"Serial TV Story"
I thought I should try those things for myself at the end.
I wish you wouldn't say, "at the end."
It's related to that evacuated child? Ah, Kyoko-chan, isn't it?
I want to see Mom...
I want to see Dad...

"Showa 20, the year the war ended."
"Showa 20, March (1945)"
"I shall never forget that year."
"That year, we were so hungry."
"At last the Maru-an business had run out and we had to shut the store."
"Closed for business"
Sorry for mixing in with you like this.
I'm all alone during meals...
...and I just can't take that anymore.
Yeah.
When we all eat together like this, it gives it a much more delicious taste.
That's right, isn't it, Yoko-chan.
Yeah. Of course.
Thank you.
Setsuko-san, you don't...
Crocodile tears! Crocodile tears!
Eh?
You saw through me?
Very well.
I know you, Onee-chan.
Geez, what is this?
Geez!
Onee-chan, Nobuko-chan's doing well, isn't she?
Ah, she's fine.
Eh? This "Nobuko-san." She'd be Setsuko-san's...?
Yes, yes. My daughter.
She went and married someone in Hammamatsu...
...and it seems there was a huge air raid there the other day.
Since we regularly train for that, we'll be okay.
That's right.
Still, there's nothing we can do if they drop them right on top of us.
Oi, oi. Don't say such unpleasant things. For pete's sake.
Ah, good morning!
Ah, 'morning! Get going.
I'm off!
"Dad went to a factory for work."
"He had a lonely feeling about him."
"Dad had worked on the Maru-an ever since he was 14 years old."
"It's a painful thing for a businessman who has to close his store."
Get going!
Do your best!
Yeah!
"Everyone encouraged one another in their lives."
Thrust! That's it!
Thrust more!
Don't drop your lower back!
That's it, that's it! There! Next!
"To be honest, that what they were practicing was how to kill people..."
"...it gave me an unpleasant feeling and made me scared."
"But, I also knew that we had to resolve ourselves for battle."
Okay! Next!
Yes!
Your stance!
Thrust deep!
- Are you okay? - Yes!
Have a fighting spirit! A fighting spirit!
That's it!
Thrust! Thrust more!
Ah... I'm not very good at this. I'm sorry.
No.
Can I draw your picture, Yoko-sensei?
Eh? You want to draw me?
Yes.
I'm kind of tense.
Ah, Kyoko-chan, Chizuko-chan!
Ehh!
Ah, you're good!
Right?
Ah...
You're doing your best, too, Yoko-chan.
Why don't you tell me that I'm good, too?
No, no. Look, see. I can't lie in front of the children. Right?
Eh!?
Geez!
Yes, yes, you captured the feeling of her forehead. You're good.
Huh?
It's nothing, it's nothing. Look, concentrate, concentrate.
Yes.
"Those were happy days when Kyoko-chan's smile had returned."
There. All done.
All done!
Eh? That was fast.
How is it?
Ahh!
That's great, Kyoko-chan.
Ah...
Enough already.
Here!
Thank you very much.
Not at all.
Ah... Say, let me see.
Here.
Whaa! You really are good!
Um, would it be okay to send this picture to my Mom?
Eh? Ah, yeah, of course. Here!
Thank you very much.
Yes.
I'm drawing each person right now.
All those in Red Class.
So I can sent them to my Mother.
I see.
Is your mother doing well?
Yes.
She said my Dad's gotten better and they've returned to our home.
Really?
That's great, isn't it?
Yes. We're happy. Right?
Yeah!
Yoko-sensei, thank you very much.
Very much.
Not at all.
Natsuko-sensei.
What is it?
You had such a happy expression on your face while reading that letter earlier.
Eh?
Moreover, I got the feeling you had read that letter many times over as well.
Ah. That was...
Well, the letter from my father?
No, not that one.
You had the young girl look on you.
Ah...
I haven't been fair, have I?
I've made Yoko-chan tell me everything.
But, because you are both a colleague and a pupil...
...so I'd get a little embarrassed.
That's true.
Really? Fine then.
No, I'll listen.
Yes.
I'll bring some tea.
If you would, please.
The person's name is Saigusa Kotaro-san.
We met the year I became a teacher.
We're both teachers.
He was a rookie teacher I met in a study group...
...and he's a wonderful person with seriously high aspirations.
We studied together and lent books to one another.
We spoke to each other about our worries on work and about our dreams.
And then...
...we promised to get married!
But, he got called up and was sent to the China front.
And then he was injured in the foot and was sent home.
He can walk slowly, but he can't run any longer.
Eh?
I told him we should get married.
But he said...
"Right now is too soon."
So he went back home and returned to his job as a teacher.
Eh? Why was that?
Though he was injured and sent back home...
...his fellow soldiers are still risking their lives in the fighting.
So he says he couldn't be happy being the only one who gets married.
He'll continue at being a teacher for right now.
It's a little difficult to say this...
But he's promised...
...we'll get married once the war has ended.
Eh?
That's rather wonderful, isn't it?
It's a marriage of love, isn't it?
Yeah!
It's embarrassing, though.
So that's why you didn't want to tell me? In that case, I'm sorry!
No. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time now.
Eh?
But Yoko-chan, you never asked me about anything.
Well... Is that right?
You thought I didn't have such a thing, didn't you?
Say, you thought I didn't have such a story to tell, didn't you?
No, no, no.
You definitely thought that.
You thought I was a woman with no one in love with her and you thought it wrong to even ask.
Say, that's right, isn't it? Confess!
No such thing...
Look, it was that.
Right! Natsuko-sensei is not only a colleague, but my teacher as well, so...
I guess I just couldn't ask you about your love life, after all.
Hmm...
Lucky to get away, huh?
No, that's not...
Ah, say Natsuko-sensei.
Huh?
Do you have a photo of that person?
Ah, you do, don't you?
From that expression, you must have one.
Yes.
Let me see it, please.
Yes.
Actually, it's over here.
Eh?
Ah! Whaa!
It's of the two of you. How nice.
Sorry about that.
Ah!
Handsome, isn't he... And Natsuko-sensei's cute, too.
Someday...
When it's over...
This war.
Eh?
Yes.
And then your husband will return too, won't he?
Then the 4 of us can meet.
Yes.
Yeah.
Let's hang in there.
Yes.
Ah... What city is he in?
Hiroshima.
Ehh... That's far away, isn't it?
What's that place like, I wonder?
I went there once.
It's a very beautiful town. A nice place.
Ehh!
Hiroshima, huh?
"At that time, the tragedy that was to occur that year..."
"If only the war had ended just a little sooner."
You're so cute!
Eh? Who's that?
