Did you sleep well?

Sorry, I got drunk and ended up sleeping through the night.

-It's fine. -That whiskey was just so good,

I got a little carried away.

I mean, the price has gone up so fast that it's hard to get these--

Ah, never mind...

Japanese whiskey is also popular abroad.

In ten years, it might end up being too expensive for most people to buy.

-But not for a Noble Son. -I'm not a Noble Son.

But...

if you ever feel like having a drink, feel free to give me a call.

I'll join you.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry... for venting at you yesterday.

But getting all that out...

made me feel so much better!

I had completely given up on ever being able to change my life.

I thought I'd just be stuck waiting for the end.

But now...

just the fact that the sun still rises,

that I can walk, that I can eat delicious food,

that I can get drunk, and that I can go to work at the office...

To me, it's all a miracle.

So, I'm okay.

I'm going to live my way.

Just as you should.

To your heart's content.

You too, Director.

Huh?

Because you always look so serious. Like this.

You're right.

Let's live however we want, both of us.

Yeah.

Well, then, I'll be seeing you.

If you run into any trouble...

be sure to come talk with me.

Not as your superior,

but as your peer from the same university.

Thank you for yesterday.

I was glad... to have you by my side.

Misa?

Morning. Misa didn't come back, huh?

Where...

Here?

We're in Misa's room. The night view wasn't beautiful at all.

Reina, hurry. Get dressed! Come on!

No, I'm sleepy...

Who cares, just hurry!

I said hurry up!

You're so loud...

Misa!

-Morning! -Morning.

-I'll hold half. -Oh, thanks.

Hey, sorry about last night.

I had a bit too much to drink and I think I came off a little harsh.

No problem. I also went too far.

How late did you end up working?

I thought I'd take a break and dozed off. When I woke up, it was already morning.

-Jeez! -Oh, no...

-You should take better care of yourself. -I messed up...

Yeah, I know.

Tomoya! Morning.

Morning.

Good morning.

Sorry I didn't call yesterday.

No, don't worry about it...

Did you sleep well?

-Sorry, Reina. These go over there. -Huh? All right.

My fate changed.

Reina and Tomoya slept together before the wedding.

TOMOYA HIRANO

Hello, Tomoya?

Yeah, thanks for making the reservation.

I'm looking forward to meeting your mom.

I tried to change my fate.

But... it doesn't seem to work that way.

Without a substitute.

A substitute...

WHICH ONE LOOKS BEST ON ME?

THEY ALL LOOK GOOD!

Morning.

Yeah, morning.

Your tie is crooked.

You're so clumsy, it's cute.

Reina, not at the office.

Then, will you come over later?

That was just a one-time thing...

And, well... considering your relationship with Misa...

I wanted to talk to you about that.

Honestly, I feel really guilty.

I think I'd feel better if I just told Misa--

No, wait!

Let's talk. Just... take our time and talk this through, okay?

The second planning division fails again!

We finally closed the deal for the new store, and you ruined it!

Hey, what's going on, Second Planning Division?

Is there a problem?

There's a problem, all right.

The chairman of Asahi Department Store was hospitalized

for his peanut allergy after eating a mushi manju served at the tasting event!

What?

His wife said that a female employee gave her this list of ingredients.

Someone gave her the wrong ingredient list.

Ms. Esaka. Can you bring me the list of ingredients for the mushi manju?

Thank you for your patience.

Here is the ingredient list for the mushi manju.

Thank you. Okay, let's go.

Of all people, the chairman of Asahi Department Store?

Who was it? Who was in charge of the live kitchen at the tasting event?

I know how this looks,

but everyone was asked about allergies when we gave out the lists.

The first thing out of your mouth is an excuse?

How about starting with a sincere apology?

Stop acting like some kid at a summer job!

Do you have any idea what you've done?

Mr. Tomita, we should let Ms. Suzuki make her case before...

You have my deepest apologies on behalf of our new staff.

By the way, could you tell me which hospital the chairman...

This incident was the reason Miku...

Thank you very much.

...was moved to a subsidiary.

It wasn't Miku.

That day,

-the peanut paste mushi manju-- -I heard what happened.

Asahi Department Store is an important client,

so please leave the investigation into this matter to me.

Very well.

That day, the peanut paste mushi manju weren't served at the venue, right?

Right.

So then why...

Since there wasn't a substitute...

destiny ran its course.

Ms. Kanbe, that's all for now.

But...I really don't think it was Miku.

That has yet to be determined.

The person responsible will be held accountable.

-I'll help find out-- -Ms. Kanbe.

Leave this matter to me. You...

Please focus on what you need to be doing.

Ms. Esaka.

I'm sorry things turned out like this...

What should I do?

It's fine, don't worry about it.

That face you're making doesn't suit you at all.

Here.

Drink this and cheer up.

Mr. Tomita...

Here.

Didn't I promise you...

that I would make you a permanent employee at the end of your current contract?

Ms. Esa...

No.

Reina...

I'll protect you.

Why don't we go for a drive on your next day off to relax?

I just got my car customized.

Let's see. How about somewhere around Hakone?

Maybe stay the night?

Wow! That sounds like fun.

It's a secret, just between us.

See you!

Too easy.

I finally caught you.

Why are you here?

You're always posting about the happy hour here on Instagram.

Ms. Kanbe and I were looking for you.

We figured you'd be drinking alone somewhere.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

-Two more beers, please. -Certainly.

I wanted to talk to you.

You might not believe it, but I prefer to do my brooding alone.

What's going on with the company's investigation?

The higher-ups wouldn't tell us anything.

I have to go with the director to offer my formal apology.

Miku, do you really think it was your fault?

Well, I definitely don't remember being that careless, but...

there were just so many guests that day,

so to be honest...

I can't say for sure.

Here you are.

I'll go apologize.

If it's for the good of the company.

I'm sure the company just wants to settle this somehow...

I get that.

I'm an adult.

That's what being a working professional is all about... I think.

Is it, though?

Huh?

If you know something's wrong,

but to keep someone else out of trouble, or because it's the "adult" thing to do,

you just keep your mouth shut.

Is that really the right thing to do?

I...

want to be someone who can say whatever she wants.

Someone strong...

Someone like you, Miku.

That's not good.

They just got a big contract,

but they pissed off the Asahi Department Store chairman.

You think the new girl will get fired?

It's inevitable.

She can't do her job right.

All right.

Are you going home already?

Well... there are some things I have to prepare.

I see.

Misa is meeting your parents this week, right?

So you get what you want and then head right back to Misa, huh?

So that's how it is.

I was thinking.

After I get married, let's meet like this sometimes.

What do you mean?

You know, like at work.

You need the right person for each job.

Misa is definitely the kind, modest wife.

And you're... the cute, sexy mistress type.

I know that I can keep you satisfied.

So, as long as Misa doesn't find out,

I think we can keep this going.

I'll message you later.

A faithful wife and a sexy mistress.

Am I living every man's dream?

Life gets busy as a stud.

Yeah, hello?

Tomoya, are you okay?

Huh?

Dulcis Coin is the cryptocurrency you invested in, right?

MASSIVE CRYPTOCURRENCY FRAUD

Huh?

What?!

No!

What?!

I finally got a hold of the guy from my university

who introduced me to it...

But he said they got him too.

How much did you invest?

You said you put in more, right?

-Don't hide things from me. -Almost all of my savings,

and with my parents' land as collateral,

I got loans from banks and some cash advances...

Twenty million yen.

And all of it's gone?

I'll talk to my mom about it when the timing is right,

but... Misa, I'm sorry,

I don't think I can pay the down payment on the condo.

It's fine. I'll pay for it.

Huh?

I paid the first time too, after all.

Tomoya, it's ready.

I'm so hungry.

That condo is a necessity.

It turned out great.

Oh, a stew!

Yeah, doesn't it look good?

Thanks for the meal.

Let's eat.

So that Reina and Tomoya can start their married life together.

How is it?

-It's incredible. -Really?

It's our little love nest after all. Let me pay for it.

Call it a parting gift.

Really?

However, I have one condition.

A condition?

Don't tell anybody that I'm the one who paid.

Huh?

I'd like to be the kind of wife who lets her husband lead.

Misa...

You really are something else.

Thank you, Misa.

Wow, so you officially sealed the deal the condo.

Yeah, Tomoya paid a pretty sizable down payment.

He said we'd be better off financially borrowing less for the mortgage.

He's surprisingly good at those kinds of things.

Where are you going to meet his parents?

At Zuishotei.

That's quite the splurge.

Tomoya made the reservation.

It's a place we'll remember forever,

so we wanted it to be somewhere classy.

But I'm so nervous because I've never been to such an extravagant restaurant.

You seem happy.

-Really? -Yeah.

It's like you trust Tomoya without a single doubt.

I'm sure you'll find someone you can trust too, Reina.

Thanks for helping me choose.

I'll wear this and do my best.

Thank you for your patience.

How would you like it cut today?

Give me something intimidating.

Something that would scare people away from me.

But today... weren't you supposed to meet your fiancé's parents--

His mom...

isn't normal.

I see. I'll do my best.

Leave the venue, food, and dress to me.

Since Misa here has no sense of style.

Mother!

Hello. Oh? Where's Tomo?

He went out shopping for a bit.

Oh, you scared me. Didn't expect you there.

Where's Tomo?

What's this? Did he disappear again?

Okay...

Huh? Tomo?

Okay, okay. Eat up, Misa.

Thank you.

You'll need some meat on those bones to have healthy children.

Let's eat.

I'm home.

-Tomo, welcome home. -Welcome back.

Mom, you're here again?

Today we're having Matsuzaka beef sukiyaki.

Wow, that's quality meat.

-Hurry up and eat. Hot! Hot! -Looks great.

SALE USA BEEF

I'm hungry.

Here.

This meat is so good!

PRIME MATSUSAKA BEEF

His cousin Shin's already having his third child.

Are you getting your regular checkups at the clinic?

Mom, you look beautiful.

Oh, no, I'm getting nervous!

I'm sure she's a reliable person since you chose her, Tomo.

Yes. She's kind, hard-working, and frugal.

Then she's perfect for you, Tomo.

I always dreamed of having a daughter and going shopping with her in Ginza.

I'm sure Misa would like that.

She has arrived.

She's here.

Misa--

I'm so glad to finally meet you, Mother.

Huh?

My name is Misa Kanbe. I'm in a relationship with Tomoya.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Misa?

I'm sorry to ask this,

but are you prepared for marriage?

What do you mean by "prepared for marriage"?

With those nails...

Can you cook?

What about cleaning? And laundry?

Once you get married, you can't just live your life

however you want like you did when you were single, you know?

Keeping your husband healthy is part of your duty as a wife.

Just nuking frozen side dishes in the microwave

would be awful for your husband, you know?

Breakfast should be freshly cooked rice,

lunch, a healthy bento box,

and dinner, a proper feast to fuel him for the next day.

Can you really make all of that by hand?

Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables,

beans, shellfish, seaweed, mushrooms, and fruit,

all should be served in balance.

I always serve at least five dishes, including main and side dishes.

My son grew up in such a home.

It is fine if you want to work,

but neglecting your household chores...

Why should I work, Mother?

Why?

Are you saying you're going to go out and have fun

while Tomo works hard to earn money?

I have to serve fresh rice for breakfast, prepare a balanced bento for lunch,

and at least five dishes for dinner, not to mention cleaning, and laundry.

When do I have time for office work?

You're a full-time employee at Suzutoya, right?

Are you going to quit and live on Tomo's earnings alone?

Any amount of money will never be enough.

-How will you raise children? -We won't have any, so it's fine.

We come from a distinguished family.

That kind of behavior will not be tolerated!

So how do you expect me to work, do the chores, make his food, and have a child?

Oh, will you be hiring a housekeeper for us?

Just how lazy are you?

This is what's expected of all women after they marry!

That sounds like something out of the stone age.

What's with that tone?

And that attitude?!

As I thought,

girls from parentless households are just no good.

Hey, old lady.

Old lady?

Old lady?

Huh?! Are you talking about me?

Yes, old lady. We're not married yet, so not my Mother, but just some old lady.

Misa, what's going on?!

-What the hell are you thinking?! -Old lady,

are your parents still alive?

We both lost our parents, haven't we?

So why bring mine into this just to mock me?

My father is no longer in this world,

but if he could see me now,

I know he'd be smiling... and proud of who I am.

Don't force your ridiculous values on others...

old lady.

Misa...

Come on, Misa!

What are you thinking? And what's with the outfit?

This outfit? My gyaru look.

That's not what I'm asking you.

Looks great on me, right? Even I'm surprised.

Whatever, anyway, let's go back.

If we go back and apologize, it might just work...

Well, it's probably impossible now,

but if you apologize for real, my mom might forgive you.

Apologize? Me? Why?

Huh?

Are you trying to ruin our marriage?

Who's the one ruining our marriage?

Huh?

I know.

The night of the Olympic tasting event.

I know what you did and who with.

Could you let go of my arms?

Well, that's...

That's...

Misa! Tomoya!

I came because I was worried about Misa.

What happened? Where's the dress I chose for you?

It didn't suit me, so I didn't wear it.

Did something happen?

-Why don't the two of us talk for a bit? -The two of us?

I'll leave the rest to the two of you.

Take your time.

Seriously. She's unbelievable.

Let's go, Tomo.

Nice to meet you, Mother.

Yes!

Yes!

We sincerely apologize for the trouble we have caused.

We are truly sorry.

I told you there was no need to come.

-That wouldn't be right. -You!

I remember you well.

You told one of your female workers to bring the ingredients list.

Yes, there were a lot of guests that day,

and although I don't exactly remember it clearly,

the person in charge of the live kitchen was...

Can you bring me the list of ingredients for the mushi manju?

Yes, over there... I'll show you. Right this way.

Here is the ingredient list for the mushi manju.

That girl right there.

There's no doubt in my mind, it's her.

My deepest apologies.

That girl right there.

There's no doubt in my mind, it's her.

Hey, what are you just standing there for?

Don't you have something to say?

-We sincerely... apologize for-- -Please wait.

We took footage of that day for future reference

so we could check if something happened.

Would you mind checking it with me?

Was this employee the one who gave you the wrong ingredient list?

Yes, it was this girl.

Without a doubt.

Thank you for confirming.

We take this incident very seriously

and the employee in question will be held responsible

to the full extent of company regulations.

We will also thoroughly educate all employees

to prevent this from ever happening again.

Chairman, ma'am,

we are truly sorry for this incident.

Our deepest apologies.

That's enough.

Mr. Tomita,

you knew that Ms. Esaka was the one who gave them the wrong ingredient list

and you framed someone else, isn't that right?

No, no, not at all.

That day, I was also very busy and my memory is a bit jumbled.

You two must have been the culprits the first time too.

Huh?

It would be best if you left headquarters until things calm down.

I never did such careless work.

Not even my own brother believes me?

The first time?

No...

I'm just contemplating...

the fact that I couldn't trust my little sister.

Little sister?

Oh, didn't I tell you?

Good work today.

Yay!

To think you went to meet his parents in that outfit.

I said things I've wanted to say for a long time.

Did I freak you out?

I prefer the angry you... to the one that wears a false smile.

So your goal was to foist Hirano onto Esaka.

Do you think it's in bad taste?

If you're going to such lengths, I'm sure you have your reasons.

Why do you believe in me so much?

I just have an eye for people.

I could be just another bad girl.

Then I guess you've got me fooled.

I'm glad you were able to clear Miku's name.

But I still can't forgive Reina and Tomita for what they did.

I still have something to do...

regarding that incident.

Huh?

Misa.

Misa.

Hey, Misa.

I just want to clear up any misunderstandings.

It wasn't serious.

It was one time. Just one time.

Plus, I was drunk, and Reina seduced me.

She tempted me with her feminine wiles.

Come on, Misa, just listen.

You're so heartless.

Huh?

Of all people, you chose my best friend?

How could you betray me like that?

-Hey, Misa, keep your voice down-- -We were engaged!

And yet you had an affair with my best friend, Reina!

-Hey, come on, Misa, just calm down-- -I trusted you!

You're terrible!

You're so heartless!

Misa, please calm down.

Let's take some time to talk, Misa. I'm sorry.

-Misa, just try to get up. -Let go!

Did you hear?

I heard, I heard.

-Good afternoon. -Afternoon.

Hey, did you see that?

-Whoa! -Did you guys see this?

What is this?

-Hirano in Sales is a total idiot. -Yeah, seriously.

This, this, this! Unbelievable, isn't it?

Ms. Esaka, do you have a few minutes?

Okay.

Come in.

I'm Arimoto from human resources.

Please have a seat.

I spoke with Section Chief Tomita in detail

about the peanut allergy incident the other day.

According to him,

he knew that it was you, Ms. Esaka, who handed over the wrong ingredient list.

But he couldn't bring himself to speak up because you tearfully begged him

to blame it on Ms. Miku Suzuki.

It seems that Section Chief Tomita is genuinely remorseful,

but how about you, Ms. Esaka?

That's not true.

It's a misunderstanding.

I didn't do anything like that.

Miku is deceiving the Section Chief. It wasn't me.

Mr. Tomita, why would you lie about that?

Please tell the truth!

There are rumors going around the office about your bad behavior.

Honestly, I'm disappointed in you.

Ms. Reina Esaka,

the company takes this incident very seriously

and will be terminating your contract at the end of this term.

Huh?

We will pay your salary during the contractual period,

so please stay at home until December.

What do you mean?

You no longer need to come into work.

Does this mean...

I'm being fired?

I would say this is more than fair.

Misa!

Please explain what happened to human resources.

No one believes me because of Section Chief Tomita.

If it's coming from you, everyone will listen, right?

Please.

I always trusted you...

Reina.

Until you started sleeping with my husband.

I decided to start over with Tomoya.

He told me...

that what happened with you was a mistake.

It was just a fling.

So I guess you were just being toyed with, huh?

I'm sorry,

but please forgive Tomoya.

I think I'm going to forgive him too.

Because our relationship cannot be broken over something this petty.

I'll even forgive you too.

Because you have no friends, no job,

and nobody would choose you.

That's just beyond sad and pathetic.

Reina.

I'll invite you to the wedding, okay?

TOMOYA HIRANO

Morning! Can we talk today? Are you gonna ignore me forever?

Text me back Come on, please...

I wanna see you

If you keep ignoring me, I'm going to start getting ideas

Sorry! I had to work today. I'll text you later!

I'm sorry. Take your time.

SORRY

MISA_0816 UPLOADED A NEW PHOTO

THANK YOU AS ALWAYS #DATE #MEMORIES

Hello.

This is Reina Esaka from Suzutoya Holdings.

We met the other day.

Yes.

It's been a while.

How are you?

Actually, I have something I want to discuss with you.

Can't you at least give me some of my money back?

You told me it was a sure thing. I even borrowed money from a loan shark.

So how am I supposed to pay the money back?!

Hello?

Shit!

You stupid shithead amateur! Stop giving investing advice you can't back up!

Hello?

So, no matter what Mom says, I'm going to marry Misa--

Huh?

After many rounds of improvements, we're finally ready for the unveiling.

Shine Muscat Daifuku will be on sale at Suzutoya from next year.

Please, go ahead. Yes, please help yourself.

Please, go ahead. Please.

She seems excited.

That's because she just became section chief.

I see.

Yes.

That's right. Yes.

As long as there's a substitute, I can change my fate.

Thank you very much.

Instead of Ms. Sumiyoshi quitting due to power harassment, Reina resigned.

And instead of Miku taking the blame for the peanut allergy incident,

Tomita was sent to the subsidiary.

And this man who shouldn't know anything managed to make all of it possible.

Please take a seat over here.

No, I'll help.

Then, would you mind taking over the drinks?

PRIVATE EVENT

Welcome...

Oh, hello.

-It's been a while, everyone. -Come on...

-Congratulations. -I'm glad there are some open seats.

Reina, let's sit over here. Here.

Sorry for intruding all of a sudden.

But it's okay, right?

Since we've all worked together for so long.

What are you doing?

-You haven't heard yet? -Heard what?

You couldn't tell her, huh? You're too nice, Tomoya.

What do you mean?

Right here, in my stomach...

I have a baby.

Yesterday, I went to Tomoya's house...

and talked with him and his parents.

Everyone agreed that we want to protect this new life.

Sorry, Misa.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

But... I am truly sorry...

that this happened...

and that I hurt you.

I...

Tomoya and I are getting married.

-Getting married? -What's going on?

Oh my god...

-That's terrible... -Seriously?

What?

I won.

I won!
