It's finally ready, huh?

Easy and nutritious, Daneihon, huh?

- It's not selling? - As we expected, everyone's wary of the price and taste...

The idea of dishing out money for nutritious food doesn't exist in this world.

- Please let me work at Manpei-san's company. - Shinichi-san...

We're going to sell Daneihon to hospitals.

There must be lots of people hospitalized for malnutrition.

Yes, that might be a good idea.

- This is Onozuka Shinichi-san. - I'm Onozuka.

Shinichi-san will be in charge of accounting and marketing from now on.

I look forward to working with you all.

Pleased to meet you.

We look forward to working with you.

So I don't have to do the bookkeeping anymore, Manpei-san?

The ledger I've been keeping all this time is useless now?

That's not the case, Mother.

I don't know the company very well yet,

so please teach me various things.

Shinichi-san says that he can't get any work done if you're not around.

Is that so?

Great Madam must be like a special consultant.

Well, yes.

- Special Consultant! - Special Consultant!

Special Consultant, they said! That's awesome, Mom.

Well, I may not be averse to being a special consultant.

Please do it.

- All right. - President!

- Ohmiya Sensei. - This man is a lecturer at Osaka Imperial University,

- and has been giving us advice on Daneihon... - We got the license!

Ministry of Health and Welfare gave us approval to sell Daneihon wholesale to hospitals!

Really? That's great news.

- Mom. - What is this about?

From now on, we can make Daneihon at full force!

We can make money!

A little longer.

Bottles for commercial use have arrived.

Daneihon came to be known to hospital personnel as nutritious and easily digestible,

orders started coming in immediately.

Everyone was getting so proficient at saltmaking too that they were like professionals,

and Manpei-san's company was on the right track.

Everything was going smoothly.

However...

What is it now?

They say I'm the special consultant, but I have nothing to do.

Tachibana Salt Company.

Shinichi-san took my bookkeeping job,

and I ended up being just a kitchen maid.

You were complaining that it was too hard to take care of everyone while doing bookkeeping too.

Making meals day in and day out...

Now that Akatsu's gone to that side,

I have to do everything.

I'm doing it with you too, aren't I?

You have to take care of Gen-chan.

I'm his mother, after all.

I have to make meals day in and day out...

Taka-chan comes over to help you!

Eat well and work hard.

- Thanks, Taka-chan. - You're welcome.

Aren't Kanbe-san's rice balls huge?

- They sure are. - They're much bigger than ours.

We're not putting all the burden just on you, Mom.

I don't need the title of special consultant anymore!

Oh, please~ Mom.

- It's painful for me to teach Shinichi-san this and that.. - Huh?

I can't help but be reminded of Saki.

Mother. I'm not sure how to enter salt inventory.

Can you show me how?

I'll be right there.

Thanks.

We're supplying Daneihon to hospitals all over Osaka.

We improved the taste so that it's easier to eat, and it's reputation's getting better.

Oh, yeah? You're doing great.

Chairman Mitamura, selling well just in Osaka won't amount to much profit.

Hold off on the big talk until you start getting orders from all over Japan.

That's where you come in, Sera-san.

If I can ask Sera Trading Company to sell it nation-wide...

Me? Not a chance.

Selling to hospitals is like doing volunteer work.

I don't get involved in business that's not profitable.

That's wrong, Sera-kun.

- That's wrong. - Yes?

I have a classmate who became a judge, Tachibana-kun.

He had an extremely strong sense of justice.

Just because he became a judge, he didn't try to act big,

and he led a truly humble life.

But that sense of justice

is what killed him.

When the war ended and everything was in shortage,

most people had no choice but to buy rice and vegetables from black marketeers.

But he didn't consider that to be acceptable.

He said a judge, who is supposed to be the guardian of the law, could not accept illegal behavior.

But then, there was no way for him to obtain food.

He grew thinner and thinner.

People around him begged him to bend his belief just this one time.

Yes. Of course, I said that too.

But he didn't budge.

And eventually, he starved to death.

Starved to death?

If that Daneihon existed back then,

perhaps he wouldn't have had to die.

So what if only hospitals would buy them?

Tachibana-kun made a meaningful thing.

Am I wrong, Sera-kun?

No, you're absolutely right.

Then go sell them for him.

Sera Trading Company should sell this Daneihon all over Japan.

Thank you!

Here.

I'm so glad.

It's thanks to you. It's because you encouraged me and

and brought Shinichi-san over, and...

you take good care of everyone while raising Gen.

I'm truly grateful to you, Fukuko.

I just did what I was supposed to do.

But... I just don't know what to do about Mom.

She says she's reminded of Saki Nee-chan when she sees Shinichi-san.

I think it's best to wait and see for something like this.

You mean time will solve the problem?

Yeah.

I don't think Mom will be able to wait.

Unless something really big happens.

That something really big actually happened.

Mom...

Mom.

Saki?

- Yes. - Oh, Saki! You finally appeared.

Appeared? You make me sound like a ghost.

Why do you come to see Fukuko but not me?

You're mean, Saki.

I'm sorry. I have things to do too.

- That aside, Mom. - What is it?

Please don't dislike Shinichi-san.

You know it too, don't you?

That Shinichi-san just wants to help Fukuko and Manpei-san.

He worries about you too, Mom.

I do know that.

Then try to get along with Shinichi-san,

Pretend that he's me.

No one can replace you, Saki.

If you're not nice to Shinichi-san, I won't appear for you anymore.

Saki!

Please, Mom.

All right. I'll be nice to him.

Thanks, Mom. I love you.

Saki!

Saki...

Saki's warmth...

- Good morning. - Shinichi-san. Oh!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You're wearing a suit.

You don't have to dress up like that to work here.

I feel uneasy if I don't dress properly when I start working.

Good morning, Mother.

Oh my, Shinichi-san. You came in a suit today.

If I'm working...

He said he feels uneasy if he's not dressed properly.

That's what it is.

Hurry up and eat.

I'm sorry. We're still eating breakfast.

I'll get some tea for you so have a seat.

I got too fired up and came too early.

We finally got a decent employee.

Sorry for being dressed like this all the time.

W-what is this?

It's an investigation by the Occupation Forces.

Occupation Forces?!

We were informed that explosions were heard down by the ocean.

We were informed that explosions were heard down by the ocean.

Explosions?

Where are you hiding the weapons?

Where are you hiding the weapons?

Hey!

Weapons?

There are no such things. It must be a mistake...

Sit down!

No one...

move.

I've never even thought of anything like rebellion.

You'll be tried in military trial and worst case scenario,

you may be sentenced to death.

Week 10 "I am the Daughter of the Daughter of a Samurai!"

I have nothing to do with this!

I'm guarding you guys carefully

so that you don't collaborate on your story.

It would be difficult to help Tachibana-kun.

Manpei-san and the others' fate may be up to us.
