We're going to hand out flyers outside the station this afternoon.
Yes.
Homemade lunch?
You don't have to hide it
It's a wiener that looks like a crab!
Why you little...!
Wh-What?
You got a toots making this for you?
It's not like that.
Oh, c'mon! Don't deny it!
This lunch says "I love you" all over it.
If that ain't lunch made with love, what is?!
And you act like it's no big deal.
Want some tea?
It makes me happy, but it hurts...
Really?
Yagami saw him.
Mr. Godai really works at a cabaret?!
He's not at the preschool anymore?
I guess not.
I can't believe it!
Maybe it suits him.
He's the type to bring out the maternal instinct in women.
I bet the hostesses are taking special care of him.
What are you going to do?
About what?
Someone might seduce Mr. Godai.
He's the type to go with the flow.
He's not like that
Sir! Sir! Our girls are hot!
I'm sure there's a good reason for this.
If we don't finish cleaning soon,
we'll never get out of here.
Right. Let's get this done.
Hello.
Yes?
Oh, hi Yagami.
Is Mr. Godai here?
He's not back yet.
So he already headed for work?
Work?
Don't pretend you don't know. I saw him.
How could you let him take a job like that, Manager?
Godai seems to enjoy going to work every day.
I doubt it.
I'm sure he took that job because he had no choice.
It doesn't seem like that to me.
Just a minute.
Hi.
Long time no see. Godai's not home yet.
I know.
He's probably at work at the cabaret, right?
I saw him.
Let me hear what you got to say. Come.
Tomorrow?
Yes. It's been a while since the two of us had dinner.
Unless you have other plans?
No, but.
Then I'll come by to pick you up tomorrow evening.
He's so pushy.
Oh? Did she leave?
Come in!
You Sir! How about an evening in dreamland with a hot girl
for just 3,OOO yen?!
Take advantage of our limited-time offer!
A hot girl?!
Dreamland!?
We'd love to take advantage!
You're so mean, Godai.
You have to tell us if you've decided to make a comeback.
Yeah.
And we heard you've been fired at preschool!
So you've been letting the manager make you lunch every day,
and you've been working at a cabaret?
She knows?!
Only we do.
We'll continue to be friends, won't we?
Let's celebrate Godai's comeback!
Why?!
So, Godai was working at a preschool?
No wonder he's so great with our kids.
He's been such a help. He's so great, my kids adore him.
I wish he'd work here forever.
Me, too.
Here's to Godai's return!
Cheers!
What shall we do next?
Godai, what are you going to do?
Those bozos are putting everything on your tab
and having a ball
I don't know what they've got on you,
but I told you to get rid of the likes of them.
If only I could.
What's wrong, Uncle?
Godai!?
C'mon! Let's go.
It makes me so happy that we can all go home together again!
I'm not happy at all!
I wonder where those three are?
And Godai's been coming home late, too.
We're home.
Welcome home.
Were you all out together?
We've been with Godai.
From the station, where we ran into each other.
I hope we run into you again tomorrow.
Godai, the lunch container...?
Yes.
Thanks again.
I wonder where he's been eating those?
It seems everyone's drunk tonight
Let's drink some more.
Let's!
Good night.
Godai, do you have your umbrella?
Yes.
Here's your lunch.
Thank you.
Manager, you don't have to make me lunch from tomorrow.
Why?
Because. Um...
Lunch money can add up.
Don't even worry about it.
The truth is.
I love making lunches.
By the way, you've been coming home rather late every night
I'm more curious about what he does during the day.
Mrs. Ichinose!
I'm leaving.
What were you talking about?
What?
Another fancy lunch!
You better take good care of her.
Nowadays, it's not easy to find a girl
who'd go through that kinda trouble.
Thank you, Manager.
The sky doesn't look good.
Is Godai here?
Godai's out, putting up posters.
Are you the girl who makes his lunch?
Lunch?
I'm back.
Hey, Lover Boy. She's here.
You know, "her"
"Her"?
C'mon, you know! Your lunch-maker!
Can't be!
C'mon. Go in.
How do I look?
Are you insane, Yagami?!
I've decided to work here from today.
You're working here because you owe them money, right?
Mrs. Ichinose told me.
She also told me
that the manager's been making you lunch every day.
I want to do something to help you, too.
Never mind! Take that thing off!
I'll introduce you to everyone. Come.
I'm sure you'll be the most popular girl
and rake in money.
Wait! You can't let a high-school student work as a hostess!
High school?!
Young lady, please change back into your clothes
and go home right now.
I can't let a high-school student work here.
We do have moral standards.
B-But
All right.
Be brave and go over the bridge.
If I go over the rainbow bridge,
I'll see Mommy again, Ponkichi told himself.
The giant rainbow bridge across the crisp blue sky--
Godai, that high-school girl is your lunch-maker, isn't she?
well
You're doing much better than I would have guessed.
Please don't interrupt.
I'll help you get customers after I put these kids to bed.
I'm not worried about that.
I came to tell you that those sponges are here again.
Want me to chew 'em out?
No thanks. I'll do it myself.
You sure?
Who cares!
Let's sit down, sir.
I can't believe you're here every night.
I want to be here every night forever.
Sure. Me, too.
Let's not hold back!
You!
Hi, Godai!
Hey there!
We're helping ourselves, thanks.
Listen! This is your final night on my tab.
Tonight, I'm going to tell Manager everything.
You're serious, aren't you?
Yes.
Last night fever!
Here's to the last night!
Let's party!
You really better get rid of them soon.
Yes.
I'm sorry. Perhaps I was rather pushy.
Yes-- I mean, no.
But if I don't see you like this once in a while,
I'm afraid you'll forget me.
This isn't a very nice neighborhood.
No.
Godai...!
How can I admit all this after I've put up such a front?
Manager's going to be shocked.
Godai!?
We're going home now.
Don't forget your promise.
I know!
Here's to Godai's bravery.
Banzai!
Banzai! Good luck, you!
It's disappointing that tonight was our last.
Yeah.
I can't believe Godai's working at a cabaret.
Did you know?
No.
He looked pretty good in that happi coat
Why, Godai...?
Thank you for dinner.
I'll call you again. Good night.
Were you on a date?
No.
I thought you were in love with Mr. Godai.
I don't think Godai will be home anytime soon.
I know he works at a cabaret
and that he left his job at the preschool.
You didn't know anything, and you're the manager?
What do you mean he left his job at the preschool?
I feel so sorry for Mr. Godai.
And I can't do anything to help him.
Yagami.
Why don't you get a clue?!
I'm so worried about him, I can't leave him alone!
Yagami...?
Why didn't anyone tell me?
Why was I the only clueless one?
Why? Why?
No, I can't just leave. Be brave!
I thought you were going to tell her?
Chicken.
Looks like we'll be able to keep drinking on your tab!
I'll do it! I'm about to tell Manager--
Did you want to talk to me?
What is it?
I...
The truth is, I...
You're such a wimp.
Shall I tell her for you?
I know already.
You don't need lunch anymore,
and you're no longer working at the preschool, right?
How did you..?
Well, good night!
Manager!
Manager.
How did she find out?
I told her nothing.
Wasn't me.
Bye.
What? No homemade lunch today?
Probably never again.
Your girl left you?
I know the pain.
I'm upset that you all deceived me.
We couldn't help it. He had a gag order.
I can see why he wanted to keep his cabaret job a secret,
but did he have to lie about leaving his preschool job?
I don't know why he had to hide all this from me.
Maybe he couldn't tell you the truth
because you started making him lunches.
So it's my fault?!
That's not what I mean.
Did he ever act like he wanted to tell you something?
Here. Your lunch.
Um... But...
Please eat it at the preschool.
Hello?
You're from the preschool...?
Yes. Is Godai here?
He's out right now.
Okay. Would you please give this to him?
What's this?
It's the preschool teacher certification exam study guide.
Godai told me he wanted to take a look at it.
He did?
How come Godai got fired from preschool?
Did he cause some kinda trouble?
It's just that we found a new replacement teacher.
That's it?
Yes.
That's nothing to be ashamed about.
All he had to do was to give me a simple explanation.
He must have gone through a lot, knowing him.
I'm home.
Hello.
I...
Here's a preschool teacher certification exam study guide.
One of the teachers at the preschool brought it over today.
Th-Thank you. Good night.
Godai?
I wish you could have told me.
I think you tend to carry more weight on your shoulders
than most people. But it's just fate..
and I know things will start going your way.
Please don't keep secrets from me anymore.
Manager!
Bye!
Wait, Godai.
No matter what you do, please do your best.
I will!
And um... Anyway.
Here.
Manager, thank you! Thank you!
What's that all about?
His girl must be back.
Thank you, Manager.
Huh?! Asuna?
Yeah. She suddenly showed up.
She and the manager were staring each other down.
And then what happened?
You'll find out next week.
Next: "Obsessive Love! Asuna Just Won't Give Up!"
The young lady's got nerves!
