I'm Yoko-sensei's student, Ishii Keiko.
When they want to study, they'll come.
- That's for the best. - Yes!
Good evening.
Hana-chan!?
Yoko-sensei!
You've come a long ways, haven't you?

You really have come, Hana-chan.
How have you been, Hana-chan? Have you been well?
Yes.
I'm making wheels at a bicycle factory right now.
Near the dormitory for Keiko-chan's factory, we happened to meet suddenly.
- Right? - Yeah.
Is that right.
- Say, Hana-chan. - Yes?
What happened with your foot?
Ala, I blundered.
You blundered?
Yeah.
When the American troops came to Azumino?
They have those cars they call jeeps.
Yeah.
And so, everyone gathered around them to go "Whaa."
I hurried over, too.
They were about to leave, so I got in a panic and raced over.
I jumped out in front of one of the cars.
You got hit by one?
Yeah.
But at the time I didn't think it felt all that painful...
...and they were asking so many questions in English I didn't understand...
But, I was happy with all they gave to me.
Afterwards, though, it became painful...
I withstood it all that, though...
It was becoming harder and harder for me to walk...
So then my Ma took me to see the doctors...
...and they told me the bone had been bent.
I see.
Ah, and because of that, I left field work...
...and went to work in the factories.
Hana-chan was commended for her excellent work at the factory.
Ehh... You're great. You've done your best, haven't you?
Right!
Want to see it, Yoko-sensei?
Huh?
"Citation Kimura Hana"
This is great, Hana-chan.
I love my work.
Yeah.
I love studying.
I loved Yoko-sensei's teaching very much.
- I enjoyed it, too. - Yeah.
Thank you... Thank you!
Because to me right now, this is still an important thing.
To me, too.
Ah, yeah.
But, those are textbooks from during the war, aren't they?
But, I keep this book because it's precious.
That's true.
Ah, I know.
They say that as a foundation...
...you should read lots and lots of books.
But it's also important not just to read, but to think about what you've read.
- Yes. - Yes!
I'll loan each of you a copy of some of my books.
Ah... Since you don't have to rush and read them...
...please read and write down what sorts of things you were thinking about.
Yeah.
It isn't necessary to think there's some "right" way of reading.
It's fine if Keiko-chan and Hana-chan just put down what your feelings were.
- Yes! - Yes!
Yeah.
By being people who read lots of books...
...you'll be making lots of friends together.
Friends?
Yes.
Friends are people with a great many various feelings to them, aren't they?
Each and every one of them is different.
Books are the same, too.
They're filled with all the various feelings of people.
So having one is like increasing the number friends you have.
- Yes! - Yes!
Okay! Then will you take today? Here.
Which one should I take?
It's hard to pick, isn't it?
"Such adorable faces."
"It was if they were standing in front of a cake shop trying to choose. That sort of look."
Can I take this one?
I'll take this one.
Both of those are quite good choices.
"Date, Name"
Here. Then, write your name and the date here.
Yes.
"May 5th"
"May 5th, Kimura Hana"
Okay! Well then, let's begin studying.
Since Hana-chan has come today...
...I think we'll start by learning about the world.
"In that way, my classroom of 2 students had begun."
"I taught them the things I couldn't teach them at the National School..."
"...such as about new societies and various other things about the world."
"Of course I didn't teach them things I hadn't studied myself."
"I had the feeling I was studying while teaching them."
Is this a little too difficult?
"Maruyama's still wasn't able to obtain soba..."
"...so we continued serving konnyaku noodles..."
"...but we continued doing very poor business."
Here!
Good morning.
'Morning.
Ah, good morning.
Hinako.
"I couldn't help thinking at the company that I was, as ever..."
"...in a state of being on a bed of nails."
"That's why I thought I should work as accurately as possible."
Maruyama-san! Could you come here a moment?
Ah, yes!
Maruyama-san! It's the salt report!
Yes! Right away!
Ah, I'll be right back.
Ah, I'm very sorry.
Ah... you dropped it, didn't you?
Here.
Maruyama-san!
Eh?
I'm sorry.
"Then one day this happened."
Please do this.
They say they want to eat the very best soba in Matsumoto, no matter what.
And, it's said that Matsumoto's best is Maruyama's.
Right!
That's true, isn't it?
I beg you, Maruyama-san.
Hmm...
That's true.
Ah, I'll supply you with the soba. Okay?
It's easy for you guys to get supplies like that.
It's a lie that you can't accommodate the soba shops.
Right?
Yeah.
Well, you don't have to be sarcastic.
It can't be helped when it's a request from the Army of Occupation.
We're simply following them.
Well, I know that, but...
I beg you.
Please do this.
Okay, Maruyama-san?
"It wasn't unusual to see the Army of Occupation in town..."
"...and they often came to our store."
"But, Kazunari-san disliked them no matter what."
"That would be so, wouldn't it?"
"After all, he had risked his life in fighting them."
Let's do it.
Huh?
Dad.
Let's feed them Shinshu soba and get them to say, "Tastes good."
That's true.
If they say, "tastes good," then we'll win.
- Right, Yoko? - Yes!
Let's definitely win!
Yeah!
This means you'll have to guarantee us coming into possession of some great soba.
If you don't, we'll turn it down.
Ah, we'll also ask for the best for the other ingredients, too.
You're okay with that, right?
Since you're in government office, you can. Even though common people can't.
