Everyone, Hashizou is going to keep coming to kindergarten after all.
Please continue to make him feel welcome from now on, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
I'm so glad.
Humph. So he's back, huh?
Please take good care of me!
Hashizou seems really happy, doesn't he?
Yeah.
I was a little worried that..
..he would be feeling down because of what happened with his mother, but...
My fears have been put to rest, too.
You said it.
Don't you have to go help set up the restaurant, Yakko?
Thanks for coming along today.
Oh, it's my pleasure.
Daddy is especially peppy at this time of day.
No matter how much he may grumble.
Grumble?
Mm-hm. "That Yakko should be back by now!"
"She's always wasting time hanging around that wild-haired punk, for cryin' out loud!"
She doesn't have any consideration for my feelings. What a troublesome daughter she is.
Right?
I think you nailed it.
From now on, whenever I'm busy with something, I'd like you, Yakko..
..to take care of Hashizou.
Of course. You can count on me.
I'll do my best to fill in for his mother.
Fill in for his mother, huh?
Then maybe you wouldn't be averse to being the mother of my children someday?
E.. eh?
Yakko.
Eh?
Huh?
Hey, Sir Farts-a-lot. Are you jealous?
Come on now, Juliano. Let me carry you home.
Come on, boy. Let's all go home together.
Huh?
There ya go.
Humph. And here I thought he hated girls.
Oh, now I get it.
Yakko's an exception to the rule.
Well then...
C'mon, Juliano. Let's go home.
Why that little..! He's trying to make me jealous!
Hey you! Why do you always talk like a girl, huh?
I do not talk like a girl!
See what I mean?
"I do not." You definitely sound like a girl!
Using "don't" or "dun" is much more manly, right?
Hey, what's the big idea, fatso Gonta?
Hashizou is much more dignified than that. He's not rude and crude like you!
Shaddup!
Listen up, Hashizou.
Having a girly boy like you for a little brother..
..must be tough on your big brother.
Huh? What do you mean?
He's probably worried that he can't get married with you being like that.
Nyah-nyah! You're such a girly boy!
He's probably worried that he can't get married!
Is that true? Are Gou and Yakko worried that they..
..can't get married because I'm not manly enough?
All righty then!
Gonta!
Whaddaya want?
Teach me how to be a man.
Huh?
Teach me how to be a man! Right now!
Okay, you got it!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the meal.
Come again soon!
Whew.. finally, a moment to catch our breath.
Mm-hm. Huh?
It's past one in the afternoon already.
You're right. Hashizou's late, isn't he?
Huh?
Welcome!
'Sup.
Ah!
Ahem.
Huh?
Wha..?
Hey there, old man.
Yakko.
Wh.. what the heck's going on, Hashizou?
What's wrong?
Humph.
That's my seat.
Move it.
Gou.. I mean...
So my big bro's not here yet, huh?
Hey, do you think something happened at kindergarten?
Oh.. er.. I know!
You're practicing for some sort of Christmas play, aren't you?
That's.. not it!
Wrong-o.
You don' un'nerstand nuthin'.
He just spit? Brr.. this is givin' me the creeps.
Good afternoon.
Ah!
Huh? Hashizou!
Hey, how's it hangin', bro?
Eh? Er...
You're late. I've been waitin' for ya.
Quit screwing around!
Ah.. no! Don't do that!
So he's just copying his big brother's weird mannerisms.
Right, Hashizou?
Actually.. the truth is...
Don't I look manly to you, old man?
Huh? Um...
"Manly" he says...
I can take care of myself now, big bro.
What did you say?
So get your rear in gear and marry Yakko, 'kay?
Ma.. marry?!
Oh.. my.. Hashizou!
By the way, Yakko.
Be sure to watch out for cars and young men.
Because he'll be keepin' an eye on ya.
Oh boy, just listen to him.
He's the one she should watch out for the most, isn't he?
Ah!
Hashizou..!
I'll teach you to make fun of me!
Ah, hold on!
Don't hit him!
You didn't mean it, did you? Now come on up to my room with me.
Hashizou. If you think that I'm gonna just stand by and listen to you be so rude..
..you've got another thing coming!
We already know!
What in the world happened, Hashizou?
What made you dress up like that?
Well.. to tell you the truth...
I really wish you would hurry up and become Gou's bride.
Eh?
What brought that on?
I didn't want Gou to worry that I'm not manly enough.
Really?
Now I understand.
Isn't that the reason?
I appreciate the thought.
But the truth is...
It's not your fault at all..
..that we haven't gotten married yet.
Eh?
As it is, Daddy would never give his consent.
So it's because of the old man?
Mm-hm.
I wouldn't be able to stand up to him, either.
I just don't know how long we'll have to wait until Daddy's willing to accept it.
And anyway, Yakko's still in high school. She's far too young to even consider such a thing.
At least you already have a career. All righty then, order's up!
I've whipped up a pork omelet for you, Jules.
Huh?
That's funny. I thought he was right here.
Oh there you are.
For such a lazy cat, you certainly move fast when a pork omelet is involved.
Come on, Hashizou.
Oh, you okay, Hashizou?
You must be starving, right, Hashizou?
Yeah.
Geez, what's gotten into you today, Hashizou?
Oh, that's okay.
C'mon over here. I'll make you something right away.
Okay!
By the way, I've already scolded your brother..
..for what he said, so don't worry about a thing.
Eh?
If the old man is mad at Gou..
..he'll be even less likely to let Gou and Yakko get married.
What a mess.
What's wrong, Hashizou?
Eh?
You look like you've got a lot on your mind.
Don't pay any attention to the nasty things Gonta said yesterday.
That's not it.
Then what is it?
Well.. I just thought that it would..
..be better if Yakko becomes Gou's bride before he gets even busier.
That's right! I agree.
Mmm.. but...
How am I supposed to make the old man understand?
Now that you mention it, my big sister and big brother Sammy are in a similar situation.
Is there any way we can fix this?
Ooo.. I don't know which couple is moving..
..more slowly, or is more wishy-washy!
Ah-ha! That's it!
Eh?
I've got a great idea!
Huh?
Mm-hm. Wouldn't it be fun to help them out?
I know we could pull it off splendidly.
Eh?
What if.. you and I, Hashizou..?
Eh?! We can't!
Why not? It's not any less silly..
..than trying to act like Gonta.
Yeah, but.. it's a lie!
That's okay.
It'll eventually be the truth.
Or at least, it absolutely will be once I'm done with my big sister and big brother Sammy!
Well.. I guess...
All right, I'm in!

Master Framer
Okay, Juliano. No matter what weird things I might say, don't react at all. Got it?
Master Framer
Good afternoon, Mr. Tsune!
Ah, is that you, Hashizou?
Is this your place, Mr. Tsune?
Why yes, it is.
Tsune
Master Framer
What kind of shop is this?
Huh? As you can see, I'm a framer.
What's that?
Someone who fixes and paints frames.
That sounds like fun!
So what brings you here out of the blue?
Looking to be my apprentice?
Gou and Yakko are getting married!
You shouldn't just blurt things out like that and scare me half to death, but.. really?
It's true!
Really and truly!
That's enough.
Big Bear Tatami Shop
Excuse me.
Ah, I'd know that voice anywhere.
I'm here to collect your taxes.
You look pretty busy, Mr. Kuma.
Yup, I'm working hard.
Hey, do you know how to make tea?
Sure I do! I make it at home all the time.
Ah, I shouldn't have expected anything less, Hashizou.
Nowadays even kids know how.
I'll take a modern-style mattress.
Man, I'll never understand those who prefer mattresses over traditional tatami mats.
Gou and Yakko...
Are getting married!
What's wrong?
You changing the subject so suddenly is what's wrong.
Did you hear, Mr. Kuma?
Yeah, I heard. They're getting married.
But how can they without Mr. Shige's permission?
He's a super, ultra pig-headed father, after all!
Let's go see the look on his face!
Yeah, let's go!
And just how am I supposed to look? I look the same as I do every day!
Quit playing dumb.
Huh?
I can't believe you're just gonna stand by and let it happen.
You're looking way too happy.
What the heck are you going on about?
Don't act like you don't know. When's the ceremony?
Ceremony? What ceremony?
So he's still denying it!
Why Yakko's, of course!
Yakko's?
That's right.
She's finally marrying Mr. Katou, isn't she?
EH?!
Whoa...
Hey, Mr. Tsune.
Say that again, I dare you!
Hey now, put that thing away! It's dangerous!
Oh this? It's just a kitchen knife.
Whew.. you nearly gave me a heart attack.
Yakko is marrying that wild-haired punk, you say?
Th.. that's what I heard.
You're choking me.
That's what I heard, too.
From who?
Ha.. Hashizou.
Huh? Hashizou?
That's right.
We know what we heard.
Hah, bullcrap! Hashizou would never say anything like that.
I'm telling you, he did!
Shut your trap! Don't jinx things!
Now get outta here before I purify you with salt!
What was that all about?
So you've finally come home, have you?
Eh?
Yakko! You and Mr. Katou.. no!
That wild-haired punk really pulled the wool over my eyes! You both will pay dearly for that!
Actually, it's pretty sweet, Daddy.
Wh.. what?! So.. it's..?
The two of you are..?
So when were you planning on telling me?
Whatever you're talking about.. I wasn't referring to that.
Eh? Then what're you talking about? I was throwing some purifying salt...
Ah! This is..!
Oops, I grabbed the wrong one.
Oh, Daddy. So what happened to cause such a fuss?
Those clowns said that you and the wild-haired punk are getting married!
But Hashizou said it...
Scram!
Huh? Hashizou said such a thing?
That's right.
Don't tell me you..?
Oh gimme a break. He's just a kindergartener, after all.
Hah! That's right, isn't it?
Got that, you two?
So I would ask that you stop spreading such rumors about my underage daughter.
Eh?
Yakko is far too young to even be considering marriage.
I would have thought you knew that, for cryin' out loud.
Aw man, at this rate, no one will ever ask me to marry them..
..anyway, thanks to my spoiled brat of a Daddy.
What was that?
Nyah-nyah.
She's got a point!
Pig-headed fathers cause so much trouble!
Why you..! Some salt in your face is the least you deserve, you morons!
I'm still far too young, huh?
But Isuzu has already gotten married.
Well, I told them what you said I should, but...
How about you, Kaoru?
Well, I...
I came up with an even better idea!
I'm gonna tell a reporter from the Weekly News.
Eh? Mm-hm. That's awesome!
What did you say? Miss Maeko and I are engaged?
Yeah. I heard it straight from Miss Maeko's younger sister.
Eh? How do you know Kaoru?
I've met her two or three times while interviewing her father at their house.
I see.
Oh, now I get it.
Kaoru thinks that her sister and I make a perfect couple, doesn't she?
I see. So, do you think you're perfect for each other?
Are you in love?
Eh? Er, no, not at the present time.
Though I do think she makes a great girlfriend.
I'm focused on my career right now.
Then do you plan to get married at all?
You want the truth?
It would just be a bother.
Satomi. It's time to go.
Okay. See ya.
Huh?
Is he serious?
Hey, did you really mean what you said?
Yeah, and now hopefully they'll drop it.
I guess that makes sense.
So are you going to call the other half just in case?
Miss Kajiwara Maeko.
Got that? You are going to apologize to big brother Sammy.
But...
I'm really pissed off at you.
I'm sorry.
I wonder why she's so mad at me.
I've already heard Mr. Satomi's side of things, why not give me yours?
No way! Even I can tell you're head over heels for him!
What is it, Mrs. Oume?
Er, Milady Maeko is here.
She is?
What is she doing here at this hour?
Hurry up! Quit dawdling!
You're hurting me, big sister!
Huh?
Now.
Oh, it's you, Kaoru.
Big brother Sammy...
I'm sorry.
Eh?
I am sure you can guess what this is about.
Ah, what happened with that reporter from the Weekly News.
Don't worry. It's okay!
I only did it because I want you and big sister Maeko to get married, big brother Sammy.
Don't say such foolish things!
It's the furthest thing from Mr. Satomi's mind.
But why?
Because!
His rock 'n roll career is much more important to him than I am.
Miss Maeko.
Is that true, big brother Sammy?
Are you really never going to make big sister Maeko your bride?
Eh?
Are you, big brother Sammy?
Hmm.. oh well.
You precocious little cupid, you.
These Cattleya Orchids are lovely, aren't they? They're absolutely beautiful.
You are even more beautiful.
Liar.
It's true.
Which is why I thought I wasn't worthy of picking such a precious blossom.
That's what makes me a "good girlfriend"?
That's.. just what I said to the reporter!
That's enough.
Constantly chasing after someone..
..who doesn't appreciate me... I'm sick and tired of it!
Miss Maeko!
I'm sorry it took me so long to come around.
Would you please marry me?
Mr. Satomi...
I did it!
Game, set, and match!
It's not right to tell lies about people.
Apologize to Yakko and the old man right now!
Old man.. Yakko.. I'm sorry.
Ah, that's okay, Hashizou.
I should have known from the start that the idea of Yakko and Mr. Katou getting married was absolutely absurd.
Geez...
Don't worry about it. It was just a silly little lie.
Wasn't it?
Daddy is so stubborn!
But I just want Gou...
That's enough, Hashizou.
It's okay. I completely under- stand how you feel, Hashizou.
I'm so glad!
Anybody home?
Huh?
Satomi.
Welcome.
Hey, good afternoon.
I thought I might find you here.
What's the rush? Is something wrong?
Well, I just wanted you to be the first one to know.
And I think Yakko will want to hear this, too.
Well don't just stand there. Spit it out!
Actually, I...
Got engaged to Miss Maeko last night.
Eh?
You did it, Kaoru!
As I said...
I wanted you two to be the first to know.
So that's what this is all about!
Congratulations! That's great!
Congratulations, Mr. Satomi.
Thank you, Yakko.
That's all well and good, but I'm really mad at Gou and Yakko!
What are they waiting for, for pete's sake? It's really starting to get on my nerves!
Ah, congratulations! Well, that's..
..one more load off my mind. Mm-hm.
Huh?
That's right. Just one more little worry off my plate.
Huh?
Humph.
Now there's just one to go.
Humph.
And in celebration, we should all have a beer.
See you guys later!
See ya.
Farewell.
Come again soon!
I bet Miss Maeko is really happy.
Both Isuzu and Maeko...
I'm glad things worked out for them.
I truly envy them.
Kaoru's plan worked out perfectly on her end.
But it was a total failure on mine.
Hashizou.
Huh?
It's okay. For now, I'm more than happy just being your mother figure.
Ah! Okay.
Come on now, let's go.
Let's go make you a pork omelet!
I'm not giving up!
Next time...
Yakko and Gou will..!

Traveling for a nationwide concert tour is an incredible opportunity..
..that Mr. Gou absolutely cannot pass up.
But when I bring Hashizou and Juliano to Tokyo Station to see him..
..they fall down a staircase and are severely hurt!
What a predicament!
How am I supposed to get in touch with Mr. Gou from the hospital?
I rush back to the station in a daze.
Please wait, Mr. Gou!
