President, huh...
We are thinking of retiring after this term.
Adachi Takeshi-kun.
You will become the President.
Please take care of things.
Ah... because I had to give up on our love
Ahh akirameta koi dakara
I want to see you, see you even more
Naosara ai tai ai tai
How long have you been there?
The entire time.
I've been watching you.
Starting today, I will be working hard with you in the President's office.
Let's please work together.
What on earth are we going to do with ourselves?
It's only been a week since we quit from work.
That's true but, I've never had this much free time...
Ah... in that case...
...do you want to start taking lessons at something?
Like ballroom dancing or such.
You want to do that, Norio-san?
Well... I don't have a reason for doing that.
I thought if Norio-san wanted to do that, then...
But I guess not, huh?
Really?

Good afternoon.
Sorry for coming every day.
Kimi-chan, here you go.
Thank you.
If I was you, I'd be doing the same.
Thank goodness.
Right, Ai-chan? Ah, shall we go to Letbe for a change of pace?
Sounds good. Sakura-chan, you come too. And bring Ai.
Ah... yes.
Then let's get ready.
Ai-chan... wanna go to Letbe?
Thank you for waiting.
Whaa... looks so good.
Your Russian meal set.
My work is fast disappearing.
Hello there.
Ah, welcome.
Ah... Ai-chan, you've grown so much, haven't you?
She has.
Ryoko-chan, you've become at home with an apron on, haven't you?
Really?
Must be nice doing that.
Is here okay?
Go ahead.
Ah, Akemi-san!
You've come, too?
This is... their dream.
It is, isn't it?
Here are your future dinner appointments.
Ah, thank you.
This many...?
You have made your greetings to them before...
...but I felt one more round would help them calm down.
Part of the job, huh...
Huh? Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
Who are you?
Whose child are you?
Koyuki! Koyuki!
Don't just go into places... I'm sorry.
No. What can we do for you?
Welcome.
Ah, Kentaro!
I've brought along a guest.
A guest?
Yes, here you go.
Thank you very much.
What's your name?
Koyuki.
Koyuki-chan, huh? You're cute.
Ah, Sakura, is Ai asleep?
Yeah. Fast asleep.
Really?
Um... sorry for coming out of the blue.
I came here long ago... Ah...
This...
Ah!
This...!
This is the one piece dress we displayed in our shop window long ago, isn't it?
You're right.
Could it be... it's you from that time?
My name is Miyuki.
Miyuki-chan...
Are you... interested in this dress?
Want to wear it for a bit?
Come in.
We're giving this one piece dress to you, Miyuki.
Eh?
We never intended to sell it...
...so all we ask is that you treasure it, Miyuki-chan.
I'll treasure it. I'll cherish it so much.
You treasured and cared for it, didn't you?
Yes. To me, it's my treasure.
When Koyuki here was born...
...I thought she could wear this one piece dress to her school entrance ceremony, too.
That makes us happy. That two generations will have worn it...
I wonder if this one piece dress isn't a bit too large for Koyuki-chan?
It is. I considered altering it myself, but...
I thought if possible, if those from that time... If all those from that time could do it...
...then she could get the same feelings I had felt back then...
After I had lost my parents and it was just me and my Grandpa, every day was lonely.
But there beyond the glass...
...I could see this one piece dress being displayed...
...and my heart would leap in excitement every time I saw it...
That it became mine... Just that alone made me so happy.
And it wasn't just happiness. To the lonely girl that I was...
...it gave me lots of self-confidence.
To me, it's a magic dress.
Thanks to all of you, I came to know the kindness of people.
I felt I could become a kind person, too.
I truly... thank you so very much.
Thank you.
And we thank you, too.
Well then, we'll alter this one piece dress so that it fits Koyuki-chan perfectly.
Thank you!
In that case, we'll need her measurements.
Yeah. Who's got a measuring tape?
Ah, I've brought one.
That's just like you, Kimi-chan.
We can do that right now.
Want to come to my house to do the altering?
Everyone at the factory has gone home by now.
Yeah.
Ah... in that case...
Thank you. Well then, let's take your measurements.
Turn around.
First off, shoulder length... 35 cm.
Really?
I thought it was incredible.
After all, that single one piece dress brought someone so much joy...
...and happiness.
I'm sure that one piece dress both encouraged her...
...and helped her out, didn't it?
Yeah.
"Courage." "Love." "Trust." "Hope."
Those are the feelings they put into the Kiaris clover...
That's it. That's what those mothers have done.
That's right. You're proud of your mothers, aren't you?
Yeah.
We really are, aren't we?
Yeah. Here, Ai-chan. Open wide...
Does it taste good?
All done.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And then a few days later, the day of Koyuki-chan's school entrance ceremony had come.
It fits perfectly...
You're so cute in it.
You look good in it.
Let's tie your hair, okay?
Yeah.
In that case, sit here.
Thank you very much.
When it was the day for my school entrance ceremony, I had my hair tied here, too.
I was so happy. For me it was...
Since my Mom was gone.
Don't worry. I'm here.
Thank you.
I wonder if you couldn't do it with the three of us?
When I met Sumire, I thought it would be a good chance to change myself.
Guess I'll have to.
I'll help out.
Thank you.
It's great you have such great weather for it, isn't it Koyuki-chan?
Yeah!
Truly, thank you so very much.
Get going.
Have a nice time.
Take care.
Have a good day.
I'm off!
Kiyuki-chan, congratulations on entering school.
That one piece dress looks really good on you.
