"I shall attend to all the domestic alfairs from now on." "What?" "I hope you don't find my intentions objectionable." "But you said, housekeeping was for women." "And you said that this is Tokyo, where things are different." "I did, but..." "That way I can return your favor and help you with your life." "Uncle Yasube is going to cook us food?" "Indeed, I shall try my best to surpass your mother's cooking." "The way of the supermarket, one takes a basket in which he carries the items to be purchased."

"Pick up the thing on the left..." "The thing that looks like a top knot." "Can I ask you to pick up Tomoya from daycare?" "You want to give them gifts?" "No, you don't need to!" "What's wrong, Mr. Tomoya?" "He's a little feverish." "I don't want to eat." "You must." "Just have a spoonful." "Thank you." "I finished it." "That's great." "Um..." "I'm sorry about how I treated you." "Yes, I did it!" "Accomplishing your duty must feel good." "Nothing beats it!" "Where's Tomoya?" "In the bath?" "You could have called me."

"Point taken." "I won't use a sword in Tokyo." "You have to promise me!" "Only death will break the vow." "How morbid!" "Hey!" "Somebody might see us..." "Let them see us."

"A child will assist the father in the final." "You're a tiny little guy!" "Can you help your dad?" "He's not my dad." "Indeed, i have no family of my own." " Is this a problem?" " Yes." "Actually this might disqualify you..." "This is the Dad's Cake-Baking Contest." "You didn't mention that the contestant had to be a father!" "But it's for fathers..." "True I am not the boy's true father." "However we live under the same roof." "I provide him with paternal or should I say maternal care." "Every day I do my best to look after the boy." "That's right, he's more of a father than most dads!" "Are you suggesting that he will soon become his dad...?" " How dare you!" " What!" "OK, I'll see you at the final!" "Subtitle by Aldi Arman" "If Edo is to outdo Tokyo, I must fight this to the end." "The Dad's Cake-Baking Contest has begun." "Let's have a close look at the 3 finalists."

"How cute!" "Look how cute these windows are!" "I can imagine a princess up here." "I believe your motif is..." "A fairytale castle." "I think I've seen this shape before." "Let me just make sure." "What is this?" "Tower of Babel." "The Tower of Babel!" "I knew it." "Now, the Kijimas." "Whoops, they seem to be a tad behind!" "They've made the small parts, but there's no foundation yet." "Is that a Buddha's alter?" "See, they're at a disadvantage!" "More this way." "The steady-working Kijimas." "Judging from the father's attire, they might be making Edo castle." "There's less than 2 hours left now." "All parties are close to wrapping up." "After many hours, the spectators wait in silence." "What are these carriages made of?" "I used fondant icing." "Look at this marzipan person!" "The expression!" "These are...very unique." "Kind of on the scary side." "I'm rendering some rainwater stains." "It's a ninja climbing the castle wall." "And your attention to the Tower." "2 men are defending the castle." "I suppose they are Yasube and Tomoya." "Let's see what's in the window..." "Excuse me." "i'd like to show people what's in here if possible." "Look at this!" "It even has tatami mats!" "In the center or the room there's a woman in kimono." "I bet..." "Is this the wife?" "It's got to be the wife!" "The two men are protecting her from the ninja." "That's the story they are telling with the cake." "Step aside and rest." "The 10-hour-marathon cake baking is almost coming to an end." "All participants have demonstrated unique skills." "Which pair will seize the victory?" "Will it be the Sugiyamas?" "Or the Akimotos?"

"He wishes to engage my services at his sweet shop." "The way he swings his sword..." "I mean knives." "He sure is something." "He has a talent that is worth cultivating!" "I want him to work at my shop." "Yasube, go ahead!" "Do you agree?" "But then I won't be able to do domestic duties." "Never mind that!" "That's nothing to worry about." "Don't apply too much pressure Pull downwards and ease out." "That's good." "Sorry!" "No problem." "Tomoya, it's Mom!" "Tomoya, sorry I was late." "Looks like Yasube's been busy." ""A Japanese twist on pastries at Antoine"" "Does he still help you out?" "No, but that's how it used to be anyway." "Men are so useless." "Go to bed." "I'm not sleepy." "Did I wake you?" "I didn't know you were home." "Are you up early tomorrow?" "I'm up at 4 am." "You need to sleep!" "I'm way behind i_ the art of patisserie." "I must do my utmost to improve." "Congratulations on the job." "Is that for me?" "You have my gratitude." ""Keep it up, Tomoya  Hiroko"" "You've become so busy but with this we can hear your voice anytime." "Tomoya said that." "Ms. Hiroko..." "This is wrong." "That's odd..." "Isn't this heat right for petite casse?" "Hope it works out..." "Cood night." "There was no problem in the test run... it shouldn't take too long to debug it." "Right?" "Sorry." "Are you leaving?" "Sorry." "Redialing Yasube" "Connecting to the message service." "Tomoya, I'll do the rest." "Go to bed." "Thank you Tomoya, now come to bed." "If you cry, you know it would make Yasube upset." "I don't mind." "Why did I ask him to go in that cake contest?" "I wish I had't!" "Are you still up?" "Well I can't do this at work." "Mind if we have a talk?" "What troubles you?" "Do you think you could... spent an hour a day with Tomoya?" "Is something wrong with him?" "He cries everyday." "Is he unwell...?" "He cries because he misses you." "But Mr. Tomoya has you." "Don't you get it?" "It has to be you." "Remember what you said?" "You look after him like a father and mother." "That's how it was before I was employed." "Once in service, home duties do not concern men." "How convenient!" "You made a commitment you couldn't maintain." "I wanted to return your favor." "Well..." "So I wouldn't be a moocher." "So everything you did was to return a favor." "I did not say that." "The custard, the sword lessons were all out of duty!" "Just to pay back a favor!" "Have you been drinking?" "I'm not drunkt i'm working here!" "Maybe you can leave your workplace, Ms. Hirflko." "Attend the house while I earn the rice." "Then Mr. Tomoya won't be lonely." "I'm going to be promoted to chief pastry chef next month." "You could leave your work as my earnings would support us." "Have a break and spend some time with Mr. Tomoya." "You can't be serious..." "I am." "That's it." "Get out!" "I see." "If that is your wish." "I'm better off without you." "You'll tell your future dreams?" "Yes, at our graduation." "Wow, what do you want to be, Tomoya?" "I hope he comes to the graduation." "Do you think Uncle Yasube will come to the ceremony?" "Subtitle by Aldi Arman" "Listen, Tomoya." "Yes?" "I don't think Yasube will ever come back to us." "Why?" "Well, Yasube..." "Uncle Yasube's very busy with his work." "Now he has no time for us." "He can't live with us because he's busy?" "Sometimes things go that way." "Did Uncle Yasube say that?" "Did he really say that he couldn't live with us?" "He didn't say he couldn't..." "See!" "I'm, going to ask him myself." "And ask him to come back." "You can't!" "Is Tomoya feverish again?" "It's quite a high fever. i'll call his mother." "I'm so sorry..." "I just stepped out for a second." "And he's gone!" "Tomoya, Mommy is out looking for you." "If I'm not home, wait here." "Tomoya!" "Oh, shit!" "Yasube!" "Why are you here?" "That's what I want to ask you!" "Are you going to quit?" "What?" "Please don't quit!" "i need you!" "You inspire me!" "Okay!" "You're off the mark!" "I'm not quitting." "Now out of my way." "I'll look with you." "Find him, and I'll return to the team." "I'll do anything, so find him!" "Please." "Maybe he's gone to Jiyugaoka..." "No way!" "He would have to change trains twice..." "He could do it..." "He's observant." "Yasube influenced him a lot." "It's none of my business but maybe you should call that man, Yasube." "I know it's awkward." "You've gone weird over him..." "Be quiet!" "Is this Ms. Hiroko?" "What can I do for you?" "I'm exceptionally busy today." "Tomoya is missing." "He might try to reach you." "I understand." "What do you need the sword for!" "He might have been abducted..." "Are you Mr. Yasube?" "No time for introductions." "We'll split up." "I'll be stationed at the shop." "Tomoya!" "Is he an actor or something?" "I'll explain later." "He was here." "He asked me the way to Antoine." "I knew it...thank you!" "He isn't here." "Excuse me." "What is it?" "Ms. Hiroko." "He likes hiding in these kind of places." "I bet he wanted to surprise you." "Mr. Tomoya, it's OK to come out!" "Stop that vehicle!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "What are you doing?" "What's going on?" "Tomoya!" "Mommy." "Naughty!" "I was worried sick!" "Did you come looking for me?" "Most certainly." "Mr. Tomoya is my very precious..." "You're crying." "I'm not." "Didn't t tell you that real men never cry?" "What's the big idea!" "You crashed into my Ear!" "That man stood in front of me..." "Look at the huge dent you caused!" "Only a panel beater can fix it." "We want compensation." "What are you going to do about it?" "Allow me a look." "I detect no dent or scratch." "With no damage, there's no compensation." "Take your swindle and leave." "I'm not done!" "I made a vow." "Watch out!" "Stop!" "Yasube!" "No!" "You've had enough, bro." "Yeah, that's enough, man." "I wouldn't want you to get caught possessing a lethal weapon!" "Shit, this is bad!" "Halt right there!" "If I may..." "Be my guest." "Yasube!" "To be honest, I envied you, Ms. Hiroko." "Me?" "In Edo, I was with the public service group." "Edo!" "Can you be quiet for a minute?" "Sorry." "What do you do with the group?" "It's a group of men who has no official duty." "You don't do anything?" "Absolutely nothing." "I'm idle for most of the day." "How do you make a living...?" "Men like me live off the family salary." "Though my family doesn't make much." "I'm just a dirt-poor samurai." "Samurai...?" "Not now, later!" "I was desperate to work." "So Edo is where he..." "I'll explain tomorrow!" "I must confess the reason I came to Sugamo." "For what you'd call job hunting." "You were looking lor a job?" "A position had become available." "I was on my way to meet the middleman." "Just once..." "I wanted the experience of having work." "I prayed at the Buddha statue for that job." "I guess it's come true." "Mr. Tomoya, why don't I bake something when we return home?" "How about strawberry shortcake?" "Dr mille-feuille?" "I want custard!" "Don't you want something special?" "But that's what I really love, Uncle Yasube." "I love your caramel custard!" "Understood!" "I'll pick up some eggs..." "And some milk!" "I have come to realize what's precious to me." "I believe Mr. Tomoya needs me." "And i need him very much too." "And me?" "Needless to say." "Needless to say what?" "That I need you." "You're precious to me." "It's very important for the three of us to stay together." "Yes." "It seems that's the way I should lead my life." "Don't you want to go back to Edo?" "Ms. Hiroko, I'd appreciate it if you extended your generosity." "I'd be happy to." "I can't move my legs..." "How come?" "Seems like I must go." "No, come here!" "Maybe it's because my wish came true." "Don't go!" "Take me with you!" "Me too!" "No!" "Our life together has just begun!" "No!" "We shall meet again." "Some day..." "What about the custard!" "Yes, you made a promise!" "Yasube, what about the custard!" "What about the custard!" "Ryunosuke!" "Thank you, sir." "I'm going to be a doctor when I grow up." "Kayoko!" "Congratulations!" "Thank you, sir." "I want to be a florist when t grow up." "I'm going to be a football player." "Tomoya!" "He looks very mature suddenly." "He's gone through a lot..." "Congratulations!" "Thank you, sir." "When I grow up" "I'm going to be a samurai!" "He said he lived over there." "Let's go." "Oh..." "Do you want to eat some sweets?" ""Timeless Teahouse"" "Hello." "How do you read this?" "Custard." "The Famous Edo Custard." "It's a traditional dessert." "That's the founder." "What does it say?"
