-Riko, take care of these. -Okay.
I'm back.
-Welcome back. -Great work.
I said, "I'm back."
I slept with Yoshimoto.
We were together till the morning.
I'm back.
"Welcome back!" Great job.
That's what you're supposed to say.
Isn't that the basics to communication?
-Isn't it rude? -Riko, pass these out for me.
-Okay. -Ignoring someone the whole day.
I like how quiet it is though.
I'll make tea!
If you don't, then don't do something like that!
I don't want to hear that from you.
Hiding your true feelings
and being with someone else…
You should know how lonely that feels better than anybody.
The person you like…
The person you really like isn't even me!
Here.
Everyone, the sweet buns are really good. Please take some.
Really? Well, don't mind if I do.
I wanted to receive them from Riko.
Is there red bean paste?
That's sweet potato.
Where are they from?
Tadokoro Printing sent them.
Would you like some?
Here.
Oh, it has sesame seeds.
What am I doing?
There's no water…
What's this sound?
Yes, I understand.
-Excuse me. -Welcome back.
Here you go.
-I'm heading out. -Okay.
-Katagiri! -Yes?
-I just got a call from Shinoyama Foods. -What?
Their public relations department wants the materials by tomorrow.
That's pretty sudden.
The chief over there is always like that.
Tomorrow…
Then shall I put everything together and surprise them?
Can you do that?
I wonder if I'll make it. I'd need to make a chart too.
Oh…
I'm sure I can do it if Uesugi helps.
Uesugi, can you work late tonight?
Of course.
-Oh, great. I'm counting on you. -Okay.
-I'm off. -See you.
Our usual translator couldn't make it, so I called her as a replacement.
That was why.
I'm sure it'll go smoothly, so you can take the day off afterwards.
We haven't gone out in a while. How about dinner afterwards?
You're right. Let's do that.
I'm so excited.
Oh…
Thank you for everything.
This is your chance for a new life.
Thank you very much.
Take care.
Okay then, I'll borrow your fiancée.
Oh, yes.
-Think about where you want to eat. -Yeah.
You've always been like that.
You never stray from the path.
In the end, the only person you love is yourself.
Yes… Okay. No…
It's a little hard to read.
Chief, we should go.
-Right. -I'll leave this to you.
Okay.
I sent the fax first thing this morning.
-I'm heading out. -Goodbye.
Goodbye!
-See you. -Goodbye.
Yes, if it isn't 400, it'll be a little difficult.
Hey…
You know, the other day…
Hello?
Hello, Riko?
It's me.
Oh, Yoshimoto!
What?
Thanks for the other night! It was great.
Oh, I get it.
Teppei is there, isn't he?
How soon can we meet again?
Why are you doing something like this?
Tonight?
But I'm working late right now.
You'll wait for me?
What should I do?
I think I've got some nice panties on today.
Oh, the one with strawberries you don't want anyone to see?
It doesn't matter. I'll take them off anyway.
Gosh. Then, I'll meet you after I'm finished here.
Yeah, I'll see you later. Wait for me.
Wait…
Hello?
Come on…
I had something to say to her.
You can leave now. See you.
Yay!
I wanna sing the next one.
-I'm next. -I'm next. I want to sing "Amagi-goe."
-Hey, wait! -I'm singing "Amagi-goe."
Come on…
Hey.
Doing something that'll make him hate you…
It's just going to pile stress on you.
That's why I'm letting it all out.
You're okay continuing like this?
Yeah.
It makes things easier if he hates me.
It's my song.
Why do you always choose enka?
Enka was made for times like these.
-I want to sing too. -What?
-Let me sing. -There's another microphone there.
You got the lyric wrong.
It was a small mistake.
Welcome.
Long time no see.
Man, how many years has it been?
-Four years, maybe? -That's right.
Oh, whiskey, on the rocks, please.
Okay.
The two of you stopped coming suddenly.
I thought you had gotten married or moved.
We broke up.
Really?
I…
left her.
Her mother
had been imprisoned for assault before.
And the one she stabbed was her father.
In order to protect my future as a public prosecutor,
I cut ties with her.
Idiot!
Do you think we can give them bad performance data like this?
You need to tweak these kinds of data a little.
You got the revised figures, didn't you?
-Well? -What?
Revised?
I'm sorry. I was careless.
We couldn't just hand them these documents,
so it seems they finished the meeting without it.
I'll be going to apologize. You come too.
-Excuse me, Chief-- -I'll correct it and bring a new one.
Don't bother. The meeting's already over.
Please let me try, or I won't feel right.
Do as you wish.
I'm sorry.
Hello?
What was that?
Why didn't you tell the chief it was my fault?
It's my fault too.
I thought you were ignoring me.
You know it's meaningless to be nice to me.
Something bad is happening in Mr. Katagiri's apartment.
Water started leaking. I think his room might be flooded.
Leaking? Flooded?
Well, that may be, but…
He's out of the office right now, yes…
I'll tell him as soon as he gets back.
Oh, okay. Yes, goodbye.
Who was that?
-Teppei's landlady. -Really?
A pipe burst, so there's water everywhere.
-Oh, wow. -What?
We should call him.
Yeah.
But he's apologizing to a client right now, right?
He won't be able to just leave in the middle.
That's true.
Are you closed today?
Yes.
Good evening.
All right.
It's fixed!
-Oh, thank you so much! -Not at all.
What did he do to end up like this?
Oh, thank you.
I've had to close the restaurant all day.
Well, I'll be going.
Thank you.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Thank you.
Hello.
Good evening.
Oh, wow.
Everything is soaked.
That's enough for today.
I'm very sorry.
Chief Yoshida. Excuse me.
-Excuse me. -Katagiri.
PICKLED SCALLIONS SHINOYAMA FOODS
The data wasn't ready for the meeting.
Of course it got rejected. Let's go.
But still…
Hello.
I know you've worked hard on it,
but you can't overdo it.
I'm not overdoing it.
Immediate results aren't everything.
If you don't learn to let some things go,
you won't make it long as a businessman.
Then…
what about what we're doing now?
If everything is one step towards my future,
I want to put my all into each step.
And what if it doesn't go so smoothly?
Well, if I worried too much about failure,
I would always be shrinking back to avoid getting hurt.
That would be really lame.
Lame?
Rock, paper, scissors!
Teppei, what's up? Everyone's here.
Oh, thanks.
-Zero! -Zero!
-Seven! -Bang!
What's up lately? You've been busy?
You haven't even called.
But don't you have…
another date with Riko tonight?
With Riko-chan? A date?
-Me? -What?
-What's that about?
-What? -J-Just a second.
There we go.
You had a fever and passed out?
Yeah. I think so.
What? What do you mean?
I had a fever then, so I got drunk right away.
I woke up on the floor of her apartment.
Riko-chan already left for work by then.
You didn't sleep with her if you were on the floor, right?
I guess not.
You're right.
Then why would she lie to me?
She likes you, Teppei.
She can't be honest about it.
Please understand.
Hey, let's get back to the party.
-Okay? -Let's go.
Yay!
I think I'll actually go home.
-What? Teppei! -Sorry.
What happened?
Welcome back!
A water pipe burst, and everything got soaked.
-Soichiro got a call from your landlady. -Really?
A water pipe? Where?
The repairman already fixed it. Don't worry.
-Really? -Yeah.
Sorry. Thanks for all this.
Everything is wet.
My underwear…
I'm only here because the guys at the office asked me to come by.
-Would you please tell him that? -What?
I'm not talking to him anymore.
Is what she's saying.
-But you helped clean up. -I was complaining the whole time!
Is what she's saying.
Oh, no! Not this!
What?
It's all torn.
I'm afraid it's ruined.
Was it an important book?
Yeah.
Well, I don't care about all the other books.
It's just this one that…
It may sound like I'm exaggerating, but this book changed my life.
In school, I only had basketball in my head,
I never gave a thought to my future.
Back then, being a copywriter was the most popular career.
For some reason, I read this book,
and I got serious about it.
I decided being a copywriter was the work I was born to do.
And not because it was popular.
Can't you just buy another copy?
-Right, I'll help you-- -Not this one. It's out of print.
But yeah…
I've been transferred to the Sales Department.
I guess I don't need it anymore.
Well, I'll be going.
I'll leave the rest to you two.
As thanks, I'll…
-I'll buy you dinner or something. -I told you, I--
Why not?
You worked hard.
No, but…
-My stomach… -It's growling.
What?
-Here. -I'm sorry about today.
We had to close because of that, so you better eat all the food we cooked.
Okay. Let's eat!
-Enjoy! -Let's eat.
It's spicy. Is that okay?
Yeah.
It's spicy, right?
-Excuse me, water, please. -Okay.
Why don't you ask me that?
-What? -Hm?
-Aren't you hungry? -Yeah.
Is it spicy?
A little.
-Teppei. -Soichiro.
What happened with the flood?
No, it's okay now.
I'm sorry, I was a bit frantic when I wrote the note.
I was shocked when I read it.
I thought it was a deluge or something.
Please take a seat.
Since you're already here, why don't you eat with us?
Well, all right then.
-Excuse me, we've got one more. -I'm Uesugi.
This soup is really good, if you would like some.
-Oh, is it? -Yes.
I'll have the same then.
Okay.
Are you all right? You're sweating a lot.
You good?
Excuse me. More water, please.
Okay.
I forgot to tell you.
Kashiwagi from your office called while I was leaving.
I'm sorry, it completely slipped my mind.
I see.
Hey, are you really okay?
Why are you only eating that?
-It's my favorite. -She'll be mad if you have leftovers.
Pickled scallions, please!
Why would they have it here?
You can never eat curry without pickled scallions.
This is an Indian restaurant.
That's right. Remember the Shinoyama Foods event?
We got pickled scallions as a present. We can eat those.
Otemon said he likes it, so I gave him mine.
By the way, what was it that you brought to the company?
This is Katagiri. Did you need something?
What? Nami Shiraishi?
I was announcing stuff.
-At least run a single race. -Yes.
I really livened things up.
-I understand. -You did one thing in the event.
-What? -I can't believe you made that.
In the rice ball… Was it mustard?
-On cod roe. -Mustard cod roe?
I have to go.
Why?
-Some work just came up. -You can go after eating.
No. It's urgent.
-Sorry. -Okay.
-Oh, make sure to pay for her. -Sure.
He really knows how to put a damper on things.
-You sure about marrying him? -Stop it.
Lame.
What?
Isn't it annoying having to be around an ex-boyfriend who cheated on you?
I would hate it!
-I don't really… -Don't say that. You're embarrassing her.
You're the one who's embarrassed.
What?
-I really don't think of Mizuhara as-- -It's okay, don't force it.
I won't be able to keep a straight face.
You're the one forcing your feelings down.
My feelings? What about them?
You don't understand how I feel!
You're only nice to me at work, so you can feel all self-satisfied, right?
Don't talk like you understand. If you're gonna be like that, just go.
I am going!
Ms. Uesugi!
Seriously…
You're a fast walker.
I'm walking fast on purpose.
I'm also going this way.
You're kind, aren't you?
Being worried about me.
I think you're kind yourself.
How?
When you were arguing with Tecchan,
I could hear how much you cared for him in your voice.
And that…
you don't like to lose.
Just like Tecchan.
He hates to lose. He's stubborn.
Maybe that's why you butt heads.
But there's a difference in the way people hate losing.
Some run away from challenges to not lose.
Others face it head-on to win.
Am I running away?
That's not what I meant.
I'm saying Tecchan's the type that faces things head-on.
I've known this for a long time, since I watched him play basketball.
He would sometimes feel troubled or get down,
but he would never dwell on things.
Sanae…
You said you would look for that book, right?
Please don't look for it.
Why not?
Because I'm going to look for it.
My feelings? What about them?
You don't understand how I feel!
Oh, really?
You caught a cold again?
Take care of yourself. Bye.
Uesugi has a cold and won't be coming.
Yoda! Tea!
Sure… Wait, why am I always the one?
-I like mine bitter. -Excuse me.
I'm going to Shinoyama Foods to try again.
What? But yesterday--
That's why I want to go back.
To make amends,
I would like to give them a discount on newspaper advertising for next month.
All right. No more than five percent.
Understood.
-Get going. -Okay. I'm off!
Good luck!
Hello?
-You're sick again? -Yeah.
Are you okay?
Just kidding!
I ditched work today.
-What are you doing? -I've got something more important to do.
Oh, okay.
Well, it's your life, so do what you want.
-Bye. -Hey, wait!
I have some good news for you.
What is it?
Tonight at eight o'clock.
Something good will happen. I'll fax you the location, so be there.
They might ask me to work late.
Refuse it.
What?
Refuse it!
Weren't we supposed to be fighting?
Were we?
You know…
Make sure to come!
You'll regret it the rest of your life if you don't.
Wait…
What's going on?
You're being stalked by your husband?
You don't have to worry.
You can tell me anything.
What is it?
It's a lie. All of it.
If I hadn't done this, we wouldn't be alone together now.
I don't need your advice.
Hold me.
I have a fiancée.
You don't get it?
I'm telling you to hold me.
I won't ask you to marry me.
If I did…
would it make up for everything?
If that's how you want to feel, that's fine with me.
I've never been able to forget.
You just need to make up for all the time.
Tecchan!
-Oh, you're here. -Yeah.
My brother left this
at the restaurant last night.
-Thanks. -See you.
Hey, want to stay for dinner?
No, sorry.
-Sorry, just a second. -Today, I…
Hello, Katagiri residence.
Yes, thank you as always.
-Yes. -Coming in.
What?
I see.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Goodbye.
Today, I have to…
What happened?
Soichiro's office called to tell him the time for tomorrow's meeting.
Oh, and?
They said Soichiro wasn't at work today.
Are you by any chance meeting Ms. Uesugi tonight?
Yeah, I am.
Then go! Soichiro will be back soon--
It's okay, I'll wait. It doesn't matter if I'm late.
You'll fight again--
We're always fighting anyway.
Unless I hear her being noisy once in a while,
everything gets too quiet, it's almost lonely.
I see.
Fighting is a sign you guys are close.
Hi!
It's me.
Sorry, I can't come anymore.
Don't try to beat me to it.
No way!
-It's true. -You said you would come!
You decided that on your own.
Where are you, Teppei?
Come this instant! Teleport if you have to!
Quit talking nonsense!
Why can't you come? Work?
Sanae-chan?
Yeah.
But, I mean…
It's… it's nothing weird, okay?
Hello?
It's fine, we can just meet at the office.
No, we can't!
It has to be here and now!
Okay, fine. I'll be late, but I'll be there.
You don't have to come.
I said I'm coming!
It's too late now.
Sorry, I have to go.
I'll see you.
Welcome back.
You're here.
Is that all you have to say?
You ditched work. Where were you?
-What's wrong? -What do you mean "What's wrong?" Explain.
It has nothing to do with you.
You can't just say that.
Do you remember?
His name was Goh.
The one I interpreted for?
Yeah.
His wife was staying illegally and was about to be deported.
They have young children, so I tried to see if there was anything I could do.
I see. So that's what it was.
You should have said something then. We were worried.
Right.
Well, I have to hurry.
SEND A MESSAGE TO THE ONE YOU LOVE DETAILS AT THE INFORMATION CENTER
No, we can't!
It has to be here and now!
Eight o'clock…
-Excuse me. -Yes?
I just have a question.
You know the big screen over there?
Yes.
Was there a message on it at eight o'clock this evening?
-Oh, there was. -There was?
The person was adamant that it had to be 8:00 exactly.
What was the message?
-One moment please. -Okay.
This one.
Thank you.
Hi! This is Uesugi.
I'm not home right now, so leave a message.
Beep!
It's me.
Sorry about earlier.
Can we meet again at ten o'clock at the same place?
This time, I'll wait for you.
I'm waiting for you.
Hello?
I got your message. What do you want?
Just what I said.
It's too late for that.
In life, there are some things you can't get back.
I'm sorry. I had no idea it was so important.
Didn't I say you had to come?
You always say stupid stuff. I didn't know you were serious this time.
Goodbye.
Hey, wait! Hey!
I want to apologize for not showing up.
If you're really sorry,
then do a handstand.
Here?
Will you or won't you?
All right. Fine then, I'll do it. Hold on.
Are you doing it?
What? Oh…
I'm doing it.
Liar.
How do you know? I told you I'm doing it.
Yes?
So you're that type of guy.
Here.
When you didn't show up, I thought about throwing it away.
I couldn't do it.
I saw how mournful your face looked.
That's why I wanted to look for this book.
But that's just the way I feel.
It doesn't matter how you feel about me.
So…
Here.
Thanks.
See you.
Wait.
What?
It's time.
For what?
Time for us to kiss.
What? You have no right to decide that.
I really regret…
not showing up on time.
I wanted to meet you here.
TEPPEI
I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU
TEPPEI, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU -YOUR RIKO-CHAN
RIKO
I LOVE YOU TOO!
RIKO, I LOVE YOU TOO! -TEPPEI
What's that?
I won't let you kiss me with just that.
Why not? There's nothing to lose.
-Back off, creep! -I'm not trying to be a creep.
-What are you trying to do? -Can't I do what I want?
There's a strict criteria for these kinds of things!
Like dental hygiene, the weather, your health, humidity--
-Stop! -What?
Hold this. Hold it!
Look.
I can see myself in your eyes.
Is that it?
What?
Ouch! You…
You pushed the corner into my head, you…
TO BE CONTINUED
I quit being your girlfriend.
That goes both ways.
Why are you hiding things from me?
Don't worry, my brother doesn't have another woman.
You suck, Teppei!
You're the most stubborn woman I've ever met.
My wish is to be together with you forever.
KATAGIRI
Go away!
Mizuhara, what happened?
