Here you go.
Thank you very much.
I'm truly very sorry for the trouble this has caused you.
Not at all.
The Beer Garden was fun, wasn't it?
Yes, I enjoyed it...
Ah, but...
Don't all of them hate me?
Um... Since I'm the one who gave a terrible experience to Mineko-chan.
That's not true. None of them thinks that...
After all, Mineko brought you here herself, didn't she?
Yes.
Why did Mineko do that?
She said she had no choice but to.
Since she didn't want a sad event to happen to Yatabe Minoru-san again.
And for that sake...
...she said it just wouldn't do unless I became happy...
Ehh...
Is that right.
Yes.
She had no choice but to...
Mineko... has been thinking such things...
Yes.
Then... you must become happy, right?
Yes...
That's true, isn't it?
She had no choice but to...
...stop a sad thing from happening...
...with her own hands.
Yeah...
Setsuko-san looked happy, didn't she?
That's true, isn't it? She had an incredible smile on.
Right?
She'll have lots to arrange for, won't she?
Like personal belongings...
She came here with nothing, didn't she?
Yes...
At the time we were about to leave, Setsuko-san brought out...
What do you call that thing? It's like a box...
Ah, a suitcase?
That's it!
She was gonna bring this huge, heavy one! "No, no, no!" I said...
"What are you thinking?! You can't bring that!"
Mineko.
Yes?
You've changed a bit recently, Mineko.
Eh?
She has, hasn't she?
I have?
Thank you very much.
When I say you've changed, I wasn't particularly saying it was for the better.
Ah, I see...
Ah!
What's the matter, Aiko-san?
Why don't you stay in this room today?
Here?
Yeah.
I'm truly sorry about this.
It's like I've suddenly forced myself on you...
Truth is, I should have something for you as a greeting...
I've received it.
Eh?
Because you came, I got to eat a lot of gyoza.
So essentially, I received it from you.
Ah...
Thank you very much.
Ah Setsuko-san, come upstairs.
Ah, yes.
Tomi-san, thank you very much for the room.
Not at all.
Have a good night.
Good night.
Have a good night.
It's right upstairs.
Ah, yes.
Hurry, hurry!
Come in.
Today, all of us will be sleeping here.
We'll be sleeping in quite the huddle though.
Sounds so fun!
Setsuko-san will be next to me. And here are some pajamas.
They're mine, but please feel free to use them.
Thank you very much.
The one with the worst sleeping position!
Ah, that would be Mineko.
Eh? Really?
Don't give me "really?"
No way!
I don't move even an inch when I sleep.
Eh? That's scary.
Ah, Aiko-san sings when she sleeps.
Please don't be shocked by it.
Don't, geez! She's lying!
I'm not lying. She sings "Downtown Sun."
"Downtown Sun."
She's not lying, but that's a lie!
Um, sorry, but can I ask one thing? Just one.
What is it?
Since we're all accomplices in doing it...
...I suspect you haven't noticed this, but...
Accomplices?
Yeah.
Most likely you haven't noticed it, but this room...
...absolutely reeks of garlic...
Ah!
Eh? What is it?
This is like the young maiden's dorm, isn't it?
Isn't it?
"Young maiden's dorm"?
The dorm at the factory where we worked before.
I took good care of them there.
Well, guess you could call me a young maiden for a little longer...
Setsuko-san, I want to talk to you about movies.
Sure.
Thank you very much.
And then, just as I was giving my performance...
...the Director came running out shouting, "Cut! Cut!"
"Set-chan, you're steaming," he said.
Since the role called for me to be angry, I thought I was being praised...
...but steam was actually coming from my head with a whoosh.
You really were steaming?
I was!
The lighting had gotten too hot and steam was coming from my head. Whoosh!
Dad...
...even I'm a bit surprised about what I did.
You've changed a bit recently, Mineko.
Have I changed just a bit?
Someone's happiness can link itself to lots of other places too, can't it?
How's this for Setsuko-san?
Ohh... That's good, isn't it?
Really?
Yeah.
Ah, somehow I really don't know...
...in just what direction this will go...
...but it's interesting, so we should do it, right?
We should.
I did have a little idea for it, though.
What is it?
A story line of Mineko-san and Hide-kun. It's possible...
...that it could go that way.
What do you mean?
Ah! That had crossed my mind as well.
Thank you very much for today.
No. It was nothing.
Still, there is that, isn't there? We got it done, didn't we?
Yes.
I understood what you meant when you said you had the shoulder width.
Don't I?
Yes!
My broad shoulders helped, didn't they?
Yes!
I went like this, ahh!
But yours are incredible. Totally different from mine.
Of course they are. You're a woman, after all.
I'm a woman?
You're a woman.
Ah... is that right.
It might be best to draw that possibility.
We should, right?
Right here.
It's certain Mineko-san said this.
Thank you very much
Yeah.
But, look...
How about this?
Thank you very much
I'm glad I got to meet you Hide-san.
"I'm glad I got to meet you Hide-san."
It's perfect!
Really? You think so?
I do, I do!
Ohh!
Hide, how about it? Are you happy?
Eh? Well... yes.
How about you, Kuniko-san?
Hmm... I'm happy.
I see... You've become happy.
Just what is my happiness?
How should I know? Think that out for yourself.
Ehh... I have no idea! I hate thinking!
Then you're not happy?
That must be it!
Hey, what's with this feeling I'm being neglected?!
This has been a great night, hasn't it?
It has been, hasn't it?
Say.
Eh?
Shouldn't we just decide on it?
I understand you're worried about all the things that could happen, though.
Still, we'll be here with all them, won't we?
We'll manage somehow, won't we?
Yeah...
Right?
All right.
Okay! Let's drink to it.
Kanpai.
Oh my, just what has this couple decided on?
The answer to that will come a little while from now.
It's a nice night.
Yeah.
Please look at this!
What's the matter?
It's an article about Setsuko-san...
...but there's something about me here! About me! This, "She ran away together with..."
"...a middle-aged woman dressed like a maid." What is that?!
Grand Daytime Escape From Her Apartment Drama!
Her helper was a middle-aged maid...
They're saying I'm middle-aged?!
What do they mean by that?! That's being way too rude...
There's nothing funny about it, geez!
Hide's in the photo, too!
