-Good evening. -Good evening.
Terrace House is a show about six strangers living together,
and we observe how they interact.
All that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobiles.
-There is no script at all. -Yes.
-This feels odd. -I agree.
-Well... -What happened to our fearless leader?
-Tokui is... -Absent today.
-He'll be away for a while. -He needs time to process things.
I see. He's taking time to think things through.
Exactly. So he won't be joining us for a little while.
-It's good to take time to reflect. -You're right.
Let's continue to create a happy atmosphere.
-I'm with you. -Yes.
-We'll hold down the fort. -Agreed.
And we'll wait for his return.
The housemates must be shaking in their boots.
-They lost Tokui, their biggest advocate. -He has to be here!
-Exactly, no joke. -They're on thin ice.
That's too bad! I'm looking forward to tearing you guys apart.
-However, today we have someone else. -That's right.
Please help me welcome a very special guest.
Japan's star rugby player... Welcome, Yu Tamura!
-Wow! -So great to have you.
-Hi, everyone. -Wow. Unbelievable.
YU TAMURA, 30 NATIONAL RUGBY PLAYER
You've joined us under some odd circumstances.
Thank you for having me. So glad to be here.
Great job on the field. Thanks for coming.
This could only mean one thing.
-Are you a fan of the show? -My whole team is hooked.
-No way! Really? -The entire team?
We all love it. Michael Leitch is the only person who doesn't.
MICHAEL LEITCH
We look forward to it every week.
-Really? -That makes me so happy!
Since the episodes are released on Mondays,
we're unable to watch them on schedule.
But on Tuesdays after practice, we pick someone's room and watch it together.
-You watch it as a group? -Yes, a few of us get together.
-A room full of super buff dudes together? -The burliest of burly men.
We giggle and fuss over each episode.
You're adorable at heart. Which housemate most grabs your attention?
-The person we debate about the most... -You're that into it?
-...is Ruka, and-- -What?
-I knew it. -No, hold on...
There's a lot to unpack.
-Ruka is complex. -There's a lot going on with him.
-He's unique. -He's a bit off-kilter.
Did you notice how quickly he deescalated Torichan's enthusiasm?
-"No, hold on." -Excuse me. Sorry.
-To avoid any misunderstandings. -I got too excited. Sorry.
What has been your favorite scene so far?
-I've seen every single episode ever. -What?
The whole team has been watching since the first season.
Wow, really?
-Even when Tecchan-- -Whoa, how nostalgic!
-He went to hold his crush's hand. -Really?
-Oh! When Rie rejected his advance? -Yes, that scene.
We saw that and all facepalmed.
You were rooting for him? Everyone had hope for him.
We were really invested in his success.
Having him here, I feel like
we should be asking him about rugby and the game against South Africa.
Instead, we're just gonna talk about their silly crushes?
-What a luxury! -I wholeheartedly agree.
-Are you pumped to see this episode? -I can't wait.
Last week, Haruka and Peppe went on a date.
They visited the 39th floor of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel.
A fancy bar with an amazing view.
I recognize that I have feelings for you.
I like you, too, Peppe.
-You do? -Yes, and...
I feel like there's more I'd like to know about you.
-I'd like more time to get to know you. -Okay.
-I don't have an immediate answer for you. -I understand.
After the date, Peppe gifted Haruka with pajamas.
-Those were so cute. -Once they got home.
There was a moment after that where they locked eyes,
and then went, "Huh?" at the same time.
-What? -Huh?
In those moments,
do you get caught up in the "will-they-won't-they" anticipation?
I was like, "What?" along with them.
-It makes me happy to hear that. -I empathize.
-I recognize that Peppe is a shy person. -True.
Many of my teammates are that way, too.
-Really? -So many of us relate to him.
Athletes are generally shy people?
-Many of us are quite shy and introverted. -No way!
-Athletes aren't confident daters? -That's what I figured.
-Many of us are awkward in relationships. -Interesting.
I guess I could see that. They're very committed to their craft.
Their success in the sport is so important. Stop it, Yu! I couldn't.
I couldn't date a young athlete at this age.
Are there any divorced coaches available?
True, that'd be more fitting. A bearded older man.
Tell him I'm a hot model who's failed at marriage once before.
I'll put out some feelers for you.
-Then we saw the Ginza sushi incident. -I wanted to puke.
Agreed.
When are you free next?
The 29th and 30th.
Want to treat me to sushi in Ginza?
And he went with it!
-I don't understand why. -What would you do in this situation?
If a woman said, "Yu, treat me to fancy sushi in Ginza..."
-Well, as a fellow athlete... -Yes?
I think he may be overcome by all the attention.
You think he's not used to it?
So, if she's skilled at getting her way with men,
she could easily woo him.
Does she seem like the gold-digging type to you?
I do feel like I'd have to spend a pretty penny on her.
-Don't you? -I think so, too.
But he may be too hyped up to really notice.
-Interesting! -Since he's not used to it.
Great theory.
You're over the moon right now. Wow.
-Did you drink? -I'm in heaven. No, not today.
You seem buzzed.
I'm in heaven.
Oh, no... I forgot my earrings.
Where at?
She's intentionally trying to aggravate Hana.
Anyone would wonder why she'd taken her earrings off.
Emika is clearly trying to make Hana anxious.
They haven't found any common ground yet.
-Isn't she a great strategist? -I recognize her talent.
Also, Ruka has begun taking cooking classes.
-Cool, hope that goes well. -Yep! Moving on.
Wishing him luck.
-Who went shopping? -That was me.
-What are you going to cook? -You can't look yet.
-Why? -It's a surprise.
Who cares?
This is what we're dealing with with Ruka.
His stunning looks were all we saw when he first arrived,
and his popularity soared because of that.
-But these days-- -Has he failed?
No, he's not a failure at all.
How kind of you.
He's just going through a rough time.
That's the kindest way you could put that.
So gentle. Spoken like an athlete. "He seems to be having a rough season."
I guess his conditioning didn't go well.
Then, in the last scene, Haruka invited Peppe for a talk.
That's where we left off.
-It's been about three days. -Yeah.
I was too surprised at the time to give you a solid answer.
I took some time to think about how to respond.
After giving it careful thought...
Which way will it go? What's your guess?
-I don't think it will work out. -Me, neither.
-I feel like it'll be a success. -Me, too.
Yeah, I think so.
The atmosphere seemed positive.
-What do you think? -I don't think they'll date.
-Exactly. -Really?
I think they'll leave the house as a couple.
-I can see that happening. -Ah, both leave...
If you're wrong, we're going to have him tackle you.
-That'd be fatal. -I'd be out of work.
-Nice. I would love to see that. -He'd break ribs.
Are we really doing this?
-I'm totally down. -Please, spare me.
I was too surprised at the time to give you a solid answer.
I took some time to think about how to respond.
After giving it careful thought...
I don't think I can date you.
The reason is...
-Should I tell you why? -Sure.
-If you'd care to share, that'd be great. -Okay.
We've lived at Terrace House together for two months now.
During that time, though,
there haven't been many opportunities for us to get to know each other.
I agree. We couldn't hang out much.
-Work has kept you insanely busy. -That's true.
That was a big reason...
I came to the decision I did.
It didn't feel right.
I'm leaving the house the day after tomorrow.
-The day after tomorrow? Okay. -Yeah.
It was hard for me...
to imagine a future that you'd be part of
after I leave the house.
That's why I came to this conclusion.
-Thanks for telling me. -Sure.
-That's that. -Okay.
I leave in two days.
-Only two days. -It makes me sad.
-Me, too. I hate to see you go. -Yeah.
Many things happened in a short amount of time.
Lots of happy moments and some rough moments.
I've made...
lifelong memories in this house.
I'm very grateful to have met you, Peppe.
Thanks for saying that. I've appreciated our time together, too.
-It's been lots of fun. -Yeah.
-You're awake. -Hello.
-What's up? -Hey, hey.
So...
Is it all right if I talk in English for a bit?
Of course.
This would be easier for me to explain in English.
-How was it? What did you talk about? -Well...
What did we talk about? So, I...
-Did you give Peppe an answer? -He confessed his feelings for me.
I told him no, that I don't...
share the same feelings, at least not enough to date.
-I see. -Yeah.
What is it?
I have something to tell you, too. You want to go first?
-You have something to tell me? -I do.
I think I know what you're about to say.
What is it?
When we asked Peppe about your date...
Ryo was here, too.
Peppe mentioned that
-you're leaving the house. -Yeah.
-That's what you were gonna say, right? -That's it.
-I see. -I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.
Have you told anyone else yet?
I've spoken with everyone except Ryo.
-Ryo knows, too, since Peppe told us. -He does?
-Well, I haven't told people when I leave. -Gotcha.
I've been meaning to.
-The girls already know? -They do.
I see.
-So, I need to tell you something, too. -Okay.
In short...
I was planning on telling everyone tomorrow night.
-I'm gonna tell them. -Tell them what?
That I'm leaving.
-You're leaving, too? -Yeah.
-Really? -Yeah.
That's why...
I took a cooking class. It was so I can make tomorrow's dinner.
I wanted to try my hand at broccoli pasta again.
The chef helped me with a recipe for a broccoli pasta dish,
and I want to make it for everyone.
-All the original members will be gone. -Yeah...
That's why I wanted to tell you first.
-Since we've been together from the start. -I really wanted to tell you sooner...
but the timing was never right.
We arrived together and now we're leaving together.
-How weird, you know? -Yeah.
I hear you.
-Let's keep doing our best. -Agreed.
"You..."
"Dinner..."

How are things coming along?
I'm almost finished.
I went to the grocery store and tried to buy broccoli,
but they were completely out.
I figured that was your doing.
Because I bought all of it?
That looks delicious.
I can't wait to have some.
All right, done.
-This looks delicious. -Amazing.
No joke, this looks awesome.
-Thanks for cooking. -The pleasure is mine.
This looks so yummy.
-So, this dish... -What's it called?
The noodles are called "trofie."
-Trofie? -Yes, trofie pasta.
The name of this dish is Carbroccoli Pasta.
-"Carbroccoli"? -Carbroccoli. Nice.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
Bon appétit.
Carbroccoli trofie, huh?
-Delicious. -Yum.
-So good. -Super tasty.
-Yummy. -It's so good.
It's lived up to the hype.
-Thank you. -It's seriously so good.
So tasty.
-I want three servings. -Ruka made the pasta from scratch.
-Wow. -Did you know that?
-I've never had handmade pasta before. -Really?
What seasoning did you use on the broccoli?
-Is it seasoned? -Those are just blanched.
Shall we get some mayonnaise?
-Hold on, I need a knife. -Sorry about that.
This is super delicious.
-Yummy. -Ruka...
Look at me.
-What's wrong? -It's nothing.
-Ruka... -Thanks for cooking.
Don't cry, Ruka.
What's going on?
-Are you all right? -Yeah.
The pasta is so delicious.
-What's wrong? -It's just...
I'm so happy that everyone liked it.
-For real? -Yeah.
Honestly, I would love it if you cooked this every day.
True. Why should today be an exception?
-From now on... -Let's have a daily, rotating pasta menu.
It's so good.
-I have something I'd like to tell you. -Okay.
Wow.
I've been working on my English lately...
so I wrote a speech that I'd like to share.
-If you will, please listen. -Yay.
-You got this. -Thanks.
Everyone, did you enjoy your dinner?
-Yes. We did. -Thank you.
-Of course.
I've been working on making myself better
by studying English and going to the gym a lot.
I've been talking with a lot of foreigners
since I started working at the Marvel bar.
Alright.
So...
When I first came to Terrace House...
But I feel I am getting more and more independent.
-Yeah, you are. You are. -Yes, independent.
I believe that I have become more mature.
-Yeah. -You are.
I have learned that communication and sympathy are very important.
I have also realized that I enjoy cooking.
I want to thank all the Terrace House members...
-Thank you. -Thank you, Ruka.
...who left before me for helping me.
Thank you.
Tomorrow,
-I'll graduate from Terrace House. -What?
I'll...
Hold on, sorry...
-Graduate... -Seriously?
I'll do my best in the future.
Please continue to watch over me.
Thank you for everything.
Ruka...
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
Why are you leaving?
Thank you for everything.
-Your pasta is better than mine. -Didn't we say no surprises?
Your pasta is great and so is your English.
If I'd never been in this kind of environment...
I would've been an extremely weird adult.
Thank you so much.
-Thank you. -Likewise.
Thank you.
So, tomorrow morning?
Yeah.
What time are you heading out?
-We'll have to decide. -Yeah.
-You're both leaving? -Yeah.
-At the same time? -You knew?
I did.
I told her about it yesterday.
Since we've both been here from the beginning.
Ouch, my earring.
I have a present for Haruka.
-For me? -I didn't know Ruka was leaving, too.
I'll bring another one for you soon.
-Thank you for everything. -What is that?
Really, thank you.
-For real? -You were an awesome roommate.
The gall of pulling out his own fan merch!
Thank you.
-From the bottom of my heart. -Thanks. Got it. I'll wear it.
-I'm envious. I want one. -Don't worry!
I'll bring you one.
Thank you.
I also have a going-away present for you, Haruka.
-What could this be? -Whoa!
What do you think it is?
Eevee!
Thank you so much!
That's awesome.
-It's Eevee. -So cute.
-It had to be that. -Super cute.
Thank you so much!
-Thank you, Peppe. -You're welcome.
-Morning. -Good morning.
-Hey. -Morning.
Good morning.
What's with this mountain of tissues?
-What to do? -I'll take care of it.
Hold on, I got it.
-Have you cried, Ryo? -What's going on?
I have. Why?
-Your eyes are droopy because of it. -Are they?
His eyes are naturally droopy.
I'm saving my tears from tomorrow.
-Not yesterday? -Yes, I mean yesterday!
"Tomorrow." Tomorrow?
You sounded like a time traveler.
I held them back yesterday.
-You got those bags? -Oh, no, help!
-Someone! -We're coming.
Go! She's yelling, "Someone."
Why are you trying to carry that all by yourself?
I got this one.
-Thank you. -Here we go.
Also, I lost my cell phone.
-You lost it? -Oh, there it is.
Are you crying?
I have so many suitcases.
Ruka...
-Huh? -Wait...
-Is it not finished? -No, that's the one.
-I thought maybe you weren't finished. -It looked like two sheets.
-We wrote this. -Thank you.
-You, too.
It's Mingo.
Thanks for all the hugs when work was rough for me. I love you!
-How lovely. Good for you. -Yeah.
You're a kind soul, Ruka. You're the best! All love brother!
Give me a hug.
Come here.
Me, too.
Can I have a hug?
Good luck with everything.
If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
-Thank you. -Really, thank you so much.
I want a hug, too.
-Peppe says he needs a hug, too. -I'm rooting for you.
I'll keep doing my best.
-Good luck with everything. -Yes, thank you.
-Good luck. -Thank you.
-I'll carry these. -Thank you.
Let's grab lunch sometime.
Yes, I'm down for lunch.
Be good.
-Take care, both of you. -Will do.
-Ciao. -We'll try not to fight.
Please don't.
If we do, I'll call you to the playroom.
-I'll have to come back. -Yeah, I'll drag you back.
-Shall we? -Thanks for everything.
-From the bottom of my heart. -Thank you.
-Thank you. See you soon. -Ciao.
Bye.
See you soon.
Ciao, Ruka.
THANK YOU
-Let's do our best. -Yeah.
We'll continue to create a good atmosphere for the people who arrive next.
-We'll welcome them wholeheartedly. -I'm scared.
We'll need to throw a welcome party.
Yu seems ambivalent.
-How are you feeling? -Your muse, Ruka, has left.
He has. I'm not sure what's left for me to enjoy.
Is it that bad?
-He was what I looked forward to. -I see.
I understand where you're coming from.
-I'm happy we're on the same page. -Who knew?
-You've been concerned for him? -I've been curious about his next steps.
In that dish he made, even the pasta was made from scratch.
-Everything was handmade. -He's come a long way.
-It looked scrumptious. -He planned out every detail.
He shows potential for genius.
-"Potential for genius"? -Yes. Definitely.
-Since when? -He is the genius type.
-That speech. -He demonstrated his best English.
To seize a moment like that and put yourself on display,
knowing that you're still a beginner in English,
is the mark of a genius.
So I would agree
if the person you're referring to was a first grader.
But if we praise an adult
for giving a speech in broken English to a small crowd of his friends,
what does it truly mean to be a genius?
Hold on.
The average person couldn't pull that off.
-It'd be quite embarrassing as an adult. -So people avoid it.
-That's my point. -But he went for it.
That's why it's so genius.
-This is crucial. -Good point.
Wait, hold on...
I'm sad that Yu has been nodding in agreement.
-They have a point. -What?
You think Ruka has superstar potential?
I do. It's courageous to present a skill that you're not proficient in yet.
Only you have the unpopular opinion, Yamachan.
Who do you think you are? I have seniority in this house.
Don't forget that he can tackle you.
-Here it comes. -No, please wait!
Jeez...
Don't scare me like that!
I will admit that he's come a long way from the useless human he was
-when he first arrived. -I wholeheartedly agree.
-He's grown a lot. -Indeed.
He's able to make himself vulnerable, absorb everyone's feedback,
and use it for self-improvement. It the end, he conquered broccoli pasta.
-He challenged himself. -And it turned out amazing!
What a boring subplot.
What kind of ridiculous subplot is "broccoli pasta"?
I think it's cute.
Broccoli pasta has been his nemesis the whole time.
The other big topic is that Peppe was dumped.
-Spring didn't come for him. -It didn't work out.
We didn't see any sign that Haruka could be developing feelings for him.
But she received PJs and an Eevee doll in the end.
If love could be bought with PJs and stuffed animals, we'd all be doing that.
There'd be no end to it if we had to sleep with men over PJs and dolls.
-I guess that's true. -Could you please show some subtlety?
I'm so sorry. Excuse me.
-But also that other thing! With Emika. -What's wrong?
-That hand gesture from Ryo. -You're right!
-The reaching over, right? -Yes, that.
-Didn't that seem too intimate? -It was like this.
-With his hand on her knee. -That's it.
That lasted for a while.
-He was holding her knee the entire time. -At least 30 seconds.
-What did you make of that? -It crosses a boundary.
-It's inappropriate. -Something's happened between them.
They've had sex for sure.
-Please! -Whoa, come on.
-You're so blunt. -No, she didn't.
Our mastermind detective has cracked the case.
I come from the olden days where we didn't tiptoe around sex.
Also, the nerve to do that
in front of the person who obviously has a crush on you.
Who does that?
It almost feels like he's trying to deter Hana.
True, it feels intentional.
He's trying to repel Hana?
I would think so.
It's not a meaningless, friendly gesture.
I think something happened between them.
I admit that even demonstrating this gesture with Sho is making me blush.
Really? Even between the two of you?
Isn't this a warm connection?
-It's very warm and comforting. -Right?
I was shocked at how warm it felt.
My knees were super comfy.
Yu, could you do that with a person you haven't smashed?
"Smashed"?
Could you please use a different expression?
Like, "Someone you're not dating." You know?
Could you touch a person you're not dating like this?
That would be too intimate for me.
-Right? That's normal. -I think so.
I think something has happened, too.
Something has happened...
-It has to have. -It's hard to deny.
Our master detective from the rugby world.
-Well... -Something is going on.
It appears they've "sealed the deal."
It stood out to me that it happened in the morning.
-Does the time of day matter? -Does it?
-Timing does matter. -As in they get in the mood so early?
It could be the morning after their time together.
What? You're saying it literally happened the night before?
-That's what's up? -The night before?
If so, they are inhumanely brutal.
You mean they just slayed the dragon?
Fresh off the dragon with a cup of the knee.
Stop saying it like it's a slogan for a rice commercial.
"Fresh off the dragon with a cup of the knee."

TAKIGASHIRA HALL
AKI CHAMBERS, 29 YOKOHAMA B-CORSAIRS (SF)
ZEN MAKI, 27 YOKOHAMA B-CORSAIRS (SG)
Did you see the article about Ryo?
-What happened? -He's gone viral.
-What's that about? -So...
Ryo's basketball team announced to their fans that he's living here.
-The comments were pretty negative. -Really?
There will always be people who think he should be working harder instead.
-"Spend more time practicing." -But he does practice.
No one can practice for over ten hours every day.
So true. He has to prove himself as a captain,
-so there must be pressure. -Totally.
That makes me a bit worried for him.
I hope he weathers it okay.
Especially since they lost in Hokkaido.
He won't be home today.
I'm anxious. I wanted to hear his thoughts on it.
What are you up to tomorrow?
Tomorrow...
I have practice and then a match at night.
I see. When does practice end?
Around 4:00 p.m., I think.
And the match starts at 7:00 p.m. So in that gap,
do you wanna grab some grub?
-"Grub"? -Let's get grub together.
Sure.
-What a wild expression. "Grub." -A meal.
-Let's share a meal. -Sure, let's get grub.
Let's do it.
What? Yay!
Hey.
Why so excited?
-Long time, no see. -No way.
We came to beg for your cooking, and you're already doing it!
-What are you using? -That stuff.
A childhood friend shipped these for me.
-Cool. -They bottle those.
-What? Wow. -Yeah, it's so good.
-Have you heard of porcini mushrooms? -Yeah, I have.
-Porcini mushrooms. -It's delicious.
-Thank you, Peppe. Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
I hope it's good.
-Mmm! -Is it good?
So good.
Are there mushrooms in yours? Enough mushrooms?
Yeah, there's plenty.
-How was your day? -So crazy.
-For real? Today was your deadline? -Yeah.
From now on, I have to
-develop the story along with the design. -True.
Up until now, I could focus on the drawings.
I had the story already.
So I could focus on one task.
From now on, I'll have to draft the story, then design it,
rinse and repeat the next week,
then again the next week without any breaks.
That's intense.
-What a hard schedule. -I'll do my best. In two days...
-it'll be published. -That's right.
I'm looking forward to it.
Where will it be sold? In bookstores?
They'll have them at convenience stores, too.
-How exciting. -Yep.
I can't wait.
I don't know how I'll handle it.
I've been waiting for so long.
KANNAI, KANAGAWA
If I eat too much, I won't be able to focus.
-Right. -Let's also drink lightly.
PIZZERIA LIANA
-This looks delicious, though. -I won't be able to resist.
Hello.
I wanted to talk to you about something.
What is it? I'm scared.
Is this where we become mortal enemies?
No, silly. I wanted to point out
how ridiculous it was for me to make you meet me in the playroom,
just to tell you I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.
You know, about Ruka.
There was no point in me saying that if nothing was happening.
But I've realized that I also have feelings for Ryo.
-Wow. High five. -So, because of that...
Well, wait. Are we gonna start arguing?
Maybe a hair-pulling, physical fight.
So, because of that, I was feeling self-conscious
about how watching a rom-com together could come off.
-From Ryo's point of view? -Yeah, I was sensitive about that.
If I had been honest to begin with,
I think it would have been more evident
as to why I wouldn't want you to say those things.
I get it.
Ryo is hot, right?
-He is. -I can really relate on that.
He's super hot.
My natural tendency is to want to know lots about others.
So if you two go out, I'd feel weird if you kept it a secret.
I think I'm the same way... Well, maybe not exactly.
I'm naturally a pretty chatty person, so I tend to
speak freely about my day and stuff. So I think I'd tell you.
-Wouldn't you? -I think so.
-Is it okay to talk about? -I think it'll be fine.
-I don't want to fight over him. -Let's share this experience.
-Who knows about the future, though? -I guess so.
We might throw down.
YOKOHAMA BUNKA GYMNASIUM KANNAI, KANAGAWA
The Yokohama home game is about to start as the athletes enter the court!
Number 21, Ryo Tawatari!
-Yeah! Go, go, go! -Yay, Ryo.
You got this!
Go, go, B-Cor!
Go! Go!
Oh, my God... Oh, my God!
Get it! Get it!
Go! Yay!
-That was three points, right? -Correct.
Wow.
Nice! Damn.
That was crazy.
-Right? -Insane.
Go, go, B-Cor!
-Point number two! -Yay!
YOKOHAMA - 75 AKITA - 60
R-Y-O. Ryo!
We will now present the MVP award for the league today.
Our MVP for the night is...
Number 21, Ryo Tawatari!
Go, Ryo!
He scored nine points tonight
along with 11 total assists.
Hailing from Tokyo, a word from our MVP.
We did it!
Your support is indispensable to our continued growth.
I hope we can lean on you again when the going gets tough.
-Thank you for being here. -Good job, Ryo!
Ryo!
You did it, Ryo!
He blew a kiss.
Did you see that?
I can't handle it. My heart's gonna explode.
-What a crazy game. -Wasn't it?
I'm so stoked
that they won the championship... or, I mean,
-that they won tonight. -Hey, is that him?
-I'm sweaty, I'm sweaty. -Yo, bro.
-Wait, I can't give you a high five. -You're a beast. Invincible.
-You have my jersey on, right? -Wait. Listen.
-And so do you? -I washed mine, so it was wet.
-I'm wearing it. -I don't feel loved.
You were on fire.
I'm glad all of you could make it.
-It was great. -I'm seriously so happy.
Next win will be Peppe's tomorrow.
Yeah, well...
-How are you feeling? Excited? -Yes, I can't wait.
I have to head to the press conference.
-Thank you so much. -Knock 'em out.
-See you soon. -Great job.
-Thanks so much. -It was so much fun.
-Thank you so much. -Don't mention it.
-"It's fine"? -What's that?
No, I said, "Don't mention it."
This is electrotherapy.
-For your foot? -Yeah, it hurts.
Is this the soy flour tea? Is that what it's called?
-You don't like it? -No, I love it.
-Thank you. -My pleasure.
-Can you feel electricity in your foot? -Yeah.
Yummy.
Has Terrace House been fun for you?
-I've been having lots of fun. -Yeah?
So...
do you have any hopes of...
falling in love while at this house?
Whenever I'm not in a relationship, I don't tend to
pine after finding a partner.
I tend to find love when I'm not actively searching for it.
Wow. I feel like that's why you're so popular with women.
I'm not that popular.
-That's a superpower. -What is?
That you can find love without searching for it.
I don't think you can attract people unless you have your ducks in a row.
So, for example, if I were...
living without goals or discipline, I wouldn't attract the right person.
But if I focus on my practice and bettering myself,
and live in a way that I can proudly present to others,
I believe that the person I hope to meet will eventually find their way to me.
So you aren't proactively working to create romantic connections at all?
-I want things to proceed naturally. -I see...
I want to wake up one day and realize that I've found love.
That's the ideal situation.
I had so much fun on our drive the other day.
-Where did you go? -We went together, remember?
-Oh, our trip? -Am I the only one that had tons of fun?
I had a lot of fun.
-You said you have three games this week? -That's right.
-Let's find time to do dinner. -Okay.
-I want to chat with you more. -You, too.
YAMAZAKI Y SHOP DAITA SANKATSU STORE
BIG COMIC SPIRITS
CIAO! TERRACE HOUSE
Good morning.
NEW SERIES! MINGO
PEPPE
-Could I take all of these? -Yes, if you wish.
They all have the same content. Do you still want all of them?
-Yes, I don't mind that. -Okay.
Okay, hold on...
I don't think I brought enough cash for all of them.
I'll put a few back.
-Can I have these, please? -Yes, of course.
I drew this manga.
You wrote this story? Let's have a look.
-This one here? You did? -Yes, I wrote that.
-This one? -Yes, that's my story.
Wow, incredible.
-I'll make time to read it. -Thank you so much.
I'll be your biggest fan.
Okay, so...
This will be your total today.
-Your change is 800 yen. -Thank you.
Thank you for stopping in.
-It's right next to Jump magazine. -Indeed.
-Thanks again. -Are you a fan of manga?
-I'm a manga artist. I love it. -I see.
I moved to Japan to create this.
Really? How lovely.
-I'll make sure to tell everyone about it. -I'd love that.
-The more readers, the merrier. -Thank you so much.
Thank you for stopping by.
I loved that so much.
She is my favorite character in all of Terrace House.
-She's the best! -So sweet.
This is my favorite scene ever.
It's on top for me, too.
-How nurturing. -So kind.
-I want to cry. -Where is that shop?
-Wow! -I want to visit it.
-It was like a scene from a movie. -Right?
Like it was directed by Yoji Yamada.
-I agree. -Yeah.
-That scene was amazing. -People like her still exist?
"They all have the same content. Is that all right?"
-"I'll tell everyone about it." -"I'll be your biggest fan."
She brought me to tears.
-This is my favorite scene ever. -That was the best.
When I'm having a rough day, I'll watch that.
-I totally will, too. -I want to go chat with her.
There'd be chaos if we released the location.
Where could it be?
When it's cold enough for them to carry baos, I'll go visit.
I want to buy a bao specifically from her.
-Me, too. -That'd be amazing.
Ryo is probably into that kind of woman.
He said he prefers older, reliable women, but she's maybe a bit too old.
A lot older than him.
-But look how cute she is. -She sure is.
-And she's kind. -So charming.
We found that soothing, but Yu seems bummed. What's wrong?
I was surprised by how stoic and regimented Ryo was.
I get it. I think he could...
-I mean, we work really hard, too. -Of course.
-He could loosen up a bit. -But, I guess I'm...
-nowhere near his level. -There's no need for self-doubt.
You are as amazing, if not more.
-You think so? -Of course you are!
Every so often, Ryo treats himself to fancy food and drinks,
and he says he gets criticized for it.
-Really? -I also think that,
because Hana is showing interest in him, he said those things to try to
-gently deter her from him. -Interesting.
"If I focus on bettering myself, the right person will appear."
-Which basically translates to... -He hasn't met her yet.
-My hunch is that's what he's doing. -I see.
In that case, he's a master communicator.
It's a high-level technique.
The person listening would think,
"I get it. He's focusing all his energy into basketball."
That's how it would come off.
It doesn't offend the other person.
Right. What Ryo is saying
in a roundabout way is that he's not in love right now.
-Interesting. -That's an advanced technique.
-He's a maven. -A certified maven.
I think he's trying to curb her expectations.
He says that, but what was up with this gesture?
-We can't gloss over that. -That is confusing.
Maybe he has adopted the Western style of platonic touch.
For him, that might be all it is.
I've never seen friends do that in foreign dramas.
It doesn't happen.
-It happens more in Western culture. -Right?
-Cupping the knee. -You think?
Yeah.
When there's someone as cute as Torichan,
it's hard to resist giving her a friendly pat on the head, right?
When you rubes see that, you immediately make a huge fuss about it.
Like the dumb-dumbs you are.
-That's my take-- -You can pick on me, but not Yu.
He didn't say anything.
We weren't referring to him to begin with.
-With the foreign players on your team... -Yes?
Do you see them displaying that much... physical touch?
With the foreign players...
-The guys... -Do they do that with their teammates?
I'm sure they have outings with women present.
Oh. So, in those moments, I could see them doing that.
-Interesting. -They might do a hand over the shoulder.
So, that's pretty normal.
And you're saying there's no romantic interest there?
-It's a friendly gesture? -Well, to me,
-it looks quite intimate. -I see.
Who knew?
Honestly, when you see those gestures,
would you think, like, "Seriously?"
Not really. Sorry.
Hold on. How dare you talk down to me!
I'll have you know, I'm the only person on this panel who's married.
-I have a wife. -You're right. Sorry.
I almost forgot...
-That you're married and still a virgin. -What the?
-Unbelievable. -Lies.
Are you all right?
-I'm okay. Yes, I'm fine. -Are you sure?
-Did you bust your lip? -No, fortunately.
My lips are okay. Wait!
Please sign my copy, sensei.
Of course.
I'm buying a copy, too.
Please sign mine as well.
-Welcome home. -Look at that gold tracksuit.
-How cool. -You smell so good.
Where have you been?
He said he would.
I finally found copies.
-I had to hunt for them. -I found them easily.
I bought so many copies.
-I couldn't find any today. -Huh?
I finally found them.
-You got so many copies! -How many are there?
-Did you buy their entire stock? -Of course I did.
Have you read it yet?
Yes, I have.
-I read it this morning. -Did it make you teary?
I didn't cry.
-But my hands shook with excitement. -Whoa.
And I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.
I turned through every page.
-Were you so happy? -You're a pro now.
-It's overwhelming. -Can you believe it?
It's crazy that they released my manga nationally.
That is insane.
-Is this Ruka? -It is.
-It's a spitting image. -Crazy.
Nice.
I used a photo to sketch that.
As a token of my appreciation, I made dessert for you today.
Although, Emika has seen it already.
-You made dessert for us? -The mixer was on forever.
I want some!
So, I made tiramisu.
But I wanted to make it more interesting than plain tiramisu.
So I made a tiramisu that you've never seen before.
I'll leave the rest here. You can have it tomorrow.
You can make tiramisu?
It's pretty easy.
What do you mean by "a tiramisu you've never seen"?
I hope it's good! I've never made this version.
Crazy. I want to take photos.
-You have to. -I'll move my hand.
-You take this biscuit... -We're dipping it?
Dip it in the espresso.
-Dip it in the espresso... -Okay.
Then scoop a bit like this... and eat it.
-Whoa. -Wow.
-How is it? -Yummy.
Super tasty.
What is this magic?
The sweet and bitter flavors balance each other out well.
What well-crafted food reporting that was.
-I sense sarcasm. -It was perfection.
So, tonight...
will be my last night here.
No...
So I wanted to treat you with tiramisu.
Tiramisu has a meaning.
It means "to give joy."
I wanted to have a happy goodbye with all of you.
Today is a happy day.
I wanted to celebrate my manga and my departure with a yummy treat.
This isn't goodbye. We'll see each other for sure.
Why are you leaving?
Work is too intense.
-I see. -My upcoming schedule...
It's going to be intense beyond what I'd initially imagined.
I wouldn't have any time to hang.
I wanted to take time to make this for you.
I wish nothing but happiness for everyone, so I hope this dish gives you joy.
Please don't cry. Seriously.
Please. I beg you, don't cry.
-This is not goodbye. -Yeah...
I need to be a hermit and focus on work for a little while.
-Okay. -So, you know...
I'll tell you my address. You can come by any time.
-We should bring wine and crash his place. -Truly, come any time.
I'll interrupt your work all the time.
You wouldn't be interrupting. You're invited any time.
You've given us an abundance of happy memories.
I wholeheartedly agree.
From now on, you'll give us happiness every week.
-Mingo will be our beacon of joy. -I'll try my best.
Mingo will keep us happy.
I had so much fun here.
