What were you thinking?
Do you think this lazy level of proofreading is acceptable here?
Use your head!
I'm sorry.
You're a professional, so act like one!
I told you this was due at 3 PM, so why are you here now'?
Everyone was waiting.
Right...
If you're going to be late, then be late, but you have to let me know ahead of time.
There was a leak at my apartment, my cell phone battery died,
and I got stuck in the worst of rush hour...
...is not what I should respond with.
I'm very sorry.
It's been a while since I've been reprimanded...
Yeah... me too.
Is it just me, or are we the only ones who ever get in trouble?
Yumi-san and Kaji-san never seem to have anyone scold or yell at them.
Kaji-san must have some kind of diplomatic immunity...
Something wrong?
What are you two talking about?
Nothing really.
Oh, she's already gone.
Kaji-san is always so kind and beautiful.
She always goes light on makeup and wears conservative clothing.
Despite that, she's like a fountain of pheromones that spill out...
and attract all men making her the most popular woman in the office.
A man who can work, that's the type she likes
I psyched myself up and got down to business
But I'm always so busy and so bored
The company I work at now is pretty high level
And my dad has a lot of connections there
So there's no way I can quit
I'm always all by myself
I just take a bath and fall asleep
I can't even take the time to admire
Your hair or [he way you walk
If all I can do is sleep
Then at least in my dreams
I want to see you

Did Kaji-san already leave for the day?
We just got a fax from Mogi-sensei that contains his new manuscript.
Maybe she doesn't need it...
Hiro Mogitaka.
Known for his best seller "Snow in the Valley," which sold over 2 million copies.
He's a super famous novelist.
Currently, his serial "Journey of the Heart", is being published in Weekly JIDAI.
No! No, no, no, no.
We need to call her and have her come back.
I thought so!
Whenever a manuscript arrives, the editor in charge should immediately let the writer know they got it.
Afterwards, they promptly read it and then contact the writer again.
As a base rule, an editor must not keep a writer waiting at any time.
Kaji-san isn't picking up, almost as if she doesn't feel the need to.
Well, I suppose she still has time before the deadline.
Yeah, you're right.
She'll he fine.
Not only do they not get upset, but they're even covering for her! She'll he fine.
Not only do they not get upset, but they're even covering for her!
Not only do they not get upset, but they're even covering for her! Hey, why don't I take it to her'!
Huh'! Why would you he the one to take it'!
And they're excited about it, too! Huh'! Why would you he the one to take it'!
I came up with the idea.
All the men here are willing to take on extra work for Kaji-san. I came up with the idea.

Nu, I'll do it. It's hetter to he direct and not use the phone.
They're content just to be able to get close to her. Nu, I'll do it. It's better to be direct and not use the phone.
They're content just to be able to get close to her.
They're content just to be able to get close to her. Okay fine. but I get dibs next time-.
Okay fine. but I get dibs next time-.
They're enjoying this way too much!
So, we're all agreed'!
Doesn't it just make you angry?
Nu, I think I should go after all.
Not really. I'm more curious to know where she goes after work. Nu, I think I should go after all.
Not really. I'm more curious to know where she goes after work.
I'm sorry, but that makes you sound just like one of those creepy stalker guys. Then how about all three of us go together'!
I'm sorry, but that makes you sound just like one of those creepy stalker guys.
It's not hard to figure out. I'm sure she's going off to meet with some guy in private.
This is Kaji-san we're talking about.
I wonder if that rumor... is really true?
The one about Kaji-san going out with Mogi-sensei, right?
That's just a rumor. It's not actually true, right?

If you had just called, I would have come to pick you up at the station.
Oh no, it's not far and the rain is very light.
I heard Mogi-san is leaving on a trip for Kathmandu tomorrow.
Did he really send you two weeks worth of material ahead of time?
This chapter was very interesting, and much more intense than expected.
These 12 pages are ready to go without any changes.
Thank you very much.
As beautiful as always, that Kaji-san.
Her very presence is overwhelmingly seductive
and yet all she ever does is take my manuscripts with her!
I just can't stand it!
She already turned you down once, remember?
That was just some crap about how she can't date authors who she does editing for.
I tell you, that woman is no good! She shouldn't be an editor!
But Sensei, you never fail to meet the deadlines she gives you.
Because you always want to see her.
Excuse me. I'm leaving for the day.
Good work today.
Huh'? She isn't going out for drinks tonight.
Senpai... she said the apartment above her had a really bad leak that caused all sorts of problems.
Oh wow, that sounds like a mess.
Oh! So that's why she ran out of here in a panic after that phone call.
Apparently a water pipe ruptured and leaked all over her apartment.
Hey.
You know that won't work as an excuse to be late.
I know that!
Okay then.
Why didn't you explain anything?
I mean, the fact that I couldn't use my phone is my own fault.
I also shouldn't have panicked and ran home in the first place.
These are all just personal problems.
They don't have any relation to work.
I don't think you have to be that strict about it.
People will sympathize if you just tell them.
I mean, you're a lady, so-
This is exactly why I said I wanted to stay at your place!
I'm tired of dealing with it!
But if we just leave it like this today, then things will just be worse later...
like the bed and the computer!
Not to mention all my clothes!
What should I do'?! I can't take this!
Calm down, Hiro!
I just want it to all go away!
Putting all my emotions aside and focusing extra effort into my work.
I know that does more harm than good, but it's the only way I know how to do things.
I can't just put in a modest effort and still be appreciated like Yumi-chan and Kaji-san...
I thought Shinji had come to understand that fact.
This is the only way I can function.
The only way...
Your hair... is soaking wet.
It started raining harder than I expected.
Hurry and take off your clothes.

The cleanup took us all night to finish, but now things are finally under control.
Were you able to make up with your boyfriend?
Why are you assuming that we got into a fight?
Good morning.
Good morning!
Ah, Kaji-san!
Hmm?
Yesterday after you left, a fax from Mogi-sensei arrived.
Right. It's okay, I had him do that after he got a hold of me.
Thanks.
Whenever I'm near a person like Kaji-san...
I can't help but feel that the harder I try at this job, the more harm it does to me in the end.
Kaji-san.
Hmm?
Nobody knew that you had already spoken to Mogi-sensei about it.
So everyone was a little panicked when the fax arrived.
The 3 R's... did they not teach you those at the company orientation'?
Y..Yumi-chan...
Where did all that come from?
Huh'? What were those again?
I think it was Report, Relay and... Review?
Relish. Rouse. Respect.
Just kidding.
I'm sorry.
I didn't intend to cause problems.
Hey, Kaji!
This is bad! Mogi-sensei's plane...
they're saying it crashed!
This is bad! Mogi-sensei's plane...
they're saying it crashed!
The plane Mogi-sensei was riding on just crashed near the Himalayas!
It was just reported on the Fuji Network home page!
Hey! Somebody open the Fuji Network page and check!
Oh, I see it!
It's for real!
Plane Crashes Near the Himalayas Novelist Hiro Mogitaka Reportedly Aboard Flight 212 for Kathmandu
Kaji-san?
Kaji-san...
How is she able to keep such a straight face?
At times like these, I'm always calm to the point where it annoys even me.
But even if I were to cry or scream, nothing would change.

I put in a call to his office in Tokyo, but as I expected, nobody was there...
And the manuscript?
We only received 8 pages yesterday.
He planned to complete the remaining 4 during his flight and send them via fax sometime after landing.
12 pages of a serial take up 4 pages in the magazine...
We have no other choice.
Tomorrow is Saturday... Do you think they'll tell us to come in to work?
I don't think that'll happen.
None of us are in charge of that project, anyway.
Even if they decide not to publish the serial, there's no way Kaji-san is going to write 4 pages herself.
Whoever gets saddled with it will struggle to finish in time.
Shut up.
If they drop the serial then they'll just remove those pages, so there'll be no space for anyone to fill.
And even if there was, nobody is going to ask you to do it.
Oh... I see.
Everyone only cares about the damn pages! Why don't they worry about Mogi-sensei a little?!
Magi-sense“.!
A BIG fan
Ultimately, Kaji-san is responsible for the manuscript,
so why is nobody holding her accountable?
Normally, an editor wouldn't let their writer go anywhere without getting the manuscript first.
But, Mogi-sensei told her that he would send the remainder afterwards.
She couldn't easily just say no.
Are you the same, Matsukata-san?
The same as all those guys in our department who treat her like some member of royalty?
Well I...
I'm more disturbed by the fact that Kaji-san is acting so casual despite that Mogi-sensei could be dead.
She's a real mystery.
Always the same calm demeanor. Goes home without batting an eye.
If I were her, there's no way I'd be able to stay calm in that situation.
How does Kaji-san always stay so composed?
I've never seen Kaji-san cry... or even get angry... at all.
Kaji-san is Mogi-sensei's lover... right?
If that were actually true, there's no way she would act like that.
Mogi's plane crashed in an accident... or so I heard.
I can't believe that man would ever die!
And if I can't believe it, then that means it's simply not real.
I also have similar thoughts.
Then... that means he's alive out there somewhere, right?
I was never really afraid of the possibility that Mogi had actually died.
After all, that man's existence upon this earth is so deep and impactful
that nothing in reality could simply take him away.

In order to create anything, one first needs a strong flame to help cast their inner shadow.
Anyone who doesn't need such a flame is a true genius.
The fuel to help burn that flame can be mountains, villages...
rivers, animals... anything at all.
Anything is fine, but women are by far the best.
There's only one problem.
Women sufficient enough to be fuel are rare, so there's always competition for them.
Oh yeah
I'm hoarding the night train now
I'm leaving this town of memories
Matsukata, what's wrong?
I don't have any goal in mind
You look like a statue. I don't have any goal in mind
Huh'? No, nothing's wrong. I don't have any goal in mind
Huh'? No, nothing's wrong.
I just entrusted myself to this swaying train
I wonder what happened... It's rare to see her like that. I just entrusted myself to this swaying train
I bet she's still thinking about the accident that happened yesterday. I just entrusted myself to this swaying train

We should've skipped those conversations
Why is it that despite everything that's happened... We should've skipped those conversations
I still insist on working? We should've skipped those conversations

We should have spent that time laughing together,
Huh? We should have spent that time laughing together,

When the dawn breaks,
I hear from far away in the sky between the clouds
Oh yeah, a sweet voice
It must be you, baby
Your hair is sticking up... It must be you, baby
Your hair is sticking up...
Kaji-san would never screw up and end up feeling how I do right now. Memories ride the night train
Kaji-san would never screw up and end up feeling how I do right now.
She would do everything flawlessly, without having to make a sacrifice.
I stay awake until morning
Why was I unable to handle it the way that Kaji-san does? I stay awake until morning
Why was I unable to handle it the way that Kaji-san does?
Just gazing at the light of the stars
Are you okay? Just gazing at the light of the stars
You have an interview soon, right? Just gazing at the light of the stars
I'm fine! Just gazing at the light of the stars
I'm fine!
Ah, it's almost time. I have to get going to that interview.

Up until now, we've huth hurt each other with them
Our job isn't to create anything.
We don't leave anything meaningful in this world, either.
We waste a ton of paper every week.
Just to pass on some useless information.
So, at the very least...
I want to be able to serve under a real genius.
I wonder if I'm just conceited?
That's it.
It's finished.
It's been a while since I've painted a masterpiece like this!
Somehow it makes me feel so clear and refreshed!
What do you think, Maiko?!
K.. Kaji-san!
Apparently Mogi-sensei is alive!
He was supposed to be on that plane,
but his secretary came down with a fever so they didn't make it!
Instead they ended up going to a hospital in Bangkok.
Which is why they weren't able to get a hold of us until now!
What a relief!
So these kinds of crazy coincidences really do happen.
Yeah, I remember how pale everyone looked after that call yesterday.
He really can't be more lucky than that!
Well, it still would have been nice if he had called a little sooner.
That's great news, Kaji-san.
Matsukata.
Just because you focused on your job, doesn't mean it caused harm. Okay'?
It'll definitely play a role the next time you fall in love.
I see... I get it.
I finally understand what was bringing me down.
Kaji-san is a real pro.
Not as an employee...
but as a woman.
If Kaji-san were in my shoes, she wouldn't have put him through that.
She wouldn't have driven him to say those words...
When I look at you, Hiro...
all I can do is be frustrated with how incapable I am!
It's not your fault, Hiro.
We should... just break up.
