You can't go to Kobe!

What'll I do...

Get going!

Eh? But...

We'll take care of things afterwards.

Don't worry.

Kobe

You've come! It was cold, wasn't it?

Matsusaka Home

Whaa!

This is an expensive sewing machine!

Ahh!

People from your Grandpa's company brought it in a little while ago.

Whaa!

Excuse me.

Put it there, please.

I've gotten your nightclothes together...

...but if there's anything else you need, you'll tell me, right?

Yeah. Thank you, Grandma.

Oh no, I need to get to work right away!

Huh?!

To work already?

Let's have some hot chocolate together.

No, I've gotta hurry!

What the...

Can't be helped.

Forgive me!

You've come.

Ah, Grandpa, welcome home!

How's that sewing machine?

It's a really good one!

Yeah.

Grandpa, thank you very much!

I see, I see.

Ah, dinner should be in just a little longer.

Hang in there.

Yeah.

Then in he came in a rush...

...looking for a sewing machine that wasn't in use.

But since he was so unexpected...

...there weren't any at all available for use.

Eh... And then what?

Couldn't be helped; he issued a "Presidential Order," directive.

"Anyhow, this is important, so someone free up their sewing machine," he said.

Just like your father!

But you're tricky, Grandpa!

Why's that?

I asked if I could use the car the other day, but you said it could only be used by company people.

That's just a pastime of yours...

It was fun having a delicious dinner with Grandpa and the rest...

...but I was more worried about my home.

What is it, Itoko? Is there something wrong?

No.

I see.

Her head's just filled with her work.

Ah, I see!

Just like her Grandpa!

Mom... are you okay...

Itoko-sama.

Yes?

It is your sister, Shizuko-sama.

Eh...

Excuse me a moment.

Shizuko?

More than likely it's about her Nee-chan's boyfriend, isn't it?

Hello...

Nee-chan, come home!

Why?

It's really serious here! Dad is...

Shizuko told me that after I had come to Kobe...

...Dad had told me to return.

Huh?

What's that?! She went to Kobe!?

What's this about, Chiyo?!

Ah, I made her go.

You did?!

Do you understand what you've done?!

Stop it!

Out of the way, you two!

We won't!

Before you hit Chiyo...

...hit me first.

I'm the one who told her to go.

No, but Mother, I also told her to go...

Don't say unnecessary things right now!

Yes...

And then, a little later, Grandma came down to the store.

Dad had taken all the fabric from the store and gone out somewhere.

Ala?

Grandma said that Dad hadn't even returned by dinnertime.

Well, that's fine.

You guys go ahead and eat.

Then, just as she was saying that...

Oi! I'm back!

In surprisingly good spirits, my Dad had come back.

Dad! You're home!

Dad, welcome home!

Welcome back!

One, two...! Okay!

Good evening!

Whaa! A sewing machine! It's a sewing machine!

You were out getting this?!

Good evening, all of you!

I decided I should buy one.

Can't be the only one left not standing out!

Zen-chan...

...where should we put it? Over there?

No, no.

Here! Right here.

Okay, there!

Okay!

Zen-chan, it's higher up.

Okay!

Here, here!

Ah, here we go!

Whaa!

Okay!

Ah, it's in!

Incredible! A sewing machine!

Banzai!

Whaa!

Banzai!

I'm coming home!

I'll come home on the first train out tomorrow!

Tell this to Dad!

"Itoko is coming back right away!"

I'm sorry...

Don't cry...

Don't cry.

Because...

There's nothing to cry about...

Thank you.

Take care.

Yeah...

Look.

Huh?

Tell Grandpa and Grandma, "I'll come again, so cheer up."

I'll tell them.

Well...

...your Grandpa can't help it if he loves you so much.

Yeah!

Thank you.

Come again.

Yeah!

They really are all empty...

Without fabrics to sell...

...what would become of the store...

What's this? You've come back?

Dad, thank you so much for the sewing machine...

What are you doing babbling like that?!

Hurry or you won't get your job done in time!

Ah... That's right!

Good afternoon.

Welcome!

Ah, welcome.

Your daughter's fine clothes have come in.

Can you make do with so little?

Sorry it's so noisy.

Itoko! We have a customer.

Stop the sewing machine!

Yes!

We've now started as a Western dressmaking shop.

Please patronize us from here on.

Hmm...

With the coming of the sewing machine...

...the Western clothing I had been secretly doing on the second floor until then...

...I was now doing openly in the store itself.

My Dad had said, "Do it here."

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Showa 8 (1933)

On January 1st though, with the New Year...

...I still didn't have the goods ready the day before the delivery date.

Without me realizing it, Kansuke had come to help, too.

You guys come eat, too.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Be sure to give your mother and Yaeko-san our thanks, too.

Yeah.

Itoko!

I called for you, too! Don't make Kansuke-chan here wait anymore.

Yeah.

Ah, my neck is so stiff.

And the next thing I knew without realizing it...

...Kansuke was collecting all the waste threads.

They were done.

Twenty uniforms for the Shinsaibashi department store.

So long, we're off.

Be sure and deliver them safely.

Leave it to us.

We're off.

Get going.

Get going.

Ah... Thank goodness. We'll make it in time.

What's that? You're acting like you're the one who made these.

Shinsaibashi Department Store

Ohh...

This is the department store, huh?

Good morning.

Ah, we appreciate your efforts.

Huh?

Ah... I'll wait outside!

Why? Come inside!

That's okay, that's okay. I'm fine out here!

Ah, thank you.

What's with you?

I'm okay, I'm okay.

I had safely supplied the twenty uniforms.

Would the trouble all of us had gone through pay off, I wonder...
