Women with insomnia are able to fall asleep with a man beside them.
That's the business goal of a sleeping companion shop.
They give troubled women a cure, a heart beat,
and the most precious of all, sleep.
That's "Stripe Sheep."
Why did you immediately agree to join Stripe Sheep when I asked?
Because Shio-san's smile is too cute.
What?
I...probably will quit Stripe Sheep.
What?
Shio-san, I...
Sorry.
Hello?
Shio-san...this is bad!
The customer...committed suicide...
Committed suicide?
Shima Shima - Episode 3
Kizuna Fansubs presents...
It's not committing suicide.
I just wanted to see if the section leader would pick his wife or pick me.
Also, threatening to kill ourselves is a game women play.
The sleeping companion was there just in case no one helped me.
Insurance? He was so shocked...
It was much more interesting, right?
The section chief asked for a divorce many times, but his wife would always go crazy.
She would run to his company to create ruckus.
That woman is at fault for not being able to control her own husband.
Hikibi, wait!
Please stop here.
You are at fault.
Have you consider how his wife must have felt?
I also foolishly believed that he would actually divorce his wife.
Liar.
Getting a divorce is an obvious lie men make.
You know that too.
What?
You don't know anything.
Why do women believe men's lies?
I am really embarrassed.
I also admired her a bit.
She doesn't care about anything around her.
She just does whatever she feels like.
Gai-kun.
At that time...
What about Big Brother?
I heard he was here.
He wasn't here.
Oh. Nothing.
Even though I suspect something,
I am afraid of asking.
Kasai-san...
Because I think that after we find out the truth behind the lie,
we would be in more pain than we are now.
I am very hungry.
Chopsticks, chopsticks...
Is it Shio-san? Hello?
Oh, that day? I have time.
Oh, Gai is with me right now.
Shio-san wants to discuss your schedule.
Oh.
Hello?
Oh, sorry. I will call you back later.
I am back.
Mom?
Has Hibiki contacted you?
What?
He did contact him.
How despicable! I really am suspecting him.
That child just then mentioned Shio-san, right?
Impossible.
I must say, Gai.
Mom is very worried.
I am worried that you will be hurt by a woman like Hibiki.
Big Brother is the one that hurt someone.
Gai, you are going to inherit the company. You should be a bit more aware.
[Phone: Shio-san's Telephone Number]
What is it? Did a man that gives you a good night kiss appear?
He appeared, my soul mate.
No. Not at all.
You are silly.
It's fine to lie at times like this.
Lie?
Lie is what women do best to cope.
I see.
What about lies men make?
Men's lies...
are a tool to escape.
Men are very weak creatures.
But when women are over 30 years old,
they have to pretend that they were lied to by a man.
If she keeps talking, all of my tolerance will disappear...
Gai-san!
What?
What's wrong? Why are you drunk?
Shut up!
It hurts! What are you doing?
Shu-san!
What?
Say, are there lies that prevent people from being hurt?
Their palm should indicate if they lie often.
Palm?
It's impossible for you.
Does a liar have to be a villain?
Nice people lie because they think that's the best for the other person.
How despicable! It's already so late.
Here. Come learn crosstalk with me. I am leaving.
Yes, Teacher!
Shuuji is getting more into studying.
It is the first time I'm seeing you so drunk.
You still haven't given her the keys, right?
Shio-san still has her wedding picture with Big Brother and the rings.
It would be better not to lie.
Since you already lied, then you should keep the lie going.
I don't want to see Shio-san cry anymore.
Gai.
What?
Do you like Shio-san?
How can that be? I wouldn't...
I like her.
What?
I like her.
Good, good, good. Look. My husband and I look alike, right?
Madam, what are you doing?
You ruined my family.
Threatening one's life is a game women play when in a relationship.
Love game? Kasai-san?
You have all waited for too long.
Were you all waiting for me? How cute.
On nights that you can't sleep, let Stripe Sheep help you.
There's no possibility of happiness with that person.
We clearly know that in our hearts.
Once we submerge into it,
we cannot get out of it.
If I can,
I want to become the person I was before I met him.
Did Hibiki contact you?
What about Big Brother?
I heard he was here.
He wasn't.
Welcome...
It still hasn't closed. You still continue to maintain it?
Here. Please sit.
I heard from Gai.
You two still meet each other.
What?
No. We don't meet.
This is an important period for the child inheriting the company.
I hope that starting today, you will have nothing to do with any of my sons.
Do you understand?

Good night.
You are late by 10 minutes.
You are not worth me waiting.
Hey, did you know
massaging the lower back is the most effective way to help people sleep?
The back will be with you when you are 20, 30...
Hey. Did you just yawn?
This punk.
It hurts. It hurts. It hurts!
What are you doing?
Aren't you suppose to be a sleeping companion?
I have already apologized to Aya-san.
I am sorry.
Gai-kun, if you are troubled you can talk to me.
What?
Gai-kun has been kind of weird lately.
It has nothing to do with Shio-san.
I am the store owner. You should talk to me.
If you already apologized, then it is fine.
You can't mess around with being in Stripe Sheep.
Shio-san, you are really annoying!
So...
So what?
Gai-kun!
Shio-san, Gai has already thought about what happened this time.
Right?
It is almost time for Stripe Sheep today.
I can't give this Gai-kun any tasks.
I will go ask Shuuji-kun.
You are Shuuji-san?
Please take care of me.
Here.
I won't do anything stupid again. So don't worry.
Are you no longer giving Gai any tasks?
Yes, I can't do anything about it.
Here.
Thanks.
If I also quit,
then Shio-san will be even more troubled.
What?
I will probably quit Stripe Sheep.
Ran-chan, were you serious last time?
Sorry for saying something so impulsive.
I want to focus completely on the person I like.
The person you like?
I should leave.
Thanks for your hospitality.
Good night.
Hey. Do you want to be in a relationship with me?
I am just kidding.
Serious men are not interesting.
Not interesting?
But I know that being with men like that, I will be more happy.
Plus, ever since the beginning, it was all a lie.
He told me he was single,
and then he lied to me saying that he would get a divorce.
Do you really like him?
Knowing that you can't have him makes a woman want him even more.
Oh. The female store owner of your store should understand that, right?
Go, go, go...
That person is sure nosy.
She came over the moment I was discharged from the hospital.
I don't really understand what it is like to be the third person,
but I do understand the feeling of unrequited love.
What?
You know that you will be hurt.
Could it be...
Okane-san, don't think about committing suicide again.
Oh. How about this?
We can compete to see who finds happiness first.
When I asked Stripe Sheep for help,
I saw his wife during the day.
That bastard told his wife to her face that he would break up with me, and he even knelt.
Once his wife left,
he told me that it will get better for us in the future.
Don't you think that he thinks I am an idiot?
For me, this is a love that makes me unable to sleep.
When I think of it like that,
I think everything is uninteresting.
I want...I want...to disappear.
If that Stripe Sheep member didn't come, I would...
have been dead.
But you are alive now.
Okane-san is still alive.
That bastard filled with lies
is not worth you giving up your life.
Lying is like swallowing 1,000 needles.
If so, are those 1,000 needles real?
Or are those 1,000 fish bones?
Which one is it?
Your dream is to be a script writer, right?
What story are you writing?
The title is "The Inhaling Girl."
Inhaling is when oxygen enters the heart,
and it will rise to the top.
The interesting part is towards the end.
If you are accompanied by someone,
no matter how cold your heart is, it will be warmer by a degree.
[Contact: Kasai-san]
[Yes]
[Delete Kasai-san?]
Then you can make a small step forward.
But if you are by yourself,
then you can only keep lying to yourself and telling yourself you are OK.
Good night.
I am sorry about yesterday.
A lot of things happened, and I lost my temper.
Me too...
I am sorry.
Big Brother did come.
It was the day when Shio-san came looking for him.
Is that so?
It would had been great if you two met.
What? Is this what was bothering you?
Because...
Geez. Hibiki too.
He made his brother do things like this.
It would have been better if he just told me directly.
Gai-kun, you think too much.
Then I am leaving first.
Did Hibiki say anything?
He didn't say anything.
He didn't say anything?
Yes.
Is that so? That's good.
Ok. Now we really have nothing to do with each other.
See you.
Shio-san, I...
I didn't want to see Shio-san cry.
Why?
Why would I cry?
Because...
Good bye.
I know.
Everything ended that day.
Hibiki left.
He left and gave me these divorce papers.
But...
I was never willing to admit it this whole year.
Let's work hard together.
Yes.
Why the two of us?
Idiot.
Everything, everything, everything.
If everything that has to do with him is gone,
then I can go to the past
and start over again.
Everything is here.
Farewell, Hibiki.
That's not everything. There's still Gai-kun.
Happy birthday.
I should also close Stripe Sheep.
Shio-san really took the day off?
Didn't I say that many times already?
She hasn't picked up her phone since morning.
This is the first time.
Welcome. Oh! Handsome man!
Excuse me, is Shio-san here?
We haven't reached her since this morning.
Ran-san!
Gai!
Do you know where Shio-san is?
What?
She doesn't pick up her phone.
She also didn't go to the beauty salon to work.
What happened?
Uh...
What?
I...couldn't lie to Shio-san in the end.
Gai, do you still have Shio-san's house keys?
Yes.
Give them to me.
This is my responsibility.
I am going.
Who is the one that hurt Shio-san?
It's me... This is my responsibility.
Gai, you can't do it.
What can you do?
Why?
Shio-san is a liar. She is clearly crying.
