September 7th, 2013
Tokyo!
This man's voice had a great power to it.
And triggered by what that man had said...
...Tokyo's real estate market suddenly flourished.
Elegance Soliel
Sold Out
...and now a fierce competition in the sale of homes has opened up.
Sold Out
And so eventually someone will come to find this woman.
Teiko Real Estate Co, Ltd.
Yes, we've returned.
We're back.
Thanks for your hard work.
You've worked hard.
Yes, I'm back.
Welcome back.
Thanks for your hard work.
Ah... added another one, huh?
I wore a Hermes tie today because the client I visited likes Hermes things.
Since we sell houses for tens of millions of yen...
...we need to put that much production into it, don't we?
Yes.
If only the others enjoyed doing this the way you do...
Ah, ow, ow, ow, ow...
These new socks are making my shoes give me blisters...
If you'd like, use this.
Considerate as always, Prince. Thanks.
I've returned.
Welcome back.
Section Chief! Ishikawa-sama said he likes the property in Nakano.
Oh, you made the sale?
Not yet.
A professional doesn't make such proud announcements...
...off just "he likes it," Niwano.
But he likes it very much.
Since loan screening for self-employed people like him takes time, be careful.
Ah...
Showing off and then having the sale fall through in the end can be harsh.
Ah...
I'm sure you'll sell it.
I'll do my best.
Ah, Section Chief.
I closed the sale on the 50 million yen, Kitashinshuku property.
Adachi!
You should've told me that sooner!
I'm sorry.
Just what you'd expect of our Ace!
For this month, Adachi-san has sold two properties for a total of 156 million yen!
Yo! Adachi!
Must be nice, huh? A cute face makes sales.
Lay off that, you!
It's said a homely face in your previous life will get you a beautiful face in this life.
You flip between homely and beautiful in each life.
Yuck! Then I'll be ugly in my next life?
Ah... that's true.
This Month's Priority Properties
Sales Report Table
First off, there's this old apartment in Mejiro's Sakanoe.
Could you manage this one somehow, Adachi?
Eh? Me?
That one would be difficult, even for me.
It's on a steep slope and far from the station...
...and though it's a 1 LDK, the living room is so big it's nearly impossible to sell.
(1 Living room, 1 Dining room, 1 Kitchen)
Still, this must be sold, no matter what!
It's the property of the President's favorite client.
All of you, take this flier with you as you walk around.
Can't the new Chief who's coming tomorrow sell it?
Ah, that's true, isn't it?
They're a wheeler-dealer type, aren't they?
Geez... What's with you, Fuse-san?
What do you mean, "What's with me"?
Let's all join our forces and get this apartment sold!
Chief, this new Chief that's coming tomorrow...
...is it true they doubled the sales at our Meguro office?
Why would the Meguro office send us such a capable person?
Various things happened and they made a mess of the business office.
What's that about?
Don't worry about the new Chief coming tomorrow until tomorrow!
Okay?! Focus on this apartment in Mejiro's Sakanoe!
All of you seriously consider how to sell this property!
Since the sales results of this Section are the sales results for all of us. Okay?!
Ah!
This color might be good on me.
The Rose line, huh...
Ah, hold on a minute!
Thank you.
Seems the new Chief coming tomorrow is an amazing beauty, huh?
The rumor is she's the President's mistress, though.
Eh?!
Still, we're looking forward to this amazing beauty, aren't we?
Yes! I'm looking forward to her.
An amazing beauty...
3rd Floor.
Oh...
Oh... Good morning!
You're Sangen'ya-kun, right?
Yes. I'm Sangen'ya Machi.
Section Chief Yashiro, let's work together.
We've been waiting for you.
Good morning!
Niwano, this is Chief Sangen'ya.
Let's work together!
Well then Sangen'ya-kun, I'll introduce you to your fellow Section members.
No thank you.
I already know about them.
What do you know?
Section Chief Yashiro Dai, divorced, distrusted by single women!
Section Chief's sales for last month, 714 million yen.
Makoto Fuse-san's sales last month, 216 million yen.
Adachi Satoshi.
No honorifics for him?
Last month's sales were 624 million yen.
Hachinohe Daisuke-san. Last month's sales, 180 million yen.
Takuma Gota-san. Last month's sales,120 million yen.
Niwano Seiji. Last month's sales, zero yen.
And then... Shirasu Mika.
Last month's sales, zero yen.
Month before last sales, zero yen. Month before before last month's sales, zero.
Sales since joining the company are ALL zero!
Yet you still come to work, don't you?
Now, now, now...
And then last, but not least, me, Sangen'ya Machi.
My last month's sales were...
...1,580 million yen.
I will be serving under Section Chief Yashiro as the Brokerage Business Department Chief.
Let's work together.
Well then, that should do it for our morning meeting!
And so let's see if this Section can't sell that apartment in Mejiro's Sakanoe!
All of you, do your best!
I will be the one... who sells that property.
There is no house that I can't sell!
Heiwa Fansubs Presents
Ie Uru Onna (House-selling Woman)
Section Chief!
Huh?
I'll be going to give the Hijikata-samas and the Koganei-samas their house tours.
The "Hijikata-samas" are a married couple who are doctors with a University Hospital?
That's right.
Just how many house tours have you taken them on?
8 of them.
Just what are you doing?
Well...
They have budgeted 100 million yen for one...
...but the grandmother who was watching over their child died...
...so now they're looking for a newly-built, single-family house near the hospital.
Is that your excuse for not selling?
No, that's not the reason why.
Their conditions are that it be a single-family, 3 LDK close to the hospital...
...and with living room stairs and an island kitchen.
We just don't have any properties like that.
What's wrong is you waiting around while they take forever to make a decision.
Well, but...
If you can't get a decision by this week, I'll switch who's in charge of the account.
If that irritates you, get them to decide by the end of the week.
I'll do my best.
Let's go.
Yes.
Have a good day.
We're off.
Why not just let someone switch accounts with you next week?
Since if you can't sell, you can't sell.
Yes.
Shirasu Mika.
Eh?
Where's your answer?!
Yes.
What are you doing right now?
Ah...
I was looking over the customer list...
How many...
...appointments with customers have you made for today?
You haven't made any?
I haven't.
What about for tomorrow?
I haven't made any...
How about for the day after tomorrow?
I haven't made any.
Bring out your key.
Eh?
The key to your house.
BRING IT OUT NOW!
Yes!
I will be taking custody of this.
Eh?
Until you get an appointment made with a customer, you can't go home.
Eh?
Shirasu Mika... come with me.
Hurry up!
Ah... yes...
Take this.
You there... help me out.
I'm Murota Madoka, desk worker.
Murota Madoka.
Take this!
Yes.
Could it be she's...
Stand at the Shinjuku Station wearing this, and do property business with passers-by.
But I was asked by the Section Chief to make contracts...
That...
...will be taken over by Murota Madoka.
Eh?
Hurry up and go.
Shirasu Mika...
GO!
Ye... yes!
And you guys, GO!
Ye... yes!
Nakano-ku, Tokyo Higashi-Nakano...
Wha... what is it?
I will accompany you.
Eh?!
Please hurry and go.
The car nav system right now is...
I will tell you which roads to take.
Eh...
GO!
Yes!
Eh? Eh? Eh?
Turn right at the next signal.
Yes.
Next turn left.
Yes.
Can we even get in this alley?
Left.
Yes.
Turn right at the end of the road.
Yes.
I can't turn here.
You can turn.
Ehh...
Don't call yourself a real estate agent if you can't even make this kind of turn.
The house is 100 meters ahead around the second corner.
Yes.
Ah, she's come.
We might have missed her if we had come down the main streets, right?
It's not that close by, now is it?
It's a 15 minute drive to the hospital from here, isn't it?
Introduce us.
Hijikata sensei, this is my Chief, Sangen'ya.
Very nice to meet you.
Sangen'ya Michi
Sangen'ya-san?
Is that a stage name for a professional real estate agent?
("Sangen'ya" literally means "three houses")
It is my real name.
This is Hijikata Yayoi-sensei of Teito University Hospital.
I know.
Yayoi-sensei is with the OB/GYN Department...
...while her husband is an Associate Professor in Neurosurgery.
More importantly, this is too far away from the hospital.
I'm very sorry.
Come in.
What you are looking for is a 3 LDK, newly-built, single family home not far from the hospital.
While this is a bit far from the hospital, I feel sure you will like it.
Come in, come in.
Here is the island kitchen you were hoping for.
There's an IH cooker here so you can hold home parties.
You can communicate with your son from here while making dishes.
There's also a dishwasher here with ultra-high strength cleaning power.
Because the entire building utilizes an air-conditioning ventilation system...
...you'll be able to stay comfortable all year round.
With a central air-conditioning system, you can't fine-adjust the temperature, can you?
With this technology, you can set the temperature of your choice for each room.
Ehh...
Since it has a smart control, you can operate it using your smartphone as well.
You can operate it while away from home.
Since pollen, mold, mites and house dust are also effectively discharged by it...
...you can spend your time here cleanly and healthily.
There are no properties more perfect than this one.
It really is splendidly made.
This is a luxurious property that I could only recommend to someone like you, Hijikata-sensei.
But there are no living room stairs.
And it's not close to the hospital.
We don't have any properties closer to the hospital.
Ah well, we do have just this one...
Still, this must be sold, no matter what!
It's the property of the President's favorite client.
This is just a 1 LDK.
It won't do.
Sensei.
No further properties have appeared.
Couldn't you decide on one, somehow?
If you don't decide, someone else will be put in charge of your account.
That's your problem, isn't it?
No. If I'm switched out, I feel you will be inconvenienced by it as well, Sensei.
If it had living room stairs...
...our son would be sure to go to his room on the second floor after passing through the living room.
Even without exchanging words, there would be communication between parents and child.
That's non-negotiable.
Excuse me a moment.
Yes?
Eh?
That's not what you promised.
You can't ask me for that. I'm on duty today.
What's with that way of speaking!?
Grandma's not around anymore.
I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but she spoiled him when she was raising him.
You do something somehow!
Don't tell me you're okay with leaving Sokyu alone in our house tonight?
Since this house won't do, could you take me back to the hospital?
Yes.
Why a living room?
Eh?
With a living room that no one will be in every day...
...for the child who has to go up and down those living room stairs...
...those stairs will just be a set of lonely stairs.
So I should compromise and take that house?
No.
Then, what is this? Sarcasm?
No.
I'm saying that neither that house nor a living room staircase...
...would be suitable for you or your family.
It was your company that showed me that house.
Sangen'ya-san, apologize.
Keep your eyes on the road!
Yes.
For pete's sake, what's with that woman?
I don't know if she's Sangen-ya or Sangendjaya though.
(three tea houses)
(three houses)
Just 'cause she a little prettier than me, she acts so bossy.
And what's with that "GO!"?
It's so hot.
My makeup must be running.
No one would stop for me in such crappy hot weather.
What is she doing there?
I ain't no spectacle!
So hot!
Oba-chan, why are those boards stuck to you?
It's hot, so I'll pass.
Thank you.
That doctor has it tough what with her job and raising a child, doesn't she?
I'm stupid, but I think I understand somehow.
The desperate feelings that doctor has.
The you right now can't sell houses.
Real estate agents don't look at maps.
They utilize back roads no one knows about rather than the main streets.
Customers think those who know a lot about the back roads of a city must know a lot about properties.
And so they trust that real estate agent.
I think they trust what that person says.
Incredible! We arrived 20 minutes early!
I've taken the Koganei-samas out on house inspection tours five times already.
Unless they're absolutely certain they like it, they just won't decide on one.
Ah, Koganei-san!
They'll fall for it.
Like I thought, this is nice, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
But it's not south-facing.
The house we're living in now faces south, so it gets fiercely hot in summer.
So I think facing south just this much is fine.
Right?
There are no walk-in closets.
Such a fashionable thing...
But we have some drawer chests.
Yeah, yeah.
Then Koganei-sama, let's make a decision today!
Hmm...
We should think on it a little longer!
We should.
There were several stray cats out front, so won't they be noisy when in heat?
That can be a strong sound, can't it?
Excuse me.
I'm showing the house right now...
Eh? They'll make a prompt decision?
They just had a tour of here yesterday and today... That would be a problem.
This would be the sixth tour they've had here, but of course if they're interested...
Then it can't be helped since they'll make a prompt decision.
Please go ahead and let them decide.
Koganei-sama, truth is this property is...
None of your tricks.
That call just now was a lie, wasn't it?
Think you could fool us with such a thing?
You're naive!
Naive!
It wasn't a lie.
Well then.
In that case call that client who'll make a prompt decision and bring them here.
That's right!
Koganei-sama...
They are here.
Eh?
Are you sure you want me to call them in?
I will call them in.
Thank you for going to all this trouble...
Come in!
Thanks.
Like I thought, this is the best place, Dear!
You're right!
Let's decide on this place!
Yeah!
Well then, let's first go to our company and have you fill in an application.
Yes!
Hold it right there!
Since we were here first.
This here is OUR house!
What do you mean?
You can't have this place since we were here first.
That's true, right?
Yeah.
First! First! First!
Please sell it to us!
What should we do, Sangen'ya-san?
I am truly very sorry.
Since I thought the Koganei-samas weren't going to purchase this place.
We never said we wouldn't buy it.
Well then...
...place your signature here.
Dear, sign it, sign it!
Ah!
Hurry up!
I am truly very sorry.
Where's your seal?
Ah!
I forgot it!
They fell for it.
This is great, isn't it?
That was a close call!
Were those people earlier for real?
They were a couple I've never seen before...
...nor that real estate agent, either.
Don't tell me you tricked them?
My job is to sell houses.
That's true, but...
There is no house that I can't sell!
We're back.
We've returned.
Welcome back.
Something incredible happened, Section Chief.
Oh no. Was it that interesting, Fuse-san?
Even you were interested.
What "interesting thing" happened?
Chief Sangen'ya took away her house key.
Then told her she couldn't have it back until she got a customer appointment.
Eh...
And not only that.
What is it?
You tell him.
Eh?
I have to tell him?
Never mind that; just hurry and tell me!
Shirasu-san has to stand at Shinjuku Station like a sandwich man.
Brings back memories, doesn't it? When you were a sandwich man, Section Chief.
Back in the Showa era, we real estate shops would do sandwich men a lot.
(1926-1989)
Be quiet for a minute.
Yes?
Where at Shijuku Station are you right now?
At the cafe at the south entrance.
Huh?
If I collapsed from a heat stroke, Section Chief...
...I figured you'd feel sorry and that it was your responsibility...
...so I'm taking a break in a cool spot.
Come back here.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Get back here on the double.
Then I'll come back as soon as I drink my tea.
I told you to come back right away, didn't I?!
Ah, well... just hurry back.
Just leave your tea and hurry back here and I won't get angry at all. Okay?
Section Chief, shall I go pick her up?
Why pick her up?
Because I feel sorry for her somehow.
Are you drunk?
I get told that a lot.
Since we don't know but if left alone she just might drink tea forever.
Adachi, go get her and come right back.
Understood.
Cold...
Huh?
Because this was the first time in my life that I've sweated so heavily...
...and then afterwards getting directly hit by the air conditioner, I got really, really chilled.
Hmm...
Adachi-san... why did you come and pick me up?
Were you worried about me?
I...
Why did I come to pick you up, Shirasu-san...
Why? Why?
A property Niwano was promoting has been sold.
No, more importantly...
I sold it; not Niwano.
Sangen'ya-san's 1 day sales amount is 960,000 yen.
You go, Chief Sangen'ya!
More importantly than that...
Why did you tell Shirasu to become a sandwich man?
What was that about?!
And besides, you shouldn't take house keys away without telling me.
What you are doing is power harassment.
That's right.
"That's right"? Hey you...
Power harassment in order to make a person grow.
Are you being serious?!
Weren't you a sandwich man once, Section Chief?
I was, but this is...
Then it's fine, isn't it?
The era has changed!
And besides, you're a Teiko Real Estate Company employee and my subordinate.
You have to abide by the company's compliance rules.
Here.
Since this is the instruction manual for subordinates, read through it carefully.
Whaa...
I've returned.
We've come back!
Thanks for your hard work, thanks for your hard work, thanks for your hard work.
Shirasu Mika.
Eh?
Why have you returned?
Eh?
I called her back.
Is that right.
Then start calling each one of the people on our customer list.
Sit down!
Yes!
Call until you gotten an appointment with one.
Come on already...
Shirasu Mika.
Your job is to sell houses.
I am going out to sell a house.
Adachi-san... take this off.
Huh?
Hurry and get that off her, Prince.
Yes.
Don't make such weird sounds!
Teito University
Hospital Institute
But I'm busy.
I will accompany you to your next destination.
What will become of your child?
That has nothing to do with you.
May I watch over your child tonight?
Eh?
If you don't trust me, whom you only met a little while ago...
...then I will have Niwano watch him.
You want to sell that house that much?
I want to sell you a different house.
Since it is one close to the hospital, I really want you and your husband to see it.
Niwano-san stressed that you don't have any good properties near the hospital though.
There is.
What do you mean?
I think it's one you'll like.
Hijikata-sensei, you're on duty tonight, aren't you?
How about early tomorrow morning?
Once your shift is over.
I don't know what my husband will say...
...but I'm off-duty at 7 am.
Well then, I will pick you up at 7 am tomorrow morning.
If your husband can't make it, just you alone will do.
I will take charge of your child tonight and Niwano and I will watch over him.
I will pick you up tomorrow morning.
I will then take him directly to the nursery school.
I will undertake all of that tomorrow morning.
Coming and attacking a person's weaknesses...
Just what sort of person are you?
I am a real estate agent.
This is Sangen'ya. I won't be returning to the company today.
Get back here and return Shirasu's house key to her!
I won't return it.
Hello?
Hello!
Hey, not done yet?
Adachi-san! Adachi-san, hey...
Couldn't you hurry it up a little?
Chief Sangen'ya
Yes?
Go to the Hijikata-sensei's home right away.
We will be spending the night there.
Eh?
Wha... what's this about?
It's in order to sell a house.
Eh?
This is the answering machine...
Who is she talking to?
In the event Chief Sangen'ya doesn't come back...
...Murota-kun, could you let Shirasu stay with you overnight?
Sorry, my boyfriend's coming tonight.
You house would be fine Section Chief, since it's so large.
No, since I'm a single man, my house wouldn't work.
I'm fine with it though...
I'm against it!
Guess she'll have to use the company nap room.
Ah, Sanchi put Shirasu's house key in her drawer earlier.
"Sanchi"?
Okay! Look for that key!
Why, geez...
It's no good.
That Sanchi can do things.
"Sanchi"? Could it be you mean Chief Sangen'ya?
Because "Chief Sangen'ya" is too long.
Since the company nap room stinks, I'll just stay overnight at a spa.
A spa?
Don't you know of spas, Section Chief?
I... I do know them!
Welcome...
Ah, Yashiro-chan, you've come today, too?
I'm already so exhausted I should be admitted to a hospital.
Prince Adachi, what's happened?
Ah, just something.
I don't think you should be this hurt over it, Section Chief.
Must be nice being young and carefree.
Sorry for being carefree.
Are beers fine?
Yeah.
I'll have a highball, please.
Okay.
That's right. Before I get drunk, I have a favor to ask of you.
Yes?
Tomorrow at 9 am, I have a management meeting at company headquarters.
So if Chief Sangen'ya tries to turn Shirasu into a sandwich man again...
...you need to block her.
I couldn't do that!
Please!
Since she isn't one to listen to people.
What do you think will happen to me if Shirasu complains to Human Resources?
Then I'll tell Shirasu not to do such a thing.
Shirasu will listen to what I say...
...but once Chief Sangen'ya says something, it's like I get whipped, too.
Prince Adachi being whipped would be cool. I'd like to see that.
Here; thanks for waiting.
Thank you very much.
Here you go. Thanks for your hard work.
Then...
...thanks for your...
Ah!
Thanks for your hard work!
You've worked hard.
Thanks.
Ahh!
I really might die now.
Hijikata
Run horse! Run horse!
Horse! Run faster!
Neigh, already.
Neigh! Neigh!
More! More!
Wait... that's dangerous!
Master, your horse is tired.
Then Onee-san, you neigh.
I will do no such thing.
Do it.
Yes.
Run horse! Run! Run horse!
Neigh!
Grandma
Loquat Tree
"Loquat tree."
Grandma
Loquat Tree
Horse! Run! Horse, run!
Stop.
Yes.
Ah... a boring dinner.
You always eat alone?
Yeah.
You surprised me!
Should I go buy something for us, too?
No, since I'm going out.
Eh?
You're leaving me here alone?
I'll be right back.
Because Sangen'ya-san is a liar...
She tells lies?
I will be back.
Grandma told me that it's best not to lie.
Your dead Grandma said that, huh?
Grandma isn't dead!
So long.
No, no... please wait.
She's pretty.
Huh?
She's pretty.
You can have this.
Eh?
Since Mama won't come home.
Horse. Your feed.
This era is different. A different era.
I know, I know.
It's true that back when I joined the company...
...they would tape the phone receiver to my hand and say...
..."You keep making calls until you get an appointment!"
...is what they would tell me.
But one year later, there was no one faster than me at making appointments over the phone!
That's such a heart-pounding story!
Was it the harsh leadership?
I do think doing such things is good...
...but this is a different era. A different era.
That's right, that's right.
I'm great, right?
Yeah. You're great, you're great.
I'm doing my best, right?
You're doing your best; doing your best.
Then...
Kanpai! Kaan!
Hmm...
Argh, this ain't no joke!
Ah, feels so good!
And the new clothes I had to buy to wear for tomorrow were so expensive.
Ah... feels so good.
Well, I've wanted to come to a spa just once.
Ah, something good did happen today.
Adachi just might love me.
Ahh... I know!
I'll surprise Adachi tomorrow.
Ah! Right there!
Right there! Right there!
Grandma
Loquat Tree
Falls happen.
Good morning.
Ah! That looks good!
Since there's no time, I ate earlier.
Sangen'ya-san, did you make this?
It's in order to sell a house.
You fell?
That's right.
After you've eaten, we'll go to Teito University Hospital.
Eh?
We're going to see a new house.
We will tour the apartment in Mejiro's Sakanoue.
Eh?
That's the one in Sakanoue the Section Chief has been saying we just have to sell, isn't it?
All of you seriously consider how to sell this propery in Mejiro's Sakanoue!
They wouldn't even consider a 1 LDK like that; they'll just turn it down.
If it's me, I will sell it.
Even though they've budgeted 100 million, that's going for just 50 million, isn't it?
They won't take one just half their budget, will they?
Please hurry and eat.
Wha... what's the matter?
I want to live here forever with Grandma!
Grandma isn't dead!
Ah, wait...
There is no house that I can't sell!
Teito University
Hospital Institute
Leggo! Let go! Let go!
Do you know what happens here?
These are babies who were born today.
Since the one on duty was Hijikata Yayoi-sensei...
...these are the babies your mother delivered, aren't they?
These children who are only just born...
...will all go on living from today while confronting their deaths.
Because once a person is born, they will die someday.
These children, you and me will all die someday, too.
Your Father and Mother, too, will die just like your Grandma.
No one can escape from that.
So...
...though it is sad that your Grandma died...
...there is nothing special about it.
Since both I and you will die someday, too.
And because everyone dies, for those who are alive right now...
...they must become strong people who overcome their feelings for those who have died.
Just because you are a child, you must not behave like a baby!
Since even if you cry, it will not bring back the dead!
But...
...by continuing to live on, we will not suffer a defeat to death.
I think your Grandma died while hoping that you...
...would overcome her death and live on energetically.
From here...
...I will be going to see a new home with your parents.
Let's go together.
Sokyu.
Mama!
Weren't you supposed to be waiting at 7 at the entrance?
Since we arrived early, we were watching the babies in the neonatal unit.
Why again?
That is a secret.
This is Teiko Real Estate's Sangen'ya-san.
I'm Hijikata.
Our son was under your care yesterday.
It was a big help. Truly, thank you very much.
But what happened to your clothes?
I fell.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
As the property today is nearby, we will walk there.
Since it is only 3 minutes away.
There was a property that close by?
What has the person in charge of us been doing until now?
Speaking of which, where is Niwano-kun?
Because he is useless, I left Niwano behind.
You felt like coming along, huh?
This is the apartment I recommend for you.
Apartment?
But we wanted a newly-built, single family 3 LDK house.
Ah!
My drawing!
Why is that here...?
I tried to arrange the furniture in the image I got of the Hijikata-sama family.
Where is this furniture from?
First come this way.
How many individual rooms are there?
As a 1 LDK, this is the only bedroom.
In this bedroom, the three of you please rest in the "river" character formation.
(川)
The three of us sleep together?
That's right.
Really?!
Haven't you mistaken which customer you're with?
I am not mistaken.
This is your husband's desk.
This will be your desk.
For your son's desk, this dining table will be sufficient.
Since your son is still little...
...I don't think there is a need for him to have his own room at this time.
That's not for you to decide.
The son will please sit here.
I want this one!
No!
This one!
When you are here, you will be able to clearly see your Father and Mother's faces.
Then here!
Whether studying or drawing, all of you will always be together here.
With no living room stairs...
...isn't it, "living all together"?
Still, wouldn't it be a bit cramped with all of us in here?
No, this might be good.
Eh?
Lastly, please look at the veranda.
It's the hospital.
NIWANO!
Yes!
Hijikata-sensei!
Ah! It's the horse!
Neigh!
The distance is such he can hear an "Oi!" being called out to him.
Even when his parents are at work...
...your son should be able to feel that they are close by.
NIWANO!
Bring what I told you!
Understood!
Thank you for waiting.
Ah!
A loquat tree!
It was rude of me...
...but I took a cutting of one branch from the loquat tree at your home.
It's Grandma!
A luxurious, newly-built house the Hijikata senseis were searching for...
...with state-of-the-art facilities...
Or one close to the hospital with a space where you can feel the body warmth of your family.
Along with your memories of Grandmother.
I think here is the best place for you.
Here is best for me!
Sokyu...
Let's live here from now on, Sokyu.
Yeah!
They fell for it.
Hijikata Toru-sensei. Yayoi-sensei.
Will you purchase this 1 LDK apartment for 50 million yen?
We'll buy it.
We finished this very cheaply, didn't we?
When Sokyu is ready for a room of his own, we can buy a replacement.
We can use this until then.
Well then, please sign this application form.
Come over and play again! Horse, too!
Neigh!
Um...
Um, do you have a moment?
Eh?
Ah, just a moment...
Um, well... Just a moment.
What is it?
Um... Um... Um...
This is in thanks for yesterday.
Yesterday?
What did I do yesterday?
For coming to pick me up and for carrying those sandwich boards for me...
Um, this is...
...a bento for you.
Huh?
Take it. Take it. Take it.
To Adachi-san
Since I'm on a diet right now...
...I will just accept your feelings.
Thank you.
Eh?
Ah... Adachi-san.
Huh?
Um Adachi-san, are you going out with anyone?
I'm not.
Lucky!
Out of the way.
Good morning.
The apartment in Mejiro's Sakanoue has been sold.
Oh...
It wasn't Niwano. I sold it.
She's good at selling.
There is no house that I can't sell!
Sangen'ya-san, two sales this month.
Company sales this month have hit 312 million yen!
Yo! Chief Sangen'ya!
Shirasu Mika!
You shouldn't be here, now should you?
Um...
The Section Chief will be delayed due to a management meeting this morning...
...but he said no sandwich men should be done.
I was to convey that for now.
Shirasu Mika...
GO!
Understood.
Since I think Adachi-san will have to come pick me up again.
I'll be going.
Adachi... what are you gonna do about that?
That is just a common misunderstanding.
No, that's not common.
Ah... I really am a crime, aren't I?
Chief Sangen'ya.
You're pretty tough on the rookies...
...but even if she gets serious about it all night and hands out 3,000 flyers as a sandwich man...
...30 years from now she'll end up looking just like me.
And so... how do I put this?
Our younger colleagues are suited for this era that...
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Aren't you listening?
I'm your senpai here. Your senpai...
Chief Sangen'ya, your mail.
You gave us the push we needed to decide on the apartment we really wanted.
Truly, thank you very much.
We're as happy as can be.
What's wrong?
Take that call.
Ah... yes.
This is Teiko Real Estate, Shinjuku Office. I'm Niwano. Yes.
Excuse me...
I think we met yesterday too, didn't we?
Huh?
That's a nice apartment, isn't it?
I'm in a rush to find myself an apartment, but could I see this one today?
I can't?
Sure!
Sure...
Um, I'm with Teiko Real Estate...
I'm Shirasu Mika. Thank you very much.
Um, this... This will be my treat.
Shirasu?
Ah... she's doing that again?
I got an appointment for a house tour!
Ehh...
You really did it, Shirasu!
And he's definitely a rich man!
He's definitely the President of an IT company!
Now, now, don't get so excited.
Whether he's the President of an IT company or anything else, that's great!
You did it! Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I made an effort and got it done.
Shirasu Mika.
Like I thought, the key was in her drawer.
There's no point in getting a tour appointment unless you get a sale out of it.
It's too soon for rejoicing.
Now, now, don't say that.
It's possible she'll sell it and then gain confidence.
Right!?
Yes!
Why?
Was it wrong of me to let her go there alone?
What if something happens to her?
Yes?
Hello?
Section Chief...
He didn't come.
I see.
I'm sorry.
Well, since it was your first try, what can you do?
Please be careful and go home.
I'm taking... tomorrow off.
Eh... Why?
Ah! Shirasu!
Why didn't you advise her to immediately get after her next property?
Because she was crying.
Does crying sell houses?
It's Shirasu.
Yes?
Um...
I treated that customer I met today to coffee...
...but can I expense it?
You can't.
Ah, Shirasu? Hello?
Sangen'ya-kun, want to go out for drinks?
Section Chief, you're the lowest.
Maybe I... should take tomorrow off, too?
Teito University
Hospital Institute
This has been signed.
Thank you very much.
I'd like to use that furniture as is though.
Very well.
Since I was supposed to have taken that out yesterday...
...I will draw up an estimate and e-mail it to you by tonight, Sensei.
Although both I and my husband are called "Sensei" every day...
...we think of you as our Sensei.
Ah.
After all, you carry the burden of people's lives just like doctors and lawyers do, don't you?
I'm not such an important person as that.
I only sell houses for the money.
Really?
Really.
I understand about the furniture, so since I need to get to work, I'll be going.
Welcome back.
At least say, "I'm back."
I'm back.
Shirasu Mika didn't come in after all?
When she comes in tomorrow, I'll have her pass out flyers.
How many?
For now, about 100 of them.
Make it 3,000 please.
Otherwise have her be a sandwich man.
Are you the Section Chief here?
What was that? I couldn't hear you.
I didn't say anything. You just misheard?
Is that right?
There's a tense feeling going around this Section.
Ah, I'm going to the restroom.
Ah, wait!
Getting on!
Thank you very much.
Safe!
Sangen'ya-san must get a huge income, so I wonder what sort of house she lives in?
A platinum image?
Seems she has no family so she can't help but accumulate money.
Perhaps she's an unmarried mother, Fuse-san?
Wouldn't want such a scary woman for that.
Still, she is pretty, isn't she?
Ah, I don't mean anything in particular by that.
She walks too fast.
Awesome!
Huh?
But I feel I've seen this house somewhere...
