Dream Team (Doriimu Chiimu / ドリームチーム)

I wonder how his wife is holding up? Right? Poor thing.

Here. Look at this.

Enoki-san? That's right.

An affair? What is it?

Hey, did you see this? But they seemed so happy...

I never imagined she would be betrayed. I know, it's unbelievable!

I was set up.

Since you're not good with computers you may not know,

but people can photoshop anything these days.

Things are already over with my wife.

You wouldn't know about that stuff.

Society doesn't understand anything.

They don't know what the hardest thing about being cheated on is.

Though perhaps it's presumptive to assume→

that I'm representative of what is the hardest in this situation.

It's there, phew.

It's not losing your husband's love, or being betrayed.

It's falling from your status as a happy housewife→

down to a pitiable wife who lost to a young girl.

Mother? There's no need to come all the way to Tokyo.

It's a false rumor.

They're just jealous of Keigo-san.

Apparently it's not so easy being a university professor.

I'm fine, I'm fine. Okay. Bye.

Oh right, it's time for you to go. I'll tie up your hair for you.

It's okay, I'm skipping piano today.

Tamaki...

You have to go.

Because people will believe the rumors if I don't go?

Don't say something so stupid!

Tamaki, this is in return for the gift from Kokomi-chan's mother.

Could you give it to her for me? Here. Today?

Yes.

You've got this, right?

They're just harassing me because I refused to help them find a job.

Right, I did that. My wife is doing fine.

Thanks for your concern. Right then, bye.

Don't just barge in.

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Do you really need to go to that?

He was your teacher decades ago. Now's not a great time...

You're won't cry over him. There's no need to go just to see your former classmates.

It's not really about need...

I'll cover the funeral offering cost myself.

That goes without saying.

I'll be going now.

Hello. Hello.

It's easier to cry than it is to hold it in.

What's with my husband. I just don't understand the man that I chose.

Where are you hiding the grated cheese?

Yes, 3rd term. Tsuruga. Tsuruga Yuuko. There, captain, that's it.

I'm Enoki Kana, former student, 15th term. Yes.

No way! 15th? So you went to nationals? Oh, yes.

So did my generation. We made it all the way to the finals...

But we lost to Eiran.

I was the center, I scored 29 points. Amazing.

But it wasn't enough. How about you?

I didn't do much... Here it is.

Yes. Even if you were a reserve,

you still made it to nationals.

This is correct? Yes, that's right.

You were the captain!? Well then.

The room is to your right.

She's so girly.

Those kind of alumni are the absolute worst.

Chiikana!

Oh! Shiba, Aya, Roku!

Long time no see! You too! You haven't changed a bit.

Saki and Ryuu are already inside.

Sorry, go on ahead.

Sorry.

Enoki Keigo

Hashimoto?

Kawaguchi?

How long has it been? Since graduation? Or since you rejected me. So even longer.

Didn't you reject me?

You stopped calling me.

Because you were so busy with your club that you stopped answering my calls.

You wouldn't give me the time of day...

No way! That wasn't my intention at all.

It's just like you to be so single-minded.

I was single-minded back then?

So what have you been up to lately, Kawaguchi-kun?

I'm running an interior design company.

You're a company president? That's amazing!

It's been a hard journey, but I'm finally making enough money to live on.

Papa?

Chiikana-san! Long time no see!

Minako?

I picked the wrong husband, it's been nothing but trouble.

I had no idea you two were married!

I brought my husband along to help watch our child.

She's a demanding wife.

She's the vice president and mastermind behind my business.

Amazing. Enough of that.

Now hurry up and change his diaper!

Well, see you later.

One, two, three...

Here we go! All the way to nationals!

Fight! Fight!

Chiikana!

Don't give up! Fight!

Yes!

No way! An affair?

What, what? It's Chiikana.

Seriously? An affair? Who? Who? With who?

You really think that just getting a part-time job would be enough to match me?

Wow, your watch looks so expensive, Yuuko.

Makes sense, since you've worked so hard at the agency.

Do you get to meet celebrities?

Sometimes. Ooh, nice.

My boyfriend always says that too. What? Hang on!

No way... What's your boyfriend like?

Hm, well... He's ten years younger than me.

A great career, money, a young boyfriend... you just have it all, don't you?

You're exaggerating.

Ah, I'm gonna go grab a drink.

Sensei.

That's the life that I wanted.

Uh oh, did I say that out loud?

What? Are you okay?

Why won't you answer? We're out of grated cheese. Also, a reporter came. If you run into them, don't tell them anything.

I'm not really okay...

My husband was right.

I'm not crying over my teacher's death.

I'm sad about my own life.

Are you okay, Chiikana-san?

Oh... Yes, Andou-san. Yes.

You're such a tender spirit to cry over my husband.

Thank you.

Andou-sensei was such a big help to me.

Hey. Yes?

If you would like, you can stay at my place. What?

You know, we set up a basketball dormitory on our land.

Oh. So if you want, you can stay there.

What? The rent is cheap...

Actually I... We also renovated the kitchen.

It's also a way to remember Andou by...

Actually, I'm not planning on moving...

Really? Yes.

Really... Yes.

Andou-san seems so heavy hearted.

Yes?

What?

You must be surprised to see someone buying bright yellow flowers while dressed in all black.

But it reflects my attitude to fight on without giving up.

So you want it like this, right? Yes.

I folded the laundry and vacuumed the house.

Really? Thank you!

It was no big deal.

Seriously, it only took like 30 minutes.

For a housewife, doing the chores is only difficult if you're bad at it.

I'd love to become a housewife and just take it easy.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Excuse me.

Sorry to call you in on your day off. It's okay.

So what is it?

Well... I heard about the power harassment and sexual harassment.

Oh there's no need to worry about me.

Well, as a woman in the workplace sometimes these things happen.

But I've learned how to deal with it so it's okay.

No no no, I mean you.

Like I said, I'm fine...

You committed sexual harrassment.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Let's eat.

What's with the flowers?

Sometimes it's nice to have a little change of mood.

Is that really necessary?

We have many expenses this month.

I'll make the tea.

I'm sorry.

That's enough for now.

Your mama is sure troublesome.

I'll go change.

How long does it take to change?

What did I apologize for?

You didn't apologize even once for what you did.

Actually, you've never apologized to me in all these years.

I'm not gonna stand here and listen to this crap.

Don't run away!

It was in your jacket pocket.

You really didn't do it?

Even if I really did cheat on you, what can you do about it?

Let's say we divorce and you get money from the settlement and for child care,

you still wouldn't be able to afford the living standard you have now.

But if we stay married, you can live more happily if you choose to believe me.

But if I apologize to the public for an affair I'll be penalized→

and your life will be dragged down along with mine.

In the end, your life is completely dependant on mine.

If you're unhappy with our finances and your share of the housework,

then you can start by earning as much money as I do.

What are you doing?

Mama.

I'm sorry, Tamaki.

You and me are going to...

Why are you apologizing? Why are you smiling?

I... I...

I don't want to end up like you, Mama.

Acting all cute about it is just wrong. You still haven't learned your lesson? Just stop. Treating yourself... It's several thousand yen a night.
