This train is the exclusive train for those children going off for group employment.
This year's group employment train has made 100 trips...
...and brought 15,000 children to Tokyo.
I also had a girl who decided at the last minute that she wanted to do this.
Tagami-sensei
Is that right? We've both had it tough this year, haven't we?
Mineko, those clothes. They're awesome and pretty.
Aren't they?
My Mom made it for me.
Eh... That's awesome.
I should have had her teach me more about dressmaking while I had the chance, too.
Ah, but still, Mineko.
What is it?
Yer clumsy, so can ya do da detailed work ya'll havta do...
...at a transistor radio company? Will ya be okay?
Ah... you've got a point.
I know that.
Hearing that I wonder if I can do it...
...but just thinking about it depresses me, so I've stopped thinking about it.
Ya can't not think 'bout it!
Well, I'll get by somehow. And I'll have Tokiko there, too!
Itadakimasu!
Yum! Dat's so good!
That's cute.
Eh?
That.
Ah... My dead Mom gave it to me.

Eh?

Come over here.
Hey, Mitsuo, scoot over.
Ah...

Nabatame Sumiko From Fukushima Prefecture
Ah... High school...
Yeah. Here, eat with us.

No, I couldn't...
It's okay.
There's no way I could take this.
Eat up, eat up. Here.

That's right. We get scary.
We're scary!
Eh...
Itadakimasu.
Go right ahead.
It's delicious.
Eh?! A transistor factory?!
Yes... It seems to be a company named the Mukojima Electric Company.
Same as us!
Eh?
You'll be working along with us.
Eh?! Really?
Yeah... Let's work together.
Let's get along.
Yes...
Thank you for putting up with the long train ride.
This train will reach its endpoint at the Ueno Station in about 8 minutes.
Okay you guys, get ready! We'll be arriving soon!
Hey everyone, we're arriving soon. Mineko, wake up.
Sumiko-chan, Sumiko-chan. Sumiko-chan, please wake up.
You guys don't forget anything. Make sure you have it all.
Ueno Station
Ueno! Ueno! This is the entrance to Ueno!
Upon arriving here at the Ueno Station, the children will head towards...
Congratulations on finding a job
Starting today, you are citizens of Tokyo
...each of their separate workplaces with the people who've come to pick them up.
Dad... I've arrived in Tokyo.
This is the first time I've ever seen so many people who were strangers to me...
...and that all of them are in such a rush over something...
...and seem so angry...
...is scary.
Let's see... Where is Sumitani Mitsuo-kun?
Sumitani Mitsuo-kun! Eh...
Ah... Ah, here!
Oh!
Ah... You, huh?
Now, now, let's go, let's go.
Ah, well, um...
Ah, I forgot! Sensei! Sensei! Sensei! Tagami-sensei!
Ah, yes, yes! Ah... Abe-san, right?
Nipponbashi Rice Dealer Abe Zenzo
Yes.
I'm Tagami of Hitachi High School.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. And this would be, eh... Sumitami Mitsuo-kun.
That's confirmed, so I'll be taking him. Yes! So long!
Ah, well, please take good care of him!
Mitsuo, be steady!
Yes.
Mitsuo! Do your best!
Yeah!
Mitsuo, don't give in! If you give in, I'll hate you!
Yeah! Got it!
Ah, ah, keep in touch, okay!
Yeah!
Ah, Asagi, are you okay? You're not cold?
No.
I'll come again once it's Summer. Yeah, do your best.
I'll do my best.
I'm sorry for being so late!
I'm very sorry! Let's see... Hello there. Hello there.
Hello there. Hello there.
Um, I'm Tagami of Hitachi High School. Are you with Mukojima Electric Factory?
Mukojima Electric Factory Nagai Aiko
Yes! I'm Nagai.
Thank goodness.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no...
From the sensation I got over the phone, I thought you were a bit of an older man.
Ah, it's these girls.
Oi, you guys come here.
Yes!
My, what a cute bunch.
Cu... Cute?
Nice to meet you. I'm Nagai Aiko. Call me "Aiko-san."
Let's see... I'm the Housemistress and I will be looking out for you.
Housemistress
Let's see...
Sukegawa Tokiko-san.
Here.
Yes.
Nabatame Sumiko-san.
Here...
Yes.
Huh?
Ah, only those two names are in the paperwork, though...
Eh?! No, no, no, Nagai-san.
There is one additional person, please.
Yatabe Mineko.
There must be, right? Eh?
What's happened? Was the company okay with it?
She's not written down here, though.
No, wait, wait!
Please do a proper investigation!
What should I do?
"What should I do," she says... Hey...
I'll find a phone and make a quick check with the company.
Please wait just a moment, okay?
Ah, I'll come with you!
You wait right here for a bit! Don't move! Got that!
Yes!
Sorry. Sorry about all this.
Which way is it?
Ah, the phones are over this way.
Mineko... are you okay?
What'll I do...
Eh?
If... I can't get work?
There's no way that would happen.
What'll I do...
What will become of me?
Eh... Will I have to go back home?
Like this?
I can't go back...
Ain't no way I could go back...
I just can't go back...
It'll be okay.
I'm sure it'll be okay.
Right?
Sorry about that.
I was able to confirm it.
Yatabe Mineko-san is on our rolls.
Thank goodness...
Thank goodness for that.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you feel forlorn.
Yes...
Welcome to the company, Mineko-san.
Yes. Let's work together.
Yeah.
Then... let's go!
It's heavy!
Ah, don't worry about that.
Then Nagai-san, please take good care of them.
I will. I'll take them under my care.
Mineko... Tokiko...
And, Sumiko...
Do your best! And watch out for your health, okay?
Yes! I was under your care!
Sensei, thank you very much!
Then... this way.
Good luck... Good luck to you...
Dad...
...though things got off to a crying start somehow...
...I'm doing well.
Huh?
It is this way!
To be honest, our Housemistress, Aiko-san, is a tad unreliable, though...
Are you okay, Mineko-san?
Yeah.
Mineko.
Don't you go losing to Tokyo.
Yeah.
It's this way. Come this way.
And thus, Dad and Mom...
...I...
...have arrived in Tokyo.
Now, what sorts of days are lying ahead for Mineko?
