Еп. 17: Прихований альбом романтики Ібарі розкриває минуле кохання під час пам’ятної церемонії землетрусу

17

An earthquake during the memorial for Hibari's deceased mother unearths an old album containing pictures of Kousaku's mother. Ibari reveals Kousaku's mother, Harue, was his girlfriend, but she left him to marry Kousaku's father. Ibari later married the daughter of the previous Oozora boss, Hibari's mother. Hibari becomes upset that Ibari has a whole album of Harue but only one picture of her mother and runs away. A politician asks Ibari for his help demolishing a children's park in order to build an entertainment centre. Ibari refuses as many of his children's precious memories are linked to the park. Kousaku asks the initially reluctant Hibari to help Ibari and they sneak into the meeting. Ibari reveals his wife named all four of their children, Tsugumi, Tsubame, Hibari, and Suzume after birds found in the park and refuses to let it be demolished. Ibari almost burns the album but Hibari stops him. Ibari explained Hibari's mother gave him the album so he would always remember his youthful memories, even his memories of another woman. Hibari decides to start an album with pictures of Kousaku, which almost gives Ibari a heart attack, but not quite. Kousaku mourns his mother in private. (Source: Wikipedia)
