All language subtitles for Bitter.Sweet--Nigakute.Amai

Thank you very much.

Welcome.

Please taste our menu.

What are you eating?
It looks tasty.

This is really delicious.

- Such a handsome guy.
- What a shop is it?

This shop seems nice.
Let's go eat there.

This has top priority.

Maki takes no lunch break and just eats instant food again.

It's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?

I wonder if she's a workaholic or an instant food junkie.

Eda-kun.

Yes.

This is a new CM (commercial) project for our agency.

I thought I should assign it to you.

What do you think of it?

A CM?
For me?

It's a low-budget project,
but it won't be easy.

If you think you can't handle it,

you better say so right now.

I'll do my best.

Goya? (Bitter melon)

The president said it's urgent.

Don't let me down.

Yes.

What, what?

Maki, you have your own CM?

So it seems.

That's great!

As expected of you.

No, no.
Not at all.

Then, let's go eat this evening to boost our morale.

Right, right.
We found a good shop.

This one.

Organic vegetables?

You don't like it?

That's not it.

This evening, I have to look at an apartment with my boyfriend.

It's about time for us to sign a tenancy agreement

and start living together.

Really?
A cohabitation?

Well, it looks like it.

Good job.

What boyfriend?

Can I have a look at him?

It couldn't be helped.

I had to protect my image.

That's ugly.
Your way of thinking is ugly, you know.

Shut up.

I'm good at my job,

I have a wonderful boyfriend,

I have everything I wish for.

Nothing but lies.

The story about the tenancy agreement is true.

When you've drunk up, you'll go home, okay?

These shitty vegetables.

Why do they always appear before me?

Idiotic vegetables!

BITTERSWEET

Hey, who are you?

Why do you enter my home without permission,

tidy my room up without permission,

and use my kitchen without permission?

Say someting!

Put something on.

Seems we did it.

A teacher?

[KUROKAWA HIGH SCHOOL]
[KATAYAMA NAGISA]

Somehow he persuaded me to live together.

Oh no!
I erroneously took his ID card along.

What!

Kurokawa High School!
Isn't that a prestigious private school?

You sleep every night with such a handsome guy!

I'm so envious!

Stop with it!

I'm sorry.
I guess I was a bit harsh.

Somehow it smells incredibly good.

What is this?

Vegetable stems soup.

And, what is in it?

The broth is boiled from kelp and mushrooms

and the main ingredients are onion, carrot, cereals, and celery.

Celery?

Plus brocoli.

Brocoli?

The stems of it.

The stems?

What's wrong?

Unfortunately, I have no appetite

so I guess I'll just take a little snack.

Your apartment is filthy and your eating habits are chaotic.

No wonder that men reject you.

How can you know that?

On the way home yesterday you told me everything.

I see.

Seems I drunk too much yesterday,

but I rarely have free time so I felt a little lonely.

This soup is good against a hangover.

I'll serve you the rest.

Are these really vegetables?

You should know just by looking.

Delicious!

I don't believe it.
I can eat even brocoli stems.

Do you know the term "Oneness"?

What do you mean?

It's best to eat all parts of the food.

You must not pick just single parts.

What's that all of a sudden?

You have to eat it all,

even if there are some bitter or hard parts,

because they might be the most nutritious.

You eat only food supplements.

You want to have only the good parts,

but nature isn't like that.

They may look good when you eat them,

but it's not the outer appearance that counts.

Alright.

It's time for me to go.

Wait, wait, wait.
You're going home?

- Yeah.
- Don't say "Yeah"!

And... this here.

- You did it with me, didn't you?
- Wait, wait.

We did it?
Me and you?

Of course!
And now you want to sneak away.

I'm not interested in women.

What do you mean, "not interested"?

Just as I said.
That's how it is.

Explain it properly!

What's so hard to understand about what I said?

If you talk so nebulously, I can't understand.
Say it clearly!

What I'm saying is

I don't like women.

Men are better than women.

Does that mean...

The master of the bar asked me to take you home so I had no choice.

Understood?

Bye.

Katayama Nagisa!

So the teacher of a renowned boys high school loves men, huh?

What are you doing?
Oi, oi!

The morals of the students are in danger.

- I cant just stand by and ignore it.
- Give it back!

Let's live together!

What?

It doesn't have to be in this apartment.
Please!

I don't wonna know that.
You're strange, really.

Why should I live with you?

Let's see... 038...

Wait, wait, wait!
What are you doing?

If you won't live with me, I'm forced to do this.

But if we move in together, it's okay.

You can't force me.

This is blackmail.

Blackmail!

Why are you making such a face?

That must be a joke.

It's good.
No trouble with tenants above or beneath us.

It's not the image I had in mind.

Teachers of a renowned high school are supposed to live at a fancier place.

You don't have to move in if you don't like it.

Such a thing...

There's one more condition.

I will do the cooking
and you will eat what I serve you.

What's that supposed to mean?

Wrong eating habits produce stress
so meat is forbidden.

Meat is forbidden?

Didn't I tell you?
I eat only vegetables.

But if you can't put up with it, you can move out anytime.

Gay plant-eating bastard.

Do you think you can make me go!

Oh, sorry.

Good job.

Sorry for asking you to help.
Everything okay over there?

- Job done!
- Thank you.

And this...

Ah, that's right.
She's my future co-tenant.

Co-tenant?

Pleased to meet you.
I'm Babazono.

Pleased to meet you.
I'm Eda.

It's all properly unloaded.

But the room is quite damp so you should air it thoroughly.

And also desinfect it.

Babazono-san, are you Nagisa's...

Baba-chan is my junior and a sports teacher.

Eda-san, you are my senpai's...

- ...girlfriend.
- ...distant relative, right?

You were dumped by your boyfriend and thrown out of the house

and in this emergency situation you moved in here, right?

You remember it well.

Okay.
Let's take a break.

Yes.

How is it?
Would you like some corn on the cob?

Oh, really?

- Please give me one.
- Here please.

Itadakimasu.

Looks delicious.
Thank you.

This looks like a disaster.

It's a catastrophe.

Your necktie is crooked.

Take this along.

- What is it?
- Your lunchbox.

I don't need it.

That was the condition.

Who had thought it's even valid in the company.

Don't forget to eat it.

Don't spill it!

Is my necktie really crooked?

Oi!
Damned!

You're so clumsy!

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Sensei, good morning.

- Thanks for yesterday.
- You're welcome.

Call me again anytime.

Good morning.

What?
Maki-san, is this a lunchbox?

It looks delicious!

Eat it if you like.

No, that wouldn't be right.

It's okay, it's okay.

You try it too.
Take this black one and eat it.

Thank you.

Itadakimasu.

It's made of brown rice.

And it contains soy sauce and sesame seeds.

Once you begin to chew the riceball,

the soy sauce aroma instantly fills your mouth.

It seems to have a certain sweetness.

The soy sauce is awesome.

Brown rice is good for your health, right?

It's healthy and delicious.

That's really rare, isn't it?

Maki, next time teach me to make this.

Me too!

It will make me look like a competent woman.

I didn't make it myself.

You see, my boyfriend does the cooking.

You have started to live together with your boyfriend?

You are so lucky!

Maki, would you like a hamburger?

No, this here looks like a hamburger too
so it's alright.

Then, let's eat.

With this, goya will fascinate the audience

like a hot new movie star.

Wait a minute.
Can I ask you a question?

Yes.

You won't show our product?

An eating scene, for example.

Well,

more effective than that

is the between-the-lines approach.

It's better than imposing the product on the audience.

Oi, Eda!

There is no plan to show the goya be eaten?

Well...

Look, this girl is cute, isn't she?

Yeah, she's nice.

This is Aoi Minami,

currently a very popular model.

We've considered to use her for the goya campaign

but on this short notice we couldn't do the casting yet.

- Ah, so it is.
- Yes.

Look, doesn't she look a bit like my daughter?
One way or the other.

Is that so?

Then, how about we let your daughter do it, President?

No, no,

my daughter never does what she's told.

So, will you get us this girl?

Yes.
Don't worry.

- Isn't it good, this plan!
- Yes, it is.

Well, she really resembles her, huh?

- She's so cute!
- Isn't she!

Welcome home.

Good evening.

I'm back.

- Can we start eating now.
- Wait a moment.

Now the dish is ready.

Itadakimasu.

Itadakimasu.

Delicious!

It's so soft and chewy!

Is this minced meat?

Why, why?
Because this is a special day?

This is sorghum, a kind of grass plant.

I used it for the hamburger in your lunchbox too.

This is also a vegetable?

I can't believe it.

It's like magic.

Delicious.

Would you like a drink?

To celebrate the first day of our cohabitation.

Yes please.

Alright.

You can enter the bath.

Thank you.

I knew only men,

but you taught me to love women.

Alright.

[How can I get along with a gay person?]
[We're both women.]

[Definitely impossible!!!]
[Give up please!!!]

You see,

he's handsome,
he plays in a basketball team,

and works as a manager.

Everything seemed perfect,

and then I learned he's gay!

Gay?

Well, then it's hopeless.

But,

I dressed up as a guy,

put on men's clothes.

People who saw me even said,
"Look at that young boy."

And so the story began.

Really?

Yes, really.

- Are you listening?
- Yes, I am listening.

Masaki says I'm certainly the right partner for him.

That's just a temporary fad.

What's this?

You are expected to do such things?

That will definitely go wrong.

It will be alright.
The manga says so.

Welcome back.

This necktie

doesn't suit you.

Okay, let's enjoy dinner.

Yes?

Hey, don't open the door so suddenly!

This here... what shall I do with it?

It's from my mother.

Your mother sent it?

The sticker says it's from "Haru Baru Farm".

That's why I said it's from my family.

That farm is famous, isn't it?
It's difficult to get their products.

I have no idea.
It's just any stuff.

Do you have some kind of grudge?

It began a long time ago when my father had that crazy idea.

It was his fault

that I lived in solitude because mother had to work too

and that messed me up.

Since then, I wasn't good at hanging out with people

and I didn't want to see vegetables ever again.

You can have them all but go out now.

I will change my clothes.

If you have bitter memories

you should eat a nutritious meal.

They will disappear after that.

If that worked, I'd do it for sure.

What song are you going to sing today, Kotori-san?

She'll never become an actress.

She'll stay a model forever.

Aoi Minami, who's that?

She just can't speak.

Her acting is terrible.

She has no talent for acting at all.

Working as a model is the only thing she can do.

Excuse me.

What do you want?

Minami-san, it's time.

What do you think about this project?

I hate it.

I've never heard of a CM for goya.

It's just too lame.

But I think it's quite interesting.

It includes serious acting.
Have you considered that?

Don't tell unnecessary things.

I don't want to act.

But you said before that you wanted to become an actress.

Moreover, when you graduate from high school,

you will also graduate from working for this magazine.

Then I can work for women's magazines.

Of course, I suppose you could do that.

Pleased to meet you.

- Eda-kun!
- Yes.

It's about the CM for the ad campaign.

Aoi Minami is NG. (No Good)

Why that?

How should I know?

Maybe she hates goya.

What shall we do now?

She's a must, that girl.

What's that supposed to mean?

It couldn't be helped in this critical situation.

Critical situation?

I have trouble with my work.

So you will move out?

You're joking.
I have no intention to do that.

Rule is rule!

Listen.
Advertising is different from the job of a teacher.

I can't lead such a regular life.

Even if I have a lunchbox,
there are situations when I have no time to eat.

You should understand that.

And this is such a situation now.

In the first place, when I've eaten,

the brain just won't work.

From tomorrow on, the lunchbox for me is cancelled.

I'm leaving.

Hey, you've forgotten something.

I told you I didn't want it.

Aren't you ready yet?

Wait a moment please.

You're slowing us down.

I'm sorry.

Do you have the latest evaluation?

Not yet.

I'll give this project to another team.

Please wait a little longer.
Till tomorrow.

Listen, Eda-kun.

If you can't do it, say you can't do it.

If it's too difficult, say it's too difficult.

But say it quickly
or we can't use you here!

[Barley tea]

Terrible.

Senpai!

- Thanks for the treat.
- You're welcome.

Thank you very much.

You've eaten it all.

Good boy!

You eat only vegetables and you know how to prepare them delicious.

If you like, come to my place next time.

Then we'll be alone and I'll show you how to do it.

Sure.

I'll teach you the real usage of cucumber.

What do you mean, "real usage"?

I'll tell you immediately.

- Excuse me.
- Yes.

[From Eda]
[I'll be home at 19 o'clock!]
[Come back quickly]

Is this also a good cucumber?
Better than this one?

Let me see.

Looks good.

It's good, isn't it?

Welcome back, Nagisa.

How about a drink?

I refuse.

Keep me a little company.

It was such a chance.

It was a job that would decide on my future life,

and I blew it.

Isn't that strange?

I don't quite understand,

but such things just happen.

Why are you so angry?

Why?

Why are you so cold?

Comfort me a little!

Tell me that I've done my best!

Why don't you look at me?

You have worked hard.

You have worked till late in the night every day

and you've changed your eating habits.

Not only me,

other people have seen that too.

Don't worry.

You will get your second chance.

Why did you let me move in here?

Because you forced me.

But there was yet another reason.

You were feeding yourself poorly.

Seeing that didn't make me happy.

Okay, okay, okay.

Come on, let me go.

This way you won't become happy.

Come on.

I got it.

Okay, okay.

I'll prepare something for you, okay?

What is this?

Goya parfait.

You knew it?

How could I?

Isn't there a girl who always cries,
"Why don't you look at me?"

I'm sorry.

But I still can't eat it.

It's bitter.

Don't talk nonsense.

Don't you want to create a CM for it?
Then you have to like goya.

Well, that's true, but...

You have to eat everything I serve you.

In the flower language Goya means "Challenge".

Well, we should take that literally.

In the flower language there are vegetables too?

You really don't know anything, huh?

Teach me to make this.

The bitter taste is the greatest charm of goya,

but this time we will make it taste sweet.

How can we do that?

Carefully remove the seeds and toss the goya in salt.

Then moisture them with water and coat them with sugar.

Add salt brine to a mixture of soy milk and broth

and pour it into the container filled with shiitake and goya.

At last, decorate it with chopped plums

and then put it into the food steamer.

It's easy, isn't it?

Excuse me.

Here's someone from the goya advertising agency.

Aoi-san, do you dislike goya?

Since you refused to do the CM,
I wonder if it's because you don't like goya.

Yes, because it's so bitter.

That's why I brought you this!

I also hated goya and other vegetables too.

But now I regret that I didn't eat it in the past.

When I tried it I found out that it's really delicious.

I wanted you to taste it as well

so I prepared this for you.

It's goya parfait.

No, I cant.
I'm on a diet.

It doesn't even contain eggs and is very healthy.

To be true, I'm not very good at cooking,

but I think this is well done.

And then I realized

that you can improve your weak points.

There's always a new possibility.

You also may have a few weak points,

but I will support you as good as I can.

I'm sure there are new possibilities for you too.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you very much.

You've let me down just now.

No, of course not.

It's not that goya is my weak point.

- I'll put it away, okay?
- No.

- Oh, you seem to be in a good mood.
- You can see that?

Well, Nagisa is really properly paying attention to me.

I wonder if he has fallen for me.

I don't know.

Nagisa, you're not yet here?

I can't come today.

But we wanted to celebrate the premiere.

Outch, outch, outch!

Senpai, all this must go in there?

Fool, it fits in easily.

Are you alright?

I'm doing this for the first time so I'm afraid.

It's so hot!

I told you it's going to be hot today.

Are you alright?

Geez.

If you add it carefully, it doesn't splash.

Tempura is difficult, isn't it?

It really is.

Okay, it's alright.
Thanks.

It seems he's with a guy.

He didn't change fundamentally, huh?

I can't believe what I just heard.

Still, I think he actually cares for you, Maki-chan.

I absolutely don't have this impression.

Look, in Nagisa's heart has always been only his big brother.

And now you're in his heart.

His older brother?
He never told me.

Eh? You didn't know?

Sorry.

Then talk to Nagisa directly, okay?

Excuse me.

What the hell...

Are you ready?

Then, let's shout!

Go-

Ya!

Go-

Ya!

Goya!

You will forgive me my bitterness, won't you?

I'm your healthy goya!

Goya is good for you! Goya!

This is it?

The CM on which Eda-san bet her life?

Hey, I'm leaving.
What about my lunchbox?

Nagisa?

Katayama-sensei?

Katayama-sensei, you're late!

What is it?

Leave me alone.

What's with your voice?

So hot!
A fever?

That's bad.

Nagisa!

I'm fine.

I can undress myself.

You can't!
I will help you.

It hurts.

What are you doing!

I'm sorry.
You're all sweaty.

Bring me a glass of water.

Water?

I'll bring you water.

So annoying.

She's so annoying!

Eda-kun!

It's about your next job.

I'm busy.

By the way, what are you doing there?

This has top priority.

- I didn't give you this task.
- Chief, can I ask you a question?

What is it?

When you have a cold, which is better?
Soup or porridge?

Porridge, I guess.

- Is this really your work?
- This has top priority.

I see.

Let me take your cold from you.

I'm sorry!

In Nagisa's heart has always been only his big brother.

Didn't you know?

Didn't you know?

Too long!

That's too long!

Are you crazy?

That's right!

If you do it so long, you'll catch a cold.

I haven't seen Nagisa for so long.

Be quiet!

You're overdoing it!

That's right!
You're overdoing it, Big Brother.

Huh?
Big Brother?

Are you crazy?

You're not?

Spreaking of this, who are you?

I am the person who's living with Nagisa.

A woman?

I'm so sorry.

Really, I had never expected Nagisa would live with a woman.

Hello.

I returned from India out of the blue.
My name is Tachibana Arata.

Let's become friends.

I'm a fantastic guy.

I don't have this intention.

Originally, this was my home.

This pot and the chair over there,
I bought them.

In the room where you're living now

I taught Nagisa what a man is good for,

including the Indian techniques.

Maki-chan, won't you try?

Not at all!

I do it with men and women.

How about tonight?

No, thanks!

Say, what are you doing right now?

Is it an experiment?

I'm cooking.

What are you cooking?

Porridge.

This stuff looks like mud.

I don't think Nagisa would get better from it.

What are you doing?

Make way, make way!

You don't look like you could cook.

I taught Nagisa not only what a man is good for.

Why do you undress?

You don't like it?

Sorry for letting you wait.

My wonderful special curry and mysterious rice.

This again?

Don't complain.

Curry when you have a cold?

When you have no appetite,

you need something that stirs your appetite

and gives you strength.

Maki-chan, you need it too.

Itadakimasu.

Itadakimasu!

How is it?
Delicious, huh?

This sourness makes you want to eat more of it.

Nagisa, your opinion?

It's average.

As always you're dishonest.

What do you want?

Stop it!

Let's spend this night together!

What the hell!

You will sleep in your sleeping bag.

I have a fever.

Have a nice day.

Jeez.

Do you really plan to stay here?

Only for a short time.

Please.

By the way,

who told you about my brother?

The master of Beans Bar.

That guy...

Tell me,

what happened with your brother?

It's nothing that concerns you.

That should be enough.

Maki?

Gosh! It's really Maki-chan!

Kaito?

Long time no see!

Wait, wait, wait.
It's been such a long time.

Wait, you're so fast.

Why are you wearing such a dress?

Because I'm working.

Here.
Look, look, look.

Look at this.

No, thanks.

Don't say "No, thanks".
Take it.

- That feels so good.
- You see!

In India, they put it on the whole body.

They paste the whole body.

That was good, wasn't it?

I beg you.
I beg you.

Okay.

Maki-chan, do you want to try it too?

It's slippery.

No, thanks.

Maki-chan, in your room is a spare futon.
(Japanese matress)

Can I borrow it?

Do as you like.

Then, I'll borrow it, okay?

What's wrong?

Did anything happen?

No.

What is it?
What happened?

You were told to desinfect it, weren't you!

It can't be helped.
Who had expected something like this!

We are both busy with work!

But you don't unplug the hair dryer,

your clothes are piled up on a heap,

your room is a mess,

and now there even grow mushrooms on the futon.

Really,
this is a bit much, isn't it?

So what!

You play music at night!

That is only sleep-inducing music.
It's unobtrusive.

- It's ruthless!
- It's not ruthless!

If you don't like it...
if you don't like it, move out!

- Move out!
- I will move out.

- Then, move out!
- I'll move out so get out!

You said it.

Did you hear it?

Quickly!

If I do so, you'll move out.

Hurry up!

Make up again!

Try to get along!

And clean up everything properly.

Maki-chan!

Think it over.

Please leave me alone.

Leave her alone!

That guy would never admit it.

But I think he cares about you, Maki-chan.

Hello.
I'm terribly sorry for making you wait.

- Eda?
- Yes.

I'm relieved.

I'll have to wait that long?

I got it.

Seems you have no choice but to give up moving out, huh?

Hello, Baba-chi.

It's a bit embarrassing,

but can't you get us a removal truck tomorrow?

It's for another move.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Shall I help you?

Please leave me alone!

I won't come back today.

What?

I'm taking the trouble to prepare the final dinner.

Now we have too many mushrooms.

I also won't come back today.

I'm going to the grave.

Your brother's grave.

Won't you go too?

You know the answer.

It's about time that you go.

After all, it wasn't your fault that he died.

- It was my fault.
- No.

It was a chronic disease.

But I didn't take notice.

That's why it wasn't your fault.

You think too much about it.

Moron.

You're living at a great place, aren't you?

No, absolutely not.

I guess these are all things you want to buy.

No way.

I borrowed them all just for you.

While we eat...

...turn off the TV.

That brings back memories.

Welcome back.

That fool.

She also bought too much barley tea.

The room over there is still empty.

If you like you can use it.

What's wrong?

You're full already?

No, I'm not.

Does it perhaps taste bad?

No, really...

This menu is from a first-class delivery service.

It's insanely expensive

and has an online rating of 4.5.

There's no way it can tast bad, right?

You create the impression of being gloomy
and hardly speak a word.

Sorry, I'll go home.

- You won't live together with me?
- Rather not.

Wait a minute!

Don't leave so fast.

It's true, I'm ignorant

and don't understand anything at all,

but if you're with me I'll change.

You know,

just forget about me, okay?

Welcome back.

I'm back.

- You're still awake?
- Yeah.

Where's Arata-san?

He said he wouldn't come home today.

I see.

Did you have a meal?

I haven't eaten.

Then,

shall I prepare you something?

So you could use them, couldn't you?
The mushrooms from yesterday.

Don't worry,

I didn't use those on the futon.

Itadakimasu.

Itadakimasu.

Oi!

What's wrong?

Is it so delicious that it makes you cry?

Yeah,

it's delicious to cry.

Still, don't cry.

You cannot sense the taste if you cry.

I just went to see my former boyfriend.

Without a serious reason

I've made a fool of myself once again.

But you cooled down and came back, didn't you?

Then it's alright, isn't it?

If you want a creamy stew

to become especially delicious,

you must give it a little extra time to develop its taste.

With you it's the same.

You too

must calm down

to develop your charm.

Nagisa...

What is it?

I'm sorry about of the futon.

Well,

I also said too much.

There's more I have to apologize for.

I have eaten a little bit of meat.

Was it tasty?

I like your dishes better.

That goes without saying.

You can open your eyes now.

It's okay. Drink it.

Is this barley tea?

This taste...

How?

Did you search for it?

It was inside of that box.

Let's taste what's inside of it.

This is

what I've always drunk at home.

Even if there's anything I hate,

it gives me a little peace of mind.

You should make a visit at home.

It will do you good.

Just like the taste of this tea,

your home is something that should not be forgotten.

Well then, Nagisa,

before I do that,

won't you tell me about your brother?

You go for a spin?

Why that?
I took the trouble to make time for you.

I'm sorry.

Please take care of the house.

I've also prepared a meal for you.

- We'll drive with this?
- Yes.

That's so uncool.

Senpai, where are you going?

Just a short trip.
Well, see you.

I will feel lonely all alone!

Wait, Senpai!

Those vegetables look good, huh?

I guess we should buy some.

We've lost direction.

I don't want to appear with such a car.

Fool.

How should we transport the vegetables?

It's convenient.

That's all you think about.

It will make a superb impression.

Where are we here?

Excuse me.

[From Arata]
[When will you return?]
[Are you still not coming?]
[Oi!]
[Where are you?]

Excuse me.

Excuse me,
do you know where Haru Baru Farm is?

It must be somewhere around here.

No!
No!

Why did you get so mad at me?

How can a person not remember their own home?

That's no reason to chase me with a sickle.

After such a long time you show up here and then you drag a man along.

I'm telling you it's not like that.

If it's not like that, then tell me what it is.

I'm sorry.
You're our guest and I make use of your help.

No, no, it's an honor for me
to cook at Haru Baru Farm.

I've never met a person like you.

No, no,
how can I say,

to me it's like learning the secrets of powerful vegetables.

A motorbike?

Her father seems to be pretty energetic.

No, that's not right.
Let me do it.

It must be chopped into bigger pieces.
Bigger pieces.

You need a sense for the food.
A feeling.

As expected of you, Father.

Father?

I'm sorry.
Yutaka-san.

Why do you know my name?

I'm a fan of yours.

You...

What do you mean, "Fan"?

I truly love these vegetables.

I also read your blog.
Haru Baru Diary.

It makes me so happy.

- Like this?
- Yeah.

- Is this alright?
- Yes.

Turn around.
Just one shoot.

- With my phone too.
- Okay.

- It's enough.
- Please!

Okay, okay.

Wait!

This looks like a weapon.

- I'm going to shoot!
- Okay.

Look, look, look.

It's great to have two men working in the kitchen, isn't it?

Really,
Nagisa-kun looks so good on the picture.

You aren't just roommates, are you?

Well, I wonder.

Really,

you are a vegetarian?

That's right.
I'm a picky eater.

So you don't eat dumplings?

Do you have tofu?

Yeah, there should be some.

Then, can we use tofu instead of pork?

That would taste bad.

It's delicious.

Mum,

thank you for sending me barley tea.

And the vegetables.

It was your father who sent it.

I told him not to send you anything since you wouldn't eat it anyway.

But he didn't listen to me.

Look,

when we started farming we had a lot of trouble.

At first, the vegetables just wouldn't grow.

But,

he said producing wonderful vegetables is our obligation towards Maki.

Your father worked very hard.

That's why he always gave you vegetables

even though you said you couldn't eat them.

So it was.

That's right!

I don't want that!

Isn't it good?
Now when you're here.

No, no, no, no.

I don't want.

- Please.
- I don't want.

It's done!

However, your father had to teach me a lot.

Well, the tofu stuffing was your idea.

It's strange, isn't it?

Even though we were poor,

we didn't say we couldn't buy a kimono.
Right, dear?

This girl left home before we could celebrate her coming-of-age.

But it's not correct to neglect it, right?

That's just like you.

It's late for the coming-of-age ceremony now,

but better late than never.

Well then,

let's eat.

Itadakimasu.

What's wrong?

These are vegetable dumplings.

- There is no meat inside.
- I know.

I can eat it now.

Delicious.

Dear,

that stuff, bring it.

That one.

Yes, yes, yes.

What? What?

Thank you.

What brand of beer is this?

This is a craft beer, brewed according to my own recipe.

I wanted to serve it on a special occasion
and have been waiting for it all the time.

Stop making such a fuss about it.

It's your coming-of age, your becoming an adult.

Remember how many years I'm an adult now.

Come on, speak a few words.

Stop with that, Nagisa.

Well...

I'm sorry for all the worries I've caused you.

And for not coming back here till today.

Before, I said I couldn't stand the country life

and couldn't forgive father to begin farming out of the blue.

These were excuses.

Truth is,

I revolted and left home

even though you've always taken care of me

and I couldn't forgive myself for this.

It's thanks to Nagisa only that I could come back at last.

I was too ashamed to meet my mother and my father

who made the farm a success by their own effort.

But,

but...

Maki!

Thank you for coming back.

Cheers.

Cheers!

What's this?

I knew it.

What do you mean, "I knew it"?

Fermented for too long.

Disgusting!

It's your fault!

- Why?
- Don't be so stupid.

It's not my fault!

What a manner of speaking is this!

It stinks yucky.

Okay, okay,
until her wedding you'll make it delicious, won't you?

Until this girl gets married
I'll be a renowned beer brewer.

- It tastes terrible.
- I'll try again.

- Yeah, it tastes bad.
- You see! I told you.

There are no bubbles at all.

- It's terrible, isn't it?
- Seems this is no good.

- Yeah, it's no good.
- It's just terrible.

- There's no head on it.
- Why isn't there a head?

Excuse me for a moment.

Somehow it smells rotten.

Oi, what's that supposed to mean?

Did you see the mail?

I've taught Baba-chi a lot of things.

He's a talented student and so cute.

Stop it,
stop it, idiot.

What's that?
What's your purpose?

The purpose is...

When I came back, you weren't here

and you ignored my phonecalls and mails.

That's no reason for this.

You see,

I'm going to marry.

I'm engaged.

In India.

With a girl.

It's about time for me to go back.

Are you shocked?

Absolutely not.

Well, whether you're gay or heterosexual,

you can't live without love, Nagisa.

What are you talking about?

Your brother is no substitute for it.

So go to the grave, okay?

Thank you.

- Dear, this here too?
- Yeah.

Can we really take so much?

Of course, take it along.

Really, won't you stay for the night?

It's arranged in a moment.

No, I must not trespass on your kindness so it's alright.

It was a pleasure to meet you today.

Really, this girl!

She just fell asleep.

She was nervous so she's tired now.

Yesterday, she couldn't find sleep.

Well, sorry for intruding.

- Nagisa-kun.
- Dear?

Just a moment.

You've heard what she said about me.

I gave her sad memories

and she never had friends.

But, for her happiness

I am willing to do anything.

Yes.

Nagisa-kun,

can you take a care of Maki?

It's not that I'm acting the father after such a long time,

but aren't you living together already?

Even if you may have had no such intention,

I want to ask you.

Father,

unfortunately,

I love men.

I have no interest in women.
None at all.

Compared to Maki-san, you are more of my type.

I'm surprised to hear that.

Such things do exist too, right?

Anyway,

please tell it your wife too.

Good-bye.

What a pity, isn't it?

There was nothing to be done.
He seems to be gay.

Did you insult him?
Or get angry?

Today is Nagisa's brother's death day.

If possible, persuade him to visit the grave.

Take good care of him, okay!

Arata.

Silently sneaking away is not cool at all!

What are you laughing about?

Apologize to me, Nagisa!

Say something!

Don't just sit there!

Hey!

Is this yours?

I'm sorry,

but if you don't hurry up to visit your brother,
the death day will be over.

So it was Arata.

It's too late already, forget it.

You will make it in time!

It's 9 o'clock.

- No matter how much I hurry...
- 3 hours will be enough.

I have overcome a lot of things since I met you.

The thing with my father,

and with vegetables.

That's why I want you to move forward too.

The one who taught me I should eat even bitter and hard things was you.

Can't you teach yourself the same?

It's 3 service areas away.

- What's wrong with this?
- No, stop it!

Don't you know how to shift gears?

I'm sorry.

And how did you handle that motorcycle?

Well, for the ride I used one gear only.

You...

Geez!

Let it be already.

I can do it.

I say you can't do it.

There's only one solution.

The death day is over, isn't it?

It's okay.
This will do just as well.

It's thanks to you.

[GRAVE OF KATAYAMA KASHI]

Alright.

Let's go back.

You're so handsome!

That's ruthless, that's so ruthless!

What?

Grabbing me suddenly.

It made my heart beat!

Are you a middle school student?

- It was ruthless.
- It wasn't ruthless.

It was ruthless.

A plane is coming.

No, there isn't any.

Fooled you!

Welcome back.

Arata-san taught me yoga.

Look!

Great, isn't it?

Dear!

What is this?

Dear...

Dear?

Looks almost like a face.

It's all tomatoes.

Would you like to try?

This is a tomato flower.

Tomato flower?

In the flower language the tomato flower means "Gratitude",

Maki-san.

Sorry,
today I'll eat my lunchbox all by myself.

- It can't be helped, huh?
- Itadakimasu.

Next time let us try too.

The stomach has to be filled everyday.

Eda-kun, as for the next project...

Excuse me,

can you let me finish my meal?

This has top priority.
