"Turtles Swim Faster Than Expected" "Cast" "Ueno Juri" "Aoi Yuu" "Director and scriptwriter:" "Miki Satoshi" "[Diary of my life]" "Everyday I feed my turtle." "Everyday before my 23rd birthday, the only thing that needs me now is just this turtle, that's all." "Yes..." "I receive daily phone calls from my husband who was sent overseas." "Suzume, have you been feeding the turtle?" "Yea, I am." "Alright, okay." "What is "okay" about that?" "I was about to ask that when he hung up." "Hello?" "Suzume, did I tell you to look after the turtle?" "You already told me." "I have the urge to throw it out like this, but... in the end, as usual, my heart drew me towards it, and I would continue feeding him everyday." "Hello." "Kujaku?" "On the phone is Kujaku, my childhood friend since I was born." "We lived in the same town, but it's been a while since we've met." "Then it's at 1 o'clock?" "Don't be late." "Good afternoon." "Coming!" "Plumbing service!" "What is it?" "Over here." "Okay." "Sorry for intruding." "Hoohoo!" "I got it!" "Do you have these piling up?" "This brand does clog up the pipes." "Oh is that so?" "Yehh..." "They fill up the turtle's stomach, they'll also clog up your pipes." "Ah..." "Is that why?" "Hey you... if one day you find your toilet blocked, what would you do?" "Hmm..." "Squid meal." "Squid?" "There's such a thing, inside the squid is stuffed with rice and sweet filling." "Ahh..." "I found one before." "No way." "Yeah, really really!" "Inside, there wasn't much filling, but it was only part of it." "You can't be serious?" "Honest!" "It's true." "But it's really hard to believe it." "It's hard to believe, but it's true." "I can't believe that." "What!" "Are you doubting me!" "I mean..." "Then!" "Then...!" "I'll show you the evidence!" "Fine!" "I don't know why I became so hot tempered." "For him to show me the evidence of a squid meal clogging a toilet," "I went to the plumber's place." "I thought that it was impossible to be shown evidence of a squid clogging a toilet here." "Now do you see?" "Yeah..." "Eh.." "Got it?" "Well...." "That's good." "I'm leaving now." "Ah " "Shall I show you a fine mannequin that was thrown out?" "I'll be LEAVING now." "Hmmm..." "To get home, you'll have to walk back." "I didn't think I'd actually walk home... but I ended up walking back." "This 100-step stairs... today I'll set a new record." "Alright!" "If this flight of stairs take less than 30 seconds, something good will happen." "Ahhh!" "Help me, someone!" "Are you ok?" "Hm?" "Huh?" "[Spy] [now recruiting.]" "[Comprehensive interview]" "What's this?" "I waited in the coffee shop that I was supposed to meet with Kujaku." "But she didn't come." "To kill time, while making a liver out of a straw," ""Is my existence unimportant?" I thought to myself." "She couldn't see me?" "What are you doing, Kujaku-kun?" "Eh?" "You'll be late?" "How long?" "Two hours?" "!" "What's with that?" "Excuse me, customer." "Customer, here!" "What the...?" "As Kujaku said, she'll be two hours late, the one who will be waiting is me." "At the park, the old lady sitting at the bench today seems to be feeding ants." "If I remember right, she has been sitting there since I was in high school, she's been sitting there for at least 7 years." "Come to think about it, whether I am at home feeding the turtle now, or feeding the ants in the park, they are rather similar." "Probably the same kind." "It's sad to think that at this rate, if I'm like that old lady at the bench... people would forget about me while I die and not grieve over my death." "Should I go overseas for holiday?" "[Fujihara tofu store] *gasp*" "I'm so sorry." "Don't mind, don't mind." "Again, the store owner is going on an overseas holiday." "Huh?" "Always going overseas, isn't it meaningless?" "Yehh..." "Why... open a tofu store next to a pastry store?" "If there's water everywhere, the pastry's surface will deflate!" "So, why?" "Here, want to eat some?" "Ginkgo nuts." "Please excuse me." "Hey!" "Heyy!" "Heyyy!" "Ginkgo nuts!" "Ginkgo nuts!" "While running and trying to shake off that man, I got lost." "There, I discovered a strange thing." "What's that?" "[Eternal Salon]" "Out of desperation and curiosity," "I came to this salon." "May I help you?" "Ke?" "!" "?" "!" "Would you like an oriental style?" "Eh?" "Oriental style." "Ah, well," "I was wondering if I could have this style." "Sure." "Did you understand, old man?" "Thank you." "Ah, after getting a new hairstyle, my mood will change too right?" "Well, I don't know.." "doesn't that depend on the individual?" "Why did I end up in a salon in the first place?" "It's Kujaku's fault that I'm here and having to sit for 2 hours." "On the same day, Kujaku and I were born at the same hospital." "[Oogitani Kujaku] [Katakura Suzume]" "During our stay in the hospital, under the influence of Kujaku's mum, having heard her name her daughter 'Kujaku' (peacock) mum named me 'Suzume' (sparrow)." "Henceforth, we have been together through anything, our inseparable relationship continues till this day." "The problem is..." "no matter what I do, Kujaku always wins over me." "Yah!" "It's done!" "What decided it all was our bags- the seals on them." "By the way she sticks on her seals, was totally cool, whereas I was always unfashionable and dull." "Certainly, the way we stick on the seals reflected our lifestyles." "I'm sorry, but..." "I'll be dancing." "Huh?" "It'll be a little dance practice." "I have to do it no matter what." "Ok..." "I... have nothing to do in the salon... so I'll be dancing." "Thank goodness." "I was wondering what I should do if you didn't permit me to do so." "Oh.." "#That is why you are shining brightly and sparkling, why do I think of you all the time" "I don't know why I think his dancing is quite good... but I'm relieved.." "Oh, I remembered!" "When I was in high school, I was in the horticulture club." "Kujaku was going out with a big-scaled guy." "Alright ~ fight!" "She participated during high school pro-wrestling competitions." "I can't win against her with my sense of style, so using my creativity, made a fan that produces north-wind sounds." "Yahh!" "I was briefly reported about, and received 1.2 million yen." "[Female university student invents an interesting fan machine]" "I went shopping using 100 000 yen, saved up 100 000 yen... and I gave the remaining a hundred thousand yen to Kujaku." "All right!" "~" "Heyyy~~~~" "I went to the horse races," "I won 2 million yen..." "And then," "I was proposed to by a common man, and I accepted it." "Kujaku is single... hoping that in the future, she'll be able to live with a French man, with a Eiffel Tower view outside." "Kujaku?" "Yes?" "We will be here forever, right?" "Yes..." "And this is the current Kujaku, living her life dynamically." "What's with your hair?" "!" ""Eternal Salon"" "She made it this style here." "It's strange, isn't it?" "Huh?" "Lame~~~~~~~" "Shut up." "What's with that?" "I picked it up." "Eh, why?" "Because I'm lucky." "Could I borrow it for a while?" "I like Eraku!" "Why...?" "Why...?" "Somehow I want to eat ramen." "Sounds good." "Eh?" "!" "Do you know any nice ramen places?" "Over there." "It's narrow." "That place is really nice!" "Being together with Kujaku... we went to my favourite ramen shop in town." "[Ramen Sultana]" "Here." "Welcome." "What the hell is this?" "Such mediocre ramen.." "There's no taste or flavour to it." "Is that so?" "I like it though~" "You're too low-classed." "What's your favourite number?" "Six." "What do you like in your sushi?" "Kingfish." "So low-classed..." "What's your favourite saying?" "Um..." "Perfection of Wisdom (Buddhist saying)." "Ha." "You laughed at me." "That's because....." "IT'S NOT FUNNY!" "MAKE TASTIER RAMEN!" "Even though I haven't seen Kujaku for a while, I really like being with her." "She said as a photographer she has to go to Cambodia." "Suzumu, aren't you coming?" "I'm going by bus." "And as for me," "I'll be feeding my turtle everyday." "*sigh*" "Eh?" "!" "?" "This is no good... no one can see me." "Right now, the only thing who will acknowledge my existence is this dog." "If I continue like this..." "I'll gradually become smaller and vanish." "Is there no hope left?" "When I thought about this... something struck me." "Ah!" "[Spy]" "The spy poster what was that all about?" "Was it just a prank?" "Or was that an invitation to an evil scheme?" "Ah, hello." "We talked on the phone and he told me to come over in three days." "Thank you very much." "All right!" "I thought to myself, if anything happens to me... it'll be fine if Kujaku comes and rescues me." "With that kind of naive thoughts, I asked for her help." "[Kugitani]" "What is it?" "Ah." "Ehh..." "I talked to you on the phone a few days ago." "Sorry for being so rude to you before." "That's ok." "Look," "I'm bad at living my life, aren't I?" "So..." "Ehhh?" "!" "Here.." "Here.." "Sit." "Eh?" "It's soft." "Ah.." "Thank you." "You're really good at finding that poster" "It's wonderful you pass as a spy." "Yea." "Excuse me, what is a 'spy'?" "Spy means spy." "What are you doing, E-chan?" "Yes..." "I'm coming, I'm coming." "Today, because of the adverse stock-market factors, I had some work." "She's E-chan." "She's my wife, but she's a spy accomplice." "Nice to meet you," "I'm Etsuko." "Ah!" "Heyy - why are you sitting on Azuki panda!" "Hey, don't get mad." "Don't let her sit on it." "It was near me, what's wrong with letting her sit on it?" "Then why did you have to give her Azuki Panda?" "Oh well, that's true..." "Excuse me." "This is...?" "It's Azuki Panda." "Don't you think it's cute?" "A" "Azuki Pan" "Azuki Panda-chan~" "You can sing well." "I can indeed." "Excuse me..." "Ah, here, we have someone... who is interested in becoming a spy." "This is Katakura Suzume-san." "Oh.. may I call you Suzume?" "Sure." "You have money, don't you?" "Well.." "not really..." "Suzume-san... is it ok if you become a spy from today?" "We'll leave things to you." "Ehhhhh?" "5 million yen." "Funds for your (spy) job." "*gasps*" "Nonono" "I haven't thought about this yet." "Hey, what do you mean?" "Are we being made fun of?" "I am not making fun of you." "But I just wonder what's going on..." "Heyy, haven't you explained it properly to her yet?" "That's right." "Geez what are you doing?" "Because..." "Actually... we are spies from another country." "But!" "Currently you will be recruited as a Japanese spy." "To sum it up, the spy said you'll be a spy, did you hear that?" "Do you find that interesting?" "Yes, it's interesting" "Even if you say all of a sudden that I'm to be a spy...." "Could you try standing up?" "Okay." "She's fine." "She has the potential to be a spy." "I thought so right from the beginning." "I have been doing this business for a while, but the way you're so ordinary is really quite unusual." "To be ordinary is an amazing thing." "It is amazing." "Anyway, will you be able to take this job?" "You didn't say anything about it..." "Eh?" "!" "Can you do that?" "No." "So ordinary.." "Damn right." "Nononono..." "Hey?" "If she's too ordinary, won't it conversely make her unique?" "It'll make her a prodigy, won't it?" "Oh yehh, that's true." "Hahaha" "Hahaha" "Thank you very much." "Thank you very much." "Excuse me," "If I become a spy, what kind of things would I be doing?" "There's nothing much to do now." "What?" "If anything comes up, I'll contact you." "When will that be?" "I dunno..." "There haven't been anything for 12 years." "Speaking of which..." "No way..." "Anyways, from now on you'll be receiving special training." "Never forget for a second that you're a spy." "I don't get any of this." "Special training?" "What's that?" "To live normally." "To live normally...?" "That's right." "So to speak." "We're to live as we usually do." "Then why do you have to push me?" "Aren't I right, Shishimi-chan?" "It's "Suzume"." "For the time being, here's five million yen for joining our organisation." "I shouldn't take it though..." "Anyway, won't you use this money to do something about your hair?" "Does it look weird?" "Of course it does!" "Gee whiz." "Even Azuki Panda-chan is laughing at you." "Hue" "Hue he" "Hue he he" "Hue he he he" "Hue he he he he" "Hue he he he he he" "Hue he he he he he he" "A" "Azuki pan" "Azuki panda-chan~" "So that's how I became a spy." "For the time being, before they contact me again, I'm to live as per usual." "This is apparently spy activity." "Once again, I'm living my usual life everyday but the only difference is...." "Hue" "Hue he" "Hue he he" "Hue he he he" "Hue he he he hee" "The five million yen cash in the fridge is because I became a spy." "I began to feel really excited." "This feeling is like back when I was in primary school, when I pushed a tyre down these 100 steps." "When I think about it feeding my turtle and spy activities have similarities." "Hey, have you fed the turtle yet?" "Yepyep." "Wow... did something good happen to you?" "Nah..." "I get excited thinking about doing spy activities wherever I am." "I just want to live as inconspicuously as possible." "Hue" "Hue he" "Hue he he" "Hue he he he" "Hue he he he hee" "But what do they mean by 'normal'?" "How would I put out the futon in a normal fashion?" "Was the way I did it previously considered normal?" "Or is it the total opposite?" "What about hitting the futon?" "To hit while it's air-drying  or not?" "Or after I take it in?" "Thank you very much." "Somehow, my life has changed, and I returned back to my old hairstyle." "I bought myself a gift too." "To commemorate myself becoming a spy." "[Glasses, Watches]" "Yes?" "It's Etsuko." "What are you doing?" "Take off your sunglasses and go to the family restaurant ahead." "Yes..." "Hello." "That's a worry." "What?" "Why did you buy that sunglasses?" "Ahh... well, it gives me the feeling of being a spy..." "Shhh!" "Ah, I don't understand at all." "Who are you talking about being like a spy?" "Oh, I see." "Why did I say that, I wonder?" "I don't know." "By doing something like this, you will be caught by one of those around!" "This person seems to fit the spy description." "Shall we execute her?" "We'll make her weep." "Yes." "Stop it.." "please....!" "Why did you make her cry?" "Ah, no..." "I'm sorry." "It's a lie." "Don't cry!" "Ah." "Ah!" "Ah, what are you doing?" "I'm sorry, sorry." "Why are you doing that for?" "It's fine, it's fine." "How is it?" "Ah." "Wipe your tears with this." "What..." "Hey?" "Why were you crying again?" "It's all because you said that." "No way." "It's fine." "Anyway, before the commander comes, just live quietly." "Yes, yes." "In a way that you don't stand out." "It's not good to be conspicuous." "Excuse me." "Menu!" "Menu!" "Frankly speaking, you're the one being most conspicuous here." "Here you are, the menu." "This menu too, it looks like it'll be delicious too." "Hey, hold it there." "From there, please choose an order that will be hard for that waitress to remember." "When the police comes later, and ask what did Suzume order, she should not be able to answer." "This is the first time I look at a menu this way." "No matter what food I order, it seems like it'll be remembered." "What should I order, I wonder?" "May I have your order please?" "I'll have roast chicken meal." "Yes." "I'll have curry with vegetables meal." "Yes." "I'll have lasagne please." "Yes." "Sorry about the wait." "Here is your lasagne." "Um..." "The order for roast chicken meal?" "Mine." "Um..." "The order for curry vegetables" "Mine." "Hehh...?" "Then the next practice." "Choose ordinary items and buy a total of 3000 Yen in total." "Why 3000 Yen?" "It's not too cheap, and not too expensive." "I see." "When you're done, we'll have your receipt." "I got it." "Shopping at 3 in the afternoon, what would be considered normal for a housewife?" "Thinking about it deeply is difficult." "[Camembert cheese]" "[Camembert cheese]" "[pass]" "[pass]" "That was Kujaku." "That girl... what is she shopping for?" "Here it comes!" "Artichoke!" "That is quite a conspicuous item." "You may be just shopping, but this is spy activity for me." "Hue" "Hue he" "Hue he he" "Hue he he he" "Hue he he he hee" "Suzume." "Oh, hey." "Kujaku is shopping too?" "What did you buy?" "Nothing much." "I see." "It doesn't look like just anything to me." "What?" "Want to come over to my place?" "Hn, yeah sure." "While walking, I left the receipt hidden perfectly behind." "By doing such a spy-like activity," "Kujaku didn't notice it the slightest." "It's Etsuko." "60 marks." "Pass." "The way you handed over the receipt was especially well done." "And so this is how my first spy activity ended." "Even though it's not much different to the way I was living yesterday, why am I so tired?" "Here, tissue." "There are still many prizes to be won." "You get three tries to get it right." "Ah." "I'll take that." "Just once, alright?" "Yo!" "Oh." "You came just at the right time, replace me here for a bit." "Oh." "Alright." "Why I do not complain to Kujaku, there is a reason behind it." "One day, the town I lived in had a black out." "Being in the park, Katou-senpai, who lived in the same neighbourhood, appeared in his pyjamas." "That appearance left me feeling "puan~" (breathless)" "His hair, still wet from the shower, was wonderful." "You know..." "Hm?" "Once more, I want to see Katou-senpai's picturesque appearance." "When I said that, Kujaku... for my sake, thought of inflicting an electrical outage, by going to the neighbourhood's transformer substation, and cutting the power line with pruning shears." "Thanks to that, I was able to feel "puan~" (breathless) again, but electrocuted Kujaku's hair became frizzy." "As Kujaku was thought to have gone for a perm, she was fiercely reprimanded by the teacher." "Sorry..!" "Because of this, I owe Kujaku." "Please come again." "Ahh..." "Finally!" "Eh?" "Nononono," "I thought, finally, someone like you has arrived." "I see.." "Well you see, humans... have their luck already decided." "You look like you have got luck in you!" "Luck can be used on a big-scale, or small scale, it's different." "Oh no." "I was told not to be conspicuous." "If I get first prize here, what should I do?" "Ge." "I'm being watched." "This should be a time where everything's quiet..." "Well, shall we have you turn the wheel soon?" "I can't win." "I can't be conspicuous." "Please let me lose." "Oh no, you missed, you missed, tissue tissue." "Isn't it alright to want the tissue?" "That's strange." "You have two more tries." "Huh?" "What are you doing by yourself?" "Oh, where were you?" "Got a problem?" "Hey, did she get a grand prize?" "No, she didn't get it." "What are you doing!" "I'll be going to France and living with a guy!" "Then do it yourself." "Um, anything's fine, I'd like you to spin it quickly." "Alright." "Congratulations!" "Thank you!" "Now we have the prize winners for seine fishing and the barbecue competition!" "What is that..." "Why do I have to get the second prize of seine fishing?" "Because, you won it." "Besides, is seine fishing a holiday... or is it work?" "If you don't want to go, then don't talk back!" "What the hell is with you...!" "I'm going now." "Go, go to seine fishing!" "Just go!" "Go to it!" "After that," "I somehow met up with Shizuo-san and Etsuko-san." "They told me a lot about society." "From bacterium research, when one is delivering various dangerous substances, because she was scared of accidents while driving, she became a normal aunty taking the train." "[STOP]" "Amongst the many Stop signs, sometimes," ""pots"" "instead." "Pots." "Using a hundred quail eggs to make a dish, it isn't delicious." "What is this?" "If you left plastic bags outside for a long time, it becomes like this." "It's art.deco!" "By putting Burmese rosewood into water overnight, it became quite... a disgusting thing to look at." "Even if it all seems like a perfectly normal life, there are a lot of things that I don't know about." "I didn't know it... this espresso is delicious." "Isn't it?" "I knew it, I think the most delicious espresso in Japan is from here." "Ramen is only just moderate though." "I'm sorry about that." "Rather than ramen, why is your espresso delicious?" "Just water is fine, isn't it?" "Then perhaps the ramen will be delicious." "That's true." "I wonder why." "Think about it yourself." "It's fine." "Isn't it?" "Yeah..." "How about making this into a cafe?" "No way." "Then fine." "I'll just come to drink espresso." "If you don't eat ramen, I won't serve out espresso." "Just saying... why does this ramen taste so terrible?" "Can't help it." "It's not the ramen, you just criticise too much." "Look who's talking." "How much?" "Thank you." "It costs 630 yen." "Here you go." "Thanks for the meal." "Thank you." "So it's her, the new recruitment?" "Yup, she's an extremely normal spy." "She's called Shishimi-chan." "It's Suzume." "I see." "Nice to meet you." "Hm?" "The owner of the ramen store is a spy?" "Yup." "How many years has it been?" "As a ramen owner... 14 years perhaps?" "And he hasn't been discovered." "Neither has he improved." "It's not like he doesn't have the talent to make it though, a better taste." "An inconspicuous ramen flavour?" "Yes." "An inconspicuous flavour." "It's amazing." "To make it delicious would be easy, but, if it's delicious and gets popular, it will stand out." "To make mediocre food that is also edible is difficult indeed." "Everyone says the ramen here is mediocre too." "It's amazing isn't it?" "Mission has been hugely successful." "Kind of." "But if that is an act, you can actually make delicious ramen, right?" "But of course." "Ahh.." "someday... according to my own liking," "I want to try making delicious ramen..." "So the mediocre ramen had such deep meaning to it." "Why are you crying?" "Ah." "Mail!" "Shizuo-san, who is it from?" "Etsuko-san, it's better if you checked." "Shut up!" "What?" "Etsuko." "I got it." "Suzume, that's it for today." "If anything happens, we'll contact you." "I don't know what happened, but it was no mood to be asking questions." "After a few days," "I couldn't get through to them on the phone." "[Kugitani]" "Even when I went to visit, no one was in." "A while later," "Etsuko-san contacted me." "Hello." "Plumbing service!" "You're late!" "Be careful!" "Oh." "Be carefullll!" "I'm sorry!" "Hey!" "Sorry." "Although you're a plumber, you sure repaired it well." "Well, I somehow did it." "What?" "What... is it some sort of hobby, repairing doors?" "Cut it out." "So what do you need repaired?" "Well, it's the toilet... can you do something about it before my wife comes back?" "Well, without looking at it first, I don't know anything." "Don't be so cool." "I'm back." "Oh!" "Why are you so surprised?" "Ahh!" "Ahh~~" "You're here, turtle girl!" "What?" "You know him?" "Just a bit." "He's the plumber." "What business do you have with a plumber?" "I don't know." "Heh?" "You requested me here!" "Well.." "the toilet is clogged up." "What did you do?" "I was just being normal... would you take a quick look?" "Alright." "Well, excuse me." "Excuse me." "Go ahead." "Thanks." "Ah, over that side." "Got it, thanks." "Excuse me then." "I...." "I..." "I...." "I've never seen something like this before!" "What is it?" "Sir!" "It's not from anyone who eats little at all!" "You're exaggerating." "What did you eat?" "Just normal food." "Heh?" "But it's too big!" "No way..." "E-chan, go take a look." "What?" "!" "But this plumber could be telling lies for all you know!" "That's not it." "Really?" "Yes." "Well, can you take one look then?" "Then I'll just have a look... do you have a cigarette?" "Why?" "To base the size on something." "Eh?" "If you look at it, you'll know." "Really?" "Yes." "It's way too exaggerated." "Isn't it, Suzume-chan?" "Well..." "So?" "Hueh?" "Wait a second, Etsuko-san!" "No, I don't want to go see it!" "You did a good job." "I have been in this job for a long time," "I don't think I'll ever see a situation like that again." "Be careful from now on." "She's right." "What am I meant to do to be careful... well?" "What's wrong?" "I lost my slipper in there somewhere." "Oh well." "Sir, what is your current job?" "Eh?" "Is something wrong?" "No, not really, but..." "I mean.." "it's a working day and you're home." "Ah." "I was fired after some restructuring." "Ah.." "is that so?" "When he gets a job, he gets fired almost just as soon." "The knife hidden under the table.." "I just saw something I shouldn't have seen." "After many days of restless thoughts, something bizarre happened." "Welcome." "Ah, Katou-san." "Just one person today?" "Mmm.." "He is Katou-senpai." "My first love." "The reason for Kujaku's electrocution." "My childhood's most remembered memory." "Katou-senpai." "On top of that, last week on Saturday..." "I kept it quiet up till now, but" "Katou-senpai liked Suzume before, didn't he?" "Ehh... that's a lie, isn't it?" "No, it's true, it's true." "No way." "Because," "I heard it from the person himself." "Eh, why did you ask something like that?" "Eh?" "Because it's interesting." "What is this..." "Hey, if he still likes you now, what will you do?" "It wasn't anything of my concern what she talked about," "I was surprised." "The Katou-senpai whom I saw after such a long time... was with a strange son and a strange wife." "Your seat is right there." "I want to piss." "You just did just now didn't you?" "Suzume, do you want to do some acting classes?" "Hey, are you listening?" "Heh?" "Ah." "What kind of acting?" "I don't know that yet." "But once you start getting into it, you'll have to keep attending it, so..." "Wait, what are you doing?" "Tip of chicken wing Nazi." "Oh." "It is too." "It's a Nazi." "Isn't it?" "Yeah..." "Excuse me." "Beer." "Yes." "This is the first time we're like this." "Ahh..." "Well... that is true." "Hey..." "Within your body, ever since you were born, is there ever a place that you have never touched before?" "Ehh.." "no there isn't." "Um...?" "Wuah!" "Eh?" "What is it?" "WUAH!" "Eh, what what?" "I saw something amazing." "Wait, what is it?" "Don't look!" "Ah, you know..!" "Shoo, shoo!" "To people you don't know, you shouldn't bother them." "Wooooooooah" "Wooooah" "Woooooah" "This isn't a joke!" "Look!" "Thus so, my fleeting childhood love's memory was totally ruined." "Regardless of it now, 3 days ago," "I met up with Katou-senpai unexpectedly." "Hey, even until today," "I get the feeling that I'm missing something very important." "Yeah..." "That forgotten thing... can I get it back, I wonder?" "Yeah..." "You too, do not know what that forgotten thing is?" "Yeah..." "Hey..." "You... liked me before, is it true?" "Crap... that Kujaku must've said unnecessary things to him." "But the problem is with Katou-senpai's receding hairline." "Hey, if you were born again, what do you want to be?" "Heh?" "Hairline?" "(Hairline:" "Haegiwa)" "What?" "Ah, no.." "Hyena...?" "(Pronounced:" "Haiena)" "What are you talking about?" "What happened to your hair(line)?" "Hey..." "Should I take some responsibility?" "He's already lying to me." "I'll put my energy into it, I think I'll be a responsible man." "Yeah..." "What do you think?" "Want to be with me?" "Geh?" "Eh?" "I have to go." "We'll talk later." "Ever since then, I never saw Katou-senpai again." "Ten days after becoming a spy," "I suddenly joined the netting fish procession." "How come things turned out this way?" "What are you thinking about?" "Nothing much." "This feeling is so nice." "What feeling?" "You're smiling your head off." "Is seine fishing really so enjoyable?" "It's okay...but still fun." "Suzume, I envy you." "What are you talking about?" "That's what I'm thinking right now," "How should I say it..." "Perhaps compared with you, my life is perhaps a bit boring." "Eh?" "Weren't you living quite an exciting life?" "You say that..." "I lost the meaning of living." "Really?" "Should we go on a trip?" "To Egypt?" "Why Egypt?" "Don't know, it just came to mind." "Stop!" "Don't pull anymore!" "Seine fishing has been cancelled!" "Just when I was getting into enjoying seine fishing, we had suddenly netted in a corpse." "Our netting activity completely stopped." "Hello, this is the police station." "Yes." "Yes." "Ah, I see." "Okay." "Thank you." "Executive manager, your face is too scary." "Why do you always carry such a scary face?" "Sorry." "Don't laugh!" "It's even scarier." "By the way..." "What?" "The seine fish netters actually brought up a corpse." "Really?" "Yeah." "It seems our people are already investigating." "If it's as you say... then is it possible that the corpse was disposed by a spy?" "Do you mean how the corpse was discovered?" "It was pulled up by the fishing net." "Why didn't I know about this?" "Sorry." "Anyway, let's investigate first." "Okay." "I will inform our people to act now." "Do we need help?" "Yes, let me make a call first." "Hello." "Eh?" "Yesterday you returned pretty late." "It was amazing." "I met Schnist at Philippines' airport!" "The water is leaking..." "Why did you go on a vacation?" "To look around the world." "But while you're not here, my business is the only one that's open, it's a bit lonely." "Do you want to be happy?" "At the Philippines' airport," "I bought this." "What is it?" "It's amazing." "Sticky." "S.." "Sticky?" "Do you want to try it?" "Ah..." "You're right!" "It's super sticky and slippery." "Isn't it?" "Really, really!" "This is amazing..." "What is it?" "Is it medicine?" "I don't know." "I bought it because it was cheap." "I have no idea what it is though." "After doing nothing for 2, 3 days," "Shizou-san called and told me to go to a secret place." "And then he gave me something that I don't know how to use." "Could this be... the real thing?" "Of course, isn't that obvious?" "What would we use models for?" "I see..." "What do you mean "I see..."?" "Have you used a gun before?" "Only once." "Why are you angry?" "Hey, there are bullets in this gun." "If you don't be careful, you might accidentally shoot yourself and die." "Here, have this." "In short, I have to stay inconspicuous until I reach home." "If I was exposed, it might cost me my life." "The car in front of me, please stop!" "I shouldn't have anything for him to suspect me..." "I complied with the speed limit." "I have an unlucky feeling..." "What's up?" "I feel that you've always subtly complied with the speed laws." "Do you have something suspicious on you?" "No!" "Nothing at all." "Is that right..." "That's good then." "Traffic patrol officers are especially tricky." "Alright," "I will drive normally." "Drive normally..." "Drive normally..." "Drive normally..." "The car in front of me, please stop!" "What's up?" "You've violated the speed limit. 20km/h over the limit." "The corpse that was found in the fish net doesn't look Japanese." "So it seems." "As a prize to winning that lottery, this is too..." "What are you saying?" "Nothing, just a thought that suddenly occurred." "Is it true what you're saying?" "According to what chief is saying, this may be the spy's plan." "Our chief only eats curry bread, wears magnificent clothes and uses splendid bags." "Do you think it suits him?" "Probably." "Ah, by the way, someone reported that there's a spy hiding amongst the residents." "Hiding huh?" "How terrible... to go searching for a spy amongst ordinary people..." "The spy will always act suspicious." "You're right." "Ahhh, yesterday I slept with the pillow positioned in the wrong way." "What's that noise?" "!" "Ah, that." "What was that?" "It's Oozaku (snack)." "After it exploded, did you hear its scattering noise?" "You deserve to be called captain!" "Your ear is great!" "So slow." "What is he doing?" "The shooting teacher?" "Yes," "I can't wait for him to come." "I have a pistol, but I've never shot anything." "My heart is beating fast!" "Komodo dong dong dong~" "What kind of song is that?" "!" "Komodo dong dong dong~" "What is that you're saying?" "This?" "When I went somewhere new, I thought of this." "Komodo dong dong dong~" "Teach me teach me!" "Komodo dong dong dong~" "Spirits of trees (kodama) dong dong dong?" "No, it's "Dragon's (komodo) heart dong dong dong"" "Komodo dong dong dong~" "So persistent." "What is that?" "He's here." "You're late, what were you doing?" "Sorry, I was distracted by a lot of things." "What is that?" "Convenient tools." "Eh?" "Shooting teacher is Tofu shop's owner?" "!" "That's right." "Nice to meet you!" "How's the pastry shop's owner doing?" "He's a bit shocked." "The wafer cake filled with bean jam was real." "He was pretty smooth." "His face?" "No, I'm talking about interpersonal relationships." "Really?" "You scared me." "Also, he said he likes me, and confessed to me!" "Asked me to go with him to Thailand." "I don't want to go..." "Let me see." "Tofu shop owner used to be a mercenary soldier." "Sometimes he went abroad to carry assassination duties." "Really?" "Isn't this good?" "Did you notice that this gun is a bit slanted to the left?" "It's finally starting to get serious." "How should I say it..." "There'll be a time like this once every 3 years." "At the end, matters are still unsettled." "Really?" "But, if out of a millionth' chance," "Suzume, do you have someone that you want to see?" "Someone I want to see?" "In your case, someone you want to be with forever." "The unimaginable thing is," "I thought it's fine if I never saw my husband again." "After our conversation from this year's summer of "I'll leave the turtle in your hands", and "I got it."" "I thought we had been separated indefinitely." "Carefully thinking, it's really not a big deal parting with anyone in my life." "It's only until someone really dies that one would think," ""Ahhh, it was like that at that time."" "Looks like life works that way..." "Even though we know we won't meet again, it's still okay." "I still called Kujaku." ""The phone number you dialed is currently not in service." "Please call back later."" "What?" "She ran away." "[Return Money]" "[I have been tricked by Kujaku." "Idiot.]" "[Return the money you borrowed] Kujaku... after she borrowed money she just ran away" "You're right." "This sucks." "I lent her 550,000 Yen" "What should we do?" "Let's come up with something together..." "I think even if things didn't turn out this way," "I probably won't see Kujaku again." "Hello!" "Long time no see." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "!" "What is that?" "Since real armor is too expensive, I made one myself using cuttlefish" "Samurai armor..." "Do you want me to make you one?" "No need." "Dad, why don't you buy a cell phone?" "Then I can at least call you." "It's fine." "I'm fine the way it is." "I'm happy to have you come personally to visit me." "That may be true, but if something happened to you, what will you do?" "You don't get it, do you?" "If you knew and came right after I died, you'll be sad right?" "But if I had died for a while, you won't be as sad, right?" "Anyway, dad's fine so he won't die anytime soon." "I don't understand a word you're saying." "What happened to this?" "It broke while I was practicing." "Isn't this mine?" "While my husband's transfer abroad was decided, dad bought it for me." "He told me during lonely times this will sound the best." "However, it was troublesome to practice, so I gave it up." "Okay!" "Since you came all the way here, do you want to sumo wrestle?" "Okay!" "Ready..." "Start!" "Good!" "Good!" "Good!" "Dad is the winner!" "Not fair..." "I win I win!" "This is the first time I lost after graduating from high school." "Is it because I'm old?" "Am I not old too?" "You're right." "Rather than attacking from the top, it's easier to hit from the bottom." "Crap, I got dust all over myself." "Do you want tea or coffee?" "Either's fine." "Thanks." "Hey..." "Which part of you did mom like?" "I don't know..." "Ah, at that time, she said she likes a person who looks good when smiling." "Am I good at smiling I wonder?" "I wonder..." "Try smiling." "My smile..." "How is it?" "Isn't it good?" "Really?" "Great!" "Next time when I'm thinking of what to do, I'll just smile." "What?" "You don't know?" "Next time when I'm thinking of what to do, I'll just smile." "Is that so?" "Smile." "Smile." "Smile!" "~" "Smile." "Smile." "Smile~" "Smile." "Leave your shoes, clogs and footwear at Tachiba." "They do repairing too." "The phone number is 343-9292..." "Hey..." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "Whenever I'm free I come here and hear E-chan's voice." "Etsuko?" "Yes." "The person that's broadcasting..." "That's E-chan" "Isn't it pleasant?" "Not bad." "Can we talk?" "Yeah." "I want you to remember something from this announcement." "The secret code." "The secret code?" "Yes." ""South nation's greeting style, grand cabaret, fire dance, makes it so that even if it's winter, you still feel warm and welcomed."" "If she broadcasts these words, then something urgent has came up." "Is it "Grand cabaret, fire dance"?" "Right." "If you hear these words, go to the park immediately." "I understand." "Wait a minute, I'm off soon." "Okay." "I'll treat you guys to pork ribs." "Gather 10 chopstick envelopes from Gin-sushi please." "Presently, we are giving chirashi sushi as prizes." "Grand cabaret, fire dance, even if it's winter there is still warmth and welcomes." "If that announcement comes, what will happen to those two?" "Also, what will happen to me?" "Who came up with this security exercise?" "Of course it's people who do gymnastics." "Nonsense." "Can we not do it anymore?" "Sure." "But your health will worsen." "Sorry, we're late." "Let me do it according to the rules." "Everything's written on here." "The equipments needed to install the sewer." "You're pretty good." "Isn't the installation outlet too old?" "Of course!" "I searched for spy suspects' information, I will tell you later." "What, does that even work?" "This man is useless." "Hurry up!" "We don't have much time." "Okay." "Net the fish." "Look, this is quite easy really." "Is it so?" "Soooo easy!" "This is from Kujaku." "Yo, Suzume..." "This may seem sudden, but I've left Japan." "I want to live in a bigger part of the world." "But before I left, there's still something left for me to do..." "Do you remember?" "Our conversation from that time..." "Suzume, what music is playing in your heart right now?" "Music of my heart?" "It's the melody that always flows in the deepest part of your internal spirit." "At school... when going up and down the stairs, it's always flowing in your heart..." "Chopin's song." "I've always wondered what kind of person played this song." "I was always curious..." "Many times I wanted to look inside," "but in the end, I wasn't able to." "I didn't have the courage." "Maybe," "I might leave Japan." "Really?" "If this goes on, and I still can't look into that window, then..." "I'm sure I'll regret it for the rest of my life that I lived this way." "That is why I..." "Mr. Sawblade?" "!" "What the heck?" "Welcome." "Hello!" "How was seine fishing?" "It was great!" "I don't know which one makes me happier.. that or picking strawberries." "Ah...probably fishing." "I see." "Then... what about putt-putt golf?" "Fishing is definitely better." "Really?" "Yes." "Really..." "In that case" "Sorry, can I see that?" "Hold on." "Really...fishing is that fun huh?" ""The Southern country's way to welcome guests is grand cabaret, fire dance." "Even if it's winter you will still feel warm"." "Suddenly, the broadcast came that day." ""For you who are wary, please come join us." "Grand cabaret, fire dance." "Even if it's winter you will still feel warm"" "It's here." "No matter what mood you're in, if you're wary..." "This one?" "Sorry, I don't need to see it anymore." "I don't know why, but my heart was beating fast." "I had a dream when I was little." "A giant monster moved a couple of mountains near my house." "It feels like the monster is coming again, coming again..." "The warm cloudy day was strangely white all of a sudden." "It feels like I'm in that dream again." "Eh?" "What's up?" "Wasn't that broadcast just now a little strange?" "Really?" "My imagination perhaps." "Eh?" "What?" "Don't you feel that something's weird?" "Really?" "My imagination perhaps..." "This is what you wanted." "Excuse me." "Finally the day has come." "Yup." "What are you doing?" "Today," "I will make special ramen." "Is it really okay?" "You've always kept a low profile." "The ramen I serve to customers have always been mediocre, it's over there." "Then... that's the good tasting ramen?" "I eat this myself." "Really?" "!" "If you'd please, will you have some?" "Thanks for waiting." "So this is it?" "then I shall begin!" "It's delicious, this ramen!" "How's my ability?" "It's amazing." "This kind of ramen will attract guests." "Such a pity." "You have such great cooking ability, but you've always cooked mediocre ramen." "How should I say... you choose the road you walk on." "I... to taste such delicious ramen," "it's my first time." "Well then, isn't it important not to ruin the flavour with your tears?" "Welcome." "What... here?" "It can't be helped, this is the only place with vacancy." "But from the name, it seems disgusting." "Goodbye, Mr. Turtle." "Perhaps this is the last time I will see this town again." "While thinking and looking at the sunset," "I saw Katou-senpai's son." "Help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Elementary student drowning in river!" "A brave woman saw a student drowning and quickly saved him." "She has a turtle." "The student was taken good care of, but the mysterious woman's turtle was left on the scene..." "Showing up on TV means that not only my whole town but the whole country will recognize me." "Did you watch the TV?" "Yeah, there was a woman." "That's right." "The question is, why?" "Why did she help someone and then run away?" "There seems to be something suspicious." "Nothing we can do." "Should we try to find her?" "Did she leave a weird turtle behind?" "That's right." "Let's start with the turtle." "It's a testudo elephantopus." "Stop talking!" "What did they say?" "They've noticed Suzume." "That's bad." "Closed temporarily" "Owner" "We want to discuss something with you." "For a long time I was indebted to someone and closed the shop because of personal reasons" "Owner" "It's not working - the back door isn't open either." "Really..." "I've always thought that I've seen that turtle somewhere before." "You can't remember?" "It's definitely the second time I've seen it." "Take your time, you will be rewarded." "Eh?" "Why are you saying that?" "I just said it out of the blue." "What are you talking about?" "Life is full of things you cannot remember." "(meant to be life is full of unexpected things)" "Eh, maybe I said it wrong." "Did I word the saying right?" "Don't know." "Eh?" "No one is coming out." "Why not?" "Not home?" "My stomach suddenly hurts." "We can't find the turtle." "Ah, we can't do anything about it then." "Eh?" "Are you thinking of something that you can't remember?" "My stomach hurts!" "You okay?" "Don't mind me." "What's up?" "No one came." "That's bad!" "Is everyone going to come?" "What time is it?" "8:15" "What's that sound?" "I don't know..." "There it is again." "What is it?" "Doesn't it sound like a spring?" "Ah, a spring!" "Who's on a spring?" "Sorry!" "So it is a spring." "The town is filled with men in black." "In short, I must do something about it." "During life, if there isn't something one is willing to risk one's life for, then life is meaningless." "Why is it squid fried rice?" "What?" "Squid fried rice." "Really." "Eh?" "Hey hey hey hey..." "Is this cute?" "It is cute!" "Eh?" "What's happening?" "Electricity outage?" "Outage?" "Where's the circuit breaker?" "Ahhh!" "It hurts!" "Do you want to eat this?" "The electricity outage really helped out a lot." "It's too sour!" "How is it?" "Never seen this before." "Ahhh, sour!" "Electricity outage... only comes once every 10 years." "So sour!" "Electricity outage." "Ah... yes, yes." "Someone must've cut the electric lines." "It's not sour at all!" "Your face is still twisted." "Really?" "Sorry I'm late!" "What happened to your hair?" "We have no time left." "Hm?" "Could have been an electric shock perhaps..." "Code name is Cerberus." "The underworld's guard dog." "Your hair sure looks horrible." "Let's go." "Go." "Suzume, you stay here." "What?" "Go back to your old life." "What's happening?" "The top ordered us to leave Suzume out." "They said that she should stop the mission." "It's okay, they only say that..." "That's too much..." "Then, you take this." "No need." "If I take this money, it'll be suspicious." "I understand." "Take care." "Are we going to meet again?" "That's going to be hard..." "Here..." "I thought they would look back, but no one did." "This is also the last time I ever saw of them." "The memo that the ramen owner gave me was written the recipe for my favourite mediocre ramen." "After I arrived home, I immediately tried making it..." "And then...tears started coming out of my eyes." "Just like this, I returned to my normal life." "My name was revealed to the media and I received the reward money." "Perhaps it was from Katou-senpai's wife." "They gave me 5,000,000 yen." "Hi Mr. Turtle." "Also, Kujaku finally was able to live in a place that she could see the Eiffel Tower." "She lives with a French guy." "The irony is, her criminal charges is spying activities." "Of course she isn't one, but by chance she just picked up a letter exchanged between spies." "Kujaku!" "Here!" "You can stay here forever!" "Noooo... ;_;" "Eventually I'll have to save her someday" "I'll go get Kujaku back from here on." "Ueno Juri" "Aoi Yuu" "Iwamatsu Ryou" "Fuse Eri" "Matsushige Yutaka" "Muramatsu Toshifumi" "Hida Yasuto" "Kaname Jun" "Yoshiyuki Morishita" "Matsuoka Shunsuke" "Mizuhashi Kenji" "Nukumizu Youichi" "Okamoto Nobuto" "Shimada Kyuusaku" "Ibu Masatou"
