TORAKO

How about this item?

So cute!

- May I try it on? - Yes.

It's that old lady. You understand?

Somebody get him! My bag!

Let go of me!

I'll take him to the police.

I'm sure he's a serial purse snatcher.

Forgive me!

Wait a minute!

Hey, why did you do this?

I won't get mad, just tell me.

I might be able to help you.

CHILDREN'S HOME

HOSHIMI FOREST

I am truly sorry.

I'll give him a good scolding, so please don't go to the police...

Don't worry, I wasn't planning to.

Thank you very much.

Well then, I'll be on my way.

I'm sorry.

You know you can't take someone's stuff, right?

But why would he do that?

Maybe...

he wanted to save this institution.

What do you mean?

I looked into it and it turns out that the debt they've had for years has ballooned

and they're one step away from closing down.

Actually, I grew up

in an institution similar to this one a long time ago.

Is that so?

That's why I don't think of their problems.

I would like to help them somehow,

but the amount of money is too large.

Any idea how much is enough to keep it from going under?

30 million.

That much...

If only there was some unknown donor

or someone like Tiger Mask somewhere.

Hey, Teacher,

let me talk to my husband about it for now.

Are you sure?

If I ask him, I know for sure he will help me.

Honey...

- Can I talk to you for a bit? - What is it?

Dad, congratulations.

I saw it online, about the appointment as the new president.

No way! Really?

Mama, here.

Tougoku Bank Appoints Toshiaki Uehara as President First Female Vice President to be Appointed!

That's impressive, Dad.

To appoint a woman as vice president for the first time.

It's also a hot topic at FSA.

In these times when they are calling for women's promotion,

this is nothing to fuss about.

She's very beautiful, the Vice President.

I didn't choose her for her looks. She's quite excellent.

Oh, I'm sorry. So, Honey...

Kenichi, we're having an inauguration party next week.

Can you host it on behalf of the Uehara family?

Of course. It's your big day, Dad.

Maybe I'll ask Tsubaki to play a piece.

Well then, the Stradivarius you bought for me has been delivered,

so I might as well show it off. - Looking forward to it.

I believe the price was 30 million?

Yes, I'll let you hear it's authentic sound.

Dad, can I hang this painting at the party, too?

Oh, whose work is that?

He's an up-and-coming artist gaining lots of attention in New York right now.

And how much is that painting worth?

Luckily, I got it for 30 million.

Oh, what a coincidence. It's also 30 million.

Hey, Honey...

Will the value of it go up in the future?

- Of course. - Then that's pretty wonderful.

Then...

maybe I'll show off my new material at the party.

I call it "My Father is the Strongest Legend".

My father always has a poker face on.

Like, when I was about to be put in a hot bath...

- No need for you to be there. - What?

It's a tough time for you, so why not focus on studying for the exams?

But Honey, Mamoru is family, too.

Ah, it's okay, Mom.

I'm not good at formal stuff either.

- But... - Right.

I ordered about 10 bottles of 1986 Chateau Molei,

did it arrive? - Yes, right here.

It's from the year I joined the bank, and maybe

we could serve it to everyone at my party.

- Yes. - Must be expensive, right?

- How much is a bottle? - Not much.

Since it's 3 million. - That means

for 10 bottles, it would be 30 million.

Dear, actually, there's a children's home nearby that's in financial trouble right now,

and if they had 30 million, they could keep it from going under.

So what?

Would you be willing to help them out?

If it disappears,

these little children will be out on the street.

A charity work at this time would certainly

improve your image as the new president.

Please.

Okay. I'll have the Loan Department review it.

Thank you!

Mamoru, I'm coming in.

Okay...

You've changed too.

I can't believe you're still studying after Teacher Torako's class is over.

At this rate, you can aim for a B on the next practice exam.

Well, yeah.

What? Aren't you happy that your grades are up?

No, I'm happy. I'm even starting to enjoy studying.

Then what is it?

I'm thinking of moving out of this house and renting an apartment very soon.

Wait. What are you talking about?

Because when I became big in comedy, if I said,

"Actually, my family was rich!",

...I wouldn't be a legend, now would I?

Besides, I don't fit in this house,

and being with them just makes my shoulders stiff.

What are you rambling on about?

There's no guarantee at all that you'll be popular in comedy.

Of course, I won't bother you, Mom.

Actually, I've already started part-timing, and looking for an apartment.

I will never forgive you!

You have no idea how fortunate you are to live in this house!

What about you? You haven't looked happy at all since you came to this house.

What are you saying? I'm perfectly happy!

Are you though? No matter how nice you are to them,

my siblings are as cold as ever,

and even Dad doesn't follow up.

R--Right now, your Dad's party is a very big deal.

So, until then, you should stay put.

I will never forgive you if you do anything like that.

What's wrong with him? Suddenly saying weird things.

I'm done taking a bath.

Ah, Teacher, listen to this. Mamoru said....

He said he's moving out of this house and living on his own?

What? You know about it?

Yes, because I agreed.

Why would you do that?

That kid is still in high school.

They say you can't buy your way out of hardship at a young age,

and compared to the children in that institution, Mamoru's hardship is nothing.

That may be true, but...

More importantly, your husband...

will he really loan them 30 million?

Of course. You heard him earlier, didn't you, Teacher?

But didn't he just say he would consider it?

My husband may seem cold at first glance, but he is a caring man.

When his ex-wife passed away,

he immediately add me in the Uehara family registry

and recognized Mamoru so that he could live with us.

- How about a bet, then? - What?

Are people moved by love or by money?

They say that "love is everything,"

but then again, people are animals that don't do anything unless it benefits them.

Especially your husband who is a banker.

You say things like that because you don't know my husband.

I believe in him.

That he will definitely save that institution.

I see. I'm looking forward to it.

- Yes! Teacher, I have a question. - What is it?

Today at preschool,

we were talking about who we want to marry when we grow up,

and the number one pick was a rich person,

why is that?

And what did you answer, Chie-chan?

- Dad! - Why?

Because I love my dad!

But if you marry just for that,

you might regret it when you grow up.

What? Why?

What? You bought another plastic model?

Because the one I've always wanted was on an internet auction.

Do you even know our current financial situation?

Of course, I'll work hard,

and we'll support each other.

What're you talking so naively about?

- Next month, your allowance is down by 10k. - No, no, cut me some slack here!

You buy what you want, too!

This book costs 7,800 yen!

This is for work materials. It's a necessary expense.

If so, then my plastic models are a necessary expense, too!

I work for a company that makes toys.

Your salary will never increase, though.

There goes your brutal comment again.

Before we got married, you said you liked my innocence, that I'd never lose my childishness.

If I had a time machine, I would warn myself back then.

I'd tell her that if she marries with that naive thinking,

she'll have a hard time later on.

Seems like if you marry someone like your dad, you will struggle like your mom.

Okay. I'll marry a rich man too.

You switch over pretty quickly, Chie-chan

- Okay, thanks for the wait! - Thanks for the food!
