Serial TV Story

I'm thinking of quitting the Girl's School.

Don't mess around with me!

I want to sew Appappas!

I want to work at Masuya Patch Store!

A sewing machine is my Danjiri!

You can quit the Girl's School. It's just to study...

I'm so happy! Ah, I can do it!? Ah! So happy! Ah!

Listen up! It's 100 years too soon...

...for a dumb kid like you to go to work.

You're just going to study.

Director Suenaga Hajime

Eh?! Ohara-san, you're quitting school?

Ohara Itoko

You won't be coming to school anymore?

That's right.

Why, why? Did you do something bad?

Huh? Nothing like that.

Then why are you quitting?

It wasn't for long, but I was under your care.

Showa 2 (1927)

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Take care.

Everyone, thank you for today!

As of today I will be quitting school and going to work at a patch shop!

A patch shop? Why?

I hate to say it...

...but Ohara Dry-Goods Store is having difficulty...

...so I must work.

I will work and work. Everyone in my family has said so.

So long everyone, be well!

Thank you.

My Dad told me especially to tell you.

So long.

Thank you.

Yoshida Natsu

You can have this.

I had finished dealing with quitting the Girl's School...

Hairdresser Yasuoka

...and the day for my setting out was growing increasingly near.

Good afternoon!

Welcome.

Come in, come in.

Neighborhood Hairstylist Shop Yasuoka Tamae

Kansuke's mother had called for me to come over so she could...

... serve me a foreign treat in celebration.

Oba-chan, what's this smell?

Nice, isn't it?

It's the smell of today's treat.

Hmm...

It does smell kinda different.

Kansuke! Ito-chan has come!

Here comes the treat!

All right! I'm starving here already!

A foreign treat? What is it, what is it?

Well, here goes...!

Yeah.

Poof!

Whaa! What's this? Looks really delicious!

It does?

Yasuoka Kansuke

What's with this color and smell?!

You take this and pour it onto rice...

Yeah.

Here!

Ah! Itadakimasu!

Mom, rice alone is fine for me.

What are you saying?! I went to a lot of trouble to make this.

Huh?

It's good. This treat... is delicious!

Told you!

Here.

Try it! It's good!

If you only try a little bit like that, you won't know for sure! Take a big, huge mouthful!

You're a man, aren't you?!

It's good!

Isn't it? It told you so!

It's called "curry," so remember that well!

"Curry"... I won't forget this my whole life.

Can I have seconds?

Ah, I have to set aside a portion for your brother...

...but Ito-chan can have seconds!

All right!

Why's that?!

It's morning.

The day when I would start working at Matsuya Patch Store had come at last.

Second Daughter Ohara Shizuko

G'morning.

Hurry and get up! It's morning already.

G'morning!

Ala, you're up early.

Of course! I'm no longer a Girl's School student, so I can't sleep in late.

Ah, Dad, g'morning!

You aren't going there to work. It's to study.

I know that!

Dad was...

Listen. You study. You're just going to study.

Itoko's Father Ohara Zensaku

Yes, I understand.

He must have repeated "study" to me at least 100 times...

...so I barely made it out in time.

You're just going there to study!

Itoko!

Oi! Study!

What sort of gift did you buy?

It's manju from Tadaoka Shrine.

Whaa!

You went to some effort there!

Because we'll be indebted to them.

Ah... I'm so happy.

Itoko's Mother Ohara Chiyo

I wonder what sort of looks the craftsmen will have when they see me?

I'm positive they'll be delighted.

"Ito-chan, you've really come, huh?!"

I'm sure they'll treat me well.

Yeah.

We're all very happy that you're allowing Ito-chan to work with us.

Patch Store Owner Masuya Kōkichi

Ala, ah... thank you. Thank you!

Ah... Um, I hope this suits your taste...

No, no, Ma'am, you didn't have to do such a thing...

At last!

At last I can work here.

Masuya Patch Store

My chest was so filled with delight!

I was here at last, but...

That's some good manju.

Everyone, I'm back! I'm Ohara Itoko!

I quit Girl's School to come work here!

Let's please get along well together again!

Say, is something wrong?

Has something happened? They aren't saying anything to me.

Huh?

Patch Worker Yamaguchi

Why is everyone so gloomy?

It's nothing. Everyone was like this from the beginning.

No way! Everyone was far more cheerful when I was here the last time!?

Ah. Because back then you were a guest here, so everyone treated you with courtesy...

...but this is how they were otherwise.

Huh? They were?

By the way, you'd better watch your mouth here.

Huh?

From here on, you're low man on the totem pole...

...so make sure you use formal language to me and everyone else.

Eh... Formal language?

But I'm really bad at being polite...

It's not, "really bad at"! It's "poor at."

I'm poor at it.

From here on out, your job'll be to bring in the tea.

Here! Go!

Your tea.

Fool.

Eh?

The Big Boss comes first.

Eh?

There's an order to how tea is served here in the workshop.

You pass it out to the top guys first. Remember that well.

Yes.

Your tea.

Yeah.

Ala? Who's next...

That'd be Sakamoto.

Thank you!

Sakamoto-san, your tea.

Who would be next highest after you, Sakamoto-san?

Patch Worker Sakamoto

Excuse me!

Who would be next highest after Sakamoto-san?

That'd be me.

That'd be me.

Eh?

Me!

Which is it?

Outta the way!

Ehh!

Hey you! Don't ask such troublesome things!

Eh?

Don't mess with me. I've got more years on me than you do!

That's got nothin' to do with it.

Thing is...

I started out here before you did!

Patch Worker Tanaka

Patch Worker Okamura

That was a whole week before me, wasn't it?!

Enough! Stop it!

Those guys, they've been at each other for ten years now.

Be careful!

Yes...

Why am I being scolded?

Once you've finished that, wash the windows.

Hey!

Eh?

That's not how to wipe them!

More top-to-bottom, side-to-side!

Top-to-bottom, side-to-side?

Top, bottom, top, bottom...

...then go side, side, side, side like that.

Yeah...

Be polite! Polite! Where's your answer?!

Yes!

Top, bottom, top, bottom, side, side...

It's lunchtime!

Yes!

Let's go.

Yes.

Dear, thanks for waiting.

Okay, let's eat, let's eat. Let's eat our fill, our fill.

You go later.

Huh?

The lowest underling stays behind and watches over the shop.

Eh?!

Once everyone's finished eating, then it's your turn.

After you're done, wash all the tableware.

Ah...

But I'm so hungry...

Thanks for the food!

Okay, let's go!

Yes!

This is all that's left?

There were so many rules I didn't know about at Matsuya Patch Store...

...like the order tea was served in and cleaning top-to-bottom, side-to-side.

Are you still eating?!

Eh?

You have to eat quickly so you can clean, don't you?!

Ah...

You should know that.

I now totally understood...

...I wasn't coming here to play around, but to work.

That was true, but the biggest surprise and the saddest thing to me was...

Is the sewing machine gonna be used after this?

...er, is it going to be used?

That's right.

Don't touch it! You'll dirty it.

You're...

Ken-chan, right...

It's "Yamaguchi-san"!

Yamaguchi-san, are you gonna use the sewing machine? ...er, going to use it?

Fool.

Eh?

I'm still just a second year apprentice.

It'd be impossible for me to use the sewing machine at this point.

What do you mean?

"What do you mean?" You don't know?

For your first five years as an apprentice, you clean and serve tea.

Then after that, you might at last be allowed to touch it.

By the time you actually get to use the sewing machine...

Well, that'll be about ten years from now.

Eh?!

Didn't you hear me? After ten years!

After ten years?!
