Let's get married.
I want us both to be the parents of our child
Please take care of me.
﻿So... how many months is it now?
﻿Honestly, I'm disappointed in you.
﻿She loves her job.
I don't think it was her intention to get married or have a baby.
But,
she has made her choice.
﻿I'll protect her for the rest of my life.
Please take care of Natsuki.
Nambu-chan, this is the material you've been missing......
It's been a while.
Seto-san.
I'm the one who put my hand up to be in charge of AVRIL.
﻿I wanted to work with Natsuki.
I wanted to meet you.
Eyelashes.
Thanks.
﻿Please, come in.
This way, please.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for your hard work.
Good work.
Design and functionality is important in terms of children's clothing.
I'm sure they'll soon outgrow their size.
For everyday wear.
﻿I think the reality is that fast fashion is good enough for everyday wear.
But if I wanted to, I would want something extra.
﻿That's why we propose gift items.
Our market research shows,
if you want to buy a gift that is more than a certain amount of money,
we have data that shows that most of the items above a certain amount are purchased as gifts.
﻿It is true that the market is shrinking due to the declining birthrate.
﻿But on the other hand, data shows that the ratio of spending per child is increasing.
﻿This is because baby boomer grandparents and unmarried aunts and uncles
are spending more on their grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
﻿I agree with the approach of reaching out to seniors to expand the purchasing base.
﻿If you only stick to the existing target market,
you may miss out on new business opportunities.
I agree with you.
That's why I'd like to see a product that has a new target audience in mind.
﻿It is our hope that we will be able to offer products that will attract new customers.
﻿The new brand launch is only three months away: ......
﻿What do you think? Director Kijima.
I'll make it happen.
I'm counting on you.
Please take care of us.
Let's go.
﻿I want a plan by the day after tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am.
Kijima-san.
﻿Thank you for the other day.
﻿I didn't expect you to be here.
﻿Nice to meet you. I'm Mimura.
Nice to meet you.
It's part of the job.
So, Seto-san,
﻿I heard he became in charge of Avril in order to meet you.
﻿Natsuki......, I bet you haven't told him you got married.
﻿No, I'm not hiding it from him.
It's just not the right time.
﻿Besides, you know a pregnant woman when you see one.
﻿I'm not so sure about that.
﻿And the name on your badge is still Matsuura.
Take this seriously.
I know.
﻿You're going to be a mom soon, you know.
I wanted to meet you.
Going to be a mom
Buddy?
I'm Mimura.
Yes...
Ex-boyfriend?
﻿Thank you very much
Mimura Motoya Natsuki
Good
First things first.
This is the one.
I'm home.
Welcome home, Na-chan.
What's this?
﻿No, I couldn't get rid of it.
You bought all this stuff?
﻿I couldn't stop buying.
﻿You've got a lot of baby stuff.
﻿I'm here to give you a gift from my relatives.
﻿Thank you for coming all the way.
﻿If you'd told me, I would've gone to your place.
And...
Here.
How cute!
﻿These are clothes Motoya wore when he was little.
You kept it all this time?
﻿It was a gift from my grandmother.
﻿I couldn't throw it away after all.
﻿Natsuki-chan... will you accept it?
﻿Thank you very much.
Oh!?
﻿I see you changed this.
﻿Please call me Mimura from now on.
﻿Mimura sounds nice.
It's nice isn't it?
﻿These are baby clothes from 30 years ago.
﻿It's 30 years old?
﻿My mother-in-law couldn't throw it away, so she kept it.
At the meeting earlier,
it was mentioned that baby clothes are a popular gift item.
﻿I thought that baby clothes can also be a memento.
﻿That's why I came up with this project.
That looks good.
﻿What exactly are you going to make?
I am still working on the details.
﻿Don't take up too much time with an idea.
Next.
Okay.
Natsuki.
Seto-san.
﻿I was meeting with Obayashi-san about the contract.
﻿Could that be the proposal?
﻿I kind of got the image you were talking about.
Let me see.
﻿There's a gift show we're hosting this weekend.
A gift show.
﻿An exhibition of all the products we import.
﻿There'll be miscellaneous goods and clothing, so it might be useful.
What do you think?
I'd like to go.
I'll arrange it for you.
﻿If you don't make something good, I'll be in trouble.
What time should we go?
You have to take this seriously.
﻿You're going to be a mom soon, you know.
Uhm, Seto-san.
I got married.
I'm now Mimura.
We're having a baby.
I see.
﻿So you're the right person for the baby department.
Well.
That's even more promising.
Natsuki.
Congratulations.
Take care of yourself.
Seto-san.
I have to go.
Thank you.
I'll see you Saturday.
He just kicked.
I'm hungry.
﻿Okay, okay, it's almost ready.
Itadakimasu
Delicious.
Hey, Na-chan.
﻿What are you going to do about maternity leave?
I haven't thought about it yet.
﻿No, you have to think about it.
﻿You said your stomach was upset at the checkup the other day.
﻿You need to slow down your work.
﻿You need to be more aware of being pregnant. ......
That's right.
﻿I heard that there's a parents' class organized by the ward on Saturday.
Parents' class
﻿They're going to teach us how to bathe a baby and stuff.
﻿I'm taking the afternoon off, do you want to go with me?
﻿Sorry, I have to work Saturday.
﻿I'm supposed to go to the exhibition.
I see.
﻿Well, I'll go alone then.
Sorry.
Seto.
Let's go.
Welcome.
Hello.
Welcome.
﻿I really liked the facial toner you recommended other day.
﻿So I thought I'd give one to my friend for her birthday.
﻿Thank you very much.
By the way,
Na-chan seems to be having a hard time at work.
﻿I'm just checking to make sure she's not straining yourself.
Natsuki is so lucky to have such a kind husband.
﻿Her ex-boyfriend's return won't sway her like this.
What?
﻿Is it possible that the trading company guy who went to America has returned?
Well...
﻿It seems they just happened to be working together.
Together?
﻿This... this... this...
This is it, right?
﻿That's it. This one.
There's a new one!
Here you go.
Thank you.
Lovely.
﻿This one's based on the world of a picture book.
Now lift it up.
Okay.
﻿Please soak the baby slowly in hot water while talking to him or her.
﻿Starting at the feet, slowly.
That's right.
When you feel the baby is stable, remove your right hand.
﻿Pour hot water over the baby.
You're good.
﻿Put him in from the feet first.
From the feet first.
Talk to her as you do it.
From the feet first.
Sorry, it's going to take a while.
I don't want supper.
Sorry.
﻿Please pour hot water on her.
Toko.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
It's okay.
Let's go.
﻿How was it? The exhibition.
﻿I didn't know there were so many different kinds of gifts.
﻿I never thought of it myself.
﻿But when I imagined receiving it as a gift...
﻿I thought it might be nice.
I think I can do something.
You can do it, Natsuki.
Thank you.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
Motoya?
Welcome home, Na-chan.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
﻿This time, I'd like to propose baby clothes specially made for gift giving.
﻿Baby clothes can only be worn for a short time before the child grows up.
﻿But when memories are added to them.
﻿I thought that adding memories to the clothes would make them special.
﻿So here is what I would like to propose.
﻿This is a picture book world motif
﻿by a popular artist.
﻿We will collaborate with this artist to create a picture book.
﻿By giving the book and the clothes together
﻿It will be a very special gift!
﻿The baby clothes can be placed in the pocket on the back cover of the book and can be given as a gift.
And when the child has out grown the clothes,
it can be kept in the pocket on the back cover of the book again.
﻿The last page of the book can be used as a backing for an album.
﻿On the last page of the book, you can put a picture of your child wearing this dress.
That's it from me.
﻿By focusing on gift items,
we've succeeded in expanding the purchasing power of our products.
﻿However, since each item is very elaborate,
we can't do mass production.
﻿It depends on the contents of the picture book.
﻿We don't want our products to end up as a temporary boom.
I see.
As for that...
﻿I'd like to add a few words.
﻿The added value we're looking for in this product is
Story.
Story?
﻿How desired the child was when he or she was born.
﻿How much the child has been loved and nurtured.
﻿If we can preserve that story along with
the thoughts of the person giving this product,
for the child,
it will be an irreplaceable gift.
And even after that,
we're aiming for a long selling product that will be passed down from generation to generation.
﻿I think that's wonderful.
﻿I think it's wonderful that you've immediately added it to the lineup for the new brand launch.
﻿Thank you very much.
Seto-san.
Thanks for your hard work.
Good job.
﻿Kijima-san and Natsuki make good buddies.
Buddies?
﻿Then, please continue, we're counting on you.
﻿Thank you very much.
Hey.
Got a minute?
Yes.
Thanks for your hard work.
﻿Thank you... for the additional things you said.
﻿It's a bad habit to think too much.
Thinking too much about yourself and not enough about others.
If you can't convince the person in front of you,
you'll never reach the customer.
﻿It's important to understand what the other person wants,
to know what is most important to them.
﻿If you just impose, you'll only end up satisfying yourself.
About the other day,
I was disappointed not because of your marriage and pregnancy.
﻿it was because you didn't report it.
You have been pushing yourself to work overtime and wearing heels to work,
to the point until you collapsed.
﻿I'm saying you're an idiot.
﻿If you continue to push yourself like that...
You'll never work for me again.
Got it?
Kijima-san.
﻿I'd like to talk to you about something.
I've applied for maternity leave.
Na-chan.
﻿I have somewhere to go tomorrow.
Application for maternity leave.
Na-chan wants to show it to her mom.
I'm sorry.
It's so lovely.
﻿It's thanks to you, mom.
﻿For a long time, even if he wanted to buy something...
he would never say he wanted it.
﻿But he'd come home and cry, saying he really wanted it.
﻿That's why I never dreamed he'd marry the woman he loved
﻿Thank you... for being with Motoya...
I'm the one who should be thanking him.
﻿For letting me work as I please and for listening to my selfishness
You're not being selfish.
That's fine.
﻿Keep working.
I want you to do well.
Thank you very much.
You too.
Otsuki-san is beautiful.
Na-chan.
I wonder if it's listening.
It's listening.
﻿I hope you're born healthy.
﻿I want you to come out as painlessly as possible.
I'll be waiting.
Thanks for the maternity leave, Na-chan.
﻿Kijima-san told me I can start working shorter hours next week.
Are you sure?
Are you sure you'll be okay?
Yeah.
Work is important, but...
﻿But my biggest mission right now...
﻿I have to make sure this baby is born safely.
Na-chan.
Once in a while,
let's take a walk like this.
Right?
﻿I was talking to you, not the baby.
Sorry.
That's enough.
I'll do it. I promise.
It kicked!
Where?
Here, here
You feel it?
It's so frustrating.
I hope he kicks again.
There it is!
No way! Wait!
Here, here, here
Really.
Can you feel?
I really do.
Amazing.
I'm so moved.
Right?
﻿Today is the unveiling of Avril's new baby department.
﻿Here are the brand's original baby items.
﻿This is a set of picture books and clothes.
Additionally, it also has an album function.
﻿Actually, this product doesn't have a name yet.
﻿So we would like to ask the public for a name for this product.
﻿Please feel free to apply!
Here it is!
Thank you for waiting.
﻿Thank you very much.
Welcome.
Good work.
Thanks for your hard work.
﻿Um, Seto-san, I'll be taking some time off starting tomorrow.
﻿I apologize for the inconvenience, but I look forward to working with you again.
I see. Maternity leave.
Yes.
﻿I see. Natsuki is becoming a mom.
Yes.
﻿President Wakui, to the front.
﻿I've been thinking about it ever since we met again.
All right then, please.
At the time,
﻿I wondered why I didn't ask you to come with me to America.
Natsuki.
I think my water broke.
Your water broke?
Ambulance!
Hold on.
﻿Are you Natsuki's husband?
Yes.
The husband is here.
﻿Could you show him in, please?
Yes, this way please.
﻿Thank you.
Na-chan.
You're late!!
I'm sorry.
﻿Mister, hold her hand.
Here we go.
Push!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Na-chan
Motoya
Na-chan
Thank you so much
I...
﻿I'll never forget today.
Ohhh...
You cry so easily.
Happiness is fleeting.
The hellish life of raising children would begin here.
﻿We just didn't know it yet.
She's an angel when she sleeps
But when she cries, she's an alien.
Natsuki shines when she's working.
I'll be back as soon as I find a nursery school.
How about some tea afterwards?
It's hard to use a female employee with a small child.
I wasn't ready to be a mom.
