Unless he was there too. Ho, he just had to be there looking up at me, I wonder if he saw my underwear. Oh, no, the medallion Not here, but maybe it’s in this pocket. Not there. Oh, no It’s not anywhere I don’t believe it. I can’t find it anywhere

So the big shoot’s today, right? Then that means this is your big show debut. I should get your autograph now before it’s too late. Silly Hey. Yuu. Wait a second. Wait.

What’s the matter with those idiots Lighten up, All they’re doing is just showing you that they support you, silly I’ve just gotta find that medallion And I will find it. It’s not anywhere I wonder if the cleaning person threw it away by mistake, This is too much, I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. Wait a second, Maybe it fell though a crack in the floor It’s too dark in here, I can’t see anything What are you doing? Miss Koishikawa? Miss Koishikawa I’d like to introduce you to Kei Tsuchiya. He’s been working here for about two months now. You two help each other out, and try to get along okay? Okay I would like to get along, but it's so awkward He must think I’m a total klutz and a bad worker. Still, he is my coworker. I should at least try You know, you have a really great name, Kei May I call you Kei? Sure. He’s not very friendly I’m sorry about yesterday, did I hurt you? It’s just that you startled me I wasn’t expecting to see anyone You weren’t schedule to come into work yesterday, so why’d you show up then? I forgot something here the other day and I came by to look for it, then I saw the refrigerator door was open, and I went to check it out. Just a minute, look at me when you talk to me, that is so rude, I mean really I just can’t hold it in, I mean you’re just too funny, you are just so ridiculous I tried so hard not to look at your face that I wouldn’t burst out laughing. I tried everything I could think of, really I did. My stomach hurts so much Look who’s talking, there’s smarty-pants, you look pretty stupid of yourself now, don’t you I’ll call him over Yuu, come over here please Let shows go on there and have some fun with this, all right? Yes, sir, thank you. You don’t have any lines to speak, and you don't even have to move, so you’ll be just fine And this is the copy of the shooting script for you. Thank you. Ah, mom. Tell me, did you know about this before hand? He finally figured it out. It’s good, isn’t it? I’m out of here. Stop right there. Listen to me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime request, do it for your mother, please. I wasn’t keeping it from you, I just kept quiet. Same thing Yuu Hello, suzu. It’s cute, isn’t it? I can’t wait to see you when you’re done, you’ll look fabulous. Great. Wow, great. Um-hum. That’s a fantastic place for you to work Miki. How soon before you can get some more? Not very, I had to pay for that out of my own pocket you know. There aren’t any leftovers to take home when it comes to ice cream Today’s a special treat Okay, I guess I’ll have to buy you more. Yuu and Chiyako are running very late. The commercial is only 30 seconds long, right? I guess it must take a long time to make a commercial I can’t believe I still haven’t found the medallion What am I going to tell him? We’re home They’re here Welcome home. So, tell us, how the shot went? It looks like it’s gonna be a big hit. But there’s still a lot more work to do before it’s completed Really? Too bad What was it like, tell us everything Not much to say, you have to wait to see how it turns out. What do you mean? Tell me what the set was like and all about the cloth you wore Yuu. I’m exhausted, I think I’m gonna go to bed Yuu. Miki brought some really good ice cream from her work especially for you, Maybe later. Yuu. You’re working tomorrow, right? I do too, why don’t we head out together Sure, why not Yuu. Why was he so cold to me tonight I’ve heard before that once he have tasted of show business, it can be really hard to walk away from it What’s wrong Yuu? I feel like he’s drifting away from me Yuu. Are you still sleeping? Aren’t you working today? Where’s Miki? She already left for work a while ago. Let’s head out together She left without me I left without him, I wonder if he’s angry But I’m afraid to talk to him now It’s just that I’m worried I’ll find out that he’s turning into someone else. I wonder if this is happening because I lost the medallion Where did it go anyway. I’m not sure if I can go on that trip with him anymore. Miss Koishikawa. Maybe you should go home early today, don't you think? I’m sorry Today was a disaster Why don’t you check the tourist spots? Yuu. I’m home Don't worry, I’ll find some great places. Yeah, he sure knows you, doesn’t he? Now I’m all motivated and ready again. I’m going to work extra hard so I can reach my goal really quickly Cut it out, now you’re starting to make me jealous Miki. Well, I think it’s time the third wheel got going. You don't have to go, meiko. No problem, it’s okay. Meiko. Wow, this is so weird, it’s like we had this amazing psyche connection That’s not exactly how I put it. Come on, can’t you be honest? Hold on, I wanted to tell you, I read your article on Updike in the newsletter Well. What’d you think of it? I really didn’t understand it very much, I’ve never read Updike before I’m just kidding, actually it made me want to read some of his books. I don't know how good of an essay it was, but it was an interesting read. You know I think you have a knack for writing creative stories, maybe you should try writing fiction. Fiction? I could never write that. Why not? I don't have the kind of talent that takes to write fiction, besides that, I would much rather be reading books written by some other truly gifted writers. You don't have to write a great masterpiece your first time out, I think you were the type of girl who likes to keep all of thoughts inside herself. Why don't you write about yourself or the people around you? You might feel a great satisfaction but you’ll never know if you don't give it a chance. Writing a fictional story should be fun, so give it a try I don't know Oh. You can do it, Meiko. let me read it when you’re done, okay? I’ll see you later. Miki’s watching Satoshi with a very serious look on her face. Maybe something happened? It’s only a matter of time before she falls for him That’s never gonna happen. Meiko is still madly in love with Na-chan Oh. Are you sure about that? Um-hum. Then let’s bet on it. I can’t do that, I don't want to make bets about her. Meiko’s my best friend. I love that about you, Miki You’re off to the studio after school, right? Yeah, but today is the last day. I’ll finally be free. Are you really finished? What if this commercial is a big hit like your mom thinks it’s gonna be and you get famous? You dork, I’m not doing this again. Great job. Yeah, I was fortunate to work with all of you, and I’d like to thank you for that. Suzu you more than exceeded my expectations. And Yuu, so then, would you be interested in becoming a professional actor? Hardly, this is my first and last time. Oh. Is that so? That’s too bad. Yeah. Yes, I’m finally free, You’re so funny. Yuu. Thank you for everything until next time Bye But there’s not gonna be a next time Thank you very much, come again You’re cheerful today, like a totally different person. So did you mess something up again? Be quite. I heard you’re a second year over at Yoryo high school, right? So that means you’re only a year older than I am Oh. You’re a first year? What high school do you go to? I don't go to school anymore. I see He seems so distant, I wonder if there’s a reason. Hey, I’ll bet that you really like listening to music, don't you? The very first time I met you, I just knew that you were into music somehow, you seem like the type of guy who’d be in a band You’d look good with a microphone or a guitar. Not really, I’m not all that interested in music So anyway, when I saw you on the floor in the freezer the other day, what were you doing in there? I was, I was looking for my medallion, it’s really small, only but this big and it has the T high school seal on it. I must have dropped it here the other day, Is it worth anything? Only to me, the thing is my boyfriend and I exchanged them when we put our photos inside. You have a boyfriend? Um-hum. Yeah, his name is Yuu. Have you seen it lying around here by any chance? No, ‘fraid not. Okay.
What did Yuu and Suzu do in the commercial, I wonder if they were supposed to a couple, I get angry just thinking about it, I just want to see it and use my mind, and then Suzu shows up, why? What does she want?
So as you can see, I screwed up my first day on the job,
But it’s all for my first trip alone with Yuu
I know it will be difficult, but I have to keep trying
I have to keep trying for Yuu
Hey, that guy wouldn’t come into the shop though the back door?
Unless he was there too.
Ho, he just had to be there looking up at me,
I wonder if he saw my underwear.
Oh, no, the medallion
Not here, but maybe it’s in this pocket.
