Consumption No abnormalities

Let's go home early I'm hungry

When you've sealed away the painful feelings you can't tell anyone>

In loneliness with no escape>

When you feel like you can't even hold hands with someone>

I'm sure you would think

that I am alone

But is it really so? ＞

(cell phone call)

Yes ☎ (Kawahara) Oh Long time no see How are you?

ah

☎Sugi Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?

What? Suddenly ☎ I have a little consultation

consult? ☎ Let's meet and talk

☎ is it inconvenient? Do you have any other plans?

No, not really

(Kawahara) Cedar!

I'm sorry, I got a phone call when I was about to leave

here

(Satomi) Thank you very much.

Hello, can we have two people?

(Satomi) Welcome! here please

Good no, this store is always crowded

(Incense) Welcome Hello

Here, please

It's rare to see you with your companion.

This guy is my classmate at university.

hello i see you often

What's up?

no…

please sit down yes

What would you like to have?

(Kawahara) Eh~ I'm salmon, mentaiko, and rice.

Thank you.

Ah, then rice balls...

(Kawahara) No, no, I know rice balls.

Are you asking what to do with the contents?

The menu is also on the wall

Then... Umeboshi and Sujiko

How about miso soup? please

Yes, please wait a moment.

No, it's my area around here.

I found this shop when I was going around construction shops on business.

Hot miso soup with freshly made rice balls

There is no better dinner than this!

I come here like every day

I never get tired of eating rice balls

Japanese soul food

Uchiha Thank you, but is it okay?

don't eat dinner at home

What, from my wife's meal

Kaoru-san's rice balls taste much more like home.

Hahahaha...

(Satomi) Thank you very much.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting

Oh, here comes salmon, mentaiko, and bonito flakes

thank you

Yes, please Umeboshi and Sujiko

thx

(Satomi) welcome welcome

It's good (Kawahara) It's good, isn't it?

Miso soup is hot so be careful

hello welcome

Mr. Matsumoto! It's empty here, the last seat

Thank you... I missed my lunch and I'm hungry

(Kawahara) Hello, thank you

home

The two of you, regulars, often meet

Come to think of it, do you have a consultation? yes

The design office that uses our building materials is looking for an architect.

If I knew someone who would be ready to fight

You asked me to introduce you

Because the main business is custom-built homes and the salary is not bad.

You can think that I'm suitable for you

No, don't say that, think about it

It's a shame that I have an architect's license

Even if you used to work at a house maker, you can make use of it there.

I don't plan on doing design anymore

(Kawahara) I've been saying that since I was a student.

Dreaming of designing your own house

Hello~

oh sorry we are full now

yeah~ sorry

Excuse me. Would you like me to take you home?

Hmm... No, I'll wait a minute

I'm hungry and can't wait to get home

Yes Yes Yes

It has become quite noticeable

yes thank you i'm fine

There's a vacancy here, so please come on...

I'm going home. Please pay the bill.

I'm sorry, are you in a hurry?

no it's okay

thank you very much

Excuse me

Thank you for the meal

Please come again I'll be waiting

(dog barks)

I'm home

I thought you were a surprised sister

Ha... you're stupid

Elder Sister…

good moon

Thank you for your hard work today

thank you huh...

It comes to my waist

Things that have been standing since the preparation in the morning

There must have been an endless stream of customers today as well.

We sold more than 500 pieces, including takeout

No wonder it looks like it's going to burst into flames if I keep holding it

are you OK? I'm fine I'm fine

It's prosperous, right? If you complain, you'll be punished

Well, can I have some tea? Ah, I'll do it.

I have to sit down and serve once in a while

It's thanks to Satomi-chan that it's prospering like this.

what? suddenly creepy

It's been three years since you came to my house.

(Satomi) So it's been three years already?

At that time, there were few customers, and every month it was hard to be in the red.

There was no such thing as not being able to enter because the seats were full.

One of the few regular customers at that time was Satomi.

No way, I was scouted by Kaoru-san

I never thought I'd end up working here

I couldn't have made it this far by myself

thank you so much

stop it, it's me

Left alone after my parents died

After long nursing care

I had no dreams of the future

I was wondering if it was going to die like this...

It's completely different now, isn't it?

yes

I'm busy, but it's rewarding

I feel like my life has finally begun

Oh, by the way, the customer who came with Mr. Kawahara today.

Ah, a college classmate?

I was staring at Kaoru-san, right?

Maybe I fell in love at first sight

No way! Such a young person to such an old lady?

What are you talking about ahaha...

It can't be that way

But do you mind if I come again?

Because you looked lonely for some reason

I want you to eat our rice balls and cheer yourself up.

yes

(Satomi) Huh...

that?

(chime)

Excuse me, I'm a water meter reader.

Are you away...

I can't help it...

(Security buzzer)

(Kiyohara) Thief!

(Kiyohara) What are you doing! ?

thank you for your hard work

(Harada) Mr. Sugi, is it okay? yes

I got a complaint call from a customer in Ushigome-cho.

Oh... you moved the bike on your own?

I had no choice because it was placed on the meter

Don't do that kind of thing properly and get permission before doing it

I called out, but there was no reply

Before you make excuses

did you apologize first?

Because it's getting hot on the other side

Don't say four or five, first I have to apologize

I'm not just yelling at you on the phone!

sorry

(Harada) Ah, and

Please clean up the re-investigation of the unsuccessful meter reading

yes

(Maehara) Mr. Sugi, you did it.

Don't worry about it, Director, you're in a bad mood

It seems that I got a call from the head office.

Does it seem that there are many errors in meter reading at our office?

If commissioned by the waterworks bureau

I was squeezed out of responsibility

Subcontracting is hard

Wait, we're from that subcontractor

It's used for about 80 yen per case.

Do what you have to do

You don't have to worry about getting ahead in life

It's easy, it's easy. Thank you for your hard work

Hey, let's go out for a drink once in a while to relieve my worries

I'll go home first

(Fumiko) I love the rice balls here. I come here often.

Is it that delicious? Even though it's just a rice ball?

You'll know when you eat it (eldest son) Huh?

Excuse me, are you in line?

No... ah, is that okay? go in

please

(Tanabe) Huh? you during this time...

what happened? Are you full? no

If so, don't hesitate to enter, enter, see

yes yes

welcome

oh how about you the other day

Welcome (Tanabe) It's early today

Part-time job early shift

Please call me as usual

here you are

(Tanabe) What are you doing? sit down yes

You were a friend of Kawahara's.

I'm Tanabe, I'm Sugi

Sugi-san, what should we have today?

Kaoru-san, that sounds like a sushi restaurant.

It's true (Tanabe Kaoru) Hahaha...

Everything looks delicious and I can't decide

yeah decided

I'm sorry, my order has been decided (Satomi)

Mr. Sugi, what are you doing?

Then... please also add grilled cod roe and miso soup.

Yes, thank you

Gochisosama (eldest son) Gochisosama deshita

It was delicious (eldest son) It was delicious, sister

It was a feast that filled my stomach already

(Kataoka) Good evening (Satomi) Ah, welcome.

Good evening I'm free (Yamazaki) I'm glad...

Extra egg yolk Thank you

Matsumoto-san, are you a voice actor?

No~ Eggs are still a good place

hahaha...haha

I'm taking auditions while going to the training school.

What kind of auditions do you do?

The script that was handed to me

Reading the narration manuscript

(cough cough)

(In a narration style) Speaking of the standard Japanese food, rice balls

It has a long history, from the ruins of the Yayoi period.

There is also a story that a rice ball was excavated

Nice voice, as expected of a voice actor

No, you can't do it like this

After all, the competition is fierce

(Tanabe) It's an unprecedented boom in voice actors.

It is also in great demand for TV variety shows and events.

There are only a handful of people who go that far.

hahaha... good hahaha...

Even if I knew your voice in the past

I didn't even recognize your face, haha

Our time is music after all

A young man's dream was to be a musician heh heh

Tanabe-san, you were in a band too, right? (Tanabe) Oh, just play the guitar

Well, half of it is the ulterior motive of wanting to be popular with girls

Huhuhuhuhuhu...

Are you popular? the real thing

I can't go according to those speculations

The current wife is the one who had no choice but to take action.

again that kind of thing...

Aren't you really a loving wife?

(Tanabe) Well, we haven't parted until this year.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

How nice

Get married, raise children, and work for a big company until retirement

I'm comfortable now

No, I was detained by the company

But don't you hate working hard forever?

I have to celebrate my life for a little while

(Matsumoto) That's right Fufufufu

Sugi-kun, what are you doing for work? What happened to architecture the other day...

no that's...

Do you read water meters?

How do you check your water usage?

Every household has a water meter

I go around to check the numbers on the meter once every two months.

House by house? it's hard

Aren't there troublesome residents?

Sometimes I don't pay

the problem is the dog

It's fine if it just barks, but some people bite

scared! It's not hard if you get bitten

That's why I carry around a dog amulet.

Dog amulet? dog food

Sprinkle dog food far away

While the dog is engrossed in eating, the meter reading is completed.

ah I see

Don't call it a dog talisman hahaha...

haha i laughed

eh? Phew

(Matsumoto) I also want a charm dog food?

No, you're the real one.

I have the final selection for the audition on the weekend.

Isn't it amazing to have a pretty big role in a distribution anime?

You made it through to the final round, right?

I'm pretty confident this time

The teacher at the training school also told me, "This is good."

If I don't get results soon, my parents in the countryside will be annoyed

Where is the countryside? Fukui

You don't know anything about that industry, do you?

It looks like you're playing around

Good evening (Kaoru Satomi) welcome

I'm Ohara, who asked you to call me earlier.

Ah, it's done Yes (Yoko) Ah, good

I have twins who eat a lot.

(Satomi) Oh my God

Yes, the bill will be 1800 yen.

yes this is exactly ah thank you

yes thank you thank you

I will come again Thank you very much (Satomi)

haha yes welcome good evening

that? It's full... I'm here

It took 50 minutes to come, but there's no need to stay long

thank you for your account

I'm sorry (Tanabe) I'm sorry

Ah sorry, it will be 650 yen.

Thank you

Mr. Matsumoto is also 650 yen yes exactly

thank you

Sugi-san, it's just 500 yen today.

thank you

I hope you have 100 times more luck, please come again

ah…

(alarm)

that?

(chime)

Excuse me. I'm a water meter reader.

What?

The amount of usage has almost doubled from the previous month.

Did you use a lot of water or something?

no it's normal

then it might be a leak

fault? Maybe...

Didn't we meet at the rice ball shop?

Ah Tachibana

Oh that time...

Wow~ What a surprise! It's a coincidence

I've turned off all the faucets in my house

It looks like a leak

This red one is spinning, right?

yes

This is what it means to use water.

But I saw under the sink, the bath, and the toilet

It doesn't look like it's leaking water

It could be the water pipe under the floor.

Under the floor?

Ah what should I do...

I'm going to get wet, so the explanation is over there

contact the water department

Please introduce me to a specialist

You may be eligible for a reduced fee for water leakage.

Haa~ I'm going to hate it

I don't have a husband...

oh yes there are

I am currently working alone

I should be back before the scheduled date.

Is it coming soon? baby

at the end of next month

I'm not here when it's important, so my people

I'm really unreliable anymore

I'm sorry, such a story

No, then...

Do you go to the rice ball shop?

yeah sometimes

Nice~ I was on my way home from work

I haven't been there at all since I started maternity leave.

Ahhh, now I want to eat hot, freshly made rice balls

I understand

Please say hello when you go to the store

After maternity leave, I will go to eat again

I'll tell you. Please take care of yourself.

yes

Thank you. Take care of your feet.

it's raining again

I don't feel refreshed all day today

The audition was disappointing, wasn't it?

I'm always like this

You say you can't cross the last wall

This time I can see that I'm confident

It's embarrassing don't worry about that

(Tanabe) That's right, this isn't the end

You still have a chance Matsumoto-kun, you're young

Even if you're young, you're already over 30

My parents tell me to go back to work

It's about time for me too

What are you talking about? Don't give up so easily

easy? No, of course

Every world has competition

There are times when we lose

But when you lose, you have to rouse yourself

If you withdraw easily, you won't get a dream

Good luck in your next audition!

What do you mean by easy?

eh? I've been working hard for eight years

That's why I'm saying that this is the place to hold on

It's over if you give up

don't say you know

Hey... don't poke me like that

People encourage you to do it

(Satomi) Welcome

I should have brought my umbrella because it rained on me

Good evening

What's up?

A little bit

what do you know

Even though I don't know much about the work of a voice actor

I'm giving advice as a senior in life

Listen to me frankly, sir?

Mr. Tanabe says that he should take it easy.

Actually, the place of re-employment is

You just couldn't find it, right?

Eh... I eat here every night.

It's because you get in the way at home, right?

a little bit…

Don't be rude Hey!

Don't take it out on people just because you failed!

Both of you, calm down... don't touch me!

are you OK? Are you hurt?

Even though you want to run away

Eh... Mr. Kawahara said

you're a bad person

Parents died in the earthquake

I came here with my sister

I even lost that sister

So I got desperate

Did you quit the company you worked for?

I feel sorry for you

In short, it's a story about running away from reality!

oi! Mr. Matsumoto!

I…

Excuse me

What is he doing

It was perfect

sit down

what are you going to do today

I'm going home

Ah umbrella...

Good evening, can 3 people come in?

unusually hungry

Senpai, the rice balls here are delicious.

(Koizumi) Huh~

I wonder if he will come today...

Who? Mr. Matsumoto?

Mr. Sugi too

Since then, both of us have been at a glance

yes

(Tanabe) Good morning

What's wrong? so early

It seems that Matsumoto-kun is going back to the countryside.

eh? (Tanabe) Because he won't come for a long time

I'm crazy

I took a peek at the convenience store where I work part-time

Then say "I quit"

You mean a voice actor training school?

That cost a lot of money

It seemed like I couldn't do it anymore with a part-time job

But why all of a sudden?

It seems that the audition the other day was the last match

If it didn't work, I decided to go back to my parents' house

"There's still a chance" or "Don't give up on your dreams"

I said too much already

Home is...

If I'm not mistaken, you said Fukui.

When are you coming home?

That's the story of the convenience store guy

You say, "I just came to say hello"

"I'm going back to the countryside by bus from now on"

A5 Huh Huh...

Oh... Mr. Matsumoto!

oh good

It was in time

Kaoru-san, why?

Mr. Tanabe heard from a person at his part-time job

This rice ball

eat on the bus

because it's too urgent

I can only do this

It's not silly to go silently

sorry i...

I wanted to go to the store

before leaving Tokyo

I wanted to eat one more rice ball from Tachibana.

Because you said such a terrible thing

Without a face to match...

I've been waiting for you, will you come

Satomi-chan and Tanabe-san

(Bus driver) Departing for Fukui soon.

Please hurry if you are boarding

Well then

Take care of yourself

Thank you for the rice ball

Please come and eat again someday

I'm waiting

yes

Um... can you tell Mr. Tanabe and Mr. Sugi?

I apologized

Because I said the worst

I may not be able to forgive you anymore

All right

I'll tell you Matsumoto-san's feelings properly

Mr. Matsumoto!

Fight!

Fight

(chime)

UU…

yes oh...

(cough)

(chime)

uh... ah...

who?

Elder Sister? Hello

Ah Kaori-san, I'm sorry for being so sudden

I came to deliver rice balls

If you were out, I was going to leave you and go home, but

what happened? Are you sick?

No... let me catch a cold

Did you have a cold the other day in the rain?

Oh no... my face is red

You seem to have a fever. Did you take medicine? What about rice?

Ah yes, shall we make rice porridge?

I can do it right now

Can I use the kitchen for a while?

Ah, no way…

Umeboshi onigiri was just right

I'll borrow this pot

Sister... What?

Lie down and wait, the porridge will be ready soon

why…

What are you here for? should not

I have to say it first

Actually, it's about Matsumoto-san...

older sister?

Can you take me home? eh?

what is it? suddenly rushed

I'm sorry, I wanted to tell Mr. Sugi as soon as possible.

Ask Mr. Kawahara for his address

That guy is superfluous...

Mr. Kawahara is not bad because I said unreasonable

Mr. Matsumoto went home today.

I was asked to tell you that I was sorry

Sugi-san, I don't know when you'll come to the store.

That's why I'm so confused...

Don't rush into it even though it doesn't matter!

Ah... Huh...

please go home

yeah i'm stupid

sorry for being selfish

Please eat properly

take care

ah…

If you suddenly visit me stupidly

I'm determined to be a nuisance

Sugi-san, how are you doing?

When I thought I had to tell Matsumoto-san quickly

I can't stay or stand anymore

That's what it was, right?

The first time I saw you

Sugi-san, you were staring at Kaori-san, weren't you?

Because she looks like her dead sister

yeah i was surprised to see the picture

I didn't talk about it because I didn't want to

Even so, if I were to meddle with you

Sugi-san's feelings were hurt

That's right Kaori-san is a busybody

But there are people who are saved by that meddling

When you asked me to help you here

i thought i couldn't do it

For a long time, I only did housework and nursing care

But Kaori-san

"Don't smolder at home where you can absolutely do it"

I'm sorry for talking on my own

But that's what makes me what I am today

I'm happy if the customer is happy

I guess I was unexpectedly suited for this job

I got it right

I'm sure things will go well with Satomi-chan

Help each other and become a good combination

Did you just come to eat rice balls?

That's right, the relationship of rice balls

See, onigiri is also called “rice ball”, right?

Can you connect people with each other?

yeah

Meeting customers is also a relationship of rice balls

I should take care of it, but today I made a big mistake

It's okay, I'm sure we'll be connected again

yes

Oh... back pain again?

Ah, I hate it, I'm old too

What are you talking about? my poster girl

it was

But we had a lot of things to do with each other

Take care of yourself Satomi-chan

Because it's Tachibana

It's Tachibana thanks to Mr. Kaori

fufufu... fufufu...

Haa~ Is this the end for today?

it's still 3 o'clock

What happened to the water leak?

(chime)

Are you away

(groans)

Hello

Uchida-san, are you okay?

Ah no... I can't move I feel like I'm born

yeah...

Please, call the maternity hospital.

So... on the phone?

In the living room...

Bring me a towel...

quickly!

yes

there was!

Okay, I'll leave the phone on

towel! what's the towel

☎ (Kobayashi) Dad Calm down Oh no I...

(Kobayashi) Are you okay? please put the towel on the floor

yes

Before the ambulance arrived, the pregnant woman

a baby may be born

here? okay don't panic

(groans)

But it looks like it's going to be really hard

It's labor pains, so if you're born

Please wrap the baby in a towel so that it does not get cold.

oh... yes

(groans)

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, Mr. Uchida

(groans)

keep it up

pain! keep it up

(siren)

(emphasis)

Fu~!

(emphasis)

Firmly...

Mr. Uchida, Mr. Chiaki Uchida, can you hear me?

I will assist you in childbirth, so it is okay if you are born here.

yes

Ugh... do your best, do your best

Uh...

OK, it's almost here!

Uh...

(birth cry goes up)

(baby crying)

congratulations you have a healthy baby

I'll take you to the maternity hospital.

(baby crying)

Was born! What?

It was earlier than planned, but she's a cheerful girl

wait what are you talking about? Ah Mr. Sugi

Uchida's baby was born

Yeah! eh!

so good

Both mother and baby are fine

there's something strange

No way Mr. Sugi

To be present at Uchida's birth

yes

I wonder if this is also related to rice balls

Maybe so

Mr. Uchida said "I want to eat Tachibana rice balls"

Actually, I was asked to leave a message before.

"I want you to tell me that I'll go eat when I'm born safely."

Well then, shall we deliver it to the maternity hospital tomorrow?

Yes, to celebrate the birth of a baby

Thank you for your hard work. Are you hungry?

I think I can hold two

Can I have salmon and rice?

Ah, miso soup, it's leftovers, but you can warm it up

sorry for the time

Uun this is the one who did something rude

Because no one ever came to my house

two years ago my sister died

I'm alone all the time

My family used to run a small seafood processing company.

Until I was swallowed up by the tsunami that hit the town that day

I ran to higher ground...

Then I waited at the shelter

for my parents and sister to come

The next day, my sister found me from another evacuation center.

both father and mother

I thought you would be safe somewhere...

After 10 days, I met my parents

was a morgue

I still don't know where or how he died

that morning

let's eat together

My sister went to work by car

i'm always the same

I said, "I'm coming," and left the house.

But I couldn't say "I'm home"

After coming to Tokyo with my sister...

I didn't tell anyone about the earthquake.

be sympathetic

Because it's unbearable to be looked at like you know

Kawahara knew what was going on

I think I heard it from someone on the day of my sister's funeral.

Sister, in that picture?

When I first came here, I was surprised because they look so much alike

My older sister works harder than anyone else

sent me to college

There was no one to rely on, so it was always just the two of us

After I got a job, my life became easier

There should be a lot of good things to come

But all of a sudden I got a call

My sister fell...

It was a subarachnoid hemorrhage

By the time I rushed to the hospital...

I couldn't even say goodbye

suddenly gone

never see you again

Come on, enjoy your meal

Let's replace the tea while it's hot

Someday I want to build a house with my own hands

I got a job in design.

But when there's no one left to live with

Home has no meaning anymore

Uchida-san today

You grabbed my hand with great force, tight

When someone congratulates you on your new baby

I was really happy and laughing

People aren't born alone

If you think so...

For some reason, my sister suddenly...

I want to meet Kaori-san

excuse me

It's hard, isn't it? A sudden farewell...

But you can't put a lid on your sadness

it's okay to cry

it's okay to be angry

"Why did you die first! Why did you leave me alone!"

After throwing out all my feelings

move forward

That's not to forget

with those who died with grief

I will continue to live

(sobbing)

I…

There's something I've always wanted to say

to my father and mother

to my sister

thank you

(sobbing)

Where did you come from? (Kumi) From Omiya

eh! ? from such a distance? Oh my

The other day, it was introduced on a TV information program

because it looked so delicious

(Eldest son/Fumiko) It's delicious.

We've already lined up for quite some time, but it's delicious.

It can't be helped (eldest son)

My sister is good at finding things like this

(Yamazaki) No~ I'm hungry (Satomi) Yes

Thank you

Please give me a lunch set Oh, two please

Two lunch sets, right? (Kataoka/Yamazaki) Yes!

Please wait a moment!

(Satomi) Two lunch sets! Yes

The influence of television is amazing Happy screams

Ah, is that your bill? please

will be 700 yen

Thank you

welcome! There is a long line outside

I'm sorry to keep you waiting

I'll clean up there soon.

Satomi-chan, do you have enough plates? Oh...

I wash it okay okay

Such a thing to the customer... I finished work today

Let me take care of that

You have more and more customers

People who learned about us on TV, please keep coming.

I took more home

OK? by 2 person

As expected, it's impossible anymore, I wonder if there's someone better

I'm looking for Mr. Tanabe

I hope you find it soon

I'm sorry to have to wait in line outside

But this is the only number of seats.

So I decided to renovate

Are you thinking of expanding your shop?

eh! ? Banks should also lend

Until you borrow money? Even a small shop is a business

Getting a loan from a bank is normal.

It's not like borrowing money

I think that now is the chance to make a change in order to continue the store forever.

But... don't worry

Even if you look like this, you have the skills to run a company

Mr. Kaori, did you run a company? a long time ago

I need to get ready to open the store soon

Can I help you after this?

It would be really helpful if you could do that

Can I fly a little?

I can't help it, so please wait inside

Thank you very much

Hello there? Sugi-kun, what are you doing?

I'm getting help

Well then, Satomi-chan, are you off?

After all, what's wrong with you? eh?

that? No, Mr. Tanabe, I'm here.

What is it~ Well, I'm glad

Then it was nothing, is it nothing?

No, the other day when I went to Tobu Hospital for a regular checkup

I saw Satomi-chan come out

Did I wave my hand like this?

But Satomi-chan left without noticing

Is that so? excuse me

(Tanabe) You had a dark face, so I forgot to talk to you.

I was wondering if something was wrong

are you okay? yes

I was caught in the health checkup and re-examined

The result is Shiro, isn't it? Such that

There's something else when you get older

Did I look so gloomy?

Uh-huh... Oh!

Because the medical fee was unexpectedly high

I thought this month would be tough.

If that's the case, say it

Payroll advance? It's not so much anymore

Mmm! Because Mr. Tanabe says unnecessary things

(Tanabe) No, I'm sorry.

Ah sorry to keep you waiting

Kaori-san, Satomi-san, what kind of re-examination was that?

What is it? I was too busy to listen

You don't look good, are you tired?

The amount of garbage increased because of the queue

I have to be careful not to disturb my neighbors

Hey, Satomi-chan, we're talking about the hospital...

eh?

what was the retest?

When single people get sick, let's help each other

You promised me before, didn't you?

It's okay if it's nothing

Kaori-san?

my back hurt

I think it's because I had something bad in my stomach

eh…

Unlike in the past, there are now more advanced treatments.

It's okay if you fix it properly

yes…

But it's a little tricky

Without realizing it, I'm moving forward

There are many people who cannot have surgery.

What about Satomi-chan?

Yeah... it looks like you can do the surgery

Then hurry up, I'll help you with the necessary procedures

I'm thinking of quitting surgery

eh? What are you saying?

If you have surgery now, you can get rid of the bad part, right?

But it's pretty hard

There are risks, and my physical strength is declining

I can't work like I used to.

That's why I don't do surgery.

Why are you saying that?

Hey let's go to the hospital together

I'll listen to what the doctor has to say

it's okay leave me alone

Don't meddle with what I decide!

if surgery fails

when you can no longer work

I'm just going to annoy Kaoru-san

At a time like this, let's expand the shop

It's bad, but...

find someone new

Idiot!

What are you thinking of opening a store for?

Together with Satomi

Because you want to continue this store for a long time, right?

Don't tell me what's annoying!

Even if you're a meddlesome, I'll burn you

You... you're family

I mean

Kaori-san...

I'm sorry I didn't realize

I keep busy

I didn't see Satomi properly

let me think about what to do

Up until now, we've done everything together, haven't we?

Satomi-chan!

I'm scared!

I'm scared and don't know what to do...

are you OK

because i'm with you

Let's think together, okay?

I've always been supported by Satomi-chan.

This time it's my turn to support you

It's okay because I'm by your side

(cry)

that?

Excuse me (Tanabe) welcome

(Tanabe) Sorry to keep you waiting.

that? Mr. Tanabe, thank you for your hard work.

Mr. Tanabe, are you helping out at the new store?

I'll get up soon

Shall we go with the touch change?

Excuse me in advance

Egg yolk pickled in soy sauce and mentaiko mayo cream cheese

I was asked if there's someone good

Someone who knows more about Tachibana's rice balls than I do

There's no other place

Well, it's impossible to grasp it right away

If it's preparation or order taking, it's an immediate fighting force.

Certainly five days a week, I come in at noon

After that, let's turn around with the help of Sugi-kun with a temporary part-time worker.

You should somehow protect this store while Satomi-chan is gone.

Yes and... fufufufu

It's pretty fun working at a rice ball shop

Feelings of a man who starts making soba after retirement

I finally got it hahaha

Excuse me please order yes

Shinya-kun, please!

Sugi-kun, you seem to be very enthusiastic.

Have you asked for the example yet?

it's still... yeah

One customer at the table is sujiko and leaf pepper

The other is 2 miso soups with plum and takana pickles.

yes

Satomi, how are you? yeah it's okay

I have a goal to come back here.

Satomi said she would do her best and laughed

Is that so? Well, we have to work hard too

By the time Satomi-chan makes a comeback with more and more prosperity

What you want to restart in a cleanly renovated shop

The story of bank loans is progressing, isn't it?

So, is that person a banker? Who is that person?

During the daytime, there was a person who was watching the store.

But it's a little weird for a bank credit check.

Is that a man in a suit? yeah he is

Tanabe said the same thing yesterday.

I don't like it. It's creepy, isn't it?

I don't think so...

Security cameras should be installed, even when renovating

Yeah... hey Shinya-kun yes

I would like to consult with you about that.

Renovation design I wanted to ask someone who knows our store well.

How about? can you do it?

It's okay, it's okay, even if you don't decide right now

think about it

then this is me

good luck good night

Whoa!

what is it? Closed for today

Ah wait... who are you?

Just a little bit...

Hiroaki…

(Yajima) Hey, for a while

what happened? Do you know each other?

i saw tv

Seeing Kaori's cheerful smile makes me feel nostalgic

I just happened to be nearby today

I would like to take a peek at what kind of store it is

then go ahead

I can say that it's nostalgic

What are you here for?

No, even if I try to contact you, I don't know where you are

I first learned about the opening of this store on TV.

What do you want?

Use or rather...

If you don't have anything to do, there's nothing to talk about when you go home

I have a favor

Ka… Kim Can I have a date?

It's just a little bit of a stalemate

about 300... 200...

1 million is fine

If you survive the emergency, you'll manage somehow

I'll certainly, of course, definitely return

I'm begging you…

please it's like this

Such a thing...

What do you think I was thinking when I started this store?

Go home and never come again! Incense…

Get out Get out!

(Yajima) Incense!

I used to run a company with him

small advertising company

I was a partner in my personal life.

I didn't register

He was a person who knew a lot about accounting, so I trusted him and left everything to him.

But he suddenly said he was quitting the company...

I was surprised to see the ledger I took over

The company's working capital was transferred to somewhere else before I knew it.

Terrible...

That person started another company

That's when I first knew

there was another woman

I closed the company and hated everything

I was stuck at home

Even at times like that, I'm hungry

I cooked rice and made rice balls

I suddenly cried when I was eating hot rice balls

Crying in tatters...

Then somehow it broke

I can't help but cry

let's do it again

So the rice ball shop...

I don't have money to lend to someone like that, I'm going to renovate the shop

I have to think about Satomi's medical expenses.

I'm sorry, tell me a strange story

It's all over now, forget about what we just talked about

I'm so late Thank you for your hard work

thank you for your hard work

Isn't it a lie that you happened to come close by chance?

eh? I saw Tanabe yesterday.

Today's lunch is also outside the shop

Entering the store

I feel like I'm in a corner... Stop it!

don't say it anymore it's nothing to do with me

that?

that…

if you like this

Ah, the incense shop...

please

it's bad

(opens can)

ah…

Are you the manager of that store?

No, the person who runs the store with Kaoru-san

I'm going to take a break for a while, so help me

Oh, that person you saw on the TV with you?

It's Satomi

The two of us joined forces and came

It's so prosperous now, but at first it was in the red

yes you did your best

yes

Did you hear the old story?

home…

yes just a little

I run an investment consulting company in Kobe.

When the stock price was rising, it went surprisingly well

At that time, I didn't even remember about incense

Get on your toes and spread your hands

At the end of the phrase, it's still this way haha

All that's left is a lot of debt

I saw incense on TV...

That smile makes me so nostalgic

i just wanted to see you

But when I'm at a loss, I tend to think silly things

I wondered if it might be a source of strength

Isn't it because Kaoru-san is worried about that?

Kaori-san, maybe...

Debt Can't you handle it?

yeah that's right

I have to do something...

I guess I have no choice but to run away like this

this…

Thank you for the meal

I don't know what to say, but do it with the power of incense

well

Do you have an escape plan?

It's no good, don't think about dying

rice ball…

Since I came all the way here, Kaoru's rice ball

Would you like to eat?

no i'm fine

Let's go without saying that

really good

Come on, let's go no no no no...

(door opens)

here you go

Kaori-san, two rice balls, please.

Follow me, please

Please (Yajima) Thank you

Salmon and bonito flakes

good…

400 yen for 2 rice balls 500 yen with miso soup

From the point of view of you who moved a lot of money

It's a business like playing house

At first it was painful and I thought many times that I should stop

But let's do our best for just one more day

that's how it went on

Only rice, salt, glue, and the ingredients inside

There are no decorations, so you can't cheat

just be honest

Just grasp each one with all your heart

(sobbing)

(sobbing)

Thank you for the meal

yes…

it will prosper

it was really delicious

Incense... Incense is amazing

I'm pretty sure it was 500 yen.

(looks for coins)

I do not need

It was delicious.

hang on!

this... use

little

i can't get this

I'm not qualified to borrow money from incense

Then

you idiot

I wish I could take it without overdoing it

I pretended to be cool

hang on!

take it

fragrant…

because it's okay

okay i'll try my best

But... Kaoru too

I've climbed up to this point from the bottom

I'll show you how

thank you

That person will surely recover

I'm sure we can do it again

Fight

Sister I once again...

so cute what's your name?

My name is Harue. Harue-chan, what a nice name.

Hey girl, you look fine

yes thanks

Ah, can you give this picture to Mr. Sugi?

A child born with the help of that time

You're growing up so well

If it's Shinya-kun, it's almost time for him to come to the store.

I'm sorry, but I have to go home today

boob time?

My mother from my parents' house is here, so I only came out for a little while.

I will come back to eat rice balls soon

Bring Harue this time

I'll be waiting for you. Please take care of yourself.

thank you very much

excuse me yes

Harue-chan, grow up quickly and healthily

(Tanabe) Even so, it's a strange fate.

Sugi-kun was present when this child was born.

yeah really

no, it's late

It took me some time to fix this

Wow~ Pretty I'm sorry I begged you

No no... So, is the guest of honor yet?

I'm on my way to pick you up, and it's almost here

Ah, how can I hide the flowers? (Kawahara) Ah, yes

oh i met him there

The name of the baby was born, um...

Chiaki-san, look, you delivered this

Ah~ It's so cute and puffy

And another piece of good news

I got a letter from Mr. Matsumoto.

Hey, you're in Fukui now, aren't you? How are you doing?

well read it ah yeah

“Kaoru-san, Satomi-san, are you still the same?”

(Matsumoto) "I'm working at my parents' gas station now."

welcome!

(Matsumoto) "There was a local radio station among the customers."

"Because of that relationship, I became a narrator for an information program."

"It was decided to let me do it."

thank you very much!

“Organic themes are rising in popularity among young people.”

"Only additive-free ingredients..."

"Today's introduction was conscious of beauty..."

welcome!

"Thanks to you, we have a good reputation."

“It has been decided that I will get a regular job.”

Haa~ You're doing your best Matsumoto-kun

It's amazing that you're a regular

It might be a little different than what I was aiming for.

Roads open up in unexpected places

(Kawahara) Oh sorry yes

(Kawahara) Oh

Satomi-chan! Welcome back!

(Tanabe/Kawahara) Welcome back

Mr. Kawahara

(Kawahara) Okay, from Kaori-san.

Satomi-chan, congratulations on your discharge!

(Kawahara) Congratulations!

You really tried hard!

thank you

Yeah~

(applause)

But it's surprising, Tanabe-san.

I can't believe a rice ball shop suits you so much

You feel like a true chef, don't you?

(Kawahara) I'm wearing a white top.

Doesn't it just look like them?

It's not just about how you look (Kawahara)

The way you hold it is also very strong and has been certified.

Oh... but I still

It would be better if Kaoru-san and Satomi-san gently made the rice ball.

Too bad! with rough hands

(Kawahara) No, no, no, sorry, sorry

i wish i could help

what are you saying

Today is to celebrate Satomi's discharge from the hospital, so leave it to me.

yes i did~ haha

Today is for a little small Satomi-chan

yes thank you for waiting

Wow, Shinya-kun is completely on board too

right? You can count on me

so good

I was worried about your shop, wondering if everything was okay

It's hard for me to make you feel at ease like that

If you don't come back soon, I'll just

It's a connection until then, so wait a minute

That's a problem too... Huh?

Mr. Tanabe, can you continue like this?

No, but... if you renovate and expand the shop a little

With Satomi-chan and just the two of us, there will be a shortage of manpower.

It's going well. Talk about remodeling.

There was talk of renting half of the back parking lot and expanding it.

After the prospect of financing is set, all that's left is to have a design meeting

Then I'll find a good architecture firm

yeah but...

Could you let me design it?

Let me make a design plan for the renovation

Shinya

I decided to re-employ the design office.

It's a small office that does good work.

Eh Cedar Is that true?

start over again

As a first step, I'd like you to let me renovate this store.

please

I just want to expand my shop

I want this store to be a place where I can meet many customers.

It makes me happy when I hear the word "delicious"

Our customers are full of smiles

If you come here and eat a hot rice ball

I can cheer myself up a little at any time

I want to keep running that kind of store

that's my wish

yeah me too

Can you design a store that fulfills our wishes?

yes! Let me take care of that

thank you

(Satomi) I'm happy.

I can't wait to see what kind of store it will be

Let's start the celebration of retirement

Yo! oh i'm hungry itadakimasu

Hey, it's Satomi-chan first.

(Kawahara) That's right haha ​​I'm sorry

Just like Kaoru once said

eh? Rice balls are tied

Connecting people to people

That's right, the relationship of rice balls

While supporting and being supported by each other

I'm gonna do something

Welcome home, Satomi-chan

(All) welcome back

Hmmm... delicious!

(Tanabe/Kawahara) Oh~

(Kawahara) Thank you very much.

I'll enjoy having this

Is it related to rice balls?

I'm connected to a lot of people too

yes! It's delicious, isn't it? Hey

(Kawahara) It's amazing, really, just the right amount of salt.

(Tanabe) Is that so? (Kawahara) But at this level

I can make it too (Tanabe) It's 10 years early, isn't it?

You're 10 years too early, aren't you?

People are helped by people>

Living while being supported by people's connections>

Tormented by loneliness at times>

Even if there are days when I shed bitter tears

Yet at any time>

You are never alone>
