Dad!
Don't call me "Dad."
I am your boss.
Morning!
It's morning now!
Rise and shine!
She wanted to eat breakfast with "Rei-kun."
Rise and shine already!
Rise and shine!
Bull's-eye.
Yay!
What is this?
It's what she said she wanted.
Kids, am I right?
You like it?
You two, I swear...
I'm going to see Kyu-chan today.
For a job?
No, the quest for her parentage.
What's parentage?
Ups!
I'm still eating, damn it!
Here, I'll give you a banana! Banana!
Banana!
Well, can you take it?
Banana! Banana!
Bananas sure are good!
Give it! Give it!
She's like a little monkey!
"Banyanya! Banyanya!"
I want it! Banyanya! Banyanya!
You're really sending her back?
Say that!
Gimme!
Ook ook!
'Course I am.
Banyanya! Banyanya! Banyanya!
I can't take care of a kid.
The world we belong to
is a world of darkness.
Hey, I want to love, is this true love?
Is just wanting to be loved insincere?
What should I do?
Oh, what should I do?
As usual, the whole city
Is madly in love and excited
Extras like me just go home
But I'm not sulking at all
"And then you appeared suddenly
As though you were ripping
through those days
With your smile that leaves me numb
You shattered my heart
Hey, I want to love, is this true love?
Is just wanting to be loved insincere?
What should I do?
Oh, what should I do?
How the heck should I know?
I don't know what's going on in your head
But it's not fair that you're so friendly
Once again, I'm being
swallowed up by your rhythm
There you go, you've got me
wrapped around your finger again
There you go, you've got me
wrapped around your finger again

Sorry about that last job.
H-How'd it turn out?
That's none of your concern.
Scary!
But I have the information you asked for.
Oh, thanks.
You're making the delivery?
Of the "doll present" that
the target left behind?
Y-Yeah...
Oh, right.
Anyway, gotta go, in a hurry!
Thanks for the meal!
I know where Miri's mom lives now.
She's probably not much of a mom, but...
It's one of those "better
than nothing" deals.
I never met my parents.
My life went really off the rails,
and ended up like this.
You don't usually talk like that.
Really?
Here!
Dumplings!
Take one!
Eat it!
The hell I—
Eat it, Papa!
You—
Don't call me "Papa" in front of people!
There's no people.
Now, "Thank you for the food!"
Thank you for the food.
—cious sweet potatoes!
Sweet potatoes!
Delicious sweet potatoes!
Delicious sweet potatoes!
I'm done for.
Can't say no to that smile.
I don't have many memories of smiling
when I was her age.
Me either.
Yeah, your family sounds
like a pain in the ass.
Not that I'd know.
I won't ask.
I wouldn't tell.
Hey! Can I have a sweet potato?
Roasted
Sweet
Potatoes
Careful! They're hot!
At the end of the day...
I just wasn't cut out for it.
We got potatoes!
Eh? Where's mine?
Nowhere.
Huh?
Let's share, Papa!
What a good kid!
You're a lousy actor.
I'm gonna grab drinks.
I wanna go swing!
Push me! C'mon!
Child Protection Squad
Excuse me, dear.
Are you by yourself?
No...
Would you be her father?
No.
Other family, then?
No.
Hey! What's going on here?
Would you be her father, then?
Oh, yeah! I am!
Right, Miri?
C'mon! Call me Papa!
Miri-chwan!
You said no "Papa" in front of people!
I didn't mean now!
You heard that, right?
She just called me Papa!
Well, I suppose...
Don't scare me like that, Miri!
Bye! Sorry for the trouble!
You can call me "Papa"
in situations like that!
Okay! I will, Papa!
Same to you.
When that stuff comes up, say you're her dad!
Why?
'Cause they'll get up
on our asses otherwise.
Is Rei-kun my papa, too?
No.
Papa Rei!
Wrong.
Papa Rei!
Cut it out.
Now, get some sleep.
If you don't...
The ghosts will haunt you!
I wanna see a ghost!
Nah, I was messing with you.
There's no ghosts. Go sleep.
I wanna sleep with Papa!
Lights out now!
Where's Rei-kun?
Who knows?
Rei-kun, found... you?
Found you!
How come you sleep here?
In case of an ambush.
Ambush?
If scary guys come.
Ghosts?
I'll sleep here, too!
It's not safe alone.
If I have a scary dream and wet the bed,
Papa Kazuki's gonna be mad.
Scary stuff, scary stuff, fly away!
What?
Mama did it for me when I was a little baby.
It's the smile spell!
Smile!
I don't smile.
It's how I was brought up.
Was it a spell?
Maybe.
Smile!
Smile!
Smile!
That's her mother, huh?
Are we going out?
Yeah. You wanna eat your
mama's Hamburg steak?
Yes!
Then let's get some!
Yay!
It says food!
Something something food market...
Wholesale Grocery
Wholesale Grocery

Wholesale Grocery
It says "Wholesale Grocery."
Whole sale gyoza-ry?
Not gyoza-ry. Gro-ce-ry!
I love gyoza!
She's not listening.
Well, this'll be our last time together.
Let's make the most of it.
You're sure about this?
Huh? Why wouldn't I be?
This combination's no good
to us and no good to her.
We're just going back to
our lives as they were.
Such a lousy actor...
I'll go check things out first.
Why?
It won't take long.
Hamburg steak?
Yeah. Just wait here and be good.

This it?
That song...
C'mon! I'm bored!
I wanna go swing!
I wanna go swing! Swings! Swings! Swings!
Stop kicking.
Don't say goodbye!
Don't say goodbye!
We don't open until tonight.
I've got a question for you.
Who the hell are you?
What the hell's wrong with you?
I said, no clients without my say-so!
I'm not—
Don't argue with me!
Knock it off.
You son of a—
Hey, cut it out!
Damn it!
You okay?
He really—
Don't you touch my man!
Sit down. I'll treat your cut.
Rei-kun, push me!
Now that one!
Rei-kun, get on, too!
Not there!
Over there!
Like this! Up and down!
Aha.
So much fun!
Rei-kun! Watch me!
Are you watching?
Is he her father?
Hey, watch more!
He could at least wave back to her!
He seems very neglectful!
Rei-kun!
That was fun!
Let's play again tomorrow, Rei-kun!
With Papa Kazuki.
Why do you refer to Kazuki as "Papa"?
Because he's Papa!
He saved me!
What about your real father?
"Papa" is the person who saves
you when you're in trouble!
Got it?
Father...
Why didn't you finish it off?
k*ll or be k*lled.
Don't disappoint me.
Dad!
Don't call me "Dad."
I am your boss.
This way!
Wait for me!
Eh?
So? What'd you want again?
You've got a kid, right?
Maybe I do.
She misses you.
Oh, are you one of his g*ons?
So where's my money?
You brought it, right?
I don't work for him.
I just found a lost kid and took her in.
Oh, hell.
But whatever.
Me and that kid are nothing
to each other now.
That's not true!
She wants to eat your Hamburg steak.
I buy that sh*t packaged
from the supermarket.
Two hundred yen for a three-pack.
She really liked that?
Talk about a cheap date.
Dunno where she gets that from.
So make it for her.
You're her mother.
You think I wanted a kid?
That irresponsible bastard
took advantage of me.
Then he kicked me to the curb
without scrap of compensation...
I never want to see that kid again.
How can you...
I wanted to smack her
every time she laughed.
There was nothing funny going on
at all, and she'd still laugh at me.
Even when I'd tell her to stop...
It pissed me off so much!
It's not the kid's fault!
And you're being just as
irresponsible as her father!
You think you have the right to lecture me?
When a kid laughs, you're supposed
to want to protect them more!
That's parental instinct!
What would you know about any of it?
Feeding her and dressing her
every single day...
She destroyed my dreams, and I'm
supposed to laugh about it?!
That's supposed to come naturally
from being a mother!
Isn't struggling and sacrificing
parts of your life for your kid
supposed to be part of
the joy of parenthood?
It's always the ones with
the loftiest ideals
who bring the greatest
misfortune to their families.
You've never tried raising a kid yourself.
Give me a g*dd*mn break!
Every single one of them...
Just go already!
Get out of my life!
Well? What's your name?
Unasaka Miri! Four years old!
Where'd you come from?
Over there!
You know your address?
No!
A lost child...
I can get home!
We should probably take her in.
Let's get her to the station.
Don't wanna!
Hey, calm down!
No! Wanna go home!
Quit struggling.
Just come with us!
Save me, Papa!
Save me, Papa!
"Papa" is the person who saves
you when you're in trouble!
No! Let me go!
Quit squirming!
Who're you?
Let her go.
Eh?
I promised we'd play together tomorrow.
Are you her guardian?
No.
Friend's kid?
No.
I am...
her papa.
Let's go home, Miri.
Papa Rei!
Let's go home, Miri.
Okay!
Papa Kazuki!
Welcome back!
Hey.
All done?
I played with Papa Rei!
"Papa Rei," was it?
Papa Rei!
You grinned about it too.
Did not!
So? What now?
Let's see...
Let's get some dinner on the way home.
For three?
For three.
Got it.
What happened to your face?
I just have no luck with women.
Sounds about right.
Mama's Hamburg steak!
Yep! Eat your fill!
Yay!
Better than Papa Kazuki's!
I love it!
You two, I swear...
Acceptable, though.
The scenery never changes and
every day is full of surprises
But those are the best parts
Wrapped around your finger
and going in circles
These days are dizzying yet endearing
On your restless nights,
I softly whisper a lullaby
And stroke your hair to the
rhythm of your breathing
I just want these days to
continue as long as possible
Even if it's just a day
I chased after you as you ran barefoot
Maybe one day, you'll surpass me, ah
I wonder what tomorrow's going to be like
Why don't we walk together?
This will always be our place to come home to
And it'll shine down on our sadness
That's all right, yeah, that's okay
Let's try to share our love together
Let the light always shine upon hope
When the future is unpredictable
Okay, it's bedtime.
Papa, sleep with me!
Sleep with me and Papa Rei!
That wouldn't be relaxing.
Let go, please.
No! No, no, no!
We all gotta sleep together!
Gyoza...
Hey, Rei!
Can you move her to your side more?
Hey!
Are you asleep already?!
