心を育てているのね

Kokoro o sodatete iru no ne

That's how a heart is raised, isn't it

How could you do such a thing?!

You don't know anything!

A tailor shop's business...

...has to be able to weather the lack of business suits sales during the summer!

To do that to a long-awaited, honored customer who had come...

...you're a fool!

Do you intend to bankrupt my store?

The main point is...

From the moment you came to my store, I had this bad feeling about you!

You may have made those uniforms for that Shinsaibashi department store, but...

I figured he'd be the sort who would scold me for a long time...

...but this just went on forever.

Thanks for your hard work.

Ala?

Good work.

Thanks for your hard work.

Want to eat some shaved ice?

Eh?

I thought you'd come out crying...

Huh?

But you didn't, huh?

Why?

Because of his preaching earlier?

Yeah.

He was roaring away there for a long time, wasn't he?

Yeah.

But there's a person in my home who can beat the Boss at that.

Compared to him, it wasn't nearly that hot.

Still though, that is a bad habit of mine at work.

What is?

Hmm...

The moment I'm about to make a profit, I let it fly away.

Yeah...

My Dad'll start up his "just how dense can you be" song again.

Ah... This was good!

I really thank you!

Thanks for the food.

See you again tomorrow!

Tomorrow...

Thanks for your hard work.

Pick that up.

Welcome!

I'll say this especially...

I don't want it canceled like you said yesterday.

However you may put it...

...I'm just a dance hall dancer from the squalid outskirts of town.

But just one...

Just one of my customers told me...

..."your dancing is completely different from the others."

He's different from the other men around here.

He's a wonderful, professional person who's far more successful than any of them.

He told me...

..."You have a sense for dancing."

"If you trained and practiced diligently..."

"...you could go on to much finer places."

That's a difficult problem for me.

I think...

..."I wouldn't be able to get that sort of training."

Every day I'm just...

...keeping the same men of the dance hall occupied in the same way.

And then that person...

...gradually began designating me.

This person...

...he told you about evening dresses?

That's right.

But...

Just switching from a kimono to a dress...

I was a fool for thinking that everything would become different.

Inside, I'd still be the same.

Nothing would change.

You will change.

Putting on clothes changes a person.

That's what Negishi-sensei told me.

Negishi-sensei?

I can tell.

I can tell full well.

You may look like a fool...

...but I can sense that you're different.

I...

...will make you a dress in true seriousness.

A top-notch dress with the choicest of goods.

And in any case, you'll wear it.

You'll wear it everyday... Dance in it everyday...

And a little at a time...

...you'll become a dancer in harmony with my dress!

No! Ah...

Not again!

This is kinda cool, isn't it?

It's nice.

Well, it's a little off.

Maybe yellow.

Me and yellow...

From then on, Sae turned out to be a surprisingly good customer.

That's changed...

This is for one-piece dresses...

Just a moment...

Ah... Would it be okay for me to check your measurements one more time?

Sure.

Forgive me. I had told you it would be finished by today.

Work on it until you're satisfied.

Yeah.

She patiently put up with me...

...as I went through the finishing tacking.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, too.

I'll start wearing it right from today.

Yeah. Please do!

Say, come see me!

Eh?

I was told that person might come today.

Ah...

Is that right.

Yeah.

I'll come.

Really?

Yeah.

I'll come by as soon as work is over.

Thank you.

Do come.

Yeah.

So long!

Please dance with me!

It's been so long! Eh... What should I do?

When this person came...

...I immediately understood this was the one.

Ha... Harutarō?!

Ah...

Eh, why is it that guy?

I don't get it.

Harutarō was the same foppish guy as ever while dancing with Sae.

At exactly that same time...

...Natsu's father...

...died.
