Renai Jidai (Love Generation, 恋愛時代)

This way right?｡ It's not this way.

Waaa... Great!

I'm glad we came.

Champagne from the hotel

to celebrate the anniversary of your wedding

Your are celebrating again in our hotel

and we are glad to welcome both of you.

You really don't have to congratulate us.

Ah…I'm so sorry

I'm bothering you during your time together.

Then...

To celebrate for the 4th year...

Allow me Mrs

I'm not a wife.

Eh?

We're divorced.

Eh?

But it's true that we're celebrating the anniversary here.

And... the fact that we were married is true too.

It was for a short period of time though. 2 years

１year and 5 months. But it seemed like 2 years, right?

If it would have been 1 year and 10 months then you can say 2 years.

but for 1 year and 5 months you can't say 2 years.

You really have to specify every little thing.

It's fine if I say 2 years. Why are you so obssesed with 2 years?

Well, it would look bad in the eyes of society

if we say we had a short marriage.

If you say it's bad for society then you do have a conscience.

I do! I don't think about it often but it didn't even look like a marriage.

It was a mistake!

Also… it looks like one of us didn't have much patience.

One of us, right?

The one who said let's get a divorce It was you, wasn't it?!

Weren't you the one who went and got the papers?

Ehm...

Would you like some vegetables before?

Of course. Aaa...

The rost beef here is the best, right?

- I'm looking forward to it... - Thank you.

- That guy must have thought that we're weird spouses - Ex spouses

I'm glad we ended it.

It's better to be alone.

You're right.

5 years ago

Thank you as always.

- It's 600 yen. - Here.

Thank you.

- Would you like me to make paper bag cover Yes.

Please wait a moment.

Thank you.

Would you like to go out for a cup of tea sometimes?

This is a problem.

I'm sorry.

- Well, I can't contact you. - Eh?

Please give me your contact before.

A...

E...?

Sorry...

Can I ask your name?

I'm Hayase. Hayase Riichiro.

I'm Eto Haru.

- See you. - Yeah.

Ah… Do you want this?

Idiot...!

- Sis, I'm done in the bath. I borrowed a towel.

Ok.

I would understand if he had an affair then you could have asked him money for damages.

I think he's a sincere person though.

It's a loan of 2 million yen for 10 years after all.

At that time you were married. You said those words. You remember.

Isn't that a contorted love of what?

Naive.

- That's all. - Yeah.

Haru...

just a moment...

About the alimony… Should I give it to you?

That's why I told him.

Please do so. 2 million

and don't hand me the money. I don't want to be looked as your mistress

Please make the payment via bank deposit transfer.

The face he made back then!

What? You said it yourself.

Don't tell me you don't want to.

Huh?

Is it ok if I take a loan?

No wonder that when he anticipated my decision and told me "Should I pay you the alimony?"

I thought that he was cool.

What?!

If you have something to say then tell me...

You can also go back to the dormitory where they'll scold you if you pass the curtfew.

Sis!

Did something happen sensei?

A... no I just have a sour stomach because I ate french yesterday.

I want to digest it quickly.

Sour stomach... You're still so young.

Next year I'll be 29 that's why it would be good if I could digest it quickly.

Ehm... you ate french yesterday do you think your stomach will hurt until next year?

Let's make a slow approach.

- In order to progress to the next level you need resolution. - Yes.

So Kitajima-san, with all your strength!

- Aa...yes. - Graduate from the kickboard.

Wait! It's still impossible!

I just remembered that time I fell into the Shimanto river when I was a child.

Ma-kun Yo-chan! Help me!

Please calm down! This is not the Shimanto river.

Pool! It's just the gym's pool!

I'm sorry.

- You can stand, right? - I'm standing. My feet reach the ground.

Kitajima-san It's not good if you become stiff.

It's not impossible to swim if you entrust your body to the water.

It's like love, isn't it?

It's not good to struggle by yourself.

There are times you need to entrust yourself to somebody else.

Love and swimming resemble each other.

You're wrong.

If it's like love then... I shouldn't be able to swim.

Eto-sensei, Good morning.

Good morning.

Matsui-san how are you doing?

First I want…vinegared wakame. boiled rape in bonito-flavoured soy sauce.

then… darkbanded rockfish,

Nagasaki's beef, the rose coloured steak of Dejima, and the wasabi sauce.

Delicious... last, bamboo shoots.

Can you eat that much?

If I can't eat everything I'll take them with me.

- Good evening. - Welcome.

Why are you here?

I decided to come for the delicious food, obviously!

I was at ease being by myself today.

I'm feeling a season here. It's called bamboo shoots Haru.

If she doesn't eat the bamboo shoots here then looks like can't be spring.

Wait wait wait… Stop calling me "Haru haru"

It's like…I feel sick when you call me by my name.

- A beer first, please. - Yes.

Then vinegared wakame

boiled rape in bonito-flavoured soy sauce, darkbanded rockfish,

Nagasaki's beef, the rose coloured steak of Dejima, and the wasabi sauce.

And to finish with bamboo shoots

You bothe have ordered the same things. Do you want to share?

Please make them separate!

I see.

…what?

I can't eat other bamboo shoots except the ones they make here.

Can we eat quietly since I want to enjoy my meal.

Your bitterness is useless when it comes from a child's mouth.

- I'm delicate. - What are you sayin? You're a man on your thirties

Here's the appetizer.This is inshore hagfish with green willow.

Thank you very much. A... Thank you for the food.

I'll eat it. Why?!

'Cause you don't like the inshore fish? I'll eat it.

I'm sorry. I'll give you something else.

I'm sorry. It's ok. You don't have to give me something else.

Chopsticks!

The way you hold your chopsticks! It hasn't gotten better at all.

- Leave me alone. - Then you leave me alone too.

What? You said "It's ok. You don't have to give me something else"

Why did you answer that instead of me?

I can't help it since I know everything about you.

- Here... the beer. - Thank you.

Aaa... Delicious!

Don't ever say that you know everything about me.

It looks like I'm your property. It's irritating!

Don't charge You're always like "say this, do that..."

your words are like a barrage of snow falling upon me

This used to happen all the time back then. It looks like yesterday.

Anyway to eat meals together after we broke up it's weird.

You're right. We should be like those couples that don't see each other ever again.

Then let's do that. You go that way!

Why do I have to descend?

You've chosen to have fun in your life, right?

I rise up and walk towards difficulties

Wait! I said wait!

I told you to go that way!

Give me a grace period now so I can keep going.

What's a grace period?

Where both single that's why things like this happen.

I'll find myself a lover and next time I marry I won't let things like this happen

Next time I'll be completely fine.

That one is the end of the grace period.

In that case, hurry and get married.

Look... do you see anyone good around here?

In that case it would be good if you got married, right?

Someone good looking and macho from your work isn't there any instructor there?

I'm not interested in appearance.

There was a guy who looked at me for a long time

His good eye failed thanks to you.

Don't point at me! You know stuff near my eye bother me.

I don't want to fail again!

I don't wanna do ever again

something so tiresome like that.

Then I'll introduce you to someone! The one you're going to marry.

Haa? Why do you have to?

I told you that I know everything about you.

In that case, I'll introduce someone to you too!

Because your tastes are simple and evident.

Good it's decided. I'll help the one who's gonna marry you.

I've decided too.

I'll make you happy with my own hands!

You both have such energetic behaviours you're the type who could strangle each other.

Did you consider that if he's willing to go as far as to introduce you to someone to marry
