I do it all the time, but it never gets easier. and here on Odaiha, we will see scattered rain showers continuing until about midnight this evening.
Oh, Hiro'?
Sorry. As expected, I can't make it today.
3 seconds of silence.
She's angry, but holds it back and instead says...

Did your date get cancelled again?
Keep your nose out of my business! Ow! Ouch! Owie! Owwww!
Senpai! Your grip is too strung! It hurts! Please let go!
Matsukata's boyfriend... what kind of job does he do again? Senpai! Your grip is too strung! It hurts! Please let go!
I'm asking you to cut it out! Seriously!
Contractor at a major construction company... or so I hear. I'm asking you to cut it out! Seriously!
It hurts so bad! Ow! Ouch! Why won't you believe me?! Cut it out! Please... Senpai! Ahh!
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

Oh crap. It's really starting to come down now.
I can hear it pounding on the roof.
Damn it! The forecast is never accurate!
Yam ash iro-san .
We're heading out for some drinks, would you like to join us?
Oh, sorry. I'm worried about the weather tonight, so I'll pass.
I see...
Well then... we're leaving.
Sure, I'm okay here.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Later.
Good work today!
Well... if he actually came, it would put a real damper on the party.
But we at least have to try to invite him, you know'?
He is the site foreman, after all.
But if the site foreman tells me it's okay to go, then I'm going!
He'll probably need help tonight, which is why we asked, but...
Well... he let us go, so why worry about it?
Yeah. You're right. Let's go.
This should hold for now.
He said that heavy rain can cause damage to the foundation.
He's staying the night to keep watch and cover it with sheets if necessary.
Eh? I didn't know a site foreman did that kind of work.
It's because of that he's had to cancel a number of dates with me.
Honestly, sometimes I think he cares more about his job than me.
Isn't that true of you, too?
I suppose so...
We're both like that, which is why our plans never seem to work out.
And so, that's why you called me to come fill in as the Hataraki Man's boyfriend.
I mean, I waited months to get a reservation for this place!
Come on, we were going out to eat either way.
Well, I don't mind.
So, how have things been lately?
Nothing's changed... leading a sexless life, the same as always.
Why is nothing done in moderation with you? Neither work nor men.
Moderation? I don't want to hear that from a woman having sex
with a different man every day of the week.
Where is the moderation in that?
Better than having none, Hiroko.
For you two as a couple, it's going to lead to problems down the road.
If you don't do it every so often.
What?
Lately, I can't even get wet...
Excuse us!
This extra spicy bibimbap meal is really tasty.

It's been a long time... since I had to write something I didn't like.
Wasting time on an article about an athlete's affair...
There's hardly any impact... except the damage done to the athlete's reputation.
I always do my best with any assignment...
but this made me wonder what benefit there is to that.
Hiro is really admirable...
She's doing her best... with the job she was given.
I'm nothing like that. Love is something

Yam ash iro-san !
Oh, excuse me.
So you never made it home last night?
Huh?
We've already finished the morning radio calisthenics.
Good work on refilling the foundation.
Ah... of course.
If things got to the point where we couldn't make any progress,
all the workers would just go home, you know.
Sorry to make you worry.
We pack dirt around the foundation to prevent it from falling apart, similar to a retaining wall.
But if that dirt gets washed away by something like heavy rain, it can become a major problem.
Way back... when I first started this job, I made a huge mistake with that.
And I still get harassed about it.
Ready on that side?
Hup!
The workers will never forget.
I'm very sorry.
You know, an apology won't fix this mess.
Nothing can be built... on a foundation of apologies! Got it'?!

Right now, there are people fighting on the front lines of Japan.
Our society has become complacent from peace, but some still fight for change.
I want to do a biographical article focusing on them.
The point will hinge on who I choose... and how many.
My title will be "The Seven Samurai."
Okay! I'm going to make this happen!
Huh?!
Huh?
You were in there?
Don't give me that!
The lights are on, so obviously somebody was here! Open it back up right now!
I'm done!
Narita-san. Please review my pitch.
R-right...
Okay. Then I'll see you all tomorrow!
It seems her date didn't get cancelled today.
She sure is easy to read.
That's for sure.
No problem, I'll be right on time.
Oh shit! Because I went home to get changed, now I'm super late!
Sorry!
You're late!
You said this was to make up for last time, but now you're late AGAIN.
I'm really sorry!
I should have just met you directly at the restaurant.
I was actually thinking about calling to tell you.
Whatever.
I'm not going.
"I spent last night in the rain shoveling a mountain of dirt into place"... is not what I should say.
That's why... I'm sorry!
I'm not angry because you were late.
I'm angry because you think anything can be settled with an apology.
Beyond being late, do apologies just smooth over any problem you have?
You know, an apology won't fix this mess.
Nothing can be built... on a foundation of apologies! Got it'?!
You thought about calling me, but didn't because you just thought, "It'll be okay," right?
I get the feeling different people are all telling me the same thing.
Hiro is the most harsh about it, though.
I don't think that.

Yam ash iro-san !
Yes?
About this area here, the H-beam is too long. So unless we cut it off from the top, it's unusable.
If we separate it and have it removed, then it's going to cost extra.
Ah... but... then, let's separate it.
Huh?
I mean, we'll do it, but...
We'll just have to burden the cost.
This is because you didn't do enough!
Hey, cut it out.
This could be avoided if you had done enough research and planned it properly from the start!
Don't make us do work we shouldn't have to!
If it takes all day to cut through that steel beam,
then it means we can't get anything done today that we needed to!
I'm very sorry.
Don't dump your problem on everybody else!
I'm very sorry.
That's enough, man.
I mean, come on!
It's fine. We'll deal.
He just doesn't get it!
Is that how they see it?
I intend to contribute to the work as well...
Aside from putting more effort into it, what else can I do?
Yes? Hello?
Ah, lshimori-san!
Yes, it's been some time.
What's going on?
What?! No way! Wh-why?
Yes... What?!
Tell them I'd prefer not to!
Nobody ever mentioned a transfer to me!
Yes. Yes. No, I wasn't told.
Huh'? No, I'm telling you that nobody told me!
Yes. Okay.
Then if you hear anything else, please let me know.
Okay. Talk to you again.
Jeez, I can't believe that...
My meat sauce!
Huh?
Why didn't you come stir it for me?!

Uh... right. Sorry.
I mean... it's not like I was the one making it.
I have to stop thinking like that.
Sorry. I just want to finish this little bit.
Working on a new pitch?
Yeah.
I wasn't happy with how that last article turned out in the end.
So this time I have to make something I'm really satisfied with.
What is it... that I want to do?
What part of my job can I say that I enjoy?
What part of it can I say that I made?
Goodnight.
Okay. Goodnight.
Yes, hello?
Ah, good morning.
What?!
A transfer to sales'?
You have excellent manners, so I know you'll do good work there.
When the building you're working on is finished, a formal notice should come.
I'll be in touch with more details soon.
That's all for now. Good luck.
Huh?
I feel like bragging about you to someone
Am I... I feel like bragging about you to someone
actually... upset over this? I finally know what ran 0H' and disappeared
It wasn't sumehudy's depressing words
Yamashiro-san? It wasn't sumehudy's depressing words
It's dangerous over there. It wasn't sumehudy's depressing words
It's dangerous over there.
Only those few words you casually spoke
Made me realize
Miracles are by no means a rarity
If our sorrow is to continue on
It's just... if I knew I would feel so much regret, I should have worked harder from the start. If our sorrow is to continue on
It's just... if I knew I would feel so much regret, I should have worked harder from the start. Then it's alright it we just forget that

But you can't let that misery reach the heart
If you do your job in a way you might regret, you'll end up regretting it even worse in the end. But you can't let that misery reach the heart
You know, the things that we've lost over time
Probably won't he found again
We've accepted that fact
That's why, uh, even someone like me
When did I become like this?
Feels like boasting to the world about you
Maybe it was back... when I realized I wouldn't be doing what I wanted to. Feels like boasting to the world about you

It's alright if we forget

But regardless of whether I do or not, I don't want to leave any regrets. It's alright if we forget

That's what I think. Spending every day like that is just fine
