AISubs v3.7
I've decided to quit my job. I'm going to be independent.
That's amazing!
By the way, Tsutsumi, are you going to be independent?
What?
I don't know why you're asking me that...
Why do you have to hear such important things from others?!
Eri, wait!
Leave me alone.
Bank and newspaper.
I have no choice but to do it.
A fight?
Yeah.
She hasn't been back for two weeks now.
What should we do?
She asked me about my independence.
But I couldn't give her a proper answer.
She told me she didn't have a plan.
I see.
So, what should we do?
Why don't you think about it now?
About getting married or not.
I thought about it when we started dating.
But we'll talk about it later.
Not now.
Anyway, you should call her as soon as you can.
Relationships don't break that easily.
You still haven't gone home with Mr. Takuro.
I know.
The difference between when you're working and when you're resting is too intense.
The switch switch is perfect, but your usual face is too dark.
I know how you feel, but...
There's no difference between you two being independent now, right?
Isn't it about time you changed your mind?
If you're serious about it, I want to support you too, but...
Being independent...
There's someone who talked about it before me.
A woman?
Yeah...
Yeah, well...
Oh.
You were jealous of her?
Is it jealousy?
No...
Is it because she's Anna's daughter?
If you have time, it will be difficult to fix it.
You've always liked me, haven't you?
Yes.
(Jiro, I'm sorry. I'll call you later.)
Anyway, it took you a long time to decide to quit working for Jiro.
Yes.
But you know, we have a relationship with Jiro.
That's right.
I'm glad something happened again.
Sorry about that.
I hope you don't expect me to call you.
I'd like you to worry about me, too.
Mr. Nomoto.
I'm sorry.
See you later.
[Phone ringing]
Ah, hello?
- Long time no see. - Long time no see.
- How have you been? - Fine.
Thanks for contacting me.
- How's work? - It's still going.
- It's like I'm doing business instead of greeting people. - I see.
The results may not come out right away, but if you work hard, you'll get a chance someday.
I hope so.
- Keep up the good work. - Yeah.
It's about time...
I started to miss Eri's hotpot.
It can't be helped.
I did it!
What did you draw?
Ta-dah!
The shop's original character.
What do you think?
Wow!
You're good at this.
If you made a coaster or a coffee cup with this,
wouldn't it be pretty funny?
Tsutsumi, will you praise me?
(footsteps)
Erison?
Oh...
Um, I'm not really in the mood right now, but what's up?
Um, I heard you were independent.
I was working from home, and I was thinking of borrowing some cassette tape.
But if you're not here, I'll go home for the day.
Hey, since you're here, why don't you come over for a bit?
No, it's fine.
You want to borrow some tape, right?
Come in.
- Coffee? - Yes.
- No milk? - Black is fine.
I see.
It's very different from the last time I came.
- You've been here before? - Yes.
It was more like a man's room.
Things have increased a lot.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Thank you for it.
And what about the tape?
My mother's piano song was being recorded.
I wanted to let you know about it, too.
I see. Then we'll have to look for it.
This?
That's it.
Mother and Tsutsumi played a song together on that B-side.
If you record it here, you can listen to it right away.
Thank you.
- Did you turn around? - Huh?
I'm kind of nervous.
You practiced a lot, didn't you?
Yeah, but...
It's different from playing alone.
What if I mess up?
It's okay.
Let's try it first.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Thank you for watching!
I kind of envied you, Mom.
I don't know why.
Isn't it because you're in love with Takuro?
I know.
Did Tsutsumi-san find out about it too?
No, he didn't.
I've been single-minded for over 20 years,
but he didn't notice me at all.
Is that so?
Isn't it a little dull?
A dull man must be popular.
Is that so?
Um...
I'm sorry.
Huh?
Actually...
There's something I want you to see.
Kurumi-chan wrote it? Amazing!
I wanted you to praise me.
I see.
Yes.
But...
One-sided love for more than 20 years...
It's quite a rare creature, isn't it?
It's a deadly creature, isn't it?
Is that okay?
It's a deadly creature, isn't it?
Thank you very much.
Be careful.
Yes.
Um...
Eri-san and Tsutsumi-san...
I think you two look good together.
I wish you happiness.
Why?
Fufu...
A-chan here!
Nice to meet you! I'm Atsusa!
Fufu...
Nice to meet you!
My little brother's always helping me out!
Yes, yes...
Oh, by the way!
I'd like to introduce you to A-chan, but...
How about this Saturday?
How about it?
Even if you say it all of a sudden like that...
No...
We're preparing for our wedding, and everything else is scheduled for the weekend.
Huh?
Shingo?!
Huh?!
Takkun?!
It's been a while!
Huh?
Then why is Takkun at home?
Huh?!
Don't tell me you fell in love with me for the first time?!
Shut up!
Fufu...
I'm so glad!
Uh...
Oh, by the way!
Let's eat together this Saturday, Takkun!
Wait a minute!
This weekend...
I don't think we had any plans in particular.
Oh, you've decided!
I've decided, too!
I'll send you the restaurant's URL later.
See you!
Hey, wait!
Hey!
You're forcing me...
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, it was just open.
But I didn't think Shingo would get married...
I'm glad he's pretty good, too.
Come to think of it...
Have we met by chance again?
Huh?!
No... Tsutsumi...
We haven't met by chance...
I mean...
Tsutsumi has nothing to do with me anymore.
What do you mean, "anymore"?
I'm not only dating you...
I'm gay, too.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Huh...
By the way...
I've been telling you to be happy.
Kurumi, you've grown up.
Yeah.
I see.
Tsutsumi!
It's been a while.
I've been waiting for you.
I have some time after this.
I'm just handing this over.
I can see how big you are now that you're gone.
I'm not big.
I'm working hard now.
While I'm going around publishing houses to get a job, my day ends.
I see.
But I'm rooting for you.
Is everyone doing well?
Yes.
We're in charge of the new series of "Dragon World".
Wow! That's amazing!
It's getting pretty hot in the company.
I see.
Good luck.
Yes.
Hello.
Yes, thank you.
Yes.
What?
Oh, I see.
Yes.
Well, if that's the case, it can't be helped.
Yes.
If anything else happens again,
Yes, thank you.
Excuse me.
Ah...
(door opening and closing)
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Hey, throw this away.
Oh, that's Kurumi-chan's.
Huh?
You came to my house?
Yeah.
She said she wanted a cassette tape yesterday.
You could have called me.
That's what I said to her.
You could have called me when Kurumi-chan was here.
Sorry.
I had a deck, so I recorded it.
I see.
Can I have dinner in your pot?
Sure.
Oh my!
Oh, hello.
Hello.
I think you forgot this.
Thank you for coming all the way.
Not at all.
Did you have lunch?
No.
Then eat up.
But I'm off today.
It doesn't matter.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Here you go.
It looks so good!
Thank you for it.
Here you go.
(slurping)
- Mm, yum!
(laughing)
- I love Napolitan.
- I'm glad.
Anna's Piano
It's been a while since I last heard it.
Now that she's gone, I'm sure you're lonely, too, but you don't have to show me that side of you.
I wonder if I made you worry about me. I've been wondering about you all the time.
I was hoping I could find something to support your heart, but you found it for me.
No, I didn't...
Thank you for worrying about me.
If there's anything I can do for you...
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Tsutsumi...
Batting center...
Huh?
That was fun.
I did it for the first time back then.
An ex-girlfriend and her daughter batting in the same place for 20 years.
Tsutsumi, it was a strange experience for you too, wasn't it?
No...
Anna is not an ex-girlfriend, you know.
Even if it's not true, please consider her as your ex-girlfriend.
Anna won't be mad at you, will she?
On the contrary, I think she'll be happy.
Oh, and...
Even though you're an adult, you still put blue paint on your cheeks.
I didn't know that.
Anyway...
Thank you...
For everything you did for me.
Oh, it's nothing.
Oh, right!
This!
I'm glad you like it.
I was influenced by you when I was young.
I thought you might like it too.
No, I'm fine.
What?
From now on, I'll do my best on my own.
I won't contact Tsutsumi-san anymore.
Huh? Why?
If I'm in trouble, I'll rely on you right away.
It's okay for you to rely on me.
Then...
I can't grow up.
Good luck with your exam.
I will.
See you.
Kurumi.
Take care of yourself.
You too, Tsutsumi.
Be happy with Eri.
What's wrong? Why did you call me out of blue?
I don't know. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm being crushed.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I met up with A-chan at the gym.
Wow, you're healthy and nice.
Shingo, you went out a lot in the fall, didn't you?
Oh, you didn't go to train, you went to see Azusa.
Shin-chan said so.
What's wrong with training and meeting up?
No, it's not bad at all.
Isn't it?
Yeah, it's not bad at all.
Isn't it?
Yeah, it's not bad at all.
I thought you'd understand me.
It seems like there are quite a few marriages you meet up at the gym.
So when do you two do it?
Huh?
I'm your love cupid.
What do you mean?
Oh, what are you talking about?
You know, the Gacha Gacha Capsule loss incident.
Gacha Gacha?
Oh.
When I was in elementary school, I lost it as a Gacha Gacha Capsule that I cherished when I played in the river.
I was desperate that it was the end of the world, but suddenly Takkun appeared there and...
What's wrong?
I dropped it in the river...
What did you do?
I saved up money and finally bought it. It's an important one.
That's terrible.
It went into the cold river and became wet as we searched for it.
Is this it?
I found it!
I remember now!
When I opened the capsule, I saw a shark's upper body and a woman's figure's lower body.
I put it under my pillow and slept, hoping I'd have a good dream.
Hey, can I really report you?
But at that moment, you fell in love with Takkun, didn't you?
- Yeah. - Woo!
- You two are going to be a good couple. - Yeah.
- You two are both macho. - Yeah.
- Well, we're healthy. - Yeah, yeah.
- Let's watch a movie tomorrow. - Don't be late tomorrow.
I know.
- You were always late every day like that, weren't you, Takuro? - No, you were late and we ran together.
I was late because I wanted to see you, Takuro.
- Huh? Really? - Yeah.
- I thought you were weak in the morning, too. - No, I'm not.
If I like you, I'll do something stupid like that.
Hey, you know, we used to race in places like this a lot, didn't we?
- Yeah... - Ready, go!
- Huh? - Hey! Are you serious?!
I can't do it!
- I used to run every day in club activities back then, so I could climb. - You can do it!
Oh, no! I'm running out of energy!
You're running out of energy, too! It's too early for you to retire!
Too early?! Wait a minute!
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- How do you like the mission class? - It's fun!
- Right? - Yeah, but we fight a lot, too.
- Huh? - Takuro comes out of the bath without wiping his body.
He says, "Stop it," because the floor mat gets wet, but it doesn't fix it.
I'm sorry about that! It's been a habit of mine for many years.
And he tells me "what if" stories before he goes to bed.
Like, "what would you buy if you won 100 million yen?" or "what would you do if you could time travel?"
- Isn't that fun? - No, it's not fun!
Every time you say "what if," it ends!
- You haven't changed. - Well, I've always been like this.
- I thought you and her would have a different relationship by now. - It doesn't change anything!
Eri and I are like air.
It's easier when I'm with Eri.
- I'm sorry, Master! I spilled it! - It's fine!
What do you mean by "feeling like air"?
It means that you don't have to be conscious of it.
Has it been like that for a long time?
Yeah.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be together in such a long time.
I see.
Thank you for today.
Hey...
Earlier you said you didn't have to be conscious of me...
Do you still feel that way?
And I will...
continue to do so.
It's hot.
You know...
There's a place I want to go.
Yeah.
I want to go there.
The air in the local area is really good.
It's been a while since I spent time like this with Eri.
Well, it's more difficult than I thought to be independent, but I think I can do it somehow.
It's a small project, but I'm starting to get a job.
I think I'll calm down in a little while.
Then why don't you go on a trip?
I've never been to Hokkaido.
You know, that thing that spins around in a rental car.
I'd like to try that.
It's okay in the south, isn't it?
Riding a kayak or something.
Agh!
Let's end this.
Huh?
For 25 years, I've been single-minded.
But I realized I wasn't meant for you.
What do you mean?
Did you like me?
Do you remember calling me here after the graduation ceremony of high school?
Yeah.
I was going to confess at that time.
I couldn't do it in the end because I was afraid that our relationship would change.
But now...
It's painful that it doesn't change.
Eri...
I...
I want to live with someone who acknowledges me.
I acknowledge you!
What do you mean by "boyfriend"?
Eri, wait a minute.
Can't we just think like we did before?
You know...
I...
I've never thought of you...
As a friend...
Even once.
What?
So...
It's too late for us to be friends.
But...
But you know...
I...
Whether you're here or not, it doesn't matter.
I don't want to be like air.
Even if it's someone I've always liked.
Goodbye,
Takuro.

Takuro!
Welcome back!
I'm back!
I finished early!
I'm glad.
I'm tired.
Me too. Let's go eat.
Yeah!
Hey, look at this. Isn't it cute?
Yeah, it's cute.
Isn't it cute?
I don't have a pot, but...
That's fine.
It might give off a bad vibe.
Yeah, let's go.
Yay!
I wonder what we'll actually use it for.
It's surprisingly quick to run out of it.
No, I don't think we'll run out of it.
Huh?
Yeah, it's really quick.
I want it for two days.
What are you going to do in high school?
Have you decided yet?
Tennis player!
Ah, tennis player.
She's saying it.
She's saying it?
Then, I'd like to do something like wrestling.
That's right.
There she is!
Kurumi!
Tsutsumi...
Kurumi?
I feel like I'm being left behind by the times.
I feel like I'm stuck.
Be in a proper relationship.
A normal relationship.
I can't forget that time!
I like you, Tsutsumi.
