Life goes on

At sad times, is talking about my sadness just being weak?

At painful times, is it okay if I spill out my pain?

As darkness closes in,

even if I lose my courage,

you're here with me now

I'll step forth without confusion now

The tears that flowed will surely become shining makeup,

gently enveloping

What you told me in that way you always do

So never stop believing, keep on advancing

Life goes on

Things I can do for you...

Well, just what is there?

Things I'm bad at,

there are so many of them.

I suddenly remember your words and bow my head.

On this night where the stars seem within grasp,

I'll pledge my unending love.

The tears that flowed will surely become shining makeup...

These shaking hands,

Even if my voice doesn't reach you and I feel like giving up,

I won't let go of your hand that I've grasped... I'll keep going.

Next up is a case that's gone unsolved for over 30 years.

"Mysterious Unsolved Case Files" continues.

The victim, K-kun, was returned safely two months after the kidnap.

Despite an intense investigation by the police,

the true culprit of K-kun's kidnap was never found over these past 28 years.

The case has gone unsolved.

No! I don't want any!

Eat it.

Home...

I wanna go home!

I said, eat it.

No!

Young Master.

Sorry, Chikage.

It was just the usual.

If anything happens, please call for me.

Next on "Mysterious Unsolved Case Files"-

I'd be lying if I said I'm not a lucky man.

You were late to the office today, weren't you?

I've quit.

I thought I'd start a cake bakery.

Oh, that's nice.

Shall I invest in it, too?

Then I should find you an excellent baker.

Thank you, Mother and Father.

My parents weren't shocked even though I suddenly said I had resigned from a top-class firm.

A fulfilling career.

A fulfilling life.

But somewhere deep inside, a dark emptiness is buried.

That recurring nightmare.

Just what happened then?

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Ono Yusuke.

Er, Tachibana-san?

What is it, Ono? Tell me.

Well, I...

I love you!

I love you!

I love you!

I love you!

I love you!

Did... Did I say something wrong?

Ah, uh, no, my f-father must have been talking too much.

Of course not.

Thank you for the interview.

I've been looking for somewhere to go to since I was fired from the last shop I worked at.

Anyway, if it's fine with you, would you please try this?

It's not like it's a hiring test, but I gave it a shot, so...

I can't judge the work of a man who started out in a three-star Parisian restaurant,

and has worked as a pâtisserie in some of Japan's finest western-style bakeries.

No, really, I want you to try it.

Choux a la creme, financier, and shortcake.

I believe these three taste will determine the status of the shop.

Please tell me if you if you like the butter, cream, and fruits I've chosen.

By the way, about me...

Yes?

He doesn't remember, does he?

Perhaps I'm mistaking him for someone else with the same name.

Anyway, I'd like to hire you,

but there's one question I have to ask.

I understand.

"Why is it that no matter where you work, you get fired within a year?" right?

Uh, well.

Nearby, at Gohachi, two male employees traded blows over you.

At Angelique, your deep bonds with the manager led to bloodshed.

At Acatae, a schoolboy who worked part-time attempted suicide due to his yearning for you.

That's about it for what I've heard regarding your history.

My apologies.

It's an embarrassing past, I wish I could blur it out...

Well, it won't be a problem here, will it?

For now, I intend to have just the two of us in this shop.

But that's dangerous!

You say, because...

Well, Mr. Tachibana, you're my type, so...

It's definitely...

He doesn't recognize me, but it definitely is that Ono.

It'll be a distraction, won't it?

It doesn't seem like this to me, but.

Are you a man-eating gay no matter where you go?

It's not like that, but...

He remembers?

Er... Tachibana-san.

Promise me you won't laugh if I tell you?

Nah, if it's amusing enough, I'll laugh.

Then, what should I do...

But, I guess I'd better tell you.

Please listen, Tachibana-san!

I'm...

I'm the gay of demonic charm.

R-really!

Demonic charm, with that air headed face?

Demonic charm, with that monkey head?

Yes, "demonic charm."

But!

I didn't ask them out or even tell them I was gay at any of those jobs!

But when they found out, they all...

It's all right. I'll be fine, so don't worry about it.

I guess it's best if I tell you everything.

Tachibana-san, come out with me.

Let's go.
