Ohara!

Oi, Ohara! You still crying? Hurry and help out!

With someone like you, it's the same whether you're here or not.

Someone with a cold's a bother.

I'll quit!

I'll quit from the store!

Ohara Zensaku Kobayashi Kaoru

I cried and cried and cried...

...and then, when the tears had finally stopped...

...I made my way home.

It's hot...

Bear with it. You mustn't get a chill when you've got a cold.

Here!

Ah, want a cup of tea? A cup of tea.

I'll make it and come back. Wait for me!

It's heavy...

I want to quit that store.

I want to quit and go back to the Girl's School.

Ah... I did such a foolish thing.

Itoko-neechan has a cold?

That's right. A cold...

She worked herself too hard.

Look, Mom.

Huh?

I told you this yesterday...

What was it?

You've forgotten? About the kimono.

Ah... You did say something about that.

I really want that kimono.

No.

Eh? Why?

We can't buy an expensive kimono such as that just for you.

They have to be patiently passed down to you and Kyoko and Mitsuko.

Itoko-neechan has it good.

Itoko-neechan gets to wear new kimonos...

...and gets to do everything she likes.

"I want to quit Girl's School," and she gets to quit.

"I want to work," and she gets to work.

Rather than be envious of her...

...you should learn from your sister's example.

Eh?

Rather then grumbling to me...

...you should go to your father and ask, "Please buy me a kimono," and lower your head.

I couldn't do such a thing.

Doing the things she likes, huh...

It may seem like it's easy.

But women are unnecessary.

It's tough for them.

Your sister is great.

If there's something she wants to do, she gets it done all by herself.

She just won't admit to defeat.

I think there may be better ways to get what she wants.

But at least she doesn't just complain about things.

Now, your father will return before long, so come down.

Mom, what's for dinner today?

I'm great...

Onee-chan's a great one!

Ala. You're up.

Ah... I'm starving.

Will you have something to eat?

Yeah!

Hmm!

Hey you.

Put this on.

No, I don't need it.

Don't give me "no."

I'm fine without it.

And this, too!

Wear this. Make sure this is around you.

Will you need another day off from from the store tomorrow?

I can go and tell them.

No.

I'll be going tomorrow.

Itadakimasu!

Study. You're going there to study.

You're right.

Huh?

You're right, Dad.

I think it's best I do go there to study.

That's the first time I've heard that coming from you.

That's true, but it's the first time I really felt like saying it.

Huh?!

What are you saying?!

Yeah, I'm going to study!

When the windows are opened, the stale air inside...

...is replaced by the morning breeze, isn't it?

Wiping the desks until they're bright and clean gives you such a good feeling.

Ah...

Yo!

You over your cold already?

Yes. I feel all better.

I see...

Well...

C'mere a minute.

Yes...

Some candy!

Thank you.

The scary person was now giving me candy.

Up, down, up, down...

If I wiped side-to-side after wiping up and down, I wouldn't leave any dirt behind.

If I waited a little while for the tea...

Work Notebook

...that made it more delicious.

For tea, cover with lid and wait three minutes

Putting my mind to it...

...there was a mountain of things for me to learn.

Okay!

I've gotten even more wisdom like this.

If I can keep on building up my wisdom...

...maybe I can decrease that ten years some.

With today...

Ten...

Six days.

After nine years...

Three hundred...

Forty...

...and nine days left!

It'll be okay.

I'm definitely getting closer to that sewing machine.

Are you that happy about that?

Eh?

Ah, good morning!

You seem really happy about polishing that.

Yes! That's because I love this sewing machine!

Shall I tell you something good?

Eh?

This thing here...

Yes.

...it's played around with at night.

Eh?

Someone's playing around with it?

No, not that!

I'm not saying this thing is being played around with by some other person.

I'm saying that when no one's around, you could "play around" with it.

If you were to play around with it then, no one would get angry.

Eh?

Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Well...

Could you mean...

...that after everyone's gone home...

...it'd be okay for me to practice with it?

Yeah.

Eh?! Ah, are you sure?!

Eh! Eh?!

I see...

So the other day, when Yamaguchi-san was so eager to make me go home...

I'll do the rest of the washing. You hurry on home!

Yes...

So long, I'm off first.

Yeah!

So that's what was going on, huh...

Oi!

Leave the rest up to me, so you hurry on home!

Oi!

Hurry and go, I said!

Yamaguchi-san!

Huh?

Um...

I... After you've finished with it...

...please let me use the sewing machine.

Eh...

You've already gotten permission from the Big Boss?

Yes.

He said it was okay for me to use the sewing machine at night.

What is this?

I wasn't allowed to touch the sewing machine for a year. How did you manage it after only a month?

Geh... I feel ill!

Oi!

Here.

At last! Thank you.

Ah, to home, to home. I'm cold and hungry.

Thanks for your hard work.

Oi, make sure you lock up.

Yes.

Thank you so much...

...for waiting for me.

Even so...

...it was surprisingly quick, wasn't it?

Since I was just told about it by the Big Boss today...

...I don't have anything for you to sew.

Starting tomorrow though, I'll bring a ton of things.

And then...

...I'll get Grandma to make me onigiris for the nights.

That way I can stay as late as I want.

Let's work together.
