Taro's Candy House (おかしの家)

Sakuraya

Ala?

By the way, where's Saegusa?

Ah.

Haven't seen him here, have we?

Seems he's started writing a screenplay again.

Eh?

Guess all sorts of thoughts have been going through him too, huh?

This means he's started seeing again the dream he'd put on hold.

While somehow, I don't seem to be in any rush.

Yeah.

I haven't been looking for a new job, either.

Excuse me...

Oba-chan...

Oba-chan.

Ala! Saegusa-kun.

Here you go.

Ehh...

This is your screenplay?

Yes.

After a long time, my creative juices switched on...

...and I wrote this over a week's time.

That's awesome, isn't it?

But I don't think I'd understand it.

I really wanted you to be the first one who reads it, Oba-chan.

Well then, I will read it.

May I have it overnight to read?

Ah, of course.

I earnestly ask that you keep this a secret from Taro, okay?

"The Miracle of Sakuraya"

A screenwriter, huh?

Saegusa has failed, too.

Eh?!

A man's dream, you see...

...has to be either a pro baseball player or a musician; it can't be anything other than those two.

Men can only have one of two dreams?

You didn't know that?! You're such a fool.

Isn't wanting to become an astronaut a splendid dream to have?

Shima-san!

It's men who haven't made it as either pro baseball players or musicians...

...who become astronauts.

That's not true, now is it?

But...

...when Saegusa and I were little, we believed those were the only two things we could be.

Wanting to become a screenwriter wasn't particularly one of them.

Still...

...I seriously doubted even back then...

...whether to have such strong feelings for any dream.

Sakuraya

The stage is this cheap sweets shop...

...and the storyline follows a true story from Taro's and my boyhood days.

So since it's embarrassing...

...I don't want to show it to Taro.

Okay... Grandma!

I'm going to my part-time job.

Be careful. Don't push yourself too hard, okay?

I'll be okay.

Thank you, like always.

So long, I'm going.

"The Miracle of Sakuraya"

Taro... what's your dream?

That's obvious, isn't it? To be either a pro baseball player or a musician.

Me, too.

That's right, Taro. I saw a kappa in the river the other day.

Really, Saegusa?

Yeah. Wanna go see it?

A kappa, huh? I'd like to raise some.

Raise them?

If I could, I'd want to eat them.

Taro, you really do think on a big scale.

Let's go see it right away.

Yeah.

Oba-chan...

And so, um...

...how was it?

You and Taro have been together ever since you were little, haven't you?

Yes.

For better... and worse.

I... don't understand screenplays all that well, but...

...I think this is something you surely had to write, Saegusa-kun.

It was wonderful.

Oba-chan...

...thank you.

Actually...

...a certain film producer wants to meet with me.

I'm going to see him from here.

Really?

Good luck to you.

Taro is out back.

It's sizzling somehow, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's looking good.

It's awesome, isn't it?

That's true.

I'm gonna put it in a little deeper.

Ah!

Oh!

Saegusa, it's been awhile.

We were just talking about you.

Aren't you getting too old to be talking about dreams?

Taro.

Huh?

You've gotten a little old, too.

Well of course I have.

Because I thought only you wouldn't get older.

What's that about?

At last.

Our memories might go flying off to the world.

Huh?

I'm off to regain the dream I had almost forgotten!

So long!

Saegusa-san was kinda fired up there, wasn't he?

Rail passing through.
