"That's why I have to take responsibility" "Stop talking about responsibility!" "If you're only with me out of responsibility, I'd rather be alone!" "The one getting the scolding of his life right now is my brother." "About getting married or not..." "I need some time to think." "While my brother's pride was being torn to pieces, a slightly tiresome visitor was calling at the Sanada house." "Is it eyedrops from the second floor?" "Or stomach medicine?" "Which?" "Saigo, do your homework upstairs." "We have a customer..." "Sir?" "Sorry I haven't been keeping in touch." "Ahhh!" " Eh?" "What?" " I'm glad I came." "So you were here." "Stop it." "Didn't you promise not to see me anymore?" "Sorry." "But I couldn't forget you..." " Ah, um..." "Sir." " This is a nice place." "The last time I came, this was an apartment with many students boarding here." "Sure brings back memories..." "Stop reminiscing and go home!" "Um..." "Sir, I don't mean to be rude but..." "Ah, I forgot to introduce myself." "My name is Sotoyama." "Who?" "He's the man who killed me." "Eh?" "Ah, sorry about that." "About that..." "I really..." "I don't know how I should apologise...." "Don't worry about it, just go back." "I don't even want to see your face!" "You Death God!" " Megumi-san!" " Ah, yes?" "That's right..." "You haven't met Sotoyama-kun before." "Yes." "He gave off a peculiar kind of feeling..." "To put it nicely, it was peculiar..." "To put it badly..." " Peculiar." " Right." "No matter how you put it, he's peculiar." "But you did tell him not to come to our house anymore, right?" " Yeah." " It was a traffic accident, right?" "Ah, just to remind you all, this person is Rabbit-chan." "I, Tadokoro Rabbit, am your grandmother." "We've been calling him Grandpa all this while, but last week he turned out to be our Grandma." "But the fault wasn't completely on his side..." "She rushed out onto the road without heeding the traffic lights, and was even wearing headphones..." "While eating taiyaki, she tried to cut across the road..." "I understand." "Right after giving birth, she would naturally have cravings for sweet things." "Anyway, what was Mum doing that day again?" "Tsumo haneman 18000!" "(Note:" "I think it's some kind of mahjong winning combination.)" "Hahahaha!" "Landlady, you haven't been discarding any Tsumos at all." "(Note:" "Tsumo is probably the 'suit' of her mahjong tiles.)" "Give us a break, landlady." "Hey, want to eat some taiyaki?" "Who wants to eat taiyaki?" "Me!" "I'm going!" "She sure was a fun person, huh." "Well, if you were to put it nicely..." "Anyway, motorists on cars always have a greater responsibility than those on bicycles." "And on top of that, it was discovered that the man driving the car had been working for more than 20 days without resting." " How come?" " He was a newlywed." "Moreover, he was like Kazuo." "It was a shotgun marriage." "I cannot apologise enough!" "My baby will be born next month." "We haven't even had a wedding ceremony..." "For the sake of my wife and child, I gave up my breaks..." "That's my duty as a man..." "I understand, please get up." "I cannot apologise enough." "In the end, he was sentenced in court for 3 years for fatal negligence in the course of his job as a result of overwork." "I didn't file an appeal." "I wanted to atone for my sins properly and start over anew." "I felt that was the least I owed to the late Megumi-san and the bereaved." "However..." "Kazuo..." "Niko, Mitsuko, Shiro, Satsuki, the twins..." "I'm sorry!" "I'm so sorry!" "She appeared?" "Yes." "At first, it was almost every night." "You could see her clearly?" "She just kept on crying..." "But occasionally..." "What is it?" "Want to touch my boobs?" "Eh?" "Want to touch my boobs?" "Nah nah nah..." "Seriously?" "It's fine." "You're not a bad person, and you seem like you're reflecting on your mistakes." "Besides, on closer look you're kind of handsome." "In that case, couldn't you at least come nearer?" "I'm afraid I can't." "Then, please pardon my rudeness." " What the hell are you doing?" "!" " Sorry." " Did you touch them?" " Saigo." "It felt like she was toying with me..." "But I didn't mind." "Anyhow, I was starved for feminine company." "I gradually became attracted to her." "Eh?" "But she's a ghost." "And you're assailant and victim at that." "Yes, it was a hopeless love." "Like I said, you should put cold noodles into hot soup and eat them!" "Once, I fought with my cellmates over something really trivial, and got sent into solitary confinement." "Here, no one will disturb us." "Megumi-san." " Did you touch them?" " Saigo!" " That's all you ever ask!" " Many times, with her clothes on." "You touched them?" "You felt them?" " I was starved for feminine company." " That's not an answer." "Anyway, because all I could think of was how I wanted to be alone with her," "I kept on causing problems at the shared cell and kept on being sent into solitary..." "We talked about many things." "About her past job as a stripper, about her husband, about her kids..." "She told me that her eldest son was a serious and reliable person, and that she had high expectations for his future..." "In return, I showed her the photo of my child that my wife sent me..." "He's been like that the whole time." "Maybe we should send him for counselling." "Keep an eye on him." "I was like a spirit in hell..." "No, more like a crane in a garbage dump..." "To me, it was a very happy 5 years." " Eh, 5 years?" "!" " Didn't you just say he was sentenced for 3 years?" "He got an extended sentence for terrible behaviour." "He did it on purpose." "Against his conscience." "Still, it's hard to believe." "You mean that he can see our mother?" "Yes... that's what he said." "As if!" "I mean, she's dead." "Exactly." "This isn't Sex Sense." "Shiro, hear her out till she's done." " He was released from prison..." " And it's Sixth Sense!" "You must be an idiot to think it's Sex Sense!" "Continue." "He was released from prison and reinstated in the company, and he started to live with his wife and child, but he couldn't forget about Megumi-san no matter how much he tried..." "Huh?" "Don't shoot the messenger." "She's just telling it like she heard it." "He went on meeting her behind his wife's back." " Huh?" " Dad." "That's adultery!" "And with a dead person at that." " He said he ran into your father unexpectedly last year." " Ehh?" "!" "Me?" "This is tasty." "These crisps are the best." "Be sure not to drop any..." "Ah..." "Sorry I haven't been keeping in touch." "Ah..." "I should be saying that." "Satsuki~" "The twins have grown bigger too~" " Who is he?" " An old friend." "There's a family offer for crisps today..." " You've been released?" " Yes." "By rights I should have paid you a visit first thing..." "Ah, here's my new namecard..." "Ah, thank you." "I'll go another day to offer incense..." "No, please don't come anymore." "Actually, I... got remarried." "After the twins, we welcomed another son to the family." "So, please lie low." "Let's go." "Megumi was present then?" "You're kidding!" "Dad has zero sixth sense." " Yep." " If Dad couldn't see her," " there's no way we could have either." " Hey!" "How long have you been eating ice cream?" "Soon after that, Megumi-san disappeared." "Well, she had already departed to begin with." "Hahaha..." "I searched for her." "I tried to forget her." "But I couldn't." "I was so troubled that I was about to come here to ask your family about her." "I knew it would be rude to bother the bereaved who have already moved on from the past and are living in the present." "But I miss her." "Now, I don't care about anything else, I just miss her!" "Sotoyama-san, please calm down and think things over." " What about your wife and child..." " I left them." " Huh?" "!" " But I haven't lost anything." "I cut off all means of retreat and came here to propose to her." "What are you doing..." "Do you even realise what you're doing?" "I know." "But I can't turn back." "I'll visit you again when your husband is in." " You can see her." " Eh?" "I know." "This child should be able to see Megumi-san." "No way." "He's wrong, right?" "Saigo." "Exactly." "I mean, Saigo hasn't even met our mother." "Right." "We don't even have any photos of her." "Ah..." "Dad, who's this?" "No... it's not possible..." " Come to think of it..." " Eh?" "What?" "I did think that it was kind of weird." "He did stuff like shutting himself in the closet in the middle of the night..." " Did you drink that?" " T-This person did..." "Now and then he grumbles." "And he says grown-up stuff out of the blue." ""Because the family has a troublesome eldest son who keeps troublesome problems to himself, everyone can live life carefreely."" "He clearly got that from someone." " Oh no, this is creepy." " Me too!" "Someone said that being chubby is a talent too." "That someone was Mama, right?" "Right?" " Me me me me!" " Are you sure?" "Shiro." "We've been on a roll so far." " Pass." " Next." "I think I got slapped once." " Ouch!" " You can't do that, it's child abuse!" "Ah, there was that morning too!" "Did you do this?" "The ghost did it." "It's undoubtedly her." "That must have been Fish-cu." "That's Megumi's specialty dish." "She's here." "She's definitely here!" "Saigo, answer us honestly." "Can you see her?" "There you go again..." "She's here right now." "Oi oi, you must be kidding..." "Oh no... oh no..." "I'm so scared..." "Oi, Rabbit-chan!" "I'm scared too!" "She's leaning against that pillar and looking over here." "Yo!" " Where?" " There!" "She raised her right hand." "Ah, she lowered it." " She's doing a lame para-para dance." " Don't call it lame!" "Now she's really mad at me." "What's this..." "Now it's even more like Sex Sense!" "Shiro!" "You don't even know why it's called Sixth Sense, do you?" "Why?" "Why is it only Saigo who can see her and not us?" "Exactly." "You're not even related to her." "Sorry." "I don't know why, but I can see her." "I can hear her voice too..." "And her boobs..." "Did you touch them?" "Not yet." "But she said she'd let me later." " I don't remember saying anything of the sort." " You did!" "You said I could touch them anytime!" "Mama..." "You're lying." "Saigo, you're just playing around with us!" " Mama!" " She's not over there!" " Are you okay?" " Yep." "Saigo, have you counted us?" "Yep." "There are 11 people." "Definitely." "Come to think of it, I did think this spot was unusually empty." "This is the mother who gave birth to you." "Rokusuke and Nanao probably don't remember her, since they were only a year old then." " I don't remember her either." " You were only 3 years old, so I guess that's to be expected." "Shiro, what about you?" " She's hot..." " That's to be expected too, since you're a middle school student." "This is the last remaining photo we have of your mother." "Thanks to this photo I took, we got married and had you kids." "Stop it, it's embarrassing." "Why were you hiding it?" "So we could live while looking towards the future." "So we could welcome a new mother and a new brother, and move forward taking one step at a time." "Kazuo and Niko probably still remember." "The dark atmosphere that pervaded this house in the few months after the accident." " Yep." " It was depressing." "We didn't even talk." "After your mother died, I was in such shock that I couldn't take any more pictures of people." "Especially not of women." "Okay, now stand and do a pose." "Okay~" "Ah, that's a good one." "Ready, set..." "Sorry." "Shall we try again?" "The one who raised me up from rock bottom is your new mother." "Hahaha!" " Eh?" " Your expression was great." "I decided to marry her." "To brighten up this family again just like when you were with us, to make this a warm and happy place." "Together with the kids, we decided to name this store Hidamari." "(Note:" "It means a sunny spot.)" "Thanks to our new mother, we raised all of the kids well." "We had a hard time making ends meet, but we had fun together." "So, Megumi, while we're happy that you came to see us, please go back." " Eh?" "!" " Why?" "Are you chasing her out?" "One mother is enough." "With two of them... the picture gets blurred." "(Note:" "Perhaps the photographer's version of "too many cooks spoil the broth"?" ")" " I don't mind, you know." " I mind." "I mean, she's a ghost." "And she's invisible." "She could be running around with her mouth split open for all we know." " Isn't it scary?" " She looks relatively normal." "Rest in peace!" "Please return to the other world... to the spirit realm!" "She doesn't have to rest in peace!" "Eh?" " Mum..." " I've been your mother for 8 years." "Even with a ghost in the picture, it won't get blurred!" "So please don't worry about me." "But..." "I'm sorry." "I've kept quiet about it until now, but I... can see her too." "Eh?" "!" "Mama..." " For real?" " For real." "I've been feeling her presence for a very long time now." "I've always had a strong sixth sense." "Odd events have been happening in this house, like our store's wine getting depleted, the photo frame falling, the lights going out." "I thought that someone might be here." "But I was only sure on the day of Mitsuko's audition." "Sanada Mitsuko-san." " Shouldn't you go?" " I can't, there's a customer here." "Now!" "Now!" "Tatatata...!" "Now!" "Now!" "Now..." "Huh?" "She understood how I felt, and helped to chase away a customer who just wouldn't leave." "Since then, I've been able to see her on and off, but since this morning, I've been able to see her the whole time." "You should have said something earlier." "Why didn't you tell us until now?" "I didn't think you'd believe me, and it would be wrong to cause a fuss in case it drove her away." "We're lucky to have her here to watch over us." "She's not an evil spirit." "I'm positive that Megumi-san is here to protect our family from disasters." " She's our guardian spirit." " I'm not so sure about that..." "So, without making any fuss, and knowing that she's here even if we may not be able to see her, let's continue to live together like we've been doing till now." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "It doesn't matter whether we have 10 or 11 people." "We've always been a big family anyway." " Mother." " Mama." " Mother." " Mama." "Mother." "Um..." "Would you like to say a word?" "Eh..." "Ehhh?" "!" "Sorry to intrude." "She said, "Sorry to intrude."" "It's her own house, though." "Ah, I'm Megumi." "I'm usually over there." "I'm Megumi." "I'm usually over there." "Well, if you need anything, feel free to talk to me anytime." "Well, if you need anything, feel free to talk to me anytime." " That's all." " That's all." "Alright!" "Let's toss her into the air." "Eh?" " She can sit on this." " It's a portable shrine." " Get on, Mama." " Get on quickly!" "Eh, on that thing?" " Oh, she's here." " Careful!" " One, two!" " Hooray!" "Hooray!" "Hooray!" "Isn't it great, Megumi?" "Yep." "Hooray!" "♪ Living or dead, it doesn't matter even if we can't see you." "It's because we like you that we live together. ♪" "A few days later, Rabbit-chan went back to Kawagoe." "He wanted to introduce his lover to his eldest son and his wife." "Honjou-san, are you sure you're okay being with this kind of grandpa-like granny?" "Wrong." "He's just our Rabbit-chan." "Rabbit-chan!" "Please stop..." "If you do this kind of thing, I couldn't bear to go back." "Please go back." "When it gets hard over there, come back and visit again, Rabbit-chan." "Mm." "Thanks." "That was your Rabbit-chan~" " Bye-bye!" " Bye-bye!" "If you're related by blood, you can't see her, but if you're a complete stranger, you can." "But going by those principles, shouldn't you be able to see her too?" "It must be because she looks down on me." "She does?" "It was horrible." "Sanada!" "Sanada Hiroyuki, hurry up!" " Hurry, bring the diapers!" " Heyheyhey..." "Remember, in the past I used to work for a company selling baby supplies?" "Everytime another child was born, she had me deliver diapers to the house." "And for free at that." "...Hm?" "Diapers?" "Ah!" "It was Megumi-san who helped me out back then!" " You owe your life to her!" " I guess I do." "Eh?" "Looks like someone has been here." "Sorry to have kept you waiting." " Is it really impossible between us?" " Yes!" "Look, I'm dead." "And it's your fault." "I don't care about things like that." "I want to stay here." "I want to live here with everyone." "So that's enough, Sotoyama-san." "Wake up from your dream." "Go back to your wife." " Ah, big bro." " You beat me here." "Eh?" " Looks like Sotoyama-san has been here." " Ah, I see." " Because today's her anniversary." " Eh?" "That's right." "The 11th of December..." " I'm home." " Welcome back." "Where's your father?" "He said he was going to kill some time since he doesn't want to see Sotoyama-san." "Kazuo-san!" "I guess no matter how much time has passed, our relationship will always be that of the assailant and the bereaved after all." " Is she here?" " Yep." "Welcome home, Kazuo." "I'm back." "You seem a little down." "Are things going well with your girlfriend?" "Er..." "Let's talk about that another time..." "Um..." "Megumi-san." "What's up, Last Samurai?" "I am forever in your debt." "Kazuo-kun." " Kazuo-kun!" " Yes?" "You don't have to come anymore." "Am I being a bother?" "Nah..." "I just feel bad." "Making a student work so hard."
