Gah! What the hell happened?
Eww. They're covered in moldy stains!
How could this happen?
It must be because of that leak in the ceiling.
Oh crap.
Like, aren't we screwed? The festival is the day after tomorrow!
Let's just throw them all in the washing machine and—
No, don't do that!
If you don't clean the stains and mold before washing,
I don't think you'll ever get them out.
Then what can we do?
I'll treat the stains and then wash them all myself!
Will you make it in time?
Maybe if I stay up all night.
I know you need these garments for the festival, so...
You can count on Kinme!

Kinme Cleaning
Right behind you.
Okay.
Start
Pause
I went ahead and put the ones that were ready in the washer.
Thank you very much.
Sure. I'll take the ones that have been washed upstairs.
I really appreciate you staying so late to help out.
Are you all going to be okay for school tomorrow?
Oh, sure. We'll be totally fine.
But I mean, do you still have a lot of work to do to get the mold out?
Yes, it seems so.
Potassium
One round of stain removal isn't cutting it.
Mold is composed mostly of organic ingredients,
so I apply a neutral detergent at 13% concentration directly to the mold
and then spray it out.
But after that, there's still some discoloration,
so I have to oxygen-bleach that out and try all sorts of treatments.
Jeez. And you have to do them all one by one?
Yes, the stains are different for each one.
I have to keep that in consideration when deciding how much detergent to apply.
Serious? How annoying!
Yes, it is. But as annoying as it can be,
when I think about what I'm restoring
and all the festival memories these outfits hold for people,
I'm happy to do it.
I'm going to do a little more and then take a break myself,
so when you're done with those, go ahead and call it a night.
Please tell the boys they can go too.
Yes, ma'am!
Kinme-san sure does love cleaning.
Meanwhile, this one here...
is sleeping on the job. What a little baby.
Kinme-san, I... made a delicious midnight... snack for you.
Festival
'Sup. Making progress?
Huh? Yeah.
'Kay, here's the last of 'em.
Kinme-san said she'd handle the rest, so we can go home.
How's she doing?
She's still working on the mold stains.
I knew this would've been difficult for her alone.
But I mean, what is Kinme-san's story anyway?
Huh?
Like, wasn't this place abandoned for years?
And I don't think Kinme-san is from around here.
Oh.
Yeah, I think she said she moved to Atami two years ago.
Hmm, really? Just to open a cleaning shop?
Dunno. She didn't say why.
My memory only goes back two years.
It seems I washed all my older memories clean away.
So you don't know either, huh.
Anyway, I'm pooped.
I'm gonna head home and get some sleep. Good night.
Yeah.
Kinme-san! We're taking off.
Oh, should we come back to help tomorrow?
I think I can handle the rest by myself. Thank you, though.
Sorry about my dumb brother.
He made rice but didn't put anything together to eat.
Oh, it's fine.
But thank you for everything today. It really helped!
Kuriru-chan really does act like the older one.
I mean, for a boy, you are so scrawny.
I'd better get some rest before I wear myself out too.
You should probably start heading home, Kyusho-kun.
I'll hang up the rest myself.
Actually, this is the last one.
Good. Finished.
She has to treat stains, wash, hang clothes to dry, and then iron them,
while also making pickups and deliveries?
Cleaning is a lot more labor-intensive than I thought.
Oh, I'm all done, Kinme-san.
Oh shoot! I must have dozed off!
The lights are off. Has Kyusho-kun already left?
Yeah, he might have caught me sleeping again.
Please don't work too hard

Festival
Just in time.
Welcome.
When I talked to her, she said they were all ready to go,
so I thought we should come and help her carry them, but...
Is she even here?
Kinme-san, are you in?
What a messy sleeper.
By the way, I wanted to apologize about yesterday.
I was gonna cook up a midnight snack but fell asleep.
Oh, it's all right. I ended up falling asleep myself.
And Kyusho-kun saw how sloppily I sleep again.
Hi, everyone.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Wow, you can't tell that they were moldy at all!
Thanks, Kinme-san. Talk about professional work!
They look brand new.
My pleasure.
Seriously, thank you, though.
Kyu told me how much work it was.
It's all thanks to them.
I never would've made it without the help of Kyusho-kun and his friends.
I am glad that everyone is pleased, though.
Kinme-oneesan!
Oh, Nairo-chan! Good evening.
Good evening!
I'm sorry I couldn't stay to see all of your rehearsal the other day.
That's okay!
You got busy washing all of the happi coats for us!
Thank you!
Are you going to come and see the parade tomorrow?
Yes, I think so. I'm planning to come and watch after work.
Kinme-san!
Hey.
Look at you all! You really look the part!
Thanks, Kinme-san!
We hope you can come and see us in action!
Right, Kyu?
Uh... Yeah.
It is time once again for the Kogashi Festival float competition!
Let's go win the wooden dashi category once again this year!
Yeah!
Yeah, let's do it!
Let's get hyped up!

Here, Poly-chan.
Good morning, Kinme-san.
Come on in. Are you here to pick up the suit? It's ready for you.
I'm so glad we have good weather for the festival.
Yes.
So am I.
All right! All right!
Stop!
Heave-ho!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

Kinme-san.
Oh, Nairo-chan's grandmother? Good evening!
Aren't the floats wonderful this year?
Yes!
Hurray! Hurray!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Look, it's Nairo and the kids!
Nairo, you're doing great!
Nairo-chan!
Heave-ho!
Hey!
Yeah!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
They're all going to have such fond memories of this night,
wearing the happi coats I washed for them.
Heave-ho!
Oh, Kinme-san! Yoo-hoo!
What?
For some reason, I have a feeling...
this night will become a fond memory for me as well.
Oh!
Hello, you two.
Whoa, nice timing!
Why doncha help us pull the float, Kinme-san?
Huh?
We're about to turn around and go back.
Uh, is that all right?
Of course! And how about a beer as thanks?
Uh... I'd better not drink.
You sure? Anyway, come and join in!
Okay!
Kinme-san, take this. It's from our neighborhood association.
Oh... all right!
Here we go! Ready and...
One, two! One, two!
Nice work, guys!
Thanks! I'm beat!
Oh! Great job, folks!
Hello! You were all great today!
Oh, it's Kinme-san again. You too!
Yeah, really!
Wait, you don't have a beer?
I'm not much of a drinker.
Okay, so, what did you think? Didn't I look cool up there?
I really got into it!
Yes, you all looked very cool, way up on the top of the float like that.
Very impressive!
Aw, man! You seriously thought I looked cool?
Kuriru-chan, Moruda-kun, could I borrow you a sec?
I mean, you really inspired me, Kinme-san.
Hey, let's go.
Just call me Moruda, lord of the float!
What are you mumbling about anyway?
Would you like to get on the float?
Huh?
What? Is that all right?
With a mask on, nobody will know it's you. Should be no problem at all.
Let's go.
I really hope this is okay.
You can use that ladder to get up.
Uh, all right!
Oh, I'd better put the mask on first.
Huh?
Watch out!
Kinme-san! Kyu! Are you okay?
Did you tell her to climb on?
Don't you know how dangerous that is?
Sorry.
Are you really okay, Kyu?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Thank goodness.
Are you sure you aren't injured?
I'm all right.
But I am a little embarrassed for causing such a fuss.
I'm so sorry, Kinme-san.
Oh, no. It was my fault too.
U-Um, I'm really not hurt at all, so...
Kyusho-kun risked his neck to catch you.
Just what were you thinking?
I said I'm sorry.
Kinme-san's never done this before.
You've got to keep an eye on her!
Yeah, uh, I just...
This could have been a lot worse!
Kyusho-kun, thank you very much.
Huh? Uh... sure.
Kinme-san, I really am so sorry.
Honestly, I'm not hurt at all, so please don't worry about it.
