The top four sellers will be gifted with a gorgeous travel to a hot spring
A pad revolution has occured in 2007
In this pad, there's numerous layers
It will give you two sizes up !
I give up ! I am what I am
Okay !
Ah ! So, there are people who can't stop packing and take unneeded bags !
Really ? I though that I have less bags than usual
With this ?
Your bags and your breasts are the same, too BIG !
Excuse me... Have you got one of these ?
Good morning !
- Your bag is so big ! - Do you intend to go abroad ?
Aoyagi-san, it seems there's a large variation of springs at the place we're going to !
I'm really anticipating it ! Let's take a bath together, okay ?
It would be nice if one has big breasts, right ?
Hi, everybody ! Welcome !
Managing Director, you're coming too ?
Who said I will leave you all ?
- Let's get in, everybody ! Let's get in ! - Yes !
Why is he coming with us ?
Marie ! Mari ! Mari ! [Song: "Yeah! Meccha Holiday" - Matsuura Aya]
Marie-chan !
Commoner trips are fine !
Commoner ?
Let's find a date together, Manager !
I'll pass on it
Amazing !
Managing Director !
Like I'll go to the hot spring with you.. !
- Is it OK here ? - OK !
- Next, this shelf ! - Yes !
You seem to be in better shape than usual
Really ?
Ooyama-kun is not here. Will you be ok?
Yes ! No problem !
Today, Aoyagi and Mariya aren't there, but the sales amount should be the same
You're going to take over the scene
It's a chance to rise your personal results
Our personal results...
- I'm firmly counting on you - Yes !
Morita, it's been a year since you came here...
We can't call you a newcomer anymore
Do your best, so you can get the next prize from the directors
Yes !
- I have faith in you - Yes !
Sorry..
- Do your best, Morita-kun - Yes !
I swear to you. The director is lucky to be so at ease
Without the top sellers, keeping our sell amounts is clearly impossible
Of course, it isn't ! Right, Mori....
Morita-kun ?
- Welcome - The toilets ?
Curious inn...
Hot springs ! Hot springs !
Let's take a bath together, right ?
Thanks for taking care of us

Thanks to XrayMind and Kzaru for the raw files
I'm sorry but, today,
although you have come here expressly,
unfortunately, the director and the managing director are absent
There, you'll find the accessory department
Where you can purchase some goods that will please your great daughter
What are...
I missed this
This one ?
This is a bag I gave my wife a long time ago
Is it ?
This is Ijuin-sama.
He's an important customer for Marukoshi
Yes
Erm... Ijuin-sama...
I... My stomach hurts so... I'll take my leave
- Could you show it to me ? - Certainly !
It's a good bag, no different from then
Thank you
I'd like you to gather a hundred of them
Hundred ?
In fact, I thought of offering it as a gift for my great daughter's wedding...
It's a shame but... she's pregnant
I intend to give them to close relatives, so I'm in a hurry
It's a chance to rise your personnal results
I have faith in you
So this is it ?
The reception is in three days, on Sunday
So, before it, packing the bags
and delivering them to the Kobe Royal Port Hotel, is it possible ?
Yes, sure !
If we collect them rapidly from the maker,
we will be able to answer your expectations
How reliable... As expected from Marukoshi
I leave it to you
Yes, thank you
Yes !
TA-DA
What is this ?
Amazing !
I bought them yesterday, let's eat them together
- Stop it ! - There's only sweets !
Is this a trip ?
Here
A board ? [Nanaita Senbei: Rice cookie board]
A board...
What about a game ?
A "life with mountains and wall" game !
You've taken this too ?
I have a Mah-jong too
You have everything in this, right ?
I don't know the rules but, since I know Ooyama-san likes it...
I like it but... Mah-jong is played with four players !
If you don't know the rules, we can't play, right ?
You're right...
You're funny, Marie-chan
What are we using this for ?
We let them float in the hot springs !
The hot springs... ?
Aaaah... I'm sleepy !
Huh ? What about the hot springs ? I took the trouble to bring toys !
It seems I have caught a cold... Cough cough !
This is rather sudden...
- This morning, you were alright.. - Are you fine ? Take some medicines
Hi ?
Ah ? Aoyagi ?
The garden is beautiful
This is an all different feeling
Do you want to have a walk ?
A walk ?
Understood
The managing director asked if we would like to have a walk
He said the garden was amazingly beautiful
Is it so beautiful ? Let's go !
Right ! It's so much better than playing weird games in this room
I'll go too !
- I don't feel well so I'll pass - Really ?
Take your medicine, ok ?
We're leaving !
Now !
Hot springs ! Hot springs ! Hot springs !
You take a walk with her and lead her to a place with no one and...
Where's Aoyagi ?
She seems to have caught a cold. She's resting in our room
A cold ? What the... ?
Where is the beautiful garden ?
There, behind...
You're right ! It's beautiful !
I'm sweating I'll take a bath
What ?
Hi, dad ?
I have forgotten to tell you something important
Again ?
Did you add something unfit to the pink pig ?
No, I didn't
Ok
Leave it this way no matter what
If you give it something bad, a calamity will occur
A calamity ? Everything's fine !
The mille-feuille...
What is this?
Maybe I did it.. ?
That's bad ! Take it off now !
I can't take it off !
I'm in a hot spring right now !
That's bad ! Come back now and take it off !
Calamity will really occur !
Don't worry..
I mean this pig has no effect whatsoever
Don't say a stupid thing !
Anyway, I can't do it now !
- Woah ! She hang up ! - Dad, where are you ? Dad !
I'm here...
A mille-feuille?
Yes, a mille-feuille ! A pad ! A P-A-D !
P-A...
It's on the head of a pink pig, you will find it at once
And what about it ?
I want you to take it off his head
My landlord has a key. It's very important ! Please !
I'm busy now. I can't.
Megumi-chan wants to eat a mille-feuille ?
Are you talking nonsense again ?
Since it's difficult to do, we call it it a muri-feuille... [muri: impossible, unreasonable...]
Here
Marie-chan, that's amazing ! It's blowing !
Really ! That's amazing !
That's like a Densuke watermelon ! (Densuke huge watermelons are famous for their sweetness, unequalled by other types of watermelon)
Densuke watermelon ? (Densuke huge watermelons are famous for their sweetness, unequalled by other types of watermelon)
- Go on ! - That's okay ?
Densuke watermelon...
Didn't you catch a cold ?
I've come just to wash my face
You could wash your hair too...
Since I'm here, I thought I should see the springs
You could see them from our room
Really ? I had no idea
DENSUKE !
What was this ? They were as big as my head !
Can you see something ?
If I could get on someone's shoulder, I could manage...
Kuzunuma-san, Is your stomach fine?
- Did you, by accident, sell this ? - Yes, a hundred of them
Hundred.. ?
You sold one hundred cursed bags ?
Cursed ?
- Didn't you know ? - What ?
There's a rumour saying that the people selling it will face calamities
A rumour.. ?
Being hurt... Being divorced...
- This man has lived the worst - Huh ?
Before he became the vice-director, Kuzunuma sold this bag
He had abundant hair yet and then, in a blink...
What are you doing ?
I'm sorry to make you do this...
You're lucky that was me...
If the sales staff saw you in this shameful situation, they would have seriously taken care of you...
Be aware of your position as a managing director
Hundred ? Did you check our stock ?
Yes, there's three days left and...
I thought that we could make it if we collect them from the maker
These bags can only be found here
Furthermore, the maker has gone to bankruptcy 6 years ago
What ?
I always told you
When you're selling a big amount, you have to confirm the situation of our stock first
I'm sorry...
This bag is special
The cursed bag... !
That's not it !
The director asked me...
To leave it, even if it's in a corner of the point of sale
Well, I don't know the details either...
What should we do.. ?
Since we have been supplied once a year
If we check the appointments, we'll find where our stocks come from
Which appointment ?
Matsubara knows it
Matsubara-san has taken a break today
I'm coming ! Don't strip anymore, Marie-chan !
Answer, Matsubara !
A key to solve the curse ! A key to solve the curse !
It's useless. I called him numerous times and he doesn't answer
That fool !
If I'm not mistaken, the office of this maker was in Takinogawa
- Takinogawa ? - North Takinogawa...
There it is ! That's it !
Sarai shoten !
Thank you to have taken part in our sales' increase
Tonight we're putting away ranks
Everybody have fun tonight and have energy for tomorrow
Then, Cheers !
Cheers !
- Thank you - Applause !
Hello ?
Excuse me ?
Sarai-san ?
Here it is ! Please drink ! Here !
Managing director, please drink ! Here !
Managing director ! You look like a rakugo story teller
Erm, my butt hurts a little...
Hemorrhoids !
Hemorrhoids ? I have medicine Should I get it ?
Good ! One Zabuton! (From "Shoten", a rakugo TV show. Zabuton are really heavy cushion)
Ok !
This isn't hemorrhoids !
He said, "this isn't hemorrhoids !"
- Listen please ! - I've been listening for a while now
- Please - That's really sad
I can't take a bath with you..
- It is - I'll take this
- Please - Thanks
You're not, by all means, plotting to get Mariya-san and I drunk to go to a spring alone, right ?
I wouldn't do that !
That's a shame but, didn't you know I'm strong against alcohol ?
One more please !
What the hell !
[Matsubara Tetsuhito] By...the...way...
Anyhow, that's a stupid password
Even if you try, it's useless
- What about Marie... ? - Oh Marie ! Good idea !
Ma...ri...e
- I'm back - Good work !
How did it go ?
The director is dead and they stopped working 3 years ago
I don't know where are the stocks
What about you ?
No good... We don't know the password
What are we going to do if the maker is dead ?
It's a fact that we are receiving the goods, so...
We are settling with the factory that produces them
But Matsubara is the only one who knows this factory
Anyway, if we find Matsubara, we'll find out where this factory is
Yes !
So what are we going to...?
You are going back home Work hours have finished long ago
But... we are worried...
I'm responsible !
I can't leave
Morita, you are not
I am the one who told you to increase your sales...
I am responsible
Don't be worried You have work tomorrow
- Understood - We'll take our leave first
Good work
Morita-kun, come...
To play ping-pong after drinking so much...
She's strong against alcohol..
But... in the meantime...
You're good, Marie-chan !
No, I'm not...
Here's your chance. There's nobody in the springs
What are you saying ? I was just going to the toilets
Since when are they playing so seriously..?
Where's the ball ?
Between them !
No ! So disgraceful !
Mariya-kun, could you be my opponent next ?
Yes ! With pleasure !
As I said, like father like son
Hi ! Aoyagi speaking
It's Tamura. Is Matsubara with you ?
Matsubara-san ? No, he hasn't come here...
Weird... I called his mansion manager
and it seems he has gone to a hot spring
Since it's him, I thought he would go there
Did something happen ?
Yeah, in fact, something terrible happened.
What ? This bag ? Hundred ?
If the maker has ceased the business, how can we gather them ?
There has to be some stock in a factory
But only Matsubara knows where this factory is
This is a cursed bag !
So, Matsubara has been cursed and should have died somewhere !!!
What is this curse ?
Hm ? It's a rumour...
Saying that someone touching this bag will have bad luck
A curse ! That's quite a thing !
But... Director.... Kuzunuma...
- I touched it more than ten times - What ?
It was just a natural phenomenon
The bag didn't do anything
This bag has a peculiar history
A peculiar story ?
This is the last bag the previous director's friend made
He was a good craftsman and he was proud of it
Effectively, the leather and the construction are good. It's a great bag
In his days, it was sold easily... but as time passes by, it became more difficult
Nevertheless, the previous director kept it
A great good is always great. Fashion doesn't matter
Even if there is only one bag sold each year...
Answering to this need is the mission of the department store
I learned this from the previous director
That's why even now I'm still keeping it
Ijuin-sama surely has understood this bag's value
After all, he has good eyes
Sorry
I received a picture from director Tamura
It's this bag ?
Actually, I was curious to know why it was in the altar !
Anyway, let's look for Matsubara
Ijuin-sama is an important frequent customer. There's three days before the ceremony
We have to send them to Kobe so... If we don't gather 100 by tomorrow, we won't make it
From what his mansion's manager said, he left in his car to go to a hot spring
He surely intend to come here on his own
Then, why isn't he here yet ?
Huh ? Why am I here ? Where am I ? I should contact someone
Mobile phone... Mobile phone ? Mobile phone ? Huh ? It's not here! Huh ? In the locker !
A pay phone !
MARIE-CHAN !!!
HELP ME !
I don't know it
Yoshino, do you know Matsubara's phone number ?
No and I don't want to
What's wrong ?
It doesn't help to stay patiently here. I'll look in the neighbourhood
- I'll come with you ! - Me too !
Wait a second !
Let's part in two teams
- Aoyagi-kun, I.. - I'll go with you !
Managing Director, go with Yoshino
- Let's go, Managing Director - Ok, ok ! Ouch !
Matsubara-san !
- More energy please ! - I'm on it !
Matsubara ! Where are you ?
Erm.... Excuse-me ?
I'm looking for a Matsubara...
Excuse-me ! Have you got a guest named Matsubara ?
Have you seen this man ? The man with a head like a manju ? [Manju: steamed yeast bun with filling]
- We haven't - Thank you
Ah ! Wait !
He has glasses, shaggy hair and a head like a manju... Hey you !
Thank you
- Have you found him ? - No, I haven't
I can't find him
Is that so ? Thank you
That was the fourth one
Maybe he has gone to another hot spring ?
Aoyagi speaking
- So ? Has he arrived ? - No. What about you?
Nothing. He won't answer
- We haven't found any clues about the factory - Really... ?
I'm sorry... you are on company travel
It's okay. The bag's sales are in danger
Thank you
If something happens, I'll call you
Manager
[Strip ERO-N]
Yeah, he could be here [Lots of breast !]
Let's enter and look for him !
Wait ! Do you know what kind of place this is ?
Yes, of course. But we are adults !
People are coming out !
Ooyama-san !
Then... perhaps... you...
Of course not !
I was looking for Matsubara-san !
- Did you come in? - If I didn't, I couldn't look for him !
Incredible... She has spirit
Director !
Have you found something ?
No
It's my fault. I'm sorry
We still have time
Let's not give up and do our best
Yes
Yes, I'll do my best
Found him ?
We couldn't either
Where in hell could Matsubara be ?
Marie-chan... here... That's bad
Dynamite...
Where are you going ?
I can't stay here
I'll go with you
A morning market !
There's a lot of delicious looking vegetables
Have you got anything else other than food in your head ?
Look for him seriously
There's a possibility he's lost and looking for us
Welcome
Hey... What are you doing?
Aoyagi-san, the pickles are delicious !
Please give me this !
Yes ! Thank you !
I forgot to take my wallet...
What ?
Your change, 700 Yen
What is this bag, m'am ?
What ? My deceased dad gave it to me for my wedding
It's a nice bag, right ?
Thank you ! Bye bye !
This is the same...
Why do everybody have the same bag ?
It looks like someone is making them near here
It seems he bought it there
Sasaki bag workshop
Here !
[Sasaki Bag workshop]
It would be better if the workshop hasn't closed...
Don't say such an ill omened thing !
I hope there is a stock !
Hi ? Is this the Sasaki Bag workshop ?
Yes it is
Great !
Marukoshi Department Store ? Ah ! That bag !
Yes. Do you have any stock ?
Errh... I don't know...
The man in charge is hospitalized
We need one hundred of them today no matter what
Could you confirm it ?
Could you do it tomorrow ?
There's no one else
Without the owner, making a deal is impossible !
Tomorrow will be too late. Please !
I said it's impossible ! I'm busy alone !
He hang up
No way...
Good morning
Hi
You came early
I was curious...
So, what happened ?
Hot... What's wrong?
No ! Don't come here ! Stop !
Aoyagi, leave it to me
Who the hell are you ?
I'm the managing director of the Marukoshi Department Store, Okuzono
A managing director wearing a yukata ?
Oh, I'm on a trip with the sales staff
This is not the way to dress when you're asking for a favour
Please forgive our discourtesy
We are in an emergency
The trust that the Marukoshi Department Store had build since the Edo era is concerned
We have to gather the bags !
I know we're bothering you in a busy time but...
Please confirm your stock !
Please !
Well...
Please !
Understood. I've lost against your passion
Really ? Thank you
Thank you
Great !
- That's enough - Huh ?
I'm going to visit Ijuin-sama and apologize to him
I'll go with you
Everybody, go back to your jobs
Yes ? Tamura speaking
You found them ? All of them ?
Yes ! Great !
We're loading them on the bus and we're coming immediately
Yes ! Understood !
- Manager ! We just finished ! - Thank you
- Managing Director ! I have a favor to ask - What is it?
In fact, I have a bag I designed
Could you present it in the store ?
Easily
This is it. Isn't it original ?
Ooyama-san ?
Thank you for your help
I've been in this store since 5 years ago
I'm attached to it, I like Marukoshi
Furthermore...
When we are in trouble, we're all equal, right ?
Plus, you wanted to take a bath in the spring...
and you couldn't. That was so pathetic, I couldn't stand to watch it !
Director, we deliver the hundred bags
Everybody, you did your best working together
I'm deeply touched by this
Truely, thank you
Good work everyone
But this is not the end
We'll pack them and send them to Kobe !
Yes !
Let's go !
It would have been nice to enjoy ourself a bit more
Don't play around and help !
Put it here
Why are you ripping it ? We're in a hurry!
Too long ! Half of it is enough !
Ok !
I hope they would be happy
Yes, I hope the great daughter will like them
The cursed bag has become a congratulation bag
Nicely said !
- Hold a bit longer ! - Yes !
- Morita ! Gently ! - Yes !
That's the last one
Good work
Here ! The last one
Yes ! I have forgotten my mobile phone
Ah ah ah ! See you soon !
Huh ? You've returned early !
Moreover, you've returned to work immediately... As a sales staff, you are an example !
Huh ? What ?
By the way... Did I do something wrong?
MATSUBARA !!!!!
At last, I can take a bath in a spring...
If you give it something bad, a calamity will occur
I'm sorry Pinky !
Sorry ! Sorry !
Everybody ! We have received Ijuin-sama's thanks to us
Ganguro ? (Alternative fashion trend, involving deep tan and dried hair, popular around 2000)
To the Marukoshi Bag sales staff
Thanks to god. I was able to safely send off my great daughter
This is thanks to your humble help
I sincerely thank you
PS: The bags were a success
Good !
Everybody, thank you very much !
You have done your best
