Serial TV Story
Excuse me...
Huh? Oh, it's you, Mineko-chan.
That's being changed?
Yeah, seems so.
Wonder if Kawamoto Sachiko just isn't working out anymore?

Here. Thanks for waiting.
Thank you very much.
Then, since we have our drinks.
Then... to whatever. Yes, Kanpai.
Kanpai.
Eh?
Huh?
Eh?
Huh?
What is it?
Eh?
You're at Kashiwagi Sweets now? You're working there, Yuka?
Yeah.
Why?
"Why" you ask...
Because...
I went to my home thinking I'd just show my face...
...but that was as far as I could get.
What is that?
Huh?!
I don't get it.
Then what's this about getting a job?
Eh? Do Suzuko-san and the Chef know about it?
They don't.
Eh?
In other words, by working at Kashiwagi Sweets...
...you're waiting there for either the rumor to get around or maybe just by chance...
...Suzuko-san and the Chef will come over...
...and then they'll say, "Yuka, what are you doing here?"
Well... that's it.
Whaa... such a pain in the neck.
Isn't she?
What is this?
It's said that human beings are pain-in-the-neck creatures.
That's true, isn't it?
Yeah. That is how the saying goes.
Right?
But, there are two types of pain-in-the-necks.
The type who too-easily empathizes with people.
In other words, they'll say, "Well, I see. I understand"...
...and are the "too-easy to empathize" pain-in-the-neck.
And then there's the can't-empathize type.
They think, "I don't know, I don't care, do what you want"...
...so they're the "can't empathize" pain-in-the-neck people.
Which one am I?
Which do you think you are?
The empathize...
...too-easily type?
Eh? I'm not?
And? When Shizuko-san and the Chef do come, what do you intend to do?
I won't know until that time comes.
For such a pain-in-the-neck, you're one sloppy thinker.
What is that, geez!
Still, working is surprisingly fun.
Ah, come and eat there.
Eh? Really? You'll give us some extra?
Eh? Really?
For the snow cones...
...I'll give you some extra ice.
Eh? What's that?
Snow cones, huh... I'd love an adzuki snow cone...
They're delicious; come over and have some.
Ah, but I can't, I can't! Can't have sweets; I'll get fat.
Eh?
That's right.
Since Twiggy is your opponent anyhow, right?
Yes.
I miss out on a lot.
Could it be you've entered that Twiggy Contest, Tokiko?
Yeah, I got in.
I've entered it and I'll definitely win it. I'm gambling my life on it.
Eh? You are?
Yeah.
Root for me.
Ehh...
Is that right... Ehh...
Right now I'm practicing walking like this...
I'm practicing walking the stage like this. What's more, in high heels, too!
Oh!
I'm practicing for the actual production.
And then I have posture training. To make myself look dignified.
That's great, Tokiko.
And then I've been giving a lot of thought as to what to say.
But that's difficult...
And? Yuka.
Eh?
You've entered it too, haven't you?
Eh?
Eh? Haven't you?
I thought so as well.
Eh? Is that true?
Have you entered it, Yuka?
I guess... I just came across an application for it and it looked fun.
Ohh...
Ehh...
But I'll drop out.
Eh? Why?
Eh? Because...
Because... ah...
It'd be wrong to steal the win from you.
Look, since we're friends. Right?
Huh? What is it?
You were confident of winning for a moment.
But once you saw Tokiko, you felt nervous about that.
She's prepared for it, is invested in it and has the right attitude...
You figured the difference between you two was so great it was hopeless.
And that's why you'll quit.
And you didn't want to battle against Tokiko, who you had just made friends with.
More importantly, you felt it'd be best if you cheered for Tokiko with the rest of us, didn't you?
But you just couldn't bring yourself to say that.
Right?
Is that true?
It is.
What's with you, geez!
Pain-in-the-neck.
This is being an "empathize too-easily" pain-in-the-neck, right?
Well, that is true.
Be sure to win, okay?
Yeah.
Good evening.
Ah, welcome!
No way... Ah, sorry, gotta go for a bit...
Is it him?
Be careful, okay?
1 Hour Later
Thanks, as always!
Wonder if... Sanae-chan went home?
Guess so, huh?
Weekly Gossip
Kawamoto Setsuko Having Money Troubles
Well, seems she's got it tough.
Eh?
Kawamoto Setsuko?
She does?
Won't you read it?
Because you hate her?
No, I don't hate her.
Is that right.
It's because I don't hate her that I don't want to read it.
After all, that sort of magazine only writes about bad things, right?
Ah...
Well... it is that sort of magazine.
Then I don't need to read it.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
You're back.
Let's see... since I'm feeling thirsty... give me a beer, please.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Kind, aren't you?
Eh?
You haven't asked anything about what I did.
Because it doesn't feel like you want to tell us.
That's true, huh?
Then I'll trust in your words.
Eh?!
What was that about?
Wait a while for it.
Since I'm a bit upset and can't speak very well right now.
Can't be helped, right? We'll wait.
Right?
Right.
That's right.
Thank you.
That way I can be the slightly cool, mysterious beauty.
Huh?
Seems a new breeze has started blowing for Sanae-san as well...
And tonight, for this one as well...
It's not working.
Though we were just getting into the thick of the story.
No, not these manga artists.
Aiko-san.
But not her.
Right, for Tomi-san.
Tomi-chan?
Tomi-chan?! Eh? Tomi-chan, what's the matter?
Ah... Ai-chan.
Eh? Are you ill? Oh no, what's the matter?
Ah, I'm not ill.
Eh?
Sorry, sorry. There's nothing wrong with my health.
Really? Thank goodness.
Then, what is wrong?
Starting around evening... I've been getting this feeling you could call a "premonition."
A premonition?
Yeah.
Ah...
A premonition of death.
Eh?
A premonition of death just now.
Whose?
Of the man I loved...
The most important one of my life.
Eh?
You can sense that?
Since I loved him...
Suzuko-san!
Aiko-chan...
Tomi-chan!
What's the matter?
Just now there was a flash news story on TV...
Matsunaga-san... has passed away...
I see...
Could it be... Tomi-chan, you...
I... felt as much just now.
I see...
He has died.
I see.
