"Aren't you lonely by yourself?"
"Decided! Life partner!"
Hmm?
"I got married"
"At 40 years old..."
"I'm married at last"
Are you kidding me?
And...
who's Otearai? (spelled same as Mitearai)
Delete
Hey for this thing,
you used the material I asked for right?
Yes I followed your direction
Good
Eh?
What's this?
This wasn't in the plan
Of course!
What are you going to do?
I thought it might look better this way
What?
Just kidding~
I was just pranking
Oh man... you're such a prankster!
I was just pranking
Hey, if you had that kind of time, do your job right!
It's a humor!
How's that a humor?
You do such shoddy work
What does that have to do with humor?!
Hey that's dangerous!
Are you ok?
World Housing really wants you to come on board
I'm really flattered that they think highly of me...
The fact that a large home builder,
is putting you in charge on new project,
isn't something that happens often
In addition to working on large projects,
your pay will go up a lot too
Of course I understand this is a very rare opportunity
But I'm in the middle of many things
Well, if you can come to a decision soon
I'll think about it and let you know
Excuse me
Hello?
Ah Eiji?
What? Again?
OK, I'm on my way
I'm really sorry
But it looks like there's a trouble on the site
Would you evaluate this in positive manner?
Yes
I'll call you again
I'm sorry
I was able to calm the site manager down,
so he'll resume the work
Sorry as always
Where's Kuwano-san?
He's working, pretending not to hear this
Well whatever
Tell him that we have meeting with the Tachibanas at 3 tomorrow
Bye
You're always causing trouble for Sawazaki-san
Hey,
Building a house is a teamwork
She takes care of these kinds of troubles, so I can focus on the plans
It's called division of labor
What a nice concept...
Then what if Sawazaki-san isn't around?
There's no point answering that hypothetical question
I'm really sorry
This must be tiring for you
OK, let's work!
Yes
Umm,
Why do you always have to bow your head for Kuwano-san?
Because solving troubles is part of my paycheck
Mmm...
But...
I think he's relying on you too much
What's going to happen if you get another job?
What is it?
Ugh I can't take it I'm tired of agonizing over this by myself
I'm only gonna tell you
What is it?
You can't tell anybody else
Especially Kuwano-san
Eh? Scout?
It's still a secret...
...especially to Kuwano-san
It's ok, he's already gone
By the way, which company is scouting her?
Uh huh
Whoa, that's awesome
I guess capable workers do get scouted
Scout?
Ack!
I forgot to take the memory
Who's being scouted?
Ah um...
Eh?
Scout...
That's not good
How come beer taste so good after work?!
It's especially tasty after the trouble I solved today
Trouble as in, something Kuwano-san did?
Well yeah
After working with Kuwano-san for 8 years, don't you think you've become a bit weird?
Well he is good at what he does but sometimes it's a bit too much to take
Well with his kind of personality life would be tough if he wasn't talented
After working with him for 8 years,
I can tell what he's thinking, just by looking at his expression
So we get along better than you two are thinking
You can tell by his expression alone?
If the tip of his lips start twitching,
he's holding back something
Mmm I see!
How is that knowledge any useful?
I guess not
Ah, Hayasaki-san, didn't you go on an omiai?
Well...
Let's not talk about that
I asked, but she wouldn't tell me anything
It was an unlucky streak for awhile
Do you think Kuwano-san ever went on an omiai?
Probably not
But if you just look at his photo and profile,
you can get tricked into wanting to meet him
But once you meet him, you'd be like "what the heck?!"
Ah!
This is empty right?
Today's ladies only...
How did you find out about here?
I asked your underling
It's Saori. Please try to remember her name
I heard about the job offer too
What?
I told her to not say anything..
Job offer? To another company?
Which company?
World Housing
Really? Are you serious?
Wow, World Housing That's great!
Looks like they recognize your talent
How nice~ I wonder if I'll ever get a chance like that~
Shall we celebrate?
Yes
Here
- 3 more 500cc please! - I'm still thinking about it
It hasn't been decided yet...
Kuwano-san, what are you doing?
Well you know, I...
It's a show time!!
Not again...
So?
You know umm...
I umm...
Kekkon Dekinai Otoko
Translation: InCyphe (-.,-);
What happened?
I feel a bit dizzy
Dizziness can be a possible symptom for some diseases
Let's take your blood pressure Mari-chan, get ready for blood pressure
Yes ma'am
Kuwano-san?
You wish Sawazaki-san didn't switch job, right?
Eh?
You weren't able to tell her that day
Ah~ this must be it?!
Eh?
Whenever you're holding back to say something,
the tip of your lips twitch
Why not just tell Sawazaki-san?
That you want to continue to work with her
That's not it
Without her, it's just difficult to resolve troubles
Eh?
I wouldn't be able to focus on my work
What's that supposed to mean?
You're interfering her career path over THAT?
I wasn't interfering...
But if it wasn't for the samba dancers you would have!
Doctor Hayasaka,
please review the test
Ok
Instead of thinking about yourself,
shouldn't you think about this career move,
in terms of what is good for Sawazaki-san?
Lecturing me again huh
You are not able to resolve troubles on your own?
I can certainly do it myself
But
You're choosing not to do it?
Yeah
In order to focus on plan design, we're just splitting our tasks
I'm certainly capable of resolving troubles on my own
Ah~ really?
Kazumi-chan~
Yes
Blood pressure is 140/90
That's high!
You're the one raising it
Wow, amazing!
What is it?
When I searched Kuwano-san, there are 3000 results!
Why are you searching Kuwano-san?
Well I just got curious
Yesterday, I heard Kuwano-san is really good at what he does
Plan Design Kuwano Shinsuke
Wow~
Such a nice kitchen~
I wanna get married and live in a house like this~
If he can design houses like this,
I guess it's not weird to want to work with him
Kaneda updated his site
Eh?
I've recently become fond of bowling
I've recently become fond of bowling Bowling?
What's the average?
This way please
Tachinaba-san is here
Hello
Pleased to meet you Yoroshiku onegaishimasu
Please have a seat there
Where's Sawazaki-san?
She's not here yet
One moment
That couple... is like this now. (they fought)
How come?
In exchange for building a house
he wants his wife to quit work and focus on housekeeping
But the wife wants to continue to work
It's a complete deadlock
They should've made up before coming here...
Well I'm sure Sawazaki-san will take care of this
I'll make some coffee
Hello
What's up with you
You're late!
Sorry
Actually, my grandma passed away
What?
I gotta go now
Can you run the meeting without me?
Ok, then.. please send my... regard..
She already passed away
Ah.. then about this...
it's really regrettable...
Don't force yourself to say something
She was 98 and went peacefully
Everybody was relieved
I'll call you later, bye
Ah wait
What?
About the new job offer If you want, go ahead and take it
Eh?
What is it all of a sudden?
I'll be fine
Bye
Here you go
Ma'am,
please don't be mad
I'm not mad
Ah really
Ok
If that's what you want, then you can keep working
See, problem solved!
It's not solved!
By letting me work,
you're gonna think that I owe you?
That's not true
See he's the type to make you look like a fool
Do I look like that?
No you look normal
Well after hearing this,
Ma'am I think you're thinking too much
Your husband needs you,
and wants you to stay home
Is there anybody at your work who needs you as much as he does?
Isn't it nice to stay where you're needed?
Rather than staying where you don't really matter?
Are you telling me I'm incompetent?
And that I should just do house chores?
Well no I didn't say that
Eh?
Wait a minute!
See?
Without Sawazaki-san, it's hard to deal with situation like this
There's still another chance
Yeah I wonder?!
We have to leave it to Sawazaki-san
Did you know Mom plans on living in a nursing home?
Mm yeah
She told me recently
Eh? And you just listened?
You didn't say, "Why don't you move in with me?"
Take a guess?
She's your parent
Well she has her own will too
Yumi,
you like Grannie right?
Yup,
she gives me lots of allowance~
Hey,
maybe we should live with Mom?
Yeah.
That reminds me Did you get an email from Mitearai, *(Kuwano misread Miteari as Otearai which means bathroom)
that she got married... *(Kuwano misread Miteari as Otearai which means bathroom)
You're changing the topic.
You know,
Mom's not going to live here,
since you're now part of Nakagawas
so she feels like she's imposing.
You know,
whenever I think about how Mom lives alone,
my heart really hurts
Even though she says she doesn't want to live with you,
I wonder how she REALLY feels
...that is, if you get married
By the way, who is Miteari?
Good evening
Oh my, how cute!
What's your name?
It's Ken
Ah Ken!
Your eyes are cute
Reminds me of someone...
Ah he's late~
Are you waiting for someone?
I brought something for my son...
Shall I hold onto it for you? What's the unit?
It's 502
Huh?
That's...
Eh?
It's raining
Ah I see
Are you friendly with Shinsuke?
Well, we're not that close
It's so hard to find a wife for him
You must be worried
I heard about a doctor named Hayasaka-san,
and I wonder if she's a good fit
I know Natsumi-san well,
but I don't think it'll work out
Ah is that so?
Also, Natsumi-san recently went on an omiai
Ah...
Sorry, but how old are you?
Huh?
Are you planning on getting married?
Ah well...
Ah that's right!
There is someone who's a good match for Kuwano-san!
Who?
It's someone Kuwano-san works with
Her name is Sawazaki-san. Do you know?
No
He doesn't tell me anything
They've worked together for a long time so they respect each other
It's almost wasteful to leave it at coworker relationship
Oh wow~
Ah that person...
What's her name again?
Sawazaki-san.
Sawazaki-san?
About how old is she?
Ah it's wet.
Mmmm...
Looks like the rain stopped.
Ah you're right
I can't believe at this age,
I never imagined I'd be looking for a wife for my son.
It must be hard for you.
Hey over there!
Eh?
What are you doing?
Ah that's right. Wait a sec.
What?
It started raining suddenly so she simply came to take shelter.
Hey this...
It's a champagne I got as a gift.
I figured I'd give it to you
Here I figured I'd give it to you
Here
It's too far to reach it
That's no good
You're Ken right?
Sorry
Thanks for telling me about that
Ah it's nothing!
What did you tell her?
Can I ask you in detail?
Sure!
Ken, let's go!
Ah!
Kaneda
Totally hooked huh
Sawazaki hall
Sawazaki hall Thank you for coming
Thank you for coming
We couldn't make it to the funeral
so we should at least attend otsuya *otsuya: (evening ceremony)
Are you Ok?
Yesterday, Kuwano told me that I should accept the job offer
Is that so?
In his own way, maybe he's looking out for my best interest.
Sawazaki-san,
it seems like you're still torn.
Even though Kuwano-san said it's ok.
That appears to be the case.
I wonder what he is really thinking.
But in the end, it's your decision
Regardless of what he says.
I guess so.
But it still worries me.
About the job offer,
why don't you tell him that you accepted it?
And see how he reacts?
That's a good idea.
Ah,
I have something I have to tell you Sawazaki-san.
What is it?
I met with Kuwano-san's mother yesterday.
What?
And?
She was considering me as his marriage prospect,
so I ended up nominating you instead.
Eh?
I'm sorry.
It's nothing to apologize.
But I think she eyed Natsumi-san first.
Ah really?
But then I realized,
it's Sawazaki-san who knows Kuwano-san the best,
so I figured it's ok to nominate you.
That's true.
That's probably true.
Ah... well...
Wha...you were over there?
How was it,
Meeting with Tachinaba-san?
Hmm?
There was no problem.
That's good~
When I first met the wife,
she seemed very nervous, so I was worried
Ah I figured.
Huh?
What were you guys talking about?
Well we'll get going....
Shall we?
Ah wait!
Excuse me.
Um..
What did you tell Mom yesterday?
Well then,
we'll get going.
Thank you for today.
Sheesh..
Strange people.
Hey, did you light the incense?
I did
About this... well how should I..
Thank you.
I'm gonna go too.
Should I give you a ride?
No it's ok.
I can be away for awhile,
since I'm not the 'moshu' (chief mourner)
Kind of feels weird to be in a car with you.
Like I'm nervous or something.
That's why I didn't want the ride.
Please make a right after 200 meters.
Right turn?
No,
It should be straight.
Eh? Really?
They built a new road recently.
but I guess this thing doesn't it know yet.
Please make a right after 100 meters.
Liar.
So there's a new road huh.
You came to the construction site around here before.
I wouldn't know because I took the train.
Please make a right after 50 meters.
Who do you trust, me or the machine?
Ok
Right turn coming up.
Route has changed Please make a right at the next light.
Still blabbering.
Route has changed.
I guess they're not done yet.
How strange...
Why am I not mad at you over this?
What?
Wanna take a break?
Thank you for today.
No problem.
My grandma,
whenever I brought over friends,
she became very happy.
I'm thinking,
I'm going to take the job offer.
Huh?
Ah.. really?
Well you're free to do so, right?
So it's good
I'll go buy some juice
Ah crap,
Maybe I should've ironed these.
Yes!
Why didn't you know?
I had no idea!
Again huh
It's true!
Welcome.
Hello.
The usual...
Hey you know,
Even though I look like this
I really like bowling.
What a coincidence.
I'm totally hooked on it these days.
Really?
Yeah
Wanna go together sometime?
That's fine...
But I don't like men who's worse than me
I don't mean to brag,
but I score over 200
Really?
Yup
Shall we go then?
Sure
Excuse me
After I heard that she liked bowling,
I've been practicing hard for this moment
That's amazing
Why even bother...
You don't need spoon right?
Nope
You don't have point card right?
Nope
It's 1120 yen
Actually, please give me the spoon
Welcome
Eh?
Looks like you have unreturned DVD?
No I don't
Weird
Ah..
wait a second
I do
Good morning
Ah good morning
Mr. Tachinaba from before just called,
and said reconciliation seems difficult at the moment,
so he wants to put the construction on hold
Ah.. really?
Ah~ I guess I'll have to ask Sawazaki-san
Did you tell her what happened?
I guess you didn't
Shush, just get back to work!
There is no work!
Because I had to clear out schedule for Tachinabas
I wonder if Sawazaki-san is going to take the offer~
Well it's a good offer, so maybe there's nothing we can do
But I wonder if we can get by without her
-Her replacement is coming soon -Where?
If there is, please introduce me
Absolutely there is...
Hello
Ah Sawazaki-san?
Thank you for yesterday
Ah no problem
Just like you suggested,
I told him that I'm accepting the offer
Ah.. so how did it go?
He seemed taken aback by it
Really?
So what are you going to do?
Well...
I think I'm going to take the offer
Really?
It's a very good offer,
and also a good opportunity for myself
Besides,
regardless of work, I can still be by his side
Ah~
I thought that arrangement would be feasible too
Ah I guess so
That looks yummy~
Let's get something else
Yeah
You feel dizzy again?
Yeah,
I don't feel good after eating
Did you throw up?
I felt like throwing up
So I wonder what's going on
Flu can sometimes accompany throwing up
Open your mouth
Mouth!
What's the matter?
It's all because you told me to look at this from Sawazaki's perspective,
and that I should take care of problems by myself
It seems like you told Sawazaki-san, that you are ok with her job switch
Yes I did
But in order for me to design a house that people will be happy with...
I need her
Then tell her not to go
How can I say that now?
That's that then
If you don't want her to go,
then tell her not to go with your own mouth
So what's it going to be?
How cold...
Huh?
By any chance,
you want me to tell her this?
Is that what you're hoping for?
Forget it
Is this strictly work related?
Eh?
Even if Sawazaki-san transfered,
it's still possible to continue non-work related relationship
Non-work related...
What do you exactly mean?
Ah, like hobbies?
Good bye
Ah wait, how irritating!
Maybe,
Maybe, she likes you
Eh?
What a nonsense...
Maybe she has come to like you only recently,
or just suppressed her feelings towards you all along, that I don't know
But...
Wait a minute...
She wanted to test your feelings,
by telling you that she's going to accept the offer
And how you do know this?
Because it was my suggestion
What a silly thing you've done...
At this rate, she WILL leave
Please resolve your problem on your own
I'm doing you a big favor by telling you this
What is she talking about?
Hello?
Ah Yamashita-san
Won't you make a decision soon?
The World's Housing director really wants to meet you
Then tomorrow
Ok
10 O'clock at the café
Eh? Kuwano-san and Sawazaki-san?
Yeah
Aren't they a good match?
It won't happen
But if they're so close together all the time...
That's not what I'm saying...
Oh, aren't you guys an office couple too?
Ah that's true
It's easy to coordinate dates, right?
Yup,
And it's easy to find out if you're cheating
But the downside of dating a coworker is
after breaking up, you still need to face each other
If it doesn't progress to marriage, the office relationship ends in tragedy
You should worry about yourself~
I know~
Ah~ isn't there a way to catch them all in a dragnet,
and take my time picking out the man I like?
No there isn't!
I was kidding!
You don't have to say it like that~
Why is that whenever we meet,
we're always talking about whether, Michiru-san will find a man or not?
Well she's not dependable, so she's probably worried
Am I that not dependable?
Fine
I won't rely on you guys anymore
Sorry for causing problem
I just want to be happy
Ken, you won't ever mistreat me right?
Eh.. Ken?~
Ah!!!
You two... I knew it!
What?
I've had enough!
All of you!
Eh?
Oh boy...
Hello?
What's up?
I just heard from Saori,
that Sawazaki-san is going to be at the café tomorrow at 10:30,
to meet the headhunter
So?
Well,
I was just curious what her decision would be
Who cares
No...
Have you decided?
Yes
Let's hear it
I've thought about this, but to cut to the chase..
What is it?
There was a man looking this way
I wonder who it is?
Sorry,
can you wait for a moment?
Sure
What's up?
What is it?
Don't go
Eh?
I said don't go
What are you saying?
What do you mean...
It's a very good offer
with a very good pay
I'll get to work on big projects
You still don't want me to go?
But...
Yeah,
we've become such good partners
Partners?
Well I mean...
You're... um..
capable
You can find other capable people
My design plan, along with your ability to manage,
that collaboration is driving force of creativity
I don't know what you're talking about
In other words...
The only person who can resolve, troubles I cause without complaint,
is you
Without complaint and moaning,
and not getting awkward as an opposite sex,
and just focus on work.
For that,
the only person I feel at ease,
is you
So that's it huh?
No.. I mean...
I get it
So ridiculous
So in summary,
you just want to continue our current work partnership
Umm,
but if you really want to do it (switch job)...
I do like the houses you design
And if I go to another place, I wouldn't be able to work with your houses anymore
I guess there's nothing I can do,
about your unsalvageable personality,
but to put up with it
But,
we only meet as workplace colleagues, ok?
If that's what you want...
Let's remain as good colleagues
OK
Let's
Well,
that person is still waiting for me
Alright!
Ah
Ah! I was going to turn down the offer
Eh?
Is that so?
Since he was being like that, I couldn't refuse...
on many levels...
on many levels huh
So I wanted to let you know what happened
Well then
Yes?
Excuse me
Hello
Are you not feeling well?
No,
I just wanted to ask you something
What is it?
Do you happened to know Sawazaki-san?
Yes
What kind of person is she?
Umm...
Sawazaki-san probably isn't going to marry Kuwano-san
Huh?
She decided to remain as a colleague
Ah is that so?
Please take care of us
Please build a good house for us
I'll whip Kuwano-san's butt, and try to live up to your expectation
Please count on it
We're going on our anniversary trip
Oh my,
how nice!
Bye
So how did you get them to make up?
After listening to the wife,
she was just mad that he didn't realize that tomorrow is their anniversary
So I quietly let the husband know
Ah you're amazing
Ability to understand a woman's feeling, is necessary to build a good house.
Division of labor I'll leave that up to you
To give up on trying to understand women...
- He's not getting married for now - That's not true
More like FOREVER~
