Beethoven left behind him
many famous pieces of music.
It goes without saying, he was a great man.
But I wonder if there aren't others worthy of admiration, that we shouldn't forget.
Like the people who brought Beethoven into this world,
his parents.
If his parents had never met,
The man known as 'Beethoven' would have never even been born,
so much for 'destiny.'
If their parents hadn't fallen in love,
Edison, Einstein and Bill Gates would never have existed.
If that was the case, I wonder what our world would look like today?
-Good morning, you're early. -Good morning.
If we consider the distant future, it's a meeting that influences the fate of the earth.
It's from the trivialities of daily life
that undoubtedly things begin.
My name is Makoto Masaki and I will be joining you from today.
We've been waiting!
I've been with the company for 7 years, based at the Shizuoka branch.
I will do my absolute best and look forward to working with you all.
You were Shizuoka's number 4.
A mysterious change in personnel. -Give me a break!
-Okay then, let's all do our best today.
-Please. -Did you get a reservation at Katsuragi?
-Chief, who do you take me for. -What about the potato salad situation?
Rest assured, I told them very specifically.
What is this 'potato salad situation'?
Potato salad is the chief's favourite food but he hates carrots.
Masaki-San, can you take your alcohol?
Ah well, I like a drink but I'm not that great at holding it.
It's just today is your welcome party.
-Pardon? I've heard nothing about this?! -You've nothing better to do, have you?
-You said you'd told him. -I did, did I?
Anyway, this is Midori-chan. (*Midori : green)
Even so, her favourite colour is a reddish-brown.
-Please call it dark red. -Okay okay.
Anyway, that person over there is the boss Sekihara-San.
Chief, as expected, it's delicious today too.
Is that right? That's good to hear.
He's been glaring at me for a while now.
That's just his normal face.
Every day he drinks one whole container.
-You're kidding me. -Look forward to this evening okay.
I've got lots of interesting stories to tell about Makoto!
You'd better not say anything unnecessary, okay!
-You're good friends aren't you. -Nah, we just joined at the same time.
Your desk is over there.
This is the key to your desk and locker.
Thank you.
Since entering the company Zero lateness's and absences. And zero luck with women!
He's messing with me!
In the follow up from the survey response form from five years ago
that was sent to the attendees regarding the statement 'I'm not particularly interested in marriage'
Those currently married are around 10%.
About 30% have a boyfriend. And 60% are without a boyfriend.
This next graph shows the monthly average eating out budget
for those who answered that they have no boyfriend,
Those in their 20s use more money
than those in their 30s.
The budget for a single meal is higher for those in their 30s.
However those in their 20s
go out to eat more, and that's why the results look this way.
How about you? How are you compared to the average?
In reality, I use considerably less than the average amount.
Haruko still hasn't gone out to eat ramen or gyudon
on her own. -That's really of no concern here.
Yotsuya-San, you spend a lot of money on eating out right.
Yes, I eat Chinese, BBQ, French, sushi.
-I'm completely fine on my own. -How reliable.
Yes.
-How about going on your own today. -Hey, hold on a minute!
You're fine with going for a drink by yourself, aren't you.
Please, just for today. I've something I need to discuss with you.
You say that, but you never listen to what I say.
I will today, honest.
Well, I'm definitely going home after just the one.
-We'll see about that. -Ah, I already don't want to know.
What do you mean, 'zero luck with women?'
Midori-chan you really love getting your teeth in this sort of thing.
You get totally stirred up.
To start with, the girl he went out with when he first started at the company.
In half a year she put on 30kg.
-What! -30kg! Really?!
Well to be accurate it was 25kgs in 5 months.
Every month 5kgs? That's the same weight gain as a new born horse!
Chief, don't underestimate the speed of growth of a foal!
-It doesn't take a month to put on 25kgs. -Really? I didn't know that.
Why did she put on so much weight?
Well, she was in tears and told me she hardly ate anything.
That's obviously a lie.
But you know, he completely believed it.
It's not like I believed it 100%.
But I thought that I had to trust her.
That's only natural for a man.
But you know, his next girlfriend was even worse.
Whenever Makoto took a bath, she'd take money from his wallet.
-She was a compulsive thief. -Really... how much did she take?
If he was having a shower 1000 yen. If he was having a soak in the bath 2000 yen.
It's like dirt cheap prostitution.
Chief, don't underestimate dirt cheap prostitution.
Please could you both cut it out.
Whether 1 or 2 thousand yen, it's no joke.
It's just a crime.
I didn't really feel that way though...
Furthermore, they broke up with him in the same way.
They just suddenly broke contact. He's not heard from them since...
The girl that put on 25kg dumped him too?
Hey... everyone... I'm...
I'm not the kind to judge a woman by her outward appearance.
It's only natural, if you're a man.
Really... but being dumped by the two of them means,
there must be some sort of big problem with you.
Hey Midori-chan, he's the one worried about that the most.
I'm not that worried really.
It doesn't particularly look like you have a problem though...
Ah, but it's those guys who are the most dangerous.
It's guys that look like that who are driving this country to ruin.
-Really... I didn't know that. -There's no way he has that kind of power.
-No, I can feel it...
But, I really have no idea why,
maybe I did something wrong or something...
That's it, you must've done something.
You didn't realise it, but
you did something to those women.
I looked at his phone and there was a really suspicious message, so I responded.
What, you looked at his phone?!
And then she turned on me, she said that I was the lover.
Isn't that awful? I was his number 2.
It's good you found out before you got to involved and were hurt.
But, I really do like him,
so I gave him a whack and
told him I'd put up with being 2nd but, but that he'd better not make me 3rd.
What on earth are you saying!? Break up with him right now!
-But why? -Do you think we've got time to waste?
We're nearly 30 you know!
-Again with 30. -If you waste time on pointless love affairs
you won't be able to get it back later.
But I like him, so it can't be helped.
He's said you're his lover,
are you seriously considering the future?
Men are creatures that grow from day to day.
He won't. He'll stay that way until he dies.
You're too hard on both men and women.
I'm just telling it how it is.
It's because you only see the faults in people that
that your choices in partner are gradually narrowing.
It's good to have narrow options, you're more like to make a correct choice.
You definitely lack seriousness in
considering the next partner might be your last.
I've just not thought about it. That's why Midori-chan
if you know of anyone good please introduce her to him.
Hmmm, is there someone... -Hey Kasuo.
-Yes? -I have a girlfriend.
-What? I've not heard about this?! -There's no way I'd tell you.
-Is she okay this time? -Do you have a picture of her?
Well, yes...
When I met her, I thought to myself
how can I put it... There really is such a thing as destiny.
What! She's your girlfriend? You're going out with her?
Give it here!
You bastard...
Didn't you say a moment ago that you didn't judge women by appearances!
She just happened to tell me
she thought I was nice. -It's not as facile as that.
-I misjudged you. -Why are you getting worked up Chief?!
You don't have the power to send him back to Shizuoka do you Chief!
That's what I was saying. Guys that look like him
are the most dangerous. -By the way, the potato salad,
why are there carrots in it? -I told you
I let the chef know!
-Sorry for all the noise. -It's no bother!
It's a relief that it's thriving.
It looked like the pub was going to go under.
For a pub of this capacity it's strange you don't have part timers.
I want to do both the cooking and the service.
I'm Ootani Shouhei of the pub world.
It's a try-out, so please do it again.
Hey, when did you get married?
I was late getting married. It was just when I hit 30.
What? Are you looking for a fight?
I was the last out of all my friends. They all got married in their 20s.
It's true.
Who are you! What are you doing here?
-Your destined woman isn't coming. -What?
Unfortunately you've been had. Here look.
Today at dawn in the Shinjiku area
a man in his thirties was called out by this woman.
Afterwards some of her male friends appeared,
and he was abducted and confined.
Akane-chan?
-You know what it is? A 'Badger game.' -What?
The plan was, band together with those men and get some money out of you.
But before she got the chance, she got caught in another incident.
You lying! She's not that kind of girl!
If you'd like, I can tell you about all the men she's previously fooled?
Not only has she abducted and confined people
it's suspected that she's exhorted around 1,000,000 yen.
Why does this always happen to me?
Why is it, I only get weird women approaching me.
Did I do something bad?
Did I do something bad to make women hold a grudge over me, in a previous life?
Did I do something awful?
Do you want me to tell you why you have such bad luck with women.
It's because there is someone you are genuinely destined to meet.
So destiny is getting in your way.
It's making it so that you return to the right path.
-Thank you. -Are you alright? Why? Are you okay?
Ah... I'm sorry, we've only just met.
Because, Mr Detective, you've had
such kind words for me that
I think I won't throw away my life just yet.
Detective?
What? Am I wrong?
Do you think a detective would enter a victims house without permission?
Furthermore, I've got my shoes on!
-Ah, please take them off! -It's fine, they're clean.
What! Anyway who are you!
I'd have thought you could tell from the situation and atmosphere.
No no... I've no idea. Tell me.
Yes, yes, ok, ok... Here I go!
Here I go. Tada!
I'm God.
What!
Didn't you hear me? I'm God. G.O.D right here!
What the!
If you keep on mucking around, I'm calling the police!
Please feel free to do so, if you wish.
What? Here.
Yes, this is important.
This person is your destined other half.
No, not that. Where did this suddenly come from?
Kogetsu Haruko 29 years old.
If you don't marry her by the end of the year and have a child next year
the planet will face disaster!
Ah... I understand.
And so, you...
You're a magician! That's it!
Listen to me. What I'm telling you is super important!
I'm telling you something really serious.
Is it okay if the earth is destroyed because of you?
What? The earth is destroyed?
Your child will save the world in 30 years from now.
What on earth are you talking about.
A meteor approaching earth will go off course.
He'll be the first winner of both the Nobel peace prize and physics prize.
What's known as the saviour of the world?
-Mine and this woman's child? -That's right.
I'm talking about when two ducks get married a miraculous swan will be born.
Do you think anyone would believe such a ridiculous story?
What?
You think I'm easily fooled don't you, you're messing with me!
Well, maybe I'm messing with you a little but I'm definitely not tricking you.
Afterall I'm God!
Well if, for the sake of argument, she and I are destined to be together
even if you leave us be, we'll end up together right?
That's what destiny is isn't it?
You are most carelessly defying the strong power of destiny.
So I've come with a few helpful words.
Anyway, even if I
I approach someone I don't know and start talking of destiny...
-She's sitting behind you. -What?
I'm talking about your new workplace.
You'd be scared if she suddenly appeared behind you, wouldn't you!
Well, you just suddenly appeared sitting there!
What? Are you really talking like that to God!
You've got some guts!
Behind my desk is a wall, so there's no-one sitting behind me.
On the other side of the wall.
What?
Can't you see that destiny is giving the two of you a push?
I leave the future of the planet to you okay.
Ah, but...
She's my destined other half?
-Ah, he's here! -Good morning!
When something happens that surpasses human imagination,
people call it a miracle.
Miracles happen surprisingly close to home, don't they.
Your luck with women is truly miraculous.
Who'd have thought, she'd be a criminal.
What does the company next door do?
Ah, marketing?
Something about new product development and strategy
they collect the necessary data or something.
-Do they use our water? -We've tried but it's been no good.
Why's that?
Our boss and theirs...
they fight like cats and dogs.
I see. Well, it may be pointless but I'll take a shot.
It's pointless, you should give up.
Excuse me.
How can I help you?
I'm Makoto from Welcome Water next door.
I was wondering if you would care to use our water?
Ah, I think that we already refused but...
Yotsuya-San. Please let him though.
Excuse me.
Please take a look.
People are often coming over here with that.
Pardon?
I believe I've been very clear on this.
We will most certainly not be using your product.
Ah... is that the case.
I only just moved to these offices yesterday.
I'm sorry.
Ah, out of interest
is there something lacking with our product?
-I would be very interested to know. -Why is that?
Afterall, our two companies are side by side
I feel we are sort of connected.
We see each other everyday,
we exchange pleasantries, I feel like we have a relationship.
Am I wrong in thinking that?
I think so too.
But I don't get that sense from your side at all.
Please, would you tell me why that is?
Please!
I told you didn't I.
The chief. Next door's Swallow Marketing,
they've agreed to try it out for a month.
What!
-Ah, I see, well done. -Hey, what did you do?
-Nothing in particular. -You're lying. I went there three times and
and three times I got shot down. -Seriously
they didn't saying anything about leaving it there.
Well, weird women
do seem to be attracted to you. -Hey, that's too rude!
That's right. Even if you really think that, you shouldn't say it.
But you think so too, don't you Chief.
It really is odd, that she'd suddenly change her mind.
I don't think it's normal.
Do you know why she saw you as hostile?
It's because I don't know that it's become a problem.
It seems you shut the lift door on her.
-What? I did? -Yes.
She told me "he surely must have seen me, but
he kept pressing the close button."
Not just the one time. Two times.
Ah... No no no, not two times.
So, you do have an idea about the first time then.
I was in a real rush at the time.
-Japan were playing in a match. -But it's amazing.
On just your second day here you got work from next door.
No no, not at all.
It's just a trial, so we have to keep at it.
Yes...
I'm home.
It's worth going and coming back just to see you so surprised each time.
Seriously, would you quit coming into my home uninvited.
Understood, from now on I'll ring the intercom and then come in.
No, that's not the issue, and take your shoes off!
I told you, they're clean.
Ah... hey hey hey.
You got praised at work?
What?
Why didn't you approach her?
You confirmed she sits behind you right?
Ah... I'm just letting you know,
it's not like I believe all of this.
Didn't it come back to you when you got a closer look at Haruko?
Remember what?
She's the first girl's hand you held, aside from your mother.
You're kidding me?
It was your 5th summer, and the first time going to the seaside.
The person in the photo is Haruko.
The two of you built a sand castle and dug in it a tunnel,
I remember. In the tunnel suddenly our hands touched.
You were shocked, a strange sensation ran through you.
-So in short, she was your first love. -First love?
Yes! First Love!
I'm not doing it...
So, am I her first love too?
I'm sure you remember this pencil?
-Well I bought that myself... -Fool!
During the entrance exams at the university,
the girl sitting behind you, gave it to you.
The seat behind me?
She went to the same university.
Your entrance number was 3340,
and hers 3341.
-Can't you just feel destiny? -Yes...
The girl behind me who lent me the pencil...
Not that!
The number 3341. If you sound it out...
Erm... 'san'
-Sandy! -'samishi' lonely
You get it now? Fate has been giving you lots of hints.
There's no way I'd notice that.
No matter how thick headed you are. With this you'll get it.
Here.
It's her! On your first shrine visit this year.
You put your hands together and a coin hit you in the back of the head.
A five yen coin fell into your hood.
You know everything about me.
It was a coin that she threw.
Is that right?
So therefore, she's paid you directly.
She wished to meet someone and to get married.
Furthermore she paid an additional 500yen.
She wrote down her wish on a tablet and left it there.
You didn't notice at all.
Of course I wouldn't notice something like that.
There really is no limit to your thick-headedness.
That fated 5 yen, you gave it to the pizza man!
-Can I be frank with you? -Yes.
Actually she is my type.
Of course she is. That's great. Awesome!
If your fated person, wasn't your type then
I think that would be a downer. But with her, it would be fine.
Well then, tomorrow you should go see her.
But really... I think it would be better if I
took my time to properly, to respectfully and carefully approach her.
Have you already forgotten? If you don't get together with her by the end of the year
the earth will be destroyed.
I'm just saying, this isn't a game.
-Yes. -Yes, yes.
Truly.
-I'm home. -Welcome back.
Did you get me some batteries?
Yep. Is 4 enough?
-I only needed 2. -At least you have enough.
Your Dad's always been like that.
-I'm used to it already. -What are you saying?
When someone buys something for you,
the only thing you need to say is 'thanks.'
I was going to and then you started saying weird things.
Saying things like 'I only needed two,' is definitely not appropriate.
It's fine, I'm not bothered.
I hear that Kaori-chan next door got married.
Ah, is that right.
I hear they had the ceremony in Hawaii. Isn't that lovely?
I'm already this old and I've never been.
Dad, why don't you take her.
Hawaii's not that interesting.
Kaori-chan, she's two years younger than you isn't she?
Yes, that's right.
-How have you been recently? -How do you mean?
You used to bring boyfriends home.
If I had one, I'd bring him home.
Is that so? We thought you were
being considerate of us, not bringing them here.
I'm going to take a bath.
There might not be enough water so add some okay.
Okay.
Hey you too, don't say inappropriate things.
What? What do you mean inappropriate?
Haruko's got her own life to live.
We should be sensitive to her.
But, Kaori-chan got married.
Until recently, she had fake fingernails and every week came home in the early hours.
I never thought she be first to marry.
The meteor will impact shortly.
Everyone, goodbye!
Why didn't you marry her?
You were told she was your destined one!
It's your fault we're all done for.
Masaki Makoto's you're here aren't you. It's your fault!
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Masaki-kun! Good work.
-Good morning. -Leave it here.
Yes, well everybody, sorry to bother you during work.
Goodness, how strong!
It takes time and money to colour your hair.
There were a large number of responses to that effect,
So it would be best to focus on these 2 points.
It's thought that the customer appeal would be high.
Well, if I go to an estate agent
In summer it's barley tea in winter it's green tea.
Tea made with normal water, and tea made with our company's water
please taste them and compare.
I think that you'll notice the difference.
We're quite particular about the tea leaves we use.
So we've not the time to be fussy about the water too.
Anyway, is water something that you buy?
Delicious and safe water, in your daily life...
After all the sun and the sky don't cost money do they.
Is it fair that we have to buy water?
Hey, hey. Are you free next Friday?
-Why? -There's a drinks party, will you come?
Actually, I really think you had better come.
Have you had a proper talk with your boyfriend?
Just as you told me to, I broke up with him.
-And so, straight away a drinks party? -Yep.
I've seen some pics and they're all above average,
they're all business men and, of course, single.
Can you really be sure of that.
-Haruko, that's no good. -What is?
Assuming all business men just play around, it's prejudiced.
But a high percentage of them do.
I know someone who said they were single but was in fact married.
Ah ouch. You cried didn't you.
I never cried in front of you, not even the once.
I think it's wrong to assume that therefore
all business men are the same.
I need someone with their feet on the ground.
Someone who suits my stature.
a realistic encounter is what I need.
So, let me ask you, how do you intend to meet this person?
Do you think they'll approach you if you just stand around waiting with you finger in your mouth?
I've my own way of thinking.
Anyone, one thing's for sure, I'm not going to the drinks party.
I see, I understand.
I'm not inviting you to these high class events again!
That would be much appreciated.
I wish to meet my destined other half and get married.
-Masaki-kun. -Yes!
Would you go on a business trip for me tomorrow?
Ah, of course.
It's a request from a particular customer,
-It's far into the mountains. -They want our water in the mountains?
I think they're probably just window shopping.
Even so,
we have to respond to it.
-If you don't mind. -Yes.
Shall I go instead?
No, I'll go.
Thank you very much.
-First floor okay? -Yes.
-Please go ahead. -Erm...
Go on.
Thank you very much.
Erm!
Please don't be alarmed, just listen.
It seems you are my destined partner.
What!
You're thinking, what on earth is he saying,
I understand all to well that feeling. Could I have a moment of your time?
I'm sorry, but if this is some sort of invitation, I have to refuse.
Invitation? No, no, no.
-No nothing dodgy like that at all. -So what do you want to discuss?
-As I said, destiny. That sounds even more dodgy.
Also didn't believe it at first either,
but when I listened to him it didn't seem to be a lie.
Who are you talking about?
God.
A man calling himself God.
I'm not interested in religion so...
It's not about that!
-I'm calling the police! -Me too!
That's exactly what I said too! And then he started talking about
how we have an important role to play in saving the world.
-A role to play... -That's right.
Our child will be the saviour of the world.
Shall we go to a café or something?
This man is following me and bothering me.
Following?
Hey wait, this is a misunderstanding!
Wait, wait! No, this is a misunderstanding!
Wait! Hey!
Hey, wait!
Ow! It hurts!
Because of you, I got into trouble.
That's because your method of approach was all wrong.
There are much better ways of going about it.
I'm fed up with it.
Would you quit following me around?
Just like you, she has bad luck with men.
And so she's become very wary.
Don't put us in the same boat.
Of course men would run away from someone that strong-willed.
She's suffered with those feelings,
just like you have, with your bad luck with women.
Aren't you the one that can understand her the best?
But, all of that
it's so the two of you can run into each other.
-You understand don't you? -I don't! I don't understand anything.
She doesn't sense this 'destiny' either.
And she's no interest in the future of 30 years from now.
Even so,
you should return something you borrowed. Am I wrong?
If you shave in the evening, the batteries will run out.
I have to get up early tomorrow.
-You'll shave tomorrow morning anyway. -It's a problem if I don't have time to shave.
That's never actually happened.
You never know, tomorrow might be the day it happens.
-The class reunion invite came. -I know, I already refused.
You refused? Here...
Aren't you going to reply with the postcard?
-I got the same invite via SNS. -Why aren't you going?
I already see the people I want to meet.
Your father also had no interest in going to his class reunion.
But if I hadn't got my arse into gear,
we'd have never got married right? -Right.
Are you trying to say I'll find a marriage partner if I go to the reunion?
Well, I'm not really saying that right?
Yes, there are all sorts of opportunities. Don't make it out to be a pain
be proactive and get your face out there.
-Ah, I won't be needing dinner tomorrow. -Why's that?
I'm going on a business trip and I'll be back late.
If it looks like you'll be really late I'll pick you up from the station.
Thanks, I'll let you know.
Can I come to the drinks party next week?
Great! You're a life-saver!
It's cold!
Delicious!
Good day.
I'm Masaki of Welcome Water.
Thank you for coming so far to see us.
It's only small but please come in.
Thank you.
-Yes, this is delicious. -Pardon?
-It really spreads through the body. -Ah... thank you very much.
-Let's go with this. -Yes, let's.
Erm... it might be a little odd for me to ask this but,
there is really delicious water flowing through the village.
It just doesn't seem to suit our bodies.
It's been 58 years since we moved here but
it's always been a concern for us.
-58 years... -That's right.
And so, we just happened to see your company's advertisement.
Ah, yes, my company's water... Excuse me.
For using the water, we have this dispenser.
We have to install it somewhere...
You could put it by that post there.
Ah, no, no, no!
I don't think it would be best to put it there.
-Why is that? Well, it wouldn't suit the harmony of the room.
This is such a lovely place.
I think it will stick out like a sore thumb.
We don't care about that.
That's right. What's important to us is
that we can drink delicious water that suits our bodies, everyday.
Well, if you say so, I will take you at your word.
In that case, shall we have another dispenser in the other room?
Ah, no, no, no. One will be enough.
It's definitely sufficient. Let's go with just the one.
Yes, the contract... Yes, they agreed to it.
Ah, well I don't really
get it myself. It's something to do with their circumstances...
Yes, right.
Ah, yes, yes, good job.
Ah, wait a moment!
Seriously, could you please cut it out!
I think you're mistaken.
I came here today with work.
Look! I have a contract here with today's date.
And the address is this village.
Is it you that's following me?
What?! Why on earth would I follow you?
-Well then, why are you here? -There's an old bakery here
I've come to get samples.
Ah... we do really seem to be connected in a mysterious sort of way.
That's enough 'destiny' talk.
Here.
This is your pencil isn't it.
Keimei University, the entrance exams for the economics department.
I was sitting in front of you.
What?
I was in a flap because I forgot my pencil, and you spoke to me.
Would you like this?
Thank you.
I was going to return it to you after the exam but,
you'd already disappeared.
Ah...
See this picture. This is me and
the other person is you, isn't it?
I don't believe it...
We made this sand castle together 25 years ago.
Can you believe it?
I too, didn't believe in destiny.
To the contrary, I always thought it was stupidity.
I always blamed myself for things not working out in my love life.
I've blamed society too.
But that's not it.
The reason it hasn't gone well is
they weren't my destined other half.
Haruko-San.
Just like me, you've had a tough love life haven't you?
You too have always been waiting for your destined partner, haven't you.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
I am your destined partner.
-Yuck -What?
It's really yucky.
Please don't talk to me again.
-Eh, what a wonderful conversation! What's wonderful about it!
After all you two met coincidentally when you were little.
-And now you work next door to each other. -It's just yucky.
-It's definitely destiny. -Don't use the word destiny so lightly.
Just the thought that I'll see him at the office tomorrow is depressing.
Hey. Don't you think that he must have
really summoned his courage to approach you?
It's scary and exhausting and not normal.
-In what way is it scary. -If a stranger comes up and suddenly says
'I'm your destined partner', what would you think!
-First off, I'd burst out laughing. -Why would you do that?
Anyway, he's not a stranger is he.
Your lives have touched many times before.
Practically speaking, it was our first meeting.
Don't be so defensive. For now, why don't you
start off with being friends. -Why should I do that?
It's not everyday your destined partner appears.
'Destined meeting' it's just a fantasy.
I believe in it.
Your destined partner comes to take you away from your dreary day to day existence.
Listen. Destiny is something that you first understand
when you get married.
How can you understand when you're not married.
I do understand. I've been doing marketing for many years now.
Miss, marketing is marketing.
I'm home.
Hey, hey. You heard didn't you!
At least reply!
Hey, wait!
It's fine, just come in.
-You called? -Yes.
Look, if the fate of the world is in my hands then,
sort out some suitable weaponry for me. -Suitable weaponry?
This destiny business, isn't proving helpful at all.
It's that useless?
With the Japanese companies of today 'destiny' is the weakest of all weapons.
If you're going to fight with 'destiny' you'd be better off fighting bare-handed.
-It's just a pick-up line. -No, but
I'm saying that, when it comes to destiny
you'd be better off not saying anything.
This is because you've not yet properly mastered the use of destiny.
No, look, in the first place. Yes, in the first place?
Why do I have to marry someone that I don't love?
-You said she was your type. -No, no, no...
I've talked to her twice and it's tedious.
Getting together with such a cold woman...
I can't imagine it.
That's a pity.
But the two of you, just have to...
So you do something!
You're God right. God.
Don't make it my fault. You do something!
It's not my fault the world's going to be
destroyed in 30 years time. And it's not her fault either.
Isn't it just that
that's the earth's destiny in the first place.
Well, I guess you could think of it that way.
Okay then, since you understand hurry up and leave.
I'm sorry about all this.
-What is this? -Ah, I have a spare ticket.
-Classical music? -I thought it would be better than throwing it away.
Why did you buy the ticket in the first place?
It's not like I particularly wanted to go.
Ah, it was for woman that got arrested?
Matsushita Akane-chan. Real name Onodera Makiko, suspect.
Don't remember that.
Is there some girl you'd like to go with?
If I'd wanted to go I wouldn't have said anything to you.
If you put some effort in, you can find someone to take.
For the time being, I'm going to leave women be.
After all, it's men that do the running.
Right.
I'm the idiot for inviting you.
Ah, Midori-chan, are you free tomorrow? You're busy. Of course.
That's right.
Symphony No. 5 'Destiny'
You did really well! Well done!
Ah, I'm glad we've met again.
I'm home.
Are you starting to believe a little in destiny?
Maybe a little. Really just a tiny bit.
A standing ovation.
Isn't that something passed on to you by the orchestra?
-You noticed? -Eh, what do you mean?
Blessing the two's meeting. It's applause from 30 years in the future.
-Bravo! -Ah, don't tease me!
It seems like you've finally remembered what happened that day.
I couldn't believe it but,
'destiny' is pushing us that far
quite frankly it's amazing. -Isn't it!
-But destiny has a sense of irony. -Eh?
The batter who made that last hit.
Things are still not settled with him.
How do you mean?
He's called Sayoka-kun.
He's soon to be reunited with her after many years.
I expect it's going to feel strongly like destiny.
Eh, but... Isn't that bad?
Yes it's bad. Really bad.
So this time, you have to properly face your rival.
Well, that goes without saying.
I'm not going to lose to the same person twice.
Otherwise a meteor is going hit the earth.
Bang! I'm leaving it in your hands!
I understand.
Ah, just so you know,
this isn't a game.
-And so, please use this. -Thank you very much.
