Ice Cream Fever (アイスクリームフィーバー)

"Lemon Life"

We shout.

Just like today.

Shouting.

"This is not a movie"

Mommy.

I didn't expect you to come here too.

No, I just got started too.

Anyway, I have to go to the bookstore first.

And the Japanese-style restaurant.

so…

What do you think?

About living here,

I feel pretty happy.

Where I live,

There's installation art at the entrance in the shape of A, B, and C.

It's super stylish.

Yeah.

Yes, the new book is out already.

Huh? You've already read it?

When I settle down, I'll make an appointment to meet you.

Red signboard.

Dim windows.

Orange house.

Red and blue stripes.

Hey!

Alright.

You'll get scolded again like this.

It's okay.

The landlady is coming.

I'll switch back to super-fast mode.

Then try saying "She's here".

She's here.

Wait... wait a minute.

That was too fast.

- Welcome. - Welcome...

It's been so hot all day again today.

Hello.

Ms. Harue, work must be tiring, right?

I'll help.

It's so early.

Yuu, you're too early.

The reason I am who I am now,

Is all thanks to your wonderful bathhouse here.

Oh my, hearing you say that

Makes me feel like all this work is worth it.

Mary, I'll take care of that over there.

Alright.

Oh, never mind.

Instead of doing these things.

Why not buy something to drink occasionally?

You found out?

No, I...

Every time I'm thirsty, I hold back.

Because seeing that thing

Makes me want to eat

Ice cream.

It tastes like a thin layer of milk.

And it feels awful.

What's the "Minty Fresh" flavor?

It's made with mint and soda water.

It tastes refreshing.

And what about "Crazy Marble"?

It includes rich strawberry, banana, and mango,

All in one bite.

Your Italian milk.

And minty fresh ice cream.

I always feel in my heart that nothing has started yet.

But on impulse

I ran out.

That was a...

A memory that no longer exists.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

I forgot to give you a loyalty card.

When you accumulate enough points, you can redeem them for an ice cream cone

Or a souvenir.

The souvenir is...

A small cow-shaped doll.

Thank you for coming.

Where did you go?

Um, nowhere... just...

You're the boss.

You can't just leave the shop without a word.

I'm sorry.

Is that okay?

No, I'll be careful, I'm sorry.

Long time no see.

Oh...I am Miwa, your niece.

I remember, of course I remember.

Wait, what's up with you?

Running away from home?

No, it's not like that.

I have explained it carefully to my family members.

Hmm... I haven't heard anything about you coming.

It's because I'm on summer vacation now.

And I've always wanted to come here.

Although I was told not to come alone.

I still tried very hard to persuade everyone.

Finally everyone agreed.

As long as I stay with you.

Hmm...

You're telling me this now...

I thought someone at home had already contacted you.

This bag…

My mom also has the same one.

You really are sisters.

Oh, you mean that one?

Actually, I don't really like that bag.

So I was planning to sell it.

Anyway, I'll help you book a hotel.

I don't have that much money.

Just for two or three nights? I can afford that.

It might be longer than that.

Why?

I'm here to find my dad.

Why are you only looking for him now?

Do you know

how many nuclear weapons there are in the world now?

Hmm?

There are over 13,000.

I see.

No matter how deep our love is.

No matter how hard we try.

The next day, a nuclear bomb could be launched.

And it would all be over.

That day will come.

I thought I shouldn't wake you up.

Thanks for the breakfast you provided.

It doesn't matter.

But you have to clean up after you finish eating.

That's what you had alone last night.

"Yuu"

I'll just call you "Miwa,"

is that okay?

By the way,

You said you wanted to find your dad, but how are you going to do that?

Do you still remember what he looks like?

I remember when that man left your house...

You were just starting elementary school, right?

Will you help me find him?

Are you off today, Auntie?

Yuu, Miwa, is that okay?

I found this.

You're still wearing earrings.

Anyway, it's summer vacation now.

Just searching for someone could take until winter vacation.

I'm good at solving puzzles.

I did some research and found out the places he might go.

Most of them are around Shibuya.

Especially for lunch, he almost always eats in Shibuya.

This means his base of activities on weekdays is in Shibuya.

And there's a high possibility he works in Shibuya too.

Also, many photos...

Ah, right.

Miwa.

Can you help me clean the bathroom?

Huh?

You'll be staying at my place for a while, right?

The bathroom gets used every day.

It would be better if it's clean, right?

That's true...

Is that okay?

I can't move this by myself, Natsuki...

Okay, okay, sorry

Alright!

It's really heavy.

It's clean, it's clean now.

Thank you, thank you.

What's that?

Something like a fingerprint.

Hmm... let's wipe that off, clean it up.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Elisa.

Happy birthday to you.

Only those who have loved can feel such strong disgust.

I can relate to that.

What?

Nothing,

let's continue talking about your work, Natsuki

Oh, right.

Well...but.

I actually don’t feel particularly disgusted.

That's easy for you to say.

But your job has nothing to do with design at all.

That's because...

Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit.

Well, I do plan to make a change.

I have to make a change.

A girl like you, a graduate of an art college.

With eyes sparkling.

Entering this industry,

And her dreams are shattered like this.

The company can't go on like this.

I seriously intend to reform the company.

It's not just me...

The president also understands this.

Hey!

Are you listening?

Huh?
