At least decide the place you'll live, by yourself.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
The one that has changed is you.
I cannot marry.
I cannot follow you now.
You prefer work over marriage. I felt that...
somewhere in my heart.
Gotta go to work..
(Amano Kinue - Echizen-ya Department Store, Assistant Buyer)
That dress arrived from Milan.
Yes.
Put it on the main display now.
With a jacket, in cool way.
Hurry!
A zombie-like thing has arrived.
A zombie?
Morning..
Good morning.
Amano-san, you haven't worn those glasses in a while.
Considerably degenerated.
Here we have the new articles from Echizen-ya's collaboration with Bleuet.
Since chief manager Jinbo's inauguration
the performance of Echizen-ya Department Store has increased rapidly.
Please tell us about the recent developments.
A woman's life is constantly changing.
(Jinbo Miki - Echizen-ya, Women's Clothing Department, Executive Manager) A woman's life is constantly changing.
(Jinbo Miki - Echizen-ya, Women's Clothing Department, Executive Manager) We want to supply our customers...
...with clothes that will empower them to start...
...a new stage of life with pride and confidence.
At Echizen-ya, the so-called "Real Clothes"...
(Ozaki Takashi - Echizen-ya, Enterprise Strategy Section, Chief Manager) Now her face brims over with confidence.
(Ozaki Takashi - Echizen-ya, Enterprise Strategy Section, Chief Manager) Did she just say all the credit is hers?
Manager, about that case, we're still in a difficult situation.
That's not a problem.
Because we have...
a chief manager with perfect charisma in our house.
I finished pricing for the clearance sale.
Ah.
And about the collaboration project, I want to visit our partner, so when would be appropriate?
Ah, I'll ask them. (Tabuchi Yusaku - Echizen-ya chief buyer)
Please decide it right now. (Tabuchi Yusaku - Echizen-ya chief buyer)
Yeah, later. (Tabuchi Yusaku - Echizen-ya chief buyer)
Yeah, later.
Right now!
Yes.
What was that? She's so full of energy.
(Tahara Rika, Shirokawa Nicolas Bouquet - Echizen-ya, Assistant Buyers) What was that? She's so full of energy.
(Tahara Rika, Shirokawa Nicolas Bouquet - Echizen-ya, Assistant Buyers)
That's not quite so. (Tahara Rika, Shirokawa Nicolas Bouquet - Echizen-ya, Assistant Buyers)
Look. (Tahara Rika, Shirokawa Nicolas Bouquet - Echizen-ya, Assistant Buyers)
Her battery is empty.
The next moment...
...she gorges carbohydrates.
The next moment...
Yes, this is the acquisitions department.
...again buzzing like a bee.
What's wrong with her?
Cheers!
After the bridal fair, we ended up
postponing our spree, but today anew:
Ladies and gentleman, let's have a good time!
Yay! Yay!
But won't you miss us, Amano-san?
(Yano Kaori, Sakano Yukari, Hoshino Sayuri - "The Space" Sales People) But won't you miss us, Amano-san?
I heard you'll be leaving Echizen-ya. (Yano Kaori, Sakano Yukari, Hoshino Sayuri - "The Space" Sales People)
I heard you'll be leaving Echizen-ya.
You're getting married, aren't you?
What's your boyfriend like?
(Hayashi Yoko, Sasaki Ryo - "The Space" Sales People)
I wanted to talk to you about that...
I, Amano Kinue...
Got dumped?
Eh?
I can tell straightaway.
This ugly outfit.
So?
Um, well...
...dumped, I dumped him.
Well, me dumping him or me getting dumped...
Anyhow, my wedding has been cancelled.
From now on I live to work.
And so; from now on as before...
let's work well together.
Come on! Eat, eat!
Drink, drink.
It must have been hard.
Cheer up soon, okay?
That's a misconception.
Eh?
Just because you broke up with your boyfriend
doesn't mean that you'll automatically succeed at work.
What?
Boss. Stop it. Not tonight.
No boyfriend and incapable at work.
You might become such a woman.
But, I'm glad you're doing well right now.
Please try your best at work.
Nico, my win. $50.
What?
We had a bet.
I said you definitely wouldn't quit.
Sorry about these clothes!
But I am happy in these clothes.
Happy.
Happiness, where is it?
Happiness!
Happiness. Where is it, happiness?
Maybe you'll never marry.
Isn't the watching part interesting? A broken heart at our age.
Even "being dumped" or "breaking up", we must work.
Talking like it doesn't concern you!
How will she overcome it? Amano-san.
It's your fault, boss.
What?
Because you didn't want her to quit.
This is the result of giving her too much work.
No, that is... No way, really.
Take complete responsibility.
Responsibility?
I feel sick.
Need turmeric...
But first, stomach medicine.
[Tatsuya's painkillers]

Dramaniac Fansubs Presents
I am Ozaki from the business strategy section.
In the matter of our yearly image boost event:
The planned basement gourmet event...
...has been cancelled by our sponsors.
We're on an extremely tight schedule, but, another event is needed urgently.
Now?
Will it be on time?
I am sure there will be a suggestion.
Can we count on the help of our successful and brilliant...
...ladies clothing department in this important matter?
An event to improve the business image.
An image boost for the whole store.
You have until the month's end to expand the project.
Till the month's end?
Ozaki should at least give us some leeway
in this freakin' busy time.
I'll think about it fast.
Fine.
Chief manager, there is a rehashed plan from before.
(Tamura Aya (far right) - Jinbo Miki's second assistant) Chief manager, there is a rehashed plan from before.
Where's the proposal?
Here it is.
(Kimura Mizuho - Jinbo Miki's chief assistant)
Could you give me some time to present it? (Kimura Mizuho - Jinbo Miki's chief assistant)
Could you give me some time to present it?
The concept is 'gentle Christmas'.
It's aimed at singles...
Quick at work, as always.
Work.
Live for work.
Miki-sama is on the sales floor.
The Pinky Rider jacket and the large pattern Jersey dress.
Yes.
Ahh, isn't it great?
Let me help you.
I feel a bit awkward.
In such dashing clothes.
It suits you.
Within 3 minutes you'll get used to it.
Yoko-san.
Recommend the rose print cache-coeur dress.
Of course.
Isn't it nice?
Ma'am, how about this dress?
That daring pattern?
Too shrill for me.
It really suits you.
Ah, surprisingly, it's not that shrill, is it?
Miki-sama grasps the nature of the customers at a glance...
Thank you very much.
...and finds clothes which perfectly bring out their charm.
Excuse me.
Yes.
Amano-san.
Don't appear on the sales floor in such thoughtless clothing.
It's impolite towards the customers.
Once again, you don't know what to wear?
Some people just understand.
Eh?
A broken heart.
They're calling you.
The SML sized sisters.
How are you doing?
Have you got time this Friday?
We'll organize a mixed party for you.
What?
Finance, media, IT, sports, baseball and soccer.
What's your taste?
It's not so bad in this company either.
Here.
Echizen-ya's single man ranking list.
It's hard. I know!
Only a new love can heal a broken heart!
Um..!
You don't need to worry about me!
I'm fine.
Thanks a lot.
Ah, wait...
Even if you tell me to 'take complete responsibility'...
Is it really my fault?
Hmm?
Feeling guilty?
What?
Isn't it okay? If you settle down?
Aren't you at a good age?
Aren't you misunderstanding something?
Ah, this is nice.
I like it, this Lanvin fur jacket.
I might just buy some.
(Hachiya Hideaki - Goldy Boutique, Buyer) I might just buy some.

One that chooses by liking, then fails, is an unskilled buyer.
I don't recommend letting personal thoughts dominate.
As expected of Mr. Todai elite, always cool and collected.
I have to go now.
I have a meeting at Matsuyoshi.
Isn't it kind of strange?
Your recent actions.
Why these animosities against Echizen-ya?
I am Jinbo from the Echizen Department Store.
She raised the success of many stores and after 20 years finally returned to Japan.
But why would someone who's so successful in the world...
...return home to Japan?
Ah! Is it reverted affection?
You love me that much?
I dunno.
Pass my regards to your beautiful executive chief manager.
You really don't have any lingering feelings?
Yes. Clean and clear.
It's already a thing of the past.
If that's the case, why not a new love?
For example...
Tabuchi Yusaku.
What?
Ahh.
That wouldn't be a bad choice.
He's capable at work and you can rely on him.
He likes you, Amano-san. Should be a good combination.
No no, no no!
Okay at work, but love is impossible.
Such an insensitive man.
Then, Nicolin?
Eh?
He'd be a nice boyfriend.
He's great at cooking, washing and sewing.
Well, the ideal housewife, right?
But, in the first place, does Nicolin even have an interest in women?
If you want a manly man, this one:
Ozaki from the strategy department.
He's hired from a large consulting firm.
At work, a trump. But he is divorced.
But should be alright for fooling around, a divorced man.
There it is - the queen's spirit.
But I absolutely don't feel like fooling around.
Then, what about that man?
I don't know his name, though.
It's Yanagida-san.
He doesn't seem to be bad.
By the way... aren't you two just making fun of my lost love?
But, seriously! Dating only one man in eight years...
...I would call that fossilized.
Amano-san, because you are now free...
...it's alright that you enjoy yourself, isn't it?
Or, are you still attached to your ex?
I'm over it. Stop talking about it.
Amano-san.
Yes?
I knew it was you.
I'm glad, meeting you in such a place.
May I have a seat?
Yes.
So, the wedding project was Amano-san's?
Yes, that was a great privilege. Amano-san is amazing.
She's Miki-sama's favorite.
Really?
So you're the right hand of chief manager Jinbo?
No, not at all.
I always have to check out your Goldy store at Aoyama.
Ryo-san, it's a pleasure to hear that from you.
Yoko-san, what would you like to drink next?
Isn't he the first prize?
A man who remembers names after five seconds?
Excuse me.
Yes.
This...
He is such a good looking man.
I can forgive some of his attitude.
A male showpiece.
No complains about his style, either.
Walking together wouldn't be embarassing.
How about a dessert?
With pleasure.
And this dessert.
Yes, certainly.
Excuse me for a moment.
Yes?
Ah, wait in that matter.
Yes.
Jinbo Miki's favorite?
From Dobechi.

They were together for eight years, you know?
If its 8 years, that's like from the first day of school to middle school.
(Kinue Mayu - Kinue's little sister) If its 8 years, that's like from the first day of school to middle school.
(Kinue Mayu - Kinue's little sister)
She was with him for so long. (Kinue Mayu - Kinue's little sister)
She was with him for so long.
(Satou Hana - Mayu's friend)
So your sister broke up? (Satou Hana - Mayu's friend)
Finished!
Look!
Oh! That's nice!
Isn't it?
Cute.
(Hori Harumi - Tatsuya's classmate)
(Yamauchi Tatsuya - Kinue's boyfriend)
That was delicious.
But, why did you make me a bento?
Don't ask why.
You haven't been eating properly, have you?
You lost weight.
Hm, I feel weak.
You can't get over her that easily?
But it's already impossible, I properly understand that now.
Such things happen.
Regardless of how much you love them...
Whether you can live together is a different thing.
Have you experienced something like that?
Maybe.
I have to look forward.
Honestly, that you listened to me...
...really helped me a lot.
Of course.
I listen to your love sorrows.
I give you a head massage...
...but it can't always go on like that.
Hm?
Just then, we only talked about her again.
Never mind.
Then, I'll be heading back to work.
Oh.
Thanks for the lunch.
It was good.
Yes, bye.
Wait..Haru-chan?
Yes?
You're returning to Fukushima this weekend?
Yes. I found a good tenant.
I also want to bring some luggage home.
If you like, I can drive you home.
It'd be more enjoyable to talk about things along the way.
About things?
Well, um, like plans for the class reunion or...
...your future hair salon in Fukushima or...
...our time at school, you remember that shop with that awful ramen.
I'll think about it.
See you.
Amano-san.
Yes?
I'll be going home soon.
I want to stay a bit longer.
The image boost event?
That's a big project, isn't it?
I thought I might as well give this a shot.
Don't overwork, okay?
I'm fine...
...cause I'm really motivated now.
When Tabuchi-san comes back I'll grab him and talk to him.
Hm?
The boss still hasn't returned yet?
Recently he's always staying here at night.
I don't care if you're not loved anymore.
What?
Don't tell anyone, but...
Our boss has a fiancée.
Fian..?!
Shh!
You know how he is...
I think he wants to make her feel miserable.
If he bullies you, please fight back.
Yes.
Then, I'm off.
Good work today.
Bye.
What? Did I just get a shock?
[Project Proposal]
Not quite. [Project Proposal]
I'll think again.
Here.
Amano, do you like department stores?
Eh?
I love department stores.
My parents had a shop, so our only amusement was...
...going to the department store and dining there.
Eating the child's platter.
Playing in the game corner.
My parents buying me toys.
Mom looking at clothes.
Grandpa was in the fishing corner.
Everything present in one store.
Everyone was excited.
Such an origin of happiness.
Well, this good point is also a difficult point.
The customers are old and young;
An infinite variety of tastes.
What could appeal to everyone?
A typhoon is coming.
You should go home for today.
What about you?
I'm waiting till it's morning in London. Negotiations..
Is it okay? What about your fiancée?
What?
If you neglect her too much, she'll leave you.
Nico talked, didn't he? That chatterbox.
It's a warning.
To not become like me.
Don't worry about me.
Do you think I'd date a woman who starts crying when we can't meet for a little while?
It's a mature relationship, we respect each other...
...unlike someone like you.
Tabuchi-san... you succeed at both work and love, then.
Yeah, unlike someone like you.
I'm jealous.
You must be happy.
Yeah, unlike someone like you.
That's great. A mature...
Mmh. Unlike.... you're insistent.
Go home before it starts raining!
Hey, Amano.
I'll go home. Good work today.
Hey.
[Are you alive? - Mayu.]
[What shall I do with your stuff?]
What am I doing?
I'll be returning to my parents' home.
I'll go back... and help my brother in my father's shop.
I want you to come with me.
He decided everything on his own.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
The one that has changed is you.
He just said whatever he wanted to say...
You prefer work over marriage. I felt that...
...somewhere in my heart.
Saying whatever he thought was right.
I'll give your stuff back.
I too, will say what I want to say.
I'll tell you everything I couldn't tell you.
That's not it.
I miss you.
Tatsuya, I miss you.
I really want to see you.
It looks like it might rain later.
Make sure you don't skid.
You don't trust my driving skills, do you?
Haru-chan, I work at a car company...
...of course, I'd drive safely.
I know.
Who's there?
Kinue?
What's wrong?
"What's wrong"?
I have... I've been so worn out...
...and here you are with someone.
Kinue...
Or even before?
Who the heck is that woman?
You're being rude to her.
If that's the case, you should have told me!
What do you mean "I think you prefer work over marriage"?
Is it all my fault?
Calm down.
Anyway, go inside.
Don't touch me!
Kinue.
Let go of me.
Calm down.
Let go..
I'm sorry.. for this situation.
Is she your ex-girlfriend?
Yeah...
Can I tell you my wish?
Eh?
Being kind is one of your good qualities, but...
Don't be so kind tonight.
I want you to be hated by her.
I'll wait for your call.
Goodnight.
Are you alright?
The one that got dumped.. was me.
We never...
...really argued with each other, did we?
I've been hiding my feelings.
Those supportive feelings for you...
...to do whatever you want weren't all lies.
However, truthfully, I always...
...wanted you to be with me more.
But if I said that, I'd sound like a little girl.
If I had always told you...
...how I feel...
...we might not be like this.
It was 8 years that we were together.
So it's now in the past?
For you...
...it's all in the past?
As for me, I...
...have a lot of things that I haven't told you.
Is it too late...
...to discuss everything we want...
...or argue like this?
Is it too late?
Is there any possibility to start over...
...not even 1%?
No.
We decided so.
Did you...
Love me?
Kinue...
We are...
...already over.
It's all over.
[For my sister. - From Mayu]
- Good morning. - Good morning.
All right.
Good morning.
Morning.
Tabuchi-san, I need to talk to you.
What? I won't apologize about it.
Look at this.
What? Sexual harassment?
Ah, a smiley face, cute!!
My sister made it.
Smile... no, smaile?
It's spelled wrong.
This is her way of encouraging me.
So what?
For our image boost project.
We'll make T-shirts which we can offer on any floor.
A product that is suitable for every age and gender would be...
...a T-shirt.
From children to adults...
..all ages come to the department store.
Our message is "Everyone's Origin of Happiness".
I'm about to go buying now.
Can you present it to the chief manager yourself?
Yes.
Tonight, at 8 o'clock...
...talk to her before she goes to Koishikawa party.
Now, start putting the project proposal together!
Yes!
Nico, help her.
Yes!
Good work today.
I'm changing my clothes.
Yes.
Ah, chief manager Jinbo.
The previous meeting went late. She's in a hurry. Don't bother her.
The limo has arrived out front.
Well, chief manager Jinbo.
I brought a proposal for the image boost event.
Would you be able to look at it when you have time?
Fine.
I have time right now.
Yes?
Verbally.
Oh, yes.
Well, I would like to sell ageless T-shirts throughout Echizen-ya.
The entire store?
Teen's, Women's and Men's sales floors.
And of course, at Péché Mignon too.
Ageless...
These days, 30's and 50's look the same.
And nobody buys clothes to make themselves look older.
That's why women from all generations would be satisfied...
However, customers who wear high brands, do not wear low quality products...
...and young people cannot afford expensive items.
What about the price?
$50.
That's expensive.
There'll be an added value.
Added value?
It's a donation.
Donation?
Everyone faces anxieties about the future of the global environment and their children.
Besides providing happiness for customers of all ages...
...we put pure charity as our message.
Echizen-ya won't even make a cent from this?
Yes...
The material is organic cotton...
The cost of the T-shirt...
Payment for the designer...
...and the shipping fee will be taken and the rest will be donated.
Then, let's get the designers to donate their fee too.
Eh?!
First rated designers are...
...active with charity.
I will ask them to do it for no cost.
The donation will go to UNICEF.
You can talk to Yamashita-san at the OC trading company about organic cotton.
You and Tabuchi can get started.
Chief manager Jinbo.
So you mean...
I will talk to the top.
It's fine to get started.
Fine.
Yes. Thank you very much!
Chief manager Jinbo.
You will support her.
First of all, v-neck, crew-neck or u-neck...
...we need to choose one of these.
Amano, bring the current sales report.
Yes, right away.
Any opinions?
Amano.
Yes?
Which material do you plan to choose?
Well, I'd stick to organic cotton which is good for people and the ecology.
Is it possible to tighten it a little bit around the neck?
How much?
How about as much as this seam?
You can't turn back any more.
Are such famous brands really collaborating?
Fine.
Aren't they all cute?
Oh! This one.
Sorry, excuse me for a bit.
It looks like you.
[Charity T-Shirts Fair Everyone's "Origin of Happiness" In the entire store]
FENDI
Ferragamo
VALENTINO
ETRO
MOSCHINO
ANNA SUI
Tory Burch
Ahh, so cute!
All the designs from these designer brands are at no cost.
As expected of Miki-sama.
Which one should I choose?
When you work with me, you do well.
What?
Amano-san.
Yes.
For Péché Mignon; an extra two each of FENDI and Tory Burch.
Yes, I will deliver them right now.
Excuse me.
I brought the T-shirts.
Fine.
Excuse me.
Amano.
Yes.
You seem to be over him.
What?
Try this on later.
You need new clothes.
New clothes...
Ohno-sama is here.
Welcome.
We have been waiting for you.
This is the first time seeing you in such an outfit.
Please, this way.
This is ETRO. All of them have collaborated.
Ah, VALENTINO.
We also have ANNA SUI.
Everything is unique.
I see.
Huh?
Tabuchi-san...
...found him!
Tabuchi-san, here is the morning sales report.
It's been great. Very popular.
Hmm...
Now's not the time to sit here and slack off.
Everyone's been so busy working on their regular tasks and the project.
Hmm...
Tabuchi-san?
Hey...
Yes?
What do you think of this?
To the person who cannot stay by me in a stormy night...
I'm breaking up with you. Goodbye.
Thank you for the last 7 years.
Ah, from your fiancée?
Yeah.
Well, well, I'm sorry to hear that.
You!
Now then, let's go back to work, Tabuchi-san.
But, just because you broke up with your fiancée...
...doesn't mean that you'll automatically succeed at work.
Whaaat?!
No girlfriend and incapable at work.
You might become such a man.
Please do your best at work now.
Hey you!
Amano!
Excuse me.
Amano is here.
Fine.
Thank you very much.
But, get changed.
Eh?
The young casual section on the 2nd floor.
We will create a new trend magnet for young people.
Young, is it?
You're appointed to be that project's...
...team manager.
The name is "Magic Closet".
Ma, ma, ma, magic?
Too young!
Cute!
Too young!
That's Manager Amano?
She looks like an inadequate boss.
This is... young casual.
No way!
I tried to wear "young casual".
Who is going?
Yes!
Mixed coordination?
It's challenging your style.
What do you know about Chief manager Jinbo?
I know a lot.
A head-hunting?!
Tell her this: please come alone.
I don't need sympathy from you.
Then don't cry!!
Just come out with what you are deeply thinking in there.
When you come to talk to me...
...tell me your conclusion first.
Do your best.
