I'm Your Destiny (ボク、運命の人です。)

I like you.

I like you too.

What... then...

I'm sorry for the late response but,

yes, I'll go out with you.

Tha...ks.

-Please take it. -But you'll get wet going home.

I bought it for you as a birthday present.

It's the umbrella I didn't manage to give you.

Okay then... borrow it.

Please return it to me next time.

if you don't get married by the end of one month,

the world will be destroyed.

It'll be 'laters forever.'

Just one month...

-Good morning. -Morning.

Is it going to rain today?

Ah, no I don't think so I just thought

I'd bring it in, just in case.

I don't think it's going to rain.

Are you prepared for 'going out.'

-What do you mean 'prepared?' -Obviously, prepared to get married.

Mitsue, you're a fast mover aren't you.

You're always telling me that the next person you go out with, you'll marry.

Of course I'm prepared for that possibility.

But what happens in the future isn't just down to me.

And so you make yourself an escape exit.

I'm not making an escape exit I'm just talking generally.

But he seems like he's pretty keen to marry you, doesn't he.

Who knows? We've not talked about that yet.

Hey, shall we go looking for a wedding dress?

You just want to go don't you.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning...

Sekihara-san's not said a word since the drinks party yesterday.

Why?

They're disgusting, the lot of them.

The office is a place we come to to work!

A fool in love with someone in the opposite building.

A fool in love with someone from the company next door.

A fool in love with the only woman in this company.

You've got it wrong, erm... it's not like we're going out or anything.

-We are going out. -I guess we did go out.

I look down on you all for not looking

any further than this small world of ours.

But didn't you say that Yotsuya-san

was a really good person?

Hey! Do not misunderstand me!

That was in her capacity as the Fragrance Tower!

She's a moving fragrance.

While she is fun to watch and smell,

it's unthinkable for me, unlike you,

to choose someone from the same office

as a romantic partner. I look down on you.

Just because you got dumped, don't take it out on us.

I'm looking down on you. From the bottom of my heart. I'm looking down on you.

Good morning.

-Masaki-kun, may I have a word? -Yes.

Do you have any idea why Hatazaki-san was so cross yesterday?

Well... I've not heard anything.

She finished up and went home really early,

and when she left, she deliberately told me the soccer match score.

She knew I didn't want to know.

Ah...

Please don't misunderstand. I don't have any

personal feelings for Karasuda-san in particular.

Yes, I know.

But you know, not only did he give no indication he was married

he went as far as to talk about destiny.

And he doesn't wear a wedding ring,

I really don't think that's very fair of him.

So is it true we are going to refuse

their request for market research?

Of course we are.

Do you think we can have dealings with such a duplicitous scoundrel?

In business it's important to have a relationship of trust.

She is angry isn't she.

I wonder if maybe,

she might have had a thing for Karasuda-san.

Is that right. I had a vague idea that might be so.

Ah, while I don't forget, your umbrella.

I'm returning it to you.

-It feels a bit strange doesn't it. -Pardon?

Even though I haven't used it even the once it's being returned to me.

It took a fair bit of time for you to accept it from me.

I'm home.

Welcome back. What's this? Did it rain?

No, it was just returned to me.

Ah... I see.

Erm... A client gave me some jelly.

It's in the fridge so please help yourself.

-Is there melon? -That belongs to me.

Not if I get there first.

How childish.

There are two melons!

I'm home.

Hey hey hey.

-On your knees. -What?

It's fine, just keep quiet and do it.

No, no, I don't understand.

Do you know why I'm angry?

-You're angry? -You don't know, do you.

If you knew, you wouldn't have been so stupid would you.

-What do you mean stupid? -You returned the umbrella to Haruko didn't you.

I did.

It was the umbrella I failed to give her on her birthday.

-What idiot just gives her back the umbrella?! -What?

Didn't you think that perhaps whilst you were

returning the umbrella, you could give her a proper present.

You're going out after all.

Ah, well now that you say it, I guess that's true.

You've let one chance to get a firm grip on her heart, escape.

As long as I don't give up, another chance will come.

So, when another chance comes up,

you know what to do don't you.

Ah, well....

I mean, I'll give her something that'll make up for it being a month late.

The present is already decided. A ring.

A ring? What, I should give her one already?

On this occasion it's simply a birthday present.

You'll give her a wedding ring in 1 months time.

Which means, in just one month,

I'lI have to sort out two rings.

A ring's value isn't in it's price.

Thanks for the consolation.

So when you want to buy a ring as a present what's the first thing you do?

-Go to a jewellery shop. -Do you know what size to get.

Ah I see, so I have to go ask her her size.

On your knees. Are you an idiot?

If you ask her her ring size,

she'll get the impression you're getting her one.

But if I don't ask, I won't know.

Look here. Women throughout the world are made

the most happy by receiving a ring.

-Surely it depends on the person. -Just so you know,

Sadaoka-kun is giving someone a ring as a surprise today.

What? Today?! To Yotsuya-san?

Obviously, if he didn't get her ring size first

he couldn't give her a perfect surprise.

How did he find out, without asking?

He can tell the size,

just by looking, fantastic!

It's amazing the skills that man has.

If he can do it, then you can do it too.

It's definitely impossible.

Don't you want to surprise Haruko? Don't you want to see her tears of happiness?

Of course I do, but...

On your feet, stand up!

Suddenly take her hand, on goes the ring, it's the perfect size.

The surprise will bring a tear to her eyes.

Light up her heart and the way to marriage is lit.

No, no, if I do something corny like that

she'd hate it.

She may be all cool on the outside, but on the inside she's a true romantic.

-Smoooch. -You like to do that don't you.

If not, would she have written 'This year I want to meet,

my man of destiny' on her shrine visit.

That side of her's cute isn't it.

Ah... Makoto, you're a true idiot.

-Smooch. -Why do you do that.

-Ah. Vroom, -What's that.

I have a driver's license. What's more it's gold.

If you shorten it, 'God.'

Yes! Vroom, vroom escape G O D escape.

I see, I've not worn a wedding ring for a long time.

And so she mistakenly thought you were single.

Many years ago, when I went clamming with my family

and I lost it.

It was a pain to get a new one, so I just didn't bother.

Shall I try to talk to Hatazaki-san about it for you?

Would you mind?

It wouldn't be good to go back to the

grim atmosphere we had before...

By the way...

What size ring do you wear?

Pardon? Why? Are you interested? Ah well not so much interested as?

I think, at a glance, about 17?

I don't really remember.

Would you perhaps measure it for me?

Whoa there! You're being scary again.

No no, I honestly don't mean anything odd by it.

It's just about of pure interest.

Isn't it surprising?

It wasn't even my birthday, he just suddenly gave it to me.

He said it wouldn't be a surprise if it was my birthday.

Sadaoka-kun likes to do things like that.

He said the ring finger is for birthdays, so this time it's the middle and index finger.

-You be like whoa, wouldn't you. -He gave you two rings?

No, when I tried it on, it fit both fingers perfectly.

You didn't tell him my size did you?

I'm sorry, I don't know what size you are,

and there's no way I'd know your middle and index finger are the same.

Indeed.

I didn't even know myself.

And so? You're going out together now?

-No, not just yet I think. -What? Why not just yet?

We have an unspoken agreement that

this is the most fun part of a romance.

Goodness... you've advanced tastes.
