Original subtitles

Mom.

Mom.

Mom, where are you?

Mom.

Suzume, are you up?

I'm up.

The entire Kyushu area...

Suzume, don't forget today's lunch box.

Okay.

And Suzume,

I will be home a little late tonight.

Just have something to eat for dinner.

Tamaki san has a date today?

Okay, enjoy the date.

I have some extra work to do.

Preparing the fishery experiment and stuff.

I'm leaving.

So beautiful.

Hey.

You...

Are there any ruins nearby?

Ruins?

I'm looking for a door.

If you mean abandoned village,

there is one inside that mountain.

Is that so?

Thank you.

It's beautiful, come on you.

Suzume.

Good morning.

Aya, good morning.

Why do you blush?

What, blushing? No way.

Yes, you're blushing.

Something happened?

I remember I forgot something.

Wait, you'll be late.

I...

Why?

It's here right?

This is the only place that has ruins here.

Hey,

excuse me.

Are you there?

Handsome guy.

I felt...

we might have met somewhere before.

It sounds so intentional, like I'm hitting on him.

I should go back then.

He mentioned something

about a "door."

What is this?

What happened?

What is this?

So cold.

What, what, what, what?

So scary.

Finally you're here.

Suzume san, you came to the school.

There it is, auntie's lunch box.

It's made with deep love again.

Well...

So,

there is a ruin at Kaminoura, right?

That old hot spring street.

Really?

There is a ruin I think, inside that mountain.

What's wrong with it?

A door.

Never mind, forget it.

What it is?

You made us curious, finish it please.

Strange.

Over there.

Is it a fire?

What, where?

Look, over the mountain.

What, where?

See, there's smoke in the air.

What, what are you talking about?

Aya, do you know what she's talking?

No.

But...

is it the smoke caused by fire?

It's so obvious.

What's wrong?

What?

Earthquake.

A 4 magnitude earthquake.

Is it shaking?

It's shaking.

Here it comes.

Earthquake!

Really?

Pass through, pass.

Go.

What happened?

Did it stop?

I was scared a little.

The notice was so crazy.

Hey.

Over there.

Look.

What have you been talking about sine then?

Suzume.

Are you okay?

You guys can't see it?

Wait, Suzume.

Daddy.

Why couldn't they see it?

What is that?

No way.

No way.

No way.

That door.

That man.

What are you doing?

Get out of here!

Hey,

are you alright?

What?

This is bad.

Earthquake alert.

Crap.

Watch out!

Get out of here.

Damn it.

Earthquake alert.

Why?

You can't leave the door open right?

Next year, let's have our family vacation here!

It's closed!

Favour returned!

Suzume

And...

that was...

It should have been sealed by the keystone.

why would you come here?

Why can you see the earthquake worm?

Where did the keystone go?

Earthquake worm?

Key what?

What are you talking about?

This place has turned into the Door.

The earthquake worm will come through the Door.

Thank you for helping me.

But, please forget what happened here.

Just go home.

But...

Wait, you are injured.

Miyazaki News Report

This earthquake was quite heavy.

Tiles were fallen off the roof.

Luckily not seriously damaged.

One should prepare beforehand.

Please go upstairs.

I'll go and fetch the emergency kit.

No need for that, I...

If you don't wanna go to the hospital, at least have your cut treated.

Capricious like a kid.

A child's chair.

Just now, at 13:20,

South of Miyazaki being the epicenter,

an earthquake with a maximum magnitude of 6 has occurred.

This earthquake would not cause a tsunami.

Furthermore, so far no casualties concern this earthquake was reported.

You seem familiar with this.

My mom used to be a nurse.

By the way, I wanna ask you so many questions.

I guess so.

You said the word "earthquake worm,"

what's that?

The earthquake worm,

is a strong stream of energy that moves under the isles of Japan.

They have no specific intention or target,

but would start to roughhousing when they accumulate enough distortion

and shake the earth.

But just now you defeated them.

That could just hold them for now.

If they were not sealed by the keystone,

they could still surface from other places.

Then there will be another earthquake again?

Preventing that sort of thing from happening is my job.

Job?

Would you mind telling me...

Thank you.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

My name is Sota, Sota Munakata.

My name is Suzume Iwato.

A cat!

It's so skinny.

Wait a sec.

You must be very hungry.

The earthquake just now is terrifying, right?

So cute!

Do you want to live with me?

Suzume, kind.

I like you.

As for you.

A hindrance.

Sota san, where are you?

How come? This is...

Sota san?

Suzume san.

I...

You did this to me?

Stop!

Wait, wait, wait!

No way!

Unbelievable!

Suzume!

Tamaki san.

Sorry, I'm quite busy right now.

Wait, where are you going?

I went home early because I was worried about you.

The earthquake.

You didn't answer my calls.

Sorry, I didn't notice.

I'm fine.

Wait, Suzume!

Don't go!

A cat?

What's that?

Excuse me.

What is this all about?

Suzume!

Where did they go?

What?

What's that?

Oh my god!

Sorry, excuse me.

Sorry for keep you waiting.

The security check is completed.

We are leaving the harbor now.

Did you see what happened just now?

Yeah I did!

What was that thing?

Some kind of toy?

It's a chair?

Quite well made.

Where did they go?

I've had enough!

Why are you fleeing?

What did you do to me?

And what are you exactly?

Answer me!

Suzume,

see you later!

I mean, today I'm gonna stay with Aya.

I'm sorry, I'll be back tomorrow.

Wait, Suzume!

It's not that I don't allow you to,

but...

What did you do with the emergency kit in your room?

You must have brought someone home today.

Though I hate to speculate this way,

but remember,

you can't be in a relationship with some weird man, okay?

No, I'm not! There's nothing like that!

Did you see that running chair, too?

No.

Sota san!

I have heard that this ship will dock in Ehime tomorrow morning.

The ship that the cat takes will also dock at the same harbor.

Is that so?

I bought some bread.

Thank you,

but I'm not hungry.

Okay.

Well, your current situation is...

I seemed to be cursed by that cat.

Cursed? Is it serious?

Are you suffering from any pain?

No, I'm fine.

It's warm.

However,

I must figure out a way to solve this problem.

Hum... Sota san,

I've been wondering this for a while,

the statue in the debris...

That's the keystone.

Did you pull it out?

Pulling is not a very accurate word...

I see.

You mean the keystone turned into that cat?

And it ran away from its obligations.

What? How?

You released the keystone.

And that keystone-turned cat cursed me.

Really?

Sorry, I...

What should we do now?

No.

It's my fault that I didn't find the door in time.

You did nothing wrong.

But...

Suzume san, I'm a Closer.

Closer?

To prevent disasters from happening,

I travel around Japan,

closing those Doors.

This is what Closers do.

You must be starving.

Dig in.

Catch that cat and turn it back to the keystone,

then seal the earthquake worm again,

that should break the curse, and I'll turn back as I was.

So you don't have to worry.

You should go home tomorrow.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, where are you?

Sota san,

what an interesting sleeping posture.

My heart beats so fast.

Thank you for travelling with Shikoku Mikan Ferry.

Today's so hot! Finally get here!

This ferry is destined for Osaka.

But where should I stay for the night?

The whole crew sincerely hope you will choose our ship again.

Suzume san.

You finally got up.

Souta san, you've been sleeping all the way up.

It even made me start to think that everything that had happened before was a dream.

Did I fall asleep?

Forget it.

So how should we to find the cat?

Shall we get the news at the port first?

What?

By the way, where is it?

Wait! You...

On the edge of Ehime?

That's a long way to go!

If you take the next ferry,

you can be home by today.

You...

What's matter?

White cat!

So cute!

It's a tiny cat.

What's your name? It's a tiny cat.

It's a tiny cat.

What's your name?

Daijin?

Daijin.

I always thought it looked like Daijin.

This is the cat.

Daijin.

It does look like a Daijin.

It's taking a tram.

We must catch up with it as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help, Suzume san.

Let's part here.

Be careful on your way home.

Listen!

If you don't go home,

your family will be worried.

Don't worry, my family is implementing a laissez-faire policy.

The trip is dangerous.

It would bother me if you had to come along.

Even if you say so, Sota san.

Look at this.

What?

It's dangerous

for you to walk around in front of people.

if you go on like this,

you'll be taken by someone before you find that cat.

There's no way out.

Suzume san, before finding the keystone,

I need more help from you.

We need to help each other.

Sota san.

Damn it!

You hold the other side.

You're kidding.

You really helped me a lot.

Thank you!

My pleasure! My pleasure!

You just acted like a magician.

How did you do it?

My body suddenly went into action.

I admire you so much.

I'm Chika, a second-year high school student.

You and I are in the same grade!

I'm Suzume.

Judging from your uniform,

you don't live here, right?

Yes.

I'm here for finding the cat.

You're from Kyushu?

Is it your cat?

Actually, no.

I think the place in this picture

should be nearby.

What's wrong?

Suzume?

I'm sorry.

I have an emergency, I gotta go.

Wait! What is it?

Suzume!

Does the earthquake worm appear everywhere?

The Door of this land has opened.

We must close it quickly!

It's too far to arrive by run.

How?

Suzume!

Chika!

I don't know what happened,

but it's urgent, right?

Get on!

Do you really want to go this way?

There was a landslide ahead a few years ago.

Nothing exists here anymore.

Is it a ruin?

I must go there, please.

Will there be another earthquake?

If we close the Door before the earthquake worm lands,

there would be no earthquakes.

It must work this time.

You just drop me off here.

Chika, I really appreciate you.

Wait! Suzume!

Suzume san,

you should stop right here.

Wait, Sota san!

It will be dangerous if you keep going ahead.

Go back to that girl!

Wait, you can't do it with that body.

I have to give it a try.

The school is turning into the Door.

Damn it. I can't even do...

Damn it.

It's starting to fall.

Sota san.

Suzume san.

Aren't you afraid to die?

No.

Suzume san, lock the door.

Close your eyes,

and think about how people used to live here

so that the keyhole will be opened.

Even if you say so.

Please. There's nothing I can do now.

Close your eyes.

There should be a lot of feelings here.

Feel these feelings and listen to them.

Good morning.

Good morning.

We have a test coming up tomorrow.

Are you studying?

It's also hot today.

We can't lose the next game.

You...

should come back after graduating.

Yearn day and night to call the God of Heaven.

Yearn day and night to call the God of Earth.

Be grateful for giving us heaven and earth.

We are in awe and trepidation.

At your will.

Now!

I shalt return it to you!

Great! Suzume san.

You stop the earthquake.

Really?

Unbelievable! We made it.

Wonderful!

Aren't we great?

Suzume, you're so good.

The Door will open again.

Keystone!

Wait!

Did it open the Door?

Are you in Ehime?

Wait.

Wait, wait. Suzume.

You said you were staying at Aya's house yesterday.

What mini trip?

It's not funny at all.

You must be back tomorrow.

Where are you staying today?

Minoru, we're going to the party.

You go first.

I want to talk to Tamaki.

I'm not talking about that.

How about the school?

Has Suzume reached puberty, too?

Anyway, tell me where you're staying today.

And are you really traveling alone?

Minoru,

what are you looking at?

Shigeru san said we should go to the party.

He's gone!

It's really annoying.

You are back.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Dinner is ready.

Thanks.

Suzume, may I have dinner with you?

Of course!

I'm sorry.

Please wait a moment.

What should we do?

You should go have your dinner.

Anyway, I don't feel hungry in this body.

Let's eat!

Yummy!

Wait. Are you crying?

Because it's so delicious.

Are you that hungry?

Due to the large number of guests,

dinner came very late today. I'm sorry.

Never mind.

I'm the one who should apologize.

Not only did you let me stay here,

but you also provided me with a bathrobe and allowed me to take a bath and even prepared this dinner for me.

Who is it?

It's my aunt.

Can't she find a boyfriend soon?

Is your aunt single?

How old is she?

She's in her 40s.

But she is very beautiful.

We depend on each other.

Aunt is my guardian.

It feels a little complicated.

But I feel like

I have caused a delay in my aunt's most important years.

I've been thinking about that lately.

You sound like my ex-boyfriend.

Right.

I hope she understands that it's time for me to be independent.

About the ex-boyfriend,

Suzume, have you ever dated a guy?

No.

Good, good.

Every man is bad in nature.

What are you talking about, Chika?

Boyfriend?

Do you want to hear a story?

-I'm tired of it. -I don't want to hear it at all.

You two should clean the bathroom next.

Seriously? He did that?

It's true. And...

It can't be true!

Right? Every man is a fool.

Thanks, Suzume.

Because of you, I had the chance to revisit the old place.

The place I went to today

was my junior high school.

But because of a landslide a few years ago,

the whole village was abandoned.

Suzume,

you look dusty and exhuasted today.

What have you done back there?

What's it with that chair by the way?

Who are you exactly?

My mom left me

that chair.

But now...

Sorry, I don't know how to explain.

Suzume must be a magician.

You're full of mysteries.

But I don't know why,

I just feel like

you must be doing something really important.

Thank you, Chika!

It must be something very important.

I feel the same.

How can you comment yourself like that?

I wonder why some people prefer to sleep in?

Who are you talking about, your boyfriend?

I told you, I don't have a boyfriend.

I'm just saying some people like to sleep in.

Usually, in this case,

a kiss will wake them up.

You're about to leave, right?

Yes, thanks for your hospitality.

You are always welcome to come again.

OK.

Look.

This guy is really something.

Where does this cat come from?

It's walking on the suspension bridge fearlessly.

Usually, no pedestrians are allowed to walk on Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.

It's really something.

Sota san! We have a trouble!

It's time to wake up!

Seriously?

Speaking of this,

it appears that you don't have a mouth.

Suzume san,

good morning, what happened?

Now you're asking?

Look, it's Daijin!

This guy's up to something.

God's nature is capricious.

God?

It will arrive at Kobe after crossing the bridge.

We should also...

Suzume, it's about time to go.

I'm changing clothes.

Just in time.

If you don't mind, you can wear this.

You are more suited to this outfit than I am.

Wearing a school uniform while carrying a chair

can make you exceptionally stand out.

Chika.

I don't know how to express my gratitude towards you.

It's fine.

You'll be back again, right?

Yes, definitely.

Suzume san.

It may be helpful to express your intentions more obviously.

Like, waving your hands or something.

If you wave your hands,

people will likely stop and be curious to see what is happening.

But it would probably look weird, if a chair started moving.

Great!

Seems like you have a common sense.

I hate it!

Can't we take a bus instead?

The next bus will be arrived in 6 hours.

Suzume san,

is this chair your mother's heritage?

Why does it only have 3 legs?

It's due to a childhood event,

which I don't quite remember.

But we once lost this chair.

When we found it, it only had 3 legs left.

Where would you like to go?

The bus won't come here.

It sounds nice, traveling alone by yourself.

Is it okay if I just drop you at Kobe?

Yes, thank you.

I was taking my kids back to see their grandma, and now we're coming home.

We also live in Kobe.

You got luck today.

Mom, we found something there!

What is it?

What?

Hey! Don't rummage through this lady's bag!

OK!

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

I don't get it, these kids seem to be staring at something.

What is it?

It's just a chair in my bag.

I see.

They're still staring at it.

Watch out, don't spill your drink.

Don't get the chair dirty!

I see!

Got it!

From here, I can see that amusement park.

I didn't realize it before.

Amusement park?

Look, it's right here over that hill.

I used to be taken there when I was a kid.

But it closed down later, due to a decrease in customer traffic.

Seems like they couldn't afford the demolition fee.

Now it lies abandoned, left to decay and disrepair.

Feels like there are more and more deserted places like this nowadays.

No way!

I was planing to send these kids to a child care center today.

But it suddenly closed.

I really hate this.

I'll have to go open my store later.

Guess I need to look for someone to look after my kids.

I mean...

Well, what games are we going to play?

Cooking game!

I want to make curry!

You can't eat these things!

Let's see who can get all the tissues out first.

No!

You can be our Mount Fuji!

I...

might not be good at dealing with kids.

Seems like you need my help.

Sota!

See, it's great, isn't it?

What a great toy.

It's really something!

Next is my turn.

My turn!

No way.

It can speak?

Really good, huh?

It's the latest AI chair robot!

What's its name?

Sota.

Sota, how's the weather tomorrow?

Sota, play me some music.

Sota, let's play the word game!

Sota, how's today's stock market?

Sota is not that smart!

What are you talking about, Suzume san?

It talks again!

Runaway?

But, I also remember things from my childhood,

like when I was in her age.

Weren't we once accustomed to feeling ashamed

of living in a small town or at our parents' house?

So, in a word...

Don't compare yourself with my daughter, okay?

You're right.

I kept asking her where she was going tonight,

but no matter how many times I asked,

she avoided the question and changed the topic

without providing an answer.

Have you checked her GPS?

She didn't share her location.

In that case, can you check her account?

It should be connected to Suzume's phone.

How's it going?

That kid went to Kobe.

Kobe?

That's pretty far.

I can't let her mess around anymore.

Excuse me, Tamaki san,

if there's anything I can help...

Minoru kun,

I'm going to take a day off tomorrow.

Then, I should take a day off as well.

Why? You better keep working.

You're right.

Suzume chan,

can you come over?

Coming.

Rumi san, you look beautiful.

I look different, right?

Are kids doing okay?

Yes.

They're sleeping well.

In that case, can you come give me a hand?

Usually, there won't be as many guests as there are today.

Boss.

Is this kid coming to help?

Exactly.

Welcome.

You don't need to greet these customers.

OK.

Lullaby.

And this, please clean these dishes as quick as possible.

OK.

Get me some ice cubes.

Got it.

I need two liquor glasses.

On it!

No, not these.

OK.

Welcome.

Suzume chan, we need three towels.

OK!

Where's that bottle of liquor?

Well... -Sasaki san's liquor.

I see.

Look, she looks so young.

Come drink with me.

Come sing with us.

You old dog, stop teasing this young girl!

So happy!

Then, let's drink.

I can't drink as much as Miki.

That'll do, whatever.

What do you mean by saying "whatever?"

Daijin?

Let's have one more shot.

Cheers!

Daijin! You're so good at drinking.

So cool. So happy!

No way!

Excuse me, who's the guy sitting over there?

He's a first-time guest here.

Guest?

Although he looks quiet,

he quickly became friends with these regulars.

Wait, you mean...

he doesn't look like a cat?

Does he?

He is a good-looking and calm guy.

Welcome.

Sorry, I have something to do.

Sota san!

Daijin!

What are you going to do?

Suzume, are you doing well?

Look, over here!

The earthquake worm.

Suzume, we must go there.

It's strange.

Is there an earthquake?

Really?

Miki, it's a little weird.

Where is Suzume chan?

It's the amusement park.

The ferris wheel

has become the Door.

Sota, look.

It's Daijin.

Suzume san.

I'll go catch Daijin and turn it back into the keystone.

In the meantime, you should...

OK, I'll lock the door.

Come on.

I'm leaving the door to you.

I can catch it.

I'm nimble and flexible!

I'm more getting used to be a chair.

I'll catch it this time.

Suzume, you are awesome.

Daijin.

I must turn you back

into your original shape today.

What's that?

Is it from the ruin?

What?

No way.

Mom.

Turn back into the keystone and seal the earthquake worm.

The Eastern Keystone alone will not last long.

No.

Why?

The duty has been transferred to you.

What do you mean?

You bastard, just disappear.

Daijin wants to play with Suzume.

With Suzume san?

Suzume san!

Suzume, what's going on?

What are you doing?

What are you looking at?

Suzume san!

Come back. Don't go there.

Suzume san!

Suzume san, that's inside the ferris wheel!

Sober up

or you will fall down.

Damn it.

Yearn day and night to call the God of Heaven.

Yearn day and night to call the God of Earth.

Be grateful for giving us heaven and earth.

We are in awe and trepidation.

At your will, I shalt return it to you!

It's ridiculous!

I want to come here with you guys again!

Today has become an anniversary.

We will come back here in the future.

We were so old-fashioned

as we came to the amusement park on our first date.

Dad, bring me here again next time.

Suzume san!

Come here.

Sota san!

Yearn day and night to call the God of Heaven.

Be grateful for giving us heaven and earth.

We are in awe and trepidation.

At your will.

Now!

I shalt return it to you!

Where is Daijin?

It ran away again.

Come inside.

What?

I was scared to death just now.

You were doing amazing!

Thanks.

Suzume san.

What did you see in the Door?

A very dazzling starry sky and a grassland.

That's afterlife.

You are able to see afterlife.

The afterlife

is considered the other side of the world,

where the earthquake worm dwells.

All the timelines exist simultaneously.

I can see it but I can't get in.

It is said that the deceased would enter an afterlife

that we real world people

could not reach or access.

Here comes the bad girl.

Suzume chan.

Where have you been?

I'm sorry...

Do you know how worried I was

when you suddenly ran out at that time?

Never mind, she is OK.

Be that as it may.

We've done things like running away as well.

Anyway, let's eat first.

I'm sorry.

How about fried Udon?

All right, with a fried egg on top.

Would you like some tuna salad sauce?

Suzume chan, what would you like to add?

We usually add potato salad on top at home.

Fried Udon with potato salad?

That's terrific.

Consuming these calories must be difficult.

I feel so hungry.

Let's eat.

Delicious.

I definitely would gain some weight after eating this.

It's perfect now to drink some wine.

Shall we have some wine?

You have drunk so much.

But let's have some.

Hey, Sota should join us.

The potato salad is unexpectedly tasty.

Hey.

-Hey, hold on. -Should I make it for my boyfriend next time?

You don't have a boyfriend at all.

It's just a matter of time.

What's it with that chair?

It's so cute.

Is it for children?

Why do you sit on it?

To commemorate my arrival in Kobe.

I don't get it.

Have you been treated like a weird kid?

Right?

Sota, have you always been traveling like this?

Not always.

I have an apartment in Tokyo.

I plan to be a teacher

after graduating from university.

Are you a university student?

Yes.

You mean you have to work?

What about your Closer job?

This is a job that has passed down from generation to generation in our family

and will continue to be passed down.

Only working as a closer alone can not make a living.

I see.

This job is evidently crucial.

It's better to keep a low profile

when doing important work.

I need to change back as soon as possible,

then I could be able to work as both a closer and a teacher.

But,

I will...

soon be

somewhere far away.

The light is fading.

My voice is fading.

My body is fading.

My heart is fading.

It's so cold.

So cold.

I...

So this is the end I'm coming to.

Sota san!

Sota san!

Good morning.

You finally wake up.

Someone has posted the photo of Daijin on the Internet.

See.

Suzume.

What did you do to me just now?

Nothing.

I wanted you to help out at the store today.

I was hoping to count on you.

Suzume chan, here you go.

You're more like a runaway girl now.

Rumi, thank you so much.

Don't forget to get in touch with your parents.

OK.

Oh no!

I totally forgot about aunt Tamaki!

There are 55 messages.

What? She is coming to pick me up?

Suzume san, we can make it to the next train now.

Go get your ticket.

Do we have to take Shinkansen?

Because...

I know where Daijin is.

And the fastest way to reach there is taking a Shinkansen,

all the way to Tokyo.

My savings are almost used up.

Remember to pay me back the money, uni boy!

OK, deal.

Sota san, you see.

Look.

Shinkansen is so fast.

Is it cool?

Well, it is pretty fast.

Next station is Atami.

Sota san, did we juste...

What?

Did we just

miss Mount Fuji?

Look.

You are supposed to tell me when you see it.

Right.

I was hoping to take a look at it.

Sorry.

Next station is the terminal station, Tokyo.

Thank you for taking Shinkansen.

You have arrived at the terminal station, Tokyo Station.

Suzume san,

that way!

Right.

Left.

Go up that escalator.

Take the train on the left.

Get in.

Run.

Get off at the next stop.

I feel like I'm a horse being bossed around.

I wanna go somewhere before we go find Daijin.

Could you make a call for me?

Welcome.

I'm Iwato.

We spoke on the phone.

Oh I know.

I've heard that you are Sota's relative, right?

Here is the key of the room.

Room 301

Goodbye.

Sota san is really a social butterfly.

When will he end his journey and come back?

Somehow it's lonely when he's not around.

He's so sweet and cute.

Such a handsome boy.

Social butterfly is an overstatement.

Please come in.

Excuse me.

I wanna look up something.

There's a cardboard box on that shelf.

Could you take it down for me?

Can I step on you, Sota san?

You should have asked that before you stepped on me.

Is this...

the earthquake worm?

Yes.

And this is the keystone.

The western keystone and the eastern keystone.

Keystones?

There are two of them.

If a catastrophe cannot be averted by simply closing a door,

then keystones will be used to seal it off.

So,

as time passes, the position changes.

The keystone that was once located in Kyushu

has now shifted to Daijin on the run, right?

Another keystone is here.

Right in Tokyo.

Right now it's suppressing earthquake worm's head.

I wanna know its specific position.

Which region of Tokyo?

There should be a huge Door.

The Door of Tokyo

was opened once a hundred years ago,

causing a catastrophe in the Kanto Area.

It was later closed by the Closers.

Daijin

might want to open that Door again.

No.

Seems the relevant recordings are all blackened.

Why's that?

Is the location confidential?

Looks like we have to ask my grandpa.

Grandpa?

He is the one who raised me up.

He's been hospitalized recently.

I really don't wanna let him down

in this kind of state.

Sota, are you in there?

Hey, you're in there, right?

The windows's open.

It's Serizawa.

Such a bad timing.

Who's that?

My acquaintance.

Can you cover for me?

Sota, can I open the door?

Here I go. I'm opening the door.

He's not a bad person.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm his little sister.

Does he have a sister?

We're cousins but close as siblings.

May I ask,

you are Serizawa san, right?

Teacher Qualification Certificate Exam?

Yes, the secondary examination was yesterday.

It is unbelievable that Sota did not come to the exam room.

Exam was yesterday?

He's such a fool.

Four year's hard work is all in vain.

I worried too much about him to do my best.

You...

your name is Suzume, right?

If you can contact Sota,

tell him that I'm too pissed to see his face again.

But 20,000 yen

He still owes me 20,000 yen.

Ask him to pay me back.

But I heard something's wrong

about his family's career.

He's too careless about himself.

I'm so pissed off.

Goodbye.

Is it shaking?

Wait.

It stopped.

Are you alright?

So close.

That's a lot of birds.

Let's go.

Hey, wait.

I'm talking to you.

I didn't know at all

about your exam.

What should I do?

This is not your fault.

But it was me that pulled the keystone out.

We have to fix it today.

The cat must turn back to the keystone,

and change me back to myself.

What's going on?

So many birds.

Is it because of the earthquake?

Where is the Door?

Ahead.

In the downriver area.

Cat.

Suzume,

come and play.

Daijin,

wait.

What's that?

A chair?

What?

Daijin.

Turn back to keystone.

Only one keystone couldn't hold any longer.

No.

Why not?

Haven't you

understood yet?

Where did it go?

Sota san.

The Door of Tokyo

is in there.

How can we get there?

It stopped?

No.

For real?

It's doomed.

Earthquake alert.

The alert stopped, what happened?

It's pulled out.

The second keystone

is completely out.

Daijin!

We must stop the earthquake!

Suzume san.

I'm on my way.

No kidding.

Sota san.

Wait.

What?

Suzume san

Wait.

What? What happened?

Did you see that?

What's going on?

That's spectacular.

You are crazy.

But...

Suzume san!

I'm coming to save you.

Sota san!

The surface of Earthquake worm is unstable.

We'd better stay close.

Earthquake worm

has covered up the whole city.

Sota san,

we have to put the keystone back

and make Daijin...

Suzume.

The earthquake worm is falling down.

The earthquake is coming.

Daijin!

Sota san!

What happened?

From now on, a lot of people

are going to die.

Why are you doing this?

Turn back to the keystone.

I can't.

Daijin is no long the keystone.

You are the keystone.

Hey, you...

What can I do, Sota san?

Sota san

Suzume san.

I'm sorry,

I finally understand.

I didn't notice that before.

I couldn't notice that.

Wait, Sota san.

Your body...

Now...

Your body is freezing.

Now,

I am the keystone.

When I turned into the chair,

the duty of the keystone has transferred to me.

How could that be?

Is this how it's going to end?

In a place like this?

Sota san.

But,

the fact that I met you...

Sota san.

Sota san.

Sota san.

That's not Sota anymore.

Daijin, you...

Aren't you going to stop the worm with the keystone?

That sort of thing?

Because the worm is about to fall down,

and it's going to cause earthquakes.

It's already coming down.

Sota san.

Please get up!

Sota san.

He's not Sota anymore.

Sota san, get up!

What am I supposed to do?

Sota san! Sota san!

A lot of people are going to die.

History repeats itself.

No.

I've had enough of this!

Look at that.

That looks amazing.

Like an aurora.

A rainbow? But it's night now.

That's so pretty.

Mom, have you finished yet?

No, no, not yet.

Have you finished yet?

Nope, not yet.

Have you finished yet?

Just wait a little bit.

Have you finished yet?

Yes.

It's finished.

Happy birthday, Suzume.

Is that this kid's face?

This is a chair. Just for you.

Here. What do you think?

A chair just for Suzume.

Thank you, mom.

I will definitely cherish it forever.

Forever?

Then mom wouldn't have done it for nothing,

in that case.

For how long has it been cherished?

But I said I was going to cherish it forever...

Where...

is this place?

Sota san.

This is...

the Door of Tokyo.

Sota san.

I can't get in.

He's in the afterlife.

Sota san.

Sota san.

Suzume.

Finally, it's just the two of us.

Daijin, it's all your fault.

Give me back my Sota san.

No.

Why?

Sota san isn't human anymore.

Give me back my Sota san!

It hurts, Suzume.

Give him back!

I said you are hurting me, Suzume!

You asshole.

You don't like me? You don't like Daijin?

How can I possibly like you?

You do like Daijin, right?

I hate you!

Go away.

And don't talk to me anymore.

Suzume...

doesn't like Daijin...

I'm going to save you.

I shalt return it to you.

Look at that girl.

She's not even wearing her shoes.

Yeah, she looks awful.

She's all soaked up

And with bare foot?

Really?

Munakata san's vitals are almost stabilized.

It was a little dangerous yesterday.

Munakata.

Looks like Sota has failed.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

Sota-san told me that

you checked into the hospital.

Were you also involved?

What happened to my grandson?

He became the keystone and went to the afterlife.

I see.

I saw the earthquake worm through the window yesterday.

I wanted to be there.

But my body won't listen to me, it wasn't functioning.

So...

I want to know the way to the afterlife

Why do you want to know?

Because if I don't go and save Sota san...

There is no need to save him.

In the next few decades,

Sota will become the keystone that hosts the gods.

And we can no longer contact him in this world.

How can it be like that?

But there must be a way!

Are you trying to disappoint my grandson?

Who put the keystone in?

Umm...

Was it you?

But that was because...

Answer me!

It was me.

I see.

That's good,

because otherwise millions of people would have died.

Please take this as an honor, and never mention it again.

Go back to your own world.

This isn't something ordinary people can step in.

Just forger everything.

I can't.

I'm going to reopen the Door.

What?

I'll find a way to enter the door.

No.

You can't get in the afterlife through the door.

You can't open the door!

Wait.

The afterlife is beautiful,

but it's the world of the dead.

Aren't you afraid of it?

I'm not afraid.

Life or death,

It's just my fate.

I've always thought so since I was a kid.

But,

I'm afraid of the world without Sota san.

There's only one door you can enter

in your entire life.

You had been to the afterlife, right?

What did you see there?

I saw...

the younger me.

And my mom who's long passed.

You had probably accidentally entered the afterlife when you were a kid.

So you have to find the exact same Door.

It's been a while.

At last, It's been pull out...

Can you go with that kid?

Thank you for the help.

I'll use your shoes.

Sota san.

Hey! Wait!

I'm talking to you!

Suzume!

Serizawa san.

Where are you going?

Are you going to Sota's?

I'm going to find the Door.

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Hey, do you know how long I've been looking for you?

What?

You lied about being his cousin, didn't you?

It's none of your business.

Get in the car.

You're going to find Sota, right?

Wherever it is, I'll take you there.

Why are you doing this?

Is it wrong to worry about a friend?

What's going on?

Having a fight?

There you are, Suzume!

Aunt Tamaki.

Finally!

Do you know how long I've been looking for you?

And you bastard!

Get away from her!

Or I'll call the police.

Who is she?

This is the person you brought home, right?

You were tricked by him.

Let's go home.

I'm sorry, Aunt Tamaki.

Wait!

I can't go back yet.

Suzume.

Serizawa san, let's go.

Wait a moment, Suzume.

What's the matter with you?

I can't let you go alone.

-Wait, Aunt Tamaki, get off the car! -Suzume, come with me.

Can you two get in through the car door?

Is this a love triangle?

That man is so lame.

-You don't respond to any of my texts. -Calm down, you guys.

Come on.

So noisy.

Daijin.

The cat talked!

How can a cat talk?

- Yeah. - That's right.

- Cats can't talk. - Cats can't talk.

Compared to something like this...

- Destination setting is complete. - Serizawa san, so...

Please send me here.

It's so far.

What a stubborn kid!

Didn't you say you'd take me anywhere?

Please! I have to go there.

Are you kidding me?

Now there's no way back before noon.

What exactly are you going to do?

The song is too loud.

This is a good song to listen to when traveling, right?

Especially when we have a cat with us.

Suzume wasn't listening at all.

She was sleeping.

By the way, is that cat

owned by Suzume?

Cats are not allowed in our home.

Serizawa kun,

are you majoring in education?

Yes.

I want to be a teacher.

It's really a shabby car.

This car is second-hand, so it is priced super cheaply.

Pretty cool, huh?

Are you sure you're okay?

It takes more than seven hours to go there, just one way.

Your daughter isn't the only one who's looking for Sota.

She's not my daughter.

Suzume is my niece.

I adopted her after my sister died.

This kid and I have developed a bond resembling that of a mother-daughter relationship.

Suzume was just 4 years old at the time,

and she couldn't understand the sudden loss of her mother.

She had been searching for her mother and got lost once.

Suzume, Suzume.

Where are you?

Suzume.

Aunt.

It's all right.

I'm sorry.

I didn't pick up you sooner.

Suzume,

come to my home from now on.

Twelve years have passed since then.

I brought Suzume to Kyushu,

and we have been living together ever since.

Do you hate the smell of smoke?

It's okay. It's your car, after all.

So now we're going to Suzume's hometown.

Is Sota there?

Who knows.

But there's nothing left.

Maybe you should go back to Tokyo now.

Then maybe this kid will give up.

I'm afraid I can't.

I must get back the 20,000 yen I lent Sota.

You're acting like a debt collector.

Is it...

shaking now?

You're finally awake.

Now your aunt is asleep.

You all don't get enough sleep.

It's true. I was driving and didn't notice at all.

Please stop.

Suzume, wait!

The door didn't show up.

Sota san had it under control.

Daijin.

What are you trying to do?

Why don't you say anything?

The keystone...

Even if I'm not a Closer,

is it possible for me to be the keystone?

Suzume.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

I'm okay. Nothing happened.

Let's go.

We're halfway there, right?

I didn't know there was

such a beautiful place around here

Here...

It's so beautiful.

I'm sorry.

We need to hurry up.

Wait.

Kitten.

How to say it...

This family is so mysterious.

It's raining.

-Meow. -Really?

That's not good.

What?

Doesn't your car have a roof? Close it quickly!

What the hell?

It's really not fixed.

This is not the time to laugh.

What are we going to do right now?

Never mind. The next rest area is right there.

It's about 40 kilometers and 35 minutes from the station.

Not even close!

It's 15:30 now.

Let's eat.

Are you with a host?

No.

Looks like a poor host though.

But I don't think he's a fraud.

No, it's still too dangerous.

It's just you two girls,

and the car is a private room.

No. It's a convertible car.

That's even worse!

Tamaki san, where are you in Miyazaki?

It's that Tamaki san again.

Okay!

-Minoru just won't give up. -Just a moment, please.

Perfect!

There's an express bus to Tokyo

in the parking lot over there.

All the seats are available.

I can book tickets for you.

Hold a second, Minoru san.

We're already here,

so if I talk about going back now...

Sota san.

Sota san.

Suzume.

It was shaking just now, right?

These earthquakes are really annoying!

Are you sure you're okay with skipping meals?

Suzume.

I do still want you to be honest with me.

What?

Why do you want to go back to your hometown?

I want to close that Door...

I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain this.

What are you talking about?

You've caused so much trouble for others.

You say I'm causing trouble?

You wouldn't understand even if I explain it to you.

Aunt Tamaki, you don't understand.

Let's go back. There's a bus here.

You aren't able to explain what's going on,

and you look terrible now.

You're not eating anything. It really bothers me.

Let me go!

Suzume.

Aunt Tamaki, you're the one who should go back.

I didn't ask you to come here!

Don't you understand?

Do you know how worried I am about you?

Your love is too heavy for me.

I'm really tired.

I have been taking care of you for ten years

since the time I had to adopt you.

And I've been acting like an idiot.

At that time, I was always worried about you.

Because after all, you were a child who had just lost your mother.

And because of this,

I've never invited any man to my house.

And it's hard for me to find someone while I have to take care of you!

It's not worth it at all,

even with the money left behind by your mother.

Do you really think so?

But, I...

I didn't come to pick you up sooner.

It wasn't me who asked to live with you.

It was you who said,

"Let me take care of you from now on".

You said you would take care of me.

I don't remember that.

You...

can leave my house now!

Give me back my life!

Who are you?

Sadaijin.

Sadaijin?

Hey, Aunt Tamaki.

Wait. What happened?

Are you all right, Aunt Tamaki?

I...

I'm sorry.

I'm a little...

Serizawa san.

What's the matter?

There seems to be something wrong with me.

How could I say that?

Wait.

Wait.

Wait. Don't cry.

Are you okay?

It's just too mysterious.

No.

Not this one.

Is it this one?

It's nice to ride in this car

after the weather turns sunny, right?

The music is too loud.

This is my special selection for you.

Suzume.

You like this old song, right?

The atmosphere is so heavy here.

Right, new cat?

I didn't expect there would be another cat.

And that's a big cat.

The rainbow is a good sign.

You all ignore me.

Suzume.

Cats

don't usually follow people for no reason, do they?

They are not the same as dogs.

Maybe these two cats

want you to do something for them?

You're right.

We want this human

to help us change back to our original form.

That cat talks!

Slow down!

Stop. Hey.

Seriously?

It's fixed.

It was really dangerous just now.

But

that cat did talk, right?

It did talk, didn't it?

Is this a supernatural phenomenon?

No, that's ridiculous.

Excuse me.

Could you stop the car please?

Serizawa san!

We're still about ten kilometers away, right?

It's about 20 kilometers from there.

There's still 20 kilometers. That's pretty far.

You have deviated from the navigation route.

I know.

I'll run there.

Thank you for driving me here,

Serizawa san

and Aunt Tamaki.

I'll go with her, Serizawa.

Thank you so much for driving us here.

You're a very unexpected person.

You'd probably be a good teacher.

Wait a sec!

Hey.

What's going on with those two people?

Great,

Sota is a nice guy.

Aunt Tamaki?

We're good now, right?

Anyway,

you're going to meet the person you like, right?

We're not in a relationship.

Suzume.

Tell me about these two cats.

They are sort of gods.

Gods?

Well...

What I said in the parking lot

was true,

but it wasn't my only thought.

Yeah, that wasn't the only thing on my mind.

Me too.

I'm sorry, Aunt Tamaki.

Twelve years after I left my hometown,

I finally came back.

I'm back.

Mom.

I'm back.

Mom.

Suzume has grown up,

sister.

What exactly

does she want to do?

I got it.

I don't remember much about my childhood.

But,

I should have accidentally walked through that Door.

A major tsunami warning is now issued.

Residents near the coast,

please go to high ground to seek refuge.

We also observed the tsunami.

Do you know my mom?

-You are alone? -She seems to be working in the hospital.

Do you know my mom?

Still haven't found Tsubame san?

That kid also went looking for her today.

Do you know Suzume's mother?

She is only four years old.

She has probably been...

It's so brutal.

-Do you know my mom? -So poor.

She's lonely.

Sorry.

Do you know my mom?

Sorry.

Mom.

Where are you?

It wasn't a dream at the time.

I remembered

that I could see the moon that day.

The moon was hanging over that radio tower.

What?

Are you going to look for that door?

Wait, Suzume.

Debris from twenty years ago

should no longer be there, right?

Where is it?

Suzume.

Daijin.

Wait. What are you going to do?

Daijin.

Have you been

leading us to the place where the door opens

all the time?

Thank you.

Daijin.

Let's go, Suzume.

Suzume.

Aunt Tamaki.

I'm off to go.

Where are you going?

Go to the person I like.

Suzume.

The ground is burning.

That's...

the earthquake worm.

Is it going to come out of the door?

Sadaijin.

That's...

Sota san.

Daijin, you...

Are you all right, Suzume?

Where are we?

Is this the afterlife?

It's Sota san.

Sota san.

Sota san, Sota san.

Suzume.

If you pull out the stone,

earthquake worm will come out from it.

Then let me be the keystone.

Please.

Please open your eyes.

Sota san.

You...

Sota san, I'm here.

Please answer me, Sota san.

Sota san, let me hear your voice.

Sota san.

You...

Are there any ruins around here?

Ruins?

Aren't you afraid of death?

No, I'm not.

We're awesome, aren't we?

This must be very important.

Sota san should come, too.

Sota san is so popular.

Wait.

Is this...

Is this the end?

In a place like this.

Sota san's memory.

But,

-the fact that I met you... -Sota san.

Sota san.

I've already met you.

Sota san.

I don't want to disappear.

I still want to live.

I want to live.

Death is horrible.

I want to live.

Live.

Live.

Keep living.

I feel the same.

I want to live.

I want to hear voice.

It's horrible to be alone.

It's horrible to die.

Sota san.

Sota san.

Suzume san.

I...

Daijin.

What's wrong with you?

Are you okay?

Daijin...

I can't go to your house to live with you.

So use your hands

to help me regain my original form.

Daijin.

The second keystone.

Earthquake worm is going out of the Door.

Suzume san.

I'm fine.

What should we do?

Listen carefully.

Follow me.

Yearn day and night to call the God of Heaven.

Yearn day and night to call the God of Earth.

Be grateful for giving us heaven and earth.

We are in awe and trepidation.

At your will. I shalt return it to you!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Let's enjoy our meal.

Thanks for the food.

I'm leaving.

Be safe.

Come home early.

I'm leaving.

Be safe.

I'm leaving.

Take care on the roads.

Be safe, and take care on the roads.

I'm leaving.

Take care on the roads.

I'm leaving.

I deeply know that life is short,

and death is with us like the shadow.

But now, please give us one more year,

or a day,

or even one hour,

so we can move on with our lives.

The almighty God.

With all my heart.

Please help us.

It's OK.

Give me your body.

I shalt return it to thee.

Suzume san.

Suzume san.

Someone is there.

A little child.

That child.

I have to go over there.

Suzume san.

That's it.

So that's how it was.

I finally understand.

Suzume.

Suzume.

Mom.

Do you know Suzume's Mom?

Mom is looking for Suzume.

She must be very worried about me.

I must hurry back to my Mom.

Suzume, listen to me.

My mom is working in the hospital.

She is very good at cooking and crafting.

She can make anything I want.

Suzume.

My home.

I lost my home.

Mom.

She just doesn't know where I am.

Enough.

I already knew.

Why? Mom is still here.

I said Mom was looking for Suzume.

Suzume.

Mom, where are you?

Mom.

Mom.

What should I do?

Suzume, look.

Suzume, look.

It's your chair.

It's so strange.

What should I say?

Suzume, listen.

No matter how sad you are right now,

you'll grow up one day.

So don't worry.

Future is not horrible.

You'll like someone else in the future.

And you'll meet many people

who really like you.

You may think the world is dark now,

but the dawn will come.

You will grow up in the sun.

That's your future.

Because it is predestined.

Big sister.

Who are you?

I am...

Suzume's

tomorrow.

All this time, I've forgotten.

The most important thing,

I've got them all a long time ago.

I'm leaving.

Suzume.

Aunt Tamaki.

Serizawa.

But then again,

are you here to let him pay back your money?

Ask Sota san to pay back my money?

That's a lie.

Actually, the opposite is true.

Honestly speaking, I owe him money.

He seems to have forgotten this.

Please don't tell him.

What can I do with you?

We could have gone back together.

Human's kindness can calm the land.

There must be some places that have lost kindness,

so the door opened.

I'm closing the Door while going back to Tokyo.

Sota san...

Thank you for saving me.

I will come to visit you one day, I will.
