What I have to say may be selfish of me.

Please let me be independent.

What do you mean?

I want to start...

...my own store in Shinsaibashi.

I think you've heard about it too...

...but Sir here holds a property there.

I went and saw it the other day.

I thought it was a really good place...

...and that I would absolutely be a success there.

What about the capital for it?

Sir here...

...would provide the financing for it...

...and manage the money.

Well, um...

...if Yūko grows as a designer, I'll get a license agreement from her...

...for a pret-a-porter line.

I have some hopes for that possibility.

This is different from just sentiment though.

To the end, this will be about two businessmen taking this on.

I know what I'm saying is being selfish.

But...

...I think you'll be serving in this store for a long time to come...

...along with Satoko.

Conversely, I think if I'm here...

...it will become mutually difficult for us.

It's also so that Masa-chan and Megumi-san won't become anxious.

Even so, I had...

I was preparing to transfer the signboard...

...over to you.

I spoke to Masa-chan and Megumi-san...

...the other day about it...

...and...

...they gave their understanding.

When Naoko comes home at the end of the year...

...I thought I would gather everyone together and talk about it.

Then you went and spoiled it!

It was my fault?

I'm very sorry, Mom.

Sir here isn't at fault.

I'm the one who suggested it.

Well still, Yū-chan.

Yes.

Sensei has already planned to transfer the signboard over to you.

Yes.

She told us, "I'll leave the store to Yū-chan..."

"...and I'll just help out here and there."

Yes.

Even so, you still want to do...

...the store in Shinsaibashi?

Yes.

I'll speak honestly.

I came back after only being one part of a thriving Tokyo store.

And then at this store in Kishiwada, too...

...I was back to doing the same.

I know what I've been doing here...

...is only half of what I can do.

I've endured the chagrin I feel about being here day after day like that...

...and it's as if I'm dead while still alive!

I guess I just can't...

All right!

All right.

I understand completely.

Do as you like.

Oh, Mom!

Thank you, Grandma.

Is it over?

Yeah.

She was unexpectedly calm, wasn't she?

I thought she would lose her temper again.

What's the matter?

Ala, ala.

I lost to his property.

Now, now. Yeah, yeah.

My signboard...

...lost to Kitamura's property.

The signboard I treasured more than life itself and was going to hand over to her...

...that idiot Yūko went and said...

"I don't need that, Kitamura's property is better"!

That may be so, but I think that's different from what Yū-chan intended.

That's right, that's right.

What about Shinsaibashi!

What about that property!

Kitamura that idiot!

Yūko, you idiot!

There, there. Right! Right!

Ohara Dressmaking Store

Lonely.

Empty.

After trying to look so cool for Masa-chan and Megumi-san...

...I was just clumsy.

You should leave already.

Eh?

Just seeing your face...

...makes me feel ill.

You're obstructing my work.

You've...

...put your seal...

...on that Shinsaibashi property already, haven't you?

Yes.

Look...

Hurry and move forward with it.

I don't know what you have in mind for that store...

...but preparing for it isn't something you can do in just your spare time.

If you're gonna do it...

...then concentrate on it.

I don't need you all absentminded around here!

Yes.

Thank you...

Mom.

Okay.

No need to destroy myself over my own clumsiness.

I'll see...

...my own daughter's independence through for myself, Dad.

That's what I thought.

C'mon, Mom!

Well, this daughter's independence is still incomplete.

I don't know! You should deal with those things yourself.

Even so, this is a really bad pattern, isn't it?

No, there's nothing wrong with them!

There is a problem with them, isn't there?

She can't conduct business with such filthy ducts.

I'm telling you, there's nothing wrong with them!

Huh?

There is something wrong, isn't there!?

Once you've undertaken a job, you should make sure it's done right to the end!

I'm going to be eating at this store from here on!

I can't do that with it like that, now can I?!

Oi! There's been a change.

Like this person says, have this duct inlaid.

Thank you, Mom. You saved me!

And you, too.

Huh?

If you can't tell them this much...

...then you aren't fit to be a woman shopkeeper!

Yeah, yeah.

So long, I'm leaving.

Hey you.

I'll be showing my face around here a lot.

Counting on you.

Ah, she really isn't dependable yet.

Well, even so...

...it's true I do feel a little relieved.

Welcome!

Welcome back!

I'm home.

I still have a little more time before...

...I can hand it over to the next one.

I was grateful that the signboard...

...would still be mine until then.

Ohara Dressmaking Store

There!

I'm gonna take it!

Showa 40 (1965) New Year's Day

One, two...!

Cheese!

Cheese!

So long, it's time I go.

Eh? Already?

Yes. I have a little something going on with some colleagues at the company after this.

Yūko's Husband Satoru

Ah... Is that right?

Thank you for coming out of your way.

Not at all.

So long, excuse me.

Thank you.

Ahh... Rie-chan, let's go. Okay.

How are you doing?

At that store.

That's none of your business.

Have sales been bad?

Well...

...that's none of your business.

Well, even so, it's just because of your famous name that you have any sales...

...so please do your best.

I'm sure the number of people who understand you will increase.

It's totally fine!

I'm quitting that store. In the new year.

Huh?

I'm quitting and going to Paris.

Paris?

Genta went there at year's end last year.

I want to see what Paris is like, too.

What?

You still don't make a word of sense!

What happened to those caustic words of yours about running a store under your own power?

What's this about Paris?!

Doesn't this mean you're just incomplete as a person?

Is that any different from you saying you were gonna succeed to this store?

What do you have to say about neglecting this place for your own store?

Moreover, um... That property! What is that?!

Moreover, about that property, I was the one who first talked about getting it!

Shut up!

That has nothing to do with you, does it?!

Those are my words!

What's that!?

That hurt! What are you doing?!

What are YOU doing?! Here!

It's about time for Shizuko and her little ones to come again.

That's true.

Yeah.

Shall we make preparations?

Yeah.

Yes, yes.

Eh? Nao-chan?

Ahh...

Just how old are you guys?

I'm twenty-one and Onee-chan's twenty-eight.

I'm still twenty-seven!

In spite of being old enough to know better...

...I have a full set of idiot daughters!

Hey, moron daughter!

To Be Continued

Yeah?

Stop watching TV and clean this up!
