165
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,700
That's Kurusu Akari from Development Group 1!

166
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,180
Watch yourself, Zakishino!

167
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,810
She was hand-picked 
as the rising star of Group 1

168
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:25,340
by their charismatic, high-minded chief!

169
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:30,720
She's got the hottest rep out of anyone 
who joined up the same year as us...

170
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,970
And she's favored to win 
the most promising rookie contest!

171
00:07:35,970 --> 00:07:39,400
Time should be productive, not wasted...

172
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,350
If you want to progress to the next stage.

173
00:07:42,350 --> 00:07:44,940
{\i1}That does sound high-minded!

174
00:07:44,940 --> 00:07:48,780
You were also discussing... breasts.

175
00:07:50,430 --> 00:07:51,240
That's sexual harassment.

176
00:07:51,890 --> 00:07:53,530
{\i1}You're right, it is.

177
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,700
Not when it comes to Zakishino 
and Senpai. They're mutually in love.

178
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,000
Yamagishi-kun?!

179
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,770
The partner is... his senpai?

180
00:08:02,770 --> 00:08:04,540
She's abusing her authority, then?

181
00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:05,080
{\i1}Wha?!

182
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,750
Exploiting her power.

183
00:08:06,750 --> 00:08:08,110
Senpai isn't—

184
00:08:08,110 --> 00:08:11,510
Chill out, Zakishino. Leave this to me.

185
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,010
This ain't no abuse.

186
00:08:14,010 --> 00:08:15,600
Because the two of them are going out!

187
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,010
Also not true!

188
00:08:17,010 --> 00:08:20,810
Workplace romance... Can't understand.

189
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,770
We don't provide matchmaking services here.

190
00:08:23,770 --> 00:08:29,160
Yet, according to surveys, more than a quarter
of married couples met at work.

191
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,280
It's totally natural.

192
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:37,030
Easy, now...

193
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:39,030
Kurusu.

194
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:44,710

don't stick around in the break room.

Don't worry about it. 
You've still got four minutes.

200
00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:59,180
The crucial thing is being able to 
switch your state of mind around.

201
00:08:59,180 --> 00:09:02,360
Mistakes and regrets will be fuel 
to carry you to the next stage.

202
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,310
Right!

203
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:07,550
She really is high-minded, 
and charismatic, that chief...

S-So bright!

00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:14,570
Yes.

207
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,940
Your manager and I joined 
the company at the same time.

208
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:20,580
I make it a point to keep up
with Group 2's new hires.

209
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:24,200
You and Manager? That'd mean...

210
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:26,580
Isn't that amazing?

211
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,460
I feel bad for the other rookies.

212
00:09:30,990 --> 00:09:32,970
{\i1}She's who I felt bad for!

00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:33,920

No, nothing!

who've spurred each other on to 
greater heights, even back then.

217
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:44,350
That said, he's always proven 
to be more talented...

218
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:46,350

00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,100
And the product that came from it was a hit—

221
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:53,780
I've had my hands full 
just trying to catch up to him.

222
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,300
But before I realized it, I had been promoted 
faster than anyone in company history.

223
00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:01,740
And he's stopped 
making as many obvious waves...

224
00:10:02,530 --> 00:10:04,370
But I still can't forget it.

225
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:09,830
Those days when competing with him 
raised both of our games higher and higher...

226
00:10:10,940 --> 00:10:12,630
And I've realized something.

227
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,260
I need him!

228
00:10:17,580 --> 00:10:19,760
I've already spoken to the president about it.

229
00:10:20,190 --> 00:10:22,030

00:10:22,030 --> 00:10:26,120

the most promising rookie competition,

231
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,490

but I don't intend on handing our manager over.

336
00:14:24,270 --> 00:14:25,960
{\i1}Husband factor...

337
00:14:26,430 --> 00:14:27,470
{\i1}High!

338
00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:30,240
Stare...

339
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:32,250
Uh, well...

340
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:34,260
Wh-What should we do to play?!

341
00:14:34,260 --> 00:14:37,480
Come on, Tomo-kun! Don't pull!

342
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,140
You're gonna rip Meowtaro!

343
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,040
Then, you let go, Marin!

344
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,520
What's wrong?

345
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,670
Let's play nice together.

346
00:14:46,670 --> 00:14:48,900
I've got another Meowtaro right here.

347
00:14:49,310 --> 00:14:51,160
I don't wanna play with some dumb doll.

348
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,160
But she's always playing 
with them all by herself!

349
00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:58,640
You noticed that, huh?
Do you want to play with her?

350
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,410
Wha...

351
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,170
Who'd wanna play with Marin?!

352
00:15:02,670 --> 00:15:05,210
Did that hurt, Meowtaro?

353
00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:06,170
There, there...

354
00:15:06,170 --> 00:15:09,420
It's okay now. He's not hurt.

355
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,180
Do you usually play alone?

356
00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:15,930
Yeah. My friends are the dolls.

357
00:15:15,930 --> 00:15:21,020
I see. But I'd like you to play 
with us, too, Marin-chan.

358
00:15:23,220 --> 00:15:24,940
Then, let's play house!

359
00:15:25,330 --> 00:15:26,940
{\i1}House?

360
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,440
Onii-chan, you're the daddy.

361
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,950
{\i1}Shinozaki-san's the daddy...

362
00:15:31,950 --> 00:15:34,870
And you, Onee-chan...

363
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:37,080
Th-The way this is going...

364
00:15:37,730 --> 00:15:39,580
Onee-chan, you're mommy!

365
00:15:39,580 --> 00:15:40,970
Mommy?

366
00:15:40,970 --> 00:15:44,330
Yeah! He's daddy and you're mommy!

367
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,420
Even if we're just playing... he's my kohai...

368
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:52,680
No! Mommy doesn't call daddy her kohai!

369
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,680
Th-Then...

370
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,770
Takuma-san.

371
00:15:58,770 --> 00:16:00,520
Shiori-san.

372
00:16:01,390 --> 00:16:04,520
Yay! Daddy! Mommy!

373
00:16:06,070 --> 00:16:07,900
{\i1}It's like a vision of the future!

374
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:11,440
{\i1}No! The child is supposed to be 
the star when you play house!

375
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,900
Onee-chan...

376
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:14,490
You'll be kitty!

377
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:19,240
And I'll be mommy. And you're kitty!

378
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,910
I'm... a kitty?

379
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:26,250
I guess Senpai seems like a cat to kids, too.

380
00:16:26,250 --> 00:16:30,540
A cat... I mean, that is 
a member of the family, but...

381
00:16:30,540 --> 00:16:32,880
So I'm an animal, not a human...

382
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,060
Daddy, dinner is ready!

383
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,140
There, there.

384
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,660
Do you want to eat, too, kitty?

385
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:44,140
In that case...

386
00:16:44,850 --> 00:16:46,770
Sit on Daddy's lap.

387
00:16:46,770 --> 00:16:53,590
S-S-Sit... on Daddy's lap?!

388
00:16:59,410 --> 00:17:00,640
No!

389
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,410
You have to sit for real!

390
00:17:02,410 --> 00:17:04,330
If you don't wanna do that, then lie on it.

391
00:17:04,330 --> 00:17:07,830
{\i1}Like lie down?! In his lap?!

392
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,110
{\i1}That'd be sexual harassment 
and abuse of authority!

393
00:17:10,110 --> 00:17:12,880
{\i1}Serious charges!

394
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,430
{\i1}But the child is the star 
when you play house...

395
00:17:16,430 --> 00:17:17,590
{\i1}I should...

396
00:17:22,850 --> 00:17:25,240
{\i1}S-Senpai?!

397
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,850
There you go. Good girl.

398
00:17:27,850 --> 00:17:30,020
Give the kitty pats, Daddy.

399
00:17:30,610 --> 00:17:32,860
{\i1}Patting her while lying around?!

400
00:17:32,860 --> 00:17:37,110
{\i1}Those are couple activities! In broad 
daylight, in front of small children?!

401
00:17:37,470 --> 00:17:40,370
{\i1}But Senpai's a cat right now...

402
00:17:40,370 --> 00:17:43,870
{\i1}But I'm a cat right now...

403
00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:50,070
G-Good girl...

404
00:17:51,210 --> 00:17:55,280
{\i1}Maybe life as a cat... wouldn't be so bad.

405
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Okay, your food is here, kitty.

406
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,350
{\i1}Eating off the floor... 
but I'm a cat... I'm a cat.

407
00:18:03,770 --> 00:18:07,090
{\i1}Senpai is crawling around on the ground...

408
00:18:07,090 --> 00:18:09,230
Yum-meow!

409
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,820
We're done eating, 
so let's have a picnic in the sandbox!

410
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,840
But there's a shark inside, so be careful.

411
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,490
A shark at a picnic?

412
00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:22,790
Be careful now, Mommy.

413
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,830
I'm Mommy!

414
00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:27,250
R-Right! Sorry!

415
00:18:27,250 --> 00:18:30,250
{\i1}Oh, Shinozaki-san...

416
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,220
The castle I made with Daddy and Kitty...

417
00:18:38,220 --> 00:18:41,240
He's not a daddy, and she's not a cat!

418
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,040
And there's no sharks, either!

419
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,720
Sharks...?

420
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,460
Were you watching the whole time?

421
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,230
H-Hell no!

422
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:49,980
Why would I look at Marin?

423
00:18:51,810 --> 00:18:52,840
Tomo-kun!

424
00:18:55,730 --> 00:18:56,860
Shinozaki-san!

425
00:18:57,650 --> 00:19:00,110
If you like a girl, be nice to her.

426
00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:09,950
Sorry... you still mad?

427
00:19:09,950 --> 00:19:10,750
I guess.

428
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,610
I really am sorry. Let's remake it...

429
00:19:16,050 --> 00:19:18,260
And then can I play with you?

430
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:20,490
I guess that's fine.

431
00:19:22,610 --> 00:19:26,130
So, when we play house, who will Tomo-kun be?

432
00:19:26,130 --> 00:19:27,610
Tomo-kun is...

433
00:19:28,140 --> 00:19:29,100
The shark.

434
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:30,310
The shark?!

435
00:19:30,310 --> 00:19:34,150
He's mean, so he has to be 
the shark that I hate.

436
00:19:34,150 --> 00:19:38,400
Sh-Shark... the one she hates...

437
00:19:41,650 --> 00:19:42,910
Bye-bye!

438
00:19:42,910 --> 00:19:44,040
Thank you!

439
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,790
Come again!

440
00:19:45,790 --> 00:19:47,480
Bye-bye!

441
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,910
See you next time!

442
00:19:49,780 --> 00:19:53,180
Well, they were an energetic bunch!

443
00:19:53,180 --> 00:19:54,670
They were...

444
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,620
I don't think I wanna draw 
Kyapicure for a while.

445
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,720
You did draw a lot!

446
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,430
You're a star artist!

447
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,430
What did you think, Shinozaki-san?

448
00:20:08,890 --> 00:20:12,190
Will today be useful for your proposal?

449
00:20:12,190 --> 00:20:14,090
I think so.

450
00:20:14,090 --> 00:20:17,480
It's kind of vague, but I'm starting 
to get a vision for what I want.

451
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,070
I'll work hard so I can win 
most promising rookie!

452
00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:22,860
That's the spirit!

453
00:20:22,860 --> 00:20:26,830
By the way, do you think those two will be okay?

454
00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:28,700
You mean Marin-chan and Tomo-kun?

455
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,960
They had made up
by the time we were leaving.

456
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,210
I'm sure they'll be okay!

457
00:20:34,210 --> 00:20:36,020
I think so, too.

458
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,590
If you like a girl, be nice to her.

459
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:43,340
{\i1}Be nice to the girls you like...

460
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:56,690
{\i1}Shinozaki-san is always nice to me, isn't he?

461
00:20:57,180 --> 00:21:00,440
Is the cap stuck? I can open it for you.

462
00:21:01,690 --> 00:21:04,950
Too hot? Let's turn the AC on.

463
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,730
{\i1}So... so nice...

464
00:21:08,730 --> 00:21:09,530
{\i1}So nice!

465
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:12,450
{\candHD9C4A5

466
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:12,450
S-Senpai?!

467
00:21:12,910 --> 00:21:15,480
Are you okay, Senpai?! What's wrong?!

468
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,910
I'm okay.

469
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,070
Adorable.

470
00:21:17,070 --> 00:21:17,960
Use my handkerchief!

471
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:35,170
Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream

472
00:21:35,170 --> 00:21:40,070
I still can't bring myself
to drink that bitter coffee

473
00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:44,550
So I sneakily toss in
two pinches of a sweet secret

474
00:21:44,550 --> 00:21:48,770
And let it slowly spread throughout

475
00:21:49,990 --> 00:21:53,730
There's a local bakery 
that's only open sometimes

476
00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:58,620
Where I once had some toast that glittered

477
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,120
What is it that makes it so satisfying?

478
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:07,290
Almost like magic

479
00:22:07,710 --> 00:22:12,370
I find myself thinking about that kind of thing

480
00:22:12,370 --> 00:22:17,980
How the small things can be the most precious

481
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:22,770
Deep inside my heart

482
00:22:22,770 --> 00:22:27,170
It's ever so bittersweet

483
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,090
"Just being around you is enough"

484
00:22:32,090 --> 00:22:36,110
Becomes my mantra

485
00:22:36,110 --> 00:22:38,400
Baby like sugar

486
00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:47,660
Baby you're the sugar
