Wow!
It's amazing to see so many people at Yunosagi.
People come from other prefectures as well.
That's right, the wishing charms...
Don't worry, we've all got 'em.
Isn't it a bit early to be giving up on things?
W-What was that?
Kou-chan
I just arrived at Yunosagi

Excuse me, I need to go meet Kou-chan.
Hey, do you need a ride?
I'll be fine!
Start bonboru-ing without me!
Making a fuss as usual...
You fine with letting her go?
Why not?
What did you write?
I want to become a bullet train!
What is it that I want to be?
One way or another, I'm actually quite the realist.
Given the terrible role model I've lived with.
That's not true.
That's not true at all!
Enishingu.
Over there is-
I...
...what do you think?
I told you before, we have a "say anything" relationship.
Hey, Mum, buy me a candy apple!
What fools play is this.
Buy one for yourself.
Cheapskate.
You got that from Ohana.
Fool, she's the one who resembles me.
I want 5,000,000 yen.
I want thinner ankles.
All such worldly passions!
It's terrible of you to peek at people's wishes. Stop it.
But it's so interesting.
Really...
Mum.
Read this one.
I want to be Shijima Sui - Ohana
You know, I've found it!
Just like the landlady, I want to hold pride in my work, give everything my all,
act a bit childish, always go with my first instinct,
and never forget my original dream... I want to be like that.
But I wasn't able to find that dream on my own.
Many other peoples' bonbori illuminated the path for me.
Yes.
I lost.
But that's even more of a reason.
I'll have to bonboru more... in a lot of ways.
Bonboru?
Ohana's been saying it.
Bonboru, huh?
What did you write?
Don't look!
What's wrong with just a little bit?
That's wonderful, Minchi!
Nako!
Come now, Tsurugi-san!
You've got nothing to lose!
Stop laughing!
It's fine, it's fine!
I wish to someday catch up to Tohru-san. - Minko
To become a chef, then become even more skilled. - Tohru
If you don't run unbelievably fast, you'll never catch me!
Kou-chan... you came.
Of course I would.
You came...
Your waitress uniform looks great on you.
Kou-chan...
Um... you know... y-
Yakisoba... I want some!
Yeah, me too.
One order of yakisoba.
Sure thing.
This is bad...
I have to... I have to say it.
Yakisoba from night stalls feel special, don't you think?
Uh... yeah.
It's different from buying it at the store or making it at home...
I like...
Yeah, I prefer it from a stall as well.
...you, Kou-chan!
I like you!
I love you!
Here you are, sorry for the wait.
Thank you very much!
At the festival, everyone's wishes rise up to the sky.
Dear...
Ever since you left me, I had thought that I was running this path alone.
But I was wrong.
I have a grand-daughter who shares my dream.
If I could, I would once more...
Once more...
Finale
When the Flowers Bloom
I've decided to take lodging with my son for the time being.
I've spent a good long time going senile in front of the boiler.
I need to get around to planning my funeral.
And I plan to take all the memories I've made here with me.
I give my appreciation to all of you from my heart,
and give my deepest thank you to the landlady.
Thank you for everything you've done.
Have a wonderful time with your grandchildren!
Thank you for everything.
Mum.
May I?
I want everyone else to hear this as well.
I learned through our trials recently...
...that I still have a lot to learn.
Not just Mum, I can't even match my sister.
Nothing you can do!
I had more talent to begin with!
Mama!
Sorry.
I asked you all to follow my lead,
but I don't have the capability to lead you yet.
Mum, I agree with your decision to close Kissui Inn.
Enishi.
But we're only closing momentarily.
I couldn't ever stand for it to disappear.
I'll continue to study and train,
in hopes of someday re-opening this inn.
And at that time...
At that time, I would like to retain the name Kissui Inn.
I want to make an inn that makes the landlady, my mother, happy.
Young Master.
When that time comes, I'll lend you my skills.
Ren-san, I will too!
Me too!
I'll leave my husband behind and come running!
You're all fools, truly.
Me too!
The more foolish the child, the cuter they are, right?
Maybe...
All right!
Tonight, we drink!
Wonderful!
Sounds great!
Hey!
You drink too!
Um... I'm still a minor.
What?! Don't act so innocent! C'mon, you-
Tohru-san!
Don't stay long.
And if you plan to do something, make sure you submit a report...
Geez...
Shall I go peek?
Stop right there.
Damn...
Hey, Mum...
...what do you plan to do from now on?
My friend has a house.
I was thinking of causing her trouble for a bit.
You should just come to Tokyo along with Ohana.
By no means.
I intend to stay here and find employment as a waitress.
Employment?
I learned something too.
Rather than giving orders, I'm actually more suited to doing things myself.
Mum...
I'll bonboru too.
And continue to be a mother you can loathe...
...for your sake as well.
Thank you so much, Mother.
Uh...
Ah, that's no good!
You have to fold back the sheet at this part.
Ah, I see.
Sorry about this room... and you're with a bit of a weirdo.
It's totally fine.
But I feel bad staying for free.
It's fine, it's so rare for me to invite a friend here,
everyone got strangely excited.
This inn really is amazing.
This inn, and the people working at it...
...you found them, didn't you?
I found them?
Yeah.
I thought this inn would not have a place you could fit in right at the start.
Watching you, I began to think that it's something you either find or make yourself.
Kou-chan...
I'll find mine too... the place where I belong.
And you know, if that place...
If... your place and my place happen to end up together...
Ohana...
O... O...
O...?
What do you think you're doing?
Uh... this is my room.
Ohana-chan's boyfriend seems so kind, doesn't he?
You think so?
He just seems frail and lanky.
I feel bad that Tohru lost to a guy like him-
Not everything is about winning and losing!
T-Th... That's right...
Sorry I'm late!
Huh?
You aren't going to sleep in the landlady's room?
Nope!
My place in Kissui Inn is right here.
This is the first time I've rung a bear bell.
They're reported to come out around this season.
It's cold!
The convenience store's too far...
One round trip and the pyjama party can continue!
Ah, I forgot to buy a meat bun.
It's so beautiful!
You know, I...
...I thought a bit about why I insisted on staying at Kissui Inn.
Isn't that just because you're able to be with Tohru-san?
That's not it!
Well, it is, but that's not what I'm saying.
My dream... changed without me realising.
Eh?
I used to only want to become a chef.
But now... right now I want to be the chef of Kissui Inn.
Minchi...
That's incredible, Minchi.
I still have no idea what any of my dreams are...
...but I would like to return to Kissui Inn some day.
To the place where dreams are born.
The place where dreams are born?
It's beautiful.
We were there, weren't we?
Don't say that kind of thing in past-tense.
We are there, surely.
Yep, we are there.
We are there.
And, some time in the future, I think we will be there.
Kissui Inn
There's no need to worry.
Just leave it to me.
Thank you.
Kissui Inn ended up being preserved as a historical building of Yunosagi.
In no time at all, we were saying our goodbyes.
As well as saying goodbye to the those times which we'd given our all.
Matsumae-san!
I'll e-mail you!
I'll definitely come visit!
See you later, Sui-chan.
Farewell.
Dear...
I... thought you had already left.
Ah... well, I kinda missed the train and had some time until the next one.
I wanted to thank this inn, Kissui Inn, for taking care of me...
...as well as say farewell to it.
Ah, did you know?
This graining totally looks like a person's face!
Ah, here too!
But maybe less like a person than a...
When I first came to Kissui Inn,
I thought it looked like the type of inn that would appear in fairy tales.
So I've been thinking:
Just as I expected, there were many dramatic moments,
and unexpected things happened each and every day.
But that was only because everyone was bonboru-ing.
If a bunch of people who give their all, join together,
and bonboru together, of course anything can happen.
And all the drama comes from each and every individual.
That's why, no matter what the place, I can make things exciting.
Ohana...
Even so... Even so, I'll someday return to this place.
Ohana.
If you're going to come back some day, I would like you to continue writing these in Denroku-san's place.
I-Is it really all right for me to?
If you don't want to, that's fine.
I'll never give it back!
I'll continue where Mr. Beans left off!
This business journal...
So you'd better... you'd better...
Yes.
I'll be waiting for you.
Yes!
I'll be waiting.
kurikaesareru hibi ga owari
Our endlessly repeated days have come to an end,
mienai mono ga hitotsu kieta
and something unseen to us has disappeared completely.
boku wa ima michi wo sagashiteru
Now, I'm searching for a path to take.
mimi no oku de hibiku koe ni
A voice rings in my ears,
omawazu kimi wo omou keredo
and before I know it, I'm thinking of you.
furikaeru no wa mada kowai kara
Yet I'm still afraid that I'll turn around and find someone else.
hagureta yubi wo takaku kazashite
I stretch my fingers high above my head.
Station-side Cinema
minamikaze wo mikata ni tsukete iketara ii na
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could run on, with the south wind at our backs?
boku wa boku wo kimi wa kimi wo sagashi ni yuku tabi ni deru
We'll leave on a journey, as I search for myself and you, yourself.
aimai de mo futashika de mo ima naraba ieru yo
Even if my words are vague or indefinite, I can say them now.
karuku natta nimotsu kakae
Carrying a suitcase that's no longer very heavy at all,
tsugi wa nani wo ireyouka to
I playfully think to myself...
kangaeru furi de mo shite miyou
...what I ought to put into it next.
Mama, you're running out of time!
yume wa yume de me ga sameru to
A dream is a dream, and when you open your eyes...
You shouldn't be late to your meeting.
atokata mo naku kieru mono da
...it leaves behind no trace at all.
omou yori kachi nante nai
Just mere thoughts, with no great value at all.
See you later!
Have a nice day!
tarinai mono bakari demo kotae nante iranai na
Even if I have nothing but deficiencies, I don't need an answer.
tadoritsukeba ima yori mo waraeru darou
When I get there, I'll be able to smile even more than I do now.
boku ha boku wo kimi ha kimi wo sagashi ni yuku tabi ni deru
We're each leaving on a journey; I'm searching for me, you're searching for you,
aimai demo futashika demo ima naraba ieru yo
Even if it's unclear or uncertain, I feel I can say it now...
tooku kasumu hikari sae mo koko kara de ha mienai kedo
From here, I can't even see the blur of lights in the distance,
yume ni mo nita chiisa na hi ga ashimoto wo terasu yo
But tiny flames, like a dream, illuminate each step I take.
kimi ga utau haru no uta ha ima bokura no senaka wo osu
The spring song you sing pushes us both onward,
arigatou mo sayounara mo ima dakara ieru yo
"Thank you"; "Goodbye"... I feel that now is the time to say them.
For now, I'm surely just a bud.
But that's exactly why I look toward the sun, high above.
And resound my voice to keep hydrated.
From here on, I'll be doing my best to bloom!
The End
