(Due to the water restriction policy in Maebashi City, this swimming pool will be temporarily closed) (Wind, wind, don't blow anymore)

(Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, Maebashi City residents' swimming pool)

The smell of the swimming pool disappeared.

Let's go back.

Kumiko.

Come, let me lift you up.

What are you doing?

you still need to ask? We came here to swim.

Here.

Splash.

Splish, splash, splish.

The water is so cool and comfortable.

Join me for some water ballet.

Me too.

Come quickly.

Splish, rustle...

Plop...

Swimming...

Swimming... with movements.

With movements.

Swimming... with movements...

Swimming... with movements...

Swimming... with movements...

Coming.

Look, it's a special performance by Koide Hikoko and Kumiko.

Yes.

We're from the water company and we're here to collect your water bill.

I'm sorry, I really can't afford it this month.

I don't have any cash on hand, I'm sorry.

You've been overdue for four months now.

I know, but I'll definitely find a job this month.

I'll be able to pay it all at once next month for sure.

The air conditioning at home...

It's really cold.

Can't you still afford the electricity bill?

It's been so hot every day recently.

If I get heatstroke, I won't be able to go out to work.

The power company is different from you guys.

You're not willing to give me a little more time.

You've been overdue for four months.

We can't let you delay any longer.

Please cut off the water.

What?

(water meter)

Huh…

Wait a minute, huh...

This doesn't seem right.

After all, electricity is generated from power plants.

Of course, I'm willing to pay for that.

But water is different, isn't it?

If it doesn't rain, you're out of luck too.

Water is something that should be free, right?

For emergencies.

I'll still give you an installment payment application form.

Huh?

(Water cutoff notice, Mr. Shigeru Fushimi)

(Person in charge, Iwakiri)

We're waiting for your overdue payment.

It’s too expensive... 9,450 yuan.

(By the way, it hasn't rained since the rainy season)

"Thirsty Water" (The entire Gunma Prefecture has issued water restrictions)

(The chance of rain in this week's weather forecast is still zero)

(This is really troublesome)

The streets are almost dry.

And we still have to cut off people's water.

I feel like we're bullies picking on the weak.

I've been doing this job for almost two years now,

But I still can't get used to cutting off water.

How can you start to like this job?

I don’t do this job because I like it.

But I don't hate it either.

I guess that's just how work is.

I suddenly had a strange idea just now.

The sun is free, right?

No matter how long you bask in the sun, no one will come to collect money.

And the air too.

You can breathe in as much air as you want.

Actually, it wouldn't matter if water was free too.

But if that were the case, we wouldn't have any food to eat.

That would be terrible.

(Current situation in Gunma Prefecture)

(Water restrictions throughout the prefecture)

(Thank you for your cooperation, everyone)

Is this Ms. Koide?

We're from the water company.

I see.

Can we ask you to settle your overdue payments?

It's really troubling for me that you suddenly come asking for money.

It's not sudden, we've notified your household many times.

Shouldn't you pay the water bill before your phone bill?

Without my phone, I can't work.

My family relies solely on my income.

Without my phone, I won't be able to pay the water bill either.

If you're facing difficulties... I hope I'm not being too forward in saying this,

but you could apply for financial assistance.

I see.

I heard that public utility fees become cheaper this way.

I've heard that from others before.

You might want to consider applying.

I can't apply for financial assistance.

Before I receive that money, the government will contact my parents first.

They'll question why my parents can't help me, right?

That's how the rules are, yes.

Then let's forget about it.

I've already cut ties with them.

Getting involved with them again will only lead to arguments.

I can't handle that.

But I guess you wouldn't understand.

Can you at least pay some of it?

After all, you've been overdue for four months.

I can't do it today.

I understand.

Water cut-off.

You're cutting off the water now?

How can you just come and cut off my water like this?

I've already told you, this isn't sudden.

Mom, we're back.

Let me tell you, about the public swimming pool...

Welcome back, come inside first.

The swimming pool...

It's a shame, all the indoor swimming pools in the city are temporarily closed, right?

Kida, let's come back another time.

We'll visit again in a week.

Please have the money ready by then.

Goodbye.

is this okay?

Water isn't free, we have to cut it off when necessary.

(I'm Iwakiri, I can't answer the phone right now)

(Please leave a message after the beep)

Mom, can she come back earlier? Does she have to stay until dawn?

I don't know, she has to, She has to go to work.

What about dad? When will he be back?

I already told you, dad is near the Suez Canal.

He won't be back for a while.

Suez Canal…

(The Suez Canal)

Did you know? There are pirates around here.

Come on, pirates are characters from cartoons, right?

They don't really exist.

They do exist, though.

But real-life pirates aren't like the heroes in cartoons.

They're more like really scary robbers.

Doesn't that mean dad is in danger?

Don't worry, dad's on the latest cruise ship.

It can handle pirates.

Like those super big ships we see at the harbor?

Even cooler than that, it's dad's ship after all.

I see, dad's really amazing.

Needless to say

We don't need electricity.

But then you can't watch cartoons.

I'm not a child anymore.

I prefer candles to electric lights.

It feels like being at sea.

Yes, the sea is all connected.

Feels like dad is nearby.

Yeah.

That defaulter is really awful.

Didn't I tell you to definitely cut off the water?

Murata, water is not free.

And with the current shortage, it's reasonable to raise prices.

I feel like continuing like this might make us lose our humanity.

They're always watching us, waiting for us to shut off the water.

Having to face that every time makes me feel like I'm losing myself.

Murata, please don't make it sound so complicated.

I'm no match for you.

Today's first group, 13 houses scheduled for water cut-off.

I'm heading out.

Safe travels.

- Safe travels. - I'm off.

It would be nice to wash the car properly.

But the authorities have warned us to conserve water,

so we have to set a good example.

It's really dry today too.

It's really dry.

There are no fish, right?

Yeah.

Over there.

I wonder if we can grill that.

No, it'll upset your stomach.

Dad's caught fish are so delicious.

They taste even better with soy sauce.

Because they're all freshly caught from the sea.

Keiko, Kumiko.

Did you have a big catch?

We didn't catch a single one.

Your hair has grown so much.

I'm off tomorrow, I'll help you cut it then.

Are you going to work?

I'll be back when I'm done.

- Be careful on the way. - Be careful on the way.

Keiko.

You're out of money, right?

Yeah.

Don't worry too much, tell me earlier next time..

This should last you a week, I'm giving you an extra thousand.

it's okay.

I'm sorry.

What?

When I was your age, I probably knew about my parents' situation too.

You're even smarter than I was.

Didn't you used to talk to me about everything not long ago?

Feel free to say whatever you want.

If you could help us with our haircuts, I'd be really happy.

It doesn't have to be tomorrow.

Got it.

- I'm off. - Be careful on the way.

Kumiko, I'm leaving first.

Be careful on the way.

(Sakagami Yosuke store)

(Everything half price)

I'm telling you, with this weather, how am I supposed to do business?

Even if you peel me layer by layer, I still can't pay the water bill.

But with the sun so strong, you should be selling a lot of umbrellas, right?

Even umbrellas won't sell if nobody's buying.

Damn it, worthless thing.

No matter if it's rainy or sunny, there are still no customers.

When those plastic umbrellas started appearing in the market,

we should have closed shop.

It's so annoying. Those plastic things aren't even real umbrellas.

I handle everything about this shop and money. Don't interfere.

About the overdue payment...

I already said I can't pay.

Are we going to have our water cut off?

Yes, that's the rule.

What?

Where did you get the money?

This is my allowance from Xiao Wang outside.

- Really? - Fake.

Don't treat me like a fool, you damn worthless thing.

This is the money I've saved bit by bit from the elderly pension.

It's my secret stash.

Is this enough?

It's enough. Let me calculate how much you need to give me.

We're from the water company.

Is this Miss Yoshiko Izawa's home?

Can you please open the door?

(Get lost)

(Important mail, please open immediately, Maebashi City Water Company)

But your household has been overdue on water bills...

(Get lost)

I understand. Then we'll have to cut off the water.

Miss Izawa, about the future payments...

(Get lost)

(Get lost)

(Get lost)

(Get lost)

(Get lost)

(Get lost)

Are you Mr. Hanamaru who sent me the message?

Sorry, it seems we're not a good fit. Let's forget it.

Didn't we agree not to back out?

That's how matchmaking software is.

Just go find someone else.

I was stood up during the day.

You understand, right? I have a life to attend to too.

I don't want to know. That's terrifying, really heavy stuff.

I don't think you're cut out for making money like this.

I advise you to find a normal job.

Then help me find someone who only graduated from junior high school,

and can afford to raise two children with a normal job.

In this remote place where nothing happens, you should look around.

You're really something, you woman.

Uh...

I thought it would be nice to have some sweets occasionally.

But then such a big plate came out

I really can't finish it by myself.

Would you like to help me finish it?

Here.

If you came with family, you could share it.

Unfortunately, I'm all alone.

Just when I was feeling troubled, I realized you're also alone.

Help me out.

Don't laugh, I'm really troubled.

Delicious.

It's been a long time since I had something like this.

You must be tired.

You should have some sweets occasionally, eat a bit more.

Excuse me, could you pass me a spoon?

You have a comforting scent.

My husband only smells like water.

You have a husband?

It's not that strange.

He disappeared a year ago.

I'm sorry.

Delicious.

(Tokyo, Gunma, etc.)

(Have already reached a scorching heat above 36 degrees)

(Afternoon temperatures will continue to soar)

(Gunma Prefecture's Maebashi City is forecasted to reach)

(An incredibly hot 39 degrees)

(Yet today's chance of rain is still zero)

I think the headmaster must have talked to you.

But I don't want to go outside for now.

I'm sure this must be troubling for you too.

I'm sorry, please bear with me a little longer.

It's okay.

Please confirm whether the fee for Mikage Town's Hidezaku Koide has been paid?

OK

Mr. Iwakiri, doesn't this job make you uncomfortable?

I always feel like you've known all along.

What do you mean?

Whenever you stop a household's water supply.

You also gradually change.

You must have noticed, right?

No.

I haven't.

Mr. Koide Hidezaku hasn't paid yet.

Understood.

In the first group today, 19 households are scheduled to have their water cut off.

I'm off.

Have a safe journey.

Have a safe journey.

- Have a safe journey. - I'm off.

Mom won't be coming home today either?

She said she'd help us cut our hair.

(Mom)

The number you have dialed is out of service or turned off...

Mom seems busy, let me help you cut it.

No, I feel like you'll definitely mess it up.

Got it.

Sister, I found snakeberries.

So? What did you cook this morning?

Eggplant miso soup.

I advise you not to cook.

You seem not used to living alone.

It's more likely that your wife will come back.

Lately, she's been giving off vibes that she wants me to make a promise.

I mean my girlfriend. Do you think I should get married?

Don't ask me about this kind of thing.

the way, what was the reason you got married back then?

Because the other party was pregnant.

I see.

What reaction?

Then I might as well consider getting married.

Anyway, I will definitely want to have children in the future.

although I'm not sure right now.

I think you shouldn't cook for yourself.

That way, your son might have a reason to come home.

It seems like no one is at home.

Then let's cut off the water supply as planned.

Doesn't anyone in this household work?

He seems to have been working on a ship all along,

until his health issues forced him to quit.

And now?

I don't know.

I know this isn't enough,

But that's all we have now.

What time will Mom be back?

She... will be back, right?

She will be back. She still needs to help us cut our hair.

Keep this money for now.

Do you want to cut off our water supply?

That's the rule.

Kida, help them store some water.

Use all the containers they have at home.

Okay.

Can I go in?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Use the bathtub or buckets to store more water.

That should last you a while.

I understand.

Here's the snakeberry for you.

Thank you.

But can you help me change the water for my goldfish?

Its name is Captain, and my dad caught it for me.

Also, please take care of this. It's water that has been dechlorinated.

this…

All the containers are filled.

Can I see how you cut off the water supply?

I bought this back. It's for a lottery.

- Do you often go to the riverside? - Yes.

What do you do there?

We fish, pick flowers, or look for snakeberries.

Are there fish in that river?

Yes, my dad caught a really big one last time.

That's impressive.

Did you win anything?

I didn't win either.

Because the river connects to the sea,

that's why dad chose this house.

The sea? The sea is great.

In the summer, we eat popsicles and go to the beach.

Oh... I didn't win.

This is the water cutoff notice and my business card.

Please give this to Mom

and ask her to contact me immediately.

(Shunsaku Iwakiri, Payment Department, Maebashi City Waterworks Bureau)

Iwa...

Mr. Iwakiri.

Mr. Iwakiri

I won. Another one, please.

What's wrong?

Oh, right.

Here, for you.

Thank you.

Should we leave this for Mom?

Yes.

(Water cutoff notice, Ms. Koide Yuki)

Make sure to tell Mom, okay?

Okay.

(Hello?)

Ah, it's me.

Have you ever eaten snakeberries, Koyomi?

(What?)

Isn't there a river in Mikage Town?

You can find snakeberries there.

(Sorry, I'm kinda busy)

(If it’s not urgent, can we talk later?)

You said you wanted to go back to your hometown to deal with some things.

It wasn't even the rainy season then.

Shouldn't everything be settled by now?

(I'll call you back)

Alright.

Isn't that wrong color for captain?

I'm out of red crayon.

I'll buy you a red crayon.

Then you buy this.

It seems like it's running out.

Do we need to buy special fish food?

The captain can probably eat breadcrumbs or something like that.

It won't grow without this kind of food.

Didn't dad say that?

How much does that can of fish food cost?

Hello, it's hot again today.

Hello.

I brought the community newsletter.

Where's your mom?

She's gone out.

I see.

Kumi, have you seen the goldfish like this?

So pitiful.

You two are really pitiful.

Have you heard of Child Counseling Services?

Do you want Auntie to call for you?

I saw your mom on the street last night.

She was smiling happily with a man.

That's enough.

No, Auntie is on your side.

I've been worried about you since before.

You haven't heard from your dad, have you?

Of course not.

I heard he's in a very dangerous business...

It has nothing to do with you. Please don't come again.

It's always like this.

No one appreciates my good intentions. They just repay kindness with ingratitude.

Starting next month, I'll leave the newsletter in your mailbox.

Make sure to take it to the next household.

Don't lose it, or else people will think it's my fault.

Everything that woman says is a lie.

Yeah.

When Dad comes back, everything will go back to normal, right?

Yeah.

When will he come back?

Probably... When next time it rains.

(Continued record-breaking heatwave)

(making the water shortage problem more serious)

(Consecutive days without rain have caused the reservoir levels to drop continuously)

(The scope of water rationing measures continues to expand)

(The water company urges the public to pay attention to daily water usage)

(And to reuse bathwater)

(Starting from small aspects of life to save water)

(Once again, urging the public to cooperate)

(Around 3 pm today near the intersection of Maebashi City)

(A large truck suddenly crashed into a group of elementary school students on their way home)

(Two children are critically injured and unconscious)

(Including the driver, a total of four people sustained injuries of varying severity)

(Drip, drip, splish, splash, la la la)

(Drip, drip, splish, splash, please rain soon)

(My dad is coming to pick me up in his boat)

(Drip, drip, splish, splash, la la la)

(Drip, drip, splish, splash, please rain soon)

(My dad is coming to pick me up in his boat)

What are you doing?

As long as it rains, Dad will come back, right?

So, I'm praying to the rain god.

There's no such thing as a god.

What did you say?

No, nothing.

Let's just have a heavy rain that floods the whole street.

Feel free to pray.

(Drip, drip, splish, splash, please rain soon)

(Everyone gets wet together, it's so much fun)

(Everyone gets wet together, it's so much fun)

But it's not just the cost of water.

In order to maintain the high level of water purification system that Japan is proud of

and a complete water supply system,

That’s why we need to charge.

I see.

You have to explain patiently like this

To gain understanding even if they don't understand,

You still have to ask them for money.

That's our job.

It's tough at first, but you get used to it.

I see.

Did the Koide family contact you after the incident?

Not yet.

Aren't you worried about those two kids?

Worrying won't help.

You should tell your wife about cutting your hand.

This pitiful story of a big man cooking for himself

It should arouse her sympathy.

I didn't expect the bleeding to be so bad.

I panicked and found the medicine cabinet empty.

My wife is very careful with the kids' medicine.

She always makes sure there are no allergens.

So she seems to have taken everything back to her parents' house.

She's a really good mom.

I don't understand any of this.

If I get hurt, my parents won't bother to treat me.

They'll just scold me for causing trouble.

Stop forgetting your keys all the time.

who are you?

I'm from the water company.

It's annoying to be interrupted halfway through a shower.

Are you Mr. Imanishi?

Your water bill is overdue. We have to cut off your water.

Cut off my water? That's ridiculous.

This is our third visit.

And I also gave you a warning letter to stop the water supply a month ago.

How was I supposed to know?

We have no choice but to cut off your water.

Don't cut off my water! Hey!

It's the rules.

Why do you do this? who do you think You Are?

It's not about me.

Whether to cut off the water is your choice.

It's just that simple.

What's wrong? What happened?

Water bill.

Sorry, how much is it?

The total for four months is 26,841 yuan.

Get in there.

Don't push me.

Here you go.

Alright, pick it up quickly.

Hey!

You've been acting strange since earlier...

What?

I just remembered,

The water supply to my house was shut off two years ago.

Back then,

My mom came all the way from our hometown to pay the water bill.

Your relationship with your mother and girlfriend seems good.

Do you plan to marry your girlfriend?

What the heck?

How can I maintain a good relationship?

Can you teach me?

Whether it's with parents or a wife.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Well, I don’t know either.

Let me calculate how much you owe. Please wait a moment.

That kid was really nasty.

Is it because of the weather?

No matter how much money he brings, I don't want to give him water.

I really want that brat to know how precious water is.

But didn't you think water shouldn't be charged for?

That's a different story when dealing with that kind of person.

I'd charge him for even sunbathing and breathing air.

The next house happens to be where those two kids live.

Should we visit them on the way?

What's the point? Buy them popsicles?

Good idea. Let's do that.

I'll buy popsicles with a lottery draw.

If they're hungry, will you treat them to a meal?

Should we help them with their water, electricity, and gas bills?

Or do you want to replace their missing father?

No…

If you don't pay, we'll shut off the water. Once you pay, we'll turn it back on.

This is all we can do.

I always feel a bit sorry.

This should be enough.

Yes... that's what I mean.

Can't we have a timely rain as soon as possible?

If there's a large-scale water cut, it'll be hard for the business.

By then, the fish in the shop won't survive.

Though it's hard to bear,

(high-nutrition goldfish feed, special price 498 yen) But we have to start with the cheaper ones.

What are you doing?

Do you want to buy it?

Of course, I want to buy it. It's the captain's favorite feed.

Hey!

Isn't that the mother of those sisters?

From the water company...

I've been waiting for your contact.

What?

Your kids should have given you my business card and the water cutoff notice, right?

what are you talking about?

So, you haven't been home since then?

Mind your own business.

If you're too busy to come home, you should be able to afford the water bill.

If you clear the water bill, I can turn the water back on now.

But right now, it's not possible.

Where are you going?

Leaving the water bill and your daughters all alone?

Are you going to the seaside?

Or to the cool town with afternoon thunderstorms?

What do you, who live on taxpayers' money, understand?

I've slept with people like you several times.

All of you are stingy and lying perverts.

But the one I met this time is different.

I'm not with him for money.

Timing is crucial. I haven't told him about the children yet.

But he will...

He will definitely understand, and he will definitely accept everything about me.

Although it's not now,

Both the water bill and everything else will be smoothly resolved.

Why do you only care about yourself?

Can you even call yourself a mother?

As I thought,

You and my husband are the same, you smell like water.

A man like you can't even protect your family.

Do you have the right to lecture me?

Is your family very happy?

The person I met this time doesn't smell like water,

Only the smell of iron and fire.

That's why I believe in him.

Kumiko, I'll go check the other side.

Okay.

Ah!

Oh my god, so nostalgic.

When I was your age, I did the same thing.

You're out of money, right? You can't even afford rice balls.

Right.

I know a guy who loves kids.

Do you want me to introduce you?

Hold on, you can easily make 100,000 yen in one night.

Sister, I found a 100-yen coin.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Make sure to escape properly in the end.

Don't let it end in a place like this.

Strange? Did mom come back?

Is this a gift from mom for us?

Can I eat this?

(Keiko, Kumiko: Sorry for always being like this)

(I'll definitely help you cut your hair, just wait for me)

(Mom)

Let's have some snacks.

What does the water smell like?

What?

My wife just said I smell like cigarettes...

Kida.

yes?

I've been inexplicably thirsty since a while ago.

Will you go have a drink with me?

Sure, it's been a while.

Let's go.

The water is so heavy.

So why did you choose this job?

I just went with the flow.

I've heard that before.

Can't you tell me a little more while you're drunk?

I didn't get along with my parents since I was young.

I started working at fifteen, looking for a place to settle down.

Then I happened to pass the job transfer exam, that's all.

Going with the flow, just like water.

Something like that.

So my attitude towards this job is also going with the flow.

Like water?

Like water?

Is this enough?

I hope this is enough.

Children shouldn't be out at this time.

Where do you live?

Strange?

Huh?

He's gone.

I wanted something like this when I was a kid.

It looks just like a real gun.

But they still didn't buy it for me.

Looks real, right?

Yeah, very real... Wait, don't do that.

Kida?

Why don't we use this to stage a terror attack?

What?

Take over the water reserve, claim the water for ourselves.

The guards at the water intake don't seem like much.

With determination and resolve, even we can do it.

Then just shut off the main water supply.

I see.

Then negotiate with the government.

Negotiate what?

It's obvious, free water.

Might as well ask for free beer while we're at it.

As a compromise, I could settle for sparkling wine.

No, only water.

Why only water...

So…

Let me choose the area that needs water the most.

Then we'll open the water for free.

Where should I turn on the water first...

Of course, at your wife's place.

That might make her come home.

Are you still going to sleep alone?

I always thought Kosuke looked a lot like you.

But recently, he seems more like me.

Isn't that natural?

He's your child.

He becomes like you...

Don’t you think he’s cute?

exactly the opposite

That's why I'm not sure what to do.

I don't want to repeat the mistakes my parents made.

But they're the only parents I've had.

So I really don't know how to deal with him.

If you don’t know,

let's explore it together with Takashi.

Let's find a way together, the three of us.

Let's all sleep together.

I smell too much of cigarette smoke.

I'll sleep alone tonight.

I see.

Good night.

You've been wearing that expression a lot lately.

Just say whatever you want to say.

You really are like a block of wood, Takuji Kida.

Huh?

What's this?

What is it?

A pregnancy test.

The result is positive.

It's not 100% certain yet.

It just means there's a high chance of pregnancy.

I'm going to the hospital tomorrow.

If I am pregnant, what are you going to do?

What are you going to do, Takuji Kida?

(To Mom: My tooth fell out)

(Don't forget to look)

(Kumiko)

(Futaba Canteen)

Takashi,

Look, it’s a sunflower.

I know.

Come here.

It's too hot.

How about we go to the beach to cool off?

If you're coming, at least let me know in advance.

I often come here with Takashi.

If I had known better, I would not have brought a bouquet.

It's not true.

It's the first time you've given me flowers.

But if possible,

I'd like to receive your flowers earlier.

Didn't you tell me once?

The three of us, me, you, and Takashi, can explore together.

Find a way to get along together.

I said it several times,

But you never wanted to do that, did you?

Wake up alone, eat alone,

Water the sunflowers alone,

And then sleep alone.

It should fit my habits from childhood to adulthood.

But without you, it feels so lonely.

Don't tell me you feel lonely.

When the three of us lived together,

You always looked lonely.

Unconsciously,

Even Takashi has started to show a similar expression.

but...

After that child came to live here, things gradually changed.

Our home, being a diner, has always been lively.

I used to find it annoying and wanted to escape.

In the end, it seems like this is where I belong.

Please let me stay here for now.

And think about the future.

I understand.

I don't expect you to come back.

But...

How about going to the beach?

The three of us, let's go now.

I want to do something for Takashi now.

Let's leave it for this time.

(Notifications disabled)

Let's go.

Hmm.

Hey, I'm calling the police.

Sister...

Don't cry.

This is also water, don't waste it.

(Mom, please come back)

(Battery low, shutting down)

Um... I wanted to talk to you about something.

Can you listen while we eat?

Sure.

Are you feeling unwell?

You seem different today.

Sorry, my girlfriend called, I need to take this.

Hello?

Really?

Wait, I saw it too.

This isn't your first time, come with me.

Sorry, I'll pay. Will that be okay?

Of course, there's a problem. It's not something you can just pay off...

- Sorry. - Wait.

Wait...

Wait a moment.

I originally intended to use this money to take my family to the beach,

but I don't need it now.

You take it.

I didn't ask for your help.

I hate everyone, whether it's my parents or the people here.

My sister and I will figure things out ourselves.

This is my first time…

I don't want to continue going with the flow.

Please let me make this change.

Mr. Iwakiri, what are you doing?

Wait... Mr. Iwakiri, hold on.

Why are you doing this?

Sunlight, air and water should all be free.

No one can take these things away from you.

Help me change the water.

Doing this won't change anything.

In the end, it'll all be the same anyway.

No, it won't.

It's not just our home.

Like rain, if we fill the whole street with water,

everything will return to normal.

Let's bring heavy rain to this dry town.

It feels so cool and comfortable.

So comfortable.

Sister, come join us.

Come on.

There's a rainbow.

Mr. Iwakiri?

Mr. Iwakiri, what's wrong?

Iwakiri, what are you doing?

How are we supposed to explain this to the public?

This is just the beginning.

Mr. Iwakiri, things are getting out of hand.

Are you okay?

Mr. Iwakiri, this is too much. This can't go on.

Let go of me.

please calm down.

It's still dry everywhere.

This alone isn't enough.

Mr. Iwakiri, this won't work.

You should be able to understand me, right?

I'm sorry. I also have things I need to protect.

You, of all people...

I'm sorry.

I'm calling the police.

This can't go on like this.

This can't go on like this.

It hurts. Let go of me.

This is very dangerous.

What are you thinking?

it hurts.

Stop, please stop.

Stop, please stop.

It's very dangerous.

You look good.

I think you should be aware and submit your resignation.

That way, we can withdraw the charges.

You should be able to receive your full retirement benefits.

I understand.

It seems like we can lift the water restriction today.

goodbye.

I wonder how the sisters are doing now?

I can't disclose that.

You forcibly took away the girl without being prosecuted, isn't that enough?

Is this really enough?

Please don't go near their house in the future.

Even if you do, they're not there anymore.

Even though the rain has stopped, I can still smell the rainwater.

You've worked hard.

By the way,

congratulations on leaving the detention center.

Here's a popsicle you can win a prize with.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

You really startled me.

You actually carried out a terrorist attack.

This terrorist attack is too petty.

Are you getting married to your girlfriend?

Yes, I'm marrying her out of wedlock, just like you.

You can do it well.

Do you have to leave your job?

If you try hard enough, you should still be able to stay, right?

I'll be very lonely.

Or maybe this is for the best

If I win the lottery, you don't have to resign.

I didn't win anything.

ah

I won.

Consider this a wedding gift.

Please give my regards to your wife and child.

Thanks for your hard work.

Yesterday, two girls came here and left this for you.

They are leaving and hope you can take care of it.

(To Mr. Iwakiri)

The staff from the institution will be here soon to take you.

You will be living there from today.

If you need to use the restroom, please do so quickly.

It's all right now, don't worry.

Just wait a moment.

ah,

my tooth fell out.

Huh?

Listen, about Mom and Dad...

It's okay, I still have you.

Sis, it smells like a swimming pool here.

Paddling, paddling, posing, posing.

Paddling, paddling, posing, posing.

Paddling, paddling, posing, posing.

Paddling, paddling, posing, posing.

It looks so cool and comfortable.

Let's just jump in like this.

But I'm not wearing a swimsuit, and I don't have a float.

Don't worry, sister will be with you.

We can make the winds blow and the rains fall.

There's nothing we can't do.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Ready...

Hello?

(dad?)

Takashi?

(I…)

(want to go to the beach)
