Her Love Boils Bathwater Page #2

---

Who wants both ponzu and sesame sauce?

Me.

When you eat shabu-shabu

I wonder why you feel like

saying "shabu shabu."

I just said it in my head.

I'm finished.

Azumi, wait. Azumi!

It was 11 years ago.

There was a woman named Sachiko.

She served drinks at this place

I sometimes went to.

Well, I slept with her.

Then last year

I ran into her at a different place.

She told me she had my kid.

I couldn't believe it.

It was just once.

But...You know...

She looked so troubled.

She was trembling a little.

So...

I said okay. I agreed.

She asked me to move in with her.

But she left us within a month.

I'm sorry.

I really feel bad for just

walking out on you and your mom.

It's not that I stopped loving you both but...

I couldn't hear any of your excuses.

We're reopening the bath house

the day after tomorrow.

Promise me one thing.

We all share the work, the four of us.

No work, no food.

Okay. Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Azumi, work. Move your hands.

Ayuko...

Are you really Dad's daughter?

I don't know.

Mom suddenly told me he was my dad.

That man...

That man?

He's...

bad at writing and bad at math.

He can't help it.

He had to drop out of school

when his parents died.

Who cares.

Kazuhiro!

Hey, Aso

Where were you?

Pachinko parlors.

Gambling for a whole year?

Do you realize what you put them through?

Futaba looked for you every day

for half a month.

She became sick and thin.

I couldn't bear to watch her.

Kazuhiro!

We're reopening the bath house tomorrow.

Spread the word.

Thanks.

He has no care in the world.

I'm going-

Try sitting in the counter.

You look good there.

No thank you.

It's your spot.

See you.

Bye.

"Sachino Bath House"

Hello.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'm glad you're open again.

Thank you for coming.

Here's your change.

- Thanks.

- Enjoy your bath.

I'm glad we're open again.

Yeah.

But...

It was so tough for Mom this past year.

It pisses me off that you don't seem to care.

Are you okay?

The tests show that

the cancer has spread to various organs.

It's too late for surgery

or radiation treatment.

Frankly, anticancer drugs

also won't do any good.

As I told your wife

you should focus on palliative care.

Did she get sick...

because of...

stress and a hard life?

There are various causes.

Not just one.

It's fine after the IV drip.

Let's go to another hospital.

Maybe a bigger hospital in Tokyo

might be able to...

I don't want to...

lose the meaning of my existence

just to prolong my life for a little while.

I...

still have things I have to do.

Let's go home.
