him down.
Next time let's go somewhere just the two of us.
Okay.
Is something the matter?
No.
Kyoko-san.
Are you okay?
Completely A-OK!
And so the seasons pass...
Hey there.
Akemi Roppongi here.
It seems like they had to buck themselves up.
Men and women...
...each to do what they have to do.
Maybe that's enough talk for now.
But you know, that Kanrinin-san
couldn't satisfy them very well, could she?
But that's alright...
But it is so vexing!
Hey, Godai!
"Godai?" Show the proper respect!
[The kid is supposed to say, "Godai-sensei."]
Teacher!
What!
Nothing!
Anyway, why do I always end up with you, Kuroki?
I got you this job, didn't I?
That's true.
It suits you.
Really?
Uh huh.
Hey, Godai! Let's play!
Okay, but you need to show respect!
Ah!
Welcome home. You've worked hard.
Thanks.
Ah, here.
I got you lots.
Oh, thanks.
It's job-hunting time, isn't it.
Pretty soon.
This was a lot of trouble.
Not at all.
Eh? / Eh?
Listen.
When I find a job...
Yes.
Wh- wh- when I find a job...
When you find job?
When I find a job...
Will... will...
I'll be a productive member of society, right?
That's right.
Right.
Anyway.
Okay.
"When I find a job, I'll be
a productive member of society, right?"
Here.
That's obvious.
No matter what you say,
you screw it up, jeez.
You were listening?
He's slow at everything.
As if we wouldn't want to listen.
As if he were not at all interesting.
You guys.
Even though you have a weakness for
messing with me.
More than a weakness:
I relish it.
What are you talking about?
That can't be what you meant to say.
Huh?
What did you want to say?
Say it.
Well, that is.
That is?
When we get married
will you find a job for me?
Huh?
No, that's wrong.
When I find a...
/ I got it. Say no more.
So what about this
all-important job hunting?
I'm gonna find one.
He say's he'll find one.
Easier said than done.
You might want to see this.
[Students pour into the big companies]
[Small and mid-size are overflowing]
[Companies choose only top-level students.]
So that's how the job market is.
[Companies choose only top-level students.]
But why did you do this?
Don't tell me
you were worried about me?
Because I relish messing with you.
But that's okay.
You can be a "job-hunting ronin."
What?
You think that's okay?
Sure.
After all, "ronin" is what you are.
Of course. I suits you perfectly.
No way.
No way I'll be a ronin again.
What about repeating a year of college?
Yeah, that's a great idea!
It will work out perfectly.
Great idea!
Hey, buck up, Mr. Repeat-A-Year!
Either way is great!
Won't you guys just leave!?
How long has it been
since we heard from him?
Five years.
If he got a job, we were to be married.
If not, he would leave forever.
I'm so tired.
I think I should accept Mitaka-san's proposal.
Yes, you should, you should.
Yes.
That would be best.
Wait, Kyoko-san, wait!
It was a nightmare.
It's too awful.
Here. Ahh.
/ Ahh.
Is it good? / Good!
Kyoko-san!
Eh?
Do you know him?
No, Honey.
I never saw him before.
What's he up to?
Let's go!
Kyoko-san!
Kyoko-san!
Leave us alone!
Please wait a minute!
Kyoko-san!
Kyoko-saaaaa...!
Ow!
What?!
Two nightmares?!
I must conquer this.
I will conquer.
Since Otonashi-san loves dogs,
I can't be by her side like I am.
But if I conquer it, I'm perfect.
No weak points. A perfect match.
What's your name...
It's McEnroe!
McEnroe.
Good boy...
W- w- wait!
Stay away!
Otonashi-san!
Otonashi-saaaaa...!
[Tokyo Gakuen University]
Yes?
I'd like help with job hunting.
Of course.
Yes.
What are looking for?
Hmm...
Well, I need to think about my future,
so I'd like to get into a top-level company.
For example,
Tomosumi Kaisho Kasai or Yotsui Yotsubishi.
I see.
Yes.
I want to get married, you see.
Is that right?
I guess that one's impossible.
I'm begging you.
We do not accept applications
without a letter of recommendation.
I'm terribly sorry.
