Original subtitles

So it's true that we are having an affair.

That's not true.

But there's one problem.

You are always in my heart, Kate.

Let's just stop this.

- Ah! - Hey, hey...

- Are you okay? - Ah... yeah.

- Does it hurt? It's okay. - Sorry.

- Sit there. - Thank you.

- Let me chill it. - Ah...

I'll spray it.

Whoa! It's super cold!

Here. You can bring this home.

Ah... thanks.

You'll get frostbite if you use it too much.

Frostbite? Wow, that's scary.

I guess it's a punishment for me...

Well... why did you go downstairs?

I've told you I'm thirsty.

Ah...

I wish you could stay up there longer.

I love you.

- Say. - Hmm?

Even though I'll be punished for this, be with me sometimes, will you?

I won't ask for anything more.

If we do that...

...nothing will go well.

You might be okay with that, Kate.

But I'm not that skillful.

I can't be with you both nonchalantly.

Ah...

Hmm?

Don't you have to go home now?

Yeah...

Before, we were both single.

And I often stayed the night here.

23 February (Sun)

This is bad... Since that time, it's always been bad.

I'm into this love which I can't tell anyone about.

This is bad!

I'll do my best at work!

- Please check this. - Okay. Here.

Okay.

Thank you.

Please check this.

In this "Parent-child quarrel in Shinise Sweet Shop" article...

...you should put more humor or it will be totally dull!

- Kurokawa! - Yes? - Who's in charge of this?

- I am. - Fix this. - Yes, Sir.

Hey, Kate, check on his punchline.

I'm working on my tailgating article. I'll check it later.

- Kate! - Yes?

- Fix it first, okay? - Okay!

What a sharp ear.

It's an honor to get corrections from you, Makabe-san.

You should feel frustrated instead! You're a pro, right?

I'm frustrated but I'm also happy.

- I'm Kate-children, anyway. - What? That's gross!

- Tabuchi! - Yes?

Have you asked the company about this?

- I have. - It's quite weak.

- Make it better. - Okay.

Kuro-san, what's the matter?

- Your face is red. - I just have a fever.

- It's not influenza, right? - Borrow a thermometer from Satomi-san, please.

Excuse me.

- Do you have a thermometer? - Nonaka-kun, do you have fever?

- Not me, but Kuro-san. - Ah, Kurokawa-kun.

- After using, disinfect it before you return it to me, okay? - Okay.

Here.

Please disinfect it after you use it.

Shouldn't you just go to the clinic to check on influenza?

- Ah, but today is Sunday. - What? Kurokawa, do you have fever?

It's not influenza. I can't get influenza on the day before final proofreading...

- Onodera! - Yes!

"Love circumstances for single women on their 30s". What the hell is this?

- No woman would read an article with such title. - Well...

- Are you underestimating your job? - No, I'm not.

- Make 10 different titles in 10 minutes. - 10 titles in 10 minutes?

- Kurokawa too! Don't give an OK for things like this! - I'm sorry.

It's ringing already. How fast.

Is this broken?

How high is it?

- 40 degrees. - What?

After you use the thermometer, please disinfect it.

Why do you look at me like that?!

This is influenza-harassment!

Kurokawa, check for influenza at International Central Med School.

- If you get everyone here infected, we will be short-handed. - Okay.

The chief of internal medicine dept. is my friend. I'll call him so you can get examined right away.

Tell the emergency reception desk it's an order from Tsutsumi-sensei.

He's got connection with the hospital, huh?

As the editor-in-chief of "Weekly East", he can get a hold...

- ...of nearly all major hospital in the city, right? - That's amazing!

Ah, this is Iwatani... Yeah, I'm okay.

Well, actually one of my copy editor has got a high fever.

I hope you can get him examined for influenza immediately.

Just for 15 or 20 minutes... Thank you. I'm so grateful.

Thank you very much. Okay, you can go now!

- Is it really okay for me to go? - Just go.

If I can't get back here because of influenza...

- ...you'll be my substitute, Kate. - What?

- Even though I'm more senior than her. - Check Sato's and Fukunishi's article.

So I have to check my own article?

Kurokawa-kun, it's 40 degrees, right? I'll see you off until the car pick-up area.

Ah, thank you.

Everyone, please disinfect yourself with the alcohol.

What an amazing nightingale spirit.

- Here. - Huh?

- Makabe-san. - Huh? What?

- Here. - Huh?

Disinfect, disinfect.

You're fast only in such things, huh?

Well, that's good for someone who's usually useless.

Try to come up with 10 titles, then.

- Disinfection first. - What?

That's too much.

About the dinner with Maruyama-sensei...

...we'll be out at 5. Looking forward for your cooperation.

Why did you schedule it on the day before our final proofreading?

He said that he wanted it to be precisely on this day.

Do I have to come too?

Maruyama-sensei is looking forward to have dinner together with you.

You must be there too. If you don't come...

- ...it will be the end of his serialization. - Let it be.

What? Oh my... Maruyama-sensei's essays...

...have brought us lots of fans. It's very popular...

I'm joking, okay? I'll go with you!

- Ah, Onodera! Have you come up with the titles? - Yes.

"The great love phenomenon for women in their 30s", "Latest love circumstances for women around 30".

- "Love story of women around 30s"... - No good. Think again.

He doesn't understand about woman's heart at all.

Woman's heart?

Is this the editorial dept. of "Weekly East"?

Have you made an appointment?

Don't you know who I am?

- Well... - I'm Sasa Mirei.

Sasami Rei-sama?

SASA MIREI!

The enka singer, Sasa Mirei!

Who wrote this article?!

You wrote as if I'm a violent woman... Who wrote this?!

What do you mean with "manager crusher", huh?!

Who?! Who wrote this?!

- I did... - No, I'll handle this.

- But I'm the one who wrote that. - It's okay.

I'm asking you, WHO WROTE THIS?!

Coward! Don't you feel responsible for what you wrote?

You're the worst!

Is it you who wrote this?

I'm Iwatani, the editor-in-chief.

This article is full of lies. What are you going to do, huh?

We never published any article without enough evidence.

What evidence, huh?

In this case, it's the testimonies from all your former managers.

So you wrote it based on those one-sided testimonies from my managers.

We had tried to ask you for an interview...

...but we didn't get any respond. So we wrote this article...

...based on the testimony from your former managers and other singers around you.

Shut up! I've told you I never intimidated anyone!

But you are intimidating me now, aren't you?

Don't look down on me!

- I'm sorry! It's all because of my article... - It's me who gave it an OK.

- If someone has to be punched for it, it's me. - Thank you very much.

On this week's trending news, we have "A closer look on violent talents" article.

By adding what just happened in that article...

- ...we can even get a whole new article. - I get it.

- Did anyone record it? - Of course!

Good. I'll be back in 2 hours and as soon as I'm back, I'll check on the video.

- Get ready to release it! - Okay!

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Ah, Onodera. - Yes! Well, the title, right?

Wait a moment, please. Copy editor Makabe, title, please...

Wait a sec. Um... I can't find...

...where I wrote that. Wait, well... where did I write that...?

Wait, I'll get it right away. Okay... Here!

"Women in 30s: Should I stick to that love?"

Okay, that's good. Why don't you say that earlier?

As expected from our copy editor substitute~

Should I stick to that love...

Shiranakute Ii Koto

English subtitle by: aoihachi

Wait, wait.

Even though you say so, it's ready to be published.

I understand your feeling, but it was you who said that...

...it wouldn't be good for this country to forgive such injustice, right?

Yes, you did! If you change your mind now...

...we will be...

Did the whistleblower change his mind?

Yeah. He's thinking about this family...

...so he wanted to take back his testimony.

You must be joking... We can't change the headline now.

I'm going to meet him now.

But just in case, please prepare substitute articles.

Do you have any stock?

My article about our education problem...

...according to a young bureaucrat of MEXT will be such a waste...

...to be published now. We should wait a little longer...

...and publish it just before the new school term starts...

...so that it can stir up public opinions.

Please ask the other teams for that. I'm sorry.

Seems like we will lose one headline. Kura-chan, Buchi-san, Uchiyama...

- ...please give me some advice! - What? Oh my...

Kate! Kate, Kate, you come too!

But I only know about my own articles.

Kuro-san said you're his substitute, right? Just come!

- Can I come too? - No, thanks...

So the next copy editor would be Kate, huh...

Hey, say something.

Makabe-san is Makabe-san, anyway. Yeah.

You, say something too.

Makabe-san is Makabe-san, anyway. Yeah.

Don't just repeat after him!

Thank you very much.

"Samejima Yuji (Copy Editor)"

- I've got a bad feeling about this. - Please don't leave us, okay?

Yes?

In the political funds misappropriation case, the private secretary wanted to withdraw his testimony.

Now, Kijima is going to persuade him...

...but we also prepare for the replacement in case it doesn't work.

Don't panic. It will be fine.

I'll let you know once Kijima contacts me.

Okay.

Ah, the general check-up record of the current cabinet minister is a rare thing.

We'll surely get complaints from the official residence about this...

...but I guess this is something people want to know.

I wonder if it's good enough to be the headline...

- For now, please try to work on that. - I'll write it right away.

- I'm done here, okay? - Yeah... please try to write it.

- Buchi-san, do you have anything? - Well... I have the pictures...

...of the actor Edogawa Takeshi dating both Takemiya Karin and Yamaguchi Kokoa...

...who are in the same idol group.

Takemiya and Yamaguchi are so close like siblings, so I'm sure this will sell well. It's harsh though.

- Can it be a headline? - Hmm... yours is always celebrities' photos...

Well, that's what my team does.

I've got nothing good enough for headlines.

You're the ace of "Weekly East", right?

Isn't there anything more on that shogi player's affair?

I don't want to do that.

His wife's opinions are all over the TV already.

I have this article, "Female legislators' best outfits - How much?".

But it was already rejected by Kuro-san 3 weeks ago.

Hmm... it's not so good, but for our trending news section...

...I guess adding some short articles will do. Please prepare that.

- Okay. - Uchiyama.

I've got a testimony from the nurse in charge of Kisarazu's arsonist, and I'm planning to submit it for next week.

But I can't come up with a title good enough for headlines.

I guess we should go with the testimony from Ghosn's housekeeper while he's in Japan.

That's great, isn't it? People would want to read that.

Well, even though we could contact them multiple times, it's not for headlines.

I guess we should pick from this week's trending news section.

For now, let's make the draft while leaving the headlines blank.

- We'll show it to Iwatani-san once he comes back. - Okay.

We'll get busy fixing the advertising posters today...

- ...so I'll arrange the pics for trending news for now. - Okay.

- I'm counting on you all. - Okay.

Well then.

We are truly grateful and honored to receive your manuscripts.

To pray for Sensei's continuous health and creative activities...

- Let's have a toast. - Let's have a toast!

You're exaggerating, Iwatani-kun.

Iwatani has been a big fan of you since he was young.

What is this champagne?

Huh? Ah...

It's Merveille.

That day, the southern wind was blowing strongly.

The flowing river under the bank where Shizuru stood at...

...carried the white waves incessantly.

This was where Shizuru born. And this is where... he died.

- What is that? - It's the opening...

...of Sensei's debut work, "The Beautiful Poison Waltz".

I used to recite the whole passage when I was young.

Do you mind if I continue it a little bit?

I don't want to hear that. I'm embarrassed.

Please don't say such things.

Masterpiece is eternal.

You had pretty much free time when you're young.

Higashiyama-kun, what did you use to recite? It's okay even though it's not from my work.

Well...

It was "The Tale of the Heike".

"The sound of Gion Shoja bells echoes the impermanence of all things."

"The color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline."

- You aren't a junior high schooler. - Ah... I'm really sorry.

What about you?

- Yes? - As an employee of a publisher, you must have one or two novels you like, right?

I like Murakami Haruki.

Because we share the same name, "Haruki".

- I'm sorry. - I don't mind that.

I'm jealous of those who are going to read your works from now on, Sensei.

Even though it's the novel you wrote 50 years ago, for those who read it for the first time...

...it's a new work.

I'm really looking forward to your new works, Sensei.

Please continue to publish your works with Tougen Publishing.

That's the only thing you can say right, huh?

I'm still not sure about that.

- Well, well, let's enjoy the drink. - Thank you.

I'm done. Samejima-san, I just sent it to you.

Okay.

It's still not enough, right? Our team will try to come up with something else.

- How reliable, copy editor Makabe. - Thanks.

- Sato-kun. - Yes?

I want to include your rejected article about the newly discovered underwear. Where is it?

But it's rejected. Is it okay?

If we use different approach, it can be interesting.

Please send the file to me. Onodera-san.

- Huh? - Do you have any idea you're going to submit...

- ...for next week meeting? - Ah, wait a moment.

- The "Healthy equipment you mustn't use" one? - Ah... that's not quite good.

Are you rejecting my idea?

- I guess this will do. - Well, well, well.

I don't want to be encouraged by you.

Your essays are very intellectual, but in some parts it's also a bit mischievous.

You're right.

- That dual nature is really interesting. - Excuse me.

Sensei, I deeply apologize but please let me excuse myself for a while.

I'm sorry.

What was that?

I don't know...

By the way, Sensei...

...it will be the Olympics soon, right?

I'm the chairman of organization which is against our participation in the bidding to host the Olympics.

I see...

So his wife is against this.

She cried and said, "Please don't involve us".

Seeing that, the whistleblower was wavering...

But I think our chance is 50-50. Because actually...

...he seriously wants to expose this.

- What about secluding himself from his wife? - Ah, that would be risky.

Ah, Sir!

Ah, wait a sec.

- Is it Kijima? - Wait, I'll give the phone to Iwatani-san.

Don't panic. You don't need to worry about the replacement.

Keep on trying. You still have time until tomorrow.

A guy who changed his mind halfway will probably change his mind again.

Okay. I'll keep trying.

Yeah.

What about the substitute article?

I've summarized the minister's general check-up record.

But at best, it's still two pages long.

It's still very short for a long article.

- Moreover, this is quite bad, right? - Life-threatening, huh...

- Don't say it so lightly, will you? - Sir.

We also have "Anonymous critical complaints from young bureaucrat of MEXT"...

..."Testimony of Ghosn's housekeeper" and "Female legislators' best outfits".

Let's go with these 4. If we change the sections...

...shorter articles will do. When Kurahashi is done, we will put...

- ...the photo of the record too. - Huh? You're going to change it?

Don't be afraid of every single risk. In this time, you should be passionate!

When we covered about the tunnel accident before, everyone was so passionate, right?

- You're right. - I've made Maruyama-sensei wait, so I have to go soon.

Higashiyama must be freaking out now.

"Kijima Ryota"

It's from Kijima.

What's wrong?

The whistleblower changed his mind again. He will testify with his name published.

He said if he didn't do it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Thank God...

- Let me speak. - Okay.

Keep the whistleblower in the hotel right away.

Together with his wife and child, put him in a suite room.

If you tell the legal staff of International Bay Hotel, they'll provide perfect security.

You attend the whistleblower.

Okay.

Do it carefully.

It's okay even though I didn't come back here, huh?

I'm sorry.

- Let's save this article for later, then. - Sorry for that.

It's not your fault, Iwatani-san. Please don't apologize.

Well then, I'll go now. If Maruyama-sensei gets angry...

...he would probably decide to withdraw all his books from us.

- Thank you very much! - I leave the rest to you!

In short, the new article our copy editor Makabe wrote is rejected.

Rejected.

- My article is also... - Rejected.

- The cover layout will be back like before! - Okay!

Okay. Let's turn over a new leaf!

Huh?

- Who are you to say that? - Who?

Who?

Take me to Ginza 4th Street intersection, please.

"I'll be back in 10 minutes"

Okay, Sir.

Yes, yes, yes...

Iwatani-san will be back in 10 minutes.

Let's get through these 10 minutes somehow!

What's with you? It's just 10 minutes!

Just leave it to me.

Sensei, Iwatani will be back in 10 minutes.

Nonaka, please tell us something interesting.

Some time ago, I heard from Nonaka...

...that you both already broke up. Is that true?

Yes, we did.

- What? - What?

- Why? - Please just ask Nonaka about that.

Because you've fallen for other guy?

- I see~ - I was the one who got dumped.

- If you want to know the reason, ask Nonaka. - She's angry.

But it seemed to go well during her mother's funeral, right?

I wonder what happened?

That's why falling in love isn't my thing. It's tiring to get close...

- ...then have to break up, right? - That is what's good about it, right?

- Huh? - I've heard that the tired feeling you get from being in love...

...has something to do with your hormone secretion.

Do you have a girlfriend, Fukunishi?

Since I was assigned to "Weekly East", I lost one because I'm too busy.

- When are you busy, huh? - I'm always busy.

- Like what? - Huh? Iwatani isn't here?

- Is he away to the toilet? - Ah, Chief Egawa!

- He's out for a dinner meeting. - Even though the final proofreading is tomorrow?

- Yes. - How carefree.

Who wrote the article "Shinohara Momoka kissing in public"?

Ah, I wrote it. Working together with Tabuchi-san's team.

Ah, you. Then, who's your copy editor?

Ah, it's Makabe.

Oh, Kate the mischievous kid of "Weekly East", huh?

Thanks.

The photo of Shinohara Momoka kissing in public will be published this week, right?

Ah, please ask Iwatani-san about that.

Iwatani is merely an editor-in-chief, while I'm the chief of publishing dept.

I can't tell you the details of the articles at this level.

By the way, do you know that we are going to publish Shinohara Momoka's photobook?

Yes.

It will be on sale this Friday.

If her kissing photo is out on Wednesday...

...don't you think that it will hinder the photobook's sale?

I want you to postpone that kissing photo for 1 month.

But even though I say so, you are in no position to decide anything, huh?

Whether the kissing photo will be published or not...

...the decision is up to our editor-in-chief...

Let me talk to Iwatani then. Call him back here.

I think he will be back in 1 hour.

I say call him back here RIGHT NOW.

Well... at supermarket, there are people...

...who return the things they already take to different shelves, right?

I thought that they should be careful about that...

...so I looked at them and thought, "You should put it back".

But they didn't do that in the end.

Even though I glared at them.

Somehow... it was just the atmosphere.

"New message from Makabe Kate"

Where is Iwatani-kun?

He should have arrived now...

Ah.

Is he already here?

"Sorry, I have to go back to the office again"

S-s-s-.... seems like...

...Iwatani will be a bit late.

I hope you won't say something so absurd like that.

You always listen to my absurd request. We entered here at the same time, anyway.

- We won't change our content. - Just do something with that.

Shinohara Momoka's photobook will be the next biggest hit...

...after the said-to-be best-selling Miyazawa Rie's nude photobook "Santa Fe".

Her 1st one was sold for 500,000 copies. The 2nd was 700,000 copies.

- This time, we aimed for 1 million copies. - I know that.

If you understand, save that kissing photo for later.

Unlike this weekly magazine in decline, Momoka's photobook...

...can earn just as much as the salary of all employees in Tougen Publishing.

For a member of an idol group who bans love relationship...

...it's the top-of-the-top kissing photo.

It's a wonderful, humane photo.

If we publish it, I'm sure her photobook will sell well.

- That's impossible. - Who knows? - Impossible!

- Let's bring it to the climax together. - Not with that kissing photo.

"Higashiyama Hidenori (Copy Editor)"

Sorry.

Maruyama-sensei says that he will stop the serialization!

I'll be right there.

Let's talk again later.

I must go back to the dinner meeting with Maruyama-sensei.

Wait.

- Do you mean Maruyama Shigeo? - Yeah. Since he writes serial essay for us...

...we have to regularly entertain him.

If you want to entertain him, why don't you call me?

- Huh? - I was in charge of him for 10 years.

In the literary world, he's the most difficult to handle.

No one could last for 1 year, but I could do it for 10 years.

Wow. He surely likes you, then.

You guys in "Weekly East" only know dealing with the stuffs within "Weekly East".

You know nothing outside your department.

I admit that, but we will publish that kissing photo.

- I'm sure her photobook will sell. - Our boss wanted you to stop that.

Scoop will not give in to office politics!

It's not that I'm unhappy with my family. They're precious to me.

But there isn't a single day I pass without thinking about you.

I guess it's a punishment for me...

Oh! That was close...

Is it okay?

- Hey. - Oh, hello.

- Is Odaka-san coming today? - Huh? Ah, I don't know.

- Perhaps he will come. Why? - Ah, no. I just want to ask.

What? Are you back with Odaka now?

- What? - You broke up with Nonaka, right?

Even you know that too, Tabuchi-san?

Well, everyone knows that.

Somehow... it's an unpleasant day today.

- What's that? Is it my fault? - No, it's not like that.

Kuro-san is sick. Our editor-in-chief got slapped.

Iwatani-san was so cool today, right?

Even though he was slapped by that enka singer, he's still so calm.

But we don't know what would happen if she pulled out a knife.

I think our office should think more about its security.

You're quite right.

Sensei, as usual, you're such a good drinker.

You too, huh?

Ah, I just found out that the correct "ippon-jime"...

...isn't just clapping your hands once.

- Is that so? - I know that.

Of course you know that, Sensei.

But apparently, 80% of people don't know about this.

Do you know how the correct "ippon-jime" should be?

No, we don't.

- I thought it's clapping our hands once. - What about you?

- I don't know. - I don't know either.

Oh my... even the editor-in-chief is included in that 80%?

Why do you sound so arrogant?

- You knew it just recently, right? - Exactly! Just like you said!

The single clap is actually called "itcho-jime".

- "Itcho-jime"? - Wow.

One-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three, one.

That's the correct "ippon-jime"!

Higashiyama, from today, you'll be the cheer commander for "Weekly East".

Sorry?

In the celebration parties for Sensei, be in charge...

- ...of the hand-clapping and live up the party! - Well, if you don't mind with me...

...I will try to do that.

That's good, that's good. As expected from you, Egawa-kun!

Well then, let's close it today! Cheer commander!

- Okay! - Are we done?

Well, Sensei, after this, let's go somewhere else with me.

You must be bored seeing these glum faces, right?

You're right.

Well then, as requested by Chief Egawa...

- Cheer commander! - Okay, everyone.

To pray for more creativity to come from Maruyama-sensei, let's get our hands ready!

Yosh!

- Bye. - Thank you very much.

I've stopped this earlier for you, so give up on Momoka's photo.

Thank you for your help but I'll still publish that.

Thank you very much! Have a nice trip!

- Ah, it's over~ - Thank you very much.

Yeah, good work! Now, let's go back. We have to stay up all night.

Yeah.

It's Kurokawa.

How are you?

Your connection didn't work at all.

I've been made to wait for ages until now.

Seriously? Well, is it influenza?

No, it's not.

Thank God~ Well then, you can go home for today.

But I have nothing to do at home...

Your cough sounds infectious.

Well, just take a rest today. It's an order.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You can put them here. Thank you.

How much?

5 dandan noodles, so it's all 4,500 yen.

Let's order something too.

- I'll get the menu. - Huh? Ah, I'm sorry.

- Is it okay for you to do that? I'm sorry... - It's okay.

Hey, Fukunishi, it's you who should do that, right?

But Makabe-san already does it.

What kind of child were you, Fukunishi?

Did you have no friend?

My grades were good.

I'm asking if you had no friends or not.

My grades were good.

- Am I wrong? - I don't know...

Perhaps everyone already ordered something.

- They will still eat these. - Yeah.

If you like, I can eat these.

- You can have a whole bite without using your hand. - No, no...

- Hey, everyone, good work. - Good work~

Treats from our editor-in-chief!

- I'll put this here. - I'll bring this inside.

It's all thanks to Chief Egawa that it ended earlier.

So it's midnight snack for everyone who stays here today!

Oh, thanks!

- Let's eat. - But we've ordered delivery.

- Eat them all. - Thank you!

- Wow, it's sushi! - Whoa, looks delicious!

I feel like I can work harder today.

We should have had sushi.

You can have both, right?

It's your fault that my husband didn't come home.

Though I had told you about the messages...

...and asked you to expose his affairs to return him to me.

Please take him back to me with the power of "Weekly East".

From now on, it's time for me and Sensei.

Please return my husband!

It's your fault to write such article.

Stop that!

Don't come any closer or you all will be dead!

- Stop that! - I won't stop... I won't forgive you.

Someone is being stabbed at "Weekly East" editorial dept.

It's our staff.

Please come quickly! Please...

Even though you do this...

...nothing will be changed...

Go to hell!!

Stop!! Let me go!!

I won't forgive you!!

You talked too much... blockhead.

Odaka-san...

I'll kill her! I'll kill her!

- How are his vital signs? - Please take care of him.

Okay. We are into the operating room now.

- I will cut your sleeves. Sorry. - Okay.

How is Odaka-san...?

Ouch...

I want to know the condition of the man who was taken here earlier.

- We don't know about that. - Go ask about that.

- Please. - Okay.

His name is Odaka Yuichiro. He got stabbed on his back.

You can't come around this area...

...so please continue your work there.

- All, let's gather in front of Samejima team's desks. - Okay.

- Kobayashi-san, please look at this. - You recorded it well.

- As expected from you. - My hand was shaking.

- I recorded it too. - What? Let me see.

- Wow, this is great. - Amazing.

- Uchiyama will choose which video to use. - Okay.

Listen. For our next issue...

...we will do a special coverage on the assault in "Weekly East".

Kijima's article on the testimony about political funds misappropriation...

- ...will still be on the headline. - Okay.

We will keep the colored pages, serial story section, and Momoka's kissing photo.

The rest will be changed.

Including the affair news, we will create a special issue publishing our editing intention.

People would think it's all because our affairs news goes too far.

"Weekly East" isn't the heroes of justice.

We have no intention to accuse those who's involved in affairs.

For us, the one who's having affair and his spouse are just equal.

"Weekly East" reveals various sides of human...

...and provides the materials which can make you think of what humans can think of.

- Kurahashi, write it in 3,800 characters. - I've heard what you just said too often...

...that I can do it right away.

How is it?

Odaka's surgery has finished. He has gained consciousness too.

Glad to hear that.

- Odaka is alright. - Ah...

What about Kate?

Kate should take proper rest, so it's better for her to be hospitalized for 2-3 days.

- Does it hurt? - Ah... not really...

Don't make a surprised face like that.

The serial story team is kinda free now, anyway.

Odaka's surgery has finished.

His lung isn't injured, so it's kinda a blessing in disguise.

Ah...

The police will come tomorrow to ask you about the case.

So today, you should just properly rest.

- Sorry to trouble you until this late. - Don't be so reserved.

Ah... where's Odaka-san's room?

It's on this floor too. The room on the left at the end of this hallway, number 515.

- I have to thank him for saving me. - You should just do that tomorrow too.

By the day, starting from today, I become the cheer commander of "Weekly East".

Well... I'm going home, okay?

Tomorrow, our editor-in-chief will visit you after the final proofreading is done.

Koizumi will help you getting some clothes from your house.

Thank you very much.

Get well soon.

We can enter by showing this ID at the entrance.

Why only four of these?

- What about this one? - Ah, it's good, right?

- Tabuchi, Uchiyama, I leave it to you. - Okay.

Sir, please check this.

Samejima! Ask about what Sakuraba Kazumi testified.

- You knows someone from Hibiya Police Station, right? - I've just done that.

When she was brought there, she cried and said...

- ..."Even a capital punishment is okay". - Keep following that.

Sir, a friend from Hakuun TV is asking for news material.

Tell him to read "Weekly East" this Wednesday.

He won't listen! But well, I'll try it once again.

Hey, Nonaka! Are you free now?

Please buy something to drink for everyone.

Okay.

I think it's better to use Ichikawa-san's video for this part...

- All of them. - Yeah.

It will come out soon, right?

Ouch...

You talked too much... blockhead.

Put the pic showing her hand here.

We are back!

Oh, good work.

I'll go out for shopping.

Someone is coming out!

- Are you from "Weekly East"? - Who got stabbed?

Please give any comment!

How is it in there?

You are from "Weekly East", right?

Can I ask you about the journalist who was stabbed after writing that article?

It's Makabe-san, right? I see her name on the article.

Do you think that Makabe-san did too much with the article?

I don't think so.

What kind of person is Makabe-san?

Ah, wait, wait, wait!

If you have something to say, please contact me.

Make this pic much bigger.

- Make it two-pages wide. - Okay.

Make the title as big as two pages too...

- ...and also prepare for solid black wrappers. - Okay.

Koizumi-chan, try to contact the printing office.

- Ah, I've done that. - Really? You're so capable.

I want to get you into my team.

- Ah, please do so! - How cute.

Ouch...

"Still alive?"

"Still alive"

"Where are you now?"

"Home"

"How's your injury?"

"Nothing serious"

"Thank you for saving me"

This is good.

It's good to go with big photo like this.

The left one is good too.

I think this is good enough...

Sir, please check this.

- Let's go with this. - Okay.

Thank you very much.

You are... the worst.

I've misjudged you, Nonaka.

You talked too much... blockhead.

Odaka-san...

Is this Ijichi-san?

I'm the one who took your name card in front of Tougen Publishing.

Right.

I will talk about...

...Makabe Kate.

The one who got stabbed by a woman trespassing into our office today...

- ...is our journalist, Makabe Kate. - Okay.

Then...

...Makabe Kate's father...

...is the criminal behind the indiscriminate murder...

...happened in a summer holiday camp 30 years ago...

...Notoa Toru.

- What? - Notoa Toru.

Don't you know him?

That one?

Her mother is the movie critic...

...Makabe Anna.

- The one who passed away last year...? - Yes.

This is too unexpected and kinda unbelievable.

I heard it right from Makabe Kate herself, so it's totally true.

Ah...

When Notoa Toru and Makabe Anna knew each other...

...Notoa Toru already had a wife.

So those two were having an affair.

What...?

Even though "Weekly East" always publish respectable articles...

...but a murderer's daughter...

...was actually the one who wrote those articles.

It doesn't feel right, does it?

Someone who was born out of an affair...

...is now denouncing affairs.
