1
00:00:02,045 --> 00:00:04,448
Switched places? Aso-san.

2
00:00:04,448 --> 00:00:07,117
Did Touru do something to you?

3
00:00:07,117 --> 00:00:10,020
I can't go out with you, Shogo-san-san.

4
00:00:10,020 --> 00:00:13,788
Do you like Touru-kun? I like him

5
00:00:13,790 --> 00:00:17,127
Then why didn't you tell me? Isn't that awful? You knew how I felt, right?

6
00:00:17,127 --> 00:00:20,797
Ever since we switched, all you've done is get in my way.

7
00:00:20,797 --> 00:00:24,097
I wish I could have followed Mom and Dad

8
00:00:34,267 --> 00:00:35,810
Ah...

9
00:00:46,823 --> 00:00:47,792
Here.

10
00:01:03,253 --> 00:01:04,207
Ahh.

11
00:01:05,996 --> 00:01:08,675
I'm sorry for going out with you.

12
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,712
It's hard to think about dreams for the future again, isn't it?

13
00:01:19,610 --> 00:01:22,792
Eh? Aso-san. You asked me

14
00:01:22,792 --> 00:01:25,651
about it the other day, didn't you? Yeah.

15
00:01:27,349 --> 00:01:31,429
There was nothing I wanted to do even when I was young.

16
00:01:32,384 --> 00:01:36,929
I ended up letting go of the dream I finally found.

17
00:01:37,886 --> 00:01:41,024
Today's the anniversary of my friend's death.

18
00:01:42,211 --> 00:01:45,629
I think it's been 20 years since he died in a racing accident.

19
00:01:47,582 --> 00:01:50,928
After he died, I was afraid to move on.

20
00:01:51,842 --> 00:01:54,188
What a shameful story.

21
00:01:58,757 --> 00:02:01,315
Oh, I'm sorry for being so serious.

22
00:02:01,878 --> 00:02:02,799
No problem.

23
00:02:06,432 --> 00:02:07,486
I'll walk you home.

24
00:02:09,353 --> 00:02:10,343
It's okay.

25
00:02:12,817 --> 00:02:13,957
Thank you for the drink.

26
00:02:22,786 --> 00:02:26,929
[phone ringing]

27
00:02:26,944 --> 00:02:28,369
[Godzilla mobile]

28
00:02:30,334 --> 00:02:32,542
You can sleep here for today.

29
00:02:33,752 --> 00:02:35,995
The remote control for the heater is here.

30
00:02:36,424 --> 00:02:38,633
Feel free to use the refrigerator, too.

31
00:02:40,668 --> 00:02:43,019
Shoko-san, I was worried about you.

32
00:02:44,269 --> 00:02:48,773
Well, I don't think it's bad to have quarells in a relationship though

33
00:02:50,664 --> 00:02:52,461
Good night then.

34
00:02:56,662 --> 00:03:00,941
I'm glad. Thanks, Suka-chan.

35
00:03:01,091 --> 00:03:04,427
I'll go check on her again tomorrow morning.

36
00:03:04,427 --> 00:03:07,433
Suka-chan, I have a favor to ask...

37
00:03:08,847 --> 00:03:12,121
Can you not tell Miwa about it?

38
00:03:13,598 --> 00:03:16,219
I know. Thanks.

39
00:03:17,813 --> 00:03:19,440
Bye.

40
00:03:28,299 --> 00:03:37,084
(Cicada sounds)

41
00:03:44,542 --> 00:03:52,129
Konya wa Kokoro Dake Daite

{\an3}Episode 5 [Two Mothers] (8 episodes)

43
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,465
Oh, good morning. Were you able to sleep?

44
00:04:22,869 --> 00:04:24,650
Oh no. What's wrong?

45
00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:27,034
My back hurts like hell.

46
00:04:28,331 --> 00:04:31,781
Ouch, ouch... I guess the sofa was too hard.

47
00:04:32,099 --> 00:04:36,542
It gets worse when you're over 40. That's the worst

48
00:04:37,792 --> 00:04:41,012
How are those muffins? I baked them first thing in the morning.

49
00:04:42,535 --> 00:04:45,879
You used regular butter, right?

50
00:04:46,231 --> 00:04:49,204
You should use unsalted butter. It's too salty.

51
00:04:49,415 --> 00:04:52,887
I see. I'll try that.

52
00:04:53,470 --> 00:04:55,805
You know a lot, don't you, Miwa?

53
00:04:56,206 --> 00:04:58,374
I used to make sweets with my mom.

54
00:04:58,882 --> 00:05:01,896
So you two were close.

55
00:05:03,371 --> 00:05:05,076
I was just acting the good girl.

56
00:05:05,553 --> 00:05:09,085
I think everyone acts a little.

57
00:05:09,085 --> 00:05:12,422
It's necessary to survive in this world.

58
00:05:12,422 --> 00:05:16,884
Especially when you're young, school and family are all that matters in society.

59
00:05:19,118 --> 00:05:21,664
That person doesn't understand that at all.

60
00:05:22,109 --> 00:05:25,854
No, I don't think Shoko-san has any bad intentions either.

61
00:05:26,565 --> 00:05:28,371
What does Goji like about that woman?

62
00:05:28,894 --> 00:05:30,865
What part? Outside? Inside?

63
00:05:31,107 --> 00:05:34,978
Hmm, looks and substance are two things in one.

64
00:05:34,978 --> 00:05:38,862
So it's hard to say which is which.

65
00:05:39,674 --> 00:05:42,770
Does that mean you get nervous when you see my sleeping face?

66
00:05:44,891 --> 00:05:48,124
Disgusting! Oh, sorry.

67
00:05:48,124 --> 00:05:50,527
I don't think so...

68
00:05:52,367 --> 00:05:57,467
I understand. Well, in the end...

69
00:05:57,927 --> 00:06:00,832
It's fun and relieving to be together with someone

70
00:06:00,848 --> 00:06:02,739
I wonder if that part is true

71
00:06:02,739 --> 00:06:04,801
It's not about logic.

72
00:06:07,610 --> 00:06:09,612
Do you want to eat it? Ahn.

73
00:06:09,612 --> 00:06:12,912
(laughs)

74
00:06:16,939 --> 00:06:18,753
Yamamura-san.

75
00:06:22,991 --> 00:06:26,871
Please go put together the questionnaire for the graduation album by tomorrow.

76
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:28,394
But this is Yamada-san's job, right?

77
00:06:28,402 --> 00:06:30,468
Yamada-san's not feeling well.

78
00:06:32,410 --> 00:06:34,041
Yeah. Another thing

79
00:06:34,681 --> 00:06:37,932
The length of your skirt still hasn't been fixed.

80
00:06:38,567 --> 00:06:40,495
I fixed it. Where?

81
00:06:42,073 --> 00:06:44,617
It's too short no matter how you look at it.

82
00:06:44,656 --> 00:06:46,590
You're also preparing for the internal entrance exam.

83
00:06:46,614 --> 00:06:48,434
Aren't you self-aware?

84
00:06:52,484 --> 00:06:56,793
Again? Tamura has her sights completely on Hiro, doesn't she?

85
00:06:56,793 --> 00:06:58,047
Hiro...

86
00:06:59,915 --> 00:07:01,917
I hate this.

87
00:07:01,940 --> 00:07:04,325
Why do I have to do it all myself?

88
00:07:05,349 --> 00:07:08,136
Ah Standing is hard.

89
00:07:09,524 --> 00:07:10,680
Are you okay?

90
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:15,453
Yeah.

91
00:07:16,859 --> 00:07:19,082
Then, please take care of the rest.

92
00:07:19,365 --> 00:07:20,994
Oh, wait a minute.

93
00:07:26,288 --> 00:07:29,314
Souvenirs from Hokkaido. I didn't give them to you yesterday.

94
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,068
Thank you.

95
00:07:39,564 --> 00:07:41,857
Ah, it's cute.

96
00:07:44,044 --> 00:07:47,688
I've been thinking about what you said yesterday.

97
00:07:48,837 --> 00:07:51,114
If I had looked different...

98
00:07:51,114 --> 00:07:55,985
For instance... if I were a young girl. Would you have done the same thing?

99
00:07:56,697 --> 00:08:00,003
But I realized there's no point in thinking about it.

100
00:08:01,104 --> 00:08:05,395
I just want to talk more and know more about you.

101
00:08:05,762 --> 00:08:07,730
That's all.

102
00:08:07,730 --> 00:08:11,601
(sound of door opening)

103
00:08:12,377 --> 00:08:15,301
Where's Fukao? Ah, he's upstairs...

104
00:08:17,782 --> 00:08:20,760
Michiru. Why didn't you call me back?

105
00:08:22,159 --> 00:08:23,091
Let's talk upstairs.

106
00:08:23,958 --> 00:08:26,058
Can't you talk in front of this person?

107
00:08:33,115 --> 00:08:34,069
Let's stop already.

108
00:08:35,272 --> 00:08:38,550
It's better to break up. It's better for both of us.

109
00:08:41,014 --> 00:08:44,221
Are you serious? Yeah.

110
00:08:48,513 --> 00:08:49,702
Good.

111
00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:53,435
You saved me the trouble bringing this up

112
00:08:53,474 --> 00:08:55,778
A man who gets involved with old women,

113
00:08:55,778 --> 00:08:58,078
I'd rather not have that. Hey.

114
00:09:02,414 --> 00:09:06,555
Aren't you embarrassed about your age?

115
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,061
I think there's some kind of misunderstanding. I...

116
00:09:12,061 --> 00:09:15,761
You think you're a good person but you're just an annoying old lady.

117
00:09:23,007 --> 00:09:24,226
Aso-san?

118
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:28,308
Michiru-san! Wait.

119
00:09:31,795 --> 00:09:35,284
It's a misunderstanding. I have nothing to do with Fukao-san...

120
00:09:35,284 --> 00:09:36,882
How dare you?

121
00:09:37,772 --> 00:09:40,423
She said it wasn't true, so it's not true, right?

122
00:09:40,842 --> 00:09:44,093
You even have Touru-kun wrapped around your finger.

123
00:09:44,607 --> 00:09:46,429
That's not true... Just as well.

124
00:09:46,429 --> 00:09:49,098
You're a junior, you should do something about Shogo-kun.

125
00:09:49,098 --> 00:09:51,434
Eh? He's so persistent and troublesome

126
00:09:51,434 --> 00:09:54,103
He wants me to marry him because he's quitting college and getting a job.

127
00:09:54,492 --> 00:09:56,773
He's out of his mind. He only slept with me once.

128
00:09:57,219 --> 00:09:59,676
Please don't talk like that. He's a serious person.

129
00:09:59,676 --> 00:10:03,985
He's only 20, right? He's too childish to talk like that

130
00:10:05,743 --> 00:10:08,451
Isn't it you who's childish, Michiru-san?

131
00:10:08,451 --> 00:10:12,789
Huh? Even 20-year-olds fall in love with people.

132
00:10:12,789 --> 00:10:15,692
You're too old to understand something like that?

133
00:10:16,209 --> 00:10:20,100
What are you talking about? Just because  Fukao-san was a little cold to you,

134
00:10:20,530 --> 00:10:24,000
you can't just go messing around with a younger man like that.

135
00:10:24,512 --> 00:10:28,004
Is that what an adult does? I'm really disappointed.

136
00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:30,503
Michiru-san, you're so lame.

137
00:10:36,199 --> 00:10:37,256
Are you okay?

138
00:10:39,943 --> 00:10:44,010
I'm not okay, but...

139
00:10:46,025 --> 00:10:47,197
I'm fine.

140
00:10:48,491 --> 00:10:51,828
They say it's bad for your back if it's too soft

141
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:53,828
Here we go.

142
00:10:55,743 --> 00:10:57,147
Ahh!

143
00:10:58,881 --> 00:11:02,401
Chief Editor, what are you doing? Uh...

144
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:13,771
Eh? What?

145
00:11:25,416 --> 00:11:26,252
Huh?

146
00:11:28,288 --> 00:11:30,319
I'm just getting a change of clothes.

147
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,139
Ah, ouch!

148
00:11:36,139 --> 00:11:36,977
Ouch...

149
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:41,845
Let me do it

150
00:11:44,573 --> 00:11:48,484
I've done this a few times with my lower back, so it's become a habit.

151
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:51,036
Oh no, something's creaking.

152
00:11:51,629 --> 00:11:55,825
I think it'll get worse if you keep sleeping on that couch.

153
00:11:56,237 --> 00:11:57,313
Why don't you stay here?

154
00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:02,736
I'll rent an apartment when I get enough money from my part-time job.

155
00:12:10,885 --> 00:12:13,758
Miwa... I'm sorry.

156
00:12:15,172 --> 00:12:16,953
I'll do my best on the exam.

157
00:12:25,557 --> 00:12:29,436
{\an8}DAY OF INTERNAL ENTRANCE EXAM

158
00:12:28,673 --> 00:12:32,995
Stay calm. It's okay. I've done all I can do.

159
00:12:32,995 --> 00:12:35,798
What? Pervert? There was a commotion at the station.

160
00:12:35,798 --> 00:12:38,249
The girl was wearing our uniform.

161
00:12:38,562 --> 00:12:44,117
We will now begin the guidance for the internal entrance exam for Eika Joshi Gakuin University.

162
00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:49,812
First, during the exam, the only thing you can leave on your desk is a graphite pencil...

163
00:12:50,215 --> 00:12:52,820
What happened to Hiro?

164
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:56,085
(sound of door opening)

165
00:12:56,542 --> 00:12:58,339
Sorry. I'm late.

166
00:12:59,276 --> 00:13:00,609
Please wait.

167
00:13:02,414 --> 00:13:06,095
The start time is 8:10. You're 3 minutes too late.

168
00:13:06,328 --> 00:13:08,764
You're late. You're not qualified to take the test.

169
00:13:08,764 --> 00:13:11,100
Please leave the room.

170
00:13:11,454 --> 00:13:13,284
I was molested on the train.

171
00:13:14,004 --> 00:13:16,105
So I was taken to the station office...

172
00:13:16,105 --> 00:13:19,310
Do you think that kind of excuse will work? It's true!

173
00:13:20,474 --> 00:13:22,778
The written exam starts at 8:30, right? There's still time...

174
00:13:22,778 --> 00:13:25,114
It's not enough if you can make it in time for the written exam.

175
00:13:25,114 --> 00:13:26,926
The guidance is also a part of the exam.

176
00:13:27,661 --> 00:13:28,591
Yamamura-san.

177
00:13:30,106 --> 00:13:33,456
During the interview, you said, "I don't care about the department,

178
00:13:33,456 --> 00:13:36,792
as long as I can go to university." You said that, didn't you?

179
00:13:36,792 --> 00:13:41,444
That kind of carelessness is reflected in your daily actions!

180
00:13:43,358 --> 00:13:44,949
You're wrong.

181
00:13:46,644 --> 00:13:48,070
It's not lax.

182
00:13:48,070 --> 00:13:50,806
Right now, we're searching for our purpose in life, right?

183
00:13:51,081 --> 00:13:52,742
These kids are going to college.

184
00:13:52,742 --> 00:13:55,144
and are going to encounter all kinds of possibilities.

185
00:13:55,144 --> 00:13:59,482
How can a teacher deprive them of that possibility because they're only three minutes late?

186
00:13:59,482 --> 00:14:03,753
If you can't be punctual, you can't make it in society.

187
00:14:03,753 --> 00:14:06,088
If you're going to start talking about society...

188
00:14:06,088 --> 00:14:10,088
isn't it important to have the attitude of not crying yourself to sleep when you're molested?

189
00:14:12,091 --> 00:14:15,097
It's wrong for you to wear such a short skirt!

190
00:14:15,462 --> 00:14:17,151
It's like asking to be touched.

191
00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:21,304
Ah I see. Jealousy.

192
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,108
I understand. High school girls are so bright and shiny, they have nothing to be afraid of.

193
00:14:26,255 --> 00:14:28,444
They say harsh things to older women.

194
00:14:28,583 --> 00:14:30,780
I can totally understand why you're upset.

195
00:14:30,950 --> 00:14:34,450
But that doesn't mean you can't nip a student's future in the bud.

196
00:14:34,631 --> 00:14:37,150
There's no limit to your arrogance!

197
00:14:44,027 --> 00:14:46,093
Tamura-sensei, what's wrong?

198
00:14:49,752 --> 00:14:53,336
Yamamura-san was 3 minutes late for the guidance...

199
00:14:53,734 --> 00:14:55,609
There's still time for the written exam.

200
00:14:55,719 --> 00:14:58,151
Hurry up and take your seat. Yes.

201
00:15:10,772 --> 00:15:13,319
Hello...

202
00:15:17,198 --> 00:15:21,097
Miwa, I see you've left.

203
00:15:21,414 --> 00:15:22,734
Why don't you sit down?

204
00:15:28,863 --> 00:15:31,340
Ah...

205
00:15:31,874 --> 00:15:35,547
I'd like a beer, but I can't drink, so I'll have coffee.

206
00:15:37,149 --> 00:15:39,682
I had an internal entrance exam today.

207
00:15:40,288 --> 00:15:42,209
I'm out of energy.

208
00:15:43,326 --> 00:15:47,423
Hey, have you heard from your senpai?

209
00:15:47,543 --> 00:15:48,709
Shogo-san?

210
00:15:49,756 --> 00:15:50,826
Did something happen?

211
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:57,610
I didn't know that was going on.

212
00:15:59,466 --> 00:16:03,735
We're here. Michiru-san lives in a gorgeous apartment, doesn't she?

213
00:16:06,912 --> 00:16:07,834
Hey.

214
00:16:09,646 --> 00:16:10,543
Senpai!

215
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,689
Touru, Miwa-chan. What are you doing here?

216
00:16:19,135 --> 00:16:20,283
Michiru-san.

217
00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:23,383
You're late. I've been waiting for you.

218
00:16:25,172 --> 00:16:27,780
That's enough. You're bothering me.

219
00:16:28,749 --> 00:16:31,631
If you come here again, I'll report you to the police.

220
00:16:34,704 --> 00:16:37,603
Michiru-san! Senpai!

221
00:16:41,284 --> 00:16:45,246
I know Michiru-san is saying these things, but I know she doesn't really mean it.

222
00:16:45,285 --> 00:16:47,625
Because I said I'd quit college and go to work.

223
00:16:47,665 --> 00:16:50,786
She's being cold on purpose because she's thinking of me.

224
00:16:51,026 --> 00:16:53,776
Shogo-san, weren't you planning on becoming an architect.

225
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,792
and give your parents a house as a present?

226
00:16:57,171 --> 00:17:02,056
You might regret it for the rest of your life if you quit college because of your temporary feelings.

227
00:17:02,248 --> 00:17:04,967
I think so too. Thank you for worrying about me.

228
00:17:05,347 --> 00:17:06,573
But I'll be fine.

229
00:17:11,570 --> 00:17:14,830
{\an8}Dad. Today, I finished the internal entrance exam. You don't have to worry about anything.

230
00:17:17,633 --> 00:17:20,097
It'll be okay, right?

231
00:17:23,001 --> 00:17:27,751
Please, God... seriously please!

232
00:17:30,477 --> 00:17:32,316
She didn't pass? Unfortunately.

233
00:17:34,252 --> 00:17:36,927
Does that mean I didn't get enough points on the test?

234
00:17:37,153 --> 00:17:40,102
No, it's an overall evaluation based on the written exam and the internal application.

235
00:17:40,102 --> 00:17:43,439
She's been following the school rules.

236
00:17:43,976 --> 00:17:47,309
She haven't been late or absent for the past three years. Why?

237
00:17:47,729 --> 00:17:50,312
There's still time before the general entrance exam in February.

238
00:17:50,827 --> 00:17:54,012
We'll support you as much as we can.

239
00:18:00,766 --> 00:18:05,349
I'm sorry, Miwa. I don't want to hear anything. Leave me alone.

240
00:18:10,584 --> 00:18:12,072
That's too bad.

241
00:18:22,097 --> 00:18:24,044
Miwa.

242
00:18:29,026 --> 00:18:31,742
I'm sorry, Hiro.

243
00:18:32,961 --> 00:18:35,090
Because you stood up for me.

244
00:18:35,483 --> 00:18:38,592
Tamura gave you a hard time, and...

245
00:18:40,262 --> 00:18:45,467
If that's why you failed the exam, then I...

246
00:18:54,054 --> 00:18:56,498
It's not Hiro's fault.

247
00:19:02,076 --> 00:19:05,014
How's Miwa after that?

248
00:19:05,881 --> 00:19:09,483
She's been holed up in her room for a week since then.

249
00:19:10,452 --> 00:19:13,392
No matter how much I apologize, she won't talk to me.

250
00:19:13,923 --> 00:19:16,600
I've done something I can't take back.

251
00:19:17,303 --> 00:19:19,373
I took away her future, didn't I?

252
00:19:20,610 --> 00:19:22,938
There's still the general entrance exam.

253
00:19:23,313 --> 00:19:25,938
You can make up for it from now on.

254
00:19:29,861 --> 00:19:33,415
[phone ringing]

255
00:19:33,415 --> 00:19:38,754
[amswering machine] I'm not home at the moment. Please leave a message.

256
00:19:39,316 --> 00:19:40,787
Hello. This is Maoka.

257
00:19:42,326 --> 00:19:46,962
I just got back to Japan. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon.

258
00:19:46,962 --> 00:19:49,262
Then give my regards to Miwa.

259
00:19:51,998 --> 00:19:54,436
Tomorrow?

260
00:19:55,140 --> 00:19:58,774
It's just so cold in London this winter.

261
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,443
I think it's the coldest in 50 years.

262
00:20:01,443 --> 00:20:04,346
Thank you for the souvenir.

263
00:20:04,722 --> 00:20:06,646
Shall I open it?

264
00:20:08,669 --> 00:20:12,087
Last week's snow was amazing.

265
00:20:12,285 --> 00:20:15,392
What? Yeah. Oh, I see.

266
00:20:16,766 --> 00:20:19,880
How's it going? Have you gotten used to living here?

267
00:20:21,223 --> 00:20:22,171
Well.

268
00:20:23,178 --> 00:20:26,468
I'm sorry for troubling you to take care of her.

269
00:20:26,853 --> 00:20:29,371
I haven't taken care of her at all.

270
00:20:29,770 --> 00:20:32,371
Rather, she's been causing me a lot of trouble.

271
00:20:36,391 --> 00:20:39,048
Well, it's been 12 years since we've seen each other.

272
00:20:39,366 --> 00:20:42,555
I'm sure it won't be easy for you to get over that, but...

273
00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:47,603
That's right.

274
00:20:50,058 --> 00:20:51,893
Here are the materials from the university in London. What?

275
00:20:52,768 --> 00:20:55,164
I was planning to take Miwa with me from the start.

276
00:20:55,164 --> 00:20:58,067
You should come to London right after you graduate.

277
00:20:58,334 --> 00:21:01,075
That's impossible. Why?

278
00:21:03,052 --> 00:21:07,109
Well, that's... She said she doesn't want to.

279
00:21:07,109 --> 00:21:10,012
Don't you care about her feelings? Hm?

280
00:21:10,378 --> 00:21:13,449
Because you said you want to go to college via internal advancement,

281
00:21:13,935 --> 00:21:17,319
Dad and I gave up on taking you with us.

282
00:21:17,841 --> 00:21:21,600
But... the advancement didn't work out, did it?

283
00:21:22,674 --> 00:21:24,381
Then why?

284
00:21:31,544 --> 00:21:33,469
I want to go to a Japanese university.

285
00:21:33,636 --> 00:21:36,138
There's still the general entrance exam... Enough with the selfishness.

286
00:21:36,138 --> 00:21:39,364
Please, just wait a little longer. No.

287
00:21:39,395 --> 00:21:43,145
She's asking you this much, so listen to her!

288
00:21:43,478 --> 00:21:47,166
It's none of your business. It is. It's a big deal!

289
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:51,184
When I say no, it means no.

290
00:21:54,828 --> 00:21:55,951
I understand.

291
00:21:57,959 --> 00:22:00,763
If I fail the general entrance exam too, then I'll go to London.

292
00:22:00,962 --> 00:22:02,422
[voice in head] Wait, what are you talking about?

293
00:22:02,437 --> 00:22:05,404
[voice in head] If you don't make it, you'll have no choice, right?

294
00:22:05,436 --> 00:22:06,638
So please.

295
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:08,903
I beg you!

296
00:22:11,692 --> 00:22:12,732
That's a promise.

297
00:22:16,707 --> 00:22:20,638
What are you going to do if you fail? I'll do my best to pass.

298
00:22:21,459 --> 00:22:23,165
Why so sneaky?

299
00:22:24,199 --> 00:22:25,136
Nothing.

300
00:22:33,728 --> 00:22:37,332
I'm staying at my parents' house until the new year. Miwa, come with me.

301
00:22:37,808 --> 00:22:40,040
Please do. Shuntaro wants to meet you too.

302
00:22:41,852 --> 00:22:44,850
Sorry, I'll stay here.

303
00:22:46,115 --> 00:22:47,249
Miwa-chan...

304
00:22:48,964 --> 00:22:51,477
I'll be able to study better if I stay here.

305
00:22:53,466 --> 00:22:54,560
Yeah.

306
00:22:58,099 --> 00:22:59,830
Why did you make that promise?

307
00:23:00,385 --> 00:23:02,758
I mean, if things don't go back to the way they were...

308
00:23:03,153 --> 00:23:05,286
You're going to be taken to London.

309
00:23:06,107 --> 00:23:10,632
I know, right? Living with your ex-husband and remarried partner.

310
00:23:11,147 --> 00:23:13,402
I mean, what kind of punishment is that?

311
00:23:13,402 --> 00:23:16,305
Then why? Don't worry. I'll do my best.

312
00:23:16,687 --> 00:23:19,005
I'll probably be able to handle English literature.

313
00:23:21,708 --> 00:23:22,975
Why are you doing this...

314
00:23:25,050 --> 00:23:27,397
Because you screwed up on the written exam!

315
00:23:28,609 --> 00:23:29,414
Sorry.

316
00:23:42,689 --> 00:23:46,445
Aso-san. Are you feeling okay already?

317
00:23:47,117 --> 00:23:49,471
I'm sorry, I need to take today off.

318
00:23:50,034 --> 00:23:52,374
Please let me come back to work tomorrow.

319
00:23:52,966 --> 00:23:55,374
I'm looking forward to working with you.

320
00:23:57,885 --> 00:23:59,815
Where's Touru-kun?

321
00:24:00,259 --> 00:24:03,167
He's taking a day off today too. His exams are coming up.

322
00:24:04,151 --> 00:24:05,181
Exams...

323
00:24:07,681 --> 00:24:09,009
That's right.

324
00:24:18,217 --> 00:24:19,242
Ahh.

325
00:24:21,125 --> 00:24:23,872
I feel most at home here.

326
00:24:26,396 --> 00:24:28,314
Are you busy with your translation work?

327
00:24:29,087 --> 00:24:32,798
Ah, I think I'll stop translating now.

328
00:24:33,611 --> 00:24:34,396
Huh?

329
00:24:35,556 --> 00:24:37,889
I think I'm more suited to working at the café.

330
00:24:39,186 --> 00:24:42,296
If possible, I'd like to work here forever.

331
00:24:42,804 --> 00:24:44,793
I'd be more than happy to.

332
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,674
If it's okay with Aso-san, please stay forever.

333
00:24:49,150 --> 00:24:53,090
Oh no. I'm going to take you seriously. I'm serious.

334
00:25:05,747 --> 00:25:09,084
There are only about 9 hours left in this year.

335
00:25:09,516 --> 00:25:13,755
I'm back. I've collected various pamphlets from the university.

336
00:25:14,025 --> 00:25:16,425
I'll leave them here for you to look over.

337
00:25:16,872 --> 00:25:19,250
You're serious about applying.

338
00:25:22,049 --> 00:25:26,435
Oh, I just went to the supermarket and bought a pack of New Year snacks.

339
00:25:26,666 --> 00:25:29,354
It was expensive, but I splurged.

340
00:25:36,031 --> 00:25:38,077
(Intercom)

341
00:25:46,205 --> 00:25:48,123
I'm sorry to drop by so suddenly

342
00:25:48,123 --> 00:25:50,822
I know it's not my place to ask, but...

343
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,795
Are these all handmade?

344
00:25:54,299 --> 00:25:56,131
I'm not so confident about the black beans.

345
00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:58,880
Miwa-chan was in charge of making this every year, right?

346
00:26:05,157 --> 00:26:07,307
I'm sorry if it's not to your taste.

347
00:26:08,766 --> 00:26:12,344
Unlike Shoko-san, I don't have any talent.

348
00:26:12,946 --> 00:26:14,883
I can only do this kind of thing.

349
00:26:17,321 --> 00:26:19,109
That's not true. Eh?

350
00:26:20,093 --> 00:26:23,921
You're a perfect mother, unlike me.

351
00:26:28,087 --> 00:26:29,942
I hear it all the time from Miwa.

352
00:26:31,419 --> 00:26:33,709
She's glad she was raised by you.

353
00:26:35,053 --> 00:26:36,755
I think so too.

354
00:26:41,183 --> 00:26:42,532
That's right.

355
00:26:45,024 --> 00:26:47,927
I'm glad I'm mom's daughter.

356
00:26:49,340 --> 00:26:53,989
She's an unfit mother. She's nothing compared to my mom.

357
00:26:54,323 --> 00:26:56,289
Miwa-chan.

358
00:27:04,128 --> 00:27:07,069
I'm sorry for bothering you so suddenly.

359
00:27:07,196 --> 00:27:08,157
No problem.

360
00:27:13,189 --> 00:27:17,612
Thank you, Shoko-san. Eh?

361
00:27:18,183 --> 00:27:21,393
You didn't tell her about me, did you?

362
00:27:23,337 --> 00:27:24,327
That thing.

363
00:27:26,981 --> 00:27:27,903
That thing?

364
00:27:53,307 --> 00:27:54,788
I was prepared for it,

365
00:27:56,667 --> 00:28:00,418
when she was going to live with Shoko-san

366
00:28:01,957 --> 00:28:06,918
I was sure she would find out. I knew that day would finally come.

367
00:28:17,010 --> 00:28:26,776
{\an7}Next Episode

368
00:28:16,738 --> 00:28:18,318
I did a really bad thing.

369
00:28:18,342 --> 00:28:20,408
The one who's to blame is the mother who abandoned her daughter.

370
00:28:20,408 --> 00:28:21,884
The two of you are perfect for each other.

371
00:28:21,908 --> 00:28:23,193
I'm really sorry.

372
00:28:23,537 --> 00:28:26,183
Why didn't you take me with you back then?
