Serial TV Story

I sewed it! I sewed this on a sewing machine!

Why are you helping out at a patch store?

Dad'll get angry.

I'm not doing anything wrong!

You shouldn't stop paying her school tuition fees.

Stay outta that! I know all about that!

Don't you have four daughters to take care of?

Thank you...

Thank you very much!

My father really disliked my Uncle.

Itoko's Uncle Matsuzaka Seiichi

But even so, my Grandpa disliked him even even more.

I was told my Father had been a clerk for a dry-good's shop...

...who used to come to the Matsuzaka home quite a lot long ago.

The young clerk who should have brought the wedding trousseau for his daughter...

...had run off with his daughter instead...

...so it wasn't unreasonable that my Grandpa would dislike my father.

Um...

Huh?

Could you tell Father, "Please wait a little longer for the money," for me?

Dad isn't worried about the money.

He's only worried about you and the children.

Are you all well?

Yeah...

You're not in any need?

No. We want for nothing.

Then that's what I'll tell him.

Yes.

Uncle had been told by Grandpa to come...

Masuya Patch Store

...and make certain we weren't poor, sick...

...skinny as rails and crying all the time.

Take it over there.

Yes!

He really didn't take much notice of anything...

...and, thankfully, would normally leave just as quickly as he had come, but...

Did you know?

Huh?

About Ohara's daughter.

It's a great thing.

What is it?

Thanks to this, Uncle would do something unnecessary...

Oi! Let me off.

Yes!

My Uncle then retraced his steps to come back again.

Yes, here you go.

Itoko!

He's left, he's left already.

Zensaku-kun.

We need to talk.

Then...

...are you saying you didn't know about Itoko going to work?

Yes...

It's embarrassing to say that though.

This is a strange story.

Your daughter, who is going to a Girl's School...

...has, on her own, been working at...

...a tiny shop where she mixes with dirty men...

I find that hard to believe.

Itoko.

Yes?

Aren't you lying?

Eh?

You're lying in order...

...to protect your father, aren't you?

Nothing of the sort.

You really shouldn't have to work at such a place.

But...

...you aren't able to live off of your father's earnings.

He's unable to bring your mother and sisters a life of ease on his own.

And so, because he's worthless, you have to go to work, isn't that it?

Onii-sama.

What is it?

Itoko isn't that praiseworthy a child.

That's true...

Uncle.

I'm not making money.

What?

In exchange for getting to be there, I'm just helping out a little.

I don't understand.

Why would you want to go to such a shop?

To get to use their sewing machine.

Sewing machine?

Yes.

Itoko.

Aren't you going to wash the dishes tonight?

I'll ask you for that today.

Dad.

I should have told you before it was exposed...

...but I want to work at Masuya Patch Store.

Please let me quit the Girl's School!

What's that?!

Stop that!

Please! Please let me go to work!

Quit the Girl's School, huh!

Go to work at some patch store!

Don't mess around with me!

I'm not messing around!

I really want to work!

Have you thought of the hardships I've gone through...

...to get you into that Girl's School?!

I know!

I know that, but even so, I...

I told you not to do that!

Let me go!

Please!

Silence!

Don't say another word!

Let you go to a patch store!

Not even until doomsday!

Ohara-san. Something happen?

Huh?

Do you want some of my potatoes?

No...

I guess I will have some.

Taizō-niichan, welcome back.

Yasuoka Taizō

Yo.

What happened?

I got this from my Dad.

I see...

Yeah.

Want to look at the Danjiri?

No.

I've...

I've found my own Danjiri.

Huh?

It's a sewing machine.

I...

I will ride on that Danjiri.

Definitely.

Good.

And I just got this in.

And this just came in from Oshima.

Ehh... Thanks for this!

Thanks for the business.

Oh... thanks for the business.

Sorry for keeping you waiting. I'm just so busy.

How's the business doing?

Ever since those runs on the bank recently, it's been hand-to-mouth.

Preparations for a wedding, huh...

How about this?

No, no, no, these cheap goods won't do...

...let me see your choicest goods.

It's for my very best customer's daughter's wedding preparations.

Price is no object here.

Well, I could show them to you...

...but my bosses won't sell them to you on credit.

Eh?

You can't sell them on credit?

That's right.

What's that about?!

We're patiently riding things out. That's how the business really is right now.

With all these financial crises cases and those shirking their payments...

...those who handle their business carelessly will be out of them before too long.

That's it! That's it! That's it!

Be careful!

Billiards

Oh, thanks!

What are you doing?

Eh?

Kinomoto Electrical Shop

As you can see, I'm renovating my store.

What are you going to be selling this time around?

Eh?

It'll be an electrical goods shop.

Electrical goods?

Just you watch, I'll become hugely successful.

Kinomoto Eisaku

I may even become a millionaire...

...and have a wife, too, before long!

How nice for you.

Eh? For what?

You're so at ease.

I'm not at ease!

I got no money, no wife and my life's a total disaster!

I envy you. So long.

Come buy!

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Dad.

We need to talk.

Outta the way!

What I told you wasn't halfhearted!

I really want to work at that patch store!

Disappear!

What happened? Something break?

I was scared...

But I had said it.

If I could say it once, I could say it twice.

Dad.

Please let me work at Masuya Patch Store!

Stop that!

I said "Stop that," didn't I?

Hey!

If I could say it twice, I could say it three times.

Oi.

Don't do this now.

Dad...

...let me work at Masuya Patch...

You're bothering me!

I'm right in the middle of an important conversation!

Do this later, later!

These are my true feelings!

Never mind that. I told you "outta the way," didn't I?

I really want to work there!

I told you "No" already! No means no!

Dad! Dad!

But, I had a long ways to go yet.

Listen to me!

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Dear.

Hmm?

Just a quick look, okay?

Yeah.

With an innocent face, just take a quick peek inside.

All right. Let's go.

Peek!

Did you see Ito-chan?

Patch Store Shopkeeper Masuya Kōkichi

I did.

Really? You got a good look?

Well, I couldn't see much; the store's too dark inside.

Then let's go by one more time.

Let's go.

Peek.

That was no good!

Next time, let's go a little slower.

If we go by too often, they'll spot us!

Won't matter if they do spot us.

We haven't met any of them but Ito-chan.

We're just taking a peek to see if she's okay!

That's true. Okay!

In that manner, the owner and his wife...

...passed in front of my house over and over again.

I wanted to meet them, but...

...I couldn't just yet.

Wait for me. I'm doing my best.
