Both Sakura and Kentaro-kun have become company employees.
Starting today, you are all working members of society.
Please do your best to take responsibility for your own behavior and keep in mind you are company employees.
Yes.
Starting today, you will begin your training immediately.
You'll be at it harshly the entire day. Please work hard.
Yes!
We're going to the Expo!
I will be in charge of your training.
My name is Koyama Etsuko.
Let's work together.
What was that?
Eh?
That bobbing of your neck.
I was bowing to you.
Bowing? That just now?
All day today we will be practicing your bowing.
All day...
Yes! Bowing is the foundation of customer service.
I'm going to hammer it into you.
Are you ready?
Well then...
Welcome!
You were just joking with that one, weren't you?
I wasn't joking!
Well then, please show me your serious bow.
One more time.
Welcome!
Now, one more time.
Welcome!
Hello! Hello to countries of the West
Kon'nichiwa Kon'nichiwa nishi no kuni kara
Welcome!
It should be at a 30 degree angle. One more time.
Welcome!
Put your hearts into it. One more time.
Welcome!
Abe-san. Put some shoulder strength into it.
Don't forget to smile.
Welcome!
One more time.
Hello! Hello to countries of the East
Kon'nichiwa Kon'nichiwa azuma no kuni kara

What is it?
I had a lot of fun.
I've got souvenirs, souvenirs!
Welcome!

Ah... one more time.
Welcome!

And then...
Welcome.
Yes. That was good.
You've been bowing for three days...
...but there's your facial expression, tone of voice and your bow.
It is through you and those three things...
...that our customers get their impression of our company.
Those who stand in our stores...
...shoulder the efforts and love that a great many people put into it.
Please, do not forget that.
Yes.
Hmm... I'm exhausted.
What are you doing? This is in front of our store.
If our customers saw that, they could conclude we were shameful.
I'm sorry. Ah, Mom.
"Mom"?
I'm being really strict with them, but are you sure about this?
Well, if they can overcome this...
...I do think they'll become really strong company employees.
Yeah. That's what I want as well.
This is your parental love, right?
What's this? Company people.
It's been tough.
Would be, right?
It's always tough making money.
Ah, your coffee shop is open already?
That was quick, wasn't it?
Huh? I hadn't heard you were opening your shop today...
Not yet?
I am open.
Maybe so, but where's your signboard...
It's here.
Eh? Where is it?
It's name is: "The Unnamed Coffee Shop."
Eh?
Now, come in, come in.
The Unnamed Coffee Shop...
Welcome.
I want to buy a gift for the birth of a child, but what should I get?
Let's see...
This underwear...
...and this bib...
And how about these baby clothes?
Why those baby clothes?
That's because I would be happy if I was given them.
Which size would you recommend?
First off, you need to ask what month they were born.
Without that, you could get the size wrong, couldn't you?
And what's more, you didn't ask for the gender. If it's a girl, you could offer pink...
Eisuke-san.
Sumire-san.
I saw you the other day on TV. On that Expo program.
If it was that program, you also saw me with Kokado-san here, didn't you?
Major Trading Company KADOSHO's Director Kokado Mitsunobu
Yes... Nice to meet you. I'm Bando Sumire.
She is the founder of the baby and children's clothes store, Kiaris.
Ohh...
Huh? Saijo-kun?
Yes!
I'm sorry.
Would it be okay if I quit the company?
I'm Saijo. I am working under President Kokado.
Ah...
Is everyone still the same?
They're all doing well.
How about Sakura-chan?
After returning home from her studies in America, she's now working at my company.
Ohh...
She's in training right now.
Under Akemi-san...
Well then, Isawa-kun. We should go.
Ah, yes.
Excuse us.
Koyama Kotaro
Nice to meet you. I am the Representative Director of Daikyu Department Store, Koyama.
Ah... I'll take this.
Koyama-san, for you to be President...
I'm no equal in the least to Chairman Oshima...
...but I can match him in his love for Daikyu.
Iwase-kun told me that if we were going to Osaka...
...then I should offer my greetings to you first, Chairman Oshima.
I'm quite honored.
Actually, I will be hosting a show at the World Expo at this time.
A show?
Yes.
With lots of booming fireworks being set off!
Since the World Expo is a festival of the century that will let Japan's name resound around the world.
Now's the time to make our debut in the world!
To have both the strength and the funds to pay for that...
That's what you'd expect of KADOSHO.
No, no, no...
A plus for us is our capable people.
I thought I'd let Iwase-kun here be responsible for putting it all together.
Oh...
Having been given this great honor, I've become even more excited about it.
I have lots of ideas for it and it should be great fun.
It's sure to be a great success.
Ah... both the show and you.
Ah, Asuka-san.
How was the training?
Yeah. As I've been using my physical strength for the first time...
...as you'd expect, I'm tired.
You can do it!
Yes! Thank you very much.
Why, I wonder...
What's the matter?
Even though I was convinced when I was told they had gotten in on their talents...
Somehow... I've got this sick feeling about it.
We have training tomorrow, too...
Hmm...
My feet hurt.
We can't go on like this forever, can we?
Could you stop that?
There's a power in words, isn't there?
A power in words?
Words have power. There is a power in words.
When you say, "I'm tired, I'm tired," that can really hit you in a rush.
It's tough, but if you say instead, "I'm enriched by it"...
...you really will feel enriched.
This might just be my own impression, but I do think that way.
I have lived believing in that at least.
If you seriously do hate it, then I think you should quit.
You may think I'm telling you this as a way to change your minds...
...but it's just I don't want to hear those sorts of words.
That's true, huh. That's obvious.
I am truly sorry. I'm very sorry.
When... I saw that bow just now, I felt forgiveness for you.
Eh?
I see...
A well done bow is capable of that sort of thing.
You did it, Ken-chan.
Thanks for your work.
You've been doing your best, huh?
Yes.
Say, all of you... We hold a Product Council once a month...
A Product Council?
Yeah. To put it simply...
It's a place where we allow our employees to announce new products that they've thought of.
If it doesn't make it through the council, we won't commercialize that product.
Since there will be time after the employees have announced their products...
...I'd like each of the three of you to have a product to announce at the next council as well.
Yes!
Yes.
You two answered strongly, didn't you?
After all, I've been giving a great deal of thought to that for a long time now...
...so I've come up with a ton of ideas to share.
Sounds promising.
Yes!
Yeah.
Thanks for the meal.
That was quick.
That was fast, huh?
Seems she's working hard to prepare something for the Product Council.
Oh...
And then...
...the day of the Product Council had come at last.
Where's Sakura-chan?
I wonder what's happened to her...
Yes. Well then, since it is now time...
...I think we should begin the Product Council.
I'm sorry for being late!
Sumire's unease increased when she saw that Sakura was in a state out of the ordinary.
