Transcript

00:00I'm Ibuki, a 25-year-old regular office worker.

00:03I always stop by a nearby convenience store after work.

00:07Oh, there's that girl again. She's always here.

00:11The girl is always alone, just sitting there in a daze.

00:15One day, I finished working around midnight.

00:18I stopped by the convenience store as usual and saw that girl again.

00:22Huh? This late at night? What's she doing?

00:25I was curious, so I decided to talk to her.

00:28I see you all the time. It's late. What are you doing?

00:32I'm just killing time. Leave me alone.

00:35You don't have to go back home?

00:37I can't!

00:39What do you mean, you can't?

00:42Just leave me alone!

00:45I thought it was natural for her to be wary of talking to a man she'd never met before.

00:49I guess there must have been some kind of complication, so I decided to leave.

00:54A few days later...

00:56It was a really cold day, all the way from morning.

00:58I stopped at the convenience store on my way home.

01:01It's so cold!

01:04Huh? She's here?

01:06I rushed into the convenience store.

01:08Are you cold? Drink this.

01:11Huh?

01:13As I expected, she stared at me with caution.

01:17I got this for you. Do you like cocoa?

01:20I do.

01:22Then you can have it. Go ahead and drink it to warm yourself up.

01:26Uh, okay. Thanks.

01:30That's all I said to her, then went back home.

01:33The next night, I stopped by the convenience store as always.

01:38Hi.

01:39Hey. You didn't catch a cold?

01:42No. Thanks for the cocoa yesterday.

01:45You're welcome. Glad you didn't catch a cold.

01:48She's prettier when she smiles.

01:50This led me to talk to the girl little by little.

01:53Her name is Mei. She's 17.

01:55She's a sophomore in high school, but often absent from school, living with her mother.

02:00Isn't your mother worried about you?

02:03Her boyfriend is over right now.

02:06The other day, he tried to...

02:08Huh?

02:10They didn't go all the way, but I could tell from the look on her face.

02:14When I told mom about it, she didn't even scold him.

02:18Instead, she accused me of being the one who was flirting with him.

02:23I couldn't believe it.

02:25There's no one I can trust anymore.

02:28This is the only place I can go.

02:31Do you want to go talk to some social agency?

02:35They're not reliable.

02:37I wish I could do something.

02:39I think talking to one of those agencies is the only thing we can do.

02:44After all, the only other thing I could do is talk to her.

02:48A few days later, I went to the convenience store as always.

02:53W-what happened?

02:55My mom's boyfriend... again!

02:58Just what I feared might happen, happened.

03:01I was about to lose my temper.

03:04Go to the police! The police!

03:06I don't want to go to the police!

03:09Why?

03:11They're going to ask me a ton of questions.

03:14Besides, I've been arrested so many times that I'm bound to end up in trouble myself.

03:20What should we do?

03:22Then, do you want to come to my place?

03:24I won't do anything to you.

03:26This is the only thing I can do to help.

03:28O-okay. I'll go.

03:32She thought for a moment, then nodded.

03:35So, I invited her into my apartment.

03:38Excuse me.

03:40You don't need to call your mom?

03:42I don't need to say anything.

03:44She'll just tell me to do whatever I want anyway.

03:48Is that so?

03:49She said it so matter-of-factly that I felt sorry for her.

03:53From now on, if anything happens, you can go here.

03:57Really?

03:58You don't even really know me.

04:00You don't think I'm gonna steal something?

04:03There's nothing to steal.

04:05As you can see, there's nothing valuable.

04:07Besides, are you the type of person who does stuff like that?

04:11No.

04:12Then, no problem.

04:15She reluctantly took the key.

04:18Later, I met with Mei's mother, without telling Mei.

04:22Your daughter is at my apartment now.

04:24She was always hanging around a convenience store alone,

04:26so I asked her about the situation.

04:29Staying at my apartment is what she chose to do.

04:32But we're not in any relationship,

04:33so there's no need to be worried about anything like that.

04:36She's gonna have to get married in the future.

04:39I can't let you do such a selfish thing.

04:42That is, unless you're gonna give me money,

04:44I'll consider it.

04:47Just like Mei said,

04:48she had no concern about her daughter,

04:50and she was obsessed with money.

04:52I was furious.

04:54This is all I have.

04:56Would you let it go for this?

04:58You're a weird one.

05:00You do this for a person you don't really know?

05:04It's not much, but then again, you're young.

05:07Tell Mei to do whatever she wants.

05:10Okay.

05:12After that, Mei started coming to my place without visiting the convenience store.

05:16We cooked and ate together, watched TV and laughed.

05:19It felt almost like we were a couple.

05:22You're surprisingly good at cooking.

05:25My mom doesn't cook, so I had no choice.

05:28But your dishes are good too.

05:30All I'd ever seen her do was cry,

05:32so it was nice to see her smile.

05:34Sometimes I wondered.

05:36But what I was most afraid of was losing her trust.

05:40When I was a student, I worked as a teacher at a private school,

05:43so I helped her study.

05:45Wow, Ibuki.

05:47You're a good teacher.

05:49Well, that's the only thing I can be proud of.

05:53Being with her was nice,

05:54and it motivated me to work efficiently so that I could get back home early.

05:59When you finish the homework I gave you yesterday,

06:01let's play a game after dinner.

06:03Yay! I'll do my best!

06:06One day, we were eating dinner together as always.

06:10I want...

06:12Uh...

06:13I want a family where I can live happily together like that.

06:18Then I'll make you happy forever.

06:20We can have a happy family.

06:22You're okay with me?

06:24Of course.

06:26I introduced May to my parents to approve the marriage.

06:31She's only 17.

06:32You don't need to be in such a hurry.

06:35I'll give my blessing after she graduates from high school.

06:38I agree.

06:39She should at least finish high school first.

06:43Even if you disowned me, I was still planning to marry May.

06:45But thank you for accepting it.

06:47I'll take full responsibility for getting her through school.

06:51Thank you so much!

06:52I'll do my best!

06:54Both of my parents were surprised,

06:56but I'm grateful they still respected my feelings.

07:00Two years later,

07:01May graduated from high school with my support,

07:04and we went to see her mother together.

07:06Your daughter graduated from high school.

07:08I'm going to marry her.

07:09That's all we came to say.

07:11Oh?

07:12But did you come prepared?

07:14What?

07:15Please take this.

07:17This is the last of it.

07:18We won't be seeing you anymore.

07:20Sure.

07:21If you want that kind of girl, go for it.

07:24She's a piece of crap!

07:27It hurt May, but I knew it was the only way.

07:31So we moved soon after and registered our marriage at a new town office.

07:35I talked to my boss, changed my workplace,

07:37and cut off contact with May's mother.

07:41We did the right thing, right?

07:44Yeah!

07:44My family is just you and your parents.

07:47A few years later, we had a small wedding with the money we saved together.

07:51It was just the four of us.

07:53Me, May, and my parents.

07:55I had a terrible life.

07:57It was hard just to live.

08:00You saved me.

08:01Thank you so much.

08:02I will love you for my whole life.

08:05I'll only love you, too.

08:08I don't know how May's mother is doing since then.

08:11I promised myself that I would build a happy and warm family

08:14so that May's smile would last forever.
