Hey!

Tsuka, did you catch a cold?

It's the dust!

I haven't aired out this mattress for two months.

Are you going out?

Yes, on a date.

- With Mr. Shima? - Yes.

My only pleasure is to sleep on this

aired-out mattress.

What?

My earring felt off.

Where is it?

Isn't it on that side?

The angle of the fall tells me that...

Help me look!

How about over there?

I found it!

Wasn't I right?

Mr. Shima!

Hello.

Then, thank you.

Bye bye.

Have fun!

I'll do my laundry.

Are you close to Mr. Yoshimoto?

We're just neighbors.

You seem close to him.

I've never noticed him as a man.

He may see you as a woman.

I doubt that.

I don't like to see you having fun...

with other men.

That makes me happy.

It sounds like we're really dating.

Really?

Yes, really.

Tokyo Elevator Girls Ep.04 - The first time

I love the ocean.

I grew up by the ocean.

I used to pass by the beach to go to school.

Was it Shodo-shima?

Yes.

So you grew up on an island...

Where are you going?

I'm going to take it off.

I'm barefoot.

It's cold.

It looks good.

My mom did that when she cooked.

What kind of person is your mother?

She's kind and a good cook.

Aren't you from Tokyo?

I am.

You must go home often for dinner.

It's far...

I haven't been home in 4-5 years.

I always fought with my father.

My mother was always caught in between...

I didn't want her to go through that...

I think it's done.

It's hot, so use this.

Thank you.

Let's eat!

Some soy sauce...

Good morning Ms. Mizuki.

Wait...

I don't feel like going...

He's not there...

so I don't feel like going to work.

Please wait!

You don't look well...

Maybe you should see a doctor.

You're so insensitive.

Leave me alone.

I can't...

The rumor spread because

I told a friend about you and the chief.

I didn't think he would be transferred...

It is your fault...

We had to break up because of you.

You ruined everything.

I'm Tamura, and I will be replacing...

Section Chief Maeno.

Has Ms. Mizuki arrived?

She hasn't called in sick...

No, she has a cold.

I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you.

You have to be prompt.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

My name is Mizuki.

You called earlier...

I'd like to have an abortion...

Did you bring someone with you?

No.

May I join you?

Of course.

Are you worried about Ms. Mizuki?

They would've broken up eventually.

That's how affairs end.

She must've been prepared for the end.

She was dating a married man.

The man she fell in love with

just happened to be married.

It's a physiological problem...

The man sleeps with his wife.

It's like eating something another person

in her mouth.

- I wonder... - I'm right.

You don't know...

Because I'm a virgin?

So you understand.

I know how you think.

Ms. Mizuki, please come inside.

What are you looking at?

The screen's there.

How many have you had?

Kisses.

I don't remember.

You've kissed that many times?

No, so little times...

That was my first.

Oh, I see...

You're belittling me.

Why?

That may've been one of many kisses to you,

but for me...

I was so nervous I don't remember it...

But I'll never forget that we kissed.

You seem different from all the girls I've dated.

Would you like to come over to my place?

Come inside.

Is beer okay?

- I can take it off. - Let me.

Yes?

I seem to do it often?

It's very neat...

I always put away the things I use.

Have a seat.

So many books...

Did you read all of them?

I have to for advertising.

You're pretty straitlaced.

Yes, about work.

What about with girls?

You don't have to go home tonight, do you?

Drunk?

So are you.

So what if a guy turned you down?

How did you know?

Drink!

Drink...

It's been a while since you cried.

The last time was when Mom died.

I win.

I see.

Umm...

Go ahead.

No, you.

It's not important.

Yes?

I was wondering about the rent here.

It really wasn't important.

What were you going to say?

It's not important...

What is it?

Will you take a shower first?

I have the early shift tomorrow.

I'll take you to work.

I don't have a change of clothes.

We can stop by your place.

You can wear my pajama.

Here you go.

I like you.

Do you like me?

Yes.

Really?

See how nervous I am...

"I want to see the town in the morning."

Your paw!

You can't...

Ms. Sawaki... Ms. Sawaki.

Ms. Mizuki isn't here today either.

Is she still sick?

I think so.

We have to take care.

I am out at the moment.

Please leave a message after the beep.

This is Sawaki.

You may get angry at me again,

but I am worried about you.

Please call me.

Did you catch a cold?

Hang over.

Riding the elevator makes me ill.

Your father will scold you again.

I drank with him.

With your father?

He kept telling me to drink.

How did your date go with Mr. Shima?

All right.

You seem different.

Oh, you're using a different color lipstick.

Yes, I am!

May I borrow it?

Yes.

It's called "Soft Rose".

Nice...

Mr. Shima...

Yes?

I was waiting for you.

I washed the pajama I borrowed from you.

You didn't have to...

But...

This evening can we go home together?

I have plans.

With whom?

Don't worry. We're entertaining clients.

Is that so?

Can you go on ahead of me?

I could make dinner for you.

I'm going to be late.

How late? I can wait up.

I don't like it...

...when you act too cozy with me.

I'll call you. Bye.

She's not in?

Are you Tsuka's friend?

Yes.

I don't like it...

...when you act too cozy with me.

I wonder where she went.

She didn't know that I was coming over.

Are you an elevator girl, too?

I'm a receptionist.

It must be tough working with customers.

Not at all.

Are you sure you're not hungry?

Yes.

I'm having seconds.

I have to get some tobacco.

Tsuka-chan.

What?

Hurry!

Isn't she your friend?

Something's wrong.

Why?

She's been here for close to an hour.

She won't eat and hardly talks.

So?

She won't commit suicide, will she?

Of course not!

She seems depressed.

Ms. Mizuki.

I'm sorry to come like this...

Not at all. Come over.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

Not at all.

Come inside.

Please.

Are you hungry?

I had a late lunch.

Have a seat. I'm starving.

Eggs and chicken.

Shall I make oyako-don?

I have onion, too.

I'll help.

You can relax.

I'll cut this.

Then, please.

It's cold!

Thank you... for calling.

We're not really friends...

Sure we are. We're cooking together.

This is my first time since I've moved to Tokyo.

Yes?

Is she all right?

- Yes. - Really?

Don't let her use a knife.

Don't worry!

Hello, this is Sawaki.

It's you! Toru...

That's no greeting.

I'll be going to Tokyo next week.

I'll get my last test results,

and I'll take two other exams.

Call me when you get here.

How is she?

Want to talk to him?

Hello... How did you do?

Mr. Yoshimoto? What are you doing there?

Well...

At this hour? Aren't you a mere neighbor?

Don't try anything on Tsukasa.

I'd never.

Never. Hold on.

Yoshimoto residence.

Hey! It's my place!

Oh, excuse me.

Who is it?

Hello?

It's me.

Why is Mr. Yoshimoto there?

Because Ms. Mizuki my co-worker is over...

This is a long distance call.

I'm hanging up.

Fool!

He's no man.

So what if I answered the phone.

He's such a busybody.

Is it too salty?

It's warm...

I've hardly eaten these past few days.

Yesterday I went...

to the hospital...

to get an abortion.

I'm pregnant.

But I became afraid when they called my name.

I don't know what to do.

Does section chief Maeno know?

I couldn't tell him.

Why not?

He said he regretted having an affair with me!

He dumped me!

Don't say it like that.

But it's true.

He's horrible. Don't have his child.

What a thing to say!

The baby's alive!

You don't know anything!

Don't have an abortion. You'll regret it.

The man is married.

The baby won't have a father!

Can you still tell her to have the child?

Her life is only beginning.

How can she have the child now?

You don't have to have the child.

No one will blame you.

But she won't forgive herself.

Get out!

You can use my pajama.

I'm sorry for all the trouble.

Don't worry about it.

Don't let what Mr. Yoshimoto said bother you.

Men are unable to think how others feel.

He's nice, though.

He's just pushy.

He was sincerely worried.

I'll think it over...

Think it over?

I can't forgive Maeno.

But I still love him.

I may never love a man as much, so...

Sis, how are you?

Do you remember the cherry blossom grove?

The one that becomes pink all over

during spring.

The trees will be cut down

to make the river wider and to make a dike.

Will the trees blossom only in our hearts?

Is there anything in Tokyo

that makes you feel soft?

Is there anything that warms you up?

Put that to the right.

We'll shoot the five levels next.

They're not here yet.

I'll check on it.

Mr. Yoshimoto just happened to be there.

Do you know what it means to have a man

in your room at night?

Don't explain!

I didn't know you were that careless.

I thought about it...

I don't think she should have the child.

I have a child, so I was concerned.

Is something the matter?

Let's go for some drinks.

Did you fight with Mr. Shima

because of last night?

Shall I talk to him?

What will you say?

That nothing is going on between us.

He'll even become more suspicious.

Why won't he believe me?

Do we look like it?

Like we're a couple...

You make a nice pair.

Why? With him?

He's an old man.

Who's an old man?

I'm going to drink.

You've had enough.

Am I careless?

Is that what he said?

He said I was since I had a man over at night.

He didn't even look at me.

He must really like you.

That's why he's so angry.

No matter how confident one is,

one loses when he falls in love.

One feels unsure the more he's in love.

Call him and apologize.

And if he ignores me?

You both like each other.

We have to be more careful.

If he suspects you again, it'll be over.

But nothing is going on.

People get suspicious

when it comes to a man and a woman...

It's odd.

Sure, but it's natural...

You've had enough.

Shima-san, otsukaresama desu.

Good night.

You sure are heavy.

How much do you weigh?

Quiet!

What?

You can't sing.

Watch that.

Mr. Shima...
