a picture it's a memory you'll never forget, right?

Yeah, Shizuku will never forget it.

I've got an Idea. If we draw a picture of it, we will never forget it.

You're really like your mom.

Yes.

Ah, that's right.

Let's take a video and send it to Meiku-chan and the others.

Haru want to show it to Oni-chan.

We should go back.

Um.. but just now... -Let's do this together.

Then I'd feel sorry for Daichi-kun.

If really want it, I'm going to do it with dad alone.

That's right. -That's hurt!

If it's need to be done, it need to be done together, right?

Yeah... well, if that's okay with you.

Let's go back.

Dad, let me help you bring the floater.

I'm fine.

Even from the back, Kurosaki-san looks so happy.

His face was still as sullen as ever.

I'm okay.

I wonder if Sou-chan would make this a beautiful picture.

Ginji-chan, let's go for another round.

Okay, nice. Let do it again.

I'm back. -Welcome back.

Welcome back, mom.

Welcome home.

I'm home.

What have you been up to today?

I've been playing with Ginji-chan all the time. We even went to the public baths.

Oh, the first bathhouse experience!

So, today is your special day where you have the Ginji-chan...

...by yourself all day along.

Yeah, that's what I was after.

Oya-san, I'm really grateful to you. -Don't you feel tired?

No, it was good exercise.

So, you'll be sitting there all day.

Like I said, don't treat me like an old man.

Oh, I got a video from Shunpei-san Let's watch it!

Get ready! Triple Red!

Triple Green! -Triple Pink!

What was that...

Triple Aqua! -That's right! Three Four!

Triple Jump~! -Triple Jump!

Yay!

Shunpei's the one who's the most excited.

Rei-san seems to be having fun.

Come on, let's go.

Dad, come closer or you're not gonna be in frame.

More.

Um, dad, it's a video.

What should I do, -Just make a move.

Today I'm playing with dad at the beach~!

Umm, you don't look like you're having fun.

Today. together with Itsuki...

We're playing at the beach~!! -Aaah!

It's a sea~!!

Itsuki-chan also seems to have a good time.

It's good for them.

I've sent it to everyone.

Can you send it to me too?

Sure.

Speaking of that, let's send a video saying we're having fun, too.

Yeah, together with Ginji-chan and Sou-chan too.

If you gonna bring Oya-san upstairs to take a video...

It's very rare, and I think everyone will be surprised.

I'll get him.

Let's go upstairs and check what happened there together.

I've told you a million times I'm not going upstairs.

Why are you so reluctant?

I'm an old man. Stairs are hard for me.

You just told me not to treat you like an old man!

Ginji-chan.

Let's go.

I said don't push me. -Come on. Go up, go up!

It's hurt. I said don't push me.

Oh, here it comes.

How many years since you've been upstairs?

It looks like this now.

Everything have changed.

No, nothing's changed...

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Ji-chan, what's wrong?

I'm just reminiscent of the past.

This second floor,

I lived here with my family.

To do this, we renovated the second floor, which used to be a store.

I still remember that.

That's why I didn't want to come upstairs.

Even now,

I could almost hear my family voice.

Me too just now,

I had a similar thought.

When I'm all alone,

It felt like everyone was here.

That's what it is.

It's called "everyone's home".

Okay, I'll play it.

Thanks for sending the video, guys.

Shunpei, you're getting too excited!

I'm going to sing a song in a house where no one is home.

Whoo!! Eh, really?

- Even if no one is around

- Everyone's warmth is there

- I hear voices even when no one is around

- The voice of "I'm home" and "Welcome back"

Shh.. -Did you heard something? What's that?

What? Oya-san is at 2nd floor?

That's right.

It's Kaiju. -Any bad boys in here?

Oya-san, that's Namahage.

Instead of costuming as Kaiju (monster), the old man costuming as Namahage, which is demonlike beings from Japanese folklore.

Are there any bad kids...

Okay, we gotta go, have fun.

Bye bye~!

They were playing with Kaiju over there, too. -Yeah.

I'm glad Daichi enjoying himself too. -Yeah.

Then, can dad go outside for a while?

Sure.

Then, I'll go for a while. -Okay.

I'll go on. -Be careful.

Hey, can mom also go outside for a while?

Sure. -Thanks.

Okay, just for a while.

Rei-san. -Sorry to bother you.

Ah, please have a sit.

Can I also hear it.

Huh?

Midori-san's voice. -Eh?

I wondered what she was like.

It's all downhill on the way back.

Houses are interesting. Everyone has a different face.

Inside each of those windows is the life of the people who live there.

Decades have passed,

there were so many happy and sad things that happened.

How should I describe this feeling?

I feel so good right now.

Midori-san's sounds so lively.

The light, the air, the invisible things here,

I took it all in with my body.

See you again tomorrow.

I'm the one who sent Midori on the trip,

but I don't know if I should have.

I've always regretted it.

But when I heard her voice here, I felt a little relieved.

Midori-san really enjoyed herself over there, didn't she?

She's so carefree and absorbed in her work...

...that it's as if she'd forgotten about me and Haru.

How could she forget about you two?

Ah, yes. That's true, but...

If you say it like that,

it'll make Midori-san feel bad.

Ah...

Sorry.

To Midori-san,

both you and Haru-kun...

She always...

In here.

Always in here.

I think that's why even she's traveling alone, she still enjoyed the trip.

She's believe there's people waiting for her to be back.

Every time she moved, every time she laugh,

she was wondering how should I talk to you and Haru-kun.

What face that they would make.

That's Midori's motivation.

And Meiku-chan's song from earlier,

and Midori-san voice...

It feels like it deliver the same message.

Eh?

There was a house there,

where we saying "Welcome back",

then telling about happy and sad things happened outside,

it's when we have someone to share it with.

And saying "I'm home", make you feel like you've a place to go.

So instead of being alone,

we'd be more relax in that way.

- Even if no one is around

- Everyone's warmth is there

- I hear voices even when no one is around

- The voice of "I'm home" and "Welcome back"

I'm sure...

...that people around Midori-san will be cheerful.

Since she's kind of person who can cheer you up.

Yeah, that's true.

Hearing Midori-san's cheerful voice,

It makes me feel like I should try something, and do my best for it.

From the moment I met Midori,

she's always made me feel that way.

Looking at her drawings,

she told me about her dreams on creating a picture book like that,

Without realizing it, I said "I'll make sure that this will come true".

I'll make it sell well. My body already burning inside out.

You had a good relationship.

Shall we go back?

Yeah, I think both of them already worried about us.

They'll be fine, since they're together.

Sure.

Let's go. -Yes.

Sosuke, that's enough. I'll take care of the rest.

You guys should enjoy your summer too.

Are you sure about it? -Yeah.

Daichi, you wanna sleep with Ginji-chan tonight?

Yes, I'll be staying at Ginji-chan's room tonight.

Is that so. Then...

What should we do? Do you want to go to karaoke?

I'm going~! -Let's go~!

I'm glad you're here.

Sure.

Today, I think I can draw a picture diary too.

Me too. Since It was a special memory for me.

I hope we can come back next year.

Sure.

Rooftop.

It's been years.

Ginji-chan, can you play catch ball?

Of course. Should we play?

I think I just got it earlier.

If I'm never get to this place,

I'll never create a song with such theme.

That's good to know.

Well, I guess that's why I owe you.

Huh? Thanks to weird hashtag, I met everyone,

also I'm now a working mom,

that's why I can create and sing the song now.

Please hear this. The Song of Melon Bread.

~Melon Bread from Melon

That's the song. -It's not like that.

But really, thank you.

I appreciate it.

You're welcome~

Here. Nice catch.

Nice catch. -Of course. Here.

Why don't you do the same? -Huh?

Picture. Why don't you just do it.

Like I said, I'm more comfortable cooking okonomiyaki.

I'm sure you can still take a picture, even if you've become the okonomiyaki's Oni-san, right?

Well, I've already given up.

Ginji-chan?

Hello?

Ginji-chan is...

What?
