My kiss face.
Ow.
Ala. She's a beautiful girl, isn't she?
Huh? Ah... yeah.
That was a little... You mustn't do that with my ear.
Not with your ear, huh?
I want you, as much as possible, to keep quiet...
...about how you asked me to get close to Sakura-san.
Ah...
No way.
You're close to her.
You absolutely can't let Sakura know about this.
No matter what, you have to prevent it from coming out.
Before it comes out to her...
...normal lovers would break up; they'd break up. Got that?
What is it?
- Got a minute? - I don't.
- Here. - That's cold!
- I'm comin' in! - Oi!
Then what did I just tell you?
Let's see... Is it around here?
Ehh... What's this? There's just "Dokaben" manga. (Baseball manga by Mizushima Shinji 1972-1981)
What are you doing?
You're the kind of person who comes in without permission and does whatever they like?
I ain't.
- Then what is this? - Huh?
- Where's yer video porn? - Huh?!
Ya've got some, right? Hurry and bring it out.
I don't have any.
- Liar! - I'm not lying!
I haven't rented any of that stuff recently.
And just why is it you're looking for adult videos anyway?
Turns out...
...we haven't done anything yet.
"Haven't done anything yet"? Who and what?
"I've been lying to you."
"I've been..."
"...lying to you this entire time."
"I'm sorry."
"Truth is..."
"...we haven't done anything yet."
"Eh?"
"That time when we first met and you were drunk..."
"...and when you woke up you were at the hotel, right?"
"At the time I told you we had had sex, but..."
"...actually, we hadn't done anything."
"Really?"
"I'm sorry!"
"I just wanted to see you again, so I told that lie."
"I'm really very sorry..."
"...for keeping it from you until now!"
"Just because you wanted to see me again... No..."
"Eh?! Eh, um, well..."
"Me and Hiroto-kun, well... Um... Thing is, um... Not even once?"
"Eh?"
"Is... that right?"
Huh?!
And? He's been lying to you all this time, right? Didn't you get angry?
Well, I did get angry. 'Cause there was that fuss over my maybe bein' pregnant and all.
I thought of tellin' him, "ya should've told me sooner!"
But then I got happy.
After all, he went out of his way to tells that lie just sos he could meet me.
How about that, you? What can I do when he's so adorable, right?
Besides...
...I was thinking that was the first time in 10 years I'd gotten drunk and had sex.
So then I figured I could do it again another time...
...and that aroused me and got the juices flowing so much I started snorting about it.
Anyhow, given that case...
...it's only ta be expected we'd go on a trip somewhere and make some memories and such.
What am I gonna do, ya fool!?
When are you going?
We haven't decided that yet, but I'm thinking of takin' a paid vacation.
We're really busy this month, so a paid vacation would be impossible.
Huh?
Look. Those people from the magazine shoot'll be coming in, too.
It'd be a real pain if you took time off right now.
What's that? Just one day'd be fine, right?
Impossible means impossible.
Stingy. Uber-stingy!
Well, let's set that aside.
There was a little something I wanted to ask you about though.
How da ya do sex?
Eh? You went to an onsen?
It was an outdoor onsen and the best!
Eh?! Wait! Which onsen did you go to?
- Kusatsu. - Kusatsu?!
Ooh, how nice. That must have been emotional.
- There's no way. - Geh.
Ah. That's good. This way.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
Why is there no way?
You could use some basic upbringing, too. No way means no way.
Why?!
- You know full well why you can't go. - I don't know!
- Welcome! Good afternoon! - Welcome! Good afternoon!
Um... I have something to report to all of you.
What is it, what is it?
Truth is, I've gotten a part-time job.
"These hands are doing their best. I want to protect them."
"I'll teach you about both stocks and PCs."
"And I'm fine with you doing it until you've found a part-time job."
"How does 2,000 yen an hour sound? ($20)"
Ah. Well, it's just a short-term one, though.
Eh? What kind of company is it?
Ah, it's clerical work. Um, for a real estate agent.
Ehh... That's great, isn't it?
Yeah. Um... I'm sorry for doing this to you, Mother-in-law.
Starting tomorrow I will be out of the house during the day.
Yes. Please feel free.
But in exchange, I don't know how much of a mess this will make of the family.
Ah. Oi, look. Mama's gonna be working hard at her part-time job...
...so next week we can have yakinuku for the first time in forever. (a Japanese dish of fried meat)
All right!
Don't go saying we can have luxurious things just because I've gotten a part-time job.
That's true.
She'll first go off for her part-time job and it'll end up being turned into a new set of clothes.
- Ah, Saki-chan, you're done already? - Yeah.
Thanks for the food.
I'm done.
Saki-chan's been looking down recently.
Isn't it just puberty or something?
I wonder if it's safe to leave her alone?
Don't go saying that; it's just her period. She'll be okay if you leave her alone for awhile.
- Had enough? - Ah. I could eat more, but...
Oh well.
"Room With an Open-air Bath - A Do-it-for-Yourself Date" I guess places like this are best for lovers to go to, right?
By the way, Rintaro told me about this really great place somewhere.
That reminds me; about Rintaro. Are Choko-chan and Tachibana going out together?
Eh? They are?
- Eh? Ken-chan, you don't know either? - He hasn't told me.
I see.
- Say. Here's a good spot. - Ah. Welcome.
- Ah, you've worked hard! - Sakura-san.
Sit here.
- A beer, please. - Comin' up.
Have you found a good place?
Yeah. Ken-chan was saying here and here are good.
- There's open-air baths connected to the rooms. - Right!
We can get in at anytime.
Yeah.
We can get in together.
Yeah.
I've told you this, but I'll pay for all the trip expenses.
Eh? No way, you can't. We'll go dutch.
Nope.
It's a little early, but this trip is my birthday present to you.
Then... Let me find a slightly cheaper place.
Sakura-san.
Yes?
We've decided we'll go to make the very best of memories, right?
Yeah.
In that case, let's go to the Inn you really want to go to.
And leave paying for it to me.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's right. Could I ask one favor of you?
Huh?
I'd like to get a duplicate key from you before long.
Ah, if you don't particularly feel like it, that's okay.
We can just go on this way making appointments to see one another.
All right.
Once we go home, I'll give you one right away.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Ah, excuse me. Go ahead.
Watch your feet. Are you okay to stand?
I'm so happy, so happy. I'm crazy happy. So happy, so happy!
What was that?
What, what, what was it?
"Saying I'll give out A duplicate key Brings a feeling of happiness"
Ah, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.
I'm sorry to you, too. For calling you out at this time of night.
Ah, no. I'm totally fine with it.
Um, what did you want to talk about?
Ah...
The other day when we happened to meet in town.
Ah... Yes.
There was a slightly complex situation going on right then...
...that neither I nor Kin had brought up with you, Choko-chan.
Um, but it was something that Kin had anything to do with.
And I thought you might have misunderstood it.
You brought me out here expressly to tell me this?
I'm sorry. It would've been better just to call, huh?
No, not at all. I'm happy you did.
- And you know, Choko-chan... - Rintaro-san.
Am I no good for you?
Eh?
I can't become your love interest?
Ah, well...
It's not that, um... It's not that Choko-chan isn't any good.
Right now, truth is, no one would be...
"If you want to protect Sakura-san..."
"Then please..."
"...take care of Chiyoko."
Couldn't you just give me a chance?
I'm not saying you have to fall in love with me.
Just getting to know about me is fine.
We can't?
Okay. Here, if you would please.
Are you okay doing this until morning?
Oh, sure. You're awfully revved up about this.
Ah, I have my reasons for it.
What could it be, with such a big grin on your face?
- Ah, this should be everything, right? - Yes.
It's messy, but please come in.
Sorry for disturbing you.
Then, I'll give you a brief explanation.
If you would please.
As you can see by looking at this, you can tell how stocks are moving in real-time.
This is the list of shares I hold...
...and if any of them show any strong movements, then please wake me up.
"Stock List" Understood.
Because I'll put the key here, feel free to come and go as you please.
Yes.
If you're not sure about anything, please just wake me up.
- Good night. - Eh?
Ah. Good night.
That surprised me.
Wait...
...that's bad for my heart.
Huh? This looks so difficult somehow.
Hey...
(old man talk)
- Thank you very much! - Thank you very much!
What are they doing?
They're behaving like grade-school kids, aren't they?
Even lower than that.
Eh?
Good morning.
You've really cleaned this place up.
I'm sorry for doing this without permission.
Um... I was just bored, so...
Don't be sorry. Thank you very much.
I also cooked you a meal, so if you'd like, please eat it.
A meal?
It's not that big a deal though.
Whaa! It's Oyakodon. (Chicken and egg on rice)
I super love this stuff.
Thank goodness.
Ah. It's about time for me to go.
Ah. Hold on a minute.
Here's for what you did today.
I couldn't take this much.
No. After all, I told you 2,000 yen an hour, right?
Working from 9 till 3, that's 12,000 yen.
But I didn't do anything at all today.
Here.
For cleaning up my apartment and making me a meal...
I should pay you more just for that.
No...
- Ah. It's heavy, heavy. - Ah, you can't pass through here.
I'm sorry. Ah, wait, wait. Excuse me.
Please go home after you two have reconciled.
The atmosphere around the shop has gotten awful.
Wai...
What is it? Spit it out!
It's nothing.
Don't give me "nothing."
What is it, geez? It's about me goin' on that trip, ain't it?
Ah, I know.
- Yer burnin' up with jealousy, ain't ya? - Fool.
Then what is it?
Are you serious?
About what?
About that guy.
Are you seriously in love with him?
Yeah.
I see.
Then, go.
What's that about? Hold on. Ya make me feel like I'm cheating or somethin'.
Then don't go.
Even if you tell me not to go, I'm goin'.
Point is, you could regret this.
If you're seriously in love, then it's fine.
But you should understand if you aren't, you could regret it.
Sorry, but I won't regret it, now will I?
In that case, it's fine. So long; thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for your hard work!
Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Last Cinderella"
Episode 7: "Naughty Kiss"
This is nice, ain't it?
It is. This water's healing.
Thank goodness you're happy about this place.
Miki, you did know, didn't you? There was such a wonderful day-use package here.
I knew about this nearby aquarium when we moved into our home.
But during summer vacation, it's just packed with people.
I'd been thinking about coming here sometime during an off weekday.
My dream has come true at last.
What's more, coming using the money I earned myself is like a dream.
- Ah, Miki. - Huh?
Congrats on your job!
- Congratulations. - Thank you!
Ah, delicious!
- Thank you for waiting. - Thanks, thanks.
Still, I guess it is a great thing.
Earning money on your own.
Truth is, I felt inferior to the two of you.
Huh?
Ah, after all, you two are self-reliant, aren't you?
I think that's awesome.
You two aren't timid about anything...
...you live by yourselves...
...and I think it could be said you're successful at work because of your self-confidence.
I don't have any of that.
Still, I have a long ways to go in life.
I'd like to have your self-confidence myself some day.
You have my support.
Mine, too.
Thank you!
Ah, sorry about that. Even though this is a Girl's Meeting, I'm talking about serious things.
No, it's fine.
Well, even so, having a drink while wearing a swimsuit is the greatest.
If there was a bed around with a man in it, that'd make it perfect, though.
Shima-nee.
Well, speaking seriously now.
I guess when you say "living alone," isn't it just boring?
Although I got my money and my home myself...
...it's next to impossible to find happiness just by yourself.
I don't have the luxury to say this, but I want someone by my side who understands me.
I'm gonna grab some snacks.
I wonder if Shima-nee finally feels like finding that special someone?
I wonder if she's finally gotten over her previous marriage?
Maybe.
Ah, say, say, say. Would it be okay if I bought some souvenirs for my kids?
- And I want some octopus shortbread. - What's that? Let's go.
- Eh? What is it? - Let's take a look over here.
Where is it?
Tetsuro.
Shima.
It's been ages, hasn't it?
You're right.
Have you been well?
Yeah.
You seem well, too.
- Thankfully. - Papa!
Oh... Himari.
- Did you get a dolphin? - Yeah!
Then, shall we go see the real ones in the aquarium?
Yeah. All right!
Ah. Mama's come.
Mama! I was shopping by myself!
I've remarried. Four years ago now.
Congratulations. That's great, you have a child.
And you?
Are you happy?
I'm happy. I haven't remarried, but I'm enjoying myself in my own way.
I'm relieved to hear that.
So long; I gotta go.
Yeah.
Take care.
You, too.
Himari, come here.
Shima-nee?
Are you okay?
About what?
Here, let's buy our souvenirs and head on home.
- Ah, not over there. - Eh?
Ah, it's over here. The souvenirs are over here.
Ah, welcome.
- Alone? - Yeah.
- What'll you have? - Vodka, straight.
Ooh. Going for the strong stuff first, huh?
Here. Thanks for waiting.
Excuse me.
Ah, coming!
Onee-san.
Have you forgotten me?
Look, the one in the restroom the other day.
"Got a minute?"
Ah.
I've been wanting to see you all this time.
I just haven't been able to get that Onee-chan outta my head ever since.
How about it?
- Let's the four of us go somewhere else. - Stop joking.
Then, even just one-on-one.
You love it, don't you?
That.
What was that for?!
There's no way I'd go a second round with someone who's as piss-poor at it as you are, now would I?
And all your friends are terrible at it, too.
Come back again when you've gotten some experience.
What was that, ya bitch!
Isn't "bitch" a bit Showa era?
Ah, you're soaked, let me dry you down.
- Stop that! - Hurry!
- That hurts. - I can do it myself!
It's okay, I said. I just love wiping off people's faces.
Where are my clothes for the athletic meet?
Eh? Your happi coat? That's next week, isn't it?
Teacher said we should bring it in tomorrow.
No way?!
"Please - Concerning the Happi Coat and Headband for the Athletic Meet"
Ah, you're right.
What is it?
Well, um... I forgot to get the outfit Kakeru needs ready for his athletic meet.
See? When a mother is out working, these sorts of things will happen.
Saki-chan, I'll be out shopping for a little while.
I think the supermarket in front of the train station is still open.
Um, go and take your baths, then go on to bed. Okay?
I'll be out for just a bit.
For pete's sake, geez.
This is what I was telling her.
Ah, thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for yours.
Sakura-san, you're going on your trip tomorrow, aren't you?
That's right.
Please enjoy it in place of the employee trip you weren't able to go on.
Yeah. I'll buy some souvenirs.
Yeah. See ya.
Tomonari-kun...
...I've got a little favor to ask.
Ah. What is it?
Well...
- Ah, thanks for your hard work. - Good night.
- Ah, um... Um... - Huh?
What are you looking at?
Tomonari-kun gave this to me.
Take that and watch it at home. I have to go over the account books starting now.
If I watched this alone, I'd be a pervert!
ANYONE who was watching that would be a pervert, wouldn't they?
Now, now, now...
Wait, wait...
Don't worry about it, don't worry.
Here, here.
Now, now, now.
Here, here.
Give me a break. I can't work while those sounds are going on.
Here.
OK.
Where do you plug this in?
Right there.
Right here, huh?
What are you thinking?
Oh my God, that's amazing.
Ah, incredible! Whaa, incredible!
Eh?! I guess she would make that sound doing that, huh?
Whaa! Ah, wait.
Ah, don't do that! Ah, not there. Don't!
Ah, that's indecent. Indecent! Whaa, I guess they shouldn't do that!
- They shouldn't do that! - Shut up!
It's an adult video, so it's only natural they would, isn't it?
I guess...
...since I'm a little older, I just couldn't take the lead like that, huh?
Could it be you've been longing to watch an adult video?
- Yeah. - What a fool.
Since he seems far more experienced than you, it's best just to leave that up to him.
Really?
- Well, you might be an overly dead lay though. - A dead lay?
A woman who...
A woman?
What about a woman?
Never mind. I'm leaving.
- Hold on. What about a woman? - Check up on that yourself.
Hey, why won't you tell me...
I'm sorry.
Ah...
Good night.
"There comes a time when Women can suddenly see The opposite sex (null)"
I figured he might have remarried.
But...
...I never imagined he had a child.
Still with this, it's clear.
I guess I was the cause for us not having children.
My breaking up with him was the best solution for him, wasn't it?
What a laugh.
You're amazing, Shima-san.
Eh?
You congratulated him, didn't you?
I don't think there's many women who could behave like an adult the way you did.
Ah, let's drink today. I can stay with you till whatever hour.
Thank you.
Ah by the way, did you go to the hospital for your ED?
- I've made a appointment. - Really?
I couldn't get a reservation for my day off, but I'll definitely be going next month. Don't worry.
Yeah. All right.
Then, shall we make a toast? A toast.
- To what? - Eh?
To our friendship. Kanpai.
- Kanpai! - Not.
Ow. You hit my forehead with the glass.
- Yes. Kanpai, Kanpai, Kanpai. - Yes.
My forehead, my forehead. That's my forehead you're hitting.
Ah, excuse us.
Ah, found it.
Thank goodness.
Shima-san!
Sorry. I told you I wouldn't meet you any longer, but I never even deleted your phone number.
Me neither.
Let's really erase them this time around.
The next time we meet, be together with Miki.
Of course.
- Yeah. Then, let's go. - Yeah. Let's go, let's go.
- So long; Kanpai. - Ow.
- Not there, I said. - Kanpai!
- Welcome home. - Ah.
I'm home.
I used that duplicate key right away.
Ah. Ah...
Something wrong?
No. I just thought you'd be back later than I would, so I was a little surprised.
Are you hungry?
I'm starving.
- I'll make pasta. - Really?
Yeah. I'll make it, so hang on.
- Mom! - I'm home.
It's not Mom.
What's with the "it's not Mom"?
Are you disappointed it's your Father?
Ah. Miki-san...
...hasn't come back home yet.
Eh?!
About 7 she said she was going out shopping for something, but just how far did she go?
- To buy something? What was she buying? - Clothes for my athletic meet.
I think she went to buy some cloth material.
I think she said the supermarket in front of the train station would be open.
"You will be connected to the answering machine..."
Alright.
Um, I'll go and pick her up. Don't worry, 'cause it'll be okay. Right?
You guys go on to bed already. Mom, take care of them.
Yes, yes.
- Be careful, okay? - Yeah.
"Hiroto-kun, been waiting?" No, not that. It's wrong.
Ah, this one. This, this, this.
Ah, with this I can show off a shoulder.
"Ah, Hiroto-kun. How does this look? How do I look?" I can ask.
I think it's nice.
Whaa!? Ah, you saw that? What's that? So this is good, huh?
Say? You've got everything you're taking?
Yeah. This is what I'm taking. And then a towel, right?
And then a toothbrush and toothpaste.
That's right, an umbrella. Umbrella, umbrella. And then toothpaste.
Anyhow with an umbrella, we won't need a towel, will we?
But I definitely have to have a towel. After all, with this I can wipe away the sweat.
And besides, with this I can wipe up any spills I might make.
And besides, when the wind blows, I can just tie it off like this.
And that way I won't get cold.
Why are you laughing?
- Eh? Nothing really. - "Eh? Nothing really"?
Why are you laughing? Tell me.
Hey.
Why are you laughing? And naked?
I'm not really. It's nothing.
What?!
It's nothing, I'm sorry.
I just thought you had the feel of an old man there.
What's that?! For pete's sake.
That towel's in the way. Here. I'm taking it.
I'm sorry. I won't say it anymore. I won't say it anymore. Please forgive me.
Yes, hello?
Ah, is this Sakura-san?
Um, this is Takenouchi. Miki's husband.
Ah, hello.
Um, have you had any contact from Miki?
No. Nothing at all. What's happened with Miki?
Um, she went out to buy something, but she hasn't come back.
Eh?!
Well, um... If she hasn't contacted you, that's fine. I'll try to come up with some ideas.
Sorry for bothering you like this. I'm sorry.
Ah, hello? Hello!
Hello?
She hasn't contacted you?
I'm sure she must have seen us.
What'll we do if something happens to Miki?
- This is my fault. - Thinking about that now won't do us any good.
Anyhow, let's search every nook and cranny for her.
Will you be okay alone out here?
Please wait. I have to go back up right away.
Yes, thanks for waiting.
I'm getting a chance.
For what?
- Ken-chan. - Huh? Ah, welcome.
- Has Miki come by? - She hasn't. Something the matter?
She's gone missing.
Eh?!
Geez. She went out shopping but didn't come back home.
She won't pick up the phone and her husband's worried sick and is already out looking for her.
If you hear from Miki, contact me right away.
- Yeah. All right. - Please do.
- Sakura. - Shima-nee.
Ala? Takenouchi-san?
Hello.
You two are together again, huh?
Eh?
Well...
Hold on.
Then Miki-san's husband is Takenouchi-san?
Could it be Miki going missing is connected to you two?
Hey Shima-nee, didn't I tell you not to do anything like this?
- Sakura, you're wrong. - What am I wrong about?!
Stop it.
- Don't get between us. - Never mind; just stop.
I'll go look for her one more time.
I'm sorry for having troubled you.
Shima-nee...
Why did you stop me?
You still don't know what the truth is, do you?
You cornering her without knowing the truth could end up making the situation irreparable.
For now, let's think about other places where Miki-san could have gone to. Right?
Ah, I know. I'll bring in some coffee.
- She's not picking up? - She ain't.
- Why don't you try calling her home again? - Again?
- It might be she's gone back there. - Yeah, that's true.
"There are things Where once you lose them You can never get them back (:-()"
Such a sad expression.
Has something happened?
It might get a little easier for you if you talked about it.
I saw my husband...
...with another woman.
That must have been a shock.
If the other woman had been a stranger to me...
...I don't think I would have been quite as shocked, but...
...she's a friend...
...of mine.
Eh?
Then you mean your husband and your friend are having an affair?
Even I don't want to believe that...
...but however I think about it, it doesn't make sense for the two of them to be together.
I wonder just how long this has been going on?
I see.
It's because I told him to go to Shima-san's place.
It was me. I gave them both the opportunity.
Wait! What are you doing?!
Sorry.
You were just so pretty.
Next week, Muller Pharmaceutical will be announcing a new cancer drug.
Muller Pharmaceutical stocks are sure to jump at the same time as the announcement.
So, Miki-san...
Even just 1 or 2 million yen would be fine...
...but would you like to invest?
Eh?
I thought this might be a time to tell you about something good.
I wanted to cheer you up, Miki-san.
By the start of next week, you'll have doubled your money.
How about it?
All right.
I'll go out for it now.
Really?!
After the divorce, I'll need the money.
There may not be any hope of talking this out now.
Is there a convenience store nearby?
Yeah. I'll show you the way.
I'll be fine by myself.
I'll go right away.
Sakura-san.
Huh?
You washed that a little while ago.
Ah...
Want to postpone our trip?
Well, right now's a little...
I'm sorry. I guess I'll go look for her for a while.
Miki!
Hey you, what have you been doing?
We've been worried about you, for pete's sake, geez.
She was down at the foot of the apartment complex.
Anyhow, she'll catch a cold like this.
That's true.
Here, come inside.
- I'm sorry. - For pete's sake, you're cold.
Ah, thanks Tachibana.
Come in. For pete's sake, you'll catch cold.
- Then, I'll go. - Ah, yeah.
- Sorry. - Don't worry.
We'll have another opportunity.
Thank you.
Miki, come on.
Thank you very much.
For accepting Chiyoko.
It's only to have meals and to talk from time to time though.
Even so, that'll be a huge step forward for Chiyoko.
She's had a crush on you all this time, after all.
Do you love her, too?
Huh?
Are you...
...in love with Sakura?
If that's the case, what will you say to her?
Will you step aside?
Like I said, I'm not really...
Anyhow, please take care of Chiyoko.
So long.
Really?! Thank goodness.
Then I'll come pick her up right away.
Ah, for now I think she should spend the night here at my place.
Um... would that be okay?
Ah, of course.
And because Miki is so extremely, extremely worried about your children...
...please let me earnestly assure you...
...I will over there very first thing tomorrow morning.
Ah, all right. So long; thank you.
- Please take care of her. - Yes. Excuse me.
And then?
Where did you go?
To that Host Club.
Eh?!
I wanted to have a little more of my money ripped off by the Hosts there.
Why would you go to such a place?
I told you I had gotten a job as a clerk for a real estate agent, right?
Yeah.
That... was a lie.
Um, truth is, one of the boys we got to know at the Host Club we went to the other day...
...personally hired me.
What I mean is that I got fooled by him.
Wait you. Why did you lie like that?
If I had told you, you would have stopped me, right?
Of course I would!
When I think about it...
...there's no way anyone would hire a housewife with no qualifications or experience...
...for 2,000 yen an hour, now is there?
When I found out I was being tricked again...
...I was surprised at just how excessively stupid I am.
I wondered if I shouldn't just go somewhere far away at this rate.
Then I got worried about...
...the children.
I...
...really don't have any saving graces...
I'm just a foolish, incompetent woman.
Wait...
What are you saying, geez.
It's only natural...
...that such a woman would be cheated on, isn't it?
It's a wonder it hasn't happened up until now.
I wonder if my kids will be okay?
Since it's rare for me not to be around the house...
...they'll notice how strange it is right away, right?
I only wanted to avoid doing something that would drag the kids into it.
I'd hate it for those kids...
...to feel sad.
It's gonna be okay now.
Yes, here. Remember to take it.
Your Mom's at my place, but she's in super-good health.
She'll feel relieved that Kakeru-kun went to his grade school.
- Yeah. - Right?
Then let's put this in your school bag.
Thank you for going out of your way to bring that.
No. Nothing of the sort. Then, I'll be going. Excuse me.
Um... What has Miki said?
Ah. She hasn't calmed down quite enough yet to talk about it.
Is that right.
For now, until she's calmed down, she can stay at my place.
Um, I think you'll have all kinds of trouble...
...but please hang in there.
- Sorry for troubling you. - No, not at all.
- So long; excuse me. - Yes.
- Thank you for today. - Yes.
For now, she'll be staying over at my place.
I see. Anyhow, I'm glad she wasn't hurt.
Thank you very much.
There's nothing to thank me for.
What are you saying?
- And now, about what happened the other day... - Welcome. Good afternoon.
- Ah, Choko-chan, welcome. - Choko-chan.
- Coloring your hair today, right? - Yes.
Take this. Come in.
Come in.
Welcome. Good afternoon.
- Ah, welcome! - Welcome!
Excuse me...
Tachibana-kun. It's been awhile.
