- It was ordinary. - Ordinary?

Why don't you affectionately depend on him?

I think you should depend on others more.

Something is not right.

You are quite troublesome. I thought you were more mature.

I shouldn't have hired him to be my boyfriend.

- Nothing happened the other day. - Eh?

Don't worry.

You are a man of words.

You always talk like you know everything, but do you actually know anything or can you really do anything?

What are you doing?

I wanted to show you that I am not just a man of words.

? So good, but I can't eliminate the anxiety ?

? I try not feel it and fall asleep at 3:00 am?

? It is not anywhere?

? near perfect?

? But I like my life as it is?

? I will promise you many times ?

Oh, Ikeda-san. I am leaving now.

I'm sorry I am not finished with work yet.

It will be another hour or two before I finish.

That's okay. Please go ahead and work today.

Okay. I am so sorry, and also for the last time.

We are both busy, you know.

- Did something happen? - Eh?

Something bad happened at work?

No, nothing happened. I'm fine.

I see. It seemed you wanted to talk to me about something today.

Oh, well. Maybe next time.

Good luck on your work.

Thanks. Well then, see you.

See you.

? My brand new world ?

[ Are you relieved? Or do you feel lonely? ]

- Nakahara-san. - Yes.

What shall we do about Takayama-san's credits?

Publicity Dept. Wants us to decide whether we use "supervisor" or "contributor" for advertisement.

Right. It was not decided yet.

Would you ask what Takayama-san's preference is?

Okay... I got it.

Please wait a moment. Nakahara-san.

- Yes? - These people are here to cover us for their magazine.

I know this is sudden, but may I take some of your time?

- What kind of article? - It's a feature article to introduce our company as a whole.

This is arranged by President, so...

Okay.

There is also a photographer. Is it okay to take pictures of you?

Ah, well... Alright...

So, what do you do in this department?

Planning/developing romance apps, creating scripts,

and coordinating with other departments. We are in charge of apps production.

What apps are you working on?

Sorry, but we can't talk about apps before release.

So, please take a look at this first. Please.

- I'm sorry. - Don't worry.

Is there something wrong?

Well, I think it is kind of childish.

- What is? - I'm sorry. It's my personal opinion.

What's that? He's so rude.

I'm sorry. That one has not been released yet.

I am sorry.

Wait a minute. What are you doing all of a sudden?

Is your face confidential, too?

Would you focus on apps?

Excuse me, I am going to take you to System Dept.

- Thank you very much. - You are welcome.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me now.

What's with him?

- Hello. - Hello, this is Takayama.

Oh, h-hello.

Is it about your credits?

Credits? What about it?

I told you about it last time.

Oh, credits. I forgot about it.

- Well, we are not in a hurry. - Right.

Gosh, on the phone? Give me a break.

Cold.

- What? - Nothing.

I have something I want to tell you.

Oh, okay.

How about 3:00 today?

- That'll be fine. - Let's talk about credits too then.

He hung up on me so abruptly.

Subtitles Brought To You By The Lady Girls Team @ Viki.

- Hello. - Welcome.

Oh?

- He went out to take care of some business. - Eh?

We are supposed to meet.

Hello.

Hello.

- Takayama-san. - Hello.

- Oh? - Oh, my.

It says she has a meeting with you. [ Meeting with Takayama-san ]

What's going on?

Maybe she went to your place.

Oh, I didn't tell her I would come here?

- What's the meeting about? - Eh?

Eh? Okay. That's fine.

Takayama-san went to my office.

You missed each other, as I thought.

Thank you very much.

Since when has he started coming to this place?

Well... I don't remember. A long time ago.

Does he write here every day?

Yes. But he hasn't written anything satisfactory yet.

Master, I found manuscripts in the desk drawer over there.

These? So you found them, huh.

He has been searching for something

that can truly satisfy him.

What you need for your romance is decisiveness.

It is like jumping into cold bath water.

You can't be timid to have romance.

- Right. - I see.

Those people who are in lukewarm water for a long time, what should they do?

How about pulling out a bath plug?

Pulling out a bath plug? That's deep.

This is not a romance seminar.

Okay, I am leaving now.

Sensei, thank you very much.

I am not 'sensei, ' I told you.

So long.

Oh?

Takayama-san. What did you come here for anyway?

That was just malfunction.

- Malfunction? - Right. Malfunction.

Please tell that to Nakahara Aki.

Good work.

Soon, we are developing apps for overseas market.

- That's great. - It's not for Holloywood though.

Come on. Don't talk about that.

Great. You are here.

- I had hard time finding you. - For what?

For what? I wanted to see you one more time, Moeko-san.

Oolong tea, please.

I had fun the other day,

being scoled, complained and told I was no good.

Are you super masochist, by any chance?

Yeah, I might be.

Gross. Would you sit far away from us?

I'm free to sit wherever I want. Right?

Gosh, so annoying.

Shall we go somewhere else?

We don't have to leave.

In a movie, there is a line like this.

I'm not listening to you.

Please listen. I did some research for this.

Shut up.

Please, just once.

No, thank you.

Why not just once?

You think so? Okay, go ahead.

Thank you.

It is a line from Forest Gump.

"Life is like a box of chocolate."

"You never know what you are gonna get."

So?

Don't you think it beautifully portrays life?

Coming from a weirdo like you, it doesn't sound convincing.

Sorry to say, you are also quite weird.

You are so rude. What part of me is weird?

The way you flare up unnescessarily, for example.

What are you saying?

Well, that's your charm.

Is work keeping you busy?

I have to go on a business trip suddenly.

You are so busy.

I hope it goes well.

Thanks. Sorry for the other day.

I will call you later.

What a useless guy!

I am surprised there are weird guys like him.

He said you were also quite weird.

Ignore what he said.

It sounds like you are complaining about your boyfriend.

How can it be?

I am jealous, quite a bit.

Eh?

Let's go back.

Hey, what's the matter, all of a sudden?

Hey, wait.

You're thinking about the other women. I will break up with them right now.

It's such a hassle. Might as well send mass emails.

[ To Aizawa Maki, Inoue Yoko... Kudo Miwa...] [ Let's break up. ]

Kudo-san. This scene where a female lead is dumped,

don't you think it happens too soon?

It is not too soon. I knew it was coming.

Eh?

Nothing.

- Nakahara-san. - Hmm? - Takayama-san is nice.

What's the matter, all of a sudden?

It seems he had established his own identity.

I don't know if the identity is established in a right direction though.

I want to be mature like him.

You have a bad taste. If you think he is nice, that's fine.

If I become like him,

- I... -What?

Well, it's nothing. Sorry.

Here. This is okay. I'm going to PR Dept.

Okay.

- Oh, right. - What? - Takayama-san

asked me to tell you "That was just malfunction."

- What's that? - Well, he said you would understand if I tell you.

Come on. What malfunction?

Gosh, it's awful.

Lady Girls ~Episode 6~.

He should have taken a pocket tissue out.

Where this money came from?

Mom. Can you wash this-- AH!

That is mine!

Hey, wait up. What is with that money?

- Well, you know this is... - What do you mean?

- I did a part-time job. - A part-time job?

- A part-time job. - What kind is it?

It's a convent-- convenience store.

A convenience store? Which one?

[ Tsubaki ]

[ Set price: 2,000 yen... Bottle: 3,000 yen and up ]

Hello, this is Sawada.

I am calling about Ryo-kun.

I will call you again.

Hello?

Ah, I am sorry. Can you talk now?

Yes.

In regards to bullying situation for Ryo-kun,

I have been looking into it, getting help from from the student guidance teacher.

We need to be very careful, so we need more time.

Thank you very much.

Well...

I will call you again.

E- Excuse me.

Yes?

Aoi-kun is...

I shouldn't be asking for advice from Ryo's homeroom teacher.

No, it is alright.

I don't know what to do.

What is the place called? I will look it up on the net now.

Well, that is...

It is called Tsubaki Part 3.

Ah, it is located in Kabuki-cho.

Kabuki-cho? (the location of many host and hostess clubs, love hotels, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs)

Should we go together?

Well...

You don't feel comfortable going by yourself, do you?

Well that is true but...

I would like to help a person I like.

Then I shouldn't let you come with me.

I am sorry for telling you about this.

Thank you very much. Good bye now.

Wow, it worked out? That is great.

Thanks. He said that he would meet my mother as well.

What? He is?

What about you, Aki?

What me?

Don't remind me something unpleasant.

What is it?

He kissed me.

What? Who did?

Takayama!

I am really upset about this, but

he said that was malfunction.

What is that?

I don't know, either. I'll just pretend it didn't happen.

Can you pretend it didn't happen?

Of course, I can!

There is no way something would happen with that crazy guy.

I see.

What about you, Moeko?

Do you want to keep going with President?

Well, he sure has lots of problems, but

when I think about being alone the rest of my life,

it is better not have that worry.

Hey, do you think like that, too?

I...

to be honest, I don't want to get hurt anymore.

It is good that Ikeda-san is there for you.

Yes.

It is your life, so it is your decision, but...

you need to be true to your feelings, okay?

My life? My, you are overreacting.

Smells good. I can't do without it.

It feels so good.

My feelings, huh?

[ Feeling good ]

What? What is this, Chikuwa?

A pimple? Tangled hair?

What is this, huh?

Ouch.

Hello?

Are you at home now?

Yes, I am.

Can we meet now?

Huh? Now?

Actually, I am nearby.

What?

Okay.

No way.

It hurts. Ouch!

Ouch, ouch.

I can't go barefaced like this.

Okay.

I don't care how it is now.

What is the matter?

I am sorry for calling you out so suddenly.

Don't worry.

I needed to talk to you.

Ah.

This is not something that we should discuss on the phone.

Okay.

Well...

It has been decided that my next project will be very huge that the entire company will work on it.

Wow. That is great.

Thank you.

That is why I have been very busy lately.

I haven't had time meeting with you, either.

To be honest, I am relieved.

I realized that it is more comfortable to be able to focus on my things, not having to go with other people.

I am sorry. It is not you.

I don't have confidence to have someone else in my life and live on feeling responsible.

I thought things would work out with you, Aki-san.

I thought, if we went further more, we wouldn't be able to turn back.

That would be very rude to you.

You are strong enough to live by yourself, Aki-san.

I am...

I also wondered if we should keep going.

I almost fell in love with you.

I am glad we didn't a timing when we could still turn back.

I am sorry.

? You gave water to someone you didn't know?

?Thank you! But I don't have anything to give back?

?You and your precious things around you?

?I will think of all those thing?

?and forgive me for shedding tears? ?I will make a flower bouquet with them?

?You and your precious things around you?

?I will think of all those things?

Here you go.

I didn't order this.

Don't worry about it.

Thanks. I will take it.

Sure, enjoy.

?By making a heart-warming flower bouquet ?

It is delicious as usual.

I had to try many times to complete the sweet beans toast to be what it is now.

I can tell.

Yes.

That is all (you want to say), master?

If I didn't have any interest, I wouldn't have continued until I was satisfied.

"Find something that catches your interest," you are saying?

Who said that?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Lady Girls Team @ Viki.

Here is another glass.

Please enjoy.

Ah!

Hello.

Have we met somewhere?

Ah!

- Beer, please. - Okay.

One beer!

Who asked you to sit next to me?

It was empty anyway.

I don't feel like talking to anybody right now.

Thank you for waiting.

Then we should just drink quietly.

Huh? You seem different from the last time...

- I was rude? - Yes, you were.

That was not the job I wanted to do.

Then what job do you want to do?

Taking pictures of a woman I like.

Would it be nice to make a living by doing only that?

Of course, it is.

Hey! Don't take it without permission.

Then give me a permission, please.

- No. - Why not?

There are times when I don't want to smile.

You need to smile when you are taken pictures of...

That is how amateurs think.

There are times when people look attractive drinking over sad events,

and I want to take pictures of them.

You might want to take one, but I don't want to be in it.

Too bad. Your facial expression now is great.

Hey, what are you doing?

- Stay down. - Stop it.

- Why can't we? - Stop it now.

I will comfort you.

What are you doing?

Trying to sleep with a girl who feels down is the worst thing to do.

Ouch.

You are acting pure, at your age?

I'm not young. So what? Women are women no matter how old we are.

That is why you forcefully tried to sleep with me.

Wait up!

Let's go to where girls are.

You look great, girl!

She sure does.

Wow, you are not a girl...

I am sorry for not being a girl!

Good morning.

Oh, good morning.

Nakahara-san. You have a scratch on your neck.

My cat scratched me.

I see.

Thanks for working hard.

You too.

Nakahara-san.

- Yes? - Sorry for the other day.

No worries.

This is a proof sheet for the feature article.

Oh, thank you.

This is between you and me, but

that photographer has caused woman troubles

with female clients and models wherever he went.

What? Really?

He is the worst.

Please be careful, Nakahara-san.

Yeah... Oh, I forgot about the meeting.

I'm going now. Sorry.

Tsubaki Part 1.

Tsubaki...

Part 2.

Tsubaki... Part 3. That's it.

Aoi...

- Hey, Sakata. - Yes.

Did you buy plates I asked you?

I will go buy them right after I'm done with this.

You idiot!

Why do I have to wait for you?

I'm sorry. I am going right now.

I'm surprised you found out about this.

Why are you working there, of all the places?

Hourly wage is higher than the other places.

Why? Why do you need money so badly?

Because... we need money, right?

Eh?

Considering nii-chan (big bro) as well...

I don't want you to suffer any more.

I also want to save college fund by myself.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

Because, if I told you, you would have said "I'll take care of money." and.

"You should study." Isn't that right?

I was about to say that now.

See?

Don't worry about me. Why don't you get a boyfriend?

What are you saying? You fool.

Why don't YOU get a girlfriend yourself?

Yeah, I will. You don't have to tell me that.

- My, you are talking big. - I can get one.

That's unheard of.

- Sakata. - Yes. (They replied at the same time.)

What about the plates?

Ah, sorry. I'm going now.

Thank you.

[ Nakahara Aki's secret ]

Eh?

What's this mail?

Is this true?

[ Nakahara Aki has always had man troubles. She forced Satonaka Takeshi, a photographer, to have sex with him at a hotel...]

Wow, it's disgusting.

Subtitles Brought To You By The Lady Girls Team @ Viki

I have to focus on work.

Oh, is that right...

I'm back.

Hmm? What's the matter?

Hello. This is Nakahara.

Eh?

Excuse me.

We have a situation.

Something happened?

[ Nakahara Aki has always had man troubles. She forced Satonaka Takeshi, a photographer, to have sex with him at a hotel...]

What's this?

I don't know who is the sender, but all the emloyees here received the mail.

Is it true?

I didn't do this.

You have nothing to do with this photographer?

That is...

It seems something happened.

It was my mistake to drink until I lost consciousness. But, I didnt' do anything.

Even if you didn't do anything, the fact that this picture was taken is a problem enough.

Our company is listed now.

We have to comply with regulations.

I have to investigate it to be safe.

Eh?

During that period, would you take days off?

Gosh... It sounds like this is a fact.

Of course, you have a right to refuse the investigation.

But, for the sake of the image of our company, I want to investigate it, as a formality.

Then, you want me to sacrifice myself for the company?

I am asking you to do this because you have helped me to grow this company.

While you are off, I will ask Kudo-kun to be a leader.

IDs and passwords are here.

Okay.

And, the approval seals are here, too.

I informed our clients myself.

But, please contact them yourself, Kudo-san.

I got it.

Thank you very much.

I know I will be causing you trouble.

Thank you for taking care of it.

Nakahara-san!

I believe in you.

Thank you.

You are coming back, aren't you?

I'll be waiting for you.

I... Nakahara-san... I...

Maekawa-san.

Please come right away. We have a problem.

Ah, okay.

See you.

Please don't say things unnecessary.

You have only to keep quietly smiling.

Please. See you later.

Why don't we go have a drink now?

Sorry. I can't tonight.

Me too. I have to stay with my kids tonight.

Sorry. Thank you very much.

[ Tsurumaki Hot Springs] [ Why don't you have a break from 'working hard'? ]

This is Kurita Junichi-san.

- This is -- - I'm Kinue, Moeko's mom. She always talks about you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kurita.

I took her to the cram school every day so that she could get into the junior high school we wanted her to get in,

and I worked part-time to pay for tuition.

You did?

She had a hard time finding a job after she graduated from college.

I always thought that it would be good for her to have a special skill.

I'm the one who suggested her to be in flower business so she could get a qualification

and eventually have her own store.

That's why you are working at the flower shop?

By the way, how much do you make a year, Junichi-san?

Hey, mom.

It's important.

I'm asking him for you, Moeko. Right?

My company is doing well, so I make enough to live comfortably.

Yeah? What about your family?

How are your parents? It won't be easy for her to live with them.

Stop it.

They are in good health. They live with my brother and his wife.

Oh, really. Then, it's good.

She can't cook at this age.

So, when she gets married, I think I will have to live nearby and visit her house to cook.

That's what you want, right? That way, you can focus on work.

When she has children, I can take care of them.

Sorry, my mother can be pushy. You must be tired.

Have you...

lived as your mother told you?

I don't think I did.

She chose your school and work for you, right?

It's just that we happened to

have wanted the same things.

I bet she meddled with your past boyfriends.

What?

You can't ignore what she says after all, can you?

That's... because she is the only family I have.

Who is more important to you? Your mother or me?

It's fine when I'm your boyfriend.

But, I can't marry you.

What?

When we get married, that mother will be at our house every day and meddle in.

I can't stand that.

I see.

But,

that's my life.

Welcome.

Master, give me tequila.

Okay.

- Hi. - Hi.

Are you wondering why I'm not here with the girls?

No.

Some nights, I would like to drink alone.

You are not worried about me?

About what?

Why I'm down.

Not really.

If you want to talk to yourself, I'll be here listening.

Mother and daughter, huh?

That kind of issue is outside of my field.

Don't say that.

Here is a line from a movie called "Mr. Holland's Opus."

"Parents are the most important teachers for children."

This is how the real one does...

- What? - No, it's nothing.

I feel better after talking to you.

The problem is not solved though. You're just putting it off.

That's okay for today.

Is that so?

Oh, yeah. Since we're here, let's call Aki.

No.

We don't need Aki.

Why not? Sorry about earlier.

I'm drinking with Takayama-san. Why don't you come?

Oh, she read it.

Eh? [ I came to a hot spring by myself. ]

- I came to a hot spring by myself. - What?

"I came to a hot spring by myself?"

"Tell Takayama-san that someone else will be in charge of my project."

- Hmm. [ What do you mean? ]

[ I got sidelined. ]

What?

At a hot spring by herself...

She's on a trip to heal a broken heart. It's so easy to read her.

"It's like I'm getting drawn into it"...? What is this? [ It's like I'm getting drawn into it. ]

I've seen a lot of scenes where someone jumps off a cliff in two-hour dramas.

What? What? Wait.

Cliff... Sandals... A suspension bridge...

A rail track and coal briquettes...

It can't be.

I... I'm calling her.

I came to a hot spring by myself!

Please.

It's like I'm getting drawn into it!

A lot of women travel alone lately.

Oh, that's good. Okay.

No. She's not picking up.

With her personality, who knows what she would do when she's pushed to the edge. What should we do?

A strong person like her breaks when she's bent. Should I say she lacks suppleness?

? Don't look down on me ?

This is not good.

Yes. Takayama-san. Please come with me.

Hah?

- Oh, what? - Is it her?

[Help me, Moeko. Come home right now.] Oh, no! It's my mother!

I'm worried about Aki...

Oh, well. She is a trouble maker.

Oh, it's good!

I'm going to drink it all and forget everything.

? I don't want to be betrayed anymore ?

? So good, but I can't eliminate the anxiety ?

? I try not feel it and fall asleep at 3:00 am? How did this happen?

? It is not anywhere near perfect ?

? But I like my life as it is ?

? I will promise you many times ?

? It's beautiful to stand up to it ?

? Don't be afraid and be confident ?

? I will open the door again tomorrow ?

? My brand new world ?

? My brand new world ?

Do you want to pick up what we left off?
