Original subtitles

Yes, we have no problem with that.

Thank you very much for your coordination.

Was he just teasing me that day?

Would you tick off this list with me?

I'm the same as you.

Alright, goodbye.

- Iwamoto-san, do you have a moment? - Yes.

It's about what I spoke of...

Did he get carried away in the moment?

"Takoyaki party, cakes..."

Eating a parfait with you sounds like fun.

Or did he say all that as a joke?

- Hey! Quit messing around with my laptop! - Okay, that's checked off.

Spend a birthday with a lover.

It's not like I'm his boyfriend.

He never said we're dating or that he likes me.

Do you believe me now?

I don't understand him at all!

I’d have no problem taking you to bed.

What am I even thinking?!

10 things I want to do before I turn 40

Raw + captions credit: p245

I mean...

Come to think of it, just what kind of guy is Keishi again?

Tojo-san.

I'll be leaving first.

Good work today.

Likewise.

Just as expected, he's his usual self...

He greets me politely like always.

See you.

Oh? Keishi went home already?

Yes. He mentioned he was meeting someone.

Say whaaaat?!

Meeting ladies again?!

Well, I'm not sure about that.

Is something wrong?

No.

- Keishi! - Yo!

- Sorry for waiting! - Heya!

- Long time no see! - No, it's not.

Didn't we meet the other day?

- Shall we? - This is gonna be fun!

What do you want for dinner? Have you decided yet?

- We have! - Obviously!

- Pasta! - Pasta!

Keishi is...

Of course...

There's no way a guy who can have his pick would date an old man like me.

Right, Suzuko?

But you're curious about him, don't you?

That sums up the current progress.

Let's be real, this campaign is kind of a flop, isn't it?

Keishi is competent at work.

What matters most to the client is...

He's always composed and speaks his mind.

Udagawa, that might be outdated.

- Huh? - This is the most updated one.

Thanks! You're a lifesaver!

He's naturally considerate, so he doesn't get on anyone's bad side.

This was the one you made before, right?

Yeah.

It looks really good.

Surprisingly, he has a clumsy side too.

His hands are beautiful.

When he smiles, he has this charming aspect to him.

He's also tall,

and has a great posture...

He's good-looking, too.

- Oh, Keishi-kun! - Hello!

- You know, the other day... - Yes?

We went to Hakata!

- Oh? Was it for a business trip? - Yes!

- Yes, that's right! - That must have been tiring.

- Do you want this? - May I?

- Help yourself! - Gladly!

Give me, please!

So it's only natural he's popular...

Which is why there's zero chance he'd date someone like me.

Tojo-san.

I'm heading home first.

Good job today.

You as well.

See you tomorrow.

It’s been a week since then and nothing has changed.

Keishi does his job like usual and heads home like it’s just another day.

10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40

Have a takoyaki party

Sample all department store cakes

Change my fashion style

Visit Sea Paradise

Have a parfait at Senbikiya

In any case, it feels like it never happened.

Tojo-san, shall we go to Bic Cam?

T/N: Bic Camera is a major Japanese electronics retail chain. It's known for having a huge variety of products such electronics, home appliances and daily necessities.

Bic Cam?

Bic Camera, the one across the station.

Let’s get a takoyaki pan.

Oh, do you already own one by any chance?

No, I don't...

But why are we buying one?

Because takoyaki party was at the top of the list.

I take back my words!

Which one should we go for?

Hang on...

I did a bit of research.

Apparently, the smaller ones distribute heat more evenly.

But if you want to make delicious takoyaki, gas-type is the way to go.

Seriously, hold on a second!

You have a list of things you should achieve before turning 40.

But since you don't have a partner, it's basically on hold.

Am I wrong?

Wait, what you're really saying is

you want to do the things on the list with me?

Well, why not? You don't need to overthink it.

Look! This is the gas-type one.

Whooaa! Still, that's ridiculous.

Getting this when I'm only going to use it once?

It's the opposite, actually.

If you buy it, you can have a party whenever you want, as many times as you want.

Huh?

Well...

I just realized that the idea had never crossed my mind before.

I see.

- What should we do? - Hm?

About this.

Well, if I have to choose, I guess this one?

Excuse me!

- That was fast. - Yes, how can I help?

We would like to buy this takoyaki pan.

- Thank you for purchasing. - No, wait.

What?

You're not going to buy it?

- We'll get this one. - Thank you very much.

Would you like to take it home today or have it delivered?

- We'll take it now. - We'll take it now.

I see. Thank you very much.

I ended up getting swayed into buying it.

I'll carry it for you.

No, that's fine.

The station is just around the corner.

I'm your subordinate.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Keishi is nice to everyone.

He's just walking me to the station, right?

Huh?!

He doesn't live in the same neighborhood as me, right?

Which way?

Well, my place is this way.

Okay.

Is he going to carry it all the way to my place?

This way, right?

Yes.

Where's the supermarket?

It's just a bit further ahead.

Got it.

Eh?! Don't tell me...

So this is where you live?

- Are we having the party today? - Wait, you're only realizing that now?

Let's get inside already, the octopus is getting warm.

Young people are scary!

- I'm sorry for intruding. - I'm going to clean up a bit.

- Give me five minutes. - It's fine, I don't really mind a mess.

No can do! Give me five minutes.

Come on! I told you to give me five minutes.

Adorable decor.

Oh no, it's not what you think. I got these from my nephew!

Oh, really?

That's cute.

- Suzuko! - Huh? I'm sorry!

What did you just say?

Nothing...

You actually named this plushie?

How cute!

Now then, shall we get started?

Tojo-san, I'll start prepping now.

O-okay.

You're pretty good at this.

I guess you could say that.

You don't cook for yourself?

No, I do.

That's unexpected but kinda nice.

Well, I just make easy stuff though.

What about you?

Me? I go all in when cooking.

I grew up with strong-willed twin older sisters who always said guys who can’t do housework are trash.

Would you mind giving me a small plate for the green onions?

I'll take this one. Thank you.

Twin sisters?

Yes.

They're twins but they don't look alike at all.

Their personalities are polar opposites too.

The only thing they share is how assertive they both are.

They dragged me out for advice the other day.

Even though I was dead tired.

Could it be the ladies you met on your way home from work the other day?

Yes. How did you know?

Well, it was just by chance...

I happened to see you with them.

Is that so?

You could've at least said hi!

I see.

You have twin older sisters.

So, they were your sisters...

I don't fool around with women.

I didn't mean that!

We have more stuff to cut, don't we?

Well...

Alright, let me handle this one.

Do you need to cut the pickled red ginger?

T/N: Pickled red ginger usually comes pre-cut in packets of stripes or cube-like shapes, so it depends on theirs.

You don't?

- Ready, and pull! - Ready, and pull!

It even has a strap.

And here... we have the instructions.

Forget about that.

Take a look at this again!

- It's pretty well-made. - Yeah, looks great.

Ta-dah!

- Adorable! - It comes with this and that too!

This too.

These go perfectly with the pan!

I'm all excited now.

Actually, me too.

Maybe we should add more batter.

- Let's try adding more, shall we? - But... yeah, maybe.

- I need some tissues! - Where are they?

Behind you.

Should I turn off the fire?

Oh!

You still have this?

Yeah, I guess I do.

I thought you'd have thrown it away long ago.

I wouldn't since it was a gift.

Never mind that, I still need some tissues!

Sorry, here.

Besides, I quite like it.

That right?

I'm surprised you still remember it.

I wouldn't forget.

Since it was a prize I won.

Resembles you.

Come on, hurry. Let's flip them.

- Thank you. - Time to flip.

Wait, but...

H-Hold on just a moment. We just put the batter in.

Let's give it some more time.

We forgot the octopus (tako)!

- Just what kind of (tako) yaki is this? - It's no takoyaki without the octopus.

Voila, it’s takoyaki.

You really take a picture of every single thing.

That looks just about right.

Okay, got it.

I'm scared you'll get sauce on it.

Sorry.

It's fine, no apologies necessary.

You don't need to take pictures of me.

- Shall we eat now? - Yes!

I'll dig in now!

Whoa, looks sizzling.

Is it hot?

Oh, but...

It's delicious.

It's creamy on the inside.

Yum!

Takoyaki fresh out of the pan taste crazy good.

Yes, indeed.

They're completely hot.

You know, you're really great at being respectful.

That side of you is very impressive.

Oh, really?

Yeah, even earlier.

When you said, "I'll dig in now."

Yay, I got complimented.

Even at the office...

You'd come up to me and say hello even if our desks are far apart.

That makes me very happy.

Tojo-san, when was the last time you had a partner?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

What's with the sudden question?

I was just wondering how long you've been single.

Roughly ten years?

Really?

So since before I joined the company.

Yes!

But it brings me no joy to say it.

Seriously?

Were you also serious about what you said the other day?

I don't know which part you mean.

But I meant every word.

I noticed you were gay quite some time ago.

You know, there are times when women wear tops that are kind of loose around the chest, right?

I was wondering if the dates from 15th to 17th would work for the client.

I think it's perfectly fine.

When they do, you wouldn't even sneak a peek.

I immediately realized you didn't swing that way.

Don't worry.

I'm the only one who notices stuff like that.

I see.

You see, I'm not really ashamed of my sexuality.

I just don't want others to use it to treat me differently.

The same goes for you, right?

I see now.

It’s because he noticed about my sexuality that he did that...

Thanks for being so considerate of me.

He was prying too much into your personal life.

There may have been other times I overlooked.

You had sauce on your lips.

What shall we cross off next?

Keishi is assertive as well as my subordinate.

On top of it, I have no idea what's going through his head.

Sea Paradise.

Hakkeijima Sea Paradise.

Sounds like a plan.

How should I face him when Monday comes?

I'm looking forward to our next Saturday.

I got swept in the moment, and ended up agreeing to our next meeting.

Sea Paradise...

It's like a date.

It's been a long time since you've been this nervous about something.

I'm happy for you, Suzume-chan.
