Let's break up.
What's wrong suddenly? I don't understand.
I just don't love you.
1 year has passed since then.
Good morning, Haru-tan.
For some reason, I was living together with the chief.
[1 year earlier]
After I had broken up with Maki,
we hardly talked with each other in the company except about work.
- Maki, listen... - Sorry, I have a meeting now.
I went to group dates for relaxation, but didn't find a new romance.
I'm sorry! When I noticed, it was already this late.
This way, slowly and gradually
I returned to my old bad habits.
The chief couldn't bear to see me like this
and began to come to my house from time to time.
What a mess. How can this happen?
Chief, Chief, you really shouldn't...
No, it's alright. Just sit down, Haru-tan.
First once a month, then once a week...
Add a lot of olive oil and ready is the miso!
Okay!
- Then once every 3 days... - It's pretty dirty, this bath!
By the way, this must be washed, right?
- Wash it, Haru-tan! - Yes.
And before I noticed,
me and the chief were living together.
You can do it if you try, can't you?
[Present]
Good morning!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Good morning!
- Morning. - Good morning!
- Good morning. - Morning!
I'm not sure whether my current way of living is right.
But thanks to the chief,
little by little I came to grips with my life
and even at work I noticed that I made one step up.
- Here please. - Okay.
Somehow you're lively recently, aren't you?
So?
And Maki and me...
Haruta-san, the chief called for you earlier.
Alright. Thank you.
we simply...
Hot! Hot!
returned to our former senior-and-junior relationship.
- Excuse me. - Come in.
Chief?
The Development Division at headquarters will devise a new project
and asked if you wanted to join their team.
For a new project? Why me?
Apparently, your business results in the last months
caught the attention of the higher-ups.
What will you do?
Will you accept?
Yes... Yes! Of course! Sure!
- There's just one problem. - Yes?
The location of this project
is Shanghai.
- What will you do? - I accept.
Shanghai?
Right. It was a sudden decision and I'm totally surprised.
Looks like I will have to depart sometime next month.
I see.
Hey! You will be transfered to Shanghai? Congratulations!
The information has got around quickly, huh?
What will you do with the chief? Breaking up?
How shall I put it, me and the chief, we are not dating.
Even though you're living together, it's purely platonic?
There are rumours that Chief Kurosawa will go into early retirement.
I'm home!
What's this? Wedding?
And... "I'd like to have a taxi to Shanghai station."
"Thank you very much. You've helped me a lot."
Haru-tan, "Manda"! Haru-tan.
The early retirement, is it because of this?
Dear God,
loving someone, what the heck does that mean?
Chief,
thank you very much for going shopping with me today.
Preparing for a move is hard work, isn't it?
What would you like to order?
- I'll take the lasagne. - 1 lasagne.
For me 1 set of cheese hamburger.
Cheese hamburger...
- What's that, what's that? - Cheese hamburger...
What?
What's this?
What's up, what's up?
- What is this? - I have no idea.
What's that, what's that?
- Seems they're participating. - Indeed.
No, not me, not me. Not me. No thanks.
- No, no, no.... no. - No, no, not me!
- No, no, no, no! - Haru-tan, give your best!
Bravo!
What's this now? Hey, Chief! Chief!
Chief... Chief?
Huh? Chief? Chief!?
What? What's this?
What's this?
Great!
What is this? What?
Michael?
It's Michael!
What's going on here?
Please
marry me!
I'm begging you!
Yes... well,
if you want me.
Oi! What am I saying! Oi!
Haru-tan...
And this event
was immediately announced at the morning meeting the next day.
Wedding? Congratulations!
I don't know myself how it happened!
Wedding? With whom?
- With the chief. - The chief?
"The chief", you say? Your chief?
You talk to loudly! Really, your voice is too loud!
And, who of you will wear the wedding dress?
The chief!?
Me!?
- No, no, no, no! - Don't be stupid.
Both of you can wear a tuxedo.
Say, if you earnestly think about it,
can you marry a person of the same sex or not?
I think for the time being there are things like a Partnership Declaration.
Besides, aren't you at liberty to hold the ceremony?
I see. That's how it is. So it is, isn't it?
The chief would want a formal framework for his love, don't you think?
I guess so.
What formal framework!
Good evening.
I'll be back.
I'm free for you, Mai-Mai.
Mai-Mai?
Those two are dating.
You did it, Maika-san!
Well, if he got married that way,
as his sister I'd feel somehow relieved.
- Chizu, Chizu, Chizu, Chizu... - What?
Marriage,
- what is that? - No idea.
Well... At my times, marriage was a matter of course,
but we didn't think deeply about its meaning.
Before you fell too much in love, you were married, right?
- Maro, you're such a child, aren't you? - No, no, no, no...
Another drink.
At the time when I married, I didn't know,
but after the divorce
I recognized that what I was missing
was that man at my side.
I will fill this hole.
No, no, no, no. Maro, you're not the one who could do that.
- Why? - No, no, no, no.
The chief
and Haruta-san are going to marry.
So?
Isn't that good?
I hope this man will find his true happiness.
Then, till next time and thank you very much.
Take good care of yourself in Shanghai.
Yes. Toshie-san, take good care of yourself too, okay?
- Maki-kun, I'm looking forward to good cooperation. - Yes!
Persons I have a long relationship with...
Is yet another one of them in the vicinity?
- I will inform the others over the phone. - Yes.
But... shouldn't we visit as many as possible?
I think the customers would feel more at ease
and it would help me too.
Are you serious?
Okay.
Then...
You don't have to hurry with the take-over. There's still time.
Well, not that much.
- Is it really good? - What do you mean?
Is it good to let Haruta go like this?
This is not a question of good or not. It's his job.
- I guess it's not good. - It's not my business.
As long as you act like this,
as long as you don't get things straight with Haruta,
I can't give up on you!
If you're willing to withdraw for the happiness of your partner,
it's a weak love song, isn't it?
It's not such a neat thing, love.
Haru-tan!
Yes!
In the chief's swift way
the preparations for the ceremony were conducted without delay.
Generally, a lot of flowers make a nice view, right?
Yes.
And then... ah, that's right...
On each table I want a balloon.
That would be wonderful, wouldn't it? Okay.
- Haru-tan. - Yes.
How many guests shall we invite?
- 80? 120? - No, no...
Not that many. By far not that many.
- And, the seating plan must be nice too. - Yes.
- And, we need a welcome board, right? - Yes, certainly.
There's a lot to be organized, isn't it?
My own feelings did not yet welcome these things
and I wondered how I should tell this the chief.
- Is this the marriage blues? - What's with you?
Well, somehow I just don't get it.
This strange surrounding must have made me dizzy.
You must make your decision
before you give your okay, right?
My okay? I gave it.
My okay? I gave it, didn't I? Yeah, I did.
Listen. You have already accepted everyone's congratulation.
Right... sorry.
Excuse me, I heard
you will go into early retirement, Chief. Excuse me, I heard
Does this mean you will accompany him to Shanghai? Excuse me, I heard
I was unsure for a moment, Excuse me, I heard
but I've decided to stay in Tokyo.
As before... no, I should say more than before,
I have the intention to get this sales office going together with all of you.
- Please give me your support! - Yes!
Go on, Kurosawa!
Yeah!
Then, let's say "Cheers!" again!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Then, let me sing you a drinking song!
- Yeah, Brother Tetsuro! - It's Teppei!
- That's wrong! - It's not wrong!
Hey, what are you doing, bastard~
Maki-kun!
It will soon be tomorrow. I have a meeting at headquarters in the morning
and I'm not yet finished sorting the material I've taken over.
- Besides of that... - I haven't said anything yet.
It's hard, right? Seeing those two.
Of course not. We've broken up 1 year ago already.
For me, it was hard.
I was sure Haruta-san and you would date after that.
A little I thought so myself.
But since Haruta and me would inevitably become incompatible someday,
I decided to marry a perfect, young, good-looking butler.
- Don't laugh! - No...
It's hard...
Then, why did you break up?
Because I love him.
If you truly love someone,
don't you want to make this person happy?
When I considered things like family, the eyes of the public, and many more,
I became scared to drag him into this.
Amazing...
No.
In the end, I only run away before I could get hurt myself.
I'm not such a good guy.
That's not true.
Haruta! What's that with the chief!
What's that with the marriage!
You're too weak to press the button, you fool!
Chizu-san, say something too.
I will do something to forget you!
And this deadly insult!
Is that all?
And... your habit of walking as if your legs were too long!
It's true! You have a weird body!
- You really have! You do have! - When will you ever learn discipline!
Stop kidding me!
- Fool! - Right!
Even if you came back crying, I wouldn't care!
Go overseas and drop dead there, idiot!
Say, Maki-kun...
At last,
shouldn't you properly tell Haruta?
That you still love him.
I don't want you to regret it, not on any account!
Please listen. "Butterfly Baby".
- Yeah, a masterpiece! - Yeah.
Choko-san!
What's with you suddenly?
Still,
the one in Maki's heart is you.
I was dumped by him.
Because he thought of you, right?
He's that kind of guy.
No, no, no, such a thing at that point of time...
Honestly, how is it with the chief?
Do you love him?
Sure, I do love him.
What's the point of that?
I see.
I'd like to talk with you tomorrow.
I will be waiting at 7 o'clock at Seaport Park.
Maki?
[Haruta's evening curry]
Well, Haruta-kun, good luck.
-Thank you very much. -Thank you very much.
With this, the take-over should be okay, right?
Really, you're popular, aren't you, Haruta-san?
- No, I'm not. - Well,
all I hear is "Haruta, Haruta".
Almost everyone calls you by your given name.
I'm slightly jealous.
But Haruta is my family name.
It's not "Such-and-such Haruta".
What are you saying?
What? What?
- Soichi? - Soichi.
- I had no idea! - Of course you knew!
- Hey, wait, wait! - You, really!
Oi, what did you think was my name!
- Don't take me for a ride! - No, I didn't know! Really!
Haruta-kun, it's urgent! They want you to come to Abbercourt Mansion!
Yes, yes. Yes, alright.
Mai-Mai, did you know that his name was Soichi?
- You knew! - No, I didn't.
Half past 6...
Hey... hey! Are you alright?
- What happened? - It hurts...
It hurts? Wait a moment.
Wait! Wait a moment, okay? Huh? Where's my handy?
[Maki Ryota]
Can this be true...
Are you a family member?
No, I just happened to pass by.
I see. We can't contact her son.
And... how is her condition?
Excuse me. Yes!
Sorry, it has become late!
She has regained consciousness. This way please.
Excuse me! Are you the one who saved my mother?
No, I just passed by incidentially.
Please allow me to visit you and show my gratitude.
- No, that's absolutely not necessary. - How can I contact you?
No, it's alright. Please take good care of her.
My best wishes.
Why do such things always happen to me?
I'm home!
Chief!
Dear Haru-tan,
today may be the last day
when I call you Haru-tan.
Because from tomorrow on I will feel like Haruta Musashi,
and that means I'll be a Haru-tan as well.
No, let's leave the name aside now.
Haru-tan, your straightforwardness and craziness,
your kindness and honesty,
your craziness, cuteness, your way of wolfing down,
these crazy and cute sides are what I love so much.
He says "crazy" so often.
Thanks to you, both professionally and privately it was a very fulfilling year.
I love you, Haru-tan.
I love you very, very much.
And finally,
being
your partner
makes me happy.
I'm so nervous.
Shall I take you in my arms?
Don't worry, don't worry.
- It's alright. - Yes... yes.
The ceremony is only for 2 people.
Relax.
Relax!
- I'm alright. - Are you alright now?
- Yes, I'm alright. - Well then...
Kurosawa Musashi-san, Haruta Soichi-san,
do you swear to live together as partners for life,
to love and respect you,
to comfort and mutually help you
until death do you part?
- I swear. - I swear!
Then, seal your vow with a kiss.
Seal your vow with a kiss.
Haru-tan.
Before God we cannot lie, can we?
A kiss that's not honest won't make me happy.
Chief...
I... I...
It's alright. I understand.
I'm so sorry.
Go now.
Maki took a holiday starting today and will go on a trip for a while.
Trip?
He said it's an evening flight so you can still make it.
Go now.
But... after this...
Don't worry.
I've cancelled the wedding reception quite some time ago.
Remember how many years I've been your superior,
Haruta!
- Haruta!! - Yes.
Go!!
Yes!!
By the way, where are you, Maki?
I'm sorry! I'm truly sorry!
Excuse me.
And if I meet Maki now, what shall I tell him?
Maki!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry.
I've been rejected.
You're such a fool, aren't you?
Chief!
- Chief! - Chief!
Maki! Maki!... Maki, Maki!
Maki!
I...
love you!
Wait a moment!
I... well...
With me
you can't become happy!
Listen!
Don't always decide such things on your own!
I...
want to stay together with you forever!
Therefore,
please marry me!
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Now a few words from Haruta to us all.
1 month later, I was to leave for Shanghai.
I will do my very best
to bring at least a few of all those things
back to this office!
Chief.
I'm awfully grateful for what you've done for me.
- I hope you will be successful over there too. - Yes.
- Do your best! - Yes.
- It can't be helped, huh? - Sorry.
Thank you very much.
- See you. - Yes.
Chief, have you gotten over it already?
I guess I will need a little more time before it's a good memory.
But, only strange
or pleasant things leave a memory, right? But, only strange
or pleasant things leave a memory, right?
It was a good love, wasn't it?
Chief, how many times including the last one have you been in love?
It was the 5th time.
You do what you can, right?
Hey, what's that?
It's a birthday present.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Can I call you informally now, Choko?
What? It's "Choko-san". "-san"!
- It's "Choko-san". "-san". - Choko-san...
You see! You can say it.
- Choko! - It's "-san"!
Choko!
A cat that vegetated in the cold under a roofing~
taught me the meaning of love~
No, no, 20,000 is too much. 20,000 is too much. Take it back. Take it back.
- No, no, 30,000 is excessive. - Buy yourself something you like.
- What's this card? - A warranty card.
- I don't need a warranty card. - It's completely alright.
- Don't you have to go home? - In about 3 hours.
No, no, let's leave them alone. Go, go, go!
Darling, you're the best.
This way, one or the other new love began.
I put the passport here
and, the medicines are all in here.
- Listen! - Outch!
- Outch, outch, outch! - What are you doing there?
It doesn't go in!
It's just too sloppily packed.
Then, you try it! I'm sure it won't go in!
Do it yourself! Come on! If you can't do even this...
Outch! What's with you?
What's that! What's with you?
Bastard! What's with you?
Hey, hey, hey! What's with you? What's with you? What's with you?
I've decided not to restrain myself any longer.
Really, stop now!
That's not what I mean.
