Let's go.
- Hello there. - Good afternoon.
Ah, welcome.
Yo, welcome.
She's waiting on the second floor.
Ever since this morning she's caused trouble by saying excitingly, "My friends are coming."
Yoko! Yoko! Your friends are here!
Yes!
Ah! Machiko-san, Ikuko!
Welcome!

Well? Have you gotten used to life as a wife?
Hmm... I don't know if I could say I've gotten used to it...
...but it is fun.
Both my Father and Mother are kind.
Really?
Still, I'm surprised. That Yoko's now a wife.
I was surprised, too. It was so sudden, wasn't it?
I was surprised, too.
What's that?
Still...
What is it?
Aren't you lonely?
Hmm...
Of course I'm lonely, but how I can I put it?
It's a bit of a strange feeling.
Strange?
Yeah.
After all, it's not like he's someone I've been living with for a long time, now is it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
It's only been a little while since I even first met him.
That's why I think it's a slightly different sort of loneliness.
It's the sort of loneliness where I wish we could have spent more time together...
...and that we could have talked a lot more.
Hmm...
But...
Huh?
I guess I am a little lonely.
Yeah. It's good to be honest!
Yes. Thank you very much.
How about you, Machiko-san? Has anything changed for your fiancée?
No, same as ever.
I see...
Lots of things have happened to you two.
- That's true. - That's right.
I'm sorry.
Still, it's been a long time since the three of us met like this, hasn't it?
That's true.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
That's right! Today's about Ikuko!
Are you doing well in Tokyo?
I am. I'm terribly busy there.
Right now the state of the war is serious and it's gotten tough for women's magazines.
That "Luxuries are the enemy," thing.
Right now I'm writing an article about the brave women...
...who have sent their husbands and sons off to the front while they protect the home front.
But I'm the only woman on the editorial staff, so it's totally fun!
All of us are very busy and doing our best.
I see. That's fantastic, isn't it?
It is.
That's why I can't spend much time over here.
I need to hurry back and get to my job; it'll cause a TON of problems if I don't.
Ah, wife!
Eh?
Can I borrow your bathroom for a little bit?
Yes. Go out and to your left then in back.
Roger!
Ikuko... she's overdoing it, isn't she?
That's true. I thought so as well.
Tokyo... maybe it isn't going well for her there?
Yes... Maybe so.
But, wouldn't it be best not to say anything to her?
Yeah.
That's right.
How did it end up like this, I wonder?
Those two are just so dazzling.
Okay!
"Anata" to kotaeru yama no kodamano I call out "Dear," and the mountains echo with it
What's that? A snack?
Yeah.
When 3 girls get together, they want their sweets, don't they?
That's true.
Oi, oi, oi. Any good?
- Yeah. Delicious! - They're delicious?
Yes! Welcome!
Ala!
Ah?
Oh!
That's wrong! Ikuko, it was your fault.
No, no, it was Yoko! Yoko!
That's true; it was Yoko-san.
Eh?
Who are these people who know me?
Never mind that and just hurry! Come!
Who's voice is that?
I wonder whose it is?
It feels like a voice I hate.
Excuse us a moment.
Eh?
Octopus...
You've missed him, right?
Right?
Take your time, Octopus-sensei.
It's been a long time. Ohisashiburi desu.
Is that right!
Well... this is a surprise! All of you are doing splendidly.
Sensei, how are the people at the school?
I've left the teaching profession.
Once the English lessons disappeared.
After all, English is the enemy's language.
Ah, that's right.
I'm working at a textile mill right now.
Is that right.
It's because all I can do is speak English.
I...
Please cheer up, Sensei.
Thank you.
Ah, there's that.
It was thanks to Sensei that the three of us became such great friends.
Right?
Ah... Yes!
Eh? Is that right?
That's right!
Thanks to our hate of you...
...we became the best of friends and had a wonderful time at the Girl's School.
Huh?
Ikuko-san.
Ah... that was...
I see.
But, I'm glad for that!
If I was of use, then I was a good teacher.
Sensei.
We loved those words you told us when we graduated.
It's in the enemy's language, but I'll say it.
Jyosei-tachi yo, yoki jinsei o.
Well ladies, enjoy your lives.
Sensei mo, yoki jinsei o.
Enjoy your life, too, sir.
Let's try our best. (Isshoni ganbarimashou)
I am grateful, sir. (Kanjashitemasu, Sensei)
Thank you! Arigato.
Thank you.
I'm glad I got to meet you.
So glad.
Now, Sensei, let's eat!
Dad's snacks are delicious! Here!
Yes! Itadakimasu!
Good taste! Oishii!
Sorry.
No, "sorry."
Sorry.
Sorry. OK! Good!
"And then Ikuko returned to Tokyo."
"Before long, Tokyo would be turned into a burning field..."
That's right...
Tokyo had huge air raids, didn't it?
That's why I already regretted it even at the time.
Why didn't I drag more information out of her and not let her go back to Tokyo, I asked myself.
There was nothing you could have done.
There was no reason you could have known what would happen to Tokyo.
That's right, isn't it?
Thank you.
Not at all.
Still, that was a wonderful wedding, wasn't it?
Ala... Thank you.
Ah... But...
Would I have been able to endure it?
To have my husband sent off to war the day after we got married.
No... I absolutely couldn't have borne that.
But, Fusako-chan.
Yes?
It wasn't a matter of whether I had the choice of enduring it or not enduring it.
You just had to, huh?
Yeah.
After all, in those times, everyone had to endure such things.
So we had no choice but to. It wasn't just me alone.
Yes...
Ah... Still, I wasn't particularly calm about it.
Not calm at all.
But I had no choice but to be.
I see...
I guess I really was lonely.
So lonely.
1, 2. 1, 2...
Are you okay?
Thank you.
I'll help out, too!
Sho-chan, you're great. Get in here. Yes.
Here. Do your best.
Okay.
Here, do your best.
Yes.
Here, do your best.
Even so, why are we the only ones getting this?
I don't know.
It's because you guys use fire, isn't it?
If a bomb fell here, that wouldn't make any difference, now would it?
That's too much! That's too much water!
Even if you say that, there's nothing we can do.
Don't go saying such twaddle! Do it seriously!
Yes!
It's essential we extinguish the fire first! Faster!
1, 2! 1, 2!
I'm just saying this is too much! Geez!
1 hole...
...2, 3, 4 holes...
5 holes...
6...
That's why I said it was too much.
7 holes...
Say, that's cold! What is this! It's cold!
We hit the jackpot!
Oi, no joking around.
Seven hits means we win the prize, doesn't it?
Just give that up, geez.
