Showa 20 (1945) October

Fabrics, huh?

None around, are there?

It was true, fabrics for Western clothes weren't to be found easily.

Well...

...I guess everyone's just desperately trying to get things to eat first.

Really still a ways to go before fashion.

I'm hungry.

That's true.

Wanna eat something?

Ah?!

Ito-chan! Hang on there! Hold on!

Wait, wait!

Did you see?

Sir, did you see that?

Ito-chan...

Those girls were really fashionable!

Did you see?

I saw, I saw, I saw!

I saw, I saw. I did, but you'd best not go near those girls!

Why?

"Why?" Those girls are Panpans.

Panpan?

Yeah.

They're Panpan-girls.

They're... girls who sell themselves to men.

Ah!

Yeah.

Ah...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That sort of thing.

Still...

...I wonder where they had bought those clothes?

Even so, there were certainly those who were fashionable in this world.

And they were trying to breathe life into it with a wonderful power.

Thinking that, my heart began burning more and more.

"Here in the mountains where we have gone..."

"...the war has had no influence on this town."

"Seizaburō-san and I are living quietly..."

"...so please feel at ease."

Grandma and the rest made it through fine, huh?

Hmm...

Sensei.

Huh?

It's Yaeko-san.

I hadn't seen Yaeko-san since Taizō-niichan's funeral.

Cafe Taiko

Ah, they're open.

Good afternoon!

Ah, welcome!

Good afternoon!

I see you've started up again?

All we have is coffee, but will that do?

We don't mind, don't mind!

Yaeko-san, let's sit over here.

One cup is five yen, so is that okay?

Expensive! Five yen?

Forgive me, but coffee beans are expensive.

Ah.

Um, Ito-chan.

Yeah.

I'm...

...going to go back to my parent's home.

Why?

What about Tarō?

Of course...

...I'll take him with me.

Oba-chan...

...will be alone?

That's true, but...

You'll leave Oba-chan alone?

Don't blame me, Ito-chan.

I wasn't blaming you.

I...

I... can't take it anymore.

I think I'm being heartless myself.

I think what a terrible person I am.

But even so...

I've...

...lost confidence in being able to be with her from here on.

You're not terrible.

You're not heartless!

Yaeko-san, I know just how much you've endured.

Until Taizō-san returned...

...I was going to put up with whatever happened.

I was...

...but...

He won't be returning anymore.

Ito-chan, Mother...

Yeah.

When Taizō-san was killed in battle, too...

...she said it was my fault because I married him.

"You bring death into this family," she said.

Well...

That does seem different from Oba-chan's true character.

She was a sensitive person from the start.

So...

...when all those terrible things happened, one after another...

...she just crumbled...

I wonder if she's taking it out on me?

I can understand such a thing, but...

Someone like you, Ito-chan...

...can throw themselves into the work they love...

...but I may not be able to endure much more.

Doing the work you love...

...gives you strength, doesn't it?

Yeah.

I...

...don't even have that anymore.

Weak...

I'm such a weak woman...

I had quickly forgotten about the war and was moving forward positively.

As though nothing had happened...

...I would focus on dressing up, eating snacks and laughing.

Welcome.

Still, what the war had left behind...

...was incredibly heavy.

Ala! Sensei's come back!

Tarō-chan, Sensei's come back!

Huh?

Tarō?

Let go of him!

I won't let go!

Let go already!

What's going on?

Let go of him already!

Leggo!

Hey! Stop that!

What is it?

Um, I...

Huh?

Could you hire me at this store?

Huh?

Please.

You're still in middle school, aren't you?

I'll quit.

What's happened that made you think of this out of the blue?

My Mom is saying...

...she's going to go back to her parent's home.

Ah.

But that means leaving Grandma all alone.

I thought I could stay behind with her, but...

I don't have any earnings to care for her on my own.

Well, that's true, huh?

Say!

Good afternoon.

Huh?

What do you want?

Say...

...you've gotten your hair permed, right?

What about it?

Well. I think it looks really stylish. Where did you get it done?

Anywhere is fine, isn't it?

Huh?

We won't tell.

Why not? Just tell me!

Stop that.

If you want one, just get your country Grandma to give you one.

Huh?

So long; goodbye!

Huh? Hey!

Wait a minute, you two! Hold on there!

Stop it! Stop it! Geez!

What's with those girls?! They know how to work their mouths!

Even though they were irritating...

...they were stylish.

Eh?

Those girls were smartly dressed...

...and had really nice perms!

Sir!

Eh?

I wonder where we could get ahold of a leftover perm machine?

A perm machine?

Hmm...

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ah, none, huh?

Ah, I guess you had to turn yours in, huh? Yeah.

Kinomoto-san really tried hitting up...

...each and every one he knew who might have some knowledge of one.

Yeah...

And then...

Eh?! You do?

You do?!

Really?

He was told that in Tokyo there was a used one to be found that could be bought.

Where in Tokyo?

Yaeko-san!

Forgive me for being late.

I was going through the procedures for Tarō's transfer.

Yaeko-san!

Let's go to Tokyo!

Tokyo!

Let's go to Tokyo and buy a perm machine!

Eh?

When you buy that...

...then the Yasuoka Beauty Salon can start up again!

Yasuoka Beauty Salon?

That's right.

Well, I don't have that kind of money right now.

I'll buy it!

Ito-chan, it's not as simple as giving me money...

It's not like I'm just giving it to you!

I'm loaning it to you!

If we do this, you'll be able to return the money in no time!

Yasuoka Beauty Salon will definitely prosper! This is a good bet.

Yaeko-san...

...all the women in Japan...

...will want perms and Western clothes from now on.

I'll do my best, too.

Somehow I'll get ahold of some fabric and be making clothes one after another from here on!

To do that, I'll need Yaeko-san's help.

You'll need to try hard, too. We'll get through this together.

By doing that, we'll definitely get by somehow.

Yaeko-san, it's like you said.

Doing the work that she loves makes a woman strong. Right?

Well, that's true but...

Hold on a minute! Give me a minute to think about it!

No!

Don't think!

Don't think about anything and let's go to Tokyo!

Well, even so, just a moment! Give me a moment to think!

I had decided about the family.

I'd been thinking about this a long time...

...before deciding.

This is a chance to get a perm machine.

And for Yasuoka Beauty Salon.

Let's go to Tokyo.

Tokyo.

Yasuoka Beauty Salon.

And then, after wavering for about an hour...

...Yaeko-san at last decided to go to Tokyo.
