"Earn money! Work hard! Be useful!"

This is Shinkai, Shuri?

That mix-up with the e-mails was resolved without any issues,

so it's fine. Don't worry about it.

For the hours worked, your pay will be deposited by the 10th next month.

Don't worry about that either.

Mr. Nemoto. This is Takanashi.

Did you re-do the paperwork again?

Yes, I made it per your orders.

I want this to be the last time.

You are joking.

"We'll be closed for a while"

Welcome.

You are the first one here!

Hello.

Hello. Everyone is telling me to open already, so this is a secret.

Where's Kosei?

He said he can't come today. Did you two fight?

Well, I forgot to keep my distance.

I'm in the middle of regretting it big time.

Then do you want an IPA today?

IPA, it stands for India Pale Ale, right?

Yes, it originated back when

they shipped beer from England to India,

and they added plenty of hops as preservatives.

Oh.

That's why it's a bitter beer.

The period is during the age of exploration.

Then I'll have that bitter one created in the age of exploration.

Noborioni Brewery's Gin Oni IPA.

Were you busy yesterday?

I don't have that much spare time to come every day.

You were here almost every day.

How about Akira? Did she come?

Yes, she came yesterday and had a glass of IPA and went home.

It's a very bitter beer from the era of great exploration.

I see.

You bought too many souvenirs.

I need to thank Fumi for helping me the last week of your dad's life.

Rinto needs a toy and Takuma needs some winter clothes.

Then the rest is yours.

It's been five years since I shopped in Tokyo.

Well, if you had fun, then that's fine.

Hey! Why not sell your condo?

What?

It's strange to pay mortgage for a girl you broke up with.

You should sell it and give Shuri the money to live. That's better!

She can't move on to her next love if she lived in her ex's condo.

Next love?

What? Did you think Shuri's life was over at that place?

No...

You are really... really absent-minded.

You know how you have no plans? You are just like your father!

Really?

Really! He needed me to take care of things.

Right? About there. I think he's around there somewhere.

Ah! It was really unfortunate about Akira,

but there'll be someone else who's good for Kyoya.

Don't just end it like that!

It's over.

Oh.

There's an e-mail from Shinkai! It's to the whole company.

Oh?

I'm not feeling well,

I'm taking the day off. I'm sorry for such late notice.

Shinkai.

For Shinkai to miss work suddenly is...

She must be feeling really sick－ No, it's because of the other day.

Ueno, why did you just stand there? Stand up!

I couldn't follow the event that was happening in front of me.

Shinkai is not coming?

Sakuma, why didn't you stand up to the CEO the other day?

You can't really say anything to that.

Why didn't you say anything, Matsutoya?

Shinkai asked me if it's okay to do what makes her happy, so I said...

Shinkai has feigned a sickness?

She should just come and apologise. What's taking her so long?

Here you go.

About the other night...

So... we were both feeling weak...

and things happen.

Things happen?

Well...

It's like an accident.

So you don't have to think too much of it,

and everything will be just like before.

Is it that simple?

Is it something we don't have to consider seriously?

I guess it's fine. Kosei, you were that type of a person.

You get drunk and you just sleep with whoever is around.

I wasn't drunk then.

That's what you mean by "an accident" right?

I'm just saying that we are both responsible.

We both used each other?

What a horrible relationship.

I really didn't want to be like this.

Why did we...

We're talking right now. You don't have to answer.

- It might be Shuri. - Shuri?

I haven't been able to get in touch with her since then. It's not.

Then it's not－

Hello?

Shinkai? Ueno and I are by your station right now.

Can we meet now?

Wow!

Right now...

I'm at a bar called 5Tap right now.

You take the stone path from the station. It's on the right.

You can't miss it.

It's my co-workers.

Why did you invite them?

I skipped work today. They came to see me so I can't be rude.

I wanted to talk to you today too.

Kosei, you are here every day.

I'm sorry. Wait.

- Saito. - Yes?

I have two co-workers coming now.

I guess I'll open it then.

Here! It's here!

I'm sorry that I didn't say anything the other day.

I'm sorry.

That's fine. What CEO said is true.

Even if I'm not there, the company will run as long as there's people.

If it's that bad, I should just quit.

I'm glad that you came to see me. I'm really happy.

This is the first time for us to drink together.

We should have gone out to eat together too.

Um, I didn't quit work thanks to you,

and even my sales job is starting to get interesting.

So this time, I want to stop you from quitting.

I'm the opposite. Shinkai, you should quit.

Even if you return, CEO will be at it again and nothing will change.

Matsutoya!

I prefer that you are happy.

That's what I want to say but honestly, I want you back!

Matsutoya.

- I was touched just now. - The feeling that I want you back

and the other of not caring is struggling inside me.

Please choose sides. Tsukumo Create needs the guardian, Shinkai.

Guardian?

To calm down that turbulent Mr. Tsukumo.

What about the CEO?

So for now, three requests to resign.

I won't accept it.

The ones who want to quit, tell them to come to me directly.

Sakuma.

Sakuma!

I told you that I complained at work for the first time?

Where he retaliated?

I couldn't get through to the CEO at all.

It's more meaningless than disappointing.

They won't change that easily.

How about you, Kosei?

Huh?

Kosei, don't you want to change?

You want to tell them that you won't do fraud anymore.

Don't you want to drop the bomb to break the daily life?

That's radical.

You seemed to be struggling the other day.

So? You felt bad for me and slept with me?

You sure are a nice person. You can't say "No."

It was because you were just strangely very kind then.

What do you mean "strange"?

I fell for your charm.

What is that? I didn't use that. Is it my fault?

I'm not blaming you. I'm just reflecting on my own actions.

That night, you kissed me too, right?

You did, right?

I did.

Why?

Because I wanted to give back.

That means that you consented.

Yes, I consented. I regret the fact that I consented.

What is that?

If you are going to regret it, then don't do it.

Kosei, I could tell you regretted it by just looking at your back.

My back?

In the morning, in the bed,

when I was leaving. You were up,

but you had your back to me and said nothing.

I could tell that you were really regretting it...

from your back.

I'm right?

You are right.

See! I knew it.

Well, that was unexpected for me too.

It's natural to regret it.

You are the one who said not to do it if you are going to regret it.

Welcome.

Oh, Akira may be a bit busy right now.

What? Akira?

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't get a hold of Shuri.

Could I see her?

Go ahead. You can go.

Are you two fighting?

Where were you?

- I can't get a hold of Shuri. - What?

She left my place. Things happened at work.

I think it's faster to go to your condo.

- She wasn't at the condo. - What?

So that's why I thought she was at your place.

Kosei, take a look. This is my girlfriend.

Isn't she super cute?

It's cute, but pick a human being.

What?

File a missing person's report?

Isn't that a bit too much?

Shuri doesn't have anywhere to go.

I think even if you live with them, you can still file a report

even if you are not family.

Then I can report it?

Yes.

- Let's go to the police. - Yes, let's go.

I'm sorry. I'll be back again.

- Be careful. - Yes.

Wait one second.

What's its name?

Tatchin!

Tatchin? Where is it?

I am keeping it safe at my place.

The owner.

According to my friend, she's actually a nice person.

Excuse me...

what are you doing?

Why is the moustache here?

I'm sorry.

I told you not to tell!

But I didn't tell Akira.

Be quiet!

Ah, Tatchin! Is she eating well?

Yes, she was so good!

- You were a good girl! - Yes.

Call...

Akira and Kyoya, or at least one of them.

Why?

They are worried about you.

They just went to the police to file a missing person's report.

Huh? Are they stupid or what?

They are stupid. You know them.

Call them.

Ah, wait one second.

It's Shuri!

What?

I'm alive.

You two are both stupid.

Huh?

What?

When people are nice to you,

don't you get sad that you are not kind?

Then you should be nice to them too.

That's not it?

It's not a quiz.

It's not a quiz? Then what is it?

You are too loud!

She won't reply. I wonder where she is.

She's such a trouble-maker regardless of where she is.

By the way,

Shuri said she was thankful...

that you helped her.

Me too. I was saved by you too.

So I want you to be happy with someone wonderful－

Don't decide for me!

You, Shuri and even my mom are moving forward, I'm left behind.

It's lame for me to be saying this still,

but I still love you, Akira.

Honestly, I'm not sure what love is,

but I want to know what your thoughts are...

and I want to fight with you.

So...

will you consider getting back together with me?

Please.

Ah.

Shuri sent me a message.

She didn't tell me where she is, but she's safe.

I see. What about Kyoya?

He went home. He said to tell you "Hi."

Hi? Creepy!

You say that!

Akira, you like that type of man.

What is it all of a sudden?

Nothing.

You prefer someone like Kureha, right? We are totally different.

I have a moustache too.

I have a creepy smile.

It's not creepy anymore.

Is that so?

I won't shave my moustache.

I didn't ask you to.

I might lose my job.

What?

It's nothing. Why don't you sit?

You should answer it.

That's okay.

It might be something important.

What we are talking about is more important.

Why don't you answer that?

I won't.

It's fine. Why won't you answer it?

Then you too.

Kaiji?

Kureha?

- Thank you for coming! A hug! - A hug!

Welcome.

I'm good.

Nice to meet you. I'm Akira.

Hello, I'm Kaiji.

You don't need to do that.

Then, I'll hug you!

Radish in oden?

It really soaks in.

"A gold digger in a fake marriage" They dug up my past.

Kaiji's PR division is upset with me. So I'm locked up here.

It's too much, so we might just leave Japan.

Leave?

To where?

Like Sydney?

Like...? It's not just around the corner.

Crabs and shrimps are delicious there!

Food is important.

What about your company?

I'll let the number two take over.

You are okay with that?

I'm not that interested in running a business anyway.

What about your new game?

I can do that anywhere.

What about your brand, Kureha?

I'll move my base to overseas.

Will it be that smooth?

Is this something you decided

as a result of serious consideration?

I go by intuition.

Momentum is important. Goodbye Japan!

- Bye bye! - Bye!

This combination is not good.

These two got married after dating for zero days.

Well, moving abroad is a joke－

- A joke? - It's a joke?

This is the reality.

What's this dress for?

For a public apology press conference.

An apology?

I'm Kureha Tachibana. I am sorry to cause all this trouble.

I will be more cautious with my actions as a supportive wife.

You wear that dress and give that speech?

Otherwise the sponsors, stockholders and the public won't understand.

I'm against it, but Kurechin insists on doing it.

How does it look? Does it suit me well?

Are you sure about this?

When I got that surgery,

Kaiji said this to me.

Kurechin haven't lost anything.

When a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly,

it changes drastically in the chrysalis.

That transformation was done by the caterpillars' own power.

Kurechin became a new Kurechin.

When he said that to me, I proposed to him.

When he said "Sure,"

the bell rang!

Ding-dong!

Huh?

The bell rings afterwards? It's not when you fall in love?

With Kaiji, yes. It was a majestic tone.

I'm Kaiji Tachibana's wife, Kureha Tachibana.

I'm sorry about all the commotions I have caused.

I am sorry about my misleading behaviours.

From now on I'll be aware of my position,

and live cautiously as a devoted wife.

If you have any questions, please go ahead.

What about your relationship with VB's Yama?

It was before I got married,

but I had a nice relationship with him.

How did you come to marry Kaiji Tachibana?

I proposed to him.

There's a rumour that you are after his money.

That's not it!

That's not it.

Did you get married because you got pregnant?

Are you planning to start a family?

How about it?

You know...

Yes?

Do you get married to have kids?

I got married because I wanted to be with him. Is there anything else?

She lost it.

What is Kaiji saying about causing all this commotion?

You are the ones making a big fuss here.

Why do I have to apologise for it?

So you are not sorry?

I am sorry.

I am sorry that I came out here today in this outfit.

That would mean you are not sorry.

Kureha Tachibana was Kureha, before becoming Kaiji Tachibana's wife.

Yes.

I will live as I please from now on.

Yes.

- With Kaiji. - Yes, please.

Thank you for coming today.

No, this is not a conference!

Wait!

For what?

What did you come here for?

Well...?

I came to confirm that I can't be nobody else but myself.

What?

- See you! - See you!

Kurechin is the best!

I'm going to go pick her up.

Kosei, you are bigger than you think.

Kurechin!

The situation is going to get worse.

Kaiji is happy, so it's good.

They dropped the bomb.

They really dropped it!

What about our talk?

Huh? That we regretted it?

The fact that you might lose everything, including your job.

You remember well.

It was just now. Of course I remember.

It's rare to be gallant like Kaiji.

Yes, Kureha too.

I'm not that type of person.

Me neither.

When I get emotional, nothing good ever happens.

When I get emotional, I regret it later.

I don't want to take a risk.

Right.

Even then...

I'm done being dominated by someone else.

Am I stupid?

I think it's okay to be stupid.

You are the ones making a big fuss here.

"Kureha snaps at the press conference"

Why do I have to apologise?

- So, you are not sorry? - Wow.

Her true colours are out!

I am sorry.

Found you!

I came here－

You forgot something.

You don't need to lose confidence just because it didn't work there.

There's some other place that's perfect for you.

I'm going to look too now.

Here.

"I will be leaving Tsukumo Create Japan for personal reasons"

Shinkai?

Morning.

Shinkai! So you came!

Shinkai!

That was quite a long vacation.

It was two days.

Take care of all the jobs here. Make it go smooth!

Excuse me.

CEO, could you come over here?

Huh?

Could you listen to what I have to say?

I was asked to deliver this request for resignation from Shuri Nagato.

Please accept it.

That was a flash.

What do you think of us, sir?

What? You are all my employees.

As you said, you can replace your employees,

but we employees can replace our bosses too.

Your shouts are like threats.

I wouldn't shout if the jobs were done properly.

We need you to talk regularly. We can't keep up with rapid orders.

It's a regular speed! How slow do you expect me to speak?

Not everyone is like you.

You all are slow-witted!

If everyone is slow-witted, then your words are incomprehensible.

Don't you think that's sad?

What is?

I'm sad that I can't get through to you.

This one-sided relationship is exhausting!

I'm a human being that worked for you.

A human being. Since I'm a human being...

I may be happy or sad and make mistakes at times.

Sometimes I feel that I'm at my limits.

"Request of resignation" Thank you for everything.

I will quit...

before I suppress myself too much, and really kill myself.

I will properly hand over my duties. Excuse me.

Wait, Shinkai! I won't accept this!

What are you so dissatisfied about?

Shinkai and I told you several times about that!

Why won't you listen a little?

Me too.

I'll get out of my comfort zone, so I want you to listen.

I don't like security cameras.

I can't concentrate with all your shouting.

Because of your bad reviews, we don't get any new applicants.

What are you all going on about－

Shinkai!

We wish you luck...

with your new job.

Ueno!

Good job! You've gotten over from Shinkai!

I won't accept it!

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Oh? Major cleaning time?

- Thank you for coming. - It's rare that you want to talk,

so I figured I'll do you a favour.

The consulting company is associated with Prose, the recruitment company.

There is no obvious connection between these two companies,

but the invoices issued by Honesty Consulting...

there were few that were for Prose.

There is no business alliance in reality.

It's false billing.

I will expose Prose's concealing its income.

Nemoto.

Do you understand what you are saying?

"Kosei Nemoto" You took part in fraud.

Yes.

You will also submit this to the tax office,

and to instigate a tax evasion investigation would mean...

Yes.

I'm sorry...

to bring this to you as soon as the other job was over.

If it was me, I would look the other way and forget it all.

This kind of fraud is everywhere!

There is no need for you to ruin your life for it.

It's the opposite. I'm thinking of taking my life back.

I'm a CPA and a tax accountant, Kosei Nemoto.

Hello, this is Nemoto.

I brought accounting paperwork for Honesty Consulting.

Why are you here?

I didn't have time.

Could I come in?

Wait on the second floor.

What is it?

Excuse me. Please continue.

I think...

I won't be part of it anymore.

I also went ahead and reported your income concealment! See you!

Ah! Could I punch you just this once?

Takanashi! What is the meaning of this?

- Hey! - Yes.

If he's closing his office, why isn't he here?

Right. It's very like Kosei.

Do you know where he is now?

When you are in a bar business as long as I've been,

there are people who stop coming all of a sudden.

Then another customer comes,

and they become a regular, and you build a new relationship.

So it changes a little, but the cycle repeats.

You'll meet another drinking buddy.

I agree.

You'll come to my bar's anniversary party, right?

Yes. I'll drink Nine Tailed Cats for sure this year!

Thank you. I'll leave my payment here.

Thank you!

It's ready.

What are you doing wandering around during the daytime?

I'm unemployed!

Even I'm working!

I'll eat!

You know, their boarding is no joke.

It's just four and a half tatami space. At least I'm with Tatchin.

Oh! The real Tatchin can't come to the anniversary party.

What?

Hey!

I'm sorry.

Welcome back.

I'm back.

Welcome.

Akira, will Kosei come?

I'm not sure.

Mail alone is not enough Kosei for me.

- Here. - Thank you.

Chiharu sent me vinegar again the other day.

What?

I sent her some beers.

You don't have to. That gets annoying, right?

It's fun. I'll stop when I don't like it anymore.

About work, I can refer you to an affiliated company.

I'm done with referrals.

Right.

I'll get unemployment, and really think about it.

What kind of a job I want. What I want to do now.

The answer from the other day?

I'm sorry.

Right! I expected that.

I still wanted to tell you though.

Are you happy, Akira?

I think this is good.

I see.

I'll look for happiness from now on!

Good luck!

Shut up!

Yes?

Akira?

Hello?

So you were alive.

I'm not going to die.

I didn't think you would move first, Kosei.

Did you extend the lease?

Yes. I'm living on a budget.

I see. Then what are you doing now?

I'm drinking beer at home.

That's quite early.

Tomorrow is 5Tap's anniversary party.

You need to drink that Nine Tailed Cats this year for sure!

Even if you go, you won't be able to drink. You'll be serving the others.

I won't do that this year.

Kosei, you might get drunk before tasting it again.

Probably.

You are not coming?

Let's drink beer.

I want to drink with you.

"Thank you, it's our second anniversary"

Congratulations.

- Congrats! - Thank you!

What a beautiful flower. Thank you.

Saburo and Shuri, could you help out?

What?

Yes! Shuri!

- Come on! Stand up! - Why? Fine!

Takuramakan! What time do you think Kosei will be here?

I'll open the Nine Tailed Cats at three, so before that?

- Wow, three o'clock? - Almost.

- Hello. - Welcome!

Sir! Please apologise to Shinkai!

Even if I did, she won't come back.

- That's fine. - What time will Shinkai be here?

I think she should be here any second.

Fine.

That's not it. Setsuko smokes and drinks too.

And of all things, she loves beer the most.

She's attractive in every aspect.

What's your screenshot now, Ueno?

It's Sakuma.

Why?

It's to support my heart.

You won't know when I'll quit.

Sakuma!

A curse to be disliked by every secretary he hires!

That's not cool.

- There! - Stop that!

- There! - Stop it!

There's a lot! Is it all you can drink?

Of course not. It's not all you can drink.

So it will be your treat since you invited me out here.

No, no. You drink like a fish.

- What? - What?

"Nine Tailed Cats"

Don't be like "What"?

I wonder what Akira and Kosei are doing.

It's three already!

Let's open it then!

It's two bottles of vintage beer from Nasu, Nine Tailed Cats!

Yeah!

What is that?

That's pretty.

It's aged 10 years.

Is this fine although I'm unemployed?

You're right. I'm unemployed too.

What about your home?

I'm renting a flat right now.

Then you don't have anything.

There's nothing.

Although I'm alive, my life is over.

It's not over. It just changed.

Even if it doesn't change vividly,

but it changes little by little and becomes less bitter. Like this beer.

It's aged?

It'll be fruity.

You've never had it before.

I just wish that's the case.

What if it's really bad when you actually drink it?

I'll still drink it.

- Let's drink then. - Okay.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

What do you want to do tomorrow?

- Do you want to go to the beach? - Yes.

- You want to? - That's no joke!

- Excuse me! - Wow!

There it is!

Let's check out the food first!

Right, we won't eat oysters and shrimp every day though.

Then we'll check the living environment.

- For now, here. - Oh!

Cheers!

It's delicious!

Sydney!

Kakei is getting married? He had a girlfriend?

It wasn't going well for a while due to a misunderstanding,

but they resolved it by talking like Hanai and Shinkai.

You never know what kind of effect you have on others.

Hello! I'm Hashizume!

And I've been divorced three times!

What?

Fourth time is the charm and I'm here to find my partner. Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Hanai. I want to be an ocean-like man.

In other words, a huge heart, broad-minded,

and I tend to give away condos to my girlfriend. Nice to meet you.

I gave a condo to my second wife too.

Let's all stand.

Cheers!

Cheers!

This is beer Akira sent.

Cheers to his memories!

- Cheers to his memories! - Cheers to his memories!

Oh really? That's good.

The two bottles are gone already too.

What? Everyone?

Kosei?

They are having a good time drinking.

They are having a good time.

It's gone.

Oh, it's gone!

I heard there's a church close by.

A church?

The bells sound at 16:00.

Do you want to go?

They say it rings, but maybe it won't.

Oh, a disaster radio's chime again?

Maybe a temple's bell?

There it is.

That's it. It's amazing.

Hm. 16:00?

Yes, 16:00.

I want to hear the bell.

Maybe we won't hear it.

Our senses have regressed.

Even if it doesn't ring, or I can't hear it...

can we still be together?

That's... I'm not sure.

But I think that depends on us.

It might ring now.

Oh?
