Welcome.
-Welcome. -It's been a while.
-It's a great place you have. -Say that after you've eaten.
Your companion has already arrived.
Thank you.
-Good evening. -Ah! I started without you.
Where's Haruko-san?
-She's not coming today. -What?! Why?
-I stopped her. -What? But why?
-Good evening. -Welcome.
-Hi -Hi...
-Ah, good evening. -Sorry for calling you out suddenly.
-It's okay. -What? What is this?
I thought that just the two of us would be lonely.
What was the important thing you wanted to discuss?
Please allow me to apologise to both of you on behalf of Haruko.
I'm most sorry today's not as you'd expected.
Well then, for now, let's have a drink.
It's no good! If we force it, it could be life threatening.
We won't get another chance. I'm going too!
At the New Year shrine visit this year,
I put my hands together and prayed to god
that I'd marry the next person I went out with.
Meeting you again after all this time,
the past 12 years haven't changed my feelings for you.
Will you please go out with me with a view to getting married.
Is this song playing a coincidence?
No, I asked our teacher earlier, to play it for me.
I calculated that it would play after you'd accepted my proposal.
Thank you.
But I'm sorry.
I don't think of you that way.
I see.
Just as Mitsue-san said,
as a marriage partner, I think he's ideal but,
I just can't bring myself to think that
I'll come to love him, if we go out together.
Clair de lune by Debussy.
Pardon.
All the goings on with Makoto Masaki-san
did make me feel the excitement of first falling for someone.
If it had been the old me, I think I would have fallen for him.
Bye.
But after I hung up, I suddenly thought,
is he really the one for me.
Meeting unexpectedly in that place.
Happy Birthday Haroe.
I'll marry the first person to pass under it.
Unbelievable coincidences occurring, one after the other.
His mobile number communicated through a baseball score board.
The more I thought of it, having him as a marriage partner
filled me with anxiety.
I thought, how will it turn out going out with him like this.
I found one downside after the other.
And so I let another chance to fall in love get away from me again.
Because of me, it's come to this...
It's not your fault, it's mine.
It's not Masaki's fault.
It's me that's become unable to
think in any other way.
She wanted to tell you herself that
she's no intention of getting involved with you but
I think that if she was face to face with you, she couldn't clearly say it.
So you were in love with Haruko too.
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hide it!
-She behaved badly to you too Sadaoka-kun. -Why's that?
What she said to you was thoughtless.
Ah, don't worry about it.
I realize that I'm not the one.
And so I'm completely giving up.
That's for the best.
You're giving up?
I've always moved on pretty quick.
I gave up on baseball in highschool, and went with lacross in Uni.
You certainly look the type for lacross.
-I'm sometimes told cricket too. -I see.
So would you tell Haruko for me,
there's no need to feel uncomfortable the next time we meet.
I wonder if that's possible for her.
I don't intend to give up just yet.
I don't want to say anything bad so please give up.
Haruko's no longer capable of falling in love.
That's because she hasn't met the right person yet.
Many men have tried to no avail.
Isn't being afraid to make a mistake over thinking things.
Indeed. It's because women have limited time.
Well, I have limited time too.
Unlike men, after marriage comes child bearing doesn't it.
And so year after year, her requirements in a man are increasing,
If for example a man who's just right appears she'll immediately assess him and find downsides,
and before you know it, he'll be given a failing grade.
I won't get a failing grade.
I'll show you that I can pass.
I don't think it's possible.
Light of the moon, lend me your strength.
Hello?
It's Masaki. Sorry for calling you suddenly.
I'm sorry about today.
No! Please don't worry about that.
Mitsue-san told me everything. I totally understand how you feel.
But isn't it too early to come to any conclusions?
I'm sorry.
If you get to know the person I am,
I'm confident that you'll come to like me.
I'm sorry.
I can't change the way I feel any longer.
-Please wait! -I'm sorry.
Welcome home. You must be hungry.
What are you doing?
I'm making boiled tofu to warm you right to the center of your heart.
Or would you prefer a bath first. I've run one for you.
Why are you behaving like this suddenly. It's creepy.
You've worked so hard.
What?
The result is unfortunate but,
I think you've tried your best to save the world in 30 years from now.
For doing your best for the future of humanity, thank you very much.
Stop messing around.
I don't care about the saving the world.
I've seriously fallen for her.
I see. But she turned you down flat just now.
-It's not over yet. -No, it is over isn't it.
You call yourself a god but
you really don't get how people work, do you!
You can't just simply stop loving someone.
The feeling that you can't give up, even when you're rejected
that's what love is. Could you please study up on it a little more?
Thank you for those words of wisdom. Applause!
And when it comes to boiled tofu I like mine in a silk bag, not cotton.
Study harder!
But anyway, I'm reassured to hear you're not giving up.
As long as you feel that way no matter how much your hated
there's the possibility she'll come to love you.
Right.
Does she really hate me that much?
I thought she was responding to me quite well.
Okay. Question!
What food does your boss hate?
-Carrots. -Correct. And so,
get him to eat some. -What? How?
Don't you think that if you can get your boss to like
something he hates, then she can come to like you too?
Ah, so if I can get him
to eat carrots, she'll come to love me?
Do you really think it's as simple as that?
Well then, there's no point in doing it.
Given I'm taking the time to suggest this to you,
you must vaguely understand that there is a point.
Isn't it a bit mean of you to say that?
It's god's devilish proclamation. Yay!
Making Haruko your own this spring, with the carrot strategy.
Could you not talk to me in that way please.
Anyway, I got a bag for holding 2 blocks of tofu.
I don't want it.
-Here you go. -I don't want it.
I'm begging you please there's two blocks of tofu inside.
Excuse me.
-Good morning to you. -Good morning.
-Our drinks get-together the other day was fun! -Yes.
You could all hold your alcohol, I found myself drinking too much.
Has your boss said anything?
No, not really.
I see, well tell him thank you for me.
Good morning.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
How was yesterday?
Ah, Sadaoka-kun wanted me to pass on a message to you.
He said he wants you to treat him as a friend, just as always.
I'll try to.
But I don't know about your man of destiny though.
I've got the feeling that he's not completely given up yet.
He called me yesterday evening.
He really hadn't given up.
But it's fine, I turned him down flat.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-Chief, good morning. -Good morning.
Hatozaki-san wanted me to give you her regards.
Really, Masaki-kun,
you're really conscientious about such things.
-Is that bad? -No, I think it's a good thing.
-Your sincerity is actually quite moving. -Thank you very much.
Erm Chief, would you care to have lunch with me today?
Um, sure, let's do it.
Please help yourself to the carrots.
Chief, I'd like to ask you a big favour.
Yes, what?
Won't you eat some of those carrots for me?
-Ah... -Those carrots...
It's impossible.
Yum! They're delicious.
Even people who hate carrots could eat these.
Ah, delicious.
If you thinking I'm tricking you then please just try a bite.
Do you think I'd eat one, just to see if you're tricking me?
I thought you'd help your employee. Please!
Erm... but it's impossible I tell you.
-Why is that? -Why you say...
Because I hate the things I hate.
So how can I get you to eat them for me?
I won't, no matter what.
