Hello? Kariya Architecture Bureau!

What? Koroku-kun, it's for you.

I'm here.

It's Ranko. I arrived earlier today.

We have to talk. It's urgent. Come right away.

What? You're busy?

You're giving me a cold shoulder, as usual.

Then, I will come by your motel tonight.

I don't live in that motel anymore.

- Is she the woman from Osaka? - I need a room.

- You want to move? - I do.

Can I stay with you?

Unfortunately, we already have 8 people and only 6 beds.

Actually, I was going to ask to stay with you.

There are still miracles in this world, it turns out.

ROOM FOR RENT = SHIZU OE =

What's the rush?

Today's rush has a long background story.

That girl from the famous Komaki Trading in Osaka,

has been chasing him for ages.

I see.

When did you arrive?

Poor thing... What happened to the last one?

Tsugawa-san, show me this month's bills.

Hey, Ômura!

What?

Welcome.

Is your father all right over there in Osaka?

Yes, thank you.

You come here every month.

Trains are so crowded these days.

You have to travel on business.

But what can you do?

Ômura, what's the revenue?

High, as always.

From hotels and cabarets - 3 million 650 thousand.

From home and land rent - 900 thousand.

Return on investment - 300 thousand, from shares - 1 million 100 thousand.

Overall 5 million 950 thousand.

Not bad at all. Together with the bonus, it adds up to 7 million.

Seventy percent of Komaki Trading's profits come from Tokyo.

You're a money-making genius.

That's what I like about you.

At your service.

What arrogance...

Can I?

- Get lost. - Yes.

Good luck.

- How is Koroku-kun doing? - I don't know.

Didn't you meet with him?

What happened to your face?

When someone mentions Koroku, even your eye color changes.

- That's a habit I have. - A bad one.

- Better than yours. - None of your business.

At least I'm not chasing someone who doesn't even like me.

You don't know if he likes me or not.

- You're so sure of yourself? - Of course.

There are no other women like me.

You're also in love with me, aren't you?

All it takes is one year.

Only 365 days.

And then Koroku will be mine.

Who is it?

My name is Oe.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

I got a little lost, that's why I'm late.

Have you made up your mind?

You mean about the room?

Since early morning, a total of 65 people including you have approached me.

65 people?

And none of them are suitable.

I think it's better for me not to rent it at all.

I'm not suitable either?

I have a strange question...

Your name is Kawakita-sama.

Are you in any way connected with the Kawakita company in Osaka?

You work for Kawakita?

No, but this house was constructed by them.

Really?

My late husband was very proud of that.

My father is in charge of Kawakita.

What a coincidence!

Indeed.

Do you live alone in Tokyo?

Yes. Learning from other people's mistakes.

Excuse me...

It's my daughter.

Tell me, Teruko-san,

do you mind if this man stays here?

Have you considered it? I would be very grateful.

Then I don't have to sleep rough.

Do you want to move in today?

Can't I?

No, it's okay, but what about your things?

I have everything I need.

Thank you.

A cozy place for 3 thousand yen a month - not bad.

I appreciate your kindness.

Room service is until 8.30 PM.

Has anyone rented this room before?

There was one repatriate.

So at the moment there are only three of you: you, the hostess and the girl?

Teruko-sama isn't a girl.

She's married.

Her husband is in the army right now.

Married, I see...

Oh my.

Hello.

- You're early today. - Yes.

How's your arm?

Much better.

I'm glad to hear that.

We're very thankful for your help.

Not at all.

I'm not exactly a bodyguard. You should be careful going forward.

I hope it won't happen again. It would be a big problem!

What nice flowers!

We have a small garden.

Any news from your husband?

Who told you about him?

Saki-san did.

When I saw you

it didn't occur to me that you're married.

To be honest, I was a bit upset when I found out.

You can address me as miss, if you like.

That would be wrong.

What is it?

Do I have something on my face?

Everyone has their secrets.

Secrets?

Yes.

Of course. Especially beautiful things...

Why do you think these flowers are so beautiful?

I might have a secret too.

Only those who love each other don't have secrets.

- Teruko! Teruko-san... - What?

There you are.

Welcome back. How's your arm?

I'm fine now.

Teruko-san, your mum left on urgent business. She can't come.

What happened?

Hazama-san arrived!

But you have no business there.

You could go with Koroku-san.

You haven't been to Carmen at the Imperial Theatre, have you?

Kawakita-kun!

Long time no see.

Nice to meet you.

This is a rare honor.

Where are you staying?

I don't think you care.

Actually

I've been trying to find out your address.

Ranko-san has been asking me about it every day.

Who is that? Will you introduce us?

Teruko Oe.

Kawakita-kun and me are old friends.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Oe.

Oe-san, you're from Den-en-chōfu, right?

You know Hazama, don't you?

I know him very well.

I heard about your family.

You should be more careful.

Hazama is considered a demon in financial circles.

Don't worry about me.

You haven't changed at all.

Indeed.

Old wounds are still bleeding.

Do you think I forgot?

I'm not as naive as you.

Oh my! Look who is here!

All of the Tokyo elite is here.

Koroku-san, good evening.

You've finally found your Romeo.

But now he has a new Juliet.

Stop it!

Oe-san is a married woman. She helped me out a lot.
