Yell (エール)

A month had gone by since Tomohiku started working at the trading company.

Yes.

How's it going? Are you getting the hang of it?

No. It never lets up. It's a hard struggle!

You'll get used to it.

More important than that, I hear good things about you. - Is that right? I'm glad.

There were a few candidates, I'm glad I chose you.

Why did you pick me?

Because it's embarassing to see an old classmate working in a ramen place.

I couldn't stand to see you made into a laughing stock. You should be grateful, my friend.

Here's your large serving, thank you for waiting. - Thanks for the meal.

Thanks for your custom. - Thanks for the meal. Thanks for your custom.

Welcome. - Ramen. Certainly.

I'll get it right away.

Oi, it's been a while!

I brought chocolate.

Are you sulking?

What's wrong?

He should be fine with 2 or 3 days rest.

Thank you.

I bought the things you asked for. - Ah.

Who's the kid?

My...

...friend.

Who are you?

Here you go.

Your cooking is great.

I couldn't leave him by himself, so I brought him here.

Is he asleep?

Yeah. He just said "the futon's warm" and he was out.

I see.

Would you like a drink?

Oh... this is unusual.

I didn't know you can handle your drink.

What's wrong?

Nothing, I'm fine.

Please. Let's have a proper talk today.

Matsukawa, the guy who invited me to the company, said something.

"It's embarassing to see an old classmate working at a ramen place"

When he said that, I had a surge of incredible rage.

I used to look down on it too.

Do you want to go back to ramen?

I don't know. Why do I feel like this?

A long time ago, when Yuchi-san didn't know what to do

you said that a soldier gives his life to fight for people.

Your pride is not in being a soldier.

Your pride is in using your life to help people.

I believe that. I've followed you.

Whether it's a trading company or a ramen shop makes no difference to me.

I want you to have the choice to live that way.

Gin...

Thank you.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Why? If you're unhappy please tell me.

That ramen shop is great.

I'm deeply sorry! Please hire me again!

This is all I have!

Oi.

Lose the fancy clothes.

Right.

Welcome. - Welcome.

What would you like to order?

Tie it tighter. - Right.

That's it.

The wrist. - Right. Yeah.

Don't get careless when I'm gone.

After that, Amano opened a store in Yoyogi,

and Tomohiku took over the ramen stand.

It's up to you now.

Yes!

I'll make it prosper!

Can I order?
