The Mother Returns? AI's Will (Haha Kaeru: AI no Yuigon)

Ah, thank you.

Hello, Nao-chan.

This is Mom.

Mom is now hospitalized.

Mom will get well soon.

No need to worry.

Cancer treatment is really great now.

Your dad said he would also come to look after you,

so, you don't need to worry.

Mom is waiting for Dad,

so I'll hung up now.

The next day after Mom left this message...

...she died.

When a change occurs with my mother's condition, the hospital will call.

The hospital called me 20 minutes later.

My mother...

...died alone by herself.

It's not that I have sent an email.

Someone who should be near my mom...

at the last moment...

was not...

...even in the hospital.

I just bought a smartphone.

Open the door!

Yes.

Unfortunately, there are no photos of the three of us.

Why do you suddenly like photos?

You live separately.

Then, who is there?

I like the previous one, we are all there.

Hah, who are you talking about?

Maybe, it's there...

I have something to talk about, so I went home.

Are you hungry?

I bought it for your mom.

I only eat peanut butter.

I don't know.

You haven't met Yoshiko, right?

Go to her!

Yes.

The battery of the car is broken.

It can't be used to drive.

It's been 49 days since it was never moved.

How's...

...your work?

It's smooth.

I'll go home through Shinkansen tomorrow.

There's a lot of work.

Oh~ I'm thinking of calling.

Oh, that's good.

Eh? As long as you like it.

I think it's okay too.

- We'll eat the three of us with Naoto, huh? - Who is that?

Here.

No, stop it.

- Here. - Stop it.

Hello, Nao-chan?

This is mom.

How come?

Mother...

...comes home.

Mother comes home.

Nursing Care AI?

Right, artificial intelligence.

Many have used it.

Wait a minute.

Yoshino-neechan knows this?

I called you many times,

but you didn't pick up.

I'm busy from work.

Good afternoon.

Is he the person?

She's my cousin, Nao.

It seems like he doesn't know yet.

Oh, I see...

I am an internist, Kimizuka, nice to meet you.

Hello.

Have you talked to your mother?

You mean, AI?

All your mother's memories have been copied into it.

Her words and voice are the same as your mother's, right?

Did my mother...

agreed that her memories were to be copied?

I think a year ago she was told,

when she started to get sick.

She quickly approved this Nursing Care AI program.

I feel sorry to see Uncle being lonely.

You can download the application here.

You can use the same AI like the one your father used.

This can also control your father's health.

This is very helpful for families who live far apart.

It's not better if you know about uncle's condition, right?

Can this Artificial Intelligence...

...replace someone who has died?

It's been 3 weeks since your father used it.

His appetite has returned and he is healthy.

Wait...

If so...

...just make the android (robot) version only.

It would be bad to make a deceased person like a doll.

Because this AI is only sound,

at a certain time, it will also be deleted in the end.

Eventually?

When those who are treated have been able to be independent,

the memory program will automatically be erased.

If you enter a deletion command on your father's device,

it will be deleted after 10 minutes.

Even though it's been deleted, then it's your turn.

That's why, there must be someone who shall accompany them at such times.

Please take care of your father as replacement of your mother.

When my mother died...

...do you know where she is?

At the sake shop.

At such critical times,

she was in a sake shop.

Then, you ask me to look after him.

It's really great.

Very great...

You also...

...didn't come during the horse racing.

Yes, I went to the hospital for a while. Then the doctor there...

Kanpai!

Seriously...!

Special Char Siu.

Your mother said this was your favorite food.

It's true.

What's wrong?

It's your favorite food.

It's good...

...isn't it?

Someone from the community painted it.

Because your mother wants family photos,

so, I brought the picture and asked it to be painted.

It's not good to see it.

The painter, while laughing, said...

..."I'll make your painting smile."

We are family.

It's better if it's like that.

Come on.

There's still more.

Dad, has the program begun?

Ah~ yes.

Do you see me?

Nao-chan...

...I feel like to sing at the karaoke.

Near the Udon shop, there is a karaoke box.

We'll go there tomorrow together, huh?

I can't.

Tomorrow, I have to go back to Tokyo.

There's a lot of work.

Beer is cheap there.

Even the Happo-sake.

I said I have to work.

Forget it first!

Here.

Bring it up.

It's not funny if you don't even have the key to this house.

Besides, I don't live here either.

Mother made it at Asakusa.

There are 3 duplicate keys for backup.

Did you come to Tokyo?

Dad...

...don't tell me that.

Hah?

Besides, it's not for Naoto's sake.

What happened?

Eh?

Ah...

You don't need...

...to hide it anymore.

I wanted to surprise Nao-chan,

so I went to his company.

Then, I went to the receptionist...

... and he said, Nao-chan doesn't work at that company anymore.

I can also feel how bitter it is when I become unemployed.

I...

...understand your feeling.

This week also begins.

Oh?

It's... starting.

We have been there together.

Yes, to the pottery shop.

Right, there it is.

My unemployment insurance is still there so it doesn't matter...

Yes, here...

What's wrong?

Your girlfriend sent an e-mail?

Nao-chan, do you have a girlfriend?

It's not like that.

Oi. don't be shy.

Oi, here. Let me use your phone!

- Eh? Let me say hello to your girlfriend. - I said no.

- Just call her! - I said no, stop it.

- I'll teach you how to cook fried rice later. - Make it easy.

You drink too much.

Beautiful...

memories with family.

Past stories again.

Dad~ stop it.

When I made this for the first time,
