00:00Thanks, come again.
00:08Did he reply?
00:09Feels like he texted Yoshi dude eons ago.
00:12You know, about me chilling at your place after work.
00:14Oh, I haven't checked.
00:19What'd he say?
00:21Sure, but Asumi's coming over too much?
00:24Because the best way to use your summer break is to spend it with your soulmate.
00:28Totally.
00:30Well, guess I'll go stock the shelves.
00:33Hmm?
00:35There it is again.
00:37Hmm?
00:38I've seen that car parked nearby a lot lately.
00:41They never come in to buy anything, though.
00:49Hasta la vista.
00:50Like, what's their deal?
00:52Wasting gas for funsies?
00:53Not another problem like this!
01:03Like what?
01:04Easier to show than tell.
01:06What reason did Toyotaro have for stating the phrase underlined in A?
01:10Choose the answer that most accurately describes the character's intent.
01:13Doesn't seem that strange to me.
01:16Girl, that's not the issue.
01:18It's how annoying they all are.
01:20I can solve this kind, no prob.
01:22How's the person who wrote the question supposed to know what Toyotaro's thinking?
01:25That the writer is like, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but dude, yours is just plain wrong.
01:29Well, I'm not so sure the writer would be that blunt about it.
01:33I see your point.
01:34Thank you!
01:35Ugh!
01:36Wish I could just say screw it.
01:38My future depends on these exams, though.
01:41So I have no choice but to suck it up and study.
01:44Now that I've met you, Yoshida, I don't have to run.
01:52I can just live.
01:55And I'm okay now.
01:58I can think about the future.
02:00The future?
02:02I used to worry about where I'd have to run to next, but now I can focus on where I choose to be.
02:08Sayu.
02:09So please.
02:10May I stay?
02:15I can't do it without you.
02:21My future is still so hazy.
02:25I guess I should be aiming to head back home to Hokkaido.
02:32But once I get there, what comes next?
02:36You good?
02:37Did your soul, like, leave your body?
02:40Just lost in thought.
02:42I'm having a hard time deciding what I should make for dinner tonight.
02:45Ah, you housewife.
02:47But I feel you, girl.
02:49Coming up with daily meals is tough.
02:53Here's an idea for you.
02:55You could serve those special box lunches our store got in for exam season.
02:59Have you seen them?
03:00He's messaging Sayu again?
03:14I'm chilly.
03:18Big time.
03:20Wish I had his number and could text him all day long.
03:23Yoshida.
03:24Hey, um, everything okay?
03:26I have a question about the documents you sent over concerning this section right here.
03:32Fire away.
03:32I feel your explanation's vague.
03:34Can you go into a little more detail, please?
03:36Yeah, absolutely.
03:37Think you'll have it done in time for this afternoon's meeting?
03:43For sure.
03:44Thanks, Yoshida.
03:57Something wrong, Mishima?
03:58Not work-wise.
04:01I was just wondering if you'd like to grab lunch.
04:05Today?
04:10Are those Chinese noodles any good?
04:12Um, guess I'll find out.
04:14This is the first time I've gotten them.
04:17Oh, felt like taking a risk.
04:21Noodles aside, why don't we dive into what you want to discuss with me?
04:28What exactly are your thoughts regarding Yoshida lately?
04:34How do you mean?
04:36In what way?
04:40What's so funny?
04:41I'm sorry, your face just looks so somber.
04:45Oh gosh, did it?
04:46It did.
04:50As for Yoshida, I've noticed his appearance has improved in a number of ways, and he leaves precisely at closing time.
04:57Word around the office is he got himself a girlfriend, so...
05:00Well, yeah.
05:01Hmm?
05:02But something tells me you know the truth, don't you?
05:05The truth?
05:06How Yoshida does have a girl in his life, but not in the way everyone thinks.
05:12You're referring to Sayu, right?
05:15So then you do know what's really going on.
05:18Yes.
05:19I've even spoken with her.
05:21No.
05:22She's a very nice girl.
05:24Nice enough not to worry you one bit?
05:27She lives with him, and like it or not, there is a chance that she could steal his heart.
05:31You see her doing that?
05:33Mm-hmm.
05:35What do you think?
05:37Well, if it happens, then I guess it happens.
05:41What?
05:42You can't control other people's feelings, no matter how much you'd like to.
05:46I know that.
05:47Say I were to interfere and I achieved my preferred result.
05:51I doubt it would do me any good in the long run since I obtained my goal through unnatural means.
05:56So, what are you saying?
06:00Just give it up?
06:01Don't even bother trying for what you want?
06:04I'm not saying it's pointless to put in effort.
06:06You should.
06:08But you can't force an outcome.
06:10In the end, things will be what they're supposed to be.
06:12You want to know what I think?
06:17It's not that you don't want to try.
06:18You're just afraid to.
06:20You could work your tail off to get what you want, but the possibility of it slipping through your fingers will always be there.
06:26That's why you think it's better for things to play out as they will, so you don't waste your time?
06:30Look, Mishima.
06:32No, you look!
06:33Life's short, and I'm much more scared of losing things I could have had because I was arrogant enough to think they'd fall in my lap if I sat there looking pretty!
06:39People are staring.
06:40Please lower your voice.
06:48I can be quieter.
06:51Anyway, we shouldn't do anything until we know how Yoshida feels about Sayu.
06:56In this particular case, I think waiting would be for the best.
07:00Goto, you're talking like this doesn't involve you.
07:04Well, because it doesn't.
07:06Oh, yeah? His feelings don't involve the ones in love with him?
07:09I do love him.
07:15Which is why interfering won't matter.
07:17Love isn't self-seeking.
07:21I do not understand you.
07:26I don't understand how you're so cute.
07:28That's the creepiest way you could have responded.
07:32Wait up, Yoshida.
07:50What's going on?
07:51Was there some kind of problem?
07:53You want to go see a movie?
07:55What?
07:55You could have politely smiled and said no thanks instead of looking annoyed.
07:59I'm sorry.
08:00It's not that I was annoyed by you.
08:02It's just Sayu is making something special for dinner tonight.
08:05Oh.
08:05So it was because you already have plans.
08:10Better idea.
08:11How about you give me your phone number instead, then you can make your merry way home.
08:15Konnichiwa.
08:16Why would I do that?
08:20Sayu and Goto both have your digits, so it's not like they're secret.
08:23Well, yeah.
08:24Plus, it's helpful to exchange contact info with people who work in your department.
08:29Yeah, you have my email.
08:31Stop stalling and give me your phone.
08:33I'll add myself to your contacts, too.
08:40Fine.
08:42Fair warning, though.
08:43I'm not a very exciting guy to communicate with.
08:46I don't even know what we'd talk about besides work.
08:49Well.
08:50If I were more outgoing, I might see the appeal of wanting my contact info.
08:54I'm just not the type of guy who randomly messages people for the heck of it.
08:58I can pretty much guarantee I won't have interesting replies, no matter what you choose to send.
09:03Yoshida, let me get this straight.
09:06Basically, you are a blob.
09:09One that's far too boring and withdrawn into his introverted self to make it worth exchanging information,
09:15unless there's a special reason.
09:17Yeah, something like that.
09:18Maybe not a blob, though.
09:19I swear.
09:26Screw your values!
09:27If you're unworthy by your own standards, they need a serious re-evaluation, capisce?
09:31You go through the motions and pretend to care about others and what they think,
09:34but at the end of the day, it's always your way or the highway,
09:37because apparently Yoshida knows best.
09:39Even if you believe you're being thoughtful, it'd be much more considerate to meet them halfway.
09:43Bye, you routinely convince yourself your actions are for the sake of others,
09:46which is one bad habit I think should go.
09:49Like now, you gave all those reasons why I shouldn't exchange contacts with you.
09:56How do you think that makes me feel after I already grabbed the phone from your hand?
10:02Jeez, Mishima.
10:03Tell me how you really feel.
10:06Pine, here it goes!
10:09Love is the only thing I'm feeling right now because I'm in love with you!
10:12Just a little bit.
10:20A little, huh?
10:21Okay.
10:26Well, anyway, I wanted your contact info, so I forced you to give it to me.
10:31Your communication skills didn't factor into this equation.
10:35Hopefully, that's a good enough reason for you.
10:37Uh, after everything that you just said, I'm almost positive it has to be.
10:42You remind me of an honest kid just trying to do what others tell him.
11:04Uh-huh.
11:09I really like that about you.
11:11So, you meant pork cutlet rice bowls?
11:28Uh-huh.
11:28I can't take all the credit for this dinner, though.
11:31It was Awesommy's idea.
11:32She was over here studying for exams,
11:34and mentioned how the convenience store stocks up on these.
11:37Could call, right?
11:38They get them for students?
11:40Yep, so they can hog all the luck and pig up the win.
11:43That is the lamest thing I've ever heard in my life.
11:46You think it's that lame?
11:47Well, I laughed my head off when I heard it, since it was the first time for me.
11:51Shall we pig out?
11:57Pig out? You mean pig up a win? But over who?
12:00Uh, good question.
12:03Maybe yourself?
12:06Because, like, you're your own worst enemy, so conquer it.
12:09Hmm, delicious.
12:14I'm my own worst enemy. Hmm.
12:20A lot of decisions I've made lately were for the sake of helping Sayu out.
12:25At least, that's what I keep telling myself.
12:29But now that I'm looking back, wasn't I just doing what I wanted, with hardly a moment's hesitation?
12:35Yoshida?
12:35Yes?
12:37Do you not like it?
12:38Oh no, I'm loving every bite. It's just...
12:42Just what?
12:44Eating this dish smack dab in the middle of summer feels really weird.
12:48I know, it's super hot.
12:49You seem to be a tad more into it than usual.
13:06Work has been keeping me busy, but I have a chance to clean all the nooks and crannies today.
13:11Oh yeah?
13:12I'll help too.
13:13Hey, no, the only thing you should be doing is relaxing since it's your day off.
13:23The futon weighs almost as much as you do.
13:24Yeah, it's heavy, but...
13:26How much it weighs is completely beside the point.
13:30The chores are my job as long as I'm here.
13:32There's nothing wrong with me pitching in every now and then.
13:35Pete's being bored out of my mind.
13:37I said no!
13:48Whoa, I'm sorry.
13:51Sayu.
13:52What? What's wrong?
13:56The rag?
13:57I'm double sorry now. Take it off and I'll wash it.
14:02Just a shirt. Calm down.
14:07Um, maybe shower while you're at it? Your hair's dirty too.
14:11It's dirty?
14:12Oh yeah. Way greasy.
14:14Gotcha. Then I guess you know where to find me.
14:17Hmm?
14:27Yoshida? Is it okay to sort through the box in the closet or should I leave it alone?
14:32Uh...
14:33Oh, you can sort away.
14:35This is heavier than the dang futon.
14:37Hmm.
14:37Hmm.
14:57That's what he looked like in high school?
15:04Hmm.
15:20That's an oldie.
15:23Were you dating?
15:25We did.
15:27A player with Mad Game on and off the field.
15:30I had one girlfriend.
15:31Is that really so weird?
15:32Whoa, who said anything about it being weird?
15:36It's just new.
15:38In all my time here, you've never once talked about your past loves.
15:43She's pretty.
15:44Yeah, don't I know it.
15:46She was the senior everybody admired.
15:49Senior?
15:50You weren't kidding when you said you like older women.
15:53But Goto and this girl make it clear their looks matter too.
15:56What do you know?
15:57I know I got you blushing.
15:59Always make the tease worth a squeeze.
16:00You realize who specializes in teasing?
16:02Little kids.
16:03Goodness, that was a pretty sassy comeback for you.
16:06Sorry, I'll stop.
16:07Oh, yeah.
16:07Oh, yeah.
16:09Hmm?
16:10Well, I, um, kind of remembered something.
16:17My ex once told me I was, uh, clingy.
16:19And she wasn't teasing.
16:23Clingy?
16:23She basically said I cared about her too much and that overly attentive guys were a total turnoff.
16:30Gosh, Yoshida.
16:32It's hard to imagine you being that into somebody.
16:35Though we may have been young, we were still dating.
16:37Besides, isn't it natural to show affection to the people you like?
16:41Love makes us do all sorts of things.
16:44And I want to see the ones I love smiling, being the happiest they've ever been.
16:48I also want to be the one who provides that happiness for them, if I can.
16:52That's kind of what it means to give a relationship your all, isn't it?
16:56Then, what about our relationship?
17:06Huh?
17:07Uh, I, um, you're really lighting up out there on cleaning day?
17:14Guess that would stink up the place pretty quick.
17:16I'm going on break.
17:44Swanky, car's back.
17:45Look, can't miss it.
17:49It's pulling in.
17:52No way.
17:53They gonna get out and walk their polished shoes in our store?
17:57Of course this weirdo's got a chauffeur.
18:07Hey, what's wrong?
18:11Wait, do you know them?
18:15People you'd rather not see?
18:26Stay low to the ground and get in the office.
18:30Now.
18:30Sorry to disrupt your hard day's work.
18:49Here, let me leave you one of my business cards.
18:53Huh.
18:53I've been looking for a girl named Sayu Ogiwara for quite some time.
18:59Does she work at this establishment?
19:02Nah, no one here goes by that.
19:04You sure you have the right store?
19:06Where's your manager?
19:08You're out of luck.
19:09They're off duty today.
19:10But, no worries.
19:11I can relay whatever message you have, if you want.
19:15I think I'll pass.
19:19What?
19:20Your brother?
19:21So he's like a few short steps outside that door?
19:24And he came because he wants to take you home?
19:26That's right.
19:28I think.
19:28My brother is actually here.
19:38He's been looking for me.
19:40But, I'm still not ready to go back to that house.
19:45Never fear, the coast is clear.
19:47Thanks.
19:49You're the last person I expected to help me out.
19:51It's no big deal.
19:53I can hardly stand guys like that to begin with.
19:55Guys like what?
19:56The ones who hold the power.
20:00Their bloated heads somehow reach the conclusion they can use their authority to control people's lives.
20:06Side note.
20:07That dude is serious.
20:09You won't be able to escape him forever, that's for damn sure.
20:12You're right.
20:14I won't.
20:17I somehow fooled myself into thinking I would be the one who decided when I went back to Hokkaido.
20:22But I should know.
20:26Reality doesn't like to play nice.
20:30Not at all.
20:31I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:33I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:34I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:35I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:36I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:36I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:37I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:38I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:38I'm not going to be able to escape.
20:39I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:40I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:41But I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:42I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:42I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:44I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:45I'm not going to be able to escape him.
20:46I'm not going to be able to escape him.
