Her Love Boils Bathwater

---

1

"The owner vanished like steam.?

"No hot baths for a while."

Still good for her.

This morning's temperature

is lower than yesterday

but higher than average around the country...

Eat or watch.

A light jacket should be sufficient.

The climate this week will remain the same.

Eat. You'll be late.

It tastes weird.

Really?

I told you the other day.

Then don't eat.

Which? Eat or don't eat?

Then eat.

No.

Don't go yet.

Don't make me be alone.

My stomach hurts.

My head also hurts.

Stop by at the meat shop before you come home.

Get 4 croquettes for dinner.

Hanky?

It smells like you.

Don't complain.

Now go on.

Azumi!

Wanna ride?

With your own mom? How embarrassing.

Sorry I embarrass you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Wow. You studied hard.

I didn't do anything.

I feel so lazy. I can't go today.

But he said I have to.

Also integrated studies.

I forgot it at home.

You didn't do it.

I should have brought it anyway.

"Smile"

I guess it makes a difference

if I'd brought it.

That's good. Looks tasty.

Nice shadow.

Time's up. Put your things away.

Leave your drawings on the table.

Nice. It looks real.

Teach us how to draw.

She's good.

- I'll use yellow.

- Green.

Red too.

Is this too much?

- No.

- That's good.

This is way too much.

A darker blue.

Black. Like this?

On my skirt.

Hello. Welcome to Mommy Bread.

Mrs. Sachino, you have a call

from your daughter's school.

I'll do this.

Thank you.

"Nurse's Office"

She insists she did it herself.

Azumi....

There were 11 colors. I counted.

Which one's your favorite?

What's your favorite color?

Light blue.

Mine's red by far.

Red like passion.

Red?

It's so you.

Change. Let's go home.

What is she like at home?

She talks to me a lot.

With her father too?

Um...

Her father...

disappeared a year ago.

I see. I didn't know.

Sorry.

Go to school tomorrow as usual.

Okay, Azumi?

Wanna ride?

Okay.

Mom...

I'm here.

Good morning. For takeout?

I'm eating in.

All right. Anything to drink?

Orange juice, please

Futaba...Futaba!

Manager!

Futaba?!

Mrs. Sachino?

When did you notice the symptoms?

From about 3 months ago...

I sometimes feel dizzy.

And also sometimes...

my sense of taste is off.

You can't taste food?

Other than that, I'm totally fine.

It'll sting a bit.

First of all

let me warn you that

your condition is very serious.

Doctor, don't look so grim.

You have

terminal cancer in stage 4.

From the pancreas

it has already spread to

various parts of your body.

To the lungs, liver

and also the brain.

Mom, it's already past 8.

I didn't realize.

I'm so hungry I could die.

I'm gonna starve to death.

Hello, Mom? Are you listening?

I decided.

I'll go home top speed...

and make delicious curry for you.

I guess I can wait.

So don't rush. Be safe.

Okay.

"Investigation Report"

Judging from the laundry,

he's living with a young woman.

In the next town...

It was so easy for a private

investigator to find him.

It usually takes longer.

Some Pls are better than others.

Ouch.

Leftover stubble.

Thank you.

Sorry about that.

Ouch.

Stay quiet, Mayu.

There's a map inside.

Call me if you have any questions.

Sorry to make you wait.

You have chocolate on your cheeks.

And here?

And on your nose. Looks yummy.

Don't eat it.

No?

Your cheeks look yummy.

There you go.

Her mother?

Died giving birth to her.

She's in heaven.

It's far away so we can't go see her.

Right?

That's right.

I see.

She's watching over you from heaven.

Can she see me from heaven?

Sure, she can.

Have you ever been there?

No but...

I'd like to.

I wanna go too! To see Mommy.

Maim-

Let's go.

If I can assist you again...

I give discounts to repeat customers.

Excuse me.

I have another request.

Sure. Another one?

What is it?

"Kimie Sakamaki"

What does her letter say?

"How is everyone doing?"

"I'm sending you a delicious

spider crab again this year."

"April 25. Kimie Sakamaki

She sends one every year on the same day.

Write her a thank you letter again.

Why me every year?

It's a family rule.

A rule you and Dad made.

Letters from children make the people

happier than letters from adults.

I'm not a child anymore.

I don't need them yet.

You need nice lingerie for that special moment.

You have a boyfriend?

No.

But maybe in the near future.

You don't have to wear them right away.

Save them until then. Okay?

End of our brassier meeting.

"Katase/Sachino"

Yes, coming.

Ouch!

Ow...

Oh my God! Blood!

You could've used the dull edge.

Sorry!

It's getting better.

Did you lose weight?

You look thinner.

And prettier.

You're an idiot.

"Curry roux (mild)"

You're making it difficult for me to say this.

Say what?

The reason I came here.

To punish me, right?

The opposite.

You see...

I only have a few months to live.

You have to cook the onions

until they're light brown.

I'll do it for you.

They're also too big.

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

Again, please.

Your head hurts?

No?

- Excuse me.

- Your head.

Excuse me.

I think

she lost her wallet and

wants to go to the police.

Wallet, huh? Policeman?

Okay, policeman.

- I'm home.

Whose birthday is it?

It doesn't have to be a birthday

to eat shabu-shabu.

But that's what we always do.

Is someone coming over?

The person you just thought of.

I'm home.

Azumi, this is...

She's nine.

Ayuko.

Be nice.

Don't worry. She's your sister.

Who wants both ponzu and sesame sauce?

Me.

When you eat shabu-shabu

I wonder why you feel like

saying "shabu shabu."

I just said it in my head.

I'm finished.

Azumi, wait. Azumi!

It was 11 years ago.

There was a woman named Sachiko.

She served drinks at this place

I sometimes went to.

Well, I slept with her.

Then last year

I ran into her at a different place.

She told me she had my kid.

I couldn't believe it.

It was just once.

But...You know...

She looked so troubled.

She was trembling a little.

So...

I said okay. I agreed.

She asked me to move in with her.

But she left us within a month.

I'm sorry.

I really feel bad for just

walking out on you and your mom.

It's not that I stopped loving you both but...

I couldn't hear any of your excuses.

We're reopening the bath house

the day after tomorrow.

Promise me one thing.

We all share the work, the four of us.

No work, no food.

Okay. Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Azumi, work. Move your hands.

"Sachino Bath House Reopening"

Ayuko...

Are you really Dad's daughter?

I don't know.

Mom suddenly told me he was my dad.

That man...

That man?

He's...

bad at writing and bad at math.

He can't help it.

He had to drop out of school

when his parents died.

Who cares.

Kazuhiro!

Hey, Aso

Where were you?

Pachinko parlors.

Gambling for a whole year?

Do you realize what you put them through?

Futaba looked for you every day

for half a month.

She became sick and thin.

I couldn't bear to watch her.

Kazuhiro!

We're reopening the bath house tomorrow.

Spread the word.

Thanks.

He has no care in the world.
