Renko said that?

She said she was going to meet you here today.

At the time, Renko had a meeting with Ryuichi.

Cheers.

"From here,"

"Your story begins,"

"The road goes on and on."

"If the rainbow-coloured rain pours down,"

"The sky will come alive."

"Behind your radiant smile,"

"There's a sorrowful sound."

"Next to each other with the present,"

"Like this is sweet."

"If we clasped hands, it would be warm,"

"If you hate it, we'll go our own ways."

"One by one, you'll become your own,"

"The road goes on."

Ah! Now that you mention it, that was today, wasn't it?

I certainly arranged it with Renko.

I mistook it for tomorrow,

But we arranged for Friday... Today! It's today!

So then, where's Renko?

Surely Renko is at the bookstore!

Renko loves books, so when she goes to the bookstore,

She becomes engrossed and loses track of the time!

Hana's heart raced.

Would this kind of deception pass by him?

In any case, this was Kano Densuke.

Do you like cider?

Cider is the water of dreams. Huh?

The first time I had it,

I couldn't believe that something so delicious

Existed in this world.

I was like that too!

The bill! You're going back so soon?

I can't talk to you about books.

That's all I have to talk about.

Ah! Um, what about this! It's fine.

Uh, thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

I thought if you would be annoyed if I brought you here.

Well,

I wanted you to bring me to the shop you always go to.

The oden and sake is delicious.

May I have seconds?

There aren't customers who say, "May I have" here.

What do I say then?

Uncle, a cold one. Yeah.

There are so many things I don't know in this world.

What is it?

I didn't think you would write all this

In just a week.

How do you like it?

It precisely conveys your passions.

Yes.

But you should change the second half.

...Why?

It's quite a good script, but it's not the best.

As it is now, having the husband's wife

Involved in an affair, ending in suicide,

Has been written about countless times and is a worn out story.

I only write things once, I don't revise them as a rule.

It'll be White Lotus' greatest masterpiece.

Please abandon that rule.

Uncle, a cold one.

Yeah!

I managed to order!

So then, please take the challenge and revise it.

You're a stubborn person.

Surely it's you.

Excuse me.

Ren...

Hana, how do you do?

How do you do.

Please.

I thought you would be surprised seeing me so suddenly,

But you don't seem like it.

Hana, did you meet my husband? Yeah.

I was worried. Where did you go?

I just went to meet a friend.

A friend?

Excuse me.

Brother...

Well! It's been a long time!

How do you do, Kichitaro?

Renko, you shouldn't associate with that man any further.

Why are you here so unexpectedly? Who's 'that man?'

Miyamoto Ryuichi.

Kichitaro, how do you know?

The worlds you live in are different!

Do you know Miyamoto that well?

Anyway, please don't see him anymore.

Brother!

Why...

Ren, you lied to your husband about meeting me

And met that man?

Yes.

Miyamoto is putting on a play and asked for a script.

That's the only reason I'm friends with him.

He's not suspicious. Today was so much fun too.

Even though you have such a fine husband,

What are you talking about...

I thought you would've been proud, having a husband like that,

You should've been honest with him.

I didn't expect you to be praising him.

Well, I wonder if there's anything good about him.

Ren...

Anyway, you can't have an affair.

You're overthinking it!

I'm not that foolish.

Surely your love with Muraoka is going better than mine?

What's wrong?

After that, I told him how I felt...

My!

So many things happened that day,

And the next day...

He told me, "Please forget about it."

Huh?

Basically, he rejected me.

Huh?! Why?!

"Why?" I wanted to ask him!

Now, there's a big hole in my chest.

Hana...

Boss, there's a guest.

Who is it?

How do you do?

Renko...

How do you do. Sorry for the other day.

How do you do?

Muraoka.

Yes?

I would like to speak with this Muraoka,

May I?

I would like to discuss a book.

Please, please!

White Lotus, please publish your next work with us.

White Lotus! You're...

Dad, don't just stand there.

I'll get straight to the point. Okay.

Why did you say, "Please forget about it?"

Hana said it's like a hole has opened in her chest.

Are you fine with that?

Are you fine with hurting Hana like that?

I can't hurt her any further.

You...

You're hiding something from Hana, aren't you?

It's unfair to run away without facing her properly.

For Hana's sake, you have to face her for sure.

These illustrations are really lovely!

I wonder who drew them? Huh?

Was it an anonymous artist?

Well, something like that.

Ando, the phone. Yes.

..Is that Hanako? It's Muraoka.

Hello?

Yes, what can I do for you?

Could we meet tonight, once you finish with work?

I have something important to say.

You can say it now. What is it?

No, I want to meet you and say it.

Is tonight not good for you?

No...

6 o'clock at the cafe then.

I understand.

Are you done with the phone?

Yes, sorry.

Once again, Hana's heart was in a storm of palpitations.

Until then, farewell.
