Thanks for having me.
It was our pleasure.
So you're leaving us tomorrow?
Why don't you stay a while longer?
I'd love to, but I have to prepare for Bon Festival.
Grandpa comes back once a year,
and he'd be lonely if I weren't there for him.
You're right.
Besides, now I understand this one's situation.
What do you mean?
He obviously needs to mature, but please look after him.
Grandma!
I'd really appreciate it.
Oh, please...
You! Show some respect.
Thank you.
I'm leaving.
- Oh Yusaku! - Huh?
Please buy me a ticket for the bullet train
and a gift for the family.
Sure.
Don't lose this.
What would be a good gift?
As long as it's from Tokyo, it doesn't matter.
Good morning.
'Morning.
You're going home to the country?
Yes. Tomorrow.
You're leaving? I thought you wanted to be buried here?
Don't even think about pocketing the change!
Thank you all for having me.
We're going to miss you.
We must send you off properly with a party.
For me? Thank you.
Geez.
Godai?
Yes?
Are you job-hunting all day again?
No. I only have one appointment today.
Great. Would you go shopping with me after that?
R-Really?
I want to give Grandma a gift for being so nice.
You don't need to do that.
I'd like to.
Okay. I should be done by noon, so I'll call you then.
Bye!
Good luck.
Godai? What do you think of this for Grandma?
I think it's nice but rather pricey...
I'm sorry it's taking a while for me to find something.
It's okay with me.
If you don't mind, I better look some more.
Take your time.
The least expensive ones are 300 000 yen.
Looking for an engagement ring?
W-Well-
Three months' salary is generally considered
a good guideline to spend on an engagement ring.
May I suggest one of these, perhaps?
No, I...
Thanks for waiting.
L-Let's go.
Godai?
Hurry!
Sir?!
Is something wrong?
N-No.
Three months' salary is generally considered
a good guideline to spend on an engagement ring.
Are you okay?
Y-Yes.
- Manager. - Yes?
I'm going to find a good job.
Huh?
Yes.
You want some plum wine, too?
Good?
For being the manager's dog, you're a greedy one.
I put my heart and soul into this plum wine.
I hope you appreciate it.
You're quite a lush, aren't you?!
Thank you for carrying everything.
Sure.
Manager?
Yes.
I had a great time today.
It was nice to go shopping, just you and I.
I guess we'd never done this before.
Looks like rain. Let's hurry.
Welcome back!
Welcome!
Soichiro! Down!
Hm? You smell like alcohol.
Alcohol?
How could you, Grandma?!
Stop it! Down!
Stupid dog! Down! Stop that!
Don't do that!
Bad dog!
Are you okay, Manager?
Let us begin our Farewell-to-Grandma party.
How nice of you to have a farewell party for me.
C'mon, Yusaku. Wipe that frown off your face.
What frown?
Forget it.
He's always like that.
Um, about what happened earlier...
I didn't do it on purpose.
I know. I'm sorry.
Godai?
Manager?
Why doesn't each of us say
a few parting words to the grandmother?
Y-Yes.
Let's see.
My grandparents passed away when I was a little girl,
so being with you,
I imagine what my own grandmother may have been like.
She's so serious.
You didn't expect a joke out of her, did you?
Grandma, this is a gift for you. I hope you can use it.
May I open it?
Sure.
Nice!
Tasteful!
I hope you like it.
Manager, you're a good person.
Thank you.
Akemi, a few words, please.
Uh... Please come back again soon.
Women are perennials! May you blossom again!
My turn, then.
Stewed hijiki, potato nikkorogashi, kinpira burdock,
eggplant shigiyaki, mixed sushi.
What the heck?
He invited himself over for dinner all the time.
Everything was delicious.
I look forward to your homemade dishes next time.
Thank you, everyone. Thank you.
I feel tipsy. I think I drank too much.
Aw...
Blackout!
Who's got candles?
I think the lightning hit close by.
M-Manager, don't be scared.
I'm right here.
When did he get here?
Hey, stop that!
Soichiro!
Get down, Soichiro.
You're still drunk aren't you?
Let go of her!
Come here, Soichiro.
Good boy. Have some more.
Hey! Don't give him anymore!
A dog can feel lonely, too. I know.
Let's drink together until the rain stops, huh?
What'll I do with you, Soichiro?
He sure loves you.
It's more than that.
He must be madly in love with the manager.
Something bothering you?
Not really.
Dogs are just like people.
He wants the attention of the one he loves.
Don't be shy to seek the same.
Leave me alone!
Come on, young man.
How about a drink to chase away your crankiness?
Another drink, Soichiro?
Grandma, I think he's had enough.
They say dogs become just like their owners,
but you're nothing like her.
Was your husband a bad drunk?
Huh?
Oh, yeah. Soichiro was actually your husband's dog.
Please! My husband never drank.
He was a cool and collected man.
He was never this annoying!
He must have been a good husband.
Yes.
With his head on your lap like that,
you're like a married couple!
Soichiro, let's go downstairs.
Come on, Honey.
No! I don't want you two alone!
Get away from her!
Godai?
Is he like that every time he's drunk?
Yeah. Pretty much.
Go! Go at it! Go!
Let's see...
Let's go, Yusaku. It's almost one.
I got a hangover.
So what? Since you're not job-hunting today,
you can carry my stuff to the station.
If I were well enough to carry your luggage,
I'd be out job-hunting!
You're so pathetic!
Take care of yourself.
I'll come back to see you again.
Yusaku? What're you doing? Hurry up!
It's not like you had that much to drink.
Look at Soichiro. He's fine.
- Grandma? - Huh?
Let me walk you to the station, too.
You will? Thank you.
Are you all right?
I can carry her things.
I'm all right.
But...
Really.
You're two years apart.
Hey!
Grandma! Wait! We're all coming!
CLOCK HILL STATION Yay!
CLOCK HILL STATION
Take care, Grandma.
Come back with more plum wine.
Grandma, please come and visit us again.
Yes. Thank you.
Thanks so much for coming all the way here.
Godai?
Thanks for coming with me.
Well, with Godai like that...
He's so pathetic.
Let's pretend we don't know him.
Are you okay, Godai?
T-Thanks for asking.
Thank you for looking after my grandson.
We're used to him.
- Yusaku? - Huh?
Don't forget to eat right.
And call as soon as you find a job.
All right?
Take care, Grandma.
Niigata-bound Toki will be departing from platform 19.
Please stand behind the white line.
There has been an accident involving the overhead line
in the Takasaki vicinity.
This train will be delayed. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks for waiting with me.
We have nothing else to do anyway.
They said they can't estimate how long it'll be.
I just wanna go home and sleep.
Hey! I bought us some beer!
No sense just waiting with nothing to do.
You're right!
Cheers!
Let's party!
It's not often you get a hangover this bad.
Godai, drink with us.
No thanks.
Please! You're disturbing the others!
So what? We're bored.
Wanna join us?
I don't know them. I don't know them.
Godai, where are you going?
The smell of beer's making me sick.
Shall we move far away?
Where are you going, Manager?
Look, Grandma. That's Godai's trick.
He pretends to be sick so he can wrap himself around women.
So sneaky!
How dare he!
Got 'im!
Thank you for your patience.
Niigata-bound Toki is now departing From platform 19.
Manager, why don't you leave him alone and drink with us?
Don't even talk about drinking.
I didn't know Godai was such a lightweight.
You can get rid of a hangover by drinking some more.
Grow some balls, will you?
Huh?
I'm sorry you had to see me like this.
Don't be sorry. Besides, if those people-
Godai?!
Her luggage and gifts!
Let's party on until the next Bullet Train!
Yeah!
How did you let this happen?
When we went to pick her up,
we found her luggage and gifts but no Grandma.
We were worried sick.
So Grandma got there okay?
I'll put her on.
Yusaku?
I forgot to tell you,
but the manager's too good for you!
Huh?
But don't you give up on her.
Grandpa had to try very hard to get me.
Sometimes, persistence is key.
Grandma...
I asked your neighbors to look after you
and gave them some money for booze.
Huh?
Yusaku? Are you listening?
I get it. I get it now.
Let's party!
Where's Godai?
It's just not as fun without him.
But we can't stop now.
She gave us money to drink, after all.
How are you feeling?
They're unstoppable.
If you like, please feel free to rest In my apartment.
Do you mean that?
Sure. You have more job interviews tomorrow, don't you?
You need to go to bed early.
Bed?
I-I thought maybe you'd like some tea.
Manager, I-
I...
Godai?
What? Yagami's father?
He's the Director of Recruiting.
What a golden opportunity!
It's an elite firm, isn't it?
A connection is what really matters!
Next time: "A Midsummer Night's Dream! Godai Finds a Job!"
Looks like you've found that connection!
