The Woman Opposite (Taigan no kanojo / 対岸の彼女)

You know,

when will i be able to change our current situation?

Mom!

I want to go and play in the sandbox.

Sure,

go ahead and play.

Here, take this.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Akari, what are you doing here?

Behave, and have fun with them, alright?

I'm really sorry.

Akari,

shall we go to the supermarket?

Akari is just like me.

Is that so?

Yeah,

about finding a job...

Yes?

What about Akari?

We can send her to daycare.

I've thought about this a lot.

Even though it's sad to send her to daycare,

Even though it's sad to send her to daycare

I believe it's good for her to interact with kids her age.

Even now...

What kind of job is it?

It's listed as a cleaning position.

Laundry?

No, it's a travel agency.

I don't understand.

"Platinum Star Planet Company".

Sorry to disturb you.

Wait a moment.

You've waited long enough.

Are you Miss. Tamura?

Yes, that's me.

I spoke to the manager about you.

Oh, I'm the manager.

Yes.

We seem to be alumni.

Really?

We graduated from the same university, in the same year.

I'm Narahashi Aoi.

I'm Sayoko Tamura. Nice to meet you.

Welcome.

Aoi, wake up!

Dad, didn't you have the night shift?

Um, I wanted to see you off.

No need.

Come on, I've been waiting up all night.

On the first day of school, you should see her off

It's okay, even if I'm late, no one will bully me.

This time, I'm going to a proper all-girls school.

There won't be any bullying like before.

I was just joking.

Are you leaving now?

What's this?

I wanted to try a different style.

Is it strange?

Get in the car.

I'm leaving.

Good morning.

Morning, hello.

Morning.

Morning.

I'm Aoi Narahashi, nice to meet you.

Let's give her a round of applause, welcome!

You sit in the back.

Alright.

Hey, hey, hey!

Aoi, why did you change back?

What do you mean?

When you first came, your skirt was shorter.

I'm Yuko Noguchi, the child of Noguchi and Nanako.

Nanako?

Did you go to the newly opened shop in front of the station?

Yeah, but there's nothing good there.

There's a donut shop next door.

Oh, great! Let's go check it out together one day.

Just hang out around there.

Get on the bus.

I'm Sayoko Tamura, plea...

Hurry up and get on.

Good morning.

Nice clothes.

Is it strange?

These clothes don't mind getting dirty.

They fit well.

Then they won't look good.

I'm Nakazato.

Looking for gloves? Stop searching.

There's nothing like that.

When cleaning, your hands are the most reliable tools.

If there's any dirt, you can tell by touching.

Everything's clean and slippery to the touch.

You wouldn't know if you wear gloves.

Work and listen at the same time, don't just stand there.

Okay.

Don't rush to drain the water, we still need it.

Use this water to wash whatever you can first.

Got it.

So dirty.

What's all this about?

Don't make a big deal out of it.

Tired?

Hey, how about some beer?

No thanks.

Right, Nakazato knows we should be upset.

I want curry.

Okay.

Is that person not from our company?

No, she's not.

I'm currently collaborating with her company.

We met at a gathering,

or you could call it a cocktail party.

Now, running a small travel agency is quite difficult.

That's why we're planning to expand into the cleaning business.

Food's ready.

Some people want someone to clean their house while they're on vacation.

I think it's a good idea.

Having someone clean the house when we're away, that's nice.

Nakazato can only help until the end of next month.

After that, we have to find clients ourselves.

Understood, right?

understood.

Thank you.

Are you regretting it now?

No, not at all.

To be honest, I do have some regrets.

You don't seem like it.

Well, stop using formal language with me.

Okay.

We're about the same age.

Hey,

does this remind you of the college cafeteria?

Which one does it remind you of?

The new one or the old one?

The old cafeteria, right?

Yeah,

remember the marinated tuna rice bowl?

It was 580 yuan per serving.

Back then, I thought it was so expensive.

The curry rice was like 170 yuan.

Yeah, the meatless curry.

Are you free today?

Why?

I'm thinking of throwing a welcome party.

I have some stuff to take care of.

Can't make it then?

Yeah.

The kids are being looked after by your mother-in-law, right?

Your mother-in-law, huh?

Her

Is she annoying?

It's not just about her being annoying.

She always likes to taunt people.

Taunt people?

And you just bear with it?

Yeah, I can't argue back either.

You know I love cream, right?

Yeah, I know.

You do?

It's delicious.

Did you used to live in Yokohama?

Yes.

In an apartment building?

Yes, an apartment building.

Apartment, huh? Which floor do you live on?

The fifth floor.

How did you do on the math test?

What?

Every time I talk to you, you always reply with, "What?"

I just got two points.

I asked Shanyejing how she did,

but she won't say. She claims no one could have scored lower than her.

Two points are already low enough.

I'm so sad, I'm so dumb.

Aoi.

Aoi.

Are you catching the bus?

Aoi, you run really fast.

Where are you getting off?

what?

Here you go again.

I'm getting off at Hiraicho.

Can I come and play?

what?

Here you go again.

Wow, Kelbis!

It's so quiet here.

Next time, I'll take you to a secret base.

I am leaving.

See you tomorrow.

see you tomorrow.

Isn't it a bit too late?

Is it not okay?

I've been making excuses several times before.

It's not good to keep refusing.
