A week has passed since Mineko began living with Minoru.
May, huh...
Huh?
Well, I was just thinking it's about time for the rice-planting season.
Ehh... It is?
Yeah.
Rice-planting is hard, isn't it?
You have to use your waist.
Still, when the water is spread over the rice fields...
...the blue sky is reflected in it and it is very beautiful.
Ehh... It feels like it's sparkling.
At that time I didn't know...
...just what sort of scenery Dad was imagining in his head...
...but Dad...
...then told me he wanted to know more about himself.
You worked at construction sites.
And for the National Stadium to the Tokyo Olympic Games.
You worked at that site, too.
Hmm...
After that I told him everything I knew about what sort of person...
...the man named Yatabe Minoru was.
I told him how he was a kind Dad who worked hard for the sake of his family.
I took my time in telling him about it.
Quit spacin' out!
Ah... sorry!
She's a beauty, ain't she?
That's my oldest daughter, Mineko. She's in her last year of high school right now...
...but when she entered high school and it was time to take this commemorative photo...
...they were all so contrary about doing it.
This is my second daughter, Chiyoko, and this is my eldest son, Susumu.
And this is my wife.
Hey! Don't do that in the house!
No way!
And then, during the last time you came back to Ookuibaraki...
...you had bought shoes for me and Chiyoko and Susumu.
We still wear and treasure those shoes even now.
Really?
And then...
Yeah.
Ah... give me this for a bit.
You would go like this to your children.
What is that?!
It's okay!
Stop it!
That...
...was a happy thing for you?
Hmm?
I guess.
Well, still, you shouldn't do that to a daughter of my age.
I see.
Well, those are the things I can tell you about.
But...
Yeah.
The Yatabe Minoru-san I can talk about is the one who is my Father.
I don't know any more than that.
Yeah...
There's lots of other things about you...
Things that happened between your birth and becoming an adult...
You'd have to find those things out from Grandpa and your younger brother, Muneo-san.
And moreover, what the man Yatabe Minoru is like...
...is something Mom would know.
That's who I think can tell you.
That's what I think.
Yeah...
Uh look, Dad...
It's about time that...
Mineko-chan.
Eh?
Mineko.
Yes.
Maybe I should go back to...
...Ookuibaraki.
What do you think?
Yeah...
All right.
Let's go home.
And then... Aiko-san started singing!
That's a lie!
It's the truth, Aiko-san!
I was surprised, too.
You've talked in your sleep before, but since I've heard about that, I didn't mention it...
...but this is the first time I've heard a person singing in their sleep!
Sleep singing? Not sleep talking.
That's it.
She's definitely lying! Tokiko-san, then just what was it I was singing?
Let's see, it was...
The glowing...
Shitamachi no
That's me!
Last Night
Who's that singing?
The glowing sky of downtown
Shitamachi no sora ni kagayaku
Makes my heart ache
Kokoro no itamu
Still, I can understand that.
In my case, it seems I took to dancing in my sleep at night.
Eh?! Sleep dancing?
I may have been dreaming about the Ozashiki.
(dinner party in a tatami room with geishas)
It seems I would stand up and dance.
I think that would be a slightly dangerous thing to do.
Ah, Mineko.
Good morning.
When Aiko-san is sleeping... Huh?
What's the matter, Mineko?
Has something happened?
Last night Dad said, "Maybe I should go back to Ibaraki."
Eh? Really?
That's great, isn't it?
Not, "wonder if I should go," but "I should go home"?
Yes.
And? Then why the gloomy face?
That's true, huh?
Right now it's rice-planting season there. I feel he's finally gotten to this point, though.
It's fantastic, isn't it?
But look... the restaurant.
Since Takako-san quit, there haven't been enough hands there.
We're barely managing as it is; I couldn't take a vacation..
There's no one who can take my place.
Hmm... there's that, huh.
I see.
A simple day trip wouldn't work out either, no matter how fast they plant.
That's right, isn't it?
Just explain things properly to Suzuko-san.
Don't worry... okay?
That's true, huh...
If you were okay with me...
...I would be free to go with him, though.
Thank you very much.
I'm off to work.
Have a nice day.
Get going.
It's nothing.
What is it, Mineko?
You have a look that says you can't say what you want to say.
How could you tell all that?
You're such a fool.
You don't have to worry about such a thing. It's fine for you to take a vacation.
But... I feel that...
...I'd just be causing you trouble if I weren't here.
Though you could say I'm boasting there...
Well, you are an important strength for us.
It will be tough for us without you.
But this and that are separate issues.
It's important, isn't it?
Your own life is far, far more important.
Make sure you go home together and then find out...
...if your Father can live well there.
Huh?
Mineko.
Without you here, I think it will be very tough for all of us.
But, since you're a precious friend to us, we'll all do our best to fill in.
So... don't worry about it! Okay?
Get going!
Now that that's been decided, go on and hurry up!
Eh? Today? Right now?
Of course! Since your Father feels ready for it at long last.
You should do it as soon as possible! Go on, hurry!
Yes! Thank you very much!
Yes, now get going!
I'll be going!
Have a nice time.
Get going.
Get going. Go on, go on! Hurry, hurry!
Be careful, okay?
I will!
Dad!
Let's go home.
Yeah.
