It's started. The Yamamoto family's prestige is on the line.
Yamamoto Family Brother against brother: Quick quiz~!
First question.
Hayami Honoka and Yamamoto Chihiro have been dating steadily so far. The impossible trouble they experienced the other day is...
‎ Q‎ ‎
‎ N‎ ‎
Yes, Masami, that was fast.
For some reason, a man who is not Chihiro...
went to her parents' house as Hayami's boyfriend!
Pam-pada-pum!
Congratulations on your serious relationship!
Wrong.
What?
The most common problem that this couple has had as a result is...‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎
‎ Q‎ ‎
‎ N‎ ‎
Yes, Kaoru.
The question of who likes the other more arose, didn't it?
I won't say it's all about me anymore.
I love you more.
I may not look like it, but...
I lo... lov... love you...
Because I love you.
Wrong!
Again?
What was the last surprising action taken by Honoka, ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ who felt that her love was not being conveyed?
‎ Q‎ ‎
‎ N‎ ‎
Answer
Senpai?
I don't care who loves who more.
It doesn't matter who wins.
But I really want you to feel it, Chihiro.
That you are loved.
I understand.
I've already felt loved plenty. I'm fine.
But, I haven't done anything yet.
No, I'm really, really fine.
No, no, no, don't be mistaken.
It's not that I don't like kissing my senpai or anything. It's not like that.
Then why?
Because... Senpai, how prepared are you for this situation?
Sorry.
Yamamoto Chihiro

Hayami Honoka
Raccoon Electronics Sales
Right?
No, It's okay. It's okay.
I don't want to be the horrible guy to force it on you even if you don't want to. Not again.
No...it's not that.
- I did have that intention. - Eh?
No, I'm just trying to imagine it more specifically.
I thought it'd be embarrassing at home.
I don't know. Is it because we've lived together before we started going out?
The sense of living together is too vivid.
And switching over from daily life is...
Oh. Is it just me?
Oh..... Give me a break...
This really sneaked up on us.
Uhm...
Did you really feel it earlier? Being loved.
Yes.
...That was I said that.
Seems like we can't do it at home anymore.
Wait, but if we can't do it at home, then outside?
Outdoors? That's even more embarrassing isn't it?
Then a hotel?
The problem with a hotel would make it seem too eager.
Eh? What about...
Mr. Koga!
Koga Iori
Raccoon Electronics Sales
Oh, uh no... that was just....
Don't worry. I'll pretend I didn't hear it.
I'm sorry.
No, really. I've caused you nothing but trouble...
Ms. Hayami, I'd...
like to talk with you some more...
Uhm, I'm asking this without any deeper meaning, but....
What do you think
about Hayami-senpai?
What do I think....
Ah, it's okay after all. Sorry.
What?
I'm really, really fine.
- I see. Then I'll be going. - Okay.
Yamamoto-kun.
You must respect the feelings of the other person the most.
Yes.
Cool! That's Mr. Koga for you. No doubt.
Do you think so?
Kasuga Ryo
Raccoon Electronics Sales
I don't think so! How long have you been here?
I just came.
The Chief told me to pass these out to everyone.
Oh.
An in-house competition for a new product.
I want to solicit ideas for a new product from employees regardless of department.
Sasaki Katsunori
Raccoon Electronics Sales Chief
I see.
The prize for the winner is quite extravagant.
A pair of tickets to Okinawa.
Wow. That's extravagant.
It seems like Yamamoto is going all out.
What? Yamamoto-kun?
When I gave this to him, the color of his eyes changed.
He actually wanted to be in the Planning and Development Department when he joined the company.
Oh?
That's good of Yamamoto-kun.
It's his dream to be transferred to the Planning and Development Department,
- I wished him the best of luck. - Right.
Akamine Reina
Raccoon Electronics HR
What? Yamamoto-san's aiming for a trip to Okinawa with Ms. Honoka?
Raccoon Electronics Sales
Hanazuma Ran
That's right. I heard them talking about his dream of to get into product development.
Yamamoto-kun's real goal is definitely a trip to Okinawa with Hayami-san!
That's...
This time he's a true pervert!
That means he really gets excited in bed!
But wait a minute. We no longer have the right to stop them.
Those comments are a disgrace to those in love.
Didn't you decide to do your best to make Hayami fall in love with you someday?
H-how did you know that...
There's nothing I don't know about Ms. Hayami.
Amazing OG fan!
Anyway, let's get it out there!
We're competing too!
I see! In other words...
I'm the one who's going to win the competition and go on the Okinawa trip with Ms. Hayami!
Or me!
Otherwise, it's...
Mr. Koga! It's you!
What?
Are you sure about this , Mr. Koga?
If we don't do anything, those two will be wearing Okinawa souvenir T-shirts working as a pair.
They'll become a lovey-dovey couple!
Well... I might not like that.
That's why you should join the competition too, Mr. Koga.
Well... I was planning to submit in the first place.
Oh, is that right?
The head of the Planning and Development Department asked me directly.
I couldn't say no.
Directly from the Planning and Development Department?
As expected of you, Mr. Koga!
Your defeat is now assured, Yamamoto-kun.
Ms. Akamine, isn't it time to do some serious work?
I totally had no idea you were interested in product development.
No. I haven't done much in sales yet,
so I thought this isn't the time to be talking about dreams like that.
But this time, it's a great opportunity.
Yeah, I think so too.
You're not going to enter the competition?
Uh, but I much prefer to do sales work.
Yeah.
How do I say it? I can't make 1 out of 0 but...
I'm trying my best to convey the goodness of that 1 to customers.
And the people who use the products,
and they give feedback... what was 1 may become 2 or 3.
That makes me happy.
Senpai is amazing after all.
If I can sell the product that Yamamoto-kun developed, that would be the best.
Then, I'll have to work hard.
Yeah, I'll be rooting for you.
Then, let me take the folded towels.
Yeah, thanks.
I bought it, but I haven't used it yet, the chilli paste.
Hmm?
Socks that are under the sofa.
I need to accumulate more points on my card!
Is that a magical spell?
I'm trying to calm myself down with daily living things.
This is our house!
Oh, no, if that's the case... I don't mind...
Senpai.
I'll win the competition for sure.
Let's definitely go together. Okinawa!
Yes.
Mr. Bride
Yamamoto is definitely determined to make the first time happen in Okinawa.
Takahashi Kimiko
Honokas friend
Right? I don't know why I said that.
What do you mean? You said it's impossible for you at home...
Yet about you being frustrated?
I'm not saying that. I'm saying that Yamamoto-kun thinks about me too much!
Oh, you're bragging about him. - No that's not it.
I think you're probably right.
I'm finally glad you're aware of it.
I want Yamamoto-kun to focus on his own goals.
Or rather, it's time that I should let him.
I think it's time for me to help Yamamoto-kun. As his girlfriend.
Hmm~.
If that's the case, isn't there one more thing you can do for Yamamoto-kun?
What?
Good morning, Yamamoto-kun.
Good morning. Eh? What are you doing?
Yamamoto-kun, you have a regular sales job but you're also doing the housework properly.
You don't have time to think about the competition, right?
That's why I thought I'd take care of the housework.
No, uh, but...
Don't worry. Don't worry. If you're not particular about the taste, I can make a simple one.
Rest assured, you can focus on the competition.
Yes. But, it's just that...
Eh?
The eggs are burnt to a crisp!
Wah! Oh, no, no, no, no...
- Oh, yes, yes. - What should I do?
In the end, he made the whole thing all over again.
What? Are you sure? You're okay with that?
Of course. Please share it with everyone.
This is definitely the good stuff.
Oh... Would you like to try some, Hayamin?
I'm Miyashita Saori, a culinary researcher.
Ms. Miyashita's recipe videos that she has online are very popular.
Her ideas are innovative.
I'm going to make double potato croquettes using potato chips as the batter.
Isn't it amazing?
The idea of covering potato with potato.
It sure looks really delicious.
So next time we're planning to use Ms. Miyashita's idea
for our next sales promotion event for our microwave oven.
- I see. - Oh, something smells delicious.
Hey, Yamamoto, have some too.
What? Is it okay?
Please have....
Chihiro-kun?
Saori?
- Ahahaha... Long time no see. - Ah.
Umm... I wonder which one is better.
So, Yamamoto-kun.
I wasn't able to ask you properly today.
How are you and Ms. Miyashita...?
When we were in college, we were acquaintances?
Acquaintance?
We were classmates...
Classmates.
I'm sorry, she's my ex-girlfriend.
I know, right? I had a feeling.
But that's not it. We were together for a moment.
She said she didn't want two moms, so she dumped me.
... "I don't need two moms" and dumped him.
- Oh... - No, but...
I totally had no idea she was famous for her recipe videos.
Hmph!
By the way, let me clean up after you're done.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
I can't cook but let me at least do this.
Saying like that, please don't break the dishes.
I'm not that careless...
See, what did I say.
Wait.... aaah....
I'll go get the cleaning equipment, don't touch anything.
It's dangerous.
- Yes. - Okay.
When I came back, the breaker somehow tripped.
All the contents of the freezer had been defrosted naturally.
I used all of the thawed food.
To make a week's worth of leftovers...
I'm sure a girlfriend like her would be able to help properly...
I'll do my best. Shall we add broccoli too?
Ms. Miyashita?
Ms. Hayami.
I've come up with a few recipe ideas. I thought I'd ask for Kasuga's opinion.
Eh, that's amazing!
So many in one day...
You see...
Anyone can publish their recipes on social networking sites.
So culinary researchers have to play with ideas.
I see.
I'm not sure I have it all together yet and I'm not confident.
I'm still struggling with it.
But with so many suggestions available
they're very helpful for a sales representative like me.
I'm sure Kasuga will be pleased too.
- Uhm... - Yes.
If I'm wrong about this, I'm really sorry.
By any chance... are you and Chihiro dating?
Eh? What? How did you...
I actually saw the how the food in your bento box was spread out yesterday.
And the way it looked, it felt familiar.
Ahaha... Is that right?
But, I don't mean anything by it.
I simply thought you two are a perfect match.
I'm sorry for bringing this up so suddenly.
No problem...
Well, I mean, it's not that we're a good match,
but he's more like the person in charge of taking care of me
and I'm in charge of causing him trouble.
In charge of causing trouble?
Ah...it's nothing. I'm sorry.
- Then, I'm going now. - Oh, okay.
She's a hard worker and a good cook. She has a good personality.
Why did you let such a good girl go, Yamamoto-kun?
Comparing yourself with an ex-girlfriend is a waste of time, stop it.
But it turned out that as a girlfriend, I couldn't help Yamamoto-kun at all.
Well...if you can't help him as his so-called girlfriend,
As his husband, why don't you think about what you can do for Yamamoto-kun?
As a husband?
Ummm... it's no good...
Hot spring? Why all of a sudden?
Rather than thinking about ideas all the time.
They will come out much easier if you're relaxed.
Oh~.
Eh? Did you hear that from someone?
Ah...yeah. A little bit.
And I thought it's a husband's duty to relieve the wife of daily tiredness.
I understand!
Then thank you. I'll be happy to go.
Really? Oh, good.
Then, Bon Appétit.
It's just that...
That also means it won't be at home, right?
Hmm?
Oh, no.
Then let's go.
Okay.
Akamine? What are you doing here?
I got information that Hayami and Yamamoto are going on a romantic hot springs trip.
It's easier for me to get it than knowing tomorrow's weather.
What's that? That's too scary.
Ah! Don't tell me you're planning to stay at the same inn?
I'm telling you, while you're in the hot spring having dirty thoughts,
I'll come up with a new product that will win the competition.
Akamine, you're going to enter too? The competition?
Yes.
Hanazuma-kun, the boy who's always in love, is very motivated.
Oh, and Mr. Koga is entering too.
What? Mr. Koga too?
I'm going back to Tokyo right away to design a product.
Do your best, or you are going to lose what you really want,
because of the temptation in front of you, right~?
Wait Akamine.
What is it?
If you insist that much, I've made a resolution too.
Eh~. What resolution?
Today, I'm definitely not going to touch Hayami!
You said that.
I'll have what you just said tattooed on your forehead!
That's what I want!
Wow. It's pretty spacious.
Why are the futons prepared already?
Ah, I made a request to the innkeeper.
Yamamoto-kun, I thought it'd be better if you could take a break anytime.
Break...
What?
What's this, senpai?
See? Isn't it nice? A room with an open-air bath.
I thought it would be more relaxing.
Relaxing in the open-air bath in the room...
No good...
All these words sound so indecent right now.
What's wrong?
Let's take a bath at the big bath outside.
I'm the type of person who likes to stretch out in a big pool.
- Right? - I see.
My legs are tired after a lot of walking.
Okay, let's go take a bath right away!
All right! It's done.
How about this? "Fully Automatic Housework Machine"! ...and a sample.
- What's that? - Just as the name says.
Of course it's a machine that does all the housework automatically.
That's impossible.
Then what do you have?
Hanazuma Voice Appliance?
"The air is stuffy."
"Don't forget to close the door." "Dinner's ready."
What's this?
That's why the voice announcements on home appliances
will all be changed to my cute voice.
No way, no way! It's absolutely impossible to win with that!
Eh~...
If this happens...
Why am I... here?
By the way, Mr. Koga, what are you proposing?
Oh.
This is what I have.
- An electric cart? - That's right.
Sometimes old people ride them on the street, like electric wheelchairs.
Japan's population is aging. I think the demand for them will increase more and more.
Eventually, I'm also going to propose
to expand the scale of business.
The persuasive power is totally different from ours.
Watch out Yamamoto-kun!
While you're in a hot spring with dirty thoughts,
Mr. Koga will snatched the championship and Ms. Hayami!
Dirty thoughts?
He went on a hot springs trip with Ms. Hayami even though he hasn't planned to do it yet.
What?
But Ms. Akamine made sure to warn him. I'm sure he won't do that.
That's right. He declared he wouldn't touch her.
Maybe the hot spring was not a good idea after all...
If you're going to the hot springs, make sure you're properly prepared.
Honoka, you're older than him after all.
- Hmm? - Because...
Because being at a hot spring takes away the problem of being shy at home.
That won't happen! Because... because... this time, the hot spring,
is for Yamamoto-kun to come up with a good design.
But you wants Yamamoto-kun to focus on his goal, right?
- Well... - Then this is a good opportunity.
Besides... Yamamoto-kun may start to come up with some other "good ideas".
You say that so easily...
But I'm not joking or anything.
If the feeling is mutual,
then it doesn't matter where, when, or what, right?
Well, if that's the case...
Yamamoto-kun and my feelings are all in one place, right?
Yeah.
Hmm?
Ms. Hayami-san is going to Okinawa with Mr. Koga for sure!
Yamamoto-kun, you dirty fellow,
I'm attaching Mr. Koga's materials for the competition.
"Ms. Hayami-san is going to Okinawa
with Mr. Koga for sure!"
Wow.
Ah~ there's no way I can do it like this!
Sorry I'm late.
It's totally fi...
Here, I've got something for you.
Energy drinks.
I think you'll need something like this to help you concentrate.
But I didn't know which one was good so I just bought everything.
Ah~ I see. Thank you.
No. No. No. This is the least I can do for you.
This is the only thing I can think of.
Serpent Gold
"Pit Viper, Cobra"?
Fill your passion! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎Overflow!‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Male confidence!
This is the wrong kind of energy to use.
- Huh? - No... uhh...
I think I won't drink this for now.
- I'm very energetic already. - Okay.
Eh? No, rather, how did you get so energetic all of a sudden?
- No, no, no. - You should definitely take it.
Out of all of them, that one? Ah!
- What? - Oh, I'm really fine.
Besides, I've already come up with a design.
Oh, I see.
I was thinking about a refrigerator with an emergency power supply.
Emergency power source?
See, the trouble with power outages is that the refrigerator stops working, right?
In that case, if a part of the refrigerator is operated by battery, that would ease people's minds.
I see.
When I came back, the breaker somehow tripped.
All the contents of the freezer had been defrosted naturally.
I s-see...
Hmm...
I think that's fine.
It's really thanks to you, senpai for taking me to the hot spring.
Thank you.
I didn't do anything.
Or rather, everything is all thanks to Ms. Miyashita.
Eh? Why Saori?
Ah... That's the thing, right?
Anyway, you're going to be up all night putting together a proposal, right?
Then drink this, since it's already opened.
- Oh, that's not... - No, no, no.
This is the only way I can be of help.
I said I don't need it!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
- Stop! - Eh?
Oh, no, how should I put it...
You don't have to do anything anymore, senpai.
Eh? But...
I'm really fine. Really!
I'm sorry. I'm going going to get some fresh air.
Eh?
What am I doing?
Hello. Sorry for calling you all of a sudden.
No. What's wrong?
I can't get through to Ms. Hayami's phone.
I forgot that I had a discount coupon for the inn.
Eh? What is it Saori? What do you mean?
Didn't Ms. Hayami tell you?
I'm the one who recommended the hot springs you're staying at today.
What?
I got a call from Ms. Hayami the other day.
Ummm... it's no good...
Hello. Is this Ms. Miyashita? Sorry for calling you all of a sudden.
Can I ask you something...
So she asked me when do I come up with ideas for recipes?
I told her that I get the most ideas when I'm relaxing at the hot spring there.
That's why it was so sudden...
But she's amazing, going that far for her boyfriend.
I was concerned when Ms. Hayami said she was in charge of causing trouble.
What?
But even so she's thinking of all kinds of things and not giving up.
Chihiro-kun, you are really important to Ms. Hayami after all.
I'd better get going. I'll message you the coupon.
- Yeah, thank you. - Alright.
Senpai.
Yamamoto-kun...
Sorry I'm late.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I'm the one who left you.
I'm sorry.
Somehow, I just felt sorry for myself.
Even though I tried to help you.
All I do is cause trouble.
I'm not troubled by you.
But I'm...
trying to let you seriously think about the competition.
And yet, I'm thinking of all these strange thoughts by myself.
Strange thoughts?
You know...
we're at a hot spring.
It's not home.
Well...
Are you talking about what I said about being embarrassed at home?
Ah, uhm, but...
You didn't mean to do that today, I know that very well now.
- It's okay. - No.
Actually, today...
I decided on my own not to touch you, senpai.
And there are others
besides me who really want to go to Okinawa with you.
So I had to come up with a good design for sure.
But...
The destructive force of Senpai in a yukata is just too powerful.
I thought it over, this is a hot springs date.
That's why, I'm really
at my wits end.
That's why, if I hurt your feelings,
I'm really sorry.
Uhm...
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
I'm really happy these days.
There are times when I feel rushed or in a daze,
but just being with my senpai
fills my heart with contentment.
But you know...
If...
you really
want to get closer to me.
Or if I'm not doing enough for you today.
If that's what you think...
then, it's the same as me.
Yamamoto-kun...
So...
If you don't mind...
Let's go back to the room, senpai.
What you like,
or what you don't like...
Please tell me all about it.
I...
want to know everything.
Yes.
Also, today...
I know this is really important...
but I'm sorry if I can't do it.
Yamamoto-kun...
That's...
Yes.
That's...
something I should be saying.
What?
Because, I'm older than you.
From my standpoint, I'm supposed to love you.
Love me?
No. That's...
That's my role regardless of age.
But I'm...
your husband before I'm your girlfriend.
If you say that...
I'm your boyfriend as well as your wife.
Hey, what kind of conversation is this?
Indeed.
You know, Yamamoto-kun.
Yes.
Let's do it together.
Wife or husband...
Boyfriend or girlfriend.
Older or younger.
That kind of thing, maybe doesn't really matter now.
What you like,
or don't like.
I want to know everything too.
So...
let's do it together.
Just the two of us.
Yes.
Today, I'm definitely not going to touch Hayami!
When did you make this? This tattoo sticker.
It's done! My best design to date!
Whole family task sharing app
I have to email it to Ms. Hayami right away.
What? You shouldn't do that. It's already late.
It's 0:07 a.m.? That means...
In any case, "today" is over...
That reason is no longer valid~!
Whatever the case may be, don't interfere.
Mr. Koga, don't you want to stop the relationship between those two?
Well...
maybe I'll be the one to stop it in the end.
Ah~ I'm getting nervous.
Don't worry.
A refrigerator with an emergency power supply. I think it's a good idea.
Actually, I gave up on that.
What?
Thanks to you, senpai.
I came up with something more our style.
Our?
Please take a look at this if you'd like.
- Okay. - Then, I'm off now.
"Handy Cleaner - Integrated vacuum cleaner."
Handy Cleaner - Integrated vacuum cleaner
―Proposal for a new style of cleaning―
"I'm proposing a stick-type vacuum cleaner
and a handheld cleaner as part of a set.
"Conventional products are designed with the assumption
that only one person uses the vacuum cleaner when cleaning."
"That's why cleaning has become a one-person job."
With this product, however,
the vacuum cleaner and handy cleaner can be used by two people at the same time.
Cleaning is not a one-person job.
I think it can be made into something that can be done with someone else.
What? None of the proposals were accepted?
No prize trip to Okinawa either?
Well, I guess so.
- No way... - Well, well, don't say that.
- I'm sorry, Yamamoto-kun. - No, no, it's okay.
This time round, I gained a little confidence.
I'll take this as a start to do my best.
Mr. Koga?
Oh, Ms. Hayami.
- You're going out now? - Yes, just one more.
Too bad about the competition.
Well, I had a feeling this would happen.
After all, big companies have a lot of obligations.
That's right.
It would be better if things could be more open.
If you want to go outside,
to feel the fresh air.
Eh?
Ms. Hayami...
Oh, it's Yamamoto-kun.
Yes. What's wrong?
Senpai, for dinner tonight.
To celebrate the end of the competition, can I buy expensive meat?
Yeah, of course.
I'll be home as soon as I can. See you.
- I'll make a move, then. - Okay.
Yes.
Yes, I'm fine.
I've already decided who I want to take there.
