Original subtitles

Be well, really.

It's over.

"Love and appreciation to all our users, by Kaiji Tachibana"

What are you doing

out in the open? It's definite indecency.

You mean public indecency.

Kureha and I are shocked!

Behave!

What kind of...

get together is this?

I don't think it matters. I'm thirsty.

Takuramakan, please!

Oh, you know the apple hop I mentioned before?

It's here. It's sweet and easy to drink－

Takuramakan.

Can I have the most bitter beer you've got?

I want the beer for adults with bitterness and some odd taste.

- I'll have the Fukko Ale. - Okay.

- Can I have it on tap? - Sure.

I'll have that sweet and easy to drink one.

Coming up!

Boy, she's cute.

You were supposed to come by the office.

This is it.

This is Kaiji's company information. Please consider it.

Oh, the one he wants to go public?

You knew that?

Well, yes.

I didn't say I was going to do it.

Well, please consider it all together.

This is kind of nice,

to drink with totally unrelated people in work or one's hometown.

I'm from Saga.

Yobuko's squid!

I want to eat that. That's the translucent one, right?

Oh I love it, I love it!

Well, the squid is really fresh,

and it's translucent and it's really nice!

How about you, Akira? Are you from Tokyo?

I'm from Kisarazu.

Umihotaru's clam buns! I want to eat it every time I go there.

I haven't been back there for a long time.

So? Where are you from, Kosei?

Me?

You were in Fukushima till high school, right?

I've never been to Fukushima.

Two North Shinshu's apple hop beer!

Hey! Takaramakan! I wanted a beer for adults!

You two, wait a little, okay?

Come on! Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

This is delicious! What is this?

It's delicious!

It's good.

I have a party to go to today, do you all want to come?

What? Is it a party full of celebrities?

Well, not so much, since it's the gaming industry.

It's related to my husband's online game.

There's an announcement at midnight, so it's for that.

Then Kureha's husband is going to be there too?

Then how are you going to introduce Kosei to him?

A very good friend.

What? You two are friends?

Aren't we?

I don't think that's wrong.

So now you two broke up and are friends,

and now you are dating Akira?

We are not dating.

But you two were smooching passionately outside just now.

Smooch? I like that sound!

And you spent the night at Kosei's,

and were in bed together.

In bed!

I don't know what you heard－

We were in bed.

Well, yes.

See! I told you!

It's definite indecency!

You mean public indecency.

I think it's fine. They are both adults.

Here you go. It's Fukko Ale and tap one, Shonan Shuzo Pilsner.

People are free to do whatever as long as they both agree.

Right? Takuramakan!

Right, craft beers are made by traditional methods,

but the maker can add in their own flavour.

In other words, it's a free beer.

No, we are not talking about a beer.

When I'm caught in an awkward talk, then I'll talk beer.

Wow, you are so mature!

- Shall we go then? - We just got here.

My thirst is quenched.

I finished it off!

I already have a plan－

What? A plan?

With Akira.

What? Then why don't you both come?

I don't think so.

Darn, I wanted to introduce Kaiji to you.

Some other time.

What? Is it fine for me to go by myself?

Anybody can come. They won't know.

Yeah!

This is Saburo's and mine.

- Really? - Thank you.

- Thank you. - See you!

Kosei, I'm off! Akira, I'm off!

Thank you.

- See you later! - Come again soon!

- Bye! - Have fun!

A plan?

Akira?

Kosei, you are...

What?

Say it! It's creepy.

Kosei, you really like Kureha, immensely.

- What? - What?

What? Do you need to think about it?

Isn't it better for you to ask her why she got married so suddenly?

You haven't sorted out your feelings for Kureha yet, right?

Everyone is gone now.

Shall we continue where we left off?

You'll fall asleep during it.

No, I don't always fall asleep.

Sure.

Wait, I don't quite agree with you thinking I fall asleep all the time.

Sure.

I apologise for earlier...

that I kissed you.

Kyoya was watching then.

What?

I was scared to see Kyoya,

so I conveniently used Kosei for my benefit.

I'm sorry.

That's so low.

Yes.

If you didn't say it, it would have been a great fantasy...

for me.

What are you going to do about Kyoya?

What should I do?

Are you going to help his company go public?

What should I do?

"TOUCH Around Go"

You are late.

What? It's the same as usual.

Thank you!

Wait! Do you want coffee?

What?

A coffee.

You'll serve me a cup?

- Sit down. - Thank you!

How was it?

I like it with lots of milk and sugar.

How was the weekend?

What do you mean?

You went with Kureha.

Oh, the party!

I really stood out!

There was a group with all black or really flashy clothes,

and a group with plaid shirts and pullovers,

talking about magical incantations and stuff.

The groups were completely separated and I couldn't follow either one.

What was he like?

Kaiji Tachibana.

Oh, he was really nice.

Nice?

Well, I was all alone, so he spoke to me about ramen.

How old is he?

Not sure.

How does he look?

How should I explain it?

How about a bell? Did he seem like a bell ringing type of guy?

A bell?

A bell...

Well, he said he liked home-style Ramen.

I don't need any ramen talk.

But when I went to the restroom, I heard a strange conversation.

Two guys with flashy clothes came in,

and said that Kaiji Tachibana and Kureha's marriage is fake.

What?

"To Kyoya Hanai"

"To Kyoya Hanai"

"To Kyoya Hanai"

"To Kyoya Hanai, from Akira Shinkai"

Bunkyo District.

Excuse me.

Sakuma, Miyako Tokusan's contract is done now,

so please take over.

It's Ueno's account, so please contact him from now on.

That contract is a long one, right?

Yes, after releasing, we have an annual contract for maintenance.

I think Midorikawa should take it instead of me.

Huh?

This has complicated architectural construction,

so you said you would take care of it.

What? I said that?

You did.

Oh man!

It's not "Oh man!"

Excuse me.

Can I start placing the security cameras from this room?

Security cameras?

It's for security.

What's wrong with it?

You think the employees are going to steal something?

It is done.

I see. Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't, but just in case!

It picks up speech as well,

it's like we are being watched.

Even if that's the case, is there a problem?

There's no time to be comfortable!

Dismissed! Get to work already!

What?

Sakuma, this is no joke!

The CEO was listening to our conversation from the other day!

The other day?

I was sitting here telling you how I just want to be comfortable here

and how you were looking for another job－

- Hey! Don't! - What?

- Is that true? - What?

Is that true?

Shinkai.

- Hello. - Oh!

I'm Kakei from Kashimura Estates.

Nice seeing you again, Shinkai.

Hello.

Today...

Welcome! Thank you for coming.

Shinkai, that's your account.

What is it now?

We are going to build an EC site for a project.

Hashizume, our manager would like Tsukumo Create Japan to do it.

Well, I can't refuse Hashizume's requests.

He said you'd be perfect since you are familiar with our company.

They have trust in you.

He couldn't come today but it's Hanai's project as well.

Hanai?

It's Shinkai's－

He helped me a lot when I worked for Kashimura Estates.

Is that so? Then you will have to return the favour.

So Hashizume

would like to organise a gathering before the project starts.

We will go anywhere

- with our dimwit sales people. - What?

This one especially has that sheer feel here...

- Hello. - Welcome. Kureha is...

I know. Can I ask you something?

You are tall.

Yes?

We were talking about a men's line, could we do a fitting on you?

Let's leave that for now,

did you go to Kaiji Tachibana's party...

this weekend?

Yes.

My friend heard a bad rumour there.

Is it...

about their fake marriage?

Right now, I've been asked to help Mr. Tachibana's company go public.

If there are rumours like that,

we need to take care of it. Reputation is at stake.

What is this fake marriage about?

Oh, I'm also Kureha's tax accountant as well,

so I need to know.

I won't tell Kureha and you won't be in trouble. Tell me everything?

Kureha was sued by her former agency...

for the poster for the fall and the winter clothes.

She's still living alone?

Thank you very much.

"Craft beer, commercial delivery"

Did someone call the house phone?

From who?

From a bar called 5Tap.

Welcome. Please sit wherever you like.

An Oasis for the Tokyo desert, I'm Takuramakan Saito.

When you know what beer you would like, let me know.

Yes.

Does that mean...

a problem with Kureha's former modelling agency?

Saito, you have connections in that industry?

Well, it's when I was in a theatre group. I may know someone.

Can you look into that agency?

That agency is connected to her husband's gaming company?

That husband seems fishy too.

His name is Kaiji Tachibana.

Kaiji Tachibana?

His face, age or place of birth is kept private. He's a gamer.

A gamer? I know! It's like Master Takahashi.

Who is that?

You don't remember? Nintendo Expert? Fast trigger finger of 16 shots?

Is Kaiji Tachibana an expert in something too?

Excuse me.

Gamer is a person who plays games.

Kaiji Tachibana is not a gamer, but a game creator.

He makes it. He developed the Puteron Online game.

Good day.

Good day.

Kakei!

- Good day. - Good day.

You went to Tsukumo Create today, right?

Yes, Friday is the gathering. Make sure you are available.

A gathering?

Their CEO, their sales team and our manager, and us two.

Did Shinkai mention anything?

Did you tell her that I'm on this project too?

Yes, but she didn't say much.

Are you two still fighting?

Well, a fight...

You are still going to work?

Well, I need to get promoted and increase my pay.

You are so constructive.

I'm all beat up.

- I'm leaving. Good job. - Good day.

- Good bye. - Good bye.

Hey Kakei, do you have a girlfriend?

Girlfriend, phooey.

Women cheat so easily.

What kind of women did you date?

You are so lucky Hanai, it's stable even when you fight.

She built her love history just with you,

your devoted girlfriend, Shinkai.

Good day.

Bye.

Bye.

Good day.

So here's the crux of the matter.

Puteron Online is not over.

Tacchin finished it.

- Tacchin? - Chin?

It's a nickname for Kaiji Tachibana among us fans.

My lop ear is called Tacchin too.

Exactly at midnight the other day, I was already asleep,

but a new message appeared on the game screen.

It was the announcement for the new game.

Isn't it hot? I'll show you the screen.

Good evening.

Akira, welcome.

The bathroom is at the left over there.

She surprised me.

A regular customer?

It's her first time.

She works in the bridal industry.

- Can I have number one? - Yes.

Actually, make it what Kureha was drinking the other day.

Oh, apple hop, it's tap three.

Yes please.

Bridal reminds me of...

What? Like you wanted to get married?

No, Kyoya's ex-girlfriend.

The one who is settled in at his place?

She used to work in a bridal industry,

but she quit because she had social issues there.

I met her for the first time the other day.

- You met her? - Yes.

I charged to his place, and met her in person.

It's a turn off, right? I know. Go ahead and be turned off.

I gathered my strength and went, then lost.

That is impossible. She will never leave that place,

Kyoya won't abandon her.

That was a lot for you.

Thank you.

I can't hear them.

Kureha mentioned it!

When she modelled for her own poster, the agency complained.

So she decided to do everything herself.

Even Akira knows?

- Nothing. - Then...

did she get married to Kaiji Tachibana

to avoid the lawsuit by her former agency?

Kaiji Tachibana's company and Kureha's former agency are joined.

If Kureha and Kaiji Tachibana get married...

They will drop the lawsuit?

That possibility is high.

Is it an undesirable marriage for Kureha?

Maybe.

But the bell rang, right?

The bell Kureha hears the moment she falls in love.

She said it rang with Kaiji Tachibana.

Maybe it wasn't the bell that was ringing.

Bell?

Are you saying money?

Marriage rather than paying for damages,

she heard the money.

Kureha would do it.

Even so...

why didn't she talk to you about it?

What kind of relationship did you and Kureha have?

Well, we don't bind each other,

we don't make plans. We're mutually spontaneous.

A very convenient...

relationship without any title.

That's what I thought anyway.

Maybe only you thought of it that way.

The one who's conveniently using the other doesn't see it,

that they are stepping all over the other person.

In the end,

Kureha ended up in an unwanted marriage.

Akira, you are quite direct these days.

When I think about it, there is no need for me to be polite to you.

I only see you at a bar.

You've been calling me "weird", "gross" and "creepy".

First of all, I don't like people with a moustache.

What?

The CEO has moustache, and you have moustache,

it doesn't feel clean.

Saito, you are my oasis, so it's fine.

I wash it.

- I wash it. - Hmm.

- Why are you laughing, Saito? - She's been in there for a while.

Oh.

Are you okay?

Can you hear me?

Are you okay?

Oh, your check!

Hey, this lady ran out fast!

That was a drink and dash.

Drink and dash? Drin－

It's been a while since the last drink and dash.

Did she say anything other than her bridal job?

She's a fan of Kaiji Tachibana.

Lop eared...

rabbit's name is Tacchin.

Lop?

Like so.

A bunny with flappy ears?

She escaped.

Even with your speed?

I almost had her,

but with the ladies, I shouldn't approach them

closer than my arm's length. That's what Kosei told me.

So that's why she escaped?

Touching ladies without their consent is unacceptable!

That teaching is correct. It is correct, but...

You don't have any problems.

Your anaemia is getting better.

Your wound is clean. The prognosis looks good.

- Then I don't have to come anymore? - Yes...

unless you have concerns.

It's been three months so I tried it the other day.

It was just like usual, right?

It was. I was glad that I still had my sex drive.

So the reason why they dropped the suit was...

Kureha Sawa sent her former agency her latest family register.

Then after that, the plaintiff, the agency said to drop the case.

They dropped it since they found out that she was marrying Tachibana?

The lawyer for the agency doesn't know the actual reason either.

How much was the claim for the damages?

Ten million.

Just for using her own picture for her own brand's poster,

it seems a bit too much.

It should be about three million.

I don't know much about the images rights...

The girl I spoke to is just friends with the office worker,

so I don't know the details.

But it seems that Kureha violated the contract for sure.

The contract did include that.

She didn't read them.

It was time to renew the contract,

so Kureha just ran out saying "This is too much, I quit!"

You prepared the paperwork for Kureha's new business, right?

She didn't tell you anything?

No.

Well, but if the suit was dropped, that's good.

She sold herself.

Excuse me.

They are here.

The manager and CEO will have a drink first, then they'll join us.

What's up that?

Nice to meet you, my name is Hanai.

I'm Matsutoya.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- My name is Ueno. - Thank you.

What? Really? Shinkai's boyfriend?

They've been together for four years.

Ueno! He's Shinkai's boyfriend.

- Ueno! - What?

You don't need to tell him.

Don't worry about it, work is completely separate.

Yes, so don't worry about it.

How about you? Kakei? Do you have a girlfriend?

I'm... not available.

When I tell them I'm a developer,

women who like my title flock around me.

Well, I'm just going with the flow of the conversation. You started it.

Yes, don't worry about it.

Well, Matsutoya has a boyfriend.

He's handsome and they are in love. He's also her wallpaper.

That's right. See?

He's your wallpaper?

- What? - Calm down.

Kakei, you had too much to drink?

This is mine.

It's great, right?

How cheerful to be able to see the face of your love.

Ueno, could you put that away?

Is that him?

What? Follower Ueno is acknowledged by your boyfriend?

- Boyfriend? - It's nothing.

We'll talk about that some other time.

You said it too, Hanai,

anyone setting their partner as wallpaper is a turn off.

You're continuing with that topic?

It's just that I wouldn't do it.

I think it's fine if some people set it as their wallpaper.

Everybody has their own preferences and reasons.

There are things you can't tell from afar.

Hanai is great. He sure is your boyfriend, Shinkai!

Then what about that?

You were getting hot about it the other day,

that you don't get how a couple could kiss out in public.

It's the worst. I totally agree.

What situation causes you to kiss on the streets?

There is no reason that you must do it. Do it in private.

What world do you live in? There are women who like that!

Kakei, what happened to you?

Hey, why is that the woman's fault?

What?

It takes two to kiss.

How come it's tasteless when women have affairs,

while men's affairs are considered valorous?

You're right!

- You get it? - I totally do.

Shinkai's boyfriend?

Men want to dream of women.

Don't feed into it.

What about women's dreams?

I get how you feel, but calm down.

Let us see it!

What are you screaming about?

- Shinkai! - Yes!

- What are you doing? - I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be rude to Kashimura－

Tsukumo! Don't talk that way to Shinkai!

You take care of your people!

Yes.

I'm sorry for being late. I'm Hashizume.

I went to the same university as Tsukumo.

Shinkai, what do you think of this Tsukumo?

I had him shave his moustache off just now.

Please let me off. I was trying to grow it out.

You look clean and more masculine!

Hashizume is cool.

Can you only defeat power with power?

- Philosophy? - Manager is divorced twice.

Was that necessary just now?

- I'll handle it－ - No, no.

No, no, what are you saying?

- I'll handle it. - No, no.

- Don't. - Is the CEO always like that?

Today, he was on the quiet side.

That was?

That's no joke.

So...

You were talking about me as trash who kisses in public?

What?

You were watching.

You knew I was there?

You knew and you kissed him?

That's horrible.

You too, with Kureha.

You are paying me back? So you picked that guy?

That guy looks down on you.

You are fine with that kind of a guy?

- Why would you pick him－ - Both

Kyoya and Kosei are the same.

Kyoya, you are a guy who can't kick out your ex-girlfriend.

You are stepping all over my feelings. You are the same.

You're right. You won't know how the other one is feeling.

Akira, you don't know how I feel.

What?

You are not cute right now, Akira.

Hanai, we are going to another place.

You see Shinkai every day, so you come with us.

Then I'll go now. Thank you very much.

Good work.

I'm going to leave too.

It's already late. I have plans.

Good evening.

Where's Kureha?

She's out right now, but she'll be back soon.

Could you try on the men's clothes while you wait?

Um, no.

You are our private tax accountant, so you listen to us.

No.

No, I don't want to.

Please! Try it on!

Oh.

You came?

I was close by for a business dinner.

I thought you might still be here.

Me?

It's your fault, Kureha!

I did something stupid because Kyoya and you did that!

But I didn't do it!

No, we did kiss, but, we didn't even do it.

But it's like we're either even or I'm at fault.

Why? I just don't get it.

There's no one to say it to. In the end, you started everything.

It's not your fault, it's Kyoya's fault for not rejecting you...

But that happened...

because I criticised him.

It's because I said "Go home today."

But that's because Kyoya...

There's no point in saying these things.

What did I come to say?

It's tiring.

You'll be tired.

I haven't forgiven you yet, Kureha.

Yes.

I wanted to hold you, so that's why I'm holding you.

Why did you get married?

You told me a story before...

when you try to run across a street, the car came right at you.

That was the end with Kosei.

Was that...

because you got sued by your former agency,

and you married unwillingly?

Would you get married for that?

What type of clothes is this?

If I'm going to get married for such a boring reason,

I would leave Japan and go abroad.

Then...

Kaiji Tachibana is...

It's a regular marriage.

Did you hear the bells that sound when you fall in love?

Maybe it wasn't quite love.

I had surgery a while back.

A total hysterectomy. I removed it all. I still have my ovaries.

My myoma was growing and we couldn't preserve it.

I had laparoscopic surgery done.

Prognosis is good. There is no hindrance to my daily life.

Here.

I thought I could get anything if I wanted it.

There is something I can't get no matter how much I wish for it.

I couldn't tell Kosei about it.

Kosei would probably say this if I told him about it.

So what if you can't have kids?

That's not a big deal.

But for me, it was a big deal.

My relationship with Kosei...

was a convenient one.

It was convenient for both of us, and we just shared the fun times.

That was fun too...

but if nothing happened, we might be at it still.

But then I had a thought...

If I can't share...

the things that are a big deal to me...

No matter how many times we are together,

the fact I can't talk to him about it is...

it was a bit...

sad.

Were you able to talk to Kaiji about it?

Yes.

Then－

Oh, there you are! Mr. Nemoto is here!

Eight o'clock Azusa II,

I will depart from you.

What is it?

Kureha asked me to check up on you.

She's...

Kureha was regretting it.

She said she's sorry that she didn't talk to you.

But－

I heard.

It just means that I'm not worthy to talk to, right?

But she liked you.

She uses a messenger to say that?

There's nothing I can do.

I'm really annoyed.

You didn't get Kureha at all.

Get her? I don't know anything at all!

She didn't get me either.

Kosei would say this...

Don't decide things based on your imagination.

Then what would you have said, if she told you?

That's not a big deal.

So what if you can't have kids? That's what I'd say.

Just like Kureha imagined.

Right? Kureha... is Kureha!

Are we both to be sad about it? Do I listen to her and comfort her?

I'm not that kind of man.

That was too bad.

Why won't you take that job to help that company go public?

Don't you want to see what Kaiji Tachibana is like?

If you take the job, you'll meet him.

What's the point of meeting him?

If he's not a worthy guy, then you get Kureha back.

Like a beast.

Akira, you really say whatever about other people.

Well, it's not about me.

One thing Kureha didn't get was...

that Kosei likes Kureha a lot more than Kureha thought.

Should I deliver the message?

That's not necessary.

What? Maybe the bell will ring this time.

I will never hear it.

Oh, um...

I was there the other day,

and I got ill,

and I left without paying. I'm sorry about that.

Oh, yes.

If I get a criminal conviction because of that,

then I'll be...

I'm the worst kind of human being.

I'm coming by to pay, but the police－

It's okay. I haven't reported it or anything.

Then I'll come and pay－

Oh, Akira paid for it.

What?

Akira Shinkai. She said "I think I know her, so I'll pay. I'm sorry."

So if you are going to pay－

That kind of thing...

gets on my nerves.

This is Chiharu. I'm leaving you a voicemail.

I sent you a text,

but that vinegar that was stolen?

I got it, so I sent it to your home tonight.

Hello?

I'm Shinkai.

I put other things in it. Please enjoy it for sure this time.

Vinegar again?

I was in New York for six months.

- How about here? - Sure.

Two Pump IPA.

It's 1,400 yen.

I'll pay for it.

What?

Hush money.

Kureha and the other things.

I'll take 10,000 yen.

This? This is bad money.

Here is your change of 8,600 yen.

When are you submitting illegal documents?

I'm being blackmailed.

Be responsible.

Are you okay?

Is it fun to see those who are more unfortunate?

Kyoya wants me to be like you.
