Deputy editor?

It's all right.

Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you.

It's all right. Don't worry.

It's all right.

It'll be fine.

I'll be there for you from now on.

I'll be your umbrella.

Ai.

Deputy editor?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Uh, this.

Thanks.

What, you can't come today?

Yeah, I'm not feeling well.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

You don't have to worry about me.

Get some rest, okay?

Thanks.

I'll make it up to you soon. I promise.

Good morning.

You caught a cold?

No, I'm fine.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You look cool today.

Ai.

Good morning.

Miyagi.

Can you confirm that for me?

What should I confirm...

Just confirm that.

Confirm... Okay.

Morning.

Oh, so beautiful.

I know.

Jackson.

Good morning.

A cold?

No, just a little coughing.

Really?

Yeah.

You're lying.

No. I'm fine.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Well...

This is Most Japan.

What is it?

No, nobody called, right?

Hey.

Jackson?

Yes?

Take this. (Cold Cure)

(Cold Cure)

I don't have a cold.

You can never be too careful.

Thanks.

Oh, and this...

Okay.

It's said that masks are more effective when they are worn in layers.

Thanks!

Sato!

Yes?

Can you bring this to the studio?

Okay.

And...

Take off that stupid mask and go.

She looks better with that mask, doesn't she?

Huh?

I mean, what are you doing here?

Nothing.

Welcome.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Okay. Thanks.

Sorry. Thank you!

I'm sorry!

Thank you. Sorry. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Sir! Are you okay?

I'm sorry, sir! Are you hurt?

Sir, what are you doing?

Yeah, what am I doing...

I'm so tired.

She's still moving around? With a cold...

-Hi. -Hi.

Why the onion?

Excuse me.

(Onions are effective against colds.)

Onions can weaken the cold virus.

So the onion...

This is Most Editorial Department.

Thank you very much for your help.

Komatsu, did you send the PDF of the feature manuscript to the home country?

I sent it this morning.

Azuma, I'm leaving this afternoon, so

please respond when you hear from the coordinator of the New York shoot.

I will contact them as soon as possible.

Satonaka, how about the storyboard for the solo travel feature?

I'm having our deputy editor check it out.

How's the lease going on the cosmetics for the tie-up?

I just contacted the person in charge.

Higuchi. That's the one, isn't it?

What do you mean?

You know that.

Satonaka!

Yes?

Here are the materials for the solo travel feature you asked for.

Wow, these many? Thank you so much!

I'll do my best for the location hunting.

I'm rooting for you.

Thanks.

Oh, this...

Hey, General Affairs!

Yes?

Did you refill the copy paper?

Oh, not yet. I'll get right on it.

What are you doing?

What if we need a printout in a hurry!

I'm so sorry.

It's because you're always so careless

that you can never become a full-fledged person.

I can't trust you with work if you're like that.

What was that? He shouldn't be so angry.

Don't worry about it.

He must be lacking calcium.

Satonaka.

Get some dried fish and give it to him.

Soybeans are good, too.

Maybe I'll make him a lunch box for location hunting.

I'm sorry about the other day.

Yeah, I got all dressed up for that.

We agreed to meet today.

I know it's short notice,

but I wanted to ask you to pretend to be my fiance again.

Why do you have to lie?

You like him, right?

That's not it.

It's just that I'm confused.

About what?

Until now,

I've thought that all men were the same.

It doesn't make a difference who I date.

Are you confused because that person is not like that?

I wonder what I have done.

This has never happened to me before.

What can I say?

I don't want to feel like this anymore.

So you'd rather

just put an end to it yourself.

That's love, right?

But...

Because he is the one I can't fall in love with.

Is there anyone like that?

Yes, there is.

It's complicated.

You're the one complicating things, aren't you?

Huh?

It's just...

If you like him, you can like him.

If you don't want to let go, don't let go.

If you don't want to regret it, why don't you just go for it?

You don't have to lie.

Well, I'm just saying I think so.

If you want to end this already, I'll back you up.

That's what I promised.

Guys, can I have a word?

It's about Satonaka...

Because of his wisdom tooth...

He can't speak in such a situation.

So I've decided to let him rest today and tomorrow.

So what about tomorrow's location hunting for the solo travel special?

I know, right?

Our deputy editor can't do this all alone.

Is there anyone who can go in his place?

I've got a lot of interviews tomorrow, like four or five.

Then?

Oh, I can't.

I can't be alone with the deputy editor. Right?

I can go tomorrow, but

I have to go to the tie-up place tomorrow to deal with some problems.

I'm sorry.

I don't know if I can communicate well with the deputy editor.

I mean that communication can be difficult...

It's okay.

I don't mind if I go.

Really?

But I have a special interview to cover.

Then you can't go.

What can we do...

Who's supposed to be going?

Deputy editor!

Have you decided who's going on location hunting?

Yes! It's perfect!

What, me?

Yes. The next issue will feature solo travels on the weekends.

It's a digital project that introduces recommended spots and travel outfits.

You've been supporting Satonaka,

so you know the gist of it, right?

Well, yes... Um, is this tomorrow and the day after?

Yes. Two days and one-night location hunting starting tomorrow.

Sorry for the short notice.

But you're the only one who can pinch hit for Satonaka.

Please!

Okay...

Aren't you stirring too much?

Natto should be stirred a hundred times.

It's common sense.

A hundred times?

I feel your obsession with natto.

It's done!

All right. You're gonna eat, right?

No, I'm not.

What?

I borrowed this rice cooker from the recipe book's editorial department.

Why don't you just eat at home?

Because I want to eat with you.

Okay? Come on!

Do me a favor and thank me for the cold medicine.

Please, is this what you want?

Well...

Okay, I guess I'll make three requests.

This is the first.

Okay, start from seventy-eight.

I got it.

Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty...

Hey, what's with the onion?

It's said to be good for colds.

Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!

Well done.

This is the best natto!

Here you go.

Bon appetite!

Wow, it's so good!

Right?

You're not going to be here tomorrow?

Yeah.

I hope the deputy editor is in a good mood.

He was angry today.

I always piss him off.

Aren't you going to tell him the truth?

Huh?

Like "I'm your childhood friend."

Or "You're my first love!"

No, I won't do that. It's too late now.

Why not?

Maybe he'll be nicer to you if you tell him.

No, I might piss him off more.

I'm fine with the way it is.

The way it is...

Huh?

Nothing.

Oh, no!

Huh? What?

You'll be late?

I'm sorry!

He's coming at 20:00, right?

I'll be there by then.

Okay.

If you don't want to regret it, why don't you just go for it?

You don't have to lie.

That's impossible.

Today, I'll put an end to this.

Ai.

Why? It's not our appointment time yet.

I arrived early.

Are you hungry?

Oh, yeah!

What would you like to eat?

What? What?

Ai?

Huh?

Ah.

Sosuke.

Now?

What shall we eat?

Maybe omelet rice.

So, after that...

Frisbee?

Huh?

That was fun, right?

Yeah.

It was fun.

I'm so sorry about the other day.

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah.

Also, sorry for the rush today.

I have a business trip tomorrow.

Business trip? To where?

Chiba to Kanagawa. A location hunting for the solo travel special.

Oh, that sounds fun.

Well, I don't know.

Is something bothering you?

No.

There is a staff with the same name as yours.

I'm going with that staff on this trip.

When I'm with her,

things always keep going the way that I don't expect.

So I'm worried about tomorrow.

I see.

Because he now thinks my best friend is his childhood friend, Sato Ai.

Because he is the one I can't fall in love with.

No way.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Take care of yourself on the business trip.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

(I'll get there about half an hour earlier.) Sorry, I can't come today.

Let's go.

Okay.

(Editor's Weekend Trip)

It's because you're always so careless

that you can never become a full-fledged person.

I can't trust you with work if you're like that.

I'm back!

Welcome back. Have you eaten?

I've already eaten. Sorry.

It's nothing to apologize for.

Yeah.

Due to short notice, I'm on a business trip tomorrow.

I see.

You're lonely, right?

I'm going to sleep with you today.

It's not that I'm lonely or anything...

I'm lonely!

The bed is a little crowded and you have to put up with it.

Okay.

Tomorrow's business trip, I'm going with Sosuke.

Oh, really?

Honestly, I'm a bit disturbed.

I'm afraid I'll piss him off again.

And what if he finds out who I am?

But I've decided that I'm going to work hard at Most.

I'd like to do my best at both proposing and location hunting.

I see.

Yeah.

Good night.

But still, that's the thing!

A solo weekend trip! That's a great idea!

Yeah.

Like hotels where women can stay alone, and courses to enjoy.

This kind of planning is really like Satonaka's style.

Yeah.

Satonaka also makes his own lunch every day!

That's amazing, right?

Hey.

Yes?

The signal's changing.

Oh, yes.

The first place is a flower garden full of beautiful flowers.

It's easy to get to and open long hours,

so many people come here alone.

It's so colorful and beautiful!

Yeah.

Right?

It is said to be a beneficial shrine for both marriages and romantic achievements.

There are many kinds of good luck charms and votive tablets,

and they're popular because they're so cute.

All girls.

I think this will make it easier for people to come alone.

Really?

This baumkuchen is number one in sales.

It seems that many single visitors buy them for themselves.

What do you think? Want one?

Yeah.

This is too awkward.

I think he's still mad at me.

But he gave me the onion...

I'll be driving.

Um, thank you for this!

Fifty meters ahead, to your left.

The road is so narrow. Is this the right direction?

You are good at driving.

I'm just average.

I thought you didn't drive a car or a motorcycle.

Oh, no, I mean...

You looked like a bad driver.

What? Why?

Oh, you just looked like that.

Are you trying to pick a fight?

No way. This is not like you.

What happened?

This road is so bad! No one can drive on such a narrow road.

Sorry, I don't look like a good driver.

Call someone to come and help.

There's nobody here.

Road service could be here in an hour.

An hour...

Please step on the gas to help me.

What?

I'm gonna push.

No, that's impossible!

Oh, come on!

You can't be serious.

Let's do it!

One more time. Ready!

I told you it's impossible.

Ready!

One more time. Ready!

Do you need to say that?

What? Do you have a better shout?

No, that's not what I meant.

Well, then.

Ready!

Ready!

Wow!

All right. Now we can press the gas pedal.

Deputy editor!

Ready!

Hey.

It's not funny.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'll get wet if I don't lift them.

It's so cold.

What are you doing, deputy editor?

What do you think? I'm working.

It feels good.

I hope it's not too sticky...

Hurry up!

Come on!

Your pants!

It's so cold!

You'll get wet.

You tell me.

It's beautiful.

Don't you feel like writing a letter?

Letter?

When I travel alone and see beautiful scenery,

I feel that it would be a waste to keep it all to myself.

At times like that, I feel like writing a letter.

I can write to my family, friends,

my past self or my future self.

Emails and phone calls are fine,

but there is something that only letters can offer.

The feel of the paper and the smell of the ink.

The one who received it can also feel the temperature of the person who wrote it.

That's right! Because it stays with you,

you can read it again and again, and it's easy to remember.

Yeah.

I once had a letter that saved my life, too.

When I first moved abroad,

I didn't know anyone, and I didn't speak the language.

There was a time when it was pretty hard for me.

But...

There was one friend who wrote to me from Japan.

(Sato Ai: I'll write to you again!)

(Sato Ai: I'll write to you again!) I'm doing well.

(Sato Ai: I'll write to you again!)

(Sato Ai: I'll write to you again!) I'm used to it here.

I'm used to it here.

To write back to her,

I tried to endure and persevere.

I see.

(Weekend Solo Travel's Outfits)

(A solo trip that makes you want to write a letter.)

Well...

That might be a good idea.

Huh?

Actually, I've been wondering if I could make it a stronger title.

Title?

A digital and print project requires

ingenuity to create maximum synergy between the two media, right?

I want an idea that will capture the reader's attention at a glance.

And this title might

(A solo trip that makes you want to write a letter.) make more sense than I thought.

By reminding people of the benefits of paper through the item of a letter,

we can lead digital readers to print media.

It would be nice if we could introduce spots where people can write letters slowly.

Maybe a terrace seat at a cafe overlooking this view.

Let's make a list.

Okay!

Good idea.

Let's go, Sato.

Let's go.

Sato Ai.

You said "Sato Ai"?

Huh?

Were you referring to me?

Huh? There's no one else here.

I was surprised because you always say "Hey, General Affairs.".

I've never called you that.

Hey, General Affairs.

Hey, General Affairs.

General Affairs.

Better than "tablet man", right?

Huh?

Hey, come on! You tablet man!

Shall we go to the next place?

Let's go.

What the hell was that?

(Hasebe Sosuke: Location Hunting)

(Sato Ai: Location Hunting)

Oh, no!

Hi!

How's your wisdom tooth?

I went to the dentist and now I'm fine!

See? Totally fine.

It's too late now!

You!

I got a reply from Miyagi.

He said he liked the new title and the addition of the cafe.

That's nice.

Then let him check out the cafes on the list.

Okay!

Thanks!

Please take your time.

Rocket pencils! So nostalgic.

It still exists?

Everyone took this to elementary school, right?

There were also roller erasers and kneaded erasers.

What else?

Well...

Not stationery, but that...

What's it called?

It's like a notebook where

you can ask others to write their names, hobbies, and other things.

Oh!

Profile books!

I wasn't the type to get along with girls and talk to them,

so I was a little jealous that all the boys were asked to write.

But...

I wrote one once.

Ai, this.

(Profile) You wrote it for me. Thank you.

(Love Talk)

(Is there someone you like?)

(Yes, there is.)

What did you write in that profile book?

What was it?

Harry Potter!

There was a question asking about the favorite movie.

I see.

Didn't you like Harry Potter?

I like it a lot. I even read the novels.

Those books are very thick.

Which one is your favorite in the series?

The Philosopher's Stone in terms of the excitement of reading it for the first time.

But I think my favorite is the Goblet of Fire.

We're the same! A match between the three schools of magic!

It's the best!

You're right.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you solve that problem?

Yeah. Is the feature article ready?

Yes, it's done.

What time will the deputy editor and Jackson be back?

They won't be back today.

They have a few more places to visit tomorrow, so they have to spend the night there.

What?

No!

Okay.

This should do it.

Let's start eating.

Okay!

What are you doing?

I don't like it. It's too dry.

I don't like it. It's too dry.

Huh?

Nothing.

By the way, what other novels do you read?

I like Kusunose Rin's works and read them often.

Oh, that mysterious masked novelist!

(The City of Spades) Oh, that mysterious masked novelist!

(Kusunose Rin) Oh, that mysterious masked novelist!

(Kusunose Rin)

I remember it was a hit in New York before Japan.

It's like reimportation.

But Kusunose's gender, age, and face are all undisclosed, right?

People don't even know if Kusunose is Japanese.

Yeah, but I think Kusunose is Japanese.

Kusunose's novels are more appealing when read in Japanese than in English.

I'm sure Kusunose thinks in Japanese and then translates it into English.

Wow!

Every time I read Kusunose's novels,

they reminded me of Japan and made me want to go home.

It's great that you came back.

Yeah.

I'm so glad.

Huh?

Oh, nothing.

(Ishizuka: Let's go get a drink.)

You haven't contacted me in a while. Let's meet soon.

This...

I was thinking about the day we did the puzzle together,

and I couldn't wait to see you.

It's not me, right?

It's a little late,

but I want to return this to you.

And...

I want to thank you for that day.

It's all right. Don't worry.

That's okay.

My mother died when I was in elementary school.

Because of an accident on a rainy day.

Since then, when I see an accident on a rainy day,

I sometimes become like that.

You know how rotating warning lights flicker, right?

I don't like it.

Oh, I see.

You don't know why I'm telling you this, right?

Not at all.

It's going to be a beautiful day tomorrow.

Hey, look.

It's a beautiful day tomorrow.

In the past...

There was a girl who said the same thing to me.

Huh?

♪Hydrangea♪

♪Even your tears are beautiful♪

No, it's nothing.

♪You're my heroine♪

Let's go.

♪You're my heroine♪

Oh, by the way, we're going to stay at...

Ouch!

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

I'm all right.

Come on.

Okay.

Thanks.

Huh?

I haven't seen adults fall like this in a long time.

What were you doing?

I'm sorry...

But you fell earlier, too.

Oh.

♪Hydrangea♪

♪Even your tears are beautiful♪

My first love, who I loved so much,

always smiled like this.

Maybe nothing had changed at all.

He's still the kind, clumsy,

and loving Sosuke as in the past.

I thought I didn't want you to know the truth.

Deputy editor.

Huh?

But really...

I always wanted...

Maybe I wanted you to know.

Deputy editor.

There's something I need to tell you.

Actually...

I...

(Preview: They're approaching each other.)

(Preview: They're approaching each other.) Hey, Sato. A moment.

(Preview: They're approaching each other.) Aren't they getting along?

(Ai will be fired?) Lies hurt people the most.

(Ai will be fired?) I quit.

(Ai will be fired?) It was a short time, but it was fun.

The future of our staff depends on your plan.

I'll only date people I really like.

What are you doing?

The sky is beautiful.

I don't know why I fell in love with him.

I hate being deceived the most.

I can finally relax.

(This drama is fictional.)
