So? How's life in heaven?

I've finally entered the same ranks of the rich as you.

Mikuni Family...?

Who are you?

How do you know that!?

What the hell is this?

You were screwing with me!

Who did this?

I have the card, Master Futaro.

Futaro-kun?

Is something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

Haru-chan, are you all right?

Mikuni Shipbuilding

Good morning!

Industry reorganization seems to be continuing further domestically.

Showa Shipbuilding is good at building the LNG carriers we're weak at.

Won't we have a compatible relationship?

It's fine as long as there isn't anything that will tarnish the traditional 'Mikuni' sign.

What do you think, Futaro-kun?

Yes.

Certainly, in itself, a merger for the benefit of having a larger production scale isn't a bad idea.

However, Showa Shipbuilding may soon have to pay the price for the Sasebo factory's rapid investments.

If you think 10 or 20 years into the future, that company doesn't seem to have much potential for growth.

My son-in-law sure is eager to learn.

He studies way more than you all. Don't let your guards down!

You never know where outstanding talent is sleeping. Yeah?

No, not at all.

I'm just desperate since I'm starting from zero.

A promotion seems quick here. He'll be at the department head level before you know it.

You may be right.

There's no way a person like me could become a department head.

No way I could become a department head...

I'm going to become the president.

It seems that threats and harassments have been continuing recently.

We're still getting a lot of threatening e-mails and suspicious mail.

We've discussed this with the police and are strengthening the security.

Someone must hold a grudge against the company.

I don't know about that.

Even during difficult times, I never held a grudge against the company

It must also depend on the person.

The other day the police got a tip that there was a dead body buried in my yard.

What elaborate harassment. Good grief...

Yeah, Futaro-kun?

Yes, really.

Vicious.

When the economy gets bad, we're the villains.

We're evil even if we do things that must be done to protect the company

It amounts to undue resentment. It's not like we're volunteers, we're desperate too.

I'd be happy if we could be friends.

You should definitely stop this.

I can only do things that help you trust me.

He isn't such a beautiful person.

Futaro-kun!

I will trust you.

Akane-chan.

What?

What's wrong?

You happy?

I'm happy.

Really.

Why?

Well...

I was wondering if marriage is happiness.

It's a simple question from your single older sister.

I don't think it's being married that's happiness.

It's just that I'm happy being married to Futaro-san.

Oh, is that right?

My goodness.

It's just...

There's just one thing that bothers me.

All he ever does is study for work.

He's desperate too.

I know.

They're back.

Welcome home!

Who did you say that to?

Both of you.

Welcome home.

I'm home.

Good work today.

And that one?

God! I'm gonna get angry!

Welcome home.

I'm home.

I'm home.

Excuse me.

Black tea.

I'm so sorry!

What the hell are you doing!?

I'm sorry.

Akane.

Don't speak that way.

Haru-chan isn't a servant.

She's properly doing her job.

It's not like she serves you or the Mikuni family.

You know that, right?

I hate that kind of behavior.

Yes.

Thanks, Haru-chan.

It's alright.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Oh, don't worry about it anymore.

You don't hate me now, do you?

Nope.

I was a little happy being scolded.

No one...

...could ever get angry.

Everyone...

...pitied me so they couldn't get angry.

I love you.

I'm so happy you came to this world for me.

That's why I can live.

I wouldn't be able to live if you were gone.

Please stay with me forever.

I'm right here.

Excuse me!

What's up?

We just received a bomb threat on the building.

What!?

Move! Move!

I'm sorry!

Thanks.

Please keep moving quickly!

Sorry for asking you to come here.

It's fine.

Relax!

I won't tell the cops.

In the end, since birth, life hasn't been good at all.

Money. Money. Money.

Everyone has become unhappy because of money.

My mom and dad too.

Money. Money. It's money.

My dad got into debt and committed suicide.

My mom too.

She got tired of repayment and committed suicide.

I'm the only one left.

You know, suddenly...

I've started to hate them.

Those rich bastards.

I've started to want to do something to them.

Why do I have to go through this because I don't have any money?

I've started to want to take revenge out on someone.

So?

Are you satisfied now?

It felt kinda good for that second.

But nothing's gonna change.

But I want to do something.

It's like...

I want to leave behind proof that I was alive.

Why?

You know...

I'm gonna die soon.

Cancer.

I know.

Unbelievable, huh?

There wasn't...

There wasn't anything good.

I want a doctor who'll discuss deep things with me.

You know...

He must have a little bit of happiness around him.

It's important to find him.

I searched.

I searched.

That guy that had a little bit of happiness around him...

...didn't exist anywhere.

That doesn't exist for me.

Makes you wonder what kind of life this is.

It may be happier for a poor person to die.

There's nothing good even if you live a long time.

Let me tell you now.

What I'm about to tell you is not my opinion as a cop.

But my own persistent, personal ideas.

Do you still want to hear about Gamagori Futaro-kun?

Yes. Please.

The story starts here.

Man Murdered at the Yamanoura Fishing Port?

Yamanoura Newspaper Scholarship Student Murder Case. The suspect has yet to be found. Why would such a diligent and excellent young man be killed?

22 year old newspaper scholarship student beaten to death at the fishing port on the 27th at 3 am.

Everything from here on leads to right now.

Don't you think it's bad telling a civilian your personal opinions?

It's be bad if they find out.

She promised to not tell the police, yo.

'Yo'...

Give me a break!

So...

What will that girl do?

It's likely that thug was also his training.

He'll go that far.

Your friend may have been killed too.

It's money.

His motivation is entirely money.

That's also why he got close to your sister.

You're amazing.

Why?

Why did you tell me that?

Why to me?

I wonder why.

You trust me?

You...

...may be another me.

Hey.

Is there anything I can do?

For you.

Because...

You're not giving me to the cops for that, right?

Right?

You thought I could be useful.

I understand.

You're another me.

I want to help you out.

Because...

You're going to live forever.

That's why...

I want to help you out.

We're friends, right?

Yeah.

We're friends.

Oh my, oh my, the young master is in a place like this.

You've got that expression again.

I saved you, didn't I?

Well, I was the one who gave the tip though.

Were you scared? I bet you were!

So who was that dead body?

Well...

Doesn't really matter.

Money!

Don't worry. I still have some. Still.

You know...

What do you plan to do?

You planning on taking over that company?

Don't do it.

You know...

That's impossible.

The other day I went to an onsen with the money you gave me.

I lived it up. I really did.

But...

You should have seen the way the lady running the inn looked at me.

Some part of her was looking down on me.

Well, after all, we're poor people, Futaro-chan.

We may be able to become rich, but...

We can't become rich people.

Rich people, you know.

You get it?

You know...

Aren't you fine as you are?

Isn't this enough?

Well, I'm gonna take a little pocket money from you to live, so it's fine.

I have the evidence.

How much?

How much do I have to give you...

...for you to die?

Like a billion?

Okay.

Die then.

Futaro-chan.

Shall I tell you something as a parent?

In this world...

There are things you can't buy with money.

For instance, love?

Friendship?

Just kidding.

If I can't buy it, I don't need it.

Pay Phone

Yes.

It's me.

I thought it'd be bad to leave a call record.

I decided to build a grave with the money you gave me.

For my parents.

Of course, I'm going in there too though.

I see.

I'm mentally prepared.

I'm going to do it.

All right.

Hey.

At the factory...

You saved me.

Remember?

That time...

I was happy.

Also...

The time you told me your secret.

I...

...was happy.

I was happy thinking of us as friends.

Thanks.

How rare for Midori to skip breakfast.

Yeah...

Well then.

Shall we do our best at work again today?

Yeah, Futaro-kun?

Yes.

Futaro-kun.

Are you going to the factory today?

Yes, at 5 o'clock this evening.

I'd like you to come somewhere with me before that.

Where to?

Oh, somewhere...

I don't need the car today.

Understood.

Mikuni Family Tomb

This is Futaro-kun.

You were so, so worried about Akane. This is her husband.

The Mikuni family's new family member.

Sorry for making you come with me.

Not at all.

Hey.

Can I ask you for one more thing?

Yes.

Mikuni Jouji

Umm... Is it that unusual?

No, excuse me.

Sorry.

I wasn't able to eat at the restaurants I wanted to go to very much.

That must've been tough.

We can't go to the restaurants we want to, but it's because of a different reason.

Why?

Because we don't have any money, of course!

But the other day Onii-chan went to the cabaret club on the corner.

Hey!

What? Hey, what?

No, no, no. She mistook someone else for me.

There's no way your little sister would mistake someone else for you!

You look good in a suit.

Thanks.

So you got a job?

Yeah.

Hey, hey!

Right, right. That's where the story starts.

And... you got married?

And I became a father-in-law.

I really wanted a son.

Hey, this is developing too fast, Onii-san! We can't keep up!

That's right! Until the other day all you'd ever eat was the wrasse special.

What's that wrasse special?

Wrasse is fish you would normally throw away.

I don't know if you would like it.

May I have some?

Yes!

Come on, come on!

Delicious.

Right, right?

It's cheap fish, but if you put your heart into making it, it's delicious.

In the first place, why wrasse, you know...

When I talk about this...

...it's embarrassing...

And may be rude to you.

When I was young...

I ran away from home once.

Ran away from home?

I couldn't stand being the son of a rich family anymore.

I wanted to try living on my own.

I lived and worked at a lot of construction sites.

What you'd call a day laborer.

I met a woman there.

She was a wonderful person.

She was simple, without ambition.

But always smiling.

It made me think that happiness without money does exist.

From the grave a little bit ago?

No.

My parents found me and brought me back.

I left her then.

I was a little relieved then.

When they brought me back...

I was relieved.

Futaro-kun.

Yes.

A lot has happened, but I like you.

It was my dream to be with my son like this.

There's no alcohol though.

On the house.

Wow... Why are men...

Shall we drink?

Well...

One glass or so should be fine.

Well.

Pay Phone

Excuse me.

What did you want to talk about?

Akane.

It's about Futaro-kun.

What?

I think it's all a lie.

A lie?

According to plan?

Hello?

No.

We're going to be walking.

Oh.

The rest is the same, right?

Yes.

Understood.

Well then.

I'm going to do it.

I'm counting on you.

I think he...

...married you...

...to get into this family.

It's all a lie.

You understand, Akane?

He's a terrible person.

Man that was fun.

Yeah, Futaro-kun?

Let's go to Izuya again!

Wrasse special.

Yes, let's go again.

I'm sorry, Mr. President.

I left something at the restaurant.

I'm going to go get it.

Are you all right by yourself?

Factory guys sure are surprising.

I came walking by myself.

How amusing.

Well then, I'll be back soon.

Mikuni-san, right?

That's right.

Onee-chan.

So what?

I don't care about that, Onee-chan.

Why not?

I don't care what he is after.

I thought that might have been the case.

Otherwise he wouldn't have picked me.

I don't care what he did.

I don't even care if he's a murder.

That's completely fine.

I'm with him.

I love him.

And I will certainly..

...make him love me.

Certainly.

You couldn't understand.

You couldn't possibly.

I'm going to take you with me.

It's fine, right?

You've had a happy enough life, right?

I get it.

I have to write a will too.

I'll make it clear that I did everything on my own.

But...

Can I ask some naive questions?

The way you are now isn't good enough?

Because...

You seem happy enough.

You're the son-in-law of a rich family now.

You have a respectable job too.

It's not good enough?

Naive question number 2.

Aren't you scared?

Of failing...

Or of being found out.

I don't have any other choice.

I see.

Speaking of which...

My late mother said this...

People who will do anything for money...

...are called zeni geba.

I don't really get it.

But isn't it kinda cool?

Hey.

Don't lose.

To money.

Okay?

I'm not wrong...

I'm not wrong.

I'm not wrong.

What's wrong?

Father was...

Father was...!

I am zeni geba.

It's money! Money!

You all are like that too.

It's money, right?

You all want money, right?

Come on! Fight over it!

You're in the way! Move!

Scramble for it more repulsively!

Are you okay?

I'm not wrong.

I'm not wrong!

Well then.

A word from Mikuni Shipbuilding's new president please.

I'll always take care of and protect you.

Hey, Onee-chan, say something!

You know how it feels to hate rich people, right?

You promised you'd die when I gave you a billion.

I didn't know what else to do!

I can't see mom.

Because I can't go to heaven.
