1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Isn't my cat adorable?

2
00:00:13,750 --> 00:00:17,458
She passed away recently, at 12 years old.

3
00:00:20,375 --> 00:00:25,166
I cried more than I did
when my husband of many years died.

4
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:30,458
It made me feel heartless,
like a terrible person.

5
00:00:30,958 --> 00:00:33,083
And I felt even more depressed.

6
00:00:36,416 --> 00:00:39,708
I don't think tears
can truly measure someone's sadness.

7
00:00:40,416 --> 00:00:43,291
Maybe it wasn't that you were
sadder about losing your cat,

8
00:00:43,375 --> 00:00:47,375
but rather that you were coming to terms
with your husband's passing.

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,166
You're right.

10
00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:56,708
I still can't believe he's gone.

11
00:00:57,625 --> 00:01:00,291
It just feels like
he hasn't come back from work.

12
00:01:00,375 --> 00:01:03,500
I keep expecting him
to open the door and say, "I'm home."

13
00:01:05,833 --> 00:01:10,375
I'm scared that if I cry,
it'll make it real.

14
00:01:10,916 --> 00:01:13,458
Do you have any other family?

15
00:01:14,041 --> 00:01:18,333
Being around others
helps at times like this.

16
00:01:18,416 --> 00:01:22,375
To be honest,
I haven't really kept in touch with them.

17
00:01:22,875 --> 00:01:27,416
But lately, my kids
have been visiting with the grandkids,

18
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:29,041
thinking I must be lonely.

19
00:01:29,125 --> 00:01:31,583
And yet, it's bothersome…

20
00:01:31,666 --> 00:01:33,541
No, not bothersome, exactly.

21
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:36,583
I just don't know how to act around them.

22
00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:39,750
Even with family,

23
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:44,291
relationships take practice.

24
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:48,291
Practice…

25
00:01:53,083 --> 00:01:54,583
Practice…

26
00:02:02,791 --> 00:02:04,583
CHEF KENJI GAVE ME YOUR NUMBER.

27
00:02:04,666 --> 00:02:07,166
I'M SORRY I WAS LATE.
YOU FORGOT YOUR COAT.

28
00:02:10,125 --> 00:02:13,458
SORRY FOR MISSING OUR APPOINTMENT
AND REPLYING SO LATE.

29
00:02:16,416 --> 00:02:17,500
HIRO

30
00:02:27,875 --> 00:02:28,833
Hello?

31
00:02:28,916 --> 00:02:30,708
<i>Oh, hello?</i>

32
00:02:31,208 --> 00:02:36,916
<i>Um, we were supposed to meet</i>
<i>at Cielo on Valentine's Day.</i>

33
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,833
Yes.

34
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,958
I know.

35
00:02:40,041 --> 00:02:42,666
<i>Sorry for all the messages.</i>

36
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:47,333
<i>So, I still have the coat you left behind.</i>

37
00:02:47,416 --> 00:02:48,250
Oh.

38
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:53,833
If you don't mind,
I'd like to come get it.

39
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:57,958
<i>Oh, then are you free</i>
<i>on Wednesday around lunchtime?</i>

40
00:02:59,666 --> 00:03:00,500
Yes.

41
00:03:01,083 --> 00:03:03,125
<i>Let's meet on Wednesday at 12:00 p.m.</i>

42
00:03:03,958 --> 00:03:05,208
<i>at Cielo.</i>

43
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:07,458
Okay.

44
00:03:18,791 --> 00:03:23,416
What am I thinking?
There's no way I can go!

45
00:03:24,208 --> 00:03:27,125
Ugh, I'm such an idiot!

46
00:03:29,083 --> 00:03:30,958
JERK

47
00:03:35,208 --> 00:03:36,166
<i>Yes?</i>

48
00:03:36,250 --> 00:03:39,375
Oof, you sound grumpy from the get-go.

49
00:03:39,875 --> 00:03:43,208
What is it? It's my day off, you know.

50
00:03:43,708 --> 00:03:45,208
Well, uh,

51
00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:49,166
I was wondering
if you'd like to practice tomorrow.

52
00:03:50,541 --> 00:03:52,250
Practice?

53
00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:55,708
<i>How about we go out for lunch?</i>

54
00:03:56,291 --> 00:03:57,333
What?

55
00:03:57,833 --> 00:04:00,333
I think it's better if we eat separately.

56
00:04:00,833 --> 00:04:01,750
<i>Oh.</i>

57
00:04:01,833 --> 00:04:04,541
There's a restaurant
I've been curious about.

58
00:04:04,625 --> 00:04:07,000
I finally managed to get a table.

59
00:04:08,125 --> 00:04:09,833
<i>It's called Cielo.</i>

60
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:11,416
Cielo?

61
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,666
<i>-I'll hang up if you're not interested.</i>
-No, no!

62
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:15,416
Sounds great.

63
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,000
Cielo it is!

64
00:04:17,083 --> 00:04:19,291
<i>Let's practice, yeah!</i>

65
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:46,208
BONBON SAKURA

66
00:05:03,833 --> 00:05:05,416
Are you ready to order?

67
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,666
Oh, I'll have the chef's choice.

68
00:05:10,291 --> 00:05:11,583
The same for you?

69
00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:15,125
-That's all.
-Certainly.

70
00:05:15,208 --> 00:05:16,375
Thank you.

71
00:05:20,375 --> 00:05:21,208
Right?

72
00:05:21,833 --> 00:05:24,000
What do you mean, "Right?"

73
00:05:24,083 --> 00:05:27,375
Don't you feel comfortable
with me in front of you?

74
00:05:28,291 --> 00:05:33,041
This face is the only one in the world
you can look directly at, after all.

75
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:36,833
Sure, but it's not a face I <i>want </i>to see.

76
00:05:38,333 --> 00:05:44,416
Then picture the man you said you like.

77
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Excuse me.

78
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,625
I need to use the restroom.

79
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,125
I'm not even giving a presentation.
Why am I sweating so much?

80
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:15,666
Can I

81
00:07:16,916 --> 00:07:19,291
practice one more time?

82
00:07:22,125 --> 00:07:22,958
Sure.

83
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,208
I don't mind.

84
00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:38,875
Excuse me.

85
00:07:40,125 --> 00:07:42,666
What am I doing?

86
00:07:52,083 --> 00:07:53,666
Sorry about that.

87
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:56,666
I thought maybe you'd left.

88
00:07:56,750 --> 00:07:58,250
Of course not.

89
00:07:58,333 --> 00:08:00,291
You kept disappearing though.

90
00:08:00,375 --> 00:08:01,666
Yeah, well,

91
00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:03,750
I have my reasons.

92
00:08:04,916 --> 00:08:05,875
Mr. Fujiwara.

93
00:08:06,833 --> 00:08:08,583
-Sorry.
-My apologies.

94
00:08:08,666 --> 00:08:10,333
-Sorry for startling you.
-It's fine.

95
00:08:10,416 --> 00:08:12,750
-I was just with your father.
-Huh?

96
00:08:14,791 --> 00:08:16,083
Good afternoon, sir.

97
00:08:18,833 --> 00:08:22,083
This is Mr. Sasaki
from Quick Mart Holdings.

98
00:08:22,166 --> 00:08:25,250
Nice to meet you. I'm Sosuke Fujiwara
from Futago Confectionery.

99
00:08:25,333 --> 00:08:26,291
I'm Sasaki.

100
00:08:27,208 --> 00:08:28,458
Pleasure to meet you.

101
00:08:33,458 --> 00:08:34,625
Oh!

102
00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:37,250
Nice to meet you, sir.

103
00:08:37,333 --> 00:08:39,208
Nice to meet you.

104
00:08:39,291 --> 00:08:42,500
She's currently working
as my assistant at Le Sauveur--

105
00:08:42,583 --> 00:08:43,500
Mr. Sasaki.

106
00:08:44,083 --> 00:08:46,500
-Thank you for your time today.
-Likewise.

107
00:08:57,791 --> 00:09:01,208
I'm sorry. Did I overstep?

108
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:03,416
Not at all. I appreciate it.

109
00:09:14,083 --> 00:09:19,375
Who knew having a meal
would be so hard for us?

110
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,041
I know.

111
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,291
Who'd want to go on a date

112
00:09:25,708 --> 00:09:27,166
with someone like me?

113
00:09:30,291 --> 00:09:31,333
Well,

114
00:09:32,833 --> 00:09:36,333
when you're with someone you like,
those things wouldn't matter, right?

115
00:09:36,833 --> 00:09:40,125
Just sitting quietly together
like this is enough.

116
00:09:40,666 --> 00:09:42,125
Maybe, but…

117
00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:47,541
Nah. It'd still be too hard.

118
00:09:48,291 --> 00:09:50,708
If, unlike you,

119
00:09:51,208 --> 00:09:56,583
they were handsome,
kind, and smelled nice,

120
00:09:57,208 --> 00:09:58,750
I'd be so nervous.

121
00:10:00,041 --> 00:10:02,416
W-Wait, what?

122
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:03,833
Hold on.

123
00:10:04,833 --> 00:10:08,875
So, compared to the guy you like,

124
00:10:08,958 --> 00:10:11,750
I'm ugly,

125
00:10:12,833 --> 00:10:13,916
unkind,

126
00:10:14,916 --> 00:10:16,291
and smelly?

127
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:17,875
Obviously.

128
00:10:18,375 --> 00:10:19,833
I'm not smelly!

129
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:23,708
Maybe a little.

130
00:10:23,791 --> 00:10:24,666
What?

131
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:28,000
I'm not smelly. Come on!

132
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,541
Maybe that person also
has sides you don't know about.

133
00:10:32,041 --> 00:10:36,666
Seeing him from afar might be different
from meeting him in person.

134
00:10:37,833 --> 00:10:40,625
Hmm. You think so?

135
00:10:44,958 --> 00:10:45,791
Hey.

136
00:10:46,458 --> 00:10:47,583
You've got something.

137
00:10:48,083 --> 00:10:48,916
Hm?

138
00:10:51,375 --> 00:10:52,208
Here.

139
00:10:53,875 --> 00:10:54,791
Right here.

140
00:11:12,208 --> 00:11:13,250
Oh, right.

141
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:16,250
Sorry, are you okay?

142
00:11:17,375 --> 00:11:18,208
Absolutely…

143
00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:20,875
not okay.

144
00:11:28,958 --> 00:11:31,125
This sure isn't easy.

145
00:11:46,458 --> 00:11:49,958
Doesn't this feel like a date scene
from a romance series?

146
00:11:50,625 --> 00:11:53,000
You skip the fancy restaurant

147
00:11:53,583 --> 00:11:56,333
and end up eating burgers
in the car together.

148
00:11:56,416 --> 00:12:00,041
But somehow, they taste even better.

149
00:12:00,625 --> 00:12:05,375
It feels like it's just you two,
alone in the world.

150
00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:07,583
It wasn't like that.
Don't stretch the truth.

151
00:12:07,666 --> 00:12:11,000
And before you knew it,
you'd fallen for her.

152
00:12:11,083 --> 00:12:11,916
Huh?

153
00:12:12,416 --> 00:12:15,041
She's already in love with someone else.

154
00:12:15,125 --> 00:12:17,000
That's why we're practicing.

155
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:20,625
I really do hope
she ends up with that person.

156
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:23,250
Wait, so it's a love triangle?

157
00:12:23,333 --> 00:12:24,333
Hey.

158
00:12:24,416 --> 00:12:28,500
Wow, this is getting exciting!

159
00:12:32,125 --> 00:12:37,416
"If our liqueur is truly necessary,
I'd like to meet the new president."

160
00:12:38,375 --> 00:12:40,958
It sounds polite,
but it's basically a threat.

161
00:12:41,041 --> 00:12:42,375
What should we do?

162
00:12:44,791 --> 00:12:46,250
Does it have to be me?

163
00:12:46,875 --> 00:12:48,041
Naoko Hosen.

164
00:12:48,791 --> 00:12:50,541
She's the proprietress.

165
00:12:55,791 --> 00:12:58,166
Oh, boy.

166
00:13:03,291 --> 00:13:07,708
Sorry to interrupt, Chief.
I just received this letter.

167
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:09,458
What is it?

168
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:15,750
What can you tell me
about Gabriel Blossom?

169
00:13:16,666 --> 00:13:20,333
I hear their president's
pretty tough to deal with.

170
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:23,500
She's strict and intimidating,

171
00:13:23,583 --> 00:13:28,750
and when choosing partners,
she grills you like in a job interview.

172
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:33,458
I only heard about her from Chef Kenji.

173
00:13:33,541 --> 00:13:38,375
Fail to answer her questions,
and she won't sign with you.

174
00:13:38,458 --> 00:13:40,583
It's like an actual interview.

175
00:13:40,666 --> 00:13:44,041
She asks about history, world geography,

176
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:46,958
and even environmental issues, apparently.

177
00:13:49,250 --> 00:13:51,083
Don't worry, everyone.

178
00:13:51,166 --> 00:13:54,416
He has the credentials
of a top university graduate.

179
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,208
Does it have to be
Gabriel Blossom's liqueur?

180
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:05,208
-Yes.
-Yes.

181
00:14:09,875 --> 00:14:12,291
Got it. Thank you.

182
00:14:37,541 --> 00:14:39,791
CIELO 12:00 P.M.

183
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,416
Chef Kenji,

184
00:14:47,666 --> 00:14:49,375
wish me luck.

185
00:14:50,625 --> 00:14:52,708
I'll try to be brave.

186
00:14:57,208 --> 00:14:59,625
TABLE MANNERS FOR ADULTS

187
00:15:21,333 --> 00:15:23,458
The only natural
spring water liqueur in Tokyo.

188
00:15:23,541 --> 00:15:26,333
It was founded in 1965…

189
00:15:31,791 --> 00:15:36,416
WILL YOU COME TO GABRIEL BLOSSOM TOMORROW
WITH ME? YOU'RE FREE, RIGHT?

190
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,875
I'M NOT. I'VE GOT PLANS.

191
00:15:39,958 --> 00:15:41,958
THAT'S PRETTY COLD.

192
00:15:56,416 --> 00:15:58,750
Oh, nice color.

193
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:00,708
Yeah, so bright.

194
00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:05,291
I thought I bought a skirt.

195
00:16:06,625 --> 00:16:08,916
I was wondering when I'd ever wear this.

196
00:16:11,458 --> 00:16:12,416
This one?

197
00:16:13,291 --> 00:16:14,250
Or this?

198
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,083
This one?

199
00:16:18,916 --> 00:16:21,458
-Welcome.
-I have a reservation under Takada.

200
00:16:21,541 --> 00:16:23,750
We've been expecting you. Right this way.

201
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:50,875
What are you doing?

202
00:16:50,958 --> 00:16:52,250
Mr. Fujiwara?

203
00:16:52,333 --> 00:16:53,833
Come with me.

204
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
What?

205
00:16:56,541 --> 00:16:59,458
Let's go to Gabriel Blossom together.

206
00:17:00,708 --> 00:17:02,916
I told you, I'm not going.

207
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,541
You're free, aren't you?

208
00:17:04,625 --> 00:17:07,875
I'm not. I have plans.

209
00:17:11,041 --> 00:17:12,083
Get in, quickly!

210
00:17:12,166 --> 00:17:13,125
Huh?

211
00:17:13,208 --> 00:17:15,041
You're holding up traffic.

212
00:17:17,708 --> 00:17:18,708
Hurry!

213
00:17:20,916 --> 00:17:22,750
Ugh, fine!

214
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:34,958
You can't just drag me along like this.

215
00:17:35,041 --> 00:17:38,833
Sorry. I just couldn't go alone.

216
00:17:38,916 --> 00:17:40,916
There's no one else I can ask.

217
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,625
-What about Chief Motomi?
-She scares me.

218
00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:45,666
-Your secretary?
-He's at HQ today.

219
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:48,208
Why today of all days?

220
00:17:48,291 --> 00:17:50,750
Aren't you happy to help Le Sauveur?

221
00:17:50,833 --> 00:17:53,166
Still, why today of all days?!

222
00:17:53,250 --> 00:17:57,416
Are your plans really more important
than Rainbow Palette's crisis?

223
00:17:58,708 --> 00:17:59,708
<i>Ssagaji</i>.

224
00:18:00,208 --> 00:18:02,125
-What?
-Pull over for a moment.

225
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:07,625
You want me to go instead?

226
00:18:08,125 --> 00:18:11,750
<i>I know I could cancel over the phone,</i>

227
00:18:12,666 --> 00:18:16,875
but I've already stood him up once,
so I feel terrible.

228
00:18:18,541 --> 00:18:21,250
I know it's a lot to ask…

229
00:18:22,958 --> 00:18:23,916
Well,

230
00:18:24,541 --> 00:18:27,958
that would be overstepping
into your personal life, so I can't.

231
00:18:28,041 --> 00:18:30,791
You're the only one I can ask.

232
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,416
<i>Please, Doctor.</i>

233
00:18:35,416 --> 00:18:39,125
I just have to go say hello
and pick up the coat, right?

234
00:18:41,583 --> 00:18:44,250
What's he like? How will I recognize him?

235
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:46,208
<i>You'll know when you see him.</i>

236
00:18:47,458 --> 00:18:49,000
He's handsome

237
00:18:49,666 --> 00:18:54,541
and probably smells amazing
even without showering for days.

238
00:18:55,958 --> 00:18:58,666
<i>You don't meet people like him often,</i>

239
00:18:58,750 --> 00:19:00,541
<i>so you'll know right away.</i>

240
00:19:02,375 --> 00:19:06,375
It seems like your heart
is starting to open up to me, Darth Vader.

241
00:19:06,458 --> 00:19:09,041
As thanks for showing
your face for the first time,

242
00:19:09,125 --> 00:19:10,833
I'll go in your place.

243
00:19:10,916 --> 00:19:13,750
Really? Thank you so much!

244
00:19:14,916 --> 00:19:15,750
Oh.

245
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:20,541
<i>Ssagaji</i>.

246
00:19:21,833 --> 00:19:22,708
<i>Cheap.</i>

247
00:19:23,208 --> 00:19:24,333
"Cheap"?

248
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:28,916
<i>Ssagajiro.</i>

249
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:31,375
<i>To go buy.</i>

250
00:19:31,458 --> 00:19:32,458
That scared me.

251
00:19:35,416 --> 00:19:36,958
Let's get going.

252
00:19:37,041 --> 00:19:38,875
Is everything okay?

253
00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:41,000
Wait.

254
00:19:42,125 --> 00:19:44,166
Are you wearing makeup?

255
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:46,708
What if I'm not okay?

256
00:19:46,791 --> 00:19:51,250
You rushed me earlier, saying,
"Get in! You're holding up traffic!"

257
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:53,333
Now you're acting all concerned.

258
00:19:59,916 --> 00:20:01,166
Okay, then. Let's go.

259
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:35,458
No way.

260
00:20:36,833 --> 00:20:39,083
May I help you, ma'am?

261
00:20:39,166 --> 00:20:40,125
No, uh…

262
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:51,458
Okay.

263
00:21:13,250 --> 00:21:16,208
DR. IRENE: I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T MAKE IT AFTER ALL.

264
00:21:19,708 --> 00:21:20,541
What's wrong?

265
00:21:20,625 --> 00:21:25,708
What do I do? This is the second time now.

266
00:21:25,791 --> 00:21:28,250
He's going to hate me.

267
00:21:28,333 --> 00:21:29,666
What happened?

268
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:31,875
Didn't you cancel earlier?

269
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:34,250
This is all your fault!

270
00:21:34,333 --> 00:21:37,833
What now?
How are you going to fix this?!

271
00:21:37,916 --> 00:21:39,791
Hey! Your phone's ringing.

272
00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:41,166
HIRO

273
00:21:44,541 --> 00:21:48,500
If it's someone that important to you,
you should've given them a call.

274
00:21:53,791 --> 00:21:55,625
Please do it properly.

275
00:21:56,416 --> 00:22:00,208
If we lose this deal, I'll be furious.

276
00:22:00,291 --> 00:22:01,916
Absolutely furious!

277
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:03,666
Oh.

278
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:05,083
Take a look.

279
00:22:05,583 --> 00:22:06,666
It's like snow.

280
00:22:06,750 --> 00:22:07,583
Huh?

281
00:22:10,958 --> 00:22:12,375
Wow.

282
00:22:13,708 --> 00:22:14,958
It's beautiful.

283
00:23:05,208 --> 00:23:06,416
A cedar ball!

284
00:23:10,833 --> 00:23:13,833
GABRIEL BLOSSOM

285
00:23:29,583 --> 00:23:31,291
Please wait here.

286
00:23:44,625 --> 00:23:46,375
Sorry to have kept you waiting.

287
00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:53,125
Thank you very much
for coming all this way.

288
00:23:54,291 --> 00:23:55,958
Please, have a seat.

289
00:23:59,875 --> 00:24:01,250
I'm from Futago Confectionery…

290
00:24:03,166 --> 00:24:06,791
I'm Sosuke Fujiwara from Le Sauveur.

291
00:24:06,875 --> 00:24:10,458
Pleased to meet you. I'm Kiyomi Hosen.

292
00:24:14,416 --> 00:24:20,291
You were probably expecting
to see my mother.

293
00:24:20,375 --> 00:24:22,208
Uh, yes.

294
00:24:23,541 --> 00:24:24,750
Is she here?

295
00:24:26,958 --> 00:24:28,541
I'm very sorry.

296
00:24:30,208 --> 00:24:32,458
My mother, who founded this place,

297
00:24:34,125 --> 00:24:35,500
passed away.

298
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:36,958
What?

299
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:39,083
About two years ago.

300
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,625
She left two instructions in her will.

301
00:24:50,750 --> 00:24:51,958
First,

302
00:24:52,916 --> 00:24:58,041
when a business partner changes president,
request them to come at once.

303
00:24:59,583 --> 00:25:04,375
You see, she had
this peculiar, difficult test.

304
00:25:04,875 --> 00:25:10,708
That's why we brazenly asked you
to come all this way.

305
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:19,125
The second instruction

306
00:25:20,166 --> 00:25:25,416
was to not tell anyone about her death

307
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:27,666
for at least three years.

308
00:25:28,416 --> 00:25:32,083
Otherwise, rumors would spread quickly

309
00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:36,125
that the flavor has changed
or that the place has gone downhill,

310
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,666
even if nothing's different.

311
00:25:40,750 --> 00:25:42,875
So we were told to wait three years

312
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:47,916
before announcing that
she had passed away.

313
00:25:48,875 --> 00:25:51,250
If no one said anything by then,

314
00:25:51,333 --> 00:25:53,000
it would mean that we had won.

315
00:25:55,333 --> 00:25:56,500
Impressive.

316
00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:01,333
But frankly, I'm exhausted.

317
00:26:01,416 --> 00:26:06,125
I'm thinking of closing down
Gabriel Blossom.

318
00:26:08,250 --> 00:26:09,375
What?

319
00:26:09,458 --> 00:26:11,125
It's hard, isn't it?

320
00:26:11,875 --> 00:26:14,291
Succeeding a great founder, that is.

321
00:26:15,791 --> 00:26:16,958
It feels like…

322
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,541
fighting a battle you can't win.

323
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:24,250
At best, it's a draw.

324
00:26:27,916 --> 00:26:29,458
Perhaps

325
00:26:30,250 --> 00:26:34,125
you feel the same way at Le Sauveur now?

326
00:26:36,666 --> 00:26:37,791
That's true.

327
00:26:39,125 --> 00:26:39,958
But--

328
00:26:40,041 --> 00:26:43,291
I think I've grown tired of
dedicating my life

329
00:26:44,958 --> 00:26:47,208
to preserving tradition.

330
00:26:52,958 --> 00:26:53,791
Um…

331
00:26:56,625 --> 00:26:58,500
I think the flavor you changed recently

332
00:26:59,833 --> 00:27:01,625
is excellent too.

333
00:27:03,250 --> 00:27:04,083
Huh?

334
00:27:04,166 --> 00:27:08,208
It's different
from your mother's recipe, isn't it?

335
00:27:09,291 --> 00:27:10,291
Most likely,

336
00:27:11,958 --> 00:27:16,708
you altered how the aroma's extracted.

337
00:27:20,083 --> 00:27:24,166
You noticed that subtle difference?

338
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:26,958
Yes.

339
00:27:27,041 --> 00:27:30,416
Compared to the original,

340
00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:32,333
I think the new flavor

341
00:27:32,958 --> 00:27:36,666
is richer and even tastier.

342
00:27:39,916 --> 00:27:43,250
Do you really think so?

343
00:27:44,083 --> 00:27:44,916
Yes.

344
00:27:45,416 --> 00:27:46,541
It's tangier, and…

345
00:27:47,291 --> 00:27:49,333
Hmm, how should I put it?

346
00:27:51,958 --> 00:27:54,458
It tastes like spring has arrived.

347
00:28:04,291 --> 00:28:06,125
That makes me happy.

348
00:28:09,833 --> 00:28:11,750
I'm so glad.

349
00:28:13,125 --> 00:28:15,875
Even though I knew it was the right move,

350
00:28:17,416 --> 00:28:23,083
changing my mother's recipe still made me

351
00:28:24,458 --> 00:28:26,125
feel guilty.

352
00:28:28,666 --> 00:28:30,166
It was so painful.

353
00:28:33,666 --> 00:28:39,500
Maybe I'll keep going
with my own approach a little longer.

354
00:29:10,583 --> 00:29:12,291
You had a petal on you.

355
00:29:19,708 --> 00:29:22,666
What do you think that flower is?

356
00:29:24,541 --> 00:29:25,666
Huh?

357
00:29:27,166 --> 00:29:30,916
My mother used to enjoy
asking this little riddle.

358
00:29:33,375 --> 00:29:37,750
Of course, they're not…
cherry blossoms, are they?

359
00:29:38,250 --> 00:29:42,416
Most cherry blossoms have no scent,
so you can't draw flavor from them.

360
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:44,916
Right.

361
00:29:47,291 --> 00:29:48,916
Um…

362
00:29:49,875 --> 00:29:51,916
The answer is…

363
00:29:52,916 --> 00:29:55,041
Apricot.

364
00:29:55,583 --> 00:29:57,541
-Huh? What?
-The answer is?

365
00:29:59,791 --> 00:30:01,083
Well…

366
00:30:03,625 --> 00:30:05,458
She'll tell you.

367
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,208
So, what is it?

368
00:30:12,708 --> 00:30:14,416
Well, uh…

369
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:19,541
Surely you didn't order our liqueur
without knowing its key ingredient?

370
00:30:20,375 --> 00:30:22,250
Uh, no…

371
00:30:23,083 --> 00:30:24,125
Here's a hint.

372
00:30:24,625 --> 00:30:27,750
It's on the bottle of liqueur
you're holding.

373
00:30:32,958 --> 00:30:35,708
A-pri-cot.

374
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:40,291
A-pri-cot.

375
00:30:41,541 --> 00:30:44,375
A-pri-cot?

376
00:30:45,416 --> 00:30:47,375
You pass!

377
00:30:49,541 --> 00:30:54,083
So, what's the name
of the chocolate shop you're opening?

378
00:30:54,166 --> 00:30:56,541
Oh, it's Le Sauveur.

379
00:31:00,041 --> 00:31:01,166
Come here.

380
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,958
To thank you for your help,

381
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:15,750
would you be our very first customer?

382
00:31:27,791 --> 00:31:29,041
Wow!

383
00:31:34,208 --> 00:31:35,041
<i>Oh…</i>

384
00:31:35,708 --> 00:31:37,916
So, they weren't cherry blossoms.

385
00:31:38,875 --> 00:31:41,333
They were apricot blossoms.

386
00:31:42,791 --> 00:31:45,833
The taste of the chocolate
Chef Kenji gave me as a child

387
00:31:45,916 --> 00:31:50,041
became an unforgettable memory for me.

388
00:31:50,541 --> 00:31:56,375
For a kid, a gift of chocolate
is the ultimate happiness.

389
00:31:58,375 --> 00:31:59,416
Now then,

390
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,958
since it wasn't Mr. Fujiwara,
but his staff member who got it right…

391
00:32:10,250 --> 00:32:12,791
I've decided. You pass!

392
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:15,291
We're truly grateful.

393
00:32:15,375 --> 00:32:17,291
Thank you very much!

394
00:32:17,791 --> 00:32:24,375
I'll also support
the new traditions of Le Sauveur.

395
00:32:36,958 --> 00:32:37,958
Thank you.

396
00:32:38,625 --> 00:32:41,708
I knew bringing
a devoted fan was the right call.

397
00:32:44,250 --> 00:32:45,625
I'm glad it worked out,

398
00:32:46,458 --> 00:32:51,458
but thanks to you,
my love life's a complete mess.

399
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,208
Oh, is that so?

400
00:32:56,083 --> 00:32:58,000
If there's anything I can do…

401
00:32:58,083 --> 00:32:59,500
There isn't.

402
00:33:06,166 --> 00:33:07,000
Um…

403
00:33:08,166 --> 00:33:09,541
But earlier,

404
00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:11,916
I realized…

405
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,125
you have an incredible gift, Hana.

406
00:33:17,625 --> 00:33:20,125
You have the ability
to convey your true feelings.

407
00:33:20,208 --> 00:33:21,916
Just without eye contact.

408
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,666
Even sitting next to you, I was moved.

409
00:33:26,875 --> 00:33:27,791
What?

410
00:33:28,541 --> 00:33:29,375
Uh…

411
00:33:29,458 --> 00:33:35,666
So, if you tell him how you feel,
I'm sure he'll understand.

412
00:33:37,875 --> 00:33:40,875
As long as they're not a <i>ssagaji </i>like me,

413
00:33:42,208 --> 00:33:43,208
but someone good.

414
00:33:50,083 --> 00:33:51,833
I wonder if I can.

415
00:33:53,708 --> 00:33:55,000
<i>Gobaek.</i>

416
00:34:02,125 --> 00:34:07,583
In our last session,
we shared our feelings of loss.

417
00:34:08,333 --> 00:34:14,250
This time, I'd like for us
to share the positive feelings of love.

418
00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:18,708
Mr. Luxury Tuna.

419
00:34:18,791 --> 00:34:21,541
If you've felt love recently,

420
00:34:21,625 --> 00:34:23,666
would you like to share?

421
00:34:32,208 --> 00:34:34,958
Feelings of love…

422
00:34:47,458 --> 00:34:51,208
I've never felt anything like that.

423
00:34:51,291 --> 00:34:54,375
What? No way! Really?

424
00:34:54,458 --> 00:34:55,875
Poor thing.

425
00:34:56,375 --> 00:34:57,541
Are you okay?

426
00:34:59,416 --> 00:35:00,750
Thanks for today.

427
00:35:00,833 --> 00:35:03,791
Mr. Marumaru,
will you be at the next session?

428
00:35:03,875 --> 00:35:05,083
Of course.

429
00:35:05,166 --> 00:35:06,083
Great. Me too.

430
00:35:06,166 --> 00:35:07,458
Ms. Lucky Cat.

431
00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:10,708
Please take this, if you'd like.

432
00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:16,916
I thought chocolate might help
spark conversations with your grandkids.

433
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,916
For kids, a gift of chocolate
is the ultimate happiness.

434
00:35:22,666 --> 00:35:25,666
Please enjoy them
when they visit next time.

435
00:35:26,208 --> 00:35:30,458
They're Le Sauveur chocolates,
with seven different flavors.

436
00:35:32,791 --> 00:35:34,125
Le Sauveur?

437
00:35:36,125 --> 00:35:38,416
Oh! If that's a bother--

438
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:40,708
Not at all. I'll gladly accept.

439
00:35:42,250 --> 00:35:45,458
For the kids and for me,

440
00:35:46,041 --> 00:35:48,791
I'm sure this will be a wonderful gift.

441
00:35:48,875 --> 00:35:52,000
Thank you. I truly appreciate it.

442
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:53,166
I'm so glad.

443
00:36:09,375 --> 00:36:10,791
<i>Gobaek.</i>

444
00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:14,875
<i>Confession.</i>

445
00:37:10,750 --> 00:37:12,375
Uh, um…

446
00:37:12,458 --> 00:37:15,958
Excuse me.
C-Can I talk to you for a moment?

447
00:37:19,250 --> 00:37:22,083
I'm sorry I missed
our appointment the other day.

448
00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:26,625
I'm really sorry
for standing you up again and again.

449
00:37:28,083 --> 00:37:29,041
Um…

450
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,708
There's something I want to tell you.

451
00:37:35,250 --> 00:37:38,083
I…

452
00:37:47,833 --> 00:37:50,458
For a long, long time…

453
00:37:53,250 --> 00:37:55,041
I've always…

454
00:37:56,208 --> 00:37:58,250
I've always liked you!

455
00:37:58,333 --> 00:37:59,166
Huh?

456
00:38:46,708 --> 00:38:48,625
What do I do?

457
00:42:53,083 --> 00:42:55,958
