Chihiro Episode 1-12 English Dub 2021

[Music] if you have to struggle when you're young your life will be easier when you're an adult that's what my mom always said [Music] honestly it was probably just a distorted version of some proverbs [Music] you must be very surprised to find yourself suddenly all alone in the world i'm so sorry that i couldn't stay with you forever it's every mother's dream that she'd be able to see her child grow into an adult i'm sure you're probably wondering what's going to happen to you after this huh i think you'll be fine so don't worry mr sun always hides behind clouds my only concern is that you're a little bit of a nervous wreck remember that life usually works out okay in the end so you don't have to stress about it too much do your best love mom thanks so much for the pep talk mom [Music] what are you doing you're welcome to stay here while you figure things how you look at out an elementary school kid is just too young to have to go through this kind of stuff it's gotta be tough i'm surprised you came to school today i made the bed dusted everything took out the garbage started laundry and prepped the food for dinner there was nothing left for me to do so i came to school i could use some help with my bedroom you know so what are you gonna do now are you moving in with a cousin or something i don't really have any relatives seriously i guess you'll just be homeless that'll be cool yeah wow thanks for the encouragement good morning [Music] if you need anything at all just let me know okay [Music] see you later bye it's kind of weird i feel like i'm stuck in a daze i guess things haven't had time to sink in yet i mean it makes sense mama's always working so maybe i'm just used to not having her around i might get to skip the whole grieving process [Music] i was only trying to mind my own business here i had no way of knowing i was on youtube have you come to save me please kid i'm on borrowed time here [Music] i can tell that you're judging me that devilish monstrosity has you completely fooled i know he looks cute with those precious paws and wiggly tails but the face just gets sharper with hate you know thank you so much let's go i appreciate you rescuing me you're my hero wait a second little boy might i ask if your name is cheeky tell me who you are first so i'm right you have such a remarkable resemblance [Music] so nice to meet you my name is monica takatori i'm your long-lost uncle what this opportunity will be such a blessing now you have a place to live take care of herself [Music] master monika i was wondering where you went were you lost without me look who i brought home his belongings are all outside will you bring them in for him certainly oh just a minute okay um i don't think i'm the person you were looking for please tell me you confirmed everything before you brought him here of course i did and anyway look at his face you can just tell no way none of this makes any sense we didn't really have a lot of money and mom said we didn't have any relatives well she was estranged from the family for a long while i suppose it's only natural she'd have considered herself alone in the world i wonder why she kept that from you hard to believe such a young woman could die of heart failure she struggled day after day just to make ends meet why if she had a family why didn't they ever try to help her my sister wanted to live life on her own terms though we both knew it would disgrace our father she left home and had you she valued the freedom to do things her way well then that's what i'll do too i'll make it by myself without help from anyone i'm going home going home to where that place is not your home anymore [Music] it would make things a lot easier if you'd let yourself be helped i feel you have every right to do so you're a child after all she hit her weight now what was the point of teasing the boy i know you're right but he was saying such cute things i couldn't help myself he really reminds me so much of my sister it's true he certainly gets his strong will from her his looks too you sounded serious about taking him in forgive me but i can't quite imagine you're looking after a child i do have a lot to learn but i'd really like to try call it a burst of spontaneity in honor of my big sister the young man seems to have no interest in living here though not right at this moment but it isn't as if he has many options i'm sure he understands he can't survive on his own he's a little young for that yet i wish i was a grown-up i could do whatever i want oh come on now chihiro you gotta perk up if it weren't for me maybe mom would still be alive please come back so where do you think he ran off to anyway considering the direction he went he's probably in the kitchen [Applause] the kitchen i don't think i've paid a visit for three months or so no no what the heck is this you two must be out of your minds do you suppose washing dishes could be the boy's strange hobby you know as well as i do however it is in there i've told you many times to hire somebody but i'm not good with strangers you should know that by now this smells like death where does this even drop [Music] well guess who just had himself an idea i can't believe it's happening this early in the year be nice this is the best one i've had in a while considering your track record that's not saying much finally you getting off the floor listen you two you should try having a little pride in where you ever heard of a duster oh have you finished your chores in time for the ball congratulations cinderfella my name is chihiro i'm just giving you a hard time however i really can't deny how much work you put into tidying up the kitchen not a speck of dirt you really need to hire a housekeeper or something there's so many health code violations i think that's a wonderful idea i already have someone in mind for the job that's good to know three meals a day plus snacks it'd be a live-in position and cover school fees sound good what do you think huh you'd hate to be indebted to the takatari family so i'd like to offer an opportunity where you can earn your keep instead a little give and take p.s those who do not work shall not eat oh did she know okay then i'll clean this dough for you but i can still leave it anytime i think that sounds pretty fair you're high [Music] you've got to be kidding you can't work without a unified but does it really need to be so brilliant oh you don't like the ruffles i think they suit you i'm out of here sicko come now being adorable will make you work that much harder that doesn't make any sense at all would you be more comfortable in a different color i got pink and yellow as well what about the color how sad i had hoped we would get along better than this i hope that you wouldn't be a total monatic and don't call me g you're telling me that he's been cleaning without a break since last night why is he still running around are you trying to work him to death his first week here no i told him he needed to stop working and rest but then he got all snippy he said how can you sleep in a dump like this huh i can't believe he disrespected our home you play the victim well but you know he was justified you could have told him this room is always available if he wants to relax i make sure to keep it clean in case you guess stopped by i tried but he said all of the corners were caked with dirt and it repulsed him so he just started cleaning from top to bottom i dusted yesterday besides it looked like he was really enjoying himself so i didn't want to disturb him i figured he'd tire out eventually that makes sense i'll tell me why he's wearing a maids apron and headband oh so you noticed i made the outfit myself when i told him it was his uniform i didn't think he'd actually put it on but what can you do there's no going back now toying with a grieving child's trust that's healthy come on it looks absolutely adorable on him which is why i made several extras so you'd have a lot of color options in other words you've accomplished nothing and basically wasted most of the day i've been found out this is my house you deserve to be evicted this is why there's no good reason to have this many rooms in one house it's not like you're using them for anything other than hiding your junk i'm so exhausted i just want to go back home i have to face reality what happened oh dear please don't pick it up with your bare hands i'll be right back with a broom hmm are you all right yeah i'm fine i can pay for it a broken fast is the least of my worries now please humor me by at least trying to sleep not even tired there's really no need to be so stubborn about this look i told you i'm fine so just leave me alone please don't brush yourself you've been through quite an ordeal it takes time to settle into a new place it really is disgusting in here i feel exactly listen you won't last much longer if you're always on guard take a moment to breathe to relax please know you're welcome to call this your home i'm so sorry i really am home my home no i don't know anything about this [Music] place he's sleeping finally that's good we can take this time to set up a bedroom for him huh everything happened so suddenly i had no way of preparing for his arrival how about we make this house a hope what do you say [Music] what shall i do with this thing oh you could throw that away hello there i hope you slept well you were out for a while what are you two doing we're busy getting a bedroom ready for you the original plan was to have you choose which room you liked the most but then i figured you could move if this one isn't to your tastes to be honest i've never actually had my own room before [Music] now that we're done cleaning why don't we have afternoon tea maybe a few sweet treats that sounds great again [Music] well i guess that about does it we appreciate your business you love it so much you're speechless only the finest linens for my little nephew don't be afraid to tell them if this hideous thing isn't to your language amazing really gee is there anything you can't do you didn't have to make me anything but i'll save her every bite there's seconds if you want more it's been so long since i've had a home-cooked meal it's perfect i'm glad you like it and everything but it's really not that big of a deal this isn't the time to be modest you should have a cooking show [Music] will you please knock before you come in here i'll attempt to but i may forget i thought i'd take a crack at bonding with you tonight what do you think love is a good topic right i don't want to bond with you different subject then now now time to work [Music] what's he doing tell me something which color do you prefer pink or purple green is my favorite color why are you asking [Music] hey this is normal behavior for him so i wouldn't worry too much if i were you he's acting even weirder than usual and he didn't finish eating his deadline for the play is coming up soon he usually gets a burst of inspiration towards the end and works like a madman oh so he's an actor he didn't tell you what he does for a living believe it or not master monica is an extremely talented costume designer he's always at home so i just assumed that he was some eccentric creep it's open now this room is all mine if you clean it up i won't be able to find [Applause] anything i've never seen him sit so quietly he's focusing he's different than he usually is like a mature adult or something take a break so you actually made all the clothes in this room from scratch i sure did what's that for i just need to borrow your head for a moment [Music] don't you need to sleep i'm too busy to stop you're gonna get sick if you don't get enough rest i noticed you didn't eat very much food today either oh that's so adorable i can't believe you're actually worrying about me no i'm not i usually quit for the night when i hit a stopping point no need to worry yourself no need to worry yourself it's all okay [Music] you shouldn't push yourself too hard and everyone needs to take a break from time to time i'll rest i promise and i assure you i keep my promises what's that even mean [Music] it's a secret [Music] remember that life usually works out okay in the end so you don't have to stress about it too much i still don't know for sure if things are gonna turn out but i'm going to keep doing my best for her finally you're really thrilled so that's the last of it right i'm all done take a look so cute meow it fits perfectly i guess i cried cat scratch fever last night what about your work oh i still have plenty of that left around until you're finished [Music] finally i'm finished okay oops sorry it was an accident i swear really there's about to be a second actually you're so mean i can't believe this how can one god make such a huge mess [Music] hi can i help you hello look at you what an adorable little girl i'm actually oh whoops you're a boy aren't you hello miyako i'm sorry to barge in like this dear brother did she just say dear brother [Music] i see you ran away from home again indeed it's all father's fault he always ignores me i have no choice but to leave be that as it may i'm not sure running away is the best solution to your problem huh why not so is your little sister or something actually no it's complicated pardon master matako it's concerning the bridal fair details oh miss miyako [Music] my day has been awful my father couldn't care less about my feelings or what i want he's such a brute what's her problem again it's complicated long story short come on motoki you don't want to marry me and i don't want to marry you either you might be getting the wrong idea about me i'm afraid oh then you must be chio son i'm sorry i should have introduced myself sooner hello my name is miyako otori you see my family and yaakov's family have been friends a long time so it seems that we're stuck together how very crass well my name's chihiro comia it's lovely to meet you i was wondering is there a reason why you're wearing such a cute maid outfit because apparently i've lost what's left of my dignity yeah it's because i hired chihiro to be our new living housekeeper oh he's working at such a young age but why well i'll tell you mark child come live in this gorgeous mansion ah your sweet uncle shall spoil you rotten never i couldn't possibly be in your debt please allow me to work for room and board at least you're so kind thank you what a beautiful story i think i'd rather be homeless impressive even though he's still young tahito is so independent i don't know what that's like must be nice yes he works hard okay ichiro and i know he can rely on chihiro for anything isn't that right right i agree with you he's very reliable hmm that's it i know now what needs to be done if i want my father to take me seriously then i have to show him that i can be responsible i decided i must be more independent i'll be just like chihido i need your help i want to learn to do everything that you can do won't you teach me okay [Music] okay then i'm ready teacher what's the first thing on the list you can do it chi get lost slacker right let's start with the basics think you can sweep off the stairs no problem sweep sweep start from the top you have to wring out the mop first sorry don't play the windows with the dust rag here's the difference are you okay yes i'm terrible at cleaning i'm so sorry miss miyako you didn't get hurt did you i'll meet you of course not i'm sturdier than i look don't you worry about me i'm glad to hear that well then i'm done for the day so i'll just be leaving okay i'll see you tomorrow bye have a good night it was so nice seeing you again okay then what's next on our list we should probably get started on cooking dinner soon aye sir wow i used to only bake desserts and sweets but then i practiced until i could cook a complete meal that's awesome so can i count on you to finish up with dinner sure what a remarkable feast miyako you made all this wow it's delicious thanks i'm so glad you like it by the way where's chihiro run off to oh i'm not sure i think he said he might eat later he did try a lot of food while i was cooking hmm i should probably mention that i was the one who taught miyako how to bake no duh i can help you out if you want no thanks it'll be faster if i just do it in fact you'd probably make it worse fine um do you think i should offer to help no he told me that class is finished for today so you can take the evening off all done well i guess i got a little carried away it's cold out here oh cheeto have you been working this whole time me uh yeah but only because i'm a real stickler when it comes to cleaning it's because of me i've done nothing but cause you trouble today looks like i'll never be independent at this point i should probably give up and do whatever father tells me a while back our families made an agreement and they decided that when i turned 16 monika and i would get married don't get me wrong he's really nice and all but i want well i tried to tell my family i wanted to choose who i would marry but they called me selfish you aren't being selfish what why would anybody force you to marry that and more importantly i get the feeling that maybe you like you know more than my uncle why would you think that just the secret's out i guess i can't hide my feelings anymore were you trying to hide them you fooled me come on be honest did you do all this housework stuff to impress you yes i wanted to but well you saw me today i was terrible really terrible all i did was make a mess of everything i'll never impress him like i said i should give up and do whatever father tells me like always you should never betray yourself sometimes in life compromise is necessary but don't do anything that goes against your heart so mom said there's only one way to fail and that's giving up before you've tried except i did fail i couldn't do anything right no not drew you made an amazing dinner it tasted great if i can teach you how to clean as well as you cook then you'll be golden that means a lot you know what from here on out i'm going to start putting more faith in myself [Music] hello sir right things should be fine now okay then why don't you stop by and pick her up tomorrow perfect now do a turn oh you're too cute for words wear this uniform while you're training with chi okay okay and i promise to keep working hard it's surprising how fast he manages to make stuff like that i'll get it this time the way guess what else i made mini miyako nk ichiro cookies those are too adorable i know wait a second does that mean you wrecked my kitchen again wrecked is such a destructive word there's only a little flower here and there i just cleaned in there i can't leave you alone for five minutes stop yelling at me man i'll help clean it up i'm not sure what to do with miyako i hope she hasn't caused you any trouble what is the meaning of this explain yourself well i guess the cat's out of the bag i like mates we're leaving this instant young lady wait what's your rush father monica i believe you were a high caliber man clearly that was a mistake i'm calling off the engagement it's a good thing you found out sooner rather than later i forbid you from ever seeing that miscreant again do you understand me miako doesn't mean [Music] yeah you are crass that's rude i was only trying to be heroic you could have just refused like an adult idiot no name calling i worked hard hey look who it is [Music] up here hey i haven't seen you at school in a while everything okay someone told me that you moved in with your uncle is it true yeah i'm sorry i really meant to tell you guys but i'll be coming back to school after the golden week holiday yeah that's cool hey tell us all about your new place and what's your uncle like is he nice and he's kind of weird but i suppose he's nice enough except for the man i can't tell them about that they'll just make fun of me me may what maybe i'm overthinking it in fact everything is fine totally normal and boring yep okay hey comeo what's wrong you're acting kind of strange me no the other comey of course i mean you what no i can't look if you need help or whatever guys i'm just fine everything's good it's getting late i should probably be going now hey what's the rush [Music] man i feel bad for ditching but what else could i do this isn't something that's easy to explain nope wow this place is huge you gotta be kidding he lives here it's like a modern-day orphan annie story well he's okay so let's go well i knew something strange was going on can we pretend this didn't happen no way at the park you told us everything was just fine come on fess up is that true yes absolutely then what's up with the homemade outfit are they forcing you to work for them no they're not it's nothing like that at all you'd hate to be indebted to the takatari family so i'd like to offer you an opportunity in the end i only have myself to blame for all this so cosplay's your thing huh talk about surprising yeah i am not into cosplay this happens to be my work uniform your work uniform well i guess it's cool as long as you're okay and the clothes aren't half bad either you actually pull it off thanks a lot but you guys don't have to lie to me okay we're not think we'd make fun of you for working that would make us pretty crappy friends in the future just be honest with us okay we're supposed to stick together and stuff true it warms my heart to see that you have such caring friends by the way i'm shahiro's uncle nice to meet you buddy yeah see you at school bye come here they seem like a good group yeah i'd like to invite them back over again sometime of course when you do i'll be sure to bake them some cookies you stay out of my kitchen all right teacher i'm finished [Music] food's done cleanup's done good a-plus work this is the best day ever yes yes wonderful work i was wondering can we eat i'm starving next we need to work on finishing it a little faster yes sir [Music] so you two have a cooking class every sunday i'm impressed by how hard miyako's working yep oh yeah i was wondering if quichito is off on sundays hmm do you think he would come over for dinner my only wish in this world is to cook dinner for cage here one evening that'd be a dream come true you're like miyako's fairy godparent well i'm sure kaiichiro would come over if we asked him but your chances would be better if pudding was on the menu oh so he prefers pudding for real yep it's definitely his favorite isn't that adorable yeah sure adorable anyway we can't exactly make putting the main dish so i'll just put it down for dessert let's see he's also a big fan of sushi but i'm not sure if miyako knows how to make it hold up now that i think about it i don't know what kind of food he likes even though i've cooked for him every day okay well we're feeding a small army today yeah i accidentally made too much you don't have to eat it all though sounds like a challenge he totally bought it this is a surefire way to find out what he likes i'm so stuffed [Music] you're emitting a scary aura you're seeing things anyway which food did you like the best everything nobody likes everything you've got to have some sort of preference what are my favorite foods why are you so curious well i'm the one who cooks for you after all i should know that seems like a valid enough point i'd like to eat whatever my dear nephew wants to make for me of course what kind of answer is that if you won't tell me your preferences then i'll just be forced to make you nothing at all i really don't understand your logic though come on i'm serious there must be something you want tell me and i'll make it for you maybe a bento you're going back to school tomorrow so you can just make mine when you make yours [Music] okay wait i still don't know what food he likes guess i'll just pick something i suppose i could use some of the leftovers from dinner oh and we already have the stuff for meatloaf so i can make meatballs or should i make fish if you were in kindergarten i could make those octopus shaped hot dogs maybe not old omelettes i've never made them but mom was great at it what do you think looks pretty awesome huh oh how did you get so good at making rolled omelettes practice makes perfect here oh yeah could you practice making other food then how rude if you chase two rabbits you won't catch either chihiro sounds like an excuse do you think you could teach me to cook them no way then i won't have anything else to do around here i'm the official omelet maker so back off buddy you gave yourself a title anyway why decide to focus on omelets of all things i'll tell you why you're such a creeper in the end i never learned how to do it i really wish i tried harder to get mom to teach me it's too late now i'll just have to do my best today i will become the official omelet maker in your place [Music] good morning morning is this my bento yeah yay you're the best sorry about what i messed up today's lunch oh hey don't open it now what are you doing i burned them i really wanted to make them pretty like mom's rolled omelettes but i haven't practiced enough so they look nasty this is delicious doesn't it taste burnt it reminds me when we were kids we'd have picnics in the garden huh and sis would always volunteer to make the bento for all of us but her lunches mostly consisted of weirdly shaped rice balls and burnt rolled omelets is it supposed to be burnt excuse me never mind the rice balls those rolled omelets were a disaster she had used way too much sugar the flavor was all wrong but to tell you the truth in spite of all that i actually liked her cooking anyway why decide to focus on omelets of all things i'll tell you why because i was tired of having my failures always eaten as if they were delicious you must have learned to make them quite nicely i'll practice too i won't give up until they look like moms wait and see they're gonna be better than those failures i made this morning you got that sure like it or not you're going to be my taste tester for them [Music] count me in moving on the next item on our list i'd like to discuss is joe are you listening ben master monica to monica what is it lunch time already time for my bento right if that bento box will get you to focus then sure by all means run up a teeth okay time to eat by the way if you don't have plans then you should come eat dinner with us on sunday and there's going to be pudding pudding anyway these are all my failed attempts [Music] you guys go ahead and help yourselves okay you told us to skip breakfast for some burnt omelets [Music] so [Music] can you turn that alarm off i'm trying to sleep how could anyone expect me to sleep in my own bed when it's completely buried underneath all my work stuff maybe try taking responsibility for your mess instead of dragging everyone else into it this might help take it pepper spray can keep even the most aggressive annoyance at arm's length what exactly are you trying to say as if barging into his room without asking makes me some sort of degenerate i have to figure out a way to keep him out of my room maybe i just need to get a big guard dog oh man love to have a dog we weren't allowed to have pets in our apartment oh i bet keeping a puppy your size in my room would be no trouble at all i should stop kidding myself cleaning up after monica and a pet would be more trouble than i can handle i'm sure someone really great is gonna adopt you would you care to explain this well that's a kitten but hello this is keiichiro and i'm afraid he's brought in another cat i'm not sure where he found a kitten i would say it's about a month old and male he's a black short hair one white pawn blue eyes yes it's very cute thank you again for your help and we'll see you soon i have to ask how many more times must we go through this you aren't allowed to bring cats into this home you know you're severely allergic i've been crying in the garden since yesterday i couldn't just ignore it yes one of you trying to rescue every stray with a sob story you'll end up at the hospital i can't believe you're being so selfish you know this kid needs me what should i do stay strong just go downstairs and talk him into it one look at that sweet face and he'll give it please go away i won't borrow time here am i kidding that'll never work oh okay i'm sure it's gonna be just fine i can keep you up here until i find someone who wants to adopt you okay cheeto took my kitty away the only choice i have is to use you as a substitute into my griefs of science i'm feeling better already you're the cutest little dang so tell me you really like cats don't you yeah and dogs too beasts from hell if you so much as look at them wrong they'll turn fishes and attack you someone else is gonna hear me i can't figure out why such malicious animals aren't locked away in the city zoo oh i'll go start the tea wait could you put this on first sorry my apartment doesn't allow pets our cat's like 100 so it's probably not the best idea we would take them but we have three dogs already would you get so interested in finding homes for stray animals you probably should have just kept walking now you're stuck with that when someone would have taken it home eventually i couldn't just leave it like that i didn't know what else to do i hope you at least found a good hiding spot for it it's in my room you are kidding right if your uncle finds out he'll send the poor thing straight to the pound [Music] is it just me or has chihiro been acting off lately i can't say i've noticed anything it seems his mind is someplace else i put those catters on him yesterday he didn't bat an eye he may still be adjusting to all the changes i wish i knew how to get him to open up about his feelings you know you're home quite early too you're still here such a good boy all right then have you found it at home not yet i'll see what i can do though my network of pet adopters consists mainly of cat lovers but we have to start somewhere really well i'm grateful you told me the truth now it'll be easier for me to help you with this sorry should have said something sooner there's someone else who might deserve an apology um i i'm sorry for not asking your permission did you hear me [Applause] wait monica this beauty i'm so staring into my soul can you put him in another room please stop that do i look like a chew toy should i ask him he already looks angry but i have to do the right thing you told me how much you hate dogs but is there any way you'd allow me to keep it here until i can find a good owner of course you're a member of this household and as such have every right to make requests without fear there's no need to hide things did you really think i wouldn't even consider the idea i was wrong he's not angry at me i hurt his feelings madoka i'm sorry i won't hide anything from you next time trust me i'll trust you too i believe in us hey don't laugh at me sorry i believe in us too there's no way i'm going to clean up after that thing you don't even clean up after yourself i knocked i thought a sleepover might be fun now that we've made up [Music] sleepover might be fun with the three of us is that okay he'll lately i've been letting this little guy sleep in the bed with me at night so you have to be careful when you climb in okay why does that fleabag get priority over me this is ridiculous come back here boy where'd you go i thought i lost you for a second it's so overgrown gardeners sure have their work cut out for them today i'm coming hey there he knew landscaping here you got a job no way who knew you don't think i can handle it be respectful to the clients how you doing it's been a while hasn't it yeah it's great to see you what a mess from the looks of this place we've got a full day ahead of us i guess the master of the house has more important things to do than pull up some weeds is that so i had no idea you were the gardener's grandson it's a small world after all i help out sometimes shouldn't you head back over there as long as jihido keeps him company i'm gonna take it easy it's funny those two have always gotten along with each other i wonder why it's the goatee i don't think that's it and you couldn't pull it off you two must be getting a lot closer lately huh do you really think so sure i mean you snaked that puppy in the house you'd have to feel pretty comfortable around here to try that now listen here things would go much smoother if you cooperate honestly i've never seen him let loose like that chihiro is usually too high strung to take many risks hmm in my experience he's mostly angry between you and me i think he's a big control freak hino you need to go get the fertilizer out of the truck okay grandpa just said he's taking your cut if you don't start helping oh coming wait do what now seriously i've been trying to teach that boy the value of a hard day's work i wish i'd learned even a little from your example i mean you're giving your all even while wearing that pretty maid outfit that's impressive dedication dedication yeah thanks a lot always thought that young fellow owned this place was eccentric who could have guessed it was chio's little brother i have to tell you my wife and i have been discussing whether or not we should take you in [Music] he knows that you didn't have any other family members if you need anything at all just let me know okay he really meant it the offer still stands if you ever want to come we love a full house it's great having kids around right now we have six of them plus three dogs and pets are up here alley [Laughter] wow i don't even know what to say thanks but i think i'd like to stay here if i left the house i've been working so hard to clean would probably end up messy again and i can't believe i have my own room i've sort of gotten used to seeing monica and keichiro every day thanks a lot for the offer but this is home that's just fine i'm happy for you well keep them in line [Music] you're adorable like a cute little beanbag filled with anko you're so sweet so i have no choice but to call you [Music] oh and just like that he had found himself an odor a happy ending i bet you're still kind of bummed that you couldn't keep it though to be honest i don't think monica was handling this dress very well he probably felt like he was trapped inside a haunted house considering how he's scared of dogs it was really cool he let you keep the puppy in the house while you look for a new owner oh that was pretty cool i don't even remember taking the time to say thank you i said no i'm not going anywhere and that's fine you can pout all you want but the arrangements have already been made it would be in bad taste to change them now i didn't even know about this faint ignorance but i confirmed all this with you twice last week i see you weren't even listening were you what's going on in here mastermonica believes if he whines enough he won't have to go on this business trip a business trip when today is sitting around here walk whining hurry up and go change your clothes why must you be so cruel to me chief this isn't him making a good first impression is essential i'm being sent away for three whole days but i want you to know you're going to be just fine i'll try to find the will to survive without you i almost forgot i have something for you it's a hand-me-down but it still works you're giving me a cell phone always try to keep it with you you can call me anytime you need okay morning afternoon even late at night i won't call now try to relax and do your job i don't wanna goodbye thank you for taking care of the house while we're away somebody call the police i'm being taken again [Music] i'm all alone i can't believe how silent this place is when there's nobody around i feel so excited to clean without anybody bothering me i'll start with the trains and ventilation fans in the kitchen then i'll wash all the windows on the terrace they'll be sparkling oh yeah i can do the curtains and cushions too i'm so ready for this so you're telling me you took a bath and got so busy cleaning afterwards you caught a cold i got a little carried away i could have sworn i saw a bit of mold between some of the tiles i started scrubbing and before i knew it it was midnight sounds like you i'm not surprised you said you'll be on your own a few more days should i worry about your sanity no i'll be fine i push myself too hard is all is there any way you could teach me how to use this thing a cell phone monica gave it to me before he left but i don't know what to do with it it hasn't stopped beeping at me since last night it looks like someone has been sending you messages first push this button to go to your mail next you press open i'm going to sleep good night sweet child heart i pray you have the sweetest of dreams tonight sparkle hit this button if you want to reply if you got something to say say it it's not like i wanted to baby me what are you so upset about you sweet child don't call me that hey i'm home it's kind of weird coming home with nobody here i'm not used to it being so quiet could someone please shift that mannequin a little to the right the fabric really pops in the spotlight yes of course sir what a talented young man he his hard work is sure to make this bridal fare a huge success thank you so much always happy to help i'd be honored if you attend the press conference tomorrow you'll make that happen won't you i'll do everything i can sir please excuse me oh sure another one doesn't he have anything better to do what a weirdo [Music] so you said just press reply what's the point of even telling him about it right now considering how he's scared of dogs it was really cool he let you keep the puppy in the house while you look for a new owner i guess i'll just go back to cleaning [Music] i'm so exhausted i wish she was here to cook us something delicious i thought i saw you eating earlier i'm not counting that meal because i couldn't fully enjoy it while worrying about home i'm sure he's so lonely he doesn't even know what to do with himself except i've sent him several messages but no response maybe you send too many well so i'm sure he'll reach out to you soon have a good night yeah sing to oh you feel hot hope i don't have a fever i should get in bed it's kind of creepy in here at night oh man could have got some real work done but naturally i come down with a stupid book no one's around i'm freezing this house is so empty everything's too still i can't relax unreal i told him he didn't need to worry about me you can call me anytime you need okay i just missed your hero the person you have called is unavailable please hang up and try again don't be dumb there's no reason to bother him at work just because you feel like you're dying i'll rest it's not a big deal it's just a little cold i'm okay if i sleep now morning will come soon what are you doing young man you're too sick to get out of bed are you trying to cook something some rice forage for my sick boy i hope you're hungry because it's almost ready [Applause] oh maybe you should use the rice cooker next time aren't you worried you'll be late for work i took the day off to be with you a little cold isn't that big of a deal listen up if you underestimate a little cold it could come back to bite you less worrying and more rest wait please i'd do anything to have you here with me mom everything will be fine there's no need to worry chihiro are you feeling all right i think you have a fever when did you get sick how did you get here easy taxi and it only took me three hours taxi how much did that cost you're insane you realize how ridiculous that is you called me isn't that right then i couldn't reach you so that's why you came home it was just a phone call [Music] i'm glad you came back [Music] yes me too oh yeah i still have to thank him the dog i'm sorry you really wanted it don't worry about it not like i have time to take care of a dog when i'm always cleaning up after you oh i see i apologize for all the trouble listen it means a lot that you let the dog stay here at all so thank you it was nothing [Music] oh good morning i hope you're hungry because this rice porridge is almost ready are you kidding me is this what it's like to have deja vu seems like your fever went down what a relief what about work aren't they expecting you to get back there oh that's no problem i handled everything you got out of it after all [Music] if the shoe fits i'm leaving the rest to you when push comes to shove feel free to use this if you need when he gets home he's going to be really angry with me so i need you to play him the sickness okay no way all you did was gripe about that trip you probably got me sick on purpose what do you say i'm the innocent one here sure you are you are both of us an apology [Music] hello i'm chihiro comia i'm just a normal fifth grader not long after my mom passed away i moved in with my uncle monika takatori he's nice enough but it's not in my nature to accept handouts so in exchange for room and board i handle all the cooking and cleaning around here it's like my mom always said those who do not work shall not eat okay what would be a good choice for breakfast this morning we just ate french toast yesterday so how about something with a little less sugar like some salmon maybe oh i swear he never closes the door [Music] good morning everyone no choice like it or not i'm doing this that's not fair we had a deal no take has declared war on my personal space what declared war stop being so over dramatic give up already this is your own fault we could have avoided this but no you refused to take responsibility now it's up to me to clean up your stupid room oh we're just talking about his room yes it was horrible when i looked he was in there the bearded baron is a man in his room good day how do you do behold the bearded baron dark fast and resilient he is the king of pests according to the that he lives in comius house a house that i clean no way keep going now scrub heavy crevices there's nothing stopping me from taming this chaotic land once and for all do you need help with anything i can handle it there's only one room could you find a way to keep monica out of my hair though i've got you covered just because it's a toy doesn't make it any less terrifying you guys are the worst let's go it's getting there still i can't believe he sleeps in this pigsty it's gross [Music] what's this thing it looks like a present what the heck it's literally just paper why does he say trash there's a ton of them they can't all be fake right what the heck is wrong with this guy all right see you tomorrow tada pretty amazing don't you think this doesn't even look like my room anymore no it looks like a place a human could sleep where are the things that were here i put away the books your stationery's in the drawer i washed the dirty laundry and i threw away all the trash the trash yes so do me a favor and stop leaving it everywhere also start putting your dirty laundry out so i can wash it fine i'm finished huh what already do you feel okay then what's wrong is it my cooking i don't get it tastes good to me i think i'll call it a night hey wait you have so many clean clothes now i don't think they'll fit in your closet what do you want me to do with the extras oh just throw them out okay we'll pick which ones you don't want then i honestly don't care i'll leave it up to you hey come on your clothes you should choose [Music] what's this problem huh a secondhand clothes shop yeah monica told me i could throw out the clothes he doesn't wear but it seems like such a waste indeed it does i'll drive you to one nearby yeah thanks you're quite welcome it's no problem at all i'm used to playing chauffeur i'll go get changed he's been weird is something wrong with him not as far as i know why what's up he just seems kind of down in the dumps lately ah he's probably pouting because you lectured him maybe i was a bit hard on him but he's seriously such a slob honestly i think you did the right thing yesterday really monica's a bit of a hoarder he can't stand throwing things away why is he like that well he's very sentimental like when he gets a gift he always saves the wrapping paper look at this now there are two he can duplicate the original packaging down to the ribbon it's a unique albeit useless skill yeah [Music] i think the reason he saves the paper is because he actually cherishes receiving a present more than the present itself [Music] it just looks like trash to be [Music] but still mom come here hey can i throw away all these old papers on the fridge like this one here what no way buster this is special a precious memento it is yes this is the list from your first trip to the grocery store silly me i accidentally wrote it in kanji you didn't know how to read that yet so you almost broke down crying right there on the sidewalk you were simply adorable you were there everything on here is special you see this it's the first time you wrote your name that looks like a map and this one is the first picture you ever drew of me creepy why do you keep these dumb papers on the fridge duh so i can see them silly head yeah but it's all cluttered and trashy looking plus there's not any room left to put up the lunch schedule no worries you can just put the schedule on top am i a genius or what [Music] maybe hoarding runs on the family to me it's just trash but to them [Music] okay [Music] looks like you could use some help carefully you'll get your suits my clothes will be fine i say we work together it's faster that way oh wow all this trash came from this room yep [Music] um here they kind of got crumpled in the trash i i ended them out but i couldn't get them back into the shapes they were in sorry i think i remember how they went so it's okay they're nice and neat now thanks a lot i mean for the record this is also kind of your fault for mixing important things in with the trash lecture mode but we just made up put your important stuff inside this box you got that otherwise i'm gonna toss it just like a mother there's no way i could fit everything into such a small box well i suggest you make it fit by the way anything sticking out gets tossed too that's not fair life's not fair you're not fair don't sass me i wasn't where to was not i heard you okay next it says to combine the eggs sugar and milk and then stir in the vanilla and then we mix it all together right good job after you're finished with the mixing use the strainer aye aye captain according to the recipe straining the mixture twice will make it much smoother [Music] okay does the book mention when we're supposed to add in the caramel sauce let's see oops looks like we should have done that first oh wait let's try this out oh look it's working even though we added it last its density makes the sauce sink to the bottom i haven't made pudding before so i never knew about that little fact let it bake for 30 minutes once they're cool to the touch wrap them in plastic and let them chill in the fridge for a while look the caramel sauce didn't mix with the pudding at all how amazing yeah they look perfect yay except except what they have some pores yeah see these little spots here on the surface oh i've seen this before with savory custard and sometimes it can actually end up affecting the dessert's flavor isn't there anything we can do to prevent it from happening it's an easy fix adjust the heat when it's steaming and keep a close eye on them too funny you'd think pudding would be easier to make but the process is actually a lot more complicated than i ever imagined poorest texture aside it's extremely tasty not bad at all thank you so much monica keep up the great work for kaichiro's sake he simply adores pudding okay poor guy looks like he's really stressed from work lately but i wonder why you're his boss isn't that reason enough i won't give up until it's perfect i'll make him so happy all his stress will melt away get it girl miss miako invited us all to a tea party yes next sunday i believe well i think i'm available miako has been working really hard to improve her cooking and baking it's getting to where she barely even needs my help anymore is that a fact i'm happy to hear it i wonder though miss miako seems awfully focused on cooking lately does she want to become a chef or something seriously well i suspect she dreams of getting married to someone special oh she's playing house then come on it's so obvious my dear cage now it's not like she hides her feelings well maybe he knows and is pretending that he doesn't [Music] huh isn't this k cheeto's planner it's not like him to leave his stuff around [Music] [Music] there was a picture of a girl in his planner well maybe he has a girlfriend or he's like crushing on her i have no idea the picture looks like it can be kind of old and the girl seems really young like maybe she's still in junior high doesn't that just mean they go way back or whatever what should i do this could ruin everything oh it looks amazing thank you i've tried really hard to perfect the recipe it took a few attempts but i finally got it should i tell me i'll go about the picture i found but then again it's not like hey channels ever mentioned it right so i should probably mind my own business and it really isn't my business it's his business except miata's been working hard so maybe it's her business this is way too quick see i [Applause] do you want to try any of it oh yes of course i do wow the texture is perfect great job yay i'm so happy you think so all right then i'm leaving see you tomorrow yep have a good night get home safe you okay you seem kind of preoccupied you don't have to share well it's kind of like a secret okay hmm the thing is okay ichido do you have a girlfriend what oh everything okay yes just well why are you suddenly interested come on please i'm curious what's the love scoop sorry no girlfriend hmm well who's the cutie in the picture then way to go captain obvious picture yes i get it now you mean the photo in my planner if you want to hear you could just come inside okay [Music] sorry i looked at your stuff without permission but i wasn't being nosy it just kind of fell out when i picked it up really it's quite all right if anything it's just as much my fault for leaving it out so which picture did you mean what how many do you have hey the other girl in this photo huh you mean the one with miss chio my mom yes as i'm sure you've been told you look like her but what about this girl the one next to her who is she were they friends or something i want to see it is a picture of chio right give me give me why how could you that's not a girl that's mastermonica isn't he beautiful what [Music] well you see back when we were all much younger miss chio managed to convince master monica to play dress-up with her one afternoon the only problem was he made a pretty convincing girl and since he didn't put up much of a fight your mother got a little carried away he didn't even draw the line at a pig why on earth are you carrying these around let's just say that sometimes a little black male could be the perfect motivator i loathe you right now but since the cat is out of the bag this trump card is useless now oops sorry about that it's no problem i still have plenty more trump cards you have more when did you become so evil such cruel words wait a second what's this one ah that picture it's master monica and miss [Music] miako that day was the first time i ever used a camera on my own and i took this picture so it's special now i get it all right oh wow we were both so little i know do you remember it no well you were just a baby i have a great idea let's commemorate the occasion with a new photo would you do the honors why do you want me to take it because you're much better at this than i am can you please move in a little closer oh sure want to know something the picture you had earlier was the first one kate cheeto ever took he always carries it with him that's pretty cool huh are you ready yes big smiles cinderfella more tea please yeah yeah [Music] it's hard to believe how much you've grown yes i know but i'm already 16. i'll be grown up before you know it how very true time does fly that's such a deadline geez is he really that dense to be fair he has known her since she was very young even so girls can surprise you they go and bloom into beautiful flowers in the blink of an eye and then he might see things a little differently when that day does come i'm going to give him such a hard time because i knew it all along yeah that'll be fun to see hey where did you get those horrid things oh but why so i might use them to deter evil what are you talking about me how can you be so mean to your favorite uncle [Music] i hate taking out the trash it's a nice day but we gotta clean up sandwich wrappers and crumble notes i want to get this over with so we can play before sunset but it's so much fun to tidy up the classroom i love wiping the dirt off the floor and washing all the windows oh and cleaning off the desks it's so relaxing i just got there just a few more things to do and we'll have enough time for dodgeball you mean the field's open this time a spray how are you feeling chihiro it's not that big of a deal it hurts a little bit but i think i can walk you should take it easy if you don't stay off of your feet you may enter your ankle permanently fortunately it's the weekend so you'll have more than enough time to recover i can't who's gonna come jenna there's no need to worry while we wait for your footsie to heal i'll take care of it all you're not qualified to maintain a functioning home you're so cruel when one wants to begin recovery on a sprained ankle the most important thing to remember is to add rice rest with an r icing is our eye compression vc and elevation the e rice therapy is one of the best ways to treat a soft tissue injury icing should be done in approximately 20 minutes i'm sorry to interrupt it's just how can i focus on relaxing when that genius thinks it's a good idea to mop the floor before sweeping i suggest we ignore him until he exhausts himself he's way too hyper that could take hours what have i done it's time for dinner [Music] i'm not trying to nitpick you but why so many sweets well it's funny i decided to make dinner for us tonight but when i started thinking about it i realized dessert recipes are all i know why didn't you just come to me for advice then what'd you do to my kitchen nothing much with the flower it's a winter wonderland i should have known that settles it starting tomorrow i'm taking over all the cooking again it's not that serious of an injury anyway oh no you don't it's important that you take the time you need to heal now so it won't come back to bite you later the house will be a wreck before the weekend is over and we're gonna die because you can't cook real food i've got it all under control i didn't tell you about the ace of my sleeves how are you a sprained ankle's no joke thank you for coming but i'm feeling okay this is the perfect time to test the skills she's learned master's shift in the house amazing thank you i have to say i feel really guilty about not being able to help there's no need for that i consider you a friend and we all need a helping hand sometimes i'll do everything i can to make things easier for you between the two of us i'm sure we can handle whatever needs doing just leave it to us oh come on you have to have more faith in me than that today we'll be serving you rest well all right miako just let me know what you need me to do you got it sounds like a plan wait a minute the kitchen hasn't been done oh i was just doing a little bathing i gotta get better soon [Music] uh they're cleaning the kitchen oh hi there we're just finishing up would you like a drink or something we have snacks too no i don't need anything we'll start making lunch soon all right okay they're fine [Music] miyako's gotten a lot better at this hasn't she it's good thanks give yourself a pat on the back because i learned it all from you delicious shahido do you have any idea what you'd like for dinner i don't know whatever you think you and monica have a lot in common japanese food is one of the house favorites yeah sounds good japanese food thank you so much for cooking honestly it's my pleasure hey are you completely sure you won't need any help tonight i am i want to do this so relax and enjoy being waited on i'm really glad i'll keep being a right-hand man if i had my way you wouldn't be allowed to step foot in that kitchen at all i'm trying my [Music] this is so best man [Music] i've read all the magazines and homework was a cinch i would polish the kitchen sink but those two already beat me to it they've really taken care of everything i guess they don't need my help i feel like i'm taking advantage of them but they're insisting that i stay away it's not like monica cares if things are messy he's probably just helping out to shut me up they're being nice but i feel so useless right now i don't know it's lonely not being needed [Music] huh a fire are you okay in here how long are you supposed to cook fish i got so excited about making japanese food for you tonight i realized halfway through the process my repertoire only consists of western dishes i thought frying fish would be a simple process but it was a horrible experience i'll clean this up as fast as i can i'm going to dig through every recipe in here till we find one that works for tonight [Music] do you have any idea what you'd like for dinner i guess japanese food that was so nice they were trying as hard as they could to make me happy not because they don't need me but because they care about me i'm hungry for some stew and dessert miyako your cooking is delicious monica no one can make sweets like you when i feel better i'll teach you both a few japanese recipes okay that's great what kind of dessert are you thinking cake maybe first things first like what gee clean this mess it's got a point though let's enjoy the food [Music] thank you all right i'm off have a wonderful day careful crossing the street hmm good morning how are you feeling yeah how's that foot of yours good as new that's a relief [Music] what are we hanging around here for let's go oh right [Music] now you take care of yourself monica i don't mean to nag but as your big sister i gotta look out for you call anytime day or night if you get lonely okay you don't have to worry thanks i'm sorry i have to leave you'll be all alone you think you'll be okay without me [Music] you are so cute when you wear everything serious i'll miss you but i'll be fine i'm a strong girl i want you to study hard and have fun while you're away enjoy the new adventure and one more thing someday i may reach out to you for help that dream coming hey what's up we rented a movie and wondered if we could all watch it over here and maybe on that huge tv we already messaged madoka to ask permission and he said it was okay come right over yay so how does that sound to you what why do you have his phone number are you friends or something thanks for having us over welcome everyone why don't we get the ball rolling check it out what the heck don't tell us you're scared it's like an awesome bee movie to me it'll be great let's close the curtains kill the lights and watch in the dark [Applause] [Music] of some lame horror movie okay just thought i'd check [Music] who's there a cheap effect but it works not scared of this i'm not scared i'm not scared don't watch it g there's nothing wrong with being afraid okay how many times i have to tell you i'm fine why did you come to me you could save me [Applause] i'll do anything you want just let me live you're absolutely right know what when i think about it that movie wasn't even all that scary there's no scientific evidence for ghosts yep i'll need proof before i believe anything like that oh right so what you're saying is you don't need me to keep you company tonight hurry up and lie down you got it now that i think about it sis didn't like scary movies either despite that she was always willing to watch every time i asked wonder why why would you even ask you to watch in the first place if you knew she didn't like them that was a little bit cruel don't you think wait a sec what is it do you hear that huh did i hear what it sounds like someone might be crying there's something outside i'll check it out you can't walk out there you idiot whatever it is might get you done just try to sleep you dummy there's something out there though listen you're hearing things forget it turn off the lights [Music] help me [Music] you most just a bad dream last night i had a dream a nightmare this creepy girl covered and blood was chasing me that sounds like what we just watched now that you mention it wasn't there a movie a while ago about a cursed video whoever watches it gets haunted by the witch inside yeah i remember hearing about that now this is the end she's gotta chase me forever hey what's up with you comia you have a scary dream too no i got nothing yeah right it sounds like someone might be crying my imagination is playing tricks on me that's all okay so who cares monica had to leave the house for business i don't need him i'm not scared to be by myself typical at the one time it'd be kind of nice to have him here he's nowhere to be found [Music] no this is the end she's gonna chase me forever there are no such things as ghosts ghosts aren't real there are no such things [Music] face me like the monster you are i'm not scared of a stupid witch who relies on vhs i'm gonna be brave and check out this noise once and for all ghost or not they need to get out of my house i have to show them who the boss is around here [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] she what happened to you it was a cat sure but why are you creeping around like that didn't mean to i got home and realized i'd forgotten my key to the front door i'll buy it i guess i'll just ignore the weird hat take a look our neighborhood ghost was this sweet kitten wandering around all alone can you believe we thought this bundle with the light was a threat to our safety what's scary is how much i love him i thought you were allergic to cats give it to me just one cuddle [Music] we get a lot of strays people must know i take them in so they drop the cats off here knowing i'll rescue them keto has always managed to find homes that will adopt them though he loses patience with me can't save every stray cat that's true but it needed me huh if you know someone who needs a little help don't you want to do all that you can what about me was that your reason for taking me in i was happy to be able to help you i made a promise to my sister once someday i may reach out to you for help you and i should be there for each other [Music] promise i promised and i meant it with all my heart but she never asked for me i couldn't wait to take you in so just remember and i mean this if there's ever a time you need my help i'll always come running no matter what i'll be fine [Music] even though we're separated now the promise we made will always remain [Music] you chose to sacrifice so many things to keep him safe i'll protect him now i hope you know that sweet sister [Music] don't you want to do all that you can everything's going to be all right you don't need to be afraid anymore monica will always be there to protect you [Music] what am i saying really [Music] i'm so glad see it's all okay need to worry things always work out for the best [Music] once again you are not allowed to bring stray animals into this house you're so careless for them and you know it i'm glad he found you you're a lucky little thing [Music] hmm is that like a tongue twister i guess he always acts strange around deadlines oh okay so who's the client this time i don't know but i think it must be for a guy or something because there are a lot fewer fills than usual he sure likes frills [Music] hello stranger danger [Music] yeah i'm looking for a man named what no way what look you're my hero thank you so much can you please put me down who the heck are you oh sorry about that you're a yugi from the ucho 10 boys am i right what is it really that obvious i thought my disguise was perfect [Music] see and they're constantly on tv and stuff too oh i don't really watch much television ioto is the lead singer and there's ibuki and he's ryuji that's me cool i have this game too i just beat the boss on the third level yeah was it hard i'm confused i knew that master monica was designing the band's new stage costumes but why would ryuji need to come here it's unusual for a client to just show up at my house i thought you knew him personally or something i only know him through work go see what he wants chi why me i don't like talking to strangers huh that looks amazing it's for me yeah didn't you say you were starving you're a saint a lifesaver and my new best friend but i'm his best friend so what's up with that outfit are you like a cars cosplayer no i am not are you sure yes look this happens to be my work uniform monica's the one who made it oh no kidding he really made that how cool oh wow monica's one of the most popular designers in the country you know but he's famous for not taking on a lot of jobs it's rare honestly though i totally thought he'd be some stuffy old guy i wasn't thrilled about meeting him until ah he turned out to be so awesome he's all sophisticated and stuff he's like the coolest adult ever monica an adult wait that reminds me i didn't come here for food delicious listen i really gotta speak to madoka yeah about what well i need to tell him that i hate my shorts ugh that's right all the costumes we wear during our performances make me look like a little kid i came to ask you to change things up a bit no more shorts i'm going on a fair life strike you don't understand my pain even when i land a great pose the girls feel so cute i just want to be cool like the other guys you're right i don't understand your pain i can't sorry no way why can't you change it because they already approved the design the most i can do is play around with the smaller details but i can't make any major changes that's the way it is i won't go home until you fix it i'm afraid there's nothing i can do look i don't care i refuse to wear any more stupid shorts i'll never perform in that he hasn't even tried it on yet thought he was the kind of guy who would listen to me why on earth would you think something like that i'm sure just because of that people always treat me like a little boy whenever i meet someone new they pat me on the head how insulting is that i'm 16 i'm practically a man already throwing a tantrum probably doesn't help your image but not madoka he treated me like an adult he's different and maybe that's why i thought he could help he gets me yeah i hate to interrupt this daydream but i think the only thing madoka gets is a love for frills exhibit [Music] he tricks me oh yeah how exactly did he trick you you're the one jumping to conclusions here the boy in a bait outfit wouldn't understand why do you actually wear those stupid clothes anyway you look like a girl how dare you these clothes happen to be very practical not only are they easy to work and they're also machine washable whatever there's no way you're not embarrassed by that ridiculous outfit bet you wouldn't even wear it outside i'm not embarrassed just watch i'm going to the start you know for a guy claiming to be an adult you act super childish you don't like being made fun of but that's exactly what you just did he was really embarrassed the first time we saw him in those clothes well i'm out of here a boy in a bait outfit wouldn't understand you look like a girl he's right i can't believe i really said the things i would hate to hear [Music] i need to apologize to him hey i'm back um i'm sorry for what i said well i got some awesome deals yeah it was like this whoa cuteness overload on aisle four wow that outfit makes the cut this one's on the house okay holy cow you're adorable i'll give you a free fish everyone kept saying i was cute and giving me free stuff maybe i should shop in my uniform more often don't be afraid what the heck i said such horrible things and yet he didn't let any of that stop him from doing what he wanted he's the cool one what exactly is going on here it's unusual to see chihiro out shopping while still in his uniform typically he changes first well wait chihiro is your nephew no way yes i took him in when his mother passed away but he's very independent so instead of living here for free he became my head housekeeper the kitchen is my domain okay who did you think he was like your secret love child really there's no reason i'd ever keep him a secret he's such a good kid i wouldn't be ashamed to bring him anywhere freaky like he's a doting father or something here would you mind trying this on for me sure okay [Music] more shorts i think it suits you huh the shorts i mean is it because i look like a kid because you have nice legs no i'm serious they're very lean and muscular and they don't make you look childish at all i won't budge on the design it's my job to make you look good i'm a professional and you are too you have to show people what they want to see that's your job tell me does your job embarrass you [Music] you're leaving but i just started on dinner yes sorry but i left without saying anything so everyone's probably worried it's okay but how are you gonna get home didn't you like lose your wallet and phone oh my gosh that's right what am i gonna do [Music] hi can i help you with something huh there you are oh are you also from the ucha10 boys i'm hayato i hope he usually hasn't caused you any trouble but how do you even know where to find me seriously we found takatari's business card right next to the note you left at the agency ah so obvious look ibuki is making up an excuse for you but we should probably head back do you think ibook is mad at me let's see well i don't always love acting like prince you know but sometimes you have to suck it up is what he said he's going to kill me [Music] i'm very sorry but i appreciate you taking care of him thank you he's really shiny what about we're from the same band i could be super shiny if i wanted to be come on let's go okay fine hey listen let's hang out again sometime yeah sure whatever okay and i am gonna wear monica's costume so be sure to watch us on tv sure i will wow we usually from the uchenten boys was here that's so neat i see them all the time on tv they're doing a live tv special soon and ryuji asked me to watch i think it's the tuesday after next the tuesday after next it falls on the same day as his birthday okay so we should do something special i've got the perfect idea we could have a big birthday bash at the house that's it if you want you could come over one day next week and we could plan the surprise party together so this birthday party who is it for huh [Music] oh yes i suppose it is just right around the corner master monica's birthday i mean hold on are you saying you already knew about it yes of course i did well how come no one told me master monica doesn't typically announce when his birthday is coming up oh really so how does he usually celebrate honestly we don't really do much for it we just give him presents oh he's never shown any interest in having a party before okay but i think if you were planning something special he'd love it i'm just throwing that out there oh yeah that's good to know any idea what kind of present i should get him i imagine he would love anything you could give him an empty tissue box and he'd be happy tangles are the best wow thank you [Music] a vacuum oh no way lightweight and energy efficient wait this is something i want focus jihido i'm seriously drawing a blank here this is where miyako actually lives [Music] hello there sorry if i kept you waiting hi it's no problem hey antono you're looking cuter than ever well then if you'll just follow me please oh is this where you lift me uncle this is more my speed [Music] the main building has a much larger kitchen but this is my personal one to use whenever i like father had it built for me as a birthday present last year it's nice wow he gave her an entire house anyway let's go ahead and get started um yeah i think this will be enough and we can make chirashi sushi oh look here's a recipe for roast chicken but it might be difficult to make it our house has a huge oven if we work together i think we can do it yay i'm so glad you're here to help chihido because there's no way i could have made this much food all on my own with you here we can actually have a proper party this year what do you mean monika has always accepted the gifts i gave him but not once have we ever thrown him a party actually what's up so what kind of present do you usually give him every year i always make him a homemade cake from scratch when i was little monica taught me how to bake one so it became our tradition for me to make him one for his birthday every year that's sweet this year i'm going to try my hand at making one of those multi-tiered cakes what about you have you decided on a gift yet not exactly to be honest i don't really know what to get him he's a simple man i think he would probably be happy to get any gift from you at all yeah said that too still he's given me so much a place to live in my own room [Music] i just really want to return the favor then maybe you could just tell him how you're feeling i think that would be the best present of all really looks like antono wants us to take a break i'll make us some tea in the meantime do you think you could play outside with ontario for a little bit there's a gazebo in the back garden you can go there okay then hey cheeto i'm sure whatever present you end up getting him will be amazing he'll be fine yeah oh why did i tell him all that embarrassing stuff worst of all i still don't know what kind of present to buy get out of here you're devilish monster go on get it oh are you there really save me i beg of you i didn't realize you were a friend of miyakos yes ma'am for a minute i thought you were one of the maids please forgive me who is this woman could she be miako's mother i came out here because i wanted to get a few roses but kayako went back in to get some scissors and hasn't returned yet ah kayako is actually the lady of this house not her mom maybe she's just a visitor so uh are roses in bloom right now indeed they are wow but these aren't roses are they they're not they're our yuki flowers their name means a light snowfall i find their simplicity to be very charming oh that's it i could totally give him flowers oh are these for me thank you oh are these for me thank you never mind knowing him he'd probably just let them die so you're looking for a birthday present ooh is it for your girlfriend i know ma'am it's for an annoying old man oh my i want to find him a good gift but i'm really struggling i'm so sorry this is my problem i really shouldn't be bothering you tell me dear what's your name oh i'm shihiro komiya well then here's my advice does the present necessarily have to be a physical object we get too wrapped up in the physical things but the point of a birthday is to celebrate someone's birth yeah i guess that's true if you're this worried about it you must truly care for him a lot so try to remember what he likes and what sorts of things make him happy i'm sure you'll find you already know what he wants the answer is there you just haven't looked hard enough yet do i know what makes him happy think hard oh goodness that nearly scared me to death ah sorry about that i swear if miyako had to have a pet i wish she had gotten a cat instead a cat i know thank you for everything [Music] oh and happy birthday birthday you did all this just for me really we wanted to throw you a little party wow it's amazing i mean it listen since it's your birthday i won't get mad at you today no matter what you do that's my gift have at it thanks a lot chi o chihiro turn on the tv yeah and we are live hello there maruka i hope your birthday really rocks thank you for making our costumes they're amazing this song is just for you when i told them about the party they wanted it on the fun and now performing live give it up for the ucho10 boys [Music] oh okay who's ready for cake isn't it lovely i made a really big one it's perfect [Music] oh i never knew birthday parties were so a meowzing maybe i'll start celebrating my birthday on a daily basis then you'd grow old at an alarming rate talk about worth it and look she doesn't get mad at me either i'm so happy don't get angry just keep it together a little longer three more hours oh wait are you saving it all up for tomorrow does that mean you're like a time bomb of fitness i knew all this was too good to be true why can't you be nice to me every day [Music] anyway [Music] i'm sorry to interrupt but would you mind bringing the tea sure [Music] oh are you doing homework in that case i'll serve the team it's no big deal i just finished up how does the song sound great this counter isn't exactly an ideal place to do homework no but i usually don't bring any home because i finish it at school during breaks which leaves plenty of time to clean up here is that a fact so it bothers you that he won't study at home he'd rather work hard at school so he can start cleaning as soon as possible he should be a good student first and a made second the very least we could do is give him a desk for his room under normal circumstances i would agree with you but [Music] what can i say when his grades are so high oh he's excelling in every subject like some kind of prodigy there's no denying he's an excellent student do you think he might act like too much of an adult i can't stand the thought of him sweeping the floors while his childhood passes by loves this so much i couldn't take it away [Music] 100 uh i lost i felt pretty good about my answers this time [Music] i don't get it explain to me how you guys can get such good scores without studying i study in the classroom you're kidding me all right class please quiet down [Music] next week we're hosting our yearly open house i hope you'll all remember to pass this note on to your parent or guardian that means you comey me a little bird told me that your note didn't make it home last year let's not have a repeat of that pay attention here's your homework get your gears turning and write an essay to read aloud at the open house your topic is [Music] our future dreams i expect you to write about what job you'd like to have when you're older including your reasons for picking that job so what's my dream essays are like the worst thing on the planet yeah to be honest i feel the topic is a little too complicated really i figured you'd be good at writing essays well it's just that i have no idea what i want to be when i grow up it's not like you've never thought about it there's gonna be something you'd like to be i did have this idea once can you tell us what you'd like to be when you're all grown up to hero you like books so maybe you'll be a teacher no i want to be rich well you can't really fault the kid for having goals try to think big you could be a soccer player a prime minister or even a voice actor the greatest anime of all time could we try to be realistic here i think you should pick a job that fits your personality that would be a good place to start dream for the future that will fit my personality [Music] see ya see you tomorrow later so what have you decided about what the open house next week are you gonna tell monica about it i haven't figured it out to be honest he's pretty busy most of the time plus he doesn't like crowds all that much he might not like it i mean it's not like he's my parent or anything oh comey uh i just remembered that i still have to go grocery shopping see ya hey will you wait a minute he's gonna have some kind of breakdown one day there's an open house soon nachihiro school yes got a text from hino just wanted to let you know that next monday we're having an open house we all have to present essays about our future dreams kamiya seemed a bit nervous about telling you so you should probably go ahead and ask him about it he says it's this coming monday that should be fine you don't have anything scheduled i wonder if he even wants me to go i can't force him maybe he doesn't want me to know what's happening there should be no harm in asking him honestly i don't know if my heart could stand it if he doesn't want me to be there yeah what's your problem keiichiro nothing it's almost time for me to head home for the evening if you could do one thing please act like a sane adult around him i have feelings you know [Music] i wanted uh go ahead i wanted to ask how school went today i made it 100 on the social studies test that's great to hear anything else well not really my day was dull nothing to report [Music] just give it up already monica really doesn't like going outside and it isn't exactly a matter of life and death whether it comes to the open house or not it'll be a living position with three meals a day plus snacks and cover school fees sound good what do you think i guess i still feel kind of guilty about how much he's already done for me i don't want him to feel pressured to do anything he doesn't want to do hey chi oh yeah what's up just got out the bath's free if you wanted sure i'll do that now chihido what's this seems there's an open house i'm invited to it's nothing much do you really think you can hide something like this from your [Music] why didn't you want me to know about it i'm sorry i thought you were too busy i can always take time off work for important events like this please don't keep things from me sweetheart i'll always do my best to be there for you there's no need to hide things did you really think i wouldn't consider the idea [Music] hey there what about your bath this is for you we're having an open house next week it's not that big of a deal if you can't come they're gonna be a lot of people so yeah anyway i promise i'm not gonna be upset if you aren't able to go to this thing but would you like to monica [Music] i'll definitely go you sure you're not too busy with work work's no problem i'll have cajito take care of everything making him do it all now that all this is cleared up i think i'm going to make a new suit what kind of look do i want for this is violet a bright enough color to wear i wonder maybe someone made this there's no reason to do anything like that i want you to be proud to have me at the open house i'm more than willing to go the extra mile just dress like you normally would but this is a special occasion i'll have to take the entire silhouette into consideration i guess i didn't have a reason to be nervous too much i'm glad i told him honestly i'm just thrilled you invited me you have to present an essay isn't that right so have you managed to figure out your future dream yet how do you know about the essay no never mentioned anything about us presenting our essay so you better tell me right now how you found out about it didn't you tell me i forget dia sure it wasn't in the note stop goofing around and confess what do you want to be when you grow up anything you come up with should work it's not that big of a deal that's easy to say when you're not the one presenting it i wanted to grow up to be francis xavier what the missionary xavier i figured he was some fashion please cooper with that that the thrills were all you cared about then one day caichiro brought me information about joining mission schools do you know which seminary you'd like to attend [Music] i might have been a priest it's sort of crazy to think about now i can't see that happening let's brainstorm a little can you think of anything you'd like to achieve that's a good place to start well i think being able to clean up after you is an achievement but i've been working hard to keep my stuff organized filing all the junk you don't want to deal with in one box isn't organizing i don't mean picking up after us when you were little what was something you wanted more than anything else remember when i was little after they were reunited the princess lived happily ever after with the king and queen from then on there was joined celebration throughout the land no one was ever sad again i liked the idea of being rich hey chi i thought money could solve it all i wanted to be wealthy so mom wouldn't have to work as hard but that probably isn't something i should put in my essay how rich how rich what kind of wealth are we talking here you mean like mogul type money maybe is that a lie running a conglomerate takes a special type of person but you're extremely responsible and organized so you would be perfect you don't think that's an immature goal not at all i don't believe that you should ever be embarrassed about wanting to make life easier for your family plus it's a lot of fun earning money are you serious i remember when i was first paid for my work even though it wasn't a lot it was still very satisfying hooray [Music] we just need to figure out what kind of business you'd like to start i think the best idea is to stick to something you're good at okay like what hey i'm cleaning then i should be a housekeeper there's no denying you're good enough to get paid for doing chores but let's think more along the lines of making a business out of it [Music] i could oversee a team of window washers or maybe be a server at some fancy inn what about running your own hotel hotel tycoons are some of the richest people around always so you can clean as much as you want i can clean as much as i want i think me living in a penthouse on the top floor is another great idea hold on live in a hotel my essay paper isn't a sketchbook you know reservation for one stop drawing i can make all of the employee uniforms coordinate with yours we could start designing now would you get your own paper to write on here do you like it seriously you'd be unstoppable if you were this fast on your own projects there's also the matter of deciding what food to offer so much to choose from might i suggest an international gourmet menu weird i never talked to anyone about this stuff it's fun i guess i never let myself think about my future i could do anything oh check it out what about something like this yeah great idea i can't believe so many people showed up on a monday afternoon it's a little weird how excited they are to see where their kids are stuck learning every day i figured your family would have come today you know no one in my family can really take off work so this is your classroom what the heck are all you guys doing here are you kidding me we wouldn't want to miss this we were all so excited to come to your open house an event like this has got to be a family affair yeah we had to check in to make sure you weren't causing too much trouble for the teacher how would we be if we didn't come support our brother i understand mom dad and grandpa but why aren't coaching yoko at college what's your excuse we took a sick day you shouldn't be skipping class this whole family is here i can't believe everybody came just to watch your presentation almost there are two missing my older sister mia is in high school right now my little sister hanukkah was in kindergarten wow there are so many monica isn't here i wonder if he ended up working after all or maybe he got a stomachache before he even left the house what if he ended up taking a wrong turn somewhere yeah dead end i didn't see this on the map action no i'm probably just overreacting here we are i think this is chihiro's [Music] room hi chihiro it looks nice who's dad is that well we just said shihito so that's konya's dad or maybe his older brother he's the handsomest guy ever glad he's here but he seems so out of place i didn't know you were coming sorry i didn't ask first he seemed confident on the drive over and i thought it might be best if i came in with him hopeless he's going to embarrass himself hi there i'm a fan uh would it be all right if i took a few pictures with you guys could you be any more embarrassing [Music] my future dream after high school and college i want to be a homemaker recently women have taken on essential roles in leadership responsibilities outside of the home however i believe that managing a household can be a very rewarding job as well i wonder if monica's feeling okay she's looking kind of pale [Music] truthfully compared to all the other kids parents it really doesn't fit in all that well but i'm so glad he came great thank you for sharing nomuda all right now who's next comia will you read your essay sure my future dream written by chihiro comia at first i wasn't sure what i wanted to be when i grew up so i got a little help i decided that i'd like to be a hotel tycoon because it would let me do a lot of things i'm good at organization for instance comes easily to me i also like to keep things clean okay then are you allowed to go home yep great then let's head to the call come here yes ma'am your essay was great very impressive i must admit a hotel tycoon wasn't what i expected yeah i was a little surprised myself it's nice to meet you i'm chihiro's teacher miss sakamoto it's a real pleasure i was wondering if you could possibly spare a moment of your time i wanted to speak to you about some of the recent changes that have happened for chihiro i'm sure it's been hard at times but what can you tell me about your home life right now you want us to tell you what we're like at home if you take it out put it away well i'll just be going then what do you want with me don't leave we need you you know i can't depend on monica to make us look normal in front of my teacher i suppose you wouldn't need me for very long right right just a teeny bit of time it'll be over before you know it it'll be easy okay no i'm not speaking for you you've taken on the responsibility of being his guardian participating in meetings makes you look capable mm-hmm and his monaco's guardian it's your obligation to make sure he doesn't say something stupid believe me i've been trying to do that for years though i appreciate the offer i must politely decline good luck so will the two of you please come this way all right then mr takatori if you don't mind can you tell me how chihiro spends his time at home of course i don't mind don't say too much is it too much don't say too much he stays busy too much what do you mean by that does he help with the housework at all for example yes he's a huge help and not only that he does all of the cook yes was there something you needed you shouldn't tell her that stuff what's the matter with telling her the truth be quiet excuse me well i spend a lot of time reading i love to learn someone's pants are on fire do you eat meals together yes chihiro always makes the best fruit will you be quiet i'm supposed to answer yeah but you're making us look like we're all messed up we've never rehearsed this so how would i know what you want me to say you know how to talk so just say the stuff ruin it you realize how much sense that doesn't make don't tell her that i clean and cook so much i mean i enjoy it but that makes us look super weird oh maybe you should take the leaves you're supposed to be the indulgence [Music] i don't have to worry i can't believe you you have no idea how much trouble you could have gotten us into i was honest you're a huge help around here why is that bad people might get the wrong idea if they hear that an elementary schooler is taking care of the housework and cooking all of your meals for you but you really are doing all that 10. you're totally missing the point before you hit me chihiro your essay touched my heart you did a wonderful job i had no idea that you were interested in business administration what's with all the books a beginner's guide to management strategy guide to acquiring an mba management basics and applications stock portfolios made easy i've got a lot more of you need them since it's your goal to be a proprietor it may be in your best interest to start working on your degree but before that have you considered signing up for a study please calm down hey do i read all of these no matter what dream you decide to chase i'm certain you'll have to work hard to make it come true but you'll be fine do you believe that or are you just being polite both i have faith in you if you want proof i've recently put an early investment in your bedroom what is it oh you'll see [Music] wait a second now that i think about it who was that man in the glasses but how did you know i wanted it well uh i think it was santa you know wow he's so amazing wow sounds like chihiro is enjoying his christmas present from snatcher yes i suppose most young boys would ask for video games or something similar [Music] so imagine my surprise when i found all that stuff marked in the catalog by his bed yes his interests are certainly different from most boys they are less fun [Music] hey come play video games i'm so sorry but i can't i'm busy deep cleaning the house santa claus created some kind of monster yeah a cleaning monster [Music] comey is too busy he's doing housework what seriously i can't believe he's working today man this sucks i wanted to play my new game together this house is huge cleaning that beast is gonna take a while more like forever hey he could play when he's done cleaning right you wanna help yeah it's a lot of work to do all by yourself for sure and teamwork makes the dream work come on let's finish up together after that it's game time okay is hino coming too he had to run home for something but he should be here soon that's cool well better put these on you've got to wear an apron otherwise you could get dirt all over yourself you know thanks but girls make me itchy that's ridiculous i don't want you to ruin your clothes but it can ruin our dignity it's okay who needs a little thing like dignity when you have the enlightenment that only a clean house could provide uh we do sorry i'm late [Music] shut your face if you laugh i'll kill you so violent i would never ever do such a mean thing whatever you have to wear one too oh do i good thing i brought one from home huh too bad it doesn't have frills no fair right let's do this thing where do you want us to start well mind dusting count us in we'll both help out as well absolutely leave the heavy lifting to us wow really yep well then organize junk mountain or i toss it [Music] they left me alone [Music] putting power at him for a second you have to dust off the top before you move it oh good to know you have to let the solution soak first and then scrub it uh right let's get to that hey this isn't art time you have to clean the windows from the corners to the middle when it's halfway dry then you can wipe it with the cloth oh you're so bossy we're never gonna finish are we yeah it's a lot more work than i thought i am so over this i'm calling for backup like who [Music] merry christmas hi miako can i help you i got a text from hino he said you might need my help cleaning today did he know hey you're here hello there sorry i'm late oh my what is that you're wearing oh there's so now you look many shut your face so what you sure you want to help us clean yep just leave it to me i was kijito's very first disciple but now the student becomes the teacher behold proper floor cleaning techniques don't forget to dilute that first that's right you might want to ring it out better okay you need to move backwards when wiping the floor oh yeah and wipe with the grain of the boards yes right it'll warp if it stays wet so try it immediately of course [Music] stay right there i'll go get some towels what was i thinking i'm the worst cleaning disciple ever ah don't be so hard on yourself how's it going we're good here we can handle this part so if you have something else to do go ahead huh right we've got this oh yes i was just a little rusty but now i'm ready for action and together we'll be unstoppable okay i'll leave it to you then thanks cool i'll get some clean water okay i'll keep drying the floor sounds like a good plan finally great job everything looks wonderful thanks a lot you guys sure tomorrow we can play my game right yup right after i do laundry and i still have to polish the silverware in the kitchen too you mean there's more no way hey where's monica hiding well once he finished with your task i said to organize his work room he's the only one really fit to clean in there the fact that it also kept him out of the way all day is just an added bonus how can't you know you're a genius he's not true yes he's a demon a demon i say thanks for all your hard work today i made these treats just for you did you ruin my kitchen this face is super scary hey now relax i cleaned up after myself this time he sure did there must be some kind of christmas miracle there see that's what you get for underestimating me when i put my mind to it i can do anything well you're truly an inspiration oh stop but not really [Music] going all the way i expected that to take a whole lot longer it was fun having everyone help out though more fun than doing it all by yourself yeah well now you have time for a proper rest huh usually we clean on new year's day but thanks to your eagerness we're a bit ahead of schedule school is out so why not take a vacation a vacation exactly we could go somewhere fun isn't that what school holidays are for i actually got the idea from hito why do you guys text so much it's weird you don't have to listen to him you know look don't force yourself i know you hate leaving this place i'm not forcing myself i want to go somewhere together pretty please okay but only because you're so desperate you mean excited check out all the snow okay are we there yet are we there yet shouldn't be long now a half hour at most i'm so happy we all get to ring in the new year together right and your family was really okay with you coming you know of course they were our house is crowded anyway i see hey you're awfully quiet back there chi are you okay i'm just worried now that i think about it what if i didn't lock up the trash cans seriously it's trash pretty sure it's safe that's what you think what if animals get inside it you worry like an old lady we're on vacation relax already it's so cavity yeah it looks so real maybe because it's a real cabin [Music] on one stove check out the attic and there's a kotatsu wow it's just like a real-life cabin i already said that this is pretty exciting i've never been here before either it's been a while for me too although chio and i came here a lot when we were younger it's been a while so we should probably clean it up then sorry but the caretaker already beat you to it right of course don't be sad chill out didn't we come here to have fun i bet you can't even make a snowball we'll see about that [Music] it really was a good idea to bring up a pond whoa i think it's frozen solid will it break don't worry it's safe it looks like the caretaker cleaned it off for us and there should be some ice skates here would you like to give it a try yes that sounds fine heck yeah let's do it uh what if i don't really know how to skate though well then it looks like i get to be the teacher today don't worry with my help you'll be a pro in no time at all okay i can't i seriously can't i think i might rename you bambi smile please come on try pushing with one of your legs i can't do it [Music] hey g you're looking good out there hey monica aren't you going to skate i uh you know as

[Music] wow cool [Music] foreign i dozed off [Music] oh what are you doing up g monica why are you out here waiting for the first sunrise would you like to watch it with me sure the horizon is already pretty bright the sun should be rising any minute now oh [Music] i can't recall the last time i was out here oh really i remember back when we were little sis and i would sneak out and watch it she'd wrap us up real tight then we'd sit and look at the sunrise together right here [Music] must tell every year we watched it together through the window of our apartments just the two of us [Music] and then when the sun finally appeared i'm counting on you this year [Music] whoever says it first is the winner right [Music] you too huh it was our little tradition though i was never really clear on what we won yeah same here want to come back next year we can watch the be our sunrise again yeah [Music] voila [Music] you look beautiful thank you so much don't look so proud of yourself monica turn towards me sure uh have you seen the table is all that food for new year's well i might have had our chef prepare us a little meal yeah my mom kind of made me bring this extra stuff from home i also prepared some food for today now i feel bad i ordered food i blame you you're usually so good at organizing things and there's even more i found some rice cake soup already made back in the kitchen it was the ninja butler [Music] what should we do brace yourselves because we're about to get fat right well then let's commemorate our pre-fatness everybody ready we should take another photo after for comparison or you know we can just skip that part all right everyone say cheese [Music] our young housekeeper is currently in elementary school despite the daily stresses he still works valiantly to keep things clean and orderly at the ducati household i'm counting on you you're not gonna help i'm the maid around here i'm trying hard just like my mother said in the letter she left for me her exact words were those who do not work shall not eat i think you're doing a great job well i think you should pull your weight around here [Music] it's spring already it seems like i ran into monica just the other day stop go home can you save me from this horrible beast where have i seen this before oh my sorry he runs off sometimes my goodness people should be more careful when they walk their pets that thing could have bitten someone yeah but he was pretty small beware of furry demons i guess people who hate dogs all act the same way oh dear looks like i've embarrassed myself in front of you again haven't i it's okay i think your name is chihiro right that's twice that you saved my life would it be all right if i treat you to a cup of tea as a thank you what there's really no need for that oh too bad but i suppose it's not hip to drink tea with an old woman sorry that's not what i meant i'm only joking it's just i'm supposed to go right home after school i know how about tomorrow i don't go to school tomorrow so tomorrow that sounds nice the dishes are clean but what do i do with this stuff i can't believe he made all of that he reached new levels of procrastination today [Music] coming hi what's wrong why are you crying it's my big brother i hate him huh seriously why would hannah run to your house all right don't let her leave okay i'm heading over right now how do i keep her from leaving go ahead i'm sure you're hungry after all that walking you did [Music] it's so good great help yourself way to go monica [Music] it's all my big brother's fault he invaded my privacy oh is that so i won't go home until he says he's sorry for what he did please don't tell anyone i'm hiding here okay [Music] where's hannah geez your timing is terrible huh you're the one who said she was here hold on a sec she's upset right now hannah i can't believe that you came all the way out here by yourself you weren't supposed to tell me wait hannah stop what's your problem i hate you i hate you i hate you [Music] are you in here hannah hello monica i'm coming in what's up hino's little sister is here have you seen her around i'll just have to keep looking sorry about that let me know if you see her okay he's gone now not with him i'm sure we'll find her soon enough yeah i'm sure we will are you okay what are the two of you even fighting about so this notebook belongs to hana she just left it lying around in the living room and so i got curious you read it without asking her [Music] hey hannah it's not like her gibberish makes any kind of sense i don't get why she's so mad about it didn't you used to get angry at your older sisters it's not the same they went out their way to be cruel i love my [Laughter] i'll do anything to keep hannah from turning out like the rest of our siblings but it looks like i'm going to be fighting a losing battle truthfully you're a lot more like your siblings than you think you are we should probably start looking for her again now oh [Music] asleep i think she wore herself out was she here the whole time [Music] when a saddened young lady comes to you with one tiny request will you hide me you don't have much of a choice you have to help as a gentleman yeah i wonder what her parents would say about that as soon as she found me i went ahead and told her family that we'd take care of her what or more specifically that you'd take care of her they seemed really excited about the break but why me i guess they really trust you would you like to sleep over hino no thanks it's fine here take this will you give it back to her for me please he said he would be back tomorrow okay do you want to go home no i do not i'm so glad you're awake would you like me to make you a dress yes please what kind would you like a frilly one for a princess we had so much fun i could probably sew dresses 24 7 with that young lady she's got style aren't there a few projects you should be finishing how strange you sound just like just great i really wanted to talk to her before she went to sleep tonight talk to her fujito i want to help them to stop fighting i don't think you should worry yourself people only bicker with those they love huh then why did you keep her for the night well to be honest she went to so much trouble running away i would feel bad sending her back for real she lives there well miyako ran away from home when she was about that [Music] i live so far away she had to come with a driver he resisted at first so she tried walking here on her own the man felt so guilty about it that he gave in brought her anyway but miaka was so cute and little i had to help and if i remember right sis would side with uncle altery why'd she do that she thought it would only be fair if both of them had someone to defend their point of view your father's come all this way to take you home are you ready to go now no i'm never going back super shocked poor hino did you see him he looked so disappointed walking home it reminded me of miyako's father when he went home that evening you shouldn't laugh i can't believe this you'd think a kid running away from home would be taken more seriously there what's wrong can't sleep are you okay wanna sleep in here this is a giant king's bed like a fairy tale glad you like it oh almost forgot here you go hino wanted me to give this back to you he's mad at me for not coming home hi he's pretty tough so i know he'll be fine really i mean aside from the crying i'm not crying you know what it was supposed to be a secret i promised taiyo i wouldn't show anybody our special journal my pinky sword yuji looked and ruined everything i don't think he meant to hurt you but i said i hated him what if he's mad at me forever he'll leave me here what that's ridiculous he would never leave you think so you bet don't worry tomorrow you guys are gonna make up for sure [Music] right [Music] look she's a magical girl looks so cute thanks to you uncle mommy if only you could get this enthusiastic when it comes to getting your actionable work done [Music] morning nice to see you hey hannah your brother's here why are you wearing that weird dress i figured she'd be over it by now i don't think she was let's go find her surprise it's a real magic wand if you ask me every magical girl needs one now you can make wishes come true really it's full of magic think hard what do you want more than anything the wand will help you make it a reality it will anything i don't hate you [Music] see you later oh i'm exhausted she wasn't that much work was she all you did was play with her she was really upset last night but still i'm sure you had no trouble cheering her up huh i think she really liked you there's a sort of gentleness about you that people seem to be drawn to you'd be a great nanny hey it's not my fault that you're so likable and then i have to search and very yummy wow pretty dress that's adorable meet you lots of pictures and uncle marty made this special joke everybody in the dog is going to stare at us the whole way home why is she torturing me you make a wish it can totally come true [Music] so kate you know you seem a little quiet today after all i said you didn't do anything yesterday i'm sorry i'll take care of everything it's just your problem [Music] for this both of us got distracted yesterday [Music] i'm coming i got some time off so i wanted to pay you guys a visit don't you remember me i'm eugene from the uchoten boys i'll aim my charm straight at your heart of course i remember who you are but why did you bring so much stuff oh i didn't know what i need for the sleepover what i guess nobody told you you know and i decided that your house would be the best place to play video games that's news to me she's doing a lot better now here you go oh i can feel your magic working on me magical hana saves the day rescue here at last will you guys keep it down please i'm busy rescue masks the good guy if you want to be him you got to be handsome and rich i quit hold up are you going out or something yeah you know we'll be here soon there are snacks for you in the kitchen but please don't try to use the stove while i'm gone don't open the door for any strangers okay and you'll need to take breaks every now and then what are you his mom or something okay i'm heading out right now but you can hang out here i'll be back soon okay i'm running late already see you guys later wait where is he going anyway let's go huh this will be more fun than a video game he's going on a date no way look at the signs he's heading to town even though some of his friends are at his house it's definitely a date trust me ibuki ditches me like this all the time it's ready to eat i'm actually going out with me doryco for dinner tonight sorry i had to eat all of that barbecue by myself oh i feel so sorry for you [Music] sorry i'm late were you waiting a while it's quite all right i don't mind i was enjoying the scenery why would he go on a date with an old lady who knows maybe she looks younger the closer you get are you serious no way she's like a hundred so thank you your advice about the birthday present really helped it ended up being the perfect gift my pleasure though i can see no reason for you to give me all the credit you obviously did a splendid job picking out his present i guess so but really i couldn't have done it without you i wanted to make sure to thank you whenever i saw you again you have such a kind soul i think we're officially stalkers no we're super spies but why what if chihiro is some kind of old lady kidnapper will you stop fooling around get down is there something wrong i'm fine those voices seem very familiar i have to admit it felt nice to be able to help you i haven't bought any gifts for a while now why is that don't you have any relatives to buy christmas or birthday gifts for i did but both my son and daughter left home several years ago and my husband isn't the type to get very excited about much of anything i wonder who she is she looks kind of familiar but maybe if i'm lucky i'll get to meet my grandson i hope so i would give him all kinds of gifts does he live really far away from you that's hard i suppose it's something like that it seems as though he's doing well though so that's a comfort to me it is a bit lonely from time to time i wanted to ask you would it be okay if i came to visit you every so often yes it would i'd enjoyed that but wouldn't it bore a young man like you to spend time listening to an old lady no i think i'd like it a lot well i never actually got the chance to meet my grandparents it's something i've always wanted to do i bet i'd love them one day you'll meet them they'll love you too well she was estranged from the family for a long while i suppose it's only natural she'd have considered herself alone in the world hard to believe such a young woman could die of heart failure she struggled day after day just to make eggs beat okay let's go hey why did you order that huge thing cause this super spy can't work on an empty stomach really you're gonna get us caught no being loud is gonna get you caught what are you two doing here i can't believe you blew her cover whatever why did i listen to you oh man chihiro was gonna be so mad at us does that mean we can't play games sorry my friends can be nosy sometimes i thought they were quite charming i'm sure they're waiting to spend time with you please feel free to go on ahead and play with them i'll take care of everything here all right i had such a wonderful time i'd love the opportunity to have tea with you again sure thank you for everything ma'am [Music] mom i made my choice i love you but i have to follow my heart right now i'm leaving with him forgive me geo your son is such a sweet boy i'm unsure if monica can raise him properly [Music] you actually hit your deadline i'll be glad to deliver it to the client now excuse me thanks a lot i'm starving to dad please tell me mates get a break for food no slacking off you only get to eat a nice big dinner once you earn it oh keep going if you'd stop that whining and work we'd already be done by now i have no idea what their crime was but can we forgive them just once no way they really do look alike i wonder could she be you over there pick up the pace so you went on a date no i didn't who is she i have to know all about her i said it wasn't a date but her name is i forgot to ask her name [Music] [Music] thanks for the nice meal um sure no problem off to work uh yes i am like normal [Music] he's never normal [Music] he couldn't be more suspicious if he actually tried [Music] you are so busted mister go call the police okay [Music] there we go you were some hungry little kitties weren't you well well do you know what you did wrong today do you yes of course you do because you've been in trouble for this before right so why would you keep repeating the same mistake i just thought you know if i wear this mask then i wouldn't sneeze and stuff i asked why you would keep repeating the same mistake monica i'm sorry his scolding power is over 9 000 that's all of them leave the rest to me thanks for coming here on your day off i appreciate it sure think there's a cat lovers meet up tomorrow so i'll find someone there to give these little fellas a loving home for cat lovers no fair i want to go i'll let you know how it turns out i thought if i wore this mask then everything would be okay well surprise you thought wrong were you planning on wearing that the whole time you were in here sure it was kind of a pain but i would have endured it for my kitty harem please don't call it that kitty hara makes you sound like a total weirdo it's not like it matters now anyway [Music] there's cat hair all over your bed that's just perfect i'm sorry what the heck they were in your drawers oh i used them as stairs for the fur babies we played hide and go see what is wrong with you don't answer that you've left me no choice scrub this whole room spotless knock yourself out i'm home would you like to check out the new guys does that feel better okay same now having a couple of really cute pictures of you guys will help me find everyone a good home that's not the cute factor i was looking for i see well that explains the sudden need for deep cleaning yes at least it's only my room though all of my clothes sheets and curtains were covered with cat hair she insisted that we had to wash everything everything oh my please don't get sick okay hey miako give me the box when you're finished with it hold up monika why are you out here wearing only a blanket it's indecent then hurry and give me my clothes back already go make some or whatever when it comes to weird stuff you can work fast right i don't feel like it making my own clothes is totally boring i don't care inside now when hanging up large sheets like this they tend to dry faster if you spread them out okay miyako i'm sorry to make you help like this no problem it's such a perfect day for hanging laundry anyway it would be a real waste to spend it inside all right we're finished yay i typically use the dryer but i just love the way laundry smells after it's dried in the fresh air you know yeah me too definitely gotta love that sun-kissed smell [Music] my kitty tunic don't be so proud you look like some cat-loving roman while we're on the subject how much of that fabric do you have i actually bought the entire bolt well seriously talk about excessive considering his huge love of cats it's probably not enough fabric oh i know they're so cute but my gas mask plan failed so all hope is lost oh you poor thing i wish we could help get over it why are you so mean to me wait a second i think i have the perfect solution to your problem you do yep just leave it to me [Music] hey what's with the blank stare don't get the wrong idea i didn't buy these you know miyaku gave them all to me oh so that's what was in the box that arrived earlier correct you know i do love cats but a man my age really shouldn't be playing with stuffed animals but they were a gift it would be rude not to i simply must play with them you see therefore i'm going to name them all this one's their fluffy bottom congratulations i guess i'm happy for you i can feel you judging me well if those toys keep him busy i really can't complain [Music] where are these stupid plushies in my bro cause i sleep in there sometimes it makes perfect sense no way excuse me i'd like this cabbage please sure thing kid [Music] hi hannah hello mrs hino how are you guys good to see you and thank you for the macarons you made us all for white day those were some delicious cookies did you really make them yourself yes wow that's impressive and thanks for my present too oh yeah speaking of homemade things memorial week is coming up i'm going to make a big batch of botamochi for higon i'd be happy to set some aside for you if you want are you sure mommy said i can be the taste tester they're yummy don't be a stranger we're always here if you need us thank you i appreciate it [Music] wow he got really snuck up on me it has been a long time since i visited mom's grave it's probably in need of a good cleaning okay so i'll need botamochi probably incense what else oh flowers [Music] [Music] oh hi [Music] what a surprise how have you been fine i suppose well you see the poor thing looked positively famished i only put the food out in case the cat was hungry not because i wanted to pet it yeah right of course that's super reasonable so are you running errands today yep that was a really awesome sale on vegetables this cabbage was a steal like a penny-pinching housewife i have a couple of errands to run as well there's a candy store nearby and it's one of my favorites i need to go before he come oh for both emoji that's right i've been thinking and i wonder if it's hard to make ah so do you normally buy it kinda we used to get botamochi from the store but i just learned to bake and even though i'm not all that great i was thinking of making my own this year i thought it would be a better offering if i prepared them myself you know [Music] give it a shot you'll never know until you at least try right besides all mothers cherish gifts given by their children especially homemade [Music] thanks otomochi huh i've never actually made it before okay sure well i asked tino's mom for the recipe sounds like you're all set then i'm sure you'll do a great job as usual but i've never made them though and i want everything to be perfect oh would you like me to help you uh-huh i'd like your help i'd like your help [Applause] how's this design work i meant help with the cooking baking doesn't require a costume you're underestimating the artisan style it's hard to believe but almost a whole year has passed already strange but it's like it went by quickly and slowly at the same time life sure is full of surprises especially in this house you know what i've always wondered about my half pounding sticky rice is called half killing why do you care it sounds so violet know what i mean i don't want to have to kill anything much less this poor defenseless rise what'd it ever do to me uh yeah just don't overdo it okay bye [Music] i'm sure you're probably wondering what's going to happen to you after this i think you'll be fine so don't worry yeah this year may have had its ups and downs but i am doing fine in the end you were right tada it's so cute i'm okay mom but you probably already knew that [Music] does it taste too sweet no these are just right knowing cysts she'd prefer yours over store-bought ones do you really think so absolutely all mothers cherish gifts given by their children especially homemade i think you're right they are perfect all right then it looks like we're ready for tomorrow wait a sec strange did i tell her i was going to my mom's grave how did she know [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] here we are oh man i knew it was gonna be dirty i'll go get some water so watch our [Music] things come here family [Music] i'm back [Music] okay ready to start cleaning yay all right monica you're on weed duty and i'll wipe down the tombstone aye aye you seem used to this yeah i guess mom and i would come here together you know to say hi to dad that's right he's also here oh yep we'd always come and clean the grave for him too did you forget hmm i'm sorry well i don't really remember him so i can't be sad about it i guess mom did try to show me some pictures of him but he was either always hiding his face with the photo was like super blurry it was pointless some people are just camera shy that's true but mom sure did talk about him a lot your dad was all alone and he only wanted one thing he wanted a family of his own except then he died not long after i was born i wonder what she looked like as a baby i bet you were adorable can you imagine all the frilly baby clothes oh please stop know what i think your dad must have been happy i mean he did have you guys i don't know to be honest i can't say i think of him that often is that bad no i mean i don't remember anything from when i was a baby either but to your dad you must have meant the world after all that's what it's like to be family [Music] maybe you're right well chi i guess now you belong to me i'm gonna keep you forever and ever hey i'm not a pet i'm kidding if i brag too much this might come back and haunt me sure i'm sorry [Music] dear mom and dad this is my life now i'm happy that you're together again at least you won't be lonely and i'm not either [Music] here this one's yours hey chi speaking of photos and stuff do you have a baby album you're not allowed to see it ah if i showed you a really embarrassing picture of keiichiro then maybe could i look at it and you call him evil shoot i forgot the bucket be right back [Music] it's her [Music] oh well hello again you did a wonderful job taking care of the grave [Music] this is a surprise it's not often i see you visiting someone's grave so obediently monica perhaps this means you've matured a bit it was worth letting you leave what do you think you're doing here what do you want pardon me i didn't realize it was such a crime for a mother to visit her daughter's grave your daughter though we've talked so often i never properly introduced myself [Music] your mother was my daughter making me your grandmother oh dear it wasn't ever my intention to deceive you i'm so sorry for not telling you sooner [Music] your mother my mother i wonder what she's thinking you know she'd been meeting with she without ever telling him who she was you don't say was it you did you tell her where chiel's grave was she asked me and of course i'm obliged to answer i guess so it's not as if i can blame you i can't believe her the sheer audacity she's only trying to get on his good side after all that's what it's like to be family then again look at me i'm just as bad it's strange i thought for sure that if i ever met anyone from the main family i'd be angrier hey mom i meant grandma today [Music] chill you're burning up being surrounded by all these strangers must have done a number on you i'll go tell someone thank you mother why aren't you with our guests maruka got overwhelmed he needs to rest for a bit yes please stay here with monika he shouldn't be alone right yes ma'am you will return to the party what will the guests think if both of you disappear you cannot neglect your duties as hostess all right please keep a close eye on him i will of course what a terrible way to wake up good morning guess i overslept the fish swam smoothly back downstream clambon laughed and laughed suddenly like a dream it brightened and golden rays of sunlight shone down into the water great okay how about comia comia oh sure thing um what paige i lost my place you should stay alert in class so you'll be ready for sixth grade sakura will you begin the next part okay the net of light from the waves fell upon clamp heads up right in the face you okay yeah [Music] we finished all our cleaning duties sir take a look it took a while but it's ready for your inspection are you serious right now all that work i didn't mean to huh so what's going on with you no way yup it turns out that she's my grandmother it was such a shock i don't know how i feel about it aside from embarrassed for not realizing it before i'm glad you finally figured it out did you know well i wasn't 100 sure but i did think she looked a little like madoka i didn't even notice seems so obvious now oh sorry about that but getting to meet your grandma is exciting right yeah i guess see ya okay [Music] huh hey what's he so upset about i don't know what you mean don't play dumb with us there's something wrong with comey the whole class could tell he's been out of it all day you may not have noticed but you aren't the only person in the world who cares about him look uh could this get any more embarrassing are you listening to us i thought you were his best friend you have to help him hold on a sec what is it man i'm sort of in the middle of something hey i have good news so our recording session this afternoon was just rescheduled do you want to hang out yes you've got perfect timing huh you girls want me to help him okay i think i've got an idea that might cheer comia back up so just leave it to me [Music] i just bought that new video game about the plumber wanna try it out with me good to see you well i would but i was planning to clean the ventilation fans today yeah hey monica i got a new game wanna play i don't really feel like it [Music] for real they wouldn't let you in even with bribery some kind of celebrity you are hey i would have been able to cheer them up if they just given me a chance when hayato's upset he says it makes him feel better when i lie down and let him play with my hair all right it looks like plan a was a complete failure time for plan b then there's a plan b coming well good evening is something wrong you usually call before coming over i hope everything is all right i'm not running away from home again don't worry that's good i have a question for you it's almost time for spring break right i was wondering if you had any interest in all of us going on a vacation a vacation i thought that taking a trip might do us a lot of good here have a look i brought some travel magazines with me thank you i'd love to check them out but i have homework to do oh all right then i'm sorry for keeping you thank you so much for the tea it was great it's not a problem seems really upset you sing down too i do if you're sad or upset about something you don't have to hide it from everyone please just tell me and i'll help you if i can maybe it's not my business but i still worry thank you it's all okay i promise i tried my best no matter what i did they wouldn't tell me anything guess i'll have to try something else i'm sorry i failed i missed you no you did what you could turn that thing down what are you talking to your girlfriend give me some privacy oh sorry about that it's okay i wanted to mention that when i visited them monika seemed down in the dumps too do you know what he was upset about i've never known anyone who could upset him as much as his mother does they don't get along no i don't think so i've heard they've been at odds for years oh yeah if that's what's going on i'm not sure that there's anything we can do to solve the problem but maybe we could figure out a way to cheer them up what about getting them to leave the house and have a little fun somewhere i thought about that but when i brought up going on a trip neither of them seemed interested they need a change of pace wow can you believe that i asked you to turn it down cherry blossoms they're blooming really early trees are expected to be in full bloom by next week stay tuned for more weather that's it the answer to our prayers flowers yes the cherry blossoms are blooming early this year it's gotten warmer out so now it'd probably be the perfect time to go we could pack a few lunches and invite everyone to join us i like the idea but i'm not sure monica would be up for it flower viewing can get crowded yes that's a good point we could host it here in the garden surely you wouldn't mind inviting a few friends over that might work if we had any cherry trees are you okay i'm sorry that i lost my temper it's not a big deal but is something wrong hino asked for your help yes he noticed that you seem down at school and he got a little worried monica looks sad too so we tried to make you both feel better i'm really sorry no it's okay i had no idea you guys were so worried about us honestly i'm fine that's what madoka said too i hope you two are being honest with me sorry please don't be i'm sorry for sticking my nose into it i just i want you to remember something there are a lot of people around here who only want the best for you i'm one of many friends who love you we care truly yeah thank you dinner's ready coming why did miako stay to eat with us she said her dad had a special dinner prepared for them and he'd be disappointed if she didn't get home in time well she's missing a great meal thank you for the food it smells divine too so we try to make you both feel better does he really seem sad hmm it's great what's wrong it's nothing really except miyako mentioned having a cherry blossom viewing party here but we don't have any cherry trees do we oh she said that she would bring one over for us how about it if you'd like to make it happen then let's do it that day what do you think you're doing here what do you want looking back monica tells me stories about mom all the time but when it comes to his parents i've never heard him say anything about them i guess i don't know much of anything about monika sis would make the bento for us usually weird rice balls and burnt rolled omelets but to tell you the truth in spite of all that i actually liked her cooking i'm gonna try to talk to him more about [Applause] everything [Music] oh wow a flower viewing you're not [Music] invited [Applause] [Music] my mother let me use one of her pots best blossoms ever don't you think you're a little over excited thank you for being such a good friend to ryuji we thought we'd bring you a little present you didn't have to i made all of us at bento seriously you made this yeah it was a lot of fun my mom couldn't come with me but she sent somebody naughty rice balls his eyebrows snacks and sodas we didn't forget about ontario either oh that's sweet thanks i assume monica's still up in his room working mm-hmm he won't stay in there all day willie i wouldn't worry about that i'm sure he'll come poking around as soon as he's hungry enough well in that case i'll make sure to save him a huge helping of everything hey guys can we go ahead and get the party started i'm starving here you could try using some manners you know yuji's right we should start eating now finally back up back up back up back up all right stop wait a sec what's with the truck i thought it'd be obvious kiddo well you can't have a flower viewing without the main attraction [Music] what you think [Music] now for your listening pleasure enjoy the utro10 boys i'm not gonna say thank you i'm not gonna say i shouldn't why aren't you singing because it's your solo i'd like to enjoy the party so what are you scared to sing without these guys you got this your audience is waiting for the private concert via pro [Music] ducati i was the one who told her where your mother was buried i should have asked first i'm sorry i'm not upset about that no need to apologize i was confused i have to admit i was really surprised she was there i've never seen monica so angry before yes i've known them a long time and their relationship has always been turbulent you see is it because of my mom i don't think so it's been this way since we were kids i wonder why mr katari may come off as cold to many people but i'd like to believe there is more to her than that me too thanks guys i love this crowd well now it's time for us to be on our way we hate to rush off but we have rehearsal tonight this afternoon was really wonderful huh are you kidding i've got a song in my heart later see ya i hope he didn't miss anything fun i just hope there's still food left huh they look just like ucho glad you came hi we have a question for you who are those guys oh monica's clients um what are you wearing haven't you ever heard of cosplay you should be touched by all the work we put into making this party a success is that true yeah that's all it is please come in enjoy yourselves thanks for having us you'd better come down now or there won't be any food left it's really delicious i'd hate for you to miss out miyako made all kinds of things for us he knows grandpa even brought us a huge cherry tree it's all pretty amazing i cooked rolled omelets they're good probably the best ones i've ever made well all right maybe it's time for me to stop sulking let's go there's the tree he knows family brought my that's impressive monaco you're here come right this way i saved you some of everything this stuff is really good okay are you drunk yep time to come lose and have one this man is a genius [Music] monica here try eating a rolled omelet before you get too full don't mind if i do let's see yum [Music] they taste even better than the last time you made them really i think they'd reach perfection if they were maybe just a little bit fluffier so you'd like them to be lighter i can do that yes a revolution oh man do you want to play okay but the rule is whoever loses has to do something embarrassing [Music] drank too much why didn't you keep me from the sake you need to rest thank you chi i'm sorry when we visited chio's grave i was not prepared to see my mother there like that okay cheeto told me you've always had problems with her there's nothing you need to apologize about there isn't not really to be honest i always thought people from the main family seemed pretty cold i promised myself that if i ever met them i'd give them a piece of my mind i wanted to defend mom because she had nobody so i would demand to know why they weren't in our lives i convinced myself that they were cruel i guess that sounds pretty heartless not at all i actually met her before that day it's funny deep down i wish she was my grandma so when i found out the truth i didn't know what to feel it's bittersweet really well i can't promise that i'll ever like her [Music] everyone's leaving now if you want to say goodbye see ya this was so much fun let's do this again next year yeah we had a blast thank you for coming and for bringing the cherry tree thanks for letting my family crush the party see ya i'm really glad you guys stopped by thank you for a great afternoon come back again sometime thanks okay wait where's keichiro he's sleeping his drink off on the sofa in the parlor it's getting late so i should be heading home myself thank you for everything i'm just so happy you're feeling better have a good evening i can't believe so many people were worried like that well of course they were worried about you um what are you talking about don't act like you haven't been pouting around the house too admit it true of course it's that dream again [Music] maybe there's more to her than i thought [Music] hey there hannah are you ready to start school i think so you'll have so much fun i really like your backpack knowing hanukkah i bet it'll get worn out soon enough sixth graders please help all of our newer students to find their way oh man it's like we're babysitters sixth grade is ready let's go i wonder what kind of assignments we'll have yeah i bet the filters will be cool [Music] mom i made it to the sixth grade i promise i'll work hard to be a good friend to everyone i know even monika [Music] there's no need for you to worry mom pull me up we're going inside you coming yeah [Music] [Music] um i wonder which do you think is pink better than blue yellow interesting perhaps saffron saffron that's crazy do i even want to know oh he's just in creative mode i really wouldn't worry about it too much instead worry about this problem you missed we can't all be math whizzes what kind of stuff is he even working on anyway more idol outfits nope this time it's wedding dresses [Music] good morning well good morning to you is it just me or does monica seem busier than usual spring is always a hectic time for him but this year has been a bit more problematic than normal i got fat i lost 10 pounds we moved the ceremony to next week my dresser has to look better than hers and you just can't say no to a woman in bridezilla mode sounds scary oh hello want something to eat sure thing i decided on pink after all okay on second thought maybe i'll make him a bento so he can eat in his work room he really is impossible sorry for the trouble oh please i'm used to it by now [Music] all right was great thanks you can leave it there are you going to eat dinner with me i just finished eating so probably not sorry it's fine i'll make you a snack for later in case you get hungry oh thank you well it looks like he ate everything that's good i guess [Music] you can do it hello there oh hi where'd you come from [Music] your hair is sticking up who is this girl she seems familiar [Music] somehow oh morning wouldn't your bed be more comfortable yes suppose it would but then i'd probably fall asleep that's the point what time is it you feel like you might be running a fever uh you think so that's funny i don't feel sick but still don't worry i'm seriously fine oh and thank you for making that bento okay back to work he barely touched his food i wonder if these cooling machines actually work maybe i should buy some medicine too i don't think he said anything about his head hurting though and maybe just an energy drink i wonder which one's best why hello chihiro need some help monica doesn't really seem to have much of an appetite today but he needs to eat something don't people eat soup when they're sick i've never had to take care of anyone before now i'm kind of in the dark on this one [Music] behold oh so [Music] hello [Music] oh good afternoon how have you been fine how's stuff with you how is it you always managed to catch me in an awkward moment no it's not fair i'm losing all my cool points [Laughter] that white cat is always escaping from you isn't it indeed it's a very skittish creature anyway are you out running errands today yes ma'am i was buying some medicine for monica i've known them a long time and their relationship has always been turbulent i see i suppose he hasn't changed much these past years i'd hope that by now he might finally have his act together when he was little every time the seasons changed he would manage to get sick i'd hate for him to cause too much trouble for you trouble i'm seriously fine he's not monica has been super busy with work so i decided to help him out it's not like he's laid up in bed or anything well that's good to hear the skies look like they could open up at any moment you'd better hurry home before the rain hits yes ma'am oh wait yes what is it oh um take care [Music] you as well [Music] i still have so many questions i wanted to ask why she and monica don't get along and i wanted to ask how she really feels about mom and i wanted to ask what should i call you [Music] oh welcome back chihiro whoa do you need some help with that box no i think i've got it thanks it's supposed to rain so i'll grab you an umbrella yeah much appreciated sorry to be in such a rush drive safe i guess everyone is working overtime hmm monica here hey chi come on in a letter yes one of my most recent clients sent it along with some pictures there of her wedding ceremony oh that's cool she looks so pretty tell me have you ever been to a wedding before me no i haven't well they're even more gorgeous than that picture it's like there's this happy aura surrounding everyone in attendance yeah it is beautiful and i believe a woman shines her brightest on her wedding day so that's why they're so darn picky about every minute detail oh yeah makes perfect sense not really but no matter what i will always do my best to make their wishes a reality it's perfect thank you so much yay mommy i love it that's exactly what i wanted [Music] come here let me see your head [Music] i got this too it's medicine if your fever doesn't go down take some and drink this it's full of nutrition and stuff so it'll keep you going if you're not hungry enough to eat i also bought some gelatin and put it in the fridge but if you want something hot let me know you may talk a big game but you're sick and you need to take care of yourself i'm glad you're working hard for others but your help is important too you got that yes [Music] and if you need something you better ask me yes sir [Music] okay [Music] thank you hey want to play games at my place sorry i can't today why because monica's still super busy with work next time for sure though yep go get it yeah good luck sorry i

me i'm finished with my work you made it yep i'm pretty sure anyway hurray let's sleep forever don't sleep in the hallway monica i made you some soup um monica what are you doing i thought you were done with work oh i am this was for geo from mom yes it was the very first dress i ever made i've remade it so many times it barely resembles the original design this is probably version 503 can you really call it the first dress you ever made then i'm not crazy i know she's never going to wear it but this time of year i like to bring it out and look at it mom told me that she and dad didn't have a wedding ceremony true so there aren't any pictures i know for what it's worth i think this would have looked great on her isn't it beautiful monica do you want to dress like this yes definitely when i get married okay then i'll make it for you don't worry i promise it'll be perfect really i hope i'll be pretty in it just like mom was something wrong nothing at all by the way monica you can worry about that when you're not sick back to bed oh gee what's the matter well it just seems like a waste is all what's a waste you know the dress for no one to ever wear it i'll just save it for your wedding day then sound good god no and that's way in the future do you think so time has a way of flying who said i'll even get married in the first place well if you don't get married i'll make you wear the dress as a penalty it's a win-win what that's not fair thanks for dinner okay time to get some rest yes mother where are the cooling sheets for your head i had them in my work room seriously you hear that i think something hit the window huh you're probably delusional from fever and lack of sleep so close your eyes fine good night g sleep well let's see where are those cooling machines how man why is he so freaking messy where are they that's them thanks a lot surely i'm just hearing things hey quiet down did you turn the lights on i think that was the same sound i heard earlier

went through all that trouble to help you're calling me an evil window ghost that's quite rude it's been one year exactly now that's why i came to visit one year let's talk for a bit just tell me
