Original subtitles

Ai, look at this.

It's you when you were still a baby.

Is that me? - That's right.

You were that small.

I was still young and people said that a child gave birth to a child.

You've got such a baby-face, mama.

And then...

This is from your first day at kindergarten.

I see.

Mama?

Mama?

Mama?

What's wrong, Ai?

Mama...

Ai.

How is Hitomi?

She's asleep.

What's that? - Hide it.

It confuses her.

Is that so? I'll take care of it.

I'm sorry for bringing her back home this late.

Every night she's cheering up my sick wife.

Sick?

It's a psychological matter.

Sensei's daughter died in a railroad incident.

That's why.

See you tomorrow.

I'll bring her back earlier.

She only told me about the curfew just now.

If that's the case...

I'm sorry.

So Bombi is asleep?

Welcome back, Post!

Donki! You too, Piami?!

Why are you guys here?

We only came to get our things.

Or rather, we were curious about what happened to Bombi.

But until just now you guys were all about 'when is Post coming home'!

Oh, shut up.

Are you guys staying over?

In short, tonight...

all night...

we will have a girls-only talk!

Oh yeah! I get it!

Let's live things up!

Which means...

Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan

Final episode: Call my name... Thanks for everything.

Farewell...

So you're transferring to a different school?

Yes.

How long does it take from your new home to get to the city?

About an hour.

Please come to my studio staring tomorrow.

You can't let your fingers rest for a single day.

We'll be continuing our daily lessons.

But...

Aren't you mad at me?

About the national competition...

Mad?

That I cared more about my dad than about the piano.

Why do you think that you can pick only one thing?

But the money for the lessons...

Don't say such things.

Sensei...

You should thank that girl.

She's a genius pianist, right?

Don't you want to be called her teacher?

That's what she said.

I want to be called that.

Post...

But I'm glad.

So you'll be moving to Kogamo no Ie.

I'm going to a place far away.

But Maou... I mean, what about your husband?

Please give this to him.

No!

Even if you go far away...

a former detective like him will be able to find you right away.

I talked to him.

At the café where we first met.

And?

He told me he loved me.

Without a change.

In that case...

He quit the police and started that home...

While he was facing children...

What did you think I did?

I was together with a man.

No way...

It was painful and lonely...

Not knowing the situation...

I only met a person who was nice to me...

No.

That's no excuse.

I was just running away.

That's the real honest reason.

I can't go back to him.

That hurts. What's wrong?

Igarashi-sensei told me...

I told you that your papa would be there right before the performance.

I felt responsible, so...

No, you're wrong.

You didn't tell me about my dad for my own sake.

But telling me only at the last moment...

was also for my sake after all.

I mean...

And for my sake you also went to my teacher.

That is...

Even though I didn't ask for it.

I never asked for anything!

Thank you.

Thank you, Post.

Oh, stop it.

When I first came to Kogamo no Ie...

I was really scared...

Maou was scary too...

and Otsubone was creepy...

Everyone thinks so in the beginning.

But you were there.

Because you were there...

I who was sad because I was abandoned my dad...

didn't feel lonely.

I'm sorry...

but please tell me that when you get famous.

You guys!

Ren-kyun!

Did you guys arranged to meet here?

Is it a date?!

With this the formalities are done.

I will send her over after this.

But when will you quit?

What are you talking about?

Your job. You were quitting, right?

The date is still under consideration.

I see.

When I quit this job I will start preparations to become a city council member.

City council member?

I want kids to be able to find a new home by themselves.

This is the result of me thinking about how to accomplish this.

There's still a lot of problems in this country.

Let's fight it for the sake of the kids.

Yes.

So you turned against your fiancé who wanted you to be a housewife?

Yes.

Donki.

Be happy.

What's wrong?

I mean, only I...

How dare you say that?

We will follow you soon and become happy.

Right, Bombi? - That's right.

We're just late-bloomers.

Donki.

There's no need to observe other's expressions anymore.

I...

am glad that I came here.

Thank you for taking care of me.

Make sure you don't come back.

Yes, Mister That's-how-I-feel.

I will always smile.

Lets go.

Farewell.

Maki.

Welcome back, Ai.

I'm back, mama!

What?

This is from Kaori-san.

Do you know where her apartment is?

Yes. - Get in!

When you are reading this letter...

I have already disappeared somewhere.

But this time I won't run away.

Meeting you once again, talking to you...

I also have to move on with my life for the sake of our child.

That's how I felt.

When you told me you love me.

I was really happy.

But I have gotten older too.

I can't just believe those words.

Those words showed me...

your kindness and feelings of guilt.

But that kindness...

is a cruel kindness to women.

You are too strong.

Your kindness towards me is too strong.

I'm fine now.

Don't worry.

From now on, I want to live my life too, so he won't be ashamed.

All for the sake of our lost child.

Maou...

I will give up on our son.

Please save my wife!

Maou!

Let's go home.

Yes!

Good morning. It's time to get up.

Just five more minutes...

It's time to go...

To the land of my dreams?

Yes, to the land of your dreams.

Bombi, wake up!

Come on, wake up!

They're here, Bombi.

The land of my dreams?

They're downstairs. - Who are?

Jolipi.

They came to get you.

To get me? Am I dead?

You're gonna live long.

Got it? Jolipi came here to adopt you.

Isn't that good, Bombi? Let's go downstairs.

I'm not going.

Hey...

Bombi, open up!

Bombi! Hey!

Hey! Bombi!

What's wrong?

She said she's not going. - Why?

Have them go home!

Jolipi came, you know.

They said they wanted a boy before.

Now they're changing? I can't trust them!

That...

And what if I go with them...

and they get their own real child later on?

That...

Won't they just tell me that they don't need me then?

That...

Go and ask them!

So she said...

Even if we'd get our own child...

we promise that we'd love her just as much.

So they said...

I haven't told Jolipi yet that I love horror movies.

Ask them if that's fine!

Zombie... I mean Bombi...

Go ask them!

That's what she said...

Then we'll turn down the lights...

and watch them while screaming together.

On my birthday I want a house made of candy and eat it all.

That's my dream. Can they make it come true?

What's wrong with that girl?

Just stop it!

What do you want by being that selfish?

Why not give it a try?

If you're not satisfied then tell it face to face.

I will listen to all of it.

If you don't want to come to our place then you should just say it.

I'm fed up with it.

Please wait. Bombi is just a bit excited...

That's right. She's not a bad girl.

I'm sorry, but we're going home.

We have thought it over and over.

It's true that we wanted a boy.

But we decided this when we found out her feelings.

But if she's playing a game with us...

then we feel insulted and we'll just go home.

Wait!

Don't go!

Just kidding.

I...

You chose me over others?

I'm not a boy.

I eat a lot.

There might be someone more suited for you...

I don't want someone else.

You're fine.

It has to be you.

Yuiko.

I want you.

I promise.

I will make you happy.

So will you promise me too?

To make us happy?

How...

By always smiling.

Then it's been decided.

It's decided.

There you go.

Um...

Can we do a live version?

Let's do it together!

One, two...

Jolipi!

It's become lonely, huh?

One left, then another one left...

Post.

I'm going too.

I'm going to live at the nursing school dorms.

Otsubone, do you want to be a nurse?

Don't you think cosplay looks good on me?

I guess...

I'm sorry for leaving you behind all one.

I'm going too.

To my homeroom teacher.

Their daughter who was the same age as I am...

died in a railroad accident.

Post...

Don't misunderstand.

It's not that I'm going out of compassion.

Sensei is really nice...

and he loves his wife more than anything else.

Being reflected in a lot of dark eyes makes me very happy.

I see.

I will be happy too.

I will definitely be happy.

Ai, you look good with your hair down too.

You think so? - Yes.

It makes you more of a girl.

Your face becomes that of a nice girl.

What's wrong?

I just heard a voice.

I heard Ai's voice.

What are you saying? I'm here, right?

There it is again...

She's saying 'mama'...

You must be tired. It might be better to take a rest.

You're right.

I told you I didn't need any.

I know. I'll eat.

It's better to eat it.

Locker...

It's painful...

Liking people...

Is it this painful?

It's like I'm losing myself.

What am I saying?

I'm the one who made that choice.

I won't be myself, but her.

I'll be Ai...

What can make you happier than your own mother loving you?

Tomorrow...

mama...

will be...

Donki!

Then I won't like him. - Post...

You're more important.

Donki!

Bombi. - I'm sorry. Am I late?

No. Let's go.

Can I cry for a bit?

Of course you can.

I canceled the engagement.

It was bound to happen.

Becoming a housewife...

Entering a household...

I promised to be a good wife and a good mother.

I told you about what is protecting me before, right?

Pride.

That's the only thing that we, who have nothing, have left.

It's no joke.

We're not sad.

But that... that pride...

We have to protect it by ourselves.

Don't you think so, Locker?

Ai...

Are you asking me whether I loved him?

You're right...

To be honest...

I still might not know what love is.

I'll be a mother only after I turned into a steady person myself.

Or else...

That's how much I have progressed...

What's wrong with you?

Mama! This way!

Hurry up!

Wait.

Ai, don't run so fast!

Mama!

Post is the replacement for sensei's daughter.

What do you mean?

She passed away in a railroad incident.

You knew?

Then why?

Because she wanted to.

Just like you guys did, she chose for it herself.

Am I wrong?

That...

Pardon my words, but that might be the ideal environment.

A parent and a child taking care of each other.

That's right.

Going to a place where she is needed.

Isn't that something for her?

That is something she'd want.

Becoming someone else by throwing herself away...

She's always thinking about others.

Isn't it fine then?

No problem, right?

What's wrong?

You guys have all found happiness.

Why can you only look at her as if she feels miserable?

Go home!

Go back to your own homes!

Ai...

The wife hasn't processed the shock of the death of her child...

and she thinks that Post is her daughter.

That's why she replies to the name Ai.

She's trying to be her daughter.

Director...

But that's what she chose for.

Even if she has to throw herself away.

But didn't she fall in love with that mother?

That might be so...

Isn't this the first time she got to...

grasp happiness? Does the form matter?!

I wouldn't be able to stand that!

But you're not her!

Don't compare someone's happiness with yourself.

But Post...

Don't you think she's tired of carrying that name?

Director...

Are you perhaps planning on closing Kogamo?

You are tired of it yourself...

That's right.

Post won't listen to anyone.

Because she has always been alone.

But I'm scared.

I feel like it might break Post.

What?

She won't need that anymore.

Just go away. - I'll bring her back.

If you say so...

I never would.

She opposes me more than anyone else.

A parent isn't the one who gave birth to a child.

What do you want to say?

Ever since she was a baby...

you have been raising her.

So she...

looks a lot like you.

A lot.

She chose for it by herself!

We're back.

A guest?

We finally have a buyer for our previous apartment.

Shall I pour some tea. - No need.

We'll go home soon.

Don't worry about that.

I'll do it.

You must be tired, mama. How about taking a nap?

I'm totally fine with this.

Thank you. This will finish the formalities.

Thank you too for going through all the trouble.

The death portrait of your daughter...

where is it?

I heard about the recent accident. I'd like to burn some incense.

Accident?

I'm terminating this contract!

Maou?

What are you doing?

We're going home.

Idiot! What did you do?

Director. - Cut the crap!

Ai! Ai!

What are you doing?

That girl is not your daughter!

What are you saying?

Darling.

Please stop it. My wife...

Listen up.

Adults who ruin children should go to hell.

That child is not your daughter!

I can understand how you feel.

I lost my own son too.

My wife was in pain too and it took a long time to heal.

Take it slow.

Just take it slow.

Time will...

This girl...

is a child at my institute.

She doesn't know who her parents are.

Perhaps that has made it easier...

for you to somehow think of her as your daughter from within.

But you do have a feeling that something is wrong.

Of course.

Because it's impossible.

I...

I want to let you realize that.

Don't you want to return to reality at times?

I...

She was just speaking to your expressions.

Without taking her eyes off it for a second.

That is because she felt that and it scared her.

No...

This girl reached out to you too.

She reached out to you as if you were her real mother.

Stop it.

She will completely turn into your daughter Ai.

Please take a good look at her.

Please take a good look for once.

Is this girl your daughter?

Mama...

No...

Mama...

She's not.

Mama!

I'm sorry.

Mama!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

Why?

I'll be going, Locker.

Thank you for everything!

Bye.

Mizusawa-san.

Where are you going?

Where? I will be 18.

Do you have a place to go? - Yes.

I will aim to be a nurse and live at the dorm.

You can just attend school from here.

The director told me to tell you.

If no one gives her a hand, then she should just stay.

That's all.

Can I really stay here?

Forever?

The sunset is pretty, isn't it?

Don't play dumb! Why did you do that?

Why? - It can't be helped.

What can't be helped?

I finally found happiness...

Happiness...

Why did you interfere?!

Shut up!

Got it?

I will say this only once, so listen.

I'll be lonely.

I'll be lonely without you.

You...

aren't called Ai.

You...

are my daughter.

You're my daughter.

Kids who have been abandoned have a hard time.

Parents who abandon their child...

also have to live with that regret.

What can you do about that?

Think about it.

Keep on thinking about it.

I will think about it too.

We all should think about it together.

So cool.
