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?
Why did Godai get 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.
I'm off!
Wait, Godai.
No matter what you do, please do your best.
I will!
And um... Anyway.
Here.
Hello, everyone!
Hello, sir!
I'd like to announce a new post.
Mr. Godai of the Publicity Department,
please step forward.
Yes, sir!
In addition to your current post in publicity,
I name you the Chief of Welfare!
Yes! Thank you very much!
Let us work hard again today!
One!
Never stop smiling!
One!
Never stop smiling!
One!
A customer's smile is a heap of treasure!
One!
Come in! Come in, sir!
Experience paradise at our low price!
Sing and drink at this rock-bottom price!
Come in! Come in! Come in!
You! You, Hot Stuff! Come on in!
Sir! Experience paradise now!
You're pretty good at this.
You look well, Yusaku.
Grandma..?
What're you doing here?!
She got here this afternoon.
She has a class reunion a week after next
Class reunion?
And I was worried about you.
They told me the story.
So you're going to become a preschool teacher?
That's the plan for now.
If that's what you've decided,
I have no objections.
Grandma.
Come everyone! Let's party hard tonight!
Huh?!
It's Grandma's Welcome Party.
It's so good of you to come all the way here.
G-Grandma!
Don't you worry about money.
I've wanted to visit a cabaret once before I die.
I never knew it was such a fun place!
This could become a habit!
Don't hold back. Drink as much as you want.
You're so generous!
We love you, Grandma.
She's your grandma?
I'm impressed.
ordinary grannies wouldn't feel so at home.
I admire that.
She's just an old lady acting on a whim.
If whimsy can get her this far, that's great.
Take care of her.
Chief, let's play.
Chief!
Okay. Okay.
What shall we do?
Let's play horsey!
Sure!
Ms. Otonashi!
I'm here to pick you up!
Mitaka?
Hello.
Godai's Grandma! You're looking well
Thank you.
You're here to pick me up?
Remember? We have tennis school.
Hi.
Ms. Otonashi's parents have taken a liking to me
ever since the day we met at Soichiro's grave.
How nice for you.
Why don't you go get ready?
...since he's here already.
Perhaps you're being too optimistic.
It doesn't matter how much her parents like you.
It's how the manager feels about you.
Do you have enough money saved up to elope?
Why would I have to elope?
Her parents would never approve of an aimless guy like you.
If that's the way her parents feel, then.
See? You have to resort to eloping.
She marries you despite everyone's opposition.
You two end up in a northern town.
A life of poverty and unimaginable hardship.
Oh, poor Ms. Otonashi
Must you paint such a bleak picture?!
What are you talking about?
Nothing! Please go ahead to my car.
I'll capture her heart before you get a real job.
See you!
Mitaka! Hurry! Hurry!
Grandma, too..?
It bothers me...
What is Mitaka scheming?
What is it?
I'll do it for 1,OOO yen.
I have a lot of free time lately.
No way.
500 yen, then.
Here.
So what about Sunday, week after next?
For what?
We have to meet Mitaka's parents,
our daughter's future in-laws.
I don't remember approving their marriage!
Don't bother me at work with nonsense like this!
You don't get it, do you?!
Listen.
Mitaka has been turning down other talks of marriage because of Kyoko.
That's his problem!
I don't care what you say!
I'm going to make sure they tie the knot!
Damn it!
Yes. I'm calling about that estimate..
Darn eavesdroppers!
Yes. I shall see you tomorrow, then. Thank you!
Grandma, you're very good.
I've never lost at Japanese battledore
since I was a little girl
Go!
You've made me wait a long time, Ms. Otonashi.
But the obstacles are beginning to clear away.
I won't let you go.
Never.
Coach!
Yes...?
We have a new student.
Oh, I see.
This is Coach Mitaka.
I'm inexperienced, but I'm pleased to join your class.
You look pretty shocked.
What are you doing here, Asuna?
What's she doing here?
I clearly broke off the relationship.
Asuna, please..
Yes?
Please come this way.
That's the woman with those dogs...
Last time I saw you.
I can't marry you.
G-Get a hold of yourself, Asuna!
I thought you understood.
Yes, but.
you told me you didn't dislike me.
If you had told me then that you didn't like me,
I would have killed myself.
I remember now! I thought I'd seen her somewhere!
Her marriage interview photo!
That's the girl Coach got set up with!
That's her?
Who knew he had someone like that?
This is getting very interesting.
I wonder where this will lead?
So that's who Coach Mitaka got set up with?
Mitaka told us he turned her down.
She's got the nerve to show up at the tennis court.
She must really be in love with Coach.
Um... Asuna.
Yes?
Are your parents aware
that you've enrolled yourself in tennis school?
Yes. They are very supportive of my decision.
They said it's a great idea
for me to get to know my future husband's profession.
Excuse me. I need to make a phone call
Coach is making an escape.
Um..
Is she going to declare war?
I bet.
I suppose she would become angry
if I asked her to break up with Mitaka.
I better say something.
Something...
How are your dogs?
Yes. They're in good health.
How about your Soichiro?
You remember his name?
I never forget a dog's name.
They're chatting it up.
What is going on, Uncle?!
You know what I'm talking about!
I'm talking about Asuna!
Oh! What?
I have no interest in marrying her.
No interest? Are you high?
I made it very clear to Asuna.
You never heard?
What? What're you getting all excited about?
I'm going to the Kujo residence this evening.
I'm going to set the story straight with her parents!
Disposable diapers, check.
Wet wipes, check.
We have enough formula. I'm all set for today.
The certification exam's in September.
It won't be easy.
It'll take another year.
Chief!
Great! I'm so glad you're here!
Kasumi, you're early.
Go, Taro.
Hi Taro!
Hi!
Taro really loves you,
and he insisted on coming here early.
Right?
Yup
Wouldn't it be great if Chief became your Papa?
Yup!
You're such a joker.
You have a husband, don't you, Kasumi?
I'm looking for a new one now.
Chief, don't you love kids?
I l-love k-kids, but.
Chief! The truth is, I
Y-Your child is watching.
Please look after my Taro and Hanako.
Sure.
Corporate Rule #3! Say it.
Interoffice romance is strictly prohibited!
So you know.
You got it all wrong. I never.
You can get fired, you know.
Why me..?
Hello!
Hi, Shun!
We've been expecting you.
Uncle? Why are you here?
My determination is firm.
What are you talking about?
That voice..?
Can't be.
You're late, Shun.
She's a nice young lady.
Dad? Mom?
So you're finally going to settle down?
That's a big weight off our shoulders.
You set me up.
I know you.
You can't possibly break up this peace.
You wouldn't dare.
I am not at all interested in marrying her.
Asuna! Please don't!
Please let me die!
If I can't marry you, I'd rather--!
Asuna! You love Mitaka that much?!
I'm so touched!
You have broken my heart forever.
He hasn't changed at all
Health is everything.
I can't tell them now.
He's still involved with the woman from the marriage interview?
Seems so.
So Mitaka's been lying?
Who knows.
He seemed very troubled.
This is leading up to a turning point
You mean.
Mitaka's been driven into a corner.
Manager won't be leisurely cleaning like she does now.
I'm off!
Bye!
Um..
Yes?
I've decided to take
the preschool teacher certification exam next year.
Really?
So, um..
Manager.
Well... uh...
Huh?
N-Nothing. Bye!
Good luck!
Preschool teacher...
Not a care in the world.
Has she any idea the position she's in?
Chief!
Come this way.
What is it, Kasumi?
What's the matter?
You're the only one I can rely on, Chief.
P-Please! You're going to get me in trouble!
Chief!
Company rule #3!
It's not like that!
Chief!
Chief, please read this after closing.
Dear Chief,
Please look after Taro and Hanako.
From Kasumi
Kasumi ran off with a customer?
W-What'll we do?
Papa!
They're crying, Godai!
Hurry up and go find the mother.
We can't party like this.
I've looked!
Next: "Perfect Papa! The "Mister Mom" Godai Story"
She ran off?!
