Like I thought, it's not here...
Eh?
That girl... don't tell me...!
Mom?
Mom!
Mom, hold on a minute!
What about Chiyoko?
I think she's going to try to go see your Dad.
Eh? In Tokyo?
Yeah.
Ah...
Someone's coming.
It's me, Jiro-san!
Here.
Chiyoko!
Chiyoko.
Chiyoko! Chiyoko!
Chiyoko...
Chiyoko! Chiyoko...
Chiyoko?
Hey!
Now, now, now!
Chiyoko!
Don't be angry with her.
Chiyoko!
Oi.
Chiyoko!
Let's battle!
Chiyoko!
Chiyoko... Chiyo...
What's all that about...
I'm sorry for this, Jiro. I'll bring some tea. Come in.
Should I?
Come in.
Come in, come in...
Well... I was surprised.
Chiyoko was standing all alone at the bus stop.
What's up? Where are you going?
"Where are you going," I asked...
Ah!
Wait Jiro, hold on a minute.
Huh?
Susumu...
Could you do something with Susumu?
Wanna go to the toilet?
I don't wanna go.
Never mind that and go.
I won't!
Chiyoko...
You're gonna talk about me, right?
'Cause I'm not a person, am I? Just a child!
Chiyoko...
Susumu.
What is this? Onee-chan, leggo! Stop it!
I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna!
It got quiet...
Can I tell the story?
Ah...
And then...
Ah!
I guess you should hold off a minute.
For now, we should take this over there.
Right?
Yeah.
Really?
Jiro-san, get your tea.
Yeah.
Where was I?
At the bus stop.
Ah, that's right, that's right.
And then, when I asked her, "Where are you going?"...
...she said, "I'm going to Tokyo. I'm going to where my Dad is."
I knew it...
And then I asked, "Does your Mom know about this?" but she was quiet.
When I said, "you can't get on until you do"...
...she said, "Then I'll walk."
Well, I couldn't let her do such a thing.
So I let her on the bus...
...but since our bus does a regular round, by the time we made one go-around...
...she had cried herself to sleep.
It was like that?
Yeah.
Sorry about this, Jiro. What about your bus while you're gone?
Ah, Kotoro-san'll take care of it. Well, it can get by without a conductor.
That's true.
No, it's not true. It couldn't run without me.
Mine's an important job.
Ah... that's true.
Right?
Jiro... truly, thank you for this.
It's okay. This is like part of the job, too.
My job is to act as the link between...
...this village and the outside world.
In the past they'd have called me a checkpoint.
Understand?
Yeah.
All sorts of people from the village get on board.
Some people get on board feeling sad at leaving the village.
And there are people who get on board feeling nostalgic and happy to be coming back.
We get all sorts.
I'm inside the bus all the time...
...so without going anywhere myself, I get to see the villagers coming and going all the time.
That's my job.
Yeah.
Ehh...
What is it, Mineko? Thinking I'm pretty great there?
Is your stock in Jiro-san suddenly on the rise?
And, well, sometimes we get children like Chikyo today, too.
Children whose parents have gone off as migrant workers will do that...
Part of my job, too, is to protect them.
So don't do that, Miyoko.
Huh?
Don't get too angry with Chiyoko.
Yeah... All right. Thank you.
Sir, these are delicious.
Really?
If you're happy then slap your butt! Slap!
Shiawasenara ketsu tatakou peshi! Peshi!
If you're happy then let's all slap our butts!
Shiawasenara min'na de ketsu tatakou
C'mon, let's all slap our butts! Slap!
Hore min'nade ketsu tatakou peshi! Peshi!
Chiyoko... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are they asleep?
Yes.
I see...
Let them sleep as they are for a little longer.
Yes.
Someday...
Huh?
Well... Chiyoko was bound to find out someday.
About Minoru-san being gone.
Yeah...
Someday we'll have to tell Susumu about it as well, won't we?
We will.
Um...
Um... Grandpa... Mom...
What is it?
Dad will be coming back.
After all, he said that, right? That he'd be back for the next New Year.
He promised us that... didn't he?
Ah...
Yeah...
So he will come back... Right?
He will.
But...
Still...
Mineko... what's up?
I've made up my mind.
So don't oppose me.
If... on New Year's...
...Dad doesn't come back...
If he doesn't come back...
I think...
...I will go to Tokyo to work.
That's the best thing to do.
Just like Dad did, I'll work in Tokyo and send back money.
That's the best thing.
No. I want to do that.
I feel I must do that.
And besides...
And besides, when I do go to Tokyo...
...I might even be able to find Dad.
I've decided.
I've made up my mind.
But...
Still...
Dad will come home, won't he?
Right?
Yeah...
I'm starving here, Mom.
That's true, huh? I should make dinner.
Yeah.
And then the seasons changed from Fall to Winter.
Here in Ookuibaraki village, too, the preparations for Winter had begun.
The year was fast coming to a close.
Dad...
...as the cold season settles in firmly, are you doing well?
You haven't caught a cold or anything else?
You can sleep in a little longer for New Year's.
