(Please look after the house for me.)
(Shizue)
Here. Congratulations on your recovery.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Let me do it. You just sit.
Which Shinkansen train are you going to take?
- Should we leave now? - No, we have plenty of time.
We won't be able to see each other for a while.
I want to remember the way you look.
Don't look at me.
Who received a super long message...
and got scared?
He did.
Who is mad at this compulsive liar?
He is.
Who feels a bit heavy and wants to break up?
He...
You are...
who you are.
I won't see him again.
Good.
Can I lean against you?
I thought it was over between us.
Let's be an ordinary couple.
We can do that, right?
Sure.
Hey, listen.
Today is payday.
Yes, it is.
How should I spend the money?
Sugihara, what are you going to do with it?
I'm going to get relaxed.
(Recipient's address)
Round, round takoyaki
Chubby, chubby takoyaki
Take a full bite of it
Ready to be blown away
Rolling, rolling takoyaki
- Welcome. - Rolling, rolling takoyaki
It hit the teppan
Feeling kind of dizzy
Ta-ta-takoyaki, ta-ta-takoyaki
Covered with delicious sauce
Ta-ta-takoyaki, ta-ta-takoyaki
Sprinkled with powdered nori
(To Tamagawa Central)
I need to get off.
Excuse me.
Wait! My takoyaki...
- Good evening. - Good...
Moving Guy.
Are you...
mad at me for what I did?
I'm sorry. I don't know why...
Why I did that.

(Love That Makes You Cry: Episode 4)
So cold.
Ms. Kawamura, it's time to eat.
Thank you for your patience.
Here, please hold this.
- Sorry. - Hey.
Get two rolls of toilet paper.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry.
Are you having too many shifts recently?
You need to get some rest.
The next one is waiting for you in the bathroom.
Okay.
And remember to brush Kawakami's teeth.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Okay.
Where should I put this?
What?
- Put it there. - Right.
It's finished.
Here, your child support.
President, you're annoying.
There are many men who don't pay child support when they're divorced.
You're better than them.
Because my dumb son and wife depend on me.
Here, Ren.
Good job.
Look how happy you are.
Thank you.
Let me see...
President.
What's this?
Well, we lost some big contracts.
- It can't be helped. - But...
- Kaji, this is yours. - Thank you.
Who hasn't got paid?
Ren, lend me 20,000 yen.
If I don't transfer the money today,
my dumb son can't get into school.
Okay, Ren? Please, Ren.
Help me, Ren.
Ren won't lend you the money.
After all, he was the one who paid...
for the speaker you broke.
What?
No, I'm just kidding.
Lend me money.
- Lend me money. - Sabiki.
Lend me money.
Sabiki.
Let me go.
Why are you looking me like that?
That's a bargain.
Yes, it is.
It's unbelievably cheap.
You said that the last time you came here.
Welcome, young man.
Window-shopping?
This is the last one.
So cold.
Sasuke, wait.
Wait, I told you to wait.
You thief.
She said she is going to give it to a friend.
Okay.
Giving to it a friend?
Isn't it what your parents asked you...
to bring when you came to Tokyo?
It's better to let someone who needs it have it.
It's not cheap.
I was scouted by a modeling agency.
They gave me a signing bonus...
and rent me an apartment in Aoyama.
I'll send them back the money for that sewing machine.
It's not a matter of money...
What? Are you jealous of me?
Because I made it before you do?
Did you?
Then I'm happy for you.
I haven't heard of this agency.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Haruta.
Is Konatsu all right?
Ren, you've got a bald patch here.
Here, touch it yourself.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
(You must have worked hard today. I want to hear your voice.)
(Can you call me when you get home?)
(I caught a cold.)
(Could you cover for me tomorrow morning?)
(Good morning, Kiho. I'm going to work.)
(Sending)
That's annoying.
I'm sorry.
Make it stop. It's disturbing.
I'm sorry.
You're the one who's annoying.
What?
It's normal for the baby to cry.
Is that how you speak to a senior?
A man of your age, aren't you feel ashamed of yourself?
I'm sorry.
Everybody feels the same.
- Shut up. - They just don't say it.
I'm sorry.
It's so annoying.
Just die already.
You can call the police.
Call the police if you want to.
Please stop arguing, you are bothering others.
I'm really sorry.
(A Great Dad and an Amazing Son. The Inherited Business Wisdom.)
The headquarters suggested that we reduce staff.
We can't maintain our shift schedule if we lay more people off.
Then change the 380-yen bento to 280-yen ones.
Cutting that expense can't fundamentally solve the problem.
Hello?
Feeling sick?
Sugihara?
Good morning.
Use the wheelchair.
There is no need, please call the doctor.
Okay.
Did that man leave?
What are you doing here?
I have something to say about the running of the company.
Do you?
The company is barely holding up.
It's going to bankrupt.
If you keep reducing staff, people will burn out.
Then hire some new people.
People aren't consumables.
Come up with a new plan if you don't like ours.
Open your own company if you have ideas to pursue.
I'm not your enemy.
I just want to make this place better.
Nice shoes.
They are my working shoes.
You want to do this so bad that you dare to disobey me.
- I just... - Don't come to me again.
I feel depressed when I look at the mistake I made.
The winner has the say.
The room is too cold.
No wonder you caught a cold.
I want to ask you something.
I fell asleep on the bus this morning...
so I don't remember anything.
Did someone pick me up?
I think it's Ibuki.
I see.
Then I should really thank him.
The temperature is going to keep dropping tonight.
Really, it's too cold.
I want to buy an electric heater.
I had one on sale,
but someone just bought it. How about this?
I'll take it. I also need a humidifier.
Okay.
Sorry to disturb you.
Thank you.
How do you know where I live?
The fellow next door told me.
The fellow next door?
Finally, the room is livable now.
I'd better get going.
Thank you.
Call me if you need anything.
Is this Ms. Kawamura?
Wait. Don't look at it.
Ms. Saito.
Mr. Nemoto.
Mr. Kono.
You know how to draw?
No, I don't.
I just like doodling since I'm a kid.
You are quite good at it.
Have you thought about...
being a painter or an illustrator?
No, I haven't.
It's might be a good idea to find out about other options...
instead of doing the labor.
Don't you have a dream?
- Dream? - I guess everybody has one,
like becoming Asada Mao or something.
No, it feels hard.
Chasing the dream is hard.
It's troublesome and depressing.
You can't give up even you want to.
It's like a tangled web.
That's dream.
I see.
Some people are destroyed by their dreams.
I shouldn't say that to a sick person.
Yes.
Do you have a dream?
I had one.
Although I think I'm talented.
I don't quite understand.
But speaking of dreams,
I think I'm already living in one.
Being a care worker?
I always want a room to myself.
A room?
I want a job.
I want to make money and buy food I like to eat.
I want to live in my own room,
sleep on my own bed.
This is...
the life that I've always wanted.
I don't know.
I see.
I should leave now.
It's weird, isn't? What I just said.
Maybe my dream is still alive.
What dream?
I hope that man can take me serious and listen to what I say.
Thank you.
Get better soon.
I will.
Will you be there when I come back home the day after tomorrow?
I might have to work late.
Then I will wait for you.
I have two keys.
What?
I'll leave one for you in the mailbox.
Keep it with you.
Okay.
I'll be waiting for you at home.
Wait for me.
Pinecone Theater Company is doing a production.
I don't think modeling is right for you.
- It's none of your business. - Wait.
Excuse me.
Tell me.
Would you like to ride with me on my motorcycle to a hot spring?
Why would I go to the hot spring with you?
Do you like me?
Yes.
Stop making fun of me.
I'm not.
I know I'm not cut out to be a model.
I just want to change.
I don't want to be another ordinary girl on the street.
Every ordinary girl on the street...
thinks the same.
Hey, stop.
Go check on him.
What are you doing?
My son is in this school.
This is a private school.
Impressive.
Which one is your son?
The manliest one, obviously.
Time to go home.
Okay.
Here he comes.
Goodbye.
See you tomorrow.
Goodbye.
- That's him. - Bye.
Hi, Ryuta.
Button your coat...
or you'll catch a cold again.
- Is that too tight? - No.
Papa.
- Excuse me for a minute. - Sure.
What do you want?
The entrance fees.
I told you I don't need your money.
Seno will take care of that.
Is that so?
Sorry, let's go.
Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
Sabiki.
Are you looking down on me?
Are you?
I'm the mastermind behind Komuro Tetsuya.
He calls me every day...
and begs me to come back.
Don't you ever look down on me!
- Do you hear me? - I didn't...
Understand?
Go back to the countryside.
I won't.
It won't get better even if you keep working hard.
You won't be able to save any money.
Your life will always be like this.
You'll end up like me.
Give up.
Hey, what's going on?
We are showing each other some love.
With your look,
you'll receive tons of offers soon.
Wait a minute.
Let me get the contract for you.
Okay.
(Mom)
Thank you for your patience.
Here.
Housing contract?
Yes, this is the contract for the apartment you're going to live.
Well...
What?
Is it...
Is it necessary for me to sign the housing contract?
Everyone does that.
But I don't have the money.
We'll loan it to you for the moment.
When you begin to make money on your own...
Does this mean I'm going to owe you money?
Modeling is a lucrative job, you don't have to worry about that.
Can I call my mom first?
Excuse me, I'm here to pick up my friend.
Nobody is in there.
- Konatsu? - You should leave now.
- Konatsu? - Hey!
- Haruta! - I knew she's in there.
Save me!
Let me pass.
Hey!
My fever is down.
Yes, starting tomorrow.
Today?
Right now?
Go ahead.
Aren't you going to get on?
It looks crowded.
I'm afraid the baby would cry.
But it's cold outside.
Excuse me, we're getting on.
Come with me.
Do you want to get on?
Be good.
Don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Don't cry.
- Excuse me... - Be good.
I'm not saying you can't.
But why do you have...
to take the baby on a bus at the rush hour.
I have to work.
I'm okay with that,
but have you given a thought...
about what others might think?
I'm sorry.
Be good.
I'm here.
Look, it's a rabbit.
You're making me look like a bad person here.
Can you move away a little bit?
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
Are you alright, miss?
I'm fine.
Is it a bra?
I'm sorry.
- Can I keep it? - You want a girl's underwear?
Poor thing.
- I want it! - Do you?
That's hilarious.
- Can you see it? - Look.
Excuse me.
That's not funny.
That's normal.
People fall all the time.
Thank you.
Good night.
Doing laundry?
Are you going to do your laundry?
Yes.
Do it...
at Aunt Shizue's house.
Can I?
You go there first.
I need to buy some stuff.
I have to tell you something.
What did you buy?
I'm going to cook now, you go sit there.
What are you going to make?
Just sit down.
Okay.
Here.
(Electric heater)
Why do you know how to make this?
I had a part-time job making this during high school.
Did you?
I wanted to save the money to buy my grandpa a massager.
You did?
My grandpa got angry at me.
He said he's too young to use that.
But he was in his 70s at that time.
Though he was mad, when I made him the takoyaki,
he told me it was very delicious and ate 20 of them.
I can eat 20 of them myself.
Really?
I won't lose to a grandpa.
- Why are you laughing? - Nothing.
It's just you remind me of him.
He's very stubborn and hates losing.
Just like me.
He's usually quite amicable,
but he can be very particular...
when it comes to the temperature of the bathing water...
or the right way to eat a fish.
He was always complaining about the bathing water I prepared...
wasn't hot enough.
I lived with my grandpa...
since I was little.
I see.
The bathing water he prepared was way too hot,
I felt like crying when I got into the tub.
You did?
My grandpa is truly amazing.
I'd love to meet him.
Well...
I won't use the word "meet",
I want to exhibit him to you.
He's a natural monument himself,
you don't meet him, you visit him as a scenic spot.
First my grandpa,
then Lake Inawashiro.
Lake Inawashiro?
Have you heard of it?
It's near my home, it's very beautiful.
I used...
to go there every morning...
before I did farm work,
to see the reflection of Mount Bandai,
bathing in the morning sun.
The lake...
is like a mirror of the sky.
It calmed me...
whenever I looked at it.
In the evening,
the lake would...
change its color according to my mood.
When I felt down, the lake was the color of sadness.
When I was happy, the lake became the color of joy.
I like rainy days or stormy days.
Mist and clouds join together,
giving the lake an ultramarine color.
The wind ruffles the lake,
bringing a rustling sound.
That's my home.
That's where I live.
That's what I've been thinking.
I really want to visit there.
Let's go together.
It tastes better when it browns a little, right?
Yes.
I'll get some bonito flakes.
Okay.
I don't think...
Tokyo is the place for me.
I don't feel at home...
when I come home.
I feel like I'm a guest...
in my own room.
Yes.
I always...
feel that way...
during my five years in Tokyo.
Yes.
And...
Sugihara.
Yes.
I fell...
in love with you.
So much in love.
Hopelessly in love with you.
I think about you all the time.
But I...
I have to stop this.
I feel miserable.
Sugihara.
I'm sorry for brushing you off recently.
But I will keep doing that tomorrow.
I understand.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I loved you.
I'll go get the bonito flakes.
Okay.
Hot!
You ate too quickly.
You're going to burn yourself.
Well, I already have.
Wait.
This one has two pieces of octopus meat in it.
Jackpot.
Delicious.
Good evening.
The moon is very beautiful tonight.
Yes.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Shall we go home?
I thought you are good at fighting.
No way, I'm a terrible fighter.
That hurts.
Then why did you come to save me?
I don't even like you.
I know.
The night sky of Tokyo is very bright.
It would be better if it darkened a little bit.
I'm sorry.
- I like... - You don't have to like me.
What?
It's okay if you don't like me.
Be with me.
And I...
I'll help you get the love you want.
I'll make Ren yours.
Haruta?
Make a contract with me, okay?
Welcome home.
I'm back.
Hello? It's Sugihara.
It's Ibuki.
Sorry for calling you suddenly.
What's wrong?
Hello?
I want to see you.
(The End of Chapter One)
How about you like me instead?
I'll return your feelings.
He's my first love.
I'll make him yours.
Someone has to keep Grandpa company.
You're no longer needed here.
Did you write this, Hinata?
Do you want to go back so bad?
Kneel.
You're all liars.
You like him, right?
And he likes you, right?
Are you okay with them being together?
You won't leave Tokyo, will you?
Aren't you going to look for him?
I liked him with my whole heart.
That's good enough for me.
Since that day,
I've never seen him again.
