kimi ga hai ta shiroi iki ga The white breath you exhale

Directed By Yamashita Nobuhiro

ima, yukkuri kaze notte Is slowly riding in the wind

sora ni ukabu kumo no naka ni And little by little vanishing

sukoshi zutsu kie te yuku Inside the clouds up in the sky

tooku takai sora no naka de From inside the high and faraway sky

te o nobasu shiroi kumo The white clouds reach out to you

kimi ga hai ta iki o sutte And drink the white breath you exhale

As the day comes to an end,

and people make their way home,

my own day begins.

~ Traditional Tonjiru ~ 600 yen ~ Beer ~ 600 yen, ~ Sake ~ 500 yen ~ Shochu ~ 400 yen Max. three drinks per customer

My menu is all there.

The possibility of getting served anything else...

as long as it's possible,

my business model.

I am open from midnight to seven of the morning after.

People call this...

Midnight Restaurant.

How is business doing?!

Well enough, I'd say.

~ WITHS2 4th Anniversary Special ~ SHINYA SHOKUDO - midnight restaurant

Episode 7 Egg Sandwich

If you tell me anything you'd like,

I'll make it for you if possible.

I guess...

traditional tonjiru will do.

Coming.

Can I shoot a photo?

I want to post it on my blog.

Blog?!

It's a kind of diary you write on your PC.

Have no problem with that,

but make sure you don't promote this place.

That's weird.

Uh? Why?

Most people actually ask me for a photo, to get some publicity.

Is that so?

Here you go.

I'm aspiring to become a talent*. [*TV actress]

Although I'm probably busier working part time at our family restaurant.

I see... So that's why you blog...

If I can get even just a little bit of publicity....

Seems like he'll be here soon.

Good morning.

Morning.

Can you make me an egg sandwich?

I also made you ones with cucumber and ham.

Thank you.

If you'd like to, go ahead.

Uh?!

May I?

Thank you.

Is something on my face?

No...

Just seemed like you were enjoying it.

Are there any decent men left out there?!

It was a disaster.

We should have just remained at home watching TV.

Those ads were just a farce.

What could it be?

They went to, what is it, an omiai party or something?

Here. Beer and macaroni salad.

Master.

Didn't one of them go back to her hometown?

Looks like her mother has gotten better.

Master!

Ochazuke.

- Ochazuke. - Ochazuke...

Coming.

And I thought without one they'd become a little more docile.

Did you?

You two over there.

Yes?

Don't just mumble by yourselves, you men!

Dammit.

As if any of you losers are any different.

Bragging as if you're anything special.

Stop talking about yourselves alone, will you?

All you can find at those meetings are the leftovers, after all.

Losers, minions and nothing else.

Right?!

Look who's talking....

So, tell me,

what kind of man would you like to date?

Someone who's not a good for nothing,

who spares his words,

who has only eyes for me.

The type who might be popular with women,

but can only love one.

Like Takakura Ken?

Right!

Also, he must make over 10 million yen a year,

have a house with a garden in Setagaya.

Also, no eldest sons!

Since you'd have to look after his parents.

That's quite important...

Right?!

The hell is that?

Also, a villa abroad!

About a week after...

Egg sandwich, please.

Coming.

You know, that day?

I was contacted for a gravure shoot!

Although it was just a throwaway gig.

But it seems like eating egg sandwich here brings me luck.

It's just an egg sandwich.

That guy, the other day...

What does he do for a living?

He should be here soon, so wait.

Uh? He's coming tonight?

Yeah.

Every night.

Morning.

Morning.

Thank you for the egg sandwich the other day.

Ahh... It's nothing.

If it's okay with you, let me pay back the courtesy.

Thank you.

That kiddo...

is paying his college tuition by delivering papers.

Looks like things aren't going well for his family.

I see...

During holidays, instead of delivering papers,

he brings me bread, like the other day.

I should have given him the whole plate, then.

He must be so hungry...

It's all right.

He said he always has breakfast waiting for him at work.

They look good together, don't they, Master?

Just seeing them makes me feel elated.

What, have you met them before?

The girl comes here around the time when he delivers papers,

and then gives him half her egg sandwich,

while he looks embarrassed as he takes it.

That's so nice of her.

So what, you're always so piss drunk you spend the whole night here?

Isn't it, Master?

Now that I think about it, you're right.

So it's not "midnight restaurant," but the lovebirds' "Dawn Restaurant."

Although it's okay with me.

So he's on a scholarship...

You rarely see students working to pay their college fees in this day and age.

He's quite something.

Do you even realize?

How hard that is.

Every day,

you wake up at three in the morning when it's still dark,

and start delivering papers a half hour later.

By the time you're done, it's already half past six,

after which you wrap up things at work, and head to school.

Good morning.

Then, you pay attention to your lesson, fighting off the urge to sleep.

Once the lecture is done, you go deliver the evening papers.

Even if your friends call you out for a drink....

Nakajima, let's have a drink.

Sorry... Have to go...

So you can't even make friends.

You complete deliveries past six in the evening,

and without a minute to spare,

prepare the next day's morning papers for delivery.

And then you have to study,

and the infernal loop starts again with the morning papers after a little sleep.

It's hard.

Living that life.

Kanemoto-san.

How come you know that so well?

Because I've experienced it firsthand.

Ohh... You can't really judge a book by its cover, all right.

But after I learned this,

I failed at both.

Drinking is scary.

So.... That way...

Sorry.

Nah.

I should feel sorry for keeping you on the phone for so long at that hour.

Sorry.

So what is this thing you couldn't tell me on the phone?

I was wondering what you think of me.

That...

I like you, Nakajima-kun.

- I.... - Excuse me!

Are you Aikawa Risa-san, by any chance?

Yes.

It's her!

I'm a fan.

Thank you very much.

I'll keep supporting you.

Thank you.

Keep uo the good job.

Thank you.

- We'll keep supporting you. - Thank you.

- What is she doing here? - Right? Totally awesome!

You still haven't answered me.

The world you and I live in...

is so different...

That girl, she's showing up on TV pretty often these days, isn't she?

Seemed so.

There's no need to worry.

No matter how busy they are, they'll end up together.

The world out there isn't as easy as you think.

Here she starts again.

One is a up and coming talent, the other a delivery boy.

It's not just a little difference.

They're of a different class altogether!

In this world of ours,

be it the Arisu's downstream or midstream,

don't belittle life.

About Scene 19.

Give it a look before we go.

"Nakajima here, how's things? Sorry for the other day, can we meet again..."

~ Exit? ~

~ Checking Incoming Messages ~

~ No Messages ~

~ Secret Late Night Meeting Between Aikawa Risa and IT President ~

See? Just as we told you.

See? You can't trust women.

Losers in tears, how miserable.

Thank you.

What are you doing here,

at this hour?

Tomorrow the paper is not coming out.

Here... Let's drink the night away.

Women have always been that kind of species, you know?

Drink, go ahead.

Thank you.

Listen.

What?

Will you let these two men enjoy their drink together?

I'm not talking to you.

You know?

You're really pathetic.

It's obvious you'd let another man steal her under your eyes!

If you truly have any feelings for her,

get her back!

What is that pair hanging there in the middle for, decoration?

~ Where are you? ~

~ I need to meet you and have a word ~

~ Still at the studio ~

~ We need to talk, I have something to say myself ~

Hey!

Good job.

So I hear, Risa and that president got engaged?

What is it? Didn't she care about her career even a bit?

Right.

Looks like they were going out for real.

She was just starting to get noticed, it's killing me.

Killing what...

Risa, let's go.

I have to work early in the morning, so I need some sleep.

Congrats.

Thank you.

Want some egg sandwich?

We shared this the very first day we met, didn't we?

Yes.

Yes, I'll come in right now.

Thank you for that.

So... I'll get going.

Goodbye.

Master.

You might despise me for saying this,

but will they eventually break up?

When was it...

The other day, she came here alone.

So...

That president fella finally proposed to you.

Will you accept it?

I don't know anything about this president,

so I can only take that kiddo's side.

He's a decent guy.

I know.

I do know, but...

Whenever I'm with Nakajima-kun, it doesn't feel like it used to be.

He said we live in different worlds,

and at first,

I thought I should have told him otherwise,

but I just couldn't say a thing.

Right when that happened, I met this man.

I think he's a nice person,

but I don't like him or anything of that sort.

That is why I talked to him about Nakajima-kun as well.

What did he say?

To reflect until I can't take it anymore.

Think and keep thinking about it,

and if you still can't find an answer, then it can't be helped.

Peculiar fella.

Thought so myself.

Still...

He made me feel more comfortable.

Whenever I'm with him,

I felt I could be more sincere.

So there's nice people among IT presidents as well.

As for people like me...

She came...

to properly bid farewell.

Isn't falling for a woman like that...

something you should feel proud about?

Your feelings for her were sincere,

so don't look down on that.

Reality...

is not like what you find in the movies.

Nakajima-kun is still delivering papers every day.

Although I think it's still too early for egg sandwich...

~ to be continued ~

First things first, finely chop the boiled egg.

Mayo fits with just about everything, doesn't it?

But if you use too much, it'll cover the taste of eggs,

so use just enough to make it sticky and nothing more.

Add just the right doses of salt and pepper.

Ahh! Master...

Use this for me.

So... Good night everyone!

Dad, why did you abandon me?

Are you resenting your parents?

This comes from Shimanto.

Someone told me.

Can you add eggs to yakisoba (fried noodles)?
