Uh... I think...
Isn't this wrong?
Having a meeting like this...
I was expecting all of you to come up with a plan to save ourselves,
and you end up relying on a girl who comes from another town.
What's going on, Haruo...
have you fallen in love with her?!
Then...
just marry a girl with a criminal record!
Yeah!
Shut up!
I'm saying we have to think of a solution by ourselves!
Like making a premium line of peaches,
or use computers to sell them over the internet...
None of us are really thinking!
That's why the girl who came from another town didn't want to do it,
because we were trying to force her to be the Peach Girl.
Why... why does a girl who came from elsewhere...
have to take on such responsibility?
You've worked hard for us.
Sorry there's not much in here, but...
Oh, no! I can't take your money...
What are you talking about?
You really did the work.
And you know... I should be paying you more anyway!
I hope you don't get your hopes up too high!
Here.
I'm so sorry for the trouble I caused.
In middle of the harvest season...
Don't worry about it.
Haruo can handle the rest.
Um... didn't I cause you trouble?
Absolutely not.
You really helped us out.
Won't you get harrassed by your neighbors for taking in someone with a criminal record?
I won't let them.
Don't worry.
Thank you so much for everything.
I'll take you to the station.
No need...
It's on the way to my union meeting.
This is all we can give you...
A farewell gift.
I appreciate it, thank you.
Dear Takuya.
My next town is only an hour away from Tokyo by express train.
It's relatively urban.
It's sort of an unremarkable place,
but I think I'll live here until I save up a million yen again.
Are you doing well, Takuya?
How's school?
Try to get along with our parents.
From Suzuko.
Satou, are you getting bullied, by any chance?
What's in the vicinity?
Let's see...
well, the convenience store is far away,
Oh, a home improvement store is close by.
It's not very useful though.
It'll do.
Please fill in the guarantor's name.
Okay.
[ Satou Takuya ]
I have the ink.
Hey, Uchiyama.
Yes?
Take her to the apartment.
Yes.
Please follow me.
Hello, this is Satou.
This is Kawaguchi from the Arashiro Real Estate Agency.
Is Mr. Satou Takuya home?
Yes... it's me.
Nakajima.
Yes?
This is Satou Suzuko, she'll work in the gardening section starting today.
He's Nakajima Ryouhei.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Nakajima.
Hey, you're... 21, right?
Yes, I am.
You two are the same age, then.
I'm glad the workplace is getting younger.
I'm on a break now, so you teach her everything.
Okay.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir?
Yes.
Excuse me,
do you have seeds for Morocco Beans?
Please wait a moment.
Excuse me.
We have other kinds here, please take a look.
What is it?
The customer...
is looking for Morocco Bean seeds.
I apologize.
It's over here.
Miss,
Yes?
I'll have this, and that one.
What's this flower called?
Pe... Petunia.
A perennial plant?
Sorry,
is this perennial...?
It's perennial.
But Petunias don't grow in a cold temperature.
You should keep it indoors during winter.
But it's a relatively easy plant to grow.
It's called 'Tsukubane Asagao' in Japanese.
Okay, give me two.
Thank you.
Which ones?
This white one, and this pink one here.
Got it.
Thank you.
This one is an insecticide.
This one is a fertilizer.
It's a big deal if you get them wrong.
I'm sorry.
I know they look alike, but...
can you take responsibility for their plants if a customer bought one by mistake?
Manager,
I haven't taught her yet.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Yes.
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault for not double-checking.
Right.
It's written on the label.
You can read kanji, right?
Hello.
Hey, don't mind what the manager says to you.
He's the type who has to repeat himself over and over.
He's just scared of people above him getting upset.
But...
it really was my fault.
Just don't worry about it.
You can't possibly remember everything on the first day.
Do you live around here?
Yes, in Midorigaoka.
I live in Fujimi-cho.
Oh.
Close.
I see.
I'm going this way.
- See you. - See you.
Good morning.
Working hard?
Oh, um...
I just don't want to be scolded again.
I want to get along as much as possible.
I see.
You're an interesting person, Satou.
Selling well in here?
So-so.
By the way, we're having a drinking party.
Why don't you come?
You're new here, right?
I'm Satou.
You come too, Satou.
Okay?
Yeah, come. Both of you are coming.
I'll also ask Mari in the pet section.
You have a troubled smile.
You don't want to go, do you?
No, I want to...
You're lying.
Yes.
I don't really want to go.
Then, Manabe just slipped!
Manabe is an employee, he's notorious for being strict.
Not just slipped, but he stood up as if nothing happened!
I didn't know how I should react!
That's just like him!
Excuse me, it's time for the last order.
It's that time already?
Hit another bar, duh!
No more orders.
I'm going home soon.
What?
You're going home already?
I have a lecture tomorrow morning.
Didn't you say you need to wake up early tomorrow too, Satou?
Yes.
That's right.
Wait a minute!
Let's go for karaoke!
I'm a student,
I have to study!
Fine, you can go.
Satou, you can come with us, right?
Girls don't like persistent guys.
See ya.
Excuse me.
Don't you like me?
Good bye.
Bye?
Hey,
Yes?
Thank you.
For what?
For saving me.
You're the one who saved me.
I really wanted to leave.
That early lecture tomorrow... it's a lie.
Really?
But I do have an afternoon class.
I will attend that one.
I see.
Even when you're drinking with a lot of people, only 2 or 3 people are actually talking.
Any more, and it's just plain noise.
It's always hard for me to escape alone,
but it was easy today because you were there.
I should be thanking you.
I see.
It's here.
Thank you for walking me home.
No problem.
Then... good night.
Good night.
Crap.
Am I falling for him?
Put in a lot.
What's wrong, Satou?
Are you feeling ill?
You're not, right?
You'll eat, right?
Teacher,
we'll look after him.
Oh?
Try your best to finish it during lunch break.
Close call!
Hurry and eat!
Eat up!
Hurry and eat!
He's eating it!
Eww!
What's wrong, Satou?
You have to tell me if you're not feeling well!
Someone get a towel.
Hello.
Why are you here?
I just finished class.
Do you cook?
Yes.
That's great.
This way is just cheaper.
Right.
I always think of cooking, but...
But the ingredients here are pretty good.
Right.
Um...
if you're free...
would you like to go for a cup of tea?
I've been meaning to ask you for a while, but...
you're not from around here, right?
Yes, I'm from Tokyo.
I see.
Why are you here now?
One thing led to another...
Maybe this is not your first time here?
Have you been here before?
No.
Sorry for being nosy.
I save up a million yen and then move to another town.
Huh?
I was supposed to share an apartment with two others.
Suddenly one of them pulled out,
so there were only two left.
Then I found a kitten...
but my roommate threw it out without telling me.
I lost it, and...
threw away all his belongings.
Then...
They...
They?
They put me on a criminal trial.
Are you serious?
Then...
it became awkward staying home...
At first, I worked at a beachside shop,
then went to a mountain...
I saved up a million yen,
so I moved here.
So, you're searching for yourself?
No.
Rather, I don't want to search for myself.
No matter what...
you have to live by your own actions.
Even if I don't search for myself... I have no choice but to be here.
I'm running away.
Are you... being chased by someone?
Not like that...
Have you ever felt as if you don't belong anywhere,
and just want to live in a place where no one knows you?
I guess I have.
Then... you'll go to a new place.
Of course, no one knows me at first,
but they gradually do...
when that happens...
I get involved in complicated matters...
But if I have a million yen, I can rent a new place,
and I can survive until I find the next job.
That's why I'm moving every time I save up a million yen.
So when you save up a million yen again...
you'll move out of here?
Excuse me.
No, I got it.
I'm the one who invited you.
Good bye.
Thank you, come again.
Hey,
I'm sorry.
For what?
For asking you so many things.
I'm sorry for talking too much.
I'm embarrassed for saying so much.
Please don't tell anyone.
I won't.
Please don't follow me.
This is my way home.
Um... are you upset over something?
I'm not.
Then why're you walking so fast?
Because I think you'll think bad of me.
Why?
I have a criminal record.
I won't.
You will.
I won't.
You will.
I won't.
I'm an outcast.
What? No, you're not.
My home is this way.
Hold on!
You don't have to run away.
I don't know if this is the best time to say this, but...
I... love you.
Sorry, I don't know if I should've told you.
Actually, forget what I just said.
I can't!
I can't.
After telling you so much about myself...
I was certain you would detest me.
I... also...
Love you.
Uh...
I couldn't hear the ending.
I love you.
Sorry.
Why do you apologize?
But I'm glad.
Uh...
can you... cook for me?
Yes.
Coming in.
Sorry, it's messy in here.
Coming in.
Wait a minute.
Okay.
Can I use your frying pan?
I haven't really washed it...
I forgot to buy green onions...
Yes?
I forgot to buy green onions, I'll go buy some.
Green onions?
Thin or thick ones?
Thin one.
Will this do?
You're like my grandma!
My grandma used to grow them too.
You know,
it loses flavor a little...
but convenient.
Yeah.
Dear Takuya.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Please tell mom and dad not to worry.
It's a new semester for you.
Has your life in school improved?
From Suzuko.
What is he doing?
Stop!
Don't mess with us!
Only 36,755 yen left...
Nakajima and Satou.
Yes.
We have a new employee starting today.
I'm Miyamoto Tomoyo, pleased to meet you.
She's from the same university as you, Nakajima.
Really?
Yes, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
...is the chewy one,
and Japanese Spinach is the traditional, sweet type.
There's so many, I can't remember them all!
Sorry, just take your time.
What's your major?
I'm in psychology.
Really?
Me too.
Please teach me.
Sure.
Really?
Nakajima is popular with girls!
Excuse me!
Yes, coming.
Sorry, I can't go today.
Oh, I got it.
Have you prepared for the dinner?
No, don't worry.
Great.
See you.
Bye. - Bye.
What's going on here?
I'm sorry.
We can't sell this anymore!
What is it, carelessness?
Carelessness, right?
It's because you're used to it, right?
You're careless now.
I'm sorry.
That "I'm sorry"... is it for me?
Or for the plant?
Listen,
I have a favor to ask of you.
What is it?
It's not easy for me to say this...
Can you... lend me some money?
How much?
About 50,000 would be fine.
What do you say?
Sure.
I'll withdraw the money tomorrow.
Thanks.
Satou, are you going to live with Nakajima?
Huh? We're not that far along yet.
Oh, he asked me to show him your shift schedule.
He was calculating your salary.
I thought you were planning to live together.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Satou,
can I ask you to return his notebook for me?
He missed his class today.
Okay, I got it.
Thank you.
I'm off.
So this is what his handwriting is like.
Satou!
Good timing!
Can I borrow 10,000 yen?
I just happened to see her,
but I don't have any money on me.
Okay.
Thanks.
Want to drink with us?
No... I have to go somewhere.
See you. - Thanks.
What am I doing?
Two adults.
That'll be 3,600 yen.
Thank you.
Sorry.
800 yen please.
From 1,000.
Your change is 200 yen.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Oh, it's you.
You should've called me.
I forgot to give it to you.
Thanks.
Come in.
I only have iced tea though.
Here.
Thanks.
Want to go for dinner?
No, I'm going home soon.
You're not staying over?
There's something I want to ask you.
What?
Um...
Nakajima... do you love me?
What, all of a sudden?
Do you?
I do.
Why?
Being with you is relaxing...
And?
What's wrong? You're not yourself today.
And?
And...
I... I think you're cute...
And?
Let's stop, this is embarrassing.
Because I have money, right?
You wouldn't be going out with me if not for the money.
Why would you say that?
Why do I have to pay for your dating cost with another girl?
That's...
Yes?
You can't tell me the reason...
I'm...
tired of being with you.
[ Satou Takuya ]
Dear sis.
How are you?
They left a vase on my desk few days ago, like in remembrance of the dead.
I got really upset,
and broke that vase.
Then got into a fight with the guys who were bullying me.
Then one of them got hurt.
Then I was taken to a place called Child Counseling Center.
I shouldn't have injured him,
So I apologized to him.
But he won't forgive me.
Sis, was I that bad?
I know I shouldn't have injured him...
Mom and dad are telling me I should transfer to another school.
But I remembered you on that day.
So I decided to not run, no matter what.
So I will go to the same middle school as them.
I won't take the entrance exams to private school.
I will do my best.
So I won't be an embarrassment to you.
Sis, our parents are worried about you.
Please call them once every while.
From Takuya.
Your sister is a coward.
A total coward.
Dear Takuya.
I'm sorry for not writing to you for so long.
I'm doing fine.
I thought I was a stronger person.
But I'm not.
Family or lovers...
The key to a long relationship, I thought...
was not telling each other the most important things.
I thought I could avoid troubles and live peacefully by simply agreeing and laughing.
To eventually end up a relationship where no one can say what they feel...
is very unfortunate.
I think when people meet, they must eventually part.
Because I'm scared of the parting...
I was escaping from it.
But I just realized that we part in order to meet others.
I thought leaving someone you love...
is not something to cry over.
I'm sure it's not very convincing coming from someone like me,
but you've done nothing wrong.
You're really admirable.
I have run away from many people,
Next time, in the next town...
I would like to stand on my own feet and face the world.
I am inspired by you.
Thank you.
From Suzuko.
Fortunately, we'll have enough staff here. Good luck.
Thank you.
It's all the money I borrowed from you.
Bye.
Are you really fine with this?
You haven't solved the misunderstanding.
You didn't want her to save up a million yen,
so you borrowed money on purpose...
She ended up leaving without saving up a million yen anyway.
What are you doing?
Too much water.
You're right.
What am I doing?
It can't end like this.
As if that'll actually happen!
