Each house is inhabited by its own demons.
It's a little too flamboyant, isn't it?
The house is completely covered with scaffolding.
It's like a festival.
Rassera, rassera, rassera... something like that.
About that, Mari-chan...
This is not the time to be merry.
What?
It's hard for me to say this, but...
That house is no good.
It's very bad.
What do you mean it's no good?
A Bad House
It's our job to exterminate that demon.
Uhm, is Shingyouji Koume currently here?
Ah, I'm sorry, she just left.
Oh, I see.
Oh, a customer....
Oh, I'm not a customer.
I'm Igarashi Sakurako, a former colleague of Shingyouji.
That means, you're from Global...?
Ah, yes.
Is it alright if I wait here for a moment?
I'm sorry.
Sometimes demons
come one after another, hand in hand.
The customer who requested the remodeling has canceled!
Gennosuke, did you do something wrong?
No, I didn't!
... I think.
The request was to paint the exterior walls and repair the tiled roof.
And the work has already started.
The scaffolding has already been erected.
A last minute cancellation, or rather cancelling halfway.
She says "dota-can" which is slang for last minute cancellation. She also coins her own word "tochu-can" which means cancelling while something is in progress.
Anyway, we will talk to them first.
And if possible, we will cancel the cancellation.
It's a counter-cancel, isn't it?
That doesn't matter.
It seems we are in a dispute with Hanamaru, the foreman, about the scaffolding.
- I'm sorry! - It's a little late for that, isn't it?
I'm so sorry!
All that's left is to put up the railing and hang up the sheets.
I'm very sorry!
You keep saying "Sorry", are you from the planet "Sorry"?
I'm not from the planet "Sorry"
- Oh, sorry! - What?
Where's the taiyaki? I bought it.
Please apologize and give it to them when you get there.
I'll go talk to Oyamada.
Got it.
I'm sorry!
Hanamaru-san, please put the construction on hold temporarily...
Eh?
- Taiyaki? - Yes.
You know, even if you do this kind of thing...
We're doing this with our feelings
That's why we're doing this out of the goodness of our hearts.
You're too good at apologizing, you know.
No.
Hey... Learn from him.
I'm sorry!
If you don't mind, may I have a word with you?
We will do our best to help.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
My sister-in-law told me.
She said this house has bad luck.
Bad luck?
Did she say the construction was no good?
Feng Shui, sometimes called Chinese geomancy, is an ancient Chinese traditional practice which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment.
It has the worst Feng Shui.
That's why I want to cancel the outside works,
and I want you to change the location of the toilet and kitchen.
But at this point...
I'm sorry to ask so suddenly.
But I've made my decision.
Oyamada, this house was built 20 years ago,
and it has not been repainted even once.
There are several cracks on the exterior walls.
Scaling on the north wall is also a problem.
Remodeling the exterior walls is not only for appearance.
It is important to prevent damage to the house....
I know that!
I know all about that.
*Unlucky Southwest Quarter
The toilet is in the Urakimon*.
The kitchen to the south has bad luck
If I leave things as they are,
I might get misfortune.
I... might die.
I see. So her sister-in-law told her that.
Something like, "You'll go to hell."
No, that's not what she said.
Well, the nuance is similar.
It's now a Feng Shui case, of all things!
It just became a Feng Shui project.
Who changes plans after construction has begun? So inauspicious!
I'm sorry. We're in the middle of a strategy meeting.
We were hoping you could leave the scaffolding up for a little while longer...
Idiot!
Oyamada is hoping to
LD = Living and Dining
Connect the LD and two Japanese-style rooms and change it to a living room.
Move the kitchen, which is facing a bad direction, to the east side.
Move the toilet and washbasin which are in the Urakimon, to the north.
And move the Japanese-style room on the first floor, to the second floor.
It's like a traffic pile-up accident, isn't it?
She wants to prioritize Feng Shui above all else.
Tatsu, what do you think of this plan?
I'm going to tell you right now.
It's a worse renovation plan.
Isn't it?
The current one is definitely better than that.
This renovation would be tough for someone in her 50s.
The bedroom for the older person is on the second floor, which has no bathroom.
I wonder if a big bowl of salt will somehow convince her.
In Japan, salt is believed to have purifying powers and keep evil spirits away.
But, you know...
Feng Shui has its reasons.
It's not Marufuku.
Feng Shui is not superstition, but environmental science.
Feng Shui is the culmination of wisdom from ancient times.
Oh, this is a rehearsal for the festival. We're rehearsing for the festival.
I'm not asking you.
For example, the north side is the coldest part of the house.
so don't put a squatting-style toilet on the north side.
Modern houses are airtight.
It's strange to be concerned about that.
You could say that.
But if you've started paying attention to Feng Shui,
then there must be something to it.
People don't care about fortune telling or fortune when they are doing well.
The fact that Oyamada is so concerned about it now,
I'm a little concerned.
Gennosuke's kindness
can sometimes backfire.
The second son Toranosuke, who is not here...
who ran away with his wife.
It's not like that.
Do he hear my thoughts?
By the way, do you know The Fukuyama family names
are named after the Four Divinities of Feng Shui.
Is that so?
The president's late wife was Akemi, which means the Vermilion Bird
The first character in Akemi is the same as "Su" in "Suzaku" which means the Vermillion Bird, a god said to rule over the southern heavens.
Genbu is the Black Tortoise, a god said to rule over the northern heavens.
Gennosuke is Genbu.
Toranosuke is the White Tiger.
"Tora" means Tiger in Japanese. Although Toranosuke's "Tora" is not the actual character for Tiger, but sounds like it. The White Tiger is a god said to rule over the western heavers.
Tatsunosuke-kun is the Green Dragon.
In Tatsunosuke's name, the first character can also be read as "Ryu", which means "Dragon". The Blue/Green dragon is a god said to rule over the eastern heavens.
Really?
I'm supposed to be protected like this.
But now, Akemi isn't here any more.
And Toranosuke betrayed me.
I'm now only a little bit protected.
He uses an old expression of defenses becoming weaker.
I guess that tiger is a thief, huh?
You know, because it's a cat...
Hey, Echigo-kun.
This gag, can we pretend it was your gag.
It was bad. It don't think it was funny.
- What? - I'm sorry.
Anyway, Tatsunosuke, please revise the plan.
Seriously?
I'll go to her again and talk about it.
Wait a minute!
Does that mean that scaffolding will stay like that for a while?
Until she makes a decision.
Oh, that's impossible.
Hanamaru's already very angry right now.
It's okay if you give him taiyaki.
Anyway, he's a sucker for red bean paste.
Are you serious?
Red bean paste and taiyaki,
how long can that delay an adult?
Oh, Koume, just now...
your junior came over.
- My junior? - Yeah.
Her name was Igarashi.
Iga...
W-What was she doing here?
She said she wanted to talk to you about something.
She waited for about an hour before leaving...
I'm sorry...
I can't see her after all.
Saying that, she left quite dramatically.
It was like theater, wasn't it?
There seems to be a reason, doesn't there?
Koide-san...
You can consult with me about everything Hoot, hoot...
I'm fine.
- Why not? - It's better that you don't talk to him.
It'll spread all over the neighborhood. The Koide cannon will go off.
That's rude. Who's the "Weekly Koide"?
It's "Little Exit".
The characters in Koide's name literally mean "Little Exit", and he is saying it in katakana/English.
You are hard to understand.
Shit! Hey, not there!
Ugh. Hey!
I see. The ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, huh?
I don't really know her that well either.
I didn't think it was like her to quit her job over a simple heartbreak.
But that she came to pressure Koume...
I wonder if Kubodera was able to properly break up with her.
I'm worried about Koume's fatigue.
Fatigue?
When you climb a mountain, if you run out of rice, you'll have fatigue.
I put out some omusubi* a while ago.
Omusubi is a rice ball
Koume only ate three of them.
That's why I told you to stop!
I can't understand you.
Shinnosuke? What's wrong?
It's nothing.
It's not nothing. Are you having problems communicating with your friend?
I don't understand his English.
Hey, Shinnosuke,
in that case, you have to talk to him. Isn't your partner your friend?
You know, it's a waste of time.
But...
The other person probably thinks you don't understand them.
First of all, you have to listen to what they have to say, okay?
Then you can say what you want to say.
Grandpa, can I practice with you?
Practice? What... do you need practice to talk with your friends?
- I do. - Okay, then.
First of all, tell grandpa how to play the game...
What I wanted to say,
there was no time to say it.
Toranosuke: Brother Gen, I'm really sorry,. I had to do it this way. I will make Yukino happy. I'm so sorry.
Why is this happening?
Why did Sakurako come to my office?
And cry in front of my boss?
And then leave theatrically?
I'm really sorry about that.
I don't need you to apologize for that.
I'm sorry for being out of control.
He's saying "out of control" in katakana, which is westernized language in Japanese.
Using western language is annoying, just apologize.
I mean, did you really break up with her?
What did you say to her?
I said I wanted
some time alone to reflect on myself.
You think that's clear to a woman she is being dumped?
K-Koume.
That's not going to convince her.
I mean, you used that phrase on me too, didn't you?
Why are you making it into a template?
Haha, now she is using westernized language for the word "template"
You should at least hit their soul when you're breaking up.
That's why I'm telling you
I thought it was a mistake to choose Sakurako at that time.
I should have trusted you.
What's wrong?
It was Shingyouji, the salesperson.
She took Kubodera from Sakurako.
She was trying to use Kubodera.
- What was that? - I heard she was trying to take credit for Kubodera's work,
and then claiming it was Kubodera who was following her.
That's the worst.
Is that true?
- Kubodera. - Sakurako.
Is that true?
I'm sorry.
But it's my fault.
I was weak and backed out.
Sakurako, it's not your fault.
It's alright.
Kubodera.
Please, marry Sakurako.
No, no, what's that about?
You will be the sacrifice!
No, wait, what "sacrifice"?
This is awful.
Fairy girl, did the forest die?
It must have been a shock for her.
I can't understand if you cry, so tell me what happened.
Don't worry.
We're on your side.
Look out!
Ah, Tatsu!
Surprise ! A demon has appeared!
Hehehehe.
It's a demon?
You're the one who let the forest die.
Hahahaha.
I had another dream that night.
3.4 million?
For us to reflect your wishes...
It will be about this much.
That's more than double the current amount.
And I'm truly sorry, but...
The scaffolding work is currently in progress.
Becuase this is a customer-driven cancellation,
You will have to pay 80% of the previous fee.
I can't. My budget is limited to 2 million.
Even if you don't rebuild,
There are many ways to seal off the demon's gate*. For example...
The demon's gate is the unlucky area in the northeastern direction
You'll tell me to clean it up, right?
I'm doing that, but that's not enough.
But my sister-in-law says that's not enough to chase away the evil spirits in this house.
Stop it, Mother.
Masaki.
Hello, I'm her son, Masaki.
Please be silent.
I can't be silent.
Mom, you need to calm down.
The scaffolding has already been erected.
Can't you see how much trouble you're causing the contractors?
It's embarrassing to be influenced by fortune-telling.
What?
For the trouble caused by my mother,
- I'm sorry. - Not at all.
Please proceed with the construction as planned.
Thank you very much.
Uhm, it's okay.
I don't think you're a bother.
Even if someone told you not to worry about it,
if you have a reason to be bothered, you will be bothered.
My husband collapsed in the bathroom.
He had a stroke last year.
He died in a blink of an eye.
At the time,
I didn't think it was because of the devil's gate.
And then last month, my son was also laid off.
My sister-in-law couldn't help but give me advice.
I didn't want to tell you until now.
But this house brings misfortune to the head of the household.
As soon as you signed the contract to renovate the roof and exterior walls...
Masaki got laid off due to restructuring, right?
That was a warning from this house, Mari.
Eh?
Is that so?
We don't have the money to rebuild.
It cost 3.4 million just to relocate the plumbing.
I don't want to let go of this house where I lived with my husband.
Then what should I do?
What should I do now?
I understand, so...
Let's just move the toilet.
Koume?
The only thing in Oyamada's house that is in the demon's gate is the toilet.
And if that's where your husband collapsed.
It's impossible to ask you not to worry about it.
Huh?
Moving the toilet, the exterior wall, and the roof.
We can manage within the budget of 2 million.
Huh? Huh?
Really?
Leave it to me.
No, no.
Thank you.
I was surprised.
You said you could do it even before submitting the estimate.
I always get scolded for doing that.
W-What are you doing?
There they are. The standing faucet and sewage basin
I remembered seeing them here before.
If the new toilet is near the water inlet and outlet,
the cost of installing new pipes will be reduced.
With this, I think we can get by.
Koume, you are very good at sweet talking.
However...
I wanted to do something about it, too.
Sorry?
O-Of course...
I won't know until I get an estimate.
Oh, that's cute. You're like a Tsundere*.
A Tsundere is someone who normally behaves coldly, but can be very warm all of a sudden.
- Please stop that! - It's there, isn't it?
Like a Vegeta girl.
Tsundere girls are often compared to the character Vegeta from the Dragon Ball manga/anime who started off as the main antagonist, but evolved to become the secondary protagonist.
What's that?
It's not supposed to be like this.
A Vegeta-like girl.
What's that?
- High forehead? - Oh, no, no.
It's 200,000 over. No matter how you estimate it, it's impossible.
Why did you accept that?
Can't you do something about it?
That's impossible. Even for Koume,
Don't let your feelings get in the way.
That's harsh.
You should downgrade the paint by one grade.
If we try and do this and that, we can do something, can't we?
I see. Let's go with that.
Why don't we ask Hanamaru to do it?
That's right, because, you know, he'll think of something, won't he?
I've known him since the previous generation.
- Echigo, if you please. - Hey wait a minute.
What? You want me to go to Hanamaru to discuss?
- You want him to change the arrangements? - Taiyaki. Taiyaki.
What? Taiyaki doesn't have that much power!
- You can do it with Taiyaki - It's just one Taiyaki.
Absolutely impossible with Taiyaki.
Yes, Taiyaki. It's okay.
Something inside of me is changing, what is it?
Taiyaki...
Please talk to Hanamaru.
taiyaki
Hello.
It's been a while, Koume-san.
Here it is!
Sakurako, it's been a while. Shall we go out?
Oh, no, but...
We need to talk, right? This is my workplace.
Ah... I'm sorry for barging in.
But...
Sakurako?
Uhm, can't we talk here?
Being alone with Koume,
is scary.
Here it comes!
Well then, it's fine.
We're going to close soon, you know.
It's not like it's just the two of you. Go ahead.
Excuse me.
Be careful with fatigue from lack of rice.
It's time to face the complications of the past.
I accept the challenge.
Omusubi
Did you hear from Kubodera, about us?
I heard you guys broke up.
So you and Kubodera are still together after all.
Not at all. We are definitely not together.
We just compete with each other at work.
Hmm? Then why the sudden change in Kubodera's attitude?
I thought maybe it was something Koume said to him.
- You know... - I'm sorry.
If you hold a grudge against me, I apologize.
So please don't get involved anymore.
Because of me, you got angry.
and became violent,
I apologize for making you unable to stay at the company.
I'm really sorry.
I heard from Igarashi,
You were using me, weren't you?
Do you really believe that story?
It's not fair.
Please stop what you're doing
Koume.
When did I take advantage of Kubodera?
When did I steal the credit?
No.
You're the one who lied and cheated everyone.
Hey, you're hurting me!
Sakurako, are you all right?
Senpai, what are you doing?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
But please don't use violence on me.
You're the worst.
It's unbelievable.
What? Violence?
I will not fall for that trick twice.
That kind of thing. Let's not do that anymore.
What do you mean by that?
Taking the victim's position like that.
People around you think you're pitiful,
so that you can get sympathy.
It's just going to fall right out of your hands, isn't it?
Stop pretending to be weak to influence people.
You're not the princess of the circle.
You know that, don't you, Sakurako?
That's a terrible thing to say.
Let me ask you something.
Sakurako-chan, did you get mad at Kubodera?
You should tell Kubodera what you need to tell him, not me.
Making me the bad guy won't solve anything.
Uhm!
K-Kubodera was reflecting on his behavior.
- Gennosuke, just... - Hmm?
Uhm...
Somehow...
Ever since he was a kid, it was a given that he'd be popular? And then...
Before he knew it, he might have become incapable of anything but selfish love.
Forget it, whatever you're doing.
Hmm.
I started drinking with Kubodera from time to time.
And I'm twice-divorced,
and when we talked... it seemed to have sunk in for him, too. Seems like.
He was reflecting on his past.
He wanted to apologize to both of you properly someday.
And so...
I'll apologize on his behalf this time.
I'm sorry!
What? Why? Why would you do that?
Sakurako.
Hey Sakurako,
you went to Marufuku Construction, right? To see Koume.
Why would you do that?
You know it would bother me.
I'm sorry.
Don't act so gentle.
What you're doing is quite devious.
Don't cry.
It's like theatre.
Hey Kubodera, is she okay?
Chief
No, she just... seems a little panicked.
Right? It's not normal.
That doesn't look very good.
She rushed to our competitor's place, didn't she?
That's not good. It's disruptive to our business.
I'm sorry.
Oh, so you feel responsible too.
That's good.
Kubodera, that's a bit too much of a penalty.
Come to my study group if you like.
- Uhh, that's... - Right, Mitsui?
Yes! You can learn a lot.
Koume, that sounds great.
Tatsu had to rethink the plan a few times,
but I think we've settled on a good place.
And Hanamaru is very kind person after all.
Gennosuke.
I'm not able to understand everything.
Is there anything that's bothering you?
Shall we work on the plan one more time?
...it's not that.
It's about Sakurako.
I wanted to say more.
Instead of apologizing and bringing it to a close,
I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk.
I'm sorry.
I see.
Koume too,
couldn't say what she wanted to say either.
We've been reconsidering since then.
But before that, we need to talk to our sponsor...
Ah.
Nice to meet you. My name is Hoshina Chieko.
My sister-in-law.
Uhm... what do you mean by sponsor?
The funding for the renovation will be borne by me.
What? All the funding?
Yes.
I'm worried about Mari,
I couldn't leave her alone.
Is she dangerous or clumsy?
Hahahaha.
That's harsh, sister-in-law.
I don't trust you, Mari.
Ah, I do think you're cute.
But her vibrations are a little low, or something like that.
I'm a Spico.
Spico is a community for spiritualists to connect with other people who are involved in spiritual things such as fortune telling and healing.
Eh...uh...well, please take a look at this.
Oh, don't worry. Everything will change anyway.
Since I'm sponsoring it.
I want this house to be super protective.
So that it will bring in the best luck.
So that people will never die again. Hahaha
Oh no, that was my brother.
Auntie, could you step away for today?
We're the ones who called in the contractors.
Oh, no.
That's not respectful to your sponsor.
For us, we have our own ideas.
Wait, wait. Let me ask you something.
So, did it ever work?
I'm telling you, you have low vibrations. Low vibrations.
I don't know anything about vibrations.
But I know.
I know what's wrong with this house.
You think it's OK? It's been all wrong for a long time.
It attracts bad vibes, it pulls them in.
It's like you've been at a disadvantage your whole life.
That's enough! I can't communicate with you, auntie.
Don't put a curse on me.
I'm sorry, sister-in-law.
Hahaha.
It's okay, I won't get angry.
My vibrations are very strong.
I'm sorry about this.
I'm going to have to ask you to come back again this time.
No need for you to apologize, Oyamada.
To have the opportunity to discuss this with you and your family,
it is a pleasure for us too.
We aim to come up with a plan that you would approve of.
We would like to hear the opinion of your sister-in-law,
who has been assisting us in this regard, first.
You... have strong vibrations.
Feng Shui is nothing to scoff at.
When my brother passed away...
You were both sad.
I was sad too.
That's why,
I really want to do something about it.
Please let me know.
Okay, first of all...
let's start with the basic concepts of Feng Shui.
First, there are a few concepts that I would like you to keep in mind.
I'm going to skip over the yin-yang theory and the five elements.
You've got a feel for this, don't you?
Feng Shui is a science. It's like building a nation...
No, it was too much, wasn't it?
It was more and more Feng Shui.
It's true that from the point of view of house divination,
that house is no good at all.
Well... I can understand why she wants to pay for the renovation.
In fact, that sister-in-law was successful.
She said she owned a building.
Feng Shui is so powerful.
So, we go from here.
This is totally different from what we discussed.
Sorry, Tatsu.
Can you draw up another new plan for me?
How many plans do you want me to write?
I mean, it's got so much Feng Shui in it. It's fully equipped.
Tatsu is using a car reference of buying a car that is fully equipped with all the highest grade options.
It's the age of the wind.
The first character of Feng Shui is "Wind", so she is saying this is the age of Feng Shui.
A ridiculous response?
Tatsu, put it all in!
Build a castle of Clouds and Feng Shui if you have to.
If this works out, we can get a big contract.
- Dad. - Yeah?
I understand what you're saying.
But why are you listening to English conversation tapes while talking?
What do you mean? There's a lot going on here.
Whoa, that smells good.
Hmmm...
Well, the cost of taiyaki is ridiculous.
So we thought we'd bake them ourselves.
It's like Hanamaru was waiting for this for the whole time.
Hey. Oh.
I'll take one too, since I have a big responsibility this time.
Ah, I want custard.
Yes! 1 custard coming right up!
I think I want to quit Marufuku...
It's a love battlefield.
The new girl's ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend...
came barging into the office.
Ummm... It's fun, isn't it?
- Are you kidding? - Hmm?
They started a lover's quarrel in the office.
- That sounds hot! - It's Isekai!
Isekai is a genre in Japanese manga/anime where the main character dies and gets transported into a fantasy world.
- It's an emotional workplace. - It's not.
It is.
What you're talking about...
Can you tell me more about it?
Well...
- Who are you? - Do you want some of this?
Aren't you being too kind!?
Hey, who are you talking about? Various people.
Well, isn't kindness important?
Ha, you're saying that while you're cutting up a chicken?
No, I'm cutting the stomach.
That's not what I meant.
I'm telling you, wasn't I the one who opened out your guts?
Six months ago, you closed everything.
Both your mouth and your heart.
It took me three months to make you scream at the top of the mountain.
And then you've been talking and talking ever since.
Thank you for opening my guts.
Not at all.
But even if it's not me, you are already okay, right?
Marufuku's oldest son.
It's true, he's easy to talk to.
You're sandbagging him, aren't you? Like this?
No, I don't. You know, sometimes he has a good counter-attack.
Hey, what's he like? Don't you have a picture?
What? His face...
The welcome party. That's good. I want to see his face.
This one.
Hey Mikoto, what do you think of Feng Shui?
What? I don't believe in it at all.
Totally?
Yeah, I want to decide for myself.
I see...
I mean, he's got a nice face.
Hmm~.
Eh?
How is it? Were you able to follow along?
We learned a lot last time.
Firstly, please take a look at this plan.
We've made it as ideal as possible.
It's a house that's sure to improve your fortune.
It looks very different.
Yes, first of all, we made the bold decision to change the position of the entrance.
We changed the layout of the house to take into account the flow of energy.
All the water features have been changed.
We also avoided the demon's gate, the urakimon and other bearings with bad luck.
Wow, that's wonderful isn't it?
It certainly looks nice, but the price...
It will cost about 15 million yen.
15 million yen?
It involves a major remodeling of the floor plan
and we'll have to do some earthquake reinforcement.
But I think it will be worth it.
I think it's a good house.
It's okay, it was my idea after all.
If you agree to it, I don't mind paying for it.
Sister-in-law.
But, Mother, even this...
Masaki, you don't have to worry about anything.
Let's raise your luck and find a new job.
Please imagine it.
Your future life in the house that's changed so much, thanks to Chieko's help.
Mom... I've found a new job.
Really? I'm so glad!
That's why I gave you my advice.
Thanks to Feng Shui. Thanks to luck.
Thanks to me.
Sister-in-law. Uhm...
What's wrong?
Oh... no, it's nothing.
There's one more thing.
We also brought a plan that fits within your budget.
Please take a look at it.
This is a plan to move the existing toilet to the side of the entrance.
By collapsing this shoe closet and part of the Japanese-style room,
we will move the toilet away from the demon's gate
This position allows everything to fit nicely with minimal construction.
There is one drawback,
the Japanese-style room, which is a bedroom, will be a little smaller.
However, there is an advantage of having more storage space in the hallway.
I wanted more storage in the hallway.
That would be very helpful
And as for the exterior walls...
- Can you do the exterior walls as well? - Of course.
We've left the scaffolding in place.
First, we'll downgrade the exterior paint by one grade.
And as for the roof,
This time, we'll repair the plaster on the roof tiles,
so that it does not need not be repaired for another 10 years.
Is that okay?
Currently, there are no displaced tiles,
and the plan was to stop the tiles from shifting,
so we think there is no problem to forgo it.
With the roof and exterior maintenance and the relocation of the restrooms,
we'll drive away any anxieties from the inside and out.
And now, if you don't mind...
It's our Marukyoku Owl.
It brings good fortune.
Excuse me.
Please imagine your life from now on.
That's great.
This house,
somehow or another...
I've been feeling responsible for a long time,
because this layout is full of demons and bad luck.
It was my idea.
I thought the kitchen should be on the south side where the sun shines.
I thought a lot about the bathroom in the "demon's gate.
I wondered if my husband died too soon.
I wondered if I made my son's fortune worse.
Mari.
I said I'll pay for it.
Hmm.
Sister-in-law.
I really appreciate your offer.
But this is my house.
I had discussed with my husband.
about how good it would be to have this and that,
and we decided on this house.
I want to keep it.
I want to take good care of it while living here.
Is that okay?
Yes.
It's not your fault, mother.
Not at all.
It's also because Dad didn't quit drinking and smoking.
And I got fired because I chose the wrong side during the restructuring.
It's not your fault, and it's not the fault of the layout.
So don't get so upset.
Dad hated it when people blamed others, right?
Yeah.
I'll do my best to get a new job.
Trust me.
- Right? - Yeah.
Let me know if you want to change the position of the entrance.
I'm always willing to help.
I have very strong vibrations.
Hahaha.
Aww, sister-in-law.
Thank you.
I feel so grand.
Just like Feng Shui...
Renovation is magic.
I'm glad Oyamada's wife was able to say what she wanted to say.
I felt like she was protected
by the memories of her husband, in that house.
I believe it would give her the strength to live.
I'm very grateful.
They were frank and said what they wanted to say to each other.
And then they settled on common ground.
I was called "Apology Gen" so
I was so focused on making things right,
that I lost sight of the situation.
That is important.
It is also important to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Renovating your house is also renovating your life.
Yummy! No, that's right.
Let's eat more and more...
You better remember that!
- Eh? - I like red bean paste.
Red bean paste is what keeps me alive!
I'm very sorry! Sorry.
Do you know which type of red bean paste?
- The smooth type? - The rough type, you idiot!
- I really don't know. - What do you mean you don't know?
But it's delicious, isn't it?
I'm glad. You won't know unless you open out the guts.
It's delicious. - It's not delicious, idiot.
- Go buy some red bean paste, you idiot. - I haven't eaten any...
I want to fight offensive.
Attract the enemy.
You have a sword.
Oh... surely.
What's he saying?
No, I don't understand. That wasn't in English, right?
I don't understand.
What Engrish takingu?
- You country what? - What?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This time, it was a hard-fought victory.
I decided to take the fight to the ring.
Hahaha, you did.
But was it a good decision?
The Feng Shui House...
Don't you regret it a little? They said they were going to pay 15 million yen for it.
That's true.
Feng Shui is amazing, isn't it?
Will Feng Shui bring my wife back, I wonder.
Are you drunk already, Gennosuke?
- No, I'm not drunk. - You're not drunk?
Yes. I'm sorry about that.
- I was just joking. - I don't get the joke.
- Excuse me. - Welcome.
- Can I sit here? - Please go ahead.
Thank...
Sakurako.
Hello.
What a coincidence!
Yeah, hehe.
Hey, if you want, let's have a drink together.
I wanted to talk about what happened the other day.
Haha, no...
Let's have a proper heart-to-heart talk.
Sakurako, I'm sorry.
I rushed over after my call.
Oh, Sakurako, you like this type of place.
Hmmm...
Hmm? Do you know them?
No, hehe.
- Let's go to a different place. - Eh? Eh? What?
Eh? It looks like a nice place.
Hehehe.
I like the red lantern... It's okay.
Stubborn as ever.
Koume.
My renovation...
was probably to have met you, Koume.
I opened up my guts.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey wait... You're drunk aren't you?
Shinnosuke will be angry with you.
Is that right?
And then, there was another demon.
