希望に燃える 恋の歌 Kiboueru ni moeru koi no uta In a burning with hope, song of love

Huh? Muneo-san!

Yeah! So long!

So long.

In the previous episode, I finished off with Mineko coming home from school to find her uncle going away...

...leaving her thinking, "Huh?"

I'm very sorry for that.

So let's go back to a time just before that, shall we?

Let's go, Astro Boy!

One Hour Earlier

Chiyoko, me and your Grandpa need to talk to Muneo-san for a bit, so take Susumu out.

All right. Susumu, let's go!

Yeah. All right.

See you again.

Yeah. See you later!

Thank you.

I'm off!

I'm off!

Muneo-san, sorry about this.

What are ya saying, Mi-neesan?

I'd have gotten angry if ya hadn't told me about it.

Yeah... Thank you.

According to the person where he has been staying all this time...

...after harvesting was over and he had returned to Tokyo...

...on the third day, even after Minoru-san's work was over, he didn't came back...

Seems she hasn't had any contact from him, either.

I tried calling the company, too...

...but they said they can't answer each and every phone inquiry of that kind.

They said it's since they have lots of people who quit suddenly.

I see...

Yeah.

Still, dat ain't like my brother.

Ta just up and go somewhere else without a word or leaving his thanks.

He only had a little bit of luggage, but he left that behind, too.

Though he could have taken it... to have left a change of clothes behind like that...

And then...

He didn't even take the letters from his family with him.

I see...

Ain't no way brother would've left such precious things behind.

Maybe something's happened...

Mi-neesan.

Huh?

Go ta Tokyo.

Eh?

Ya can't stay around here forever with dat on yer mind.

Go. Go and make sure ya meet with...

...that company of his and check inta what happened.

Talk ta the people who worked with him and find out what dey have ta say, too.

Okay?

That might be the best thing to do.

Yeah. It's the best way. Right?

Yes...

Yeah.

Ah... do the kids know about this?

I don't want to worry them.

Yeah... that's true.

How about Mineko?

No, since I don't want to worry her.

All right...

Mi-neesan.

Want me ta come along with ya? Won't ya feel lost and alone there?

Thank you. But that's okay.

I couldn't cause you that kind of trouble.

Wouldn't be any trouble.

Thank you... Thank you.

Thanks, Muneo...

Ah...

What's dat brother of mine up ta... Causing all this kind of worry.

He won't get away with just leaving us in the lurch like this.

Never could win a fight with him, but... Yeah.

Should I punch him a good one next time?

Punch him one.

Do that. And give him one for me, too.

I'll do that. Yeah. Okay!

I'm home!

Welcome back.

I met Muneo-san just a bit ago.

Ah, really?

Yeah. Has something happened?

Yeah. Just a little something...

Ah, he brought us that.

Oh, my! It looks delicious!

Eh? And what did he come for?

Nothing. Look, Mineko...

Yes.

I have to go to Fukushima tomorrow.

I'll leave in the morning.

Fukushima?

I was thinking of staying overnight there, so while I'll make breakfast...

...could I ask you to make dinner after you get home from school?

Yeah, of course I'll do that.

Thank you. That'll be a big help.

Why are you going to Fukushima?

Huh?

Has something happened?

Yeah.

Look, a relative of Shigeko-san, Muneo-san's wife...

...has had some sort of misfortune.

Really? That must be tough, huh?

I'm home...

I'm home...

Welcome back! Thanks, you two.

You guys, I'll be making dinner tomorrow.

What do you want to eat?

Eh?!

What's the "Eh?!" for?

Mom won't be here tomorrow?

Yeah, that's right.

You can help me out, too.

Yeah, all right.

Susumu, what do you want to have?

Eh? Are you sure? It's okay for me to decide?

Sure.

What's this? What's up?

Huh?

Gestures?

Gestures?

Mountain.

Mountain.

Is he pouring something on it?

Eh?

Eating.

Oh... it's curry rice!

Oh!

You got it!

Suzufurikei

Got everything prepared okay?

Yes.

Be careful. Tokyo's dangerous, after all.

I will.

How about money?

I'll be fine.

Ah.

It's hard for me to say this.

But if you aren't able to find any clues, then at that time...

I should go and report it to the police, right?

Yeah.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience my being away will cause.

Whaa! Good morning!

Oh.

What's up?

No, it's nothing.

You'd best hurry or you'll be late.

Yes.

Mineko, sorry for rushing off.

Since it's time for me to go, take care of breakfast, okay?

Just be careful about starting the fire.

Yeah. All right.

Well, I'll be going.

Be careful, Mom.

Have a nice time.

Have a nice time.

Make sure you listen to what your Onee-chan tells you.

Well then.

Get the rice prepared, right?

Oh?

Me!

Eh?

What's with the "Me!" Susumu?

Gestures?

Since we're busy right now, we don't have time for gestures.

Just say it.

I wanna help, too.

All right, Susumu.

Oh, Miyoko! What's up? You're here early.

Yeah. Thanks for the ride.

Yeah. Get on, get on.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Where are you going this early in the morning?

Yeah, just out.

Don't tell me you're going to see your beloved Minoru over in Tokyo? Huh?

Huh?

You really are a fool, Jiro.

Have you heard news that Minoru is doing well?

Yeah. He's doing well.

Minoru-san... is quite well.

I see.

Going to the train station?

Yeah. I want to catch the 6:39 train. Will I make it in time?

Yeah, leave it to us.

Kotoro-san, pick it up a bit.

Right.

Two Hours Later

Mineko. Something going on with your Mom?

Huh? Why do you ask?

Well, she got on this bus early this morning.

Ah... She had to go to Fukushima because of a misfortune with a relative of ours.

Really?

Yeah.

Look, since it's one of Muneo-san's relatives...

...I don't don't know which one, but it's one of them.

Fukushima? That's wrong.

Huh? What's wrong?

She said she was catching the 6:39 train.

The 6:39 train's the one going to Tokyo.

Right, Kotoro-san?

Right.

Eh... But...

She looked like she was brooding over something...

...so is she okay?

Excuse me; where's the exit?

The exit's right over there.

Thank you.

Ah, excuse me! I'm sorry!

Excuse me.

Dad...

Why did Mom lie to me?

Somehow I have this unpleasant feeling that something has happened I don't know about...

...and that scares me.
