Miura Heizō Kondō Masaomi

That guy...

Yes.

He seriously loves you.

Ah...

So long, Union President.

I'll be going.

Ah, that's true. Ah, yes.

Be... be careful going home.

So long; excuse me.

Ah, thanks for your hard work.

That really was just a coincidence.

Take care.

Yes.

Still, it wasn't very much of a coincidence.

Is it something different from that...

Something other than fate... I wonder?

Maybe not.

It wasn't like Suo-san was chasing after me.

1 yen. And 1 yen. Each of you are 1 yen each.

Ehh...

Mom.

Ah!

Ala, you're back, you're back!

What's this?

Ah, eh! Ah...

Look at this. These were done by the children. Worth buying, aren't they?

Ohara Small Articles Store

Put money here

One Yen

They said they'd sell these for money and use that to buy a piano themselves.

Huh?

This is a joke! It's disgraceful!

Eh... Wait, wait! Wait a minute!

Maybe so, but look at this!

Naoko sewed this bag. Good, isn't it?

She did this? Eh? Naoko sewed this?!

And...

Yūko sewed these to be used for doll clothing.

Look, see!

This is Yūko's?

Right!

No, no, they can't!

Eh?

I'm not loaning a table that's important to this store just so those runts can play around!

Ah...

Eh!?

Here, here.

Here. Take it back.

Ala... Eh!

Ahh!

I'll definitely have sold something!

I'll have sold something, too!

I will have!

I will have!

Me!

Ah!

Really? Some old ladies bought them?

All of them?

"Ah... I needed some clothes for my dolls."

"I'll buy them for my kids."

And, "Ah... I'll take this bag. It's so cheap."

And so they all sold out.

Really?

Really?!

Here's the evidence.

Put money here

It's true!

Sato-chan's Fukuwarai and paper Sumo wrestlers also sold.

Fukuwari - a game similar to "pin the tail on the donkey"

Whaa! Like this, we might really be able to buy a piano! I'll do my best!

I'll do my best, too!

I'll do my best, three!

Well then, do your best, do your best!

Now, eat your potatoes.

Delicious, aren't they?

You guys ain't asleep yet?

Didn't I tell you?

Since you have school again tomorrow, hurry and put out your futons and get to sleep!

Are you listening?!

Just a little longer...

No!

Stop that already, hey!

Your eyes'll go bad!

Who is it you guys take after anyways?

I always rushed to shut my eyes and get to sleep, so I'd put out my own futons.

Ahh... This is in the way. What is it?

For grade school students...

...the most important thing is early to bed, early to rise.

If you go to bed early, you'll be able to get up early.

Are you listening?!

What is it?

What's this? It was a lie!

Huh?

Grandma lied.

About what?

What is this?

That's true but those little ones were working their hardest out of consideration for you, right?

Yeah. My Mom was paying them off wonderfully.

Yet even so, she kept handing out more and more money.

Then after handing it out, she'd just tidy the things away.

Ah, I see.

So yesterday too, she thought for the time being she could keep it from the children...

Yes! Ohara Western Clothing Store.

...by hiding the stuff in the futons.

Long time no hear!

So they found out about it right away!

They would.

Thanks to you, I'm quite fine!

What are you doing, Masa-chan?

Our Sensei was under your care!

Noisy, isn't she?

Just a moment, please!

Sensei!

Huh?

It's Suo-san!

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Yes, this is Ohara.

I was under your care.

Coffee Shop

Taiko

Can I have hot chocolate?

Hey, a hot chocolate!

Sure thing!

Good afternoon!

Ah, hello.

Are you injured?

Well, it's no big deal though.

What happened?

I got a crack in the bone of my foot.

A crack?

How long will it take?

The doctor told me it'll take a month to heal.

Ah!

I heard from the Union President that you were working as a day-laborer....

...but look, you won't be able to do that either now?

The sounds from my foot when I bend it are threatening.

Thank you for waiting. Your hot chocolate.

Thank you.

Itadakimasu.

Yes, please do!

What is this?!

What kind of hot chocolate is this!

And...

Yes?

The day that you went to the Union office...

...was the very same day that I was on my way to the hospital with this.

Ah, is that right?

Although I felt I shouldn't take advantage of the Union President any longer...

...I went to ask for a favor.

And that's...

When the Union President said he couldn't hire me, he said to ask Ohara-san to.

Ah...

Eh?!

Why?

I would be far less trouble for Ohara-san than I would be for the Union President... he said.

Sometimes it's best to cause trouble.

Huh?

Life isn't so short.

You say you've fallen for...

...the woman you like.

Suo...

Whether to stray off, or whether to remain on...

...that's the human path.

It's in human nature...

...to stray off of their path.

But, straying like that can cause suffering.

You should suffer with it.

You should struggle with it. You should worry about it.

For the sake of life...

...you should burn about it.

Whether to stray off...

...or whether to remain on, that's the human path.

That's "5-7-5" isn't it? (for a haiku)

"Whether to stray off..." (5)

"...or whether to remain on it..." (7)

"That's the human path." (5)

Suo-san?

Whether to stray off...

Suo-san!

Ah...

And so what did the Union President tell you?

In short...

Well, even if I caused you trouble, it would be okay.

Huh?

That's it?

Ah but, I'm sorry.

He just said that if I needed a favor...

...I shouldn't come to the Union President himself.

I should come...

...to Ohara-san for work.

It may be all I'll do is cause you trouble though.

Please.

Please get a piano

Very well.

Please come starting tomorrow.

To start with, you can help out with the women...

...and then I think you'll gradually get more customers coming to call for men's suits.

Thank you very much.

Whether this would turn out to be a good thing or a bad thing...

...I really had no idea.

There was just one thing that I did know full well...

That Suo-san and I would be here.

This was the dream...

...that had been in my heart for all these last two years now.
