Did you know about this?
Eh?
Hmm... I guess.
Huh? What is that about? Why?!
"Why?" she asks... right?
Why?! I don't understand! Why didn't you tell me about this?!
We thought it'd be best if you didn't know about this.
Why?!
I only found out about this after your love was over, Mineko...
Those two drew a manga.
A shoujo manga using the young Mineko and Shimatani as their models.
Eh?
This is it.
Eh... is that right.
Tomi-san, did you know about this?
I had no idea.
Aiko-san, you knew about this, didn't you?
Eh? Eh?
What's more...
...that's quite clear from this cute rendition of you, isn't it?
Isn't that true, Aiko-san?
Yes. I'm sorry.
Geez...
That's unfair!
While I got...
Still, I wonder why? Even though they were so happy working on this.
Why did they give up on this one?
It's my fault, isn't it?
Why?
Somehow...
Because I made them feel responsible for my foolishness...
...and that things didn't turn out well.
That's over-thinking things, though.
I wonder if something happened...
Youth... and suffering
Waka sa yue kurushimi
Youth...
Waka sa yue
Ah, hello.
Good evening.
Huh?
My, my, my! They're both safe and sound.
But they don't know.
The wall of anger they'll face if they come back like this.
Since we're always just getting things from them.
We should do this once in a while!
Everyone at Akane Villa will definitely be surprised.
They will, won't they!
Yeah.
Ah, Masuharu-san.
Hello!
Oh, and a doggie, too.
Yo!
You should accompany the song we're singing.
Eh? Ah, sure. What's the song?
Our recent favorite has been The Jaguars, right?
The Jaguars
Yes. "I Want To See You."
One! Two! Three! Four!
Youth... suffers
Waka sa yue kurushimi
Youth... has troubles
Waka sa yue nayami
Huh?
Those voices...
We cry together again tonight
Koyoi mo futari naku
Over that day we can't forget
Wasurenu ano hi
That moment of memories
Omoide no ano toki
Our first time! To kiss!
Hajimete no! Kuchidzuke ni!
The joy of love I knew
Shitta koi no yorokobi yo
Comes back into my heart
Kaere shimobe no kono mune ni
My baby, want you Want you see again
Youth...
Waka sa yue
Oi!
Ah... Um...?
Where have you been these three days? All of us were worried about you.
Eh?
You were worried about us?
That's right.
And what was this just now about?
That stupid "Want to see you again" song.
Ah... I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Are you... okay?
Yes. We were working a part-time job at a construction site.
For a full 3 days worth of work, we got 6,000 yen each! Yes. Right?
That's right.
In that case, tell me so before you go!
I was so worried about you!
Eh?
Ah...
Don't cry.
Because...
...we've never had people who were worried about us.
Right?
Never thought there would be...
We're happy... right?
Yeah... I'm happy.
We're happy.
So happy...
Geez, all right already. Break it up.
You're giving us the creeps here. Hey!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
Ah, um...
Here...
Since we're always accepting food from you...
...we thought we'd get all of you something to eat.
My... that's takoyaki, isn't it?
It's tasty.
Eat up, eat up!
Please eat your fill! Mineko-san, don't hold back either!
Is now a good time?
Is the atmosphere for a good talk over yet?
Maybe it would be okay.
Shall we discuss this next then?
Ah!
I'm very sorry!
It's okay though.
Ah... thank goodness.
It's okay; thank goodness.
Huh?!
Ah... I'm sorry.
Are you sure? Using me...
Are you sure about doing my story?
What do you mean?
Our editor did tell us that it was pretty interesting, too.
Really?
Yes. He laughed at it.
He laughed at it?!
Ah, no...
In that case, it's fine.
Ah... it's just...
It's just?
It's just it's come to a bit of a standstill, somehow.
A standstill? What's that about?
It's a little "drab" now, he said.
Huh?
It lacks excitment...
Huh?
He wondered if it wouldn't be best if she quickly found a new love.
Huh? Don't stick your nose into my business!
Ah, no, no, um...
That's what the editor told us. Yes.
Saying a person's life has come to a standstill is quite rude.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
I'm sorry. That's just what he told us. Yes.
Sorry for being drab!
Ah... that song you were singing earlier...
Change the "Wa" to "Ba" in the lyrics and then try singing it.
It will become your song.
Huh? From "Wa"...
...to "Ba"?
Youth...
Waka sa yue
Youth...
Waka sa yue
Fools...
Baka sa yue
Suffer
Kurushimi
Youth...
Waka sa yue
Fools... have problems
Baka sa yue nayami
That's true.
They admitted to it.
Fools... suffer
Baka sa yue kurushimi
Fools... have problems
Baka sa yue nayami
I'm... lacking in excitement, aren't I?
I'm drab, aren't I?
Huh?
Ah, nothing...
What's up?
Well...
Somehow...
...I'm thinking, "I've got nothing."
I ask myself, "What am I doing?"
I'm sorry.
Is that right.
You've found your Father, haven't you Mineko?
Yes.
I don't really know the details, but weren't you going back to Ibaraki someday after doing that?
Well...
Do you want to go back?
Well...
I'm not really sure.
Don't quit... Suzufuritei.
Eh?
Don't quit it.
