How do you know my daughter?

Huh? Well…

Are you

Haida?

Oh…

Yes.

Wow!

It's been a while.

Thank you for always
taking such good care of Retsuko.

Oh, you're her mother, right?

Yes, it's been a while.

Huh?

Wait, what?

AGGRETSUKO

What a great movie.

Is it over?

Mom?

What are you doing here?

I happened to be in the area,
so I thought I'd stop by.

I told you not to make a spare key!

Isn't this a man's sock?

Are you and Haida

living together?

JOB LISTINGS

You are, right?

Yeah.

You're an adult now, Retsuko.

I won't tell you how to live your life.

You made the decision yourself, right?

Yeah.

I've got plans next week,

so the week after.

Are you free the Sunday after next?

Yeah.

I'm free.

I'll leave and pretend
I didn't see anything today.

Come visit us and bring Haida with you.

Introduce him properly
to your father and me.

You're an adult.

You can manage that, right?

Huh? Oh.

Well, I'm going home.

What?

You're leaving already?

-What do we do?
-What do we do?

She specified a date, so we have to go.

You're gonna tell them you're unemployed?

The companies you interviewed for,
did they get in touch?

What? Oh, right.

I can't remember what they said.

Show me.

HIRING RESULT: ECHINOCOCCUS LTD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR APPLICATION…

"After careful consideration,

we regret to inform
that we are unable to offer

a position suited to your qualifications."

"We wish you the best of luck
with your future endeavors."

So basically, you got rejected?

Yup.

Hey, you have another one.

Oh.

RESULT: MARUKAMA LTD.

"We wish you much success
in your future endeavors."

All they do is wish you luck.

Yup.

We visit my parents in…

PARENTS

…two weeks.

I see.

Haida wants to work in accounting, right?

Yeah. He's applying to accounting jobs.

I see. I guess it's not that easy.

It's so depressing.

I don't wanna visit my parents.

Is your pops the scary type?

What? He's not scary.

Why?

I just thought it'd be funny if he's
the type to snap and lose it like you.

He's normal and nice.

I've never seen him get angry.

So that means you take after your mother?

Cut it out.

THERAPY

Director Ton!

You've become so good at using the mouse!

Hm? You think so?

It's no biggie.

No, really. You're quite amazing!

Actually, I've also been practicing
my typing skills.

What an amazing two-finger typing method!

You mean this? Easy-peasy!

Huh?

AN UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURRED

What the heck?

Hm?

Huh?

-Whoa…
-Whoa…

GENDER: MALE

So you did accounting
at Chararyman Tradings?

Uh…

Well, yes.

Surely they pay better than us.

Oh no, not really…

We would be delighted to have someone
with your skills and experience.

Why did you resign?

Was there a special reason?

If you don't mind sharing,
would you please explain?

Sure.

Well, you see…

…WISH…

Aw, crap.

They wished me luck too.

Sounds like he's got the hots
for you, Tsun. Like, 100%.

You think so too, Ookami?

He's totally into me, right?

You got a picture?

Sure. This is him.

Dang, he's a hunk!

No, not his face. Look at his watch!

Did Haida just walk by?

No way. I'm 200% sure.

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

It's been like this since this afternoon.
It just won't budge!

Can you do something about it?

I have unsaved files.

I see.

This is easy.

I knew you could do it.

So how do we fix it?

Like this.

Hey!

Why did you shut it down?!

I told you I have unsaved files!

It's no use waiting.

You're better off just starting over.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Alright.

See ya.

Hey! Wait a sec!

Stick around for a coffee at least.

Why's it so bitter?

Quit complaining.

Have you found a new job?

Well, no.

I haven't.

Huh? You're still between jobs?

I thought it'd be easy enough
to get another accounting job,

but I was wrong.

I wonder why.

You have to show them you want the job.

You're just asking to be rejected

with that gloomy face of yours.

Yeah, maybe.

I told you not to quit.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Well, I did try to cook the books,
which is a major breach of trust.

Most people would've been fired for that.

I already know all that.

I want to hear

your side of the story.

Nothing I did mattered.

I became overconfident
when President Himuro took notice of me.

I did my best to meet his expectations.

When I realized it was all for nothing,

everything felt meaningless after that.

Like, what's the point?

It wasn't meaningless.

No.

It was all pointless.

Did you know?

We're still using the support system
you programmed for us.

Something made by a total amateur.

Trying to maintain it is absurd.

Yet everyone in Accounting says

they can't do their job without it.

Even Tsubone, believe it or not.

Nothing is ever pointless
when you give it your all.

I'll only say this once.

Don't underestimate

yourself.

VUE.JS: THE BASICS

PRACTICE TESTS

Are you nervous?

Yeah.

It'll be fine.

They won't find out
if we stick to the script.

Yeah.

I know.

Oh my! Welcome!

Um, thank you for--

Don't be shy. Come on in!

Honey!

Haida's come to see us!

My husband took all those photos.

I can show you the ones we keep upstairs.

I don't think that's necessary!

Don't look. This is so embarrassing.

Again, it's very nice to meet you.

My name is Haida.

It's a great honor to, uh,
be with Retsuko as her partner…

Oh please, Haida.

You don't have to get all formal.

It's okay. I've heard a lot
about you from Retsuko.

If I remember correctly,
you work in accounting, yes?

Yup!

Right, Haida?

Yes, that's right.

You're her colleague, right?

Right.

Right, Haida?

Yes.

That's right.

Since you're in accounting--

You must be good at
managing your finances, right?

That's right.

Right?

Yes, well,

it's not really for me to say.

It's such a relief to know
Retsuko can depend on you.

Right?

Oh, no.

I wouldn't go that far.

You know, ever since Retsuko was little,

she's always gotten herself into trouble.

She's all grown up now,

but I still question her decisions
because I get worried.

She gets upset with me when I do that.

I'm so relieved.

Now that she has you by her side,

we can finally sit back and--

I'm sorry.

What?

I'm unemployed.

What? Oh, Haida, you're so funny.

I'm sorry I lied.

I'm currently unemployed.

I was looking for an accounting job,

but I've decided to try something new.

I'm currently studying

to be an IT engineer.

Haida, what's this all about?

This is news to me!

I haven't told you.

But I told you to tell me
what you're thinking!

I'm telling you right now!

So Retsuko,

please!

Father.

Mother.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of Haida
for the time being!

That camera looks pretty old.

It's nothing expensive.

I took our first photo of Retsuko
with this camera.

Since then, I've taken photos of her
with it at every milestone of her life.

I'm sorry.

I know I don't deserve her.

It's fine.

Sometimes life knocks us down
and we struggle to get back on our feet.

What's important is what you do next.

Hey, let's take a photo together
since we're all here.

What? Let's not.

Haida, sit down.

Are you sure?

Honey, would you do the honors?

Yes, of course.

Okay.

Here we go.
