RIKO, I LOVE YOU TOO! -TEPPEI
-It's time. -For what?
Time for us to kiss.
What are you doing?
TEPPEI IS
Come on…
Don't write "my boyfriend" there.
Why not?
It's in red too!
It's permanent ink. I won't be able to erase it.
Isn't it better if it's permanent?
I feel like shouting it out!
I could even walk around town with a placard about us.
Do what you want.
I will do as I want.
Teppei…
It's done.
It's done!
-Okay. -I said it's done!
I know.
I told you it's done.
-What? -Here.
What's this?
My thoughts about last night.
TEPPEI IS A CREEP
-Look at this. -Oh…
Go first.
Why can't we go in together?
Imagine what they'll think if we come in together.
Let's decide with rock, paper, scissors.
Rock, paper…
-You lose, go. -Cheater!
-Morning! -Good morning.
-Good morning! -Good morning!
-You came to work together? -W-We met on the same train.
-It's pure coincidence. -Coincidence?
Must be nice having company.
Morning!
-Good morning! -Morning!
Sorry, Yoda. I can make the rest.
What's happening today, Riko? You're casually dressed!
Well, I stayed over last--
She has no respect for the office!
But I like this look. It's very cute.
-Thank you. -Katagiri.
Did you make sure to return the shoe samples from Nakano Shoes?
I forgot.
-I'm sorry. -Come on.
Get it together. They'll have my neck!
-Sorry! -Unbelievable.
-I'm going! -Hurry!
-Sorry! -I'll help!
-It's okay, I'm fine! -I'll help!
Hurry up.
Take some more!
Aren't you making tea?
Sorry, I'll be back!
What's with those two?
Who knows?
Quit following me everywhere I go.
Why?
What do you mean "why?" Because it's bad, obviously!
Why is it bad? It's fine with me.
You really are naive.
There are always people who get jealous of office love affairs.
Especially at our company,
full of guys over 35 panicking about marriage.
-It'll be bad if they find out about us. -Really?
But I'm fine with that.
How carefree can you be?
It's fine if things go well, but if they don't,
you'll live a sad life being bullied by old, unmarried ladies.
If things don't go well?
What? No, I…
It's fine if it keeps going well, but we don't know what will happen.
You don't know what will happen?
That's just how love is.
Why would you say that?
Do you still have feelings for somebody?
No, I do not.
Ouch!
Hey, wait!
Go by yourself!
Why? What are… Wait, hey!
Mr. Goh! Long time, no see.
Ms. Sanae, thank you for your help.
Thanks to you, I wasn't prosecuted.
That's great.
Your wife wasn't deported either.
Deported? What do you mean?
That was the sales for the year-end shopping season.
There will be many year-end parties. Don't drink too much.
Yes, sir.
By the way, about the customary employee trip.
Is there a volunteer to organize it?
Otemon, how about you?
Oh, um… Yoda?
What? Hioki.
What? Tsuji.
-Hosaka! -What?
But having to coordinate stuff on a relaxing trip is a little…
-That's right. -It's a lot of work too.
-Under your armpit. -What?
Your suit has a huge hole. It's crazy.
Liar, I just bought this!
-Katagiri! -Yes?
You'll do it?
Taking the job no one wants! You've got a good attitude!
Katagiri, it is then!
-That was close. -Good luck!
Great. A hot spring would be nice.
Come help me look for an inn and make the reservations.
Do it yourself. It has nothing to do with me.
If I'm too nice to you, everyone will get suspicious, right?
They'll wonder if we're all lovey-dovey.
Would you rather I announce to everyone, "I slept with her…
I love her so much." Will passionately announcing that satisfy you?
That's not what I meant.
I just don't like having to sneak around.
Then how about a hot pot dinner at my place?
I'll invite my brother and Mizuhara too.
I'll introduce you as my girlfriend. No complaints there, right?
The chief likes an open-air bath,
so pick some place with a big one.
Let's go to this place together. Look!
I apologize… about last time.
For a moment, I thought I could make it up to you.
But…
I didn't do any of that.
Staying the night with you only deepened the wound.
People don't change, do they?
I feel like you said the same thing four years ago.
It's as if I'm replaying an old video.
Maybe.
In the end,
I can't save you.
Coward.
I see.
So you and Teppei are all lovey-dovey now.
-That's great. -Yeah.
Let's celebrate then!
-Yeah, let's! -Yeah!
Sugi! A bottle of champagne, please!
-Sure. -But the cheap stuff.
-Why? -It's fine. The happy shouldn't complain.
You're rich.
Even though I had a chance with him too.
-What? -Nothing.
-Let's celebrate. -Yeah, let's!
Hi, how you doing?
Hi! Fine, fine!
-Have a seat. It's empty. -Really?
All right.
Thanks for the tangerines.
I thought I should tell you this.
Well, I'm…
Going out with Teppei, right?
-Yeah. -Really?
It's true!
-Riko's completely lovestruck. -Don't say that.
Wow, you don't say.
-It's here. -Here's the champagne.
-Thank you. -Here.
That's what this was for.
Two more glasses, please.
-Here. -You ready?
-Can you do it? -Here I go!
You sure?
Yay!
Awesome!
You're late today.
An interview I had with a victim took a while.
What about dinner?
I've already eaten.
Do you remember?
His name was Goh.
His wife was staying illegally and was about to be deported.
Deported? What do you mean?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just got a call from Tecchan.
He asked if we could come by for hot pot this Friday.
Hot pot?
I'll go make some tea.
Sesame, sesame, sesame…
-Amazing! It's perfect. -There.
-I'm opening the wine. -Okay.
You should come and help out in the kitchen too!
I was grinding the sesame.
Anybody can do that.
Wow, it's so cute! Flower-shaped carrots!
-Oh, we can do that with this. -So cute!
-Be amazed. -Do what? Oh, wait!
-Oh, wow. -Awesome, right?
-I can do it now, right? -Yeah, that was amazing!
That was amazing!
-It's really good. -That's right.
I would like to ask So-chan…
What?
When did your little brother become this much of a creep?
I was cleaning up this place the other day,
and found all these adult magazines.
He won't throw them out.
She keeps nagging me about it.
-Want to see them? -Hey, we're eating!
She even asked me how many girls I went out with before.
It's pretty basic not to have any lies or secrets between lovers, isn't it?
You don't have to ask me about my exes though!
-Here. -Oh, thank you.
-How'd that case go? -What?
The thing you were telling us about with Mr. Goh's wife.
She wasn't deported, right?
Yeah, we somehow made it.
I met her the other day. She was very grateful.
Oh, really? That's great to hear.
Don't you think that there are very few public prosecutors
who would do that much for others?
-That's true. -Yeah. Don't add the noodles yet!
-Why not? -You know…
-Add more fish and shrimp for the broth. -Oh, I see.
Yeah. And then…
I also met Mr. Goh the other day.
His wife is still in China.
So, this deportation thing…
Why did you lie, Soichiro?
Why are you bringing this up now?
I didn't think it was a big deal.
Or I tried not to think so.
-But I don't want you to hide anything. -A public prosecutor's job…
It can easily make you the target of criminals.
I didn't want to make my family worry. That's why I lied.
But that's strange.
If we're family, you should be able to tell us anything.
I don't want my family bothering me about every little part of my work!
How can you say that?
Stop! Okay. Stop it right there.
How come even your fights have to be about serious stuff?
It's like a student council meeting.
Talking about work and family like that.
Seeing you two fight about serious matters like that
will make us ashamed of squabbling over whether to throw out my adult magazines.
-Oh, that's right! -Right?
Come on, have a drink and make up, you two!
-It's empty… -How about the fridge?
-Oh, there should be beer! -Hurry.
You have to make up!
How come there's no beer?
Right, I'll go buy some.
-Hey, can I borrow this? -Sure.
Hey, So-chan, why don't you come too?
It's dangerous for a girl to walk alone in the middle of the night, right?
Come on, hurry up!
-Thanks. -Let's go! Okay?
-We're going! -Okay.
I thought you'd be more serious and diligent compared to Teppei,
but maybe I was wrong.
What?
You've fooled around at least once before, haven't you?
Come on.
No.
You look very serious, but maybe you're actually playing around?
Public prosecutors do seem popular with women.
I'm sure women say,
"You can investigate me from head to foot." Stuff like that.
I've never had that experience.
"Never had that experience."
You're so naive! No one will believe that.
Listen. When someone says that, you say,
"It happens all the time."
And after that, you say,
"Just kidding," to lighten up the atmosphere.
That's the basic know-now of a conversation.
Know-now?
Know-how! Weren't you listening? I said know-how!
Understood.
Next time, I'll do that then.
Stop!
"Stop."
STOP
I'll go buy some snacks, so you go on back.
Oh, okay.
-See you. -Be careful.
Okay!
Don't worry, my brother doesn't have another woman.
What?
Just now…
Your face looked the same as when you thought
I was cheating on you in high school.
Don't worry!
You're getting married to him soon anyway.
Yeah.
It's cold.
This is just my opinion, but…
you're trying too hard to be a good person.
I mean, that's why you feel weirdly stressed and like you're going to explode.
Like, it's the same as…
Like… farting.
What?
It's like when you hold it in while in front of everyone,
but when it's completely silent,
it comes out with a huge noise.
I think it's the same thing.
Is it that funny?
It's just… you know,
you're always like that.
When I'm down and don't know what to do,
you always say things to cheer me up.
I do?
Sh!
Got you.
Come on.
It's been…
a long time since I laughed this hard.
Even now,
I sometimes think about it.
About what?
When you cheated on me,
I wonder why I wanted to break up with you so easily.
It's obvious. That's because you didn't really like me, right?
No, it's not that.
You know,
I wanted to become a good person.
I didn't want you to see me when…
I was being unpleasant or jealous.
I wanted the beautiful memories to remain beautiful.
Frozen forever.
But maybe it would have been better if we had an actual fight about it.
We're back!
-Hey. -Got the beer.
-Thank you. -It's so cold!
It's so cold outside!
Thanks for this, Teppei. It really saved me.
So cold.
What are these gloves?
So cute! Give me them!
-They're not for you. -What's "TK"?
Just put them back.
Have some wine. You guys went all the way out to buy it, right?
Oh, that's right.
-Let's drink then. -Right.
All right.
What?
Hey, did you get these from Sanae-chan?
You were hiding them.
They were already fighting. That would've made things worse.
So you don't want So-chan to get suspicious?
Is there anything between you and her that he should be suspicious of?
Not at all.
You said that quietly.
You… you said that so quietly!
That makes me think you're hiding something.
No, I'm not!
You know, you've got to get over that habit of getting jealous so easily.
But then, do I have to be careful in front of your ex
and make sure nothing awkward happens?
-Just saying yes to you? -I'm the one doing that, right?
I'm the one giving in to you.
Giving in to me?
What does that mean?
Like having hot pot today. It was for your sake.
I'm really tired after being so considerate, so massage my back.
What? Aren't you just trying to seem nice in front of everyone?
Ouch! Quit messing with me.
Oh, is that so? Right? You don't even understand how I feel.
You're a really self-centered woman, aren't you?
Of all the girls I've dated, you'd be number one in that category!
What's that got to do with anything?
Aren't you going out with me because it's fun?
Or are you saying it's because you have no choice?
That goes both ways.
I got it.
I'm out.
-Out? -I quit being your girlfriend.
You expect me to keep dating you when you tell me stuff like that?
Oh, okay.
Goodbye.
It's unfortunate it ended so quickly.
It's better for both of us to end it now, if this isn't going anywhere.
That's right.
Feels really refreshing.
Breaking up with a selfish person like you?
The sooner, the better, right?
From now on, don't come within two meters of me!
Two meters? Okay, got it.
Someone forgot this cute pair of shoes.
Stay two meters away. Hey!
Careful you don't forget any--
Ouch! Hey… Ouch!
"Two meters," he says.
Here you are.
Taking pictures now! Riko, look this way.
One, two…
There you go!
I'm taking a picture. Get together.
Say "Cheese!"
Ready, and…
SUN HATOYA
Look here.
Riko, over here.
Look here, Chief.
Chief Kurosaki's room is 816.
Dinner is in the Silver Wave Room on the third floor at six o'clock.
-Six o'clock? -Got it.
Otemon, Yoda and Hosaka, you are in 613.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, who's playing golf tomorrow?
-Me! -Meet in the lobby at seven o'clock.
Is there karaoke? Karaoke?
-Check on your own. -Aren't you the organizer?
-I want to sing "Kyodai Jingi." -There's no karaoke?
There is. They have it.
HORSE MACKEREL FISHING
It's a sea bream! She caught a sea bream!
What's so great about that? I caught a sea bream.
Flower picture postcards! For Sanae-chan, right?
She really loves flowers.
Someone unrefined as you won't understand the care that goes into growing them.
I'm taking good care of that cactus you gave me!
Liar. How?
What?
You just put it aside somewhere, right?
That's why I gave you a cactus.
Pigeon? Pigeon Buns? From the hotel's symbol?
That's pretty obvious.
Is that for So-chan? That's tough, having to think about everyone.
You'll go bald from thinking too hard.
You said something about me?
Not you, Mr. Otemon. About--
About this guy, him!
It's unpleasant to hear her badmouth someone's looks like that.
-An undersea hot spring? -Yes, straight from here.
Is it mixed bathing?
Just a word with you.
Can we ask you something?
What's going on between you and Riko?
You two have been acting strange recently.
With someone like her? No way!
You guys don't know her. That's why you say that.
What?
-What do you mean by that? -Yeah.
She's so cute! Are you saying she's got some crazy habits?
I don't know about habits. She's just sloppy.
-Really? -Like after she blows her nose.
She doesn't throw away the tissue she used.
-What, really? -It's true.
I never noticed.
That's because I pick them up and throw them away.
Really?
And she's really self-centered!
She doesn't have words like "thank you" and "sorry" in her vocabulary.
Yes, I do.
-But she's always very nice to us. -Right!
That's… She's got two sides.
Like a dual personality.
Is that right? We couldn't tell.
Right. Also, just between us…
-What, what? You know, this is crazy, but…
-When she lifts her bangs… -Yeah?
She still has downy hair on her forehead, just like Daigoro.
-What? -You know a lot about her.
I see…
-Seriously! -She still has downy hair?
I'm getting out now.
Daigoro, huh?
You're getting out?
-I'll be going too, excuse me. -See you.
That wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
Chief, are you all right?
This is the Eiko Agency employee trip.
I hope everyone has a good time.
Now for the toast. Chief Kurosaki, please.
Let's see. Forget formalities today!
Just drink, eat, and have fun, as much as you want!
Refresh yourselves.
All right, cheers!
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Hey, why are you sitting here?
-I'm the organizer. -You're supposed to stay away from me.
Then you move.
Hello, Katagiri residence.
Hello?
Is the budget okay?
What?
With a feast like this…
It's perfectly within the budget.
Here, I'll do it for you.
-Sorry. -It's no problem.
Then may I sing a song for everyone in the meantime!
-Go ahead. -It's okay, Chief?
-Of course. -All right then, let's do it!
Riko is going to sing!
Is this Eiko Agency?
Yes. Oh, wait a second. Just a second.
Since the chief is here…
That's Entertainment!
This is what you've been waiting for.
Come in!
-Excuse us. -Good evening.
Come in.
Katagiri! You arranged this?
-Yes -What a thoughtful guy you are!
Excuse us. Hello there!
Here, have a drink.
Thank you.
Wow, you're very young.
May I sit between you two?
-Yes, go ahead. -Can I?
-Thank you. -Go ahead.
Everyone is really young. How old are you?
I'm 25.
You're 25? Are you single?
-Yeah… -You're single?
Of course. I'm looking for a girlfriend right now.
Really? May I be considered?
-Really? -Yeah.
Give me your number later.
-I will! -Okay!
-Katagiri! -Yes?
Come here a second.
Sorry, passing through.
Do you know what choyou no jo means?
It's an old tradition that elders should be served first.
-I understand. -Would you like some?
Should we do a toast?
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Sorry, but can you go sit with the chief?
-The chief? -Over there.
-That guy? -Yeah.
With the scary face?
-Will you be here? -Yeah.
Wait for me. I'll be back.
-Just wait. -Sure.
The chief gets really petty about these things.
-I'm home. -Welcome back.
Oh, is that stew?
Smells great.
It's okay, I'll get it.
Yes, hello?
It's me.
I'm in front of your apartment right now.
I miss you.
I can't go.
I knew you would say that.
You have a bright future ahead as a public prosecutor,
and you also have a cute fiancée.
It's natural you would want to protect all that.
I don't have anything.
No family.
No future.
If I could only forget about you,
I could be at peace.
Sorry. There's some trouble at work.
I'll eat later.
Someone kept calling while you were working.
No one said anything on the other end,
but it didn't seem like it was just a prank.
It's a prank. Don't bother answering if it happens again.
Why are you hiding things from me?
You're troubled.
I can feel it even now.
Please tell me what's going on.
Don't run away. Answer me!
Aren't you the one
hiding something deep in your heart that you've never told me?
What are you saying?
The gloves in Teppei's place.
You made them, right?
There's our great organizer.
That was so awesome!
-Be the organizer next time! -You're drunk!
Maybe a little.
Tsuji, I can see your chest!
-Sorry! -Your chest…
Well, then.
Guess I'll go back to my room.
Everyone's having too much fun in there.
Why not? You'd be like a moth among butterflies in that room.
I found you! I was looking for you. Where did you go?
Hold on a second.
-Here's my number. Call me. -Sure.
-It's game time! -Okay, okay.
Wait!
Hey!
That's dangerous!
You're the worst, Teppei!
A womanizer, irresponsible, and foul-mouthed!
Of all the people I've dated, you're clearly the worst!
Well, you're the most stubborn woman I've ever met.
You're the one in the wrong here!
You're dating me, and yet you flirt with another woman in front of me!
Wait, wait just a minute.
Are we dating?
-I mean… -Hey.
I'm pretty sure… What?
Didn't we break up last night?
-That's right. -And you said…
I shouldn't come within two meters of you.
That's right!
Then this is bad, right? We even broke up too.
People will definitely start talking about us sneaking out like this!
What a pain. Should we just get back together?
What are you saying?
-Two meters! -One meter, 50 centimeters…
-Wait-- -30 centimeters, 20 centimeters…
Ten centimeters…
-A shooting star! -Only an idiot would look.
No, it's true!
-Where? -There.
Too late to make a wish.
I wonder if we'll see another one.
It's not something you see that easily.
But it is. Back in my hometown, deep in the Nagano mountains,
when you climb to the top, you can see as many shooting stars as you want.
About one every ten seconds.
Sure.
Hey, how about going there together sometime?
Promise, then.
-Come on. -Don't be embarrassed. Promise!
Pinky promise!
It's cold!
Let's take a bath together.
Seriously?
You perv.
BATHS
This is actually a little embarrassing.
Hey.
Next time you see a shooting star,
what wish will you make?
To become really good at what I want to do.
Really good?
Regardless of how society works
or my position in the company,
just being satisfied with my work.
Just that. That's what I want.
Right.
Then I've already achieved that.
I'm satisfied with myself now.
With that personality?
After meeting you…
I realized that
finding myself is finding happiness.
Since I came to Tokyo,
I've been searching for who I am.
But no matter what I do,
no matter who I'm with,
I've never been as happy as I am now.
Really.
So my wish is…
to be together with you forever.
That's about it.
Even though we fight so much?
It's fun even when we're fighting.
For example,
even if today was the last day on Earth,
and even if Japan sank,
as long as I'm with you,
I'm sure
I would be smiling right to the end.
Just kidding. Are you blushing?
Don't be stupid.
Otemon, this is the ladies' bath!
I'm very sorry to have bothered you!
That was close.
All right, everyone, let's start the morning meeting.
Okay.
Katagiri, well done.
-Good work. -Thank you.
-I drank too much… -Give me some medicine later.
-No way. -Hey!
Excuse me, I have an announcement I would like to make.
You went over the budget?
No, our budget's just fine. That's not it.
Well, actually, I…
Well…
Actually, I… have athlete's foot.
Don't talk about stupid stuff this early!
I'm dating Uesugi!
I just didn't want to keep secrets.
Sorry, that's the announcement. Thank you.
Oh, really. That's great.
-I already knew. -Me too.
-Everyone did, right? -Yeah!
-Shall we start then? -Yes!
Come on, pass out the tea?
"Actually…
I have athlete's foot."
"Actually…
I'm dating Uesugi."
What? So you are home.
Here. I bought this when we went on the employee trip.
Thanks.
What's wrong? Wait--
Hey. Mizuhara, what happened?
Go away.
Hey, did something happen? Hey?
Hey!
Please, go away!
Go away!
We're dating…
He says.
TO BE CONTINUED
Isn't that So-chan?
It is, right?
Don't touch me!
She might go back to Teppei.
Don't you think so?
While I waited for you…
I was so scared.
Don't go anywhere, okay, Teppei?
