Dialogue in this work

- Hey Tatsuya, I heard the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
- How about we go see them tomorrow?
- What!?
- It's settled then! Let's go shopping together for supplies.
- Huh... Hanami? With you?
- I'll make some sandwiches.
- Well, I guess that's okay...
- Huh!?
- You used to be all about your hourly rate and would never do this kind of thing.

- Look, Tatsuya, the daphne flowers are still blooming.
- They smell wonderful, don't they...
- Wow!! I can't believe you actually appreciate the scent of flowers!
- Right? They seem to smell even better at night.
- I'm in a good mood. How about we take a longer route home?
- But yeah... they do smell nice.
- No way... you used to take a taxi for even the shortest distances to save time...!
- Freed from the shackles of money and status, his father was emotionally rich.

- Never thought I'd be doing hanami with my dad.
- From the outside, this must totally look like a date, especially with all these couples around...
- This brings back memories...
- I mean, everyone keeps staring at you, Dad.
- You might not remember,
- but we've been to see the cherry blossoms together once before.
- For some reason, this is really embarrassing.
- Huh? Really?

- Yeah... you had just learned to walk without me knowing.
- I told Yoko you were walking,
- and she replied that you'd been walking for a while.
- In the end, I never witnessed any of your milestones...
- I really was a failure of a father.
- I-I mean, it's not like it matters now.
Page 5
- You're right... I'm not trying to make up for anything now.
- If you're feeling uncomfortable, we can head back.
- No, it's not like that.
- Is that so? Then that's good.
- Actually, I've been enjoying this a bit lately...
- Here, have a sandwich.
Page 6
- Hey, don't just eat it directly from your hand.
- We're not a couple, you know.
- Gah!!
- I don't know, I just took it when you offered...
- W-Well, I guess it's fine.
Page 7
- Hehehe...
- Feels like I finally did something I missed out on after 15 years.
- Thanks.
- Hey... Dad.

- The new worker is receiving unexpected support from headquarters.
- Hojo-chan is amazing! It seems we've got extra funding!
- Yeah, the other day I gave the division manager some guidance during the idea retreat.
- This time, it seems they analyzed our store's data properly before making a decision.
- It's both a thank you and an apology.
- Directly from the division manager!?
- Guidance!? Apology!? What kind of relationship is this!?
- Yeah, they said it was fun to look at detailed numbers again.
- What!?
Page 9
- Indeed!
- This way, it doesn't seem overly pretentious!
- Y-Yeah, you're right.
- It's strange that I'm always the one wearing it, but I guess it's fine.
- Why is there always so much effort put into these store-limited campaigns?
- It's got a certain elegance...
- Hojo-chan... Could it be that you actually like this?
- Apparently, everyone was in a good mood that day... and the customer turnout was great too.

- A talent from the agency suddenly fell ill and couldn't come, just when a beautiful woman happened to pass by.
- E-Excuse me! Do you have a moment?
- We're actually filming a show right now...
- Hmm?
- We belong to this kind of agency, it's not anything weird.
- We just want you to have a meal with another talent at that restaurant...
- Agency...? Never heard of it. Is this an interview or something?
- We will compensate you properly.
- Hahaha! What are you going to do with footage of an old man eating?
- Old... man?
Page 11
- No, this is for the father figure, right!?
- What a unique way to decline! "This guy might be a hidden gem."
- No, it's actually mine.
- Hahaha!! That's hilarious! The producer is here today too...! Let me introduce you!
- Yes! We're really not shady at all.
- There's also an actor from this season's drama here, do you know Mejiro Ren?
- Producer?
- Hmm... never heard of them.
- Seriously... this boldness! He's definitely a hidden gem!
Page 12
- Suddenly, Dad found himself filling in for a gourmet show. But what will happen next!?
- These clothes are quite flashy...
- No, they really suit you!
- We'll focus on the surroundings.
- A smile, huh... I'm not sure I can just make one on command.
- Just simple reactions and smiles, please.
- It's okay, we have a lot of veterans here today.
- I see, then I guess that's reassuring.

- Ah, Pinot Noir... The berry-like vibrancy and acidity really balance out the fatty meat.
- The subtle hints of vanilla and mushrooms pair wonderfully with the sauce. Delicious.
- Wow!! This guy's palate is insanely refined!
- Our restaurant's concept is to serve dishes that complement the enjoyment of wine.
- Oh, that's why you have a vintage wine cellar at the entrance.
- Exactly! Actually, we changed today's sauce to match this wine...
- But seriously, what's with the subtle veteran vibe you give off?
- It's almost like a back-and-forth between Dad and the chef...
Page 14
- For the past few days, my dad's been in contact with some guy I don't know.
- Whoa, he's really keeping in touch, huh? Who is this guy?
- Sasaki something-or-other, I don't know his first name.
- Apparently, he's an actor, but he's been really persistent in contacting him.
- I was out shopping before and got roped into helping with a shoot, that's how they met.
- An actor!? Where do you even meet someone like that?
- A sh-shoot!? Is that okay?
- Yeah, I'm not sure if it'll actually air... but isn't it about time?
Page 15
- Whoa!! Isn't that Tabemite Heaven!?
- Oh, you know that show? Yeah, that's him, Sasaki...
- What... Mejiro Ren!?
- Yeah, that was his stage name, I think.
- He's been insistent about going to another place next time.
- No way!?
- You're kidding!?
- Who would have thought my real dad was being courted by a prime-time actor?
Page 16
- Classmates mistakenly thinking I'm dating my dad have been all over the place emotionally.
- Ryushin-san was on TV the other day.
- There's a rumor going around that he's cute, and it's making me anxious...
- Damn it, I want things to progress quickly! If I dawdle, someone might swoop in.
- Wait, did you hear his name?
- Hey, Yuki... there's something I need to tell you.
- Yeah, I only know his last name.
- Ryushin isn't a last name.
- W-what's with the sudden seriousness?
- Actually, you see---
Page 17
- Ryushin-san is your "father"?
- Yeah, I still can't believe it myself...
- So when he says "son," he's talking about me.
- Misunderstandings were all over the place, making things weird.
- ...Alright, then come over to my place today.
- Are you trying to create some kind of established fact with me... that's low.
- Tatsuya.
- That's unsightly...
- ...By the way, I need to go buy some milk.
- What...?
- You're the one being unsightly.
Page 18
- The new part-time worker's attentiveness is remarkable.
- Excuse me, would it be alright if I took some of the hot water from the pot?
- Of course, for the milk.
- You can use this container to cool it.
- Really!?
- Thank you so much (tears), I ran out of what I brought.
Page 19
- I never thought I'd use the knowledge I gained when Tatsuya was born now.
- Back then, I was always on business trips and never had the chance to use it...
- Oh, you have a child?
- Haha, he's already 17 now.
- 17!? Not you, right!?
- I'm 56 years old.
- 56!?
