Akiya, phone call.

Yes.

It's Hitomi.

Buy some tofu later.

Hello Hitomi?

Oh, really?

Yes.

Really?

Yes, please.

Today marks the fourth day.

We've been heading north
along the west coast,

and we plan to cross
Bhutan around the 20th.

It's dry.

I wonder if cherry blossoms
are already blooming.

I'd like to have a meal with you.

Report number five.
April 7th, Kazuhisa.

That's it.

Yeah, probably in Bhutan by now.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, got it, so Friday then.

Yes, yes.

See you, bye-bye.

Open up, have mercy.

Open up, please open.

Who’s there?

Where's Akiya?

Akiya isn't here right now.

She usually lets me take a bath here.
Let me in.

Let me in.

I wanna take a bath.
Let me in.

Okay, okay, wait.

Let's have a beer.

Won't you wear a shirt?

What?

It's hot.

So Akiya went home.

And who are you?

I'm a friend of Akiya from high school.

I see.

Please, go ahead.

No thanks.

So, Akiya went back home
and you took over this place?

Not exactly.

Her boyfriend sends a letter
about once a week,

and I go deliver it to her house.

Akiya is busy, so it's hard
to come all the way from Saitama.

You shouldn't go through all
that trouble for her.

It’s because people keep
pampering her that she's like this.

It's your fault.

- Are you angry?
- I'm not angry.

- Then, I'll help myself.
- Go ahead.

Damn.

What a mess.

I can't take it anymore.
Why did I do that?

Yes, from here,
shift from forte to piano.

We need to decrescendo a bit here
to make it softer before coming in,

and then create a bit
more contrast between these.

Well, that's it for today.

Please practice that.

Alright, thanks for waiting. Come in.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Is it good?

Hey, tastes good?

Or bad?

If you eat so greedily,
you'll choke and die.

Eat slower.

Make sure to drink all your milk.

Akiya.

Hitomi.

You're early today.

My mom's not home right now.

Come in.

Excuse me.

Sorry, I got it dirty.

No, it's fine.

Hey, was Kun doing okay?

That guy, so annoying,
I got fed up.

Really?

But he's funny, right?

We worked together
when I was at the company.

And you know,
we got along pretty well.

And that's why he uses your bath?

Isn't that strange?

Is it?

There's nothing to it.

Even someone like that has a proper job.

Yeah, but it was just part-time.

He usually just hangs around.

- He seems that way.
- Right.

I'm job hunting, too.

What should I do?

So how's the new place?

The previous teacher is
on maternity leave for a year.

I've been filling in for her,
but now it seems she's not coming back.

But, well, playing the piano suits me,

so I think I might continue a bit longer.

The boss is really sleazy though.

Not that it matters to me,
but he really likes young girls.

He kinda follows me around,
which is a bit creepy.

But well, I guess it's okay.

But it's good that
you can play the piano.

You think?

I wish I'd gotten some qualification too.

Really?

If you don't have any,
the only thing left is clerical work.

- Boring, right?
- Yeah, I guess.

I have to start looking for a job soon.

And I'm about to
retire from the club.

I want to give it
my all until the end.

So I might not be able to
deliver the letters anymore.

I see.

I wonder when Kazuhisa will come back.

He said his visa expires in May,
so I think it's around then.

Oh, really?

Then what about the apartment?

He'll have to leave that by May too.

He'll be surprised when he comes back
and everything around you has changed.

You think so?

Well, it'll be alright.

- Do you mind?
- No.

Didn't you feel lonely not seeing
each other for three months?

Not really, I got used to it.

He appeared in my dreams.

Yeah, it's always been
like this with Kazuhisa.

I don't get if he's here or not.

It’s like I can’t
really tell what is real.

Even if you're here,

is the one here
really the real you?

Is this real,
the fact that you're here, I mean.

Like, how can I check
if this is really real?

I don't know, but that's why
I don't feel that lonely.

- Hey, can I eat this?
- Yeah.

This is really good.

Hey, what's going on
with that guy Gunji?

What happened to him?

That was ages ago.

Was it?

Then, what about that guy from Meiji?

Totally irrelevant.

So, what are you doing now?

Nothing at all.

Really?

Just taking it easy.

That's good, isn't it?

Can we talk?

I'm busy with work today.

What are you doing?

Don't follow me.

You're being mean.

Do you have any idea
how much I've spent on you?

Here.

32,800 yen, that's how much.

Did you hear?

Hey, hey! You there, wait.

Shall we go for some tea?

I won't drink tea with someone who
can't even remember my name, sorry.

Wait. Stop! Stop!

I'm on my way to work.
What are you doing here?

This is work for me.
These are newspapers and magazines.

Newspapers are 12 yen per kilogram and
if you bundle them up you can sell in bulk.

Wait, stop, stop, stop.

- I can drive you to your job.
- No thank you.

Let's eat when you're done,
where is your job?

I'm busy today.

So not eating?

Who's that?

That?

Doesn't matter.

Not my woman.

Let's go.

You put both hands together.
Just now, I played the left hand.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

I'm finished.

Good work. What are you
doing on the upcoming holiday?

Me? I don't have any particular plans.

Is that so? In that case, I've got
some movie tickets from a client.

Oh, really?

- Would you like to go?
- Is that okay?

There's two, invite someone.

Yes, thank you.

Yes, good work.

How's it going?

What the heck?

What the heck? That's rude.

I have it.

This is payback for last time.

You pulled a fast one on me.

Let me take a bath.

I'm going to see a movie.

Which one?

- This one.
- What?

Doesn't look that interesting.

It's supposed to be really good.

Why are you like that?

Sorry for being so late.

- That was interesting.
- You think?

What are you doing here?

Hitomi wanted to see a movie.

- You said you weren't interested.
- Sorry.

About the ticket.

How much you think it cost?

I don't have any money either.

- It's not our problem.
- Not your problem?

But have you calmed down now?

I apologized, didn't I?

I didn't want to, but
I got a call and things changed.

Ah, look at that.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I’m taking some fries.

Hey, those are mine.
Don't just take them.

You need to ask permission first.

So I can tell you "No."

You're silly.

Silly? That's right.
I'm just a silly girl.

Oh, it's late, I have to leave.

- Here, this is for you.
- Thank you.

Well then, bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Is that from Kazuhisa?

Living the good life, huh?

I'm jealous.

- Turn this way, will you.
- What is it?

He's in Nepal now?

Yeah.

How do you know?

I read it earlier.

Stop snooping.

Don't do it again.

It's been a while.

Let me know next time
you're going home.

You're right.

You and Hitomi have become
quite close, haven't you?

She even let me take a bath.

Yeah, in my house, no less.

You're funny.

What will you do about that place?

That place?

It'll be demolished soon.

Demolished?

Then what about my bath life?

You should properly go
to a public bathhouse.

Ah, Akiya.

How was it today? Any customers?

- Not really.
- Then I'll be a customer for you.

Amazing. This is it?

Is it always this quiet?

Yeah. Buy something.

Then, how about Beethoven, Schumann...

Schubert, Schumann, Dvorak,
you know, the usual stuff.

- What will it be then?
- Beethoven today.

Really, there were
a lot of those people.

Amazing.

Hey, Hitomi.

Are you free tomorrow for studying?

- I'm free.
- Really?

- You're getting this?
- Yeah.

Hey, how about we go for a picnic?

Sure.

The three of us in Kun's truck.

Right?

It's not fair, right?

Let's eat a bento. I'm hungry.

- I don't have a bento.
- I didn’t bring any.

You didn’t get any?

Then what are we gonna do?

There was a store on the way here.
Go buy some from there.

- Just go buy some.
- You should’ve brought them.

We don’t have any,
so just go get some.

Bento!

It's getting late.

He'll be here soon.

- You think he'll come?
- He will.

- Hey.
- What?

Kun's actually a really good guy.

Yeah, he is.

That's what I've been saying all along.

Are you in love?

No.

I don't really
fall in love with people.

But you said you'd be married
by the time you're 25, right?

That's completely different.

You know, Kun has no money,
he's irresponsible and...

Well, he's unusual,
but a good guy.

Right?

- Is that a compliment?
- It's a compliment.

When Kazuhisa comes back,
you should get married.

Yeah, I guess.

Ah, it's Kun.

Ouch, that scared me.

Even the cow got scared.

A big cow.

- I'm hungry again.
- What, already?

We just ate.

No need to react like that.

But you just ate a moment ago.

The cow?

What dish should we make?

Something like a cow salad?

Cows eat meat, right?

Then, it's a meat dish.
What kind would be good?

I don’t really want to eat
the area around the anus.

I saw it moving a while ago.

But meat is good.

Steak?

He said he likes steak earlier.

- Then let’s give it as a gift.
- We were talking about it.

Let's invite him to dinner.

He said that he liked meat
and he liked beef.

So let’s invite him to dinner,
and in return, we get one of his legs.

That might be good.

Then we can have a party
without spending much money.

What a ridiculous idea.

I'm sorry.

Should I use all of it?

Yeah, go ahead. He'll eat it.

Looks delicious, right?

You ate it!

- Is it good?
- It's good.

This should be enough.

- Maybe a little more.
- What about beer?

If it’s not there,
then there isn’t any.

Sorry.

Hitomi made this.

Hitomi made this.

Hitomi made this.

Hitomi made this.

And I chopped these carrots.

Which was the most delicious?

- The one with carrots.
- This?

Stop it!

Eat it up.

Here, eat this.

Why do I have to eat it?

It's a waste after all
the effort of making it.

- Then you eat it.
- Eat it.

Come on.

You're making a mess.

Good?

Okay, move aside.

Ouch.

I'm going home.

- Really? Going home?
- Yeah.

See you then.

Bye-bye.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

Today was fun, right?

Yeah, it was.

- Let's do it again.
- Yeah.

- The other day...
- Yeah?

I listened to a piano duo on TV.

It was really good, beautiful.

Really?

Who was it? What piece?

What was it?

Ravel, maybe, or
something starting with R or S.

Slavonic Dances?

Try some others.

Whose could it be?

Fauré?

Dvořák?

Franck?

Who else?

Satie?

Ibert?

I've forgotten.

Really?

Hello?

Ah, Kun?

Good morning.

Akiya left for work early today.

I also have to work.

Can't do.

Yeah, okay.

Your wallet?

My driver's license is in the wallet.

Exactly.

Yeah, I need it for work.

Bring it to me.

Yes, and also, the pants
and shirt I left yesterday,

I want you to wash them
and bring them too.

Shut up!

Hey!

Just bring it.

I'll give you the address,
you have something to write?

Hey.

Yes?

Where's my wallet?

I don't know.

What's wrong?

Lost your wallet?

No, no.

Whatever.

- Hey.
- What?

What are you doing today?

Nothing really. Why?

You say nothing but you
have me come over at this hour.

It's fine, isn't it?

Move that.

What about work today?

Well, today...

Somehow, I got tired halfway through,
so I skipped and came back home.

It's not school, you know.

Milk.

You know, you can't
keep doing this forever.

You want sugar, right?

I'll put it in.

Kun.

What are you doing?

Kun?

Kun.

Hey, wake up.

Hey. Wake up.

It's already night.

Hey?

Shall we go somewhere?

What are you talking about?

Look.

It's really beautiful outside.

It's pitch dark.

Let's go somewhere.

We went to the river yesterday.

But we haven't gone anywhere today.

That's true.

Please. It's so beautiful.

You can't see anything.

You know...

I want to go somewhere far away.

The farthest.

Please.

I'm off today.

Hey.

Hold me.

Well...

Idiot. I was kidding.

I don't like this.

- I'm going home.
- Wait, don't.

I'll go home.

Then, I'll go home too.

Where are you going home to?

I'll go to your place.

I don't want to.

I'll go.

Wait.

Hey.

Is this it?

Hey.

Just kidding.

Look, the moon is beautiful tonight.

Akiya.

Good morning.

- Did you sleep well?
- Yeah.

I have to go to work today.

Yeah, I guess so.

If you go outside and up the stairs,
there's a bathroom there.

Okay, got it.

- I'll be back later.
- Take care.

- I'll set the alarm for you.
- Got it.

- Yes?
- Um, is Kun here?

He is. He's inside.

Thanks, excuse me.

You should sleep inside.

No, it's fine.

What are you doing here?

Just hanging out for a bit.

Hey. Welcome.

What's this about?

What's this about?

So...

I went home,
and then Akiya came over.

And...

I needed to pee,
and after I did, I farted.

I don’t know why that happens.
It's strange.

Then Akiya said to take
responsibility before I do it.

Right Akiya?

Yeah, right.

But you know, actually, last night,
we slept here hugging each other.

Please give this to Kun.

It's for you.

Not opening it?

No, it's alright.

So annoying.

- Did you eat?
- Ah, thank you.

Is something wrong?

Well, I don't know.

It's like everyone's losing it.

Hey! Come on, wait.

I'll be going home then.

Hey, wait for me.

You don't know this area.

Don't run away.

Wait up.

It was just a joke.

Why are you mad?
Just say something.

I hate this.

Is this calculation correct?

Sorry, my mistake.

It's completely wrong.

Yes.

You seem a bit down lately.

That's not true.

Well, make sure you're okay.

- Are you done already?
- Yes.

Then, bring it to Tama and Chika.

We got a lot of oranges
sent from the countryside today.

Really?

We can't finish them all by ourselves.

Please take them to Kano's house.

Why me?

I have to go to work and I'm tired.

Got it.

There are so many.

She's always playing on that.

Probably wants someone to listen.

What is this?

- Sugar.
- Sugar, and what is this?

- Coffee.
- Coffee?

Hitomi.

Looks delicious.

Want some?

No thanks.

The record.

What?

The Sibelius record.

I forgot.

I've paid for it.

I received it a while ago.

I'm sorry.

Bring it over.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

- Going for a walk.
- Really?

What?

You know, next Wednesday.

Next Wednesday?

Kazuhisa is coming back.

Really? He's finally coming back.

Oh, that's great.

Then...

I'm heading back.

Yeah.

Bye-bye.

Here, this came for you.

Thank you.

I'll hand over the keys too.

What will you do?

What?

What will you do
when Kazuhisa comes back?

Well... I'm not sure.

You like Kun, don't you?

I don't really know.

I...

Were you studying?

Yeah.

I was surprised, hearing you
went back to your parents' home.

Really?

But you see, there was no way
to contact you from here.

Hitomi always brought me the postcards
that you sent to our place.

- Oh really?
- Yeah.

- You read them?
- I did.

You've gained some weight, haven't you?

Right?

- The food was good.
- I see.

- I ate burgers.
- I see.

The place must have suited you.

A souvenir.

What is it?

- Leaves.
- Really?

I know, it's the spicy ones.

For curry.

Thank you.

- Let's go.
- Yeah.
