00:00This is incredible, Mikoski!
00:08Your signing event last year was a huge hit,
00:10and our survey says the readers love you!
00:13My friend, this year will be massive!
00:16Uh-huh.
00:17On that note, it's about time you finally get started on your next series!
00:24My next series?
00:26I have to keep the ball rolling, huh?
00:30Well, I have been brainstorming for a while now.
00:39But I can't come up with anything. My mind is blank!
00:48Did I always have those flowers?
00:51It's been a month now since Kawasei said that to me.
01:02I've been racking my brain day in and out, but...
01:05The assassin cat's next mysterious mission.
01:18A surprise attack from a new enemy.
01:23A daring escape from danger.
01:25Something relatable in an extraordinary world.
01:28Something unexpected in the mundane.
01:29A twist.
01:32Taro?
01:33My goodness!
01:35Watch out, Subaru!
01:37The hose, look!
01:38And...
01:39What?
01:53Figs.
01:55As for me...
01:59...
01:59I'm so sorry.
02:15I didn't know where I was pointing that.
02:17Well, I was surprised, but it's nothing to apologize for.
02:21Tara loves a good bath.
02:22Aw, yes you do.
02:25Actually, I'm the one who owes you an apology, if anything.
02:27I already watered Saho's garden this morning.
02:31I had no idea you were going to do it yourself.
02:34I don't think I've ever seen you taking care of her flowers before.
02:42Wait, so you've been looking after the garden all this time and I never knew?
02:47I thought they looked awfully healthy, all things considered, but I'm hardly a gardening expert.
02:51I was afraid I might be overstepping my bounds, but when I was watering my plants, I'd lift up the hose!
02:57And spray!
02:59I should have asked you first, though.
03:01Uh, no, thank you.
03:03If nobody helped water them, they'd be dead.
03:07It's fine.
03:08She took care of that garden for you, after all.
03:11I didn't want all her hard work to go to waste, you know?
03:14She did this for me?
03:16Did you see those?
03:17I'm happy to see they're blooming again this year.
03:21And there!
03:23Every time you travel, your garden gets bigger.
03:26You'll have every flower in the country soon.
03:29I doubt that.
03:30The lavender I bought in Furuno isn't even blooming yet.
03:34I'm hoping the blueberries from Ishikawa will bear fruit next spring.
03:38So what are you planning in that one?
03:40Oh, they're cute.
03:41Baby blue eyes from Ibaraki.
03:43When I saw them, I knew I had to have them.
03:46Blue is Subaru's favorite color, you know.
03:49I would love to show him a whole field of these, but I'll have to settle for this for the time being.
03:54She used to tell me she hoped you could enjoy these flowers from inside the house.
03:58Wherever she went, she brought back her favorite plants as a souvenir.
04:02That way she could share the world with you.
04:04They were here all this time, and I never knew.
04:08Okay, okay, Taro.
04:10I'll block you.
04:11Well, just look at them from time to time, alright?
04:14They're so pretty.
04:15And after all, they were picked out just for you.
04:18Hey, don't run, Taro!
04:20Oh!
04:20Oh!
04:20Oh!
04:21Oh!
04:34You really outdid yourself, Mom.
04:38But that's so like you.
04:43Huh?
04:45Guess Haru left.
04:48Haru?
04:51Where are you?
04:53Did I scare her too much with that hose?
04:55Somebody's outside.
05:07Why are they just standing there?
05:10Maybe they're trying to break in.
05:13Haru probably saw them and went to hide somewhere.
05:19Hi, Mikazuki.
05:20So it's just you.
05:24Why don't you ring the doorbell, you big weirdo?
05:27Uh, well, there was a young man here acting a bit strange, but he seemed to be on a first
05:31name basis with you?
05:33Where did he go?
05:35Nobody calls me by my first name.
05:37Only Hirota.
05:38What?
05:39You don't even have a cousin or something like that?
05:44If he's not someone you know, then...
05:46Uh-oh!
05:48Please forgive me!
05:50Oh, wait!
05:59It-it's you!
06:00Okami's brother, right?
06:02Hugo, was it?
06:07I'm so sorry.
06:09I knew it might be kind of awkward if I just showed up at your house.
06:12But I had to apologize.
06:15I mean, the way I acted when we first met.
06:18I grabbed you, said you were creeping on my sister.
06:24Yeah, but we worked out the misunderstanding, so it's fine.
06:27And I kept talking about your story, but I didn't realize you were THE Mikazuki.
06:32Ever since I found out who you are, I've been dying to apologize to you.
06:37But I kept wussing out because I was afraid you might be mad at me.
06:40I thought you wouldn't listen.
06:43I didn't mean for it to take this long.
06:46I'm sorry, bro.
06:47For real.
06:48No, it wasn't a big deal to me, I promise.
06:51You know...
06:52I really get excited when I read your stories.
06:56It's like I'm invincible.
06:57Like anything's possible.
06:59I want to work hard.
07:03Try new things.
07:03I don't know, it's hard to explain, but your writing gives me courage.
07:09I'll always be here cheering for you.
07:11No, please.
07:13I mean, I'm grateful.
07:16Don't thank me.
07:18It's nothing.
07:19I owe you.
07:20For hearing me out.
07:21I can't believe I finally said it.
07:27This is new for me.
07:29Feeling joy.
07:31Feeling regret.
07:32Being moved.
07:34By just a few simple words.
07:36I don't know how it happened.
07:40But these days, all of a sudden my heart feels so much fuller.
07:49When was it?
07:51That my life started to change.
07:58Thanks again for having me, bro.
08:00He's a good kid, isn't he?
08:03Yeah.
08:04Haru seemed to be awful fond of him, too.
08:07If he's got some trick, I sure wish he'd share it with me, though.
08:10Huh?
08:11Trick?
08:12I don't know.
08:13Haru seemed to like you go right from the start.
08:16Oh, to be loathed.
08:18By the way, I have any good ideas yet?
08:20For your new series?
08:26I guess that's a no.
08:29I'm sorry.
08:30It seems I'm suffering from writer's block.
08:33Listen.
08:34This is just a thought.
08:35But have you considered traveling?
08:37Maybe for a change of perspective?
08:38No, of course you haven't.
08:42That's a good idea.
08:45Why are you surprised?
08:48It was your suggestion, wasn't it?
08:50Well, yes, it was.
08:52But when we first met, I couldn't even get you to come outside.
08:54So this is new.
08:55Sorry.
08:59I mean, just tell me when you decide where to go.
09:03Let me handle it.
09:04I'll make it happen.
09:06Thanks.
09:08Taking a trip, huh?
09:10Okay, but where?
09:22Hmm.
09:23I wonder what happened with that one.
09:37I don't think anything's ever grown there.
09:41Huh.
09:42Guess she did try to plant something.
09:44Hey, Subaru?
09:47Next time, maybe we can all take a trip together.
09:51See you when we get back.
10:04Tokushima?
10:06Shikoku, huh?
10:07That sounds dandy.
10:10I'll book you a flight and hotel ASAP.
10:12Thanks, that'll save me a lot of trouble.
10:17I've never gone on a trip like this in my life.
10:20Hey, no problem.
10:21Happy to help.
10:22Wait!
10:24What are you gonna do about Haru?
10:26Huh?
10:27I'm confused.
10:29Well, you'll be gone.
10:31Don't you need someone to look after her till you get back?
10:35I didn't think of that.
10:42Going on a trip, huh?
10:56Yeah.
10:57It's just two days and one night, but I'm worried about leaving her alone.
11:01In that case, it's probably best to put her in a pet hotel.
11:04Is that a thing?
11:06Yeah.
11:06I'll give you the phone number to a good one, okay?
11:10First, I gotta get Haru into the cat carrier.
11:14Haru!
11:17Haru!
11:24She's coming.
11:24Yes, it's working.
11:32Just like Okumi said.
11:34The last time you used the carrier was to take her to the vet, right?
11:38That's tricky.
11:39She probably won't get inside on her own after that.
11:43For a lot of cats, getting in the carrier means going someplace bad.
11:46So you have to get a little creative.
11:48Try this.
11:49Look, Haru.
11:50A treat!
11:51Nailed it!
11:54That was too easy!
11:56Now's my chance.
11:58Uh-oh!
12:01Hey!
12:01Settle down!
12:10Haru?
12:11Hey!
12:12You alive?
12:13No.
12:13No.
12:13No.
12:14No.
12:14No.
12:15No.
12:15No.
12:16No.
12:16No.
12:17No.
12:17No.
12:18No.
12:18No.
12:19No.
12:19No.
12:19No.
12:19No.
12:19No.
12:19No.
12:20No.
12:20No.
12:20No.
12:21No.
12:21No.
12:21No.
12:25Nope.
12:26Not gonna work.
12:29Hand stop.
12:3228 grams?
12:34You sure that's enough for her?
12:36Uh-huh.
12:37Cats are supposed to eat several small meals, so keep it under 35.
12:41Usually three times a day.
12:43I'll feed her a serving before I leave.
12:45Try to come by at least once after that if you can.
12:48No prob.
12:49Looked like about this much, I think.
12:53Whoa, how did you pull that off?
12:57Ah, I used to measure milk for my sister when she was a baby.
13:01Stop it! You just had dinner a second ago.
13:04For a little cat, she's still a big eater, huh?
13:06Yeah, so don't give her too much, even if she complains.
13:09She's still on a diet.
13:11Okay, sure.
13:13I still can't believe you're going on a trip, though.
13:15This is crazy.
13:17You'll have to hold down the fort while he's gone, Haru.
13:20So don't cry, you gotta be tough, okay?
13:31It's Kawase.
13:33Hello?
13:34Oh, good. Yeah, thank you.
13:37Uh-huh. Let me write that down real quick.
13:42Okay, go ahead. Nagami Hotel.
13:47Henshin Iwakuni.
13:50Shijima.
13:51Shijima House?
13:53If you need anything, the place where we're staying is on the fridge, okay?
14:04Shijima House. I'll take that one.
14:09Yeah, yeah, thanks again.
14:11Uh, where you're staying?
14:12Mm-hmm.
14:13Shijima House.
14:14It has to be.
14:17It has to be.
14:27Haru.
14:29I'll see you soon.
14:30We've been expecting you, Mr. Mikazaki.
14:47Here. This is your room.
14:49It's nice. Thank you.
15:00Um, can I ask you a question?
15:03Uh-huh.
15:04It was about three years ago, but you made a reservation with us before, didn't you?
15:09Yeah, or my parents did.
15:12I thought so.
15:13Your name is so unique, it stuck with me all this time.
15:17And let's see, if I recall correctly, it was a reservation for three.
15:23For three?
15:25We got a call from the travel agency at the very last minute saying you had canceled.
15:30So I'm glad you decided to come back after all this time.
15:33Please enjoy your tea.
15:38Mom held out to the very end.
15:41She never gave up on inviting me till the day they left.
15:44And that trip was the same.
15:47They held that reservation hoping I would finally change my mind.
15:50I came here.
16:04But I don't know what I hope to find.
16:12Interested in how the locals make indigo dye?
16:15A little bit.
16:17You're famous for it.
16:19In Tokushima, the dye used in indigo is called a Y.
16:23The process that craftsmen used to make it is the same as it was generations ago.
16:29I didn't know there were so many shades of blue.
16:31Don't tell me.
16:32Did you come here because you're a blue enthusiast?
16:36I can't blame you.
16:37That sweater does look nice on you.
16:39Look at that!
16:40I just knew it!
16:41That sweater had your name written all over it!
16:43Come on.
16:44It's no big deal.
16:45It is to me.
16:46I picked it out myself and you look so handsome in it.
16:47It is to me.
16:48It is to me.
16:49I picked it out myself and you look so handsome in it.
16:53My gosh!
16:54You're wearing that again?
16:55Huh?
16:56Why not?
16:57You're wearing that again?
16:58Huh?
16:59Why not?
17:00Well, don't get me wrong.
17:01I'm really happy you like it.
17:02But since you wear it so often, it's starting to fade a bit.
17:05Is it?
17:06No.
17:07No.
17:08No.
17:09No.
17:10No.
17:11No.
17:12No.
17:13No.
17:14No.
17:15No.
17:16No.
17:17No.
17:18No.
17:19No.
17:20No.
17:21No.
17:22No.
17:23No.
17:24No.
17:25No.
17:26No.
17:27No.
17:28No.
17:29No.
17:30No.
17:31No.
17:32No.
17:33No.
17:34No.
17:35No.
17:36No.
17:37Aw.
17:38No.
17:39Hey, honey!
17:40No!
17:41No.
17:42Yes.
17:43Huh.
17:44Nayri.
17:45Is that it's something I feel?
17:47Maybe you always know.
17:49No.
17:50No.
17:51Yeah.
17:52No.
17:53Here?
17:54No.
17:55No?
17:56!", No.
17:58No.
17:59No.
18:00No.
18:01No.
18:01How many times I ask, I'll never hear their answer.
18:07But I'm here now.
18:10At least I have that.
18:27On second thought, maybe I should have brought her with me.
18:31I'm here now.
19:01I'll keep napping.
19:03He'll be here by morning.
19:06I bet I'll be all worked up about something.
19:08Just like always.
19:09I'll be here.
19:10I'll be here.
19:10I'll be here.
19:11I'll be here.
19:12I'll be here.
19:12I'll be here.
19:14I'll be here.
19:14I'll be here.
19:15I'll be here.
19:16I'll be here.
19:17I'll be here.
19:18I'll be here.
19:19I'll be here.
19:20I'll be here.
19:21I'll be here.
19:22I'll be here.
19:23I'll be here.
19:24I'll be here.
19:24I'll be here.
19:25I'll be here.
19:26I'll be here.
19:26I'll be here.
19:27I'll be here.
19:28I'll be here.
19:30You're looking for flower seeds?
19:42Uh-huh.
19:43Or a seedling, maybe?
19:45Something this area's famous for, if possible.
19:47There's a shopping center nearby with a nursery.
19:50But it's in the opposite direction of the airport, and the weather's looking bad.
19:55Who needs a nursery?
19:56We've got indigo right in our own backyard.
20:00You just wait there one second.
20:02I'll go fetch you some.
20:04Uh, are you sure?
20:05We've got plenty.
20:07No trouble at all.
20:11Our indigo should fit the bill, I think.
20:13Yeah, but...
20:14It's fine to take it.
20:16She's the owner, after all.
20:17Here you go.
20:27Hope that does it.
20:29Thanks for your trouble.
20:31You're very welcome.
20:33You got that wet just stepping out?
20:36Oh, yes.
20:36Frightful weather.
20:38What?
20:46No.
20:47You got to be kidding.
20:50You got to be kidding.
