Kodocha (こどものおもちゃ)

I'm Kurata Sana, I'm an actress in 1st year of middle school.

My manager, Rei-kun.

An American boy that looks completely like my former best friend, Brad.

This person's a choreographer of Broadway that I've never seen before, Michelle Hamilton.

My strongest ally in New York, Naozumi-kun.

Help me!

You're in my way!

Return to Japan at once!

Michelle.

What is this supposed to mean?

Why did you call this kid?

You're doing too much on your own, I don't agree with this.

And you're...

Heeeeeelllllllppppp!!

You shouldn't have come here.

Go home!

You... just as you said ... I was the one you were after...

What are you doing Brad?

Are you alright, Naozumi?

Yes.

Excuse me, there should be a Naozumi Kamura registered here.

Yes. Please excuse my rudeness, but you are...?

I'm Naozumi's... mother.

Episode 71: It Was A Suddenly Appearing Mother

Brad, why did you do that?

I'm sorry, Sana Kurata, Naozumi Kamura.

I kept you waiting for a long time.

On top of that you've come from a far place. I'm really sorry.

Could it be?

I'm Gary Hamilton.

I'm really glad you came.

Yes.

Yes.

It seems that a lot of things happened while I was away.

It's your doing, isn't it, Brad?

Say it clearly, Brad!

Michelle! Wait.

Naozumi, Sana, I'm sorry, but could you return home before us?

Today's lesson is already over.

Eh? But...

I won't let Brad do such a thing again.

You don't have to worry about it.

We'll talk about the details later.

Excuse us, we'll return now.

Brad!

You owe me an explanation.

Why did you attack Naozumi and Sana?

Speak up! Brad!

I wanted to keep Naozumi away from Sicil.

You're the ones who know the best the reason why. You're the ones who are embarrassed, aren't you?

Brad, you...

That's why I was pushing them out in your place.

It's none of your business!

Don't get close to these two kids anymore,

...or else you'll be considered as going mad too. You won't be welcome in my house anymore.

You got that?

I got it.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

There's a guest for Kamura-sama.

A guest?

Who can it be?

I don't know...

I didn't ask her name, but she was a beautiful lady.

Is that so?

Hoho, a beautiful one.

Sana-chan!

Perhaps she's one of your fans.

There aren't any in New York!

This boy doesn't accept ornaments at all...

It's not 'Ornaments', it's 'Attentions'.

Hello.

I'll return to my room.

Babbit too...

Naozumi...

Yes...

After all this time, I'm not asking you to forgive me.

But there hasn't been a single day where I haven't thought about...

The day I got separated from you...

You were wearing white baby clothes, smiling while looking at me.

Even now I clearly remember it.

At that time, I was really poor.

I had no money to even buy you milk.

If it could have been solved by not eating myself, I could have managed. But to have to hear your hungry cries was painful.

I did it for your sake!

I had planned to get you back. Right after leaving your father, I went to America...

...but right after I arrived, I became ill...

My only reason to live was to meet you once again.

As a mother, I wanted to meet you.

It's true. I truly wanted to...

Um...

I've got an appointment right now...

I have to go.

I see...

It's true...

I suddenly came to see you...

Telling you I'm your mother after all this time-

Excuse me.

Naozumi!

This is my address and telephone number.

We'll meet again, won't we?

...won't we?

Naozumi...

What's that?

S-stop it! Release me!

This woman...

Could it be that she's Naozumi-kun's...

Cologne has been put on my bottom...

Ah, Naozumi-kun's back.

Well, doesn't matter...

Hi, it's Kurata Sana!

Hello, hello?

Ho, it's Rei-kun! What's the matter?

Huh? You found one?

Anyways, read the user's manual carefully.

Green floral, it's nice.

Hey, you guys are Japanese aren't you?

Yes, yes, that's right.

I come from Japan too!

I saw the movie 'Taxi Driver' and I couldn't stay still.

So I came to New York, it was two years ago I think...

Tchapin and Katchan chabin fu fu bushuuu....

Don't get lost! Take care, if you wander into strange places in this town and get lost, you'll have troubles.

People say it's safe to ride taxis...

Since I'm doing this job, I should be used to the smell of make-up.

Somehow... I couldn't stand it...

Here, here...

What's that, Sana-chan? It smells good.

Green Floral.

It calms you down. Perhaps you prefer the trumpet, ... but it's useful when you can't play the trumpet....

Thank you.

By the way, where are we going? What was it... Ah! I remember, I remember!

I wonder where it's located, the apartment Sagami-san has found...

Ah! We're here!

Hehehe... I won't show it to you...

Black Babbit, you're mean!

While we were saying that, Sana-chan got in!

It seems quite old, don't you think?

Yes... So, room 3025... there it is!

Rei-kun, Rei-kun, Rei-kun! We've arrived!

Yes!

Welcome!

We've been waiting for you.

Tsumo tsumomomomo....

In the garden there are birds.

The shop closes at 12 o'clock.

I'd like to go on a trip to Kononkania.

Sorry, it seems we've made a mistake.

Ah, Sana-chan, Naozumi-kun, that was fast.

Rei-kun!

Sagami-san!

then...

So, come in.

Come in!

Who is this person?

What do you think about it? It's not a bad room, right?

Yeah, it's good. Don't you think so, Naozumi-kun?

Yeah, it's good...

So, who's that person?

Ah, he is-

"He?"

Everyone, let's have some tea!
