Chapter 683 A Heartwarming Movie (Part 1)

Because he had to take Rin to school, and the kindergarten was too far from the company, Daikichi was late for his first day of work.

I had to work overtime again that night, and by the time Daji ran all the way to the kindergarten, it was already completely dark.

The kindergarten was deserted, except for a small figure waiting alone under the tree.

The moment Daji appeared, panting heavily, a faint smile appeared on the girl's previously forlorn face.

She knew that what she feared had not happened; Daji had not abandoned her like her father had.

From now on, I will no longer be alone...

As the audience watched the two figures, one big and one small, walking hand in hand on the way home on the big screen, they couldn't help but smile like doting aunts.

Although the plot hasn't had many ups and downs so far, and it's all been just ordinary daily life, whether it's Daikichi's initial flustered attempts to take care of Rin, or the little moments they share afterward, it all exudes a warm feeling.

The little girl, who had lost her father, was seen as a nuisance by her entire family. A busy, single man, unable to bear it any longer, adopted the little girl.

The warmth emanating from this wonderful pairing soothed the restless hearts of the audience like a gentle breeze, allowing everyone to feel from the bottom of their hearts what seemed to be the most beautiful emotion in the world.

Daji thought he was just being cool for a moment, but they ended up healing each other in the process of spending time together.

Having received Daikichi's love, Rin became more cheerful.

She would hug Daji's leg on the subway, refuse to admit that she wet the bed, roll a rice ball with her little hands, and share stories with Daji about her "grandpa" dad. Her wounds are gradually healing.
Daikichi, in Rin's smile and in the rice ball she handed him, felt a warmth he had never felt before, which dispelled the loneliness in his heart.

Although Daji encountered unprecedented difficulties in taking care of his child, and was so busy every day that he had no time for himself and was overwhelmed with worry about his sick child, he came to understand his mother's hard work and also gained happiness and satisfaction from this heavy responsibility.

They played video games together, ate fried chicken together, planted a gentian in the yard together, and enjoyed the beauty they brought each other...

They offered each other warmth and healed each other in the process.

This "healing" power was also conveyed to the audience in front of the screen through every little thing that Daikichi and Rin did together.

This is why the audience highly praised the acting skills of the two leads, especially the adorable "Little Rin," who won everyone's hearts.

With her expressive eyes, Enma Ai clearly conveyed her emotions to the audience: loneliness, desolation, sadness, cheerfulness, playfulness, happiness...

She successfully portrayed the character "Xiao Lin" without needing to use many words.

The title of 'child prodigy' is well-deserved.

Subaru Okiya (Shuichi Akai), who plays the "nephew's father," also puts on a very cute act.

Holding a little girl in one arm while squeezing onto the subway, always having a gentle expression, and occasionally fantasizing about female models in magazines, all these details give people a real understanding of "Daji".

His acting skills also drew admiration from many.

Thanks to the performances of two master actors, this film, which should have seemed rather ordinary, became exceptionally captivating.

In the audience, watching Daikichi and Rin's interactions, the Higashio family of three fell into a silent silence once again...

The movie continued playing.

Over the weekend, Daji took Xiaolin to the mall to buy a schoolbag, and the sensible Xiaolin only picked the cheapest one because she knew how hard Daji worked to earn money.

Xiaolin picked out another pair of sneakers for Daji.

Wearing the shoes the girl picked out, Daji felt full of energy every day as he ran on the road.

Xiaolin's happiest moment each day is seeing Daikichi come to pick her up.

All the fatigue and torment will vanish the moment the two meet.

Despite the fact that Daikichi tirelessly picked up and dropped off Xiaolin every day without complaining, he felt both heartache and guilt when he saw the girl fall asleep on the subway on her way home.

He could manage the hardship himself, but she was only a six-year-old child; she wouldn't be able to keep going like this every day. After much internal struggle, in order to better care for Xiaolin, Daikichi finally made a decision—

He applied to his superiors for a transfer to a factory warehouse where he wouldn't have to work overtime at all.

Although I moved from an office to a factory and my salary wasn't as high as before, I can spend more time with my child.

The audience was initially surprised by Daikichi's decision, but soon showed their admiration.

Parents, in particular, can fully understand Daji's feelings.

This also shows that he really loves Xiaolin very much.

What started as a youth acting on impulse has transformed into a man who bravely takes on responsibilities.

Seeing Daikichi's "self-sacrifice" in taking care of the child, Mr. Higashio shifted uncomfortably and couldn't help but look at his daughter, only to meet another pair of eyes.

Mr. Higashio and Mrs. Higashio exchanged a glance and remained silent.

They then looked at Higashio Maria at the same time, and looking at the little girl, a hint of hesitation and struggle appeared in their eyes.

There seemed to be a hint of self-reproach in her voice.

Maria Higashio was oblivious to her parents' reactions; her eyes were glued to the girl on the screen.

A hint of envy flickered in his eyes.

Although she has lost her parents, she still has someone who loves her so much by her side.

And myself...

Noticing the sadness in their daughter's eyes, the Higashi couple opened their mouths, hesitated, and began to reflect on their decision for the first time.

Mr. Higashio turned to look at the big screen. The young man on the screen, who shouldn't have taken on the responsibility but was giving his all for it, seemed more like a father than himself...

Although Daikichi was used to sitting in an office, he found it quite challenging to start doing entry-level work at first. However, the thought of having more time to spend with Rin made him realize that it was all worthwhile.

Rin was finally able to transfer to a kindergarten that was very close to her home.

Here, she met her first friend, a mischievous but kind little boy named Yuki Futani.

Daikichi also meets Futani Yukiki's mother, Futani Maria, a beautiful and sexy single mother.

The two met because of their child, and Maria Nitani provided Daikichi with a lot of help in raising the child.

The two gradually drew closer.

Young, single men full of vigor seem to have ushered in their spring.

I just didn't expect spring to be so short.

Daikichi, who has fallen for Maria Nitani, decides to take the plunge and carefully prepares a confession.

Unfortunately, this resulted in Maria Nitani's rejection.

This result left the audience disappointed.

They all thought that auspicious spring had arrived, but unfortunately, it all ended without a trace.

The audience did not criticize the "realistic" Maria Nitani. Although she chose to refuse because of Daikichi's conditions, her original intention was also for her son's future.

She even sacrificed her own feelings for this, giving up on Daikichi, whom she also had feelings for.

Perhaps, this is what it means to be a parent.
