"Earn Money! Work Hard! Be Useful!"
This is Shinkai, Shuri.
The wrong sent e-mails has already been corrected without problems,
so, it's now okay. Don't worry.
Your salary as you work will be released on the 10th of next month.
Don't worry about that either.
Mr. Nemoto, this is Takanashi.
Have you reworked the document?
Yes, I made it according to your orders.
I want to do this one last time.
Are you kidding.
"We will be closed temporarily." Welcome.
You're the first to come.
Hello.
Hello. Everyone asked me to open the bar, so, this is just a secret.
Where's Kosei?
He said he couldn't come today. Are you fighting?
I forgot to keep my distance.
I'm really sorry.
If so, do you want IPA beer today?
IPA stands for India Pale Ale, right?
Yes, from time to time ...
...this beer was sent from England to India,
and lots of hops were added as preservatives.
That's why it becomes a bitter beer.
That was in the era of exploration.
Then I ordered a bitter beer made in the era of exploration.
Gin Oni IPA from Noborioni Brewery.
Are you busy yesterday?
I don't have much free time to come every day.
You came here almost every day.
How about Akira? Did she come here?
Yes, she came yesterday, drank a glass of IPA, then went home.
It was a very bitter beer from the era of great exploration.
Oh, I see.
Mother bought lots of souvenirs.
I must thank Fumi for helping me during the last week of your father's life.
Rinto needs toys and Takuma needs winter clothes.
Then the rest is for you, Mom.
It's been five years since I didn't shop in Tokyo.
It doesn't matter if you have fun.
Hey! Why not sell your apartment?
Huh?
It's strange to pay mortgage payments for ex-lovers.
It is better to sell it and give the money for Shuri's living expenses.
It's better.
She could not find new love if he lived in his ex's apartment.
New love?
What?
Do you think Shuri's life ended in that place?
No.
You are not very attentive.
Do you know how you don't have a plan? You're like your father!
Is it true?
Yes! He needs Mom to take care of everything.
Right?
There. It seems like he's around there.
It's a shame for Akira,
but there will be someone nice again for Kyoya.
Don't end it that way!
It is over.
Kemono Ni Narenai Watashitachi (We Can Not Become Beasts)
There is an email from Shinkai. For all departments.
"I'm not feeling well,
I will be on leave today. Sorry, I just told you right now
Shinkai.
Shinkai not coming to work suddenly is...
She must be seriously ill.
No, but because of the things that happened the other day.
Ueno, why are you just silent then? Opponent!
I can't follow what's happening before myself.
Shinkai didn't come to work?
Sakuma, why didn't you fight the chief yesterday?
There was nothing to say at that time.
Why don't you talk too, Matsutoya?
Shinkai once asked whether it was okay to do something...
...which made her happy, so I said ...
Shinkai pretended to be sick?
She should have come to apologize. Why hasn't she done it yet?
Here.
About that night...
We both felt weak...
...and things happened that way.
Things that happened?
That's how...
It was not planned.
So, don't think too much about it, and everything will come back to the way it was before.
Is that easy?
That is not something we have to think seriously about?
I think it's okay. Kosei, you are such that person.
You get drunk and sleep with anyone who is there.
I was not drunk at that time.
That's what you mean by "unplanned", right?
I mean, we are both responsible.
We use each other?
Bad relationship.
I don't want to be like this.
Why we...
We're still talking. You don't need to answer that.
- This might be Shuri. - Shuri?
I can't reach her since that incident. Not her.
Then, it doesn't...
Hello?
Shinkai? Ueno and I are near your station right now.
Can we meet right now?
Right now?
Right now, I'm in the bar named 5Tap.
Follow the rocky road from the station. This place is on the right.
It must be seen.
Those are my office mates.
Why did you invite them?
I didn't enter the office today.
They came to see me, so, I have to be polite.
I want to talk to you today.
Kosei, you come here every day.
Then, I'll excuse. Wait here.
- Saito. - Yes?
My office mates will come here.
I'd better open my bar.
Here it is! This one.
Sorry, I just stayed still the other day.
Forgive me.
It is okay. The CEO's words are true.
Even though I don't exist, the company will operate as long as there are people.
If it's that bad, I'd better just stop.
I'm glad you came to see me. I am very happy.
This is the first time we drink together.
We should go eat together too.
I don't stop working, thanks to you.
Even my work in the sales department began to feel interesting.
So, this time, I want to stop you from wanting to quit.
I'm on the opposite. Shinkai, I'd better stop.
Even though you're back, the CEO will continue like that and won't change.
Matsutoya!
I prefer you to be happy.
That's what I want to say.
But honestly, I want you to come back!
Matsutoya.
I was touched.
My feelings want you to come back and the others don't care about me who's raging inside.
Select one. Tsukumo Create needs its protector, Shinkai.
Protector?
To calm Mr. Tsukumo who is like an explosive.
How about the chief?
Ask those who want to stop to meet me directly.
Sakuma.
Sakuma!
Did I told you that I complained for the first time in the office?
Who is he fighting against?
I can't get the CEO to understand.
The feeling of being no use is stronger than feeling disappointed.
People won't change easily.
How about you, Kosei?
What?
Kosei, you want to change, right?
You want to tell them you don't want to falsify anymore.
You don't want to drop bombs so that everyday life changes?
That's radical.
You seem to have trouble the other day.
So what? Do you care for me and sleep with me?
You're a nice person. You can't say "no."
That's because you, oddly enough, was very good at that time.
What do you mean "oddly enough"?
I was fooled by your charm.
What's that? I don't do that. Is it my fault?
I don't blame you. I think of my actions.
That night, you kissed me back, right?
Am I right?
Yes.
Why?
Because I want to help.
That means you agree.
Yes, I agree. I'm sorry that you agreed.
What do you mean by that?
If you will regret it, don't do it.
Kosei, I can tell you regret it just by looking at your back.
My back?
The next morning, I woke up from the bed and prepared to leave.
You are awake but you turned your back and didn't talk to me.
I can tell you are very sorry just by seeing your back.
Am I right?
You're right.
See! I knew it.
I also didn't expect that.
It's natural to regret it.
You forbid doing it if you will regret it.
Welcome.
Akira may be a bit busy right now.
What? Akira?
Sorry. I can't contact Shuri.
Can I meet her?
Then, you can go.
Are you fighting?
Where were you?
- I can't also contact Shuri. - What?
She left my apartment. There was an incident in the office.
I think it's faster to go to your apartment.
- She is not there. - What?
That's why I thought she was in your apartment.
Kosei, look. This is my lover.
She is very sweet, right?
Sweet, but choose humans.
What?
Reporting missing people?
Isn't that too much?
Shuri has no other place to go.
I guess, even though we live together, we can report even if it's not our family.
So, can I make a report?
Yes.
- Let's go to the police station. - Let's go.
Sorry. I'll be back later.
- Watch out. - Yes.
Wait a minute.
What is his name?
Tacchin.
Tacchin...
Where is it now?
I keep it safe in my house.
The owner.
According to my friend, he's a good person.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
Why is the bearded-person here?
I'm sorry.
I told you not to tell them where I am.
But I didn't tell Akira.
Don't be noisy!
Tacchin!
Did he eat well?
Yes, he eats well.
- You're a very good rabbit! - Yes.
Call...
...Akira and Kyoya, or one of them at least.
Why would I?
They worry about you.
They went to the police station to report a missing person.
What? They are stupid, huh?
They are stupid. You know how they are.
Call those stupid persons.
Wait a minute.
It's Shuri.
What?
"I'm still alive."
"You fools."
Huh?
What?
When people are nice to us, don't you feel sad because you're not good?
If so, you must be kind to them too.
Isn't that the answer?
This is not a quiz.
This is not a quiz? So what is this?
You are so noisy!
She did not reply. I want to know where she is.
She is a problem wherever he is.
By the way...
...Shuri said she was grateful that you helped her.
Me too. I was saved by you.
So, I want you to be happy with someone who is good...
Don't decide that for me!
You, Shuri and even my mother continue to live, and I am abandoned.
I'm crazy about saying this, but I still love you, Akira.
I honestly don't know what love is,
but I want to know what you think...
...and I want to fight with you.
So...
...would you consider accepting me again?
Come on.
Oh?
Shuri sent a message to me.
She didn't say where she was, but she was fine.
I see.
How about Kyoya?
He went home. He's greeting you with regards.
Greetings? Terrible.
You said that!
Akira, you like that type of man.
Why talk about that so suddenly?
It's fine.
You like people who are like Kureha, right? We are very different.
I'm the beard one too.
I have a terrible smile.
It's not terrible anymore.
Is it true?
I won't shave my beard.
I didn't ask you.
I might lose my job.
What?
It's okay. What if you sit down?
Answer it.
It's okay.
Maybe, the call is important.
Our conversation is more important.
Why don't you answer?
I don't want to.
It's okay. Why isn't it answered?
You also have to answer.
Kaiji?
Kureha?
Thank you for coming! Hug!
Hug!
Welcome.
Nope.
Eh?
Nice to meet you. I'm Akira.
Hello, I'm Kaiji.
No need to do that.
Then, I will hug you!
Radish in oden?
It's very absorbent.
"Fake Married Woman's Current Life" They dig up my past.
Divis Kaiji public relations was angry with me. So, I was exiled here.
This is just too much. We might leave Japan.
Leave?
Where?
Sydney, maybe?
"Maybe"? It's far from here.
"The crabs and shrimp are delicious!"
Food is important.
How about your company?
I'll let my assistant take over.
You have no problem with that?
I'm not too interested in managing a business.
How about your new game?
I can do it anywhere.
What about your brand, Kureha?
I'll move my office abroad.
Will that surf?
Is this decision the result of serious consideration?
I work with intuition.
Momentum is important.
Goodbye. Japan!
- Goodbye! - Goodbye!
This combination is not good.
They married shortly after meeting.
Moving abroad is a joke...
- Joke? - Is that a joke?
This is the truth.
What is that dress for?
To apologize in the press conference.
Apologize?
I'm Kureha Tachibana.
I'm sorry for causing this problem.
I will be more careful with my behavior, as a supportive wife.
Is that your clothes for the speech?
If not, sponsors and shareholders will not understand it.
I opposed it, but Kurechin insisted on doing it.
How do I look? Is it suitable for me?
Are you sure about this?
After I was operated through surgery, Kaiji told me this.
"Kurechin hasn't lost anything."
"When it turns into a butterfly, the caterpillar changes dramatically to a cocoon."
"The change was made by the power of the caterpillar itself."
"Kurechin turned into a new Kurechin."
After he said that to me, I proposed to him.
When he answered. "Yes, the bell rings!"
Ding-dong!
What?
Do the bells ring afterwards?
Not when you fall in love?
With Kaiji, huh.
That's a great echo.
I'm the wife of Kaiji Tachibana, Kureha Tachibana.
I apologize for the mess I caused.
I apologize for my behavior which caused confusion.
From now on, I'll be aware of my position, and be careful as a loyal wife.
Please ask, if there are questions.
How about your relationship with VB vocalist Yama?
That was before I got married, but our relationship was good.
How can you marry Kaiji Tachibana?
I'll pass to that question.
There are rumors that you are just eyeing his money.
That's wrong.
Did you get married because your pregnant?
Do you plan to have children?
How about that?
Do you know...
Yes?
Do you just get married to have children?
I married him because I wanted to be with him. Is there anything else?
- She can't stand it anymore. - What did Kaiji say about causing this mess?
You're just exaggerating it.
Why should I apologize?
So, you don't regret it?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I came here today with this outfit.
That means you don't regret.
Kureha Tachibana is Kureha, before she became the wife of Kaiji Tachibana.
Yes.
I will live according to my wishes from now on.
Yes.
- With Kaiji. - Yes.
Thank you for coming today.
No, this is not a conference!
Wait!
What for?
What are you here for?
What is it...?
I'm here to make sure I can only be myself, not with someone else.
What?
- See you later! - See you later!
Kurechin's the best!
I'll pick her up.
Kosei, you are bigger than you think.
Kurechin.
The situation will get worse.
Kaiji is happy, so, that's good.
They dropped a bomb.
They really dropped it.
How about our conversation?
What?
That we regret it?
About you might lose everything, including your work.
You remember so much.
That was just now. Of course, I remember that.
Rarely, you see naive traits, like Kaiji.
Yes, Kureha too.
I'm not that type of person.
Neither am I.
When I'm emotional, the results are never good.
When I'm emotional, I regret it afterwards.
I don't want to take risks.
Right.
Even so,
I am sick of being dominated by other people.
Are you stupid?
I think it's okay to be stupid.
You're just exaggerating it.
Why should I apologize?
So, you don't regret it?
The original nature appears.
I'm sorry.
I finally found you.
I'm here...
You forgot something.
You don't lose confidence just because you don't succeed there.
There is another perfect place for you.
I will look for it too.
Here.
"I will resign from Tsukumo Create Japan for personal reasons."
Shinkai?
Good morning.
Shinkai!
You really came!
Shinkai!
Your vacation is long.
It's for two days.
Take care of all the work here. Make sure it runs smoothly!
Excuse me.
Chief, can you come here?
What?
Can you listen to what I want to say?
I was asked to deliver a request for the resignation of Shuri Nagato.
Please agree with this.
It's very short.
What do you think about us?
What? You're my employees.
Like you said, you can change employees,
but we employees can also change superiors.
Your scream is like a threat.
I won't scream if the job is done right.
We need you to talk normally.
We cannot fulfill the repeated orders.
This is in normal speed! How much do you want me to talk?
Not everyone is like you.
Those of you who are slow to understand!
If everything is slow, then your words are difficult to understand.
Do you think it's not sad to know?
What?
I'm sad that I can't make you understand.
This one-way relationship is tiring.
I'm a human who works for you.
I am a human. Because I'm a human,
I can be happy or sad, and occasionally make mistakes.
Sometimes, I feel that I'm at my limit.
"Request for Resignation" Thank you for everything.
I will stop...
...before pressing myself too much and kill myself.
I'll leave my tasks according to the procedure. May I excuse myself.
Wait, Shinkai! I won't approve it!
What makes you very dissatisfied?
Shinkai and I have told you several times!
Why don't you want to listen even just one bit?
Me too.
I will get out of my comfort zone, so, I want you to listen.
I don't like surveillance cameras.
I can't concentrate with all your shouting.
Because of bad reviews on you, nobody wants to apply here.
What are you talking about?
Shinkai!
We wish you for success...
...on your new job.
Ueno!
Nice! You have already forgotten Shinkai!
I won't approve it!
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
What is this? Massive cleaning?
Thank you for coming.
You rarely ask for a talk, so I fulfill your request.
The consulting company deals with the process, and also the recruiting company.
There was no clear connection between the two companies.
But the bills issued by Honesty Consulting...
...are available for the Prose.
There is no clear business relationship.
It's a fake bill.
I will reveal the secret of their pool of income.
Nemoto.
Do you understand what you're doing?
" Kosei Nemoto" You're involved in a fraud.
Yes.
You will submit this also to the tax office,
...and recommend a meaningful tax evasion investigation.
Yes.
I am sorry...
...for telling you this was done when the other work was finished.
If it would be me, I would pretend not to know and forget it.
Scams like this are everywhere!
You don't need to destroy your life because of this.
It's quite the opposite.
I plan to reclaim my life.
I am a certified public accountant and tax accountant, Kosei Nemoto.
Hello, this is Nemoto.
I carry the Honesty Consulting's accounting documents.
Why are you here?
I don't have time.
Can I come in?
Wait on the second floor.
What's wrong?
Sorry. Please continue.
In my opinion...
I don't want to be involved anymore.
I have reported that your actions are generating income.
See you later!
Can I just hit you once?
Takanashi! What does this mean?
- Hey! - Yes.
If he closes his office, why isn't he here?
Right. That's how Kosei is.
Do you know where he is now?
If it's been a long time in the bar business like me,
there are people who stop coming suddenly.
Then other customers come,
...and become customers, and we build new relationships.
It changed a little, but the cycle repeats.
You will meet a new drinking buddy.
I agree.
You will come to my bar's anniversary party, right?
Yes. I will drink Nine Tailed Cats this year!
Thanks. I'll leave the payment here.
Thank you.
It's ready.
What are you doing walking in the afternoon?
I'm unemployed.
I even work.
I'll enjoy this!
Their hostel is pathetic.
The size is only seven square meters. At least I'm with Tacchin.
The original Tacchin can't come to the party.
What?
Hey!
Sorry.
Welcome back.
I'm back.
Welcome.
Akira, will Kosei come?
I don't know.
Only a letter from Kosei is not enough for me.
- Here. - Thanks.
Chiharu sent me vinegar again, the other day.
What?
I send beer for him.
You don't need to. That becomes annoying, right?
That's fun. I will stop if I don't like it anymore.
About work, I can refer you to our affiliated company.
I have enough references to take.
Okay.
I will get the benefits of not working and I really think about it.
What job do I want. What do I want to do now.
The answer for the past day?
I'm sorry.
Yes! I expected it.
But I still want to tell you.
Are you happy, Akira?
In my opinion, this is good.
I will seek happiness from now on!
Good luck!
Shut up!
Yes?
Akira?
Hello?
So, you are still alive.
I will not die.
I never thought you would move first, Kosei.
Did you extend your rent?
Yes. I live a simple life.
Is that so?
What are you doing right now?
I'm drinking beer now.
It's too early.
Tomorrow is 5Tap's anniversary party.
We have to drink Nine Tailed Cats this year!
Even if you come, you won't be able to drink. You will serve others.
I won't do that this year.
Kosei, you might get drunk before tasting it again.
Maybe.
Will you not come?
Let's drink beer.
Come on, I want to drink with you.
"Thank you. This is our second anniversary."
Thank you.
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
Beautiful flower. Thanks.
Saburo and Shuri, can you help?
What?
Yes! Shuri!
- Come on, stand up! - Why? OK!
Takurama-kan! What time do you think will Kosei come?
I'll open the Nine Tailed Cats at 3:00 p.m., so, before that?
- 3:00 p.m.? - Soon.
- Hello. - Welcome!
Sir, please apologize to Shinkai!
Even though I did it, she won't come back.
- It's okay. - What time will Shinkai come?
I think she will arrive soon.
Okay.
It's not like that. Setsuko smokes and drinks too.
Of all the things, he likes beer the most.
She is attractive from all aspects.
What are the photos on your screen now, Ueno?
Sakuma.
Why me?
To support my heart.
You won't know when I stop.
Sakuma!
The curse to be hated by all the secretaries he recruits!
That's not good.
- There! - Stop it!
There are many! Is this a drink buffet?
Of course not. This is not a drink buffet.
You treat me because you invited me here.
No. You drink like a fish.
What?
- What? - What?
"Nine Tailed Cats"
Don't say "What".
What are Akira and Kosei doing right now?
It's 3:00!
Then, let's open it!
Two ancient beer bottles from Nasu, Nine Tailed Cats!
Yes!
What's that?
Beautiful.
Preserved for ten years.
Is this okay, even though I'm unemployed?
You are right. I'm unemployed too.
How about your house?
I rent an apartment now.
In that case, you have nothing.
Nothing at all.
Even though I'm still alive, my life is over.
It's not the last. It just changed.
Although the changes are invisible,
but it changes slowly and becomes less bitter.
Like this beer.
Preserved?
It will taste like fruit.
You have never drunk it.
I wish so.
What if it turns out it's not good after you drink?
I will still drink it.
- Then, let's drink. - Yes.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
What do you want to do tomorrow?
- Do you want to go to the beach? - Yes.
- You want to? - I'm not kidding!
Excuse me.
This is it!
Come and see the food first!
Yes, but we won't eat oysters and shrimp every day.
If so, we will see a residential area.
For the time being.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Delicious!
Sydney!
Will Kakei get married? Does he have a lover?
It had not run smoothly due to a misunderstanding,
but they resolved it by talking, like Hanai and Shinkai.
You don't know what effect you have caused to other people.
Hello, everyone! I'm Hashizume.
I've been divorced three times!
Eh?
The fourth one will be the last. I'm here, looking for a partner.
Thank you.
It's nice to meet you.
Ah. I'm Hanai.
I want to be a man who is like the sea.
In other words, a big, broad-minded heart,
and...
...and I tend to give my lover an apartment.
Nice to meet you.
I gave the apartment to my second wife.
Come on, all stand up.
Cheers!
This is the beer that Akira sent.
Cheers for his memory!
- Cheers for his memory! - Cheers for his memory!
Is it true? That's good to know.
Both of these bottles have run out.
What? Everyone?
Kosei?
They are drinking and having fun.
They are having fun.
I'm already finished.
It's empty.
He said there was a church near here.
Church?
The bell will be rang at 4:00 p.m.
Do you want to go there?
He said it would ring, but maybe not.
Disaster radio sound again?
Maybe, the temple bell?
Oh, there it is.
There it is.
Extraordinary.
Is it at 4:00 p.m.?
Yes, at 4:00 p.m.
I want to hear the sound of the bell.
Maybe, we won't hear it.
Our senses have diminished to function.
Even though the bell doesn't ring or I can't hear it...
...can we stay together?
About that...
...I don't know.
But, it depends on us.
Maybe, it will ring now.
