Risou no Otoko (The Ideal Man / 理想のオトコ)

You're Sensei's girlfriend, right?

So you two are dating, is that correct?

No.

We are not

dating.

Eh?

Are you two not dating?

Yes.

It's ringing...

Ah!

Then I'd better get going...

I'm sorry for intruding.

I'm sorry for intruding.

I'm such an idiot.

For thinking on my own that we were dating...

and that Sensei even like me...

- That woman is crying on the pavement. - Eh? No way. Why?

Hello?

Ah, I'm sorry about earlier. I couldn't answer the phone for a while...

You're not working today, right?

Why don't we dine in?

Ah, today...

It's a place that serves really good meat.

It was hard to get a reservation, but I finally got one.

Come on, my treat. I'll send you the URL for the location later.

- Ah... - Bye.

Hey...

Episode 4 The older guy and her classmate

Hmm!

Toko, you like it, right? You've always loved this kind of stuff.

Yeah, it's so good!

- Hmm... - Are you well now?

Eh?

Because you sounded strange on the phone.

Ah...

Did something happen?

It's okay. It's no big deal.

- But it's amazing that you can tell. - Of course.

It started with who I fell in love with in high school,

and practiced my confession with.

She even made me play the role of a comforter when her heart was broken.

That's right...

I haven't seen him in over a decade,

and yet I feel so close to him...

An older guy

who I'm attracted to but I don't know what he's thinking,

and a classmate that I don't know if he's what I want

but I feel safe with.

My ideal man is...

- Toko? - Hmm?

I won't ask what happened,

but if what I said was a burden,

don't worry about it.

Eh?

The other day,

I said "Would you like to go on a date with me?".

I thought I was rushing things.

- Keigo... - But I'm not asking you to forget what I said.

For me,

Toko is special.

Here.

If you want, here...

I haven't heard anything from Sensei since then.

No calls, no texts...

For me,

Toko is special.

Keigo's words made me happy...

Also, he's been really thinking about me...

This makes me look like a nasty woman who's torn between the two.

- What? You're opening a new branch? - Yes.

And with that, I've decided to renovate this branch too!

- Eh? Renovate? - That's nice!

- What sort of changes are you going to make? - Eh?

I'd like to leave that to Toko-chan.

What? Me?

Yeah, it's only natural since you're the manager of this branch, right?

You're going to be very busy.

In addition to your normal duties,

you can also start preparing for the renovations.

You've finally made it!

- We're gonna help you. - Yes!

I'd also want you to feature an original hair design that only this branch can offer.

I am putting your skills to work, so I'm counting on you!

Yes!

- Help her out, okay? - Yes! - Yes.

- Eh... What should we do? - Eh... I'm so excited!

Sensei, I sent it. Please check it.

Ah, yes...

Aren't you just barely made it to the deadline again?

- What's next? - You have another deadline.

Sensei, you're the one who took on another series, right?

If you're worried about her, why don't you just call her?

That's Toko-san, right?

No, not really...

Don't tell me you're leaving it like that?

Can I use a different color wallpaper for this side and this side?

Yes, you can.

It's just that the cost will go up a little higher.

- Right... - Yes.

Excuse me for a moment.

Then, I'll bring you something to eat.

Thank you for your hard work.

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.

I finished early today, didn't I?

Maybe sometimes my husband...

I knew it, it's like we're in sync.

What...

Husband: I'll be working late again tonight.

Takano-san

Husband

Could it be

that you've been waiting for me?

- Ah... - I was here for a meeting,

and I just finished it.

I wasn't waiting for you, but maybe it was just as well.

Hey, I know it's a little early, but how about we grab some dinner?

I'm sorry, but I have a prior engagement tonight...

Really?

I know I always say no, but it's not like that...

Takano-san!

That's what it is about. Bye.

Thank you for your hard work.

I'll just go home.

Welcome.

- Excuse me. - How may I help you?

- Carrot Rapee. - Yes.

- Chestnuts and bacon with parmesan. - Yes.

- And a ratatouille. - Yes.

- Also, beef stroganoff. - yes.

- Also, two beers, please. - Ah, yes.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Here's tonight's dinner

and some beers. - Thank you!

And also this.

What... Thank you, it's so cute!
