"Teacher?" "Don't call me that" "When it comes to fishing, you are my teacher" "Can I ask you something?" "Teacher, when was the first time you color your hair?" "My hair?" "When was that...?" "Freshmen in high school...?" "No... it's junior 14... or was I 15 years old?" "I can't remember" "Master, don't let your mind wander when you're fishing" "You have to concentrate" "Didn't your parents say anything?" "About what?" "When you first color your hair" "My mom had a big shock" "What about your dad?" "My father was jumping mad" "He said:" ""what's wrong with having black hair"" "Then he dragged me around by the hair" "I told him it's not what he thinks" "But he wouldn't listen" "Episode 2" " Takuro" "Sis, what do you think of these plates?" " Not bad" " You think so too?" "Why?" "Someone I know from Kaikuugama gave them to me" "I broke some plates again yesterday" "It's pretty" "I got 15 of these" "Will Master be okay with it?" " Of course" " That's great!" " We can't use these" " Why not?" "Of course not!" "The colors are too complicated" "It might affect the taste of curry" "It's not suitable for use here." "No way!" "Why?" " Good afternoon" " Welcome" "Hi Master, good afternoon" " Master, coffee" " Sure" "Otonari-san, can you leave your store unattended?" "My wife is tending the store today" "Master!" " Do you have a moment?" " What is it?" "Just for a moment" "Excuse me" " What is it?" " Please have a look at this" "Are these plates not suitable for the store?" "Of course not." "They are too messy-looking" "Serving curry on this will affect the taste of the curry" "Really?" "When it comes to food, it's not just about taste" "Appearance affects the taste" " For instance, look at this yellow..." " Master..." "These plates... we can't use this?" "What is it?" "Try serving curry rice with it and see how it feels like" " No... that's not necessary" " What is it?" "Nothing..." " What do you think?" " About what?" "Emi says the plate doesn't go with the curry dish" "That's true, the color is a little too strong" " I can't believe this!" " What?" "You said it's pretty just this morning!" "Now, you're saying the opposite!" "But like what Emi said, the white plates that we're currently using, goes better with the curry dish" "I understand" "Azu!" "Stop it!" " Azu!" " What are you doing?" "Azu!" "Azu!" "What's with that kid?" "What happened?" "It got a little hysterical..." " Lily?" " No, it's Azu" "Azu?" "It's difficult..." "hiring young staff" "Please excuse that" "Hysteria..." "What's in the minds of young girls?" "Old mister, your haiku is missing a kigo [haiku:" "Japanese poetry] [kigo: season]" "I'm here... for the plates" "Welcome..." "Yet another today..." "A quarrelsome autumn morning" "There's kigo in it" "Honeymoon?" "What's wrong with your honeymoon?" "What happened?" "You wanna talk about it?" "I wouldn't know what happened, if all you do is cry" " Welcome" " Good afternoon" "What's going on?" " What is it?" " This customer is on her honeymoon" "But she just had a fight with her husband" "You promise you won't tell?" "Not a word" "What happened?" " I was attacked" " Attacked?" "I was violated" "By whom?" "Him" " Him?" " That guy just now?" "Your husband?" "Yes" "When was that?" "Last night" "But aren't you both married?" "That's right" "What happened?" "I promise I won't tell" "Can you tell us more details?" "He did something terrible to me" "Something terrible?" "Violence" " He hit you?" " No" "He forced me down suddenly" "But... isn't that what happens after you get married?" "It's not like that!" "He lifted my skirt... suddenly" " After that?" " I can't say it" " Why not?" " It's too embarrassing!" " Say it!" "He kept licking my toes" "I'm going to make a police report" "Wait a second!" "You just got married, right?" "Do you have any experience before that?" " What experience?" " Sleeping with a guy" "What are you talking about?" "I won't do that!" "It's rude to ask something like that" "People like her are nearing extinction" "Before that, were you not taught such things at home or at school?" "I know a little about those things" "But I've never been licked on the toes" "It's too much of a shock!" "Do you know how babies are made?" " Yes I know that" " How do they come about?" " When the sperm and egg fuse..." " I'm not talking about theories" "I'm referring to the practical side" "The practical side means..." "All men are big, bad wolves" " What is it?" " Don't ask!" "It's nothing." "It's best if you don't ask anything" "This matter requires some time." "Leave this to me" "Why don't you come to my cafe?" "We'll talk at length there, alright?" "Can I bother you for awhile?" "Sure" "Have a seat" "Thank you" "I'm here to return a gift" "Are the plates okay?" " Everyone was happy with it" " Really?" " They say it's good" " That's great!" "This is for you" "You shouldn't have..." "Have a seat" "The shape is very unique" "You don't have one?" "It's my first." "Thanks!" " What were you doing?" " Huh?" "I'm kneading the clay" "Like this..." "This is to remove air pockets from the clay" "It's said to take 3 years to master clay kneading" "I've been doing this since I came here" "You make bowls and stuff with this clay?" "That's right." "You use the wheel to shape the form" "I see..." "You don't know the potter's wheel?" "It's that over there" "I'll show you" "Amazing..." "After that, we set it to dry" "Then send it for firing at the kiln and it'll be done" "Taku!" "I'm sorry" "I'm in trouble" "Oh dear!" "There's a girl over at Taku's!" "A pretty and young girl" "And he's showing her how to use the wheel" "Taku-chan is a young lad after all" "But Tomoko left him in our care" "What if he did something funny with the girl?" "That'll be trouble" "I should get going" "You're welcome to come again" " I almost forgot!" " What?" "Since I met your teacher just now, I should thank him for the plates" "Don't..." "Are you kidding?" "You can't let him know." "I'll get a thrashing if he finds out" "I see..." "I'll get into trouble if you thank him" "About those plates, you have to keep it to yourself" "I understand" "Bye then, I'll stay in touch" " Left already?" " Eh?" "That young lady" "Yes" " The clay has been kneaded?" " Yes" " You're getting better now" " Thank you" "But be sure to remove the air pockets completely" "Yes" "That girl just now..." "who is she?" "Just someone I know" " Someone you know?" " Yes" " She's from Biei?" " No" " From Furano" " Furano?" " Yes" " Tomoko knows her too?" "No, she has nothing to do with Northern Clock" " When did you know her?" " Recently" " Where?" " At the supermarket" " Supermarket?" " You made a pass at her?" " No, I didn't" "But you..." "That's alright..." "Just be careful when making friends" "Have you trash all the plates that I told you to yesterday?" "Eh... ah...." "Yes... no..." "I'm gonna use them for something." "Bring them to my work area" "Ah... yes!" "(There is a storm alert in Hokkaido area)" "Azu-chan, sorry." "I have a slight problem here" "My Teacher wants to use those plates for something and asked me to bring them over" "I'm so sorry about this." "I'll give you other plates next time" "Can you return me those plates as soon as you can?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "I'm listening" "I can come over now." "Where should I meet you?" "How about the supermarket parking lot?" "Can you bring them there?" "Hello?" "(Taku)" "Sorry, I lost the line." "So..." " It's gone" " Eh?" "It's gone... those plates..." " Gone..?" " Yes" "Gone...?" "You mean..." "I broke them..." "All of them" "You broke them?" "All of it?" "I'm sorry" "Ok, I know." "I'll think of something else, bye" "What is it?" "Teacher, those plates..." "I've smashed them all" "The broken pieces are fine." "Bring them here" "Broken pieces?" "I want to mix the pieces with the clay and fire it again, to create a mosaic-like effect" "Ah... yes!" "Hello..." "The broken pieces are fine." "Do you still have them?" " Broken pieces?" " The smashed bits of the plates" " The broken bits" " I think they are still there..." "Please!" "I need them back." "Can you find them?" "Hurry!" "I know" " Welcome" " Welcome" " It's not raining over here" " But it's hot" "The weather is totally different over there." "The rain is really heavy" "I can't even see the mountains." "Oh yes, Master!" "These are my winnings." "Have some" "I'm always troubling you" "Azu, what are you doing now?" "You don't tell me where you're going, coming and leaving as you please" "I'll explain later" " Sis, where are the broken pieces?" " The plates?" "I dumped it in a box and trash it" "Hello, Taku?" "It's Azu" " I found it!" " You did?" "I'm going over now" "Welcome" "It's gotten serious on 6th Street" "What happened?" "There's scattered storms in the mountain areas" "All the fields there are flooded" "But it's sunshine over here" "That shows how big Furano is" "Sunshine on the west areas and storms at the east" "(Kaikuugama)" "(The number you're dialling cannot be reached...)" "Are you alright?" "The broken pieces..." "Let's go!" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine" "It's not exactly clean" "I'll leave the clothes here." "You can change into them" "Thank you" "I should've gone and get it from you" "I wonder what happened to the car?" "Will it be washed away?" "There ain't that much water to wash it away" "This is the first time I'm in a guy's room" "This used to be Teacher's home" "Sis will give me a dressing down if she finds out about this" "By the time the clothes dry, the water would have subsided" "You can go get the car then" " I'll be late getting back" " Yeah, it's gonna be for awhile" "I should make a call..." "I'm coming out now, can you leave the room?" "I won't look" "Even if you don't" "But this is my place" "Hello, is this the Forest Clock?" "This is Azu" "That..." "Is Master there?" " Master?" " Huh?" "The newlywed couple this morning, that guy is here" "He's asking where she is" "Didn't you tell him she's at Northern Clock?" "But before that Master..." "you should have a good talk with him" "About what?" "Both of them are really young" "Although the bride is a little extreme, it's cause the groom was licking her toes all of a sudden" "Why don't you talk to him?" "Don't you feel cold?" "You are welcome to come in if you don't mind" "I heard about what happened to your wife" "What did she say?" "That she was violated.... by you" "Nonsense!" "I thought so too" "But..." "Everyone grows up and matures in different ways" "Sit" "The world is moving very fast" "Most young people may expect everyone to know all the strange ways of life" "But there are some who don't know, those that are left behind" "So there should be a certain level of understanding when you are with them for the first time" "Have you heard of the story of General Nogi?" "Who's that?" "This General Nogi...." "He's a great man" "He's an ancient figure" "On his wedding night..." "He clasped his hands and said to his wife:" ""For the sake of my descendants, please forgive me"" "And he forced his wife down" "What stupid things am I talking about..." "What I'm trying to say is..." "no matter when, manners are very important" "You understand?" "Women may seem strong, but they are really very fragile" "No..." "They may seem fragile, but they can be really strong" "My words is easy to understand..." "Have you had a lot of experience with other girls?" "No... this is my first time" "This is really your first time?" "Yes" "Then you'll start now" "It's a beginning of everything from now" "Women are cute" "If you aren't gentle with them..." "Let's go" "The Ma'am at Northern Clock took good care of me" "And..." "I'm here to pay for the coffee for this morning" "No, that's not necessary." "Treat it as a wedding gift from me" "That won't do" "Please pay 520 yen" "Yes!" "Sorry about that" "What's on your mind?" "Master-san..." "I'm thinking about things concerning Takuro" "What things?" "Just now..." "I was attempting to teach a young man some things" "I always wondered if I could communicate with people of that generation" "Thinking about it, I realized I've never taught him anything" "I don't have many memories of us chatting together" "Does he know anything about manners?" "Surprisingly, he does" "Even though he joined the street racers gang?" "I'm pretty strict when it comes to discipline" "He may be aloof when he does things but he's well-mannered in his language" " Does he greets you politely?" " Yes" "What about his attitude towards neighbors and other people?" "He's always been good" "I see..." "I don't know anything about this" "Even though he's my son" "You've always been busy with work" "There'll be more chances from now" "I wish we can be like we used to, with him, as if nothing's happened" "Megumi?" "Do you think there'll be a day like that?" "If you can open your heart" "My heart..." "When you open your heart and love that child" "I say..." "Is someone loving him now...?" "Is there someone..." "who's willing to love him?" "There will be..." "someone must be loving him deeply" "Hey..." "Who's that woman in the picture?" "My mother" "Where is she now?" "She's dead" "What are you doing?" "It's a nail brush, not a toothbrush" "(Hello, is this the Forest Clock?" ")" "What...?"
