(Masa) it's been a few days since Fueko started to work
(Fueko) see you (Sakurako) see you yep
(Kazuko) onechan (aunt), a piggyback ride after the laundry
on that day there was a totally expected visitor at Marronnier apartment
(Kane) then I'll give you a cuddle?
♬～
coffee... you can still find them
you've lost weight, haven’t you?
are you eating all right?
since you haven't been back for a while,
I came to see you
I happened to have a business with navy in Tokyo today
so I stopped by
I am sorry not being able to go back for a long time...
in fact we found out the baby born
in March has a serious eye disease...
I see...
a boy I delivered
it's not really an excuse, but...
what are you doing?
these cookies,
can I take them for my sister's child?
kids love sweet things
but she has never tasted it
take these too
♬～
I see
well, there is still time till the preparation in autumn
but you must come back in autumn
yes, thank you very much
(Fueko) sorry to keep you waiting sorry
well... what number can I connect to?
(Touru cries)
Mrs. Sugi! Mrs. Sugi!
Mrs. Sugi! ah!

I'll take over sorry
(Touru cries)
this is annoying!
(cry)

(Touru cries)
you can't sleep?
we are all tired... please stop crying
ah...
(Togo) what's wrong?
he's been crying at night lately
please go back to bed I just go outside
what's going on?
you take him out everyday and won't come back till it's dark
he's like this at night where did you take Touru?
Fueko...
he might have a fever?
explain it to me, Fueko
Fueko!
I work as a telephone operator
with Touru?
what... don't you feel sorry for Touru?
I want you to paint as much as you like!
that's why! I see!
don't raise you voice
I'll sell my paintings somehow
so quit the job
that's for Toru understood?
♬～
(professor) no, I can't buy your paintings any more
I see...
please don't come here any more
after the exhibition
you are labeled as betrayers of the country of the war time
if they thought I was connected to you
we would get into trouble
I see I understand
here is for this week thank you very much
how was it?
I see...
Sakura chan, I have a favor to ask I want a job
if you know somewhere even a man like me can work, let me know
for Touru
but Fue nechan (older sister) won't let you, will she?
she kept saying "I am a genius"
being told all I need to do is to sit in front of the painting
I get hungry and fart I love my children
I found out after this
I can't keep on painting
ignoring hungry, crying children
this is secret to Fueko I see, I'll look for it
what Sakurako thought about was
professor Saionji
(Matsuo) he'll be here soon yes
(Saionji) Miss Arimori! thank you for coming
nice to see you again! have you been fine? yes
sorry about the mess... no
in fact I'm moving to Manchuria (China) soon as a conductor
after that, he was blacklisted by the authority
he had to quit music school
I am a black sheep in the family
the support from my family was canceled
all I can do is to sell furniture
to get enough money for new life
I see... Manchuria (China)
it's withdrawal!
Matsuo! stop crying
Tatsuhiko kun is overseas, isn't he?
have you heard from him?
I haven't received a letter for a year
I see...
something I can't do anything about it
I try not to think about it
instead I try do things
for people around me now
is it about your older sister?
professor, in fact I am looking for a job
at this casting factory, they said be there by 8 tomorrow
I see
a portrait work?
yeah, my older brother's acquaintance he lives in Hongo and former member of Diet

Togo san... yep?

(Yasuji) "when war is imminent"
at that time
Yasuji who couldn't sell his paintings like Togo
he sits on the fence again
earning money from picture story cards
to lift the spirit for the war of the time
(Yasuji) "he flew to the air in high spirits
Momotaro were again American and British enemies
Momotaro, the young swordsman..."
what happened to Momotaro!? (children) that's right!
shut up! shut up! Momoko san! Momoko san!
Mr. Akiyama...

Mr. Akiyama...

Mr. Akiyama! Mr. Akiyama are you all right!?
(Momoko) developing into pneumonia and malnutrition
