Serial TV Story
You drew this, Keisuke.
What are you doing?
Ah! Ah!
Huh?
What are you hiding?
Huh?
Eh?!
What are you taking about?
Right?
We can't it to show you.
Oi!
Why, when I'm playing dumb about it, do you say you'll show it to her for?
Ah!
Geez...
Here.
Huh? What's this?
Love's Novice
Ah...
Yes.
Mineko-san was the model for this manga.
It's about a girl who comes from Ibaraki to Tokyo...
...who then falls in love with a young rich man...
...and who becomes happy. It's a Cinderella story.
Hmm...
Thank you for waiting. Excuse me.

Thank you very much.
What's with you? What is this?
Taka-chan, has something good happened to you?
It has.
Eh?
What is it? What "something" has happened?
I'm not telling!
Anyhow, it's just that you picked up a 10 yen coin, isn't it?
Wrong! But I'm not telling!
Eh?!
Just tell us. It's no fun when people don't tell when something good has happened.
That's not tr...
It is!
I understand those feelings you have.
I used to be like that. But now I'm different.
But I ain't telling!
Oh, really!
And? What about you, Mineko-chan?
Huh?
Are things going well between you and Shimatani?
Eh? Eh?!
Is it okay? To tell my "things are going well" story?
No, we've figured it out already.
Why not? Please hear me out.
Because it's boring.
Happy stories are boring. Right, Hide?
Well, I don't want to think the same as you, Sempai. I'm unwilling.
White Cat
Shogo's Daughter Yuka
Please excuse me.
Thanks.
Ah... he's late...
Welcome.
Dad.
Yo.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
No.
Did you find this place right away?
Yeah.
A coffee.
Shimatani's Father Takeo
Yes, certainly.
Ah! Then I'll have a coffee too, please.
Yes.
About the new drug we were going to release within the year...
The production license was never issued to us.
It's a shame since it was a development project the company was basing its future on.
Due to this current event, even the banks are telling us...
...it would be difficult for them to continue financing us.
That's the current situation at the company. You understand, right?
Yes.
It's all my responsibility. My forecasts were too naive.
No, I don't think so.
I don't think anyone could have predicted that.
For the sake of our company and its employees...
...I think we'll have to press forward with development of the next new drug.
To that end, we'll just have to raise funds from outside.
I think so, too.
Once you graduate, I'll want you to help out at all sorts of things.
Do you remember Sayuri-san, the only daughter of the President of Taketomi Pharmaceuticals?
Yes.
When I was in high school, she and her Father came to our house the once.
She's a fine young lady, isn't she?
Yes. Well...
They're offering a marriage between you and her.
Eh?
No, please wait a minute.
Just as you told me earlier...
...we can't bewilder our precious employees into thinking they'll be abandoned.
To that end, I want to bring in help from Taketomi Pharmaceuticals...
...in the form of a merger, if possible.
You simply cannot turn down this marriage engagement.
Just a minute, please.
Huh?
I have... someone I love.
I have been dating her.
Of course my social standing is still that of a student...
...and while I think it's still a ways off...
...I do feel she's the one I want to marry someday.
What sort of girl is she?
Her name is Yatabe Mineko-san. She lives at the same apartment house as I do.
She works at a restaurant.
She's someone who is living seriously...
...and is a wonderful woman.
My name is Yatabe Mineko. It's nice to meet you.
A girl you've come to like. I'm sure she must be a wonderful girl.
Yes.
But, Jun'ichiro.
As for me, I believe people are happiest when they are with people who are close to...
...the people and environment they were born and raised in.
I don't think that will change even if the times change.
Both I and your Mother feel that way. Our parents decided our marriage.
When we first met each other, that had already been decided for us.
But...
...there is no parent who would suggest a partner for their son who wouldn't bring them happiness.
Just understand that.
Let's move forward with this engagement. Help me out.
I'll even do this.
Please stop.
There's still time before my flight.
Want to have some sushi? We won't talk about this during it.
Tell me all about the university. Okay?
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the food.
Thank you very much.
Welcome.
Sorry, sorry! It suddenly got busy for some reason.
Eh? Ah... it's Yasuharu, huh...
Huh? What is this? You're the one who called me out.
Something came up and I have no time for you.
Huh?
Ah...
What on earth should I do?
About what?
I'm concerned...
Huh?
Look, there's a Yatabe Mineko at Suzufuritei?
Yeah. What about Mineko?
She's going out with a university student at her same apartment house, right?
It seems so.
What is it?!
It's a big deal you don't even know about.
Huh?
I'm leaving. You pay for this.
See you again.
Eh?
Hold on! What is this?!
Thank you very much.
Eh?!
If she wanted an omelet, she could've eaten that at her home.
Thank you for waiting. Your omelet.
Thank you very much. Um, could I have some cold water?
Yes, I'll get you some.
One Beef Croquet for Table 5!
Beef Croquet!
Mineko! The Hash and Rice is done!
Coming!
Let's move forward with this engagement. Help me out.
I'll even do this.
Why do I have to do this?
It has nothing at all to do with me.
What happens with that country girl's love is no concern of mine, right?
It doesn't matter to me, right?
Then I'll be going!
Thanks for your hard work.
Okay...
Croquettes today, croquettes tomorrow...
I hate this... What am I doing?
Have a good night!
Good night.
Mineko, you worked hard again today.
Thank you for your hard work.
Whaa?!
You're easygoing, aren't you?
Eh?
Hello.
Look.
Yes. What is it?
I really hate this sort of thing, but...
What is called "meddling." I absolutely loathe that sort of thing.
What are you talking about?
Come out with me for a bit.
Eh? Well, um, no! No! I'm scared!
Just come!
I won't! Why should I!
Because it's about you!
About the love between you and that university student.
Eh?
Let's go!
Ah...
