Please take a look. What amazing amount of pigeons!
Mr President, why are there pigeons in your company?
You see, pigeons are our company's symbol mark.
And Izaki here, with all his heart,
takes care of them.
The pigeons for me are
my children. Yes.
And what is the book you are about to introduce to us?
And that book is this.
"A gift from the sky"
This is from our very own Hata Publications.
It's a copy of the book from our business.
By the way, do you guys know?
Even if you release the pigeons outside, they will surely come back...
Oh my. I've made this tape really wear out.
Okay.
Well then.
I've been in this company for 40 years.
I have earnestly protected it.
But with the industry these days,
the business is bad.
But...
I'm sure ours is fine.
That's because we published
these many books for this world.
Of course,
there were books that didn't sell at all.
Besides,
there is no such book that isn't needed in this world.
That is
something I learned from the President.
You gave me a fright. I didn't know you're still here, Mr President.
- Stay right there, Izaki. - Yes, Sir.
You know...
- Yes, Sir. - I'm done.
Huh?
To think I only just published this kind of book.
Once I die, I would apologize to my predecessor.
P-President... That's...
Thank you for everything, Izaki.
No way.... President...
President.
President! Please stop!
Don't do it! Please stop!
Let go, Izaki!
Let go!
- Izaki! - Yes, Sir!
- Are you alright?! - I'm fine...
How about you, President...?
Who are you?
I'm the Gatekeeper of Grudges, Izuko.
[ 6th Death - pigeon house ]
You can choose one of the three destinations.
First:
Accept your death and embark to heaven.
You will then wait to be reborn.
Accept...
...death.
Second: You may choose to become a ghost
and roam the world.
Third: Curse and kill a person
then fall into hell and have eternal pain.
No.
To think
there is someone I want to curse and kill...
There isn't one?
For example...
The person who killed you?
That's right.
President.
How is the President?
He committed suicide and went to hell.
No...
Why?
Because he killed you.
Why did he do that...?
Why did he killed himself...?
Why are you crying to the person who killed you?
You see, he is...
the one who cared for me the most.
I finally finished it.
- This was the one you were talking about before. - Yes.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
It's full of clouds, isn't it?
President, even though I'm stupid,
and I don't understand it much but this is surely
a needed book in this world, right?
- Izaki. There is no such as an unwanted book in the world. - Yes?
- Okay. - All the books have worth.
- Okay. - It's the same with people.
- There is no such thing as a worthless person. - Yes.
So that's why don't say you're stupid.
Yes, Sir.
Now that the President is gone,
what will happen to our company now?
You are dead.
- To talk about your company is... - The company is, you see...
The company...
is my life.
If you are really worried about it, why don't you check it out?
I can go?
What is it about a test?
I'm the lowest in the test.
Whoa... That sucks.
Oh I see... Okay...
- Why is there such a thing as science? - Hmm?
- There is no need of it. - That's not true. It's needed.
I've been working with you, President, and I haven't used it.
That's not true.
What? What's wrong?
There's a security guard over there.
Huh?
As the proprietor, I have caused
a huge inconvenience to everyone.
From now on, we will pay
the debts of the company as soon as possible.
And we are now considering a reorganizing of the publication house.
How?
What kind of book will you make that will make you pay your debts?
Who is she?
- She's the assistant editor, Youko Miura. - By gradually raising the books
- that match the corporate culture - Do you think
that kind of books would sell?
Youko.
I've told you many times already. We are science publishers.
Science publishers. Who do you think will buy this kiddie picture book?
- I told you that a child psychologist said to me that... - Be of some use in planning, fool.
Ah, hello. Here are pigeon feeds.
Umm...
You are Ms Youko Miura, right?
What? Why do you know me?
I memorized it.
I memorized all the employees of the company.
Umm... I don't mean to be rude but...
There is surely something good in anything.
Well, for example, it'll soon be
your birthday. Right?
You even know my birthday?
Yes. I've memorized it.
Of course, all of the employees in the company.
Really? No way. Amazing.
Are you intending to make such a book like this that's always been returned?
How dare you! That's the book that our president who passed away celebrately published.
That's why the company got into debt in the first place. How dare you! That's the book that our president who passed away celebrately published.
That's why the company got into debt in the first place.
Then what kind of book do you think that will sell?
Well, let's see. For example,
sex oriented info mag.
- Sex oriented? - Rubbish!
We are not that kind of company who publishes like those!
But it would sell greatly than this.
That's true.
Our company is probably in no position to care
- about our public image. - Mr Onoda.
But can a woman like you can publish something sex oriented?
I can.
I wonder what happened?
What happened to Youko?
No one can understand what is in a person's mind.
But for 40 years,
I continued to protect them.
So?
There should be nothing
I don't know about all of the employees.
If you go as far as saying that,
would you like to go and see for yourself again?
Hazuki.
We can't use this interview at all.
Huh? But I listened earnestly.
The readers won't know at all how much
you can touch hostesses at all.
Miura, here is the aforementioned cover design.
Would this be okay?
- How does it look? - Doesn't the title logo
- cover the breast? Why? - But, you see,
- if I put the title logo above, the face will be covered. - That's why please
give more emphasis on the breast than the face. It would be no good
- if we won't be able to sell it. - Please stop, Youko.
Then, it should be like this?
- Stop it. - Huh?
- What are you doing? - W-why did you turned it off?
- Did you press something wrong? - Please move.
I'll do the front cover.
I think you should remove your bra after all.
- Just really the bra? - Yeah, if you do that,
- I think the number of copies will increase. - Yes, yes. Right, right.
- Just the bra. Okay? - To think they'd do such a thing at the President's room.
Okay, take the pictures.
What do you think you're doing?
As you were everyone.
- It's work. - Work?
We're using the room to take pictures of a prostitute.
- Prostitute? - The setting is an affair
of the president and a secretary. If we use a set outside,
it would be expensive.
Ah. Smile.
- Now, lift your leg like this. - It's the President's room...
- Lift your chin a bit. -Don't do this, Youko.
- Don't take those kinds of pictures. - Okay. Please pose.
N-n-no!
The building is old that's why the electrical systems' bad.
It has become rumors that it might be the late president's doing.
- What? - What is this about the late president?
- Ah. It's nothing really. - That time, the security guard, Mr Izaki also
- passed away, right? - Yeah, that's right. He got mixed up with the President.
Ah. Then the room is empty now.
- Excuse us, removing the table. - Are they really gonna take shots here?
- It's alright to throw that away. - Okay, understood.
She said it's okay to throw it away.
- This area, right? - Yes. Thank you.
- If you please. - Ah. That video.
- It's alright if I put it here? - Yeah.
It's not here. Not here. The video's not here.
Then please look here. Okay. Okay.
- Smile, smile. Okay. - My memories...
As soon as I died,
I didn't thought it would be like this.
To think that Youko would do
that kind of work.
She has her own life.
But...
I would not die like this.
- You're already dead. - I guess...
that place
is not good without me.
Do you really think so?
- Huh? - This copy we released previously
- has exceeded 30 million copies. - Alright.
Therefore,
we aim to sell beyond that.
With that in mind, everyone, please do your best. That's all.
- Okay, let's do this. Come on. - We'll do our best too.
Um, Ma'am Miura.
Can you please have a substitute in charge of the article about soap lands?
- Why? - I can't bear it anymore.
Then how about it. I'll go then how about you the article of sexual health?
Sorry but I can't do that either.
Get a hold of yourselves!
I'm fed up with your worthless pride.
- Ma-Ma'am Miura? - This is work.
- We have food on the table with this. - Calm down, calm down.
- Miura. That's far enough. - Sir editor-in-chief,
the deadline of the strip page is today.
- Got it. - Wait. Sir editor-in-chief.
It's alright. I'll quit.
True. I think that's the best decision.
Your company's debts have been increasing for 10 years prior.
If this continues, we have to withdraw.
Now that our company is handled
- by the main bank. - That's what I have to say.
- If you'll excuse me. - Please wait.
Please wait. Please. Please hold on.
By the way, do you guys know?
Even if you release the pigeons outside, they will surely come back.
- This video... - Why do they come back, I wonder.
It might be their homing instincts.
It is said that the pigeons also love the company.
I also love the company.
Especially the employees...
You must really love pigeons.
By the way, I want to ask the company's formation.
Would you please tell us about it?
Understood.
Let's see. It was my father who founded the company.
- How? - At the time of establishment, there were only few employees.
There were only six.
The readers...
Are you accusing me?
Are you accusing me that it was me who decided to make sex oriented magazines?
Then what should we have done?
You're being unfair.
You ran away by yourself.
What should I do now that you left me behind?
It's not that much but for 40 years,
I've always protected it.
What did you protect?
What I'm saying is
I've protected the company.
Day after day.
I perfectly patrol the company at fixed times.
And also,
day after day,
I look out to everyone,
Giving them much attention.
And also...
And also?
And also...
Anyway, I did my best efforts
towards my work.
- And what is that? - What do you mean?
I've been doing it for 40 years, you know.
I...
I've been doing it for 40 years.
What were you doing for 40 years?
I told you...
I did it for the company.
What did you do
for the company?
- What is the meaning of this? - We can no longer
- stand working with her. - Her?
Youko Miura.
If I would continue making publications like that, I'd rather quit.
I do not want to make publications that I can't be proud of.
If you'll excuse us.
Excuse us.
Please hold on everyone. Please. Everyone.
Everyone. Wait...
Please...
Please everyone. Please reconsider.
Please don't quit.
Please don't go!
- No way. - What?
- What should we do?
- Light. There's light. Light. - Ah, emergency button.
What is it?
Hello. This is Shouwa Technical Service. What's wrong?
The elevator stopped.
Let's see. You're in Hata Publications Building, right?
Yes. Will it will be fixed immediately?
This is weird.
I can't confirm there's anything wrong from here.
What?
Understood. We'll be right there in 15 minutes.
Thank you.
This is what we get at the very end.
Because this building is old.
The President looked so sad.
This company will become no good sooner or later.
I was really surprised
at the President's suicide.
What's unfortunate was Mr Izaki, the security guard.
But Mr Izaki was sort of annoying.
Hey. Don't talk like that about the dead.
I'm sorry.
But he even knew when is my birthday.
True. To think he gives gifts that are useless.
Seems like he has memorized all of our birthdays.
But that's somewhat little creepy.
That's right. It seems like
he's always keeping an eye on us.
That's because he has too much spare time.
Besides, he wasn't able to fulfill his job.
To think he's a security guard, he wasn't able to protect the President.
It's simply stupid to die like that.
Stupid?
No...
Ah, it moved.
That magazine will surely sell.
I am happy to be useful to the company.
But a lot of people have quit.
But we're able to cut costs.
For a company, people are assets.
Isn't it better that there are no people who aren't needed by the company?
- People who are not needed by the company? - Thanks for the hard work.
What changed you?
I didn't change.
I wanted to work all the time.
When I finally was able to do that,
everyone said I changed.
Please do not impose wrong impressions on me.
This is the real me.
In the end...
I am stupid.
I didn't understood
who Youko and everyone in the company
at all.
But still
I was selfishly
drowned by my own feelings
that I was protecting the company.
You are like a caged bird.
Like a pigeon in the pigeon hut.
I think so... too...
I don't know
if the 40 years I've been in the company
I was able to
properly keep it.
Then what are you planning to do?
You said that
I can curse and kill
someone to death.
You will fall to hell.
And have resolve to be in eternal pain.
If that's so...
If that's so, I want
the company to be cursed.
Curse the company?
That company.
who wasted my whole
life...
What is the company to you?
It's my everything.
It's my home, my family.
It's my hometown, my universe.
It's my
life.
Then
you want to curse your own life?
Curse my own
life?
Editor-in-chief. Orders are jammed for Big Breasts Heaven.
Okay! Then let's immediately go to the 2nd printing.
Yes, Ma'am.
Why did the people who quit are here?
It feels good that you can sell this much.
Even though I kinda hesitated when I said that time
- that I wouldn't come back to Ms Miura. - Me too.
But to change jobs at times like these is unthinkable.
- That's true. - Could Youko changed the hearts to all of them?
Editor-in-chief. I'll be leaving on the way for a preparatory meeting.
- It's about the lingerie pub, right? - Yes. After that,
I want to see Gotanda's SM Club.
I heard there is a Topless Queen.
- No way! That sounds great. - Isn't it?
- Ah. You're being interviewed today? - I have to make a great publicity to the next magazine.
Ah. You really seem to be a celebrity already.
No way. Why is it
that everyone seems to be having fun?
Here goes. Okay.
Is there any reluctance being a woman
to make these kind of magazines?
I've thrown away such
- worthless pride. - I see.
Wow, Ms President. You find quite a good employee here.
- Yes. - Ah, which reminds me,
during the time when company management had it tough, the people who left the company
- recently came back. - Yes.
It should be your popularity, Ms President.
It's because we sold our magazines.
It's because of these two magazines that are selling,
our performance are rapidly coming back.
- I see. - Right, Ms President?
It's thanks to you.
Then chief editor Miura is company's treasure.
- I see. - Then one more picture.
What was needed here
was someone like Youko.
Compared to me...
- Do you still want to curse the company? - No.
But
next time I will be born
I want to be someone who will be useful
to be reborn.
Do you mean that
you now decided to go to heaven and wait to be reborn?
Are you sure?
I don't want to
remember anything.
I see.
Now then...
- Go. Ah, could I for the last time...
What?
I want to see... um...
I want to see my pigeons...
Could I?
This is dreadful.
You pigeons
ate by yourselves?
I'm sorry.
I didn't noticed you at all.
You pigeons and I are the same.
The same in a sense being left by the company
when my husband died.
Run!
Hurry and run away from this kind of company!
Ma'am!
Run! Come on! Hurry and run!
- Please stop that to my pigeons! - You must not be here!
Hurry and run!
It's true after all...
The useless things...
should disappear.
Even pigeons.
Even Ma'am.
Even me.
What?
Why?
Why did you come back?
There are no more feeds.
There will be no one who will take care of you.
You'll die if you stay here.
But still
why don't you run away?
I see.
So that is your
decision.
Our company was featured again by another company's magazine.
But the reason you are gathered here today in the editorial center
is not because of this matter.
- What? - Ah.
From now on, we will not publish sex oriented magazines anymore.
- What? - No way.
Why? It's being sold greatly.
I thought I will protect what my husband wanted to protect.
But it would be the same like the dead president. It's suicide!
And I would like to publish the book I want to make.
What kind of book are you intending to make?
Like this book.
President. Are you intending to crush the company?!
I'd rather choose that than continue this way.
Are you saying
I should move to another company?
If you want to transfer,
you are free to do so.
Miura!
But if chief editor Youko Miura is gone...
Wouldn't this company be done for?
Wait...
That goes to all of you. Please stay to those
who only agree with me.
What are you thinking, Ms President?
Please restrain yourself.
I see the everyone left.
- How about you? - Of course,
I will leave.
This building will be ceased.
I guess so.
- I liked this rooftop. - What?
It's old, and have pigeons.
I feel relieved that I kind of left the city.
I wonder why
I suddenly
thought that whatever book
would be fine instead of the book I like to make.
I would have wanted to visited the pigeons here that time.
- I visited them. - What?
When I did,
there are the same pigeons I saw when I first came here
and I was comforted many times.
I was encouraged.
The truth is
I needed these pigeons.
Even though it's me.
Always even now.
Even though it's me.
- I envy you. - What?
I envy you that you chose your ideals,
Ms President.
But
I'll still go.
I won't regret it.
Definitely.
I won't regret it either.
Goodbye.
That's right.
There is
no one in this world
that's not needed.
Umm...
I have something to ask.
What?
The truth is
- I think of returning. - Returning?
Yes.
I finally understood.
- What did you understand? - Well, to put it this way,
Umm...
Finding where you belong
is what it means
to be alive.
That is?
Because the company for me is...
It is
everything to you.
Yes.
I have
accepted that choice.
Thank you.
Go.
To the never ending wandering journey.
What the.
- What do you think you're doing. - Ah.
- No, no. You're still too young. - No, I'm not.
No, you're young. Besides, you don't understand these kinds of magazines.
- I'll tell Mommy. - Ah, you know what to do.
- That's why I can take a look, right? - No, you can't. You don't still need it.
You're always unfair, President.
But it's a magazine I need.
- Because Mommy is gonna be hospitalized? - That's right. Wait. Hey. How dare you.
Why do you say something green like that?
That surprised me.
- No you can't. - Ah.
- What? What is it? - He's there again.
- Who? - The security guard.
- That again? - It's true. He's there.
Ah. That pigeon seems to live in this building.
Ah. Then could this be the rumored building where there's a ghost of a security guard?
Right.
What's wrong, Izuko?
What are you thinking?
Without cursing nor
without desire for rebirth,
why did he return to the present world?
Isn't it because that's where the place he can go home?
Place he can go home.
Humans cannot live without it.
That's why he returned to the present world.
Is the present world
that great place?
