Miura Heizō Kondō Masaomi

Good morning!

Geh...

It's been awhile, Ohara-san.

I've brought you this today.

Here.

I think you may already know that...

...250,000 people took part in the food May Day in Tokyo on May 19th.

Give me rice Give me food

Give me rice

The national food shortage has even reached here!

Ohara-san, you mustn't get the look that this is someone else's problem, either!

Do you understand?

She's that kind of person, isn't she?

Point is, she's one who just has to preach about everything, isn't she?

I know... I've already thought that.

I have some of those where I live. Meddling old women...

Good afternoon.

Yes, welcome.

Welcome.

Um... Do you have that? Is this where I could have a business suit made?

Ah... I'm sorry. My husband used to do that before, but...

We used to, but we don't now.

Ah, I see...

Have you tried the men's stores in Sakae-chō such as Yoshiya's Western Clothing store...

...or Kozaki's Western Clothing store?

Thing is, none of those have opened again yet.

Ah, I see...

We...have a sewing machine and other tools for that here, too...

...but we don't have any craftsmen for itt...

Sensei.

Huh?

Could we ask the union president for one?

Huh?

He's familiar with all the craftsmen who are working and could introduce us to a good one.

Ah...

Ah...

Senshū Textile Trade Union

Are you okay after the other day?

Eh?

Well, that fool Kitamura forced you to drink all that, right?

I got angry with him when he said, "Having a woman in our party is ridiculous."

Ah... Thank you.

No.

Union President.

Huh?

Thank you. But don't worry about me just because I'm a woman.

Eh?

I may have shown an unsightly part of myself the other day...

...but it's completely unnecessary to go easy on me just because I'm a woman.

Oh.

Just like you to say such a thing.

Oh, he's good.

He's a really good guy!

Really?

Yeah.

The man who's my secretary right now...

Ah, the one you were sitting next to the other day...

Eh? That man?!

Yeah.

Because he speaks in his Nagasaki dialect, you may not understand everything thing he says...

...but he's a really good craftsman.

He's a man with good skills.

Right now though...

...most of the stores are closed.

Well, you could hire him for the time being though.

Ah, he's back! Suo!

Yes?

This is Ohara-san.

Ahh... Um...

I'm very sorry about the other day!

Have you gotten over being drunk?

Eh?

He said, "Have you recovered from being drunk."

Ah...

I've recovered, thanks to you.

No, no.

Of all things, the one person I didn't want to meet...

...was the one who'd be helping me.

Ah... Um...

Yes?

My place is over here.

Ah, I know. I came here before.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Suo-san.

Yes?

This way.

Ah, yes.

Please take your shoes off here.

Yes.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Excuse my disturbance.

Um...

Ah, I'm sorry.

This way.

My, we were under your care the other day.

Naw, was nothin'.

If you need anything, please just tell us.

We'll just be downstairs.

Thank you very much.

Not at all.

Um...

I've arranged it so that it should be usable...

...but please check it out.

The customer will come at 4pm.

Very well.

Well then, we'll be counting on you.

Excuse me...

Yes?

Was it Ohara-san who dun think up dem polkadot clothes?

Huh?

Dat one-piece dress downstairs.

Yes, that's right.

Hmm...

Is there something about them?

Ah, no...

Please raise your arms.

Oh.

Ohara Western Clothing Store

We're off!

We're off!

You there, wait!

You guys forgot these.

Here.

Ah, good morning.

Good morning.

Early, aren't you?

Hey, you guys say "good morning," too!

G'morning!

'Morning.

Good morning.

I'm off!

I'm off!

Get going!

Excuse me.

Ah.

Some tea. Please take a break.

Ah, thank you very much.

Um...

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

Your shoes...

Shoes?

Yes.

Suo-san...

...did they sell such shoes in Nagasaki?

Ah...

I bought those at a store with foreign-made goods.

They had a rare color for leather...

...and I thought they stood out.

Were there a lot of foreigners in Nagasaki?

From long ago, Nagasaki harbor has traded with Europe.

At the time of the bombing, those shoes were to be left behind...

...but my wife fled with them, so they didn't get burned up.

Everything else did get burned up...

Since they are my only property that didn't get burned up, I take the best of care with them...

Could you understand my story just now?

Ah...

Ah, probably...

Ah, I'm sorry.

No, no, me too.

Our words aren't very convienient, are they?

However...

...I just couldn't give those up.

Eh?

I just have to wear them when having sake and holding the shamisen.

So then, even if we don't speak the same language...

...everyone gets along really well together and has fun.

Ah...

That was a shamisen you were playing the other day, wasn't it?

Clothes, too...

It's clothes, too.

Clothes?

I guess there are a lot of words for clothes that I don't know, either.

Yes...

I... Yesterday...

Yes.

I was unconsciously watching the women who were coming to the shopping district.

Ah...

The war's over...

...and one year has passed at last, but...

To be honest, I still haven't recovered from it yet.

Sad things...

Bitter things...

I live day to day with nothing but anxieties.

But...

There were women walking around wearing such clothes!

Ah... That was incredible!

I...

...thought those clothes were cool.

So cool...

...and beautiful.
