Don't take your father's wrath lightly.
With things the way they are you'll lose. So quit while you're ahead.
Quit me and quit fighting!
I won't lose to Dad. That's proof of my love for you.
No!
I was wondering if you could do me that favour with the flower store.
I want to change myself.
She came and asked for an introduction to
a new job. Unbelievable, right?
The Weekly Monday is going to write about Muraki's past love scandals
Did my Dad make that happen? - I'm not sure.
But the Muraki bashing just won't stop.
Everything's going to your Dad's plan.
At the time I didn't realise that
from here on...
something much more horrifying would happen.
From this month I became an employee
at the flower shop Christian Chenburg.
I was told that there's a room open in the
office so if I watch the building I don't need to pay rent but
I just couldn't make a decision.
I can't leave that apartment.
I want him to know where I'm living
and what I'm doing.
Even though I pledged not to meet him again
I just can't stop thinking that.
I can't wait to do the photoshoot tomorrow.
I can't either. Thank you.
I'll come at around 11am tomorrow. - Okay.
Is she a new employee? - Yes.
She's got really good sense, I'm thinking I wanna
turn her into our main designer.
Chief, Nakagawa the Personnel Section Manager is here to see you.
Un.
What can I do for you?
Is there room for someone in an overseas office?
Overseas? Who are they and how old are they?
My name is Yosuke Muraki, I'm representing
the Japanese Revolution Party.
Vote Japan Revolution Party.
Tax thief! If you didn't do it make a comment!
I'm Yosuke Muraki. Vote for my party.
We can't allow untrustworthy people to be politicians!
We learn that it's bad to lie from
Elementary School.
I, Midori Hanamizawa will...
Oh that's good~. - Sorry.
Could you stand a little more over?
Yes. - Great, thank you.
Ohhh good good~. Okay!
My name is Kenji Shibusawa. Before I start my official legal training in November
for a month I'll be here lecturing about Public Law.
I think it will all be very useful information so
please do your best to listen and remember it.
Reply please.
If you reply you're more likely to remember what the person's talking about.
It's a good technique. - Okay.
Great. Well to start things off...
My throat's try, let me have this. - Waittt.
I've gotta keep writing til I'm satisfied I've done enough.
Alright. I'll go home. Goodluck with work.
Did you forget something?
I'm going to become a judge.
I have to hear the opinions and stories of both sides
and then find a compromise.
So this is a compromise?
Ahhh who cares. You finished right?
I want some wine. A white wine.
I want to concentrate and work properly today if you're
gunna drink wine go home.
Don't say thatttt. - That's today's compromise.
Welcome home. - Thanks.
If you have a bath drain it after.
Okay.
Dad. - Yes?
Why did you become a bureaucrat?
What's with that question suddenly?
I was just...Wondering if there was something else
you wanted to do.
Yeah there was. - What?
I wanted to be a mystery novelist. - Ee?
When I first got into the MOF
I was still applying for contests too.
This is the first time I've heard this.
It never came to be so I didn't see the point in talking about it.
Why DID I become a bureaucrat?
Yeah, over here is good.
Just lean a little more over this side.
Yeah sure.
Working here is fun. Even if I work all night I don't feel tired.
But...
When I go home I think about it...
I won't lose to Dad. That's proof of my love for you.
I wonder if he still hasn't been destroyed?
He's probably pretty lonely at the MOF...
Good evening. - Ou.
We brought over your favourite, Taiyaki. - Thank you.
This is yours. Sorry for using it without asking haha.
It looks surprisingly good on you. - It's a little big though.
So, congratulations on passing the bar exam.
Oh and on getting married too. - How'd you know?
...Oh yeah.
Jyan! We brought over this too.
What's this? - Look here
It looks like she's doing something new too.
That's good. - You can keep it.
I'll take care of Dad when he's old so
just do whatever you feel is right bro.
Is Dad happy about you two marrying?
No not at all. - He's against it completely.
I was told "never to come to this house again" by him.
Yeah but Dad's not such a big deal.
It'll be fine.
Ken-chan has changed since he passed the bar exam.
How cute. - I loved that smile.
You should quit with Rei-san.
We saw her flirting with the Owner of her flower store the other day.
Yeah, I think she's over you Jikkun.
Well I mean she wasn't really FLIRTING.
Oh yeah, tomorrow is the election
please vote for the Japan Revolution party for me.
Yosuke Muraki is like a disease to me.
That night after you and Dad argued about Muraki at home
everyone started to get all weird.
Muraki-san is an amazing politician. - Isn't he the tax evasion guy?
No! Muraki didn't have anything to do with the tax evasion.
It's all just media bashing and propoganda.
Please vote for the Japan Revolution Party.
I'm not gunna vote. - Vote! Don't order me around.
Oh wow...It's already this late. We should get going.
Now that's a good compromise. - Yeah
Kenji. - Yeah? Please vote for them.
Yeah... - See you later.
You both better go vote! - Yeah
Tomorrow is the national election and the main theme so far
has been an overhaul of the education system.
All the party leaders used to their last chance today to appeal to citizens.
There have been many reforms
that have made the people of Japan
disappointed in the past.
Education reform is different. It's one in a million.
Mr. Kiriyama has been talking a lot about education.
He's right, education is definitely important.
My party won't neglect it.
But it's all just an excuse to delay actual economic rebuilding...
Yes?
Are you at work? - Yeah. Alright call me back.
It's okay, no one else is here right now.
The exit polls came out this afternoon. They aren't good.
They won't be able to win on areas. - How about by proportion?
Yeah that's not looking good either.
I can't believe this is happening...
Great! Congratulations!
In Tokyo 32-ku the newcomer Midori Hanamizawa has been elected.
The Japan Revolution Party's Yosuke Muraki has been defeated.
This isn't a good result for Muraki considering that at one point
he was being eyed as a potential Prime Minister of the future.
And after adding Hanamizawa-san to the Freedom Party's...
Don't worry, we'll be saved by proportion!
We'll definitely use these flowers!
What are you surprised about?
I just thought you'd be really tired but
you look like you're full of energy so...
Well for the last two weeks I've just been pumping so much adrenaline.
My skin feels great too. - Yeahhh
The election's really blowing up, huh.
Maybe I should try out being a politician.
I don't need men anymore if I can be in politics.
Looking back on the lead up to the election
do you think that the people became more concerned suddenly about education reform?
No, considering the results from the exit polls
it would seem that this election hinged more on the people's
trust for the parties.
The last proportion results have come out
Yosuke Muraki from the Japan Revolution Party has made a come back. In the area polls
he was defeated by newcomer Midori Hanamizawa but
he was able to secure a seat through proportion.
And now we have a live feed from Mr. Muraki's office.
How do you feel about the results of today's election?
The defeat of the Revolution party today is completely my responsibility.
You made a come back just before but
Can we not talk about me so much today?
Do you plan on resigning from your position?
I'll leave that up to the party's board of directors.
But what do you think personally?
Like I just said I'll be talking to other party members and...
So you're planning on resigning then?
Muraki was able to protect his seat
but I think that is part of my Dad and Kasumigaseki's big plan anyway...
Or maybe Muraki used his last ounce of strength
to protect his seat?
I don't know which...
And with that I was unable to
make any proper stand against my father...
What have I been doing for these 31 years of my life...
What should I do...?
When I finish my legal training I'm going to become a district court judge
and you'll be alone Dad.
This house is pretty big for just one person.
Who left this magazine here?
Maybe it was Nanami-chan? - Did she come again?
Rei-san looks beautiful as always.
She's pretty strong.
Starting something new in a world she doesn't know.
Maybe you should make the divorce official?
I'm sure it would put you at ease too.
I'm not going to do that.
You want to be a judge but are you sure you're really cut out for it?
If you can't see a crime for what it is
how can you possibly be a judge?
If Rei-san and Bro have comitted a crime then
everyone on this earth is a criminal.
Is what Nanami would say if she was here haha.
I told you I wouldn't accept you two getting married.
That's okay. We'll still get married anyway.
Good night.
I decided to make my daughter take entry exams.
At what schoool? -Keinan University's prep. - Wow
It's all my wife talks about lately. That place is really expensive haha.
Shibusawa-kun - Yes?
The personnel department wants you to move
to the embassy in England.
Why would they want me to go to England?
You loved the idea of Public Servant reform,
wouldn't England be a great place to study it? - I thought there was always 6 months notice
before any transfers were made?
You're single and you have no family if your own.
Prepare for transfer immediately.
Is this punishment for supporting Muraki?
Or is it punishment for falling in love with Rei-san?
It was decided by the personnel department. - What do you want to do Chief!?
Playing around with others people's lives'... Just who and
what are you working for!?
Who are you living for!?
For this country and it's people.
Don't ask me what you already know.
I can't work here anymore.
I'm going to quit the Ministry of Finances.
I handed in my resignation today.
I'd been thinking about it for awhile but
I finally made the decision today.
Ahhhh~ Is there any chance that I could
possibly become your secretary?
Of course. I'd be honored if you came
and worked for me. - Thank you so much.
In a world that's falling apart
an honest and motivated young man like you is a rarity.
After the election I'd lost sense of who I could and
couldn't trust. But I know I can trust you.
Let's revive the Japan Revolution Party together!
Thank you!
You start tomorrow. A new door will definitely open for us.
Let's give it our all! - Yes!
Today is the day Kenji starts his legal training...
My resignation was accepted.
"Sorry but the person you have called is currently unavailable please...."
"Sorry but the person you have called is currently unavailable"
"Sorry but the person you have called is currently unavailable please...."
Sorry. Sensei won't be back for the rest of the day.
Oh really? I've tried calling him numeroius times.
I'll try and contact him again myself but
please tell him that Shibusawa came.
Okay, I'll make sure to pass the message on.
I'll be back again tomorrow. - Sorry about all of this.
Yeah - I can't get in contact with Muraki
did something happen? - Ee?
No nothing's happened.
I actually just met him before in the Member's Hall.
"Before"? When?
Muraki-san?
Who are you?
Please wait! Muraki-san! What's going on?
Muraki-san! Muraki-san!
I came to deliver flowers.
Rei-san, I was waiting for you. - N?
The other day there was a gathering for Muraki and his supporters
and Muraki, who had just been hit really bad in the election
actually seemed really happy.
Don't worry we'll have our chance!
We can definitely do it next time! We'll have the MOF on our side! Cheers!
The MOF was trying to destroy Muraki before
and now he's saying they're supporting him.
It seems weird, right?
He was also saying he'd quit his stance on a
Public Servant Reform System. That goes completely against his manifest.
So I asked Muraki-Sensei about it after the gathering.
"Were you persuaded to do that by"
"the MOF's Kazunari Shibusawa?"
Do you understand what's happened?
Kazunari Shibusawa has ripped apart Muraki-Sensei
and Hitoshi-san.
It's his revenge.
Revenge for Hitoshi stealing you.
So Kazunari Shibusawa must have ordered
Muraki to quit the Public Servant Reform and cut off Hitoshi in exchange for
help to re-organize the opposition government.
The Kiriyama government probably won't last much longer so
he must have offered assistance in winning the next election too.
Ouch...
Hitoshi-san...
What's the matter?
Ahhh oh...Nothing.
It's Rei, I want to talk. Open the door
Hitoshi-san.
It's important, please open the door.
Hitoshi-san.
Hitoshi-san!
Sorry.
Since that morning when I left you
here and walked out of this room
I've always wondered why I couldn't
muster the strength to be with you and
fight alongside you.
It might sound weird but at the time
that was a symbol of my life for you.
But I was wrong. Completely wrong.
What's the matter?
Sorry.
It's fine it's already happened anyway...
I love you Hitoshi.
Please give me another chance to be with you.
Forgive me for what I did.
And please think about living with me.
Stop it.
I don't have the strength to love anybody at the moment.
I don't have anything...
That's not true! I'm here!
I won't leave you like that again.
I told you to stop it. - I won't stop!
You told me that you'd protect me
so many times before now.
So this time let ME protect YOU!
I don't care what happens, I'll protect you!
It's all over though.
I don't know what my goal was...
Or what I wanted to live for.
I don't know anything anymore.
While I'm like this...I can't love anybody.
Why don't you just search for another way to live NOW?
Let's search for it together.
You're different from when
you first came here Rei-san.
The Rei-san that came before was really weak
and if I hadn't protected her she wouldn't have survived.
But you're really strong now.
So what?
You can't love me if I'm strong?
That's just like your father!
I'm fine with you, even if you have nothing.
I love you no matter how you are or what you have.
I can't do it...
Please go home.
Let me be alone.
Okay I'll go.
But I'll never quit loving you.
What occured at France's Benile Penninsula
made Hitoshi, I and everyone else sad
but now I think about it that was only the beginning.
That was where everything changed.
I'll come again another time.
Just like you came to my apartment
over and over again.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
I came with a request.
I want you to fill out divorce papers.
I'll do it...
But before that I want to ask about something.
What?
Why did you fall for Hitoshi?
The only advantage he has against me is his young body.
Is that what you wanted?
Well maybe that was part of it.
But it wasn't JUST about that.
Wow you're frank.
I'm sure you know just how much what you and him
did have hurt me and humiliated me
right?
I'll live with what I did to you for the rest of my life.
Even if I'm reborn I'll live with that crime.
But I can't change the fact I love Hitoshi.
I'm sorry.
So if you came here asking for divorce papers... You want to marry Hitoshi?
That's no big deal.
But living on as your wife on paper is kind of
hard to deal with.
I want to be single and sort things out with Hitoshi.
Sorry.
I'll finish the papers when I'm next in the mood.
Hitoshi-san.
What my goal was...
What I wanted to live for... I don't know anything anymore.
I can't love anyone like this.
What occured at France's Benile Penninsula
made Hitoshi, I and everyone else sad
but now I think about it that was only the beginning.
That was where everything changed.
It'd be good to be able to live how you want to.
I want you and Ken-chan to be happy
that I came along. - We are happy.
Let's leave this house together.
It's not like we'd have nowhere to go.
I won't let that happen.
I don't care if you're selfish! I love you!
Hitoshi-san!
Mom...
I couldn't be a good son to Dad.
But from here on I'll be reborn.
Rei-san told me that
this is a place where everything changes.
It's done.
Your Dad really is amazing.
He was finally able to become the Vice-Secretariat.
Yeah he really is something.
Itadakima~su.**
**Phrase used before eating.
**Good news! Glass no Ie is going to be re-printed for another 50 000! Congratulations!
I'm getting re-printed again. - Oh great!
Aren't you happy your wife brings it in? - Yeah, it's great!
I wonder who that is?
Shibusawa-san, I have an express delivery for you.
**An older time period in Japan
Express delivery? Feels like Showa.**
It's from Dad.
Bye Sensei~. - Bye~!
Go straight home.- Yeah right.
Sensei, tomorrow there's the Spring Ebisu festival on. Make sure you come. - I'll be there.
Bye bye! - See you later. - Bye.
Yamamoto your pants are ripped buddy. - Sensei Bye bye! See you later.
Bye Sensei! - Bye.
Be careful.
Hitoshi-san, Otsukare-sama.**
**Phrase said after work.
What are those?
What do you want to eat tonight? - Hmmm...How about Ajifurai?**
**Deep fried horse mackerel
Okay Ajufurai. We better go buy some Horse Mackeral then.
