Original subtitles

Good morning.

This is to correct the job description of mine.

Please grant my request.

Shinkai!

What is this?

"First, the sales assistant is not a secretary."

"I won't do the secretary work".

I won't do it.

"Second, sales assistants are not salesmen."

I will not make the presentation for salesmen.

I won't do it.

Third, the sales assistant is just an assistant...

...and won't train salesmen."

I won't do it.

I can't allow that!

Then, I will go to work like this from now on!

What does this mean?

Won't you mind if I meet clients and dressed like this?

I'll have blond hair, the one who smokes...

...and lift my boots to the table during the meeting...

...and take a nap. You have no problem with that?

You don't have a problem with that?

Hey, Kosei-san.

When will that person from yesterday come again?

That pleasant-scented person?

You mean Kureha?

Kureha, she was in my dream the other day.

This means love, right?

How do I know?

- By the way, who is this? - I don't know.

Please! There's no one else I can ask for help.

People kneel on the floor for the sake of an accountant?

Rarely.

Only you can save me, Nemoto-sensei.

Accountants save people too?

I'm also a tax accountant and I do both.

Please, help me!

How? Hmm...

Namamu Katsumata?

Yes, that's me.

I told you many times, your company has a problem.

There are no tax accountants in Japan who wants to sign the tax document to hide such deficit.

Our credibility will be shattered if it will be found out.

But he said he wanted it to be signed here.

Can you throw him out? To Tokyo Bay or Yumenoshima.

Yumenoshima?

That doesn't exist anymore? Then, on a far place.

What?

- Fine. - Hey.

Please! Nemoto-sensei.

- Please! There's no one else but you! - Don't make a scene here.

"Nemoto, Tax Accountant" You will what?

"5 tap" It's not open?

It's open.

Okay.

You won't come in?

I will.

Welcome.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Akira, apparently, you look different today.

You changed your style?

Many things have happened.

- You're right. - You're very slow.

Don't always look at their clothes.

Kosei-chan, you're only interested...

...with those inside the clothes, right?

Isn't everyone more interested in what's inside?

Can you not see me like I'm a perverted person?

Thinking it deeply means more perverted.

The inside also means the heart.

I don't think you are like that.

I'll have one tap.

Okay.

I'll have Isemaruya Brown Ale.

Good.

What about these boots?

You don't understand this too?

You are not really interested.

We'll start.

How?

This time, "calm down".

Calm down?

- It's very hot right now. - Yes.

This is on spring mode, but we ask them to order warm clothes.

So I want to feel the cold wind.

Okay.

"Quiet" is when the wind and waves calm down.

So, the wind should be added?

Soft wind.

Soft?

Soft and cool.

Soft?

Kureha-chan, I heard you're married?

- Right. - What?

With whom?

What is your husband's job?

It's a secret.

So, Kureha's style is to show your determination against your president?

Yes, but...

This is a disaster!

Shinka's rebelling against me.

"Shinkai's rebelling."

"Rebelling?" "Shinkai?"

"...her actions to the president?"

"Rebelling?"

"She's really old-fashioned!"

"LATEST NEWS" "Shinkai, of the sales department, is rebelling."

They said you rebelled.

Don't be swept away by those words!

They used the word "rebellious"...

...and treat me like...

I'm a pitiful middle school student.

I don't understand how did you change your clothes.

I need the momentum.

Can I have a double tap?

Cool, you can start on Monday.

The President went three days to Shenzhen for a business trip.

I was allowed to take a leave while he was gone for a while.

Really?

He will respond to my demands when my work is over.

That's a good news.

For the meantime.

Here you are, Kosei!

Welcome.

You're late.

I went far to get rid of that person.

How far did you go?

- Kosei-san, who's that? - You're too close.

A customer.

- You're too close. - It's real.

It looks like I'm in love.

Huh?

- That's perfect. - What?

Akira-san.

You want to fall in love, right?

Really? Do you want to fall in love?

He said he wanted to "fall in love with something".

You don't need to sound so condescending.

I'm Saburo Okamochi.

I'm Akira.

- You're a little too close. - You're too close.

It's off limits to flirt women here!

Hey!

You're too close. Sit there.

Hey, think also of privacy.

If you don't have consideration for privacy, hey!

Do you hear me? You will be hated if you violate her privacy!

Kosei, she has a pleasant scent.

Pleasant?

I can't help myself. I might fall in love.

For the meantime, don't smell the scent.

Yes, I will be careful.

Kosei-san! Wait, no. Akira-san!

Entrust love to me. I can fall in love immediately.

Immediately?

Very cheap.

Is there expensive love?

I don't know about that expensive or cheap thing,

but you have fallen in love.

That is...

I often hear that,

but I think people like that fall in love easily.

Eh?

What? I'm not good? I'm too short-sighted?

That's not it. It's just that it's difficult for me.

I also have never felt falling in love at first sight.

Saburo-san, anything is okay?

One which is not bitter.

Not bitter?

- Can I do it myself? - What?

Do you want to see the goods behind?

What? Do you have some? Yes!

Looks like you heard the sound of a bell.

Hmm?

Kureha. He said he heard the sound of the bell when he met his destined to be.

The bell that rings when we fall in love?

I want to hear its sound.

"Kemono Ni Narenai Watashitachi" ("Weakest Beast")

Huh? From Akira-chan.

She said that she bought new clothes, what the city was like. She answered.

"Strong clothes".

Strong?

Maybe there are nails on it.

I...

...can't defend myself.

So, I can only change one thing...

"Notice of Rental Extensions"

"Mother, the stamp has been received."

"Look"

"Akira's work seems heavy. Kyoya, please support her."

The work is strenuous.

Why doesn't she stop?

She can't be that easy to be stopped.

I stopped not because of my own desires!

What's the matter with that?

"Yumeko Matsutoya"

Hello.

The contract is not here.

Huh?

The contract for Pit Company.

It should have been sent yesterday,

but they called saying they didn't have it.

Pit Company is Ueno's job to be done.

He returned here but his not present this time.

I'm on leave today.

That's a problem. I don't know what to do if I'm alone.

The phone doesn't stop ringing!

It won't stop?

It sounds like that.

Shinkai-san! I'm glad you are here!

The contract is the responsibility of the sales department, right?

I'm sorry.

The document might be in Ueno's house.

He doesn't want to answer the phone. He is absent from work.

Yesterday too, right?

That's it! A young child who stopped coming to the office one day.

This is a serious matter.

If he stops, your workload will increase again.

Wait! You don't want to take over?

There are differences in our abilities.

I also don't want to!

Shinkai, you knelt down in the lobby, right?

Knelt down?

Production Manager of Haraguchi Amakusa Pharmaceuticals...

...brag about it and say, "I'm bad."

I won't even knelt down for the old man.

Shinkai-san is an amazing one.

That's because Matsutoya should…

Then what about the contract? Should we call the president?

- That's not a good idea. - That's impossible.

Then...

"Hatsu Ueno" This is delicious.

That's a very popular vla pudding.

I like vla pudding.

Yes, I saw you eating it at lunch.

In my opinion, it would be good ...

...if you carry the contract for the Pit Company.

That's yourclient.

It must be hard to get back to work after disappearing for two days.

The President is on a business trip, so, I don't know this yet.

It's not too late if you do it now.

I'm not good at this job.

You only worked less than six months.

If you stop now, you won't get employment benefits.

You don't have a new job yet, what will you do now?

Do you have savings?

Your credit card has passed up limit, right?

I don't have dreams or savings.

If so, why not work longer?

Shinkai, you don't understand.

You are the president's favorite employee and you finish your work on time.

You don't understand how difficult is this for me.

So,...

...will you stop working?

Please don't say it like that!

I don't want to stop from work.

I also don't want to continue working but Idon't know what to do.

You won't understand that.

I understood that.

I'm not sure that I should continue to do a couple of things...

...or give up. I can't decide.

Shinkai, can I like you?

What?

May I like you...

Wait!

I'm here for work.

I'm not here because you like me.

I'm only here for work.

I know, but I just want to hope for it.

Love is a privilege.

Even though I can date because of a miracle,

it will just end if I'm not financially stable.

Really?

Can you fall in love if you can't eat for tomorrow?

Can you think of your lover when your life stops on the spot?

Love is intended for people who have something more.

I don't have anything more, so I have nothing.

But if there is someone I like in the office,

if I know I can see it in the office,

then it's a motivation for me to go to work every morning.

I don't want to date you.

I just want someone like that!

"Yumeko Matsutoya"

Matsutoya-san, I'm still on leave.

I have a plan tonight, so, he won't come to the office...

...whatever happens.

He entered in the office.

Eh?

Ueno!

He came and brought a contract for the Pit Company.

You're amazing, Shinkai-san. How did you do it?

Ueno said something strange...

...that is, "Shinkai-san is my goddess from now on."

That's good. See you later.

Thank you for waiting.

You have a proof of payment for this?

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Here it is.

There should be no problem with the credit.

Our business performance this year is good.

I might buy a Ferrari.

That's good,

but you can't just remove it if it's for personal use.

Just a little?

If you want to take that risk, look for another tax accountant.

Nemoto-san, you are very strict.

Haneda. I was taken to the Haneda Pier.

At first, I didn't know. There is no bus stop nor train station.

Maybe, you should take by an airplane.

I don't have much time to file the return.

I need the name and signature of a tax accountant...

...to extend a credit check at a bank.

If not, we will go bankrupt.

Please!

Please don't do it here.

This is not fair. You make me look bad.

Why are you taking a photo? Hey!

I will sue you if you uploaded it on the Internet.

I really hate people who kneel down before me.

Sensei! Please!

Akira! Here.

Sorry. I'm late.

No. Walking upstairs is a bit difficult.

Shinkai's here! It's been a long time.

- You haven't changed much. - Shinkai!

- It's been a while. Chief! - Long time no see!

It's been a long time.

You look beautiful.

- Long time no see. - Hello.

Who is that?

Shinkai-san, who was an apprentice before.

She is popular.

She's my lover, so, don't disturb her.

Shinkai, do you want beer?

Yes, thank you.

Is it okay for you to cut-off at work?

Yes, I'm on leave today.

- Good. - Yes.

I miss you!

Thank you so much.

Shinkai, is the meat ready?

Yes, it's ready. Wait a minute.

Please.

Akira, let me just do it. You just sit and enjoy this drink.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I remember now! I'm a witness of that!

The first conversation between Hanai and Shinkai...

At the end of the year party. You're still known to the public...

...so it's about six years ago.

Kobayashi-san, the whiskey mixed with hot water is ready.

This is plum. You want it with plums, right?

- Yes. - Okay.

Are you a rookie employee in the commercial facilities development?

Yes.

You don't have to do it. We can make it by ourselves.

Shinkai-san!

- Shinkai-san! - Yes.

Whiskey with hot water.

Yes.

Make it by yourself!

Hey! Come here!

It's okay.

Excuse me.

Hey!

Sorry about that.

Okay!

Shinkai-san.

Yes.

Shinkai-san, I'm here now. It's good to work with you.

Thank you.

Shinkai, sorry I made you work late.

It's okay. I want to save to move out and I'm even grateful for it.

Will you move out? Move to your lover's house?

No.

I rushed myself to choose my current apartment.

The place is old and narrow.

It's good to have a nice house.

Hanai-san, you bought an apartment, right?

The one which is just simple.

Well, you can buy it in your 20's.

I am a dealer, so I got a lot of real estate information.

If the value is large, then I can sell it again.

You want to get an apartment?

No, the rookie cannot afford the apartment.

What if you become a permanent employee here?

You're a fast-counting and a great worker.

Even though I want to be a permanent employee,

there are no vacancies in the middle of the year.

Wait...

Everything! Look here!

I got the block seven property in Shinmachi.

A round of applause for Hanai!

Wait for a second.

Shinkai helped me a lot.

Applause for Shinkai!

Are you isolated inside the company?

It seems like that.

My girlfriend doesn't get along with me well.

She said she wanted to stop, every day.

I see, Ok. Why she doesn't stop?

Yes, I also said that,

...but she has no savings and can't afford to pay the rent.

So, I invited her with me to stay together.

You said that?

Yes. If she can stop after that, it's better, right?

Yes. If she can stop.

She can find suitable jobs without being in a hurry.

That's amazing. I respect you, Hanai.

Sincerely?

Yes.

I think your lover must be happy.

"The manager pisses me off, so I quit."

What's up?

My boyfriend stops again from his part-time job.

Again? Isn't that too fast?

He can't maintain his work.

My girlfriend too.

Again?

She doesn't come to job interviews and is still unemployed.

If I talk, she gets angry. I don't know what to do.

We both have a problem, then.

Right. Work is my way of escaping.

I see. I am most satisfied when working.

Will we get the next contract?

You can do it.

It depends with your help, Shinkai-san.

It depends on the delicious food you will treat for me.

Fine. Delicious meat or fish.

Yes! That's good!

This one.

Thank you.

Shinkai-san worked hard as a rookie employee for two years.

Actually, there were many rookie employees here,

but this is her last day.

I learned a lot here.

Next, I will work as a permanent employee...

at EC Site Company...

...which is the information I got from Hashizume.

Visit us!

Sure.

Thank you.

Sorry, I forgot something.

We will really miss you.

Thank you.

Good job.

Tsukumo, president of skilled people.

You will be fine.

- Thank you for everything. - Yes.

Everyone, thank you.

Thank you!

Good! Come on!

- Yes! - Yes!

- Thank you! - Thank you!

See you later!

- I'll wait for 20 minutes. -Shinkai!

Eh?

You're very fast.

I didn't have time to talk to you just now.

Fresh?

This is a refreshing mint!

Thank you for waiting.

That's great!

Then, I will excuse myself.

- Can you eat that? -I'm hungry.

- Do you want to? -That's kinda...

What is your dream when you were little?

I watched a movie called Apollo 13 when I was little,

So, I want to be an astronaut.

Astronauts are recruited...

...only once, every ten years.

For example, if there are 1,000 applicants,

Okay.

Then how many can become astronauts?

One?

What? Wait a minute.

What? Do you think so?

What? This is very light.

What? This is tasty.

What? Do you think so?

Yes, really.

What? Did you realize there are two types of broth soup?

What do you mean?

That's their fault.

But the next...

Sorry, we will close for a moment.

Thank you for coming.

There are no more buses, right?

Yes, no more. I'll go home by train.

Remote train station. Just take a taxi.

Is there a taxi here?

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Sorry.

It's okay...

I guessed it when you worked in our company.

We started to get in touch after she stopped.

There was nothing while we work together, right?

Nothing.

We are suitable as office mates and good friends.

What do you like about Hanai?

You are very frank.

I think we shared a lot while working.

I'm not easy to fall in love with.

That's already in the past.

What?

This is love based on the past. You're already a stable person.

Why aren't you married?

Eh?

What? Did you live together?

What? Shouldn't have I say that?

Wait, did I tell you, Kakei?

You said your electricity bill is very high.

I said, it's your fault. Then you said it's because of your housemate.

If you were together, why not say it before!

That's it. Sorry we didn't say anything about it.

We were very busy, so we did not get married soon.

So, we agreed to keep it a secret.

- I see, okay. - You let the lights turn on?

The weather is hot so I turn on the air conditioner, then I go out.

He got angry.

You shouldn't be angry!

Please tell him!

You really...

It's too mature.

I also have my own maturity.

I'm sorry.

You bought these boots. You said these shoes are cool.

What are you being sorry for?

You lied to all in order to protect me.

That I made you wait.

Forgive me.

I want to like someone else.

I'm just joking.

- Kureha-san! - Yes.

The blueprint and design have arrived. This one.

Oh?

This is good.

This is great. It looks good with a black shelf.

You're right.

Hey!

I changed your name. Add a signature and return it to me.

Thank you, sir.

Is it finished? Your pamphlet?

Not yet. Do you like to wear women's clothes?

Not for me. Fan Kureha wants it.

Who?

You have met her at 5Tap.

She saw the poster and searched for that local brand on Google.

That's good. Great!

She might be a good target because he might have money.

Don't call my prospective customers the target.

Kureha!

The other clothes have arrived!

Good! Thank you.

One more thing.

A question from your fan.

What does the bell sounds like?

Bell?

The bell which you hear when you fall in love.

You don't really hear it.

You will hear it. The whole world is bright...

...and the bell rings.

Good, but how?

That one! Saint Andrews?

Like the bell of Saint Andrews Church.

Where is that?

That's the closest.

Andrew?

What are you doing?

I am looking for the sound whether it is on the Internet.

That's not it. You won't understand it if you listen to it on your cellphone.

The bell rings inside your head.

You're like surrounded by a bell.

Surrounded?

Channel 5.1?

Let the bell ring in your head too, huh?

What about me?

You heard the time with me?

The bell doesn't ring.

But I like you a little first, Kosei.

See you later!

Little?

Shuri, can you stop that and come here for a minute?

"Chiharu"

Your job seems difficult. Do you have a scary boss...

...or an annoying coworker there?

There are people in this world who try to stop their tears ...

...with someone else's tears.

Don't shout it. Live freely.

"Freedom is the best!"

If there's something you need, tell Kyoya.

He is a very reliable person.

"Leave it to me."

Here. Choose one of these and move out from here this month.

I'll finance your moving out of here. I'll pay your first month's rent.

Then, what's after?

How do I have to live?

You say, I can stay here until I get a job.

You don't intend to find a job.

You just play video games and read comics every day.

You live your life by pushing yourself out of everything.

If so, then you shouldn't have invited me to stay with you.

If you did not invite me, I won't stop working...

...or move here.

At that time, you seemed to suffered mentally...

I'm still suffering at this moment.

Hey, Shuri. You understood and agreed to break up with me four years ago.

I said it's okay.

We have already broken up,...

...you and your lover seemed happy, so there's no problem.

You are so selfish.

You're wrong.

You can wait until I get a job.

Wait!

Please wait!

Take a look at this. This is my family. My son is still small.

I am responsible for them.

Like you said,

there are no honest tax accountants who want to sign...

...and false tax returns other than Nemoto-san!

I think there is a misunderstanding here.

No.

Please!

You know...

Don't you have your pride?

Pride?

Pride?

That damn pride!

I am responsible for my family and the company!

Responsible...

You choose to be responsible for your family and for the company.

You're not even that cool.

This time you're stuck and asking for help? That's selfish.

If you kneel and beg with tears, will it be finished?

Your company is having a hard time because you're soft-hearted.

You're too hard.

Sometimes, we take responsibility for believing that's the best choice at that time.

Nobody knelt because he wanted that.

- Why are you... - Huh?

...angry?

No, I'm not angry.

I'm a realistic person. I don't take responsibility if I can't.

I hate people who make empty promises.

What will you do...

...if you're willing to have pity and be put into trial?

Trial?

Companies that can only survive with fraud must be closed.

My company ...

I risk my life for the company.

Your company is valuable to you, but the company is messed up, right?

Listen,...

...you need amateur cleverness to do illegal things.

Even though you last a year more, will you be free of debts?

Will you raise the one that said 50 million yen?

I guess, you can't.

If you can't do it, you have to keep cheating on it.

With your family that you call valuable,

will you live in fear and be revealed someday?

Isn't that like hell?

I can help you close your company.

Akira-san, will you listen to his life problems?

"Tax Accountant" What will he do?

That's not an easy decision.

In my opinion, there are things that we cannot decide.

Those who do not make decisions do not intend to decide.

In my opinion, there are things that we cannot choose even if we want.

Why are you excited about this?

There are things like that.

Really?

I don't want to go there for now.

I didn't ask you.

It's about Kureha and the sound of the bell.

What?

That's the church in Hakuraku.

It sounds like that bell.

Yes.

Maybe I can hear it if I search it on Google.

You'll look for it, huh?

She said, that's not it.

Kureha got annoyed.

Okay.

Where is Hakuraku?

Why don't you search it on Google?

Does Kureha-san came from this place?

She is from Aoyama.

This city.

She has a friend here.

She has many friends.

Humans lose a lot of abilities during the evolutionary process.

Hearing, sight,...

...smell and instinct.

The greater the increase in our ability to think...

...using our developing brain,...

...our instincts are not sharp.

Is that the evolution?

If we open it to improve,...

...the level of our culture, then, yes.

If you think we lost the ability to hear the bell, then it's devolution.

Then what about Kureha-san?

She's a wild one.

She is an instinctive and emotional being.

- That's good. - What?

How can it be like that?

The church.

You don't wear those boots?

It is being cleaned because of the dropped sauce.

Sauce?

Yes, barbecue sauce.

You're still young.

That's my company's previous habit.

Previous? Why did you go there?

It's almost 5:00 a.m.

What's up?

Yes. The church bell...

I was told the bell rings every 5:00 a.m.

Yes.

I see.

Yes.

See you later.

The bell did not rang now.

There are complaints about the noise.

It only rings during Sunday Mass and special events.

It's hard to live.

That's evolution.

No, devolution.

Sorry, I already joined with you.

It's okay. I also want to hear it.

Is that a song back there?

Listen.

That's the bell.

Isn't it?

I cannot feel this one.

Then, it's not this.

What? You went there to hear it? To the church?

That's the way it is.

We went there.

That's not it. That's about impressions.

It's not good because you think using your brain! Right?

That's right.

You're stupid.

Stupid!

What?

In just a few days?

- Shinkai-san, good morning! - Good morning.

I'm waiting for you. For real!

I'm not happy at all.

What's that?

Huh?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Ueno! Why are you hiding there?

Can you share this gift?

Yes.

Good morning.

Good morning. You make this place very neat.

Have you finished rebelling?

I only demand a refinement of my job description...

I know.

I think about it carefully...

...while looking at a very large tiger.

I want you to do everything even though you're an assistant.

I'm sorry.

So, I have decided.

Akira Shinkai! I appoint you to be the special head of the creator of sales!

Eh?

What?

Cheer up! You rise in rank. Your salary and bonus goes up!

What about my job description?

We'll discuss it later. We will be flexible about that.

It's just the same as before...

Applause for Shinkai-san! Creator's special head!

Great! You're amazing, Shinkai!

Congratulations for your promotion.

Head!

"ANNOUNCEMENT" "Akira Shinkai is appointed as the creator's special head."

I said that on the other day, bankruptcy is not the only option.

Use the law of civil rehabilitation or arbitration scheme...

... or submit voluntary withdrawals.

The person whom I have constulted first said my only choice is to file a bankruptcy.

That's why I'm looking for a tax accountant who wants to sign it.

The process of filing a bankruptcy is easier.

That's why many lawyers recommend it.

This is a list of honest law firms who specializes in the corporate reconstructuring.

Contact them.

Don't slip again. If it slips, then it's done.

Thank you.

I will think carefully about what you said to me.

This is not what was told to me.

I was told you can sign a false document.

"Nemoto, Certified Public Accountant, Tax Accountant"

Thank you for your ongoing business.

This act is cheap.
