01x04 - What Will Be, Will Be

[bunniefuu]

Papa! Papa!

Lemme do it!

I wanna do it!

Lemme do it! Lemme do it!

I'll do it really good!

Pour it right here, then.

Gently, though.

Gently...

Sorry!

One more time! One more time!

Okay.

I wanna do it!

Hey.

Hey...

Hey!

Lemme do it!

Hey, don't—

Sorry!

Sorry!

Sorry!

Sorry!

Papa!

Watch me! Watch me!

I'm exhausted.

Yeah, dunno how much longer I can take this.

Especially when we gotta score a job soon...

Futaba Daycare

Daycare?

Hey, I want to love, is this true love?

Is just wanting to be loved insincere?

What should I do?

Oh, what should I do?

As usual, the whole city

Is madly in love and excited

Extras like me just go home

But I'm not sulking at all

And then you appeared suddenly

As though you were ripping
through those days

With your smile that leaves me numb

You shattered my heart

Hey, I want to love, is this true love?

Is just wanting to be loved insincere?

What should I do?

Oh, what should I do?

How the heck should I know?

I don't know what's going on in your head

But it's not fair that you're so friendly

Once again, I'm being
swallowed up by your rhythm

There you go, you've got me
wrapped around your finger again

There you go, you've got me
wrapped around your finger again

Daycare... Daycare...

daycare near me

daycare

daycare english

daycare big

There.

What's a daycare?

A place where pretty ladies are nice to you,

and sea bream and flounder swim freely!

Wow, is it?

I wanna go!

Sea bream and flounder in a tuna salad!

Wow, there are actually a bunch nearby.

Daycares and preschools and stuff...

Daycare? Preschool?

It's the same thing with a different name.

Like maguro and hamachi?

Maguro's tuna. Buri and
hamachi are both amberjack.

Our carers are invested in your children.
We'll watch over them warmly as they grow!

A free-range approach to play encourages health and independence.

A place like this would help us out a ton!

A free-range approach to play encourages health and independence.

Lots of physical activity will help them
develop the muscles and balance needed in daily life.

We teach art and music to foster
your children's rich inner life.

Guess I'll call in!

What? No new enrollments?

Why?!

You're full?

Why?!

Go to the government office?

Why?!

I don't get it!

Why do I gotta go to the government
office to enroll her in daycare?!

And what's that all about?

Daycare time!

Wow, daycare's big!

That's the government office.

What a pain in the ass.

Excuse me. I'd like to
inquire about daycare...

Daycare inquiries are handled at the
Childcare Department on the fourth floor.

R-Right...

Hello, there!

Please take a number and
wait until you're called.

Reception Number

Now serving the following numbers.

Now serving the following numbers.

In order to enroll in daycare,

you must undergo a government process

that starts with submitting
the appropriate paperwork.

But there are numerous openings
for four-year-olds,

so once you submit the paperwork
and pass a screening,

she should be able to start right away.

The necessary documents
are inside this envelope.

We'll also need proof
of parental employment,

preferably something stating your
position with the company stamp.

If you're self-employed,

you'll need to provide some additional
items, such as a tax return—

This paperwork is k*lling me!

A freakin' hitman can't prove gainful
employment or household income!

Can't we just bribe someone?

Yeah, right!

No!

You're mean, Papa! You lied!

You said I was going to daycare!

You make women cry a lot, huh?

Fine, fine!

I just gotta cook up some forgeries, right?

What's "forgeries"?

Lying paperwork, basically.

I'll hack into the government database and
mess with my certificate of residence too.

Don't want anyone looking at my past too hard.

This bad business we're in comes in handy.

Bad business?

That's grown-up talk! Never you mind!

It means Papa Kazuki's
getting you into daycare.

Hooray!

First Choice

Yumeboshi Daycare

Municipal Welfare Office

So he said we could check out places while
we wait for the official go-ahead...

Daycare! Daycare! Daycare! Daycare!

There's some close by,
so no time like the present.

Let's go!

Pretty nerve-wracking, huh?

You're coming, too.

No!

You're my partner. You come!

No!

Yumeboshi Daycare

We're your first choice of daycare, then?

And... you're both fathers?

Oh, well...

I guess we are.

They're both my papa!

Papa Kazuki's good at cooking,

and he did forgeries to get me into daycare!

Right, Papa?

And Papa Rei's good at f*ring
a g*n! Bang, bang, bang!

A g*n?

She means for a game.

Oh, toy g*ns.

No! They said it was a real g*n!

And they do bad business, but that's
grown-up talk, and I shouldn't mind!

Right, Papa?

Excuse us!

Yumeboshi Daycare

You've gotta leave the talking to us, Miri!

She thought we were shady as hell.

Guess that place is off the list.

But I wanna go!

Look, next time someone
asks you a question,

you say, "Just what Papa said!"

or something.

Okay! I'll be a good girl!

I sure hope she gets it...

Aozora Daycare

Listen up... Just like
we practiced it, right?

I'll try hard!

We got the unofficial go-ahead
on our application...

Now, let's pass that interview!

Yeah!

Okay...

Could you tell me your
name and how old you are?

I'm Unasaka Miri and I'm four years old!

I'm Kurusu Kazuki and I'm
twenty-eight years old!

I was just asking her, but thank you!

Two fathers, you say?

There's a story behind that, see...

Just what Papa said!

I see!

But you all have different last names?

There's a story behind that, see?!

Just what Papa said!

I see!

Miri-chan...

Are you happy to have two papas?

Yes!

Papa Kazuki and Papa Rei are
together all the time and friends!

It sounds like you love them a lot!

And they don't do any bad
business or anything!

They don't!

Bad business?

I-Ignore her!

We do perfectly normal business.

We're kind of like... city cleaners.

Are you very busy?

Yes, thank you for asking.

We're underemployed at the moment.

Shut up!

It must be very hard to raise a
child while you're both working!

We'll do our best to help lift your burden.

Feel free to ask us anything!

You mean...

You're free to start attending at any time.

It's nice to have you, Miri-chan!

Yes!

Bottoms up!

That's one problem solved!

It did go well.

We got a call from the government office
that our paperwork was accepted, too.

Now we just gotta look through
this and get it all ready.

About Your Daycare

A Public Welfare Entity
Aozora Daycare

Wow, she needs all this?

Mealtime apron, hat, change of clothes,
slippers, hand towel, nap mat,

cup, toothbrush...

Sweatpants?!

They might do some lifting.

What's a "smock"?

Some kind of cookie?

It's too damn hard!

Well, we can probably pick it
all up at the department store.

What's all this?!

When joining a group living environment,
first impressions are crucial.

You gotta establish dominance
right off the bat.

Really?

A rich kid like you wouldn't know.

The common people form hierarchies based
on the quality of your clothes and gear.

I always got a raw deal there,
so I learned the hard way.

The tried and true way
to approach such situations

is to load up on brand names!

Us, too?

Of course.

The common people take the
parents' style into account too.

Okay!

That should just about cover it!

And now I can go to daycare?

Yes! Starting tomorrow!

Yes!

Thank you, Papa Kazuki!

About Your Daycare

It says we have to write
her name on all her stuff.

Wha? All of it?

Things You Need for Daycare

Please write your name on everything.

Hat, shoes for daycare
Coverlet, towel, pajamas, sweatpants, smock

It says it here.

All of it?

"Sew the name into the coverlet."

How?!

With needle and thread?

Like hell I've got that!

"Sew a loop onto the towel."

A freakin' loop?! What kind of loop?!

This is gibberish!

I won't do it!

So she doesn't need to establish dominance?

Never mind, then.

I'm gonna buy a sewing kit!

Have fun.

Unasaka Miri

Lemme do it!

Okay.

There. Write what you want.

Okay!

I got the kit.

Papa! Welcome home!

I wrote my name!

Unasaka Miri

D-Don't you realize how much that cost?!

Don't you?

Uh-oh. Gotta hurry, not much time!

Damn it... where's the bandages?

Hey, Rei!

Don't go to sleep!

What the hell am I gonna do?!

We'll never make it!

We made it through.

It's your first day, girl.

Get in there and go!

Go!

She's just so picky.

I try to mix green peppers
into the Hamburg steak...

Does that work?

It does, doesn't it?

Oh...

Good morning!

Good morning!

Thank you again for having her.

Miss Anna, are they...

Yes, Unasaka Miri-chan will be
joining Giraffe Class today.

These are her papas!

Wink!

Thank you
Tsumugi's Mama

See you again.
Kotori's Mama

You both look very stylish today!

Almost like mobsters!

Well, we are hitmen.

You think they're rich?!
Yuki's Mama

Your outfit is lovely too, Miri-chan.

Well, I'll show you around the classroom.

Follow me, all right?

When you show up in the morning, we'll ask
you to scan your card to record attendance.

Then she can change clothes here

and hang her towel here.

Her toothbrush and cup can go here.

Like hell I'll remember all that.

Please write her temperature and the
day's events in your notebook every day.

I did that one!

Thank you so much!

February 6th
Starting daycare today.
Exhausted from staying up all night
putting her name on everything.
I just wanna rest today.

Did you write the events from your day?

No, that's fine.

We'd normally like you to
write about your child,

but we have plenty of mamas who
use their notebooks to vent, too.

You wrote events from your day?

Shut up!

Excuse me, ma'am.

Where do I put her lunch?

It's huge!

Papa made it all!

Aw, there's nothing special about this!

Cooking's the one thing
I'm any good at, see...

I'm afraid we provide our own meals here.

I'm sorry, Miri-chan.

Papa's gonna have to take your lunch home.

After we stayed up all night...

You slept!

Well, take care of her!

We'll do our best!

Papas, bye-bye!

Mission complete!

Now let's blow off some long-overdue steam!

Don't be a stranger, Rei-kun!

Wanna play games at home...

Can I play too?

No!

Can I play too?

You'll just get dirty.

Let's go, Hinata-chan.

Yeah.

Yadorigi
Coffee • Light Meals

Good stuff.

Our first time off in a while.

Quite a carefree attitude
you have to unemployment.

Actually... Kyu-chan, we'll do
the job right this time.

Could you slide a little work our way?

I'll think about it.

Crud, it's time to get her!

See you, Kyu-chan!

Papa!

How was your first day? Have fun?

I dunno yet!

Papa!

How'd it go today?

It's not like what I thought...

How was it?

Boring.

Miri—

Hello!

Miss Anna?

Is something the matter?

How's Miri doing in daycare?

Well, I wrote a little
bit in her notebook...

It's about her clothing.

Crud... I didn't read any of it.

It makes her stand out from
the others too much.

She's having trouble making
friends because of it.

Do you have any more ordinary clothes?

Things she could afford to get dirty.

I don't... actually know where
to buy stuff like that.

I know just the place!

Nijimasuya

What is this place?

It's apparently all the
rage with the mothers.

It is?

Shopping!

Packed to the ceiling...

And all of it cheap as hell...

Look at all the toys!

It's paradise!

Pre-looped towels?!

Why didn't anyone tell me?!

And every item here...



So cute!

Play Set

Cork Blocks

Colorful Girl


This place freaking rocks.

I'm gonna be a member!

I want these too!

No problem! Buy all you like!

We could buy the whole store

and it wouldn't add up to the cost
of one of those brand-name suits!

Thank you, Papa!

The ones everyone else rides!

BICYCLE

It's not a mama bike, it's a papa bike!

Great day of shopping!

But we have to write her name—

Quiet, you!

Papa, can I wear this tomorrow?

You sure can!

And you better bring it back covered in mud!

Okay!

Good morning!

Miri-chan!

What a cute outfit!

It really suits you.

Can you do it?

Yeah, maybe we should've made it bigger...

Wanna use this?

Oh, thanks!

Miri, pass!

Okay!

What's he doing?

Your papa's really cool, Miri-chan!

Awesome!

Yeah!

Take it!

You take that one!

Miri, here I go...

Go!

I wanna do it!

Can I play?!

Yeah, let's all play!

Papa!

Gotcha!

Over there!

Over here!

Miri-chan, your papa's here!

Miri-chan, see you tomorrow!

Hinata-chan! Kotori-chan!

Bye-bye!

How'd you like daycare?

It was so fun!

The scenery never changes and
every day is full of surprises

But those are the best parts

Wrapped around your finger
and going in circles

These days are dizzying yet endearing

On your restless nights,
I softly whisper a lullaby

And stroke your hair to the
rhythm of your breathing

I just want these days to
continue as long as possible

Even if it's just a day

I chased after you as you ran barefoot

Maybe one day, you'll surpass me, ah

I wonder what tomorrow's going to be like

Why don't we walk together?

This will always be our place to come home to

And it'll shine down on our sadness

That's all right, yeah, that's okay

Let's try to share our love together

Let the light always shine upon hope

When the future is unpredictable

And now... a present for you!

This is your room from now on!

Thank you, Papa!
