Hotaru no Hikari (2007) s02e06 Episode Script

1
I've also come to a conclusion.
-We shouldn't get married.
-Um…
So…
-Do you…
-I love you.
-Pew pew!
-I really love you.
Pew pew!
We should…
reconsider our marriage.
Huh?
Do you remember
that summer day?
The summer you fell in love.
You told me that
it had been a while
since you last fell in love.
Do you remember his name?
-Makoto.
-How about his family name?
Um…
That summer,
when a Himono-Onna like you,
who can't even remember his name,
fell in love
I was watching you from close by.
As you were distancing yourself from love,
you cried and laughed
over minor things.
You were busy.
You were doing your best.
But it didn't work out.
But you were cute when you did your best.
I found you to be adorable
when you tried your best.
-Manager…
-But not anymore.
I feel like I'm pushing you too hard.
What?
When I see you trying your best
for our marriage,
it makes me feel like I'm pushing you.
Why do you…
You weren't the one
who brought up marriage.
It was me. I thought being married
would make you feel
more secure and relaxed.
During the three years you were away,
I thought that would be best for us.
But…
I see that it's just
making you face hardships.
It's not like that.
You probably never even thought about
marriage, until I mentioned it.
Without my proposal,
you wouldn't have worked towards it.
I think we should
stop being tied down
to the idea of marriage. Be yourself.
We shouldn't get married.
For you.
-But…
-It's not like we'll live separately.
I can still be with you?
Yes, you can.
So we can stay together
without changing anything?
Yeah.
MARRIAGE IS…
We shouldn't get married.
Whatever.
To feel that
even a woman like me could get married…
It's not like he dumped me.
It doesn't change the fact
that Manager is still mine.
Wait…
Is he mine?
He's not mine yet!
Oh!
I should surprise him in bed
and make him mine!
He won't be able to marry
another woman after this.
It serves him right. Let's go to his room!
I'm here.
I'm going to uncover you.
I'm coming in.
I'm going to sleep.
No! I had a feeling this would happen!
It's been too long, I don't remember how!
Ahomiya!
Exile?
Pepper Keibu?
Jiangshi?
Rabbit!
Charades?
I'm so stupid!
Long time ago,
a memory of a distant summer,
my grandma said to me,
"Without clean water, running rivers,
and untouched nature,
fireflies cannot live."
When summer comes, I remember,
that fragile little light
that might vanish at any moment.
This place will be your restaurant, right?
Yes.
I signed a formal contract
with the real estate agent.
Thanks to Amemiya and her colleagues.
Hello!
-Ms. Amemiya!
-Hello!
I want to cut down labor costs…
But I think it'll be difficult
if you do it by yourself.
So when will it open?
We need a bit more time.
Then, when is your wedding
with the manager?
We want to celebrate it
at Mom's restaurant.
Only if the restaurant opens on time.
Please use the restaurant
for your wedding ceremony!
Not for the ceremony,
but for the wedding party.
Oh, right. For the party!
We're not getting married anymore.
He told me we shouldn't get married.
Bye bye Chika.
Thank you for your time.
Amemiya…
When he said you shouldn't get married,
did you just accept it?
Something like that.
Why didn't you discuss it further?
I'm sorry.
Oh, no.
I'm annoyed at him, not you.
He tends to think he's always correct.
Marriage is something you decide together.
It's wrong to try to push
one opinion over the other.
Amemiya,
please don't give up so easily.
-It's going to bother me if you end it!
-Bother you?
You can't put an end to it!
Have a discussion about it.
Okay…
Mom, here!
Oh, yes. I forgot.
Please share this with your colleagues!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You're always so kind.
Same with Futatsugi.
He started saying that we should
reconsider our marriage.
-He said that, too?
-Yeah.
-Ohagi?
-Konatsu made it!
She can make ohagi?
Konatsu was a housewife,
so it seems she can do anything.
Why would Futatsugi say that?
I'll tell you about it one day,
but I've decided
the course I want my marriage
and future to take.
I'll be a housewife after we get married.
Once I told him,
he freaked out,
as I expected.
What are you going to do?
I'll leave him alone.
-Leave him alone?
-Yeah.
I told him everything
I wanted to tell him,
so I'll just have to wait for him
to come to his senses.
You should leave the manager alone
for a while too, Hotaru.
What?
Since he doesn't want to get married,
it means that you can be
with someone else.
-Really?
-Yeah!
Then he'll get all antsy
and find the need to make you his,
and he'll propose to you again.
It sounds like I'd need a lot of skills
in order to do that.
That's not true.
Same as Futatsugi. Just leave him alone.
Let's eat.
Do you think Seno will
really quit this job?
I don't know.
But he's not eager to renew his contract.
Are you okay with that?
Well, Seno likes Amemiya…
I can tell.
Seno likes Amemiya.
So you're going to give up?
Seno likes Hotaru…
Why are you surprised?
-It's me, Seno.
-I know that.
I was asked to come to HR.
Oh, to renew your contract.
I'm not really thinking of renewing it.
Well, the company wants you to.
Here are the documents.
Wait…
-Your face is so small.
-Why so suddenly?
-How old are you?
-Twenty-seven.
You're young.
Is that young? I'm already 27.
Takano is
40!
Why are you bringing up the manager?
-Why are you angry?
-Can I touch you?
-No, no, no.
-Just a little.
Hey…
It has elasticity.
-It repels water, right?
-As much as the average person.
Being young is threatening enough.
What?
So what did she say?
Konatsu said
she'll consider hiring part-time staff.
Booger?
She has a booger on her face.
What's wrong with him?
No, it's not a booger.
He looks struggling…
But it doesn't look like anything
but a booger.
Does he feel okay?
Maybe he's tired.
I hope he's okay. I'm worried.
I'll make a cup of coffee for him.
Amemiya.
You have a booger on your face.
It's not!
This is the ohagi we ate earlier!
It's ohagi. Ohagi!
Ohagi!
I won't care or think about him anymore!
I'll just leave him alone!
-What's this smell?
-Manager!
Yuck!
It smells, right?
It's coming from here. What is this?
This is a pile of
all my tracksuits.
Why did you make a pile here?
To change into them easily and quickly.
I'm going to move it.
Poop! Here, here, here,
and over there!
Does this woman actually poop here?
Does he…
really think I pooped here?
Booger and poop! What's with this woman?
Booger and poop!
Today sucks!
This window was left open.
The cat and his friends are here.
They can poop as much as they want.
That makes sense…
The cat was the perpetrator again, huh?
Yeah! Ahomiya!
I'm sorry.
I wonder if the smell will go away
from my tracksuits?
That's why I told you to
close the windows.
I thought the cat
went on a trip last week.
The cat found friends on his trip
and came back.
We can't be too careful.
All the tracksuits should be discarded.
I can't do that.
They were covered in poop!
It'll be fine once they're washed.
You're thinking of wearing those
tracksuits that were covered in poop?
-It's fine.
-I won't be fine!
From now, every time I sleep with you,
I'll feel like I'm sleeping with poop.
Sleep with me?
You said we shouldn't get married,
but now you're talking about
sleeping with me?
In the end, you just wanted to
get me in bed? Unbelievable!
Who's the one who
came into my bed last night?
He noticed.
Go buy new tracksuits.
Most of them have holes and are stained.
It's a good chance to replace them.
But…
You can use your disappointment savings.
-Disappointed.
-Go buy some tomorrow.
Okay.
While you're at it,
could you buy me a new jinbei, too?
Jinbei? Okay.
Oh, damn it!
I'm supposed to leave him alone.
I don't care about your jinbei! Huh!
Huh!
Blow your nose if it's stuffy.
That's not what this is!
I've decided to leave you alone.
Why?
Why?
Anyway, it's already decided.
Okay.
I'm going to leave you alone!
Huh!
Stock clearance sale!
A pair of tracksuits for 100 yen?
I have to go!
It ends tomorrow. I definitely need to go!
Charcoal grill. Dried fish.
Looks so good!
Dried fish…
This is my chance!
This Himono-Onna! You ate my dried fish!
I guess I'll just relax by myself.
Oof!
No, ignore him!
I've decided to leave him alone!
I have to leave him alone!
Come get me!
M… Manager!
Weren't you going to leave me alone?
Even if you don't come get me,
I can just walk back by myself.
Ugh!
Don't play with my feelings!
What are you talking about? You're the one
who started talking nonsense!
-You did first!
-When did I say something like that?
You said we shouldn't marry.
-That's not nonsense.
-That is nonsense.
I've explained it carefully.
Such explanation is nonsense.
I explained it gently, politely,
kindly and nicely.
Your face is a joke enough!
-What?
-What?
So why did you agree with what I said?
You said we shouldn't,
so I just agreed with you!
-What?
-What?
I gave it up for you!
Well, I gave it up for you
because you said
that you didn't want to anymore!
I gave it up for you!
I gave it up for you!
-It's for you!
-It's for you!
-We gave it up, you know.
-Yes we did.
Well, then I've just made
a marriage-quitter's club!
And I've just joined that club!
So we have two members!
-Good. That's totally fine!
-Yes, it's very good.
For the marriage-quitter's club! Cheers!
Well,
if we're not getting married anymore,
you wouldn't mind if
I become another man's woman!
I may fall in love
with another man quickly.
I might be very popular!
I might meet the man of my dreams
when I go buy my tracksuits tomorrow!
Ahomiya, please!
What?
When you buy your tracksuits,
please buy my jinbei, too.
Good night!
Nobody's going to buy that for you!
Huh! Huh!
You should blow your nose if it's stuffed.
Huh!
As you're leaving me alone,
I don't have any clothes to wear.
I don't have any…
What are you making?
Ohagi?
You can make ohagi?
I should be able to do that,
because, after we marry,
I'll become a housewife.
Since you'll be supporting me.
-Futa-chan!
-Yes.
-It's ready.
-Yes!
-Go ahead!
-Thank you.
-See you.
-See you later.
-I'm leaving now.
-See you later.
-Seno.
-Yes.
Do you have time today?
I want to talk about your contract.
This company would like you to stay.
Mr. Futatsugi told me that, too.
I appreciate that, but…
-And I don't have time today.
-Okay.
GRAB SOME TRACKSUITS 100 YEN!!
Oh, are you going to this? Me, too.
-You are?
-Yeah, the tracksuits are only 100 yen.
It ends today.
I wonder if they sell jinbeis too.
Jinbei?
-For the manager.
-Oh!
The stock clearance sale is here!
Please stand in line! Thank you very much.
-We should get in line.
-Right.
The line is so long!
Is this the end?
Yeah, it is.
How many pairs are you going to get?
How about you?
I have my own preference
so I won't buy whatever they sell.
I have mine, too.
I only get old style ones.
Me, too. Old style tracksuits!
-Soft and comfortable ones.
-Yes!
-It's very smooth.
-It fits well when you lie down.
I need pockets too.
Newer ones don't have pockets.
It's like, where do I
put my coins when I shop?
You go shopping in your tracksuit?
Yeah, my girlfriend really hated it.
-You have a girlfriend?
-I did. Ex-girlfriend.
Do you remember her name?
Of course I do. I was dating her. Satomi.
-How about her family name?
-Family name?
Um…
He can't remember the last name of
an ex-girlfriend.
Like me.
This guy…
might really be a Himono-Otoko.
Oh!
Listen.
It's about Seno.
Yeah, I wish he'd renew his contract.
Really?
Recently, he's more enthusiastic
towards his work.
His plan was also selected
for Konatsu's restaurant.
Honestly, it'd be damaging if he quits.
I see.
Want to grab dinner?
Um, I'll go home.
She cooks more often
because she wants to be a housewife.
Really.
Either she's spoiling me or ignoring me.
-I don't really understand.
-She must love you.
She's willing to quit her job
and follow your life.
Yeah, I know that.
If you make her wait longer,
another guy will take her.
That's you.
Huh?
Listen.
Can I touch you a bit?
-What? No, no, no.
-Just a little bit.
Good luck.
What?
-I grabbed this first!
-This is mine!
-Tracksuits! Tracksuits!
-Where are you, Amemiya?
Where are you, Amemiya?
-Amemiya!
-That's mine! Wait!
Let me see. Let me see.
Oh, I couldn't get any.
Amemiya, I found one!
-Old style tracksuits?
-Jinbei!
Size L must be fine for the manager.
Thank you.
Here you are.
You're from Hiroshima?
Yeah, until elementary school.
My grandma still lives there,
so I sometimes visit her.
But it's really rural. There's nothing.
I could only play in the mountains,
rivers, and her farm.
My hometown is like that, too.
I played in the mountains,
rivers, and my grandma's yard.
-I used to lick nectar off trees!
-I did too!
-Really?
-Yeah.
I got in trouble when I collected
snake skins.
We must be the same generation.
So do you know Batten Arakawa?
Yeah!
You don't need to come back
You don't need to come back
-That song makes me cry.
-Me, too.
It's tear-jerking.
When summer comes,
fireflies fly around my grandma's porch.
I caught one with my hands like this
and kept watching its small light.
That's cute.
It was cute.
It was small but kept glowing.
Do you want to sing another one?
No, I'm going to go home today.
Thank you for finding this jinbei.
Huh?
We had a fight.
With the manager?
It was my fault.
I said something that made him upset.
I couldn't buy my tracksuits,
but I'm glad I could buy his jinbei.
I see.
Then you should hurry up and go home.
I got the check.
I'll pay my half tomorrow at the office.
I'm sorry.
-See you!
-Bye!
There was a scene in an old movie.
They fall in love by accidentally
switching their shopping bags.
You better be careful or else you'll
fall in love with the guy behind you.
What?
Your paper bag is the red one.
What? I wouldn't make
such a stupid mistake.
I'll be fine.
I'm glad I could buy his jinbei.
Ugh!
That's why I told her to be careful!
What?
Amemiya!
You're not the one
who brought up marriage.
I proposed to you.
You probably never even thought about
marriage, until I mentioned it.
We shouldn't get married.
For you.
I thought you went home.
Do you feel awkward seeing him
since you got in a fight?
No…
It's not that.
Then why?
It's windy,
yet you're drinking beer alone.
What were you thinking about?
Umm…
What is it?
You can tell me. I'll listen.
-I can't…
-I might not be relevant, but it bugs me.
But…
It's not that you're not relevant.
What?
He may not
understand that
he is a Himono-Otoko.
Can he help with other people's
relationship problems?
I told you, I'd support you.
I know you really love him.
I thought you and the manager
should be together forever.
So it bothers me if it's not
going well.
It bothers you?
It just bugs me, if it's not going well.
Enough about me. What is it?
If something happened,
I'll help you organize your thoughts.
Hey, tell me.
So…
if I organize my thoughts…
Manager is…
Five, six, seven, eight. Good.
Izaki will run
for the first time in a while!
Why?
So…
the manager suggested
giving up marriage for you,
and you accepted his feelings.
And you told him
you'd give up marriage for him.
What the heck is that?
I knew it was too difficult for him.
It's so easy.
-What?
-You just need to propose to him.
What?
The manager said that
you never brought up marriage, right?
He thinks his proposal
pushed you too much.
So why don't you just propose?
But… Manager said it's for me--
Listen.
At the end of the day, romance is all ego.
-Ego?
-Egoism. About yourself.
You come first.
Don't think about anyone else.
If you love him,
regardless of other partners,
you should tell him that.
That's what love is.
You can't love anybody
if you pretend to be a nice person.
Same with marriage. Propose to him
if you want to get married.
Stop thinking about
if it's for you or for him.
Just tell him you don't want
to give up marriage.
You want to marry him, right?
You don't want to give up, right?
If so, tell him how you feel.
Propose to him.
How?
-How do you know?
-What?
My feelings.
My feelings that I couldn't tell anybody.
How do you know about them?
This guy is not just a Himono-Otoko.
Who the hell is he?
Because I like you.
Because I fell in love with you.
That's why.
I like you.
I like you.
I…
like you.
Oops, what am I saying?
Forget it! It didn't happen.
Erase that memory!
I'm going home.
Bye.
I'm going, too.
Bye.
Wait--
Whatever.
What did you want to talk about?
Actually,
I happened to see you with Konatsu
when I was jogging one time.
But tonight,
I happened to see another pair.
Seno and Amemiya.
They were sitting close to each other,
on a bench, talking.
So what's the problem?
So,
why does this keep happening to me
during my jogs?
What do you think about coincidence?
-I don't know.
-Manager…
I'm sorry but I'm going home. Excuse me.
As I am left alone again,
-I don't have any comfy clothes.
-It's ready.
Here you are.
-Is this…
-Ohagi.
Ohagi, again.
Ohagi will be served forever in this home.
Until it turns out well.
Here you are.
Thank you.
-It's delicious!
-Really?
It's really good.
It's delicious, Futa-chan! I did it!
It's delicious!
I like you.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
I'm home.
You were late.
I was checking the plans
for Konatsu's restaurant.
Thank you for working on it.
I'm going to go change.
Manager!
I have something to say to you.
-Now?
-Now.
Hopefully, now.
I want to say it right now!
Okay.
-Um…
-Let's sit.
Yes…
I…
Yes.
…love you, Manager.
I love you very much.
I really love you. I love you a lot.
I love you much more than three years ago.
-I really love you.
-Okay. I understand that.
Is that what you wanted to tell me?
No…
What?
Did you get your tracksuits?
-No.
-You didn't?
-Yes.
-You went there, right?
I couldn't find one I like.
You came back alone with nothing?
Yes.
Alone.
It was Seno and Amemiya.
They were sitting close to each other,
on a bench, talking.
Okay.
Manager.
Huh?
I did my best for our marriage
because I love you.
I wanted to repay you
for the three years you continued to
think about me.
I did my best to repay you.
When I was doing my best for you,
that was me. That's who I am.
So…
will you marry me?
Please…
marry me.
-Ahomiya.
-Please don't let me go.
Don't leave me alone.
I'll be your woman forever.
Well…
If that's what you want,
I'll quit the marriage-quitter's club,
and make a marrying-people club.
So there are two members in the club.
The limit is two. Nobody else can join.
Let's refuse
even if someone else wants to join.
If one joins without permission?
Is there someone like that?
If one joins without permission,
we'll kick them out!
Can I get closer?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Moving while sitting again.
I think I might kiss you.
Shall we kiss?
Sure, let's kiss.
-This will be our first kiss.
-Yeah, this will be our first kiss.
-How will it be?
-The first one must be passionate!
It'll be passionate?
A hard, passionate, and greedy kiss.
Wow!
So…
Then…
Manager…
Oh,
I was remembering
your imitation of a rabbit.
How did you do it?
Like this? This?
What is that? It's like this.
I can't kiss a woman
with such a weird face.
Meh.
Oh, I forgot.
Huh?
I've got your jinbei.
Here!
Oh, you got it.
Will you put them on? Please.
Okay.
-Please wait for a bit.
-Sure.
I think it fits perfectly on you.
It will suit you.
What do you mean by this?
Don't come closer.
Huh…
What did you mean?
We'll be friends.
My heart flutters. He said he likes me
and my heart fluttered.
I told you I don't want to hear it!
I became a woman, once I met you.
You'll become worthless
once you believe so.
Let's go back
to the porch.
I want to be a part of that.
Here we go!
Coming into my lone heart like that.
A declaration of war?
-Are you anxious?
-Of course.
I want to get married with the manager!
I want to try my best!
