Bisaki chan. Yes.
It's just a friendly get together, but rumor has it that Tsukimoto Shouji san
and Aida Senin san have a dispute about the takeover,
let's not have them sit at the same table. Oh OK.
The dinner with Kawahara san tonight,
he wants to change it to Chez Minakami.
Huh? Even though we had it a popular restaurant.
Can we get a reservation. Impossible.
Well, I know the restaurant's owner.
Is it all right? To suddenly change the restaurant?
It is a popular restaurant?
Oh, ~, well, I've thought so.
Well that's what I get paid for.
Excuse me. President.
Yes? I was able to get reservations
at Chez Minakami as you requested.
It's their private room in the back as always.
Oh great, thank you. That's wonderful~
your secretary is superb. Well, yea.
Well, in my company,
it's often said that our women are indispensable,
but somehow, we don't really know how much.
In this company, we are proactive in making the best use of our female talent.
What do you think, female talent? Are you fully utilized?
I think I'm fully utilized. I thought you'd say you weren't.
Well, lately
it's been improper to make a distinction between the sexes,
Of course, I would prefer a beautiful woman bring
us our tea. Really, as you say, well
I'm envious of your beautiful secretary. So, so, on that point,
I make sure I check them out good when I interview them.
I am careful to not say anything sexual harassing when I interview women,
as Director Akechi has so thoroughly chastised me, but
my eyes, where they might wander,
he can't complain about that....
Well, we just check that they are suitable for the job.
That's all? You are kidding !
Joking again...
No, really, really.
Yea, yea, from her butt, and I go up,
from her butt and up like this....
Got it, sure.
The discussions seemed to go well. That's right.
By the way President. Yes?
You really need to apologize to Saejima san, for what you said.
Huh? Is there something I said that was wrong?
You implied after the face and chest, nothing else matters.
I said face and chest? You're saying you didn't?
I didn't say that. Anyway, what you said,
will extinguish motivation! You need to be a little more careful.
No big deal, it's the female employees job to always have a smiling face.
Well you know that is.... Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Oh no problem. Please, this way.
Is it alright today ? If you have time after we eat.
Oh, I can even write ~.
Haven't you had a lot of contact with President Mitamura lately?
And you haven't been able to learn anything?
"Happy Birthday."
"Thank you."
"Don't tell me, you've fallen for him?" "Possibly."
All the stuff I've seen lately doesn't support the premise of the book.
How about writing a book saying he's actually a good person?
What ~ ? There's no way to sell a book like that.
It's a book exposing the true character of the president of a black enterprise.
even the publisher expects such a book would be easy to sell.
The point is I got you a job at Tres Fields
and you haven't brought me anything? You mean me?
You're so absentminded. Don't you need to get to work?
Oh, it's that time?
Why so cheerful..
I get to see Yuki chan today.
Great, don't be late.
Well, I'm off.
"Ways of the Working Woman"?
"Maternity leave, Childcare leave, Promotion discrimination."
How is that at Tres Fields?
It came.
The Tie-up documents came, please prepare copies for everyone.
We need them at the meeting. Yes.
Excuse me. Yes.
President. Yes?
We got the Tie-up documents. Oh, thank you.
Oh, right, this
was taken off today's agenda, it'll wait till tomorrow.
Huh, is that right? Yes.
You should have let me know that sooner.
My bad, my bad. Oh and this survey,
tally it by tomorrow morning.
Huh... is this that urgent?
Not particularly, why?
To get it done by tomorrow morning means
I'll have to stay up late tonight working on it.
So what? Oh, do you have plans for a date?
I don't, but. Then it's not a problem is it?
Whether I have a date or not,
has nothing to do with whether you have a right to my free time at night.
Going home by yourself, you don't know what to do with the time anyway?
I have no obligation to answer that.
Then what is your problem? Oh, so you don't want to do it?
I didn't say I didn't want to. Then you're fine.
Even if you have me work overtime at night, Sorry but,
it would be nice if you could be a little more considerate!
Well I'm fine with it, but
having that attitude toward the other employees,
what will happen to you as President.
Are you that anxious for words of appreciation?
I'm always grateful for your hard work!
You sound terribly insincere.
So if I say what you want me to say right now,
of course it's going to sound insincere.
What the heck is it you want...?
If a husband tells his wife,
such few words of appreciation, it would really upset her!
That's a strange example. To preserve affection between a couple,
even I know that kind words are necessary.
But between us, it's only a contract of employment.
I pay you your wages, you do your job, is there some problem with that ?
Having to work together with someone like the president,
I too get sucked into all your busyness.
Maybe just a few
sincere words of appreciation might not be too much trouble?
There it is, Women are always bitching...
Huh !? What did you say! You know men,
things like words of appreciation, and kind words,
they don't need to be told those things.
We use them on women! How do I say this,
in a place like this, having to think about another's emotions at work,
how could I make practical use of that?
You're awful.
I haven't even had a day off, since I came to work here.
If you really want a day off that bad, go ahead and take one.
Why won't you take one? Because if I take a day off,
you won't be able to handle it while I'm gone!
It's fine even if I can't handle it, it's your privilege as an employee.
Well, then I'll take it, paid vacation. Sure, please, please.
I've accumulated a lot of days.
I'm taking them all! Please take all you want.
Understood. Thank you very much.
No problem, you're welcome.
Oh right, right. Have your girls,
take over your job please.
Naturally! Excuse me.
Paid holiday?
Haven't heard that for a while.
Free fansub by evbo, do not hardsub or stream. Find it free somewhere at d-addicts, you might have to look a bit.
As I mentioned the Mikami department store contract,
needs to be stamped by the day after tomorrow. Yes.
And you take care of the store inspection. Yes.
Saejima san, did something happen with the president?
No, not really. Well then, why suddenly the vacation?
Taking a vacation is so strange? Isn't it just normal !
Well, yea, it's normal.
Huh~ ? Did he really say that?
Yes. Because it so ticked me off,
I decided to take my paid vacation.
It'll be 4 days starting tomorrow, and with next Saturday, I'll be off 6 days.
Isn't that nice ~. Kyoko Sensei, what do you do when you're off?
I am just a lecturer. Thus I'm at the bottom of the totem pole,
they're likely to tell me not to come in anymore if I took time off.
Women lecturers at best, are still looked down upon.
I thought at least at a university, that sexual equality existed.
Not the case, at this university it just appears that way.
Promotions are given much quicker to the men.
How does Tres Fields do on this point?
How is the working environment for women?
Well it's not particularly bad, but the president
only complains about the women. He's the type
that just thinks a woman's place is to look pretty and be seen with a smiling face.
Oh, that's the pattern among Japanese managers,
while saying they promote the utilization of female talent,
their true feeling are opposite. Yes.
If you have a problem with your workplace, isn't alright to say something?
If things don't get better, just quit and go to another place.
You can something like that, because you are a doctor.
Someone like me who is a college lecturer, if I quit, I just become unemployed.
Just because I'm a doctor, doesn't mean it's easy.
But because we have expert knowledge, and special skills,
it doesn't matter whether we're a man or a woman, we're up to the job.
You're right. Yes, yes.
Well, let's drink tonight. Ta da...
I bought this.
What ~ ? Alright ~.
Alright, today we're going to get plastered.
Drink up, drink up. Hey, I'll get some glasses.
Please.
What's going on?
This is a first.
Yuri refused to be on one of Kenta's movies.
"Yuri, you'll be in this one too."
"Don't want to." Huh?
"Running zombies!!" Is it really that bad?
Is that the problem?
All we can do is watch.
Hi ! What's everybody doing?
Crap, the guy that can't read the air came.
Oh, what's this? you're making a movie?
"The Running Zombies" That's good, do it.
Shut up.
Yuri chan, you'll be in it, right?
Oh, I have to get to class. Huh?
What? Did something happen?
Your laughing.
It's not that complicated.
What's not complicated? It's just all you ever do
is have Yuri chan be in these kind of movies,
it's just natural for her to get sick of it.
Sorry for doing this kind of movie.
You can use this situation to further your social opportunities.
If you have no girls here that want to be in your movie,
what I'm saying is go outside the club to find actresses.
It's the same at my company. The girls that are regular employees,
are always claiming equality and privilege.
Well, at those times, what do I do?
I bring in temps from an agency.
Temps ? There's some pretty prestigious temp agencies.
I might be able to catch some elite man at a place like that.
Right, right, whether it's personal or a company,
it's important to have the same strategies.
Like you have pointed out, Natsumi chan. Anyway,
right now in the world, there's this thing called outsourcing,
there are some things that are too expensive to do yourself.
Wait a minute, there's no cost in the club.
Yes that's right, but the needed resources are not here are they?
Oh, what about if you scout around the university?
"Hey, we're doing this movie, I really want you to be in it?"
If you ask it like that, you'll only get weird girls to be in it....
We could take applications for the lead?
When you're doing auditions, you really have to call me.
OK.
You footloose and fancy free idiot. What do you think it takes to make a movie?
Oh Kenta.
Kenta kun, right. In your situation,
Besides losing your leading lady, you've had your heart broken at the same time.
I understand how you feel. You don't understand anything.
I have this to say.
Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket. Whats that?
If you drop the basket, all the eggs will break.
So this means in this situation,
it would be good to separate the girl you like, from the lead actress.
This is also true in business, and in personal relationships.
Oh I see~.
It's not so easy to do. Don't put all your eggs....
Hey, you don't need to take notes!
Oh... Yuri chan, what's wrong?
It was uncomfortable in the club room.
Is it alright if I'm here?
Fine. I wasn't getting anything done anyway.
What is it you were doing? I was researching the point of view
of how women are used in the workplace,
after really looking at it, I get depressed realizing
that probably the worst place is here in my situation.
Oh, what about you?
I just refused to be in Kenta's movie.
Well, it you don't want to, there nothing you can do.
It was you that said, wasn't it?
"Try dating someone more age appropriate."
Yes. But,
I unintentionally compared Kenta to Mitamura san.
Did you really.
I really hate myself for being like this.
What should I do?
Mmm, I wonder....
Kyoko Sensei, haven't you had a lot of experience with love?
What?
Hold on a minute. I need to look up some past cases.
If you find anything, please tell me. Yes.
Yes, oh, President. Good morning.
What? Where's Saejima kun?
She took her paid holiday.
Huh?
Oh that's right.
What is it? Is there anything I can help you with?
Oh, the usual investment plan, can you bring that to me?
Excuse me.
Is this what you had requested?
Thank you.
What ? This is wrong.
This is the budget for the new store in Aoyama that's not started yet.
Oh I'm really sorry.
I don't think anyone but Saejima san knows about it.
Huh? She didn't hand it over to anyone?
Well, it's impossible for her to hand over everything.
Oh, I'll go fix it now. We don't have time, don't bother.
Monica Tyler？
Huh?
Yes.
He, could you
Can you translate an English email I got?
Huh, from English?
Are you kidding, you can't?
Oh it's not that we can't, it's just that Saejima san,
Oh, right, Well, OK, I'll use the translation site.
Even without my secretary,
At times like this, the computer is really convenient.
Look it did it. Huh?
"Thing in Japan, I to we
to business..." What is this?
Excuse me, President, sorry to interrupt you when your busy.
What? How do you want to handle the request
for the article on the Internet site
Tokyo Business Online? What the heck is that?
It was supposed to be about empowering women at our company.
Oh, I seem to remember something about that.
Well, I think I had asked Saejima kun to write it,
then forgot about it. But now,
you can't ask Saejima san to write it? Yes?
The deadline is the day after tomorrow. Huh?
What are we going to do? Saejima san is off.
What can we do, give up.
They already have a page waiting.
If we don't provide a manuscript, it will hurt the company's credibility.
Director Akechi. Yes.
Write it. Who me?
Well that's impossible. Why?
It's just that writing isn't my forte.
Oh right.
Huh? Why would you think I would write something like that for you?
Saejima kun took a paid vacation.
I know! You are a business management teacher,
empowering women in the workplace,
is something you surely could make up an article about?
Make up something? Why I'm not even an employee.
In the first place, aren't such things usually written by yourself?
It's the same, whoever writes it. It's fine to use a ghost writer.
All that matters is it gives the right lip service to make everyone happy.
Lip service, do you even know what it means,
to empower women? Empowering women,
pretty much any company out there, just gives it lip service, don't you think?
Would it be so horrible for you to be any different?
A study exists of companies that have empowered women,
and the results were quite positive.
Well if such achievement has been shown,
why have so few companies done much to advance the empowering of women?
That's because until now, the business world is a man's world!
Women have been taught that it's not their place to have influence,
so the wall it's built is an emotional problem.
With that, not only haven't women been empowered, they hear over and over it's bad.
Isn't that just common knowledge.
Then, like that?
Such a wall in our company is being taken down.
How is it that has been taken down?
I'm sorry to ask, but
how many women officers are there in your company?
Mmm, I wonder how many ?
Right now, probably aren't any. Even though you're company sells women's clothes,
how is it that you have no women officers ?
Well, sorry to ask this but, why is it that most
women hairstylists are men, right?
Don't try to change the subject like that.
Actually, isn't Saejima san upset with your attitude
as President of the company?
There it is. Do all you girls get together,
and coordinate your complaints?
Unbelievable, This is why, you women.
Huh ? What did you just say?
No, nothing.
Anyway, I'll pay for the manuscript.
Your pay as a lecturer isn't much is it?
No thank you!
Ticks me off! Who would want to help him?
Man, I can't do it.
There's probably an 85 percent chance this gets rejected.
I think it's 100 percent it gets rejected.
What should we do ?
President, this is terrible. What is it?
A survey was done of employment agencies,
and a ranking was done for enterprises that empower women.
We were ranked the worst among apparel companies.
Huh? How is that?
The ratio of people that took maternity leave, or child care leave
whether we have a well equipped nursery on site or not,
well from that kind of data, they established a ranking.
Huh? How terrible?
It's a hot topic among all the female employees.
If we weren't being compared to other company's, this wouldn't be a problem.
But with this data out there.
I can't believe we have to deal with this.
But President, this manuscript is really important!
If we don't show a real effort that we are empowering women.
Understood. I will write it myself.
Huh, is that OK? President, you've always had Saejima san
write these kind of things for you.
The fact that she's written them for me,
doesn't mean I can't write it.
Even so, back in elementary school,
I got an award for one of my essays.
"It needs to be easier for women
to take time off for child care and such.
To promote the empowerment of women,
First, long hours of overtime should be discouraged,
and the male mind set needs to change." What is this crap?
How can you run a company like that!?
Great, this might bring some changes.
President Mitamura's
old fashioned view of women has been revealed,
showing up as being the worst enterprise for the empowerment of women.
Thank you for waiting. Your roasted stickleback.
with the sautéed foie grass. Oh, looks good.
Now, excuse me. Great.
I have time and money, but no boyfriend.
nothing else for us to do, but eat.
Good. So good.
A little loud. This is so good though.
Would you like another cup of coffee?
No thank, I'm about to leave.
Wow, well you brother must be pretty important.
Just this store would really be sweet.
Well it does have nice things.
It is a little expensive, so you know.
Is there something that you'd like me buy for you?
Huh, we just barely had a marriage interview ~.
It's fine ! Well this.
Yes, that's been our best seller this season.
Oh really, it is nice.
Hey, what do you think of this?
If you have a 100 customers a day,
that would mean about 3 million in sales, and then all his stores in the country.
You're brother must never stop smiling.
Forget about my brother, what about this?
I think it's fine. You do?
Your brother does have good fashion sense.
Wonderful.
Hey, don't mean to be rude,
Ever since we got here, all you've done is talk about my brother.
If you are so interested in him, why don't you marry my brother?
Oh, well, it's not that at all....
Well, then tell me what it is?
It's just that your bother has accomplished so much.
Huh?
Are you off for the day now?
Get off about 9 today. Let's go eat then...
What?
What ? Wait!
Masami san, Masami san Please wait!
What~ ?
Mitmura san.
Hello.
You didn't show up to my last lecture.
Well because I had to write that manuscript myself.
You say you have to, isn't it necessary.
To do it, I had to get some books from the library.
Please learn it well.
Can you believe all these books look brand new.
Certainly, there's no profit for a company to shorten the time at work and provide childcare,
it is just a burden to them.
But in the long term, there are many benefits to a company,
and it would actually be more profitable?
Well, well, I intended to write as much!
But wouldn't you find that a bit hard?
Huh? Well, just having women be on par with men,
there would be some men losing to women as women become more empowered.
The fact is there are differences between men and women.
Wai...wait a sec,
Please don't say things like that to confuse me.
What? Oh, I think I had gathered all the material I needed for the article.
and now, well, excuse me.
You think you have it all, give it a try.
So this is your office?
Here, please. Thank you very much.
Well, what's going on?
You're on your paid holiday, and you come here?
Well taking so many days off,
I could do this and that I thought,
but when push comes to shove, couldn't make up my mind.
And so, you're workaholic after all?
Aren't I? It kind of shocked me.
Oh, would you like to go see the clubroom for the movie club?
Huh, no, if I were to go there....
Everyone would welcome you!
But it would be bad to see the President.
Don't worry about that.
Right now he's frantic with the article? Article?
He was asked to submit an article, something about the company empowering women,
Oh ! I forgot.
The president had asked me look at it,
anyway, I think he asked if I could write it,
I was supposed to write the article.
Wow. You are always doing everything to cover his butt, aren't you.
I completely forgot that the deadline was coming up.
If I don't get a manuscript to the President...
Oh, don't you think it would be good to hold off just a bit?
Huh? Right now, Mitamura san
is frantically trying to write the article himself.
Huh, really? The theme is empowering women,
it's probably a good chance for him to think a little about that.
You're right.
Excuse me. President, it's time for the collaboration project meeting.
It's already that time? Yes.
Nice!
What are they doing?
It seems they got a lot of applicants for their leading lady.
There are people out there with strange tastes.
There's all kinds at a university.
She's nice. Yea, this outsourcing is a good idea.
Of course, our choices have expanded greatly.
This girl's good. Well, let's start
having auditions right away. Let's do it!
It's somehow really obnoxious. I wonder if Yuri's alright with it.
Please come in. Oh Sensei.
Hello. Sorry to intrude.
You all know her, right. She works at Mitamura san's company.
Oh, yea from the time at the school festival. Oh!
I visited at that time. I'm Saejima.
Saejima san is Mitamura san's secretary.
What's with the "hey"?
Well Mitamura san said, even at the company,
could you guys even be a ball point pen or something?
Huh, the president said something like that to all of you?
Yes. Even though we told him not to,
he did it anyway. I'm sorry.
Saejima san, no need for you to apologize.
He's not really a bad person. You seem like his mother.
Really, he is a wayward son.
Oh please, have a seat. Thank you.
Oh, right. It won't be long until everyone will be job hunting.
Do you have any good advice ?
I don't think I have anything useful.... No, please.
I am envious of all of you.
Huh, why is that?
Well, it's that you all have infinite possibilities.
Becoming an adult, means getting to make a choice
from all of those possibilities.
But with too many possibilities,
what do I want to do, or what would I be good at,
somehow I can't really figure it out.
Even me, I'm not sure I've figured that out yet.
Huh, Saejima san, I thought
you were one that had figured that out early.
Not at all.
The thing I'm worst at, is meeting people.
I think the President hired me because he knew I was that kind of person.
Oh, is that right!
Living life,
we don't know what kind of people we're going to meet.
With that, when we meet others, people that we've never thought about,
little by little, they become people
that are very important to us.
then our lives become connected,
and they become so important to us, but it's also the hardest thing.
I don't really get it.
That kind of feeling~.
I'm sorry. That's not really advice.
No, no, somehow we get the feeling.
Know the feeling, Right.
Oh, Wrong!
After all, that guy wasn't interested in me,
he was just after Oniichan's money.
Well, don't worry about it anymore.
Because there will be a next time.
Will there? There will! Hey, you !
Can't you say something here? Hey, look,
this isn't a good time to go there for me.
You don't care about my future?
That's already over isn't it!? This is a critical point!
He said my life's over.
All that's over is that marriage interview.
Now look, hey.
I'm just asking, could you just go home for today?
Come on, stop....
I know it hurts..
Good morning. Good morning.
The president. Yes, good morning.
Oh, oh, sorry.
I've caught a cold. Are you OK?
Hold on a second, let me check the thermometer.
Oh this is bad!
I shouldn't have looked at this, shouldn't have looked.
Please hurry and get to a hospital.
Yes, but you know,
that article, I haven't yet, the deadline is today.
Can you really write it, in that condition.
I haven't yet written it all, but
but somehow I'll get it.
Hey, cause I'll be doing this today, take care of any other jobs that come up.
Hey president, what if you called Saejima san,
and asked her to help you out?
I couldn't ask her after waiting this long?
Absolutely do not call her.
Oh, understand. Well, then, take care of everything else.
Good, good ! Hang in there.
Ehh~ I am the producer of this movie, "Running Zombies," Kudo Ryosuke.
And this guy is the Director, Maegawa Kenta. Thank you.
Well, could you each introduce yourselves?
Yes, I'm second year in literature, Tashiro Ayaka.
Because I'm interested in movies, I applied.
Thank you for your consideration. Thank you.
Oh, Mitamura caught a cold, and won't be here today.
Huh.
I thought it was strange he wasn't here for auditions.
Yea.
Well then, next person please.
Yes.
Huh!? What do you mean?
A female clerk giving you the cold shoulder
has nothing to do with it being a black enterprise, does it?
What do you mean you quit the job because of that?
Anyhow, I'm just a half-assed man after all.
An idiot, no guts, a big face, short legs, chubby figure!
That's enough.
You want some coffee?
You would do that for me.... Please don't be so kind to me!
I just want to have some. Oh~.
Yes. Oh Saejima san, how are you?
Sorry to bother you when you're so busy. Oh no.
About what you said yesterday, this is the article I wrote.
Could I ask you to give this to the President?
Huh, why me?
If I give it to him, he might not accept it.
If I give it to him, he will likely even be more obstinate,
and wouldn't take it either. Is that right?
Even though you took the trouble to write it while you're off, it didn't do any good.
So it seems.
Understood. I'll take a copy just in case.
Thank you very much.
Well, but whether I give this to him or not,
shouldn't it largely depend on Mitamura san's attitude?
Huh? Whether I pass this article to him or not,
he really needs to reflect on what he's done up till now,
whether he's really committed to empowering women,
if I can verify that, I won't hesitate.
Well, that would be good.
Yes.
Who is it?
What?
Sorry to intrude. Please.
Wow, nice place. What's up, Yuri chan?
I heard that you caught a cold. Huh, that's why you came?
I'll make some rice gruel. Oh thank you.
Hey ~ Yuri chan,
Can I ask you something? Yes.
Have you ever made rice gruel? I haven't.
First I have to cook some rice, right?
Maybe. Yes.
Please go lay down. Oh, yes.
Rice gruel? Does it really take that long ?
Well, it's kind of trial and error.
Oh right.
Who is it now?
What!?
Sorry to intrude. Come in.
Wow, nice place!
Can't anyone say anything else?
Oh. Huh?
Hello.
Did I interrupt something? Yes.
It's not what you think. She just came cause she was worried.
Right? Yes.
Well, Kyoko Senpai, what did you come for?
Why did I come, well I heard from the kids in the club,
I was just worried about you. Huh?
You didn't think of cooking anything did you.
Oh, Yuri chan knows how to cook.
What? It's just, can I ask what you're making?
Rice gruel. Huh?
Right... This much water....
Well, it might be good if we start over...
But I made this following a recipe.
Oh, but let's start over, OK.
Whatever you make, the sooner I eat ~.
Huh? Isn't that alright?
Yes, because the President is writing the article,
we'll definitely have it today. Excuse me.
Will he really be OK?
I can't eat with you looking at me like that !
Oh, by the way, how is your article coming?
Oh, that? Somehow, I seem to be getting it done.
Oh is that right. Well, your frantic studying has paid off, after all.
Oh, right.
I should have you read it first, Kyoko Senpai.
Yes, please let me read it. yea, right.
Oh, Sorry Yuri chan,
it's on that computer, do you think you could print it for me?
Oh, sure.
Yes ! this is good !
Is it this "Empower women" file?
Yes, yes, that. Yes.
Oh !
Huh? What happened? What?
What, what ? What? What is it?
What did I do. What's wrong?
I deleted it.
Huh!?
Sorry, let me look.
You got to be kidding... it's gone.
Seriously, now... I'm so sorry.
Do you know how much trouble that was for me?
I'm so sorry! What can I do?
There's nothing you can do. I'm finished, unbelievable.
Don't you have a rough draft? No.
I am really sorry!
Well... it's not your fault, Yuri chan. Huh?
It's divine punishment. Punishment?
Up until now, I have never been properly grateful
for the hard work of my female employees.
I understand now that I've taken a hard look at it though,
Just like you have said, Kyoko Senpai,
a company that makes proper use of women, of course,
gets great results.
And despite this, I just thought
they were flowers for the workplace, all they needed to do was be cute,
never thought they were more than that.
From now on in Japan,
women must be empowered.
If we make a work environment that is friendly to women,
it will also be a great workplace for men.
From now on, my company too,
will aim to be that type of ideal company.
It was with those thoughts,
that I had written the article, but.
So that's what you had done.
I guess it was just the intention, that I give this some deep reflection~.
God just couldn't forgive me.
It's too bad.
Yuri chan, it's alright. Don't worry about it.
I'll write it again. Right now?
Well the article is still generally in my head.
I have to do it somehow.
If I start now, somehow I'll make the deadline,
there's just enough time, probably. But with your cold,
isn't it impossible? But if I don't.
Please stop. Huh?
I'm so sorry. Huh, what's going on?
Well actually, Saejima san
gave me the article that she had written for you,
is what I'm saying.
Huh?
What are you talking about?
This is that article.
This....
Saejima kun did this?
Great ~ !
Thank you, thank you.
Really truly, thank you.
Good.
Well, I'll give Saejima san a call, and let her know.
Thank you. Yuri chan, aren't you coming too?
Oh, I'll tidy up a bit, then go.
Oh, Bye.
Thank you so much today.
Well ~!
Yuri chan, thanks to you.
I wonder if it was bad to do that to Kyoko Sensei?
"Whether I pass this article to him or not,
he really needs to reflect on what he's done up till now,
whether he's really committed to empowering women,
if I can verify that, I won't hesitate."
"Well, that would be good." "Yes"
Well, well, you really helped. I'm glad you told me.
In general, I can't really write what I don't believe.
I had caught a cold, I was thinking there was no way I could write the article.
After saying that I couldn't write it, I had no idea what I was talking about.
So did I play my part well in your drama?
It was great, wonderful. Hey Yuri chan,
it's still not too late for you to be in Kenta's movie.
Yuri chan, you have talent as an actress.
From now on, I hope you will still be my ally.
Yes.
I think this most recent thing taught him a good lesson.
He really gave it a lot of thought. Is that right?
But it was a little surprising,
to see Mitamura san looking so meek.
That might be the real him, somehow.
Doing the job of president, having to insure the company's existence,
he has to put on many different masks. It might be necessary
for us women to strip him of those masks.
That may be.
Cheers~. Cheers.
Yes, this is good. Yes, it hits the spot.
Even so, there's that woman.
She had the article, but wasn't going to give it to me.
She is the worst.
Mmm?
What?
My imagination?
President, we read your article. To hear that you're going to make
female employees more important, somehow,
we're deeply moved. ! Thank you.
Then, let's all get back to work. Yes.
Excuse us.
Saejima kun.
From now on, I'm still depending on you!
Yes.
What do they mean, they'll be more important? I don't get it, I didn't read it.
Well, you need to read it at least once. Saejima san took the trouble
to write it for you.
Anyway, of course women,
are always moved by kind words.
Well, that is right.
It's the same thing as a flower that wilts for lack of water.
It's easy to change their attitude with just a few words, right.
Anyway, the cost is zero,
zero! Huh?
The cost of giving kind words is zero.
This is how we'll make use of women's talents.
The person in Tres Fields HR was abusive?
Our bad reputation is getting worse. We're a company
that helps students find jobs. Well I've
fallen in love with you. Huh?
If that's how you all feel, then go to hell ~.
As always, what we did, wasn't what you expected.
