Reiko, you are very special to me.
I'd like to have dinner with you sometime
and we can talk about it.
Umm... Yes!
Great, I'll be in touch then.
I look forward to it.
Indeed the habit of walking and working is good for the health.
Why sit idly about, after all?
It is a sin to bring trouble to others.
Why should I borrow another’s strength?
So too with food and clothing.
Be it robe of vine fibre or hempen quilt,
I cover myself in whatever comes to hand,
and keep myself alive with wild asters from the fields and nuts from the mountains.
Since I do not mix with others, shame causes me no regrets.
Hmm...
- Geez, what is it? Responsible for what? - Hurry, hurry.
What am I responsible for?
Hey, girls. Sorry to keep you waiting. This is Saruwatari Keita-san.
- Hello. - Ah, Congratulations on your wedding.
Congratulations.
So, about marriage...
Hello. Is this a good spot?
Nice to meet you... I'm Saruwatari Keita.
Would you like something to drink?
You! You've finally shown your true colors.
- Thank you. See you! - That's great, Ren.
Did you have fun, Ren?
Yes.
Mama, I wanna look for Battle Spirits!
Mama will have a tea in a cafe nearby and tell
Papa there's a lesson in hour, okay? - Yes.
See you later.
What do I do? I saw his family.
I'll be in touch.
I made reservation. At the 17th 7:00 p.m.. Quintessence.
I understand. I look forward to it.
Thank you very much.
Huh? Maybe
I should have replied with a stamp?
But it's been one night already.
I can't just send another stamp... Would that be too much?
Should I?
Should I not?
Kuki-san, is something bugging you? Are you okay?
- Kuki-san! - Yes?
Ah, ah, ah!
Kuki-san, have been acting strange lately, isn't she?
Something happened since she became Saruwatari-san's trainer.
She's starting to look a little more human.
He already read it...
You don't look so good. Are you feeling sick?
Well, Maria, you see,
apparently she broke off her marriage to that boss,
but she bragged to her juniors about getting married
and now she wants me to marry her instead.
For that...
Congratulations. - Congrats!?
Good for you, isn't it?
Because Saruwatari-san seems to have some lingering feelings for Maria-san
and I'm Maria-san is too... - No, I don't.
I don't at all. I'm just being used.
That's not love, right?
- You're surprisingly sensitive, aren't you? - Right?
I'm very sensitive about that.
To begin with, love and marriage are two different things.
Is that so!?
Yes, everyone can fall in love every day, but marriage is
about one person for life,
If it was meant to be....
"Thundering Crack!"
Like a bolt of lightning that strikes you, right?
- I don't understand. - Yes.
I don't know either, that is why I'm 33 and single.
- What is this? - Ah, ah!
Oh, that's cute.
Fashion edition?
On my first date with Saotome-san.
Fashion Edition
You're way too enthusiastic!
I like that person...
We're going to dinner together.
It's my first time.
Good for you.
Your 15 years of unrequited love.
It finally paid off.
I hope Saotome-san is the one.
Me too.
Yes, that's right...
Your first date with Saotome-san.
Gaki, how long have you been there?
Itagaki-san, you don't look so good.
Are you sick?
Umm... Reiko-san.
Yes?
- Can I talk to you for a minute? - Talk?
- Hey! - Yes?
- Umm... - Yes?
No...
We'll talk about this affair later.
- This affair? - This affair?
ECOTV Presents
In Loving Memory of
Miura Haruma
EPISODE 3
- Thank you for your hard work. - Yes, thank you as well.
It's in red, I put it there for you to check.
Are you married?
As soon as I found the RIGHT PERSON (Laugh)
As long as Ushijima-san has checked it, there's no problem.
Former pro tennis player turned CPA
A Brilliant Transition
Ah, thank you very much for that Quintessence reservation. Well done.
That took me on various routes.
I don't want you working behind me on that day.
Reiko-san's dinner meeting
Okay.
Ah, right.
I'd like to get a card called Siegwurm Nova
from the Battle Spirits card game, but it's a little hard to get...
I'll see if I can find it in auction.
I'll leave it up to you.
I see. Speaking of money, Saotome-kun, what do you think?
That's right.
Ah! Is it done?
Wow! That little sleeve. It's so cute.
It's perfect for a date.
Yes! Even your mom is beaming with joy.
Ah, look, it's Ken-chan.
Yes, I agree, and I think a misunderstanding of finances between a husband and wife
can easily lead to problems in the family.
Then the woman who's going to be Saotome-kun's wife should be
someone who's got a tight wallet.
- What do you think? - If it's Saotome-kun, then I'm sure
I think you'd make a great family.
No, I think the type Saotome-san like is going to be involved
in more trouble than you might think because he's popular.
- Hmm? - What's wrong?
Saotome-san's Annual Autumn Money Camp
every year and three months in advance,
there's always an announcement
on this hotel's event page,
but not this year.
Isn't Ken-chan busy?
He's preparing for his date with you, Reiko.
- Good morning! - Morning.
Good morning to you.
Reiko-san.
It's a beautiful day, so why don't we go out for a bit?
And if possible, wear that one-piece.
- This? - Trying on is important!
- Yes, yes. Try it on. - Yes, yes!
T... This is...
Yes, I knew it. That one-piece is so cute.
Please turn around. It's not safe.
Arent you a perfect match? It's nice being young.
- Where are we going? - Here, here.
umimachi market
- Reiko-san. - Please wait a minute.
Ah, there she is, Hikari!
- Hi! - Hi!
Good. Good.
Oh, that's good, too. Oh...
Keita. Keita. I think
I've seen this lady before. - Eh? Where?
I think she came to the candy shop where I work part-time...
She stood in line for an hour and a half and only bought one walnut cookie for 130 yen.
Yeah, that's definitely her, for sure.
Hikari-san.
You're doing a very good job.
- Thorough and meticulous. - Thanks.
Huh? Is that bag you're holding there handmade?
- Ah, yes. - I want to know how to make it.
Ah, yes, of course.
This lady got her first date this time.
Ah, really?
So pick out an accessory that looks good with this one-piece.
All right, I'm on it.
Yeah, definitely this one.
Yes, try it on. Try it on.
Try it on. Try it on.
Well, then...
How... is it?
You look pretty.
Really?
Yes. Yes.
It looks great on you. Great decision.
- I'm impressed, Hikari! - But wait a minute.
- Eh? - Eh? You don't like it?
No, it's not that. I like it a lot.
I mean, honestly, it was love at first sight.
However.
- However? - However?
I try to take extra careful and prudent
when welcoming new things.
- Extra careful and prudent? - Extra careful and prudent?
I don't really know
if I am able to properly
take care of this until the very end.
In addition, we have a limit of three pieces
of jewelry and other items.
I'll have to consult the accessories I have on hand.
Consult? With the accessories you have?
Bringing this homes means
I have to say goodbye to another one.
I don't understand. Your date will arrive before you can say anything.
- You don't understand? - I think I understand what you mean.
- Eh? You understand? - Yes.
Okay, then. I'm going to visit your house,
if I like one of your accessories,
I will make a trade for them for that.
So that will be important to you
and one of those thing will be mportant to me.
So what do you think?
Hikari-san, that's a great idea!
- Yes. - Yes.
- Yes. Yes. - Yes. Yes. - I didn't quite get it, but
that's good. - Ah!
There is one thing that I'm wondering about,
What is Hikari-san's relationship with Saruwatari-san?
Ah...
Hikari is my younger sister.
He's younger sister, is it?
Well. Well.
Huh? Gaki-kun.
I'd like to talk to you.
If you are having money problems, you can ask me anything.
No... That's not what I want to talk about.
Sensei's consultation fee is 300,000 yen per hour
so it's a unique opportunity to consult him for free.
300,000 an hour...
It.'s.. Free now?
- Have you had lunch? - No.
Then join us.
I see... That's tough.
I try to cut back on my life
and put money in my family.
I still have about 2 million yen left on my scholarship...
The universe in a piggy bank
The way money works is simple.
If the money coming in is big and the money going out is small, the money will pile up.
income
expenses
You're trying to save money and cut back on your expenses on a daily basis, right?
Ah, yes.
But if you cut back on your necessities, you're also cutting back on your mind.
No matter how much you scrimp, you can't reduce the amount of money you need to live on to zero.
That's right!
Why don't you turn your eyes on to this?
income
Your income.
The money that comes in can be multiplied indefinitely by you.
You're young and capable.
You can invest it or start a good company.
If you could make it move,
the money, and your life,
will start flowing too.
Money is Flow.
Who makes your life flow? Is it someone other than you?
- No, it's me! - So when will you do it?
- When other than now? - Right now!
Wonderful.
Just put your name here.
The flow of my life is set in motion right now.
I've brought the buckwheat zenzai.
- 980,000 yen! - This is a premium course for a limited number of people,
and we also offer a loan.
I'll think about it.
Excuse me.
Um, this is for me...
- Oh... - What do you think?
- It looks good on you. - I know, right?
Then I guess we'll have to make an exchange.
- Here. - Thanks.
Ah.
Up to now,
thank you very much for everything.
From now on, I wish you will give Hikari-san
many years of happiness.
Welcome.
From now, I look forward to your help.
Hey, hey. Can you teach me how to make that bag?
Yes.
- Here. - Ah, thank you.
I haven't seen that girl make friends like that
since middle school... - Eh? Really?
Saru-kun, I knew it, you are
Reiko's lucky charm.
I just want to see...
Reiko-san be happy in some way.
- Huh? - Ah.
- Because I am indebted to her. - Yes.
Thank you.
Saru-kun, your little sister is a high school student,
but you seem to be much older than she is. - Oh...
She's the only child my father had outside of the family.
- Eh? - I saw her when I was in high school.
When a little girl calls my father "Papa".
Well, it's a secret I can never tell my mother.
It's not Hikari's fault.
She's my only sister.
I just want to
take care of her as best as I can.
Yes, it is...
I've been through a lot.
That's why she's there.
Saruwatari-san and Hikari-san are
brothers and sisters that are few years apart.
Ah...
Ah... That guy somehow got it wrong.
Wrong?
Keita's dad was best friends with
my grandpa in college.
And even after Grandpa died,
he often came to Kamakura
to check on me and Mama...
- Where's Hikari-chan? - At the back.
I got a toy for you!
- Papa! - Yes. Eh?
He gives me lots of toys, so I have to be nice to Keita's dad.
Oh, I'm sorry about her.
Then, one day, Keita showed up.
From now on, your big brother will protect you.
- Here. - Thank you.
So who is Hikari's real father?
He live in the next town over ...from what I heard.
Well, my parents divorced
right after I was born, so I've never met him.
Then what is really the relationship between
Saruwatari-san and Hikari-san?
Hmmm...
- Strangers? - Eh!
Well... you'd better tell Saruwatari-san about it...
Eh? I can't. Because he
acts like my big brother
and he always give me pocket money.
So don't tell Keita, okay?
Ah. No, but...
I'd rather not say...
Ah, Gaki?
ITAGAKI JUN Can you give me a few minutes of your time tomorrow? I'll be waiting for you in the sales department.
Hey, Eda-chan, look at this!
The Seigwurm Nova card from Battle Spirits finally went for over 50,000 yen at auction.
Eh? 50,000?
No, this one's still going up.
Well, there weren't many of them.
It's so sad to see adults raising the price of children's toys, isn't it?
Huh?
Huh? Saru, what is it?
Is Gaki here?
Gaki was here earlier.
- Huh? - What the?
What? If you need me, come to the accounting department.
What? Why did you close the door?
Huh? Saotome is married?
This woman seems to be the mother of this kid.
- She said "Go with your Papa" - Papa?
No, no. But he said he was single. He told us, didn't he?
Maybe he just hide the fact that he has a wife and a child.
- Why would he do that? - Saotome-san only has female fans,
so it's convenient for him to work.
Huh!?
If that's the case, then this guy
is the world's worst of the worst asshole.
When I went to get to the bottom of it, it was almost like they turned the tables on me.
What should we do? Do we tell Reiko-san about this?
I can't tell you that!
That girl is really looking forward
to her first date with that guy like crazy.
How do we keep Reiko-san from getting hurt?
Huh?
Kuki-san... aren't you dressed up for something?
Could it be that you have a date?
Eh?
Eh!? Wait. Huh?
Saotome Chris, from that morning information show...
- Ken? That cute face... - Is this real?
He's coming this way.
Is it me? Me?
I was close by.
We've got some time to spare, so let's take a walk.
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
- G... Good job today. - I'm sorry. You must've come a long way.
What's going on?
What's going on here?
Hey, what's happening?
The usual cool evening breeze
on the way home.
My new one-piece
and a newly welcomed earrings.
And next to me...
is Saotome-san.
I haven't been to a flower shop in ages.
Flower shop and Saotome-san.
That's so good.
Ah, Kappa!
Kappa and Saotome-san.
That's so good.
The traffic lights and Saotome-san. So good!
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.
What was that? I was about to give you a piggyback ride.
A piggyback... No, no way...
Ah... That's good. So good.
Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Goooood.
Ah. That. I'm pretty sure that's ours.
- This is it, right? - Yes.
And what about this kid?
Ah, Ren-kun!
- That's Saotome Ren-kun, right? - Saotome...
Didn't he won in a competition the other day?
He's been a patron with us since he was little.
Is my son in trouble?
Ah, that's her mother. Hello. Hello.
Thank you for waiting Next is a salad of grilled conger eel
with green asparagus. Enjoy.
It looks so good.
Ah... Thank you for the food.
Hmm... So good.
That man, everything about him is a lie.
- A lie? - He married me because he got me pregnant.
But around that time, he was just starting to appear on TV,
and he was just starting to be known as a handsome, single accountant.
Then he said to me
"When things settle down, we'll announce the news at the right time" .
He is willing to pay for our living expenses and education.
But you know, that guy, as long as he's paying
he thinks he's fulfilling his duty as a father.
You know, this day...
it's like a dream.
What happened today
I will take with me to my graveyard.
墓場 (Hakaba=graveyard), it should be 墓 (Haka=grave)
Reiko.
That's probably the wrong Japanese word for it.
Huh.
I'm sorry.
You know, today.
I wanted to talk to you about something.
- Okay. - There's...
something I haven't told you for a long time, Reiko.
Actually, I'm...
You're Saotome Chris Ken, right? Are you on a date?
- What do you want? - My name is Okada from Weekly Papers.
- Do you have a date tonight? - So what exactly is it?
- You can't film us. Please excuse us. - I heard a rumor about you, Saotome-san.
Saotome-san, you are married, aren't you?
I think it's now a scam to pretend
to be single and give an expensive seminar to a woman.
Please stop that! For interviews, please contact our office, this way.
- Just a word, please! - Stop that!
- Please get in. - Saotome-san!
Saotome-san, please! The car.
Let's pursue the car.
Family and friends are encouraged to contact the local police for advice.
These scams are becoming more and more sophisticated, so be careful.
Next up is "Copy this." Morning Money.
With the Certified Public Accountant, Saotome-kun.
Saotome-kun?
Saotome-sensei is taking a break for a while.
Is it a crime for a married person
to lie about being single in the first place?
It can be a crime of fraud if you're married
and you take money from people
who think you're single.
Saotome-san's case is a delicate one.
Well... you know what? It's nice to know about that early on.
That way it's a much less severe of a wound.
Mama, you're potato salad today is the best.
Let me get them.
Ah. That's right. Saruhiko.
When I hug Saruhiko, you see.
My brain somehow releases a hormone called dolphin.
He meant endorphin.
It has a soothing effect.
Here, give it a squeeze.
- Squeeze it. - Saru-kun...
I appreciate your concern.
But I'm okay with it.
- Meiko-san. Meiko-san. Hey... - Hmm? What?
Eh? What is it?
- CHRI...! - Shhh!
Saotome Chris Ken is married with a child.
Saotome Chris Ken
Ah... It was on the morning news.
Good-looking accountant's single scam.
Chief...
But women are often the ones who get cheated on by guys with good looks, right?
I don't know if there's anything going on with that face, but...
Inoguchi-san!
It's just that the receipts from the other day were a bit...
- Eh? What? What? - Come with me for a second.
Shouldn't you be the one to come in here? I'll go, but...
- Welcome home. - I'm home.
I've made way too many things today... I think.
- I'm gonna go wash my hands. - Okay.
The lectures is under fire
Hmm...
Reiko-san, is it another morning of walking today?
No.
I might as well go with you.
I best be on my feet too, right?
Reiko-san, you really shouldn't do this.
I'm worried about him.
I want my money back!!
EXPLAIN
Just the face
You're the worst!!
scammer
He's just a guy with a face after all.
scammer!!
scammer
You're an asshole with a face!
- Ah... - Ah, umm...
I'm sorry but you have to leave for today.
- B... But.. - Please leave.
I need to talk to Saotome.
Come in.
You look terrible.
I guess I got what I deserved.
You're right.
I'm sorry
for making you wait so long.
I'm going to make a statement and tell the truth.
From now on,
I want the three of us to do things right as a family.
I've been waiting to hear those words for so long.
Let's get a divorce.
Eh?
Isn't it obvious?
You're telling me you're my husband and father,
when it isn't benefiting to us now.
I guess, the settlement, right?
80% of the money you've earned so far.
What are you talking about?
I think that's a fair price to pay for all the mental anguish we've been through, don't you?
I see... that's how it is.
You're the one who leaked the story to the Weekly.
You did this!?
Do you have any idea how much it's going to hurt Ren?
Now, I just need to talk to my lawyer.
- We should go home. - But...
Sorry.
Right now.
I need you to leave.
I'm just curious.
Are you going to break?
Break?
Because I don't think
it was your wife who leaked it.
Eh?
Saotome-san's Annual Money Camp
was announced every year
on the hotel's event page three months in advance.
But...
It's not even on the list this year.
Eh?
I was curious so I contacted the hotel.
And then they said there was no reservation yet.
That can't be...
Because we are already accepting reservations.
I apologize if I'm wrong.
But the fact that Ushijima-san didn't get the venue,
which she always do a perfect job of doing
means you knew
in advance that the article would be published, right?
Wait a minute. Does that mean that...
You
leaked it?
You leaked it?
Yes.
You are correct.
If the camp is cancelled due to a flood of protests,
there will be a cancellation fee.
How could you do this?
They were orange.
Eh?
The scheduler app I shared with Sensei.
Sensei, you sort each item by color, right?
Work is blue, keeping fit is green,
private life is orange.
Once a month you pat me on the back for a two-hour meal that's blue.
Well... That's not the point.
- I sent it to you. - Okay.
Orange to meet with your family.
Well, that's okay too.
For me, it was nice to know that I knew everything about you, Sensei.
But...
I don't want you working behind me on that day.
Okay.
This lady,
of all people, who's always shoving mysterious gifts at you,
is an orange?
I've been working for Sensei for 24 hours a day and I only have 2 hours for blue?
While this lady gets unlimited hours for orange?
That's outrageous, isn't it?
What kind of a stupid thing is that?
Stupid?
Well, okay.
Sensei,
when you fall to the ground,
I'm the only one who'll protect you.
Saotome-san.
If we could talk it over properly
with both Ushijima-san and your wife,
if you could face up to it properly, I'm sure Saotome would...
- That's enough, Reiko-san. - Eh?
You're an asshole, you know.
You're making all the girls around you cry.
You know that kind of man is the worst.
Reiko-san
is too good for you.
- No, but... - Let's go.
But...
- Earlier... - I'm in love with someone else.
- Eh? - With my local hometown childhood friend.
I want to start a normal family
with him and Ren.
I don't want any alimony.
What about Ren?
If in the future he needs a more expensive instrument...
Sure, money would be a pain in the ass.
But you know,
Money can't buy any sympathy.
Ren, the card you said you wanted the other day.
I don't like it anymore.
Mom, let's go.
Huh? That's cold.
Let's hurry up and run.
Reiko-san?
You can go home first!
Huh!?
I'm burnt out.
I retired from active duty at 23
and suddenly I had no goals...
I've lost track of my life.
All the money I've saved from my days as an athlete and taking advantage
of the delicious stories of the adults who have approached me.
It vanished in the blink of an eye.
From there, I studied money,
got my CPA license,
and started investing.
It was fun.
When and where
and the right time to play the game.
There was a clear winner and loser.
But now, again...
I've lost track of my life.
All I know for sure is
that you had a crush on me for a long time.
But he's gone.
But still I...
I
I still love you, Saotome-san.
I...
was having the hardest time of my life.
Saotome-san, you were there for me.
So
why can't I
be there for you this time?
I'm sorry.
But I can't reciprocate
your feelings for me, Reiko.
I understand.
Saotome-san, even if you think you're
at rock bottom right now
you will surely be able to rise back up again.
Like I did.
Besides, it's more human and wonderful
to be a little broken down than
to have a perfect Saotome-san.
I'm back.
Huh? Reiko-san?
W... What is she doing?
Hey... That's dangerous.
It's dangerous.
I always cut myself, so it's okay.
I mean... you're gonna catch a cold
if you stay wet, so take a bath and warm up...
Reiko-san?
I heard...
that doing this would make you forget.
Eh?
It hurts so much...
It hurts...
- It hurts. - Eh?
Hurts where? Is it your chest? or your heart?
No... Umm... What should I do?
Ah, that's right!
Pain, pain, go away!
Pain, pain, pain.
Go away!
Choo!
I got rejected!
Saotome-san rejected me!
