She's so cute! She's looking!

13th September, the same day as Ayumu's birthday.

A cute baby girl was born to Momo and Akira.

Congratulations, Momo. You gave it your best!

Thanks.

Haruko, Kataro, Kintaro, Momotaro, Momonoko, Akiramomo, Morinoko...

Yes!

This is the one!

Matsuda.. Momotaro?

Uh, I'm not so sure...

Misato...

So, you don't think Momotaro is better?

Oh really?

I'm glad they finally decided on a name!

How do you do, Misato?

"From here,"

"Your story begins,"

"The road goes on and on."

"If the rainbow-coloured rain pours down,"

"The sky will come alive."

"Behind your radiant smile,"

"There's a sorrowful sound."

"Next to each other with the present,"

"Like this is sweet."

"If we clasped hands, it would be warm,"

"If you hate it, we'll go our own ways."

"One by one, you'll become your own,"

"The road goes on."

Winter, 1933. 8th Year of the Showa Era.

How do you do.

Three months had passed.

Yes?

Hello, Miss Muraoka.

How do you do. Chief Urushibaya, how do you do.

Looks like a lot of revisions to the script today too.

There's just a little bit left.

Please switch today's script with this.

Huh.. I talked to Kurosawa earlier,

This is the script for today...

In the week you've been in charge of it,

You've chosen too many easygoing stories!

For your own publicity,

You've been picking up nothing but amusing stories,

Isn't it? That's not...

Please make this this news for today.

Can't this news wait for tomorrow?

There's no time left.

You could read it as it is, couldn't you?

I'll see you afterwards. Until then.

I can't. I'm not going to read this to the children.

Hanako wouldn't be defeated.

Small people of the country, how do you do.

It's time for everyone's newspaper.

In Manchuria, assisting the soldiers working there,

There are various brave army dogs.

The other day, I spoke of

These army dogs as well,

But from this April,

For five years, the dogs will be raised one by one.

There, at the school for army dogs,

She changed the script again?

..Yes.

In Gongzhuling, Manchuria,

The intelligent and courageous dogs...

I'm home.

Hanako, welcome back.

Did something happen?

Akira collapsed.

Huh..

Akira was constantly coughing and his temperature wouldn't go down,

So when they examined him in hospital,

They found he had tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis?

They said they won't really know if he's not hospitalised and monitored.

But, it doesn't look good.

What...

Sis, would you be able to look after Misato for a while?

Of course I can. Thank you.

Momo, you don't have to hold back with me.

Thank you.

Being together with Akira,

And blessed with a precious baby like this...

Why is it only Momo

Who has to go through such sorrow now?

We'll pray for Akira to recover as soon as possible.

Yeah.

Misato...

You just had your milk,

And I changed your diaper...

Hanako.

Welcome home.

She's crying energetically, huh?

Yeah, she was being good until just then though.

Misato, I brought a friend today.

A friend?

Look!

Heh! How cute! How come you got it?

I didn't realise it was following me,

And I had to take it home. Huh!

Look!

Should we keep it at home?

Misato agrees too!

What about a name?

Hey, what about Teru? Teru?

He'll clear up Misato's tears in the blink of an eye,

So he's the Teru Teru Bosu, Teru!

'Teru Teru Bosu': Dolls for good weather

The Teru Teru Bosu, Teru?

That's good!

The Muraoka family welcomed a new face.

"We're worried about Akira."

"Hana, I know you're busy,"

"But please help Momo out."

"If there's something worrying,"

"Tell us right away! We'll come over anytime."

"From Pa and Ma."

Sis? Good afternoon!

Misato, it's your Mum!

Moving away for his health?

The doctor said he should be treated somewhere the air is better

For about two years.

I want to accompany Akira too.

I think Akira will rest easy if you go with him.

Yeah.

But, it's easy for a baby to contract it,

So the doctor said she shouldn't be around until he's better.

I'm very sorry Misato,

But now, I want to be close to Akira.

I couldn't take my last husband to the doctor...

So I want to do as much as I can for Akira.

Until Akira's discharged, could I ask you to care for Misato?

You can, for as long as you need.

I'm really sorry for the trouble.

Not at all.

Misato, isn't that great?

Sis.

I've always wanted to apologise to you.

Huh?

When I just arrived in Tokyo,

I.. said some horrible things to you, didn't I?

There's no way that my lucky sister will understand.

I assumed you always had an easy life,

Never having to go through those miserable feelings,

But I was wrong.

You had so many painful memories I didn't know about,

And had shed so many tears.

I was jealous, and didn't realise those things.

Coming from a poor family I realise that you must want

To use, 'Gokigenyo' deliberately.

But there are people it suits and people it doesn't!

Is that so?

Life doesn't always go smoothly.

For all people,

I want them to be able to hear a wish for health and safety tomorrow,

At the end of the program.

So then, everyone.

Until then, farewell.

Until then.

At that time, the phrase of your 'Gokigenyo'

Went straight to my heart,

Until I felt warm inside.

Despite that, I've never apologised honestly...

I'm sorry!

Surely I should be sorry,

For not being able to understand your feelings.

I'm sorry.

Sis...

I won't have those miserable thoughts at all anymore!

Being able to cross pathes with someone kind like Akira,

And being blessed with a brother and sister,

And Misato being born healthily to us.

I'll truly be able to look after Akira everyday.

I'm truly lucky.

And it's thanks to you, sis.

Momo...

Momo, don't worry about Misato.

Please care for Akira well.

Yes, thank you very much.

Momo, it'll be okay.

I'm sure Akira will get better.

Thank you.

And so, Momo entrusted Misato to Hanako and Eiji,

And turned towards Akira's treatment.

Until then, farewell.
