Papa and I had stopped talking to each other for some time.
Papa?
Yet in this one week, our bodies had switched. Koume?
We've managed to overcome all the obstacles that came our way.
But, I broke the promise I made with Papa.
It won't be sold like that.
And it's because of my own stuborn willfulness. ... lower the price...
500 yen.
But, because of that, his subordinates became enthusiastic.
And so I'm confident that what I did was right.
...I'm serious about you!
Or so I thought, before another problem appeared.
What's your intention? The adult world is full of surprises.
Dear, what's your intention?
Do adults lead such difficult lives?
Your phone's ringing.
On the 7th day our bodies were switched.
[Nishino Wakako] On the 7th day our bodies were switched.
Who's calling?
I'm praying hard that I can return to my own body soon!

Thanks to tianj for the timing!
- Episode 5 - [I am Koume!][I want to switch back, it's the 7th day! The stormy confession! The 3-person meeting!]
Who is it?
- Episode 5 - [I am Koume!][I want to switch back, it's the 7th day! The stormy confession! The 3-person meeting!] My subordinate from the company.
- Episode 5 - [I am Koume!][I want to switch back, it's the 7th day! The stormy confession! The 3-person meeting!] Which one?
Nakajima.
Koume, return to your room!
Eh?
Return to your room at once!
Yes.
Papa.
What now?
It's the first time this is happening.
I found this in your suit's pocket.
Is it Nishino-san's?
- Can't be. - You're lying.
Mama is scary!
If I said it belonged to Nishino-san, I'm doomed!
I found it in the office.
I wanted to hand it over to the security office but I forgot.
- Really? - Of course, just give it back.
Ah, I forgot to buy chicken meat.
What are we to do without chicken.
Scary...
Nishino is interested in Papa.
And because I misunderstood it, the relationship has grown deeper.
But how can anyone like Papa, who's just an old man?
A scary woman...
Indeed a capable person.
Maybe it's better to discuss this with Papa...
I can't do it!
He's probably still angry over what happened at the Imperial meeting.
For now I'll just hide the earring.
Ahh, why is a high school girl like me worrying over extra-marital affairs.
Koume, come here.
1,
2,
3.
14,
15,
16,
17,

19 blooms...
- I understand your views. - So you see?
Everyone's all geared up, nothing's impossible.
How can nothing be impossible!
Lower your voice or Mama will hear...
I've warned you so many times!
Listen up, Koume.
For the sake of everyone, a salarymans' job is to do as he's told, no matter how ridiculous it is.
This is the only way to earn money for the family. It's a responsibility.
Do you understand?
How can I understand?
Now I only hope that we return to our own bodies soon.
Even if you say that... we don't know when it'll happen.
Maybe it'll never happen...
Then find a job after you graduate from high school.
- I never said such things. - You did!
Incoming mail, incoming mail.
[I've already decided on a spring bath at Izu. Can't wait to go!]
What's this about spring bath?
Ritsuko-chan invited me along with the rest.
Doubt she'll know that there'll be boys coming along.
If I can't be returned to myself, my life is truly over.
Living on as an old man, until retirement age.
What's this...
Gardening and cultivating bonsai after retirement...
And 10 years later...
Papa didn't live long.
I don't want a life like that!
Hey don't end people's life like this.
The best time of my life being twisted like that.
Nevermind if I become an old lady, but to become an old man. That's gross!
Well, guess it's only right that you're so worried.
Kenta-senpai's last match is coming soon.
And I can't even go and support him.
Calm down. Papa will think of something to let us return to ourselves.
That's impossible!
At this rate, I'll have to start smoking, drink alcohol...
Ask Nakajima-san to bring me to clubs with lots of hostesses.
And I'll use this chance to turn into a horrid old man!
Stop this please!
It's been 7 days since our bodies have switched!
I've reached my limit!
Not only that I can't see Kenta-senpai anymore,
I've got to wreck myself over Papa's work at the company.
Okay, okay, I get it!
Dinner time!
Dinner?
Mama, can I have the soy sauce?
Can't you take it yourself?
- Koume, your sensei called earlier on. - Eh?
Isn't it the last day of your test tomorrow?
Although it's quite sudden, he called for a meeting.
- Did something happen? - No, nothing at all.
- The meeting... I'll go, too. - Eh?
If Koume sees those embarassing test papers, I'll lose my pride as a father.
I won't let that happen.
You don't need to.
Exactly, you don't have to take leave from the company over trivial things.
It's okay, I can leave the work to Nakajima-san and Nishino-san, I just need to make a call.
Crap, Nishino-san is a 'No Good' topic.
How can you leave your beloved company alone.
You don't need to go for the meeting. Right, Koume?
Yep.
Fine.
Something suspicious...
Mama won't come in right.
Don't worry, she's putting on her facial mask in the room. She won't move for 20 minutes.
I'll help you to sort the company's paper work by tomorrow morning.
Understood.
After careful thought, it might be Papa's time to shine as a leader.
There are times where you should persevere despite fighting a losing battle.
The bushido code is fight till death.
But you better not screw up my tests.
I know.
The teacher even called for a meeting, don't tell me, the test results were bad?
How can that be.
This isn't good.
Isn't that Koume's hair band on your head?
Ah, my fringe is getting long, so I borrowed it.
Hair dryer, hair dryer.
You've never used a hair dryer.
Even your face is so clean shaved!
Well, I guess.
Papa has never cared about his image before.
Is this the sign of an extra-marital affair?
I've already said, there's nothing between Nishino-san and me.
Enough of this, I'm sleepy.
Good night.
You're hiding something!
Cold.
Papa.
I've come up with some plans.
Just do accordingly.
Today's meeting with the teacher, I think I'll go.
Nevermind. You shouldn't worry about it.
I'll be able to handle it.
Such insistence... something's definitely not right.
Koume, should I wear this today?
- Not bad. - But, this piece is trendier.
Yeah, I like this one too...
Why do you know such things?
- Did a young lady tell you so? - No way. Nothing of the sort.
Ah, Papa, it's time to leave.
Oh! It's already this late!
- Did you leave anything behind? - Nope.
Papa, what about your newspaper?
You forgot your newspaper!
You don't need it?
It's good to be young. Being all energetic in the morning.
Morning!
Oh, good morning.
Must be tough, practising so early in the morning.
Well, the match is coming soon.
It's your last match right? Do your best.
Sure.
Uhmm, well...
Did you read your mail yesterday?
Eh?
It's about the trip...
Well, I'm still considering about it... so...
- I have to ask my parents before giving you the answer. - Eh?
Pardon me. I'm gonna be late.
Kawahara!
Morning!
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
(Good morning.)
Okay now let's start planning for the new product 'Rainbow Dream'.
So how's the 5 ml mini bottle production plan coming along?
If we want to release this in 2 months' time,
we'll have to come up with a design within 3 days.
- 3 days! - Normally it takes up to 2 weeks to create a design.
I see.
What about sales? Selling them in convenient stores?
Well it's the first time we're taking this route.
As the cosmetics sold in convenient stores are usually of lower quality,
our company never deals with them.
So even if the product is finished, we can't sell them. What's the point?!
If we can't get the support of bigger departmental stores, it'll be the end of it.
I see...
We have to sell something that costs 3000 yen at 500 yen. To put it simply,
We have to sell off 6 times the amount in order to recuperate the losses.
I didn't know...
I seemed to have made some senseless suggestions.
Such wishful thinking...
I know I said some unrealistic words.
But...
I know it's going to be difficult, but let's try doing it!
Teenagers will be willing to spend 500 yen on a mini bottle.
Bring out your confidence!
As for the rest...
I'll be responsible.
So everyone, just do your best, okay.
Leader.
First,
we must open the sales route.
It may be difficult, but let's try contacting some convenient store companies.
Understood, I'll do it.
Nishino-san, you'll be in charge of the design changes.
Try to negotiate with them to make the changes in the shortest time possible.
Understood.
Uchitake-san, you...
Try to fix the budget that's already out of control.
Yes, exactly.
Everyone, thanks for your work.
Leader, what about me?
Shiina-san?
Ah, Kana-chan can look out for us in the office and wait for the good news.
Do your best!
Everyone, work hard!
The things Kawahara said in the Imperial meeting have messed things up.
Since he has already done it, he should be prepared for the worst.
It's fine as long as we're careful not to drive ourselves into a dead end.
It's no use cramming this last minute.
Nope. You'll never know till it's over.
Anyway Koume, have you made a misanga for Kenta-senpai? (Misanga = good luck charm bracelet.)
Misanga?
There's a legend in the soccer club.
If you can wear the misanga made by the girl you like on your last match, you'll definitely win. Right?
He didn't ask me to make one. Besides we aren't that close.
What are you saying!
The misanga is like the symbol of a girlfriend.
You must make it properly.
Do it as a memento for his last match too.
Memento huh.
Ritsuko-chan, what's todays' date?
11th July.
Oh no...
I completely forgot.
Alright, the test is starting!
I couldn't cram it in time.
Ah, gotta go.
I may not be returning to the office. (smile)
This should do.
This is the end of all your tests!
Play hard! And return home with high spirits!
Total failure.
Ahh. I feel great now that tests have ended!
Even looking at 'Alpachi' doesn't irk me that much now.
'Alpachi'... you mean Al Pacino?
- The one in Godfather? - Hah?
I'm talking about sensei.
He sees Kinpachi-sensei as his role model, so everyone calls him "Kinpachi" because of that.
But as it turns out, he didn't fit the name.
So it became "Alpachi".
What a sad nickname.
- Kawahara. - Yes sir.
Don't you escape today.
I get it.
Koume, I'll be leaving first.
Incoming mail, incoming mail.
How was the test? I'll be coming for the meeting.
This is bad.
I must stop her somehow.
Koume doesn't know why the teacher has called for the meeting.
It's better to end the meeting soon.
Leave it to me. Don't worry~
He's even using the emoticons which he's not used to. Does it mean he flopped the tests?
Papa getting retrenched, and the daughter repeating a year...
Mama, come to the school quickly.
The teacher said an emergency came up.
Oh okay.
Mama, run!
- Hurry up. - Okay!
- I'll run. - Are you running?
- I'm running! - You gotta be quick!
- Be quick! - I'm doing my best!
I'm sorry, my mom got the time wrong, so she's coming earlier.
Nevermind, it's not good to keep her waiting too.
Thank you.
- Be careful on your way home. - Yes.
Kabuyama, you've eaten fried noodles today?
It's stuck on your teeth.
Sensei, let's get going.
Why are you in such a rush.
Koume!
Ah, I'm so sorry!
- Sensei. - I'm sorry you have to make this trip here today.
12:40pm...
They must finish in 10 minutes!
Geography, 8 marks.
- Chemistry, zero. - Eh?
And the other subjects, as you can see, all red marks.
Eh?
And her overall ranking...
among 210 students...
she's ranked #210!
The last?
Mama, get a grip.
If Koume sees these kinda grades, I can't even show my face as a father.
Sensei, I'll work harder.
And retake the tests too.
So, we'll be making a move first.
Koume!
Kawahara, you'll have to repeat the year if you continue on like this.
Eh?
Repeat the year?
Ah, Papa!
Are you her father?
It's useless resisting!
Hand them over!
I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out this way.
We won't need the police if you can get away by apologizing.
Now won't you please calm down.
- Alpachi don't you interfere! - What?
Alpachi?
What he meant was that you looked like the movie star Al Pacino in some ways.
- Right? - Yes, that's right.
Oh I see.
- That's all. - Hold it.
Sensei, is there any way she won't have to repeat the year.
It concerns this child's future.
This child?
- I mean, my father's future. - What has it got to do with your father?
If she repeats a year, it'll leave a mark on my life as a father. Right?
Just as he said.
You've got a good relationship with your father.
Say something.
Sensei.
I will do my revision and study hard at home.
And retake the tests.
So please, please, do give me a chance.
Koume.
You're not in a period drama now.
Oh...
You're behaving strangely recently.
Are you in bad company?
Even your attitude has changed.
You were even scratching yourself in public just now.
I'm sorry.
I didn't teach her right.
No, no.
Well, allow me to be blunt.
Is there any problem within the family?
If there is, it tends to affect the child's behavior and school grades.
For example,
parents not getting along... or love affairs.
Love affair?
No way!
Our family is perfect. Right, Papa?
Of course. Right?
This topic is already in a danger zone. Alpachi, stop adding unecessary comments!
In that case, nevermind.
But recently, Koume-san...
seems to have changed into a completely different person.
As if there's another person's personality inside her.
You think too much!
You think I can't tell!?
I, use the eye from my heart to observe students.
Uhm, that...
Has Alpachi detected anything?
Well, for a 16 year old girl, her body and soul changes to that of an adult in an instant.
You'll feel as if you don't even know yourself anymore.
Oh, that's what he meant.
The meaning behind the word 'person'. ('hito' in Kanji)
Is for people to rely on each other.
Kawahara, come to me if you have any problem.
Come into my embrace.
Come on.
Sensei.
- There's something I want to say. - Eh?
What do you want to say, Koume?
Because of the shock she received from that accident...
Her studies were affected. So she's probably suffering by herself.
Well, this is what I think.
Koume, is that so?
Yeah...
I see...
That accident was rather serious.
Though I vaguely detected it...
But I was too caught up in work and couldn't care for my daughter properly.
I'm not fit to be her father.
I'm so useless...
You don't need to hide your sadness and force yourself to smile.
You'll feel better when you let your tears fall.
I couldn't detect your suffering... I'm sorry!
Quick cry!
Alpachi is weak against tears.
Thank you Papa, for showing your concern.
In an era like this, during a 3-person meeting...
I've never seen such a hardworking father crying for his daughter.
No...
This is my responsibility as father.
My daughter is more important than work.
This concerns my future life.
Dear.
For my daughter, no I mean for my father,
I don't want to repeat a year either, Sensei.
Or I'll be hated by Koume for the rest of my life
On account of your plea this time,
If she does her assignments properly, I'll talk to the principal about not repeating the year.
Yay!
Mama is taking such a long time.
She probably went to the toilet.
She's clueless with directions.
Koume.
I'm sorry about it.
Isn't it good now, Papa.
But now you understand that high school life isn't all that easy right.
Please be understanding about my grades.
That's two different things...
Even if we can return to our own body,
Papa must finish up the holiday assignments okay?
Okay.
It's Kenta-senpai.
It's been a while since I saw him playing soccer.
Ritsuko-chan said something about making a misanga.
Koume, you know about that?
Of course.
But in my state now, how can I give him something like that.
And I don't want Papa to be the one giving it to him.
- Thanks for your hard work. - Thanks.
Kenta-senpai is cool.
Kenta-senpai...
Please, accept this.
What's she doing?
Please.
Koume, wait!
Papa's body gets tired after running just a bit.
Sorry.
I want to return to my body.
Koume.
I will give him the misanga.
And give it in my cutest way.
- So... - Nevermind!
I want to give it myself.
But you...
I don't want to bother Papa.
I want to pass him the misanga myself.
Wait for me!
- Don't leave me behind! - Sorry, sorry.
But isn't it good now. You don't have to repeat a year.
That's probably because Papa came.
- Sorry, I've got something to do. - Where are you going?
- Ah, I've got something on, too. - What's going on?
Nothing big.
What's wrong with the two of them?
Did Kenta-senpai accept the misanga from that girl?
Will I be dumped?
What's this?
Ah, Mama.
Why does Papa know about this?
Papa, what are you making?
Is there really something going on between you and Nishino-san?
About that...
Dear!
I can't help it because I'm Koume!
What are you saying?
I'm fed-up with this life!
You're fed-up?
Why...
Well, Mama, I didn't mean I was fed-up with you.
Mama...
You've got it wrong.
Do you remember what day it is today?
Eh? What day?
Mama's birthday?
Wedding annivesary?
Grandpa's funeral anniversary?
The 'Azabu Juban' Festival? (A summer festival held in Tokyo)
Enough...
Mama is crying.
What shoud I do?
Koume.
I have a favor to ask.
Hey, is it a special day with Mama today?
Sorry to trouble you, but this is what the favor is about.
Mama.
Alright, time to prepare dinner.
What are we having tonight?
I didn't shop, so we'll have to make it with whatever is in the fridge.
It's the 20th anniversay right.
The meaning of the strawberry flower is,
to 'toil'.
Are you willing to toil with me, and create a brand new life together?
I had spent a sleepless week thinking of this proposal line.
You remembered?
We made a promise.
To give you a strawberry plant on the day I proposed every year.
I said "okay" back then.
And we'll wait for your bonus day before getting the ring.
And you even messed up the meaning of the strawberry flower.
Because I researched wrongly, so I thought it meant to 'toil'.
Mama has a generous heart.
So it means that Mama really liked Papa that much.
The real meaning of a strawberry flower is...
"Eternal love".
If the meaning was "goodbye",
I probably wouldn't be born.
And there was once, when I was pregnant with Koume,
you couldn't buy the flower because you had to work late.
But you went to the flower shop to wake the florist.
Because I promised to give you one every year.
How foolish.
You're really such a...
Fool.
Sorry, for making you worry.
Are you so gentle because you are hiding something?
You know it, don't you?
I'm not that charming.
It's me who's not that strong.
I'm a mother and more than 40 years old,
I'll be upset if my husband doesn't care about me.
The reason I'm so concerned is because,
I'm confident of the love you have for me.
Keep on believing in me,
because I only love Mama.
Mama must be thinking the same way as Papa.
Papa wouldn't have stray thoughts about young ladies. Right?
Hugging Mama now feels different compared to hugs when I was a kid. Kinda weird.
The master of tactics, Horenbou.
(Also known as) Matsunami Shogoro.
This story, 'Kunitori Monogatari' is simply amazing.
Romantic in a way.
[Nakajima]
It's Nakajima.
Please leave a message.
Thanks for your hard work. Nakajima here.
Regarding our sales route, it's rather troublesome.
If we don't come up with a proper plan, it may all go to waste...
Hello, this is Kawahara Kyouichiro's handphone.
- Eh? - I'm Koume.
Papa is kinda busy now.
But he'll be back in a moment.
Alright, sorry to bother you.
- Well.. - Yes?
Is there any problem in the company?
Problem?
I guess it's not something I should be asking about.
Sorry about that.
- Ah, Koume-chan. - Yes.
Right now, we're working as a team around Koume-chan's father.
In this company, to have a superior who said he'd take responsibility...
Only Koume-chan's father would do that.
To put it simply to a high school girl like Koume-chan...
Right now,
it's the battle of Okehazama!
Your father is leading his men into the base of Yoshimoto who had 25000 men.
Despite being outnumbered, 10 to 1. He's launching his attack just like Oda Nobunaga!
No way. He totally isn't that type of guy.
Well, you see...
Our 'Rainbow Dream' project is like the 'Okehazama battle'. And although we don't know what the outcome will be,
Everyone's trying their best with this energy.
It's the first time I feel happy doing my work.
I think everyone feels the same way.
Everyone wants this project to succeed.
So Koume-chan, don't you worry.
Please, I'm counting on you.
I'm counting on you to look after Papa.
Goodbye.
I'm the only one who hasn't moved.
Everyone else is moving forward.
Sorry, let me stay here for a while. Or else Mama will get suspicious.
What are you standing there for?
Well, nothing really.
You saved the day just now.
Thanks. You were able to reconcile with Mama.
But I can't always do this in your place.
Mama may seem fine, but she actually relies a lot on Papa.
How can we return to our own selves?
Eh?
First, let's do some serious research about the switch.
We visited grandma...
And we took the train together on the 2nd day.
It's because I took the train with Papa that this kinda thing could happen.
Hey, don't put the blame on others.
The other unusual thing would be...
Ah...
We ate the peaches grandma gave.
- It's tasty. - Isn't it?
It can't be related to the peaches.
- Though it was sweet huh. - Yeah it was.
Incoming mail, incoming mail.
It's Kenta-senpai.
I'm now in front of your house.
Can I meet you for a while?
It can't be.
What's with him?
- Papa, go meet him. - Eh?
Papa, wait a minute.
Okay, meet him.
No, wait!
No choice. I'll say Papa asked him to leave.
No, don't!!
- Please do as I say now. - Huh?
Goal!
I'm sorry, I've caught a cold. Do you mind if I communicate through mail from here?
Wave back at him.
Do it cutely.
Come on, smile! Smile!
Show your teeth!
Incoming mail, incoming mail.
Papa, pretend you're writing a mail.
I wanted to tell you this in person.
I didn't accept the misanga from that girl today.
Eh?
What? What did he write?
- You're noisy. Be quiet. - I'm noisy?
Sending it out now.
Ready, sent.
Goal!
Did you come here to tell me that?
It may seem like I'm pestering you. Or not cool...
But I want to receive it from the girl I like.
"the girl I like?"
I will make it while praying for senpai's victory. Please wait a little while.
Can you put more emotion into it?
This is the limit to my act.
What the heck.
Incoming mail, incoming mail.
About the the trip to Izu.
Is Kenta-senpai also going on the trip with Ritsuko?
Let's not go for this trip.
Kawahara is someone I treasure.
Senpai.
Even if it's just one line, I want to talk to senpai.
I want to return to my body.
What's wrong?
Kenta-senpai.
Kenta-senpai!
Wish we could return to our own body.
I want to return soon,
and make the project a success with my own hands.
Wish we could return as soon as possible.
We can't solve the problem of the sales route?
We're only left with 2 months, but everywhere is a 'no good' for sales.
Excuse me...
That convenient store 'Minits Mart' has agreed to sell Rainbow Dream.
How can that be, they declined yesterday.
'Minits Mart' has been bought over by my father's department store.
And yesterday night they gave the 'go ahead' to sell Rainbow Dream.
EHH?
I told him about Leader and the Imperial meeting.
So he said it was rare to see someone with such zest.
And the products that the person produce would surely sell.
Isn't that good, Leader?
Thank you, Shiina-san.
Did I get to help everyone in a way?
Kana-chan is indeed our secret weapon!
This secret weapon rocks~!
You're in a good mood.
Oh no, you're talking like Papa.
Don't be slacking around, go do your assignments.
It wasn't easy that sensei agreed to let you off.
Okay.
Coming!
Koume, go get the door.
Who is it.
Oh? Are you on break?
Mother....
Grandmother!
Why did you come suddenly, mother?
I got some tickets for a concert from the mutual aid society.
It starts in the afternoon, so we're here.
Here you go.
Something for you.
Are these the delicious peaches?
These are the legendary peaches.
Have you remembered which legend it was?
I remembered.
A long, long, very long time ago...
There was a huge peach tree.
Coming!
Koume, go get it.
Kawahara-kun, Sakuragi-san is calling for you.
Coming, coming.
In today's meeting with the board of directors, we've decided on the date for the next Imperial meeting.
Please get Rainbow Dream's new plan ready before that.
Yes.
It's 5 days from now. Next Tuesday.
Eh?
That's fast.
Nishino-san.
What's the matter?
Koume, is the stamp needed?
Madam, I'm sorry to intrude.
Well...
My husband has gone to the office.
I came to talk to you.
Eh? To me?
There's no point in coming here if I can return to my body. [The mystery between the body switching is solved! Has the time arrived for the two to return!?]
If there's someone your husband really cares for, what will you do?
Kawahara.
- So, with this... - Can we finally switch back?
If 10 years later we're still like this,
we'll never return ot our body!
Leave the rest to me.
Your father likes me.
Let's play again soon.
Koume, I can't believe you said such things.
Sorry, I was too blunt.
If it wasn't for this switch, I'd never get to understand Papa.
