Well, you like large breasted young women?

That was a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. It felt nice, didn't it?

You looked refreshed.

Quit your silence. Make some excuses.

Say I'm the only one you love or something.

You're the only one I love.

That lacked conviction.

You prefer big breasts, don't you?

No. Cup size has nothing to do with it.

Really?

You don't prefer them big?

It's not that I'm particularly fond of them.

No!

Why can't you say you prefer smaller ones or something?

You'll get thirsty.

Don't talk so much.

Is this really Japan?

Sweet Dream

What are you doing walking in a place like this?

Would you like a ride?

It's some ways to the next town.

Even if you're young, it's impossible to make it on foot.

Let's ride with them.

But...

It's all right. They're inviting us.

You're young.

That's not true...

Once you get old, you think about how young you were at that age.

Would you like some water?

You're thirsty, aren't you?

Thank you very much.

Here, Toshihiko.

I'm okay.

I'm not thirsty.

Are you sure?

I'll make some tea.

Just give me a moment.

Thank you very much.

Here you go.

Oh! It looks delicious.

We'll stop at supper time and I'll fix a proper meal.

The man is about thirty years old... Your girlfriend is probably the same age, isn't she?

You're right. I'm surprised you could tell.

People always think I'm younger.

Your voice doesn't lie.

I can usually tell weight from footsteps, too.

Grandma is good at guessing these sorts of things.

Her intuition has improved since she became blind.

Her eyes...?

It's not that bad once you get used to it.

And Grandpa always stays with me.

He must be very kind.

Even if I wanted to cheat, I wouldn't get very far by myself.

Oh, Grandpa...

I wonder what's up with that car?

There was a mountain fire nearby.

Oh?

Some kids broke into a summer house, so they're probably responsible, but...

A burnt corpse was also discovered.

Is it just the two of you?

Yep. Just Grandma and I.

Can I take a look in the back?

There's nothing there. Just the stuff we use.

Oh, please be careful. The cat peed on the blankets.

Well, I guess it's fine.

Please be careful.

I used to work at a power company.

I didn't just draw up the plans, either. I always worked on-site.

Not only Japan. I worked in other countries also.

Putting up power lines in desert countries...

Setting up generators in tropical countries...

It was hard work, but every country were pleased.

But when I nearly reached retirement, I was involved in an accident.

And my leg...

Driving like this isn't a problem, but...

Really, how unlucky.

I don't regret it.

I did the job because I loved it.

The company asked me to stay on until retirement. Said they'd give me desk work, but...

I don't want to do that kind of job at this point.

Even after I left, my subordinates came to visit many times.

They came to talk about work.

Even though they had superiors at the company.

After leaving the company, I thought about going on a trip with Grandma.

Since the only trip we went on was for our honeymoon.

We sold the house we were living in.

We decided to travel were we could, sleeping in the car.

She said she was okay with it.

Traveling is fun, too.

We've made a lot of friends in different places.

When it gets cold, we go south.

When it gets hot, we go north again.

The people you meet during those times, the people you meet again...

There are things that change, and things that don't.

Finding them is fun.

Oh. Sorry for prattling about ourselves like that.

I'm Machida Mochio. This is Grandma.

I didn't introduce myself earlier. My name is Momota Toshihiko.

I'm Yuka.

Thank you.

I'm glad you introduced yourselves.

It's a salt lake.

Shallow water goes out to the horizon.

We can drive over the lake in our car.

Such wonderful scenery.

The sky is reflected on the ground.

You can see the same sky above your head and under your feet.

It must be like flying.

Are there fish?

No, probably not.

I'm sure it's far too salty for them to live there.

But I've heard there are certain bacteria that need salt-rich environment to survive.

There's something there, even if you can't see it.

No matter where, there is something living.

There's a niche for all living things.

Is it really shallow?

Even though it's called a lake, it's no deeper than a puddle.

Pretty!

Shall I do it?

It's fine.

We've always made it by ourselves.

It tastes better in a big group.

I'm sure a young person would prefer meat.

No... I'm sure the fish are...

I also prefer my curry smooth.

Katsudon, rice with fried pork cutlet and egg, eaten by students. Katsu mean "to win."

I've graduated from katsudon.

You're married, aren't you?

Yes.

Do you have a baby on the way?

You can tell?

I thought so.

Yes. She's pregnant with my child.

Is that so?

Do I ask too many questions?

No...

It's fun.

Is that so? I'm glad.

I can also hear distant sounds.

As if there is an orchestra extending beyond the horizon.

We've come a long way.

That's true.

Thank you for what you said back then.

About the child?

Yeah.

I heard from Gakuto.

I'm sorry I didn't notice.

Is it all right?

The child may not be human.

It's our cute baby all the same.

I'm glad.

It's almost sundown. Let's rest around here for today.

Since there is plenty of rice, I don't need to make more again, do I?

I'll make something next.

You're good at this.

Fried rice topped with stir fry in a starched based sauce.

It's my special ankake chahan.

This is pretty good.

Not just good, it's excellent.

You're lucky to have a bride that can cook well.

Dear.

There's no need to worry about getting sick at this age.

You have to worry because you're this age.

And there are people around us that don't smoke.

You want him to stop, don't you?

Sure.

Lately I'm hearing about this good medicine frequently.

I heard that it was originally health vitamin, but that the effects are startling.

The lame could suddenly walk, the blind could see.

And people once confined to bed are able to get up.

Oh?

Someone selling it passed by earlier, sold us some cheap.

We tried some. Possibly tomorrow I won't need my wheelchair.

What would I do if I could see again?

I'd be able to see Grandpa's face again.

But it's been years, I'm sure he's aged a lot.

You'll have to look at your old face in the mirror also.

Even so, I'll be happy if I can see.

I wonder if it really works.

I don't know, but I hope it does.

I'm sure it will.

Thank you.

I can hear the sound of waves.

Looks like the ocean's below.

Why don't you two head down?

We'll rest here.

They seem happy.

That's also a kind of happiness.

Compensating for each other and enjoying the hardships.

I wonder if we can be like that.

I'm sure we can.

We can, can't we?

We might have been comparing ourselves to an ideal that doesn't exist.

I used to make a lot of fried rice back when I was a kid, too.

You did?

Since there weren't any women in our house...

Sunday breakfast was my responsibility.

But it never went well.

I always burned the fried rice.

So that's why you were so impressed yesterday.

You have to heat the pan well so that smoke comes out.

Oh? Doesn't it burn?

Just the opposite. It won't stick.

The trick is to avoid lowering the heat of the pan as much as possible.

That's unexpected.

Why don't you try cooking next time?

If it turns out well, you might enjoy cooking.

A lot of people are like that, apparently.

Kazuma would help me whenever I made fried rice.

When his turn came around, we'd make it together as well.

You were close, weren't you?

We'll return to how we were someday.

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

I was also remembering Gakuto.

I did something awful to him.

It's okay.

He's a tough guy.

I'm sure he's still alive.

I've been with Gakuto since I was young.

Whenever something happened, I'd ask his advice and do as he said.

Gakuto's reliable, but when we became adults, it felt like he was always ordering me around.

And I got sick of it.

You're different, Toshihiko.

With you, I think that we can live and worry about things together.

There's no need to hurry.

Let's do what we can.

I don't care what you are.

I want to love you just as you are.

I want you to love me deeply.

I don't want to love you while repressing my transformation.

I've been thinking about what we should do from now on.

Let's search for the Ookyu place you mentioned.

Can we?

Right now, I think it's most important.

Ookyu, huh? I wonder if there's a king.

Ookyu can also refer to a royal palace.

Let's go to your village.

There has to be some clues.

You'll be in for a surprise if you went there.

It's lonely and nothing there at all.

Who are those two?

Where's Grandma and Grandpa?

T-That's...

Yuka! Stay back!

No! Stop!

Yuka.

Yuka, stop!

You shouldn't kill her!

Stop.

Stop!

Stop it!

Grandma...

What have 1...?

No!

Don't come near me!

Delicious...

I thought Grandma was delicious!

I'm a Flesh Eater after all.

There is no way can be together.

Yuka...

Yuka, wait.

Wait!

Gakuto...

Gakuto...

It's been quite a while, miss.

Ame no shizuka wo kamu noga suki

I like to bite on the drops of rain

Amaku wa nai iya mushiro nigai

They're not sweet, in fact they're bitter

Kaori ga shita wo uragitte suki

I like how the smell betrays my tongue

Dakara ibitsuna kimi ga suki

That's why I like the misshapen you

Nante itazura na teido no kimi wa

You who does things that can only be seen as petty tricks

Konna watashi wo kakimidashite

You stir me up

Daitai no ryoubute ga kimi wo medatteru

The two shady hands make you stand out

Nante itazurano meido no kimi wa

The you whose petty tricks rumble

Konna hibi ja maigo ni natte shimau

With days like these, I become lost

Asamo hirumo yorumo itsudemo sarawareteku

Mornings, afternoons, nights, all the time, I get taken away
