I hate that.

I couldn't help it.

Hey, wait!

Don't put on airs

'cos you're from Tokyo.

Always with a girl!

I can beat him.

Come with us!

He's got a mobile phone.

You went too far.

Come and have your dinner.

You must be hungry.

Why don't you eat'?

- How is he?

- He won't come out.

Can't his mobile phone be fixed?

According to the shop,

no hope at all.

Oh, no.

Then what shall we do'?

Hello there.

Anybody here?

Coming.

Hello, Ayumi.

I'm glad you came.

I was going to visit you.

Yes?

Satoshi has locked himself

in his room since yesterday.

Since yesterday?

His mobile phone got broken.

It seems he had a fight

with some boys.

It's a memento from his father.

Wait a moment.

Satoshi, Dr. Okina wants

you to cook rice for him today.

Can you hear me'?

Satoshi, can you hear me'?

Sorry, Ayumi.

Not at all.

I'll see you later.

That's nice, isn't it'?

I've something to show you.

Will you come?

Come on.

Never tell it to anyone.

Promise me.

Satoshi'?

Strange forest, isn't it'?

What's up?

Something in the sky?

(Painting)

I get it.

Your father painted this tree.

Hear that? The tree is

taking water from the soil.

I always come here

when I feel sad.

Great, isn't it'?

You broke Satoshi's mobile

phone, didn't you?

Let's go.

Bad boys like you can't get

Chitose-bi.

What?

That's not good.

Then apologize right away.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

He got that phone

from his late father.

Will you forgive them?

- Delicious.

- Good.

- It's the best!

- Watermelon season!

Eat more boys.

I'll make shaved ice, too.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Take care of yourself.

- Doctor.

- Yes, what?

- What are you doing?

- I'm searching for something.

There's a Chitose-bi meeting

today.

Besides, you have patients.

No, not this one.

Not this one, either.

The boats in charge this year

are as follows.

You'll be divided into groups.

Follow your group leaders.

Doctor, ready for your speech?

Doctor!

Yes, of course.

Thanks to your great assistance,

we can once again hold

the Chitose-bi,

the 1000 year fire ceremony.

As a representative of

the Okinaka family

I thank you from the bottom

of my heart

In celebration of Chitose-bi,

let us begin the party from now.

Please, show your appreciation.

Let's go.

Looking fon/vard this

year's, huh'?

For sure!

Will Satoshi do the swim?

I don't know.

It's too tough for him.

Don't worry.

He's your grandchild.

He will be okay.

It's a very important task.

Delivering fire to the locals.

Only those who swim

can be selected.

I'll go to bed now.

Here, from Dr. Okina.

What is it?

He told me to show it to Satoshi.

It's labelled "Chitose-bi",

so it must be from an old film.

That's Ryuichi...

Daddy?

Daddy...

Daddy, what should I do?

What do you think?

- Nothing really.

- Nothing?

At least say you

like it or not.

Here's your lunch.

I'll head out now.

What's up?

Hey, Satoshi.

Will you come fishing, too?

Don't be a coward.

Stand up!

Come on, stand up.

Good.

Roll your body with the waves.

Swing your body like this.

You're doing well.

Hearken the flames!

Hearken the flames!

Alright, Satoshi.

Let's try from here.

Don't worry.

You'll be fine.

It appears they've all

started swimming.

We still can't see them

through the binoculars.

I think we'll see them quite soon.

Good pacing.

Satoshi, you're doing fine.

Good boy.

Slowly.

Take it slowly.

They've swum halfway.

The pace is a little faster

than most years.

Satoshi looks like

he's in trouble.

I know.

Satoshi, don't overdo it!

Come up!

Stop now.

Come on board.

You did well.

You've done very well.

Satoshi, that's enough.

You can try again next year.

You've done so well.

You almost did it,

next year you'll be able to.

Hey, Satoshi.

What are you doing?

What's with you?

Satoshi, stop it!

He really shouldn't...

The top swimmer is...

Hamaguchi!

We! Come him with a big hand!

I wonder who will be next?

Yes, it's young Yamazaki.

He's full of beans.

Ayumi, he's getting close.

Hang in there.

Last one is Satoshi Sugita.

Well done, boy.

Give him a big hand, folks.

Satoshi, you did it!

Eh?

Your phone is ringing.

Let's prepare for the party tonight.

Come and give us a hand to prepare.

Happy birthday, son.

You're my pride and joy.

Too flattering?

From your Dad.

Stupid...

my birthday is the day

after tomorrow.

He's speaking.

Doctor, Satoshi spoke!

I leave Chitose-bi to you.

Yes, sir.

- I leave it to you.

- Sir.

Sacred flame.

- Yes, sir.

- I leave it to you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where's Satoshi'?

He's with Ayumi.

They're good friends.

Finally, I'm relieved.
