Tsugumi.

Tsugumi.

Wake up.

Why're you smiling?

I had a dream of when you were a teacher.

I was in a classroom, hoping you would be my teacher.

You were here.

Is it difficult to eat?

Since you lost a tooth.

- Will a new one come out? - Yes, an adult tooth.

What if it doesn't?

If you eat well everyday, it'll surely come out.

Here's your recorder.

I'm going!

I forgot where we're going tomorrow.

Izu.

Are we going to Izu without telling the school?

That's right.

See you later!

- Have a good day. - Have a good day.

Bye!

Shall we?

My glasses.

Found it.

I can't even remember the things I wrote down...

May 21st. The day after tomorrow.

May... 21st.

Amagi Credit Union,

Atagawa branch.

Checking account number,

1 0 3 3 -

7 4 1 9

The amount is 5,800,000 yen.

But can you...

I can come up with it.

I promise I'll pay you back someday.

Sure.

The payee is Mente Planning Co., Ltd.

Once you transfer the money, go get a copy of your family registry to the city hall right away.

And ensure that...

'Mother as Mochizuki Nao' with 'Daughter as Mochizuki Tsugumi' are correctly registered.

I will.

Don't worry.

Everything will turn out fine.

By the day after tomorrow,

you and Tsugumi will be registered as a family,

and be able to live normally.

All right.

I'm going out now.

Then, I'll take care of drying the bedding.

Mochizuki Hana Registration Certificate

I never considered the barbershop as mine.

I've merely maintained it for Sumire.

My wife gave the shop to you before she passed away.

It's all yours.

Please forgive me.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

I want it today.

Sure.

The money will be deposited into your account.

- Please stamp here. - Okay.

PF Finance

Um... the owner is out right now.

I came to see you.

International Medicine University Hospital

She always came alone.

Even when I had important matters to discuss, she'd still come alone.

She told me she didn't have any family.

I understand your relationship with Ms Mochizuki is complicated.

But I couldn't leave her alone.

She's my mother.

Is she... sick?

Cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells. She has acute myelocytic leukemia♪.

They aren't that hard to keep, you know.

You're right.

Mrs. Forgetful!

I'm back!

Welcome back, Tsugumi.

Two years ago, she received chemotherapy and survived the cancer.

However, she later refused the required consolidation therapy...

and stopped admitting herself to the hospital.

But... she looks fine.

Yes.

She does.

I've never seen anyone facing death to be as happy as she is.

She's especially focused on something recently and totally ignoring her health.

Why would she hide her illness from her own daughter?

This is the east entrance of Sapporo Station at 5 PM on April 1st.

Please confirm. Is this her?

She's Miss Suzuhara.

How about this girl?

She's my daughter.

She's Rena.

This is not for sale or stream.

Episode 9

Are we taking a bus or a train to Izu? Episode 9

Train. The Odoriko Express. Episode 9

Train. The Odoriko Express.

- Put your rice bowl down when you eat something else. - Okay.

Cup-steamed egg custard hotchpotch This chawanmushi♪ is so good.

- Your mom's good at cooking, huh. - Yup.

Is there anything I can help with?

You can go take a bath first.

Okay, I will.

Let's leave early tomorrow.

Why don't we take her to the beach?

Or should we not enjoy the trip...?

It's all right.

You're coughing.

It might be a cold.

You should... go see a doctor.

It's nothing serious.

I'm sorry.

I'll be careful not to give it to Tsugumi.

Temporarily closed.

Watch your step.

What're you doing?

Tsugumi.

- Did you pack your snacks? - Yup, I did.

All right then, let's go.

- Let's go. - Yup.

- Will the new tooth come out? - It will, if you eat a lot.

- Really? - Yeah, really.

Keigo.

Sorry to suddenly...

I've been busy, so...

There's something I want to tell you.

- I understand how you feel, but... - This baby...

is not yours.

I'm sorry.

I lied to you.

Why did you say something like that?!

Because this baby's mine.

Nobody else's but mine.

I feel better now.

Life sure is complicated.

Maybe you can be the baby's father.

What?

- That's fine. - What?!

Is pasta okay?

Why don't we tell Nao to come back?

I'll have this baby no matter what.

I don't care if it's sick.

- But what if she gets arrested... - It doesn't matter.

Mothers shouldn't worry about how others think,

but worry about their children's happiness.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

The pasta will be done in no time.

Amagi Credit Union

That's the one. Amagi Credit Union

That's the one.

Damn it.

- Looks like she's not home. - Yeah.

- What's next? - Her foster mother's house.

Suzuhara Toko -What's next? -Her foster mother's house.

-Let's go. -Okay. Suzuhara Toko

- Let's go. - Okay.

You must be tired.

We should take a break.

Wow.

Tsugumi.

- Would you like to go to the beach? - I'd love to!

Okay?

Sure.

Let's go, Mom.

Run!

Come on!

Over here, Mrs. Forgetful!

Mrs. Forgetful!

Connected!

Like this...

You made a good one.

Thank you.

This is a house.

Our new house here in Izu!

Over here is the yard and where we park our bicycles...

This is the kitchen.

This is where we watch TV.

This is the bathroom.

This is where you and I will sleep.

Very nice.

Then, let's eat ice cream here.

Mom, that's a bathroom.

How about this room?

That's...

Mrs. Forgetful's room!

Will it be gone when the wave comes?

Should I eat some rice with a raw egg...

You're still able to eat more?

A lot more actually.

- Come over here for a second. - What is it?

Forgot something?

- How about fried rice? - I'm not sure if I can eat that much...

Mom.

Want some too?

The police sre here.

I haven't seen her for a long time.

She became distant ever since she moved to Hokkaido.

- Not even a phone call? - No.

My daughter sent her a wedding invitation,

but she returned us an absence notice.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Thank you for your time earlier.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Tsugumi.

Do you like it here?

Yup, I do.

- Do you wanna live here? - Yeah, I do.

Even if you'll not be able to see your friends at school again?

I'll make new friends.

You'll live with us too, right?

I can?

You're my grandma.

Grandma, Mom and Tsugumi, we'll live together.

We'll open Sumire Barbershop together.

Mom will be washing hair,

you'll be cutting hair,

and I'll be drying hair, and also...

give out snacks.

No giving out snacks?

Sounds good.

You don't wanna wash hair?

I will wash hair.

It'll be a family shop.

Birdy!

I'm here!

I'm over here!

Birdy, I'm here!

I'm over here!

Birdy, I'm here!

I'm over here!

Birdy!

I'm here! I'm over here!

I'm sorry, they only asked about our situation, so I might be overreacting...

No, I think the police is convinced that this is a kidnapping case.

I'm coming in.

The bathtub here is huge enough to swim in.

You are not supposed to swim in the bathtub.

Tsugumi, your towel.

- Go ahead without me. - Okay.

- Let's go, Mrs. Forgetful. - Okay.

Fujiyoshi Shunsuke

Hello?

Hello.

I'm at Suzuhara's.

The Muroran police came to ask questions.

They're looking for you as an important witness.

I think Hitomi has reported you.

If they find you, you'll be asked to return with them for questioning.

Once they confirm the girl is Michiki Rena, you'll be arrested for kidnapping a minor.

Where are you right now?

Hello?

Are you there?

How is my mother doing?

- How about my sisters? - Hold on.

Nao.

I'm sorry.

I'm proud of you.

Ever since I kicked you out,

I've been regretting it.

I should have told you this first.

You did the right thing saving Tsugumi.

Mom...

No matter what people say, I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you as my daughter.

Nao.

Kaho.

We'll be fine.

Worry only about Tsugumi.

Don't return her to the mother.

Don't give up.

Nao?

Mei.

I can't wait for my baby and Tsugumi to play together.

Since Tsugumi is older, she'll help take care of the baby, right?

Please. I'll be counting on her.

We'll be able to see each other soon.

Soon, I hope.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Me too.

Hello?

Do you have any intention to turn yourself in?

No.

You might be arrested in front of her eyes.

She'll be returned to Muroran.

It depends on how the police look at the abuse.

At worst, she'll be returned to the mother. At best, she'll be sent to a foster home.

I'll never let her go.

Okay.

Listen.

For cases of kidnapping minors,

unless the parent files a compliant, you won't be pursued.

I'll be heading to Muroran to persuade Hitomi.

- Why do you help me? - I'm not sure myself.

Now listen.

Do not get caught yet, give me at least one day.

If she ever gets arrested,

can we adopt Tsugumi?

It won't be approved since you're related to the kidnapper.

Their journey will end the moment she gets arrested.

They'll never be able to live together again.

I'll get going.

I'll call you if there's any progress.

Mei.

Kaho.

I have decided.

Even if Nao gets arrested,

I will not dissolute her adoption.

All right?

The Muroran police came to Ms Suzuhara's house?

Shouldn't we run to somewhere else?

I'll go to the credit union first thing in the morning tomorrow.

We have to obtain the family registry before we run.

I understand.

Tsugumi...

Opening a barbershop here, huh.

Yeah.

We should go to bed.

I'm not sure if I can sleep.

I know you're worried, but...

Not just about that.

Yesterday,

I spoke to your doctor.

She told me...

She told me about your...

She's just overreacting.

It's nothing serious.

- I'm fine... - Don't lie.

You're trying to deceive me again...

You're trying it again...

To me...

Then, be deceived again.

I'm fine.

No.

Since our reunion,

I've said many mean things to you...

You're very sick yet I'm making you worried...

and even bringing you here...

I didn't forgive you,

but why are you still helping me?

You know why.

Making up for your sin?

No.

Because I'm happy right now.

Happiness is...

to be able to love somebody.

Being able to have somebody who is more important than your own life.

There's nothing happier than that.

The house she made at the beach...

It was very nice.

Yes.

The girl in the picture too? Okay.

Search for them with Yoshii.

Miss Michiki!

We've located Suzuhara Nao and Rena.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

How nice, playing with your mom?

Yup!

You look exactly like your mom!

I'll take my leave.

- Are we becoming alike? - Are we becoming alike?

Eyes?

Nose?

Mouth?

Hands?

- We can't help it. - We can't help it.

All right, I'll go run some errands.

Okay.

Tsubaki Bank

Please stay here.

- I'll call you. - Okay.

Mom, see you later!

See you later.

Will you reconsider submitting the compliant to the police?

Why did you file a report when you've already abandoned your daughter?

Because I hate that woman.

- You don't want your daughter back, right? Then... - Too bad.

I just submitted the compliant.

- Hello. - Hello.

Let's hurry.

Atagawa Branch Amagi Credit Union

Due to ATM maintenance, we'll open at 9:30AM today. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello?

Will you put me through to Tsubaki Room?

Two detectives from the Muroran Police have arrived earlier. Will you put me through to Tsubaki Room?

Two detectives from the Muroran Police have arrived earlier.

Hello?

Mom!

Tsugumi, will you put Mrs. Forgetful on?

Listen Mom, earlier...

Sorry, but I'm in a hurry. Just put her on.

Okay...

Mrs. Forgetful, it's Mom.

Hello?

Is everything all right?

Yes, don't worry.

It'll still take some time until the credit union opens.

I'll try the bank nearby.

Okay.

- Then... - Wait.

Tsugumi wants to talk to you.

Hello? Mom, you know...

Sorry, we'll talk later.

Mom...

Was Mom angry?

No, she wasn't.

Let's tell her when she comes back.

Shall we do some origami until then?

Yup!

I haven't seen her.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Have you seen these two recently?

No, I haven't.

Their looks might have changed a little, so you may also want to consider that.

Nah.

I see.

Mom.

Tsugumi...

Mrs. Forgetful, look.

It's raining even though it's sunny out.

It's a sun shower.

Foxes are getting married.

- Fox? - Yes.

Look,

when it rains even though the sun is out,

they say foxes are getting married.

Really...

Oh, thank you.

Excuse me, but...

Welcome back! Please excuse me.

Grandma, Mom and Tsugumi, we'll live together.

Tsugumi...

Tsugumi!

Mom?

What's wrong?

Didn't you hear Mom's voice?

I wonder if she's back.

I'll go take a look.

I see.

- How many people? - Three of them.

Three, huh.

Three?

Nao!

Nao!

- Nao! - Ma'am...

Mom...

Did they feel like this?

They've gotten...

a little smaller.

Because you've grown bigger.

Mom.

Please go to the hospital.

And...

take the tests.

Okay.

I will.

I will, Nao...

Mochizuki Hana, we have some questions for you.

Wait...

- Let her see Tsugumi. - Tsugumi?

- Get her in! - Wait!

- Let her say goodbye! - Get in.

- No, wait... - Mom!

Tsugumi!

Are you Michiki Rena?

Mom!

She wants to talk to her. Please!

Let her talk!

Tsugumi.

Where are you going?

I wanna go too.

Where are you going!

Take me with you!

Mom!

Why won't you tell me?

Tsugumi.

On the phone earlier...

What were you trying to tell me?

My tooth...

My new tooth came out.

My adult tooth...

came out, you know.

Really.

It did.

Good for you.

Tsugumi.

Mom.

Don't forget...

the warmth of my hands.

I will...

keep holding your hands.

I will...

keep holding onto your hands.

The car is gonna move.

It's dangerous. Stay back.

Stay back.

Mom.

Tsugumi.

Mom!

Tsugumi!
