Sachiko.
Please.
Dad, breakfast is ready.
Please.
Please!
Dad, Mom's not a god, you know.
How can you say that? She's a goddess!
Your mother is a goddess! Just look at her sweet face!
Oh, my goddess!
It's a miracle that she even married me.
I've heard that a million times.
Besides, the exams are over.
But you never know. The unexpected could always happen.
Even if you've passed, your number could be deleted by mistake
and we would never know it!
You'll be like, "After all my hard work, how did this happen?"
"How come, dear God?"
And there wouldn't be anything we could do,
but Sachiko is different.
The goddess would say, "Dear me!"
-"Her number is missing." -Oh, no! The pot!
"She should pass."
"Sakura is so sweet."
"She passes."
RISSEI UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAM RESULTS
Excuse me.
Let's look.
EXAMINEE NUMBER
There it is.
Dad, there it is!
Look. Right there.
It's there!
Dad, I passed.
Sachiko, thank you!
Oh, come on, Dad. Don't cry so much.
But, I mean, it's there!
It's there!
What?
What's that?
It's my exam admission ticket.
What?
Oh, that's great!
Mrs. Maeda!
So Sakura passed the exam!
I've never been so happy for someone else! This is wonderful!
Both Sakura and I passed!
What wonderful news! Where's Sakura? The university?
Tell her "Congratulations" for me!
I did it! I'm a university student for the first time again in 20 years!
What? Hold on here.
You passed, Taro?
Yes! I did it, Mrs. Maeda!
How come?
Oh, come now! Because I took the entrance exam, obviously!
But didn't you already go to university, Taro?
Yes, I did! Tokyo University!
You sure can't judge a book by its cover. You got into Tokyo University?
Hold on here! Why did you enter university again?
"Why?"
Why do you ask that, Mrs. Maeda?
Mrs. Why,
Sakura went to all-girl schools from elementary to high school,
but then she insisted on going to this university.
-It's co-ed. -Yeah?
That means
there will be boys.
You know what that means?
Don't you get it?
It's so dangerous. I can't possibly let her attend university alone!
Wait a second!
You mean,
you're going to the same university as Sakura?
That's right! That's what I've been saying!
Why?
Don't you get it? Because…
I love my daughter so very much!
Isn't it obvious?
Say cheese.
RISSEI UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE CEREMONY
Well, of course. I mean, you don't look like a student.
But I showed my student ID.
Like an official seal. "Can you not see this?"
-Oh, that scared me! -I'm sorry!
It's okay.
The literature department?
Thank you.
How many years did you take the exam?
Who would take the entrance exams until they were my age?
-Dad, don't act like that. -"Dad"?
Oh, sorry about that.
Father and daughter attending the same school? That's unusual!
That accent! Where are you from?
Oh, I'm from Hiroshima.
Hiroko! Wait for me!
Why did you run away?
We look like country bumpkins taking photos together. It's embarrassing.
Isn't it natural…
to take photos of one's daughter during her finest moment?
Oh, right! Sakura, let's get photos!
-Oh, right. Let's get a photo. -Here we go.
You sure get along well!
I'm so jealous!
That's right! We're father and daughter classmates!
Oh!
What is he talking about?
Her dad entered university too.
Really? Hold on!
What?
Did you get in from high school?
Yes.
Then we're the same age.
I am Sakura Obika. Nice to meet you.
I'm Hiroko Yamamoto. Nice to meet you.
I am Taro, Sakura's father.
Everyone calls me Gataro.
Oh, dear! You're introducing yourselves like friends.
I feel like…
I'm being left out.
Fine, Dad. Let's get a photo.
Really?
Compared to this insanely doting father, one photo is no big deal.
-Oh, thank you, sir. -No problem.
OBIKA
ALLIES OF KAWANAKA ISLAND WRITTEN BY TARO OBIKA
MOHICAN DAD AND CANNED CRAB SON FROM THE NOVEL BY TARO OBIKA
So Sakura is a university student now.
I'm so sorry.
Please go ahead and write.
So Sakura is an adult now.
I'm so sorry.
Please go ahead and write.
So Sakura must want--
I can't write!
What's with you?
Can't help but speak your thoughts?
Thoughts are meant to remain inside your head.
But I can hear everything. Everything that crosses--
-I'm so sorry. -Just get out, would you?
I'll send you the manuscript when it's done.
No. The chief editor said I can't go back until I have your manuscript.
Nobody says that nowadays.
Seven more pages to go! You can do it!
-You're the one holding me back! -Mr. Obika.
All kidding aside, if you miss the next deadline,
your serial will be canceled.
That would be bad.
It would be bad for me too.
Ever since I saw this movie in middle school,
I've been a huge fan of yours, sir.
I want to help you write your next big hit!
I'm sorry I haven't written a hit in the 20 years since my debut.
It's been a long, trying time, but you've kept at it.
It really is amazing that you've been able to keep it up this long.
Say, are you really my fan?
Okay, Mr. Obika. Get to writing.
Then don't talk! Keep silent!
Blend into the background.
The rep before you was very good at blending into the background.
He was so good, he scared me a lot.
"What? You're here?"
-Mr. Obika! -"You're here?"
Enough!
Don't talk. Write, please.
Oh, fine.
What's with that "fine"?
Hey, isn't this--
Hey, Ozaki!
Sorry.
I just thought this was a textbook Sakura studied from.
It's mine!
What? What would you use it for?
For studying obviously!
Studying?
Yeah… No.
No, I don't.
It's for research.
What? You mean you're coming up with a new story?
Yeah, well…
Wow.
I shouldn't tell him.
If I say I'm a university student,
he'll stop giving me work for sure.
Can I sit next to you?
Sure.
Where's your dad?
He said he'll be fine at the back.
He really did get into university.
Yeah.
Oh, look! There's a hot guy!
-What? Where? -Over there at the end.
Okay, I'll start the guidance session now.
Just looking at this guy, I can tell he's a playboy.
Watch out for him.
If you're going to be late, then enter from the back.
Sorry.
See what happens? From the back, you can see all the seats.
There's a place there. Sit there, please.
Thank you.
She'll sit down soon.
