"Serial TV Story"
I'm sorry.
Hikari ga sashi The light is gentle
Kaze ga oyogi The breeze is swimming
Ikete yukeru to When you're alive
Sou omoeta no It really seems so
Anata ha watashi no kiseki You are my miracle
Anata ha watashi no kibou You are my hope
Dokoga de watashi wo kanjitete Somewhere I can feel
Soredake de ii no yo That alone is enough
Do you intend to give what you have to this child?
Kazu-san, I beg you, please get your rest.
But...
I'll ask someone somehow.
I'm sorry.
Please.
Somehow...
Somehow, please do this for me.
Please!
I'll do this.
Just for today...
Yoko-chan.
Yes?
Thank you.
Eh?
Thank you for remembering us.
Thank you.
Kayo-san...
Thank you, Yoko-chan.
Sir...
Thank you very much.
You don't have to say that so many times.
He's right.
Look, you don't have much time, right? Right!
Yes. Excuse me.
There, there, there, there.
You've come, Hinako-chan.
To your Azumino Grandma.
Yoko-chan, when's your lunch break?
At 12:10.
Then I'll bring her to you about that time...
...let you breast feed her and then bring her back again...
...and then you'll come back for her when school's over, right?
Yes. I'm truly sorry about this.
About lunchtime...
Oh, we're not particularly busy around that time anyway...
...so it's okay and don't worry about it.
Besides, she'll be a big help in our sales.
That's why it's okay.
Look, hurry and get going, Yoko-sensei!
Thank you very much.
Please take care of her.
Then, I'll be going, Hinako.
I'm off!
- Get going! - Get going!
"Sweets"
There, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Ho! There, there!
Good morning.
'Morning!
Good morning.
What's the matter, Yoko-chan?
Something happen?
Eh?
You have tear tracks on your face.
Ah...
Well...
Huh?
No... It's okay.
Really?
Yes.
"I guess it really is a serious thing to work..."
"...while trying to raise a child, I thought."
"I was causing so much trouble for everyone."
"I was becoming discouraged."
Stand!
Bow...
Good morning!
Sit.
Now, let's get started today!
Yes, please open your textbooks and turn to page 32.
We're taking charge of her for today.
Her name is Hinako.
It's written as "child of a sunny place."
It's a good name, isn't it?
Thank you.
What are you skipping work for?
Be quiet.
She smells, doesn't she?
Yeah.
I should check, shouldn't I?
Yeah.
There, yes.
Wait... Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
There... There, there...
Ah, you're a good girl.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
There...
Ah, she did, she did...
She did.
Ah, the diapers, the diapers Yoko-chan gave me!
She does smell, doesn't she?
She's so cute, isn't she?
Ah, wait, wait a minute.
Just wait a minute.
There! Dear, the powder.
Yes, yes, yes.
There, there, there.
You'll feel much better now.
There, there.
There, go, go!
Okay! Okay!
Okay!
Good afternoon.
Kayo-san!
Ah, thank you so much.
She's heavy, isn't she?
She's not heavy at all.
Since she was little, she's gained almost 1500 kg.
Really?
It's your Mom!
Hino-chan, this is great, isn't it?
She's asleep. Hinako, are you sleeping?
Ah, there, there!
She's a good eater, isn't she?
Right!
She's alive, isn't she?
Yeah.
Eat lots...
...and hurry and grow up, Hinako-chan!
But, she'll get heavier and heavier and that's a problem.
That's true.
But, she has to get bigger.
Ah but, she mustn't get this big!
Eh? Geez!
There, thanks for the meal.
Yoko-chan!
Ala?
You're the sweet shop owner, aren't you?
Murakami-san, right?
Yes.
Ala, you're a teacher here, too?
Yes.
Eh, Natsuko-sensei, do you go to Murakami's store, too?
Yes, from time to time.
I love their Nikki candy. (a type of hard candy)
Thank you very much.
Ah, this is?
Ah, let's see...
She's her Azumino... Grandmother.
She's taking charge of Hinako for today.
Ehh...
I'm your Grandmother.
Grandma. I'm your Grandma.
There, all set.
Okay!
So long, we'll head back.
Thank you so very much, Kayo-san.
So long!
Then, if you would please.
There, there!
Somehow...
Eh?
Somehow I understand, Yoko-chan.
You're spoiled!
You're a spoiled person who's been spoiled.
That's not a bad thing.
Since you're a little overly serious and obstinate at times.
Understand, Yoko-chan?
Yes, Natsuko-sensei.
Kazunari.
Please stop looking like that.
You're going to be a parent all your life.
It's at most for just today...
...so you don't have to look so pathetic, Kazunari.
You're far too serious.
Look! It's really not a man's habit to mope so.
The thing about you is...
I know.
I get it already.
You can't greet Yoko with that expression.
Understand?
You understand, right?
Very well.
Well then, give me a smile.
No way.
What are you saying?
It's best not to be embarrassed. Look!
Enough already!
Give me a break.
I understand.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
As long as you understand.
I'll leave the porridge here.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Say, Dear.
Huh?
I'm sorry.
For not being able to have a child.
Huh?
Why are you saying that now?
Are you a fool?
Still...
...we could have had a grandchild by now.
That's okay.
We're a married couple who get along well together, after all.
Yeah.
Yoko-chan's husband...
Huh?
Let's hope he catches more colds from time to time.
That's true.
Ah, thank you again.
Good work!
Welcome back.
I'm back.
I really do thank you.
It was a really big help.
Yeah.
- Right? - Yeah!
Well then, I'll be going.
Thank you very much.
Yeah...
Kayo-san...
Sir...
Huh?
Um...
Would it be okay if I asked you for this again?
Yeah, of course you can.
Thank you!
Yoko-chan, thank you!
I'm the one who should be saying thanks!
Right, Hinako?
We'll come again, right?
You were happy here, right?
Yes, yes.
"That was how I started parenting."
"I was helped by so many people."
Ah...
Welcome home, Yoko.
I'm home, Kazu-san.
