## Synopsis

One rainy day during the season. Miri, who has been spoiled by Rei's constant game-playing, while Kazuki spends another busy day working away at the house chores alone. On this particular day, Kazuki notices a woman on the street and immediately hides himself. Miri and Rei, both picky eaters, start forcing Kazuki's cooking on each other at dinner. Finally, when they tell Kazuki that they want him to make French toast, he snaps and loses his cool with the thoughtlessly wilful duo. The next day, he leaves, leaving a letter behind. Rei, who has never seriously considered caring for Miri, is struggling and at a loss. Meanwhile, Kazuki recalls certain past events.

## Introduction

As Kyutaro greeted the newly arriving Karin at his Yadorigi cafe, she inquired about Kazuki's whereabouts.

A rainy season. Miri is picked up from Aozora Childcare by Kazuki. Miri was dancing her way to Kazuki when she dropped her umbrella, which flew all the way to the center of the roadway and was hit by the speeding vehicle. Kazuki was lucky enough to catch her before she could chase after it. He gets a flashback of another umbrella being destroyed in an occurrence at the time the umbrella was hit by a car and remarks that this is his least favorite time of year.

## Plot

Kazuki informs Rei that he could help out more with Miri after handling most of the cleaning himself. Rei assures him that he is trying his very best. Later, as Rei and Miri are complaining about the meal they don't like, Kazuki snatches their plates and tells them they do not need to eat. This simply makes them whine more, and they want french toast for supper. Ultimately, Kazuki storms off furiously, questioning whether they believe he is only there to be their maid.

The next day, Kazuki leaves a message stating that he will be gone. With Rei and Miri at home alone, he is compelled to step up and prepare breakfast for them. Miri worries whether she's going to daycare while they eat cereal, prompting Rei to realize it was almost noon. He dresses her and prepares her luggage before riding his bike to daycare. Kazuki goes to hide out in Kyutaro's cafe in order to persuade Rei and Miri to help and acknowledge him more. He laments about everything, although Kyutaro insists he had fun. Kyutaro informs Kazuki that his sister-in-law, Karin, has once more returned the funds he provided. Kyutaro suggests that because Karin is Yuzuko's sole family member, Kazuki speak with her in person, but Kazuki decides to depart otherwise.

Kazuki fights with numerous men on the street after spending the day getting wasted with several women along with Dorothy and Carol. Karin falls across him as he awakens, wondering whether he is okay. She tells him how foolish he looks and that Kyutaro has told her everything and that they need to discuss. He attempts to leave, but she shouts that he can't regularly send her money as well as avoid her any longer. Karin informs Kazuki that she will no longer accept his money, and he vows to cease providing it. "It's not like it's your fault my sister died, right?" she says. Kazuki responds that it is his fault, as he killed her.

As Kazuki wanders along the alleyway, a recollection runs across his consciousness. During a job from couple of years ago, Kazuki follows a man through a dark alley, but the man flees in a stolen vehicle. When driving away, the vehicle collides with a gas tanker, which causes an explosion. Yuzuko is crossing the adjoining street at the same moment and is trapped in the explosion before Kazuki can alert her.

The next day, Rei wakes up to find Miri has a fever and is lying above his abdomen, but Kazuki has still not returned home and was riding in a train heading someplace. He tries searching for medicine but finds none for children and takes her to the hospital instead. When he realizes he doesn’t know where the hospital is, he takes her to Kyutaro’s cafe. At the same time, Kazuki is standing right in front of Yuzuko's gravesite in the pouring rain, saying, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten." as he walks away.

Kazuki recounts meeting Yuzuko for the first time when visiting her gravesite. Karin approaches Kazuki and tells him it's been five years, which is already quite long, but he claims it's been too long for him to change. She urges him to try and live his own life in order to make her sister happy before inquiring about the kid he adopted, assuring him that she knows he'll be able to make her happy. Kazuki says he'll give it his best shot. Kazuki returns home to see the house is a mess before finding Miri and Rei asleep in her room.

The next day, Miri and Rei attempt to cook Kazuki french toast for breakfast, but he disapproves of their efforts while smiling and watching the two argue with each other. Kazuki then handed Miri his present, an umbrella to replace the that she had damaged, and she was delighted to get one as she danced with her umbrella.
