"Here." "Oh, thank you so much." "Don't mention it." "Subtitles brought and produced by FURRITSUBS ( ^___^ )// ENJOY!" "[POISON BERRY IN MY BRAIN]" "Well then..." "It's time to garner the most votes." "Raise your hands if you agree to open a conversation." "Raise your hands if you disagree to open a conversation." "Kishi-san, please give us your comments." "Well, you see..." "I just followed the option with the most votes." "With only these number of people, we can't come to a decision." "The train will now move to the second lane momentarily." "Please stand at the specified location." "Yoshida-san, why are you against it?" "Approaching a man like that It really does not fit with our personality!" "Right!" "What a boring life, a boring life, a BORING LIFE!" "This meeting will decide how boring the situation will get" "BORING!" "What should I do?" "If we look at it clearly..." "A greeting will make huge progress for us!" "You definitely have a record of the real identity of that man, right Kishi-san?" "I am not mistaken." "Saotome Ryoichi." "The first meeting we had with him was from last month in the reception of a company." "A freelance worker." "How the hell could you guys not remember?" "We have been curious about him all this time!" "Can't you just let it be?" "After all, he is such an odd man!" "He prefers to eat the pork all around the table and avoiding cabbage." "Still, isn't the way he holds his chopstick seem quite elegant?" "So what?" "Enough already!" "If we don't hurry up, the train will be arriving any moment now!" "The trains will soon come so let's just go away!" "The train will soon stop" "Yoshida-san, hurry up!" "What should I do?" "The insides of my head are getting screwed up!" "Trains are coming!" "Yoshida-san, hurry up!" "Let's vote again." "Kishi-san, this time you should participate." "Raise your hands if you agree to open a conversation with Saotome." "My heart is pounding crazily, I definitely love this!" "What a coincidence!" "This has definitely gotta be fate!" "According to the past records we have stored..." "We've never shown any interest on a man." "Interacting with something different may seem not that bad at all." "That's why, if he is someone weird that does not mean it's called as love or romance." "I firmly say this because as a woman, this is not a behaviour she should act as!" "I will never agree!" "I agree!" "Huh?" "Why?" "I just followed the option with the most votes." "You piece of sh*t, traitor!" "Ikeda, Ikeda!" "Calm down!" "You're always so!" "Excuse me..." "Good afternoon!" "Thank you for that other day." "What a coincidence, right?" "Look!" "He doesn't remember at all!" "What are you gonna do now?" "!" "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!" "Ikeda, Ikeda!" "It's still alright!" "Oh, dum" "What did he say just now?" "Hey?" "What did he?" "I couldn't hear it." "Umm..." "What did you say a while ago?" "Yes?" "You said something about "Dum.."" "Dum?" "Oh, I said dumplings." "Dumplings?" "You're the woman who wore a ring-shaped dumplings on you're phone, right?" "So that's it?" "But that's not dumplings, though." "It's stuffed leek." "That's it, that's it." "I always thought that your cellphone strap looked good to eat." "I love this guy!" "Isn't this great?" "!" "At this rate, a chain of conversation will be opened up!" "What are you talking about?" "Quickly find some topics to talk about!" "Topic?" "!" "Topic!" "TOPIC!" "Where do you live?" "Huh?" "Umm.. your house." "My house?" "Disgusting." "A woman asking for the address of a man!" "You wanna become a stalker?" "No, no!" "Aside from that.." "Smile!" "Smile as you talk!" "I live in Motosume." "Ah..." "Just near here." "It seems like he's not listening, though." "Well, well, well..." "Stuffs like that do happen." "Enough already!" "Kishi-san, is there any other topics that can be discussed?" "Well then..." "I will look for data reception and display it." "Umm..." "You're only eating the meat it seems." "Do you dislike vegetables?" "Well, you see...." "Somehow..." "It seems quite bothersome." "Bothersome?" "Vegetables can't fight back." "If it's meat, it can at least defend itself." "Ahhh~~ I see..." "This is delicious!" "Ichiko, have you tried this?" "Ah, yes." "GAME OVER" "Only this?" "Yes." "This is the only thing we can conclude on the conversation." "We didn't have a great conversation there, at all!" "What should we do?" "Meat..." "Meat, huh?" "Meat..." "Huh?" "Hey, Ishibashi!" "Don't get ahead of yourself!" "You..." "loved meat, right?" "Well..." "I do..." "Mio!" "Look at what they're talking!" "It's better than nothing at all!" "Hatoko!" "I'm very hungry..." "What are you doing?" "!" "I told you not to get over your head!" "Well, I can't help but get hungry too!" "You keep on talking about meat endlessly!" "Listen up." "No one is allowed to touch the microphone again." "So what we are going to do?" "Should we just keep quiet and let it be?" "Do not interfere, then!" "I'm very hungry!" "Yoshida-san, hurry!" "Hurry up!" "Yoshida-san!" "I'm hungry!" "I'm hungry!" "I WANNA EAT MEAT!" "Shhhh ..." "If you say so, then why don't you grab a lunch with me?" "Yes?" "A miracle happened!" "Don't waste this opportunity!" "Take this opportunity, Yoshida-san." "We'll lose this chance if you let it pass by!" "Take that, Yoshida-san." "Quickly!" "Yoshida-san, hurry!" "You don't want to." "No, it's not that I don't want to." "Lunch!" "Let's go and eat some lunch!" "SCORE!" "Thanks for waiting." "Please enjoy." "Why a bowl of rice with meat?" "It's okay, it's been so long since we last ate a bowl of rice with meat." "The first time they're together is something like this?" "As long as they have this kind of relationship, it'll last for long!" "How positive can you really get?" "Itadakimasu." "Delicious!" "Still, he really is such a quite guy, isn't he?" "Could he not do well around girls?" "There's no way that's possible." "Just because you were invited out for lunch doesn't mean you're he's type or what." "You can't make serious conversations from that!" "The negative Ikeda-san can just shut-up!" "Yoshida-san, you have to come up with a topic before he finishes his meal." "At this kind of time..." "What should we do again?" "According to the data so far, we have never had any experience with approaching boys." "If we are to be passive, we wouldn't have to go through pain." "If we act wrong now, then the love will surely come to an end." "So, we should be more active in the next step or it won't work out." "Come on, Yoshida-san!" "I already got bored talking to you." "Well, for now, we should observe how sensitive Saotome is in some ways." "Ahh..." "That's it!" "You should do a better job in cleaning up your room." "This guy's room... he always leave things unattended." "No, I don't." "I put them up in plastic bags." "Well then, if stayed over at yours, would you have enough space for me?" "Well then, I should let you clean up things for me." "You're impossible." "We can make this a topic." "No, you don't have enough courage to ask him about his room being dirty." "Can we look for another topic ?" "If we don't hurry up, he'll finish his food!" "But there's no topic to use!" "Go home!" "It's over." "It's over!" "Ehh?" "No, I don't want that!" "Hatoko, shut up." "Don't want to." "Shut up." "Don't want to!" "Do something, anything, Yoshida!" "I heard your is room messy." "Well..." "Yeah." "Living as a single man..." "that's what's bound to happen." "I never bother to clean my room." "Hey..." "Does this mean he doesn't have a girlfriend?" "It doesn't mean anything deep." "Here, here!" "Let's offer to help him clean-up!" "That's it!" "What are you saying?" "Sakurai Ichiko does not have that character!" "We don't have to do anything according to character!" "We have no choice but to go with it!" "Then..." "Should we go and tidy up?" "Eh?" "Since we're here and all..." "Let's do it." "Are you serious?" "Yes." "You're really serious about this?" "It's really dirty..." "Well..." "After all, we did come to help him clean the place up..." "What should I do?" "Make sure you get out of my way." "Understood." "I'll start." "Somehow..." "It turned into an unprecedented turn of events, though." "What kind of work is that?" "Is that fish bone?" "It somehow seems cute." "Could this be something that is expensive?" "Nope." "No way." "And there it appears!" "A woman's earrings spotted!" "It appears!" "Amazing..." "You really did clean up all over the place." "I am very grateful for making it this tidy." "It's okay." "Just don't forget to throw the garbage that's for recycling." "Okay." "Hurry up and say, "I'm going home." What are you waiting for?" "I still don't wanna go home!" "We've done enough already!" "It's over!" "No!" "I don't want something like that!" "Well---like---like--- we could--- shouldn't there still be something we can d" "At this rate, if she persists tor remain any longer, she'll become dangerous." "Say, "I'm going home," Yoshida!" "COME ON!" ""We're going home!"" "I don't wanna!" "I'm going home." "Okay..." "Umm..." "Do you know the way back?" "I can take you at the train station." "It's already dark and it's too far..." "NO!" "If we go home now, that's it!" "We could at least ask for his complete number and contact details." "You have a point." "If that's how you want it, it's the guys who should usually ask that!" "If he doesn't ask for it, then that means he's not the least bit interested!" "You're right." "Saotome seems like he has no plans." "Don't give up, Yoshida!" "DON'T WANT IT, DON'T WANT IT!" "YOSHIDA!" "Since we went this far, we should move even further!" "YOSHIDA, DON'T GIVE UP!" "Hurry!" "Stop saying nonsense!" "Sakurai is beyond her limits!" "WE CAN'T DO SOMETHING WE CAN'T!" "Where did you say she has reached her maximum limits?" "When you mean limits..." "The so-called outside "the limits" is the exclusion of all things." "It will soon reach its peak." "Who are you?" "You have never existed in our meetings!" "You guys actually do nothing but yelp and complain and fight." "Meeting?" "You're really stupid." "Sleep." "As I thought.." "I can't go home at this point." "Eh?" "I did not come here just to clean your place up." "I want to chat with you." "I want to know you better." "I... fell in love with you..." "That's why I'm doing these things." "You mean to say..." "If I'm not the type of girl you like, I will go home as it is." "If you're a man..." "I'm sure you have the answer right at the tip of your mouth, right?" "An aggressive woman like me..." "That's what you'd think." "Am I being such a big bother?" "I know." "No... not really a bother..." "Even I... being told something like that..." "that does not mean that I'd just get on the mood that easily." "But for you to actually say that..." "It's somehow..." "Then..." "Would you like to try it for a bit?" "If we don't match each other..." "We can stop halfway through." "But.. for a man to stop halfway through..." "that's kinda impossib...." "The statue of the fish you saw a while ago?" "Yes..." "It's something I made..." "You made?" "You create things?" "Yes..." "I graduated from the university of art..." "That is my job now..." "First things first." "Oh, I see." "Well..." "I must fulfill my life with work." "Is this just a dream?" "Is it true?" "It was a really bad dream." "An unknown woman came in and took over the meeting." "When I woke up, it really happened..." "Who could it have been?" "That woman." "I do not know." "A nightmare." "This is not a dream." "In fact, this is what really happened a week ago." "But still, this and that could be a good experience." "Which part of this is a good experience?" "Running with him could have been such a great experience." "Then he'd make her breakfast." "Doing it once does not mean you could become his girlfriend right then!" "Consider it some memories in a box!" "For what reason?" "!" ""Please hug me tightly anytime," shouldn't bind us that easily!" "This is not like us to be very easily obtained if invited!" "My Birthday Celebration:" "I bought a champagne to celebrate." "It doesn't matter if you don't have a gift." "I'll wait tomorrow night at 7." "KAMPAI!" "Happy Birthday!" "Thank you!" "Delicious." "Want a drink?" "Of course." "Hey, Ichiko-chan." "How old are you now?" "Come on, Yuka." "What?" "You should never ask a woman for her age." "Why?" "That's fine, no worries." "I'm 30 years old already." "You know what?" "I'm... 5 years old!" "Then, how about some wine?" "Ehh?" "I thought it was the other brand." "We already drank it." "No..." "I think there's still one left in there." "There's nothing." "There is one." "Did you properly search for it?" "I did, you know." "Really?" "Yes." "Oh, you're right." "I told you so." "When did we drink it?" "That time when Miki came last week." "Think of it, this is the last bottle we have." "That's not allowed, Kishi-san." "We can't turn the page to that dark part." "I am sorry." "You really are hopeless, really." "Hurry it up, already!" "Okay, wait, wait up." "Ehh?" "You still haven't replied to Ochi-san?" "!" "Well, I don't know what to say and I might end up..." "There's no way that's true." "Ochi-san really took an interest in you." "Well you see... somehow..." "I don't wanna put my expectations high and be disappointed." "You shouldn't say something like that!" "Hey, use a fork." "Okayyyy..." "Good..." "Yuka, let's go play over there." "Bye-bye." "Ichiko-san, you're thinking so narrowly." "But your heart is swaying over the place, though." "Swaying over the place?" "At times like these... consider everything before acting." "Excuse me..." "Do you think my novel is already qualified for publication?" "Of course!" "I have read it and it was really interesting." "Please sit." "But..." "I'm just an amateur." "I just wrote about Rei's relationship on a whim." "When I'm writing, I just imagine things and like every idea just pops out of my head from every place." "Judging the applicants based on what potentials they have is actually my job." "It's okay, please leave it to me." "Yes." "Then, straight to the point..." "Let's exchange opinions about it, then." "Okay." "If you want to interview Kawamura, I'll drive you there." "No, you don't have to, I can go by train." "But still, driving seems much comfortable." "If you go via car, it'd be more advantageous to you." "Then... how about Friday?" "What do you think?" "Thank you very much." "Then..." "I'll call you again next time." "Yes." "Ochi-san is a very good person, isn't he?" "You have a point." "He has such a great character." "Smooth and reliable." "Wait a minute!" "If we trust someone we don't know that well, it's sure to bring something painful." "He's absolutely not seductive." "Hatoko, that's fine." "Ochi-san is someone from work." "He doesn't have to be seductive at all." "Ichiko-san...." "Saotome!" "Saotome!" "Saotome...." "Saotome..." "Hello..." "Long time no see." "Ochi-san asked me to meet him for dinner..." "But I had something to discuss with you so..." "That is..." "This previous day..." "Wait a minute!" "This man..." "Could it be that he said something to Ochi about what happened that other day?" "What did you say?" "..." "To Ochi-san..." "I didn't say anything." "That is..." "I just one-sidedly wait for you..." "SAOTOME WAITED FOR US!" "Expectation?" "!" "Isn't this progress?" "!" "Don't be too overconfident..." "He might think that she's someone whom he can just approach easily because she's like that!" "Firstly, Yoshida." "Clear the misunderstanding!" "Misunderstanding?" "You have to explain that Sakurai is not that fickle of a woman!" "Please don't misunderstand anything." "That day..." "I was just not feeling like I usually do..." "It was the first time I acted like it." "I had to explain it to you, no matter what!" "Success!" "Then, let's go home!" "We must escape this, ASAP!" "Ehh?" "No, No!" "I love Saotome!" "Escaping now may seem very odd!" "It's not odd!" "It is, wherever you look at it!" "Looks like..." "I'm bothering you..." "I just wanted to clarify..." "Was something wrong with me?" "Huh?" "In that evening, I thought I was being confessed by you." "But in the morning, you disappeared..." "That's not it's not..." "Umm..." "No!" "It's..." "Nothing really..." "Just reject me already, I won't get turned off." "What the hell is this guy saying?" "Is that what you're worrying?" "No, no!" "Look, Yoshida!" "Yoshida, quick follow up!" "Follow?" "Hurry up and say "You're not a bother at all!"" "I see!" "If you said that...!" "For others, *BEEEP* is the only thing we could expect for!" "Why do you always care about what people say?" "!" "Saotome isn't a bad guy!" "He's not a bad guy?" "!" "Then why'd he go *BEEEP* with her?" "!" "As I said, that's not what I meant!" "During her first year in the company..." "Ichiko-san is known as plain and never had she done the "beep" like this." "These memories will be considered a poor record." "We don't need to recall memories at this time!" "Yoshida, hurry up!" "I don't mean any harm at all..." "It's just that I'm not that kind of woman." "Then, that's it." "Goodbye." ""Well then, goodbye," what the heck does that mean?" "What do you mean by "goodbye?"" "Does that mean you were just playing around with me?" "For you to say that you love me with such a sincere face is really amazing!" "No, no." "That's not true." "Not true?" "No" " No.." "I just" " I just didn't really seriously plan to" "I don't get what you're saying!" "Then what were you really planning?" "S-Sorry!" "Umm.." "I just" " It's not that I was playing with you" " I just didn't plan to do that." "It's just that when I'm with you.." "My head" "My head" " The insides of my head just go "wild" and" "And it becomes beyond of my control--- This is nonsense" "Even I feel like that too!" "It applies to everyone!" "But if you let your mind do it, what am I gonna do?" "If you don't say anything to me, I won't understand anything at all!" "I love you!" "I am in love with you!" "I like the fish sculpture you made..." "Thank you..." "I didn't have any problem... having sex with you." "Is that so?" "Then, you want to go out with me?" "Huh?" "It's not that kind of talk?" "Ehh?" "Don't you have a girlfriend?" "I saw an earring at a corner." "Earrings?" "Cupcake-shaped." "Oh, you meant that." "It's just part of a previous relationship that has long ended." "So, aside that one, do you still have any problems?" "Well then, we're officially dating." "I had a feeling that if I didn't say it clearly, it might become problematic." "Yes." "Please take care of me, Ichiko-san." "What is this?" "What's going on?" "A MIRACLE!" "YEHEEYYYYY!" "YEHHHEEEEYYY!" "Has this finally been... overcomed?" "I cannot believe this!" "There's no way!" "There's no way..." "There's no way she can be so happy that easily!" "It's never easy." "Do not come near me!" "It's all because of our hard work!" "Impossible." "This is the sweet fruit of our hard work!" "No..." "It's not that easy." "That's why..." "That's why, that's why.." "I can't believe it!" "I must not believe it!" "No way!" "THEREFORE!" "You don't have to be so negative, Ikeda!" "We already got our hands on happiness!" "Right now, let us all..." "Be happy!" "Ishibashi..." "Ikeda..." "We got it." "Please come in..." "So amazing!" "It's a place where I stayed during my college days." "Hey..." "Is this what you also made, Saotome?" "Right." "Good for you figuring it out." "It felt like that to me." "That too?" "Right." "This is the last art project I made before graduation." "Amazing..." "It's big." "It was great effort carrying it over here." "It's my first time here but it seems quite fun." "Who touched this?" "Who touched what?" "I'm sorry." "Could you at least allow me to fix this for a while?" "Go ahead." "Although it's dirty, but sit everywhere you want." "Wait a minute." "Ah, by the way." "It was your birthday yesterday right, Ichiko-san?" "Ah, yes." "How old are you?" "Well..." "I just recently turned 30." "Ehh?" "30 years old?" "Uh, sorry." "There's no way." "It hurts." "I'm glad I didn't take back what I said." "No..." "We would have been much better off if we didn't try calling after him." "No, it's wrong!" "We shouldn't have become so grateful about it!" "Do not be too negative thinking, Ikeda!" "He did not like the 30-year-old woman!" "I should never have been born!" "That's too much pessimism, Ikeda!" "Wait" " Hold up!" "Everyone, hold up, hold up!" "Yes, that's right." "Let's all calm down." "Let's calm down, okay?" "How the hell could you not understand it?" "!" "Look at this!" "Eh?" "30?" "You're an old woman, already." "No!" "That's not what he meant!" "Don't jump to conclusions!" "It may not look like it, but in an en emotional aspect, this is what he meant!" "30?" "!" "..." "There's no way!" "Your a wrinkled old woman!" "30?" "!" "You're seriously 30 years old?" "!" "I misjudged you!" "Ehh?" "You're 30 years old and you're trying to date me?" "How lame!" "This is too cruel to perceive as!" "Wouldn't he have meant nothing bad at all?" "Everyone's the same!" "He's totally hiding it!" "But as an adult, we shouldn't have had ran away like that without confirming anything!" "Shouldn't we have talked it out with him quite kindly?" "Going back?" "Everything has already ended." "Ikeda?" "Thank you for your hard work." "Goodbye." "AHH, IKEDA!" "That's not good!" "I wanna disappear." "I want to end it easily." "Even you, Hatoko?" "!" "Yoshida, do something about this!" "That's right." "Let's make it easier for us." "AHHH!" "EVERYONE!" "YOU'RE BEING TOO NEGATIVE ABOUT ALL THESE!" "Kishi-san, please do something about this!" "My only duty is that I only record memories." "From the beginning, to the end." "UGGHH!" "EVERYONE, GET A GRIP ALREADY!" "I went to sleep without removing my make-up." "Nothing matters anymore." "Whether I don't like it or I still don't." "Everyone should just die." "Hey, hey, hey..." "Since we're going to die, after all..." "This is good!" "Blissful feeling!" "Since I'm going to die either way..." "I don't care if she gets fat or what." "Hello?" "Ichiko-san?" "This is Saotome." "How do you know my contact number?" "I asked Ochi-san for it." "You suddenly returned home yesterday..." "What matter would you have with me?" "What do you want from this "old woman!"" "Ikeda!" "Don't suddenly say such weird stuffs!" "After all that happened, wouldn't it be weird if he were to talk to us now?" "!" "Yoshida-san!" "Follow, follow!" "Give back that mic to me!" "Umm..." "You know..." "Are you picking a fight with me?" "Pardon" "Where are you now, Ichiko-san?" ""Where," you say..." "SAOTOME!" "AS I THOUGHT, I LOVE YOU!" "Are you joking?" "!" "We almost died because of this bast*rd." "You and I... ended up dating, right?" "Eh?" "Just now..." "Did he say that they have ended up dating?" "That's how he wants to say that it's over, you know?" "!" "That is right." "I properly explained everything to you." "Why did you suddenly went home yesterday?" "Eh?" "Yoshida, try to explain." "Huh?" "Why does it seems like it has become our fault?" "Ryo-chan!" "Long time no see!" "How are you?" "Natsume?" "What is this drama?" "Who is she?" "I had a bad feeling about this." "You always have bad hunches, Ikeda!" "But I'm always accurate." "Why have you never tried seeing me?" "What are you doing?" ""What," you say..." "Who is this person?" "You're friend?" "Well..." "She's the person I'm going out with..." "Currently." "Huh?" "!" "What do you mean?" "I don't recall any memory of us talking about breaking-up!" "Kishi-san!" "I~TOLD~YOU~SO..." "After all.." "When was the last time we saw each other?" "Like it's been six months already." "You've been to busy and you never tried seeing me once!" "And also!" "You never took any initiative to call me first at all!" "So you say!" "But it's been six months too." "Isn't it natural to conclude that it's over?" "Why are you selfishly deciding everything?" "And why didn't you confirm things with me first?" "!" "Going through all the trouble of doing it seemed quite a hindrance to me." "What do you mean by "hindrance?"" "You know what?" "I have other important things to do so can we just discuss this another time?" "Are you trying to escape?" "So he had a girlfriend." "How stupid..." "Of course, that's obvious!" "Let's go home, home!" "Hold your horses!" "It looks like he and his girlfriend have already broken up so..." "So..." "He's trying to end it..." "This is probably just a misunderstanding..." "Misunderstanding, my ass!" "Anyway, I know she'd insult us later on, saying, "My boyfriend was taken by a shameless old woman!"" "That's be way more better if he got together with his younger ex-girlfriend!" "That's why!" "It could be just our misunderstanding!" "Look!" "Saotome seems to want to say something too!" "So we have to hear what he wants to say first." "As of currently, Saotome is explaining why he had broken up with his ex and that he and Sakurai are in a relationship now." "Now you see?" "!" "They're dating!" "If they're dating, they should just break-up already!" "At this rate, we'll only be involving ourselves in a series of trouble with that bad-news man!" "It will only be an additional scar!" "Let's go home already!" "Yoshida, hurry up and say it!" "Say what?" "That the old woman will disappear." "And after that, let's say, "You really look good with your younger girlfriend." "Be happy, goodbye," and get it over!" "DON'T WANNA!" "Hold up, Ikeda!" "It's bad to jump to conclusions!" "How can I be not?" "!" "I will never find happiness unless I'm not with him!" "Hurry up and say it, Yoshida!" "Hurry up!" "Hurry say it!" "I will briefly play a record of a memory..." "She's the person I'm dating.. currently." "WE'RE DATING!" "Right!" "Saotome responded to this situation and appropriately admitted it!" "I'M NOT SEEING IT!" "GIVE ME THE MIC!" "DO NOT TOUCH IT!" "IT'S VALUABLE!" "Ikeda, calm down!" "Ikeda!" "Stop!" "GIVE IT TO ME!" "BRING IKEDA OUT OF THE ROOM!" "LET ME GO!" "OPEN IT, BAST*RDS!" "For now, just calm down, Ikeda!" "You shouldn't reveal your negative airs!" "It will make an indefinite mess of the situation!" "OPEN THE DOOR!" "What are you looking at?" "Huh?" "What's up with that face?" "!" "Are you trying to say that you won the lottery already?" "!" "That's not what I meant.." "It's just that.." "Enough, enough!" "Stop it!" "Just go and disappear already!" "WHAT'S HAPPENING?" "Ehhh....." "What's going on?" "!" "Stop it!" "Many people are looking at us!" "Then what?" "I don't care, let them watch!" "Enough already." "Just calm down." "Why are you acting like such a cool ass?" "In the end, I'm the one who's always putting you at the top but you don't care at all!" "You're the worst!" "Let me go!" "Is everyone... alive?" "Yes." "Yes." "I'm fine." "Ichiko-san, are you okay?" "Yes." "Are you hurt anywhere?" "I really had it." "I am truly sorry." "Umm..." "What was it again?" "Oh, right..." "Why'd you suddenly go home yesterday?" "After all.." "Wasn't I dumped?" "!" "Who the hell dumped you?" "You did!" "Didn't you say there's no way you'd go out with an old woman like me?" "Huh?" "It's just your imagination..." "Fix it, clarify it!" "I don't wanna remember it!" "I DON'T WANT TO!" "When I said I was 30 years old.." "Didn't you say, "There's no way?"" "I never said anything like that." "It's just that you looked too young for your age and I didn't expect you were 30..." "That's what I meant by my reaction." "I didn't think you'd understand it that way." "Why didn't you tell me that time?" "I wouldn't know at all if that made you angry." "Why is it my fault now?" "!" "Why is it my fault now?" "!" "It's over, huh?" "It is over." "It's your fault, Ikeda." "You should be more grateful, that man!" "Feeling better yet?" "Is your head going all messed up inside now, Ichiko-san?" "Didn't I say to properly convey your thoughts out of your mouth?" "I..." "Ichiko..." "I didn't mean to make you furious or cry." "I just thought that I didn't like it anymore." "Kishi-san..." "Why did you go and flip the page of her bad memories?" "Forgive me..." "It was my fault." "I'm sorry." "Let's go." "Ichiko-san?" "I'm tired." "I'll be going home." "Eh?" "I want to go home and sleep." "Then..." "Why don't you just stay the night with me?" "You don't have to worry about things at my room." "I already properly explained things to her." "I want to sleep at my own house today." "That so?" "Is there a train this time?" "Then I'll walk back home." "Then.." "I'll walk you all the way to your house." "I'm worried about something bad that may happen to you there." "Read the atmosphere, Saotome." "I'm really seriously tired." "Sorry..." "But for now..." "Can you leave me alone?" "It's really... quite tiring for me." "Getting all involved with this man will bring me nothing but exhaustion." "Getting entangled with you makes me exhausted." "Ichiko-san..." "I'm sorry but ..." "Read the situation already!" "How annoying!" "Why don't you say your greetings first?" "Greetings, huh?" "Right..." "Goodbye." "What are we gonna do now?" "Sleep." "When we wake-up?" "That is true..." "Well, for now.." "Let's put Saotome aside!" "Why don't we work?" "To uplift the spirit!" "True enough..." "We're old, already." "We should think better of our lives." "Oooh!" "We think alike, Ikeda!" "You can also be positive at times!" "I'll do my best to teach you next time!" "I just wanted to get out of the zone of "Hopeless Love"" "Well, escaping from love and focusing on the job is the right thing." "Right thing?" "Is surrendering the person we love the right thing?" "We can no longer love Saotome again!" "We have to love our job now!" "Right?" "That has gotta be a lie!" "It's not a lie." "Having no love at all is not a bad thing." "We only have our work." "We LOVE our job." "I wanna see him." "We don't want to see him!" "Let's just leave Saotome aside now!" "We LOVE our job, you see." "I don't wanna see Saotome." "I love my job." "RIGHT!" "Our job is the best!" "We can receive money!" "We love our job!" "Our job is the best!" "We can receive money!" "I don't want to see Saotome." "I love my job." "Here we are." "Thank you so much." "To be honest..." "The other day's work was interesting." "But it was slightly questionable." "Questionable?" "How do I say this..." "It had a naive feeling into it or something." "A little naive?" "The feelings of Ketsuko wanting to meet him.." "..It was heavy." "Well, I do understand the excessive happiness in it..." "But...." "Isn't it a bit innocent about how they think complicatedly about their future?" "Because I've been a kouhai in that field too..." "[Kouhai- underclassman]" "So, I still lack some experience with love..." "Back on my younger years..." "Having an eternal unchanging love..." "Honestly, that's unbelievable." "The experience of losing love once..." "The moment we grab hold of happiness..." "You'd become hopelessly worried, right?" "It scares me." "I think that I might have thought of it at times too..." "Sakurai-san, did you also experience th..." "Uh, no..." "That's really..." "That's true." "Uhh..." "I'm sorry..." "Did I say something I shouldn't have?" "Not really..." "That just probably was..." "An illusion." "You could say it was something I lost on the way..." "Are you planning to talk?" "Haven't we always sealed it?" "!" "Well..." "Isn't it that bad if we told Ochi-san about it?" "We've been doing our utmost best to hide it!" "Right?" "We don't have a choice." "No matter what, the bad memory of that day was bound to be opened again." "I sincerely... apologise." "I... was supposed to get married." "The wedding date and reception has been decided." "I and that man even started to live together." "At that time when I resigned , my senpai gave me a bouquet of flowers." "... and got told that I should be happy." "Ichiko-san, thank you for your hard work." "I hope for happiness for you." "Thank you so much." "I have already prepared the dessert, so can you take out the bread?" "Okay..." "What a delicious smell..." "Coming." "Yes?" "I'm sorry for coming so suddenly." "What did you come here for?" "!" "No matter what, I wanted to see you!" "Wait-wait!" "For the meanwhile, let's talk outside." "I got pregnant." "I went to the doctor today, and said I'm already on my sixth week." "I.... "What should I do?" I didn't know what to." "For that while, I left everything to him." "I didn't want to cry... or to get angry..." "I pretended I didn't know anything." "I... want to get married to her." "She is pregnant with my child..." "And I have a responsibility to fulfill." "Forgive me..." "She really so hard cried..." "She was serious, and she did her best." "But Ichiko..." "You didn't even cry or get angry." "It felt like you didn't really love me that much." "So, I... will choose her." "Sakurai-san..." "Why is this happening to me?" "I didn't know too well..." "about what should I do to myself?" "No matter what I do, I always directly think about bad things." "Things always happen unexpectedly..." "In the end, I blamed myself." "I always stupidly thought that I should stop myself..." "I can never say what I think..." "Umm..." "Does anyone... wanna say something?" "No reaction?" "Or a comment?" "Someone?" "Anything at all?" "Hatoko, what do you think?" "Ochi-san is a good person." "Oh, I see." "So he is." "Could Ochi-san be... interested in Sakurai now?" "Wait a minute!" "Don't be overconfident!" "But didn't he kiss her?" "!" "The girl was telling a sad story while crying beside the beach shore..." "And because he got in the flow, he was being invited so he kissed her!" "It's not like a kiss can only happen if both parties are in love, you know?" "!" "Well, yeah." "You're right." "But isn't he a good person?" "Yes!" "That's being too narcissistic!" "Then what should we do?" "That's obvious." "Then..." "I think it's about time we went back, right?" "That is true." "I feel things are really bad now." "I understand." "It's not like we're thinking of doing something bad." "Coming." "EEHH?" "Yoshida!" "Hurry!" "Open the door!" "Hurry!" "I LOVE SAOTOME!" "YOU DODN'T LOVE HIM!" "Long time no see." "Long time no see." "I'm glad you're home." "Here." "Since this is for a woman..." "I wanted to make something different and very beautiful..." "You're very sweaty..." "I walked to get here." "That other day, you walked all the way home, right?" "I thought of the same..." ""Should I also walk too?"" "Then.." "I'll get you some clothes..." "Wait, wait." "Hey, but why fish with tulips?" "Does it have any meaning?" "Meaning?" "There's none." "When I make something, it naturally comes to me." "How about fish and tulips?" "Both can not breathe without water." "What if the two of us go on a vacation?" "Vacation?" "Right." "Somewhere you wanna go?" "Like to the onsen, perhaps." "I'm quite busy." "Sorry." "Oh, I see." "I have work to do... and the game I was waiting for has is finally been released." "I can't wait to play it." "A child?" "Not that I care, but..." "Choosing his games over Ichiko?" "He's just killing time, isn't he?" "!" "Couldn't he have come yesterday because he had spare time?" "That's not true!" "Look!" "He even made such a beautiful art for her." "That's because he thinks he can just lure the women that easily under the palm of his hand!" "Answer it." "Ah, sorry." "How was your date with Ochi-san?" "Did it go well?" "What do you mean by Kamakura date?" "Did you and Ochi-san go to Kamakura?" "[Kamakura:" "Name of the place that they went to]" "Ah, yes." "For work reasons, you see..." "He drove me there in his car so I could get ideas for the work I was making." "Only that?" "Only that?" "So you say..." "But I bet you were in a good mood when you were with him." "There's no way that could happen!" "Why are being defensive?" "I'm not." "I told you it was just a matter of work." "This atmosphere seems kinda bad." "She's being suspected!" "But how should we tell the truth?" ""I was kissed by him but everything's good?"" "That would make it all the more complicated." "I'm going home." "Then.." "Do you wanna eat something?" "Like, to a near cafe over here..." "No." "I'm busy, after all." "Playing games?" "With your games, right?" "That's right." "Even you're busy too, aren't you?" "But I'm not the same with you." "Don't you have anything splendid to do?" "Taking us high in the sky and then dropping us again." "I've had enough." "I don't have any data recorded where one day could pass by without any conflicts at all while she's with him." "I don't like it!" "That's right." "From now on, we must rethink all of our decisions." "Please wait!" "I know they get into troubles at times..." "But this doesn't mean it's over, that Saotome is a bad guy!" "We shouldn't think too much about this." "This will only make their relationship more unstable!" "That's why!" "Let's think positive and keep moving forward, okay?" "Then, let me ask you!" "What do you mean by stepping forward?" "What's that about?" "Too boring." "After all, that was all about work." "So you say..." "At first I thought you'd do great with him." "Because you did complement and say that he was such a good guy to you." "I think you made the wrong decision." "Reiko..." "Hm?" "Actually, I am currently in a relationship with someone." "Seriously?" "!" "Who?" "Saotome-kun..." "Eh?" "Wait" " You don't" " Why didn't you tell me?" "!" "Sorry..." "It was... quite difficult for me to say it..." "Hold up..." "He's 30 years old, right?" "He's 30 years old, right?" "Saotome-kun?" "Don't nod at me!" "If you're dating him, what are you gonna do?" "Do you have plans to marry?" "Marry?" "Ichiko, you are 30 years old already." "You don't have time and space for fun love and games!" "You understand?" "What to do..." "Even if no matter how much she loves Saotome..." "You're right, I never thought about marriage." "Not everything should be about marriage!" "It'd be enough if they had pure love, isn't it?" "Is thinking about marriage a bad thing?" "We... are all gathered here for the sake of making Sakurai Ichiko happy!" "Then if ever we do not reach our primary goal with him, shouldn't we move on and find another one?" "You're being positive now, Ikeda!" "I don't hate that." "It's not about being positive, you know?" "!" "Well, putting everything in place, it may not seem so bad at all." "After all, in living organisms..." "It is a wiser decision to find a means for survival." "Rats choosing a path without traps..." "No matter how filthy the food, they'd still eat it." "That's the same with humans!" "A filthy Saotome?" "We have to consider such options where we can pave a smooth path for Sakurai Ichiko." "This is good!" "That's it!" "So good!" "Thinking critically." "Ehh?" "Then you mean..." "We just need to follow what Ikeda has to say!" "But do we love Saotome?" "Saotome is probably not up for it." "DON'T WANNA." "It is true that Sakurai Ichiko falling for him makes it difficult for marriage." "We didn't consider his future at all." "For Saotome being unstable and calling out to love..." "We must also face the facts." "It's time we stopped running away." "We must look ahead only." "Then, are we planning we break it off?" "NO!" "Well, if we suddenly did..." "What should we do?" "This time's quarrel..." "Could be our stepping stone of making them break up." "Even if we don't have to do it out of trouble..." "If we leave them be, nature will take over and they'll surely break up." "If you do.." "Soon she will turn 31, then 32, then 33, then 40 years old!" "How'd that happen?" "That's right!" "Men can't understand!" "Instead of wasting time..." "In order to prevent the possibility of this woman's future to be destroyed..." "WE HAVE TO STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!" "We must decide the deadline..." "Deadline?" "A month..." "If there is no progress in one month..." "Instead of being dumped..." "Let's settle it "the end" with Saotome!" "Amazing!" "It has been produced to a book." "It will be released next week." "What's wrong?" "Somehow..." "Is this really okay?" "I wonder if there would be anyone willing to spend their money for this book?" "Does it have a worth?" "Saying that something you made doesn't have any worth..." "You shouldn't say that." "I think I told you before..." "If you want to do some work..." "You have to write seriously hard." "Right..." "Saying that your work is not worth anything..." "It applies to yourself too." "Forgive me..." "Thank you for waiting." "Then, let us toast." "Yes." "I heard from Reiko..." "Eh?" ""She may not look like it..."" ""..." "But she's the type who needs someone beside her.."" "That's what I think of myself too." "Have you thought about marriage?" "Well..." "If I find someone suitable someday..." "I just may..." "How do you describe that right person?" "For example, what kind of a person..." "Yeah, you're right..." "Someone reliable... with great enthusiasm..." "and thinks efficiently." "Has a permanent job..." "That erases Saotome from the options.." "Then... if ever... do I fit in there?" "You're really considered!" "Then will you consider me?" "Eh?" "I'll go out with you with plans for marriage..." "If you allow me to..." "Ehh?" "He's joking, right?" "Of course." "There's no way he's saying that seriously." "If this is just a joke, he's very unpredictable!" "Your joking with me, right?" "No, I'm not joking with you..." "Ehh" " Wait--- is this serious?" "After saying that, I'm in a good mood." "He must only be just shocked after he kissed her that time." "But it doesn't look like that to me!" "It's not the usual Ochi-san!" "But what he's saying isn't what he usually says too." "Umm..." "Well..." "Hey, wait!" "Are you seriously going to react?" "Ochi-san must be far off from what we expected from him, and he's kinda weird at times, but..." "But to respond to serious matters must also be responded with serious answers!" "That's good manners!" "Who'd want to just suddenly accept this?" "!" "It hurts!" "But no matter what, we must respond with the right precaution!" "Yes!" "We better do it first to the fool before we become the fools ourselves!" "That~is~so~right!" "Then I'd like to ask for your attention for a while..." "Sakurai Ichiko and Saotome is still in a relationship..." "Umm..." "I am really very grateful for you to say those words to me but..." "Actually, I am... going out with Saotome now." "Ah, is that so?" "I had a hunch you were." "Forgive me..." "Is it going smoothly?" "No..." "We just recently got in a fight..." "But despite that..." "You still love him, right?" "The conditions you gave a while ago..." "Doens't qualify him." "Just as you say." "It's not that I can't understand." "Saotome must be... also desperately looking for someone he can be with..." "Whereas people like me appreciate serious women..." "With that love, I can't win." "Did something happen?" "I had a person I love but that's a talk from the past." "She was a designer I worked with..." "She has a husband." "Since she's married, I couldn't do anything." "I was normally trying to keep my feelings back." "But..." "It doesn't apply to Saotome, huh?" "How do I say this..." "There's some things Saotome can do that I can't." "Why did we arrive at this conversation?" "Was I trying to hide under him as an excuse?" "This love cannot be..." "The Ochi-san today..." "seems kinda dark, doesn't he?" "He might have a complex on Saotome..." "He looked weak at times, but he's actually strong." "In fact, he must also be just like us, right?" "I just suddenly thought of something." "Should I say it?" "Ochi-san..." "Since I'm going out with Saotome..." "Do you have feelings of wanting to take away his woman?" "I will not deny it." "To be honest, I can't say if it's that how it seems but..." "But I'm not so sure myself." "But it's really more than that...." "Making you my wife would be so great." "That's what I seriously think." "Saying it like this doesn't make me confident." "I really like Ochi-san today." "It would have been better if he said it from the start." "There is no such thing..." "Well..." "Can you seriously think about this?" "About me." "She should just say it!" "That she's really planning to break up with him!" "If we're not sure, how are we gonna pull this off?" "Right." "There's still 2 weeks before Sunday." "We can't be rash." "You don't need to answer right now." "For now, I'll wait patiently." "Okay." "Parents have a lot to look at." "Yes, right?" "Reiko, is your husband alright?" "I choose a harmonious family after all." "Right?" "That so?" "Of course!" "Doesn't look like that!" "Not really... when he's in front of me, we're all fine." "Express how you feel now..." "Yes..." "Yes, you're right..." "I still can't believe this is happening." "It looks like this week, the sales increased dramatically." "Do you think there's a secret to being popular?" "Sorry about what happened previously..." "I upset you..." "I began to feel that we are not happy any more." "Therefore..." "I have decided that we break up..." "After she sent that message to him..." "Two weeks had already passed." "In the end, we don't get any response." "No time." "No tears." "She may already know what this means..." "Well, that's what that means after all." "Well, let's do this in return." "Let's just say that their relationship had been just a dream." "That's what I feel now." "This is the result we came up with." "Time produce the right decision." "Well, it's over." "The End." "We've finally been released!" "Now, let's call Ochi-san!" "Did you forget that we made Ochi-san wait for so long?" "You do not need to answer now." "For now, I'll wait patiently." "See?" "You're right." "There's no way he's waiting." "It doesn't mean that she's an easy target, you know?" "!" "That's also true too." "It would have been fine if he's not waiting..." "But we can't leave it be!" "It's rude to him!" "You're right." "Which part of that?" "Yes." "Let's take a majority vote." "In the end, we're still voting?" "Who thinks we should call h..." "There, there!" "As talked about!" "You knew, didn't you?" "Hello, It's Sakurai." "This is Ochi." "Thanks for your hardwork." "Same to you, too." "Hey..." "Do you wanna go and eat with me next week?" "I want to talk about the next book." "The next book?" "Yes." "We received positive responses to your book." "Ride on this great timing, and take a new leap." "Yes." "Yoshida, she said that Sakurai had to take a step forward!" "Well but, she still hasn't responded..." "Now is not the time to waste time." "Yoshida, hurry!" "Umm..." "I have ended my relationship with Saotome." "It has been two weeks..." "Is that so?" "I see." "Sakurai, where are you now?" "At train station Nakameka." "Nakameka..." "Umm, sorry..." "Can you wait there for a while?" "Pardon?" "Can you wait until I get there?" "I'm coming up and I'll confess to you." "See you later." "Eh?" "Umm.." "You don't notify confessions, normally." "But surprises doesn't really fit him at all." "No." "It's enough a surprise." "I'm interested in Ochisan!" "I'm getting all excited!" "Yes?" "Hello?" "Ichiko-san?" "Can I... see you now?" "Saotome~" "Ignore him, hang up!" "Ochi-san is coming for her!" "He's on his way to confess to her!" "After receiving the message, I thought of a lot of things." "I really reflected on my faults..." "I'm really sorry." "That's why..." "Can we restart again?" "This is the first time I heard him saying he's reflected!" "There is hope in his words!" "Hope, my ass!" "Which part of "moving forward" do you not understand?" "Everyone deserves a chance!" "Saotome already intends to change!" "Isn't it fine to believe him?" "He's really trying seriously for the one he loves!" "It is a beautiful thing!" "BEAUTIFUL!" "Yoshida, make these two shut up!" "I do not understand." "Even though we were that decided to break them up..." "There's still fragments of Saotome left in here." "We can't pretend to say that we have finished everything." "It's wiser to not forget which weighs more better and right." "If there's still desire, shouldn't we do our utmost best to fulfill that?" "!" "Ah, ouch!" "This is no time to be messing around!" "She needs a stable man and get happily married!" "We can't overlook the sincerity in Saotome's actions!" "WE CAN'T!" "THERE IS!" "NONE AT ALL!" "THERE IS!" "NONE AT ALL!" "If you choose Ochi-san..." "If you choose Ochi-san..." "At this rate, he will be the goal." "If you choose Saotome..." "There's penalty." "The goal.. or the penalty?" "The goal!" "The penalty!" "Goal!" "Penalty!" "CAN YOU STOP IT?" "!" "It's too much for me." "I've reached my limit!" "Welcome back." "I'm home." "Do you want a cup of coffee?" "Yes." "Was the art exhibition a success?" "Yes." "We moved some artworks." "After that, we all went drinking." "You've done well...." "Thank you." "You know what?" "Hey..." "What?" "I sold some yesterday." "Eh?" "One of the visitors liked my work." "He said he'd buy it for 200,000 yen." "What work?" "The one you said you liked." "The seahorses?" "Yes." "Amazing!" "I'm happy for you." "Congratulations." "How about you?" "Eh?" "What you wanted to say." "Just a while ago, I finished writing the book." "Now I can say goodbye to working up all night." "That so?" "You've done well." "After I get the money, want to eat some meat?" "Meat?" "It'll be my treat." "Really?" "Why didn't you tell him?" "That her novel has been appointed to become a movie." "We couldn't tell him that moment..." "Not when he's all proud." "Was it that bad to spoil his small success?" "If that's so, then you couldn't say that his achievement is small compared to Ichika's?" "She couldn't even say what she wanted to." "She's just going with what her partner is saying." "That won't change what the man thinks about." "In the end, that would mean that Sakurai never really matured at all, right?" "That was that, this is this." "Wanting not to hurt the other person..." "That's normal." "Now that they're happily living together..." "She should be satisfied!" "Is she really satisfied?" "Is she happy?" "Hatoko, what do you think?" "I do not know." "But I will try to." "Hatoko ..." "Ishibashi, this is your fault, okay?" "After that time, Ochi-san resigned as project director." "A new director was appointed to replace him." "We don't even know what he's saying." "I hate frogman." "My ears can't comprehend!" "Anyone, please do translate that!" "For now..." "For now, we're just feeling quite troubled, but that will only fail our mood!" "It's my fault, you say..." "We still haven't find out who that mysterious woman was!" "That's not the case." "You always make decisions that always fail." "If we didn't follow all the stupid ideas you had all these time..." "We would have been living a more happy life now!" "That's not..." "It is!" "Yoshida, say something!" "As what you have said..." "Everything would have been ideal." "But the reality can be slightly altered." "Correct." "Because of Ishibashi..." "Sakurai Ichiko lost her way to marriage, doesn't enjoy her job, and she could have let go of her most important partner." "Instead, she chose a life with him where she is living in suffering." "It's all your fault." "Ishibashi..." "Hey!" "Ikeda, you went too far." "What the hell?" "It's my fault now?" "From the beginning, if you didn't hesitate..." "This shouldn't have happened!" "Wait, what about the meeting?" "No matter how serious we talk about this..." "That woman will come and take over, either way." "Is there a meaning for this meeting?" "Hatoko..." "What's happening?" "What is this?" "Ishibashi?" "Ishibashi..." "Ishibashi!" "Ishibashi, Ishibashi, Ishibashi!" "Wake up!" "Ishibashi!" "Ishibashi!" "When I let the publisher see it, they were quiet overjoyed." "Thank God." "It's been a while so I got nervous." "Well, I also thought it was really expected from you." "I think living in London had really polished your skills." "Well, there's a lot of new life experiences everyday so, yeah." "I want to work in Japan again, so please contact me if you have a job settled for me." "Of course." "I'll help you in any way I can." "Thank you." "As usual, you're still so kind as ever." "That's a given." "Because of the circumstances, it made me like this." "Eh?" "Forgive me." "Why are you guiltily apologizing?" "I don't really have hold any grudge on anyone." "I don't regret it." "After all, it was something I chose myself." "Do you have time?" "How about dinner?" "That's good." "There's a nearby Brazilian restaurant here." "Okay." "It seems very good." "Let's it." "Yup." "It's really soft." "It's good." "Delicious." "You're forcing it." "Don't say that." "We must pretend we're happy." "It's scary if another disaster strikes again." "Ishibashi's still in a coma." "It's been two days since he went cold." "Let's try the lamb meat." "You still want to eat?" "Yes, I want to try" "Isn't that too much?" "Excuse me, I'd like to order ..." "Ochi-san." "Sakurai-san." "Good evening." "What a coincidence." "This is a designer, Mihoko Yamazaki-san." "We're working on a job currently." "This is Sakurai Ichiko." "The author who I was working with under my guidance." "Greetings." "Nice to meet you." "I'm Sakurai." "I heard you finished your second book." "Yes." "Can I read the original draft?" "Of course." "Please do critic and give me your opinions about it." "Right." "How are the talks with the book's movie?" "Is everything going smoothly?" "Yes." "That is not something to talk in here." "Go and spit it out." "The worst." "Your book made the film and got reprinted repeatedly." "The company is very pleased with this." "From now on, do your best." "Thank you very much." "See you next time." "It's been a while, Saotome-kun." "When did you come back?" "A month ago." "Ehh?" "Got back?" "From where?" "They seem to know each other." "I have a bad hunch." "Hey..." "Didn't she say a while ago that she's a designer?" "Let's go." "Okay." "This is..." "So that was the right answer?" ""Cupcake woman."" "I didn't know." "What?" "The novel's movie." "I'm sorry." "I got to busy and forgot to tell you about it." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Why'd you hide it from me?" "I did not hide it from you." "Your feeling quite big, aren't you?" "Should I not have treated you for dinner?" "I'm full enough." "I'm going home." "Ahh--Ehh, w-wait a while." "So you came." "I have something to tell you." "What's up?" "I'm sorry but..." "You have to move out of here." "That's it." "I will continue to work hard in the future." "I am hoping for best wishes." "Thank you very much for coming today." "You did great." "We are gathered here today to commemorate Miss Sakurai's success..." "Saotome didn't come, huh?" "Hey..." "Isn't it undoubtful that in Sakura's whole life Today is the bestest night?" "It should be, right?" "But then... the most important person in her life is not here to celebrate with her." "What the hell." "Aside from that..." "It's because of Saotome that her mood is not riding with the current situation." "Wait up!" "Can't somebody say anything at all?" "!" "Should I take you home?" "No need, I'm fine." "Well, I'm on my way home to so" "No." "I am really fine on my own." "Ah, is that so?" "Kobayashi-chan!" "I'm leaving first, so I'll leave everything to you." "Thank you for working hard." "Well then, goodbye." "Right..." "I get it, I get it." "Yes." "Goodbye..." "Rei-chan..." "You did great." "After this, do you have anything planned?" "I'm sorry..." "Yuka suddenly got sick so I have to get home immediately." "Is that so?" "Is she fine?" "My husband just called me, you see." "Let's go drinking next time, just us." "Okay?" "Okay." "Take care, okay?" "Thanks, bye!" "Want help?" "This would do." "Okay." "Sorry to trouble you." "Want to go for a drink?" "Well, you see..." "I still haven't told you my opinions about your second book." "I'm sorry." "I think I really am going home for today." "All the nervousness got me tired." "Yeah, you're right." "I'm sorry." "We're off!" "Bye!" "Take the train to Hibiya." "Looks like I waited on the wrong spot." "Why didn't you show up?" "It's the important day of your important person." "Isn't that fine in its own ways?" "Even if I weren't there, I know she's having just enough fun." "If you're seriously saying that, you're a hopeless idiot, aren't you?" "She wanted you to come more than anyone else." "At least for this day..." "Can't you abandon your useless pride for once?" "Why are you acting righteous, old man?" "You like Ichiko that much?" "What?" "I knew, alright?" "About Ichiko..." "About Mihoko too..." "This has nothing to do with Mihok" "You loved her, didn't you?" "But then I went out with her, and you think I was messing around." "But you know..." "Not taking actions at all is all your fault." "She was going to get married." "So what?" "Getting married and what?" "If you loved her that much, why didn't you steal her away?" "You're always using a lot of excuses..." "Your cowardice becomes a matter of course only." "Can you not try and lecture me like you did something for yourself?" "You too." "You're obviously just a brat who thinks about nothing but himself!" "What?" "!" "Your the one who destroyed her family, right?" "Because of an impulsive action..." "You made someone else's life f*cked up." "Don't you feel responsible at all?" "I didn't destroy it." "It's all the same." "You're wrong!" "I wasn't playing around!" "Mihoko went to London by herself and left her husband and me." "Why did she have to run away?" "You're still a brat who doesn't understand anything she's been through at all!" "It's not that I didn't understand!" "That woman is not who you think she is!" "Just stop it already." "Aren't we stupid to be fighting over that woman?" "It hurts..." "Even back before..." "I have already loathed you!" "What did you come here for?" "Umm...." "I think I do really need to hear your opinions about my second book." "Why did you come back?" "What do you really think about me?" "You don't even like me at all." "Why do you have an ambiguous attitude?" "Even after I kissed you..." "After you stood me up that day when I wanted to confess..." "Although I have always behaved that I didn't care the least bit..." "But do you think that I really don't feel anything at all?" "!" "STOP TREATING ME LIKE AN IDIOT!" "I'm sorry." "Umm..." "About the thing with Ochi-san..." "I lost it." "What?" "The studio." "My partner is having troubles with the rent money." "Making something..." "It's not that it's the answer..." "Just because I made a great piece doesn't mean it'll get recognition." "It's a matter of being sold." "In the end, it's just "Luck."" "Just because Sakurai is selling a lot of her novels..." "It doesn't mean that she's just so lucky!" "Saotome is jealous of her success." "So, he's trying hard to deny it." "And then they dated, and got spun around." "Indeed, these two happenings..." "It's fine to think that it is the source." "I don't want them to quarrel!" "I want them to get along!" "You are right." "For my novel to be bought..." "In the end, I just got lucky." "Even if the decision for the movie of the novel was quite unbelievable." "It's not really such a great novel, and don't have any pride for it at all." "This is no time to be giggling about it, right?" "Ochi-san once said..." ""Denying your own work is equivalent to denying your own self."" "Saying that won't make me happy." "What?" "You're sympathizing." "Am I that pathetic?" "That's not..." "Are you kidding me?" "Saotome is scary!" "This is bad!" "For now... apologize, Yoshida!" "Apologize!" "This is not the time to apologize!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Let me go!" "I'm throwing my stuffs away!" "Just please stop!" "Stop it, I beg you!" "I said let me go!" "What is this?" "So cold!" "What the hell is this?" "This is awful!" "Just what is this?" "!" "Such a thing has never happened before!" "This is the end!" "The end of the world is coming!" "What should we do?" "Apologize." "Just say something quick and apologize!" "Yes, that's the only option." "We don't have to apologize." "But there's no other way!" "If this does not end, the world will be destroyed!" "SAKURAI ICHIKO WILL COLLAPSE!" "I know, I'll quickly apologize!" "There's no need to apologize!" "But there is no other wa..." "Ishibashi!" "Wha" " What did you just say?" "We cannot apologize." "Let's end everything.. with Saotome." "Wait up a while." "There's no way they should be breaking up now, is it?" "!" "Even if we have come to this point, are you saying we should stay like this?" "That's right!" "Why?" "Because..." "Because if they break up now..." "Everything we have done from the start will have to be for nothing!" "We already lost Ochi-san!" "It can't be helped." "We should have gone against our urge when she talked to Saotome that day." "It's not about that time, was it?" "!" "It should have always been like this!" "Even this!" "It is what Sakurai Ichiko would have still chosen to do!" "We had a lot of timings that these two should have broken up!" "Yes!" "IT'S TOO LATE TO DO IT NOW!" "I really do love him." "Hatoko..." "I'M SURE I LOVE HIM!" "Against the three of us, there's no way you can win with votes!" "I disagree!" "If you really choose this..." "At this rate..." "Sakurai Ichiko will never be happy." "Saotome will never be happy." "The two of them will never be happy!" "Don't say it like it's been decided!" "When are we gonna stop running?" "Because you don't want to admit defeat..." "We should firmly grasp everything and throw away the bad things!" "NO!" "LOSING HIM WILL MAKE ME SAD!" "Yoshida, quickly apologize and prevent collapse!" "DON'T TRY TO AVOID IT!" "THE SAME CYCLE WILL HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN!" "I WANT TO BE WITH HIM!" "I WANT TO STAY!" "I DON'T WANT TO BE SEPARATED FROM HIM!" "After we do apologize, I am definitely sure that Saotome will change for the better!" "Saotome is never going to change!" "THIS IS NOT SAKURAI ICHIKO'S FAULT AND THIS IS NO ONE'S FAULT!" "YOU'RE STILL SAYING THAT?" "!" "YOU DON'T KNOW THE RESPONSIBILITIES!" "I AM!" "JUST REALISTICALLY SPEAKING OF THE TRUTH!" "BUT!" "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO BE TOGETHER!" "A DAY IS SURELY COMING WILL THEY HAVE TO PART!" "IF WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW AFTER HIM, THERE IS ONLY SUFFERING WAITING AT THE END!" "I'VE ALWAYS.." "ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS BEEN BOTTLING IT IN!" "EVERYONE, SHUT UP!" "She appeared..." "Have we reached the limit again?" "By objection" "We will stop with the majority voting..." "This time, we have considered everyone's opinions  and have decided to break up with Saotome." "WHY?" "!" "At this rate, if someone asks Sakurai Ichiko if she has someone she loves..." "Do you think she can proudly say "YES" with her head held high?" "I think not." "And even so..." "For people who thinks they do not like themselves, can never think of being happy!" "I've been thinking..." "How do we make and provide a happy and stable life for Sakurai Ichiko?" "Now I finally understand." "We like Saotome..." "But in order to stay beside Saotome..." "Ishibashi fell under a deep slumber." "We are killing a part of ourselves..." "There is no need for us to stay with him!" "Even Ishibashi, Ikeda..." "Hatoko and Kishi-san too..." "If we are not together, there is no meaning!" "The most important thing... is not about loving someone else..." "It's about being with someone who you can love and be yourself!" "That's why..." "To love oneself For that reason..." "I choose "breaking up."" "No objection." "Because the speaker... is you!" "Well, if that is so..." "I will also submit to your decision." "You're the Speaker, after all.." "I only obey... the Speaker." "Thank you." "Just now..." "There is no need for you." "Please go out." "She disappeared." "Yoshida..." "Yoshida, quickly!" "I was really sad... that you couldn't come to today's party." "I wanted to give you a call..." "I wanted to say that I really wanted you to come." "But I couldn't." "I thought that it couldn't be helped." "In the end..." "I really..." "I really disliked the me who couldn't do anything." "I'm suffering..." "It felt like I was suffocating..." "Even you feel that way too..." "It should be better.... ...If we break up for the best." "That'd be much easier for the both of us." "No..." "That's not it..." "Forgive me..." "For the last time, I'll tell you the truth..." "I love you..." "But..." "I hate myself when I'm with you..." "So, we can never stay together..." "I want to love myself..." "Otherwise, I would never be happy..." "That's why..." "That's why..." "I will break up with you." "Break up and be alone again." "Wait, Ichiko-san!" "Ichiko-san!" "Ichiko-san!" "We shouldn't look back, you know." "Ichiko-san!" "Wait up!" "Ichiko-san!" "Hatoko..." "Yes..." "Ichiko-san, please wait!" "PLEASE DON'T GO!" "WHERE I'M NOT WITH YOU!" "Well then..." "Let us begin the meeting." "Subtitles brought and produced by FURRITSUBS ^____^ " "Arigato Gaozaimasu!" "Love and respect ^^,"
