Sorry for keeping you waiting.

On a day like this...

...you should close the store.

It's okay.

By opening the store as normal, that'll divert our minds, too.

How long until he goes to the front?

Five days.

That soon?!

Yeah.

It's going to be really busy for him.

He'll go to his parent's home tonight...

...then go around making courtesy calls on family and friends.

Your father said...

"He should spend it all just with family," didn't he?

That's true...

...but the bottom line is that there's no time for that...

Is Daddy...

...going somewhere?

Yeah.

Your Dad...

...is going to war.

Hmm...

I don't like...

...Daddy going anywhere.

Mommy doesn't like it either...

...but there's nothing we can do.

Mom...

Yūko is watching you.

I'm sorry...

So long. I'm off to my parent's home.

Yeah.

Forgive me. Wait just a minute.

Say!

Is there anything you want to take to the front with you?

Is there anything I can buy you that you'd like?

No, no. It's not like I'm going on a trip.

That's right...

So long, be careful.

Give your mother my regards.

Yeah.

I'll be back the day after tomorrow.

Yeah.

Now, keep busy, keep busy!

At the time, the store really saved me by being so busy.

I didn't have time to think through unnecessary things.

Because we could start up again at any time, keep your tools handy and ready to help out.

Yes.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Isamu-kun, Uncle! Whaa!

Ala?

Eh?

Masaru-kun's being sent to the front, huh...

Congratulations.

Thank you for coming all the way out here for that.

Even so, Isamu-kun, how long has it been now?

I came to your wedding.

So, um... eight years now already?

Whaa!

Has it been that long?

Where was it that you had to go to? It was like some foreign country...

Ah, Sera... seru...

Serabes island.

Celebes island!

Celebes island!

Ehh... To do what?

I went as the representative for the trading company I work for.

But, well, with the times as they are, the company went bankrupt.

So now you've come to help out at your father's company?

Yes.

Eh?

Well, we've become a seller of military uniforms, too, right?

Is Grandpa still doing okay?

Well... So so...

Ah, I guess...

...when he heard about Masaru-kun, he became worried about you.

Tell him, "I'm fine."

It's so rough!

Does it feel good?

Nao-chan. Here, come touch it too, Nao-chan.

At that time, showy celebrations for going to the front were forbidden...

...so we just had a small party with family and those with the store.

There was a fuss about "not enough food to eat" going around at the time.

Even so, thanks to all of our customers who left us food rather than money...

...we weren't wanting at all.

Hey you, is that pig?

That's right.

Where in the world did you buy that?

Not through the black market, I hope.

It could be trouble if someone found out.

I didn't go through the black market.

Whaa!

It's cutlets!

Those are for the Boss. After the Boss has eaten his fill, then you can have your turn.

I don't mind. Eat up, eat up. I've caused you guys trouble up until now, haven't I?

Hey, Dad's late.

Yeah. He said he'd be here for sure, but...

I wonder what's happened to him?

He's probably...

...concerned about what sort of look he should have when he comes.

Concerned?

Unexpectedly, your father is at a loss for what to say during times such as these.

What are you doing?

Hmm...

Dad still hasn't come yet.

Yeah...

Ah, he's come!

Geez, you're so late, Dad!

Father...

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

That the...

...Akagami came.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

Father, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

Father, I'm sorry.

After that, Dad and Masaru-san...

...drank all through the night.

So long.

I'll be going.

Get going.

I'll be going.

Get going.

Boss, get going.

Get going.

Get going, get going.

So long!

Good luck!

Get going!

Get going!

Good luck!

Good luck! Get going!

The next morning...

...with a hangover and a swollen face...

...Masaru-san went to the front.

Yes, here you are.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Ah, so busy already!

Ah, busy, busy.

So noisy!

Huh?

Going on with that "busy, busy" stuff.

That's true, but I really am busy. Not only with this place but all of Masaru-san's work as well.

Maybe, but I don't come out here to help out for that.

Ah, that's right, that's right. I haven't done that yet.

Excuse me. I have baggage for you.

Yes!

Itoko!

Huh?

Is that Masaru-kun's bags?

Yeah.

He sent back the suits he was wearing.

Does that mean he's still here in Osaka?

Yeah.

He didn't write that, but he is well.

At the very least...

...he'll be able to greet the New Year here in Japan.

Yeah...

Ah... Did you look inside?

Eh?

Check the lining.

It's in places like that you can insert things you've written you can't write otherwise.

Really?

Doesn't seem to be anything in here...

There is something.

Let's see.

Yeah.

Huh?

What's that?

I've seen that woman somewhere.

Ah, Ohara-san.

Ah... That woman...
