Rei-san

Jikkun likes Rei-san.

Just how many men have you eaten so far?

Has anyone you dated in the past
killed themselves?

What are you talking about?

Please, don't go anywhere near
Mr. Shibusawa again.

He met you and he threw me away

like a bag of potatoes. I've
lost to you.

What are you doing here? This
is Hitoshi's room.

Rei-san, are you okay?

You're all drunk, how pathetic.
- Sorry.

You don't need to apologize.
- Shut up!

Rei-san's a demon.

If I live with a family, it falls
to pieces

Since I got married to Kazu

I've been coming to visit my parents'
graves less.

Housework seems to never end and
the morning is always busy for me.

This fire place looks cool but,
its very high maintenance.

'Morning
Aa- 'Morning

What's for breakfast?
- Nanakusayagu*

Nanakusagayu?
- You don't know it?

"Nanakusagayu is a porriage eaten on
the first of January in the morning"

"to guarantee good health for a year"

Hee-
-Ee?

Ah better not forget ricecake too.

Hey Kenji...
- Hm?
Had you heard of Nanakusagayu before?

Of course.
- Oh okay.

Hadn't you heard of it Hitoshi?

That's embarressing for someone who's running Japan

What's so funny?

Just how much you exaggerate

"Someone who's running Japan"
- Hitoshi and I are different from you.

There's a bit too much salt in this.

Sorry.

Oh well.

I think it's good though

I never said it tasted bad.
I said it had a bit too much salt.

It looks like eve people who run Japan
think differently

Shut it! Since when did you become
such a smart aleck?

No matter how busy we are

we always have breakfast as a family
at the Shibusawa house,

and today was no exception.

But today it felt like we were forcing
ourselves a little

And not being honest.

He's the only one with a smile on his face today.

You miss it?
- Yep...

Bro, do you like Rei?

If you hurt Dad I'll never
forgive you for it.

Maybe he's not so happy after all

You shouldn't be so worried about
Dad.

How about you worry more about finally passing the
Bar Exam this year?

Wow, you're just like Dad with how you're
so good at

changing topics slyly.
- I'm not like him!

Even my opinions as a Public Servant
are completely different than his.

Why you so mad?
- Who wouldn't be mad?

Is your head okay?

If it's just my mistake then fine.

Good morning.
- Good morning.

When are you going to clean up the Pine Decorations?*
- On the 15th

At this house we do it on the 7th.

Take care of my husband.

The Prime Minister is promising to reduce

the GDP Deficit by half in 5 years.

Can you really achieve this goal

with all the reckless spending you
have been doing?

Yousuke Muraki is my Dad's enemy.

Prime Minister, your response?

As just advised, at this rate

achieving this goal will not be
an easy task

However....

With the upcoming recovery of the
World Economy

it goes without saying out country
will display see growth too and...

That's why your plan is no good!

Yousuke Muraki-kun!

You're doing nothing to change the fact
that the Public Servant System is tied too...

Good morning.
-'Morning

Just before I received a message
from the Prime-Minister's chief secretary

saying that he would like to meet you
at lunch.
- Okay.

Muraki was really a pain in my side today.

At this rate the financial recovery won't
make any ground

and my support rating will drop
by 20 points.

I think we need to institute some policy
that will make Japan happy.

I don't think that is necessary.

Whether Japan's citizens suffer,
whether support ratings fall,

You're doing what you should be doing
Prime Minister.

And all you need to do is continue
doing that.

We'll fix all the other problems.
- Even so...

People don't follow those who only
say things everyone wants to hear.

If you say nine things they don't want to hear,
and then one thing that they do

They'll be moved and be putty in your hands.

Its the same for work colleagues,
citizens

your wife, and even your kids.

So in short even if you want to introduce it,
it'll be hard?

Yeah that's pretty much it.
- Thank you.

Oi Morita.
- Yo

I want Muraki-san to speak at one of my
conferences,

can you set it up for me?

Don't ask for such difficult things
from a mere journalist like me

But even if I do it the normal way there's
no way it'd work, right???

Looks like you finally wanna take a stand against your Dad.
How interesting.

It's nothing to do with my Dad.
Anyway, make it happen!

Lately Kazu has been difficult to deal with

But sometimes he's really nice to me

Ken-chan tells me not to go into his room
but

Hitoshi tells me to just leave the cleaning stuff
next to his

They're brothers but they're so different

and neither of them are anything like
Kazu

Ou.
- So how was it?

Atleast order something, dammnit.
- Beer please. OK?

So did he OK it? Huh?

Tomorrow at 6am Yousuke Muraki
will be in the Training Room
at Onaka Sports

Onaka Sports?

Her name was Hiroko Onaka

**Ministry of Finances

apparently she used to be a Secretary
at the MOF a long time ago.**

And now she's the CEO of this place.
- Onaka Sports

I went and met Hiroko Onaka.

I told you I don't know that woman.

They were even keeping it a secret from reporters
but when I said that Shibusawa's son

wanted to meet Muraki they told me everything.

You used Dad's name?
- Don't complain.

I did everthing in proper order.
- Thank you, I'm grateful.

That's why the Minister of State's
Secretariat Sano has been going there

he's been tailing Muraki.

Good morning.
I'm from the MOF, my name is Hitoshi Shibusawa.

Nice to meet you.
- Are you gunna run?

** Japanese expression to apologize for being rude

Ah yes, shitsurei shimasu.**

You're dad is cool but you,
you look like a model.

I've heard about you from Morita.

He said that you were in support of my
party's proposals?

I'm thankful.

Actually, I've been calling on young members
of other departments

and at the moment I'm holding meetings to
promote the Public Servant Revolution.

I would be really grateful if maybe you could
speak at one of them...

No problem. That's all you want?

I didn't actually think you
would say yes

so easily so...
- What about quitting with all the

meetings and back-alley tactics

and run as a member of my party?

You can re-build Kasumigaseki
and this country WITH me.

We really need someone like you, especially when
there's excellent bureaucrats

like your father working for the other side.

I'm very flattered.

But I have no intentions to become
a politician.
- Why is that?

Because when you become Prime Minister

you'll need good bureaucrats to create
bills for the Public Servant Revolution.

I want to be one of the ones doing that job
at the office.

I can see that you still have a lot of
adoration for your father.

No, it's not that.

If you reconsider come see me again.

'Morning.
- How'd you know that...

Morita told me.
He's a great guy, huh?

I'll take you back to the office.
- I'm fine.

Don't you wanna hear Rei-san's secret?

I'm actually investigating the
incident that

took your Mother's life.

And I found something juicy out.

Why're you investigating that?

For a book I'm writing.
- He~

There were 5 Japanese who died in the
incident.

Jikkun's mother, and her parents.

And Rei-san's parents.
- I know.

Rei-san was adopted after the accident
at age 14 by her uncle.

I know that too.

Did you know that her Uncle and Aunt died
rather young?

You didn't know, did you?

Rei-san's parents died in the plane crash.

And her relatives that took her in
died of sickness.

And her cousin she was living with at her Uncle's
also died at 17.

Pretty scary, huh?
- It's just a coincidence.

Every family she's involved with
dies early.

You came all the way here to tell me that?

Plus, her not having relatives is a lie.

She has them. But they're all
terrified of her.

They won't go near her.
- I can't believe that.

This is one of her distant relatives.
Why don't you go meet them?

I'm worried about your family.
You don't look well Jikkun.

Did you go meet this person?

Yes, I went and interviewed them.

"She's scary"

"That's why no-one will go near her"
they said.

You should leave that house as soon as
you can

Actually, why haven't I left that house yet?

...You're not thinking of
writing a novel about all this right?

Don't model it on Rei-san.

I'm a writer. Whatever I write
is up to me.

I'll take you back.
- I'm fine.

I said I'm fine...Quit i-

I'm going to protect you Jikkun.

Gokurousama*

You came.

This is the last time.

You've said that before.
And even so, here you are.

I guess you're worried about your
son?

Get talking.

This morning Hitoshi met with Muraki
at my Sports Gym.

That's it?

And his girlfriend drove him back to
his office

and he went to work.

He's skillful at using women,
just like you.

I'll send you the photos now.

Muraki and Hitoshi
and the girl and Hitoshi.

Oh? They came straight back.

I already know all about Hitoshi and
Muraki.

From Muraki's perspective Hitoshi
probably seems useful so

it's logical that he'd approach him.
I'm unsurprised by any of it.

Oh and, I changed my phone number
and email before,

so I won't be seeing you ever again.

I've been watching Muraki for you

ever since he became a member of my Gym.
Are you finished with that?

Scissors, paper rock...

You're weak Dad. Pineapple!

Scissors, paper, rock!
- I need to go.

Huh? We're almost home so
hold it in!

Hold it in, hold it in, hold it...

Dad

What's the matter?

Sometimes I like to walk too.

How about you try Miai again?*

But if I get rejected again like last time
it'll give you a bad image too.

That's no problem to me.

You won't be able to gain people's trust
if you keep single for too long.

But you married for love with Mom,
and with Rei-san too?

That just got lucky twice.

There are things that are more important than love
to a man.

Stop talking like a middle-schooler.
Act your age.

Rei-chan

Yeah?

Huh? You were here?
- Sorry.

Rei-chan
- What's up all the sudden?

I love you.
- Hey what are you...

The bubbles will get in my eyes.

Just let me watch this off.

Rei-chan.

Okaerinasai
- Tadaima

What happened?
I just my finger when

I was cleaning up the gates branches
- Clumsy.

Every family she's involved with
dies early.

What's the matter?
Ahhh...

Ee?
- Nothing.

What?
- It seems that Hitoshi met with

Muraki this morning at Onaka Sports.

Who cares.
- Ha?

Stop worrying about a small fish like
Hitoshi. Do what you SHOULD be doing.

If the authorities investigate
Muraki it'll all be over.

and you'll be free from all of this.

What's this?
Aa, I thought I'd try it out.

Do you want to work?
- Everyone has their own little
worlds but

all I have is this house and I'm
starting to get kind of lonely.

Who do you think you are?

You can't see the world that Hitoshi and
I see.

Don't go forgetting your true value just because
you're married to me.

If you had qualifications or where naturally gifted
at something that'd be different but

What job can you get at your age?

I understand that but...

If you want to do something go bad go and
learn another language.

That would be a lot more useful.

Rei-san doesn't seem very
happy lately.

She seemed so much more lively

10 months ago when she first came...

Yo!
- Good morning!

I've started to go jogging with
Muraki every morning.

If he wins the election

his first objective will be to make executives from
various Departments tender their resignations.

He'll make anyone who doesn't co-operate with
the Revolution quit.

I've also gotten more involved with the Japan
Revolution Party's manifest production.

Kenji has taken this years Bar Exam

and now he's waiting for the September results.

?Don't forget
to pick up your cloth???

Tadaima
- Okaerinasai

Hey, next Wednesday is Kazu-san's Birthday right?

Is it?
- Yeah. What do you do every year?

We don't do anything.

Could you come home early this time?
- Okay, sure.

Ah, I better tell Kenji too.
- It's okay, I will.

Thank you. I'm glad we could
talk like again.

Ah by the way...
- Yeah?

Dad has golf on Sunday right?
- Yeah

Okay, let's go search for a present on that day
- Ee?

We have enough neckties to start a tie-selling business
at home.

How about we get him slippers or something?
- Slippers?

It's something he'd use everyday?

Slippers huh~
Hmm, it's a bit lacking

Well I vote for slippers.
- Ee
Can I go now?

I have to go meet a friend at 2pm

If Bro stays it's fine right?
- Okay I'm off

Sorry!

What's with him?
It's not like him to hesitate.

Kenji isn't hesitating at all,

he's testing me.

Ah, how about a wallet?
- That's not a bad idea.

That's an interesting color.
- Yeah.

Does it have navy in it too?

How cute!
- Beautiful, huh?

Uwa-!
So expensive!

Wow they're overpowering.
- Yeah
I guess they're no good.

Hey, now I think about it
we actually first met

at a sweater store, huh?
- But it was nowhere near as nice as this one.

Right?

You never really wear
that sweat top anymore.

Ahh...Yeah I suppose I don't.

I don't want you wearing that
Ee?

Take it off.

Nee- I think we should go with
the slippers.
- Really?

It's a strange idea but I have
a good feeling about it.

Plus he'd use them everyday right?

That's good right?
- Yeah that's good.

Slippers?
- Yep, slippers after all that.

Hey Rei-san...
- Yes?

Don't you have any family?
- No, I don't

What about the Uncle who took you in and
his family?

They're dead.
All of them.

My Uncle and Aunt treated me

as if I was their real daughter
after my parents died,

they took good care of me.

But my my cousin who was the same age
as me didn't like that at all.

She stopped coming back home and

ended up dying in a traffic accident
at Shibuya in her second year at high school.

It's true.

It's as if I killed them.
- Don't say that.

And then my Uncle and Aunt

left with no daughter started to become
unwell

and died, as if they were following her to
the afterlife.

I did have some other relatives at the time
but

they all thought I had some sort of
"curse"

and none of them wanted to keep in contact
with me.
- How cruel.

Even though it wasn't your fault.
- I think it was my fault.

My existance was the problem.

If I hadn't gone to live with them...

Up until now I always though that

I would never be happy.

Until I met your father.

When I met your father in France
and told him all this, he said

"I'll make you forget it all".

But you guys all got on so along
at the house before

I came and, things seem weird now.

Nothing's weird!

I'm not an idiot.
I can tell.

We're just growing up, that's all.

Really...?
- It's not your fault.

I don't have any skills like you, your father
or Ken-chan

or academic history...

Or really anywhere to go.

That's why I want to be happy at that
house, whatever it takes.

I want to celebrate your father's
birthday and

I want to see him happy.

I want him to be happy that he
married me.

I want you and Ken-chan to be happy

that I came as well.
- I am happy you came.

I want to be happy that I'm alive.

I want to feel like for once that
I'm making other people happy

rather than unhappy.

Happy Birthday Dear.

Ahh yeah, I forgot about that.

Nee, what time can you be home tonight?

I think about 7pm?
- Really?
Yeah

I was thinking we could celebrate

Are the kids going to aswell?
- Yeah

Seems like everyone listens to what you say.

I want you to gather information for the budget ceiling of the Prime Minister's special project

before the start of next week.
- No problem.

Hello, it's Sano.
- I don't need all those photos.

** Ministry of Justice

I've directed you to go through the
MOJ** to make negotiations with Prosection Department

It's upto you to make it happen.

If you don't, your life at the
MOF will be over.

Ken-chan!
- Ou

What's the matter?
- This weirdo bumped into me and-

Huh! Really!?
- What are you doing here?

I came here to see an editor who's
in for a threatened miscarriage.

How nice of you.

I'm so nice.
Did you only just realise that?

Anyway Ken-chan it's good that you got off with
just a minor injury.

You could have died or something
- Haa?

Sano-san.
- Aa....

Good evening. What are you...?

I came to talk to your the Chief.

I think he should be home by now.

Actually, nevermind. I'll just...

Sano-san. Sano-san!
Wait a moment.

You came all the way here. I'll go get
my Dad.

No, it's fine! Really! I'll be going now.

Could you please tell the Chief that...

I can't do anything more for him.

And that I hope he'll forgive me.

Please!

Sano-san, when you said "you can't do anything
more"

Were you talking about Muraki and the Japanese
Revolution Party?

This is just my advice but

I think that it would be for the best

if you don't get too close to Muraki,
Hitoshi.

You're father is getting serious.

Tadaima.

Is someone here?

Aahh, I'm sorry that I'm late.

Those shoes at the door,
who's are they?

What're you pulling such a strange face
for?

** Japanese phrase used when imposing on someone's home

Ojyamashiteorimasu!**

Happy birthday!

Uhhh...That one over there is
my present to you.

Okay, I'll be leaving now.
- Wait.

You had a reason to come here,
right?

I came to talk to Hitoshi, and I did.

So now I'll be leaving.

What did the MOS's seceretariat
Sano come here for?

Just what are you using him for Dad?

Huh?

Sano-san is all weird because
of the jobs

that you're ordering him to do, isn't he?

I don't know what you're talking about, but yes
Sano isn't his usual self.

The leaking 6 months ago of the information
about

Muraki's sponsor corporations and the
investigations made by the Tax Department

to the Weekly Trend. Was that you?

Aahhh, that article from a while ago
in that Weekly magazine?

Before the Weekly Trend came out
you and Sano

knew all about it, didn't you?

Yeah, we did.

Of course I have that sort of
information network.

And the one that's being planning and
using Sano to end

Muraki was you all along, wasn't it?

And I'm guessing your the one who told the owner
of Onaka Sports

to watch Muraki too?

If it's true, please stop all
of this now.

Is this more of Muraki's brainwashing?

The fact you invited Muraki to your
conferences

is big news in Kasumigaseki.
Answer my question!

You're trying to do something impossible
Hitoshi.

There's no way the MOF can easily move
the Tax Department.

And I'm sure that you know that
yourself.

Okay then why is Sano-san
acting

so strangely then?
- How should I know?

And now my birthday's ruined.

Rei-chan, open some champagne.
I'm gunna go get changed.

Kazu,
answer Hitoshi's question please.

In a way I'll understand it too.
- It has nothing to do with you.

It does!

You don't need to know.
- Yes I do!

Who COULD stay quiet after seeing

what Sano-san was like before!

Kazu, when I ask you about your job

you always say I don't need to know.
But I have a heart too.

I have FEELINGS.

I'm sure that I've told you before that
my job at the MOF would be

impossible for you to understand.
- But we're married?

It should be okay for me to want to
know your goals,

or your worries shouldn't it!?

I'm not worried about anything.

Are you and Hiroko Onaka
still meeting eachother?

Not this again.

Hey, Hitoshi

What was it you were saying about him
making the owner of Onaka Sports watch Muraki-san?

Nee, Answer me!
- Stop acting like a detective

Why're you been condescending?

Well since we're talking about
marriage, I want to know

why you don't believe me?

Why do you doubt me about my job
and other women?

Why won't you just stay quiet
and believe me?

When you were looking at
Hitoshi's Miai photos you said

their father's status or their own
academic history were

importand when it came to marriage.

But I have neither.

So why did you marry me?

What was good about me?

I married you for love.

You love me but you don't find it necessary
to talk to me?

I'm not your pet dog or cat!

I can communicate with you, so why should
I have be left knowing nothing!?

I've never heard of a wife who doesn't commu...
I don't FEEL like communicating

If we're not on the same status level
there's no need to talk about it.

Plus, I'm giving you something no one else could

I'm giving you status.
Financially stability.

Even a family!

I'm giving you more than enough
love too.

You're getting a little bit
greedy asking for any more.

Remenber your place!
- Don't talk to her like that!

Love is not something that you "give"

It's something you share together.

How would you know? Idiot!

Thank you.

This happened once before, didn't it?

When we're sad the moon is always at its
most beautiful.

Rei-san.

Let's leave this house together.

It's not as if there's no place
to go.

I won't let anything bad happen to you.

I don't think Kazu really loves me.

The way you're playing with Jikkun and your husband disgusts me!

I don't think Dad could have imagined that we'd all

end up torn apart like this.

You've hurt Hitoshi and Kenji!

I've decided that
I want to protect her.

Even if it tears me away from Dad and Kenji
