00:00I am Naoto Morino, a 24-year-old office worker who enjoys fishing and cooking.
00:08Hey, pal! That cat seems to really like you.
00:12Oh, well, I actually rescued this little one not too long ago.
00:17Is that so? Great job!
00:20Huh? What's with this obviously Japanese mafia-looking guy?
00:25I mean, it's not like people like that can't go fishing.
00:29And why is he sitting next to me? There are plenty of other empty spots around here.
00:35Hey, pal!
00:37I like how you rescued that cat. How about taking my daughter?
00:43Uh, sure.
00:45What? What do you mean?
00:48My daughter is turning 34 this year, but she's still single and hasn't seen the shadow of a man.
00:55As a father, I have various concerns, so please try meeting her for a bit.
01:01Of course, I'm not asking you to take over the family business or anything.
01:06If I refuse this, I'll probably be handed a one-way ticket to Tokyo Bay!
01:11W-w-w-well, alright! I'd be happy to meet her!
01:16Good! Then I'll send you the details later, so please give me your contact information.
01:23And so, for some reason, I ended up having a blind date with the Japanese mafia's daughter.
01:30I didn't expect her to be this beautiful. I believe her name is Ai Okada.
01:36She doesn't look 10 years older at all.
01:39My father mentioned that you're a fishing buddy? Did he perhaps push this blind date on you forcefully?
01:46W-well, that's exactly what happened, but what's the right thing to say here?
01:52I'm truly sorry.
01:55Hey, please, look up!
01:58My father is not a bad person.
02:01I've been working relentlessly until this age and never had time for romance.
02:06Just when he started worrying that I might remain single, he said he found a good guy among his fishing buddies.
02:13I never expected him to bring a match so soon!
02:17Don't worry about it.
02:19I had actually planned to decline this match from the beginning.
02:23I'm 10 years older and right now I want to focus on my career rather than romance.
02:28I see.
02:30Of course, I will cover the expenses for this meeting. It's an apology for the inconvenience.
02:36No, that's not necessary. I told you earlier, I don't mind.
02:42How about this?
02:44Instead of the payment for this occasion, would you be interested in getting something to eat some other day?
02:50Even if I planned to decline, my father would quickly bring someone else.
02:54It would turn into a never-ending cycle.
02:57So, if it's not too much trouble, would you mind accompanying me a little longer?
03:04She's making an effort. Since she went this far, I'll accept it gracefully.
03:10Well then, if you're okay with it, I'll take you up on your offer.
03:14Great. I'll contact you at a later time.
03:17Ai is such a kind and composed person.
03:21A few days later, we had plans to go out and we came to a restaurant recommended by Ai.
03:28What? They're temporarily closed?
03:32What should we do?
03:34Please wait for a moment, okay? I'll check for other restaurants in the area.
03:39You don't have to worry about it.
03:41I remember. Weren't we planning to visit the Koiwa Art Museum after eating today?
03:47There's a famous cafe inside the museum and...
03:51How about having a light meal there before exploring the museum?
03:55The tickets are right here.
03:57Huh?
03:58What's wrong?
04:00Um... I can't find the tickets. I'm sure I put them in the ticket holder yesterday.
04:07Oh, it's okay. Everyone has moments like this.
04:11But still...
04:14I'm serious. There's no need to worry.
04:17Aren't you annoyed with me? I keep making mistakes like this.
04:23I told you earlier, didn't I? Everyone makes mistakes. So don't worry about it.
04:29Naoto...
04:30Well, we still have plenty of time. So how about we go to my recommended restaurant today?
04:36Let's have some delicious food and lift our spirits!
04:40Delicious!
04:42The ramen here is the best, you know?
04:45I'm really sorry about today.
04:47Don't feel down about it.
04:49I tend to be more forgetful than others.
04:53Even when I'm careful, I make mistakes frequently, which causes delay in my work.
04:59I've been so focused on trying to make up for it that I ended up here.
05:03And I didn't have time for things like romance.
05:07In that case, why don't you take it easy from now on?
05:10And I find your forgetfulness cute, to be honest.
05:14C-cute?
05:16It's not a flaw. It's a charm.
05:19Thank you.
05:21Um, next time, let's go to my recommended place and also visit the art museum together.
05:28Definitely.
05:30After this day, my interaction with Ai continued.
05:33At first, it was out of a sense of obligation due to her request, but that only lasted for the first few meetings.
05:40As we spent more time together, I found myself wanting to be with Ai more.
05:45One day, Ai showed interest in fishing, so we decided to go together.
05:50Fishing is more fun when you take it easy.
05:53Taking it easy, huh? Sounds nice.
05:56If we catch fish, we can take them to that diner over there, and they'll prepare it for us.
06:01I see.
06:03If we can have fresh fish, I guess we didn't need to bring lunch, did we?
06:07Huh? Did you...
06:10I made it for us.
06:12I'd love to eat it!
06:14But...
06:15Let me eat it, please!
06:17Thank you.
06:18Well, let's have it for lunch then.
06:21I'm really happy about this homemade bento.
06:24A few hours later...
06:26Wow, it looks delicious!
06:28Wait, what happened to your finger?
06:30Oh! I was practicing filleting fish, you see.
06:35I thought I might get closer to you if I could fillet the fish we catch.
06:39I also tried studying fishing equipment and fish, but...
06:43Nothing seemed to go well.
06:45Did you put in so much effort to become close to me?
06:49In the end, it's all half-baked.
06:52I'm really happy about your efforts, Ai.
06:54You're such a kind and wonderful person.
06:57No, I'm not.
06:59You're the kind and wonderful one, Naoto.
07:02Haha, that's not true.
07:05Being kind is just for my own sake.
07:08Huh?
07:09Wouldn't you feel terrible if you saw someone hurt or in trouble and just looked the other way?
07:14I don't want to feel that way, so I take action.
07:18Even so, I was happy when you were kind to me.
07:21Your kindness saves people's hearts.
07:25I'm sure many other people than me have been saved by your kindness.
07:29Is that so? Thank you.
07:36Haha, that was quite a loud stomach growl.
07:39Let's pretend that didn't happen.
07:42Haha, you're right.
07:45Now, shall we eat?
07:47Yes!
07:49On the way back that day...
07:51I'm sorry for making you drive me home.
07:54It's not safe to go back alone this late at night.
07:57Haha, you really are kind, Naoto.
08:01It's just normal.
08:03Being able to be kind in a normal way is amazing, you know?
08:07You should have more confidence in yourself.
08:10Ai!
08:12Are you okay?
08:14Maybe...
08:16I should work on not tripping over my own two feet.
08:20I'll be there to support you if I'm nearby.
08:23Then...
08:24Will you stay by my side forever?
08:27Huh?
08:28Th-that...
08:30Hey, it sounds like the boss' daughter.
08:33Miss, are you back?
08:35Tonight's dinner is your favorite, mackerel miso stew.
08:39Oh, everyone, I'm home!
08:41Huh?
08:43You!
08:44What the heck are you doing to the miss?
08:46Your face is messed up, man!
08:49You planning to kiss her or something, huh?
08:52You better not be doing anything nasty to her.
08:55Aaaaaah!
08:57Hey, what's going on here?
09:00Boss, it's just that guy.
09:02He's with her.
09:03You're ruining the good atmosphere.
09:06I'm sorry about my little scamps here.
09:09N-no, don't worry about it.
09:12Well, please take care of my daughter from now on.
09:16With proper decorum.
09:18Uh...
09:20Dad, everyone, don't cause trouble for Naoto.
09:24Naoto, thank you for today.
09:27I'll text you again.
09:28Come on, everyone, let's go inside the house.
09:32It's a lively household.
09:35Since then, I seemed to develop an interest in fishing,
09:38and on our days off, we started fishing together.
09:42At first, I faced difficulties and felt discouraged.
09:46But gradually, she improved and became completely engrossed in fishing.
09:51I found myself increasingly drawn to her cheerful smile
09:55and the pure joy she expressed.
09:58One day...
09:59Oh, your hat today looks lovely.
10:02My father got this for me.
10:04He said that if I'm going fishing, I should take sun protection seriously.
10:08It suits you very well.
10:11Thank you.
10:15No, your hat!
10:17Got it!
10:18Naoto!
10:19Whoa!
10:23Ouch!
10:24Naoto, are you okay?
10:27I'll be fine.
10:28The hat is fine, too.
10:30But you're soaking wet!
10:33Ai?
10:36She's so close!
10:38I'm sorry.
10:40I tripped over nothing again.
10:42Are you okay?
10:44No injuries, but...
10:49We'll catch a cold if we stay like this.
10:51How about coming to my place?
10:53It's nearby.
10:54Let's warm up before you get too cold.
10:58Thank you, Naoto.
11:01One hour later...
11:03Unintentionally, I ended up inviting Ai to my house.
11:07Having someone you like in your house,
11:09it's making my heart race.
11:11I want to know more about Ai.
11:13I want to get closer to her.
11:15Yeah, I understand.
11:18Huh? Ai is on the phone?
11:21I want...
11:23marry...
11:25her dad's...
11:26I...
11:29and...
11:30Is it over?
11:32Aren't you feeling cold, Ai?
11:34I'll be fine.
11:35I took a bath first.
11:37I brought a change of clothes just in case,
11:39but I only borrowed your jacket.
11:41I'm sorry.
11:42No problem at all.
11:45Today, I've been helped by you again.
11:48Don't worry about it.
11:50I should show my gratitude properly to you.
11:53Gratitude?
11:55Wait a minute, Ai!
11:57Well...
11:58I'm sorry for being old.
12:00You don't like this, do you?
12:02But if I don't do this...
12:04What are you planning?
12:06I just want to do something that will make you happy.
12:09So...
12:11Can you bear with me for a bit?
12:13Could she mean something like...
12:16No, no.
12:17That's not acceptable.
12:18Ah!
12:19That phone!
12:20She must have been doing this because her father is pressuring her into marriage.
12:26No, Ai!
12:27I can't do this with you!
12:29So it's true.
12:31I'm not suitable.
12:33I understand.
12:35Being touched by an old lady like me.
12:38No, it's not about age.
12:41I'm sorry.
12:43I shouldn't have forced this on you.
12:46I'll be heading home now.
12:48I'm really sorry for what I did.
12:50Ai...
12:52From that day on, distance grew between me and Ai.
12:56Ai had always said she wanted to prioritize her work.
12:59So this distance is appropriate.
13:01It's the right distance.
13:03I tried to convince myself of that and gave up on the idea of getting closer to her.
13:08Focusing on fishing instead.
13:10Empty.
13:12Everything feels so empty.
13:14Actually, even fishing is filled with memories of Ai.
13:18No matter where I go, I'm reminded of Ai.
13:21I can't take it.
13:22I'm about to cry.
13:24If it's this painful, it's okay to be honest.
13:27To convey my feelings properly.
13:29My love is something that can't be surpassed by anyone.
13:33Hey, didn't my daughter work out for you?
13:37Ai's father!
13:39Don't mind me.
13:40So, my daughter wasn't good enough for you, huh?
13:44That's not it.
13:46Ai was actually considering marrying, thinking about your feelings.
13:50But she told me she wants to focus on her work more than love right now.
13:54So I...
13:56I love Ai, but I wanted to respect her feelings.
14:00But in the end, I realized I was just running away.
14:04So I want to convey my feelings now.
14:07I see.
14:09I apologize for hurting Ai once, but I won't hurt her again.
14:14Please let me see Ai.
14:16I'm begging you.
14:19Hmm...
14:20Maybe it's impossible after all.
14:23No, even so, I won't give up.
14:26I told you, it's okay.
14:29Huh? What do you mean by okay?
14:33Um...
14:34Ai? Why are you here?
14:37I was feeling down for a few days now.
14:40I've been coming to the fishing spot to meet you.
14:44I see.
14:45Your determination really got through to me.
14:48To begin with, I didn't choose you just because you saved a cat.
14:52Huh?
14:53You saved that child from almost getting hit by a car a few months ago.
14:58How did you...
15:00That child is one of ours, you know?
15:03They joyfully told us about you.
15:06That cat was just an extra, an extra.
15:09I see.
15:12Well then, the rest is up to you two to discuss.
15:16Um...
15:18About earlier...
15:20Was it true?
15:22That you love me?
15:25It's true.
15:26But you mentioned on the phone that your father was pressuring you into marriage.
15:30So I thought, if you didn't have feelings in that direction...
15:34Naoto!
15:36You've misunderstood!
15:38Huh?
15:39Misunderstood?
15:41What I wanted to do was...
15:43Give you a massage.
15:45A massage?
15:47Yes, a massage!
15:49What?
15:51What on earth was I misunderstanding?
15:54Also, here's what I said on the phone.
15:57I understand your wish for me to get married, Dad.
16:00But my happiness is something I'll decide, so I hope you'll wait for me.
16:04I see.
16:06I wish for your happiness so you won't regret it.
16:09Okay, Dad.
16:10That's the correct answer.
16:12Misunderstanding.
16:14It was a misunderstanding.
16:17I see.
16:18So that's what it was.
16:20In that case, let me say it again.
16:22I-I love you.
16:24I really love you.
16:26Even though I'm older...
16:28Is that okay?
16:30Age doesn't matter at all.
16:32In fact, it's nice that you're older.
16:34And the age gap is wonderful.
16:37That makes me happy.
16:40I love you too, Naoto.
16:42I really love you.
16:44Who's kind, straightforward, and warm.
16:47I...
16:49Naoto...
16:50Whoa, hold on!
16:52I haven't given my approval for that yet!
16:56Jeez, you went this far the moment I took my eyes off you.
17:01Make sure to follow the proper steps.
17:04And that's how Ai and I started dating safely.
17:08From then on, the two of us continued our relationship smoothly.
17:12From now on, please always be with me.
17:16Yes, I'll always be with you.
17:18Forever by your side.
17:20Whoa, miss!
17:22You've been noisy!
17:25Our happy life together continued after marriage, and time passed.
17:30Oops!
17:32Are you okay, Ai?
17:33I'm sorry.
17:35I tripped in a place with nothing.
17:38It's okay.
17:39I'll always be here to support you.
17:43Then, let's make a deal for the next life too, okay?
17:49Of course, Ai.
18:03Thank you!
