00:00My name is Naoto Ikeda, 23 years old, and I'm a first-year office worker.
00:06I'll work hard to become a full-fledged professional!
00:11I hate to interrupt your enthusiasm, but can I have a moment?
00:15Y-yes, what is it?
00:18The documents you submitted yesterday have several mistakes.
00:21Here, here, and here. And also here.
00:24Huh? That many?
00:27This person is Reina Sasaki, 10 years older than me, and she holds a typical senior employee position.
00:33Her stern personality gives the impression that work is her significant other, causing annoyance among colleagues.
00:40I've mentioned this to you before, haven't I? When will you remember?
00:45I-I'm sorry, it's quite challenging.
00:49Ugh, you can't even handle this. Are you an adult in appearance, but a child in intelligence?
00:55If that's the case, I'll have to rethink my approach to mentoring you.
01:00N-no, please don't compare me to some famous detective!
01:04Then prove yourself with results! I won't tolerate another mistake!
01:09Y-yes, I understand.
01:12Ugh, I find that she can be a bit of a handful.
01:16Although I'm scolded every day, my current workplace isn't all bad.
01:20That's because there's an event I'm looking forward to soon. And that event is...
01:25Yes, the one-night, two-day company trip.
01:29Hey, where are we going next?
01:32I'm starting to get hungry.
01:34Um, sorry, but can I go off on my own for a bit?
01:38Huh? What's up?
01:40Well, there's something I want to check out.
01:43Then we can go together!
01:45No, no, I think it might be boring for you two, so I'll catch you guys later!
01:50See you later!
01:51Hey, wait a minute!
01:53What's with that speed? Was he always that fast?
01:56Wait for me! I'm going to meet them right now! Woohoo!
02:01What I really want to see...
02:03It's the local mascot character known as Otomon.
02:07A plump, cute figure with a charming face.
02:10It's quite popular as a cute character in some circles.
02:13I, too, secretly have a soft spot for cute things.
02:17I've been looking forward to meeting Otomon ever since the destination for the company trip was decided.
02:23Was it too obvious earlier?
02:25But if they find out I like cute things, they might make fun of me.
02:29Huh? Is that...
02:33What's she doing?
02:35Come to think of it, she's been alone even during this trip.
02:38What a waste. It's a trip after all.
02:41I know! Um, hello?
02:44Oh, hi. What do you need?
02:47If you don't mind, would you like to tour together?
02:50Don't involve me!
02:52Geez, I tried to be considerate, and she reacts like this!
02:56Well, stay calm. Leaving now would be awkward.
03:00Well, don't say it like that. I'm going to meet Otomon now.
03:05What?
03:06Do you know Otomon? It's a popular local character around here.
03:11Could it be? Do you like it, too?
03:14Uh, so you also like Otomon?
03:17Yeah! I love it!
03:20Uh...
03:22Huh? Was she kinda like this character?
03:26According to the story, it turns out she also has a soft spot for cute things.
03:31Afterwards, we took commemorative photos with Otomon,
03:34and even went on a shopping spree for limited edition items at the fan shop.
03:39Wow! So much stuff!
03:42I'm glad you're here. I didn't know there was a store like that.
03:48At first, it was awkward.
03:50But as we gradually talked about our favorite things, the distance between us closed.
03:56Before we knew it, we had become quite friendly.
03:59Yeah! Otomon is the best!
04:04Yeah! Well said!
04:06However, at some point, the memories became fussy.
04:11Several hours later.
04:13Uh... Huh? Is this... my room?
04:17Did I fall asleep without realizing it?
04:20Wait, Reina!
04:29What have I done to end up sleeping in the same room after getting drunk like this?
04:37She's... cute! Was she always this beautiful?
04:42Wait, what am I doing? If someone sees us like this, it'll be a disaster.
04:47Wake up! Please wake up! Reina!
04:51Huh? Nato?
04:54Um, are you feeling okay? If you're alright, you should go to your own room.
05:01You have a cute face, but you're surprisingly assertive.
05:06Huh? What do you mean?
05:09You invited this old lady, so take responsibility.
05:13R-responsibility?
05:16Let's talk more about Otomon!
05:22Wait! Calm down!
05:24Yeah! Otomon!
05:28Is she still drunk?
05:31A few minutes later.
05:33I'm sorry. I must have caused you trouble.
05:36Oh, no. I'm glad you're back to your usual self.
05:40The earlier situation was a bit intense.
05:43You're right. I guess the cute switch got turned on.
05:48What? That's an amazing switch!
05:51But, well, I was surprised.
05:54You look incredibly beautiful without glasses.
05:59Wait, what am I saying? That's so rude!
06:03Oh, of course, you look lovely with glasses on, too.
06:07Huh?
06:08Oh, no. Did I just dig myself into a hole? This is so awkward.
06:13Well then, I'll go back to my room. Good night.
06:17Um, yes. Good night.
06:20Ugh, I got myself into a tough situation. How am I supposed to face her tomorrow?
06:26However, the next day, her demeanor remained unchanged.
06:31Uh...
06:34Uh, maybe I overthought it?
06:37Well, it was just something that happened during the trip, and things will probably go back to normal tomorrow.
06:43But little did I know...
06:47After a while from the company trip, there was a noticeable change in Reina's attitude.
06:52Uh...
06:54Oh, hey! How many times do you need them printed out?
07:00Am I being ignored? Isn't it a bit harsh? I might cry, you know?
07:06Another day.
07:08Huh? You spilled tea!
07:10It's okay. It's delicious.
07:13You haven't even had a sip! You haven't drunk anything at all!
07:16As you can see, she seems to be completely absent-minded.
07:21Um, Reina, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?
07:25Huh? I'm fine. Perfectly normal. All green.
07:29But your ears are really red.
07:31Uh, this is different. I got caught in the door of the meeting room earlier.
07:36If that's the case, we should go to the hospital right away!
07:41A few days later, during lunch break.
07:43Realizing that the current situation was not good, I decided to talk to her.
07:48I apologized for the other day!
07:50What's the matter? It's too late for that now.
07:53Well, lately, you seem a bit off.
07:55And I thought maybe what happened the other day is still bothering you.
08:00Uh... you're worried about me.
08:03I'm sorry, but this is my problem.
08:06What do you mean?
08:07Well... it's a very personal matter.
08:12Surprisingly, it turns out that she comes from a prestigious and ancient family.
08:17As a result, she was raised as a sheltered daughter and had never had a friend since childhood.
08:23This has made socializing quite challenging for her, even now that she's a working adult.
08:28It's quite absurd, isn't it?
08:30Always acting proud, yet I'm such a useless adult.
08:34No, not at all.
08:36I really care a lot about my cute little underlings.
08:40But because of that, I can get a bit too passionate when it comes to giving advice.
08:44It's just that teaching you the job is all I can really do.
08:49I see.
08:50Wait, but does this story have anything to do with the current situation?
08:55Well... I always thought you must hate me because I'm always scolding you.
09:01But during the trip, you were so kind to me.
09:04And I got carried away.
09:07Oh, I see.
09:09In moments like these, I don't know what to do.
09:12I've never had friends for so long.
09:15It's funny, right?
09:17So that's the situation.
09:19In that case, would you like to be friends with me?
09:23Huh?
09:24Well, I know it might be presumptuous for someone like me to suggest being friends.
09:30If we become friends, maybe the mistakes like the ones recently would decrease.
09:36Oh no, is she disgusted with me?
09:39I want to be friends.
09:42I want to be friends with you.
09:44Then from now on, we're friends.
09:48Yay!
09:49Let's get along well, okay?
09:51She's so cute.
09:53And so we entered this strange relationship of being both boss and subordinate and friends.
10:01However, because she had never had friends before, there were some peculiarities.
10:06Naoto, can you sign this?
10:09What's this?
10:10Um, let's see.
10:12We'll call each other by our first names, contact each other three times a day, meet up once a week,
10:18and neither of us can end the friendship without the other's consent?
10:22It's a friendship pledge.
10:24I worked hard on it.
10:25No, no, something like this is meaningless.
10:28Isn't friendship more natural?
10:30But I'm worried.
10:32If we don't have something formal, it might fall apart.
10:35Reina?
10:37I see.
10:38She doesn't understand what friendship is.
10:41Um, is it okay if we skip the signature?
10:44Uh, sure.
10:46Is that okay?
10:48Just make sure to keep a copy, okay?
10:51Oh, don't worry.
10:52I prepared it thoroughly.
10:54Thank you.
10:56Since then, we exchanged messages frequently in the morning, during lunch break, and before bed.
11:01You reply so quickly!
11:04Is she looking forward to my messages?
11:06It's kind of nice.
11:09On days off, I was often invited to Reina's house.
11:12Huh?
11:13No glasses today.
11:15Well, you said I look prettier without them.
11:19Oh, you remembered.
11:21I only show this face to friends.
11:23Without glasses, it's embarrassing.
11:26She's still cute.
11:28I got a bit excited since you were coming.
11:30Now enjoy to your heart's content.
11:33Wow, it looks delicious.
11:35You're good at cooking, aren't you?
11:37I haven't lived this long for nothing.
11:39This is natural.
11:40Leave it to me.
11:42Oh, wow!
11:44A few minutes later, enjoying the delicious dishes.
11:47Now tell.
11:48You have something on your cheek.
11:50Huh? Where?
11:52No, not there.
11:54Then here?
11:55Wait, don't move, okay?
11:57Let me clean you up.
12:00There.
12:01All done.
12:02Huh?
12:03What's wrong?
12:04Your face is red.
12:06It's nothing.
12:07A beautiful woman who is older than me is quite nice.
12:11On another day, we played games together in my room.
12:15I've always dreamed of something like this since I was little.
12:18Oh, really? That's interesting.
12:21She's so close.
12:23Something soft is touching me.
12:27It's surprisingly difficult.
12:30Like this and that.
12:32Hey, calm down.
12:34We're just friends.
12:36We're friends, remember?
12:38On yet another day,
12:40we went to a fan shop for Otomon that opened in the neighborhood.
12:44Is it weird for an old lady like me to like cute things?
12:48It must be strange, right?
12:50No, not at all.
12:52What's wrong with liking what you like?
12:54Huh?
12:55Besides, it's weirder on my end.
12:57I mean, I'm a guy.
12:59Oh, I think it's perfectly fine for guys to like cute things.
13:04And gender.
13:07Probably age, too, doesn't matter, right?
13:10Work, too. It's like that.
13:13Naoto, you're working so hard. It's surely the same thing.
13:16Even though you get scolded a lot, you're working so diligently.
13:20And I've always thought that's amazing.
13:22I see. She's been watching me closely.
13:26As time passed and we became friends,
13:28about a month later, a small incident occurred at work.
13:32Hmm. To accidentally order ten times more than needed.
13:36What should we do about this?
13:38I sincerely apologize.
13:40The losses will come out of my salary.
13:43No, there's no need for that.
13:45It's partly our fault for leaving it all to you without checking.
13:49Even she can make such a mistake.
13:52I'm amazed. She's always so strict with us.
13:58Um, are you okay?
14:00Everyone makes mistakes. Don't worry too much about it.
14:03No, it's my fault.
14:05I got too carried away just because I made a friend.
14:08Making a silly mistake.
14:10I should be setting an example for everyone,
14:12but making such a basic mistake.
14:15It's not a big deal.
14:17I'm sorry. Let's end our friendship contract.
14:22Huh?
14:24Thank you for everything until now.
14:27I'll get back to work.
14:29Wait, please!
14:31After that, I was completely avoided.
14:34We could talk about work-related matters, but that was all.
14:37Um, Reina, how about next time we go...
14:41This is the workplace, right?
14:44Uh...
14:45Since that incident, Reina had built even higher walls around her.
14:49Now, she's even more out of place at work.
14:54I'm Reina's friend, right?
14:56There must be something I can do as a friend.
14:59No, there has to be.
15:01With that in mind, I desperately worked to dispel my colleague's misunderstandings.
15:06I wanted to be of some use, even if only a little.
15:09She's just easily misunderstood, but she cares a lot about her staff.
15:13Being strict with everyone is just her overflowing with love.
15:17I misunderstood her.
15:19I might have done something bad.
15:22And, you know, she can be surprisingly cute.
15:25R-Really?
15:28Several days later, thanks to those efforts,
15:31I somehow managed to dispel the misunderstandings about Reina.
15:34You were supporting our work, and we didn't even realize.
15:38Thank you.
15:39No, it's just what a superior should do.
15:42Really sorry.
15:44Um, would you like to go to lunch?
15:47I'd like to talk more.
15:49Well, sure.
15:52It seems to have worked out well.
15:55After finishing work that day.
15:57Um, what do you want to talk about?
16:00Thank you.
16:01It's all thanks to you that I've become so close with everyone.
16:04You're welcome.
16:05I'm glad if it made you happy.
16:07But why did you go this far?
16:10We're not friends anymore.
16:12The contract.
16:13It hasn't been invalidated yet.
16:15Dissolution requires mutual consent, right?
16:18Look, it's written here.
16:20I don't recall giving my consent.
16:22Oh, that's right.
16:24So we're still...
16:26But I...
16:27I'm thinking of consenting to the dissolution.
16:30What?
16:31You're mad because I suggested we end our friendship.
16:35No, it's not like that.
16:37Then why? I'm still...
16:39I don't want to stay just as friends.
16:41Will you be my girlfriend?
16:44Huh?
16:45Is it okay?
16:46Even though I'm an old lady,
16:48and I'm ten years older than you.
16:51I don't mind.
16:52I want you, Reina.
16:54I see.
16:56I'm happy.
16:58It feels like a dream.
17:01To have someone more important than a friend.
17:04It's not a dream.
17:05I'm right here.
17:07Yeah.
17:08I also like you now, Tell.
17:10Actually,
17:11I've been interested in you for a long time.
17:14I really like you too, Reina.
17:17After that, we started dating.
17:20By the way,
17:21following my advice,
17:22Reina stopped wearing glasses at work.
17:24As a result,
17:25her relationship with her juniors seemed to become even closer.
17:29Reina,
17:30do you really like Ultraman?
17:33Well, um...
17:35I didn't expect you to like cute things too.
17:39Uh, it's not a big deal.
17:42I want Ultraman goods too.
17:44Shall we go buy them together sometime?
17:46Hey, that's not fair.
17:48I want to go too.
17:49Hey, no fighting.
17:51Let's all go together.
17:53Yay, let's do that.
17:55Yay, let's do it.
17:57Uh, it feels like she's being taken away from me.
18:01I feel a bit lonely.
18:03Don't worry.
18:05Now, Tell, you're special to me.
18:08Uh, surely from now on,
18:11I won't be able to take my eyes off her.
18:14After all, I have a weakness for cute things.
18:19Hi, it's me, Mel.
18:22Thanks for watching my channel.
18:25I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos too.
