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!
M-Manager!
Godai?
Who are these kids?
well
Here.
Thank you.
What a healthy child.
Who's that baby?
Is she yours?
A love-child.
So you've both been hiding them?
The things people do when they're desperate.
Godai's a man, after all
Y-Yusaku!
Cut it out!!
Sorry. It's those people's fault
It's okay.
A hostess ran off?!
Yeah.
So it was decided that I take them overnight.
Poor things. They don't know anything.
What're you gonna do
if the mother doesn't come back?
I'll find her.
Where?
I don't know!
How haphazard.
In the worst-case scenario, this man will be your papa.
Papa! Papa!
What are you going to do with them tomorrow?
Why don't you keep them here until you find their mother?
Is that okay?
Do you want to stay here?
He's got the manager duped.
Quite a little scamp, this kid.
Stop seeing things in such a twisted way!
Geez! How could she abandon such adorable kids!
It's okay. Be a good girl
What's with the noise?!
Can't help it!
It's okay. You're a good girl
Godai?
Manager.
Is she colicky?
I'm sorry.
It's not easy, is it?
Let me hold her awhile.
I can't impose.
It's okay.
She's asleep already.
She was just crying so hard.
I guess she feels more comforted
in a woman's arms.
You!
Godai.
Kyoko.
It's leaking.
Her diaper's leaking.
I know you have a lot to do.
Thanks for your help.
Taro, be sure to listen to everybody.
Don't worry about the baby.
We've got experience.
Well, I'm off.
Chief, bye!
Well, well
Godai sure has a knack
of finding new things to worry about.
But it's very much like him.
I guess.
Right?
Hello!
Hi Godai. You're early.
Any word from Kasumi?
Nothing.
Hey, I heard Kasumi ran away.
I figured she would.
You "figured she would"?
She's infamous in the hostess circle.
Every time she starts at a new place,
she runs off with a customer.
So this isn't the first time she's dumped her kids?
That's unforgivable!
It may be futile, but.
You want to go to Kasumi's apartment?
It's here. You can go tomorrow.
Yes.
How unusual of you to come home, Shun.
Why so glum? You don't get here very often.
You picked a good day, since your father's office is closed
in observance of its anniversary of establishment.
That's why I'm here.
Father, Mother.
What's with the formality?
There's someone I'd like you to meet.
Someone you'd like us to meet?
What kind of person is this?
The one I'd like to.
marry.
Asuna Kujo, right?
We met her the other day.
It's another woman!
Uncle set me up against my will!
Too bad. She seems like a great young woman.
I'm serious!
I don't care what anyone says.
Before you object, I want you to meet her in person and-
When?
When shall we meet her?
I-Is that.
okay...with you?
Why not?!
I wonder what this woman is like?!
I can't wait to meet her!
This is great!
That's it?! I should have told them earlier.
Chigusa residence.
Mitaka?
Hello, Mrs. Chigusa.
I called because.
You want us to have dinner with your parents?
Sure. We'd love to.
Then I will call Kyoko.
Please! Let me call Kyoko.
You know, if we bring up the talk of marriage,
she'd get all tensed up.
Don't you worry. I'll get her there somehow.
Sure. Leave it to me.
Good-bye, then.
This is it!
Now that I've managed to come this far...
There's no turning back now, Kyoko.
Full speed ahead!
As fast as you can go.
Sleeping, so carefree.
Looks like a mother and her kids.
They have no idea what position they're in.
Neither does Yusaku.
Manager, I'm going to Kasumi"s apartment today.
If she's at her apartment,
then she wouldn't need to ask you to take her kids.
I know...
I heard Kasumi ran off.
I figured she would.
She's infamous in the hostess circle.
Evey time she starts at a new place,
she runs off with a customer.
When I find her,
I'm going to give her a piece of my mind.
Moonlight Villa Here it is.
Kasumi!
Kasumi?! Are you in there?!
She's not here.
What're you think you're doing, you creep!
Kasumi!
Chief?
What are you doing here?
C-Could you turn off the shower?
Sorry, Chief.
You scared me.
You're the one who scared me.
I thought you ran off with a man?!
Here. Have a drink, Chief.
Cheers!
Nothing like a cold beer after a bath!
Shall we get going, Kasumi?
Where?
To my apartment
Your children are waiting for you.
W-What are you doing?
Are you listening to me?
Take some change of clothes for them.
Clothes?
Why?
I have to go on a Journey now.
What are you thinking?
One week. Please give me one week, Chief.
No way. And you call yourself a mother?!
Then are you willing to marry me, Chief?
Why me?
You won't, would you?!
What's the matter, Hanako?
You got milk.
She's not wet
What'll we do? She won't stop crying.
She just started.
What's wrong?
Take it easy, Manager.
Snow man, snow man, ducky.
I'm looking for a man who'll be my kids' Daddy.
The man I found this time needs a little more push.
While I travel with him one week.
What your kids need now is their mother!
My kids understand.
No, they don't.
Wait a second.
It's my pager.
Hello? Mama?
Taro? What's the matter?
Hanako won't stop crying? Then do this.
She said to hold her up straight
and tap her back.
Hold her up straight? Like this?
I guess.
You're doing okay, aren't you?
I'll come and get you In one week.
We'll be okay.
Taro, may I?
Hello? Is this the mother?
You're the manager of Chief's apartment building?
Thank you so much for taking care of my kids.
I'll put him on.
Godai? What's happening?
I'm going to bring the mother over now-
Hey!
Godai? What's going on? Godai?
Hold it!
Kasumi!
Kasumi! Wait!
Chief! Please lock up!
Kasumi!
I'll be back in one week! Please take care of my kids!
Kasumi! Wait!!
Kasumi.
And?
She got away.
So what now?
This puts a damper on things.
We can't party like we usually do.
What are you so worried about?!
Let's party!
You're a spunky kid.
We have no choice.
Since Taro insists.
Let's party hearty!
Let's!
Thank you for looking after Hanako.
Go and relax.
Bye!
See you!
Godai's not going to the cabaret?
He has a night off.
Shucks.
Why?
Otonashi speak-.
Oh, hi Mom.
I'm calling about this Saturday.
Dad's birthday? Dinner at a hotel?
You better make your dad happy once in a while.
- All right? - Well, sure.
Three o'clock, then. Don't forget, Kyoko.
Dad's birthday's in September.
Mitaka?
She said she'll come?
She was very happy.
Yes. Saturday..at 3:00. Yes.
My parents and I are looking forward to seeing you.
Saturday. Three o'clock.
This is great, McEnroe!
Hey, not too rough. You're going to fall off.
Nothing gets this child down.
Taro, don't you feel lonely?
Not a bit.
Let's hope your mom comes back soon.
She made a promise on a star.
- Star? - Uh-huh.
Listen, Taro. I promise on that star
that I'll come back In one week.
Sounds like Kasumi.
So you believe..
in your Mama.
She wouldn't lie to a star.
Of course she'll be back.
It's a shooting star!
What are you doing?
Yusaku?
What was that?
A UFO?
What? Kyoko and Mitaka?
Their parents are meeting each other.
Then they're off to a hotel with a view of the harbor.
You just know something's going to happen.
N-No!
Kyoko!
