Original subtitles

When I'm tired of dealing with reality, nothing beats a movie...

...for rejuvenating my spirit.

It's better to watch them alone.

This is because I can watch what I want, any day or time I feel like it.

Such a tearjerker...

And, being able to sit and bask in the afterglow of the movie...

...with no one but myself...

...makes me feel happier than anything else.

But...

Hey, don't you think it was kind of like "Armageddon?"

I don't know, it seemed more like "Independence Day" than "Armageddon," don't you think?

No, I think it was "Deep Impact." That has to be it.

The cuts seemed the same, and the CG...

Sometimes, these sorts of situations come up.

Ones that make me want to say, without realizing it...

Give me back my tears!

Seriously? She's the one you're living with?

That's right. She's my mentor.

That nagging, loud woman?

It's fine once you get used to it.

Unbelievable.

I never knew you were into that.

She's just letting me freeload at her place.

Actually, that's pretty weird too.

You're living together, and there's seriously nothing between you?

Absolutely nothing.

Even if that's how you feel, what about her?

I don't think it's even crossed her mind.

I knew you were weird...

...but she's really weird too.

Good morning.

Only 3 days until we're off. This is the time of week the stress really starts to build up.

Kamisaka-sensei, what do you usually do on your time off?

I cook at home, watch DVDs...

I also take my camera and go out to take pictures, I guess.

Wow, so you're a camera boy then?

We'd always be happy to model for you for free.

Kamisaka-sensei, weren't you on the discipline committee this week?

Yes.

I am too, Kamisaka-sensei. Would you like to go together?

Yes.

"Would you like to go together?" Get moving!

I'm sorry.

With you like that, the students...

I wonder if Kimika-san has targeted him...

They do get along well, but it doesn't seem that serious, does it?

Well, she's actually a "Clione Girl."

What's a "Clione Girl?"

Let me borrow this for a sec.

This.

A clione...

It's so cute, it's called "The Angel of the Drift Ice."

But, when it finds its prey...

...6 tentacles come out of its head...

...and CHOMP! It grabs its prey.

And the prey is Kamisaka-sensei?

Good morning.

Akiyama-sensei.

Could we speak to you for a moment?

Omiai?

Now, now, we're calling it an "omiai," but it's nothing so formal.

Actually, this request came from the school booster club.

You were specifically asked for.

Me? No way...

You know Nikaido-san, don't you?

Well, yes...

She's vice president of the committee, right?

It seems that she's taken quite a liking to you.

So, she'd like you to meet her son once.

Right now he's working abroad...

His father's company is also doing quite well.

In these uncertain times, he's quite the catch you know.

But I...

This may be rude, but are you currently dating anyone?

No.

Are you planning on dating a specific person in the near future?

I am not.

Then, you shouldn't mind at all.

Vice principal.

We were only asked if we would introduce you.

No one's ordering you to get married, or anything like it.

Principal, that may have an affect on donations next year...

- That's fine. - No, it's not.

- Please don't treat them as one issue! - But, the effect on the school...

Fine, I'll do it!

If I just have to meet him once, then...

Is that so? Is that so?

Wow, so you're going to go on an omiai?

Please don't share that with anyone.

Everyone loves to gossip, don't they?

If they heard you were "marriage-hunting," then...

"Marriage-hunting" huh?

Somehow, it has become an age when searching for a husband...

...is something that you can do openly.

Besides that, it seems like all women in their 30s are marriage hunting.

I think it's a good thing, being positive about everything.

But, I just became a year-head teacher, and my job is important to me...

It seems like an omiai is a really big deal.

Well, for now, why don't you relax, and try meeting the person?

It's an opportunity, after all. Right?

Yeah...

And, at 35 he has a globe-trotting career, and his hobby is futsal!

That means his income is at least 10 million yen a year!

But, for a man with that many good qualities to be single nowadays...

Doesn't it seem like some sort of marriage scam?

Is something wrong?

This Saturday, Akiyama-sensei is going on an omiai.

Omiai?

Akiyama-sensei, you're so lucky. You have an omiai with such an elite person!

In the future, you could be a diplomat's wife, and rub elbows with celebrities all over the world!

Do all women want to go on omiai?

I wonder? I wouldn't really want to go on one.

My parents try to arrange them for me all the time, which can be irritating.

Is that so?

Now that I think of it, your hobby is photography, right, Kamisaka-sensei?

Well...

Recently, I've gotten interested in photography...

...so I wanted to buy a new camera...

...would you mind helping me choose one?

Me?

Is that a problem?

Like, this Saturday.

Saturday...

You already have plans?

No, not really.

Then, it's decided.

An omiai, huh?

An omiai...

Delicious.

Thank you for waiting.

Here is your Yakuzen Skin-beautifying Turtle Jelly.

They say this is really good for your skin.

- Really? - Let's eat!

Excuse me!

I'd like a Yakuzen Skin-beautifying Turtle Jelly please.

Right away.

Sensei, you're going on an omiai soon, right?

We're all rooting for you!

I'm looking forward to your wedding!

Do your best!

Go, go, Akiyama! Do your best, do your best, Akiyama!

It looks the news about tomorrow spread around the school.

Yes...

The omiai isn't causing you any extra stress?

To be honest, I'm a little bewildered.

I haven't done anything like this recently in my private life either, so...

If it were possible, I'd gladly switch with you, but...

There's no way I could go.

The world of us teachers is surprisingly small, isn't it?

Sometimes meeting people in other professions can be refreshing.

Yes.

Good work today.

Please do your best at tomorrow's omiai.

What a pest!

I can feel my skin rejuvenating...

This is one is good, isn't it?

It's like my pores feel happy.

I'd recommend this one too.

That's right.

What should I wear tomorrow?

Oh yeah. What should I wear tomorrow?

Too flashy?

Is it okay to wear what I do normally?

I'm going on my personal time, so having a clear difference in style might be best.

Well, anything's fine, right?

You're so loud. Are you going out tomorrow too?

Yeah.

Hm? With your friend that came to the school?

No, with Sawai-sensei.

What? With Sawai-sensei?

She wanted me to pick a camera with her.

Could that possibly be a date?

You think so?

It has to be a date.

You're not doing too bad for yourself.

But is this really okay? To meet each other outside of school on a weekend?

I think it's fine.

As long as you don't end up somewhere where you shouldn't be seen.

"Somewhere where you shouldn't be seen," meaning?

Let's see...

You should know that already.

Geez, I can't decide because we're talking about random stuff.

You're taking a lot of care, going on this omiai, huh?

I don't want him to think I'm trying too hard...

...but I also don't want to be seen as sloppy.

Getting married is really tough...

Listen up, it's not as if I absolutely want to get married.

I'm only doing this because I was asked to.

But, more than caring about the omiai, I don't want to do less than my best.

What kind of person are you meeting?

I don't know. It was arranged so quickly, I never saw a picture.

I need to go sleep soon, or my skin will...

My pores...

I arrived too early.

Maybe I should go to the restroom one more time...

Excuse me...

Yes?

Oh.

You dropped this.

Thanks.

Excuse me...

Yes?

Are you Akiyama Satomi-san?

Yes.

Nice to meet you. I'm Nikaido Hitoshi.

Nice to meet you. I'm Akiyama Satomi.

Kamisaka-sensei!

H-Hello...

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's okay, I haven't waited long at all.

Then...

Right. The camera store is this way.

Wait.

Before we go there...

Would you like to go to a hotel?

Really? So you were in Europe until last month...

Yes. As soon as I returned, my parents...

...kept asking me if I was seeing anyone.

When I said I didn't have time for that because of work...

...they said I should meet you.

Okay...

I'm single, so my parents are getting worried.

You're a good son, aren't you?

Oh, please don't misunderstand me.

I genuinely wanted to meet you today.

Why me? I'm sure you could meet someone much younger...

I heard you're incredibly serious about your job as a teacher...

...and are also quite popular in your workplace.

But... I'd feel badly about today if you were already seeing someone.

I'm not.

I don't have time for a relationship...

And it's been a long time since I met a good man, so...

Wow. This place has a nice view, doesn't it?

The food is good too.

Kamisaka-sensei.

Thanks.

It's a little strange to call you Kamisaka-sensei outside of school, isn't it?

Kamisaka-kun...

It really has to be...

...Shinichi-kun?

What?

It's fine when we're alone, right?

I... I guess...

Then, I'll call you... Sawai-san.

You can call me Kimika.

Kimika... -san.

Um... Could this be... maybe...

A date?

What do you think?

Well, I was just wondering, so...

Oh, is there something on my face?

N-no.

I'm really looking forward to your picking a camera for me, Shinichi-kun.

Yeah.

After you.

Next...

Oh.

Akiyama-sensei?

I'm sorry.

Are these friends of yours?

Um... this is a coworker, and a teacher that just started.

Your omiai was being held here?

Huh? Are you two on a date?

I had no idea!

Since we're all here, why don't we go have tea together?

Right, Shinichi-kun?

Yeah.

Shinichi-kun?

Oh, I'm sorry. I was only supposed to do that when we're alone.

But, we just had tea, and Nikaido-san...

I don't mind going at all.

Then...

But weren't you two going to go choose a camera today?

How did you know that?

I wonder? Intuition... Yeah, it has to be intuition!

That's really accurate!

There's a cafe I like really close to here.

I'll take you there.

Hey! What are you two doing here of all places?

She just dragged me here...

You didn't come to spy on my omiai did you?

I wouldn't do anything that creepy.

Akiyama-sensei, Kamisaka-sensei?

Coming.

Somehow, you look more beautiful than usual today, Akiyama-sensei.

Now that you've met, what do you think of each other?

Asking that now... It's a little embarrassing, isn't it?

She's a very charming person.

It's good to listen to your parents sometimes, don't you think?

For a person like Akiyama-sensei to not be married yet...

Even though she seems like she's probably very home oriented...

...and very organized, even at home.

That may not be true...

At school, she has the trust of the students, and she's also a senpai that we can respect.

I guess you'd expect that from a veteran.

No, I wouldn't consider myself a veteran...

I knew that Akiyama-san must have a very good reputation.

Repu--

Re...pu..?

It's very good.

That's right. She has a good reputation, and is a great role model for us younger teachers.

No, I...

Hey, Shinichi.

What're you doing here?

- Oh. Hello. - You're his friend...

Harada Hiroyuki.

Why are you here?

My friend asked me to. I'm only here for today.

Huh? You guys look like you're on a double date or something.

No, we're not on a double date or anything...

- We might be... - Huh?

You have that kind of relationship with her?

Well, I don't...

Oh!

That means you're dating her, and living with the other one?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Living with her?

There's no way we're living together!

No, um... The ones living together are me and him.

It's old news...

What's going on?

- Things are complicated right now. - Like how?

Anyway, I'll explain properly later.

I'm sorry about that...

Don't talk to your friends about unnecessary stuff.

Besides, who told you to try and assist me like that?

I wasn't trying to assist you...

But, did I do something wrong?

It'd be hard to turn him down if he decided he liked me.

You're thinking about turning him down?

- I haven't decided yet... - Then, you'll date him?

It doesn't matter to you either way, does it?

If you're going to date him, I'll need to leave.

If that happens, why don't you go to Sawai-sensei's place, Shinichi-kun?

Please stop that.

You were led around by her all day long, weren't you?

Nikaido-san mixed in English when he was talking.

Does he think he's Dave Spector or something?

That's entirely different from a Japanese teacher who can't even speak his own language.

For a person like that to still be single...

He was where he needed to be. He's like an Iriomote Mountain Cat.

Oh. You just realized you'd never measure up, so you're jealous, aren't you?

It's not a contest.

You're the type who flees in battle.

What era are you living in, talking about "battles?"

Hello.

Yes, I'm Kamisaka Shinichi.

What? Police?

[Koe wo kikasete] Let me hear your voice.

[Sunao ni nareba kitto...] If you can become honest with yourself, I'm sure...

[wakari aeru hazu sa] ...we'll start to understand each other.

Ohitorisama [kokoro wo hiraite...] Open your heart...

[Listen up, baby girl. Kimi wo kikasete] Listen up, baby girl. Let me hear you.

[Aruite kita michi wo] The road we walked together...

[Bokutachi ni totte kioku] ...will become our memories.

[Taisetsu na step sa] It's an important step...

[Sono no mirai he no] ...towards the future

Excuse me? Where is the student named Saegusa Minami?

Why is Akiyama-sensei here too?

Sorry to make you come out here at this time of night.

We got a noise complaint from someone in the neighborhood...

When we came over, your student was partying with these guys.

I sincerely apologize.

Seika Girls Academy is a famous school for young ladies, isn't it?

For a student to get mixed up with punks like them...

"Punks" is going too far.

I'm sorry for all of the trouble we've caused you.

Saegusa-san.

Why were you partying with those boys?

It's Kamisaka-sensei's fault.

Huh?

Well, you went on a date with Sawai-sensei today, didn't you?

That's why I wanted to go out and have some fun too.

Even if that is the reason...how long have you known them?

Today was our first meeting. We met at a goukon.

Goukon?

It's not like we were out drinking or anything.

I don't think it's a big deal.

- But... - I don't think you have a right to judge.

What?

You went on an omiai, right?

How are my goukon and your omiai different?

What's so bad about it?

- That's... - I'm leaving.

You'll take me home, won't you?

Thank you for going with me on Saturday.

Ever since I got home, Shinichi-kun, I've been...

I mean, I've been playing with the camera you chose for me, Kamisaka-sensei.

Is that so?

You seem a little down.

No, I'm fine.

I know.

Would you like do a photo shoot with me?

Photo shoot?

I'd like you to teach me how to use the camera...

How about this Sunday?

Sunday?

Sure...

Then, it's decided.

It seems like Akiyama-sensei's omiai ended well, didn't it?

Now, it all depends on her partner's feelings...

Wait a sec. If she ends up pursuing a marriage with the Nikaido's son then...

Then you might call me, who arranged for their omiai, their matchmaker...

In that case, the committee would back me, and I could get them to support me as principal...

It depends on if the committee backs you.

But, in that case, I could also get them to support me as Vice Principal...

- Akiyama-sensei! - Akiyama-sensei, are you thirsty?

Would you like tea? Or coffee?

No, thank you.

My, aren't you beautiful today? Are your shoulders stiff? If you'd like, I could...

I'll pass, thank you.

You have beautiful curls today.

They're the same as always.

- You're wearing navy today, right? - That's right.

Hey, where's Saegusa-san?

She said she was taking the day off.

Was she not feeling well?

Who knows?

Maybe Minami...

- ...is on a date! - It's possible.

You've had a rough time since then, haven't you?

Was it a problem for me to call you so suddenly?

Oh, no. I also didn't want to go home with things like this, so...

I mean, I didn't mean that in a weird way...

It's important to have times to be "on" and "off."

A long time ago, I had someone who proposed to me.

But, when I said I couldn't work and take care of the home at the same time...

...I got dumped.

Do you still feel that way now?

To be frank, I'm still not confident I can do it.

But, since that time...

...I feel like I might be able to learn.

The job of a teacher is to nurture people, right?

Yes.

If you dated, and eventually got married...

...what do you think of looking at it as if the partners nurtured each other?

Partners nurturing each other?

Akiyama-san.

Would you consider dating me?

What?

We wouldn't rush into marriage. First we would get to know each other.

If you would consider marriage as something that might come after that...

Saegusa-san.

I have something to inform you of, Kamisaka-sensei.

I'm going to date that guy I was with before.

What?

It's not as if I'm totally in love with him or anything.

He was just really persistent asking me to date him.

So I just went along with it and said "Okay."

I can break up with him anytime.

I wonder if that's a good idea.

Besides...

You're going to tell me to value myself more, aren't you?

If you know that already, then...

Even you say annoying things like that.

Then, Sensei...

...will you be my boyfriend?

That's...sort of...way off topic...

I don't want to listen to any lectures.

I was just letting you know.

Is something wrong?

Excuse me.

She's Saegusa-san, right?

Yes.

Did she say something to you?

No, nothing important.

I see.

Hey, Kamisaka-sensei.

Yes?

Are you eating right?

Yes, I am.

I'm glad.

Principal...

Sometimes you suddenly say things like a mom would, don't you?

Sorry for saying something strange.

Excuse me.

So this is hotpot cooking?

Put in as much as you want.

Okay.

Delicious.

You come to places like this alone too?

Yes. This soup is good for getting rid of my fatigue.

It has lots of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs and collagen in it.

It seems like all of the toxins in my body will come out at once after eating this.

Umm... Was the reason you invited me out today because you wanted to talk to me?

You've had a lot going on recently, right?

Like this thing with Saegusa-san...

Has anything changed since then?

She's attending class as she should, so I can't say anything has really changed with her...

Hm... If that's true, that's good...

Hey. How have things gone with Nikaido-san since then?

I'm not sure if I want to date him or not.

He's an incredible person, but...

...I wonder if he'd be happy with someone like me.

Plus, if you decide on something, it seems like lots of things will be set in motion.

It's sort of like that... Like getting on a train where you don't know the destination...

There are times it can be fun precisely because you don't know where you're going.

It's not bad to be a single woman, but...

At night, having someone to listen to what you did during the day...

...having someone to talk with.... It's a wonderful thing.

Like a detox for your heart.

A detox for the heart?

Yeah.

You don't get that with your current housemate, right?

He's far below standards.

I'm home...

At the end of the day, even I...

...start to want someone to talk to.

Akiyama-san!

Oh. Hello.

- I'm sorry I'm late. - It's no problem.

I just got here myself.

Oh. I know it's a little early, but would you like to eat now?

Sure.

- Do you like traditional cuisine? - Yes.

- Kimika-san, hurry, hurry! - Wait, Shinichi-kun!

- Swans! Swans! - It really is.

Your camera, your camera...

For animals that move like that, you should use a fast shutter speed.

I've already set it, so let's practice.

Aim it properly...

- I got it, I got it. - Next, that one!

- The duck? - The duck, the duck.

- So cute! - Great job!

Now, what should we take next?

Which way should we go?

Want to go that way?

See? I took it well, didn't I?

Yes.

I wonder if we...

...look like we're dating?

Delicious.

I really like this restaurant.

I'm so glad...

There are many other restaurants I'd like to take you to.

The answer to what I spoke about the other day...

Do you think I'll get it soon?

Oh...

I'm hungry. Are you?

Oh. Yeah.

What do you want to eat, Shinichi-kun?

Huh?

In this area... Let's see, since Midtown is close...

There's Italian... French...

I'm going to date that guy I was with before.

He was just really persistent asking me to date him.

So I just went along with it and said "Okay."

How about yaki-niku?

I'm sorry. I have to go somewhere.

Huh?

Shinichi-kun?

That hurts!

Stop it.

Sorry. I'm coming through!

Sorry. Sorry!

Sorry. I'm coming through.

Kamisaka-sensei, why're you...

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Hey... Dating someone... I just think...

...it's not okay to just agree to something, you know?

You came all the way here to say that?

Minami. Who's this annoying guy?

It's fine. Let's go.

Saegusa-san!

Let's go.

If you're still unsure whether you'd like to be with me, then...

...let's try and resolve the issue together.

I know I'm saying this about myself, but...

I don't think I'm a bad person.

Excuse me. Sorry.

I'm coming through. Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Sorry.

Saegusa-san...

Saegusa-san?

Akiyama-san...

How do you feel about me?

- You shouldn't be here. Go downstairs. - Fine. Whatever.

- Excuse me! - Go on, go on.

Hurry up.

Someone, please open the door!

Someone, please!

It's no good...

Please... pick up...

Kimika-san.

Kimika-san.

Kimika-san!

Kimika-san!

Kimika-san!!

[Kamisaka Shinichi]

Why won't he pick up?

I...

Excuse me...

[Kamisaka Shinichi]

Ugh.

I'm so sorry...

You're not going to answer?

It's the new teacher I introduced you to before.

He's bad at everything, and never calls about anything important.

Please excuse me a moment. I'll be right back.

Of course.

If this is about something dumb, I'm going to kick him out!

Hello? I'm in the middle of an important...

Please save me!

Saegusa-san is with that boy from before, so I chased after them...

Saegusa-san?

I just couldn't leave it the way it was.

So, right now I'm locked in a room somewhere...

What? Where?

A club called "Warehouse" in Azabu.

Oh. My battery!

Hey!

Geez.

Make sure you at least charge your phone regularly!

I'm so sorry...

Did something come up?

Something happened involving that useless teacher and one of my students...

I will definitely give you an answer regarding that other matter soon.

If you'll excuse me for today. I'm sorry...

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Kamisaka Shinichi! Are you there?

Answer me if you are!

Akiyama-sensei! Over here!

Honestly.

Step back from the door!

What're you doing?

There's someone inside. Please open it quickly.

Yes ma'am.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

- Let's go. - Yes.

I'm sorry. I didn't think things would...

We'll talk later. First, we need to find Saegusa-san.

Yes.

Oh.

What're you so mad about?

You're so loud...

Saegusa-san.

Akiyama-sensei?

Again? What's going on, Minami?

No idea.

Would you just leave me alone?

I can't leave you alone!

Sorry, but I need to talk to her right now.

Okay...

We're leaving.

I'm glad nothing happened to you.

Going into a place like that is against school regulations.

You know that, don't you?

Besides that, you also caused Kamisaka-sensei a great deal of worry.

So make sure you apologize.

But... I'm jealous of you.

What?

In the past, I also did a lot of crazy things when I was in love.

Just like you are doing now.

But, that's impossible for me now.

Ever since I became an adult, I haven't really been able to fall in love with anyone.

That's why I'm a little jealous of you.

Then, I don't want you to scold me.

But, somehow you didn't seem like you were having fun.

You know, I...

...used to think that my feelings were the most important...

But, now...

I wonder what my partner is thinking of me...

...or think it'd be rude to the other person if I let my feelings run away with me...

That's how I think about things now.

If your partner values you, thinks you're important...

...then you must treasure your partner even more than that, I think.

And, who I am now, a person who can feel that way...

...isn't so bad, I think.

Isn't that why you're still single, Sensei?

It might be.

Let's get moving, shall we? I'll see you home.

Okay.

I bought some juice.

Oh. Thanks.

Thank you.

I was really shocked...

...when I got that phone call from you.

I'm sorry.

Even though I decided that I wouldn't depend on you...

...and do things by myself sometimes...

But, you were really worried about Saegusa-san, weren't you?

You've become a bit more like a teacher, haven't you?

No, not at all...

Which reminds me, where were you when I called?

Huh?

I was at a movie.

You know, that new sci-fi one.

Really? By yourself?

You watch movies alone normally, right?

Really?

Yeah.

But, I was really happy when you came to rescue me, Akiyama-sensei.

It's only natural, after getting a phone call like that.

I'm sort of hungry now. Maybe I'll go eat some ramen.

Shall I make something for you?

Really?

To thank you for today.

It's just going to be thrown together, but...

I have an onion and some chicken... Would oyakodon be okay?

Yeah...

I'm sorry for calling you so early in the morning.

I thought I should give you an answer as soon as possible, so...

I sort of feel like I'm getting exam results from a teacher.

Go ahead.

When I imagined what it might be like if I dated you, Nikaido-san...

I was more excited than I had been in many years.

But, I...

I'm afraid I can't date you.

Because I can't say for sure if I like you or not...

Oh. I'm sorry...

You're really an incredible person...

I know I should date you...

And, I know I'm being dumb for saying no...

But entering a relationship with half-hearted feelings...

...would be incredibly rude to you...

That's why I...

Would you be willing to give me just a little more time? Then, I...

I understand.

Please act like I never asked you.

What?

I'd really like to be cool and say, "I'll wait for you forever."

I'd really like to.

But, aren't there other reasons why you're unsure?

Reasons?

That new teacher... You can't stop thinking about him.

Even though you say he's useless, you seem happy when you talk about him.

I have no choice but to give up, right?

Huh?

What?

I'm really sorry about yesterday.

It's okay. I forgive you.

In exchange...

...maybe I'll come over next time.

To your house, Shinichi-kun.

Nikaido-san didn't understand at all.

In the end, I'm the one dumped.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Sensei, it's sticking to you.

I... like that?

That?

Someone was over there...

The person ran really fast...

Let's call the police!

She's very confused...

Akiyama-sensei, I can't stand it anymore...

You can't!
