Kissing the Ring Finger (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Something up?
You seem off your game today.
I've always loved you.
Ever since high school, you've been the only one.
Sorry.
Ayaka?
Sorry!
- Hello.
- Hi.
I'm going home.
I've still got work to do so you go ahead first.
It's your first day back and you're already working too much.
I want to keep going until I've reached a good spot to leave.
Just now
Actually, never mind. Don't work until too late.
[Kento Kamiyama]
[Ayaka Haneda]
[Shizuka Nitta]
May I ask what brings you here today?
I hear that Kamiyama Precisions is in some trouble.
I would love to help finance it.
Why would Nitta Holdings want to have anything to do with my company?
I would like to support you.
I hear that you were a successful researcher over in the US.
Yet you were forced back to Japan due to family reasons.
Such as your father's hospitalization.
Yes.
It would be an absolute waste for someone
of your talents to give up due to debts.
I would like to invest in your future.
While I am privileged to be privy to such an offer,
I find it hard to believe.
This has no benefits to you whatsoever, correct?
There is one thing I would like to ask of you.
You know this woman, don't you?
Yes.
I would like you to split them up.
[Shizuka Nitta]
Hello.
It's going as planned.
I'm home.
Welcome home. Another late night, I see.
Yeah, I had a meeting in Hakone.
Fishcakes?
Yes. I thought it'd be nice to have drink.
Could you join me?
Yes, of course.
You're avoiding me, aren't you?
No, not at all! I've only just gotten back to work,
so there's a lot to--
What about your time with me?
Oh
I forgot all about Negi's food!
[Kissing the Ring Finger: Episode 7]
She's definitely hiding something.
She wouldn't avoid me otherwise.
That's some confidence you have there. When did you guys get so lovey-dovey?
- Quiet, you.
- But is she really hiding something?
Maybe you said something to make her mad again.
No.
She wouldn't act like that.
Does anything come to mind, then?
Maybe
- I forgot something!
- Huh? Wait!
What's wrong? You look so dejected.
- Sorry.
- Your next client is here.
I'll be there right away.
A solo wedding?
Yes. Just some photos would do.
With him.
Um, who exactly is--
That's Guel Jeturk!
- You're familiar with him?
- Of course!
Actually, my wife is also--
Oh, I see!
Please bring a whole variety of shoes!
Lighting and angles can completely change how they look on camera!
I'll help you!
Ms. Miura?
To be honest with you, I was refused by a number of other wedding halls before coming here.
Sorry I just couldn't contain my joy.
I'm also happy to hear that.
- Guel's really cool, isn't he?
- Yes!
So this person wants a wedding photoshoot, huh?
There might be demand for that from here on.
There are some wedding halls who refuse because one of the parties is 2D,
but there weddings are becoming more diverse,
so I believe it would be in our best interests to cater to those needs.
That's a great idea. Put it into action.
Thank you very much.
Ayaka?
We're filming a video tonight, okay?
Understood.
We have a happy announcement to make.
Ayaka, they might get the wrong idea if you word it like that.
Oh, really?
Ta-daaa!
We've reached one million subscribers!
- Yaaay! Thank you very much.
- Thank you very much.
We hope you all keep sticking around.
We're doing something special today.
The two of us will be answering questions sent in by everyone.
Okay, let's start with you.
Do you prefer rice or bread for breakfast?
I'm a rice-person!
What do you do on your days off?
I guess karaoke?
What are your favorite foods?
- Natto and kimchi.
- How long do you take to do your makeup?
- About 20 minutes.
- Do you think secrets should be kept from your spouse?
No
Did you kiss anyone today?
No.
Did something happen between you and your first love?
Cut.
Hey, Togo! Don't go throwing things in while we're filming.
I don't see any problem with it.
Sorry, Hachi.
- Thank you for today.
- Thank you.
We've kept you until late again. Why don't you stay the night?
You two need to kiss and make up.
I'm going home to my Sayo.
Got it.
[Sorry for catching you off guard. It must've really shocked you. Can we meet tomorrow?]
If we consider the groom's character color, then
What do you think about this one?
It's perfect!
Ms. Miura.
How about we match it with this?
Guel's Dilanza feathers?!
You got this for me?
More exciting than a bouquet, right?
Yes! Nothing could be better!
Give us a wonderful smile.
Looking amazing!
The red looks great on camera!
How lovely.
Sorry, may I ask that we stop for a moment?
Ms. Miura.
We have a special guest appearance from Guel!
Ta-daaa!
Thank you!
Oh, right.
You look beautiful.
Man, you look amazing!
[Can we talk? Please message me. I'll be waiting.]
- Yes, great!
Woo! The princess of the Jeturk family!
The red looks amazing on camera.
[Kento Kamiyama]
Ayaka?
Do you have a second?
Yes.
Let's go on a date tomorrow.
Let's go.
I won't ask you anything today, so just enjoy yourself.
- Strawberry and mango shaved ice.
- Wow!
- It's so cold!
- Yeah, it is, huh.
I mean, it's shaved ice, so
Aren't I too high up?
Come a little closer.
A little lower.
Two, one.
Did it work?
Your photos have finished printing.
Oh, it's better than I thought.
What's with your face?
This really takes me back!
What's all of this?
They're 10-yen games!
You really don't know anything, huh.
This is what the commoners play with, right?
Watch. This is how you play them.
Game over.
- Let's play that one!
- Okay!
How do you play this one?
- Do you want me to teach you?
- Yeah!
First, insert 10 yen here. Oh, can you reach?
Then it pops out here,
so you pull this lever.
- That's it! Good job!
- I did it!
You sure did!
What?
Nothing.
That's my wife and I'm proud of her.
What are you talking about?
Thanks, Miss!
Let's play that one over there!
Go on, you try too.
No, I don't have any coins.
- What?
- Huh?
No way. Look, I'll pay so give it a shot.
Go on.
- That was too strong!
- What do you mean?
- See? You messed up from the get-go.
- One more time.
- Number 42.
- Okay.
- This is number 42.
- Thank you.
- Number 23.
- Okay.
[Fortune: Very good luck]
[Very bad luck]
That's a real talent you've got there.
I'll give you my happiness.
No, you'll be punished for it.
Then let's both get punished together.
Okay?
Thanks for today.
I had fun.
I'm glad I invited you.
Since I haven't seen you looking happy and enjoying yourself lately.
I was the one in a panic.
Sorry.
What's wrong?
I should be the one apologizing.
Idiot.
You don't have to because you're still a kid.
No, it's not that.
I'm the one in the wrong here.
I
I was kissed by Kamiyama.
I got startled
and then started acting strangely around you.
I'm really sorry.
But it's not like that.
I'll set things straight with Kamiyama.
So
Please wait for me.
Go on.
And then
Come home to me.
I'll overwrite that kiss of his.
My feelings haven't changed.
I also
liked you in high school.
I wish that whole thing didn't happen back then.
So
But,
that's in the past now.
I don't have the same feelings as you.
It's only Togo for me now.
And
it'll probably be that way forever.
Would I put you in an awkward place
if I insisted on not giving up on you?
What?
Just kidding.
I see.
You must really love him.
Okay.
Then I'll be off now.
It might be presumptuous of me
but can we keep things as they are
and continue being friends?
When I'm with you, it's like I'm back in high school.
I have a lot of fun
because I can be myself.
That's not fair.
I'm sorry.
No.
I got it.
I mean, you don't have a lot of friends, so
I liked you in high school.
Did you hear about the physics teacher, Mr. Ueda? He quit.
- Why?
- Apparently, he tried to withdraw Kamiyama's recommendation.
Because he was good friends with Haneda?
Ew, her and a teacher?
Haneda's just so loved. Poor her.
For real?
[Kamiyama]
Haneda!
This.
It's yours, isn't it?
I got into the college I wanted.
Thanks.
I--
She's late.
I'm back.
That was fast.
I spoke to Kamiyama.
I see.
I told him that I didn't have the same feelings for him
and that you're the only one for me.
Say something.
Welcome home.
It's good to be home.
Hello?
Hey, Ayaka? You've got an invitation to a high school reunion.
Huh? A high school reunion?
Yeah. Why don't you go this time?
[Togoshi High School Reunion]
It's also a retirement party for Ms. Ishii.
Ms. Ishii? I haven't heard that name in ages.
I'll give you the invitation the next time I see you.
No, it's okay. I'm not going. I've got work and all.
I can no longer
continue deceiving Haneda.
Oh?
I see you've really fallen in love with her.
I shall return the money
you have given to me.
So please allow me to withdraw from this deal.
Doesn't this work even better for you?
I said, this works better for you.
Perhaps you should think this through a little more?
[Kamiyama Precisions]
[Tokyo District Court]
[Provisional Seizure Ordered]
[Togoshi High School Class No. 67 Reunion
Invitation to Ms. Ishii's Farewell]
Just so you know
I don't have much experience.
I'm not expecting anything.
Coming in!
This place is huge!
Stop! Don't jump!
What are you doing here?
I ran away from home.
I had a fight with big bro.
But you can't run away from home.
Dad and the others will be worried sick.
I'll take you home now.
I said I'd be staying over.
What?
Whoooa!
Ooh, the shower.
Sweet!
Good night, Togo.
Night.
This bed's so soft.
Right?
- Let's go to sleep.
- Yup.
Bravissimo
Isn't it nice to be able to get a marriage experience through mere photos?
It is.
It requires less time and money than an actual ceremony, so there might be a growing demand for it.
Ms. Haneda!
- Thank you very much!
- Huh?
Well
The president has put me in charge of 2D weddings!
You put a good word in for me, didn't you, Queen?
No, not me.
The president probably appointed you after seeing you hard at work.
I feel like what I've been doing has paid off!
The president's watching us with a keen eye. Isn't that right, Haneda?
- Right.
- The president's watching me?
You're not the only one he's watching!
Time to go home.
- What? I don't wanna leave.
- How much longer are you going to stay?
C'mon.
Thank you for taking care of him.
Be careful now.
- Thank you for having me.
- See ya.
- Bye bye.
- Bye!
Thanks for letting my little brother stay over.
We're finally alone.
Hey, we need to clean up.
What should we do today? Is there anywhere you want to go?
You should go to your high school reunion.
- What?
- You want to go, don't you?
But I already told them I wasn't going.
Are you worried about Kamiyama?
It doesn't happen every day, so you should go.
And spread the word about La Blanche while you're at it.
Are you sure?
I trust you.
I trust you so I'll be waiting.
[Togoshi High School Class No. 67 Reunion
Ms. Ishii's Farewell]
Thank you for taking care of me in high school, Ms. Ishii.
My pleasure.
I'm so glad I got to see everyone today.
Ms. Ishii, Haneda is the King's wife now.
Is that so?
That explains why you look so happy.
Perhaps you're right.
Look at you boasting about your happy romance!
You're actually really easy to talk to, Haneda.
We should've spoken to you more back in high school.
No better time than the present!
Indeed.
Hey, Kamiyama! Over here.
Pleased to see you after so long, Ms. Ishii.
You're Kamiyama from the Physics Club!
We actually work together right now.
Really?
- It must be fate!
- Indeed.
Ms. Ishii, you're glass is empty.
Thank you.
- Here you go.
-Thank you.
Here's one for you too, Haneda.
Thanks.
Okay, let's have a toast.
Cheers!
Man, we talked so much.
Are you okay, Haneda?
It's okay, I'll take her home.
She's in your hands.
Later.
You drank too much.
Because people kept refilling my glass.
Looks like you had fun.
But
I gotta get home. Togo's waiting for me.
Sorry.
Can you get in?
Are you okay?
[Togo]
[Togo]
Where are you headed?
[Are you okay? Reply when you get this. Where are you?]
Togo
Sorry I'm not him.
What's the meaning of this?
I guess we were both drunk, so
What do you mean?
I think you know what I mean.
[Togo]
If you're looking for Haneda, she's with--
Togo?
Ayaka!
Um, where's Togo?
- He's on a business trip.
- What?
He got a message this morning. Looks like it's some kind of job from the head office.
I see.
He said we can release some pre-recorded videos for the time being.
Um
Could you tell him to contact me?
Well, about that. I can't get through to him either.
- What?
- Did something happen?
No.
I see.
I'm heading out for a bit.
Nice!
Now try to pose like Shingen Takeda.
Got it.
Great!
Okay, next
[Today: I want to talk to you in person. Where are you? Please contact me.]
[Togo]
Business trip my butt!
You know me too well. Impressive that you found me.
You always escape to here whenever something happens.
It's a holiday home so it needs to be aired out every now and then.
During work hours?
By the company's president?
What happened between you and Ayaka?
Nothing.
Oh, really?
Hello, Ayaka? If you're after Togo, he's--
I wasn't on the phone with her.
Smartass.
What happened?
I've come all this way,
so I'm not leaving until you 'fess up.
You're still here?
Manager Sasaki! Wasn't yesterday's client just so wonderful?
You're not going home?
It's not like there's anyone to go home to.
How about we grab dinner together?
- What?
- Let's go.
Phew, I'm stuffed.
Just go home already.
I'm staying over.
What about work?
I should be asking you that!
Hello, Sayo? Sorry, today--
No way.
You're alone now, right? Get to somewhere safe, now.
It's okay. I'm with you. I'll be home right away.
What do I do, Togo?
Did something happen?
It's a cockroach! I have to go and have Sayo, right away!
Are you for real? That's all it was? Give me a break!
"That's all it was"?! Sayo's terrified!
You're a pair of grown adults.
I don't care what you think.
Sayo's important to me.
I want to protect her.
Togo, please drive me.
It's completely my fault.
Then you should just apologize right away.
I want to
but he won't answer my calls and he's ignoring my texts.
He's completely avoiding me and won't even give me a chance to apologize.
Oh? I'm sure it'll be fine.
It's important to give him time to cool down.
Another order of short rib, please!
Got it! Thank you very much.
It'll be okay.
He's always thinking about you.
Well, he's always asking me about you in a roundabout way every time I'm in his office.
He really cares for you.
Come on, eat!
He'll be back in no time.
Ms. Sasaki.
I want to apologize to him right away.
I'm going to go see him.
Sorry.
Excuse me!
Can I get another three long skirt steaks and--
Then let's both get punished together.
I'll overwrite that kiss of his.
That's my wife and I'm proud of her.
I trust you.
Togo!
I'm sorry.
I
I drank too much at the reunion party.
And I found myself at a hotel when I woke up.
Kamiyama
was there too.
But it's not what you think.
Drunk or not,
I definitely wouldn't do that.
I know I have no right to ask you to do this,
but I want you to believe me.
I'm truly sorry.
I'm the one wrong here.
For doubting you even though I said I trusted you.
Even Hachi made fun of me.
That's not true.
So I won't doubt you anymore.
If you say that nothing happened,
then I believe you.
We're a married couple, right?
I finally got to overwrite it.
Yes.
I know not of that person!
Is it good?
We have nothing to talk about.
Please leave.
I'll talk to him.
Just leave him be.
I'll talk to him. You sit down.
But it's my problem.
It's our problem.
- Kamiyama. I'll come down now so wait there.
- Is this something we should talk about outside?
I believe it would be an issue for you.
I don't mind, though.
Sorry for dropping by in the morning.
I just had to come talk to you.
I don't think we have anything to talk about.
My wife says that nothing happened and I believe her.
Nothing?
I remember everything, though.
No matter how drunk someone may be, they wouldn't sleep with someone if they didn't want to.
Haneda appeared to be enjoying herself.
Did you know
that Haneda
has a mole on her inner thigh?
Togo?
There's no way you can forget sleeping with someone.
Wait!
I think Kamiyama is right.
If that really happened, then I would definitely remember it.
He's definitely lying.
Kamiyama, I know something is up.
That's why you're lying, right?
Something?
I'm not lying.
You were the one who suggested that we go to a hotel.
No.
I know for a fact
that you didn't do anything.
Ayaka?
Because
I trust you.
You trust him?
That's worse than sleeping together.
Togo?
Let go of me.
Please leave.
Sorry.
- But--
- Please.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Chairman, Mr. Sakuraba of La Blanche's Hakone branch is waiting for you.
I see. Got it.
The word 'trust'
was more important to Togo than anything else.
They had finally become a real married couple
and had found true love in each other,
yet my sister stepped on Togo's brewing land mind.
The name is Arata Sakuraba.
With my transfer to headquarters cemented, it's been decided I step down as president of La Blanche.
We want you to go build your own family.
But please, spare the people around me.
You know nothing, nothing at all.
You're the only one for me, always.
Togo.
