Become a Mother (母になる)

MPD calling all stations, MPD calling all stations.

Now at Asami Pier, in jurisdiction of Chidori Station.

We got a 110 (emergency police) call reporting a child's hoodie and shoes floating in the water.

Any station nearby, come in.

This is Chidori Station Car 1, currently patrolling Nishi-Yaguchi 2-chome.

A yellow hoodie? Really?

Yes. It looks like they found it.

Papa!

Kashiwazaki-kun.

Manager! Your sandals!

Huh? Ah, thank you.

This way.

Yui-chan.

We just confirmed this with your wife.

No... this is wrong!

- Mother. - But, his name...

We talked about this at the amusement park.

Kou wore this... This is my son's hoodie.

It was discovered in the riverbed of Ota this morning.

We are currently searching throughout the entire riverbed.

The riverbed... what's the meaning of this!

What do you take me for?

Don't speak as if he's dead!

Mother!

Hey! Don't speak as if he's dead!

Mother...

I had a dream.

That child was there.

Yo-chan was there.

My mother-in-law was there.

Everyone was smiling.

As if I were in a distant dream...

That child...

That irreplaceable and beloved child...

My son...

...is gone.

[Haha ni Naru - Episode 1 Subbed by ayamefan13]

I'm Kashiwazaki Kou!

Kou? How are you?

If I were to meet you someday...

If I could meet you again...

There are so many things...

So many things I want to tell you.

How did your parents meet?

How did your parents fall in love?

For instance, during those spring days...

Thank you very much.

Regarding the singularity in the current state of families of future generations...

How do you feel about that?

Me? I...

That's the title.

"How Do You Feel About the Singularity in the Current State

of Families of Future Generations" is the title.

Ah, you're ordering this book. I apologize.

The author is Dr. K. Jones. The publisher is Nikko Publishing.

K. Jones. Nikko Publishing... okay.

Could you say the title again?

"About The Singularity..."

About the s-singularity...

Ah, I apologize.

Please order this book.

- Certainly. - Here.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Ah, I didn't get his name!

"How Do You Feel About the Singularity in the Current State of Families of Future Generations"

The door is closing.

Thank you very much.

Ah...

Ah, excuse me...

Um...

Regarding the singularity in the current state of families of future generations...

- How do you feel about that? - How do you feel about that?

It took half a year until we starting talking.

Thank you very much!

It took half a year to know his name.

Kashiwazaki-san.

Yes.

Ah, I'm sorry.

I'm okay.

Slowly...

Slowly the distance between us became smaller.

Yoichi-san, what part do you want to eat?

- Of what? - The cake.

Do you want to eat the santa? Or...

Ah, what?

I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry...

No, I'm okay...

I'm okay.

Sorry.

I'll clean my face.

The baby is healthy and slowly growing bigger.

Don't worry, the baby is healthy.

Oh...

The baby is still so little.

I could feel the baby move.

Yo-chan, are you listening?

The doctor said I'm 12 weeks pregnant.

Oh...

Yo-chan... can we meet today?

- Can I wait for you? - Yeah.

Okay...

They say this is good. Hey, do you know about this?

There's a hole in the middle, like a donut-shaped pillow for newborns.

It seems to be good to sleep with. You place your head here.

See, it feels good, like this...

- See, this... - Yo-chan.

- Your head... what? - Yo-chan. Yo-chan, sit up.

Okay.

- Having a child... - Yes...

Are you happy about it?

What? Are you not happy?

- Of course I'm happy. - Ah, Yui... um...

I'm... researching artificial intelligence under Professor Nishihara

at Touoh University's Department of Science and Engineering...

- I know. - I'm still a part-time professor on a low salary...

and I still don't have much research funds...

If I ask the university for any academic books,

they will order it for me.

In other words, I didn't have to go to your workplace to order books.

What?

I... just wanted to see you.

What?

Kashiwazaki-san.

Yes.

Then, we'll contact you once your book arrives.

Thank you.

- What? - I noticed you on the bus every day...

Miss, please sit here.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me.

- What? - I've always noticed you...

Ah, rather than saying that you fell for me first,

I fell for you earlier than that.

I had no idea.

Everything is in reverse order, but...

Let's get married.

What...?

Please marry me.

No.

- What? Let's get married. - No, no.

- Let's live together? - No, no.

Yoichi-san's girlfriend is here!

Is it a boy? A girl?

What are you saying, Mother? You're so quick.

She didn't think you were interested in anyone.

- Yamano Yui-san. - It's nice to meet you.

- Hooray! Hooray! - Hooray!

Hooray!

It's a bit messy, but come in.

Being pregnant with you...

gave me a lot of happiness.

The scenery before me

started to open up even more.

Professor Nishihara's field of study is not only artificial intelligence,

he also studies web mining and data analysis.

Stop! Let's not talk about formal things.

Well, the reason we're here today is...

To tell the truth, there's something I wanted to tell you...

- Ah, sorry for being late! - Ribo, you're late!

Tabo, I couldn't understand your directions.

- Ah, you got lost? - I got lost.

- Ah, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Risako.

Um, you're Kashiwazaki Yoichi-san and...

- I'm Yui. - Ah, Yui-san. It's nice to meet you.

I don't mean to take advantage of the opportunity, but... we're in the same situation.

Would a girl or boy be better?

If the baby resembles me, it doesn't matter.

- Professor? - Yes, I'm getting married.

A shotgun wedding.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

[Nishihara Taiji-san and Risako-san Wedding Celebration Party]

- Wow! - Risako-san is so pretty! Right?

Okay, come this way.

Please enjoy.

Are you not feeling well?

No, I'm feeling fine.

Well...

My co-workers are also beauticians.

"Congratulations on your wedding!" "Congratulations on your pregnancy!"

"I'm envious of you." "I don't have to get married,"

"I just want a child." While saying things like that,

Talking about where to go after work ends...

Talking about where I will go on my next vacation...

Talking about what I will do... that's all I did.

I'm sick of it.

When this child is born,

My world will become smaller...

For everyone that is having fun and laughing like that...

It's like they came to a different place.

It's like they can never return.

I...

I'm in the same place you are.

I see!

Right?

Okay! Let's go greet everyone!

Thanks.

Thank you very much for coming today.

Um, um, um...
