1
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:30,250
Are you okay?

2
00:01:08,291 --> 00:01:10,666
Were you still asleep, Doctor?

3
00:01:10,750 --> 00:01:12,958
Fuki. Good morning.

4
00:01:13,041 --> 00:01:16,208
Thanks for coming with me
to the vet the other day.

5
00:01:16,291 --> 00:01:19,375
No problem. How's the cat doing?

6
00:01:19,458 --> 00:01:23,458
Oh, that one's fine. But this time…

7
00:01:23,541 --> 00:01:26,291
This one's in heat.

8
00:01:28,958 --> 00:01:32,750
I never imagined getting seduced
at this age, you know?

9
00:01:33,458 --> 00:01:34,916
That's true.

10
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,250
Still, plenty of men keep
their libido until the very end.

11
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:41,500
If anything…

12
00:01:41,583 --> 00:01:44,541
So, he's been chatting over tea

13
00:01:44,625 --> 00:01:47,666
for nearly an hour
this early in the morning?

14
00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:50,500
An old guy she met
on a dating app for seniors

15
00:01:50,583 --> 00:01:52,750
asked her to have sex.

16
00:01:52,833 --> 00:01:54,375
Seriously?

17
00:01:54,458 --> 00:01:58,166
Man, I guess even seniors
are like that these days.

18
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:02,375
Well, at least she kind of understands
what our clinic does now.

19
00:02:02,458 --> 00:02:03,416
True.

20
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,458
That old man the other day
just came in for a cavity.

21
00:02:06,958 --> 00:02:10,875
This place used to be a dental clinic,
so it's bound to happen.

22
00:02:10,958 --> 00:02:13,000
Yeah. But still…

23
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:17,750
Maybe they already know,
and just find an excuse to talk to him.

24
00:02:18,375 --> 00:02:19,208
Huh?

25
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:22,041
Even just cuddling up to each other

26
00:02:22,125 --> 00:02:26,791
can deepen intimacy
and help you feel safer.

27
00:02:32,958 --> 00:02:33,791
SHIMOTORI

28
00:02:33,875 --> 00:02:37,916
WE DID A FEATURE ON THIS PLACE.
I WANT TO CHECK IT OUT ON MY DAY OFF.

29
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,208
WHEN ARE YOU FREE?

30
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:49,041
The end of the line is here.

31
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:52,000
The end of the line is here.

32
00:02:53,166 --> 00:02:54,750
This way, please.

33
00:03:00,291 --> 00:03:04,208
Man, <i>oshikatsu </i>has really gone mainstream.

34
00:03:04,291 --> 00:03:06,875
A four-trillion-yen market
which is bigger than gaming.

35
00:03:06,958 --> 00:03:09,083
The global market
is worth 200 trillion yen.

36
00:03:09,166 --> 00:03:11,250
That's bigger than the national budget.

37
00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:13,750
I miss when they just called us "otaku."

38
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:15,958
Wait, you're an otaku?

39
00:03:16,041 --> 00:03:18,625
Let's start interviewing
those people over there.

40
00:03:18,708 --> 00:03:19,541
Got it.

41
00:03:21,291 --> 00:03:24,333
How do you usually hear
about events like this?

42
00:03:24,416 --> 00:03:27,875
Well, mostly through X and Instagram.

43
00:03:27,958 --> 00:03:29,916
I see. How did you all meet?

44
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,375
We actually met for the first time today.

45
00:03:32,458 --> 00:03:34,333
For the first time today?

46
00:03:34,416 --> 00:03:36,791
What kind of <i>oshikatsu </i>do you usually do?

47
00:03:36,875 --> 00:03:38,625
Well, we travel around…

48
00:03:38,708 --> 00:03:43,000
We take photos
with our acrylic stands and plushies.

49
00:03:43,083 --> 00:03:44,000
I see.

50
00:03:44,083 --> 00:03:46,625
Look at all that merch!

51
00:03:46,708 --> 00:03:48,583
Did you buy them with your allowance?

52
00:03:48,666 --> 00:03:50,958
Some of these
are rewards for studying hard.

53
00:03:51,041 --> 00:03:54,041
I see. Your <i>oshi </i>motivates you, huh?

54
00:03:54,125 --> 00:03:56,541
How can you study so hard?

55
00:03:57,166 --> 00:03:58,500
Because I love my <i>oshi</i>.

56
00:03:59,791 --> 00:04:04,208
If you don't tell someone
you love them, they won't know.

57
00:04:04,291 --> 00:04:05,583
Don't you think so?

58
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,041
You're right.

59
00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:18,708
So you blocked her on LINE.

60
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,750
Even if you get into
a deep relationship with someone,

61
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:29,291
it doesn't mean that tragedy
will repeat itself.

62
00:04:30,416 --> 00:04:34,333
The same applies
even if you have sex with them.

63
00:04:36,625 --> 00:04:41,125
It's disgusting,
imagining myself having sex.

64
00:04:43,125 --> 00:04:47,833
So instead of connecting with others,
you get invested in your patients?

65
00:04:55,541 --> 00:04:59,333
You need a close partner,

66
00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:02,500
an X, whom you can truly connect with.

67
00:05:03,250 --> 00:05:04,666
Don't run away.

68
00:05:05,833 --> 00:05:08,333
You should get
deeply involved with someone.

69
00:05:10,708 --> 00:05:13,041
Someone who isn't your patient.

70
00:05:20,208 --> 00:05:21,375
I'm heading out.

71
00:05:21,458 --> 00:05:23,083
Have a good night.

72
00:05:24,291 --> 00:05:25,833
Have a good night.

73
00:05:27,416 --> 00:05:28,791
Good work today.

74
00:05:30,083 --> 00:05:32,041
Where do you buy clothes like that?

75
00:05:32,125 --> 00:05:34,791
Thrift shops mostly.
Or I make them myself.

76
00:05:35,375 --> 00:05:37,791
-Wow, with a sewing machine?
-Pretty much.

77
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:40,166
-See you.
-Have a good night.

78
00:05:42,083 --> 00:05:43,625
You can head home too.

79
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:45,708
Right. Have a good night.

80
00:05:45,791 --> 00:05:47,791
Have a good night.

81
00:05:55,041 --> 00:05:56,958
{\an8}I MADE DINNER!

82
00:05:57,041 --> 00:05:59,291
{\an8}I'M STARVING!

83
00:06:00,125 --> 00:06:02,791
Hot pot in this heat?

84
00:06:13,208 --> 00:06:14,208
Are you okay?

85
00:06:16,083 --> 00:06:17,333
Not feeling well?

86
00:06:18,458 --> 00:06:21,666
I'm okay. Just stomach cramps.

87
00:06:28,291 --> 00:06:31,375
SORRY. GO AHEAD AND EAT WITHOUT ME

88
00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:42,375
It's lavender and chamomile herbal tea.

89
00:06:42,458 --> 00:06:45,583
-It helps with period cramps.
-Thank you.

90
00:06:46,458 --> 00:06:49,416
Mio Inoue, 17 years old.

91
00:06:50,208 --> 00:06:51,166
And her guardian?

92
00:06:51,750 --> 00:06:54,541
I contacted her mother
and got her consent.

93
00:06:54,625 --> 00:06:56,208
She's on her way now.

94
00:06:58,166 --> 00:07:00,333
Your first menstruation was last year?

95
00:07:02,208 --> 00:07:03,208
Yes.

96
00:07:04,083 --> 00:07:06,208
That's pretty late, isn't it?

97
00:07:06,958 --> 00:07:08,416
Don't worry.

98
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:12,416
Some people get their period
later than others.

99
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:16,333
Mine was late too.

100
00:07:16,416 --> 00:07:18,583
I got it during P.E. in high school.

101
00:07:18,666 --> 00:07:20,666
I was so embarrassed I totally panicked.

102
00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:23,083
Really?

103
00:07:24,375 --> 00:07:26,375
But your cycle is irregular,

104
00:07:26,458 --> 00:07:28,833
and the pain gets so bad
you can't even walk.

105
00:07:28,916 --> 00:07:30,541
That's a little concerning,

106
00:07:30,625 --> 00:07:33,875
so let's consult a gynecologist
and monitor your condition.

107
00:07:36,208 --> 00:07:40,375
If anything worries you,
please come talk to us anytime.

108
00:07:45,166 --> 00:07:47,416
Sex therapist?

109
00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:51,791
I specialize in sex and sexual concerns.

110
00:07:53,916 --> 00:07:54,833
Gross.

111
00:07:54,916 --> 00:07:55,958
Huh?

112
00:07:56,666 --> 00:07:58,666
Sex is gross. I'm not interested in it.

113
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:05,750
But if you're an expert
on that kind of stuff,

114
00:08:06,833 --> 00:08:09,625
can you tell me
how I can have sex with my <i>oshi</i>?

115
00:08:14,416 --> 00:08:19,583
SandX

116
00:08:21,125 --> 00:08:22,625
Fairy Café?

117
00:08:23,416 --> 00:08:25,333
It’s a kind of concept café.

118
00:08:25,416 --> 00:08:30,083
The staff probably dress up
like fairies and serve customers.

119
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:32,833
Not exactly the kind of place
you'd know, Professor.

120
00:08:32,916 --> 00:08:34,333
As if I'd ever go there.

121
00:08:34,416 --> 00:08:38,333
Apparently, she works there part-time
for fun and extra cash.

122
00:08:38,416 --> 00:08:39,958
For fun and extra cash?

123
00:08:40,458 --> 00:08:42,166
To get closer to her 2D <i>oshi</i>,

124
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:45,750
she's trying to become
like a 2D character, she says.

125
00:08:46,583 --> 00:08:50,375
So she prefers 2D characters
to real people, huh?

126
00:08:51,208 --> 00:08:54,375
I hear things like that a lot
from the students in my lab.

127
00:08:54,458 --> 00:08:56,833
"Relationships aren't worth the effort,"

128
00:08:56,916 --> 00:08:59,291
or "My <i>oshi </i>would never betray me."

129
00:09:00,166 --> 00:09:02,708
Nowadays, each year,
hundreds of people hold weddings

130
00:09:02,791 --> 00:09:06,666
and even fill out marriage certificates
with fictional characters.

131
00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:10,500
Man, I'll never understand that.

132
00:09:11,291 --> 00:09:15,500
You won't know if you understand it
until you experience it.

133
00:09:16,458 --> 00:09:17,291
Right?

134
00:09:22,416 --> 00:09:26,958
<i>Runerune firifiri moyamoya rin</i>.

135
00:09:27,625 --> 00:09:29,791
Here's your magic powder.

136
00:09:32,333 --> 00:09:34,250
Why do I have to do this trial job?

137
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:37,083
The manager said fairies
don't have genders.

138
00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:38,166
What?

139
00:09:40,791 --> 00:09:42,916
No. That's not the problem--

140
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,416
Shh!

141
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,291
Koropokkuru,
fairies don't raise their voices.

142
00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:50,458
Right.

143
00:09:52,625 --> 00:09:53,458
Koropo?

144
00:09:53,541 --> 00:09:56,125
Welcome, little lost one!

145
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,833
Here. Fairies love apples, right?

146
00:09:58,916 --> 00:10:00,958
I'll give you one. Do that thing again.

147
00:10:01,041 --> 00:10:02,875
-What? No way.
-That spell thing.

148
00:10:02,958 --> 00:10:05,041
-Enough. Go home!
-One more time.

149
00:10:05,125 --> 00:10:07,458
Would you like to come in?

150
00:10:12,833 --> 00:10:14,083
Hello.

151
00:10:18,916 --> 00:10:20,541
Give me a break.

152
00:10:20,625 --> 00:10:22,708
They're even making me mop floors!

153
00:10:22,791 --> 00:10:24,333
Sorry.

154
00:10:25,125 --> 00:10:28,416
But you can keep the pay.

155
00:10:28,958 --> 00:10:30,375
<i>Obviously!</i>

156
00:10:30,458 --> 00:10:32,875
<i>Anyway, this place feels kind of shady.</i>

157
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:34,708
How so?

158
00:10:34,791 --> 00:10:35,625
<i>Well…</i>

159
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:40,291
Some of the staff
get asked out by customers.

160
00:10:40,375 --> 00:10:41,208
Here.

161
00:10:41,291 --> 00:10:42,666
<i>Without the café knowing.</i>

162
00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:44,375
Okay, then…

163
00:10:44,916 --> 00:10:48,125
I'm off next Saturday,
so I'll see you there.

164
00:10:48,208 --> 00:10:49,166
Got it.

165
00:10:50,791 --> 00:10:53,000
-Good work, Koropokkuru.
-Good work.

166
00:10:53,083 --> 00:10:54,583
Thanks. Same to you.

167
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:59,750
<i>I asked the manager to let you</i>
<i>do the trial job for three days.</i>

168
00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:00,666
What?

169
00:11:00,750 --> 00:11:01,916
<i>Three days?!</i>

170
00:11:02,416 --> 00:11:06,250
We might learn something,
so hang in there a little longer.

171
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:08,750
Huh? Wait a minute…

172
00:11:09,958 --> 00:11:11,166
Wow.

173
00:11:14,666 --> 00:11:16,541
Good morning.

174
00:11:17,041 --> 00:11:20,166
-Hello.
-Hello.

175
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:21,250
Good morning.

176
00:11:21,333 --> 00:11:23,666
Good morning.

177
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:26,125
Mitarai, I watched the <i>oshikatsu </i>footage.

178
00:11:26,208 --> 00:11:27,791
-I liked it.
-Thank you.

179
00:11:27,875 --> 00:11:29,166
This is amazing.

180
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:30,875
According to a national survey,

181
00:11:30,958 --> 00:11:36,416
nearly 20% of students have had feelings
for a fictional character.

182
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,125
That really surprised me.

183
00:11:38,208 --> 00:11:40,208
How about this as our angle?

184
00:11:40,291 --> 00:11:42,208
"Real love for 2D characters."

185
00:11:43,375 --> 00:11:45,625
Right? People will eat that up.
Write it down.

186
00:11:45,708 --> 00:11:47,333
-"Real love"?
-Yeah.

187
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,875
Instead of framing it casually like that,

188
00:11:50,958 --> 00:11:53,875
what if we focused on
the darker side of <i>oshikatsu</i>,

189
00:11:53,958 --> 00:11:56,916
like people selling sex
or becoming victims of sexual abuse?

190
00:11:57,458 --> 00:11:59,416
That might be a bit too serious.

191
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:02,458
Even the news needs a more upbeat angle.

192
00:12:03,125 --> 00:12:04,000
Upbeat?

193
00:12:04,083 --> 00:12:06,208
Otherwise, we won't pull ratings.

194
00:12:06,958 --> 00:12:10,916
Besides, sex and stuff
doesn't suit your image, Ichinose.

195
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:12,500
Right?

196
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,250
Well…

197
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:20,500
How about Ms. Ichinose comments at the end

198
00:12:20,583 --> 00:12:23,291
to raise awareness about those issues?

199
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:24,708
I see.

200
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:31,708
Either way,

201
00:12:31,791 --> 00:12:35,083
if we're covering this,
we need more concrete examples.

202
00:12:35,583 --> 00:12:37,625
Not just outside speculation.

203
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:40,958
Concrete examples. Yeah. Okay.

204
00:12:41,041 --> 00:12:43,791
Anyway, I think "Real Love"
will resonate with people.

205
00:12:43,875 --> 00:12:46,416
-Let's go with that angle, Mitarai.
-Got it.

206
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:47,500
But keep it light.

207
00:12:48,083 --> 00:12:49,833
-Okay.
-I'm counting on you.

208
00:12:49,916 --> 00:12:50,875
Thank you.

209
00:12:50,958 --> 00:12:52,041
Next up, the <i>omurice</i>.

210
00:12:52,125 --> 00:12:54,875
CAN WE TALK FOR A BIT?

211
00:12:55,625 --> 00:13:00,250
You said you'd listen
to me anytime, Shimotori!

212
00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:06,166
Here.

213
00:13:09,666 --> 00:13:11,208
Thank you.

214
00:13:13,375 --> 00:13:16,250
I'll try pushing for it again.

215
00:13:20,083 --> 00:13:23,166
You gave me a chance
on your show, and yet…

216
00:13:23,250 --> 00:13:24,458
I'm sorry.

217
00:13:26,416 --> 00:13:27,750
Still, you're amazing,

218
00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:30,166
speaking your mind like that.

219
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,916
I just follow the script exactly.

220
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Well…

221
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:37,416
You're busy, after all.

222
00:13:40,125 --> 00:13:42,541
I use that excuse on myself too.

223
00:13:43,583 --> 00:13:46,958
That's why, when I see you,
I get a little discouraged.

224
00:13:51,666 --> 00:13:53,333
I'm the same way.

225
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:56,208
My juniors are always passing me by.

226
00:13:57,416 --> 00:13:58,666
Miku too.

227
00:14:00,625 --> 00:14:04,958
Well, she was pretty much
the big new star hire.

228
00:14:07,875 --> 00:14:13,166
But you know, reporters only
grow out of diapers after 30.

229
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:16,333
You're just getting started.

230
00:14:18,375 --> 00:14:19,416
See you.

231
00:14:31,833 --> 00:14:34,708
And… a heart!

232
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:36,000
MICCHI

233
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:37,375
All right.

234
00:14:37,458 --> 00:14:38,416
UNDINE

235
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:39,791
It turned out super cute!

236
00:14:39,875 --> 00:14:41,750
Wow, I'm so happy!

237
00:14:41,833 --> 00:14:42,833
Here you go.

238
00:14:42,916 --> 00:14:44,208
Thanks.

239
00:14:44,708 --> 00:14:46,708
Ready?

240
00:14:48,458 --> 00:14:49,291
You lost!

241
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,083
-Yay!
-I lost?!

242
00:14:51,166 --> 00:14:52,833
-You lost!
-Ugh, no way!

243
00:14:53,416 --> 00:14:55,666
<i>Please save me, Hijiri!</i>

244
00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:56,958
<i>Shukuchi!</i>

245
00:15:00,125 --> 00:15:02,166
<i>Damn! You bastard!</i>

00:15:05,541 --> 00:15:08,708
<i>Hijiri, you bastard!</i>
<i>You understand, don't you?</i>

249
00:15:08,791 --> 00:15:12,500
<i>Laying a hand on the Shukutai</i>

Ichinose.

256
00:15:42,666 --> 00:15:44,541
Hey, how have you been?

257
00:15:51,958 --> 00:15:52,958
Wait.

258
00:15:53,958 --> 00:15:54,791
Can I come in?

259
00:15:56,416 --> 00:15:58,250
Of course. Come in.

260
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:00,708
Thanks.

261
00:16:08,916 --> 00:16:10,333
Wow.

262
00:16:10,416 --> 00:16:12,625
Do you take care of all these?

263
00:16:13,125 --> 00:16:15,625
Oh, no. Our office staff,
Natsume, does.

264
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,166
I haven't done anything.

265
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
We got the plants from the previous owner.

266
00:16:22,083 --> 00:16:25,291
You could say Natsume works here
because she likes them so much.

267
00:16:28,125 --> 00:16:29,125
Have a seat.

268
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:41,083
Shoot.

269
00:16:43,208 --> 00:16:44,625
Sorry for dropping by.

270
00:16:46,125 --> 00:16:49,083
I couldn't get in touch with you,
and I got worried.

271
00:16:49,833 --> 00:16:51,416
I took the plunge and came by.

272
00:16:53,125 --> 00:16:54,125
Well…

273
00:16:54,791 --> 00:16:57,000
Things have just been busy.

274
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:58,083
Ow, that's hot!

275
00:16:59,708 --> 00:17:02,041
Can I take your word for that?

276
00:17:03,416 --> 00:17:04,416
Huh?

277
00:17:05,083 --> 00:17:06,083
It's just…

278
00:17:07,458 --> 00:17:09,291
I thought you hated me.

279
00:17:10,458 --> 00:17:13,583
That's not it.

280
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:14,500
Not at all.

281
00:17:17,250 --> 00:17:18,541
That's good then.

282
00:17:22,791 --> 00:17:24,500
-Are you interested?
-Huh?!

283
00:17:26,416 --> 00:17:27,833
In <i>Kenseikitan</i>.

284
00:17:31,416 --> 00:17:34,500
One of my clients likes it,
so I've been studying up on it.

285
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,416
-Here you go.
-Thanks.

286
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,583
I see.

287
00:17:39,083 --> 00:17:41,291
It's really popular, isn't it?

288
00:17:41,958 --> 00:17:43,958
Is Hijiri-kun their <i>oshi</i>?

289
00:17:46,083 --> 00:17:47,000
You know about it?

290
00:17:48,666 --> 00:17:50,125
We're covering it right now.

291
00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:51,375
I see.

292
00:17:54,458 --> 00:17:55,666
Like this.

293
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,625
Hijiri-kun's fans bought out
a digital billboard for his birthday.

294
00:18:04,416 --> 00:18:06,250
That's amazing.

295
00:18:06,833 --> 00:18:09,041
I think they're lucky

296
00:18:10,416 --> 00:18:14,250
to be able to devote themselves
like that to someone.

297
00:18:17,375 --> 00:18:19,250
Even if it's a 2D character,

298
00:18:20,416 --> 00:18:24,041
I wish I could love someone
that sincerely.

299
00:18:37,125 --> 00:18:38,958
Have you

300
00:18:40,125 --> 00:18:42,541
never had someone like that?

301
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:47,833
I wouldn't say never.

302
00:18:51,041 --> 00:18:54,500
But I don't think I've ever had
a real romance.

303
00:18:57,625 --> 00:19:01,666
A lot of people approach me
because I'm on TV a lot.

304
00:19:01,750 --> 00:19:03,833
And I learn the hard way.

305
00:19:05,583 --> 00:19:07,541
Sometimes I get serious,

306
00:19:08,041 --> 00:19:11,750
but once we sleep together, they ghost me.

307
00:19:16,750 --> 00:19:19,416
So I became scared of love.

308
00:19:34,166 --> 00:19:35,625
You take trains, huh?

309
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:36,583
What?

310
00:19:37,083 --> 00:19:38,708
You're a public figure though.

311
00:19:39,666 --> 00:19:43,083
Of course I take trains.
I'm still just a company employee.

312
00:19:45,041 --> 00:19:46,458
But just in case…

313
00:19:48,333 --> 00:19:49,458
There.

314
00:19:52,583 --> 00:19:56,750
What do your patients
come to your clinic for?

315
00:19:57,250 --> 00:19:58,541
Things like ED?

316
00:20:01,958 --> 00:20:04,208
We do get a lot
of erectile dysfunction cases.

317
00:20:05,125 --> 00:20:07,000
If you include mild cases,

318
00:20:07,083 --> 00:20:09,416
they say 18 million men in Japan have it.

319
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:10,916
That many?!

320
00:20:15,208 --> 00:20:17,083
Do you have female patients too?

321
00:20:18,166 --> 00:20:19,958
Yeah. Not that many though.

322
00:20:22,541 --> 00:20:23,416
I'm glad.

323
00:20:24,416 --> 00:20:25,250
Huh?

324
00:20:26,916 --> 00:20:28,875
They have someone they can talk to.

325
00:20:30,333 --> 00:20:32,625
Women have sexual concerns too.

326
00:20:33,291 --> 00:20:34,583
And sexual desires.

327
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:44,750
If you ever want to talk, I'm here.

328
00:20:47,250 --> 00:20:48,916
Do you mean it?

329
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,666
You haven't even read any of my messages.

330
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:54,791
I mean it.
I'll reply properly from now on.

331
00:20:56,250 --> 00:20:57,500
I'm kidding.

332
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:13,666
Women have sexual desires too.

333
00:22:09,125 --> 00:22:10,083
<i>Don't run away.</i>

334
00:22:10,166 --> 00:22:12,833
You should get
deeply involved with someone.

335
00:22:13,416 --> 00:22:15,750
Someone who isn't your patient.

336
00:22:23,250 --> 00:22:26,583
{\an8}YUMI ICHINOSE

337
00:22:26,666 --> 00:22:30,416
{\an8}UNBLOCK?
CANCEL / UNBLOCK

338
00:22:33,291 --> 00:22:34,791
{\an8}UNBLOCK

339
00:22:35,291 --> 00:22:37,291
{\an8}YOU HAVE UNBLOCKED YUMI ICHINOSE

340
00:22:59,625 --> 00:23:01,750
Hey, Yuta?

341
00:23:01,833 --> 00:23:04,375
Are you ever gonna work
at your family's hospital?

342
00:23:05,916 --> 00:23:06,958
Why would I?

343
00:23:07,458 --> 00:23:08,916
There's no way.

344
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,375
I've cut ties with my parents
and my brother.

345
00:23:12,458 --> 00:23:14,916
Your brother's running it now, right?

346
00:23:16,875 --> 00:23:19,875
Even if I asked to work there,

347
00:23:20,666 --> 00:23:22,291
he wouldn't want me there.

348
00:23:23,208 --> 00:23:25,125
Not that I'd ever ask.

349
00:23:25,625 --> 00:23:27,125
I see.

350
00:23:27,625 --> 00:23:29,208
That's a relief.

351
00:23:29,291 --> 00:23:30,291
Yeah?

352
00:23:31,666 --> 00:23:33,625
I like living in Tokyo.

353
00:23:38,541 --> 00:23:40,041
Anyway,

354
00:23:40,125 --> 00:23:42,416
I'm glad you got transferred
to dermatology.

355
00:23:43,458 --> 00:23:48,625
Back when you were in psychiatry,
you looked completely overwhelmed.

356
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,333
Plus,

357
00:23:52,916 --> 00:23:56,208
it didn't seem like
you had time for this stuff.

358
00:23:59,666 --> 00:24:00,666
Yeah.

359
00:24:03,875 --> 00:24:07,875
I can't tell her I'm working
for a doctor who's basically a weirdo,

360
00:24:07,958 --> 00:24:11,333
doing work that's turning me
into a weirdo too.

361
00:24:11,416 --> 00:24:14,250
We have a customer
who's a fan of yours, Koropokkuru!

362
00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:15,750
Really?!

363
00:24:15,833 --> 00:24:17,041
Now, little lost one.

364
00:24:17,125 --> 00:24:19,500
I'll cast a spell to make it extra tasty.

365
00:24:19,583 --> 00:24:24,958
Here! <i>Runerune firifiri moyamoya rin</i>!

366
00:24:25,041 --> 00:24:27,416
Here's your magic powder!

367
00:24:31,541 --> 00:24:32,458
Hey, old man.

368
00:24:32,541 --> 00:24:34,041
I'm Koropokkuru.

369
00:24:35,375 --> 00:24:36,875
Why are you working here?

370
00:24:38,833 --> 00:24:40,041
W-Why?

371
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:43,333
Stay away from Mio.

372
00:24:43,416 --> 00:24:44,583
What?

373
00:24:45,541 --> 00:24:48,291
I said stay away from Mio!

374
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:50,708
Huh? Mio?

375
00:24:50,791 --> 00:24:52,041
You're an Undine fan?

376
00:24:52,125 --> 00:24:54,750
Then come when she's working.
She'll be here later--

377
00:24:54,833 --> 00:24:57,583
I don't care! Just quit already, old man!

378
00:24:58,541 --> 00:25:00,125
O-Old man?

379
00:25:07,541 --> 00:25:10,625
Fairies don't have ages either.

380
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:12,875
Manager…

381
00:25:19,791 --> 00:25:24,583
A guy friend came on to you,
and that's what got you into this?

382
00:25:26,916 --> 00:25:30,458
We're in the same grade,
and we're both into anime.

383
00:25:30,541 --> 00:25:32,375
We even went to events together.

384
00:25:33,375 --> 00:25:36,416
Then one day,
he said he wanted to come over.

385
00:25:37,875 --> 00:25:40,875
I wanted to show him
my collection and stuff, so…

386
00:25:43,208 --> 00:25:44,708
And then…

387
00:25:46,041 --> 00:25:47,166
All of a sudden,

388
00:25:47,916 --> 00:25:49,375
he kissed me

389
00:25:50,041 --> 00:25:51,583
and started touching my chest.

390
00:25:52,250 --> 00:25:54,208
I got scared and told him no,
and he said,

391
00:25:54,291 --> 00:25:56,166
"Then why did you let me in?"

392
00:25:58,916 --> 00:26:03,208
If I'd had sex with him back then,

393
00:26:03,291 --> 00:26:06,916
maybe we'd still be friends now.

394
00:26:07,416 --> 00:26:09,750
I kept thinking that over and over.

395
00:26:13,833 --> 00:26:17,000
And that was when you really got into

396
00:26:17,083 --> 00:26:18,291
Hijiri-kun?

397
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,250
2D characters will never
look at me that way.

398
00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:25,000
Even without touching each other,

399
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:28,125
we can still feel connected.

400
00:26:29,583 --> 00:26:33,208
That said, I <i>do </i>look at Hijiri that way.

401
00:26:35,291 --> 00:26:38,500
But deep down, I understand.

402
00:26:40,125 --> 00:26:41,375
After all,

403
00:26:41,875 --> 00:26:43,875
my periods started late.

404
00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:46,041
I'm still just a kid.

405
00:26:46,875 --> 00:26:51,083
I have to step into the real world
someday to grow up.

406
00:26:51,833 --> 00:26:53,500
No. That's not--

407
00:26:55,125 --> 00:26:56,541
Crap! My shift!

408
00:26:56,625 --> 00:26:59,041
All right. These are for you.

409
00:26:59,125 --> 00:26:59,958
Are you sure?

410
00:27:00,041 --> 00:27:02,541
Yeah. Take care of them, okay?

411
00:27:02,625 --> 00:27:04,833
Oh, Micchi's coming by today.

412
00:27:04,916 --> 00:27:06,041
Micchi?

413
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:08,250
He's become my fan lately.

414
00:27:08,333 --> 00:27:10,125
I used to be all about <i>oshikatsu</i>,

415
00:27:10,208 --> 00:27:12,833
but being someone's <i>oshi</i>
is actually pretty fun too.

416
00:27:13,333 --> 00:27:15,000
I talk too much in here.

417
00:27:15,083 --> 00:27:16,625
I'd better go!

418
00:27:16,708 --> 00:27:18,291
Thank you.

419
00:27:18,375 --> 00:27:20,083
Take care of them, okay?

420
00:27:21,041 --> 00:27:23,333
Yay, I gave them to him!

421
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,250
This is for you.

422
00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:35,583
Next time…

423
00:27:43,541 --> 00:27:45,166
<i>You're meeting outside the café?</i>

424
00:27:45,250 --> 00:27:48,666
Yeah. But we're just going
to a Kenseikitan event.

425
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:51,291
-Really?
-I thought you didn't do outside dates.

426
00:27:51,375 --> 00:27:52,333
I did too.

427
00:27:52,833 --> 00:27:55,166
I figured Micchi might be okay.

428
00:27:55,250 --> 00:27:57,666
Well, he's a really big fan of yours.

429
00:27:57,750 --> 00:28:00,000
But just stick to the event, okay?

430
00:28:00,083 --> 00:28:01,458
No karaoke or anything.

431
00:28:01,541 --> 00:28:03,041
Private rooms are a no-go.

432
00:28:03,125 --> 00:28:05,125
Yeah. I know.

433
00:28:05,208 --> 00:28:07,333
By the way, Micchi's cute, right?

434
00:28:07,416 --> 00:28:08,833
-You think so too?
-Yeah.

435
00:28:08,916 --> 00:28:10,458
Is he older than us?

436
00:28:10,541 --> 00:28:13,416
He said he's a fourth-year in college.

437
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:15,041
-Oh.
-He's smart!

438
00:28:27,791 --> 00:28:29,666
I'm heading out.

439
00:28:30,833 --> 00:28:31,666
Natsume.

440
00:28:34,958 --> 00:28:37,708
You mentioned that you
sometimes make clothes, right?

441
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,833
Yes.

442
00:28:40,875 --> 00:28:43,708
Do you think you could make
something like this?

443
00:29:03,333 --> 00:29:04,416
Undine.

444
00:29:05,875 --> 00:29:07,750
Or should I say, Mio?

445
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:08,708
Did you wait?

446
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,333
All right. Let's go.

447
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:13,166
The end of the line's that way.

448
00:29:15,375 --> 00:29:16,583
Not there.

449
00:29:18,833 --> 00:29:22,041
I came here by car,
so let's go for a ride.

450
00:29:28,416 --> 00:29:29,625
But…

451
00:29:31,833 --> 00:29:34,041
I don't wanna get into a car.

452
00:29:34,125 --> 00:29:38,166
Really? But the line's huge.

453
00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:41,166
And it's hot here.

454
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,833
Shukuchi.

455
00:30:33,791 --> 00:30:36,000
Sorry to keep you waiting, Mio.

456
00:30:37,166 --> 00:30:38,875
Doctor…

457
00:30:39,541 --> 00:30:41,500
Who the hell are you?

458
00:30:42,666 --> 00:30:45,750
She's a minor.
Where do you think you're taking her?

459
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:54,958
If it's to protect her,

460
00:30:56,791 --> 00:30:58,833
I'll cut down anyone, even a god!

461
00:30:59,416 --> 00:31:01,625
Wow!

462
00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:04,000
What the hell? You creep!

463
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:09,375
Doctor, how did you…?

464
00:31:09,458 --> 00:31:11,375
Well, Saikawa--

465
00:31:12,083 --> 00:31:14,666
I mean, Koropokkuru told me.

466
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:21,708
I was so scared.

467
00:31:24,583 --> 00:31:25,708
It's okay.

468
00:31:25,791 --> 00:31:28,208
I got carried away with
being someone's <i>oshi</i>--

469
00:31:31,625 --> 00:31:34,333
Don't come near Mio
dressed like that, you creep!

470
00:31:34,416 --> 00:31:35,458
-It's pathetic!
-Takeru!

471
00:31:35,541 --> 00:31:37,208
Stop, Takeru!

472
00:31:37,291 --> 00:31:39,916
He's a doctor from the clinic!
He helped me!

473
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:45,500
Could you be…

474
00:31:47,250 --> 00:31:48,416
Ow…

475
00:32:01,791 --> 00:32:02,958
Thank you.

476
00:32:03,041 --> 00:32:04,041
No problem.

477
00:32:06,416 --> 00:32:09,250
You were keeping an eye
on the Fairy Café, right?

478
00:32:14,958 --> 00:32:16,416
That place

479
00:32:16,916 --> 00:32:21,083
had shady rumors about girls
sugar dating outside the café.

480
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:25,333
Just like Hijiri-kun would,

481
00:32:25,833 --> 00:32:29,250
you were trying to protect Mio
from danger, weren't you?

482
00:32:32,875 --> 00:32:34,500
I wasn't…

483
00:32:36,083 --> 00:32:39,166
Instead of protecting her,
I ended up hurting her.

484
00:32:42,041 --> 00:32:45,000
I like 2D characters too,

485
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,541
but it's not like
I'm not interested in real people.

486
00:32:50,083 --> 00:32:52,458
I thought Mio felt the same way.

487
00:32:55,375 --> 00:32:58,125
I figured it was okay
since she let me into her room.

488
00:33:00,166 --> 00:33:03,500
You ended up lashing out
because you were embarrassed.

489
00:33:07,166 --> 00:33:10,375
But after that,
I looked into a lot of things.

490
00:33:11,041 --> 00:33:13,458
I learned what "sexual consent" is.

491
00:33:18,666 --> 00:33:21,125
You learned that being alone
in a room with someone

492
00:33:21,208 --> 00:33:25,250
doesn't mean they're consenting to sex.

493
00:33:27,458 --> 00:33:28,291
Yes.

494
00:33:33,291 --> 00:33:36,083
Mio…

495
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:40,666
I'm really sorry.

496
00:33:44,291 --> 00:33:47,500
I hope we can go back to being friends.

497
00:34:01,291 --> 00:34:04,916
You don't have to
give your answer right now.

498
00:34:20,083 --> 00:34:21,958
I know it's kind of late to ask,

499
00:34:22,458 --> 00:34:24,750
but why are you cosplaying as Hijiri-kun?

500
00:34:29,708 --> 00:34:31,916
Listening to you talk about him,

501
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,666
I became a fan too.

502
00:34:35,250 --> 00:34:37,166
Dressing up like Hijiri-kun

503
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:39,791
gave me a little more courage than usual.

504
00:34:57,666 --> 00:34:58,666
Then…

505
00:35:01,416 --> 00:35:04,833
Starting today,
the three of us are <i>oshikatsu </i>buddies.

506
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Huh?

507
00:35:12,333 --> 00:35:14,916
Why don't we go inside,
since we're already here?

508
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:19,833
Drink it up. You too, Doctor.

509
00:35:19,916 --> 00:35:20,833
Okay.

510
00:35:22,625 --> 00:35:24,750
Come on. Do you want liquid sugar?

511
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:27,083
I'm okay.

512
00:35:38,958 --> 00:35:41,291
I found my first real-life <i>oshi</i>.

513
00:35:44,250 --> 00:35:45,250
What?

514
00:35:46,583 --> 00:35:49,083
Thank you, Doctor.

515
00:35:49,166 --> 00:35:52,500
-Doctor, scoot a little closer.
-Oh, okay.

516
00:35:54,583 --> 00:35:56,916
I should be thanking you.

517
00:35:58,916 --> 00:36:03,041
Love can take many different forms.

518
00:36:04,208 --> 00:36:05,875
I think you taught me that.

519
00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:09,208
Ready?

520
00:36:09,291 --> 00:36:11,125
-Yes.
-Yes.

521
00:36:11,958 --> 00:36:17,416
Even without a physical relationship,
people can still connect emotionally.

522
00:36:19,291 --> 00:36:22,708
You gave me a prescription, Mio.

523
00:36:28,208 --> 00:36:29,500
A prescription?

524
00:36:30,208 --> 00:36:32,125
You had it rough,

525
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:34,166
Koropokkuru.

526
00:36:34,250 --> 00:36:36,291
Seriously, stop calling me that.

527
00:36:37,416 --> 00:36:40,291
It's crazy how invested
the doctor gets in all this.

528
00:36:40,375 --> 00:36:42,458
Yeah. It's a problem, huh?

529
00:36:42,541 --> 00:36:43,791
It's frustrating.

530
00:36:43,875 --> 00:36:45,166
Okay, that's enough.

531
00:36:45,250 --> 00:36:47,416
No. I'm taking about myself.

532
00:36:48,083 --> 00:36:50,083
I'm frustrated with myself.

533
00:36:51,208 --> 00:36:54,916
He drags me around,
but I end up seeing his point.

534
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,416
And I'd get a little emotional too.

535
00:37:00,333 --> 00:37:02,625
You two might actually make a good match.

536
00:37:03,125 --> 00:37:06,291
I see why Professor Kurusu
recommended this place for you.

537
00:37:07,916 --> 00:37:09,166
Please stop.

538
00:37:09,250 --> 00:37:12,541
I'm gonna find something else to do
and quit being a nurse.

539
00:37:12,625 --> 00:37:14,125
Oh, yeah?

540
00:37:14,208 --> 00:37:17,208
Saikawa, Natsume,
you can head out now.

541
00:37:17,291 --> 00:37:18,708
Thank you for today.

542
00:37:21,166 --> 00:37:22,083
<i>Because I love my </i>oshi<i>.</i>

543
00:37:23,125 --> 00:37:27,541
<i>If you don't tell someone</i>
<i>you love them, they won't know.</i>

544
00:37:27,625 --> 00:37:29,458
<i>Don't you think so?</i>

545
00:37:30,666 --> 00:37:32,375
Oh, a feature on Hijiri-kun?

546
00:37:32,458 --> 00:37:33,333
<i>You're right.</i>

547
00:37:33,416 --> 00:37:35,833
You're really into it now, huh?

548
00:37:36,416 --> 00:37:38,291
Oh, yes.

549
00:37:38,375 --> 00:37:41,125
-Who was this reporter again?
-Huh?

550
00:37:41,208 --> 00:37:42,375
Ichinose?

551
00:37:42,458 --> 00:37:43,750
Oh, that's right.

552
00:37:43,833 --> 00:37:45,333
She's pretty, isn't she?

553
00:37:46,333 --> 00:37:47,791
Totally my type.

554
00:37:47,875 --> 00:37:50,458
Saikawa, Natsume,
you can head out now.

555
00:37:50,541 --> 00:37:51,708
Wait a minute.

556
00:37:51,791 --> 00:37:54,583
Wasn't the lady who called the doctor
also named Ichinose?

557
00:37:54,666 --> 00:37:56,833
-What?
-Oh, you're right.

558
00:38:03,083 --> 00:38:04,500
Good work today.

559
00:38:09,125 --> 00:38:11,708
Huh? Wait. No way.

560
00:38:12,333 --> 00:38:13,333
There's no way.

561
00:38:13,416 --> 00:38:15,750
No, absolutely not.

562
00:38:21,083 --> 00:38:23,708
So, how is he doing?

563
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:29,083
I can't say due to
patient confidentiality.

564
00:38:31,708 --> 00:38:35,583
Patient? Isn't he more like
an experiment to you?

565
00:38:35,666 --> 00:38:39,583
Don't say that.
You make it sound scandalous.

566
00:38:41,125 --> 00:38:42,125
Well…

567
00:38:46,791 --> 00:38:49,250
I'll be watching to see
how this plays out.

568
00:39:09,791 --> 00:39:10,875
Shimotori?

569
00:39:12,375 --> 00:39:14,750
Yes. This is Shimotori.

570
00:39:16,875 --> 00:39:18,666
You called me.

571
00:39:21,166 --> 00:39:22,500
Um…

572
00:39:23,541 --> 00:39:25,166
If you're okay with it,

573
00:39:26,708 --> 00:39:29,333
I was hoping we could meet again.

574
00:39:31,125 --> 00:39:35,375
<i>Even without a physical relationship,</i>
<i>people can still connect emotionally.</i>

575
00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:41,041
<i>I wonder if the prescription I gave</i>
<i>might work on me too.</i>

576
00:39:42,666 --> 00:39:44,250
I'm impressed.

577
00:39:45,041 --> 00:39:48,041
People actually talk about
things like sexual consent.

578
00:39:49,833 --> 00:39:51,333
With all that in mind,

579
00:39:51,416 --> 00:39:56,125
some people might think
love isn't worth the effort.

580
00:39:57,583 --> 00:40:01,666
But I think there's
that much value in love.

581
00:40:46,625 --> 00:40:48,458
-Sorry.
-Sorry.

582
00:40:50,416 --> 00:40:51,583
We got soaked.

583
00:40:53,458 --> 00:40:56,000
I shouldn't have insisted on
going to another bar.

584
00:40:56,916 --> 00:40:57,833
It's okay.

585
00:40:58,375 --> 00:41:01,375
This guerrilla rainstorm
came out of nowhere.

586
00:41:02,541 --> 00:41:03,541
Localized heavy rain.

587
00:41:04,791 --> 00:41:05,791
What?

588
00:41:07,291 --> 00:41:09,041
Localized heavy rain.

589
00:41:09,541 --> 00:41:12,375
"Guerrilla" isn't really a nice term.

590
00:41:14,375 --> 00:41:17,291
Just what I'd expect
from a former weather presenter.

591
00:41:18,458 --> 00:41:19,666
Stop it.

592
00:41:22,833 --> 00:41:23,750
Here.

593
00:41:26,458 --> 00:41:27,458
Thanks.

594
00:41:30,958 --> 00:41:32,375
What should we do?

595
00:41:33,083 --> 00:41:34,708
We might catch a cold.

596
00:41:35,833 --> 00:41:37,125
That's true.

597
00:41:38,833 --> 00:41:40,083
I'll go get a taxi.

598
00:41:54,750 --> 00:41:56,375
If you don't tell them,

599
00:41:57,916 --> 00:41:59,333
they won't know.

600
00:42:01,791 --> 00:42:03,250
Shimotori!

601
00:42:24,791 --> 00:42:25,791
Sorry.

602
00:42:28,250 --> 00:42:29,666
Even for a kiss,

603
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:32,666
you need sexual consent, right?

604
00:42:41,666 --> 00:42:42,666
I…

605
00:42:45,083 --> 00:42:46,833
I like you.

606
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:50,333
I liked you back then,

607
00:42:51,875 --> 00:42:52,875
and I still do.

608
00:42:58,500 --> 00:42:59,708
So…

609
00:43:07,083 --> 00:43:08,083
So…

610
00:45:15,458 --> 00:45:17,375
