It is Showa 59 (1984), March.
Norio-kun has retired from Kiaris.
Sumire only goes in to work at the Alterations Department once a month...
...and then works at her own pace.
Sakura and Kentaro-kun have become independent, and are living on their own now.
It's about time, isn't it?
Ah, it is nearly time, isn't it?
Yeah.
Ah... It's a beautiful day out, isn't it?
It is.
Oh!
Grandpa! Grandma!
You've grown again, haven't you?
You're here because me and your Grandma kept saying, "bring her, bring her."
Please watch over her during this spring break, too.
Please take care of her.
Her annual Spring Break vacation, spent at Grandpa and Grandma's house...
...has just begun.

Ozenzai...
(soft bean-jam cake)
Eat it carefully so you don't burn yourself, okay?
Yeah.
Ai will be attending a cram school starting this year.
Ah, a cram school.
A cram school for getting into college.
Sumire's Granddaughter Murata Ai (10)
Since she is saying she wants to take the exams for middle school...
Itadakimasu.
Yeah. Have some.
Is it hot?
Is there a particular school you want to go to?
It seems she's just started thinking about that...
...but she has a lot of friends at school who are already taking the exams.
She's already at this point, huh...
Her spring classes don't start until 10, so I hate to ask this of you, Mom...
...but could you take her this bento?
A bento!
A bento, huh?
Thank you for doing this.
I will!
How nice...
Checkmate!
Guess there just isn't anyone who can win against Shoichi-san.
Still, I'm so sleepy.
Geez, all you do is sleep.
I need my sleep.
Here, your rice omelet. Thanks for waiting.
That's it! That's it!
Mama, I'll have a rice omelet, too.
Yes, one rice omelet.
Good afternoon.
Has Ai come?
She hasn't.
Ah, I see.
I'm to meet her here.
Really?
Akemi-san, Eisuke-san. How are you?
We're doing well.
Good afternoon.
Ai!
Have you gotten taller again?
Yeah.
Sit over here.
Sit down, sit down.
Ryu.
Huh?
Why aren't you married?
What's da rush? Somethin' up?
It is a rush. You're 40 already. You'll be 50 in the blink of an eye.
Ryu-san, check please.
Ah, yes, yes!
Thanks for the food.
Part timer Haruka (20)
Come again.
What do you think of that old man?
Ryu-san is very popular.
I suppose...
Isn't it okay to have a different lifestyle?
That's true, but...
Everyone keeps asking me why we haven't registered for marriage, too...
...but even after 10 years, we seem to be getting along just fine. Right?
What is it?
Actually...
What?
...I'm supposed to go to the hospital tomorrow for an exam.
An exam?
Are you feeling ill?
No, it's just in case.
Even if you say, "just in case"...
Tell me properly. Don't just mix it in as part of the conversation.
There's a little... something wrong with my stomach...
Akemi-san... must be worried, huh?
Yeah.
We're at that age, huh...
We are...
Huh? Ai, you're still up?
What are you doing at this hour?
Reading a book.
Ah...
Oh... you have all of these?
They're heavy, aren't they?
They are.
When I was a child, I loved books.
Really? You too, Grandma?
Yeah.
I would get so caught up in them that before I realized it, it would be morning.
When I read one, I want to keep reading it until the end.
Me, too. But even so, you have cram school tomorrow, don't you?
If you haven't slept, you'll just fall asleep mid-way through it.
Don't want that... In that case, I'll stop at page 200.
Ai, rise and shine. Ai, c'mon, wake up!
Ai!
Though I made you ozenzai for breakfast, will you have time to eat it?
Ozenzai...?
I did.
I want to eat that...
C'mon, wake up. Here, change your clothes.
Got your bento? You didn't forget anything?
Yeah.
Be careful.
All right.
Have a nice time.
I'm off!
Yeah, be careful, okay?
Ah... Norio-san. Norio-san.
Ai?
Ai! Ai! What's the matter? Are you okay?!
Are you okay, Ai?
Grandma...
Ah, what's happened?
I fell asleep...
You shouldn't be this much like me.
What time is it now?
It's already past 10.
I slept for an hour or so.
Oh my...
Cram school!
Ah, that's right. Your bag.
Ah, Ai. How was cram school?
Now, let's eat.
Yeah.
For Ai.
Itadakimasu.
Yeah, go ahead.
You didn't enjoy cram school?
It might not be all that fun since it's studying.
Ah, that's right.
Itadakimasu.
What did you study today? Huh?
Could we not talk about studying again?
Really?
Why, I wonder...
Huh?
About Ai.
Don't you feel she's being a bit elusive about what she's thinking about?
Yeah. Maybe so.
Even so, she's a very good girl.
That is true.
I know that, too.
This bento looks so good.
I made a share for you too, Norio-san.
Eh? Some for me, too?
Since today's the day we go in to work for once a month.
Ah, that is today, isn't it?
Yeah.
Wouldn't it be better like this?
Akemi-san. How'd it go with Eisuke-san at the hospital?
I went with him this morning, but they didn't release his exam results...
...so we don't know anything.
When will it be out?
Two weeks from now.
That's a long time, isn't it...
It is a long time.
Akemi-san, be indifferent to it. Indifferent.
I should, huh?
Thank you for coming in to work.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for yours.
Kiaris will be celebrating its 35th anniversary.
Here are the materials regarding our announcement at next month's 35th anniversary party to open the Ginza branch.
Kiaris Branch Store 1985 Spring Grand Opening
I was thinking of announcing our next personnel changes at the party as well.
I want to make a splendid announcement about you being made the President of Kiaris, Kentaro-kun.
Take-chan was handing the office of President over to Kentaro-kun...
...and had also decided to make Abe-kun a company director.
I have the mail to be delivered to the President.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Huh? What's this? From a foreign country?
Was a photo included?
Eh?
Ah, here it is, here it is.
I wonder why he suddenly called us to come over?
I wonder if something's happened?
Ah, I thought he'd become an ornament.
Hello, how do you do? My name is Jasmine Morris.
"Nice to meet you. Hello. My name is Jasmine Morris."
I heard that my parents were in Kobe, Japan right after World War II.
"My parents told me they had been in Kobe, Japan..."
"...right after the end of World War II."
My mother's name is Amy McGregor.
Amy?
Thank you.
