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

Please, let's work together.

You're Ohara-kun's sister?

Yes!

Thank you for always being so kind to my sister.

Ah... If a sister like you is around to help her...

...I'm sure Ohara-kun must feel relieved as well. Right!

Ah.

Well, Ohara-kun is fine for youths...

...but because this is a department store after all...

...it is important to cater to customers across all ages.

Yes.

Yes.

Let's work together.

Using her unrivaled outward appearance as a weapon...

...Yūko was able to charm the department store manager...

...and clear up the standing of Naoko's store.

Ehh... These are incredible clothes!

These are clothes young people are wearing these days, right?

Welcome.

Say, is this all the rage right now?

Yes. Somehow though, it does give the feeling of a crow.

Right? A crow!

It really is like a crow, isn't it?

However...

...I am currently wearing one of our designs as well, dear customers.

Ala...

Ehh?

It looks respectable when you wear it, doesn't it?

Yes, it's not bad.

It's tailor-made, so of course we would make it as much to the customer's request as possible.

Not just so you look like a crow.

By all means, please do come and discuss it with us.

If you would please.

Huh?!

Like I said...

...you don't have to suck up to the customers like that just to get a sale.

What?

It's okay if I'm the only one who understands my clothes.

I don't want to lower my head to a bunch of oba-chans...

...who don't know anything about what they're wearing.

Ow! What's that for!?

Are you gonna be some spoiled little brat forever?

Huh?!

This is a business!

Get rid of that artistic pretension crap!

Hello, Ohara-sisters. How's it going? Doing well?

Ah, hello...

Thanks to you, we've been working our hardest.

That's great then.

By the way, Satoko then went to Tokyo.

Having won the Osaka Tournament Championship...

...Satoko then won the Kinki Regional Championship after that...

Kinki - the region around Osaka, Kyoto and Nara

...and then was, surprisingly, said to be competing in a National Tournament.

National Tournament

National Students Softball Tennis Championship

Aim to be Best in Japan

Let's pray that Sato-chan...

...comes in First in the nation.

And all of Gokencho.

Kanpai!

Kanpai!

Best of luck!

I'll do my best.

Aim to be best in Japan!

Have you forgotten anything?

No.

I'm worried about you.

I'll be fine.

So you'll be going?

Yeah.

When you get off at the Tokyo station....

Yeah?

Your Yūko-neechan will come and pick you up.

Yeah.

Ala, ala.

Mother! 'Morning.

Yeah.

Ah... You're going?

Umm.

Get going then. Be careful.

I'll be going.

Ala, ala.

I'm off.

Get going.

Be careful.

I'm going!

Yeah.

This is it.

Now, come in, come in.

Room 3

Now, come in, come in. Don't feel reserved.

Right!

Excuse my disturbance.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I have to hurry right back out again to the store, but do as you please here.

Okay.

I think I'll be back around 8 or 9...

...but if Naoko doesn't return first...

...and if you get hungry, go ahead and eat some instant ramen.

Umm.

So long.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I'll be going.

Have a nice day.

Yeah.

Rather than reserving a hotel room near where the matches were being held...

...for some unknown reason...

...Satoko was eager to stay in her sister's room.

While not a one of them could care for her...

...from that room she went to the tournament each day.

Excuse me a moment.

What's the matter, Satoko?

I won the championship.

Eh?! You won the championship?!

Yeah.

You won the championship?!

Yeah.

I won First Place in the country!

Ah!

Okay!

You're incredible!

Is this the trophy?

As expected, they said they stopped work early that day...

...and that they all had a celebration.

However, that stupid Satoko made one phone call to Kishiwada...

...that I didn't know about...

Ohara-san!

Ohara-san!

Yes!

It's been awhile!

Ah, I, eh... I was Satoko-san's coach during her middle school days.

That Satoko-san has done it.

She won the National Tournament!

Ah... this is an heroic achievement.

Truly, congratulations!

What's this? She really did?

Eh?

I think you should tell this to her herself when she comes back please.

Well, ah, um...

She did it!

Sato-chan did it!

She did it. She did do it!

I had been awakened at a point where from a lack of sleep...

...I was in the condition I was in.

Banzai! Banzai!

Congratulations on Being Best in Japan Ohara Satoko

Having said that, when I thought about it...

...it was truly amazing.

You're best in Japan! That's great! Congratulations!

You're great!

I'm home.

Sato-chan!

Grandma! It's Sato-chan!

You're incredible!

Thank you.

That's incredible.

Satoko!

Grandma!

This is great!

You really did your best. You're great!

You're the best in Japan!

Welcome back.

That's so great.

I'm home.

That's wonderful, huh?

First in the entire country?

Yeah!

Sato-chan, congratulations!

Thank you.

Congrats for being best in Japan

Aim to be Best in Japan

Hey!

To celebrate Sato-chan...

...being best in Japan!

Kanpai!

Kanpai!

Congratulations!

Best in Japan!

Congrats! Your're the best in Japan!

Even so, isn't that different?

Huh?

Um... Isn't that different if they come out to scout you?

Yeah. They're coming.

Yaa!

There's no doubt but she'll join some business group.

Um, Mom.

Hmm?

Today I...

...quit from tennis.

Huh?!

Why?

After all the trouble you went through to get this far and you just quit?

Weren't scouts supposed to be coming here from now on?

If you could've joined some business group, that'd be a waste!

I've done enough.

Huh?

I've done well to get this far.

Well, that's true, but...

I'm so lonely.

I'm lonely.

I hadn't noticed it, but...

...this girl who was always smiling while the two older ones scuffled with each other...

...seems to have been thinking about a lot of things.

Quitting?!

Yeah.

Ah... Why?

I've already come in First Place in the country.

But why are you quitting?

There's... something I've decided to do.

What's that?

Dressmaking.

Eh?!

You want to go into dressmaking?!

That's all that Mom and my sisters and everyone else does here.

I've always been the odd man out.

That's true, isn't it?

So at last...

At last I'm gonna be one of the gang!
