Kono Koi Atatamemasuka (Do You Want to Warm Up This Love? / この恋あたためますか)

Why did you want to give that to Taku-ani?

The president let me make this.

I wanted to thank him in person.

Oh...

The new sweets corner is done!

Yay!

- Wow! - It's a big seller, after all.

Inoue-san must be on a roll, huh?

- Let's go Suu-chan's house and celebrate. - Today?

Will she be coming home?

"Will she be coming home?"

Ah... Kiki stayed overnight at work yesterday.

Maybe she's still sleeping.

- Yes? - Are you awake? Are you okay?

No, I just woke up.

Were you able to give it to Taku-ani yesterday?

We've set a new record!

Do you hear that?

They said it was a new record first day of sales.

It's so exciting. Come here quickly.

We're off to a good start.

Section Chief Mitamura, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Inoue-san

and Shintani-san in charge of development - President...

Thank you very much.

- Isn't that great? - Yes.

I'd like you to start developing on the next sweets right away.

Leave it to us. Let's keep the momentum going.

I have a proposal.

You know about SDGs, the Sustainable Development Goals, right?

Of course. It is our responsibility as creators to develop products

that take into account the natural environment and food loss.

Every year, apple farms in Yamanashi are hit by typhoons,

and the other day they were hit again.

This time, I'd like you to develop a sweets that

uses those affected apples.

- Those bruised apples... - It's gonna be hard.

Well, they didn't make it to market.

Kitagawa's cream puff concept was great.

I'm sure she'll be able to pull off

this difficult project.

Yes, I think so, too.

I'm counting on it.

Hmm...

As expected, it tastes different if the sizes are not evenly distributed.

We need to make it even first.

- Try putting it in the blender. - Yes.

Good for you, Kitagawa. This will lead to the next one.

Eh?

You seem to be enthusiastic!

It's my first time being a project leader.

Yeah! I'm enthusiastic!

Kiki-chan.

Ah, sorry. What was it?

Ah... That's right, print out the recipe.

Did something happen with Taku-ani yesterday?

Eh?

Eh?

- He gave you a hug? Yesterday? - Hey...

- Taku-ani? - Idiot!

A hug. Hug. I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Ah... So, Kiki-chan...

- Kiki-chan? - Ah, no, it's nothing.

Eh... And then?

I was just wondering what it was like for a man to do that

to a woman who'd just broken up with him.

I've been thinking.

The first thing Taku-ani did when he came here was the sweets section, right?

Saying something plausible for the good of the company.

But...

The truth is maybe he just wanted to see you again, right?

Kitagawa.

What do you think that is, Kitagawa? About Taku-ani.

Stop being so stubborn,

it's okay if you want to get back together.

- Don't make it sound so easy. - No, I'm happy for you.

I was the one who brought you two together in the first place.

I always wondered why you guys broke up like that.

I want you two to be happy.

Excuse me. Do you work here? Do you have an employee ID?

- I'm sorry. I have one. - Do you have it?

Yes.

You don't have an employee ID.

- I just don't have it now. - "Don't have it now"?

- I have it! I have it! - Do you work here?

- Can you please wait? Wait a second. - I am waiting.

- Give me a minute. - It's morning and you already making noise.

Good morning.

What a mess.

What you have in your head is also what you have in your bag.

I'll be more careful from now on.

Something doesn't feel right.

What the? What the hell's going on here?

- They're like a wire puzzle, tangled up like this. - Ah... Hey.

Give it back.

Sort it out. Sort it.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Hey. - Yes?

No, it's nothing.

Kiki-chan.

Let's make something good.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- What is it? - No.

I just wanna know how you are.

I'm fine.

What happened? It's red.

I feel really stupid.

My head is full of unnecessary thoughts.

I've gotta switch it up.

I heard that he's already working on a new sweets.

Yes, we heard.

- Well, I'm really looking forward to it. - I am expecting it too.

What strategy is he going to use next?

- Good morning, President. - Good morning.

- Well, let's get started. - Yes.

- Come in, please. - I'm sorry. Excuse me.

First, the manager of the Kamimeguro store. Uesugi Kazuya-san...

Yes!

Please, step forward.

Okay, last one, pudding.

- Okay. - What do you think?

Pudding is fine, I think.

Yes.

- Well then, let's go with pudding. - Yes.

Huh? It's past noon.

Really? I was too preoccupied to notice.

How about we take a break?

- Let's go have lunch. - Eh?

All three of us, we haven't eaten together before.

A kickoff party.

I'm okay with it.

Ah! Did you want to spend some time alone?

No, no, no. Let's have a kickoff party.

Yes. Oh!

- Huh? What are you guys doing here? - Huh?

Ah, Kiki! Ah, Shintani!

- What's going on? - Manager got called in.

- Did he do something wrong? - Who are they?

They are Kiki-chan's colleague when she used to worked part-time.

Eh...

Oh, my! Everyone is here.

- How did it go, Manager? - Show them to us.

We got the golden seal!

- Yay! - Does that mean you got an award?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We were number one in the nation in sales for Tuesday in Love, Chocolaty Relaxation!

- Wow! - Congratulations!

It feels so good!

- Eh? What, are you going to lunch now? - Yes.

Then why don't you join us? My treat.

- Here's your peking duck. - OH!

- Wow! - It's here!

Ah...

So? Are you already working on the new sweet?

And the project leader is Riho-san.

That's impressive for someone so young.

That's true. Riho is really amazing, right?

- Yes. - I'm not.

No, but the president praised you at the award ceremony.

He said there are some young, talented people in the sweets section.

I think he's talking about Kitagawa-san, right?

- You're absolutely right. - Right?

- Or maybe it's Kiki. No, Inoue-san, she's brilliant...

but she's unique.

- Ah, I get it. - Me too.

- Peking duck... Why? Why? - But normally,

if you wanted to make sweets, wouldn't you just want to be a pastry chef?

Certainly, and why the convenience store sweets?

Hmm... I wanted a lot of people

to try the sweets that I made myself.

Convenience store sweets can be

enjoyed by anyone, anytime, anywhere.

There's no other sweets like it,

and that's why I wanted to make something good for them.

Eh... That's very wise, isn't it?

- She's an adult. - And popular.

- Not at all. Not at all. - Not yet. Not yet.

- And humble. - Why? Why? Why is that?

- What "Unique"? - You're still there?

What "Unique", huh?

- Can I have some Peking duck? - It's a good thing. A good thing.

School arts festival I'm not sure how old she is.

Six.

It takes effort for a father to make a costume.

So, what's the role?

Garagaradon.(rattling)

What's that? A kaiju?

A goat. A goat.

She's so small, she's the first one and they gave her was to rattle.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The goats are going to run

into the troll on the bridge. - Troll?
