TAPPURI SUNDAY

Tappuri Sunday!

‪Tappuri Sunday!

We're coming to you live today,

in order to start off a brand new Sunday.

-Mr. Tokoshima!
-Yes!

It's Mr. Odagiri's easy
five minute makeover!

He's almost finished.

EASY 5 MINUTE MAKEOVER

I'm even surprising myself.

Let's have Marin turn around.

Okay.

-Wow, how cute!
-She's so cute!

Hey, Nanao,

you said five minutes,

but how long did this actually take?

Believe it or not...

-Don't just stand here! Go to work!
-...it was three minutes and 42 seconds.

Yes, three minutes and 42 seconds.

That's an amazing feat.

-How was it?
-Well...

Mr. Odagiri smells really good.

It feels like it's graduation season.

I don't need to hear about him.

Hey! We're going to be using that soon.

-I'll go buy it.
-How long will it take?

-Twenty minutes.
-What? How many minutes?

T-Ten...

-minutes...
-Run!

-Don't panic.
-Sorry.

Excuse me! Coming through!

Sorry, sorry!

Excuse me.

Do you have Holy Make's pressed powder?

You have it in stock? I'm so glad!

I'm heading there now,
so can you please put it on hold?

AD IDEGUCHI
SENT A STICKER

PLEASE GET THREE OF THEM

All right!

BOOK SALES RANKING

Excuse me! Ma'am!

I'm Umi Shikamori.
I called a little while ago.

-About the pressed powder.
-Yes.

I'll need the receipt.

Here's the money.

Address the invoice to

-this right here.
-Okay.

Thank you.

Oh, and please give me three!

-Please wait one moment.
-Please, give me three!

Wow! I want this. Should I buy it?

Nice, it's still working.

-Hold on a minute!
-What is it?

Your screen is all cracked.

-I'm sorry, I'll pay for it.
-No, it's okay.

Let's get it repaired.

-No, it's okay.
-It's nearby.

-I said it's okay.
-Ms. Shikamori.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you so much.

-Thank you.
-Thank you!

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Wait.

What?

Now it's time to review today's program.

The place our guest, Mr. Kentaro Matsui,
visited was

a ten minute walk to the Ekoda station...

As for the winter edition
strawberry flan we featured,

you can get a 10% discount
today and tomorrow

if you mention that you saw it
on Tappuri Sunday.

As for the products that Mr. Odagiri

featured in his five minute makeover...

-Ready.
-Right over here.

Foundation by Amuse,

Clio's eyebrow pencil, Laka's blush,

and Holy Make's pressed powder.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's good.

Can you give me that too?

-It's heavy.
-Here you go.

Heave-h*.

Umi, you can choose one first.

No, it's okay. I'll never use it.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-Listen to this.
-Sure.

The other day,

my face lotion had separated.

-Gross...
-There were two layers.

Disgusting.

You're supposed to laugh at this.
Please laugh.

Eat this.

I'm starting to pity you.

-Delicious.
-Right?

-Is this boyfriend fried chicken?
-When you say it like that,

it sounds like I deep-fried my boyfriend.

Don't call it that.

This is delicious. It's a winner.

You should get it too.

Fried chicken?

A boyfriend who will make you some.

No way.

-No way.
-What?

You're saying that,
knowing it's impossible.

No, no. That's not true.

First of all, I never meet anyone.

Even if I did meet someone, I have
no time nor days off to go on dates.

Therefore I get dumped.
That's how it always ends.

-I see.
-I already tried.

I'm so glad I'm living with my boyfriend.

Yeah, yeah, rub it in. Thank you.

-You're welcome.
-Yes, thank you!

-Hello, Mr. Okamoto.
-Hey.

-Good work.
-Good work.

Let me help you.

-Here.
-You're the best.

-Thanks.
-You want two sugars?

-Should I add both?
-You know me well.

-Oh, Animal Beauty.
-Yes.

-The script for the interview.
-Yes!

-It'll be ready?
-Yes, by tomorrow.

What time tomorrow?

By noon...

By the crack of dawn.

-You know what, Ms. Shikamori?
-What?

This job is your calling.

We can't run our program
without you, Ms. Shikamori.

Thank you!

-I'll call you after I read it.
-Okay, thank you.

You want coffee?
You like yours black, right, Makoto?

You're impressive.

There's nothing "good" about it.

I'm home.

What?

Hey.

Hey!

You'll catch a cold!

What time is it?

Ouch.

Oh, crap.

Back to work again?

You're a corporate sl*ve.

Then why don't you commute two hours from
our parents' house to go to school then?

Mom and Dad will probably
like that better too.

I'm very thankful,
my slaving older sister.

I'll be off.

Wait! You're going looking like that?

-Yes.
-At least dry your hair!

-It's not necessary!
-Yes, it is!

Sit down!

It hurts. I keep on hitting myself.

-Sit down.
-This is so unnecessary.

No one is looking at me anyway.

Here.

Let me handle it.

-Quickly.
-Okay.

Animal Beauty?

I was finally able to get it
after saving up my paycheck.

You know about it? How surprising.

Well, I'm going back to work now
for a show about this company.

An interview? You're so lucky.
You get to meet Hina?

We'll be interviewing the president.

That part of your job makes me jealous.

Want to use it?

-Me?
-Yeah, I hear it has great color payoff.

No, no, no. I don't need this.

Oh, it's a little dry now.
Perfect. Thank you!

No, no, you can't leave yet.

It's really wet!

I'll let it dry out naturally,
so don't worry.

Stop saying that.

-Thanks.
-Hey!

-I'll be off.
-Okay.

-Be careful.
-Okay.

Animal Beauty

operates the online cosmetic shop,
AB Cosme.

AB Cosme

became the number one online cosmetic
shop ten years after its establishment.

Wow.

It was established ten years ago
by President Keisuke Sakaki.

Ten years ago?

So he was a university student?

Animal Beauty was established

ten years ago by university student
Keisuke Sakaki.

How fast! Amazing! So young! Handsome!

How did they become the number one
online cosmetic shop in just ten years?

What is it?

A simple website
that makes it easy to create an account.

It's so easy.

They also have an overwhelming selection
of brands and products!

Wow, so many!

With an impressive satisfaction rate,
their purchase rate is over 250%!

They have super capable AI and algorithms!

Once it's linked to apps,
you'll never worry about makeup again!

What?

Look pretty in a snap!

It's also easy to place additional orders!

I want it all!

One particular item
they created with their brand

and used the model Hina to advertise,

is the AB Palette.

It has become all the rage
among young people,

and this momentum isn't about

to stop!

Even I know all of that!

-What?
-Hey,

what would you ask this president
if you went out to drink with him?

-His hobbies?
-Yes.

Ask about his day off.

"How much is your annual income?
Do you have a girlfriend?" Right?

I see.

He's young, but has status,
prestige, and money!

Who is this handsome man?

That's what the viewers want!

-I'll fix it!
-Good!

Go! Go, and do it!

This script is full of energy.

-It's best to follow your boss' advice.
-Right.

-The life of a working adult.
-Yup.

-Heave-h*...
-What is that?

-Oh, this? This is...
-What are you doing? Hurry up!

Good morning.

-Ideguchi!
-Thank you.

-Hurry up.
-Morning.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

It's nice to meet all of you!

I'm Daigo, the vice president.

I'm Okamoto, the chief director.
Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Thank you for your business card.

The rice crackers!

It's nothing special, but this is for you.

Thank you.

We will start filming
once Ms. Hina gets her makeup done.

You'll be filming Ms. Hina too?

Yes, well...

I'm sorry. I'll get the chairs out.

I'll help you.

-No need!
-No, I can do it for you!

-No problem!
-Please sit down.

Sorry I'm late.

I'm Keisuke Sakaki, the president.
It's nice to be able to work with you.

I'm Okamoto, the chief director.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

-The filming...
-I'm Keisuke Sakaki.

Looking forward to working with you today.

Oh, okay.

-What's your name?
-There he goes...

His customary greeting has begun.

That takes up a lot of time.

But that's what makes our president
so appealing.

I'm Keisuke Sakaki. It's nice to meet you.

I'm Kaminishi, the assistant producer.

Nice to meet you.

Do you need help?

I'm sorry.

Here you go.

I'm Keisuke Sakaki. It's nice to meet you.

What's your name?

I'm Umi Shikamori.

-Ms. Shikamori.
-Yes.

It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Let's work hard.

Ms. Shikamori?

-Let's check that.
-Okay.

-Hold that.
-Okay.

Good job, Hina.

-You were good.
-That was really good.

-Looks good.
-Yeah.

Can I take one more
that focuses on the makeup?

Yeah.

-Like this.
-Nice. I'll leave it up to you.

-Oda, let's do a test shot.
-Okay.

-Bring the strobe closer.
-Okay.

-Very nice. Right here.
-Yeah.

Mr. Kazao, can you check this?

Okay.

You know him?

No.

Until recently,

it was rare to see men wear makeup.

Yes.

But things are different now.
Society is beginning to accept

individual freedom
instead of seeking social approval.

We want to help people
become the person they aspire to be.

I see.

By the way, is there anything
you aspire for yourself?

Like getting married?

Do you have a girlfriend
that supports you?

Such complicated questions.

Well, our female staff members
are dying to know.

You must be so popular with the ladies.
You're so handsome!

Not at all...

You're so fashionable too.

This entire outfit
was put together by that guy.

What?

I'm not interested in clothes at all.

My friends are always scolding me.

What? Are you serious?

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Where's Ideguchi?
-Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Ideguchi!

-Thank you.
-Bye.

Keisuke.

I was so nervous!

Don't spill unnecessary information.

Good work, Keisuke.

-You too.
-Good work, everyone.

-Look.
-Yeah.

When I spin, the dress fluffs up!

Careful, Hina. It's dangerous,
so don't spin around too much.

Okay.

Good work, everyone.

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry for not saying
anything interesting.

Not at all! It was very good, right?

Yes, thank you.

I understand you,
since I'm all about work too.

Wow, I'm so happy!

‪-What?
‪-What?

I love hot chocolate!

Oh, I thought so! Please take it all home.

Thanks.

Please take the other drinks too!

Thank you for your hard work! Bye!

Good work!

All righty.

Eat this.

Okay.

Thank you.

All righty.

You were a photographer, huh?

Can I get your contact info?

What?

Your contact info.

Show me your QR code.

Okay.

‪KAZAO NAGAMINE

Kaze Nagamine... Kaze?

It's Kazao. Kazao Nagamine.

Kazao... Mr. Kazao.

-I'm Umi Shikamori.
-I see. Umi.

-Nice.
-No honorifics?

Are you free today?

What?

What? No.

No, no, no.

Um, Mr. Nagamine, you're young, right?

I guess so.

Despite my appearance, I'm 27 years old.

Okay.

You should chase after
younger girls your age.

You've got it wrong.

I just want to fix your phone screen.

I hate owing things to others.
So let's hurry, and get it fixed.

I have to go back right away
and work on editing.

-Then Saturday?
-It's the day before the show airs.

-Then Sunday.
-That's when it airs.

-Monday?
-It's the day after, so I'll be sleeping.

-How tiring.
-What? Did you say something?

It's nothing.

-I'm the one that's tired.
-You heard what I said.

First of all, my screen
was already cracked, so no worries.

That's not the issue...

-Good work today.
-I just feel the need to do it.

Hey! Wait up!

-Shikamori! Call a taxi!
-Yes!

This way! Sorry!

-What the hell are you doing?
-Straight ahead!

-Get it together!
-Yes!

Hey, Ideguchi!

Society is beginning to...

What is it? Does your stomach hurt?

-Not really...
-We want to...

-Is it your head?
-...help people

-No.
-Become who they aspire to...

-Everything hurts. I need to leave.
-He's so handsome.

You said that last time.

-Sorry.
-Are you serious?

-So cute.
-How many times has it been now?

I know.

-Shikamori.
-Yes.

He doesn't feel well,
so he wants to go home.

-Maybe it's a fever. My head is burning.
-What about your workload?

If he's not feeling well,
just send him home.

You're okay with that?

You're lucky that your co-worker
loves to work.

What?

-Sorry.
-What?

Thanks.

No way.

No, it can't be.
He couldn't have made a mistake.

There's no way he'd make a mistake.
I trust him.

ZOO EBISU

Yup. He got it wrong.

It's supposed to be written in English!

-Which means...
-Bye.

Bye!

EAST EXIT

There's another error.
It's not the east exit!

He had it correct here.
How could he make this mistake?

10 MINUTES ON FOOT!

2 MINUTES ON FOOT

It's not ten minutes on foot!

I'm very sorry.

So sorry. Please accept this.

-Please.
-Thank you.

I'm very sorry.

-Hey, there.
-Hey.

You're still here?

-Yeah.
-This is for you.

Thank you!

This is a big help. Thank you.

-Hand it over.
-Yes!

It's okay.

Here you go.

Hey!

Hurry up!

No, no, I can't do it!

-You can do it!
-No!

Let's begin filming. Five, four, three...

Go down Komazawa street
and then turn left...

Cut! Let's do that one more time!

Men wearing makeup...

I can't do it!

One more time!

What should I do?

Please come to Zoo Ebisu...

Wow, you had a tough time, huh?
It reminded me of when I was a rookie.

Honestly, I couldn't sleep
for like a week.

-Thanks.
-I thought I would die.

Thanks, Shikamori. Good job.

Thanks.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

I'm okay. Totally.

-Really?
-Yeah. Thanks.

I'm really okay.

-Tell me if you need help.
-Okay, thanks.

Ms. Hina is coming in.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Please sit over here.

Members of Tappuri Sunday are coming in.

Hello.

Thank you.

Once we're live on air,

please enter from that side and sit down.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Society is beginning to accept

individual freedom
instead of seeking social approval.

We want to help people become

the person they aspire to be.

Wow.

Isn't that amazing, Mr. Tokoshima?

He built such a large company
and he's only 30.

When I was 30, I was in t-shirts
and shorts during winter.

-And today...
-Stop changing the subject!

-We have a special guest.
-You didn't laugh.

Animal Beauty's model,

-Ms. Hina, is here with us.
-Unbelievable.

-Thank you for coming!
-Hello.

I'm Hina. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Ms. Hina has been working
as Animal Beauty's model

for seven years,
ever since she was 15 years old.

-Yes.
-And...

-Oh, I apologize...
-And?

-And...
-Yes.

-What's wrong?
-Hm? What's wrong?

Whoa! Ouch!

Are you okay?

Assistant director?

Assistant director?

Good morning.

Are you awake?

Sorry. I haven't slept for three days.

Wow, she's such a hard worker.

She sure is!

-Really!
-Impressive!

This isn't about working hard.

We're in the 21st century, right?

Or is this the early 20th century?

Switch to the commercials.

Air the commercial!

-Thank you for your hard work.
-Likewise.

I'm so sorry.

-Assistant director?
-Yes?

What's your name?

It's Shikamori.

Shikamori?

Umi Shikamori.

Umi.

You did nothing wrong, Umi.

Here's my phone number.

What?

Can I have yours?

Okay.

-I write down my number?
-Yes.

Okay.

TRENDING - NO SLEEP FOR THREE DAYS

SLEEPING ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

Assistant director?

Sorry. I haven't slept for three days.

Oh, crap.

EARLY 20TH CENTURY BOSS

WHAT A HORRIBLE COMPANY

NO SLEEP FOR THREE DAYS?
TIME TO SUE!

I FEEL BAD FOR HER
I WON'T WATCH TAPPURI SUNDAY ANYMORE

What the hell is this?

We're in the 21st century, right?

Or is this the early 20th century?

I WANT HINA TO COME TO MY WORKPLACE

"Tappuri Sunday has always been known
as a toxic workplace."

This is someone in our business.
From a rival TV show.

I was told to give
the sleeping assistant director a PTO.

Unbelievable!

I'm sorry.

I'll talk with the higher-ups about
what to do with you after you return.

I'm very sorry!

Umi! Come here, and sit down.

Come and eat.

-Come on.
-Okay.

All right.

Looks good.

I just threw ingredients into the pan.

Let's eat.

You've always been cooking like this, huh?

I had no idea.

I think it's okay to quit your job now.

But...

It's your fault
for not being able to say no,

but they're the ones
that took advantage of that.

But if I stop working,

I'll have to let go of this place.

I can still go to school.

-But it'll take two hours one way.
-It's okay.

-But...
-Stop with the buts.

Don't answer it. It's your work.

-No...
-Don't say "but"!

I'll hold onto your phone.

-Oh, wait.
-What?

Hold on, hold on.

Hello?

Wow! It's delicious!

I love the sesame! Right?

-Sesame?
-Sesame!

Sesame!

It's so nice that you two sisters
are living together.

I only have younger brothers.

And all three of them
are in the baseball club with buzzcuts.

The washing machine gets full of sand
after washing their uniforms.

It's horrible.

-What kind of situation is this right now?
-I'd like to know too.

What's going to happen with your work?
Did they get mad?

-Yes.
-I knew it.

-Um...
-Why did you come here?

Oh right. I forgot my reason
for coming here.

Here.

This is...

I've known the guys
for a pretty long time.

And before I was hired by an agency,

they helped me with management and stuff.

So I asked Keisuke and Mr. Satoru.

The president and vice-president.

Um...

Umi.

Yes.

Would you like to work with me
at Animal Beauty?

-What?
-What?

NO SLEEP FOR THREE DAYS
POWER HARASSMENT

FOUND A PICTURE OF HER AS A STUDENT

#SLEEPING ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
#CUTE

Ouch.

NO MAKEUP
DIFFERENT PERSON

#DANCECLUB

SHE'S SO CUTE WITH MAKEUP
DANCE CLUB? SHE SHOULD BE A DANCER

What? An interview at Animal Beauty?

Yeah.

What?

It seems like she's serious.

She already talked to the president
and stuff.

It sounds like I can

go in for an interview
as soon as I make up my mind.

That's amazing. What did you say?

"Please let me think about it."

That's understandable.

Because it's Animal Beauty of all places.

They're in a completely different world.

-Umi, you shouldn't...
-What is it?

Is that Ms. Shikamori?

Yes.

-Can I talk to her for a second?
-What?

I'll talk to him.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

Hold on.

Hello, Ms. Shikamori?

-Yes.
-Are you enjoying your paid time off?

I'm sorry to disturb you on your day off,
but can you come in to work?

I have something important
to discuss with you.

Okay.

Does this mean...

that I'm going to be on TV?

It seems like the viewers
really like you, Ms. Shikamori.

First, Mr. Tokoshima

will tease you for sleeping, then you're
going to apologize in front of the camera.

Then you're going to put on makeup
and transform into a beautiful assistant!

Don't worry. I'll help too.

It gives a bad impression
if you're the only one apologizing.

I'll make sure we point out
that it's not your fault.

You'll do it, right?

Um...

Right?

If you do this,
you can work on the show again.

What?

What happened?

Umi, are you...

This right here!
"Vision, along with the times."

What about it?

It'll be good if you say this
during the interview.

-"Along with the times"?
-Yes.

-Along with the times.
-Yes, right.

Times... Along with the times.

Along with the times.

Ms. Shikamori, tell me what you would
like to do at Animal Beauty.

Yes.

I'm attracted to your company philosophy

of "along with the times".

I am currently working
in the editing department of a TV program...

Along with the times...

Your company philosophy
of "along with the times"...

Along with the times?
I was attracted to those words...

Isn't the interview at one p.m.?

It is,

but I'm so nervous that I can't handle it.

So I'll be off.

Hold on! You've got bags under your eyes!

-Look in the mirror, okay?
-Yeah, don't worry.

All right.

Okay.

I'll be off.

Will she be okay?

‪FEBRUARY 2ND
‪WEDNESDAY

I still have four hours.

Okay.

Whoa.

-Why are you here?
-Why are you here?

I just finished a photo sh**t.

Early morning, huh?

We used the sunrise as our background.

And? Why are you dressed like that, Umi?

For an interview.

What? What's with that outfit?

I told you. It's for an interview.

-Umi...
-What?

You'll never get the job.

Didn't it say, "No dress code"?

But don't you have to read
between the lines?

If there's no dress code,
it's always safe to go

in a suit.

I'll go back home.

Oh, crap.

-Here.
-Okay.

-What is it?
-Does this mean you're free right now?

Yeah, the interview is at one p.m.

What?

Hey.

What are you doing? This way.

Oh, okay.

Here, hold this.

What?

Here.

Hurry. Here.

-Here.
-No, no, not that one.

Just hurry up and try it on!

-This one is really impossible.
-It's just cloth!

No. Next.

What?

Next.

This is good.

Next.

-Next.
-Yes!

-How about this?
-Nice.

Very nice!

-Right? Yeah!
-Looks good.

-Next.
-Right.

Look!

-How is it?
-Nice.

Very nice.

Next.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Try it on.

No, no. It's not for me.

Really?

-Hey, Kazao.
-Hey.

Over there.

Thanks.

Welcome.

I'll take your bag and coat.

-Here. Excuse me
-Yes.

-I'll take that bag.
-Thanks.

-Hide the bags under her eyes.
-Okay.

-Give me this for a second.
-Wait, forget that.

-I'll go fix the screen.
-You don't have to...

So Umi, get your face fixed up.

What?

Just this on her eyes.

-Just this?
-Yes.

Bye.

-I'll get started.
-Yes.

Umi.

Hey.

Oh. Here.

Oh, thank you!

-Whoa!
-Careful!

Sorry, I'm not used to these shoes.

Wow, thank you. It's so beautiful now!

-What?
-Nothing.

‪Yeah.

Nice.

Really?

All right, let's go.

Wait.

Thanks for carrying that for me.

No problem.

-Here.
-Thank you.

Don't trip.

I'll be careful.

Nagamine.

Thank you.

I'll do my best!

Okay.

WELCOME, UMI SHIKAMORI
PLEASE HEAD INSIDE

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Your interview is today, huh?

Yes.

I'm sorry it's just a sleeping assistant
like me.

Thanks for the hot chocolate
the other day.

-What?
-It was delicious.

I'm sorry we only prepared
the ones in cans.

It was in a pretty old interview.

With Tada from Axel.

Yes, with other benture,
I mean, venture firms.

All the presidents were together
at a café...

Yes. That's when I said
that I like hot chocolate.

Yes.

That's some amazing research.

Not at all.

It was delicious.

I'm glad.

Good luck on your interview,
Ms. Shikamori.

What?

He remembered my name.

Come in.

Excuse me.

My name is Umi Shikamori.
It's nice to meet you.

You look lovely. Your outfit
and makeup looks good on you.

Thank you.

-Please sit.
-Thank you.

You were a dancer in high school?

Yes, I did it for seven years
from high school to college.

Wow, seven years, huh?
You were determined.

Thank you.

That's a necessary trait
for your current job, right?

Yes, my quick response
to the director's instructions

and firm determination
is something I'm proud of.

Basically that means...

you were doing
whatever your boss told you to do?

Oh. Um...

You bought those shoes today, right?

Yes.

And your clothes?

I bought these today too.

I see.

You're using our palette today,
aren't you?

-Thank you.
-Yes.

How do you like it?

It's very cute!

How's the usability?

Usability?

Like the texture of it,

or the pros and cons
of using this product.

Well, let's see...

Do assistant directors
usually wear makeup?

We don't have much time, so...

I see.

Ms. Shikamori.

Yes.

Please tell me what you would like to do
at Animal Beauty.

Yes.

-In line with your company philosophy...
-In your own words.

Can you do that?

Yes.

What I want to do is...

How are you?

Your junior quit.

I can't get in contact with him.

When will you come back?

Just give me a rough estimate.

Our program can't continue without you,
Shikamori!

Both you and I have worked hard
for the sake of our projects.

It's crunch time right now.

KAZAO NAGAMINE
HOW WAS THE INTERVIEW?

CHINESE RESTAURANT

Let's go for a second round!

I know a good place!

Let's go! One more place.

Welcome.

Hey.

Why do you look disgusted with your food?

I come here five times a week.

Yeah, it's good. I mean it. It's good.

I can tell you're lying.

You look like you're not tasting anything.

You failed your interview,

and you're returning to your previous job.

What else is there?

I don't...

want to go back to work.

Even after you changed into that?

Well, this is how I usually dress.

I guess that's reality.

Your other outfit looked better.

Sorry.

I was happy with the makeup
and the clothes.

I would never have picked
those shoes out for myself.

But...

even though you gave me a makeover,

I was just Umi Shikamori.

Nothing changed.

Sorry.

It's fine. It's your money, after all.

Delicious.

You should eat.

What?

Well, um...

Isn't there anything else you can say?

-Anything else?
-Yeah.

What?

I got it. You're the type that gets dumped
by your girlfriends.

What?

She confesses, so you decide to go out.
But in the end,

she dumps you by saying,
"Kazao, you don't really like me, do you?"

Right?

So what?

You don't understand women at all.

Keep that up and you'll be single forever.
But don't worry.

Then should I have said, "Are you okay?"

Yeah.

Say it.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

‪What?

-You're hopeless.
-Wait.

You said you're okay.

Wow, you really don't get it.

I'm starting to pity you.
You want a lesson? Take notes.

Just say it.

I'm only saying it once, so listen up!

Girls only say they're okay
when they're not okay.

Whoa, I'm serious!
You better take this to heart!

-Say it to me.
-What a hassle.

There's a reward
once you get past the hassle.

I'll survive without the hassle.

Then why did you pick out
my outfits for me?

Oh?

Oh? Oh?

Did you actually think
that I was cute or something?

Are you serious?

If you get the job,
you'll end up being my client.

-What?
-Listen up.

That company provides me with jobs.

You thought I was a nice guy, right?

Fine, fine, whatever. But don't you worry.

I will not be your client. Okay?

DIRECTOR OKAMOTO

Answer it.

I don't want to go back.

To your previous job?

To my...

To my previous self?

You want to change?

Yeah.

I want to change.

Doesn't that mean
you're already starting to change?

Nice. You're already changing, Umi.

I hope you get the job.

But you failed, huh?

Shut up. Just shut up.

By the way, we're splitting this check.

I'll treat you.

Eat up.

Okay.

You want to drink?

Yeah!

This is the best!

-You want fried rice?
-Yeah.

Umi?

You surprised me.

-Hello.
-What's with that outfit?

RESIGNATION NOTICE

Thank you for everything.

Don't waste your talent.

You like this job!

I don't think I liked it.

Thank you very much.

Umi.

You're looking good!

-Hamburg steak!
-Hamburg steak!

Put some more energy into it.

-You can do better.
-No.

-One, two...
-Hamburg steak!

-That's what I'm talking about.
-Okay.

-It's filled with love now.
-Yeah.

-It's delicious now.
-Yeah.

-I'm glad.
-I'm glad too.

It's been a while since you cooked, Umi.

Is it?

Yeah, and applying makeup too.

Is it weird?

No.

It looks nice.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-All right.
-Done.

-Nagi.
-What?

I quit my job.

I think I failed
the Animal Beauty interview too.

Then you're a NEET.

So I'm thinking of going back home
to Mom and Dad's.

So about this place...

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

-Oh, no, is it from your previous work?
-Maybe

They want their corporate sl*ve back.

Please don't say that.

-Hang up if the caller is Okamoto.
-Okay.

Umi, Umi!

Answer it right away!

I see. Animal Beauty
really took a gamble, huh?

Yeah.

I can't agree with you more.

I'm happy for you.

Yeah, I'm glad.

-Thank you.
-Why?

I didn't do anything.

Just accept my gratitude.

Don't get devoured.
