It's noon already. Time for a break.
Chief! Let's play!
Let's play!
Where's your mama?
I see. She's still sleeping.
So you haven't had lunch yet?
Okay. Why don't we go out and have some lunch?
What shall we have?
M-Mitaka?
Is that good?
Um..
Say,
What?!
What? You're the one who was waiting to see me.
I sort of know how you must be feeling.
Do you?! You know how I'm feeling?
Mrs. Ichinose told me
that it was her dog that was pregnant.
Let's not talk about it
You're not thinking about calling off the engagement?
You know I can't do that
Good.
What do you mean, "good"?!
I-I'd feel sorry for Asuna if you did.
What about me? Don't you feel sorry for me?
You must have gotten engaged to her
because you thought the baby was yours.
I only kissed her!!
Anyway, it's too late.
So what are you going to do?
Now that we know that the whole pregnancy thing
was a misunderstanding.
there's a chance for him to make a comeback.
What are you talking about?
Mitaka! Let's run away together!
Say it, and he's yours.
Why are you always thinking of ways
to destroy other people's happiness?
I wonder.
Is Mitaka happy?
I'm sure he's been through some rough times.
Mitaka's not himself lately.
He hasn't cracked a smile in a while.
There's no turning back now.
I'm not marrying Asuna just for the hell of it.
But.
It's Manager, isn't it?
I've come to realize..
that I'm not the man.
the man she needs in her life.
I don't know if Manager needs me or not.
I'm not very responsible or worthy.
You sure are irresponsible and unworthy.
But I'm doing my best!
You better be, idiot!
If only you were at least a little capable,
I wouldn't have to waste my time coming to see you!
The truth is,
you're the last person I want to see now!
But.
Now that there's nothing more I can do
for Ms. Otonashi
Mitaka...
Do you understand what I'm saying?!
Why should I have to give you a pep talk?!
I'm sorry.
Chief!
I'm bored!
Let's play!
Let's play, Chief!
I'm sorry.
I'm talking to this man about something really important.
Can you play by yourselves a little bit longer?
I'm done here.
I'm leaving.
Asuna's coming over to my place tonight.
Mitaka!
Maybe I haven't earned the right to say something like this.
Please make Asuna happy.
You haven't got the right
I didn't know you were such a great cook, Asuna.
Please.
She's right.
I'm so happy for you. She'll be a perfect bride.
Yes.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some grandchildren soon?
No need to rush.
With Shun, you never know.
By the time they tie the knot,
they may already have a bun in the oven!
Uncle!
Maybe if that were the case,
it would have been easier to swallow.
Do you not like it?
You're not eating very much.
Please! I love it!
I mean it!
I have to keep smiling.
It's been so long since we've looked at Shun's albums.
So cute.
He hasn't changed much, has he?
I haven't?
There are a lot of tennis photos.
He's been absorbed in tennis since middle school.
So young?
That? That's when I was in ninth grade,
during a championship.
Did you win?
No, that was taken after I lost.
Really? You're smiling.
I didn't know what else to do.
Normally, one would look more disappointed.
He's always been cheerful
No one knows how much I cried after that.
Are you exhausted?
No.
So this is your room..
I lived here until I graduated from college.
It's the way I left it.
A man's room is rather dull, isn't it?
Your second-place trophy.
This didn't make you
as happy as a first-place trophy would have.
No.
People are capable...
of smiling even when they're not happy.
Huh?
You looked very different in the photo of you holding this.
And.
And you look the same way tonight.
N-No.
What can I do?
It's nothing you need to worry about
Please don't cry.
A fishmonger cheered.
Wahoo! Just joking.
I-I'm sorry! Please forget what I Just said!
I-I
I just wanted to make you smile.
You don't have to force yourself to laugh.
You're right. Let's just be ourselves.
Let's take our time and be happy.
After all, you and I
are going to spend...
a lifetime together.
Yes.
Good-bye, Ms. Otonashi.
Hi!
You're done with all your exams now, right?
I just have to turn in my senior thesis.
Great!
I just got my bonus today, so let's go out and celebrate.
yay!
It's great to have a reliable older friend!
You're finally becoming a working member of society.
Pleasure to meet you. I'm Kozue Nanao of Toto Bank.
This is all the money I have.
Wow! You're pretty rich!
I've been saving away since I was a little boy.
It's not that I was saving for anything in particular.
But I think it's about time to spend it all
How brave.
And I'd love it if you would help me.
Please.
Won't you do a wedding with me?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Please think about it.
I never knew he liked me since high school.
He's a nice man, but a marriage proposal...?
See you, Godai. I'll leave the rest to you.
Yes! Good night!
Welcome back.
What are you all doing?
Please don't drink in the entry area
in the middle of the day!
We've been waiting for you, Manager.
This is the amulet the old man carries around
when he goes Job-hunting.
It's not very effective, but here.
Here's an energy drink.
Too much will give you a bloody nose, so be careful
Here's a sardine head. Drives away evil
What am I supposed to do with these?
Godai's taking his graduation finals, right?
So why give me these?
We're giving you reasons to go see him,
so why don't you go?
Why me?
Now that you've let Mitaka slip away.
You can no longer be picky.
At least, he's a man.
It's none of your business.
Hello!
What a surprise!
Kozue?
Is Godai here?
Lucky!
Godai's at a cabaret?
Yes.
Why?
He's got his reasons.
He never mentioned it.
You've been seeing him occasionally, haven't you?
Yes, but not lately.
I see.
So they've been seeing each other occasionally.
Godai?
Is it time to go pass out the flyers?
Why you little--!
Godai?
Kozue?
And Manager?
Why are you here?
You haven't called me in a long time.
Why are Kozue and Manager here together?
So which one's your "you-know"?
Please! Not so loud!
Godai?
Y-Yes?
Here.
What are these?
They're from the gang at Maison.
I just came to deliver these.
Bye.
Wait!
How about some tea?
Yes, Manager. You came all the way here.
But.
It's not a nice place, but make yourself at home.
Kozue, so what brought you here today?
Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something.
Godai, why don't you go to a coffee shop or something?
But.
Please don't mind me. I'm leaving.
Thank you, Manager.
Please.
Lunch...
You're the one
who made those lunches for him, aren't you?
Yes.
I knew it. I didn't think it was that other girl
What about it?
It's really not my place to say,
but maybe you should give him some space.
I think he's trying too hard to live up to you.
Please..
We're not like that.
Then why did you make lunches for him?
well-
No need to hide it from me.
I'm not hiding anything.
Anyway, he's going back to the apartment
after he's done with his exams.
Please be kind to him.
Of course. There's no reason I should be mean to him.
As if I'm the one pressuring Godai!
What? You're in the midst of finals?
It'll be over tomorrow.
It's an important time for you.
Anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?
I won't talk about it today.
Why?
Forget it. I'll wait until you're done with your finals.
But you came all the way here.
Don't worry about me. Good luck on your exams.
Right.
Why did I bother coming?
Godai left right away with Kozue.
I Feel like an idiot.
Now it's bothering me.
Don't let it.
It's not that big a deal.
It was nice to see you. It's been a while.
I may not be that dependable,
but you can talk to me about anything.
Would you do anything for me?
If it's something I can do.
Look here.
Close your eyes.
Thank you.
Hey.
He proposed?!
Yes. Godai proposed to Kozue.
What's going on?
You've got it all wrong!
Manager?!
Next: "Love Forlorn! Today is IT for Godai and Kyoko"
We can't help you anymore!
