"What should I do, Yukie-san? What should I do?!"
"Could it be that I was too hasty?"
Ah...
Tomorrow... Sunday.
Do you... have... time?
- Huh? - I want to meet you and talk about something.
I under... stand.
"Sorry for texting you this late at night."
"Sorry for texting you so many times."
- "I can't sleep." - "I can't sleep".
Geez, these two!
Don't send me two same things at the same time!
Hmm...
"Anyway, please go to sleep!"
"Even though you can't, please sleep!"
"Good night!"
Ah... what should I do?
Texting me this early, which one is it?
It's the Sunday of the decisive battle.
Huh?
"I got a fever."
"38.3 degrees."
"Are you okay?"
"Perhaps it's because I was over-thinking."
Ah... she's cute, but also kinda foolish.
"Have you told Rihito-kun?"
"I've told him that I couldn't meet him today because I got a fever."
Then?
"He replied, 'Okay, I understand'."
Only that?!
- It's gone down a lot. - Ah, glad to hear that.
If you can eat some porridge, have some.
Okay, thank you.
I'm digging in. Oh~
Did anything happen?
Nope. Nothing in particular.
Oh, this umeboshi looks good.
I'm digging in~
I'm coming!
Seriously, Yae-chan.
No matter what happens, you won't lose your appetite.
That's why I recover quickly~
Ah, sorry! Perhaps it's for me.
I ordered a book for my work and it's delivered today.
- Yae-chan... - Huh?
What?
Is this... a thing called 'youth'?

G Senjou no Anata to Watashi
Episode 9. Don't Underestimate Femininity
Um... I...
If you think I'm senseless... I'll go home now.
You're right.
But it's okay.
How's your fever? Are you okay?
Ah, seems like the medicine is effective.
Isn't... it... kinda bothersome?
Well... it's bothersome in some ways but...
Yeah. I'm okay.
Well, I just wondering if it was true or not.
I wonder if it's because you don't want to meet me today...
...so you feigned illness.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay...
As you can see.
- I really caught a cold. - I'm sorry.
Well... why don't you sit down?
Ah...
Excuse me.
I mean... normally...
...you won't come to my house, right?
But you came to my house before. Twice.
Well, you're right, though.
- But the weight is... different. - Huh?
You know, women have lots of circumstances to consider.
I put no makeup...
I put no makeup and I look dried out because of the fever.
And my clothes are just like this.
And my hair is so messy.
When I look even worse than usual like this...
...normally...
...I won't meet you, right?
Sorry.
But...
...you don't look much different.
What's that? Are you praising me? Or making fun of me?
- Yaeko-san. - Yes?
Can I get straight to the point?
Okay.
What happens then?
"Rihito-kun comes to my house."
What happens after this?!
Now? Is it time for the climax now?
Anyone~! A live coverage, please!
- Um... - Um...
- Ah, you first. - Ah, okay.
Well...
I...
...when Mao-san told me...
...that I was wasting my time...
Mm-hmm.
I felt like being completely denied. Indeed...
...it was... tough.
But...
...even though I don't know why...
...you cried for me.
Even though I don't know why...
...you kept supporting me and told me not to give up.
Perhaps...
...I was saved by you, Yaeko-san.
When I was about to get drowned, I felt like you saved me at once.
I mean, when I look at you...
...I can be like, "Ah, whatever" on everything.
Do you mean it...
...in a good way?
Please be quiet.
Sorry.
You make me feel at ease.
You might not realize it, though.
Yaeko-san, you also saved Mao-san.
Did... I?
What I want to say is...
...I...
...I'm glad I played violin together with you.
What?
No, it's just...
To hear you say that to me, somehow...
...I'm happy.
Yeah.
- So... - What happened?
Huh?
That... wound?
Was it bleeding?
My violin's G-string snapped.
This morning, after I got your message saying that you got fever and we couldn't meed...
Somehow, I felt irritated... No.
I felt down.
I thought that...
...I could feel a bit better if I played violin. So I played it.
Seems like I put too much strength...
Ouch!
So I got this wound.
Could it be that...
...you like me?
- Huh? - Ah.
- Huh? - Ah...
Ah... Ah, ah...
Ah, um...
I like you.
WHOAAAAA!
Congratulations! Is it okay for me to say that?
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, I'm glad.
I really am~
- Is it something... to be glad about? - What are you saying?
Of course it's something to be glad about. I'm happy~
I always wanted Yaeko-chan and Rihito-kun to become like this! Always!
- But... - You'll be okay.
I'm sure it will go well. Right?
Yeah!
- It's okay if it's Yaeko-chan. - Tami-chan.
Ah, it's so good huh? That thing called 'love'~
It brings back memories.
M... Ma'am.
Ah!
They both did well.
They really did!
Hmm? What happened?
Ah... well, today, something good happened.
Um... Ah.
- What about drinking together? - No, thanks.
I have to get up early tomorrow. And it's also cold now.
Ah...
He's right.
It's indeed cold.
- So it's like that. - I see.
This 3rd position seems to be difficult.
Yeah, you're right.
You know, the new teacher's teaching pace is pretty fast.
What?
Well...
I just wonder... what's the difference now compared to before.
Ah...
Well...
Yeah... Right.
- Huh? - What?
No, it's just...
You said 'right' like that...
So now you say such thing?
Ah... not really.
Well... I guess it's like that too before.
Ah... I wish Yukie-san could come too!
You're right. She came to the lesson before.
So why doesn't she come here now?
Well, I'll skip for now.
It's soon after yesterday, right?
Today is important. You both should meet up without me.
But it's okay if you come too, right? Just like usual.
- If you come too... - What are you saying, Yaeko-chan?
- Huh? - Please treasure the time you can spend together with him!
You just got a new job and he's a 3rd year university student.
It might be difficult for you two to meet up so often!
But in reality, if we both get busy...
...I guess we might miss seeing each other.
Are you worried about that?
Well, I'm getting used of my new job already.
And I start to handle some projects on my own now.
Why do you suddenly act like someone who's capable in her work?
Originally, you're not the type who devote yourself to your job, right?
Yes, yes, you're right.
It's true that I don't have such ability.
I'm always panic at the site. And perhaps I will always be!
Instead, I feel at ease this way.
I will get worried...
...if you have spare time while I'm studying at university.
If we both are working hard on our job and studies at noon...
...we will reach a good understanding, right?
What's with your choice of words?
It's not cute.
- By the way, about us... - Hmm?
I wonder how we look like for others.
Huh?
Because, you know, to see an OL carrying violin...
...holding hands with a university student...
...who also carries violin...
Isn't it kinda weird?
No one cares about us.
Ah! Well, you're right.
I'm glad that your mother-in-law...
- ...doesn't need to be bedridden. - Thank you very much for your help.
My daughter wants to enter private school, so it will be tough if I don't work part-time.
- You have to work hard again, then. - Yeah.
I have to work hard too.
Welcome!
Notification for Interview Practice Meeting (Has to be accompanied by parents)
Practicing for the interview? I have to come too?
Next time, we must attend it together at the cram school.
Is it necessary for parents to come at the interview too?
Higano All-Girls School takes the interview seriously.
The way of greeting or the timing for sitting down.
It's all written here so please have a look.
Ah, then, seems like they are very concerned about the suits to wear too.
- Okay, okay, I understand. - Hey, read it now!
Ah... I'm sorry.
Good work today.
"Sorry, but I have to work on weekend."
"My weekend is full as well."
"I have a job-hunting explanatory meeting to attend."
"Finally it comes! The job-hunting! Show your power!"
"To suddenly have it on this weekend, I'm kinda uncertain about my prospects."
"Can we meet just for a very short time?"
- I'm very nervous! - It was really a pain in the ass.
Where to go next?
- Seems like the salary is so high here. - Seriously?
How full of youth and energy.
Ah...
Sorry...
- Hello~ - Sorry, I have another one after this.
- Have you had your lunch? - No, I haven't.
- When will you go back to work? - Well... at 3.
But... let's do it next time, shall we?
- Why? - Well, you know...
- Hello. - Thank you for the other day.
Ah, thank you for coming that time.
Are you his big sister?
Ah... ah...
She's my girlfriend, you know!
Ah...
You always spit out anything in your mind!
- It will ruin your interview. - Be careful, seriously.
Why don't you apologize now?
- It's scary! I really didn't know that. - You're always like that.
But it's worrying for a woman to work at sales, right?
Well... ah, but don't worry.
There are lots of workplaces where you can meet many female seniors.
If you don't fit as physiotherapist...
...you can consider the medical equipment manufacturer.
Nowadays, working at hospitals isn't the only option, huh?
Yeah.
Hey, after this, how about going to Shimada Healthcare or Medimex? What do you think?
- Sorry, somehow you had to go with the flow... - It's okay.
It's like an alumni visit so it was fun.
But you know, everyone...
- Looking closely, everyone is indeed so young. - Really?
It's like everything has just begun for you all. I'm jealous.
Hmm?
No, it's just...
You look different from usual.
Ah, well, sort of.
Hey, are you making fun of me?
I'm not.
But with this...
...surprisingly, my heart beats so fast.
Could it be that you wanted to show it to me?
- That's why, you intentionally... - What I want to show isn't myself.
I just thought that I wanted...
... to show Yaeko-san to everyone.
Huh?
This is not good. I'm really worried.
As a living thing, I'm worried.
7,000 yen... So expensive!
But it's necessary!
The moonlight too.
Anything will do.
Please! Give me more femininity!
Please descend femininity from above!
It must be going well for Rihito-kun.
Well, somehow I feel so too.
- Hey, hey, Rihito-kun. - Yes?
The one who performed with you at the concert before...
What was her name again? The one who ever came here before.
- Huh? Why? - Hmm...
Somehow, I like her a lot.
- She's a very very good person, right? - Ah, thank you.
- Huh? - He said 'thank you'.
See? He naturally thanked me because I praised his girlfriend.
Ah, no...
- So it's her! - Congrats, Rihito-kun.
- That's great! - Ah... thank you.
I'm happy for you.
I still don't fully understand it either.
Yeah.
Sorry.
You know, when you already have someone like that...
...I asked you to do something about Mao. Sorry.
Ah... about that, I also...
It's not something you should worry about.
I...
...must remember it for the rest of my life.
About what I did to her.
But Mao-san...
...surprisingly liked you a lot before, right?
- Huh? - But she couldn't...
...properly convey it to you.
Because of that, she parted with you.
I guess Mao-san knows that too.
I wonder if it's true.
I won't say anything about that.
Well.
Mao-san won't forgive you for the rest of her life.
She doesn't need to.
This is bad.
What's wrong with me?
This is a bit...
Yo. Huh?
- Hey, what's wrong? - Sorry, but I'm going home.
Why? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
There's something wrong with my hair and clothes. So I'm going home.
- How come there's something wrong with your clothes? - Huh?
- You're laughing! - No, no.
Because, somehow...
- Don't laugh! I'm going home! - It's okay! You don't need to get changed!
- It's interesting. - Don't say that!
Well, whatever you wear, you won't look much different.
- Don't say that! - Hey, it's okay!
So?
Why are we here again?
Well, it's a safe haven.
You know, perhaps you're too concerned about this.
But as much as possible, let's just do this like usual.
Usual?
Like what?
What do you think? If we go out from here, we can do that, right?
Ah, like watching movies?
Or, are you hungry? Yaeko-san, do you prefer drinking?
To be like usual...
Does it mean to act like how we used to?
No... It's no good to act like how we used to, right?
I mean, don't say 'You're too concerned about this'!
What I'm concerned about is you!
You're 8 years younger than me.
You're still a university student.
Though you have a strangely gloomy face, if I look closely, it's super handsome.
Your skin is also smooth.
This guy...
To have this kind of guy as my boyfriend... is it possible?
Is it really possible?
Huh? Wait. Am I okay?
I mean, it's okay to call you my boyfriend, right?
Yeah.
- Yes? - That's my intention.
Huh? Huh?
- Huh? Did I say it out loud? - Yeah.
- From what? - From 'Is it really possible?', I guess.
Oh, seriously.
There's no way I'll get bored when I'm with you, Yaeko-san.
Ah... well, glad to know that.
So? What should we do after this?
Huh? After this? From now on, well...
It's, of course...
We should take on various kinds of steps forward...
I mean RIGHT after this.
Ah...
Somehow... my emotion can't stand it anymore.
I think we need to do something around here.
It's only about that ceiling then. Okay.
I will tell the contractor to fix it. Sorry for the trouble.
- Sorry for my absurd request. - No, it's okay.
- Excuse me, about the interview... - Ah, I'm sorry.
- I have to interview people for part-time job here. - Ah.
Sorry to make you wait. Come in.
Kogure-san.
Huh?
- Sorry to make you wait. - Thank you very much.
- Sorry I made you wait. - It's okay.
- Ah, do you still have some works to do? - Well, it's done for today.
- How was the interview? - Ah, I'm not sure.
This is my first time trying to get part-time job like this.
- You'd been doing only violin before. - But...
...I wanted to try this once.
A job where I can use my hands.
Ah, by the way.
Thank you very much for the other day.
The other day?
Um... your concert before.
For many times over...
For many times over, the music she made me encounter...
...will save me.
It was recorded?
Rihito-kun did?
Huh? You don't know about that?
Ah... well.
I see.
So he did such things...
Ah, by the way.
You two are dating now, right? Ah, are you okay?
Huh? Why do you know?
I heard it from Shono-san.
Seems like Shono-san heard it from Kitagawa-san.
- Ah, geez... Yukie-san... - But that's great, right?
I think you both are well-matched.
I guess I had said that since the beginning.
- Ah... - The 8 years difference.
Please go beyond it, okay?
Did... anything happen?
No, no, no...
I'm happy.
If so...
I'm too happy...
- ...that it hurts. - Huh?
Because...
...it means that after this he won't get a chance...
...to date someone else, right?
But perhaps he himself...
...doesn't realize it at all.
Ah.
Geez~
- I resent you, Mao-sensei. - Huh?
Because between the age of 15 and 20...
...is an important growth period for him, even in love too.
The sin of freezing that period is serious, Mao-san.
Hmm.
But we can also say that thanks to such sterile condition...
...now he's dating you, Kogure-san.
Am I wrong?
I'm sorry.
But I'm glad I met you.
As I thought, it made me feel a bit lonely.
Because I used to meet you once a week for one year and a half before.
That class is going to disappear too.
Shono-san said that the class will be relocated.
What?
Have you seen the e-mail? I received it just now.
I just saw it. I got it while I was at work so I didn't realize it.
It's troublesome, right? Morishima Station is quite far from here.
Well, I'm thinking of continuing there even though it's relocated.
I guess it's impossible for me.
- Huh? - Ah, nothing.
Somehow... many things have changed, right?
I was saved by this place.
I'm sorry I'm late!
Huh?
You've come home?
- What are you eating? - Udon.
No way. You add no ingredients there, right?
If you waited for a little longer...
Wait, I brought some croquette from my workplace.
I will cook some vegetables too now.
You don't need to.
Adding croquette won't change it much, anyway.
Won't change it much...?
Well, it will be tiring for you to cook now, right?
- Thank you for the meal. - Is it enough for you?
Yeah, it's okay.
What?
It seems to be tough for you everyday, so I just want to help.
Ah... I know that.
I guess you did really well.
About Tami's exam.
And also about Mom.
But you don't need to do everything perfectly, right?
Huh?
It's a bit...
...exhausting to see you like that.
Ah, why is it...
Becoming like this...
...it's exhausting now.
I met Mao-sensei today.
She came to an interview for part-time job.
Huh? Really? How was she? Is she doing fine?
Yeah, sort of.
Seems like she's not forcing herself.
Ah, and I'm surprised about the tuner.
Hmm?
Well, so Mao-sensei listened to it.
Huh? Why?
- You won't normally do this... - I want to see your face.
Can't I?
No, it's okay.
So, we are here again.
Well, somehow it's calming here.
- I wonder why. - Well...
Because we mostly spend our time together here. All the time.
Hmm?
It's just... your face.
Huh?
- Ah, you're indeed young. - Huh? What?
It's gone. There's even no trace of it.
About what?
The scar caused by your violin's G-string.
Ah... ah...
That's...
Huh?
Hmm?
Why...
Why... did you do it first...
- Because you won't do it. - Huh?
Normally, it's something you do spontaneously, right?
Ah...
- Ah, I can't! - Huh?
- This is no good. - Huh? Wait... what's wrong?
- It's painful. - Huh?
I think about various things and it's painful.
Huh? Wait... what?
Please explain it so I can understand.
What about going back to the violin?
Sorry?
If there's no violin...
...it's painful.
That's why, please explain it so I can understand!
I'm afraid...
...of what comes next...
...after 'I like you'.
Perhaps...
...I will soon ask you...
...for what should come next after 'I like you'.
But by doing that, I would be asking too much.
Because... because you are...
...someone whose future has just begun now.
It's so fun to be together.
Isn't it enough?
That's because...
...we had violin before.
If we had violin with us...
...we could get along together as two people who both love violin.
We could think of each other...
...as someone who can make us feel at ease.
We could be like that.
But...
...when we don't have violin with us...
...we would just become a university student who starts job-hunting...
...and a nearly-30 OL whose engagement...
...got broken off one and a half year ago.
What's that?
What? What the heck?
Someone whose future has just begun?
If that's why you think it won't work for us...
...I can't do anything to change that, right?
Why don't you answer it?
- Huh? It's from Tami-chan. - Huh?
Hello, Tami-chan? What's wrong?
Ah, I'm sorry to call you in all of sudden.
It's okay. What happened?
Actually, Mom ran away from home.
What? Ran away from home?
- Yukie-san did? - What?
Ah, well, I think she will be back soon, though.
I just wonder if perhaps, she's with Yaeko-chan now.
"I just want to be alone for a while, sorry. Please take care of Tami and Mom."
Sorry, but she's not with me.
Are you okay? If you want, I can help searching for her...
It's okay.
I don't think this is something serious.
Sorry to bother you.
It's okay.
I'll try to contact her too.
It's the answering machine.
Hello, Yukie-san?
Tami-chan just called me.
Where are you now?
If you listen to this message...
"Both of you, sorry to make you worried."
"Many things are just gradually piling up."
"So I want to be alone for a while."
"It's just to let out stress."
"I've told Tami."
"I'll stay at an internet cafe near the east entrance tonight."
"I want to try going to such place once."
"I've told her I'll go home tomorrow, so don't worry."
"Are you okay?"
"I am, I am!"
"I just want to make them understand how it feels to get troubled."
"I'll become a bad person just this one night."
"I'm looking forward to be alone tonight~"
Well...
...first, let's put it on hold.
Huh?
About us. Let's put it on hold for now.
Ah... okay.
- Let's go then. - Hmm?
- Where to? - What?
- Huh? - To Yukie-san's place!
Huh? But, you know...
...she said she wanted to be alone.
- That part of you! - Sorry?
Well... You don't understand, right?
But I guess it will be more absurd if you say you understand.
What are you talking about?
Ah, that thing called a woman's mind, huh?
You're right. It's troublesome, right?
But when a woman says that she wants to be alone...
...she actually wants someone to come to her.
When she says that she's okay...
...it means that she's completely not okay.
We are like that, you know.
- Sorry for that. - Why do you apologize?
But of course we also have power to work hard...
...and to make efforts to look beautiful.
In fact, we are working hard. I'm working hard.
Hey, didn't you say we should put it on hold?
But it's just the same as thinking that we are no good.
There's a minus power which makes us hit ourselves hard.
Ah... so femininity can lead to negative direction too.
- I just understood that. - No, I don't understand at all.
It's okay if you can't understand.
I don't understand either.
But I guess everyone...
...is trying to fight that hopeless side they have.
It has nothing to do with age or so.
That's why...
...now I...
...want to go to Yukie-san's place.
We have to go, then.
Yeah.
Either we are young or not...
...it has nothing to do with this.
We have something we hide in our hearts.
Don't underestimate...
...femininity.
