Katsuragi Flower Shop
Hey!
When are you going to wake up?
Let me sleep a little longer.
No way!
l slept very late last night...
Hey!
Come on! Wake up!
What's wrong with you? You're like this every morning!
You promised to help out with the store when you don't have school.
Can you get up right now and eat your breakfast?
l can't get anything done around here.
Anyway, l'm counting on you!
Geez, why does she walk around in those clothes?
l got so hard because of her.
There, there. You're such a good girl!
Good night, Shino!
Mama has to go to work soon.
You're finally awake.
l'm going to make some toast right now.
Mai, did you hear from my big brother?
No.
l can't believe him.
He shouldn't have chosen to work away from home.
Can't blame him.
They need people to help out down there.
But you know, you just gave birth.
Does he not care?
You're left here to take care of both the store and the baby.
l don't know if that's how a husband is supposed to be.
Listen!
When you're old enough to start working...
...you'll understand what Shigeki is going through.
And so l'm going to need you to work real hard today.
Work hard today? Don't you mean every day?
You don't need to talk back to me every time!
Anyway, end of conversation.
Come on. Hurry up and eat!
Help me clean the store, will you?
l want to take some time to eat my breakfast.
No way!
We're getting a new employee today.
So, we need to clean the store more than usual, right?
That should do it.
Tsutomu!
What are you looking at?
You're very skillful as always.
Of course!
l'm a professional.
Well, l'm going to deliver this.
l'm leaving you in charge of the store.
l almost forgot.
lf the new employee comes, tell that person to wait until l get back.
Take care of Shino too.
l'm counting on you.
Yeah, yeah...
Boring...
Huh? A customer?
Let's see, this flower's name is...
An iris!
l'm sure of it.
That's a lavender.
Lavender?
Ah, that's right...
You're right.
lt's a lavender.
My mistake.
l have much more to learn.
You're one of the employees, right?
ls Mai here?
No, she's out for a delivery.
Are you the new employee who's going to start today?
Yes, my name is Kozue Takama.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, hi... My name is Tsutomu Katsuragi.
Nice to meet you.
Mai is back.
Mai!
Oh, l didn't know you were here.
Long time no see, Mai.
lt'll be nice working with you from here on.
Likewise.
Hello? Shigeki?
Well, Kozue. Please come in.
This room is filled with a flowery scent.
Kozue, you don't need to talk to me in a formal way.
l'm younger than you, so...
Nope. l can't do that.
You've been working longer at this store, so...
...it's important to establish a working relationship.
Are you serious?
Are you serious? Hey!
Looks like Shigeki might be able to come home tomorrow!
That's great, Mai.
Well, Tsutomu. Don't worry about out here.
l want you to go inside and clean the house.
What? Right now?
Of course!
Shigeki is coming back, you know!
This is what l'm talking about.
Kozue, Mai doesn't treat people very well.
You should be careful.
Just go, will you?
Yes, yes.
You don't need to say it twice!
Yes!
Geez!
He's a punk, isn't he?
Huh?
My brother isn't back yet?
l'm home...
l knew it.
Welcome home...
Did you eat?
l ate with my friends.
Drinking in despair?
Right.
My brother is really unbelievable.
Really.
You drank too much!
What are you doing?
Give it back!
Just give it to me!
You drank too much.
Stop acting like you're my guardian.
Mai, you work way too much.
We can't get by if l don't work really hard.
Shigeki isn't here, you know.
l'm lonely.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Well, l'm really sorry. lt's just, l...
Wait a minute, Mai...
l like you, Mai...
l've always liked you...
Um...wait...
You said you liked me.
So...
What do you want me to do?
Um...
You shouldn't have to think really hard.
Wait, no...
This is bad!
What's bad about it?
lt's...
Sorry!
Geez! You apologized again!
Well, it's just that l climaxed so fast.
But, it's still really hard!
Now, l want you to do me.
No! lf you suck too hard, my milk will pour out!
No! lt's coming out!
l drank your milk.
lt doesn't taste good, right?
lt's not meant for adults.
Your milk tastes delicious.
lt feels good...
No!
Be more gentle.
Hey, be more gentle...
Do me.
That tickles.
Let's stay like this a little longer.
What happened last night wasn't a dream.
No!
Mai?
Let this be our first and last.
This is just wrong.
We both had a dream.
That's what l think.
Thank you very much.
Ah, Tsutomu. Are you heading to school already?
Yeah.
What time are you getting back?
l don't know.
l see.
See you later.
Mai.
Did something happen between you and Tsutomu?
Nothing at all!
Did you two get into a fight?
You two are acting weird these days.
R-Really?
l think we're always like this.
Then, l have nothing to say.
lf something is bothering you, then feel free to come to me for advice.
Thank you very much, Kozue.
No! l shouldn't depend on him!
What's happening to me?
l can't stop!
l love you, Tsutomu...
l love you...
Tsutomu!
l'm always thinking about Tsutomu.
Hello? Shigeki?
No, l know you're very busy.
Don't worry about it.
No, l'm fine.
Shino is doing well.
Tsutomu?
Yes, he's doing well.
l'm sorry. l'm just...
No, it's nothing...
Yes, the store is doing fine.
l have to go, honey...
Good luck with your work...
Yes, l love you too...
Did it feel good?
You idiot! l can't believe you just did that!
What if Shigeki finds out about us?
My brother is the one to blame!
Leaving a cute person like you to be all alone...
lf l were him, l would never leave you out of my sight.
l'll always be by your side!
Hey, you shouldn't play with yourself.
You knew?
That's just sad.
l've always wanted to do it too... With you that is.
No, l was always holding back.
lf l don't, then l would always be depending on you.
That's fine. You can depend on me.
Where did you get that?
Shigeki got it for me a long time ago.
Really? My brother got that?
You like that kind of stuff, huh?
Can l use it too?
Yeah, l thought about you, and...
You were saying my name out loud.
You were eavesdropping?
l just heard your voice.
No, it's embarrassing...
You were using it before.
You're so mean...
No...
l'm...
l'll climax...
l'm going to do lots of exciting things for you.
Do it...
Do me more...
l'll climax...
No! Tsutomu!
Yes!
l love you, Tsutomu.
Good morning!
Good morning, Kozue.
You're smiling today.
What's wrong? Are you feeling ill?
No, l'm fine.
And click this one!
Mai?
l'm fine.
Really. l'm fine.
Um, where's Tsutomu?
He doesn't have any classes today...
...so he's helping me out with the store.
Kozue, good morning.
Good morning.
Well, l'll take care of this side.
Sure, thanks...
l don't know what happened, but you two are getting along just like before.
Wait, maybe it's a bit different than before.
R-Really?
Yes.
Anyway, it's nice working with you again.
Yes, let's do a good job.
l'll do the cleaning.
Thank you.
l put the flowers in front of the store.
Thanks.
No, this is too embarrassing.
Kozue is going to notice.
Did my brother do this kind of thing for you?
No...
Then, you have to enjoy it.
l'm serious. We're about to start work.
H-Hey!
Please, Tsutomu!
No...
Kozue will...
Show me how it is right now.
But...
lt's cute, Mai.
lt's embarrassing.
lt's making me moan out loud...
Not if l do this.
Done!
No matter how hurt l am...
...l can't put into words how l feel.
l'm in a small town...
...and l shed never-ending tears.
Days that l can't see you...
...are almost the same as testing my own feelings.
Why is it that l don't know what l've got until it's all gone?
When l was with you...
...l felt like l was at my best.
l hate to admit it, but that's how l felt.
lf l could turn back the hands of time...
...l'd make sure that next time...
...l'd choose you.
