Who helped you rent that warehouse?

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

A realtor friend of mine wants to rent it to someone.

I can't tell you!

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

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!

Sera-san was taken away?

I heard English so I think it was the Occupation Forces.

- Occupation Forces again. - And Sera-san was saying

- "Fuku-chan, help!" - What were they saying in English?

That, I didn't understand very well.

Fukuko, I let you study English all those years. Why don't you understand?

I told you, if you don't use English, you forget it!

That's true. I was forced to study for years too, but I can't speak a word now.

Katsuko!

I wonder why Sera-san was taken away.

Probably because Sera-san introduced us to the realtor

who helped us rent this place.

Sure, I did get a referral fee from the realtor.

But it was a meager amount. Not hardly enough to make it a crime.

I do have this thing called conscience, you know.

He talks a lot.

- That there were hand grenades in that warehouse... - I never even dreamed of such a thing.

Look, the old Japanese Army's weapons are being found all over the place.

This could go on forever if you make a big fuss every time you find something.

You and Manpei Tachibana...

Tachibana-kun will never plot a rebellion against Occupation Forces.

Was it you guys who had that newspaper article written?

That was a dirty trick you pulled.

Tachibana-kun is a kindhearted man who can't even get himself to get in a fight.

I know it well, since we're buddies who ate ramen together.

If you destroy Tachibana-kun for a worthless thing like this, it will be a great loss for Japan.

That's right. As far as you're concerned, you don't care what happens to Japan, huh?

Let me rephrase that then. It's a great loss for Asia.

And try destroying me. It's a great loss for the world! It's "lost world"!

Why this guy?

What are you muttering to the mirror?

What a handsome guy, if I do say so myself.

Anyway, Tachibana-kun is not a bad guy.

If he says he was catching fish with hand grenades, it's got to be true.

If you think he's lying, why don't you actually go there and try for yourself?

But before that, let me out of here.

Don't worry.

You'll be with the others.

Good, as long as you understand.

What the hell! This is bullshit!

- Another weirdo's here, huh? - Who the heck are you!

- That's Charlie. - He's our watchdog.

Charlie? Any way I look at you, you're a stereotypical Osakan.

I'm an American. I'm not like you morons.

Who do you think you are? Speaking hokey English out of the blue.

- You'd better not, Sera-san. - If you go against Charlie

- he'll lock you up in solitary confinement. - No way.

I have your fate in my hand.

I'll let you slide for today.

I'm sorry. For dragging you into this because of me.

That's for sure.

But Manpei-kun never told them your name.

That may be so, but your defense is too soft, Tachibana-kun.

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm sorry.

Sera-san, you're the one who referred him to that warehouse, aren't you?

What are you gonna do about it is our line!

What did you say?

What is this, what is this, what is this...

You're just picking a fight with me.

Idiots.

Manpei Tachibana. Come on.

Sera-san did nothing wrong.

What a wonderful friendship.

According to that guy, destroying Manpei Tachibana

would be a great loss for Japan.

Are you that great of an inventor?

If you are, it seems you'd be capable of making new weapons to attack us.

I do not make weapons.

Many people died in the war.

Even now, the city is full of people suffering from malnutrition.

Someone has to save those people!

I don't have time to have ridiculous thoughts

of fighting with you guys again!

Finding a lawyer would probably be impossible.

Does that mean no lawyer will be willing to take on the case?

You'd have to go against the Occupation Forces.

Are you suspecting Manpei-san too, Mitamura-san?

No, no. I believe in him. But frankly, it would be difficult to help Tachibana-kun.

Even if we do get an attorney for him, as far as they're concerned,

Japanese laws mean nothing to them.

The fate of Tachibana-kun and others will depend on what the top people in the Occupation Forces think about it.

That's what it's contingent on.

But you can't give up.

When they find out that he's really innocent, even they can't

forcibly try them in court.

Tachibana-kun will be released.

Thank you.

I won't lose hope. If you'll excuse me.

They'll all come home.

Yes, they'll come home for sure.

Hello.

Yes?

- Are you all right, Fukuko-san? - We read the paper.

Fuku-chan.

Oba-chan... Why is Hana-chan here with you guys?

I read the paper too and got worried about you...

We just happened to meet out there and came together.

You haven't been eating, have you? We brought you ramen.

- Eat before the noodles get soggy. - Eat, eat.｡

Here you go.

- It's delicious! - Thank you so much, Oji-chan.

I'm sorry we only brought three.

We thought Fuku-chan and Suzu-san, and maybe Taka-chan would be here.

We didn't think there would be four of you.

Don't worry about me.

Let's eat together. Here.

It must have scared Gen-chan too, when the Occupation Forces came suddenly.

It's good!

We didn't feel like cooking at all,

and we haven't had anything decent to eat for a couple of days.

I thought I didn't have any appetite, but that obviously wasn't the case.

- People get hungry no matter what. - That's true.

My husband's worried too.

The hand grenades were in the warehouse, but you didn't use them, right?

But the men from Occupation Forces said some people heard explosions.

That can't be true.

That's right.

Actually...

one of our customers was saying that

he saw some young men throwing hand grenades at the beach down there.

They were throwing it towards the sea.

- Did that person report that to Occupation Forces? - Maybe so.

That they were conducting combat drills to attack Occupation Forces.

Combat drills?

- Takagi-san, Nomura-san. - Sakai-kun.

- Madam! - Great Madam!

Because of us...

Why are they here?

Madam... Madam!

Madam!

Fukuko! Mom!

It was here.

We threw them from here.

Hey, hey. Back off!

What are they planning to do?

- Throw it. - Yes, Sir.

Can't see any fish.

Looks like you were lying.

That's impossible!

Normally, lots of fish come floating up!

Why today of all days!

- Go back to the car. - Wait a minute!

One more time!

- Do it one more time! - Please!

- Something's definitely wrong! - This is unbelievable!

Nomura-san! Sakai-san! Takagi-san! Nomura-san!

They said they were throwing hand grenades to catch fish.

But that...was a lie.

Lie?

Too bad, huh?

Then who are they throwing at!

Are you saying they were planning to throw them at you people?

Manpei-san will never do that!

My...

husband never ever does anything like that!

What's going on, Fukuko?

- No fish came up? - How come?

We don't know.

Usually, there were lots that came floating to the top.

The fishes are in cahoots with the Occupation Forces too!

- Don't be silly. - Were you guys lying?

- We weren't lying! - Then why weren't they any fishes?

- How the heck should we know! - Hey, stop it.

Blaming them isn't going to do us any good.

Everything's backfiring on us right now, but that happened with work too, remember?

We managed to overcome that and came this far.

We're comrades. We're comrades who unite and fight together.

That's absolutely right.

Why do we even bother going out to sea?

I don't have time to have ridiculous thoughts

of fighting with you guys again!

My husband never ever does anything like that
