Affectionate Time (優しい時間)

Is it ma-ma (lady boss)?

Sorry for calling so late

That... if you have some time tomorrow or the day after, can I come over?

No... I don't mean that

Are you drinking?

There's something I'll like to ask you

I'll like to make a trip to Kaikuugama with you

I'm hoping you'll introduce me the owner, who's been taking care of Takuro

I'll like to thank him

Yes

I'm hoping to meet him at some place outside

Of course... keep this from Takuro

Episode 10 - Tattoo

- Lily-chan - Yes

I'll be out this evening, you can get off early if there's nothing much

I know

- Leave the key at the usual place - Yes

How is Azu?

She's at Mikako-san's apartment

- She's learning silver handicraft? - Yes

That child is completely into it

She's better ever since coming back, and found something she's passionate about

Who are you?

Who... who are you?

Master! Big news!

The widow at Takigawa Inn, Mikako-san

She's not their relative, she's Takigawa's lover

What?

Last night, they were together and Tamako caught them!

- Tamako is... - Takigawa Inn's lady boss

Where were they caught?

At the widow's apartment

It was pretty bad after they were found

What happened? What happened?

The widow escaped, only Takigawa was caught

- He was all swollen - How did you know?

The swollen-faced Takigawa was walking listlessly along Gojo bridge

That means Takigawa-san is keeping a mistress

His wife will be mad of course

Takigawa paid for the apartment?

He probably mix it with the inn's accounts

That Takigawa... with his looks...?

- Welcome - Welcome

- Welcome - A coffee please

- Welcome - Goodness! I thought I was dead

I wanted to go see the striped owl and waited at the trail early in the morning

But there's only a deer at the cliff

It was particularly jumpy and kept making these weird noises

I thought I'll go see what's wrong

Then all of a sudden, a bear jumped out and attacked the deer

The two animals were fighting and they fell, descending right down at me

The bear didn't hibernate

It probably couldn't find a hole to hibernate and was out and about

Come to think of it now, I was lucky I'm not hurt...

What's going on?

What's going on?

Master, thank you for the service

Running away, Sakuma-san?

Please sit down

- No... I need to go to work... - Afraid to sit down here?

No...

You're looking for me? What about?

Sakuma-san

Takigawa said he always drinks with you at XX diner every night

Is that true?

Yes... we do drink

Every night?

I can't remember if it's every night, but...

At XX diner?

At least the last one was there

The diner lady said she's never seen you both there

Male friendship... that's nice

That... I... really have to go to work...

Get over here!

It hurts! It hurts!

- I'm sorry! - Come here!

The misfortunes of others... why is it always so interesting?

What's that?

You made up the stuff about the widow thing?

She really is a widow?

About her being your relative....

So basically, most of it is true?

When did it start?

Don't tell me it's during the funeral?

... sev... sev...

What?

It's seven-seven day

How did you get on with her on 7/7?

Was she still in her mourning attire?

Western-style clothing?

Kimono?

If Otonari is still alive, he would have peed in his pants (from shock)

Master, that couple is hibernating again

Sorry to trouble you

I'll say this first, Rokosuke-san is a weird fellow

Yes

He's the Master of Forest Clock cafe at Furano

And this is Amano Rokosuke, owner of Kaikuugama

Anyway, let's all sit down

Excuse me

I'm Wakui Yukichi

I'm the father of Wakui Takuro, the kid who's been under your care

Thank you for taking care of him, though I've never come by to say hello

It's been rude of me

Actually...

I feel bad but I have to admit...

I only found out about this not too long ago

I had a shock when I learned of this

This is... really...

Really...

No...

It's just some brandy

It's a token of my appreciation

Just some brandy?

Brandy is usually either good or bad

... if it smells nice or not... that's normally how it's described

"Just some brand"... that's the first time I've received such a brandy

"I had a shock when I learned my son was there..."

Now you're a strange dad

Don't you worry? Not knowing where your son is for the last one and a half years?

Did you even go look for him?

Many things happened that time...

I've heard a little about what happened from ma-ma (lady boss)

But that kid did some thinking

Didn't he already apologized to you?

He thought about his past deeds, apologized, but you still wouldn't forgive him

You are his father, but you won't forgive him?

What do you want him to do then?

I can't help it, I like that kid

He has a set of clear eyes

He started off as a helping hand at my place, moving things...

But he never once complained during that one year and half

That probably helped lay a strong foundation

Now, he's concentrating on making his first piece of work

So please don't disrupt his thoughts now

Please don't see him now

Don't disrupt him

This bottle of "just some brandy"...

I won't tell him it's from you, but I will share it with him

Thank you for making the trip, sorry to bother you

You want to park your car here and come in for a drink?

But... what Rokosuke-san said is right

I think so too

You were once head of a company, you should be pretty mature then

Even if your son caused Megumi's death, but did you have to push him away like that?

I think that's because...

When I rushed back from New York...

and saw Megumi's body...

Then... when I looked at him...

He... how should I put this...

On him... I see something...

... something very scary

You know about the tattoo?

Tattoo?

He looked at me... rolled up his sleeves and let me see

It was tattooed "God of Death" in kanji

The son who caused my wife's death, has "God of Death" tattooed on him
