We still don't know
the name of the
flower we saw
that day
。
Recording our feelings
綴られた僕らの気分
Tsuzurareta bokura no kibun
But I can't fill in just one blank line
どうしてか一行の 空白をうめられない
Doushiteka ichigyou no kuuhaku wo umerarenai
I place a pressed flower bookmark there
押し花の栞はさんで
Oshibana no shiori hasande
And pushed an abandoned bike with you
君と転がす使い捨ての自転車
Kimi to korogasu tsukaisute no jitensha
Let's go back to where we piled those half-forgotten bricks
忘れかけの煉瓦を 積み上げた場所にゆこう
Wasurekake no renga wo tsumiageta basho ni yukou
I run up the hill overlooking the sea
海を見渡す坂をかけのばって
Umi wo miwatasu saka wo kakenobotte
The sky is frighteningly blue and there's a soda in my right hand
こわいくらいに青い空と 右手にサイダー
Kowai kurai ni aoi sora to migite ni saidaa
But my left hand is still searching for you
左手はずっと君をさがしている
Hidarite wa zutto kimi wo sagashiteiru
And so, the present doesn't even question me about it
そうやって“今”は僕の方へ 問いつめることもなくて
Souyatte ima wa boku no hou e toitsumeru koto mo nakute
Even though we're right next to each other
まだ二人はすぐそこにいるのに
Mada futari wa sugu soko ni iru noni
Even though we're right next to each other
まだ二人はすぐそこにいるのに
Mada futari wa sugu soko ni iru noni
I'm praying that I can meet you again somehow
「どうかまた会えますように」 なんて
Douka mata aemasu youni nante
I'm praying that I can meet you again somehow

Something must be wrong with me

Hot! It's hot!
Calm down, Menma!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
There, eat up!
She says eat up, with a proud smirk on her face.
S-Sorry.
I got a chill down my spine.
Stop it, you're grossing me out.
Go ahead.
You can have the biggest one since you're the biggest, Poppo.
Here.
Since you're the biggest, she says.
Yeah, that's right.
I've gotten really big!
Delicious! This is delicious, Menma!
That's good.
What about me?
Mine is going to be the most what, Menma?
Yukiatsu, you get the one with the most raisins.
I didn't say that!
Menma.
I want you to tell me directly.
Please tell me, Menma.
Yukiatsu...
I-I know, a piece of paper and a pen...
Here, Menma can write out her feelings.
Let's see...
Huh? I can't write on this, Jin-tan.
Why not? You could write in the diary.
Let me see.
Oh? It's not that it's out of ink.
Again, lemme see it again!
Wait a second!
T-Tsuruko, you're choking me.
Tsuruko...!
I'm really sleepy for some reason...
Yeah.
I feel kind of lethargic.
What's wrong?
Menma wasn't mad at us.
She forgave us.
We don't know if she forgave us or not.
But if she were mad, she wouldn't have made us steamed bread.
Maybe she appeared to make us feel guilty because she hasn't forgiven us.
A-Anyway!
She should've just written stuff from the start if she could!
That's true.
Then we would've communicated with her and believed them straight away.
Jin-tan and Menma aren't the brightest bulbs around, after all.
No.
He told us to believe in Menma?
He just wanted her all for himself.
Hisakawa, Anjou. Save up those paychecks.
We'll make those fireworks, no matter what.
We'll definitely send Menma to heaven.
Yukiatsu...
Of course you'd be tired after having so much fun.
We're all trying to make fireworks.
It's so...
...you can go to heaven.
Will you be happy?
A-Are you awa—
Thank you, Jin-tan.
Thank you.
This is how it should be.
This is how it should be...
Please!
Donations
I guess it's no good.
Round and round!
Menma, don't run! It's dangerous!
I'm fine, I'm fine!
Huh? Menma's running around?
Then I'm joining in!
Wait up, Menma!
Over here!
Sheesh...
Jin-tan, I couldn't forgive myself for liking you...
In the end, I still...
I still can't give it up.
Sorry!
Can you take over my shift next week?
Your shift?
There's construction work on the bridge this Thursday, and I want to go to that one since the pay is high.
Jin-tan!
You finally got tired of it.
You know...
You know, over there...
Good evening.
You two are...
Yes.
She—Meiko's mother—probably contacted Yama-san.
So it was her.
Then sir, you're not particularly against the fireworks?
She's still living in the past.
Time hasn't moved for her at all after what happened to Meiko.
I want to bring her back to the present.
To that end, I don't want her to keep remembering things.
I'm sorry.
I'm begging you!
Yukiatsu!
Matsuyuki-kun?
This might sound ridiculous, but I think I can understand your wife's feelings.
I loved Meiko-san, your daughter!
I want to do something for her!
I'm living in the past as well.
That's why I...
I'm surprised you did something so uncool.
So am I.
You really haven't changed, Yukiatsu.
You'd do anything for Menma.
Tsuruko?
Is it okay?
Is it okay if you believe in it?
To send Menma to heaven?
You know how attached you are to Menma, and you can even talk to her through Yadomi.
Yet...
But only through Yadomi.
Hey.
Hey!
Yo, welcome back.
Yadomi, you're heading to work?
Yeah.
I'll be late tonight, so I was going to drop Menma off at home.
Is Menma there?
Apparently, she keeps following me because she doesn't want to stay at home all day.
That's right, I want to work hard with everyone!
Yeah, yeah.
She wants to be with everyone.
Menma.
Is your hair still long?
Yukiatsu.
Well, she's grown as much as we have.
She's grown?
Yeah, I wonder why?
Is she pretty?
W-What are you asking?!
Why would I like such an ugly—
S-Sort of, she's kind of pretty...
I'd say she's more cute?
What do you mean, "kind of"?!
S-Shut up!
Jin-tan, you moron!
You idiot! You eggplant!
Shut up, you idiot!
You only deserve a "kind of"!
It's like watching a one-man show.
But that's not the case, is it?
Because...
Yukiatsu's lost it.
Episode 9
Everyone
and
Menma
Really?
Yeah, I'll make it for you.
Hooray!
Fireworks, fireworks!
We did it, we did it!
I can't let you handle the gunpowder, but how about helping out with the easy parts?
Sure!
Jin-tan, we did it!
Thank you, sir!
Thank you!
That was really scary!
Sorry, man.
Uh, so this is going to come out of the bamboo?
I think more red would make it look cute.
Cute?
You're seriously different from how you look...
So you light it here.
I see.
What about that?
Oh, that's just decoration.
It makes it easier to carry it to the launchpad.
And this is the same thing.
Amazing, amazing!
It's amazing!
Jin-tan, guess what!
Hey, Menma!
That's dangerous!
Jin-tan, don't let go!
Menma...
Poppo, are you done?
She just jumped onto your back.
Seriously?
Menma-san, give me a break.
Poppopopo!
Poppo!
Menma...
I can't see her, but I can see her.
I can see her.
I can't win.
I couldn't win back then, and I still can't win now.
What's wrong?
I-I'm going to go buy some juice!
Hey.
You saved me.
By running away.
I was about to scream myself.
Yukiatsu.
I can understand that Menma is with us.
But Menma is invisible.
She can't even talk.
I wanted to meet Menma again.
But why is Yadomi the only one...
It has to be Yadomi.
And for Yadomi, it has to be Menma.
Nothing's changed since then.
Have you given up?
You started calling him Jin-tan but changed right back to Yadomi.
What's with you talking as if you see right through me?!
I can only see through you.
A sympathy between similar people, so to speak.
I don't want to be similar to a jerk like you!
Hey, calm dow—
Sorry.
Yukiatsu?
I'm sorry.
What I said before...
I was pretty serious about that.
Before?
About us going out.
You sure are helpless against men.
Y-You kidding me?!
Nice middle.
You're unbelievable!
What do you mean, "nice middle"?!
Stop laughing at me!
You really surprised me!
Was it that surprising?
This is the day.
I'm getting fired up!
Yeah.
Hey, Jin-tan.
Anaru's doll isn't here.
Did Anaru go home?
Yeah, really suddenly.
She's one whimsical little kitty, seriously.
If Menma really is at your place, isn't she going to disappear when you grant her wish?!
What's wrong, Jin-tan?
Nothing...
My shift's starting soon.
You're going already?
Yeah.
Menma, what about you?
I'll be with Poppo.
She wants to stay here.
Is that okay?
I-I see...
Of course you can!
Like, seriously, totally stay here!
Hooray! Yahoo!
You're running around too much.
But I'm so happy!
You're happy... right, Menma?
But...
Hey, I watched it.
The one where the high-schooler fights with a pair of nun-chuks.
The winter uniform...
You finally watched it!
At first...
I thought she was a summer beast.
I bought the DVD already.
But they're already wearing winter uniforms...
Apparently there'll be a sequel.
A sequel?
The nun-chuk girl fights against these Chinese zombies in Hong Kong... huh?
Oh, I wrote it!
Menma, are you here?
Yeah, I am!
Hello 。
Wow.
You're amazing, Menma!
But I can't write on the notebooks at home.
I wonder why?
Write me some more!
Let's talk more!
Hello 。
Okay 。
Hello 。
Talk
about
what？
Hello 。
Okay 。

Okay 。
Hello 。

Hello 。
Okay 。
Talk
about
what？
Let's see...
Well...
That day...
Did you...
You know, that time...
Am I...
No, let's play letter chain!
With pictures.
I'm in!
Hey, what is that?
It looks like an Okinawan cookie.
Backpack...
Ruby...
Marble...
Mario...
Hands!
Put the lines on your two hands together for happiness!
Binoculars!
Private Menma, beginning her investigation!
I'm home.
Menma...
The number you called cannot be reached at the moment or is currently turned off.
Crap, I can't reach him.
Why am I walking so quickly?
Why am I running?
Menma is probably at the secret base.
Yet, why am I so...
Jin-tan!
Hey, over here!
Hey!
Jinta...
Menma-chan, she...
No!
I don't want Menma to go away!
Jin-tan?
Jin-tan!
Ow...
No...
I don't want you to die! Never ever!
What's with you?
You're already dead.
You're right.
You're so weird, Menma.
You're the one who's weird!
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go.
Wait, there's a koi fish.
A koi?
There was a really big one in the river.
Menma wanted to see it up close.
See, over there!
Near the tree root.
It's floating around.
Look!
Stop!
Jin-tan?
It hurts, Jin-tan.
Jin-tan, are you a spoilt child?
Forever...
Stay here forever.
Jin-tan.
Stay... Stay here.
I'll go get the koi fish.
Jin-tan, you'll get wet!
Jin-tan!
Geez, stupid Jin-tan!
You're going to catch a cold!
Come back!
Jin-tan!
