Melancholic (メランコリック)

- Did you wait long? - No, I didn't.

It's pretty cold, huh?

Yes.

Did you bring it?

Yes.

Does it look okay?

You brought this because it is good, right?

Otherwise you'd never bring it, or are you that stupid?

Of course not.

I'm joking.

I heard that you make our products impure and sell them. Is that true?

Is it?

Who told you that!

The question is, is it true or not!

Of course that's not true.

I thought so.

My bad.

I'll see you next month, then.

Okay.

Yo, please!

Stop! Please!

Can you even hear me! Yo!

I can pay you!

I'm sure tamura will take care of it.

Yes. Okay.

Don't worry, he'll do it perfectly.

He's really good.

Did you know that Mr. hayashi works at a staffing agency?

No, I didn't.

You didn't? Well, now you do.

According to him, you can find the best job offers in a magazine called...

What was it?

It slipped my mind.

What was it?

I'll tell you when I remember, okay?

Okay.

Today I cooked too much rice.

Please eat more than usual, okay?

Okay.

- You too. - Okay.

- It's very good, as always. - Thank you.

Yes.

Oh, you haven't taken a bath yet.

No.

Sorry, I thought you did. So I emptied the tub.

I'm going to refill it. Can you wait for a minute?

It's fine. I'll just take a shower.

No! You can't refresh yourself that way.

I said I'm good.

You should take a hot bath and relax and...

It's fine! Just leave it.

Excuse me.

Juice?

Thank you.

Now hiring

Kazuhiko?

It's Yuri, remember?

You're not kazuhiko? I'm so...

I'm kazuhiko.

You are, right?

I got scared for a second.

If you were a stranger, I didn't know what to do.

Long time no see. Remember me?

Yeah. Yuri, right?

Do you really remember me?

Yeah. Yuri, right?

I haven't seen you since high school graduation.

What a coincidence.

That's right.

Do you come here often?

It's my first time.

Oh, is it?

I'm not even wearing makeup.

You're just out of the bath. That's why.

That's right...

Do you come here a lot?

- Yes, sometimes. - Is that so?

There are times that I prefer a more spacious bath.

The one in my house is too small.

You live on your own!

Yes, I do.

Oh, okay.

Well, I'll see you around.

Okay.

Are you going to the reunion party?

I think you're in the text group.

Yes.

Are you going!

- To where! - The party.

I don't know. I haven't decided.

You went to Tokyo university, right?

Yes. I did.

Right. You're very smart even back then.

Not really.

Will you be too busy to go to the reunion?

Yes.

Oh...

I just thought that we could have a longer chat then.

- I'll go then. - Seriously?

Yes.

Great.

Well, I'll see you there.

Yes.

Well...

- What is it? - Be careful, it's cold outside.

I will. Thank you.

You want kodera!

Yeah. When can I get him?

But...

Everyone is so understaffed lately, huh?

Aren't you done yet!

Give me a minute.

You already said that. I want to eat.

Just shut up and wait!

Don't shout at me!

Shut up or go outside.

I can't run my bathhouse without kodera.

That's your problem.

- I'm hiring now, so give us a little more time. - Hey, listen.

Kodera is a very good killer.

He was born for that job.

How long do you want to keep a man like him doing just bath jobs?

He can't fold bath towels forever!

It's his decision.

That's it! I'm starving! Go hurry up!

What are you going to do now! You still have a lot of tasks to finish.

What do you mean?

Go fire kodera and hand him over to me.

- Okay, but... - Mister!

Remember how much you owe me!

How dare you say “but” to me!

Angela.

How about curry for dinner?

Curry? Again!

- Are you joining us, Mr. azuma? - No, thank you.

Then, see you.

- Hey, guys. - Oh, hi!

- Is this your restaurant, tamura? - No.

I just invested when it started.

Invested!? That's so cool!

Can you play the piano for us?

Oh, I want to hear it!

No, no, it's okay.

Please! Even just one piece.

Alright, just one. Deal?

Kazuhiko?

You came. You should've told me.

Well, I don't have your number.

That's true. I'll give it to you now.

Let's go over there.

That's kind of interesting...

They're not even trying to hide their intention.

Tamura wasn't that popular when we were in high school.

They didn't pay attention to him then, and now, that...

I heard he started a company and succeeded. That's fantastic, isn't it?

Yeah.

And you, kazuhiko. You went to Tokyo university.

Yeah.

Huh?

What do you do now?

Oh, yeah, well...

I'm kind of taking a break.

- Taking a break? - Yes.

Did you quit your job?

Yes, I did.

Was it because it's too hard?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Tokyo university graduates experience many things quickly, huh?

That's not true. It's nothing special.

I got an idea. Why don't you work at that bathhouse?

Why!

I saw that they're hiring. And thought, it won't be too hard.

And...

Since I'm there from time to time, I think it's going to be more fun.

I'll think about it.

I bet you'll never work there.

There you go.

Bravo!

So you went to Tokyo university.

Yes, I did.

You've been a part-time worker ever since the graduation?

Yes.

Why!

What do you mean?

Just curious, but...

Why do you work only part-time? I'm sure you're smart.

Wouldn't anyone question that!

I don't really have a particular reason.

You're hired.

Thank you very much.

There's another interview today. Can you wait?

Okay.

You two might work together.

Okay. I understand.

You're matsumoto?

Yes.

Your handwriting is hard to read.

Why is that!

Anyway, you're hired.
