Morning.

Morning.

Do you have any coffee?

I'm out of it.

Maybe coffee will wake me up.

Yes...

Wait!

"Apartments and condo"

What kind of place are you looking for?

Well...

Bigger than 1DK, bath and a toilet has to be separate, kitchen has gas,

the building is less than five years old,

made of reinforced concrete,

and a corner room that's on the third floor or above.

The view has to be great. It gets lots of sun...

Excuse me, miss, you have a lot of requirements.

It's because you asked me what I was looking for.

Then...

what do you absolutely need?

That's it's comfortable to live there.

You won't know unless you live there.

True.

Is your renewal date at the end of this month?

Yes.

If I'm moving, I need to move out of there by next month.

I see.

How about you, Kosei?

Fraudulent documents...

it's due at the end of the month, right?

Did you already sign off on it?

Well, I'll have to prepare a report by the end of the month...

sign it, seal it and submit it.

You can't do anything about it?

No.

A wicked deed that was started must be continued.

You can't drink a coffee with someone who is doing wicked deeds.

You are saying that now? We're here.

Let's go.

No. No. No.

Hey.

Hey, you got some... You got jam on your face.

- Here? - Higher.

It's strange since I always see you in the evening.

- We went for that bell. - You're right.

We didn't hear it though.

- The view was really nice there. - Yes.

A sunset and that song, "Yuyake Koyake".

If you are fine with it, I think it's fine.

What?

It's not a wicked deed that hurts anybody,

and I'm not a tax agency.

There is no reason for me to be upset with you.

I think it's fine, if you are fine with it.

- How about you, Akira? - What?

You are not scared of the train station platform?

No, I'm not.

If I get scared again, can I say that?

Yes.

You tell me too. I'll listen.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.

Starting today, Shiratori will take care of you.

- Shinkai! - We got a contract!

- Our very first... - Cooperative work!

It's not a wedding! It's the result of our sales efforts.

Congratulations and good work.

It's all thanks to your advice, Shinkai.

Not at all. It's because you two worked hard.

Right?

Congratulations.

It's that article that Kaiji Tachibana is secretly married?

It's some model named...

I'm so shocked that Tacchin liked good-looking women.

Maybe he chose her because of who she is instead of her looks.

You think?

- It's tasty. - She adjusted quite quickly.

Please continue to train her.

How is it? How is it?

It's tasty.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

CEO, could we take turns cleaning, taking out the trash,

making the coffee and its clean up?

I'll explain it to each department leaders.

It's not necessary.

That'll be all done by a secretary.

A secretary?

I'm appointing you, Akira Shinkai, as the sales manager.

A manager?

You're the sales department's special chief creator manager!

It's longer now.

A special chief creator manager?

- Yes. - Congratulations?

Congratulations.

What do you think it is?

- Isn't it his usual idea? - It might be my fault.

- What? - The other day,

I said I wouldn't quit if my pay was doubled.

Knowing him, he probably thinks making you a sales manager

will bring in more business and increase our performance.

Then he could increase the SE's and my pay,

and keep us from leaving.

Will it work that well?

His expectation for you is high, Shinkai.

But who's going to be his secretary?

Newbie Nagato! Where are you, Nagato?

Yes?

I'll appoint you as my secretary!

A secretary?

Congratulations!

That's amazing.

Everyone! Applaud!

"Financial Report"

"Financial statement"

Kosei!

It's a disaster!

What is it?

It's a disaster!

It's a disaster!

- It's a disaster! - Tell me what it actually is.

Kosei, you are in a magazine.

See?

"The two disappeared to the man's home after this"

What is this?

"Kaiji Tachibana's wife, the model, Kureha's wild life!"

- This is so annoying. - That's what I want to say.

- Oh, it's you, Kosei. - My eyes are covered up.

I was there too.

The two disappeared to the man's home after that.

A definite indecency again?

Of course! This is not true.

I think my former office is behind this.

The modelling agency that sued you?

Right. This was published when Kaiji's company broke the tie-up.

They are so nasty.

Is Kaiji okay? He won't take this the wrong way?

He's fine.

He said "Kurechin, do whatever, no matter what anyone says."

Kurechin?

- Welcome. - Outside is a mess!

Outside?

My oasis is...

What are they fussing over?

I think it's because of this.

The model Kureha was also in a relationship

with the super popular band VB's vocalist, Yama.

It's full of lies!

That one, I did. It was about six months ago.

You did it?

He was a fun guy and we were like, "Shall we?", "We shall!" and "Okay!"

Don't say that out there.

Why not? It was before I got married.

The public won't see it that way.

That is so annoying.

Oh, no. My neighbours are going to complain about this.

The public is a mess!

Everyone, stay here.

Excuse me.

Kureha is here. This is a nuisance, so please go.

What is your relationship with VB's Yama?

Is my relationship to him any of your concern?

So does that mean you were in a relationship with him?

So it was an affair? What did Kaiji Tachibana say about it?

You know, does it really matter who is doing what?

You do have sex too, right? You are a human being too.

- Oh, she said it. - Oh, no.

- Saburo. - Yes?

Go and collect Kureha.

- Yes! Okay! - Peacefully, please.

How does it affect things?

Could we get more details about that?

That pervert!

"Kenji Tsukumo"

It's Sunday.

Akira?

Akira? Are you here?

You! You're that!

What? Wait!

I'm at your condo right now.

There's a woman here who's locked herself in a room. What's going on?

Good day.

Isn't that that girl, that you used to date?

Why did you come without telling me?

I just thought about it.

I'm sorry.

My pillow. My pillow. My pillow. My pillow.

I'm at work right now. I'll be at the condo tonight.

I'll explain when I get home, so just wait there.

What?

I can't wait!

What is going on?

And why did you come to my place?

I couldn't think of anywhere else to go.

This place is closer to work. I'm coming in!

What did Chiharu say?

I don't know. She was fussing.

Actually, just now...

Akira!

- It's Chiharu! - Why?

She called and I told her that I'm home.

Why would you do that?

I didn't know she went to your place.

Akira!

- Coming! - No! I don't want to see her.

Then go up there. Hurry! Hurry!

It's open.

Hello.

What?

Why?

What is going on?

- Hello. - Hello.

What?

This is Tacchin.

There he is!

Wait! Excuse me. Could we ask you a couple of questions?

No. No. Don't take my picture.

You know Kureha Tachibana, right?

Just a word!

This is so annoying.

They stop every single customer out there.

I might close the bar for a while.

I need to prepare for the bar's anniversary too.

Oh, it's already that time of the year?

I'll open that Nine Tailed Cats this year again.

Leave some for me for sure this year.

Don't get drunk this year.

- By the way... - Yes?

What is that?

That's a meeting.

That's all that happened.

Maybe I raised him wrong.

- That's not true. - But I did!

He let Shuri live with him, and didn't decide for four years?

But I couldn't tell him how I felt, and I didn't make up my mind.

That's right! You are too slow! Time passes by so quickly!

I'm already 57!

If I don't pay attention,

I'll be an old lady before I know it!

If you think of something, move right away!

- Yes, I'm sorry. - You too!

What are you doing drinking beer as if this doesn't concern you?

It's been since I met you at the hospital.

When Katsumi got ill,

Kyoya brought her to the hospital with him.

I apologise for not formally introducing myself.

When I look back now, I was going through so much,

I might have been tough on you. I'm sorry.

In any case...

it's Kyoya!

I...

Kyo...

If Kyoya wasn't around...

I might have died.

But I might have depended on him too much, and we broke up.

So...

please don't say that you raised him wrong.

Then...

the fact that he helped me and the fact that I'm alive

will be a mistake too.

So...

I'm glad you are alive, Shuri.

Really.

I'm glad you are alive.

You are alive,

and the three of us...

are drinking a beer right now.

Why are you crying?

I'm going to start crying.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Welcome.

The three of them should be here right－

Right?

You are laughing.

Kyoya!

We three are drinking right now, so you wait over there!

- What? - Please.

- Please, this way. - What?

Thank you.

This is Swine Brewery's amber ale.

Takuramakan!

Yes? Enjoy. Yes?

What is it?

They seem to be having fun.

I don't know what is going on.

What do women think?

Do you get them?

I have no clue.

I heard that you and Akira are just drinking buddies.

Yes.

But even then...

Never mind.

I see what this is.

That...

Akira and I haven't done it.

I was irritated then, so I just lied.

- A lie? - A lie.

- Just? - Just.

What? Could you say "just" to that?

Well, you punched me, though.

I did punch you...

Then...

we're even.

Even...?

I brought it on to myself.

I didn't check it either.

I was irritated that Akira cheated on me despite my own actions.

Then I thought it was love to forgive her.

The problem...

is not what yours and Akira's relationship is...

but the issue is that Akira and I didn't face one another.

It's too late now.

Maybe it's not too late.

Why not face each other now?

Are you really just drinking buddies with Akira?

Yes.

I don't believe in a friendship between a man and a woman.

Me neither.

But if you could be together as people despite our sex,

that'd be priceless.

It's too precious to lose it.

Is that about Akira?

It sounded like she is very important to you.

What? Really?

I had so much fun!

Let's go out drinking again if it's okay with you, Akira.

Yes.

I'm taking my mum to a hotel. What are you going to do, Shuri?

- I'm staying at Akira's. - Really?

- We'll be talking trash about you. - Stop that!

I'm working hard right now.

Yes. Do your best.

I will. You don't have to say it.

What?

Good night.

Kosei, see you later.

Yes, see you.

You seemed cosy with that moustache.

- Moustache? - I don't like him.

He's sarcastic. It's easy to be with him.

I can talk to him about anything and I don't have to try hard.

You don't like him that way?

You know, like love.

That's boring.

I am so sorry.

I wonder if there's a good guy out there.

You know, a guy that's attractive, gentle,

who just loves you, accepts for who you are

and is financially sound.

I don't think there are any convenient guys like that.

I guess not.

How do I do it without losing myself,

without using your partner?

Isn't love all about losing yourself?

In that case, I don't need love.

Cling on to others, act so that I won't be disliked,

lose myself and not understand my partner...

I don't like that.

I don't want to do that again.

Then...

are you going to live by yourself for the rest of your life?

Are you really alone?

For example, right now there's the two of us, you and me.

Then the three of us were drinking beer together earlier.

She's not my mum, but someone who's like a mum.

I promised to go out to drink with her again.

I was happy about work with my co-workers,

and the 1,000 hugs with a woman.

The other night, I played games at my drinking buddy's place,

and had a coffee in the morning.

If I treasure those individual moments...

I think I can live.

I'd think...

I'm not alone then.

Am I too naive?

No.

It's possible.

- I'm turning the light off. - Yes.

Even then...

I still want to be loved.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, no! Shuri! Shuri!

Wake up! It's morning! Hey!

- Hey! Wake up! Are you up? Okay! - Yes, I'm up.

Hey!

We just made it.

I can't believe we still made it in time.

Your home is so convenient.

Shinkai, we have a problem.

- The CEO is... - CEO?

Oh, CEO had sent me messages.

It was the weekend, so I ignored it and turned off notifications.

Wow, I got like 10 messages.

What are you doing coming in so casually to work?

You didn't read the messages, nor did you respond,

and you are late.

I just made it on time.

If you have time to talk back to me,

complete all the tasks perfectly right this moment!

I got it. Right away.

I'm talking to Nagato!

- I'll do it. - Right here.

Make it quick.

Excuse me.

Sir, Nagato is still adjusting here,

could you take it a bit slower till she gets used to it?

In that case, why don't you help her so she adjusts fast?

Here. Here's the quota for sales this week. Get an appointment.

I need to call on 10 companies and train your secretary too?

Sales is priority. Training the secretary is a goal.

Use your own brain! There!

Ten companies?

I'll take half of it.

Matsutoya, you take three and Ueno will take two.

I have three companies?

- You have seniority. - Yes.

Which one?

First come first serve.

- Shinkai, can I ask you something? - Yes.

- What is it? - What does this mean?

Nagato, where are the references?

Hotel rooms have to be non-smoking,

and something bigger than with a twin bed.

Hotel chains with thin walls won't work...

but he'll complain that it's costly when it's more than 20,000 yen.

For e-mails, always carbon copy the CEO's e-mail address.

He checks for everything,

and if there are any errors, you'll be in trouble,

so pay attention...

There's no need to do it perfectly.

It'll be fine. I'll help you. You just need to get used to it.

Shall we ask the CEO to give you a job other than a secretary?

I'll do it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Look into this. - Yes. Excuse me.

- Nagato! - Yes.

Where are the references I asked you about?

Hurry. Here, hurry.

What is this? This is just typed out and it's not summarised!

Yes, I didn't have time.

Fine. Go down stairs and get a taxi.

- Ueno, we're going! - Yes.

Hey, you have to entertain the customers tonight?

- Yes. - Please help Nagato out.

- I don't know if I can do it. - Please!

I'll do my best.

I have a bad feeling.

Welcome home.

How did it go?

Shuri?

- Can you send the quote? - Yes.

When the dinner was over and once the customers left...

What are you doing?

That didn't sound like him at all.

What did Nagato do?

In my point of view, she did fine.

She got the elevator for them, and got a taxi too.

Then why?

If it was Shinkai, she would have given them a gift.

If it was Shinkai, she would have served them right.

That's a problem. We can't be like Shinkai.

What are you all doing there?

Don't you have to go make sales calls?

- We are off! - We are off!

I'm off too.

Excuse me. CEO wants the quote for Hotaru foods.

A rough estimate or detailed?

I will go check with him.

- CEO－ - Nagato!

We are meeting with Ikkaku Shoji tonight.

Go get Kintsuba from Ginza Mankindo for the CEO.

Also, Amakusa Pharmaceuticals requested October's sales.

Matsutoya is not here right now, so you e-mail them instead.

No errors of any kind, okay?

Also, cc my e-mail as well.

CC.

- Hey, Nagato! E-mail! - I'm doing it right now.

You haven't sent Ikkaku Shoji where we're meeting tonight?

You are doing this today? Do you have this? Asakusa's hot pot?

Yes, I've made reservations.

Then send it right away. Right now, hurry up!

Yes.

"Amakusa Pharmaceuticals October sales"

"Ikakku Shoji Dear Kosugi"

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Sakuma.

Where is Nagato?

She is out buying Kintsuba.

And before that, she was panicking listening to all of CEO's orders.

I was hoping she was more capable, but she's slow.

Everyone will be like that according to you.

Not everybody can do what you do at the rate you do it.

She's still new too.

What? You told me to hire a secretary, so I hired one!

Aren't you getting a bit carried away lately?

Excuse me, Amakusa Pharmaceuticals is on the phone for you, sir.

Excuse me.

Hello, this is Tsukumo.

Yes, about the October sales?

We've sent it just now.

The content?

The content is wrong? The hot pot?

Oh, no!

I'm sorry, I'm going to look into this

and call you back. Thank you.

Oh, no.

The information for the business dinner for Ikkaku Shoji

was sent to Amakusa Pharmaceuticals.

Then I'll send it again.

And the sales report that was for Amakusa Pharmaceuticals

was e-mailed to Ikkaku Shoji.

Our secret data were leaked.

The sales data went to another company.

What did you do, Ueno?

It's Nagato. She got the e-mail address mixed up.

Why would that happen?

She probably got really confused

while she was writing these e-mails since CEO was rushing her.

Shinkai, go to Ikkaku Shoji and ask them to delete the data,

and to make sure that they won't say anything about this.

Also apologise for the business dinner arrangements.

Matsutoya and Ueno, we're going to Amakusa Pharmaceuticals!

- What? - Me too?

We'll be in trouble if they stop their business with us! Hurry!

Please leave a message after the tone.

This is Shinkai. If you hear this message, call me back.

"Kintsuba Ginza Mankindo"

Wait! You dropped this!

Hey! Wait. Here.

Oh, a rabbit!

That's the smell of grass.

I'm not a pervert.

I'm a normal person.

I work over at a ramen shop there. My name is Saburo.

I have friendships with Kosei and Akira.

- I couldn't work. - What?

I couldn't work.

We should ask the person in charge about this.

Yes.

This is Nozawa of the audit company.

We want to ask about the new acquisition of the fixed assets,

is Okuma there?

Yes.

The finance manager will come instead.

I see.

Okuma resigned today.

I don't know what to say about all your troubles.

It's about that strange note that you found.

The note that said someone in finance

is embezzling three million?

Yes.

That was written by Okuma.

It's not true at all.

It was just a misunderstanding.

Excuse me.

I wonder if it really was a misunderstanding.

Who knows?

We auditors...

can't get involved in there.

So they see it as more expedient to keep the company's reputation

by not looking into the embezzlement...

and to shut up the one who blew the whistle.

Okuma lost.

Why do I have to hide out here?

Kaiji told me I could do whatever.

Kaiji Tachibana's fans are all internet users.

If there are so many bad reviews on the net,

then I can't just leave it.

A hag, a wench.

I prefer the word "aggressive".

Kaiji went to explain to the stockholders and sponsors.

It's not just about you now that you are married.

Please be more cautious.

I didn't get married to be cautious.

I got married because I wanted to be with him at all times.

Please stay here.

At the company, I'm treated as the crazy person.

I'll go back home with the full retirement money.

The finance manager is not blamed for anything.

He's a director's nephew.

That makes sense.

This is something I copied down over the years.

It's the record of the fictitious transactions.

I was dreaming of using this one day,

but it ended before it could be used.

If I don't get the retirement money, then I can't live.

I got scared.

I couldn't fight.

That's normal.

That's how we all are.

Let's forget about it.

"We'll be closed for a while no media"

"Order Toner"

"I'm sorry"

This was in my room.

I couldn't do anything.

It's hard to take care of yourself. It's even harder for the others.

To do something for others is just to satisfy your own ego.

You felt like you did something good by helping Shuri.

That's why you get used.

Then how do they all live?

Is it bad to help the others?

Don't you need others to live?

You share little of what you want to do...

and then...

You can't do anything.

Yes, I have the documents prepared. I just have to submit them.

Yes.

Good day.

"Shuri Nagato"

You will be connected to a voicemail－

Nagato didn't even last two weeks.

It can't be helped with that CEO.

Even if you have to change it a little bit, right?

If nothing changes, then it would be boring.

Go for it.

"Earn some money! Be needed"

But you know what?

People these days are no good. They just started and already quit!

Right?

Would you make that kind of a mistake?

Right, you usually wouldn't.

Even the slow Ueno doesn't do that.

What?

If you checked it thoroughly, it wouldn't have happened!

She didn't have the will to try!

First of all, work...

The will?

If you have the will, you won't make an error and can do anything.

Is the will that great?

It's work.

We need to earn some money to live, so we work.

We want to be recognised and we don't want to be useless.

We'll do everything we can.

I'll deal with taking out the trash, errands and the morning coffees.

I'll deal with your ridiculous demands,

I'll work in an environment where we blank out

and make simple mistakes because we're being yelled at all the time.

It's scary to go against you, CEO. It's too much work.

We just let it go...

and everyone thinks it's ridiculous, but we all listen,

and talk about it behind your back.

Nobody helps, even if someone is being yelled at in front of you.

Is this peace?

You are the one making them that way, CEO.

You are the one who made her make that unusual mistake.

How do you expect people to work at a company like this?

Then why don't you quit?

Quit already. Quit right now.

I don't need an employee who only complains.

This is my company.

Even if you aren't here, I will still manage.

It was the same when the sales manager quit.

I'll manage.

Everyone knows that, so that's why they don't say anything.

Right?

That's it.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry I was...

out of line.

Excuse me.

I can't do it anymore.

Please ask somewhere else.

It isn't easy to find someone who'll sign off with just three million.

We need you to do it, Mr. Nemoto.

I threw away the financial statements.

Then prepare it again.

I'll report your fraud.

It doesn't hurt us one bit even if this subsidiary goes under.

Some company other than ours will disappear.

You will lose everything

as the tax accountant who helped with the fraud.

Please...

forgive me.

Did you try to do something?

Yes...

I did.

But it didn't work.

What's wrong?

Did something happen to you too, Akira?

I complained out loud...

at work for the first time.

You dropped the bomb?

I tried to drop it, but it got dropped on me instead.

I wasn't indispensable.

Even if I'm not there...

they'll manage.

Are you crying?

I'm not crying.

Did I make a mistake?
