You're not there yet, Manpei-san.

No matter what happens, things will go well in the end.

Manpei-san is a late bloomer.

I believe in you.

Thanks... Fukuko.

Director, there's bad news! Please go downstairs...Please go down!

- Let me withdraw my money! - I was here first!

What's going on here...

It was 2 days after the bank run incident occurred

2 days later

at Ikeda Credit Union.

- Where's Dad? - I told you already, didn't I?

- He went to work already. - Before we woke up?

Your dad's busy at work.

Mom. I'll do it.

- Calm down now. - A bank run occurred, you know.

- How do you expect me to calm... - Hello.

- Someone's here. - That's Uncle Shinichi's voice.

Shinichi-san...

- Uncle Shinichi. - Good morning, Gen, Sacchan.

Gen, Sachi, come here.

- What can I do for you? - Fuku-chan.

Good morning, Mother.

This is Yano-san from Umeda Bank.

My name is Yano. We will be confirming the household goods we have taken as collateral

and start preparation to sell them.

I ask that you don't take out or damage anything.

- R-repossession? - Onozuka-san, this is your job.

- Please get started. - Yes. I'm sorry, Fuku-chan.

Shinichi-san...

Wait... wait a minute!

Why so suddenly... Shinichi-san!

It can't be helped.

Shinichi-san... does Manpei-san know about this?

Of course he knows.

Director.

Good morning.

Yano-san.

Have a seat.

Today after this, we will be going to your residence

to make preparation for the sale of your collateral.

We will need you to convert into money the property you put up as collateral

and apply it towards repayment of the loan to us.

The household goods in your residence were put up as collateral to Ikeda Credit Union.

We ask that you get them prepared for sale. Also,

the court is proceeding with the sale of your house and property.

But it's not like our safe is all empty...

But you're unable to make any predictions about the future, are you?

There is no future for Ikeda Credit Union.

Please do not contact your family.

We wouldn't want them hiding articles that can be converted into money.

- Hello. - You have a call from Managing Director Onozuka.

Patch him through.

Executive Director.

We got done with the posting of confirmation notes.

Can you get Fukuko on the phone?

Fuku-chan.

This is Fukuko.

I'm sorry.

You didn't know either, did you?

But I was prepared for this to happen.

What about the kids?

I sent them off to school.

They're not sure what's going on.

What about Mother?

She's laid up in bed.

Try taking away my bedding too!

Will you be late tonight?

I'm not sure yet.

If you can come home early, let's all have dinner together.

Although I may not be able to make much.

All right.

Let's go.

We're not finished yet, you know.

Huh?

In the event you don't have enough money to repay the loan even after selling household goods

and the house and property,

please have these members pay back the loan they received so far.

- Pay back?! - Otherwise, Ikeda Credit Union

- won't be able to pay back your debt to us. - Wait a minute, please.

There are a lot of businesses with potential in Ikeda.

- How can we suddenly ask them to pay back their loan? - They'll all go bankrupt!

Being emotional will get you nowhere. Reality is harsh.

We will call a vendor by next week to sell off the household goods we confirmed today.

- You don't need to see me off. - Wait...

Here's your rice curry.

- Is she okay to be working? - How would I know?

She said she can work as usual.

I can't look at Fuku-chan straight in the face.

- Welcome. - Welcome...

- Toshi-chan. - Fuku-chan, are you all right?

I heard about the distraint.

I'm perfectly fine. Being depressed won't do me any good.

Do you feel dizzy?

I don't have any strength in my body.

I don't blame you when this happened so suddenly...

Shinichi-san stuck them on.

Shinichi-san did?!

Like he was the devil's minion or something...

Distraint means having your property seized as collateral, right, Mom?

- How did you know that? - Teacher told me.

What's collateral?

You don't have to know. You guys don't have to worry about anything.

Okay?

- I'm home. - It's Dad.

It's Manpei-san.

Oh... Mom.

- Dad. - Welcome home.

There's weird paper stuck on everything all over the house.

They don't belong to us anymore.

Welcome home, Manpei-san.

Yeah, I'm home.

Look.

Shinichi-san looked like he was having a hard time.

I felt bad for him.

Manpei-san! What's going to happen to us!

- Mother. - I said what's going to happen!

How would he know that now? You're scaring the kids.

We can live here until a buyer is found.

What happens after that? Are we getting kicked out?

- You can all come to our house. - That's right.

No, we'll cause you trouble if we all went to your house.

We'll rent a house somewhere.

Rent a house?

Mom, you go to Katsuko Nee-chan's house.

I'm going to stay with Dad.

Me too.

Oh, yeah?

Now that it's come to this, I have no choice.

I've been working for times like this.

- Actually, I have secret savings too. - Fukuko...

You say secret savings, but that can't amount to much.

- Seriously, you can come to our house. - There's no need to hold back, okay?

- Thank you for your offer. But... - It's okay, it's okay.

We'll all do our best and hang in there together as a family.

- Right, Gen? - Yeah.

I'll do my best too.

No matter what happens, we'll be fine.

Thanks, Fukuko.

Hello.

Hm? Who can that be?

Yes~.

- Mom. - Are you all right?

Mother. I'm terribly sorry.

Toshi-chan.

I was concerned about you all this time.

There was no way you could be fine in this situation.

That's how you were in high school too.

Even when you were going through difficult times, you never showed it

and cheered up Hana-chan and me instead.

When was it? I saw you crying your eyes out once.

I was so surprised. That was the first time I found out you were troubled.

Toshi-chan...

To be honest, I'm scared.

How long can I go on supporting Manpei-san...

protecting the children...

I can't stop feeling anxious.

Fuku-chan...

Please don't tell Manpei-san.

Please don't tell anyone...
