Sugihara.
I like you.
I'm home.
Sorry to disturb you.
Did you take the train back?
- Yes. - I see.
There were people fighting outside earlier.
It seems like the couple who lives beside you.
The wife made french toast for breakfast.
Her husband is unhappy about having fried tofu in the morning.
They began arguing afterward. "What kind of fried tofu is this?"
No, it should be, "What kind of french toast is this?"
What is their name again?
The couple that lives beside you.
I remember that their name is quite funny.
Is it Kamikawa?
I can't really remember.
I should leave, right?
I'm the one who came without an invitation.
Sugihara was actually uncomfortable about it,
but I insisted on coming.
It doesn't matter.
Can we...
go somewhere nearby to talk?
What is there to talk about?
- Just for a while. - No need.
Soda.
Here.
What is the name of the couple again?
Shimoda.
I remember it now.
How about the one on the second floor?
Kamikawa.
That's right!
Their family lives downstairs.
The Shimoda family live upstairs from them.
It's so hard to remember!
(Kamui Restaurant Main Store)
Welcome home.
What's inside your bag?
Nothing.
How did Konatsu spend the day today?
She played bowling all day.
Come in.
Please come inside.
Sorry about earlier.
I asked you to leave just like that.
It's fine.
I don't mind.
We've been seeing each other for two years...
and we're preparing to get married.
I hope that you know your place...
from now on.
If you...
don't agree, I will ask someone to come...
and negotiate with you.
I will compensate you for the settlement.
It will not be for free.
Settlement?
Breakup fee.
It means I give you money and you go away.
Well...
I...
Just think about it as looking out for each other.
Don't talk about feelings anymore.
You can't buy Ren's affection.
You can't buy his affection with money.
You can't exchange it with anything.
That's not what I meant.
- Leave! Go away! - Konatsu.
If you don't go, I'm going to tell Sugihara.
Konatsu.
Konatsu's right.
Here.
Is he stupid?
He shouldn't underestimate Ren's feelings...
for Sugihara like that.
(Dad)
Yes?
Sometimes, life is tough.
But you will eventually forget about it when you are in love.
Do fall in love...
and I hope someday...
you will meet that one person who belongs to you.
(Love That Makes You Cry: Episode 9)
Three, four, five.
It should be five, right?
- Five? - It'll be fine if it's five.
See? Three, four, five.
Are you going to get 70 points?
I really wanted to get 80 points.
I don't know why I played so poorly.
But Konatsu, you played quite well.
Where is she?
(Kappa's Harvest Festival)
(We're All Good Friends)
- This is so good. - This is so good.
Oh no.
Sugihara, are you having a hard time with your schedule?
Do you want to lessen your workload?
It's the same as usual.
Do you have any suggestions?
Well, the mirror in the toilet has been broken for awhile.
Right?
We'll change it.
Right now.
Let me do it.
The main office personnel are all saying that...
you and Ibuki are getting married. It's not true, right?
Is it true?
Have you already set the date?
Is this true?
Actually, it's true.
- Sorry. - It's true.
It's really true.
Congratulations.
You're getting married to Ibuki.
Yes.
Okay.
Ren, you're back.
It's my mom.
Okay.
Hello, I'm Ren.
It's been a long time.
Yes.
Vegetable.
Thank you.
Konatsu?
She...
She's still working hard.
Don't worry.
I think...
she already knows what she wants to do.
What?
Muto?
Yes, I know him.
The radish is being harvested already?
What?
The ones Grandpa planted?
I see.
Grandpa's radish?
I see.
I'll think about it.
Okay.
All right.
Bye.
Yes.
Okay.
That's all.
Did she ask you to help harvest the radish?
Go then.
Well...
Ren.
Kiho.
Hi.
Okay.
You don't need to sell it. You can make a Kappa with it.
I don't want to do that.
What's important is not what you make,
- but who you make it with. - What?
If that person enjoys it, you will be happy too.
No matter what we do, I'm happy whenever I'm with you.
Haruta, why can't you just say it directly?
What?
You're like this every time.
You always say that you'll just stay behind Ren and support him...
or help recommend a job for him.
I feel that the things you say are so fake.
You say you like me. I think that's so abnormal.
Who are you, really?
What are you hiding?
First,
I was raised by wolves.
Second,
I'm an alien.
Third, my parents are a fake couple.
They have their own partners,
but they act lovingly in front of their kid.
Because I don't like to live that way,
I ran away when I was 15 after coming from an exam.
Third.
Wrong.
It's the third one, right?
- Wrong. - It's definitely the third one.
- Wrong. - It's the third one, right?
How are you?
Still the same.
What does that mean?
It means I'm still the same.
It's been five years.
Yes.
I heard about you from Aunt Shizue.
You didn't contact me.
Five years.
Yes.
And you didn't compliment me that I've become a mature woman.
You've become a mature woman.
Never mind.
All these time that you've been hiding,
a lot changed, right?
Oto has a boyfriend now.
What?
Nothing.
I see.
Have another one.
You still like her, right?
Did you tell her?
Yes.
Really?
She's another person's girlfriend.
Yes.
Are you laughing?
Who else would?
I was...
also surprised at that time.
When I heard from Oto that she found you,
I was so surprised.
I didn't go see you...
because of my current boyfriend.
But...
she went to see you.
Do you get it now?
Even though you felt it too late before and you were confused before,
but now you're both in the same boat.
So, the only way is to move forward.
She has a boyfriend now.
Being kind and being too kind is different.
Love is not fair.
Someone is bound to be eliminated.
There's nothing you can do about it.
I hope you work hard on it.
- I'm still very happy. - Right.
Okay.
Thank you.
Here.
There's still some left?
I can still eat another one.
Keep up the good work!
Let me do the rest.
Thank you.
Keep up the good work!

(Sugihara)
Hello.
This is Sugihara.
Yes.
This is Soda.
Is it a convenient time for you?
Yes.
Sorry, I was too willful.
It's all right.
Sorry.
Actually, I don't have any urgent matter to discuss with you.
It's okay.
Thank you...
for the drawing.
You're welcome.
I'm very happy.
I wasn't even able to finish it.
Then,
I'll look forward to the finished product.
Sugihara.
Yes.
Next time,
I want to go to Aizu.
Is that so?
I've heard that the radishes from Grandpa's seeds grew already.
It's harvest time,
so they asked me if I want to go and help them.
I need to stay overnight.
I plan to take the bus there.
If it's possible,
can we go together?
Is it okay?
I'm not sure...
if I can take a leave.
That's right.
But...
if you're free at that time then...
Sorry,
I have to go to bed now.
Sorry.
Good night.
Okay.
Good night.
Ibuki.
Attorney Zumura.
Sorry. You can go ahead.
- Okay. - Okay.
Long time no see.
- Long time no see. - Yes.
- How are you? - I'm good.
Thank you for your article.
It influenced the public opinion in our favor.
Thanks to your article, we were able to win that medical litigation.
No, actually I wasn't of much help.
I always talk to my colleagues about you.
We can make mistakes and fail,
but we have to be an honest person.
This is what you always say.
I think that's enough catching up for today.
Do you work here now?
Attorney Zumura.
Hi, thank you for getting our services.
Mr. Ibuki.
Please look favorably on us today.
Were you sent back by the other company's lawyer?
I'm very sorry.
Don't disappoint me.
Yes.
- How is that girl? - What?
For people like you, just get married earlier.
Okay.
Or rather, that kind of poor and greedy woman...
is suited for people like you.
You'll have the will to work hard...
if your wife keeps asking you for money.
She's an outstanding woman.
Even if her lies have been found out,
she didn't feel the need to explain herself.
Even if she was being interrogated, she didn't get mad or cry.
She must have sacrificed herself before.
Hey, where are we going?
Aren't we supposed to go bowling?
(Matsuto Troupe presents Kappa's Harvest Festival)
Why?
I called and they say that they're having rehearsals today.
They still remember your name.
Good, heave-ho!
Cucumber! Radish!
Full harvest again this year!
Full harvest!
Good, heave-ho!
Cucumber! Radish! Full harvest again this year!
Haruta.
You're so troublesome.
Sorry.
Why do you...
always seem to see through me?
Sorry.
Why me?
You act happy when you're happy.
You act sad when you're sad.
You never lie.
- That kind of person... - Doesn't exist.
But now, it does.
You can also cry.
I've never cried, so I don't know how.
Keep up the good work!
Do you want to go for a walk?
Go for a walk?
Here.
(Golden sweet potato cake)
Golden sweet potato cake.
Just like before, when we used to take walks with Ms. Sonoda.
I met an old friend today.
A lawyer I met when I conducted an interview for the magazine before.
Right. The lawyer for the medical litigation?
Yes, that's him.
That person only knows the old me,
so he was quite shocked to see me right now.
Just like you.
- Me? - I think so too.
If I compare myself then and now,
I'll like myself back then.
I feel sad when I think about the person that I was before,
but I can't turn back anymore.
I don't want to lie anymore.
What I'm going to tell you right now is the truth.
My current job...
is to tell employees who work hard for their families...
and the company they work for...
that they're fired.
And help my dad earn money...
by seizing that company's assets.
However, starting tomorrow,
I won't show that side to you again.
I will only smile when I'm with you.
I will protect your apartment...
and your job that are the dear to you.
I will only like you, no one else.
What do you think?
This is the choice made by my current self.
The happiest reality.
It doesn't matter who you like.
In this world,
there is surely a lot of people...
that are happy with their second or even third choice.
It doesn't need to start with falling in love.
It can start with living our lives from here on.
Let's continue living our lives together.
- It's so good. - Is it?
Yes.
The seaweed is good too.
Where's Mom?
Is your mom gone?
- Are you lost? - Mom.
It's all right. Don't be scared.
Let's find your mom together.
Mom.
Which direction did you come from?
Mom.
Ryuto.
Mom.
Sorry about that. Thank you so much!
Say thank you.
Bye.
Thank you.
Let's go home.
- It's so funny. - Sorry.
Sorry.
Ren, when are you going to Aizu?
The day after tomorrow.
Do you have a place to live there?
I'll stay with a neighbor.
Bring this.
Thank you.
You'll come back, right?
Yes, I don't have family or a place there anymore.
I was born in Tokyo.
I don't have a hometown so I'm not too sure.
But when you say hometown,
doesn't it refer to a place with good memories?
If you think of it that way, there's a lot of places you can go.
And you'll have more places you can go to in the future.
It's the same for you too.
By the way, that gift box...
will be deducted from your salary next month.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you.
(Tokyo Specialty)
(From Sugihara Oto)
(Can we meet tomorrow?)
(Yes. I get off work at 7pm.)
So nice.
No, it's not like that.
(Can we meet somewhere?)
(I'll be around your office area at 7pm.)
(Okay.)
Are you going back to Aizu together?
No.
There's a legend that says when couples ride the swan boat...
on Lake Inawashiro, they would be together forever.
Really?
Have I ever lied to you?
Have I?
That was quick.
If you want to drink, stay away from me.
Ren told you he likes you, right?
Don't drink here.
Tell me. What are you planning to do now?
I'll meet him tomorrow.
Okay.
Not bad, you're not that passive.
Try it if it's too spicy.
It's delicious!
They don't say it like that in Kansai.
Did Ren tell you he's going back to Aizu?
Are you going with him?
No.
Really?
Then why are you meeting him tomorrow?
I want to break up with him.
Why?
What do you mean?
To clear everything up.
Are you choosing your current boyfriend?
Yes.
Why aren't you choosing Ren?
- Come help me. - Why aren't you choosing Ren?
I've already decided.
Why?
Kiho.
Why?
What are you doing, Kiho? You're so troublesome.
I'm an annoying woman anyway.
- Silly girl. - Oto should be with Ren.
It's too late.
There's no early or late with these things.
There is.
I've been with Asahi for two years already.
But Ren is the one you like, right?
Two years is a long time.
I can't betray him.
What? So you're betraying yourself?
Can you betray how you feel?
That's how I've lived.
And I'm sure I can do it from now on too.
I don't want to hurt people.
But Ren will be hurt.
- He'll be fine. - Why?
Because he can understand me.
You'll surely regret this.
Thank you, Kiho.
But I've already decided.
I've decided it on my own.
The angle is wrong.
- No. - Stop playing.
No, let me play some more.
All right. Give it to me.
That's not how it's done. Look at me.
It won't work that way.
It has to be at this angle.
See? That's how you do it.
This is great!
I told you.
Keep up the good work!
Come on.
Okay.
Hey!
What's the matter?
What is it?
Come here.
What are you looking for?
The thief!
Thief?
My wallet was stolen.
- Where? By whom? - Over there.
Someone took my bag away earlier.
You've encountered a snatcher.
What should I do?
It's all right. Where do you live?
I'm from Nara in Noshino. I just arrived here.
I'll take you to the police station.
By the way...
Do you want some candy?
I've heard that the distance between stations in Tokyo is very short.
You can walk there. Is that true?
Yes. You can even walk three stations.
Really? No way.
- You can walk three stations? - It's true.
By the way, this is a bracelet that calls for miracles.
I was preparing to sell these in Tokyo.
Is that so?
I'll give it to you and the person you like.
You can each have one.
No need.
It's okay. The original price is just 200 yen.
Don't be shy.
And we're not sure if the miracle it calls is good or bad.
Thank you.
- There! - What's the matter?
That's the thief that snatched my bag.
Thief!
Hey! What? Wait!
Thief! Snatcher!
Is it this one?
That's mine! Give it back to me!
Did you take the stuff inside?
Just those?
Let's talk in the police station.
Are you hungry?
Sorry.
Why did you snatch my bag?
If you're hungry, just tell me. I'll give you some food.
Silly boy.
Hey, what's the matter over there?
Are these enough?
Seems like there's a snatcher.
What?
Let's go and help.
Okay.
As long as I find it.
Are you the snatcher?
Go to the police station. Let's go.
Wait! Don't do that.
Wait! Stop! Hey!
Hey!
Sugihara, this is Soda.
I think you may have gotten lost so I called to check on you.
Please give me a call.
Bye.
Sugihara.
I'm the type of person...
that doesn't have a lot of things I firmly believe in.
There's only one thing that I've never wavered on.
Do you still remember?
What we saw when we were on the way to Tokyo before...
Where was that again?
We saw...
We saw the light of the dawn, right?
We saw the sunrise after the long, dark night.
The sun was slowly rising in the north-east highway.
It was especially beautiful.
You and I were going towards the direction of the sun.
The sun was a bit blinding.
And you were smiling.
I felt very happy.
The sunlight that morning was especially bright.
At that moment, I really hope...
with all my heart...
that you can...
be happy.
You always strive...
to live each day well...
and believe that tomorrow will be better.
Even if this world has fallen into a state of hopelessness,
there's still hope in everybody's hands.
I always think of that...
when I look at you.
No matter what happens,
my belief in that will not change.
Sugihara.
One day...
I will...
Hi, Harukotobuki Corporation.
What?
Okay.
All right.
Mr. Kanbe, wait.
(Harukotobuki Corporation)
Hello.
(Intensive Care Unit)
(Next Episode: Finale)
As long as you've worked really hard to survive,
it will leave a mark in the heart...
of the people you've met...
as well as your own.
I wanted to help the victim.
Sorry.
It's my fault.
On whether she chooses me or Soda,
I think that she wrote what she really felt...
in this letter.
She chose you to be her lover.
I had a very special love.
This love is a very precious memory for me.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
