Still Walking Page #2

- I love Grandma's house!

- Too bad.

Without the "house"

you would've gotten another one.

- Red bean too.

- That's for Grandma.

Oh, sorry.

You don't like red bean, do you?

Couldn't you stop

calling him Ryo?

If only for today.

To help your mother out.

But Ryo is just Ryo.

You know better.

You do it on purpose.

Tonami doesn't answer.

Publishers are probably

closed on Saturdays.

Call him back Monday.

Don't say anything to them

about my job.

Please.

If we make it through today,

we won't see them for a while.

They're your parents.

Don't be so defensive.

That's exactly why.

I refuse to say I'm between jobs.

Not to him.

Oh no.

You get so defensive

about your father.

Come on, carry one.

Hello.

That's "I'm home," right?

Nice to see you.

Welcome. Isn't it hot?

Hello.

What good manners you have.

You left this behind.

I'm so sorry. He's always leaving

something behind. Thanks.

The station area's changed.

I got lost, drenched in sweat.

You're Rip Van Winkle,

because you never visit.

That narrow bookstore's gone.

The owner got sick

and was hospitalized.

There was no one left

to look after the store.

We'll chill this

in the bathtub, and -

You said you liked

cream puffs, Mother.

Thank you so much.

The first one goes on his altar.

Your flower arrangement's beautiful.

Which school, Mother?

Oh, I'm self-taught.

Mom just fakes it.

When I took lessons,

it was completely different.

As long as they're pretty,

it doesn't matter.

Been a while.

Hello.

You have a nice tan.

Hawaii?

No time to go anywhere.

I make do at the local park.

He walks around in his swimsuit.

Can you believe it?

You've grown more, Satsuki.

Another half inch

over the summer.

You'll outgrow me soon.

You eat enough.

Mutsu, are you still fencing?

What?

He quit after we bought him

all the equipment.

It's too hot, and it stinks.

Oh, here's Grandpa.

It's nice to see you again.

Oh, you're here.

Hello.

He knew.

I'm so sorry.

He's so unfriendly.

Don't worry.

My father's just like him.

When Junpei

first brought his wife here,

he ran and hid

in his examination room.

I'm sorry.

Can you sleep okay?

I wake up sometimes.

Poor thing.

I'm sorry his teeth grinding

wakes you up.

On his high school trip,

Ryota made so much noise

grinding his teeth,

they made him sleep

in a separate room.

The poor thing.

A separate room.

That wasn't me.

That was Junpei.

If you use your thumb joint,

they fall right off.

You're so good.

This always

used to be my chore.

They wound up building it

as it was designed.

That's terrible.

They promised

to make it triangular

to let the sun in.

But it's square.

Exactly.
