"Tasty, tasty Daneihon.

Packed with nutrition Daneihon."

Daneihon exceeded everyone's expectation

and it's sales continued to increase steadily.

Hey, we'll need 300 by the end of the day.

Got it!

Yes. Yes. Thank you.

Yes. We'll be waiting to hear from you.

The University Hospital wants to buy Daneihon?

- They want us to deliver it to their affiliates nation-wide. - Oh my!

I can't believe this.

How wonderful is this!

Gen-chan, are you happy too?

At the very least, half of the current state of this Tachibana Nutritious Food is

thanks to me.

Yes, of course, we're very grateful to you.

- We saw how important advertising is. - See?

At first, it was to embarrassing to even look at it,

but now that I'm used to it, it's a good sign.

But Mother, if you ask me, there's still a long ways to go.

Tachibana-kun doesn't have enough of that defiant attitude.

He should be walking around town in that black round-rimmed glasses wearing a bow tie.

- What? - You lack that spirit of the president to

- personally be the poster boy. - You may not think so, but he's doing his best.

I just don't like to stand out...

You'd better not be saying things like that.

Everyone's working hard to make and sell Daneihon.

- I know that, but... - Now, now, Mother.

If we force him to do it when he doesn't want to,

customers will see right through him.

If we can't get Tachibana-kun out of his shell,

next time, let's go with you, Mother.

Me? I could never do that... When?

We'll think about that in due time.

You just polish up that beauty of yours, Mother.

Oh, please...

- I'll do my best. - You don't have to do your best. Just be yourself.

By the way, Sera-san.

There's something I want to tell you or talk to you about.

Yes, what is it?

I'm thinking about sending my employees at the Tokyo Office to night school.

- Night school? - Yes.

Sakai, Kuranaga, Hori, Masuda, Komatsubara.

I'm giving scholarship to the youngest members

of our company and sending them to night school.

Those guys were unable to study because of the war.

That's a good idea. What about Kanbe-san?

He's already a graduate of Osaka Imperial University.

That's right. Although he doesn't look like he did.

Well, but I don't know if a company should go that far...

With more educated employees, I think the quality of the company will improve too.

The company nurtures the employees and the employees nurture the company.

I want Tachibana Nutritious Food to be that kind of company.

Fuku-chan, if you put it that way, I guess I can't oppose it.

Of course, even if you opposed it, I would've done it anyway.

Why did you ask me then.

When the same temperature is displayed in celsius and farenheit,

Showa Year 23 April

consider them ｘ° ｙ°, respectively.

Let's see what kind of relationship exists between x and y.

First, ０° in celsius is in farenheit...

It was spring, and Sakai-san and others got to attend night school in Tokyo.

Yeah, everyone's studying enthusiastically.

So that was something they wanted to do.

Is Kanbe-san all right?

What do you mean?

He's not pouting because he feels left out, is he?

There's nothing to worry about.

He's been writing letters to Taka-chan everyday after work.

Everyday?

He says he's going to work hard in order to make Taka-chan happy.

Is that right?

But Fuku-chan didn't know about that matter yet.

I'm not going to college.

Your parents are willing to let you go.

We're poor. Where are you going to get the money?

- Taka. - You don't need money at Osaka Imperial University.

Your teacher said you have a good chance with your grades.

- Right, Katsuko? - Yes, but...

- I know you have an ulterior motive. - Ulterior motive?

You want me to go to college and delay my graduation.

You don't want me to marry Kanbe-san. Isn't that right?

- You'll get to go to the same school as Kanbe-kun. - You're not answering my question!

It's because what I said was right.

I'm going to marry Kanbe-san after I graduate high school!

When did she become such a glib talker...

Welcome...

- Welcome. - I'm by myself.

Please have a seat there.

- Large ramen please. - One large ramen.

Got it.

Dad is feeling lonely. Try to understand.

- So he's going to break his promise? - What's the big rush to get married?

Besides, Kanbe-san just started his new work in Tokyo.

Not you too, Mom.

I know how you feel, Taka.

I married your dad even when my mom and everyone opposed it.

Then...

But I'm regretting it a little now.

That I should have tried harder to persuade everyone first.

Wouldn't it better to get married with everyone's blessing?

If I go to college, I'll have to wait 5, 6 years.

You're still only 17.

What if Kanbe-san falls in love with someone else in the meantime?

I heard there are lots of pretty women in Tokyo.

You'll just have to trust Kanbe-san on that.

You're the one who said he's an honest and sincere person.

But still...

You have to trust Kanbe-san.

I swear, you're starting to sound like a real grown-up.

Here's your order.

Looks delicious. Thank you.

We met the other day, didn't we?

TANIMURA MIYOKO

- In front of the mailbox. - Mailbox...

Ah, that time.

Do you work at that new company over there?

Yes. I'm an employee at Tachibana Nutritious Food.

- We sell Daneihon. - Is Daneihon...

"Packed with nutrition Daneihon.

Tasty, tasty Daneihon."

- "Manpei Brand's Daneihon." - I know.

Thank you. That's being produced in Osaka, and

I've been assigned to do the sales, so that's why I'm here.

Is that so.

Oh, please go ahead and eat before your noodle gets soggy.

Good!

Thank you.

I didn't know there was such a good shop so close by. This is great.

I'm sorry I doubted you, Kanbe-san.

There was a premotion of some trouble brewing.

But a problem much worse than that

arose 3 months later.

- A fake? - What?

A fake?

From the label to everything, it's exactly like Daneihon.

Daneibon?!

Daneibon?!

Hello? What's going on, Shinichi-san?

It means knockoffs are going around.

It says protein and vitamin A and such on the label, but

there's no way it can be duplicated that easily after what you went through to make it!

Daneibon

It's gotta be an inferior product!

What!

They're just waiting for customers to buy it by mistake.

You can't let them go unchecked, Tachibana-kun.

But what can I do...

All right. Leave it to me. I'll head out to Tokyo right away

and go crash the company that made the fake stuff.

Sera-san took action quickly!

Sakashita Foods.

This is the place.

Shinichi-san, this is war.

Put on your tough-guy look.

I know.

Hey! Where's the president!

- Is it you? - No, not me.

- Come on out! - Don't mess around with us.

- P-president! - What's going on?

Is it you guys that's been making useless knockouts!

You'd better not mess around with us!

What's this? Daneibon? Huh?

What's this? Sit down.

You'd better not mess around with us.

We scared them pretty good, so it should be fine now.

Fighting is not for me.

In any case, thank you for everything, Sera-san.

But there's gonna be more and more knockoffs of Daneihon, you know.

You should hurry up and get an endorsement from an respectable place.

- Respectable place? - Yeah. Didn't you say a university hospital

- in Tokyo is buying Daneihon? - Ah, Kyosen University Hospital.

Yeah. Get their permission to put on the label

that it's recommended by Kyosen University Hospital.

That way, no matter what kind of knockouts come out, we can say ours is the real deal.

That makes sense.

In order to do that,

the president has to go in person to make the request.

It's your turn to step up, Tachibana-kun.

All right.

- I'm back. - Fukuko.

- Manpei-san. - I have to go to Tokyo.

- We're going to have a baby. - On the label for Daneihon,

we're going to have Kyosen University Hospital... what? What did you just say?

We're going to have a baby.

I hadn't been feeling well recently

so I thought maybe, and stopped by the clinic. Then...

- A baby? - Yes.

- A baby?! - Yes.

Fukuko! Good job, Fukuko!

Gen, you're going to be a big brother soon.

Aren't you happy, Gen?

Take good care of youself and bear a healthy baby, Fukuko.

This is great! Fukuko!
