Then, yes.
I'll ask to go first.
Is that okay, Ikuko-san?
Ah... Go ahead, go ahead.
Um, I...
I...
I was proposed to.
Eh?

Um, I...
I...
I was proposed to.
Eh?
However, I turned it down.
Eh?
"I cannot be in love right now. I cannot even think about it."
That is all.
Eh...
Don't be at all worried about me. I've already turned it down.
But I thought it best to tell you two about it, just in case.
I also hate secrets like that.
Ehh...
Please don't misunderstand.
I'm not boasting about having turned him down, but the truth is...
...I guess you could say I'm a little happy about it.
Understand?
I see...
That is all.
Eh?
Ah... Who was it from?
Ah, is it necessary I tell you that?
I've turned him down...
You want to know?
Well, if possible. Right?
Eh?
Ah... yeah.
A colleague at work.
That is all.
Eh?
Well, um, what sort of person is he?
Is that necessary?
Well, if possible.
Very well.
Let's see...
That's right.
Eh... Then, I'll tell you.
That person's seat is the one diagonally in front of mine.
"He seemed like a good person."
In height he's not that tall, you could say about here...
He carries the heavier bags for me in my place; isn't that wonderful?
He's not only kind to me though...
"Machiko's story was long, wasn't it?"
Because of him, the atmosphere around the workplace has become somewhat milder.
Yeah! Well, that's how he feels.
That is all.
He seems like a nice person, doesn't he?
Somehow.
I didn't say he was a bad person.
Machiko-san.
Yes?
I don't know either that person nor what's in Machiko-san's heart...
...but even if...
...you don't get married right away...
...as long as you fall in love with someone someday...
...I'll be happy.
Eh?
Well of course it doesn't have to be with that person.
But...
I do think I want you to be in love.
Thank you...
Thank you.
Someday, of course...
When that times comes...
...I'd like to fall in love.
But, I wouldn't like that just yet.
I have to know my young girl's heart.
Right now, I really don't want to fall in love.
That is the truth.
But...
But, I do want the three of us to talk about it.
I want it to be this way.
This is my post-war beginning.
Yeah, I see. Very well.
Ahh... That was a little fun for just now.
Ikuko-san, what about you? What's happened?
Eh?
Whaa!
Eh...
Ah... Machiko, yours was too interesting.
We should have switched order.
What's that about? Why?
Shall we stop for today?
I'd be at a disadvantage in the game.
You're strange.
Wouldn't you rather fight to win?
That's right.
Ah, that's true, but still...
You could say the flavor won't be as fresh...
Is it about going to Tokyo?
Is it about that time?
Are you worried about it?
Is your father saying, "stay here forever"?
Enough!
Hey!
Ah! That's right.
I was caught unprepared.
Unprepared?
What do you mean?
Yesterday my father brought me a marriage proposal.
A marriage proposal?
Yes. I'm not joking; it's true.
If that goes on, I think I'd end up stuck here.
It seems like I'd totally have to give up going.
I see.
And?
And? I declined it of course.
What sort of person is he?
You want to know?
Then I'll tell you.
Let's see...
Is that supposed to be me?
That is all.
Geez!
Truth is, I don't know what sort he is.
It's all just photos and talk.
I'm going to Tokyo.
This isn't unplanned and I want to go.
I'm looking at various places in order to get a job right now.
Yeah. I see.
Besides, I have to wait.
Huh? For what?
I thought I'd wait until I saw this one.
I'll wait and see him or her.
Ehh?!
I'll go after I've seen it.
After all, I won't be able to come back again very soon.
Ikuko...
Oi! Hurry and come out!
Oi, oi!
That's right. Hurry and come see us.
I want to see you!
"Maruyama"
- Ah, good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
Yes, putting in the leeks.
Ah, are we putting in a few too many?
Ah, we mustn't do that!
Yes, don't give me that look.
What's up, Kazunari?
Eh? Nothing's up.
Is Dad going to be late again?
You're lonely, aren't you, being the only man around.
No, not really.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, not at all...
I'm sorry.
Hello there!
Shigeki-san!
Shige-niichan?
You've come!
- Ah, well, hello. - Come in.
Ehh... What's up, Shige-niichan?
Eh? Ah, well... Let's see...
Um, nice to meet you, I'm Kazunari's mother.
Ah, I'm Sudo Shigeki. Nice to meet you.
Yoko's been under your care. Thank you very much.
No, no, thank you, too.
I'm truly sorry for not having come calling on you.
No, I'm the same.
Shige-niichan, you can greet adults properly, can't you?
What are you saying? I'm older than you, you know!
Ah... That's true.
What was that?
Let's see...
With the exception of me, who has yet to be introduced to Shigeki-san, raise your hand.
Ah...
Eh?
I'm sorry.
- You haven't? - Yes, that's right.
Ala? What about you, Machiko?
There was once when Yoko had a stomachache and collapsed...
...and once when I was sent as a messenger there.
You brought us that thing.
Hello.
I'm sorry for not having spoken in a long time.
No...
Ah, you must be Ikuko-san.
Ah... Yes. Nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot of stories about you from Yoko.
Ala, I'm embarrassed.
I wonder what sorts of stories she told?
It wasn't like that.
Really?
Ah, I have heard a lot of stories about you from Yoko, too.
What could it be? Was it, "He only eats," and "Doesn't get up in the mornings," or "He's unreliable."
It was only pointless things like that, wasn't it?
Yes, that's right.
- Eh? - Hey!
Somehow he's more like Yoko's younger brother, isn't he?
That's true. Yoko-san said so, too.
"Sometimes I think he's more like my younger brother," she said.
Huh?!
Did I ever say such a thing?
- You did! - You did!
Hmm... I see.
Kazunari, why have you been smiling, smiling, smiling about all this time about?
No... Just a little happy, I guess.
Eh?
Shigeki-san, you really have come.
What's that about? Why are you going behind his back?
Why is that, geez!
Grandmother, are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's been a long time. I'm Shigeki.
You appear well.
Yes, thank you very much.
You worked hard and returned safely.
Thank you very much.
Um...
From my father I was told to tell you he sends you his regards.
Is that right.
Your father is well?
Yes, he's quite well.
I see. That's what's most important.
My father is looking forward to coming himself and seeing you.
And so, I'm only here to give our greetings.
That seems like your father.
Ah, there's this.
Right now I'm helping out as field labor for a family in our neighborhood named Miyamoto-san.
I've gathered some vegetables for you.
Ah, thank you very much.
My, these are excellent!
Truly!
Tokuko-san...
With these, we could make dishes for a great many customers, couldn't we?
Let's see...
Quite a lot, couldn't we?
- A lot, right! - A lot!
- Ah, that's right Yoko. - Huh?
Whoa!
Your belly's sticking way out!
Don't say that my "belly" is sticking out! Please say "stomach"!
There's that.
What's this? You're almost like a tanuki figurine. (Raccoon-dog figures placed in front of stores as good luck)
How rude!
Ah... It's not good to laugh at her like that.
Not good.
Not good at all.
- Well... - Eh?
Yoko, you shouldn't get too angry. Right!
That's true. He's terrible though, isn't he?
Terrible!
Yoko... I'm sorry.
No.
Anyhow, how am I like a tanuki figurine?
Ahh...
Shigeki-san, please say something.
Like what?
Well, "like what..."?
"To Be Continued"
Yoko, vegetables!
