心を育てているのね

Kokoro o sodatete iru no ne

That's how a heart is raised, isn't it

Ohara Zensaku Kobayashi Kaoru

I've seen that woman somewhere.

Ah, Ohara-san.

Ah... That woman...

Kikuno!

Dad, you know her?

Ah, no, no, no, I...

What's the name of the restaurant she's with?

Wakamatsu? Wa...

Wakatake.

Dad, you do know of it?

Eh?

Right? That restaurant.

No, no, don't know it.

Kikuno. Say, Dad!

Don't know, don't know, don't know! Don't know!

Tenmaya!

Whaa!

What a skilled shout he gave!

I guess the red one, right?

That's true. It goes well with your face.

Does it?

Okay, we'll go with the red.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Do you want to wear it home as is?

Eh?

That's true, but it'd be a waste to use it right away.

It's okay. Let's go home like this.

Can you just remove the price tag?

Yes.

He's someone skilled at shopping with women.

That day I had seen in him...

...a man with many different faces from the one I had known...

...and to put it plainly, I had fallen in love with him again.

But, when I thought about it...

...while I wasn't aware of it, he had gotten used to playing around.

Say, can I get another one just like that one?

Yes, I can do that.

Have that one wrapped up as a present.

Certainly.

I wonder if I'm doing something bad?

Ohara-san!

Ah!

(Forgive me.)

(I can't come see you today.)

(And I rushed over here straight from the tatami room, too...)

You're his wife?

Sensei?

Do you feel ill?

Ala?

Where's your red lipstick?

Have you stopped that already?

Hey.

Yes?

That day when I went to see the Kabuki, right?

Yeah.

Do you remember how many...

...wrapped bundles the Boss had with him?

Huh?

It was two, wasn't it?

One with the Daifuku...

Daifuku - rice cake stuffed with bean jam

...and another a package from the department store, right?

I don't recall. What about it?

It just was bothering me suddenly.

Anyhow, something was different.

Ah, she's a really beautiful woman.

If he liked such a beautiful woman...

...why did he get married to me, I wonder?

I wanted to see your face.

Why?

I just wanted to see it.

I thought you were nice from the time you were working at Royal.

I thought, "the way she works is charming."

So that was it, after all.

Hey!

Don't eat so much!

It wasn't that he liked me as a woman.

It was just because I had good prospects as a breadwinner.

Even if he left her alone, his wife would diligently make money.

And that way he could go out and play around with other women.

Hey!

And that's why I was important to him.

Only for that.

Ah, I ate too many potatoes.

Sensei, where have you been!?

This is the time of the year when we're the busiest, so to play truant...

I know!

Anyhow, I'm not good for anything but work.

I just skipped for today.

It may take me several days, but I'll catch up.

Well, that makes me feel relieved.

Yo!

Hey there!

Ala, welcome!

Oh, Itoko.

What is it?

Seems Masaru-kun's still in Osaka.

Eh?

A friend of mine informed me about it.

He doesn't know how many days he might be around.

But Masaru-kun should stay in the homeland through the first of the year.

Eh...

Why don't you go and test if you can see him tomorrow?

Once you've been split up, you aren't supposed to meet again.

That's true, but if it's you, you might be able to meet him.

At least she might be able to pass him a mochi for the New Year.

Well... That might be pushing things.

I won't go!

Why not?

"Why not...?"

Why?

Dad, don't you know why?

Huh?

As my father, you should be the one most angry at your son-in-law!

Ah...

Ah, that wasn't that big a deal.

Huh?!

I could understand why you'd feel he might need a little scolding, though.

But your husband is going off to the front.

So from here on, what's important is that he's being sent to the front...

That has nothing to do with this!

Don't yell!

It's normal for a man to have one or two affairs!

Whaa... He cheated on her?!

I guess the Boss did have an affair?!

Now, now. Still Ito-chan...

...it's true a man will cheat once or twice.

Ahh...!

Men are all the same!

Wait, Sensei!

I knew.

I now knew full well.

Where are you going?!

It was my own Dad and Kinomoto-san as well.

Yo, Ito-chan!

Eh?!

Kioka-san and all other men would say that as well.

"It's natural for a man to have an affair or two."

"Forgive them."

Women shouldn't have to agree to such a thing!

What is it about men folk that makes them go rotten?!

Women folk shouldn't get so sentimental over them!

We have to be more!

More...

What...?

Restaurant Yoshida-ya

What is it?

Nothing really.

Have you come to say some unnecessary things to me again?

Huh?

I don't know who you heard if from...

...but while my husband did run off with a geisha, I could care less than if a mosquito had bitten me.

He ran off?!

Your husband did?

Really?!

I didn't know...

Then...

...what did you come for?

What's this?

If you have no business here, then leave. I'm very busy.

No, no, no! Just a minute!

Huh?

Do you...

...know someone named Kikuno?

Kikuno?

Ah, of Wakatake?

You know her?

She's famous. For her beauty.

I see.

Did Kikuno do something?

She had an affair.

With whom? With your husband?

Yeah.

Ah! You're lying.

It's true.

Your husband wouldn't be able to get a fine woman like Kikuno.

Well, it's true though.

Your husband...

What kind of looks does he have?

Well anyway...

...I think he has powerful looks.

But he was only with me because I was good at making money.

Are you boasting?

I can't be boasting, now can I?

When my husband has had an affair.

Well then, what is it?

It's that...

That the men around me are all saying in unison...

"It's natural for a man to have an affair or two."

Both my Dad and the other men around me.

I was angry at how suddenly...

...they all circled around to protect my husband.

Those guys... Whether someone has an affair or not...

...I think they're just using that to justify their own affairs.

Having such a nature is disgusting.

They all just try and twist the truth around.

We...

We women would absolutely never do such a thing, right?

You don't know the truth.

Eh?

Whether your husband did have an affair, right? That's just your own idea.

Ah...

I don't have time for your boring stories. I'm busy.

Forgive me.

And...

What does your husband say?

Yeah, well...

...he was sent off to the front.

Hah!

All the more reason to have a talk with him.

Shape up!

This.

This is fine.

Me and Natsu were fine fellow women.

When I opened my eyes...

...it was snowing.
