1
00:00:04,410 --> 00:00:06,970
I loved getting wet in the rain.

2
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:11,691
I'd come home soaking wet.

3
00:00:12,071 --> 00:00:13,875
My dad used a towel,

4
00:00:13,902 --> 00:00:16,619
to briskly rub my head dry.

5
00:00:16,643 --> 00:00:18,190
I loved it.

6
00:00:35,580 --> 00:00:37,900
You're Mantai Satoko-chan aren't you?

7
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:42,460
Can you tell us your story?

8
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:10,030
It's been a while since I dreamt about that time.

9
00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:40,525
That however...

10
00:01:40,549 --> 00:01:42,760
I don't know if that was a dream.

11
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:46,630
Next time, let's come again.

12
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:50,890
If it's possible, just the two of us next time.

13
00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:05,470
I wonder what's happening to me.

14
00:02:05,481 --> 00:02:07,154
"Chasing the Wind"
Tsugumi Ryosuke

15
00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:10,505
I would like to know, what you think.

16
00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:19,360
Apparently, this is quite sound.

17
00:02:29,141 --> 00:02:34,569
Chapter 6
No One Loves Me

18
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,038
- Sato-chan.
- Yes.

19
00:02:45,063 --> 00:02:48,812
Remember our "singles treaty", it's still going isn't it?

20
00:02:51,204 --> 00:02:51,797
Yes.

21
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:56,128
That's great! Isn't it?

22
00:02:57,030 --> 00:03:01,990
I've been thinking of a lot of crazy things I'd do if I was betrayed.

23
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:10,360
So maybe... do you have something that you want to tell me?

24
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:13,960
Nothing?

25
00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:17,530
Not particularly.

26
00:03:21,870 --> 00:03:25,030
I see! Nothing eh?

27
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,930
Okay.

28
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:39,220
Okabe-san. Do you have a moment?

29
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:01,420
Hey. What are you trying to do...

30
00:04:02,903 --> 00:04:05,471
Hiranuma's instagram...

31
00:04:05,737 --> 00:04:08,531
he's uploaded tons of pictures of Okabe-san,

32
00:04:08,562 --> 00:04:10,080
that's strange isn't it?

33
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,906
Are you trying to romance everyone in sight?

34
00:04:15,143 --> 00:04:16,296
Uh.... No....

35
00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:18,260
I really didn't mean to.

36
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:21,142
It's not funny you know?

37
00:04:21,252 --> 00:04:23,352
Why? Why are you doing this?

38
00:04:24,285 --> 00:04:26,822
Hey, why are you doing this? Why?

39
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,472
Oh. I'm sorry.

40
00:04:39,496 --> 00:04:41,290
No, it's okay.

41
00:04:44,010 --> 00:04:48,160
But, maybe you should look a little more closely at what's happening around you.

42
00:04:52,253 --> 00:04:54,093
If you're not aware,

43
00:04:54,459 --> 00:04:58,039
there are a lot of people who have been hurt by you.

44
00:05:25,196 --> 00:05:30,221
Don't just sit there and be stuck with who you are and come out of your shell.

45
00:05:34,087 --> 00:05:39,887
Do you really need Marius to spell it out for you, on who you really are?

46
00:05:44,009 --> 00:05:47,049
No one will ever take pity on you.

47
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,630
Okabe-san.

48
00:06:05,010 --> 00:06:07,000
Can I talk to you for a second?

49
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,672
If anything in particular was bothering you,

50
00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:22,870
you would tell me about it, won't you?

51
00:06:24,910 --> 00:06:26,336
Nothing in particular...

52
00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:32,196
If it is within my power to help you, I'd be happy to.

53
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,748
Regarding your father, has he said anything to you?

54
00:06:47,310 --> 00:06:48,310
Uhm...

55
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:54,940
I'm sorry.

56
00:06:55,950 --> 00:06:58,090
Regarding my father....

57
00:06:59,910 --> 00:07:04,543
Oh. That was an insensitive question... I'm sorry.

58
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,900
What should I do?

59
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:19,483
Not just Ryosuke. Etsuko-san too.

60
00:07:19,526 --> 00:07:23,099
I need to smooth things over with everyone at work, because of what I've done.

61
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:29,463
What's the most important thing to you?

62
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,688
Your happiness? Or the happiness of others?

63
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,780
While my happiness is important,

64
00:07:41,807 --> 00:07:42,547
but...

65
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:44,950
Other people's happiness is irrelevant.

66
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:52,510
Well.... not for strangers.

67
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,220
These are people you care deeply about.

68
00:08:04,657 --> 00:08:05,860
Yes they are.

69
00:08:06,595 --> 00:08:10,052
Then, broaden your affections.

70
00:08:10,766 --> 00:08:11,459
What?

71
00:08:12,656 --> 00:08:18,658
Making your loved ones happy is a decisive step toward your own happiness.

72
00:08:21,036 --> 00:08:24,039
If you care about the people around you,

73
00:08:24,579 --> 00:08:25,835
broaden your affections.

74
00:08:26,132 --> 00:08:28,004
Love these people.

75
00:08:28,984 --> 00:08:32,353
It may be the shortcut to your own happiness.

76
00:08:33,391 --> 00:08:37,890
Think about them, and what you want to do for them, and put it into action.

77
00:08:38,171 --> 00:08:39,905
If you find something good about the other person,

78
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:43,960
you can build a relationship of trust by expressing words in your own style.

79
00:08:46,670 --> 00:08:48,633
If you have someone to love,

80
00:08:49,148 --> 00:08:51,825
you have to act out of love.

81
00:09:02,340 --> 00:09:03,640
Ozawa-san.

82
00:09:06,749 --> 00:09:08,169
What is it?

83
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:15,183
For today's picture book reading session to the kids...

84
00:09:16,599 --> 00:09:20,403
For the picture book selection, can you help me?

85
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:23,333
Why me?

86
00:09:26,490 --> 00:09:28,410
If I were to choose the books,

87
00:09:28,795 --> 00:09:31,808
I don't know if they would be the best selections.

88
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,934
The kids may not like them very much.

89
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,640
But...

90
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:42,190
Ozawa-san is...

91
00:09:43,233 --> 00:09:45,519
bright, and cheerful.

92
00:09:46,264 --> 00:09:49,077
I'm sure the kids would enjoy the picture books

93
00:09:49,150 --> 00:09:50,994
that you choose for them.

94
00:09:51,796 --> 00:09:54,430
Do you think I'm an idiot?

95
00:09:57,260 --> 00:09:59,234
I've always envied you.

96
00:10:01,049 --> 00:10:01,709
What?

97
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:08,256
Ozawa-san, you have a lot of things I don't.

98
00:10:09,669 --> 00:10:12,205
That's why I've always envied you.

99
00:10:13,028 --> 00:10:14,826
I admired you.

100
00:10:16,076 --> 00:10:17,166
So...

101
00:10:20,509 --> 00:10:22,589
Will you help me?

102
00:10:23,826 --> 00:10:25,246
Please.

103
00:10:30,761 --> 00:10:37,284
Are you ready? Repeat after me in the same voice, okay?

104
00:10:37,378 --> 00:10:38,444
Yes!

105
00:10:39,652 --> 00:10:42,004
Poo-oop! Mr. Poop!

106
00:10:42,224 --> 00:10:45,411
Poo-oop! Mr. Poop!

107
00:10:46,812 --> 00:10:49,371
Poo-oop! Mr. Poop!

108
00:10:49,565 --> 00:10:52,180
I'm waiting to poop.

109
00:10:52,476 --> 00:10:55,060
Poo-oop! Mr. Poop!

110
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:58,064
I'm waiting to poop.

111
00:10:58,976 --> 00:11:01,916
Poo-oop! Poo-oop!

112
00:11:02,093 --> 00:11:05,367
Out comes the poop! Out comes the poop!

113
00:11:08,221 --> 00:11:10,386
He's pooping.

114
00:11:10,950 --> 00:11:13,531
Poo-oop, is it coming?

115
00:11:13,854 --> 00:11:16,421
Poo-oop, is it coming?

116
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:19,523
Poo-oop, is it coming?

117
00:11:19,665 --> 00:11:22,679
Poo-oop, is it coming?

118
00:11:23,986 --> 00:11:26,966
Wow, that's kinda awesome.

119
00:11:28,412 --> 00:11:31,482
It's really wonderful.

120
00:11:37,882 --> 00:11:39,368
Muraishi-kun.

121
00:11:39,535 --> 00:11:40,388
Huh?

122
00:11:42,805 --> 00:11:44,118
Me...

123
00:11:44,706 --> 00:11:46,026
and you...

124
00:11:47,059 --> 00:11:49,519
we can talk to each other without putting up walls.

125
00:11:50,659 --> 00:11:52,771
It felt comfortable to me,

126
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:57,208
and I may have been taking advantage of that from my side only.

127
00:12:00,116 --> 00:12:01,566
Because of that.

128
00:12:02,605 --> 00:12:06,387
if I gave you a bad impression,

129
00:12:06,565 --> 00:12:07,805
I'm really sorry.

130
00:12:12,269 --> 00:12:13,846
On the contrary, I'm sorry.

131
00:12:16,656 --> 00:12:18,316
For being selfish.

132
00:12:23,352 --> 00:12:24,933
From now on...

133
00:12:25,725 --> 00:12:27,617
if you need anything,

134
00:12:28,142 --> 00:12:29,943
feel free to tell me about it.

135
00:12:32,946 --> 00:12:35,182
I'll take you up on that.

136
00:12:35,206 --> 00:12:36,226
Great.

137
00:12:47,246 --> 00:12:48,919
Why is it not available?

138
00:12:49,023 --> 00:12:51,067
I'm sure I made a reservation for it.

139
00:12:52,289 --> 00:12:54,061
I made a mistake.

140
00:12:54,869 --> 00:12:56,190
I'm very sorry.

141
00:12:56,246 --> 00:12:58,139
I came to the front desk, and you said it was ok.

142
00:12:58,431 --> 00:12:59,864
What the hell is going on?

143
00:13:00,926 --> 00:13:02,507
What's going on?

144
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:04,161
Excuse me, sir.

145
00:13:04,929 --> 00:13:06,656
How about this book?

146
00:13:07,123 --> 00:13:10,087
What? This is not the book that I want to read!

147
00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:15,583
Yes, I know. But this is a mystery novel for those who are familiar with genre.

148
00:13:15,686 --> 00:13:17,981
You will be very satisfied with this work.

149
00:13:18,362 --> 00:13:21,951
If you haven't read it yet, I would recommend you to read it once.

150
00:13:22,329 --> 00:13:23,389
Is that so?

151
00:13:23,902 --> 00:13:24,582
Yes.

152
00:13:25,749 --> 00:13:28,003
I like that it doesn't have a bad ending.

153
00:13:28,384 --> 00:13:31,039
If you like the book you have reserved,

154
00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:33,598
I think you will like this one too.

155
00:13:33,745 --> 00:13:35,232
Hmmm.

156
00:13:45,501 --> 00:13:50,308
"In humanity, there exists a small glimmer of hope."

157
00:13:50,442 --> 00:13:52,742
"this piece of work "Chasing the Wind","

158
00:13:53,036 --> 00:13:55,619
"is without a doubt, a masterpiece."

159
00:13:58,733 --> 00:14:00,153
Très bien.

160
00:14:01,353 --> 00:14:03,883
Bravo! Wonderful!

161
00:14:05,288 --> 00:14:07,468
Great material.

162
00:14:07,762 --> 00:14:11,535
Now if you could explain why you wrote this...

163
00:14:13,322 --> 00:14:15,585
Firstly, after reading carefully,

164
00:14:16,203 --> 00:14:17,981
this story,

165
00:14:18,308 --> 00:14:20,395
with its delicate choice of words,

166
00:14:21,187 --> 00:14:22,830
has lots of wonderful points.

167
00:14:23,003 --> 00:14:24,683
This is indeed,

168
00:14:24,707 --> 00:14:26,551
a well crafted story.

169
00:14:26,721 --> 00:14:27,864
Not only that,

170
00:14:28,744 --> 00:14:31,504
but it's honest about situations that may be difficult

171
00:14:31,845 --> 00:14:34,517
or frustrating for the reader to understand.

172
00:14:36,186 --> 00:14:39,495
That would be better for Ryosuke.

173
00:14:40,051 --> 00:14:42,575
I thought it would be a plus for him.

174
00:14:43,912 --> 00:14:46,023
When you said Ryosuke

175
00:14:46,616 --> 00:14:51,180
would be disappointed when he finds out who you really are, but I doubt it.

176
00:14:53,366 --> 00:14:59,607
You have read a tremendous amount of books, and the knowledge and education you have found in the process、

177
00:14:59,742 --> 00:15:01,411
is a great source of fascination.

178
00:15:01,595 --> 00:15:04,513
No one else has that, except you, of course.

179
00:15:05,272 --> 00:15:06,866
This is exactly

180
00:15:06,890 --> 00:15:09,584
what only the real you can write.

181
00:15:23,156 --> 00:15:25,436
New Email

182
00:15:27,068 --> 00:15:28,724
Dear Tsugumi Ryosuke,

183
00:15:29,612 --> 00:15:32,609
I have not only written my descriptions about French literature,

184
00:15:33,090 --> 00:15:38,276
but also what I frankly felt about it without any presumptions.

185
00:15:39,328 --> 00:15:40,515
Okabe Satoko.

186
00:16:27,932 --> 00:16:29,932
Staff Employment Contract Records

187
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:51,239
Look, it's arrived!

188
00:16:49,807 --> 00:16:51,521
{\an9}New Email

189
00:16:53,008 --> 00:16:55,675
What did he write? What was in his reply?

190
00:16:56,793 --> 00:16:59,063
It's extremely polite,

191
00:16:59,373 --> 00:17:00,951
and many words of thanks.

192
00:17:01,106 --> 00:17:03,941
Alright! That's it, that's it!

193
00:17:04,252 --> 00:17:06,737
After that, he asked me out to dinner.

194
00:17:06,798 --> 00:17:07,704
Yes!

195
00:17:08,172 --> 00:17:11,335
This is the real deal. You just have to keep your head on straight.

196
00:17:13,090 --> 00:17:14,751
Huh? What happened?

197
00:17:16,106 --> 00:17:18,697
I'm so nervous, I'm feeling sick.

198
00:17:19,399 --> 00:17:21,537
Don't be afraid of failure.

199
00:17:22,076 --> 00:17:24,413
and don't let your feelings cause undue tension.

200
00:17:24,566 --> 00:17:26,244
It's okay to fail.

201
00:17:26,512 --> 00:17:27,172
What?

202
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:28,481
From here on,

203
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:32,920
if you push yourself too hard, you'll put too much pressure on yourself,

204
00:17:32,946 --> 00:17:37,430
you'll make the situation worse, and you may end up doing something you can't undo.

205
00:17:38,455 --> 00:17:39,468
That's right!

206
00:17:39,985 --> 00:17:43,611
From here on, ease your tension.

207
00:17:45,866 --> 00:17:47,359
Yes.

208
00:17:47,446 --> 00:17:49,133
I'm much better now.

209
00:17:49,283 --> 00:17:50,759
I can do it!

210
00:18:14,511 --> 00:18:17,470
Hey. Where did you disappear to?

211
00:18:18,382 --> 00:18:20,424
Remember what I said.

212
00:18:22,676 --> 00:18:23,687
Don't look at me.

213
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:26,629
Look over there. Look at Marius.

214
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:34,822
For your thoughts on the novel,

215
00:18:34,926 --> 00:18:36,076
thank you very much.

216
00:18:37,271 --> 00:18:39,572
Uh, oh, it's nothing.

217
00:18:41,126 --> 00:18:42,276
Somehow,

218
00:18:43,379 --> 00:18:45,465
I was really moved.

219
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:47,896
What?

220
00:18:49,166 --> 00:18:52,390
To think that there are people who understand me so well, makes me very happy.

221
00:18:54,326 --> 00:18:55,656
I'm really...

222
00:18:57,406 --> 00:18:59,066
I don't know how to put it...

223
00:19:00,608 --> 00:19:02,382
I felt like I was rewarded,

224
00:19:03,061 --> 00:19:05,419
because I was saved by you.

225
00:19:07,638 --> 00:19:08,638
Not at all.

226
00:19:10,712 --> 00:19:12,758
Actually, that novel...

227
00:19:13,298 --> 00:19:15,110
I've never shown it to anyone.

228
00:19:15,277 --> 00:19:17,376
And I had no plans to publish it.

229
00:19:19,136 --> 00:19:20,951
Is that so?

230
00:19:21,046 --> 00:19:21,746
Yeah.

231
00:19:22,399 --> 00:19:25,364
What I want to write and what the public wants to read,

232
00:19:25,388 --> 00:19:27,079
seem to be very far apart.

233
00:19:30,116 --> 00:19:31,776
I love it.

234
00:19:35,892 --> 00:19:37,526
Ah, no.

235
00:19:39,895 --> 00:19:41,315
That's not what I mean...

236
00:19:44,189 --> 00:19:49,016
Okabe-san, what made you interested in French literature?

237
00:19:52,346 --> 00:19:53,905
Well, uhm.

238
00:19:58,236 --> 00:20:01,420
Honest. Be honest.

239
00:20:02,049 --> 00:20:03,662
Just be yourself.

240
00:20:09,432 --> 00:20:10,836
Actually,

241
00:20:12,245 --> 00:20:13,361
in the beginning,

242
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:19,078
I wasn't that particularly fond of French literature.

243
00:20:19,963 --> 00:20:21,648
Oh, I see.

244
00:20:28,071 --> 00:20:29,071
Marguerite!

245
00:20:35,758 --> 00:20:38,888
Don't be afriad of failure. Keep going.

246
00:20:47,018 --> 00:20:51,588
Marguerite Duras' "L'amant" (The Lover), do you know about it?

247
00:20:53,064 --> 00:20:53,844
Yes.

248
00:20:56,648 --> 00:21:01,188
By chance, I read it in middle school.

249
00:21:02,918 --> 00:21:08,698
The main character was... the same age as I was at the time, 15 years old.

250
00:21:13,118 --> 00:21:15,649
It's okay. Go on.

251
00:21:21,998 --> 00:21:23,359
Okabe-san?

252
00:21:25,425 --> 00:21:27,742
- Voler
- And...?

253
00:21:31,838 --> 00:21:33,378
- Voler
- Voler!

254
00:21:35,108 --> 00:21:38,348
There are so many erotic scenes and I read them over and over again.

255
00:21:38,675 --> 00:21:43,441
B-But... it looked like I was reading French literature instead, so I thought it would be really convenient.

256
00:21:52,780 --> 00:21:54,527
Hahaha

257
00:21:55,152 --> 00:21:57,692
Yes! I know what you mean.

258
00:21:59,468 --> 00:22:05,268
It's like I'm at Starbucks with my macbook open, but it looks like I'm doing work even though I'm actually playing a game.

259
00:22:14,048 --> 00:22:17,838
You're really a very different person than when you're in the library, aren't you?

260
00:22:20,738 --> 00:22:22,383
Is that so?

261
00:22:24,113 --> 00:22:24,740
Yes.

262
00:22:25,154 --> 00:22:26,285
Especially today.

263
00:22:26,742 --> 00:22:28,709
Maybe it's the clothes you're wearing.

264
00:22:29,241 --> 00:22:30,339
It's lovely.

265
00:22:37,911 --> 00:22:39,343
Shall we eat?

266
00:22:40,555 --> 00:22:41,041
Yes.

267
00:22:42,727 --> 00:22:43,560
Alright!

268
00:22:44,533 --> 00:22:46,748
Now ask him what he's been reading lately.

269
00:22:47,678 --> 00:22:49,509
Talk about his interests,

270
00:22:49,533 --> 00:22:52,672
and use your expertise like we discussed yesterday.

271
00:22:57,664 --> 00:23:00,693
Uhm, lately...

272
00:23:00,787 --> 00:23:01,527
Satoko-san.

273
00:23:08,258 --> 00:23:09,258
Yes?

274
00:23:17,746 --> 00:23:19,015
What is it?

275
00:23:22,358 --> 00:23:23,344
I love you.

276
00:23:28,796 --> 00:23:29,370
What?

277
00:23:31,746 --> 00:23:34,192
Will you go out with me?

278
00:24:20,891 --> 00:24:22,101
I love you.

279
00:24:24,348 --> 00:24:27,026
Will you go out with me?

280
00:24:32,764 --> 00:24:33,481
Yes.

281
00:24:35,668 --> 00:24:39,578
If it was a dream, I don't want to wake up.

282
00:24:41,107 --> 00:24:43,247
But as always...

283
00:24:44,364 --> 00:24:46,714
I never get what I want.

284
00:24:46,788 --> 00:24:48,048
Etsuko-san.

285
00:24:49,538 --> 00:24:50,838
Sato-chan.

286
00:24:56,618 --> 00:24:59,028
Mantai Satoko-chan, right?

287
00:25:02,724 --> 00:25:04,817
I wonder how it's going?

288
00:25:05,384 --> 00:25:09,828
You're the girl from the Mantai incident who started it all.

289
00:25:18,191 --> 00:25:19,683
Here it comes,

290
00:25:20,531 --> 00:25:21,784
my reality.
