Um! Excuse me, but have you seen this man?
Haven't seen him.
Is that right...
Thank you very much!
Lad, yer persistent, ain't ya?
Shouldn't ya be lettin' da police look fer people?
Police Box Officer Watahiki Masayoshi
That's true, isn't it? Yes.
Safety First
You look like you had fun. What did you buy?
All of you are holding department store bags.
It's nothing, really.
Nothing, really.
What's that about?
They've all been out shopping, haven't they?
In those days, swimsuits became rich in their design variations...
...and the number of slightly bold two-piece suits increased dramatically.
Ta-dah!
We want to hurry to the beach and wear them, don't we?
But it's still another week before the Bon Festival holiday comes.
So true...
Tokiko-san's suit is pretty cool.
You'll look good in that.
Thank you.
Toyoko's swimsuit is so honorable. Just like the honor student she is.
No, no. This is just as far as I can go.
I'll be pushing things even with this.
Ah, what'll I do?
This might be the most expensive thing I've bought my entire life.
Ah... that's true...
For me, too.
Hey you, what is that?
Ah... My Dad in Iwake... please forgive me for this.
We're sorry!
What's the matter?
Tokiko's Mom Kimiko
This.
Ah...
Not coming home for Bon. Sorry. Tokiko
Well, can't be helped. She's so busy der.
Tokiko's Dad Shoji
Tokiko's Older Brother Toyosaku
Still, der's dat, right? She didn't just write, "Not coming home"...
...but "Sorry," too, so dat mean's she's growin' up, right?
Right? I think so, too.
Right?
Didn't work.
Didn't work, huh?
I know dat much.
Eh?
And besides...
...it ain't like I wasn't expectin' dis possibility.
Right? In dat case...
Yeah.
Ain't it somethin' like dat?
"Somethin'"? Like what?
It's to keep it a secret from me. "I'm busy..."
"...but I miss Mom and wish I could come home..."
Ain't dat what's she's writin' in dis letter?
It ain't.
Ya really are slow, geez...
I'm sorry.
Miyoko Mom
Onee-chan's not coming home.
That's so boring.
Just be patient until New Year's.
Shigeru Grandpa
Right?
Right.
What does she write?
Younger Sister Chiyoko
Younger Brother Susumu
"Have lots of fun."
But, "work hard on your summer break homework," too.
Which is it?!
I see.
I got the same... And then...
"Study hard with the intention of going to high school."
"I'll definitely see that you can go."
I see...
And then she writes she's going swimming with her friends.
I got nothing like that.
Swimming in the ocean is so nice.
It is, isn't it?
But, after writing about how she's going swimming...
...she then wrote, "I'm sorry." Why?
It means that while she wishes she could take you along with her...
...she's sorry that she'll be going by herself.
She doesn't have to apologize for something like that.
That's true, huh...
And then she writes, "You aren't still wetting your bed, are you?"
I'm sorry.
You'll have to write back truthfully to her.
When Summer comes, I remember
Far off Ose's distant sky
The way the fog rises there
Its gentle shadows and field lanes
The flowers blooming along the water
I can see those blossoms in my dreams
Alongside the water
The color of rhododendrons at twilight
And far off Ose's
Distant sky
Oh!
Yo.
What are you doing here?
You had the chorus today, didn't you?
Ah, that's right...
Eh? Were you waiting to see me?
I wasn't.
Then why?
Is Mineko-chan doing well?
Ah, she looks well. Seems she won't be going back home for the Bon Festival.
Ehh... Is that right.
Eh? Were you waiting for me to see if she was doing well?
Sorry.
In that case, you should just participate in my Chorus, too!
Don't say stupid things like "chorus" and such to a man!
Those sorts of things give me the creeps!
Thanks for the food.
Sure thing.
Why are you being silent?
Well...
It's because you treated me here once before.
Eh?
You couldn't exactly expect me to ask for that a second time, could you...
What is this? Okay, I'll treat.
Really? You're sure?
I'm sure.
And about the chorus?
No way!
And then this woman pickpocket I was arresting...
...was about the same age as my Mom.
She was crying. "Can't be helped if I'm arrested."
"But just let me see my family before that," she said.
I said, "all right" and took her.
And then... after waiting a bit, she entered this tiny little house.
Yeah... And then?
Since she wouldn't come out even after I had waited, I called to her.
It wasn't that woman's house at all.
Seems she went in the front and right out the back.
And then vanished.
Ahh...
That's all I ever seem to do.
I hate being like this.
You're just a nice guy.
It's fantastic having a nice guy like you as a policeman.
What's fantastic about that? There's nothing good about it.
If every policemen was like that, civilization itself wouldn't be possible.
Really?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Answering you would make me feel bad...
...and if I went on talking to you about this...
...I don't think I could do it anymore.
You are a nice guy. All right; I'll change the subject.
What are you doing for the Bon Festival?
I just get one day off. So I can't go to my home in the country.
What's the day you get off?
Huh? Just the 14th.
Oh! Then it's decided!
Number 9!
I'm sorry.
Are you getting lazy since tomorrow's the start of the Bon Festival?
Tired, aren't we... Whaa!
I'm sorry; are you okay?
Yeah.
Ah, taking the night train today? Ah, I see.
We'd best hurry.
Take care, okay?
Thank you!
Goodbye.
Mineko.
Somehow... I'm a bit worried about you, Mineko.
About what?
You're feeling guilty, aren't you? About not going home and going swimming instead.
That is... about going to have fun.
You talked about that before, right?
About how when your Dad left as a migrant worker, that whenever you'd watch TV and laugh...
...you'd then feel sorry for having done that.
Maybe you can't help but do that.
But Mineko... you can't not enjoy yourself for the rest of your life.
At this rate... if your Dad isn't found...
...you'll be like this the rest of your life, right?
I don't know what to do about it even if you tell me that.
I'm worried about you.
That you... will never be in love, either.
You should be worried about that for yourself.
I've decided that when I get into the movies...
...that I'll just fall in love with my co-star!
What kind of decision is that?
Anyhow, I'm a little worried about you.
As an older sister.
Who's the older sister?!
Thank you.
All of you have gotten letters.
Thank you.
Here, Mineko.
Thank you.
Tokiko, here.
Thanks.
It's from Chiyoko and Susumu.
What is it?
This.
Whaa!
This!
Whaa!
It's wonderful, isn't it?
Right?
Ah!
Ah, your glasses.
Dad...
...I think I will go swimming in the ocean.
