Second to Last Love (最後から二番目の恋)

When we meet, we tend to quarrel, don't we?

That's true.

I need to hold back as well.

I tend to get caught up in the moment. I repent about that. A little.

That's true.

Ah...

Huh?

How's she working out? Is Mari causing you any trouble?

No. She's a help.

We're about to begin shooting.

Is that right? I'll look forward to it.

Yes.

But, from here on, I'll be going to government offices for discussions about the locations.

I wonder why government offices have to be so troublesome?

Whenever I say I want to go here or go there, the faction I have to deal with changes.

Everyone says that, but it's tough on government office workers as well.

In the case of a film shoot, someone has to be present at the location, even on their day off.

They have to deal with any complaints that may come up.

They, um, have to stop anyone who might selfishly try to pass through the set...

...and they have to stop any cars going by while holding out red poles.

Right? And then they have to deal with the huge number of complaints...

...that come in due to the resulting extremely long traffic jams.

And then, when it's finished, they absolutely have to work overtime on all the petitions.

We won't be shooting in Kamakura.

Well, that's great. Thank goodness for that.

- Um... - Yes?

All that might be so, but I didn't intend for you to pile it on like that.

Eh? Pile it on? Me?

Never mind.

That was just ordinary conversation.

What you thought was "piling it on," was me showing my indebtedness to you.

- Weren't you just provoking me? - Eh?

Moreover, aren't you just multiplying them?

Do you also give out points? Have you made a "pile it on" point card, too?

And when a person accumulates 10 points, you treat them to a full course dinner at SIRAS restaurant?

Sure.

Because you would definitely end up doing the treating.

What are you saying? You've already given me one point.

This isn't to provoke you, but could I ask you a simple question?

Yes. What is it?

Why do you get such a delinquent girl tone to your voice when you get angry?

- I don't get that kind of voice. - You do!

Eh? You don't realize that? You say, "somehow 'er other" and not "somehow or other."

Didn't you say you were from Nagano-ken?

Yes. That's right.

Come to think about it, that's gotta be a lie.

You have the reek of a delinquent girl from Shounan-ken instead.

You used to mug people on the beach, didn't you? Particularly during summer.

Waat's that?

There it is. That "Waat's that?"

I'll give you a point for being a delinquent girl.

What's this about giving me a point for being a delinquent girl?

Stay back. Scary.

That's more like the title of a movie, isn't it? Moreover, that movie would be far more interesting.

Then, shall we do this? If it means I can collect delinquent girl points...

...shall we attack the mountain pass together?

Shall we conquer Kanagawa?

I don't want to do that. I'm just your average citizen.

Why do we get ourselves into this kind of mood?

You're right. I'm sorry.

No.

It's that, isn't it?

It would be better if...

...we just didn't see each other so much, wouldn't it? As little as possible.

Somehow, whenever I see that Jizo-san face of yours... (Jizo - bodhisattva who looks over children and travelers with a kind, round face)

- ...it just makes me want to say things somehow. - You just called me a "Jizo-san."

Ah, I'm sorry.

Ah, well... Well, it may be so.

- Right? You are a Jizo-san, right? - Not that!

Though I have often been told that I look like a Buddha.

Well... What I meant was, it might be best if we didn't see each other so much.

That's true.

Yes.

Then, I'll go.

Ah. Take care.

- Yes. You take care, too. - Adieu.

Farewell.

Geez! Ah, geez! I wasn't going to see you again!

Seriously? The location's no good?

They turned us down at the last minute.

Wait, what'll we do? After all, it's there, right?

The shrine where the couple have their date in the first episode, right?

- That's right. - Whaa! This is seriously bad.

Say, say, say! Isn't there somewhere else? A shrine, a shrine?

They keep saying it's impossible on such short notice like this, so they're all turning us down.

Um. How about in Kamakura?

It's a suitable place for lovers to date in, and I think such places do exist there.

In addition, my older brother is Section Chief with the Sightseeing Department at the City Hall.

Th... thank you!

We can't do it in Kamakura. It definitely can't be in Kamakura.

Did I say something I shouldn't have?! I am very sorry. What'll I do?

What'll I do? At a time like this. What should I do at a time like this?

No, no, it's okay. It's okay, it's okay.

- I don't want to have to quit this job. - I know, I know, I know.

I will never make you quit, so don't worry. Here, calm down. Yes.

All right, all right, all right.

Because I'll do something about this, the rest of you hurry up and start the other preparations.

- Yes. - Yes!

Really, thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Okay.

Gotta rule the world.

The reek of a delinquent girl.

What was that?

Ah, I'm fine.

Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi" "The Second to Last Love" Episode 11: "A Love That Hasn't Ended Yet ~ Final Episode"

I sincerely understand that this is an impossible favor to ask.

I will take scrupulous care to make certain that we don't cause you any trouble.

Once everyone in the audience sees this drama...

...I feel certain that this production will definitely make them think, "I want to go there."

Could you please lend us your power? Please.

I guess...

...Hachiman would do, wouldn't it? That would be the best place, right Ohashi-san?

That's right. I think it's the most beautiful shrine.

Tadokura. You go over to the Chamber of Commerce and give them our greetings.

First off, greet Murayama-san and then Hara-san. Don't make a mistake in the order.

The rest of you, start moving at once on all the application forms.

- Yes. - Yes.

Yoshino-san and I will go over to Honmaru.

We'll negotiate directly with the shrine. Let's go.

Then...

The Sightseeing Promotion Department will cooperate with you.

Thank you very much.

Normally we never receive requests like this.

However, we have no choice but to listen when a request comes from a Kamakura citizen. Let's go.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Everyone, please help us with this. Excuse me.

Are your feet okay?

Um. It's just been awhile since I last did a seiza. (Seiza - Japanese-style of sitting correctly with legs folded under the body)

But, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Well, um...

You're walking like a penguin.

Yes. They're pretty senseless right now. Please just leave me alone. Wait.

- That talk did go on a long time. - That's true.

But thank goodness it worked out. Thank you very much.

No, no, not at all.

Ah, that's right. Is it okay if I made a call?

Ah, go ahead.

I have to report this. Please wait just a minute.

- Can a penguin make calls? - They can.

Because of their fins, I wasn't sure...

Hello? Mitsue-san?

We got it!

- Ahh! All right! - Where in Kamakura?

That's great. If he had turned you down, I was resolved to stab my brother.

Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

All right. Then, I'll be coming back now. Yes.

Thank you very much.

It'll be tough for you to get back to Tokyo right now, won't it?

I have to for work. I'll be okay.

Somehow, trying to make sure we don't provoke one another has made us reticent, hasn't it?

That's true.

Ala?

Isn't the delinquent girl with you today?

Um. Since I came to ask for a favor for my work, I left her behind.

- Ah, is that right? You left her behind. - Yes.

Then, I'll be going. Truly, thank you so much for what you did today.

When it comes to the shooting, we'll be counting on you again.

- Take care. - Yes.

- Penguin-san. - Eh?

The Enoshima Aquarium is over there. Shall I show you the way?

I'm fine. The station is this way!

- Ah, is that right? - Yes.

But aren't you a penguin?

I am not a penguin!

- Mitsue-san. Gather the staff for a moment. - Yes.

Gather everyone. Gather 'round. Gather around Chiaki-san and me. Hurry up.

It was very generous of them to allow us to do this today...

...so I will never forgive you if anything happens.

- Yes! - Yes!

Let's work together!

Whaa! Whaa! Whaa! Ah, Mariko-chan. Mariko-chan! Give that to me, give that to me.

- Good morning! - Good morning.

Thank you so much for today.

- It's great you got such nice weather, isn't it? - Yes. Thank you very much.

Please work with us.

Brother!

Yo!

Good work.

Thanks for the business. This is Nagakura Catering.

Sorry for asking for so much.

What are you saying? Nori-nee and Erina helped me out.

Really? Then, put that over there.

Noriko, will this be okay for you?

I'm playing hooky from my part-time job.

Say, say. Who are the actors that are coming? Who are they?

- That's a secret. - Don't talk like such a groupie, you.

It's okay.

- Erina-chan, have fun today. - Thank you.

If some strange man who looks he's a producer comes over and tries to scout you...

...you must never say "yeah" to him.

- Yes. Roger. - Roger.

Mariko's at work!

Mariko! Mariko!

Mari!

What's that?

She's had powers of concentration like that since long ago.

She can't do two things at once though.

That's just impossible for her.

- Chiaki-san! - What is it?

- I'm sorry. - What is it?
