With You and the Rain (雨と君と)

It's done.

With You and the Rain

Hello.

Welcome.

Where's Hiura-kun?

Oh? He was just here.

He must've gone and hidden himself somewhere.

You're so cute.

Come on now.

It's really cute.

Hey, could you go find Hiura?

Now, go, Great Detective Dog! Begin the investigation!

Bit sloppy for an investigation.

Just watch.

It's determined to find him.

Ah, that's my snack.

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

Made in Australia

Let's try that again.

Begin the investigation once more!

Yeah, not happening.

Sorry for waking you.

That's okay.

Were you taking a nap?

We're looking for Hiura. Know where he is?

No idea.

Huh? What's this?

I'm sorry. This is my little one.

Hiura! There you are!

What are you doing?

I'm just so tired.

I didn't expect it to be this tough.

And seriously?

You wrote such a good screenplay.

Damn it. Thanks.

What was that? A complaint or a thank you?

Stop whining and get it done.

First time in an animation studio?

Yeah. It's really lively.

We've got a deadline coming up.

The video is made up of things you can't see on the screen.

You're saying good things, but not in a cool way.

When you make a rare good point, at least try to sound cool.

But seriously, you really helped us out with the screenplay.

Then, why'd you run away?

How modest of you. What happened?

It's pathetic.

Everyone's working so hard, and I can't seem to do anything right.

Well, yeah. You even ran away.

Compared to a novelist who shoulders everything alone, I have it easy as the director, right?

Not at all.

Because you're the one who takes all the responsibility, right, Hiura-kun?

Oh, the pressure.

All right. Good job, everyone.

"Mountain of Storms" Test Screening

Thanks for coming when you're so busy.

No, I need to apologize to you, Hojo-san.

Why?

I'm only able to make it to the test screening.

Oh, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

"Mountain of Storms" Test Screening

Here's your seat.

Okay, thanks.

Mountain of Storms

It's a strange feeling seeing my grade school classmate become so accomplished.

You think so?

It doesn't feel like he's changed at all.

Well, I'll be heading off now.

Oh, okay.

Thanks so much for everything. We'll catch up again soon.

Thank you so much. I'll see you later.

Did she leave?

Yup.

She's not coming to the reception?

You know she doesn't like those things. It's a hassle.

Hey, don't call it a hassle.

Thanks for looking after it.

Did it behave?

Seems it turned out pretty well.

What?

It's written all over your face.

All that struggling paid off, huh?

Guess so.

Hey.

I've been meaning to ask.

How's it feel to see something you wrote in bookstores or turned into a film?

Why do you ask all of a sudden?

Well...

I remember being jealous when I first heard you were having a book published.

I've never done work where I get credited like that.

I...

I felt scared.

Scared?

Yup.

There are people who build roads, or deliver mail every day...

So many respectable jobs out there done by people whose names we don't even know.

Compared to those people,

I wonder if I've managed to create something I'm not ashamed of.

That always scares me.

I see. I get it now.

What?

Well, a young person at work was complaining to me.

"I wanna do some great work at a place where I can get my name out there."

Right.

But just now, what you said about "out there"...

There are so many respectable jobs out there, even if they don't make you known.

Yeah, that right there.

Those words just didn't come to me right away.

It's because you don't read.

Shut it.

Thanks for picking me up.

It's whatever. We're going shopping together, anyway.

I'm so excited! Okay, good night!

Cheers!

Cheers!

I'm really glad we got to do some flower viewing together again this year.

Yeah.

"When we get to heaven..."

What?

Isn't there a line about boasting over how many pretty cherry blossoms we got to see

before we died?

Or was it not cherry blossoms?

I hope we get to see the cherry blossoms together next year, too.

Spring is all about...

Graduation? Or maybe the entrance ceremony?

Meetings and partings.

Decluttering.

That's why you made us come over?

Why not keep this stuff instead of throwing it out? It's not like you want to, right?

Well, that'd be possible if I lived in my parents' big house like you.

Lives alone

Nowadays, there are e-books, and it's a waste to keep clothes I don't wear.

It's true. You can sell anything online now.

Lives alone

Well, yeah, but... Even so...

Lives with family

I get it's refreshing to throw stuff away,

but once it's gone, you can't take back the regret.

And even if it's useless, it's precious to me.
