Second to Last Love (最後から二番目の恋)

I know that. The ratings were awful. That's why I went to apologize about it.

So persistent, that stupid Section Chief, idiot Section Chief.

- Thanks for your hard work! - Ah, thanks for yours!

Geez...

"Run out of change lamp"

It's run out of change. What's with this machine?!

Chiaki-san.

Ah, thank you, Mitsui-san.

What happened during your talk with the Section Chief?

Mmm, not much. I mean it's no big deal; it's totally okay.

It's best if you don't force yourself to smile.

Yes.

The ratings were awful.

For "Love Isn't Over Yet."

They were awful, weren't they?

Yeah...

And, even before I entered his office...

...that stupid Section Chief told me, "Nothing for you after this."

He told you that, huh?

Yeah.

And then...

...there really hasn't been anything after that.

What do you mean?

Yeah.

All the incoming projects I had were taken away...

...and, for the time being, there's no other work scheduled for me.

Everything I had after that was put on hold.

Is that right...

Yeah. But there is that.

Mitsui-san, both you and the free staff don't have to worry.

I'm giving a lot of thought to you guys. Okay?

Don't worry about that. I believe we'll work together again for sure.

Mitsui-san...

What worries me most is Chiaki-san.

Me?

What are you going to do if your work is taken from you?!

"What am I going to do"?

There has to be something...

There is! There definitely is!

It's best if you don't force yourself to smile.

Yes...

Well then, um, Section Chief, excuse me. Thank you.

I'm counting on you, Nagakura-kun.

The future of Kamakura is depending on you.

Yes. Um, yes... I'll do my very best for Kamakura's sake.

Well then, um, excuse me.

- Take care of it. - Yes!

- Ala, Nagakura-san. - Ah, ah, hello!

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon. Hello there.

The Chief hasn't come back, has he?

I think it must have been a considerable blow to him.

Our current Section Chief was a former subordinate of his, wasn't he?

What's more, he's incredibly younger than him, too, huh?

Yes, yes.

And what's more, did you know?

The moment the announcement came out, he went from calling him...

..."Nagakura-san" to "Nagakura-kun" right away.

Ehh? No way!

Well, I might do that too, if I were suddenly made Section Chief and his boss.

Now that's something I could never agree to.

Yeah... Huh?

Yes, yes, yes.

I have just returned.

- Thanks for all your hard work. - Yes, you're working hard.

Ah, I'll have some tea, too.

- What do you want in it? - No, no! I'll do it myself...

His pain's at full throttle.

He's not even aware of it.

How did the meeting go?

Eh?

It was just a normal meeting.

And, what did he say?

That the Tourism Promotion Division...

...should also lend its power into making this a World Heritage Site.

Well, that was about it.

What did he force on you?

Tadokuro, that's wrong. You mustn't speak that way.

When at work...

...rather than thinking you're having things forced upon you...

...think of them as being entrusted to you.

That's totally different; understand?

- Yes. Yes. - You understand? Right?

And what, exactly, were you entrusted with?

The aim is to...

Make absolutely certain that Sakisaka Midoriko-sensei...

...is made our Goodwill Ambassador to the World Heritage Foundation.

- Eh? That novelist? - Right.

But she's turned down that offer many times before, hasn't she?

Seems so.

Still...

...according to the words of our Section Chief, he doesn't want to hear...

...us taking "no" for an answer.

Thanks for your hard work.

- Good night. - You've worked hard.

But I don't have any work.

Yes, yes, yes.

Hello?

Sorry, sorry, Chiaki.

I read your e-mail, but I'll be proofreading today well into tonight.

Yeah. I'm sorry for asking when you're so busy.

Yeah, yes. So long; I'll call again. Bye-bye.

Hello?

Sorry. I have to prep for today's live concert, so I'll be up all night on it. What's up?

I just found myself free suddenly, so I wanted to invite you out for a while.

No, sorry when you're so busy.

Yeah, roger. See you again. Bye-bye.

Everyone's so busy, huh?

"If you aren't lonely, then you aren't an adult."

"Indeed, as you become an adult..."

"...you'll be hurt many times over..."

"...and those hurts heal more slowly."

"That's why you can't live unless you can become insensitive to those pains."

"And so..."

"...people live by looking for something they can rely on."

"For example, with work."

Welcome.

Will one week be fine?

One night, please.

One night?

I recommend that one.

The person who produced that drama is named Yoshino Chiaki-sama.

"For example, with love."

What are you looking at?

I was just thinking of what I should do.

You could say a little of my Angel blood got excited.

Huh?! What's that about an Angel? Don't joke around!

Do that when you're dating a girl and you aren't an Angel, but a Devil!

You're saying...

...we're dating?

- Devil! - Ow!

Hey, that hurts!

What do you think about Hawaii? Say, what do you think?

I ain't going. Too late to be a family now.

"For example, with family."

What do you mean by that?!

Isn't it okay?

Eh? Really?

Yeah.

- You should go. - Eh?

What's that? Go with who?

Dunno.

"For me who relies on my work, if I ever lost that work..."

"...how would I live my life from that point forward?"

Ah... Ah, hello.

You've worked hard.

I feel bad about making you wait like this...

...but I'm feeling some pressure from you.

No, I'm not really waiting.

I was thinking how you do the same thing every time...

...no matter how harsh I am with you about it, so I was just watching.

Sorry about that.

Your pocket.

Eh?

Your pocket.

Not that one; the opposite one.

Excuse me a moment.

I'm off first.

Thank you so very much.

No, thing is, I just recognize your pattern.

What is that?

It's like this, right?

There's this old man who makes a fuss in the mornings while looking for something.

"Old woman, I can't find my glasses."

"I left them somewhere when I got up and I've been looking all this time for them."

"Where did you put them..."

And thereupon, the old woman points silently at the old man's chest.

Thereupon, do you know what that old man had bought from the start...

...so that he wouldn't forget his glasses would be hanging there?

A strap which hung around the guy's neck attached to his glasses...

...swinging back and forth, back and forth like this. You're just like him.

I'm not like him.

I am nothing like an old man.

You're there at the station's ticket gate exit...

...searching for your commuter pass...

...even though you had consciously put it into your pocket.

But you completely forgot that the instant you got off the train.

From that look, I hit the bull's-eye, didn't I?

Yet even so, you're not the same as that old man? It's the same thing as that old man, isn't it?

Again with that look of triumph on your face.

- That's really irritating. - No, it's not really triumph.

I'll tell you this, but I'm in a really bad mood today.

Ah, you are?

Yes.

Ah, sorry.

Not at all.

Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi" "The Second to Last Love" 2012 Fall Special

"Nagakura"

Nothing's come in.

Ah, that's right.

I don't have any work.

With no work, I don't need to go to the company.

Sighing first thing in the morning? That's not good, huh?

At the beginning of the day...

...you should have that "Ah, it's started," feeling or it won't be a good day.

Was I sighing just now?

You weren't even conscious of it? That's really not good.

That's not good, is it?

Now I need a, "Ah, today's the start of a brand-new day," feeling, right?

That's it.

Good morning. Ah, today's the start of a brand-new day, isn't it!?
