With You and the Rain (雨と君と)

Why did I offer you an umbrella?

How did that look in your eyes?

Was it a coincidence that we met on a rainy day?

Why did you offer me an umbrella?

How did that look in your eyes?

Is it true you're writing a novel?

With You and the Rain

Episode 9 A Secret

Seems like it was just a passing shower.

Did you get wet?

Nope. Thanks to you.

So what kind of novel—

It might rain again, so you'd better go get an umbrella if you're staying out.

Are you trying to avoid the subject?

No, it's not like that.

Did you hear it from your mom?

Oh, darn.

So it's true! Mom's always joking around, so I wasn't sure.

That's wonderful! And awesome! I admire you so much!

I thought you didn't have a job since you're always out walking.

I see.

What kind of novel are you working on?

Uh, well...

My friends are waiting for me right now.

Oh, really? Sorry.

Don't worry about it.

And will you please keep it a secret that I'm a writer?

Yes, of course. You can trust me.

Writers are really sensitive, right? I understand completely.

So your wallet wasn't the only thing you forgot?

Oh, you're adorable! Are you Kii-chan?

How'd you know that?

I knew it! You're her neighbor, right?

We're all going for tea. Wanna join us?

Is that okay?

Hi Mutti.

Um, so... Um...

I'm going for some tea, um, with our neighbor's, uh, friends?

Ah, I'm sorry for the sudden change of plans. This is your neighbor, Fuji.

You're all going for tea, huh? I wanna come, too. I'm so jealous!

Yes. Feel free to join us when you finish work, Emma-san.

Okay! Oh, I'm so excited!

Does Kii-chan have any allergies or anything she can't eat?

Nah, it's all good.

Got it. Thanks so much.

Woohoo!

Yay!

Thanks for calling your mom.

Of course. Thank you.

Kii-chan, you're just like Emma-san.

What? I don't think we're alike at all.

Welcome.

I like the atmosphere in here.

We'd like to sit outside.

Sure.

We're three adults and one child.

They've got a big pizza oven.

By the way, what were you two talking about at the park earlier?

Hey, Mimi. They do lasagna here. Isn't that your favorite?

Huh? What's up?

She's writing a novel... I wanna know what it's about...

She's so curious, she's acting strange.

You should just tell her.

Why? Why won't she tell me?

She's mad. How cute.

Adults always have their secrets.

Are her novels pretty good?

Oh, she swapped targets to us. Clever.

The first one you had published was about a boy and a girl, right?

Was it a love story?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Your book got published, right?

Congrats.

Thanks.

This is a surprise.

Well, good. I'm glad.

What do you mean?

The publisher asked me to write it. Of course it'd get published.

I'm glad you finished it without wrecking your health or running into any trouble.

Hey, they've got cream soda.

Oh, I see. Sorry. Thanks.

Is that the book? Lemme see.

No way.

Why not?

That's how it went.

So you don't know.

Sorry.

Plus, that story wasn't relevant at all.

Oh, really?

Well, I thought it was relevant.

You should tell her about how we went to a bar after that, and you got really drunk.

Now that's not relevant.

Do you know anything?

When there are feelings on the inside, their colors appear on the outside.

The deeper the love, the tougher it is to part. But...

After the rain stops, there are good times ahead.

I'm not exactly sure, but it sounds like a love story?

Law Office

Yes, hello?

What's happened?

Ren.

Sorry I know you're busy.

It's all good. What's up?

You see, I was wondering if you could refer me to a good accountant if you know someone.

Oh, I see. Of course.

It's not like there's a lot of money involved.

Um, and this is...

the new book that's coming out.

Wow! It's been a year or so, right?

It's embarrassing when people who know me read it.

You don't have to force yourself to show it to me, you know.

I'm not forcing—

However...

I'm definitely curious about your collection of love poems!

It's not just because you're embarrassed that you don't want to show it, right?

I saw the cover of the book that time...

But I forgot!

Fine. I'll just ask this little one.

That might actually be your best bet.

They do live together, after all.

It doesn't know anything.

Why won't you tell me?

Am I too young for it?

No, not at all.

Another passing shower?

If it hadn't rained, we may not have met.

Me and my books are two separate things, so it's okay that it's a secret for now.

If you read lots of books, you'll encounter them eventually.

I won't know that.

We met.

You and I met, right?

We didn't meet.

But that's because we're neighbors.

We wanted to meet.

That's true, but...

We met.

They have similar faces, so I end up mistaking them,

but I wonder if encounters are coincidences.

If it's truly necessary, you'll encounter them.

It's a strange thing, I know.

If they're not coincidences, why did you choose me?

Plus, Kii-chan...

What is it?

I write love and romance stories, too, so it's kind of embarrassing.

What?

Really? Well, I guess that's understandable.

Look at you, being all pretentious.

You think? I think it's lovely.

I don't want any dummies who don't understand romance reading them.

Hey now. You can't choose your customers.

I'll be careful not to become a dummy.

That's right. Don't turn out like Mimi.

Me?

We met. We didn't meet. We wanted to meet.

Was it a coincidence that we met on a rainy day?

They have similar faces, so I end up mistaking them.

"I wasn't able to meet..." "Yeah." "I cannot save myself with something I made." "What you can do. What you can't do. What you need." "They might be disappointing to you, but they're all different." "But that might be a blessing for everyone except you." The sound of the rain still surrounds the two as they grow weaker.

I printed it out to read it.

Don't play with the stuff on my desk.

It's all messed up now.

Oh well.

I had a feeling it wasn't that great.

That was close!

Be positive!

Be positive!

Be positive!
