Take The Day Off Work Today (Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu / きょうは会社休みます。)

Aoishi Hanae. 30 years old.

I'm an office lady working for Teiko Corporation.

My 20's ended without having any experience with guys.

There's a 9 years younger college student working at the same company.

And he confessed he had feelings for me. After I replied,

We ended up dating each other. However...

Be specially careful not to become a burden as a woman.

Since he is the first boyfriend I've had in my life,

I promised myself not to become a burden for him,

to respect his opinion and keep in mind

to correspond him as an adult.

I could not help overlooking a scrunchie I found under his bed though.

And I was convinced our love was over. But...

Do you still have feelings for him?

It's ok if you decide to come whenever you want.

I was overwhelmed by a wave of feelings. Until finally...

Did you think we'd break up for something like this?

He successfully handed me the key to his apartment as proof of his love.

Good Morning. Morning.

Thank you very much for what you did yesterday. Do you mean bowling?

After you left Senpai,

I pulled some strikes and beat Asao-san.

Eh?! How? Wasn't he extremely skillful?

I got serious and scored a higher amount in the end.

Ah! Speaking of it... Didn't you make a bet or something like that?

Yes! Because I won,

We are going to go out together.

Eh?! Re... Really?

Congratulations.

Although It's only for dinner.

I had lost the first game and because it was a tie,

He resolved to invite me an exquisite French dinner.

I see.

I hardly managed to make it to this point.

But even so. It is a great step for me.

Yes. Do your best.

Good work.

Good work.

Where should I archive these sample cover letters?

I will take care of it. Alright.

Can you come over tonight for dinner?

I'm sorry. I'm supposed to meet my friend from college. She's coming over to hang out.

I see. Until next time then.

Ah! Tomorrow... Is fine.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Me too.

Hmmm. Where is Sayaka-chan?

There she is! I found you!

Got you!

You are fast!

Iwao-kun! Let's watch a DVD now!

Yeah! Let's go!

Sayaka please call him Iwao-san as you should.Not -kun

She's scary! Sayaka.

It's OK. He's enjoying it too.

You really save our lives when you bring your children over to play.

Because it's rejuvenating for old people like us to hang out with kids.

I don't think so. They usually mess everything around...

I wonder what's the difference between you and her.

You were both classmates after all.

None at all. And it's probably better not to rush into it.

He's right. I know many friends who failed at marriage for marrying in a rush.

Even so. I think it's about time you find a good guy already.

Didn't you know grandma? Hanae-san has got a boyfriend!

I knew it.

Sayaka-chan. What is it that you're saying?

Eh? But before at the hospital...

Please excuse her. My child says weird things sometimes.

So Sayaka-chan. Is it true Hanae has a boyfriend?

If you tell me the truth. I will give you an allowance in return.

Yes! She has a boyfriend! I know it because I gave her advice.

So it is...

Thanks for looking after my daughter.

We've been wondering for a while if it was true or not.

You've been going out a lot lately,

And there's that key from some place else you're carrying.

Eh? Did you see it?

Well, you left them over there and

my eyes just slipped by.

I'm going to bed early.

Sleeping already? Yeah.

I'm a little tired after playing around with the children.

Good night.

It was a shock for your father when he realized you had a boyfriend!

That's why he's been avoiding the conversation when the subject floated around.

What's he like?

Well....normal.

What do you mean just "normal"?

He's a Japanese guy.

Isn't it good if you actually told me?

Don't be so scarce with words.

Do you plan to hide it forever?

No. It's not like that.

Then tell me! Please.

I'll be taking a bath now.

There's no way I could tell.

That I'm dating a 9 years younger,

21 years old college student.

"Take a day off work today"

Ep. 4 "An aggravated daughter and an aggravated father"

If I told my father that my boyfriend is among these people

He wouldn't guess it's Tanokura-kun.

Not until the very last person.

I can handle one more! Can you really?

I see, you're still young...

He's very strict about this stuff.

Compared to a young part time employee like Tanokura-kun

My father would be happier with someone like Hanyu-san.

Who is a 10 years long senior.

I wonder what would my father say

If he found out I'm dating a college student.

My boyfriend...

Is a college student.

Co... College student?

How old is he?

21 years old.

Tw... Twenty one?!

Dad!

Hold on there dad!

The results after diagnosis...

Reveal that he suffered from an acute "daughter's young boyfriend syndrome"

That's impossible!

If the boyfriend would have been a just 1 year younger,

He would have died instantly.

Instantly? So what's his condition?

He might survive knowing he's 21

and if he at least was a fixed time employee.

But as fixed time employee

The college and his future...

The heart of your father might be prepared to

survive knowing he is just a part timer but...

The fact he is a college student... Those words remain inside his head now.

Please give up...

Can you hear me father?

Father...

What my dear? What is it?

Father?

A college student...

It's too much.

Father! Dear!

Father!

Aoishi-san. Aoishi-san!

Yes?

The meeting is about to start. Please bring the coffee.

Eh? Ah! I'll prepare it at once.

In this... Panzanella? Yes.

Is it possible to use any other walnuts

Instead of Grenoble walnuts?

No no no. The flavor is not good. It's completely different.

The chef says it can't be other than Grenoble's.

There's a huge difference in the resulting flavor.

See? It's different. Completely different thing.

I understand.

He says these are completely different.

I'm really sorry to suddenly ask for this but Is it possible for you to provide the correct ones?

Well the Grenoble walnut

Is too expensive for such a small amount.

And can be hardly found in Japan in the current situation.

Does that mean we'll have to look for another supplier if Teiko can't make it on time?

It would be tough but probable yes...

Aren't we supposed to be doing this

so we can provide the walnuts you need?

Understood then. We'll put our maximum effort

In order for Teiko to make it on time.

Thank you very much.

If by any chance we can not make it. We'll let you know.

Let's hope that's not the case.

Alright. For the sake of the success of this project We're counting on you all.

Good luck. Good luck.

Geez. I didn't expected Asao-san to have a strong character.

Yes you're right. It's not fair for him to come now

And tell us all this after all this time.

Well, it never had anything to do with fairness to start with.

Anyway. If doesn't work out Teiko has nothing much to lose.

Yes it does! There are 28 similar restaurants in Japan.

Who do you think we owe the opportunity

To be working on a huge project like this one?

It's enough Hitomi-chan. You're mixing personal and public reasons.

Stop making a joke out it.

"procurer"

Why is his nose bleeding?

Did he eat way too much walnuts?

Please Kagami-kun. It's about time you show us what you're capable of.

If we do not order the shipment within today

Teiko will not likely be able to make it time.

Yes. Today is the deadline considering we need to account transportation.

Aoishi-san. Can you work over time today?

Yes. There's no problem.

Good. I'm really sorry but we need your help.

Understood.

Did you by any chance...

Had a date with Mamoru today or something?

If you can spare time to speak nonsense put it on work!

But it's still morning in Grenoble so...

I'm sure there are other things you can do in the meantime.

Sadly I will not be able to keep my promise to go for dinner.

Could you please check this?

"Please don't worry about me. Do your best during extra time!"

Understood.

Please.
