[ Spring of 2019 ]
Sakura,
Sakura, this is my daughter.
His name is Yume. [ Japanese word for dream ]
Even though the word "dream" is what I hate the most,
still I have wanted to be a mature adult like you,
but I didn't.
Until now, I still think about it.
Maybe, in the third year after entering the company,
you made a big problem.
Even though I told you not to meet with me again...
If you really do it,
what will happen to me, huh...
[ March 2011 ]
Grandpa,
It's already my third year after entering Hanamura Construction.
Today, I'm really happy.
The bridge, for our island,
will be built starting this year.
I want to immediately enter the CE department.
Surely, I still have time to participate in the bridge's completion.
I will do my best in the HR department.
Goodness. I'm about to give birth.
Eh? You're kidding, right? How come?
Don't bother for that.
Just call an ambulance right now!
Okay... Got it.
Then, I had a fever for the first time, this year.
My senior in the company...
...said that I was like a city person.
Did he said it for real?
Are you alright?
Excuse me.
Is there anything I can help you with?
- Well, no thanks. - Let's go.
Sorry,
are you an otaku fan?
If you don't want this to be disposed tomorrow,
then it will be very helpful if you haven't take this out first.
Wait a second!
I've hidden it somewhere properly.
What is this?
Are you hiding these shoddy DVD's?
I have already thrown away these because our child will be born.
I already told you.
You're terrible!
Nice.
Splendid!
Hey guys, let's take a picture, okay?
- Okay. - Go, go.
Picture together, okay? Come on.
Hello?
I'm sorry to say this.
This is a fine art that was made by Robert Indiana.
It will help if you don't go up inside.
Oh sorry. Let's leave. We can't play here.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
[ Douki No Sakura ] [ Our Dearest Sakura ]
This is not good... Totally.
Good morning.
Kitano-san, you're taking photos of the building again?
Do you want to see it then?
No need for that.
Anyways, an employee from public relations department will come here.
I think this is good.
Thank you.
Why are you here, Yuri-san?
I'm in-charge of making brochures for new employees next year.
So I came here to do interviews and ask for cooperation for each department.
Tsukimura-kun, you're really famous for that talent.
You must be called Miss Public Relations.
Please stop that, Sir.
I have also heard that all attention was on yours.
No, no.
Not like this person who's troublesome and who always annoys the boss.
Are you referring to me, Ma'am?
Sorry, even though she behaves this way, can you please look after her?
You can take her seriousness well.
You're great. You pay attention to your colleagues too.
You must be glad to have a good friend, Kitano.
Of course, Sir.
Since you are in-charge from the HR and you're with her,
can you interview the employees who are already in their third year?
Sorry to ask this, but why them?
You've already understand your works.
They've been hired not long ago, so it's better for them to be the subjects.
Use this as a reference for this year's.
What is it again? Are there any more problems?
Do we need to make something like this?
Eh?
If we make a nice building,
surely, later, they will come and gather by themselves, right?
You're saying complicated things again.
I like architects like you,
but in this world it's not always about humans who have dreams.
There are times when new employees want to last for a long time...
...because of the advises given by the company.
So with that means,
our company must have a good image.
Have a good working environment.
We need to have a good appeal, right?
Oh, I see. I understand, Sir.
As usual, you're doing it.
Have you never obeyed your boss's orders?
Yes.
Aren't you like that too?
There is no other else than you.
Is that so?
Although we may find that our bosses' orders are somewhat odd,
whether we like it or not, we still have to do it because that's our job.
My job is...
Gosh. I don't care about your business.
In the meantime,
as you're with me at the moment, please don't bother me.
I told you to stop doing that.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
What kind of work will you do today?
I was chosen as the head of the Bayside area development project team,
In order to meet the company's expectations, I will try to do my best.
Besides,
a third-year worker like me...
...got interested in big projects like this.
This is just normal.
I guess it's your momentum now, Aoi-kun.
No, it's not like that.
Why do you think you were entrusted to build this project?
That...
Of course,
I received a lot of work from my seniors,
Maybe, that's why, I've learned a lot.
The members of the urban development department asked me...
...to make everyone happy,
so I felt lucky to have come here.
You're so excited.
It's not like that, Sir.
I'm really serious, Sir.
Okay. Fine.
Why?
Just because you're an office worker once,
you're just bragging yourself right now.
Shut up.
In order for me to become president, I must become superior.
Can you care about that?
Yuri-san, let's go to the next person.
- Eh!? - Right.
You have no other questions?
I still have a lot to say.
The photo? Did you take good photos?
During my third year here, we've been qualified as a first-class architects.
Since we're receiving many works, we need to finish those.
Thus, I find it hard every day.
Oh, I see.
You're like three years on a stone, Rentaro, kun. [ i.e. Three years on a (cold) stone (will make the stone warm) ]
Eh?
Hey, can you smile? You're about to be taken a photo.
Well, but I'm just good posing like this.
That's why, just... lift your face higher.
Be upright.
Senpai, please be serious.
This cute colleague will scold you, okay?
You look unfriendly and has a dark aura, huh?
At this rate, you won't be able to be a designer.
You also have to say this to him.
We understood. We'll start recording now.
Even though I'm still halfway through,
from now on, I will learn more about buildings,
I also want to be loved more!
Your expression seems very uplifting,
is there something that have triggered you?
Well, that is...
The boss you hate has gone, hasn't it?
No, it's not like that.
There are colleagues who trust me,
When I see them working, they have somehow gave me courage.
Me too, someday,
I will find a job that I can manage by myself.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Do your best, Kikuo-kun.
Yes, thank you.
Could it be... Are you two dating?
No way. That's impossible.
- Isn't it? - You're right.
We're not like that. We're just partners.
That's right.
Like this?
- Nothing's wrong right? - Right.
If so, can you send the photos through e-mail?
Understood.
You've done well.
Goodness.
I'm tired.
I'm startled! Why?
As expected,
it's better if you do the interviewing.
Eh? I don't need to.
But you are very popular,
so I want to know how you would react about it.
Please don't bother me.
What if you'll just do what she asked to?
But, sir... What if the people from the public relations...
...appear in the department brochures later?
Well, that has nothing to do with it since you're Miss Public Relations.
No... You're the Madame of Hanamura Constructions.
- Please stop it, Sir. - Okay.
What kind of work do you want to do right now?
As long as I'm still cooperating with my seniors in PR, then I can fulfill my work every day.
It's been 3 years after I entered the company,
I think PR serves as the connection between the company and everyone in Japan.
It's the work that bridges one's heart to others.
Of course, all Hanamura Construction employees...
...not only hope for the wellness of their clients but also for everyone.
So, they are passionate to build something better every day.
That's the public relations wants to relay.
Don't hesitate anymore and don't think about it later.
I'm very grateful.
Eh? From what?
About the comments you've made.
Finally, you assumed that public relations is your job.
Don't you know that it's just free service for this brochures?
This is not what I really wanted.
I just wanted to change jobs.
Sorry to ask this.
But for what reason?
Because, the contractor is generally male.
There's no job that the company wants to be entrusted to me.
As I am always a female worker, it would make me difficult.
Maybe in about 2 to 3 years,
I will leave the company.
Goodness.
He's really troublesome.
What's wrong?
I've been with a senior director of the automobile factory before.
After we did business once, he got hooked up with a hybrid business,
and he always invited me even though it was troublesome.
Since he's our valuable client, I can't ignore him.
If that's the case,
how about saying that to your boss?
I already did.
Then, he said, "You're just troubling the other party".
"Please be mature enough."
Even though I'm trying to be good, he just looks at me like I'm his woman.
Then,
I'll just call him.
I'll tell him not to interfere with your personal matters.
Absolutely don't do that.
Then, what do you want?
Right. Wouldn't it better if you come with me?
If you go with me, the atmosphere will be less awkward.
Oh right. After eating, just say "Thank you for the meal",
then head straight home.
But,
Tonight, I will travel to Odaiba to look for the building...
Just do it another time.
I'm asking you.
Please help your fellow colleague.
Sorry to ask this. Why did we come to this place?
We're going to a 3-star restaurant today.
Don't you feel bad wearing clothes like that?
But, this is all that I have.
Unbelievable! You wore the same clothes for 3 years?
It's okay with me.
I wash this off during my day-offs.
And sleep with ordinary clothes under the mattress.
What are you saying? There were still people like you in Japan?
How about this?
No way. That's more expensive than my room's rent.
No need to hesitate. It's my gift for you.
Yuri-san, do you have a lot of money?
Not really that.
I have my family card.
Excuse me.
Let me take you to your place.
I'm sorry.
Are you just fine.
It's the first time I wore clothes like this.
There he is.
Please, don't do anything without my instructions...
...and don't say unnecessary things.
I understood.
My apologies. I am late.
Yuri-chan, I've been waiting for you.
Well, who is she...?
She's my colleague.
Even though I said I just wanted to eat with you,
but she really wanted to come with me.
She's like a fan of my company.
Is it okay for her to come along?
Yes, of course.
Sorry to bother you.
I'm her colleague, Sakura. Her friend.
Kitano Sakura.
It's my first time eating this delicious food.
What food is this, actually?
Well, my apologies. She grew up from the countryside.
Yuri-chan, how about your work?
Have you had any complaints during your third year in the company?
No, sir. None at all.
Somehow,
I just wanted everyone at work to consider us women.
There are times when the comfort room is dirty.
As there's only one in that place,
sometimes when there are men, I felt like they're going to do something.
What are you doing?
I want to make a report for my boss so I can improve my work in this field.
I'm impressed. You two are still very active at work.
No, sir. It's not like that.
My company has just started.
I'm thinking of making women work conveniently.
That's what I always said.
Is that true? You're a great director, sir.
I work hard for my girlfriend, you know.
Thank you.
Excuse me. I'll go back after a minute.
Yes.
Here
- What's this? - Your taxi fare.
It's okay. I'll just walk home.
You're oblivious.
I want to talk alone with Yuri-chan.
Even though you don't realize it,
I also want to know her more deeply and personally.
I haven't realized that at all.
I already had a long enough relationship with your company,
so if you want to listen to me,
I will pardon you now.
You're passionate and serious with your work.
It would be better if you can enter the department you want.
You said it, right?
You want to enter the CE department.
Is there anything you'd like to say?
Eh?
Where's Director?
He already went home.
Huh? But why?
He said he wanted to be alone with you,
but I can't let it be so I rejected it.
There may be a misunderstanding later,
so I am telling your honest feelings towards him.
Wait a second? What are you saying?
Yuri-san...
He doesn't consider you as his lover at all.
It will help if he doesn't invite you again.
You couldn't refuse because you are his business partner,
so he must stop seducing frail women.
You're kidding, right?
What if he gets angry later and yells at my boss?
I... just want to help you, Yuri-san.
If this... becomes a problem in the company,
I don't know now. You've been casually talking with him.
You can't be trusted.
I'm so exhausted.
It's like this again...
Because I really like it...
Yuri-chan, we have been worried for you so long.
Welcome, my child!
- I'm back home. - Hey, Yuri.
Let's drink sake together occassionally.
Eh?
Papa, Yuri's tired and have just finished her work.
Am I not enough for you?
As always, you're getting lovey-dovey, huh?
Ah, Sir! Please sing a song.
Goodness! They are seriously...
...terrible.
The people around me are very troublesome.
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake today.
Well, next week won't be a problem either.
I am back.
Kitano-san!
What have you done?
What do you mean, Ma'am?
The public relations head is here.
He's been already here long before.
Kitano, please come here.
He said this time that our valuable client got furious.
What exactly does that mean!?
New building construction,
We should be able to accept it,
but we failed!
Why did that happen?
I just wanted to protect my colleague from a possible sexual harassment.
But she didn't say much about it!
Isn't it just because you were invited to a meal so he grabbed your hand?
Well... Yes, sir...
She's already used to this little thing.
She was able to already cope it in the past! Am I not right?
No. You're right, sir.
I understood.
Let me apologize to the director.
No need.
You're just adding oil to the fire.
If that's the case, what should I do?
If so, how about apologizing to the public relations head and her?
I understood, Sir.
I apologize for what I did.
This is really strong!
Everyone, cover yourselves under the table!
Are you all right?
Yes.
I'm going to the president's office to ask for instructions,
I'll leave the rest to you.
Yes, sir.
Everyone, can you ask how are the situation of others?
- I need to confirm everyone's safety. - Right away, Ma'am.
Sir, we should also consider conveying this to the media.
Oh, that's right.
Hello.
I'm Kitano from the HR department.
Oh, Sakura, The area here was not damaged...
...and we're currently gathering information for injured people.
By the way, are you all right there?
Well, I'm now looking at Tohoku's branch's data.
And I am thinking of a way now.
Goodness...
I'm done.
That's the time when the general contractor needs to respond properly.
I have to study about it for my future.
I brought the disaster prevention kits.
If so,
please help each other to send it to all departments.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, Sir.
May I go home first?
I can't contact the kindergarten school,
so I'm worried for my daughter.
Well, you may go.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, everyone! Sorry, I'll go first.
You've work hard.
To all female employees, you can go home first.
Your families will worry about you later.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Hey, Kitano, you can now go home.
What's wrong with you again?
For what reason that female employees can go home?
I live alone so no one is waiting for me at home,
so I want to help more.
You see.
You shouldn't go home late again as it's dangerous if you go alone.
If you won't go home, then the others can't go home either.
Isn't it?
Welcome.
Is the shop okay?
I guess... around two or three plates broke.
At this moment,
can you make me a large set of Levanilla?
I'll make it if you want.
Thank you.
Yuri-san, what's wrong?
The train has stopped its service so I can't go home.
I can't even see taxis around the street.
Then,
do you want to stay at my house for awhile?
Eh?
It's just near here.
Why? You said you wanted to work overtime? Were you not allowed?
I asked for it but it seems impossible.
I told you already,
the company only think of female employees as backup for male employees.
I see.
But that doesn't mean you can't.
We can enjoy our own lives.
By the way, is your house still far away?
Around 45 minutes.
Huh? You said it's just near?
When I go home, I always look a photo from our building,
so I feels like I went home in a short time.
Eh?
It's like this again?
Aamzing.
It has no damages even it was at intensity 5.
Please come in.
Gosh. I'm tired.
Please, have a seat.
Later, I will make delicious Murakami tea.
Not good.
Totally.
Eh? What do you mean?
[ Are you just safe there? ]
I forgot to inform my Grandpa.
Do you still use fax nowadays?
My grandpa hates using e-mails.
Then, it's better if you just call him.
My Grandpa's hearing is poor.
And also,
when I call someone who's important for me, I don't want to end it.
As after ending the call, I feel lonely.
Yuri-san, you're like that too, aren't you?
But, I mean that,
This room is full of work piled up.
I have still 3 years left here.
so I have to struggle even more.
Yuri-san, you're like that too, aren't you?
Even though it was only two years ago, it feels like it's been a while.
That's true.
Misaki Island Bridge?
The bridge construction that stretches to your home island.
The construction schedule has been fixed, right?
Yes, it is.
When the bridge is finished,
Yuri-san, please stop by there.
Everyone on the island is good.
You can also see turtles laying eggs.
Right.
Here is my grandpa's croquette.
Please eat this to your heart's content.
It's... very delicious.
Sure.
But isn't it too late?
Maybe it's impossible for you to get involved in the bridge construction.
There is still time before the bridge is finished.
If I work properly in the HR department,
I believe that I will definitely transfer.
I'm not sure about that.
I don't think it's possible if you still work like that.
Why do you think so?
In a company, we just follow what the boss says,
and do what we are told to do.
I'm saying this to you.
People like you, who never follow the boss orders, surely gets reprimanded.
You've almost been expelled, right?
If I work well and contribute to the company,
would not that happen?
Well, just do as you wish.
Because after all, you want to enter the company right?
Yuri-san, you feel the same too?
I didn't really think about that.
When I seek for a job,
I only choose one of the top companies.
Right. That makes me feel better.
But,
I thought about this after entering the company.
I wonder if there's another place for me...
I'm completely invisible.
Yuri-san you've always been smiling while you're working.
I do that in order to be pretentious.
I also have an unfriendly aura.
I can speak frankly to express my feelings.
But,
if it I do that,
I will just lose myself as I won't know what I'm doing.
So I just try to control myself through smiling.
But,
when we've been trained before,
didn't you already expressed your honest feelings to me?
And a person like you...
...became alone in this world!
That time...
I still haven't accepted you.
But,
I'm grateful to you.
Even though I was surprised at first,
but I was able to know other feelings,
as you have taught me.
That's why,
wouldn't it be okay...
if you're just honest and straightforward?
I have never expressed what I truly feel to my parents.
My father got money and got acquainted with my mother at a club in Ginza.
I wonder why my parents are so vulgar.
Ever since I was a child, I wasn't able to bear this kind of shame.
Actually, I have wanted to find some kindness from my parents.
I wondered if that would come someday.
Grandpa? Has Sakura-chan asked something from you?
If there's something happened to her,
you can't live in peace.
But,
don't blame yourself.
My son and his wife who died,
Grandfather is not wrong.
Grandpa!
There's a fax again!
Huh?
Grandpa,
The HR department got busy doing after-response from the earthquake that occurred.
We've been contacting our employees throughout Japan.
We've been confirming the safety of subcontractors at all working locations.
We have prepared food, blankets, and toiletries.
We need to send the narrative report to the Tohoku's office.
Many employees from the central office have prepared supplies,
And my duty is to support all of Tohoku's work.
Sakura-chan, I'm going first.
One of my colleagues went to Sendai today.
[ A few days later ]
Thanks.
Everything has been confirmed.
Thank you.
Sir,
everyone has able to confirm this.
Oh, I see.
If so, I want a written response after the earthquake happened.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Everyone,
We'll work same as usual today.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Kitano!
Yes, sir.
It's about our client who got angry before.
We still haven't discussed it from yesterday.
Maybe, you may get expelled.
Sir, could it be that she'll be fired here, wouldn't she?
That's a good question.
By the way, Kitano.
For the new hires that you interviewed the other day with the PR,
I want you to check if what they said matched here.
I understood, Sir.
Your fellow colleagues are handsome and pretty.
They also say good things.
I agree about that too.
But just replace this part.
Why is that, Sir?
She...
...seems to be getting married and is leaving the company.
Yuri-san!
You startled me. What is it?
I asked from the PR department and said that you're here.
But, what on earth...
Why are you only halfway there?
That's because...
Are you afraid of heights?
Well...
Anyways...
Are you really going to get married?
Yes.
Because my boyfriend have proposed to me.
After the earthquake,
I have appreciated my relationship with him, so I want to marry him.
But,
isn't it okay if you don't have to leave the company?
I told you, right?
This company is not a suitable place for me.
Even though I work well here,
I don't think that I'm a useful person.
I have been pretending to be a good child.
I'm tired of smiling just for business.
But,
will you be happy after marriage?
That is...
He's doctor so I won't have financial problems.
If I already have children, I can surely build a beautiful family.
Is that what you've dreamed of?
If not,
I don't want you to quit the company.
I want to work together with you for long.
I have a dream.
To build a bridge on my home island.
I have a dream.
I want to trust my friend forever.
I have a dream.
With my friend...
Can you stop saying those ridiculous things?
I told you, right?
I'm not your partner.
Stop blabbering about dreams!
What good is it to have a dream?
If I don't have a dream, I can't live?
Why do you want to make a bridge on your home island?
Why do you want to trust your friends forever?
What you have asserted is just terrible.
In the end, you...
...just think about what you think that's right.
That's why,
you can say anything to anyone without reading the atmosphere.
But,
you're wrong.
You're being ridiculous.
Pretending to be a cute little bird,
You just drop your shit on someone's head and just spin around.
Geez, how did your Grandpa raised you?
At this rate,
you should know you're going to lose, right?
You always see your dreams.
Isn't it time to wake up yourself and see the reality?
Everything you do will just be in vain!
And that bridge on your island will never be built either!
For you too, this is not a place that suits you.
How about just packing your things and go back to your island?
You're an ugly hag!
Huh!?
You're an ugly hag!
Wait a second.
- Whom are you referring too? - You're an ugly hag!
You've been arrogant and always criticized people.
In the end, you just said that this is not a place for you.
But aren't you just running away from the reality?
Wait, what are you saying?
Talking about ugliness,
where are you going now from here?
Let me say this again to you.
To get married and pretend you're a good wife...
It turns out that you're not yet prepared for it.
You're just saying nonsensical things!
Stop blabbering using your dialect!
My grandpa said this...
"If you're just saving the seeds,"
"you won't be able to grow forever."
People like you who don't have the seeds of happiness...
It's definitely impossible for you.
Same goes with your work.
Even though women can't gain their trust and take a job,
don't you think you just have to try?
Even if it's hard,
you're already at this company.
You have to create a working environment where women can work conveniently!
Can you change that forcible smile?
Just better be who you are.
If someone says bad things about you,
I'll listen to all your rants!
If you keep this up,
you're just getting uglier!
Wait...
What... What are you doing!?
Let me tell you this.
You and I live in a different world.
I don't want to breathe the same air as a villager like you!
So,
can you not appear again in front of me?
Grandpa,
I and my fellow colleague...
...got in a big quarrel for the first time.
"Everything you do will just be in vain", she said.
She also said that there won't be a bridge on our island.
It can't be helped because both of us were angry.
I want to make up with her again.
But she said she didn't want to breathe the same air as me.
I want to eat your croquette.
[ You have met a good person. ]
[ The one who seriously scolds you is your true friend. ]
[ You must not lose her. ]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's a pity. Tsukimura Yuri-san is getting married.
Then, any messages for everyone?
Thank you very much, everyone.
From now on, I'll utilize what I have learned in this company,
I'll become a good wife and mother in order to support my family.
Excuse me.
Huh?
It's you again!?
What are you doing here?
Everyone will lose a talented person like her,
is that okay for you if you don't prevent it?
Since you're her senior in life,
if she marries like this, she won't be happy,
so can you please reconsider about it?
What are you saying?
This person chose a feel-safe way.
Until now, her life has never changed though.
Actually, she thought this wouldn't be the same forever,
but inside of her, she's afraid.
Is that true, Tsukimura-kun?
No, that's wrong. She's totally ridiculous.
I'm sorry. We'll excuse ourselves first.
I told you to stop!
Do you want to add more problems with me?
I'm sorry,
but... I told Grandfather this one.
"I'm going to part with Yuri-san."
"Yuri-san, for me,"
"is a real friend."
Huh? On what grounds?
Haven't you got really mad at me?
Weren't you just forced to smile?
Isn't...
...that the factor of having real friends?
What I like about you is...
...not because you're beautiful,
but because you say things honestly,
so I think I can trust you.
If someone like you can be on my side,
I feel my heart gets strengthened.
From now on if there is something,
We'll be on the same side.
So,
would you be my friend?
Who wants to be your friend...
Wow, congratulations.
Are you the first colleague to get out from here?
Is there any problem?
It's delicious, girl.
If you think it's getting difficult, it's better to get married.
Well,
after this you'll have your child.
And after that, how about making a-mama-and-kid blog full of lies?
Having a life like that is not bad though.
I hate lilies.
Their smell is pungent.
What's wrong?
I like you.
Huh?
I have liked you when we first met.
I see...
I'm sorry. I couldn't say it all this time.
Because I know that later, I will be rejected too.
Anyways, be always happy.
I will become lonely because we will not meet again.
Aren't you just stupid?
Oh, you've done your best.
Well, I mean,
congratulations on your marriage.
Thank you.
I assume that Sakura is my friend.
Huh?
If she's by your side, no matter how difficult it is,
I feel you won't choose the wrong way.
So what?
You're telling me to be her friend?
If possible...
The thing is...
Later, you and I can be friends too.
What's with you?
What's with all of them?
Wait a minute!
You're so persistent.
Are there still problems?
Sorry,
I really wanted to say this to you.
What is it?
Can you return your ID card?
Huh?
It's my work as belonging to the HR department.
Thank you.
Is this enough? I'm still busy.
After this, I have to try on my wedding clothes.
Sorry, there is one more thing I want to say.
What?
Do you want...
...to take a picture with me one last time?
It's obvious, I don't want to.
We're not friends.
Then, at least...
From now on,
find a good friend.
Meet good friends.
I will struggle...
...to find a friend as good as you, Yuri-san.
I'm hoping!
Why?
Why can't my feet step forward?
Why am I crying?
Stop it already!
What is a good friend?
What is a good colleague?
Because of you, I can't apologize to my business partner,
I want to work once again at the company,
but I can not think well...
Why do you have that?
I'm sorry.
I thought you would change your mind later.
I begged my boss and I have kept it to this day.
Can that really happen?
Yes.
Because I'm from the HR department.
Are you stupid?
I'm sorry.
That's enough.
Sakura, you're like this.
What? Why?
I mean,
just now, for the first time,
you called me "Sakura".
I guess so.
Thank you, Yuri-san.
Yuri.
No need to use "san".
Yuri will do.
Wow.
Thanks.
I am very happy to be friends with you.
Yuri.
If it's enough, would you like to take a photo?
Is that fine with you?
We're friends, aren't we?
Yes. Douki.
Back then,
if I didn't return,
maybe until now,
I would be still looking for a place that suits me.
I always think about that.
Sakura,
you're like the lighthouse of our colleagues.
You're like the Arctic star.
Since then.
Until now, you are still trapped in darkness,
I want to help you...
But I don't know what to do...
[ The one who seriously scolds you is your true friend. ]
Grandpa, thanks for sending the fax.
Thanks to you, I was able to have a real friend.
I want to quickly introduce her to you.
Wait a second. What are you doing, Yuri-chan?
Mom.
Dad.
I will change.
Not good.
Totally.
I'm sorry. I'm late.
Oh, Kitano.
Earlier, I heard something from the PR department.
Your fellow colleague didn't get married and went back to work again, huh?
Is that so, sir?
Thanks to you, she was so happy.
You've done a good thing.
Thank you so much.
Then, can you go to the company history compilation office for a while?
Have you forgotten?
About our furious valuable client?
because,
knowing the companies' history and businesses' past are essential.
Just think of it as research being ingrained for yourself,
so you have to study harder.
If everything has settled down, return to the HR department.
I understood, Sir.
[ Company history compilation office ]
Good morning.
I'll be working here starting today.
I'm Kitano Sakura.
