Good morning.
Ah, good morning.
Um...
His funeral ceremony is at Ikegami Honmonji.
I'm worried somehow...
I wish I could go with her.
Yes.
But... I have to run the restaurant, don't I?
Ah!
There is one person we could ask.
Eh? Who is it?
A person in the neighborhood who said they would help out.
Eh?
Come!
Where to?
Eh? To Suzufuritei.
Eh?!
Never mind; just come!
No way!
Never mind; just come!
What are you saying?!
You said you would help, Yuka! Geez!
No way!
Since if you don't do it now, you'll never do it!
Come on.
Hello.
I've brought her!
Yuka...
Hello.

Have you been well?
I guess.
I see...
You are looking well.
Yeah. I guess.
Yes! Sorry about this.
You can have your reunion meeting and talk after the restaurant has closed.
What I'm saying is, the toughest time is now, just before we open.
Suzuko-san!
Eh?
Hurry and get ready and take care of Tomi-san, please.
Ah... Ah, that's right...
Yuka, do you have experience working the dining hall?
Eh?
Ah... well, when I was a child, I would help out here.
Well, I know the main points of it...
Very well.
Well, you won't be much of an asset then, will you?
Huh?
Chef!
Eh? Ah, yes?
As I will be working the cash register as well today, I'm sorry to ask for this...
...but please add just a tiny bit of time between serving dishes. Just a tiny one.
I think it's better to have a minute lag between them than letting them pile up.
Ah, yes, I understand.
Hide-san!
Since I'm not used to the cash register...
...I think there'll be times when there's a line of people paying and I can't work.
Please help out in the dining hall during those times.
I'll give you a signal.
Roger that.
Genji-san!
Yes.
Nothing in particular for you!
Eh? What is that...?
Yes! Well then everyone, let's get to it!
Let's work together!
Let's work together...
Yuka, let's see... Change clothes in the reception room. Go change.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Suzuko-san... please get going!
Yes, yes, yes.
Take care of things.
Okay! Let's do our best!
Yes!
Dad...
Concerning Yuka, I hadn't considered meddling unnecessarily up till now...
...but I felt this was something I absolutely had to do.
I gave it all sorts of thought and thought of nothing but it...
...but even if it is meddling somehow, I felt now was the time to do that.
Ever since those words...
How about valuing your own feelings a bit more?
Hide is there inside of Mineko, isn't he?
And inside of Hide, too...
About her...
I love her.
Ah... It was a dream...
Just now I had a dream where I was in a long-distance race...
...and I was the only one falling behind.
I had a dream where I woke up one morning...
...only to find there was no one else in this world...
...but just the two of us, Yuji.
Not another soul in this world... Not a soul...
Somehow I was totally unaware of it until recently...
...but don't you feel all sorts of things have been happening to those around us?
Hello! Nice to meet you.
My name is Tokiko Sukegawa.
I want to be an actress.
What's this?
She seems to be steadily preparing for the contest, doesn't she?
I want to be a great actress!
There's the shadow of a man for Sanae-san as well.
No way... Ah, sorry, gotta go for a bit...
There does seem to be something, doesn't there?
Okay... I won't give up yet.
It's done!
Geez, that's totally wrong!
Ow!
Redraw it! Now!
How about this?
Whaa...!
That's great...
Maybe it's about time I took on the challenge of freeing myself of this unrequited love?
Aiko-san at last, too?
Ah, my!
Ah!
Somehow the two of you today...
...are so pretty!
Oh!
Oh?
And I'm sure, me too!
As we've come this far, shall we go together?
Yes! Let's go!
Wonder if it's a bit big...
Well... since it's the one Takako-san wore.
Sometime I can't move too quickly in it though.
Yes.
I was joking. I can move just fine in it.
I'm sorry.
Ah, but... taking this...
...and doing it like this here...
There! Yeah, looks good on you.
Does it?
Yeah.
Okay, okay, there's no time to be impressed.
Please get to work. The restaurant opens shortly!
Then... I'll be going.
Please take care of things.
Have a nice time.
Mineko, what should I do?
Please set the tables.
Okay!
Suzu-chan...
What's going on?
I'm coming with you. I didn't want you going alone.
Thank you.
That's okay.
Huh?
Are you crying, Suzu-chan?
Just a little.
We can talk as we go... Okay?
Yeah...
About all sorts of things... okay?
Ah... your restaurant...
That's okay.
It's okay.
Saute for Table 2 is done!
Yes.
Your Hayashi Rice.
Yes.
Then, I'll have that, too.
Yes.
Two Hayashi Rice, right? Certainly.
Table 4, two Hayashi Rice!
Table 4, two...
TWO HAYASHI RICE FOR TABLE 4!
Hayashi Rice...
Your bill comes to 630 yen.
Yes, that's 630 yen exactly.
Thank you very much!
And, Dad...
Actually, I did go and buy that magazine.
Well, seems she's got it tough.
Eh?
Kawamoto Setsuko?
She does?
Actress Kawamoto Setsuko Having Money Troubles!
All of her work is canceled
Kawamoto-san, please talk to us even a little.
Kawamoto-san, you're in there, right?
Please answer us.
Kawamoto-san, you're in there, aren't you?
Kawamoto-san!
Excuse us!
Couldn't you talk to us for just a bit?
Kawamoto-san.
Well... we know you're in there.
Couldn't you open up for just a moment?
Kawamoto-san.
Opening for just a moment and having a word with us would be fine.
How on earth could this have happened to Setsuko-san?
And isn't there anything that I can do for her?
