(Nishino) what’s the matter? Miss Arimori
At this rate, you'll never pass the test to get into music school.
That's okay. Let's take a break from your lesson for a while.
(Sakurako) Take a break?
I'm beginning to doubt that you're really serious about getting into music school.
Take a break and come back when you're ready to work again.
(Cicada)
(Fueko) what’s the matter?
seems like you can't concentrate on your studies
I have a lot to think about
it's not easy
since I don't have the basic skill,
without constant practice, I'll pick up the old habit again
I see
I wonder what happened to your inspiration
There is money from Momo chan. ah?
they say use it for Sakurako's music school
Momo chan seems to have a high exception from you
I'll call and thank her!
thank not only Momo chan, but also Mr. Kawahara as well yep
♬～
(Hiro) welcome
excuse me may I use your phone?
yes, sure, please
♬～
(telephone)
(Kawahara) hello, this is Kawahara
ah... this is Sakurako
thank you very much for the money
ah... Momoko asked for it
I am impressed she is always thinking of the best for the family
ah... I am sorry
no need for apology
well... is Momo nechan (older sister) there?
Momoko is out shopping with my mother
I'll tell her you called
I see
oh, well...
(Momoko) may I ask who it was?
no need to worry
(Cicada)
(Saito) I'm home (Yutaro) sir
ah, Yutaro kun May I ask where you have been?
home tutoring
and the lady in the photo? who is she?
I had a marriage meeting that's what I thought...
in fact, that was the reason I moved to Okazaki
my former teacher recommended me both the marriage meeting with his daughter
and the position at No.2 Normal school
but it's an embarrassing story,
so I kept it to myself why is it embarrassing?
if the things go well, you get a job and a marriage
someone as beautiful as her, that's well done
you think she is beautiful as well?
yeah...
whoever marry her would be a lucky man
not you, sir? I heard he is a navy officer
they met at the party then how about you, sir?
she turned me down the day of the marriage meeting
my former teacher just proceeded the marriage meeting,
without knowing she had someone special
she told me straight
she has a boyfriend
who is a proud man, wants to contribute to the country,
physically fit and respectable
she is not interested in a wimp
like me at all
♬～
is it that funny? no
and then
how come you still go there and continue your tutoring
most would give it up, right?
the tutoring is necessary
to be able to talk to the naval officer at equal basis,
she is trying hard at studying German
by the way, Yutaro kun, tell Sakurako
not to worry about the broken record
sir, the reason why Sakura nechan (older sister)
is feeling down is not she broke the record, I see...
then, is it because I broke the gramophone?
that gramophone is a Keepsake from our father
so of course it's sad that it's broken,
I see. I did a terrible thing
but it's not only the reason
I wonder what else
please think it yourself, sir
♬～(piano)
(knock) come in
Sakurako san yes
I'd like to repair a gramophone
I'll disassemble, is that okay?
please come in yes
sir...
you didn't have to do this
things like a record, after it's broken or worn out,
all you have to do it is to replace it
but
you must treasure the keepsake from your father
like music scores and a gramophone
I apologize for borrowing it
without the consideration no
as a matter of fact, I had a marriage meeting
right after I came to Okazaki and was turned down...
I still have the photo they gave me
even though it's no use, it's hard to throw away
things like that
that's annoying
anyway...
that's the story
ah, I wonder if it works now
shall we try?
maybe one of your father's favorite
yes

(Masa) it was just a momentary happiness
in fact, the turbulent incident is about to happen
♬～("St Louis Blues")
sir! there are lots of water striders there!
they are newt's favorite food, are they? ah, coming!
oops!
ah, do I smell?
a little...
ah, not at all
they look so friendly
he is a physics teacher at normal school
a typical intelligentsia!
they live under the same roof, eat together
I wonder if they use the same bath as well
maybe they are already a couple (laughter)
(Kiyoshi) what! it's nothing
that's impossible with Sakura chan!
impossible!
hey!
Sakurako san! hey!
♬～
!!!!
big brother?
(Tokujiro) hey! (Senkichi) hi, Toku san!
how is the miso preparation going?
how is it? it's good
hey, Kiyoshi it's good, isn’t it?
yeah...
what's wrong with him? he's lovestruck
(Tokujiro) it's nice to be young
I know the feeling who is it?
(craftsman) well... in fact...
what?
(Tokujiro) Hello! I'm coming in! it's grandpa
(Iso) here he comes again!
what's up, today?
ah, good evening! where is that man?
(Iso) Mr. Saito? he is at the library
(Fueko) grandpa, are you going to eat with us?
♬～
Sakurako I want to ask you something?
yes
are you dating with the boarder?
I won't allow it!
I will never allow anything like that!
well, well, what's going to happen to Sakurako's love life?
