"The old man doesn't cook, why did we have to buy so many?" "Beats me." "We're known as the benriya in front of Mahoro Station." "Isn't your stuff lighter than mine?" "I have here the salt and soy sauce." "I have the two bottles of oil." "Break!" "Gyoten Haruhiko was my classmate from Mahoro Middle School..." "I had accidentally cut his little finger in the past." "We met again by chance, and I felt a sense of guilt." "He promised that he'd only stay at my place for one night but..." "That sealed my fate." "This troublesome guy's been with me for the past 2 years." "Oh no, what should we do?" "What happened?" "The ball hit him." "I'm sorry..." "Don't apologize!" "What are you saying!" "Are you ok, Gyoten?" "It was his fault, standing in a place like this." "What shall we do if he won't wake up?" "We'll be in trouble." "He's not waking up." "Should we call an ambulance?" "Hello?" ""Is this Benriya-san?"" ""This is Suzaki of Mahoro Municipal Hospital."" ""Soneda-san's condition is not so good."" "(You) okay?" ""We still cannot somehow..."" "No, I'm asking Gyoten." ""Gyoten?"" "Uh, is her condition pretty bad?" ""Um, yes..."" "Um, anyway, we'll be right there." "Just the right time, let's go to the hospital." "Can you stand up?" "Listen, man..." "People can die easily, y'know." "Let's go." "Hurry, hurry." "We've been visiting Soneda-san in the hospital every week for the past one year, as requested to us by his son." "This is also one of our jobs." "Just a while ago..." "Soneda-san..." "I mean, just a while ago, she ate jelly and fell asleep." "What?" "That's one deep afternoon nap." "She had a close call last week." "But her son said he'll visit when her time is up." "Such a cold son, right?" "Soneda-san is so lonely." "It may be a job for you but you're the one who's so kind to her, Benriya-san." "Um..." "I wonder why her son won't come and visit her?" "Well..." "Isn't because there are some things one can't forgive because of one's parents?" "She woke up!" "You've come." "How are you feeling?" "Hmm?" "Better." "Anyway, I'm glad she's alive." "Well, with this we were able to get through a hectic end of the year...." "And welcomed a smooth start of the new year." ""This is Myoho-ji (shrine) in Suginami Ward, Tokyo."" ""Here in Myoho-ji, many parishioners have turned up for their first shrine visit of the year."" "Tada Benriken." "Hello?" "Been a long time." "How are you?" "Yes." "Yeah, no problem." "Of course, that's impossible, isn't it?" "I have no experience." "Can't resort to such reckless action without asking what the other person wants." "If..." "Was that an erotic request?" "Why think that?" "Since you said, "experience" and "reckless action*" (*could also mean "violence")..." "So with just that you assumed it was an erotic request?" "Yup." " Aren't you like hiding something?" " No, I'm not." "(4 Jan., 12 noon, in front of the Mahoro Station Square, is that okay with you?" "~Mistumine Nagiko)" "Gyoten, on the 4th..." "go and have an MRI scan." "Tada..." "Aren't you hiding something?" "I'm gonna do my first-shrine-visit." "Mistumine Nagiko..." "Gyoten's ex-wife..." "Or rather, she needed to conceive so Gyoten offered to be the sperm donor..." "A ridiculous request has come in this early start of the year." "I absolutely cannot tell Gyoten." "Wishing for a peaceful year..." "And, I'll be glad even if it's slightly better than last year." "Once again." "I had lost my 6 month old chid." "Tada." "Gimme coins for the offertory." "It should be your own money." "Or else, your prayer won't be answered." "I've thought of what you prayed for..." "Bet you're like, "I wish for money" "Wish I can have a girlfriend..."" "That's none of your business." "You do have coins!" "Gyoten..." "What on earth could you be praying for?" "(Happy New Year ~Tada Benriken)" "Wabi-Sabi Subs presents:" "MAHORO EKIMAE KYOSOKYOKO "Disconcerto in Front of Mahoro Station"" "Benri-ya." "The Yokochu buses are always reducing transit service..."

"(Home and Health Food Association, HHFA "Towards the future along with the earth" Health and safety of your home starts from the food)" "They're pretty passionate for their ideas and lofty dreams." "I'm more impressed with them than I am with you guys." " Good evening." " Good evening." "You're working hard since the New Year, huh." "Yes." "We're fertilizing the soil during winter, since it's essential for farming." "We'll go ahead." ""The bus is departing; please be careful."" "Gotcha." "That was dangerous y'know." "My eyes got burned." "My eyelashes are gone." "You guys not getting money from the Yokochu Bus, are you?" "We do our job quite seriously." "Quite seriously, we already reached our limit." "Gramps, Yokochu Buses are doing their work properly." "I see..." "What is it?" "Fine." "With this, let's end it." "Thanks for the hard work, Benri-ya." "For real?" "You okay with that, Oka-san?" "We accept any job requests as much as possible..." "That's Tada Benriken's motto." "I'm fine with it." "With this, let's put an end to the observation of the Yokochu Bus line." "Um..." "If you lose your purpose for living..." "Like you get too old or get sick..." "I'm extremely healthy!" "Listen up, Benri-ya..." "I prefer to fight my own battles." "Okay, we'll be scanning you now." "Alright now, don't move, ok?" "Don't move." "We're starting now." "Ah, I can't do this..." "We're from HHFA." "In order to ensure food safety we choose pesticide-free ingredients." "With such things like eating out, and ready-to-eat foods you shouldn't expose your precious children to danger!" "That's their representative, Kobayashi." "His parents were the forerunners of HHFA, and avid believers of the "Heavenly Voice Sect"." "It seems he received considerable abuse from his mother." "After separating from them both his parents have gone missing." "Then, there are rumors going around that say Kobayashi is involved with a series of arson cases." "The police are not making a move but..." "He hasn't done anythin wrong, has he?" "Yes." "But still, he's a good-for-nothing guy." "You can't just decide on that." "You don't know him yet." "The one who's good for nuthin is you, man." "Please take one." "Mitsumine-san." " Please." " Tada-san." "Right now, my partner is involved in medical service in rural areas in the Middle East." "I've got a bit of a problem." "(This way up to Tada Benriken)" "Actually, I'll be going to a research facility in the US and be staying there for about a month and half." "I'll be assisting a former teacher with his experiment project." "Of course, I've thought of bringing Haru with me." "But my teacher said putting together a paper is going to be a brief, decisive battle and it will be difficult having my daughter along." "I'll be leaving in a week." "I am very much aware that what I'm doing is unreasonable and selfish." "But..." "I feel that I shouldn't let this chance pass by." "I just couldn't resist it." "I'm afraid I can't take care of Haru-chan." "Isn't there anyone else who can look after her?" "My parents are already dead." "While my partner's parents have cut off ties with her." "Come, let's go." "Come on please!" "Why are you always like this?" " Walk now, come on!" " I don't want!" "Is it okay not to see your Grandpa?" "It's okay." "Why say such a thing!" "It's fine with me." "It's bad to hit your child." "It's fine with me." " Come on." " I'll pass." "Hey..." "As a matter of fact, I dunno whether we can take care of Haru-chan for as long as a month and a half." "Besides, Gyoten is generally not good with kids." "That's just an assumption." "Haru-chan is..." "Gyoten-san seems he had a painful childhood." "He's scared of children." "When he's with children, he doesn't know what to do." "Like he's afraid of himself." "But..." "I'lll consult him first, then I'll give you my answer." "Don't." "Once he knows of such a thing, Haru-- Gyoten will decide otherwise." "If you leave Haru-chan here, Gyoten will have to look after her." "We promised each other." "That he offer his sperm, I conceive, and get divorced afterwards, we will absolutely have nothing to do with each other." "I think it's fine if you break that promise." "After all, by genes, he is also Haru-chan's parent." "Huh?" "What am I saying?" "Can you please persuade Haru-chan (Gyoten)?" "This is bad..." "This is bad..." "This is really bad." "Oh, shit..." "Those guys hanging around in front of the Mahoro Station passing out leaflets about pesticide-free vegetables..." "They're a gang trying to sell vegetables." "How do I know?" "It's the school meals." "They're gonna tie up with the school meals served in Mahoro City Elementary and Middle Schools." "Well, that'll be a huge deal, right?" "So if that's what the boss has his eye on we're relying on you to mediate between us and them." "Why should I mediate for the Okayama-gumi?" "It's weird, ain't it?" "Those guys are sayin it's for public food safety." "But ain't it suspicious they're hanging around with the yakuza?" "It does smell fishy." "Actually..." "They're officially a civic group on health food." "But behind the scenes the volunteers are being forced to make the vegetables for the members." "Sounds like they're making easy money." "And you know what the core of that group is?" "Fifteen years ago, there was the headquarters of a cult in Mahoro City." "You've heard of the "Heavenly Voice Sect", right?" "Claimed they could hear the voice of God." "Their followers' children were raised to be "Hearers of God's Voice"." "I don't want a gang of such guys around here." "Even if it means going against your boss?" "That's right." "Two words I hate are first, equality..." "Second is volunteers." "You want us to collect some kinda evidence, right?" "Like even though they're sayin it's pesticide free, but they're actually using pesticides..." "You get the drift easily that's why, it's convenient talking to you." "About the wholesale drugs..." "Can you give us 5% discount for it?" "3 percent." "Pretty soon, the boss will be handing down the reins (to me)." "It's best we get along." "Can't be helped." "Fine. 3 percent it is." "By the way, what happened with your MRI scan?" "Seems fine." "Strange, wasn't it?" "Why are you cleaning?" "Seems like... you're hiding something." "I'm not." "If so, fine but..." "Since I'm indebted to you..." "As much as possible, I want to avoid situations where one can snap and beat someone up." "Why is Iijima disobeying the will of his boss?" "Then come here to rely on us for that?" "Yakuza dubiously selling vegetables to make money..." "Or yakuza who are honorably poor and value that honor." "Which one do you guys choose?" "Kanai, if it's up to you, what will you do?" "I'll choose whatever you decide, Hoshi-san." "Kanai, doesn't matter to me what I choose." "A yakuza who only makes money is stupid." "But the yakuza who is only about honor is even more stupid." "Then, why should we be like some kinda contractor for Iijima?" "Remember isn't there the Benri-ya guys we rely on?" "In times of need, there's Tada Benriken." "Gyoten." "What?" "Gonna take a dump." "(6 days til Haru-chan comes)" "Tada-chan."

"Also it's good if you sit next to him." "Even if you get beaten up, it won't hurt if you're too close." "Still, I wonder if Gyoten is prone to violence..." "Well, you should be the one who knows." "Isn't Gyoten-chan a hard person to read?" "(5 days left)" "Gyoten!" "That was a good hot bath, wasn't it?" "(4 days left to go)" "What about hiring a baby-sitter?" ""I've thought about it."" ""I will feel anxious if I entrust her with a person I do not know."" "Um..." "I haven't told Gyoten yet." ""Please hurry." "I'll be leaving soon."" ""A patient has come..."" "Hey..."

"If you try living with your daughter... ..won't many things change?" "I can't say that." "Can never do this." "He said he'll snap and beat me up." "Hang on a sec..." "He did feel at that time that he was hugely indebted to me." "That's weird, isn't it!" "Gimme a break, will ya!" "Welcome." "Eh, what?" "Go over there." "Welcome." " Breakfast set for 2." " Yes, sir." "Please take that seat." "Since you're gonna live with Kashiwagi Asako-san of Kitchen Mahoro you wanna talk to me about it, don't you?" "Why you think that?" "Kashiwagi-san and I are not having a relationship." "Man you're so carefree." "It's cruel if you're too carefree." "Gyoten." "I've decided to care for a kid." "Thanks for everything." "Bye." "Wait, not so fast!" "I'm sorry for deciding on this without asking you first." "Sorry." "It's my younger brother's kid... my niece." "They have some circumstances." "After all, even you should feel obligated for staying with me for free." "I don't like kids." "I have no intention of taking care of a kid." "You're so carefree that's why you don't hesitate in saying you'll take care of a kid." "I did think about it carefully before agreeing." "You CAN take care of a child." "I believe that." "You really are carefree." "A guy can't do it if he who grew up entirely without love, since he's bound to be cruel." "That's tough, Gyoten." "Even I'M scared." "Told you about my child who died..." "You say you can't take care of a child..." "Hey, Tada..." "I think it should be easy if it's someone you love." "So let's do it." "But what if I hit and kill your brother's kid, what will we do?" "That won't happen, we'll work together." "Okay, Gyoten?" "Let's babysit her together, alright?" "We can do it!" "Alright, Gyoten?" "I don't like it but..." "Well..." "Thank you." "Can I talk to you?" "Oh, Hoshi-san." "This is a coincidence..." "No, it's not." "Got a job request for you." "I decline." "(Since a "healthy" and "safe" home is food that's secure, Safe and Secure!"

"How about it, Benri-ya?" "You have no complaints, right?" "I'll pass." "You don't have a younger brother." "Therefore, you don't have a niece either." "We'll do it." "You shoulda said so from the start." "Til next time." "All clear." "Then, we start with the stakeout now..." "You take care of it for today." "Didn't expect that." "Aren't you stupid?" "Ah..." "Fine, I'm stupid." "I'll pick you up tonight." "Eh~?" "Take care of it." "Tada-chan, you shouldn't have lied to him." "I just can't tell him." "Gyoten still somehow hasn't acknowledged the child..."

"Weird, right?" "Even when I was only a little bad, she would knock me around saying that I wouldn't be able to hear God's voice." "My mother believed that I was a special child." "You think she was crazy, right?" ""She was crazy so it can't be helped."" "It was easier if you thought of it that way." "But it wasn't so." "My mother was only believing in God that she acted that way to her child." "If that is madness, then the whole world would be over-flowing with crazy people." "You're wrong, Gyoten." "That's not true." "I can't explain it well but..." "The bad thing that happened to you you absolutely don't want it to happen to a small child." " How can you be sure?" " I know you..." "You've lived with me for two years..." "I understand you well." "You and your mom are not the same." "Listen, Gyoten..." "Tonight stay here and look after her overnight, okay?" "I told you I can't look after her." "Is that so." "But sorry, man." "I have a date tonight." "Do you really understand?" "If you leave me here with that kid after you come home from your date you will probably see that the kid will be covered with bruises." "You won't do that." "Wait." "What?" "Aren't you too close?" "I'm going." "Take care of things." "Maybe I'll go out too..." "If something were to happen to Haru-chan during that time..." "I would choose to die." "Say, where's Tada-san?"

"Everyone will be able to see us, right?" "Kids from my school and cram school have been making fun of me." "Kids can be cruel." "Can you steal me away?"

"They were so funny this morning." "Gyoten was wearing a suit." "This one makes him look like a swindler." "This one looks like a kidnapper." "(Daughter, Father)" "Guess they're father and daughter after all." "(Daughter, Father)" "I'm worried about the two of them so I have to go now." "I'll see you again." "Did you remove the soil?" "Yes." "No, you didn't." "Bring it with you." "Good day." "Is Tamura Yura-kun here?" "Tamura-kun!" "What're you doing?" "May I help you?" "I am his instructor-in-charge and math teacher in the cram school he goes to..." "My name is Segawa." "Seems I've seen you before..." "He's Segawa-sensei from Yozei Admissions School." "We're having a special course today but he told me he'll be absent..." "When I asked him for a reason, he said he'll be doing farmwork." "That's right." "He is a member here." "That won't do." "The middle school entrance exams are just around the corner this time of the year..." "It's not the time to be leisurely caring for vegetables." "Caution does no harm..." "We can't let the exchange rate of rice rise*." "(A quote from Tora-san of the "Otoko wa Tsurai yo" movies)" "And we can't let his test scores fall." "If you're careless with him, he's gonna fall behind." "Besides, Yura-kun is a talented boy." "Isn't that right, Yura-kun?" "Well, shall we go?" "Hang on a minute, you..." "You're the one taking pictures at that time!" " Run." " What is this!" "Never mind that, run." "Hey, you okay?" "What happened?" "After them!" ""Please be careful on your way down."" "Hurry!" "Come on, hurry, hurry." ""The bus is departing." "Please be careful."" "Wait!" "Wait a minute!" "Hey!" "Tamura-kun!" "Oh, man!" "That was a miraculous timing, huh?" "Why didn't Tada-san come!" "?" "It got all messed up!" "My mom's gonna scold me." "When that happens, just go and ask for help." "Are you that Benri-ya's assistant?" "Oka-san, do you know him?" "What should we do?" "There are small kids here." "We've decided to do this once and for all." "Yeah!" "We can't back out now!" "Right!" "We...!" "...are now taking over this bus!" "We are protesting Yokochu Bus' reduced operations!" "That's right!" "Do not panic!" "Do as we say and no harm will come to you." "We demand serious service from Yokochu Bus!" "Serious service!" "No to reduced operations!" "Yes to serious service!" "What is this?" "No to reduced service!" "What da hell's happening here!" "Shincchan!" "Why are you taking the bus?" "I have a bad leg, and the bus is free (for the disabled)." "You be quiet!" "Are you seriously car-jacking this bus?" "Yeah!" "So sit your ass down and be quiet!" "What the hell, man..." "Seriously..." "What should I do?" "Eh?" "What's the matter?" "Do you have bad drugs with you?" "It isn't drugs I'm worried about." "It's getting involved in police matters!" "It's not somethin' to laugh about!" ""We will be stopping next."" "No stopping!" ""Wanpaku Kids are all set!"" ""At the Athletic Center near the south interchange..." "Let's go!"" "Hey..." "What should we do?" "I don't know." "Oh, Shincchan, can I borrow your phone?" "Is that your one good suit?" " Yeah." " If so..." "You shouldn't dirty it." "Yeah." "Tada Benriken, hello?" ""Tada?"" "Oh, it's just you." "There's heavy traffic out." "Did it go well?" ""I was able to take Yura-ko out but..."" ""Afterwards, some kind of trouble developed."" "What?" ""When we rode the bus, a bunch of old people decided to car-jack the bus."" ""Tada-san, help us!"" " "Shincchan, thanks."" " What da hell did you do!" "Where are you now!" "For cryin out loud... (Protest Against Reduced Operations!" ")" "With this... good!" "(Protest Against Reduced Operations!" ")" "Oka-san, have some tea please." "(Protest Against Reduced Operations!" ")" "Thanks." "(Protest Against Reduced Operations!" ")" " Here." " Ah, Oka-san!" "When we ride up to the Yokochu Bus Office wonder what will happen?" " Are you having second thoughts?" " Not really..." "It's just that I'm wondering if everything is really going to get solved now." "The wider the place, the more we get to appeal to the public." "Even if police come, rubberneckers come..." "Even if television news reporters come, it's better if there's more uproar." "W-wait a minute!" "If such a big incident occurs, y-you guys will end up in jail!" "Don't look down on us old folks!" "You can even give us the death penalty!" "We'll die before then anyway." "Because a person doesn't die twice!" "Driver, there's a change of destination!" "Go to the front of Mahoro Station!" ""It's 11km in Hakamada heading towards Sagamihara."" ""In Tokiwa, the traffic congestion is 9km."" ""Prefectural road in Yamato-sen, Yokohama..."" "Here you go." "Thank you!" "Tamura Yura-kun, right?" "Kobayashi-san." "Today is supposed to be manual work day." "I wonder why you're with Gyoten-kun." "Gyoten Haruhiko." "It's been a long time." "Do you remember me?" "Gyocchin." "It's me." "Kobayashi Koji." "We were always together in the sect." "Koji-kun." "We used to play together, didn't we?" "Do you remember?" "You always followed me where ever I went." "Those were fun times." "But it abruptly came to an end." "It was difficult when it dissolved." "Everyone was gone." "Shincchan, what're you doing?" "Stop the bus!" "I'm getting off!" "Ya bastard!" "What're ya doin!" "You fool!" "Da hell's happening..." "Stop the bus!" "I'm in danger!" "Quick stop the bus!" "It's already stopped." "Bag!" "My bag!" "My bag!" "The bag is..." "The bag is..." "Alrighty then!" "Let's go!" ""The bus is departing." "Please be careful."" "Wai-wai-wai" "Bag!" "My bag!" "This is bad!" "Gyocchin..." "Right now, we at HHFA are growing vegetables." "Come join us, once again." "Together with Tamura Yura-kun." "Koji-kun do you still believe you're a "Child of God"?" "You're aware of the truth, right?" "Faith is what saves the people, Gyocchin." "I wonder if it's so." "A person tends to believe anything and everything." "Our parents were like that too, right?" "Then, we got saved." "Tamura Yura-kun." "Come here please." "Come home with me." "Your mother's waiting for you." "TAMURA!" "Come here!" "Do not shout at the child." "Taking him out without permission..." "Are you planning to pollute this child!" "?" "Come here." "Is this your daughter?" "Haru." "Shall we make her a "Child of God"?" "Where are ya now!" ""At the front of the station or something..." "Gyoten is..."" ""Gyoten is...!"" "I'm heading there now!" "Never mind!" "Sorry, excuse me!" "Can I borrow for a bit, please?" "Sorry." "I really am." "Koji-kun." "We, too, wanted to go to the amusement park, didn't we?" "Oww..." "We ate candies, and our tongues got bright red." "What about it!" "?" "Gyoten, stop it!" "Hey, Assistant, what're you doing!" "We threw water balloons, didn't we?" "But I can't go with you anymore." "I don't want to go!" "Stop it already!" "Huh?" "What happened?" "Stop the bus!" "Wh-what happened?" "Go to the hospital!" "What're ya doin, Gyoten!" ""MPD to all units."" ""There was a gunshot sound from inside a bus in the jurisdiction of Mahoro..."" ""...according to incoming 110 calls..."" ""There is a culprit with unknown details taking the passengers as hostages inside the bus."" ""Assume the barricade position."" "Tada-san?" "Hey, don't let anyone through!" "Confirm the number of people inside!" "That and that..." "Block all openings where a person can come out." "Yes, sir." "Urgent, urgent." "Mahoro Unit 1 to MPD..." "To the perpetrator..." "Please stop this nonsense and come out." "What's going on?" "They're aiming guns at us." "Lord, have mercy." "Lord, have mercy." "Gyoten!" "Hurry!" "We're going to the hospital, aren't we!" "Kobayashi of HHFA is on board the bus." "What does that mean?" "Hey!" "Don't shoot!" "Put down those pistols!" "What the heck are ya doin!" " Hey!" " A friend of mine and children are in there!" " It's dangerous here!" " Come over here!" "Benri-yaaaa!" "Come here!" "Yura-ko..." "You mustn't do that." "Even I want to play." "Then, why won't you?" "Since you and I've become free." "Stop talking already!" "And..." "Tada had said..." ""If you're alive, you can start over."" "No matter how many times." "Wonder if I can start over." "Stop it!" "I said stop it!" "Hey, Yoshimura!" "Yoshimura!" "Hey, who the heck is that guy." "He's the Benri-ya." " Get back here." " What're ya doin!" " Hey, what're you doing!" " Please stay back." "Hey, Yoshimura!" "There's an injured person!" "Hurry and call a doctor!" "Please release the hostages!" "Throw away the handgun you're hiding!" "Kobayashi, show your hands, and put them on the back of your head." "Call a doctor!" "Gyoten!" "Don't move!" "Gyocchin." "Koji-kun." "What the hell did ya dooo!" "Secured!" "Kobayashi is secured!" "Hey!" "One hostage is injured!" "Hey, stretcher!" "The hell's with ya!" "Hurry!" "Get the stretcher here!" "Look for the pistol!" "Stretcher, bring the stretcher!" "The perp is secured." "The perp and the other person..." "Tada-san!" "Haru!" "Are you hurt?" "It's alright now." "Okay?" "Move it there!" "Gyoten!" "I..." "I..." "You didn't do anything bad, Yaru-ko." "Tada..." "I'm sorry." "I messed up." "Hey!" "Hey, Gyoten!" "WHAT DA HELL DID YA DO!" "Hey!" "Doctor!" "Call a doctor!" "Oka and the other elderlies were released without indictment." "Kobayashi had a narrow escape from death, and the HHFA was dissolved." "Since Yura-ko had been in shock, he wasn't able to go to school much." "But somehow he successfully passed the admission exam to his desired middle school." "Poor Shincchan became a wanted fugitive." "And then..." "Consolation payment from Hoshi-san." "If you don't accept it, he'll get mad at me." "(Benriken, I'm sure this was hard on you." "I'm hoping for your continued support. ~Hoshi Ryoichi)" "Some people change, and some people don't." "Then, it was time to say goodbye to Haru-chan." "Nagiko-san came back a little ahead of schedule." "Mommy, Mama!" "She came back with her female partner." "Are you well?" "Haru-chan calls Nagiko-san, "Mommy" while she calls her partner, "Mama."" "I apologize for the inconvenience." "It was my fault." "This is my partner, Nishijima." "I have heard about you from Nagiko." "Thank you for taking care of us." "Nagiko-san's lover was a pretty and cool person." "Miraculously, Gyoten's wound did not affect any vital organs." " Huh?" " Excuse us." "Excuse us." "Where's Gyoten?" "That guy has animal-like intuition so he probably..." "I want to see Gyoten!" "Where's Gyoten!" "Haru, hush..." "No!" "I wanna say "thank you" to Gyoten!" "Wonder if it's because I'm here?" "It's because Haru-chan (Gyoten) is like that." "Then, shall we go?" "Let's go." "What's the matter with you, I could have died." "Yeah." "But well, I'm the one who could've died." "I'm sorry." "Say, Yaru-ko..." "Can you get me a smoke?" "Sure, I have some pocket money but is it okay?" "I want to smoke too." "Me, too." "Me, too." "Mommy..." "Mama..." "Daddy." "Thank you, Haru-chan." "Come with us?" "I can't." "It's okay, don't cry." "You can always come and play." "Gyoten and I will be waiting for you." "I'll see you again." "What're you doing?" "Towing." "Thank you." "It'll be spring soon, huh?" "This will probably be my last spring, isn't it?" "Say, Tada-san..." "I wonder if there's an afterlife..." "There is no afterlife." "But as much as possible, I won't forget you until I die." "Is that okay?" "That's okay by me." "After this, Gyoten disappeared." "So Gyoten-san hasn't come back since then?" "Yeah." "Somehow, he probably wants you and I to move in together." "Maybe we need a bit more time." "When I'm with you it feels like I can breathe easily." "Sorry, it's time for me to go to work." "See you, Tada-san." "Asako-san!" "Next time can we go to Mahoro Squirrel Park?" "Sure!" "When the cherry blossoms began to bloom..." "You have a smoke?" "(Viva ❤ Mahoro!" ")" "Cigarette." "What happened to you, man?" "Gotcha huh?" "My eyes got burned." "What IS that on your t-shirt?" "What does "viva" mean?" "Is it like "long live"?" "Really?" "You up for it?" "Yeah..." "I guess so."
