She has a truly clear heart.
This is the first time I've felt this way for someone.
Please break up with me.
I'll give up gracefully. Find happiness with Sakura-san.
Eh?
If I started seeing someone from here on...
...it'd be best if it was someone I could be married to for the rest of my life.
It'd be limited to a partner who I wouldn't get tired of being together with.
- Ow, ow, ow! - Dad?!
Ow, ow, ow!
Miki's husband was just taken away in an ambulance.
- Mom! - Kakeru. Saki-chan.
I'm sorry for leaving you feeling hopeless.
Um... And how is Kohei-san doing?
He's in surgery right now.
Eh? What's he ill from?
Appendicitis.
Appendicitis?
His appendix?
That's right, huh?
What the...
Seems he's endured it for quite some time now.
That's why they had to rush him into surgery.
I'm sorry. Um... I've done nothing but just space out.
Since it's already late, I'll stay after this.
Mother-in-law, please take the kids home first and get some rest.
No way! I'm staying here.
Me, too.
All right. Then, let's wait together.
Still, thank goodness it's just an appendicitis.
I guess. But he's still in surgery. For now, having that go safely is what's best.
- Beers, right? - If you would please.
Shima-nee.
At the time I first met him...
...truth is, I thought he was cute.
But, once I found out he was Miki's husband, those feelings vanished completely.
Still...
...going on meeting him while keeping it a secret from Miki was a mistake.
Yeah.
When I think about it...
...there isn't a single one of my male friends I went out with I didn't have a sexual relationship with.
When I was young, it was difficult to build relationships like those...
...but at my age...
...it's best just to have one or two male friends.
That's true.
Sakura, you're fine. You have Tachibana-san, after all.
Ala?
That guy ain't no "friend."
He's a terrific friend, isn't he?
You've been friends with him a long time already, and probably will be the rest of your life.
I envy you.
Thank you very much for this.
How's Takeuchi-san?
He had an appendicitis. But the surgery was a success.
- I see. - What? What is it?
- Hey. Let's eat this together. - I'm not hungry.
- Ah, I see. Then here, take this. - Don't want it.
What's going on? There's no way ya'd ever turn down a drink. Are ya sick or somethin'?
- Let me feel yer head. - Be quiet. Anyhow, I'm sleeping in today.
What's this about sleeping in? Weirdo.
I don't want it, I said. Go that back to your home and eat it.
Huh?
Well, so ya say. Let me barge in fer awhile.
After all the trouble I went through, he turns cold.
What a waste.
Welcome back.
What? You've come?
I'm really sorry. Even though you went to all the trouble of making time for me at that interview.
Do you think you'll be a fit member of society like this?!
Just as I thought, you're a good-for-nothing, through and through.
Did you even feel like getting a job in the first place?
You did this on purpose just to humiliate me, didn't you!?
I don't want to see your face anymore.
Get out of my house!
Get me a drink.
Yes.
Ahh... it's done.
Ready, ready... Ow, ow, ow...
That's hot!
That hurt.
Before that...
Ah, hello? Hiroto-kun, what are ya up to?
Ah, right. Yer in the middle of practice, ain't ya? The National Tournament's almost here, right?
Ah, yes, yes. Did ya see my e-mail?
That's right, he had an appendicitis.
Huh? Me? Me... Ala.
Right now I'm... Wait, wait... Hold on a minute.
Right now it's a little...
Whaa!
Hey, ya surprised me there!
You've been eating pizza?
Yeah...
I'll brush my teeth.
What's the matter?
Wait, wait...
Hiroto-kun? What it is? Wait...
I think this is my first time.
That I don't want to go to work.
I'll be waiting for you.
Huh?
Is it okay if I do that here?
Of course.
Do your best at work.
Yes.
I'm going.
"Which should I pick? Work or love Love, of course"
Not my ear.
- Be careful. - Yeah.
So long; I'm going...
- So long. - Yeah.
Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Last Cinderella"
Episode 9: "I Love You"
Here. A get-well gift.
What could it be?
A hand-made cheesecake!
- Ah, looks good! - Right?
But right now I, um... In the middle of fasting.
Eh?
I'll take charge of this.
But, um... I think my kids'll happily eat that. When Miki comes, I'll have her take it home.
Thank you very much.
Have you and your wife reconciled?
Well, not yet.
Reconcile with her properly. Next time you come for drinks, come as a couple.
Yes.
Then, should we do that?
"That"?
The serotonin exercises.
- Why? - I told you, didn't I?
When serotonin is secreted, it helps keep your mind and body in balance.
When you don't have enough serotonin, it can cause married couples to pass one another.
Is there that kind of connection?
Okay, line up, line up. Here goes.
Yes! A, I, U, E, O! A, I, U, E, O! A...
- Ow, ow, ow... - Are you okay?
- Yes, Takeuchi-san. Please lie down. - It really hurts. It does. Ow, ow.
Hiroto.
'Bout what we talked about before. My Senpai who's active at this over in America.
Yeah
He's always sayin' to come out there while yer young to have matches 'cause it's hopeless otherwise.
He says if I come live in America, he'll get me in a tournament.
Ehh... Sounds great.
Come with us, too.
Eh?
My friend was saying after you won that District Meet championship...
...that I should bring you along, too.
That's awesome and I'm grateful...
...but it's a bit impossible for me.
Why? Yer dream's to be a major BMX player, right?
I love bikes, but I need to work and make money right now.
Sorry.
What is this? Are ya gettin' married?
Diabetes!?
Ah but, it doesn't seem to be serious.
They said it was good they found it this time around.
Right? Isn't it?
Ala? Isn't it?
Ala? It... is, isn't it?
- Miki-san! - Yes?
You're with him every day...
...so don't you feel ashamed as his wife for not noticing your husband's illness before the hospital did?
Wait... Hold on...
When they say "diabetes," that's caused by his daily eating habits, right?
At at time when your husband is having it tough at work...
...you taking on a part-time job caused you to neglect your family or this wouldn't have happened!
That's enough, Mom!
She's...
...been making meals every day for the family.
Not once has she ever brought in supermarket-made dinners or side dishes.
Just how many daughters-in-laws like her do you think there are in this world nowadays?
I'm happy with her.
If you still want to criticize her...
...then, even if you are my Mom, I can't let you stay you in our house.
Just get out.
Ko-chan...
Very well.
- Mother-in-law... - Leave her be!
- You went a little too far there. - It's okay.
More importantly...
I haven't apologized properly to you yet.
That's okay.
There's a lot of things I haven't properly told you about either, Ko-chan.
Like what? Has something happened?
About that, um, look... We'll have a long talk about it once you've left the hospital.
Truth is...
...I have ED.
Eh?
Um... I spoke to the doctor and he said that sort of thing is a symptom of diabetes.
It is?
I think it would have been better if I had gotten myself to the hospital a lot sooner.
You should have discussed this with me.
There's no way I could have done that, right? Not with my wife. That'd be pathetic.
That's true.
Then, I'll be going. I'll stop Mother-in-law.
Eh?
If Kakeru were to say something like that to me in the future...
...I think I'd be hugely depressed.
After all, you weren't serious when you told her that, now were you, Ko-chan?
So long.
Welcome back, my son!
Where have you been off to until now, geez! Welcome back!
That's great, isn't it?
Thank you very much.
I'm home.
- Welcome home. - Welcome back.
- You just give priority to your wife's temper! - Grandma's...
I know that now!
- What's going on? - I won't ask you anymore!
Wait...
Mother-in-law?
What a pathetic feeling.
Whichever of my two sons I go to...
...I end up getting in their way.
Are you going back to Saitama?
Who would want to go back there?!
At this rate, it'd be better for me...
...just to go on a trip and die like a dog somewhere.
Mother-in-law!
In that case...
...please just stay here.
Eh?
You could say one of my weak points is being self-conscious around you, Mother-in-law...
...so all I was thinking about was how I could get away from you.
Still, when I consider whether Mother-in-law could be a person I could come to like...
...that's likely completely impossible...
...but there just might be some slightly congenial place we could come to.
Couldn't we mutually find that place?
Miki-san.
Please don't run away once you come to know the real me.
No. For pete's sake.
Geez, Miki-san...
Mother-in-law.
Thank you.
When does yer husband get outta the hospital?
Tomorrow.
Whoa, that's fast. That's great, isn't it?
It's only diabetes, after all.
I went to the hospital earlier to give him this to eat...
...and he told me that my cooking was the world's most delicious food.
- He's a fool, isn't he? - Well then, thank ya very much fer the treat.
I wasn't speaking fondly of him.
That was speaking fondly of him.
You're wrong!
It's great ya've reconciled, ain't it? Geez, for pete's sake.
Yes! Come in!
Sorry for being late.
It's okay. Miki's come here too, so it's fine.
Yes, come in. Come in, come in, come in...
- Kanpai! - Kanpai!
- That's delicious. - It is, isn't it?
So good.
Now, let's have this delicious meal.
- Yes, itadakimasu. - Eat up.
And? What have you prepared for us, Sakura?
Ah, me?
- This, this. - Hmm?
- Takoyaki, takoyaki. (octopus dumplings) - Whaa! It's takoyaki!
I thought that was what the sauce I smelled was. It was so good.
Eat it while it's still warm. Here, eat up, eat up.
- Itadakimasu! - Itadakimasu!
- Go ahead, go ahead. Takoyaki-mambo, mambo. - It's takoyaki.
- It's good! - Since when has takoyaki been this good?
- Right? - You're right.
Spicy!
- Whaa! - Spicy!
- So hot!
Water! Water, water, water!
Here you go.
Hey! What what's been put into these?!
It's mustard, mustard. And it had a ton of it put in, right?
Fool!
So funny! You nailed it! That's what they call Russian Roulette takoyaki.
Tell us such things beforehand!
That's right. When you told us, I thought it was just ordinary takoyaki.
Thing is, why did you put two of those in there? Wouldn't you just put one in as a joke?
But all of these have that in them.
- Huh?! - Huh?!
But in these...
...only one has that put in it, so rest assured and eat up. Don't worry.
Maybe YOU can rest assured.
Ah, that was a laugh. That was crazy funny.
So spicy. I can still taste some of it.
There really is, geez.
- That's hot, hot. - It's delicious.
Is it delicious? That's great, that's great.
Huh?
No way.
You got the one that has it?
- Spicy. - You're kidding, right?
It's spicy.
What a fool!
- You got the only one there was?! - How funny; the prankster caught in her own trap.
That's an incredible probability. You only had a one in nine chance, after all.
That's incredible.
Fool.
She's foolish. Leave her alone. Let's drink, Shima-san.
- Kanpai. - Kanpai.
Say, listen to this.
My mother-in-law is saying...
...if we're going to be living together in earnest, we need a new futon.
Eh? She's been turning that down up until now. That's cute of her, isn't it?
It isn't cute! Not at all!
It is adorable.
- It's not adorable in the least. - It isn't adorable?
- That's right. - A purple mesh one maybe...
Hello. Excuse me.
- Wait, wait, wait! Geez... - Watch out there.
Yes, yes, here, here, here... Here, have some.
- Yes. Thank you very much. - Here.
"Before we knew it We had been living together For a quarter of a century (deep emotion)"
Welcome.
- Sorry. - I'm sorry.
Ala? It's you. Sakura-san's boyfriend, right?
Um... Miki-san's husband, right?
Hello, hello, hello.
Ala? It's a coincidence us meeting in a place like this, isn't it?
It is.
Could it be... You're gonna propose to her?
Eh?
Well, um... I just wanted to see how much things like this cost.
- Ah, is that right? - Yes.
Um... Could I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
Why did you and your wife think about getting married?
Ah, that was simply because we wanted to live together for the rest of our lives.
Or something like that.
More importantly, what do you think of this?
It's this one. I think it's a little heavy though.
That's cute, isn't it?
Isn't it? Right?
I guess this is a good one. I can also manage this price if I work hard.
What's the matter?
You're spacing out.
Ken-chan.
When did you become aware of it?
Of what?
That I'm...
...in love with Kin.
Rintaro.
To be honest, I'm confused. I wasn't aware of it myself at all.
But everyone's been telling me that.
Choko-chan, too. Look, even you, Ken-chan.
Kin's boyfriend, too. Kasumi told me, as well.
And every time, I'd deny it with a "no way"...
...but this time around, I'm the one who can't deny it to myself.
By doing that, weren't you just pretending your feelings weren't there?
Seems to me that things like that...
...look, they don't just divide themselves into black or white.
For me...
...just her being happy is fine.
Well, she does seem to shine though.
Look, Kin's a good-natured fool of a person.
Could she be called "too pure" or "way too honest"?
I just don't want to see a guy like her get hurt.
Yes.
That's what it is.
When I see her there at my side, I worry about her, no matter what.
And then, unconsciously, I find myself meddling far too much and getting jealous.
You could say Sakura-chan hasn't reached a point where she's become aware of you yet, Rintaro.
So in the end, maybe you two are birds of a feather?
Now, eat up, eat up.
Is coffee okay?
Yes.
I'm very sorry about the other day.
The other day?
What I said at SOBAR to Kazumi-san.
Ah...
That's okay already. It's over, after all.
Then, you and Kasumi-san are...
Yeah.
Thank goodness.
Choko-chan.
Please look.
This is the mark of a burn I suffered when I was little.
Because of this wound, I haven't been in love all this time.
Many years ago, my father searched for a hospital that would operate on it.
Even though they said they could make the wound less conspicuous...
...I turned it down.
It was at that time I was rejected by the person I liked.
I thought the reason I was rejected was because of this wound.
Whenever he would look at this wound, I remember feeling a sense of guilt.
I didn't dare to completely cure this wound.
But...
...right after that I met you, Rintaro-san.
If I was going to love you this much, it would have been better if I had cured this.
Choko-chan.
I understand.
Please hold me.
Even just this once is fine.
Please make me a woman.
I'm sorry.
- I can't do this. - Why?
- Does this wound make me that ugly? - You're wrong!
That wound doesn't make you ugly.
Rather...
...what I'm anxious about...
...is the wound in your heart caused by you being far too worried about that wound.
Choko-chan...
...you're delicate...
...and are strongly sensitive.
You're a wonderful girl who's more considerate than most.
Have more confidence in yourself.
And in this wound, too.
If there's a man who comes to love you, Choko-chan...
...they won't care in the least about that.
I'm sure you'll...
...meet such a man someday.
I understand.
The point is...
...you're saying this is too heavy a thing for you, isn't it?
- Choko-chan. - Just this once was fine.
In that case, I'll...
...feel okay about never being in love again my entire life.
When I first saw this I was really afraid, but I wonder what I could call it these days?
It must be the skills you have. You give off this comfortable feel somehow.
- Yes, here you go. - Thank you.
It does feel good. Look Sakura-san, you give it a try, too.
No way, no way, I can't. After all, I get totally scared even just riding an ordinary bike, geez.
I can't jump on one; can't jump.
- It's okay if you don't want to make any jumps. - Really?
It's okay, it's okay.
That's 'cause you've been riding since long ago.
Well, you ride a bike a great deal... Here goes...
- Sakura-san! - Yes?
If I win the National Tournament that's coming up!
Yes?
Will you marry me?
If I win the championship, I'll make bikes my hobby and get a job.
I think I'll bring you troubles at first, but I'll work seriously.
Thank you.
I'm incredibly happy.
But I'll be 40 soon.
I understand that.
Ya don't understand.
And anyhow, I don't want ya givin' up on yer dream for my sake.
- That's why... - I...
...want children who are just like Sakura-san.
Pure, genuine, adorable children.
And, if Sakura-san and I pour all kinds of love into them...
...that will be different from what I experienced.
I want them to spend their childhood in happiness.
Moreover, I need you, Sakura-san!
Make my dream...
...come true.
Please!
Yes.
I did it.
Ah, I did it!
My heart is beating so fast!
I think I'm gonna die.
Good morning.
Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
So long.
- Yeah. Work hard. - Yeah.
- I'm going. - Have a nice day.
Good morning!
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Thank you very much.
Sakura-san.
Could it be your boyfriend brought you here?
Yeah, I guess.
- I'm so envious. - I'm so envious.
What's all this "love-love" feeling about?
"What's it all about" you ask... Ala?!
Ala?
- Ala?! - Hey! Is that?!
- No way! - Could it be that's...?
- A wedding ring?! - A wedding ring?!
No way!
It's so dazzling!
Did something happen between you and Chiyoko yesterday?
Because I got a ton of calls and e-mails from her.
I told her honestly that I wouldn't go out with her.
I didn't want to hurt her...
...but unlike someone else with impure motives, I don't think I could ever make her happy.
Impure motives?
I wholeheartedly want to protect Sakura-san...
...and so I think my motives are pure instead.
If Choko-chan knew that, she'd be hurt, right?
And even Sakura.
I will protect Sakura-san.
Because...
...we will get married.
Please be just as clear about giving up on Sakura-san as well.
So long.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
There. That should do it.
Are you going to spend your birthday with your boyfriend?
Yeah. He seems to be thinking up all sorts of things for me.
That's why after I finish here, we have an date to meet at SOBAR.
- Eh?! - Eh?!
- I'm envious. - I'm so envious.
Although I had a great resistance to becoming 40 until just a little while ago...
...I don't hate it all that much now.
Well, of course. Because you've got such a wonderful boyfriend, right?
It ain't only that.
I've started thinkin' recently that growin' old ain't all that bad.
As is, I've noticed my experience levels have increased...
...and I've gained self-confidence as well.
Compared with my youth, when I was troubled and at a loss...
...I'm far, far more comfortable with my life.
That's why I'm greeting this 40th birthday of mine with pride.
As long as I'm steady...
...and go in the direction I believe in...
... then there won't be anything for me to be ashamed of, whatever my age is.
Rather, I think I could do so without apology.
Or something like that. Ala? You're there?
Hey, get to work, to work.
Oi, get to work. Oi, go back to work. Whoa, what's with you?
What on earth is it, suddenly appearing like that?
I'm that young boy's advocate from earlier.
Eh? "Young boy's advocate"? Just what era is that from?
My mistake. This middle-aged woman's advocate.
What's that? After all, you'll be 40 here soon. And yer belly's stickin' out.
C'mon, let's go to our meeting. Our meeting.
- Yes, let's do that. - Line up.
Wait, wait, wait...
Fart over here, poo! Fart over there, poo!
Oi, Kin.
- Then, let's start. - Yes!
"Of the things I love And what I can do at this age The percentage is on love"
"Reserved starting at 8pm today"
- Yes. I'll put this in. - What, what is it? What, what, what?
I didn't think liquor was a good idea for a bar, but...
Champagne!
Here! I wasn't sure about this, though.
So cute! Is this something you baked, Miki-chan?
My daughter and I together. Look.
A child who can bake this.
I'm sure she'll make a great daughter-in-law in the future, just like you, Miki-chan.
- Not yet. - Sorry for not baking anything.
Shima-chan, you're fine. After all Shima-chan, you're in the set as those people, right?
Which set is that?
The same set I'm in...
The one with those who spend our lives wandering about in search of love.
Stop it with the jokes.
Because I'd absolutely hate spending my life wandering in search of love.
Ah, yes, yes. I've decided to have an omiai.
- Eh?! - Shima-san, is that true?
Yeah. I recruited for one off of Facebook.
But then one came, and then others. There's lots of people without partners out there.
Since it'd be a pain to squeeze them into my schedule, I've decided to meet them all at once.
- Ken-chan, let me use your restaurant. - Ah, sure.
But, ahh... I thought Shima-san was one of our set.
It'd be great if you found a good man, huh?
Yeah.
Happy Birthday to me.
Could you do it?
- Me? - Yes.
- Can't be helped. - Thank you.
- Happy Birthday to me. - Kin.
- Sorry, but do this. - Huh? Why?
The printer's broken.
If this doesn't get mailed out by tomorrow, it won't make it in time for next week's campaign, right?
Write in all the addresses and send them out.
Hold on there! But today's my birthday, ain't it?
Ya don't go givin' overtime to a person on their birthday, now do ya?
And so?
"And so"?
'Cause I've got a date with my boyfriend.
Don't worry. If he loves you, you can ask him to wait patiently for you. So long; countin' on ya.
It ain't, "So long; countin' on ya."
Wait! Hey, help me with these. There's way too many of these damn things.
I have business at the head office. So long; thanks for your hard work.
Hold on there. There's so many of them.
- Thanks for your hard work. - Good night.
Hey, Non-chan!
- Yes, what is it? - All this...
I'm sorry. Um, my Mom is coming out from my parent's home today.
I'm very sorry.
Ah. Well, ya can't not go home for that.
- Ah... Haru-chan. - I'm sorry.
I'm meeting my best friend from high school that I haven't seen in over a year.
Well, ya cant not go for that.
Sorry! My head hurts already! My head! Sorry!
- Ah, you guys... - Ah, hello? Is that you?
What's with all of them?
Sakura-san might get angry.
Can't be helped, can it? It's part of the strategy, after all.
Thing is, why do I have to put in overtime on my birthday? I shouldn't have to do this.
Geez, this is really impossible.
President.
A transfer request?
I'm very sorry for the suddenness of this...
...but please transfer me to another store.
What's this about out of blue?
I'm sorry for speaking selfishly.
It's just that it's about time to entrust her with the store.
"Today's Bossy Person"
Wait, wait, wait... That recorder is so noisy!
Thanks for your hard work.
- Thanks for yours. - Thanks for your hard work.
- This is something else here. - Ah, geez.
It's perfect, isn't it?
Say, say. What time will Sakura be coming?
It should be about time for her to be here, shouldn't it?
Then shall we drink for now?
That's right. Then everyone come up for a beer!
Yeah!
Say, say, Ken-chan, Ken-chan. About what we were talking about earlier.
- About your omiai? - Shima-san, are you having an omiai?
That's right. It's a group omiai.
Huh?
Because it'd be a pain to do it so many times, I thought we could all meet at once.
And, would it be okay for this store to close on holiday for 30 people?
- Eh?! 30 people?! - Wait, you want that many?
Ehh... 30 people coming.
And all men...
Ken-chan, Ken-chan. Say, can you be a judge?
I'll do it! I'll do it!
Speaking of which, since Shima-san and Ken-chan get along so well together...
...why don't the two of you go out together? RIght?
- Eh? - Eh?
Eh? Did I say something strange?
Tachibana-san.
Ken-chan is gay.
Pulling my leg again, Shima-san. You say the funniest things, don't you?
No way, Tachibana-san.
You really didn't know?
Eh?
You're childhood friends, aren't you? Ordinarily you should have realized that, right?
Isn't he a little slow?
It's just about right that Rintaro is just a little slow.
Good evening.
- Ah, they've come, they've come. - Welcome.
Um, sorry about all the things that happened the other day. It's been on my mind.
Not at all.
It's great you've been discharged from the hospital.
Thank you very much.
With this, all members of the party are present, right?
That's right. All that's left is for us to wait for Sakura to come, right?
Then, then! Rintaro, over here. And then, Miki-chan and the others over there, over there.
And then, Hiroto-kun, Hiroto-kun...
Um, excuse me. Excuse me!
Before that, could I have a moment?
What is it?
Miki.
I'm...
...very sorry about all that's happened recently.
Wait, why are you saying such a thing?
We've been married for 13 years.
Though we met 20 years ago, I still haven't proposed to you, have I?
Ever since I met you 20 years ago...
...you're the only one I've looked at that entire time.
Both back then and now and from here on, it'll always be you.
Always only you.
I think I'll give you hard times from here on...
...but I want you to trust me...
...and come along with me.
Ah...
Why won't you come out?
Please...
...marry me once again.
Don't you have it reversed?
It's reversed, it's reversed.
Please marry me.
- Fool! - Ow.
I already have married you.
That's why it's once again. Right?
Say, how much did this cost?
You don't have to ask about that right now.
- It's incredibly pretty. - Here.
Thank you.
Does that mean... OK?
That's obvious, isn't it?
All right!
- Let me see it. - Incredible!
There!
Ahh... Finished.
My shoulders are so stiff.
Ah, that's right. Gotta go, gotta go. Let's hurry up.
Whaa!
What's the matter, Choko-chan?
I came to talk to you.
What... about?
No matter how you look at it, she's late, isn't she?
Right? I'm getting sleepy already.
- You've had too much to drink. - But...
Rintaro.
Just how much overtime did you order her to put in?
I didn't think it would take this much time.
I'll go take a quick look.
Ah, she's come! She's come, she's come!
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Surprise!
Happy Birthday!
Five, six, one, two!
Gozen zero ji o sugi tara Since it's after midnight
Ichiban ni todokeyou This is the best time to tell you
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Sakura-chan?
What's the matter, Sakura? Are you frozen at being overly-surprised?
Oi. What's the matter?
Sakura-san?
Is it true?
Eh?
Is it true...
...you were pretending...
...that you liked me?
That day.
That day of the go-kon.
Choko-chan told you...
...to get close to me?
Though you didn't like me at all...
...for Choko-chan's sake...
...did you go to that hotel...
...and pretend that you liked me?
Hiroto-kun.
Answer me.
- Sakura! - Sakura!
I told you not to go and expose that, didn't I?!
Are you okay, Rintaro?!
You're a total bastard.
It has nothing to do with you, now does it?
This is a problem between me and Sakura-san.
It does have to do with me.
It's completely connected to me!
