And so, from Nakano...

...you take this train to Tokyo and then go here.

And where is the fabric wholesale store at?

The fabric wholesaler is in Kanda, part of the city of Suda...

...so around here.

Since it's so tough getting to Tokyo, I definitely have to look for some fabric while I'm there.

Yeah. Ito-chan, we'll look for some.

Yeah.

Buy the perm machine on the first day and then see the fabric wholesaler shop on the second...

Well, given that I think you'll get lost in the streets...

...it'd be better to take four days to look for it...

Lost in the streets?

The Tokyo streets are still messed up. Don't know what sort of shape they'll be in.

My, that is a worry.

Masa-chan...

Huh?

You should go with them.

No, no.

Let's go, Masa-chan.

Yeah. Come with us.

No way! I'm really scared of Tokyo.

Though Masa-chan hated Tokyo and we had to drag her along...

...it really was the right thing to do.

Tokyo - Nakano Neighborhood

Masa-chan has a lot of energy, doesn't she?

Masa-chan, let's take a break already.

We can't! We're almost there. Where the perm machine can be bought is right around this area!

Please, let's rest.

I'm already...

Me, too...

Even so...

...just walking around like this...

...I can now understand what they meant by the Great Tokyo Air Raid.

Yeah. I had read about it in the papers...

...but I didn't think this much had been destroyed.

Yeah.

Did you see those children loitering around in that burned field?

Yeah.

Those children...

...have probably lost many of their parents and homes...

Sensei! Yaeko-san! I've found it!

Eh?!

This is it.

Eh?!

Sensei.

Huh?

From here on, it's Sensei's turn.

Please be firm when haggling with him.

Be firm!

I know that!

Even so...

...right around here, there's a great deal of rust.

Still, this is the only one left in Tokyo...

Ito-chan, I'm already fine with the price.

Hey! And look, this is missing here. Look!

Ito-chan, that's enough! I told you, this price is fine.

Yaeko-san, be silent!

What was that?! This is a good price to me, so this is fine!

It's not fine!

You can't do this if you're gonna be in business!

Don't go saying such optimistic things!

I never said I felt optimistic!

I'm seriously convinced that this is a good price!

I can't consent to that!

Even if I only get to use it for a short time, that'll be fine!

You can't use it like this!

I can use it!

It's broken here!

Never mind that and let's get back to the inn while there's still light out!

Unfortunately, while I couldn't get him to make it any cheaper...

...after safely buying the perm machine...

...Yaeko-san felt as if she were in a dream.

What with those people there, we should sleep together in a huddle, huh?

Whaa... It's hot.

Let's sleep like this. Like this.

Please don't let the money part from your body!

It's okay. Don't worry.

I...

...sewed that into my obi.

Eh?!

Where?

Look.

Tomorrow I'm gonna buy some fabric with this.

I'll protect it...

...no matter what happens.

Another two hours yet, huh...

Ahh...

Hurry and be morning already.

Ah!

Ah.

What is this?

Why is it pitch-black out?

What?!

Kyaa! What is it?

Stop! Whaa!

Kyaa! Thief!

Thief?!

It's a thief!

Thief?!

Ah... What? What's with the women?!

You there!

My backpack... My backpack's gone!

It was you, wasn't it?!

It was you guys who took it, wasn't it?! Just look at your faces!

Show me that bag!

Thief! He's fleeing from the first floor!

Search for him!

Damn!

Sensei?

Ito-chan?

It's them! It's the thieves!

Wait, wait a minute! You guys...! Ah!

They totally played around with us!

That was dangerous, huh?

I've called the police just in case...

...but there seems to be a lot of this recently...

...and they said to please be happy you didn't suffer any losses.

What's that?! Hurry up and catch them!

Those people had gotten angry too...

...but for now...

...we needed sleep in order to get ready for tomorrow.

Yaeko-san, hold on to it tightly!

Like this!

Even so...

...I need to sleep some more...

For now I'll sleep crossways.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

That guy below who shouted "Thief!" was one of their accomplices.

It was an adult's voice though.

Probably their boss, huh?

Damn it! I'll catch them myself, tie them up and make 'em cough it up!

Do you think they're still in the area?

If I do find them, they won't get away with this for free, damn it.

Ala? Where did she go?

Where did she go?!

What is it?

What happened this time?

A girl...

A girl?

In the end...

...I wasn't able to buy any fabric.

Ah, it's Mom! Mom's come back!

I'm home.

Heavy...

Na-chan...

...you've gotten heavier.

Welcome home, Mom!

Welcome back. You're back already? That was quick.

Ah... Well, lots happened.

Eh?!

Well, thank goodness.

Your mother's come back.

Were you two good girls? Huh?

Yeah.

They were.

Whaa!

And chocolate!

Incredible!

Let me see!

Umm, delicious!

It's good!

Yeah.

Masa-chan.

Huh?

That girl...

I wonder if she bought some snacks with it?

That talk again... It's best just to hurry and forget about that!

Maybe so, but she was really skinny.

Such a tiny child...

Well, even if she took that money, she would have just turned it over to her boss, wouldn't she?

Tastes good!

Well, before she handed it over...

...maybe she stopped somewhere and bought some snacks with it.

Yeah...

We had survived.

I would tell Oba-chan to do her best...

...and make a much better world...

And we would survive.
