Oto.
Let's get married.
Live happily with me.
Sorry, I...
I haven't thought about this yet.
That's right.
Sorry about that.
You haven't even answered me yet. I was in too much of a hurry.
You don't have...
to give me an answer right away.
After we get married,
you don't have to work so hard anymore.
I'll let you live in a nice house.
I believe...
that I can make you happy.
- Thank you. - Okay.
Are you leaving?
Yes. I'll call you.
- By the way... - Yes?
I saw Soda today.
- Who's Soda? - Soda Ren.
Don't you remember him?
Yes, I remember.
Is he doing well?
Not really.
He mentioned that his hometown is in Aizu, right?
That's why.
- He's in Tokyo now. - Okay.
I wasn't really able to talk to him today.
I'm planning to meet him again.
I see.
If you don't want me to see him, just say so.
Why do you want to see him?
Because he helped me before,
but I was never able...
to repay him.
Do you want to help him out?
I'm not sure. I just feel like...
What if I tell you not to go?
Then,
I won't see him anymore.
I won't say that.
Go see him.
You've known him for so long.
You have to help him if he's in need.
Thank you.
We can't let the flowers continue wilting away.
Nobody would take care of them...
if I go to Izu with my boyfriend.
I'll call the flower shop later and ask them about it.
Don't worry about a thing.
Just enjoy the feeling of being in love.
Doesn't Ren want to see us again?
Can you tell Ren something on my behalf?
Tell him that he's welcome here anytime.
Okay.
Welcome.
Were you able to see him?
Yes, I did.
He's changed, right?
He grew horns.
You can go back now. I'll go ahead.
Okay. Take care.
I think it's mainly because of his grandpa's passing.
Yes.
That was around the fall season in the year...
of the big earthquake.
I also went back to my hometown.
Then I went to Aizu to visit him.
At that time, his grandpa was already in the hospital.
His grandpa...
completely changed after getting sick.
I see.
An 80-year-old man...
who worked hard planting in the field his whole life...
suddenly became full of anger and hate.
He scolded...
and hurt...
everyone around him.
Ren was the one who was affected the most.
His grandpa didn't even recognize him.
After that,
day after day,
he scolded him with scalding words.
You scum,
you thief!
Give me back my land!
Give me back my mountain!
It's all your fault!
Just die!
We all know that Grandpa's not in his right mind...
because he's sick.
But Ren is stupid.
He thought his grandpa meant it.
He kept apologizing, always saying, "Sorry, Grandpa."
He went on apologizing...
after being scolded and kicked around.
Grandpa never remembered him again after that.
An old man who planted radish for 80 years...
was entirely filled with anger and hate during his last days.
Anger and loneliness.
That was how Ren's beloved grandpa felt before he died.
Dreams, memories, a place to return to...
Hi.
All his emotional support are gone now.
Can I talk to you for a few minutes?
If my wife finds out that I've been fired, I'm doomed.
Don't worry.
We'll whole-heartedly provide you assistance.
- Thank you. - Okay.
So, afterward...
He doesn't think the hourly rate is really 300 yen, right?
(Job Post)
(We'll help you find a stable, high-earning job.)
Goodness.
What is this?
I see.
Items from the deceased.
Ren.
Hi, long time no see.
Hi.
Sorry to disturb you.
You can finish that first.
I'll wait for you.
Can I take a look at this?
Gosh.
So, you read this kind of book.
That's not mine.
I see.
Why are you here?
I came here today for a reason.
The flowers in Aunt Shizue's backyard are wilting.
Can you take a look?
She wants to see you.
Please tell her something on my behalf.
Okay.
Sorry to make her worry.
Tell her to forget about me.
Go home.
Do you still remember Sasuke?
He's grown so big after five years.
This big.
I'll show you his picture.
Look. Isn't he cute?
I think he still remembers you.
Sabiki is also very worried about you.
He's an incredible person.
Do you know Usain Bolt?
This guy.
He taught him how to run.
That's a lie.
What?
He's a liar.
He's so bad.
He told me...
he's the brain behind Komuro Tetsuya.
What?
Can't you go back to being a moving guy?
You don't look good wearing a suit.
And tie too.
I think being a moving guy is more suitable for you.
I earn more doing this job.
I see.
I don't know what you've heard,
but I'm just working.
Whose manga is this?
I don't know.
Maybe it was left by one of the job seekers.
Was it this kid?
He even has his parents' picture with him.
It seems he has a lot of stories behind him.
So, what?
Don't get mad.
Whatever happens to him is his own fault.
My job...
is none of your business too.
I think...
that your grandpa really loved you.
He wouldn't have resented you.
He loved you very much.
He was worried about you...
and was very grateful to you.
You don't even know him.
- Yes, but... - You don't know anything.
This was Grandpa's pajamas.
Grandpa died in a toilet at the train station.
He fell on the filthy floor in the toilet...
and died all alone.
I wasn't there with him.
He didn't leave any last words...
or messages.
He died just like that,
full of hate,
on the cold, hard floor.
You don't know anything.
So stop saying things you don't know about.
(Love That Makes You Cry: Episode 7)
This is the application form, admission ticket,
admission guide...
and last semester's tuition fee.
Okay.
The tuition has to be wired this week, okay?
Okay, no problem.
I'll pay you back after I become a designer.
You'll surely make it.
I'll make dinner. Go and change.
Okay.
Do you hear...
the sound of a helicopter?
It's all right.
Okay.
How many colleges has she applied to already?
She had a dispute with her teacher in her previous one.
She can go back to her hometown.
Her hometown is a farming village.
She'll be sent back here...
if she told her family that she dropped out.
If you feel responsible for what happened five years ago...
What?
You turned Konatsu away from your house that day.
She was all alone for many days.
Until now, whenever Konatsu remembers what happened...
I'm going to make dinner now.
If you think about it, I'm really the one to blame.
I shouldn't have told her to go to you.
I'm the one responsible for what happened.
Ren!
There're no shell cakes anymore.
Weren't there a few pieces left before?
- Were you the one who ate them? - Sorry.
So, that's what happened.
What do you mean, because of his grandpa?
Nothing. Sorry, I won't ask anymore.
My boyfriend is not like yours.
He's the jealous type.
So, I can't do anything for Ren.
I didn't do anything for him either.
Let me ask you.
Why did you have to go see him?
- Because I'm worried. - Worrying means...
he's still in your heart.
If you still have the guy you liked inside your heart,
that's not good.
Gosh. I think I'm drunk.
Kihoko.
Sugihara.
What's the matter?
The nursing home signed a new contract with us.
That's great!
Yes. That's good news!
You have to thank Ibuki.
He's the one who helped you so that you guys can stay.
Is he that influential?
He's working at the President's Office now.
He's likely to become the next president.
President? That's incredible!
Asahi, do you have a girlfriend?
What?
Mr. Oyama from the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare...
has a daughter of marrying age.
Do you want to meet her?
No.
In our corporation, there's no future for people who's not married.
I have someone I'd like to marry.
Whose daughter is she?
Invite her one day...
to have a meal with us.
Okay.
Wait.
Restructure this company this month.
Fire all the employees.
I'm counting on you.
Hello.
Sorry.
It's fine.
Really sorry.
You're working hard, as usual.
Why are you here? Do you have a meeting?
I had to do something at a company nearby.
A company?
Yes, so I swung by to see you.
Thank you. Right.
By the way, did you see Funakawa and Nishino?
They're so happy about what you did. Thank you!
Human resources matters for dispatch personnel are a piece of cake.
I can just make a call to resolve it.
You're doing good.
Let's talk outside.
People like you,
who takes advantage of situations,
are indeed the successful ones.
You're going to that defeated company now.
I wonder how many employees will be out of jobs.
Kazuma.
I can make a recommendation for you...
if you can't find a new job.
(Tuition Fee Information)
I spent the money for tutoring class on my idol.
I spent mine on slot machines.
You'll be able to pay back your loans soon.
Yes.
And this is the contract. Please have a look.
That is where you'll need to sign.
Please affix your signature there.
Why are we stopping?
Move quickly!
What are they doing?
- Let me talk to them. - Okay.
We have to move!
Sorry about that.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you.
Hey, what are you doing? Let's go!
Hey.
Wait.
Stay right there. Don't move.
Hey, wait!
You left this.
Why are you running away?
I told you, you left something.
Here.
This is yours.
It's okay.
Just go.
Or else somebody would come.
Forward!
Forward! Stop!
(99 Moving Company)
Wait.
Okay.
Move quickly!
Okay.
- Sorry. - It's fine.
You're very busy during the day so I wanted to come see you.
I bought a vase.
I think you've always used empty bottles as a vase.
There.
The flower looks so much better now.
Are you hungry?
Let me cook something.
I already had pizza earlier.
- Is that so? - You know,
after I left earlier,
I went to a meeting. We just finished a while ago.
Just finished?
It must have been tiring.
That company's president...
was too emotional.
He keeps saying how the employees would be living afterward.
So, I'm really tired today.
But, now...
Yes.
After seeing your face, I'm full of energy again.
Thank you.
My dad wants to meet you.
I told him there's someone I want to marry...
and he wants me to introduce you to him.
I think he wants to see if you can be the next president's wife.
Just kidding. Don't take it seriously.
Relax, okay?
Where did I go wrong?
I thought you would be able to give me an answer immediately.
That's why I've been working hard.
I thought that if I did that,
we can live happily in the future.
Sorry.
I want your answer, not apologies.
The reason why I can't answer you...
is partly because of work.
That kind of work...
No, I mean...
I'm working very hard.
I know. That's not what I meant.
It's dispatch work...
so it's really hard.
There are times when I would feel that it's unfair.
However,
during the past year,
I was able to do a lot more things really well.
I don't want to tender my resignation now.
I know.
And...
I don't want to leave this place.
I was able...
to buy this place...
with the work that I've done with my own hands here in Tokyo.
Even if it's not much,
but everything here is mine.
I can decide what I want to do with them.
That's why,
it's important for me.
Sorry I changed the vase without consulting you.
Why?
Why did you have to go see the man you liked before...
at a time like this?
Why do you have to ask me if you can go see him?
Actually,
I didn't want to say you can't go,
but I didn't want to tell you that you can, either.
It would be better if you can just go without telling me.
I didn't really want to tell you these things.
I just wanted to live happily with you.
Thank you.
Well...
That's it.
You don't have to worry about me.
Just take care of yourself.
I got these...
from the pocket of the pajama.
They're receipts.
From the supermarket or grocery or something.
Your grandpa...
was discharged from the hospital a few times, right?
Yes.
Please don't take it the wrong way,
but I want to read it to you, okay?
- What? - I'll start.

He had steamed cake the day before,
so he changed it to chestnut steamed cake today.

and the other one...
for the field.
Here.

Drink!
The sake that day...
must be very good.
(Mikawa Store)
Hey, Mom. It's me.
You'll surely be surprised, but I got a job.
Yes.
I won't be going home then.
What?
You're crying again.
That's why I don't like calling you.
All right. You're too much.
That's it. I'll go ahead.
Okay, bye.
Get off.
What's the matter?
Go home.
Go home quickly!
Haruta.
What?
I want to quit this job.
Okay.
Me too.
(To Tamagawa Central)
Hi.
(Fertilizer)
Where were you when the earthquake happened?
Near our place in Aizu.
Is that so? It's good that you're safe.
You must have suffered a lot.
It must have been hard on you.
You can't feel guilty about surviving.
Looking at Oto,
people can see what kind of person her mom is.
Looking at you,
people can see what kind of person your grandpa is.
The people...
who have passed away...
and even the people who are yet to be born...
will live on with us.
You have to live well too.
Welcome back.
Do you want some candy?
It's been five years.
A lot of things have changed.
He proposed to me.
You have somebody you like now.
If he proposes to you,
you have to say yes right away.
I welcome people like you.
You have to live happily.
Until when will you and Konatsu maintain this kind of relationship?
Until Konatsu reaches her dreams.
Haruta, what do you mean?
I'm the one who likes you.
You've seen her, right?
Before you came back, we were doing well.
Marriage or breakup.
That's our only choices.
You have someone you like, right?
That person is the one you think of first...
when you hear this question.
I want to confirm something.
Sugihara, are you happy right now?
I don't know.
