It concerns your opening a comprehensive branch store in Ginza.
Allow KADOSHO to provide you with all the funds you need.
We received an offer from KADOSHO to fund that.
But given what happened with Eisuke-san... Well, frankly, we're worried.
I'd like to hear each of your opinions about us opening a branch in Ginza.
If we give up on it now, that means giving it up for the rest of our lives...
Yeah. To sum things up...
...you could say we want the dream we imagined to come true...
I guess...
...we...
Excuse me...

I understand your feelings of wanting to do this. I also understand that it is your dream.
But... the bank says that it's just not possible.
It's unfortunate, but that means that Kiaris, as the company it is right now...
...doesn't have the stature to do that.
So to try making it come true using Kokado-san's power...
...is something I don't think is Kiaris-like.
Without overreaching ourselves and keeping our feet on the ground...
...isn't that what you said Kiaris is like?
Thank you for waiting.
Ah, hello, hello.
Sorry about this when you're so busy.
Ah, no, no, no.
Now, now, please have a seat.
About that financing you offered us...
Yeah.
We feel we want to turn it down.
Thank you very much for your kindness in this regard.
However, whatever kindness it may be...
...not moving forward under our own power...
...just isn't something that we want to do.
We have given up on our plans for a comprehensive branch store in Ginza.
Oh...
Are you really sure about this?
Japan was defeated. Now it's our turn to come back from that.
Because we lost, we'll spring back...
...and go on to win the world!
We can break through this time, can't we!
We... at Kiaris...
...don't feel we need to turn regrets about the past into a spring for us.
You're not like those young people who've never known war, right?
We lived through that era together, didn't we?
You haven't forgotten when Kobe was just a burned-out field...
...and there was nothing left, have you?
I do remember it.
I think my feelings of sadness then...
...did become the spring for me to grit my teeth...
...and desperately try to find a way of life so I could overcome the past.
But I...
...want to live looking forward.
With courage and love in my heart...
...and along with my trusted companions, I will go forward, towards hope.
I wanted to see my grandchild being born, to enjoy watching them grow...
...and to watch them in the decades beyond.
I feel in my heart that I want to watch over them forever.
But... that's not something I can do.
I was born... so someday I'll die.
Because that's the order of things...
I think... we planted a single seed of a tree... that we have called "Kiaris."
We want to see it at the moment it has grown big enough to blossom.
When you made us your offer, Kokado-san, our hearts leapt at the chance to see that dream come true.
But... what we were seeing wasn't the important thing.
What we realized once again was that what is important...
...was that we had to watch over that tree as it slowly grew before us...
...and have faith that the day would come when its flowers would burst into bloom.
That's why... we are sure.
Even if our dream...
...won't come true for us right now.
Even though we started off at the same place...
...our ways of thinking and the paths we walked down...
...are totally different.
I am totally different from you guys!
But, in its own right...
...yours is a wonderful way of life.
Thank you very much.
There isn't anyone who is good at something right from the start.
It was the same for me.
It was, but I still got my feelings across.
Make it so it expresses the sorts of feelings you want to give the one you're making it for.
That... is the very most important thing.
Kiaris
This is place where I can be most like myself...
...and where both I and Sakura can see Sumire shining.
Let's watch over and grow this shop... forever.
I wondered if that might be the foundation for Kiaris.
Doing things for ourselves, like this...
...isn't that what Kiaris is?
We will be sure... to make the dream you all have come true.
Please watch over us as we do.
Good morning.
Ah, good morning.
'Morning.
Good morning.
What did you want to talk to us about?
What is it?
Somehow... Somehow or other...
I was wondering if it wasn't about time that I...
I was thinking the same thing.
Ah... you too, Akemi-san?
Me, too.
And me.
It's about time we moved on to our next life, right?
All of us are thinking the same, aren't we?
You mean... retire from Kiaris?
Right.
I see.
Truth is...
...I was thinking the same thing, too.
Ah... you too, Norio-san?
Yeah.
I wondered if I could go on with it forever, even just sticking close to the bottom...
Well, what I wondered most of all was whether I could ever even leave it.
Yeah.
A small part of us will want to still keep butting in...
...but the important thing is that we will have passed it on to them.
I think so, as well.
Yeah...
How many years has it been?
I wonder how many years it has been...
