Original subtitles

The people making salt are getting disgruntled, I hear.

- Disgruntled? - That President only cares about Daneihon

and has forgotten about them.

Don't tell me every time trivial things like that happen!

It's because we're husband and wife... Because Gen is our child.

I want to concentrate on work!

I'll leave the child rearing to you.

- They were fighting? - I was shocked.

Uncle Manpei and Auntie Fukuko were yelling at each other.

- No way. - I tell you, it's true.

Are you sure?

I'm so glad your fever's down.

He was sweating a lot last night,

but everything had settled down by morning.

What was Manpei-san doing?

He spent the whole night at the workshop...

He didn't even come to see how Gen was doing?

You can't let him get away with it.

You either win or lose a marital dispute.

In the first place, my ancestor is Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

His ancestor was a mere foot soldier.

- Things like that aren't... - Anyway...

I know that I shouldn't be putting up with it all the time.

That's right.

Even if Manpei-san's in a bad mood, I won't hold back!

- Yes! - Fukuko.

How is Gen doing?

You don't have a fever anymore. That's a relief.

Right? Fukuko.

We tried a different mixture for Daneihon.

Mother, if you don't mind, can you try tasting it too?

- What! - Look.

I'll be waiting for you downstairs. You too, Mother.

Here you go.

It tastes nasty.

- What? - And you, Taka-chan?

If you're asking me if it tastes good or bad, I'd have to say it's bad.

But it's not like you're going to be selling this yet, right?

- What if you put sugar in it? - It's too expensive.

What can we do!

Nutritious food, huh?

No one's going to pay money to buy something like that.

If we don't make him quit soon, your investment will go to waste.

Now, now. Let's wait and see for a while.

I'm sure Tachibana-kun has various thoughts in mind too.

He's certainly skilled at making things.

But when it comes to business...

You can't just chase after short-term gains.

You also need to look at things in the long run.

You're absolutely right.

To Taka?!

He's making advances.

Kanbe-san's older than Taka-chan by 10 years.

He may already have gotten to her.

What?!

I'll see you again next week then, Taka-chan.

Summer break will be starting soon so I'll be able to stay longer next time.

- Oh, yeah? - But I'm worried about Auntie Fukuko and Uncle Manpei.

Outsiders can't tell what's going on with a married couple, but

if they start fighting again, I'll step in and talk to them.

- Please do that. - Leave it to me. - Bye then.

- I'm closing the door. - Thanks.

- You two are close as always. - Oh, stop that, Sakuma-san.

Here we go then.

Take care.

Take care.

Summer break, huh?

Did you make a move on Taka?

Great Madam...

- Did you? - I did not.

I haven't even held her hand. That's the truth.

I won't let you get away with it if you deceive Taka.

- I mean it! - Yes, ma'am!

Your dad wants to make something that would make everyone happy.

I want to concentrate on work!

What can I do!

Fukuko... Fukuko...

Saki Nee-chan.

You know that Manpei-san doesn't have any ill intent, don't you?

Making up for each other's shortcomings is what husband and wife are supposed to do.

When Manpei-san gets absorbed in work and loses sight of everything around him,

you have to help him out.

Saki Nee-chan...

That goes for Gen-chan too. It's because you're taking good care of him as his mother,

that Manpei-san can entrust him to you with an easy mind.

Dream...

What can we do, huh? Gen-chan.

- Man, it's hot. - It's so hot I can't go to sleep.

I can't either.

Oka.

Is it true that Daneihon's incredibly nasty tasting?

We heard from Akatsu. That it tastes so bad it's not fit to eat.

Hey, you trying to pick a fight?

We're making salt in this damn heat.

You guys have it easy, making things that won't even sell.

We're working up a sweat everyday making Daneihon too.

But it seems you have time to secretly meet Taka-chan, huh?

So it was you who told Great Madam about us.

He said about us. Did you hear that?

You guys are just jealous. Why can't you take it like a man?

- What did you say? - It's the truth.

You'd better not get carried away.

- What?! - What's that?

What is going on!

Hey! What are you guys doing!

Oka! Hey!

Kanbe-san. Komatsubara-kun, you too. Stop it!

- What's so great about Daneihon! - What did you say!

That's enough~!

Getting into a brawl in the middle of the night.

- You're old enough to know better! - Mom.

What happened? Akatsu!

He's asleep.

Kanbe! What happened!

These guys making salt is jealous of us guys making Daneihon.

- We're not jealous! - They just rub us the wrong way.

- That's what's called jealousy! - Hey, cut that out!

Does this mean our employees are divided into two groups and are in conflict with each other!

This is the President's fault, Manpei-san!

- Fukuko, you tell him too. - Mom, stop it. Mom.

Guys, let's stop it. We'll go to sleep quietly so please bear with us.

Let's go to sleep. Kanbe-san and Komastubara too.

Oka and Morimoto. Go to sleep too.

It's over now. Okay?

What?

Let us go to sleep too. Okay?

W-why is it over now?

I'm surprised Gen-chan slept through it all.

He may turn out to be a big shot in the future.

It's my fault.

It's because I didn't have it together as president that everyone started...

If you want to make everyone in the world happy, you have to make people around you happy first.

I'm sorry, Fukuko.

You don't have to apologize to me.

I left child rearing all to you.

That's how men are.

I'll make more time for the three of us from now on.

Thank you.

Aren't you happy too, Gen-chan?

And I've got to give more thought to those guys making salt too.

Why are you forgiving him so easily?

I'm sure Manpei-san's going to get carried away again and...

Before all that uproar started last night, Saki Nee-chan appeared in my dream.

She chided me that making up for each other's shortcomings

is what husband and wife are supposed to do.

Why would Saki appear in your dream?

I thought she was absolutely right.

She never appears in my dream.

Your dad is sure to be a good husband.

And a good president too.

Listen up, guys.

I thought about it last night.

From now on, I'm thinking about getting everyone involved in making Daneihon.

Everyone?

In the future, Daneihon will surely be produced on a commercial basis.

When that happens, we'll need a large amount of beef bones, vegetable oil, salt, and seaweed.

Those of you who have been making Daneihon up to now will secure beef bones and vegetable oil.

Those of you who have been making salt will secure salt and sea weed.

- We are? - Getting seaweed? - In large quantity.

Are we diving for seaweed after making salt?

We have to catch fish too, don't we?

That's tough.

Manpei-san.

We're comrades! Let's unite and get Daneihon ready.

- But President... - That's a little...

That's not it, Manpei-san.

Let's do it!

Let's do it! Let's do it!

Let's do it.

- Let's do it! - Let's do it.

- We're gonna do it! - We're gonna do it.

- Let's do it! - Let's do it.

We're just getting more and more work to do!

That's right. I can't take it anymore!
