Hide, wanna come out for a bit?
Yes!
What is this, Hide? You never go out when I ask.
There's no particular benefit in it for me.
I see.
Dad...
...I've finished my work at Suzufuritei again today.
When work is over, the men go out drinking...
...while we go to the public bathhouse.
Up in Suzufuritei's second floor where Suzuko-san's home is, there's a bath...
...but I think she prefers the noise and fuss that comes with going with us.
Among the men...
...was Fukushiro's Goro-san and the owner of the wagashi shop, too.
But Yasuharu-san hated going anywhere along with his Father.
He's an annoying man.
Stop that! You're awful.
And with that, I've worked hard all day.
Sleeping is the happiest time for me.
When I sleep, I think about all sorts of people.
From Ookuibaraki, Mom and Grandpa...
...Chiyoko, Susumu, Muneo-san, the villagers...
...Mitsuo and Tokiko.
And Sachiko-san, Yuko-san, Sumiko, Toyoko and Aiko-san.
And of course, you Dad.
It will soon be a year since I came to Tokyo.
I see all of them in my dreams.
But recently for some reason...
...my dreams are all in purple.
Ah... I mustn't forget to set...
Alarm clock...
Oh my, Mineko-chan went to sleep without setting her alarm clock.
She absolutely can't wake up without it, can she?
The Next Morning
Why is it...
...that my body is waiting for her alarm clock to go off...
Why isn't it going off?
I wonder why?
Ah, just as I thought... She'll be late for the first time, won't she?
What's going on...? Will she be okay not getting up?
Well, I'm not particularly worried about her, though.
Will she be okay not getting up?
Well, it's not like I'm worried about her or anything...
Ah, this is irritating!
I can't take it.
Ah...
Well, it's okay.
It's not okay.
Gotta be careful... Better hurry or I'll be late.
But...
Did I turn it off? When did I?
Dad. I haven't been late yet.
I'm proud of that.
Takako-san and Genji-san will be late sometimes.
There...
Ah, good morning!
'Morning.
You're good about the mornings, aren't you? You don't oversleep.
Since I was raised by farmers, I get up early in the mornings.
Ehh...
Another beautiful day out today, isn't it?
It is.
Let's work together today, too!
Yeah, let's do.
After working hard every day, tomorrow will be my day off.
Day Off
Why?
It's her day off, isn't it?
Why is her alarm clock ringing?
Why did it not ring yesterday, but does ring today?
Argh! Hurry and turn it off!
Oh my, Mineko-chan has done it, hasn't she?
She's made a mistake and set her alarm clock to go off on her day off, hasn't she?
Ah...
Hello...
Did you sleep well?
Eh? Ah... yes.
Guess you would, huh.
Huh?
Hello.
Ah... hello.
You two are on good terms, aren't you?
Eh?
We're nothing of the sort.
Eh?
Is that right.
Then you're quite the kind person, Sanae-san.
Right?
Huh?
He's a somewhat disagreeable man, isn't he?
Huh? I am?
Yes.
Somehow you have a face like it has the free time to look down on us common people from above.
What was that?
Um...
Be quiet!
After all, it's true, isn't it?
Your family are millionaires who've been running a pharmaceutical company in Saga Prefecture for generations...
...and though there isn't a person in Saga that doesn't know your family...
...and though it's been decided that you'll be the next heir...
...you went to the bother of living in an apartment like this. It's that, isn't it?
It's that it's best while you are young that you come to know the hardships...
...and come to know how the lower classes live, isn't it?
Why must I be told such a thing by you?
Um...
You be quiet, god of poverty.
Zuun... god of poverty.
(manga sound effect term: "sad")
How about you give up on that manga that will never, ever sell?
This apartment complex has reeked with your god of poverty smell since forever.
Gaan!
(manga sound effect term: "shock")
Your mother in the countryside said you should come home, didn't she?
She said she'd look for a job for you. Do that.
Even if you say that...
Thing is, what about your partner? Your buddy.
Ever since he went back to his parent's place at the end of the year, he hasn't come back, right?
He's dumped you.
I'm worried about him even now.
Is that so?
Yes... He hasn't contacted me...
Yes, you've been dumped, you've been dumped.
Ahh!
I see. Because that's just the personality you have, isn't it?
What?
Nothing.
Because you're strong-willed and don't understand self control, you'll be overly frank in what you say...
...and that's why you've been turned down 40 times at omiais.
(formal marriage interview)
I have to think there's little wonder in that.
40 times...
38 times!
And then, back in her girl's high school days...
...she preached at the male teacher she liked until he cried.
Eh?!
That was because he was in the wrong.
Because he was in the wrong that made it okay to make him cry?
In spite of being a man, the one who cries is wrong.
Even men can cry!
Um...
May I ask all of you one question?
What is it?
Go ahead.
How do you know so much about one another?
Eh?
She has a point.
I heard about them from the landlady.
Me, too.
Eh?
How would the landlady know such things?
That's true. She does tell me about other people...
...but I don't talk about myself. How does she know?
It's true I have no reason to talk to her about myself.
I see...
Huh?
Yes.
She's on the phone, isn't she?
Well, Tokyo and Saga are different.
Ah...
Huh?
At 7 last night, your son...
The one she's on the phone with is my Mother.
Eh?
That's right.
I haven't caught sight of him in a situation where....
...he's being ensnared by any strange women. Yes.
Huh? There are two women in my apartment complex...
The first is a scary woman who goes out late...
...while the other is just a country girl.
Please feel at ease about them.
Yes, please leave him to me.
And about those delicious things you're always sending...
Well, thank you so very much!
Dad...
It seems the Landlady's goal in calling not only Shimatani-san's family...
...but also Sanae-san and the manga artist's families as well...
...was to hit them up for tasty treats.
I'm so happy my family doesn't have a phone.
By the way, it's almost the season...
...for those scrumptious Takesaki crabs, isn't it?

Next week on "Hiyokko"...
My! I'm so happy!
...it's the time for the sakura to dance and new school terms.
Mineko's friends increase.
It was like meeting Naito Yoko every day!
Ya've come, right?
You have the feel of a hard worker.
Can she make 100 friends?
I just had a good idea!
Keep this a secret from everyone.
I won't tell.
Eh... I'm curious!
