Mio-chan, over here.
Mio-chan.
Hmm?
Daddy said to queue up behind the elderly when it's crowded.
Why?
He said it'll be too pitiful if anyone rushes the elderly.
724 yen in total.
Here.
Thank you.
Itadakimasu.
Help yourselves.
I made a lot of curry today. Feel free to have seconds.
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
You made this taste disgusting on purpose, didn't you?
How can that be? I have no reason to do that.
Then it's a motiveless crime.
Right? Shizuku.
Don't get me involved.
I really am bad at this.
You're really really bad at this.
More please.
What?!
Eh?
You don't have to force yourself.
You're actually blaming me, right?
No, I'm neither blaming you nor forcing myself.
I'm so glad!
Even something so spicy...
That's what it's supposed to be - curry rice.
So it's the authentic taste?
I don't think so...
Help yourselves.
Maybe it'll taste even better if you add some milk.
Yeah that's right...
Let me go add some now.
That's not the problem...
More, please.
Yes!
Huh?!
More, please.
HUH?!
Wait, hold on.
Is there something wrong with me?
Wait a second.
Yes?
Florist-san?
Yes.
Florist-san?
I'm glad you haven't had your dinner yet.
Here.
Yes.
It doesn't look very delicious.
No, not at all.
Itadakimasu.
How is it?
It's delicious.
Really?
I really mean it this time.
This time...?
Iya,
it's really delicious.
I'm glad.
This is the first time that someone is eating the food I've cooked.
What's up?
Nothing.
Ah, I know!
No, it's nothing...
You want more?
What?
Help yourself.
I made a lot.
Oh, that's not it.
No...
Ano...
Eh?
More, please.
Here.
Okay.
Bara no nai Hanaya Episode 3
Hey kid.
Come with me.
Come!
Please pick up the oranges.
He should be attending Hanamine Higashi Elementary School if he's living around here.
We won't know if you just keep quiet.
We'll just ask the policeman to come.
I'm sorry.
Eiji? Why are you here?
I'm sorry Toshi-san, I know this boy.
So what?
I'll pay for it.
That's not the problem.
That's true but just let him off on my account.
No, let go.
I'm sorry.
You're hurting me. Ouch...
Hey, isn't it spicy?
Ah, was it because you added milk?
Curry tastes good when you eat it the next day.
Kid,
let me take one bite.
Neither good nor bad...
Here.
Thank you.
Sensei! Good afternoon.
What are you trying to do?
What?
Is Shougo-kun inside?
Ono-sensei! Welcome!
He's here, isn't he? Please don't act on your own anymore.
I'm sorry.
Erm, look after my shop.
Hmm, I see.
Then Eiji is in the wrong.
I'm sorry.
The supermarket manager contacted the school too.
Ah, that manager is the second generation idiot with a runny nose.
He's really serious about such things.
But as a human being, he's quite questionable, building up a cafe corner and stuff.
We don't have time for this!
I'm sorry.
Please continue.
If something even bigger happens later,
I won't be forgiven for not knowing this as I am his homeroom teacher.
Yes.
Eiji, you're really in the wrong.
It's okay if you want to play the good guy.
But we need to let the children understand what is wrong by teaching them firmly.
I'm not trying to be the good guy.
Hey Eiji,
you shouldn't be talking back to Sensei.
Sorry.
But, with the low birth rate,
children are like treasures in this society.
I really understand how Sensei feels.
But such problem has to be dealt with...
Can you keep quiet for a second?
Sorry...
Whatever it is,
I'm taking Shougo-kun home.
Thanks for the coffee.
You're... leaving?
It's wrong to take others' things.
You're old enough so I'm sure you understand this, Shougo-kun.
I'm sure you don't want your parents to know about this.
That's why I'll keep it a secret for you, just this once.
So, can you promise me?
That you won't do it again.
Why don't you just tell them?
It's totally okay. Just tell my parents.
Shougo-kun?
In exchange,
give me back my chocolates.
Give me my chocolates!
Shougo-kun!
Am I down with something bad?
Well, that's why they are doing the tests!
But when will it be over?
Well,
even though it's useless for me to act big in front of you.
If it's about money, you don't have to worry.
The hospital director is kind enough to help us out.
He seems like a really decent doctor.
Most doctors wouldn't have bothered with someone like me.
It's always those politicians or celebrities.
Yeah.
By "helping us out"...
you're not doing that with him in exchange, right?
Don't say such disgusting things!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
There's no way you'll do something like that.
For the sake of someone like me.
She's more obedient than I thought.
This nurse is really easy to deal with.
How I wish that the head nurse could hear this.
But is this okay?
Isn't there a saying, "The mummy catcher turns into a mummy"? (Note: A Japanese saying.)
She...
That's okay.
Do you know why I'm taking such a roundabout approach?
. It's true, now that you've said it.
If it's just revenge,
then you could have just used your connections to get some bad ass to deal with him...
You...
be careful about what you're saying.
Sorry, I got carried away.
I just can't understand my daughter's feelings.
Your daughter who passed away?
My daughter wasn't a stupid person.
She wasn't the kind who'd fall for a guy's looks
or sweet words and make a wrong judgment.
But why...
What made her fall for a guy like that?
Up to this day, I still can't understand why.
t this day, I still can't understand why.
Such a scum like him...
what is it about him...
I'm back!
Welcome back!
Daddy, I'm back!
Welcome back.
It's curry again?
It has been left alone for one night, so I'm sure it'll taste good now.
I want it to be left alone forever.
Shizuku, go wash your hands.
Okay.
Daddy, can I eat this chocolate?
Not this one.
Eh... why not?
I don't have any cavity.
I'll buy another one for you later.
Alright.
Welcome back.
You really have nothing better to do.
What are you talking about?
It's mental labor!
I have to think about what we should do next, and this and that.
No matter how much you think about it, a person's feeling can't be manipulated so easily.
Hmm? Is that so?
You look like you're quite confident though.
You're making good progress with Aniki?
We might have become closer
but that's different from love and things like that.
If it's not progressing into love,
then there's probably an obstacle.
For example,
he might have another woman that he likes.
Eh?
Shizuku's former teacher Ono-sensei looks great.
It's a real pity that she's a teacher.
She has a great fgure too.
Oh, there's such a person.
I see her around quite often.
Coming to visit Aniki.
Even enough she's Shizuku's homeroom teacher...
it's too frequent.
What about him?
Well, she's a real good catch.
Uwaah, it's game over for us if that's true!
She's also very amicable and cheerful.
She might appeal to you but
everyone has their own unique preference.
That's true.
I'm the florist, are you in?
You gave me a treat yesterday so, in return, I brought you oranges.
There was a discount at the supermarket and I bought too many.
I hate it.
Oh, you don't like citrus fruits...?
I hate those who go right and left.
What?
I'm not some idle pigeon that you can shoot down with your lousy gun.
Pigeon?
I find guys who say that they love busty women disgusting.
Most are just mama's boys.
Did I say such things?
Even if you didn't, it's written on your face.
You like the Sensei, right?
What Sensei?
Shizuku-chan's Sensei.
You mean Ono-sensei?
The rumor going around the neighborhood is that
the silly florist is totally in love.
There's such a rumor?
You're the only one who didn't know about it.
The Sensei wouldn't even consider me.
Neither would I.
I'm sorry.
Go back.
The oranges.
I don't want it. Go back.
Ouch... But I sure can jump.
Makes me want to praise myself. I want to praise myself.
Hey, Naoya?
Aniki.
What are you doing?
I wanted to go to the convenience store to buy some career guides.
I can't remain a freeloader forever.
What's more, Hishida-san has moved in.
You don't have to be in such a hurry.
If you move out all of a sudden, Hishida-san will feel uncomfortable.
Really?
Well, then I'll just do as you say for a while more.
What happened to your foot?
I sort of sprained it.
Here, lean on my shoulder.
Sorry.
Hmm?
Did something happen?
Somehow, I just keep making people angry today.
There are days like that.
Ouch.
Argh. It's so annoying!
Why?
100 Ways to Capture a Woman's Heart
I see.
Ah, Sensei!
Oh wait, is this a hallucination?
I think I was a bit too harsh yesterday.
It's totally fine.
There was bullying at my previous school
but I never realized it.
Oh right.
That's why I don't want to make the same kind of mistake again.
Mmm.
And that's why this time I got so overly worked up about it.
I know I have to be more humble but...
Um...
about Shougo-kun.
Yes?
Shiomi-san, you said this in the school yard, right?
You wanted me to pay more attention to him.
Yeah, but...
that is...
That child just transferred school,
even though there was that incident with Shizuku-chan,
I never thought that he would be bullied.
Yeah... that is probably...
What is it?
It might have just been my imagination.
Please tell me anything that you've noticed.
That child might be...
an anonymous soldier.
Anonymous... soldier?
It's really brave of you to be living alone.
But your parents must be worried, right?
Aniki, customer.
Ah. Oh yes. Ono-sensei came to visit today.
Then, I'll get going now.
Sorry, I wasn't of any help.
Aniki,
Mio-san said she came to apologize for being too harsh yesterday.
Right?
I wasn't...
I was planning to do that, but not anymore.
Um...
Ono-sensei,
this is Mio-san, Aniki's friend.
Ah. Nice to meet you.
I'm Shizuku-chan's homeroom teacher, Ono Yuki.
She lost her eyesight due to an accident but
she isn't down or anything at all.
Because of this, both Aniki and Shizuku-chan really like her.
It seems like you always come here for home interviews, huh?
Eh?
There's a rumour going around the neighborhood that Sensei and Florist-san...
Eh? Really?
No way.
It's just a false rumor from someone, right?
Ah. Ono-sensei!
I got coffee just for you!
He's not a considerate host.
Um, Master, I already gave her coffee.
Sensei won't like instant coffee, right?
If you like each other, then isn't it better to say it and start going out?
If you keep it secret and let rumors fly, I'm not sure what effect it will have on Shizuku-chan's education.
Eh?
I said that is...
I don't think there's any reason for you to be lecturing us.
Sensei, this is getting too complicated.
Eiji, you brat.
Uh, no... oh yeah, it's Master.
The person who likes Sensei is Master.
Really?
Like... um... you.
Sorry, it came out before I realised it.
But, the person Sensei likes is Florist-san, right?
There's no such thing, that's enough, okay?
No, it's not.
Yes, I do.
I like him very much.
Really?
HOT. HOT. HOT.
What are you doing?!
Don't follow me!
Um, that's very dangerous.
Ah, leave me alone. I'm going to the convenience store.
I'm going to buy milk but that doesn't mean I want to become a woman with big breasts.
Clip.
Yes.
Ze-kun,
it'll be fine to leave the rest to you, righ?
Ah, yes.
You're blocking the way, move it.
Oy! Oy!
Sorry, she's...
Who are you kidding, you brat?!
'Fairytale." My favourite fairytale is
Beauty and the Beast.
There are a lot of fairytales like Cinderella and Snow White,
but I still like Belle in Beauty and the Beast most.
Because the other Princes, how do you say this,
they are only attracted to the girl's appearance, right?
In other words, it's love at frst sight.
But the Beast who had a spell cast upon him
didn't understand what love was.
Before the rose petals withered and fell,
Belle had to teach the Beast what love was.
Otherwise, the spell would never be broken.
Stop it.
Stop it already!
Stop it!
Go over there!
Ouch!
Oy! Let's go!
Therefore, even though you don't know what love is now,
one day, just like Belle,
I will teach and make you understand what real love is.
Before the rose petals...
wither and fall.
Sorry, are you okay?
I should be the one asking you that.
You really got beaten up.
Ah, it's good that you can't see my embarrassing moment.
Even if I can't see it, I know it.
You're a total coward, right?
Yes.
I'm just a coward.
I'm going to buy some milk, please wait here for me for a while.
That will be our "Fairytale."
Fairytale.
Here.
Um, it's okay, really.
It'll be bad if it gets infected.
But I never thought that Aniki would get into a fight.
It wasn't a fight, I was beaten up.
Even though you're so big?
If only I was there.
Daddy.
Have you finished your homework?
Sensei said that she came because of Shougo.
Yeah.
She did.
Why does Daddy always help that child so much?
What do you mean by always that child?
Like, you wouldn't let Shizuku eat that chocolate.
That chocolate.
I'll buy you a different one.
I'm not talking about food!
Eiji-san, did something happen?
Whenever I see that child, somehow I always remember of my childhood.
Oh, I see.
It's not like that!
Shizuku! Why are you so angry all of a sudden?
Daddy...
actually wanted a boy, right?
What is so funny?
It's not funny!!
What are you doing here?
Huh?
It's "No Smoking" everywhere!
It's "No Smoking" here as well.
Eh?
Come on, one cigarette secretly doesn't matter.
Of course it does.
You are so uptight.
When did you become a woman who's such a stickler for rules?
Well of course, it's my job.
I see.
Plus, being serious is my personality; it has always been like that.
This won't change unless I become someone else.
You're "someone else" right now.
Eh?
When you were young, your wilfulness really gave me a hard time.
That's a lie.
Don't make up things just because you think I don't remember them.
When you cried, you would never let anyone hold your hands.
When you wanted something, you must have it.
Oh really.
When we brought you to the playground or to the sea for a swim or something,
you would disappear on purpose.
Just to make us look for you with all our might.
I did that?
You were testing your parents' love for you.
I would always look for you with all my might.
Because if I didn't, you would start sulking and stop talking for a while.
Me?
But, your naivety was so cute.
You would always laugh,
and you would always get angry and cry.
Even though you were willful, it was really cute.
Even if it was so, I'm already an adult so I can't do anything about it.
I'm not stupid.
I can read the atmosphere.
It's not in your nature to be patient.
You're also not the type to go along with others.
That's why you react irritably.
There's no such thing.
Sometimes it gets really stifling, doesn't it?
You have to read the atmosphere all the time.
Things like air... (Note: He is saying "kuuki", but "kuuki" can mean both atmosphere/vibe and air.)
is for breathing.
Oh?
This is the first time since I came here that I'm seeing you laugh.
You're the one who can't read the atmosphere, lost your factory and got divorced.
That's true.
Here, you're going to catch a cold.
Here.
We have to go back.
Let me stay here for a while more.
Just for a bit.
My late husband really loved cooking
so he never made me do anything, hence my bad cooking skills.
Oh really.
I use that as an excuse.
It's true that I'm bad
so I must learn it properly.
Isn't it good? If you're bad at it then be bad at it.
Instead of overcoming what you're bad at, isn't it better to develop what you're already good at?
You think so?
About flowers. I know more about them than anyone else.
I've decided I would try flower arrangements in the shop.
If you don't like it then you don't.
If you like it then you do.
Yep. Shizuku is like that too.
Always been like that.
But then, when you become an adult you'll start thinking, "I must be matured."
Before you know it, you've already learned to be patient with a lot of things.
Why is that...
You just learn to somehow.
Reading the atmosphere around you.
Yeah. To read the atmosphere.
It's probably because we got hurt before, right?
Nah, Shizuku won't change.
Because Daddy is with me.
No matter what I say or do,
Daddy will never do anything to hurt Shizuku.
That's right. He definitely will not hurt you.
Beside someone like that,
you can really feel comfortable being yourself.
Yes.
When something bad happens, you just need to do this.
Stamping on the ground?
Yeah, gashi-gashi. (Note: It's an onomatopoeia.)
Gashi-gashi?
Let's practice it.
Let's do it together.
Here you go.
Ready, go.
Gashi-gashi!
Ah, hello.
Not hello.
Yes.
Not yes.
Sorry.
Not sorry.
Yes.
Isn't this weird? Two adults sitting here...
Not at all,
it's a far cry from my spilling the coffee.
I blurted out that you carried a torch for Ono-sensei.
Sorry.
I was flustered as well.
I'll forgive you for that one.
Thank you.
But there is one thing I can never forgive.
Yes.
You pretended to help me
but you were actually going after Ono-sensei. That's the shocking truth.
That's not the truth.
Prove it.
I can't...
I signed as your guarantor before.
It's hard to put emotions into words.
Why don't you write a pledge?
Write "I have no feelings for Ono-sensei."
Isn't that a little exaggerated?
Can't we just entwine our pinkies?
Do you still think I'm a kid wearing a yellow cap? (Note: Kindergarten kids often wear yellow caps.)
I'm sure you'll look good in it.
Eiji.
Sorry.
I really looked good in it,
just like a little chick.
They called me Hiyo-kun. (Note: Little chick is 'hiyoko' in Japanese.)
Yes.
I'll write the pledge.
I was just kidding.
You were joking about Hiyo-kun too?
That's true.
You've really got your heart set on that girl Mio?
You can't really say that...
Am I not right?
She can't see
so...
I'm just a little worried..
Is that all?
Master.
Mm?
I've long forgotten what love is like.
I feel very tired just managing this shop
and looking after Shizuku.
Don't make yourself sound so sad.
I don't think it's sad.
I guess this is what they call simple happiness.
You're so full of crap.
Silly chap,
since you've forgotten, don't you just have to try to remember it?
You're only 30, aren't you?
Don't make me, a 45-year-old, who likes a young teacher
sound so dirty!
You thought that way, didn't you?
No.
Eiji.
It's enough.
No one will blame you.
Not even Shizuku's mother who has passed away.
So...
just go ahead and like some other woman.
Itadakimasu.
Yes.
Eh?
What 'eh?'
Are you trying to say that it's too delicious to be something I've cooked?
No, that's not what I meant...
That's rude! Gashi-gashi!
Erm... Actually it was Mio-san
who said she wanted to make up for your injury.
Ah, it's her.
She said call her when you're free.
Okay.
Hello?
It's me, the florist.
Shall we play a game?
Game?
I'm at Shibuya now.
It's Shibuya after Shinjuku?
It's just after noon and I'm not drinking.
I have to look after the shop.
But Hishida-san said you have the afternoon off.
You have from now until the last train leaves to find me.
In which part of Shibuya are you at?
I'm somewhere in Shibuya.
Are you joking? No hint at all?
No hint.
Please,
don't think of me as an annoying woman.
Just for today.
Please don't get sick of me thinking that I'm a willful and troublesome woman.
I understand.
Then we'll do this without a hint.
Loving his dead girlfriend for the past 10 years and no one else...
I think a man like him is admirable.
Even when the one he loves
is no longer able to be beside him,
he shoulders it alone.
If I were in her shoes,
I'll feel very happy.
Because every woman wishes
to become a man's last woman.
I was representing women in general when I said I like him.
But you seem to be... trying to provoke her somehow.
Look at how cute she is.
Letting people see through her jealousy easily.
As people grow up, they usually find it painful and embarrassing. They end up hiding such feelings, don't they?
Even though Shiomi-san looks so easy-going all the time.
But he said he too was flustered then.
See?
I think they're like middle school students.
So pure that it makes me envious.
So much so that I can't resist making things di. icult fo.r them.
I'm so envious.
So you're here.
Florist-san?
Yes.
The prince in the fairytale
will definitely meet the princess.
Do you know why?
No.
Because the princess is waiting
at the place where they are sure to meet.
When I say this, it doesn't feel dreamy anymore.
Then you've broken the rule.
Yes.
Women are sly like that.
Cinderella left one slipper behind on purpose.
Let's play this game again next time.
Eh?
Don't break the rule next time.
Then you'll never find me.
No such thing.
Just put out your hand.
I really just missed you by a little bit.
It may disappoint you that I'm not a prince,
but I really,
nearly found you.
There exists a cold and cruel side in me.
...believe in that guy's twisted heart...
You don't care, do you?
Won't lie.
I won't lie to you.
They're not total strangers.
The director and Aniki.
I believe you so it's okay.
I believe you.
I heard this from Naoya.
Your eyes...
