Suematsu Store

Next customer, please!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

You've become quite prosperous.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

I thought it would be a good thing to come in...

...and get a bolt of fabric cut for the New Year's...

...but it takes forever now to get in here.

What did you want to use the fabric for on New Year's?

For my daughters here.

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Twins?

Yeah.

I wanted to make one for each of these two.

But I wanted to have two different designs for them.

And look, here the other day...

...it was fitting too closely along my hips.

And when that happens, my bottom sticks out too much.

Ah.

Then, shall we put a gather in?

Eh? A... gather?

Yeah.

We put it here...

...and it bunches it up to make it airier.

I really don't understand.

Ah!

What, what's that?

Incredible!

That's incredible!

This is it.

This is a "gather."

You're good at drawing, too, huh!

It's nice!

Please draw one for me!

Me, too! Draw one for me, too!

That's right, you should draw them.

All your customers would be thrilled by that!

Ah, maybe I should make one for everyone...

In that way, in addition to doing the cuttings...

...I also handed out drawings of the designs.

And so then my fame became even greater.

Um, I'm sorry...

...but we can only serve up to this person today.

Eh?! What's that?!

If I allow everyone in line like this, I won't be able to close the store.

Here's how it will turn out.

In the end, I didn't know if I had grown as a merchant here or not.

But I had made the store prosperous.

Next customer, please!

What would you like?

A one-piece dress.

A one-piece dress.

Please come this way.

Why, I wonder?

What type of fabric would you like?

I know.

It's that the number of people here in Kishiwada wearing Western clothes was increasing at last.

Somehow, now was the time.

Please be careful carrying it.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Now was the time to talk to Dad again.

It'd be no good unless I started it now.

It's nice, huh?

There, there.

Let's begin!

1, 2...!

Hey! Who just blew out the lights?!

Wasn't it Grandma?

Grandma!

No! It wasn't me!

Liar. It was you Grandma, wasn't it?

Who cares who it was? Let's eat.

I do care!

Ah. Itoko.

Huh?

Something the matter?

No.

Here!

Yes.

Oi!

I'm back!

Welcome back!

Drunk again, I see.

Yes. Oi you guys...

...your father's back. Come and welcome me.

Yes.

Yes.

Eh? What's that?

A Christmas cake.

Huh?

Itoko-neechan bought us one.

Dear, would you like to have some, too?

No, no, don't want any of that.

Dad.

What?

I'm going to begin the dressmaking store at the start of the year.

Huh?

At the start of the new year...

...I'm quitting the job I have now to start the Ohara Dressmaking Store.

Who gave you permission to do that!

Who's permission did you get that you can selfishly say such a thing?

I don't have anyone's permission.

But, I don't need permission anymore!

I've decided it, so that's that!

Who do you think you're making fun of!

Stop it, stop it!

You decided it, so it's okay? Hah!

Ain't you the great one!

That's right. I am great.

Dad, you're not the great one doing nothing every night...

...but eating and drinking and coming home drunk!

You're the bad one!

I worked from morning till night every day...

...making both that tailor shop and the fabric shop prosperous.

I bring in all the wages for this family and even bought an electric fan.

Today I even stopped off on the way home so I could buy a Christmas cake for my sisters.

Sorry...

...but I'm the one supporting this family far more than you are!

What's that!

If you're gonna hit me, then go ahead and hit me!

But this is business!

All I want is to do my trade!

You brat!

You can take this, too!

You're still a useless half person!

Alley-oop! There.

Let's eat. Let's eat!

It's okay.

It's okay!

Just a little squished is all.

Doesn't change the taste any.

Here, c'mon...

...the taste isn't changed. Right!

I'll put the chopsticks in the dish.

It's okay, so eat up. Right!

Come!

You should be the first to eat!

Right!

Say...

You...

...you bought this for us.

Thank you, Itoko!

Thank you!

Thank you.

Itoko!

Thank you!

I hate this!

Itoko!

Forgive me!

I can't deal with Dad for a little while.

I'm going to my Kobe Grandpa.

It's been awhile.

Still Reiko-chan, you've changed into such a beauty I didn't recognize you.

Eh?

Who's that?

Ito-chan!

What are you doing?!

Ah...

G'morning.

Ah!

It had been so long since I had last come to my Kobe Grandpa's house...

...that without even my realizing it, so much had changed.

Ito-chan. Do you remember Sakazaki-kun?

Huh?

I don't.

Eh?

I remember you.

Look, we ate Baumkuchen together.

Ah!

You remember now?

And after that, we all played together in the garden.

Isamu-kun, why are you speaking with that accent?

Ah, sorry.

Look, I'm at Tokyo University now, right?

All of my friends there speak this way.

Hmm...

Welcome!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

My, it's been a long time, everyone.

You two seem in good health as ever, too.

Welcome!

Good afternoon!

Take your time.

Thank you very much.

Ito-chan, don't feel any reserve and take all the time you want, too.

Yes. Thank you.

Have some hot chocolate.

Huh? Ah, that's right.

Somehow, I got the feeling...

...the master of this house wasn't Grandpa anymore.

Until you're satisfied...

...you take all the time you need.

Yeah.

Thank you, Grandma.

Yeah.

Still...

...when I think about it, I'm neglecting my work.

I don't want to trouble the boss...

...so I think I'll go home.

Yeah.

Leaving already?

Yeah.

I'll come again.

Come again.

Yeah.

These people were ones who had always protected me...

...but they were in no position to protect me anymore.

This wasn't a place where I could be spoiled by them any longer.
