The Out of Pocket Prince
The drinking party for Accounting last night saw sparks fly.
Now, another day begins at the office.
I am completely hungover.
I don't even remember how the party ended.
Wait Didn't Retsuko I'm pretty sure Retsuko sang some sort of Luckily, my inebriated co-workers don't seem to clearly remember last night.
The only problem left Good morning.
I'm terribly sorry about last night! Drunkenness is not an excuse for being as rude as I was! I don't remember I drank way too much last night.
RAGE KARAOKE So you managed to retain your reputation as a responsible good girl? -It seems so.
-Well, that's boring.
Oh, please! I much prefer it this way.
By the way, why is Director Gori frozen like that? She's fine, don't worry.
But Let's not open that can of worms! But she has turned into a statue! Did something happen? Heartbreak.
But I still love him! I know I was always using my job as an excuse! I also put up with a lot from him, but I was so forgiving! Maybe that is where I went wrong? Did I make him think I would forgive anything? I should have known that we wouldn't understand each other.
We live in two different worlds, after all! -Are you listening, Retsuko? -Why did you follow me home? I don't want to sleep on my own tonight.
Just go back to your place already! You don't mind, do you? Besides, I've always wanted to check out your room.
-I'm borrowing this T-shirt.
-No! -Is there really nobody you like? -No.
-No nice suitors at work? -Nobody! You don't want to spill the beans.
But it's nice to dream about it.
Right? Your soulmate could be somewhere in this city.
Oh, my Resasuke, this is problematic.
How many times have I told you that we don't accept illegible receipts? I'm sorry.
Let me guess.
You put it in your back pocket and forgot about it? Yes.
-And then you put it through the wash? -Yes.
That's another expense you have to cover yourself.
The Out-of-Pocket Prince.
-The Out-of-Pocket Prince? -The spaced-out guy from Sales.
-He always gets in trouble.
-I don't know him.
Yes, he's not exactly memorable.
Ms.
Retsuko! Hi, Tsunoda.
Thank you for taking me out to dinner the other night.
Hello to you too, Ms.
Fenneko.
I know this is abrupt -Is there someone you like? -Huh? No, there isn't Then would you join our singles mixer? A mixer? No I'm not into that kind of thing.
I know that you want a boyfriend.
You should come.
This is your chance to meet some guys.
Come on, join us! Tsunoda, Retsuko isn't interested.
Cut it out.
-Why? -Mixers are on the way out.
A study in Japan has shown that 75% of men and 65% of women in their 20s and 30s have no partner.
In other words, more and more people are choosing the more economical option of single life! -With that in mind, do you want to join? -What? What do you mean, "With that in mind"? Did you hear what I said? I did, but I didn't understand.
Fenneko said that she's coming, so you should come as well! I never said that! A mixer? Sounds good.
I'm not used to such activities Your soulmate might be there! My soulmate? I don't fall in love that easily.
Retsuko, stop doubting yourself and put yourself out there.
In the right circumstances anyone can fall in love instantly! Why did you give into this mixer thing so easily? I don't know! I underestimated her.
I didn't realize Tsunoda was so good at dragging people into her schemes.
-But don't worry.
I'll protect her.
-What? I'll do my best to protect Retsuko from those bloodthirsty guys.
So you'll go as her bodyguard? Please, Fenneko! You are my only hope.
Leave it to me.
The Out-of-Pocket Prince! He travels on the same train.
I didn't have a clue.
Maybe I should say hi when we get off the train.
Wait, how would that amount to anything? We'd end up quietly walking to work, but not quite together.
Anyway, he doesn't even know me.
What a pain.
I wish I hadn't noticed him.
Wait⦠The office What a weirdo.
There are two escape routes: the main entrance and the emergency exit.
If you get in trouble, the police station is opposite.
-Got it? -Yeah.
Ms.
Fenneko, please, just chill out.
I'm not here to relax, you know! Retsuko, I'll protect you if some freak sets his sights on you.
No freaks are coming tonight.
How can you be so sure? Because all of them are from the Sales department.
-From the office? -That's right.
Didn't I mention it was a company mixer? -Company -Mixer? -Hi, I'm Manumaru! -Hello.
I'm Rinta.
Say hello! The Out-of-Pocket Prince.
-What? -Nothing.
This guy here is Resasuke.
He came to even out the numbers, so don't mind him.
Don't you think that's a mean thing to say? I am Retsuko from Accounting.
-Nice to meet you.
You're cute! -What? You remind me of someone Has anyone ever said you resemble a Sanrio character? On occasion -Who is this, Tsunoda? -Fenneko, from Accounting.
Nice to meet you.
You're cute, too! Mixers aren't that bad after all -Oh, that's easy-peasy! -Seriously? -To put it another way -Where did you hear that? I missed my chance to join the conversation not that I really mind.
I don't want to look bored, though.
What can we talk about? Hi, I saw you on the train yesterday.
Do you always use the Den-en-toshi line? You didn't get off at the station closest to work.
What happened after that? Well You must be joking, buddy.
You're a riot! Did he say something? He is so quiet.
Sorry.
It's a little noisy Huh? ADD FRIEND RESASUKE ADD CONCERNING THE TRAIN I ARRIVED LATE.
SEND Concerning the train, I was daydreaming.
I missed my stop and arrived late.
May I ask you something? Of course.
Why are you drinking coffee in a can? I'm not fond of alcohol.
I understand, but why coffee in a can? -Haida! Hey, Haida! -Don't shout.
I can hear you.
Mixers are a lot more fun than I thought.
I don't give a damn about that! -How is Retsuko? -She's fine.
No need to worry.
She isn't cut out for this scene.
She spent the entire party tapping away at her phone.
I see.
Anyway, Haida, you're a wimp.
Go and ask her out already, you idiot! I'm not cut out for partying.
Neither am I.
Somehow, I feel really relaxed.
There is a certain stillness enveloping us.
COFFEE Huh? I might be getting drunk Hello? Retsuko? -Retsuko! -Retsuko, are you OK? Strange When did I manage to drink so much? RESTROOM Are you OK? Thank you.
