I'm home!
ただいま
Welcome back.
おかえり
How's Dad?
父さんの具合どう？
腰はずいぶん良くなったんだけどね
His back's a lot better now.
His blood pressure's running high though,
高血圧気味だから
ついでに治してもらえって置いてきたわ
so I left him there to get treated for that, too.
Here, a present.
これ お土産
Oh, Hokunan lost?
あら 負けちゃったの？ 北南
甲子園 暑そうだなー
Sure looks hot at Koshien.
If Ezonoo had made it there,
エゾノーが行ってたら
私たち今ごろあのスタンドにいたかもね
we might've been in the stands about now.
積み出し終わりました
All done with the stacking!
おう お疲れさん
Thanks, good job!
頑張ってるみたいね
Hard at work, I see.
あっ おかえりなさい
Oh, welcome back.
Ah.
２週間ですっかり農家の男になってきたんじゃないの
You've turned into quite the farmer over the past two weeks, no?
Thanks...
どうも…
Don't worry.
大丈夫よ
父ちゃんは置いてきたから
I left Pa at the hospital.
Oh, they lost...
あっ 負けちゃったんですね
Let's hope Ezonoo can make it next year.
来年はエゾノーが行けるといいわね
Do you think Icchan can become a regular this fall?
いっちゃん秋からレギュラーになれそう？
Hm, I'm not sure.
う～ん 分かんないけど
He said he can only go home during the first week,
家に帰れるのは初めの１週間だけで
後はほぼ休みなしだって
and after that there'll be no real breaks.
そうだ 八軒君
Oh, Hachiken-kun.
You haven't had any breaks since you came here, right?
うちに来てからお休みもらってないっしょ
Why don't you go somewhere for a breather?
息抜きにどっか行っといで
"Somewhere"?
どこかって…
Where?
どこへ？
車出してあげるよ
I'll drive you.
Is there anywhere nearby you want to go?
近場で行きたいとこないかい？
Um, is there anywhere nearby you can go to have fun?
えーと…この近くで遊べる所って？
Maybe the Ito-Yokado store?
イトーヨーカドーかな
ここから１００ｋｍくらいだし
It's only 100 kilometers away from here, too!
Maybe an hour's drive?
車で１時間くらいかな
However, this experience has surely strengthened the players.
Um...
えっと…
…選手たちの強さにつながったはずです
９回を投げ抜いた日高投手もまだ２年生です
Higata pitched nine innings and is only a second year.
そういや 多摩子んちの農場すげえでかくて面白いから
Now that I think about it,
若いチームで来年こそ ここ 甲子園で…
It's a young team.
Komaba told me to check out Tamako's family farm
Let's hope they will find redemption next year here at the nationals.
一度見てこいって駒場が言ってたな
because it's super huge and really interesting.
本格的な夏の日差しが
肌を焦がしていく様に
私もあなたに恋焦がれる
海へドライブ 運転するよ
横顔撫でる 潮風が気持ちいいsummer day
la la la summer day
ビーチパラソルカラフルだ yeah
砂浜に咲く 花みたい
KISS YOU あなたの心
もっともっと近くにいたい 感じたい
私だけ見て
KISS YOU ぐっと膨らんだ
胸の思い 唇にのせて 伝えたいと
だから KISS YOU
だから さあ KISS YOU
Episode 7 Hachiken Goes to Giga Farm
Oh, this is it!
あっ ここ ここ
Everything from here on is part of the Giga Farm.
ここから先全部ＧＩＧＡ ＦＡＲＭさんだよ
広っ！
Vast!
でかっ！
Huge!
多っ！
So many!
Hello.
こんにちは
Tama—
多摩…！？
Are you Tamako's friends who wanted to visit?
見学希望の多摩子のお友達かね？
お邪魔します 八軒勇吾です
Thank you for having us.
I'm Hachiken Yuugo.
御影アキです
I'm Mikage Aki.
I'm Aki's mother.
アキの母です
Nice to meet you all.
どうも 多摩子の父です
I'm Tamako's father.
ゆっくり見ていってください
Please take your time.
Their DNA's working way overtime.
頑張り過ぎだろ ＤＮＡ！
Tamako, your friends are here.
多摩子 お友達来たぞ
携帯！？
A cell phone?!
Yup, okay. Hurry up.
うん 分かった 早くな
How big is this place?
どんだけ広いんだよ
Oh, I guess I can get a signal here.
あっ ここ つながるんだ
0001 Equestrian Club 0002 Mom 0003 Mom 0004 Tokiwa 0005 Mom 0006 Mom 0007 Ookawa-Senpai 0008 Mom
うわ ２週間分のメールが
Wow, two weeks' worth of texts.
0002 Mom 0003 Mom 0004 Tokiwa 0005 Mom 0006 Mom 0007 Ookawa-Senpai 0008 Mom 0009 Mom
0010 Mom
0011 Mom
多摩子もうすぐ来るから ちょっと待っててな
Tamako will be here in a bit,
so please be patient.
Oh, sure!
あっ はい
全部で乳牛８００頭 ４軒の農家と従業員…
We have 800 dairy cows,
four farm houses and the employees.
Wow.
バカでかいけど 手入れが行き届いてるなぁ
Even though it's huge, it's well-maintained.
Whoa!
何やってんのよ 八軒
What do you think you're doing, Hachiken?
What was that for, Tamako?
何すんだよ 多摩子…
Only staff allowed in order to prevent epidemics.
If you're going to take a look, disinfect your shoes!
見学するなら 靴を消毒 伝染病予防
Disinfectant
Prevent epidemics!
It's common sense!
常識でしょ！
あー はいはい
Oh, fine, fine.
伝染病によっては全頭処分なのよ
Depending on the disease, we'd have to get rid of all of them!
牛８００頭殺して
If you're willing to accept the consequences
経営陣４軒と従業員を路頭に迷わす覚悟があるっていうなら
for killing 800 cows and leaving the management
and workforce of four farms jobless and out on the streets,
ずかずか入ってもいいのよ
by all means, stomp right in.
I am so sorry!
申し訳ありません！
What the hell is this?
何じゃこりゃー！ でかー！
It's humongous!
It's a milking unit called a rotary parlor.
ロータリーパーラーっていう搾乳設備よ
すげえ！
It's amazing...
Up to 40 cows can be on it at the same time.
一度に４０頭載れるわ
牛のメリーゴーラウンド
It's like a cow merry-go-round...
作業するのに動き回らなくて済むし
Workers don't have to move around,
流れ作業で効率よくスピーディーに搾ることができるの
so milking is done in a speedy and efficient assembly line.
At my place, we'd be done milking in one and a half turns!
うちだったら これ１回転半で搾り終わっちゃう
そうだな
Yeah.
Huh?
あれ？
Is that cow being moved somewhere?
あの牛 どっか連れてくのか？
処分するのよ
We're getting rid of it.
It hurt its leg.
足をケガしてるの
でも そんなの治してやれば
But you could just treat it...
治療費掛かるじゃない
That'd cost money.
Until it gets better,
その間 餌の食い込みも悪くなって搾乳量も減るし
it won't eat as much
and it'll produce less milk, too.
That's cold.
冷てえ
何言ってるの
What're you talking about?
We aren't running a charity here.
慈善事業じゃないのよ
効率よく大量に生産することによって
By being efficient with mass production,
収入が安定するし
we stabilize our revenue.
And because it's a partnership,
共同経営だからこそ ローテーションで休みを取れる
the workers can rotate and take breaks.
Farms using the antiquated, unprofitable and back-breaking business model
もうからない きついなんて
前時代の農業じゃ 今の世の中戦っていけないわよ
can't compete in this day and age.
多摩ちゃんはすごいね
You're amazing, Tama-chan.
しっかり考えてて
You've thought this through.
あなたたちが能天気なだけじゃなくって
Maybe you're all just too happy-go-lucky.
経営者志望なら きっちり考えなさいよ
If you intend to manage a farm, you should think things through.
アキちゃん後継ぎなんだから早いとこいい婿さんつかまえとかんと
Aki-chan, you're the heir! You have to catch a good husband, stat!
大丈夫だぁ
It's fine!
アキはしっかり者だから 安心して牧場任せられるわ
Aki's got a good head on her shoulders,
so we can safely leave the ranch to her.
It's not like it's normal
高１でそんなことまで考えてる方が特殊だろ
for a first-year high school student to think about that.
Hachiken, you seem like you're strong in Math and English,
八軒 あなた英·数と強そうだから
卒業したらここに就職しなさいよ
so you should come work here when you graduate.
経営部門や海外販売部門でスキルを生かしてあげるわよ
I'll let you exercise your skills in our management
or international sales department.
Don't just decide my future for me!
人の将来まで勝手に決めんな
Are you finished looking around?
見学終わった？
Oh, hello—
あっ どうも…
姉ちゃんいたのか
She has an older sister?
何もお構いできなくてごめんなさいね
I'm sorry I couldn't come by earlier.
Oh, not at all!
いえいえ とんでもない
いつも娘がお世話になっております
Thank you for looking after my daughter.
おかん！？
It's her mom?!
Scary...
怖い… 稲田家 怖い…！
The Inada family is really scary...
多摩子 ちゃんと案内して差し上げたの？
Tamako, did you give them a proper tour?
You didn't even get them anything to drink.
飲み物もお出ししないで
あら ごめんなさい
Oh, sorry.
Please wait here.
ちょっと待ってて
I apologize.
ごめんなさいね 気が利かなくて
She's not very considerate.
Oh, not at all.
いえいえ あの… しっかりした娘さんで
Um, she's very down-to-earth.
Is she?
しっかりかしら
あぁ さっき経営の心構えとか聞かされて
Um, she was telling us about things like the management mindset earlier.
う～ん 何かねぇ
Hmm, well...
後を継ぐ気でいてくれるのはうれしいんだけどねぇ
It's great that she wants to carry on the family business, but...
I worry that she's choosing her path because
農家の子だから自分が継がなきゃって理由で
進路を選んじゃってるんじゃないかって心配で…
she feels obligated by being in a farming family.
Have some tea.
お茶 どうぞ
Oh, thanks, Tama-chan.
あっ ありがと 多摩ちゃん
Well? What were you guys talking about?
何？ 何の話してたの？
Your mom and I worry that you might be restricting yourself
多摩子が後継ぎって言葉に縛られてるんじゃないかって
父さんたち心配してるんだ
by focusing too much on being the heir.
もっとふらふら考えていいのよ
You can still explore other options, you know.
The heir?
後継ぎ？
何か勘違いしてるみたいだから言っておくけど
I think you've got me wrong, so let me say something.
I love money!
私はお金が大好きです！
合理的に！ スピーディーに！ スマートに！
To generate high revenue through logical, speedy,
smart practices is to experience indescribable satisfaction!
高い収益を出すことにえも言われぬ充実を感じます！
今や農業戦国時代
It's now the Warring States Period for agriculture.
世界と戦うには
Mom and Dad, your loose management practices
父さんたちの経営方法ではまだまだ隙があるわ
still aren't enough for us to take on the world!
私がここに就職したいのは 経営に口出ししたいから
The reason why I want to work here
is because I want to have a say in the business!
Once I join the company,
私が入社したら父さんはお払い箱よ
you're going out the door, Dad!
何！？ まさかの下克上発言！？
What?!
Don't tell me you're announcing a coup?!
So you were thinking overthrowing us instead of succeeding us!
後継ぎではなく乗っ取りを考えているなんて！
多摩子…恐ろしい子！
Tamako, what a fearsome child!
今のうちにつぶしておかねば！
We must crush you while we still can...
オホホホホホ！ できるものならやってごらんなさい
Give it your best shot!
What a down-to-earth girl...
しっかりした子だねぇ
Tamako's unshakable... She's something else.
揺るがねえ 多摩子 パネェ
Tamako's really firm in her own convictions.
多摩子のやつ ホントブレないなぁ
I'm sure parents feel secure when they have an heir like her.
ああいう後継者がいれば 親御さんも安心するんだろうなぁ
いや 寝首かかれるだろ
Nah, they might get killed in their sleep.
Um, Mikage...
あのさ 御影
Are you worried about carrying on your family business?
家を継ぐことで何か悩んでるのか？
U-Um, if that's not it, sorry.
あぁ… いや 勘違いだったらごめんな
何かさ…えっと…
It's just that... well...
そうだ 俺でよかったら相談に乗るよ
Oh! If you want to talk, I'm here.
Er...
…って アホか 俺！
You idiot!
進学コースから逃げてきてふらふらしてるやつが
You ran away from the prep school route!
人の進路相談に乗るとか 何言ってんだー！
How can an aimless guy like you give anyone advice about their future?!
ありがとね
Thanks.
気持ち うれしいよ
I appreciate the thought.
Mikage...
御影ぇぇ…
Why are you crying, Hachiken-kun?
何で八軒君が泣いてるの？
You know, you're kind of like a horse.
八軒君ってさ 馬みたいだよね
馬？
A horse?
Oh, look!
あっ 見て 見て
すごい大きなバンカーサイロ
It's a giant bunker silo!
What is it?
どうしたの？
御影に俺って馬みたいだって
Mikage said I'm like a horse.
I wonder what she means.
どういう意味だ？
馬？
A horse?
Timid?
臆病者？
良い労働力？
Good labor?
Horse sashimi?
馬刺し？
Oh, yum.
不細工！？
Ugly?!
不細工…不細工って言いたいの！？
Ugly?
Maybe she means I'm ugly?!
Hello? Yes.
はい うん
分かった すぐ行く
All right. I'll be right there.
ばたばたしてすみませんね
Sorry things are so hectic.
牛の出産が始まったみたいで
It seems a cow is calving.
Oh, why don't you go watch, Hachiken-kun?
あら 見学させてもらったら 八軒君
Have you ever seen one?
見たことある？
No...
いや…
I'm sure you'll be awed.
きっと感動するわよ
Hm, I wonder.
どうかな
Huh?
えっ？ 何？ 何これ！
What?
What's this?
What're you having me do?
俺 何やらされてんの？
It's a breech birth.
逆子だ
We'll pull it right out in tandem with the cow when she strains.
親牛の息みに合わせて一気に引っ張り出す
It's a big one,
大きいこっこだから
みぞおちや肩で詰まったらアウトだぞ
so if it gets stuck at the stomach or the shoulder, it's a goner.
うーっす！
Okay!
よし 引けー！
Okay, pull!
Yeah!
One more time!
もう１回！ 引けー！
Pull!
Let's land it with the next one!
さあ 次で決めるぞ！
引けー！
Pull!
This is bad...
まずいな 息をしてない
It's not breathing.
Hup!
ほれ！ しっかりしろ！
C'mon, get it together!
There, there, there, there!
Mouth-to-mouth!
人工呼吸！
Yeah!
おー！
よかったー
Thank goodness!
What do you think, Hachiken-kun?
どう？ 八軒君
生命の誕生って素晴らしいっしょ？
Isn't the birth of a life amazing?
It's gross.
グロい…
Wouldn't one normally say they were moved?
普通ここは「感動した」では？
無理 無理 無理 無理！
No freakin' way!
No, no!
ない ない！ グロい！ 怖い！
It's gross! Scary!
生命の誕生よ
It's the birth of a life!
感動しないなんてあなたおかしいんじゃないの！？
How can you not be moved by it? Is something wrong with you?
That's just the arrogance of a cattle farmer!
それは畜産農家の傲慢だぁ
感動とか押し付けんなー
Don't push your views on me!
Hup.
どこに連れてくんだ？
Where are they taking it?
To a shed for calves.
子牛専用の小屋よ
母牛と一緒じゃないのか
They don't keep them with the moms?
管理しやすいように
We separate them right away to make them easier to manage.
生まれてすぐ親子別々にされるのよ
えっ？
What?!
じゃあ テレビで見るような牧歌的なやつは…
Then... the kind of pastoral ideal you see on TV...
Doesn't exist.
ないわね
うちもないなー
It doesn't happen at our place, either.
To be separated right at birth is way too sad—
生まれてすぐ離れ離れなんてかわいそうじゃ…
…って おい 知らん顔かよ
Hey, wait! You don't even care?!
他人どころか家族の関係すらも希薄になりつつある現代に
In these modern times, when connections among not only strangers
but also family members, have grown increasingly tenuous,
せめて動物界だけはまともな親子関係が築けていると信じていたのに
I had hoped that the decency of parent-child relationships
had at least been preserved in the animal kingdom....
but you guys have—
お前らときたら…
ちょっとどきなさい
Hey, get out of the way.
What're you doing?
何してんだ？
I'm giving the calf its first milk.
初乳をあの子にあげるの
成長に必要な成分がたっぷり入ってるのよ
This has a lot of things it needs to grow strong and healthy.
I see.
そっか 牛が乳を出すのは人間のためじゃなくて
Cows don't produce milk for humans,
but for their offspring, I guess.
自分の子供に飲ませるためなんだよな
いまさら何言ってるの
That should be obvious.
And we ask them to share some with us— that's the dairy business.
その乳を分けてもらうのが酪農じゃない
そこはいっちゃんとこもうちもみんな同じだよね
It's the same for us and Icchan's place, too.
そういえば 豚丼も生まれてすぐに分けられてたな
Come to think of it,
Pork Bowl was separated soon after birth, too.
Um...
あの…
俺 やってみていい？
Can I try?
Here!
ほら たくさん飲めよ
Drink up!
あれ？ どうしたんだよ？
Huh? What's the matter?
Here.
ほら
Give it to me.
貸してごらんなさい
H-Hey, wait!
ちょ…ちょっと待てよ
最初はこうやるの
The first time, you have to do it this way.
これがミルクだって分かんないんだから
It doesn't know that this is milk.
何よ？
What?
There, you can take over now.
ほら もう 大丈夫よ
O-Okay.
お…おう
This one's male,
この子は雄だし
so in a week it'll get bought by a beef cattle ranch—that's its fate.
あと１週間もしたら肉牛育成業者に買われていく運命なの
So if it's clinging to its mom when the time comes,
だから母牛にべったりしたままだと
it'll just make the separation harder.
別れがしんどくなるしね
I see.
そっか 乳牛の雄って みんな肉牛にされるのか
So male cows all become beef cattle...
種牛にならないかぎり ほぼ肉用だね
Unless they become a stud, it's basically a given.
で 去勢されて肥え太らされて肉になって一生を終えるの
They are castrated and fattened up,
then end their lives by becoming meat.
I'm glad I wasn't born a cow...
牛に生まれなくてよかった
親に相手にされてない上に食肉一直線な運命
Not only does it not know its parents,
it's headed for the slaughterhouse.
なのに 何も知らない奇麗な目をしている
Yet it has such innocent, beautiful eyes.
その澄んだ瞳のまま精いっぱい生きてくれよ 牛丼
I hope you a full life and never lose those clear eyes, Beef Bowl.
だから名前付けちゃ駄目だって
We told you, don't give them names.
We ended up staying a long time, didn't we?
すっかり長居しちゃったねぇ
でもいいもの見れたっしょ
But you had a good experience, right?
あのロータリーパーラーはすごかったね
The rotary parlor was really impressive.
さらに人件費の掛からないロボット式のもあるのよ
There are even ones that are fully automated to cut down on labor costs.
Wow.
へえー
Part-time work at a friend's house, would that be a farm?
Mom
If you're staying with them, I'd like to say hi.
N
No
No n
No ne
しなくていい
No need!
No nee
No need.

Tokiwa
No clue what to do with math homework<(^o^)> Once school starts, please teach me!!
Tokiwa
今日はお前のメールが俺を和ませるぜ 常盤
Today, your text's making me feel better, Tokiwa!
こら いつもお前は
Hey!
You again.
Don't eat so fast!
そんなにがっつかないの
What's the matter?
どうしたの？
不思議だよなぁ
It's strange.
You keep farm animals at arm's length,
経済動物って突き放すわりに
but the way you manage them changes depending on how attached you are.
情で運営方法が変わるのって
駒場んちはちょっとやそっとじゃ牛を処分しない
At Komaba's place, they don't get rid of cows unless there's a major problem.
In comparison, at Tamako's place, they're ruthless.
片や多摩子ん所は容赦なく処分
But that doesn't mean Tamako's place doesn't care about their cows.
じゃあ その多摩子ん所が愛情ないかっていうと
そうとも言えないし…
豚丼のことでも
And there's Pork Bowl.
クラスのやつらはしんどいから 豚に名前付けるなって言うけど
Some of our classmates said not to name pigs because it makes it tough.
But Inada-senpai said that it's okay, and that I should stay conflicted.
稲田先輩は付けていい 悩めって言うし…
I don't know. This industry's harsh...
何つーか この業界ってシビアだけどさ
but it feels like it's telling me there's no "right" answer.
答えは１つじゃなくてもいいんだって
言ってくれてる気がする
Pedigree Certificate
Miss Sunday Shougakukan Father: Weekly Sunday
Mother: Miss Big Comic
牛って みんな名前が付いてるんですか？
Do the cows all have names?
Yeah.
まあな
Even if we name livestock, we can still kill them,
名前付けても家畜は殺せて ペットを殺すのは嫌なのって…
while we can't stand to kill pets.
その違いって何だろう？
What's the difference?
Is it how much we love them?
愛情の差？
Nah, we love our farm animals, too!
いや わしらは家畜になまら愛情あるよ
豚飼っても八軒君より愛する自信あるから
I'm sure that if we had pigs, I'd love them more than you do!
そのわりにはあっさり食っちゃいますよね
Despite that, you're totally fine eating them.
Of course!
そりゃ そうさ
It's the kind of love you give 'em thinking, "grow up good and tasty."
おいしく育てよって注ぐ愛情だもの
立場それぞれ 人それぞれ
Different people, different views.
愛情には色々な形があるのだよ 八軒君
There are many different kinds of love, Hachiken-kun.
あー そうだね
Oh, yeah.
I think I get what he meant by kinds of love...
愛情の形ってのは分かるかも
この子たちも
We're raising these foals to become heroes on the Ban'ei racetrack, right?
ばんえい競馬でヒーローになってほしくて育ててるわけでしょ？
Yeah.
うん
And after being careful about their health
体調に気を付けて 期待して かわいがって
and taking good care of them with high expectations,
それがある日突然お肉にしてって言われたら
it'd be depressing if we
were suddenly told to turn them into meat, you know?
がっかりだよね
この子お肉にするために育ててきたわけじゃないのにって
Because you hadn't raised them to become horse meat.
何か 分かる気がする
So I kind of get it.
農家の親もそんな気持ちがあるんだろうなぁ
I guess parents in farm families feel the same way...
あのさ えーと… ホントこういうのおせっかいかもしれないけど
Um, uh...
Maybe this is crossing a line,
やっぱ 家を継ぐことで親に遠慮して悩んでることあるのか？
but is there something bothering you about carrying on the family business
that you're not telling your parents?
To be honest, I actually want to work with horses.
私 本当はね
馬関係の仕事に就きたいんだ
Oh, but it's not that I don't like dairy farming.
あっ でもね 酪農が嫌いってわけじゃないのよ
Cows are cute, too!
牛もカワイイし
Besides, I'm the only child,
それにうちは一人っ子だから
後継がないと家つぶすことになるし
so if I don't carry on, the farm will go under.
I don't want to disappoint my family when they have high expectations.
期待してる家族をがっかりさせたくないしね
Maybe that's where we're alike, trying to live up to our families' expectations.
家族の期待に応えなきゃっていうところは
八軒君と一緒かな
We're not.
一緒じゃないよ
御影 俺に親ときちんと話せって言ったよな
Mikage, you told me to be straight with my parents.
そういう御影こそ
But aren't you the one who isn't being straight with your own parents?
自分の気持ちを親にきちんと話してないんじゃないのか？
Look, you have nice, fun people in your family.
ほら 御影んちはみんな面白くていい人で
So if you tell them about your dream, they'll understand!
だから夢のことちゃんと話せば分かってくれるよ
大丈夫だよ
It'll be okay!
It's not like my family.
俺んちと一緒じゃないよ
何で人のことなのにそんな一生懸命なの？
Why are you trying so hard when it's about someone else?
It's just that... I find it sad.
何か やなんだよ
だって 夢があるんだろ？
I mean, you have a dream, right?
俺 中学で目標なくなって夢もないから
I lost sight of my goals in junior high. I don't really have a dream,
so I envy people who do and are fired up about it.
夢があってきらきらしてるやつが正直ねたましいよ
でもさ 夢かなえるためにしんどい思いしながら踏ん張ってるやつが
When someone's enduring a lot to make their dream come true...
そういうやつの夢がかなわないのはやだよ
It's just sad if it doesn't come true!
Besides, when you're on a horse,
それに 御影が馬に乗ってるとき
真剣でカッコ良かったし
you're so cool and focused.
I kind of joined the equestrian club because I saw you like that.
それ見て馬術部入った部分もあるし
And, well...
その…何つーか…
Whoa!
あー 痛っ！
What, don't interrupt me!
何だよ 邪魔すんなよ
Hachiken-kun, you're too nice.
痛ててっ！
八軒君ってさ
自分のことで手いっぱいなのに
You take on other people's problems
even though you have enough of your own.
他人のことを抱え込んじゃうお人よしだよね
What?
えっ？ 何だよ
Man... Are you saying I'm the type to lose out?
損するタイプってことかよ
No.
ううん
びくびくしながら
I mean, you're shy about it,
それでもみんなのこと大切にして突っ込んでくるよねってこと
but you still care about everyone and you're willing to point things out.
そういうところ ホント馬みたい
In that sense, you really are like a horse.
Huh?
あぁ 「馬」って…
A horse?
人をよく観察するっていうのは臆病の裏返し
Their shy nature also explains why they're observant of people.
草食動物だから 基本群れを大切にする
They're herbivores, so they value the herd.
臆病で繊細で 仲間思いの動物なの
They're shy, delicate, and care about their kind.
They kind of sound like a lot of trouble.
何か めんどくさそうな生き物だな
But isn't that what's also good about them?
そのめんどくささがまたいいっしょ？
Good about them...
ってことは つまり
Wait, so that means...
そういうことですか？ 御影さん
Is that what it means, Mikage-san?
Good about them...
Mikage-san?!
御影さん？
御影さーん！
Mikage-san, I...
俺！ 俺！
I...
じぃ～
Stare.
あっ 父さん おかえり
Oh, welcome back, Dad!
もう宿題終わらせたか？
Did you finish your summer homework?
夏休みあと１週間ちょいだろ
You've only got a week or so left of break.
うーん あとちょっと…かな
Almost done, I think.
Huh?!
あぁ？ 勉強に身が入らん訳でもあるのか？
Is there a reason why you can't focus on your studies?!
Right, I guess summer's already half over.
そっか もう夏休みも半分以上終わっちゃったんだ
Once the break ends, Pork Bowl will become bacon...
夏休みが明けたら 豚丼はベーコンになっちゃうんだな
たまには手紙を書いてみようよ
どっかにポストカードでもあったけ
懐かしい顔に見けて
ほんの数行ノスタルジーを
調子はどうですか
忙しくしていますか
無我夢中で探しまわってた
あの夢の具合はどんなだい
気分転換くらいのノリで
一緒に歌わないか
そして無我夢中で探しまわってた
あの夢の続きを語り合おうよ
明日は頑張ろうぜ
今はそこにある未来へ
駆け出して さぁ 行こう
