*It's pathetic enough to make you cry.*
**[02:53] Rika**
*I wonder what Ohara-kun thought.*
**[02:58] Rika**
*Looks like he's off today.*
**[03:00] Rika**
*What a relief.*
**[03:02] Nonoyama**
Good morning, Komiya-san.
**[03:05] Komiya**
Good morning. Sure is hot.
**[03:09] Nonoyama**
Whoa, look.
**[03:12] Komiya**
Shinshi-san?!
**[03:14] Isojima**
H-He dyed his hair blond?!
**[03:16] Komiya**
What possessed him to do that?
**[03:21] Rika**
*I can't let things stay like this.*
***SIGN*** Ohara-kun
***SIGN*** Voice call
**[03:48] Takuya**
*I keep asking myself why I went and did that.*
**[03:54] Takuya**
*I want to do yesterday over again.*
**[03:57] Takuya**
*I bet I could reload if this was a game.*
**[04:05] Takuya**
S-Stop that, Kama.
**[04:09] Takuya**
It must be because I haven't
spent enough time around women.
**[04:14] Takuya**
I lost my mind.
**[04:17] Takuya**
Sounds like a junior-high excuse, though.
**[04:20] Takuya**
No, wait.
**[04:22] Takuya**
It could be Honjoji-san was
planning to give me an answer.
**[04:26] Takuya**
Yeah, she's a quiet person. Thirty minutes
of silence might be business as usual!
**[04:31] Takuya**
Did I leave too soon?
**[04:34] Takuya**
No, there's no way.
**[04:35] Takuya**
This is me trying to twist things around.
**[04:39] Takuya**
Wh-Who's there?!
**[04:41] Rika**
Ohara-kun, I'm sorry about last night!
**[04:44] Rika**
I'd like to go out with you!
**[04:46] Takuya**
No, no! That's not going to happen!
**[04:49] Takuya**
Who is it?
**[04:51] Gonda**
Hi there, Ohara-san!
**[04:57] Takuya**
Gonda... What do you want?
**[05:00] Gonda**
Sorry to bug you on your day off.
**[05:03] Gonda**
I need to talk with you
about something, Master.
**[05:04] Takuya**
Gonda.
**[05:05] Takuya**
Give up on Komiya-san.
**[05:07] Takuya**
Office romances are a terrible idea.
**[05:09] Gonda**
Master, you're not doing so hot.
**[05:11] Takuya**
I told you, I'm not your master.
**[05:14] Takuya**
*I don't understand romance or women at all.*
**[05:17] Takuya**
*I'm the one who needs some coaching!*
**[05:20] Gonda**
It's not about Komiya-chan today.
**[05:24] Gonda**
It's about an app!
**[05:26] Takuya**
An app?
**[05:27] Gonda**
Right, a dating app!
**[05:28] Gonda**
I've gotten into this lately!
**[05:31] Gonda**
At first I thought these things
were worthless junk.

**[05:34] Gonda**
But, oh, the encounters you can have!
**[05:36] Gonda**
A woman's heart? I know all about that now!
**[05:40] Gonda**
*I know all about it!*
**[05:42] Gonda**
*All about it! All about it!*
**[05:44] Takuya**
Y-You serious?
**[05:46] Gonda**
What? You doubt me?
**[05:48] Gonda**
Want to join me, then, Master?
**[05:51] Gonda**
Today, I'm meeting up with someone
from the app. You should come along!
**[05:56] Gonda**
I *do* know all about it, but I'm a little
insecure about meeting up with a woman.
**[06:03] Takuya**
Huh?
**[06:06] Takuya**
What?!
**[06:08] Takuya**
G-Gonda, that's you?!
**[06:11] Gonda**
Nice pic, huh?
**[06:13] Gonda**
I've spent sixty thousand on this dating app!
**[06:15] Takuya**
Sixty thousand?!
**[06:16] Takuya**
These apps cost that much?
**[06:18] Gonda**
That's a typical amount.
**[06:21] Gonda**
Everyone's going all-in on apps right now,
so it costs that much to get in the door!
**[06:26] Gonda**
Everyone at work who got married
recently got started with an app.
**[06:30] Gonda**
Like Yoshimura-san at the
head office and Imai-san!
**[06:33] Takuya**
Oh, they did?
**[06:34] Gonda**
Yes, they just don't mention it.
**[06:37] Gonda**
I think it'd be fine if they did, though.
**[06:39] Gonda**
So many people use them.
**[06:40] Gonda**
The era of drinking parties
and mixers is behind us.
**[06:44] Takuya**
Oh yeah?
**[06:46] Takuya**
Oh, but don't you have your
sights set on Komiya-san?
**[06:49] Gonda**
You bet.
**[06:51] Gonda**
But that's like a dream.
**[06:53] Gonda**
I'm not getting any closer to being with her,
but I'm getting older all the time.
**[06:59] Gonda**
The one and only asset I have is youth!
**[07:03] Gonda**
I don't look like much,
and I don't get paid much.
**[07:06] Gonda**
No one's eager to marry a guy like me.
**[07:10] Gonda**
I want to find a companion
while I'm young at least.
**[07:13] Takuya**
So, why am I here with you?
**[07:16] Gonda**
Because, Master, I'm in a bad slump.
**[07:20] Gonda**
At first I tried contacting cutie after cutie,
but they didn't give me the time of day.
**[07:25] Gonda**
Then, when I tried sticking
to my own league...
***SIGN*** ¥5
**[07:29] (Flashback) gloomy woman**
I can see spirits. It's true.
**[07:32] Gonda**
Almost all of those women were kinda scary.
**[07:36] Gonda**
I've lost all my confidence.
**[07:38] Takuya**
What happened to all that energy you had?
**[07:40] Gonda**
Here's where I'm at now.
***SIGN*** Say what
**[07:45] Takuya**
You're wearing that on a date?
**[07:46] Gonda**
Oh, it's not a date today.
***SIGN*** Say what you will
**[07:49] Gonda**
This is a happi coat for an idol
group called Ambitious Seven.
**[07:53] Gonda**
I'm a huge fan.
**[07:55] Gonda**
There are communities on the dating app.
**[07:57] Gonda**
I met this oddball girl who's an Am7 fan,

**[08:00] Gonda**
and we ended up geeking out over them.
**[08:02] Gonda**
Then we decided to do an offline Am7 thing,
**[08:05] Gonda**
and this happi coat is so she'll recognize me.
**[08:07] Takuya**
That's something you do on a dating app?

I adore Mikki from Am7.
I'm looking for someone
who'll talk with me about her.
**[08:10] Gonda**
She's older than me, and sometimes
idol otaku can be unhinged.
**[08:15] Gonda**
Master, if she seems dangerous,
get me out of there.

*My salary's low, and I'm not attractive.*
**[08:38] Takuya**
*And youth won't last forever.*
**[08:41] Takuya**
*I'm not the sort one wants to marry.*

I've got something to say!
***SIGN*** Mikki fan
**[08:57] Kaori**
Mikki sure is the cutest!
**[09:01] Gonda**
I finally found you, Princess!

**[09:19] Kaori**
Anyone who can keep up
with the Mikki Mix on demand
**[09:23] Kaori**
is one cringey Mikki fan.
**[09:26] Kaori**
Well, that's how it goes.
**[09:27] Kaori**
Am7 Mikki fans are weirdos.
**[09:30] Gonda**
Kaori!

I adore Mikki from Am7.
I'm looking for someone
who'll talk with me about her.
**[09:34] Kaori**
Oh, that?
**[09:36] Kaori**
Apps can be scary and all.
**[09:39] Kaori**
You can't go revealing everything up front.
**[09:42] Kaori**
But I couldn't help wanting to
talk Am7 with you, so here I am.
**[09:49] Gonda**
Th-Thank you for that.
**[09:52] Kaori**
Aw, stop talking like that.
**[09:54] Kaori**
Just talk like you do in the community.
**[09:56] Kaori**
We already know each other's true nature.
**[09:58] Gonda**
Th-That's true.
**[10:02] Takuya**
*I'm going home.*
***SIGN*** Ambitious Seven
**[10:04] Gonda**
Wow, these outfits!
**[10:06] Kaori**
This takes me back! Let's get photos!
**[10:09] Kaori**
I love how Mikki's the only one with a ribbon!
**[10:11] Kaori**
So cute!
**[10:12] Gonda**
She didn't have this ribbon at first.
**[10:14] Kaori**
No way, she always had it.
**[10:16] Gonda**
Nope, she added it later.
**[10:19] Gonda**
I saw all their live shows from
that era, so I know all about it.
**[10:23] Gonda**
You didn't see them all, did you?
**[10:26] Kaori**
But I had to work!
**[10:28] Gonda**
Now you see I'm the bigger fan?
**[10:30] Kaori**
Don't let it go to your head, Gon.

**[10:57] Gonda**
It's kinda like being back in school.
**[11:00] Kaori**
But I've got somewhere to go
after this. Sorry.
**[11:04] Gonda**
Oh, okay. That's cool.
**[11:07] Gonda**
Maybe if you have time again...
**[11:08] Kaori**
Hey, Gon-chan.
**[11:10] Kaori**
Let's talk over the phone tonight.
**[11:11] Gonda**
Huh?!
**[11:12] Kaori**
I want to talk more with you about Am7.
**[11:16] Gonda**
Okay, sure.
**[11:17] Kaori**
Really? Okay, I'll give you my number.
**[11:19] Gonda**
It's okay if I call?
**[11:21] Kaori**
It's fine. I've got time starting
at about 10 PM every night.
**[11:25] Kaori**
Oh wait, I never paid for the karaoke.
**[11:27] Gonda**
Don't worry about it.
**[11:29] Kaori**
No, I insist.
**[11:31] Kaori**
Apps are amazing.
I've never had this much fun.
**[11:35] Kaori**
Talk to you tonight.
**[11:40] Gonda**
Totally. Apps *are* amazing.

**[12:11] Gonda**
I talked with Kaori
on the phone again yesterday.
**[12:14] Gonda**
That's three days in a row!
**[12:15] Gonda**
We talk so much together!
**[12:18] Gonda**
It feels like we've been friends for years!
**[12:20] Gonda**
Never would have happened
if we'd met normally!
**[12:22] Gonda**
Apps are the best!
**[12:24] Takuya**
Good for you.
**[12:27] Takuya**
*Suddenly, Gonda's got a fulfilling life?*
**[12:33] Gonda**
Master.
**[12:35] Gonda**
I'm going to do it. I've decided!
**[12:39] Gonda**
I'm going to marry Kaori!
**[12:45] Takuya**
Huh?

**[13:05] Takuya**
Why are we hanging out so much?
**[13:08] Takuya**
Don't you think you're a little hasty?
**[13:10] Takuya**
You still don't know what
kind of person she is.
**[13:12] Gonda**
Oh yes, I do!
**[13:15] Takuya**
*I want to tell him not to rush into this.*
**[13:17] Takuya**
* But I rushed into it myself,*
* so what right do I have?*
**[13:20] Gonda**
Marry me, Kaori!
**[13:24] Gonda**
Maybe I should be less direct than that.
**[13:27] Takuya**
*I'm not really sure, but wow, that energy.*
**[13:34] Takuya**
Hey, Gonda.
**[13:35] Takuya**
Why do you want to get married so badly?

Is it weird to want to get married?

Well, not many people around me do.
**[13:48] Gonda**
You know, I was poor when I was a kid.
**[13:52] Gonda**
Oh, please don't tell Keisuke-san about this.
**[13:55] Gonda**
He'll turn anything into a joke.
**[13:57] Takuya**
S-Sure.
**[14:00] Gonda**
My father was a little problematic.
**[14:02] Gonda**
He was in loads of debt, and
all my parents did was fight.
**[14:06] Gonda**
My big brother and I were close, though.
**[14:08] Gonda**
I don't have many good childhood memories.

I ate lots of ramen and such
back then, and now I love it.
**[14:17] Takuya**
You eat too much.
**[14:18] Gonda**
I was a big dummy who was no good at school,
**[14:21] Gonda**
but thankfully I managed to land a job.
**[14:24] Gonda**
My brother works for the government.
**[14:27] Gonda**
Not bad, huh?
**[14:30] Gonda**
I guess that's why I yearn for
a proper home life or something.
**[14:35] Gonda**
It doesn't have to be anything special,
**[14:37] Gonda**
but I want to marry someone I love,
be blessed with some cute kids,
**[14:41] Gonda**
and enjoy life.
**[14:44] Gonda**
I have a feeling I could do that with Kaori.
**[14:48] Gonda**
Having kids would be great.
I'd be such a loving father.
**[14:53] Takuya**
You have some romantic ideas,
which surprises me.
**[14:57] Gonda**
I said it because it's you, Master!
**[14:59] Gonda**
It must sound gross, coming
from a guy who looks like me.
**[15:02] Gonda**
Yeah, I could never hope to...
**[15:03] Takuya**
Give it a shot, Gonda.
**[15:06] Takuya**
I've got your back.
**[15:07] Gonda**
Oh yeah, you bet.
**[15:09] Gonda**
I'm gonna do it.
**[15:14] Kaori**
*Gon-chan, what's up?*
**[15:16] Gonda**
Kaori, could we meet up now?
**[15:19] Kaori**
*Tonight? Sorry, weekdays are no good for me.*
**[15:23] Gonda**
Please! The sooner the better.
**[15:26] Kaori**
*Well, okay, if it's quick.*
**[15:31] Kaori**
Thanks for waiting, Gon-chan.
**[15:34] Kaori**
What's wrong?
**[15:37] Gonda**
Kaori, let's date and eventually get married!
**[15:51] Kaori**
Do you mean that?
**[15:54] Gonda**
Of course I do! Of course.
**[16:05] Kaori**
Gon-chan, come with me.

Oh, Ema-san. Hello.

I'm not really sure.

Were the two of you dating?
**[19:58] Gonda**
No, it wasn't like that. Uh...
**[20:02] Ichika**
But listen, Gon-chan.
**[20:04] Ichika**
It's a big decision, letting
someone meet your kid.
**[20:07] Ichika**
I'd use my kid to scare away
a guy who won't take a hint,
**[20:11] Ichika**
but Kaori's not that sort of person.

Sorry, Gon-chan.
**[20:24] Ichika**
I guess it's not my place to say.
**[20:35] Gonda**
Master, I'm going to stop talking
about marriage and stuff.
**[20:41] Gonda**
When it comes to marriage, I was all talk.
**[20:44] Gonda**
I wasn't ready at all.
**[20:48] Takuya**
I doubt anyone can be ready for that stuff.
**[20:57] Gonda**
Kaori had faith in me, and I flinched.
**[21:02] Gonda**
I really regret it.
**[21:05] Gonda**
I went and hurt Kaori's feelings.
**[21:11] Gonda**
I'm the worst!
**[21:18] Takuya**
*No, Gonda. You're amazing.*
**[21:23] Takuya**
*Truly amazing.*
**[21:26] Takuya**
* Have I ever taken Honjoji-san*
* into consideration this much?*
**[21:29] Takuya**
*Enough to move me to tears?*
