I'm sorry.
No.
Anyhow, how am I like a tanuki figurine?
Ahh...

Shigeki-san, please say something.
Like what?
Well, "like what..."
Yoko, the vegetables!
Yes.
I'm home.
Dad...
What is it? Something happen? Huh?
Ala, welcome back!
Welcome home!
You're back early, aren't you?
Oh! Welcome, welcome. You've come.
- Please excuse us. - Please excuse us.
Ah, you're just in time.
Now, now, now. I managed to get a little bit.
Just enough for the people here.
Is that soba?!
Yeah!
Hey, I got some!
This is great!
Whaa... I'm so happy!
I've really wanted to eat the Maruyama soba. Dad told me a lot about it.
And who is this?
Eh? Ah, ah...
I'm Yoko's brother, Shigeki.
Ah, I see, I see! Sorry 'bout that, sorry 'bout that.
Well then, itadakimasu!
- Itadakimasu! - Itadakimasu!
Ah, it has a nice fragrance.
It's delicious!
Just as I expected!
Ah! Let me tell you.
I spent so many days walking around just to get this.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for the meal.
It is truly delicious.
Ah, thank you very much.
- This is great, Dear. - Ah, thank goodness.
It's great we came today, isn't it?
Truly. We were in luck.
Delicious! Really delicious!
Ho! Do you like soba?
Yes, I love it. I think soba's great.
I see! Yeah, yeah!
I also love udon, though.
- Ah, that's...! - Huh?
I see...
Eh? No... Ah...
Ala?
Ah... that hit the spot!
Take care.
Thank you very much. Thank you for the meal.
If you would please, Shige-niichan.
Yo!
Don't worry. We'll make sure he gets home fine. Shigeki-kun!
Huh?
Ah, Shigeki-san, that is.
You're the older brother. You're older than us. I'm sorry.
Somehow it's like Ikuko-san has found a new toy for herself.
Right!
Huh?
Give my regards to your father.
I will.
So long, Yoko...
Goodbye.
Be healthy!
Take care!
Thanks.
You really do look like a tanuki figurine.
Eh?!
So long!
"And then everyone got together and we made a lot of diapers."
Grandmother, you're pretty good at this.
Weren't you poor at sewing?
I used to do this as well.
During your mother's time.
Eh?!
Yoko.
Why do you look as though this alone will be fine?
All of this won't be enough.
Eh? It won't?
That's right. This won't be nearly enough.
Once it's born, the battle begins.
That's true.
That's right, isn't it?
Look! You 3 biddies there.
With enough free time to absorb yourselves in recalling your youths.
"3 biddies"?
She means, "3 old hags."
Huh?
She's also including you, you know.
I know.
3 biddies...
Three... biddies.
Ah, the three of us are biddies?!
Yes.
The 3 biddies?
"Somehow the time with just us women was gentle and very enjoyable."
"It was the calm before the storm."
"And then it was November, the month in which I was due to deliver."
"I would be separated from the children for a little while."
(This is the new Kana Orthography, which modernized how Japanese was written to how it was being pronounced)
Good morning.
Ah...
- Ah, good morning. - Good morning.
Starting tomorrow, you'll be taking time off, right Maruyama-sensei?
Yes. I'm very sorry.
No.
And, there's this, isn't there?
Once your child is born, you'll be returning right away?
Yes.
Is that so...
It will be quite difficult, won't it?
There's no need to force yourself.
Ah, I thought I should say that to Maruyama-sensei.
Ah, I'm sorry you were troubled.
I will be fine. Thank you very much.
Good work.
Do your best.
I will. Thank you very much.
Do YOUR best.
Starting tomorrow, Yoko-sensei won't be here.
I'm sorry.
Will you be okay, Natsuko-sensei, without me around?
Huh?
I won't. I'll be lonely.
Natsuko-sensei...
Don't force yourself, but I'll be waiting.
Until Yoko-sensei's return.
Yes.
That didn't hurt.
I didn't want to frighten the child inside you.
Look! Go see the children.
Yes!
"New Kana Orthography"
With this, the Japanese language will be much clearer to you.
You'll use it and practice it, won't you?
Yes!
What is the best way to write out the kana orthography for this?
Who knows?
- Me! - Me!
Well then, Ayako-chan.
Yes!
Here, if you would please.
And, three!
Fuke yuku aki no yoru tabi no sora no Late on autumn nights along my empty journey
Wabishike omoi ni hitori nayamu I suffer from feelings of loneliness
Koishi ya furusato natsukashi chichihaha For my yearned for hometown and dear parents
Yumeji ni tadoru ha sato no ieji In my dreams, I follow the road to home
Mado utsu arashi ni yume mo yabure When storms strike the window, I dream again
Harukakeki kanata ni kokoro mayou Of that far off place and my heart wavers
Koishya furusato natsukashi chichihaha For my yearned for hometown and dear parents
Omoi ni ukabu ha mori no kozue These feelings rise above the forest treetops
Yes! You did that song very well.
Starting tomorrow...
I will be taking some time off.
Be sure and listen closely to what the substitute teacher tells you.
Understand?
Yes...
Ala? Such tiny voices.
Do you understand?!
Yes!
Yes.
Thank you.
All of you study your hardest!
Yes!
Yeah, be cheerful.
And then...
Don't you dare forget me!
- Sensei! - Yoko-sensei!
Sensei, will you be okay? You'll be okay, right Sensei?
You'll come back, right?
Yeah.
Don't worry.
My sister told me, "Yoko's immortal."
Eh? How rude of her. Geez!
Sensei, can I talk to the baby?
Yeah, sure.
- Me, too! - Me, too!
I want to talk to it!
Yeah, very well! Well then, line up. Yes.
Yes!
Yes, yes. Take your time, take your time.
Thank you.
Ah! Natsuko-sensei!
I want to talk to it, too.
Geez!
Ala? Kumiko-chan, you're lining up again?
Because I forgot something I wanted to say.
Eh?
- Me, too! - Me, too!
Me, too, me, too!
Then...
A second round, huh?
Yes!
Nice, isn't she?
What did you tell it?
It's a secret!
Eh?!
"I thought the child inside me was blessed."
"They were saying so much."
"This was important."
"I thought I had to do my best for the children as well."
Thank you.
