Amiko (Kochira Amiko / こちらあみ子)

Goodbye - Class is over.

Hey, have you seen Nori-kun?

No, I haven't seen him.

Hey, have you seen Nori-kun?

No, I haven't seen him.

Where is Nori-kun?

Sanjinkou Elementary School.

Tanaka Calligraphy Classroom.

What's the matter, Nori-kun?

It's Amiko.

Teacher, Amiko is looking at us from behind.

Amiko, go over there to do your homework.

I won't come in, just take a look.

No.

I also want to practice calligraphy.

You can't practice calligraphy if you haven't finished your homework.

Then I'll just watch.

No.

Do your homework well and study hard every day.

Listen to the teacher carefully, can you do that?

Don't sing or scribble on the desk during class. Can you do that?

Don't play boxing anymore. Stop playing the games of farming and Indians. Can you guarantee that?

Can you do it? Is it possible?

Thank you for your hard work.

Let's go.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Take care on the way.

Goodbye, goodbye.

Nori-kun.

What's up?

Just calling you.

Go and say goodbye

Going again?

This way.

The grave of a rhinoceros beetle.

The grave of a goldfish.

Amitabha Buddha

Goodbye.

This is Amiko.

Wishing you a happy birthday.

Wishing you a happy birthday.

- Amiko, fire, fire. -What is this?

-Wishing you a happy birthday. -Okay, come here.

-Dear Amiko. -Wait a moment.

Wishing you a happy birthday.

Wishing you a happy bir... Ah!

Amiko, fire.

Ah! Amiko, this child is really impatient.

It's a walkie-talkie.

Didn't you say you wanted this?

Wow, now we can play spy games with the little baby.

And also, this one.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Hey, Amiko, with this, you can take lots of photos of the little baby.

Can I practice with it?

Sure, you can.

Right, turn this around.

Right, lift this up, and the flash will turn on.

That's it, you're good to go.

I'll take the picture.

Wait a moment, Amiko.

I can't believe it. Didn't I just say to wait a moment?

Hmm?

Just now was just practice. The real one is coming up. We'll take a proper photo.

Forget it.

You don't have to take a picture of me, Amiko, really.

We're going to take a picture, everyone, look this way.

We're going to take a picture..

Okay, thank you, Amiko

Today is your birthday. I made your favorite mixed fried rice.

I'll definitely have two bowls.

Didn't you say you wanted two bowls?

No, I don't want anymore. I can't eat anymore.

I want to eat this.

Mmm, it's delicious.

Delicious, delicious.

It's so delicious that I want to lick the bowl.

What's wrong?

Why are you staring at Mom's mole all the time?

Will it fall off?

I don't know. Anyway, you shouldn't keep staring.

Let me see the bald spot.

I want to see.

Hey, Nori-kun, it's very pretty. The yellow one is very pretty.

It can speak and say a lot even if it's far away

Impressive, right?

You should try it too.

And the camera, you can take a picture of Mom, and then flash.

Let's play with walkie-talkies.

Oh, a earthworm! Hey, Nori-kun, there's an earthworm.

Nori-kun!

Nori-kun, welcome back.

-I'm back. -Welcome back.

This is for you to eat.

What is this?

Finally, you're talking.

I'm asking you what this is.

It's a birthday present the adults gave me yesterday.

Is it a birthday gift?

Yes, it's for you. Eat it.

No, if I take it back, Mom will scold me.

Then eat it now.

Now?

Isn't it chocolate?

You eat it.

It's not chocolate, is it a biscuit?

Is it delicious?

It's okay, a bit stale.

Then eat it anyway.

We can't call an ambulance. Let's go directly to the hospital.

Come on, I moved, I moved.

Kota, help me.

Over here...

Slower, slower, slower.

Slower, slower.

-Not like this, not like this. -Slower

Slower.

Don't block the way.

Slower.

Okay, okay, okay.

The baby should have been born by now.

I don't know.

When was it born?

I don't know.

I want to practice.

Okay.

Good.

Please respond, please respond.

Hello, hello. Hello, hello.

Welcome back. Has the baby been born?

Where is Dad?

Welcome back. Has the little baby been born?

Where is Dad?

He went to the hospital.

What about the little baby?

The baby is no longer here.

Then where is the baby?

The baby is nowhere to be found.

Welcome back.

I'm back.

I'm back.

Were you waiting for us?

All covered in sweat.

Please come in.

I brought some snacks and juice.

Thank you, Amiko.

Look, look!

I prepared a little magic trick for Mom.

Watch closely.

Wow, amazing!

Impressive, right?

Just a little bit more, and I could have become a big sister.

What a pity. Cheer up!

Yeah, I'm really disappointed.

We're leaving.

Kota, you need to cheer up too.

Okay, got it. We'll go first.

Found it!

Two leaves.

Huh?

I found a mushroom.

A mushroom?

- Amazing. - It's so small.

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

Is this a mushroom?

No, it's a bean.

Then you can have this.

This is for you as a gift.

Amiko.

Thank you.

Huh? Thank you for what?

You're really gentle, and Kota is too.

Dad is also gentle. Everyone is.

Is that so? Am I gentle?

Everyone is gentle, so Mom is very happy.

Am I gentle?

These chopsticks were given to me by Kota.

He said I can use these chopsticks to eat yummy food.

That way, I can quickly regain my spirits.

Using the chopsticks Kota gave me to eat the bento we made together with Amiko.

Mom is truly happy.

What's wrong?

A grasshopper.

Soon, you can start learning calligraphy.

Okay.

Can I go and see?

Huh? I meant you should practice calligraphy too.

Huh?

Even if I'm your mom, I won't go easy on you.

Be prepared, okay?

Today, I'm going to start learning calligraphy. That person over there.

That's Amiko.

Hey, Tanaka.

Don't be so rude. We're having a meeting right now.

Wow, it's a flying kiss.

- Alright, everyone, stop making noise. - Did you see that?

Another flying kiss. How lovely.
