Why don't you cut that out!

- What? - Can't you see you're hurting her? Let her go.

You're the one that's offensive.

Hello. Tachibana Salt Company.

Excuse me for bothering you so late at night. This is the Namba Police.

- What? Police? - What?

Do you have an employee by the name of Oka Kosuke?

Yes... What!

- What happened? - I'm terribly sorry.

Yes. Excuse me.

Fukuko.

Oka-san was caught by the police.

Oka was?!

President...

The other party only suffered minor injuries, and

the owner of the shop where they had the fight asked us to let it go too.

We'll go easy on him this time.

- Thank you very much. - We're terribly sorry for the trouble he caused.

- Here you go. Watch out, it's hot. - Thank you. It's really hot.

You tried to save the young lady, didn't you? You weren't in the wrong.

I'm sure that young lady is grateful to you.

Yes. That's why the shop owner asked that you be let go too.

- There's none. - Hm? - Huh?

- There's no octopus in here. - Huh?

- I'll give you mine. Here. - Here. There's some in mine too.

You don't need to wait on me like that...

I caused trouble for the company.

- No, that's no so. - Don't worry about it. Okay?

Isn't it hot?

May I go back first?

Sure.

Thanks.

He must've been in a bad mood.

How can we blame him? We could only pay him so little.

If we got on his case here, he may quit on us.

It sure is tough to manage people.

Endure, endure, Manpei-san.

- How do you expect me to endure this! - Mom.

In the first place, something was bound to happen

when you rounded up all those young men. They'll end up getting in trouble again, I assure you.

I'll be sure to keep my eye on them.

Someone may try to make a move on Taka.

- What? - Taka-chan?

What are you going to do if something should happen to Taka?

We won't let that happen.

- Don't worry, Taka-chan. - How can you say that for sure?

I'm amazed that a cute girl like Taka was safe until now.

- I'm not as cute as you think. - Don't be silly.

No one's as cute as you.

Grandma, you and Dad are the only ones who think so.

Then Mom, would you prefer that Taka-chan didn't come to our house anymore?

Are you saying that you don't need her help?

- Auntie Fukuko. - That won't do.

We need her to come on weekends. Plus, I'd want to see her too.

- Let me take it a little easy. - I know, right?

Then quit complaining this and that about Taka-chan.

Those guys aren't the kind of people to do that sort of things.

No matter what the circumstance, resorting to violence is out of the question,

Think about what you've done, Oka.

- Oka-san wasn't in the wrong. - He was just trying to save the girl.

- Wasn't it Oka who threw the first punch? - That may be true, but...

If we cause problems, the company's going to get into trouble.

We'd be causing problems for the President and Madam.

- We know that. - Then don't ever...

Why do we have to be told by you!

Since when did Kanbe become the leader?

Acting all high and mighty.

I was with Manpei-san since the very beginning.

- That's the only reason, isn't it? - What difference does it make?

- Just don't fight anymore. - Oka just needs to apologize.

- To who! - To us!

Why do I have to apologize to you all!

- You caused trouble for everyone! - That's right.

- Come on, let's cut this out. - Don't call us for something like this.

I'm fed up with all this.

Things are becoming strained?

Yes. A fight almost broke out.

Everyone must be getting stressed out.

That's why I told you. That you never know what's going to happen again.

Grandma.

All right. I'll go talk to everyone.

I don't think they'll reveal their true feelings in front of you.

Everyone knows that you and Madam feel bad for us.

Then I'll go tell them sternly that they need to get along with each other.

- I think that would make matters worse. - How come?

- What about a party to thank the employees? - A party?

Yes. Of course, their stress will go away if they get a pay raise, but

that's impossible for the time being. Then we can at least let our feelings be known.

So we're all going to thank them?

- Think of something you can do. - Sounds like fun!

That'll make everyone happy!

- Am I going to do it too? - Of course.

- Don't be silly. I am the daughter... - Never mind that.

I can't get in the mood to try to make everyone happy.

I'm doing it. If that'll bring everyone together.

Me too. I'll play the harmonica.

That's a good idea.

Good job, good job.

What the heck is this?

Thank the employees party.

Do they think this is thanking us?

Now then, I will "Song of the Apple" that everyone loves.

But just singing the song as is isn't any fun, so I'll sing it in English.

English?

♫｢Oh！ This is a red apple. I'll caress him with my lips.｣

♫｢Oh！ The blue sky｣

I didn't know Madam spoke English.

But what's the point in singing in English...

♫｢The red apple doesn't say anything.｣

We could've sang along if it was in Japanese.

♫｢I know how he feels｣

Tetsu.

Yes, boss.

Sadahachi.

What is it, Boss!

Tonight is the last time I'll be seeing Mount Akagi...

Kunisada Chuji*

My hometown of the village of Kunisada.

- I love this play! - Me too!

Abandoning my territory, and abandoning my hometown..

I'll have to say goodbye to you,

my faithful followers, for this new beginning.

Thanks.

President's up next.

Hello~!

I'm Manpei. She's Fukuko.

Uh... Please treat us kindly.

You folks from Tachibana Salt Company, talking standing up is a little uncomfortable so

let's sit... Oh, you're already sitting down!

Manpei-san said he can't do this by himself,

so we're going to be doing a husband wife comedy show.

Husband and wife show!

Have you ever heard of chow chow?

I have! It's a big dog from China, isn't it?

That's right. The other day, at a department store in Tokyo,

there was an exhibition of fine dogs and rare dogs,

and I went there to take a look.

Exhibition of fine dogs and rare dogs.

I saw a chow chow there.

It was all hairy and I couldn't tell where its eyes or mouth were.

It was a very interesting dog.

I told you I know!

- President sucks at this. - He sounds like he's just reading off something!

I saw plenty of chow chows when I went to the continent as a soldier!

- Is this supposed to be a comedy show? - I don't see the punch line coming at all.

Oh! That dog coming this way. Isn't that chow chow*?

Chow chow?

- Chow chow! - Chau.

Chau?

Chau, chau. Chow chow chau!

- Thank you very much! - What~!

What was that!

President!

Well, it wasn't that funny, but...

But we could tell that they were all trying to please us.

- They sure were. - Great Madam worked hard too.

And Taka-chan was cute.

That's all you care about.

Oka... I'm gonna forget about that now.

Let's work hard from tomorrow again.

Yeah.

- You guys too... - We told you, stop acting like our leader.

We were going to without being told. Right?

- Yeah. - That's right.

Fine, then.

Good job, everyone.

- Gosh, I'm exhausted. - Me too.

You ought to be happy, Mother. They liked your act.

- They liked your act too, Uncle Manpei. - I wouldn't say they liked it.

I should have known better than to try to do a comedy act.

They were enjoying it, I tell you.

Yes. Oka-san was all smiles too.

I'm sure our feelings got conveyed to them.

Why do we have to do things like that?

Managing people is really tough.

Don't worry. You can do it, Manpei-san!

Thank goodness the thank you party was a great success.

But that didn't mean

the problem was solved, of course.
