"Getting off the boat at her island" "You're back." "Did you go out for a smoke again?" "I only had one." "I will quit smoking next month." "You said you were gonna quit this year?" "Honey, shall we... take down the straw rope... hanging on the door for the new year?" "I forgot!" "What a quiet New Year Eve." "Yeah." "Nobody comes back for the Eve." "Kuriko, Kuriko" "Kuriko!" "Hirose San!" "I never heard you call me like this." "Kenta." "That's the way you used to call me." "We haven't met for quite a long time." "And you still remember me clearly." "It's only five years." "How could I ever forget you?" "Yeah." "You haven't changed at all." "Still...very pretty." "Thanks." "And your stubborn temper didn't change either." "Are you coming back to see your family?" "You haven't been back for 2 years." "Are you still living in Tokyo?" "I heard you got married?" "Are you still single now?" "Yes." "Really?" "I know." "Then can we date?" "I got my car here, can I can drive you wherever you wanna go." "I'm glad to be your guide here." "What about we go to that island watching those ocean waves?" "Have you ever been there?" "Not yet." "How long can we stay on the island?" "Around a week." "Then see you later." "Come visit me whenever you have time." "See you later." "What can I do for you?" "Dad." "Kuriko!" "I'm back." "The classroom changed a lot." "Not bad, right?" "How do you feel about staying here?" "To be honest, I didn't feel so good at first." "But... your dad said that he must live in a western style house whatsoever." "However, the kitchen is large and nice." "It's much better than the place we used to live in, right?" "So you do live in the school!" "That's your dad's decision." "I told him that new schools will show up." "But he insisted to live here no matter what." "Your dad wanted to live here, and he didn't care what other people said." "However, he also has to... be responsible to take care of everything here." "What about the second floor of the school?" "It is just like the original school." "At the beginning, we need to do a lot of cleaning and fixing work." "It was exhausting." "But your dad just likes here." "Dad asked his daughter..." "What can I do for you?" "That's what he said." "Then he looked so surprised... without a single word." "That's because you didn't tell him about your return." "No wonder he would be surprised." "Sorry." "You haven't been back home for 3 years, right?" "2 years." "I was here on the New Year day 2 years ago." "Is that right?" "Yes." "Anyway, you haven't been back for a long time." "Sorry." "Your dad was thinking of you all the time." "How's Kuriko's life there?" "Happy?" "Did he mention that a lot?" "No, he didn't." "Although you dad won't say anything like that, your mother still understands..." "Is there anything that happened to her?" "What could it be?" "Did she get fired?" "Or dumped by some guy?" "Could that be the case?" "You haven't been back for 2 or 3 years, and suddenly you're here." "I don't think she could be fired." "How can you know?" "She told me that she just asked for a few days break relax." "Really?" "She said she doesn't need to pay anything staying here." "And it's the first time that dad runs a countryside inn." "I wanna try it once myself." "Then that's fine." "If you care about her that much, why don't you go ask her yourself?" "You are a teacher, and you should be good at it, right?" "How could you compare your adult daughter to those junior school kids?" "I better not to bother her." "Your call." "How long did she say she's gonna stay?" "Well..." "What?" "You didn't ask her?" "She just arrived, and I don't have a chance." "Where do I sit today?" "Can I sit here?" "Is this dish from mom?" "She learned it from a TV cooking show." "Awesome." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Pasta!" "You've been living in Tokyo for quite a while, and you still don't what that is?" "It's not pasta." "It's called veg-cream." "Veg-cream." "A mixture of vegetable, ham and cream." "We could have prepared you some fish... if you've called us." "We've could made your favorite squid." "I only made a few dishes." "Help yourselves." "Ok." "This is really amazing." "I'm gonna take my first bite." "How does it taste." "It's so yummy!" "Mom, you're such an excellent cook." "Right, dad?" "Dad..." "I..." "I..." "Anybody here?" "Anybody here?" "Is that Kuriko?" "Yes, it's me." "Long time no see." "Are you coming from Tokyo?" "Yes." "I've heard about your job." "Are you writing novels?" "No really." "I'm just working in a publishing company." "Really?" "That's awesome." "Is your father still doing great?" "Yes, thanks." "Kuriko!" "Auntie." "Long time no see." "It's really long time." "When is the last time you saw her?" "She was then a high school student." "Is that right?" "Then it has been 3 or 4 years." "I'm 25 now." "What?" "25?" "I didn't realize that." "Don't be so dumb." "You're so bothering." "Go get us some tea." "Only the two of us, living just the life we want." "And we almost forgot the existence of time." "Thank you for such a generous gift!" "Come on in please!" "There's still another auntie I need... to visit today, so..." "You may go visit her some other time." "Just come in." "Well..." "Ok." "Hi." "Hi." "Anybody here?" "Excuse me." "Look who's here." "Hi." "What a surprise!" "Kuriko!" "Haven't seen you for a long time." "You become even prettier." "It has been really a long time." "Well..." "You don't have to say things like that." "Are you doing well?" "Yes." "Are you living by yourself?" "Or with your lover?" "By myself." "You big brother must have given you a huge lecture on that." "Like: "Come back soon", or "Get married ASAP" and things like that." "He didn't say anything to me." "But he'd said a lot to me." "He must have different ways in talking with his sister and his own daughter." "It seems you know him well." "Maybe it's a good thing not to get married so early." "And you can get more focus on your job." "Right." "I was thinking of leaving this island, and getting myself a new life." "But I've been thinking about that for 10 years." "I don't know, it seems that living here.... could make people become lazier." "You're a little bit different." "It will make you look more energetic if you get your hair fixed." "Let me fix it for you." "Come here and sit." "I still need to visit some other place today..." "Just relax and leave it to me." "But..." "Hi." "The customer is here." "Go find yourself a for-men-only barber shop." "What are you talking about?" "Isn't this the only barber shop on this island?" "Don't you have a job?" "How could you come here for a hair cut during your office hours?" "You told me last time... to come here twice a month, don't you remember?" "You forced me to come here!" "Ok." "Please sit here." "Please excuse me." "How long you're gonna stay here?" "It's just temporary..." "You can drop by anytime you want and get your hair cut here." "Do come back again!" "Sure." "Who's that young lady?" "My sister." "This one is busted." "Shall we borrow one?" "No." "Then we go buy a new one." "We don't have much spare money this month." "Then we still use this one." "Hi." "Hi." "My father asked me to take this to the teacher." "It's a huge a fish!" "Is Kuriko back?" "You already know." "I just ran into her." "She'd never come back after she went out." "She was back once." "Then she told me that she was heading for Mountain Son, and she left." "Did she come back yesterday?" "When did she left?" "Kuriko was living in Mountain Son when she was in high school." "She must have a lot old friends there." "What a waste of such a huge fish." "Then we two eat it." "It's really huge!" "Say hi to your father." "Ok." "Thank you." "Excuse me, do you know where I can find a boat to Mid-island?" "Take the road along the river on the right, and you will find one." "I see, thank you." "What do you wanna eat?" "I can't afford those fancy foods, because I don't earn a lot." "I want fish." "You must have had fish on the island." "No, I haven't." "I just arrived yesterday." "Is that right?" "Fish." "Stewed fish is ready!" "Leave it to me." "This is for whom?" "The customer at table 3." "Right." "Welcome." "Sorry for being late." "Thanks." "Wow." "It looks yummy." "Delicious." "The fish here tastes so special." "The fresh fish caught alive on the island is the best." "Yeah, I've heard of it." "I guess that the fish fished at the place where I lived... is the best in the world." "But..." "I already got used to the frozen fish in Tokyo's supermarkets." "You...." "Is there anything wrong?" "What?" "Every time you called me...." "You had some favor to ask." "Not like that." "Brother." "Why don't you explain it to dad?" "You make every single decision... for yourself." "Are you married?" "It's not like that." "Or you two ready registered to live together?" "No way!" "Then what's his job?" "He's a photographer." "Shooting those naked girls?" "No, he shoots for some newspaper." "Like a battle field reporter?" "Not to that extend." "His proposing makes you worried?" "I'm not worried at all." "That guy is the only one in my heart." "I can never understand you." "Why don't tell your parents yourself?" "And you don't need me to deliver the message." "Did you come back to the island for that?" "No." "Of cause I plan to tell my dad... and my mom too." "He also wants to meet my parents." "But that's not the reason." "I left the island for Tokyo... and I miss my parents a lot." "I almost forgot everything about this island and all the people here.... and randomly chose somebody to marry." "That's just me, like everybody else." "I want to live with my parents.... at least before my wedding." "I do get what you said." "Didn't you think too much?" "You don't have to think too much about dad." "I plan to go back recently." "How about your wife?" "She also was born on the island." "Is that right?" "Our house build on the island is quite small too." "And you may get married at any moment." "Now you have a home." "That inn is in the village." "You don't know?" "The inn that our parents live in... is build over our torn down old house." "Then the old house doesn't exist anymore?" "The old house that I used to live in?" "Kuriko" "You haven't changed at all." "I only stayed there for 2 years, how could I change?" "Still like a high school girl." "You should not have said that." "Isn't that right?" "What a cozy store!" "My friends from the troupe always make their rehearsal here." "Are you still acting?" "Yes, my job as a bank clerk is only a cover-up." "Can I stay here for tonight?" "That's what I'm thinking about." "Sorry." "Thank you." "Dad." "You are back." "Brother said hi to you guys." "You went to see Souhei, did you?" "Did you?" "It's better to buy a new one." "Dad" "Dad" "Dad..." "I..." "Let me give you a hand." "I don't need your help here." "Although I am slow." "How about you go talk to your Mom about what happened to Souhei." "Dad, the house we have on the hillside" "It's gone, is it?" "I didn't mention that in the letter?" "You did mention about opening a hotel, but..." "Is that true?" "I didn't mention about the house?" "I am so sorry." "Your mom and me had to make a decision." "That house is not the same as it was before anymore." "I love it there." "We can see the ocean." "Kuriko, you have lived there for a period of time before." "All the things are stored in the storeroom." "Can you go double check?" "There should be good things in there." "Right." "Kuriko" "Is the storeroom still in the science classroom?" "Yes" "Dad" "Kuriko is getting married." "Do you know your own things?" "You helped me clean up so neatly." "What about those clothes?" "It's too bad to throw all these away." "You go talk to your Mom, how about that?" "Yes" "Oh, I forgot to close the window on the second floor." "the window on the second floor?" "school's second floor" "You have to keep the air floating all the time." "I am going to close the window." "OK, thank you." "This is the song of Princess Crane." "It's hard for you to understand the meaning of it." "So I don't want to waste any time explaining to you." "Empty shell is... seashell that has nothing inside but only the echo of the sound." "So it means sadness." "Next week..." "San Island is going to be visited." "That's great..." "Has anyone been to San Island?" "I've been there before Really?" "Suijyou is a transfer student." "Is that far away?" "It takes about two hours by ship." "Have you heard the story of Princess Crane?" "Yes, people call her" "Setonaikai's Joan of Arc." "Suijyou, What does that mean?" "Joan of Arc was a French girl in the Middle-Age Europe who fought against England." "Princess Crane was fought for the Marine." "That's what people says." "That's all for today." "We are going back by ship" "But we are going to be delayed because of the bad weather condition." "Every one, stand up." "Thank you, teacher." "Do you want to go out for lunch?" "My mom made me lunch already." "Is there any dim sum?" "Teacher Yamashita was mad today." "Why?" "Someone fell asleep in his class." "I didn't fall asleep." "Neither did I." "How did you do on the test?" "I got 18 points." "You have to study harder." "Kuriko" "Are you fall in love?" "Aren't you fall in love with someone?" "What are you talking about?" "Who's attractive to me?" "Princess Crane's love story is that she falls in love with the Black Hawk, who has been her best friend forever." "The person you fall in love with must be me, Kenta." "It hurts." "You really are Princess Crane." "stronger than boys." "Kuriko is a boy." "Kuriko is a boy." "You talk about her again." "Dad, I didn't know you still can do that kind of thing." "I don't know if it works or not." "I thought you are just a book worm." "Are you going out?" "I will stop by Mountain Son." "I am going to be back early today." "Dad" "Is the study activity still in progress?" "Yes, it's still in progress." "The activity still goes on at that new school." "It's increased by 5 people this year." "Your brother had lived there before." "Really!" "I'll be right back." "The daytime hot spring is good ,isn't it?" "Yes, it's the best." "I am talking about that thing." "What happened to you and your first love since then?" "I don't know." "We didn't have any contact since that." "Things just happen like that." "I don't know why keep forgetting about everybody." "How could this be?" "Kuriko, could things that you said be wrong?" "Although I was wrong, too." "But..." "You listen to me the final part of the practice starts today" "Do you want to come and see?" "Yes, sure" "Good morning..." "Morning..." "How are you?" "Kuriko, be careful." "OK" "Oh, isn't she the leading actor?" "This time, I am the assistant of sound effect and performance." "The leading actor is..." "Look!" "That's the leading actor." "Those junior students from acting club are here." "They are the students of this senior high school." "Princess Crane." "Kuriko, do you know the story of Princess Crane?" "Yes, I've heard of it." "Everybody, come here." "The practice starts now." "Everybody focus, let's do this." "Yes..." "What is Sato doing?" "Him?" "I haven't seen him." "Sorry, sorry" "My wife is having a fever." "I don't know what to do." "Is the light ready yet?" "Yes" "Is your wife OK?" "Yes, she's going to be fine." "Can you make it?" "I have something else to do." "Can you take this kid with you?" "OK, I am right on it." "You enjoy the show." "They are ready to attack." "OK, attack now!" "Yes." "My lord Yasushige," "Princess" "My lord Yasushige, do you really want to make this attack?" "Please take care of it, princess." "Why?" "Why is this happening?" "The enemy takes no action at island." "I want to surprise them." "I want them to be disordered." "We must make our way to live." "That's our only way, There's no way out." "Let Crane go with you." "That's unnecessary." "Except for the princess," "Who can take care of this?" "Black Hawk." "Princess." "I won't die that easily." "Take this." "Princess..." "Goodbye..." "Black Hawk." "Takashi did live in my house for a while." "I remember that he's from some where else." "Don't you know anything about where he live?" "His Address?" "yes, I want to have a reunion once in a while." "So..." "Really, Kuriko and him were classmate." "You are talking like a fool again." "At that time, Kuriko came to my house so often." "Seh was close to Takashi." "It's time for us to harvest the oranges." "They are going to help us, aren't they?" "Yes" "I remember that now." "Takashi sent us a New Year card" "This year?" "No, it's been a long time." "Let me go find that card." "You stay there, do not move." "I am so sorry." "No No No, That's OK." "I am back." "You are back." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." "Aren't you the student who want to go to the island?" "Yes" "Sir, how many children have you adopted?" "How many?" "About 7 or 8," "That many..." "We didn't have many children at home." "So live at ease." "Where are you from?" "Tokyo." "Really." "He should be a freshman this March." "He told us that he does want to go back yet." "Can I ask you a question?" "What do you like about this island?" "Anything you like." "Stars" "What?" "Stars!" "Are you from this island?" "Yes" "Although I live in Tokyo now, but..." "You can see many stars on this island." "That's why it's still famous." "I really don't know anything about that." "Shunsuke , you are back." "There's fish in the kitchen." "OK." "I found the New Year card." "When was it sent?" "How many years ago is that?" "That has to be 10 years ago." "What are you thinking?" "You only know a bit, don't be so happy." "You're still not patient enough." "Takashi san even if you go back." "do not forget about me." "Please don't forget me." "Hey Kenta, Kenta!" "You don't have to call me that loud." "Why?" "It will become a rumor on this island." "No one's here." "Someone might be listening." "I don't care if there's rumor or not." "But what will the teacher say?" "Do you have time tomorrow?" "I'll have to fish." "But if you want to date me." "I can skip fishing a bit." "Really?" "You tell me, where do you want to go?" "I want to see the ocean wave." "I really wanted to see that before." "Is that for me?" "That belongs to Kuriko." "She's back." "Want to do something for her, too." "Will our daughter who's been living in a big city wear anything like that?" "Look, this is the most fashionable color of the year." "Where is Kuriko?" "She went for a walk, will be back soon." "Good." "What?" "Island and ocean." "I look at them everyday." "Really?" "Kenta, you are so happy." "I live by myself, you call that happy?" "That's not what I meant, but..." "Do you still remember?" "We were on the same boat." "Full speed forward." "Hey, Kenta!" "Don't you want to sit down?" "Do you know where this road leads to?" "Don't worry." "I passed by here on my last visit to this island." "for what?" "Just..." "With a girl?" "That's all it was about." "Where's that girl from?" "That's past already." "Come on, hurry up." "It's so beautiful." "Where's our island?" "That should be it." "Which one?" "Don't you recognize your own island?" "Look, that island surrounded by fog." "Right, that's the one." "So Kenta san, where do we go next?" "Still want to go?" "Just the two of us, yet you..." "I can't stand it anymore." "You tell me your feelings." "Kuriko, wait a minute please." "No." "Why?" "Kuriko, why are you in such a hurry?" "Where do you want to go?" "Kuriko, wait for me." "Why do you walk so fast?" "This is Prices Crane's bell." "And this is Princess Crane's armor." "At the beginning of the fight, Princess Crane fought against the Mr. Ouchi from Yamaguchi." "It's here, General of the San Island Marine." "That's how Princess Crane became the daughter of this temple." "Yasushige Ochi , whose nicknamed is Black Hawk, fought with the Princess" "He was died in the battle field" "She missed Black Hawk so much, so she began to sing the song that teacher wrote on the board a few days ago." "What happened to Princess Crane and that guy since that?" "That's the legend people keep talking about." "I don't know much about what happened but Princess Crane loved Black Hawk when she was a little girl." "She jumped into the river and killed herself." "Some people say that she was died in the battlefield." "Teacher." "What is it?" "What's that bell over there?" "Kuriko is still a girl." "She's first interested in bells." "I am interested in guys, guys." "OK, OK, calm down." "I am sorry, Kuriko." "Listen to me... they said Princess Crane's bell." "It was filled with all her love." "I want this one." "that bell, is it?" "Just a minute please" "One more please." "Please give me one more." "Kenta." "Can you do me a favor?" "A favor?" "What is it?" "Can you take me to Takashi's hometown?" "Takashi's hometown?" "OK" "I am shocked." "You still want to see Takashi's." "I am sorry." "But don't you want to see him again." "Of course I want to see him again." "We hardly dated once." "Were you two friends?" "Yes, Takashi..." "How is he?" "I am sorry." "I feel like I lied to you." "You really did lie to me." "I am so sorry." "That's OK." "I know what it feels like." "But do you know his address?" "Yes, I know." "Although it's been 10 years." "Make a right turn there." "Here?" "The houses here have the same design." "Can you tell the difference?" "There are numbers on the house." "Keep going." "Turn left here." "It's here." "No address number here." "Let me try." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "It seems nobody's there." "It's empty." "It seems nobody's living here." "I'll go ask somebody over there." "Thanks." "Got anything?" "She said he switched his job years ago." "It's Takashi's dad." "Then he did live here." "How long ago exactly?" "Around 10 years." "It was a long time ago." "Kuriko, where do you wanna go?" "Kuriko..." "We can never meet again." "Seeing you is all that I want." "Maybe it's really impossible." "Some many years passed," "and you still have feelings for Takashi, right?" "At that time I already understood," "could it be real?" "Takashi used to play baseball here." "We made a deal that... we all joined a baseball club after entering high school.... and we would meet at the provincial baseball game." "Is that right?" "But we were eliminated in a local regular game." "I wonder how he looks now." "What do you say we go find Takashi?" "We can go check his address out from his company." "We don't need to." "I've been trying to forget him... but all of a sudden I want to see him." "I don't think that God is kind enough to give me such a permission." "Time passed, and people changed too." "I guess Takashi san... had already forget everything about me." "I heard that in the mountain where Takashi san lived... there was a fantastic street." "I've heard of it too." "Kenta, you still remember it clearly." "3, 2, 1 Ok." "3, 2, 1" "There was a fantastic street around my place." "What is that?" "Where is the street you mentioned?" "It's deep inside the mountain." "The deepest part of the mountain." "There was a cola mine there before." "It was a big village with schools and cinemas and stuffs." "But no people now are living there, leaving only the vestige of the village." "My grandpa used to live there." "Have you been there?" "Yeah, and there's a power plant too." "And there're spectacular vestiges inside the mountain, like those of the famous Inca Empire." "Are you kidding me?" "No." "I can take you there if you want." "When?" "I promise to take you there sooner or later." "Then it's a deal." "Ok, it's a deal." "Thanks." "Not here." "It's really beautiful, like you described." "Did he want to see this place?" "And he wanted to see Kuriko's surprised face." "It's cold." "Cause it's very high here." "It's freezing here, let's hurry up." "Are you alright?" "You look tired." "Not at all." "I like this kind of work." "Thank you." "Kuriko!" "Kuriko!" "Are you in there?" "I'm coming in." "You're not up yet." "I probably had a fever." "This is not good." "Your forehead is hot." "I'll bring you a thermometer." "I guess you just caught a cold." "It'll be fine." "You'll never know until you see the doctor." "I know it." "I've been living alone all the time." "All I need is a nap." "You must take your temperature." "Mom." "What's wrong?" "I'm sorry." "My catching a cold brought you so much trouble." "What are you talking about?" "Mom." "What's wrong this time?" "My clothes in the closet..." "You're still keeping it?" "What clothes?" "The skirt that I wore when I was a kid." "Really?" "I thought you don't need it any more." "Mom made it for me." "Yeah." "Kuriko said, mom looks funny when making it." "And you never put it on, am I right?" "I was such a rebelling girl, and I didn't even want to wear such a cute skirt." "If you're going to have a daughter, you can put it on her." "Yeah." "It'll fit her for sure." "Please take good care of it." "Definitely." "May I come in?" "For sure." "How is Kuriko's fever?" "It's not a big deal." "Did you ask me to bring some medicine?" "Here it is." "I'm sorry." "And this is for you too." "What's this ice-cream for?" "Every time Kuriko caught a cold, she'd ask for an ice-cream." "She's not a kid anymore." "Would you like an ice-cream?" "Thanks, dad." "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Where're we going?" "Where're we going, grandma?" "To Sansyn san's place." "Sansyn san!" "Put your picture up there, Kuriko." "What for?" "To make a wish." "What wish?" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Mom!" "Dad!" "You don't need some more sleep?" "The fever is gone." "The medicine worked." "You really ok?" "Yes." "It's the ice-cream that worked." "Do you know which island Sansyn lives on?" "Why do you wanna know?" "I heard his grandma mentioning it." "I don't know." "There's a temple called Sansyn on that mountain." "Grandma took me there." "Is that true?" "She never took me there." "Grandma and I had been there." "And I was lost on the way back." "I kept running, running alone." "It was like a maze there." "That's the Island of God." "The roads are so complicated there." "The island of God!" "That should be before your mom and I got married." "I had been teaching there... for more than 2 years." "Right." "But I really haven't heard of a place called Sansyn." "I'd been to the Island of God a couple of times... but not for Sansyn." "There must be such a place." "What did you go there for?" "If you make a wish there, then all kinds of illness can be cured." "The teacher didn't feel well lately?" "No." "You want to make a wish?" "I know, you still wanna see Takashi, right?" "No." "I just wanna make sure if there's really such a place." "Kuriko, that's the Island of God." "I guess that's the mountain." "There's no mountain there." "I'll be right back." "Wait me here." "Be careful." "Excuse me." "Can I ask you something?" "What is it?" "Has this temple always been here?" "I thought it would be smaller." "There had been no big change of this building." "It had been here for 50 years." "Do you know a temple called Sansyn?" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Sansyn" "You don't know?" "I don't know." "Is that so?" "Thanks a lot." "You're welcome." "Grandma." "Grandma!" "Mom!" "Dad!" "Is that true?" "Yes." "What are you talking about?" "You thought it's true, right?" "You just made it up all in you mind." "It really doesn't exist." "You dad is always superstitious." "No, that's not true." "The road where I was lost does exist." "I'm pretty sure it's that island." "How about I go back to the office and do some research on it?" "About that Sansyn" "Please let me know if you find anything." "Ok, I'll keep you informed." "Excuse me." "Is Kuriko here?" "It's Kenta." "Kuriko, I found him." "What?" "I found Sansyn!" "Not that one." "It's Takashi." "I saw you were upset, then I went to check it back at my company." "Really?" "Takashi's father retired after transferred to Tokyo." "Then they went back to the hometown where they used to live." "Where is his hometown." "Here's the address." "Honai!" "Does Takashi live there as well?" "I don't know, you may go there and check it out yourself." "Right." "You may go by yourself this time." "Then see you." "Kenta." "Thank you." "Don't mention it." "I'll introduce some girls to you next time." "Excuse me." "What can I do for you?" "Are you living here?" "Yes." "I'm a classmate of Suijyou Takashi San." "My name is Kuriko." "My parents are on a trip now..." "You're his... sister." "Really." "May I know.... where your brother is now?" "No... well..." "When your brother was young... we were in the same school... on that island." "I may have heard of him mentioning you." "He said he wanna visit there once more." "Really?" "I'm sorry." "Brother passed away." "When he was in high school... there was a car accident.... and that bell...." "You mean this one." "This bell is my brother's most precious treasure." "You can keep it." "I don't need it." "We are going to separate soon, and we may never meet each other again, go to different high schools, then grow up to adults." "I may even forget you." "But please don't forget me." "We bring these bells with us, no matter what or when." "You keep this." "I don't know when I'll start to forget... and I'll live along a lonely life." "Maybe I'll get married and become a happy man." "Is that good?" "Forget everything." "Will I be happy?" "Kuriko." "Kuriko, hurry up." "The fish's gonna run away." "I know." "Dad, where are we gonna stop?" "There's a good place around this main island." "It's a no-man island." "A no-man island!" "Take this." "Hurry up." "Ok." "We are on this boat again." "The boat is a must to islands." "That's right." "...like transiting cargoes or patients and stuffs." "When Souhei was in junior school... he was carried to this bed." "Brother!" "Why!" "He got appendicitis." "I've heard of it." "We took him to a hospital, and the doctor said it was just a stomachache." "All parents in the world care about their children." "The day break's coming." "Nothing's on hook." "Yeah, we can't fish anything." "Maybe the direction of the flow changed." "We'd fished a lot here before." "Really?" "Let's go and check it out at the other side." "Grasp my hand." "Dad." "I'm getting married." "Sorry, mom." "I should've discussed it with you first." "You make everything decision for yourself, right?" "Like going to college... and finding your job." "I'm sorry." "Is dad mad at me?" "Perhaps." "For sure he will." "He didn't say anything on the boat back here." "Your mom's mad too." "I'm sorry, really." "But on the second thought," "I'd like to meet your man." "It's hot." "This is really a nice place." "Where did you come from?" "Tokyo." "Tokyo!" "There's something I'd like to ask you." "What is it?" "Is there a man called Kono living around here?" "Kono san!" "His address should be around here." "He was the president of the school." "But he's running an inn lately." "And he'd moved to the inn himself." "His home was here." "Is that right?" "Then it is here." "Do you know him?" "Not quite well." "Then you know him?" "A lot of bad things happened here lately." "No, I'm not talking about the suspect." "I just wanna say hi to him." "Then what do you wanna ask him?" "About his daughter." "You mean Kuriko?" "You know her?" "I knew her well when she was a kid." "When I talk with her dad about the marriage... it looked his serious and frightened." "You know him?" "I know him... but could he be such a scary man?" "Is that so?" "Kuriko hadn't stayed here for a long time, but she's already a grown-up." "What kind of a girl is she now?" "Before I came here, there was something I could not understand." "What is it?" "Why is she so open... so understanding?" "Do you understand now ?" "Yes." "Because she grew up around all these beautiful views." "How do you feel about it?" "I'm back." "You're back." "You're back." "Please prepare the food for one more people." "We have a guest." "I've never heard of that." "We just caught it there." "Please come on in." "Kuriko." "Atsuo." "I was almost lost." "What happened?" "You could call me if you wanna come." "I'm sorry." "Brother's been very supportive to you two." "I've been thinking that when Kuriko is coming to make her hair." "Really?" "You're going to get married." "Please make me prettier." "How about making here shorter?" "What's wrong?" "I'm just too happy... and a little sad as well." "Let's go." "Is it better that we walk her there?" "It's not like we can never meet her again." "I know, but..." "Whom are you knitting this scarf for?" "It's for you." "Spring is coming." "Could we stay here until next year?" "I'll be right back." "Where are you going?" "To visit the school."
