00:00You came today, too.
00:02Of course!
00:04Seeing you is my solace!
00:06Oh?
00:07Is that so?
00:09Erika, your cool demeanor is wonderful!
00:12I am now Tosato, a 26-year-old office worker in a general company.
00:18She is Erika, a girl at the cabaret club I frequent.
00:22Erika is cool and aloof to everyone, but her standoffish, cat-like attitude tickles the
00:28hearts of customers, making her very popular.
00:32I want her to like me somehow!
00:34Stimulated by such desires, many people request Erika.
00:38I'll get a bottle again!
00:41You don't have to force yourself.
00:43I'm not forcing myself.
00:45I want you to shine.
00:47So this is my true feelings.
00:50You never get tired of this, huh?
00:52There's no way I'd get tired.
00:54I like you, Erika.
00:56Oh, yeah?
00:57There are plenty of cute and friendly girls here besides me.
01:02Choosing me out of all those girls is strange.
01:06Certainly, there are many girls in this shop, and each one is charming.
01:10But I like you because, Erika, you are the best.
01:14I'm the best?
01:16That's why I have no intention of requesting anyone other than you.
01:20Hmm.
01:22Is that so?
01:23Huh?
01:24Oh.
01:25I see.
01:26But that's something anyone would say, right?
01:29Huh.
01:30It sounds like a lie.
01:32It's not a lie.
01:33It's true.
01:34I'm not interested in anyone but you.
01:36Hey, you're getting too passionate.
01:39It's noisy.
01:40Uh, s-sorry.
01:41But, I'll let it go for now, because they're your words.
01:48I'll believe them.
01:50Erika!
01:51Anyway, I guess I'll be entertaining you again today.
01:55Thank you!
01:56Ah, she's just so cute after all!
02:01Meeting Erika is my solace.
02:03No matter how tough things are, meeting her heals me.
02:07So the time I can meet her once or twice a month is precious to me.
02:12Because of that time, I could do my best every day.
02:15But…
02:16Huh?
02:17I can't request Erika today.
02:20Today, a VIP customer has come, and she's attending to them.
02:25I see.
02:26It's been two weeks, so I wanted to see her.
02:29But if I can't request her, I guess there's no helping it.
02:33Ah, maybe I'll drop by next week.
02:36Hey, isn't that Sato?
02:39Sato!
02:41Never thought I'd run into a colleague from the company in a place like this.
02:45Indeed.
02:46I knew you were coming here, but we never bumped into each other.
02:49So?
02:50You're leaving already?
02:52Since I can't request my favorite girl today, I was thinking of heading back.
02:57Huh?
02:58You came all the way here and are going back without doing anything?
03:02What a waste!
03:03Besides, you've been busy with project work lately, right?
03:06You need a break.
03:08Even if he says that, I'm only interested in Erika.
03:11Well, if that's the case, why not hang out with me?
03:15I'll treat you today.
03:17So it's decided.
03:18C'mon, let's go!
03:20Hey, Sato!
03:22Wait, you're surprisingly strong!
03:26How did it come to this?
03:28I'm only interested in Erika.
03:30Sato is too forceful.
03:32Maybe it's my fault for not refusing more strongly.
03:37Are you okay?
03:38You seem lost in thought.
03:41Um...
03:42Are you feeling down because Erika isn't here?
03:45Why would you think that?
03:47Well, she always brags about you.
03:51So I've been jealous for a long time.
03:53Huh?
03:54She brags?
03:56What could she be bragging about?
03:58Take this opportunity to request me from now on?
04:02Um...
04:03Why do I feel an incredibly sharp gaze from behind?
04:10Sharper than a knife!
04:12Hey, Naoto, are you having fun?
04:15Enjoy it to the fullest!
04:16Add a champagne tower!
04:19Oho!
04:20Sato, you are the best!
04:24Ahahaha!
04:25I'll pretend I didn't notice that gaze.
04:30One week later, I had come to see Erika again.
04:33Hmm?
04:34Um...
04:35Erika...
04:36Huh?
04:38Ow!
04:40No, she's even more aloof than usual.
04:44Was that gaze from before really Erika's?
04:47Is she angry because I was with another girl?
04:50Erika, um, about the other day...
04:54Liar!
04:55Huh?
04:56Erika?
04:57Why am I being hugged?
04:59I've never experienced something like this before!
05:03But...
05:04But...
05:05Huh?
05:06You're, uh, stronger, and...
05:08You requested someone else, didn't you?
05:11Um, w-well...
05:14You did, right?
05:17I-I did!
05:19I'm not being hugged.
05:21It's more like I'm being held so I can't escape!
05:24Why did you do that?
05:26You said you wouldn't request anyone else but me!
05:29Uh, well, that, um...
05:32Enough already!
05:34I don't know who you are!
05:37I'm sorry, Erika.
05:39Regardless of the circumstances, I broke my promise.
05:42If you can forgive me, I'll do anything.
05:45There's something...
05:47Huh?
05:48What is it?
05:49I'm telling you to accompany me after this.
05:52If you do that, then I'll forgive you.
05:55Eh?
05:56I've been turned down whenever I invited her before!
06:00Thanks, churro!
06:03Ugh...
06:04Uh...
06:05She came, but...
06:07Still silent!
06:08Is she mad about the other day?
06:11W-what should I do?
06:12This is...
06:13Uh...
06:14Tough...
06:15Um...
06:16About the other day...
06:17I was planning to leave, but...
06:19Um...
06:20Mmm...
06:22E-Erika!
06:23Are you tired of me?
06:25Is that why you requested another girl?
06:28I believed your words, and yet...
06:31I thought you only had eyes for me.
06:33But you were looking elsewhere!
06:35Wait, what's happening?
06:37What does this mean?
06:39Don't get bored!
06:41Just look at me.
06:43Erika!
06:44I...
06:45I...
06:46Ugh!
06:47Huh?
06:48Ugh!
06:49Gonna...
06:50Puke!
06:51Ugh!
06:52Ah!
06:53No!
06:54Wait!
06:55Not here!
06:56Please!
06:57It's fine!
06:58Just...
06:59Ugh!
07:00Okay!
07:01I'm sorry!
07:02Once I settle the payment, I'll go home right away!
07:05No need to rush, but...
07:07That person is important to you, right?
07:10Make sure to take care of her when you bring her home.
07:13W-why would you say that?
07:15Just by watching, it's easy to tell.
07:18She's a bartender who rarely speaks, but she really pays attention.
07:22A gentleman must not embarrass a lady, you know.
07:27What are you saying?
07:28Don't tease me!
07:29Excuse me!
07:32Anyway, I need to take her home!
07:41Erika, did you fall asleep?
07:50You're so cute.
07:52Good job at work, Erika.
07:54Take it easy and have a good rest today.
07:59Next morning.
08:01Good morning.
08:02Uh, Erika, you're awake?
08:05Good morning.
08:06Um...
08:07I have no memory of yesterday at all.
08:11Um...
08:12Did we perhaps cross a line or something?
08:16We didn't!
08:17Huh?
08:18You didn't make a move on me?
08:21Of course not!
08:23She's an important person.
08:25I can't just make a move so easily!
08:27You didn't...
08:28Because I'm not attractive, right?
08:31Huh?
08:32Is something wrong?
08:33No, it's nothing!
08:35I'm really sorry for causing trouble yesterday.
08:38I want to apologize, so...
08:40Could you give me some time on your next day off?
08:43Time?
08:44I want us to go out together.
08:46Is that okay?
08:48I'd love to!
08:50Huh?
08:51But...
08:52Is she not mad about the other day anymore?
08:55What's wrong?
08:57Nothing at all!
08:58Let's not bring up that incident again.
09:02And on the day of the date...
09:04Um, Erika...
09:06What?
09:07Why are we so close like this?
09:10The distance for a date is like this, according to the magazine.
09:14A date?
09:16When a man and a woman go out together, it's a date, right?
09:20Yeah, maybe it is!
09:23Then shall we go?
09:25No...
09:26Can my heart take this?
09:28Oh, it's cute!
09:30There's a character here!
09:32Hey, how about taking a picture together for a keepsake?
09:36Uh, I'm good.
09:37I'll pass.
09:39I see.
09:40Taking a photo together...
09:42I'll be too nervous and my head will explode!
09:45My heart is already pounding too much!
09:48Calm down, my heart!
09:50One hour later...
09:52Look!
09:53A delicious looking crepe!
09:56If you want, have a bite!
09:58Uh, it's okay, really.
10:01You can eat it all, Erika.
10:03I see.
10:04If we eat together, it'll be like an indirect kiss with Erika!
10:08My heart can't handle that!
10:10It'll explode!
10:12Why is she so proactive today?
10:14She's too cute!
10:17Oh!
10:18By the way, the highlight here is that rollercoaster.
10:21If you want, let's ride it together!
10:23It'll be a good memory!
10:25The rollercoaster...
10:27If I chicken out here, it'll be so lame!
10:30Sure, let's go!
10:32Yeah!
10:33However, a little while later...
10:36Feeling sick...
10:38If you didn't like it, you should have said so.
10:41I thought it would be uncool to refuse.
10:44Come to think of it, when we first met, it was like this too.
10:48Back then, I drank too much at a drinking party
10:51and ended up collapsing in the park.
10:54Are you okay?
10:56Um, this is my house, so take your time.
10:59I'm sorry.
11:01Uh, really.
11:03Drinking too much can be tough.
11:05I understand.
11:07You...
11:08My name is Erika Suzuki.
11:11I work at a cabaret club.
11:13So I'm good at taking care of people who have had too much to drink.
11:17It must be tough, even though you're young.
11:21It's a two birds with one stone situation.
11:25I can earn money for tuition while gaining social experience.
11:29Tuition?
11:30Since I found something new I want to learn,
11:32I'm saving money for university tuition.
11:35I see.
11:36In that case...
11:38As a result of this encounter,
11:40I started visiting her club with the intention of repaying her kindness.
11:44At first, I only thought about helping her with tuition,
11:48but before I knew it,
11:50I had fallen in love with her.
11:52I know that Erika is kind to customers as part of her job,
11:56but I can't stop my feelings.
11:58I really do love her.
12:00Are you okay?
12:02I'm getting better, thanks.
12:04Next, let's go on a ride that's not too fast.
12:10Sure.
12:11Let's take it easy.
12:13And so, Erika and I thoroughly enjoyed the amusement park.
12:17Even after that, I continued to visit Erika at the club frequently.
12:21The more I visited, the stronger my feelings grew.
12:24Realizing that I couldn't keep these feelings bottled up much longer,
12:28I decided to confess to Erika.
12:30However...
12:32As I am now,
12:34I'm not worthy of Erika,
12:36who works so hard.
12:38So, if the project I'm currently involved in is successful,
12:41I'll confess.
12:43With a promotion, I can become someone impressive for Erika
12:46and convey my feelings.
12:48Having made that decision,
12:50I worked even harder than before.
12:52However, since I spent most of my time at work,
12:55I gradually drifted away from the club.
12:59I want to see Erika,
13:01but I'll have to endure until work is over.
13:05Huh?
13:06That's rare, a message from Erika.
13:10I have something I want to talk to you about.
13:13When can you come to the club?
13:15Sorry, I can't go for a while.
13:18I see...
13:20Understood.
13:22Next time, let me know when you're free so we can talk properly.
13:26Alright, I got my daily dose of Erika for the first time in a while!
13:30I'll do my best!
13:32And then, a few weeks later,
13:34the work project reached a break.
13:36And now, all that was left was to wait for the results.
13:40Hey, good job!
13:42Good job to you too, Chato!
13:44The project is almost done, huh?
13:46Anyway, it's been a while,
13:48so let's go to the cabaret club and relax!
13:51Girls are the best for a tired body, right?
13:54I also want to see Erika, too.
13:57Oh yeah, about Erika,
13:59she's quitting the club.
14:01What? Why?
14:03Some sort of retirement ceremony or something.
14:06No way!
14:08Apparently, she's getting married to a handsome guy
14:11who was a VIP customer.
14:13I see.
14:15The thing she wanted to talk about that time was this!
14:18So, she's leaving the club.
14:21Forget it. I won't go.
14:23Hey!
14:25After hearing that Erika is retiring,
14:27I stopped going to the cabaret club.
14:29But...
14:31Even though I decided not to go,
14:33it's only been three days and it's tough.
14:36Retirement, huh?
14:38If that's the case, maybe I should celebrate.
14:41I want to congratulate her,
14:43then convey my feelings properly.
14:45It might be bothering for her, though.
14:48I'll go buy some flowers.
14:51Excuse me, I came to see Erika.
14:54Today, I can't request her, but...
14:56Oh!
14:58You're the guy who used to request Erika, right?
15:02Ah! You are...
15:04You came to see Erika.
15:06Isn't it a bit late?
15:08It's free for customers to come whenever they want, but...
15:11If you're just going to toy with her feelings,
15:14could you stay away?
15:16She believes in your words, you know.
15:20I'm sorry for being selfish.
15:22I'm reflecting on that.
15:24I don't want to cause trouble for Erika,
15:26but I have something I want to tell her.
15:28What do you want to tell her?
15:30I love Erika.
15:32I really love her,
15:34so I wish for her happiness.
15:36Please, make Erika happy.
15:40Why?
15:42If it makes you happy, go for it.
15:44You're saying that much, right?
15:46What? But getting married to you...
15:49Marriage? What are you talking about?
15:52Because Erika is going to retire, right?
15:55Ahahaha!
15:59No way! You got it all wrong!
16:02The one retiring is a different girl,
16:04a completely different girl.
16:06Besides, same-sex marriage isn't recognised in Japan,
16:10so it's impossible.
16:12Huh? Same-sex?
16:14I'm... a girl.
16:16Whaaaaat?
16:18I have a hobby of admiring cute girls.
16:21I'm on good terms with the owner here,
16:23and I'm even an investor.
16:25I'm like a patron in a way.
16:27I was worried about our cute princess being down,
16:31so I checked in.
16:33But it seems she's okay now.
16:35Right, Erika?
16:39Erika, you were here?
16:41Well then, you two have a proper conversation.
16:44I'll leave the rest to you.
16:46You've got it!
16:48Um, Erika, I...
16:50I was worried.
16:52Since she arrived,
16:54I felt like you became distant.
16:56Your reactions during our date
16:58were not great either.
17:00Maybe you're not interested in me anymore,
17:02but I didn't want to be disliked.
17:04So I talked to her about various things.
17:07Uh, um...
17:09Does that mean...
17:11I like you now, Till.
17:13When I failed with other customers,
17:15you encouraged and accepted me.
17:17Not just that,
17:20even though I couldn't be honest,
17:22you told me that you liked me.
17:24I feel really sorry for being too standoffish.
17:27Erika...
17:29Now, Till,
17:31can a girl like me become your girlfriend?
17:33Of course!
17:35It's decided!
17:37And thus, Erika and I became a couple.
17:40After that,
17:42when Erika saved up enough for her tuition,
17:44she quit her job and went on to university.
17:46At the same time,
17:48Charo apologized
17:50for giving me the wrong information,
17:52but it turned out to be the catalyst
17:54for us dating,
17:56so I'm grateful to him.
17:58And as time passed,
18:00you're graduating from university this year, huh?
18:02I'm glad I could learn
18:04what I wanted to.
18:06So, after graduating,
18:08will you be my wife?
18:10Huh?
18:12Is that...?
18:14I love you. Will you marry me?
18:16Of course!
