Original subtitles

You are...

Wait please...!

You're Sengoku-kun's mother, right?

Ah, Harumi-san. Welcome. - Hello.

Please take a seat wherever you like.

Over here.

Hello. Airi, Seiichiro, let's go home.

Yes. - Take your shoes.

Can you put them on?

What's this? This flower.

It's nice, isn't it? I got them at my birthday party today.

Here, we celebrate

the children whose birthdays fall in that month at the beginning of the month.

Oh damn... I totally forgot about Airi's birthday.

And it's already next week...

Seriously, what even do you do for a kid's birthday?

For us, we eat cake, sing songs,

and then give presents, I guess.

I see...

Nah, I grew up in a house with zero birthday celebration culture,

so I have no clue at all about that stuff.

When my dad was around, he just drank and caused trouble all the time.

Even after it was just me and my mom, she was always working and left me alone.

Well, I'm not sure how much I can do,

but I want to do it right for Airi.

Um...

Dad, finish it up!

Coming.

Alright. Here, let me borrow it. - Mine too.

Alright. Hmm.

She was at the kindergarten?

Yes...

Huh...?

How did she even find out about Airi in the first place?

Apparently, your boss' wife had been keeping in contact regularly with her for a while.

What the hell is that supposed to mean...?

She said she never intended to meet you in the first place.

I held back for so long...

I just desperately wanted to see her, even just once...

I know it's too late now.

...It's really too late now.

Sengoku-kun. - What is it?

I got her contact info. How about meeting her once...?

Huh?

And then, if you feel like you could let her see Airi-chan... - No way.

I've got nothing to talk with her.

But... - But what?

You don't want to see her again for the rest of your life...?

I really think you've been through a lot...

but I feel like you should talk properly at least once.

For your own sake, Sengoku-kun... - I told you I don't want to!

I just want you to...

You think someone like you... who grew up in a happy home could ever understand?

Papa and Daddy's Home Cooking

We will be closed on Saturday, October 15th in the afternoon. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding

Thank you!

Man~ I'm really looking forward to Airi's birthday.

Oh, I'll start figuring out what kind of present she'd like.

Hey! Are you listening?

Tatsuya... Can I leave the closing up to you, after we finish work today?

Eh?... Sure, no problem. What's up?

I've got somewhere to go.

Right, she came to see me.

How long have you two been in touch?

Ever since you left home and started working here, she came by to introduce herself. Since then.

That long...

But she said if you found out she was talking to me, you'd probably get upset, so she asked me not to tell you...

Is that so...

Your mom, you see... She's been worried about you all this time.

She was so happy you stopped fighting and started working seriously.

And about Airi-chan too...

There she is.

The way she's smiling... it's just like Tetsu used to...

I'm sorry for doing this without asking you.

No... I'm the one who caused trouble.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Tetsu-kun.

Why don't you meet her...?

You know it was really hard running away

from your father with you, right?

She cares about you deeply.

Beep beep! Beep beep! Shut the hell up!!

Get up! I said get up! - Stop!!

Don't hit Tetsu!

Mom, where are we going?

It's okay. Mom will be by your side...

You're back, huh.

Yeah...

...Sorry about yesterday.

No... I'm the one who should apologize.

By trying to do what I thought was best...I hurt you, Sengoku-kun

I was arrogant.

I went to my boss' place today.

Eh?

His wife told me the same. She said I should try meeting her once.

I know.

I get that both you and my boss' wife are telling me this for my sake...

The way she struggled alone with work and taking care of me without anyone's help...

Well, I guess I sort of understand that now.

But I just can't bring myself to meet her...

I'm sorry...

There's nothing to apologize for.

This isn't the time to be grumbling around. Airi's birthday is coming up...

Let's just have a quick strategy meeting. I'll hop in the bath real quick.

Okay.

Hello...?

Airi-chan wanted a big piece of meat, right?

She absolutely insisted on that for her birthday. - Then,

let's go with roast chicken.

Roast chicken? - Yes.

Ta-da! - Whoa... That's amazing!

It's huge and looks so impressive.

And for the side, pumpkin soup.

I see... But can we even make that at home?

Yeah. Once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard.

I've been making it at home since I was a student. I learned it for Akane's birthday.

That's unusual. An older sister cooking a special meal for her younger sister's birthday.

Ah... I was like a parent to her.

Eh?

Ah... Mom didn't cook, and Dad was practically absent,

so I always looked after her.

That's why our family's cooking taste isn't my mom's, it's mine.

...You're amazing.

Really? - Yeah,

you're amazing. Actually, so cool.

That makes me happy. Hearing you say that.

Hearing stuff like that

makes me want to cook something delicious for my family at home too.

For a kid, it can make a world of difference just by having that.

I'll teach you a delicious recipe.

Let's make you a first-class roast chicken dad.

No way, I'm not saying that.

It just suddenly came to me. - Just now!?

We will be closed on Saturday, October 15th in the afternoon. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding

Tetsu-chan, are you off this afternoon?

Yeah, today... Airi...

It's my daughter's birthday.

What's that supposed to mean?

Delicious. Alright...

This...

Don't open your eyes~.

Alright, this way.

Come over here...

Okay, you can open your eyes now!

Amazing!!

The room is sparkling!

Happy birthday!

Wow...!

Sengoku-kun decorated it for Airi-chan.

Huh? Dad did it? Thank you!

Yeah.

And, there's also this.

Today, Airi's the star.

Yay!!

Airi-chan, congratulations!

I'm the princess of this kingdom.

Alright, next we'll dance.

Oh, sorry, I got to finish dinner.

Eh! Let's play more!

If you keep saying that, we won't get to eat.

Then I'll help you, Dad.

Airi-chan, let's play together and wait.

That's right. I'll do everything the princess asks.

Hmm...

Sorry, I'll leave it to you. - Yes.

Airi-chan, what should we play?

I'll become a horse!! - Oh! Look!

It's a horse. Clip-clop - I want to ride the horse!

Seiichiro, you wanna ride too? - Clip-clop

Jaan! - Smells good!

It does smell nice. I wonder what it is? Spinning~

Okay...

That's dangerous!!

Hey! That knife isn't a toy! If you don't know how to hold it you can get hurt!

Beep beep, beep beep... - A knife is not a toy!

If you don't know how to hold it you can get hurt! - You think crying will fix it?!

Airi-chan, aren't you hurt?

Sengoku-kun was worried you might be hurt, Airi-chan.

It's okay, don't be scared.

Sorry... I'm gonna cool off for a bit.

Are you okay?

... I guess I can't do this.

Eh?

I hated how he was so much, but I'm just like my father.

Losing my temper, yelling...

In the end, someone raised by terrible parents can't possibly raise their own kids properly.

Don't say crazy things!!

Sengoku-kun, you got angry because you were worried about Airi-chan, right?

There's a difference between just being violent and getting angry because you care about your child.

The whole day today, you prepared all that stuff for Airi-chan's sake...

Sengoku-kun, you're a wonderful father, isn't that right?

Airi, listen...

I'm sorry. - Eh...?

Dad, I'm sorry for doing something dangerous.

It seems like Airi-chan wasn't just crying because she was scared.

She was lonely.

...Lonely?

Yeah.

She said she was lonely because you weren't paying attention to her.

I see...

I'm sorry.

Alright... Let's restart the birthday party then.

Yeah! - Yeah.

Here's the big piece of meat you've all been waiting for.

Here we go~!

Amazing!!

Wow!

Thanks for the food!!

Mmm! It's perfect.

This is insane!

- Eat it slowly and savor it.

Mmm!

Here we go...

Sengoku-kun, this...

Actually, I got this from your mother a few days ago.

Airi-chan... her birthday's coming up soon, right?

Tell Tetsu to take care too.

And tell him not to worry, I won't show up in front of her anymore.

And tell him I'm sorry...

I'm sorry I couldn't do things like this for him when he was a kid...

Alright then, Mom is leaving now. If you get hungry, there's bread.

I'm leaving.

Oh I see... Maybe I was feeling just like Airi felt earlier.

Eh?

Maybe I wasn't resentful of my mom,

just lonely because she didn't pay attention to me...

Even though I knew it was inevitable that I couldn't be with her

I couldn't accept it when I was a kid...

Running away all the time… maybe that's not really like me, huh…

It's the one I wanted! YEAH!

Tetsu-san searched all over, going to tons of different stores you know?

Don't go saying that, you!

Thanks, Dad.

Thanks, everyone!

You're welcome.

Can I open this? - Yeah, I think so.

Opening it? - Yeah.

Airi.

This is from Dad's mother, your grandmother.

Dad's mother?

Open it.

So cute~!

I'm glad you like it.

Yeah!

Tell grandma thanks for me too.

Sure thing. Leave it to me.

Meow! - Chomp!

Meow! - Chomp! Chomp!

"I gave Airi your gift."

"She said tell grandma ‘Thanks!’"

Alright... Back to work this afternoon too!

Struggling through the dazzling night and day

Things don't go as planned, and there's a lot of anxiety

But I'm not the only one trying my hardest

You're the same too

Ah-Even if you're different from everyone else,

Don't compare yourself to others, believe in yourself, and it'll be okay.

Now, after, we all eat lots of delicious food together

Let's try our best again starting tomorrow

With love

The fun and joy, the reasons for the tears you've been holding back,

And the aching wounds deep in your heart, don't think about them alone.

Let's talk and share, that's the recipe for happiness.

On shiny days, on rainy days, because I want to savor life together

Hey, even today, which passes in the blink of an eye just like always

A parent's love

and a child's feelings...

I just want to make

my child happy...

To give her Seiichiro?

I still think children should grow up with their mother around.

Mommy!

Come right now. Seiichiro's gone missing.

I want to see Seiichiro.

I love both Papa and Mommy.

Then why?

Why are you doing this to me?

Hurting this child so badly.
