Tsubame! You'll be late!
Oh no...
Tsubame, good morning!
Tsubame!
Good morning!
Huh?
Ah! It kicked.
- There. - No way!
- One more, one more! - See! See!
Ah!
Wow!
It sure is lively!
I really think it's a boy!
Huh? I think it's a girl.
What?
If it's a boy, I'm the one who's gonna choose his name.
If it's a girl, we'll be the one who's going to name her. Right, Tsubame?
Tsubame?
Hm?
Yeah.
Right.
What's wrong? You're not yourself.
No, it's nothing.
Ah!
Which reminds me, isn't it Toru's birthday today?
- The boy next door? - Yeah.
Ah, it might be.
Ah! Tsubame! You went out awhile ago. Could it be?
Huh?! You've got the wrong idea!
What do you mean?! Why are you smirking?!
That's not it.
I'm off.
Hey, Dear!
Birds have it better.
Right? Right?
- No way! - It was yesterday.
I read it yesterday!
I know right! It's insane!
Good morning! Hey, Tsubame!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Have you checked out the school's BBS?
No.
Who wrote this? It's really crazy!
3B's Oishi Tsubame who used to play around and go out with 3A's Sasagawa Makoto.
But she is a crappy bitch who dumped him like trash.
The one who wrote this is really horrible!
It could never be us, right?
I know right!
Right?!
Huh?! That's crazy!
Yo, crappy bitch!
Huh? Hey, Sasagawa! Tsubame's not a crappy bitch!
Shut up, hag!
What the hell?!
It's okay, Nami. It's alright.
Sasagawa really pisses me off.
I think he feels bad being dumped by Tsubame.
I know right!
In this vast universe, light is really weak
that there are many stars we cannot see.
Most of the stars we is like the sun emitting light.
And we call those stars as fixed stars.
That's nice, Ms Toyama.
It is flowing with elegance.
That's right. I left that elegance on purpose.
I see.
Lovely.
Oh. The characters somewhat have great power.
It's so cheerful even though the characters mean regret.
Is it alright they are cheerful?
Yes, especially the vertical stroke here.
Did something happen at school that you regret?
No. It's something that happened a long time ago.
Ah, I got it. You got into a fight with your father.
No, it's something that happened past that.
I see.
It is true that there will be more things one would regret as time goes by.
How was today?
It was fun.
Hey, you.
What are you doing?
How dare you touch things that don't belong to you.
How cheeky of you.
I'm sorry.
So you smile doing it?
To think you used it without permission, you're really a cheeky one!
I'm so sorry.
Hey, hey, hey.
Yes?
You can ride this thing?
I can't.
You can't? But you just rode on it awhile ago!
Teach me how to ride it.
Are you deaf? I told you to teach me how to ride it.
- How to ride it? - Yeah.
- Um, Let's see. - So how?
- The board here, you see. - Which?
- You place your foot here. - Okay.
And then you kick with the other foot.
Ah! So you kick. Give it here.
Place your foot, then kick.
Ah! This is... this is wonderful!
Hey, hey, look at me!
Whoa!
Teach me how to stop when you taught me how to ride it!
Kids these days sure aren't helpful!
Granny Hoshi...
Huh?!
Since you're an old lady who flutter in the starry sky, you're Granny Hoshi.
You're now calling me an old lady.
My name is Hoshino Toyo. I have a proper name you know.
Hoshino...
So you're really Granny Hoshi.
Don't just give me a nickname.
You just flew in the sky, right?
Yeah. It's one of my skills.
I can do anything when I get older.
Anything?
More or less.
You see...
Hm?
No. Forget it.
Come on! What is it?! You're now making me want to know it!
I made a letter to someone I like because it was late at night.
I really regret doing it.
What? You blame doing it because it's late at night?
It's nothing.
Then you just need to get it back?
Yeah. Okay.
You can do it?
I told you. I can do anything I got older.
Well, you also taught me how to ride awhile ago too.
Come here.
You should talk me more about it in detail. Come on, sit.
Well, let's see. For starters, where should I go?
His room is across my room...
Bye! See you later!
Oh! Good morning, Tsubame!
Izumi, you're just on your way home now?
Yeah, I guess so.
Hm?
Oh. It's nothing. It's just that it seems your image changed.
Really?
But anyway, what was your image of me before?
Sis.
Tsubame, later.
Transformation.
That's nice. It is shaking with the sense of wanting to change.
It's nice that it was written delicately.
Are you praising me?
Of course.
I also had that fear to change.
Is that when you went about and started this school?
Ah, yes.
I was fortunate that my father left me this building.
By the way, Mr Ushiyama, is there an old lady living in this building?
An old lady?
Yes.
What sort of?
What sort?
She's really showy and really has an attitude.
No. I don't think there's anyone living here like that.
- Is that so? - Yeah.
Okay. Then that's all for today. Good work, everyone.
Thank you for today.
Ah, that's right, Tsubame.
Hm?
Can I have a moment?
Don't you find this wonderful?
It's an ink painting done by a 10-year-old.
This is made by a 10-year-old?
Yes.
Actually, her teacher is Ms Yamagami Hibari!
I see...
Even though she also was my teacher,
that it really gave me an impression.
If I'm not mistaken, you also like the calligraphy of Ms Yamagami Hibari, right?
Yes.
What do you think? Want to try challenging yourself in ink painting?
I'm also doing ink painting. It's lots of fun!
I'll talk about it with my family.
Okay, that's right. If you're interested, please tell me.
Yes, Sir.
Hey.
Hey!
Huh?! What?! No way!
Huh?! How did you do it?!
I told you! I can do anything since I'm old!
How? Wait.
Since I was curious, I read the letter. What's this?
"Toru, happy birthday. You've always been my hero."
No! Stop it! Stop!
Give it back!
"Hero"?! That's so lame!
That was surprising!
You really made me laugh!
Tell me, why do you like that Toru?
- Why? - Yeah.
He is really kind to me for the longest time.
- We were in the same club during grade school. - You're really a child.
Geez, you really made your memories of him beautiful inside your head.
You must not be fixated over him like that.
You should not stop your time like that.
Listen here, men are people who lives moving forward.
What do you know?
I can't help it that you're wasting your time.
You should use your time thoughtfully.
Use my time thoughtfully?
Next time around, you should tell your feelings in front of him personally.
I couldn't do that! That's why I wrote it in a letter!
Oh!
An insensitive old lady like can say whatever she wants, but not me.
I'm a girl in a delicate and a troubled age!
I'm not an old lady with one foot in a coffin.
You became cheeky again!
You laugh about it?
Who cares about that. Come on, give me what you promised.
Geez.
Wait. Where's the chicken with rice meal?
Don't have it.
I told you that I want to eat meat.
Next time, bring me some mid sized beef and rice meal.
Are you in a restaurant.
- By the way, Tsurume. - It's Tsubame.
You might just be afraid of telling what you feel right now.
But regret will only come after taking action.
Tsubame!
Toru.
Back from calligraphy class?
Yeah.
How about you?
I just got back from a studio.
I have a live performance in a month.
Live performance?
Ah. Come watch me if you like.
Ah, you can't if it's late at night.
Ah, I'll go! I'll really go.
Got it. Thanks.
Then I'll go prepare the tickets.
Then good night.
Good night.
Toru.
Hm?
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Ah, good morning.
What are you making?
It's a baby bed. Don't you think it's too early?
There's no such thing as being too early to be prepared.
But it's still too early.
Ah, Tsubame. I've prepared the tuition fee for your calligraphy class.
Thank you.
How is calligraphy class? Getting better?
I wonder about that. But I'm having fun.
Even though many say I'm old fashioned.
I can't do that since I'm really bad at handling brushes.
My teacher said that I try ink painting.
What do you think, Dad?
If you'd like to, why not?
Yeah, I'm okay with it.
Yamagami Hibari "Grey Painted World"
Tsubame?
Ah, Mr Ushiyama.
Oh!
That makes me so happy. So you're interested in it.
That's not it.
I'll buy this for you as present.
- You don't have to. - It's alright, I'll buy it as thanks.
Wait, wait. Mr Ushiyama. You don't have to.
It's okay.
The importance of calligraphy and ink painting are the feelings in the strokes and the supposition.
May it be circles or katakana, it should be written with feelings. It should be expressed with the painting.
That's what Ms Hibari taught me.
What kind of person is Ms Hibari?
She's a strong person. Like she solidly holds herself together.
Ah, that's right.
Ms Hibari will have an art exhibition starting next week in Tokyo.
Here.
If you could come.
In Tokyo?
Please come with your family if you can.
They might be interested too.
Sis, wait!
I didn't think you'll be such a traitor!
I told you to not tell Dad!
I didn't say anything to Dad!
I only chatted a little with Mom.
Are you an idiot? You know what will happen next if you told Mom!
However you think about it, you're being tricked!
What do you know?! You even haven't talked to him!
I know enough hearing stuff about him!
He doesn't even work and just gets money off from you.
If he's seriously dating you, why doesn't he introduce himself?!
I was the one that said he doesn't have to!
Huh?
I am going to marry him.
Marry him?
He's really lacking. He can't do anything without me.
But I don't think you'll understand what I feel.
Tsubame.
You saw all that, huh?
You saw something weird. Sorry about that.
Don't worry.
Are you okay?
Yeah. Thank you.
I somewhat had a bad hunch.
How should I say it. Izumi had always been easily tricked.
Bad things happened to her in the past.
I see.
Um, if there's anything I can do to help, just tell me.
Thank you.
Sure.
How many times should I say that you bring me something this grand.
Please.
I want to be of help.
So it's about the boyfriend of the big sister of your prince charming.
Don't you think of me of something like a spy or something?
- Geez. - I don't actually.
Ah! That was delicious!
Thanks for the food!
I'll give this too.
Am I a dog?
Well, well, you know.
Let's see. Okay.
Something to know and find out are different things.
But the first thing to do is the roof where I can see everything.
Roof?
Well you see, I've seen lots of roofs, right?
I can tell what kind of people live under the roof.
You've seen a lot of different roofs from your job?
Ah, your job from knowing the proximity?
No, you're a constructor.
Hey!
It's because I can fly!
What are you talking about?
See the roof of the house over there that are placed one after the other
and is made nice can only mean that there are successful people living in it, right?
Well, I don't get it.
What about people living in condos and apartments?
You're kidding, right? Condos and apartments also have roofs.
They look different but they're still homes!
Listen here. Don't you think that you can tell people who are strong just by knowing what kind of roof they are living under?
Because you can have an idea after all.
But it's not just a couple who live under one roof, but they also sometimes gaze the roof.
That kind of relationship is good.
Huh? What? What's wrong?
Did your head panic with how grand this old lady is talking about?
I'm just thinking what kind of roof I was born under.
What are you talking about? Your roof is somewhat shiny and used cheap red. Painted by an amateur.
Your parents probably painted it themselves.
No, that's not it. You see...
The roof before my current family.
What do you mean the roof before your current family?
It just means that I am not the daughter of my current mother.
They said that my real mother left me when I was two.
I wonder why I'm saying something like this to you.
Well...
Tsubame, since you ask me for favors, I also have some favor to ask.
What is it?
Ah, that's right. I'll ask for it tomorrow.
You see, there's somewhere I'd like to take you.
What took you so long?
I'm ten minutes early.
Time is nothing when you're excited!
What are you talking about?
Okay, let's go then.
- Let's go! - Where are we going?
I wonder where we are going.
Come on, bus!
It won't come even if you called it.
Here it is.
What?!
You can leave these kind of stuff to me.
Did you call it yourself?!
Okay! Good work! Let's go.
You pay for my fare.
- You have no money? - Come on, please.
- You didn't bring money? - Please!
The beach is really great!
It's beautiful.
It sure is sparkling!
The first steps!
Don't do that, Granny Hoshi!
What are you doing?
There! Over there!
- There! Over there! - There's one!
- Come here, ocean's wind! - What are you talking about?
To be able to come in here, you should do this.
- What? What? - Let's go, let's go.
These are good souvenirs.
This is cute!
These two together will be our good souvenirs.
Come on! Buy them! Cheapskate!
What?!
- Right? Right? - Wow!
Amazing, right?
Right? Right? They're so cute!
- It's mommy! It's mommy! - No, you're not.
We're stuck!
It stood still.
It's coming here.
Oh, it sure is. Maybe...
So beautiful!
I really wanted to see this.
Jellyfishes don't look like they are swimming.
They look like they're flying in the sky.
Right? They are a lot like me!
What?
Jellyfishes are flying in the sky and spend their life swaying slowly.
What're you doing?!
- Granny Hoshi! - Do it with me~
- No, I won't! - Do it, come on~
- It looks weird! - I came here because I want us to do it!
What're you saying? We came here to see this.
Beautiful~
That's so nice. It might be so fun that they can sway any way they like.
But it's not just wandering about that's so fun about it.
Hey, Granny Hoshi.
Hm?
I will become a big sister around the end of summer.
A baby who shares the same blood of Dad and Mom will be born.
I wonder if I'll become its proper family.
You know, I'm quite sure that it's not that important that you share the same blood.
Listen here, husband and wife are unrelated at first.
Isn't it family already when you spend your time together under one roof?
I met up with Makoto here before, only once.
Who is Makoto?
Ah, he's my grandson.
That's when I realized it the first time.
I realized I lost the time to spend with someone as precious as him.
It was only that time I really regret.
It would have been really nice if I spend time flying with him.
We would hold our hands together and go around places.
And once we're tired, we would rest above a roof.
And then...
We gaze at the stars.
Izumi.
Ah, Tsubame.
Going on a vacation?
Yeah, something like that.
But it's something which I don't know what will happen.
Bye then, Tsubame.
Izumi!
Hm?
It's the roof.
What?
It's not only when you are together in a house.
It would be better if your relationship will be something where you can gaze the roof together.
What?
Tsubame! It's crazy! Sasagawa's being called in the office!
Heard he was drinking whiskey during classes.
It's crazy! Let's go!
Come on! Let's go! Come on!
Sasagawa lied that he went to classes.
What're you looking at?
Sasagawa.
You should tell what you want personally.
Huh?
Come on, let's go.
You did really great.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Tsubame.
Hm?
Come here for a sec.
Come in.
Hm?
What's this?
It's a baby.
Which is which?
This is the head, and these are its legs.
I can't tell at all.
Do you think it's a boy or a girl?
I wonder...
Girl?
You'll have a sister.
Little sister~
You know...
By the way, Granny Hoshi, why are you riding that?
You don't really need it when flying, right?
It's just that Makoto likes this.
So you're practicing so that you can play with Makoto someday.
Well, there's that.
What will you do if you can fly?
You'll probably take a peek to the room of your prince charming.
So I'm right!
No, no, you're not.
What?
Yes, I'm right.
I have something else I want to do instead of going to Toru's room.
What is it then?
A threaded telephone.
What?
I told you, threaded telephone.
I want a thread that's hanging from Toru's room to my room.
I'll tell him what happened to me everyday.
Cool, right?
What do you mean a threaded telephone?
You're really some dreaming dream girl.
There are mobile phones and text messages.
But there are things you can't tell with those.
You're a good girl.
That's surprising.
Here.
There!
What's this?
A physalis.
Physalis?
Come on, it's from your prince charming's sister.
Izumi?
I borrowed that from the balcony of the apartment of that careless guy of Izumi.
You stole it?
Yeah.
But it has nice waves, huh?
To think there's one from that bleak balcony at their apartment
that I somehow cheerfully see them.
Well, I think everything's going to be okay with them if they will carefully grow it, right?
It's nice that they are related to something like that.
It's nice.
Granny Hoshi.
Hm?
I'll go see someone I really like to meet.
Do you like this painting?
I painted this around a decade ago.
I think it's about the time I started ink painting.
Do you like birds?
Yes, I love them.
They freely fly in the sky. And when they are tired, they rest in the roofs or electric lines.
I admire that kind of life.
Roofs...
But it's rare that someone as young as you here.
Do you like ink painting?
Wait here.
Here. It's my thanks for coming here.
Ink painting is fun.
Please try it if you're interested.
Um, may I ask...
Mommy!
What's wrong?
I am talking to someone so go to Daddy.
Sorry about that.
Hm?
Thank you very much.
Welcome home, Tsubame! Did you get wet in the rain?
What happened?!
You're drenched!
Tsubame.
Hey.
You must dry yourself.
Tsubame?
Are you okay?
You'll get sick, you know.
You'll be alright.
There there now.
Hey!
What?
A-A-Are you okay?
Help! Help! Help!
Then let's eat.
Okay.
Thank you for the food.
What's wrong, Tsubame?
Did you get dumped by someone you like?
Hey!
You're the one who got dumped.
Hm?
Hey, Tsubame.
W-What's wrong?
I went and see her.
The mother who gave birth to me is happily living with her new family in Tokyo.
Oh, I
I'm glad that you happily saw her. Yeah.
That's it?
Tsubame, let's eat.
Why aren't you angry?
There are other things you want to say, right?
Tsubame! Okay! That's enough!
Aren't you glad, Mom?
You finally have your own daughter.
You three can now live happily together as a real family.
You don't have to take care of me anymore...!
Apologize to your mother.
Granny Hoshi!
Hey! Granny Hoshi!
Didn't you say that I will be able to know what kind of person one is by looking at their roofs?
What kind of roof did you live, Granda Hoshi?
Hey! Granny Hoshi!
Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
What seems to be the matter?
How dare you.
Are you embarrassed to be seen by your friends when I'm with you?
Not really.
Relax.
I would be seen by people who wants to, and won't be seen by people who don't want to!
I don't mind what people think when I'm with you.
You're going, right?
Where?
Ah, you're playing dumb, huh?
Taking advantage of people's weaknesses
is the fastest way to win their love.
That's not it!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
I shouldn't after all.
Then let me go in your place and steal a kiss.
No, no. What are you saying?
Carefully go!
You'll regret it forever if you don't!
There! Carefully go!
Carefully go? What?
Excuse me.
Yes?
I came to visit Asakara Toru.
Mr Asakura, right? Please wait a moment.
Toru.
Tsubame. So you came to visit.
Yeah.
I'm here to visit you.
Thank you.
Wanna sit?
Are you okay?
Hmm... Yeah.
But...
I think this would be for the best.
What?
If not...
I would have been a killer.
Killer?
If by chance I was able to catch up to him that night,
I could have probably killed him.
That's how much I hate him.
When I saw Izumi one time in town,
there's a large bruise at her face.
Then...
I snapped.
By the way, it's too bad that you can't perform next week.
But once you're healed, I'll be sure to watch.
I wonder about that.
Huh?
Even though what looks important in playing banjo are the fingers to pluck the strings,
what's most important is the whole body.
I wouldn't be able to get in rhythm and be balanced with my leg like this.
It would be hard...
I sure am pathetic, huh?
To think I'm complaining this to you.
Tsubame, be sure to not let your family sad.
Okay.
Ah, yo!
What's wrong?
Granny Hoshi...
Toru is...
...so nice.
I see.
Granny Hoshi...
I feel bad...
with what's going on with Mom.
It's alright, it's okay.
You're still related, okay?
It's bad if you just go around in circles for a month in summer break.
Think about yourself and see yourself to what's to come!
Think about your future self.
You'll see your path naturally if you do that.
Okay?
You're not listening, are you?!
Well then. Have fun with your summer vacation. That's all!
Stand!
Bow!
Okay!
I'm home.
Ah, Tsubame, welcome home.
It's finally summer vacation, huh?
Tsubame, let's go to Hakone as our trip this summer.
We won't be able to go on trips much after this season.
Sorry, I can't go this year.
Since Toru's hospitalized, I plan to help him in his recovery.
Okay.
Then we'll just cancel the trip.
It would be nice if Toru gets better.
Yeah.
There's something I'd like to show you.
What is it?
Ta da!
It's a cute cow.
It's a mouse.
Ah...
Sorry.
No, it's okay.
My calligraphy teacher recommended that I start ink painting.
That's nice.
How are you feeling?
Since you come visit me everyday, I feel a lot better.
I'm going to use crutches soon.
Really?
Then, banjo too?
I might be able to play it too.
That's great!
That's love.
Mr Ushiyama, stop distracting me.
Sorry.
That's a wonderful painting.
I could already hear the tune of the guitar.
It's a banjo.
And it's not love.
Sorry about that.
How about you fall in love?
I'll do my best.
Mr Ushiyama, can you have a look?
W-What is it? Yes?
I want these parts to look unpolished...
The cow last time was quite bad but this one is really amazing!
It's nothing to laugh about.
And the last one was a mouse and Toru was happy with it.
The power of love is amazing.
Shut up.
You seem to be down lately.
Of course I am. It's very tiring whenever I'm always with you.
Because of you, I get along well with Toru that I want to return the favor.
Oh! Then buy me some barbecue meal.
That's not it.
What the heck?
Don't you have someone you want to see?
Don't you want to see your grandson, Makoto, who you told me when we were at the aquarium?
I'll go find him.
No, no. You don't have to.
Why?
There are important things that it's better to be far from them.
Once you get close to them, you lose them again, so it's better this way.
But you're the one who told me that it's better to say what you truly feel.
Geez! You won't understand strange things such as this.
I am glad that I went to visit Toru in the hospital.
I am glad to see his side of him complaining and weak.
And also, I'm glad that I was able to feel Toru's painful feelings even if only a little.
Granny Hoshi.
You should use your time thoughtfully.
So you'll search for the Makoto who lives under the crimson tile roof in this town.
That's it?
That's all.
She got a letter from her daughter who disappeared, and there's a picture of him in it.
And where's the picture?
She said she lost it.
I see.
That makes things quite hard.
But it's summer vacation. Since our family trip got cancelled, I thought of searching him.
It feels like you're having fun.
Really?
I want to repay Granny Hoshi. That's why I'll search for him.
Want to join me?
Just kidding.
I'll join.
It's going to be a good exercise so if it's alright with you, I'll help.
But I wonder if we can find him. There are lots of roofs.
Crimson roof, right?
There.
Just a bit more.
Yeah.
This is it.
I should've got it sooner.
Hey, crappy bitch.
Are you Tsubame's friend?
Thank you for getting along with her. Hello.
How?
Huh?
Do I know you?
Um, we used to date for a month.
But even though we dated, nothing happened.
W-What are you doing?
We are trying to find someone for Tsubame's friend. If you can, please help.
Forget it, Toru! L-Let's go.
- Really? - Yeah, forget it.
I-If it's alright with you, I'll help.
You don't have to.
Really? We are looking for houses with a crimson tile roofs.
Tell us if you find one.
Okay.
Bye then.
It's obvious he likes you, Tsubame.
What?
Things would be difficult if he becomes your boyfriend.
Why don't you try to be one.
Hm?
No, it's nothing.
I think blue would have been better.
How many times should you change it? This color is fine. I like it.
Really?
It's cute.
It's nice.
I'm home.
- Ah, welcome home. - Welcome home.
Tsubame, look at this.
Looks good.
Um...
Here.
And also, I haven't properly apologized for a long time.
I'm sorry that I said some cruel things in the past.
Mom.
You don't have to worry about me and just take good care of the baby that's coming.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I don't want to have things hard on you.
Of course I'll take good care of her.
You two should also be prepared since it's going to be tough.
Tsubame?
It's open.
What's wrong?
Well...
The stars sure are pretty.
What? You're making me sick.
Sorry, sorry.
You see...
What you did awhile ago made me happy.
Thank you.
Sure.
Tsubame.
You know, Mom always avoided making a new family.
Because she felt like the teamwork of us three would collapse.
Could she have been careful because of me?
It's the opposite.
She fell in love with you at first sight.
She really felt lucky that she suddenly has an adorable daughter along with a husband.
What?
And during the time when the one who gave birth to you,
Hibari wanted to take you with her,
the one who was very stubborn to refuse was Mom.
Mom is amazing.
Hey, Dad.
I'll take good care of my little sister that will soon be born.
I'll see to it that she becomes a proper member of the family.
I'm counting on you.
Stop it.
Tsubame!
Long time no see!
You really got tanned!
What did you do during summer break?
Did you go to the beach?
Um, I solely just walked.
Just as I thought!
Really?!
We noticed it a bit but did you walk with some hottie?
Is he your boyfriend?
No, he's my neighbor.
Your neighbor?
Neighbor?
What the heck!
Settle down now!
Okay, sit down!
Summer break is over!
You have to properly switch back to studies, come on.
What're you doing?
Do that later.
Back there, sit down.
Okay!
Now that summer break is over...
Hey! Just where are we going?!
Tsu-Tsubame!
I think I found the crimson colored roof.
Granny Hoshi.
It's that.
Shall we stop since we got here already?
What're you saying now that we've come this far? Let's go.
No.
Go by yourself and check things out first.
Huh?
I get it already, so stay here.
Okay.
Oh.
Yo!
Ah, our house also has a crimson roof.
Sasagawa...
...Makoto?
Huh?
You suddenly called me in my full name?
Ah, well, you see. Anyway, do you have a grandmother?
What do you mean?
I think everyone has one, though I haven't met mine.
Then do you know someone named Hoshino Toyo?
Hoshino?
I don't know anyone like that.
- Really? - Yeah.
Her name is Hoshino.
And she's looking for his grandson named Makoto and could you...
You're annoying! I told you, I don't know anyone like that.
That's all?
Bye then.
Are you okay, Granny Hoshi?
Sorry, I think I got the wrong person.
Granny Hoshi...
Have you realized it?
Realized what?
He wasn't able to see me.
You mean he wasn't able to meet you?
Yeah.
Well, I think there's no helping it. It's because I always...
No, it's alright, it's alright.
Thank you anyway. I owe you.
What're you saying? This is not like you.
Ah! I feel refreshed!
I turned away from what's important and been wandering past it.
Want to come in? I'll introduce you to my parents.
I guess I'll hold back for now.
You don't have to.
Our food is quite delicious, you know.
Are you by chance trying to cheer me up?
Don't think I'm depressed.
I'm not.
You're relentless anyway.
Ah Tsubame, you should also live relentlessly.
Okay.
Bye then.
By the way, treasure your family.
A little sister is adorable!
Okay.
Also, I'll leave Makoto to you.
He's a good boy, I'm sure. Okay?
Many things will come your way starting now!
What?
Be sure to treasure each and everything.
What's with her?
Also, don't kill the physalis.
Granny Hoshi!
Granny Hoshi?
Granny Hoshi...
Tsubame?
Here's your big sister.
It's your little sister.
Tsubame, let's think of her name together.
Yeah.
I see.
Then you've now become a big sister.
She still looks like a monkey as she was just born recently.
But having a sibling is nice, though it's sometimes troublesome.
Yeah.
How is Izumi?
She's currently searching for a husband thoroughly.
She really learned what happened to her.
I see.
By the way, how is your old lady friend?
I haven't heard anything from her recently.
Granny Hoshi is alright.
I'll introduce you to her someday.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Okay.
Ah, want to see the baby?
Is it okay?
Yeah, since you're here.
Really? Then might as well.
Yo!
Why are you here? What do you want?
Come with me a bit.
Come on.
You know, this kind of remind me when we were dating.
Not at all.
We never went to a family restaurant.
You're acting like that as always.
So what do you want?
You might be misunderstanding but it was not me who posted that in the school BBS.
It was Nami who wrote it.
Nami?
She has confessed to me many times already.
But she said she'll fight for it this time.
Huh?
So Nami likes you.
That's kind of scary right? Like she's sly or something.
I see...
Well, that doesn't matter anyway.
You see,
I'm moving out next week.
My mother found a new guy and we'll live in another town.
I see.
That's why I think I should show you this before we move out.
What is it?
You were right.
I don't remember it but she's my grandma who took care of me when I was a kid.
Even though relatives called and we visited her in the hospital,
she died the next day when that picture was taken.
Heard that she was healthy at first and even sneaked out of the hospital,
but she lost consciousness after that.
Ah, but then we were surprised that she got up when me and my mother visited.
And that is the picture that was taken that time.
Granny Hoshi...
Granny Hoshi?
Her name is Hoshino Toyo... so Granny Hoshi.
Granny Hoshi who loves jellyfishes...
Jellyfishes?
This is the first time I saw her smile like this.
I'm alright.
Wait. Why do you know my grandma?
Sorry but I think you should take this.
Thanks.
Wait, wait, wait! That's not it!
You should measure it.
- Measure it? - Yes.
There.
This should be this much.
Okay.
Understood? Can you do the rest?
What?!
Tsubame, what's wrong?
It's nothing.
Granny Hoshi...
So you finally meet someone you wanted to see...
You know...
It was fun...
I really had fun...
Thank you very much...
Granny Hoshi...
