I will not...
hurt the one I love
or give him grief.
Chiaki...
I want to be honest with my feelings.
I too want...
to be honest...
"Chiaki"
This is really surprising.
I'm not usually very popular.
Don't change the subject by acting so humble.
You can say it differently if you don't like me.
It's not like that at all.
Sorry for giving that impression.
Is it about your ex, Momo?
Are you still hanging onto your past, thinking about her?
Well, that may be it.
That's OK. I won't say anything.
It's OK as long as she doesn't find out.
That's the justification of a cheater, isn't it?
- What? - An affair is...
something to hide, you think it's a crime.
Well...
And that it's horrible.
That is...
But...
the reason why a lot of people cheat is because
they don't picture the other person's face while doing it?
Their face?
Their girlfriend's or their wife's.
They don't exist during that.
But I...
I see her in my mind even now.
Her face.
Her smiling face.
Pouting face.
Angry face.
Crying face.
So many different expressions.
That's what...
I keep seeing.
That's why...
I'm sorry.
I see.
As a man...
as a male...
this may be kind of pathetic, I guess.
Women don't forgive cheating.
I understand it.
Because they know.
They know they were forgotten.
That's why it's so sad and they can't stand to be with them.
Yes.
But there are women who aren't like that.
Men are cheating creatures.
They understand that and accept it.
I look at those women...
as being more mature.
I myself...
am not attracted to such women.
The kind of woman who would be broken
over an affair by her boyfriend or husband...
that's who I like.
Definitely.
That's me.
A thick tea mug at a noodle shop and...
a thin and fragile teacup.
Which do you think is harder to break?
The thick tea mug.
The thick... mug?
Takane's...
high quality teacup...
won't break.
Why not?
Because it's cherished.
Because I...
Because I cherished it.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you...
"Born to be a Flower"
"Memorandum"
This is to relinquish any rights
regarding Tsukishima's asset.
Are you serious about this?
Yes.
You're not serious, or sane!
- Nana, what are you-- - Madam.
Nana is clear in her intention.
You're Tsukishima's attorney,
- what are you-- - Stop it.
But Master...
Hey, Nana.
Yes.
I understand.
Today, at this moment,
you're ex-communicated from Tsukishima.
Thank you very much...
for your care all these years.
Sure.
But Master!
Nana is the only daughter you have!
Nana, wait!
Please...
take good care of my father.
What?
Chiaki.
You're a physician at a big hospital?
And your dad is the president?
And you're Momo's friend?
Why the Charade?
This was the first time Momo mentioned any man,
so I was curious.
I found out he owns a bike shop downtown, and I thought
he could be really cute, so I wanted to check him out.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
- We're sorry. - No, no.
Pooh, you're actually...
charming!
So you could tell Momo and I knew each other, right?
- No, not at all. - What?
I thought you didn't fall into my honeytrap because you knew.
A honeytoro?
A honeytrap.
Momo's last boyfriend cheated on her,
so she doesn't trust men.
You mean you seduced Pooh?
- Yeah. - You serious?
I so envy you, you brat!
Ouch, but I...
But Pooh didn't fall for it.
I was upset, like I'm not attractive?
But I bet it was good for Momo who was listening.
What?
- Momo was...? - Yep.
I let her listen, with this mic.
What?
My God, that's embarrassing!
Not embarrassing.
Because Pooh, you didn't fall for it.
It's embarrassing.
What did I say?
You said Momo's face will keep appearing,
so you can't.
Wow!
It kind of hits me in my heart.
Me too.
I'm sure Momo felt it too.
Pooh is great. Wonderful.
What? Why are you down?
I knew...
that I wasn't that popular.
Who cares about that?
- Hey, you're being ridiculous! - Who cares about that?
Let me stay with you for a bit.
Nana.
Until he gets settled in his new job.
A new job?
Yeah, he says he's one step ahead. And he's not worried.
If Plan A is no good,
- there's always Plan B. - Nana.
Don't say anything, sis.
I can't help saying something.
You know what?
I'm in love for the first time.
To the extent I'm willing to leave everything.
Nana.
That is, if I turn this around,
that the flower arranging was... not all that important to me.
I'm not like you.
What?
I don't want to end up disliking flowers.
Nana...
Our headmaster gave me his permission.
What?
When our headmaster said he would ex-communicate me.
Or rather, when our father said that...
somehow...
the expression on his face was very kind.
Kind?
It was like he was relieved.
Maybe this was actually what he wanted.
What do you mean?
He wants to make you the headmaster, I think.
There's no way, because I am...
Not blood related?
That's right.
And so what?
I'm not his real daughter.
And so what?
So you weren't loved?
By dad.
The name of this flower?
Garbella.
What's this one?
Marigold.
That's right.
You're a good girl.
I am sorry. I didn't think Nana would do that.
But this is good.
What?
The fact that Momo isn't my real daughter will...
be leaked by someone somewhere.
Then Nana would be used as a pawn
to cause family trouble for certain.
So then, you were thinking of making Momo the successor
from the beginning?
I, of course...
had hoped to find...
talent in Nana.
Nana does have the talent.
But she doesn't have the gift.
Without the gift,
there's a limit to what one can do.
That is...
The art is
geniuses frolicking, betting their life on their art.
I see a lot of potential in you.
As you were saying,
the dilettantish business era is over.
It may be important
to support the flower arranging from the business point of view.
Yes.
I'll proceed with your marriage to Momo, alright?
What?
You told me in the beginning that you wanted her.
Oh, that wasn't what it--
Momo...
as she stands...
She has a gift that surpasses Hyoma's.
She gets physically ill
when she's away from flower arranging.
Don't you...
Don't you want to see the genius she is, when she makes
Hyoma bow down?
Hyoma...
bowing down?
This is Momo.
Enter.
Momo.
Master.
You be... the official successor of Tsukishima.
Yes.
You weren't answering your phone.
Me either.
I really wanted to give you grief.
No way.
I don't believe this.
Don't believe this.
No...
Momo!
Sorry to make you wait.
Sorry for asking you to come so suddenly.
A lunchbox. I got up early to make it.
Thank you so much.
- We could eat together some-- - No.
Please eat it later.
What? Oh.
OK.
I'm going to be the headmaster.
What?
I've been through a lot.
But ultimately, I will be...
the 16th generation headmaster of Tsukishima.
That is... good news, isn't it?
Yes.
I want to thank you...
for all you've done for me.
Oh, no, I really didn't do--
Thank you very much.
You sound a little different from usual.
People say...
we live our lives supporting each other.
Yes.
Supporting the other as they can't stand on their own
is being co-dependent.
Yes.
Kazama, you're a man who can stand on his own.
Doesn't matter if it's windy or stormy,
you're a tree that won't fall.
I cannot stand on my own and I end up leaning on you.
That's alright, isn't it?
No, it's not.
You will break someday.
Or it could be
that we would both go down since I cannot support you.
Miss Momo...
I cannot do it.
I'm just too preoccupied with myself all the time.
You're serious.
I too...
want to be able to stand on my own.
- But- manna“.
I need to...
get my confidence back as a flower arranger...
although I don't know when that will be.
I'll wait.
No problem.
It is a burden that someone is waiting?
Then, we'll stay friends.
This is...
This is goodbye.
Then, this lunchbox...
So this is supposed to be my last supper?
No, it doesn't have any deep meaning.
If I eat your lunchbox,
this is like your flesh and blood. I won't be able to forget about you.
- That's for sure. - Then give it back.
No, no, I'll eat it.
I hear that a high quality teacup doesn't break.
What?
Well, that's right.
Because it's being cherished?
Yes.
I want to be a high quality individual like that.
You already are.
- You're an artist-- - Like I said,
I have no confidence in it right now,
so those words are lifeless.
Like I said, very soon--
It's not that simple.
OK.
Sorry.
- I know that. - There's no way you know.
OK.
- Common people won't-- - What are you doing?
Why are you arguing with me?
Normally, you just say you agree with me.
You say that all you want is for me to be alive,
acting all cool.
That is...
The situation was different then.
What do you mean?
What do I mean? Well, it was just my feeling.
Despite what you said then...
I knew you would still contact me.
That was the feeling I was getting then.
You made light of what I said until now.
That may be so.
But now, that feeling is gone.
Look here, goose bumps.
Even the birds are telling me loud and clear,
"Hey, you won't be able to see her again."
You've got good senses.
You could become an artist yourself.
Please forgive me, it's just my hunch.
I don't forgive you. This is inevitable.
No, no. You can't say that.
Once I become the headmaster, we'll live in two different worlds.
It's the same world. We're earthlings.
We are the World.
You sing that alone, OK?
The cell phone?
I'll block you.
SNS?
Block.
OK.
It's over!
Thank you so very much.
Looks so good.
Momo broke it off with him.
How many times now?
This one is the real goodbye.
Because Momo has become the official successor.
80 things are different from before.
It's the world we cannot really reach.
Just forget about her, Pooh.
You did all you could.
Not easy to be so devoted to a woman like you had been.
We agree.
I still want to do something for her.
I don't know another woman who lives her life with all she has.
This is going to take a while.
Men can't take breakups gracefully.
My mum said this.
The reason men are like this
is because they didn't put everything into it.
Oh, I know.
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
The flower!
That flower Sota tried to pick and fell off the cliff for.
I'll go pick that flower now.
What nonsense are you saying?
Because that is an unattainable flower.
If I give it to her as a gift...
That won't change anything.
It's also dangerous.
But...
Let's go then to pluck this flower!
What? Dad?
With the holy sword, Excalibur.
Pooh can pluck it if he's a hero!
What?
- Dad... - Let's go!
Right now!
Mr. Miyaki.
Let's do it.
Let's do it now. We can do it.
You're working hard at this.
I will be presenting my work in front of the board of directors
so I want to show my best piece.
Certainly.
Hey...
My mom, what was she like?
She was a mirror image of you.
I already heard that.
What about her abilities? She was Tsukishima's teacher, right?
After marriage,
Miss Chieko quit doing flower arranging.
Why?
Is it because she lost sight of the other part of herself?
There was no such thing for Miss Chieko to start with.
Are you saying she was at a mundane level?
That's why she could quit without any reservation?
She resigned for the sake of the headmaster.
For the headmaster?
Miss Chieko was a wonderful flower arranger respected by everyone.
But...
the headmaster said that hers wasn't the Tsukishima's style
and he wasn't fond of it, so she stopped.
It was because of her love for her husband.
While being shoved aside,
she was still in love with him.
She strayed out of loneliness.
But that was all.
Director Takai...
That man...
I feel a lot of sympathies for.
So,
how was my mother's...?
What was my mum's flower arrangement like?
She had a talent that even the headmaster was jealous of,
and it wasn't Tsukishima's style,
and she didn't have any part of herself hidden.
What kind of flower arranging did she do?
I am...
a flower.
What does that mean?
No idea.
Well, yeah.
This is nice, right? Kind of like an adventure.
I used to go on a bike and catch beetles when I was a kid.
Women don't know the meaning of what we're doing.
There's no meaning to what we do.
This is a boys' adventure.
Boys, huh?
Delish.
One day,
you wonder, why did I marry such a boring man?
Then you stop wanting to talk to him.
Isn't it time you stopped punishing him?
Because of his stupid friendship,
they went all the way to Yamanashi to pluck a flower from some cliff.
I see.
- This is it? - Oh!
You're walking too fast.
- That's OK. - Slow down!
We're almost there.
80 hot here.
- Are we there? - 80 hot.
- There are leaches. - What?
I see leaches.
Is that it?
That is it.
Then...
why don't we take photos here and go home?
Yeah. That looks a bit hard.
Smart phones.
There.
- There you go. - Is it good?
Oh, there, it's good.
OK, let's get back.
Come on.
- Oh! I could have fallen. - You're alright.
- Alright. - That way.
Go that way.
I am a flower.
What?
I am a flower.
I am...
a flower.
I am a flower.
I will be...
a hero!
What are you doing, sis?
Nana, look. Do you realise what this is?
What?
You told me one time.
That you can summon more courage when you have someone you love.
- But that is-- - Right,
that is just a fool's game.
That's what I said then.
Yes.
But I know now.
I just need to sublimate...
this feeling straight out to the ultimate.
Sis...
Do not lose your way.
I know I can do it.
Am I right?
I know you can do it.
You have the gift!
I am... a flower.
We are flowers.
My mom, until the end...
insisted that I was the daughter of her husband.
She loved her husband.
Yes.
It's a cruel story.
No.
Can I ask you one thing?
Yes.
Have you fallen in love with anyone else after that?
No, I haven't.
You're just like Pooh.
Today, I'll do flower arranging in front of seven headmasters.
Yes.
With all my power...
I will affirm your way of life.
What?
Affirm my dad's life.
What is this?
This is nonsense.
- My daughter is a formal-- - She came last night,
saying she wants to establish a new school.
A new school?
Ridiculous!
My master.
The flower arranging I will present here today
makes a clear distinction from the Tsukishima style.
What are you talking about?
Have you gone mad?
Well, Mr. Ichimatsu.
For a new school to join the association,
the decision must be unanimous.
If you don't leave your flower, everything will be taken care of.
Let us see what she has.
This gentleman,
if I said I was sad,
he answered, that it was the proof of my love.
When I was angry,
he said that I could get even more angry.
This man...
is impartial...
and illuminates us all,
like the sun.
This day and age...
it's extremely difficult to
continue to be accepting.
Without stubbornly adhering to one's sense of values
and accepting the sense of values of the others.
A soul so bright...
and virtuous.
"You will be fine"
You will be fine.
The flowers, they just look up to the rays of the sun.
They direct their most beautiful expressions to the sun,
being filled with joy.
"Trip around Japan"
Oof.
I imagine you saying this to someone someday.
You will be fine.
I imagine you saying this to someone someday.
I'm on your side.
Let me also be a flower.
There, let's picture
the sun, and my man.
So that the flowers...
can freely look up toward the sun.
I also...
will simply face the man I love.
Feeling blessed...
with the warmth of his heart.
Filled with love and joy.
Chieko.
I am a flower.
My flower knows no malice.
I am just the way I am.
This is about love.
Love?
Even if this feeling doesn't lead to fruition,
there will be no pain.
You yourself are the sun.
You're the one and only illumination like the sun.
That, I now realise.
After all this time...
I am confessing my love for you.
How is it, everyone?
I am, for one...
speechless.
This is...
not Tsukishima.
Correct, master.
I, Momo...
want to stand on my own two feet.
Please...
allow me to establish a new school.
With no status...
as an unknown first generation flower arranger?
Yes.
Dad.
Momo...
It'll be a difficult road.
I won't be alone.
I have someone who will support me...
Your work was splendid.
You're fast.
You become the fastest horse and make me rich.
Plan A, Plan B.
Which plan is this one?
You're being a stalker.
I can help you.
A rich girl like you can't take care of horses.
Oh, maybe you'd say you are a good rider.
I understand the language of animals.
What?
That was silly.
I have no place to go.
OK.
Stay with me.
Forever, OK?
Forever...
and ever.
That's your...?
Destiny!
"Kazama Cycling"
Thank you very much for the ride.
Take care, OK?
Pooh, you're back.
Oh, hey.
"To Kazama Cycling"
Welcome home, my dear.
Oh, OK.
I have many shortcomings,
but I will do my best for us both.
Do you again have me on a speaker with someone listening?
- What? - At Kaeko's bar?
They must all be listening.
I can't believe this. I won't fall into that again.
I gave up on succeeding the Tsukishima. I will open
a class in this area.
Well, in case
you didn't know, I have no money.
Oh, this is not going to cost much money.
- And... - You still have something?
You're still into your last boyfriend?
No, I'm not!
He's a good dad with his new kid.
Oh, well...
- I wasn't quite ready-- - What?
Because you're like a flower I cannot attain.
I am a flower you cannot attain.
But that's alright, isn't it?
You're well qualified yourself, aren't you?
To pluck that flower?
All your dreams will come true.
You have the ability to make dreams come true.
Nobody will deceive you.
You will someday find and have true love.
Because
you're the child of your father and myself.
Me too...
I will do my best for both of us.
Alright!
Alright! Congratulations!
I knew it...
Oh, hey, Pooh.
I have some company.
What?
Thank you very much for having us.
Now you just have me, Momo.
Ruriko did this?
She called a head office meeting
to propose classroom maintenance and strengthening of advertisement.
I see.
Yes.
You're not going with Momo?
I am an employee of the Tsukishima's.
If you don't mind, I'd rather stay here.
I understand.
Who has the best interest of the Tsukishima...
It may be you.
Protecting the continuous family blood line
is my job.
I don't know...
anything about flowers.
That's alright.
That's why I fell in love.
What?
I felt like I would suffocate, being the headmaster.
When I married you, I felt like I could breathe for the first time.
That's a lie.
Chieko was talented
and distanced herself from me.
It seems strange, but it's true.
I can't believe it.
I see.
If so...
prove it to me.
Prove?
If you have love for me,
I would like... to have another child.
What?
"Trip around Japan"
Thank you.
I'm here to return the bike.
Welcome back!
"Welcome back, Sota!"
Sota.
Welcome back.
Pooh.
I'm back.
You were fine, right?
Yeah.
Welcome back!
- Welcome back. - Welcome back.
Sota.
Welcome back.
Nice to be back.
Hey.
Welcome back.
Sota.
Iruka!
Welcome back.
I'm back!
Welcome back.
Mum.
I am...
all right now.
Yay! Sota!
Yay!
"Cycling"
He said it, didn't he?
From the left side.
"Flower arranging under the sun"
Hello, everyone!
I am Momo Kazama.
Let's first enjoy flower arranging
using these flowers here.
Oh, hi!
So lovely.
That's very good.
You should put this up front.
Hard to put them in there.
Like you're planting them.
Thank you very much.
Everyone, enjoy flower arranging...
yes, all the while imagining the most precious person in your mind.
"The End"
