What?

Hand grenades.

You're all under arrest.

Fukuko! Bottle up Daneihon and ship them out.

- Manpei-san! - And salt! Have the salt delivered to the Monopoly Bureau!

Got that? Fukuko! The salt too!

- Manpei-san! - Fukuko!

The night Manpei-san and the guys were taken away,

Katsuko Nee-chan and Tadahiko-san rushed over.

In the first place, why were hand grenades in the warehouse?

- You're asking the wrong person. I have no idea. - This was originally an Army facility.

Then it wouldn't be surprising to find weapons here.

Then why are they making such a big fuss?

Occupation Forces is in the process of recovering every last weapon and ammunition remaining in Japan.

Even more so if they suspect there was a conspiracy to plan a rebellion...

- There is absolutely no way that's true! - That's right.

Last May, there was an attempt to assassinate MacArthur, remember?

Where a man mixed in with the May Day crowd and was arrested for trying to throw a hand grenade.

Yes, I remember, but...

Ever since then, Occupation Forces have been tightening up their investigation and interrogation considerably.

What will happen if they can't prove their innocence?

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

Stop it! Are you trying to turn Gen into a fatherless child?

- Mom! - But that's what it means, isn't it?

I'm sorry, Fuku-chan. Such a terrible thing won't happen, I assure you.

But I feel bad for Shinichi-san.

After he finally came to work for our company.

That's right. I feel sorry towards Saki too.

Let's think about what we can do right now.

- But you said you couldn't find a lawyer, right? - Yes.

It would be useless to report it to the police too.

There's nothing we can do then.

Manpei-san wanted me to bottle up Daneihon.

- What? - He wanted the salt delivered to the Monopoly Bureau too.

This is not the time to be doing that.

But everyone was taken away.

If detention becomes prolonged, this company will go under.

I want to save everyone too.

For now, we can only do as Manpei-san said...

Yes, the only thing we can do is protect the company.

That night, Manpei-san was undergoing relentless interrogation by Occupation Forces.

Did you know that the place was formerly used as a warehouse by the Japanese Army?

Yes.

But I didn't know hand grenades were there.

How did you get a hold of that warehouse?

How...?

That was...

from a realtor introduced to me by a friend.

Who is this friend?

The thing is, there's an Army warehouse that still remains at a certain place.

- A warehouse? - A realtor friend of mine

wants to rent it to someone.

I can't tell you.

Why?

Because that person has nothing to do with this.

If you don't tell the truth, everyone around you will become miserable.

I wonder if Manpei-kun's interrogation is still going on.

Probably.

Um...

Sorry, guys.

Making you go through this because of us.

- What the heck, so you're regretting what you did? - You were defiant at first.

I don't know why I did that myself.

We had a lot of pent-up resentment.

We were fed up with all the work we had to do.

Yeah, it's the president's fault.

He suddenly starts making this Daneihon thing, and even though we're already busy with salt making,

he tells us to go get vegetable oil, or go get seaweed.

This is the result of getting pushed around by the president's self-indulgence.

- You know that's not true. - Kanbe-kun.

Saying you caught fish using hand grenades because you were busy is just an excuse!

That's right.

I agree with Morimoto. This is the president's fault.

- Let's stop this, guys. - Weren't we all saved by the president?

If Tachibana Salt Company didn't hire us,

- we would've been hoodlums by now. - You guys are such suckers!

- What did you say! - We may be tried in a military trial

and get sentenced to death, you know.

Stop saying things that stoke everyone's anxiety.

- Don't scare us like that. - But

they're saying we turned against Occupation Forces.

- How can we get sentenced to death? - It's all over for us.

- Don't be ridiculous! - You guys are too optimistic.

Let's cut this out!

What are you guys doing, huh?

Shut up and go to sleep.

Hey.

You said your name's Charlie?

No matter how I look at you, you're Japanese.

I'm 2nd generation Japanese-American. I'm an American soldier.

Then are you parents from Osaka?

Just like us.

Doesn't it break your heart to lock up fellow Japanese in jail?

Doesn't it!

I hate Japan.

I wish I could have been born a blond-haired Caucasian.

If you make trouble again,

I'll lock you up in solitary cell.

What did he just say?

He said he doesn't like Japan.

He wishes he was born a blond-haired Caucasian.

How did you understand?

I graduated from Osaka Imperial University, remember?

I can't speak English, but I can understand that much.

He wishes he was a born a Caucasian...

What does he mean by that?

He looked kinda frustrated.

I'm terribly sorry. We couldn't finish bottling the Daneihon in time...

Yes. We'll deliver then as soon as they're done.

I'm terribly sorry.

Let's feed you after we'd done with this, okay?

- Hello, Tachibana Salt Company. - This is Hatano with the Monopoly Bureau.

Oh, Hatano-san. I'm sorry about the delay of shipment.

When can we have it delivered? We're going to be in trouble if we don't get the salt by the due date.

I believe we'll be able to deliver it by close of business tomorrow.

Tadahiko-san, you must be tired, working all by yourself.

I'm tired too. Do we have to do this every day?

In any case, Daneihon has to be made.

We have to protect the company until Manpei-san and the guys come home.

When? When are they coming home?

Come on, stop acting like a child. Aren't you the daughter of a samurai?

- Car? - Are they home?!

Manpei-san?

I'm from Maihou Shimbun. Are you with Tachibana Salt Company?

- Yes. - Is it true that

your president and employees were taken away by Occupation Forces?

Were they collecting explosives and trying to rebel against Occupation Forces?

- No they weren't! - That's a lie!

The neighbors said they heard explosions.

- Were they conducting combat drills? - Don't be ridiculous.

- We're just an ordinary company! - Don't you dare write irresponsible articles!

Were you working for Yajima Securities?

Why did you decide to work for Tachibana Salt Company?

At my previous job, I worked thinking only about money.

I got fed up with that.

After my wife passed away, my outlook on life changed.

Also the fact that I fought and lost the war against you folks.

But the biggest reason is because I wanted to be of help to that couple.

Couple?

Manpei-kun, the president, and Fuku-chan.

Fuku-chan is the younger sister of my late wife.

Manpei-kun is trying to do work that is useful to the world without thinking of personal gain or loss.

And Fuku-chan is giving him steadfast support.

Hey, hey.

Are you trying to fool me?

What were you doing at that company?

Were you raising money for the coup d'etat!

No, I wasn't!

Tell me the truth!

If you don't tell the truth, everyone around you will become miserable.

Who helped you rent that warehouse?

I can't tell you!

I'm positive that person didn't know about the hand grenades either.

Fine, we'll find out on our own.

If we put our mind to it,

we can find out right away.

Move!

Arrested?

Leading a rebellion?

- Hello. - What the heck is this article talking about?!

Sera-san... It's an out-and-out lie.

There's no way Manpei-san would be thinking about a rebellion.

You mean the Occupation Forces is just assuming that Tachibana Manpei is the villain?

Get a lawyer then. You absolutely have to fight it.

I can't find anyone to defend them.

All the lawyers say there's no chance of winning against Occupation Forces.

What the hell is that! Isn't there a lawyer somewhere that has guts!

Katsuo Sera.

You told Manpei Tachibana about the warehouse, didn't you?

Huh?

You come with us. Get him!

What is this out of the blue! Something's wrong here!

Fuku-chan, help! I have nothing to do with this!

- Sera-san? - Help me, Fuku-chan!

Sera-san!
