Yes.
(Amemiya Hotaru) Good work. (Sachiko) Good work.
(Izaki) Good work. Good work.
Huh? Boss, you're leaving early today.
No, I have a meeeting now.
Eh? Is that so?
What?
Nothing...
Wonder what I should do for dinner.
That's right, I treated Amemiya to Iberian pig earlier.
Ah, thanks for treating me.
And then, she looked so happy taking it home in a plastic container.
She said, "I'll feed it to Mr. Otaka."
Mr. Otaka?
Ah, apparently she's living with a person called Otaka.
Well, it seems he's somewhat of a nag.
That's enough talk about that.
Why's that?
That's enough already.
Why?
Keep saying "Why"...
Don't get so mad. What?

Ahh~
Wonder what I should eat~
Speaking of marriage...
Marriage?
Before marrying, look carefully with both eyes open. After marrying,...
...look with one eye closed. What a thing to say but...
Uh-huh... Well, as for me, already...
... I not only close one eye, I also block my ears, nose, and mouth, too.
Hahaha..!
Have to. Just kidding yaa~
Speaking of which. That girl over there clapping and laughing.
Eh?
Once you get married...
Me?
...you'll have to endure much. (Note: 'gaman - endurance, suppression, control, tolerance, etc.)
Yes. If you can't put up with it, there's no way you can be married. (Note: 'gaman' is a unique Japanese word. Endless homework? Gaman. Overworking boss? Gaman! etc.)
What?
Someone long ago said something wise (about) one's store of patience. (Note: Having great patience and endurance in Japan is taught and encouraged... even if it kills you.)
That is, their bag of patience is said to be located within a person's heart. (Note: Thus, 'karooshi', death from overwork, in Japan - too much gaman.)
However, in recent times that bag of patience has...
...been getting smaller so...
...even a small matter will cause one to run out of patience immediately.
That's why the number of people who can't marry is said to be increasing. (Note: High rent, more higher education, expensive modern lifestyles, etc. lend to delayed marriage in modern, first-world countries.)
Oh no!
Especially women nowadays...
"Try putting up with a thing or two!"
Right... isn't that right?
Hmmmm...
Yes!
Yes.
This is the nagging Mr. Otaka.
I'm sorry. For saying needless things to Seno.
Have you eaten dinner?
One rice cracker. (Note: 'senbei' is a Japanese cracker made from rice, usually flavored with soy sauce, sugar, and/or sesame seeds.)
That's not dinner. My meeting's finished so...
I was thinking of going to an Okinawan restaurant. Opened yesterday by a younger colleague of mine.
Can you come out now?
So it's a date!
With Konatsu, too.
Eh?
If I'd like, how about you too, she said.
Endure
I understand. I'll come immediately.
(Asada Konatsu) Is it ok?
Yea.
I'm glad.
It's not something you need to worry about.
No.
Just the two of us eating - feels awkward after all.
It's not like we have a relationship to feel guilty over, right?
Well, not now.
Oh. I wonder if Amemiya is ok with Okinawan cuisine.
She'll eat anything.
Wait a second.
Hello. Just because I said it was an Okinawan cuisine restaurant...
doesn't mean you need to be in Okinawan-style clothing.
Oh? Really?
Just dress normally. Normally!
Hurry up and get here you fool.
Eh? Ryuukyuu (Okinawan) dancing?
There's no need for you to show us that!
(Konatsu) I said that I was preparing to open a store right?
Yeah.
I found out that the place I was after was sold to another.
Sigh. Once more...
I'll look for you. I'll handle the negotiations with the real estate agent.
There's no way I can have you doing that much for me.
That real estate agency is not taking you seriously because you are a woman.
That's not true.
Say...
Today...Chika was it?
At her grandmother's in Yokohama. Sometimes she takes care of her for me.
That girl has to endure various things because of me.
Endure?
But it can't be helped, we are trying to head toward a new life.
For both Chika and me, a little patience...
I understand. I was scolded too. "Be patient!" he said.
By whom?
The TV.
Were you talking to the TV again?
"Try putting up with a thing or two!" he said.
Ms. Konatsu, let's do our best.
Eh that's right... let's do our best.
Cheers!
(Store manager) Mr. Takano! (Note: The store manager says 'senpai', thus in Japan, Takano ranks higher/has senority.)
Oh.
Thank you for coming today.
Here, on the house.
Okinawan bitter melon stir-fry. Isn't it delicious?
Aa. Goes well with beer, right?
That's right.
Umm, I like it too - the bitter melon.
Really?
(Store manager) I have heaps that arrived from Okinawa. Would you like to take some?
Can we accept them?
Shall we accept them?
Thank you very much. (in chorus)
We got all this bitter melon.
Could you please do that over there?
What?
Bitter melon doesn't suit me well.
But, you said, "It goes well with beer."
I was just making conversation.Truth is, I hate it.
By all means, if you want to eat it, do it where I can't see it.
Boss...
If that's the case, please say so.
It's alright. It's not like I really want to eat bitter melon.
But you were eating Okinawan bitter melon stir-fry like so.
That was because I thought you liked bitter melon.
Then, you too?
I dislike it.
Truthfully, I really dislike it.
AhoMiya.
Boss.
These, these!
These!
Aa~!
Ee!
Ew!
Ahh~ that's better~.
Well, go to sleep?
Night.
What's wrong?
No, nothing. What's wrong?
No, nothing.
Night.
Good night.
Sigh...
Good morning.
Morning.
Oh! What's the matter? That face.
Eh?
Aa!
AhoMiya...
B..boss!
A long, long time ago......memories of a long summer...
Grandmom had said...
Fireflies, you know...
...(need) clean waters......and flowing rivers...
...and untouched nature to exist.
...whenever summer draws near, I recall...
...what seemingly could vanish at any moment...
...the small, short-lived light.
Chapter 3
This program was sponsored by 'Kao' and...
...the following sponsors.
"Can't endure? Can't marry!"
Hives!?
Yeah.
What's wrong with Amemiya?
She said she's not very well so she'll be resting for a while.
What!? That zealous-about-work person?
Did she eat too much? Or something like she ate bad food. Right?
Yea, that's right.
I didn't eat too much or something bad.
Isn't because you forced yourself to eat that bitter melon you dislike?
It's not due to food.
I'm having the cause looked into now but...
...it might be psychogenic hives they said. (Note: Psychogenic - Caused by mind rather than a physical one.)
Eh!?
(Sachiko) Psychogenic?
Due to her being subjected to something mentally....
...the situation existed where the symptoms occurred, I heard.
No, Hotaru is not the kind of girl who gets stressed by work though.
I mean, no matter how hard work is, at home she takes it easy
She's well balanced, right?
Yeah.
(Futatsugi) Well, if it's not work, then it's her private life.
I've also experienced it.
Eh, what? You got hives?
When I first started going out with you, there were things I had to put up with.
What's that? Saying 'put up with'?
Not... well...
For example, I wanted to be with you all the time, but because I (had to take) the last train (home), I had to endure (the wait).
I want to know you more but...
...that's also perilous, so I have to put up with that.
Heheh! Hehehe!
Futa-chan hehe... Hehehe...(together)
Oh, but if it's Hotaru, that sort of thing might be possible.
Hmm.
Are you treating her nicely? For example...
..before going out or before saying good night...
...always give her a kiss.
We don't do that kind of thing yet.
え？ (Futatsugi) Not yet? (Yamada) Eh?
Because we're having a wholesome relationship.
What!? (together)
Hang on... can I hear that one more time?
Because we're having a wholesome relationship.
Whaaaaaat!? (together)
"A person in their 40s will know true platonic love for the first time."... (Note: Unverified quote attribution.)
That Goethe also says. (Note: Unverified attribution. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749-1832, German writer and polymath.)
Hang on!
You know my character, right?
Since we've come this far, we'll continue along this path of being a wholesome couple until we're married.
That's a foolish, lovey-dovey couple! (Note: Play on words. 'bakappuru' - contraction of 'baka', foolish, silly, absurd,... + 'kappuru' - a couple. Normally means lovely-dovey couple.)
That's entirely not healthy. Rather, unhealthy.
A man and woman in love with each other under one roof...
...and saying you haven't even kissed...
Ah, that may be it.
(Sachiko) Ah, that's it.
Hotaru is unskilled with love so...
..she's unable to say herself that she wants to kiss...
She's trying to endure, isn't she?
(Wanting to) kiss is the cause of her hives?
It's possible. Highly probable.
Because when that girl worries about something, she really worries about it.
At least, give her a goodnight kiss.
((Well, time for sleep? Night.))
((What's wrong?))
((No, nothing.))
((It may be psychogenic hives. Seems to be common lately.
By overworking and enduring things, (that results in) a girl where (hives) appear on her body.
((Oh. That was said on TV, too, I believe.))
((They can't endure even for a moment.))
((Therefore, the number of women who can't marry is increasing, he said.))
((Ah... Well.. I'm fine. I'll try to do my best!))
((Well, I'll be going.))
Nn~! Nn~...!
Endure...Endure! Endure! Endure!
I'm home.
Welcome home!
Are you OK? Why aren't you asleep? Let me have a quick look.
Ok!
Is the medicine working? Appears to be subsiding significantly.
Really?
Do you have an idea what the cause was?
A...
You do?
Something you are enduring perhaps?
Is that it?
(Sachiko)((Hotaru is unskilled with love so...))
...she's unable to say herself that she wants to kiss...
She's trying to endure, isn't she?
AhoMiya, what are you trying to endure?
I can't say.
Why?
Because...
Why can't you say?
Because...
OK, close your eyes.
Huh?
Just close them.
Wha... What's happening?
It's itchy!
Itchy!?
It's gotten itchy all of a sudden, but I cant scratch it!
Aah...
But it's itchy...Un~...itchy~ itchy!
Aah! Aah~! Itchy~!
Aho...Ahomiya.
Itchy itchy itchy...!
Ahomiya!
Itchy~...! Itchy~...!
Ahomiya, are you ok?
Itchy~...Itchy~... ITCHY!
You couldn't do it?
No.
Nowadays, even junior high school students can do something like kissing.
There isn't somewhere unusual about you?
You have a problem with me?
That's right.
You're finished as a man. I wonder if you're already dried up.
Seno? What's wrong?
Your work came around to me.
But I don't know (where) the fabric (sample) for Daikanyama Hotel's sofa fabric (is).
Oh...sorry. It's in my desk.
Right, then. I'll try to find them.
If you can't identify it, please contact me again.
OK, take care~.
Amemiya?
Yeah. She's fine. Sounded healthy.
Good night. (Note: Multi-tasking Japanese phrase. Used when leaving work at the end of the day. Can mean "Thanks for the hard work", "Good night", "I'm off", etc.)
See you tomorrow.
Seno, it's already 5 o'clock, aren't you going home? (Note: Contract workers can leave as scheduled without too much social stigma. Normal permanent workers can often and normally be found at work past 7pm in Japan.)
After I finish this.
When she's not around, we don't make much progress.
Huh? Where is it?
It's a place owned by an acquaintance.
If it matches what you're after, I'll do the negotiations.
I think it's not bad, though.
What? You're not satisfied?
That's not it. Why are you (doing this)?
I said I'd search (for a place).
For that reason, I don't plan on presuming upon your kindness to that extent.
I came to you to consult about the store's plan..
After a place has been found, store construction begins.
I know that.
Well, in front of a train station, there are limitless, secluded spots...
This is not your store.
I understand that.
You don't understand.
That is, by consulting with you, I enlist your help but...
...as much as I can, I believe I must do it myself.
I want to become strong.
I'm not the same as when I was dating with you.
Sorry...
That was immature.
Even though with great effort you searched for me.
Sorry... Let me have it... I'll look over it and see.
I see. Might certainly not be (a) bad (place to open a store).
《When I was going out with her, that youthful time...
..I could so simply kiss and the like.
《I was able to do both this and that.》
《Now...》
((You're finished as a man.))
《No...I can still do it.》
《I can do it if it's a woman like her.》
《I should be able to do it. I'll absolutely do it.》
What are you looking at?
Ah... nothing...
(Takebayashi) I'm gone until (tomorrow) morning.
See you!
Bye!
I'm sorry, I took the key home.
Indeed, you did.
I mean, it would have have also been fine if I went and picked it up.
No, anyways, I was only loafing.
Here, this is it.
Thanks.
Sorry about that.
No problem.
Huh? Didn't you have hives? You look fine.
But it's still a bit itchy.
Then, hurry home.
Yes, hello.
Huh? The fabric sample isn't here.
What? Isn't it the bottom one?
Which one?
Was that Seno just now?
Yes, I'm at work now.
Eh?
Papa~!
Was that Chika just now?
Yeah, I'm at the Okinawan restaurant from last time.
Chika also likes bitter melon so...
...she was talking about how she wanted to eat it no matter what...
...So today, it's the three of us including Konatsu.
That's...
Therefore, I'll be a little late.
You'll be late? You're telling me to be patient?
AhoMiya...
I'll be fine - by myself.
Hello?
Un~...
Alright already. Bye!
Ah...
Amemiya...
What? Just now on the phone. Who?
Mr. Otaka.
Ahh, living together...
This Otaka... is a man? A woman?
A man.
A man?
So you have someone like that.
I can't put up with it any more.
Eh? I can't put up with it any more.
Eh?
I can't stand it.
I...
Amemiya?
I'm going home!
I'm sorry. Excuse me!
Ah..jee.
Sorry!
Unn! Unn!
I can't stand it!
I really can't stand it!
(Konatsu's voice) Endure?
What are you making her endure?
Well, how should I say...
Anyways, for hives to appear, it must be major.
Hurry (home).
Papa~...
Papa has an important person waiting for him. (Note:...single-family children in Japan are uncommon...)
I'm sorry, Chika. I'll see you again soon, OK. (Note:...and often subject to severe bullying and rejection at school and in life.)
You never say enough with words so...
...when you get home, kiss and hug her...
Give her a kiss or something.
Bye.
Mama, you look lonely.
Eh?
That's not true.
It's not like that.
Alright, let's eat some bitter melon stir-fry. Eat up!
(Voice recording) The number you have dialed can not be reached...
AhoMiya.
It's bitter melon, after all! Seriously.
What do you mean, "The 3 of us will have Okinawan cuisine!"
What do you mean, "Chika likes bitter melon, too!"
To the point where hives have broken out, I want to eat bitter melon..
...even though you tell me to endure.
I can't stand it anymore!
I'm gonna eat you bitter melon!
I'll eat so much I'll die!
Delicious~!
Tasty!
After all, bitter melon with beer is the best~!
AhoMiya!
You're home, right? AhoMiya!
AhoMiya!
sigh~.
"Endure!"
AhoMiya...
AhoMiya.
Over there...
I thought I knew everything about you but...
...Yamada told me.
...you're unskilled at love so you're unable to say yourself that you want to kiss...
...you've been holding back, haven't you?...
From Konatsu, too...
Your vocabulary is a little limited, so how can I say it...
I mean. When I think about it, although I declared my marriage intention to you...
I didn't convey my feelings properly.
AhoMiya. I...
I love everything about you including your foolishness.
I love you.
Come here.
AhoMiya?
Ugh...ugh..ugh...
Are you crying?
AhoMiya...
AhoMiya!
What are you doing?
U..Umm...
What the hell are you eating?
Bi....bi...bitter melon.
I was holding back, wanting to eat it...
I was really holding back...
And thus...
And thus, your psychogenic hives?
And thus...
My psychogenic hives...?
Why you~!
I'm sorry!
AhoMiya~!!
In the first place, what's this about? You should be at home sleeping...
...why were you meeting with Seno at work?
I was called in for work.
Even though I was worried about you.
You went for Okinawan cuisine, too, didn't you...
With Ms. Konatsu.
It wasn't just the two of us.
Even though it wasn't just the two of you, if you are worried about me...
...then, please don't go to places that serves bitter melon.
Despite that I was holding back from bitter melon.
Why can't you stand it like that.
Was it really that thing caused the hives to appear to begin with?
To me, it's not just "that thing."
I held back from something I really wanted to eat.
If it's only that level of restraint, anybody...
I can't.
Can't? Up until now, haven't you ever put up with something?
For the sake of someone I love.
This is the first time I've held back from something I thought I really wanted to eat.
It was harsh~...
Am I going to die, I thought.
It's only bitter melon.
It's only bitter melon?
What do you know about bitter melon?
I don't want to know anything about bitter melon.
Even though it's so delicious!
I don't think such a bitter thing is something for humans to eat.
How can you talk like that about bitter melon!
Are you protecting bitter melon or something!?
Bitter melon is not bad!
Isn't the one that's bad is you, who cannot eat bitter melon?
Bitter melon is good for your health, and good for dealing with the summer fatigue!
Please try eating some bitter melon yourself, too!
If you love me, please become able to eat my much loved bitter melon!
I don't love you.
You said about me that you "love me"...
I loved you some time ago, but...
You don't love me now?
Whether or not I can be in love with the you, who much loves the bitter melon that I hate, is at the moment uncertain.
To say that! It's only bitter melon, isn't it!?
If it's only bitter melon, then you should be able to hold back, right?
I can't do that!
If we are going to be together forever, then there will also be things we will need to endure, right?
For me, I can't put up with that!
If that's the case, keep eating bitter melon for the rest of your life! Some place where I can't see!
I will keep eating it for the rest of my life! Some place where you can't see!
Because I can't go on living without bitter melon!
Goodbye!
Japanese story teller Kikuya Menzou has suddenly divorced.
Mr. Menzou, why did you divorce?
The reason for divorcing?
Ah, excuse me!
With the kind of wife who cannot endure for the sake of her husband...
...do you think I could stand living together? Right?
((If we are going to be together forever, then there will also be things we will need to endure, right?))
((For me, I can't put up with that!))
Hotaru.
(Sachiko's voice) I see, the cause was bitter melon.
Pff.
It's not something to laugh at!
Ah... it's fine, you can laugh.
I get it.
If others did it, it would be meaningless.
Quarreling over trivial things...
is what being together is.
In movies and dramas, when your desires come true, it's the end however...
...in reality the hard part comes after your dreams are realized.
Here.
Especially when getting married.
Eh, difficult?
Of course it's difficult.
It begins with likes and dislikes of food...
...and when hobbies, tastes (in things), and values differ...
...you must put up with it.
Are you also putting up with something?
I've got goosebumps.
I've endured to the extent where I could even break out with psychogeneic hives!
Ehh~ What is it? What is it exactly?
Obviously, wearing this T-shirt!
Ehh?
I also thought that for Yamada, it's somewhat...
You think so too, right!?
For as long as I've lived, I've never worn a such a foolish T-shirt!
But you know, this guy says it was his dream.
He says it was his dream to wear matching T-shirts and to watch "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind"! (Note: Famous 1984 Japanese animation movie by Hayao Miyazaki.)
(Futastugi) You've been enduring for my sake.
(Sachiko) Of course, I endured.
Because I love you.
I've been enduring for you!
Yamada Nee-san, that's enough. Stop with the "Nee-san". (Note: Nee-san means elder sister, young lady, miss, waitress. A form of address similar to Miss or Mister.)
Yamada~!
Don't address me without a title! (Note: In Japan, asking to use a formal title such as '-san' between close couples suggests she putting more distance between them. Perhaps punishment for the happy, yellow t-shirt...?)
(Sachiko) Enough!
I see.
Yamada also has things she endures.
Everybody does.
Anyone who's fallen in love...
...has a person they tried their best dating...
...would understand your feelings.
For the sake of the one you love, you tried your best to endure.
I understand your feelings well.
But, it's not going well...
(Sachiko) That can't be helped.
That's just saying the degree of endurance (required) is greater than what you thought.
I want to try my best one more time.
I'll try denying myself from eating bitter melon.
With the boss, always...
...because I always want to be together.
(Sachiko) Hotaru.
I'll endure!
(Sachiko) I'll look after Hotaru at my place for a while.
I think it's better (when he's) cooled off.
A certain somebody.
Are you alright now, Amemiya?
Yeah, sorry for worrying you.
Ah, Seno was worried more than me.
Huh? Was not.
(Mana) Shouldn't we all go out for a drink to celebrate Amemiya's recovery?
Good idea! How about the restaurant that the boss's junior colleague has?
Look, it's an Okinawan cuisine restaurant that just opened the other day.
Yeah....(from everyone)
But I can't eat bitter melon and such...
(Izaki) Eh?
Moreover, I'm not yet in perfect physical condition so...
...I'll have to wait a bit regarding going out together for a drink...
Oh, but please, everyone please go have fun without me.
That so?
Alright! Since we rarely do, can everyone go?
(Sachiko) Boss, this for you.
It's from Izaki.
Ah, bitter melon! No!
What?
Where's the bitter melon?
Oh...
It's no good.
Can I go to sleep already?
Eh?
When I'm awake, my mind fills of bitter melon!
Hotaru?
She fell asleep? Despite such hours?
That's right.
She's having nightmares.
Bitter melon...uhn...
(Sachiko) Sigh.
I wonder what boss is planning to do?
Uu~n...
((Bitter melon is not bad!))
((Isn't the one that's bad is you, who cannot eat bitter melon?))
Sigh...itadakimasu. (Note: Untranslatable phrase Japanese often say before eating. No English equivalent.)
Ugh...
Ugh ugh...!
I'm here~.
Why?
Eh? I had a feeling you were calling out for me.
I wasn't calling out for you.
How many years do you think we've known each other? Ah~ haha.
You can't eat it like this.
I've come up with some bitter melon recipes that even you could eat.
Futatsugi.
Lend me a hand.
Uuh~...bitter melon...
Can't sleep?
Bitter melon is showing up in my dreams.
The bitter melon is crying out, "Eat me, eat me."
Message tone's ringing.
It might be the boss.
It's from Mr. Izaki... (Message: Bowling!! Won't you join us, Amemiya? Everyone's waiting.)
This time, he says it's bowling...
Won't it be good if you also went?
If it's bowling, it has absolutely nothing to do with bitter melon.
It's said sweating it all out and forgetting about it is one thing you can do.
Forget...?
Yeah.
Isn't your head full of bitter melon~?
Me, too. When my head became filled the man who dumped me...
...I forgot by going to the gym and going to the golf range.
(Matsunokouji) Yes~!
(Izaki & Matsunokouji) Ya~y!
Maybe I'm completely drunk.
Oy oy! What's wrong, what's wrong! Next, let's go!
Who's my opponent?
"I'll be your opponent!"
huh?
Amemiya.
My mentor, Amemiya.
Sure you're ok?
I'm fine.
Alright, let's play!
(Futatsugi) Bitter melon omelet.
Uu...
(Izaki) Yes~!
(Izaki) Ya~y! Ya~y!
Bitter melon?
If you mind is askew...
...even the ball will be askew.
Move it, come on.
Shoo shoo shoo.
Yes!
Matsu, go!
If you're not in perfect shape, maybe you should quit?
No.
I can't get married like this.
Marriage?
Possibly with the guy called Mr. Otaka?
I want to do my best.
Mmm, that's good. If you're trying your best for something in particular.
Anyway, what's that got to do with bowling?
By winning this match...
...I will feel that I can surmount it.
Humpf. Still saying these incomprehensible reasons...
I'll do it.
《Dang bitter melon》
Ey!
It's no good.
《Dang bitter melon!》
No good.
《Dang bitter melon!》
Really no good!
Huf...huff...
Enough already...
This is the last menu item.
Curry?
(Futatsugi) Bitter melon curry.
Where's the bitter melon?
Don't search.
Don't think about the bitter melon.
Only think about her.
((If you love me, please become able to eat my much loved bitter melon!))
Oh, there's bitter melon in there.
Jeez. Don't say that already!
Still one more! (Note: Score is 108 Izaki/Matsunokouji to 90 Amemiya/Seno. Interestingly, her partner has been getting strikes ^o^ each time she's gotten gutterballs >.<!)
Alright, it's your last go.
Might still be hopeless yet again...
You're not doing your best, are you? I don't really know but...
...you are getting married to this guy called Mr. Otaka, right?
Yes.
I have to prevail here...
I have to conquer this!
《Damn bitter melon~!!》
I did it...
You really did it! Amazing!
Ahh~.. damn it~!
I'm glad.
I'm glad, too. Here.
Thanks.
I don't want to lose.
Eh?
I just don't want to lose to my mentor, Amemiya.
《With this, everything willl be fine.》
《No more of this bitter melon...》
(Umeda) That's too bad, isn't it, Bitter Melon! (Note: Play on words. A bitter defeat - unpleasant defeat.)
(Takebayashi) Disappointing, isn't it, Mr. Bitter Melon.
Here, wipe.
《Matsunokouji… Mr. Bitter Melon…》
It's no good! Even though I thought I'd forgotten about it!
It was no good.
I still don't know whether or not I can hold back about the bitter melon ...
It's ok. It's ok.
Here! Because it's time.
"Time," you say?
At any rate, please go home.
Ok.
Boss?
It's me.
Did you come to pick me up?
Yeah.
But, I still...
...haven't completely regarding the bitter melon...
You haven't heard?
Regarding you, who says she loves the bitter melon that I hate,...
...the possibility that I could like her has emerged.
What?
On today's menu is bitter melon curry.
Boss, have you become able to eat bitter melon?
Yeah, the end of a tremendous struggle.
For me?
For the hives.
For me, you (ate) bitter melon?
It was because of the hives! I'm so happy!
I'm extremely happy! Thank you so much!
I'm sorry for getting angry over such a trivial thing.
Give it to me. Here.
Thank you very much!
This is great! This is really great!
Boss! Boss!
You can do it with the (same) enthusiasm (as I have now), too.
Do what?
You thought I was holding back for was a kiss, right?
Yeah.
Shall we do it? Kiss~, hey hey? Kiss~ kiss~!
Be quiet. I'll do it. Seriously!
What? Seriously?
Faint...
Wai..Wait! Sorry!
It's from the hospital.
Hello.
Your exam results have arrived from the University Hospital.
The cause of the hives is...
...cat fleas.
Cat fleas?
The window is left open! The futon is left spread out!
So that's it. That's how a kitty got in...
On my futon, fleas are...
I see~. (in chorus)
So it had nothing to do with bitter melon?
But thanks to that, you are able to eat bitter melon...
For one thing, you've grown as an adult.
Yeah.
As if it has anything to do with that!
What was psychogenic? Quickly exterminate the fleas, flea-woman!
I'm sorry!
Mr. Otaka?
Seems she's thinking about getting married to this guy she's living with.
My mentor, Amemiya, is getting married...
Somehow, it doesn't look like that.
Shocking.
Why would I be?
We're seeing a movie, right? What should it be?
Hey, don't you want to go to Amemiya's house to see what kind of person he is?
Huh?
Let's go!
Die! Die! Die! (Note: Torya - Just a sound uttered when doing something harsh, no meaning.)
Don't hit it! Use this to vacuum.
Yeah!
(Mika) Ah. Here, over here! Here it is!
Push.
Here.
Ah.
Ah~! I worked hard~!
You only aired out a futon.
Hehe!
Cheers!
Cheers.
"Hello~!"
(Mika) Say~this is Miss Amemiya's house, isn't it?
This is Sakuragi!
This is Seno~.
Hello~! (in chorus)
