This cheap sweets candy shop is sure to go under sometime soon.
Our sales are only about 40,000 yen a month...
...and our net income minus miscellaneous expenses...
...is too embarrassing to tell.
But...
...that this cheap sweets candy shop is merely some meaningless, pointless thing...
...is something I've never even considered.
What are you doing?
Oh...
Looking at the sky.
I could tell that just by looking.
While looking at the sky...
...just what are you thinking about?
I was just wondering how far and how vast the sky was.
That's pretty uncool of me.
It's like something a middle school girl would say.
Could it be you were thinking about Reiko-san?
What are you saying?
That's a foolish question. Check.
Gou.
Switch with me.
Eh?!
How should I play it from here?!
That would be easier to figure out...
...than figuring out love.
Just what you'd expect from an aspiring screenwriter.
Unlike shogi...
...there's no time to lose when it comes to love.
You never say anything useful, do you?
But Reiko-san is busy, isn't she?
She's one energetic, single mother.
What was that "energetic" part for, you!
Each and every one of you...
Okay... Haruma!
You forgot your bento.
Okay... There!
There, it's in.
Okay, let's go.
There...
Let's go at turbo speed!
We're off!
Let's go at turbo speed!

Here, take care of this.
Yes. OK.
It's great.
I guess Grandma's nukadzuke is the absolute best!
(vegetables pickled in salted rice bran)
Grandma.
Huh?
I have a bit of business to attend to.
I'm going to the wholesaler's, but will you be okay with the store?
Yeah.
Be careful, okay?
Yeah.
Sorry. Take care of things.
Ah, Reiko-san.
Huh?
I didn't have money for cigarettes the other day so I borrowed some from you, right?
I figured I'd return that to you.
Marie-chan, sorry. We can do that later.
Sorry for being late.
The restaurant was busier today than usual.
Ah, I see.
There. Here.
There. Yes.
Ah...
There.
Here.
Thanks.
Eat up.
Yeah.
'Cause my lunch break ends soon.
Itadakimasu.
Could it be it was awful?
Ah, no, no.
It's incredibly delicious.
It's good.
Sorry, but I've gotta get back.
Ah...
About tomorrow...
I'll make the lunch.
Eh?
Since I have the free time.
Making one more or three more isn't that much different.
No, no, no... I'll make it. I'll make it.
Yeah. All right.
I'll look forward to it.
Yeah.
So long.
Yeah.
Sakuraya
There. OK.
Though you just had lunch... you're making a bento?
Ah... yeah...
Look...
It's a little difficult to explain though... Yeah...
I'm gonna take my break now.
Yes!
Reiko-san, you've been quite cheerful recently, haven't you?
Has something happened?
Nothing.
It's nothing.
Eh? Ah...
Hello...
It's been awhile.
You recognize me?
Ah... of course.
You're working here?
Yes, for right now.
Do you have some business with the restaurant?
Ahh...
I'm waiting for Kimura Reiko-san.
Reiko-san? Want me to call her?
Ah, no... I think she'll be out right away, so that's okay.
I see...
Um...
Don't say anything to Reiko.
Eh?
That is, um...
Nothing... I don't want you to say anything to her.
Ah, is that right.
Ah, let's go.
Yeah.
Why did you come to the restaurant?
Because I figured you wouldn't have a lot of time.
You were getting along well there with Marie-chan.
Who?
Marie-chan. That girl earlier.
Ah, no...
No, no, no...
How about here?
Did something happen between you two in the past?
Why would you ask such a thing?
I knew it.
Well, I don't pry into each and every thing about your ex-husband.
I'll tell you, if you ask.
That's okay. I don't want to hear about it.
But I do want to hear about it...
Here.
I see.
You had a relationship with her at the sex district long ago.
Where she was known as "Maron-chan."
No, no, it really is in the past. Really.
If it leads to some strange misunderstanding...
...wouldn't it clear things up for Reiko-san if you told her she was merely a prostitute you hired?
Well...
And besides, you haven't been going to the sex district recently, have you Taro-san?
Wouldn't it be totally okay to tell her?
He always felt the sixty minute courses at the sex district were way, way too short...
...but in a sense, isn't he still going on with those courses by doing this?
Yeah.
That's profound.
You guys are enjoying this, aren't you?
Marie-chan.
She quit the restaurant yesterday.
Ehh...
Don't worry.
I have no intention of prying anymore.
You noticed?
I asked your Grandma about her pickling.
Eh?
I thought I'd find out what your favorite foods were, Taro-kun.
On the sly.
But your Grandma's pickling is far better, isn't it?
No, that's not true.
But I'll work hard at it.
Ah, I gotta go.
Ah...
Ah, that's okay, I'll take care of that.
I'm sorry.
Then, if you would please.
Will you make it in time?
Yeah. If I turbo it, I can make it just in time.
So long.
Yeah.
Sakuraya
Welcome.
Could it be you're Marie-chan?
Eh?
Oba-chan, do you remember me?
Of course I do! You haven't changed one bit!
You're as pretty as you were back then.
Is that right.
But I have changed.
Ah!
You still have these?
That's right.
This brings back memories.
Taro-san.
Ahh...
I went to "Sakuraya."
Eh?
I'm going to be overseas for awhile.
It's possible I won't be coming back to Japan again...
That's why I just had to go to "Sakuraya" one last time.
Ah...
Did you know?
When I was a child, I had a crush on you, Taro-san.
Eh?
I was scheming to get you.
I had this sudden thought.
"If it's against Reiko-san, I might win."
After all, I'm not divorced, nor do I have any children.
Eh? Wa... wait a minute, Maron-chan...
What was that?
Well... Maron-chan...
My name is Marie.
What is this?
I guess you had forgotten me.
Eh? You're really not Maron-chan?
Since Shima-san's closed his bathhouse...
...he's been drinking every day.
But Taro-san, in the end you couldn't tell whether she was Maron-chan or not?
Well... I guess.
You mustn't touch on a woman's secrets.
What are Reiko and your Grandma doing inside?
Ah... they said it's secret, intensive training.
Secrets again?
Like this; from the bottom.
That brings some air into it.
First put some air into it...
...and then...
...squeeze out the air you put in.
But, there's no set way of doing this.
In the end, it's up to your own intuition.
Ah... that's the most difficult part.
Oi, Haruma.
You're a man, right?
Come and hang out with us ojisans.
It's okay to go.
You haven't had a chance to see a cheap sweets shop at night, have you?
They're sleeping right now.
Those cheap sweets.
These ojisans, too...
...are men who are just like those cheap sweets.
At first glance their very existence may seem pointless...
...but depending upon how you view them, they can be the most valuable of things.
What's with you? You've been a smooth talker recently.
Actually, it's true.
I don't understand what you mean.
You don't understand my meaning, huh?
Even these ojisans don't understand my meaning.
What is "nukadzuke"?
Nukadzuke, huh...
It's love.
Yeah...
It's love, isn't it?
What's "love"?
Love is...
Young boy...
Isn't searching for that what we live for?
You only get thirty points for that one.
It's because I've been drinking beer.
Aren't you getting better at it?
Yes.
I saw this on the internet...
...but I guess it's at its most delicious after about four hours?
I wonder...
That's intuition as well.
Ah...
Ala, you have such pretty hands, don't you?
While mine are, look...
But... your hands are wonderful, Oba-chan.
I want to switch with yours.
