Bara no nai hanaya (2008) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
Are you doing fine?
Are you eating properly?
It's lonely now that we're so far from each other,
but I'm doing fine, so don't worry.
Even so,
don't you be unfaithful!
I'll never forgive you.
I'm joking.
You don't have time for that, right?
You're working hard for your dream, right?
You can do it.
It'll definitely come true.
Because I've got great taste in men.
Well
My dream.
It's really ordinary, but don't laugh.
Flowers,
to decorate my room with flowers.
Hmm just a small apartment
with you, me
and our child.
I'll want to have flowers nearby all the time.
Violets in spring,
sunflowers in summer.
In autumn
And for our anniversary or at times like that,
I'll definitely want roses.
Swearing my unchanging love.
I actually said that
She's moving!
We were talking about it
and we've never seen anything like her.
Such an adorable baby.
We've never seen anything like her.

Happy Birthday Shizuku-chan
Ah! I'm going to be late!
Itadakimasu!
Here, your bento.
Thanks, Daddy.
Well
Hmm?
Seems like it's going to rain today.
I have a foldable umbrella.
Oh, okay.
I'm leaving!
Hey.
What is it again?
Won't you get bullied if you wear something like that?
Why? I'm Miss Popular!
Puppet Muppet.
Did I raise you wrong?
Nah. I think you did well. Chiroru said so too.
I've been wanting to ask you this for a while.
You sure ask many questions in the morning.
Chiroru-chan is your friend?
My best friend.
Shizuku-chan!
I'm leaving.
Chiroru.
Excuse me
Yes?
Shall I lend you an umbrella?
No, thank you.
You'll catch a cold if you get all wet.
Leave me alone.
Why don't you come in?
What are you saying? Why would I go into a stranger's house?
Actually it's my shop.
Your shop?
Yes.
I've turned on the heater so why don't
you come in, and dry your coat too?
What shop is this?
What shop
Shizuku
(Flower Shop)

Episode 1
Here.
Sorry, I just moved here.
While I was walking around, it suddently rained.
By yourself?
Yes, I thought I'd just walk near the station.
I see.
I have to do everything by myself from now on.
This
This is hot so please be careful.
It's hot cocoa.
Ah! Thank you!
Alright.
What?
I'm just thinking that I'm really lucky.
Lucky?
That the first person I met is a florist.
A florist can't be a bad guy, right?
Ah
Excuse me.
But you still don't have any customers
No flower shop is always full of customers.
Really?
So you don't really earn much?
I can still afford to feed myself and my daughter.
You have a daughter?
She's a second grader.
Did you have a divorce?
No well
Your unfaithfulness was the cause of it?
What?
Disgusting.
Guys are all like this.
This is the first time we've met and yet I'm so talkative, sorry.
It's okay.
Somehow I'm scared of the silence.
See? I don't like such pauses.
Sorry. Erm
Since I'm here, I'll buy something.
It's okay.
Since you're treated me so kindly.
It's really nothing
If there's one thing I hate, it's to be pitied.
No
Sorry, my house shakes when the train passes by behind.
I see.
Sorry, my house shakes when the train passes by behind.
I see.
I got a fright.
Well
that's not what I meant.
Then why not.
Even if it weren't you,
if someone were standing outside and getting
wet, I would have done the same thing.
Really.
Alright.
I'll give you a special discount.
What flowers do you like?
For the season now
Roses would be nice.
Deep red roses.
Continue to keep a close watch on this guy.
Get as close to him as you can.
Before we start our lesson today, let me
introduce a new friend to everyone.
Transfer student, Hirota Shougo-kun.
Everyone, be nice to him.
Yes!
Now, go sit at the vacant seat behind.
I'll start the lesson now.
Open your books to page 38.
We've done that.
Hmm, Asano-san, read it out loud.
Let's draw a tree!
Ne~, Shougo-kun let's eat our bentos together.
Hurry and sit down.
Quick, everyone's waiting.
Where's your bento?
Quick, everyone's waiting.
Where's your bento?
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
What's wrong, Shougo-kun?
Why are you wearing that hood?
Are you really ugly?
Show me!
It's dangerous to run
I'm sorry! Sorry!
Shiomi-san!
I'm sorry about Shizuku
No, it's not like that.
Let's just go to the nurse's office.
It must be painful. Are you okay?
It's nothing serious.
Just some light bruises and scratches.
Erm
where are his parents?
We still can't get in touch with them.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
It's okay. It's not what you think.
It's not?
It wasn't Shizuku-chan who did it.
Everyone?
Yes, everyone in class.
In fact, the other classes too.
Shizuku-chan is really popular in school.
Daddy!
Eh?!
Ehhhh?
SHIZUKU!
SHIZUKU!
SHIZUKU!
Shizuku!
Shizuku!
Shi-
Daddy, you drove here?
Yeah.
Yay! Thank you!
Daddy, what's this?
I was giving the customer a ride.
Customer?
Yes, a young woman.
Pretty?
Yeah.
Eh?
Where did she go?
She probably went off first?
She can't just go off like that.
You just can't accept that you've been dumped, huh?
It's not like that.
Hmm
Is that her?
Eiji-san!
Let's have tea.
Eh? She's wearing a hood?
Yes.
Was it because I said something unnecessary?
So it's really you.
Are you blaming me?
Are you blaming me?
I'm not blaming you.
Her birthday is the same day as the
anniversary of her mother's death!
Surely she would think it's odd!
Yes, that's true but that's if you don't cover it up properly
"Daddy looks sad sometimes when he sees my face."
Shizuku-chan said that.
Really?
"He must be thinking about Mommy
when he sees me," she said.
"I killed Mommy."
So
Iya, of course, of course, I reassured her.
That it wasn't like that, or rather, that it was the opposite.
Mommy sacrificed her life to give birth to you.
I said with a warm voice that I'm good at, a voice like
the warm morning sunshine that could melt the snow.
And then?
I think she wasn't listening.
Are you blaming me?
Are you blaming me?
I have some delicious cakes!
Your shop is still open so late at night.
There aren't much sales but Daddy said
we'll open until the last train leaves.
The last train?
He said the salarymen might go "Oh no!"
after going through the ticket gate.
"Oh no"?
"Oh no, today's our wedding anniversary!" or,
"It's my wife's birthday."
Ah.
It'll really save them some trouble if there's a florist nearby.
Here it is.
Thank you.
Ne, were One-chan's eyes an accident?
(Note: One-chan means older sister.)
Ah
Ah! Sorry, I shouldn't have asked?
No.
It's better to be asked that directly than
for others to be too careful around me.
Shizuku-chan, what grade are you in in school?
Second grade.
It was around that time that my
eyesight gradually deteriorated.
And soon after, I couldn't see anything.
But I can still faintly sense bright light.
Like the sun, when the weather's good.
You weren't scared?
Hmm. I think it's scarier now.
When I was young, I didn't really think about it.
Stuff like what other people think of you.
Look - like "She doesn't even realize
that she has boogers on her face."
Haha, there aren't.
And stuff like "Did people see my underwear?"
You were turning on the horizontal bars.
Oh yes, without realizing.
Hmmm
the last time I saw myself in the mirror was when I was a child.
In my head, I know that I'm already an adult,
but sometimes I still forget it.
So in your image you are generally about Shizuku's age?
We should become friends.
Okay, you're Mio-chan?
Yes.
champagne.
Thanks!
Ah, you saved me. It's the client's birthday.
Yours is the only shop that delivers so late at night.
Here.
5000 yen.
It's okay. It's a tip.
That's okay.
No, it's okay.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
This new guy stole a wallet from the customer's bag.
You wouldn't give me an advance on my salary!
You're new and you're already stealing,
which store would pay a new guy in advance?!
I really need money by tomorrow!
Oh shut up.
Who cares?
Leader, should we call the police?
Please, let me off!
Oy, oy, oy.
Excuse me.
Why? Since you're here, come in and have a drink.
Excuse me.
My girlfriend got pregnant!
Tomorrow, we're going to the hospital together.
Shinzuku, I'm home.
Welcome back, Daddy.
Welcome back.
Eh, you
didn't Shizuku send you back?
We became friends, right?
Right?
Anyway, I brought a special guest for Shizuku today.
Special guest?
Here he is.
Puppet muppet!
Eh?
A person from a popular puppet show.
Oh really?
Shizuku's a big fan of him.
Puppet muppet!
It's really him!
Of course.
Today, just for Shizuku, he's going to show you his face.
Ehh, is it okay for you to do that?
Yep, in exchange, you have to let me see your face too.
Of course.
Okay.
Then I'm going to start.
Here goes.
Jyan, jajyann.
Jyan.
Oooh. You're a lot better looking that what I imagined.
That's because I'm an ex-host.
Host?
Yep. Then, it's your turn now.
It's Shizuku's turn.
Hmm?
What's wrong?
Looking closely, you're fake, right?
I'm real! Look, puppet muppet.
Puppet muppet, look.
It should be the other way around.
The hands that hold Cow-kun and Frog-kun.
Eh?
Look, over there.
Ehh
Always?
Excuse me?
You haven't fallen in love?
Since your wife passed away.
It's really hard to raise a kid.
I didn't have money either.
Maa, I don't have any now either.
What about re-marrying?
I haven't even thought about that
You can't be like that.
Is it because you still love your wife?
Isn't that good? Just keep loving her.
What about liking someone instead of love?
If so, your wife would definitely forgive you as well.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter?
I don't know what you're imagining,
but I'm not popular at all.
It's just that.
Are you ugly?
I am ugly.
You're not ugly.
You have defined features and a pretty face right?
You won't know simply by touching.
Probably.
Impression is mostly based on how one's eyes look like.
You
definitely have a pair of lonely eyes, right?
My house is on the second floor,
it's quite annoying but I'm fine with these stairs.
And anyhow, I'm a girl.
If there is anything, please tell me anytime.
I've got Shizuku-chan's cellphone number on speed dial.
Okay.
Well, then.
Good night.
I envy your wife.
Huh ?
Nothing.
Daddy, I'm going to Momoko-chan's house to play.
OK.
Ouch , ouch , ouch
Shizuku!
Hmm?
What?
Take care.
I'm off.
There are different colours
Aniki.
(Note: Aniki means older brother.)
Good morning.
Ah, don't call me aniki.
Why not?
How was the hospital?
Ah, it was horrible.
She lied to me.
Lied?
She didn't get pregnant?
She said it was to test my love.
Women's tactics.
Then ?
I got angry so I broke up with her.
I should right?
Because of her I got beaten up.
I was almost taken away by the police.
You seem to have more bruises than you did yesterday?
Actually.
In order to break up with her,
I said that I didn't love her, and she got mad.
Aniki.
The money I borrowed from you.
Ah.
Next, please take me in for a while.
I'm sorry but I can't pay
Just lodging and food are fine.
Umm
The roses are blooming, the roses are
blooming, the bright red roses.
Aniki?
Bathroom
There's a customer.
I didn't get any order.
I don't think it has anything to do with the shop.
Good morning.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
This is Shizuku's homeroom teacher, Ono-sensei.
Sensei? Ah, hello.
Hello.
Master has taken care of me in many ways.
Like being the guarantor when the flower shop just opened.
Oh really?
Yeah. I saw this guy standing there everyday just looking at it.
And I thought "Wow, he must really like that place."
But I already told him that that place
will shake when the train passes by.
I didn't know that it'd shake that much.
But why did you become the guarantor?
Ah, it's for a flower shop right?
I thought "People who open flower shops can't be bad people,
right?" Although I don't know if there are any exceptions.
Even at this age, Master's still single.
Eh? Even though he's so wonderful?
Wonderful? No
Ah, no, no. People who are just as wonderful as me, well
there're only a few in this world.
Singles advocate, right?
If I really have to list a reason,
I'm just "hardball".
Men have to be strong
Um, Master?
Ah. Sorry.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
It's okay.
It's true that I don't know any student named
Chiroru-chan, even in other classes.
Mmm. At first, I thought it was cheese roll cake or something.
But she said that it's her very best friend?
I was thinking, you can't eat your very best friend right?
It's probably a toy or a puppet?
Huh?
Like, when girls are young,
they would often name a doll and talk to her.
So it's like, a friend from her heart?
A friend from her heart.
Yeah.
Like, she would discuss things that she can't
talk about with her normal friends and all.
So she is lonely because she doesn't have a mother
I don't think it's any big thing to be worried about.
But
It's a bit strange but
So it is.
Only a bit. Only that teeny bit.
Only that teeny weeny bit.
Teeny.
Yeah. Teeny.
Chiroru
Scissors.
Pipe.
Scapel.
Mmm.
Clamp.
Mmm.
Do you know the story about the
Northern Wind and the Sun ?
Yes!
The Northern Wind kept blowing at the traveler's jacket,
but the traveler kept the jacket even
more tightly wrapped around him.
Yep.
But then the Sun used its strong sunlight,
and the traveler took his jacket off.
Yes.
The Sun won.
Winner!
Mr. Sun, congratulations.
It's great, right?
But, when the Sun finally meets a person he
likes, he would be in a really bad situation.
Why?
The Northern Wind can embrace you freely, but
if the Sun gets too close, you might get burnt.
Since you'll be burned, no matter how much
the Sun likes you, he can't go closer.
He can only let people say how warm he is from afar.
He's in a bad situation, right?
That's the only thing he can do.
Shizuku's mother had a weak body.
The doctor also said that she might
not be able to survive giving birth.
I didn't know about that.
But how would it be?
Even if I'd known about it, I might
not have been able to stop her.
That was the only thing your mother could do.
She wanted to hold Shizuku, so no matter
what she wanted to give birth to you.
If Shizuku is going to get burnt,
it doesn't matter if she can't get close.
As long as she can watch over you from afar.
So, now if Shizuku says she wants to hide her face
and that she can't do anything except that,
then I think it can't be helped.
Although I wonder if your face will be soaked.
But if Shizuku thinks that Daddy is in
a bad situation, then you're wrong.
If Shizuku isn't here, Daddy's life will be meaningless.
I would only be thinking of myself.
I would only care about my own good.
For myself. I would work hard only for myself.
That kind of life is meaningless.
Really meaningless.
The one who taught me this, is Shizuku.
Daddy
Hmm ?
You've never yelled at me or gotten angry with me.
Not even once.
Daddy is like the sun.
Winner!
I'm not a winner.
Because I won't burn you.
Come here.
Um, sorry. I'm the florist.
You're the florist?
Are you okay?
There was nothing in the fridge,
so I went to the convenience store
I'll call the police.
Police.
Eh ? Stop.
It's okay.
It's okay?
If you do that,
they'll make me contact my parents too.
I had a hard time getting them to let me live alone.
I said that I'm an adult, so I should be able to do something,
and that I wouldn't trouble them.
But
I might get kicked out by the landlord as well.
That's why I contacted you, Florist-san.
I knew that you would come straight away.
Ahh.
It's okay.
Really. It's okay.
You'll change the lock tomorrow, alright?
Okay.
It's small, but stay at my place tonight.
I'm sorry.
In the end, I still caused trouble to someone.
It's no trouble at all.
I'm sure Shizuku will be happy too.
Roses.
Since you run a flower shop, why don't you sell roses?
Ah.
Because usually roses are the most
popular flowers, aren't they?
Yeah, I guess so
I guess it's still because of your wife, huh?
Because she passed away, you decided
you'll never fall in love again;
never have any passion again.
Because of this,
I feel so envious of your wife,
that she is still deeply loved.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the reason
is nowhere as romantic as that.
You're lying! There's no need to be shy.
I think this persistence is great.
Really!
There are thorns.
Eh?
There are thorns on roses.
Yes, about that
Maybe the rose doesn't want to be
acknowledged as being pretty,
or cute, or something along those lines.
Like, don't come near me.
Don't touch me.
I'm sorry, but I'm different from other flowers.
Maybe the rose thinks like that
Maybe it wants to think like that.
If the rose thinks this way, then it's really pitiful.
The flower shop can't choose the customers for the rose.
Humans,
especially girls, always get compared with flowers.
Mm.
I'm sorry, but I'm different from other flowers.
Refusing to become a cheap commodity?
I wanted to try saying it out loud.
Isn't that good? To say it loudly.
Everyone will laugh if I say things like that.
Why?
Because
You're actually making a fool out of me.
You're sticking your tongue out because
you think I can't see, right?
No, that's not true.
Then, would you like me?
Just as an example.
You were. also making lots of examples just now, weren't you?
But I already have a child.
Stop using such a lousy excuse.
Would you like me?
See, this is impossible.
I'm sorry.
Go back.
It's enough, go back.
If you meet with something again
Good night.
Daddy.
Shizuku
Is One-chan okay?
Mm.
What's wrong?
I made her a little angry.
Why?
I'm worried about her so I wonder if I should
stay here till tomorrow morning.
Look.
Naoya's home too.
Till the morning?
Mm.
I really can't do anything about you I'll stay with you.
No, you'll catch a cold.
Pull open your jacket.
Eh?
Hurry up.
It's so warm.
Shizuku.
Mm?
Who's Chiroru?
Shizuku-chan, Happy Birthday
Ah, ahh! It's doneeee!
Stop!
Don't touch the cake with your dirty hands!
It's so salty! It's horrible!
Eh?
Well I'm actually not good at cooking even if I look like I am.
You should have told us earlier!
Are you blaming me?
The cake shop might still be open.
Blaming me? Are you blaming me?
Where's the camera?
Happy Birthday, Shizuku-chan
Chiroru.
Chiroru.
Chiroru.
Who is it?
Chiroru.
The camera is gone.
Eiji-san Eiji-san!
A~re? Aniki.. ?
Well, he's a man.
This looks like a pretty naughty video.
Excuse me.
For me,
no matter how,
I wanted to give you a family.
Because
the real you
is really
lonelier
than anyone else.
Besides.
It's simple.
It's an easy thing for a beautiful young woman.
A man without money nor status,
who's managing a flower shop with a kid tagging along
Ano
Seduce him and win his heart.
Though it may be rude to say this to
Mr. Director, but how shall I put it
What is it?
He doesn't look like the type of bad
man you were talking about.
Are you trying to say that you are better
at seeing others' true nature than I am?
No, I'm not saying that.
Win the heart of that man.
No, win his everything.
Then destroy him!
You have no other choice, right?
Right?
The signal changed.
. - The signal changed.
Don't move, calm down, it's okay.
Florist-san
The umbrella,
shall I lend it to you?
No, it's alright.
There's electricity in my house and the heater
is on. Why don't you dry your clothes?
Why are you saying this at such a time?
I'll do this even if it weren't for you.
I'm glad
What?
You're smiling now, aren't you?
Your eyes must be so gentle now.
Yes.
You
you'll get wet.
Would you do this
even if it weren't me?
This
I don't know.
Ah, I
Thank you.
Holding you
in the silence,
let me hear your voice.
Tears melt
as they cling to me,
winter is soon ending.
The endless sorrow will so
pass by after that.
I know all the warmth
of holding hands.
I want to live on together with you.
That's all I need, nothing else.
In the day, in the night,
even in our dreams,
always, always together.
If I could live on together with you,
I can be reborn as much as can be.
In the sea of time,
set afloat our future,
always, always together.
I think we can become family.
It's just sympathy.
Lying to him and even seducing him.
You'll be happy too.
Leaving her in the lurch.
I like people who can smile like a flower.
You might drown in love and die.
Are you eating properly?
It's lonely now that we're so far from each other,
but I'm doing fine, so don't worry.
Even so,
don't you be unfaithful!
I'll never forgive you.
I'm joking.
You don't have time for that, right?
You're working hard for your dream, right?
You can do it.
It'll definitely come true.
Because I've got great taste in men.
Well
My dream.
It's really ordinary, but don't laugh.
Flowers,
to decorate my room with flowers.
Hmm just a small apartment
with you, me
and our child.
I'll want to have flowers nearby all the time.
Violets in spring,
sunflowers in summer.
In autumn
And for our anniversary or at times like that,
I'll definitely want roses.
Swearing my unchanging love.
I actually said that
She's moving!
We were talking about it
and we've never seen anything like her.
Such an adorable baby.
We've never seen anything like her.

Happy Birthday Shizuku-chan
Ah! I'm going to be late!
Itadakimasu!
Here, your bento.
Thanks, Daddy.
Well
Hmm?
Seems like it's going to rain today.
I have a foldable umbrella.
Oh, okay.
I'm leaving!
Hey.
What is it again?
Won't you get bullied if you wear something like that?
Why? I'm Miss Popular!
Puppet Muppet.
Did I raise you wrong?
Nah. I think you did well. Chiroru said so too.
I've been wanting to ask you this for a while.
You sure ask many questions in the morning.
Chiroru-chan is your friend?
My best friend.
Shizuku-chan!
I'm leaving.
Chiroru.
Excuse me
Yes?
Shall I lend you an umbrella?
No, thank you.
You'll catch a cold if you get all wet.
Leave me alone.
Why don't you come in?
What are you saying? Why would I go into a stranger's house?
Actually it's my shop.
Your shop?
Yes.
I've turned on the heater so why don't
you come in, and dry your coat too?
What shop is this?
What shop

Episode 1
Here.
Sorry, I just moved here.
While I was walking around, it suddently rained.
By yourself?
Yes, I thought I'd just walk near the station.
I see.
I have to do everything by myself from now on.
This
This is hot so please be careful.
It's hot cocoa.
Ah! Thank you!
Alright.
What?
I'm just thinking that I'm really lucky.
Lucky?
That the first person I met is a florist.
A florist can't be a bad guy, right?
Ah
Excuse me.
But you still don't have any customers
No flower shop is always full of customers.
Really?
So you don't really earn much?
I can still afford to feed myself and my daughter.
You have a daughter?
She's a second grader.
Did you have a divorce?
No well
Your unfaithfulness was the cause of it?
What?
Disgusting.
Guys are all like this.
This is the first time we've met and yet I'm so talkative, sorry.
It's okay.
Somehow I'm scared of the silence.
See? I don't like such pauses.
Sorry. Erm
Since I'm here, I'll buy something.
It's okay.
Since you're treated me so kindly.
It's really nothing
If there's one thing I hate, it's to be pitied.
No
Sorry, my house shakes when the train passes by behind.
I see.
Sorry, my house shakes when the train passes by behind.
I see.
I got a fright.
Well
that's not what I meant.
Then why not.
Even if it weren't you,
if someone were standing outside and getting
wet, I would have done the same thing.
Really.
Alright.
I'll give you a special discount.
What flowers do you like?
For the season now
Roses would be nice.
Deep red roses.
Continue to keep a close watch on this guy.
Get as close to him as you can.
Before we start our lesson today, let me
introduce a new friend to everyone.
Transfer student, Hirota Shougo-kun.
Everyone, be nice to him.
Yes!
Now, go sit at the vacant seat behind.
I'll start the lesson now.
Open your books to page 38.
We've done that.
Hmm, Asano-san, read it out loud.
Let's draw a tree!
Ne~, Shougo-kun let's eat our bentos together.
Hurry and sit down.
Quick, everyone's waiting.
Where's your bento?
Quick, everyone's waiting.
Where's your bento?
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
What's wrong, Shougo-kun?
Why are you wearing that hood?
Are you really ugly?
Show me!
It's dangerous to run
I'm sorry! Sorry!
Shiomi-san!
I'm sorry about Shizuku
No, it's not like that.
Let's just go to the nurse's office.
It must be painful. Are you okay?
It's nothing serious.
Just some light bruises and scratches.
Erm
where are his parents?
We still can't get in touch with them.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
It's okay. It's not what you think.
It's not?
It wasn't Shizuku-chan who did it.
Everyone?
Yes, everyone in class.
In fact, the other classes too.
Shizuku-chan is really popular in school.
Daddy!
Eh?!
Ehhhh?
SHIZUKU!
SHIZUKU!
SHIZUKU!
Shizuku!
Shizuku!
Shi-
Daddy, you drove here?
Yeah.
Yay! Thank you!
Daddy, what's this?
I was giving the customer a ride.
Customer?
Yes, a young woman.
Pretty?
Yeah.
Eh?
Where did she go?
She probably went off first?
She can't just go off like that.
You just can't accept that you've been dumped, huh?
It's not like that.
Hmm
Is that her?
Eiji-san!
Let's have tea.
Eh? She's wearing a hood?
Yes.
Was it because I said something unnecessary?
So it's really you.
Are you blaming me?
Are you blaming me?
I'm not blaming you.
Her birthday is the same day as the
anniversary of her mother's death!
Surely she would think it's odd!
Yes, that's true but that's if you don't cover it up properly
"Daddy looks sad sometimes when he sees my face."
Shizuku-chan said that.
Really?
"He must be thinking about Mommy
when he sees me," she said.
"I killed Mommy."
So
Iya, of course, of course, I reassured her.
That it wasn't like that, or rather, that it was the opposite.
Mommy sacrificed her life to give birth to you.
I said with a warm voice that I'm good at, a voice like
the warm morning sunshine that could melt the snow.
And then?
I think she wasn't listening.
Are you blaming me?
Are you blaming me?
I have some delicious cakes!
Your shop is still open so late at night.
There aren't much sales but Daddy said
we'll open until the last train leaves.
The last train?
He said the salarymen might go "Oh no!"
after going through the ticket gate.
"Oh no"?
"Oh no, today's our wedding anniversary!" or,
"It's my wife's birthday."
Ah.
It'll really save them some trouble if there's a florist nearby.
Here it is.
Thank you.
Ne, were One-chan's eyes an accident?
(Note: One-chan means older sister.)
Ah
Ah! Sorry, I shouldn't have asked?
No.
It's better to be asked that directly than
for others to be too careful around me.
Shizuku-chan, what grade are you in in school?
Second grade.
It was around that time that my
eyesight gradually deteriorated.
And soon after, I couldn't see anything.
But I can still faintly sense bright light.
Like the sun, when the weather's good.
You weren't scared?
Hmm. I think it's scarier now.
When I was young, I didn't really think about it.
Stuff like what other people think of you.
Look - like "She doesn't even realize
that she has boogers on her face."
Haha, there aren't.
And stuff like "Did people see my underwear?"
You were turning on the horizontal bars.
Oh yes, without realizing.
Hmmm
the last time I saw myself in the mirror was when I was a child.
In my head, I know that I'm already an adult,
but sometimes I still forget it.
So in your image you are generally about Shizuku's age?
We should become friends.
Okay, you're Mio-chan?
Yes.
champagne.
Thanks!
Ah, you saved me. It's the client's birthday.
Yours is the only shop that delivers so late at night.
Here.
5000 yen.
It's okay. It's a tip.
That's okay.
No, it's okay.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
This new guy stole a wallet from the customer's bag.
You wouldn't give me an advance on my salary!
You're new and you're already stealing,
which store would pay a new guy in advance?!
I really need money by tomorrow!
Oh shut up.
Who cares?
Leader, should we call the police?
Please, let me off!
Oy, oy, oy.
Excuse me.
Why? Since you're here, come in and have a drink.
Excuse me.
My girlfriend got pregnant!
Tomorrow, we're going to the hospital together.
Shinzuku, I'm home.
Welcome back, Daddy.
Welcome back.
Eh, you
didn't Shizuku send you back?
We became friends, right?
Right?
Anyway, I brought a special guest for Shizuku today.
Special guest?
Here he is.
Puppet muppet!
Eh?
A person from a popular puppet show.
Oh really?
Shizuku's a big fan of him.
Puppet muppet!
It's really him!
Of course.
Today, just for Shizuku, he's going to show you his face.
Ehh, is it okay for you to do that?
Yep, in exchange, you have to let me see your face too.
Of course.
Okay.
Then I'm going to start.
Here goes.
Jyan, jajyann.
Jyan.
Oooh. You're a lot better looking that what I imagined.
That's because I'm an ex-host.
Host?
Yep. Then, it's your turn now.
It's Shizuku's turn.
Hmm?
What's wrong?
Looking closely, you're fake, right?
I'm real! Look, puppet muppet.
Puppet muppet, look.
It should be the other way around.
The hands that hold Cow-kun and Frog-kun.
Eh?
Look, over there.
Ehh
Always?
Excuse me?
You haven't fallen in love?
Since your wife passed away.
It's really hard to raise a kid.
I didn't have money either.
Maa, I don't have any now either.
What about re-marrying?
I haven't even thought about that
You can't be like that.
Is it because you still love your wife?
Isn't that good? Just keep loving her.
What about liking someone instead of love?
If so, your wife would definitely forgive you as well.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter?
I don't know what you're imagining,
but I'm not popular at all.
It's just that.
Are you ugly?
I am ugly.
You're not ugly.
You have defined features and a pretty face right?
You won't know simply by touching.
Probably.
Impression is mostly based on how one's eyes look like.
You
definitely have a pair of lonely eyes, right?
My house is on the second floor,
it's quite annoying but I'm fine with these stairs.
And anyhow, I'm a girl.
If there is anything, please tell me anytime.
I've got Shizuku-chan's cellphone number on speed dial.
Okay.
Well, then.
Good night.
I envy your wife.
Huh ?
Nothing.
Daddy, I'm going to Momoko-chan's house to play.
OK.
Ouch , ouch , ouch
Shizuku!
Hmm?
What?
Take care.
I'm off.
There are different colours
Aniki.
(Note: Aniki means older brother.)
Good morning.
Ah, don't call me aniki.
Why not?
How was the hospital?
Ah, it was horrible.
She lied to me.
Lied?
She didn't get pregnant?
She said it was to test my love.
Women's tactics.
Then ?
I got angry so I broke up with her.
I should right?
Because of her I got beaten up.
I was almost taken away by the police.
You seem to have more bruises than you did yesterday?
Actually.
In order to break up with her,
I said that I didn't love her, and she got mad.
Aniki.
The money I borrowed from you.
Ah.
Next, please take me in for a while.
I'm sorry but I can't pay
Just lodging and food are fine.
Umm
The roses are blooming, the roses are
blooming, the bright red roses.
Aniki?
Bathroom
There's a customer.
I didn't get any order.
I don't think it has anything to do with the shop.
Good morning.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
This is Shizuku's homeroom teacher, Ono-sensei.
Sensei? Ah, hello.
Hello.
Master has taken care of me in many ways.
Like being the guarantor when the flower shop just opened.
Oh really?
Yeah. I saw this guy standing there everyday just looking at it.
And I thought "Wow, he must really like that place."
But I already told him that that place
will shake when the train passes by.
I didn't know that it'd shake that much.
But why did you become the guarantor?
Ah, it's for a flower shop right?
I thought "People who open flower shops can't be bad people,
right?" Although I don't know if there are any exceptions.
Even at this age, Master's still single.
Eh? Even though he's so wonderful?
Wonderful? No
Ah, no, no. People who are just as wonderful as me, well
there're only a few in this world.
Singles advocate, right?
If I really have to list a reason,
I'm just "hardball".
Men have to be strong
Um, Master?
Ah. Sorry.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
It's okay.
It's true that I don't know any student named
Chiroru-chan, even in other classes.
Mmm. At first, I thought it was cheese roll cake or something.
But she said that it's her very best friend?
I was thinking, you can't eat your very best friend right?
It's probably a toy or a puppet?
Huh?
Like, when girls are young,
they would often name a doll and talk to her.
So it's like, a friend from her heart?
A friend from her heart.
Yeah.
Like, she would discuss things that she can't
talk about with her normal friends and all.
So she is lonely because she doesn't have a mother
I don't think it's any big thing to be worried about.
But
It's a bit strange but
So it is.
Only a bit. Only that teeny bit.
Only that teeny weeny bit.
Teeny.
Yeah. Teeny.
Chiroru
Scissors.
Pipe.
Scapel.
Mmm.
Clamp.
Mmm.
Do you know the story about the
Northern Wind and the Sun ?
Yes!
The Northern Wind kept blowing at the traveler's jacket,
but the traveler kept the jacket even
more tightly wrapped around him.
Yep.
But then the Sun used its strong sunlight,
and the traveler took his jacket off.
Yes.
The Sun won.
Winner!
Mr. Sun, congratulations.
It's great, right?
But, when the Sun finally meets a person he
likes, he would be in a really bad situation.
Why?
The Northern Wind can embrace you freely, but
if the Sun gets too close, you might get burnt.
Since you'll be burned, no matter how much
the Sun likes you, he can't go closer.
He can only let people say how warm he is from afar.
He's in a bad situation, right?
That's the only thing he can do.
Shizuku's mother had a weak body.
The doctor also said that she might
not be able to survive giving birth.
I didn't know about that.
But how would it be?
Even if I'd known about it, I might
not have been able to stop her.
That was the only thing your mother could do.
She wanted to hold Shizuku, so no matter
what she wanted to give birth to you.
If Shizuku is going to get burnt,
it doesn't matter if she can't get close.
As long as she can watch over you from afar.
So, now if Shizuku says she wants to hide her face
and that she can't do anything except that,
then I think it can't be helped.
Although I wonder if your face will be soaked.
But if Shizuku thinks that Daddy is in
a bad situation, then you're wrong.
If Shizuku isn't here, Daddy's life will be meaningless.
I would only be thinking of myself.
I would only care about my own good.
For myself. I would work hard only for myself.
That kind of life is meaningless.
Really meaningless.
The one who taught me this, is Shizuku.
Daddy
Hmm ?
You've never yelled at me or gotten angry with me.
Not even once.
Daddy is like the sun.
Winner!
I'm not a winner.
Because I won't burn you.
Come here.
Um, sorry. I'm the florist.
You're the florist?
Are you okay?
There was nothing in the fridge,
so I went to the convenience store
I'll call the police.
Police.
Eh ? Stop.
It's okay.
It's okay?
If you do that,
they'll make me contact my parents too.
I had a hard time getting them to let me live alone.
I said that I'm an adult, so I should be able to do something,
and that I wouldn't trouble them.
But
I might get kicked out by the landlord as well.
That's why I contacted you, Florist-san.
I knew that you would come straight away.
Ahh.
It's okay.
Really. It's okay.
You'll change the lock tomorrow, alright?
Okay.
It's small, but stay at my place tonight.
I'm sorry.
In the end, I still caused trouble to someone.
It's no trouble at all.
I'm sure Shizuku will be happy too.
Roses.
Since you run a flower shop, why don't you sell roses?
Ah.
Because usually roses are the most
popular flowers, aren't they?
Yeah, I guess so
I guess it's still because of your wife, huh?
Because she passed away, you decided
you'll never fall in love again;
never have any passion again.
Because of this,
I feel so envious of your wife,
that she is still deeply loved.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the reason
is nowhere as romantic as that.
You're lying! There's no need to be shy.
I think this persistence is great.
Really!
There are thorns.
Eh?
There are thorns on roses.
Yes, about that
Maybe the rose doesn't want to be
acknowledged as being pretty,
or cute, or something along those lines.
Like, don't come near me.
Don't touch me.
I'm sorry, but I'm different from other flowers.
Maybe the rose thinks like that
Maybe it wants to think like that.
If the rose thinks this way, then it's really pitiful.
The flower shop can't choose the customers for the rose.
Humans,
especially girls, always get compared with flowers.
Mm.
I'm sorry, but I'm different from other flowers.
Refusing to become a cheap commodity?
I wanted to try saying it out loud.
Isn't that good? To say it loudly.
Everyone will laugh if I say things like that.
Why?
Because
You're actually making a fool out of me.
You're sticking your tongue out because
you think I can't see, right?
No, that's not true.
Then, would you like me?
Just as an example.
You were. also making lots of examples just now, weren't you?
But I already have a child.
Stop using such a lousy excuse.
Would you like me?
See, this is impossible.
I'm sorry.
Go back.
It's enough, go back.
If you meet with something again
Good night.
Daddy.
Shizuku
Is One-chan okay?
Mm.
What's wrong?
I made her a little angry.
Why?
I'm worried about her so I wonder if I should
stay here till tomorrow morning.
Look.
Naoya's home too.
Till the morning?
Mm.
I really can't do anything about you I'll stay with you.
No, you'll catch a cold.
Pull open your jacket.
Eh?
Hurry up.
It's so warm.
Shizuku.
Mm?
Who's Chiroru?
Shizuku-chan, Happy Birthday
Ah, ahh! It's doneeee!
Stop!
Don't touch the cake with your dirty hands!
It's so salty! It's horrible!
Eh?
Well I'm actually not good at cooking even if I look like I am.
You should have told us earlier!
Are you blaming me?
The cake shop might still be open.
Blaming me? Are you blaming me?
Where's the camera?
Happy Birthday, Shizuku-chan
Chiroru.
Chiroru.
Chiroru.
Who is it?
Chiroru.
The camera is gone.
Eiji-san Eiji-san!
A~re? Aniki.. ?
Well, he's a man.
This looks like a pretty naughty video.
Excuse me.
For me,
no matter how,
I wanted to give you a family.
Because
the real you
is really
lonelier
than anyone else.
Besides.
It's simple.
It's an easy thing for a beautiful young woman.
A man without money nor status,
who's managing a flower shop with a kid tagging along
Ano
Seduce him and win his heart.
Though it may be rude to say this to
Mr. Director, but how shall I put it
What is it?
He doesn't look like the type of bad
man you were talking about.
Are you trying to say that you are better
at seeing others' true nature than I am?
No, I'm not saying that.
Win the heart of that man.
No, win his everything.
Then destroy him!
You have no other choice, right?
Right?
The signal changed.
. - The signal changed.
Don't move, calm down, it's okay.
Florist-san
The umbrella,
shall I lend it to you?
No, it's alright.
There's electricity in my house and the heater
is on. Why don't you dry your clothes?
Why are you saying this at such a time?
I'll do this even if it weren't for you.
I'm glad
What?
You're smiling now, aren't you?
Your eyes must be so gentle now.
Yes.
You
you'll get wet.
Would you do this
even if it weren't me?
This
I don't know.
Ah, I
Thank you.
Holding you
in the silence,
let me hear your voice.
Tears melt
as they cling to me,
winter is soon ending.
The endless sorrow will so
pass by after that.
I know all the warmth
of holding hands.
I want to live on together with you.
That's all I need, nothing else.
In the day, in the night,
even in our dreams,
always, always together.
If I could live on together with you,
I can be reborn as much as can be.
In the sea of time,
set afloat our future,
always, always together.
I think we can become family.
It's just sympathy.
Lying to him and even seducing him.
You'll be happy too.
Leaving her in the lurch.
I like people who can smile like a flower.
You might drown in love and die.
