Ah!
Closed from noon.
Can I bother you a little bit?
I've got this from Pochi-kun's mama,
and it seems quite interesting.
Since I have two, do you want to go with me?
No, too straightforward.
I've got this from Pochi-kun's mama,
if you want to, together, together,
let's go watch it together!
Nope, he wouldn't want to if I look desperate.
What are you doing? -Eh, what?
Didn't you already go home? -I forgot something.
And then, you look gorgeous!
I was surprised because I only see you wear
the usual plain-white medical coat.
I'm not flattered with such compliment.
That's my honest feeling. Ah, wait a minute sensei.
I hope you will find a good man.
What are you saying? I'm not going to omiai you know.
People said that wedding party is one of the unexpected place to meet.
And I don't expect it either.
So you are not interested in anyone other than Shunsuke-san?
Eh? What are you saying just now? -No, nothing.
Then I take my leave first. Don't forget to lock the doors.
Have a nice day!
Why do you keep pissing everywhere.
My hands are tired of cleaning your piss.
What are you doing? -Cleaning their piss.
That's because you didn't clean their litter boxes properly.
Poor them. -I've cleaned it.
You've hold it well. Just be patient.
But I'm losing patience. Piss everywhere.
Hey, umm, Pochi-kun's mama..
Umm, that..
Pochi-kun that fat cat right? He looks like his owner.
Ah, right.
What's wrong with Pochi-kun's mama? -Ah..
May I help you? -No thanks.
You don't need to hold your self.
I don't know what you're up to,
even if you help me, I won't buy that.
Hey! Ah!
What are you doing! Hey! Hey!
What's wrong with her?
I like it very much. -It's really good.
Want to watch movie together next time? -Eh are you serious?
Of course I'll go! -Ah I'm happy.
That's too easy, really easy.
Misaki -Yukie!
Ah it's really you! How long has it been?
Since your marriage, wasn't it? -Then
it has been 7 years! -But you haven't changed at all.
So do you. That's why I can quickly recognize you.
To think I can meet you again at this place, I was surprised.
Ah she's one of my junior at the company. How about you?
Ah, she's my acquaintance. -Eh, do you still work at that publishing company?
Yes, still the same as before.
How is your husband? -He's fine.
How about your children? -Not yet.
But apparently, will not have children. -Eh?
It seems difficult to have children,
we've checked into the hospital 5 years ago,
and it's nearly impossible to have children.
Sorry for asking that.
It's fine. At first, we quite depressed as well.
But we must accept the reality after all. -You're right.
Well, living with just two people
is not that bad actually.
Of course, even I still happy as single.
Furthermore you look happy with your husband.
Well, because we don't have any children,
we don't have any financial problem, even we are
supporting each other to the fullest.
And? Is it your own choice to stay single until now?
Ah, no, it's not that I like to be single forever,
Come on, you must already have someone right? -Eh?
I wonder.. Seems like he doesn't exist.. yet.
What are you waiting for? Introduce him to me.
Not that I don't want to...
Ah that's right! How about keeping a cat?
Eh? -A cat!
Translation by Varion
So cute! Which one should I choose...
Everyone looks cute and adorable.
Shu-chan, she is my friend from high school.
Live alone with her husband.
They both work and living in an apartment that can keep animals.
So there is no problem financially or environmentally.
Hey Shu-chan, why don't you say something?
Something like what?
For example the good behavior from each cat.
It's not me who will adopt them.
No such thing as good or bad behavior. It's all about compatibility.
I know that already, but...
It's the same as marriage right.
Wow, marriage. That's too much, I think.
In fact it's really like that.
You who have never been married certainly haven't felt such a thing.
That's dangerous! Are you stupid! Stop it!
What are you doing! Stop it!
Oh! Give it back! -No!
I choose that cat.
Eh, Chai? -Why?
I wonder... She looks lonely,
in that corner, maybe she want to be alone.
That's why I'm interested in her.
Hello.
Why suddenly?
Not suddenly. I've told you already.
That I want to keep a cat or dog. -Well..
So I'm searching many information about how to keep them.
Don't you also know about that? -Aaahh..
Mm, is it not good? You don't like it? -No, it's not like that.
If you said that you don't like it,
I won't take her to our shared rooms. I'll keep her inside my room all the time.
Is it alright if it's like that? -I told you I don't mind about it.
I've only surprised because it's so sudden. -I see, glad to hear that.
Ah right, there's trial period for 3 days.
Trial? -Yeah, it looks like a test
whether I can keep her or not.
So there's rule like that.. -Yeah, there's another rule too,
During the trial period, we can only give her food that has been provided,
Then on her bed,
the blanket must been laid.
Aahh, because cat is sensitive to a new place right. -Yes.
Try to hold her!
Eh?
It's alright, it's alright. It's alright, don't be afraid.
Aah good girl.
So, what are we going to do for her name? -You can name her with your favorite name.
Eh, but this is our first cat.
I want both of us to give her a name.
Name is the first gift that parents give to their child.
So which name do you want?
I will give you a good name.
Because Yukie has no children yet,
they both respect each other
and fully support their own freedom.
So they both have the money and time
for other activities.
It must be good to be like them.
Because Yukie also works,
they don't have financial problem at all.
Perfect! They are ideal couple!
Sora. Yamato. Jack.
That's boys name.
That's right.
Because she's female, how about Momoko? Ah, Sakura is good too.
Hey, how about Ann?
Ann? -Yes. -It's good.
Ann is her nickname.
Her full name is Ishida Anju.
An from anzu (apricot), jyuu from jyumoku (tree).
It's amazing right, 33 strokes for a girl's name.
She means kanji stroke.
Ishida Anju.
You're right, 33 strokes! -Right!
Alright! From now you are Ishida Anju!
Anju. How?
She answered, do you hear that?
Ann answered. You must be happy.
Mama is happy too.
Hey... -Yes?
Eh?
What do you mean?
I'm in love with another woman.
I'm really sorry.
I will make sure to compensate you as much as I can.
So, please fill in the form. -Nori-san...
Can I ask some time to think about it?
Sure.
Hey Shu-chan, do you like to watch movies?
Not really. -Is that so.
But I'm interested with movie theater. -Really?
Am I strange? -Nope. Of course there are people like you.
Where? -Where is it...
Shu-chan, I've found a suitable person for you.
This one is a widow but still 30.
This one is still single but this year she will be 40. Which one is the strike?
This is not bowling, why do you ask which one is the strike?
It's impossible for this two women. -Why?
Because they are both very beautiful aren't they?
I mean Shu-chan must be looking for a simple and plain one.
W..W..What?
Your rices are flying. -Eh?
Even your sleeves got some tare sauce.
So your eyes can see it if I wear plain shirt,
but they can't see when I wore a dress.
Do you have bad mood?
Nope. -She was searching for a partner but she failed miserably.
Eh? Did you go to omiai?
Was that true? -I didn't,
but I went to wedding party. -Still a meeting place, right?
Kaede-chan told me. -What is this, if you tell me before,
of course I can find a good man for you.
Tomorrow I will introduce you to a good man.
That's why I didn't tell you about it.
Now look at that, don't talk too much with food in your mouth.
The rices are flying everywhere. -What are you saying!
Look at this! Because of you!
Hey, what do you think? I thought something like this is impossible.
Witness? -Yes. We will have a wedding party.
Because we had to have witnesses for the wedding,
and all I could think of was section chief with his wife.
Well, but this..
The mediator is not the witness as well?
Well, it's not too formal though.
At first we want you to be the MC,
but we think the witnesses are much suitable role for you.
Please! The ideal couple for us is
both of you. -Please help us!
As I thought, it's impossible.
Funny. We will divorce but we're the witnesses for a wedding.
But I used to accept that offer, so now it's not good to refuse.
Even though I tripped in the previous event.
Let's do this. I've promised them.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Because Tanabe-kun and Mai-chan are your favorite subordinates.
And this is the chance to get a good food also,
better than my tasteless cooking.
Ah, but I don't intend to
set aside our divorce by attending this event.
But because I really think about it.
Yeah. -Yeah.
Ann-chan, let's sleep together tonight!
Ann-chan? Ann-chan!
What's wrong? -She vomited.
Ah what should I do, what if she die?
Hospital! Let's go to the hospital! -Yeah!
Are you okay Ann?
Take it easy. It's not a disease.
This is a hair ball -Hair ball?
You know that cats love to lick their hairs, right?
That activity is called grooming.
When she's grooming her self, accidentally she will swallowing her own hairs and piled up her stomach.
Usually the hair will be excreted through the feces,
but it was so big that she had trouble with it. -So what should we do?
There are certain foods that can make these hair ball
to be excreted with the feces, maybe you can give her that.
Here.
Thank god she's alright, I thought it was emergency.
Ah please don't tell this
to Shu-chan. If he knows,
"I can't give her to you because you can't take care of her."
he will said something like that. -That's troublesome.
Because cat is similar to a child.
Thank goodness Ann-chan.
Eh, do you remember your house?
There? -Yes, she lives there.
There are many ingredients inside this bowl!
All in one bowl. Let's open it!
One two, open!
Ooh look at this, this is Shiitake.
Excuse us.
Sorry for disturbing you. -Did something happen to Chai?
Ah no. We just happen to walk around,
near Misaki's place.
and then suddenly Ann cried many times.
I thought she will calm down when she see her owner.
He's my husband. -Hello.
Do parents always give their children candy,
if they keep asking for it?
Eh? -Cats are like children. Your perseverance is necessary.
If you seriously want to adopt her,
let her adapt to her new environment.
We were scolded. -He didn't mean that.
He told us the right way to keep a cat right.
It's impossible after all. -What?
I never raise a child.
Can I possibly take care of a cat now?
Everyone will eventually have to do something for the first time right.
Yeah.
Good night. -Good night.
Ah, do you have free time tomorrow?
Why? -I want to go shopping.
I want to buy collar and toys for Ann.
Got it. -Thank you. Good night.
I will look into your ear.
It's red.
There's inflammation in her ears,
I'll take a bit of her earwax for examination.
A scam?
The seller told her it was a poodle, so she bought it.
But didn't want to eat dog food so she worried,
it gets weaker, so she bring it to the hospital.
Then? -Actually, that poodle
is a sheep. -Did something like that really happen?
Ann-chan, let's go shopping!
Let's go shopping!
Ann, mama will buy toys for you.
You will be happy. -We'll buy a cute collar too.
Ann-chan, please wait.
Yes yes coming.
Ah from my new recruit. Wait a minute.
Yes, this is Ishida.
Eh? What do you mean?
Didn't I tell you already. Why don't you tell me right away?
No, not that. That's why, your fault isn't that.
So why don't you tell me
before this happened? Alright, I understand.
Yes, send the data to my email. Right now.
Thank you.
Aahh, sorry, my new employee
made a few mistakes.
Sorry, but could you go shopping alone?
But I... -I need some time to finish this problem
I will also look for Ann. -Sorry.
Ah.. Good afternoon.
Are you alone? -Yes.
I'm here to buy a cat toy. But I don't know which one is good.
Oh.. How about this?
Don't you like it? Then...
Perhaps you don't like cat?
No no, I prefer to have it.
My wife and I both love animals.
But recently my wife said that she wants to have a pet.
How about this?
Perhaps my wife would prefer to have a cat rather than have a child.
Rather than a child? -Actually I had a little problem,
so the chance for us to have children is small.
It could be the reason for something like this, right.
Thank you very much.
Misaki-sensei, a call for you. Her voice sounded frantic.
Eh?
Hello, sorry that I changed my number.
Yukie?
Ah.. sorry Misaki! -What happened?
In the living room. -Eh?
Wait, wait, wait! Open the door slowly. -Eh?
Ann,, Ann caught a cricket.
Hah?
Ahh, slowly.
Ah, thank you.
I don't know what to do.
Oh my god, do you really scared of cricket?
Actually not. But Ann,
Ann came up to me with cricket on her mouth. -Then?
Then.. I felt disgusted.
Cats really love to catch bugs or birds.
They will catch them and give them to their owner.
Why did they do that !? -Why hmm..
The motherly instinct on cat is very strong.
In other words, Ann wants to take care of you.
"You must be hungry, so eat this." Something like that.
Ehh, I can't eat cricket.
Hey, I hope you don't eat that.
Then what should I do..
But cricket actually way much better.
In the past even I have been given a sparrow.
Sparrow!? -Yeah, delivered to my bed.
Really, I can't understand it at all.
No, you didn't understand because she is a cat.
Is that so.
This is your first time keeping a cat right, so there are many things that you don't know yet.
Eehh! I think it's impossible for me if I do this alone.
You have your husband.
No, but..
Thank you.
I eat this.
To be honest when I found out that it was hard for us to have children,
I was depressed. I even feel sorry for my wife.
But she said that she will enjoy her life
together with me.
Because marriage is not just to have children.
At that time, I thought when she said that is
to encourage me to keep on living.
But, when she said she want to have a pet,
she must be lonely.
Actually I really want to have children.
But it's really hard for now with my condition.
So I thought I will divorce her for good.
If my wife marries another man now,
it's not too late for her to have child.
How about you, Shiina-san? -Don't have any.
I see..
I won't have children too.
Eh?
My wife passed away.
2 years ago, she left me with 7 cats.
I see. Sorry about that.
Isn't it okay to have a cat instead of a child.
If you can take care of her together.
Can she really take care of her?
After that cricket incident today.
This is her first time.
But it can't be helped if she doesn't want to do this.
The trial exists for something like this.
I'm home. -Welcome.
Eh? Where's Ann? -Inside the pet carrier. -Why?
Do you know cats can eat bugs?
Perhaps it can be digested by her stomach.
Ann, I bought you toy and collar.
Don't open it! -Why?
What's wrong?
I am a selfish person, don't you realize it lately?
Did something happen?
My new employee simply can't do any work.
I have to keep teaching her and give her instructions,
she made me pissed because she can't write someone's title correctly.
Midorikawa-san our neighbour too,
because she mixed cans with plastic bottles in her garbage.
At the supermarket, I also often want to say
"Hurry!" when I see someone
puts her change in front of the cashier.
Aren't that different from being selfish?
I don't know why,
but I was not satisfied with what I have gained.
Although it's natural to have such thoughts.
And I think I've tried my best.
Maybe I'm not deserving it at all.
We've been living together for long time.
Perhaps it's not what you want right now.
Yeah.
I can listen to music alone if I want it.
If you want to have a drink together, you just call me.
Because Nori-san and I do not obey
the rules we have made before.
So is that the reason why you want to have a cat?
Yeah.
Can you get used to it slowly
by keeping something that you dislike?
Yes, this is Fujimura Veterinary.
Misaki! Please help me!
What happened in here?
Ann went berserk just now.
I've tried to catch her as fast as I can.
It's impossible for me to take care of cat alone after all.
Shu-chan, are you there?
I bring Chai home.
The trial still until tomorrow. -It's impossible for Yukie to adopt.
I didn't know that she would be returned. -It has been decided.
Didn't you also not want it? You said that you won't give Chai,
to people who can't afford to keep a cat.
It's not for you to decide. -Eh?
Don't decide it by yourself!
What's wrong with you. I've thought what is the best for you and Chai.
It's none of your business! -Wasted my energy for bringing her back.
Alright, I understand.
Sorry for giving you trouble!
I will put my seal on the form.
Everything happened because of me.
This vase is from your mother right?
Sorry.
Our couple's mug also broken too.
Sorry.
I shouldn't have adopted cat.
But, it was fun when there is Ann.
Liar. -I'm serious.
Why do you always like this?
If you're angry, just say it.
"Don't adopt a cat!"
If there is a cat, the house will be dirty,
home furnishings will be scratched, plates and cups will be broken.
Just say it if you don't like it!
It's frustrating! You always keep quiet,
with your expressionless face.
Then suddenly you ask for divorce.
Alright… I will say it
to you.. about children..
If you want to have children, just say it!
I've already thought about this divorce!
Don't just say that it is fun to live together!
Because is that really true?
Thinking of Anju's name which had 33 strokes,
it's like a real name for a child.
It made me sick!
Sorry. I said too much.
I want to have children too, but..
It's okay. Let's get divorced once our witness duty is over.
I don't want to divorce!
I don't know how my life will be without Nori-san!
For me.. when Ann came was really fun.
Thinking about her name together.
I was worried I can't bring her to hospital,
but because I'm with Nori-san.
Because I'm with Nori-san...
That's why, this divorce..
Are you really want to do it?
Don't lie to me with something cheap like another woman!
That's because..
Because I know what's on your mind!
Let's tidy up this room together!
We can do it if we're together.
Indeed, no children,
but we're couple.
Isn't that enough?
It's not.
Definitely not enough.
But it's really fun when we're together.
Is it really alright?
Having child or not..
I just want to live with Nori-san.
Excuse me! This is Ishida!
Ann!
Sorry, can I take Ann back?
Please!
Although I do not understand anything about cats,
I will keep learning while taking care of Ann!
Please!
The trial period is still until tomorrow.
Eh?
Misaki brought her home at her own will.
Until tomorrow, she's yours.
Give her back tomorrow.
Yes. Thank you very much.
Ann-chan.
Yukie.
I took her back to Shu-chan.
I will do my best
together with Nori-san.
See you.
I think, it will be better for you if you go straightforward. -Eh?
Shu-chan.
Isn't that Chai's blanket?
Looks like she won't need it again. -Eh?
Probably.
I see.
Look..
Do you want to watch movie with me?
I've got this from Pochi-kun's mama,
and it will be a waste to not use it.
I will ask Kaede-chan if you don't want to.
I will go if the show is tomorrow.
Ah, right, tomorrow.
Then, see you tomorrow.
Hey, isn't this a horror movie?
from its title "Stalker Zombie".
Is this a comedy? What do you think?
What do you think?
I can't watch horror movie.
