Men!
-Raise overhead. Then swing! -Men!
Raise overhead...
-Then Swing! Raise overhead. Then swing! -I was terrible at all sports.
Raise overhead. Then swing!
I started doing kendo at the suggestion of my father, but...
Start!
Strike to the mask!
Akio.
Why don't you attack?
Don't you want to win?
Yes, I do, but...
Aren't you training enough?
If you want to quit, then quit.
Okay, I quit.
Do whatever you want.
I'm pretty sure
Dad wanted to teach me the value of not giving up.
However, I wasn't able to live up to his expectations.
But now...
Are you nervous?
It will be fine. Let's do this.
Kirin, get ready!
Go!
Let's do this!
I. Jones expresses his disappointment to M. Maidy.
It's all right. Don't give up.
Now, our roles are reversed.
We'll win by all means.
Dad.
Dad of Light Project.
This is my project to invite my father
into the Final Fantasy XIV world, a place that I love,
and go on spectacular adventures with him while concealing my true identity.
It's my way of showing my father that I care for him!
Are you serious, Inaba?
We can't use this copier until tomorrow?
EPISODE 3 NEVER GIVE IN
I'm sorry. When I took over as sales rep,
-I misread the toner... -I don't care about that.
What are we supposed to do if we can't use this?
It will be ready by tomorrow.
Tomorrow is not good enough.
A copier sales rep like you may not understand,
but we're really busy here.
Mr. Ohtani, the previous sales rep, didn't make basic mistakes like this.
I'm sorry. Mr. Ohtani suddenly got sick, so...
Forget it.
Excuses won't make the situation better.
However, I will be reporting this directly to your boss.
What?
We can't use it until tomorrow because of a basic mistake.
Hey! What's going on, Inaba?
We got a complaint from the representative at Matsushiba!
They are one of our biggest clients.
I'm sorry.
I thought you would be capable of taking it over.
Anyway, I'm getting someone else to take over the account.
Fight back.
Actually...
What?
I'd like to keep trying, sir.
What?
I'll make sure it goes smoothly, sir.
Well, it will be fine if you're going to back him up.
You'd better do it right, okay?
Yes, sir.
-Back to your desk. -Thank you, sir.
Goodness.
You've got a real problem now.
That Miyanishi guy is a real headache.
A total jerk.
I'm surprised Mr. Ohtani managed to put up with that guy for so long.
Well, he's an expert at entertaining clients.
Thank you for sealing a deal with us!
I hope you make tons of copies with our copiers!
Thank you so much!
That's right.
If only that moron
hadn't been hospitalized for a lower-body triple-whammy:
kidney stones, appendicitis, and anal fistula.
Turn this problem into an opportunity.
If you get this done successfully,
your performance appraisal will improve.
Kosaku Shima was about to be fired by the president, Mr. Tomabechi.
But he turned that into a stepping stone and got promoted instead.
You know, I just realized
that everyone who has been promoted in a company
has overcome all kinds of problems.
It makes me see how amazing they really are.
I guess my father
has also overcome all kinds of problems.
-What? -Nothing.
By the way, I bought a new keyboard.
Really?
You mean, I can start talking today?
Yes.
We can finally talk to him.
I'm looking forward to it.
He's a quiet guy, so I doubt he will talk much.
Look, here he is!
I never got to figure out what you were thinking,
but this might be
my chance to finally peek into your mind.
Dad.
Good evening. It's a nice evening, isn't it?
Good...
Good evening. I'm Indy!
I finally got a keyboard!
I love talking. I look forward to talking with you!
I don't like being alone, so let's be friends.
Dad, you're like a totally different person.
I know that one. It's Taneda! Taneda from Yokohama!
-Right! How about this one? -That was good.
-It ends with "martie." -Ends with "martie"? Are you crazy?
It could only be Cromartie!
That's a really good impression.
Don't you think so, Inaba?
Well, I don't know much about baseball.
Come on. That's Cromartie. Warren Cromartie.
He got hit in the head with a pitch one day
and blasted a homer the next!
He snuck out of the hospital to play in that game.
That's right! He's the greatest import player Japanese baseball ever had.
You must have heard his name.
-Sorry. -What? You don't know him?
-He's also a drummer. -Oh, really?
I see.
This new sales rep doesn't know anything about baseball.
So it seems.
Inaba is just really, really nervous.
-That's Kakefu's impersonation. -Right!
Okay, I'm leaving now.
Sir!
-Hiromitsu Ochiai. -That's right.
Bye.
Goodbye, sir.
Take care.
You suck at entertaining clients.
Pardon?
I must tell you this
since you became our sales rep, you've done a terrible job.
Tonight, my boss easily could have taken us to one more bar,
but he called it a night and left.
I'm sorry.
You showed up to meet him without a gift.
You suck at holding conversation.
Mr. Ohtani, the last sales rep, always brought baseball tickets,
even when he just came by to say hello.
You knew that he loves baseball, right?
Anyway, it doesn't matter to me.
However, we don't do business just based on numbers.
You have to build a good relationship with clients too.
You're not the only one selling copiers.
To be honest, every company's copiers are the same.
Pardon?
See you.
What should I do with you?
No.
It's my fault for not choosing the right person for the job.
-Mr. Hakamada. -Yes, sir.
Take over.
Come on, sir. You're being too hasty. Let Inaba handle it a little...
Please take it over, Mr. Hakamada.
What?
If I continue as their sales rep, I would just cause our company trouble.
Please take over Matsushiba account for me.
-You can't be serious. -I am.
Please.
Mr. Inaba!
Here.
Mr. Ohtani asked me to do this for him.
He made me go to a matchmaking party
with Mr. Miyanishi and others from Matsushiba.
I didn't even want to, but I heard everything about Mr. Miyanishi
such as what his hobby is and what his favorite food is.
I wrote them all down in here.
I thought it might help you when you visit them.
I hardly paid attention at all, so there's not much here.
Thank you.
I appreciate the help,
but I'm not their sales rep anymore.
Really?
Bye.
If only I could live in this world...
There you are.
Oh, were you looking for me?
Yes. Help me fight against the Ifrit, please.
I practiced hard, so I won't make the same mistake as last time.
To be honest, I'm not in the mood,
but I guess I have no choice.
Indy, let's see how your practice pays off.
Sure!
Kirin, get ready!
Go!
Let's do this!
Oh, come on. You're not doing it right, Dad.
IFRIT
That's the fifth time today.
I'm so tired.
Let's prepare and practice again tomorrow.
It's okay to start over.
"I'd like to keep on trying.
I have a feeling I can defeat it pretty soon.
I can't let it defeat us just like that."
He sure hates losing.
But I still don't think we can win.
Let's try again tomorrow.
I. Jones: We can quit any time.
"We can quit any time.
But at times like this..."
I. Jones: It's important to keep trying!
If you want to quit, then quit.
Okay, I quit.
Do whatever you want.
There's no such thing as game over in real life
as long as you don't give up.
Please fight with me one more time!
All right. We'll keep fighting until we defeat it.
Okay!
Until we defeat it...
Sir, I have a favor to ask you.
What do you want so early in the day?
Please assign me as the sales rep for Matsushiba again!
-Please! -What?
Are you crazy? You know I can't do that.
Please!
I've already contacted their representative.
I'll do my best, so please give me another chance!
Please!
Mr. Miyanishi.
What? What are you doing here?
I thought I told your boss to get us a new sales rep.
I know I've made a lot of mistakes and caused you trouble,
but please let me work with you again!
Please!
What?
Here is a little present for you.
You stood in line for these?
Yes.
Thank you.
Mr. Iiyama!
Hello.
Oh, it's you, Inaba.
Yes, sir.
The other day, I went to see a baseball game.
-Really? -It was very interesting.
-Is that so? -Yes.
Yesterday's Giants' game was amazing too!
-You saw it? -Yes!
They came from behind twice!
-That's right! -Yes.
I have some tickets. Will you please go with me next time?
Sure! You bet I will!
All right! I'm looking forward to this!
Look, Inaba. He's doing it again.
Daisuke Matsuzaka!
That's right!
Good job!
Thank you for your help again today.
Your advice was a big help.
I've learned a lot from you too, Indy.
I really appreciate it.
Here. Look at this, honey.
Let's go on this next year.
AROUND THE WORLD CRUISE
"Around the World Cruise"?
We finally have time for this now that you've quit your job.
I'm not sure if I can go.
Oh, come on!
What is that supposed to mean?
I know you'll have fun if we go.
Yes, I guess so.
I shouldn't give up so easily.
