I'm truly very sorry.
That's right. Give us a break. This is work, after all.
Yes. I'm very sorry.
Maruyama-san.
Yes.
When I said, "Stop being so irresponsible," that wasn't directed at you.
Eh?
Then who was it to?
To you.
Eh?
What on earth is this?
All you men do is complain, complain and complain.
It's shameful.
Are you even a man?
Since when have Japanese men become this shameful?
Eh?
Ah, well... Eh?!
What is it? Say it clearly, without complaining.
Ah... No, um...
You will be silent for now!
Yes.
Well, still, this has been a hindrance in our jobs and I guess that brings out errors...
I aggregated all the sales vouchers the three of us have created...
...since Maruyama-san and her baby came.
Huh?
There wasn't a single error in any of the sales vouchers I made.
There also wasn't a single calculation error in any that Maruyama-san did, either.
Takeuchi-san!
The number of calculation errors in your sales vouchers totaled 45!
I corrected all of them myself.
Eh?
Well, the reason for those errors was...
I can say that since coming here...
...the average monthly total that Takeuchi-san makes in errors has been 50.
Eh?
In other words, you were like this from the start.
You were full of errors.
Well... Ala?
Ah... Um...
Please be silent a little longer.
Yes.
I will be submitting these total results for the last year provisionally to the Executive Director.
It appears his conclusion will be that...
...I and Maruyama-san are the ones with the greatest efficiency.
How would you like that?
Ah...
This isn't funny.
No, no, no, no...
There's that.
Hinako-chan's cute, isn't she? Right?
Thank you...
Well then, I will hold back on my submission for the time being.
Well, ah... Yes.
Thank you very much.
This isn't a laughing matter!
Yes, I'm sorry.
Ah, that's right.
Did you know there's a Oyaki (sweet potato) store now in the shopping district?
I'll go out and buy some. Right? To snack on, right?
No, that's not...
We're grateful.
Ah... yes. I'll get going.
Get going.
Um...
Thank you very much.
Don't misunderstand.
I was only saying you're doing a proper job.
Besides, I thought this was a good trigger to say that to him.
Ah...
I was told your wedding was held on the day before he was sent to the front.
Ah... Yes.
Mine was the same.
Eh?
However...
...my husband didn't come back.
I've bought some!
Ah...
I didn't tell you that to make you cry.
Let's eat, shall we? Okay? Okay?
I'm sorry... you don't like them, huh?
No, I love them.
Um, I'll bring in some tea.
I'll come with you.
Yes, thank you very much.
"I thought there were only wonderful women around me."
Welcome.
I have returned.
- Ah, welcome home. - We're back.
Oh, welcome back.
Welcome back, you've worked hard.
I'm home. Kazu-san, it's busy today, isn't it?
Yeah.
- Welcome home, Hinako. - We're back.
- Oh, Yoko. - Yes?
We got a little more soba in.
Eh?!
So we'll raise the ratio tomorrow to 60 percent.
Really? I'm so happy!
"Each decrease in the ratio of konnyaku..."
"...increased the proportion of happiness in me."
Still putting konnyaku in the soba?
That hasn't changed.
Then, is this konnyaku-style soba?
- Huh? - What's that?
No good, huh?
Ah, that's right.
I have gifts today.
What is it, what is it?
I got them from a store near where I work.
Ehh...
They're just tiny. Here.
Here!
Thank you.
Here Dad, you too.
Me, too.
- Delicious! - Delicious!
This is great.
Excuse me!
Welcom... Welcome.
Welcome!
"That was a performance of 'Good Life' by Iida Shotaro and the Octopus."
"We'll continue with our recordings of street performances next time."
Ah, Keiko-chan, do a proper check right here.
Because everything afterwards is messed up because of a mistake here.
Yes.
You two have opposite personalities, don't you?
The impatient Keiko-chan and the carefree Hana-chan.
Okay, do your best.
- Done! - Done!
Ah, done at the same time?
Okay, I'll take them?
Yes.
Yeah, you both gave correct answers.
- Yoko-sensei. - Huh?
We're giving this to you!
Eh?
Whaa!
So pretty!
What's this about?
It was our payday the other day.
We both chipped in to buy it.
You're giving these to me?
It's because you aren't charging us a monthly tuition fee.
- Right? - Yeah.
So we're doing this in place of the tuition.
Thank you.
I'll treasure them.
Treasure them...
Ah...
I'm so happy.
Thank you.
Say Keiko-chan...
...I guess you'd like to have a different job, right?
An accounting job?
Yes.
I see.
Hana-chan, how about you?
I...
I'm not sure.
But, I'd like to keep coming here.
Can't I do that?
It's not that you can't.
Thank goodness...
But, I do enjoy studying.
Yeah.
Really? That's great.
Ah, truth is, I'd like to go to a dressmaking school.
Ah, I was thinking that, too. That'd be nice.
They say they're next to impossible to get into.
Really?
A dressmaking school?
Sensei, do you know of them?
They're very popular with girls.
- Right? - Yeah!
Everyone is saying, "I wanna go to one."
Ehh... is that right.
Dressmaking, huh...
That's not something I can teach you.
Yeah, I know.
- I know that, too. - Yeah!
That's right.
Huh?!
Geez!
Dressmaking, huh?
Ah!
Ah...
"And so, several days later."
Well then...
- Please take care of us! - Please take care of us!
Yes, I'll take good care of you.
Today we'll see how you fare at backstitching.
Do each of you have your needle and thread at hand?
- Yes! - Yes!
Well then, let's begin.
- Yes! - Yes!
Well, let's make some pretty clothes, okay?
- Yes! - Yes!
Sudo-san.
Ah...
I'm Maruyama now.
Ah, that's right. Maruyama-san.
Ah, yes!
You have gotten a little better, haven't you?
Eh?!
Was she that terrible back then?
Yes. Quite terrible...
But, I'm happy.
Having a student tell me, "teach me once more."
So happy!
Ready?
Starting today I'll show you how to press the soba, little by little.
Yes.
You married into this family during the war...
...so you didn't learn much about true soba making.
But it's just around the corner.
It won't be long before Maruyama returns to being a true soba shop.
Yes.
Be sure and remember what I teach you now.
Ready?
Yes.
Please take care of me.
Yes!
Okay!
Well then, we'll first stir the flour around like this.
- Watch this carefully. - Yes!
First off, you do this quickly!
Evenly!
Evenly... And release it sometimes.
