One Summer Story (子供はわかってあげない)

The batter hits the ball

"He advances to 1st base with one out.

The Mocks aren't living up to their performance last year."

Count Cement?

Who are you?

I take care of your sons.

Won't you meet your kids, Count?

Won't you meet your kids, Count?

You're mistaken.

I'm not Cement. I'm single and I don't know about any kids...

Check please.

Dad!

It's me, Mortar!

Concrete and I have looked everywhere for you!

Concrete and I have looked everywhere for you!

Why now...?

Do you know how much they missed you?

Dad!

Stop that. I...

I don't deserve to be your dad.

It'd be better if I didn't exist.

What do you mean, Count Cement?

You wouldn't understand.

You're young, Mortar and Concrete but

you bring happiness with the houses and bridges you build.

But we

That's what we were born to do...

Look at me! I can't do a single thing by myself!

Nothing!

I'm powder, not a Count!

Without water I won't even set.

I can't even seal a gutter by myself.

Not even a gutter...

see how worthless I am

see how worthless I am

Snap out of it!

Snap out of it!

You made these great kid's, Count!

And they're the foundation of our city’s best architecture!

She's right.

I'm a combination of water, sand and you, Dad.

Add gravel and that’s me!

We're here because of you.

Don't say you're worthless.

Mortar... Concrete...

Before I knew it, you became so mature...

Dad!

Concrete.

Mortar.

I'm glad we didn't stop looking.

You were right to insist, Bro.

I'm so happy!

Dad, Koteko here has raised us.

Dad, Koteko here has raised us.

Dad, Koteko here has raised us.

That's me.

So your name is Koteko.

Thank you.

Don't thank me...

Stop crying before you melt into a puddle.

Thank you.

I created them but you nurtured them.

All I did was cast a little spell.

Buffalo Plaster!

It's no one's birthday.

You're crying!

Why?

Is it the end?

Is this the last episode?

Dad, is this the last one?

It isn't?

You want to dig a pitfall?

Stay alert, Koteko. They'll come back tomorrow.

I know!

But it's OK today, right Mortar?

Thank you, Koteko.

After you mix the vinegar into the rice you cool it.

Not the tomatoes. Fan the rice, not yourself.

It's hand roll sushi!

God only gives us hardships that we can handle

I know that's what people say but

there you are, you fought all alone

Just remember this if you feel broken

A wall is not something to get over

A wall is not something to get over

but to plaster over with your magic wishes

It's all within the heart of a plasterer

It's all within the heart of a plasterer

You and I, together we'll plaster walls

You and I, together we'll plaster walls

And don't tell God what we do

And don't tell God what we do

Koteko, Koteko

- You're home! - I made it...

Is it Koteo the Magical Meathead...?

It's Buffalo Koteko, the Magical Plasterer!

I'll take a shower.

Was that the last episode?

I already said it wasn't!

It's over, Minami. Set the table and cut the seaweed.

OK, Mom. Hey you, stop!

The seaweed.

OK. Can you pass me the scissors?

OK Corral.

Haruo, Honey. Don't touch the shrimps!

How about sausage sushi?

Oh, dear...

Stop!

- Watch out! - You missed!

Where's my shampoo hat?

- I dont know. - Me neither!

Stop!

I think it's drying upstairs.

On the veranda?

I'm Minami the pervert.

Eat my muscle punch!

It's rolled up!

Mom, help me!

You want wasabi?

I'll roll it!

No!

Don't put wasabi on me!

A squeeze of wasabi.

It's hot!

Sausage sushi!

Don't!

Help me! You pervert!

One Summer Story

It's your turn.

Ready, go!

Steady!

Now faster!

You're close, Minami!

Keep going!

Go faster!

Well?

Your time's good but...

Again?

Why do I grin when I swim?

You only began doing that In the 2nd grade...

Maybe it's a growth spurt?

Oh, nothing.

The meet in the summegf vacation will be the seniors last one.

Capeesh?

Yes!

You can't improve your times now...

Pushing yourselves won't help.

- Capeesh? - Yes!

Tell yourself you've done your best and stay healthy.

- Capeesh? - Yes!

OK?

- Capeesh? - Yes!

Sakuta.

Sakuta. Sakuta the Sloth!

Minami.

Yes?

You're the only 2nd grader competing So shape up!

- Capeesh? - Yes!

Captain, wrap it up. Capeesh?

Maintain your condition until the meet and enjoy the summer.

Thank you, Captain.

See me in the teachers’ lounge.

Why?

Minami.

Capeesh wants me so I'll be late.

It might be about the camp.

Have you been to the rooftop?

No. It's locked.

Right...

Miyaji, I've got fo go.

See you in the lounge or tomorrow!

OK, adieu!

Adieu!

I'm sure it was... I'm sure.

I saw it from the pool...

It is Koteko!

I had a glimpse of her trowel!

Yes, a lot.

She's in motion Is she casting a spell?

This is early Koteko.

Not bad

You're not bad either

With Mortar

Of course!

What class are you in?

- Name? - Mo.

Mo?

It's Moji. I do calligraphy.

So you have a brush...

And you're Minami Sakuta?

Yes, I'm in class #2 and I swim.

You do this often?

No. It's just that I had free time after my finals.

Right, I would have noticed.

Oops, they'll close up soon.

Really?

It's divine.

I'll help

I'm fine.

I've got it.
