Eternal First Love Page #3

---

She was a genius at looking happy

when eating my food.

- I am going to take this.

- Sure!

Having said that,

she never once told me how good it tasted.

I think I got better at cooking...

to make her say, "It's good."

She was silently giving me the motivation.

We're through.

This is nice.

Much nicer than I thought.

I was worried 'cuz you said food stall.

What's on the menu?

Anything you want to eat.

Is that the restaurant's slogan?

It depends on the ingredients.

Okay, listen.

Appetizer, Caprese salad.

First course, gnocchi Sorrentina.

Second course, sea bass acqua pazza.

Dessert, baba

and double espresso.

- A Taurasi wine.

- Okay.

What's the name?

I haven't decided yet.

Then I'll give it one.

Ristorante D'Angelo.

"The angel's restaurant"?

Yes. Make it one that gives people

a gentle push from behind.

Sounds good.

The first meal she ordered.

A crazy course.

You should make a happy face especially

when you're sad.

Then an angel will give you

a gentle push from behind.

Takeshi...?

Are you enjoying playing

with my feelings?

This is not at all like

Takeshi's cooking.

I'm never coming here again.

I don't ever want to see you either.

Napoli...

Takeshi!

Takeshi!

- Wait!

- What do you want?

I ran like this that night.

I wanted to tell you...

Tell me what?

Hey!

What happened?

What's the matter? No!

What are you doing?!

Wake up!

What's wrong?! Wake up!

Sorry.

Who are you? What do you want from me?

I...

I hate you.

I hate Yuuki Makihara

for taking Takeshi from me.

Give him back!

I want Takeshi back!

Even if you don't believe I'm Takeshi

I want to love you afresh

as Yuuki Makihara.

I love you.

You're... not Takeshi.

The real Takeshi would never say that.

You couldn't begin to understand

but Takeshi and I were friends.

We were friends.

A few times, I thought of becoming...

more than just friends.

But Takeshi...

With a smile like an angel,

he so gently rejected the idea

and chose to stay friends with me.

Do you know how much

I was saved by that?

Every relationship...

doesn't have to develop...

into a romance.

A special friendship that embraces

you can make life so wonderful.

You'd never understand that.

- I...

- Stop.

I want to forget.

Takeshi went to heaven.

I'm getting married.

To a man who loves me more than

anyone in the world.

I made up my mind.

My life has to go on without Takeshi.

So... Disappear from my life forever.

What happened? We're closed today.

All right. No questions.

But I'm relieved.

You didn't cry when Take died.

I was worried. But I'm glad.

Finally, you're crying.

It's okay to cry when you feel sad.

Take's accident got me thinking.

I thought about many things.

I thought... You and Take are alike.

You never show your weakness

and are stronger than anybody.

You both try too hard at everything.

But nobody is always strong.

We all feel like crying at times.

You don't have to act tough when you're with me.

That's the kind of man I want to be for you.

I really do. Is that a bad thing?

Mr. Mizusawa...

Will you marry me?

The one who's been saying that all along

is me.

There's something you should know.

What?

Oh no...

Napoli? Napoli!

You should at least eat. Napoli...

I'm still alive.

Sorry... I shouldn't have

provoked you like that.

It's okay. I feel relieved.

Relieved?

It wasn't Takeshi who held her

and told her he loved her.

- What do you mean?

- It was Yuuki.

So my uncle overrode Napoli?

This is confusing.

I want her to be happy.

I can't do that with this body.

What do you mean?

I know... It's my own body.

I guess it's not just mine.

How can you laugh?

I laugh especially when I'm sad.

- I need a favor.

- What is it?

When I finished the song

I felt connected to the universe

so I went up on the roof.

I thought I could reach out

and feel the universe's life force.

But I had an attack.

I passed out and fell off.

There's something I want to do

while I still have Yuuki's memories.

Good music can make people smile.

Just like good food.

Brown, chow time.

- Excuse me.

- Yes.

Is there a Takeshi Tanaka here?

Takeshi Tanaka? Yes.

A letter for Takeshi Tanaka.

There's no return address on it.

Do you know who it's from?

Who?

Don't worry about it.

Hello.

May I?

Please.

Thanks.

It was great.

You're investigating, as usual.

As usual?

Whether it's popular or not

you go to each new restaurant

to check out its food.

You're the most diligent chef I know.

May I ask for a favor?

Thank you for coming...

to our wedding reception.

We've only invited...

our closest friends today.

Although we don't have anything special planned

the meal you'll be eating today

is made by an up-and-coming chef

I discovered myself.

It's not a course and the entire

menu was left up to the chef.

I believe he's more skilled than

the one at Le Logge.

I hope you enjoy it.

Up-and-coming chef?

Sorry I didn't tell you.

Be strong.

It's Takeshi Tanaka's

biggest moment of his life.

Who's the chef?

Eat and you'll know.

Let's eat.

Ruri...

What are you making?

Authentic Spaghetti Neapolitan?

Never.

Why not?

It's the one thing I won't make.

I still remember to this day.

It was the beginning of everything.

Perfect.

Who made this?

I promised not to tell.

Yuuki Makihara...

I decided a long time ago

to ask a chef like Take

to cook for my wedding.

Let's finish the meal.

Please let Takeshi and

me be together forever.

It's ready! Seafood soup

has to be eaten right away!

How can it end up shaped like this?

I had a bad feeling when you said

you were making chocolate.

Sorry.

No.

This chocolate you made as an example...

How do you make it so nice?

I quit. I'm never making chocolate again.

I like this one better.

It's full of love.

You ate it!

The chocolate I worked so hard to make

for my true love.

Sorry about that. Give him this.

I can't give my true love

something a guy friend made.

Who is he?

I won't say.

Why? Did you want one from me?

Out of obligation? No thanks.

"To Takeshi, from Ruri"

Darn.

It looks nicer than mine.

How innovative.

Japanese-style risotto and bagna cauda.

The taste of the earth...

I've been here 3 days

and he hasn't touched me.

He took it seriously

when I said no fooling around.

I caught a cold on purpose

so I could stay here.

I'll do what I have to.

I'll keep my cold until he pins me down.

What are you doing!?

Who are you talking to?

Were you listening?

Of course not.

- Why are you dressed like that out here?

- Yes.

- You have a cold.

- I have a cold.

Come inside.

- No.

- No?

Don't be stupid.

Make me rice porridge?

No. Not if you go outside dressed like that.

You can eat every grain

so it's easy to wash the bowl.

Great diet food since it makes you full

with a small amount of rice.

Eat in moderation.

Napoli...

- I'm okay.

- Don't overwork yourself.

Today, you have to let me.

The final dish is something special

for the bride from the chef.
