Kaoru : Sa...samui...! [Too... cold.] (shivering)

(a van arrives)

Yuuya : (goes out)

Kaoru : (greets him) Ohayou gozaimasu, Iguchi-san. [Good morning, Iguchi-san.]

Yuuya : Oh, it's you again. Ohayou. Where's Matsu-kun?

Kaoru : Talking with the other crew...

Yuuya : It's tough, isn't it. Ganbaru yo.

Kaoru : (nods)

Yuuya : (notices her shivering) You okay? You really seem cold.

Kaoru : Sumimasen... I have low tolerance for cold temperature...

Yuuya : Is that so? (shocked) Jaa... kore. [Here then.] (takes off his jacket and wraps it around her)

Kaoru : I-iya, Iguchi-san...! Don't worry-

Yuuya : It's fine. (smiles) I'm wearing a different outfit for the shoot anyway.

Kaoru : ... (bows) Sorry for the trouble.

Yuuya : It's okay. (suddenly wonder) But I wonder... Matsu-kun said he just lets you check and choose photos for him, right?

Kaoru : (nods)

Yuuya : Why did he have to let you come out here... he could always let you do it in the office. Right?

Kaoru : (thinks)


MG : (goes to them) Yuuya, come. We're starting in a few minutes.You still need to change outfit.


Yuuya : Wakarimashita. (turns to Kaoru) Mata ne. [Later then.](smiles and leaves her)

Kaoru : (remains wondering)


(Kaoru goes to Ukiyo)


Kaoru : Anou... Matsubara.

Ukiyo : (surprised) O? You startled me.

Kaoru : Anou sa...

Ukiyo : What?

Kaoru : ... I was just wondering... *sniff.

Ukiyo : You okay? Did you catch a cold?

Kaoru : Why am I asked to come for today's shoot?

Ukiyo : Eh?

Kaoru : ... not that I'm complaining... I'm just wondering. My job is to look at your shots, right? And pick the ones which I think are best.

Ukiyo : (amused) Sou da na. (chuckles)

Kaoru : Jaa nande? [So, why?]

Ukiyo : Today's different. (gets a camera and gives it to her)

Kaoru : (eyes widened)

Ukiyo : Today is your first day to start shooting.

Kaoru : E... eeehhhh?! (shocked)

Ukiyo : Ganbaru ne.

Kaoru : Cho-chotto... chotto!

Ukiyo : What's wrong? You gotta start at some point. Today's the day.

Kaoru : Why now? Why today? ... you didn't inform me... I-I'm not prepared at all...

Ukiyo : (laughs) Nani iutenda? [What are you saying?] You can do it. I think you'll do a great job.
