- Cain and Abel... - They are brothers who appear in the Old Testament.
They were surrounded by God's love, but raised a quarrel
and in the end suffered a sad fate.
Ryuichi, in due course, you will be responsible for the House of Takada.
You are not like Yu.
If no one takes the risk now, there is no future for Takada.
Come with me tonight.
To a dinner. I will take Yu along.
I think I will leave this resort development project to you.
I pin my hopes on you.
Isn't it still a bit early for Yu to be put in charge of a project?
I will leave this project to Yu!
I want you to work with us.
Somehow I feel if I can work with you, it will become a success.
I'm begging you!
That's why I want you to quit the company and stay at home after our marriage.
Preferably at once.
Don't tell me I should quit my job.
Are you saying you'd rather work with Yu than marry me?
What happened?
I don't know.
- Did anything happen with Aniki? - I don't know.
- Excuse me... - Please.
Let me stay like this.
Okay!
It's over.
Thank you.
Give your best overtime, Ototo-kun!
I'm back.
Working on a holiday is hard, isn't it?
Good work.
Hey, Yu.
I know it now.
Marriage is a good thing.
A man should not just work.
I used my time today to decide various things together with Azusa.
I see.
We're going to marry within the year.
That's good, isn't it, Aniki?
Yu, how old are you?
- 23. - Isn't there a good girl for you?
No, there's none. I guess it's too early for me to marry.
Don't say that. Try to think seriously about it.
Aniki,
- something is wrong, isn't it? - Really?
Well, good night.
Dad, did you get a reply from President Saeki of Mitsukawa Products?
Ah, that's right. I still haven't told you.
He readily accepted to be the guest of honor.
I see. That's good.
- Guest of honor? - We're talking about our reception.
Listen, Yu.
For Takada, a marriage is an important event to establish close ties.
It's not something we can decide just as we like.
A lot of arrangements have to be made.
That's hard, isn't it?
And you, don't you know when you will marry?
But I told you it's still too early for me.
Your age doesn't matter.
You can't know when you will meet a girl you love.
For a man, his work and his family are both important.
- Isn't that true, Dad? - Yeah, that's right.
Yu, do like Ryuichi does
and think a bit more of the future.
Alright.
- Well then, thanks for the meal. - You're welcome.
Yu, come along with me. I want to talk about the presentation.
Yes.
- Fumi-san, thanks for the meal. - You're welcome.
We're leaving.
It's drawing nearer, right?
Yes. In 2 weeks, Steven Holl will come to Japan.
He's formidable, that guy. You will know too once you meet him.
It will be quite difficult to convince him.
He is always calm and logical. Not a person you can influence with emotions.
Your normal way of doing things won't work with him.
Well, make an effort!
Yes.
I used my time today to decide various things together with Azusa.
We're going to marry within the year.
- Did anything happen with Aniki? - I don't know.
- Morning, Yu-kun. - Good morning.
How long did you work today? 10 o'clock? 11 o'clock?
- It was about 12 o'clock. - Really?
Good work. Let's work hard today too.
Yes.
The final presentation will be in 2 weeks.
Draymond Resorts' CEO
Steven Holl will attend it.
For Takada, this is a project where we absolutely must not fail.
If we are successful,
it will have consequences for the company in the next 10 years.
It's a major project that affects the company's future.
That's why it is necessary to choose a location
that offers profitability, internationality, and future prospects.
And this location is Minegasaki.
This is a high potential place
with pristine beautiful nature and good quality hot springs.
Its connections to the airport and trainstation are good,
and best of all, the local municipality are cooperative with the resort development.
What's furthermore important, is the concept.
The concept we will suggest to Draymond Resorts is:
"Your own space, your own nature".
- Oh, sounds good! - As expected of the leader!
Thank you very much.
It's 2 weeks till the final presentation.
"My beloved Yu-kun is so far away"?
No, Chief, you're wrong! Please stop with that!
- Then, we here should do our best here! - Yes.
When the business that the president himself had acquired
was suddenly left to your brother, I was, frankly speaking, surprised.
I suppose you are worried that Yu is in charge.
No, no! I didn't say say that.
- Well, looks like it couldn't be helped. - No,
it appears to be going smoother than expected so far.
Your brother seems to be a leader who carries everyone along.
I see.
Well, he will learn a lot from this.
Every now and then, keep a watching brief over him please.
Yes. Excuse me.
Hello. It's Takada.
How are you?
- Pardon? - It's me. Me!
Come here, come here!
Hi, Takayuki! Be greeted.
Oneesan, how many times have I told you!
It's troubling if you come unannounced.
- A souvenir for you. - What is it?
Dried mango.
- You have been in Bangkok? - Right.
Takayuki, shouldn't you better inspect the local scene too?
In order to have a close look with your own eyes.
What do you mean?
Momoko-san, you are here?
Ryuichi! Just call me Momo-chan.
Hey, come here for a moment.
Here please.
Ryuichi! Takayuki, check your souvenir please.
You see, it's Ryuichi who I wanted to meet.
How's the resort development project running?
Huh? How can you know of that?
If you do it well, it could become a goldmine.
Speaking of it, thank you very much for last time.
Thanks to you, BDC in Bangkok recovered
and the urban development project is running smoothly.
This might be wrong.
Temporarily, it may be going well thanks to my cash injection,
but this BDC has a fundamental problem.
Please wait a moment. Kurosawa-san,
didn't you invest because you thought it would become a successful business.
Well, I don't know what will happen in the end.
However, that company is badly managed.
It was a mistake of Takada to choose them.
Then, why did you invest?
I had no choice.
If I had not done it,
your family had kept calling me a swindler, right?
That's why I invested. It was a pawn sacrifice.
What's the meaning of this?
What's the merit? What do you get in return?
I did it because I love Momoko-san, of course.
Still, it was good that Kousuke made the investment, wasn't it?
Yes. I'm truly very thankful.
And Kousuke betted on you at first sight.
Momo-san, you don't have to push yourself.
It was Yu, right? Kurosawa-san said so himself.
I said just call me Momo-chan.
You knew it?
Yes. But it's alright.
I'm really grateful to Kurosawa-san.
The backgrounds of his investment do not matter.
I have the responsibility to make this Bangkok project a success.
That business is now a test.
Whether we can use the funds we received reasonably.
This is the key to the growth of Takada.
In that respect, you're exactly like Takayuki, right?
If Momoko was a man,
she instead of Takayuki would be sitting now on the president's chair.
Well then, Ryuichi. Good luck.
Your father and brother are useless, I guess.
The more you try to protect a company,
the more it is slowly sinking.
Your father and brother are always on the defensive.
What are you saying?
We're all working hard for the growth of the company.
Besides, why do you care about me?
Yu...
because I love you.
Sorry for letting you wait.
You're beautiful, Azusa.
Thank you.
Let's take a little more time to talk about your work.
I'm sorry.
Continue working or staying at home,
that's an important decision for your life.
I really want our marriage to become happy.
Yes.
Ah, there she is. I heard it, Yahagi-kun.
You're going to get married soon. With the vice president!
- Eh, really? - Yeah.
The vice president just announced it on the board meeting.
You must tell us such a thing sooner.
Won't you be the wife of the future president? Applause!
Congratulations!
- Here you go. - Thank you very much.
Oolong tea? Could it be you'll work after this?
Yes. The presentation will be real soon now.
You're a real workaholic, right?
Say, Yu. How is it? The new project.
Isn't there a famous guy coming from America?
Yeah, Draymond's Steven Holl.
And you will negotiate with this man?
That's right. It's truly frightening, isn't it?
But, when I forget this for a moment,
work is incredibly fun.
I thought I was absolutely not suited to be an office worker.
But now I think of my work even in my free time.
Seems you've become quite dependable, Yu-kun.
No, no, no, not yet.
I guess I still have to work hard.
Isn't there anything you want to talk about?
No, not really. I just wanted to drink.
So you won't tell me your feelings?
Somehow,
I have the feeling that Yu is steadily moving away from me.
But, that's alright for me.
Because I think I have to root for Yu who's working so hard.
I see.
Here.
Drink, drink!
- This is my treat. - Really?
Yu, I want to work with you.
Thank you very much. I want that too.
I've shown the presentation material to my boss.
There are 13 points which I want you to fix.
13?! So many?
The boss will definitely mind these drawbacks.
There is little time, but try to do something about them.
Yes, of course.
The specific instructions I received from Eric are those 13 points.
Eh? Shall we fix them still?
Can we make that in time?
I'm sorry. I want to make it in time.
Their top Steven Holl is a very strict man.
That's why I want to show him something perfect.
Draymond Resorts' first building in Japan
is a luxury resort hotel with rooms for 30 guests.
But if this is successful, they plan to expand nationwide.
And the name Takada will also become known to the world.
I'm begging you, please give me your support.
Alright. I will fix the prospectus.
I will go to the design room and ask for the corrections.
Thank you very much.
Alright! Well, isn't this the opportunity
- to prove ourselves to our leader? - Yes!
Thank you very much. Please support me.
How's the completion of the video proceeding?
Can I see the fixed title part already?
Sorry. The title is difficult and will take the whole day.
Alright. Then, let's check the other correction points in the afternoon.
Azusa-san, can you make this here a little easier to read?
Then, shall I partition the explanatary notes?
- Do that please. - Alright.
You're pretty light on your feet, huh?
The scenery here is beautiful, isn't it?
Eric sent 4 more points that need to be fixed.
Again?! He's damned persistent, huh?
But we have to meet his expectations, haven't we? Azusa-san, take care of this please.
- Okay. I'll fix it as quickly as possible. - Alright.
Wow, that's super cool.
"Japan's 4 Seasons" is the title I imagined.
- How's that? - That sounds good.
- Takada! - Welcome back.
- Good work.
We wandered around like crazy to search for it.
What we suggest is a resort hotel in tune with the great outdoors.
Or does "in harmony" sound better?
I think "in tune" is better.
- Will we make it? - Don't worry.
- Let's do our best. - Yes.
Then, I will go to the site now.
- Please do so. - I will do my best with the schedule too.
Yes please.
Continue working or staying at home, that's an important decision for your life.
Azusa.
Is it not good?
That's not what I mean. Which one is better?
I'm talking about our honeymoon.
Alsace in France or the Basque region in Spain?
Both are good, right?
I always wanted to travel the Alsacian wine road once.
Walking along the vineyard paths
and drinking Grand Cru in a wine cellar.
But the Spanish Basque region is also good.
The streets are picturesque and there are lots of tasty bars too.
But in any case, it's good that there are lots of restaurants with a star, right?
We could say we're eating at a 3-star restaurant.
That's sounds so great!
Azusa.
Would you really hate staying at home?
Of course, I know it is an important consideration
if you should become a housewife or continue working.
But I
will have to make the company big from now on
and can't protect the Takada house.
I want us to become an invincible team.
That's why I want you to stay at home.
I know you entered our company because it was your dream
to work in urban development.
But, since you're now going to marry me,
I want you to do it.
That's...
Does that mean you want to tie me down?
Well then, can't you do it?
- I'm back. - We decided to marry in December.
Really?
Congratulations.
And we decided that she will quit her job.
Azusa-san said she'd be alright with this?
Of course. She agreed with me.
Really?
Even though she was so attached to her work?
She told me she had dedicated her life to it.
It's already decided.
So that's how it is.
I have dedicated my life to this work.
Let's do our best.
Yu, good work.
Say, when the presentation is over, shouldn't we go to the movies next time?
That means "Okay", doesn't it?
But, when the presentation is over, I won't be much use anymore.
I'm sure I'll be totally burned out.
Don't worry, don't worry. You can even fall sleep.
I don't mind if you fall asleep. Oi, Oi!
Hey! Stop that! I said stop!
- Azusa-san. - As always, you get along well, huh?
Well...
Next time, we'll go to the movies.
That's good. Everyone is calling for you.
Alright. See you, okay?
- The video is done. - Really?
Yeah. It's very good.
I let you wait.
- Is that for us? - Yeah. I've ordered it.
- This way. This. - Yes.
- What's all this? Great! - Seems the leader thinks of us!
It's from the store of an acquaintance.
Their gratinated onion soup is insanely delicious.
However, today it's vegetable soup.
Here you go!
- Takada, that's all for us? - Of course it is.
This looks delicious too.
- I'll take this. - I wanted to eat that!
Can't be helped. Then, 50-50, okay?
- Here. - Thank you very much.
Alright! Let's eat and then work to the max again!
Chairman!
Ryuichi.
You're going to marry?
- Congratulations. - Thank you very much.
Settling down is a good thing.
It will improve even your work.
But, it was quite sudden, wasn't it?
No, it was not like that.
I see.
Well, when I suddenly learned it,
I thought you had made her a child.
It was a joke.
You are an organized man.
You wouldn't do something so unreasonable.
Just as Takayuki wished, you climb the stairs step by step.
Safely, and aiming for perfection, right?
Say, Ryuichi.
What do you think is the ability a leader needs most?
The ability to bear the loneliness, perhaps?
I think
it's how much you're able to endear yourself to the people who are important for you.
Helping each other, sharing troubles,
discussing and talking, are there such people around you?
Are you saying
I don't have the ability to be a leader?
That's not what I mean.
You don't have to become like Takayuki.
You are Ryuichi,
and you should do things your own way.
The proposed site for the resort
is a place that's called characteristic of the Japanese landscape
where you can enjoy all the 4 seasons.
We're now fixing the documentation with full speed.
- After that... - Alright.
That's enough.
Yes.
Yu. Your work, how is it?
Is everything alright?
Can you do it?
Yes.
Doing it is pretty hard, but it's fun.
- I feel it's rewarding. - I see.
I think it's because my colleagues are doing their best for me.
- Colleagues? - Yes.
Without them, it was probably impossible for me.
But,
I have wonderful colleagues.
Excuse me.
President, you have called for me?
Yeah. We have a strategy meeting.
Momoko!
Papa!
Momoko is finally back in Japan,
and the one who takes his time is Papa.
But I've waited all the time for you to come back.
I have a present for you.
- Let me take it out. - What is it?
- Papa! - Welcome back.
Wonderful!
I wonder what will become of them now.
Takayuki, and Ryuichi, and Yu.
And the whole Takada family.
But as it looks now, Takayuki has finally noticed Yu's potential, right?
That may be so.
However, Ryuichi as well as Yu,
for the Takada family
and for me they're both our precious grandsons.
You're right.
Yu, listen! At the final presentation,
Steven Holl will probably demand
a management fee of 30%.
- 30%!? - That's a possible number.
We heard when he made a contract with the Italian Amoroso Group,
he started the negotiations with that percentage.
In this case, the Takada side will offer half of it, that's 15%.
The other side will be surprised at this low number.
But I guess they will be eager to realize this project too.
And the point of intersection... is 20%.
I think this is reasonable.
If it exceeds 20%, there won't remain a profit for us.
It's the last line of defense.
So bring the deal to a close with not more than 20% management fee.
- Understood. - Don't worry, Yu.
If the other side gets 20%, we won't make a minus.
- You should be able to reach a compromise. - There's no reason to be nervous.
The other side is only a human too.
Yes. I got it.
It has been really hard for all of you. Good work.
- The final is tomorrow, right? - Yes.
We'll go now to the location and prepare for the presentation.
You're really a good combination. I'm counting on you.
Yes.
- Please do your best. - Yes.
Please do...
Don't cry please.
I made it! I made it!
Finally I managed to edit it. It contains what Eric transmitted us.
Thank you very much.
- We're counting on you, Leader. - Yes.
To imagine that here the resort hotel will stand gives you a thrill, doesn't it?
Yes. It feels great.
Let's do our best.
We forgot the camera. Yu-kun, wait a moment!
- The camera! - I'll go ahead.
I said wait a moment!
For the final presentation for Steven Holl
I gave Takada-kun Yahagi-kun as assistant.
- I see. - They're a good combination, those two.
It's now the same as in rugby.
If a lineout happens, the throw-out...
Alright.
Azusa-san.
Ah, Yu-kun. Is the material well prepared?
- No problem. - I'm also prepared.
Then, shouldn't we take a short walk to be distracted?
- Shall we go? - Yes, let's go.
For me, he's only a co-worker,
but I guess he has aroused some marriage interest.
Are you saying you'd rather work with Yu than marry me?
Does that mean you want to tie me down?
Yu-kun, you are a mystery, aren't you?
Huh? What do you mean?
There were so many different people involved,
but you pushed it forward.
It's because I can't do anything.
If you can't do anything, you have to rely on other people.
It feels so good!
Right?
Somehow it's fun, isn't it? Working.
It may be hard, but you don't get this fulfilling feeling for free, right?
Azusa-san.
Are you really going to quit your job?
Aniki told me. He said you decided to quit.
I see.
The evening before, was there anything with Aniki?
Somehow
it's strange that in your presence I can be just myself.
When I have fun, I laugh heartily.
When it's hard, I say, "It's hard".
When I hate anything, I say, "I hate it".
I cry, I get angry.
Maybe you could say I accept myself.
If I had gone out with you,
it might have become a serious thing.
If you can cry loudly when you feel like it,
I think that's a great relief.
What am I talking? Somehow... I'm sorry.
Azusa-san.
It's alright.
In my presence,
please cry whenever you feel like crying.
I...
want to know you better.
