I'm Your Destiny (ボク、運命の人です。)

Beethoven left behind him

many famous pieces of music .

It goes without saying, he was a great man.

But I wonder if there aren't others worthy of admiration, that we shouldn't forget.

Like the people who brought Beethoven into this world,

his parents.

If his parents had never met,

The man known as 'Beethoven' would have never even been born,

so much for 'destiny.'

If their parents hadn't fallen in love,

Edison, Einstein and Bill Gates would never have existed.

If that was the case, I wonder what our world would look like today?

-Good morning, you're early. -Good morning.

If we consider the distant future, it's a meeting that influences the fate of the earth.

It's from the trivialities of daily life

that undoubtedly things begin.

My name is Makoto Masaki and I will be joining you from today.

We've been waiting!

I've been with the company for 7 years, based at the Shizuoka branch.

I will do my absolute best and look forward to working with you all.

You were Shizuoka's number 4.

A mysterious change in personnel. -Give me a break!

Okay then, let's all do our best today.

-Please. -Did you get a reservation at Katsuragi?

-Chief, who do you take me for. -What about the potato salad situation?

Rest assured, I told them very specifically.

What is this 'potato salad situation'?

Potato salad is the chief's favourite food but he hates carrots.

Masaki-San, can you take your alcohol?

Ah well, I like a drink but I'm not that great at holding it.

It's just today is your welcome party.

-Pardon? I've heard nothing about this?! -You've nothing better to do, have you?

-You said you'd told him. -I did, did I?

Anyway, this is Midori-chan.

Even so, her favourite colour is a reddish-brown.

-Please call it dark red. -Okay okay.

Anyway, that person over there is the boss Sekihara-San.

Chief, as expected, it's delicious today too.

Is that right? That's good to hear.

He's been glaring at me for a while now.

That's just his normal face.

Every day he drinks one whole container.

-You're kidding me. -Look forward to this evening okay.

I've got lots of interesting stories to tell about Makoto!

You'd better not say anything unnecessary, okay!

-You're good friends aren't you. -Nah, we just joined at the same time.

Your desk is over there.

This is the key to your desk and locker.

Thank you.

Since entering the company Zero lateness's and absences. And zero luck with women!

He's messing with me!

In the follow up from the survey response form from five years ago

that was sent to the attendees regarding the statement 'I'm not particularly interested in marriage'

Those currently married are around 10%.

About 30% have a boyfriend. And 60% are without a boyfriend.

This next graph shows the monthly average eating out budget

for those who answered that they have no boyfriend,

Those in their 20s use more money

than those in their 30s.

The budget for a single meal is higher for those in their 30s.

However those in their 20s

go out to eat more, and that's why the results look this way.

How about you? How are you compared to the average?

In reality, I use considerably less than the average amount.

Haruko still hasn't gone out to eat ramen or gyudon

on her own. -That's really of no concern here.

Yotsuya-San, you spend a lot of money on eating out right.

Yes, I eat Chinese, BBQ, French, sushi.

-I'm completely fine on my own. -How reliable.

Yes.

-How about going on your own today. -Hey, hold on a minute!

You're fine with going for a drink by yourself, aren't you.

Please, just for today. I've something I need to discuss with you.

You say that, but you never listen to what I say.

I will today, honest.

Well, I'm definitely going home after just the one.

-We'll see about that. -Ah, I already don't want to know.

What do you mean, 'zero luck with women?'

Midori-chan you really love getting your teeth in this sort of thing.

You get totally stirred up.

To start with, the girl he went out with when he first started at the company.

In half a year she put on 30kg.

-What! -30kg! Really?!

Well to be accurate it was 25kgs in 5 months.

Every month 5kgs? That's the same weight gain as a new born horse!

Chief, don't underestimate the speed of growth of a foal!

-It doesn't take a month to put on 25kgs. -Really? I didn't know that.

Why did she put on so much weight?

Well, she was in tears and told me she hardly ate anything.

That's obviously a lie.

But you know, he completely believed it.

It's not like I believed it 100%.

But I thought that I had to trust her.

That's only natural for a man.

But you know, his next girlfriend was even worse.

Whenever Makoto took a bath, she'd take money from his wallet.

-She was a compulsive thief. -Really... how much did she take?

If he was having a shower 1000 yen. If he was having a soak in the bath 2000 yen.

It's like dirt cheap prostitution.

Chief, don't underestimate dirt cheap prostitution.

Please could you both cut it out.

Whether 1 or 2 thousand yen, it's no joke.

It's just a crime.

I didn't really feel that way though...

Furthermore, they broke up with him in the same way.

They just suddenly broke contact. He's not heard from them since...

The girl that put on 25kg dumped him too?

Hey... everyone... I'm...

I'm not the kind to judge a woman by her outward appearance.

It's only natural, if you're a man.

Really... but being dumped by the two of them means,

there must be some sort of big problem with you.

Hey Midori-chan, he's the one worried about that the most.

I'm not that worried really.

It doesn't particularly look like you have a problem though...

Ah, but it's those guys who are the most dangerous.

It's guys that look like that who are driving this country to ruin.

-Really... I didn't know that. -There's no way he has that kind of power.

No, I can feel it...

But, I really have no idea why,

maybe I did something wrong or something...

That's it, you must've done something.

You didn't realise it, but

you did something to those women.

I looked at his phone and there was a really suspicious message, so I responded.

What, you looked at his phone?!

And then she turned on me, she said that I was the lover.

Isn't that awful? I was his number 2.

It's good you found out before you got to involved and were hurt.

But, I really do like him,

so I gave him a whack and

told him I'd put up with being 2nd but, but that he'd better not make me 3rd.

What on earth are you saying!? Break up with him right now!

-But why? -Do you think we've got time to waste?

We're nearly 30 you know!

-Again with 30. -If you waste time on pointless love affairs

you won't be able to get it back later.

But I like him, so it can't be helped.

He's said you're his lover,

are you seriously considering the future?

Men are creatures that grow from day to day.

He won't. He'll stay that way until he dies.

You're too hard on both men and women.

I'm just telling it how it is.

It's because you only see the faults in people that

that your choices in partner are gradually narrowing.

It's good to have narrow options, you're more like to make a correct choice.

You definitely lack seriousness in

considering the next partner might be your last.

I've just not thought about it. That's why Midori-chan

if you know of anyone good please introduce her to him.

Hmmm, is there someone... -Hey Kasuo.

-Yes? -I have a girlfriend.

-What? I've not heard about this?! -There's no way I'd tell you.

-Is she okay this time? -Do you have a picture of her?

Well, yes...

When I met her, I thought to myself

how can I put it... There really is such a thing as destiny.

What! She's your girlfriend? You're going out with her?

Give it here!

You bastard...

Didn't you say a moment ago that you didn't judge women by appearances!

She just happened to tell me

she thought I was nice. -It's not as facile as that.

-I misjudged you. -Why are you getting worked up Chief?!

You don't have the power to send him back to Shizuoka do you Chief!

That's what I was saying. Guys that look like him

are the most dangerous. -By the way, the potato salad,

why are there carrots in it? -I told you

I let the chef know!

-Sorry for all the noise. -It's no bother!

It's a relief that it's thriving.

It looked like the pub was going to go under.

For a pub of this capacity it's strange you don't have part timers.

I want to do both the cooking and the service.

I'm Ootani Shouhei of the pub world.

It's a try-out, so please do it again.

Hey, when did you get married?

I was late getting married. It was just when I hit 30.

What? Are you looking for a fight?

I was the last out of all my friends. They all got married in their 20s.

It's true.

Who are you! What are you doing here?

-Your destined woman isn't coming. -What?

Unfortunately you've been had. Here look.

Today at dawn in the Shinjiku area

a man in his thirties was called out by this woman.

Afterwards some of her male friends appeared,

and he was abducted and confined.

Akane-chan?

-You know what it is? A 'Badger game.' -What?

The plan was, band together with those men and get some money out of you.

But before she got the chance, she got caught in another incident.

You lying! She's not that kind of girl!

If you'd like, I can tell you about all the men she's previously fooled?

Not only has she abducted and confined people

it's suspected that she's exhorted around 1,000,000 yen.

Why does this always happen to me?

Why is it, I only get weird women approaching me.

Did I do something bad?
