Thank you for your patronage.

It's cheap.

What should we do?

There is nothing we can do.

We have to continue with it, now that we've started it.

I have to help falsify the accounts for just three million,

it's not worth it.

There is no point telling me that.

I'll bring the paperwork for settling accounts next week.

It must be tough, just because you care for your older brother.

Family is important.

You are laughing too much.

Has he been here lately?

The guy who has an accounting firm nearby?

Oh, office Nemoto? Do you mean Kosei?

- That's him. - Who is he?

Tap one, it's Rorobia's Sour Saison.

I told you about it before, the worst story ever!

I was drinking here, and he was talking to me.

I didn't have a boyfriend back then,

so I went with the flow and went to his office.

He fell asleep right in the middle of it?

That's it!

Oh my, I'm sorry. He likes to drink, but he's not that strong.

And when he woke up in the morning and saw my face,

he said "I don't know who you are, but could you leave?"

Isn't that the worst?

It's the worst.

You don't have to forgive him on my account.

Welcome.

Hello.

Welcome, Kosei.

- Well, I'll have a... - How about a revival ale?

- Okay, I'll have that. - Okay.

Could we get our bill first?

Oh, okay.

- Thank you very much. - Of course.

It's exact.

Here you go.

- Thank you, I'm sorry. - Thank you very much.

- Thank you for coming. - It was delicious.

Ah, you're the boyfriend...

- Huh? - Akira's.

Oh, yes.

What do you do for work?

I work for Kashimura Estate.

That's a huge company! You are an elite.

No, not at all.

You are...

I'm an accountant.

Right.

Well, it's just that I heard your office is close by?

Kosei!

What?

It's fine, but Kosei!

Don't say my name like that. What is it?

I'll keep this suitcase at the back so it's not in the way.

Thank you.

Are you going on a business trip?

Oh no... I'm going to stay with Akira.

You are spending the night? That's great.

Not really. I have problems at home.

Welcome.

Good evening, sorry to make you wait.

I have to work overtime.

Dividing the work load wasn't easy.

Dividing?

I've been promoted as a special chief advisor...

Congratulations.

- It's not. - It's not?

No, I'm tired.

Akira, what would you like?

Well, then...

- Okay. - Is it short circuit?

What?

Even if it's labelled as a Japanese manufacturer,

the inner parts have been switched with cheaper foreign parts.

If you use them, sometimes they short circuit and cause fires.

It's a problem for an appliances manufacturer.

- Were you talking about appliances? - No.

He said he has an issue at home and can't go home.

I thought maybe it was a short circuit.

That's a problem!

Ah, well, no.

- I think I'll actually go home. - What?

I'm a bit tired.

I'm going home, I'm sorry.

Okay.

Then that girl was saying

that he fell asleep in the middle of it. I spurted out my beer.

Kosei is like that.

What? A person who falls asleep during it?

I don't know about it. He'll sort of invite a girl over for the night.

The girl seemed easy too.

Not my style.

How many days' change of clothes do you have?

I'm sorry, I know you have work too.

How bad is it?

It's like after a hurricane.

If I'm there, it'll be destroyed since she throws things at me.

How did that happen?

I told her to move out by next month and look for a job seriously.

Will it work out somehow?

I hope so.

That was hard on you.

If I didn't have you, I would have died of stress.

Oh, this is so nice.

Was she the one who was there when I came over?

You don't remember her although you took her home with you?

Oh...

I'm sorry, did I make you lose a customer?

It's fine since she doesn't come here that often.

She was here for the one-year anniversary.

- One year anniversary? - Yes.

- Ah. - Do you remember now?

I don't remember anything from that day.

You were really drunk.

I supposedly asked her... Akira.

Who did?

I did. I asked her to spend the night.

What? Stop it.

No problem, she rejected my offer...

so I went to the woman I don't remember.

What?

You called Akira creepy, but isn't she actually your type?

What?

No, not possible.

- Not possible. - Then why did you ask her?

I wonder why.

I saw you at a station this morning,

but your train was different from usual.

Well...

Did you spend the night at Shinkai's place?

Right.

Wait, what? What?

I knew it. It's not Shinkai who lives at your condo.

Wait.

What? What are you saying?

About the power bill that we were talking about at the BBQ.

She said she left the AC on since it was so hot

and you got upset because the power bill was so high.

He was upset with me.

But you complained about your roommate and the power bill

in winter. It was this February.

Why did you lie about Shinkai living with you to the manager?

It was because of you and your big mouth.

Who do you live with...

really?

An imp.

It's so cheap.

"Staff wanted" There it is! "Need experience"!

You are expensive. You are worth more than I am.

"Special Price! Holland Lop, Colour, orange. Birthday April 15"

If you're looking for Hanai in 303, it's me.

Oh, Hanai.

- May I get your signature? - Sure.

"To Kyoya Hanai. From Chiharu Hanai"

Dried sardines.

Rice crackers.

Not again.

Peanut crackers are good!

"Citron vinegar"

Akira?

"Dear Akira, drink a little every day to feel better"

Ueno, if you need something, please go ahead.

Just be normal. Go ahead.

- It's about Miyako Tokusan. - Okay.

Okay. Please sit.

They want something more when we renew their EC site,

their request is something catchy using Goya bitter melon.

The president said to work with you since you're good at it.

I'm good at it? Where did he get that idea?

He said it's the creator part of "special chief creator."

I don't quite agree with that broad title of mine yet.

It's a bother for you to work with me, right?

It's not like that. It's not that it bothers me...

I'm just talking about how the work is divided here.

Fine. I'll think about it with you.

- You're fine with it? - Yes.

- Can I take your picture? - Yes, what?

I want your picture so I can have it as my phone's wallpaper.

If I see it every day, then my feelings for you will get excited.

You don't have to get excited over something you don't like.

The president has that picture of Setsuko Hara as well.

If I follow his example, then maybe I could live that arrogantly.

Ueno, there's nothing between Setsuko Hara and his arrogance.

Perfect. Don't you want a picture of both of you? I'll send it to you.

Matsutoya...

What am I going to do seeing myself?

It's hell to see my own face every time I look at my phone.

I just want a picture of Shinkai. I want Shinkai to be my wallpaper.

You're being loud.

I always have a picture of my boyfriend and I.

I get happy every time I see it.

Please don't think everyone is like you.

How else would you think it?

Both of you, it's business hours.

You all!

You are all getting along really well.

Sales department is finally coming together.

Appointing Shinkai as a special chief creator was a success!

Make sure to order new business cards with your new title.

I'm off!

Good bye.

Good bye.

How about this?

This is wonderful. Could you send it to me?

I don't know your e-mail, Ueno.

Right away! Immediately!

I want to go astray.

This one? Oh, this one?

You like this one?

- This too. - This one too?

- This one. - What? That's everything.

- You want it all? - Yes.

Kosei, what is this?

You are so annoying. That?

It looks like a bundle of cash to me.

Nobody puts cash in a trash can.

Oh, so this is actually a safe that looks like a trash can?

I'd say that'd be a pretty unsafe safe.

Excuse me.

Come in.

- Oh. - Kosei, it's been a while.

What's the matter?

Did your mother contact you recently?

- My mother? - Yes, Nahoko.

No, she hasn't contacted me.

Please...

- She contacted you? - Yes.

About Yota.

Nahoko can't get over Yota.

What? Is Yota Kosei's illegitimate child or something?

Why?

He's my older brother.

What? You have an older brother?

What is he like? Are they similar?

They are not.

You don't have to answer him.

Hey! Take the bowl and leave!

Okay.

- Thank you! - You thief!

Leave it.

I'm sorry about that.

- So...? - Yes, she sent me this,

instructing me to hire an investigator

to look for Yota in Tokyo.

He's in Tokyo right now?

Yota was working as a day labourer after he closed down his company,

and his co-worker then

saw someone like him in Tokyo working as a day labourer.

Why did Nahoko send it to me instead of asking you, Kosei?

My mother blames me for my older brother's disappearance.

Well, it is my fault.

But you helped Yota out with his debt, right?

That's what I heard.

My older brother was always upstanding,

and was very popular.

He couldn't stand the fact that I, his younger brother, helped him out.

So he disappeared.

But there's no doubt that you saved Yota,

so you don't need to feel responsible.

I don't feel responsible. It's just...

that I did something stupid based on my impulse.

Something stupid?

Uncle, you're my dad's younger brother, so mum is not your concern,

so it's okay for you to ignore it.

My father is dead already.

Well, I can't just do that.

My older brother disappeared of his own will.

As a family,

I want to respect his feelings.

Not everything is here yet,

but one of a kind will sell quickly, so choose now.

Clothing is an encounter.

An encounter?

The moment you want to wear it, you have to buy it.

I need to decide instantly.

What about now? What kind of clothes do you want?

A powerful one.

Powerful?

The one where I can win against an arrogant president.

Ah! How about this one?

That looks great. It's sexy!

I prefer more fabric.

Really?

But maybe this is what I need to get away from Setsuko Hara.

Setsuko Hara?

It's his mental Goddess.

Goddess! That's nice. She's a symbol of freedom!

Freedom. This thing?

This. The Statue of Liberty's facial expression is quite harsh.

I liked it too.

Did you see the actual thing?

I lived there for over two years.

You need to fight to gain some freedom.

Ah! How about this one? You look powerful.

I'll pick this one.

Thank you for purchasing it.

I don't have a register yet. Could you bring the tag to the event?

Is that okay? To pay it later?

You're Kosei's friend. I'll put it in a bag.

He's not that much of a friend. We just frequent the same bar.

He's quite awkward, but be nice to him.

Kosei and you were...

First, we went home together.

Oh, like that.

- I did. - You did?

Yes. Kosei was around and he looked like he was doing nothing.

It lasted for a while. A long time without commitment.

Well, if nothing happened, we might still be together.

Nothing?

Say on a road with several fast cars,

there's no light or anything,

but you just want to jump out and cross it

to the other side. Does that ever happen to you?

It's dangerous and it's a nuisance.

Right.

So you took him home?

Well, I guess it was like that back then.

But I thought I crossed it, but I didn't quite go all the way.

Before I crossed the whole thing,

a really fast car came out of nowhere and crashed into me.

My injury was minor, but I realised I was on the wrong path.

That's...

the reason I broke up with Kosei.

It's hard to understand.

Wear this and go for it! Go all the way!

There's a huge obstacle before crossing the road.

Just punch that annoying president!

That wasn't about the president, it's about my boyfriend.

Your boyfriend? You want to punch your boyfriend?

It's not that I want to punch him. It's actually the opposite.

- Welcome home. - Hi.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Why do kids...

have such beautiful eyes? Their eyes are so clear.

- Their skin is smooth too. - Yes.

If only we could stay beautiful like when we were born.

Akira, you're beautiful.

Your child would be cute.

But if it's a girl, it could be worrisome.

So boys are better? No! I do want a girl too.

My little sister, the one in Ogasawara,

she was really cute as a child. All she does now is talk smart to me.

I didn't tell you, but recently...

I was asked by one of my co-workers

if it was okay for him to like me.

Which one?

The new one in the sales department.

He's younger than you. What did you say?

I can't date him, but if he likes me then there's nothing I can do.

Ah, right.

Is that all?

Well, you're not going to like him, right?

I won't.

Who's calling so late?

Huh? My mother?

Hey, does Akira need money?

Huh?

Well, remember how she said

her mother used Akira's money for her multi-level marketing.

Did something like that happen again?

No? Why did you think so?

It's Saki! Saki from back home called me,

and she said "Isn't this strange fish drawing Chiharu's?"

What? Back home? You mean Fukui?

What does that have to do with Akira?

Internet auction?

"Citron vinegar"

That was fast!

"This auction is over"

"Drink a little every day to feel better"

Nemoto!

I'm sorry to make you wait.

Sorry to call you in so suddenly.

I'm not prepared at all, so what kind of a company is it?

The company is unqualified but has no major problems every year.

Oh, then it's easy.

Why don't you close your office and come back to us?

You don't have enough personnel?

There are, but none is capable.

No, I don't want to be an auditor.

Your annual income will be considerable.

You'll regret it once you get me back in.

I can deal with your sharp tongue. It's a qualified opinion.

Well, that won't do.

What? Then how much?

The right to have adverse opinions.

That's not good.

You looked into it? I told you I was going to look into it.

It's creepy!

According to the delivery person, at the ground level of your condo,

a young woman said that she was Hanai.

It's very creepy.

I thought that might be a delivery theft.

We need to report it to the police and have them investigate it.

Hold off on calling the police.

I'll take care of it.

It might be my neighbour. I'll look into it so don't do anything.

Don't do anything? I didn't do anything wrong.

Chiharu, Grandpa is not breathing.

He's just sleeping. Come here.

Here.

So Grandpa...

can't move.

He's very, very weak, so his breath...

is very slight too.

Grandpa is not going to a facility?

A facility?

It's better to go to a facility.

Someone said that?

When that happens, everyone is happy.

Grandpa is...

very weak, but he's breathing.

He can't talk.

He can't eat either.

But Katsumi is alive.

Katsumi?

It's Chiharu's favourite person!

Morning!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Are you in rebellious mode again?

I want to go over my responsibilities.

Everyone, listen!

I will be meeting with a senior director of Tsurumaru Foods soon,

referred to us by Amakusa Pharmaceuticals.

If we get this job with Tsurumaru Foods, the largest in the industry,

it would be huge.

We'll be really busy.

Matsutoya will be in charge!

Ueno too, and Shinkai will be their leader. I'm counting on you!

Sir...

Can you book my hotel and flight for next week for Kanazawa?

- Um. - It'll be Sakuma and I.

See if there are any potential customers in the area,

and put it together with our schedule.

If I'm the leader for the sales department,

please ask someone else to take care of your secretarial duties.

I can't do it all.

But if I ask the others, the plane nor the hotel rooms will work.

Every time that happens, my spirit diminishes.

Do you know what that means?

An opportunity is lost.

That's why I'm telling you to hire a secretary as soon as possible.

Don't repeat it! I know! I'm looking for one, but I can't find anyone!

But the work load－

What's wrong with the work load?

I can't take it anymore!

That's not the point.

Is this valuable enough to waste my time?

How much does my minute cost?

Can I get a huge reward after using my time?

Answer it! Don't look!

I can't fight that.

Don't mind it.

What should I do to win against that power?

If you don't know the answer, then we sure won't know.

Matsutoya, you don't find this work hard?

Well, the president is like that. I don't like it, but you are here.

The sales manager who quit

probably figured it was fine as long as you are here.

I can't make it fine and it's not fine.

It is fine! Be confident!

Here are your new business cards.

Who ordered them?

"Sales department, Special chief creator, Akira Shinkai"

Here you go.

Thank you very much.

I have no clue what my new title special chief creator is,

I only see a future where I'm ordered to do everything.

Nobody lasts under that president.

It's unfortunate that he is so smart.

If a regular person's CPU is single core, his is triple.

I think things are tough for him as well.

- Sakuma... - Yes?

Even if that's true, could you please not say that stuff to me?

Oh, I'm sorry. What is it?

Why?

A local train for Yanaka Ginza will be coming soon.

Please step behind the yellow line.

The train for Yanaka Ginza is arriving at platform two.

Thank you for riding the train.

We are at Shinkyobashi.

The train at platform two is headed to Yanaka Ginza.

It is leaving. Please be aware of the closing doors.

Good evening.

Oh, good evening.

I figured you didn't know how to commute on a train.

- What? - You seem to be free.

I used to work for a company, an auditing company.

I was called in by my former work to assist them.

Platforms are scary.

I feel like I'm going to jump in.

Have you ever almost jumped in?

It never happened to me,

but the business owners that I audited mentioned it.

They are scared so they cling on to the poles.

Can I ask you something? Well...

I've never thought of jumping in.

That's right.

I was just wondering why I asked you.

I don't remember anything about me talking to you

at 5Tap's anniversary party.

You're not my type...

Well, thank you.

I thought you were creepy.

Thank you very much.

Did I really ask you?

I won't lie about something like that.

Right.

So you don't remember what happened recently?

You asked me in front of your office to stop by.

You said something lame like a love might start here.

Maybe there's love that starts here.

I do remember that.

That time was because you were saying you wanted to be in love.

I thought you were asking me.

I just want to fall in love now.

I wasn't asking you.

You were quite abrupt at the anniversary party as well.

Akira, here you go.

- Thank you very much. - Here you go.

Welcome.

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Nine tailed cats!

Two bottles!

Saito opened up a vintage beer and the whole place was excited!

- Ah! - Do you remember now?

Nine tailed cats! I said I was going to drink it. You opened it?

It's your fault for being drunk.

I wanted to drink it too.

What? You couldn't drink it? Not even a sip?

No, I didn't get a chance to drink it.

It's on hold till the next anniversary.

Anniversary.

Then what should I do?

It has nothing to do with you!

Shuri! You put what my mum sent in an auction.

Why would you do such a thing?

Amazing. How did you know I put it in an auction?

Where is it? Give it to me now.

It sold immediately so I sent it already.

Are you for real? You know!

Watch where you stand!

My foot?

What?

What is this?

We'll have to find a property that allows pets if we move.

Oh? Is it something serious?

What are you going to tell Chiharu?

The vinegar is now a bunny?

Chiharu is taking care of your father every day, right?

Us getting married is what she looks forward to right now.

I can't tell her.

Like I said, his former girlfriend is at her boyfriend's place.

What? Is that okay to tell us?

What? She didn't tell me not to.

It's almost four years.

- Four years? - Yes.

Unless a huge accident happens, it's probably going to continue.

Maybe it happened already, the accident.

Chiharu believes that you are living alone, Kyoya.

I'll have to lie to Chiharu too.

How long are we going to continue with this?

Do you want to break up?

That's not fair to ask it like that.

I'm sorry.

Hi! Kureha is here!

Oh no, that idiot.

Oh no! Stop her!

Basically, it's about what you want to do.

- You too. - What?

- Kureha. - What you're doing now

is the same thing as a married man telling his mistress

that he will divorce his wife, without meaning it.

- Kureha. - I'm not cheating on her.

We're not married and it's not an affair.

It's pretty much the same since he's sleeping with two women!

- I'm not sleeping with her! - He's not doing it.

What? You are sexless?

We are doing it.

So you are.

That's not it. I haven't touched the other one these four years,

she's just a roommate right now.

Then why are you living with someone you don't even touch?

- That's... - It's Kyoya's responsibility.

Responsibility? He's not responsible!

Kureha!

As a result, you're right...

but it started with him helping her out with her struggles at work,

and so he let her move in with him.

There's an explanation for this.

I had another boyfriend at the time.

Then we decided to break up so that we could date.

He spoke to her and broke up with her.

But she...

asked for some time until she got a job.

She said she will break up, but wanted time until then.

That's why Kyoya couldn't just kick her out.

Well, she has no savings, she has no job.

Can you kick her out just because you like someone else?

You can't. It's great that some people can do that.

You live freely.

But there are people who can't. I'm like that. Kyoya too.

We both know that our situation is not right.

We know.

You dummy.

Sorry you had to stand up for me.

It wasn't for Kyoya.

I have to think that you're not at fault.

Otherwise, I'll realise...

that I'm being neglected by Kyoya.

I'll think...

that I'm not really loved.

I don't want to acknowledge it, I don't want to be miserable,

so I had to defend you.

I love you.

I care about you, Akira.

I want you to go home today.

I'm sorry for all the trouble. I'm leaving now.

Come again soon.

Can you take her home?

What?

It's my fault, so you follow up.

Why should I?

Just do it, please.

You are so selfish.

She walks fast.

Kureha feels bad about it.

I'll tell you that she's sorry.

What's up with everybody?

Don't think apologising will make everything fine!

I'm sorry. I just wanted to say that.

Kureha is right. We are the ones who are wrong.

Well, there is no perfect financial statement.

Financial statements describe the business's financial status.

That's obvious.

Every financial statement will have some sort of a flaw...

if it's an unqualified opinion－

An unqualified opinion is an audit term,

but if it's a small flaw that won't change the investor's mind,

in other words, small flaws will be considered fine.

So...

in your case,

the fact that he's been living with his ex for the past four years...

I don't think that's small at all.

Right. Then the next case...

would be a qualified opinion.

Qualified?

Parts of it are wrong but overall, it's fine.

So even if Kyoya lived with another woman,

if there's nothing else, it's fine?

You'll decide for yourself if that's fine with you or not.

No matter what the other says, if you two are fine, then it's fine.

It's not fine.

It's not fine at all! No matter how I look at it, it's not fine!

Right.

What?

I'll walk you home.

No thanks. I can go home.

It's Kureha's orders.

Please thank Kureha.

Yes. Ah! I remember now.

That day when I asked you over.

Do you want to hear it?

Sure.

I have an older brother...

he was excellent ever since he was a child. My parents' pride and joy.

I was always instructed by my older brother,

I was always helped by him.

There was this one time I had an opportunity to help him.

Then because of it, I slipped a little.

- But instead of being grateful－ - I never asked you to help me.

Then what was I supposed to do?

It had nothing to do with you.

It's our father's company.

I managed alone all this time.

If only that didn't happen...

He resented me, and then he disappeared.

That was the day I was getting drunk at 5Tap and saw you, Akira.

Two bottles!

- Akira, could you help me? - Sure.

Here.

It's delicious.

- That's nice. - It's delicious.

She's like my older brother.

She's always popular and all smiles.

Isn't it delicious?

- It's super delicious. - It's very rich!

Right?

Please continue to come.

Then I thought I hated you from the bottom of my heart.

What?

I always hated my older brother ever since I was a child.

It's not even love behind it all,

I really hated him the most on this planet.

When I heard his business was about to collapse,

I wondered what that honour student would do if I helped him.

I just wanted to see that.

I'm an idiot. I ruined my life over that.

Can I go back a bit?

Okay.

So you asked me since I was like the person you hated the most?

I guess that's what it is.

I think you're too twisted.

Right.

I guess I wanted to hurt your feelings.

You really are the worst.

Well, nothing happened.

That's because I rejected you, so nothing happened.

That's true.

Akira, your judgement in men is good.

Why are you looking so pathetic?

It's your own fault.

My own fault.

Is it?

What?

What was I supposed to do? Kick Shuri out? Break up with Akira?

I constantly regret having let Shuri move in.

But there's no time machine.

There is no Doraemon genie who can turn back time.

You are so annoying.

I'm annoyed too.

Why would she think she's not loved?

Hey.

What?

What?

It's fine.

It's not fine. It's not fine!

It leaves a bad impression.

This is fine.

Are you sure?

See you!

I'll say it now...

but I don't dislike you right now.

I don't really care. We are just customers.

I'll see you at 5Tap then.

See you at 5Tap.

Kureha and Kyoya had sex?

- Kureha is not that wild. - Really?

Your shirt and tie are the same as yesterday's.

It would be so simple if I could be stupid.

Shall we be stupid?

I feel refreshed!
