Well then, would you like to inquire about viewings here and here?

That's a good idea.

Nomoto?

This is for the next time we're heading to the realtor's office again...

Should we decide whether or not to tell the realtor that we're dating?

What happened today really called for it and we haven't talked about it yet.

Is there something you want to do about it?

If possible, I thought it would be better if we could be honest with them

so they could help us find a place.

I'm a little bit hesitant about us pretending to be friends so...

I don't know what's the right thing to do.

You and I...

We aren't really friends though, are we?

You are right.

What do you think?

I...

I'm not sure.

I'm a little worried too.

Is that so?

By worrying, do you mean that you don't know what the other party will think

once we tell them the truth about us dating?

I think so.

I see your point.

In the first place, isn't it ridiculous

that we feel the need to hide it or even worry about it?

You and I are dating, and are about to live under the same roof...

Isn't that something to be happy about?

You're right.

You are very right about it.

Ms. Yako, good evening. There's something I need help with.

What?

A takoyaki cooker?

Takoyaki is a ball-shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special molded pan

Ms. Yuki, why don't we have a takoyaki party with everyone next time?

A takoyaki party?

I wanted to fry some takoyaki, so I bought it on impulse.

Is that so? I had just opened the message so I didn't expect it.

I see. Good timing then.

Truly.

I was told looking for a new place has its problems.

That's what my same-sex couple friends have told me.

I knew it.

I see. I guess that's how it is.

Also, in the past,

a friend of mine said she found a house through an LGBT-friendly real estate agency.

What? Wait.

Such an agency exists?

Yeah. The parties involved will be available for consultation.

I forgot the location.

If you'd like, I can ask her about it.

Yes, please! I'd love to know.

That would be a big help!

No problem.

We have to help each other in these times.

Thank you!

But, you know, is it even any of their business if you want to live together with your same-sex partner?

I can't help but feel angry at a society that makes me feel so anxious

that I have to devote so much effort on things such as this!

T-that's right.

I'll ask my friend about it for the meantime.

Please do.

Okay. - Yes.

I'll ask him to go ahead.

Thanks for your hardwork.

So, this is what came around this time...

Once everyone is able to write in it, can you pass it to the sales department?

Understood.

I leave it with you. - Sure.

Oh? What is this about?

Ms. Makino is retiring, thus this colored paper.

What? Ms. Makino is resigning?

It seems that her partner is going to Kansai due to his work.

Oh, is that so?

MS. MAKINO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!

There's been a rush of marriage around me lately.

There's a wedding next weekend too.

The expenses are tight.

It's tough once they're all at the same time.

True.

Here, let me see.

I guess, marriage really is a nice thing then.

Doesn't it somehow feel like marriage is the goal?

Like a breath of air.

Is it really such a good thing?

Does it give you a sense of security?

I wonder.

It's making me think that I don't really need to get married.

I'll start writing on this then, okay?

Sure, go ahead.

Alright.

Ms. Kasuga, you've worked hard.

You too.

We have quite a lot here today.

Maybe just leave it all over there for now?

Got it.

Ms. Kasuga. You know what? I'm getting a divorce.

What? Have you talked about it?

Yes, we have.

I don't think it will go that smoothly though.

But, how do I say this? It's opened up something for me.

Opened?

Like it's opened a door, opened a path and all that.

Anyway, it's already opened and I can't take it back at this point, you know?

And is that... a good thing?

It's not okay at all.

My husband's parents have gotten the message.

But, now that we're here, I'm ready for it.

Is that so?

Ms. Kasuga, I'm not sure when it's going to be,

but I will be starting my second life, my third life even!

You're amazing, Ms. Fujita.

You have my support.

Thank you.

Here.

Doesn't it somehow feel like marriage is the goal?

It's making me think that I don't really need to get married.

Is it really such a good thing?

Ms. Nomoto. - Yes?

Can I walk home with you just halfway through?

Sure.

I see. Room hunting.

Since you'll be living together, it’ll have its tough moments too.

That's right.

There are hardships that I am totally unaware of.

Of course, there are.

What?

I mean...

I had an epiphany after we talked about marriage earlier.

When I said I don't have to get married,

or that maybe marriage is the goal,

I felt that I was able to say that because I was in a position who can get married.

Listen...

I ran my mouth like that without considering your feelings.

I'm so sorry. - No, it's fine.

Still, you're right.

Thank you for talking to me about it.

To tell you the truth, it made me feel alone.

I am truly sorry!

No, that's not it.

It's just...

There are people who are in a position to get married and those who can't and

it's instances like this that makes people like you think, "Oh, right. I can get married,

whereas Nomoto can't" and all those kind of thoughts.

Yes.

I felt like I couldn't be in the same position as you

and talk about wanting to get married or not.

That's what made me feel a bit alone.

Also, lately I've had my hands full with the room hunting.

That also made me feel like this.

It's kind of infuriating, isn't it?

What?

Why can't Japan legalize same-sex marriage?

It's ridiculous, right?

That's right.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

But, I found it a little surprising that you care about marriage and such.

I thought you wouldn't mind it.

Well...

I thought I was that kind of person myself.

Surprisingly, I took it seriously after all.

The pressures of society?

That's right.

Like if you don't get married in your 20's, then it's over for you.

Sounds stupid.

I see.

Also, my older sister had a baby last year.

Next thing I knew, there was pressure from my parents saying,

"It's your turn now" and all that.

I think that's what really prompted me to get into these dating apps.

So, that's why...

Yes.

But, I know where you're coming from.

I am also under a lot of pressure from my parents.

Really?

"Met some nice guy?"

When I said I was going out with someone for a bit,

they'd ask, "how are they as a person?"

I mean, we do want to put our parent's worries to rest.

I totally relate.

As for me, right now,

I'm on a different path from what my parents expected me to be.

I haven't told them either that I'm dating a woman.

However...

That kind of pressure comes from all sorts of places.

That's right.

Like what the heck?

There's no right or wrong way to live your life.

So why...

Why do we have to live with this kind of pressure that's close to crushing us?

That's right.

I enjoyed the meal.

I am so full.

I'll clean up.

No, let's do it together.

Okay.

Excuse me.

It's from Ms. Yako.

Hey, she sent me the realtor's info.

That's a huge help.

Right? Let's check it together.

Sure.

It's this one.

Operated by the parties involved, with consideration for privacy.

It's already making me feel safe.

You're right.

Here.

It says, "I feel safe to be honest with them."

This is good.

You're right.

Hey, Kasuga. The other day,

you said you didn't understand why we pretended to be friends, right?

Yes.

I thought, that was very honest and so true of you.

If you hadn't said so,

I would have felt uncomfortable or pressured to continue

with the transaction we were doing.

That's why, thank you for telling me.

Hey...

Today, someone I see occasionally at work

told me she might be going through with a divorce.

This person seemed really positive about her situation.

Although, I think that what she's going through must be very difficult in reality.

Divorce? I'm sure it will be hard.

Yes.

Our situation is completely different from hers, but...

It is very difficult to live a life that values one's honest feelings.

That's what I think too.

That's why, it is reassuring to have someone like Ms. Yako to consult with.

Yes. Something to be grateful for.

While we're at it, let's make an inquiry to this real estate agent right away, shall we?

Let's do that.

Thank you Nick for the raws and Oshiroenmahi for the support
