Showa 20 (1945) March 14th

The incendiaries didn't fall on Kishiwada.

At dawn, the air-raid warnings were canceled at last.

Dad...

...we meet again.

There!

That makes me feel better.

What about?

Eh?

What do you feel better about?

Ah...

Well, I just feel better.

There's nothing to feel better about, though.

I was nothing but worried.

Kishiwada was spared from the air raids.

"Approximately 90 B29 planes had attacked the Osaka area."

Every Morning Paper

Raid by 90 B29s Areas of the city fire bombed

"Incendiaries were dropped on Osaka-Amagasaki, causing fires to break out."

Showa 20 (1945) March 15th

Whaa!

I guess Osaka is being burned.

There!

Okay, a hit!

The fire prevention practice that we had held once a week was now twice a week.

Don't let your guard down!

Look, this is a matter of life or death!

Yes!

Ala, are you okay?

Hey!

Continue, continue!

Hurry and stand up!

Don't act so spoiled! You're a Japanese woman!

Hey you!

Huh? What is it?!

There's no need to yell, is there? She has anemia! Just one look and you'd understand!

There's 130 B29s up there!

If she carelessly gets anemia, you could say she'll get burned up!

Even so, she has anemia!

If there were 130 B29s up there...

...our buckets of water wouldn't do much about that.

Well...

...it's really just a worn-out house that can only protect you from the wind and rain though.

Well still, it's enough. It'll be a bit crowded though.

In summer, the bugs'll start coming out.

Mosquitoes and centipedes.

Centipedes?

Ah, I'll keep that to myself.

Evacuating?

That's right.

I walked around asking everyone I happen to know...

...and this person said they had a house that they could lend to us to use.

Grandma and Mom and the children will live there.

That way they'll be absolutely safe.

There's no work at all for them here at the store...

...so this way, when there's an emergency, it'll be easier for us here to escape.

And then Rin-chan, Sachi-chan and Tome-chan.

Yes?

You will be helping out in the landlord's fields three days a week.

In exchange, he said he'll give you some food to eat.

And where is this house?

Far in the mountains of Yamanaka-michi.

The B29s won't bother to firebomb a place like that.

I don't like it.

Huh?

I want to die in this house.

Grandma, don't say such things.

If you want to go, you should go by yourselves.

Whatever happens, I will die in this house.

I wasn't about to listen to some old person talking in their sleep.

Put me down!

Put me down, I say!

Geez, Itoko!

What is this?!

I told you I wasn't going, didn't I?!

Tome-chan, hurry and go!

Eh, but...?

Hurry! Hurry and run!

Hey!

I'll remember this!

Yes, yes, whatever you say!

Fool!

Food.

Food.

All that was left now, anyhow, was what to eat.

It's not enough.

Ah!

This is a big help!

We're a dressmaking shop, so this is all we can do though.

Ah... You can't buy such things these days.

We deal in thread, so if there's anything else you need, just say the word.

Well, thank you!

And, um, then Landlord.

Huh?

It's something I wanted to discuss with you.

We're a large family and it's tough for us to get food.

Ah.

Rin-chan, Tome-chan, Sachi-chan!

Yes!

If I have them help out in your fields right away...

...could you increase our share a little?

Please!

Please!

Yeah.

All right!

Did it, did it, did it!

Ah. This'll fill it up for a little while.

Showa 20 (1945) June

The alarm!

The air-raid siren alerts were multiplying day by day.

Hurry! Go! Go!

Yes!

That June, they rang out continuously morning, noon and night.

At night, we couldn't get enough sleep.

As well, we couldn't get enough rest during the day.

In that way, we entered the rainy season.

Ala, my.

Mom!

You're all wet. My!

I'm soaked.

Thank you for your hard work.

Mom, the rice! Dry the rice! It's gotten wet.

Yes, yes.

It's gotten wet.

Mom.

What happened to your hand?

Huh?

Ah, this?

I got bitten by a centipede.

A centipede?

Whaa... I guess they have come out.

I saw a centipede, too. It was this big.

Ah. You guys mustn't ever touch a centipede!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Itoko!

Huh?

Hurry and take me back to the house...

...or I'll let myself get killed by a centipede.

Yes, yes. I'll take you right back as soon as the war is over.

I don't want to wait until the war is over. I want to die in my home.

Say, in just a little longer...

...the fireflies should come out along the river.

Yesterday at sunset, Yū-chan and the rest of us went to see them...

...but they weren't out yet.

I'm looking forward to that...

Hey, thief!

Wait!

Wait!

Ah, did you see a thief?

That way.

Damn it, for pete's sake!

Oi.

He's gone.

What's this?

An incredible beauty like you.

Are you hungry?

I'll feed you.

Come out.

There were things I couldn't even think about.

Once the rainy season was over and summer had come...

Showa 20 (1945) June

...the American planes were flying overhead every day.

The air-raid sirens ran continuously throughout the day.

What remaining food we had, I carried here and carried there.

Thank you.

Ah... Itoko! Are you okay?

Hey! Itoko!

I hadn't eaten; I hadn't slept.

I'm okay.

There was nothing at all I could think about anymore.

Ah...

In the end...

I didn't get to see the fireflies...

Excuse me.

Yes?

Is this Ohara Masaru-san's home?

Yes.

I have brought an official bulletin.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your hard work...

Ohara Itoko-dono
