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

All I want is to do my trade!

Where did our sign go?

What is this?

Look.

Huh?

Starting today, it'll just be you and me!

This is what your father had made.

Take it quietly.

Ohara Dressmaking Store

Where has Dad gone to?

Over to Omatsu-cho nearby.

To report to Shingushi-san there...

...that he's going to be a pawnshop owner.

Where are Mom and the rest?

There's a house attached to the back of the pawnshop...

...so they'll be living there.

In any event...

...you couldn't support a seven member family.

Just you and me'll be plenty.

I don't like it.

I don't like having the family scattered all over the place.

I understand that.

It worried your father, too.

Whether you could even support yourself.

He worried long and hard.

To have the house empty so suddenly...

...made me feel lonely and helpless...

Just before a snow like this, somehow it was scary.

Eh?!

Itokoooo...

Itoko, open up...

Itokoooo...

Ah, ah...

Mom?!

Ah! It's freezing!

What's going on?!

Ah... so cold.

Well... it is cold, isn't it?

This evening...

...just as our moving was mostly settled...

...it seems your father then became worried about you.

He said, "Go to Itoko! Go see Itoko right away!" like that...

It was my intention to meet you when you were on your way home from work...

...but since I wasn't familiar with the roads...

...I walked around saying, "Ala? Ala?"...

...not knowing where I was...

Ah, uh, um, well, no...

Well...

I'm sorry!

Forgive me. I'm sorry!

Well, this is... This is the sign?

Yeah.

Look.

Ah!

My, it's nice!

"Ohara Dressmaking Store..."

Ehh!

Well!

Somehow...

Huh?

Seeing your expression...

...I've begun feeling happy about this sign at last.

You should feel nothing but happiness! This is your sign.

At long last, the Ohara Dressmaking Store can start.

Yeah...

Umm!

That's true.

That's true, but...

Huh?

It's my fault...

...that the family's gotten all split up.

I feel I've caused Dad trouble all this time...

Ala, ala, ala...

I...

...wonder if I've done something I shouldn't have.

I feel...

...I should be apologizing to all of you for what I've done...

Silly.

You don't have to feel that way.

You were just trying your hardest.

Your father and Shizuko and the rest...

...don't think you've done anything wrong.

Ala? You've come.

Yes.

Ala?

What's happened to Itoko?

Grandma, go back there!

What's this?

She crying?

I said, "go back there," didn't I?!

Right about then, it was time for the sakura blossoms to bloom.

Showa 9 (1934) Spring

Be careful!

How about this?

Is this okay?

On the roof, I had the Ohara Dressmaking Store sign put up.

Ohara Dressmaking Store

How about here?

Yes!

Nee-chan!

Itoko-neechan!

Come see! Look, look!

Whaa!

Oh!

Ohara Dressmaking Store!

This is something else!

Yo.

Dad.

I...

You've... gotten fat, haven't you?

Huh?!

I can see that your face has gotten flabby.

I'm not fat. Not fat at all!

Ohara Dressmaking Store

Oi! Let's drink!

Oh, Zen-chan!

Well, well, wait.

We have to celebrate Ito-chan opening her store, don't we?

Never mind that!

Hurry and come down!

Whaa!

Pretty!

Congratulations on opening your store.

Thank you!

Congratulations. Make it prosper.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congrats!

Congratulations.

Thank you! Thank you!

I'll do my best! Just watch!

Ito-chan, Banzai!

Ohara Dressmaking Store

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you!

Even so, I guess running a business isn't all that simple.

Right after the store opened, Koma-chan and Sae came in to place orders...

...but other customers only came in trickles.

And there were days when not a soul would come in.

Ah, this is it, this is it!

Ah, found it at last!

Ala? Good afternoon.

My, it's been awhile!

You've quit from Suematsu?

Yes.

So I could start my own store.

This is Ohara Dressmaking Store.

Ah... you're right!

It's great!

Come in, come in.

Ah... Truth is, we went over to Suematsu the other day to buy some fabric.

The boss there told us, "without her to cut the fabric, it's been a problem!"...

...and told us that you were here.

I'm sorry about this, but would you be able to cut this for me?

Please forgive me.

I'm no longer a fabric shop assistant.

Don't say such stingy things. Please!

You and us have a relationship.

Look, we even bought Warabi mochi as a gift.

Warabi mochi - jelly-like confection made from bracken starch and covered or dipped in kinako (sweet toasted soybean flour)

No, no, no, no, no...

In the end, they had their way though.

This is nice, Oyama-san.

I think that will look good on you.

Really?

After that day...

Ohara Dressmaking Store

...a rarely seen customer came to call.

Ohara Dressmaking Store

Good afternoon.

Uncle!

Ah!

Itoko, I saw it.

Eh?

You've put up a fine sign.

How are you doing?

How's it for you? Good things yet?

Little by little.

Little by little is very good. That's how you get your start.

My, Seiichi-san!

We've been out of touch.

Now, come in, come in!

Yes. Ah, no, no... Um.

Ah, Itoko, could we go out for some coffee?

Eh?

Cafe Taiko

Welcome!

Your voice sounds inside out.

Your companion is over here.

Kawamoto-san?!

Thanks for waiting.

It's been awhile.

Congratulations on opening your store!

Ah?! Thank you...

Now, now, sit down.

What will you have?

Ah, I'll have coffee.

Coffee for me, too, please.

Does this store have hot chocolate? (KOKOA)

Steamed rice? (Okowa)

Hot chocolate!

We don't serve hot chocolate.

Zenzai then.

Two coffees and one Zenzai.

Two coffees and one Zenzai.

Still... what is this?

My uncle and Kawamoto-san.

What on earth is going on?
