Yes!

Thank you for your hard work today.

Thank you! See you next day!

- Aki! - Huh?

Aki!

- Oh yeah. - Well done.

Thank you for your hard work today.

I'm gonna be so lovey-dovey with my boyfriend, now.

Yumi!

- Why are you so late? - Sorry.

See you later!

What? What is that?

Something happened?

Let's see.

He's a player on our team.

- Be patient. - Are you okay?

It's not him.

What a relief.

Cool!!!

Awesome!

Yamato!

Wasn't that great?

Fight, fight!

Go, go, go!

Yes!

Bang!

Maybe

I don't care...

Yes?

Even if it was one night stand

'cause I really enjoyed it too.

We will, we will rock you!

It's nothing special

Just cherishing a few fans to be fair.

Sometimes just touching

Like this!

Go ahead please, this meal is for you.

I can't believe it.

What?

A team member was taken by the ambulance, right?

How can you be so leisured and cheerful?

Did I say something funny?

Idiots!

She called us idiots.

We are used to be injured,

That's why it may look like we're careless.

We are not a big game like baseball or soccer,

Not very popular, too.

Still, everyone of us are crazy about hockey.

We quickly forget about scars.

Especially Haru, right?

He is so fearless, that his strength influences everyone.

If you ask him what's only fun in life

He will answer - the hockey!

When it comes to Yamato, it's only wealth.

Great! No, I mean I could feel your grace.

Grace? Are you really?

Close the deal with her!

It should be natural to worry for your injured team mate.

No one here dies that easily.

Win!!!

I.. Wakabayashi, back on track!

You see, right?

- I'm sorry for worrying you, captain. - Are you okay?

Yes, there is nothing wrong, I'm taking this off tomorrow.

But is your right hand okay?

- No problem at all. - All right.

- May I ask the next question? - Yes?

Are you saying you don't have a lover right now?

A lover?

- My lover... - Excuse me but such a question...

It's okay, it doesn't matter.

Let me see.

Oh, cameraman, this way!

Attention everyone!

Today I have someone I want to introduce to you.

This girl is my...

Mama!

Everyone, today's side dish is dumplings.

After garlic, it's like apple juice rather than milk.

Are you alright?

Ah, it was non-alcoholic.

Haru-san and I don't drink during the season.

I pretend to drink in company because I don't want to ruin the mood.

You seem like the man who would cherish his girlfriend.

Am I wrong?

I don't know what to say...

Could you ever have an affair?

I wouldn't!

Really?

Everything I find hurtful I don't mean to the others.

Don't you even lie?

That's right.

I'm so glad.

Actually,

I have something to tell you about it.

This car...

Ouch.

Sorry.

Are you alright?

Sorry.

You're strong but gentle at the same time.

What about the car?

In fact, it's a Turbo, goes to 200 km/h at once!

200 km/h? Awesome!

What a car!

My car is so good.

In what way?

Are you still mad because I called you "Mama"?

Not really.

I couldn't help it, if I introduced you as my lover

You might be bothered later by those people.

It doesn't matter.

It does matter! We are on a "temporary love contract"

Until your boyfriend comes back.

Oh, I've made a silly deal.

Didn't you agree?

You only counted advantages for you, not the bad.

Maybe it's more convenient for you?

For me?

You can play with me for a while and then...

Like a tissue?

Yes, just like a tissue.

You're thinking too much.

I can't help it.

Overthinking.

Please take care of your contraception! Right?

It's a joke, joke, joke!

I will not do anything.

If you don't do anything, what's the meaning of our deal?

So do you want to do something?

What's something?

How about a kiss?

- You're the lowest. - Go ahead.

What? A joke!

Shall we sing?

Which one, Japanese pop song or a foreign?

You don't have to do anything.

How about taking care of yourself a little more?

What? Taking care of myself?

The hockey!

Oh right, are you taking care of my health?

But I can't help it because that's how hockey is.

I didn't know it was so violent.

But do you like watching sports?

So bloody and painful, not really...

To be honest, I prefer a girls like that

Rather than the fans just screaming while we fight.

That's fine.

However...

I don't want to force you,

But I'd like you to watch me.

Don't look away.

If you do that,

I'll become stronger.

You say that to everyone, I presume.

No...

Ah, just those who weight less than 60kg.

Hm...

- May... - Maybe!

It's not funny!

Don't tell me you want to sleep separated?

What?

I don't think you have a fever. Good night.

I have to give you a present.

A present?

Give me your hand.

It's alright.

Here.

A molar.

It dropped out in today's match.

Yes?

I don't want it.

Then I'm going.

Hey, I really don't need this.

Why? Have it as a charm.

This can't be a talisman.

Why not? It contains my soul.

How can it be a soul?

It's a pride.

A pride?

By Haru Satonaka.

Uh, it hurts.

Wataru!

Here!

Catch!

- Hello. - Satonaka-kun.

Surprisingly, the roads were not jammed.

- Come in. - Oh, then excuse me.

Oh, it's cold.

- Take this slippers. - Thank you.

Excuse me.

I'll be going then.

- I'm preparing tea right now. - No, I have to decline.

What are you doing here?

Isn't it obvious?

Let me bring your coat.

- Here. - Thank you.

So...

Farewell.

Excuse me, more rice!

Ah!

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Are you living near?

I recently moved out from a bachelor's dormitory.

Can I sit here please?

Go ahead, sit down.

Oh, it's fried horse mackerel.

Welcome!

Please give me the same.

Yes!

Do you live near?

Yes.

It's right over there,

Two-storey apartments building.

Me, too.

You, again?

I got it! Must be that white mansion on the corner, right?

Really nice one.

You still have to eat at place like this.

As you see.

May I ask...

Yes?

How are you related to Satonaka-san?

I was his junior in high school.

You can ask me anything about him, anything.

We...

We made a love contract, like a game.

Ah, you too.

It seems he did that with a lot of women.

Well...

Oh, no.. it's fine.

Actually,

I'm involved in a long distance relationship.

So either this or that.

Why are you dating both then?

I haven't been contacted for a 2 years.

Naturally, it may look undecent to make such a deal.

Hey,

You found Haru-san attractive?

No, not because of that.

Then why?

"I've never felt lonely. Not even once."

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you.

Thanks

I've known Hyodo-san since the beginning.

Anzai and him were on the same team from school days.

They were rivals back then.

Was that related to Youko-san as well?

What?

I'm sorry.

I'm not that popular, you know?

Have a tea.

Thank you.

Hyodo-san came to pay respect

To his former colleague's house, that's all.

I said that I was working part-time,

So he offered to introduce me to a proper job.

I'm feeling a bit mind-sick now,

If I say hatred, it would be a bit too much

But that's what I feel for Anzai.

I have two feelings, that one and the loneliness.

Hatred?

I couldn't see Anzai's end.

He didn't choose to die beside me,

He picked you, Satonaka-kun.

That's...

I was not loved at all.

That's not true.

Because you respected him very much.

Maybe even blindly.

Because he was that kind of a man.

It doesn't mean anything to women.

Have you been loved,

Or not,

That's what matters.

Is it unreasonable to continue to honor him?

Can't we continue to live thinking about Anzai ideal?

I don't like the fact

From now on, that you.. Youko-san will love someone else.

Of course, I will protect Wataru and Youko-san from now on.

- Satonaka-kun! - So,

So...

... to no one,

Please, don't give your heart.

It's so strict.. that sympathy you preach.

About your love.

Haru-san appeared on TV show once when he was young.

On TV?

A variety show, something like searching for lost people.

Ah...

His mother ran away with a young man.

One day after kindergarten,

A mother who should always be waiting home

Suddenly disappeared.

His mother?

With his older brother who was primary schooler

He was asked to call for her in public,

His brother cried,

But he didn't shed a tear.

"Why didn't you?"

I asked him.

He said...

What?

"Maybe my heart is frozen."

He laughed after saying that.

"I've never felt lonely. Not even once."

It must be because he spent a lifetime in loneliness.

A lifetime in loneliness?

That's why the coach said,

The one that Haru-san respected.

He told him not to be in a serious relationship

Or he will lose himself in fear while playing hockey.

But Haru-san probably can't fall in love,

So he turns it into a game.

When his mother abandoned him,

What can he expect from other women?

Maybe he chosen me because I'm the woman who's waiting?

A woman waiting for a boyfriend who hasn't contacted her for two years.

Perhaps.

But really,

I'm no longer waiting.

I gave up a long time ago.

I'm not that good woman after all.

Not true!

I'm surprised that guy even talks like that to the others.

I thought that he always acts cool.

We talk about everything.

I don't know why, but that's how it is.

Ah!

Let me say! I think I know why.

Yes?

'Cause you're the man from good ancient past.

What does that mean?

See you.

Yes?

Really nice building...

Oh!

- Farewell! - Farewell!

Wakabayashi, Nobuta and Yabu!

Yes!

Okay

Coach, 5 minutes left.

Kimamura, Takagi and Mori!

Haru-san!

3 men, 3 men body check!

You're simple, Satonaka.

Your movements are easy to intercept.

You're just aiming for a goal with the shortest path.

The opposing teams are researching every season.

They don't need to focus on others

It's enough to break your line.

Instead of trying to score goals on your own, how about using your team mates a bit more?

That way you can do more yourself.

If someone comes to block me, I'll just break through.

It's our hockey to squeeze open through a small space.

Our's? Not your's?

More like Anzai's.

Stop it Haru!

What the coach say makes sense.

We're in trouble trying to follow up your speed.

You were jealous of Anzai-san?

Jealous of his lightning play,

Everyone in the audience was a fan of Anzai.

Well, they say that you were on our team for a while,

But I don't remember you at all.

- Wait a minute, Haru. - Stop it, Haru.

You went to study technique.

But the technique you're talking about is just theory, without a spirit.

- Watch your manners, Haru. - It doesn't matter.

So?

In the end, you just ran away.

Even if it takes years, you can't match him.

So?

Don't get closer to Youko-san.

Haru, what are you talking about?

If you approach her, I won't forgive you.

Good work, there's no shampoo.

Yes

Haru!

Just like a child.

Oh, do you want to watch this at my house?

'cause I never had girls in my flat.

Women always try to make a nest at men's place,

Wearing pink pajamas and setting toothbrushes.

Saying, I'll clean it up a bit, and then do the laundry.

They try to make food after and even if it's no good, it feels something.

Then it won't be a game any more.

Why are you murmuring like that?

However, in your flat

Wouldn't be better if I just come, have fun and go back, leaving no trace?

I might feel lonely that way.

You can't be lonely, it's a game according to our contract.

Shouldn't be the other way around? We got a game because it's bad to be lonely.

- Either way is the same. - It's completely different.

Ah, there!

First,

Sophia Loren's Sunflower.

And Claudia Cardinale's Midnight Lovers.

Woman decides to keep waiting for the man arrested by the resistance.

Shall we take this too? Vivian Lee's Sorrow.

She keeps missing the man she thought was dead in a war

Then ends up ruining herself as a prostitute.

But in the end the man comes back alive.

They're all the same heroine.

What?

Always waiting.

Let me hold'em. Sorry.

I...

I'm leaving up to you.

You'll be served.

How nice.

You don't even care about the price.

I don't know what to choose anyway.

Joking again, do you come here often?

This table is in the middle, the best spot!

No, that's...

What is your father's profession?

My father is a veterinarian in the rural Saga county.

Oh no, he's in to several businesses.

You'll eventually take over the business, right?

Well, who knows?

- What about relatives? - I'm an only child.

Then you're the only one for succeeding.

I guess so.

Oh, I'm sorry

For keep asking these questions.

No, I don't mind.

I'm anxious.

Anxious?

My mother struggled with various things because of money.

She got divorced but my father never gave alimony for child support.

Therefore,

You might find me as a bad woman,

But these matters are very important to me.

Of course, it's impossible to pick the man who doesn't fit at all.

At least you need to be inside my strike zone.

At least?

They say that men tend to change, from dating to marriage.

I won't.

Everyone says that at the begining.

So even if love disappears in the meantime

Even if you find a younger love, it should be fine.

The hardest thing would be to left me with no support.

You.. are a sad person, aren't you?

Why?

I'm not sad.

I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to be sad later.

I'm not a cunning woman who hides these thoughts.

I'm good at doing housework

And as long as you love me, I will love you back.

Did I make you to dislike me?

No, I think it's good to be honest.

Did he say that?

It's so funny.

What's weird?

No, I'm surprised that he believed in my story.

What?

My parents are still fine.

Besides, they're so in love that I'm embarrassed to even look at them.

What are you staring at so intently?

I'm reading your defense's movements with my eyes.

You want green peas?

Hey, if it's true, can you introduce me?

It's not like that we have serious relationship.

Because it's a game?

Yeah

Not because it isn't true??

Right.

The ideal parents like that exist only on TV,

There're none in reality...

It's a game like I told you!

Sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

The story told by Yamato-san,

I don't care if it's real or made up.

It doesn't matter.

I feel sympathy for you.

If that really happened,

It's not strange that you've become like that.

It's really sad.

I won't cry.

That's the reason you can't cry.

That also explains why you're interested

In a foolish woman who has been waiting for a man

With no contact for two years.

But the truth is, I've already given up for a long time.

I'm sure that he won't come back now.

It doesn't even matter if I still think about it,

The fact is, I haven't had a good opportunity in the meantime.

That's all.

So if you're looking for someone,

Waiting and watching over just like a mother...

It may sound cruel, but it's burdensome and annoying.

Did I ask you for your milk?

Are you going to tell me in the future?

Doesn't that mean something else?

I do not know! You're always acting like this.

So, why me?

Probably just like the other girls.

You look so shiny on the rink.

Then, if the light fades after my retirement, would I look a shabby?

I was going to watch this with you but something doesn't feel like it anymore.

Can you return these for me?

Bye-bye

Anyway, I'm not that kind of woman. I'm just an ordinary working woman.

I'm not clinging to work.

It's not like there's something I want to achieve or something to chase after.

I'm just an ordinary office worker.

Not a woman from the good old days, but a modern woman available now.

I go to group dates,

I want to to be with my boyfriend on Christmas or birthdays.

I'm really just an ordinary woman with all there is.

Are you listening to me?

I'm a pirate.

Oh, yes! How was the restaurant that Tomo-san recommended?

How difficult is it to make a reservation?

It was so expensive that my eyeballs popped out!

Did you break up because you couldn't pull it out?

No, it's not!

What? Yamato-san, is that alcohol?

Haru-san is also drinking.

Oh, it's true!

It's alright, occasionally.

I agree, nothing wrong in it.

Sure, just drink, I'll treat you.

Of course, after paying for a taxi, 40 yen left.

- 40 yen? - Okay

Take me home too. - OK, OK, OK

What's OK?

Something's tangled up between you.

Why? I only have 40 yen.

Yes!

However, you talk too much.

- Talk too much? - What did you say?

You said too much to her.

Did she dump you?

- Don't ask. - What? Haru-san?

Why are you making such a happy face?

- Oh, I'm sorry. - Are you happy?

- I'm not happy. - Are you really happy?

It doesn't matter!

No matter what happens to a woman who walks away after knowing the real Haru.

Real me? Aren't you stupid? My childhood story doesn't bother me at all.

It's not. Listen Haru-san...

Love is not a game.

Are you preaching to me now?

No one preached you before, so I'm talking. You should be thankful.

Yamato-san, don't...

Sit here!

Do not be ridiculous.

It's enough to listen to your sermons while standing and peeing.

Let's drink and have fun!

Why don't you take our your pee-wee right here?

If you take it out, I'll do it too. Can you take it out?

- Stop this really, will you? - I'll take it out.

- Let's enjoy drinking. - You're so noisy, baby!

Let's go.

I'll bet you on that 40 yen.

I'm a pirate...

What are you guys doing?

Tomo-san, you're on date again?

Good evening.

This girl is quite upbeat and fun.

Oh, yes.

They have been drinking.

You're twisting it!

I am not!

You are! Keep it straight.

Ready

Go!

Look what you've done!

I didn't do it.

It fell on your side, so you did it.

It doesn't matter.

There's the right person for compensation.

Tomo-san, please pay for this!

I'm sorry but we only have 40 yen.

It's on me?

It hurts.

So, from now on, happy hour starts sponsored by Tomo-kun!

Order, order, order...

It's thrilling.

What about Aki?

Aki? Oh, it's Sunday. There's only one place.

Oh, "Goodbye bridge".

Yes, she's probably there.

It started.

Go Yamato, stop it!

As you said, they're not blocking Haru,

However, when they do, he's passing the puck back.

Boring.

Yes?

"He'll be back 'cause there aren't many women who can charge the battery."

"Finally, after hard battling he'll go back to a woman like that 'till his battery is out."

"Definitely."

Go, go, go, go!

Captain, Tomo-san is free, keep that in mind.

That bastard deliberately fouled me.

Crap! Over there!

You can return to support the team.

Yeah!

Please wait, I will call the doctor right now.

Ouch!

Aki-san!

I remembered!

Yes?

When I got into a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend,

At first I believed that I should wait all the time,

Of course, there were times when I was lonely, still happy.

Even if we couldn't meet,

I felt strong and pretty waiting for him.

That's when I really liked myself.

But at some point, I lost my confidence and gave up.

I started to lose to loneliness,

Getting gradually weaker,

The moment I thought I would no longer wait for him

I've started to hate myself.

- I don't quite get you... - But after watching the videos,

I remembered how strong I was.

Videos?

I want to like myself for always,

I want to be a strong, great, pretty woman.

I don't want to lose to loneliness. I don't want to look away!

That's my pride.

Hey, wait a second!

Hey, what about a ticket?

Is this alright?

I guess so.

What's wrong with that woman?

Who knows...

Oh, we're gonna win today for sure.

Yes?

"I'd like you to watch me, don't look away!"

"If you do so, I'll become stronger."

OK?

Thank you

Maybe

Thank you
