"Saeko-san." "Saeko-san, wake up." "It's almost time." "Wow, pretty!" "I love the view of sunrise from here." "I wanted to show it to Saeko-san no matter what." "I'm so happy." "This is the best birthday present ever." "Happy birthday." "Saeko-san." "Thank you." "Souta-kun." "It's Saeko-san's birthday?" "Eh?" "Her birthday's coming up, right?" " How do you know?" "You were just saying "Saeko-san happy birthday"." "I was saying it?" "Just now?" " Yeah." "What a beautiful color." "Like a sunrise." " I said that too?" "What too?" " Ah, never mind." "That's right." "I modeled this after a sunrise." "The sunrise in winter, it's especially beautiful because of the weather clearing up." "If we could watch it together on Saeko-san's birthday, it would be the best." "And then catching a cold or something because it's cold." "Are you okay?" "I'm sorry, it's because of me." " No, it's fine." "I was the one who said we should go." "Thank you." "Ah, this," "I made warm soup to bring along." "Drink this and feel better, okay?" "Are you stupid?" "Being dragged to watch the sunrise in the middle of winter would be an annoyance." "Besides, it's a given that she will spend her birthday with her husband." "I'm aware of that." "Stop talking about useless things, and get back to work." "We're busy here." "Kaoruko-san seems to be in a bad mood?" "Scary." "Let's get to work." "Oi." "Eh?" "Didn't you say we're going to have dinner with friends on that day?" "Don't expect me to remember every little thing." "It's Chef Tenno's home party." "It's all fun and games for you, but for me, it's part of business." "I have human rights too, you know." " Hahaha, human rights?" "Because of things like this, they say housewifes have such a narrow outlook on life." "Since you live in your little world, you think like this..." "I'm a housewife by your demand, right?" "If you're going to say such things, then I'll get a job." "Don't change the subject." "You're going to go along with my plans." "If I have to put up with being treated like that, I want to work outside." "What are you saying?" "Besides, what kind of work can you do that is worth going against your husband's opposition?" "What's this?" "Are you siding with him, mom?" "I think Yoshioka-san is a fine husband." "He's the vice editor-in-chief in a top publishing company, your mother-in-law has already passed away, your father-in-law is being cared for by his brother's family." "What's the big deal with minding yourself to keep such a perfect husband in good spirits?" "That's your job." "Work hard at that job." "Job." "Why don't you confess to Koyurugi-san?" "Kaoruko-san?" " What?" "How about we all go out for a drink some time?" " Eh?" "The sales have gone up considerably this month, so let's have a celebration party." "Ah.." "Then, I'll search for a suitable place." "Really?" "Thanks." "Hi." "This is cute." " Have you tried this before?" "It's pain d'éspices." "It's pleasantly spicy and there's lots of honey in it, so it's moist." "Sounds delicious." "Then I'll have one of these." "And bonbon chocolates in the biggest box you have." "And cognac truffles." "Okay." "Ah, would orangettes keep well?" " It's no problem." "Okay." "Here you go." " Thanks." "Hm?" " It's your birthday right?" "January 22." "Eh?" "You remembered." "Ah, then, should I order a birthday cake?" "Really?" " Yes." "Would it be fine?" "Leave it to me." "I'll make an exceptionally amazing cake." "Umm." "I want to celebrate with Souta-kun." "Then, should we eat the cake together?" "Yes." "But not just the cake, would you eat me too?" " Eh?" "!" "Is it okay?" "Here you go." " Thanks." "Um " " See you." "Souta-kun." " Yes." "Would you make a birthday cake?" "Of.." "Of course." "Gladly." "Ah, wait a second." "Yes." " Yes." "Thank you." "See you." "See you." "[Name:" "Yoshioka Saeko]" "You're making Saeko-san's birthday cake?" "Yeah." " I'm glad for you." "Thanks." "Ah, you actually want to celebrate together, right?" "Yeah." "But it's okay." "It's enough for me that Saeko-san will be eating the cake I made on her birthday." "Rather than that." "Saeko-san seemed a bit strange today." "She was like stocking up on items that wouldn't go bad easily." "See you." "It felt like she wasn't going to come back." "What are you talking about?" "At least, she's going to come back for the cake, right?" "Well, I guess." " I'm jealous of you." "Of what?" "It's so bothersome that" "I have to suppress my urge to hug and kiss her whenever I see her." "I totally get it." "When the person you love appears in front of your eyes, you want to kiss them." "I wonder what kind of kiss Saeko-san likes." "How does Erena like it done?" "Being kissed out of nowhere, just when I'm not expecting it, my lips being violently stolen away." " What kind of preference is that?" "Like this?" " Yes, yes." "This was very good." "What kind does Souta-kun like?" "I have to practice too." "For the time when I can do it with Kurashina-san." "Hmm, what I like is..." "No way." "Saeko-san." "This warped practice of love, will the day it will be useful really come?" "We know that we're doing something stupid." "But Saeko-san, us the foolish pair became like this after thinking of it as hard as we can." "It's true." "akamiso presents, armed with chocolate while subbing Shitsuren Chocolatier 5" "About Saeko-san's birthday cake..." "I tried to sketch some rough designs." " Wow, it's very cute." "Yes." " But the swallowtail butterfly, doesn't fly in winter, right?" "Aren't you off with the seasons?" "The butterfly is in pupal stage, passing the winter." "Anyway this butterfly doesn't exist." "What?" " This butterfly, loved chocolate, so it was going to the chocolate shop in the middle of the forest every day." "But because of that, it forgot to breed, and while in a daze of chocolate, it ended up dying from the cold." "Now, only its soul remains, but it's still continuing to go to taste the chocolates it loves so much." "It's a painful cute cake, right?" " So serious." "Eh?" "Ah, there is a different version, too." "This empty shell of the cicada goes back and forth the chocolate shop but, it's not actually there in body or soul." "It's disgusting." " Eh?" "Well, putting this one aside." "Anyway this cake's theme is pain." "What kind of thing is that for a birthday cake?" "!" "might be the response, though." "If the amount of this feeling I put in is just a tiny little bit," "I thought it would probably be fine." "I think it'll be fine." "Since it's such a beautiful cake," "Saeko-san will be pleased." "For sure." "Yeah." "I hope that's the case." "Saeko, lately you're not grumbling about your husband." "Yeah." "I decided to dedicate myself like a pro." " Pro?" "Being Yoshioka-san's wife is my job, after all." "What's with that stoic attitude?" "So I sealed away the things that would disturb my feelings." "But I've properly stocked up on treasures at home." "When I'm about to get depressed, I use those to escape reality." "What treasures, you mean chocolate, right?" "Well, that's the true form of a real housewife, though." "Welcome back." "I'm home." " Wait." "About what happened the other day." "Don't worry too much about it." "So, like we used to be, let's stay as friends and coworkers in the same shop." "Okay?" "Okay." "Understood." " Good." "Ow ow ow ow ow." "Hey, Erena." " Ow ow ow." "You were walking with a guy the other day?" "Ah, that's a friend." "Feigning ignorance again." "You were linking arms and flirting, right?" "Did it go well with Kurashina-san?" "No way." "That's just a friend." "Rather, sex-friend?" " Sex-friend?" "Wow, so you were like this." " Hmm." "He and I are really similar." "See, he has someone he loves one-sidedly too." "I suddenly thought we were the same when we were just chatting." "If it's this person, my sadness and pain, he would understand all of it." "Ah, it's my manager." "Excuse me a minute." "Hello?" "Good morning." "Eh?" "!" "With Kurashina-san?" " I was called for the PV shooting again." "Wow, that's great!" "Right?" "I can't believe it." "It's a miracle." "You have to definitely exchange contact information this time." "Yeah." "I'll work hard." "Wow, it's exciting." " What about Souta-kun?" "Did Saeko-san come to the shop?" "No, not since then." "What?" "It's a cake." "Wow, thank you." "Wow." " Happy birthday." "Thank you, Souta-kun." "I can't help but wonder." "Why isn't it me who gets to celebrate with her." "Yeah, it's fine." "Saeko-san will come to get the cake on her birthday." "Since I can see her face and tell her congratulations in person, I have to think positively." "Yes." "Let's eat." " Yeah." "I'm thinking about having the celebration party on the 22nd." "22nd?" "Saeko-san's birthday?" "I think it would be a good break point after giving off the birthday cake." "And, I thought it would be painful for Souta-kun to be alone." "You're right." "Then it's settled." "I'll go tell Souta-kun." "You're worrying about it too much." "You're getting to meet Kurashina-san again." "Yeah, if it goes well this time, we can't sleep together anymore." "Don't walk around naked in front of Kurashina-san." "It's not that I mind." "But you know, some people are put off by that." "Yeah, then, do well." "Kaoruko-san." "About the celebration party." "We decided to hold it on the 22nd." "Eh?" " Is it a bad time?" "Ah, no, not particularly." "Then I'll go make a reservation." "When we first met, I didn't really think much of him." "When Souta-kun was still in confectionery school," "I met him as the chef's son." "He had good skills and he was useful." "All I thought was that he came in handy." "Here." "When I tried the chocolates he made for Saeko-san, somehow, my heart skipped a beat," "I felt something with my whole being, but, at that time, there was nothing." " How is it?" "Nothing." "It's delicious." "After that, I heard that he suddenly took off for Paris." "What appeared after 6 years was, a fully grown man, with a gentlemanly demeanor." "Long time no see, Kaoruko-san." "Have you been well?" "Even though I'd always been watching him, I'd never noticed." "After he came back, the way I saw him changed." "I'm just a woman of that degree." "So me having feelings like this now, too, is no wonder." "Cut." "I'm telling you to be more lively." "Do it like you're having fun." " Yes." "Anyway, do it while smiling." "The smile is important." "Okay?" "Alright, go." "Let's go drinking in Miragreed after we're done here." "Where is that?" " Roppongi." "Oh, that." "Okay." "Erena!" "What was up with you today?" "Are you even trying?" " Umm." "I went out of my way to get this job for you." "Don't be so embarassing." "Get a hold of yourself." "Are you closed already?" "It's no problem, come in." "Here." "Wait just a bit, okay?" "I'll be done really soon." "We'll go to eat something." " Okay." "How is it?" "It's coming along well, right?" "The wings give off a delicate feeling." "Like this part." "Yeah, that was the most difficult part." "I failed so many times, but, when I decreased the working temperature by 2 degrees, it was fine." "It's constructed by genoise and framboise mousse in two layers." "I'm thinking of putting framboise gelée in the mousse." "(T/N for dummies: framboise is raspberry, gelée is like jello)" "Ah, that might be nice." "If the gelée and mousse are both framboise..." "Why didn't you wait?" "How was the shooting?" "Did you get a chance to talk with Kurashina-san?" "It was no good." "I got too hung up on presenting myself well in front of Kurashina-san, I couldn't work properly." "It's the worst." "I understand." "It's like that for me too." "When it comes to Saeko-san, getting hung up thinking about random things," "I can't behave like usual." "It's not the same." " Eh?" "Souta-kun changes that feeling to become his asset." "Always making tons of beautiful chocolate, you can make Saeko-san happy." "It's completely different for me." "My one-sided love doesn't help me to grow." "It's different from Souta-kun's." "It was delicious." " Hm?" "The chocolate." "And it was really gorgeous." "That's supposed to be the morning sun." "Morning sun?" " Yeah." "There's a place I've always loved." "The morning sun you see from that spot is the best." "I modeled it after that." "I wish I could see it." " Hm?" "I want to see that morning sun." "Souta-kun, wake up." " Good morning." "The morning sun already rose!" " Noo!" "Unbelievable!" "After we came all the way out here." "I wanted to see the morning sun." "It's thoroughly morning now." "And it's freezing." "What is this, geez." "Why are you laughing?" "Nothing." "I was just thinking we ran well." "Eh?" "When you think about it, there was no point to our running." "Why are we still rushing?" "Whatever, I'm going back." "Are you going to run?" "Wanna run again?" " Stop it with the running." "What is this?" "It's not interesting at all." "Oh well." "We couldn't see the morning sun, though." "But the weather's nice." "It's very pretty." "I love it." "This scenery." "Cold." "It's cold." " It is cold." "Did you just sneeze?" "Yeah." "I might need to take medicine." "You're pathetic." " Where's mine?" "What?" " Soup." "You can't just think of warming yourself up." "Sure, sure." "Here." "Souta-kun." " Hm?" "Thank you." "What for?" "I'm going to confess." " Eh?" "If I meet Kurashina-san again, I'll definitely tell him I love him." "I've decided." "I see." "Good luck." " Thanks." "Tomorrow is Saeko-san's birthday, right?" "Good luck to Souta-kun too." "Hmm, sounds like you had a good time." "What?" "I'm saying it was so cold I almost caught a cold." "Souta and Erena have mutual feelings." "What are you saying?" "It's not like that with Erena." "Then what?" "Sex-friends?" "I keep telling you, it's not just that." "Like, we normally go out for meals together too." "And sometimes just hang around doing nothing at home." "We talk about useless things, and sometimes we have serious discussions." "That's basically what a dating couple does, right?" "Souta and Erena have mutual feelings for each other." "The things I want to do with Matsuri-chan, you two are already doing lots of." "I'm jealous." "Ooh, the birthday cake." "It looks almost done." "Yeah, tomorrow's the big day." "The swallowtail butterfly turned out incredibly amazing." "It's very beautiful." "I think Saeko-san will definitely be touched." "I want to see what kind of face she will make." "Me too." " This flower is amazing too, right?" "It is." "Can I eat this?" "You can't!" "I wonder if everyone feels like this." "They're smiling but, they're crying inside, it seems like they're doing well but, they're actually falling apart." "Saeko-san isn't actually happy either, she's an imprisoned princess, waiting for me to rescue her." "There's no way, huh." "But it's fine." "Soon I will be able to see her, and tell her congratulations." "Saeko." "Saeko!" "Welcome back." "What's wrong?" "Why did you close the lights?" "I'm not even living alone, it's unbelievable that I come home and it's completely dark!" "It's a waste of money to keep them on." "Since I don't even know when you'll be back." "It's absurd of you to talk about electricity bills." "I'm the one paying for them!" "I get it." "I'll sleep with the lights open from now on." "That's what you want right?" "Good night." "What's with that attitude!" "Thank you." "Welcome." "Yes." "[Name:" "Yoshioka Saeko]" "Koyurugi-san, right?" "I'm Yoshioka." "But it suddenly came to me." "Marry this person and become a wife, like a map." "Thank you so much for your work during that time." "I'm so sorry for not being able to make a cover article." "I'm going to eat it with my husband." "It's not a problem." "Rather, I'd like to thank you." "My wife couldn't come today due to an urgent matter." "Ah, the cake, right?" "Please wait a moment." "Here it is." " Thank you." "Then.." "Excuse me." "To Saeko-san, no, to your wife, please convey my birthday wishes." "Of course." "Thank you." "Thank you." "This is the reality." "Surely this is a lesson from God." "Saeko-san." "Happy birthday." "Have to keep on working." "Souta." "Let's drink a lot today." "I'll accompany you until morning." "It'll be fun." "7:21 pm." "Souta-kun, what should I do?" "Kurashina-san is here." "There was a bar they mentioned during shooting." "I didn't think they'd be here, but I ended up coming here anyway, he's really here." "What should I do?" "I shouldn't be asking what to do, right?" "I promised I would confess when I saw him next." "That's why I came here." "I'm hanging up." "I'm off." "I'll let you know how it goes." "Eh?" "Seriously?" "Wow, what's this sudden development!" "7:57 pm." "Souta-kun," "I told him." "But..." "Umm." "Sorry." "I'll call you back." "End of messages." "The person you have called cannot be reached at the moment." "Please leave a " "Erena." "Erena's heartbroken." "(T/N: shitsuren erena)" "Kaoruko-san." " Souta-kun, you're late." "We have to go to the " " Sorry, you go ahead first." "Eh?" " Actually, start without me." "I don't think I'll be able to make it." " Eh?" "What happened?" "I have to go to Erena for a bit." "What's with that?" "Erena's not answering her phone." "It's the party for your shop, you know." "You want to meet your sex-friend that much?" "Souta-kun, you're the manager, you know?" "Everyone is working hard every day for your sake." "Today is the celebration of the results that hard work brought, right?" "We're not randomly going out to drink." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "I understand." "But I'm sorry." "Erena is " "You don't understand at all!" "Why?" "You want to meet your sex-friend that much?" "You're like a dog in mating season!" "Souta-kun only chooses frivilous bitches, huh." "But Souta-kun knowingly going along with them, you're at the same level, you're worthless!" "I'm really amazed!" "You calling me worthless," "I won't deny it, but." "How can you talk about Erena like that?" "Kaoruko-san knows nothing about Erena." "Erena complimented Kaoruko-san, saying you're beautiful and a quick worker." "She also kept calling Matsuri cute." "She always finds good things about people, and honestly praises them." "I love that about Erena." "Thanks to that, I think being with her makes me happy." "Saeko-san has always been like that too, ever since high school." "Why does Kaoruko-san always bad-mouth people?" "I, despise women who bad-mouth other women." "I don't think even a little bit that I want to be liked by Souta-kun as a woman." "It's a definite refusal." "I don't see Kaoruko-san that way either, so don't worry." "Anyway, I'll explain the situation again later." "Don't bother." "I don't want to hear it." "I'll just make some reasonable explanation to the others." "Have fun." "I'm sorry." "A one-sided love is really lonely, right?" "I felt like if I was with Souta-kun, I could share that feeling." "I thought I wouldn't be so lonely." "Do you really have to go?" "It's for work, there's no helping it." "It's my birthday..." " Why don't you call someone?" "No way, I don't want to meet anyone with this face." "What an exaggeration." "You just got a cut on top of your eye." "What will I do if it leaves a scar?" "It doesn't really matter." "You're even married now." "What's that supposed to mean?" "I'm saying I don't mind." "I mind!" " Why?" "You still want to be popular?" "With whom?" "Huh?" "Yes." "Kaoruko-san." "Where are you now?" "I'm sorry." "Still at the shop." "What happened?" "Did you have a fight with Souta?" "Not really a fight." "It's just..." "It seems that Souta-kun hates me." "Me too," "I don't like myself."
