Good morning Sadaoka-kun.
-Morning. -Would you like to go out for a drink tonight?
-Eh, why? -We said that we would
the other day, didn't we. -Ah, yes, I see.
I'll see if Haruko wants to come too.
Well then, see you.
This spring, he's headed towards being
the most popular he's ever been.
Even under normal conditions, he's 3 times more popular than you.
You understand that if you're half arsed, you don't stand a chance.
Good morning.
Who was that man you were talking to just now?
What? Um... er... He's just someone I know a little.
Would you stare that intently at the back of someone 'you know a liitle.'
-Are you planning in killing him? -No I'm not!
I can clearly see the flames of hatred.
I played baseball back in high school. In the final match
we lost because of a hit he made.
And so maybe that's why I looked like that.
-He's hiding something. -No I'm not.
-You've been acting weird recently. -In what way?
At the BBQ the other day, you said there was something
you just had to buy with the 100,000 yen.
Well that was...
If a man is talking about spending a large sum of money
on a Louis Vitton purse or a Givenchy Nightingale then
clearly they have someone in mind. -That's the first I've heard that.
Makoto-san have you got yourself a girlfriend?
-No, no, no, I haven't. -It's not good to be keeping secrets from first thing in the morning.
It's true I tell you. I swear to god!
Very suspicious.
Sekihara-san first off, what's a 'Nightingale?'
In order, these are what people are looking for in a marriage partner.
Personality, looks, income, values, humour and reliability.
There were many responses for unusual things like
'compatibility with the mother-in-law.' 'tied together by destiny' and 'survival knowledge'
I'd just like to say I didn't respond with 'survival knowledge.'
-No-one thinks you did. -What really?
Next, we look at the top 6 items and asked people
to rate on a scale of 1-5 how important the item was.
This is a graph showing the averages.
In the previous ordering, personality came in the top position,
more so than income or looks.
Looking at the chart, it made me think of Sadaoka-kun.
Really? Why?
Everyone is looking for this sort of person
but such a perfect person doesn't exist, and so we give up.
But Sadaoka-kun, hits on all points on the hexagon.
You making way too much of him.
He doesn't stand out on any one point, but they are all above average.
It's not often you find a man with such a lovely hexagon.
If you think so highly of him why don't you ask him out?
What are you saying!
Sadaoka-kun's clearly into you, I'm cheering you on.
-I heard him say it the other day. -He'll say just about anything,
when he's had a few.
He was awful back at our school reunions.
A superior property like this,
might not come along again you know.
A superior property?
I've known him since high school, so he's a property I'm very familiar with.
Could it be,
it's going well with your destined person?
-No, that's not what I mean.
-So anyway, what about him? Yeah....
I don't think he's a bad man.
But to be honest I don't really know.
I understand. Leave it to me.
-No, I don't want to. -Which is more suitable for Haruko,
today I will determine the answer with my own eyes.
-It's not about that. -It's best to get this sorted out quickly.
You have to put a deposit down on Sadaoka-kun,
or before you know it, he'll be snapped up by another buyer.
Let's hurry.
Ah looks good.
-There's more dishes coming. -It's delicious isn't it.
-You've got a good appetite haven't you. -Sorry to keep you waiting.
Yay! -Here you go.
-It's quiet today isn't it. -It is indeed.
Tokyo's official population figures might be a lying.
Ponzu is a soy-sauce and citrus juice mix. Masaki-kun, you've only been having ponzu for a while now.
-Me too. -You don't use sesame seed oil?
-Ponzu definitely tastes better doesn't it. -Yes.
So there are people who don't use sesame seed oil.
It's unusual for a woman not to like it.
shabu shabu : thinly sliced meat boiled with vegetables and dipped in sauce. Anyway, when you eat 'shabu shabu' sesame seed oil is a heresy isn't it.
-Yes. -The issue is how you do it, isn't it?
I've have a feeling you'd ruin the taste of the ingredients.
But Mitsue, you put ketchup on potatoes.
That's because it brings out the flavour.
-You add ketchup? -I do.
Really... I see.
Since your interests are in line, why don't you go out together?
-What! Why? -I don't use ketchup.
-Me neither. -What?
Anyway, aren't you being rude?
To be rejected like that, when it was just a throw away comment. It feels pretty bad.
No, that's not what I meant at all.
It's was the most you've said all day.
If we don't take out the meat it'll go hard.
I think maybe I'll try some ponzu for a change.
Well then, maybe I'll challenge myself too.
-Traitor. -No, no, I'm joking.
-So what shall we drink next? -Ah, another please.
-Me too! -Well then, me too.
Okay then, another round please.
Everyone's okay with the same thing?
Sadaoka-kun's, so thoughtful isn't he.
He's skilled at cooking the meat too.
He calls for more drinks at just the right time.
-He's always liked looking after people. -Shall I get some salad?
No, that's not what I mean.
-Are you still angry? -I'm not especially angry.
I'm just saying how exceptional Sadaoka-kun is.
So what do you do on your days off?
On my days off?
Erm... well I do the cleaning and washing.
I'm talking about your interests.
My interests? My interests... erm various things...
Coo coo coo.
Rain of tears is...
Could it be... It's!
-It's my first time hearing the guitar version. -Coo coo coo.
Our feet got wet...
The silk hat, 1, 2, 3...
Put in lots of hatred and sadness.
Cover it with a scarf. 1, 2, 3.
A pigeon flies out.
Silk hat, 1, 2, 3.
Put in lots of hatred and sadness.
Shut up!
Cover it with a scarf 1, 2, 3.
A pigeon flies out. Coo, coo.
-Flap, flap, flap... -Don't fly out!
Welcome home, Makoto.
This tune's famous.
What? Are you picking a fight with me?
I see. You don't like folk music?
It's nothing to do with the genre. And also,
could you please stop casually using my first name.
Makoto, just like Sadaoka-kun, you must make music your ally.
I have to write and sing my own song too you mean?
Singing's not enough to make music your ally.
There's something else you should do, isn't there.
What?
Didn't you proclaim to her that,
you'd come to like classical music. How about it?
You bought such an extravagant CD, but you've still not even opened it.
That's because I've been busy recently.
Don't you understand how taking the time
to get to know a person's passions, can move them.
I didn't say anything about not doing it.
Okay then, within the week, memorize all of these
songs and composers. -What?
-That's clearly impossible. -There's 100 songs.
If you do 20 songs a day, you can do it in 5 days.
Don't make it sound so easy!
Happiness doesn't come to those who can't love music.
So then, if I memorize them all,
I can find happiness right?
Give me the name and composer of this tune.
I've heard it before...
It's 'The Wedding March' by Mendelssohn
Will it be you or Sadaoka-kun
who hears this song with her. The answer is...
The remaining 99 songs and composers, when you've memorized them completely
it will naturally guide you the way.
You're telling the truth aren't you.
-Your final answer? -That should be my line!
The composer's Mussorgsky. 'Pictures at an Exhibition'
Right, Mussorgsky.
Sekihara-san.
Sekihara-san, listen to me for a moment.
-Why? -My fortune this morning...
I got 'Reasonably Lucky'!
-I got 'Great Luck.' -What really?
What? So then my 'Reasonable Luck'
came by way of you? -And so therefore it's 'Slightly Lucky'
Good grief, how awful. I shouldn't have told you.
This again?
Don't look at me like that. Don't look at 'Slightly Lucky' like that.
What is this 'morning fortune?'
At the company next door, they have an employee called Yotsuya
who's tall and slender and smells fabulous.
With the utmost respect we call her 'Fragrance Tower'
If she's in the elevator with you in the morning that's 'Great Luck'
If she's not there, but there's a lingering scent. That's 'Reasonable Luck.'
If you pass someone on the street who smells the same, that's 'Forthcoming Luck.'
On the days when you get 'Great Luck' you're certain to get a contract.
-Certainly she's the goddess of good fortune. -Otherwise known as
'Fragrance Venus'
There's something wrong with the both of you.
You're the only one allowed in and out of next door.
Please get on good terms with Yotsuya-san as soon as possible.
Ah, yesterday,
I just happened to go drinking with her.
Sekihara-san! We have an issue!
Why didn't you call us?!
I didn't know the two of you were so interested in her.
Are you saying that 'Great Luck'
has been visited upon a hateful Japanese man.
Are you talking right now about fortune?!
-You understand Makoto, don't you! That luck you have,
could you spread it out a little to us?
Ah, but I think
that as a result of yesterday, they hate me.
-You want to monopolize them right. -No, no, no, that's not it.
Could it be you're... The Fragrance Devil?!
What?
-Yes. -Thank you.
-So yesterday, it became clear didn't it. -What did?
Without a doubt it's Sadaoka-kun.
Please don't make decisions about my life.
In comparison, your man of destiny... well there's nothing.
If you put him next to Sadaoka-kun I can see his distorted hexagon
all the more clearly.
I don't particularly think of him as distorted.
Attentiveness, positiveness, humour and the like, across the board they're at a low level.
Only 'destiny' is abnormally high.
This is commonly known as the 'telescope' form or the 'pointy hat' type.
It's a destructive chart formation.
Since when did you become a critic?
Look here, destiny is only fun in the beginning.
But when it comes to marriage, going out into town,
and meeting someone by chance, is nothing but trouble.
That does seem to be the type of hexagon that suits you though.
I'm aware of that, for me, that's the kind of shape I like.
I like it too, but it can be too sharp. It can hurt sometimes.
-It's stings! -Ouch!
-I'll have miso noodles. -Okay.
I'm Masaki of Welcome water. Thank you for always looking after me.
Is President Takada in?
-Please wait a moment. -Okay.
Offenbach. 'Heaven and Hell'
Masaki-kun, you know your classical music?
Ah, no not really,
Recently I been dabbling in it a little.
They often play that at sports events.
But I never thought that the title of that cheerful tune
would be 'Heaven and Hell'!
-Indeed. -But sports events
were hell for me. I hated the sound of the starting pistol.
Some people are like that aren't they.
Would a whistle be no good?
Who knows? It might be a problem with the atmosphere or something.
And the Tug of war, pulling so hard together...
I wonder what does it mean...
-Ah hello -Masaki-san is it?
Ah yes, about the contract.
I wanted to ask if you'd be taking one up?
Ah, sorry about that, but it's impossible.
Pardon? How do you mean impossible?
After consideration, I don't think it's necessary.
But president...
It can't be helped.
I'm sorry. Yesterday,
he said he'd take out several large contracts.
Certainly it's in sync with the hold music.
-What? -'Heaven and Hell'
Is that what you mean?
-Pardon?! What are you saying? -Ah, well...
It's nothing, I'm sorry.
-Good work today. -You too.
-Are you heading home already? -Japan's playing a match at 7:00 so...
There's a match today?
-A rugby match. -You like rugby too...
-Well then. -Good work today.
-Goodness, I'm sorry. -No it's nothing.
Ah, let me take this opportunity to
thank you for taking up a contract with us.
No need, we should have done it much earlier.
My staff all seem to be very keen.
That's good to hear.
-This evening... -Yes?
The moon's supposed to look lovely.
Ah, is that so.
Going home will be nice.
Please wait a moment.
Makoto-san, Kogetsu-san is on line 2 for you.
-What? Kogetsu? -Yes.
Hello?
Hello Masaki-kun, it's Kogetsu.
Ah thank you for the other day.
I briefly mentioned it before but,
my wife's interested in having a 'water server' at home.
That would be great.
When you have the time, shall I come explain it to you?
I could come tomorrow or the day after?
Okay then, could you come to my home tomorrow evening?
To your home?!
Maybe a cafe or something would be better?
No, no, no, I'll gladly come to your home.
-Ginger lunch box. -Thank you very much.
'Triumphant March' by Verdi.
You're a day too early to get excited. The real thing's tomorrow.
I know that.
Why did you peek into her offices?
If I just turn up suddenly at her home, she'll be freaked out.
Your everyday treasures come from such things.
-What's 'treasures'? -I'm saying that, as long as you, hurry up and
exchange contact details, there's no problem. -I don't think
she'll give them to me just by asking her.
Yellow card.
You really can't say that, you've not even tried yet.
Even if she doesn't tell you hers, you should at least be
able to give her yours. -I get it already.
-Next time I meet her I'll get them okay? -Next time's tomorrow you know.
I don't know if I'll see her tomorrow.
Are you an idiot?! Yesterday evening, in front of the lunch box shop,
you heard 'Triumphant March.' didn't you. Of course you'll meet her!
Is that what you mean by music being my ally?
It wasn't just a coincidence I heard that song. It has meaning?
Life's more fun if you think that way.
If you don't get her contact details tomorrow next time it will be a red card.
I will have to bow out?
Don't think you'll be able to come back here again.
But it's my apartment!
Please forgive me for suddenly leaving this at your home. If you'd like maybe we could go for a meal sometime.
Please take a seat.
Thank you.
-It's a big hand print isn't it. -Pardon?
Do you know the sumo wrestler Daikaiyama?
Ah yes, he retired just recently.
My daughter was a big fan of his.
-Is that so. Thank you.
This is my daughter Haruko.
Since Daikaiyama retired, she's been in a foul mood.
Really, ah, she's very pretty.
That was taken at her coming of age ceremony, it's more than 10 years old.
We've got some more recent pictures don't we?
-That's an old album. -It should be stuck in here somewhere.
Erm... does your daughter know I'm coming here today?
-No, I didn't mention it. -Is that so...
I'm just a bit worried that if she finds someone like me here,
she might be startled.
What did I do with it?
Ah, no, no.
This boy here. Doesn't he look a bit like Masaki-san?
Umm? Now that you mention it, yes he does.
Erm...
-Actually, it is me. -What really?!
-Does that kind of thing really happen? -It's quite astonishing.
Sorry for getting in your way.
-What are you doing? -I'm sorry,
for not telling you beforehand. -Why are you apologizing?
-Hang on, what are you doing? -See here, he says that
this boy is him! -Don't just show him my pictures.
The two of you played together when you were little.
Why did you tell my parent's that?
-I'm sorry! -Why are you talking to him like that?
He's an acquaintance, he works at the company next door.
-Is that so? -I'm sorry, erm...
In truth, it's been one coincidence after the other, piling up.
-Where are you going? -Shopping.
-The sumo's about to start. -Could you run an errand for me?
Email me what you want.
Excuse me!
Sorry for suddenly appearing without notice.
It's work isn't it. There's no need to apologize.
Your mother was interested in our product and so...
If my parents want one, then that's fine.
Erm!
-You like sumo right? -An old classmate of mine is a former wrestler.
You're working right now aren't you.
Yes...
-Take care -I'll be back soon.
100 songs memorized!
Hey are you listening?
Hey!
Come out. For goodness sake.
'Parting songs' by Chopin
It's famous isn't it.
Next Friday. There will be a business exchange
gathering with Swallow Marketing next door.
Business exchange gathering?
As you know, as of this month they've taken out a contract with us.
In the name of friendship, for now
it's been discussed that we all have a drink together.
-I don't think there's any point in that. -Of course there is.
That's right! I can't remember there ever being such a promising
drinks get together as this!
Participation isn't compulsory, please come if you wish.
Thank you!
Our boss is a most reliable man!
Unlike a certain someone!
-Heh, what? Are you going to go? -Of course I am you fool. What?
We can drink with some 'Fragrance' on the side, isn't that great?
The seating arrangement is of the most importance.
No matter what, we have to have her sit between us.
It look like it's going to be a good night!
Yes?
What?
What is... this?
Not many of them seem to have wanted to come, did they.
Not many?! There's only one person!
I think they might be coming later.
No matter how you look at it, they're not coming.
Goodness? Everyone's late.
It's clearly a farce.
Think of it as a welcome, let's all enjoy a drink.
Okay?
-Some fried chicken. -Yum.
Why thank you.
May I ask you something a little strange?
Um, what?
Do you believe in destiny?
Destiny? Well...
I guess I do.
-Really? -Why?
Actually I think that destiny is drawing me towards someone.
And do I know this someone?
As you know, my favourite colour is dark red.
This person wears dark red socks every day.
Dark red socks...
The ball was rolling towards me,
I lifted it up and took a look, it said bon bon bon.
And then...
Eh! Ah! I see!
He has the same name as my parents dog.
Our favourite curry restaurant is the same.
Our birthday's are only two days away from each other.
Really, only two days?
Our mobile phones are different colours but the same model.
I'm blood type A and he's O, which is the best compatibility.
Well if it's destiny, then I will be cheering you on.
Thank you very much.
Yotsuya-san doesn't have a boyfriend?
It seems they split up recently. Well she was the 'lover' too.
When you say 'too' you mean you also?
Goodness me, I just misspoke.
I've only had as many as you can count on one hand.
Love isn't about numbers, it's about depth.
Ah... Shall we have another drink?
-1 pot of piping hot sake please. -Coming right up.
I think Yotsuya-san and the others should be here soon.
Actually make that 3 pots.
Will do! Hello welcome!
Good evening.
Is that Yotsuya-san and the others perhaps?
They did say they were coming later.
I want to kill myself for
ever having doubted you. -No, it doesn't smell like Yotsuya-san.
You can tell?
Yes. I have a bad feeling.
-'The Devil' by Shubert... -What?
Is that Masaki-kun?
-I thought so! -You thought so?
No, it's just I had this feeling that I'd be meeting you.
-I'm going on ahead. -Yes, okay that way.
My co-workers secretly organized a welcome party.
...so that's why I'm here. -I see.
Are you all co-workers?
What lovely ladies they are.
-Would you care to have a drink with us? -Actually, you really should.
That's right. After all if you're a friend of Makoto's we should get to know you.
I appreciate the offer but for today I will have to decline.
-Come on Sadaoka-kun. -Okay, see you later.
Okay, bye.
If you want to kill him, I'll will help you.
Ah, it's fine. What on earth are you saying!
-Hello there. -Hello.
-The people you're drinking with, they're from your company? -Yes, that's right.
Everyone was jealous of you.
It wasn't as fun as it looked.
-I've hardly drunk anything at all. -Why's that?
Wasn't that rude, since they went as far as to
organize a drinks party for you?
The truth is, I'm going to propose to Haruko tomorrow.
Hey! Pro... pro... propose!
Mitsue-san told me that
Haruko intends to marry the next person she goes out with.
But... even so, isn't it getting a bit ahead of yourself?
It's not like you're even going out.
We both know what kind of person the other is,
I thought it would make it easier for her to respond to me
if she knows I'm prepared to get married.
Well...
I want to surprise her, so you have to keep it a secret.
Okay.
What should I do?
Big trouble!
What to do? What to do?
-Seriously isn't this bad?! -Stop messing around.
Why are you pulling that face, you were searching for me desperately earlier.
Do you have any idea
how I felt coming home? -You brought it on yourself.
You've no right to hold on to her,
when you can't get her contact details or even give her yours.
So...
You're saying she'll accept his proposal?
Well he is at the height of his popularity right now.
Furthermore, her friend is giving him a strong push.
Unfortunately I'd have to say the situation is looking grim.
-Indeed... -But there is just one thing you can do.
Tomorrow you'll be going to her house
to deliver the water server.
The only thing you can do is delay her.
This is your last chance.
Excuse me.
As I thought, here.
I said straight off that here would be best didn't I.
Erm, where is Haruko today?
Literally just before you came, she left.
She said she was going to meet an old school friend.
What? Where was she going?!
She was going to congratulate her old high school teacher's who's just given birth.
-I see... -Is something the matter?
Ah, no. About the position,
I recommend that we get the opinion of
all members of the family.
I don't think Haruko would mind where we put it.
The opposite in fact, she'll complain no matter where we put it.
Just to be safe, I'll take a picture to show her,
and get her agreement. It will save arguments later.
Okay.
Our teacher hasn't changed at all.
She's had so many students, I didn't think
she'd remember me. -Now you see how much of an impact
the Cultural Festival performance had.
I never thought she'd mention that before anything else.
It would be good if you revived the band for the next school reunion.
You don't go to school reunions do you.
If you get all 10 members together, I'll definitely come.
It would be great if I could, but they're all busy with this and that.
Indeed.
-But it's gone so quickly. -Pardon?
In the 10 years since we put on that stupid performance,
-Half of them have got married. -Indeed...
Somehow, our twenties went past in a flash.
-Do you remember that place over there? -What?
What was it?
It's where I asked you out, 12 years ago.
The place where I failed to get a proper response from you.
Good day.
Do you have some business here?
Ah, yes, erm. I'm an acquaintance of someone here.
Good day.
You need obtain permission if you wish to enter.
Permission...
Of course, sorry.
Sorry.
Haruko-san!
The position of the water server! Please confirm the position...
-Excuse me! -Pick it up!
Old dude, do you play baseball?
The first thing to do, when someone gets a ball for you is to say 'thank you'
Thank you.
Will you play with us?
I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood right now.
Yer depressed?
Before practicing baseball, you should practice polite speech.
-Won't you play? -Ask nicely.
Would you be so kind as to play with us please.
Would you please guide
us two enthusiastic novices please.
Please!
-I guess I'll have to do it. -You'll do it for us?
-As I'm playing, we'll have a serious match. -Yes!
Hit it! Run run run!
Run! Okay!
Yay! 1 point!
Congratulations.
What do you mean?
Actually I heard from Sadaoka-kun yesterday.
That he was going to propose to you today.
Is that so.
And so,
why are you saying congratulations?
Ah, well
the proposal went well, didn't it?
I turned him down.
But you were smiling and looked happy?
You saw me?
Ah, I'm sorry.
Erm, I wanted to confirm with you the position of the water server.
Just at that moment the 'Wedding March' started playing,
it was too weird.
Laughing was definitely not the appropriate thing to do.
Is that right...
Old dude! Hurry up!
-Hold on a minute. -It's going to get dark!
I said, hold on a minute. I'm discussing something important.
Don't you think you'd better get going?
Please don't mind them.
Hurry up! Hurry up!
-Do your best. -Erm...
About the position of the water server...
You were dumped?
Dumped! Dumped!
You little bastards...
It's the red thread of fate.
Please wait a moment.
Would you take my contact details?
They're not finished yet,
so not right now.
What are you talking about?
On the score board, it's the first half of my phone number.
If we truly are connected by the red thread of destiny,
I think that the last 5 columns will complete my number.
Aka : 'Red' Ito : 'Thread'. Also, the boys I'm playing with are called Aka and Ito.
Red Thread
But then,
can't you make things go the way you'd like.
What?
If from now on, you don't take any points yourself
and let the boys take points as you please,
then can't you complete your number?
As far as you know that's true,
but with baseball you can never tell what's going to happen.
The game won't necessarily go as I'd like.
Why are you going to such lengths to complete the number?
Isn't it obvious? I want to be able to talk with you on the phone.
And so, if you're inclined, please come back later
check out the scoreboard.
Excuse me.
-You're late! Seriously. -I'm sorry, let's resume the match.
-It's still, 3 times behind, no out. -I know.
On this occasion, I can't score any more points.
-Right, let's go! -Okay!
I might go full out you know. Here I go!
Fast!
-Whoa! -I'm home.
Welcome home. You didn't meet up with Masaki-kun?
-I did. -He's gone home?
I wonder, he's probably still at the baseball ground down by the river.
-Well then, give him a call. -Why?
I was certain he'd come back with you,
and so I made dinner.
Your mother put a lot of effort into these fried prawns.
She prepared handmade sauce too.
Hello?
It's Kogetsu.
Masaki speaking.
I honestly didn't think it would go through.
I didn't think so either.
-Did you cheat? -Of course not!
It's the proper score I got from playing.
Well then, it worked out well.
It was tougher than I'd imagined though.
I thought they'd seen through me When I got three outs on purpose.
I had to bow down to them, and they gave me the game.
What is it?
'Clair de Lune' by Debussy.
What?
'Clair de Lune'
Am I wrong?
No, that's right.
It's a full moon tonight isn't it.
Erm...
Yes?
Would you like to go for a Hotpot with me sometime?
Hotpot?
One of my old school mates is a former wrestler,
and the restaurant he opened up is near our company.
But I've not been there yet.
So I don't know whether it's any good or not.
I think I know which restaurant you mean.
If it's where I think, then I've been wanting to go too.
Really?! Well then...
Shall we go together?
If it's okay to bring a friend.
Really?!
Hotpot's good isn't it.
What?
We won't argue over whether it's ponzu or seasame seed sauce.
Indeed.
Bye.
Mountain Makoto over coming Haruko Fuji,
A dazzling victory!
Right!
It's an appropriate night to have a toast.
Cheers.
What? What?
Sadaoka-kun, who's way more appealing than you was casually cast aside by Haruko.
-Have you realized the gravity of this? -What do you mean?
I mean how hard it's going to be to capture her heart.
But she said she'd go out with me for Hotpot.
And there you'll be told once again,
'I've no romantic feelings towards you.'
No, that's definitely unthinkable.
Aren't you underestimating the size of your enemy.
If Sadaoka's the boss, then she's the big boss.
If you launch a normal attack, she won't give an inch. She's wearing impregnable armour.
You can't take her down with such a perfunctory attack.
You have to turn the world upside down.
You must make a bold move!
*Possibly Laputa reference to a destructive stone Bals!
Did you know Haruko?
Your father's been drinking with Masaki-san.
Yep, he seems like a good guy.
Not only that but he's single.
Honestly girls today don't know a good thing when it's right in front of them.
I might not be able to get married.
I'm not saying you should get together with him.
I know. It's not about who the person is,
rather it's to do with marriage itself.
Why?
