Waiting here won't make him come.

What's going on?

A quarrel?

No, she's sitting here.

She's waiting for him.

That's not true.

It's no use.

He rarely comes here.

That's what I said

before.

Are you leaving?

It's better.

The more you run after men,

the more they run away from you.

You're at Fujimiso.

Tsuneo.

Where are you?

Akita?

Where are you?

When will you be back?

I'd like to meet you...

I've been to your place.

There was a weird guy

with sun glasses.

What are you telling me?

I didn't say that.

But I had no choice!

It's urgent, I'm telling you.

Anyway don't go back to my apartment,

okay?

If you go back there,

you'll get involved as well.

I want to see you right now.

That's impossible right now.

We'll meet the next time I come back.

I have a favor to ask you.

What?

I need 3 million Yen.

Are you serious?

Tell your family you're

in a critical situation.

You need an appendicitis operation.

If you don't have the money, you know

your father's address, don't you?

He could probably...

I can't ask him for that.

Without it I'm screwed.

You're always talking about yourself.

What do you think I want to tell you?

Tell me when I'm back.

For now, do as l said.

I'm counting on you.

I'm hanging up.

Take care.

I wasn't expecting

to receive a call from you.

How does it feel

going from official to pub owner?

It's much better than the town hall.

There's a lot of young people like you.

It's like I'm becoming young again.

Are you getting along well

with your partner?

I wouldn't say that.

And with mom?

She refuses to sign the divorce papers.

I'm embarrassed.

Don't you want children

with the new one?

No she doesn't want any.

And I'm too old anyway.

Have you got any problems?

No, I just suddenly wanted to see you.

Take this.

No thanks.

-Don't worry about it.

OK. But I'll give it back to you.

Come on, don't worry about it!

That's not you.

I'm an adult now.

Welcome!

What's going on?

You look like you have nothing to do.

Yes, after that incident

I don't have a lot to do.

Don't be so worried,

smile a bit.

Got it!

What about him?

I think he's at the rooftop.

Men really think they can do anything.

Pregnancy interruption request.

Partner:
Tsuyama Tsuneo.

What a mess!

I'm back.

What happened?

Aren't you feeling well?

It seems I caught a cold.

A cold?

Let me see.

It seems you don't have fever.

Did you show that to a doctor?

Yes.

-And?

He said I caught a cold.

Look, I brought back some souvenirs.

Isn't it great?

It's a couple of dolls.

Do you want some rice crackers?

No.

It fell down.

I'll put it back later.

It's really dirty in here.

I'll do the laundry.

Don't! Just put it there.

Come on, I'm able to do the laundry.

-Stop it, I feel ashamed.

You're sick,

so take it easy and sleep.

As for the job, it looks good.

I wrote it in the letter.

Good for you.

So many things happened.

Do you like doing the laundry?

Not really, but I can do it.

The old man goes searching for wood in the mountain.

The old lady does the laundry by the river.

I like that.

But the old lady

lies down in bed with a cold.

What do you want to eat for dinner?

Should I cook a Kagoshima dish?

What is that?

The one I wanted to bring from Kagoshima.

Didn't you read my letters?

Excuse me.

Miss Tsuyama.

Do you have the document?

Did you skip breakfast?

-Yes.

Please wait there.

Please count slowly.

Excuse me, how much is this?

500 Yen.

I'll take it like this.

Thank you.

I don't want to see you anymore.

Don't ask me for the reason.

Give me back my duplicate key.

My letters.

Why did you call me so suddenly

to ask for 3 million?

You didn't get it, right?

How could I?

I don't even know what you wanted it for.

I'm being pursued.

Did you read my article?

That gang is not very nice.

Yes it was interesting.

If I can't get 3 million Yen,

I'll lose my pinkie.

That's why I'm running away.

Furthermore, you caused problems coming to my place,

that's also why.

Come on.

It's my fault

if you have trouble at work?

I didn't say that.

I had a lot of problems with my work.

you only think about yourself.

What was your emergency?

I'm asking you, answer me.

I'm pregnant.

ls it my child?

Yes.

That's impossible.

Why is that?

But you're with the other guy.

And it never happened beforehand.

You're not obliged to trust me.

You only trust yourself

anyway.

Have an abortion!

I'd like you to a have an abortion.

I don't want children.

I'll never have any.

I don't want to leave my blood.

Have an abortion!

Please do it for me.

I don't want to become a father.

It's already done.

I already did.

Yeah?

F***ing bastard!

What do you think you're doing, bastard!?

Let's have some tea.

You don't want?

Do you prefer alcohol?
