Once you enter the door, the toilet is right on the left.
- Right. - Is that so?
Your job is...
Really?
A manga artist.
Haruaki-san, you're a manga artist, right??
Seriously?
What's going on?
Master, come join us. This is really accurate.
- No, I'm fine. - Just come here!
I first met Junichi...
...at 'MIMI'.
[MIMI BAR]
JUNICHI
TAMAKI JUNICHI
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
Hello.
Hi.
[Hey, say something!]
[What's going on?]
[Are you angry?]
Shall we go?
Tamaki,
do you prefer dogs or cats?
That's so out of the blue.
Which one?
Cats.
Glad to hear that.
Why is it?
The assistant who helps me during the day,
this guy,
he changed the PC's desktop wallpaper with a picture of his own puppy.
Um... what was it called?
It's an ugly dog with an upturned nose.
A Pug?
I'm not sure, maybe it is.
When I told him to stop doing that because the computer is also used by others,
his face looked really sad.
I wonder why people who like dogs are so troublesome.
You think a cat person would be different?
Well, as for cats...
Aren't they more stable? Both the cats and their owners.
I don't really get it.
Well...
I'm glad that you prefer cats, Tamaki.
Why?
Why do you ask?
We have a mutual understanding.
Are you a married couple?
Don't ask such a thing!
He's our new bartender, Junichi.
Why?
What?
Why did you ask if we're a married couple?
Because you're always together.
Shush!
How old are you?
24 years old.
You're so young.
Kozue will be making roast beef today.
Is that so?
You're coming, right?
Yes.
Then, let's do our work quietly today.
Let's do that.
Are you all right?
What do you mean?
Welcome home, Haru-chan!
Onee-chan!
Did you get a haircut?
- No. - What?
- Excuse me. - Please come in!
Over here.
They got slightly burned. You'll probably like it.
Over there?
This is the sauce.
Maybe you would find the taste a bit bland, Haru-chan.
Thanks.
I used a different recipe for this dish...
It's good!
Really?
Make this again next week.
- Onee-chan, do you think something is lacking? - No.
I just don't know what to eat first.
Don't you like olives? Here.
I bought these in the basement of a department store.
Thanks.
They were imported from Italy and sold only once a month.
You like olives?
I like them.
"I like them."
When she said that, it was pretty cool, right?
Oh no! I forgot to bring the Napa wine.
It's unusual for Haru-chan to receive such a thing from his company.
If not now, when will we drink it?
But, I'm so relieved that my sister could help you with your work.
You can't find a substitute for a mother with a child so easily.
You know,
every time I look for an assistant with an excellent skill,
I always end up with female candidates. That's weird.
There are really a lot of strong women around me.
The last sentence is quite disappointing.
You're right.
Are you making fun of me?
I am not!
Haru-chan has a job,
so, we could also buy these delicious olives,
and I have also found my true calling..
"True calling"?
As a housewife.
Ah, right!
This was delivered today.
May I open it?
Yes.
Ta-da!
I want to see it.
Here you go, Sensei.
Thank you, ma'am.
Woah! This month is amazing!
Every month is always amazing. Right?
Onee-chan, where is your drawing?
I don't remember such details.
Well, I can never do this kind of work.
I can never do it.
I'm glad I can't draw...
It took a lot of practices.
Practices.
You're leaving already?
You should just stay the night.
I have to go to work tomorrow.
I can lend you my clothes.
I'm fine. My house is near anyway.
I'll prepare the car.
But you're drinking.
She's right.
I'll call taxi for you.
Thank you.
I was thinking about 'MIMI' for some reason..
In the eyes of that person who breaks the ice like a kid on a summer vacation,
I wonder how I look like...
An assistant director? Really?
Really?
Master, come join us! This is really accurate!
I'm fine.
Just come here!
Have I told you?
That I like these.
No.
Then, how do you know?
Do you like them?
Why?
"Why"?
Hey, you're Junichi-kun, right?
It's your turn.
Come here.
Seriously?
The youngster is coming.
Do you have any question?
Question?
Just ask anything.
I'm planning to abandon this one woman,
can I successfully do it?
Draw the card.
This card means you can't abandon that woman.
Well, it can also means a lot of things, but,
in my opinion, didn't you already abandon the woman a long time ago?
What's going on, Jun-chan?
Yes, what's the matter?
Are you home right now?
No, I'm outside.
Is Haru-chan there?
No, I left the office first.
I see.
By the way, would you like to go to the amusement park tomorrow?
I just got two ticket coupons.
let's go, we rarely have the chance to go together.
Here are the tickets.
Thank you very much. I accept your tickets.
Are these the ticket coupons?
Right.
Could it go any faster?
If it turns any faster than this, I'll get sick.
It has changed a lot, hasn't it?
Do you remember the last time we came here?
Of course not.
I still remember it.
I was 12 years old.
Really?
It was your birthday, Onee-chan!
But you said you didn't want to go.
You wanted to buy new clothes instead.
Did I?
I'm sorry 'bout that.
It's okay.
That means, you've grown up really well.
"Well", huh?
After eating a lot of popcorn, you looked like you wanted to vomit when we were riding the 'Coffee Cup'.
Who?
You did!
You remember such a thing really well.
I seem to have only a good ability to remember things.
Look.
Has it always been that small?
Let's ride that!
If you want to ride the Ferris wheel, that means you're already an adult.
Let's just go!
There's a dog over there!
Can a dog come inside too?
That dog...
...looks like Kotetsu.
Really?
Kotetsu was a bit darker...
Speaking of that dog,
I said that I found him in front of our house,
but I lied.
There was this one boy in my class,
he wanted to give him to me.
His family couldn't keep him any longer.
Why did you lie like that?
Onee-chan...
You know,
I...
...had an affair.
With whom?
With a courier guy.
Which courier company is that?
The slogan of this company is : "A Fresh Fish Package Recommended by Fishermen."
But, it was 3 times only.
What do you want me to do after telling me that?
Having sex with her is so boring.
I'm talking about your sister.
Stop it.
She is frigid.
- Do you know what frigid is? - Stop!
She always pretends to reach orgasm...
I said STOP!
Even you are angry.
You should stop drinking.
Then, I'm leaving.
Hey, will you be all right?
I'm all right.
I'll walk you to the taxi stand.
This is not the way to the taxi stand.
You're wrong!
Hey.
So heavy!
What's the matter?
It's an aftereffect.
An aftereffect?
I was pushed by a woman from an apartment window a long time ago.
What?
From which floor?
4th floor.
Such an idiot.
Who? Me? That woman?
Both of you.
Are you okay?
Is this clean?
It's better than nothing.
You do this kind of thing quite often, don't you?
Yeah.
Do you have a sibling?
A sister.
12 years older than me.
Do you like her?
She's having an affair.
It has nothing to do with that.
Well, yeah.
Long time ago,
on my birthday,
I went to the amusement park with my sister and father.
When we stopped by at the souvenir shop to buy lots of things before going home,
my sister said, "You bought too many things just because it's your birthday! I feel sorry for Dad!"
Then, when I was thinking to buy fewer things,
my dad...
My dad came to me,
and whispered,
"She's the one who chose the most expensive souvenirs. Don't worry."
I can't do it like her.
I always take everything seriously.
What are you talking about?
Yes! Exactly like that!
I'm an idiot, aren't I?
Bye.
That was the last time I saw Junichi.
I went to the bar only once after that...
He had quit working there...
Onee-chan!
Long time no see.
What are you doing?
I just think this is so pretty.
This one is pretty.
- This one. - You're right.
Haru-chan,
he's been really amazing lately...
What do you mean?
He made another serial story and hired two assistants.
Sometimes, they also come over to eat with us.
A young man and woman.
When those 3 get together, it feels like a sports club training camp.
Is that so?
What about you?
You won't do that anymore?
Do what? Being an assistant?
Right.
I'm already busy with work and stuff, so...
I see.
It's all right now.
I won't seduce young men anymore.
You know,
I had sex with a bartender.
What are you talking about?
At a shrine...
What do you mean?
I was so drunk, and the ground seemed to spin under my feet.
He said he wanted to walk me to the taxi stand,
but he took me to a shrine before I knew it.
What a story!
It's weird, isn't it?
Too weird.
It is weird.
Onee-chan.
Let's go eat tempura next week.
Okay.
Look at the time!
I need to go.
It's okay. It's my treat.
Thanks.
I'll call you later.
It's been 3 years since then...
Even now,
I'm still waiting for a call from Kozue.
