Saeko is sleeping in some car. Huh? Wait? What did i miss? Guy wakes her up. It is Souta saying it is about time. Umm, ok. They get out of the car and get to the fence. The view is amazing! Seriously i want to be there! Sun starts rising and Souta shares that he loves sunrise from that spot and wanted to share it with Saeko. She is trilled calling it best birthday present ever. He wishes her happy birthday and they share a kiss... Olivier asks if it is Saekos' birthday returning Souta to reality. And Olivier knows about birthday cause Souta just hugged air wishing it: Saeko-san happy birthday! Olivier admires Soutas' new chocolates saying they look like sunrise. Which prompts Souta to ask if he said that too. He didn't but tells Olivier how wonderful it would be to go with Saeko. And catch a cold cause, in his fantasy, she would bring home made soup. Lol! This time it is Kaeruko to drag him back to real world calling him fool. Watching sunrise in winter would be annoying and girl will spend birthday with her husband. So shut mouth and work! She takes chocolates and walks out. Souta comments on her bad mood and both agree they should work while Kaeruko slaps every door she can.
Saekos' husband will not be home for her birthday though he promised they will go out with friends. He mocks her when she says she has human rights telling that that is why people are putting down housewives, cause they are living in their small world. Um, you are putting her down right now! She points that HE doesn't let her work but he just shush her saying she will do as he says. Wow, Saeko, you had so many guys and married this?! And i am not sure what is wrong with Saekos' mom! When her daughter complains Mom tells her Yoshioka-san(Saekos' husband) is wonderful man cause he is vice-chef-editor-whatever, his mom is dead and his father is living with Yoshiokas' brother. I'm so impressed. Mom thinks that Saeks' only job is to make Yoshioka happy and there is nothing wrong with that. She should work hard for it. Hey, Mom, and who is going to make your daughter happy?!
Kaeruko is working and thinking about her conversation with Sekiya when he asked why she doesn't confess. Souta calls her name and she gets all flustered about proximity. He wants for them all to go drinking cause shop is doing good. She is ok saying she will find place. Saeko comes in so Souta goes to meet her. She is buying unusually lots of chocolate, even for her standards. Souta packs it all and asks if her birthday is on 22.01. She is delighted he remembers and orders cake but wants to celebrate with him. He has huge grin on his face saying they will eat cake together. She doesn't mean just cake. Will he eat her too? Stop! Enter reality! Souta packs it all and before he can ask her anything Saeko says goodbye. But after few steps, she turns asking if he can make birthday cake. He nods like little kid and right away writes recipe. She looks few seconds at him without words but with sadness and says goodbye.
Erena is so happy for Sputa that he will be making cake for his crush but feels that he wants to celebrate with Saeko. He brushes it aside saying it is enough to make her cake though notes that Saeko seemed strange, like she will never come again. Erena points that she has to come for cake so it is not last time. She is so jealous! Souta thinks there is nothing to be envious about, he has to work hard to suppress urge to kiss her when she is there! He wonders what kind of kiss Saeko likes and asks Erena what her preference is. She likes stolen kiss! He laughs but then totally steals one while she is talking! She asks about him and he whispers on her ear. She does that cute tease kiss and they end on bed.
Next day, Souta presents sketch for Saekos' cake. Kaeruko thinks Butterfly is off with season but Souta delivers all story he made: This butterfly liked chocolate so much that it waited every day fr it. Winter came and it died. But because it liked chocolate so much, his spirit couldn't be apart from it. Kaeruko wants something else but cake nr2 has even worse story. Souta knows pain is not really for occasion but thinks that if even this little feelings get trough Saeko, he is fine with it. Kaeruko agrees too, cake is nice and she will like it. Saekos' friend notes how Saeko lately doesn't grumble about her husband. Saeko decided to be pro housewife and extracted from her life anything that will make her waver. When she does feel bad, she has stash of choco to make her feel better. Her friend compliments her on being real housewife. We see that at home when Saeko eats chocolate first reaction is big smile but then her face falls and house feels so empty. Matsuri comes home and Olivier wishes her welcome back. She tries to escape to her room but he wants something to say. He asks her not to think much about what happened between them and wants for them to be as they were. Friends and work colleagues. She is ok with it. Damn, Mizobata Junpei is tall fella!
Erena is on shiatsu with her buddy Ricudou who asks her about guy he saw her with. Maybe Kurashina-san? No, she calls him sex-friend. It is person who is so like her that when they are together all her pain and sadness disappear. Ricudou is at first surprised but as she keeps talking he smiles at her. Her manager calls and she jumps! Next she is sitting with Souta(hee) in restaurant sharing that she is going to be in PV with Kurashina-san. He shares her happiness but has nothing to report in return, Saeko never came after that day. Lights suddenly turn off and waiter brings in a cake. Souta can't help and imagine Saeko blowing candles and him sitting by her side. Erena finally notices his expression. He keeps wondering why can't it be him to celebrate with Saeko. Erena holds his hand and smiles at him making him smile. He will be able to see her and congratulate her in person, that should be enough.
Next day, Kaeruko talks with Olivier about them going out and thinks 22nd would be the best since it is not vise to leave Souta alone. Olivier agrees and Matsuri glances his way. Kaeruko goes to talk with Souta only to overhear him joking with Erena that she can't walk naked in front of Kurashina-san and that they can't sleep with eachother any more. Unfortunately he opens door but she just slaps smile telling him party is on 22nd and goes to make reservations. Only when she turns him back her face betrays her emotions. She thinks how at beginning she never thunk much of Souta, he was useful cute kid. Then he went to Paris and after 6 years returned gentleman. She thinks how her feelings now are nothing unexpected.
Erena has hard time concentrating on what she should do on PV shooting and after gets chewed real bad in front of band. Embarrassed, she runs out. From what i saw Kurashina-san didn't see anything amusing with her being screamed at but we saw just a glimpse of him so maybe it is just my imagination. Erena comes in front of 'choco la vie' just when Kaeruko is putting 'closed' sign, but Kaeruko lets her in. Souta tells her he will finish in no time and they will go to eat. While looking at him working(he is discussing Saekos' cake decorations with Olivier and Kaeruko) she tries one of his 'sunrise' chocolates before leaving. Later, in her apartment, Souta asks why she went. Did shooting went good? How was with Kurashina-san? It was fiasco, she couldn't behave like herself. Souta
understands this, he is always like that but Erena doesn't think it is the same. He uses his feelings to make great chocolates, she can't do that. Her feelings doesn't make her grow. Souta gently pats her head and she says his chocolates are delicious. He tells her about getting inspiration from best place to see sunrise. She wants to see it. Cue to Erena waking up in car just as Saeko did at the beginning. Only that Erena is woke by rays of sun and in alarm wakes Souta up! Sun is already up! They run to the fence and Souta can't believe they missed it. Also it is so cold! Erena laughs that they knew that they missed sunrise and still ran to the fence. Souta doesn't see anything funny at it and wants to go back to the car like some grumpy oyaji. She jokes that they can run back. Lol! He grumbles but she points that weather is nice... He finally lights up and smiles by her side looking at pretty view. He again complains about coldness and she agrees it is cold. She is in the car when he enters after sneezing(same like his dream lol). They drink canned soup and she gets serious saying she will confess. Next time she sees Kurashina-san she will confess. He wishes her good luck with genuine smile. She knows tomorrow is Saekos' birthday and wishes him luck in return. Upon hearing this Olivier notes of them having good time. Souta is incredulous it is called like that when they froze and he almost got sick. But from Oliviers' point of view, they are doing everything couples would do. All things he wants to do with Matsuri. He is jealous. Matsuri and Kaoruko enter. Oliver and Matsuri are back to being friendly with eachother but Souta is seeing situation differently thinking how people are looking happy but are squashed inside. What if Saeko is not happy but trapped princess waiting for Souta to save her. He doesn't think it is like that but doesn't care since tomorrow he can wish her happy birthday in person. He doesn't even dream how close he is for Saeko is sitting till 1am waiting ofr her husband and finally goes to sleep. Later hears her husband yelling her name and goes out to find him drunk. He starts harassing her about turning lights off when he is still not home and when she says it is waste of energy to keep them on, he mocks that she is not one paying them. She finally bursts that she will keep them on then before turning to go to sleep but he grabs her arm to whirl her back. She falls banging her head on furniture! Iiiiiikkkk! At least he has decency to look worried.
Next day, Souta is waiting whole day. It is almost 8 and he is totally disheartened. Someone enters handing recipe and Souta is shocked to see it is for Saekos' cake. Husband came for it. He blabbers on but Souta in his head replays all the things Saeko said about her husband. Guy excuses Saeko saying she couldn't come because of personal matters. With heavy heart, Souta hands cake to husband and before he can go out, Souta stops him to send regards for her birthday. As smile fades, Souta thinks how this must be lesson from God. Reality. He has to keep working.
Souta and Olivier are changing and Olivier tells they should drink till morning. Olivier: Lets' have fun! Souta stays to check his voice mail and first message is from Erena panicking that she came in bar without thinking that Kurashina-san will be there but went anyway. She knows she promissed to confess and is nervous, she will call back. Next message is from 30min after and Erena is crying saying she confessed but... Message ends without explanation and Souta tries calling her without success. He grabs coat ready to leave but bumps on Kaoruko. When she asks what is going on he again poorly chooses his words saying that "he has to go shortly to see Erena". Unfortunately for Kaoruko that sounds like: I have to jump onto something. Igh! It is enough to get her angry and she calls him on skipping his shops' party and he is manager. This is important! She calls him dog in mating season and his girls frivolous bitches. But since he goes with them he is the same idiot as they are. When she finally stops he tells her to talk about him as he likes but she knows nothing about Erena! She praised Kaeruko and Matsuri and is in general amazing girl that finds nice things to say about everyone and everything around. She even makes him feel happy. Saeko is like that ever since high school. Why is Kaeruko bad-mouthing? He hates when women bad-mouth other women. After short silence Kaeruko says she never wanted Souta to like
her as woman and he retorts that he doesn't see her that way. He will explain situation tomorrow. She doesn't want to hear it. He can go and she will think of something to tell to the others. With quiet "i'm sorry" he runs out thinking of time with Erena. Yoshioka is again leaving Saeko and when she pouts that it is her birthday he tells her to call someone. She doesn't want to be seen like that and he calls it exaggeration. She doesn't want to have a scar but he is like: what are you complaining bout, you have a husband. Excuse me?! Who raised you? Some chauvinist?! She says that she cares and he asks for whom she wants to be pretty for? Cut jealous crap por favor!
Kaoruko is still at same place when her phone rings. It is Olivier and she apologizes for still being in shop. He realizes something is wrong, did she have fight with Souta? She denies but as her eyes fill with tears she tells Souta hates her. Her voice breaks as she says she doesn't like herself too. As Kaeruko cries Saeko takes a look at her cake. She takes her phone and contemplates calling Souta before deciding to click on his name. Alas, he is so busy running trough town to go to Erena that he doesn't notice his phone...
Too sad!!! I want me my funny Ricudou and Hot Sekiya and more happy!
Souta-kun, do you know common meaning for butterfly? I wouldn't put it there.
All in all we saw little moving forward except for Erena. It is normal considering that only 7 volumes are written till now and last one was used in episode 4. They tangled everything pretty much and i think now is time to try and resolve stories one by one.
