## Plot

Our young general, Yuichi Tanuma, is the only son of the sukiyaki shop "Tanohisa". He is a fourth-year student at Keinan University and a captain of the marathon club. I am busy training ahead of the autumn all-Japan marathon. After seeing the manager Eguchi's remittance from his parents' house stopped and weakening, Yuichi lived in "Tanohisa" and let him work part-time. One day, a young general who went to Ginza and Ishiyama of the bourgeoisie, who was touched by a baton as a manager, helped Sumiko Nakazato, a female clerk of a metro sports equipment store, from the Kaminari tribe, and Ishiyama who fell in love with Sumiko at a glance was 4 million yen. I ordered a motor boat. On the other hand, Eguchi, who works at "Tanohisa", was struck by the younger sister Teruko. Knowing this, the young general breaks the matchmaking of Teruko, who was set up by his father, and connects the two. General Ao rolled in there saying he was disowned by spending too much pocket money. Knowing that Sumiko was in trouble because General Ao did not pay the balance of the boat, General Waka paid it. It's money that a generous grandmother secretly withdrew her father's bank deposit. However, it was disowned and the young general was disowned. Summer vacation has come and the training camp has begun on the shores of Lake Ashi. On the night of the moonlight, Sumiko and the young general's boat, who came to work at a nearby hotel, drew a ripple of love. The young general who won the water skiing contest receives a prize of 100,000 yen from the sponsor's president daughter Miyuki, but Sumiko misunderstood the relationship between the young general and Miyuki because it became the top article of a malicious weekly magazine. In reality, he turned away from his favorite young general and had a date with general blue. Eventually, the day of the All Japan Marathon Tournament came. The young general's legs were heavy from the start due to the pain of his broken heart with Sumiko. However, with the desperate cheers of Sumiko, father, and Oriki, who knew that everything was a misunderstanding, the young general raised the pitch fiercely and jumped into the goal.
