I did it! - I give up!

I've lost 10 times already. You guys are acting way too good.

Which one should I take?

Isn't that suspicious?

This one?

Or this one?

I pick this one.

I did it! Mama wins!

I lost. - You lost, Ai.

I'm sorry about everything.

I'm enjoying it too.

I'm glad that you think so.

When you gave birth to me...

didn't it hurt?

Or did it hurt?

It was an easy delivery.

You already thought about mama back then.

But you cried out loud.

So loud that everyone in the hospital could hear.

Crawling, standing, laughing.

We were full of joy every time and took a lot of pictures.

I cried the first time you called me papa.

You did.

You even cried when she entered kindergarten.

Did you notice?

Then I turned 9 years old.

You're still spoiled and get to sleep together like this.

Am I a bother to you?

What are you saying? Of course not.

There's no way you would.

You! Where have you been wandering around?

Nowhere special.

My...

mama...

Episode 8: When a young girl sets off on a journey... The reason of the children's tears.

Here's your daily special bento.

It seems that you didn't come here just to buy a bento.

We wanted to clear the misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding? - About the wound on Donki's cheek.

Donki?

Maou didn't do it. She got it when she fell down the stairs.

So she lied?

Not really lying, she might have exaggerated it because she was angry.

Did he tell you to come here? To cover up what he did?

He would never do that.

There's no person who is that particular about finding a new place for children.

I didn't like it when you said it was all self-satisfaction.

They do it because they are Maou and Ice Doll.

They might be a bit weird.

He is weird one after all.

He's is weird enough to think about the children.

It's a big one, huh? - It is! So warm!

It is, isn't it? - Wow.

It's a couple with a farm.

They said they would like to accept twin boys.

It's a reliable household who have accepted a foster child before.

I'm sorry about what I said the other day.

It was too much.

No.

Let me say it anew.

Congratulations.

May I ask you one thing?

What?

Why did you begin Kogamo no Ie?

This was the first time I heard that you were a cop.

Your job was your life, right?

Why would you do that?

Because it felt empty-hearted.

Deceiving people, hurting them or even killing them...

How about trying to get a grip?

Every brutal criminal has the same thing in common.

That is?

A face won't come to mind, that of their loved one.

Apart from acts of impulse...

Normal people stop when they think about the faces of their loved ones.

They give up because they don't want to disappoint and hurt those people.

You want to give the kids a face like that?

Real parents, foster parents or even a teacher.

The face of a loved one.

A face that they can't betray.

Well, the occasion was a different one.

Regret...

About the baby you and your wife lost.

Won't you see him again?

I'd like you to talk to him once more.

You should say something too.

Thank you.

I'm back!

Yes! I'm in time for dinner!

You had practice today again? - Yes.

Sensei's lessons are so strict. I'm exhausted.

The Teana national competition is coming up, huh?

I'm definitely going to take the first place. I'm not gonna let this chance get away.

What will you do after you win?

Challenge all sorts of competitions...

win a lot of prizes...

and be acknowledged as a genius girl! - And then?

Go for a brilliant pro-debut as a beautiful pianist with my piano skills and beauty.

And together with Ren-kyun who also had a splendid growth...

Ouch!

Your story hurts.

My stomach hurts...

Ouch! - Are you alright? Call an ambulance!

Ouch...

It hurts... - Locker...

Please take care of her.

How was Donki?

My stomach was just a bit upset.

I see.

I'm glad.

Locker, you can put me down now.

I'm heavy, right? I can walk by myself.

It might be your nerves.

You've been acting weird lately. It might have something to do with that.

The wound on your face that time wasn't done by Maou.

And yet you went to Maou's wife...

I don't really know what you're talking about, but can't we do this another time?

You also had Han and Ryuu tattle on Bombi to Jolipi.

The same goes for Locker...

Why didn't you say that he hit that guy because he was protecting a pregnant woman?

Then Piami wouldn't have been like that...

That...

It's fine, Post.

That's right. It happened and now it's alright. - I'm not trying to blame her.

I just want to know.

Why would you do that?

Donki.

We're friends, right?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Bombi.

I'm sorry, Locker.

I've been feeling strange ever since I went to the Kawashima's.

I don't know why.

But it's painful... and I don't know what to do.

I'm becoming more and more of a bad girl.

Did something bad happen?

No, not at all.

Don't think bad of those two.

You started to like them.

You started to like the two of them.

That's why you must be very anxious.

That they will say that they don't need you, like your mom did.

You're scared...

Is that so? - Donki...

When Nippachi opens the zipper on his back, there must be an old man coming out.

He's cute though.

Little by little, a gap appears and if that gets bigger, then that would be physiologically impossible

I feel bad for him when you say that.

Well then, wanna kiss?

No, that's a bit...

Nippachi, welcome back.

Mama!

Mama?

I have missed you. - I missed you too.

I won't gamble again.

Really?

Give me a kiss...

Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. - Stop.

Stop. Stop.

I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna let you go again.

I'm glad for Nippachi.

That his real mom came to get him.

As long as he won't be back.

But it's kind of sad that he's gone, right?

Not at all.

We all cried when the first Pachi left.

I've got some place to go to.

Tell Locker that I won't need dinner.

A place to go to? - It's probably sensei's place.

Sensei? You mean Asakura-sensei?

Sensei's daughter died in a railroad accident.

Really?

She was the same age as we are.

I see...

By the way, his wife...

seems to think that Post is their real daughter.

Deep inside, she probably hasn't accepted that her daughter died.

I kind of understand... - Bombi...

No, I'm fine already.

Post must be pretending to be her daughter to cheer her up.

But is that the right thing to do?

Welcome back, Ai.

I'm back, mama.

I'll be home in no time if I run along the track, so I can go by myself.

What are you saying?

I can't let my student go alone by herself at this time.

I see.

Or as my daughter.

You're an overprotective dad.

But isn't it strange?

Why is Hitomi so convinced that you are Ai?

Maybe she doesn't know her face? - Her face?

I don't know the face of my mother.

It's strange for me too.

This is the first time for me too that I've honestly called someone mama.

When I go for a "test-drive", then I can't really say it from my heart.

Are you really fine with it? - With what?

What, you say?

If I'm here mama won't die. Isn't that right?

But... - No one will be unhappy.

How about you?

You knew so too, right?

What are you talking about?

I have got no intention of stopping my donations.

Because she did it by herself.

The public office wouldn't have overlooked it anyway.

I'm asking why you're letting kids lie.

I'd like to know the truth too.

I wanted a boy.

She lied and came to my house.

An adult like you should know how it would end up.

Jolipi.

There's something I want to show you.

This is a poster that she made.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt...

They adopt children without parents.

Speaking of which, she called me and my wife...

I'm sorry.

I realized that you look alike.

Kids have fantasies like these...

Fantasy?

It's a dream.

Being accepted by Jolipi.

That's her way of saying it.

It might be foolish...

she has been denying other foster parents by saying that.

There's no need if it's not Jolipi.

Then I'll just wait for my own mama and papa to come and get me.

That's what she says.

There's no way that they can come and get her.

Is it a complicated situation?

No, it's simple.

Her parents have passed away.

No way...

So she put this here. Everyday she would shake her hips, her head and shout.

Dreaming...

Does it have to be your own child?

Even so everyone wants to be happy... Everyone...

In what way?

She shakes her hips and head?

Like this?

Jolipi!

Jo...

You decided to stop that, didn't you?

Crazy girl. Hair is a girl's life...

There might be another chance...

I wonder.

Did you dry your hands?

No, I forgot my handkerchief.

Thank you.

Ren-kun. - So you all came?

To cheer for Piami.

Please cheer for me to. - Well, a little bit.

She will win.

Right? Miss Midori?

It's a bit rude to you to say this though.

But you won the other time, right?

Because I gave her lower points...

he won by a small margin. - Really?

I didn't want to make her into a bragger.

If you don't give it your all, then a genius will slip away.

A genius?

I don't know how much she will grow.

I'm saying this again, if it was about our faces, then I would win easily.

What?

How about an autograph?

Before it's too late, you know?

Post, I'm sorry. Could you go and look for my dad again today?

He might be here for the main contest...

What? Do you want an autograph too?

I think he will come.

He was there too during the preliminary contest. Your father.

Really? Piami's papa did?

That's why I think he'll be here again today.

Why haven't you told me?

Because he said that he didn't want to be a bother to you...

he didn't want to crush your dream.

If you'd be with him than you'd have a hard time to lead a good life.

He'll be here today.

But when you finish your performance...

This is not good, Post! It's just before the competition!

It must have been hard on you, Post.

I thought about not telling her.

But...

Then you heard that she was a genius, right?

The former young lady won't lose.

I decided to leave this town.

Leave?

It's painful to be near her.

I'll go to a place where I can't see her.

I see.

What is your address? I'll send you some pictures.

No...

I'll burn her into my mind today.

So it's a final farewell?

This one's mine.

I thought that it'd be time to think about what to do after I leave here.

If I go to nursing school, I can get a degree and study about my eye. That's two birds with one stone.

I should be able to pay it with by taking a student loan.

And here, look.

They also have dorms.

I wonder how I will live after I leave here.

Will I go on group dates and can I get a boyfriend?

I never got adopted but it's fine as long as I can get married to someone in the end.

But first I'll have to live strong by myself.

Hey, can I come around once in a while?

I'm kidding.

I'm this old already, Maou will yell at me if I get homesick.

But...

I might want to be here after all...

I want to be here...

Ouch.

It hurts.

Hello? This is Kogamo no Ie.

Kaori-san?

During the preliminary contest your father came, Piami.

He'll be here again today.

But when he's done listening to your performance...

Piami...

It's my fault.

Papa!

Papa, don't go!

Papa!

Papa!

Are you fine with this, Piami? You don't wanna start playing again?

That's right. It's your dream, right?

I don't need that!

I want to be together!

I want to be together with papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

You heard your daughter's feelings, right?

That's all she wants. - Papa!

You're not a father if you leave after hearing her scream like that.

I know!

I can't help it...

Just call her name.

That's all.

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa...

Naomi!

Naomi!

Papa...

Papa!

Naomi...

You're so mean!

I'm sorry.

It's papa's fault.

You're not gonna leave anymore?

We will be together forever.

I'm sorry...

Hello?

Piami looked happy, didn't she?

Yeah.

Even though it's just a 6 tatami size room.

Why do you say that?

It's her real papa. I'm kind of jealous.

She's living in a 6 tatami size room with her real papa.

So persistent...

Maki!

Mama...

I didn't think that you'd call me again.

The kids came.

They said I was misunderstanding.

This café...

Did you remember?

How nostalgic.

I would never forget.

You were sitting there too.

I was on my way back from a friend's wedding and refused to go to the after party...

So you were wearing a cocktail dress.

An orange one...

Like the setting sun.

I was walking past here and saw you for the first time.

Love at first sight...

You were putting your bets on the setting sun.

All of a sudden you were sitting in front of me and said that.

Is this guy out of his mind, I thought.

I'm not a suspicious guy.

That's what you said and you showed me your badge.

That was the beginning.

Of a long, long... - story.

How about staring over again?

You look very pretty.

Thank you.

I have no parents or family to invite...

I've asked, but it does have to look good...

Just invite as many people as possible, like your boss or teachers.

Um...

There's one thing I want to talk about.

What?

Can I continue working after marriage?

That's not what you promised.

I want you to take care of the household.

Just for a little bit longer.

You can't.

My parents also accepted you because I told them you would do so.

Or else they'd be against marrying me, a person without parents?

That's not it. As a wife...

Someday being a mother of kids...

I want you to find a new purpose in life.

I also intended to do so.

But what?

What is wrong so suddenly?

Aren't you just getting cold feet?

You love me, right?

Love?

You are...

a strong man.

While I was weeping, you thought about what you should do and put it to action.

That's why I, once again, want to...

No.

You're a person, who even without me...

can think of something and get a purpose in life.

You're never hesitating and always looking forward...

That time...

What did you think I did?

I love you!

I love you!

Where did you go, Maou?

Why didn't you pick up the phone?

What's wrong?

Donki's mother came!

What are you doing?

Mama broke up with that guy.

She said that she loved me the most after all.

Do you believe that?

We have to be in time for the train.

Donki.

Farewell, guys.

Take care.

Oh my...

You are...

Please...

Please come with me.

The formalities have been taken care of.

Thank you for everything.

Maki! Let's go!

Donki...

Maou!

The formalities have been taken care of. - Are you gonna give her to her?

She will end up the same again!

Don't just decide that by yourself! - You think so too, right?

The formalities will be finished as usual.

I can't complain because a real parents came to get her.

So that girl... - No! She's different from Nippachi's mother!

You know that! - It can't be helped!

But if her real mother came to get her...

then what should we do?

But at least I want to tell her goodbye.

You should tell them goodbye.

Thanks for everything.

Donki...

That fool did something he shouldn't have done.

Who are they?

The people I went to for a 'test-drive'...

So you had some prospect foster parents?

It seems that you have taken good care of my daughter.

No...

But that won't be needed anymore.

I'm sorry, we have to catch the train.

Maki, let's go.

Ouch!

Donki!

You have to say it!

If she might abandon you again, then you can't trust her, who has abandoned you before.

You don't want to tell those two who love you that you don't need them.

If you feel like that, then...

Maki.

Maki-chan.

Enough, Maki. We have no time for this.

Please wait.

Maou...

This is how I feel.

Japan might suffer of declining birthrates but we are busy and have our hands full.

I don't want to make excuses, but...

sometimes people make mistakes.

They make mistakes...

and bring their baby to someplace else.

I want you to think over who your real mama is once again.

What are you saying?

The person who gave birth to you isn't your parent.

The person who raises you with love...

is your real parent!

There's a difference between birth- and real parents!

This is how I feel.

Please think about it.

If you expect that you'd abandon her once again...

then please give her the opportunity to return to her proper parents.

What is wrong with you?

What are you trying to do?

Cut the crap!

Let's go, Maki.

Come on, Maki.

Maki!

Donki.

Post...

What is wrong with that girl?!

Who do you think gave birth to you?

There's a limit to ungratefulness.

Just do as you want...

You'll be a burden to me anyway.

It's alright now.

Thank you very much.

We will take good care of her.

It's alright.
