FM J East.
Shimada's face was red with anger and shouted, "We'll fight outside!"
But it was raining heavily.
Did you go out?
Of course I didn't.
This guy was so nasty.
He made Shimada wait in the downpour and feigned ignorance.
Weren't you horrible?
I lost an important customer because of that.
Don't blame me for that.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Change them into a 500 yen coin.
- Again? - Hurry up!
- There's no 500 yen coin. - Give me 100 yen coins, then.
- Go change them yourself. - Just do it now.
No. You can put up to 50 coins into the ATM machine.
I was the one who told you that.
Mitsuru is hard to deal with.
I've given up.
There you go.
When did he close his coffee shop?
It was six years ago.
Your son ran a coffee shop?
He ran an authentic coffee shop.
He was too fussy.
I went there in my working clothes, he openly gave me an disgusted look.
But I had no idea it'd be so unpopular.
Why do you say it so happily?
It didn't last for half a year.
It lasted for half a year. For nine months.
Is he not going to take over your coffee shop?
He said he'd never do that.
Why won't he?
Mitsuru has more pride than anyone else.
"Input the amount of money"
"Enter
Thank you.
He said the coffee we serve wasn't real.
It's good for coffee that isn't real.
I think Mrs Kishibe's coffee tastes better too.
Thank you.
But when I have coffee made by my son,
I do think it's different.
Does he make you coffee?
Just a cup every morning.
Wow, I had no idea.
But I know that.
He does nothing besides that though.
He is really hopeless.
"Chapter One Sukiyaki And Bicycle"
Even if the message is short, we, Machine Guns,
will try to give you advice and find a way to solve your problem.
- We'll get it done. - Yeah.
The first message is from JK In Love.
" Am in love with someone..."
Harumi?
"He's been living in Australia for--"
I'm going to your nan's now, will you come?
I bought some tasty meat for Sukiyaki.
No.
I bought it because I thought you'd like it.
What will you have for supper?
I'll have the leftover from lunch.
Your teacher called to ask if you can go to school next week or not.
He wants to meet and have a chat...
because to help you, he has to know the reason you stay home.
Are you listening?
Ask your dad yourself if you'll take the next week off too.
I won't call the school again.
"Closed"
Will two green onions be enough?
- Mum, where's the sugar? - The shelf there.
I've looked, but there's none.
Can I help?
Get some plates or chopsticks. There's a lot you can do.
The plates...
Second right shelf from the top.
You've been here before, SO No need to hold back,
and just offer help.
Don't be so harsh.
It's my fault. I scratched the car at the carpark.
Did you? The space is narrow if you aren't used to it.
That's why I said I would drive.
Oh, no! I forgot to get the eggs.
- Should I bring them? - It's okay, thanks.
Plates...
What are you doing? They're right in front of you.
- We'll use these? - What's wrong with them?
You said plates, so I thought they'd be shallower.
We're going to have Sukiyaki,
- you want me to make more? - That's not what I'm saying.
I'm home.
Go tell Mitsuru supper will be ready soon.
Okay.
Good evening.
Oh, it's been a while.
Supper is ready.
Kouii, have you lost weight?
People often ask if I've lost weight lately,
but I've gained five kilograms in six months.
I got fat, but people think I'm thinner. Scary, right?
I wonder what they'd say if you had actually lost weight.
But we'll have Sukiyaki today, so I'll eat a lot.
What?
What? Sukiyaki?
Yeah.
Ayako splurged and bought some fine Yonezawa Beef.
Impossible.
- You don't like Yonezawa Beef? - I don't like Sukiyaki.
I had no idea that someone could hate Sukiyaki.
It's the wrong way to have beef.
- Sukiyaki is wrong? - Don't you think?
I've never thought about it.
Think calmly, then.
If you have the best marbled beef and you can choose freely from
having it as Sukiyaki, grilled or shabu-shabu,
would you choose Sukiyaki?
It depends on my body's condition that day.
Your condition, the weather and global situation don't matter.
It's anything but Sukiyaki.
It's a matter of taste, right?
Fine quality material shouldn't be messed with.
Have you seen a gorgeous lady wearing heavy makeup?
- Just once, in Nagoya. - What did you think?
- It was a waste. - Yes.
It's the same thing. Marbled meat needs no needless decoration.
You stew the meat in pitch black sauce and serve it with raw egg.
Raw egg...
What are you doing?
Hurry up and come downstairs.
You're picking on me?
About what?
You know I hate Sukiyaki, so you make it, right?
How do I know that?
How can you not know?
I snap at mum every time she makes it,
you've seen it many times.
That was decades ago.
Sorry, Mitsuru, I totally forgot that you hate it.
Why do you tell such an obvious lie?
I didn't lie.
You said nothing because you wanted to have it.
I really have forgotten.
In that case, you'd better go see a doctor.
You've been very forgetful lately.
True. I forgot the eggs at the coffee shop just now too.
Harumi loves Sukiyaki, so I thought she'd come if I made it.
Did Harumi come?
She didn't.
What?
Isn't it even more wrong?
You don't have to make Sukiyaki if she isn't here.
But I bought the kind of beef for Sukiyaki.
Will you be punished if you use the meat to make something else?
I said I didn't know you hate Sukiyaki so much.
You should know that Harumi can't be tempted by food easily, right?
You're her mum, after all.
If you don't want to eat it so much, then don't eat it.
Calm down. Why don't you grill the beef just for Mitsuru?
I appreciate that.
What? I bought the beef!
Listen, you'll just grill the portion I'll have as Sukiyaki.
- No. I won't let you. - Ayako.
If you want to have grilled meat so much, buy it yourself.
What've we been doing just now, then?
It's barely edible. The beef's quality is good to begin with.
It's how you prepare...
Shut up and eat!
Mitsuru,
do you not add raw egg to your beef rice bowl too?
Well, he gets angry if there's no raw egg in his beef rice bowl.
You actually like Sukiyaki, then?
Kouj), adding raw egg Yo beef rice bow!
and dipping Sukiyaki beef in raw egg are totally different.
- Are they? - No need to talk needlessly.
This guy only wants to talk to any random person.
I'm offended.
Mum, would you like some beer?
No, I haven't finished mine. Don't mind me, keep eating.
Thank you.
Did you lose weight after you came last time?
I actually put on weight. I gained five kilograms in six months.
Did you? You don't seem to have at all.
What are you here for today?
You didn't come to our home just to have supper, right?
I want to talk to you about something.
- What? - We want to rebuild our house.
- You have so much money? - Frankly, just barely.
But now is the only time for us to rebuild it.
Even we can't afford to do so, right?
It's because you don't have a job!
Ayako, calm down. Don't shout.
We aren't here to borrow money.
We'll manage to get enough money.
You don't need mum's or my permission.
So in the three months until our house is rebuilt,
we want you to let our family stay here.
We have talked to mum about this over the phone before,
but we thought we should meet and talk to you face to face.
I've already said yes, now it only depends on how you think.
No, of course.
I politely refuse.
Why?
Why? Tell me the reason.
- You don't know? - That's why I ask.
You want my consent, yet you make me Sukiyaki?
- What? - That's why?
I told you, I didn't know you hate it.
I'm your brother, isn't it awful of you?
Say what food I hate, then.
Century egg, Jew's ear, salt-pickled sea squirt.
Sorry, after I overcame my dislike for salt-pickled sea squirt,
it's become my favourite.
Think about our situations, please.
You have to ask for my opinion and I'll give you one.
Let's say you have to negotiate with a client at work.
You'd check carefully what he likes to decide what gift you'd buy him.
Giving your client what he hates
is the last thing you should do in the world of business.
Don't talk about business, NEET!
- Ayako. - It's okay, mum,
I hit a nerve and she's upset.
I'm not upset!
In that case, Mitsuru, if today's supper wasn't Sukiyaki,
and we made shabu-shabu, you'd have said yes?
- Sure. - Don't lie.
- It's true. - You'd have found fault
and said no, even if it wasn't Sukiyaki.
Why do you assume?
Why aren't you happy unless things go the way you like?
I was an idiot to have talked to you.
It'll cost a lot, but we'll stay at a hotel, so just forget it.
Wait, Ayako...
You got the wrong idea.
You weren't wrong to talk to me.
It's the way you talk--
Just shut up!
I feel guilty about making Sukiyaki too.
Why do you apologise, mum?
I really forgot that Mitsuru hated Sukiyaki,
so I'll do what you say and go see a doctor...
I was joking, don't take it seriously.
So I hope you will be cooperative about letting them stay here.
Yeah? Okay?
Please help us.
Then...
Let's say that we can grill the rest of the meat...
You can just have them. He can, right, Ayako?
Our house has no room for three people to stay in the first place.
We'll manage if we tidy up
the things stored in Ayako's old room and your dad's room.
Kouji, you don't want to live in your wife's parent's home, right?
I'm totally okay with that.
I can sleep wherever I am.
What about Harumi, then?
She'll have her university entrance exam soon,
I feel sorry for her if the environment suddenly changes.
Mum didn't tell you?
I haven't told him.
What happened?
She hasn't been to school since October.
We don't know the reason, but she insisted that she didn't want to go.
I had told Ayako before
that the house's layout isn't very suitable for raising a child.
- Feng Shui? - It's too late to say that now.
I wish you had told me before I bought the house.
Well...
I had a feeling this would happen someday though.
You had a hunch that Harumi would refuse to go to school?
She came to stay here during summer vacation, right?
We talked about various things at that time.
What things?
She's got worries that she can't tell her parents.
She was born as Harumi Kataoka,
but you got divorced when she was in nursery school.
Then she became Harumi Kishibe.
Then, you married Kouiji,
and she's been Harumi Akiba since middle school.
I mean, the name is Harumi Akiba!
Autumn leaves and the sea in spring?
I surely would've become a delinquent.
Don't say that. It's a lovely name.
Rather, I'm surprised that she hasn't caused any big problem
and has grown to be an honest person.
It's all my fault.
No, it isn't.
It is my fault.
- I didn't say it was your fault. - Well...
I'm responsible for it.
If you ask me whether I'm doing a decent job as her new father,
- I am not at all. - That's true.
Harumi doesn't know what attitude she should take towards you too.
Kouji, maybe you should've acted more like her father.
- Impossible. - Why?
When we just got married,
he lectured her like a father, then she ignored him for six months.
Yeah.
Both being pushy and keeping 3 distance didn't work.
Well, I guess you can only be patient
and approach her slowly.
Maybe as mum says, the house's layout isn't good.
Or maybe she was pushed around by you, Ayako.
Kouii, her relationship with you too...
Coming.
- Who would come so late? - The courier.
I bought winter clothes online.
They were delivered during the day.
Who could it be, then?
Yes?
Harumi!
There you go. Sit down.
It took 30 minutes to cycle here, right?
I got lost at the end, so it was 45.
You must be tired, then.
I would've picked you up by car if you called.
Have you had supper?
Have as much as you want.
We made the Sukiyaki for you.
Don't tell me you want to have it so desperately that you came here.
Got a problem?
You're so weird. Do your classmates think you're a weirdo?
- Mitsuru. - What do you mean?
You like Sukiyaki, so there's something wrong with you.
Mitsuru hates Sukiyaki.
You are the weird one.
Think about this calmly.
If you have the marbled beef and you can choose freely,
would you have it as Sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, or grilled?
- Your question isn't right. - Why?
Don't compare Sukiyaki with shabu-shabu and grilled meat.
Why? They are all meat dishes.
It's too shallow to categorise Sukiyaki as a meat dish.
Well said.
Meat seems to be Sukiyaki's main ingredient,
but it's in the background.
You savour the tofu and konjac that absorbed the essence of meat.
Yes! Harumi, you are right.
- It's just quibble. - Look who's talking.
But it obviously is a meat dish!
Yeah, you had eight pieces of meat.
- What? - I didn't have that much.
You did. I counted, so it can't be wrong.
Do you know how much a chunk of beef costs?
I can't have so much if I did.
Really, who do you think you are?
But you are here today to show me and mum how sincere you are,
you don't get to complain like that, do you?
Why should she show sincerity?
Because your family wants to stay at our home.
What are you talking about?
What?
You didn't tell Harumi?
Your house will be rebuilt soon,
so they're here to ask us to let you stay here for three months.
Have you decided that?
Don't worry, we haven't yet.
It's just one of the options.
We can also stay at a hotel or rent a flat. There are many choices.
I prefer staying here, rather than a hotel or a flat.
Why?
You have to travel further to school and cram school. Is it okay?
Yeah.
I like dishes that nan makes.
I'll do my best to make you yummy food every day.
What do you say, Mitsuru?
What? What do I say?
I didn't say I was against the idea.
Yes, you did!
Mitsuru, this is a bit forced.
I only say the way Ayako talked to me was horrible,
I didn't say I refuse to let you stay here.
Okay, we can drop this now.
Hurry up and eat, or we can't finish it with udon noodles.
- There is udon? - Of course.
How do we take Harumi's bicycle home?
Just put it here.
I need it tomorrow, so I'll ride it home.
No, it's too late at night.
- I'll ride it home, then. - What?
Yes?
I had some beer, who is going to drive?
That's right.
Mitsuru, ride the bicycle and see her home.
- Good idea! - Why me?
You have nothing else to do.
What?
If I have to see her home, you have to pay.
You're ridiculous!
Who's the ridiculous one?
Forget about the charge, pay me medical expenses.
Pay me money for the beef first.
Hurry up and eat the rest of the dish.
I want to finish it with udon.
Oh, I stuffed myself!
I've heard.
What?
You've been skipping school?
Something bad happened?
Mitsuru, you never do anything you don't like, do you?
What?
Why did you have Sukiyaki tonight, then?
You actually don't hate it that much?
If I must say, I did it for you.
What do you mean?
To set you a good example for life.
I've been living my life the way I like,
but even I put up with a dish I hate and ate it.
You don't make sense.
I don't know what happened,
but just put up with it and go to school.
I really don't want to.
I feel you, I didn't want to have Sukiyaki at all either.
It's a different matter.
Mine is much more serious.
Tell absolutely nobody.
It was the first time I had Sukiyaki in 15 years,
but it was better than I expected.
If you don't count grilled meat and shabu-shabu,
surprisingly, it's my favourite.
Surprising, isn't it?
I can't believe you!
Mum will be outraged if she knows.
So make sure you don't tell her.
Well, we'll see.
You still don't know how scary Ayako is when she's seriously angry.
I do. I've seen various hellish situations.
Be nicer to Kouji.
My head knows that.
Have I got some kind of disease?
Why?
It looks absolutely delicious if I add tofu and Shirataki noodles.
You are sick.
It's quite serious too.
I should've had another helping of udon noodles.
"Surgeon Jackal"
You'll throw away all the books in the corridor?
Wake up and help us a bit.
What? Why should I help you?
We've had lunch already.
What about my lunch?
There's a lunchbox in the kitchen.
Take the paper bags downstairs with you. We'll throw them away.
Put them in front of the storage room.
Oh, what a hassle!
It brings back memories! Look!
When Mitsuru saw this...
- He'd cry. - He always cried loudly.
"Mitsuru Coffee"
"Chapter Two Sushi And Carton Boxes"
Pour me some, please.
Are you going out?
Second-hand bookshop. Will you come?
- Is it nearby? - Yeah.
A five-minute walk away.
You'll go to a second-hand bookshop? May I go with you?
Yeah, of course.
Your father had many books and they told me to throw them away.
Harumi, you'll come too, right?
I think I'll pass.
What? Why?
I have to do cram school's homework.
I think you don't have to force yourself to make Harumi like you.
I didn't mean to do that.
You try to curry favour with her, but it makes her hate you.
- She really hates me? - No, she doesn't.
It's a lie, isn't it?
Sorry, I just lied in the spur of the moment.
It hurts if your family member hates you.
Kouji, you are too nice.
Your attitude towards Ayako and Harumi should be stronger.
I know I can't win even if I face them properly.
Let's fight alongside each other, then.
Yes?
I'll be totally on your side during the three months you stay at ours.
I won't let them do whatever they want.
It's reassuring.
Let's talk Ayako down
and prove to Harumi that she is wrong.
Mitsuru, I'm counting on you!
Let's help each other.
"Middle School English Vocabulary 1800"
Have you seen Mitsuru?
He went to a second-hand bookshop.
Mr Makimoto's shop?
What's the matter?
I was going to ask him to drive me to the DIY shop.
Mitsuru hasn't got a smartphone?
He has an old mobile phone,
but he doesn't carry it with him because nobody calls.
Why don't you call Kouiji?
Is Kouji with him?
He went with Mitsuru to throw away grandpa's books.
What's the matter?
You still don't call Kouji "dad,” do you?
It's been so long, why bother?
But I think he has been waiting.
I can't call him that all the more if you say that.
"Harumin, is it my fault that you haven't been going to school?"
"Makimoto Second-Hand Bookshop”
I had no idea Iwao had such good taste.
It is a real shame
that I didn't have many chances to talk to him when he was alive.
But if Fusae lets go of her late husband's books now,
maybe she has a change of mind?
Not just because she simply wants to tidy up the room?
I don't think she did it so light-heartedly.
She must've made up her mind to move on and get rid of her regrets,
to prepare the room to accept a new encounter.
Will you stop chatting and do the valuation quickly?
Why don't you find a job quickly too?
- It's none of your business. - Is it really?
Kouiji, I found some unusual books over there.
Don't you want to make life easier for Fusae?
Hey! Are you listening?
Mum, you spoil Mitsuru too much.
No, I don't.
It's your fault that Mitsuru hasn't got a job.
Why is this my fault?
"If Mitsuru is jobless when he's over 30,
I'll kick him out and make him find a job," that's what you said.
I remember that.
But I said that when your dad was still healthy.
Yes, but...
After your dad passed away,
Mitsuru has been the one supporting me by my side.
Support you? What did he do?
He makes me good coffee every morning.
But that's all, right?
He drives me to your dad's grave on the anniversary of his death,
he's really helped a lot.
You said he had helped, but you gave him pocket money, right?
No, I didn't.
Harumi said she saw it when we went to dad's grave.
It wasn't pocket money.
I only gave him back what he paid for the flowers and petrol.
Did you get the change, then? Did he show you the receipts?
It isn't a company, there's no need to be so precise.
He survives by saving coins like that.
Let him do so, then.
It's fine now. You can still work and Mitsuru is only 31,
but what if he continues to live like this for 10, 20 years?
I can't bear to see that.
If you say that, do it yourself, then.
Do what?
During your stay here,
try kicking Mitsuru out and find him a job.
It's been my plan the whole time.
Oh, is it? You'll know how hard it is after you try.
The books and comic books he carried downstairs
and took to the used bookshop have become Mitsuru's pocket money.
Ayako, do be careful.
Having beer after working is fantastic!
Should we call Ayako and tell her that we're having a drink?
- No need to. - But...
If she complains,
I'll say that I made you come after you said no many times.
Will you emphasise that I said no many times?
Of course I will.
Kouji, do you remember the time you came to our bar?
I really had been here?
I thought it looked familiar the moment I entered your bar.
You had been here just once five years ago with Ayako.
What?
Did Ayako come here often to have a drink?
She hasn't been here at all lately,
but she used to bring leaflets of your concerts, very often.
Koyuki plays bass guitar in her band.
Wow! What bass do you use?
Fender's Mustang.
I used that in the past too.
You played the bass?
What are you talking about?
His band made their debut with a major label.
What? Impressive!
No, it isn't impressive at all.
We weren't popular at all,
our contract was terminated after two years and our band dissolved.
I liked Zutaboro.
Thank you.
The band's name was Zutaboro?
Of course you've never heard of it.
We weren't famous.
But the bass you played was strong, yet there was grief and resignation.
It was expressed in the unique sounds,
and I really loved it.
Nobody has praised me like this in years.
Nobody in your family praises you, after all.
I only try to help, but she shouts at me about how I use the sponge.
Why did Ayako get married to you?
I don't know why either.
I was living my life like scum,
I had never dreamt of marrying an elite career woman.
But women who are capable and have a high income
have a soft spot for men like you.
Is that so?
Many of our customers are like that.
Like a female doctor and an aspiring artist,
or a lawyer and a young comedian.
Maybe it doesn't work because you have a proper job?
Wait, we are married and we have a daughter.
That idea reduced your original charm by half, Kouji.
Are you guys telling me to be a scum again?
You aren't cut out to be an office worker, right?
Of course, I don't think I am, but...
You were aware that you weren't cut out to be one,
that's why you wanted to make a living with music.
Wait a minute.
I think I'll become useless if I come to this bar.
You should be useless again.
There's no need to quit music just because you're married.
You don't play music now?
To be more precise, I can't play music anymore.
Why is that?
I used to own nearly 30 basses, but I sold or gave away all of them.
What? What a waste!
Don't tell me my sister told you to get rid of all of them.
She's always been insensitive about getting rid of people's treasures.
I've lost count how many video games she threw away when I was little.
"Mitsuru Coffee"
"Bar Clutch”
Welcome.
Hi.
Mitsuru...
are you still not able to let go of your coffee shop?
What? Why do you ask that?
You didn't look for a new job,
so I thought maybe that was the reason.
Well, if a man had once made up his mind
that this is how he'd make his living...
Of course you can't let go.
And it's the matter of money.
If you want to talk about anything besides money, I would've listened.
But you've got money!
Don't rebuild your house
and give me the money as my start-up capital.
Okay, then.
This is for your future.
Why don't you talk to Ayako yourself when we go home?
Let's have another drink to cheer up.
No, Mitsuru, we have to go home.
You haven't had any drinks made by Koyuki, have you?
- Are you guys accomplices? - Should I make you a drink?
That's not fair.
Something strong, please.
"Coffee Shop Polaris”
Sorry, I am very late.
You neglected your job of tidying and had a drink?
I didn't neglect my job.
I went to the used bookshop as a part of the job
to get rid of the book you don't need,
but I was unusually thirsty...
Kouji said no many times, I forced him to go with me.
Kouji only came with me reluctantly.
You say he was reluctant, but he'd had a lot to drink.
You let him stay outside freely, but lecture him when he's back.
Isn't it nasty of you?
It's okay, Mitsuru.
It was my fault that I gave in to temptation.
- Kouiji, do sit down. - Okay.
Mitsuru, will you have a look at my room before you eat?
Why?
Everything there now is yours.
Mine?
"2013.1.17 Thu Open"
You've been having gourd strip sushi rolls only.
I've always liked it.
The chewiness and sweetness are irresistible.
I can throw them away, right?
What? Of course not.
Why?
Why do I have to get rid of my stuff just because you're staying here?
Move them all to your room, then.
That's not right.
Why? It's even more wrong if your things are in my room.
You don't own that room, from the moment you left home.
Even so, it isn't yours either.
Mum lets me borrow it, so you have to tidy it up.
Since the moment I let you stay here,
you owe me big time.
Do you understand that properly?
Owe you? What the heck?
Anyway, I can't let you make my room smaller
and threaten the lifestyle I've had so far.
I'll ask you, then.
Why do you keep the coffee making tools
and not throw them away?
Are you going to open another shop?
You aren't, right?
What do you mean?
After you failed and brought us trouble,
you should've learned your lesson.
So you shouldn't have the stupid idea of opening another one.
You went too far.
Of course he wants to.
He keeps the things because he can't let go. Right?
No.
I have no regrets and I won't open another shop.
Mitsuru, I think you should tell her the truth.
I would've opened one long ago if I couldn't let go.
I'd have saved money desperately if I were serious.
You can throw them away, then. They're totally useless.
What?
Can you tell a boy who lost a game at Koshien to throw away the soil?
Keeping the soil is totally useless, so he should throw it away.
You can say that?
I didn't talk about Koshien.
The things in the boxes are Koshien's soil to me,
they're treasures of my youth that I can't throw away.
Do you want to get in my way So much?
Do you need six boxes of Koshien's soil?
Exactly! Put the coffee beans in jugs and put them in your room!
You totally looked down on me!
Because you're talking nonsense!
Forget it! Put them in my room for three months.
He gets carried away because you spoil him!
He doesn't have to throw them away if he's so reluctant.
You always tell people to get rid of their treasures easily, mum.
It's so annoying.
It's for Mitsuru's sake--
No, you don't. You do it for your sake.
You always say it's for someone's sake
to make things convenient for yourself.
That's how you always do things.
Have I ever told you to throw away anything?
You threw away the things dad gave me when I went to primary school.
Your dad?
I have only one dad.
- Kouiji... - I'll get some beer.
I feel really guilty about doing that.
At that time, we couldn't move on if we didn't get rid of the things.
You mean you couldn't, right?
Ayako, you've always been sacrificing our treasures
in the pretence of moving on.
You made Kouiji get rid of the basses he treasured too.
Who do you think you are?
Mitsuru, you're at fault too.
What? Why? I've been her victim for years!
What are you going to do next?
Next...
I'll have yellow tail, salmon roe, then sea urchin.
Don't dodge my question.
You haven't been doing anything since your coffee shop failed.
We all worry about you.
You haven't been going to school,
yet you have the gall to lecture your uncle?
They all worry about you a lot more than me.
I'll go to school tomorrow.
I will go to school.
Really?
Yeah.
Can you promise us?
I promise.
Isn't this great?
You heard that, Ayako?
Harumi promised to go to school starting tomorrow.
So what?
Harumi just promised all of us that she would go to school,
and she said I didn't have to throw away my boxes if I didn't want to.
Should we do what you want and throw them away?
Or can I keep them?
That will be Kouji's room, why don't you talk to him?
You didn't tell me.
It's okay, then. Kouji can sleep wherever he is.
Are there many boxes? May I go and have a look?
You didn't do what you said.
What?
I thought you'd have yellow tail first?
Harumi, you are observant, aren't you?
You didn't help us tidy the place,
why do you eat all the expensive ones?
It's a waste to leave them here.
They saved the best for last.
Kouji has only been having cucumber and gourd strip sushi rolls.
It's okay, he doesn't like raw fish.
Aren't you awful to order sushi if you know that?
That's why I saved him his favourite, eel and scallop.
You think this is kindness?
Can it be anything else?
I've never tried squilla before.
Try it. It looks weird, but it's tasty.
Kouji can eat squilla, so save him one.
Kouii still hasn't come back.
- Maybe he's sleeping? - No way.
It's possible.
He really can sleep anywhere.
He looks like a squilla.
Don't say that! I'm going to have it.

FM J East.
The most important thing is to make her attend the fifth lesson.
- Go to school. - Find a job.
Why?
Why does nobody teach me about the important things in life?
What makes you happier?
Him making you coffee every day or finding a regular job?
Not 1,000 yen, it's 5,000 yen.
I'll keep it if you don't mind.
Really?
I think Mrs Kishibe has found the purpose of her life.
I'll do it for 10,000 yen.
