Very good, Shinozaki-san!
[00:46] Shinozaki
S-Senpai...
[00:49] Shinozaki
Is your meeting over already?
[00:50] Shiori
Yep. It didn't take as long as I thought.
[00:54] Shiori
And it looks like you finished
everything I asked you to do, too.
[00:58] Shiori
Excellent work!
[01:00] Shinozaki
Aw, no...
[01:02] Shinozaki
It was just regular work.
Nothing worth that kind of praise.
[01:07] Shiori
Is there something wrong
with praising regular work?
[01:10] Shinozaki
I actually appreciate it a lot.
[01:13] Shiori
Very good!
[01:18] Shiori
You know, I really am proud
of you, Shinozaki-san!

There's a senpai where I work...
who is tiny and cute.

[04:09] Shiori
Manager.
[04:12] Shiori
I sent the plan for our entry
into the project competition,
[04:14] Shiori
so please check it when you can.
[04:16] Akina
Wait, already? There's still
a while until the deadline.
[04:20] Shiori
I know! But since we'll need to
incorporate input from the client,
[04:24] Shiori
the sooner we get it checked,
the sooner I can make those adjustments.
[04:27] Katase
Makes sense. Well done, Katase-san.
I appreciate how timely you are.
[04:31] Shinozaki
Nice one, Senpai.
[04:34] Shiori
This is all normal stuff.
I'm a grown-up, after all!
[04:40] Shiori
I have to say, desk work really does
a number on the back and shoulders...
[04:44] Shiori
My whole body feels creaky.
[04:47] Shinozaki
It's even worse when you're
on the computer all the time.
[04:50] Shiori
Definitely...
[04:51] Shiori
My shoulders can really seize up on me, too.
[04:55] Shinozaki
I think there might be more to it
than just work, in that regard...
[04:59] Shinozaki
It's the kind of thing that
makes you want a massage, huh?
[05:01] Shiori
Oh, what a great idea! I'd love that!
[05:04] Shiori
Wait... did I just stumble into a mildly
erotic situation involving a massage?
[05:11] Shinozaki
Want me to rub them?
[05:13] Shiori
Would you?
[05:18] Shiori
Right there... It feels... so good...!
[05:26] Shiori
If you keep that up... I'll...
[05:31] Shiori
Something wrong?
[05:32] Shinozaki
N-No, nothing at all!
[05:36] Shinozaki
I get stiff shoulders, too, so I was thinking
about maybe getting a massage myself.
[05:41] Shiori
Sounds like a case where a hardworking
kohai needs some senpai encouragement!
[05:46] Shinozaki
Aw, come on, I couldn't ask you to do that...
[05:50] Shiori
Don't you worry about it.
[05:51] Shiori
Just don't fall asleep
from being too comfy, okay?
[05:59] Shiori
Squeezey, squeezey, squeezey, squeezey...
[06:03] Shinozaki
Senpai's tiny hands are all over my shoulders!
[06:06] Shinozaki
I'm getting squeezed!
She's kneading me like dough!
[06:08] Shinozaki
It's like I'm in the world's
comfiest theme park!
[06:12] Shiori
Shinozaki-san, you're so... hard and big...
[06:18] Shiori
I don't know if my hands
can make you feel good.
[06:24] Shinozaki
Senpai, uh, I think that's enough!
[06:28] Shiori
Did it feel good?
[06:30] Shinozaki
Yes! Maybe a little too good.
[06:34] Shinozaki
Er, forget I said anything! Really!
[06:40] Shinozaki
"And that is my proposal."
[06:45] Shinozaki
Okay, hopefully that should work.
[06:47] Shinozaki
Maybe I should run through it again...
[06:50] Shinozaki
"I'm Shinozaki Takuma

[06:53] Shinozaki
"My proposal involves the upcoming anniversary

of our company's main mascot

[06:58] Shiori
What's that you've got there?
[07:01] Shinozaki
S-Senpai!
[07:02] Shiori
Did I scare you?
[07:05] Shinozaki
The new employee project
presentations are tomorrow,
[07:09] Shinozaki
so I was practicing during my free time.
[07:10] Shiori
That takes me back!
I remember what it was like.
[07:14] (Flashback) Shiori
And so, by arranging a collaboration
between popular sweets brands
[07:18] (Flashback) Shiori
and our company's mascot character, Meowtaro,
[07:20] (Flashback) Shiori
I believe we could cultivate customers
in a new demographic.

[07:30] Shiori
I made some goofs
with the materials for my proposal.
[07:34] Shiori
But as you can see, I'm still here,
so relax and give your best shot!
[07:38] Shinozaki
What a random bit of encouragement!
[07:40] Shinozaki
Thank you, Senpai.
[07:43] Shinozaki
I just have this tendency to get
super nervous when it's showtime...
[07:49] Shinozaki
They say writing the kanji for "person" in your
hand and pretending to swallow it helps.
[07:52] Shinozaki
What do you think?
[07:53] Shinozaki
It's probably just a superstition...
[07:55] Shinozaki
Although one theory says the palm
has certain pressure points,
[07:58] Shinozaki
and by tracing the kanji for "person,"
you can press them for a relaxation effect—
[08:00] Shiori
Shinozaki-san!
[08:05] Shiori
Something to relax you.
[08:07] Shiori
Specially made by your senpai,
it's the kanji for "person."
[08:10] Shiori
I hope you enjoy it!
[08:12] Shinozaki
S-S-S-So close! Senpai's tiny hand
is right in front of me!
[08:17] Shinozaki
I-It almost seems like a waste to eat it!
[08:22] Shiori
I can always make more.
[08:24] Shiori
So, by all means, eat up!
[08:26] Shinozaki
She is so wifely, it's killing me!
[08:29] Shinozaki
Th-Then, in that case, don't mind if I do...
[08:39] Shinozaki
Uh, er, did my breath tickle?
[08:43] Shiori
Oh, no, it's f-f-fine!
[08:45] Shiori
H-H-How do you feel?
[08:47] Shinozaki
Better! I think I can do this.
[08:50] Shinozaki
Thank you so much, Senpai.

I'll be looking forward to another
tomorrow, before my presentation.

here is just a childhood friend!

We just grew up near each other!

Do you and Hayakawa-san get along?

[10:04] Shinozaki
We were neighbors,
[10:05] Shinozaki
and we attended preschool,
elementary, and middle school together.
[10:09] Shinozaki
Then we just happened to end up
working at the same company.
[10:13] Shinozaki
It's kinda like we're cursed.
[10:17] Shiori
You seemed to be pretty friendly, though.
[10:20] Shinozaki
Wait, what? Is she jealous?
[10:23] Shinozaki
No, come on, Senpai would never...
[10:26] Shinozaki
It's really nothing special.
Sure, we chat casually...
[10:31] Shiori
I'm jealous.
[10:35] Shinozaki
S-S-Senpai?! She just said she was jealous!
I did hear that, didn't I?!
[10:40] Shinozaki
And she does seem to be kind of sulky...
[10:44] Shinozaki
Senpai's... jealous?
[10:47] Shinozaki
That'd mean she... about me... for real?
[10:53] Shiori

[10:56] Shiori

[11:02] Shiori
I... well...
[11:09] Shiori
I want to be friends with Hayakawa-san, too.
[11:16] Shiori
I've always thought she seems rather neat,
[11:20] Shiori
but we've never really had
a chance to connect outside of work.
[11:23] Shiori
If you wouldn't mind,
could you maybe introduce me...?
[11:25] Shinozaki
That's what she meant?!

[12:42] Shiori
If someone's already upset
about their mistakes,
[12:44] Shiori
I'm not going to make it worse for them.
[12:47] Shiori
Besides, you can scold someone
without getting mad at them.

I don't want to miss your efforts,
especially when you put your heart into them.

then sign me up!

[13:37] Shiori
to praise a job well done.
[13:46] Shinozaki
Okay, next time I work hard on something...
[13:50] Shiori
I'll try to make sure and notice, too.
[13:53] Shinozaki
I appreciate that.

Come on, we're back
to the office and back to work!
[14:03] Shinozaki

[14:13] Shinozaki
It's getting late,
but I wanna keep going a bit longer...

[14:30] Shinozaki
Oh, I should pay you...
[14:32] Shiori
No, it's fine. Don't worry.
[14:35] Shiori
I'm forcing something off onto my subordinate.
[14:38] Shiori
Think of it as an abuse of authority!
[14:41] Shinozaki
Best abuse of authority ever!
[14:44] Shiori
Are you still not finished for today?
[14:47] Shinozaki
Well, I was just trying to
get to a good place to stop...
[14:52] Shiori
I'll help you out!
[14:54] Shinozaki
But I couldn't ask you to
trouble yourself, Senpai...
[14:58] Shiori
It's a senpai's duty to help a kohai in need!
[15:01] Shiori
Besides,
[15:02] Shiori
once we're done, I'm going to abuse
my authority and treat you to dinner!
[15:05] Shinozaki

the best abuse of authority ever!
[15:08] Shinozaki
Th-Then I'd appreciate the help.
[15:12] Shiori
Sure!
[15:14] Shiori
That was faster than I thought!
[15:18] Shinozaki
Only because of you. Thanks again, Senpai.
[15:21] Shinozaki
I'll pay for dinner!
[15:23] Shiori
No, not happening. I'm paying.
[15:26] Shinozaki
No, me!
[15:27] Shiori
It'll be me.

[15:44] Shinozaki
Put your arms through the sleeves, please.
[15:46] Shiori
But I... I'll be fine...
[15:48] Shinozaki
No, you won't.
[15:49] Shinozaki
Y'know, you don't need to have
authority to abuse your power...
[15:56] Shiori
I-I'll keep that in mind.
[16:03] Shinozaki
There should be plenty of places open still.
[16:07] Shiori
Okay.
[16:09] Shiori
Um, aren't you cold, Shinozaki-san?
[16:12] Shinozaki
Nope. I'm okay.
[16:16] Shiori
This jacket he lent me is really warm...
[16:21] Shiori
I guess because he was
just wearing it, but still...
[16:25] Shiori
Something about the size and the warmth...
[16:29] Shiori
makes it feel like he's hugging me.
[16:33] Shiori
Wh-What in the world am I thinking?!
[16:36] Shiori
U-Um...
[16:39] Shiori
I-I don't know...

What happened?!

we're close to the office...

[16:58] Shinozaki
Good point.
[17:00] Shinozaki
I'm sorry. I should have considered that.

No, no, I appreciate you letting me wear it!

Are you okay?
[19:43] Shiori
Y-Yeah...
[19:45] Shinozaki
Sensitive to hot food like a cat, too, huh?
[19:47] Shiori
"Too"?
[19:48] Shinozaki
Oh, never mind me!
[20:03] Shinozaki
Good morning, Senpai.
[20:06] Shiori
Good morning, Shinozaki-san.
[20:09] Shinozaki
Calling out to another cat?
[20:11] Shiori
Yes, indeed I was!
[20:14] Shiori
I heard it meowing a second ago...
[20:24] Shiori
Did you hear that?! It answered me!
[20:27] Shinozaki
Sure.
[20:30] Shiori
That was deeper than before, though.
Maybe there's a second cat?
[20:40] Shiori
You! You! I can't believe you made fun of me!
[20:44] Shinozaki
S-Sorry! I didn't think
you'd react like that...
[20:47] Shiori
As punishment, for today,
you have to be kitty Shinozaki!
[20:51] Shinozaki
Kitty Shinozaki...?
[20:53] Shiori
I expect you to meow in response!
[20:55] Shinozaki
M... Meow.
[20:56] Shinozaki
Y'know, this might be too much...
[20:58] Shiori
Excuse me?
[20:59] Shinozaki
It's kind of embarrassing—
[21:00] Shiori
These are orders from your senpai!
[21:02] Shinozaki
Okay...
[21:03] Shiori
Do you understand?! You respond with "meow!"
[21:05] Hayakawa
Good morning, Manager.
[21:06] Akina
Oh, good morning, Hayakawa-san.
[21:07] Shiori
Meow!
[21:09] Hayakawa
You look happy. Something good happen?
[21:11] Akina
Just glad that my team is getting long!
[21:15] Hayakawa
They are?
[21:16] Shiori
All right, Meowzaki, we're going to work!
[21:18] Shinozaki
Right, Senpai!
[21:20] Shiori
You're supposed to say "Meow!" Okay?
[21:23] Shinozaki
M-Meow!
[21:28] Shiori
Let's give it our best today, Meowzaki!
[21:46] ---
Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream
[21:50] ---
I still can't bring myself
to drink that bitter coffee
[21:55] ---
So I sneakily toss in
two pinches of a sweet secret
[21:59] ---
And let it slowly spread throughout
[22:05] ---
There's a local bakery
that's only open sometimes
[22:08] ---
Where I once had some toast that glittered
[22:14] ---
What is it that makes it so satisfying?
[22:18] ---
Almost like magic
[22:22] ---
I find myself thinking about that kind of thing
[22:27] ---
How the small things can be the most precious
[22:33] ---
Deep inside my heart
[22:37] ---
It's ever so bittersweet
[22:43] ---
"Just being around you is enough"
[22:47] ---
Becomes my mantra
[22:51] ---
Baby like sugar
[23:00] ---
Baby you're the sugar
