The store had become eminent.

Once the other dancers saw Sae's dress...

...they all came in making orders at the same time.

Ah... Thank you!

Making the dancer's dresses was moving along smoothly.

Come again!

Thank you!

I had barely finished about half of the orders...

...when the first dancer I had helped came back again.

Good afternoon!

Ah, welcome!

Thank you for the dress the other day!

Ala?

Is there something wrong with the dress?

No, not that.

Do you... Do you make other or ordinary dresses?

Ah, that!

Of course. Now, come in, come in!

I wanted a one-piece dress.

Yeah.

Here, take a look at these.

I could tell just by looking at the Boss...

...that he was happily making new calculations.

That once this got around, one dancer after another would be coming in...

...placing orders and bringing in profits.

He was thinking, "Hey, these toys are profitable."

Whaa!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I bought all sorts, so pick out your favorites.

Yeah!

Sae stopped coming to that store after that...

...and came to see me directly at my home instead.

I hate that store owner.

He's friendly and all, but he's definitely nothing but a little fool.

Ito-chan, don't you hate him?

I do hate this and that about him.

I want to come and ask you for this work, Ito-chan.

I want to pay all of the money to you.

It irritates me giving that guy even one issen.

Issen - one-hundredth of a yen

You hate him that much?

Say, Ito-chan! Hurry up with your own store.

Yeah.

The other girls'll become your customers right away.

Make it this store right away.

You even have a sewing machine.

Umm.

Yeah.

Ah, welcome back.

Dad, this is a customer of the store.

Good afternoon. Sorry for my intrusion.

Ah, good afternoon.

By the way, you should end it with Harutarō. That Harutarō guy.

Starting that again.

Ito-chan, you misunderstand about that man.

Ala.

It's shampoo.

You sell this?

Yeah. Since it seems to sell these days, my Dad put them out there.

Just in time. I was out.

Kinomoto Electical Store

Hello there!

Oh! What's up? Just back from work?

It's not "what's up." Today's the promised day. Have you forgotten, Sir?

Eh?

The electric fan.

Oh! That's right, that's right!

I was so looking forward to it on the way home and you forgot about it!

Sorry, sorry.

This was supposed to be half off...

...but 75% off'll be fine.

Eh? Really? All right! Thank you, Sir!

In exchange, use it all during the summer.

I had Kinomoto-san sell me a cheap electric fan.

It would be proof that I was supporting the family.

You give me the creeps.

Face that way.

That evening, I had something I wanted to discuss with Dad.

There!

Huh?

I'll tell you.

You take that bottle of sake in, and there'll just be four left.

If it gets broken, that'd be a problem.

Don't tell him anything that he goes and breaks it.

I know, I know.

Itoko...

When this is boiled, it's spicy.

Dad.

Huh?

I want to talk.

It's about work, though.

Right now at the tailoring shop, a lot of customers are coming in just to see me.

Hmm...

Because of all the customers coming to see me, the tailor shop is making lots of profit.

Every day the Boss plays with his abacus, chuckling.

But, the store I really want to see flourishing is my store.

My Ohara...

Ohara Dressmaking Store!

Once the dresses I'm working on now settles down, I want to quit from Royal.

I want to start up...

...the dressmaking store here once more.

Ohara... Dressmaking Store...

You can't just arbitrarily change the store sign on your own.

This is Ohara Dry-goods Store!

That's true...

...but we don't put out kimono dry-goods anymore.

No!

Eh?

You get yourself a handful of customers and you get yourself caught up in the moment.

Listen!

I told you to go there and study the trade business.

What you're doing at that store right now is what you've always done...

...just playacting at being a craftsman.

I told you, "grow as a merchant."

I've already grown!

You haven't!

In that case, what do I have to do to make you approve of me?

I've made the tailor shop flourish fully now.

If you can't approve of me after that, then I don't know how you'll ever approve of me.

Well then!

One other place.

Huh?

If you can make one other place prosper...

...then I'll approve of you! Yeah!

Damn! This drunkard!

Even so...

...if that was the rule my Dad had put down...

...I'd have no choice but to abide by it.

You're quitting?!

Yeah.

There's no "yeah" about it!

Why?

Is it because of all the orders?

Well, for now I've taken my final dress from a customer.

What about the clothes?

All the orders for clothes that you so happily took? What'll happen to them?

I have no choice but to apologize to the customers about them.

You'll apologize?

There's a difference between apologizing and finishing them! What's this about!

I'm sorry!

Ah, I see. I understand.

You've acquired a few customers and things are going well...

...so you want to be independent.

That's not it.

Liar!

That's not it!

I really did intend that, but...

What?

My Dad told me I couldn't do that until I make another store prosper.

What's that?

For what reason?

That's what I'd like to hear.

Hairstylist Yasuoka

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Ah, Nat-chan.

I want my hair done up in a Marumage.

Marumage - married woman's hairdo

My name will be going into the family register tomorrow.

Ah...

Congratulations about that.

There's nothing to celebrate.

Eh?

The mourning ceremonies are finally over.

But now I can't use the expensive wedding dress my Dad had gone to so much trouble for.

It's ridiculous.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

That's okay though.

It was tough about your father, wasn't it?

The other day.

Huh?

I got to speak to your oldest son.

Ah, with Taizō?

Yeah.

He knew my name.

I was really surprised.

Well, he should know it.

The Yoshida-ya's Nat-chan is a famous beauty around here.

Say...

...when you let your hair down, Nat-chan...

...you look just like a schoolgirl.

Oba-chan.

Huh?

For just...

...just a short time...

Yeah.

I really...

...liked him.

Ah... I see.

Yeah.

For so long...

...I loved him.

You should take a walk somewhere.

Huh? But I just came back now from a walk.

Just do it!

Go out one more time!

Go... go take another walk.

Cry!

Nat-chan!
