01x04 - "Gonsuke chochin" no kai

[bunniefuu]

Thank you all for coming today...

That was my impersonation of Gotaimen Shishou!

I guess you youngsters wouldn't know who that is.

I'm feeling kinda nervous!

Is this the camera?

Is it rolling?

Helloo! I'm Tacchan, 40-years old and divorced once!

I'm currently looking for a woman in her early 20's
who guarantees a successful relationship!

There's this young man named Hayashiyatei Kotora
who is a favorite of mine.

He's been promoted to 2nd billing.

Hold it!

What's "rinki" again?

Envy!

It means jealousy.

What about "senki"?

A disease of the lower body!

It's a S.T.D!

Then why don't you just say so?!
Just say that the S.T.D. is painful!

I don't get this sh*t...

Unlike the opening act, there are many people at 2nd billing.

It's not like they have lessons every single day,
and they don't get paid either, so it's a lot more tough.

Hold it right there!

Well, Kotora has another job so he has nothing to worry about.

Who do ya think you are, bringing this sh*t here!

This is Ryuseikai territory, ya punk!!

Even though he's at 2nd billing, he drives around an expensive car.

So Shishou, why'd ya get married?

Why do you ask?

I'm learnin this story from Brother Donkichi about a married couple.

But I don't understand at all.

I'm single, and lost my parents when I was 12...

Ya don't have to cry or anythin.

Oh.

I want ya to tell me...

What's it mean to be a married couple?

A married couple, huh?

Well, falling in love might be a one time thing...

But there's a time when that feeling never goes away.

And so then you eventually have children...

And you soon have your own family.

How should I put this...
I guess you could say it's unconditional love.

Are you crying?

No, I ain't!
Why are ya answering all serious for, it creeps me out!

A professional story teller like you, blabberin on
with a story that doesn't have a punchline!

Besides, you haven't even protected nor made your wife happy!

Right? You make your wife cry all the time!

You're all talk, ain't ya?
You all-talk-good-for-nothin husband!

Well as you can see, Kotora's the straightforward
kind of guy that doesn't take pity on anybody.

In other words, he has none of the makings to become
a professional storyteller, but ya just can't hate the guy.

Oh no! I gotta go open the store!

See ya later!

Come drop by and have some soba later on!
We're just around the corner.

Alright...Tiger and Dragon!

Was that good?

Editor: sarcasstik

I'm back from my break!

You can go home early today.

Do you have a date today??

It's nothing like that...

If you know what time you'll be back,
I can watch the store for you.

Don't worry about it!
It wouldn't be a date if I knew what time it ends.

Hey, where are ya goin?

He's going on a date!

Don't tell me you're goin out with Megumi...?

Yeah...you got a problem with that?

Well...not if you're going dressed like that.

What do you mean?

Alright, everyone gather around over here!

I'm sorry, I couldn't get anyone to work for me today.

No problem!
I love Tokyo Tower!

I still consider this as a date.

Boy! Can you take a picture for me?

Sorry, Ryuji-kun!

She finally remembered my name!

Oh! So close!

Will attend...will NOT attend...

Nakatani Ken?

Who the hell is Nakatani Ken?

Oh, it's Pops!

He's apparently in charge of organizing
a reuinion for his college's club.

What club?

A gangster club?

I didn't know Pops went to college.

Why don't ya help me if you have nothing to do??

I have a lot to do!

The reason I can't perform often isn't because I suck,
it's because I'm at 2nd billing, ya know?

It normally takes 2 to 3 years, but I got promoted in just 4 months!

In other words, I can't perform because I'm too good!

If you say so.

So what's it like to be a newlywed?

It's great!

Does she wear your shirts and sh*t?

She sure does!

It made me realize that shirts for men
are meant to be worn by women.

Wow...

What are you two blabberin about?!

Sorry, Sir.

So how's Pops' love life goin?

I'm sure he's had a mistress or two since his wife d*ed...

But I doubt he has any plans to get remarried.

That's the spot!

Why don't you try too, Ryuji-kun?

No...we're in the middle of a date after all.

Can you talk rakugo too, Ryuji-kun?

"Talk" rakugo...?
Well, a little.

Are you better than Tora-chan?

Actually, I've never even seen him perform before.

He totally sucks!

But something about him is so persuasive...
You can't help but to listen for some reason.

But he still really sucks at it.

Please wait for a moment.

Hey Ryuji-kun, you tell me a story, too.
I've only heard of the scary manju.

I've already sealed rakugo out of my life.

Sealed?

I'm the total opposite.

I'm really good, but I'm not persuasive at all.

I suddenly realized that one day.

But once you're good at something,
there's no going back.

Enough about that!
It's boring!

It's not boring!

I don't know much about you yet, Ryuji-kun.

What is it?

It's just...

I'm not used to your eyes yet...
If I let my guard down I get mesmerized by them.

I get told that often!

Oh...people tell you that often, huh?

Thank you for waiting.

I'm home!

It's Hot Pot! Let's hurry and eat!
Someone get the sauce!

Looks so good...!
My glasses fogged up!

Not yet!
We have to wait til Megumi-chan comes home.

Right! Not until Megumi-chan comes home.

Hey! Somethin's wrong here!

You guys never wait for me when I come home late!

Actually, I wanna know why she lives here now!

Hey you! Stupid handsome!

Are you dating Megumi-chan?

I'm not, Stupid Afro!

I've been wanting to ask you too.

What's the big idea?

Sleeping in the same room, yet in different futons.
They don't even hold hands...how gross!

You watch us??

I sure do!

I watch you carefully every single night!
Thanks to you, I'm sleep deprived!!

Kotora?

Yes?

I don't like wishy washy things like that.

You too, Mom..?

Say somethin, Shishou!

Oh! So that's why you were asking me about marriage!

What?! Really??

No! That was research for rakugo!

How dare you use rakugo as an excuse
to live out your dirty fantasies! You're only 2nd billing!

Oh no! I'm only 2nd billing, too!

I can't stand it!

I want to become the main act so I can punch you!

Actually, she might not come home tonight.

What?

Well, I told her to never come here again.

I'm kiddin!!

Stop cryin like that! It's silly!

Here's fine.

I live over there.

I actually live over there, too.

Bye bye!

Huh?

HUH??

Megumi-chan doesn't belong to you, ya know?

Megumi-chan is like a mascot for our family.

It's "mascot love"!

That was just bad.

The worst I've heard from you yet.

So, you see, even if Megumi-chan were to bring home a boyfriend,
as one big family, we would welcome him with wide open arms.

I'm home!

Welcome back!

What's goin on here?

I'm starved!

I can't quite grasp the situation here...

W-w-why don't you come in?

If ya wanna say somethin, just spit it out already!

I cherish Megumi-chan as much as if she were my own daughter.

On the other hand, I don't even consider you as a son anymore.

As soon as I pay off this debt, you'll be a stranger to me!

So in order to make things clear...

What is it?

I won't allow a guy like you to have our precious daughter.
That is all.

It's not like I came here to ask for her hand in marriage!

Actually...you shoulda told me that you were livin together!

I walked her home because I'm still 100% interested.

How do YOU really feel, Megumi-chan?

That's right.
Do you love Ryuji-san or Kotora?

Oh I see...!

...Yeah, right!!

Wooow!

That's the perfect example of a "noritsukkomi", Saya-chan!

Can I say somethin?

What is it? You're the representative of
all non-blood related people here.

I've been meaning to say this before...

But I think there's a misunderstanding here about Megumi.

She's actually been divorced once.

She abandoned her husband in Aomori and escaped here.

Then she worked at hostess bar and decieved one guy after another.

She was a terrible woman!

And it was Ryuji that made her change.

You're making everyone uncomfortable...

Shut up.

Show everyone that thing...

What?!

Just show it, ya idiot!

You...!

You show yours, too.

YOU are looking too hard!

It's "Gokai Ikishou"!

Now do ya all understand?

This isn't just a fling,
they're serious about each other!

If ya still got somethin to say, then let's hear it!

Well...let's just eat already.

We'll talk after that...I'm so hungry!
Donkichi, do your thing!

Both my glasses and the hot pot are steaming up!

Yes! Don don...!

It's no use, Ryuji...

Huh?

Sayuri-chan is crying...

How could you do that to the precious
body that we gave you, you idiot!

You just called me a stranger a while ago!

Run, Ryuji!!

Why you....!

You better not show your face around here ever again!

Kotora...

Yes?

You have anything to do after this?

No I don't...

I was planning on telling you eventually...

But please don't tell anybody about this to
all of your brothers and of course Sayuri-chan.

This will be a little secret between you and me, ok?

Whatever...

I found you!!

Shou-chan! Did you gain more weight?

Shou-chan?...What?!

Oh yes...Let me introduce you.

This is Kotora, a new pupil of mine.

This is Mizukoshi Koharu...my girlfriend!

Nice to meet you!
I am Shokichi-san's wife from Kyoto!

W-w-wait!
Where are you going?

This is too much
Too much for me to handle, Shishou.

Why does it gotta be me?
Why are you introducing your mistress to me?

Oh gee...there's nothing going on between me and Koharu-chan!

Right!

Our relationship is totally platonic! Although we may
have kissed 2 or 3 times before when we were drunk!

Don't tell me this sh*t!

I can't handle this! I have the urge to tell
someone, but I don't feel I can tell it well enough.

Don't worry about it.

I'll be able to tell it well.

You're already doing a good job at it.

It all happened 30 years ago
when I was a senior in college...

Ken-chan was my best friend at the time.

We were the president and vice
president of our college's rakugo club.

And we were in charge of organizing
the rakugo club for an affiliating high school.

Shou-chan!

What are making a racket about, Ken-chan?

The high school girls are here on campus!

Pleased to meet you, Senpai!

Koharu was only a freshman when she joined our club.

She was adorable!

Shou-chan, how do you feel about Koharu?

Well...I do think she's cute.

But she's only 16! It's against the law!

That's nonsense!

If lovin a 16-year old is a crime,
I'm guilty of it!

Shou-chan, could ya ask Koharu how she feels about me?

I went to give her the love letter that Ken-chan wrote.

I'm sorry.

I like someone else...

Who..?

Could it be...me?

This can't be good, Koharu-chan!

Ken-chan!

You've got it all wrong!
Ken-chan, wait!!

You idiot!

Whaddya do that for?!

I love her 10 times more than you do, Shou-chan!

But I love Koharu-chan, too!!

We were so young then...

We both thought we were better than each other,
so we didn't want to give her up.

We were always butting heads...

But then we always made up in no time.

I guess you could say we were the
Tiger and Dragon of the Showa Era.

As soon as Shou-chan graduated he became
a professional rakugo storyteller...

But Ryu-chan repeated school until I entered college.

That's right.

He kept saying that he was going to wait for Koharu-chan.

I think he stayed in college for 8 years!

Well, I started dating my shishou's daughter
in order to forget about Koharu-chan.

And well, that's my wife, Sayuri-chan.

I always assumed that you and Ken-chan would end up together...

It's all in the past now.

Anyway, are you going to the reunion?

No...I can't.

But I was looking forward to getting
together with just the 3 of us again.

Things have changed since then.

I have debts to repay now...

Aw...poor Shoukichi-san.

What you smirkin about?

And this Ken-chan you've been talkin about,
I don't know him do I?

He's your yakuza boss.

That's why I...

My pops used to be in a rakugo club?

Well yes...he did the Kansai style...

I don't give a sh*t what kind of style,
all I wanna know is if he can tell rakugo stories.

Um, he...

can.

They were known as Shou-chan from the East and Ken-chan
from the West...people said they were going to become famous!

Gimme a break!

If my pops can do rakugo, then why the
hell did I have to become a student under you?!

I coulda just learned rakugo from Pops!

Oh...you have a point.

What the hell am I doin...?

WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN DOIN?!

Yanaka Shoukichi...
(not attending)

Well, it's probably for the best that he won't be coming.

It'll just be you and me, Koharu-chan...

Oh, you met Koharu-san?

You know about her??

He introduces her to everyone.

I think it was when I was 2nd billing too...
she gave me and my brother spending money.

So he's just showing her off to everybody?
I feel jipped for worryin so much.

Nevermind that!
Look at this!

I got it from Chibi-T.

It's Awashima!!

Bro...?

Hey yo! It's our grand finale here at Club Yose!

It's his part time job.

He really needs to be more
choosey about his jobs...

Give a round of applause...

Jumptei-Jump!!

It is said that women can be taken over by jealousy...

He's gonna do classics in an atmosphere like this?

It could be dangerous being around a woman with long nails.
She sits at home waiting all night, filing them...

They like it!

However there are also women who don't get jealous at all.

It's Gonsuke Chouchin!

Deciding to take advantage of this, a man
got a mistress that lived in the next neighborhood...

However, the mistress was one who never gets jealous either.

At first, things seemed to be going well with
neither wife nor mistress getting jealous over him...

It's getting quite windy outside.

I hope it doesn't start a fire...

Dear?

We have many young workers around here, so even if there
were a fire, I think we would have it under control.

However, the young woman in the other
neighborhood only lives with her maid.

You should go to her house.

Spend the night there, otherwise I won't feel at ease.

Oh...well, I'm grateful!

I'm impressed with how big your heart is.

Well, I should be leaving immediately, then.
It's so dark out...where's my lantern?

Is there a servant I can take with me?

Our old country bumpkin cook is still awake.

You mean Gonsuke?!

No...anybody but him!

Whatcha lookin at?

Oh well...I'll be going
out soon, so get ready.

You better not! What fool would
go out this late at night?

Just light the lantern!

Alright...

Toraji-san, I'm gonna leave.

Hey! Wake up, honey!

Hey, wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up, Shishou!

It's only 3:30 in the morning!

Do the lantern story for your performance tomorrow!

Lantern?!

With the old country bumpkin and...

Oh...you mean Gonsuke Chouchin (lantern)?

Yea! Do Gonsuke Chouchin!

I saw Awashima tellin it.

It was hilarious!

All the young kids...Hey! Don't go to sleep!

All these young kids were laughing so hard!

So I decided that I want to tell the same story,
except using you, Sayuri-chan, and Koharu-chan.

W-w-wait!

So be sure to tell Gonsuke Chouchin
at your performance tomorrow!

If you don't...
I'll tell Sayuri-chan all about the other day!

How could you...?

Hey, wake up!
Wake up, honey!

Oh! What are you doing here?

Er, well, my wife was saying that you
must be lonely on such a windy night.

She said that if I stayed the night with you
it might make you feel more at ease.

Oh my...your wife said that?
That makes me so happy!

Most wives would never let their husbands go,
so I'm just touched by her thought!

If I let you stay here, she might think
that I am a woman with no manners.

I would love to have you stay,
but won't you please go back to your wife?

Oh...I see...alright.

Gonsuke...

Yea?

Gonsuke?

Yea?

Put the lantern on.

Your wife doesn't want you around,
and neither does your mistress...

Master...you're basically homeless.

Oh! You're back already?

You didn't go to the young lady's place?

Oh, I did, and I explained everything. She was delighted!
However, she said she wouldn't know how to face you...

So I'm back now...

Oh my...I'm impressed.

Now I can't let you stay here even more!

Whaaat?

Dear, please go back to her place.

Gonsuke...

Yea?

Put the lantern on!

I left it on!

You idiot!

We have light in the house! It's a waste
to use two things when we only need one!

Well, seems you've been wasting
a lot of things, then.

What did you say?!

You already have a wife, so
it's a waste to have a mistress, too.

I could light a million lanterns if you give up
the mistresses and bought candles instead!

That's so true..!

I'm back, honey!
Hey, honey! I'm back!

Oh! You walked all this way?
What ever is the matter?

Well, I told my wife everything you said,
and she was very impressed and complimented you.

But she said she couldn't let me stay there
for that reason, so I came back here.

I'm so touched!

I would love to have you spend the night, but the
more she insists, the more I cannot allow you to do so.

I REALLY can't let you stay the night!

Please go back to your wife.

I'll...be heading back again, then?

Hey, Gonsuke!

Yea?

Put the lantern back on!

We won't be needing the lantern anymore.

Why?

The sun has already come up.

You're the best, Shou-chan!

You're the best!

What're you so excited for?

He's a lost cause...

What time should I pick you up tonight?

Don't worry about that! If I knew what
time it ends, it wouldn't be a reunion!

Just let me know, and I'll bring the car over.

Nevermind, I said!

Oh well...

I was always plannin on tellin ya eventually...

Huh?

The story about Shou-chan and I...

Shou-chan was my best friend at the time...

We were president and vice president
of our college's rakugo club.

We were also in charge of organizing
the rakugo club of an affiliating high school.

Ken-chan!

Whaddya makin a racket for, Shou-chan?

They're here! The girls from the
high school are here!!

Pleased to meet you, Senpai!

Koharu was a freshman who had just joined the club.

She was just so adorable!

What do you think about Koharu, Ken-chan?

Well...I do think she's cute.

But she's only 16! It's against the law!

Nonsense!

If lovin a 16-year-old is a crime,
I'm guilty of it!

I'll break that law!!

Won't you please ask Koharu how she feels about me, Ken-chan?

I gave Koharu the love letter that Shou-chan wrote...

Stop!!

I'm sorry...it's just that this story seems to be a
little different than the story that Shishou told me.

Actually, it's totally different!

According to Shishou, you were the one who fell in love
with Koharu, and he was the one that gave her your lett...

Stop the car!

Yessir!

Shou-chan met up with Koharu didn't he?

Well...

Tell the truth!

He met up with her, didn't he!!

No, sir!

Then why the hell would he tell you about Koharu?

He must have run out of things to talk about...

Oh...so Koharu means nothing to him. She's just
something to mention when there's nothing to talk about?!

No, sir.

You're sayin that I bought this white tuxedo
just to go see some worthless woman?!

Hey, Tora!

Yessir?

I'm such a hopeless man...

I'm sorry, Sir!

I did go meet Koharu-san with Shishou.
He took me with him to see her.

I knew it!

He still has a relationship with her, doesn't he?!

What?! Ken-chan didn't show up??

But...Koharu (small spring)...

We should have the reunion on a small spring day...

But that's strange that has hasn't come!
You have to talk him into it! Alright, Shibusawa-kun?

I'm so sorry!

I didn't think Pops would react like that...!

Why did you have to tell Ken-chan among all people??

Well, Pops wasn't in that
whole list of people not to tell!

There's some unspoken rules, you know??
Gimme a break...

Well...I don't know what happened in the past...

But if ya ask me, aren't ya draggin this on too long?

You just don't understand, do you?

Huh?

Classical rakugo stories directly illustrate
what it means to be a human being.

If you don't understand what it means
to be human, you could never do classics.

You youngsters...always thinking that you'll
automatically mellow out once you get older.

You've got to be kidding me...life is full
of nothing but regret...

The only thing that changes is that your body
gets weaker and you start running out of time...

The only thing mellowing out is my physical appearance.

Inside, I'm just as rough as ever, just like this meteorite.

That's no meteorite! It's a potato!

Can't ya give me some more concrete examples?

Ok...well, Ken-chan hasn't seen Koharu-chan
even once since he graduated from college.

Well, he gave up being a professional storyteller
and became a gangster instead, right?

So it must have taken him a lot of
guts to make that decision.

After all, he invited everybody but Koharu-chan to his wedding...

I think it was 2 years ago that
Koharu-chan's husband passed away.

He only sent flowers to the funeral but never came in person.

Koharu-san's a widow?

Yea...she followed a college professor who was
20 years older than her, all the way to Kyoto.

Then why don't they just get together??

Pops is single, too!

You just don't get it do you?

Human beings are...

What?

They should just get together, huh?

They should just get together!!

That's right!

You understand what it means
to be human, after all!

Right?

They should just get together!

It is said that women can be taken over by jealousy....

We've been waitin for this!
The Gonsuke Chouchin!

No it ain't!

Jealousy may be automatically associated with women,
but men can be just as jealous.

For example, if left to sizzle, the jealousy of a
man in his 50's may be as fiery as a hot plate.

There once were two best friends
named Shoukichi and Ken.

I can't believe he's using our real names!!

They were both very immature, and were still fighting over
a woman named Koharu, who they'd fought over 30 years before.

However there's no use in fighting over the same thing for so long.

In order to put a stop to this, Shoukichi thought of a plan...

He decided to send out Gonsuke, his servant.

See! It IS Gonsuke Chouchin after all!

You drank too much, Koharu-chan!

Are you serious??

Kotora-chan!!

She seemed to be in a bit of a drunken frenzy,
but he wouldn't let that get in the way.

He somehow managed to get her into the car...

It's all in your hands to take Koharu-chan
to Ken-chan's house, alright?

You don't care, Shishou?

About what?

Well...you love Koharu-san, too...

Don't be ridiculous. I have my precious
Sayuri-chan, and my beloved family.

Although Ken-chan has his son, he must be having
an especially lonely night, so I'm counting on you, ok?

And so tonight you'll be staying at the Boss' place.

How the hell am I supposed to get there...?

Why don't you use the car navigator?

Koharu suggested Gonsuke to use a lantern to light the way.

And so they managed to make it to Ken-chan's house.

Ken-chan!

Is that what Shou-chan said?

Yes, Sir.

Tryin to act all cool...

She's waiting in the car, so I'll go bring her.

No!

Huh?

It was Shou-chan that fell in love with Koharu first.

I wouldn't know how to face him
if I let Koharu stay here.

So I can't allow her to spend the night here.

I understand.

Hey! Take her to Don-chan's place!

Tell him that I told you to do so.

So that's what Ken-chan said..?

Yea.

Whaddya wanna do?

Take me to Shoukichi-san's house!

And so Gonsuke put the lantern back on,
and they headed for Shoukichi's house in Asakusa.

Shoukichi! Wake up!

Spend the night here?!

You brought her here??

Yea, she's waitin in the car. I'll bring her.

Wait!

I can't understand ya! What is it?

How am I supposed to explain this to Sayuri-chan?

Yea...you got a point there.

It's not like you could let her stay here, huh?

It was Ken-chan that wrote
that love letter, you know?

If I let her stay here, it'll be the same thing
all over again! I won't know how to face him! Got it?

Oh! Sayuri-san!

Just kiddin.

What did he say?

I'll explain the details later, but
we're headin back to the Boss' house.

Shishou and the Boss are lucky
that they're so high in rank...

I'm a human being just like them,
yet things are so different for me.

In my next life, I wanna be reborn
as a teacher or a gangster boss.

It's no fun being a pupil or a henchman.

This story seems a little too realistic to me...

Where are ya goin?!

I'm gonna go talk to him myself!

Hold it! This can't be good!

My father says that he has no recollection of writing a letter.

That can't be!! I have it right here!

See!

You have it? Let me see.

No!

There's no way!

Well, in any case, I won't be able
to let you stay the night...

I'm sorry, but please leave.

Come on, Kotora!

Yes, Ma'am.

Bro! I'm sorry about this...my dad's just so stubborn.

Actually, can ya please drive for me?

Whaat?

I'm so tired after takin all these detours...

You're so lucky that you didn't take after your father.

Yea, I get told so often.

Your mother must have been very beautiful.

Not really...

Then why do you have such a pretty face?
Let me touch it!

That's dangerous!

Hey, lady!

Did Pops really write that letter?

I forget!

Whaaat?

Shut up! We're going back and forth like this
in order to figure out who really wrote it!

Oh my! If it isn't Koharu-san!!

I'm sorry to bother you so late at night!

What? You two know each other??

We often talk on the phone!

Although we keep it a secret from Don-chan!

Come on in!

Hellooo!

Why, hello!!

What are you doin here?

That's what I wanna know...I thought your
pops just told ya never to come here again!

Well, I called, they told me that Dad wasn't home so I
pounced on the chance and came home for dinner!

Oh, Shishou's not home?

I keep telling you!!

It was Ken-chan that wrote the love letter
and all I did was give that letter to Koharu-chan!

I think it went like that, too...

But Pops insists that he didn't write it.

That's a lie!!
Even if I were the one that wrote that letter...

Let's not talk about this in front of my son!

So did ya write the letter or not?!

Just leave me alone already!

Who cares?
It happened 30 years ago, didn't it?

WE CARE!

I'm sorry...

You're so lucky that you didn't take after your father.

Yea. I get told so often.

Although my brother took after him quite a bit...

What are you doing here in the first place?

Well it seemed entertaining!

Uh...You migh break it...

Don't ya have a key?

No.

I keep tellin ya!
It was Shou-chan that wrote it!!

Shou-chan insists that it was you who wrote it!

No! Just leave! Please leave!!

Won't ya please leave me alone...?

Look what you did.

We're completely on the green area.

My bad.

I thought it would be boring to take the same road again
but I guess my ad lib driving got us in trouble...

What the hell are we doin?
Lettin these old men tell us what to do.

Yea...you're not the type to
get jealous are ya, Bro?

That's not true.

When I heard this guy was on a date
with Megumi, it pissed me off a little.

Are you for real?

Just a little.

But it was my first
feeling of jealousy ever.

Whoa...

That makes me feel...

Happy.

Whaddya mean happy?!

Well it would kinda piss me off
if you said you didn't feel anything at all!

It totally pissed me off when I saw
you walk out of a hotel with Megumi that day.

I apologized about that already.

It's not about apologizing and sh*t, don't ya think?

I'm kinda...extremely pissed right now!!

Huh?

What's this sh*t about hotels and dates?!

This is the first time I've heard it!!

Why the hell would we have to tell ya about it?

I don't believe this...It was ME who found her first!

Who cares already?
You're datin Risa now.

That ain't the point!!

What's going on here?
Why are ya guys teaming up against me?!

I thought we were Tiger and Dragon and Silver (Gin)!

Silver's not even a living thing...
It's a color.

Actually, can I just say somethin here?

What is it?

Koharu-chan reminds me of Megumi.

You have a point!

Gimme a break...

The cheeriness...how self-absorbed she is...

I bet once we're old we won't remember
who was the one that went to the hotel.

I highly doubt that!!

Sorry.

We deserve it don't we?
After doing so much just for her?

Wait a second!

What?!

If the sender is Yanaka, Ryuji drives us home.

Alright! If the sender's Nakatani, you're driving!

Here goes...

There's no name..!

Try inside!

What does it say?

I will continue to love you...
Even 30 years from now...

I can't believe it!
It's gotta be your pops!

No...

Is it MY pops??

No.

(naka[tani/ya]naka)

Which is it?!

Nevermind. I'll drive.

Are you sure?
It's not like we can use the navigator.

We don't need the navigator anymore...

So bright...!

Are you serious?

And so the sun came up.

Tiger, tiger, jirettaiga (I'm irritated)!!

Here's your curry rice!

Well after you gave out our real names...
I was going to expel you if the audience didn't laugh.

But it was quite good!

Thanks...Well, here's this month's lesson fee.

Well, here's the money for this month...

I saw ya take one bill out!

Oh, you can tell, huh?

Well...I provided a lot of your material
so I figured I deserved at least this much...

You've gotta be kiddin me.

Oh...I'm sorry!

Well, it's Ken-chan's money, after all...

That's right.

Oh...well, about that love letter.
I seriously have no recollection of writing it...

Who gives a sh*t, already?!

Yes, Sir!

Ken-chan!

If you're ever in the neighborhood again, give me a call.

Alright.

And also...

Nevermind...

What is it?

Well...it's been 30 years since then...

And...I realize that I still love you after all.

Ken-chan...

Let's go.

So it was you who wrote it after all.

I told ya to go, idiot!!

Oh! Sorry, Sir.

How could she have forgotten...

Adrian!!
