Overprotected Kahoko (2017) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1
There is a princess who lives
in this small kingdom.
This is her story.
She's been carefully brought up
in this little castle.
Wake up, Kahoko!
Come on, wake up!
Since her childhood,
she has depended on the queen.
Hey come on, wake up!
- Wake up!
- By herself
she couldn't decide anything.
- Good morning.
- Hey Mum.
Which one do you think is better?
Umm Let me see
This is the morning ritual
since she was a child.
Maybe this one?
That's what I thought.
Dad.
I told you to use a coaster
because it'll leave a mark.
Sorry.
The queen turns into a meerkat
if someone is hurting the castle.
Let's eat.
Hot!
I've always told you to be careful
because it's hot.
- Eat your salad too.
- Okay.
- Which dressing? This one.
- Yes, that's good.
Near the queen, the princess looks
like a frog that still has a tail.
Yum! Mum's omelette
is always the best!
The tail seems to have gotten
shorterbut I could be wrong.
I've finally found the reason
why I should work.
I want to work
to make people happy.
I want to find a job where
I can make lots of people happy.
I don't know what that is yet.
- Hey, Kahoko.
- Yes?
You said you want to do a job
to make people happy yesterday.
Why is that?
Oh, I felt really happy
as I saw Mugino's drawing.
So I wanted to do something similar.
Well, then why don't you get
married and become a housewife?
Making a family happy
is a great job too.
Don't you think so?
I'm sure you think so.
But Mugino said that's not okay.
What? I don't understand.
Well
Do you really want to become
independent?
Junior high school to high school,
and to university, and then?
If you can't get a job,
you wait until you get married?
I think you just want to stay
as the child.
Live in the castle all your life
Afraid of going out into society.
Am I right?
Of course not! How rude of him!
Maybe he's running a scam or
religious cult?
I have had a bad feeling about him.
Didn't you say earlier
that he was a good kid?
And what's more, Kahoko
How do you find a job
that makes people happy?
It's easy to say.
But it won't be so easy to find.
Yes, but I'm sure there's something.
Something only Kahoko can do.
Hey Dad, can I take a tour of
your company?
I don't know a lot about your job.
Well I don't mind.
And I want to see how Uncle Mamoru
and Uncle Atsushi work.
Mum, can I?
Dear wife, please allow her.
Our daughter is about to grow up.
- Okay.
- Really?
I'll ask Mamoru and Atsushi later.
We can go there together.
Ohokay. Thank you.
Hey, are you going too?
Here it is.
"Episode 2"
Manager, could I show my daughter
around the office?
Oh sure, of course!
It's rare nowadays for a daughter
to visit her father's workplace.
Thank you so much.
She really is adorable as I heard.
Ma'am, I'm sorry that I couldn't
secure an offer for her.
I wish I could have helped.
NoThank you.
Huh? What?
She means we're sorry for putting
you through the trouble.
Out of her kingdom,
the queen is "quiet as a mouse".
or rather "quiet as a meerkat".
Well This way please.
Speaking of insurance, these days
there are more than
life or fire insurance.
There are many other kinds.
For example, earthquake insurance,
travel insurance
Pets, children, bicycle, golf,
teeth, anxiety insurance
And so on
I see
She doesn't seem to care.
Don't you have any questions?
Why did you start working here?
Because it's the best
in the industry?
Well There was that too
There must be better answers
but I can't find the words.
Why do you have the face
as if you didn't care?
Well, more than making people happy,
my job is to protect people.
And I see a lot of people's
dark sides.
This job may be not for you, Kahoko.
I see.
Excuse me, is there a post office
around here?
Um the post office
If you want to go to the
post office
Turn left at the next traffic light.
It's on your right.
Having returned to her kingdom,
the queen is back in her game.
Be careful about the dog
at the house on the corner.
Okay, thank you.
When a recovered patient
says thank you
it makes me feel really happy.
But it is really sad
if they don't get better.
This might be a tough job for you,
Kahoko.
Oh I see
Long working hours and the blood,
I don't even think I could do it.
You really are something, Atsushi.
Oh, my back is hurting, could I
get more of those heat pads?
Okay, I'll get them for you.
So you went to look
at different jobs.
Good for you, Kahoko!
Here Some pocket money.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Thank you, here let me
Grandpa, you used
to run a bookshop, right? How come?
It's because he loves books.
In his youth, he wanted to
become a novelist.
Oh I see.
Then why did you quit?
The bookshop used
to make a good business.
He kept putting off writing.
And now he's aged.
What job do you think
would suit me, Grandma?
I'm not sure about that, but
you shouldn't be a housewife.
It's really hard work.
Am I right, Izumi?
Um Yes.
As I said, the queen
is as quiet as a mouse again.
Grandpa doesn't understand
how hard I have to work.
Auntie Kyoko is bumming around
and hasn't found work yet.
When she was your age she had good
grades and worked at a good company.
Oh really.
- So Kahoko is here.
- Hello.
What are you guys talking about?
Nothing special.
Auntie Kyoko, why did you quit
the company you used to work for?
Wow, that's rather
a straight forward question.
Mum, what did you say to Kahoko?
Nothing much.
I bet she said I'm just
being a burden to them, right?
Let me get it straight.
It's not true.
I'm just preparing
for what I want to do.
Oh, the computer classes
that you told us about?
Yes. Hey Dad
Have you sort it out yet?
To lease me the second floor
of this place.
Oh that? Tomorrow.
That answer again?
Come on, Dad!
How can I be like Auntie Kyoko and
find something I want to do?
You should take a while
to think about that.
It's not unusual to be a jobless
university graduate.
I'm not as fortunate as you, Kahoko.
Right, sister?
- Well not really.
- Huh?
You should get as many licenses
as you can.
It's not like you'd be all set
even if you enter a good company.
I should have chosen my job
more carefully when I was your age.
Right, Mum?
Hmm Yeah, well yes.
This is my family, but I'm glad
I wasn't here.
A sloth, a koala, a salmon,
a meerkat, and a frog with a tail.
Is there a future for this family?
Definitely be an artist, Mugino!
You can be greater than Picasso!
The one I saw before was terrible.
If people see this,
they'd be happy.
They will feel happy, just like
how I'm feeling now.
You are about to do a great job
in your life, right?
No matter what, don't give up!
What's so good about this drawing?
What are you doing over there?
Oh.
I never got to thank you
for last time.
I fell asleep and didn't remember
what happened.
Thanks for taking me home.
No, no. It was no trouble at all.
Are you painting something new?
Yes. I'm thinking of entering
a competition and winning.
Go for it.
I think you can totally
be better than Picasso.
Did Picasso paint this one too?
No, that's "The Scream"
by Edvard Munch.
Oh I've heard of this one.
He's screaming from fear.
Well, most people take it that way
but it's the opposite.
He covered his ears because
he heard a terrible scream.
I see.
Why did you want
to become an artist?
That's because
I've always liked painting.
I've been told
I could be the greatest artist
in the world.
- Huh? By whom?
- Er? What?
It doesn't matter.
Why do you ask that?
Why?
I want to be like you
to find a job
that makes people happy.
I went to the workplaces of my
father and my uncle.
But I didn't get it at all.
It's not that simple.
And I was told by Auntie Kyoko
to get some licenses.
People with such ideas keep
vocational schools in business.
You should get a license
when you know
what you want to do.
It's a means to an end.
Did you get lost halfway through
what I was saying?
No I got it.
I guess I've been too naive.
Don't beat yourself up.
Hey, isn't there something
that only you can do?
Really? What do you think
I should do?
You need to come up with it.
Don't make that abandoned
puppy face.
Oh, I'm sorry.
And don't force a smile,
it's disgusting.
OK, OK. I'm sorry.
How about this?
Why don't you read
"Job Searching For 13 Year-Olds"?
"Job Searching For 13 Year-Olds"?
There's a lot there that even people
like you can understand.
Read it through and then think
about it. How about that?
Okay!
Hey, are you alright?
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Bookshop, bookshop
Bookshop, bookshop,
bookshop, bookshop
I'm home.
Dad, do you need dinner tomorrow?
- No, I'm good.
- Okay.
Kahoko, what are you up to?
She's been reading non-stop.
She's never even bought a book
herself before.
Mum! How about
being a flight attendant?
Well you do have a good smile.
But you're poor at English,
aren't you?
Yes
She's been like this, asking me
How about a nursery teacher?
Or working at a cake shop?
Over and over.
Oh daughter, what is going
on in your mind right now?
"Pâtissière"
"Nursery Teacher"
"Teacher"
"Astronaut"
"Builder"
"Monk"
"Flower Arrangement Artist"
Mum! How about flower arrangement?
Oh, flowers are pretty
and nice to look at.
But aren't you allergic to pollen?
Oh, that's right.
Kahoko, are you alright?
I told you to eat something first.
You get like this
when you are hungry.
Come on, hurry and eat.
Then take a bath. Okay?
Kahoko.
You won't be able to look
for a job properly like this.
I think it's better if you consider
being a housewife.
But Grandma said it's too much work.
- What? Grandma said that?
- Well
That's because their family has
problems. Not like our family.
It's normal to have a happy family.
Right, Dad?
Oh yes.
What should I say
in this situation?
I'll teach you how to cook!
But
Let's do that.
What is it now?
Dad, you take the call.
- Why me?
- It's an unknown caller.
- Does that matter?
- What are you doing?
What if it's a scammer?
Having a head of a household
is for times like these.
Right?
Right, right.
Lion, the king of beasts
protects his family
no matter what or when.
Here, eat.
Hello. This is Nemoto.
Brother? It's Setsu.
Is Izumi there?
Hold on. It's Setsu.
Where are you calling from?
I was worried it was
an unknown caller.
Oh really? I'm sorry.
I'm calling from the shop.
So that's how you're cutting
your telephone bill?
Don't say it like that.
We need to save money in case
Ito studies abroad.
I don't want to waste even a penny.
I want to be able
to fulfil her dream
of becoming a professional cellist.
I'd do anything for that
as her mother.
And? So why are you calling?
Oh, I told you Ito has a competition
this Sunday, right?
Dad, Mum,
Tamaki and Mamoru are all coming.
What about you, Izumi?
- You'll make it, right?
- Um. Yes.
But Kahoko is busy now
with job hunting.
If I can't make it then I'm sorry.
Okay. 2pm.
Ok. I got it.
- Bye.
- Kahoko, don't fall asleep.
If you don't take a bath first
Mum will be angry.
Kahoko.
Ito, are you okay?
Does it hurt?
No, it's nothing.
Well
- I should call and let Setsu know.
- There's no need for that!
This is like an occupational
hazard for cellists.
- But
- I'm okay. Really.
Can you not tell anyone?
I don't want to worry Mum.
Okay.
Thank you.
What's up, today?
Well, there's something
I've never asked you.
Ask what?
Why made you start the cello?
I liked music since I was small.
I heard a performance
at my elementary graduation.
I was deeply touched.
At that moment, I knew I found
what I wanted to do.
Wow, it's sounds like a perfect
match.
Since then I've always
liked the cello.
Even if there was no one left
in this world
I'd be happy if I had my cello.
Wow, I want to have
that kind of experience too.
I'm sure you will.
Do you think so?
Good luck.
I'm rooting for you.
Thanks!
"48th Japan Cello Competition"
"48th Japan Cello Competition"
Relax, Ito.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Thank you, Grandma.
Ito, congratulations on winning!
Not so fast, Dad!
She's baffled.
It's fine.
Thanks, Grandpa.
You are really a good kid.
Let's take a picture, everyone.
Dad, stop it already.
It's right before her competition.
It's a rare opportunity!
Okay then. Fine!
Stop pouting.
When everyone is together,
it feels like an animal orchestra.
Ito!
You look beautiful!
The dress really looks good on you.
I'm sure you'll get great results.
Thank you, Auntie Tamaki.
Your aunt has been worried
since yesterday.
Saying "Ito will be fine.
She'll win, right?"
Hey, hold on.
You also put your hands together
to pray more than once.
Praying for Ito to win
the competition.
Come on, stop embarrassing me.
No need to get handsy here.
What are those two doing there
not saying a word?
Why don't you say something to her?
Ito! Good luck!
Rrrelax
You're more nervous than her.
I'm sorry.
Brother! Brother!
We'll get her an insurance
when she goes to Vienna.
Can you help us out?
Of course. My pleasure.
Ito, have confidence.
We all love your music
and will be cheering for you.
Thank you, Uncle Masataka.
It's about time. Let's go inside.
Yes, let's do that.
See you, Ito. Break a leg!
Go get 'em!
Hey Dad!
Do your best, Ito!
Ito.
- Are you alright?
- Like I said. No need to worry.
Okay. Good luck in there.
Thanks.
Who was that?
My cousin, Ito.
I didn't know you had such a
distinct and intelligent relative.
And she even plays cello.
So different from you.
Why are you here, Mugino?
Can't you see? I'm working
as a venue steward here.
I see. Good for you.
What's with you and your strange
movements?
Are you feeling ill?
Actually
Hey, you there!
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'll see you later.
Introduce me next time.
- She's so my type.
- Ohokay.
Why don't you quit?
It's not like you'll get anywhere.
- What?
- I just spoke to the staff here.
It seems it's decided that
she is going to win.
- But why?
- She takes lessons from the judge.
No matter how well we perform
they'll find a way to drop us.
Go Ito!
Hey, Kahoko.
If you need to use the restroom
then go.
- No, I'm okay.
- Really?
She's good!
Ito!
What's the matter, Kahoko?
I told you to go use the restroom.
How is Ito?
Well
It seems she has
some neurological disorder.
But it can be treated, right?
Well that
The cause of her condition
is not known.
Not sure if she can fully recover.
What do you mean by that?
It won't affect her daily life.
But she probably
can't keep playing the cello.
What?
How did this happen?
She's been in pain for a while now.
It seems she's kept it a secret.
It's my fault.
I should've noticed earlier.
Oh, poor girl.
Hold on. Everyone!
It's no time to be depressed.
We should unite as a group
in a time like this.
Shouldn't it be
"unite as a family"?
Setsu, you have to be the strongest
since you're her mother.
I know, but..
Atsushi, how's Ito doing now?
She took some medicine and
is resting now.
We'll do a full check-up tomorrow.
She'll have to stay
in the hospital for now.
Atsushi, I know this must be hard.
But she really
needs your support now.
She'll feel safe just
by having her dad next to her.
Thank you, sister.
Tamaki, you should go home too.
You look tired and unwell.
I'm okay, Izumi.
You say that, but
what if your asthma acts up again?
You can visit her tomorrow.
- Mamoru, please take care of her.
- Okay I will.
Izumi.
What should I do?
I'm sure Ito's feeling down
right now.
So your job is to cheer her up.
- Okay?
- Oh, that's right.
I'll do that.
But Izumi
Shouldn't we leave her alone
for a while?
She must be in shock
and not want to see anyone.
What are you talking about?
When family is in trouble,
just let them be?
That's not what I meant.
Then why don't you
make her a nice lunch.
Put in lots of things
that she likes.
Okay, I'll do that.
I know it's the hardest
for both of you.
My husband and I
will do anything to help you.
Right, Dad?
Uhyes. Anything you need.
Thank you so much, brother.
Come on, don't cry.
Well, that's that.
Let's all come back tomorrow to
visit.
Let's call it a day.
Yes, let's do that.
Kahoko, let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Oh, I have an idea.
To be sure, there must be better
doctors out there.
Can you do some research?
What's that again?
Secondsomething
Second opinion?
I need to tell Setsu
as soon as possible.
Please do that for me.
Yes, I thought of something good.
That's a good idea.
But aren't you too enthusiastic?
Mr. Daruma fell down.
- Mr. Daruma fell down.
- Gotcha!
Kahoko, wait for me!
Go, go!
Go, Ito, go!
I'm over here.
I'm done.
Go, Ito, go!
- Hey mom?
- Ah, hey!
Hold on a sec!
Dry yourself before coming out!
You're all wet.
Oh sorry.
Kahoko.
Dad's done so it's your turn
for a bath.
Oh.
Kahoko, what are you watching?
Oh, your seventh birthday party.
You guys got along so well
you were like sisters.
Elephants have long trunk
What's the matter, Kahoko?
Is it because of Ito?
Mum?
Mm? I talked to you first!
I
- I knew.
- About what?
That Ito's wrist was hurting.
What?
Before the competition
I accidentally saw it
when I went to see her.
But she told me not to tell anyone.
Is that so?
What should I do?
Well
Let's keep it our secret.
What?
Wait, I'm here too!
You can't change what's
already happened.
Furthermore
even if you told the truth now
do you think Ito would have
not competed?
I certainly don't think so.
Right? That's why
you can't tell anyone.
You can't do anything about it.
Do you think that's best?
Shouldn't you think a little more
about what's best for Kahoko?
If this keeps going on,
there could be some
awkwardness between them.
And besides,
you are the world's best mother.
What do you
think we should do?
What?
Umwellthat
Man I have no confidence
to say something good.
If you understand
then hurry up and eat
then take a bath.
It's times like these
when I really feel it
being isolated.
And so?
Not to make excuses for her
but you want to do something
for Ito, right?
Yes, but
I don't know what to do.
Why don't you search online?
I did.
"Three ways to sympathize
with suffering people" or
"Ways to deal with despair"
and so on.
What did it say?
It said to go on a trip.
Or to do something
that you thought was fun.
Something along those lines.
What you really want
to know about life
you can't find on the internet.
- I'm sure that's it
- Hey.
- What do you think I should do?
- I don't know!
And you know what?
I said something nice now.
Oh oh!
I know, I know!
You should tell Ito something!
As a fellow artist, you know.
You understand each other better.
Give me a break!
Unlike belittling people
I'm no good at comforting others.
Don't say stuff like that.
Please, I beg you.
Hey I told you not to make that
puppy face!
You're too close.
Too close!
"Jonai Medical Centre"
Alright! Don't push me!
Oh sorry!
Hey, that was close!
You could've hit someone.
Come on, stop pushing!
I'll go, I'll go!
Wow, that's great!
Wow!
That's wonderful!
Make sure you eat a lot, okay?
Mamoru, that uniform
it's as if Ito did something bad.
My bad. I'm on a break right now.
Next time, I'll come after work.
Thank you so much.
Well, I feel relieved.
You look better than I had expected.
Sorry for making you worry.
Everyone.
- I guess it's about time we
- Already?
Can't we stay a little longer?
Let's go.
We'll come again tomorrow.
If you want anything, just tell us.
We'll get it for you.
Thank you.
- We'll bring you goodies.
- I'll see them out.
Call me any time if you need
anything.
Okay, I got it.
See you.
Bye.
What did you mean?
We'll buy anything?
It's alright. It's alright.
Hey hey hey.
Why are we hiding?
I'm afraid to see her.
Huh?
Is she just putting on a show
when she is with everyone?
Mugino, why don't you
say something to her?
What?
- No, I'm good.
- Why?
If I knew I'll never
be able to draw again
I'd be even more frustrated
if someone tried to comfort me.
Until she feels she needs us
we should let her be.
You should too.
"Life is an adventure"
"Don't give up your dreams"
Hey, what do you think of this?
Um, no this one won't do.
What are you doing?
There's a page with famous quotes.
I'm looking to see
if any of them can cheer Ito up.
But nothing sticks out.
I told you.
Stop doing that!
I want to do something to help Ito.
Then why don't you bake a cake
or buy something she likes?
But
I've never baked a cake before.
Have your Mum teach you.
Then she'll just make it
all by herself.
Alright then.
What can you make on your own?
Isn't there something?
Nothing.
- Nothing, right?
- I know!
1,000 paper cranes.
To wish her a speedy recovery.
How did I not think of this before?
That should cheer her up.
Not a bad idea.
But how long do you think
that'll take?
To make 1,000 paper cranes.
No no no no.
I'm not helping you!
I need to paint, and I have my work.
Stop giving me that look!
Alright! Alright!
I'll fold one for 100 yen.
- What?
- That's 100 yen per crane, so
500 cranes means 50,000 yen.
Then I can help you
and take a break
from my part-time job.
Right?
You don't want that.
Mugino!
Woah.
Watch out!
Here.
Take a look.
You're kidding me.
Let's make them together.
Wait.
I don't mind but
What's with this money?
Oh this?
I withdrew my savings.
You saved that much?
I've been getting pocket money
from Grandpa
and I haven't spent any.
Don't you have clothes and things
you want to buy?
Dad buys most things for me anyway.
Here you go.
I see.
And there.
This paper is so small.
Hey.
You didn't get any sleep last night.
- Did you?
- Not really.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Hey, watch it!
Wait, hold on.
Wake up!
- Oh.
- Wake up!
Okay.
Okay. Here.
- I'm going. See you.
- Wait, what?
Are you not coming with me?
Well you see
By making those cranes
I'm behind on a lot of work.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry. Thanks.
Hey!
Just give this to her
and do not say much. Okay?
Okay?
Maybe she doesn't want
to see anyone right now.
Yeah, that's true.
Okay.
See you then.
Hi Ito.
Hi Kahoko.
- You came to see me.
- Yes.
Oh.
These are for you.
Thank you.
Can you just put them over there?
Okay.
Bye.
You're leaving already?
Umyeah.
Get well soon.
Don't stress yourself too much.
I was the one who told you
not to tell anyone.
My hand would've been injured
with or without you.
But
It's funny to think I'll never be
able to play the cello again.
What else can I do?
I've actually been doing
some research.
Um
There are instruments you can play
with one hand!
Here, like this.
There are people who play the piano
with one hand.
And if you don't want to do that
you could sing.
A famous person once said
"Human voice is the most
perfect instrument of all".
And also
I found quotes to cheer you up.
I like this one.
A quote by Jackie Robinson.
"The difference between the
impossible and the possible
lies in a person's determination."
So don't give up, Ito.
Grandpa, Grandma, Tamaki,
and Uncle Mamoru.
My Mum and Dad, too.
All of us
we are all looking forward
to hear you play again someday.
You're going to be fine.
You're really smart
mature and strong.
I'm sure a miracle will happen!
I'm cheering for you.
Don't give up on your music.
Auntie Setsu works day and night
to save money for you.
- And Uncle Atsushi, he
- Stop saying those things.
- Huh?
- I know.
I'm trying to pretend
everything is okay.
Why are you talking to me like this?
Are you stupid?
What's wrong, Ito?
You tell me!
This is the real me!
I'm telling you just this once.
I hate all of my relatives.
On birthdays, graduations,
Golden Week and Obon holidays
everyone gathers. It makes me sick!
I went along to get pocket money
but why do I have to play cello
for people like you?
And out of them all,
I hated you the most!
Not really good at anything
but people adore you.
They buy everything for you!
You're like a goldfish swimming
in your nice aquarium.
How can you know
how hard it was for me?
You have no idea what that's like!
And you bring me stuff like this
to comfort me?
Is this supposed to make me
feel better?
Leave!
Kahoko!
I finally found you!
What happened?
I've been waiting for you
at the station.
You didn't even call.
Mum, listen.
- What happened?
- It's Ito. She
What happened to Ito?
I just went to see her.
Butbut
She was a lot better than I thought.
So don't worry.
In this field, Japan ranks
in the top five.
Oh, is that so?
Welcome home.
Welcome home, Kahoko.
Auntie Setsu. What happened?
Your dad is going to introduce
a good doctor for Ito.
I've come to hear him out.
- Oh I see.
- Setsu.
Today
she went to see Ito.
Oh really?
How was she?
Did she say something?
Huh?
Not much.
She's just as always.
I see.
Please go see her from time to time.
Okay, I will.
I'm going to get changed.
- Kahoko.
- Yes?
Are you alright?
Are you feeling ill?
No, I'm fine.
I hate everyone!
What's the matter?
Oh, nothing really.
I happened
to be nearby for work.
I was wondering
how it went with Ito.
Shshrine.
- Shrine?
- Shrine.
She's here
She's here. Slowslow down!
Watch out!
Are you okay?
Running like that?
Won't your Mum get upset again?
That
- That's not important.
- You're not good for anything.
Ah
- Ah
- What? What?
What's the matter?
I hate you the most!
Who are you to comfort me?
You're acting like Munch's painting.
I
What? What?
This has never happened before.
OhIto must have said
some mean things to you.
- Yes.
- I see.
Listen. When someone's dream
falls through, it's the worst
to have someone naive
comfort them.
It ticks them off even more.
But a nice girl like Ito.
How can she say that?
Don't be so surprised.
Everyone has a good and dark side.
- No way.
- No, I'm serious.
What's more
is that it's unusual to not have
ever seen someone's dark side.
Now you know how much
you've been protected growing up.
But
I don't know what to do.
Her voices keep ringing in my head.
Even now they won't stop.
Until now
I talk to Mum whenever
I have troubles at school.
If I tell her about this
she'll definitely have a fight
with Auntie Setsu.
- Sobut-
- Okay, okay.
Alright.
If so
for now just cry and let it out.
I'm telling you.
What you did was pretty stupid.
But
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's not wrong to keep
what Ito said
from your Mum.
That just shows you are kind.
That's your love.
So, stop beating yourself up.
You're probably shocked and
hurt right now.
Just cry and forget about it.
Okay? Come on.
Just let it out.
Cry on my chest.
Wait! I was just kidding!
I was just kidding!
Hey.
Go cry at home.
Hey, now.
You're embarrassing me!
Hey.
Hey.
Can you cry a little more softly?
Can you?
Yes, that's it.
Wait, don't throw up!
Don't throw up. What should I do?
Okay, whatever.
Do whatever you want.
If you have something
you can't tell your Mum
you can tell me.
Okay?
What's that face?
Mugino, you're
- You can be nice too.
- What?
Is this the good and bad side
you were talking about?
Well, you could call it that.
Oh, I get it now!
Wow, you're still crying?
This is bad.
Oof.
Give me a break.
Fall asleep after crying?
Hey, wake up.
We're home.
I don't want to get scolded
by your Mum.
Alright. I'm going to ring the
doorbell and run off like last time.
Let me find the key.
Oh my god
You can say anything you want
about me.
But will you stop talking trash
about Mugino?
It's not true!
It's the total opposite!
I'm going to see Mugino.
I want to see him.
Be quiet!
Shut up!
Just stop bugging me!
There is a princess who lives
in this small kingdom.
This is her story.
She's been carefully brought up
in this little castle.
Wake up, Kahoko!
Come on, wake up!
Since her childhood,
she has depended on the queen.
Hey come on, wake up!
- Wake up!
- By herself
she couldn't decide anything.
- Good morning.
- Hey Mum.
Which one do you think is better?
Umm Let me see
This is the morning ritual
since she was a child.
Maybe this one?
That's what I thought.
Dad.
I told you to use a coaster
because it'll leave a mark.
Sorry.
The queen turns into a meerkat
if someone is hurting the castle.
Let's eat.
Hot!
I've always told you to be careful
because it's hot.
- Eat your salad too.
- Okay.
- Which dressing? This one.
- Yes, that's good.
Near the queen, the princess looks
like a frog that still has a tail.
Yum! Mum's omelette
is always the best!
The tail seems to have gotten
shorterbut I could be wrong.
I've finally found the reason
why I should work.
I want to work
to make people happy.
I want to find a job where
I can make lots of people happy.
I don't know what that is yet.
- Hey, Kahoko.
- Yes?
You said you want to do a job
to make people happy yesterday.
Why is that?
Oh, I felt really happy
as I saw Mugino's drawing.
So I wanted to do something similar.
Well, then why don't you get
married and become a housewife?
Making a family happy
is a great job too.
Don't you think so?
I'm sure you think so.
But Mugino said that's not okay.
What? I don't understand.
Well
Do you really want to become
independent?
Junior high school to high school,
and to university, and then?
If you can't get a job,
you wait until you get married?
I think you just want to stay
as the child.
Live in the castle all your life
Afraid of going out into society.
Am I right?
Of course not! How rude of him!
Maybe he's running a scam or
religious cult?
I have had a bad feeling about him.
Didn't you say earlier
that he was a good kid?
And what's more, Kahoko
How do you find a job
that makes people happy?
It's easy to say.
But it won't be so easy to find.
Yes, but I'm sure there's something.
Something only Kahoko can do.
Hey Dad, can I take a tour of
your company?
I don't know a lot about your job.
Well I don't mind.
And I want to see how Uncle Mamoru
and Uncle Atsushi work.
Mum, can I?
Dear wife, please allow her.
Our daughter is about to grow up.
- Okay.
- Really?
I'll ask Mamoru and Atsushi later.
We can go there together.
Ohokay. Thank you.
Hey, are you going too?
Here it is.
"Episode 2"
Manager, could I show my daughter
around the office?
Oh sure, of course!
It's rare nowadays for a daughter
to visit her father's workplace.
Thank you so much.
She really is adorable as I heard.
Ma'am, I'm sorry that I couldn't
secure an offer for her.
I wish I could have helped.
NoThank you.
Huh? What?
She means we're sorry for putting
you through the trouble.
Out of her kingdom,
the queen is "quiet as a mouse".
or rather "quiet as a meerkat".
Well This way please.
Speaking of insurance, these days
there are more than
life or fire insurance.
There are many other kinds.
For example, earthquake insurance,
travel insurance
Pets, children, bicycle, golf,
teeth, anxiety insurance
And so on
I see
She doesn't seem to care.
Don't you have any questions?
Why did you start working here?
Because it's the best
in the industry?
Well There was that too
There must be better answers
but I can't find the words.
Why do you have the face
as if you didn't care?
Well, more than making people happy,
my job is to protect people.
And I see a lot of people's
dark sides.
This job may be not for you, Kahoko.
I see.
Excuse me, is there a post office
around here?
Um the post office
If you want to go to the
post office
Turn left at the next traffic light.
It's on your right.
Having returned to her kingdom,
the queen is back in her game.
Be careful about the dog
at the house on the corner.
Okay, thank you.
When a recovered patient
says thank you
it makes me feel really happy.
But it is really sad
if they don't get better.
This might be a tough job for you,
Kahoko.
Oh I see
Long working hours and the blood,
I don't even think I could do it.
You really are something, Atsushi.
Oh, my back is hurting, could I
get more of those heat pads?
Okay, I'll get them for you.
So you went to look
at different jobs.
Good for you, Kahoko!
Here Some pocket money.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Thank you, here let me
Grandpa, you used
to run a bookshop, right? How come?
It's because he loves books.
In his youth, he wanted to
become a novelist.
Oh I see.
Then why did you quit?
The bookshop used
to make a good business.
He kept putting off writing.
And now he's aged.
What job do you think
would suit me, Grandma?
I'm not sure about that, but
you shouldn't be a housewife.
It's really hard work.
Am I right, Izumi?
Um Yes.
As I said, the queen
is as quiet as a mouse again.
Grandpa doesn't understand
how hard I have to work.
Auntie Kyoko is bumming around
and hasn't found work yet.
When she was your age she had good
grades and worked at a good company.
Oh really.
- So Kahoko is here.
- Hello.
What are you guys talking about?
Nothing special.
Auntie Kyoko, why did you quit
the company you used to work for?
Wow, that's rather
a straight forward question.
Mum, what did you say to Kahoko?
Nothing much.
I bet she said I'm just
being a burden to them, right?
Let me get it straight.
It's not true.
I'm just preparing
for what I want to do.
Oh, the computer classes
that you told us about?
Yes. Hey Dad
Have you sort it out yet?
To lease me the second floor
of this place.
Oh that? Tomorrow.
That answer again?
Come on, Dad!
How can I be like Auntie Kyoko and
find something I want to do?
You should take a while
to think about that.
It's not unusual to be a jobless
university graduate.
I'm not as fortunate as you, Kahoko.
Right, sister?
- Well not really.
- Huh?
You should get as many licenses
as you can.
It's not like you'd be all set
even if you enter a good company.
I should have chosen my job
more carefully when I was your age.
Right, Mum?
Hmm Yeah, well yes.
This is my family, but I'm glad
I wasn't here.
A sloth, a koala, a salmon,
a meerkat, and a frog with a tail.
Is there a future for this family?
Definitely be an artist, Mugino!
You can be greater than Picasso!
The one I saw before was terrible.
If people see this,
they'd be happy.
They will feel happy, just like
how I'm feeling now.
You are about to do a great job
in your life, right?
No matter what, don't give up!
What's so good about this drawing?
What are you doing over there?
Oh.
I never got to thank you
for last time.
I fell asleep and didn't remember
what happened.
Thanks for taking me home.
No, no. It was no trouble at all.
Are you painting something new?
Yes. I'm thinking of entering
a competition and winning.
Go for it.
I think you can totally
be better than Picasso.
Did Picasso paint this one too?
No, that's "The Scream"
by Edvard Munch.
Oh I've heard of this one.
He's screaming from fear.
Well, most people take it that way
but it's the opposite.
He covered his ears because
he heard a terrible scream.
I see.
Why did you want
to become an artist?
That's because
I've always liked painting.
I've been told
I could be the greatest artist
in the world.
- Huh? By whom?
- Er? What?
It doesn't matter.
Why do you ask that?
Why?
I want to be like you
to find a job
that makes people happy.
I went to the workplaces of my
father and my uncle.
But I didn't get it at all.
It's not that simple.
And I was told by Auntie Kyoko
to get some licenses.
People with such ideas keep
vocational schools in business.
You should get a license
when you know
what you want to do.
It's a means to an end.
Did you get lost halfway through
what I was saying?
No I got it.
I guess I've been too naive.
Don't beat yourself up.
Hey, isn't there something
that only you can do?
Really? What do you think
I should do?
You need to come up with it.
Don't make that abandoned
puppy face.
Oh, I'm sorry.
And don't force a smile,
it's disgusting.
OK, OK. I'm sorry.
How about this?
Why don't you read
"Job Searching For 13 Year-Olds"?
"Job Searching For 13 Year-Olds"?
There's a lot there that even people
like you can understand.
Read it through and then think
about it. How about that?
Okay!
Hey, are you alright?
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Bookshop, bookshop
Bookshop, bookshop,
bookshop, bookshop
I'm home.
Dad, do you need dinner tomorrow?
- No, I'm good.
- Okay.
Kahoko, what are you up to?
She's been reading non-stop.
She's never even bought a book
herself before.
Mum! How about
being a flight attendant?
Well you do have a good smile.
But you're poor at English,
aren't you?
Yes
She's been like this, asking me
How about a nursery teacher?
Or working at a cake shop?
Over and over.
Oh daughter, what is going
on in your mind right now?
"Pâtissière"
"Nursery Teacher"
"Teacher"
"Astronaut"
"Builder"
"Monk"
"Flower Arrangement Artist"
Mum! How about flower arrangement?
Oh, flowers are pretty
and nice to look at.
But aren't you allergic to pollen?
Oh, that's right.
Kahoko, are you alright?
I told you to eat something first.
You get like this
when you are hungry.
Come on, hurry and eat.
Then take a bath. Okay?
Kahoko.
You won't be able to look
for a job properly like this.
I think it's better if you consider
being a housewife.
But Grandma said it's too much work.
- What? Grandma said that?
- Well
That's because their family has
problems. Not like our family.
It's normal to have a happy family.
Right, Dad?
Oh yes.
What should I say
in this situation?
I'll teach you how to cook!
But
Let's do that.
What is it now?
Dad, you take the call.
- Why me?
- It's an unknown caller.
- Does that matter?
- What are you doing?
What if it's a scammer?
Having a head of a household
is for times like these.
Right?
Right, right.
Lion, the king of beasts
protects his family
no matter what or when.
Here, eat.
Hello. This is Nemoto.
Brother? It's Setsu.
Is Izumi there?
Hold on. It's Setsu.
Where are you calling from?
I was worried it was
an unknown caller.
Oh really? I'm sorry.
I'm calling from the shop.
So that's how you're cutting
your telephone bill?
Don't say it like that.
We need to save money in case
Ito studies abroad.
I don't want to waste even a penny.
I want to be able
to fulfil her dream
of becoming a professional cellist.
I'd do anything for that
as her mother.
And? So why are you calling?
Oh, I told you Ito has a competition
this Sunday, right?
Dad, Mum,
Tamaki and Mamoru are all coming.
What about you, Izumi?
- You'll make it, right?
- Um. Yes.
But Kahoko is busy now
with job hunting.
If I can't make it then I'm sorry.
Okay. 2pm.
Ok. I got it.
- Bye.
- Kahoko, don't fall asleep.
If you don't take a bath first
Mum will be angry.
Kahoko.
Ito, are you okay?
Does it hurt?
No, it's nothing.
Well
- I should call and let Setsu know.
- There's no need for that!
This is like an occupational
hazard for cellists.
- But
- I'm okay. Really.
Can you not tell anyone?
I don't want to worry Mum.
Okay.
Thank you.
What's up, today?
Well, there's something
I've never asked you.
Ask what?
Why made you start the cello?
I liked music since I was small.
I heard a performance
at my elementary graduation.
I was deeply touched.
At that moment, I knew I found
what I wanted to do.
Wow, it's sounds like a perfect
match.
Since then I've always
liked the cello.
Even if there was no one left
in this world
I'd be happy if I had my cello.
Wow, I want to have
that kind of experience too.
I'm sure you will.
Do you think so?
Good luck.
I'm rooting for you.
Thanks!
"48th Japan Cello Competition"
"48th Japan Cello Competition"
Relax, Ito.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Thank you, Grandma.
Ito, congratulations on winning!
Not so fast, Dad!
She's baffled.
It's fine.
Thanks, Grandpa.
You are really a good kid.
Let's take a picture, everyone.
Dad, stop it already.
It's right before her competition.
It's a rare opportunity!
Okay then. Fine!
Stop pouting.
When everyone is together,
it feels like an animal orchestra.
Ito!
You look beautiful!
The dress really looks good on you.
I'm sure you'll get great results.
Thank you, Auntie Tamaki.
Your aunt has been worried
since yesterday.
Saying "Ito will be fine.
She'll win, right?"
Hey, hold on.
You also put your hands together
to pray more than once.
Praying for Ito to win
the competition.
Come on, stop embarrassing me.
No need to get handsy here.
What are those two doing there
not saying a word?
Why don't you say something to her?
Ito! Good luck!
Rrrelax
You're more nervous than her.
I'm sorry.
Brother! Brother!
We'll get her an insurance
when she goes to Vienna.
Can you help us out?
Of course. My pleasure.
Ito, have confidence.
We all love your music
and will be cheering for you.
Thank you, Uncle Masataka.
It's about time. Let's go inside.
Yes, let's do that.
See you, Ito. Break a leg!
Go get 'em!
Hey Dad!
Do your best, Ito!
Ito.
- Are you alright?
- Like I said. No need to worry.
Okay. Good luck in there.
Thanks.
Who was that?
My cousin, Ito.
I didn't know you had such a
distinct and intelligent relative.
And she even plays cello.
So different from you.
Why are you here, Mugino?
Can't you see? I'm working
as a venue steward here.
I see. Good for you.
What's with you and your strange
movements?
Are you feeling ill?
Actually
Hey, you there!
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'll see you later.
Introduce me next time.
- She's so my type.
- Ohokay.
Why don't you quit?
It's not like you'll get anywhere.
- What?
- I just spoke to the staff here.
It seems it's decided that
she is going to win.
- But why?
- She takes lessons from the judge.
No matter how well we perform
they'll find a way to drop us.
Go Ito!
Hey, Kahoko.
If you need to use the restroom
then go.
- No, I'm okay.
- Really?
She's good!
Ito!
What's the matter, Kahoko?
I told you to go use the restroom.
How is Ito?
Well
It seems she has
some neurological disorder.
But it can be treated, right?
Well that
The cause of her condition
is not known.
Not sure if she can fully recover.
What do you mean by that?
It won't affect her daily life.
But she probably
can't keep playing the cello.
What?
How did this happen?
She's been in pain for a while now.
It seems she's kept it a secret.
It's my fault.
I should've noticed earlier.
Oh, poor girl.
Hold on. Everyone!
It's no time to be depressed.
We should unite as a group
in a time like this.
Shouldn't it be
"unite as a family"?
Setsu, you have to be the strongest
since you're her mother.
I know, but..
Atsushi, how's Ito doing now?
She took some medicine and
is resting now.
We'll do a full check-up tomorrow.
She'll have to stay
in the hospital for now.
Atsushi, I know this must be hard.
But she really
needs your support now.
She'll feel safe just
by having her dad next to her.
Thank you, sister.
Tamaki, you should go home too.
You look tired and unwell.
I'm okay, Izumi.
You say that, but
what if your asthma acts up again?
You can visit her tomorrow.
- Mamoru, please take care of her.
- Okay I will.
Izumi.
What should I do?
I'm sure Ito's feeling down
right now.
So your job is to cheer her up.
- Okay?
- Oh, that's right.
I'll do that.
But Izumi
Shouldn't we leave her alone
for a while?
She must be in shock
and not want to see anyone.
What are you talking about?
When family is in trouble,
just let them be?
That's not what I meant.
Then why don't you
make her a nice lunch.
Put in lots of things
that she likes.
Okay, I'll do that.
I know it's the hardest
for both of you.
My husband and I
will do anything to help you.
Right, Dad?
Uhyes. Anything you need.
Thank you so much, brother.
Come on, don't cry.
Well, that's that.
Let's all come back tomorrow to
visit.
Let's call it a day.
Yes, let's do that.
Kahoko, let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Oh, I have an idea.
To be sure, there must be better
doctors out there.
Can you do some research?
What's that again?
Secondsomething
Second opinion?
I need to tell Setsu
as soon as possible.
Please do that for me.
Yes, I thought of something good.
That's a good idea.
But aren't you too enthusiastic?
Mr. Daruma fell down.
- Mr. Daruma fell down.
- Gotcha!
Kahoko, wait for me!
Go, go!
Go, Ito, go!
I'm over here.
I'm done.
Go, Ito, go!
- Hey mom?
- Ah, hey!
Hold on a sec!
Dry yourself before coming out!
You're all wet.
Oh sorry.
Kahoko.
Dad's done so it's your turn
for a bath.
Oh.
Kahoko, what are you watching?
Oh, your seventh birthday party.
You guys got along so well
you were like sisters.
Elephants have long trunk
What's the matter, Kahoko?
Is it because of Ito?
Mum?
Mm? I talked to you first!
I
- I knew.
- About what?
That Ito's wrist was hurting.
What?
Before the competition
I accidentally saw it
when I went to see her.
But she told me not to tell anyone.
Is that so?
What should I do?
Well
Let's keep it our secret.
What?
Wait, I'm here too!
You can't change what's
already happened.
Furthermore
even if you told the truth now
do you think Ito would have
not competed?
I certainly don't think so.
Right? That's why
you can't tell anyone.
You can't do anything about it.
Do you think that's best?
Shouldn't you think a little more
about what's best for Kahoko?
If this keeps going on,
there could be some
awkwardness between them.
And besides,
you are the world's best mother.
What do you
think we should do?
What?
Umwellthat
Man I have no confidence
to say something good.
If you understand
then hurry up and eat
then take a bath.
It's times like these
when I really feel it
being isolated.
And so?
Not to make excuses for her
but you want to do something
for Ito, right?
Yes, but
I don't know what to do.
Why don't you search online?
I did.
"Three ways to sympathize
with suffering people" or
"Ways to deal with despair"
and so on.
What did it say?
It said to go on a trip.
Or to do something
that you thought was fun.
Something along those lines.
What you really want
to know about life
you can't find on the internet.
- I'm sure that's it
- Hey.
- What do you think I should do?
- I don't know!
And you know what?
I said something nice now.
Oh oh!
I know, I know!
You should tell Ito something!
As a fellow artist, you know.
You understand each other better.
Give me a break!
Unlike belittling people
I'm no good at comforting others.
Don't say stuff like that.
Please, I beg you.
Hey I told you not to make that
puppy face!
You're too close.
Too close!

Alright! Don't push me!
Oh sorry!
Hey, that was close!
You could've hit someone.
Come on, stop pushing!
I'll go, I'll go!
Wow, that's great!
Wow!
That's wonderful!
Make sure you eat a lot, okay?
Mamoru, that uniform
it's as if Ito did something bad.
My bad. I'm on a break right now.
Next time, I'll come after work.
Thank you so much.
Well, I feel relieved.
You look better than I had expected.
Sorry for making you worry.
Everyone.
- I guess it's about time we
- Already?
Can't we stay a little longer?
Let's go.
We'll come again tomorrow.
If you want anything, just tell us.
We'll get it for you.
Thank you.
- We'll bring you goodies.
- I'll see them out.
Call me any time if you need
anything.
Okay, I got it.
See you.
Bye.
What did you mean?
We'll buy anything?
It's alright. It's alright.
Hey hey hey.
Why are we hiding?
I'm afraid to see her.
Huh?
Is she just putting on a show
when she is with everyone?
Mugino, why don't you
say something to her?
What?
- No, I'm good.
- Why?
If I knew I'll never
be able to draw again
I'd be even more frustrated
if someone tried to comfort me.
Until she feels she needs us
we should let her be.
You should too.
"Life is an adventure"
"Don't give up your dreams"
Hey, what do you think of this?
Um, no this one won't do.
What are you doing?
There's a page with famous quotes.
I'm looking to see
if any of them can cheer Ito up.
But nothing sticks out.
I told you.
Stop doing that!
I want to do something to help Ito.
Then why don't you bake a cake
or buy something she likes?
But
I've never baked a cake before.
Have your Mum teach you.
Then she'll just make it
all by herself.
Alright then.
What can you make on your own?
Isn't there something?
Nothing.
- Nothing, right?
- I know!
1,000 paper cranes.
To wish her a speedy recovery.
How did I not think of this before?
That should cheer her up.
Not a bad idea.
But how long do you think
that'll take?
To make 1,000 paper cranes.
No no no no.
I'm not helping you!
I need to paint, and I have my work.
Stop giving me that look!
Alright! Alright!
I'll fold one for 100 yen.
- What?
- That's 100 yen per crane, so
500 cranes means 50,000 yen.
Then I can help you
and take a break
from my part-time job.
Right?
You don't want that.
Mugino!
Woah.
Watch out!
Here.
Take a look.
You're kidding me.
Let's make them together.
Wait.
I don't mind but
What's with this money?
Oh this?
I withdrew my savings.
You saved that much?
I've been getting pocket money
from Grandpa
and I haven't spent any.
Don't you have clothes and things
you want to buy?
Dad buys most things for me anyway.
Here you go.
I see.
And there.
This paper is so small.
Hey.
You didn't get any sleep last night.
- Did you?
- Not really.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Hey, watch it!
Wait, hold on.
Wake up!
- Oh.
- Wake up!
Okay.
Okay. Here.
- I'm going. See you.
- Wait, what?
Are you not coming with me?
Well you see
By making those cranes
I'm behind on a lot of work.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry. Thanks.
Hey!
Just give this to her
and do not say much. Okay?
Okay?
Maybe she doesn't want
to see anyone right now.
Yeah, that's true.
Okay.
See you then.
Hi Ito.
Hi Kahoko.
- You came to see me.
- Yes.
Oh.
These are for you.
Thank you.
Can you just put them over there?
Okay.
Bye.
You're leaving already?
Umyeah.
Get well soon.
Don't stress yourself too much.
I was the one who told you
not to tell anyone.
My hand would've been injured
with or without you.
But
It's funny to think I'll never be
able to play the cello again.
What else can I do?
I've actually been doing
some research.
Um
There are instruments you can play
with one hand!
Here, like this.
There are people who play the piano
with one hand.
And if you don't want to do that
you could sing.
A famous person once said
"Human voice is the most
perfect instrument of all".
And also
I found quotes to cheer you up.
I like this one.
A quote by Jackie Robinson.
"The difference between the
impossible and the possible
lies in a person's determination."
So don't give up, Ito.
Grandpa, Grandma, Tamaki,
and Uncle Mamoru.
My Mum and Dad, too.
All of us
we are all looking forward
to hear you play again someday.
You're going to be fine.
You're really smart
mature and strong.
I'm sure a miracle will happen!
I'm cheering for you.
Don't give up on your music.
Auntie Setsu works day and night
to save money for you.
- And Uncle Atsushi, he
- Stop saying those things.
- Huh?
- I know.
I'm trying to pretend
everything is okay.
Why are you talking to me like this?
Are you stupid?
What's wrong, Ito?
You tell me!
This is the real me!
I'm telling you just this once.
I hate all of my relatives.
On birthdays, graduations,
Golden Week and Obon holidays
everyone gathers. It makes me sick!
I went along to get pocket money
but why do I have to play cello
for people like you?
And out of them all,
I hated you the most!
Not really good at anything
but people adore you.
They buy everything for you!
You're like a goldfish swimming
in your nice aquarium.
How can you know
how hard it was for me?
You have no idea what that's like!
And you bring me stuff like this
to comfort me?
Is this supposed to make me
feel better?
Leave!
Kahoko!
I finally found you!
What happened?
I've been waiting for you
at the station.
You didn't even call.
Mum, listen.
- What happened?
- It's Ito. She
What happened to Ito?
I just went to see her.
Butbut
She was a lot better than I thought.
So don't worry.
In this field, Japan ranks
in the top five.
Oh, is that so?
Welcome home.
Welcome home, Kahoko.
Auntie Setsu. What happened?
Your dad is going to introduce
a good doctor for Ito.
I've come to hear him out.
- Oh I see.
- Setsu.
Today
she went to see Ito.
Oh really?
How was she?
Did she say something?
Huh?
Not much.
She's just as always.
I see.
Please go see her from time to time.
Okay, I will.
I'm going to get changed.
- Kahoko.
- Yes?
Are you alright?
Are you feeling ill?
No, I'm fine.
I hate everyone!
What's the matter?
Oh, nothing really.
I happened
to be nearby for work.
I was wondering
how it went with Ito.
Shshrine.
- Shrine?
- Shrine.
She's here
She's here. Slowslow down!
Watch out!
Are you okay?
Running like that?
Won't your Mum get upset again?
That
- That's not important.
- You're not good for anything.
Ah
- Ah
- What? What?
What's the matter?
I hate you the most!
Who are you to comfort me?
You're acting like Munch's painting.
I
What? What?
This has never happened before.
OhIto must have said
some mean things to you.
- Yes.
- I see.
Listen. When someone's dream
falls through, it's the worst
to have someone naive
comfort them.
It ticks them off even more.
But a nice girl like Ito.
How can she say that?
Don't be so surprised.
Everyone has a good and dark side.
- No way.
- No, I'm serious.
What's more
is that it's unusual to not have
ever seen someone's dark side.
Now you know how much
you've been protected growing up.
But
I don't know what to do.
Her voices keep ringing in my head.
Even now they won't stop.
Until now
I talk to Mum whenever
I have troubles at school.
If I tell her about this
she'll definitely have a fight
with Auntie Setsu.
- Sobut-
- Okay, okay.
Alright.
If so
for now just cry and let it out.
I'm telling you.
What you did was pretty stupid.
But
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's not wrong to keep
what Ito said
from your Mum.
That just shows you are kind.
That's your love.
So, stop beating yourself up.
You're probably shocked and
hurt right now.
Just cry and forget about it.
Okay? Come on.
Just let it out.
Cry on my chest.
Wait! I was just kidding!
I was just kidding!
Hey.
Go cry at home.
Hey, now.
You're embarrassing me!
Hey.
Hey.
Can you cry a little more softly?
Can you?
Yes, that's it.
Wait, don't throw up!
Don't throw up. What should I do?
Okay, whatever.
Do whatever you want.
If you have something
you can't tell your Mum
you can tell me.
Okay?
What's that face?
Mugino, you're
- You can be nice too.
- What?
Is this the good and bad side
you were talking about?
Well, you could call it that.
Oh, I get it now!
Wow, you're still crying?
This is bad.
Oof.
Give me a break.
Fall asleep after crying?
Hey, wake up.
We're home.
I don't want to get scolded
by your Mum.
Alright. I'm going to ring the
doorbell and run off like last time.
Let me find the key.
Oh my god
You can say anything you want
about me.
But will you stop talking trash
about Mugino?
It's not true!
It's the total opposite!
I'm going to see Mugino.
I want to see him.
Be quiet!
Shut up!
Just stop bugging me!
