I really wish we could live like this again.

I don't know if it's possible anymore.

Is anyone living upstairs now?

It's me...

...Together with my family.

So then, it's not gonna work.

Sou-chan?

I'm sorry about earlier, okay?

I wonder what it is.

When I was looking at everyone's face,

I suddenly felt that I was a lucky man.

I'm surprised by myself.

Sou-chan, don't underestimate our family.

Em?

It's nothing. You just look serious.

I'm always look like this when I'm working.

Do you remember?

"Take it easy, let me listen to you".

That's the first thing you said to me on this rooftop.

Let's change position.

Now, it's my turn to listen to you.

Anytime is okay.

Now, we're different than we were back then.

Tomorrow also the day after tomorrow,

we'll be together forever.

Always together huh...

That's right.

Em.

Shunpei. -Um?

Tomorrow...

Why don't we go visit Oya-san together?

Alright.

I'm looking forward to working with you.

Okay, let's start with Shunpei. -Okay.

About the image, it's a hill surrounded by the sea.

The main character is an old house that standing alone.

It's like these old European wooden buildings.

It's nice. -Right.

After School Children's Class?

Yes, so far I've given the children drawing paper and given them a "summer vacation picture diary" assignment.

But if I just handed them a piece of paper and said nothing,

What will they do?

They can draw anything in this white drawing paper,

or they don't have to.

They can fold them into paper airplanes or tear them into confetti.

They also can roll it up and make it into a ball.

Each kids can bring up their potential freely.

Okay... -Experimentally,

I want to create such a free space after school.

But what's really going to happen? -I don't know either.

That's why I want to try it.

So It's just a matter of course, right?

Yes, that's it!

Excuse me, we're the family of the Oji-chan who's in that bed.

He just using a wheelchair to the courtyard.

He's together with his daughter. -Daughter?

Yeah.

Oya-san... -He's here.

You don't need to come here. Just go back.

I'm leaving, but...

...Please let me do something a little more filial.

Heh...

Who's that? -Oya-san's son's wife.

Yesterday... actually, she came to the shop in the evening.

Did you tell Tatsuya that you were going to meet me?

I just left a note saying I'm coming to see your dad.

In a way, it's a declaration of war.

It's like "I'll go on my own, but what about you?".

I don't know what you're saying.

Tatsuya-san closed his shop last year,

and now work as a normal company employee.

But it's not like he's giving up.

He's now saved up money,

and been thinking about opening his own shop again someday.

Until then, I don't think he wants to see his dad.

I don't know who he become like.

He's stubborn as hell.

My true intention is...

Tatsuya-san...

...and his dad could make a fresh start at Nijiya.

I told you.

That shop...

...If I can't manage the shop later on, it'll be the end.

It's not a place for you to come back.

How old is Hayato now?

14 years old.

He's taking a high school entrance exam next year.

Ehh....

That boy who just running everywhere in that shop...

It seems that he has his own dream now.

Maybe someday, he want his grandpa to listen to himself.

You want to bring Oya-san and his son back to the way they were,

but if you do so, everyone will be...

That's what's been bothering you.

I don't know what to do...

I couldn't tell.

But we know to this extend,

it's wrong for us to just pretend we didn't hear this and do nothing.

Come on!

Okay.

Oya-san, I've heard everything you've said.

What are you up for... It's none of your business, so stay out of this..

But I can't pretend I don't know anymore.

Let's make it up with your son.

I have nothing more to say.

Then, please call your husband.

Eh? -That's right.

Let us talk to him. -You don't have to do that!

Please let us do it.

Well... I don't know if he's gonna answer my call now...

I got a text from my husband.

Dad, he took my bait.

He said he's on the way to Nijiya to get me back.

Nijiya?

So, his wife...

...saying that she want to live here again, right?

Em...

Of course, I said no to her since we're living here now.

But Shunpei-san and you want to help them make up, right?

When they made up back,

what's gonna happened if they decide to live here again?

What are we supposed to do?

That... -Sorry.

I haven't thought about that yet.

Well, it's no use to think about it now.

I'll just go with the flow.

I'm sorry for getting ahead of myself.

It's nothing.

I've always thought I was a scaredy-cat.

I've come to live here with you all,

and I'm trying to enjoy the process, but...

...I'm still not growth enough.

I'm also really worried about what's going to happen to us.

But... -Don't worry.

The two of you are so nosy and needy, but you can't help yourselves.

Ridiculously kind.

We know you're thinking of all of us.

But,

Shunpei-san...

...Let me tell you how I feel.

Me... and Shizuku,

also everyone,

we all want to live here.

I don't think I'm that bad.

That's not my dad's thing.

But the smell in the store hadn't changed at all.

Have you met my dad yet? -Yes.

Dad's currently in the hospital. -Eh?

I went to visit him today,

he looked fine. -Is everything okay?

Yeah, he'll be out soon.

Is that so... Did you tell him about me?

Just a little...

You've been asking a lot of questions, so let's talk inside.

Welcome~! -Welcome~!

Please, have a seat.

If I don't move my body, I'll start thinking about unnecessary things.

Let me help you.

Ah... thanks for your time.

They're the one that living upstairs now.

Here?!

Welcome~! -Welcome~!

Why are you here...

What are you... doing here?

No... It just...

Where's Itsuki? The GPS bring me here.

Ah, are you Itsuki-chan's mom?

You said you gonna pick her next week... -Ah, I didn't tell you but...

...my schedule has changed. Itsuki didn't tell you that?

So where's Itsuki now?

Itsuki is upstairs now.

What? I don't get it at all...

Why are you in the kitchen of Okonomiyaki's shop,

and Itsuki currently upstairs?

Um, first of all...

Let's go upstairs and talk.

Let me explain to you what happened while you were away.

You guys are...

Oh, um, we're...

Um...

Itsuki-chan's....

...family. -Huh?!

What are you saying? I'm her family.

W....wait...

I'll leave her to you, and I'll settle this one.

Okay.

Madam, let's go upstairs for now.

I'll take your bags. -This way.

Please go this way. -What this mean?

Please take off your shoes. -Kurosaki-san, let's go.

Can I leave it to you?

Of course not.

Right...

I'm sorry, but things got a little hectic here.

That okonomiyaki gonna burn.

Ah! Excuse me. We'll talk later.

Excuse me. -Yes, I'm coming~!

I'm gonna go help him.

Thank you for waiting.

Sorry Itsuki.

The other day, we went to the beach together.

Eh? Together with your dad?

That wasn't fun, was it?

Nope.

Look. -I'm at the beach with Itsuki.

It's the sea~!

It looks like that they're having fun... -They look happy, right?

at first, dad looked like he was mad at me the whole time.

But now I know various kind of dad's face.

To me, he just show that mousy face though.

You talk to much, didn't you?

It's because you were with everyone.

Yeah.

Hmm. With everyone.

Um... fom Kurosaki-san,

I heard that you're working in the music industry.

Well.... -Mom is a singer who's active oversea.

Ah... are you that famous?

Please search for Mayuzumi Rinko. -Okay.

Say mom.

Yes?

I want you to listen to the Daichi-kun's mom's song.

What?! -Huh?

Daichi-kun's mom is a singer too.

Ah.... Yes.

Ah then....

Can I....hear it?

How's here? -I haven't told them anything yet.

It's so tense being watched by him all the time.

Sou-chan, make sure you cook okonomiyaki perfectly.

I'll go get him.

I'm sorry about earlier. -It's nothing.

Welcome~!

Oya-san... -It seems...

I couldn't sleep in the hospital.

You didn't sneak out of the hospital, did you?

Of course not. I have a proper talk with the doctor.

Please have a seat first.

Sorry to make you worry.

I'll be back in action in no time. You can rest assured.

I want to do a proper "welcome home" when you come back here.

It's been a while.

I think you're straining yourself.

How's there? -Huh?

I...

It looks like an audition.

How do you want me to listen?

Should I be flattered in return for your kindness to my daughter?

I don't need flattery. If you think I'm not talented,

please say so.

Okay, well, let's hear it then.

~ Trust in the wind

~ I've come to see you

You're the one that taking this photo? -Yes.

It's 8 years ago.

It's a nice photo.

I remember this day very well.

It's a special memory...

...for our shop an family.

I can't forget it either.

~ I've always loved you.

- Crying and laughing

- I've been walking

~ You gave me the freedom

- We can meet anytime

- No matter how far away

- I can't stay away

It's been a while since you've been upstairs...

A lot of things have changed.

Huh...

- What kind of future song

- Let's play along, laughing

- Even though we're far apart, we won't disappear

- Resounding with a voice that conveys

- No matter what the sky is like

Excuse me. -Yes.

Please wait a moment.

What's with the kitchen? It's empty.

- such a gentler song

- Overlapping

- With your voice

- Becoming One

Thank you very much.

How was it? -Aah...

Why are you looking at me like that?!

Huh?

Oh, no, nothing.

It's... hard to say.

I'm only telling you.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Itsuki, let's come home with mom.

Go ahead.

Wow...

It's fashionable.

I'm surprised on what a man can see.

This... they still keeping it.

The first glove my dad ever bought me.

Sorry, I forgot something.

Em?

Please wait a sec.

I forgot to tell yo something ,dad.

What is it?

Thank you for bringing me here!

Dad also want to thank you.

It was fun for being with you.

Will I ever see you again?

No.

We'll keep playing together.

Can we have dinner together?

Okay.

Even if we don't live together,

Dad...

...and with everyone here...

...will always be a family.

That's right. Wherever you are,

Even though we were apart,

we'll always be family.

We have the proof of family that you gave us, Itsuki-chan.

ジャーン ジャーン

Triple Ten, big group pose!

Three four.

Triple...

Ten!!

Se you later everyone~!

See you again, Itsuki-chan.

Is it okay if you just sit here and watch it go?

Go.

I'll just... go over there and see her off.

We're closed for the day. Take your time.

It's hard to talk about it in a formal way, isn't it?

It's the same...

...when I'm divorcing my husband.

Couples, parents and children,

There are a lot of things you don't need to talk about to know it.

But still...

I think there are things you have to talk about to know it better.

We're not a real family,

so we talked about a lot of things.

Sometimes we just have to show each other what's on our minds.

That's why we've become like a real family.

Please past it.

In form of word.

It's been a while since you've stood in front of a griddle.

Eh?

Let's see how far your skills have fallen.

Please.

Pork balls.

Okay.

Umm.. -Yes?

What did you say to Daichi-kun's mom earlier?

Aah...

All of your thoughts have been heard.

Thank you.

That's my gratitude to her.

Mom -Yes?

Can you sing that song?

Since I'm pro, I could do it after I listen to it once.

Sing it. -Eh? Here?

Yes. Well.... Wait a sec.

Dad. -Huh?

Can you take a picture of me singing with my mom?

Eh?

Dad, you ready?

One two three.

- Trust in the wind

- I've come to see you

- I hear voices even when no one is around

- "I'm home." and "Welcome back" voice

ジャーン

- I want to deliver it to you

- I've always loved you

- Crying and laughing, I've been walking

- You gave me freedom

I think it's time to turn it over, don't you?

Not yet. I know exactly what I'm doing.

Just like 8 years ago.

Our family, too.

Let's talk about it.

Yeah...

Here! Ahh~ -1 more time.

I think it's best for him to come back with his family again.

Everyone else are thinking the same, right?

Yeah... -But this house is already on it's limit,

So for that, me and Daichi will leave.

Eh? -Rei-san and Shunpei-san will stay here.

This is the first time I've ever been approached by a pro,

I'm so glad that this happened.

I feel more confident and I feel like I can do this.

I'll start again together with Daichi.

No, wait a second...

I mean, it's the only way.

Meiku-chan, you gonna stay, me and Shizuku will leave.

Since I came here...

Thanks to all of you, I've became stronger.

I'm okay now.

I'm not the person I was before.

I know that I have a family that will support me when I leave here.

Wait... Um...

Why don't we all just calm down and talk about it?

Sou-chan.

All of us...

Everyone...

I think it's time for us to turn into the next page, isn't it?

We have a place to go back to.

So we all can take a new step.

Yeah.

That's right. You can just continue to stay here, Sou-chan.

No, that's not what I...

But...

Is that for the best?

Are you sure that's the one that all of you wanna do?

if...

Let's say my life is a storybook.

Before I met Sou-chan, Midori died.

I was happy every day...

...but as soon as I turned the next page,

It's all gone dark.

But then I met Sou-chan again.

After that I came here.

I took a leap of faith and opened the next page to find myself in a world of fun.

All the time,

I wish I could just stare at this picture.

I wish I could, but...

Let's all go to the next page.

I don't know what the future holds for us though.

It's the same as the melon Kurosaki-san treated me to.

Every day that we spent here...

..was a very sweet days to remember.

It feels like we can continue it for another five years.

But still... -All of us,

even we're apart,

we're always a family.

Yeah.

It was my selfishness... that brought everyone into this.

It's not a selfishness.

Everything we've done so far... we've chosen and decided for ourselves.

Besides, we're still on a mission.

Eh? -We need to convince Oya-san and his family,

to get back together,

and restarting the Nijiya into it's glorious day.

I wonder if we'll be able to convince them sooner.

And when we're done with that, we'll have to explain it to the kids, okay?

How do we gonna explain that?

Maybe that.

Working together to overcome any difficulties,

if friends in pinch situation,

we're gonna help them!

When friends in pinch situation,

we're gonna help them!

All right.

Thank you for waiting.

Looks like you haven't lost your touch.

You can tell me that after you've eaten.

Hmm.

Oya-san.

We've made up our minds.

Dinner's ready! Oya-san prepares a lot of it.

Shizuku, try do it yourself. That's right.

Then, ready.

Ittadakima~su!

I'm full~

Shunpei, here.

Ready?

It reminds me of a lot of things.

Sou-chan, sad story is no good.

When Meiku first arrived,

It reminded me of my own mom.

I've never been able to forgive my mother for leaving me, but...

Now,

If she's out there somewhere, I'd like to tell her something.

I'll say "I also have a real family with me".

I also have something to tell Midori.

We're gonna turn the next page.

You know what?

There's always, somewhere,

I feel like Midori's got my back.

To think that Midori is watching me,

I've been encouraged.

When you talk about family,

it's about surrounded by so many thanks.

Me too,

a lot of times,

I feel really grateful to all of you.

It's all because you made it possible for everyone to get together.

Thank you.

Hey, the sad story is no good.

Sou-chan!

Thank you!

Welcome!

Sou-chan.

Thank you.

Sou-chan, thank you.

Stop it already...

If everyone keep saying things like that...

Hey hey! Sad is no good!

Is I've been caught?!

I... Now being surrounded by everyone gratitude!

Rei-san! Meiku-chan!

Thank you!

Shunpei-san, Thank you!

Everyone! Thank you!

Thank you everyone!!

What all of you are doing~?

Midori, how's there?

I'm off!

Everyone, the white sample is ready.

Woah~!

Here -Woah~!

It's better than I expected. -Thanks.

The next page that just opened...

Mom, look here. -Em?

...is full of new adventures.

Ah, the view counts growing so fast.

That's great, Mom.

Ah, I've got an email.

Sorry to make you wait, let's begin now.

I didn't know that Kurosaki-san, who has specialized in big projects, was in the housing department...

It's not about big or small.

I've been always want to put my hand on building a new house.

You don't know what happens every day.

That was the fun part.

So this is what Rei-sensei wanted to do.

Yes.

Green Flash! -Argh~!

Haru-kun, that's a strong one. -Dad!

Please always look from up there.

Look for us, and our family.

I wonder if it's here~

Haru. -Is it here~?

It's here!

Is it here?

It's finally here. -Since it's still here,

that means it's not selling.

that's right.

I'm a home.

I'm standing on top of a hill.

From my window,

I can see the big ocean.

At night, I can see the big moon.

I'm a home.

A baby was born here.

There's a father,

also a grandpa.

And then another new baby was born.

I've been watching everyone.

Oya-san. -I'm fine.

I'll take a shot.

Nice. Well, I guess I'll just drop my stuff.

Okay.

I am everyone's home.

Please.

If someone in the family gets into a fight...

Even if someone in the family goes away...

I'm always waiting for you all.

～

- Trust in the wind

- I've come to see you

- I hear voices even when no one is around

Welcome~!

I have a big roof.

There's a strong wall.

That's why I'll protect everyone.

From rain or the wind,

or even the snow.

Woah~! -It's great.

It's amazing, right. -Nice.

Amazing~!

I know it.

No matter how long the rain,

I'm sure it'll come up someday.

Look at the sky after the rain.

I can see a big rainbow.

You can see it from your place, can't you?

We are under the same rainbow,

so even if we're apart,

we're always a family.

I wonder how the weather will be like tomorrow.

Shunpei-san.

Haru-kun! -Shizuku-chan!

Rei-san, please take a look.

Wow! This is everyone's home.

Is this Shizuku? -Yeah.

Here is Shizuku, so here is Itsuki-chan?

This is Ginji-chan? -Yeah.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I am everyone's home.

I'm waiting for everyone to come home.

The End
