Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte (There's a Reason for the Love I'm Wearing / 着飾る恋には理由があって)

The yakisoba will be ready in 2 or 3 minutes.

Yes, thank you for waiting. Thank you so much.

Alright.

What's with that look?

Wait, I got it!

It's the "I want to eat popcorn too, but I might not be able to finish it off."

"So you can eat the other half" look.

What are you saying? I can eat just fine.

Then, could it be the "I'm-hesitating-whether-I- should-go-to-the-toilet-or-not" look?

So, you want me to tell you how far the next rest room stop is?

That's not it.

I want to commemorate this day with a picture...

But I guess, that look you have on your face is the "I'm-not-interested-in-taking-photos" look?

Haruchan!

Gimme that.

Alright.

Maybe that's because...

You probably like me or something?

That's right.

I probably like you.

Okay.

Heyyah!

How did it go? -Looks nice!

What's with that look?

Oh? Is Mashiba-chan looking this way?

So cute.

Here.

Don't need to go to the rest room?

I'm fine. -You are?

Hase-san, if you get the sit dirty with food, Kouko-san will scold you for that.

I'll make sure to be careful.

Well then, let's head back home.

Hey, wait. This isn't the time to head back home yet.

We should drop by first at "Soba Kyu."

A soba restaurant? -Yeah. Stone milled, whole soba flour.

It's very good!

A soba that gives off a good feeling as it goes down in your throat as the scent of buckwheat seeps out of your nose.

The extracted liquid seeps in deep and is so mild.

So mild!

That tastes so good!

I would immediately nominate it as a last supper candidate.

Something that you'd eat in the last moment of your life?

Yes, candidate 1 would be "Soba Kyu"; their Kakiage tempura set.

2nd, a Hokkaido local which is the "three-color seafood don bowl."

And 3rd, I'd eat the Squid ink paella I ate from Barcelona.

You want to get your teeth black at the end of your life?

I wouldn't want that.

And what would yours be?

Let me see.

Anyway, somehow, I'm getting the urge to eat soba as well.

I see. Well then, we only need to go there!

Then, I'll need to contact the rest about this.

The 4 of us...

It's not 4, but for 2, right?

We can go with just the two of us.

Where are you right now? Did you change route?

I'm sorry. Please go ahead of us.

Your soba is now served.

Thank you for the food.

Here we go.

Alright, here's your Kakiage tempura set.

Wait, wait.

No!

You really know nothing, you novice.

First of all, take atleast 2-3 soba strands and eat it just like that.

Let your throat enjoy the sensation---

I'll eat it the way I want to.

Please excuse me.

It's good!

Nothing less from my last supper candidate.

"Soba Kyu" specialty: Tempura Manju.

Wanna try it?

Are you sure?

Say "gimme please" first and I'll give you some.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Nevermind. It'd be bad of me.

You aren't honest.

Here.

Thank you!

It's good!

Right?!

Fujino? Fujino!

Oh, it's been a while!

You finally came!

When was the last time you came here?

You were with Sasaki and Tanaka back then.

Hana was there with you too, right?

That time!

That was the day we just got back from climbing Mt. Fuji.

We were so ecstatic that day.

You even let me see a lot of the beautiful, rising sun shots that you took that day.

Kakiage tempura set...

Here's my share.

I'll go take a look at the souvenirs they have over there.

A total of 2360 yen.

Thank you so much for the food.

Thank you so much!

360 yen…

Wait, wait.

Here, this is for you. Please take it. Our Tempura Manju.

You were eating it with keen enjoyment.

Oh, my. I'm so grateful! Thank you so much!

Not at all.

We leave Fujino in your care, alright?

Let's go.

We're back.

Hey, welcome home!

Sorry, we got back home late.

We went to eat soba!

Just the two of you?!

Because the shop's too small.

That's the reason...?

Everyone's here now, right?

I have bad news, and an even worse news.

Which one do you want to hear first?

I don't want to hear either of them.

What is it?

What is it? What is it?

The Lotus Island local agent...

The place where you're about to go for your abroad studies?

1.78 million yen.

The amount that got stolen from me.

Stolen?!

I left everything in the management of a local Japanese agent that we hired.

The fees for the Language school, Cooking school tuition, as well as the first 3 months-stay fee.

I paid for everything already but I didn't receive the admission permit.

So, I had my staff look it up for me.

...went bankrupt last month.

When I contacted the embassy, a similar remittance scam was recently reported. There were many cases about it...

A scam?

Then, how about your overseas studies?

Of course, it's canceled now.

Furthermore...

You still have something much worse than that?

That guy appeared.

That guy?

Could it be... Reiji-san?

You cannot say his name!

That guy would be...?

If I remember correctly, it's her ex-husband.

Wait, did he come to this house?

That's right! He came in shamelessly! And do you know what he said?

Kou-chan...

Oh, you still remember me? What a good boy you are, Kouji.

You're trespassing! I'll call the police on you.

Here. I came here to give this back to you. Seems like it got mixed into my belongings.

You're leaving Japan soon...

Please go home.

When I contacted your manager, seems like something happened.

I know, I'm not in the right position to say this, but...

But I, even until now...

I still think of you as a family member.

That hurt! That hurts!

He seems like a nice guy.

What?

It was something that Reiji-san suddenly blurted out first...

He said, "I can't live with you anymore!"

I said something I shouldn't have. I'm so sorry.

When that guy acts kind, there's always some motive behind it.

Could it be, he's trying to get this house back?!

Give me a break. Alright! I'll give it to you!

Let's go sit on the sofa? -Sit on the sofa and calm down.

I'll go and pack my things and move to a remote mountain!

Come on, let's go to the sofa. To the sofa.

Let's make it a little better for you. First, let's feel the gravity of the space.

Please sit here, yes. Calm down for a moment.

When something bad happens, all the energy goes up.

So, lower your consciousness.

Lower down the consciousness.

Feel the gravity.

Let's solve each problems, at ease.

That's right.

I'll consult a lawyer tomorrow.

That's fine.

We'll help you with anything.

It'll be fine if you leave things to Haruchan.

Thanks for working hard.

New summer colors. Which one do you prefer?

I see. This one, huh?

Oh, did he say "goodnight"?

Good - night - to - you.

Can't get a hold of it.

I ask you. Let me be in charge too.

They're responsible for the company's new collection. She's Hui Mei Feng, a designer.

The next season collection in May, right?

This absolutely looks so cool.

Please, allow me to assist you on this.

I want to break the work partner combi between me and Akiba.

Really? Wasn't it going well?

Wait. What's wrong?

He confessed to me.

No way.

It's not like he said he wants to go out with me.

Though, that's how it seemed to me.

What do you mean?

He just said "he likes me" or something.

But, I have to mention as well that I do have a boyfriend.

I don't want to be swayed around with something like that.

I probably like you.
