She'll be alone if you leave.
And so
Shouko-san's husband...
Shouko-chan isn't married!
Yoko-san...
She's married...
Really, I've been aware of it for a long time.
That you've been meeting with another man.
But I didn't want to admit it.
My wife is having an affair!
We shouldn't meet.
Don't call or text me.
I'm tired of lying.
Doctor, the surgery...
I'll go through with it.
"I want to live for her sake."
You want the surgery because you thought that.
I won't tell her about my illness or the surgery.
I'm sorry.
I'm...not really married.
I'm single.
But I don't want to lie anymore.
I love you.
Sorry, Shouko-san.
I was okay with it because it was an affair.
Fooling around without any kind of trouble was perfect for me
Goodbye,
Shouko-san.
Spain
Episode 9
His vitals are stable.
Okay.
We'll be performing a brain tumor removal via the pterional approach.
Scalpel.
2 months later
Kenji-san, this bread you bought from your business trip in Shiba
is really different.
Rice is good, but bread is the best!
My fake affair ended 2 months ago.
Since we parted, I haven't seen or heard from Jyo.
He hasn't updated his social media either.
I don't even know if he's in Japan right now.
I wonder if it was all a dream.
Like a lie, it was over too soon.
I've returned to my old, single lifestyle.
Oh, that's right...our neighbor, Kawada-san's
grandchild was born. His third one! It's a boy.
Ahh...
I promised that we would enjoy our lives as a couple, but...
any time now, a bustling life would be nice.
That's true.
It seems like Sis doesn't see Fuuta anymore either.
That's for the best.
My married sister lied about being single,
and I, a bachelorette, lied about being married.
We are too opposite.
It was good that we both ended our relationships.
Koshuu grapes are a native Japanese variety.
Recently, dry white wine has become mainstream, but now
it's secretly booming worldwide.
I'm considering introducing orange wine in a set with the white.
Tamura-san, how is it?
Ah, they're both delicious.
Thank you.
Hama-san!
What do you think?
Ah!
Todo-san, this is really great.
Because it has such a gorgeous appearance,
it would be a delightful gift to bring to a girl's night.
Most importantly, the flavor is amazing!
It would pair well with meat or fish,
and um,
it might be perfect for the current trend of smoked meats.
It's tasty!
Shouko! Shouko! Hey! Hey!
Todo-san is great, right?
I'm jealous that you got to join that team.
When the boss asked if I liked alcohol,
I just said yes.
I heard that Todo-san's
the only son of the Fuji Winery.
Really?
He's good at his job,
it's a bonus that he's an heir.
He's also got super high specs.
I wonder if he's single?
He doesn't have a ring...
Hama-san!
Would you like to go for lunch?
Huh? Ah...but...
Then, Yamada-san can join us.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Let's go!
Ah...okay.
Over here is the shop.
The bar is inside.
This layout emphasizes customer flow.
I see.
It's nice.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Yeah! Do it! 1, 2!
1, 2!
1, 2, 3!
Do it again! Again! Again!
That's it! Faster! Faster! Faster!
It's looks so good!
Right? It really does.
Since you're always helping me,
I thought that I would offer my thanks.
No, I should thank you.
I'm studying so many things.
No, not at all!
By the way, Todo-san...
About how big is the Yamanashi Winery?
Ah! Um...
About 13 hectares.
*~32 acres*
13 hectares?
It's the equivalent of 3 Tokyo Domes.
3 Tokyo Domes?!
That's amazing!
You could get lost there!
Ah, no...
Speaking of Yamanashi...
you definitely think about houtou, right?
Houtou?
Yeah.
Hama-san, have you been to Yamanashi?
Of course!
Stewed chicken giblets and Yoshida udon are great too!
I love them too!
And um..miso dumpling soup!
Then you've had that?
That?
By any chance...
Youthful tomato yakisoba!
Oh man, Shouko...
You and Todo-san go well together.
What?
He's definitely interested in you.
Really?
A person with good qualities like that...
You'd never meet someone like him, not even at a marriage hunting party with an expensive entry fee.
Marrying a person with good qualifications isn't the only way to be happy.
Besides, I
am still...
Shouko, don't tell me you're still seducing Jyo?!
Of course not!
After all, he decisively rejected me when I told him I was single.
He told me clearly that he was just fooling around.
Even if I try to, I can't seduce him,
Isn't he an outrageous married lady killer?
Anyway, it's best to forget that awful man.
So,
You should find a new love in Todo-san.
I'm also
gonna seriously look for a husband.
Huh?
My little sister has finally gotten ahead of me!
She's getting married in Bali next month!
Ah!
Excuse us.
Jyo!
Jyo...
You've done very well.
You're okay to be discharged.
Thanks to you doctor.
Thank you. I'm a good doctor.
But you're also a very good patient.
Very strong.
Thank you.
Me and Todo-san?
No way.
Sorry!
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Really?!
Jyo-kun contacted you?
Yes.
He said he'll be discharged soon.
He was only able to talk for a little bit, but
but he seemed good. I'm so relieved!
Here.
Jyo-kun's brain tumor
had gotten quite large.
He seems like he had to perform the surgery in two steps.
Well, since he's young, rehabilitation should be quick.
Being able to leave the hospital two months after such a huge surgery
is amazing.
Dr. Ichinose, thank you so much.
No...I didn't do anything.
Also,
it would be great if he doesn't have any after-effects from the surgery.
After-effects?
Since it's after that kind of surgery,
there's a possibility he might have some various issues.
Really?
It's simply a possibility.
First, we should be relieved to hear that he's doing well.
Of course.
Ah...I wonder when he'll come back to Japan.
The first thing he'll do is go see her.
Right?
He did undergo the surgery for her sake.
Oh?
What are you two talking about?
Hmm?
Ah, nothing really.
It's kinda suspicious.
Erika-chan, knock it off!
We're not like that...Right, doc?
What are you talking about?!
Shouko? Are you home?
Ah, Sis...
What's up?
Nothing really.
Nothing's up.
You didn't want to come home.
So...
Are things back to normal with Bro?
At least on the surface.
We're a so-called married couple that are going through the motions.
You've realized it, right?
Don't tell me you did it again...
You didn't meet up with Fuuta-kun, right?
Nope.
I haven't called or texted him.
How about you?
The guy you had a fake affair with...
Is it really over?
Yeah.
I see.
You wanted to see him one more time, right?
What kind of man was he?
Even though he gave you a ring like that,
he claimed it was just an ordinary affair.
Hmm?
Todo-san?
Hama-san, I had a good time at lunch today.
Would you like to join me on Sunday to drink some delicious wine?
I wonder if this is for work?
Who is this Todo-san?
Ah. Someone I just started working with
invited me out to drink wine on Sunday...
That's a date, right?
A DATE?!
No, there's no way he'd suddenly...a date?!
What's he like?
What's he like?...
He's lovely.
What about his looks?
I think he's good there.
His disposition?
He's kind and can hold a conversation.
What's he do? How old is he?
Don't ask me so many questions.
Is that not good for you?
Well, is it?
It's not bad...
but...
By any chance, do you have a boyfriend?
You don't, right?
I don't, but...
Then hurry up and say that you'll go.
Huh?
It's fine, Shouko.
Why not try again with a new love?
Sunday is okay.
A new love, huh?
Ah, Yoko.
You're home.
Oh.
Kenji-san brought home some cake.
You'll have some too, right? It's mille fuille.
Yeah.
Here.
Thanks.
Ah, I'll be playing golf this Sunday.
My boss said I have to.
It's serious, huh?
Yeah.
Sorry.
I wanted to have some couple time this weekend...
It's okay.
That's a part of your job, too.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Yoko!
You're late!
Sorry! Are you mad?
When I won my match,
I said I'd give you a present, right?
You never wear a ring,
so I'm giving you one.
Welcome. Please watch your step.
Okay.
Welcome!
Shouko-san!
Sorry for suddenly calling you by your first name.
I thought it would be okay since it's our day off.
It's okay.
Well then...cheers.
Cheers.
I'm kind of nervous.
I don't really go to places like this outside of work.
Really?
Really.
I invited you pretty smoothly, but
I pretty exclusively go to bars.
Me too.
Thanks for the food.
Shouko-san, what do you do on your days off?
I like to travel...I used to do that a lot.
By myself.
Ah! That's when you went to Yamanashi?
Yeah.
Are you from Tokyo?
No.
I was raised in the carefree town
of Hanamaki in Iwate Prefecture.
I thought so!
Huh?
I thought you seemed low-key.
Huh?
It's not coming out.
Let me see it real quick.
Here.
Huh? Ah, it really won't.
Hmm?
I won't come out right?
Yeah.
It worked!
It came out!
There's a button?
It worked.
Next,
would you like to go to my favorite restaurant?
Yes!
I had a wretched score in the first half.
What are you up to?
I'm at a beauty salon right now.
I thought I'd change things up and cut my hair.
I see.
Is it really okay?
Cutting hair that's this pretty...
Yes. Please cut it.
Boldly.
This is a huge responsibility.
Huh? You're a pro boxer?
That's right.
To help the audience remember me,
my trainer told me to give myself some character, so I dyed my hair.
So then
should we dye it red to make you look strong?
You dyed your hair again?
How is it?
I like it.
Actually, pink is good.
Because there was a person that liked this color.
Got it.
Yeah.
Ah...
Alright.
I'll drastically cut it.
Huh?! NO! NO! NO!
No! You can't!
Right?
This place you suggested is nice.
I'm glad you like it.
It's a bit grandpa-ish, but
I love it here.
You are just the kind of person I thought you were.
Hmm?
My
last girlfriend was a liar.
Huh?
She was two-timing.
For a while, I thought love would be nice...
then I noticed you.
You're always excited and having fun.
What are you writing?
Spanish pick-up lines.
I love you. Let's get married is "Casémonos".
Did you say that?
When I saw that smiling face,
I thought "Ah, she seems like someone that doesn't lie."
Well...
Here. Thanks for waiting.
Thanks.
Shouko-chan...
you finally got a boyfriend!
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Huh...wa...wa...
A round on the house!
He's....He's not my boyfriend.
Really?
Yes.
But I want to be.
Knock it off with the jokes.
I'm not kidding.
Shouko-san...
Would you go out with me?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
He...
He confessed!
No...this is wrong somehow...
Jeez...what are you doing, taking your time?
Taking my time?
Hurry up and go tell the heir "okay", before he changes his mind!
I can't say something that simple.
Even though this incredibly high spec prince just confessed to you,
what is required for you to be charmed?
It's not...we've only just met.
We don't know anything about each other...
why me?
Maybe you haven't noticed this about yourself, but
hasn't your womanly charm increased since your fake affair with Jyo?
Huh?
When you were in love with Jyo, you were and sparkly and shiny.
Hey, don't they say that a woman in love is beautiful?
Oh?
Did you remember about Jyo?
No! What are you talking about?
It's over already.
I don't think we'll meet again.
Don't you really want to see him one more time?
I do not!
Fuuta...
In the end,
we talked on the phone,
but I didn't get to see you to apologize properly.
I...lied about being single.
I'm sorry.
Everyone lies.
Did you
lie about anything?
Huh? Me?
Ah. Wow.
I might not have lied.
I love you,
Yoko-san.
If it's possible,
I want to be with you forever.
I really do.
However,
Because of me, you lied and suffered.
It's okay if we can't see each other.
Wouldn't be good if you didn't have to lie anymore?
I...
do nothing but lie anymore.
I lie
all the time.
In the end,
I'm spinning around and around in the same spot.
That's what a lie is.
Spinning in place...
Feeling like you're slowly falling.
What will be there when I hit the ground?
Lying takes up a lot of time.
I wonder what kind of old lady I will become...
Well then...
I'll be waiting there.
Anyway, what if I jumped down
until you got to the bottom?
That way, the time we spend together could be longer.
I'll soften the blow,
so jump down.
I...
don't have any money, but I'll work lots of part time jobs.
I'll work harder so that I can win more matches.
or...
do you love your husband after all?
I don't love him.
I don't feel anything like love for him.
Should I take the leap?
Shouko-san...
Are you doing anything tomorrow night?
Tomorrow? Uh...Nothing in particular.
Will you go to Meat Fest with me?
Meat Fest?
Yes...
It's in Ebisu.
I want to go!
Awesome!
Then your response from before...
Ah...
Yes.
Shouko-san?
Erika-chan?!
It's been a while! You don't come to the shop anymore.
...Yeah...
Well then...I'll leave from here.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
Is it because of you that Jyo-san returned to Spain?
Huh?!
"Huh?!"
Joe-san had a brain disease and went back to Spain for surgery.
A brain disease?
Surgery?
Huh? You didn't know?
Akari-san said you were somehow connected to it.
I see.
Two months ago,
Jyo went back to Spain for surgery.
Um...
The surgery...
He's okay.
He's safe and sound so you can relax.
Thank goodness!
I...
really didn't know anything.
He asked me not to tell you anything.
Why?
You can say that again.
When he found out that he was sick,
it seems like the situation was already serious.
There were substantial risks to undergoing this surgery.
He was told that his life was in danger.
Huh?
So Jyo gave up on having the surgery,
Finally, he decided to do the things that he wanted to do, and he came back to Japan.
And so he went back to his birthplace, Hakata.
And so he met you, a woman he thought was married,
and he thought he wanted to have a final love.
A final love?
Why with a married woman?
He thought about it...
If it was an affair...when he died, you wouldn't be all alone.
At first,
he just planned on taking the trip.
Will you have an affair with me?
But, before he knew it,
he really fell in love with you.
So...
I was really worried when I learned that you were single.
Shouko-san's husband...
Shouko-chan is not married!
Huh?
After that, so that you wouldn't be all alone,
so that he could be with you always,
he decided to have the surgery.
Huh?
No way...
After all...
Why wouldn't he tell me about it?
He...was suddenly so cold.
He disappeared from right in front of me.
I was okay with it because it was an affair.
That's why I talked to you.
Goodbye, Shouko-san.
It was for your own sake.
If the surgery didn't go well and he lost his life
you would be even sadder.
So, I stayed silent.
He's a dummy, right?
Ah...the dummy is me.
I didn't know anything.
Even though he collapsed right in front of my eyes,
I didn't realize he had a serious illness.
I'm sure he acted like he was healthy
so that I wouldn't be worried.
Well...
this ring...
those words...
Give me your left hand.
I love you, Shouko-san.
They were the real thing.
The number you've dialed is not available
because it is off or out of coverage.
I want to see Jyo!
Kenji, are you coming home early today?
I think I will, because I don't have anything going on tonight.
I see.
Yeah.
Oh yeah,
Didn't you say you were getting a haircut?
I couldn't cut it after all.
Oh...
Huh? You have a date with Todo-san?
and?...
"And" nothing.
What the heck are you doing this morning?
I'm going to Bali right now,
but I'm depressed about it.
Ah, your little sister's wedding?
By any chance...
Did Todo-san confess to you?
Huh?
He did!
That's awesome!
Of course, you said okay, right?
Well...
Shouko, you can finally become happy.
Well, about that...
What?
No...nothing.
Crap, I have to go already!
Alright, have fun!
Shouko...
Will she seize happiness at last?
Alright!
I've gotta try my hardest, too!
Very handsome.
I love you.
Let's get married.
Jyo?
We will prepare 5000 sets at this price.
Ah, wonderful!
Thank you.
Just like we expected!
Thank you so much!
Shouko-san,
Let's eat meat today.
So, cheer up.
Did something happen?
You feel different than normal.
Todo-san...
I can't
go after all.
Huh?
I'm sorry.
I...
There's someone I can't forget about.
You told me
that I don't look like someone that lies, but
I lied
to that person
about being married.
Why would you lie about that?
I was just being pretentious.
I would have liked to have seriously faced him
and told him the truth earlier.
I really, really liked him.
But I
didn't know anything about him.
He was going through a tough time...
I couldn't do anything.
Is that
the person that went to Spain?
Sorry.
I didn't intend to listen...
Yes.
I see.
Excuse me.
Jyo's coming back from Spain today.
Why don't you come by the shop tonight?
Huh?
Shouko-san?
What's wrong?
Well...
He...
Today, he's returning
from Spain.
Then, you have to go see him right away!
I want to,
but
I don't know what to say!
Um...
This is awkward...
My thumb!
It came off...
Um, then...next is...
Todo-san...
Why would you do that so suddenly?
It's that! That...
Huh?
Shouko-san, it's totally better if you smile.
You don't have to say anything.
If you go see him with a smile on your face,
then it'll definitely be okay.
Do your best!
Okay!
Shouko-san?
Excuse me.
It feels like I just caught a glimpse of him.
I've
gotta go.
Jyo...
I want to see you.
I want to see you!
Jyo...
Thank goodness!
You're okay!
I came suddenly...
you're surprised, right?
Your sister told me about the surgery...
I was worried.
And then, just before,
I thought I saw you.
So I just...
Who
are you?
Who
are you?
Jyo...
Huh?
It's me,
Shouko.
Sorry...
I...
had brain surgery...
there are a bunch of things I can't remember.
Is this an after-effect
from the surgery?
I remember coming to Japan, but...
the details are a little...
You...
forgot about me...
I'm sorry.
Jyo!
Akari!
Welcome home, Jyo!
I'm back.
I was so worried!
But I was so happy
to hear that the surgery went well.
Yeah.
Ah, Shouko-chan, you came.
Jyo...
You're happy she came, right?
Akari...is that someone you know?
Huh?
What are you talking about?
I can't remember the last two to three months.
You can't remember?
You don't remember Shouko-chan?
You're lying, right? There's no way...
I'm...going home.
Excuse me.
Shouko-chan?
Huh? His memories?
That's right.
Jyo doesn't remember
Shouko-chan at all!
He might be having some cognitive dysfunction as an after-effect of the surgery.
Cognitive dysfunction?
Memory disorders
are the most common.
So...
He lost his memories?
Right.
It's not unusual to lose your memory for a period of time.
No way!
Doc, will his memories return?
They'll return right?
It's not possible to say without a thorough medical examination.
Why?
He finally got to see Shouko-chan...
I couldn't cut it after all.
I'm home.
Yoko...
Please divorce me.
Please.
What's going on?
A joke like this...
it's not like you.
Kenji.
I won't allow it.
I will never approve this divorce!
We're a perfect couple!
Why do you want a divorce?! Tell me!
I love you so much!
Yoko!
Love?
That's right.
Kenji...
Is this
really love?
No way.
Does something like that happen?
It's like an old movie.
He really forgot about me.
Jyo's eyes...
They were different two months ago.
He looked at things like a different person.
This love that started from a lie,
disappeared like a lie.
But,
Jyo looked healthy.
Since the surgery was successful,
and Jyo was saved...
it's okay if his memories of me
disappear.
Shouko...
Can I stay with you tonight?
It seems like
something happened to you, too.
Let's eat.
Thanks for the food.
Something like this happened when we were kids.
You
said you were hungry right after eating dinner.
We hid from mom and secretly made and ate rice balls.
I remember that well.
Your memories suddenly disappearing...
That kind of thing can happen, huh?
Well...But
I'm happy.
the operation was a success.
He also remembers his sister.
I wonder if this is a punishment.
Because I lied about being married.
But if you didn't lie,
your love would never have begun.
Yeah...
What if you could redo it from the beginning?
Huh?
He doesn't have memories.
He forgot all of his memories of you.
Couldn't you redo it one more time from the beginning?
This time,
without lying.
It's impossible.
After all, Jyo...
I'm not talking about him.
What do you
want to do?
Kenji
and I are getting a divorce.
Did he agree to it?
But I will earnestly talk to him until he does.
Sis...
I thought getting a divorce was giving up.
That's right.
Working for a good company,
having a two family house,
living together with an ideal husband...
I'm having an affair with a young man and getting a divorce.
Society will criticize me, and call me a complete moron.
Our parents will be sad, too.
Then why?
I thought that being a lying old lady sounded terrible.
We only get one life.
Shouko.
Seize your happiness.
Jyo?
Do you really not remember Shouko-chan?
I don't.
That's a lie.
You're lying, aren't you?
