I have no intention of apologizing.

Yahagi-san.

Do as you please, as long as you don't hand me over to the police.

That's why you called me, right?

Take this.

What is it?

Your severence pay.

Severance pay?

I wanted you to consult with me properly when you wanted to be independent.

I'm reflecting on it too.

I said you lacked morality as an owner.

I wanted to apologize for that as well.

Apologize?

I myself have open many stores many times and failed many times.

I can only think about protecting my store

I've done things against my conscience regarding money.

Sometimes I became suicidal.

But I was able to hold on without crossing the final line

Because I thought about my deceased parents and my sister who was important to me.

You can do it all over again for the sake of someone you care about.

I'm done with my wife.

Kayo doesn't think so.

Did you meet my wife?

Please come in.

Kayo…. I'm so glad...

Why….

Let's start over again.

Do your best for me.

for yourself.

Don't just leave things like this on your own.

I know best how much you love to cook.

Please become a chef again.

Owner. I'm so sorry!

You are still young. You can start all over again.

Thank you.

Long time no see! Chef...

Let's eat first. This is Nobuko's Okinawa soba.

I helped too.

Soba in Okinawa?

Yes.

Let's eat.

It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It was So-so…. Dear...

The bonito and pork broth is not bad, but the noodles should be a little thinner.

If it's me, I'll use noodles 1mm, no, 2mm.

I wonder if it's a little better than when I first ate it a long time ago.

You remembered the taste of that time.

Recollection) It is soba from Okinawa.

Okinawa? This is her dish...

Delicious!

At that time, the first person who said it was delicious was

It was Mr. Yahagi.

Yahagi-san. For me to run the shop

I need a chef whom I can entrust the taste of the restaurant.

Mr. Yahagi is a person who likes cooking and can face it straight.

I need Yahagi's power.

Please work together with me

I am….

But now...

Mr. Yahagi.

Please show me your kitchen knife.

You always carry it with you.

I despise you, too, Chef.

You are not a bad person

Everybody knows including the owner.

But you..

As a chef, you made a mistake and lost people's trust.

As long as you continue to be a chef, that's a heavy burden to bear.

You have to carry it all the time.

Are you ready for that?

If you have that resolve

I'm sure someday you'll be able to regain that lost trust.
