Itoko-sensei!

Please! Please save me!

What from?

I...

...made a mistake...

...and purchased one hundred rolls of this!

Huh?!

Ohara Itoko (72 years old)

Again with the hundred rolls.

It's nothing. You go over there.

You said you made a mistake. How did you make this mistake?

This is Chinese fabric...

...with Suwatō embroidery.

Wanting to show my father some good fabric from time to time...

...I thought I would go over there and buy some.

With my youthful senses...

...I thought I could find something interesting that my father hadn't.

Hmm.

And...

...my intention was just to buy a single roll for use for some small articles.

Yet even so, and I'm not sure why...

...but I had one hundred rolls given to me...

I told them, "I didn't ask for all this"...

...but they decided they weren't the ones who made the mistake!

And then my father told me...

..."You're at fault for getting one hundred rolls."

..."You're disinherited!"...

...and then hit me for the first time since I was born.

And then?

Eh?

How does this involve me?

Eh... Well...

That is, um...

If I could...

...borrow some of your wisdom...

...about doing something with these hundred rolls somehow...

"Borrow my wisdom"?

Yes.

No.

Eh?

Leave.

Well, why not?

Think for yourself.

You won't help me, no matter what?

Look you.

Yes.

Go listen to that story about Yuzuru's great-grandfather and his fabric with gold thread...

...one more time!

Yes.

Ah... yes!

I understand.

Um...

If I do hear it, can I come here once more?

No!

Ah... yes.

I've said it before.

They're fools.

Um Sensei, Kiyokawa-san's daughter has come.

Yeah. I'll be right there.

Yes.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Thank you for waiting.

Forgive me. Sorry to have kept you waiting.

Sensei! I'm sorry.

Could I have a moment...

What is it?

I was here the other day discussing my mother's dress with you.

Yeah. "In celebration of her 77th birthday," right?

And then Mom said...

..."Don't make that."

Ah.

I don't know why she's being so obstinate...

...and since she so enjoys dressing up...

...I thought for sure she'd be thrilled when we told her...

..."all us kids got together and contributed to having one made for you."

Perhaps she just doesn't like having her measurements taken?

Eh?

Your mother used to be fat long ago...

...but her illness suddenly made her slender.

Hmm.

Even in the best of times, a woman doesn't like having her measurements taken, right?

So she wouldn't like it when she felt it was unnecessary.

It's only natural.

Ah, I see...

There is that, huh?

Still...

...I'm fine about making it without taking her measurements.

Could you tell that to your mother?

Eh?

Can you do that?

I've used this method for over 50 years now.

With just a glance, I can judge the measurements by eye.

Really?

Really.

Then I'll ask her just to come in the once.

Yeah.

Don't force her. It's no good unless the person themselves is intent on it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you...

Be careful.

Thank you!

Yes, yes, good-bye.

Rise and shine! It's morning!

C'mon, get up already!

It's morning!

Morning, morning, morning, morning! Hey!

Hey! Rise and shine!

It's different from just wiping.

Polish them properly.

Handsome, wasn't he?

Not really.

Well, he was such the handsome man!

I haven't known a Nii-chan like him before or since!

Eh...

But...

What is it?

I...

...know someone who looks just like him.

Who is it?

My team's senpai.

Taizō-niichan's definitely more handsome than him.

You haven't even seen senpai.

This handsome man was a carpenter.

A carpenter?

You don't remember carpenters?

They have a wonderfully dangerous role on the danjiri.

Silent and strong...

...yet he was also wonderfully gentle with us little ones.

He was a man among men.

Why did he die?

It was the war.

Hmm...

That's a waste.

Truly...

Don't just polish Taizō-niichan, but polish that good-for-nothing next to him, too.

Good-for-nothing?

Eh?

Which one?

Up-down, up-down, up-down!

And then, once you've finished that...

...side-to-side, side-to-side, side-to-side!

Got that?

If you understand, then answer.

I understand!

From the corner, here!

Do it right!

She may have gotten back into the rhythm of life and is moving forward...

...but she should hurry and return to high school anyway.

Don't be so impatient. There's no need to rush these things.

Even so, nowadays she can't be registered for high school if she's absent for over a year.

If she goes directly to a public school...

...how old she is can't be used as an excuse.

If we don't hurry...

If we don't hurry, it'll be too late.

Ah... Why would she do such a thing?

She said...

..."Children are in gangs because they don't have their parent's affections."

But we were neglected by our Mom when we were growing up...

...and yet none of us was ever in a gang.

Compared to you, Mom, I pour affection all over my children.

I feel it should be smaller.

Look Mom.

I...

Should I come out there once this Sunday?

Huh?

I should...

...go there and talk to Rika directly.

No!

Why?

Way too early.

That girl...

...is still just wearing her jersey.

Her jersey?!

Why?

But I sent her all her other things!

Look.

In the time that child is wearing the jersey, we can talk together about anything.

That's what this time is about.

Well, still...

...saying such things won't...

Well, wait until she starts getting dressed.

Don't just come out on your own.

Well, but, Mom...

So long. I'm busy, so I'm hanging up.

Wait...

What was that?

Jersey...

What's going on?!

Even without words, through their clothes you can understand all sorts of things about people.

Long ago, there was a person who had told me that.

A jersey is a jersey...

...and it says so much.

"I'm a yankee," it says.

Yankee - slang for a delinquent girl

Ala, isn't that our neighbor's grandchild?

She's in a gang.

And, "Please don't just talk to me."

And, "If you want a fight, I'm ready for you at any time."

Hey you...

Who are ya!?

And when you're saying those sorts of things, well...

...things can't be helped.

Wait, ah...

Wait, Rika-chan! Rika-chan, what's happened to you?!

Hey, Sensei!

What happened?

Are you hurt?

Hey...

Yes.

Hey Kō-chan, take her to the second floor.

Carry her on your back. Can you move?

Let's go.

You don't seem to be bleeding.

What's going on, geez...

So long.

Did you save her?

Well...

I just said, "da police are comin'," like that.

Did the police come?

No, that was a lie.

It's just that when you say that, they'll definitely start trying to run away.

You're smart.

Thank you.
