After a long time, my Kobe uncle had come by.

Even though everything had been destroyed during the war, and even though the spot was bad...

...a wonderful house had been built again on the Matsuzaka family site.

Ah... How long ago was it since I last came out to Kishiwada?

Ah...

...during Mitsuko's wedding?

Ah.

That was in Spring of last year.

Showa 23 (1948)

Yeah, yeah.

So it's been exactly one year, Uncle.

Ah, that year went by quickly.

Right!

Ah, here.

Ala... What a nice photo!

It is!

Isamu-kun had had his wedding ceremony last month.

The bride looks very nice.

Really?

She looks like a beautiful and gentle person, huh?

Right?

However, it looks like you did splendidly in marrying off the daughters here.

That's great, Itoko. You did great.

Even so, Onii-sama.

Huh?

Now that all of my daughters have been married off...

I'm a little lonely.

Ah...

But you still have Itoko.

Itoko is...

Huh?

...she's my son, after all.

That's true.

Right?!

What's that? Oh!

What's going on?

Ala, ala, you'd better go on.

I'm sorry, excuse me a moment.

I had them first!

No, I was using them!

They're mine!

No, they're mine!

You two!

Didn't I tell you that the next time you did this I would toss you out of the house?!

Naoko's a pig! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Where's Satoko gone to?

Ow! Ow!

Were you here?

Yes.

Now...

...all of you go and greet your Kobe uncle.

And behave!

Ow!

Let's go. Satoko, you too!

Uncle, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

You guys...

...get along with one another. Okay?

Hey!

Yes.

Yes.

Onii-sama, here's some baggage for you.

Huh?

Please use it as an offering before Father's mortuary tablet.

Yeah. I will.

Be careful. Please give Mother and sister my regards.

Be careful.

Yeah.

My Kobe Grandpa had passed away in the winter of last year.

Since the war...

...life had become a nest of celebrations and sorrows...

...that crossed over one another as the years passed.

I am now thirty-five years old.

This is what they call, "the impermanence of all things," huh?

You guys!

How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?!

Come with me!

Listen up.

Your names were given to you by your dead Grandpa.

"Yūko" is written with the characters for "gentle child."

So start acting like a gentle child!

What is this?! All you do is fight with Naoko!

And you!

You're Naoko from "quiet"!

You mustn't just torment your sister!

What about Satako?

Huh?!

Satako's different.

Your Kobe Grandma named her. It means "smart child."

"Smart child?"

Satoko's not smart.

She's a moron!

Satoko's no such thing!

I don't like you two talking like that!

Don't just talk back!

These children would go to grade school and kindergarten in the mornings.

I'm off!

I'm off!

I'm off!

Have a nice day!

Going out properly was their most promising feature.

Even so, the first to return in the afternoons was Satoko.

Satoko! I told you to go up to the second floor, didn't I?

Hurry and give it back!

It's mine!

You're lying!

It's mine!

And when these two came back, utter confusion reigned.

Stop it!

Come here!

Ow! Ow!

Ow!

Satoko, come with me!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Ala?

Have you bunch come again?

Yeah!

But even so, you were just here last week.

Mom said, "get going."

Your Mom can't work when you guys are around, can she?

Can't be helped. Well then, Sato-chan, come in.

Excuse our disturbance!

Excuse our disturbance!

Even so...

...if I cut you guys any more than this, you'll start looking like acorns.

What should I do?

It was fine if the children's head's started looking like acorns.

This? Yeah, yeah, yeah! OK! OK!

Yes, yes.

Just a moment, please!

Anyhow, the store was so busy at this time, I couldn't worry about such things.

Counting on you!

Excuse me.

Could you look at this while waiting?

Thank you.

I'm sorry!

I've kept you waiting, Kimura-san.

I'm sorry!

Even after increasing the number of sewing machines and seamstresses...

...and having everyone working during their days off...

...I still couldn't catch up with the amount of orders we had.

Ehh... I'll have to wait that long?

Forgive me, we're rushing it as soon as possible.

Can't be helped.

I'm sorry!

That's fine.

Burned areas from the war were being cleared up at last...

Thank you!

...and fashionable flowers...

...were rapidly beginning to bloom here and there.

Yasuoka Beauty Salon

Welcome back.

Thank you.

You...

You look just like your father.

Thank you, Oba-chan!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Take care!

Bye!

Yes!

Tarō-niichan!

Tarō-niichan!

Welcome back!

You just came back?

Can you carry my bags?

He can carry my bag!

Mine!

Mine!

I asked him before you did.

I asked him before you!

I'm back!

No, I did!

Welcome back!

You guys should hurry home so you don't worry Oba-chan.

Eh? Union President?

By "Union President," you mean that Union President?

Yes. Of the Senshū Textile Trade Union.

Why is he calling me to a restaurant?

Matsuda Megumi

He said he has something to talk to Sensei about.

Ehh?!

But that would be a little awkward.

I've been ungrateful. After all, I haven't gone to even one of the monthly meetings.

Sensei, um, you shouldn't keep him waiting so, um, please hurry and go.

Well Megumi-san, you should go.

What are you saying? He said he wants to speak with you!

Hmm... Even so, I only went once to the Year's End party and then to the New Year's party.

About that, I properly apologized about that!

Eh!

Look, please get going.

Now, here, stand up! Here!

But I'm really not up for it!

That's not true.

Stand up, stand up!

But he's scary!

If he's scary, it's because you'll have kept him waiting for a long time like this.

Stand up already.

It's been awhile.

You don't know who I am? It's me, me!

Ah!

Kitamura-san?

Couldn't you have said that sooner?

Hello. What's with the black glasses?

Kitamura Tatsuo

Union President, we've come!

Oh!

Union President Miura Heizō

I'm sorry for not having contacted you in so long!

It has been awhile, huh?

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry for calling on you when you're so busy.

Not at all.

I'm the one who's sorry, Union President.

You've invited me here so often.

I couldn't come because I can't easily slip away from my tiny store.

Well...

...you're already master of a store and head of a household.

Well, you have your circumstances, huh?

I'm sorry.

Still...

...you could've at least shown your face around the office and had a meeting with these guys, huh?

I thought as much.

Please forgive me.

Well, drink up.

Ah, thank you.

Is it because of this guy?

Huh?

No... That's absurd!

Oh. Is it some business rivalry?

No...

It's not that.

Ah, have some!

Ah... thank you.

For you, too?

Of course!

The reason I called for you today was to talk to you.

Ah...

Say, Ohara-san.

This Kitamura here...

Could you lend him a hand?

Huh?
