38. We're almost at Akira's hometown!Copy !req
39. I sure hope your parents are all right.Copy !req
40. They'll be fine!Copy !req
41. My parents wouldn't go down that easily!Copy !req
42. As your best friend,
I have to introduce myself to them!Copy !req
43. I'll entertain them with a one-liner!Copy !req
44. UNPARALLELED
-I'll draw 'em in by getting naked.Copy !req
45. It's been three years
since you visited your parents, right?Copy !req
46. You're not nervous, are you?Copy !req
47. N-No! Not at all!Copy !req
48. Well, honestly,
it's gonna be kind of awkward.Copy !req
49. Now that I've quit my job, I don't know
what I'm gonna say when I see him.Copy !req
50. Akira!Copy !req
51. What's going on?Copy !req
52. I'll go check it out!Copy !req
53. Zombies.Copy !req
54. Your village is past this tunnel, right?Copy !req
55. You don't think...Copy !req
56. The villagers have...Copy !req
57. No. I don't recognize anyone in there.Copy !req
58. Anyway, since we can't
get through the tunnel,Copy !req
59. there's only one other way to continue.Copy !req
60. We'll cut through the forest,
and go over the mountain.Copy !req
61. Don't worry.Copy !req
62. The entrance and exit of the tunnel
were sealed.Copy !req
63. They probably managed to seal away
the zombies that came from the cities.Copy !req
64. I'm sure the villagers are safe.Copy !req
65. A scream?!Copy !req
66. Where is it coming from?Copy !req
67. O-Out of the way!Copy !req
68. A zombie boar?Copy !req
69. Please get down!Copy !req
70. Oshite mairu!Copy !req
71. Are you all right?Copy !req
72. Man, you really did me a solid back there!Copy !req
73. My name is Masaru Kumano!
Nice to meet you!Copy !req
74. Mr. Kumano, what are you doing
so deep in the forest?Copy !req
75. What am I doing? The cities are overrun
with monsters, aren't they?Copy !req
76. I was looking for a safe place
and ended up settling here!Copy !req
77. That monster boar was unexpected, though!Copy !req
78. Home is where you make it!
I understand!Copy !req
79. But you can't live
in the middle of the forest!Copy !req
80. Wh-Whoa!Copy !req
81. This is...Copy !req
82. Could it be?Copy !req
83. It's a treehouse, of course!Copy !req
84. Despite how things seem,
I'm a master carpenter!Copy !req
85. No house?
No problem, I can just build one!Copy !req
86. 23. BUILD A TREEHOUSE
-Uh, based on how things have been going...Copy !req
87. Japanisch Tischler!Copy !req
88. This is an oak tree!Copy !req
89. Oaks have large, thick branches
so they make perfect host trees.Copy !req
90. Southern trees rot too easily!Copy !req
91. But you can find
some northern trees in this area!Copy !req
92. This is an amazing and rare forestCopy !req
93. that's quite unusual
from a global perspective!Copy !req
94. Mr. Kumano,Copy !req
95. there's no telling when another zombie
boar will attack before it's completed.Copy !req
96. This is a race against time.Copy !req
97. It'd be better if you had help, right?Copy !req
98. W-Well, sure...Copy !req
99. Aren't we racing against time
to see if your parents are safe?Copy !req
100. I can't believe
you'd ignore someone in danger!Copy !req
101. Have some heart, Shizuka!Copy !req
102. Your own secret base where you can stretch
your wings and leave the world down below!Copy !req
103. A building at one with nature,Copy !req
104. where you can embrace
the mighty power of the trees!Copy !req
105. Where sky's the limit for design!Copy !req
106. A treasure trove of imagination
and playfulness!Copy !req
107. A dreamhouse suspended in mid-air!Copy !req
108. A treehouse!Copy !req
109. Can we?! We only live once.
Can we build a treehouse with our hands?Copy !req
110. I think that's a great idea.Copy !req
111. I don't understand what's going on,
but I'll be counting on you!Copy !req
112. PITY REVEAL ENTRUST
-Affection. Sympathy. Affection. Sympathy.Copy !req
113. Honestly, why are men always so...Copy !req
114. I did it!Copy !req
115. A hose?Copy !req
116. It's difficult to judge how level
things are between trees by eyeballing it.Copy !req
117. You can measure it by checking the water
level of a hose filled with water!Copy !req
118. Whoa!Copy !req
119. Amazing!Copy !req
120. I see. You're right!Copy !req
121. Eyeballing it, I thought it was level,
but I was completely off!Copy !req
122. If you place your nails and bolts
in the right locations,Copy !req
123. you won't damage the tree!Copy !req
124. -Whoa! I see!
-Whoa! I see!Copy !req
125. It's best to leave a five cm gap
between boards,Copy !req
126. so fallen leaves won't get stuck in them!Copy !req
127. -I see!
-I see!Copy !req
128. Treehouses are built differently
from tree to tree.Copy !req
129. The tree itself
will tell you how to build,Copy !req
130. and what kind of house it'll be.Copy !req
131. If you're not sure of something,
ask the forest.Copy !req
132. The forest?Copy !req
133. That's right!Copy !req
134. The foundation of a treehouse
is the tree itself.Copy !req
135. If the host tree dies,
the house is done for.Copy !req
136. When you think of a tree, think about
the other trees and the earth around it.Copy !req
137. By doing that, you'll become mindful
of the entire forest.Copy !req
138. And that's how you'll hear
the voice of the forest.Copy !req
139. I feel like I just learned something
really profound.Copy !req
140. When you think of a tree, think about
the other trees and the earth around it.Copy !req
141. By doing that, you'll become mindful
of the entire forest.Copy !req
142. And that's how you'll hear
the voice of the forest, huh?Copy !req
143. Does that mean...Copy !req
144. If you think of yourselfCopy !req
145. and others around you...Copy !req
146. you'll become mindful of the whole world?Copy !req
147. So, when the day comes when I can hear
the voice of the world one day...Copy !req
148. What would I write in my bucket list then?Copy !req
149. You know, you've got
quite a knack for this!Copy !req
150. What? Really?
Thank you very much!Copy !req
151. I've always dreamed of having
a treehouse since I was little.Copy !req
152. That's great to hear!Copy !req
153. Come to think of it,Copy !req
154. my son used to pester me to build
a treehouse for him when he was a kid!Copy !req
155. I see!Copy !req
156. Where is your son right now?Copy !req
157. Mr. Kumano?Copy !req
158. My son was bitten by my wife
right before my eyes.Copy !req
159. So, I had to deal with 'em...
with my own hands.Copy !req
160. I thought I could take my timeCopy !req
161. and build a tree house with my son
when he was bigger and I had retired.Copy !req
162. People say, when you're ready to repay
your parent, it's already too late.Copy !req
163. Turns out,
it works the other way 'round too.Copy !req
164. Whoops!Copy !req
165. You have my support.Copy !req
166. Let's finish this together!Copy !req
167. Thank you.Copy !req
168. All right! Just a little more
until it's complete!Copy !req
169. Let's give it our all!Copy !req
170. The treehouse is complete!Copy !req
171. This is the best house ever! Yay!Copy !req
172. This canned food is very delicious!Copy !req
173. It was the right call
to grab these from the store!Copy !req
174. 23. BUILD A TREEHOUSECopy !req
175. Mr. Kumano,
it's been great working with you.Copy !req
176. I'll be in this forest.Copy !req
177. If there's trouble, give me a holler,
and I'll give you a hand.Copy !req
178. Okay!Copy !req
179. How unusual.Copy !req
180. I thought you would say,
"I got to spend the night in a treehouse."Copy !req
181. Yeah, well...Copy !req
182. I kinda got a strong urge
to see my mom and dad.Copy !req
183. That was close!Copy !req
184. Aren't there any other routes
we can take, Akira?!Copy !req
185. This place used to be called
the "Hungry Gorge."Copy !req
186. because of how many people died here.Copy !req
187. Until they opened the tunnel, this was
the route to and from the village!Copy !req
188. Also they say my village started out
as a penal colony long ago.Copy !req
189. Enclosed by steep mountains and valleys...
It's like a remote island on land!Copy !req
190. Hey!Copy !req
191. We somehow managed to cross it.Copy !req
192. Y-You sure grew up in a pretty wild place.Copy !req
193. Would you believe
I was a wild child myself?!Copy !req
194. Yeah, I believe it.Copy !req
195. But thanks to all this...Copy !req
196. It's very likely that everyone
in the village is still safe!Copy !req
197. We're here.Copy !req
198. That's my home,
where I was born and raised!Copy !req
199. Have I given anything back to my parents
since becoming an adult?Copy !req
200. Their birthdays and my first paycheck...Copy !req
201. I had plenty of opportunities,Copy !req
202. but I never really thought about it
until now.Copy !req
203. Dad... Mom...Copy !req
204. I'll be home soon!Copy !req
205. N-No way...Copy !req
206. Where's everyone from the village?!Copy !req
207. Dad. Mom!Copy !req
208. Akira!Copy !req
209. This can't be happening.Copy !req
210. This can't be happening, right?!Copy !req
211. Please! I'm begging you!
Please be safe!Copy !req
212. Dad! Mom!Copy !req
213. Hey, yo! Yo, ho!Copy !req
214. Drink! Dance!Copy !req
215. And a'yo ho ho!Copy !req
216. Hey, yo ho! What's this?Copy !req
217. A-Aren't you Akira, Tendo's kid?Copy !req
218. Teruo! Akiko! Akira has come back!Copy !req
219. What?Copy !req
220. Akira? Akira, is that you?Copy !req
221. Dad...Copy !req
222. Dad! Thanks for working hard everyday
non-stop to put me through college!Copy !req
223. Mom! Thanks for packing me lunch everyday
and washing my rugby club uniforms!Copy !req
224. I wouldn't be alive today
if it weren't for the both of you!Copy !req
225. I've just given you nothing
but troubles and worries.Copy !req
226. Also!Copy !req
227. I've never done anything for you!Copy !req
228. I used work as an excuse to not visit you
for the past three years.Copy !req
229. I'm sorry! I'm really sor—Copy !req
230. That hurts! What was that for?Copy !req
231. Ya came back here
just to spill that nonsense?Copy !req
232. The world's a mess.
Think a little before you act.Copy !req
233. Nonsense?Copy !req
234. Y'all Akira's friends?Copy !req
235. You must've had a tough time
crossing that dangerous path.Copy !req
236. We've got plenty of empty rooms,
so get some rest for now.Copy !req
237. Oh, thank you!Copy !req
238. Thank you very much!Copy !req
239. I leave the rest to you, dear.Copy !req
240. I'm off to the fields.Copy !req
241. Your dad's not the man I'd pictured.Copy !req
242. -All right, we should get to work too!
-All right!Copy !req
243. We have wild plants we forage in the
mountains and vegetables from our fields.Copy !req
244. We're a small village with nothing fancy,
but please make yourself at home.Copy !req
245. Thank you very much, ma'am!Copy !req
246. Thanks for the food!Copy !req
247. Whoa! This is so good!Copy !req
248. So this is tempura!Copy !req
249. Have you been locked down here
sustaining yourselvesCopy !req
250. all this time in the village?Copy !req
251. Yes, we're a remote villageCopy !req
252. that's pretty much sealed off
every winter anyway with all the snow.Copy !req
253. We've always survived the winter
by farming and hunting.Copy !req
254. So, this spot of trouble
isn't trouble at all.Copy !req
255. I see.Copy !req
256. If I may ask...Copy !req
257. The zombies in the tunnel...Copy !req
258. A lot of people from the city
tried to take shelter hereCopy !req
259. when they heard rumors
that this village was safe.Copy !req
260. But some of them were infected and spread
the infection to those around them.Copy !req
261. We had no choice but to seal the tunnel.Copy !req
262. Stopped the infection in its tracks.Copy !req
263. I'm really glad
you and the others are safe!Copy !req
264. Anyway, a number of people from the city
managed to survive.Copy !req
265. This village has been losing residents
for a while,Copy !req
266. so there are many empty houses.Copy !req
267. We let them use those and live with us.Copy !req
268. Wunderbar!Copy !req
269. Akira!Copy !req
270. We should add historic home renovations
on your list!Copy !req
271. Whoa! That's a good one!Copy !req
272. Hold on now!Copy !req
273. There was a reason why I came back
to my parents' place!Copy !req
274. I haven't repaid Mom and Dad!Copy !req
275. I have to be a good son!Copy !req
276. 31. GO HOME AND SPEND TIME WITH MY PARENTS
-I have to be a good son!Copy !req
277. This is truly a glimpse of old Japan.Copy !req
278. I wasn't even born here, but I feel like
I've returned to my hometown.Copy !req
279. What’s this feeling of nostalgia?Copy !req
280. -Right?
-Right?Copy !req
281. Oh! You don't need to do that!Copy !req
282. I'll wash the dishes for you!
You can just sit back!Copy !req
283. Really?Copy !req
284. Anyway, look, I got you a souvenir!
It's Biyoko Tweats, a Tokyo specialty!Copy !req
285. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
286. Oh! Are you tired?
Want me to massage your shoulders?Copy !req
287. I'm all right.Copy !req
288. Then how about
I take you on a trip somewhere!Copy !req
289. How about a hot spring?Copy !req
290. I found a really amazing spring
in the mountains recently.Copy !req
291. Akira.Copy !req
292. Thanks for worrying about me,Copy !req
293. but aren't you exhausted
from your long journey?Copy !req
294. I can do the dishes myself,
so get some rest.Copy !req
295. Hey, Akira.Copy !req
296. Could use your help if you're free.Copy !req
297. H-How have you been lately?Copy !req
298. Have your backaches gone away?Copy !req
299. Nah. It's the same as always.Copy !req
300. Dad, you've really been doing this
by yourself?Copy !req
301. Working the fields sure is hard work!Copy !req
302. Nah, it's not that bad.Copy !req
303. But now that I'm here,
I can help you with anything!Copy !req
304. You can count on me for--Copy !req
305. Everyone in the village must work together
to do their part.Copy !req
306. Everyone knows that.Copy !req
307. Th-That's true.Copy !req
308. I'm having trouble
making Mom and Dad happy.Copy !req
309. This is so difficult!Copy !req
310. How do you...Copy !req
311. repay your parents?Copy !req
312. Don't expect I've got much time left...Copy !req
313. Dad!Copy !req
314. The green beans were ready to harvest.Copy !req
315. This should be enough for dinner...Copy !req
316. Uh, Dad?Copy !req
317. -Is something--
-Nah. It's nothing.Copy !req
318. Oh...Copy !req
319. Those guys came from the city.Copy !req
320. That guy...
I've seen him before.Copy !req
321. A-Are we really doing this?Copy !req
322. Of course we are.Copy !req
323. JOB SEARCH
-Just 23,000 Yen
for contract work? And no bonus?Copy !req
324. Just 23,000 Yen
for contract work? And no bonus?Copy !req
325. Do they think I'm stupid?Copy !req
326. I guess working really is for losers.Copy !req
327. Damn it!Copy !req
328. I should've had that old lady get me more.Copy !req
329. What a pain!Copy !req
330. When and why did I start falling behind
those around me?Copy !req
331. A life of being unwanted
by society and by others.Copy !req
332. I wish I could go back to summer breakCopy !req
333. in grade school when I didn't
have to think about anythingCopy !req
334. and I could go to the pool with my friends
every day and do whatever I wanted.Copy !req
335. Help me!Copy !req
336. Stop it!Copy !req
337. Wh-What the hell is that?Copy !req
338. Yes!Copy !req
339. I'm free!Copy !req
340. I was unwanted by those guys and society!Copy !req
341. And they've all...
They've all been destroyed!Copy !req
342. From now on, it's summer break every day!Copy !req
343. Going to the public pool by yourself
during summer break is pretty lame.Copy !req
344. Hey, you three.Copy !req
345. Do ya wanna have some fun together?Copy !req
346. TRY OUT ANY AND EVERY...Copy !req
347. Fire a real gun...Copy !req
348. Blow something up with dynamite.Copy !req
349. Burn down the company that insulted me.Copy !req
350. I wanna force my tongue
down a girl's throat!Copy !req
351. Slap my bitch of a wife!Copy !req
352. We've all been rejected by society.Copy !req
353. It's our turn to have fun
and do whatever we want.Copy !req
354. Our last summer break!Copy !req
355. We're all just waiting to become zombies.Copy !req
356. But while we're waiting...Copy !req

358. 100 THINGS WE WANT TO DO

359. Being boredCopy !req
360. With nothing but efficient daysCopy !req
361. Sure that's fineCopy !req

363. When I think today could be my lastCopy !req
364. Steve would start to make a bitter smile;
Let's start somethingCopy !req
365. Life & DeathCopy !req
