**[00:01] Shiori**
All right, thank you for taking care of it.
**[00:04] Mob Coworker 30s; female**
One more thing, Katase-san.
**[00:07] Mob Coworker 30s; female**
Here's a little something...
**[00:09] Mob Coworker 30s; female**
It's for everyone in Product Development.
**[00:13] Shiori**
Thank you so much!
**[00:17] Shiori off script AD**
Cookies, cookies...
**[00:21] Shiori off script AD**
Sweet and yummy...
**[00:31] Shinozaki**
I am exhausted.
**[00:33] Shinozaki**
So much to do and learn
when you're new...
**[00:38] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san.
**[00:40] Shinozaki**
S-Senpai?!
**[00:41] Shiori**
Taking a break?
**[00:43] Shinozaki**
Y-Yes.
**[00:45] Shinozaki**
*Should I have told her first?*
**[00:48] Shinozaki**
S-Sorry, I'll get right back to work—
**[00:53] Shinozaki**
U-Um...
**[00:56] Shinozaki**
Senpai?
**[01:01] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san.
**[01:03] Shinozaki**
Y-Yes?
**[01:06] Shiori**
Which do you prefer: bears or bunnies?
**[01:12] Shiori**
Which is it? Bears or bunnies?
**[01:17] Shinozaki**
Bears or bunnies...?
**[01:19] Shiori**
Right. Which is it?
**[01:21] Shinozaki**
I-If I had to choose, bears, I think...
**[01:24] Shiori**
Understood.
**[01:26] Shiori**
Here!
**[01:28] Shinozaki**
What is this?
**[01:30] Shiori**
A little pick-me-up.
**[01:32] Shiori**
People tend to get peckish
and run-down around this time.
**[01:36] Shiori**
Someone from general affairs gave me these,
**[01:40] Shiori**
and I'm going to share them
with everyone else later on...
**[01:43] Shiori**
But you get yours early, Shinozaki-san!
**[01:49] Shiori**
Just don't tell anyone, okay?
**[01:53] Shinozaki**
* There's a senpai where I work...*
* who is tiny and cute.*
**[01:59] ---**
*Oh, I love you so much, I just have to laugh*

**[03:32] Shiori**
Good morning.
**[03:37] Shiori**
I guess I'm first in today.
**[03:44] Shiori**
Aw...
**[03:48] Shinozaki**
Good morning.
**[03:53] Shinozaki**
Senpai never leaves her stuff
on her desk like that.
**[03:58] Shiori**
G-Good morning...
**[04:02] Shinozaki**
S-S-S-Senpai?!
**[04:04] Shiori**
Yes.
**[04:05] Shinozaki**
What are you doing?!
**[04:07] Shiori**
I... just...
**[04:09] Shiori**
dropped this pen...
**[04:11] Shinozaki**
L-Let me get out of your way!
**[04:13] Shiori**
I'd appreciate that.
**[04:16] Shinozaki**
Senpa—
**[04:27] Shinozaki**
*Senpai's breasts!*
**[04:30] Shinozaki**
Sorry! I'm so sorry! Let me move right now!
**[04:32] Shiori**
You don't have to panic! It's okay!
**[04:40] Akina**
What a lovely morning you two are having.
**[04:43] Shinozaki**
I-It's not what you think!
It's just a coincidence!
**[04:48] Shinozaki**
You, too, Hayakawa?!
**[04:50] Hayakawa**
I think that dirty thoughts are bad.
**[04:53] Shinozaki**
Seriously, it's just a coincidence!
**[05:01] Shinozaki**
Senpai, were the documents I submitted okay?
**[05:06] Shiori**
Give me a second and I can check.
**[05:14] Shiori**
What the—?!
**[05:15] Shinozaki**
Did I mess up?
**[05:17] Shiori**
These documents...
**[05:22] Shiori**
You did a really good job!
**[05:26] Shiori**
Good boy!
**[05:27] Shinozaki**
U-Um, Senpai...?
**[05:30] Shiori**
Very, very good.
**[05:33] Shiinozaki**
Senpai...
**[05:34] Akina**
*My subordinates at work get along very well.*
**[05:35] Shiori**
You worked hard, huh?
**[05:36] Akina**
*Honestly...*
**[05:38] Shinozaki**
It's not that big a deal...
**[05:38] Akina**
* Would an ordinary pair of*
* coworkers get along like that?*
**[05:40] Shiori**
I never want to miss
a chance to offer praise!
**[05:43] Akina**
*It feels a little more significant.*
**[05:45] Akina**
*More than coworkers, it's like they're...*
**[05:52] Shinozaki**
Scouting a location for a drinking party?
**[05:54] Akina**
Right. I was supposed to go,
but something came up kind of abruptly.
**[05:59] Shinozaki**
Sure, I can do that.
**[06:02] Akiba**
What a relief. Please do.
**[06:05] Akiba**
And since the more opinions, the better,
why don't you join him, Katase-san?
**[06:09] Shiori**
Yay, I'd love to!
**[06:16] Shinozaki**
I wonder what kind of place it is.
**[06:18] Shiori**
I hope the food is tasty!
**[06:22] Shinozaki**
It's supposed to be
the top floor of this building.
**[06:25] Shiori**
This should be fun!
**[06:26] Shinozaki**
Since our manager chose it,
I bet it's pretty fancy.
**[06:32] Shiori**
I know what you mean.
The night view is bound to be pretty.
**[06:33] Akina**
*Good, smooth sailing so far...*
**[06:36] Akina**
* Now they just need to keep it up*
* after they get in the restaurant.*
**[06:39] Shiori**
I think I might be a little drunk...
**[06:43] Shinozaki**
S-Senpai...
**[06:48] Shinozaki**
I'm not letting you go home tonight.
**[06:51] Shiori**
I wouldn't want to.
**[06:56] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san, I...
**[06:59] Shinozaki**
Senpai... I...
**[07:05] Akina**
* That was a close one.*
* I almost let my own fantasy fry my brain.*
**[07:10] Hayakawa**
Manager?
**[07:11] Akina**
Hayakawa-san?!
**[07:12] Hayakawa**
I thought you said you had
sudden business to attend to?
**[07:22] Hayakawa**
Oh, I get it.
**[07:24] Akina**
You're curious, too, aren't you, Hayakawa-san?
**[07:26] Akina**
He's your childhood friend, and coworker...
**[07:28] Akina**
Wait, no!
**[07:32] Akina**
*How could I be so cruel?!*
**[07:35] Shiori**
If you need anything, you know who to ask.

**[07:58] Haykawa**
Seriously, Shinozaki and I just go way back!
**[08:02] Akina**
Seriously?
**[08:03] Haykawa**
Seriously.
**[08:04] Akina**
I see...
**[08:07] Hayakawa**
Why do you seem disappointed?
**[08:09] Akina**
Well, be that as it may,
**[08:11] Akina**
since you're here anyway,
you should join me. Let's go!
**[08:14] Hayakawa**
Wha...
**[08:16] Server female; 20s**
You have reservations, correct?
We're pleased to have you.
**[08:20] Server female; 20s**
Right this way.
**[08:23] Akina**
Sneak, sneak, sneak...
**[08:25] Hayakawa**
How did I get roped into this?
**[08:30] Server**
Please, have a seat.
**[08:32] Server**
These are our special tables
that let you enjoy the night view.
**[08:36] Server**
I'll be back for your order in a bit.
**[08:40] Akina**
* How's that? Getting dropped into those*
* couples seats must be pretty exciting, right?*
**[08:45] Akina**
* This should bring*
* the two of them closer together, and...*
**[08:48] Shinozaki**
Not a lot of restaurants
with side-by-side seating.
**[08:51] Akina**
*He didn't catch on!*
**[08:52] Shiori**
This menu is huge.
I don't know where to start.
**[08:55] Akina**
*She's focused on food!*
**[08:56] Shinozaki**
I've never eaten somewhere like this before.
**[08:59] Shiori**
Neither have I.
**[09:01] Shinozaki**
It's what I'd expect from our manager,
though. He's really got style.
**[09:04] Akina**
* They're not getting what I was going for,*
* but they seem happy, so I guess it's okay?!*
**[09:08] Hayakawa**
You're really enjoying this, Manager.
**[09:10] Akina**
You bet I am!
**[09:13] Akina**
You see...
**[09:16] Akina**
The thing is...
**[09:20] Akina**
Nothing makes me happier than
cheering on someone else's love life.
**[09:27] Hayakawa**
*I think our boss might be a weirdo.*
**[09:30] Akina**
This is rough, though...
**[09:32] Akina**
I thought the couples seating
would get their pulses pounding.
**[09:35] Shinozaki**
Oh, check it out, Senpai. Over there!
**[09:39] Shiori**
What is it?
**[09:41] Shinozaki**
That's our office right there, isn't it?
**[09:43] Shiori**
Where?! I want to see!
**[10:01] Shiori**
I knew it! It's easier to see from up here!
**[10:05] Shinozaki**
*S-Senpai... s-so close...*
**[10:09] Shinozaki**
*a-and her....*
**[10:10] Shinozaki**
*b-b-boobs are...!*
**[10:15] Shiori**
Is everything okay?
**[10:17] Shinozaki**
Yes, it's a nice view...
**[10:19] Akina**
*Smooth move, Katase-san!*
**[10:21] Shiori**
Are you okay, Shinozaki-san?
Your face is red.
**[10:23] Akina**
Yes, that's the spirit!
**[10:25] Shinozaki**
Uh, yes, it's just,
kinda hot in here, y'know?
**[10:25] Akina**
Now, Shinozaki-kun just needs to
do something to thrill Katase-san...
**[10:31] Akina**
That's it... just a little more...
**[10:37] Shiori**
That was a big meal.
**[10:39] Shinozaki**
Yeah! And it all was great.
**[10:43] Shiori**
Well, we've got work tomorrow.
Maybe we should wrap it up for tonight.
**[10:48] Shinozaki**
Oh, man, it's that late already?
**[10:51] Shinozaki**
I was hoping we could stay
a bit longer. That's a shame.
**[10:57] Shiori**
You wanted to stay together... longer?
**[11:03] Shiori**
*Does that mean...?*
**[11:06] Shinozaki**
Let me walk you to the station.
**[11:09] Shiori**
Oh, right! Thank you.
**[11:12] Shinozaki**
Everything okay?
**[11:13] Shiori**
I-It's fine!
**[11:16] Shiori**
*What was I thinking...?*
**[11:21] Shinozaki**
Um, Senpai?
**[11:22] Shiori**
Uh, well.. it's... um...
**[11:28] Akina**
I knew you had it in you, Shinozaki-kun!
**[11:30] Hayakawa**
Whoa, Manager!
Please don't turn to sugar grains on me!
**[11:36] Shiori**
Thank you for walking me to the station!
**[11:39] Shinozaki**
See you tomorrow, Senpai!

An umbrella?
**[12:01] Hayakawa**

**[12:13] Hayakawa**
I see.
**[12:27] Shinozaki**
Thank goodness I brought an umbrella...
**[12:37] Shinozaki**
*Senpai... Did she not bring an umbrella?*
**[12:42] Shinozaki**
Excuse me!
**[12:45] Shinozaki**
Would you like to share mine?
**[12:52] Shiori**
Yes!
**[13:01] Shinozaki**
*Sharing an umbrella with Senpai...*
**[13:04] Shinozaki**
*Man, this really is lucky!*
**[13:07] Shinozaki**
* B-But... I'm so nervous,*
* I've barely said anything...*
**[13:16] Shiori**
Your shoulder is getting wet, Shinozaki-san.
**[13:19] Shinozaki**
Oh, I'm sorry if I worried you!
**[13:25] Shinozaki**
W-Well...
**[13:27] Shinozaki**
h-how did you end up as my senpai, anyway?
**[13:30] Shiori**
By working at our company first.
**[13:31] Shinozaki**
That makes sense!
**[13:33] Shinozaki**
What kind of animals do you like, Senpai?!
**[13:35] Shiori**
Cats!
**[13:36] Shinozaki**
I knew that!
**[13:38] Shinozaki**
*This is awful! I suck at talking!*
**[13:41] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san! You don't have to
force yourself to talk.
**[13:45] Shiori**
I'm enjoying walking home together as it is.
**[13:49] Shinozaki**
R-Right...
**[13:51] Shiori**
Come to think of it, you always speak up
when a meeting gets quiet, don't you?
**[13:58] Shinozaki**
Yeah. I start to panic
when no one is talking...
**[14:02] Shiori**
It's even more nerve-racking
with the section chief in attendance.
**[14:05] Shinozaki**
He looks so scary...
I know he's actually nice, though.

I'd hate for it to cause trouble.
**[14:19] Shiori**
You don't need to be so tense about it.
**[14:21] Shiori**
Everybody learns how these
things work as time goes on.
**[14:25] Shiori**
Besides, the chief has mentioned
how the way you ask a lot of questions
**[14:29] Shiori**
makes it easier for everyone else to speak up.
**[14:33] Shinozaki**
Th-That's great to hear.
**[14:38] Shinozaki**
Oh, sorry, I wanted to stop by the bookstore
before heading home, so I'll be going now.
**[14:43] Shinozaki**
In that case, if you want,
you can take my umbrella.
**[14:51] Shiori**
I had a great time talking!
**[14:54] Shiori**
Let's give it our all at work again
tomorrow, Shinozaki-san.
**[14:58] Shiori**
See you then!
**[15:03] Shinozaki**
*She had one all along?!*
**[15:11] Shiori**
Huh?
**[15:13] Shiori**
Is Shinozaki-san taking the day off?
**[15:16] Akina**
He's sick, apparently. Called in this morning.
**[15:20] Shiori**
Oh, I see...
**[15:22] (Flashback) Shiori**
Your shoulder is getting wet, Shinozaki-kun.
**[15:25] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[15:29] Akina**
Want to check up on him?
**[15:30] Shiori**
Wh-Why would I do that?!
**[15:32] Akina**
Well, he is your only kohai, after all!
**[15:35] Akina**
He's mentioned that living
on his own is proving to be a handful.
**[15:49] Shinozaki**
*Still not going down...*
**[15:54] Shinozaki**
* Well, it's my own fault for going*
* into shock in the middle of the rain.*
**[16:05] Shinozaki**
Coming...
**[16:09] Shiori**
How are you feeling, Shinozaki-san?
**[16:12] Shinozaki**
Senpai?! You went out of your way to visit me?!
**[16:15] Shiori**
Oh, come now.
**[16:16] Shiori**
I was just in the neighborhood.
**[16:19] Shiori**
And you've been out
for three days, so I was worried,
**[16:22] Shiori**
and I heard living on your own
was rough for you,
**[16:25] Shiori**
so I brought some supplies.
**[16:27] Shinozaki**
Thank you so much. That is really thoughtful...
**[16:38] Shiori**
How about I make something for you?
**[16:50] Shinozaki**
*What is even happening...?*
**[16:53] Shinozaki**
*I feel crazy-happy.*
**[16:56] Shiori**
There you go.
**[16:58] Shinozaki**
Thank you for the food.
**[17:00] Shinozaki**
It's good!
**[17:01] Shiori**
I'm glad you like it!
**[17:03] Shiori**
I'll tidy up and do some laundry, too.
**[17:06] Shinozaki**
Thanks again.
**[17:08] Shinozaki**
Oh, wait, my underwear!
**[17:11] Shinozaki**
I really appreciate you doing all this.
**[17:14] Shiori**
Oh, it's all right.
**[17:16] Shiori**
Despite appearances,
I'm more the big sister type.
**[17:21] Shinozaki**
*I am so incredibly, crazily happy right now,*
**[17:27] Shinozaki**
*I don't even want to get better anymore.*
**[17:33] Shiori**
Well, sorry to intrude. Make sure to stay
warm, and get some more rest, okay?
**[17:38] Shinozaki**
You're a real life-saver, Senpai.
**[17:42] Shinozaki**
Come to think of it, what were
in you in the neighborhood for?
**[17:44] Shiori**
To see a movie with a friend.
**[17:46] Shinozaki**
Huh? But the theater is in the opposite
direction of my house from the station...
**[17:53] Shiori**
W-Well, uh,
**[17:55] Shiori**
I'm running short on time, so...
**[18:02] Shiori**
*I messed up...*
**[18:05] Shiori**
* Maybe I got too excited,*
* because he's my only kohai.*
**[18:11] Shiori**
I guess I'll buy something microwaveable...
***SIGN*** Simple, Delicious

What to make when someone's sick
**[18:26] Shiori**
Maybe something to cook, too.
**[18:30] Akina**
*Mission accomplished!*
**[18:35] Hayakawa**
A present for Senpai?
**[18:37] Shinozaki**
Well, it's less a present and more...
**[18:39] Shinozaki**
A token of my thanks?
**[18:41] Hayakawa**
Thanks for what?
**[18:43] Shinozaki**
She came over and looked
after me when I was sick.
**[18:46] Shinozaki**
She even cooked for me.
**[18:48] Shinozaki**
Maybe I should get something
unobtrusive, like candy.
**[18:52] Hayakawa**
Are you stupid?!
**[18:54] Hayakawa**
Why would you give someone who went to your
house and cooked for you when you were sick
**[18:57] Hayakawa**
the same gift you'd pass onto
a business partner for the Bon holiday?!
**[19:01] Shinozaki**
A-A business Bon gift?!
**[19:04] Hayakawa**
Well? Was the food good?
**[19:06] Shinozaki**
Yeah, very much so.
**[19:08] Shinozaki**
I-It was downright delicious....
**[19:11] Shinozaki**
And I think she likes to cook.
**[19:13] Hayakawa**
Then get her an apron and say,
"Please come and cook for me again!"
**[19:18] Shinozaki**
Where did that come from?!
**[19:20] Shinozaki**
Isn't it considered rude to give
non-consumables since they take up space?
**[19:23] Hayakawa**
I say you need to give her something
that will remind her of you.
**[19:26] Shinozaki**
Remind her of what, exactly?!
**[19:32] Shinozaki**
*What should I do?*
**[19:34] Shinozaki**
* I ended up actually buying one*
* on impulse, but I think...*
**[19:39] Shinozaki**
* This might be a lot harder to*
* casually hand to her!*

**[19:43] Shinozaki**
Maybe I should go with candy after all.
**[19:46] Shiori**
Good morning.
**[19:48] Shinozaki**
G-G-Good morning, Senpai!
**[19:51] Shiori**
What's wrong? You seem anxious.
**[19:54] Shinozaki**
Well, it's nothing, really...
**[19:58] Shinozaki**
*Th-The gift! I need to give it to her!*
**[20:02] Shinozaki**
*But what if she thinks it's too much?*
**[20:07] Shinozaki**
* Then again, I don't think*
* Senpai would feel that way...*
**[20:11] Shinozaki**
Excuse me!
**[20:15] Shinozaki**
Thank you very much for the other day.
**[20:18] Shinozaki**
I got this for you...
**[20:26] Shinozaki**
Um... I'm sorry if you don't like it...
**[20:30] Shiori**
An apron?
**[20:33] Shinozaki**
*It's too much, isn't it?!*
**[20:39] Shiori**
Thank you so much!
**[20:42] Shinozaki**
*Thank goodness she seems to like it...*
**[20:45] Shinozaki**
W-Well...
**[20:49] Shinozaki**
I'm sure you'll look nice in it,
**[20:52] Shinozaki**
so I hope you'll use it at home.
**[20:55] Shiori**
You wouldn't mind me
coming by your house again?
**[20:59] Shinozaki**
I-I meant at your own house, not mine...
**[21:03] Shiori**
Oh, right! That makes sense. Sorry about that.
**[21:06] Shiori**
That was such a silly assumption to make...
**[21:11] Shinozaki**
Though, if you wouldn't mind, Senpai...
**[21:15] Shinozaki**
I'd be really glad to have you over again.
**[21:21] Shiori**
Well... Someday might be nice.
**[21:25] Shinozaki**
Right, well... whenever is good for you.
**[21:27] Akina**
You two want the afternoon off?
**[21:30] Both**
Manager, give it a rest!

*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*
