"9 years ago..." I've done all I can.

Soon, I plan to tell my gang about it.

And there's the issue of your illness.

It seems your woman's been hospitalized for an illness.

Take out Yamakura, and we'll give you 8million yen.

How could you do a thing like that?

Weren't you done with it all?

That's enough! Leave!

Hurry and find happiness with another guy.

Spring of 2009

Don't tell me...you don't know?

What?

Mariko-san died.

What do you mean Mariko died?

Wasn't her illness cured?

What did that guy do?

Don't tell me he just went after her for the money...

We're going to serve the bread you designed!

-Really? -Really!

-Alright! -Alright!!

Where did the money to start the store come from?

Like I said, what are you talking about?

Tell me the truth...

If you don't...I'll follow you around forever.

What will we do if he keeps harassing us like this?

We'll just accept his challenge.

Mister, are you a scary person?

Yeah.

Reeeally?

Quit following me!

Mister!

Here, as promised.

Yo.

This is your mom?

Who's this?

Mom.

Your dad is a baker?

Mmm.

This here is mom's grave.

I'm sorry.

Say Sachi...

Who is this person?

He's a bad guy.

If something happens to you, it'll be terrible.

Nothing will happen.

I guess you have met him...

Sachi!

When did the baker and Sachi's mom meet?

Mariko-san.

This child...

I will make her happy.

I have a right to know if it's about my sister.

-I hid it. -Eh?

3 days after Sachi's birth.

December 28th, 2000.

Hey hey!

When do you think my birthday is?

I don't know.

You know...my birthday is on-

Sachi is...

Sakura Haruo's child.

Sachi is...

my...

I have a daughter...

I have...

a daughter...

Yes. Thank you very much.

Number 928.

Yes! It's me.

Until now, what jobs have you done?

You've written nothing in your work history.

Is it bad if you don't?

If you don't, it's fine,

but then there's no way I can choose what work to show you.

Eh...

Carpentry...

Carpentry?

Where at?

Somewhere around Chiba.

I see.

About how long?

9 years, I guess.

Okay. Then can you write down the company's address?

Something wrong?

Nothing.

You were actually just picking up jobs here and there, huh.

Actually, I was just doing repair work.

Where?

If you don't give me honest information

who's fault is it when I can't do my job?

It was a prison.

Eh?

It was 9 years of prison work.

Ah...I see...

That's what I said!

This time I'm fully confident in it.

So, please believe me.

Like I was saying, that's a crime!

Why do you always have to cross that line?

If I don't go to those ends, I won't be able to bring in the money.

But that's such bad thinking...

I'm coming in.

How was finding work?

No good, huh...

Well...someday you'll find one.

In a recession like this,

I don't think there's a company that's looking to hire people fresh out of jail.

Negative thinking isn't allowed!

Hey stop it. Stop it...

-Can I take a chip? -Mmm. Go ahead.

-He's right. -Eh?

See!

But, why are you trying to find a normal job?

You never think a little about the situation before you blurt things out.

To be Sa-chan's father, he needs to become a decent person again.

To do that, he needs to improve his lifestyle.

Not happening...

Hey...what's wrong?

Anyways, what we you guys just talking about?

Oh! You want to hear about it?

There's a whole bunch of people that can't stand to do stuff on the net.

We'll create a bank account to serve those people

and if someone wants the service, we'll sell it to him.

When the money transfers from their end to ours,

there'll be a small "hole" in the process. 80k yen profit for us.

Great, huh?

Who would ever use a service with that kind of scheme stuffed into it?

How would you know what people want to do?

-Might be good. -Eh?

What? You want to go back to being a criminal?

It doesn't seem like society wants to let me be a normal person again.

The negative thinking keeps coming back...

For 8 years!

I've raised Sachi.

You think you're the only one who can?

What kind of life can you give her?

What kind of education can give her?

You killed someone, didn't you?

Those hands of yours have been stained.

Want to do it with me?

It'll be good to work a little.

Maybe next time.

Eh?

Ah! Mister!

From now on...

Listen to you father, and be a good kid, okay?

Okay?

And then, Tajima-kun

he fell down and knocked things over.

Pretty dumb, huh?

I know, right?

Hey...

You know...you're really talking a lot about Tajima-kun today.

Maybe...you like him?

Nope nope!

Really?

The guy Sa-chan likes is someone else, right?

Who? Who is it?!

-There isn't anybody! -Who!

I won't say.

Hey, you!

Seems Sachi's more cheerful now.

That's true.

Next time, all 3 of us should go out for the day.

I'll even take care of making dinner.

Mmm!

I'm sure Sa-chan will enjoy it.

Sa-chan, what are you drawing?

Ah! That's a good giraffe!

I wonder if Haruo's doing well...

Hmm?...Who knows...

Yes.

Yes...

About that matter...can you give it a bit more thought?

Yes.

When you're ready, please give us a call, okay?

Thanks. I'll leave it to you.

What's up?

I put an offer in for one of Koizumi Academy's service contracts, and they're asking if I could demo my work.

Eh? That's amazing.

It sounds good and all

but whether just Keiichi can do this by ourselves is the problem.

I'm up for it. Let's do it!

Yeah...without another person it's no good.

Will you be able to find a new worker quickly?

Okay, let's do it like this.

We'll work hard to find someone,

and if we there's someone suitable, we'll take them on.

Mmm.

So, why don't we ask Hello Work! if they have a suitable person?

That's right.

-Right? -Yes.

I guess considering you're 35, you're probably too old.

Are you sure even the manager's wrote that?

No one would actually write the explicitly.

Do the search for me!

I'm already doing the search out of kindness...

It's fine then.

Wait!

I guess we should start with part-time jobs first.

Eventually people will see how well you work. Then, you'll definitely get a full-time job.

That's probably the most realistic way to go, right?

So then all the cleaning work I've done recently didn't count?

Well, you were working at company.

Good morning.

What's wrong?

Ah! It's a UFO!

Really? Where?

L-Let's go this way.

Ah...

What?

Is there another site I can rotate to?

Why?

Well...

Don't give me that, newbie.

It's your own selfish thought. There's no way we'd accomodate that!

Get to work!

-I'm back. -Welcome back.

-Welcome. -Welcome back.

-Hey... -Hmm?

That guy was there...

Who was there?

Like, I said...HIM.

Where?

He was working as a guard.

Guard?

He was working at the construction site near Aozora Park.

That's really near by...

You think he's purposely coming nearby?

Did Sachi notice?

No. It doesn't seem like she did. And I distracted her.

I see...

Where's Sachi?

Huh? When I was in front of the cleaners, I let her go back on her own.

-She hasn't returned. -Eh?

Oh no, maybe Sachi...

Man, why'd you leave her alone?

I'm going to look for her.

-I'm home. -Welcome back.

Hey, where'd you go?

I ran into Saori-chan, so I went to her house to borrow this book.

I see.

Something wrong?

Nope.

Hey, Sachi...

Next time you feel like going somewhere, make sure you let us know.

Mmm!

Alright.

Sachi still hasn't forgotten about him.

Eh?

Yesterday,

she put him in her drawing.

Really...

Good morning.

Thank you.

-Thank you! -Thank you!

Here you go.

-Hey! -Yo, what's up.

Why do you have to do this so close to my home?

Stop it.

Don't bother someone who's seriously working.

Just because you want to work, doesn't mean you have to be a guard here, right?

I shouldn't work?

That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying you not to work in this neighborhood.

They just brought me out here, that's all.

Mmm...isn't there some other job you can do?

In the end, all you need is the money, right?

Being a baker makes so much money, huh?

I make enough to help my daughter achieve her dreams.

If you're jealous about it, find a better job.

You bragging?

That's right.

They're about to dig up the rock at this site.

Don't come by anymore.

Is Sa-chan doing well?

Yeah.

Alright, next up!

Alright, next up!

We'll keep going until everyone can do it. Keep trying, okay?

Alright, next up!

I make enough to help my daughter achieve her dreams.

If you're jealous about it, find a better job.

Dad.

It'd be great if you find a job soon.

That's right.

I'm sure you'll find one!

Thanks!

As long as you're alive, everythink will be okay.

Everything will be okay!

Yeah!

Have you ever worked as a baker before?

Nope.

Is that so.

How about working at 4?

If I could work starting at 4, that'd be the best!

By 4,

I mean 4 in the morning...

Eh? For real?!

But, I have low blood pressure...

A ton of people applied, but there aren't many promising ones.

That's true.

I guess Keiichi was #1 out of this group.

What have you guys thought of me until now?

I guess we can't find another helper.

I guess that's the end of the talks with Koizumi Academy, huh.

Ah...wait.

I've already okay'ed the deal.

-Eh? -Eh?

Why?

I really couldn't say no to the request.

Gosh...

We already agreed that we'd find a suitable helper first, right?

Well, us two can do it.

If we don't take any breaks, we can handle it.

-Right? -Yes...

Will you be okay if you get rid of your breaks?

Mmm.

I'm home.

-Welcome. -Welcome back.

Next week is Parent's Day.

Hmm?

It's that time of year again?

You can go anytime next week.

Dad, can you come?

Um, well. About that...

You dad just picked up a new job.

Looks like he'll be very busy again.

Is it an emergency?

-Well, it kind of is... -Eh...

How about I go? Should be fine, right?

Mmm....

Sachi, I'm sorry.

It's fine, but

if you work too hard, you'll collapse.

I'll be careful.

-Boss, it's the phone. -Mmm.

Might be a good one.

Ah, hello. It's me.

Yes.

40 yrs old and inexperienced?

That's a little...

If you meed him, maybe you'll be able to hire him.

If you have another helper, you might finish in time to go to Parent's Day with Sa-chan.

That's right.

Hello? In any case, let's just meet for the interview.

Yes.

Welcome.

What are you doing?

Hello Work! introduced me.

Eh?!

You?

Yeah.

What are you thinking?

Hey, wait.

I have something to say.

What?

Welcome.

I'll be leaving soon.

He'll also have a coffee.

Yes.

What did you want to talk about?

As long as a person earns money, he's okay right?

Huh?

What's the value of your income?

That's not everything...

But that's an important part.

Even with money, there are people who are horrible fathers.

There are those kind of people.

But I'm different.

I have my doubts as to whether you're a properly being her father.

You've probably never been to her Sports Festival or Parent's Day activities, right?

Yeah.

Looks like we got a serious problem here.

That's not true.

Even without your approval,

I'm properly acting as her father.

I guess that's okay then.

I'm just

pissed that you're acting like some big shot just because you run a bakery.

That's all I wanted to say.

Hey wait!

You were just going say that and leave?

Yeah.

I still haven't gotten my coffee yet.

Whatever...

I said wait!

What?

If we meet and don't have an interview

we'll be lying to Hello Work!

Just do it.

Interview.

I'm coming in.

Welcome back.

Hey. I've found an interesting business.

Eh?

You can go around selling waffles from a car.

They'll rent you the car.

The materials you need to start only cost 30k yen.

Is making waffles that interesting?

Then, you don't have to do anything.

For the price, if we add 10% to the costs, and sell 100 a day

we'll make 10k yen.

If we keep things up like that

I've calculated how much we'd made.

I've got other things to do, so I don't care.

Hey...let's do it together.

If it all goes well, we'll be in heaven.

I'm sorry but...

I've already found a job.

What kind of work?

What? Tell us!

A baker.

Baker?!

Where?

Where?...There...

Eh?

-Don't tell me, THAT bakery? -That's right.

-You've got to be kidding me! -Are you serious!?

What do you mean?

I interviewed with them.

Hey...that's not an answer.

There's no way they'd okay that in the first place.

They're the ones that wanted it.

I can't believe it. What's Sa-chan's dad thinking?

Who knows...

Well, I guess you can see if it'll work out.

Aren't you worried at all about it?

What'll you do if Sa-chan finds out she's met her real father?

The only condition was that I wouldn't say anything about it.

And you were okay with that?

I guess I am now.

I get it! They've got an ulterior motive in all this.

They'll bring you in and show that you can't do anything, that you're hopeless,

that's you're worthless...and then Sa-chan be present for all of it...

That's definitely how it is!

Well, I guess that's a possibility...

-That's pretty interesting. -Eh?

Eh? What do you mean?

That's how it is.

Why? I don't get it.

It just kind of happened that way when we were talking back and forth.

You know Sa-chan still hasn't forgotten about him.

And now you're going to let him in the house.

Even if we kept him away from her

Sa-chan would still think of him anyways.

Considering that,

having him around would be fine, right?

Do you think it'll be safe that way?

Yeah.

Besides,

I figured I'd give him a chance.

A chance?

The only place we shut Sa-chan in

would be her room, right?

That's not how people should live.

I plan on showing him

how good of a family me and Sachi are.

Then he'd understand, right?

I wonder if that'll be okay...

Besides...

Besides what?

I feel that

Mariko would also approve of something like that.

What if that guy tells Sa-chan that he's her real father-

No way. He promised that he'd never say anything about it.

I don't like it...

I keep feeling something bad's going to happen.

Well, it's already been decided.

Good morning.

You're 5 minutes late.

Eh?

I'm right on time.

Put those on.

Ah.

You know, your response should be "Yes".

Yes.

Introduced yourself yet?

Well, I'll be your senior, but nice to meet you.

Yes.

Please wash all of these until they're clean.

All of them?

Today, that's all we need.

Eh?

Here.

-Put them out. -Okay.

This is no good! They're not clean at all.

I wonder what's going on.

Sa-chan!

Ah!

Man, this is dirty...

I can't believe you left it alone until it was like this.

Quit complaining and just do it.

Mister!

Hey.

Sachi, good morning.

What's going on?

From now on,

Haruo's going to be working with us here.

Eh? Really? That's awesome!

Hey now, you're getting in the way.

We don't have to sit around.

Should I help out?

No no.

Sa-chan, you can't mess around.

You're going to be late for school.

Mm!

It's awesome! Haruo's here!

Really?

Have you taken a look?

Mmm? I'm okay.

Here!

-Thanks for the food! -Mm.

Hey! Why'd you come to our place?

I know!

You probably want to become a baker!

Hey.

Hey!

Sachi.

Haruo's busy working, so don't bother him.

Ehhhh...

Yeah. It's getting too noisy, so get to school.

Yeeess!

Oh yeah. Sachi!

Since we've hired some help, I can go to Parent's Day with you.

-Really? -Yeah.

-How about I come tomorrow afternoon? -That's fine.

Ah...

What's wrong?

Tomorrow morning's no good?

Well, I have to get to Koizumi Academy early in the morning

so I really don't have much time to go in the morning.

Something wrong?

Nope.

-I'm heading off. -Be safe.

-Be safe. -Be safe!

Tomorrow, huh...

Kanako-san

-There's some guy... -Mmm?

She's been wandering around the front of the store for a while now...

Eh?

She's...

She's been here recently, right?

Work hard Haruo!

Even though I said that, I'm still feeling uneasy about this.

I wonder why.

Being around his daughter...

I wonder if that's making Haruo happy.

Because...

It feels like he has to shut in his own feelings.

It's done.

Alright. You're good for today.

I see.

-Tomorrow we're going to be busy. -Eh?

Ah.

What are you doing?

Ah.

If you don't head back, they're going to worry about you.

But...

Tomorrow dad's coming to Parent's Day.

Really?

Well, during PE class,

I haven't been able to raise myself over the bar.

Not being able to do that is fine, right?

Nope.

Try it now.

I can't though.

C'mon...

See, I really can't.

Man, this is really simple stuff.

You just have to jump off the ground and spin around the bar.

See?

Try it.

So if you kick your legs, you'll drop better?

Eh?

If you do that, maybe it should work.

You try it yourself.

With those hands of yours,

please don't ever touch Sachi.

Yes! I did it!

Ah.

Thanks!

Mmm.

Try again!

No way.

C'mooooooon...

Huh? I can't do it anymore...

I did it! I can do it!

Yeah!

Alright, next time do it without my helping you.

Mmm.

Alright. That was a good one.

-Just a little bit more. -Mmm!

Alright.

I did it. I did it!!

Yah. Good job!

-Watch! -Mm.

Thanks a bunch, Mister.

No problem.

Since my dad suddenly was able to go, I wanted to make him proud.

Is that so?

You think my dad will be happy?

Mmm. I think so.

Keep it a secret that we practiced together!

I got it.

Then, I'm heading back, okay?

Bye bye!

Ah.

There's no time left, so pick up the pace.

Yes.

Dad, today you definitely have to come.

Of course.

You promise?

Yah.

-I'm heading out! -Be safe!

Alright, next up.

Alright, next up.

Alright, next up.

Alright, next up.

Haruo's really keeping up being a baker.

That's because he gets to see Sa-chan everyday, right?

Even though they're father and daughter, you still don't want to say it?

Whatever.

Ouch! Owwowowowow!

When you serve people, make sure you give them to biggest ones.

Serve who?

There was a party at Hori-chan's house.

I wish we could have one here.

So you ARE working hard.

You weren't just slacking off.

So, is this bread you baked?

Hurry up and go. You're getting in the way.

But, we came to get in the way...

Those people...

They know Sa-chan is Haruo's daughter.

Brother,

even though you're really stubborn, you have to tell him.

I know. You don't have to tell me that.

Can you please quit working at our place?

Even though you're siblings, you're nothing like Mariko.

Don't compare me with my sister.

Don't tell me, you like Haruo, huh?

Eh?

I don't want to hear that from you too.

The bus Keiichi got on was in an accident.

Is he injured?

About Shiori.

Whenever you're not around, she gets really lonely.

Eh?

Well, don't say anything about her liking you when she gets back.

What's wrong?

I had a fever, so I came back.

Fever?

My dad's probably sleeping, so don't call him from down here.

I'm never going to that store again.

Are you really okay with that?

Even though you're her real parent...

That has nothing to to with you.
