I like you, Yamagishi.

The story I'm going to tell now happened to our family

The truth is something I can't tell you!

It's a very strange tale.

Mama suspected Papa of having a girlfriend.

But that was all a misunderstanding on Mama's part.

Papa was tutoring a girl from his office named Yamagishi Hoshimi-san

to help her study for the full-time employment exam.

Don't meet with my husband anymore.

A strange old lady appeared in front of the two them.

Neither one of you can see what's really important.

And somehow Mama and Hoshimi-san switched bodies.

After you two have overcome an obstacle

and the appropriate time comes, you will return to normal even if you don't wish to.

And if you tell anyone about having switched bodies,

you will never be able to return to normal.

And so they switched bodies and each assumed the other's life.

I want you to come and work alongside me as soon as possible.

Hoshimi's mother is the owner of Patisserie Fumiko?

From now on, let's talk properly with one another.

Stop kidding around.

But a new problem presented itself to the two of them.

I want to know more about you.

I'll wait for you. Eh?

I'll wait until you're able to forget about the section chief.

No, um...

I like you, Yamagishi.

Eh~! I'm not Yamagishi, though!

I wonder if she isn't home yet.

Eheheh, Papa, you took a quick bath tonight, huh?

Did I?

Who have you been calling lately?

Eh? Is it someone you can't tell me about?

Hahaha, what are you talking about, Papa?

Then who is it?

Eh...

Mama.

No, Hishiko.

Tell me the truth.

The truth is something I just can't tell you!

This time, it's Papa who misunderstands.

And because of that misunderstanding...

Papa and Mama are fighting.

Are Papa and Mama going to get divorced?

I've started to worry about it.

I always liked the real Mama

who has now switched bodies with Hoshimi-san.

Please stop it! Let go! This bothers me!

What're you doing? Eh?

No, I-- Ow, ow, ow!

Wait, wait! Oh, Jesus!

Hold on, Yamagishi!

Ow ow ow ow!

What should I do?

So what in the world is going to happen now?

No!

Ah~ it was a dream.

She's sleeping out there again.

She's been sleeping on the sofa for a month already.

No matter how I look at it, it's weird.

Maybe if I look at this, I can figure out what's going on.

No, I can't do that. She's my wife.

But maybe, Hishiko really has fallen in love with someone.

No, no, there's no way.

Probably not.

I have to look.

No, I can't.

Let's take a look.

No!

Hey, hey, wait--

Ah. Morning.

I'll make breakfast.

I didn't look at it. Eh?

Your cellphone.

Hold on...

This is really bad, isn't it?

I like you, Yamagishi.

Wah, you have bad timing.

My stomach hurts.

Are you all right? I'm fine.

Ugh.

Why are you calling me at this hour?

I know it's inexcusable to call in the morning when you're so busy.

Anyway, Mugi thinks something's up.

Papa suspects something? What?

He thinks you have someone you like or something.

Eh, someone I like?!

"Lately you'e been talking on the phone in secret" and saying things like that.

He asked "Who is it you've been talking to?

And he tried to look at my cell phone a little earlier.

Oh dear, he definitely suspects something.

Papa worries about me even with things like that.

Then he really does love me after all, doesn't he?

Don't you already know that? What are you so happy about?

I'm not especially happy...

Yes you are. Now what do you want, anyway?

Ah, actually, there's something that's a little worrisome.

Yes? Mama, hurry up.

It's starting to come out!

Don't let it come out! I'll call you back later.

Ah, wait, wait--

Yes, yes, yes. Sorry, sorry. Mama, you take too long!

Mama, next is Papa.

Ah~ that was close.

Breakfast, breakfast, c'mon.

Did it come out? Hey, did it come out?

It came out. Ok.

Ok, ok.

I'm off! See you when you get home!

I'm off now. See you when you get home.

Shoot, I'm late! That's why you should go to bed earlier.

Ah, my handkerchief. You don't need it. Hurry up.

Just kidding~

You're awesome, Mama. I'm going now. See you when you get home.

Parents always, ALWAYS worry about their children.

Day in and day out, they can't help but worry.

It's because you're the most important thing to them.

Parents are amazing.

If you're not going to answer your phone,

then give me a call once in a while.

Your mom wants to know more about you.

The company is now facing a precarious situation

but let's all work together

and meet it head-on and succeed. Of course.

I'm counting on all of you. Excuse us.

20%? That isn't a high number, is it?

Good morning.

Good morning. Morning.

Eh?

If a wife cheats, it's really all her husband's responsibility, isn't it?

Take me, for example. Every week on our day off, we go out shopping together.

And once a month, we have a date, just the two of us.

On my wife's birthday and our anniversary, I take her to dinner and give her a present without fail.

Just as we'd expect of you, Boss. I'm jealous of your wife.

Aren't you, though? Oi, Komatsubara, how about you?

What do you do? Section Chief, how about you?

Uh, it's pretty much like the boss here.

Tell us something good you do.

You know, the secret to a happy marriage is

"Doskoi." "Doskoi?"

"Doskoi"? From the first character in "great effort" [*the first character is pronounced "do"]

Like when you're exhausted from work but you don't say anything, love is the same.

You have to make effort to properly make time for just the two of you.

Great effort... The next is "s" from "skinship" [*meaning physical relationship]

Skinship?

Obviously, when you walk together you hold hands.

And when you leave in the morning or get home at night, you obviously kiss.

Eh, kiss?!

Kiss? Don't be so bashful.

Komatsubara, your face is red. It's cute!

You should start doing it right away, starting today.

When you get home, say "I'm home" with a kiss.

I'm home. Welcome back.

No way. That can't happen.

Then the next part is "ko" from "words". [*The first syllable of the word for "word" is "ko"]

You have to unexpectedly put your feelings into words.

You have to properly express things like "I love you" and "Thank you."

I see.

You really know your stuff, Boss.

Then the last part is "i" from "always being together"

When you're home, you gotta always stick by your wife's side.

Hishiko, I love you. Let's always be together.

Matrimonial bliss is found through "doskoi."

He really looks like he's ready to put this plan into action.

I'm happy, but this isn't the time! Doskoi is forbidden right now!

Yamagishi, take this data down to the Development Department.

No way... Absolutely not!

Eh? It's only running it down there.

Ah, sorry.

Um... sorry about yesterday.

No, I should be the one to apologize. I'm sorry.

Hey, this Saturday,

do you wanna go somewhere? Eh?

The movies or an amusement part or something?

Can I think about it a little?

You wanted to ask me about something?

Is it ok to go on a date with Ishiguro?

Huh? He invited me out this Saturday,

but I wanted to check with you and see how you felt about it first.

How I feel...

Actually, Ishiguro-san

seems like he likes me, right?

Er, when I say "me", I mean you.

Are you still half-asleep even this late in the day?

I'm serious.

He really asked you out?

He really asked me out.

For real? For real.

You never noticed Ishiguro's feelings?

It seems like he's liked you for a long time now.

No way, Ishi-yan has never acted like that at all.

I don't get it.

He's a different kind of guy, huh? If he likes me.

Hoshimi, do you like Ishiguro-san?

I don't particularly like him.

Then it would be best if I turned him down, right?

Ah... yeah.

All right.

Ah, but...

Nah, nothing, nevermind.

Then I'll turn him down.

Ok.

Also, there's something I want you to be careful of. What?

Papa and you... in other words, you appear to be me, so

he might kiss you.

Kiss me?

Yes, he seems like he's itching to do it.

Itching to? Please refuse him firmly.

But of course do it in a nonchalant way, so you don't hurt his feelings.

Uh... ok.

Mugi is a good boss, but

kissing him would be kinda...

When you get home, say "I'm home" with a kiss.

Kiss, kiss, kiss...

All right. I'm home.

Ah, welcome home.

I'm home.

Dinner will be ready soon.

What're we having today? Ah

Uh, I tried to make the kinpira that you like so much.

Well? Delicious.

I'm ho-- Ah, this is dirty!

Papa, you want to get changed? Ok.

This is bad.

Has Mama really started to hate Papa after all?

Danger, danger.

Shall we go somewhere next time we have a free day?

But to do what? Uh, I mean,

this time I'd like to go out with Mama, just the two of us.

Eh? Hm?

It's nice once in a while, isn't it? That's nice.

But if it's just the two of us, that would make it a date.

Well, yeah, but... C'mon, gimme a break.

A middle-aged married couple going on a date?

Mama, lend me your ear for a second.

What? Just lend me your ear for a second.

What? What? What is it, Mika-tan?

What is it? Look, Mama,

isn't it precisely because you're a middle-aged married couple that dates are so important?

Eh? If you don't focus on him,

Papa really will fall in love with someone else.

The majority of men in the world are the same in that regard.

The men in the world...

If you don't have a good relationship with each other, you might get divorced.

Divorce?

Ah, that wouldn't be good.

Right? So go on a date with Papa.

Fine.

If you don't have a good relationship, you'll get divorced.

Yes, yes, without a good relationship we'll end up getting a divorce.

I'll build a good relationship. Yeah.

If they don't have a good relationship... divorce...

No!!

A date? Mika-tan said I had to no matter what.

A date with Papa?

When you walk together, obviously you should hold hands.

Say "I'm home" with a kiss, obviously.

A date is out of the question!

But if I turn him down, he's going to get more and more suspicious.

That's true.

Ma'am, I want to protect your family.

Eh?

Because it really is a good family.

So I will go on a date with Mugi.

Where will you go?

The day of the date

Ok, Mika, you're in charge of the house. Got it.

Where's Masato?

Isn't he pouting because you aren't taking him with you?

Really? Don't worry about Masato.

We'll leave it to you. Ah,

Bring me a souvenir. Roger.

We'll be going. See you when you get home.

Don't forget a souvenir! Got it~

The fate of our family rests on this date.

Will Papa and Mama be able to develop a good relationship?

I was very worried about that.

Oh, we're here.

Jeez, this place hasn't changed a bit.

Yeah, you're right.

Wanna ride the roller coaster? Huh?

The dolphins! I want to see the dolphins. Ah, dolphins are nice, aren't they?

Meanwhile, the real Mama who had switched bodies with Hoshimi-san

couldn't put her worries out of mind and came that day too.

The first time we went on a date here, Hishiko, you made a bento for us, right?

Ah, yeah, I did.

But you dropped the bag the bento was in so the contents got all messy.

And you cried. I did cry.

Because the side dishes you had arranged so beautifully got all jumbled up.

I thought you were really cute that day.

Ah! Please--

Please, you mustn't hold hands, Papa. Please!

Papa, Mama, please hold hands and build a good relationship. Please!

Ah...

Hold hands... Don't hold hands...

Hold hands! Don't hold hands!

Hold hands!

Don't hold hands!

Ah, Papa. Ah~ Papa, the dolphin!

Did you see it? Just now? That's good! Thanks, Hoshimi-san.

Mama, why are you escaping?

Aren't you cold? Papa!

Ah, shall we ride that? Eh?

C'mon, let's ride it, let's go! Ok.

Ah, excuse me.

Hang in there, Papa.

Papa, that person isn't me! It's Hoshimi-san!

Please proceed. Yes sir!

I'm really bad with those kinds of rides. I'm scared!

That was crazy. Hahaha, are you ok?

Wait a second, wait a second. Ah.

Ah.

Ah, can we go get a drink? Something warm.

Yeah, ok.

But he hasn't even held my hand in several years now.

"Good relationship"

"10 ways to go on 100 fun dates The complete manual"

Ishiguro-san?

Yamagishi!

Why're you here? Eh?

Ah, I had some free time and

I wanted a change of pace.

How about you? Ah, I just...

Eh, are you by yourself?

Ah, yeah I am.

Well then, how about we go around together?

Eh? Ah, well--

Ah-- wait a second.

Ah, it's onii-chan and onee-chan. Why are they here?

Crap. If they see me, they'll definitely tell Papa and Mama.

This thing is really tasty. For real.

It's good, this churroki. No, it's called "churros."

Eh? Churros.

"Compliment her on her hair and clothes"

Say, Yamagishi, today,

you're looking particularly nice.

Thank you very much. No problem

Ah, um, I... I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

I'm think I'll go, too, actually. Oh?

Oi.

Oi~!

What'd you just do? I'm very sorry.

Very sorry ain't gonna cut it.

What am I gonna do about this?

But it was you guys who bumped into me.

What'd you say? You're pretty cocky, huh?

You're awfully cocky.

Oh, oh?

Wait a moment.

Wait, wait! Hey, hey!

Where'd he go?

This way maybe?

Masato-kun? Ah.

Eh, what are you doing? Masato-kun, are you all alone?

Yes.

You're not with your dad?

Papa and Mama are on a date today.

I was a little worried so I followed them.

Worried about what?

Don't tell Papa or Mama, ok? Ok.

Lately, Papa and Mama haven't been getting along well.

I thought they might be thinking of getting a divorce.

I see...

But it's all right. They've already fixed their relationship and look close again.

Masato-kun...

Ah, are you two on a date?

No. It kind of seems like it.

Hmm.

Ah, hey, let's ride that together! Good idea!

Let's go together. Come on. Here we go.

Aw, it's cute.

Wah, awesome!

This is the first time I've ever done something like this.

You can do it, Masato! Ah, you did it!

Ah~ Yamagishi.

Ah~ you're doing really well!

Yum! Yeah, it's good.

Are you two a couple?

Unfortunately, no.

But I'm not giving up. Eh?

Eh, onii-chan, do you like onee-chan?

Yeah, I really like her.

I love her very much.

Because she's cute? Yeah, I like that she's cute.

And because she's cheerful and kind.

There are lots and lots of things that I like about her.

Hmm.. ah. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Ok.

So you guys can be alone for a little while.

Well, shall we go? Ok.

This is fun.

If he gets any more touchy-feely, there's gonna be trouble.

Next time we come, let's bring the kids. Yeah, let's!

Ah, but Mika's already in middle school.

She probably wouldn't come to an amusement park with her parents.

I don't think that's the case.

Do you remember the first time we took Mika to an amusement park?

Her eyes were so sparkly and she was running all around.

I'm glad the weather is nice.

Let's ride the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round?

Mom wants to ride a roller coaster. Aren't you afraid of it?

Look, they're lining up. We better go! Hurry, hurry!

So, what do you want to ride next? Um...

Hm? Eh? Eh?

Ah.

Ah... I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Again?

Yeah, sorry. Be right back.

What's wrong?

I need to go wash my hands.

What are you thinking? Sorry.

But once I knew you were going on a date with Papa,

I felt I had to be there. You know,

this is all so you and Mugi have a happy marriage together.

Do you get it? Yes, I understand, but,

You worry too much.

But weren't you getting a little too chummy with Papa?

It can't be helped. We're a married couple.

Anyway, you don't need to worry about it.

Mugi really does hold you and his family in high esteem.

Right. I mean,

if you were so worried you shouldn't have come here with Ishi-yan.

That's a misunderstanding. I just happened to run into him here.

Really?

Ishiguro-san was kind of getting a preview of a date with you, in case you ever

want to go on a date with him. Scope out?

Papa said something like that a long time ago.

That for a first date, men would scope it out

and pay attention to various things about you.

Eh, even Ishi-yan thinks about things like that?

Ishiguro-san really thinks a lot of you, Hoshimi-san.

Eh? And not just because you're cheerful and cute,

He also thinks you're lonely deep down but you pretend to be strong.

He also loves that about you.

What are you saying?

For a chance at a date with me, I mean you, Hoshimi-san,

he's really going to try his very best.

For some reason I just remembered that, from a while ago.

Well, I better get going.

It's cold, isn't it?

I'll buy you something warm. What do you want?

Maybe some cocoa or lemon tea. Please.

Masato-kun? How about you? Cocoa!

?? Thank you!

Ah.

It's been a long time since the two of us went out.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Eh?

Here.

Open it. Eh... ok.

What should I do? Is it really ok for me to open it?

What's wrong? Haha... right.

It's not really anything expensive.

But this is a diamond.

Yeah. It'll look good on you.

Do you think so?

Thank you.

What are you saying? I should be the one thanking you.

It's our 17th anniversary.

Papa remembered.

And it's exactly 20 years since I met you, Hishiko.

Yeah.

Really, thank you.

For being with me all this time.

I'm truly grateful.

Please stay with me, the same as now

and the same as it's been all this time.

Of course.

I promise to.

I promise, too. To always be by your side, Hishiko.

And together with you, I'll protect Mika and Masato and our family.

Thank you, Papa.

Papa, Mama! Masato.

Yamagishi. No, um...

Onee-chan is on a date with Ishiguro-san.

But why is Masato here too?

I was worried.

Because Papa and Mama haven't been getting along well recently.

Masato-kun.

Hahaha, Masato's a worry-wart. Wonder who he takes after.

Sorry to worry you.

But Papa and Mama have a good relationship. Yeah.

Actually it's the best relationship in the whole world.

Yeah.

Ah, I found you~

Hey hey hey hey, you were trying to get away, huh?

Hey hey hey hey, you were trying to get away, huh?

Y'all this guy's parents? Yes, we are.

He broke my sunglasses earlier.

You gonna pay me back for 'em?

It wasn't my fault! These guys bumped into me!

Really? Yeah.

Don't tell lies, you filthy brat. If my son wronged you,

I will apologize.

It wasn't my fault! Shut up, you idiot.

I'm his father. If you want to say something, say it to me.

Papa's quick with words, huh?

Pay me back. Pay you back?

500, no, a thousand bucks.

No, pay me five thousand. Five thousand?

You want that much for such a cheap thing? Hey now, Auntie.

This is a limited-edition designer item.

Only two of 'em were sold in Japan.

And your stupid son destroyed them.

My son is not stupid. Whatever, just hurry up and pay me.

I'm not going to pay such a ridiculous amount. What's ridiculous? You're paying for damages.

That's right, you better pay up. Hey!

You wanna enter a world of pain?

If that's what it takes to protect my family, then that's what I'll do.

Papa's so cool. So cool~

Whatever, I don't need your money.

If you have something to protect, you better protect it then. Right, Missus?

Stay away from my family!

If you try to lay even one finger on them, you're gonna pay for it!

Officer, right over here. Hurry.

Hey you! What are you doing? That's the guy who always catches us!

Papa-- Chief, are you all right?

Ishiguro, I'm...

not all right. Chief.

Papa, I'm sorry, it's my fault.

It's not your fault, Masato. This is Papa's job.

Protecting all of you makes me happy.

Papa.

Thank you, Papa.

Papa

Oh, penguin feet.

It turned out all right. Yeah.

Ishi-yan, thank you. Thanks.

Mugi's a really good dad, isn't he? Yes, he is.

I thought that when I was watching him earlier.

I'm happy there's someone who will protect me.

My mom didn't have anyone like that.

My dad died when I was in third grade, so

she was all alone.

My condolences.

Thank you so much for coming.

Er...

The roll cakes I promised will be completed on schedule, so

I think we'll be able to deliver the sample product around the middle of the month.

Fumiko-san, with this turn of events,

if you want to wait until next time around-- No, it's all right.

Having our products sold at Kanamaru Department Store

is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I can guarantee the materials and I can also

pin down the cost. I've established this as my goal.

I beg you, please support our roll cake.

At that time, even though my dad had just passed away,

she discussed work matters without even crying. I couldn't believe her.

Your mom was helpless, though.

She had to protect her child all by herself.

Your mom wants to know more about you.

Your mom was helpless, though.

She had to protect her child all by herself.

Ah.

Hello?

Your mother has collapsed. This is Tokyo Central Hospital.

Please come right away.

Eh...

All right.
