Achoo! Damn it. Ah...
Ah... don't wanna.
Huh?
Here it is.
A whisker?
Whaa! It can't be. Can't be, right?
Maybe I can pull it out?
Where is it?
Ah, won't come out, huh?
Found it, found it.
You... you rascal.
Ow.,ow... You rascal...
Ow. That hurts!
Okay.
I pray this will be okay. Okay.
I'm off...
Ahh... feels good!
Thanks for the food!
- Thanks for the business. - Ow.
"Empty bottles"
- Thanks for your hard work. - Thanks for your hard work!
Ah, welcome. Good afternoon.
- Midori-chan, if you would please. - Yes.
How would you like it? Is there any way you like it?
Well then, I'll dry it.
- Please do. - Yes.
- Aren't e-mails a pain? - Not at all.
Because if it's just a short one, it's faster than by phone
Ehh... Phones nowadays are heavy though.
Eh? Phones are heavy? They've lost a lot of weight.
- Eh. It's garake nowadays. (feature phone as opposed to a smart phone) - What's a "garake"?
You're so out of touch, Sakura-san.
What is it? Tell me. What, what?
Excuse me.
Vice-manager. Your 11 o'clock reservation with Nishizawa-san has arrived.
Ah, okay.
Then Shoko-chan, let's send you through once more. - Yes.
- Then, if you would please. - Yes.
- Yes, Nishizawa-san. Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
Ala. It's gotten considerably longer in the back, hasn't it?
Excuse me, Sakura-san. Please do a color check for me.
- Ah, please wait just a moment. - Yes.
Eh... You're getting there. Another 5 minutes, please.
- Yes. - Excuse me.
I'm sorry Yoko-san, for keeping you waiting.
Not at all.
Since you're so busy, I'm sorry for asking for you, Sakura-san.
Don't say that.
Then, let's give you a light massage.
Excuse me. Yeah.
Ah, feels so good.
Are you going out somewhere today?
No. My grandchild is coming to stay for the weekend.
Ah, that's nice, isn't it?
I just felt I'd like to be a little younger and more beautiful Grandma in front of my grandson.
Umm. That's wonderful.
- Say, Sakura-san. - Yes?
Aren't you married yet?
My work is my husband right now.
Would you be interested in trying an omiai?
I'll ask you when I can't bear the loneliness any longer.
Then, it's about time...
Eh... let's put the rollers in, okay?
And, go! Rock-paper-scissors.
All evens.
Too bad. Ready, go!
- What are you playing for? - Ah!
Don't tell me, it's for who gives the next customer their shampoo?
But it's THAT customer.
They always stink and are really fat.
Since we work in a business where we serve customers...
...the one thing we cannot do is be picky about who our customers are. Got that?
- I'm very sorry. - Well then, I'll work on them today.
No, no. We can't have the Vice-manager giving shampoos.
It's okay every now and then.
There's no sorrow in such things.
Ah... Her sermonizing-father personality appeared.
She can be such a nice person though. Yeah.
- Ah, by the way. - Huh?
I wonder if her promotion to Manager has been handed down yet?
It's not certain this time around either, is it?
Still, it was said Sakura-san would get it both last year and the year before, but it turned out she didn't, right?
The brass ain't considering her for it anymore.
Don't like saying this, but she is getting up in years.
- Right? - Yeah.
- Ohayo! - Good morning!
Whaa, this brings back memories. It hasn't changed at all.
Who's that?
It's Tachibana-san from the head office.
Him and Sakura-san are the same age and they both got their starts here as stylists...
...but he was given one promotion after another and now he's the intimidating Manager of the Ginza office.
But why is Tachibana-san here?
Hey, hey. Oi, Tachibana. Whaa, a beard.
- What's up with that? - Eh?
- What are you here for? - Haven't you heard?
Starting today, I'll be the Manager here.
Eh?
Counting on all of you.
- Yes! - Let's work together.
Could someone get me some coffee?
- Yes. - Ah, yes.
- Hey, what's this about? - About what?
Don't give me that. When was your appointment handed down?
- Last week, Monday, I think. - What's that?
Why are you coming here without even contacting me?
- How long have you been Vice-manager here? - 8 Years.
8 years, huh? What's more, you've been here ever since you joined the company.
Could it be there's someone at the head office who hates you?
I'm kidding. Still, it's been a long time, Kin.
Stop calling me that. Anyhow, somehow...
I've been smelling something for awhile now.
Stinks! You reek of alcohol!
They threw a farewell party for me yesterday.
Thing is, just how long were you drinking in order to reek like that? Geez.
- Til 7? - 7?
- This morning. - Aren't you an idiot?
Though you'll be working with customers, aren't you a fool to be drinking until morning?
I don't smell that much, do I?
You reek. I don't know what it's like over in Ginza...
...but we never come into the office here stinking of alcohol.
What is this? And after meeting you again after so long.
Ah, were you dumped by a guy?
I don't have a guy.
That's true, huh?
What's with the "That's true, huh" for? Huh?!
Stinks! You stink.
Wait, Kin.
Shut up!
What on earth is this about? Why so suddenly and without even discussing it with me?
Thing is, why send him out from Ginza?
It was the result of careful consideration.
If you're dissatisfied with it, there's nothing we can do if you want to quit.
What will you do?
That store is like a child I've carefully nurtured and raised.
I could never just abandon it.
Excuse me.
Okay.
To be honest, Sakura-san just isn't cut out to be a Manager.
I guess a Manager's highest priority ought to be about sales, right?
But Sakura-san considers things far too much from the customer's standpoint...
...so management figures she's letting profits get away.
It's true Sakura-san is popular with the customers...
...but it may be the company wants this store to be managed by someone with talent.
But I want to become a beautician like the Vice-manager.
That's why I keep saying you shouldn't keep giving only shampoos forever.
Okay.
Ah.
Itadaikmasu.
Ow.
"Don't cry in public."
"You're an adult already."
Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Last Cinderella"
Episode 1: "The Old-man Woman's Love and the Naughty Prince who Appears; a Clumsy Love Begins"
Tachibana Rintaro? The one who's the same age you are?
Right. He's the worst!
You've been calling him your natural enemy since forever, right?
What's so wrong about him?
There's something about him that just pisses me off.
He lunges from one thing to another...
...and calmly says the rudest things.
And to make matters worse, he calls me Ki...
Anyhow...
...I don't think I can take having to see that face of his every day.
Geez, this is the pits!
Ow, ow, ow!
Sakura. Is there something wrong with you?
Give me a break. I'm ill. Maybe something good will happen?
- Like winning the lottery? - That'd be good, huh?
- Or maybe finding a good man. - That'd be nice.
- Or maybe my house loan would just disappear. - Miki, you're such the realist.
Or maybe I'll be seduced by a young man.
Nothing but men for Shima-nee.
Would a life with no men in it be any fun?
You're saying that to me, who hasn't had a man in 10 years?
Sorry.
It's been 10 years already?
10 years already.
It's like you've gone back to being a virgin.
It'll hurt next time you do it.
It's only talk that there will be a next time though.
Ah. I'm sorry.
Would it be okay for me to take this off?
Ah, I forgot about that.
Excuse me.
Ow. Ow.
Was was it? Did you pop some acne?
Or did you get a nice long whisker going? Like some old man.
- Eh? - Sakura?
We're only joking.
It's nothing to joke about.
I did have a whisker growing.
- Eh?! - Eh?!
Maybe I really am a man.
They exist. Women who grow beards.
Eh?! What's that? Really?
Due to overwork and stress.
And when your life become irregular...
...for example due to disturbed eating habits...
...then your hormonal balance gradually gets messed up...
...and your body can become masculinized.
Ah, could it be she's a Oyaji-gal? (a young woman who acts like an old man)
They say that nowadays...
...there are women who change to men or old-man women.
Women who change to men.
Old-man women.
This is the pits.
Whaa! The best! Feels so good!
I don't want to ever leave.
- Say, Sakura. - Huh?
Don't you want to give that a try?
Give what a try?
Sex.
In the first place Sakura, you've lost all consciousness of even being a woman.
Even though you're a beautician, you don't care about make-up or fashion.
So naturally you don't get kissed or make physical contact, do you?
Going on with a life like that for 10 years...
...I think anyone would forget they were a woman.
What then? By not having sex, a woman will grow whiskers?
No way.
No. It's not like that.
What'll I do?
Truth is, I've been getting less, too.
Ala. When was your last time?
It'll be a year ago already.
When I go to bed, I go to sleep right away just to avoid it.
But since I'd hate growing whiskers like Sakura...
...I'll try to interest him in it tonight.
Yeah. That'd be best.
Sakura, you should watch and learn, too.
Thing is, Japanese women are way too passive.
But it's said men like us like that.
They love it.
Usually we should be graceful...
...but at the crucial moment a woman should change and make some bold moves.
As an AV dressmaker for TV dramas, I can't miss such things.
Can't be helped.
In the first place, men don't understand women at all.
True. Men don't understand ANYTHING.
Women don't understand ANYTHING!
A woman who's lost her charming side should just say so honestly and let it go.
As they get older, they lose their cute side for some reason, right?
You could say they become shameless.
Ala? Why is that?
Because they're no longer conscious of us as men, they forget their shyness.
Recently there's been so many women who act like men that I'm bored to death.
True, right?
I wonder what's happened to all the shy women?
And it's said when you're rough with them that only makes them bolder.
It's good, it's good. That's the best, right?
Here. Thanks for waiting for your Kamo Seiro. (soba noodles in a bamboo basket served with a bowl of duck meat soup)
- Oh, it's here, it's here. - Here you go.
- Thanks. - Thank you very much.
- Itadakimasu. - Yes, go ahead.
Ken-chan, your soba's the best.
Right? Thank you!
Ow. That hurt.
Ah... Pain, pain fly away. There.
You two get along, don't you?
We've been best friends since we were kids. Well, I'm the one who's happy he's come back.
About women.
Well, women nowadays don't talk modestly.
But there's that.
Isn't it said that when men began eating plants that women become masculinized?
This is a good place to talk about that false charge, too.
Back when women were going on a rampage about seeking empowerment.
We said we'd treat them equally...
...and that was when women began brandishing their bad sides.
I'm fed up to here with women like that.
It's far easier just being alone.
- Manager, are you single? - Naturally.
- Ken-san, you too? - Yeah.
Since you Senpais are impressively up front about being single...
...we young guys don't have to be in any rush at all.
I guess...
...only two-dimensional women will do for me.
Two-dimensional?
This.
Two-dimensional women are cute and refined.
Above all, they won't betray a man's hopes.
Ah...
You surprised me.
You don't even cover your mouth.
- Stop that or you WILL end up a man. - Yeah, yeah.
Say, let's go for some tea.
Ah, sorry. I have to go already.
Ala. I'll treat for the tea.
It's not that. What we were talking about earlier, right?
- I'm gonna do my best today. - Ahh...
- At this time of day? - Not very erotic.
No, not that.
I've been spending all my time taking care of the kids and the housework.
So today I'll make my husband's favorite meal...
...and be waiting for him.
- Sakura's husband's so nice. - True.
Say, when are you gonna let me meet him?
Ah, that's right. You still haven't met him, have you?
That's right. Hurry and show him off to me. I won't take him away.
But Shima-san, you didn't come over when I did invite you.
I just happened to be busy. I'll come next time.
Promise?
- Then, see you again. - So long.
- Good luck! - Hey!
I want a daughter-in-law like Miki.
There you go with that old-man talk again.
But Miki's so adorable.
Though she's got 3 family members and more, she doesn't mind at all.
True. She's always been adorable, huh?
- I guess that's why she's married? - I did too, didn't I?
You got divorced.
Let's go for tea. I'm thirsty.
Say, how about beer?
- It's still only 3, isn't it? - Who cares?
Right? Let's go.
- Ah, we're here. - Okay, let's drink.
"For now, a beer please."
"Instead of water."
I got this from a customer, but will you eat it?
- I'll eat it, I'll eat it. Thanks. - Here you go.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Geh.
Ah, hello! We haven't kept in touch.
- Um, I'm Sakura's friend... - I remember.
- Ehh... Shima-san, isn't it? - That's right!
Whaa, I'm deeply moved you remembered me.
I never forget a beauty.
Oh my, a beauty. Hey, did you hear that?
- Let's go to another bar. - Why?
I wanna some privacy and don't want to see him.
I can hear you.
C'mon, sit, sit.
Geez!
- What'll you have? - For now, a beer.
Comin' up.
Ehh... Drinking during the day.
It's fine since it's my day off...
By the way, who are you to talk?
I'm a man.
Eh? Huh? Huh, huh?
Hey, Sakura.
What's that? It's okay for a man to drink during the day, but not for a woman?
A woman needs to be modest.
By doing the same things a man does, there's no difference between men and women.
What's this modesty?
Nowadays there's no such thing as what's good for men is bad for women.
Those things are an anachronism.
That's why you'll never be able to succeed in life.
Hey.
What do you mean by that?
No matter how much you say women have advanced in society...
...this world is still a man's society, after all.
A woman like you who can't flatter men, no matter how hard she might work...
...will just be a failure both at her career and with men as well.
- Hey! - Sakura!
A woman who doesn't flatter men? They're the best.
If it means I won't be promoted because I won't flatter men...
...then I'll be fine just like this my entire life.
I'll be fine my entire life being alone and living like this! Hmph!
- Ken-chan. - Huh?
- My bill. - Running away?
I haven't finished packing up and moving.
I feel sorry for Shima-san, too.
Weird face.
Wipe it with this.
So long; take your time.
- Thank you and we're sorry. - No. It's okay.
- So long, Kin. - Hurry and go already!
- Thank you very much. - Wait.
- What a handsome man. - Where?
No matter how you look at him, he's one hot guy.
He works and is easy to talk to. And he's in great condition.
Shima-nee, since he's a man, that's good enough for you, right?
How terrible.
I refuse to say I'm sorry to such a male-chauvinistic, objection for objection's sake man.
Even if he were the only man on earth, no way in hell I'd tell him I'm sorry.
By the way, what's this "Kin" stuff?
Ah. Hey, Kakeru. Have you finished your homework?
- Yeah. - Ah, Saki-chan, sorry. Grab that bowl there.
Ah.
- What's for dinner? - Huh?
Oden and potato salad and shiitake mushrooms stuffed with meat.
Feels like there's nothing for me to eat.
Hey... What's with that way of speaking? These are all Papa's favorites.
- Let Big Sis join in! - No way.
- Then I'll turn it off. - Stop, you old cow!
- Ah. Kakeru. - What was that!
Ah, he's home.
Yes. Coming. What's up? Forgot your key?
- Mother... - Ah... Ala, ala.
Every time I come here, the train is always packed.
- Kohei? Are you here? - No. Um...
Kohei!
Yes, yes... You can do it, you can do it.
- Miki-san. - Yes! Yes.
Just how many hours do you let them go on like that?
We decided on 2 hours a day.
My, 2 hours?!
When Kohei was a child, I wouldn't even let him watch TV.
Now they even have lots of toys parents have fun with, don't they?
- I'm home. - Ala. Kohei, welcome home.
- Mom, you're here? - You're late.
- Is it that busy at work? - Well, a little.
Speaking of which, haven't you gotten a little thinner?
Just take a look at this belly of mine.
Ala, you're right. It is sticking out a bit.
It's not just "a bit."
Hey you guys. Your Grandma's come, so put away the game.
That's okay. It's not like I came from far away.
Yeah. That's true.
Look, since you live nearby, you should drop by occasionally whenever you want.
Thank you. You really are such a nice boy.
- It's only natural. - Miki-san.
Yes?
- Hurry up with Kohei's dinner. - Ah, yes.
Now, now, now. Sit down. Yes, yes. You've worked hard, you've worked hard.
- Haven't you gotten younger? - Eh? Me? No way.
What are you saying? Thank you, thank you.
- How long has it been since I was here last? - It's been a long time, huh?
Ahh... How many have I had?
Ehh... 3 so far.
Ahh... I'm so drunk, aren't I?
Isn't that okay, from time to time?
That's true.
Because of this I deliberately switched shifts just so I could meet with Sakura on her day off.
And then she goes to sleep.
Like some old man, huh?
Then, since I'll go hit the restroom, could you give me the bill?
Certainly.
- Ah, sorry. - I'm sorry.
- Ah, sorry. - No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Could I have a moment? - Eh?
- Just a moment. - Eh? Wai... wait. Um... wait...
I guess Mother's had another fight with her sister...
...but even though this is her son's home, suddenly coming over like this is a bother.
She doesn't do anything to help me out.
She acts like she's in her own home and is so rude when she comes in.
Say. You aren't going to tell her to live here, right?
- Are you listening? - I heard you.
Ah. Geh. Geez. Going to sleep.
Hey! What are you doing?
What am I doing? What we haven't done in forever.
- My Mom's just downstairs. - Then don't do any screaming.
That's not what I meant. We just can't do that, right? Geez. I'm going to sleep.
"Going on with a life like that for 10 years..."
"...I think anyone would forget they were a woman."
"But since I'd hate growing whiskers like Sakura..."
"...I'll try to interest him in it tonight."
"A woman like you who can't flatter men..."
"...no matter how hard she might work..."
"...will just be a failure both at her career and with men as well.."
"Huh?"
"No. No. No. No. No!"
"Ahh!"
Hey, are you okay?
- Eh? - Well...
Eh?!
You're drooling.
- Ah, I'm drooling? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm fine. Just a dream, huh?
Ala? Where's Shima-nee gone to?
She was going to the restroom but hasn't come back yet.
- Ah, I'll go take a look. - That's okay, that's okay. I'll go.
Before that, give me the check.
Yes. Sorry, Sakura-san.
Huh?
Well, about Rintaro.
He's not a bad guy; just he's had a bad mouth on him since long ago.
I don't care the least about that. I'm fine.
Not sure why it is and this might not be the best way to put it, but he makes an enemy of himself.
That's how he angers his girlfriends.
That kind of guy would just hurt a girlfriend.
Well, that was in the past.
He's some kind of curious guy. Here.
Ah, thank you.
Ah, sorry. You woke up. Been waiting?
No, I'm fine. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. Okay, let's go.
What's the matter?
Eh? Is there something?
Your face is kinda odd.
That's not true.
- What's the matter? - Here, your change.
Let's go.
Sakura.
Hey, Sakura.
You did it, didn't you? In the restroom.
Did what?
Don't play dumb. You had sex. You did, didn't you?
I'm sorry.
- Hey, you're just sick. - That's right!
I really am a little sick.
- I wonder if I should go to the hospital? - You're a little...
Hey, I'm trying to be serious. Hey Sakura. Ow!
Shima-nee.
I'm sorry.
I'll... get a man.
Eh?
I've been thinking recently I should take both my work and friends seriously...
...but if it means turning into an old man like this, I'd hate that.
- Sakura... - That's why I'll get myself a man.
Before I turn 40, I'll definitely find a good man and absolutely be in love.
That's great, Sakura! That's the spirit!
Okay! I can do it!
But... how?
"I realized I had forgotten how to love (^^;)"
There. Arranging it by hand like this is easy and nice, isn't it?
You're right.
- Just like this. - This is incredibly nice.
- Nice, isn't it? - I love this. Yeah.
That's great.
By the way, when I came in last time you told me this.
That if I wanted to get a boyfriend, I should hit him with my feelings.
- Ah, yeah. - That's why I got the courage and told him.
And then he told me that he likes me, too!
Yeah! You did it!
It really is all thanks to you, Sakura-san. Thank you very much.
What are you saying? No need to thank me, that's great.
Good for you.
Say, say, say, what happened? I want to hear all about it.
It's like she's become a love guru or something.
Actually, that's true.
Because we have lots of customers who come in just to consult with Sakura-san about that.
Huh?
Welcome. Good afternoon.
I have a 2 o'clock appointment. I'm Ogami.
Ogami Chiyoko-sama, right? Thank you for waiting.
- I'll take your jacket. - Welcome. Good afternoon.
Sakura-san.
Ala? Eh?
- Could that be you, Choko-chan? - Yes.
- Hello. Sorry for not keeping in touch. - My, it's been a long time.
You were like this little and now you're all grown up.
- You've become beautiful. - Not at all.
- Sakura-san, you haven't changed at all. - Well, really? Say that some more.
You mustn't, Choko-chan.
Don't take this person's compliments seriously.
- Be quiet. - Thanks for coming in right away.
- This way. - Come in.
- OK. Then, take care of the neutralizer. - Yes.
Oof, excuse me.
Your ass is just too big.
Hey. Are you saying I can give birth easily?
- Ah, it's pearls thrown before swine though. - You don't know that yet.
Choko-chan, couldn't you introduce someone to her?
She's like a love guru or something around here...
...but you could say she's overly loud and hasn't had a guy in forever.
Choko-chan, pay no attention to him.
Okay. Let's dry it. Dry this please.
Yes.
I understand somehow. You're in love with me, aren't you?
Huh?!
You've been like this ever since grade school, right?
You only loved those girls who would tease you.
The stupid boy who can't express his love. That's you, isn't it?
There are girls who tease boys like that, right?
Unpopular girls who'd make them say "Stop it already. I hate you, Sa-chan." That was you, right?
Sorry, but I've decided to get myself a man.
- Oh. - And I'll confess my love right away.
- What? Is it Kokkuri-san? (From a Korean horror film) - Who's that?!
Well, do your best.
Just because you've decided to get a man doesn't mean you'll get one right away...
Sakura-san.
Yes?
There's a go-kon party this Sunday at the Star Palace Hotel.
- If you'd like, do you want to come with me? - Eh?! Me?
Yes. Though I say participating, just being a Sakura would be fine. (meaning as a lure)
Choko-chan, you're joking, right? She'll be 40 here shortly.
- Age hasn't got anything to do with it, right? - It does.
You're so clumsy they'll think you're Choko-chan's Mama.
It's like you'd be going there expressly to embarrass yourself.
No one will think such a thing.
Since you're seeking a boyfriend, how about just taking a look as a trial run?
Really? That's true.
- Then, could I bring along some friends? - Of course.
Please tell me the names of your friends later.
Roger.
Just you watch. I'll definitely get myself a good man.
- Oh. I'll be waiting for your good report. - Hmph!
Ah. Wait...
Hello?
I have a little favor to ask. Come right away.
All right.
Hmm... Okay.
What the hell?
"Love is sweet!" (from the song "Only if you have love" by actress/singer Morike Aki)
Yes.
Ahh... What should I wear?
Okay. Okay. Ala?
Yeah. Ah, this is fine. This is good. Eh?
Eh?! Wait, how did that get there?
No way.
Hmm...
Well, whatever.
I only have these, huh?
Geh!
What is this, geez?
Yoko-san?
Ah!
Yoko-san. Stay right there a moment.
Sakura-san?
"Stop"
Ahh...
Thank goodness.
Your 6 o'clock customer canceled.
Ah, I see.
- Sakura-san? - What are you doing?
Help me open it, geez!
What happened?
Ahh!? It's slippery. Bring me a dryer.
Yes.
Geez! I'm all soaked. For pete's sake. I totally hate this.
Ah, this is no good.
What is this? Is there a typhoon out there?
No. What are you saying?
- Thanks for waiting. - Ah, thanks Haru-chan.
Ah, never mind, never mind. I'll do it, so it's okay.
- Thank you; get back to work. - Yes.
This should do it. Okay...
I give up. Really, geez...
As I recall, that go-kon is today, isn't it?
I can't go in these clothes, now can I?
Just like you said, if I did go in these clothes, I'd be embarrassed.
That's right. I need to contact Shima-nee and Miki.
- Ah, I see. You just don't have the confidence. - You're wrong.
You don't have the confidence to go to a go-kon or get a man either, do you?
That's why you're fine with getting soaked in the rain 'cause it stops you from going.
- I told you, you're wrong. - Then get going.
You were serious about getting a man, weren't you?
In that case fight for it and don't run away.
Very well. I'll go, I'll go.
For pete's sake, geez. Bitch, bitch, bitch, geez. I'm going!
Dressed like that?
Then what else can I do?
Thing is, why are you even in those clothes?
You're like some college student out job hunting!
Can't help it. This is the only dress I've got.
Thing is, a man who fishes for women because of their clothes has an ulterior motive that I don't like.
Fool. You're such a fool.
The one who calls someone a fool is the fool. Fool.
This is just for appearance. Only for appearance.
In the first place, a woman who's unhappy with her appearance doesn't count as a woman.
Sorry for being unhappy.
Kyaa! Hey! What are you doing, you pervert?!
At least you should show off your legs.
If I shortened it that much, they'd get a full view of my panties. What are you saying, fool.
That's right. So the shorter the skirt, the better.
If anything, you could even go without panties.
You really are a pervert.
- I guess. - I wasn't complementing you, geez.
- That was a compliment. - So irritating.
- Sakura-san. - Eh? Yoko-san.
I truly thank you for earlier.
My grandson was thrilled.
Wait. You went to the bother to tell me this?
Sakura-san. You were drenched, weren't you?
Yes.
Um, I made this dress for my daughter a long time ago...
...but if you'd like, could you wear it?
Ah! This is something you made, Yoko-san?
That's right. Ala. But I guess it is a little old-fashioned, isn't it?
Don't tell me you're gonna wear that thing to the go-kon?
Ow! Ow!
Um, let me do up your hair.
Ah, yes. No, yes.
Sorry, sorry.
What were you doing?
Booking a hotel room. It'd be a pain trying to get home if I'm drunk, right?
How nice to have money like that.
My husband'll be back at 9 to pick me up.
How nice to have a husband like that.
- Am I asking for the moon? - You are.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Sakura. What's with those clothes?
What's with this vintage feel?
I can smell the mothballs from your wardrobe.
Eh?! You're right!
There's a reason. For now, let's go, let's go. Okay.
- Sakura. Hold on a minute, hold on. - Are you sure about this?
Whaa!
Say. What kind of party is this?
It's a businessman party, isn't it?
Sorry. It's really a go-kon.
- A go-kon?! - A go-kon?!
Hey, I'm married, you know!
It's okay, it's okay. Since I'm a Sakura here.
Besides, I had to say that to get you two to come along.
It's true. They're all young and they feel like celebrities, don't they?
- I'm kinda aroused. - Me, too.
I haven't been to such a gorgeous place in I don't know how many years.
And the dishes are amazingly gorgeous.
- Is that free? - It's free, it's free. For women, it's free.
I was told it's okay to eat and drink all you want.
That's true.
We came all the way here, we might as well have fun, right?
That's right, that's right.
- Then, I'm diving in first. - Have a nice time.
Have a nice time.
- How do you do? - Ah, hello.
Thank you.
OK. Great.
Sakura-san.
- Choko-chan! - You did come.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much for inviting me.
Somehow your clothes today aren't very Sakura-san-ish.
Really? Tachibana did say I should try and be like you, Choko-chan.
- Rintaro-san did? - Yes, yes.
Well, I'll be going in for awhile, too. So long.
Hello?
What are you doing? Hurry and get over here.
And come properly dressed.
Yes, yes.
Your fingers are so beautiful.
A man's beautiful fingers...
...makes me horny.
Please have some.
Thank you.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Could I take some of this home with me?
Eh?! Let me find out. Please wait a moment.
If you would please.
Excuse me! Ah.
Another one of this, please.
Yes, yes, yes. Thanks, thanks.
Excuse me. Another one of this, please.
Thanks, thanks. Sorry about this.
It's hard to wear these shoes after all this time.
Whaa, what is this? It's dirty. I'll need an adhesive plaster.
Itchy, itchy. The soles of my feet are so itchy.
Don't know where this itch is coming from, though.
Geez, what the hell is she doing? She told me to come pick her up at 9, geez.
I'm coming up losers today.
He was rotten at it.
I made a reservation for a room earlier...
...but because some urgent business came up, can I cancel it?
Let me check. What is your name?
- Hasegawa. Hasegawa Shima. - Just a moment please.
Papa. Papa, were you waiting?
- What do you mean you can't find it? - Let's see...
It has to be here, right? Because I brought her here.
- Um, with the go-kon? - Not a go-kon.
A PTA thank-you party. Isn't it here?
I shouldn't be talking to you. Isn't your boss around?
Your boss. Hey, please call for your boss.
I've found you...
- Ma'am. Thank you for waiting. - Excuse me.
- Cancel my cancellation. - Huh?
- She's about this tall and... - Um...
- Yes? - This may be rude of me...
...but are you looking for the thank-you party venue?
You know where it is?
- I'll guide you there. - Ah, you're a help.
Like I said, it was a waste asking me to a meeting like this.
Thing is, I'm like this. I'm a Sakura.
Not the name. Ah, but my name is Sakura, too.
Because I'm Toyama Sakura, that idiot calls me "Kin."
(after Toyama no Kin-san, popular fictional samurai character with a "sakura" tattoo)
Do you know about "Toyama no Kin-san" with the sakura blossoms?
What, what? You said you would earlier.
Let's go for now. Not at this hotel.
- Let's go to a much better hotel. - Let me go.
What is this?! You're the one who said she wanted to be alone with me.
- Let me go. - Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey you! She doesn't like it, so stop.
Huh? This has got nothing to do with you.
Let's go, let's go.
- That hurts! - I told you to stop, didn't I?
What's with this old lady? What are you even doing in a place like this?
Huh? Did ya come just ta have a shot at some young guy?
And if I did, what of it? Would you be my partner?
Sure. But, pay first.
If not, then no way. Sorry though.
No way I'd do it with you! Not with a virgin!
Who's the virgin? Old hag.
Sorry for being an old hag, you little shit.
Whoever gave birth to a brat like you must have begged for it.
A man who can't see when their partner doesn't want to do it doesn't have the right to seduce a woman.
If ya understand, then hurry up and get lost!
Excuse us.
- Ma'am. Could you come with us for a moment? - What for?
Hey. This is strange. Hey!
- We're just taking you over here. - Wait... Hang on...
- Come in. - Thanks. Excuse me.
Well, this really is a big help...
Um, this is...?
Whoa?! Eh?
Ever had... an affair?
Huh?!
No, I've never had an affair. Please excuse me.
Don't you... want to do it?
Do that?
Well, it's not whether I want to do it or not.
- Calm down. - Good, isn't it?
Let's just chill for now. Chill down.
You're cute.
Why am I the one being kicked out when I didn't do anything wrong? Ow!
Ow. Geez, this shoe is all worn out.
Forget it. Fool.
I want another round.
You forgot something.
My Cinderella.
Cinderella?
Whaa!
- You okay? - I... I'm fine.
Eh?
You were trying to eat me just now, weren't you?
I... I wasn't.
You're cute.
What are you saying? That is, where am I?
Who are you?
Could it be you don't remember?
Eh?
Ah, I do remember! You're the Prince.
Prince?!
Because you called me Cinderella, didn't you?
Did I say that?
You did. You said it, you said it. You definitely said it...
And what happened after that?
You said you didn't want to go home, so I took you to my room...
Yeah.
You said you couldn't walk, so I carried you to the bed.
Yeah.
You said you wanted to sleep with me, so I got into the bed.
And then?
And then...
Huh?! No way, no way.
Really? So he's saying we did it?
We did it. Eh? Did we do it?
- Eh? - Eh? Ah, nothing.
That is, if we did do it, that's fine though.
I mean it's too bad I don't remember any of it and I regret that.
Why can't I remember? I'm such a jerk.
Then, shall we have another go at it now?
- Eh?! - I'm joking.
I'm Saeki Hiroto.
Hiroto-kun.
Ah, I'm Toyama Sakura.
Yeah, I know.
How? I must have been really drunk.
Sakura-san.
Yes?
Please...
...go out with me.
Eh?
I've come... to like you.
Please.
Please go out with me.
Well...
Ah...
It's blooming.
Next week, more sexy stuff with "Last Cinderella."
Please look forward to it!
