"If Talking Paid"
What?
You said we'd have fried pork chop tonight. Why?
Sorry, I ran out of breadcrumbs, so I'll make it tomorrow.
But I've been in the fried pork chop mood since daytime!
- What's that? - I skipped lunch for it.
You want to have it so much?
I'll surely make fried pork chop tomorrow.
Bon appetit.
Don't pull a long face.
Bon appetit...
Mum, I haven't seen the fortune teller lately. What happened?
- You haven't? - Not even once since we came here.
Could he be ill?
Is he famous?
Mum sought his advice before she dated dad.
- He's been around for so long? - Yes, he has.
I had been considering another man,
but the fortune teller advised me to choose their dad.
She has always been a femme fatale.
How rude.
She promises us fried pork chop but doesn't make it!
You're still on that?
"Coffee Shop Polaris"
The old fortune teller has a slipped disc and is hospitalized.
Is he?
He sits outside every night and it hurts his back.
The gentleman who worked next to the rice shop?
- You've seen him? - Many times when I just moved here.
It's been nearly 40 years.
He'd always lived at the same flat and worn the same clothes.
He can predict other people's future but not his own.
Don't be rude! Or you'll be punished!
Yes.
You'll skip lunch today too?
I'm never hungry when I'm absorbed in a jigsaw puzzle.
Don't force yourself to finish it.
- Kouji. - Yeah?
You suddenly lost interest.
I wonder why. Maybe it's because I started playing bass guitar.
"Machine Guns' Talking Bazooka"
- They're here... - Oh, my gosh...
They're here...
- May we have your autograph? - Sure...
- What's your name? - It's Koki.
- Okay, there you go. - Thank you.
- May I shake your hand? Thank you! - Okay.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Kouji, which film in the Rocky series do you like?
It's hard to choose.
I love the training in icy mountains and the training cutback in IV.
I can have many glasses of beer watching it.
I think I like "Rocky III."
- Which features Mr. T? - Yes!
The guy who played B.A. in "The A-Team."
"Rocky III"? Kouji, you really are weird.
- Am I? - He isn't.
Your icy mountain...
People of their generation love Sylvester Stallone.
They talk about "Rocky" and "Rambo" like everyone has watched them.
He had been to our bar.
What? Sylvester Stallone?
The man looked like him, so I think he was.
Kaisei, you and your whoppers!
It's Kouji's bottle.
Let's order a new bottle.
It's okay, just have this.
After I move, I don't think I can come to have a drink so often.
- Thank you, then! - Thank you!
It's okay...
Stop searching for photos of Samba Carnival with the staff...
"Wave, Listen to Me"
And talk about it excitedly...
Why didn't you go to cram school?
- I took a day off. - Why?
You go on and on about your love for girls in college.
"Soft breadcrumbs"
NEET, NEET ls the fried pork chop ready?
I'm back.
- Where's Harumi? - What's the matter?
- Mitsuru, will you come? - No.
What are you doing?
Harumi doesn't want to go to high school.
- Why? - She wouldn't tell me.
Could it be about Riku Takahira again?
I don't think it is.
I'll let her talk to you alone. Please come.
- No. - Please!
Will you cut it out?
What's more important, pork chop or Harumi's future?
Pork chop!
Please, Mitsuru!
You can have my pork chop if you go.
I don't want that much.
I want to have it when it is just made!
Please!
You're such a nuisance!
Gosh...
No, the sauce... It's got sauce on it...
"Chapter Seventeen, Fried Pork Chop And Fortune Telling"
We think...
You can count on us!
The first message is from
Mirei, a 21-year-old lady and an office worker.
She is making efforts to get married...
What the heck?
Close the door.
You told me to come, then tell me to close the door.
Who do you think you are?
He doesn't look forward to our date...
It's something important.
In that case, isn't it more reasonable to come to see me?
I don't want to go to high school.
I know. I've heard. Tell me what's next.
Actually...
I want to be a radio presenter.
Radio presenter. Good. You can do it!
Wait, why won't you listen?
Can I have pork chop when I listen?
Is pork chop or my future...
- Pork chop! - You're awful!
I'd listen if it wasn't freshly made,
but it is, and I've been waiting since yesterday.
Who is outside?
Fine.
If you want to be a radio presenter, sell fried pork chop first.
- I am serious. - I'm serious too.
You can listen to your favourite radio when you work
if you want, you can read out your customer's postcards
and give them advice.
I am the one who wants to sigh!
In the few seconds you sigh,
the pork chop is getting worse!
Fine. Go and eat.
When did you start wanting to be a radio presenter?
I started to think seriously about it since the second semester.
If you want to be a radio presenter,
it won't be too late after you graduate high school.
Hey!
I thought you wouldn't say what everyone says.
You let me down.
Are you whining because you don't want to study for the exam?
No.
What will you do if you don't go to high school?
Study to become a professional radio presenter.
Studying for it won't make you a pro.
But going to high school will? No, right?
I have a clear goal, and I don't want to take a detour!
Don't look down on radio jockeys!
No, I don't.
You don't know how tough it is to compete using only your voice.
- I do. - News presenters can cover up
their mistakes with their beauty, but jockeys can't.
Their world is tough.
So I want to aim for it as soon as I can.
Moreover, your voice is the most mediocre.
So I'll train and polish it now!
I want to study professionally!
Hiromitsu Ochiai won the Triple Crown in baseball three times,
but he worked at a bowling alley before he turned pro.
Koji Uehara had 100 wins and 100 saves throughout his career,
but he had failed his university entrance exam once.
So what?
Aiming to be a pro right after you graduate middle school
isn't the shortcut to success!
But pro sumo wrestlers who graduated college don't do that well.
Those who aim to be wrestlers after graduating middle school
are more successful.
- It isn't about sumo. - You talked about baseball.
If you don't go to high school,
how do you talk to the listeners
about high school life or give advice to high school kids?
Just talk to them as someone who didn't go to high school.
People who can't go to high school can feel closer to me,
so it'll be an advantage.
- It's an unwanted advantage. - Why?
When young actors or comedians come as guests,
they talk about the naughty things they did,
like they were suspended in high school,
or their high school expelled them.
If you didn't go to high school, their story will sound dull,
and you'll seem naughtier than them.
Listeners don't care about the presenter's academic history.
All right, then.
I've been listening to the radio for 20 years,
so I'll check whether you're cut out to be a presenter or not.
How?
Don't peek.
It's a simulation test.
Josei has a broadcasting club.
They competed at a national competition.
What do they compete in a national competition?
Maybe if they can read a manuscript correctly or not?
When Kouji went to a radio show with Zutaboro,
he couldn't stop his hiccups.
It was a live broadcast and it was like hell!
You couldn't stop them?
Our vocalist Tahara shouted and helped me stop it,
but my nose started to run.
It was chaotic.
The assistant laughed so hard that she couldn't keep the show going.
The director scolded her harshly between songs,
I felt really guilty.
Our next message.
It is from Bolt's Dad,
- a 31-year-old jobless man... - Wait... I didn't write "jobless."
"Good evening, Harumi."
Good evening.
- You greet back? - Shut up.
Start from the beginning.
The message is from Bolt's Dad.
"Good evening, Harumi.
I couldn't find a job for six years and I'm worried.
What should I do to find a job?"
This is the message I got.
If you cannot decide yourself,
why don't you try to do a job recommended by people you know?
Okay, you failed.
It's not fair! You intended to say no!
Not at all.
Tell me why I failed, then.
First, the name I wrote was "Bolt's Dad,"
so you should say "Mister Bolt's Dad."
You set me a trap!
It's basic.
Many people omit honorifics to make themselves more approachable.
Not only that.
The person has been looking for a job for six years,
but I didn't feel any sympathy from you.
"It must have been tough," "You've been working hard."
I wish you could say kind words like that more naturally.
I can't, because I know you in person.
You make excuses like that, so you can't do it.
A test like this can't convince me at all.
You know,
I think radio presenter is a wonderful job.
Computer, smartphone and video websites are their domain.
Honestly, your spirit aiming to be a radio presenter makes me happy.
- Thank you. - No need to thank me.
The job won't let your complicated family environment go to waste,
and I really want to cheer for you.
However,
I want you to be one after you gain more experience.
When you started to run a coffee shop,
you quit university and didn't wait for graduation.
You quit because you thought the time was right.
Yes.
I want to aim for it now too.
The time is right now.
I hope you understand why I don't go to high school.
Unlike you and mum, academic background isn't important now.
- Do you understand? - Of course I do,
but I didn't start right after I quit university.
I worked very hard to save money to open the shop.
Like the way I saved the capital,
you should save some experience too.
There really are experiences that you can only gain in high school.
Make friends, fall in love,
study, enjoy life and get hurt.
There are experiences in high school you need to gain.
If you say you want to be a radio presenter without these experiences,
you're lying.
Don't you think?
Mitsuru, you can talk a lot about other people's lives.
Why do you get lost when it comes to your own?
Is it possible that I'm more cut out to be a radio presenter than you?
I've decided to go to high school.
Sorry for causing you trouble.
This is a school that you're able to attend,
and it has a broadcasting club.
If you're so serious about it,
you can go to a vocational school when you go to high school.
I can ask my friends
to introduce you to people who work at radio stations.
Let's talk when we have supper.
Indeed.
- Let's reheat the pork chop. - Wait a minute!
You want to make me eat fried pork chop that isn't freshly made?
I'm sorry, okay?
Fried pork chop is the best when it's freshly made.
But it's as awful as stir fried beansprouts when it isn't.
What do you want, then?
Indeed, fried pork chop is a bit heavy at this time.
Because you had lots of peanuts.
It's 10 o'clock, of course you'd be hungry.
Let's go and have ramen, then!
I'll use the pork chop to make rice bowls tomorrow.
Let's do that.
Harumi, it's your day off tomorrow, so you can stay up a bit late.
Guys, hurry up. Rairaiken closes at ten.
Let's hurry!
Okay.
"Fortune telling"
"Rairaiken Chinese Cuisine"
The fortune teller was there.
Maybe his back is healed.
Is he famous?
People here say his readings are accurate.
Are they?
Ayako went to see him before she married Kouji.
You didn't tell me.
Unlike mum, I didn't follow what the fortune teller said.
It was only for reference.
What did he say?
It would be tough more or less, but I would have a happy family.
- It's accurate. - Is it?
I want my fortune told too!
Mitsuru and Kouji are at a loss in life too. Why don't you go together?
- I won't go. - No, thank you.
Why?
If I listen to him, I'll be affected too much.
Yeah, he nearly went to a cult meeting when things were bad.
It was a long time ago.
Go with Ayako.
- Let's go. - Yeah.
- I'll ask him about our new house. - You should.
Who ordered ramen?
We all did.
I'll give Mrs Kishibe first.
Then the young lady.
Dig in.
- Bon appetit. - Bon appetit.
There you go.
I haven't had it for so long!
- Bon appetit. - Bon appetit.
It's nice and light.
Sir, you forgot one.
Right away.
It is from a lady who works at a care facility.
"A 90-year-old man that I look after proposed to me the other day.
I thought he was joking, so I laughed and turned him down,
but he started to cry
and threw yogurt at me.
I think I hurt him and I feel sorry for what I did."
This is the message we got.
It must have been tough.
This was a long time ago, so I can talk about it now.
When I was in my third year in high school,
a 75-year-old man asked me to date him very seriously,
and I turned him down.
Then he beat my face with his stick and broke my nose.
It's a fond memory now,
but I worried about it a lot at that time.
Come to think of it, no matter how old a person is...
I haven't got enough experience.
Right?
- What are you talking about? - Nothing.
- Sir, is it ready? - In a bit.
Is there a kotatsu in your new house?
No, floor heating.
So dull.
To help the Roomba clean smoothly,
we'll only place a few pieces of furniture.
Is the kotatsu on "strong"?
Whoa! It's on "weak" again!
It's Ayako.
She only does what's uncalled for.
Doesn't the fortune teller look like dad?
No, not at all.
We're back.
It's freezing!
Welcome back.
- Welcome back. - Welcome back.
How was it?
He said something nice to Harumi and she's happy.
What is it?
He said she was cut out for jobs that require talking.
He said that out of the blue. I'm impressed!
Who knows if it's accurate?
- It is. - It is, right?
What about the house?
We asked him about Mitsuru, then...
Don't peek at my fortune without asking!
What did he say?
I only asked him to tell me about my brother’s job, then...
What? Don't put on airs!
The man said he didn't get along with his boss,
so he should change jobs next year.
What the heck?
It isn't accurate at all!
Maybe he thought my brother couldn't be jobless.
Exactly. He deceived you.
I was so disappointed after hearing that,
and forgot to ask about the house.
Wait a minute...
But he's totally correct if he was talking about me.
- Indeed. - Don't agree with him.
It's me if he looked a bit away at the people around Ayako.
A bit away, what's that mean?
He saw two men vaguely in his crystal ball,
and he made a mistake and looked at me.
I've never seen anyone try to make a prediction accurate.
And he didn't have his fortune told.
I think Kouji is right.
You want yours to be accurate, so you're desperate to back him up.
I know what he said was true.
Yes, believe that it's true and work hard for it.
I want to ask which school I should go to.
Don't rely on him too much. You should make efforts yourself.
Okay.
Whose foot is this?
Hey! Don't touch me!
Draw it up a bit more!
You pulled the cloth towards your side too much.
The kotatsu is too small for five people.
Our house will have floor heating?
The reason that makes your family quarrel.
- Is it? - It's a lie, of course.
Mitsuru has a new theory that kotatsu is
the secret weapon that makes the world peaceful.
I'll be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 10 years later.
You fight if the kotatsu is too small.
It's more peaceful to have floor heating.
We aren't pork braised in a slow cooker.
Warming our legs is enough.
Do you have to talk about braised pork?
He'll die if he stops saying anything unnecessary.
Anyway, isn't it colder now?
It has to be Ayako again. See?
Why do you make it weak?
My legs feel itchy if it's too hot.
- Don't get in the kotatsu. - But it's cold.
- Nan, have you got honewort? - No, I don't think so.
You already worry about tomorrow's rice bowl?
Honewort makes the dish taste totally different.
I know, like the small amount of citron added to Ozoni.
Yes, that.
Kouji and Harumi understand each other. How unusual!
It's the magic of kotatsu. Understand?
Shut up.
"Coffee Shop Polaris"
Okay.
Are you happy now?
Very happy.
"Coffee Shop Polaris"
Can we do this as our job?
Wouldn't it be best if I can earn money by solving jigsaw puzzles?
Indeed.
I hope there's a job where I can earn 10 yen per puzzle piece.
And get 30,000 yen for a 3,000 pieces one?
I'd be happy even if I get a bit less than that.
- There's something similar. - Is there?
Some people build something great with Lego and it's a job.
But it's in the field of creators or artists.
Is it?
If you make a living by solving puzzles,
you'll either do it very quickly or blindfold yourself when you do it.
I think people want to see it like a stunt.
I've been thinking about what I don't hate doing,
but none of them is directly related to a job.
For example?
I don't hate talking to people and making people happy.
There are many jobs that fulfill those two requirements.
But there are so many that I don't know what to choose.
Can't you try them one by one?
Somehow when I look at them, none of them feel right.
Maybe you can sort them and try the one you don't hate most.
No?
"I don't hate: Talking to people, making people happy, reading"
Do we need so many?
We'll take the unused ones back on the day you move. Don't worry.
See you next week.
Sure. See you.
Thank you.
I want to throw away all the unwanted things before we move.
Is there anything you want to sell?
Nothing.
Will you help tomorrow? It's just me and mum.
Why won't Kouji go?
He'll instal the curtains and stay to let the furniture movers in.
So how much?
- What? - Don't ask me what.
You want my help, so you have to pay.
Five percent of the sales.
Why a percentage of the sales?
I need your motivation.
Even the consumption tax is 10 percent, five is too low.
I'll pay you 10 percent.
Consumption tax in France is 20 percent.
Shut up! It's 10 percent!
See you tomorrow.
Anything you can sell?
The tajine here?
It's 300 yen, I guess.
It's new, I think it can be sold for 1,000 yen.
It isn't that easy.
In the end, even you can't do it.
Can't do what?
Get Mitsuru to find a job before you move.
His stubbornness is beyond my imagination.
You bluffed and said you'd surely find him a job and kick him out.
I am sorry.
I didn't get my hopes up in the first place.
What will you do after we leave?
What will I do?
Just return to the life we had before you came.
I was surprised when I saw you here. What's the matter?
You talked to me the other day,
but I turned you down rudely over the phone.
So I feel guilty about it.
Don't worry about it.
I'll say it again.
I am sorry that I can't help.
You said the other day
that I'm clinging to it because I'm scared to quit,
so I thought about it seriously, which I don't usually do.
I just got a bit emotional that day.
I didn't mean what I said at all.
Even so, I wanted to continue.
I want to cling to it of my own free will.
That's fine.
You aren't who you are if you don't play music.
And you? You really won't do it?
I've joined...
a band formed by the guys in a neighbourhood association.
Oh, have you?
Music is fun if you don't need to be popular.
Will I ever believe that?
Let's form a band again when we have both grown old.
Yeah. Cheers.
"Bar Clutch"
How was the concert?
It was great. They played Zutaboro's songs too.
I'm jealous of people who work using their inborn talent.
Tahara isn't making a living playing music.
Kouji, you too.
There was a period of time when you could make a living from it.
But at the end of the day, I’m jobless in my 40s.
- I'll give you another glass. - Thanks.
Mitsuru, I think you have a talent you can make a living with.
Tell me what it is! What is it?
- Yes! - Yes?
I'm always impressed when I listen at home.
You're very talented at finding faults and quibbling.
I agree with you.
People around me say it so often
that I'd actually thought about making it my job.
What? To find faults?
You had talked about it, right?
Politicians and company leaders are surrounded by flatterers
and they're worried that they can't hear the truth.
- It's what gossip magazines say. - So,
they go to clubs and pay dominatrices a lot to scold them.
There really are many politicians like that.
How do you know?
Please continue.
The elites are surrounded by yes-men and I'll deny everything they say,
or find faults with them.
I think a job like their home tutor is in demand.
You think about that when you're jobless for too long.
He even talks about it specifically like giving out leaflets
at high-end residential areas.
I wonder what I'd be doing if I actually did it.
- Nothing, I guess. - I know.
But if you had done it,
maybe you'd have other choices.
What other choices?
You see, Mr Morozumi invited me and I joined
the neighbourhood association's band.
I wasn't interested at first.
But after I went reluctantly, I had more fun than I thought.
And the band members
also brought me a new job opportunity.
Wow, isn't it great?
Aside from whether I can find a job or not,
if you go to a new place, new paths will appear one by one.
"Coffee Shop Polaris"
- Call me when your exam is over. - Okay.
- What's the matter? - Well...
Why didn't it occur to me yesterday?
What didn't?
The job that Mitsuru wants to do is right there.
What is it?
The Diet member's secretary.
The one you were turned down?
It's what Mitsuru said yesterday.
He had thought about working for politicians or company leaders.
But will he do it?
I will make him.
Maybe the vacancy's been filled.
Should I ask Mr Danno?
Yes, please.
Can we get rid of the bulky burden before we move?
Yo!
"Chapter Eighteen, Ramen And Flea Market"
"Flea Market"
"Price negotiable"
Three hundred yen, please.
- There you go. - A moment, please.
Thank you.
- I'll have these. - Okay.
Three tops. 8,000 yen, please.
Thank you.
Isn't it cheap?
"3000 yen"
it didn't fit and I had only worn it once.
It's marked as 3,000, but will 2,500 yen do?
Yeah.
It's a designer coat.
How much is it?
5,000 yen? It's fur, right? It's reasonable!
It is, right?
"5,000 yen"
Please come and have a look.
Please have a look!
We've sold a lot.
I enjoy it so much that I'll get addicted.
Guys, did you mark the price low on purpose?
What do you mean?
You want to pay me less.
I didn't think about making any profit to begin with.
What?
I think I could've sold the tajine at 1,000 yen too.
Three hundred yen was the right price.
They should have a fair price.
If you sell things very quickly,
that means they're too cheap and you're taking a loss.
I don't want anything left because it's expensive.
People buy your cheap things and resell them at a higher price.
Do they?
Shut up, the clothes are mine, I can sell them at a price I like.
Think before you set the price!
Welcome!
- Hello. - Hello.
Mitsuru, you've never met him before, right?
Nice to meet you.
Hello, I am Danno.
Thank you for dinner the other day.
No, I should be the one to apologise for Kouji's job hunting.
Don't worry about it.
But I'm so glad that Mitsuru is interested in the job.
I talked to Tomotake.
He was very interested and wanted to meet Mitsuru.
He hasn't found anyone?
Glad to hear that!
What are you talking about?
You're interested in being a Diet member's secretary?
- Yes, he is. - No.
Working with a Diet member has always been his dream.
Don't talk without me.
Mr Tomotake wants a spirited young man
who's the exact opposite of Kouji!
It's the perfect job for you!
I didn't say I was interested.
He wants someone a bit cheeky, just like Mitsuru.
Mitsuru will make his life very exciting.
Will you cut it out?
Have you met the chairman?
Is he here?
I'll go with you.
We look forward to hearing from you.
- This way, please. - Okay.
What is your plan?
You have no intention to work, so we arranged it for you.
- Don't do something uncalled for! - What are you unhappy about?
I'm not interested in being a Diet member's secretary.
You had thought about working with politicians.
It was years ago and I wasn't serious.
Why do you run away?
I'm not running.
He wants you as impudent as you are now.
My point is, I don't want to work as a Diet member's secretary!
Have the interview and turn him down if you don't like it.
But if I do, he'll think I'm interested and it'll be rude.
Stop making excuses.
I'm not. I don't need to.
I've got all the reasons lined up for rejecting it, right here.
How highly do you think of yourself?
- Highly? - You said I set the price wrong,
but you totally overestimated yours.
I priced myself at only 500 yen, is it expensive or cheap?
Mr Tomotake wants to pay 5,000 yen for you, who's worth only 500 yen.
Why would you turn down such a great offer?
I won't complain if I get 500 yen.
But if he wants to buy me, he has to come here.
- What? - Like Rairaiken's ramen,
the price is frozen at 500 yen, but they don't do delivery.
You want Mr Tomotake to come and meet you?
That's what Rairaiken does.
Whether it's a CEO or the Prime Minister, if they want ramen,
they have to eat it at the diner, but it only costs 500 yen.
And I'm telling you to quibble over it in front of Mr Tomotake!
See whether he likes you or not!
But it will be delivery service.
The noodles will be soggy, the soup will be cold.
The faults I find will be dull and my quibbling will be slow.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Do you not want to work that much?
No matter how much I can earn, I won't do delivery service.
I only want you to eat it while it's hot.
Please understand, ma'am!
Ouch!
Riku Takahira is here.
Tell Ayako I'm leaving.
- Why? - Difference in our directions.
It's good!
Welcome!
- One pork bun, please. - Okay.
- Two, please. I'll pay. - Certainly.
Mitsuru?
- I'll buy. - Have you got money?
You're as rude as ever.
Thank you.
We're selling clothes worn by Harumi when she was little.
Won't I be a pervert if I buy them?
Isn't it what you're looking for when you came?
My hobby is to look for old records at flea markets and antique fairs.
Wow, that's creepy.
Sorry, I lied.
Are you in a bad mood? Talk to me if you don't mind.
That's what makes middle school girls develop a crush on you.
Did I say something wrong?
Do you still not get along with your dad?
Well...
It's a bit better.
Isn't it great?
My mum happened to be out one afternoon,
and he made me instant noodles.
It was strangely delicious.
I guess that's important.
That small matter made me realise that I'm capable of forgiving.
Then, strangely...
Did you tell him it was good?
You have a long way to go.
Thanks for the pork bun.
All right, pay me back when you can.
"Bar Clutch"
- Okay. - Yeah.
Hello.
Hey. Where did we put the Christmas tree last year?
It was too big and blocked the way, so it was at the loo's corridor.
I see.
I thought there was no space to put it. So that's why?
Yeah.
Has Mitsuru been coming for drinks lately?
Yes, less often than before, but he comes from time to time.
Yeah? Glad to hear that.
He values what you said to him, Asuka.
Does he?
Maybe our meeting meant something, then.
But he still can't get himself to take any action.
Good lord, what should we do about him?
Children, hold the handrail.
- Good. - Hold tightly.
- It'll bump again.
One, two...
Okay.
- It's fun. - Okay.
I'll have one, please.
A moment, please.
"Rice"
- Good afternoon. - Oh, hello!
- I'll bring it here now. - Okay.
"Life Courier"
- We'll go down the step. - Okay.
- Freezing, isn't it? - It is.
Let's put your hands in it.
Okay. Thank you.
Do you envy the working people so much?
No, I thought working on a Sunday was tough.
If you take it too easy and get too picky,
you'll miss your chance.
I am not being picky.
You'll be a gloomy old man like me.
No, please give me a break.
The kitchen is bigger now.
I spent a lot on it.
How was the flea market?
We sold many things.
Everything Ayako had was good to begin with.
What...
Gosh, be careful!
What do you think? It's easier to do revisions here, right?
I like the previous room.
You still say that?
"Bar Clutch"
Why do you sit there today?
I just feel like it.
Asuka was sitting there until two hours ago.
Are you joking?
Why do you move?
I think it's haunted by her spirit.
You really are rude.
I'll make it the living room until you come.
A new house is nice.
You want to move here, don't you?
I do.
Mitsuru is hopeless.
He is a real scumbag.
I was an idiot to expect anything from him.
But we can't abandon a family member, right?
You'd better change the way you think.
Depending on the chance,
things could've turned better, but not now.
Now I know very well that he just doesn't want to work.
You'll be a Diet member's secretary?
It's impossible, right?
But you'd reject it more if it was an ordinary job.
If you think carefully, it's a job that's highly specialized.
But is this right?
It was a job offered to Kouji at first,
then he offered me the job because Kouji wasn't suitable.
It bothers you?
Moreover, it isn't the answer I found myself.
I've been searching for six years,
yet end up doing a job arranged by someone.
Isn't it embarrassing?
You couldn't find the answer yourself. What can you do?
I don't know whether this is the answer I've been looking for.
I don't feel the excitement I had when I started the coffee shop.
Like the overwhelming confidence, that this is my unique expertise!
But coffee shop isn't the answer.
Well, it isn't.
Mitsuru, you're like
a high school boy who still thinks about his first love
in primary school.
No romance in your life will be better than your first love.
Jobs you think you're uniquely qualified for are rare.
It's no use continuing to look for the same feeling.
You should realise that now.
Of course I realise that. That's why I'm at a loss on what to do!
Have you told him Asuka's message?
What message?
Actually, the bar owner wants me to tell you a message.
What?
And it's just two words.
It can only be those two words.
- Right? - Right?
No. No way!
Yes, it is.
Koyuki, tell him.
What? I can do this important job?
I think a lady should say them.
Then, think of Asuka when you listen.
Do it.
What?
Just two words.
Do it.
Do it now.
Just do it.
Stop teasing me.
It is true.
It's really those two words.
You're having fun.
The bill, please.
Have a drink with me.
I'm in a bad mood.
What happened?
Wait. Why? Why do you sit there?
Why can't I?
Gosh!
Do it.
Welcome back.
Hang on.
Have you started a delivery service?
Yes, since yesterday.
You're kidding me.
Hello, Rairaiken.
We have a delivery service now.
"In response to customers' requests, we have started a delivery service"
"It's the final episode in the blink of an eye"
NEET, NEET, dawn hasn't come yet?
"The last supper before moving out"
Strike, batter out!
