Serial TV Story

This way!

Ah, that way?

Yes!

One hundred pieces?!

It's okay not to take work like that!

Right now I want to choose work that helps the Ohara Dry-goods store.

What's that?

If I don't choose absurd work like this...

...then the seven of us can't eat!

How selfish!

I understand!

I completely understand your logic!

Look, you do this by yourself until it's done.

This is a Rokyoku - narrative singing accompanied by a samisen and popular during the first half of the 20th century; this one is titled "Jiro Chouden"

Suruga no kuni ni The country of Suruga

Cha no kaori Fragrant with the scent of teas

What my Dad had said was reasonable.

But, I wasn't wrong, either.

This was fine.

So that it wouldn't cause trouble for our family, I will complete those one hundred patches!

Meishokoseki no And steeped in historic sites

It's okay if you hurry on to bed. He won't let you help her anyhow.

Some onigiri...

Hurry and take them. Hurry.

Won't he get angry?

He won't get angry!

If that glutton Itoko doesn't eat her meal...

...she'll die from that work.

Eh?!

Eat these.

Thank you.

Ah... These have been sewn, right? Shall I fold them?

No. I still have to iron them.

Look, I could take them upstairs and do that.

Thank you.

Hey!

Don't do unnecessary things!

Yes... I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I was wrong in getting such work for her.

Don't cry. Okay!

Even so...

...I really only wanted to help Itoko-neechan out with her dressmaking.

The shopgirls at that department store seemed really happy wearing the clothes we had sewn...

...so I thought it was really good work to be in.

Me, too!

I thought we should do more such work, too!

Me, too!

Even so, you guys really remember that time.

When not many people in society would wear Western clothing.

And so Itoko-neechan wasn't allowed to work on them.

Right? That was a problem.

But now...

...more people out in society are wearing Western clothes.

What should we do then?

Mom, what should we do?

Well...

What should we do?

At that time...

...a hot battle was brewing on the floor below.

I was sewing patches alone.

Grandma was there, wanting to help me.

Dad was watching over me saying, "I won't let you."

Grandma intended to jump in and help me...

...the moment Dad nodded off...

...so she kept staring at Dad with a wonderfully intense eye.

One a.m.

Surprisingly, Grandma was readily defeated.

Dad rejoiced.

But then he suddenly noticed...

...that his sworn enemy had already collapsed into sleep, too?!

Itoko.

You idiot!

Itoko!

What about the patches?!

Itoko!

Itoko!

Hot, hot!

Hot!

Like I thought...

...Dad didn't think I had it in me.

However...

...as night turned into morning...

...that was when I made a full recovery!

I had sewn those one hundred patches all by myself!

Moreover!

Get them done?

Ah... yeah, they're done.

Lemme see!

Yes...

Well, this was where the real match would be.

You...

Eh?

Aren't these too narrow?

Eh?!

Eh, that...

Ah, you can't get a foot into them!

Ah, no! What'll I do? What'll I do!?

Wha... what'll we do?

Say, what'll we do?

What's with the "What'll I dos?"

Oi, you'll just have to redo them!

Ah...

Ma. Wake up Chiyo and the other children.

Hurry! Hurry!

Chiyo! Chiyo! Hey, Shizuko! Hurry and wake up!

Oi, Chiyo!

In the end, Mom and my sisters jumped to their feet...

...and, along with Dad and Grandma, we split up the sewing...

...and redid all of it.

Thank you! You really did make them in time!

Ah, thank goodness.

You're really young but you're a skilled craftsman.

This is a store that will surely prosper!

No, no, I still have a long ways to go yet.

I was frazzled from losing the match.

Here, please make certain of your fee.

Thank you! Excuse me!

Huh?

Eh?

There's a mistake here, isn't there?

It's what I promised.

Promised?

What kind of promise was it?

That if you made them in time, I'd double the payment.

Doubled?!

Yeah...

Ala?

Ah! It might be that in the huge rush yesterday...

...I forgot to mention that.

Ah... Well, it's probable that when it came to the fee...

...that just flew out of my head at the time, too.

Well, that's true!

Well... That was the amount of money I intended to pay from the start, so...

Thank you! Thank you for coming! Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Ow!

Fool!

Why?

What's this about not finding out what the payment would be?!

You're still far too naive.

And you're still barely half-way to becoming a merchant.

Here.

Good afternoon!

Welcome!

I guess...

...I'll have the Sakuramochi.

Sakuramochi - Rice cake with bean paste wrapped in a cherry leaf

Hmm... I'll have a Sakuramochi, too!

I'll have some Mitarashi!

Mitarashi dango - dumplings on a skewer soaked in soy sauce and sugar

Ah... what should I get?

What should you get? It's rare to see all four of you in here.

Hmm!

Dad gave me a tip!

A tip?

I guess I'll have a Kantsuba!

Kantsuba - a sweet made from dough twined around bean paste or sweet potato

Kantsuba, huh?

In that case, let's see...

You wanted two Sakuramochi and a Mitarashi and...

Nii-chan, can we get some Kushidango?

Kushidango - skewered dango

You can get two. One each.

Mitsu-chan, what was it you wanted?

I want the Kantsuba!

Ah, Kanstuba, huh?

Oh! Hey! Oi!

Hey, Ito-chan, chase after them!

No way. That's too much trouble. Go after them yourself!

Eh...

Geez!

Ah, hey!

It was now April...

Shizuko had started working for a company.

So long, I'm off.

Do your best.

It's essential your first day go without a hitch...

In the end, though my sister had been eager to help me...

...she had to be hired out.

I'm off!

Get going!

Get going!

Inside the store, we still didn't have any idea of what to do with it...

Men's Appappa For Sale

Winter Appappa For Sale

...and both Dad and I...

...were still deeply submerged in who would lose our match.

Shizu-chan, have a nice day!

I'm off!
