"Mom, how are you?"

"Naoko arrived safely at the Tokyo station."

I piled up your baggage over there.

Where's the futons?

Huh?

In the closet.

Huh?

Going to sleep already?

I'm exhausted.

Say, by the way...

...why are you in your sailor suit school uniform?

"Anyhow, seems Naoko is incredibly worried about..."

"...looking like a fool here in Tokyo."

Since you went to so much trouble getting here, wouldn't you like to come along, too?

If you don't have anything good to wear, I'll loan you something.

Don't want it.

Nobody'll care about how unattractive you are.

I wouldn't want to wear Nee-chan's ugly clothes.

Huh?

I don't know you anymore! Do as you like!

"Since she didn't want to go out, I thought it would be nice if I had friends come over..."

"...but she just wore her sailor suit again."

Nao-chan, you're going straight into our school's ninth period?

By the way, is it true that Haraguchi-sensei asked you to come?

Then Nao-chan, you've talked to him, too?

I see.

You should've talked to him. He's a very unique Sensei.

He's an original guy and his classes are masterpieces!

When are they?

Look, summer, summer, summer.

Summer?

Why didn't you talk?

You gave off this really creepy feeling.

Are you embarrassed by your Kishiwada dialect?

I can understand.

I went through the same thing.

Well, you'll get practiced with it.

"She really is a strange girl."

Ah!

You've seen it, right? That one from Saint-Laurent.

I've seen it!

Trapeze Line?

I was surprised by that!

It was just strange!

I thought it so unusual that I couldn't pull my eyes away from it.

Just what is that twenty-one year old youngster thinking?

It was no good entrusting it to a young child like him.

There's only one year difference between him and my own daughter.

Right!

Well, even so, I was only twenty-one when I put up my own signboard.

Eh? Really? You were twenty-one?

Yeah.

True, but it's different from when we were twenty-one and now.

I guess...

Yeah.

Kids these days are so unreliable!

True, huh?

Yeah!

Ah, welcome back!

Welcome back!

You guys are as boisterous as ever, huh!

I could hear your voices all the way out front.

That's right!

In my case, I can't just be here chatting. I need to hurry home and see to the customers.

The factory at my place needs me!

I'm going home, too!

So long, I'm going home!

I'll be off first! Excuse our disturbance!

I'm off first.

Ohara-san, are you in a rush, too?

Well, I don't have anything particular for today.

Hang around for a bit then.

Ah...

Ah, this is some choice goods.

Really?

Yeah. This is imported, isn't it?

Yes. From France.

Ah... It's high quality.

Well, about this...

Yeah?

How much is this?

One bolt of 50 meters, double-width, is 12,000 yen.

12,000 yen!

Yeah.

That expensive?

Well, there is a condition, however.

The purchase would have to be a paid-in-full transaction for ten bolts worth.

Ten bolts? Payment in full?

Is that impossible for you?

Well... It's not that I couldn't buy it...

...but ten bolts of fifty meters each.

That's a lot of dresses for me.

Well... What should I do?

No, no, no. That's not what I was talking about when I asked if it was impossible for you.

Well...

Not that you would try to sell it all through your place...

...but that you would sell a portion of it through some other shop.

Ah...

Just you and I know about these choice goods at this price.

Think of these as being a wonderful loss leader.

Yeah!

For the time being...

...you were the first person that came to mind to notify about this. That was all.

Ah.

Thank you for that.

No, no.

Sir, I'm back!

Sato-chan!

I saw it in the newspaper!

You're incredible!

You saw it?

Oh, oh, oh!

"Tennis Champion and Powerhouse Rookie joins Izumi Girl's High School Tennis Club"

Sato-chan, didn't you win the championship of your middle school tournament, too?

Ito-chan didn't say anything about that, either.

Mom doesn't have any interest in tennis at all.

You should definitely tell me when your next tournament is. I'll come and cheer for you!

All right!

Oh!

Serve!

Smash!

Oh, whaa!

I'm home!

Welcome back!

I saw you were mentioned in today's newspaper!

They wrote some nice things.

I'm so proud of you!

Strawberries!

Ah, those.

Kitamura-san sent some again.

I'm home!

Welcome back!

Mom!

Huh?

Did you see today's newspaper?

Yeah.

I was mentioned in it.

Ah...

...you were mentioned.

Masa-chan and the others were making a big fuss about it.

Ah... Isn't there some way?

Ala?

Aren't those strawberries?

Hmm. Kitamura-san sent us some again.

Kitamura, huh?

Umm.

Kitamura, huh?

Ah... Kitamura...

Kitamura, Kitamura.

Kitamura...

Okay!

That's it!

Ala! Sato-chan!

I'm back!

Masa-chan! It's Sato-chan!

That's incredible!

You were even mentioned in the papers!

Ah!

Sato-chan!

I saw it! You're something else!

Thank you!

Here in the packed Kōrakuen Stadium...

Hey there!

Welcome! Thanks for coming!

Ah, hello!

Oh, is that Nagashima?

Whaa, he's good.

Hey!

Hurry and sit down!

I'm a busy person.

Calling me out and then acting all bossy.

Sir, a coffee.

Just have a seat...

Be quiet!

Look...

About what you were talking about the other day.

Huh?

When you said, "Launching a big business in ready-made goods."

You've become interested in that?

Well, I want to hear about it.

You are interested!

Well, I'm not sure yet, though.

Anyhow, just tell me more about it.

Ah...

Well um, the ready-wear business...

...it's developing wonderfully across the nation.

Well, I've already...

...enlarged my factory twice...

...gotten ten sewing machines, twenty-six seamstresses...

...and opened three more stores.

With all the increased sales, my "I'm sorry, but..." are skyrocketing.

I think it'd be better if I knew just what the ceiling on them was though.

What I can say is that it keeps shooting up like this.

Stop the boasting!

Go on.

I have big factories.

And I have connections through bulk wholesalers to department stores.

I can make and sell.

Only thing left is what to make.

In short...

...I need designs that'll sell reliably.

That's where the profits are.

And those would be incredible!

And so, and so...

It's your turn.

What is it that Professor Ohara-sensei wishes?

Here you go!

Ah, thank you!

Hmm...

Is that really no good?

That?

What you were talking about before!

Look, you know...

That.

That Sanreeran... somebody.

Saint-Laurent.

Ah, Saint-Laurent. This, this, this.

The Trapeze Line?

Well, take a look at this here now. Seems his "Sack Dress"...

Sack Dress

...is selling off the charts in Tokyo.

No! Such a thing...

Look.

I'm not saying anything about becoming an imitation of Tokyo.

In the first place, Osaka is usually six months behind the Tokyo fashions.

Hmm...

And besides, just because something might be popular in Tokyo...

...you can't assume it'll be popular here in Osaka.

The people of Osaka have their Osaka character...

...and we can't just assume they'll buy something without knowing if it's really good.

Really?

This Trapeze Line...

...will definitely not be popular here in Osaka.

If we're going to do something, it should be along the lines of the Dior from before.

In a word...

You do want to join up.

I guess...

Okay!

Keep it down, you!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

The other day...

Yeah.

The Union President spoke to me about buying some really choice fabric.

Oh.

But I have to buy ten rolls of it.

Ah.

As you'd expect, I felt that was too much for my store...

...so I wanted to talk about selling some of it to you.

I'm in!

"Two birds with one stone."
