Today has been so much fun!

So I thought it'd be nice if we could hang out together sometimes.

I too would be happy to spend more time with you, Nomoto.

I'm happy to hear that.

That... makes me blush.

Kasuga, I want to ask a favor.

Can you let me make lunch for you next Friday?

You can't.

What? Why?

Even if you love cooking so much,

I can't let you do that much since you're also working.

Japanese women sleep the least hours

out from any developed countries.

That's not it.

I had to take a half day off at work.

I go to work in the afternoon so I've got enough time.

While I have the time to,

I'd like to make a slightly elaborate lunch or something.

Also, I want to post it online.

Are you sure?

I am.

If it's alright with you, then it's fine with me.

Really?

Make sure you rest too, okay?

If it'll be too much, please let me know in the morning of the day.

That's a deal!

She loves to cook and She loves to eat

Alright!

Thank you for the meal.

Ms. Sayama, what's your CV rate?

It was at 3.2%.

That much? How about Ms. Manase?

I'm doing it right now.

Alright. Ms. Takagi?

0.002.

That's all?

I'm not sure if it's measuring well...

Are you encountering any errors?

Good work you guys!

Thanks for working hard!

You see, as usual, I'm the organizer of the year-end party,

and I'd like to do a little survey.

If the year-end party was on Friday, December 24th...?

Would you be okay with it? You wouldn't be, right?

It's a no for me. So, I'm not going.

That's right.

I see.

But, what if it was on the 25th?

Can we move the schedule to 25?

Can you give me the 24th?

Still a no.

Of course, you still won't.

I understand. I see.

But if that's the case, let's see.

That opens up the possibility of having to work the next day.

I'd be totally okay with it.

Really? Are you sure?

Alright. We'll have to adjust.

Thank you so much.

Thanks.

Good work.

Christmas has come a year too soon, hasn't it?

Have you guys made plans for Christmas already?

Well, yes.

Really? Going on a date?

Yes, going out to dinner with my boyfriend.

That's nice. What about you, Ms. Nomoto?

What?

As for me, I'm not sure.

Well, it's feeling more and more like "Christmas again?" now, hasn't it?

I want to be at home as much as possible because it's crowded everywhere.

The lunch was tasty.

Thank you so much for the meal.

But, it was so cute so I wasn't sure if I should eat it.

What is it?

There's someone I've been meaning to ask out...

But I still haven't asked them out.

What? That's so cute.

It'd be better if you asked them out sooner!

You have a point!

But, I don't think I'll ever recover if they turned me down.

That's right.

But what if they're no longer available?

Oh, this won't go well!

Come on.

She's so cute.

You have a point.

What?

No, it's nothing.

It's mama.

Hello? What is it? I'm outside right now.

Yuki? Would you like me to send you a Harako Meshi set?

Harako Meshi - A rice bowl topped with salmons and salmon roes

Harako Meshi?

I'd like some if you're offering.

I'll send you the popular one.

Thank you.

And also, what are you doing at the end of this year?

Are you coming home?

A little bit too soon to be talking about that?

You guys are so quick to jump on that.

Too quick?

We have to be ready if you're coming home after all.

Reservations are cheaper if we book them now.

What're you going to do?

Come on. Be honest about it already.

Sorry, I'm in the middle of grocery shopping.

Can we talk next time?

I'm having dinner with someone tomorrow so I'm preparing for it.

Oh, my!

At home on your day off?

What kind of a person?

She's a girl!

Her name is Kasuga. She lives in---

Oh, you're just going to meet a friend?

What...

Let me know soon once you've made up your mind for the holidays.

The Harako Meshi set will arrive in 2 days.

Alright. Bye.

Maybe I'll make some oden?

So your oden is oden with rice cake wrappers as the main ingredient.

Well...

This was a bit more than what I planned to buy...

Oh, right!

Should we add some egg pouches too?

Egg pouches?

We'll stuff some eggs in those tofu skins.

It's half-boiled and tastes great.

Are you a genius, Nomoto?

No, it's not something I came up on my own.

Well then, should we start the preparations?

Sure.

I think radishes soak up flavor differently when they are pre-boiled.

Here, do the honor.

Thank you so much.

Make sure you shut it close, or else the eggs will leak.

Okay.

This is cute. It's rolling around.

It's pretty. - Right?

We're making an incision?

That's right.

This way, the flavor of the food soaks in well.

Woah! It's looking good!

Let's dig in?

Sure. - Alright.

Thank you for this food.

The flavor has soaked in well!

How are the egg pouches?

It's so good.

I didn't know this kind of food existed.

You really like eggs, don't you, Kasuga?

What? How did you...

I mean, you were always happy with omelet rice, pudding

and boiled eggs.

Is that so?

Eat a lot, okay?

Without holding back.

Oden and hot sake go well together.

You really do like sake, don't you?

Sorry to drink in front of you who's not much of a drinker.

No worries. You drink it with relish.

I thought of something great.

You see, there's a drink called oden soup stock...

Yeah...

You do it like this.

And this...

...will taste so good!

It soaks in...

Can I try and drink that too?

Of course!

Here you go.

Thank you so much.

I see.

It does taste good.

Right?

Yes.

Goes well, doesn't it?

Yes.

It's been a while since I last cooked oden.

Sorry, this one too.

Will you wash this too? - Thank you.

It's going to get a lot colder

so we'll be able to cook more delicious food, right?

By the way,

will you be going home at the end of the year, Kasuga?

Well...

I got a call from my mother about it

so it made me think about what your plans will be too.

I'm not going home.

In fact, to be precise, I haven't been home

for about 10 years since I came out here which was a good decision.

Does that mean...

Is that so?

I think I'll skip the trip home this year too.

Really?

Just to be sure, you do celebrate Christmas and end of the year, right?

I do.

You do.

Kasuga, do you have any plans for Christmas?

I think you do! Of course, you do.

I don't.

What?

Is that so?

I wasn't particularly aware of it.

I'll be very busy at work.

Delivery of alcohol will increase.

I see.

Well...

If ever it'd be alright with you,

would you like to spend Christmas together?

Well...

I'd like to try cooking some Christmas dishes,

or make Christmas cake and roast some beef too.

If you don't have any plans for the year-end and New Year's holidays,

I wanted to make ozoni soup and oshiruko soup too.

No, it's not only about cooking stuff.

What's important for me is you getting to eat the food.

So, if only this won't bother you too much...

Thank you so much.

I'd be happy to.

What?

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm so glad!

Well, I just got too nervous

and wouldn't know what to do if you turned me down.

Is that so?

Then, first of all, it's a Christmas party!

Is there anything you'd like to eat?

For Christmas or even end of the year too.

I have quite a lot.

Well, let's both think of something?

Sure.
