Original subtitles

- A photo… - Want me to take it?

Okay. Ready?

Say cheese!

You're so cute, Ms. Sanako.

I'm glad I was able to come today.

I got to see you in a yukata too.

How is work? You seem really busy lately.

I'm going to be a part of Director Kakuma's new project.

- So I've been busy preparing for that. - Oh, the director?

I like him. He's very straightforward.

It's like I'm being tested, and it's exciting.

- Mr. Yamada-- - Taiyo. Please.

Taiyo,

you always give your best, huh?

Ms. Sanako.

Happy Birthday!

Taiyo!

- Thank you. - It looks great on you. You're the best!

Can I take a photo?

Come on.

Sanako Moriwaka, 30 years old.

Spending my birthday with a boyfriend for the first time in my life.

Today will be the best day of my life, I'm sure.

My smartphone!

It won't turn on.

Maybe it broke…

Today will be the best day of my life, I'm sure.

That was so sudden!

- It really was. - Yeah.

- Are you okay, Ms. Sanako? - I'm okay.

- You're shivering! - This is from… excitement.

- You look pale too. - I'm naturally pale.

Today should be the best day of my life…

and yet…

You're not okay at all.

Water…

Ms. Sanako, here's some water.

Thank you very much.

What an eventful birthday.

I will sleep for exactly one hour,

so please wake me up.

My birthday isn't over yet.

Okay. Understood. I'll be responsible for waking you up.

Oh!

Ms. Sanako! Ms. Sanako! Ms. Sanako!

Has it been an hour?

Sorry, it's been nine hours.

My meeting!

Let's celebrate your birthday on another day.

Oh, wait!

Your fever…

I think you should take the day off.

- My phone… - Yes!

It won't turn on. I'll take care of it.

Understood.

I, Asabuki, will pass on the message.

- Boss. - Yes?

Ms. Moriwaka has caught a cold and is taking the day off.

Really? Ms. Moriwaka? That's unusual.

Her younger brother called.

I thought Ms. Moriwaka lived alone?

"She kinda, like, caught a cold. And she has a fever.

Sorry 'bout that," he said.

They don't sound related at all.

That way of speaking sounds kind of familiar.

"Sorry 'bout that"?

Next year, in 2020,

we will be releasing three

new scents in the Paradise Bath series.

- These? - They'll be tropical. Yes.

- Very nice. - Excuse me.

This one.

These will be particularly effective

on people with stiff shoulders

- and sensitivity to cold. - I see.

Oh, sorry.

Can you bring samples of the new product from sales?

Okay.

Oh, can you hold the door for me?

Thank you.

DAILY FINANCIAL TIMES

I'm sorry. Please excuse me.

Hello. This is Minase.

- Hello, Ms. Oriko. - How have you been?

I got a message from an unknown address.

And when I opened it, I found Tenten's sales data for the first half of the year.

What?!

But I must say, your sales have dropped a lot, huh? I'm surprised.

It'd be bad if this gets out, right?

I will be there right away!

Until I get there,

please don't tell anyone! Please! Thank you!

Sorry, something's come up.

The person from earlier will be right with you.

SENIOR MANAGING DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

- How long is he going to make us wait? - Manager Yoshimura…

I'll tell him you said that.

- Take care of that by today, please. - Yes.

- I'm counting on you. - Yes.

Our sales data was leaked outside the company, huh?

We're very sorry.

The employee who was informed handled it well

and stopped it from spreading.

- What was the cause? - We are investigating.

It was possibly taken from the company's shared folder.

Only a limited number of people have access to it, though.

And who are those people?

People in management, like us,

and the accounting department.

I'm here.

Oh, that was close!

I'm okay, I'm okay.

Please, sit over there and relax.

- I'm a little worried. - Trust me.

You look great.

This feels like…

We're like newlyweds.

Enjoy.

- It's good. - I'm so glad!

Let me try.

- Is it a delivery? - Don't worry, I'll get it.

Huh? Mayu?

- Ms. Asabuki? - What should we do?

Ms. Moriwaka? Are you home?

Ms. Moriwaka?

Did something happen? Ms. Moriwaka!

- Ms. Moriwaka! Please answer us! - Ms. Sanako.

Shush!

- It's an emergency. Call the police! - Yes!

Ms. Moriwaka, you're okay?

I'm sorry. My smartphone broke.

What brings you here?

We have a big problem.

But don't worry, I believe in you.

- What are you talking about? - We can't talk about it here.

Hey, wait!

It's a mess. Give me a second.

It's not very clean, but…

No worries. Excuse us!

Sorry, can I use your bathroom?

- No! - I can't?

- It's not clean. - I don't mind.

Sorry, excuse me.

Thank you.

Where did Taiyo go?

What a nice place.

It's simple and functional.

It's very you, Ms. Moriwaka.

They're both mine.

I was hungry.

I understand. I get that way sometimes too.

Ms. Asabuki.

I'll make some tea, so sit here and look straight ahead.

- Straight ahead? - Yes, look straight ahead

and stay still as you wait.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Sorry for coming all of a sudden,

but the office is in big trouble.

Big trouble?

Did you hear something?

- A poltergeist? - It must be the stuff I put away.

So what happened?

Basically,

Tenten's sales data for the first half of the year was leaked.

The sales data is kept in the company's shared folder.

How did it get leaked?

That's the problem.

Yesterday, at 21:48,

the history shows that you opened the shared folder.

- Me? - Yes.

I did not go to the office on Sunday.

But someone used your password

and took the documents, that's for sure.

Password…

Last week, they said they were updating the computer system

and had us submit our passwords to General Affairs, right?

We'll be updating the system,

so please submit your current password.

Next week, once the update is complete,

please reset your passwords.

There's a possibility someone used that information.

Ms. Moriwaka.

What were you doing last night?

Ms. Asabuki, you suspect her?

No. I'm looking for proof or witnesses

that can prove Ms. Moriwaka's innocence.

Last night…

Ready?

That will be difficult.

Last night, I was alone at home.

What?

If you check my computer's access logs,

you will find proof

that I didn't use my work computer last night.

That won't be enough, though.

First of all, why was Ms. Moriwaka's password used?

Did someone just need access

to the shared folder and randomly used Ms. Moriwaka's name?

Or were they trying to get Ms. Moriwaka in trouble?

Wait, wait, wait…

Why? Why didn't you tell them?

You have a witness right here.

We saw fireworks together and came here.

- Don't tell anyone. - Why?

Because it won't benefit you in any way.

If it can prove your innocence, what more can I ask for?

While we're at it, we can tell everyone we're dating.

Don't worry about that.

There must be other ways to prove my innocence.

Am I that unreliable?

- That's not what I'm saying. - Please, rely on me.

It's okay. I didn't do anything, after all.

The leak…

So basically, data that shouldn't get out was leaked, right?

That's right.

But I can't believe Ms. Moriwaka would do that.

- I know. - It's unbelievable.

What do you think?

Just between us,

I heard Ms. Moriwaka is switching to Sunlife Cosmetics.

- Seriously? - Our rival company?

- She'll be getting double the pay. - Wow!

That's not true.

Oh, Taiyo Yamada. Want coffee?

Ms. Moriwaka is--

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh, good morning, Ms. Moriwaka.

- Want some coffee? - No, thank you.

I see.

- It's good, isn't it? - Yeah.

It's okay, it's okay.

They say rumors only last 75 days.

USERNAME PASSWORD

But who would do such a thing?

And why use my password?

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Ms. Moriwaka, we've been asking around in search of the culprit, but to no avail.

Nobody saw anything, apparently.

Barely anybody was at the office on Sunday night.

I appreciate it, but it's really okay.

I don't want to suspect my coworkers.

So you're okay being falsely accused?

That's not what I mean.

I don't want it to become a big deal because of me.

It's not just for you.

If people keep treating you like the culprit,

- it'll affect the accounting department. - Yes.

I'm sorry about that.

There's no reason for you to apologize.

It's absolutely unfair that someone used your name to do bad things.

It frustrates us too, you know.

Let's find the real culprit.

As long as it doesn't affect our regular duties.

- Of course. - I'm getting fired up.

I might just finish my work faster than usual.

Um, if I may ask…

Why do you two believe me?

Because there's no way you'd do that.

Suspecting you is a waste of time, and time is money.

Don't mind what everybody says.

They say rumors only last 49 days.

That's for funerals.

But…

Thank you.

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

Did you hear about Accounting?

What makes it worse is that the data was from the time our sales went down.

Exactly.

That was right when Sunlife Cosmetics came out

with the Puru-Tsuya series that sold like crazy.

So we heard that you're ending our contract this month.

I'm sorry.

You chose Sunlife Cosmetics? Their Puru-Tsuya series

makeup remover and masks are quite popular.

That's right. Their toner works so well.

If that data gets out, our shares will plunge.

But in the end, all was well.

Yes. Thanks to the great Oriko Minase from Public Relations.

- That's right. - But still,

that Moriwaka from Accounting is suspicious.

- Um, Ms. Moriwaka-- - The accounting department

believes in her, as we should.

But to me, she is definitely someone we should keep an eye on.

- Senior managing director… - At times,

the people who you least expect are the traitors.

But she was at home on Sunday night.

- Yeah, of course she'd say that. - She lives alone too.

- Hey-- - Enough of this topic.

Through this project, I want to start slimming down the company

and developing new business ventures.

I'm looking forward to your full support.

Next week, you will receive training in Fukuoka,

where our company was founded.

TRY AGAIN

EITHER THE FILE IS LOCKED OR YOU DON'T HAVE PERMISSION

Ever since they updated the system, it's been so hard to use.

I agree. And we had already updated it a little while ago.

Was it really necessary to change it again?

Whose idea was it

to update the system?

- What? - Maybe the culprit planned this?

To get the passwords of the people who have access to the shared folder.

That sounds a bit far-fetched.

They wouldn't do a system update just because one employee requested it.

And the passwords that we submitted were kept by General Affairs.

I think it's worth looking into.

Ms. Moriwaka.

Come with me.

SENIOR MANAGING DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

I thought it would be best to let her speak to you in person.

It doesn't matter who I hear it from.

Your account accessed a shared folder from which a file was leaked.

Excuse me,

but who in their right mind would use their own name?

Ms. Moriwaka is a very capable accountant.

We can confidently say that she would

never do such a thing.

Then who did?

I don't know that.

Then this conversation is over.

Your confidence needs to be based on something.

I'll use this

as an opportunity to start outsourcing our accounting tasks.

Outsourcing…

We're going to hire an external accounting company.

So those of us in Accounting won't be needed anymore?

Basically.

It'll cut expenses.

I believe

employees who know the company very well

are able to process claims with more scrutiny.

If we outsource these tasks,

it won't necessarily cut expenses, will it?

You've got it wrong.

Accounting is a waste of labor costs.

Accounting's workload changes depending on the season.

You're understaffed during the busy season and overstaffed during the off season.

Another benefit of outsourcing

is that accounting specialists are more knowledgeable

and have access to new information.

If we keep up with the times and adapt quickly,

we can do away with inefficient methods.

I'll think about what to do with all of you once that's done.

One more time.

Manager Shibata, did you know about this?

Yes.

Who else knows?

Takura knows.

What are we supposed to do?

It's not official yet.

I want to do something about it as well.

The accounting department is going away…

We found something surprising.

The system update was suggested by Ms. Marina Arimoto.

She asked the president.

And according to Ms. Midori in General Affairs…

PASSWORD

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

- Jeez… - What does this say?

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.

We got a lot of these, so please have some.

- Thank you. - Ah, there is so much to do!

Whose idea was this?

- There are 407 of them! - That looks like a lot.

May I help?

- It's okay. - Don't worry.

I'm surprisingly not busy right now!

Really?

- Then can you help us? - Have some of these.

This one looks smaller.

Ms. Arimoto has never helped anyone out before.

And it's not like she's computer-savvy either.

So it's suspicious that she suggested updating the system.

In any case, I believe Ms. Arimoto

is our most likely suspect at the moment.

Let's check Ms. Arimoto's schedule on Sunday--

- Here's her attendance record. - So fast!

ATTENDANCE RECORD

Last Sunday,

she attended a meeting with the Kasumigabuchi Hot Spring Association.

So she has an alibi.

Good work, everyone.

Speak of the devil!

I came to drop off these receipts.

I wrote the details on the back.

‪RECEIPT

‪SEIA HOTEL

Okay. Manager Yoshimura entertained clients

from Seia Hotel at an establishment

owned by Hatanaka Planning, correct?

- Correct. - This is a special category client?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

She's acting so polite, it's looking more suspicious.

She didn't even look at you, Ms. Moriwaka. It must be her.

That reminds me.

Ms. Arimoto submits a lot of receipts

from Hatanaka Planning dated on Wednesdays.

Two weeks ago, she and Manager Yoshimura were with

Mr. Motomatsu, the president of a drugstore chain.

Last month, she and Manager Niijima were with Josei Medicine.

Manager Niijima?

What's wrong?

Ms. Arimoto leaves work early every Wednesday.

LEFT OFFICE EARLY

Isn't that strange?

Why is she always entertaining clients on the days

she leaves work early?

Something's fishy.

HATANAKA PLANNING

8/21 WEDNESDAY - SOICHIRO NIIJIMA

9/4 WEDNESDAY - AKIHIRO YOSHIMURA

Don't chase the rabbit.

Don't… Don't…

Let's chase it, Ms. Moriwaka.

This is a rabbit we should chase.

A RABBIT WE SHOULD CHASE

Ms. Moriwaka leaked some important files, right?

- What? - That was true?

- I'm powerless… - It was Sunday.

- Mr. Yamazaki, thank you for your work. - You too.

How can I help you?

You are the salesman in charge of the Seia Hotel Group, right?

Have you had any meetings or dinners with them recently?

No.

We do everything via email or phone.

Would an employee entertain them without you, the salesman in charge?

Like Manager Yoshimura, for example?

That's not very likely.

Oh, is our manager

troubling you with his receipts again?

No. Thank you for your help.

I'll contact you if I remember anything.

- Let me know your phone number. - What!

That was smooth! Flirting at work, huh?

Impressive, Mr. Yamazaki.

My phone is for personal use only.

I see.

But I might remember something at night.

You can tell me in the morning.

Too bad.

Didn't know Ms. Moriwaka was his type.

That's surprising.

‪What are you doing?

- Nothing. - Come here.

Take a look at this.

I did some research on Hatanaka Planning.

Their main business is managing restaurants. One of which

is a place called Club von Teese.

Ms. Arimoto?

Ms. Marina Arimoto has a side job, working as a hostess at Club von Teese

every Wednesday.

This is so much information, I can't process it all.

Does this company allow side jobs?

As a general rule, we are allowed to have a side job.

But why a club in Roppongi?

But if they're just entertaining a client, it should be fine.

No. First of all,

it's suspicious that Manager Yoshimura and Manager Niijima

are going out of their way to entertain clients

at a club in Roppongi where an employee has a side job.

True.

It might even be a fake expense.

A fake expense?

What if those managers are not entertaining clients,

but just drinking at Ms. Marina Arimoto's club

and using her to claim it

as a special category expense?

Ms. Marina gets commission,

and the managers get to drink for free. It's a win-win.

Boss, do you have a moment?

Oh, I just remembered something. I'm sorry.

He's acting weird.

I can see Manager Yoshimura doing that, but Manager Niijima too?

- You never know. He's a man too. - What…

Either Manager Yoshimura or Manager Niijima could be…

Actually, both of them could be

Ms. Marina Arimoto's lovers.

Lovers?

I want it to sparkle.

- Sparkle, sparkle. - No!

- Who wants to drink? - I do! I do!

I bet you anything Manager Yoshimura grabs her shoulders

- with Champagne in one hand. - Lovers or not,

it's possible that they're faking the expense.

But it's still just speculation.

There's no proof that it's not for work.

It can really be a special category client.

True. It'd be unfair to go after her based on speculation.

We must obtain hard evidence.

It's starting to sound like a real case.

Next Wednesday, we'll take action!

The leaked sales data…

The accusations against me…

The possible fake expenses…

The accounting department is going away…

And I can't talk to anyone about it…

TAIYO YAMADA

MS. SANAKO, HERE'S THE PHOTO FROM THE OTHER DAY!

Ms. Sanako!

Taiyo.

Did you see it? Isn't it pretty?

I'm glad your phone's working.

Thank you.

- You're going back to the office now? - Yes.

Starting next week, I'll be in Fukuoka, training for the new project.

- I see. - I'll bring back souvenirs.

Thank you.

Ms. Sanako.

Yes?

I want to say something before going to Fukuoka.

I want to tell people.

That you and I

are dating.

That we were together

all night on Sunday.

Please don't.

Why?

Don't worry about me.

The director chose you, so you should focus on the new project.

Then…

is there anything I can do?

What am I

to you?

What?

What do you mean by, "What am I to you?"

My goodness, it was a rough day.

Even Manager Yoshimura thanked me.

He said I saved the company.

Yeah.

Will you tell the director for me?

Tell him what a valuable asset I am to the company.

- That has nothing to do with-- - It does.

The director likes you, doesn't he?

Yes, I understand.

I will get that ready right away.

I'll be right back.

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

I can't wait for it to be Wednesday.

- Right, Ms. Asabuki? - Me too.

Ms. Moriwaka, thank you for your hard work.

I'd like to talk about AM.

I prefer somewhere outside of the office.

About AM?

ABOUT AM

- Oh, does this mean… - Yes.

Arimoto Marina?

FUKUOKA AIRPORT

FUKUOKA

So that's the overview of the project.

That's all for today. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Director… - Sunlife Cosmetics is a tough rival.

Well, they're an industry leader.

I'm sure they wouldn't accidentally leak sales data.

It's Ms. Moriwaka's fault.

That night, I was with her the whole time.

She had a fever, so I took care of her.

There's your proof.

Please believe me.

You there.

- And Takura. - Yes?

Can I see you two?

I was planning on telling you later,

but I'm thinking of transferring

both of you to a company in Hong Kong soon.

Hong Kong?

Transferring?

It's a company that I want to model our business after.

The goal is to cultivate young talents

and refine their skills.

As representatives of Tenten Corporation, I want you to learn from them.

Okay?

Yes.

Here you go, Ms. Moriwaka.

- Just a little bit. - What's holding you back?

Order whatever you want.

I won't expense this.

It's not a matter of whether you will or not.

- This is not a business expense. - I know that.

It's my treat.

Even more so, I'd feel bad.

- You're so proper, Ms. Moriwaka. - I'm normal.

That's what I like about you.

"Like"?

Cheers.

Anything you can't eat?

No.

Um, who is "AM"?

I figured your question the other day

was about Marina Arimoto's side job at the club.

- You knew about it? - She invited me once, saying,

"Come drink with me, and I'll expense it."

"Come drink with me, and I'll expense it"?!

I'm sorry.

No need to shout now.

Of course, I didn't go.

I believe Ms. Marina

works on Wednesdays.

Yes.

Please, have some.

Thank you.

That's a beautiful necklace.

Was it a present?

Hong Kong, huh?

It's so sudden. It caught me off guard.

He told us now, so it won't be sudden.

He heard about you and Ms. Moriwaka,

- so he gave you time to settle things. - Settle things?

Sorry, I don't mean it in a bad way.

He probably wanted to give you a heads-up, given your situation.

- Mr. Takura, want a refill? - Thanks.

Yamada?

- I'm okay. - But man…

You and Ms. Moriwaka, huh?

Yes. I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing to me?

Did she tell you about the accounting department?

Accounting? No. Did something happen?

It's getting outsourced.

Next year.

What are you saying?

Oh, sorry.

What's going to happen to everyone?

Transferred, probably.

They're going to keep me, though.

I might be going back and forth between here and Hong Kong.

Well, the senior managing director believes in meritocracy.

That's why we're chosen.

- Excuse me! - Yes?

He's just keeping up with the times.

Downsizing is just part of that.

With our sales not doing so well,

this is an effective way to protect the company.

Personally, how do you feel about

Accounting going away?

I view it as a chance.

Chance?

The young junior sought me out.

I know that comes with some sacrifices.

You can't attain something new

without throwing out something old.

THEN WEDNESDAY CAME

There's movement.

Manager Niijima and Manager Yoshimura are leaving.

- They might go to the club. - See you tomorrow!

- It's a go. - It's a go.

Go?

- We're going undercover. - Hey…

How do we get into the club?

I told Mr. Lee, my coworker from when I worked for an internet news site,

to be prepared,

mentally and physically, every Wednesday.

I'll call him now.

Mentally and physically prepared?

All right, we need to go too.

Who is this Mr. Lee? Who are you, Tiger?

Excuse me.

This is going too far.

Accountants are not detectives.

So you'll ignore the possibility of a fake expense?

No, I'm saying there are other ways to get proof.

Ms. Moriwaka, we're frustrated

to see a hardworking person like you

being accused of leaking data

and gossiped about.

It's not right that some cheater gets to live freely.

If you're not coming, I'll just take Ms. Sasaki.

Although I'm a little worried, since she lacks your skills.

Ms. Asabuki, you're not supposed to say that to my face.

Ms. Moriwaka, it's time to show them what Accounting is capable of.

What we're capable of…

What are we capable of?

- Do you want milk and anpan? - No, thank you.

Ms. Asabuki, here you go.

How was it?

Perfect.

He is my former coworker, Mr. Lee.

I'm Lee.

I'm Moriwaka, an accountant for Tenten Corporation.

I'm sorry for dragging you into this.

I'll do anything for love.

Shut up.

Here's what they look like.

- You're prepared! - When did you take these?!

Okay, perfect.

- Okay, we're going live. - Live?

This is exciting.

Did Mr. Lee get in position?

You can count on him.

He may not look it, but he does his job perfectly.

Why am I doing this?

‪It's him.

‪MR. LEE

- Oh, I'm sorry! - It's Ms. Arimoto.

- No, I'm sorry. - Are you all right?

- I'm fine! - Sorry.

- Are you heading this way? - I was distracted by my phone.

You have to look where you're going.

- I do. - That's Manager Niijima.

And Manager Yoshimura.

Perfect, Mr. Lee.

This is hot! Oh no, my smartphone!

There are two other men.

Are they our employees?

Then this isn't an entertainment expense.

But I've never seen these people at headquarters.

I'll send this to Mr. Yamazaki's phone.

He's always in the know, so maybe he can tell us.

But I must say, this is shocking to see.

Oh? There's one more person.

Mr. Lee, zoom out.

That's too much!

Who is behind the flowers?

A little more…

- Yeah, there's someone there. Who is it? - Turn!

- This way, Mr. Lee. - Yes, yes.

- Go around. - This way.

- The left. - Oh, hey.

Do you know who these two are?

I do.

The man on the left

is Mr. Doi, an executive officer at Sunlife Cosmetics.

Sunlife Cosmetics?

They're our biggest rival!

And the man on the right is Mr. Ueno, a manager at MMG,

a mergers and acquisitions consulting firm.

What is going on?

It seems Ms. Marina Arimoto helped a mergers and acquisitions consultant

and a Sunlife Cosmetics executive officer

get in touch with our managers.

Which means…

It's not a fake entertainment expense.

They are entertaining clients.

Yes, this is a business expense.

- Okay, let's leave. - Mayu, put your milk away.

Hey, hey, wait. Were you listening to him right now?

- Will you take home the anpan? - It wasn't a fake expense.

I'm sorry for dragging you here just on speculation.

No, not that.

What is going on? Are they actually stupid? Mr. Yamazaki!

Director Kakuma is stirring up a storm in the company,

and our managers are not happy. Now they're hanging out with

our rival company and a mergers and acquisitions consultant.

Isn't that a funny group of people?

Nothing funny about it.

Tenten Corporation is being bought out?

That's big news!

That's what I've been saying!

This is just my guess, but judging from the size of Sunlife Cosmetics,

Tenten is the one who is going to be bought out.

MR. LEE

Oh, finally! Sorry, the connection here is bad.

I see. So Marina Arimoto,

Manager Yoshimura, and Manager Niijima

are traitors who are trying to sell our company.

Oh, they're leaving.

Mr. Lee, show us the person behind the flowers.

Mr. Lee.

- Come on. - Who is it?

Mr. Lee, get him! Mr. Lee!

Come on!

I won't go home tonight!

- I look forward to it! - Me too!

Who cares about fake expenses or data leakage anymore.

Our company is getting bought out.

There is one more person the camera didn't catch.

Yes, let's wait and see.

- He's late. - Let me get him.

Thanks.

Are you all right?

- You're late! - Hurry up!

What took you so long?

Manager Shibata!

- One more stop? - Want to go?

I can't believe he's betraying the company.

- Shall we go? - Yeah!

- All right! - Let's go!

Which one should we go to?

WHY MANAGER SHIBATA…

I'll start outsourcing our accounting tasks.

Manager Shibata, did you know about this?

I want to do something about it as well.

He wants them to buy out Tenten,

kick out Director Kakuma,

and save the accounting department?

No, that can't be…

But…

But someone used your password

and took the documents, that's for sure.

Were they trying to get Ms. Moriwaka in trouble?

If data showing our drop in sales is leaked,

our share price will fall

and make the acquisition go smoothly.

MANAGER YOSHIMURA

Good morning.

- Manager Shibata. - Yes?

I'm done for.

Excuse me.

What did he do?

Maybe he had to take responsibility for the drop in sales?

What?

Would they send him to Okinawa for that?

The senior managing director ordered this, right?

He got angry with him and sent him off to Okinawa?

- What? - How sad.

- Must be tough. - Too bad.

Who is taking his place?

MANAGER SHIBATA

Manager Shibata took today off.

Do you think Manager Yoshimura's transfer

is related to what we saw yesterday?

There is no way of knowing.

I find it hard to believe that Manager Shibata

is betraying the company and betraying us.

No matter what you believe, the facts won't change.

We're just accountants. There's nothing we can do.

Remember this.

The people who you

least expect are the traitors.

TRAITORS…

Excuse me.

SENIOR MANAGING DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

Don't leave me out like that.

I can be more useful than those old guys,

Ms. Marina.

I brought souvenirs.

HAKATA PORK MANJU

- It looks good. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- It's good. - It's good.

How was the training?

We learned how we're going to streamline things

going forward.

I see.

I heard that Accounting is being outsourced.

Mr. Takura told me.

It's still hard to believe.

To think that I might lose my job…

Even if that happens, it's okay.

What?

I will make money.

I'll provide for you.

Huh?

If I could come home to you every day and eat delicious food like this,

I'd be happy.

- What? - Ms. Sanako, will you…

marry me?

What?

What?

What?

- This… - This is not a business expense.

What is happening within Tenten Corporation?

This is what happens when you underestimate me.

- What? - What?

Will we be able to stay?

You don't have to hide it!

Taiyo Yamada doesn't understand.

What will you do, Ms. Moriwaka?
