Sō-rei Award

Winners Announced

Ohara Naoko

The Sō-rei Award.

Ohara Naoko

I wasn't able to get it.

Anyhow, I don't have the talent that Naoko does!

All I can do is cause trouble for the store if I come out!

I'm just a worthless and hopeless nuisance!

I can't do anything!

Ah!

Would Ohara Itoko-san be around?

Kishiwada Police

The day before yesterday, on June 10th...

...Kitamura Tatsuo was arrested for fraud.

Eh?

Yes, this is Ohara Western Clothing Store.

Ah, hello?

It's me, Naoko.

Ah, Nao-chan.

Is Nee-chan there?

Yū-chan? Yeah...

...she's here.

Ah, no, you don't have to switch to her.

There's...

...just something I want you to tell her.

What is it?

This is something I can only say once in my life though.

Ever since I was little...

...I was running after my Nee-chan who was always just ahead of me.

I ran after her just so I could pass her by someday.

It's a bother for me now...

...that Nee-chan will be watching over me from Kishiwada.

It's a bother to pass her by so quickly...

...and to have taken the lead.

And so Naoko asked to leave her once-in-a-lifetime message.

Unfortunately, not one word of it entered into Megumi-san's head.

This is all of it.

This is everything?

That's everything.

Look, Nao-chan, see...

Um...

...it's okay not to worry about anything here. Right!

Eh? No, no, there's nothing going on. Nothing at all.

We may get in touch with you again.

Thank you for your hard work.

Sensei!

Sensei! What have you gotten into again this time?!

I haven't done anything.

Please tell us the truth!

I haven't done anything!

Are they going to impound anything?

Are they going to take the sewing machines?

They aren't taking anything!

I sewed with those throughout the war!

Still!

I...

I swear to Heaven I haven't done anything shady!

It's best not to worry about unnecessary things.

Where are you going?

To the police?

No, I'm going over to the union.

I'm going to ask the Union President that no strange rumors get spread.

Senshū Textile Trade Union

Yeah. The detectives came here, too.

Is that right.

The crux of it is...

...left-overs of the Western clothes you had made that went unsold...

...were sold as fakes using forged Christian Dior tags.

I see.

Seems likely he did that.

With those tags...

...no telling how many more counterfeits he could have made.

That he was stuffing them with those while I was naïvely off to the side...

...makes me really, really angry.

Now, now, now, that's true, but...

Let's forgive him.

Okay? He got really burned by that mistake last year.

Well...

...I felt the pain of that, too.

Still...

...I think he was deeply wounded by it.

Somehow you could say he's still incomplete as a merchant.

Even when he works hard, the trust and popularity he earns is shallow.

Compared to you...

...he feels brittle and beneath your feet.

I...

...brought a mistake to such a person, didn't I?

Maybe so, but look...

...it's good he got arrested on his first offense.

Eh?

If he had done this dumb thing and gotten away with it...

...he'd have gotten caught up in the moment...

...and done one thing after another just like it, in a cycle. Right!

How much time will he have to do for this crime?

Well, since it's his first offense...

...I don't think he'll be thrown in jail right away.

Ah...

Kyaa!

What are you guys doing!

Mom! Did you see it just now?

What's that?

Firecrackers!

Firecrackers?

Since yesterday, when the police came...

...everyone's been talking about how worried they were.

And then Satoko suggested we light some firecrackers.

Firecrackers?

I asked why and she said, "It's at times like these that we need firecrackers."

I went and bought them myself.

I wasn't so sure, but well...

...we thought we should give them a try.

It's great that they worked, right?

Right!

I feel much better.

Thank you, Satoko.

Sato-chan!

What is this?

Mom.

Huh?

I've...

...had a change of heart.

Eh?

Starting tomorrow...

...let me start facing the customers again.

I...

Ever since I was a child it seemed natural...

...that I would just take over this store.

But, I was wrong.

Mom and the others have all been desperately protecting it, haven't you?

From here on...

...I think I want to protect it along with you.

At such a time, it seems I should have smiled and said...

..."You're great! I'm so happy!"

...just like that.

Is it in the blood line?

It's the blood line, right...

Wrong!

Huh?!

Showa 34 (1959) October

Yes?

It's me.

Is is Genta?

Yeah.

What's going on?

Saitō Genta

I...

...got it.

Huh?

Sō...

Sō...

The Sō-rei Award!

Really?

Re... really?

I got it.

You got it?

I got it!

Ah!

You did it! Hey!

Hey! What are you crying for? Hey!

Closed today

Sō-rei Award

Winner Announced

Saitō Genta

Ehh! So that potato won too, huh?

Last time it was Nao-chan and then next came the Potato-kun...

...you guys have an incredibly good class going, right?

Right!

Ala?

Wait, you?

Eh?

Could it be you plan to go to the ceremony wearing those clothes?

That's right.

Huh?

Look you, are you intending to destroy my wedding ceremony?

Huh? Why would my clothes destroy your ceremony?

Use some common sense!

Wait... Mom! Grandma!

What is it? Something happen?

Naoko's going to the ceremony in those clothes!

Ah, she can't?

We have gotten fairly used to seeing her in them, haven't we?

Definitely not!

The relatives from the groom's side are just normal people.

If my sister is sitting there looking like a parrot, what will they think?!

Well...

...that's fine. Go on, Naoko.

Come, change your clothes.

No!

Do it!

I don't want to!

Naoko!

Sir!

Oh...

What's going on?

Yūko, today...

I was invited and all, but...

I felt it probably best to refrain somehow. So take this instead.

Well, tell her best of luck...

Hey, what is this?

Why can't you come to the ceremony?

You haven't heard the story?

What story?

It's really best to hear it from them!

Wait, wait, hold on, Sir!

What is it? What is it?

Given my situation, it'd be wrong for me to go to Yūko's ceremony!

Eh! Nee-chan! Nee-chan!

Don't call for her, you!

It's Kitamura-san!

He's saying things I don't understand!

Sir!

Oh...

He's saying he can't come to the ceremony today!

What are you saying?!

I would hate it if you didn't come to the ceremony!

I...

...just don't want to cause you any trouble!

What kind of trouble can you cause?

Please don't say such sad things!

I do want to come to it!

And I want you to come!

I want you to come! Sir!

You say such cruel things!

You must come!

Leave me alone, you!

I definitely want you to come!

Why are you crying?

I'm only thinking about your happiness!

Again the farce was repeated today.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Good morning.

Please watch over us.

This is her costume change...

...and these are her hair ornaments.

My!

Please leave it to Yaeko.

Thanks for waiting! Okay, let's go.

Yes, let's go, let's go!

Let's go everyone!

Sir!

Say...

Is... Is it really okay if I come?

I'm not talking to you, fool.

Let's go, Sir!

Let's go, let's go!

Well, if you're willing to go that far.

Ah...

What a farce, what a farce.
