In Loving Memory of
Miura Haruma
In the quiet dawn
I ponder this,
and question my own heart:
you fled the world to live among forest and mountain
in order to discipline the mind.
But though you have all the trappings of a holy man,
your heart is corrupt.
Ah...
If you say goodbye to him now...
I'm sure you'll meet someone new, right?
Something new to do in weather like this...
That's very bold of you.
Well, it looks good on you. I like it. I like it.
Next up is "Copy this." Morning Money with our resident CPA, Yamada-kun!
Hello.
Thank you for bringing me here. I'm Yamada, a CPA.
It's so refreshing...
Are you okay? Is there anything you're not telling us?
There's nothing. There's nothing I'm innocent.
- Good morning! - Hikari-san!
- Good morning to you. - I brought some supplies.
Mom. Mom. Mom.
- Thank you. - Here you go.
- I'm so glad. - Where's Keita?
Ah... He hasn't woken up yet.
- Saru-kun already left though. - Eh?
Around 6:00 a.m., he said "I'm going out for a while".
- That early? - Quite unusual, right?
He usually wake up late.
Did Saru-kun told you anything?
No, he didn't.
Did you two had an argument?
Nope. We didn't.
If it's not an argument then what is it?
- Eh... - Eh? - Eh?
What? What? What's wrong with Keita?
Nothing. He's the same as usual.
I'm going to work then.
She cut her hair, right?
Consistent since she joined the company and now look.
What's happening?
What happened?
Reiko-san.
Reiko-san?
Your hair looks good!
- Gaki-san. - Hey.
- Ah, I'll take that. - Here, thank you.
Where's Saruwatari-san?
- He's AWOL. - Huh!?
AWOL=Absent Without Leave.
Did he do something?
- A... Are you okay? - N... No...
- Same as always. I'm sorry. - Okay.
- Kuki-san! - Yes?
Come here.
This… These are the amounts on the bill.
I'm sorry. I made a mistake.
- Eh? - Eh? - Eh?
You knew?
God, I thought I made a mistake.
Kuki-san miscalculated...
Ah, that's right. It must be Saotome Chris Ken fault.
Hiss!
- I'll start over immediately. - Please do.
Yes! Here's some rice ball cake and...
please take of this.
Huh?
- What's going on? - Nothing.
There's a guy who usually gets in the way of my work
hasn't shown up today and skipped work.
But he's not doing a good job.
When he's not here, I find myself wanting for him to come.
He hasn't change, huh, Saruwatari-kun.
The tension has been there since rookie training.
Eh? Did Meiko-san and Saruwatari-san entered the company the same year?
"Let's make a toy together." and told me about his dream.
But I was assigned to the accounting department.
Well, I'm proud of my work right now.
As expected from the Don of accounting.
- Yes, this is not acceptable. - Eh? Why?
Because that's an all-girl's bar, right?
- No, it's the receptionist. - Do you live in the past?
Tsuruya-san, you spends too much on entertainment.
- You're lying. - You're by far in the first place.
- First place? - And this taxi fare.
- Why don't you try riding a bike? - I'll buy a bike.
And also the expense on this rice ball cake won't come off.
No, wait a minute, what's with this concentrated fire on me?
- Hey, give me break! - It won't come off. - It won't come off.
- No, somehow, this is just... - Good job everyone.
- No, somehow, this is just... - And the cost of the perm won't come off.
Can you do something for the perm?
I'm home.
I'm going to a reunion.
I'll be staying over,
I leave you two alone to get along, okay!
Warm up your curry and eat it!
Mama
I leave you two alone to get along, okay!
"Two alone..."
Two alone. Two alone.
Saruhiko-san.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
What the hell was
going through your owner's mind?
Suddenly, he...
just kissed... me!
I don't know what to do.
Yesterday, Saotome-san rejected me and I cut my hair,
and then there was this "thundering crack!"
But marriage is about one person for life,
If it was meant to be... "Thundering Crack!"
Like a bolt of lightning that strikes you, right?
Meant to be?
Let's get some food to eat. Yes.
ECOTV Presents
THE LAST EPISODE
Huh?
Hey!
Whoa!
Ah, curry... okay.
It's cooked. Okay.
And what else... Pickles.
Pickles. Pickles.
Eh...
Kanagawa prefecture Gokurakuji 6-2-16, Kamakura City Kuki Reiko
Yamada, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture 238 Nanatsu-so 102 Tanaka Saburo
Huh?
Eh!?
Ushijima-san.
I'll give you a decent severance package
when you find a new job.
- You've always been... - I'm fine.
I...
I'm not quitting.
Please excuse me for today.
Ah...
I
I still love you, Saotome-san.
I was having the hardest time of my life.
Saotome-san, you were there for me.
It's more human and wonderful
to be a little broken down than
to have a perfect Saotome-san.
You didn't even show up to work and what...
Sa...
You...
cut your hair.
I did.
Um... what can I do for you today?
Ah...
To return your umbrella.
I'm sorry about that.
This may be a bit selfish, but...
I never wanted to hurt you, Reiko.
It's selfish of me, but
It made me happy to know how Reiko felt.
It's true, that's why...
Saotome-san.
I am all okay now.
- Where is he? - He?
Saruwatari-kun.
Isn't he living here?
He hasn't come back since this morning.
He really is
a carefree man.
Saotome-san, would you like some tea?
Reiko, what's this?
Ah... They are registered mail addressed to me.
50,000 yen a month for 10 years in a jar disguised
as a pickle jar in the kitchen.
From a Tanaka Saburo-san
of Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Does it mean that your mom has kept it from you?
This Tanaka Saburo-san.
I don't know.
Ten years ago.
Ever since Reiko was in high school?
- Eh? Does this mean that... - It was after that...
Please don't say it.
I'm thinking of returning it tomorrow.
Eh?
We have no need to ask for money
from a stranger, Tanaka Saburo-san.
Reiko, if that's the case, then I'd like to go with you.
It's okay.
At that time,
You were there for me.
That is already enough for me.
I see..
I'm heading out.
Saruhiko-san.
Please watch over the house, okay?
Well then.
Saruhiko-san, you have a certain
resemblance to your owner, don't you?
So please,
Please listen to me.
Do you want to come with me?
Good morning!
Gaki-san!
I thought I'd take a day-off and hang out in Kamakura.
Then I remembered that Reiko-san's guest house is right around here.
I wonder if Reiko-san and Saruwatari-san are there.
Saruwatari-san has not yet returned.
Eh? Ah, Really?
I'm sorry that you've come all this way.
I'm going out to run some errands now.
- And where are you going? - To Izu.
Are you going alone?
Just me... and
this cute little one.
Well then.
Goodbye.
Hey!
I didn't know that Gaki had plans to come to Izu.
One of my regular routes
is from Kamakura to Izu.
Hey...
It's about Saotome-san, umm...
I know what a shock it must've been.
But in times like this, you need to just let it all out,
I'll join you on a binge drinking if you want.
Gaki-san, I'm sorry.
Ah, right.
- You prefer to be alone. - No.
That wasn't what I was thinking about.
Can I talk to you about something hypothetically?
Hypothetically... Sure, go ahead.
Let's say, for example,
that you Gaki-san K...
K... Kiss someone
So what would happen
if that were the case?
That would be...
If it's with a woman...
that I really like.
I would only, only do it to someone I like.
At least that's what I am.
I see.
Well, I don't know about Saruwatari-san.
Eh!?
He seems to live by instinct.
The way he thinks, he's like an ape,
and he's charming enough
to make anyone fall for him. Ah, those types.
What is it? What?
That was very helpful.
We will stop for three minutes to adjust the time.
Um... I was just wondering what you were talking about...
Is Reiko-san and Saruwatari-san...
Ah! Gaki-san, They are selling ikameshi.
Ikameshi=Squid stuffed with sweet rice.
They do.
I am a sucker for those ikameshi.
If I hurry, I might be able to buy one.
No, but it's just a three-minute stop.
Yes, I am very aware of that.
If I miss this train, the next one could be an hour away.
There's a delicious seafood bowl waiting for you when you get to Izu!
You're right. You're right. Yes.
Reiko-san!?
Gaki-san, please stay there.
I'm very confident in my legs. Now!
Now?
- Excuse me, can I have two Ikameshi, please? - Yes?
Two? Two is 800 yen.
- One, two... - Reiko-san, hurry up!
Three, four.
That's a 10 yen coin.
Reiko-san!
The train will be departing shortly.
- Just in time, thank you. - Thank you very much.
- Let's go. - Reiko-san, hurry!
Eh?
Huh?
Oh, no, no, no.
EH!?
Ah...
EHHhhh....
Gaki-san.
Have a nice trip.
Good.
Tender squid and a sweet sauce.
The broth soaking and interweaving on the cooked sweet rice.
It's a harmony of the sea.
Ah... So good.
Thank you, unexpected trip stopover for this ikameshi.
Thank you for 400 yen.
Saruhiko-san, this is just 400 yen.
Don't you think it's a great deal?
Because there are four squid in this box.
That's 100 yen per squid.
You don't understand.
Your owner paid
1,780 yen for a seafood curry
with only four slices of squid rings.
But...
It's really good.
Let's give him some when we get back home, okay?
Are you free today?
You asked me to come over.
Are you free today?
- This is Saruwatari Keita-san. - Hello.
Congratulations on your wedding.
- Congratulations. - So, about marriage...
The moment I mentioned "marriage",
he's like a kid who's running away.
Tomihiko-san, make yourself available next Saturday, okay?
- It's Kei-chan's birthday - Okay.
But doesn't he have plans?
Where do you think we should get the cake this year?
Thanks for the food. It was delicious.
What? In what way was it that good?
Well, umm... This duck is very elastic.
- Duck? - No...
The soup was good.
- Soup? - Eh...
No, not the soup...
The salad was the best.
Oh.
The salad?
Well, the dressing was excellent.
Well...
It's more like the dressing itself.
Ah... these prawns are very fresh.
The vegetables. Those are Kamakura vegetables.
I can't believe this, I ordered it for you!
You're not worth the effort! Okay. That's it. That's it.
Thanks for the food.
Oh? En'nosuke, you're here.
Did you have breakfast?
Hello? Oh my, my, my, my.
Maria-chan?
Of course, of course I remember.
I've missed you too. Yes...
Eh!? Kei-chan!?
In Kamakura!
Reiko-san...
Reiko-san.
Oh, my! Oh my.
Are you okay?
- I'm sorry, okay. - It's fine. It's fine.
Okay, thank you.
- Excuse me. Excuse me. - Hey, I was wondering
if you know where I can find this shrine?
I don't know much about it...
- Do you know? - Yes.
Is there a man named Tanaka Saburo around here?
Tanaka Saburo, right
TANAKA SABURO
Tanaka Saburo? I've never heard of him.
TANAKA SABURO
I've never heard of him
Then what about a man named Momota Yasuo?
MOMOTA YASUO
I don't know that person.
I don't know that person either
Momota Yasuo? I don't know.
MOMOTA YASUO
I don't know
Don't you have a photo of him?
Photo?
...I don't have one. I'm sorry.
I think we should go home.
Let's get some dried horse mackerel.
Miss, how about some Abalone?
You can't even find that in a sushi restaurant in Ginza.
- Dried horse mackerel, please. - Ah, yes.
Oh, well, that's good, too but we got some new ones today, right?
Didn't you saw that Momo-chan brought some this morning?
- Ah, I found it. - Momo-chan?
How many dried horse mackerel do you want?
- Um, who's Momo-chan? - Yes?
Eh?
Huh, isn't that Momo-chan?
But he's a bit younger.
Momo-chan's in the market cafeteria's Asashiomaru.
Market Cafeteria
Reiko-san!
Gaki-san!?
Thank goodness, I finally found you.
What do you mean you found me?
I'm sorry.
I've been looking for you because I was worried about you, Reiko.
I'm sorry as well.
Eh?
Hey...
It's true that I'm a sucker for ikameshi.
We've already discussed the possibility of missing the train.
I purposely went there to buy it.
I'm just... scared to get where I'm going.
When I was in middle school, my father was arrested.
Because of me.
I...
was like Saruwatari-san in the past.
Too sour.
Reiko!
My dad drove me to and from
tennis school every day.
Ever since I was a kid, lessons and camps
and tournament trips cost a lot of money,
but my father supported me.
He let me do whatever I wanted.
He bought me everything I wanted.
I took it all for granted.
I was always begging my dad for anything.
I went to America in the eighth grade.
When I was offered the chance to study abroad in tennis,
my father took care of the whole process
with a dictionary in hand.
But then that summer...
my father was arrested.
My father was an accountant for a company.
He's been embezzling money
for many years...
The money came from there.
We sold our house and our household items,
everything.
My mother bowed to all my relatives and borrowed money.
Somehow we managed to pay them back.
My dad left the divorce paper
and disappeared.
My mother and I were living with my grandmother.
In that house in Kamakura.
Because I wanted it...
and I wanted this, and that...
My father has committed a crime.
And I
I ruined my father's life.
That is why...
I just wanted to see him.
I wanted to see him.
You don't have to force yourself to see him, you know.
And now that you're here in the city where your father lives,
that's all you need to know for now.
Okay, let's go home.
Saruhiko-san?
- Eh? - Saruhiko-sa...
Saruhiko-san!
Ah, Saruhiko-san!
Saruhiko-san.
Why did you just run away like that?
Then let me give you a hand.
Hey.
Yes, thank you for waiting.
Dad...
Umm...
Hey!
Dad!
Dad, wait!
Dad, please don't go away!
Reiko.
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
Don't do that.
They told me
at tennis school that "You're talented".
I just wanted to help you develop your talent.
I don't want to give up on the money,
and so...
I was tempted.
I'm an idiot!
I should have protected you.
Your father has crushed it.
I crushed your dream,
your life,
I've destroyed it.
I...
I didn't want that.
I didn't want you to do anything bad for me,
I just want to do what I wanted to do.
This was enough for me.
Remember that?
When I was crying because I lost a match.
Dad, you bought it for me.
But it was broken, you know.
I fixed it.
Okay.
My life started
when I fixed it.
You know I,
I got a job at this toy company.
And you know what?
I work in the accounting department.
I'm happy now.
I don't have a lot of money
but every day I'm pretty happy.
Every day is quite fun.
Huh?
Yes... That's right.
I've never seen anyone so happy
with their money.
I've never seen anyone
eat a kakesoba like it's delicious for 180 yen.
And at the dine in bakery.
She only took 3 of Pão de queijo.
I never felt such happy feelings.
Thanks to Reiko-san that I got to know it.
And besides, the other day!
Reiko-san played tennis.
It was so incredible!
She looked like she was having fun!
Do you still... play tennis?
Yes.
Dad, it's going to be okay.
I'm... already an adult.
From now on...
The money...
please use it for yourself.
And from now on,
Dad...
Go live your own life, Dad.
And you...
What... Are you?
I know the introduction is a bit late.
That's Saruwa...
Ah, no, no. It's Saruhiko-san.
I'm truly sorry. Any day now.
I think he should have come back by now.
- I'm sorry. - Yes, here you go.
Oh, my. I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry, as well, Saruhiko-chan is away too.
Oh, no! I always bring out the sweet stuff.
Ah. Would you like a beer instead?
Yes, let's get one.
- Ah, that's nice. - Yeah, don't worry about it.
- Please wait.
Well... we just wanted to stop by.
- You've bothered her. - What are you talking about?
We have to bring Kei-chan home.
You can't expect him to stay here forever.
Don't worry about him. You know, in here,
we have extra rooms.
This is it. Here you. Here you go.
Ah, if you want,
would you like to see Saru-kun's room?
Oh my! Are you sure?
- Papa! - Here. Here.
- It's hot again today. - Yes, it is.
Then, let's do this first. Cheers!
Cheer!
Papa, do "cheers", come on.
Hey...
Does he ever know the word "tidy"?
Wow, this is Kei-chan's prized possession, isn't it?
This is a bit nostalgic.
The first one he drew was
of a tail so long it stuck out of the construction paper.
- It was of a monkey. - Yes.
A pink rabbit wind chime.
An airplane that flies like a blowgun.
A hat that make your cheeks red.
Letter Launcher in Class.
The Long Hyper Arm.
Mosquito coil frisbee.
Come on, you remember everything.
but you're always so hard on him.
He's not like me.
As your father used to say randomly,
"Make something useless".
That's right.
That kid has that talent, unlike me.
He is born with a gift for making people smile.
And I'm amazed,
that he didn't lose it when he grew up.
You should have just said that to Kei-chan yourself.
I won't say it. I'll just play along.
And I'm not going to let him take over the family business.
You're back to saying mean things to him again.
That kid could shine if he didn't take over the responsibility.
That kid... That kid is as fine as he is.
Come on. Let's go.
Come on...
Kei-chan.
Your Mama will always be your biggest fan, Kei-chan.
I'm quite sure that Saruwatari-san came back by now, right?
I don't know.
Originally, he said "Just until I find a place".
I'm guessing he's found a new place to live, right?
He's a real pain in the ass.
Ever since we worked together,
he's been giving me a lot of trouble.
But somehow...
it's just hard for me to hate him. That guy.
He just pops right back up with a smile on his face.
Let's have some fun again.
Eh? Are you crying?
So what, there's just some pollens in here.
What's going on?
Keita's mama must have liked me, right?
That's why my strategy is to make amends with her on Sotobori.
I think your strategy is wrong.
And besides... You're too late.
- What does that mean? - I was wondering if you'd be
interested in joining me for a binge drinking?
- I'll buy you a drink. - Huh?
Hey, what do you mean by "late"?
Keita's Mama
Yes, okāsama. This is Maria.
Okāsama=formal/polite version of mother.
Eh? Keita-san is not at home.
Oh, I see... Eh?
Right now? Dinner? Well, I guess...
Ah, umm... Well then, I'll...
Yes, certainly! I just bumped into
one of Keita-san's juniors just now,
I'd like for him to join us.
Hikari-san?
- Hi! - Hello.
- What are you doing here? - Just observing.
Observing?
That's my father who ran away after the divorce when I was just a baby.
Hey, if he doesn't pay child support,
that means he doesn't love me, right?
Hmm...
I'm still not sure about the relationship
between money and love, either.
However,
if someone hurts Hikari-san's
feelings just like that,
I will...
Saruhiko-san and I will do our best to protect you.
I see.
Okay.
Hello!
Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?
You know, this place right here needs a little bit
of floatiness. - Huh...
- Right? - That's good.
Right?
- Oh. - Ah...
Well, um...
I gave some incense to a friend of mine back in college.
Is that Hikari-chan's grandfather?
- You know Hikari-chan? - Yes.
Ah... I'd like to talk to you about that.
Is Hikari-chan my illegitimate child?
Where and how did that come about?
Saruwatari-san has gotten it wrong,
so I thought it would be better if you set the record straight.
What kind of train of thought, did that kid have?
I mean what does he think of his parent to begin with?
But Saruwatari-san and Hikari-chan
are close like a real brother and sister.
I think it's some kind of a fluke.
But that fluke is inexcusable.
If my wife heard about it...
I'm sorry.
- Eh? - Well, we kind of invaded your home.
No...
My mother...
Huh?
My mother seems to be enjoying herself
ever since Saruwatari-san came.
You know, when I think about it,
all I can think about is myself,
trying to make my mother smile.
I hadn't really thought about it.
Just by having Saruwatari-san is enough
to make my mother
smile every day.
And so...
it's not really a bother.
That kid really likes you, you know.
- Eh!? - I think he misses you.
That doesn't add up, though.
My wife and I are both in agreement with that, it doesn't add up.
But... I'm glad that he has you around.
I think he needed to be with
someone like you.
Saru-kun's Papa said that we can have
Saruhiko-chan to play with.
Good, good, good!
- Mom. - Eh?
- You've found it out. - I've found it.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because... If you found out about this,
you will say "I don't want any money from my dad",
right? - Yes.
Your father...
if he stopped sending money to Reiko,
I think he would lose his purpose in life.
If sending money was your father's reason for living,
I'd want him to be alive somewhere.
- Mom. - Yes?
Don't you want to see him?
Your mother didn't notice anything.
Hey, that's right.
It was a long time ago, and we've already been separated.
I'm sorry...
I didn't tell you about the money.
I was going to give it to you when you got married, Reiko.
Mom, there is one thing that concerns me about this.
- Yes? - You spend some of the money, right?
- Eh? - There were a couple of empty envelopes.
Ah, ah...
I guess you found out about that one too.
I'm sorry.
Book of Money
Ah, is that Saru-kun's handiwork?
What does it look like? Is it a monkey?
I guess so.
- He said it's a replacement present. - Replacement?
That tiny plate that you really like.
Saru-kun said that he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked, so he said he'll make it.
Hikari-chan taught him how to do it.
It looks cute, right?
Ah... It's getting colder.
Summer's almost over.
Saruhiko-san.
Why do I...
care so much about him?
Come to think of it, he's been an endless source
of annoyance to me ever since I met him.
Hey, nice to meet you.
Good morning.
Most of all, it seems I was the one who crack.
Are you going to eat all these?
There's no way I could eat it all.
I am going to eat it.
I told her not to do this kind of thing.
If it takes too much work,
wouldn't it be faster to buy a new one?
I think the more you mend things,
the more you'll love them.
Mend...
But...
come to think of it...
Saruwatari-san was always...
I don't blame you. Then let me give you a hand.
Good for you. Your 15 years of unrequited love.
It finally paid off.
I hope Saotome-san is the one.
always...
This lady got her first date this time.
Ah...
So pick out an accessory that looks good with this one-piece.
Reiko-san is too good for you.
always kind to me.
Because if you say
goodbye to him now...
I'm sure you'll meet someone new, right?
You wouldn't know it if you were next to him.
And when he isn't next to you...
To be honest, I'm pissed off too.
Aren't you worried?
What if he spends a lot of money somewhere,
and somewhere he runs out of money
and he can't even come home...
When I met my father in Izu....
I wanted to ask him.
Why is it?
Why does he... looks so lonely?
I want to see him...
I want to see
Saruwatari-san again.
In other word, while I
while I was trying to fix my broken heart,
I found out about Saruwatari-san.
Oh, my.
I know.
You had a very long trip today,
you must be tired.
On quiet nights, the moon at my window recalls to me,
and tears wet my sleeve at the cries
of the monkeys.
The fireflies in the nearby grass
blend their little lights.
The sound of dawn rain comes to me like a storm wind in the treetops.
