- It's delicious. - It is delicious, isn't it?
Say...
Is your Father okay about this?
He couldn't be okay about it.
I see.
Ah...
Huh?
I really think he'll be troubling you, though.
Yeah. What about?
Probably about now...
I'm sorry.
No.
Yoko-san's father and him are on good terms?
Yes, for some reason.
I truly am sorry.
Ehh... Why are you apologizing?
I don't think my father is as annoyed by him as he would make us believe.
Is that so? I hope it is.
Those two are somewhat strange, aren't they?
What's happened?
After all, she left my house and then went to work for one of my competitor's companies.
To top all that, without even mentioning a wedding, she said...
"We'll be living in a very tiny apartment."
Say, how is that? Hey.
Well, if you ask me...
Eh?
That was Machiko-san's wish, wasn't it?
No, no.
Boring, boring, boring!
No, no, I told her, "You should live in our home."
And, "your husband should work at my company"!
And so then what do you think that Machiko said to me?
Huh?
Well... I dunno.
"I..."
"...love you, Father."
I'm thankful to him.
But I told him I wanted to live as far away as possible from there.
And because I've loved him all this time...
...that I didn't want to use even 1 yen of his money.
Ehh...
And your father?
He had this sad look on his face...
And then he was silent.
Because after she said that, there was nothing I could say, was there?
Right?
That Machiko's a sly one.
That's right.
Machiko-san is a cut above.
Machiko-san is an intelligent lady.
That's right.
Still...
I wanted to see her...
I wanted to see her as a bride.
That was my dream!
Well, but well...
...this was inevitable.
That my daughter would hate the business I'm in.
I...
...hated the idea of being a landlord too, the way we have for generations.
Is that right?
It is.
Around here, being the son of a great landowner is like being a feudal lord.
You're always being treated like you're special.
That's why...
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a true friend.
They'd get envious of me and we'd get into some serious fights.
Everyone ended up fighting with me.
It was boring.
Really boring.
I see.
That's why...
I, too, opposed MY father...
...ran away from home and went to Tokyo.
But, still...
I was quickly brought back. I just couldn't say no to him.
I was separated from the woman I was living with, as well.
Okay!
In that case, I at least wanted to make my own power...
...so I started various businesses.
Well, still...
...they were with my father's money.
Still, in the end...
...I didn't walk along the same path my father took.
Still...
...nothing can be done.
Well, that's the way she was born, after all.
That's right, isn't it?
I wonder if Machiko's way of life...
isn't one of those "post-war democratic doctrine" ways?
That may very well be true.
I see...
To me...
I totally don't understand those "democratic doctrine" fellows!
Well, "I don't understand them" could cause problems.
You are the Mayor, after all.
Well, I just want to enrich Azumino.
It was because you expected that, that you gave me your vote, didn't you?
Eh?
Ah...
- Eh? - Eh?
You didn't vote for me?!
I like you and this place!
I'm very thankful to you for that.
Okay! Today we drink.
- Eh? - We drink! Right!
Let's get totally wasted, right!
Ehh... Sake... where's your sake...
Why isn't Shigeki around at a time like this?
Ehh...
You two are constantly quarreling?
Yes. We quarrel each time we meet, right?
Yes. She's a scary person.
Ala, I am?
Our family has equal rights for men and women.
That's right.
What's the matter, Yoko-san?
Well, Machiko-san...
Ah, no, Machiko, I just can't think of you quarreling.
Surprising, isn't it?
That's true.
Ah, but then, Machiko was never a docile person.
She might be at her scariest during a quarrel.
Ala!
That's true.
Yoko-san, how about you? Do you quarrel with Kazunari-san?
Eh? Us?
Well...
...not much.
Well, not really at all.
I've heard from Machiko.
Your husband really did well in the war.
You were great, too, Yoko-san.
No, that's not...
I was summoned up as well.
Is that right.
But I was taken to the western coast of New Guinea.
Thankfully it was quiet, with no major battles.
However, later on...
...I expected to be sent to the front lines.
I see.
Thank you for your hard work.
Ah... No.
I didn't have any hardships at all...
No...
He seems to have had some very delicious things to eat.
Ah! Don't say that.
We mostly had taro potatoes and sweet potatoes from the local farms.
Ehh... Is that so?
That's why he won't eat potatoes anymore.
I just can't take them. Just can't.
I can't even look at them anymore.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I forgot and put some potatoes in today.
Eh?!
I'm kidding.
Geez!
- Machiko. - Huh?
It's great that you're so happy.
Thank you.
Yoko-san, you are too.
Yeah.
What is your dream, Yoko-san?
Dream?!
Mine?
Eh...
I wonder what it is?
Our dream...
...is to start up a company between the two of us.
Ehh...
That's wonderful!
It's just an ordinary dream.
As you can see though, we have nothing right now.
She's pretty stingy, isn't she?
I thought after we got married...
...she'd get a little better but all she says is...
"Don't need this, don't need it."
Because we didn't need them.
Ah, I'll bring in the tea.
Ah, thank you.
"I felt a little sad."
"Since Machiko felt like someone of this new age..."
"...then what was I, I wondered."
"Taking a long overdue day off from the store..."
"...the 5 of us walked to Azumino for the first time as a family."
Yummy isn't it, Hinako?
Yummy.
Those are really good, aren't they?
- Good afternoon! - Good afternoon!
Take your time there.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
This is really nice, isn't it?
That's true.
Ah...
Umm...
There's something I wanted to ask you.
What is it?
What is...
...everyone's dream?
Eh?
Oh?
Our dream?
Yes.
