Welcome.

Thank you for coming to Tokyo Department Store.

Our department store generally has an event each month.

What's popular are the seasonal festivities.

Thank you for shopping today.

Starting today, we have a special summer event opening on B1.

Please be sure to stop by.

Welcome.

We had to personally visit each of our vendors' hometowns...

...to convince them to sell their famous specialties here.

It took more than a year of negotiations to finally convince a few of them.

Nevertheless, we have to procure these vendors.

We can't afford to lose business to other department stores.

To survive in this recession...

fierce competition has unfolded in our industry.

Kashiwaba.

Yes?

Huh?

Go over there? Ok.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I'll help you.

What would you like?

I want this.

Hey! I was here before you!

No, no, no. I was here first!

What?!

I was here way before her!

You're so selfish!

What's going on?

I'm very sorry!

We'll help you soon! Please wait one moment!

Even after 3 months, I still can't handle customers very well.

You made me wait too long, so I get extra.

Ok, in it goes. Ok, Thank you!

Especially, these aggressive, pushy old ladies.

Good job.

It was pretty crowded, huh?

Yeah, thank goodness.

Wanna get a drink?

Uh... Not today...

I stayed up all night doing preparations, so I didn't get much sleep.

Oh?

Oh, good job.

Good job.

She seems like a really hard worker.

She's new, and she's so attractive!

I dated Makoto for 6 months in my 3rd year of college.

I thought things were going well. But then, she suddenly dumped me.

Do you remember what your last words to me were?

Huh?

It made me lose all hope.

I wonder what I said to her?

What made her lose hope?

Sorry. Excuse me.

I'm home.

My dinner...

And what else...?

Should I make fried rice?

Yes, hello?

Oh, Mom?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Huh?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But...

I said I'm doing fine!

Listen, I'm 22. I don't want to feed off of you anymore!

I want to live and work on my own! I want to be independent!

I don't want to be a housewife like you, mom. Dad bosses you around!

You listening, Yumie?!

I'm so stressed out when you're not around!

Normally...!

I'm home.

Welcome home.

When did you get back?

In the evening.

How's grandma feeling?

She can do a few things on her own now.

You come home so late!

Come home during the day!

I have to close shop when I go on deliveries.

I'm sorry.

In the first place, I said half a week is ok, but....

They've been going at it.

We know he's lost without mom.

How annoying.

You don't care what happens to me?

I'm sorry.

Your mom can't help it if she's sick.

But, your dad's healthy, right?

You don't have to take care of her.

Listen... When you left that house, you became my wife.

Tell them not to expect anything from us!

All you think of is yourself.

Did you just say something?

No, not really.

Yes, you did!

I said exactly what you heard.

I'll go fix some dinner.

Face your husband! Hey!

Dad, that's enough.

Hey!

Mom just got back, so she's tired.

Hey!

Please. I'm tired from an all-nighter.

You're annoying.

Really annoying.

episode 02 - Why she dumped me. translation by junkboy77 (^_^) DO NOT SELL OR AUCTION!!

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Welcome. Which floor would you like?

5th floor, please.

5th floor, certainly.

Excuse me, where are gifts sold?

There's a jeans shop on the right.

If you go straight down that path...

I'm sorry. When I get off, there's a jeans shop on the right...?

May I show you the way?

Can I push you?

Sorry, thank you very much.

I'm very sorry.

Good morning.

'Morning.

I have a new plan. Would you like to see it?

You're so enthusiastic.

What kind of plan?

What shall I eat?

Just take a tray, and grab what you want.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks for earlier.

Huh?

Oh!

Personnel must always remain in the elevators.

I see.

Please give me a large.

Thank you.

You don't work for our company. Are you with a vendor?

Ah, I'm from an ad agency.

Really? Like the media?

Wow!

Not really...

Put your pre-paid card in here.

Oh!

You don't get fat eating all that?

No, not at all.

I'm jealous.

It's so cheap and delicious. I think I'll start having lunch here.

Hey, what's your number?

Oh.

It's so crowded.

Hey, there's Hayakawa-san.

Huh?

Let's eat over there.

No, I'll...

Don't be so shy!

Chitose-san, Chitose-san...

Hey, can we sit here?

Sure.

Do you know her?

Yeah, I just met her today.

Right?

Yeah.

Let me introduce you. She's with an ad agency...

Saeki Makoto-san, right?

How did you know?

You're in charge of food ads, right? We were introduced the other day.

Then you know her too, Touji?

Yeah.

Aren't you being risky?

Why?

Calling him "Touji" at work. (note: Calling someone by their first name indicates a close relationship.)

I know why you call him that, but...

She said they're going to a hot spring this summer.

Together?

We still haven't decided. I didn't get my vacation yet.

But, I already booked it.

Sorry, I'll remember to ask my supervisor.

Don't forget.

I'm done.

I'm leaving first, ok?

Call me, ok?

Bye.

Saeki-san is cute, but you have Hayakawa-san already.

Don't do it.

What are you saying?

I have to tell you these things, or else...

But, nothing's...

What're you talking about?

Oh, nothing. Just talking to ourselves.

Right?

Yeah.

Sorry, just got back from the "purple."

Ok, welcome back.

Excuse me...

Yes?

Oh, it's you.

Um... You told me you worked here.

Yeah.

Those dumplings look good. Maybe I'll buy some for lunch.

Really?

Yes, please.

Thank you very much.

What nerve, huh?

I only told her I worked here.

And she came right over.

Yeah, studs have a hard life, huh?

That's not what I meant.

She came right over.

(Kawai, Miyanodai Cram School)

Excuse me. Excuse me!

Yes

I'm coming.

What is it?

Wanna go to a goukon with us? (goukon is a party of singles)

You're not much older than us.

I want to get to know you better.

I'm not really into goukons.

Just think about it.

Did you see her face?

"I'm not into goukons." She was serious!

That was funny.

Who'd ask her out? She's so boring.

Excuse me!

I can't do it.

I'm not good at those kind of things.

It's day 3 of the food festival.

(Hey, did you get your vacation? Nao.)

Excuse me. Where's the Chief?

Oh, the Chief's on the food floor.

I see. Thank you. Please excuse me.

I guess I'll ask later.

Yes, food department.

Huh?

I'm terribly sorry!

The 20 we had are sold out. We'll have more tomorrow.

Please excuse me.

Apologize.

I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

I told you we're limited to 20 pieces a day.

Why does it say 50 here?

We're very sorry.

It's like we're lying to the customers.

You're absolutely correct.

Really...! What an amateurish mistake!

Is your company doing their job?

I'm sorry.

Sending us someone so young... Are you really serious about our ads?

I am serious! I'm trying my best.

Then what's this?

That was done by the previous person. She has nothing to do with it.

I was also the one who checked the final draft.

I'm responsible.

Fujieda-kun.

It's not you to miss something so basic.

Yes.

Write up a public apology.

Make it clear this wasn't our fault!

I understand.

And, tomorrow...!

What are you going to do about it?

Yes, I'll go plead with the makers.

I'll ask them to make an extra 30 pieces somehow.

Can you do it?

Um... They already told us that's too much.

Tell me it'll be alright!

I'm sorry.

It's always one problem after another... Damn!

That's why I didn't want to take this job!

The printing error was probably our agency's fault. I'll go check with them.

That's not it.

Huh?

We were probably sabotaged.

What a problem.

What?

You were in charge of these posters, right?

Who knows?

Takemura only promised us 20 pieces, but it says 50 on the posters.

What happened? Give me an explanation.

Try asking Fujieda-san.

Fujieda-san said it was his own mistake.

Oh?

So, he feels a little guilty.

Then...

He's the source of your problem.

I don't know what happened between you and Fujieda-san, but...

You shouldn't let private affairs interfere with work.

You still don't know anything about men and women, do you?

Can you somehow send us 50 pieces by tomorrow?

It's in our ads. They're already posted everywhere.

I beg you.

No, no, no. Don't say that!

I'm very sorry.

It said 50. I was looking forward to it.

Excuse me. Are there anymore Kintoto?

We're sold out today.

Really?

Yes.

How about tomorrow?

Yes, we'll have them, but...

This brings back memories. I lived in Sendai when I was a child.

My parents bought Kintoto for me every birthday.

Those were the best times of my life.

I hope I get to enjoy them one more time.

Really? I'm sorry.

I'll try again tomorrow.

You should try to come in early.

Ok.

I'll be waiting tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Saitou!

Yes

Can you go to Sendai now?

Sendai?

Go ask Takemura if he can make us 30 by tomorrow.

Beg him to make more. You're the one in charge of confectionaries.

Huh? But...

Stop complaining! Don't come back until they're done!

But, today...

If that's the case, may I go?

Huh?

Please.

Kashiwaba-kun, I'm counting on you!

Ok!

Sorry for always imposing.

I'm glad we finished on time.

You've been gone lately, huh? I kinda miss you.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you.

Hey!

Yes, this is Kashiwaba Cleaning.

It's me.

I want to borrow the shop's car.

Sure. What's it for?

I have to go to Sendai. It's work related.

Huh?

I have to get back to Tokyo early, and the express trains won't be running yet.

Yeah.

So, I need to borrow the car.

I'm not sure what time. I'll call again when I'm free.

Yeah, ok. Talk to you later.

Hayakawa-san!

Oh, Chitose-san.

Did you hear? Kashiwaba went to Sendai.

Huh? Sendai?

There's some mistake about not having enough Kintoto.

I see.

Um...

Since Kashiwaba isn't here... How about you and me go have yakitori and drinks. (yakitori is grilled chicken)

(Sendai Tanabata Festival)

Is this it?

Sorry. Our orders are already full for tomorrow too.

- Please do whatever you can for us. - Excuse me.

We really need 50.

Please.

Excuse me.

What do you want?

I'm Kashiwaba from Tokyo Dept Store's food department.

I'm here to request a favor from you today.

We agreed to make 20 for you.

It takes a lot of effort to make these. That's our limit.

We mistakenly publicized that we'd have 50 pieces.

There are many customers who are really looking forward to them.

I know we're asking a lot from you, but...

Please do what you can for us.

Please.

I can't do a sloppy job!

Please do what you can.

Please!

No matter what you say...

We finally convinced him.

Yeah, I'm glad.

Oh, yeah. I'll bring back the Kintoto tomorrow.

Shouldn't you go back to Tokyo tonight?

Go back? But, the express doesn't run this late.

Oh, really?

Ah!

Huh?

Let's have some ramen. I'm so hungry.

Mister, ramen for two.

Ok!

Over there.

What are you doing?

Hurry.

We're really eating?

Yeah

It's the food department's treat, ok?

Huh?

Thanks for waiting.

That's fast!

Here you go.

Here.

Thanks.

Pepper...

Oh, you don't need any.

Yeah.

Thanks for the food.

Thank you.

You really didn't have to come all this way.

I could of handled it myself.

It's my job as a food staff member.

No, this was our agency's mistake.

The person I replaced made the mistake.

Huh?

That's why I didn't feel responsible.

But, no matter what...

I wanted to show them I'm qualified for this job.

Without that, they won't trust me because I'm young and have little experience.

The first step is to earn the trust of my coworkers.

Without trust, you can't pursue your ambitions.

You're really working hard.

Huh?

It's like you're going right after your dreams.

I took this job because it's the kind of work I want to do.

Next step... I'll give it my best, so that my work gets noticed.

You two get along really well.

Mister, are your eyes bad?

We had a fight and broke up.

You look good together.

What a waste, young man.

I sincerely apologize, however, we have no vacancies tonight.

Huh?

Are there any other hotels around here?

Because of the seasonal Tanabata festival, every place is fully booked now.

I see.

I take back what I said earlier.

I'm glad you came.

If you didn't, I'd have to camp outside.

Yeah.

Want the air-conditioning on?

Oh, I'm fine. The breeze feels nice.

We can see the stars.

That looks like Orihime. [note: The lover-stars Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair) meet during the time of the Tanabata Festival (July 7th)]

Yeah.

Did you know?

They say this light is extremely old.

Yeah.

It's amazing, isn't it?

In the time it takes for this light to reach us...

We could have lived our lives many times over.

Hey.

Huh?

Don't seduce me, ok?

Do you feel like it?

Don't be stupid.

Just joking...

You're not interested in the woman you broke up with, are you?

Yes?

It's me.

Chitose-san told me about your difficult situation.

Did it go ok?

Yeah, but I'm still in Sendai.

I'm bringing the Kintoto back to Tokyo tomorrow.

That's great.

Yeah.

Listen...

Huh?

Um... I'm sorry. I haven't asked my supervisor about the vacation yet.

That's not what I meant.

I'll wait till you get back.

I just have something I want to ask you.

Ok, I'll call you when I get back to Tokyo.

Sorry, ok?

Good night.

Good night.

Your girlfriend?

Yeah.

She's cute. You found a nice girl.

Thanks.

Can I turn on the radio?

Yeah, sure.

What do I push?

Do you remember that walk you had with your sempai (older classmate)?

Remember how your heart pounded?

This song brings back memories, huh?

It's cold!

You made it turn brown!

Here you go.

It's plain.

Really?

Hey.

What?

What did I say when we broke up?

What made you lose hope?

You don't remember?

No.

It's been bothering me.

"What's more important? Me or your work?"

That's what you asked me.

At the time I was desperately trying to get involved in advertising.

Oh...

Was that all I said?

Was that all?

I don't really care anymore, but...

You haven't changed one bit.

Huh?

I'm so glad we broke up.

At the time...

You hadn't found your calling in life yet.

You were jealous of me, weren't you?

That's why you asked me that stupid question.

That's not something a man usually asks a woman.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm sleeping outside.

Huh?

I remember now.

You were always late for our dates. I always had to wait.

You always had it your way.

I'm glad we broke up, too.

Really? Then we both made the right choice!

Good night.

How long are you going to sleep there?

Hey!

We have to go get the Kintoto.

Oh crap.

Excuse me. How much longer...?

We have to get going soon or else we won't make it.

It's your fault this happened, right?

The extra pieces require extra time.

I'm sorry.

Hey, how many kilometers till Tokyo?

Another 70 km. I think we'll just barely make it.

I'll drive this time.

Huh? Ok, thanks.

I wonder if she has a license.

When did you get a license?

After I got this job. I thought it'd come in handy.

So, you're still new at this?

I haven't driven since I got my license.

Because I don't have car.

Hey, wait.

Wait! Hold on! Hold on!

What?! What?!

I think I should drive.

I said I can do it! We have to get back on time.

Just hold on. Hold on.

It should be in here...

Wait a sec.

Kashiwaba's not here yet?

He should be heading this way.

Time for the morning pep talk.

Ok.

We're not moving at all.

We're almost there, too.

I'm getting off.

Huh? Why?

I'm gonna run.

Huh?

Bye.

Touji!

Huh?

I'm counting on you!

Yeah.

Don't trip!

Good morning everyone.

We'll be open shortly. Please wait one moment.

Go check on him!

Excuse me, sorry!

Good morning.

Welcome to Tokyo Department Store. We are now open.

Welcome.

Sorry I'm late!

Kashiwaba?

The extra 30 are all in there. 50 altogether.

Set them up!

Ok.

Welcome in!

Welcome. Please line up over here.

Welcome.

I was dying to eat one, so I lined up early.

Thank you very much.

Will I be able to buy one?

Line up while it's still early.

Each customer is only allowed to buy 2 pieces, so...

There will be enough for you.

That's great. Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm so glad you made it on time.

Yeah, thanks.

You saved my reputation.

Thank you.

We both scored big this time.

It could be the first step to success.

I'm not really worried about that.

But, I'm really glad we were able to deliver 50 pieces.

A lot of customers were happy.

I see.

Hey.

What is it?

I'll be honest with you.

I don't want to associate with you.

I don't want my girlfriend to get the wrong idea.

You really love her, don't you?

Yeah.

Oh, Hayakawa-san.

Is Touji back?

He's taking a break.

Really?

So, let's pretend we don't know each other.

I understand.

I won't talk to you anymore unless it's necessary.

Don't worry.

Touji.

Yeah.

What were you talking about?

Saeki-san was in Sendai last night. She's in charge of the ads.

Were you with her the whole time?

No, I met her there by coincidence.

I see.

Maybe I'll get a drink.

What shall I get?

Sorry, the air conditioner's not working.

It's ok.

Good evening.

The dumplings were very delicious.

Really?

I'll come buy more sometime.

What's this? You went to see him, Hiroe-san?

You have a lot of courage.

Is that so?

I was invited to a goukon by some of our students.

Oh, really?

But, I turned them down. There's someone I'm interested in.

You're interested in someone?

Yes.

But, he hasn't noticed me yet.

Huh?

Huh?!

I wanna go here. Outdoor baths are nice, huh?

Touji?

Oh, sorry.

We should get going. You're really tired.

It's ok, I'm fine.

Which one?

Hey.

Huh?

Let me see your phone.

Ok.

Here.

This strap is cute.

How long have you had it?

How long, huh?

You don't remember?

No.

Outdoor baths, huh?

Let's pretend we don't know each other.

Welcome.

Thank you for waiting. Welcome.

Going up.

Try some Toyoken dumplings!

Thank you.

Welcome! Try some Toyoken dumplings!
