[01:57] Ohana
    I happened to witness
    something outrageous.
[02:01] Ohana
    Isn't that what people call...
[02:04] Ohana
    "a love triangle exposed"?
[02:12] Ohana
    Min-
[02:14] Ohana
    Minko...
[02:18] Ohana
    H-Hey...
[02:19] Minko
    Shut up.
[02:21] Minko
    Don't talk to me.
    Don't even breathe!
[02:24] Ohana
    But then I'll die...
[02:29] Nako
    Morning, Ohana.
[02:32] Nako
    Minchi?
[02:34] Tomoe
    What's wrong with her?
[02:35] Nako
    Has something happened, Ohana?
[02:39] Ohana
    Umm...
[02:44] Ohana
    Well...
[02:50] Both
    What?!
[02:51] Nako
    Tohru?!
[02:52] Tomoe
    But why Fukuya?!
[02:54] Ohana
    I'm just so lost...
[02:56] Jiro
    Would you mind...
[02:58] Jiro
    ...telling me about this in greater detail?
[03:16] Guy
    Minko.
[03:18] Guy
    Fetch me a grater from storage.
[03:20] Minko
    Yes, sir.
[03:24] Minko
    Tohru's late today, isn't he?
[03:28] Guy
    He's not coming in today.
[03:30] Minko
    What do you mean?!
[03:31] Guy
    I need that grater now.
[03:35] Minko
    Yes, sir.

    Episode 5: A Tearful Chef Romance
[03:44] Ohana
    He's been offered a better job elsewhere?!
[03:46] Jiro
    That's what I've concluded
[03:48] ---
    from the information I've gathered.
[03:51] Tomoe
    What information?
[03:53] Jiro
    I always thought that
[03:54] ---
    I was more suited to writing a detective novel
[03:56] ---
    than erotica.
[03:58] Jiro
    In order to write my novel with
[04:00] ---
    this shabby hot spring district as the background,
[04:02] Jiro
    I've been gathering information
[04:03] ---
    about the people here and their secrets.
[04:06] Ohana
    Wow, a detective novel...
[04:08] Tomoe
    Who cares about that?!
[04:10] Tomoe
    We need to
    discuss Tohru's job offer!
[04:12] Jiro
    "Who cares"?
[04:13] Jiro
    Whatever.
[04:16] Jiro
    Did you know that...
[04:18] ---
    our manager and Fukuya's manager
[04:20] ---
    have been rivals for a long time now?
[04:27] Tomoe
    Yeah, I've heard the rumors.
[04:29] Jiro
    Well, while looking for a way to crush Kissuiso,
[04:32] Jiro
    Fukuya spotted Tohru.
[04:35] Jiro
    The loss of a talented chef would be
[04:37] ---
    a huge blow to Kissuiso.
[04:41] Tomoe
    Then that must've been...
[04:44] Tomoe
    I saw it last night!
[04:50] Tohru
    Are you sure, Mr. Ren?
[04:53] Tohru
    You'll be okay without me?
[04:56] Ren
    I can keep things going here
[04:58] ---
    even when you're not around.
[05:00] Tohru
    Okay.
[05:09] Tomoe
    I think he might've been discussing
[05:12] ---
    his job offer with Mr. Ren.
[05:14] Jiro
    Fukuya is a four star inn.
[05:17] Jiro
    People have a brighter future
    working there than here,
[05:18] ---
    since we don't get as much business as them.
[05:20] Ohana
    That's saying too much, don't you think?
[05:21] Jiro
    Mr. Ren pointed Tohru,
    who has great talent,
[05:24] ---
    towards a better path.
[05:27] Jiro
    That's my conclusion.
[05:29] Nako
    But that's so sudden...
[05:31] Ohana
    We didn't even have the chance
    to throw a farewell party for him...
[05:33] Jiro
    But Tohru sure is good.
[05:36] Jiro
    He's already gotten friendly
[05:37] ---
    with the successor to Fukuya-
[05:39] Minko
    That's not true!
[05:41] Nako
    Minchi!
[05:44] Minko
    He may appear abrupt and cold,
[05:47] Minko
    but in reality he treasures
    the people working here
[05:50] ---
    and his job more than anyone else!
[05:51] Minko
    There's no way that
    Tohru would do something like that!
[05:55] Jiro
    Am I going to be killed with a grater?
[05:56] Tomoe
    Fine! Let's ask him ourselves!
[06:00] Minko
    Actually, Tohru isn't...
[06:04] Tomoe
    He's not in today?
[06:06] Jiro
    We were too late.
[06:08] Jiro
    He's flown the coop...
[06:11] Jiro
    leaving us behind.
[06:18] Nako
    Minchi...
[06:25] Ren
    The white croaker will soon be done.
[06:27] Ren
    How's the pepper leaf bud doing?
[06:28] Minko
    It'll be finished soon.
[06:32] Minko
    Why...
[06:34] ---
    did Tohru leave for Fukuya?
[06:37] Ren
    You're serious about
    being a chef too, right?
[06:41] Minko
    Yes.
[06:42] Ren
    Then you'll eventually find out the answer yourself.
[06:44] Minko
    But-
[06:47] Ren
    That's what happens
    when you don't focus.
[06:48] Minko
    I'm sorry.
    I'll finish cutting these-
[06:50] Ren
    Are you out of your mind?
[06:52] Ren
    Do you plan on
[06:53] ---
    handling the customers'
    food with your hand like that?
[06:56] Ren
    I'll do the rest!
[07:01] Ohana
    Minko...
[07:03] Tomoe
    My, my. This is a pretty bad case.
[07:06] Tomoe
    Although, you can't exactly blame her.
[07:07] Tomoe
    Her savior's no longer here.
[07:10] Ohana
    Her savior?
[07:11] Tomoe
    The one who allowed her to work here
[07:15] ---
    was Tohru actually.
[07:17] Tomoe
    Apparently,
    Minko wanted to be a chef
[07:21] ---
    without even attending high school.
[07:24] Tomoe
    However, her parents were against it.
[07:27] Tomoe
    She refused to give up her dream,
[07:29] ---
    so she started
    looking for places that would train her.
[07:32] Minko
    I'm begging you.
[07:33] Minko
    Please let me work here!
[07:35] Ren
    But...
[07:37] Sui
    Your parents are against this, aren't they?
[07:40] Minko
    But...
[07:42] ---
    I...
[07:43] Tohru
    Being a chef isn't as easy as you think it is.
[07:46] Tohru
    Do you think you'll be able to keep it up?
[07:49] Minko
    Yes!
[07:53] Tohru
    Then show me what you can do.
[08:12] Minko
    I'm finished.
[08:18] Sui
    It's rather thick, isn't it?
[08:19] Ren
    Too thick.
[08:20] Tohru
    I'm appalled that you decided to
[08:22] ---
    become a chef with this level of skill.
[08:27] Sui
    She still has a lot she needs to work on.
[08:31] Tohru
    Madam Manager, Mr. Ren,
[08:33] Tohru
    could you let her work here
[08:35] ---
    until she can at least be of some use?
[08:38] Tohru
    Although she's still a rookie,
[08:40] ---
    I can tell that she has the right mindset.
[08:45] Sui
    What do you want to do, Mr. Ren?
[08:49] Ren
    You're in charge of
    training her in the basics.
[08:51] Tohru
    Yes, sir.
[08:52] Tohru
    What are you looking so dumbfounded for?
[08:55] Tohru
    Chefs need to wake up early,
[08:57] Tohru
    kitchen hand.
[08:59] Minko
    Th-Thank you!
[09:02] Ohana
    I see...
[09:05] Tomoe
    Check up on her, okay?
[09:12] Tomoe
    Nako and I will finish the rest.
[09:14] Ohana
    Okay!
[09:36] Minko
    Tohru...
[09:40] Ohana
    H-Hey, Minko?
[09:44] Minko
    Don't you have duties to attend to?
[09:46] Ohana
    I'm here because
    I'm worried about you.
[09:49] Minko
    There's no need to worry.
[09:53] Minko
    I wonder if I can work at Fukuya too...
[09:57] Minko
    I guess not with my skill...
[10:01] Ohana
    I-I'm sure you can!
[10:04] Ohana
    Tohru will recommend you for sure!
[10:06] Ohana
    Just like he did
    when you first came here!
[10:08] Minko
    H-How do you know about that?!
[10:10] Ohana
    I'm sure Tohru'll be
[10:12] ---
    glad to work with you too.
[10:14] Minko
    You balut!
[10:17] Minko
    There's no way I can go and work at Fukuya!
[10:19] Minko
    I got a job here thanks to Tohru!
[10:23] Minko
    There's so much I need to repay Tohru,
[10:26] ---
    Madam Manager, Mr. Ren,
    and the inn itself!
[10:29] Ohana
    But you were just saying that
    you wanted to go to Fukuya...
[10:33] Minko
    You misunderstood me.
[10:36] Ohana
    You're amazing, Minko.
[10:37] Minko
    What?
[10:38] Ohana
    Whether it's work, love, or personal matters,
[10:40] Ohana
    you're giving it your all.
[10:43] Ohana
    I want to cheer you on!
[10:47] Ohana
    You need to chase after him!
[10:49] Minko
    But...
[10:50] Ohana
    You can't work without him, can you?!
[10:56] Minko
    Get out...
[10:58] Minko
    Get out, balut!
[10:58] Ohana
    M- Minko?!
[11:02] Ohana
    I've been locked out...
[11:08] Ohana
    Minko must really like him...
[11:13] Ohana
    Falling in love with someone
    must be incredible...
[11:18] Ohana
    Ko must be feeling the same way...
[11:23] Ohana
    Ko...
[11:26] Enishi
    Don't expect too much.
[11:29] Enishi
    After all,
    it's just a regional festival-
[11:33] Enishi
    Now, I didn't say it was pointless, Takako.
[11:38] Enishi
    She screams about everything.
[11:40] Enishi
    Now, where did I put it...
[11:44] Enishi
    What?
[11:45] Enishi
    Aren't you supposed to be working?
[11:47] Ohana
    Well...
[11:48] Enishi
    Oh!
[11:49] Enishi
    Do you mind lending me a hand?
[11:52] Ohana
    What?
[11:55] Enishi
    Let me know when you find the bonbori.
[11:57] Enishi
    Just look in any of the boxes.
[12:00] Ohana
    Okay...
[12:05] Enishi
    You know what they look like, right?
[12:11] Ohana
    Maybe I didn't
    understand a single thing at all...
[12:19] Enishi
    Bingo! That's it.
[12:22] Ohana
    Is this for the Bonbori Festival?
[12:24] Enishi
    You've heard of it?
[12:25] Ohana
    Wow, it's so pretty!
[12:30] Ohana
    What's this at the bottom?
[12:33] Enishi
    It's a wish card.
[12:35] Ohana
    A wish card?
[12:45] Enishi
    If you write your wish on it
[12:46] ---
    and tie it to the bonbori,
[12:49] Enishi
    a god will use it to illuminate
[12:51] ---
    his path home back to Izumo,
[12:53] Enishi
    and in return, he'll grant you your wish.
[12:57] Ohana
    Wow...
[12:58] Enishi
    But only hardworking people
[13:00] ---
    will have their wishes granted.
[13:03] Enishi
    People like you who don't work
[13:05] ---
    won't have their wishes come true.
[13:06] Ohana
    Hardworking people...
[13:11] Enishi
    But will we really get more customers
[13:14] ---
    if we make our bonboris look more modern?
[13:17] Enishi
    Well, it's not like I'm
    going to disobey Takako's orders...
[13:20] Ohana
    So hardworking people will
[13:22] ---
    get their wishes granted, right?
[13:24] Enishi
    What?
[13:25] Ohana
    Let me borrow this!
[13:27] Enishi
    What?
[13:29] Minko
    Balut! Balut! Balut!
[13:32] Minko
    That idiot doesn't understand anything!
[13:45] Ohana
    Minko!
[13:46] Ohana
    Let's go and drag Tohru back!
[13:49] Minko
    What are you-
[13:50] Ohana
    He may be sharp-tongued,
[13:52] ---
    but he's more determined than
[13:54] ---
    anyone, and kinder than anyone, right?
[13:56] Ohana
    He may appear abrupt and cold,
[13:58] ---
    but in reality he treasures the people
[14:00] ---
    working here and his job more than anyone else, right?
[14:02] Ohana
    And he has this much hair,
[14:05] ---
    and his eyes are slanted upwards, right?!
[14:07] Ohana
    We can't lose someone like that!
[14:10] Ohana
    So-
[14:11] Minko
    You don't understand anything.
[14:14] Minko
    Tohru was invited to Fukuya
    because of his skill!
[14:17] Minko
    Do you understand what
    an honor that is?!
[14:21] Ohana
    No.
[14:23] Minko
    Idiot!
[14:25] Minko
    I wish him all the best.
[14:28] Minko
    That's why I don't want to get in his way.
[14:32] Ohana
    You balut!
[14:34] Ohana
    You like him, don't you?!
[14:38] Ohana
    Fine, I'll go to Fukuya myself.
[14:41] Minko
    You idiot!
    How will that solve anything?!
[14:44] Ohana
    I want to do something for you
[14:45] ---
    because you're such a hard worker.
[14:47] Ohana
    I have the feeling that'll allow me
[14:50] ---
    to work hard towards something as well.
[14:53] Minko
    But it'll be impossible
    to drag him back.
[14:57] Ohana
    Then, we'll ask...
[14:59] ---
    for help from the heavens!
[15:02] Ohana
    I'm going!
[15:04] Minko
    W-Wait!
[15:06] Minko
    Hey!
[15:26] Minko
    What's her problem anyway?
[15:35] Minko
    She's such a ba-
[15:50] Ohana
    Excuse me!
[15:54] Yuina
    Gr-and-ma...
[15:57] Grand
    How many times must I tell you to
[15:59] ---
    call me "Manager," Yuina?
[16:00] Yuina
    Sor-ry, Gr-and-ma...
[16:04] Grand
    So, what do you want?
[16:06] Yuina
    There... seems... to be
[16:08] ---
    something... going on by the... entr-ance...
[16:11] Ohana
    I want to talk to the manager!
[16:13] Guy
    Calm down!
[16:15] Grand
    What on earth is going on?
[16:18] Yuina
    Ohana?
[16:19] Ohana
    There she is!
[16:21] Grand
    Aren't you from Shijima's place?
[16:23] Ohana
    I'm her granddaughter!
[16:25] ---
    I'm here today
    because I have a favor to ask!
[16:26] Ohana
    Please give Tohru back to us!
[16:29] Grand
    What?
[16:30] Ohana
    You're all horrible at Fukuya!
[16:32] Ohana
    You have a large inn,
[16:34] Ohana
    lots of cars,
[16:35] Ohana
    and a very pretty granddaughter!
[16:38] Ohana
    There's no need for you to
    steal one of our staff away from us!
[16:41] Grand
    What's this girl talking about?
[16:43] ---
    Have you got an idea?
[16:45] Ohana
    Kissuiso needs Tohru!
[16:48] Ohana
    So-
[16:48] Yuina
    Tohru's gone back already.
[16:51] Ohana
    Where to?!
[16:52] Yuina
    Kissuiso.
[16:54] Ohana
    Kissuiso?
[16:55] Ohana
    What?
[16:58] Ohana
    What?
[17:04] Ohana
    As a helper?!
[17:06] Yuina
    One of our chefs was out with a cold,
[17:10] Yuina
    so the head chef
    of Kissuiso lent Tohru to us.
[17:14] Ohana
    Oh...
[17:16] Yuina
    I said that with a fake
    Hakata accent today!
[17:19] Yuina
    Did you understand me?
[17:23] Ohana
    So that's what it all was about...
[17:27] Ohana
    Then you and Tohru aren't...
[17:30] Yuina
    Me?
[17:31] Ohana
    You were with him on his motorbike.
[17:34] Yuina
    Oh, I wanted to ride it, so he let me.
[17:38] Ohana
    That was it?
[17:39] Yuina
    Oh yeah, what should I do about the helmet?
[17:42] Yuina
    Tohru won't be coming over anymore.
[17:44] Yuina
    Do you want it, Ohana?
[17:46] Yuina
    I've decorated it a little,
[17:47] ---
    but you can still use it to ride a motorbike.
[17:53] Ohana
    If I ever need it, I'll let you know.
[17:59] Ohana
    I'm exhausted...
[18:01] Nako
    Ohana!
[18:03] Nako
    Ohana, Tohru came back!
[18:07] Tohru
    Working at Fukuya?!
[18:09] Tohru
    Who the heck came up with that?!
[18:14] Tohru
    Why doesn't he
    use his time to write his
[18:17] ---
    erotica instead
    of spreading dumb rumors?
[18:22] Tohru
    Mr. Ren...
[18:24] Tohru
    What if... just what if...
[18:27] Tohru
    I actually went to work for Fukuya.
[18:29] ---
    What would you do?
[18:32] Minko
    I'll stop you!
    Next time, I'll definitely stop you!
[18:34] Tohru
    I didn't ask you!
[18:37] Minko
    I'm sorry!
[18:39] Ren
    Go check how many
    vegetables we still have in stock, Minko.
[18:42] Minko
    Yes, sir!
[18:44] Ren
    And while you're at it,
[18:44] ---
    organize the food supplies in the storeroom.
[18:49] Ohana
    I'm so happy for Minko.
[18:52] Ohana
    Oh yeah...
[19:00] Tohru
    Move.
[19:02] Tohru
    I can't get on my motorbike.
[19:04] Tohru
    You're always in my way,
[19:05] ---
    even though none of the
    right parts of you are sticking out.
[19:11] Ohana
    I'm not in your way anymore, am I?
[19:13] Ohana
    Why don't you just go on home already?
[19:15] Ohana
    Goodnight!
[19:17] Tohru
    You went all the way there to bring me
    back, yet you're acting like this now?
[19:19] Tohru
    So, when are you going to hold a farewell party for me?
[19:22] Ohana
    That was-
[19:25] Tohru
    So, in the end, you're the only
    one who tried to stop me, eh?
[19:31] Tohru
    Well, it's better than no one, I guess!
[19:35] Ohana
    What's your problem?!
[19:37] ---
    I've got a sensitive nose!
[19:39] Tohru
    I'm not a big deal
    until Mr. Ren tries to stop me himself.
[19:54] Nako
    So, Tohru went home.
[19:56] Minko
    What happened to you?
[19:57] Ohana
    I'm still not very fond of him!
[20:04] Enishi
    It seems like Tohru had a good experience.
[20:08] Mana
    Now he'll have somewhere to go to when we shut down.
[20:11] Enishi
    Madam Manager!
[20:11] Mana
    I'm joking.
[20:13] Mana
    Enishi, call them later and apologize.
[20:18] Mana
    Shigeko, that is.
[20:20] Enishi
    Fukuya?
[20:23] Ohana
    That was a long day...
[20:27] Nako
    You did run around a lot.
[20:30] Ohana
    Aren't you glad
    he wasn't taken away, Minko?
[20:34] Minko
    I knew that all along.
[20:38] Ohana
    You'll be with him for a while yet.
[20:42] Minko
    You can call me Minchi.
[20:46] Ohana
    Really?!
[20:47] Minko
    But in return,
[20:49] ---
    you have to write down
    what you want me to call you.
[20:51] Minko
    I'll use it.
[20:53] Minko
    Nako told me that you wanted a nickname.
[20:56] Minko
    If you write it on the wish card,
    I'll call you that.
[21:00] Nako
    Minchi...
[21:04] Ohana
    Thanks.
[21:06] Ohana
    Well, let's see...
[21:10] Ohana
    I never imagined that
    I'd have to come up with one myself...
[21:14] Ohana
    "Nakochi," "Minchi..."
[21:16] Ohana
    "Ohachi"?
[21:19] Ohana
    Maybe "Hanachi" is better?
[21:22] Ohana
    But that's too similar to "hibachi chicken!"
[21:24] Ohana
    Then, I guess...
[21:27] Ohana
    Let's see...
[21:30] Minko
    You're out of time.
[21:31] Ohana
    What?! But...
[21:32] Minko
    You're too slow.
[21:34] Ohana
    I-I'll come up with one really quickly!
[21:37] Ohana
    Give me one more chance!
[21:37] Minko
    No.
[21:38] Ohana
    What?
[21:39] Ohana
    Minchi, please! Minchi!
[21:41] Minko
    Shut up!
[21:42] Ohana
    Come on!
[21:46] Ohana
    How are you, Ko? It's Ohana.
[21:50] Ohana
    I finally feel like
    I've given my all to something.
[21:57] Ohana
    I'm sure it's because
    you wished me luck in your text.
[22:06] Ohana
    Thanks, Ko.
[22:07] ---
    Ohana
[23:40] Nako
    But I don't want to challenge myself...
[23:42] Minko
    What are you looking at?
[23:43] Ohana
    "Cheer up."
[23:45] Takako
    Good morning, low-class hot spring inn.
[23:47] Takako
    Good morning, staff of the
    low-class hot spring inn.
