1122: FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE

Ichiko,

you finally had
your first brothel experience.

Congratulations.

Is it something to congratulate?

So, how was it?

Well…

Absolutely

mind blowing.

Okay, wait.

Give me the details. Which part?
What did he do?

He was just

so good at it.

So skilled.

He paid close attention to my reactions.

Even though we aren't lovers or friends,

it was like we were completely in sync.

It made me realize how important
it is to have a good technique.

When you need something done,
turn to a pro. Really.

Oh, wow.

But if it was that good,
wouldn't you get addicted?

No, I think I'll be okay

since it costs money.

Actually, it got me excited

and now I want to have sex with Otoyan.

You can escape the sexless phase.

We don't know yet.

But now, instead of aggressively pushing
for it like I did before,

I think I can try again with a more gentle
and considerate approach this time.

Is it really a good thing that
a young pro got you excited?

He was incredibly good, right?

Yeah.

So can sex with your husband satisfy you?

Wouldn't you compare the two of them?

Sorry. It's not like I know anything
about Otoya's technique.

It's just a general observation.

So…

As a general observation,

it's like the difference between enjoying
a professional chef's cooking

and something home-cooked.

They each give you a different
kind of joy, nourishment, and comfort.

So they are different,
but each one is good on its own. I think.

Talking about sex like this
makes it kind of bland.

Well, anyway,

I pray that you and your husband
become the first couple

to get out of the sexless phase.

To score a score, huh?

No dad jokes, please.

Okay.

What?

Mama!

Hiro.

Thank you for today.

Let's change your shoes.

Mrs. Kashiwagi.

Hiro changed all of his clothes by himself
for the first time today.

-Really?
-Yes.

That's great, Hiro.

He's slowly learning to do more things.

Right, Hiro.

Hiro.

You're amazing. Doing your best every day.

Mama will do her best too.

I'll do my best to be someone really cool.

So give me a hug.

Thank you, Hiro.

Mama.

I love you.

Hey, Otoyan.

Can you set the table
with our seats next to each other?

Why?

I just feel like eating next to you.

Have some, have some.

Thank you, thank you.

-Pour for me?
-Sure.

-Have some, have some.
-Thank you, thank you.

Okay.

-Now, cheers.
-Cheers.

So good.

These cups you bought are really cute.

Thank you.

-Is it good? The turnip and salmon.
-Yeah.

-Yummy.
-Yeah.

Sitting like this is like that movie,
The Family Game.

-Yeah. It feels different.
-Yeah.

What?

I was thinking about how I like your face.

What? Really?

-Yeah.
-Which part?

You have really good features,

but sometimes you are not that attractive.

What does that mean?

No, for real.

Ichiko.

Yeah?

I think I'm all healed.

Healed?

Yeah. My crotch.

Okay.

So,

how about tonight?

Okay.

Our relationship is going well.

It might not be a happy marriage.

We had our hurdles

and got hurt.

Well, only Otoyan got hurt.

But even when our hearts and bodies
were with other people,

neither of us ever thought about
leaving this marriage.

-Can I eat the meat?
-Go ahead.

The egg is so good.

We can make up as many times as we need.

That's how we can make
our marriage work for us.

What?

Sorry, Ichiko.

No.

You don't need to be sorry.

You've been through a lot.

It happens.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Ichiko.

Let me pleasure you.

Okay.

Otoyan gave it his all,

and he did it with love.

He did it for me,

but…

it was like, "What?

Was that it?"

No, no. I'm not comparing him to a pro.

And it's not Otoyan's fault.

Right. Love. We love each other.

STAG ENERGY

However…

No way.

Why?

It won't.

Was sex something this serious and grave?

Hey, Otoyan.

Wouldn't it be good to take it easy
instead of forcing yourself?

Yeah.

You're right.

Even after we break up,

I don't want you to have sex
with anyone else.

This is bad.

If I don't forget about what she said,

I will…

It's okay.

We both want it

so we'll be able to do it eventually.

Then contact me if you need anything.

Even if it's just to talk.

When you need something done,

turn to a pro, right?

So, how are things now?

Is your husband still refusing you?

No. We got past that.

Now we're in the
let's-rekindle-the-flame-and-do-it phase.

Oh, nice.

Well,

I think we're doing good most of the time.

But

we have not--

My husband's isn't at all…

Is that what's going on?

He's getting more and more depressed,

and I'm trying to act as if it's okay,

but it's not okay at all.

Rei, have you ever been asked
for advice about that at your job?

Yeah, sometimes.

But it's difficult.

It's not like I can give answers
like an expert.

But it seems to happen the most
with very serious guys.

Serious? I guess he is.

My husband is a very serious man.

If it's a psychological problem,

there's always counseling.

Go to a hospital? I wonder if he would.

Even if he keeps trying,
it will only make him feel more pressured.

That's true.

Having said that,

you'll end up drifting apart if you stop
having a physical relationship.

So,

instead of doing it for sex, are you
both able to touch and hug each other?

Naturally?

Yes, but

I guess it's a bit unnatural.

I see.

Okay, then…

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Thanks.

See you.

Hello? This is Ichiko Aihara.

Yes.

The competition from the other day?

Really?

Yes.

Thank you. Yes.

I can do it.

Yes.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Yes.

MOM

Hello, Mom?

-Did you hear? The unofficial notice.
-What?

It was so blatant. Some of the younger
ones will be sent to useless positions.

Really? Like who?

Otoya Aihara.

Isn't it good for him?
There's no overtime in that department.

He looks like he likes not having work.

That's true.

-Excuse me.
-Sure.

Hi.

Did he hear us?

I don't know.

Shit.

-You think he heard us?
-He must have.

SALES PROMOTION
AND PLANNING DEPT - FILE ROOM

What's up, Ichiko?

Sorry to call you at work.

Can you talk?

Yeah, I was about to go to lunch.

Thanks.

My mom called me.

It looks like they found
a polyp or a hernia in her medical exams.

Is she okay?

She said she's having
minor surgery tomorrow

and is suddenly feeling nervous about it.

She didn't say it,

but it looks like
she wants me to be there.

But I have an important meeting tomorrow
for a new project.

I'll go. Tomorrow is my day off anyway.

Are you sure?

I'm so sorry about this.
That would be a big help.

It's okay.

Then thank you.

No problem.

Mother.

You did great.

The polyp was safely removed.

How are you feeling?

That anesthetic.

It made me so relaxed.

I fell right asleep counting to three.

It would be nice to die like that.

If you're thirsty, here. Drink this.

How kind of you.

Thank you.

That is very convenient.

The store was selling it too.

Ichiko would never be this thoughtful.

She probably would give me the bottle
without the straw.

Then I'd spill it.

And she'd get mad and throw me a tissue.

That's how she is.

A girl like that

makes me worry about her being a mother.

She's so inconsiderate
and does everything her way.

Don't mothers have to put
their child's happiness first?

That's right.

But I suppose

it will be hard for her to have children.

She's already quite old.

And giving birth when you're older is…

Otoya.

You like children, right?

So…

I feel so bad and sorry for you.

No, it's fine.

I'm okay.

NEW WAYS OF CONNECTING
PEOPLE AND THE SEA

I'm home.

You surprised me.

-I'm home.
-Welcome back.

So you were working here.

Yeah. The tea table is here.

And I can concentrate
when I hide away like this.

Right. Thank you for looking after my mom.

You really helped me out.

Sure. It's good that
it wasn't anything serious.

She always makes a big deal of things.

I'll buy you anything you want for dinner.
I'm getting a lot of money from this job.

Okay…

Sorry, I'll take this work call.

Okay. Good night.

Good night.

Hello, this is Ichiko Aihara.

Sure.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Welcome.

-For one?
-Yes, I'm alone.

I'll have a gimlet.

Sure.

-Thanks.
-No problem.

You already drank quite a bit, huh?

Oh, shut up.

-Here you are.
-Thanks.

Thank you.

It was nothing.

I'm gonna turn it off.

Sorry.

You picked it up for me, but…

It's all right.

I had a big fight with my fiancé.

So I don't want to talk to him right now.

I see.

You're married, right?

Yes.

Sorry about being drunk.

But aren't there times like this
even when you're married?

When you don't want to see
your wife's face.

Yes, sometimes.

I knew it.

Hold on.

Don't tell me.

Today? You too?

I see.

Your hands…

are so big and beautiful.

Wanna leave

and go somewhere else with me?

Somewhere else?

Yeah.

Somewhere else.

I can, but

I'll be thinking about my wife
the entire time.

If that's okay with you, then sure.

What's with this guy?

He's so mean.

I'm done. The bill please.

Sure. Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm back.

-How pretty.
-It is.

It's so pretty, right?

That's right.

One of the flowers we'll be using today is
the Chinese peony.

Everyone, be sure
to arrange it in your own style.

-Yes.
-Yes.

In the flower language,

the red Chinese peony means
"honest" and "faithful."

A white Chinese peony
means a "happy marriage."

-Oh, wow.
-That's nice.

Now let's have some fun.

-Yes.
-Okay.

-Isn't it an impressive flower?
-Amazing.

The gerbera daisy is also very large.

This one is also a new variety.

-I'm back.
-Welcome back.

What is that, Otoyan?

What? Oh, this?

This is a Chinese peony.

A white peony means--

Not that.

Don't tell me you're still going
to that flower class.

Why didn't you quit?

Listen, Ichiko.

Mitsuki already left the class.
She's moving with her family.

It's not about whether she's there or not.

Why are you still going to the class where
you both met, like you still miss her?

What exactly do you want to do?

Ikebana.

Besides, it would look weird
if I quit right after she left.

In the first place, I started going
because I wanted to learn ikebana.

I have no reason to quit.

Don't put that in our home.

I'm going back to work.

-Ichiko.
-What?

I didn't get a chance
to say this the other day,

but you should be nicer to your mom.

At least give her a call.

Sure, she likes to exaggerate,

but she is sick and scared.

Okay.

You bastard.

You dumb bastard.

MOM

A message should be okay.

PLEASE ANSWER THE PHONE.
I CALLED OTOYA.

OKAY. WE WILL ARRIVE SOON

REI - HELLO, ICHIKO.

IT'S REI
FROM SALON FLOWER GARDEN

Rei.

WERE THERE ANY CHANGES
TO YOUR SEXLESS PROBLEM?

I FOUND SOME NEW INFORMATION
TO TELL YOU NEXT TIME WE MEET

He could have sent it in the message.
But he wrote "next time we meet."

Oh, Rei.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

That smells nice.

Here.

Thanks.

Hey, Ichiko.

I think I'll quit the ikebana class.

I realized I was being insensitive,

not thinking about your feelings.

What? Why?

What?

I thought about it too.

I got emotional and blew up at you
without listening to what you had to say.

And so I think I wasn't thinking clearly.

Sorry.

No.

Otoyan, you should keep going.

Since you like it so much,
it will be a shame if you quit.

Don't we need relief and joy in our lives?

And that is okay?

It's perfectly okay.

Thank you for your waiting.
Here is your tea.

Thank you.

I thought this was a good idea
when I heard about it.

Let's call her Miss B. Her marriage had
been sexless for over a year.

She hasn't gone to a concert in a while,
but when she went,

she was turned on
by the sexy, mature singer.

She got home
still feeling hot and bothered,

immediately pounced
on her sleeping husband and scored.

Scored a score.

Now she says

every time they have a dry spell,
she goes to that artist's concert

to get herself in the mood.

I see.

Is that artist Okamura-chan?

No, I didn't ask.

Oh, and there are couples who are
dry like a rock garden

where both agree it's okay if
that is not a part of their relationship.

But don't the women in those couples
go to you for treatment?

Yeah, they do.

So I guess there are some people
who believe they don't need their partners

to satisfy their desires
or give them sexual fulfillment

because people like you exist.

Should I say thank you?

Me making another appointment with you
is an entirely different matter.

Of course.

Actually, Ichiko.

Yeah?

I'm going to quit the salon
at the end of this month.

Oh, really?

I was only doing it until I saved
enough money for graduate school.

I wanted to tell you in person.

You did tell me when we first met.

You've really got it together.

Good luck with your studies.

Ichiko. Don't make that face.

Can I sit next to you?

Look at me.

Welcome.

Ordering take out?

-Yes.
-Okay.

One Ethiopian and one Guatemalan, please.

Okay.

Are these the right ones?

Yes.

That will be 3,500 yen.

-That is the exact change.
-Yes.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Our apologies.
-I'm sorry.

That surprised me. Is it okay?

Yeah, everything is okay.

Thank you.

Ichiko?

Was that your husband?
The person looking this way?

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Did I do something bad?

Since I'm sitting close to you.

We were holding hands too.

Friends do that too, don't they?

Friends don't normally hold hands, right?

Really?

Yeah.

But

I think it will be okay.

My husband doesn't care about this stuff.

He's not the jealous type.

Plus we have an open relationship.

Okay.

Yeah.

Otoyan?

What are you doing?

Well…

Sorry for going through your phone.

Don't do it anymore.

I was curious since

you were acting lovey-dovey at the café,
not caring about what other people think.

That was a friend.

Friend?

Is that why you were flirting
at a place I also shop at?

"Hello, Ichiko.

It's Rei from Salon Flower Garden.

Were there any changes
to your sexless problem?"

You were talking about me

with that friend.

Those messages came

from that man you were with today, right?

-That's right.
-Who is he?

Tell me, what exactly are you doing?

He is…

a fortune-teller.

He's famous for reading tarot cards
despite how he looks.

He's young but really skilled and has
proven results. So my friend introduced--

So you'd say, "I'm really happy
I slept with you, Rei. Thank you,"

to a tarot-reading psychic.

Why…

Why?

What?

Ichiko.

I don't need obvious lies like that.

What is the Flower Garden?

Where did you meet him?

-At the salon.
-What kind of salon?

Beauty salon.

There are men in that beauty salon?

It's considered a beauty salon.

To put it simply…

it's a brothel.

A brothel?

Ichiko.

You bought a man with money. I see.

It's payment for services received.

Just so you know,
I only slept with him once.

Your affair lasted over a year.
You had sex with Mitsuki multiple times--

Now wait a minute, Ichiko.

The number isn't the problem, okay?

My affair was something
we discussed and decided together.

And you were happy with that
since you didn't want to have sex.

And I never hid it from you.

I fell in love
and slept with someone I like.

What about you?

You bought a younger man with money.

It's completely different.

That's prostitution.

Do you like him, Ichiko?

It's not about that.

So you're okay with having sex
with a man you don't even like.

I needed to.

I wasn't okay with it.

Not one bit.

I was so scared and kept hesitating.

But it was something I really needed.

I used up my time, courage, and money
to go there.

I took on all the risks
and responsibilities. I was serious.

But that's what saved me.

And this is my problem.

You don't have any right
to get mad at me for it.

Do…

Do you really…

think so?

Hey, wait.

Hey, Otoyan. Where are you going?

Don't touch me.

That wasn't jealousy.

That was definitely

a look of disdain.

The strength he used to push me away

made me realize

Otoyan is a man.

NEXT EPISODE

We need some time apart
to calmly think about things.

THEY HAVE SEPARATED!

Is it really bad? Mud-fight bad?

It's nice that you could talk
to her like a friend.

But I guess she really became your friend.

Are you lonely now with Otoya gone?

Yeah.

Just living together with a partner
you get along with is priceless.

I want to have the baby.

Do you know who the father is?

It made me want to see you.

A NEW LOVE?

We might have been stuck circling
the same spot in the past

and will do that even in the future, but…

We were serious, weren't we?

We never broke up.

THE HAPPINESS THEY CHOSE IS…

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
