Showa 23 (1943) December

Suo-can continued working at my store in gentlemen's suits, but...

Well, after thinking over various things...

...he decided to set up another shop specializing in men's wear over in a neighboring town.

Tailor Suo

The ceiling is rotting here and there.

Eh? Well then, please make sure you correct it.

A tailor has to be able to put out fabrics.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

I bought you some dangos...

The carpenter told me...

..."I'll make sure to fix it properly"...

...but otherwise the first time it rains, the roof'll leak.

It'd be a big deal if the fabric got wet.

Yeah.

I also went around and greeted all the neighbors.

They seemed like nice people.

"It's about time this town had a tailor," they said happily.

Aren't you going to eat a dango?

I'm fine. Maybe later.

Eat some.

Um...

I bought an additional box of them for you.

I knew that Suo-san was secretly taking back snacks and other things for his children.

As for dangos, I could now buy 100 or even 200 at a time.

The store was thriving.

This is popular around the world.

Around the world?!

Here are the sales for this month.

The sales of women's clothes came to 72,130 yen.

"Life is short, so fall in love, you virgins," is what it says.

Virgin! A virgin!

That's right.

And, summing up this month's profits are...

...28,250 yen.

Yasuoka Beauty Salon

Well, based off of just what I earn alone...

...Megumi-san and Masa-chan no longer meddle in whatever it is I want to do.

I see...

When does the store open?

Start of the year.

It's going to be showy, so be sure to peek in.

Even so, we, look...

We don't have any men who wear business suits.

Ah...

I'm off!

Have a nice time. Be careful.

Hey!

Wait a minute!

What are you guys doing?

I'll ask you, what are you doing?!

Give us back our Dad!

Give him back! Give us back our Dad!

Give him back!

Ala, Yūko.

Calligraphy?

Yeah.

Be careful while going.

Yeah.

I'm back.

Welcome home.

Showa 23 (1948) December 30th

Ah... we'll be counting on you again for next year.

We'll be counting on you.

If you would please!

Hmm...

It's become a wonderful store, hasn't it?

I picked out this one desk.

It's fine that it was expensive since it's so old, right?

That's strange, isn't it?

How you don't like electric clocks.

If someone like me winds it carelessly, then it breaks, doesn't it?

Ah, but then Suo-san could just fix it again like he did that once, right?

I was embarrassed by that.

Why?

Did...

Did I do something wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong.

Suo-san...

Truth is...

Couldn't you stay at my store?

No...

This is my dream.

Ever since when I was in Nagasaki.

Tailor

Suo

Back when I first looked up at my own store sign...

Ohara Western Clothing Store

...I was incredibly happy.

Incredibly, wonderfully happy.

Why was this different?

I'm sorry, Suo-san.

Huh?

I...

...wanted to try and make your dream come true.

But...

...can you be at all happy...

...that your signboard was put up with a woman's money?

What is it?

Hurry and say it, Suo-san.

No...

Still, thank you, Itoko-san.

I...

Really...

...do want you to be happy, Suo-san.

Me, too...

I wish for yours, too.

Do you really understand the Nagasaki dialect?

Hmm...

Not yet?

It was difficult for me at first.

That's true.

Now I understand it a little more.

That night...

...for the first time in my life...

...I spent it away from home without telling anyone.

Suo Ryuichi Ohara Itoko

Well now.

You'll need to pay me back at 2,000 yen a month.

Yes.

Well...

...since that's business, I'll send Megumi-san to collect it.

Very well.

Early that morning, I sold Suo-san the store in monthly installments.

Thank you.

Thank you, too.

Farewell.

Take care.

Farewell.

Take care.

Itoko!

I'm sorry.

What's this about? Returning in the morning like this.

Forgive me. Truly, forgive me.

Itoko.

Ah, Itoko!

I would start moving forward once more.
