Showa 3 (1928)

Hey! Ito-chan, did you hear that just now?

Huh?

An Uguisu! That was an Uguisu just now!

Uguisu - Japanese nightingale

Eh? An Uguisu?

Where could it be?

In the garden?

Thanks for the food!

Spring had come.

Ohara!

Half a year had passed since I had come to the patch store to study.

Oi, when you're done there, go to the hardware store and buy this.

Yes.

Hey! Put this away!

Yes! I'm sorry!

The time when I was being scolded every day were ending.

Yer so noisy!

Eh?

Damn... that's made me hungry!

Eh? You're done already?

Don't cut your hand off while using the sewing machine!

All right.

Thanks for your hard work.

I could now play around with the sewing machine as much as I wanted.

This was my most favorite time of all.

What should I sew?

Kinomoto Electrical Store

Kinomoto Electrical Store

Hurry, hurry! Here, here!

What could it be?

Songs Sings songs

What's this?

Nee-chan, please ask if this can really sing songs.

Eh?

Ask, ask.

Yeah, ask.

Excuse me!

After Kinomoto-san has started his electrical store, he had found a wife...

...but his wife was scary...

Kinomoto Satsuko

...so we didn't feel comfortable coming into his store anymore.

Um... Does this really sing?

Whaa!

It's singing!

Ah! Welcome!

Great, isn't it? Right?

It's really interesting. Is this electrical, too?

No, this doesn't run on electricity. This is a music box.

That's different from electricity?

Yeah.

When will you get electricity?

I'd like to put in electrical goods myself...

...but they're very expensive, so I can't get them easily.

What about that? Um... the radio!

The radio, huh!

Kinomoto Eisaku

About that! I thought about putting in a radio, too, but they're too expensive.

Kinomoto's Electrical Store still didn't have any electrical goods in it.

The Ohara Dry-goods Store on the other hand...

This dragonfly pattern is also popular.

It wasn't making a profit, but it also didn't look like it would fold anytime soon, either.

After I had started working, one thing did change though...

Ah, Dad.

Collecting money?

That's right.

Want me to go?

Fool. Who'd ask you?

It was that my Dad was now going around collecting money himself.

Ohara!

Yes!

Starting at noon, I'll teach you how to cut fabric.

Eh? To cut?! Really?

Hey, isn't that just a little too soon for her?

What is?

Well, well...

...I've been here two years and you just told me the other day you'd teach me how to do that...

...so why is she already cutting... Ow!

Because you don't put in the effort she does.

Ohara here isn't the blockhead you are and exerts herself far more than you do.

If you've got the free time to be jealous, exert yourself, exert yourself!

What are you laughing at!?

Itoko's Grandfather Matsuzaka Seizaburō

Hold the scissors lightly!

Straight, straight... Straight.

Straight.

I've told you over and over!

Yes.

That's it...

It's crooked!

Yes!

Go and buy some sweets from around here and bring them...

Ten or even twenty of them will be fine. Get going and hurry!

Yes!

My, my!

My, my, my, my!

No, no, no...

I'm sorry for asking for so much.

No, no. When her grandfather comes all this way to see her...

...she should eat all the good things she can.

I'm really very sorry.

Ah, I should at least fill the bucket with water for the noodles.

Don't bother!

I'll tell Yamaguchi-kun to do that.

Thank you.

So long everyone.

Well then, please excuse us.

Goodbye.

I'll be here first thing tomorrow morning.

Osaka, Shinsaibashi

Romance Hall

Huh? What's this "fruit punch?"

Huh?

Three-color ice-cream?

Ice cream in three colors?

Excuse me.

We'll have the Fruit punch and three-color ice cream.

Eh, is all that okay?

Yeah.

Eh?!

Is there anything else you want?

Eh, what else is there? Just a minute... Let's see...

This... This...

Ho... Ho...

Hotcakes.

That's it!

Ah, some hotcakes as well.

And I'll have some coffee.

Certainly. Please wait just a moment.

How is it? Any good?

Delish!

"Delish!" huh? Really?

Ah, that's nice.

My apron isn't as fluffy as that.

And, Itoko, how's it going?

Huh?

Look, your job at the patch store.

Yeah.

It's TONS of fun!

Really...

Yeah.

Hmm...

It was difficult at first...

...but I'm used to it now.

I was told for the first time today that I'd be taught how to cut fabric.

It looked easy when I was watching it, but it's difficult when I tried.

As soon as I cut it crooked...

...I get thwocked with a ruler!

Let me have a little look.

No, it's no big deal.

Itoko...

Huh?

What is it, Grandpa?

Won't you come with me?

Huh?

Well...

...we still use a lot of sewing machines at my company.

If you want to work with sewing machines so much...

...I'll hire you.

Okay? Come to Kobe.

Come be with Grandpa.

You can use the sewing machines there as much as you like.

How about it?

Thank you, Grandpa.

Really?

It's nice of you...

...but that's okay.

Why?

Why, I wonder?

This way's best for my studying.

Studying?

Yeah.

Grandpa, I think you'd spoil me and spoil me.

And then I wouldn't be able to learn much, would I?

But, everyone at that store now doesn't spoil me...

...and is always scolding me frantically.

I get frazzled...

...but I think I learn desperately that way, too.

When I've studied my utmost and become full-fledged, then I'll go to Grandpa's.

You... Who do you take after?

Huh?

Which of your fool parents...

...do you take after...

...that you can say such great things?

For pete's sake.

Hmm...

My Grandpa!

No...

You've got a silver tongue in you...

Natsu!

You should come make your greetings, too.

No.

Just come in for a little while.

I don't want to.

Why don't you want to?

Even Kansuke-chan and the Ohara child have come.

You went to grade school together, didn't you?

Just come and make your greetings at least. Come on now.

No!

If I say I won't, I won't! I won't go greet them even until I die!

What's this? Why are you crying?

I hate it! Hate it!

I hate it!

I really don't understand that girl.

What can she be crying about...

April 12th, an auspicious day.

In Yoshida-ya's banquet hall, the wedding ceremony for Taizō-niichan was being held.

Yasuoka Taizō

Takasago ya kono Urafune ni ho o agete We Takasago hoist our sails in this Urafune

Kono Urafune ni ho o agete We hoist our sails in this Urafune

With this spring weather...

...it made for a truly fine day.
