"If Talking Paid"
The other team's batter was good.
But we did well in the second half.
- What are you doing? - Practicing blowgun.
Obviously.
It's so fun, I'm totally into it.
Mr Makimoto has started it too.
Yeah, he's even more into it than me.
How old is the youngest student?
Someone about as old as you.
Are you interested?
I've had no hobby after I quit music, so I'm envious.
- Please watch out. - Sorry.
You're good at it!
How did your meeting with Sonoda go?
What do you mean?
- About applying to his company. - We only enjoyed a drink.
- You won't apply for a job? - Of course not!
You want to try?
Can I just blow like this?
Aim at the target and blow boldly at it.
Okay.
What's the matter?
I'll try it.
Coming up is some news about actress Manami Sakurada,
who also works as a ring announcer.
A strange man had been living
in the attic of the place where she lives alone.
How horrifying is that!
This is a message from Poko, a 44-year-old lady.
I've seen the result of your mock exam.
Why was it so bad?
It was difficult and everyone's was bad.
If that was true, your standard score wouldn't have gotten worse.
Shut up, it only got a bit worse.
It's November already, you'll sit the entrance exam in three months.
I'm listening to it. Be quiet.
How should a mother of a teenager act around her child?
Indeed.
MY NAME IS MASAOKA SHIKl
Who drew this?
I'm asking who drew this.
Takahira did.
Where is Takahira?
Where is he?
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday, dear Masaoka...
I don't look like him!
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday!
Wait, this...
isn't this Christensen’s strawberry shortcake?
- You love it, right? - Yes!
It's brilliant!
Happy birthday, Mr Masaoka!
Happy birthday!
- Masaoka! - Oh, my goodness!
I'm very sorry I couldn't help!
Don't worry about it. Thank you.
I didn't expect you could at all.
Don't say that.
I wonder what job would be suitable for Mitsuru.
We would've told him if we had any idea.
- Hello. - Welcome!
You really came!
I'm on my own. Is this okay?
This way, please.
- Have a seat. - Thanks.
May I have Mandheling coffee, please?
Yes, certainly.
Thanks for the other day.
This is Mr Makimoto, he joined with me.
Oh, Mr Makimoto! The second-hand clothes shop owner?
Second-hand bookshop.
Is he a friend from your blowgun club?
- The vice president, Mr Danno. - I'm Danno.
Do you run the coffee shop alone?
- Yes, I do. - And your husband?
Mr Danno, I am very sorry,
but questions about Mrs Kishibe's private life are prohibited here.
Why do you say that?
Have you been a customer here for a long time?
I've been a customer here since it opened over 30 years ago.
I calculated and found
that he could buy a small car with the sum he has spent here.
I can buy a better car than that.
I have to make some effort then.
You totally want to be a regular!
You live near here, right?
You know the silver house next to the post office?
- Yes! - Oh!
The mansion? The one where two imported cars are parked?
There are two more at the back.
Wow!
Ma'am, Omelette Dry, please.
I thought you'd had lunch?
I want to have the dish I came up with on the secret menu.
I'll have the same.
Sorry, Mr Danno.
Customers who haven't been here can't order from the secret menu.
That's not true.
Good evening.
Oh, good evening!
Are you going out?
I said I'm going to the sauna and she wanted to go too.
You two are close.
Sweating won't help her get slimmer.
Shut up!
Well, do you know a Riku Takahira?
Yes, he's in another class.
Please tell me something if you know him.
- Savory egg custard? - Yes.
It's a waste to put away the pressure cooker after using it once.
Why is it a waste?
Please take some mushroom and carrot from the fridge.
I thought Mitsuru hated ginkgo?
Thank goodness, I almost put some in by mistake!
What else will we have tonight?
Ayako said she'd buy some good roast beef.
Both don't go with rice.
Have some natto, then.
- You and mum say the same thing. - Because I raised her.
"Chapter Nine, Ginkgo and Nail Clipper"
Mitsuru, no!
Guys... Do you know Kouji's dream when he was in primary school?
- What is it? - Look.
Migratory locust.
I wouldn't have married him if I had known.
Isn't this adorable?
I felt crippled as a human being when I was a child.
What happened at school?
I had aspirations, because nothing else was happening.
I wanted to be able to jump high and overcome difficulties easily.
You were serious when you wrote it?
It wasn’t just "locusts,"
but he wrote "migratory locusts," that's what makes it ironic!
What do you mean?
Let's dig in.
Bon appetit...
Bon appetit.
Mitsuru, what was your future dream?
I wanted to own a coffee shop when I was a child and a teenager.
A classmate from my primary school
wrote of his aspiration to become a politician and really became one.
It's amazing that one's childhood dream actually came true.
Can you say Mitsuru's dream came true?
- Why? - His shop lasted less than a year.
Whether a dream came true depends on the length of time?
Of course!
If someone's salon closed in six months due to poor business,
but they said their dream came true, won't that annoy you?
If a boxing world champion loses a match after three months,
you'll say he exaggerated it when he says his dream came true
for defending his title for three months?
Your example is too unique!
I concentrated on making efforts to do what I wanted to do,
you are the only one who can't say anything to deny it.
I didn't deny it.
What about your life, which has gone offtrack?
Yes, now that you mention it.
- Mum! - Is it so different?
When she was little, she wanted to be a pop star,
and she wanted to be a softball player in her teens.
You were pretty specific, but have you really tried?
I'm amazed that you remember.
It's amazing that memories for seeking revenge stay.
She wanted to be a ballerina when she was even younger,
so we bought her a leotard and shoes,
but she quit in six months.
You don't need to tell them!
- I had no idea. - Me neither.
- You bought her a piano too. - Piano?
She only did that for a while too.
When I wanted a piano, mum assumed
that I'd lose interest soon and didn't buy it.
You assumed your daughter would soon lose interest because you did,
but it isn't what a mother should do.
Our home was small and I didn't have extra money, so I couldn't buy one.
You should've said so.
When you think about it,
the total sum you spent on Ayako's extracurricular lessons
was the double of mine.
It could be triple, even.
- It isn't that different! - It is different!
Ballet and piano lessons are expensive,
and when I started to play baseball,
Mr Morozumi gave me his used equipment.
Mitsuru went to a public high school and Ayako went to a private one.
Ayako graduated university, but I quit after two years,
so you paid more in school fees for her.
You didn't do Dad a favour by dropping out.
Isn't it unfair that you spent triple the amount on one child?
I have the right to get the remaining two-thirds now.
You don't.
I don't mean this moment,
but write it on your will, so that we won't fight for the inheritance.
You already worry about what happens when I die?
How rude of you!
Harumi, what about your high school?
Will you go to a public or a private one?
I don't know yet.
Mum, why is there no gingko?
You hate it, right?
Yeah, so I didn't put any in yours.
Don't do something uncalled for!
What? I thought you hated it.
How long ago are you talking about?
You didn't eat it when we went to the hot spring five years ago.
A person changes if it's been five years.
You've been jobless for six years.
How dare you.
There are many gingkoes left if you want it so much.
I like the fried ones more than those in egg custard, so it's fine.
They're the best.
I fell in love with it after trying it at Clutch.
What food do you hate now?
Not many.
I'll be too scared to cook if you don't tell me.
It's just shallots and chilled noodles now.
Why don't you like chilled noodles?
The noodles are chilled and sour. It doesn't make sense.
You hate sukiyaki too.
Why?
He said he'd overcome it lately and it's his favourite now.
You promised you wouldn't tell anyone.
What's the matter?
About the exam a while ago...
Again?
I hope you didn't do badly on purpose.
Just cut it out.
What about the exam?
The result of her mock exam has never been so bad.
I'm wondering if she did badly on purpose,
to make me give up and let her go to the school she wants.
Let her go to the school she wants.
This is serious, so keep quiet.
Do you not want to let her go there so much?
If Harumi actually wants to go there, I wouldn't be so annoying.
Until I apply for the school Mum wants me to attend,
she'll continue to nag me.
You want to go to the same school as Riku Takahira, right?
It isn't about him.
It's the boy who came to my coffee shop?
Harumi wants to go to Kainan High School,
and I heard that his standard score is about that value.
It's just a coincidence.
I don't want your feelings to blind you and make your life go to waste.
I agree with your mum.
There was a high school I wanted to go to too,
but I entered the one with the highest standard score,
and I'm really glad.
Is it bad to go to the same school as her crush?
Be quiet.
I'm serious too!
I said you were wrong.
Isn't it better if going to the same school gives her more motivation?
- I don't want her to be like you! - What do you mean?
You chose the same high school as your baseball friends
and aimed to go to Koshien, but you had regrets about it.
I didn't regret about it.
How did it end up, then?
You've never been serious about pursuing your dreams.
Look who's talking.
I called and asked him.
About what?
Riku Takahira said the school he applied to wasn't Kainan.
How do you know, Kouji?
Sorry.
I exchanged contact details with Riku Takahira.
- You're kidding, right? - It's true.
When?
He asked me on sports day.
Sorry I didn't tell you.
Harumi, aren't you angry?
You knew?
Sorry, I knew that too.
Only I didn't know?
I had no idea either.
I'm really sorry.
Kouji didn't keep it a secret because he wanted to hurt you.
I had met him once at a coffee shop,
but I won't do that again.
Ayako...
Oh, sorry. I borrowed it.
It's okay, do continue.
Thank you.
Okay...
Kouji.
Do you know...
what Harumi wrote as her dream in her primary school graduation essay?
No, I don't.
She wanted to be a musician.
Did she?
I found it by chance when you moved your things here.
It reminded me that you two were closer before you married Ayako.
I shouldn't say this myself, but she was fond of me.
It also gave me the courage to get married too.
It isn't easy for a family to live in the same house.
I agree.
Well done!
You're getting better bit by bit.
Excuse me.
Am I in your way?
It's okay, I'll do it elsewhere.
Did he...
Did he say the name of a different high school on purpose?
- Who? - Riku Takahira.
Why?
Kouji suddenly called,
so he realised that your parents
grilled you about the high school you chose.
I doubt it.
But you know that he wants to go to Kainan High School, right?
Welcome.
You applied to the same high school as your friends. How did it go?
You'd better not ask.
Why? You have no regrets about it, right?
My two friends failed and only I passed.
- You’re joking! - It's true.
To make it worse, my friends joined the same school's baseball club
and we competed in the prelim of Koshien,
but my school was totally defeated.
I was beyond mortified.
I was shocked that life was so unfair.
So, well...
I don't recommend you applying to the same school as your crush.
It'll be tough to move on if you aren't together anymore.
Thanks for your advice.
Good.
They say clipping nails at night
will make you not be present at your mum's deathbed.
Oh, I see!
It's your revenge on mum.
I revealed that they spent triple the amount on me to raise you,
so you clip your nails at night so that you won't be at mum's deathbed.
I don't believe that superstition.
No, this isn't right. You were the one who told me this.
Even if one isn't at their parents' deathbed,
do you think they'll blame themselves for clipping their nails?
I can't say they won't.
I've been believing this old wives' tale for over 20 years
and practicing it.
It's a restrictive superstition.
Restrictive?
Because that'd mean most office workers and students
can only cut their nails during daytime in the weekend.
They have no time to do it in the morning of weekdays
and can't do it at their office or school.
I had never thought about that.
Because you can cut yours freely during the day.
I see.
Why? Does it upset you so much that only you didn't know?
Not really.
That means you've become that person now.
That person?
When you were little, you were the one to deceive our parents, right?
I've never deceived them.
What? Do you remember how many times I had helped you?
Not at all.
What? What about the movie you went to in middle school?
- What movie? - You see...
You went to one on a date with a boy when you were 12 or 13 years old.
Oh, I remember now.
I said I'd go with a friend,
but Dad suspected it was a boy and didn't let me go.
So you brought me with you to deceive Dad, right?
Where did you go when we were at the cinema?
I played baseball with my friends at the park.
You came for me in the evening and told me the story again and again.
You even trained me on how the protagonist moved,
so that I'd look like I'd watched it when we were home.
That was horrible.
I didn't know the story of the film, but you made me run round the house.
What movie was it?
What? You're kidding me, right?
You don't remember what movie you watched on your first date?
I've left my past behind me.
What? What movie was it?
- You don't remember it either. - Because I didn't watch it.
I do feel guilty about that.
You know...
That guy was in it, right?
The famous guy, right?
I remember his face.
He's tall and thin...
He shaved his hair on the sides...
Wait...
- Tom Hanks! - Yes, Tom Hanks...
it wasn't "Big" or "Philadelphia"...
- Not "Philadelphia"? - Definitely not.
I'll remember it first.
Be quiet. You're distracting me.
You made me say I want to have prawns persistently.
There was table tennis.
You made me hold rackets in both hands.
It wasn't "Shrimp"...
it was something like "Fa" or "Fi"...
- I know! - I know!
- I got it first! - Count to three.
- One, two... - One, two...
- "Forrest Gump." - "Forrest Gump."
it feels so good!
That movie was great.
You dare say that? You didn't remember it at all.
"Philadelphia" was close.
Yeah, it was "Fo" and "Phi."
Why are you so excited?
We've been thinking what movie Ayako went to watch on her first date.
We remembered the actor's name, but not the title.
Why didn't you look it up on your phone?
Idiot, why would you not enjoy those fun things in life?
You only wasted your time.
Okay, fine, keep growing up to be a boring adult like that.
If you go the shortest way in the shortest time in life,
no interesting fruit will fall.
What interesting fruit?
Only those who don't use navigation or internet and rough it instead
will find their little reward.
What movie was it?
She's asking you.
"Forrest Gump."
I've heard of it.
The movie is quite old.
Maybe I'll watch it later.
I want to watch it again after so long.
- Mitsuru, rent a DVD. - Rent it yourself.
- But you have time. - What?
What do you two think I am?
- I'll go to bed. - You haven't answered.
Good night.
- Want some ginkgo? - Yeah.
Maybe I'll have a drink.
Fry them in a pan, then.
- Why? - You owe me one for the film.
It was too long ago!
Play rock paper scissors, then.
- Rock, paper, scissors... - Rock, paper, scissors...
I won!
You're so annoying!
Hey...
Do you know why I chose paper?
I mimicked Gump playing table tennis.
The smash of revenge after 20 years.
Shut up!
Why are you smiling?
- You told me to do this. - I'm mad at myself!

Good boy!
You're ignoring me?
"Chapter Ten, Champagne And Spare Key"
LIVE HOUSE 430
I've been doing it, but it doesn't feel right.
Is that...
Zutaboro's vocalist over there?
Why is he here?
Koyuki seems to get along with him.
I told her not to get close to him.
Every part of my body hurts after we moved here.
Maybe your futon and pillow aren't suitable.
But I've been using them at home.
I've been having weird dreams and don't get enough sleep.
Speaking of which, my jaw hurts too.
Mine too! Why?
You talk too much.
That's it.
Have you been talking that much?
It's his fault.
Nan, did you talk to Mitsuru so much before we came?
No, we almost didn't have any conversation.
It has to be Mitsuru's fault, then.
But I think Kouji has been looking healthier day after day.
He looks very happy after he came here.
Because he has Mitsuru on his side and they have a drink every night.
He said they'd have a drink today as well.
I can't let Mitsuru continue to do whatever he likes.
It's no use stopping him.
It'll only give us more trouble.
I've got an idea.
- Yay! - Yay!
Yay! it was brilliant.
I saw you coming in in the middle of the last song.
I knew the concert was good when I saw the customers' happy faces.
You only made two mistakes today.
It was three.
You had a sad and resigned look when you tried to cover up. it was good.
That look was unique.
Don't come again, you two.
Kou!
How are you?
- Highball, please. - Right away.
That's how you look in a suit.
- How are you? - Me?
I started a new band, but it doesn't work at all.
Tahara, nobody in this world can work well with you.
That's why I totally realised how great you are, Kou!
What?
Let's regroup Zutaboro again.
Are you kidding me?
Many people say they want to hear us play again...
I've already quit.
Leave me alone.
But Koyuki told me.
The guitar you couldn't part with is kept here at the bar.
I'm serious.
I'll call you later.
Well done, girls!
- Good evening! - It was great!
Thank you!
- It was very groovy. - Really?
Blimey.
How dare he suggest us to regroup.
I look forward to it, though.
- You aren't interested at all? - Of course I'm not.
But Mum told me,
when she told you Harumi dreamed of being a musician when she was small,
you looked very happy.
But being a musician again isn't an option for me.
I think you don't have to be so stubborn.
Exactly.
But even so, I wouldn't play with Tahara.
Oh! You said something more positive.
To be honest, I sometimes long to do it again.
Of course.
Nothing can replace the yearning for music.
You shouldn't be just playing blowgun with Mum at home.
Actually, it's quite fun.
Would you like more?
Right... I'll return this to you.
Oh, our owner would like me to ask you something.
Would you walk Kousuke for one more day tomorrow?
Not a problem at all.
She's back in Japan, but she's busy doing various things.
Does the owner do another business besides this bar?
She mainly runs beauty salons and an IT company,
but she's establishing a new temp agency.
She's very capable.
She can't live in that luxurious flat if she wasn't.
It's that luxurious?
It makes me not want to go home.
How many times did you have a drink after work this week?
I'm very sorry.
I'll make arrangements,
so that I won't have to go have drinks next week.
You said that last week.
What's wrong with having a drink at night? I made him go tonight too.
Talk to me if you want to complain.
Indeed.
You quit the music you like and work very hard,
so maybe I nag you too much.
- What? - That's not true.
I've been uninhibited since we came here, indeed.
No, this is my fault, so I'll pay attention.
Why? Did something happen?
These are yours.
Mum... Thanks for everything.
Did you buy a light bulb for the bathroom?
Oh, no! Sorry, I totally forgot about it.
But you can take a bath without it.
Yeah, that's true.
What?
The light from the changing space is enough.
We don't need any light bulb.
- To save energy. - Yeah.
What's wrong with you all? You're creeping me out.
What?
Isn't it nice?
He's cleaning your home.
Where's Ayako's family?
They went to see how much progress has been made on their house.
Maybe I'll renovate Bolt's home too.
Will you have supper at home tonight?
Yeah, I'll go out for a bit in the evening, but will be back soon.
Will you buy some oysters on your way home?
I want to make oyster miso hot pot.
- And the bathroom's light bulb? - Yes.
Is 1,000 yen enough?
- Give me 2,000 yen just in case. - Okay.
Mum, you guys have been acting weird since last night.
Weird? What is weird?
Usually, you'd say something back.
- You're all avoiding talking to me? - No, we aren't.
I'm talking to you as usual now.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, this paw too.
Okay.
Are you Mitsuru?
Yes.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Asuka Saegusa.
I'm Mitsuru Kishibe. Nice to meet you.
Sorry, I'm in my pajamas.
It's okay.
You... Were you here when I came just now?
I was sleeping, so I didn't realise you came.
I'll take care of him. Have a seat.
Come here, Kou!
Mr Kishibe walked you?
Go with Mummy tomorrow.
Kou!
- We're back. - Welcome back.
Oh, I'm starving!
Wait for a bit longer.
Mitsuru will bring some oysters home for us soon.
Mitsuru went shopping?
Yes, he went out in the evening and will be back soon.
I see.
I haven't had oyster hot pot for a long time!
I'll get some plates.
How was the house?
Most parts have been done.
Yeah? I can't wait to see.
It might take about six weeks to finish.
Is your new room good enough for doing revision?
I doubt it. I like my previous room more.
There you go again.
You can drink, right?
Yes, but I should go...
Mitsuru, how old are you?
I'm 31.
Just as I thought.
Just as you thought?
Kaisei only told me that I could trust you,
so I thought you were younger.
Why?
You took the job to walk my dog on such short notice.
I thought only a university student could do that.
Do you prefer someone younger?
No, I don't mean that. It's easier to talk to someone of the same age.
Yours.
Cheers.
- Want another glass? - No. Thanks for the champagne.
But I have to go.
Would you buy me something before you go?
I haven't got any food here.
Please.
It's fine, but...
Yes! Don't worry, I'll pay you to do so.
Okay.

CALLING
Should I go buy some oysters?
Let's wait a bit longer.
It'd be stupid if both of you buy them.
But the fishmonger will close.
We can use frozen chicken in the worst case.
I don't want that at all!
He's back.
Hey, you're late!
I had no idea you'd ask me to buy so many things.
To make things worse, all the shops were far away from each other.
Are you angry?
No, I'm not angry.
I'll put the change here.
Is that enough to pay for the job?
There isn't enough?
I don't want it.
Why?
You need money, right?
I don't need money.
If you don't,
would a man in his 30s walk someone else's dog for them?
I love animals, and I felt sorry for Kousuke.
That has to be a lie!
It's because
you're a lonely person who thinks only money can motivate people.
Then... Mitsuru, what motivates you?
I help people who need help. It's natural.
That means I don't have to pay you for walking Kou?
If you don't feel guilty about it, then why not?
- I'm totally okay with it. - You mean you don't want to pay?
Both are fine by me,
but not paying sounds more fun.
I really feel sorry for you.
You do?
You walked Kou for a whole week,
I'll feel sorry for you if you don't get paid.
Is it so fun to show and hide your money
to watch someone getting upset?
No, I just like to see men getting defensive gradually when I do so.
Does Kaisei know that you're a person like this?
What am I like?
I hurried back with food for you to enjoy them while they're hot.
But you didn't open any. instead, you complained and didn't pay me.
Does he know you're a total miser when he works for you?
I'm so sorry. Let's eat together, then.
I won't eat with you.
But I can't finish this alone.
I promised I'll be home for supper, so I'll go.
- Wait. - No need to pay me.
- Stay for a bit longer. - Good bye.
I thought you'd help someone who needs help?
You don't need any help, do you?
It's my birthday today.
What? No way!
I'll show you my driving license.
Please.
Would you just have dinner with me?
Chicken goes with it too.
I wish we could have oyster.
I'll make it again soon, so put up with this.
Where has he gone?
He went out in his sweatshirt, so he's probably walking someone's dog.
The dog's clothes costs 30,000 yen.
So expensive!
Is the person that rich?
The lady owns and runs several companies.
I heard she's gorgeous too.
How old is she?
I think she's 35.
She's that young?
She lives in a luxurious flat.
Mitsuru said it made him not want to go home.
Don't come back, then.
Mitsuru, you're right.
I am a lonely woman.
I don't actually think you're lonely.
You saw it, right?
I called lots of friends to my birthday party
and uploaded selfies to the social media website
to show people that my life is fulfilling.
That's how lonely I am.
Someone who's really lonely can't live in a beautiful flat like this.
I live alone in such a spacious flat,
but it makes me feel even lonelier.
If in a huge tank at an aquarium,
there is only one small sardine swimming, it has to be lonely.
You obviously aren't a sardine.
What am I, then? A mermaid?
- You think too highly of yourself. - This is my birthday!
I think I'm allowed to get a bit carried away.
Oh?
You're gradually looking more like a mermaid to me.
- No empty flattery. - What should I do, then?
Moreover...
if a single woman keeps a dog, it's harder for her to get married.
Don't worry, both you and Kou attract attention.
You'll meet someone fantastic and get married if you walk him.
Even if I meet someone... I'm a divorced woman.
My sister divorced once too, but she got married again.
But your sister must be a much nicer person.
Not at all! She's like you.
Strong-willed, has a sharp tongue,
and is self-centered.
A very successful, but awful woman, yet she got married again.
So you do think I'm awful.
People often misunderstand you,
but you are sensitive and lovely.
They'll know when they talk to you.
We've only met once, what do you know about me?
You want me to know, right?
You wanted me to listen to you, so you made me stay here.
Be more straightforward.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
No need to apologise.
It's the first time we met,
so I think maybe it's too early to tell you this, but...
I...
Kaisei rejected me.
That's absurd.
I was rejected by my employee. Can a woman be lonelier than that?
But he said you wouldn't be interested in him at all.
No, he feels sorry for me.
An employee younger than me rejected me,
and felt sorry for me.
How lonely is that?
But you didn't let your feelings affect you
and you didn't fire Kaisei.
This isn't easy.
I was the one to let my feelings affect me first.
I see. Yes, indeed.
Thanks for today.
And thank you for the dinner.
I'll give Kaisei the whole sum of your wage.
I'll put the key here.
Will you keep it?
I might ask you to walk Kou again.
All right.
Please lock the door for me.
Good night.
Happy birthday.
COFFEE SHOP POLARIS
Pass.
Oh? You are all here?
You stayed up and waited for me to come home?
Pass.
Have you been waiting for me to bring oysters home?
- Pass. - Pass.
I see.
To show me that you're angry,
you stay up to play cards and ignore me?
- I know you feel sleepy. - Pass...
- it must be tough. - Pass.
Pass.
Who's the Grand Millionaire now?
Pass.
Judging only by your looks,
it's poor, poor, poor, and extremely poor!
Sorry, I can't stay quiet.
Revolution!
It's bad for your health to keep quiet.
Exactly. We're a family, so we should be frank with each other.
Where are the oysters? We've been waiting.
I had something important to do, so I couldn't buy them.
What is more important than your family's meal?
To put it simply, I saved someone's life.
Don't lie!
Let's finish the game.
It's over!
But I started a revolution.
- And the bathroom's light bulb? - You don't need it, right?
You dropped by the convenience store!
I only bought some beer and snacks.
I don't really like expensive champagne.
You had champagne?
Yeah. I had no idea that the house was so small.
It's dark too.
If you want to complain, why don't you leave quickly?
Well, that's an option too.
You've got crabs!
It's too late now.
Harumi is more reliable today than usual.
Whether someone is a kept man or not
depends on whether the woman loves him or not.
So good.
- Will you sleep upstairs too? - What?
Riku Takahira came to Polaris today.
How do you feel about Harumi?
I've always loved her.
I won't give up until you form a band with me, Kou.
I guess this is what happiness is.
