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)

Todo Machiko...?

"Design plagiarism riot."

There's a huge mess happening over at Mashiba-chan's instagram account.

You aren't running away from all of it, right?

I know you're having a hard time with work now so I don't want you to run away from it.

At this rate, it won't work out for you.

Mashiba!

It's just making me think of running away from all of it.

Even if I force myself to dress up...

Nobody...

Mashiba, if you can't keep on smiling... It will trouble me.

Have you calmed down a bit now?

From the very start, I started that very instagram account...

...all for the company.

All the meanwhile, as I was slowly starting to...

...fill it up with that things that I liked, or things that got my interest, who would have known that eventually,

I'd get everyone furious at me, and cause huge problems for them.

Mashiba, lift up your head.

Who are you referring to by "everyone"?

You can apologize to the people you've really caused problems to as much as you want.

Other than the "everyone" you refer to, where do you put them?

Once they let go of their phones, then that's where the story ends. It isn't a big deal at all.

Well, I'm not that proud about it but...

Even I've had my own share of multiple mistakes.

In such situations, lift up your head first.

Think about the things you can do right now.

You need to change what lies ahead starting at this point.

You can't change what has happened to others.

But you can always change your future no matter how many times you want.

Uno who came here to bring this matter to you, has been able to successfully manage the restaurants he bought.

He currently has a hotel over at Hakodate that's currently under construction.

It's already a big deal in itself that he's letting you manage the main dining area.

Since this is such an important matter, I'd like to give you an answer that has been well thought of.

But, to be honest...

I do have strong feelings of wanting to go.

Shun?

This just came from Uno-san.

He says he wants you to help him out.

You're wrong. I didn't mean it to say it that way!

That's called "sympathy." -I'm home.

There's no way I'd propose to you out of sympathy.

Haruchan! You proposed to Hase-chan?

I did. I asked her.

Right when I heard she was hesitating whether to quit painting or not...

I mean, there is a thing like that, right? President?

No, I mean, I don't know, I'm not sure.

So, if I didn't bring up the matter about painting, would you have still proposed to me?

About that...

But, Haruchan, that alone...

...means you feel deeply for Hase-chan.

I have talent.

As long as I keep on drawing, believing that someday my talent will be recognized...

I need to keep honing myself.

But, Haruchan, if I end up being a baggage for you, I can't keep doing it.

That would be so painful for us.

I'm sorry.

I didn't think about what you felt and just overlooked it.

I'm genuinely sorry.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Thank you so much.

I still don't know much for now but...

Seems like Shun got invited to open up a new restaurant over at Hokkaido.

Hokkaido?

- It's funny how your followers drastically reduced. - Quit instagram. - Why'd you disappear from Instagram? - You still haven't apologized? - This issue should be dealt without hiding. - Stealthy marketing.

93,000

Lift up your head first.

Think about the things you can do right now.

What I can do for now...

Can I use this side?

Go ahead.

I think I should get a drink too.

Are you going to Hokkaido?

I haven't made up my mind yet.

Mashiba, she...

She loves the products more than anyone could.

"If that's the case, why don't you try instagram?" I told her.

I'm the one who suggested her to do it.

So irresponsible of me, right?

It's a critical time and I can't even protect her.

Then...

What can we possibly do?

I don't even have enough time to spare.

Makes me hate myself.

Just like the Orca...

I'm already used to that puzzling nickname.

Just like you, Hayama-san...

Who's able to make a move after making up your mind...

It makes me think about being that way too.

I don't want to say anything much.

If it was me, I think I would go to Hokkaido.

That's right. I do move forward after making a decision, but...

In exchange...

I had to abandon a lot of things.

I see.

That in its own way...

...sounds melancholic.

You say good things.

Well then...

What should we do?

Please excuse us.

I wonder if Todo will hold a press conference next week?

I wonder what she'll talk about.

For now, let's come up with the next steps after seeing the press conference.

Alright.

Alright, Kayano-chan. Here you go. -Thanks.

Sure!

Have a look at this. -Got it.

A rough time for them.

All because I got pulled out.

I apologize.

Actually, they're surprisingly doing pretty good.

The reminder.

I'll take care of instagram. -Go ahead.

Alright!

Before you know it, your subordinates have started growing up.

The same goes for you, Mashiba.

If ever something happens to you, I'll definitely rush over to you.

With you, one more time... I want us to start over as a married couple.

Hey, what time does your work end tomorrow?

I have an early shift tomorrow, so I'll be out by 4PM.

Let's go eat something delicious.

But, as of now, I can't seem to muster the energy to go and walk out.

Ouch! That hurt!

Mashiba Kurumi. When I say we're going, we're going!

Here you are. Thanks for waiting.

Well then, see you tomorrow at 1 PM.

This is happiness!

Haruchan! What did I say just now?

You said this is happiness. Why?

That's right. I've lived a happy life.

Enough.

Over here! -Mashiba-chan!

That looks good! -Want some beer?

Yes!

I wanted to go today with everyone!

Because, you see...

Looking at him now... -Thanks for waiting. Here you go.

I wonder if that's my last look at him.

3 curry? 3? 2? Just 2? Alright.

Is he really going to Hokkaido?

Well, it's not going to happen anytime soon yet so...

There's infinite possibilities after all.

Hey...

I'm going to quit painting.

I'm going to quit and get a stable job.

I'm scheduled for an interview tomorrow.

To become an Art bookstore staff.

Please don't make that "concerned" look on your faces.

I have a feeling that possibilities will open up for me from now on...

Somehow, I now feel so better.

I feel so thrilled.

Once you make up your mind, you push forward.

You don't need a counselor then.

Alright! We're drinking today!

You mean, we're drinking today "too".

Shut up.

This is so crisp and crunchy.

Then, why don't we go around again? -Let's go.

Then, I'll stay here to keep a look. -Sure, thanks.

Wait! You are going this way.

Straight ahead.

Here you go. Thanks for waiting. -Thank you so much!

Alright, please hold this part.

Mama, follow me. Here you go. -Alright!

Fujino! Fujino! -Hey!

Just caught today.

It really is something!

Looking great, right?

Excuse me, are you Mashiba?

I'm always looking at your instagram account! I've been supporting you!

Can we take a photo with you?

Come on.

Please take a photo with us.

Hey! The curry had just been taken out. Hurry.

Excuse me.

A bad timing for us. Alright, who wants to eat curry?

Here! Alright, let's go.

Here you are.

Thanks for the food.

I want us to start over again.

We were never able to talk properly last time.

As I expected, looking at this...

No matter how much effort was exerted to get this prepared...

Even when I've made an elaborate menu out of it...

It's no match against fresh ingredients.

That's why...

About the Hokkaido matter...

I'm thinking of accepting it.

I will support you.

But about you, Kurumi...

I also...

...will be on the search for something that I can do.

So...

I'm aiming of becoming a buyer here in Tokyo.

I will support you.

Thanks for the food.

Dig in.

It's so good.

I've been wanting to hear you say that.
