Good morning!
It's been one month since Minoru-san returned to Ookuibaraki.
Ah, it seems Minoru-san is fully at home with farm work, isn't he?
We'll fertilize the area around the kidney beans today.
Hmm... now's the season for that, huh?
Yeah.
When you were growing up you'd say, "I want to do the fertilizing."
Working the fields is difficult, isn't it?
I ain't easy work.
I only know about being a farmer, and nothing about any other kind of work though.
I see.
Chiyoko.
Huh?
I guess your Onee-chan's school summer clothes are too big for you?
Want me to tighten up the shoulders?
Are they too big?
Don't worry about it. "Better too big than too small," they say.
Really?
Yeah.
It's that, it's that!
What is it?
Big things are good things
Ookii kodo wa ii kodo da
Big things are good things
Ookii kodo wa ii kodo da
That's right, huh?
Want seconds?
Yeah, thanks.
Yum!
That's good! I love this.
You do?
Huh? What is it?
Could it be I liked this before, too?
Really? I see.
Mineko-sama, how are you doing?
Thank you for helping out during the rice planting.
Did you have to go to work as soon as you got back there?
I feel that must have been tough for you, so sorry about that.
You're late, Genji-san!
Yes.
Are you doing your best at work?
Since I feel sure you must be worried...
...I thought I would bring you up-to-date about us here.
Here Chiyoko, your bento.
Yes, thank you.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Then we'll get going.
Have a nice day.
Dad, we're off!
We're off!
Be careful.
We will!
Your Dad is doing well.
He's working with all his might to become his former self.
It's not like he's gotten his memories back...
...but I do think he is trying to be Yatabe Minoru.
Here's some tea.
Thank you. I'm off.
He's trying really hard.
But sometimes he gets these terrible nightmares at night.
The expressions he gets... make me feel very sad for him.
It's painful to watch.
Watahiki-san came to visit us yesterday.
I troubled you greatly... and gave you a lot of worries.
Thank you very much.
Ah, no, you don't have to...
Former Police Box Officer Watahiki Masayoshi
Um... Watahiki-san.
Is something the matter?
Ah...
Ah, well, um...
It's just since I've been looking at that photo for so long.
Eh?
Ah, how do I put this...
It's just since I've been looking at the photo of Yatabe Minoru-san for so long...
...meeting the real you is a strange feeling; like I'm meeting a movie star or something.
Eh?
I wondered if you could talk!
I'm sorry.
No...
Still...
Yes?
I'm truly happy for you.
This really is great.
Thank you very much.
Ah... Mineko-chan must be delighted, isn't she?
She is.
Thank goodness.
Ah... when I was searching for you...
...I met and talked with someone...
...who had worked together with you at a construction site, Minoru-san.
At a building site in Kasumigaseki...
...the topic was, "It's almost time to harvest the rice. Will you be going home for it?"
That was then chatted about.
Are you heading back for the rice harvest?
Yes, I think so.
I'll be going home myself pretty soon.
Yes.
The rice paddies are so beautiful at this time of the year.
Ain't they though.
He only met you at a few worksites, but you were never one to cut corners...
...and he said whenever overtime work was needed, you were sure to raise your hand for it.
And it seemed you would encourage the others with a "Let's do our best!"
Is that right...
I'm sorry.
That's as much as I have that I can tell you about yourself.
Ah, no.
Thank you very much.
Ah, not at all...
Ah...
Um...
Here is the photo of Yatabe Minoru-san you left with me.
I return it to you.
Won't be needing it anymore, will I?
Thank you very much.
Um...
Yes?
What's up?
Um...
I was wondering if you could tell me more about the time when I was gone.
About Dad and Miyoko and Chiyoko and Susumu.
And...
...about what happened to Mineko.
I want to know all about that.
I'll bring in some tea.
Thank you.
The start was when all of the mail we had sent to you was returned.
They had "Unknown Forwarding Address" written on them.
That was not long after...
...the harvesting was finished and you had returned to Tokyo.
I then tried calling the boardinghouse you were at...
...but they told me that you hadn't been back there for days.
I got worried... and after discussing it with Father-in-law...
...I then went to Tokyo alone.
But, even after going to the boardinghouse...
...and to the construction company where you had been hired...
...they just told me that you hadn't come to either in many days.
They told me they had no idea where you had gone to...
I told him about it.
About how I had gone to Tokyo alone to look for him.
About how I had found no clues at all about him.
And about how Mineko had gone to Tokyo...
...both to work and to look for her Father.
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.
Chiyoko, do your best, okay! Do your best, okay?!
Chiyoko...
Onee-chan!
Do your best, okay?! Do your best, okay?!
About what happened to you after you had gone to Tokyo...
...I'll leave telling him about that someday to you, Mineko.
I think your Father wants to know all about it.
Thanks for your hard work.
Have a good night.
So long; see you tomorrow.
Yes, see you tomorrow.
Dad...
I'm doing just fine.
Whaa... Eh... Whaa!
Talking to the stars, are you?
