Have you been a good girl,

Anzu?

Yes, my Muramasa.

Oh, Muramasa!

HAVE YOU BEEN A GOOD GIRL, ANZU?

YES, MY MURAMASA.

I'm coming!

I'm coming!

I'm coming!

Oh, Muramasa.

I'm coming.

No, wait.

Wait.

No, wait. I can't hold it.

I'm going to cum.

Cum inside me.

HAVE YOU BEEN A GOOD GIRL, ANZU? YES, MY MURAMASA.

I can't wait until you're on winter break.

Why?

So we can be together from the morning.

Stop it.

Ticklish?

It will get hard again.

That's okay.

Hey.

What?

Is it okay? Never using condoms.

Don't worry.

It's okay. I know my cycle.

Yes, but...

If it happens, I'll have it.

I'm just kidding.

My husband will be home soon.

Anzu.

Hey!

Takumi.

I really like you.

What do you think of me?

Not good enough?

No, it's not like that.

But

could you give me

some time?

You're already dating someone.

Don't worry about that.

I feel

the same way about you.

That's cute!

That's very cute!

-It's not cute! -It is cute!

-It really is! -No way.

-It's definitely cute! -Not really.

Time for homeroom!

Take your seats!

I'm handing out the end-of-term schedule.

-Screw that! -Screw that!

Nana?

She said that

to you?

Yes.

When?

It was

earlier today, before my homeroom.

No way.

You've got to be kidding me.

A chick you like confessing she likes you first?

That's awesome!

"Awesome" is a little over the top.

Oh, that's how it's going to be.

You won't have time to hang out.

Say what?

Am I out of line?

Won't she be waiting?

You have to walk her home, right?

No, it's not like that.

I haven't said yes yet.

What?

I can't believe you. Are you crazy?

No.

It's because

there's this thing.

What thing?

-Nothing. -What?

You won't tell anyone?

Of course, I will.

Hey!

I'm asking you not to.

Okay, don't worry.

Break is over, Fukuda. Rearrange the beverages.

Okay.

All right.

See you later.

Sure.

Oh, wait!

Here.

Oh, thanks.

My mom said

you can call her any time.

Okay.

Later.

Free hand out?

Shut it. It has nothing to do with you.

Fukuda. Liquor section, please.

Okay.

-Oh, sounds like a porno. -She's getting drilled!

That's right.

She wants to come out.

Just a little more!

You can do it.

Sorry, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Take it slow.

Okay.

Hold on.

You're doing fine.

Do you have a minute?

Hey, people think

we're watching porn here.

Never mind. Just help. Hurry!

Chizuru.

-Excuse me. -I'm counting on you.

I'm back.

The sacrum.

I know, okay?

I know what to do.

I'm sorry, only my foolish son is available.

Not at all.

He's very good.

I'M WAITING FOR YOU. THE KEY IS IN THE USUAL PLACE.

Are you a Lyrica fan?

Not especially.

It's not that popular anymore.

You two are hardcore.

That's not true.

There are still lots of fans.

Right?

It's his first time at a convention.

He would make a good Muramasa.

Don't you think?

Yes.

What?

Takumi as Muramasa?

We're childhood friends

and nobody has ever said that.

Your name is Takumi?

Yes.

I'm Yoshikawa.

You two are great as Lyrica and Muramasa.

Thank you.

This might sound a bit strange

but can you take a photo with us?

Seriously?

I was going to ask you

the same thing.

Let's do it here.

Okay.

There.

Let's go.

Is here good?

I'll take it.

Yes, please.

-Ready? -Okay.

Say, "Cheese!"

Get it?

Can you take one?

Yes, sure.

Here we go.

Okay, cheese!

Is it okay?

Yes, thank you.

Shall I send it to you?

Of course!

You, too?

Well, okay.

I'll send it now.

What's your address?

Hold on for a second.

Okay.

I'm sending it.

Okay.

Where did you come from today?

Kawanobe City.

Really?

Whereabouts?

Kita Izumi.

Why?

Me, too.

I see.

-Okay. -Yes.

This is over.

No.

Later.

I said no.

No.

This is no good.

No.

Hey.

Hey!

Think of your husband.

No.

You can't.

Anzu!

You're just buying me with money!

No!

It's over!

Oh, shit!

Is it all my fault?

Damn you!

I know you'll be back!

You'll be back!

Goddamn you!

No.

Not outside.

Your mom is a midwife, right?

Yes.

And your dad?

What does he do?

I don't know.

Seriously?

I want to be a midwife someday.

No sleep, no holidays, no money.

It sucks.

But I really love babies.

That doesn't mean you can do the job.

I...

didn't mean that.

That's just something

my mom always says.

We want

to have this baby as naturally as possible.

And...

I want to avoid eating fish and meat for the babies' sake.

And...

Also,

I heard that you pay proper attention...

Thanks.

...to meal preparation here.

I would like you to use organic vegetables

I usually order.

I don't mean to scare you

but our primary concern is for the lives of you

and your baby.

If we can't manage the birth,

you'll be brought to an associated hospital.

Please understand that.

We're not having this baby in a hospital.

Not to worry.

We understand.

Please follow your current diet

and I'm sure with your eagerness,

you know you have to walk as much as possible and ensure you stay warm.

-Yes. -Okay?

Yes.

While you're here,

we'll do our best to meet your needs.

But can you promise us one thing?

Sure.

It's not a big issue.

Starting today, please cut down on the internet.

Your eyes get more tired during pregnancy.

I see.

And do you know the most important thing for a child?

Parents who love each other.

As her husband, please support your wife as best you can.

Of course.

Your baby "sees" everything from inside your belly.

If I follow all the rules,

this baby will be born naturally, right?

-Ma'am. -Yes?

Don't you want to just tell them the truth?

It pisses me off when they go on about "natural birth."

"Natural birth" and "slow life"

aren't good to obsess over.

It's no good.

I would be a lot stricter.

That is if they would at least listen to the information in prenatal class.

Spending too much time on each person

becomes impractical.

That time should be spent

on the birth itself.

You're actually pretty harsh.

About the internet.

Someone as naive as her

takes it as gospel.

Once they get bad information, it's hard to undo

and they worry about things that are one in a million.

Actually, you're downright sinister.

Silly.

We have to put food on the table, too.

Right?

What do you want for dinner?

Whatever.

"Whatever" is hard to buy.

Just hurry up.

I need some tampons.

Oh, god.

Did you get pregnant?

Yes?

It's me.

Use your tongue more.

I want you.

I can't hold it.

Anzu, I love you.

I love you.

What?

Not so yummy.

FROM THIS DAY FORTH, ANZU FILLED MY THOUGHTS

Regarding the artificial insemination,

it's the second day of your menstrual cycle

and there's still been no conception.

In your case, your fallopian tubes

are quite narrow.

There is another problem.

Another cause of your fertility issues is your husband's sperm.

His count is low

and it lacks mobility, further compounding the issue.

Next level

Next level

I'm not

Who I was yesterday

Princess of love

I could hear you singing all the way outside.

Oh, welcome back!

I didn't even notice.

Dinner?

-Hamburger steak? -Sure.

It's already prepared.

I just have to fry it.

Twenty minutes?

Okay.

By the way...

Yes?

The artificial insemination

didn't work.

Okay.

You can let my mom know.

A baby

with DNA from two bullied kids like us

would never make it.

Goodnight.

Oh, good morning.

Good morning.

I bought vegetables at the market.

Wow.

Okay.

-Here. -Thank you.

There you are.

Thank you.

Breakfast at this time?

It's late.

We sleep in on Sundays.

Looks good.

It could use some vegetables.

Let's use these.

-I'll wash them. -No.

I'll take care of it.

Housewives need Sundays off. Take a rest.

Okay?

Thank you.

All ready.

Here we are.

That smell brings back memories.

Waking up at such an hour.

You can't leave it all up to Satomi.

These days

men do housework, too.

I do my share, right?

Let's eat.

The vegetables are delicious.

-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.

Bon appétit.

-Yum. -Yum.

-It's good. -Yes.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Here.

Pickled egg juice. Have you ever heard of it?

Never.

Silkie fowl eggs

pickled in vinegar.

Do you remember your old classmate Keiko?

Yes.

A neighborhood friend's daughter

drank it and got pregnant.

So I thought it might work for you.

Here.

Do I drink it now?

Of course now.

All in one gulp is best.

If your mother had been alive

when you were young, she could've provided nutrition like this.

Everybody said getting married at 20 was a bad idea.

Two years later, they divorced.

Was there a reason?

It was mainly an affair.

Yoshiko, my friend,

it was her daughter's fault, too.

It was bad.

Neglecting her child?

No time to play the field before marriage.

It was the worst ending to a shotgun marriage.

Then her daughter

started working.

She left her baby with Yoshiko every day.

It was doubtful whether she was actually working.

That poor child.

Yoshiko is the one raising her now.

It's unbelievable

being her first grandchild.

She puts on new clothes and shoes

and takes her out to show her off.

Children are not pets, are they?

Right?

So...

that's why you should

try in vitro fertilization.

What?

Actually,

we're not trying to--

I see.

That's it!

You're worried about money.

Don't fret about that.

My late husband has left us enough money.

If I use it for my grandchild, he can't say anything.

We should try everything.

Long ago, a wife who didn't bear a child for three years was told to get out.

If that was the case,

before you got married,

we should have had

you examined

by a doctor.

If only...

I'm really sorry, Machiko.

Thank you.

Over here, please.

Okay.

Another pose, please.

-Anzu, look! -What?

-What? -Look!

That guy in the checkered shirt on the right.

What?

He would be a perfect Muramasa!

I want to dress him up in this!

Talk to him, then.

No way, you know I can't.

-I'm too shy! -What?

Oh, crap! Here he comes!

He's coming.

Oh, hello.

You didn't get lost?

I didn't recognize you

out of costume.

Amazing.

This is really embarrassing.

No, you look fantastic.

Could you come here?

Okay.

Good.

Now from this angle.

Face this way.

-Well... -Okay.

Okay.

Nice.

Is this fun for you?

It's an escape from reality.

No, don't look at that.

Why not?

You have talent.

No, really.

You won't laugh?

There's nothing funny about your work.

Okay.

When did you draw it?

In college.

This is the best Muramasa I've ever drawn.

It's true.

He's my dream man.

Hey...

A little more gently.

It's before my period.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Get undressed.

Just a moment.

I can't hold it.

You can cum.

It's okay, don't worry.

Cum.

Will you see me again?

Can we meet again?

Yes.

Okay.

SLUTTY PIG!

DISGUSTING GEEK!

PERVERT! YOU'LL DO IT WITH ANYONE!

DON'T SPREAD YOUR DISEASE, WHORE!

To aid embryo development, stimulation is employed

to increase fertilization chances.

To induce ovulation,

clomiphene is taken orally and there are injections.

Ultimately, the follicle count will increase

as you can see here.

Open your hand.

Apply pressure on the cotton, please.

Open your hand, please.

-This will prick. -Okay.

Are your legs feeling numb?

Yes.

Hey!

Wow.

Here.

Women have to keep this part warm.

Hey.

How do you know that?

My mother.

What?

What about your mother?

Nothing.

Never mind.

Don't.

When you laugh, it vibrates inside.

I'm extracting the egg now.

Just a moment.

All right, please stay still.

It's coming.

Here it comes.

Doctor, 125.68.

It...

didn't work.

Hello.

What's wrong with you?

I never should've let you marry my son.

But Keiichiro was set on it.

So I turned a blind eye to your past.

My past?

Money can buy anything.

I know everything about you.

All of it.

What you were called in school.

But despite all that, Keiichiro still wanted to marry you.

All I wanted was a grandchild.

Why can't you give me that?

The infertility

isn't only my fault.

Keiichiro is also to blame.

How dare you say that!

He works so hard every day to put food on the table for you.

These days both people work, with mothers raising more than one kid!

And you? No job. You can't cook. Can't have kids.

We chose a loser!

And you blame my son?

You need to be a better wife! Come on, say something!

You blame us for everything! I always knew you were useless.

Defective goods!

Poor Keiichiro!

Satomi?

Please leave me alone.

Sorry.

Parallel Princess, next level!

Parallel Princess, next level!

Parallel Princess, next level!

Parallel Princess, next level!

Parallel Princess, next level!

Muramasa!

Muramasa!

Anzu has been waiting for you like a good girl.

Muramasa!

This is over.

No.

Later.

I said no.

No.

This is no good.

No.

Hey.

No!

Hey!

Think of your husband.

No.

You can't.

Anzu!

You're just buying me with money!

No!

It's over!

Oh, shit!

Is it all my fault?

Damn you!

I know you'll be back!

You'll be back!

Goddamn you!

Wow, a real princess!

Look, Mommy. A princess.

It's a princess.

Yes, sure.

I'm back.

Machiko.

Muramasa!

Muramasa!

Without kids, this is what happens.

Oh, god.

Muramasa!

A woman

with too much time on her hands gets up to no good.

It's been a long time since

Keiichiro noticed your strange behavior.

Muramasa!

You never realized that?

But he has no intention of separating from you.

We're still going to find a way

to get that baby.

If I could have,

I would have done it myself

and had your baby.

I'm sorry, Machiko.

Please let me get divorced!

In America,

they have great hospitals.

There are coordinators here

who can help find a surrogate mother.

But first, we'll all fly to America

so you both can get tested.

And don't worry a thing about money.

Please.

I want a divorce!

I won't divorce you!

If you do,

I'll leak this video everywhere!

To his house

and his school.

To the whole world!

Did you get pregnant?

Yes?

It's me.

Use your tongue more.

I want you.

I can't hold it.

Anzu, I love you.

I love you.

A NEW LIFE CREATED FROM SEX SO PLEASURABLE IS TRULY A MIRACLE

Grandma!

Grandma!

You can't eat that, okay?

Come on, spit it out.

Just put it down.

What the hell are your parents doing?

Can't even get a hold of them at dinnertime!

Hey.

This convenience store isn't your fridge.

Got it?

Good evening.

Taoka. They're shoplifting again.

Scold them. I can't do it.

Hey.

You worked at a cram school, right?

No can do.

I worked at a prep school.

My students were in high school.

Damn it.

Oh, right.

What's with these punks from that slum?

Sorry.

I don't want to say this,

but since you started here,

the number of shoplifters has increased.

It might be a coincidence

but don't be filling their heads.

I can't take any more of these punks.

Shithead.

We're not their guardians.

Hey.

Have you heard from Takumi?

What about him?

Well...

Have you seen him?

No.

I've been busy here.

Why?

It's just that

he hasn't come to school recently.

I thought you might know since you're friends.

Do we look that way?

You're not?

Do you like him or something?

What?

-No? -What?

Isn't that why you're asking?

That pervert?

Whatever.

Wait a second.

Don't steal again.

-Okay. -Okay.

Take this stuff with you.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Bye.

See you.

What's this about?

My big sister likes anime.

-Does she? -Yes.

She makes fanzines and stuff.

It's very geeky.

Anyway, she found something

on a bulletin board.

Here.

Do you want to see it?

Yes.

Is that Takumi?

Looks like it.

He hasn't been to school.

Maybe that's why?

You know that character?

No.

I don't really know much about anime.

It's called Magic Girl, or something. It's an old television show.

It still has fan sites, and according to my sister,

this was sent to them with his name and address.

What?

Did he send it himself?

Nobody would do that themselves.

And

what's really crazy

is the video.

Do you know it?

Like a porno?

My sister said

the woman dating him might have sent it.

Anyway,

how were things going between you?

Well...

It seemed like it was going okay for a while.

What?

Don't. I didn't mean to hurt you.

-I'm sorry! It's my fault. -Sorry.

-I'll throw it-- -Can I have it?

And...

the website address.

You want to see it?

Yes.

I see.

Okay.

Because I still like him.

Wow.

What a nut.

He's totally lost it.

Filming sex is gross.

His life's over.

Imagine if he came to school in that costume?

"Oh, Muramasa!"

-He's coming for sure. -I bet 1,000 yen, he isn't!

He'll definitely be here.

Definitely.

-No way! He can't. -He won't come.

-It's impossible. -He can't come.

-He'll definitely come. -Hey, put them in here.

The teacher asked me to collect them.

-Really? -Just do it.

Hey.

Is Takumi quitting school?

And this was in the mailbox.

Oh, god. He's just a kid.

He's really going at it!

What?

Good afternoon.

May we come in?

Ryo.

Hello.

Ms. Nomura.

Is Takumi here?

What was he thinking?

Thanks again for the lunches.

Takumi?

I'm coming in.

Sure.

Well...

The shit has really hit the fan.

Someone leaked a picture

of you doing weird cosplay.

Who's the woman?

"Muramasa!"

Hey!

Well,

the reason is actually...

The fool.

He'll be down soon.

But I didn't know you were pregnant.

When is the baby due?

What?

The delivery date.

What?

What?

How?

How did you know I was pregnant?

"How"? Your belly.

But I haven't told anybody.

What?

Have you seen a doctor?

When I missed my period.

Just that once.

Keeping records?

I'm not even sure if I'll marry my boyfriend yet.

Does he know?

First of all,

you should discuss it with him

and get a checkup at the hospital, okay?

Then we can offer you help and--

No way, I can't do it!

I can't bear pain or needles.

Don't you get it, woman?

You can't just have a quickie abortion anymore, stupid!

Once you get pregnant, you should have it!

Mitsuyo, you're going too far!

How come she's so scary?

Because you're a bimbo!

With teachers like you,

Japan is screwed.

How can you say that?

I can take care of you

if you deliver it here.

You're too strict.

I just came by to see how Takumi was doing.

Fukuda.

Isn't this yours?

Sorry about that.

Just throw it away.

Your sentences are a mess with basic mistakes.

On this,

if you improve your spelling and idioms, you could get 20 more points.

You're spelling junior high-level words wrong.

Did you mean

"another"?

This says "anatar."

Bring your textbook.

I can teach you on break.

No.

I hate studying.

You shouldn't say that in your second year.

You still have time for university exams.

I'm not going to university.

I have no money.

Never mind money.

There are scholarships and grants.

There are lots of ways.

Lots of people can't get jobs despite going to university.

Right now,

you really don't have anything.

Your parents aren't rich

and you have no special talents.

You have no advantage.

So at least get your degree.

Do you know the job rate for high school graduates?

Lessons must be boring when you don't get it.

They're boring, period.

That's when I sleep, after my newspaper job.

Teachers are just no-brains.

At my high school,

the teachers and the students are all shitheads.

I can imagine.

If you just graduate from your dumb high school,

you'll have a shotgun wedding

and keep pumping out babies.

You'll have an asshole boss like our manager

and stay in that slum.

But that's not so bad, right?

There's no way I would take that shit!

Okay, then.

Let's study.

Fukuda.

What do you keep smiling about?

I'm not smiling.

You're happy Taoka is worried about you.

Be careful, though.

That's how he gets close.

You don't know?

He's a homo.

The son of a rich hospital owner working at a convenience store?

Isn't that odd?

He's fishing for boys.

Do you have any proof?

You had

the same look when you were in elementary school.

You were so happy that you would have a new dad.

He never came.

You're no better.

Where did your "company president" old man end up after all?

Whatever.

I don't care what you believe.

However much we struggle, we'll never escape this dump.

Those.

Give me half.

Hold on!

You're no good!

This is scary!

You're no good.

Come here!

Welcome back. Grandma's asleep.

I ate the rice in the cooker.

Ryota.

That cash I gave you earlier,

I need it back soon.

Hello?

Is Takako Fukuda there?

Hello?

Sorry, she's not here.

She hasn't been back for three days.

When she comes back, tell her to settle her debt

by the end of this month.

Who are you? Her son?

Yes.

I see. Tough break.

Good luck.

Are you okay?

You can come

to his apartment to live with us.

What about grandma?

She's your dad's mom.

I don't have any obligations to take care of her.

Leave her here.

Eventually, she'll...

Hey.

Where's my bankbook for all my New Year's savings?

What?

I'll give it to you when you turn 20.

I've been saving it all since you were a kid.

I'll crash here tonight.

I have a morning shift at the factory.

It's closer from here.

Every human being is unique.

Nobody can be the same as you.

Nobody can replace you.

Each and every person

has their own individuality.

That individuality

shouldn't be judged by anybody.

Each person's uniqueness is wonderful.

We should respect Takumi's individuality, too.

Aoki.

Give this to the teacher.

You do it!

You're good at this stuff.

Tell her we have a student with wonderful individuality.

Do it now.

Okay.

I'm going.

Idiot, I was just joking!

Appreciate your parents and friends.

Look at that.

That's enough.

It's Muramasa.

-Take it easy. -You should be able to do it.

Fukuda, stop it!

-I said to stop it! -Don't!

-Come on! -Stop!

Hey!

Hey, stop it!

-God... -Stop it!

-only tests people he believes -Stop it!

-can overcome tribulations. -Hey, stop it!

Ryo.

What happened to your face?

You aren't the only one having it tough.

Enjoy cosplay.

Fuck her.

Your video was leaked.

Stupid asshole.

Just die if you want.

Hey.

Why did you have me?

It was an accident, right?

You should have had an abortion.

Is it because you didn't want to be a bad person?

Don't have me for your convenience.

No food for bums.

There.

You guys...

It's fine!

-Hey, Fukuda! -Hey!

Welcome back!

What will you do now?

Everything's soaking wet.

Your grandma left the faucet on

and threw buckets of water

all over the place!

My tatami mats are ruined.

Hey.

I don't give a fuck about your place.

-What about my damage? -I'm very sorry.

You old bitch!

I'll chuck you in the river.

I'm really sorry. Forgive us.

I want compensation.

My room is fucked up.

-Come on. -Sure.

-Sorry. -Let's go.

What the hell?

I'll clean the rest.

I'll wipe the floor.

You can't do it by yourself.

It was on the door handle.

Don't worry, the manager is not with me.

She should be in the hospital.

My hospital has good facilities.

It's more than you can handle.

I can't afford it.

I keep telling you.

When you need help, call me.

Why?

Why are you helping me?

Is it

like a handout?

I'm...

a hideous person.

So the rest of the time,

I should do something extra good.

Anyway, you guys should stop spreading that picture.

Akutsu left a copy in the store machine.

If you have that much time,

think about how to get out of that place.

Going to university.

You should really think about it.

ARRESTED FOR OBSCENE ACT

He was taking his counseling seriously.

He knew more than anyone that he needed help.

He was crying.

I don't believe that.

The writer of the article is the one who's suspicious.

I'll take out the garbage.

He didn't touch you, right?

MISSION TO RAISE FUKUDA'S TEST SCORE ENGLISH VOCABULARY TEST TEN

There are only idiots in this town.

He said he'd teach them

but dragged them to his car

and took photos of them naked.

-Disgusting! -And scary!

Imagine, someone like that living around here.

Were you hit?

Don't touch me, pervert!

I PRAYED TO A MEAN-SPIRITED GOD

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE HIM OUT IN THE COLD TONIGHT

-Mitsuyo? Did you order it? -Yes.

I ordered it.

What happened?

Takumi?

It's an urn.

THE BONES OF ANZU'S AND YOUR BABY

Waist, 85 centimeters.

Okay.

Uterine fundus, 30 centimeters.

Okay.

Well,

are those

really from Takumi's?

Of course not.

Maybe fried chicken bones or something.

When they're clean, they look real.

I threw them out.

What a disgusting thing to do, anyway.

I'm glad it's garbage day.

I can't believe there are people who have never been stupid in love.

Exercising?

As you told me to, I'm walking every day.

You're not overweight.

It looks good.

Thank you very much.

Mitsuyo.

Please sit up slowly.

Okay.

-There you go. -Okay.

By the way,

the timing's not good with Takumi having trouble,

but

I've decided to marry my boyfriend.

Wow!

Congratulations!

That isn't necessary.

It's thanks to Mitsuyo.

Mitsuyo?

We took him out and convinced him to marry her.

Or else it's vasectomy time.

Really?

Is that how you "convince"?

-It worked. -Mitsuyo!

It's thanks to her that we're tying the knot.

Making threats isn't--

I'm doing a pelvic exam.

Okay.

-Two to three centimeters. -Okay.

-Bring her forward. Ready? -Okay.

-That's good. -Okay.

-Opaque amniotic fluid. -Understood.

Nishimura, can you turn on your side?

-That's it. -Excuse me.

-We'll help you up. -Sorry.

Okay.

Hey.

You're doing well.

But your baby must be getting tired.

Just in case, let's go to the hospital.

I'll call an ambulance.

This will be a bit cold.

I told you to have the baby at a hospital, not this weird place!

Let's think of your wife and baby's safety first.

Okay?

Are you okay?

First child?

Yes.

Her amniotic fluid is opaque.

It seems like the delivery will take longer.

I understand.

We'll take care of it from here.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Big talk about "natural childbirth,"

but your patients still end up here.

If something happens to the baby,

it's your fault!

Prepare her for surgery.

Doctor.

Aya.

You'll see your baby soon.

I...

didn't make it.

Having a baby by C-section...

I'm a failed mother.

What are you saying?

You did well.

You're going to be a mother.

Be strong.

-Operating room! -Okay!

Please take care of her.

Thank goodness.

Aya's birth went well.

Mitsuyo,

being a midwife

is not only about bringing a healthy baby into the world.

When I worked at the hospital,

I saw more children die than I expected.

I did all I could do,

but some babies died right after being born.

When I think of those cold, hard babies' corpses,

I can't sleep.

But that wasn't your fault.

I think that was just their lifespan.

If I don't...

If that's true

and their lifespan is so short,

why are they even born

in the first place?

I really wish

somebody could help me understand

the meaning their short lives had.

I want

someone to explain that.

Truly.

Hello?

Saito Maternity Center.

This is the last time.

Sorry.

How is

Takumi doing?

Why don't you find out?

I'm useless

as a father.

Then don't ask me such a thing!

COSPLAY HOUSEWIFE! PERVERT'S HOUSE! GET OUT!

I'm going to America.

America?

Yes.

Which part?

West Virginia.

What?

Transfer?

I'm going there to meet a person having a baby.

What?

A baby? Whose?

Mine and yours.

I'm joking.

Someone

who might be able to have a baby for me and my husband.

Don't go!

Why?

You can't!

Don't do it!

Thank you for everything.

No!

Don't! Why?

Don't go!

Don't leave me!

Okay?

Okay?

It's time

you went home.

TAKUMI, I'M VERY SORRY.

ALTHOUGH I'M A STUPID, PERVERTED HOUSEWIFE

WHO CAN'T HAVE A BABY, THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH ME.

ANZU.

I come here to pray and meet my own son.

What are you praying for?

For children.

Including you, of course.

All children.

Babies who will be born.

Babies who couldn't be born.

All babies

who are alive and dead.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize to anybody.

Takumi.

Don't give up.

You're one of the living.

Be alive

and be here.

GOD, PLEASE PROTECT THIS BABY

Good morning!

Good morning!

-School? -Yes.

I'm off.

See you.

"Muramasa!"

DO WE REALLY CHOOSE THE LIVES WE LEAD?

You should use an emoticon.

Don't peek.

You're lying!

You're talking crap.

The test.

You did it?

Me, too.

-Right? -Don't worry, it'll be okay.

Thanks.

Hold on.

Thank you.

And exhale.

Inhale through your nose.

Good. Exhale once more.

Inhale again through your nose.

Good. Now, push.

Doctor.

I can't take it.

You're doing great.

I can almost see the baby's head.

Just push a few more times

and the baby will arrive.

Hang in there.

Takumi, get some water.

You'll meet your baby soon. Your husband's helping, too.

Yes!

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale once more.

Inhale slowly through your nose.

And push!

Good.

Yes!

I can see the head!

Stop pushing now.

The shoulder's out now.

The shoulder's out.

Your baby's here!

-Congratulations! You did it, Chie. -Well done!

You really did great!

He's a healthy boy.

You were amazing.

I'm so glad

you can finally meet.

You were great.

I'll put a cushion under you.

-Takumi, the futon. -Okay.

-Futon? -Yes.

This?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Here.

You did great.

If you feel nauseous

or if you're bleeding a lot,

please call us.

I will.

You

were born with a devil of a thing.
