(Masa) at the Arimori family,
Fueko decided to have a boarder,
but that caused the problem
(Fueko) we must save money to fund for Yutaro's university education,
we must do it
(Tokujiro) the day a male boarder moves in....
(Iso)that's impossible! we already have an appointment for the interview today
a man?
(Uemura) Hello! How do you do? My name is Uemura
coming! please go home, grandpa!
I won't leave!
♬～
I will decide the boarder!
♬～
Mr. Uemura, works for insurance company?
(Uemura) Yes, I've been working for them for 8 years
they have transferred me to Okazaki
seems like a nice occupation
You are from Kanagawa? Yes
we have Ryokan (Japanese inn) along the beach in Hayama
fish around there must be very tasty yes,
but there are quite a few tasty things around here as well
Udon is very nice but that red Miso,
to be honest, that was terrible
wasn't for me
I can't imagine having breakfast with that,
if it's possible, please use white miso
please leave! pardon?
you are not good enough to be the boarder! just leave!
oh no! stop it, Yutaro!
grandpa! why did you turn him down?
"miso isn't suitable for his taste"
I almost had the agreement with a good border!
How can I let someone put down the people of Okazaki!
he will look down on us every day!
Needs must when the devil drives!
you are finished when you lost your self-respect!
(Man) hello I am here for the room
♬～
(Yamada) I saw the sign my name is Yamada
you are looking for a boarder? yes!
everyone, say hello! please come in!
greeting? yes!
(everyone) how do you do!
♬～
a man of fate
has arrived in town of Okazaki
♬～
(Saito) sorry! sorry!
♬～
excuse me... where is Takechiyo real estate?
(Sakurako) well, you just go down there,
turn right at the corner of public bath and on your left
turn left at the corner of public bath? turn right
ah.. I'll help you
ah thank you
♬～
ah! thank you very much
thank goodness! It's not broken do you like classical music?
yeah, this is Chopin
It is broken, I can't forgive myself
good to see!
thank you very much I appreciate it
I will be teaching physics at No.2 Normal school (teachers' college)
well, to be precise, start teaching from this fall
I was transferred then to a real estate?
yes, I haven't found the lodging yet
ok, that way?
ah, well!
are you really looking for, a lodging?
my name is Naomichi Saito
"write straight road" (Chinese character) NAOMICHI
you are physics teacher at normal school?
that's great! not at ll, at all
our Yutaro wants to study science as well
try an entrance exam at Hach HS a year after next,
then eventually go to Tokyo Teidai (Tokyo university)
I see
but he is not good at math at all
there is a hope, even Einstein failed at math
wow! Einstein as well?
ah, I can help him with math from time to time, if you like?
well, that is if you let me stay here
Of course OK, Fue chan
yeah a teacher at normal school,
you can't find a more decent lodger
yes, of course we have an empty room
but is it OK?
to ask you to help with Yutaro's study?
(Yutaro) I'll be fine. I can study on my own
what are you talking about! he is offering you a favor
hello!
here he comes again...
(Tokujiro) coming in! excuse me, sir...
this way, please it's hot there
it has better air circulation it is hot!
I don't particularly feel hot it's hot! yes!
who is this man? My name is Naomichi Saito
"write straight road" (Chinese character) NAOMICHI
I am a new lodger here
a lodger?
(Saito) ah, it has miso flavor?
(Tokujiro) meat miso pickle I see. smells so nice~
this is not for you this is...
Miso here is red, unlike the one in Kanto
it has unique flavor oh, that's right
if you steam soy beans, you will get that color
well. that's right? the color comes from steaming...
but I wonder why? perhaps Maillard reaction?
ah?
(Saito) I've been thinking about it for a while
I solve a part of the problem today great!
thank you very much I will have it with everyone tonight
...
(Iso) well, sir please have some sweets!
"To Momo nechan (older sister), we have a new lodger
his name is Naomichi Saito, a physics teacher at normal school,
but a bit unusual"
good morning
♬～
"it was the first time to have
a young man living in the house,
not only aunt Iso was excited about it, but also Fue nechan (older sister) as well
even Fue nechan (older sister) couldn't stay still"
♬～
sir, this ah, thank you
ah... sir, glasses
"I think it's convenient
to have a man in the house."
thank you very much
by the way, how are the things over there?
Is Mr. Kawahara treating you well?
a bit worried"
(Kawahara) I'm home! (Momoko) yes!
welcome back yeah
that is fine thank you
the light is still on
it's dirty
I'll clean it right away
you must turn off the light when it's done
it's waste of electricity
♬～
excuse me...
what?
who was doing the housework before?
(Sachie) we had a maid
it is difficult to employ a person
especially the young one they soon complain
if I point out something, they quit right away
they last 3 months, if you are lucky
on the other hand, wife is convenient, right Ryo san. well, yeah
♬～
it was long after when Sakurako found out
of Momoko's hardship
♬～
I'm home!
(Cicada)
Yu chan, what are you doing?
in Soseki Natunme (novelist)'s "young master"(Botchan),
place locust in bed, I recall
to place locust in bed?
it's childish, right ah, newt!
but both aunt Iso and Fue nechan (older sister) are always
smiling in front of Mr. Saito I don't like it
don't be foolish!
(cricket)
♬～
good morning! good morning!
Newt's favorite food is tubifex
but this is strange~
I wonder why so many newts came to bed last night.
perhaps my body smelled like tubifex right!
ah... yes
Mr. Saito is a bit unusual
