Serial TV Story

Over there, that's Nakamura Harutarō, isn't it?

He's brought a young girl with him again.

That young girl is a fool being deceived by him.

Anyhow...

...it's a fact she'll be crying before long.

So long, we're leaving.

Thank you! Thank you very much!

She's cute!

Thank you very much for coming!

Harutarō-sama, we look forward to having you again!

Natsu...

Eh? Someone you know?

One of my classmates.

Don't do it, Natsu! Don't follow a man like that!

Calm down... calm down.

Why? He's a bad guy, isn't he?

That's true, but here's not the place to say that.

Now's no good. Right! Just leave it alone.

But this is bad! She might be crying! Natsu!

Ala?

This isn't a situation where I should be worried about someone else.

I have to talk to Dad about the sewing machine!

I'm home!

Welcome back!

Come here, come here, wait, wait!

What is it?

Something up?

What?

Do you have some complicated story to tell your father again?

How did you know?

It's written on your face.

Don't do it! Your father's in a foul mood today.

There's never a time when he's in a good mood!

Dad!

No!

I haven't said anything yet.

Even if you don't say it, I know.

Whenever you lose your temper, that's when you've got some no-good idea.

I want to buy a sewing machine.

You're a fool.

Where am I supposed to get money for that?

Not from you, Dad!

Huh?

From my Kobe Grandma.

What?

I've been quiet about it so far...

...but I was over at Kinomoto-san's place the other day...

...when Negishi-sensei was holding her class.

But she said can't teach me about how to use a sewing machine.

But I do want to learn much more about dressmaking. I do, but...

But I have to buy one of their sewing machines first.

I happened to meet my Kobe Grandma in Shinsaibashi today...

...and after talking to her, Grandma said, "I'll buy you a sewing machine."

What's that?

Shinsaibashi?

A sewing machine?

Kobe?!

What are you doing sneaking around your parent's back for!?

Wait, stop that.

Are you taking me for a fool?!

Making fun of me?! That I'm an idiot?!

I'm not taking you for a fool!

I just want to learn Western dressmaking!

To learn dressmaking, I...

Dad wouldn't give me his permission.

I no longer had... hope or dreams.

But...

...I did have the festival!

The festival had come again this year!

Whatever else happened, the festival was sure to come!

That was very welcome!

Sōrya, Sōrya, Sōrya, Sōrya!

Taizō-niichan had retired from the Carpenters the year before.

His mother could at last watch without fainting away.

Neighborhood Hairsylist Shop Yasuoka Tamae

Watching the Danjiri, I felt a fool for worrying about such things.

Look, your father's come.

Yasuoka Taizō

Yasuoka Yaeko

Hmpf!

Wait right here for me.

Natsu! Natsu!

Hold on!

You shouldn't be with that kabuki actor!

Yoshida Natsu

Huh?

You met him the other day in Shinsaibashi, didn't you?

That man with the really funny way of talking!

What's this? That has nothing to do with you.

My Grandma told me, "That man'll deceive her."

"He'll definitely make her cry."

Hmpf! Your Grandma?

Your Grandmother wouldn't know Harutarō-sama, now would she?

The Grandma I'm talking about isn't the Grandma I live with.

I have another Grandma who lives in Kobe...

...and they're very rich and know lots of celebrities.

You're a liar! There's no way you could have such a rich Grandmother.

It's true! Really and truly.

That Grandma told me, "That man will deceive her."

Be quiet!

Save all your bossy talk!

What is this?

You don't work and so you just drift around!

What's that?

I'm studying to become a fine proprietress. I'll be 100 times better than you!

What?! Tell me that one more time!

I'll say it as much as you want! You're just a good-for-nothing!

And you just sponge off your parents!

What's going on?!

Oi!

Fool!

You're the fool!

Oi! Stop it!

Kyaa!

I hate this!

Um...

I'm the patch seller who put Itoko-san to work.

Yes... Ah!

Hello there!

I'm truly sorry about Ito-chan and all.

Patch Store Owner Masuya Kōkichi

No.

I know full well myself how really cruel this depression is.

I've been wondering what she'll do from here on.

I feel it's my duty to say this...

...but I really do envy you for having a daughter like Ito-chan.

No, no.

For all practical purposes, she's hopeless.

She just comes up with one strange thing after the next...

No, no...

She has a promising future.

No...

It's true.

She surpasses all the craftsmen I've hired until now.

It's such a waste that she's a woman.

Both her skills and her head will serve her well into the future.

Her kimono dry-goods store parents may feel trapped by them...

...and, while Ito-chan can get overly excited about them...

...I do think Western clothes will become main-stream in time.

Your own business may not be having good times...

...and you're starting to get up in years...

...but having such a reliable child hanging around you like that...

...is a good thing!

Thank you for saying that.

If Ito-chan were my daughter...

...I'd quickly leave my store to her.

She'd make it far more profitable than I ever could.

Hairsylist Shop Yasuoka

Ah, found it. This is Nakamura Harutarō!

This! This is the guy!

Nakamura Harutarō Advice on the Modern Way

Lemme see, lemme see. Ah, what a handsome man!

Well, Oba-chan, he's a really bad guy, isn't he?

Well, dunno if he's bad or not, but he is handsome!

Well, if I were younger, I'd go out and have some laughs with him.

You need to preach to Natsu about him. Please, Oba-chan.

Yes, I should.

Well, I'm not so great that I get to talk with handsome men all that much.

Hello there.

Oh, hello there!

What is it?

Um...

That thing that was here the other day.

Huh?

That great thing...

That women! Sewing machines! Tell me.

Huh?

How can I meet that sewing machine Sensei? How can I?!

Ah, this is about Negishi-sensei!?

Yeah!

Is she...

...in Shinsaibachi right now?

That's right. She's a Lecturer on Stinger sewing machines in Shinsaibachi.

Hmm...

Are you going to do that?

Do you know where it is?

Yeah, I know. I go to Shinsaibashi once a week.

Shinsaibashi is sooo interesting! They have unusual stores there!

Take me there.

Oh, let's go, let's go! Right away.

Not right away!

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow... take me to this Stinger sewing machine place.

Tomorrow, huh?

Ah, I really can't tomorrow.

Never mind that and take me!

I want to put those old clothes up for sale.

By tomorrow, have them all mended and ready to go.

Yes...

The next day.

Dad did something unusual, saying he had a mountain of work to do...

Ah, ah!

G'morning!

G'morning!

Kinomoto-san and he were going out somewhere.

Osaka, Shinsaibashi

Here it is. If we enter straight through there...

...there's some wonderful shops in there. Let's go!

No! The sewing machine store first.

Oh, here it is!

Stinger Sewing Machine Sales Store, 2nd Floor inside Lessons on Sewing With a Sewing Machine

You ask for her.

Huh?

You go ask if the Sensei's in.

Why me?

Never mind that and just ask for her!

Ah!

She's in.

Welcome!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon.
