I've decided. I'm going to fall in love again.
If he wants to meet you on your birthday, something is definitely up.
(I can't forget my ex-boyfriend. 27 year old, stage lighter) If he wants to meet you on your birthday, something is definitely up.
If anything happens, you don't have to come home. (I can't forget my ex-boyfriend. 27 year old, stage lighter)
If anything happens, you don't have to come home.
And I'll believe I can find a good guy out there.
(I don't know real love. 24 year old, looking for a job) And I'll believe I can find a good guy out there.
- Yes. - Here. (I don't know real love. 24 year old, looking for a job)
Ah, sorry. (I don't know real love. 24 year old, looking for a job)
Then I'll be honest with Kisaki-san.
(They say I'm too serious. 22 year old, online shop employee) Then I'll be honest with Kisaki-san.
Didn't that virgin you went (They say I'm too serious. 22 year old, online shop employee)
- after pull back? - The virgin? Yeah, I think she's too serious. (They say I'm too serious. 22 year old, online shop employee)
- after pull back? - The virgin? Yeah, I think she's too serious.
- Right? - Yeah.
- Fujii. - Yeah?
I've decided to get married.
Huh?
Hello.
Hikari-chan. You're marrying Hikari-chan?
Yeah. I wanted to tell my close friend in person.
Shiraishi.
What happened? You didn't get an invitation
to eat at his place for your birthday?
Ah, he didn't call me to wish me a happy birthday.
- Huh? - He's...
He's getting married. To one of our clients.
- Huh? - He called me to tell me that.
He told you that on your birthday?
My birthday? He didn't wish me a happy birthday.
He probably forgot about it.
I'm going to bed.
- Fujii-senpai. - Hey wait.
- I think we should leave her alone. - But...
- Yes? - Emi, hey.
Keiko over at the Itos got married.
The groom is from your elementary school, Watanabe-kun.
I think they were friends since childhood.
I guess this happens, even with longtime friends.
- Hey Mom. I guess this happens, even with longtime friends.
- Hey Mom.
Emi, do you have any friends like that you can fall in love with?
Sorry. Today isn't good. I'm hanging up.
Huh? Emi? Emi?
(Can you be happy being more than friends, but less than lovers?)

Mmm, good.
- Morning. - Morning.
Hey! What? All this first thing in the morning?
Yeah. She woke up early and made it all.
Just like her. Haha.
(Breakfast is in the fridge. - Mako)
I didn't have anything yesterday so I was pretty hungry.
Of course. Getting all sad like that? Stupid!
You weren't going to marry him anyway. It's fine that someone got her.
Hey.
- Hmm? - I was thinking.
I think it might be worth it to stay close friends.
- Not a boyfriend? - Yeah.
We may not be going out but we can still be close friends.
Well they say love lasts for four years
but I've never heard of an expiration date on love.
Right? I think it's best.
- Fujii-senpai, did you bite this? - I did not. Want some?
- You did! - I didn't.
- It fits your mouth. - I didn't eat it!
Here's the sample you asked for.
Ah, thanks.
- Do you need another order? - Yeah.
- Got it. - Thanks.
Ah, good work today.
The parts came. Can you help Hasegawa in
the warehouse? I'll be there soon.
Okay.
- Good morning. - Morning.
- Morning! - Hey, morning.
- Hey? - Hmm?
Keep our talk yesterday a secret for now.
- Sure. - I want to find
- the right time to tell people. - Okay, got it.
- But... - What?
You don't deserve a cute girl like Hikari-chan.
- Come on Yu. - Shut up!
- Really! - What the hell?
- Really. Not at all! - Be quiet!
- Doesn't hurt! - Hey!
- What's going on? - Oh, nothing at all.
Some interesting gossip you won't tell me?
That's right. A secret between the two of us. Right?
- Right? - What's this secret between you two?
Well, no one could ever get between
- the two of you. - Of course you can.
Got it! You're talking about me.
So the Halloween event is taking place at a hotel.
There won't be too many outlets. And then...
Ah, wait a second.
Huh? Strange.
- The pen I gave you? - Yeah.
Sorry. Yes?
Ah, I left it in my clothes from yesterday.
Thanks.
And then you'll have to cover 60 kilometers so
- you'll probably need a freight car. - Okay.
This. This. And this.
(From Yamada-san. Maya-chan, yesterday was fun! Are you working tonight? If you are, I'll definitely go!)
(Come come! I'll be waiting for you until you get there.)
Yes? Yeah.
I said I got it. Yeah.
- Hey. - Yeah?
You want to go out to eat later?
- What, really? - It's okay!
My wife has been a bit cold recently. I've just been eating convenience store lunches.
(New employees interviews. Testing location.)
Used it for all the questions. Nice work.
Good work today.
I found a macrobiotic diet place,
- want to go today? - Yeah, sure!
- Mako, you'll come too? - Yeah, sure.
- Good work today. - Good work.
Oh Kisaki-san, do you want to eat with us too?
Oh, right.
Sorry. I have to head back actually.
Huh? Hey, Mako?
I can't keep up. Recently my girlfriend
- has been talking all about marriage. - Oh, I see.
She's starting to fill up that moat around the castle.
Ah, once that's done, it's over.
Your parents and relatives will all attack
and then before you know it you'll have to buy that wedding ring.
Really? Come on!
I still have a lot of life left to live.
That's right Takahashi-kun. You don't need to hurry.
Your life is still at 7 AM.
- My life is at 7 AM? - Right. Your life clock.
Divide your age by 3 and you'll find where you are on a 24 hour clock.
You can figure out where you are.
I see. I'm 21 so I'm at 7 AM.
We're 27 so 9 AM.
- Still in the morning. - Morning, huh?
So then Tamu-san, you're 3 PM.
Yes. Snack time. So then my life is at a break time?
Well, then time to rest. Excuse me.
- Yes? - A beer and you.
- Ah, okay. - Thanks.
(Hikari)
- You don't need to pick it up? - Uh, yeah.
- Excuse me, another beer. - Aren't you going a bit fast?
Then what happens when you turn 73?
- It's a 24 hour clock. - Well it
just goes back to the start. Like the game of destiny.
Game of destiny? That takes me back.
- Game of destiny? - What, you don't know?
- I don't. - It was a big thing.
The great game of destiny. Revolutionized board games.
Everyone would hold dice in their fist and throw.
It wasn't that big of a deal.
Oh, so you just ran into each other
- at the station? - Yeah!
I was just thinking I wanted to see Airi-chan and there she was.
- Right? - So things like that happen?
They do. It's fate.
Fate?
Sorry. Gotta go to the bathroom.
- Hey hey. - Yeah?
Did you really just run into him?
What? I just needed company
- so I followed him to the station. - Right.
Ah, sorry! Is your phone all right?
Let me test it. Megu-chan,
- let me call your phone with it. - Come on!
- Kawano-san, you're so easy to read. - What?
If you wanted to know my number,
you should just ask!
- You figured it out. - Give it to me.
So now,
you're my friend. Here!
Okay! From a regular customer to a friend!
And then from friends to falling in love?
- Maybe! - Nope.
Doesn't happen.
I'm home.
Welcome back. Want some coffee?
Yeah. Oh, hey.
I have something I want to show you.
What?
- A house? - Yes, our house.
I asked an architect I know to draw up some plans.
But a house? That's so sudden.
Not really. I've thought about this for awhile.
I said I wanted to make a house for us.
This is the living room. And here's the bedroom.
And room to change things if we need to rebuild in the future.
- I think we're okay here. - What?
I don't think life is too bad here.
- Isn't this enough? - Ah.
- Well, I'll think about it. - Okay.
- We'll take our leave here. - Okay, see you!
- See you tomorrow. - Yep.
Why don't they go out?
I think the two of them suit each other.
- Let's go here. - What!?
- Evening. - Welcome.
- Beer and ramen please. - Okay.
- Thanks. - Thanks.
Thanks. Oh oh oh.
They went out. 3 years ago. Once.
- What really? - Yeah.
But after two weeks, Hasegawa ended it.
2 weeks? Why?
- They said it was better to be good friends. - Good friends?
Yeah. I don't get it.
If it was me, I couldn't be friends with a girl like that.
I'd want to make her my own.
Hey, is something wrong?
- What? - Well,
you looked upset this afternoon.
Ah, yeah things are a bit rough.
Fought with Hikari-chan?
Uh, it's not really a fight.
Said I should meet her parents.
You should. You're getting married.
- This week. - That's a bit quick.
Right? Too quick.
But Hikari-chan's father is
a doctor. He might be pretty busy.
Well, she said I should go, even if I had to take time off.
What's the rush?
Hmm, she wants to introduce you
so she can start thinking about life after the wedding, right?
I'm already thinking about that.
My mom is in Sapporo.
But work is easier to find around here.
Someday I want to bring my mother down here.
But, that's still far off.
You just don't want to talk about it.
Yeah well, she said we could talk about anything.
She wants to know everything.
Why do you have to always tell women everything?
Well with men, if you don't say anything, they'll get it.
But with women, you need to be up front so they understand.
- Oh, that's deep Fujii-sensei. - I know.
- Who did you hear that from? - Won't tell you.
Haha.
Ah, I can talk to you about anything.
You should talk to Hikari-chan honestly.
She'll listen to you.
I can't. That's not cool.
Why can I talk to you like this?
I don't know.
I'm home.
Here's the layout for the Royal Hotel.
- Thank you. - Excuse me.
Ah, Misuzu-san. You have a call from an architect.
He was talking about plans for a house?
Ah, sorry. That's a personal matter. I'll take it on my phone.
What? Are you building a house?
Well, not for sure yet.
- That's nice. - Rumi-chan,
are you planning to be like her?
Me? I'm fine.
I'll have a regular person do my house.
- Haha, goodbye. - She's an honest one.
But that's great news.
You're able to run your life at your own pace.
That's what I thought I've been doing all this time.
Hmm?
Are you going to the station?
Yes.
- Excuse me. - Oh, Hikari-chan.
Ah, I have the newest pamphlet from the Royal Hotel.
- I came here to drop it off. - Thanks for that.
- You can leave it there. - Okay.
What's wrong? You don't look happy.
No no, I'm fine.
- I see. - Hey Fujii!
- Oh you're here? - Yeah.
What's up?
Ah right! I heard from the boss just now.
- He wants you and me to
- come up with the Halloween plan. - Really?
- Really! - Nice.
So he wants us to meet with the client soon.
- Good work today. - Good work.
- Good work.
Hanzawa-san. Do you have a moment?
Don't worry about what happened last time.
So,
I don't want you avoiding me all the time at work.
I mean, there are a lot of eyes watching at work.
Kisaki-san. Do you like me?
- Ah well... - If you do,
that's why you did what you did, right?
Well, I don't dislike you.
You're a cute coworker.
I figured we could start from being friends.
- I'm a virgin. - Huh?
You said the virgin was too serious. That was me, right?
- Kisaki-san! A moment? - Okay.
If you could go back to the way things were tomorrow, it would help me.
I'm sorry if I hurt you.
What is it?
From friends?
- That's just an excuse. - An excuse?
When a guy says they want to be friends,
it's just a polite way of rejecting you.
Just a nice way of saying
that he's not interested in you.
Well, guys just aren't good at rejecting people outright.
Hmm, I guess so.
But they say you can find a boyfriend from a friend.
No no. That's impossible.
- What about you? - Me? Well...
Nothing happened with Yu in the end.
But there is a chance that it could happen, right?
Well, anything is possible.
Hey, Mako. You and Fujii-senpai are different people.
With Fujii-senpai, they became friends after the fact.
- After the fact? - Right, your goal with him
- was to become friends. - Goal.
Well, it hurt back then but
- aren't things better now? - Yeah, they're not so bad.
I'd like to start off as friends then.
It's different for you.
If you start off as friends,
there's no chance you'll become anything more.
But Saki-senpai, you've said you've had
sex with friends, right?
Did you never think love could start from that?
- Seriously? - You haven't?
Well, looking at it,
maybe there's a chance things could be more than just friends.
But honestly, it's just a way to kill time.
I don't get it.
What? Something wrong? If you're so hesitant about things
you should just find some guy to do it with.
I can't do that!
Before you have sex, shouldn't you
check if the guy actually likes you?
So I want to see how Kisaki-san feels.
- Didn't you? - No...
You can't.
- He said that the virgin was too serious. - Oh, there it is.
You don't need to worry about all this.
Just go and do it.
You're really stupid.
Maybe I am stupid. But I'm better than you.
You're terrible.
If you keep doing this, you'll have your heart broken when
- you do love someone. - Stop it.
Love is just one big game.
That's why people keep saying you're serious.
That's fine! Love isn't a game
for me. I'd rather find a real love instead of what you have.
What the hell? Stupid girl.
Love isn't a game for me.
I'd rather find a real love instead of what you have.
Hello.
Ah hello. Saki? Doing well?
Ah, yeah.
Hey. Are you free today? Do you want to come to my place?
Yeah okay. When and where?
It's Halloween so the main color has to be amber.
Right. Use search and strobe lights,
I'd like to be something flashy for the opening.
Well, we have some other events we could use for reference.
If you have time do you want to go look tomorrow?
- Sure. - Okay?
Fujii.
Can you help check the equipment in the warehouse?
Okay. Sorry, gotta go.
Sure.
Yu-san, you're good friends with Fujii-san, right?
Ah, yeah.
There's something I don't get.
What is it? Heard from Tamu-san?
We went out for 2 weeks and then went back to being friends.
- That right? - I mean, how could you
break up with someone you get along with after just two weeks?
I mean, I'm still young but
I just don't get it.
Ah, well. I was the one who got broken up on.
Huh?
It's fine. That's the past.
What's next...
- Hey? - Hmm?
- Do you like me? - I do.
- Haha. - What?
- Are we friends? - Are we not?
Don't you think this is pointless? What we're doing.
I enjoy it. It's easy.
Do you think it's dishonest?
What's wrong? Don't be so cold.
It's easy for me.
Then fine. Let's make it easy.
But, that's...
It's not easy to understand each other.
It's easy to have no feelings.
You say we're friends but...
- There's no friendship here. - Then?
Sorry.
- I'm going home. - What?
- Yes. - Hanzawa-san?
You have a visitor.
A visitor?
- Tomoko! - Hey sis.
Why did you come to my work?
I figured you could treat me to lunch.
I can't. I packed my lunch.
- Then can I have some money? - You don't have any?
I do. That's for tonight's drinking party.
I can't. I don't make enough here.
It's fine. Come on.
- What? - Nothing.
- Nice to meet you. I'm Kisaki. - Oh, I got it.
- You like him. - What are you saying? We're friends.
- Friends? - For now.
He looks cool. I'll talk to him.
Stop it! How much do you need?
Hmm, 2000 yen?
Ugh, stingy.
I like to save money, unlike you.
If you keep acting all important your skin will dry out.
- Be quiet. See you. - Bye bye.
- Thanks for waiting. - Okay.
First, the opening event at Aqua Village.
- We'll go there. - Why?
This one is earlier.
- Why? This one is a better event. - Then why here?
So that's how things will go on Halloween.
Got it.
I'm heading home. Want to go back together?
Ah sorry. I still have some work left.
Ah, okay.
- See you. - Takumi.
About the house...
Won't you think about it again? Our married life and all.
We got married, but you were the one who said she
- wanted to stay independent. - I know but...
Things change over time.
They do.
Huh?
Hello.
Bus still isn't coming?
Looking for a job? Tough to be a student.
Ah, I'm not a student. I graduated 2 years ago.
Although, they're treating me like I just graduated.
Ah, I see.
So to the station?
- I don't really need to go there. - What?
I didn't really need a ride.
Oh, sorry! I must've forced you in.
Haha, it's fine.
I just feel like going somewhere.
Feel like going somewhere?
Then, do you want to hang out for a bit longer?
Huh?
I feel like going somewhere too.
Ah sorry. I don't mean anything weird by that!
Ah, I mean...
Sorry to be so casual.
Haha, it's fine! Better than the alternative.
Really?
- How nice. - Look!
Wow.
- Let's go in. - Yeah.
Thanks. A raffle ticket?
The dice of destiny!
Everyone, hello and welcome.
Wow, the LED's are pretty bright.
Yeah, we'll need to learn about this.
The point is we need to see how long we can light up before the cut in.
- Yeah. - Ah, Fujii-san!
Hey.
When you said there was somewhere
you wanted to go, I figured it would be a hotel.
Huh? Do I look like that kind of guy?
Do I look like the kind of girl who would go?
How mysterious.
How guy and girl find each other together.
And it all happened so suddenly.
We just met. Didn't even think about becoming friends.
I don't believe you can fall in love with a friend.
- Beautiful. - Yeah.
The sunrise is even more beautiful.
If anything is ever wrong, you forget it then.
Here.
Can I borrow it a little longer?
- Huh? - Ah.
- I'll give you this in exchange. - This!?
- Want me to use this? - Yep.
Now for our next winner.
Number 49.
Ah, right this way.
- Congratulations. - Hey, it feels a little weird.
Oh? Did I perhaps step on a land mine there?
Are you two going out?
- I got it. You guys... - Rumi-chan, Rumi-chan.
How come you guys are here?
Oh, I was trying to get this event.
- But I lost the deal. - Ah, I see.
Yeah.
I'm going to go look for my friends.
Okay.
Number 85. Is 85 here?
- 85? - Oh, I got it!
- Really? - Yeah.
- Number 85. - You're right!
- Over here! - Ah,
- congratulations, your gift... - Great.
This is a good one. A first edition of the game of destiny!
- Congratulations. - Haha, the game of destiny?
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- That's a nice gift. - I'll give it to Tamu-san.
Maybe he'll let Takahashi play.
Nice. Let mister 7AM study up on life.
Ah, I bet the boss would be pretty good at this.
He would be. He was serious about it.
I'm going to get a pamphlet.
- Oh, see you. - Yeah.
We'll have things back up soon,
please wait a moment.
Sorry for that, please wait a bit.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Ah, it got trampled on.
I can't give this to Tamu-san now.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
I'm glad. I thought a breaker was going to fall.
I was surprised.
Gotta be careful.
Fujii-san, are you okay?
Yeah, I am.
Huh? The box was stepped on.
I know. I wonder who did it.
Well, we'll have to be careful we don't make the same mistake.
Yep.
Ah, it's straight ahead on this street.
Got it.
- Ah, here. - Oh?
- Ah, sorry. - Oh.
- Is it okay? - Yeah, probably.
Let me see it, I'll test if it works.
Ah, okay.
- You really trust people. - Oh, really?
Ah.
- Oh, good. It works. - Good.
- Here. - Thanks.
Well, thanks for today.
Me too. It was fun.
Ah, that's my phone number.
- Huh? - Ogura Saki.
See you.
I'm home.
What's this? Food of desperation?
That's not the only thing.
Hmm, it's good.
It's fine, I just took a small bite!
- Not really, but... - Hmm?
- Here. - Thanks.
I'm home.
- Welcome home. - Welcome back.
- Here's a gift. - Huh?
- What's this? - Oh, wow.
- It's all beat up. - I know.
I couldn't protect it and it got beat up.
- Huh? - Can't be helped.
It's my fault. It's just me.
Hey, let's play. Since you got it.
Yeah! Hey, let's play, okay?
- Here it is. - Oh wow.
So that's how it goes.
Oh, marriage is this early?
Yeah.
This game is more than 20 years old.
But, even so, are we supposed to have
struggled this much in our life?
- There's still a lot of life left. - I know.
Still 9 AM.
- Huh? - Huh?
Ah, we're still in the morning of our lives.
Oh man, if you go here you have to go all the way back to start.
Wow, so it's like the beginning and the goal are together.
Ah, it's like what you said Saki.
- Huh? - Friendship. For Mako
it's a start. For me, it was a goal.
- Oh. - Chekhov wrote about it too.
A woman can only become a man's friend in three stages.
First, an acquaintance. Then, a lover.
And then finally, a friend.
That guy was deep.
- Yeah. - But for me,
I'd like to think there's love from friendship too.
I wonder if my goal is still there.
Saki-senpai?
- I'm going to start! - Hey!
- 5. - 5.
That's good.
- Hurricane blows your way... - Ah!
Back to the start.
- Fine. - Okay, Mako.
Three!
- Win the dance contest. - All right!
Yeah! Thanks.
Four. Take a health exam.
Pay 1000 yen and skip your next turn!
Skip my turn?
- Morning. - Ah, morning.
- Did you play the game? - I did!
3 girls all excited until late at night.
Wow, that's a little scary.
And I ended up getting divorced three times.
- Can't laugh about that. - But you are!
Well, it's fine.
- Well it suits you. - Hey, I haven't even got married.
- True. Gotta do that first. - Be quiet.
Would be nice.
Hmm?
It would be nice for me.
What are you mumbling about over there?
- Nothing. - Anyway, that game...
(More than friends, less than lovers. You can have the goal to start love then.) - Nothing. - Anyway, that game...
(More than friends, less than lovers. You can have the goal to start love then.)
(While things never get that bad, you'll also never be that happy.)
- Kisaki-san, here. - Huh?
If you'd like, please eat it.
- Uh... - Yes?
You are too serious.
- So it's because I'm a virgin. - That's not it.
No, it's your personality.
It's a bit too much for me.
Sorry.
Don't really have to change much.
Yes. Please make our moon viewing party a beautifully lit one.
Yes. Ah, right.
Can I take a look at your switchboard?
Sure.
Hikari-chan.
- Do you know her? - Ah, yeah.
Our Japanese restaurant there
is very popular with people doing
- marriage interviews. - Marriage interviews!?
