"Light, Darkness and Love" "It's been a long time since we've gone on a drive, hasn't it?" "Hey!" "Don't touch that!" "It's dangerous." "Come on, just for a while." "What's the button for?" "That's fun!" "Nah." "That's not fun at all." "It is the special feature of this car." "So cool." "Must be expensive." "Well, not bad." "Totoo, don't be so mischievous." "But I also want to press it for once, too." "Wow." "How wonderful!" "Touch wants to do it, too." "Cut it out!" "Oops, it broke." "I told you so." "If only I had brought my swimwear..." "My brand new car is ruined." "Can't help it." "We need to take cover." "Professor, where should we take shelter?" "There's a limestone cave over there." "Follow me." "Here it is." "Here?" "You will be amazed once we enter." "Okay, hurry up and go in." "Ouch!" "What a nuisance!" "Wow!" "It's huge." "See?" "Isn't it large enough to shelter us from the rain?" "I found this place when I was collecting moss." "Professor." "This rock looks like a bamboo shoot." "That kind of rock is called a stalagmite." "Don't you break anything." "It takes several hundreds of years to grow just 1 cm." "Professor." "Do you know how far this cave extends?" "I've not explored the deeper part yet." "It'd be bad if we got lost in there." "The locals should have made a fence here." "Looks like someone went in there." "Two persons it seems." "How rash!" "Looks like they went in not long ago." "Hey!" "It's dangerous in there!" "Come back here!" "Or did they actually wanna die?" "Fools!" "Can't be helped." "I'll get my tools." "What a nuisance." "The rain has stopped, but trouble continues." "Is that it?" "No, not this one." "Look, that bike!" "Tsumura!" "Hey, this is it." "Finally we found it." "Listen, you should never let go of this rope." "Totoo, make sure you hold tight onto its end." "If something happens, tug at this rope so we'll know." "Okay." "Let's go then." "I'm scared." "Listen, watch your steps carefully okay?" "Okay." "Trouble makers..." "Professor, I see light on the cliff in there." "Isn't this luminescent moss?" "The water emerges from the dark, flows back into the dark." "Fall off and your body will never float." "Back on topic, where did those two go?" " Aaaaa!" " Watch out!" "Professor!" "Thank you for saving me." "It's really kind of you." "But who are you guys?" "Why are you hiding here?" "Did you guys do something bad that you are wanted?" "Professor." "They don't look like bad people." "Is it a crime to love each other?" "What do you mean?" "Her name is Chiyoko Yabe." "And I'm Minoru Tsumura." "My dad is the director of a real estate company." "He's very proud of the fortune he's made on his own." "He has money." "Now, he wants reputation." "So he tries to force me to marry the son of a minister." "But you already have Minoru whom you really love, right?" "Yes." "But I'm just a useless new employee of her dad's company." "Of course, her father does not approve of us." "That's why you guys ran away together." "How romantic!" "I'm sure this is his bike." "They must be nearby." "Boss, there is a cave over there." "They're probably inside." "Let's check it out." "So no matter how much your parents are against it, you guys don't wanna break up." "Is that right?" " Yes." " Yes." "Are you guys sure about it?" "Of course." "That's good." "Talk is cheap." "I'm a scientist." "So I can't believe until you've proven it." "Professor, you're heartless!" "You call me heartless?" "I'm just being cautious." "It is a serious matter for a person to love another person." "Totoo is pulling the rope." "Hey, kid." "Now tell me." "A man and a woman went in, right?" "Y..." "Yes." "What does the man look like?" "He has a high forehead, mustache, and wears glasses." "Kid!" "Don't mess with me!" "What's wrong, Totoo?" "Professor." "Chiyoko." "Chiyoko." "After them!" "Catch them!" "Yes, sir!" "I see." "So he's the director of Yabe Real Estate." "I feel sorry for them." "Stop!" "Hold it right there!" "Stop!" "Tsumura!" "Stop!" "Tsumura!" "Tsumura!" "Stop, Chiyoko." "It's no use trying to run away." "Stop!" "Tsumura!" "Minoru." "I can't run anymore." "You can do it, Chiyoko." "Tsumura!" "Stop!" "Stop right there!" " Let me go!" "Please!" " Chiyoko!" "Excuse me, Mr. Yabe." "I want to talk to you." "Mind your own business!" "Don't interfere when I'm disciplining my daughter!" "Disciplining?" "What she did has destroyed my reputation." "Huh, that's a line we often hear." "So, are you saying you raise kids for reputation?" "What?" "!" "Isn't it normal to have a boyfriend when a girl becomes a woman?" "How does something as natural as that destroy your reputation?" "YOU!" "You or me, everyone is the same!" "It is natural for the opposite genders to show interest in each other." "When humans turn 12 or 13, the difference between boys and girls starts to show." "That is called puberty." "In other words, it's the second phase of growth." "What brings about the difference?" "That's because of the sex hormones in our bodies." "Male sex hormone transforms a boy into a man." "Facial hair appears, voice changes, and Adam's apple becomes prominent." "Female sex hormone makes the body curvy, enlarges the breasts, and develops the buttocks." "Boys and girls at this stage start to get close to each other." "And they become lovers." "No one can separate two persons who are in love, because nothing is more powerful than love in life." "How's that?" "Can that empty head of yours understand my words?" "You're so reliable, professor!" "If you understand, you should forgive your daughter." "She has the right to pick whom she loves." "Shut the fuck up!" "You know nothing about it." "Don't preach at me!" "He got close to my daughter for my money." "Impossible!" "That's too much, dad!" "Maybe you don't know it, but I've investigated his background." "You thief!" "When you were in middle school, you stole someone's wallet, didn't you?" "You can't be serious." "That's..." "Tsumura." "Any excuse?" "Chiyoko!" "Listen well." "He was about to be sent to a juvenile reformatory when people who sympathized with him saved him." "Dad..." "Tsumura." "Am I wrong?" "You are right, boss." "Did you hear that?" "Now his target is not just a wallet but my fortune!" "That's why I don't believe in romance." "Chiyoko." "Have you opened your eyes now?" "A man like him..." "I promise I will find a great guy for you to marry." "No, dad." "I don't care what others say." "I will marry Minoru." "What did you say?" "Chiyoko." "Didn't you hear what I said?" "He is a thief." "He didn't deny that." "I know that story, too." "I heard it from Minoru a long time ago." "Thief!" "What?" "Thief?" "Give up, now." "That's it." "I stole a wallet." "So I have no right to fall in love with you." "Do you understand, Miss?" "I'm not Miss." "I told you to call me Chiyoko." "Were you listening to what I've just said?" "I got caught when I stole a wallet." "Of course I was listening." "I understand what you just said." "You came from a poor family." "I can't imagine how you pulled through the hard times." "But I think you are amazing." "Amazing?" "Me?" "If I were you, I would have lost to poverty and become an eccentric person." "But you didn't." "You changed the way you live." "You strived hard and become an outstanding man." "I don't think I can achieve what you've achieved." "You flatter me." "It seems you haven't seen much of the world." "Because I don't know much of the world out there, you're sure to help me right?" "I know I've found my Mr. Right." "How beautiful the water is!" "So cold!" "Watch out, Miss." "Say Chiyoko!" "Have you forgotten our promise again?" "I don't wanna talk to you!" "Don't go there, it's dangerous, Chiyoko." "My." "Your shoes are all wet." "Too late now." "How nice." "I love romance more than science." "Well, it's a good thing that they nurtured their love." "No way!" "No way!" "I will never approve of it!" "Chiyoko." "You have to marry the guy whom I pick." " Waaaaa!" " It's alright." "All right." "I will give you money, Tsumura." "But you will have to give up on Chiyoko." "What?" "Dad!" "What are you talking about?" "!" "That's too much!" "You shut up." "So, Tsumura." "How much do you want?" "I don't want your money." "We just want to get married." "What are you doing, dad!" "Don't let me hear anymore of your bullshit, or I'll put a bullet in your chest." "Tsumura." "If you don't want to die here, you have to promise to break up with Chiyoko." "I'm sorry, boss." "I can't do that." "Please forgive us, dad." "Dad." "It's no use to try to threaten Minoru." "We won't change our mind." "Shut up!" "I won't forgive you even if you're my daughter." "Stop shooting!" "If you continue things will turn disastrous!" "Knock it off!" "You fool!" "See?" "I told you so." "Baby is here!" "Thanks." "Let's retreat in there." "Tsumura!" "It's all your fault!" "Because of you we are stuck in here." "Dad" "Stop it." "Aren't you the one who have caused this outcome?" "Never mind that." "We need to find a way out soon, or we will all die of starvation here." "You can't be serious." "I don't want to die." "What's your plan, boss?" "I don't want to die." "What is shining over there?" "That is..." "Stars!" "Maybe the shake just now made a hole there." "Even though there's a hole, it's way too high up there." "It's no use." "Damn it!" "Why would this happen?" "!" "Frustrating." "To have a way out but unable to reach it." "Hey!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Professor." "I smell something strange." "Oh no." "It's the odor of sulfur." "Because of the crash just now the gas found it's way out." "Okay, everyone." "We need to hurry, or we'll die of gas poisoning." "We need to figure out how to get out of here soon." "Boss, save us." "Please." "I have a wife and 3 kids." "Boss, I don't want to die either." "This is the end." "My company and my house that cost me 3 hundred million." "Everything..." "Dad." "Don't give up until the end." "Get hold of yourself." "Listen." "Even if I die here I will never approve of you guys." "We're in this mess because of you." "If I'm to die here, I can never rest in peace." "What a stubborn man." "Looks like he hasn't given up." "Oh no." "The smell of the gas is getting stronger." "You are right." "Melmo." "How many candies are you left with?" "About a quarter of the jar." "Although I don't feel like using them, there's no other way to save the lives of 11 people." "Okay." "Everyone, listen here." "There is only one way to get out of here." "What did you say?" "Really?" "Professor?" "What's the method?" "These are Melmo's miracle candies." "Taking these will turn us into birds so we can fly out from here." "What are you talking about?" "Miracle candies, you said?" "Become a bird, you said?" "Saying something as groundless as that..." "Even professor has finally..." "What?" "You don't believe me?" "Of course not." "I also didn't believe in the beginning." "Can't be helped." "Melmo you take some first." "Show them what the candy can do." "Okay." "Totoo, hold Touch for me." "Okay." "Look carefully everyone." "Melmo is going to prove my words." "What's the matter?" "Too bad, professor." "Have you forgotten birds can't see at night?" "It's probably better to turn into a mouse or something alike." "I see..." "Now you understand the power of this candy." "As human beings we can't get out from here, but it's possible after transforming." "The power of this candy is as true as your love." "Come, take some candies." "Professor, thank you!" "Quick, you all have some too." "This is your share." "I don't need something like that!" "What?" "You can't fool me with tricks like that!" "I bet that man has asked you to poison me with it, right?" "How could you be so stubborn?" "Stay away!" "Melmo, the candies..." "My candles..." "Sorry..." "This is the end." "To knock over the remaining candies is the one and only biggest failure in my life!" "Melmo, at least turn the children into mice and get them out of here." "How can I do that?" "Professor, I want all of us..." "The gas will fill this place up soon." "Be quick Melmo!" "What is this?" "A sprout from Cypress tree." "Must have fallen through the hole after the crash." "For all we know..." "If there were more blue candies..." "Quick!" "Everyone, take hold of a branch!" "We're saved!" "Is everyone here?" "Is everyone alright?" "Director Yabe is not here!" "Eh!" "Where's dad?" "He's still down there." "If we don't get him out of there, he'll die of gas poisoning!" "I'm not going down." "I don't wanna die." "Cowards!" "Isn't he your director?" "Okay." "I'll go save him." "Minoru, please be careful!" "Minoru, are you alright?" "Dad!" "Minoru, thank you!" "His heart rate is stable, he should be fine." "What will happen to Minoru and Chiyoko?" "Why, don't you worry." "Minoru has risked his life to save that stubborn old man." "A man will not mistreat his savior."
