Mori-sensei is on maternity leave...

so from today on I will be in charge of this class.

My name is Asakura.

Isn't our new sensei lovely?

He has this adult charm.

Piami, didn't you like Ren-kun?

That's different. Can you only love one person?

Is this world that suffocating?

But he's wearing a ring. That means he's married, right?

You're so sharp.

Hurry up! I'll leave you behind!

I'm still pooping.

We're totally late.

I'm still pooping.

Hey!

You just don't want to go to kindergarten, right?

You there!

I'm sorry.

Huh? - He's our new homeroom teacher.

I see.

Are you late? Well then, could you please introduce yourself?

Yes. - What is your name?

My name?

Lately there's a lot of names that can easily be misread.

It's rude to your parents if I mistake.

I'd be grateful if you'd tell me your name first.

My name is...

What's wrong?

She feels awkward saying it. She's such a weird one.

Even though it's cute.

I think it fits you too.

My name is...

Episode 7: Will you be my mother?

So you were late this morning because of Nippachi after all.

Was he scared of his new school?

He said he's never been to kindergarten before.

I see, he must have been scared.

Huh?

How cool. - Wow.

Well, scared...

He seems to be perfectly fine.

My teacher is so pretty. I want to kiss her.

I want to kiss her! I want to kiss her!

I want to kiss her... - Are you still saying that?

I want to kiss her...

What an amazing car.

They really came.

Jolipi. - Jolipi?!

Why are you looking in the mirror?

Bombi said that Jolipi came.

I'm free to compete, right?

Don't you think so, Donki?

That might be so, but...

No 'but', let's go!

Why me? - Because I will look better then.

How many times do I have to tell you? - Wait!

Don't copy her desire for getting happy, Bombi.

What's wrong? Don't be worried.

Piami just wants to get picked, of course she'd give up on Jolipi.

But it's true that things you wish for will come true someday.

Let's go. I'll help you out.

How should I look?

Hey!

Please come in.

Nice to meet you.

They said they wanted a boy.

Jolipi said that they wanted a boy where they could play soccer with and who could succeed them.

I see.

They don't want a Cinderella...

but a Cinderella boy...

I don't know how I can cheer you up...

Stop it, Bombi! Don't rush it!

So they didn't invite me.

I don't get it. In this world where men and women have equal employment rights...

Huh? This not about a job, huh?

These are twin brothers.

Nice to meet you!

Twins, huh?

Separating them would be a bit...

It's no problem!

Aren't you too cruel?

Hey! - Thank you...

She's even prettier than the teacher. I want to kiss her!

I want to kiss her!

Did you fart again? Gross!

Gross! Go away!

More.

Hair is a woman's... - More!

It appears that there was no child to your liking?

No, that's not it.

We have only just given up on getting our own child.

That's why we're thinking about the loneliness of children without parents.

In short...

you won't be able to cheer up unless you find the right child.

I will promise to support your home. We will do the formalities later.

I'm grateful for that. - No need. Well then...

Mister, can you play soccer?

Director, who is this?

Hello! - Hello.

Do you like soccer? - Yes!

How old are you? - I'm nine years old!

Did you notice? That's mine.

Huh? Sensei?

You are... - No need...

No need to say my name.

Your brother?

He's Locker, a staff member from the home.

He's our new homeroom teacher, Asakura-sensei.

Locker?

Are you shopping groceries, sensei?

My wife is a little bit...

I'm in charge of the chores right now.

Is your wife in charge of the kids?

Men have it hard lately. They have to do both chores and work.

We have no kids.

So your wife is a career woman with high salary?

No... My wife is suffering of bad health right now.

So we haven't unpacked yet and the boxes are getting more and more.

Shall we go and help you out?

I can't ask that of you.

I'm not asking for money.

Right...

But my wife might feel better with kids around.

We're free anyway, so you can always ask us.

Thank you.

Locker, you can talk again, so you could've at least said 'nice to meet you'.

Jeez...

Crap.

I'm back.

You're up, do you feel alright?

I had a dream...

A dream?

She came back to us.

Yes?

What's wrong? What brought you here?

What did you want to talk about?

About your husband.

We know.

What do you mean?

The director of Kogamo no Ie...

she said that he might be your husband...

Is that what you knew?

I don't know why you'd make that mistake...

I'm not mistaking.

He was a police officer.

Police officer?

He was an elite at the NPA.

Right now he should've been climbing the ladder...

I told you.

Maou would've been the one to get caught by the police, right?

It's time for me to go. I'm sorry.

Car!

Haven't you noticed?

A car that has been parked near the bento-shop often?

Go, go...

Do your best!

Yes!

Here. - Thank you.

Is he your son, Toujou-san?

No, he is... - Wanna give it a try?

Yes! - Let's do this!

Kick it here.

You're good.

Alright! Stop it!

Shoot this time!

Here!

Goal!

I did it!

Mister, Miss, thanks for today.

The pleasure is all ours. It was a lot of fun.

It's an electronic dictionary.

She said it's an electronic dictionary.

I guess that Maria want to talk more to you too.

I... Me too!

I'm sorry, could you please call out Bambi-chan?

Bambi?

Ah! Bombi?

Thanks to her we got to meet you.

I'd really like to thank her.

Well, that...

I'll go get her ASAP!

You want to be a girl again?

Just for a moment! Where's my glasses?

Come on! Hurry up!

What about your head?

Hat! Hat!

Wear this! You're a girl so you need to be pretty!

What's going on?

Thank you for waiting.

What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?

I... Don't worry about me.

Is there something?

I wanted to thank you.

I'd like to give this hat to you.

This is...

There's something I forgot to say...

so could you go get him again?

What's going on?!

What's going on?!

It's troublesome already...

Well, there's no way back now.

She should just be a girl.

I mean, boys can only do tough work and they're mentally weak and there's nothing good about them.

Except for Ren-kyun. - You know...

Won't she just be disappointed in the end?

Someday she will be exposed.

Bombi knows that.

But she wants to be near Jolipi for as long as possible.

For a limited time? That's kind of sad.

Bonjour.

Bon soir.

Bon nuit.

Au revoir.

A demain.

Je t'aime.

Our daughter is no longer here.

She's dead.

She's dead.

Hey!

I'm out of shampoo.

Go buy some.

The one that smells like mama.

It's a problem if you just do these things on your own accord.

What are you talking about?

About Toujou-san.

When you introduce prospect parents, then please do so through me.

It's her personal acquaintance.

I'm just saying that it'll be a problem if they can't cope with the situation when something happens.

Who told you?

That doesn't matter.

Well, I've got an idea.

There's someone who didn't say crucial things during his incident in spite of seeing it.

It's that one, right?

Making excuses is suspicious!

He hit that man because he wanted to protect a pregnant woman.

Why didn't she tell anyone?

She might not have remembered because of a shock.

Do you really think so?

So you think she did it on purpose?

Not on purpose, she's just going for it.

Do you understand the difference?

A lack of self-respect...

Within children that aren't loved by their parents...

there are also those who have a hard time thinking about themselves as precious.

It's a seesaw.

They're trying to up their own value by thinking bad about others.

But having fallen that far is something that the person self doesn't realize.

The world is overflowing with rotten adults like that.

Has she been like that ever since she came to Kogamo no Ie?

I don't know.

She needs counseling from a specialist.

It's the darkness...

of the heart.

Thank you.

You...

What is this? It's not cleaned up at all.

I'm sorry.

Like I said before, my wife is in bad health...

I also have to work, so I don't have the time to do this too.

It's embarrassing.

What kind of sickness does your wife have?

Interaction with others.

There were a lot of loud people in our previous building.

I know. Those who are really loud and don't see their own shortcomings.

But we moved and since the environment has changed...

she's felling a lot better.

And today you guys dropped by.

Please leave it to us. We'll cheer her up!

Where is your wife?

She was here just now. Maybe she went out for a walk.

She'll be back soon.

How about getting pizza?

I thought there were some cups in here.

Huh?

Instead of waiting for tea, it'll be faster if we'd help out.

But...

We do this at the home too.

Do you? - Yes, I do!

I do!

Well then, please...

Yes!

Ai?

Thanks for waiting.

There were no decent things in the fridge.

Even though you guys specially came here. I'm sorry.

No problem.

That's right! I should make a salad.

Sit down.

Ai, won't you help me out?

Ai.

Please take care of the juice and the cups.

Yes.

What's wrong? Where's your manners?

Mama was surprised when you took a friend home.

So you already made friends at your new school.

I will...

What's wrong?

Just sit down.

You guys really helped me out.

Thank you. - No problem.

You've been up for quite some time already, Hitomi. You must be tired.

How about taking some medicine and rest?

I'm fine.

Please don't overdo things.

Wait here. I have to talk to Kawashima-san.

Yes.

Um!

What do you need to talk about?

Just some business.

Have you noticed something strange about her lately?

No, she's just as cheerful as usual.

Is there something wrong with her?

Actually, we're thinking of sending her to a psychologist.

We would like to observe her for the time being.

It won't cause any trouble to you.

Is this about her real parents?

That's what we want a specialist to find out.

I see...

So it's like that...

Can't we just spend time with her like now?

Misuzu...

I want to spend time with her.

But Kawashima-san...

I have a problem with my womb.

I can't give birth to my own child.

I also had a time when I was really upset.

That time my husband told me...

How about adopting a child?

Just like we didn't want a child, there might be parents who don't want a child.

I've been worried about that.

I've talked it over and over with my husband.

After that we told each other that there would be no way back.

If we have even the smallest feeling of regret towards the child then we should stop.

By checking that over and over, we have come to this point.

That's right...

Then we encountered a charming girl.

A charming girl with a cute smile.

I don't want to let her go.

It'll be hard for us if we wouldn't be able to meet her.

If she still has a scar left in her heart...

than we will heal it.

I will have more bandage than I will be able to hold with both hands.

Mizusawa-san?

I'm sorry. It's nothing.

Did we perhaps say something too self-important?

That's not is.

I too...

wish that I would have encountered someone like you.

When I was a young child like her.

You've gotten better, huh?

Here.

Yo.

I'm sorry, Maria has gone out. Please.

Thank you!

Delicious!

You also called your friends, huh?

I...

She said oira. - She's still acting.

Here you go.

We're all sweaty. Let's take a bath together later.

Really? Do you have a jacuzzi? - Yes...

Yay! Awesome! - Let's get undressed!

Don't do that here.

You should get undressed too. Well, that's impossible for you anyway.

You've got a flat chest so you won't see it if you only lose your top anyway.

I...

What's wrong?

Are you alright?

You guys! I don't know what's going on...

but if you're bullying him, then you should just leave.

We're not.

Aren't they? - I'm sorry.

Huh? - I'm sorry!

Hey! Wait!

I'm sorry.

Sensei's daughter passed away at a railroad crossing.

Railroad crossing?

Why did she call you Ai?

Did I look like the girl in the picture?

Not really.

His wife was sleeping in the children's room.

She must have been thinking about her.

Maybe she wanted to remember her daughter.

That must be it.

Sensei.

Even before you guys visited...

she was confused and said that our daughter came home.

That day...

my daughter went to get the shoe of a friend and got under the train.

She died immediately.

It was a shock.

Especially for my wife...

But it's understandable.

Maybe it's the connection between a mother and a child.

A mother and child who get along really well will always be the same.

Looking at them was my happiness.

We moved to forget the hardship...

But trying to forget her is scary.

We made her room just like it was...

Unintentionally, it gave the sense...

I'm sorry.

A teacher shouldn't cry in front of his students.

I don't know why she thinks that you're our daughter.

Even though she knows that she has passed away...

she might not have accepted it in her heart.

But...

I'm grateful to you.

It's been a while.

Since I've seen her smile like that.

That happily...

We don't mind dropping by once in a while, right?

We should take Bombi and Donki along too.

Nippachi too. - I'm not so sure about that.

The Kawashima couple said that they'd like to look at the situation for a bit more.

Is that alright with you?

We will stay in contact.

And...

I've got a personal announcement to make.

What?

I have decided to get married.

Did you find your own place to be?

I have also decided to quit this job.

What did you say?

How about the other kids?

What about the foster parents?

The public office will take care of it.

That's not good!

Then the kids won't be able to pick their own parents!

You said so, right?

Kids should be able to find their own place.

I wish that I was adopted by nice parents when I was young.

You said so when we first met, right?

That's why I...

I'm asking you what will happen to the other kids!

Look at this place! There's a lot more kids!

I will do my best in my own way.

Cut the crap!

If it's just being kind in your spare time, then there are a thousand other who can do so!

They won't always be by their side.

That's why sometimes to let go, you absolutely need a strong heart to send them off.

So you're like that too after all?

You only think about yourself.

You're a hypocrite!

That's strange...

Just now...

at the Kawashima's place, I...

I...

get called this by this kids, right?

Ice Doll.

For an ice doll to have these tears...

Hello?

She did?

Where is Bombi?

She hasn't gotten home yet.

For her to be late for dinner...

That's unusual, huh?

She might be so embarrassed that she won't come back.

Because he found out that she doesn't have a wee-wee.

What are you talking about?

We exposed her lie.

What did you guys do?

We told you, we were playing futsal...

and we were sweaty so we were going to get a bath.

But she can't get undressed, so...

Do you guys know with what feeling Bombi is pretending to be a boy?

We don't. - That's right.

It's her own fault for trying to outwit us.

Idiots!

Stop it, Post! You can't start a fight!

Let go! Let go! - Post! Post!

Let me go!

So you were here after all?

Thanks.

Did you hear?

Han and Ryuu told us.

I wanted to kick their asses...

but Otsubone stopped me.

It's not their fault.

It's my own fault for lying.

You always say so.

It's my own fault.

Well, it is.

That might be so.

But isn't it fine to blame others once in a while?

Take advantage of the situation.

You don't do so either right, Post?

You don't blame stuff on others either right, Post?

I'm just a demon without love.

I'm not a good girl like you, Bombi.

I wonder...

I am.

Um, Post, I...

panicked when my lie got exposed.

I've been absentminded ever since and I haven't cried yet.

I see...

I'm sorry, but...

can I cry for a bit?

Of course you can.

This is the last time I will say it.

Will you join me?

Alright! Let's let the world hear.

One, two...

Jolipi!

Where are you going?

We're gonna find Bombi.

Stop the act.

Stop pretending to be friends.

You were the one who tattled on her to the Toujou's.

I...

Why? Why would you do such a thing?

You're in the same room. You should know how she feels.

It would've been exposed anyway.

Donki...

Bombi lied and her lie would get bigger and bigger everyday.

It'll be hard on herself.

She thinks that the Toujou's are Jolipi...

The shock that she'll receive will get bigger over time.

Thinking about it like that, what Bombi is doing is just selfish.

It's a lie.

You're lying.

You don't like it if people around you find happiness.

You're jealous.

You feel at ease when you look at kids who are unluckier than you are.

No... I'm not lying...

Then why?

The Kawashima's love you.

It's going well. Then why did you do it?

I'm not lying!

Donki?

Ouch...

Are you alright?

Donki!

What happened to you?

You're hurt.

What's wrong? What happened?

Bombi!

She was in her usual pipe.

I'm so glad.

No... Donki has disappeared this time!

Did you find her?

What happened?

Let's go to the police.

Kaori-san...

Why are you here?

I'm asking you how you know about this place.

I'm the one who befriended her first.

Kaori-san helped me out.

Then Donki noticed that she was the woman from the bento-shop.

Why did you quit the police?

I thought your job was your life.

I realized that you were more important than that.

That...

I realized it a long time ago.

That's right...

You picked me over the child in my tummy.

What do you...

When i was pregnant with his child, the doctor said that my body wouldn't stand it.

I told him...

I can't give up on the baby, if you have to make a decision, then please save our child.

Two days later...

I lost my consciousness because of a loss of blood.

When I opened my eyes...

the baby was nowhere to be seen.

Stop it!

Don't tell that here.

That's right. It's strange.

I have never been able to tell someone this before.

The children here made me able to do so.

Because of that I finally feel at ease a bit.

Did you start this home to make up for it?

108...

For the amount of my earthly desires, I want to give children a new home.

That is my atonement.

Earthly desires?

That time, I would show myself to you once again.

Self-satisfaction.

By doing that, our child won't come back.

But other...

Please wait.

This is not something that results of self-satisfaction.

In the beginning every form is fine.

By sending that many children to new families...

you make your own place.

There is no other person who would do that.

Then why would someone who thinks of children like that hurt this child?

Wounding the face of a girl like this.

I'm not lying.

What does she mean?

I don't think you're capable to take care of children.

It won't change a thing.

Nothing.

Please wait!

Be careful. - Yes.

Let me go! You're lying!

Let me go! - I'm not lying! Listen to me!

The girl who came the other day is a girl from my class.

She's not Ai. Ai won't come back!

What are you saying? She's just at cram school.

She'll be back soon. Why are you saying that?!

Please look!

That's Ai's portrait over there.

You were the one who said that that portrait reflected her the best.

She's gone?

That's right.

Ai is gone?

I can't see her no more?

She can't call me mama anymore?

Hitomi, it might be hard for you right now. You have to move on.

I will be there for you.

I will be there for you forever.

Hitomi...

I have to go.

She must be lonely.

I can hear her voice. She's calling for me.

I have to hurry...

or else we will lose sight of her, right?

Stop it!

Ai...

You're home.

Welcome home, Ai.

I'm home, mama.
