[bunniefuu]

Can I be of help to you?

Oh, sorry.

I'm putting you on the spot like that.

Sorry.

I like you, Ms. Kana.

As a person and as a woman.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

But can I forget you said that?

Thanks for listening.

Let's go to work.

Sure.

You Want Me to Steal You

Sexual harassment, huh?

Guys fall hard
for straightforward tactics.

They'd fall for
your cuteness in seconds.

This is what Tachibana took to HR, right?

Why do you have a recording?

To cover my bases.

I had a bad feeling about it.

Well...

I have the upper hand though.

Logic is like a useless employee.

It betrays you.

Nicely put.

Sorry Tachibana,

but can you get off me?

I'm married,

and I'm having a child soon.

This is sexual harassment, you know.

I can't let her do whatever she wants.

I'll give this to HR
when it comes down to it.

This isn't normal.

You have to do
at least this much too, Mr. Aizawa.

What is Ms. Tachibana thinking?

Oh, you can't do that.

If you start getting interested,
you'll become possessive.

Then, you'll slowly get obsessed.

October Ginza Branch Sales
Aizawa
Koshinaga
Toyama
Minaki
Kono

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Minaki,
let's go drinking to celebrate.

Sorry, I don't drink on weekdays.

How about the weekend?

Oh, well...

Mr. Minaki, congratulations again!

Thank you.

Section Chief Takano's
one-sided explanations are annoying.

I wish he'd be nicer.

Yeah, we're delicate.

Apparently, another section
has a harassment case, too.

I heard it's an older female employee.

Maybe she's just jealous
we're all younger and cuter.

Nice one.

Ms. Omura. Ms. Koyama.

Can you tell me what you did
while I was away?

Can we do it later?

If it's something you need to prioritize,

then we can do it later.

What work are you doing?

To avoid hurting you with my actions,

I will now record everything.

Also, let me know
if anything feels like harassment.

Can you listen to
the submitted audio file with us?

Of course.

What? You're leaving already?

Let's go somewhere else then.

Somewhere we can rest.

But isn't that a wedding ring?

This is a fake.

Having one makes you more popular.

You remember this, right?

I do, but it wasn't with Ms. Tachibana.

How do you know it's her?

Well, I heard a rumor
that I was with Ms. Tachibana.

She's a newcomer at the Ginza branch.

Wait a moment.

I met this girl through social media.

I didn't know she worked here.

She couldn't tell you
because she was afraid.

And she asked
Ms. Tachibana for her advice.

No way.

We'll be in touch
regarding your punishment.

Good-bye then.

Yes, I've sent an email earlier,

so please take a look.

Yes, good-bye.

Ms. Tachibana.

Shall we go now?

Okay, let's go together.

Okay.

Have a good day.

Good-bye.

Good night.

Rest assured, I will never speak
with you for anything other than work.

You went too far.

All you did was
make the team uncomfortable.

But that was the only way
to avoid any further accusations.

Isn't it just a lack of trust?

They don't even do their work.

Is the work environment
more important than numbers?

You do both.

If you can't handle it,

you can't go up any further.

Kana, I heard you ran into some trouble.

Aoi Minaki
I don't know what the branch manager
said, but I'm on your side.

Can I have a moment, Mr. Aizawa?

Mr. Aizawa?

Oh, sorry.

Please look at this.

Okay.

This, huh?

Yes.

This part here.

Yeah, I think this will work.

Okay.

Mm.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Found you.

You should have a proper dinner.

Here.

Pork rice and chili shrimp.

Wow, this looks great.

Which do you want?

Not sure.

Wow, so good.

Not bad, right?

Yeah.

No, not the pork rice.

I meant me.

Huh?

Don't think too hard. Just rely on me.

I'll always run to your side.

We're talking about having
a party with our team.

Will you come?

I'll pass.

You don't like work parties, right?

I know.

But why don't you chat with everyone
once in a while outside of work?

You know, it might help
our team atmosphere.

I'll consider it.

Ms. Tachibana!

Um...

About Hirano...

I'm sorry I was suspicious of you.

You seemed sick since morning.

Don't push yourself. Go home.

Okay.

You have a fever.

I'll call you a taxi.

What happened?

Are you okay?

You're burning up.

Sorry, it's because I made you
sleep on the sofa.

I'll sleep over there tonight.

I can't get sick too,

and I have to go to work.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

My fever's down, and I feel much better.

Oh, that's great.

Is it okay if I go out tonight?

Yeah.

I'm drinking with my team.

A party on a day off?

Yeah.

You're not being forced, right?

The kids nowadays hate work parties.

Won't they think it's harassment?

What the hell?

I heard from the HR manager.

You're recording
your team conversations, right?

That'll make your reputation go down, and...

And what?

Why are you mad?

I'm just worried about you.

And what?

Tell me.

Recording others...

is embarrassing.

No.

You're embarrassed about
your wife doing such a thing.

What just happened?

What do you watch?

I wanna know.

Horror.

Oh, I love horror.

No way.

I love it more.

Really?

I didn't know that.

Watched anything?

The one with the long-haired woman.

The one that came out recently?

Yeah, the recent one.

I saw it at the theater.

- You did?
- Yeah.

Like a second boom.

Yeah.

Do you like it?

Yeah, I listen here and there.

Oh, that's crazy.

I think a lot of people listen to it.

I think so.

I wonder why.

Huh? Where's Mrs. Aizawa?

She left earlier
and said she'd pay for everything.

I told you, my house is far.

Are you scared of us?

Of course not.

Just get in.

I'm fine.

Come on, don't be shy.

I'm fine, really.

Come on.

Who're you?

My boyfriend.

What the hell?

You have a boyfriend?

Thanks.

Can we chat for a little bit?

Sorry, you went to the trouble
of holding a party,

but I couldn't fit in well.

I'm sorry for forcing you to come.

Minaki, isn't it tough being in the middle?

You don't have to help me anymore.

If it's what you want,

I'll be your ally alone.

You don't have to be
such a nice employee to me.

I want to be one.

I want to be yours alone.

I'm married, you know.

Even so, I like you so much,
I can't help it.

I'm not confused or anything.

You're a good kid.

There's no benefit to liking me.

Liking someone isn't about benefits.

I told you, I'm married.

Even so, is your husband protecting you?

I can do my best at anything
because you're here.

I will protect you.

Last night, I was worried about
if you got home safely.

I thought about
calling you so many times.

I couldn't stop worrying.

But I knew I had to stop thinking about it,

so I came to golf.

And then, here you are.

Could it be...

that you were thinking of me, too?

Sorry about last night.

You remember last night?

I saved your life.

That's true.

Are you cold?

Maybe I caught your cold.

Oh, sorry.

I'm kidding.

Did you drink it?

I wanted some.

Okay, let's go.

Yeah.

Preview

I'm sorry to be like this
after coming to a place like this.

I'm confident that
I can make you smile a lot.

People want to take care of
those who care for them.

Is she taking care of you properly?

The story is completely fiction.
