(There's a criminal in your hotel.)
The letter says Tokisada-san acted violently.
If it is not dealt with strictly...
you'll be reported to the authorities.
The sender is unknown. Do you have any idea?
How would I know?
This is just a prank.
Haha... That's right.
It's written here, "Tokisada Deputy Manager".
I'm the Deputy Manager now. The sender got it wrong.
Just a prank like you said, right?
Of course. Well, I must go now.
Shit... shit...
Violence incident?
I read the accusation letter.
- Is it written he could be reported? - Yes.
If that happens, it'll be bad for the hotel.
That's why I'm discussing this with Chokichi Master and Naomi sis.
- Haha... sis? - If it's like this... Naomi...
Are you listening?
The other day, Tokisada-san acted roughly after drinking.
He was drinking alone in the bar and got drunk.
He can't hold his liquor but drinks too much whenever he is down.
- Is that so? - But...
did he really hit someone?
Master, sis, can I investigate this?
What?
I can't stop once I get interested.
What about the cleaning?
What actually happened with Tokisada-san?
I wonder what it is.
- Tanzawa Officer. - You scared me!
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
Tanzawa Officer, why are you here?
- That's how you address me? - Yes.
- Tanzawa Officer? - Yes.
It's about Tokisada-san.
Come here! Come here!
I saw Tokisada-san...
walked past while saying "Shit... shit...".
I wonder what happened.
Tokisada-san may be reported to the authorities.
- Because of a violence incident. - Violence?
- Not about money? - Money?
No, no, never mind... I see.
That's why they are inside.
Do you know anything about the incident?
No.
It happened the day before yesterday. What did Tokisada Chief do?
I don't know.
But he was sulking because he couldn't be the groom.
He invited me to drink but I refused.
I see.
This incident may be caused by his mental fragility.
Thank you for your cooperation.
You're welcome. Thanks for your trouble.
Police investigation?
Kozue-chan... that dress?
Just trying it on, after a long time.
What happened?
Can you pour me a glass?
No.
I've decided not to drink here anymore.
So, I won't let you drink too.
But you were drinking here until recently.
I'm stopping from today.
Then, secretly make a glass just for me.
I already said no.
Drinking this early is dangerous.
- Because you... - I know.
It's fine then.
Good.
Eguchi-san, I'm making mackerel sandwich for lunch.
That's why the refrigerator is full of mackerels.
Should've told me earlier. It's difficult to prepare.
I got them from the people at the fishing harbor.
Please.
What happened? You look troubled.
- Eguchi Sous Chef. - Yes.
I heard you got into a scuffle with Tokisada Chief some time ago.
Ah, yes.
You got angry because of me.
No. There were various reasons.
I heard Tokisada Chief is an aggressive person.
Well, yes. He's strong despite his age.
- He has a a previous offense. - What are you doing?
Tokisada Chief was involved in a violence incident.
What? Tokisada-san?
Yes. Well, I'm going to report my investigation results.
Investigation? No... wait.
What do you mean? Violence incident?
This is terrible.
I'm looking for Tokisada! Tokisada!
Sir, you are too loud.
Annoying! Get him quick!
So, you're here.
I came here as promised...
Tokisada Deputy Manager.
This is...
We have a problem!
Someone came to meet Tokisada Deputy Manager...
he's making a fuss in the lobby!
- Tokisada Deputy Manager? - Yes, he said so.
I tried to chase him away but he said he wanted a room... then flew into a rage.
This will affect the other guests.
I'll deal with it.
If he is Tokisada-san's acquaintance...
don't cause him any embarrassment.
Pierre-san, do we have any rooms available?
Let's...
provide him with the best hospitality!
That person has gone home?
Yes.
He just confirmed Tokisada-san was here...
then left after saying "Don't go anywhere".
What? Then it's a waste to gather everyone here.
No, he said he'll be back. He requested us to prepare a room.
- I see. - Is this...?
He was here to see whether Tokidasan-san...
- was properly punished. - On his head...
there was a wound. Seemed like he was a hit.
He is the victim. There's no mistake.
I saw him when he was walking out, he is...
president of the neighborhood council, Goto-san.
Is that so? Tokisada-san.
Yes.
Of all people.
He comes for lunch sometimes and complains about the food before going home.
I was once scolded by him mercilessly.
- He's a chronic complainer? - He's a regular guest but...
anyhow, he's stubborn.
He hates roundabout way of talking.
By the way, he has stopped coming lately.
Then, Tokisada-san got him to come again.
- Yeah, well. - What's that?
Thank you very much.
Everyone, let's work hard to make him a regular guest again.
- What happened? - No, that...
He seems to have a grudge against us.
What if he talks bad about us to other guests?
I think it's better to let him go home.
Is that so?
General Manager, what do you think?
I...
think if he comes as a hotel guest...
it's wrong to turn him down.
Tokisada-san, are you okay with that?
Will that be a problem?
Or do you have something to say?
Ah, yes, this is accommodation issue...
we have to ask the Chief of Accommodation Department.
My opinion?
I think...
we should let him stay.
Then, the person in charge of Goto-san...
will be Tokisada-san. Is that okay?
Yes.
I understand.
Well, everyone, thank you very much.
Thank you.
According to my investigation, Tokisada-san is completely guilty.
He should've refused contact with the victim.
That's right. At this rate...
the incident may be exposed in the hotel.
He might find faults in everything and...
expands his complaints against the whole hotel.
I see.
I read this before in a magazine.
The criminal contacts the victim on purpose.
What does that mean?
In short, keeping the other party within sight...
is the safest.
The victim has come with an accusation...
you don't know what he'll do outside the hotel.
In that case, it's better to have him nearby.
Then, conceal the incident.
So, Tokisada-san has this wicked plan.
Also, I can smell this incident getting bigger.
I can smell it too, Naomi sis.
What happened?
About Goto-sama.
I think it's right to let him stay here.
Hard to find such a guest.
But, is it really okay?
To let Tokisada-san be in charge.
What's the problem?
It's still not confirmed whether Goto-sama wrote that accusation letter.
But something clearly happened between them.
With Tokisada-san in charge of him...
I'm a bit worried.
Knowing about the guest is an advantage in providing service.
Due to that, Tokisada-san being in charge is ideal.
That person is certainly a fish vendor.
Ah, Goto-san.
He's not getting away. If he stays here...
- it's my chance for revenge! - What revenge?
He has been here many times...
but has never praised our cooking.
That's really frustrating.
Let's cook something that will make him smile, and say "delicious" while lying down on the floor.
Ok, calm down. It'd be troublesome if he did that.
But why did Tokisada-san...
agree to let Goto-san stay?
That's pretty clear.
To take revenge, together with me.
What do you mean?
The violence incident happened because...
they had a dispute, right?
If the other party accuses Tokisada-san...
as the person in charge, he can take revenge.
How can the person in charge take revenge?
Such as purposely making the pillow hard.
Then surprise him with room service at 2am, 3am, 4am!
I see... then what's the goal of doing that?
Tokisada Deputy Manager.
Goto-sama. We have been expecting you.
Is the room ready?
A total of 2 persons?
Yesterday was my daughter's birthday, so I brought her here.
You should've check this earlier.
- I am sorry. - Which room?
We have prepared Room 302 for you.
- Huh? That's not it. - Huh?
I want that room.
You know, right? It's most suitable for today.
No, that...
It's the loft room!
It's the room I've always used.
- Loft? - That room...
used to be available for guests...
- but it's locked now. - Stop fooling with me!
I came here for that room!
I am very sorry.
The loft has not been properly cleaned yet.
Please clean it up quickly.
Cleaning will take time...
if you don't mind, please have a look...
- at the room we have prepared for you. - Certainly.
We will prepare it immediately.
Do it quickly. I'll walk around for awhile.
Thank you very much.
Let me carry you luggage.
I'm fine!
I'll arrange for the room to be cleaned.
Okay.
Why did Tokisada-san and Goto-san have a dispute?
It'll be troublesome if that person reports the incident.
He even used to be a regular guest here.
After Gou-san fell ill, he didn't appear at the neighborhood council.
Did the timid Tokisada-san really hit someone?
Many things can happen when the blood is boiling.
Besides that...
alcohol.
He has been drinking a lot lately.
That's right.
Ah.
- What!? - No, sorry.
They're cleaning the room now.
Let me kill some time here.
Sorry about that.
Would you like something to drink?
Do you have sake?
I am sorry. We don't have that here.
What!?
This place is hopeless!
What is this?
It's not wet enough.
I'll get you a another one.
What do you want to drink?
Anything is fine.
Then, that one.
Oolong tea. Get me two.
Since we're waiting for the room...
I won't pay for this.
Please wait a moment.
Don't get angry.
- Did you say "Ah"? - Ah?
No, no.
I'll go get you a hot towel.
What is this?
This is difficult to clean.
This place was used as a guest room before?
Back then when business was good...
all rooms were occupied.
This room was specially prepared for guests who specifically requested for it.
The intentions of Goto-san and Tokisada-san...
- are very clear now. - What do you mean?
As expected, Goto-san intends to...
complain about the whole hotel.
He'll say he was hit by Tokisada-san and then invited to this hotel.
He'll make more complaints on top of the violence incident....
and the hotel that hired the violent person...
also caused him mental anguish...
then request for a big compensation.
What is Tokisada-san's intention?
- Simply to plea for forgiveness. - Plea?
Get close to Goto-san to bring him under control...
then try to make him drop his accusation.
It's the most shallow strategy.
I misjudged him.
Tokisada-san is just this shallow.
Wow! We have a room like this.
This feels like a secret base.
- It's exciting! - Ukai-san, why?
I heard this is urgent. So, I came to help.
I appreciate your help.
The General Manager didn't know this was used as a guest room before.
Oh! This is not bad!
Ukai-san, why are you so happy?
I don't like to say this but...
suddenly using this room is causing us problems.
We have to do this just because the guest requested...
he is surely picking a fight with us.
Is it? I think this is great though.
This gives us the chance to use this room again.
Chance?
Besides, Tokisada-san asked you to help here.
Let's follow the Chief's decision.
The guest is waiting. Let's do it!
No, that... Tokisada-san.
Master, sis, Ukai Deputy Manager has said it clearly.
- Let's start. - That's too obedient.
Tokisada-san has no place to go. He's been at the lobby a long time.
That Goto-san from the neighborhood council...
said to Tokisada-san he came here as promised, right?
He is here to make a complaint?
But, he purposely booked a room here.
This means if we mess up the service...
we may get included in the complaint against Tokisada-san.
Yes... come in.
Excuse me.
The cleaning of the loft room has finished.
I'll bring Goto-san to the room.
Okay. Thank you for telling me.
General Manager.
Maybe it's not right to ask but...
why did you let Goto-sama stay here.
This is just as what I said in the meeting.
It's wrong to turn away someone...
- who wants to stay. - But..
you saw it personally... that accusation letter.
Yes.
Was the letter sent by Goto-sama, like everyone said?
No, it's not necessarily him.
That... yes... it's likely Goto-sama sent the letter.
Is that so?
If so, it's better that Goto-sama...
No. We have accepted his booking.
Tokisada-san, I'm sorry but...
can I ask you one more time?
About what?
The violence incident did not happen, right?
Yes, I didn't do it.
I understand.
Well then, please continue to be in charge of Goto-san.
Since you did not cause the violence incident...
there's no reason any dispute will happen, right?
- Of course. - Then...
you only need to work hard...
so Goto-san can go home with a smile. Thank you.
- General Manager... actually.... - Yes?
No, nothing.
Well, excuse me.
- It hurts. - Tired.
He didn't even thank us.
That's true!
It's good to be in charge of the guest rooms.
There's no need to lift a finger. Just order others to do the work.
He has always been like that.
This time we did this unreasonable work because of him...
- he should at least thank us. - This makes me angry!
I hope he personally gets reported, and the hotel doesn't get dragged in.
Then maybe he will change his arrogant attitude.
Ah... sorry.
- Be careful. - Yes.
(Naomi) How about a rest? (Abe) Just let her practice.
Now, it's time to protect Inversao...
we need to be united!
Hattori-san, do you have any information about the violence incident?
No, I don't know about happenings outside the hotel.
What should I do?
He has to take the responsibility.
You suddenly said something serious, Otawara-san,
There's no other way.
Ah! Tokisada-san.
You heard our conversation?
No.
This is delicious!
- Thank you! - They're the leftovers...
from the mackerel sandwich for lunch.
It is Istanbul's specialty...
also available in French cuisine.
I didn't eat because I was too focused on cleaning the loft.
Just to fulfill Goto-san's unreasonable request?
Because it was a request from a hotel guest.
Was it okay? Those 2 didn't cause any problems?
No. Nothing happened.
The mackerel sandwich is good but...
I feel that person will still complain about it.
He might say "It's not good!".
- Is that so? - He has never said...
anything nice about our food.
I don't want to lose to that person!
It's not about winning or losing.
- But it could be difficult. - Why?
He's here to find faults because he had a dispute with Tokisada-san, right?
It'll be difficult to make him praise our food.
I'm the genius who will...
- make this happen. - Your famous saying.
It's going to be dinner time soon.
I've got to think about the menu. Ninja!!
Finally showing your individuality!!
Goto-sama is making a fuss in the lobby...
he wants to see you.
(Eguchi) It has started.
- Goto-sama, I am sorry. - I'm still waiting!
You couldn't do it at all!
Goto-sama, what is the problem?
Are you really asking that?
You said the cleaning has been completed, right?
But it hasn't been cleaned at all!
- Tokisada! - No, that...
It should have been cleaned.
But it hasn't been cleaned at all!
This is meaningless! What kind of hotel is this?
I am sorry. We will clean it...
- one more time. - Of course!
My daughter was disgusted and went outside!
It better be properly cleaned when I come back.
Are you okay? Tokisada-san.
I'm fine.
General Manager, can you gather everyone again?
Okay.
What? We cleaned it properly.
- Finding faults as expected. - Maybe it wasn't properly cleaned.
Goto-sama said it wasn't properly cleaned.
What? This is because of us?
You guys are the Cleaning Department!
Clean it properly one more time.
Pierre, put a bottle of wine in the room, as an apology.
Otawara, inform me immediately when Goto-sama is back.
I understand.
Everyone, I am sorry, but...
responding to a guest's request is our job.
Let us all do our best to...
- satisfy the guests. - I'm depending on you.
Don't fumble this again!
Tokisada-san, the way you speak...!
Hold on! This is pissing me off.
It's strange!
Goto-san has so many complaints...
- because he's against you. - What?
Everyone doesn't want to say...
but I'll say it. Because of your violence against Goto-san...
he's here to take action against you!
Everyone is helping you to get through this!
But look at your attitude.
- Chokichi-san, that's a misunderstanding. - Misunderstanding?
Just because Tokisada-san denied it?
He did it. This person!
There's even an accusation letter!
I don't want to be involved with this incident anymore.
- You can clean the room on your own! - What?
Since General Manager hired Ukai-san...
this hotel has changed little by little.
Besides, Tokisada-san keeps going against us.
Rather than going on like this...
we think you should take the responsibility.
Chokichi-san, this is too much.
I don't think that way!
Everyone too...
I understand.
I'll do it.
(Kozue) Hold on! Tokisada-san!
(Tanzawa) If you go away now...
- Be mature. - Shut up!
I don't need sympathy from any of you.
Tokisada-san,
What?
I didn't say anything wrong.
I haven't heard such a heavy sigh for long time.
Sorry.
I didn't expect it to end up like this.
What do you really think about this?
- About what? - Tokisada-san.
Did he really do it?
No, I don't think so.
Because I asked him and he denied it.
However, I wish he would explain it properly...
he's stubborn.
- Well, everything is fine then. - That's right.
- Huh? - Since you believe him...
he should be okay. I was afraid he could become desperate.
If he became desperate...
he probably wouldn't listen to us.
Take care of the other staff too.
It's already very clean!
That's right.
I helped in the cleaning too.
Ukai... Deputy Manager.
The guest was not satisfied...
so, I'm responsible too. Sorry.
Because of that, I came to help.
Well, where shall I start from?
Ple...
Plea...
What?
Pleas...
Plea... please!
Please tell me!
You know it, right? What Goto-san really wants.
You did not say it because you wanted to test me.
I want to satisfy Goto-sama.
Compared to all the guests we ever had...
I want to satisfy him the most. Please!
I don't know anything about that.
I don't know what Goto-sama wants.
Although you're idling all the time...
you always managed to see through everything.
Sorry. I really don't know.
I spend the days discussing...
how to do exciting things, with the General Manager.
Sorry, I was flustered and spoke unreasonably.
But, what does he really want by making us clean this room again?
What am I doing?
Why did I ask you... shit!
The most useless thing to do!
Rather, you actually know what he wants.
Goto-sama and you are acquaintances, right?
I think he's angry because you don't understand him.
Are there any hints in the conversations you had with him?
I don't think there's any.
The General Manager said this before.
The most important thing is "consideration".
If you want Goto-sama to be satisfied...
calm down and give it some serious consideration.
Consider?
That's what you're good at, right?
Consider the feelings of the guests.
Did you remember something?
- Ukai Deputy Manager! - Yes.
Can you help me with something?
Sure!
Yes... come in.
Chokichi-san.
Um...
What happened? Another problem?
Why are you smiling at the mackerels?
There are no more mackerel sandwiches left.
Tokisada-san needs your help to make something.
- Tokisada-san? - Yes.
This.
To remove the white stains completely...
use this type of sponge.
Why are you here?
I asked the General Manager....
for her opinion about you.
She said...
she believes you're innocent...
and wanted me to apologize.
If you're innocent... why didn't you explain?
Even if I explained it, no one would listen.
I still don't believe you.
But, just now, I...
said too much.
Sorry.
(Abe) Oh, I have one request.
Don't tell Naomi about this.
It's embarrassing.
Okay.
Welcome back, Goto-sama.
I'm late because I couldn't find her.
Just leave me alone!
My friends want to throw me a birthday party...
I want to be with them.
20th birthday is an important point in life.
Just listen to me, at least for today.
So...
preparation is really done?
- Yes. - Is that so?
I'm hungry.
Because I had to speak loudly.
The food has been brought to your room...
if you don't mind, you can have your meal there.
Not French course?
Well, he will show you the way.
This way please.
Please.
It's dark! Where's the switch?
Wait.
It's clean now.
What?
What's this?
Tokisada remembered.
What do you mean?
Previously, when we were drinking...
I told Tokisada.
20 years ago, at the neighborhood council...
I got to know Sakurai Gou-san, this hotel's General Manager at that time.
But the rooms were fully booked that day...
When I was ready to give up and go home...
Gou-san prepared this loft room for me.
At first everyone laughed.
But Gou-san...
said something nice can be seen from here...
and laughed back at us.
And then...
the moonlight came through the glass...
I was touched.
Then, under the moonlight...
everyone drank sake.
Right at that time...
your mother was pregnant.
When everyone else was asleep...
I...
looked at the moon and thought.
The child to be born soon...
whether a boy, or a girl...
would grow up to be as attractive as the moon...
I made that wish.
And decided on the name "Michiru".
From then on, my dream is...
when you become an adult...
under this moonlight...
we could drink sake together.
Michiru.
Just as I wished...
you grew up to be beautiful and wonderful.
Thank you!
Dad.
This fish looks good.
How is it?
Delicious!
Delicious, right?
- (Goto) This is great. - (Michiru) Delicious.
Another glass!
Good... good.
Very promising.
Dad.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Cheers!
"Mirin Sun-Dried Mackerel Pillow"
It's okay... Edagawa-san!
Thank you for the sake!
I've not gone to a sake brewery in a long time.
I was the one who purchased the sake cup.
- Oh. - Don't just say "oh".
I wonder if Goto-sama is happy?
Of course he's happy!
Due to my deduction, Goto-san fulfilled his dream.
But, such an important dream...
you shouldn't have forgotten about it.
It can't be helped! When I met him at that time...
I must've been drunk.
Certainly very drunk.
After thinking and considering...
I finally understood...
what Goto-sama meant when he said "most suitable for today".
And then!
If it weren't for me, we'd not know what he wanted.
You're too excited now.
Thanks for your hard work.
The French course and the side dishes for sake...
made my head spin.
They had 3 servings of salt-grilled mackerel.
They liked it very much.
That's great. Want some coffee?
It was good enough to make anyone smile, and say "delicious" while lying down on the floor.
They are not children!
But it's good you go to the fishing harbor every day.
You go there every day, after I scolded you, right?
Because of that, you can get good mackerels.
Huh? I don't go there every day.
Don't deny it.
Tokisada-san. Did you apologize?
Huh?
Because you hit Goto-san 8 times...
and were almost reported to the authorities.
- There's even a bandage on his forehead. - I didn't do it!
The story is getting out of control!
Goto-sama fell down on his own.
- Huh? - Both of you were drinking...
there was an argument that turned into a scuffle.
Then Goto-sama slipped and fell down...
and hit his head against the table.
- So, that was what happened? - Hold on, Ukai-san.
- Where did you hear that? - Huh?
Goto-sama told me.
He thought I was a guest in this hotel...
we became friends.
I asked about his wound and he told me.
He told you what we argued about?
He said this hotel had a good relationship with the neighborhood but...
now it's totally bad. He also made fun of this hotel.
You became angry at that moment...
and said this hotel is moving in the right direction now.
Wait wait wait!
What?
No, I was pretty drunk...
I didn't mean what I said.
But you told Goto-sama he'd surely be satisfied...
if he came here one time. You also told me...
of all the guests we ever had...
you'd want to satisfy him the most.
That man-to-man talk...
between us... why did you say it?
Hold on please!
Could it be? You didn't tell the truth because you didn't want anyone to know THAT?
It can't be helped.
Because you people treat me like an outcast...
everyone talks bad about me...
so I didn't want to say anything.
Accusation letter! Goto-sama sent that to us...
then the story got out of control!
I decided to deal with that on my own.
That! Everyone was misled because of that.
You tried to tell me something earlier...?
That.
Because you believed me immediately...
there was a moment, a short moment...
I thought I should tell you the truth.
Why didn't you say it?
Because of pride... pride!
Men's pride!
Therefore...
there was no violence incident! Everyone.
What?
You people!
Um...
Tokisada... Tokisada.
Tokisada-san, again...
I am sorry.
Sorry!
Um... that.
As you all know, I'm a tolerant person.
Okay, everything is fine.
But let me say one thing.
When you heard about the violence incident...
you didn't suspect me at all, right?
- Yes. - What?
- Sorry. - But didn't you...
address yourself as Deputy Manager?
- Huh? - Because Goto-san...
refers to you as Tokisada Deputy Manager.
That was just a joke.
Old excuse!
- It doesn't feel right to me. - You're annoying.
You should smile like that at the front desk. Idiot.
Goto-sama. Take care.
This hotel...
maybe it's just like you said.
It became good again. Certainly.
- Right? - Yes.
I will come again.
Thank you.
Goto-sama!
Then, that...
complaint...
- What? - Because the...
accusation letter that we received.
What do you mean? I don't know anything about that.
Huh?
What accusation?
The scuffle the other day...
I slipped and fell down on my own.
Anyway, I got some wonderful memories from this.
Thank you for that.｡
So long!
Goodbye.
Huh?
What does that mean?
(Tokisada Deputy Manager)
(Accusation)
I was too shaken up.
- Why didn't I notice it? - What happened?
This handwriting...
is my brother's handwriting.
