Hayama, Matsuoka, Tachibana, Aoki,

Sato Genji, Noda,

and also...

Either way, in this situation...

staff reductions are unavoidable.

Why me?

Because you're young.

Since you're young, even now... you can start afresh.

That's the company's reasoning.

So unlike the other six...

you shouldn't see this as entirely negative.

Wanna go grab some food?

Nah, I'm good...

I see.

♪ (Chindon-ya band music)

- I'm heading out. - Okay.

- What? Money? - Uh... yeah.

Here.

Oh, Kazuya, what about your job?

Yeah, I have the day off today.

Ah, I see.

What are you planning to do now?

But still, I can’t believe I'm saying could something like this to my own son.

Kazuya, it's Grandma...

Huh?

Grandma.

Grandma?

Today, due to circumstances, we will be closed.

I... I'm truly at a loss for words...

Oh, please, don't...

I'm her ex-husband.

She's her daughter.

He's my husband, Mr. Ōmiya.

Mr. Ōmiya.

Well then, if you'll excuse me.

They fired us and then give us a necktie?

Thank you so much for everything over the years.

Alright, let's go, let's go.

Okay.

That's not it! Damn it!

Wanna rob a bank?

Rob a bank?

Bank robbery.

Are you sure about giving us so much?

Oh, am I bothering you?

Oh, not at all! We're always in your debt.

Oh, welcome home.

I'm home.

Ah.

- Well, I'll take my leave. - Thank you so much.

Whoa, amazing!

Somehow... He brings us vegetables every single day.

Huh.

Hup!

Is it good?

Welcome.

Huh? Kazuya?

Me?

I bought this.

Hang in there, okay?

Ouch!

Thank you very much.

Ah...

What is it?

Can't be helped.

Huh?

- That seems broken. - Really?

Yeah... whatever.

Ah!

This is from Sakamoto-san.

I heard he wasn't prosecuted, Sakamoto-san.

Yeah...

- Oh, sorry. - Ah!

Did you find a job?

No, not yet.

- Hmm? Is it good? - Yeah.

It’s a problem if you work unwillingly, you know.

What do you mean by “unwillingly”?

I mean, there’s no one who’d willingly come to a place like ours.

First off, even your last job, that was through dad's connections, right?

- Excuse me? - Coming!

This won't work.

You know how our company is, right?

Anyway, about your last job, why'd you quit? Huh?

Well, it's not that I quit...

Ah, whatever. Here.

Try dressing a bit more properly next time, okay?

You do own a tie, don't you?

I can't help you.

You know how my work is, right?

Anyway, your last job, why'd you leave?

Ah, whatever.

Just dress a bit more properly next time.

You have a tie, right?

Welcome. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Oh! Welcome! Right this way, please.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey mister, come over here. We've got lots of nice girls.

Come on, step inside.

Mister!

Welcome! Do you have a reservation?

No, I don't.

This way, please.

Here you go.

Excuse me.

Welcome!

It's hot, isn't it?

Oh, wait a second.

- Huh? - Please.

Kazumi, shift change.

Oh?

As for me, all I can do is say congratulations.

But isn’t Kazuya’s opinion the more important one?

No, I don't particularly...

But still... to be with the person who killed Grandma...

Somehow, I feel at peace. When I'm with him,

he cherishes me, truly.

That's why I'm happy now.

When?

What?

The wedding.

When, you ask...

At my age, we won't do anything fancy...

We'll just keep it simple like this... I thought I should at least inform everyone.

So I'm telling you now,

in that accident, Sakamoto was a victim too, you know.

- Thank you very much. - Are you alright?

Yeah, just wait a moment, okay?

Welcome.

Oh? What's up?

- Nah, it's nothing. - Hmm.

It's still so hot, isn't it?

Yeah.

A penlight?

You brought it?

What's it for?

How unusual for you to bring a penlight.

Wanna play word chain?

- Huh? Yeah? - Word chain?

- Word chain. - Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah. - Hmm...

Tofu.

Weird word to start with, huh?

- Yeah, I like tofu. - Yeah.

Well (ma-)...

No way, you're saying something like that with that face?

Hmm… something feels off.

'Ko'... ko.

That...

- Panties. - Panties? Hmm.

What'll you do?

Huh? I'm buying them.

Though it'll all come out of my paycheck.

By yourself?

Yeah.

By myself.

What color do you like?

- Hmm... for panties? - Yeah.

So, white then?

You look like someone who'd like white.

Seems like he's busy.

Ugh, this rain.

But it'll probably stop soon. The sky's clearing up.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I'm heading to the salon now.

Looks like the air was leaking.

That's a nice bicycle.

Please feel free to ask me anything.

I’m not sure if I can fulfill the role of a father, though.

Your hair's gotten quite long.

Anything you want to eat?

Don't hold back, just say it.

- Hello? - Ah, it's me.

Oh, yes.

Tomorrow, the probation officer will bring you over.

Okay.

Welcome back. Come in.

Oh, you're here?

Yeah.

Welcome home.

Welcome back.

Joe, Mari, look - it's Uncle.

- Where's your 'Hello, Uncle'? - Hello.

- Good girl. - Okay, all done.

- Sit down. - Okay.

- Did you eat anything? - Yeah, I ate.

I brought some mizu yokan... Want some?

Oh, sounds good.

Okay, Mom's getting the mizu yokan. Mari-chan, come here.

I want a small piece!

- Which one do you want? - I want a small piece!

Mari-chan, you come too. Let's eat the mizu yokan.

- I'm not a baby. - Don't you want it?

Here, come on.

There we go.

Coming.

Eat up.

- Can you unwrap my spoon? - Sure.

Let's make a toast then.

In India, at times like this... What do you say?

(It's by the grace of God.)

Ubar...

(It's by the grace of God.)

That's right.

Well then...

(It's by the grace of God.)

- It fell down. - Yeah?

I'll do it myself. Over there...

Eating over there? Then you two eat together.

Get along now.

Kazuya?

Ah!

Wanna eat?

Miss, want some gum?

Excuse me.

Hey, Kazuya!

Hey, welcome back. Good work.

Hey, everyone.

You're looking well, huh?

- Here you go. - Ah, excuse me.

Pardon me.

If it's okay here...

he says you can work.

Ha, it's hot, isn't it?

- Mr. Koyanagi. - Yes.

- Ah, thank you, thank you. - Hello.

- Did you recognize him right away? - Yes.

- Ah, thank you. - Thank you.

Welcome back.

You must be nostalgic seeing everyone.

By the person who laid you off, you were hired back.

Um... what is this?

It's a rocket.

Ex... excuse me. May I?

Are you making it?

Yes. Everyone chipped in for the retirement money.

- It's because this is the place. - Yeah.

- Take your shoes off. - Okay.

You can use this place.

I'm heading back now. Call me if anything comes up.

Got it.

Here we go.

Good evening.

Oh!

I'm Nozaki.

Ms. Nozaki?

Haven't you heard about me?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Your face doesn't look much like his, huh?

Ah...

- Thank you. - Oh, please, go ahead.

I-I said 'go ahead'. Sorry, acting like it's my place.

Welcome home!

Welcome home.

Yeah.

Thanks for your hard work.

Oh, the bath is ready.

Ah, thank you.

You getting in?

Not yet.

- I'll leave this here. - Mm-hmm.

Ah! Sorry.

You're drenched.

- Did you eat? - Yeah, earlier.

Then I'll head home.

Oh, okay.

'Night. Good night.

Well then. Good night.

Despite how she seems, she's actually going through a lot.

Morning!

Morning!

- My daughter... - What?

This is my daughter, Taeko.

See you tonight.

Taeko.

Hey mister, right this way. Come on in.

We have younger girls too.

Welcome. Who are you requesting?

Is Sachiko here?

Certainly.

We have Pine, Bamboo, and Plum tiers. Which package would you prefer?

Plum.

That'll be 15,000 yen upfront.

Okay.

I'm Sachiko!

Sachiko?

That's me.

Here, your hands.

Sachiko?

Yes?

Here, this way.

Hey.

Your father just went home.

I see.

Right.

Do you wanna come inside?

Alright.

Get in. It's fine, really.

It's cramped, isn't it?

You probably won't believe this,

but if it's just about reaching space, our technology is perfectly capable.

But guaranteeing a safe return is impossible, you know.

Here.

Oh!

Sorry.

Your father, see...

he insisted on boarding no matter what.

About this, don't tell anyone, okay?

Just launching the rocket is already a major crime, got it?

Ugh, it's ridiculous.

Japan's space program is so far behind.

Welcome home!

I'm back.

Ah, welcome back.

Nice bicycle.

Who are you?

Taeko.

Did you know?

Your father tried to kill himself.

My mother stopped him.

And then, my mother...

is keeping an eye on your father to make sure he doesn't get any...

dangerous ideas.

Your father... still wants to die even now.

I can tell.

That's why he builds things like rockets.

Hey, why haven't you... killed yourself?

You murdered someone, right?

Just because you weren't executed,

does that mean... you get to keep living?

Are you here for Sachiko?

Whether she's still around here... I'm not sure.

OK.

Here you go, thanks for waiting.

Welcome.

Go ahead.

Got it.

Welcome.

Thanks for the food.

'Scuse me.

Um... where's number 13?

Excuse me.

I...

I was in prison.

Prison?

- Huh. - Yeah.

What did you do?

Murder.

Murder...

Huh.

This.

What? What is this?

Open it.

I meant to give this to you back then.

Panties.

Did you go buy it yourself?

Yeah...

How much did this cost?

3200 yen.

3200 yen? Heh.

Such a boy.

Wanna go to the sea?

- The sea? - Yeah.

Yeah.

Alright.

Shall we go?

Electric jellyfish.

Laxative.

Laxative... Stomach medicine!

Limbo dance.

Watermelon seeds.

Cat.

Kitten.

Gold coin.

Huh? What?

- Gold coin. - Splash!

Ah~

Hi...

Murderer.

Haa...

Can I ride it?

Yeah.

It's a bike.

I'm home.

Oh, welcome back.

Where's Ms. Nozaki?

She left.

Hey, hey.

Can you do this for me?

My hair.

Ah.

It's all uneven.

There, right there.

Mmhm.

You're pretty good.

Where'd you learn that?

Ah, just picked it up.
