Chapter 685 A Heartwarming Movie (Part 2)

After dropping Rin off at kindergarten, Daikichi rushed off to work.

Although every day is busy and tiring, the thought of being able to happily spend time with Xiaolin makes it all worthwhile.

Moreover, the attitude of Xiaolin's parents, who initially did not accept her, has changed, and the two sides are getting along more and more harmoniously.

That irresponsible mother never appeared again.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Daji hopes this wonderful life can continue forever.

However, things didn't go as planned. One day, he suddenly received a call from the kindergarten, where he received some devastating news—

Xiao Lin has disappeared!
Daji's hands and feet immediately turned ice cold.

A heart-wrenching pain instantly overwhelmed me, as if I had lost my dearest loved one.

He immediately lost all interest in going to work and rushed to the kindergarten without thinking.

Just like Daikichi, who was extremely anxious, the audience also felt a pang of anxiety upon learning that Rin was missing.

They had all grown fond of this strong, lovely, and pitiful little girl, and no one wanted anything to happen to her.

Kind people like Ms. Kobayashi have begun to silently pray: Please, Rin, be safe and sound!

When Daikichi arrived at the kindergarten, panting, he unexpectedly bumped into Maria Futani, who was also rushing there in a hurry.

It turns out that not only Rin was missing, but also Yuki Futani.

The two parents looked at each other, filled with worry.

Where did they go?

……

Just as Daji and the others were getting anxious, two small figures arrived at a cemetery.

"Mom said that Dad sleeps here."

Yuki Futani led Rin to a tombstone and pointed at it, saying...

It turned out that this was his father's grave.

The two six-year-old children may not fully understand what death means, nor do they understand why their father, who should be holding them and laughing, is now resting beneath this tombstone.

All they knew was that they really, really missed their dad.

At this moment, two children, both "abandoned" by their fathers, stood helplessly in the cemetery, sharing the same plight.

Yuki cried out sadly, "Dad~ Dad~ I want to see you so much!"

The child's most sincere longing revealed the most extreme sorrow, bringing tears to the eyes of the audience outside the screen.

Yuki's mournful cry made Rin, who had also lost her father, unable to hold back her tears any longer, and she also began to cry.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, tears of longing flowed like a spring, and the two small figures seemed about to be swallowed up by despair.

"Waaaah, poor Rin and Yuki..."

Seeing the two pitiful and lonely figures, the audience was moved to tears. Ms. Kobayashi buried her face in her hands and wept, as if she couldn't bear to look at the pitiful figures.

Shiratori Ninzaburo hesitated for a moment, then carefully reached out and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Although the anticipated intimate contact occurred, he had no ulterior motives at the moment. The two crying figures on the screen also made him feel the same way, leaving him with a rather unpleasant feeling.

Takagi Wataru, Sato Miwako, and countless other viewers felt the same way.

In this situation, the audience felt nothing but endless pity and affection for the two children.

The two young actresses, Enma Ai and Juanchuan Hehui, captivated the audience with their superb acting skills.

Overwhelmed with emotion, the film critics once again praised the two child prodigies.

This scene is enough to become a classic!
The Higashi couple were also deeply moved; so this was the child who had lost a loved one...

One can't help but ask oneself, did they want Mary to become like that?

Was my decision right or wrong?
at the same time.

Daji mobilized all his coworkers and relatives to search everywhere, but no matter how hard they searched, they could not find the two children.

Just when Daikichi and Maria Nitani were on the verge of collapse, the two children returned on their own.

"Rin!"

"Sachiki!"

Seeing Daikichi hugging Rin tightly in his arms and crying tears of joy, the audience's sorrowful mood suddenly lifted.

Xiao Lin is both unfortunate and fortunate.

Because she had a second father. A man who loved her more than anyone else in the world.

They are not related by blood, but they have feelings and bonds that are deeper than blood ties.

……

"To be honest, I don't know if it's good for Xiaolin to be with me."

"However, when we first met..."

"That lonely, sad Rin is now holding my hand, smiling innocently."

"That's good."

……

Under Daji's monologue, the two figures, one big and one small, leaned on each other and walked hand in hand in the warm sunset.

The twilight cast its glow upon their two happy, smiling faces, as if filling them with a tenderness that allowed their worlds to blossom...

The scene is frozen.

The soothing end credits song flowed into everyone's ears.

When the lights in the screening room came on, not a single person got up to leave.

Everyone sat quietly in their seats, silently savoring the entire movie.

Scenes of Daikichi and Rin's time together flashed through my mind; their ordinary experiences were filled with touching and sincere emotions.

Like a gentle stream, it flowed into everyone's heart.

Despite being a drama film with no particularly exciting scenes, audiences found it exceptionally captivating.

It has a power to cleanse the soul!

A long while later, after the credits had finished rolling, enthusiastic applause suddenly erupted in the screening room.

"This movie is so good!"

"I feel healed!"

"I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I was really heartbroken, but now I'll let that damn jerk go to hell!"

"Rin is so cute!"

"I really hope to find a man like Daiki!"

"..."

The audience erupted in cheers, all praising the film.

Similar scenes are also taking place in cinemas across the country.

"Bunny Drop" has no explosive action scenes, no dazzling special effects, and no intense emotional outbursts.

There is only a warm bond between a 27-year-old young man and a 6-year-old girl.

There is laughter, tears, regrets, and touching moments... just like everyone's life.

It's simple and ordinary, yet it's touching enough!
Hearing the praise, a confident smile quietly appeared on Ono Takeshi's lips.

This is sure!

……

The movie ended.

Mr. Higashio looked at his wife, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's... reconsider Maria's upbringing."

"Ah."

Mrs. Higashio nodded.

Higashio Maria looked up and saw her parents looking at her with reassuring smiles on their faces...

……

Immediately after the movie ended, feedback about it spread rapidly online.

People are eager to say something about "Usagi Drop," about Daikichi and Rin.

Without a doubt, the vast majority of them were positive reviews.

The film review by Rena Mizunashi, Takeshi Ono's go-to film critic, received the most recognition.

The title is—

A heartwarming movie
