All language subtitles for Candy Color Paradox EP08

We've decided on this week's cover story.

Well then, here it is.

Onoe's undercover efforts have paid off.

"The Telephone Scams and Arrest of Yoshimitsu Tamura."

- Congratulations. - He is really good.

- Thank you. - You're being so quiet.

Where's the energy? Be excited.

All right, onto today's work.

Yes, sir.

I'm Satoshi Onoe, a journalist for the Weekly Dash.

This guy was my partner, photographer Motohara Kaburagi.

Yoshimitsu Tamura, a former pro baseball player,

was said to be conducting telephone scams.

I got close to him and managed to get the scoop.

Help me.

I just don't understand.

Understand what?

How you could deceive people for a scoop.

What are you saying?

We're through.

But my method was wrong.

I got the scoop by deceiving Tamura.

That disappointed Kaburagi.

Okay, and you, Onoe?

Onoe!

I have several leads.

Okay.

Then let's all look into our leads and get ourselves a story.

Dismissed.

Please make five copies for me.

Oh, sure.

No, make ten.

He's completely avoiding me

and won't even make eye contact now.

I wanted to tell you something, Kabu.

Takagaki from the politics team

get really excited after seeing your work.

He keeps annoying me, saying he wants you.

They're shorthanded too, after all.

Do you want me to go, Mr. Kiuchi?

Of course not! You're our ace.

Please transfer Onoe to the politics team.

Onoe?

Are you sure? You two make a great team.

Please.

Just how much does that guy hate me?

CANDY COLOR PARADOX

Onoe. This part's still not fixed.

Oh, you're right.

You rarely make mistakes like this.

Sorry, I'll fix it right away.

Wait, are you moving?

No, I was just looking.

Well, concentrate during work hours, got it?

- I'll wait for your edits. - Okay.

Was it all just a dream?

TOKYO REAL ESTATE

Hey, can I sit here?

Sure.

Do you feel betrayed

that Onoe would deceive someone like that?

No.

His work scope has expanded. That's good, right?

Then why are you avoiding him?

It means Onoe volunteered as a challenge against me, right?

Oh, wow. Correct.

He's too simple.

He said he can do anything that I can do.

If I stay with him,

he'll get that kind of work again.

But I don't think Onoe is cut out for it.

You know he worked in the current affairs team before, right?

What? Yes.

Do you know what he'd do?

He wrote about building fires and slush funds, right?

Yeah. He also wrote about stalkers and suicides, too.

He's seen reality just as much as you have.

And in the current affairs team,

he's saved countless lives,

abandoning jobs other journalists would jump at.

He knows a lot about taxes

because when he chased after the corrupt tax advisor,

he met someone with late taxes who considered a family suicide.

He studied furiously to save him.

He works for the sake of others.

That's the kind of guy he is.

As a reporter, that's not necessarily a good thing.

No matter how awful the job was, he would never waver.

He's way stronger than you think.

But he's all dried up now.

He did his very best in his work,

yet his partner is now avoiding him.

I feel sorry for him.

Judging from how he is now,

he's probably crying now.

Thank you for waiting.

Here's your fried ham cutlet and...- thick fried tofu. - Thank you.

Yep.

Here's your beer.

Thanks.

It's nice of you to come several days in a row,

but can you stop acting depressed?

Masayan.

Yeah?

Hear me out.

What?

That guy's ignoring me.

This again?

You've said that 200 times in the past three days.

Not 200 times.

You have.

I haven't.

You have.

I'm struggling.

Onoe already left.

Oh, I see.

I've been meaning to ask,

but why'd you put Onoe and Kabu together?

When he worked at Kaori's place four years ago,

he asked me something.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

Kaburagi.

Is it fun to always poach people's innermost thoughts?

It is.

Since, in some cases, their true selves are actually pure.

I never thought that one comment

would make him come for an interview.

I was at a loss back then.

Is that true?

Well, ever since he joined our company,

he did seem distrustful of others.

But there aren't any good cases early on.

He grew even more distrusting, and it weighed on my conscience.

So, since they were talking about transferring Onoe,

I was hoping he'd help him out somehow.

You wanted Onoe to clean up your mess?

It's fine, Onoe always meets expectations.

He's incredible.

Go sleep in the corner.

Stand up.

Give me your arm.

Hurry up.

Onoe.

Kaburagi.

Come. We need to talk.

I don't want to.

What the hell.

He came all this way to see you.

I don't want to go.

It's something bad, isn't it?

Go already!

Go chat somewhere else.

Come on, get out.

Masayan, you traitor.

Look at me.

No.

This isn't the kind of talk you think it is.

Then what is it?

You said the other person won't know until you say how you feel.

I'm the same way.

So let me ask.

When you took the job, did you feel any reluctance?

Well, of course I was a bit reluctant.

But I didn't want you to push yourself.

That's what I thought.

Why would you...

I mean, you actually hate that kind of work too, right?

But you always act like you're okay with it.

I don't really want to see you suffer through

that kind of thing.

So I did it for you.

Ugh, seriously, stop being like that.

But...I'd rather do it myself too,

rather than have you do it.

For the same reason.

Is that...why you tried to send me to a different team?

So that I wouldn't suffer through anything?

Yeah.

Then does that mean

that you don't hate me?

Of course not.

I'm so relieved.

I'm so glad.

I was so worried.

What's so funny?

Stop laughing.

You're crying buckets.

There's something I haven't asked you.

What?

What do you think of me?

But you've always known, for a long time now.

I don't know.

Not at all.

You liar, you totally know.

I told you before that I like you, right?

You said "probably" back then.

Did I?

Then I take back the "probably."

I like you.

What about you?

I like you...

way more.

Hey.

You always smell really nice.

Do I?

I didn't spray anything.

It's probably your shampoo.

Then...

we'll smell the same when we live together.

final credits

I never thought this would happen with this guy.

Hey.

Good morning.

This is embarrassing.

What?

I'm not at all.

So embarrassing.

Hey, your hair.

It's an explosion.

- Nonsense - Hey, shut it.

- Stop. - I won't.

It's morning.

- I won't stop. - Stop.

I won't.

Hey, are we really living together?

That's why you looked into listings, right?

How'd you know?

How did I?

Huh? Again?

Kabu. Onoe.

The duo is back.

Well, I knew you'd be back.

Now, go look into this tip-off.

Several AE 2 idol group members are taking drugs?

Several members?

Eight out of 10 members.

- Almost everyone. - Almost everyone.

That's crazy.

It's a pretty big scoop.

Be ready.

Well, we'll have to start from their supplier.

This might be a long battle.

Yeah, don't get worn out.

Back at you.

Can you start immediately?

Yes.

We'll be off, then.

So cute and easy to read.

Well, let's have them sprint forward.

I'm Satoshi Onoe, a journalist for the Weekly Dash.

Ouch.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

So clumsy.

This guy's my partner, photographer Motohara Kaburagi.

Hey, it's our first time holding hands.

Yeah, should we go to the stakeout like this?

What the hell. Let go.

Whether we're at work or at home,

he's an important partner to me.

You were so uncool back there.
