A publishing company in Tokyo?
Congratulations, Ikuko-san!
Thank you very much.
A relationship... is what you've got?
Yes, well...
Then let's make a toast.
Okay!
Ah!

Ah!
Hey, look, look!
This way, this way.
You there!
Why are you guys hiding?
That's right. We're fine.
Right?
Geez!
We've been out of touch for a long time, Mochizuki-sensei!
I'm sorry. It was a reflex action.
I am truly very sorry.
How many years have passed since we met then at this store?
It brings back memories, doesn't it?
"Shh!"
"Ah!"
"Ah, you there!"
"What are you doing at a place like this?!"
"Hurry and leave!"
"I'm sorry!"
- "I'm sorry!" - "I'm sorry!"
"It's quite wrong to take side trips on your way home from school!"
"You won't get away this easily!"
Ah, Sensei, are you still with Azumino's Girl's High School?
No, I retired last year.
Ehh... You did?
Yes.
Now I'm holding classes in detailed dressmaking from my home.
I see.
Thank you for your hard work.
No.
Still Sudo-san, you were terrible at sewing, weren't you?
I haven't forgotten that.
Well... No, that's not...
Geez!
Yes. I'm sorry.
Geez! What is this?
I see.
Lots of things happened to all of you.
Yes. Lots happened to all of us.
We became adults.
I see.
Still, I'm glad to see that all of you got through the war safely.
Yeah!
Thank you very much.
Sensei, you, as well.
Thank you.
Was it difficult during the war for the Girl's School?
It was difficult.
All of the school grounds and the gymnasium...
...were requisitioned by the army.
I liked Azumino Girl's School during the time you guys were there.
It was reasonable.
The school, the teachers and the students, too.
That's what I thought.
Once the war came, so many things changed completely.
When you were there at the Girl's School, it was good time, wasn't it?
Yes, I truly think so, too.
That's right.
It truly was so.
"I didn't tell you to imitate a monkey!" (Saru-mane)
"It's not a monkey imitation! (Saru-mane) It's a Solomon, Sensei!"
"How would you even wear this?!"
"Ah!"
"I'm sorry."
Those were fun times.
Yes.
Ah! I met Octo... Ah, no... Let's see...
I was saved by Iida-sensei.
(By the way...)
(...I wanna know who became a teacher after this school was nationalized.)
(She wouldn't cause any trouble.)
(I can assure you of that)
"Iida-sensei!"
"'Octopus' is fine."
Ehh... He was a good dako, wasn't he. (octopus)
He did that, did he?
"Good dako"?
Did you call him that, Sensei?
Yes, well... We did.
The women teachers would call him that.
Ala!
You teachers were terrible, too, calling him that.
That's true. Even more terrible than us!
What did you guys call him?
"Octopus."
What does that mean?
That is the English word for "dako."
Then they're the same, aren't they?
No, no, no. The direct way the teachers called him that was far more terrible.
That's true, right?!
Well now, I must be going...
Ah, please wait a moment, Sensei.
We were about to make a toast.
Please join us.
Eh?
That's right. You should, you should.
You must. It's to new beginnings.
Please come make the toast with us, Sensei.
What's this? Are you making a toast?
Dear, bring "that" out.
- Oh! - Eh?
Ala?
I got this from the occupation forces.
This is a very popular drink in America.
Its name is... Cola.
- Cola? - Cola?
Today's special, so it's on the house!
Ahh! Thank you very much.
Itadakimasu!
- Itadakimasu! - Itadakimasu!
Well then, Yoko-san!
Please make the toast!
Please do.
Well then, though it's forward of me.
I'll take the lead in singing the toast, so please be my chorus.
- Yes! - Yes!
Ladies!
- Ladies! - Ladies!
Ah, gentlemen, too!
- Ah, gentlemen, too! - Ah, gentlemen, too!
A good life!
- A good life! - A good life!
Kanpai!
- Kanpai! - Kanpai!
Huh? How was it, how was it? Good, wasn't it?
Just what is this?
Well, "what is this..." This is very precious.
Precious or whatever, can anyone drink this?
Sensei!
Cola! Or something like that... (Kayo makes it sound like "Hora!" or "Hey!")
I see. You're going, huh?
Yeah. I'm going.
I see.
Yeah.
Good luck to you.
Ah, to Shigeki...
...-san, too.
Yeah.
Yes.
I have a goal, too, of becoming a doctor.
I think it might be absurd of me, though, and I don't know how many years it'll take.
How many years should it take?
Not just years... decades maybe?
Well, that's a little long...
How many decades?
That's how resolute I have to be, isn't it?
You did take the long ways around, didn't you?
I guess.
Still, you won't have a woman's presence around anymore, will you Shigeki-san?
How will that go, when you need one to say you're aiming to become a doctor to?
Sorry about that.
Well, there's this.
Someday...
If you're still alone by the time you're middle-aged or elderly...
...then I'll come out and take care of you.
Huh?
That's great, isn't it? Having such a good woman say that to you. Right!
You must be happy!
Give me a break. It's the reverse! The reverse!
What's that? The reverse?
For a tomboy like you, if no one's taken you when you're an old hag, I'll take you in.
What's that?
Please pass before you become an old man.
Hey you!
That might be possible.
Thank you.
Thank you, too.
Umm.
Huh?
"With this adorable farewell, Ikuko set out on her journey to Tokyo."
What did you want to talk about?
Sorry for the bother!
Yes, we've arrived, Hinako.
What's with the "sorry for the bother," Yoko?
I'm sorry.
- Dad, it's been awhile. - Yeah.
- You've been healthy? - Yes!
- Hinako, here's your Grandpa. - Hmm, Hinako!
Hinako's doing well, too?
Yes, thankfully.
I haven't seen such bright eyes in quite a long time.
Ah, is that right?
- That's great, isn't it, Hinako? - They're bright. So bright.
Adorable, isn't she?
Ah, what's up, Shige-niichan?
What did you want to say?
Ah.
Sorry, when you're so busy.
No. This is fine, though.
Dad.
Yoko.
Yeah.
Um...
I think you might be surprised or amazed at this...
What is it?
Is it the you're going to be a doctor thing?
Eh?!
Shige-niichan, you want to be a doctor? Now?
Yeah.
Eh, ala?
Dad, you realized that?
Yeah, from some time back.
Eh... What's this about?
"What's this about"?
Ala?
Ehh?
Why is it always like this...
Eh... Really?
Yeah, it seems so.
Eh?
What a pain, geez.
Hmm. Sorry.
I should have pretended I hadn't noticed, huh?
Well, it just happened again.
It's okay, isn't it? I was surprised, after all.
Eh? Oh, you were surprised, Yoko?
Sure I was surprised.
I see.
That's true. That's good then.
I was surprised... and happy.
Really?
Yeah.
Shige-niichan, don't worry. I'm sure you'll become one.
I see.
That's right, huh?
Probably.
Probably?
Shigeki.
Yes?
Can you become one while I'm still alive?
Eh?
Dad!
I will...
- Probably. - Huh?
Probably?
So please... have a long life.
All right.
Hinako, please be my ally, okay?
Oh? She smiled just now.
Eh?
"Here was another new life starting."
- She smiled just now. - You were just surprised, right?
It's just wishful thinking.
