"Your career is over." "I ain't through yet!" "Please watch me race." "I can bring strength to the team in terms of racing." "I will decide the consequences after I see you race." "Don't run away if you get scared." "If you lose, it's not a joke." "Running away is the same thing as losing." "Stupid isn't it?" "Betting their lives on such things." "Their lives?" "They're constantly in the face of death." "Hiroto-san's start was great!" "Hiroto is pulling away!" "What'd you expect?" "Excuse me, but how many laps is the race?" "Three left." "We'll already know who'll win by the 2nd lap." "Hello turtle, hello Mr. turtle..." "In this entire world..." "There's no one faster than you..." "Why are you so fast?" "Ok!" "Shit." "Hiroto's been overtaken!" "One lap left!" "Don't get cocky!" "Hiroto is catching up!" "There's his chance!" "Well let's see if you can take this!" "Look out!" "Idiot!" "That was so close!" "Does he want to get himself killed?" "Kanzaki-san..." "Yeah, Hiroto-san lost..." "He lost..." "Who won?" "Why don't you ask Jiro yourself?" "That was some smooth maneuvering." "Hiroto!" "I'm so tired." "You coulda at least brought some champagne." "What?" "!" "You watched the race, didn't you?" "What else am I supposed to do at a race track?" "Did ya win?" "Huh?" "You didn't see?" "Well, I watched enough of it..." "Don't tell me you couldn't watch because you were worried that I might crash?" "Like I would be worried." "You're here!" "Congratulations!" "You were so cool out there!" "Hey, no fair!" "I thought you were rooting for Hiroto!" "Women only go for the winner, riiight?" "Riiiiight!" "Me too!" "You're amazing!" "Really?" "You two are just like barbie dolls!" "So cool!" "I feel like Hugh Heffner!" "Hold on." "Hey, wait up!" "I'll take you back." "I'm fine, thanks." "This place is REALLY far from the train station." "She's gonna walk to the station?" "No way!" "No waaay!" "No, really I will." "Kanzaki-san, it seems like coach wants a word with you." "See, you're busy, so I'll just go on ahead." "No, I'll..." "Let's go." "Coach is waiting." "Thanks." "I'm going with you." "Me too!" "You two don't need to be there." "A talk?" "Yes, about something very important." "Can you be a good boy?" "Yeeees." "Thank you for waiting." "This is Shunta." "Good afternoon." "Shunta." "This is Mr. and Mrs. Takihara." "They came to see you." "There's nothing to be afraid of, ok?" "They come to my church, and they are both very kind and caring people." "Father brought your favorite, cream puffs." "What's wrong, Shunta?" "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon!" "You can greet people so politely." "You're such a smart boy!" "You're so tiny, and yet you've been through so much." "You poor thing!" "You don't need to worry anymore." "Sorry, it's because he doesn't know you." "Don't worry." "We understand that it will take some time." "We know this poor thing has had a very hard life." "What are they talking about?" "Whether Shunta will be their new son." "Now's his chance." "They only want you while you're young and cute." "Don't say such things." "It may be harsh, but that's the reality." "Huh?" "I can't give you a contract as a driver." "That's all I have to say." "Please wait a minute, coach!" "What's the meaning of this?" "I won!" "I said that I'd determine the consequences." "Please, hold on..." "Kanzaki-san!" "I can't understand this at all!" "If I had lost...but well, today I drove perfectly!" "You want to race that badly?" "I've told you countless times, racing is all I've got." "In that case, how about being on the team staff?" "The staff?" "!" "There's an opening for a mechanic." "Eh.. but.." "I'm a driver." "You just said that racing is your life, right?" "Mechanics are equally important in supporting the team." "Hold on." "We're not talking about the same thing, here." "I raced in the hopes of getting a contract as a driver." "And I won!" "Why should..." "Jiro!" "We are talking about the same thing." "Are we?" "Cool off a little bit, and think about it." "He thinks he's so great just because he won..." "Sorry." "Engine Episode 4 "Small Confession"" "Translator/Editor: sayapapaya Translator/Timer/Editor: sarcasstik" ""Do Not Enter"" "Cool off and think about it." "What'd I do wrong?" "I won, dammit." "Jiro, we have a problem!" "Did you not read the sign: "Do Not Enter"?" "This?" "Hey, don't just take it off!" "They're kidnapping Shunta." "Get outta here." "I'm tryin to think in here." "Get out!" "Hurry up." "But he's gonna be gone!" "They're really gonna take him away!" "What?" "It's true, everyone." "There are some people who would like to adopt Shunta." "What kind of people?" "What do they do?" "Are they rich?" "They are an acquaintance of Father Haruyama." "Mr. Takihara is a dentist and is quite well off." "Forget it, if he's a doctor." "Daisuke!" "When is Shunta leaving?" "Is he never coming back?" "Well, it won't be anytime soon." "He'll be going over to play for a little while starting from tomorrow." "They want him to get used to it first." "Right, Shunta?" "Are you ok, Shunta-kun?" "Yeah." "It'll be lonely without him." "So lonely." "But we should be happy that Shunta was able to find a new family to take care of him." "Even so, it'll be lonely." "Right, Chie-nee?" "Yes." "But, Shunta's new parents will definitely take very good care of him." "Maybe Shunta wants to stay here, though." "What do you think Shunta?" "You can tell us how you truly feel." "It's scary at first, but don't worry." "Your new parents will try their best to make it fun to live over there, too." "Ok, Shunta?" "Yes." "It would be great if we could stay together forever." "That's impossible, this is an orphanage not a family." "Eventually, we'll all be separated." "Hey, that's mine." "I don't want him to leave!" "Right?" "!" "Me?" "Why ask me?" "Won't it be lonely without Shunta?" "Ah, what a pain." "Oh, you think?" "Huh!" "You don't think so?" "It's too bad, but it can't be helped, right?" "That's so cold." "You're terrible!" "I can't believe it." "Shut up!" "It's not my problem." "You're so mean." "You say "it's not my problem." But it's a big problem for Shunta." "Yeah, the rest of his life depends on it!" "Man, they're so annoying." "Excuse me, but that's where the children play." "So, please don't smoke there." "Oh, sorry." "And also, I've been meaning to tell you..." "Do you think you can be more considerate in your conduct toward the kids?" "Considerate?" "Each of the kids here have personal grief to deal with." "They haven't been raised by a normal family." "Normal, huh?" "You probably didn't know, but Shunta was left behind after his family commited suicide together." "Your heartless words may have really hurt him." "If one child becomes unstable, it may effect the others." "Please think more carefully before you act from now on." "I'm soooo sorry." ""Do Not Enter"" "I don't have the time to be nice to stupid kids." "Seems like you went to watch the race?" "Huh?" "Oh yeah." "Well, it was on the way home from Morio-kun's house, so..." "I kind of had no choice, or well...it was against my will." "How was it?" "Well, he looked like any other racer." "So, he's not a wanna-be then..." "Enough about him...do you think Shunta is ok?" "The people interested in adopting Shunta suit him perfectly." "But Shunta didn't seem too happy about it." "I understand that you're worried because you've never seen anyone else leave yet." "But there is a rule that the children must move out once they graduate from high school." "It's actually better for the children to be adopted at a younger age so they can settle down sooner." "I wonder if it'll turn out well." "Shunta is so quiet and all." "I'm a little worried." "It'll be tough at first, but he's still young." "He'll get used to it in no time." "He'll be free to buy what he wants, and he won't have to worry about tuition for schooling." "Although it may be a bit trying for him." "Huh?" "I was just ironing Shunta's clothes for tomorrow." "Sorry, you even do that for us." "I have fond memories of children his age..." "Sorry if I've overstepped my duties." "Not at all!" "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "Sorry to disturb you." "Please, come in." "Good afternoon." "Hello there." "We'll go and call him right now." "Weather's great today, isn't it Encho?" "In fact, we were thinking of going to Ikenomori Park." "I've even made us some bento." "Shunta-kun." "Wake up, Shunta-kun." "Hey, where's Shunta-kun?" "Let us sleep!" "It's Saturday!" "Shunta-kun?" "Shunta-kun?" "What's wrong?" "Do you know where Shunta-kun is?" "No, I don't." "Thanks." "Sorry, but Shunta-kun is gone." "He's missing?" "What about in the other kids' rooms?" ""Don't You DARE Enter"" "Shunta?" "Shunta?" "Shunta?" "Is he under there?" "Do you know where Shunta is?" "Doesn't it say "Do Not Enter"?" "Of course you wouldn't know." "How annoying." "I think I just saw something in there..." "What are you doing in there?" "Peace?" "Shunta?" "Where could he have gone?" "Shunta?" "Shunta?" "Shunta?" "Shunta!" "This ain't good." "You're gonna cause a big fuss." "Hurry up and get out of here." "Hey, are you listening to me?" "Don't try to close it." "Are you gonna ask me to hide you here?" "Please." "Like I could do that." "Please!" "What a pain..." "This is not good at all." "He's not around the house." "Do you think he might have tried to head for the train station?" "Do you think we put too much pressure on him?" "Of course not!" "This is such a great opportunity for him!" "Right, Encho?" "Be quiet." "I'm trying to think." "What's with you?" "You don't have to talk that way." "Takeshi-chan..." "I told you to be quiet." "I brought some juice." "Want some?" "Orange or grape?" "I'm having the grape." "You drink the orange." "In this situation, you don't get to pick." "If you wanna drink, then come out." "You can drink on your own, can't you?" "Can you drive the bus?" "Could you not read the sign?" "We need it to look for Shunta." "Go ahead without me." "Shunta's missing you know!" "What are you gonna do if something bad happens?" "I'm sure nothing's happened to him." "How can you be so sure?" "Well, I just know." "What a guy!" "Sitting there drinking, so carefree." "Stop fooling around!" "Fooling around?" "After seeing you race, I realized how invincible you may feel after winning." "But racing has nothing to do with the kids." "Please try harder to do what's right!" "Hey, why are you Tomomi-sensei?" "Huh?" "Why are you a teacher?" "It's not so simple that I can just tell you right now." "Really?" "Why do you ask?" "Well, you're a little slow." "Slow for someone who works with kids..." "I don't need to hear that from you." "Now she's mad at me!" "Can nobody read my sign?" "!" "What are you gonna do?" "About what?" "This is probably your fault." "What?" "Because you said you don't care about what happens to Shunta." "You probably hurt his feelings." "I don't think he's that much of a wuss." "And I thought you actually understood us." "It's not that easy to understand a total stranger's feelings, after all." "What are you guys doing?" "I just came to complain." "This guy is the worst." "I already know that." "They don't have to go that far..." "Please give me the key for the bus." "If you aren't going, I'll use it to look for him." "I think that's not necessary." "A six year old boy is missing!" "Do you want to be responsible if anything happens?" "Hurry!" "The clutch is a little sticky, so be careful." "I may not be a racer, but I know how to drive a car." "What are you gonna do?" "!" "Now I'm the bad guy!" "I'm going with you." "Hold on!" "Hey, knock it off already." "The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to come out." "Stupid..." "I have more things to worry about than babysitting!" "Yes, yes, c'mon!" "Hurry and get your butt out here!" "Stop being a coward!" "Just cause you're a kid, I ain't goin easy on ya." "What'd you expect?" "Hiding in here, fooling everyone." "You're a big boy now, aren't ya?" "I'm coming!" "1, 2, 3!" "Hey!" "I'm not here!" "You obviously are." "I'm cleaning up right now." "Whoa, it's so small and dirty." "Whaddaya want?" "It has nothing to do with you, but I sent the people that were interested in adopting Shunta home." "Oh, really?" "Nothing to do with you." "Where did that kid go?" "Maybe he's playing hide and seek by himself." "Well there's gotta be someone to go and find him." "I don't have the time to be playin games!" "Hey, this was on the ground." "What are you doing anyway, putting that up and locking yourself up in here?" "Me?" "Well, I had some things to think about..." "Ha!" "You should stop." "Huh?" "No matter how hard you think, the answer isn't just gonna appear in front of you." "Use your gut, not your head." "How am I supposed to do that?" "How would I know?" "Then don't even bring it up in the first place!" "I've got problems too, ya know?" "I'm havin a hard time cause there's things I gotta think through!" "Ha!" "What problems?" "Stupid!" "How annoying." "It's a lot easier said than done." "I..." "What?" "I am..." "You're what?" "I am..." "What?" "Hurry up and spit it out!" "I am not a poor thing." "Is that right?" "Then you need to come out, and give it to em!" "Shunta-kun!" "Where were you?" "It was you, again?" "I'm sorry." "In any case, we're just glad you're not hurt." "But, why did you decide to hide?" "We were all waiting for you, you know?" "Tell it to em." "Shunta-kun." "I'm not a poor thing!" "What?" "What do you mean by "poor thing"?" "You've been through so much, you poor thing." "Yeah, he really is a poor thing." "Ohhh." "But it's only because they care." "Yeah." "They really just want what's best for you." "I'm not a poor thing!" "Shunta-kun." "I'm not a poor thing!" "I'm not a poor thing!" "Ok, ok." "It's alright now, Shunta." "We'll rethink about getting you new parents." "But, Encho..." "It's fine!" "This is what he wants." "Well, that's it for today then." "But, but..." "There's no point in complaining!" "It's already been decided." "Amen!" "Amen?" "That guy is really giving it his best, huh..." "You know..." "He really is." "Even though he's so tiny." "I found this on the ground." "Huh?" "Yo." "What ya doing?" "What does it look like?" "I need to wash this thing once in awhile." "I'll help you!" "Well, then use this." "Use it on the black part and the eyeballs." "Why don't you just get it washed at the gas station?" "They wouldn't wash this old thing." "I'll do it!" "Me too!" "That's cold!" "Whaddya do that for?" "It's freezing!" "Don't play around." "Who's standin on the hose?" "Hey, I said to wash it properly." "Quit fooling around!" "What the heck are you doin?" "STOP!" "Wash it properly!" "What are you doing?" "Scrub here, not down there." "Do you guys know how a car works?" "Nope!" "Teach us!" "Huh?" "Hmm, teach you..." "Well, inside a car, there's a spark plug." "The spark ingnites the fuel." "Then, there's an explosion that pushes the piston." "The piston turns the axle." "That power is passed down the shaft to move the tires." "So that's how it works." "Got it?" "I don't get it!" "You guys are kinda dumb, huh?" "Tell us again." "Ah, what a pain." "You need piston-kun, spark plug-chan, shaft-kun working together or the tires won't move." "Got it?" "I still don't get it!" "Ah, nevermind." "Go study it on your own." "You help wash, too." "Huh?" "Well..." "Here you go." "Shoot this part down a little." "Just push hard." "Okay." "Sorry." "I think there was something good in all of this." "Shunta used to never voice his opinion." "But today I saw him clearly express his feelings." "I was so happy." "Ah, it's so dirty here." "And it's not such a complicated reason." "What's not?" "You asked me earlier...why I became a teacher." "Oh." "I said it's not something I could explain easily." "But it really is simple." "Kids are so adorable." "They just make me happy somehow." "I want to learn more and more about children." "Although you probably don't care." "I think it's the same for me." "What?" "The first time I raced, I thought about how awesome it would be to get paid for doing something I enjoy." "I thought that's all that was important." "What am I babbling about?" "What are ya doin, you little punks?" "!" "I told ya to wash it properly!" "Who was it?" "!" "Was it you?" "!" "I can't stand this!" "I think you're right, Torii-sensei." "There are a lot of children out there that have found happiness in new parents." "I'm just trying to think of their futures more than just one or two weeks from now." "We aren't taking care of children just as a hobby but as professional educators!" "Thank you." "Well, it's nothing for you to thank me about..." "All we can do is hope that they can let go and stand on their own someday." "Eh?" "I have excellent potatoes today." "Should I make nikujyaga or korokke?" "Come out, Jiro!" "Don't make me mad!" "Coach." "I wanna try it." "Please sign me up as a mechanic." "There's no doubt that the driver, engineers, mechanics, and even the staff are all part of the race." "Right?" "Is that what you think I wanted to hear?" "It's not?" "Racing is not that simple." "Well, then..." "You don't understand yet, do you?" "That's why you've come to see me." "Yes." "I understand." "Please hire me." "I want to learn more about racing." "Jiro is a racer, you know." "Riiight?" "They tried to tell Aoi about the incident." "They want him to transfer schools!" "You can do anything as long as you don't resort to violence?" "He gave him a nosebleed!" "I told you not to touch my car!" "You're gonna grow up to be a nice young lady." "Why don't you sit down and eat!" "?" "Perfect!" "Whaddya mean by that?" "You're all alone in there." "No one will come to save you."
