The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Yamai hi - full transcript

The Geiko and Maiko ladies kick off the New Year at an annual ceremony. Sumire looses her appetite, but Kiyo cooks up an antidote.

Ooh!

Hey, do you think...

- Think we can make it...
- ...make it to the yakata?

Yes!

Ah! I got it, I got it.

- Ah!
- Oh, it's green.

We got this.

It's still going!

It was so crowded at the shrine tonight.

Isn't it strange
that there isn't a crowd in this area?

Huh. You're right.



Hey!

- Whoa.
- Oh!

Oh! Brother Takeshi!

- Hope you're doing good.
- Likewise.

Hey, hold on. So you two didn't go home?

No, we didn't. But all
the other sisters did go back to theirs.

Oh, I see. Kiyo, I hope you're
taking it easy. For New Year's.

Thank you.

- Uh-huh.
- So, is this for soba?

Yeah, I couldn't celebrate
the new year without this.

Okay, well, I'm off to Yasaka Shrine
and then home.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!



Let's go.

- Isn't your hand tired?
- So tired.

Aah!

Ready?

Let's do it!

Oh...

- Ohh...
- Is it working?

In the old days, they would use this
to light a fire and cook the ozoni.

Hmmm...

Did you hear that from Mother Azusa?

Mm-mm. From Miss Sachiko.

Then, I guess it's true.

All right.

All right.

Hmm.

I hope everyone will continue
to have good health next year.

I hope so too!

Um... Wait.

How many chimes was that?

Eight?

Hmm? Nine?

Huh?

I have no idea.

- Aah!
- Oh, it's so cold!

Oh!

Aomori must be cold, too,
don't you think so?

Yes... Kyoto's pretty cold too.

But this is nothing...

- The blizzards in Aomori...
- Our feet getting buried...

Kenta...

He's at Grandma's tonight
for New Year's, yes?

I don't know about this year...

'Cause I usually assist her
in cooking the osechi.

Hmm...

- All right, time to sleep?
- Mm-hmm. Let's go to sleep.

Okay. Happy New Year!

- Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year!

Oh, it's so cold! Oh!

I'll make one more wish.

Okay! Take your time.

The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House.

EPISODE 7
- ILLNESS -

Here in Kyoto,

they have this tradition of putting up
a rooted pine at the yakata,

instead of the usual kadomatsu.

It symbolizes eternal growth.

- Don't just eat the datemaki.
- What a way to start the year!

You have to eat
as many black beans as your age.

That's for Setsubun.

Oh yeah.

- Mother!
- That'd be tough too.

- Kiyo? What's in here?
- Gosh.

I don't know. Open it.

- Look inside. What is it?
- Hmm?

- Hmm?
- Hmm...

- What is that?
- Squid!

- It's squid?
- Mmm!

Yes, it is.

Oh! What is this?

- The mitsuba goes on top, I forgot.
- Mmm...

- There you go.
- Ōkini.

Mmm! It's so good!

The flavors are wonderful, Kiyo.

- Ohh...
- Sachiko's a great teacher, I guess.

- Mmm.
- Yes, she is.

Well, but I don't know.

Miss, uh... Miss Sachiko's cooking
tastes a little different, right?

Mm-hmm. I agree.

- In what way?
- Hmm.

- Maybe your cooking tastes youthful.
- Mmm...

- Hmm...
- That's not a real flavor.

- It's different from Grandma's as well.
- Mm-hmm.

- They use a soy sauce base over there.
- Hmm.

Speaking on that,
why aren't you girls going home?

Kiyo's here already.

Sumire's here already.

- Corny start to the New Year...
- Hmm!

Mmm...

- Time for a little bite, okay?
- Oh.

What is this?

- I think that's sawara.
- Mmm!

Hmm.

"I pick the young greens
in the fields of spring."

- "On my sleeves..."
- This one.

- Hmm?
- Huh? Hmm.

It's this one.

What? That's strange...

We do this every year
but you never improve, Mother Azusa.

I have a favorite verse, you know?

"Even though I hide it,
my love shows all over my face."

- If I get that one, I'll be happy.
- Ah! Mmm, mmm!

All right...

- You want this one.
- Oh?

Okay?

- Got it.
- Great.

"Even..." Oh!

Hmm!

- You're a total meanie! Seriously, now?
- Oh!

Go ahead.

Ready?

Ah. Ah...

- Oh!
- So cool!

- Oh...
- Mmm-hmm.

Oh, there's a box inside.

You're right.

- Huh? Oh!
- Yours is different.

We have different ones.

- Ta-da!
- It's huge!

- What is that?
- Tap, tap, tap.

What did you get?

- It's a... Uh...
- Mm-hmm.

- Shamisen.
- Aah!

Let's see... "A shamisen ornament"

is a lucky charm

that helps a person achieve

artistic accomplishments."

What?

More than you already have?

I'm back.

All right.

Hi, everyone. I'm back!

All right.

- Seven, 31...
- Hey.

You started carving that
before Christmas, didn't you?

I can't seem to get it right.

So, you did that every day this new year?

- Yes.
- Hmm.

So, uh, it's a bunny, right?

Yes. The mouth is here,
and this is the tail and the arm.

Hmm.

- Yeah, that's it.
- I totally saw a snake.

You can leave that for next year, right?

- No, Sister...
- Hmm?

Next year is the year of the dragon,
not the snake.

- Hmm...
- The snake is the year after that.

- Next year. Got it.
- Mm-hmm.

Maybe I thought it was a dragon.

I need to do this, or I don't get
the feeling that a new year has started.

- What?
- Oof.

You mean you do such
an elaborate thing every year?

Yes.

That's cool.

I still have all my New Year's
greeting cards from Kiyo.

- I always save them.
- Mmm.

- This is so good.
- Really? I do too.

I'm back!

Oh, Kikuno's here.

- What about you, Tsurukoma?
- Me?

- What did you do for New Year's?
- Oh, New Year's?

- Welcome back, Sister.
- Oh, I mean, nothing special.

I ate toshi-koshi soba on New Year's Eve.
And then osechi, and...

- I'll take that for you.
- Ah! Yeah. I did my Hatsumōde.

- Yeah.
- My little sister got "uncertain fortune."

So I told her getting that is worse
than getting a small blessing,

or a good one.

- She started crying a lot...
- Gosh, stop!

Hey, why do you tell such long stories?

Well, in that case, Sister Yoshino,
what did you do for New Year's?

- Pachinko, that's it.
- Ah.

- I'm back!
- Kikuno!

- Happy New Year!
- Kikuno, welcome back.

Pachinko's not something
anyone ever does during New Year's.

What?

- Mm-hmm.
- Definitely not.

- Mm-hmm-hmm!
- Miss Yoshino, would you like seconds?

- Mm-mmm-mmm.
- Oh, she said, "Yeah, thanks."

- Yes.
- Mmm-mmm-mmm!

- Oh, extra chicken. Extra chicken meat.
- Mmm-mmm!

- That's so cool.
- Less of the other stuff.

Tsurukoma, you're like a dynamic duo act.
Know what I mean?

- Mmm!
- Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm!

Hey, where's Kotono?

- She's not here yet.
- Oh really? Weird.

- She's usually the first one here.
- Hmm. Yeah, you're right.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm-hmm.
- Hmm?

- Hm? What?
- What was that?

- Hmm.
- Ah. She's homesick.

- Ah...
- Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.
- I see...

- Maybe that's it, yeah.
- Mmm.

That looks good.

- Mm-hmm.
- So Yumi isn't here.

Do you think she'll be returning
to her yakata soon?

- Are those souvenirs for us?
- I think so.

- Hagi-no-Tsuki! Like every year!
- You think Yumi's okay?

- Ta-da!
- Mm-hmm.

- Ooh!
- Mmm.

- I've never seen you wear this.
- This is my special getup.

- This is too short.
- It looks so good on you!

It's so cute, isn't it?

Ah, well, it's our last day out like this
until lessons start again.

So, our last chance to do this, then, hmm?

- Okay, shall we?
- Yes.

Since I'm here,
I should get the biggest size, right?

- Two?
- I got the Teriyaki McBurger.

- Two burgers. You?
- And a McFloat.

- You went overboard too?
- I didn't get a combo like you.

- A combo? Okay!
- Yep!

- Oh!
- Hm?

Oh, right. Is it okay
that we didn't get anything for Kotono?

Oh, you're right. Do you think
there's a chance she's home by now?

Who cares? It's her doing.
It's her fault for coming back late.

You don't have to get angry, Kikuno...

It's chilly, right?

- I'm sorry.
- Are you cold?

- Hey, hey. This is bad.
- It is. So bad.

- Hiroshi, finish up.
- Yes, sir.

- We're late.
- What the heck is Kotono doing?

I hope she comes soon.

- Hey, I'm sorry. I'm back.
- Oh!

- Welcome back, Sister.
- Where were you?

- Too late.
- Sorry.

- What the heck were you doing?
- We were worried about you.

- Sorry, I missed my flight.
- Your flight?

- I know!
- Your hair's not even done yet?

- I'm sorry.
- Huh? Why did you...

Kotono...
Did you get sunburned, by any chance?

Ah! You look like a panda!

Well, so... I went skiing...

This is bad!
Hiroshi, you get her ready.

I don't care how. Just do it!

Let's hurry. Hurry.

Why even show up at all, Kotono?
Go to the hairdresser, hurry.

The annual Kemari Hajime
was held last night at Shimogamo Shrine.

Dressed in bright
and colorful traditional costumes,

the players have fascinated the visitors
with their skillful footwork,

preventing the ball
from touching the ground.

Geiko and maiko from all over Kyoto...

- Oh! It's time.
- ...come together for an opening ceremony

at Gion Kobu, one of Kyoto's five kagai.

Over a hundred geiko
and maiko dressed in black kimono,

with rice ear kanzashi in their hair,
gathered for the ceremony,

pledging to learn
and improve their craft and their arts...

Now presenting Sister Momoko.

We're here today in recognition
of your diligent work...

The geiko with the most ozashiki
booked last year, Miss Momoko.

is awarded this year's prize,
making this her sixth win in a row.

I'm glad to be here
with you again this year.

Stunning.

So tell us,
what are you New Year resolutions?

To treasure every instant.

"Treasure every instant"?

Yes. Instead
of treasuring every interaction

in the spirit of "Farewell,"

I'd like to say,
"It's my privilege to see you again."

I will honor every moment
in every encounter in that spirit.

Kimie Sakurai,
living national treasure

and head of Kyomai Sakurai
School of Dance, performed on stage...

Oh, Yumi, hi! You're here!

Kiyo! Happy New Year.

So glad you're back!

Glad to be here with you.

I did think about not coming back
and staying in Shiga though.

Ah. Homesick, huh?

- Mm-hmm.
- Mmm.

Oh, right.

Oh...

- Here, this is for you.
- Thank you!

Uh, unfortunately, yours isn't done yet.

Still haven't finished them?

How embarrassing.

- Is this okay here?
- A little more to the right.

Uh... I think that's just a little,
uh... a little too much, hmm?

Don't you think? Probably, right?

Hiroshi, I have a favor to ask
after you're done with that,

if that's okay.

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Oh, well, I think the whole thing's
a bit slanted, you know, like this?

Pshht!

Ah! You're a lifesaver!

I couldn't get her to crack at all
when I tried to do it.

- Kakimochi, right?
- Yes.

That's nice. I love kakimochi.

Is this okay?

It's perfect!

When she was still alive, my mom
would get us to make this every year.

Oh really? Mine too.

They do this in Aomori too?

That's right.

With salt?

In Aomori, they use soy sauce.

Huh... Soy sauce sounds good too.

Should I bring you some when they're done?
Glad to share.

Freshly fried kakimochi?
Can't say no to that.

I know, right?

- Ooooh!
- Ta-da!

A souvenir I got for you especially,
Misyouan's very own Chigo mochi!

Even the name sounds so great.

- Aah! Thank you so much!
- Enjoy.

All right...

Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?

Hmm? Is this a strawberry? It's huge!

That strawberry is from Gunma.

There's no way you can find
one that big anywhere else.

You're actually from Gunma, right?

- Mmm.
- I see. And how is it like there?

- Gunma has...
- Mm-hmm?

- Hot springs naturally across the land.
- Mm-hmm.

- The nature there's dazzling.
- Mm-hmm.

- There's a hill near where I used to live.
- Mm-hmm?

- It's always covered in flowers all year.
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm...

Mmm, oh gosh.
I guess you're homesick again, huh?

Mmm... I'm looking forward
to the Chigo mochi again next year.

- Kikuno! Kotono!
- Hmm... Coming!

- Are they done yet?
- Mmm...

- They're still not done.
- What?

- Hear that?
- You can't rush this.

Isn't that
the greatest sound ever?

Mmm... Aaah!

That's the sound.

- Gives me chills.
- I could listen to this forever.

- Me too.
- I'm sorry!

Oh no, it fell!

- It's okay.
- Doing great, doing great!

Mm-hmm.

- Finishing touches...
- Oh. Is that salt? Is that salt?

Oh, that's a must.

- It's done!
- Ah! Ah! Give it here!

- Ahh!
- Not fair!

- Is it hot?
- It's hot.

- Of course it's hot!
- It's hot?

Can you handle it? Oh!

- Amazing!
- Is it good?

- Thank you so much. I'll have some too.
- We just had sweet ones. Then salt...

- Oh! There are more salty ones.
- Here!

- They're hot.
- Hot, hot, hot.

- Ah. Kotono.
- Mmm!

- So good!
- This is for you.

- What's that?
- This is the Kanto version for Kotono, so...

- What?
- Huh?

So, those were for Kotono?

- Yes.
- I wanna try that one too. Can I?

No way, you're not from Kanto.
So this is not for you.

- Oh, that's right.
- Huh?

I'm actually from Kanto. So excuse me.

- Give it here!
- No way!

Aren't you from Hiroshima,
Miss Yoshino? The momiji manju?

Oh, here we go. Don't say "momiji manju"
to everyone from Hiroshima!

MS. KIYO NOZUKI
MS. SUMIRE HERAI

- Hiroshima is Hiroshima.
- Is this your rebellious phase?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! KIYO, ARE YOU WELL?
SUMIRE, WORK HARD! KENTA

- You got your energy back, Kotono.
- It's hot...

- So good.
- It's hot!

Hot! Mmph!

Oh, oh, oh!

Do you want some, Sumire?

Hmm... I don't want any, actually.

What? Are you okay?

Mm-hmm. I'm okay, Kiyo.

Hey, uh... Momohana,
your face looks a little red.

- Mm-hmm.
- It's red.

Maybe I should go and rest a little.

- Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Are you okay?
- Hmm?

- Mmm. Mm-hmm.
- What's going on?

- I'm fine.
- Can you walk?

- Oh!
- Let's go upstairs.

- Good night, everyone.
- Steady.

- Good night. Get some rest.
- All right.

Hmm.

- She must've pushed herself too hard.
- Hmm.

She heard about her maiko debut
so suddenly at the end of the year.

Oh!

Is it because...

we were up on the terrace
during New Year's?

Maybe...

It felt like nothing
compared to Aomori's weather though.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Oh, yikes.

Well, so right now, we have to make sure
your feet are nice and warm, right?

So hold on...

Here.

Let's put these on your feet.

- Or under them.
- Mm-hmm.

Can you lift your feet?

Sure.

Okay.

Kiyo, thanks a lot.

No need to thank me.

Do you think you can eat something?

Mmm...

All right, well, just shout
if you need anything, okay?

Mm-hmm.

That's why Michiko is no good.

If she keeps saying
outdated things like that,

this town will be even further
behind the times.

Yes, I agree. Even I thought
she was being a bit too stubborn...

If there's a new hotel after all,
we should collaborate together.

- Ah, yes, we should.
- Mmm.

- We're back, Kiyo.
- Hi, welcome back.

What are you doing?

Oh, so, Sumire's sick,
so I'm making porridge.

Porridge? Not udon?

Yes.

In Kyoto, we serve udon
when someone's not feeling well.

- Udon?
- That's right.

Kyoto's udon noodles aren't dark
like the ones in Kanto.

- Not dark?
- Mmm.

Not dark udon?

Hmm...

Udon, huh?

Hello. Good morning!

Oh! Kiyo! Welcome!

I'd like some oage-san, please.

Kitsune? Tanuki?

Tanuki goes with oage-san as well?

In Kyoto, they go into both.

Aah. Well, uh... I'll go for kitsune, then.

All right.

- In that case... Here.
- Mm-hmm.

Half slice it and boil it with dashi soup
and that should sweeten it nicely.

Got it!

- That's a lot.
- All right.

- Here. 200 yen.
- Great.

- You better make it delicious.
- Yes, I'll do my best!

Great.

- Uh... actually...
- Hm?

So, I was looking for good bonito flakes.
Do you know any?

- Bonito flakes?
- Hmm.

A good bonito flakes shop...

TANAKA BONITO FLAKES SHOP

Hello! Excuse me?

Do you know the ingredients
for a Kyoto dashi soup broth with udon?

What is Kyoto's dashi soup anyway?

Because everyone says that.
They keep talking about it like fools.

"Dashi soup! Dashi soup!"
Like it's easy to make.

It's not just bonito and kelp.
It's an animal and a plant, right?

Each ingredient has its own purpose,
and they're totally different.

Even when it comes to bonito flakes,
depending on the season and the weather,

you have to use
different types of flakes, huh?

Oh... I see...

I'll, uh, shave off the best one I've got.

Remember the flavor with your tongue.

Thank you very much!

Have a taste.

Are you sure? Aah!

Okay!

Oh, wait...

Mmm!

It's so fluffy!

Whose kelp
are you going to use?

For kelp... Um, I was thinking
of using the powdered one I have.

That's like eating a luxury kaiseki feast
with broken disposable wooden chopsticks.

Oh...

For kelp, go up Karasuma,

then go west on Teranouchi
and you'll find the Okada store.

Go to them.

They'll teach you a lot of things. Here.

Teranouchi? Then, uh...

I'll draw you a map.
Wait here for a minute.

Thank you!

Mmm.

Is it this way?

I think it is...

OKADAYA

There it is.

Oh! Welcome, welcome.

- Hello, there!
- Hello.

I, uh... I'm here because I want to make
Kyoto-style dashi with udon.

- Okay.
- And to make it, I, uh...

- Yes?
- I need kelp to make sure it's delicious.

You're making it yourself?

- I am, yes.
- That's so nice! Yes.

- I usually get it from the supermarket.
- Aah.

- It's my first time buying natural kelp.
- Oh, really? I see...

Ah. Right, I see.
Thank you for your preference.

All right, let's see.

Well, for delicious dashi soup,

I would recommend the rausu kelp,
harvested from this area.

- Rausu kelp?
- That's right.

We have them right here. Take a look.

They're big, huh?

- So hefty!
- Here you go.

This type of big kelp is very good.

- It's all natural and very flavorful.
- I see. Looks great.

- Oh, is it okay if I...
- Sure. Feel it.

- It's completely dried out.
- Oh!

- Oh... it's dry!
- How does it smell?

- Great!
- Doesn't it?

- Very fragrant.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes!

- Thank you very much.
- What do you think?

Would you like to give it a taste?

- Can I?
- Yes. Of course, of course.

I'll cut a piece for you
from this clean part.

Hmm.

- Here you go. It's delicious.
- Thank you kindly.

- I'll try it.
- Go ahead, enjoy.

- Hmm! Mmm!
- See? Isn't it good?

It's rich!

- Ah! It's delicious!
- It smells like the sea, doesn't it?

- Mm-hmm.
- Yes.

- This is kelp that goes well with udon?
- Yes, uh...

- Mmm.
- Good for... for udon, that's right.

- It's great.
- Mmm... Okay, so I'll... take this rausu kelp.

Is that for Sumire?

- Yes.
- Hmm.

Isn't it easier
to just order some takeout?

I wanna make it for her myself.

Why?

I don't know why.

Kiyo, you're always

the one doing all the cooking.

Don't you have any complaints about it?

Any complaints?

Hmm...

Mmm, not really, no.

Hmm.

I had a feeling you'd say that.

Oh there's one thing.

What?

Every time I cook,

I want everyone to eat
while it's still hot.

Well, it can't be helped.
Everyone's got different schedules.

Azusa told me the same thing
a while back. A long while.

Mother Azusa? She used to cook?

Mm-hmm.

When I was really little, you know?

Then well, yeah, a makanai started here,

and since then,
she hasn't cooked ever again.

I think she probably got lazy.

That's not true. Come on, Ryoko.

Hm?

I'm sure that she liked
cooking a lot for you.

Especially since you're her daughter.

I think that it must be tough for her,
since she has to

be everyone's mother here.

But, um... how about yourself, Kiyo?

You're everyone's makanai,
and Sumire is your best friend.

It's nothing, really.

Even right now.
You're doing all this hard work for her.

Well, I guess you're right.

Wanna try it?

Nope.

- Hmm.
- Okay.

Da, da, da-da-da...

Sumire...

You caught me.

Here. Look, it's udon. Are you hungry?

Sure. Thank you.

All right.

Mm!

- Mm-hmm!
- Is it good?

Glad to hear!

- You haven't eaten at all today, right?
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm...

This udon, I could eat it forever.

Really? That's great!

Mm-hmm. Mmm!

Let's check your fever again later, okay?

I'm sure you're all right.

Mmm.

What is it?

Nothing...

You need to check the addresses
on the letters next time.

Five of them got returned.

Aah!

Get it together, Mom.

Hey, Ryoko!

She said "Mom."
I think I heard that, right?

We should expect Miss Momoko
to win again next year.

- Don't you think?
- Hmm.

Seriously. Her mai?
It's like she's even more brilliant.

She danced to "Kurokami" last time
and... unbelievable.

- It really stood out.
- Was it really that great?

- Yes.
- Oh!

Well, we feel too inadequate
to go to an ozashiki anyway.

- We should go at least once in our life.
- Why don't you join me next time?

- What?
- In that case...

Professor, that ozashiki
calls for Sister Yoshino, don't you think?

- Yes.
- Who's my second?

- Number two?
- Aaah...

- Miss Himeno, I guess. Yeah, Himeno.
- Yeah, yeah...

- Mutsuki after that, right?
- Oh, right.

Hmm.

And I have a feeling
that Momohana has a chance

of getting up there as well this year.

- Already? Isn't it too early?
- Hmm...

Well, no, I mean, that's how it goes.
Isn't that right, Ren?

- Yes, I think she'll make it up there.
- Hmm.

Well, I mean,
I'm going to keep rooting for Tsurukoma.

- No matter what.
- That's right.

Who else was there?

- Hmm...
- Hmm...

Hmm...

Ah!

How could I forget?

- Nanoka, right?
- That's right, Nanoka!

- Right.
- Hmm.

- Hmm.
- Well.

Yoshino's very popular too, right?
With ozashiki.

- Oh? Please, that's not true at all.
- Oh, right...

- You really think so?
- Of course.

Then what rank would I be?
Number eight? Seven?

Oh! Yoshino, I didn't bring your tag!

- I forgot! Aaah!
- Oh come on, now. Jeez.

- We'll use this bottle, then.
- Just you wait.

You better keep your eyes peeled
around this time next year.

- I'm gonna be working frantically.
- Oh!

I'd very much appreciate that, all right?

Mother Chiyo!

Just so you know, I'm ready to do anything
to get my bones buried here.

- You won't bury yourself here.
- Now wait a second...

I'll take your bones to Hiroshima, okay?

Hey!

I think that you could be
the nicest one here.

No, no, no. I wasn't just
being nice to you, all right?

This yakata needs more humor
and positivity like you always have.

- My... you're too nice!
- Hmm.

I think the Mothers should be
taking lessons from you instead.

Oh that's right!

There's something about you that just...
just gets my heart going like this.

- See?
- Oh?

It's snowing.

Hmm?

- Oh! You're right.
- Oh, it is.

- Mother, it's snowing.
- Hmm?

First snow of the year.

Mm-hmm.

Hmm?

Hmm.

- Take that!
- Hey!

On, no you didn't!

Take this!

Take that!

Kenta!

Just shovel the snow, please!

My hittsumi lunch is ready to eat!

All right!

Sumire! The hittsumi's ready to eat!

Go ahead. I'll see you in there
as soon as this is done.

Okay.

Morning, Kiyo.

Morning.

The sound of you shoveling snow woke me.

Stay inside, it's cold out here.
You'll catch another cold.

It's okay. I'll watch from here.

All right.

In Aomori, winter sounded just like this.

Well, of course.

It doesn't matter if it's in Aomori
or if it's in Kyoto. Snow is snow, right?

You're right.

It was so nice, us three shoveling snow.

Ah.

This is good for now.

- What's for breakfast today?
- Aah.

It's snowing today, right?
So we can eat... Take a guess!

- Hittsumi!
- That's right!

Yay!

Okay...

Sumire, I'd love an extra
set of hands today. Wanna help?

- Yes!
- Great.

Ah! You're Momohana now, I forgot.

You can call me Sumire, Kiyo. Only you.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm. I'm sure of it.

All right!

Okay...

- Sumire.
- Hmm?

Look.

You finally finished it!

- The bunny print!
- Yes, just now.

I'm gonna send them out today.
