I'm so dense.
Godai's so nice, I assumed he had feelings for me.
It never occurred to me that he had a woman like that.
I'm such an idiot!
"A woman like that"?
Akemi at Maison Ikkoku.
What?
No way.
I saw them! I saw them coming out of a hotel!
No way... It can't be true.
Maybe I'll seduce Godai...
Even Akemi wouldn't take a prank this far...
Maybe I'll seduce him...
Why isn't the manager home yet?
What's taking her so long?
Snack Chachamaru
I know. Welco-
What's up, Manager?
Why don't you go straight to Maison Ikkoku?
well...
They're all waiting for you.
well
Um...
Huh?
I get it! You're too embarrassed to go back
after all the trouble you've caused!
Don't worry! Nobody cares.
I'll call them for you. They're all home.
Akemi, I haven't...
Hey! It's me. Manager's here.
...decided to go back yet.
Okay! See ya.
Did you say something?
I have something I want to ask you.
Ask me?
I...
I ran into... Kozue in front of the train station.
Kozue? So you heard.
that she saw Godai and me come out of a hotel.
so?
Well, so.
It's true.
Welc-
What's up?
She stopped moving.
Godai, is it true that you went to a hotel with Akemi?
She moved!
Akemi!
It's the truth, isn't it?
I'm innocent! I didn't do anything!
I HATE YOU!
I'm going to quit being the manager.
Kyoko, I honestly didn't do anything!
Please believe me!
Forget it. Do whatever you want.
What actually happened?
Even if I say nothing happened, she won't listen.
If Godai and I connected physically,
there's no connection of the heart.
It's as if nothing happened.
There was no connection!
Fine. Forget it.
You can just be Akemi's gigolo!
What did you say?!
What? Hit me.
Go ahead.
If you feel no ounce of guilt, go ahead.
Hit me!
But.
You keep spewing out nonsense.
Coward! Lowlife! Two-timer! Scum!
Please let me explain.
I hate you.
The bill...
Look at that pathetic face.
Why scream and cry over a guy who won't even hold your hand?
I wouldn't bother to snatch away a man
from a troublesome woman like you.
Idiot.
She forgot her dog and luggage.
Leave 'em.
At least take her her coat. It's getting chilly.
Gee whiz. What a production.
You're the one who dropped the bomb.
They say adversity builds character.
I quit! I don't want to be the manager anymore!
Who wants to go through this every day?!
Nothing happened between Akemi and me.
Stop it. Not here.
I know I'm distrustful.
I can't help it.
We have nothing between us that I can base my trust on.
Can we talk a little more?
Don't you have work?
Please. How about while we walk?
Everything's been a misunderstanding,
and you'll see if you'd only listen.
But you have no faith in me, Kyoko.
So this is all my fault?
No.
But...
you're forgetting what's most important.
What is most important?
How I feel about you.
I love you.
I love you, Kyoko.
From the moment I met you.
now, and forever.
S-So, I need you to believe that.
T-This isn't fair.
It sounds like you're trying to deceive me.
No! How do I get through to you?!
But what about those other women?
I'm not smooth enough to court several women at once!
But--!
Can't you see that you're the center of my world?
You the only one for me.
Kozue?
Yotsuya!
What a coincidence.
Is something troubling you?
You look depressed.
No.
Oh.
How's Godai doing?
He's been looking like he's about to die
Since you dumped him...
Please. I'm the one who got dumped.
I hadn't heard!
It's Godai's loss, isn't it?
But I saw Godai and Akemi.
You're speaking of the hotel incident?
She had him come to lend her money
to pay her hotel bill?
Right. That's all it was.
Can't you see that you're the center of my world?
You're the only one for me.
I'm so exhausted from being too stubborn.
I want to be more true to myself.
More true to myself.
Come! Come on in!
Take advantage of our low prices!
Sir! For a low, low price-
I'm sorry!
Godai, you fool! What time do you think it is?
I'm sorry.
I was having a very important talk, and-
Her?
Right?
I'm sorry.
Why you little-
You got a guest.
Guest?
Chief!
Chief, you're late!
Sorry!
Kozue...?
Why did she come?
Let's play, Chief!
Let's do origami!
Sorry. Just a moment, okay?
I'm sorry. I must be interrupting your work.
I never thought you'd come to see me.
I heard the truth.
You just went to lend Akemi money for her hotel bill
and that nothing happened between you.
I'm sorry, Godai, for not believing in you.
I'm really sorry.
Please. I'm the one who should apologize to you.
Hey, Godai. Come.
Company Rule #2. Say it.
Yes. Private business is prohibited at the work site.
What's wrong with you?
First you come late because of your woman.
Then you're flirting in front of the kids.
I wasn't flirting.
There's something I need to make clear to her.
You're breaking up with her?
Then it's really something you shouldn't be doing
in front of the kids.
No.
There, there.
Sorry, sorry!
I was trying to comfort her.
Give her to me.
It's okay.
Good girl
You're so good, Godai!
You're going to make a great preschool teacher.
T-Think so?
Yes, I'm glad to see that.
I knew she came here to try to get back together.
But I have to make it clear to her,
or else I'll end up hurting her even more.
Are you warm enough?
I'm okay.
Kozue-
I...
Oh look! The moon is beautiful
It's beautiful
So, Kozue, there's something I need to tell you. Um..
I haven't said anything yet.
Godai!
Please don't hate me!
Please!
She cares for me that much?
But I have to tell her.
Kozue, I'm really sorry.
But I can't see you anymore.
I'm in love with someone else. I'm really sorry.
You have every right to be bitter.
Who? Akemi?
Oh, no! Not her.
Then who? Someone I don't know?
Well... um...
Are you going to marry her?
We're not at that stage yet, but I want to.
A-And so.. I can't continue to see you like this.
I see. I'm glad I came to see you.
I feel relieved.
I...
decided to get married.
Married? To the man you went to high school with?
Right after I saw you and Akemi,
I decided to marry him.
And I told myself that I wouldn't see you anymore.
Then I found out it was all a misunderstanding.
I didn't want us to part ways on a sour note.
I didn't want you to hate me after we go our separate ways.
But.
But now we're even.
I hope the man you're marrying is a great guy.
He really is.
I think he truly loves me.
So I know I can trust him.
Let's say bye here.
I'm going to hail a cab.
Say.
Congratulations.
Thanks. Bye!
What's she like? The woman you love?
- Well... - Wait!
Never mind. Good-bye. Take care.
Good-bye.
What's she like?
Kozue, the woman I love gets jealous
and quick to jump to conclusions.
She cries and gets angry...
but nothing makes me happier than seeing her smile.
Congratulations!
You're going to graduate!
Now all you have left to do is to find a job.
and propose!
It must be spring! I'm so envious!
Next: Spring is in the Air! Two Hearts in Love!!
Won't anyone marry me?
