I'm leaving, Yusaku!
G-Grandma?!
I'll be home by dinnertime.
Wh-What's with that getup?
How rude! I'm going to my class reunion.
Grandma's just being a woman.
It's her first city-adventure in a long time.
A woman...
You're going out, too, Manager?
How beautiful you look!
Why are you so dressed up? Got a date?
Nothing like that. I'm seeing my parents.
Manager, there's something on your skirt.
Huh?
Manager looks...
too beautiful today.
Yukari!
Kaoru! I've been waiting for you!
Well, see you!
Bye!
Grandma! Your wallet! Your wallet!
Don't need it.
I'll get dropped off afterwards, too.
Off we go!!
How loud she can be.
Grandma's so excited. It's her long-awaited class reunion.
Of course.
I hope you're not late.
I better get going.
I'll try to get back as early as I can.
Take your time.
You haven't had lunch alone with your parents in a while.
Say good-bye, Taro.
Thank you! Good-bye.
Today is the promised day.
Your mom's coming back!
I see. When I come back, you'll be gone.
I should have changed this lunch to another day.
C'mon! It's your father's birthday, right?
But it's so much more fun to play with these kids.
Hana, it's time for good-bye.
They look great on you.
Those earrings.
Do you think so?
It's too early in the day to start getting romantic.
Ms. Otonashi, I'm here to pick you up.
Mitaka? Why?
Sorry I'm so late. I got stuck in traffic.
Did I keep you waiting?
Mitaka!
Hey, Godai. Who's that kid?
Never mind. What are you doing here?
Huh? What?
I said.
I thought you said it's gonna be just you and your parents?
That's what I thought
Let's go, Ms. Otonashi
Um..
See you, Godai!
So...what does all this...mean?
I guess it means Manager's parents really got to like Mitaka.
Good going, Mitaka.
I see. So this means marriage is Just a matter of time.
So this means marriage is just a matter of time.
Her reaction...
Manager didn't know Mitaka was coming to get her.
I get it! Mitaka's planning to deceive her into marriage!
Over my dead body!
Sorry! Don't cry. Your mama will be here very soon.
Where the heck is Kasumi?
I can't leave.
Taro...?
Have you seen Taro?
Taro?
No.
So you didn't know that I'd be joining you?
No.
That's strange. I thought your mother told you.
Mom! You tricked me!
She must not know that my parents will be there, too.
Then you'll be even more surprised when we get there.
Wh-What do you mean?
You'll see when we get there.
T-Taro?!
When did you sneak into the vroom-vroom?
I'm sorry. This must be a surprise to you.
A little.
Stop scowling, because you're not getting out of this.
You better greet Mitaka's parents properly.
Kyoko's future depends on this.
Kyoko!
Mitaka, thank you for coming.
The pleasure's all mine.
Dear!
Mr. Chigusa, it's been a while.
Kyoko! That outfit looks great on you.
Auntie!
Auntie, there's a mirror over there that's THIS big!
Really?
Who's this child?
He tagged along.
He lives in your apartment building?
Well, yes.
Tagged along? What'll we do?
Little boy, will you be okay alone for a little while?
Mom!
We can use the babysitting service at the hotel.
No. He's coming with us.
This is not one of those casual occasions, is it?
What do you mean by that?
Sorry to keep you waiting!
We're so sorry we're late. Have you been waiting long?
They're my parents.
Now do you get it? It's a crucial day for you.
No.
Nice to meet you. I'm Kyoko's mother.
Nice to meet you, too.
This is Kyoko.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
She's beautiful
Shun, I'm in love at first sight!
I never imagined she'd be so lovely.
Shall we go to lunch?
Yes, let's. Kyoko..?
Dear!
Uh.
Yes...?
Will you excuse me? I'd like to make a phone call
Phone call?
Yes. They must be worried about him at home.
Maison Ikkoku.
Manager?
Taro's with you?
Great. No wonder we couldn't find him.
So don't worry.
And.
May I go over there to get him?
Yes. Please.
Hurry.
Come as soon as you can.
Mrs. Ichinose! Could you watch.
Huh? What?!
"Kasumi, I've gone out with the kids. Please wait here. Godai"
Manager, I'm coming! Wait for me!
May I go over there to get him?
Yes. Please.
Hurry
Something's not right. It must not be her father's birthday.
The more I look at her,
the more wonderful I think your daughter is.
I think she's great, too.
I can't say Kyoko has any great talent,
but her greatest asset is her kindness.
Don't forget to chew, okay?
Kyoko?
What?
Is someone really going to come and get him?
Yes. I'm sure he'll be here soon.
Who will that be?
I wonder.
It's all right. He's a quiet little boy.
We'd like to get to know you, Kyoko. Right, Dear?
Sure.
Of course.
I wonder what's taking Godai' so long?
I suppose Godai's coming to get the boy.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old are you?
Mom, I told you the other day.
I'm well past my prime, really. I'll be 26 soon.
He's already 30!
That's a perfect age difference!
I agree!
You look so much younger than your age.
Please.. After all, I'm a widow.
I'm not nearly as vivacious as other women my age!
I love your honesty.
We love you more and more.
Ms. Otonashi, why don't we take a walk in the garden after lunch?
Good idea!
But I...
Don't worry. We'll take good care of this boy.
You young people spend some time together.
Okay.
We're finally alone.
Yes.
I guess your father doesn't like me.
well
It's okay. I think I can understand
how a father must feel about his daughter.
But they say things change once grandchildren come along.
What's taking Godai so long?
This way, sir.
Lunch at a place like this? How pretentious.
Please.
Excuse me.
Great! We've been waiting for you.
Chief!
Thank you, Mr. Mitaka.
Let's play again sometime.
Bye-bye, Taro.
Mitaka's parents?
Thanks for taking him.
Where is Manager?
Thank you for coming.
Chief? Chief?
Their parents met with each other?
I had no idea things have come this far.
Chief, let's go out to the garden.
Auntie's there.
Really, Taro?
Let's go.
Yusaku! What are you doing here?
Grandma!? Is your class reunion here?
You came to pick me up?
N-No. I'm in a rush, actually.
Wait up! Since you're here, I want you to meet my friends.
Come this way.
G-G-Grandma!
Everybody! My grandson's here to liven up the party!
What a nice young man!
Have a drink!
How old are you?
Hey! Yusaku!
What's up with him?
My parents are quite frank, aren't they?
They sure are.
I think you'll be able to get along well with them.
Mitaka, I
Ms. Otonashi, let's go this way.
The two of us can't go off to see the ocean.
If we leave now, we'll be able to see the sunset.
Please wait here. I'll go tell our parents of our plan.
He's so pushy!
Don't cry. I'll change your diaper now. Good girl
Hi, Godai.
Mitaka.
Using a child to try to break up a marriage meeting?
You're as petty as usual.
You should talk!
You deceived the manager to..
"Deceived"? How vulgar that sounds!
Where is she?
I wonder.
Mitaka!
Anyway, I won't let her go home tonight.
How dare you!
Look, Hanako! Fish!
Taro! Don't move!
That was close. You're safe now.
Come this way.
Bye, Godai!
Hold it!
S-Sir?!
Manager!
Godai!
Manager!!
Please stop.
Why?
Because...
Godai will take care of those kids.
Please indulge me awhile.
Mitaka, I...
Or are you afraid of me?
No.
I'm so glad you trust me.
I'm hungry.
Wanna eat ramen when we get back?
Yeah! Yeah!
Do you like ramen?
I also like curry, hamburger, omelet, banana.
Chief, do you like bananas?
Yes, I do.
Soichiro!
Kasumi's not back yet?
The view is best from this hotel.
It really is beautiful
Well, why don't we toast?
You must be exhausted from all that's happened.
No.
But you've been rather.
I've always been audacious.
If I weren't aggressive with you,
you wouldn't come with me.
I'm sorry. I...
I'm so glad I'm having the chance
to show you this night view.
I'd like the '52 Chateau Rouge.
Yes, sir.
You don't mind having another glass?
No, but I don't want it to get too late.
Your earring.
It's falling off.
You won't be able to drive if you drink too much.
I'll be fine by morning.
I've booked us a room.
M-Mitaka?!
If not tonight, I'll book a room tomorrow night
And the next night, and the next.
Until you open up your heart to me,
I'll continue to book a room.
C'mon, Godai! Drink with us!
She'll be here soon whether you wait there or not!
We're going to eat up all the leftovers
Grandma brought back!
Are you listening?!
Yusaku! Just forget about Manager!
Shut up, dried squid!
What did you call me?!
Please, Grandma.
Just leave the sourpuss alone. It's more fun without him.
I agree!
I won't let her go home tonight.
He's bluffing!
Manager would never agree to..
Manager...
She never came home, did she?
This is scandalous!
Let's not kid ourselves.
We all know what happens between a man and a woman.
N-No way!

Kyoko, what happened?
