Serial TV Story

"I don't need money." "You're happiness alone is enough."

By saying such things, I thought I was behaving wonderfully.

But, thinking it over, I wondered why it was so easy for me to say that...

And... Did you collect the money owed you at last today?

Eh?

How much money did you collect today?

Forgive me!

What is it?

I didn't get anything.

Eh?!

Such a thing is a part of business.

I got all of them back.

It's still a hundred years too early for you to be in business!

Yes...

I'll find some outside work for you again.

Then learn everything about...

...running a store from them!

Western Clothing Made

Western Clothing Made

So saying, the one my Dad found for me...

...was at a men's apparel store...

Royal Men's Apparel

...in a neighboring town.

Ah, you on the side, get in there, too.

Ah... yes.

Then I'm taking it. Yes!

Please come again!

Compared to women's wear...

...men's style of Western clothing had already made considerable inroads across society...

...so this store was flourishing nicely.

Somehow I guess, these Western clothes...

...just don't fit me right.

Well, you just aren't used to putting them on yet.

This boss was... well anyway, he was a bit full of himself...

Thanks for your hard work.

Re-do this.

Is it too thin?

What?

Just re-do it!

But... Unless you tell me what was wrong with it...

Never mind that and re-do it!

Thanks for your hard work.

Perhaps it was because of the Boss...

...but everyone gave off a bad feeling while they were working...

"As a newcomer and, whats more, a woman worker..."

"...they won't be talking to you!" he said.

Still, there was one person...

Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you.

He was an extremely friendly person.

I wonder what his name was?

Perhaps... Mu... Murata?

Oi, Kawamoto!

Yes.

Ah, it's Kawamoto.

Side dishes... Side dishes!

I'm home!

Welcome home!

Welcome back.

It's Oba-chan.

Welcome.

Ah, excuse my disturbance.

Ah... I'm worn out.

You've worked hard.

Right?

Ah, where's Dad?

Went out drinking.

Again?

He's doing that all the time these days.

Is he okay?

He's not all that good with alcohol...

Money more than health! Don't worry.

Yeah.

Ah... There's that, Ito-chan.

Huh?

Have you talked to Kansuke about anything recently?

With Kansuke? Like what?

Ah, well, something like, "What are you doing these days," or something.

No.

I haven't even seen him recently.

Ah...

I see.

Somehow though...

I think something strange is up with him.

Something strange?

Yeah. I don't know what it is though.

Anyhow, he goes out and doesn't return until late.

And, the strangest thing of all is that he isn't leaving his wages with the family.

Eh?

And, when I ask why, he says...

..."Because the Kashiya owner hasn't paid me yet."

Eh?!

Tamae-san, that is strange.

Yeah!

Eh? What do you mean?

Well, Kansuke-san...

...must be using the money somewhere.

It's because he's using it himself that he's saying, "the owner isn't giving it to me."

That's right.

He says he's going and working but not getting wages...

...and yet he's going properly to work every day.

There must be something going on.

Right?

I wonder what it is?

Ito-chan...

Could you go and have a little talk with him?

What is that guy doing!?

He's worrying Oba-chan here.

I'm a fool, too, but he's an even bigger one!

Wait! What, what, what are you doing?

I'm gonna try and catch him.

No, no, Ito-chan, it's best not to go in a panic like this.

I'm off!

What about your tea...

A cafe had recently been built in the Kishiwada shopping district.

I hadn't gone in it yet...

...but I'd heard that Kansuke's friend Heikichi was working there.

What's this? It's Ohara. This is rare.

Forgive me. I'm not a customer.

What time are you going to meet Kansuke?

Kansuke?

Yeah.

Sae-chan.

Ala! Welcome!

Ala! Thank you for the other day! You've come again?

Dancer Sae

That's right.

I'm so happy. Thank you.

Ah, Kansuke-chan, forgive me. At the next song.

What are you doing...

Forgive me.

What are you...

Forgive me! It's all my fault!

Forgive me! Please forgive me!

There's...

...nothing I can do about it.

Huh?

I've come to like her.

Is this...

...really where your wages from the Kashiya shop are going?

You've used them all up here?

You made the Kashiya shop owner out as a bad guy...

...and kept the wages you should have given to Oba-chan...

...just so you could happily dance with that woman, huh?

Let's go home.

Let's go home!

No!

Huh?

She said the next dance would be mine.

If I go home now...

If I go home now, I feel I'll lose the right to dance with Sae-chan again.

You're such a fool.

You had no right to be with her from the start!

Your first obligation was to the Kashiya owner.

And you have your duties to Oba-chan.

Those come before anything else!

Maybe, but if I did such a thing...

What is it?

Sai-chan could be stolen by another man!

You blockhead!

Stop being such a coward!

Just how rotten has that head of yours gotten?!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Hey, look at me!

Guest, you're causing trouble.

Lemme go!

Guest!

Lemme go!

Please calm down!

Lemme go!

You're troubling the other customers.

Lemme go!

Guest, please!

This is rare.

Well...

...lover's spats can happen at any time.

Struggles between dancers.

Struggles between customers.

A husband who comes in and then his wife comes to take him back home.

"You're not being dutiful," huh...

Such is the moral learning.

This guy's a hundred years too early for dancing.

Miss...

...you have a nice character.

How about letting me employ you?

No.

I'm already going to become a Western clothing craftsman.

Western clothing?

Where at?

At the shop called Royal.

In the end, that scary-looking Manager told us...

..."On no account is Kansuke to enter this store again."

And he made him promise, "I won't meet the dancers."

Kansuke cried like a baby...

...but I had no intention of comforting him.

Oh...

What's happened?

I won't say anything.

I won't, but...

Please hit him once.
