Eh? Alice-chan?
You're extremely lucky in love, aren't you?
- This line? - Yes, yes, yes, that line.
Eh, and, you know, this...
Here, here, you have a lot of lines.
And this longest line here
is from when you were 2-3 years old.
Here.
You know what the longest line means?
- You think that I already met him? Really? - Yes, you already met him...
- Wow! - That's insane!
Hey, you're both messing around and flirting!
Ah...
I don't think my body can take it anymore.
The last three consecutive holidays went by in seconds.
I know, I know.
It's better to make it a 5 consecutive holidays.
You're an adult now, so shut up and work.
Calm down!
At this rate, you'll fall into despair.
Anyway, just calm down!
Well, well.
This is what adults are like these days.
Ah... Ah.
It's the end of the world.
I don't think about anything I don't like while I'm writing my fantasies in this notebook.
Escape from reality is the strongest and the best thing.
Run away! Just run away to your world of delusion!
Now, the heroine who's allowed to run wild in my mind this time is...
Ohara Sakurako
Nakano Taiga
Nakajo Ayami
Yoshine Kyoko
Mori Nana
Iitoyo Marie
Yamamoto Maika
Otomo Karen
Shiraishi Sei
Sayashi Riho
Ikeda Elaiza
____Ohara Sakurako__
__Episode 5 Heroine____
I had a dream of that girl。
Inflating a bubble gum in the city.
That girl was bouncing around like that.
Amazing, isn't it?
Yes.
I still don't know her.
That girl and I were bouncing around the city
with our bubble gum inflated.
It'll be a little while
before I hear the sound
of her bubble gum popping.
I'm sorry.
Eh?
I'm sorry.
I apologized.
It's always been this way.
I'll just swallow what I have to say and lose.
Yamasato.
You didn't fix the error in here.
You're in charge of this, right?
I'm not in charge of that.
Eh?
If I hadn't noticed, I would've sent it to them.
I'm sorry.
I'm not...
Yamasato is not in charge of that.
You passed it on to Goto-san last week.
Ah. Is that so?
Yes.
Then tell me quickly.
He doesn't know who I am.
How'd the contract go last time?
Ah, not good at all.
Give me a break!
- Seriously. - That sucks.
I'm pretty sure that's yours from yesterday, right?
- That's not mine. - No, no. It's yours.
Ah... I'm so angry...
Seriously?
What is it now?
Why is there gum here?
Huh?
Eh?
What is this...
No, I'm...
Oh, no, no, no.
I need to stay out of it.
Huh?
Why did I come here?
Wait, has she been there for a while?
Oh, well.
Nevermind.
Great job today.
- Great job today as well. - I'm starving.
What will you have today?
No, no. Eh?
Can he not see me?
W... What's in there? What's in there?
- Goya Chanpuru. - Eh? That's great.
It's her again.
You're blocking the way.
Wait, how well coordinated are they?
How long have they been working on this defense?
Ah... Come on.
I started seeing her at times
when I get these feelings.
But I won't know who she really is for a little while longer.
But first,
I'd like to tell you about Sakuma.
Sakuma-chan, can you do something about that Buddha app?
No, it's impossible.
I won't make it on time.
No, it's doable.
- No, it's really hard. I'm sorry. - Sakuma-chan.
It all started with this conversation.
You're not so flexible with work, huh?
What's going on?
The project that's due next month,
they asked for it to be moved next week.
Well, I declined, but...
I think you can manage it. It's just a week or so, right?
No, then the quality will drop.
It's definitely gonna drop.
It's your job to make something good in a limited amount of time.
No, but...
Don't just take the easy way.
Eh?
But I'm not in charge of that...
Here.
Brought you something.
Pizza? Really?
I can help you.
Really? Are you sure?
- And this. - Wow, thanks.
You see this, can't you switch to this one?
No, if you change this,
you have to change this one as well.
I see.
For now, here's the system.
This is going to take awhile.
Yes.
Well, I think we can manage it.
- We can manage. - Yes.
Still, Sakuma was able to meet the deadline.
But...
Great work today.
Ah, Yamasato.
Y... Yes?
Get this done before the end of the day.
Before the end of the day?
Eh?
And the timing for it.
And this is next week's meeting material.
Does he want it done today?
I have to say it.
Properly right now.
Or else...
Hurry up.
Yes.
Yes?
Eh? System error?
No, that would not be possible... Yes.
I'm sorry, but I'll have to check it out immediately.
What are you going to do?
This is all about trust in our company.
You said you'd be okay with this deadline, didn't you?
No, but that's because you, Ichii-san...
Don't get me involved in this.
If you have time to blame others,
Why don't you go bow to the sales department for causing all this trouble?
I have to say it...
But...
I'm sorry.
In the end, I couldn't say it,
so it became Sakuma's fault.
I know you're not happy, but it's for the sake of the company.
Work with him on this.
I am humbly ask for your help.
I have to say it...
We're nowhere near to finishing this. How about you?
It's absolutely impossible.
If he knew it was impossible, he should've said no to the deadline from the start.
I feel sorry for him,
But it's impossible.
Why did we agree to do this?
I have to say it...
But I can't convey it.
Okay. There's no problem.
I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time.
Hey!
Why are you acting like this is someone else's problem?
Once again, I apologize.
No, please don't do that.
I accelerated the delivery,
Error after delivery is much worse, isn't it?
I have to say it...
I have to say it... I have to say it...
Umm...
What is it?
Well...
If you have something to say, say it out loud.
It's nothing.
Now, now, now.
Please be careful in the future, Sakuma-san.
Then I have to go apologize to them.
Thank you very much for understanding.
I have to say it...
I have to say it!
I couldn't say it.
I'm sorry.
I even apologized for that.
Yamasato! You didn't fix the error in here.
I'm not in charge of that.
Great job today as well.
Can he not see me?
I couldn't say it.
You're blocking the way.
I have to say it.
I couldn't say it.
They project that's due next month...
No, then the quality will drop.
It's definitely gonna drop.
I have to say it.
System error?
I have to say it.
I couldn't say it.
I have to say it.
I couldn't say it.
I have to say it.
But... I couldn't say it.
If you have time to blame others...
I am humbly ask for your help.
I couldn't say it.
If he knew it was impossible, he should've said no...
I couldn't say it. I have to say it.
Error after delivery is much worse, isn't it?
If you have something to say, say it out loud.
I couldn't say it.
I couldn't say it!
You've swallowed all the bad stuff, haven't you?
Eh?
You have something to say, don't you?
Then you can have this.
You've swallowed all the bad stuff, haven't you?
Eh?
You have something to say, don't you?
Then you can have this.
It was so Haruhi.
Seriously? It really sucked.
I can't keep up with you.
- Hey, now that you mention it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I heard that Onishi-san and Takagi-san are dating.
Eh, really? That's gross!
Takagi-san?
Eh! That's so gross.
Hey! Look at this!
I was passing by when I heard them saying "gross",
I wanted to say it but I remember they would drag me for 1 week.
Have some balls to say it!
Gross!
That's heavy.
That's right.
She even brags about it.
I had a great time on our date.
I enjoyed spending time with you, Princess Mako.
I'm glad!
What do you want to eat today?
Do not flirt in the street!
There's more, right? Those dark "GACK" feelings you've been piling up.
I can't tell you why I'm in a bad mood. Don't.
It's okay. It's okay. Just go for it.
Do you know what I'm angry about? You don't know!
Go for it. Go for it.
- When showing pictures on your phone. - Yes?
Don't just slide into another picture instead of trying to look at it!
Wait a minute!
Right?
When the gum pops, all the bad feelings you've been holding back are gone, right?
Eh?
When I blow up my bubble gum and it pops,
all the nasty things will spread around the world.
Then you'll be able to say the things you want to say.
What do you mean by that?
Then...
A three-day holiday was over in a matter of seconds!
Make it a five-day holiday!
Just give me two weeks off!
And deal with the feeling of despair over that consecutive holidays.
Even on Sunday, you're gonna be working the next day, so you're gonna be depressed.
You're only invincible on Saturdays!
I need at least
10 more minutes of sleep every morning!
You see?
They flew away, didn't they?
Yes.
I can say what I thought I'd say in front of you.
Not just in front of me,
you have to say it properly or it's useless.
Then what will happen to you?
Are you going to leave?
What do you think?
Eh? You're in charge of it?
Yes.
For now, whatever it is you're working on, just get rid of it.
No. Why is that?
I don't know what else to say.
The sales department said they didn't want to leave it to you anymore.
No, they can't.
Anyway, go help out the other members.
I don't have a choice.
It's your fault. You're responsible for it.
Come on. Get out of here.
No.
I don't think so.
Huh?
You know, that time...
When the sales department asked for an earlier delivery date,
Sakuma declined.
The person who forced him to do that...
is you, Ichii-san.
What are you talking about?
It's strange that Sakuma was removed from that project.
So please take it back.
- Take it back or not, this is the sales department.... - So you have to take it from him?
And you, who betrayed Sakuma...
And you guys for believing it and talking behind his back...
I hated it.
But most of all...
I hate myself.
I was the only one who knew,
and I didn't say anything.
I pretended not to see it and deserted Sakuma.
Sakuma wouldn't
betray anyone just to protect himself.
He doesn't make excuses
or blame the person who betrayed him.
Unlike me,
he's good at what he does.
I think there's plenty more
people to blame.
Excuse me.
Ah...
What do I do?
Thanks for what you did.
It's my pleasure.
I know you can do it.
Ah!
Whimsical pasta
or Rachan set meal.
Rachan would be great.
Great work today...
Um...
there's a line.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey.
Well, hang in there.
Hang in there.
