This time it is Beautiful Family.

It is a concept specifically investigating the theme of mother and daughter.

Every celebrated mother and child. The beautiful mother and her daughter discovered on the street.

We also want to observe the foundation that Saotome-san speaks of,

especially the method of raising girls.
We also want to observe the foundation that Saotome-san speaks of,

especially the method of raising girls.

Ah, it's really inspirational.

I'm a big fan of the Saotome Family.

I even have a copy of Yuuri-san's book.

Ah! Akira-chan! That look right now was good.

Like you're saying you won't lose to your mother.

Yuuri-san, a composed look.

Ah, this is the best!

Is that alright, President?

That camera man has a modern cool style.

It's ok.

Akira is always courteous but she thinks nothing of it.

But Akira-chan is still young.

I'm relieved precisely because she's young.

She can fastidiously become wholehearted.

Ah, she has a boyfriend? That's fine then.

She can't have one. She'll be used as a display.

I'll say "This person is my head coach,

and the person that I love."

Don't tease an old man.

I'm serious. I'll tell the whole world.

Leaving aside girls having a different foundation than boys,

what is something you wish they were more careful about,

something you wish they had?
what is something you wish they were more careful about,

something you wish they had?

Something like grace for a girl's character.

A sense of justice.

A sense of justice...

Mothers cannot all send their sons off to the battlefield.

If there was this determination, the world will become peaceful.

Ah, that's an amazing way of thinking.

I'm sorry. That was a little exaggerated.

There's a different meaning?

If you will allow me to speak a little smugly,

the meaning of me saying that I wish girls would hold a sense of justice...

...is to stare straightly only at love.

Only at love...

It seems simple, however,

in fact because of a certain reason, it is a surprisingly difficult thing to protect.

Especially for girls.

A certain reason?

Very much so.

It's also good to end with a riddle.

We'll have the answer next time.

Then, as always, let's sum up the conclusion.

Please.

Let's challenge me and provoke all the readers of this magazine.

Is your child a "B-Child"?

Or are they a "Poor Child"?

Presented by Hifumi Subs

Come in.

Shimei-san is here.

Please.

Please, sit.

Order drinks from downstairs.

I'll have ice tea.

You're Ryoko-san, right?

I'll have the same.

Yes.

Here, go ahead.

It's the president's office. Three ice tea's please.

Three?

I'm sorry. I'm also thirsty...

Ask me about that first.

That difference in order is where modesty and shame splits off.

Well, it's fine.

You're Ryoko-san, right?

Yes.

I've heard for the most part, the break up with Kou...

I'm sorry. That you've broken up.

If you're perhaps asking me the mother to do somehow do something,

then I'm sorry but that would be difficult.

I...

He's my son but regarding his private matters...

I'm pregnant.

I also have the medical certificate.

President...

Congratulations.

Brother Kou, you didn't use any contraception?

Stop it. Talking about that in front of Mother.

Even so, it's not congratulations right?

Why? There's a declining birth rate.

It's a joyous thing to be blessed with a baby.

Mother, I've broken up with Ryoko.

I know.

What does she want to do?

She wants to give birth, of course.

I'll call her.

To tell her to take me to the hospital.

To have an abortion?

I'm not taking the side of the guys, but Yuuri, I agree with that.

The most important is that Kou is still a student.

Being a student has nothing to do with it.

I don't plan on spoiling them,

but economically I can take care of things.

You're not serious right, Mother?

Kou, you have a responsibility.

A responsibility you can't escape from.

That takes priority over your feelings.

Hey, hey. He's not an outsider.

Just who's side are you on?

The side of the children who are born.

The ones who hold the Saotome DNA.

Thank you very much.

Why do I have to pay for the pizza?

Ah, sorry, sorry.

It's fine for what we asked, but I don't have any money.

Even so, is a gold medal really such a big deal?

The president is too strict, no matter how I look at it.

Ren-kun is still a high school student.

Well, you might think that looking in from the outside,

but Yuuri's gotten obsessed with that gold.

But you wouldn't understand, about the gold or about our dead Uncle Shuichi.

Uncle Shuichi?

Rika-san, you don't know yet?

There are pictures in the president's office, right?

Ah, yea. That person?

It was an accident right before the Olympics.

So that's how it was.

That's why us three kids,

though we're not for Uncle's revenge or anything.

He was the Saotome-family's greatest wish.

It might be like that saying things like this,

but sports is something that naturally has significance by participating.

No. It's not that he's bad.

If the difference in strength is evident and you're falling behind,

anybody would want a prize somehow or other.

They'd want a medal if they could.

However, that way of thinking is, how do I put it.

Athlete's something...How do you say it? That word, um...

Perspective. They've somehow...

Gone beyond that perspective.

The Olympic gold, you see, is one person chosen in the world.

There was a fairy-tale, right? That...lumberjack story.

There's only one person who can talk to the goddess that appeared from the pond.

That gold ax is my own ax.

Son, you've spoken well.

To tell you the truth, I, Akashi Tatsuya...

Sorry. I simply can't think of you as a chosen person.

Still?

[phone] Do you have to qualifications to say "B-Chid" or "Poor Child"?

I'll let you know, if there are 100 children then there are 100 ways to raise them.

Why not report this to the police?

It's not such an immediate threat right now.

[phone] Listen to me seriously.

What's your name?

If you can't say your name then you're the same as a ghost.

I'm sorry, but words from a non-existing person won't reach my ears.

That works.

Ghost?

What? So high and mighty.

Restrict the ingredients to what's in season.

Yes.

And replace the dishes for the soup.

It's vulgar being so big.

Yes. Excuse me.

Thank you.

President. There's something I want to ask.

If you're just being curious then stop.

Ah, no. It's not about Kou-kun.

Then what?

It's about the data for the magazine last time.

The sense of justice of staring straightly only at love.

Why is that difficult for women to protect?

It's the brain for shopping.

Brain for...shopping?

A woman's frontal lobe, right in the middle here,

is said to have a brain for shopping.

There are brain tissues for desires of wanting to shop, for feeling happy when we shop.

That, I understand.

I love looking at and shopping for clothes and accessories.

It's like I can let go of my stress. Internet shopping is also a danger.

Ah, what should I do. I'm in a pinch this month.

But, dropping it in the shopping basket. "Have a safe trip".

I don't need such re-enactments.

Sorry.

It's fine when you're young and still getting support from your parents.

But when you've reached a marriageable age like you,

the important thing in the long run

for a girl looking for a marriage partner is economical strength.

- That's something that's better to have.
- Of course it's better to have.

No. If you don't have it then your brain for shopping can't be satisfied.

In other words, you won't become happy.

No way.

For me, even if I have no money, as long as there's love.

"No way." You said it, with that lisp of yours.

- But.
- Eighty percent of marital fights

are about where and how their little amount of money was spent.

That's most likely the wife being tricked, being told "You careless good-for-nothing"

as the husband breaks it off.

Yes.

There's no money. You put up with it.

The stress builds up. It takes up even more money if there are children.

You want to wear cute clothes. You want to go shopping.

I'll let you know, grocery shopping is no good. It's not fun at all.

Pretty things. Jewelery. Expensive. Impossible.

Cute things. So colorful. Want to buy. Can't buy. Get irritated.

Before long the love freezes up.

It's money after all. You're not happy if there's no money.

I...I can tolerate it.

At that time, you suddenly bump into an ex-boyfriend.

Looking prosperous, a woman who looks like his wife

is holding a small package with a pink ribbon that he just bought for her.

"Hey, long time no see."

But you're so miserable you want to disappear.

Because, only then did you have to be wearing some cheap sandals.

Cheap sandals?

It's Yuumin. Don't you know? It's "Destiny".
[Singer Matsutoya Yumi, nicknamed Yumin, popular in the late 80's and early 90's.]

I'll download it.
[Singer Matsutoya Yumi, nicknamed Yumin, popular in the late 80's and early 90's.]

You're the one who failed. Who cares about personality.

It'll all the same when you get used to it. More importantly,

you want to shop, want to shop, want to shop.

Even I want to be happy!

Yes, I do!

The guy says,

"Does a woman mean money, after all."

But it's a misunderstanding.

It's not because of greed. It's just that there's the brain that wants to shop.

If you control it you'll get stressed. It's not because you have a bad personality.

It's just that you love having and collecting shiny cute things.

I love it.

I'll ask one more time,

pitiful lamb wishing to genuinely protect love.

Just frankly state what is ideally necessary in order to do that.

It's money.

Ah...my sense of justice.

"Have a safe trip."

What is this? You bought this place back for me?

What did you want to talk about?

Ah. It's about Ren.

About whether you'll let him go back.

Why? It seems like you're getting along well.

That guy snores real loud. Seriously.

Or rather, it's annoying having a guy with that character put on me.

That's true.

Ren resembles you the most.

Rather, no one else resembles me. Kou's all serious and refined.

You wouldn't think he was my son.

He's the child of an affair.

I'm joking.

You got good at making these jokes.

Even within those three, Ren has the best physical ability.

Yea.

Plus, compared to Kou he's good with pressure.

Well, he's reasonable like me.

He's the closest to a gold.

His running conditions again?

I'll let you take care of that.

If his character's like yours then you should know how to pick him up.

Well, yea.

But...

But?

You're not going to respect him wanting to be free?

He's mistaking the meaning of free.

If he wants to relax then that's not freedom. He's just running away.

Only when one exceeds their individual limits, when they've been released, can a person be free.

There's only freedom beyond the suffering.

If you don't endure the rain then you won't see the rainbow.

That might be.

But Yuuri, look at me.

I used up a whole life's worth of luck there.

No matter what I do it doesn't go well.

It was only a big deal for a moment.

No one remembers it now.

Saying, "That person is now", are the miserable inhabitants of the world.

Getting irritated, finding faults in a wife who's good at everything,

in the end even the family broke apart.

Right? The children wouldn't pick a guy like that, right?

Just kidding.

You're leaving already?

When I complain I end up wanting to stop.

I heard you spent the money.

You heard from Rika-chan the spy?

Here.

It's fine. I'll manage somehow.

I'm worried about Ren.

That right?

Then.

Jouji...

What are you doing?

Masaru-kun.

Don't Masaru-kun me.

What are you looking at coming in on your own.

You don't put in your name this way?

Huh?

If you don't put in your own name,

then you're the same as a ghost, right?

You don't exist.

No one will be your opponent.

Ren, apologize to Mother. I can go with you too.

I'll apologize too.

Don't want to.

I don't regret what I've said.

Don't be stubborn.

Don't, don't.

But doesn't Mother always say that

willpower and staying firm is important for boys?

But I don't get even now

the reason why you want to quit.

Because, don't you really hate losing?

Right, right. Even in cards or Othello.

You never let us quit until you win.

Is that so?

All while crying.

That's from when we were little.

Though you said I had a mother complex before.

I was rude. I'm sorry.

You're actually the one who has the biggest mother complex.

I think so too. You always stick to her during sports meets.

I said that was from when we were little.

Mother complex.

Come in.

I asked Mukoi-kun in general affairs to look into it.

How was it?

It's like you thought.

That medical certificate is fake.

The doctor himself seems like an unlicensed chiropractor.

That girl looked perplexed

when I congratulated her on the pregnancy.

She didn't expect that.

I checked up on her parents too.

Her father was let go and it seems like they're having trouble.

It seems like next time this father might come in too.

You have any friends?

You have anybody you can call your best friend?

Yea, there are some.

People from my junior college, and friends from my high school club.

Are those really friends?

Well, yea.

Do they also think so?

I think they do.

Do they sometimes worry about you more than themselves?

Um, probably.

Probably is no good.

You can't call them friends if you can't say that with certainty, right?

Sorry.

I don't have any.

Well, I have a lot of acquaintances. But they're not friends.

That's why, there's no way you have any either.

No way!

"No way."

Then let me ask.

Do you have any friends who would their risk own lives to come save you?

A Hashire Meroko. How about it?
[From "Hashire Merosu", a short story by Osamu Dazai read in schools about unwavering friendship. Yuuri changed it to "Meroko" to make it a girl's name.]

Such extreme.

[From "Hashire Merosu", a short story by Osamu Dazai read in schools about unwavering friendship. Yuuri changed it to "Meroko" to make it a girl's name.]

It's not extreme.
[From "Hashire Merosu", a short story by Osamu Dazai read in schools about unwavering friendship. Yuuri changed it to "Meroko" to make it a girl's name.]

Leaving aside everything,

throwing down anything and everything if they knew you were in trouble

to come running to you is what a friend is, right?

"I'm with my boyfriend right now."

"It's my children's school's Parents' Day."

"I'm going on my honeymoon tomorrow."

Rushing over to your side somehow even with those things.

On the other hand, if it was reversed,

do you have any true friends to whom you can say,

"I understand. I'll go over right now so cheer up."?

Well, not to that extent. It's the age of emails.

Idle gossip or a park debut? Incoherent rambling topics?

Are your worries about the opposite sex or raising children?

TV information exchange?

With that standard they're just acquaintances.

It's the kind of relationship that'll just fly away. Am I wrong?

It flies, President. Fly, fly.

"That's life." "That's love."

"That's womanhood." "Late! You grew up too late."

You said you had several friends you can hold hands with and cry with.

- No, not to that extent.
- You said it, right?

You said it with a mushy voice like you were irritated at my feelings of solitude.

"Yea, there are some. People from my junior college,

and friends from my high school club."

I'm sorry.

They were just acquaintances.

There are one or two people in one's lifetime.

Friends who know you more than you know yourself. At most.

Or you might not meet any.

Yes.

I still haven't met any yet.

Not to mention someone of your level.

I'm sorry. Let me withdraw what I said. There is no Meroko.

What Meroko? Are you making fun of me?

No. But, President...

Proclaim it loud and clear.

As if you are in a maddening desert craving water with a dry scream.

Three, go.

I don't have any friends! Not even one!

Don't worry. I'm like that too.

You know Kanbara, right?

It seems like he likes you.

What do you think? Try going on a date next time.

I told you it's no good to be so introverted.

See? You're a real beauty when you take off your glasses.

Really?

You have to say what you want to say.

Well, I can understand while I'm here.

Hey, Brother's going to worry if you just cry.

I'll work hard.

Yes, President!

We're here to see President Saotome.

Guests are here. Show them in.

Yes, President.

Then Ryoko's pregnancy was fake?

Yea. You're relieved, right?

Yes. But why would she...

Kou. You still don't understand about yourself.

Huh?

You're Saotome's oldest son.

You're the successor.

The chairman and Yuuri's assets.

You'll inherit the personal connections.

You're a prince, so to speak.

Stop that.

It's not a joke.

From now on there'll be endless girls who approach you with that purpose.

Jouji-san.

Sorry.

You're saying you wish for an engagement

between these two even though they're still students?

In the future, of course.

She's my daughter. Naturally, I'll have the responsibility be taken.

Yes.

It's just that their love has unluckily ended.

No. I don't know if there was something you can call love.

Your son might have simply played around with my daughter

and thrown her away, with that intention from the beginning.

I pursuaded my daughter.

I can't have someone of a needy nature be with my precious daughter,

no matter how well bred a son he might be.

What "Beautiful Child"?

I'm disgusted just hearing it.

We've accepted to do the surgery.

I'll be accompanying her.

Is that so?

However, I don't want to give up in frustration.

I understand.

I want to demand consolation money.

I think it's my obvious right.

You're troubled too, right?

Raising your children harshly, saying all high and mighty that it's their foundation.

But the son in question is a person who preyed on my innocent daughter.

I'm sure the media would bite at this all together if they knew about it.

Saying that even your son was a "Poor Child".

It seems they would.

Enter.

Kou...

I'm demanding 500 thou..., no, 10 million yen as consolation money.

10 million yen...

Such an amount...

I understand.

I'll write a check.

Mother...

Ryoko-san.

Come and accept this.

Ryoko, you don't have to hold back.

You're the victim here.

I can't take it.

What are you saying?

Understand? This is a justified demand.

It's a lie.

I'm not pregnant.

I see.

Idiot.

What are you doing now?

Ah, it's hot today.

Ren.

Buy me some ice cream too.

It seems like, during this recession,

you've been let go from the company you've worked at for a long time.

How do you know that?

You were mortified, right?

I sympathize.

Like you would understand.

I understand the feeling of frustration.

If you live you'll encounter various situations.

However.

However?

However what?

When you have that emotion,

there are those who spring back up and tell them selves to keep trying,

and those who resent the other person or the company, or even the whole society.

I believe there are these two kinds of people.

That's the difference in character.

Are you insulting me?

I am.

Ryoko-san.

I can support your delayed school expenses or even assist with your desired place of employment thereafter.

Mother...

However, there is one condition.

Cut your connections with this person.

President.

I'll say it again.

Cut off your connections of parent and child, so that he's no longer your father.

This person offered you for sale.

More than that, he was going to sell his daughter as a woman.

He's disqualified as a father,

no matter how poor and no matter how stupid.

And with a little more you would have ended up like that.

If a woman is sold off even once, she'll have that vice following her.

Perhaps it's because it's said to be the easiest and quickest way.

You confessed your lie properly.

But that alone isn't enough.

This person, this man here with a greedy character,

cut him off so that he's not your father.

Then I will support you.

Leave home and live on your own. I'll support all of those funds.

I hit it!

You're pretty lucky.

Since the Olympics.

Dad.

If you're telling me to run again, that's impossible.

Hm? You found out?

I kind of don't like it, but I end up knowing what you're thinking.

As I thought. 'Cause our character's the same.

It's like I'm holding a bomb.

A bomb? What are you talking about?

You a terrorist?

Here.

That's why it's impossible.

I can't do such a thing.

I see. How unfortunate.

He really is a wimp,

but my father's a kind person.

He probably got fed up with so many things.

I think that's why he was overcome with temptation.

I see.

He's serious,

and he's never raised his hand at me or shouted at me. Not even once.

He really was just overwhelmed with temptation.

Let's go home, Dad.

Somehow...

Kou!

Kou-kun!

Go!

Go see her off!

I'm sorry, President. I butted in.

But she showed a really horrible side of herself in front of you.

And yet she tried so hard to not cry even one drop.

I think it can't be helped that your feelings of love disappeared,

since they're only affections.

But you'll really regret it if you let it end so badly.

I was just a rebound for my last boyfriend.

At that time, in the end it made me want to be ignored

and it even got difficult to be at work.

I thought it would've been better not to have liked someone like that.

We saw each other all the time so I ended up regretting it.

That's why anything's fine at the end.

Some kind words.

No. It's fine even if there're no words.

Right. I understand.

I'm sorry, President.

Good job.

You said it nicely.

The break up determines a man's character.

Yes. President!

Excuse me.

Hey.

Saotome-kun.

Thank you.

So then you knew from the beginning that she wasn't pregnant.

Right.

Then why did you play out the act?

Act?!

Sorry.

Is everything fine as long as things are good for yourself?

Is it fine if only you and your family are safe and happy?

Well, I...

Athletes always say in interviews,

"I'm working hard for my family", right?

You get moved to tears sometimes.

Yes. With baseball or boxing.

When I hear that,

I get furious.

Sports sells dreams.

They get encouraged and cheered up when they watch it,

the people you've never met.

Yes.

The players who are influenced by that

can't say that it's for themselves or their family,

even if it tears their mouths.

Even a lie is fine.

"It's for the people who support me."

"It's for the people who watch me."
You're disqualified if you don't spit out a speech.

It's a hero interview.

Things like your parents or your wife or your kids,

say them when you go home.

It's public nonsense anyway.

I understand, somehow.

But in relations to before...

That parent and child, that family, had crumbled,

from the time they considered conspiring about money,

about succeeding and failing.

That's true.

That's why I cornered them just enough

so that she wouldn't take the check.

That's when I called in Kou.

That's why during that fight, Kou...

We were able to avoid the problem with that.

The father too, if his daughter said that much

he would try again with his dear life, right?

For the sake of the family.

I work as a substitute director of sports encouragement.

Like I said before, it's not a position where it's all fine as long as your own family is ok.

You have my respect!

Honestly, I was worried that this job was impossible,

to the point where I even dreamed about being scolded by President.

I see.

Yes. But...

You.

Yes!

Did you have the brain to worry?

First, I'm the one who decides if this is impossoble.

You don't have the right to decide. Got it? Not even a little.

Yes! President.

Stop.

Here, right?

I think this line here's a little crooked.

Yea. Ok. Try fixing it on the trampoline.

Alright. Strike the iron while it's hot. Let's go.

Akira.

I...

I proposed to Yuuri.

I said, "How about me as you guys' father?"

Of course, as the man who would be her second husband.

What are you saying?

They haven't divorced yet.

True.

But they're not a true married couple.

Though they stay like this because of appearances.

What did Mother say?

That it can't happen soon.

See, you understand, right?

Yuuri has the task of holding the highest priority.

That one of you would take a gold in London.

That's why the thing before will come after that.

Brother Ren quit running.

Yea. That's true.

Even Brother Kou is suffering, and we don't know what's going to happen.

Right now I'm the one with the most potential.

That's right.

But I...

I said so before, right? That this is for you.

Akira.

You're still a kid.

You're just misunderstanding your own feelings.

Misunderstanding?

Yea.

I just happen to be close.

Because I'm here, you're confusing your sense of security with love.

It's like measles.

If you become a little more adult, you'll find a real and normal lover.

That's cruel.

Why are you saying this?

Why are you deciding my own feelings for me?

That's...

When is someone an adult?

Mother said we can decide on our own when we reach junior high.

I'm already 17. I'm fully an adult!

Don't treat me like a kid!

Sorry.

I understand. Sorry.

Akira. I'm glad.

Though honestly I was surprised.

I thought, just what's so good about this old man.

But I can't return your feelings.

Do you...

Do you love Mother?

I do.

Since when?

Since before you were born.

This whole time.

Um, President.

What? I didn't call for you.

Can I ask one more thing?

Listen earlier. You're so depressing.

I'm sorry.

It's about the brain for shopping.

That again?

Yes. It's just that, you said all girls have that,

but for as long as I've watched you I can't believe that you have one.

Are you trying to say I'm a boy?

No, it's not that.

Even I have it.

Something I want so bad I end up buying it.

What could that be?

Secret.

No way.

I won't tell anyone. Please.

If I tell you, there's something I want you to do.

How about it? Can you do it?

If it's something I can do.

In a way, it's something only you can do.

Is there something like that?

Push that. On the side of the sideboard on that wall.

This?

Right.

That's my secret. Press it.

Somehow...

Can we stop this, after all?

What now? Press it.

Yes.

I just end up buying them. I have them collected from the first one.

Rika-chan...dolls...

You understand, right?

The meaning of something only you can do.

"I..."

Louder!

"Rika-chan."

Cuter. In that cat voice you always use.

"I'm Rika-chan. Let's be friends."

One more time.
