Masugu, you're furrowing
your brows a bit too much.

You too.

How's it going?

I'm making some progress,
but it's pretty difficult after all.

Hey, let's both make goals for next year!

We regularly study together like this
in preparation for the goals

we promised during our summer trip.

How about you?

Me?

I'm starting over from the marketing.

I've also identified the issues in
my previous product, chocolate baumkuchen.

Wow, you've done a lot!

Well, in the end, it's still frustrating that
the sales haven't improved.

TSUDA SWEETS PRODUCT RE-MARKETING RESOURCES

It's even more noticeable
when I look over at the data again.

But I guess I just have to keep repeating
this process and move forward step by step.

My ideas for what I want to do
are piling up as well too.

I see.

I was worried because she seemed
so down back then.

But I'm glad she looks much better now.

I won't lose to you!

Same, I won't lose to you either!

I HAVE A CRUSH AT WORK

EPISODE 6: WHAT I NEED NOW

EPISODE 6: WHAT I NEED NOW
Yes, this is nicely done.

I think this direction will work for the next
season's sakura-flavored soft cookies.

Do you really mean that,
section chief?!

Only the direction, okay.

But there are still many parts that need
to improve, so please adjust them.

Well, figures...

Still, I'm making progress!
It's a good feeling.

Miss Yamano,
your product is doing so well.

It's so rare for people to succeed
in their first project.

Are you going to submit your seasonal
product to the competition?

Yes!

That's frustrating to hear, really.

But...

Alright, I just need to take my time.

Miss Mitsuya.

It's time for our meeting.

Ah, I'm coming.

Step by step, steadily and surely

Is this the meeting with
the New Business Department?

That's right.
About the department store brand.

Apparently, they want us to share
our system with them.

Department store sweets, huh?

They're sure growing fast.

Their performance shot up
right after the launch.

Even so, I really don't like this...
I'm not good with that person.

You know, that person! That one!

The former ace of the sales
department who launched

- Excuse us.
- the new business division at just 36...

None other than the incredible,

HIROMI KIRIBAYASHI (AGE 36)
None other than the incredible,

HIROMI KIRIBAYASHI (AGE 36)
ultra-talented Director Kiribayashi!

HIROMI KIRIBAYASHI (AGE 36)

The planning department's workflow
is more convoluted than I expected.

Director Kiribayashi.

The New Business Department
is on a different floor,

and it seems like he's rarely in the office,

so this is my first time meeting
Director Kiribayashi face-to-face.

You can get rid of this part.

Wow. He really doesn't hold back...

To prevent mistakes and miscommunication,
we need to follow proper steps...

But it's a waste of time, isn't it?

If it were me, I'd rather allocate
that manpower elsewhere.

Instead of locking everyone
into a rigid workflow,

I'd want a team that can think
and act independently.

We're from the same company, but his way
of thinking is different from our department...

Anyway,
no matter how much time we have,

it's never enough when it comes to
taking on the challenges we want.

It'd be a waste to keep going back and forth
for something uncertain, don't you think?

I see.

- For now, let's just begin with the manual.
- This person definitely

- For now, let's just begin with the manual.
- has a way of unsettling people.

- Please adjust it one more time.
- has a way of unsettling people.

I'm sorry! I'll be back soon!

And now I'm alone with him!

So, Miss Mitsuya...

Y-Yes?

Want to join the New Business Department?

We're still a small team, and we're right
in the middle of recruiting more talent for it.

W-What? This is so sudden...

I've heard a lot about you since
I was in the sales department.

But I've hardly accomplished anything...

Well, it's true that you don't have any
personal standout achievements so far.

I know.

That's why I'm working steadily,
step by step...

Though to you, that might
seem like a waste of time.

But I believe there's a lot
to gain from this process.

But I actually thought your chocolate
baumkuchen was a pretty good product.

He knew about my sweets?

The planning department is a big team,

and getting another project
approved won't be easy.

But if you join us, you'll flourish.

I want someone like you who has
their own ideas and ambitions.

Someone as incredible as him not
only knows about my project...

but even praises it?

Or are you not interested
in department store sweets?

Say, Miss Mitsuya... You said there's
a lot to gain from this process...

Just how much that can you gain?

That's...

Since you can't give a quick answer,
is it something that you really need?

Oh, so this is the New Business
Department's store brand.

This is my first time seeing it in person.

Even on a weekday night,
there are quite a lot of customers.

Yeah, it's popular for office ladies
who want to reward themselves.

I see.

But still, things like employee poaching
really do happen, huh?

Whoa, this is yummy!

But isn't it amazing that people
are acknowledging your effort?

Yeah, you're right.

It really is amazing, right?

It's so yummy and looks so classy too!

What kind of face is that?

Honestly, I haven't fully kept up
with everything that's happening.

Director Kiribayashi is really just...

on a whole different level.

It feels like he's completely crumbled the path

I've been walking on
and believing in beneath my feet.

Our department holds industry

- study sessions with other companies,
- The more I hear

- and we also invite external lecturers.
- about the New Business Department,

the fresher and more exciting
the offer sounds.

I think this is a great opportunity for me.

But my goal has always been to sell
my own sweets in the planning department.

Is it really okay for me to leave
my department so easily?

I can't even talk to Ucchan
and the others about it.

I keep wondering what they'd say
if I actually got transferred...

There are so many unfinished tasks and projects
I'm working on with everyone...

And also...

The condition for the competition
between us would have to change too.

Even though it was my idea.

Who the heck cares about that?!

Stop!

There goes your bad habit again!
You're overthinking it.

Listen, this is an important
turning point for you,

so think for yourself about
what you really want to do.

You're always too worried
about what others think.

T-That's not—

Come on.

If you don't hurry,
you'll miss the train.

I'll always be there to listen
if you need someone to talk to.

Just because we're coworkers and lovers,

there are some things
I can't help her with.

She's been like this a lot.

Here is the regional sales chart
for our new product.

This year, seasonal-themed sweets

performed exceptionally well,
even more than usual...

SEASONAL SWEETS
THIS FISCAL YEAR

Even if you say I'm too worried
about what others think...

It's been six years since I joined.

Even though it's a team project,

I've been entrusted with
leadership roles more often.

WHATEVER...

Micchan? What's wrong?

NEXT FISCAL YEAR

NEXT FISCAL YEAR
Ah, no, it's fine.

I have two more meetings to go to today.

Excuse me.

Ah...

There's a call from the manufacturing department
about "Marutto Pie" product.

That would be my team's responsibility.

I know about it,
so transfer the call to me.

Oh, is this about the change in specifications?

Yes, I'll pass the message along.

My position, my responsibilities...
I have a lot on my plate right now.

Miss Yamano, how are things going with
the competition of seasonal products?

Wouldn't it be better to make
this part stand out a bit more?

Then I'll try changing it to colored text.

- The prototype photos looked delicious too.
- How nice.

- The prototype photos looked delicious too.
- Miss Yamano is officially

- Thank you very much!
- Miss Yamano is officially

entering the competition.

SPRING NEW PRODUCT PLANNING

SPRING NEW PRODUCT PLANNING
The proposal I showed

SPRING NEW PRODUCT PLANNING
the section chief the other day

"SAKURA-FLAVORED SOFT COOKIE"
is still being revised.

I'm thinking of showing it to him again...

But...

He'll probably tell me
to prioritize the team instead.

Even in the assignment chart,
I'm fully designated for that.

There are so many hurdles along the way
when I'm making steady progress.

But I do think it's starting
to come together pretty well.

If I were in the new department,

would I be able to skip all of these?

TSUDA SWEETS COMPANY

Good morning.

Eh?!

An email from Director Kiribayashi?!

Materials from their last study group?

Wow, I could learn a lot from these.

- Yes, this is the Planning Department
- I really need to make a decision soon.

- of Tsuda Sweets.
- I really need to make a decision soon.

Huh? A specification change
for "Marutto Pie"?

No, we haven't heard about that.

Huh? The production process is on hold?!

Ah!

It's a relief there was no major impact
on the production schedule this time.

Yes...

I've been thinking only about myself...

A communication error is the one thing
that must never happen.

Yes...

This is just like when I was
a brand-new employee...

I know you have your own project,

but first, you need to make sure
your team is properly coordinated.

Yes.

Umm, I just need to make
a copy of these, right?

I'll help out.

Don't let it bother you, Micchan!

It happens to everyone.

Ah, thank you...

I've never made a mistake like this before...

Did I get carried away just because someone
important was paying attention to me?

Was I acting overconfident
just because I was called a leader?

How ridiculous.

I can't even get my own project submitted,
let alone approved.

I can't do this...

My head is a mess right now.

In the end, I'm doing
a half-assed job at everything!

Yui?

What's wrong?

Please...

Just for now...

...help me forget everything.

Hey, aren't you going to ask me
what happened today?

Well...

Is it about the department transfer?

I'm exactly like how you said I was.

I was so caught up
in my responsibilities and positiosn.

I was trying to look good.

And when my project
didn't move forward,

I used that as an excuse
somewhere deep down.

Then I made a stupid mistake and ended up
causing trouble for everyone.

I'm such an idiot.

At this rate, it wouldn't make a difference
no matter where I work.

I see.

That's all you have to say?!

I told you, I'm just here to listen.
Don't be lenient.

It's okay.

You're thinking for yourself
and still moving forward, aren't you?

How strange...

My head was such a mess earlier...

But when I'm with Masugu,
I can unwind and everything becomes clear.

Feeling better now?

Yes. Thank you.

It's already late.
You should stay at my place.

It's okay, I still have some stuff
to do at home.

I see.

Sorry about today.

I suddenly showed up
and even had you walking me.

It's all right.

I've never transferred departments myself,
so I don't know what the right answer is.

I don't think it's something other people
should be deciding for you.

If you ever feel hopeless like you did today,
you can always come to me.

Yes!

Oh, what a coincidence!

Have you given any thought
to that matter from before?

D-Director Kiribayashi?!

Isn't this way too sudden?!

By the way, there's another department
study group next week.

If you're interested, you should join us...

SPRING NEW PRODUCT PLANNING

SPRING NEW PRODUCT PLANNING
Is that a new product proposal

"SAKURA-FLAVORED SOFT COOKIE"
for new spring sweets?

"SAKURA-FLAVORED SOFT COOKIE"
Are you submitting one to the competition?

No, this is...

I got caught up in everything,
and I missed the submission deadline.

So what? If it's finished,
you should submit it.

They'll probably bend the rules a little.

Good ideas are precious.

But...

Ah, this happens every time I talk to him...

I believe there's no significant advantage
in taking a cautious approach.

But the truth, aren't you just scared?

Please excuse me!

What's up with him?!

He just pokes me again and says whatever he wants
without considering people's feelings!

I'm gonna do it!

Sir, please submit my proposal
to the competition!

Huh? This late?

The selection meeting
hasn't been held yet, right?

Well, yeah, that's true.

But like I said before,
it still needs revisions and final touches.

Plus, it'd be a problem if it interferes
with your work for the team.

I can do it! I'll manage it!

I mean...

If I say something like this,

people might think, "After that mistake,
what is she even thinking?"

People might call me selfish.

But...

What I really want is...

...to take on my own projects rather than
just working on team projects!

Huh? Is that so?

I'll hold on to your proposal for now
and might have to shuffle around your workload.

You'll be okay with any kind
of task right, Miss Mitsuya?

You're so cool, Micchan!

Thank you!

It's okay. It's alright to be
a little selfish and stand my ground.

No...

If I want to make my goals a reality,

I need to have the courage
to stand up for them.

My heart's still pounding.

Was Director Kiribayashi actually
trying to motivate me earlier?

Bon appétit.

In my sixth year at the company...

I'm still more inexperienced
than I thought.

Whenever I reach a dead end,
I panic and end up losing control of myself.

Alright!

SMALL MEETING ROOM 303

OCCUPIED
I'm sorry about yesterday.

OCCUPIED
I was rude and acted inappropriately.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

More importantly, did you call me out here
to give me your answer about the transfer?

Yes. I've made my decision.

I will have to decline the transfer offer.

Right now, I want to stay in the planning
department and create my own sweets.

Why?

I haven't accomplished anything
in the planning department yet.

And I don't want to abandon the goals
I set for myself halfway through.

I've gotta say it...
I'm gonna say it...

But...

Would you let me participate
in the New Business Department's study sessions?

I want to make my goals a reality!

What?

I know I'm asking too much for this.

But I realized something,
thanks to you, Director Kiribayashi.

I can't achieve anything unless
I reach out for them myself.

That's what I've been lacking all this time.

I read through the study session materials,
and they were incredible!

It was amazing to gain the industry
perspectives I had no access to.

And there were insights and perspectives
I'd never considered before.

If I join the study group,

I'll definitely create a best-selling
sweets in the planning department!

Darz's sweets are delicious and stylish.

I honestly admire them so much.

I want to use that admiration as fuel

to push myself even harder
toward my own goals.

The obstacles I face, the worries I have,
and the people I meet...

I realized that if I face them seriously,
they can all become valuable experiences.

That's why I want to take
advantage of your invitation!

This is my answer!

Oh...

Huh?

Are you a masochist?

What?!

I'm just joking.

That's because you were
being so serious there.

You even use the word "use"
with your superior!

Well, I see.

I understand, Miss Mitsuya.

I'll talk to them for you.
You may join from the next session.

Really?!

Technically, I have no obligation to go this far
for someone from another department.

But I have my own vision.

So that you can achieve results quickly
and bring a return to us.

I'll think of it as an investment
and prepare for the next study sessions.

Yes!

Thank you very much!

OCCUPIED

Honestly, I still get nervous
when I try to be brave.

And there's a lot of uncertainty ahead.

Even so...

...this is the decision I made for myself.

SPA

SPA
Stone sauna~

Hot stone saunas really
make you sweat, huh?

This week has been
way too much for her.

Yeah, yeah, just relax.

Recharge yourself.

Good grief... She was all weak
and cried so much the other day.

This girl is a real handful!

You're clinging to me more than usual.

You okay with everything going on?

So careless.

Because this is the kind of healing
I need the most.

Sweet dreams...

...Yui.
