Thank you.
Dear Manager,
Please forgive me for behaving the way I did the other day.
I did not intend to be indecent. Please understand that.
from that incident
I realized that I must face a significant problem in my life head on.
Significant problem.
Until I solve that problem, I won't be able to see you for a while.
A while?
I wonder if Godai also gave up on me.
Oh? Going out?
Yes, stepping out.
What happened to you two last night?
Eh?
This morning Godai stood in the hallway staring at your room.
What's the matter? You don't have any pep.
Not really.
I don't know where you're going,
but sometimes you should get away for a change of scenery.
You're still young.
I have nothing to...
Change of scenery?
A trip?
Yes, if possible for three to four days.
Where are you going?
I haven't decided yet.
It'll be the first trip I take alone.
The first time?
Manager, I heard you're taking a trip?
feeling guilty?
Why don't you two suggest an itinerary?
My pleasure.
Um...
Let me see.
I'd recommend Hokkaido for this time of the year.
No, Okinawa. She can go swimming.
I strongly push Hokkaido.
Why don't we go to Shinshu and drink up into the night?
Then Okinawa it is.
No, hairy crab in Hokkaido!
-Okinawa's shochu! -Shinshu's buckwheat noodles!
Hairy crab!
Spirits!
Excuse me, but I...
You need not worry. Why don't you pack your bags?
Okay...
Tohoku may not be bad. The sake is tasty there.
The same goes for Kyushu.
What became of Shinshu? I'm for Shinshu.
They aren't thinking of coming with me, are they?
That does it.
Let's visit all the recommended places.
I agree!
You've got to be kidding!
Thank you for your help, but I'll decide for myself.
How unappreciative.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Did you get back to Maison Ikkoku?
Yeah, sad as it was.
You're such a crybaby.
Not me, Manager cried.
Eh?
Let's go, Manager.
I jotted down my itinerary, where I'll be staying.
There's no need for that.
Even if you aren't here, the apartment won't fall to the ground.
Just in case.
It'll be all right.
If anything happens, it'll be too late anyway.
I'll post it on my door.
Do as you wish.
Whatever it is, if you don't hurry you won't make it.
Don't you get it? She adores you.
But, but... It can't be.
There's no other way to interpret what you just told me.
But we're talking about you and Manager.
Whether it holds true for you two is another story.
So, was that it? It wasn't my imagination.
Others see it the same way.
I'm back!
Why did she suddenly go on a trip?
You'll be fine without me?
I'll be all right.
I must do it!
I have to find out the meaning behind her tears.
Hey! Three more large beers, over here!
Miss, do you have appetizers? Hors d'oeuvres?
What's the matter, Manager? You haven't had a drop yet.
I'll say! It's your farewell party.
Listen to yourselves!
I missed the train because of you. The next train isn't until--
There, there. Can't put the train in reverse, after you've passed the station.
Exactly. Let's drink up.
Do you plan on keeping me here?
Two, three beers more. The railroad track isn't going anywhere.
Hits the spot!
It's gone in no time.
Miss, do you have mackerel?
Excellent choice.
I think I'll have another.
Shall we?
Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.
Hey! Are you running away from us?
All aboard.
The train for Kanazawa is about to leave.
Please stand clear of closing doors.
It's as if I'm escaping by night.
Say "ahhh."
Ahh...
Please wait, Manager. I'll overcome my fear of dogs.
I'm far behind. But I'll catch up with you, Manager.
Other places tourists would visit are Edomura and Danfuen.
They're a distance from here, but I'll have a look.
Excuse me!
Will you please take my picture?
Sure!
I'm ready!
Smile!
One more!
Another one, please!
Are you by yourself?
Really! Traveling alone isn't the least bit romantic, is it? It's boring.
Excuse me?
You're staying at Muroya Inn, aren't you?
I caught a glimpse of you this morning.
By the way, I'm going to Edomura by taxi.
Would you like to split the fare with me?
Eh?
Thank you! I was just getting lonesome.
I was also feeling bored.
Do you work?
Yes, I'm the resident manager of an apartment building. And you?
I was an office clerk until recently. But I'm free of that now.
You're fortunate.
Not really.
Smile!
Thank you very much.
You're welcome. Here you go.
Thank you. This is for you.
Eh?
Goodbye.
Thank you!
But I don't smoke.
Hey, you there! What's the matter with you?
Huh?
Can't you read?
Smoke in designated areas only! Understood?
No, I just--
Are you going to deny it?
How can you explain all that at your feet?
At my feet?
Those aren't mine!
Are smokers so desperate, they have to smoke in places like this?
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
Let's take a picture somewhere.
Yes, lets.
How about in front of there?
Okay.
from now on, be more careful.
I'm very sorry!
Huh?
Anything wrong?
No.
That sounded like Godai but it couldn't be him.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Huh?
You must have a wonderful boyfriend.
No, I don't.
I won't be able to see you for a while.
I don't have feelings for you anymore.
No, you let them back Into your memory.
I have no choice but to wait in front of the inn.
Shall we be leaving soon?
We're closing!
I'm sorry.
Harumi, it's closing time.
What's the matter?
When I'm alone, I feel like dying.
What?
MUROUYA INN
She sure is late.
Shucks, I have to leave!
I wasn't lucky enough to get reservations at the same inn.
Can't be helped since it's tourist season.
I had to quit my job because of him.
Oh? Boyfriend trouble?
I sent my itinerary to him before I left on this trip.
Details of when and where I'll be.
Can you understand? Edomura was the last place we visited together.
I see.
It was all for nothing.
Itineray, huh?
Manager!
Silly! That's too good to be true.
Strange... Where could she be, this late at night?
Yes, Maison Ikkoku. Police? Godai?
Yes, Godai lives here.
Anyway, he--
He said Godai is being questioned.
What did he get caught for? Stealing panties?
He wouldn't do anything like that.
What the heck is going on?
I apologize for yesterday.
Don't. Are you all right?
Yes, it was worth coming on this trip.
I got it all out of my system.
I'm glad to hear it.
It was nice meeting you.
Same here.
Take care. Goodbye!
Her itinerary says she'll arrive in Wajima at 3:30.
I'll get there before her, by train.
That's her...
Manager!
Huh?
We're departing.
Who is he?
Please let go of me! Mind your own business!
fool! Were you planning to jump into the street and kill yourself?
fool!
You have it all wrong!
Are you going against me?
Why is this happening? Manager!
A mixed bath?
Manager and Godai run into each other in a bathing area.
Of course, they were naked!
You're about the only one who bathes with clothes on.
Next: "All Right! Alone in the Bath with Kyoko!"
I'm...jealous!
