01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

I...

love Hiroko-senpai!

Huh?

- Huh?
- Huh?

So, I'm going to pursue her!

I'll do my best to win

Hiroko-senpai's heart!

Of course, I will do my work properly!

And I won't cause any problems.

Thank you very much!

But I have an appointment,

so I'll be out until around noon!

Thank you for listening!

It's over.

Now, what will

everyone's reaction be?

Disappointed.

Forced laughter?

Or boycott?

Or...

Wait, Hiroko.

That was a

once-in-a-lifetime confession!

What are you standing around for?

Come on!

As expected of Hiroko-senpai!

Even girls are into you!

I was aiming for Ayaka-chan, though!

Kids these days have guts!

Confessing in front of

everyone like that!

So, what's your response, Hiroko?

Come on!

Huh?

Huh?

This kind of reaction?

Wait!

I really like Hiroko-san!

Are you seriously going to date Ayaka?

Huh?

I'll also pursue her!

I won't lose to Ayaka!

Ugh.

Because Hiroko's so kind.

So you're quite popular.

Hey! Don't cause a scene

in the office, okay?

Right?

You too.

Me?

Thanks for your hard work. Risa.

Hey, Ayaka,

about this morning…

Yeah. I managed to raise my voice!

That's not what I meant.

Mama told us about it.

That's why Hiroko-chan

has been working desperately

hiding the truth

ever since that happened.

So why…

I'm absolutely sure it'll be okay.

Ayaka...

I

will never give up on Hiroko-senpai.

"Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko"

"Episode 7 Girls' stuff"

What do you intend to do?

Saying that in front of everyone.

I just wanted everyone

to know how I feel.

I

don't intend to come out at the company.

- So...
- I understand.

I will never leak Hiroko-senpai's secret

from my mouth.

I just...

can't give up

because I'm in love with someone

who's a woman.

Just as you can't tell the truth,

I also can't lie about my feelings.

Ayaka...

If Hiroko-senpai isn't interested

in dating me…

my feelings for
Hiroko-senpai are mine alone.

No one can interfere with them,

not even Hiroko-senpai.

But...

I…

Also,

I didn't confess without any chance.

Huh?

I knew it, you really like

off-shoulder tops,

When I walked in,

you had an expression

that you're pleased.

Even if you try to hide it, it's no use.

Because I'm always watching.

I've been watching you for a long time.

I'll pursue you with all my strength,
so be prepared!

What does this mean?

No, but off-shoulder tops

are just unfair.

Haa...

Did you hear about Ayaka-chan's

confession yesterday?

Yeah, she confessed to

Hiroko-senpai, right?

Well, it's fine, right?

We need to accept things

in this era.

Right? I hope it works out!

Yeah.

I guess I'll try harder too.

- How about we plan an event for this?
- This era...

Work, work.

Is this right?

Here?

No.

Huh? Maybe over here?

Ayaka, what are you doing?

I'm making this for Hiroko-senpai.

Ayaka-chan, did you come out?

Huh? Come out?

- Come...
- Disclosure one's sexual orientation.

Oh, is that so?

I already come out, huh?

It's okay,

I like both yuri and BL,

so I understand!

Ah...

I don't accept that!

I like Hiroko-san more!

I want Ayaka-chan to succeed, though!

Yeah, typically, liking a guy

gives them an advantage,

seeing Ayaka-chan's big changes

would be exciting!

Ayaka-chan, if you have any problems,

come to me!

Everyone seems to be supporting her,

but…

It's nothing.

I just want to tell the person

I like how I feel.

Huh?

Alright.

That's right!

Everyone, instead of supporting

the love between the girls,

let's support Ayaka and

Hiroko-senpai's relationship!

Yes, exactly!

Ayaka and I are pure romantic rivals,

so it's not about gender!

Right?

Yes, that's right!

Ah… I guess so.

Maybe we were treating it too specially.

Sorry.

Good for you, Ayaka!

Ayaka?

Okay! Done!

I'm going to win Hiroko-senpai's

heart and stomach, rigth?

- Ah...
- Ah...

That's so like Ayaka-chan.

Hiroko-senpai! Thanks for

your hard work!

Please enjoy this for your lunch break!

What kind of decoration is that?

I made this for you, senpai!

Here you go!

Ayaka, that's...

Here you go!

Yes.

Bon appétit.

It's delicious.

I've been practicing every day

since the last time I made you bento.

Since then...

you've always liked me.

Senpai,

ahhh...

Ahh...

No, no, no!

I'll eat it myself! Thank you.

That was close!! I was about to eat it.

Not yet...

The battle has only just begun.

The battle...

Good morning.

Senpai! Good morning!

Abdominal surface.

I've decided on a girly look today!

Do you like this kind of outfit?

I love it!

Thank goodness, you like it!

What? Did I say that?

It was on your face!

Huh?

This is the schedule for

next week's music event!

Please check it!

Thank you.

Well then, I have a meeting.

Haa...

Ayaka is so motivated.

The next proposal was also approved,

so it seems like work is going great.

Right?

I'm so glad, Hiroko.

Feeling motivated by such

a hardworking girl every day.

No...

Yeah.

- Hiroko-senpai!
- Hmm?

Today I'm wearing slits!

Slits!

Ah.

You don't have to show them.

There's been a schedule change from

the other party for tomorrow's meeting,

so I've reserved a different

conference room!

Oh, thank you.

And...

I've also compiled the improvements that

came up in yesterday's meeting!

Huh?

You compiled this in such

a short amount of time?

Yes! Because I thought it was necessary!

Oh... that's a big help, thank you.

And this too.

Hmm?

Is this a document too?

It's a love letter.

A 10,000-word masterpiece.

Please read it all.

A love letter?

Wow! A love letter!

Finally, making a proper approach.

No, this approach isn't proper!

Hiroko-senpai,

I'll write you a love letter too!

Yeah. Thanks.

Hmmm...

Stretching, so cute.

Senpai!

I can't reach this document up there.

I'll get it.

Thank you, senpai.

Too close!

There's such a big height difference.

Ah, ah, ah.

Ah... I'm sorry!

Ah.

Slapping a wall fiercely?

Indeed.

No!

I didn't do it!

Wait!

Yuya!

[Dear Hiroko-senpai]

Hey, do your work.

Yes.

Senpai!

Oh.

Cute hairstyle.

How about we go on a date sometime?

A date?

Wait, everyone's looking.

Huh?

I want to get some exercise!

Do you want to play sports with me?

Huh?

Everyone...

are you all getting used to it already?

Senpai! Do you want to go on a date?

Okay, I'll go!

But please keep your voice down.

Yay!

Ha... so cute!

Okay,

let's do it.

I'm going to play tennis with senpai.

Senpai! Please be gentle.

Okay!

Senpai's gym clothes! They're cool!

Ayaka's gym clothes are cute.

Oh!

Senpai, your ball is strong!

Really? Ayaka has good control, too.

It's kind of refreshing.

Almost lovely.

Ahhh,

it's great to be able to

play sports with senpai!

Ah!

Whoa!

You're good.

Ha, that was fun!

Right?

It's been a while since

I last exercised.

It was my dream.

To hang out with you on a day off...

for no particular reason.

So...

I'm so glad I mustered up

the courage to ask you out.

Me too.

Huh?

I'm sorry.

Ummm...

There was some sweat.

Does this...

Could it be...

Good morning, Hiroko-senpai!

Ayaka, good morning.

Thank you for yesterday!

Likewise.

If it's not too much trouble for you,

would we go out together again?

Ah...

Yeah.

Is this...

Do I have a chance...

In that case, let's arrange for

our next meeting to be next Friday.

Yes, yes, yes.

Mmm.

By the way, Hiroko-kun,

I heard a junior female employee

confessed her feelings to you?

It even reached Saruta-san's ears?

You hear that a lot these days.

It's called LGBTQ, right?

Yes.

Yeah.

Well, love is free, isn't it?

Yeah.

- Right.
- Yeah.

But...

Those girls are fine now,

but what will they do when

they get married and

have kids in the future?

You're right.

- How old is she?
- Umm...



Hmm, she's young!

Well,

it's good to have that

kind of life experience.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Oh, that's right. Saruta-san.

Hmm?

- How was that sauna you mentioned?
- Ah! I was wondering about that too!

- Ah, right.
- Yes.

- There was something like that.
- How was it?

That's how I was supposed to react.

- How nice.
- The water was so good.

I almost got it wrong.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

That's right, Hiroko-kun.

Make sure you think about

that thing properly.

Yes.

You weren't in the office,

so you're here.

Oh. Ayaka.

Your hair is messy!

Have you been here this whole time?

No, just a while ago.

It's time to go, so I'll go now.

Did she just avoid me?

If she feel the same way,

why are you still hesitating?

- Public confession?
- Public confession?

Something has happened

since you last came here.

As expected of Ayaka, she went all out.

That's great! I want someone to do

something emotional like that to me too!

What did the company say?

Was Ayaka-chan boycotted?

Mmm...

Well...

It was a different reaction

than I expected.

Of course.

Things have changed since the old days.

But...

Some people were being considerate

and keeping up with the times.

Those girls are fine now,

but what will they do when

they get married and

have kids in the future?

Not everyone has intention of

giving sincere congratulations.

Hiro-chan.

Ah, what a gloomy woman!

I could never sleep

with a woman like that!

I'd never sleep with

a woman like you either!

I wouldn't sleep with you either!

First of all, I'm not interested!

- Huh? I'm not interested either!
- Oh. Isn't it about time now?

Aren't you going home?

- I just got here!
- Oh, is that so? That's good for you.

Hmph!

Shut up!

Umm...

That thing you were talking about...

was this a reply to what happened

the other day?

Ayaka,

what do you want to do with me?

Huh?

Ummm...

I want to become closer to you.

And...

I'd like to go out with you!

Umm...

If we go out together,

what do we have to do to reach the goal?

I don't know what the goal is, though.

Ah...

Go on a date.

Oh.

The other day was fun.

Yes.

We ate dessert and took pictures.

And we went on trips!

That's right,

we went on a business trip together.

Yes, it was for work,

but we rode the train, ate meals...

it was so much fun.

Yeah.

I had fun too.

And then...

Do that...

H...

Hug each other.

Senpai.

What's next?

Kiss...

No, just kidding.

You've achieved everything.

Let's end this here,

Ayaka.

Huh?

I'm going to seal

my feelings here.

That's how

I protect Ayaka.

[Final episode]

Why don't you understand?

Don't you actually like Ayaka?

Is that okay? What if Hiroko finds out?

Stop k*lling your feelings.

I...
