I want to cancel this marriage talk.
Make Tsukushi happy for me, too.
Shigeru!
Shigeru...You better come to my house again.
After all, Shigeru finally accepted us..
There's nothing you should fear anymore.
Yeah.
Eh?
I knew...
it was all about this.
What?
You came to see her off too?
I guess you do act like a human sometimes.
Tsukasa...
Come to my office at the headquarters tomorrow.
If you have stuff to say, say it right here!
That's a business order.
Um... I have something to talk to you about too...
Tomorrow...
Come see me as the next president of the Doumyouji Corporation.
What were you guys doing?
So much for Shigeru's sacrifice.
Couldn't you two have acted more cautiously?
So she found out!
There's nothing we can do about that now.
Is that so? She found out, huh?
Yes.
Do you regret it?
I'm scared, but I have no regrets
Good. That's what I expected from you.
But I don't think I can stay here anymore...
Don't worry. Mistress has called and said she won't be coming back today.
Yes.
What about the fact that Makino's living there?
Not yet.
But she assumed you two were going out, right?
Probably.
It happened the moment...
I held her hand.
Now's not the time to be happy that you held hands.
I'm not!
Besides, who gets excited over holding hands anyway?
So, you were excited, huh?
Do you realize the situation you're in right now?
Huh?
She's probably furious like never before.
Maybe she'll do something on a whole new level of evil.
But... it's an obstacle you'd have to overcome sooner or later.
Eh?
For you and Makino
your mom is an obstacle.
It's too late to run or hide anyways.
I'm gonna go fight!
Now then, take care of yourself until the graduation ceremony. Farewell.
Farewell.
The truth was, Shigeru-san gave up for Makino Tsukushi's sake, didn't she?
Or did the two of you force her to do so?
So what if it's true?
I've had enough of that attitude!
Tsukki~
Huh?
Naturally you'll be coming to the prom with Doumyouji-san, won't you?
Prom?
You know, the dance party after the graduation ceremony.
Oh, that.
I want to dance with Nishikado-san!
I want to dance with Hanazawa Rui-san!
I want to dance with Mimasaka-san!
...So?
Will you ask them for us?
If they get asked from Doumyouji-san's girlfriend won't they more likely to say yes?
But...
I guess.
Are you serious about her?
I am.
I don't care about any woman but Makino.
Are those...
the words from the mouth of the next president?
Our merge with Ookawahara Corporation hasn't actually been called off, right?
If you really do care about the company like you say
then instead of intruding in my love life
won't you be more productive by going back to New York?
I guess I'll be saying good-bye to this place too.
I wonder how Doumyouji is doing right now...
Don't give up!!
Doumyouji!!
He'll be fine.
...Hanazawa Rui
At this point, all you can do is trust him.
I know, but...
Come on... don't make that face.
Eh?
All I ask is that
you keep smiling.
Hanazawa Rui.
Otherwise, how can I give you up completely?
Okay.
I'm going to build a new Doumyouji Corporation myself
with Makino.
And
I'll bring happiness to...
everyone under our corporation.
I know he has his problems, but I believe he has gotten more responsible over the years.
I know they say a dog will bite the hand of its master
but I never imagined
that'll happen to me.
How'd it go?
I dunno.
You don't know? Then aren't you worried? About being seen with me?
Maybe we're being watched.
Are you serious?
But now that we can finally see each other like this
it's annoying to have to do it in secret right?
I wonder if... we'll cause trouble for others like we did before.
As evil as she might be, she's still my mother.
She'll understand eventually.
It might take a while though.
Yeah.
Moreover, no one's got a reason to give us the back finger anymore.
The back finger? When does that ever happen?
Oh, was it to stab the hair on the back of our heads?
You pull the hair on the back of our heads.
No! It'll hurt if someone pulls your hair.
I don't know why you're so excited in the first place!
Anyways, I just...
want to treasure the time I can spend with you.
The light is green.
Let's go!
Hey! Wait!
Hey!
Ow! That hurt!
What is this? It's so good!
You really get excited over food, don't you?
But it's really good!
No one around me eats food as excitedly as you do.
If you eat at such a long table
you won't even be able to see the other person's face!
The best meal is when everyone crowds around a hotpot.
Sitting close enough to get covered in steam.
The food at your place doesn't match my taste.
Well, excuse me if it didn't match your extra sensitive taste buds.
But that might be good for a change.
Eh?
If I was eating with just you.
I... guess you took the bait.
Then do you want to come to my house for hotpot next time?
No thanks.
What the heck?
Just kidding.
Invite me.
Fine.
I'll invite you.
It's a promise.
Okay.
But what's his mom planning in general?
Who knows.
Hopefully the bomb's something on the level we can pitch in to.
Excuse me, but this card cannot be used.
Huh? You must be joking.
-Who the hell do you think I am?! -P-Please, Sir...
Cash! I'll pay by cash!
But his mom will do whatever it takes, I assume.
Not to mention Doumyouji Corporation has already hit rock bottom.
At worst, this could affect places we wouldn't have even dreamed of.
I just hope Tsukasa realizes this.
I'm gonna crush that store for sure!
Calm down, calm down.
But rich people really don't carry cash, do they?
I can't believe I made you pay for me.
I just wanna die right here.
Call me master from now on, Tsukasa-kun.
You've got bad morals.
I don't appreciately you of all people pointing out my flaws.
But what are we going to do now?
You can have plenty of fun even without money.
Course not.
I'll teach you how to date, the middle class way.
The heck.
The light is green.
Let's go!
Hey!
Wait a second!
-Where are we going? -Will you please reconsider?
Ookawahara-san!!
Don't tell me you're scared of dogs!
I'm not!
I guess you can be cute too.
Don't blame me when you get the dog disease!
What's a dog disease? Come on, try holding it!
Cut it out! Hey!!
Look how rigid you are!
Hurry... do... something...
Don't tell me you were actually scared when we went to the zoo last time?
It was fine as long as
they were from that distance and behind those cages...
I see! Look how cute he is!
Stop... stop it... Stop it...
Let's go to a park!
Park?
Let's play badminton.
Huh? We don't even have rackets or a birdie.
We can just borrow them from people who are playing there.
Oh.
Nishida.
Episode 9: Painful Good-bye in the Rain
Kagayaita no ha What shined was
Kagami demo taiyou demo nakute Neither the mirror nor the sun
Kimi dato kiduita toki kara But you. Since then
Ano namidagumu kumo no zutto Behind those tearful clouds
Ue ni ha hohoemu tsuki Is always a smiling moon.
Love story mata hitotsu Another love story
Kidutuita yume ha kinou no kanata he Take the wounded dreams to yesterday
Sora ni hibike ai no uta The sky will echo with the song of love
Omoide zutto zutto wasurenai sora The sky will always, always remember the memories
Futari ga hanarete itemo No matter if we are separated
Konna sukina hito ni For the girl I love so much
Deau kisetsu nido to nai Even if we won't meet the second time
Hikatte motto saikou no lady Shine more, you're the best lady
Kitto sotto omoi todoku My feelings will definitely, gently reach to you
Shinjiru koto ga subete Love so sweet Believing is everything Love so sweet
Waratte motto saigo no lady Laugh more, you're the last lady
Kitto sotto omoi todoku My feelings will definitely, gently reach to you
Shinjiru koto ga subete Believing is everything
Akenai yoru ha naiyo The sun will always rise
Shinjiru koto ga subete Love so sweet Believing is everything Love so sweet

Nishida-san got fired?
You're lying!
This is not a lie.
I was fired.
But rest assured
I will not act rashly like Ken Uchida.
Nishida.
The president is desperately trying to save the corporation right now.
But I feel this is not what our true corporation is about.
Our international corporation should be more humane like it was.
Nishida...
What should I do now?
Please have confidence.
I know it's tough now.
But if you can overcome this, I believe the company will grow bigger and stronger.
Good luck.
I have faith in you.
Nishida-san told me
what happened to you at New York.
Eh?
And asked me to forgive you.
It's only when the young master is with you that he acts human.
He's the one who encouraged me.
He's also the one
who told me when you collapsed.
By the way, I heard your company has...
Makino Tsukushi To Sanraku Hospital
Nishida-san had to suffer because of us.
I can't believe someone has to suffer like this because of us.
But this is only the beginning
of your mom's revenge.
Is that all your mom has done so far?
Aren't your guy's machine just broken?
Regardless, none of your cards can be used.
Huh?
So she blocked them, huh?
Damn that bitch.
Tsukasa.
Huh?
If you need help, just ask us.
That's right. For now, your money problem is...
Nothing!
Yeah. Thanks.
Makino, are you going back to Tsukasa's house now?
I'll stay at Yuuki's place tonight.
Mmm! It's delicious!
Your fried chickens are great as always!
Thank you.
But I feel bad, causing trouble for you two as well.
What are you talking about? It's almost not enough!
Eh?
You can rely on us more.
We've known you since you were this small.
Thank you very much.
You can stay here as long as you want.
That's right. You don't have to feel bad at all. All right?
Okay.
Thank you so much!
-Let's eat! -Alright, let's eat!
What are you doing here?
I'm here to give you one last chance.
Chance my ass!
You fired Nishida and stopped my cards.
You act like a fucking coward!
Is that your answer?
About what? Stop beating around the bush.
Ookawahara Corporation formally nullified its merge with us today.
Eh?
Um, Mistress... has your customers mentioned anything about cancelling your orders?
Don't worry. After that event
I've started doing business with people who don't accept bribes easily.
I see.
Tsukushi-chan!
You can charge forward without worrying about all this stuff, too.
Thank you.
Hey, it's Nishikado-san!
Eh?
Mimasaka-san's so lucky he gets to ride on Nishikado-san's motorcycle.
Makino, things look bad.
Doumyouji got disowned?
A man who was supposed to be the next big leader
got estranged.
If she goes this far, things will get complicated.
Where's Doumyouji-san now?
At Rui's house.
At Hanazawa Rui's?
Sorry about this, Rui.
I couldn't ask you to do any more for me in the first place.
You've been causing me enough trouble
since we were kids anyway.
Did I really give you such a hard time?
How you don't notice it yourself makes me laugh, Tsukasa.
And there's another reason, why we can't laugh just yet.
The merge with the Ookawahara Corporation
officially fell down the drain.
Eh?
Now what's going to happen?
Things couldn't get any worse for the Doumyouji Corp.
I will now announce our large-scale downsizing plan.
Quiet!
Last year's lay-off has been proved insufficient.
In order to overcome this regression
be prepared for a new level of lay-offs.
It was expected
but now countless companies will go bankrupt.
It might shake up the Japanese economy.
What's wrong?
I just...
want to think about this alone.
Neither of you...
had to say those things in front of her.
But she'll find out eventually.
There no point in hiding it
and you can't deny the truth.
To date the next business leader
means to take responsibility for things like this too.
We have extraordinary news.
Doumyouji Corporation is on the danger of collapsing.
According to those involved, their merge with Ookawahara Corporation failed.
and now the danger of bankruptcy looms over its various child companies.
Makino is one of the central causes of this dilemma.
There's no question about that, is there?
We'll put ourselves at risk and help those guys out, but...
now with Doumyouji Corporation in trouble and Tsukasa disowned
we've got to risk a lot, too.
Despite many permanent changes that takes place around them.
will they still be able to stay together like they are now?
Hey, Rui.
Can I protect Makino and make a living?
Well, this is rare.
That you get insecure.
I wasn't acting high and mighty behind the name Doumyouji, was I?
You just have to prove you weren't by your actions from now on.
I guess.
Come in.
Young master, Rui.
What is it?
Oh, thanks.
Tsukasa.
Eh?
It's here already.
A major change.
Are you saying you don't care what happens?
Are you planning to repeat the same tragedy?
Cheers!
Ken!
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
...yeah.
Can't sleep?
Sorry, Yuuki. Did I wake you up?
Don't worry about me.
What?!
I wonder what happened.
One of our client does business with Doumyouji Banking.
At this rate, we'll be affected for sure.
What are we going to do? We still have home loans to pay back.
Don't let that bother you Tsukushi.
Let's go to sleep. I bet everything will work out.
I...
may have done something I'll regret for life.
That's not true.
None of your cards can be used!
I was fired.
At this rate, we'll be affected for sure.
The merge with Ookawahara Corporation officially fell down the drain.
Things can't get any worse for Doumyouji Corp.
And now the danger of bankruptcy looms over its various child companies.
President, a woman named Makino Tsukushi has...
Let her in.
As you wish.
Excuse me.
What's your business?
Long time no see.
State your business.
If I back out, will everything go back to normal?
If so...
I promise I'll never have anything to do with the Doumyouji family ever again.
So please, I beg you not to disown Doumyouji.
And to save your child companies from bankruptcy somehow.
You do not need to tell me. I'll do my best.
Please... do...
It seems you finally understood the importance of things.
You're interrupting my work. Leave.
Don't ever
ever interfere with our lives again.
Rui, I've decided.
I've got no doubt left.
I see.
I'm going to start a whole new life with her.
Okay.
Maybe we'll be eating hotpot everyday.
What? What's that about?
Well, we'll be a couple that everyone will anvy.
You mean envy?
Whatever!
I'll show the whole world how great I am!
Why don't you live more carefreely?
You live too carefeely.
Thanks.
Why don't you go?
Find Makino?
Yeah.
Thanks for everything.
Rui.
Huh?
It doesn't connect.
She even stopped my cellphone.
Doumyouji-san!
Huh? Where's Makino?
She left already, saying she's going to your house today.
To my house?
Er... I see.
Oh. It's raining.
Makino.
Doumyouji.
What are you doing here?
I didn't have money so I couldn't even take the taxi.
The rain is such a pain.
Rain is such a serious problem to commoners, I suppose. I learned that.
And my hair.
When it gets wet it straightens.
But, don't I look pretty good like this too?
I guess I can live like a commoner too.
This proves it.
Let's end it.
Doumyouji.
I can't go out with you anymore.
Quit joking.
I'm not joking.
I've decided already!
That I'll live my life with you!
That I'll stay by you no matter what.
Come on, let's go!
You're...the next president of the Doumyouji Corporation.
That's why
see... you have to work hard.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding anyone.
Then how can you say stuff like that?
You were laughing when we ate together yesterday. Was that fake?
You said you were going to teach me how to date the middle class way. Was that all?!
We still haven't played badminton at the park yet!!
You said you were going to invite me to eat hotpot. Was that all just talk?!
Why?
Why do you decide
everything by yourself?!
I made a promise
with your mother.
Huh?
That I'll never have anything to do with you and your family again.
Were you threatened?
Damn that bitch to hell!!
No!! That's not it!!
I decided myself.
Eh?
I decided everything
on my own free will.
What the heck is that?
You are
the world's top Doumyouji.
You get involved with me and people get hurt.
Isn't that stupid?
You should know better than anyone else
what you should really be doing.
I...
Here.
By working hard
You can make a lot of people happy.
Makino!
Have you ever looked at me as just a guy?
Not with my company or my mother.
But as just a guy?
Even once?
Who knows.
But
If I really loved you
I won't dump you like this.
Bye.
Tsukushi!
What were you thinking?!
Trying to act tough, not to mention lying to young master like that!
And making such a face!
You're an idiot!
You're... such an... idiot!
Tsukushi.
What are you doing?
Your father can't go out to the sea.
Tsukushi, there's something called sea sickness.
So that's why... you were drying seaweeds?
That's about all he can do.
Did you know seaweed is good for your hair?
That's why we've been eating seaweed since we got here.
Don't tell me your living standards have...
Dropped significantly, would be an understatement.
But more importantly, what brought you here all of a sudden?
I wanted to live with you and Dad and Susumu in the end.
That makes me happy.
I'm happy you're living with us again, Tsukushi.
-Me too. -Me too.
Tsukasa.
Come on, cheer up.
Let's go have some fun.
What's this?
All of you standing here with your stupid face.
Fuck off.
Huh?
That's going a little to far. Everyone's worried about you.
And that's fucking annoying!
I don't give a shit what happens to the Doumyouji Corp.
I'm not a part of it anymore.
Then why don't you chase after Makino?
Soujiro, let's not go there.
Huh?
You know Makino didn't back out because she wanted to.
You're ashamed of yourself for not being able to stop her, aren't you?!
What?
Let me tell you. Seeing you mulling over, hating yourself is even more fucking annoying!
Tsukasa!
Did you come here to give me a lecture huh?!
No matter what you say
you clearly still care a ton about your corporation, don't you?! You helpless brat.
Damn you!
Stop it guys, calm down!
Don't blame me when you get the dog disease.
Don't tell me you're scared of dogs!
I guess you can be cute too.
Stop... stop it... stop it.
Then do you want to come to my house for hotpot next time?
No thanks.
Just kidding.
It's a promise.
The light is green. Let's go!
Wait! Hey!
Makino!
Have you ever looked at me as just a guy?
Not with my company or my mother, but as just a guy?
Even once?
The light is green. Let's go!
...Ken.
Hey!
Wait!!
Who are you?
Memory loss?
No way!
Makino!
I hate girls like you!!
Doumyouji¡­
Please let me work here!
You sure?
I'm dead serious!!
Don't panic!
Enough of this joke!
You will remember Makino Tsukushi.
Not so fast. Good things go around.
You're an idiot.
Let's think of another plan.
-Doumyouji-san! -Susumu!
Doumyouji!
