If you sell the affiliate company in Tokyo together with the right to sell Daneihon,

I'm sure someone will buy them for 70,000 yen.

In other words, we'd be able to protect Tachibana Nutritious Food in Osaka.

Then we'll entrust this matter to you.

Azuma Sensei continued to negotiate for the best possible price

to sell Tachibana Nutritious Food Sales Company and the right to sell Daneihon

for the sake of Fuku-chan and Manpei-san.

2 weeks later

I paid off the fine of 70,000 yen in its entirety.

The right to sell Daneihon must've sold then.

A company called Toyokawa Shokai bought the company in Tokyo and the selling right.

The CEO of that company is a trustworthy person.

He told me that Daneihon is a wonderful product.

- Is that so. - Yes.

Now you won't have to sell your company in Izumiotsu.

Thank you very much.

Still, it's sad, isn't it, Manpei-san?

Of course it is. It's frustrating.

When Shinichi-san and Sera-san worked so hard for us.

But there's good news too.

The slogan, "Manpei Brand's Daneihon" will remain as is.

- What? - That is the buyer's wish.

He said that's how people know it.

That sign will also stay.

Manpei Brand's Daneihon.

Even when I'm in prison? People must have a bad impression of me.

Everyone knows that Manpei-san did no wrong.

No one thinks that scholarship for the employees was

- a method to evade taxes. - Of course, there are some cruel people too.

Like drawing graffiti on the signs.

And calling Daneihon DAMEihon .

- And... - Fukuko.

- Yes. - You can stop now.

I'm sorry.

But those are children who don't understand anything.

The grown-ups know that those children were saved by Daneihon.

- Azuma Sensei. - Yes.

Is there any way we can get Manpei-san out of here?

The sentence has already been determined. There's no way, Fukuko.

Then for 4 years...

When the baby is born, you won't be there?

Gen is starting to ask where his dad is.

Is Gen talking now?

- Yes. - Is that right.

So Azuma Sensei, I beg you please.

Please return Manpei-san to us.

I'll think of a way.

- You told them you'll think of a way? - Yes.

OZAKI TAE

You do realize that Tachibana-san's already in prison.

- I know. - Even if he's a model prisoner,

- he won't be able to get out right away. - I know.

What's happened to you, Azuma Sensei?

You're not acting like your usual self.

Besides, you're probably not going to make any money on this case.

That's not the point.

Can you pay me?

You'll...get paid, of course.

Thank you for introducing us to Azuma Sensei.

Even though it was for a short time, thank you for everything.

I enjoyed the ramen here.

- When are you going back to Osaka? - On the night train today.

Won't you be coming back to Tokyo anymore?

I'd like to come back, but I don't know if I will.

- Kanbe-san. - Yes.

I...

I...

I will be rooting for you.

Thanks.

Good bye then.

Goodbye.

Kanbe-san... What were you talking about with Miyo-chan?

We were watching from the window here, you know.

I was just telling her that I was going back to Osaka.

Miyo-chan was crying, you know.

- Did something happen with Miyo-chan? - Something like what?

Weren't you meeting her without telling us?

- She wouldn't be crying otherwise. - That's right!

How can that be possible? For me, there's Taka-chan.

What's with this silence?

Oh, uh, um...Kanbe-san... I've said this before too, but

- Miyo-chan's a pretty woman. - So what?

Miyo-chan definitely liked Kanbe-san, but

you're still going around saying Taka-chan, Taka-chan. I can't understand you.

You guys were going around saying Taka-chan, Taka-chan too.

Sure we did.

But compared to Miyo-chan...

You guys are weird. Taka-chan's way prettier than Miyo-chan.

You're not going to find a beauty like her in all of Osaka, no, all of Japan.

Why are you silent?

Don't overexert yourself, Fuku-chan.

I'm not. I'm in my second trimester so things have settled down.

There's that too, but I'm talking about emotionally.

Emotionally?

Yes. I really admire you for acting cheerfully in front of everyone, but

I know you're the one who's worried the most about Manpei-kun and the company.

When the going gets tough, tell me.

If it's something I can do, I'll do anything.

Thank you, Shinichi-san.

I am so blessed with people.

Shinichi-san, Azuma Sensei...

That's because it's you, Fuku-chan.

Good fortune is on your side, Fuku-chan.

Thanks. Shinichi-san.

My daughter must be terribly unlucky.

Mother of Dotonbori

Her husband was arrested by Occupation Forces again and was sent to prison...

Who would've thought her life would be filled with hardships like this...

She has no luck with men. Manpei-san is bringing her bad luck.

Tachibana Manpei is ...

a late bloomer.

Late bloomer?

He will have many more ups and downs.

More?!

Damn, damn. Argh, goddamnit.

You're always cussing and swearing.

Are you thinking that you didn't do anything wrong?

- I didn't do anything. - Huh?

But they got you in here, so there's nothing you can do.

You normally don't get pissed, do you?

GODA KAZUTAKA

Once people like that get fired up,

there's no stopping them anymore.

You're gonna do something crazy one of these days and find yourself in hot water.

By getting on those guys' wrong side.

That's right. There's nothing you can do anyway,

so you might as well enjoy your life here. Like me.

- I'm different from you. - What's different?

I have comrades who support me.

Oh, yeah? I guess that's different.

There's no one like that for me. No one like that.

- Damn. - Then leave the matter to

those comrades of yours and stop being so uptight.

Okay? I'm saying this for your sake.

Come on. Smile.

It was the afternoon of that day that Fuku-chan

returned home to Izumiotsu.

- Welcome home, Madam. - Thank you.

Shinichi-san, everyone, welcome home.

I'm home, Taka-chan.

Welcome back.

- I'm home, Gen-chan. - Was Manpei-san doing well?

He was more worried about everyone and the company than himself.

Have you completely vacated the office?

Yeah. But the new company will sell Daneihon for us.

Our lawyer, Azuma Sensei, worked hard for us.

He said he'll see if he can do anything to get Manpei-san out of there soon.

Can he do that?

In any case, we're going to continue making Manpei Brand's Daneihon right here.

I'm grateful that we can at least do that.

Let's do what we can until the president comes home.

We bought a present for everyone.

Kaminari-okoshi* from Asakusa. .

Kaminari-okoshi again? Is that the only thing they have in Tokyo?

- Again? - Hey, why not?

- Personally, I really like it. - Please have some.

- We bought a whole bunch. - Sera-san came the other day

- and brought us kaminari-okoshi too. - Sera-san did?!

He came all the way when he has a fractured foot?

Fractured?

Wasn't he walking with a crutch with a splint around his ankle?

He was walking normally. He said he fixed the fracture with his willpower.

- He fixed it with willpower?! - There's no way.

- See? He was lying. - Is that what you thought too?

- I did. - We sure think alike.

- We were meant for each other. - Yes, we were.

Who cares anymore.

Hello. Tachibana Nutritious Food.

This is the Tokyo Finance Bureau.

Tokyo Finance Bureau?

President Tachibana was recently declared guilty of tax evasion by the American Military Police Court, wasn't he?

We are collecting back taxes on the amount of that tax evasion.

Back taxes?

The taxation amount is 100,000 yen.

Uh...does that mean you're telling us to pay 100,000 yen?

- 100,000 yen?! - What's going on, Fukuko!
