Please allow... Sakura-san and I to get married.
Eh? Kentaro...?
Please allow me and Sakura-san to get married!
Kimie!
Kimi-chan?
Kimie!
Mom?
It couldn't be, it couldn't be this development...
It's just... It's just they're parents who are surprised...
Sakura.
What?
Wait there.
Are you serious? Are you really sure about deciding on Kentaro-kun?
Yes.
Dad. Is there something you don't like about Ken-chan?
Huh? Well... it's not that I dislike him... I don't dislike him...
In that case, I want you to give us your blessing.
If you and Mom would only grant my wish of blessing us...
...then I would become incredibly happy.
I'm going to take a bath.
I should be the one taking a bath first.
She got in the bath, huh...

Kimie, how are you feeling?
I'm fine.
Ah, thank goodness.
I wonder if this is just a dream? Kentaro wanting to get married...
Yeah... This isn't a dream, is it...
How is Kimi-chan doing?
She's fine. She's calmed down.
Ah, thank goodness... Um... Tomorrow's our long-awaited day off...
...but if you'd like, the four of us could have a talk...
It would depend upon how Kimi-chan is feeling, though...
Ah, I think that would be okay.
And then... the following day.
Huh? What's he doing?
It's like he's painting something.
Ryu-chan, what are you doing?
Writing up my signboard.
Your signboard... Ehh...
Ryu?
Ah...
Ah, what are you doing?
There... All done.
Letbe?
Letbe
Letbe...
Letbe?
It's "Let It Be." It means, "Live as you are."
Great name, huh?
I hadn't heard anything about this...
Ryu. You're making your Dad really angry.
Eh?
What are you doing without even asking?!
The name of my cafe is "The Shop Without a Name!"
It doesn't need a name! Don't do unnecessary things!
No, no, that would just give my cooking a bad reputation!
What's with all this shouting first thing in the morning on our day off...
Akemi-san.
I'm sorry. Ryu, this is bothering our neighbors.
Look... des men and des ladies...
...all said my cookin' was delicious and dat eating it made them happy, right?
And even Akemi-san said I could run a shop of my own, right?
What about it?
Startin' now, it ain't a coffee shop anymore!
Huh?
I'm running a restaurant der!
Why should I let MY dream get hijacked by you?!
I ain't hijackin' it! I'm saying let's do dis tagether!
This is mine!
I've had all sorts of experiences.
Experiences?
Dat's right. As I went 'round da world, I went through unexplored regions...
...who'd never seen a Japanese or spoke English. Their language was different. Their cultures were different.
So I went inta all sorts of restaurants and washed dishes and did waiter work...
When I think back on dat now, I'd exchange anything fer a property of my own.
And da one I've found... is right here!
So what about it?!
You want a property, so it's okay to just selfishly take one that exists?!
Ya don't understand. I'm sayin' let's you and me split it, Dad!
I don't need that!
Are you a fool?! This is MY shop!
The reason you were able to travel around the world was because you had Chu-san's money, right?
I know.
When will you follow up on those great things you said like paying him back for a lifetime? Huh?
I didn't let even one yen of his go ta waste.
I'll always feel grateful to him.
I ain't forgotten my debt to him fer even one second!
Say... Dad. Let's do dis tagether.
World cuisine, Letbe.
It'll be fun! Everyone'll eat foods dey never ate before...
...and get ta learn 'bout cuisine and so be happy while eatin' it, too.
And den... after der done eatin', Dad'll come out with his coffee.
Hey, Dad. We kin do well at it tagether.
Well, if you did it like Ryu is saying...
...and it doesn't go well or you just hate it, couldn't you just go back to how it was again?
I want to eat Katsuji-san's cooking, too.
That's true. If this was a restaurant...
...everyone in the shopping district would be pleased as well, wouldn't they?
I suppose.
Okay! Dad, let's work tagether!
Fool!
By the way, why are you here today?
Ah...
You came here to talk, didn't you?
Right.
Ah, might be what I'm gonna say is unnecessary, but...
If it's unnecessary, then don't say it! You just keep quiet!
No, no, it's somethin' I gotta say.
Never mind that and get inside!
Since both Kentaro and Sakura are adults, think of 'em as adults...
From my point of view, both Ken-chan and Sakura-chan...
...look like grown adults to me.
Well, from your point of view as their parents, they'll always just be your children, won't they?
Both Sakura and Ken-chan are now both 25, aren't they?
Yes.
Thinking of them as a parent, they still have a long ways to go...
...but still somehow they've come this far, haven't they?
Our children have gotten to the age where they're thinking about marriage...
Yesterday... Sakura told us this.
"If you and Mom would only grant my wish of blessing us..."
"...then I would become incredibly happy."
Kentaro said the same thing.
It's true that having someone who thinks of you, prays for you and who gives you their love...
...you can become happy. I am extremely happy right now.
I have Norio-san... Sakura... and close friends...
And I'm sure I have my dead Father and Mother...
...praying for me, as well.
When you put it like that... we can't help but pray for them, can we?
Yeah.
That's a great aroma from there, isn't it?
Yes.
Letbe's recommended menu item: Mexican rice!
Should we have some?
We should.
Mexican rice...
I can't wait.
Good afternoon.
Letbe?
Letbe
Maybe that's "Let it be"?
The store's name...
Seems so.
"Let it be," huh...
That's just like Ryu-chan, isn't it?
It's a great name.
Right? It's a great name, right?
Yeah.
Just what we'd expect of you.
Ah, yer Pas and Mas have come, too.
I've made a tasty dish! C'mon, c'mon, hurry inside!
Welcome.
Dad, Mom.
I never thought I'd become in-laws with Sumire-chan.
Me, either. Quite the serious engagement, isn't it?
Ah, please take good care of our Sakura.
Take good care of her.
And please watch over Kentaro, too.
Please watch over him.
Please watch over us!
Please watch over us.
Thank you.
Kentaro... Sakura-chan...
Be happy forever!
We will!
Dat's great, ain't it!
Thank you very much.
Congratulations, Sakura!
This is great, isn't it Sumire?
