Episode 31
So this is the town of Sakata. It's a big port city!
Look at all the petroleum storage tanks now.
But it looks a little run-down.
Back then the place seemed more lively.
It used to be a prosperous port on the Sea of Japan.
All of the region's rice used to get shipped out of here.
You don't notice that at all today.
There was a big fire here about ten years ago.
The whole city was rebuilt after the fire.
It's all different from what it was 60 or 70 years ago.
Since I had come out of the hills
the town seemed very big to me back then.
Look! Those warehouses are from the old days!
And these trees. It's still the same!
This area stayed exactly as I remembered it.
This is the warehouse area that impressed you?
That's right.
To see it all still standing... So many memories...
I still dream about these trees. Am I dreaming now?
Stop pinching me!
See it's no dream.
Is this Kaga-ya still in existence?
So much has happened since then.
Maybe somebody still remembers you.
All those people are dead and gone.
Sakata's become a mere memory for me.
Father once told me my real grandmother was from Sakata?
Is that true?
Father lost his mother at age two and he was adopted by you.
He doesn't remember her at all.
He only spoke of you as his mother but once he did mention that to me.
Grandma...
You knew his real mother?
Isn't that why you adopted him?
Your father is my son. I raised him with that in mind!
I guess so.
You raised him from age two.
You are pretty much his real mother.
He thinks of you as his mother too
and I love you as my real grandmother.
I'm sorry I brought it up.
None of it has anything to do with me anyway.
Please have your dinner!
Okay.
It's all ready.
Thanks.
I want you to have a decent meal for a change.
You men can't keep house!
Besides I have no husband or children to care for.
Yashiro residence.
Kei?
Where are you?
In Sakata?
Is your grandmother with you? Have her come to the phone.
Yes your grandmother!
Wait a minute.
It's aunt Hatsuko. She wants to speak to you.
Just tell her I'm fine.
But...
I told you not to call! I don't wish to be bothered.
She won't come to the phone!
She's fine let her be.
What are you two doing in Sakata?
Yes he's here.
He wants to talk to you.
It's me. Nothing's changed here.
You did have a few phone calls. Maybe it was your girlfriend.
She stopped calling after I told her you weren't here.
It's not often your grandmother goes on a trip.
Take good care of her.
Bye.
Hello?
He hung up.
You should've at least gotten the name of their inn!
They'll call if something happens.
You sure are easygoing.
What could they be doing in Sakata?
What's mother up to?
The Tanokuras are having big trouble!
I heard some rumors...
Let's eat!
Okay.
Hitoshi!
What a surprise to see you here.
I want mother to come home
but she hasn't gotten in touch with me.
I thought you might know where she and Kei are.
Yes but...
She'll be back when she feels like it.
I need her home!
Tanokura Supermarket is all yours. Let mother have her freedom.
I'm sure that's how she feels about it.
Kei is with her he should report in! What kind of son are you raising?
I'm sorry.
You can't get by without mother?
If they call find out how I can get in touch.
Let's all have dinner together!
My car's waiting.
Welcome home. Where were you?
Tatsunori has been waiting for you!
I missed you at the office so I came here.
Namiki hasn't finalized the transfer yet.
We still have time!
Have Namiki forego the deal or offer him more money
for the land than the big supermarket chain!
We can't have them opening up a new store!
I know.
Meet with Namiki and ask him to help you.
Bowing down to him won't change his mind.
He hates us because his small market suffered
due to our opening the new Tanokura Supermarket!
That's why we should ask him to merge with us.
He refused us outright!
Namiki has always opposed us in business.
Talk to him again. Have him come around.
Only he can keep the big chain store from coming in!
He owns the only suitable lot!
Not in front of Michiko.
Okay.
Dinner will be ready soon.
I'm so glad to hear that our new market's doing well!
Mother was so opposed to us opening up the new market.
It sure isn't like her to have so many doubts.
She finally ended up leaving home!
At least I get a chance to relax without her here!
And when she comes home
I won't have to feel so guilty towards her.
I'd like to have her retire.
It's time you younger people took over!
Nothing's new at home.
The Tanokura Supermarket is doing fine without you.
We can just relax and enjoy our trip.
Let's go take a bath.
Grandma?
I'm sure Kaga-ya used to be over there.
What if I'd been sent away from Kaga-ya?
Maybe my life would have been very different now.
She had fought with Kayo over the harmonica
that Shunsaku had left her and Kayo had been injured.
If she'd had to leave then...
That thought had haunted Oshin ever since.
You're wanted inside!
Hurry and come.
They found me another job somewhere else?
Can't we have Oshin work elsewhere?
No I want her here for Kayo's sake.
You can't just do what Kayo asks.
She doesn't understand.
She knows a lot more than you two.
Mother!
Just leave everything to me!
It's me Oshin.
Come on in!
I'm very sorry and I'm ready to leave the house at anytime.
Oshin...
We've decided to keep you.
Kayo doesn't want you to go away.
She's been an only child for a long time she's lonely.
I want you and Kayo to be able to play together.
I get to stay?
Yes and keep doing a good job as Sayo's babysitter.
Really?
We're all agreed on this matter.
Thank you. Thank you so much!
Have you eaten?
Yes Oume brought me my dinner.
Then get to bed.
A lot happened today.
You must be tired.
Where's Miss Okayo?
She is resting and she liked those owls you made for her.
- Have a nice day! - Have a nice day!
I hope you're not still hurting.
You were hurt too. Does it hurt?
Just a little.
Next time I won't let you beat me!
Have a nice day!
Kayo had smiled at her for the first time.
Oshin was ready to do anything for her now.
Thanks to Avallac'h and XrayMind at D-Addicts.
