Ah, Aiko-san, come!
Wait, wait, wait!
What? What? What is it? No, no, no, that hurts!
Look, I don't like these clothes all that much.
I don't want to stand before the Chef in these. Please let me change to a light blue color!
The Chef isn't in!
Eh? He's not?
Then that's okay. Eh, eh? Then what's this about?
Just come and you'll find out. Nevermind this and hurry!
Eh? What is it? Wait... Ah, close it, close it...
Yes, yes, come in! Yes, come in!
Matsushita Akira!
Oh!
Hello, it's been awhile. I'm Matsushita Akira.
Eh? What's going on? Eh? What's this about?
Lots of things happened since back then...
...and now I work for an electric repair company.
Eh? A company?
It's a one-man show. I'm its President and employees.
It makes things simple.
I see...
Let's do our best today and everyday.
Safety first!
If you don't feel like working, then I'll fire you. Go back to the countryside!
Mukojima Electric Company...
...will be closing on December 20th.
You guys are workers every bit the same as these girls!
Don't you understand how they're feeling?
I see... This is what you chose?
Yes.
Eh? You're the President? Eh? Matsushita Electric?
No, no Aiko-san, it's nothing like that.
That would be, wouldn't it?
Ah, I've got to work. When I'm done, we'll take that up next.
Can you do it, Matsushita-san?
I don't want to be told that by you of all people, Yatabe Mineko.
Eh?
That's true, isn't it?
Eh? Was Mineko that hopeless?
"Number 4, you reversed the transistors!"
"I'm sorry..."
Ehh...
Hide-san, why are you enjoying that so much?
That's enough of that talk already, geez...
Even now, just hearing "Number 4!" makes my heart skip.
Eh? It does? You've told me something good.
Aiko-san! Enough of that story.
Whaa!
Matsushita-san.
Safety First!
It's all clear!
This evening, they are going to Moondial on Sanae-san's suggestion.
Though it really would be dangerous for Setsuko-san to go to a place with crowds...
...she was eager to go.
So she is going in disguise.
But isn't there something different about Sanae-san from her usual?
No, all you do is joke around!
Welcome! Ah!
Hello.
Come in.
Ah!
Aren't you Kawamoto Setsuko?
Huh? Yer wrong! Ain't you just drunk?
Kawamoto Setsuko is far prettier than she is!
Yer right! She is far prettier than her!
Sorry! Forgive me, since I'm drunk.
I'll see you again!
Watch your step and be careful.
Bye-bye!
Thanks!
What was the meaning of that?!
Sanae-san...
Are you angry? You are angry, right? It's only normal, right?
Huh?
I'm not angry.
Right?
But it has been building up.
Building up? What has?
Well, I have kept quiet about it recently.
You have?
Why have you been keeping quiet about it?
Because something stressed me out.
Stressed you out?
What did?
I am a fan of hers, after all.
Eh?
Yeah.
I don't get it.
Thank you.
Ah, no.
Well, for all this time...
...I thought you lived in a different world from mine, but this morning...
This morning?
Eh? Ah...!
How do I put this... Well, you're a human like the rest of us.
Ah... Ah, I'm sorry!
Another...
Yes, yes.
And? What has been building up inside you?
Ah... what I want to say that has been accumulating...
Well, it's mostly about Mineko.
Eh... Eh?!
Ah... I thought it was about me.
Ah, well, you're included in it too, Setsuko-san.
Eh?
What is it, what is it? Please tell us. Please tell us.
Huh?
Um, it involves you a bit as well, Aiko-san.
Ah, my...
Most likely, Mineko...
...brought Setsuko-san to Akane Villa of her own accord.
She talked to us about it on the evening of that day.
It wasn't only for Minoru-san and her family back in Ibaraki...
...but unless Setsuko-san was properly happy as well, that just wouldn't do.
That's what you told us... isn't it?
Yes...
"Sad things will happen. Bad things will happen as well..."
"You mustn't run away from them."
"If that's so, then people will change after them."
"Then you could say, it's fine if sad events go on."
Wonderful. That's what I thought.
I even wrote it in my diary.
Your diary?
You wrote that down?
Something wrong with that?
Ah, no, I'm sorry...
And then Setsuko-san came to Akane Villa.
Up to that point, it was wonderful.
But that's as far as Mineko went with it.
Eh?
You left it half-finished. That's quite extraordinary.
It's been hard for you two to face one another and talk things out fully.
So when things got to that point, you two ran away from it.
I see... And? How am I involved?
Ah, it was Aiko-san's presence that made that possible.
Eh?
In other words... Hmm, how do I put this...?
Because you'll make friends with anyone right away, Aiko-san...
...that made it easier for both Setsuko-san and for Mineko to do what they did.
Ah...
I'm sorry...
No, you don't have to apologize.
I'm certain you aided in soothing Setsuko-san's feelings.
Right? Right? That's true, right?
But, if that's all you give...
...then the essential reality is that things will remain stuck in place.
I guess... I am sorry...
I want them to overcome this.
Both Mineko and Setsuko-san.
Have a proper heart-to-heart talk about the painful things...
When you're first able to do that, then as Mineko said about...
...how sad things become people's strength and won't negate that strength...
...then I wonder if you couldn't turn those minuses into pluses.
Therefore...
...I want to suggest a change in your room assignments.
Aiko-san, you live alone.
Yes.
Mineko and Setsuko-san live together. That is all.
Ah, I feel refreshed!
Very well.
Eh?
I think what Sanae-san said is right.
Setsuko-san!
Eh?!
Let's get along together!
Eh? Ah, well... um...
Huh?
Se-chan.
No, no...
Ah...
Let's get along together.
Then shall we have a toast to your change in room assignments?
Shall we toast to that?
Then, to changing rooms... Kanpai.
Kanpai!
Kanpai.
I have one more thing... to discuss.
Who is it about this time?
Me... It's about me.
My... love story.
Well, it wasn't my intention to tell anyone about...
...the person I was with...
...but I do want to talk about him somehow.
Please hear me out.
At last, Sanae-san's secret past...
What on earth sort of story is it?
