Original subtitles

Manpei-san's the executive direction of a credit union.

I can't understand why he'd want to get greasy hands and help out at a workshop.

I told Tadahiko-san to go ahead and do as he pleased.

To paint whatever he wants to paint.

Is this what you wanted? Madam!

What are you doing here, Kanbe-san?!

When I heard Manpei-san was helping out here, I just couldn't sit still.

Watch out, watch out. Be careful now.

Just think of it as a hobby.

A hobby, huh?

Okay, it's sealed properly.

Now, let's give it a try.

- Kanbe-kun. - Okay.

Please work.

Here it goes.

That should be good.

It didn't work.

Why...

You're home.

- Would you like to take a bath first? - Huh? Oh...

I'll get your dinner ready in the meantime then.

Oh, sorry, but I don't need dinner today.

I don't have an appetite.

- Didn't it go well? - I'd better go wash my hands too.

Why can't we get just the juicer to work well?

- Say. - The other functions work perfectly.

- Shigeru-san. - Hm?

Do you really like Uncle Manpei that much?

- Huh? - Enough to help him without telling me.

I'm not slacking off from my day job.

Actually, Yoshino told me to

hurry up and let her hold a nephew or niece in her arms.

So maybe it's about time we...

Don't make me say such embarrassing things.

Oh, for Pete's sake!

Why just me?

- You didn't eat your dinner last night. - Even then, all this from the morning...

Please eat.

- Manpei-san. - Yes?

You know that I don't approve of you helping out at the workshop.

But Fukuko says to let you do as you please.

But I don't know about skipping your dinner to do it.

Fukuko is worried about your health.

I understand. I'll eat it.

Dad got scolded.

One more thing, Manpei-san. I don't think you should get Kanbe-san involved.

He came to me saying he wanted to help.

- Of course he would. - But he'll have less time to spend with Taka.

Katsuko probably wants to see a granchild soon too.

Katsuko Nee-san a grandma?

Isn't that too soon yet?

But they're going on their fourth year of marriage already.

If those two have a child, you'll be a great-grandmother, Mother.

- Great-grandmother?! - Is that all right with you?

But of course. I can't wait to see my great-grandchild.

So have Kanbe-san keep it down to once or twice a week at the most.

But he'll come even if I tell him not to.

You just have to tell him sternly.

- I'll do that... - He got scolded again.

Is something the matter?

I had to eat a big meal first thing in the morning.

On top of that, I had to listen to Fukuko and Mother's nagging.

I'm feeling bummed out today.

Every cloud has a silver lining, Director.

- You think so? - Yes, of course.

I'll believe you then.

Come in.

- Good morning, Director. - Good morning.

I have some bad news.

I just got a call from Umeda Bank saying they can't provide funding

- for any new loans. - What!

Including Odajima Manufacturing.

This is Kitamura speaking.

Can't you please reconsider it, Kitamura-san? Cutting off financing for a promising company

like Odajima Manufacturing is not something I can do.

- Tachibana-san. - Umeda Bank is our only hope.

I'd like to help you too, believe me. But right now,

we as the bank have no choice but to assume a defensive position.

- Well, I do undertand that, but... - If you understand, please accept our position.

Kitamura-san.

Nothing you can say to change his mind?

How much do we have in our safe right now?

Can you at least let me continue financing Odajima Manufacturing?

- It's delicious! - Thank you.

And I'm the one who made that.

Here's the fruit punch for Mom.

You look quite at home as the waitress here, Fukuko.

- Thanks. - I'm being sarcastic.

- Hurry up and eat it. - But Mom's actually resigned herself to it.

Otherwise she wouldn't have come even if I asked.

- It's delicious. - Isn't it? She said it's delicious.

- Sankyu beri macchi. - Thank you.

- The one who made that is also... - One coffee.

You are coffee. Okay.

Maybe I should work too.

Oh, please don't. Fukuko can't say anything to Manpei-san

because she's working herself.

You really want him to quit helping out at the workshop, don't you?

That's not true... I'm just worried about Manpei-san's health.

- That's a lie. - Manpei-san's doing his job at the credit union too

so why not let him do as he please?

- Manpei-san's having fun, right? - Yes.

That's a good thing. There's nothing attractive about a man without a dream.

What's that? A line from a play you saw the other day?

A play?

Man is the ship, woman the sea. We watch over them with a big heart.

It's you know, that play. The one we went to see the other day.

- Yes, that funny one. - It's on the tip of my tongue.

Why can't you remember!

I'm fine with whatever Tadahiko-san does.

You shouldn't be grumbling about little things either. You're the daughter of a samurai, remember?

It's not a little thing.

Welcome.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

And to think she's the wife of an executive director.

It's delicious.

I'm home.

Yes.

Dear... Who is she?

She's a model.

HANAMURA NAHOMI

My name is Hanamura Nahomi.

Turn your head slightly to the right.

I'm thinking of painting bijin-ga from now on.

Bijin-ga?

Thanks to your encouragement to do as I please, I've made up my mind.

Even though you're color blind?

I damaged my eyes during the war. I can't tell the difference between red and green.

- Oh, no. - But making use of that drawback,

I discovered my own style of painting that no one can copy.

I'm going to make use of that in bijin-ga too.

Bijin-ga...

- Thank you very much. - Thanks.

Thank you very much.

- Fuku-chan, you can go now. - Okay.

You were a great help again today. Sankyu beri macchi, Fuku-chan.

Not at all.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

Shinichi-san.

I really understand how Manpei-kun feels.

But still, he's too obsessed with Odajima Manufacturing.

Completing the multipurpose food processor is the only thing on Manpei-kun's mind.

I know.

Can you try talking to him too, Fuku-chan? To take it in moderation.

I think we should improve the motor to make it more powerful after all.

But then, that will make the base bigger.

Plus, it will cost more money.

Don't worry about that.

- Go to sleep now. - Okay. Good night.

Good night.

Yes, good night.

I'm home.

Completing the multipurpose food processor is the only thing on Manpei-kun's mind.

I know.

Can you try talking to him too, Fuku-chan? To take it in moderation.

- Welcome home. - Yeah, I'm back.

I'll eat my dinner tonight. I'll go take a bath first though.

- Manpei-san. - We finally figured out what needs to be improved.

Completion is within reach now.

- It will be over soon. - Soon?

Yeah.

I'm glad. Yeah, I'm glad.

That's good, that's good.
