Listen, you don't want to get fancy.

Okay. So just keep it simple, right?

Corporate communication skills and English education...

Exactly.

Let's get the organization.

Sounds like you're ready. [December 2012]

That's the end of class.

And...

What do you think I should do for the reference letter?

Sakuraba.

The class is over.

Okay.

Great work today.

- Sensei... - Yes?

Thank you for everything.

Can I send you a Christmas card when you go to New York?

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Sensei...

I like...

Kinomiya Sensei!

We're throwing you a farewell party.

Sakuraba, I want you to come to New York with me.

You guys are so loud!

Takane-kun, why don't you take a bath next? I wonder if the water's warm...

Our bathwater is always so tepid!

Don't worry. I'm used to cold water from the waterfall meditation.

Why are you here?

You can use my husband's clothes!

His legs are too long, they'll look like shorts on him!

Wait just a minute!

- Stand up, Takane-kun. Stand up. - You don't have to do that...

They are about the same... they are twice as long.

Of course. Why are you here?

- Why not? He'll be part of the family soon. - No, he won't.

- I came because of your promise. - My promise?

- To go on a date! - A date?

You did promise me one.

You promised when you slept over, right?

What?

- I want to go on a date with you. - All right, all right...

- I was just making you feel better! - But you did say yes. Twice.

That was more of an "okay, okay..." than a "yes, yes!" They're totally different!

You say that, Junko, but you've been staying over at Tanake-kun's place a lot!

- Right?! - Be quiet!

You only work in the morning on weekends, right?

- So what? - That day is auspicious and will have a new moon.

It will be the luckiest day to start new beginnings and is certainly our day...

- of destiny. - Who asked you to decide that for me?

Maybe they should go to an amusement park!

Going around Asakusa for food is fun too.

How about the planetarium?

- I will take that into consideration. - I'm not going.

And then they can go to an aquarium...

I'm not going!

You should always do something the girl likes on your first date.

Girls are always late to dates.

You should be tolerant and think of the time spent waiting as a pleasure.

This is important! Never make a girl confess her feelings to you first.

When you have something important to tell her, do it at the end of the date.

I see.

What are you doing?

This is not something that concerns a child.

- Give that back. - Stop treating me like a kid! - Sankyu-chan!

Let's play!

Takane-sama... Experience trumps knowledge.

- Shall we go? - Yeah!

- There's nothing but experience! - Right!

Where in the book does it say that?

- Junko Sensei? - Yes?

Which do you want to hear first? News that makes me happy...

or news that makes you happy?

I don't really care. We can start with you.

- I got a boyfriend yesterday! - Oh, congratulations!

- What about me? - Here you go.

Business?

You're in charge of the business class starting today. Congratulations!

Really?!

- Really. - Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

- Do your best. - Okay.

You've been grinning to yourself every three seconds...

No I haven't.

Three, two, one...

- See? - No, I'm not!

- Did something good happen? - Not really.

Kiyomiya-san told me. Congrats! That's amazing!

- What?! No way! - You're in charge of the business class too!

- Oh, that? You scared me! - Was there something else?

- Let's go out for a drink. - What is it?

Kiyomiya-san said what?!

- You're talking too loudly! - So he proposed to you.

No way, it wasn't a proposal... was it?!

Game face on!

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

You don't have the wrong room.

What does a temple need business English for?

I feel business English is essential

in this globalized world.

- Are you serious? - Of course I am.

What? Why are you here, Mishima?

Why? It's the business class.

Let's start class, shall we?

The first thing to learn in business etiquette is learning how to greet and introduce yourself.

Let's try it out!

Boys, boys! This isn't a fight!

We are just practicing how to greet and introduce ourselves. Okay?

Give it a go!

Hello. My name is Satoshi Mishima.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Takane Hoshikawa.

Well... I work at MJ & Company.

And I am in charge of all of the marketing.

You might not be familiar with temples,

but Ikkyou Temple is a temple that has a history of 400 years.

I am the Buddhist priest there.

And for your information, I met Ms. Junko a month ago.

- Now, we're engaged. - No we're not.

I've known Sakuraba since college...

and it's been about ten years now.

And, oh... that trip we took after graduation...

- What. A. Memory. - Mishima, don't feed into it.

Let me ask... Have you ever been to her parent's house?

- No, I haven't. - I've already been there...

- Four times. - What's this?

But we go out drinking a lot.

And you know how she's like when she's drunk.

She slept over at my house once.

That's it? A sleepover?

I've slept beside her. She's let me use her lap as a pillow.

And, oh... did I forget to say we're going out on a date next weekend?

- Mr. Hoshikawa! - One thing I haven't done...

- is forcefully kissing her. - All right, time out!

Let's try this over without using the words "her", "she", or my name!

Okay?

Whenever you're ready.

What? Nothing?

Can I introduce you to Andy from Ferguson Bank?

"May" I introduce you, not "can", okay?

All right! That's it for today.

Junko-san, next time let's do a one-on-one lesson.

Good work today.

Junko Sensei, do you have a moment?

Yuki-chan!

I'm... a boy.

She said she's feeling better now.

I'm so glad! I'm so happy you came!

I'm really sorry.

Don't worry about it.

- She brought some cake for making everyone so worried. - Yeah!

- They're cupcakes! Let's eat them together! - Yeah, let's do it!

- Junko-chan. - Yes?

- Thanks. - What?

You never asked him why he dressed like that.

That's because Yuki-chan is just Yuki-chan.

Really... thank you.

- Junko-chan, let's eat! - Okay!

Yes?

- How's it going? - I'm hard at work.

- Do you want to go out to eat? - Yes!

- I'll be waiting. - Okay.

Junko-san, good evening.

Is there anywhere you'd like to go for our date this weekend?

Sakuraba, I want you to come to New York with me.

Hoshikawa-san...

There's something important I need to tell you.

Something important?

Never make a girl confess her feelings to you first. When you have something important to tell her, do it at the end of the date.

- Hoshikawa-san, I... - Wait!

I'll be the one to tell you something important at the end of our first date.

So let's leave things here for tonight.

What?

[From Five to Nine]

[Episode 5]

Let me make your dreams come true.

I was happy just thinking about where we would go together.

You're very lucky, Ms. Junko.

I want to stay with you a little longer.

I have no intention of marrying Hoshikawa-san.

You look down.

No, not at all!

I'll show you something that'll cheer you up.

What is it?

Here.

Is this the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree?

Yes. From last year.

It's so pretty!

People from all over America come to see the lighting ceremony. The atmosphere gets festive.

I wish I could see it...

I hope I can spend Christmas with you in New York next year!

Sakuraba Junko

I'm sorry about the Christmas card.

I never sent you a reply.

Don't worry about it!

I meant to send you one...

I'm hoping to spend Christmas with you this year.

Right...

I'm home!

Welcome home!

- Something good happened, didn't it? - Not really.

- Something definitely happened! - We can tell just by your footsteps.

Come on... Oh, what's that? It looks delicious!

They're red-bean sweets. They taste so expensive!

They're all from Takane-san! Look over there.

- What? - Junko...

"To prepare for our upcoming date, please try all of these and tell me which you like best..."

- I'm sending them back. - Why?

- It's not like that with him. - You're not dating?

- We're friends, but... - He's such a good guy!

- He's a good guy, but... - I've already prepared myself to let you go.

I already have someone.

- Who is it? - It's none of your business.

- What about your date? - I'm not going.

What!

I see... you're rejecting Takane-kun.

- Poor thing. - Poor thing...

Big bro...

I'll tell him I can't go out with him tomorrow.

Dad! Don't eat that!

Poor thing...

[Today's schedule: Hoshikawa]

Junko Sensei! I have a favor to ask you.

It's a special event you can only go to as a couple. It's tonight!

What are we supposed to do as a couple?

We just have to dress up like them!

No, no way!

Don't worry! They'll have the costumes for us there, so we only have to memorize these lines...

- I wasn't talking about the costumes— - Please!

I want the exclusive merchandise so badly!

Oh gosh... It's tonight, right? There's someone I need to talk to tonight. Let's do it another time!

Some other time!

- Junko Sensei! - I'm sorry!

All right, let's call it a day.

- See you. - See you!

Thank you, bye! Thank you.

Hoshikawa-san, can I talk to you?

As I said, if it's something important, please wait until the end of our date.

- No. - I have an unavoidable errand to do right now.

- Unavoidable? - I'm sorry. Please excuse me.

I'm really sorry. I was so drunk then.

Please forget all about it.

Are you serious? I thought I couldn't be your friend anymore.

- I'm sorry. - Jeez...

Oh. This is a little belated,

but...

- Happy birthday. - That is late!

What is it?

Oh! A fountain pen?

Thank you!

What were you talking to the monk about earlier?

I was going to tell him I don't want to go out with him.

- Really? - Why are you so surprised?

Well, yeah... right.

Gosh, Mishima, you are great.

I'm so glad we're back to being friends again.

I'm looking for someone to sleep with tonight.

I like you.

I don't like you.

I know it's not your thing, but could you do it just this once?

No? No? Wait!

Well...

Done!

You want me to tag along?

I-It's fine!

For one night only... die from excitement...

at this lovey-dovey event.

For one night only...

Die of excitement...

at this lovey-dovey event.

You're drooling.

Sorry. Thanks.

Thank you for coming with me to such a weird event.

No problem.

Sorry, but...

could you do that thing you did earlier again?

'Kay!

Before you make a deal with the devil...

make this eternal vow with me!

Oh my god! Lucifer-sama!

Ms. Momoe...

There's a limit to how much you can change your character.

I was being creepy, huh? I got carried away. I'm sorry.

Please don't apologize. It was a very fun date.

Th-This is a...?

I want to stay with you

a little longer.

- Give me one of every type you have. - All the popcorn!

Would you like some?

Well... Hoshikawa-san?

What are you doing here?

- Preliminary research? - He lined up just for you.

They sell out really fast.

Is that the errand he was talking about?

He's also been doing research downtown...

I want to know what Junko-san likes.

- Crab! - That's true.

Also our bread!

She likes amusement parks.

What does she not like?

- His bread. - I'll make some fresh ones!

She hates mosquitos. You should bring some bug repellant.

- Good luck! - Hip-hip-horrah!

He has visited all sorts of date spots...

Excuse me...

What can I get for you?

I would like everything from here to here.

He selected dishes that you might like.

Thank you.

- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you.

Good luck!

He has been looking for a great spot to view the city lights...

He has been working hard to find ways to make you happy.

You're very lucky, Ms. Junko.

We'll meet at the amusement park at 1:00 P.M.

At 1:30 P.M... we'll have lunch at the amusement park.

We'll ride the merry-go-round at 3:00 P.M.

At 4:30 P.M., we'll purchase popcorn.

At 7:00 P.M., dinner at a crab restaurant.

We'll go to Promising Eternal Love Park to see the city lights at 8:30 P.M...

and at 11:00 P.M., I will take you home.

Make sure to stay by my side...

and bring your smile.

I need to tell him soon.

May I join you?

Sure!

Can we trade again today?

Yeah.

Which would you like?

I think this one is better.

We will have this for lunch the day.

Wait, how many are you planning to take with you?

She eats a lot, so I think I'll need to take at least fifteen.

So are we going to eat all of these?

- Hello... - Shin told me to get bangs, but...

Wow, she's beautiful!

Wow, she's amazing!

I'm sorry, we only have coffee.

- Thank you. - Excuse me.

Who is that? What are they talking about?

It's about a guy... I can tell that kind of stuff.

Are you still interested in marrying Takane-sama?

If you aren't, could you please stop leading him on?

I feel awful for him.

I have no intention of marrying Hoshikawa-san.

Then why do this?

Please don't hurt him anymore.

I'm home.

Welcome home!

We're having okonomiyaki today!

Good evening. I brought our itinerary for tomorrow.

I'll be waiting for you here at 1:00 P.M.

There's something I need to tell you—

- I told you, I'll be the one to say that at the end of the date. - Takane-kun, it's almost ready!

- Listen to me, Hoshikawa-san. - Will 1:00 P.M. work for you?

That's not what I... Will you guys be quiet?

- Hoshikawa... - One moment.

- Come sit down! - I'll do that.

You really like our family, don't you?

It's only natural to like the people the person I like likes.

Beautifully said!

- Takane-kun! - Dad, you're dirty! Don't touch him!

What do you mean dirty?

- He has a date tomorrow. - Right, his date...

- Of course! - Then, I shouldn't touch him, huh?

Takane-kun is really looking forward to tomorrow.

It may not be my place to say, but why not just go?

It's the least you could do to uphold his dignity.

[Itinerary]

You look great!

Good luck.

Takane...

This may be too much.

The headpiece.

I'll be going now.

Wait! Aren't you meeting her at 1:00 P.M?

- It's only 6:00 A.M. - There's a rule that the man must arrive early.

What's going on?

Madam!

Those robes...

have been passed down for generations!

The fact that you're wearing that means...

you're about to do something important, right?

Excuse me.

Tak... Tak...

Oh, Shin-chan! [School Holiday]

It's me, Ran-ran.

I took a half day off, so I can leave now.

What? You're canceling? You're kidding.

Isn't it today

your date with Mr. Hoshikawa?

- Yes. - I hope you have a good time.

- Yes. - See you later.

See you later.

- Sakuraba! - Yes?

This is Steve, from the New York office. He took me under his wing there.

- Nice to meet you! I'm Junko. - Hi, I'm Steve.

He's on vacation here with his family.

Hey there! Welcome to Japan!

I'm sorry, but we have a meeting now with people from the main office...

Could we ask you to watch his kids?

Now?

I guess you have plans...

Well...

My wife is sleeping in because of the jet lag... Please?

- Okay, okay. - Oh, thank you, Ms. Junko!

Thanks. You're the best. Steve?

- Now you kids behave! - Hey!

My name is Junko...

I need to pee pee!

Pee pee? O-Okay! Okay...

What should I do...? Okay, okay!

This way, come on...

Sorry, could you take our picture?

Madam! Where are you going?

I heard he's meeting that woman again.

I'm bringing him home.

Why?

Why can't it be Junko-san?

I promised his father that I would

make Takane into a fine chief priest.

After you set this whole thing up,

Takane lost control of himself.

I...

I...

think of Takane like my own son.

We haven't seen him excited like that

for a long time.

I'm sure you know that very well.

He's devoted himself to the temple,

and this is the first time he's being selfish.

Please leave him be

for today.

Oh, Theron! Just stop that! You're gonna hurt yourself!

Hey! I'm hungry! Give me some food!

Oh, right. He doesn't have a cell phone...

Wait, wait, wait!

I'm sorry...

My sister has to work overtime, so she won't be able to come.

Overtime?

She said she's really sorry.

I'm glad.

I was worried

that she might be in an accident.

Now that I know she's all right, I can wait at ease.

Um... she really can't make it today.

I'll wait a little longer.

Yummy! Yummy!

I love it, it's so delicious!

I was able to meet up with him.

I explained the situation, so don't worry!

- Junko! I want some more! - I want some more.

Okay! How about tuna?

Tuna! Tuna! Tuna!

Okay, more tuna coming up!

I need to go pee pee.

Pee pee? Pee pee... Okay...

Please don't worry. I'm just going to wait here.

I'm not going home if you're not.

Takane-san!

Grandmother!

Hello.

How long are you planning to carry on with this foolishness?

I apologize for taking out these robes

without fully explaining the situation.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about her making you wait hours

at a place like this...

How pitiful.

She's not making me wait.

I'm waiting here because I want to.

Don't you understand anything I'm saying?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself for being manipulated by a woman like that?

Grandmother, please don't talk about Junko-san like that.

Takane-sama, let's go.

Let's go home.

I'm sorry.

Nene-san, let's go home.

Okay.

I can't have you get sick.

Let's go.

Sorry.

Ms. Junko, you've been a real big help! Thank you!

It was my pleasure!

Come on kids, time to go!

No! I want to play with Junko.

How about we say bye for now

so we'll meet in New York next time?

I said let's go!

- Bye! - Bye.

Bye!

Great work, Sakuraba.

Please let me buy you dinner.

Thank you! Sure.

Kiyomiya-san, where are we going?

To my place.

What? No, no, I can't...

Well hey! If it isn't Makoto!

Hey boys!

Hold up! Is this your girlfriend?

Coming?

- Let's go to our place. - Come on!

Let's go.

Your roommates?

Darling, this whole floor is rented out by ELA.

FYI, we work at the Ginza school.

And he's the most handsome...

Forget all of that, come on sweetie! Let's dance!

Oh, yeah!

- Let's dance! - Dance? Now?

There they go again...

Sakuraba, let's go over there.

They don't care if it's night or day...

Are those two... you know...

I'll let you imagine whatever you want.

It feels like I'm really in New York!

It will be a reality soon.

Or are you still contemplating if you'll go?

I'm serious.

I've already decided to take you to New York.

Let me make your dreams come true.

Kiyomiya-san...

Will you come with me?

Yes.

I'll go with you.

Come on, girl! Dance with us!

What?

Okay. I'll get some wine.

- Make yourself comfortable. - Thanks.

All right, that's enough. Bed time, boys.

Sorry. That took so long.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry, I have to go home.

You're going home?

I think I'm a little drunk. I'm sorry.

Shall I take you home?

No, I'm fine. I'll take the train.

I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for tonight.

[Itinerary]

Of course he's not here.

Why?

Why are you here?

I'm sorry.

You came all the way here... but...

there's no place I can take you.

I'm sorry.

Why?

I wanted to wait for you.

Why aren't you upset?

I knew that women always come late to dates.

You've been standing here for more than ten hours!

But...

you came.

I was happy just thinking about where we would go together.

I enjoyed waiting and wondering when you would come.

That was enough

to make me feel happy.

Please stop that.

Didn't I tell you I couldn't come?

So why are you here?

Why are you waiting for someone who isn't coming?

I'm not the kind of person you think I am.

I'm dishonest.

I kept you

hanging on today...

and met with another man. I'm a horrible person.

Please choose someone else.

How...

How can you be so honest?

Aren't you afraid of getting rejected and hurt?

I can't do it.

I don't want to know the truth...

I don't want to get hurt...

I don't want to look like a fool.

That's why I ran away.

I got scared and ran away.

I'm terrible.

I hate myself...

I really hate myself.

Really...

I love you.

I love everything about you.

[Next time] [No more chickening out!] Since when were you guys dating?

You're like family to me already.

I don't want to hate him.

[New trials...] Takane is not fit to be the next chief priest.

It's difficult to lose someone you love.

She's not laughing.

Stop that! You don't have my consent to film.

Kiyomiya-san's wife...

Don't say it!

It's so good!

How are things going with the monk?

It's none of your business, Mishima.

Of course you would come back here...
