Maruyama Yoko (Narrator) Wakao Ayako
"In Showa 25 (1950), the state of business in Japan grew steadily better."
"We could sense that, even in Matsumoto."
"I thought everyone was desperately trying to ride along with that flow."
"That there was a thing for you."
"And if you worked hard, you could obtain it."
"That was a very happy thing, wasn't it?"
"Maruyama's was also filled with that happiness."
- Thanks for the food! - Yes!
Yes. One Tanuki-soba is 18 yen. (soba with tempura batter)
- Here. - Exact change.
- Thanks for the food. - Thank you very much.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Ah, hello and welcome!
Welcome!
Ah, Hinako-chan, you work hard as a Kanbanmusume. (the pretty girl who attracts customers)
- I'll have my usual. - Yes!
Yes, there you go.
One Sansai-soba, please! (soba with wild vegetables)
Sure.
Ah, thanks for your hard work.
Ah, Yoko's time as our Kanbanmusume was brief, wasn't it?
That's true. It was short.
True.
Yeah, delicious!
Hinako, Hinako, look!
"Compared to now, we may not have been rich..."
"...but seeing our child with her belly full of food..."
"...made us feel very happy."
That face of yours!
Why am I the only one?
Don't talk with your mouth full.
Look, right!
Hinako, are you okay? Eat slowly, okay?
Slowly, slowly.
Ala? Where did it go?
Ala? Found it, found it.
Then Hinako, swap with me.
That's great, huh?
Ala, ala, you've worked hard.
- You've worked hard. - Thanks for your hard work.
Ah... This one's mine.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.
Ah, I really have worked hard.
It's a good thing having a prosperous business.
Thank you very much.
You didn't even have time to eat?
You should take some.
I'll get it. Please wait a moment.
Well, you really are nice.
Ah...
Hina-chan, you're eating something delicious. Can I have some?
No!
Eh... Really?
- Here you are. - Ah... thanks.
Whaa... Thank you very much.
Fake tears are best.
Yes. Then, I'll eat.
Geez!
Itadakimasu!
Yes, go ahead.
Good evening!
- Ala, good evening! - Good evening!
I'll share this with you.
Ehh... Thank you very much.
Huh? What is that?
It's some western-style sweets I got it from a customer.
Ehh!
- Here. - Ahh...
Ala, beautiful, isn't it?
Hey you, business must be good if you're acting like this.
Thankfully, I am.
All of you are the same, right?
Thank you for the sweets.
This is great, isn't it, Hinako?
That is great, isn't it?
Hinako, I'm sorry.
Hinako can't have any of those.
They have alcohol in them.
Ah...!
Ah... ala...
I'm sorry, Hinako. Sorry.
Hey, don't give us that look.
I'll make you some oyaki tomorrow. (sweet potatoes)
Hey, don't look like that, don't look like that.
Can't be helped, can it?
Those eyes...
Once you've grown up some.
"So whenever the townspeople were lost in the forest..."
"...they could find where they were by looking for the red roof."
I'll make some tea.
Yeah.
An...
Shall we eat those?
Let's.
I see.
- Delicious, aren't they? - Yeah!
They're delicious.
But, Hinako can't have any.
That's true.
That we can eat such things now, huh?
That's true.
- They're delicious. - Yeah!
Yoko...
Ah, I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep.
Something happen?
Yes.
It's about Kyoko-chan.
Yeah.
I haven't gotten any kind of reply from her.
I see...
Yes... It was just a brief 6 months.
"Kyoko-chan, how are you doing?"
I wonder what's happened?
"Give me back my mother! Give me back my father!"
"I hate this! I absolutely hate this!"
"Mom!"
"I'm going back to Tokyo."
"Eh?"
"I..."
"...wanted to be closer to Yoko-sensei."
I hope she's doing well.
She was a child who had to go through so much, after all.
Yeah...
As long as she's happy, even if she's forgotten me, that's fine, isn't it?
Yeah. I hope that's so.
Yes.
The story has come around to Kyoko-san at last, hasn't it?
Yes.
I troubled you at that time.
No, don't mention it.
Eh? What's this about?
This person, you see...
Yes?
"Maruyama"
Welcome!
Ah... Um...
Ah, I'm sorry. Welcome.
Ah, Kyoko-chan?!
Yoko-sensei.
Eh? What's going on?
We haven't kept in touch.
Ah... yeah.
Is she Yoko-sensei's?
Yeah, that's right.
Ah, this is first time you've met, isn't it?
This is Hinako.
Ehh!
Hello there, Hinako-chan.
Hello!
This is Kyoko-oneechan.
Look Hinako. The oneechan who drew that picture of your father and I.
Nice to meet you!
You're so cute.
Do you help out around the store?
- Yeah. - I see.
You're bright, aren't you?
Kyoko-chan.
Yes?
Are you alone?
Yes.
Ala! Kyoko-chan?
Oh, Kyoko-chan!
My, you're all grown up.
- I haven't kept in touch. - Yes.
Oh! Kyoko-chan.
I haven't kept in touch.
- You were just talking about her, right Yoko? - Yes.
Eh?
I've been worried about you.
I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
Kyoko-chan, aren't you hungry?
Ah...
Kyoko-chan, come have some of our soba.
Yes.
- We didn't have soba for her last time. - That's right.
Okay!
Then, let's get you some delicious soba.
I'm so happy!
Yeah, hang on. Yeah!
Now, look! Sit down, sit down.
- Now, over here, over here. - Thank you.
Put your bag here.
Thank you so much. Even though I'm bothering you so suddenly.
Don't worry about such things.
You can take your time here.
Right, Hinako?
Yeah!
Thank you very much.
"For a girl on her own to come all the way to Matsumoto from Tokyo..."
"...I never would have thought it possible at that time."
"I thought there must be some circumstances for her to do that."
"Wait, Onee-chan!"
Kyoko-chan, how was it? Was the soba delicious?
Yes, very much so.
Thank you for the meal.
That's great.
Ah... Um, Yoko-sensei.
Huh?
Hinako-chan...
Would it be okay for me to play with her?
Ah... yes. I'd be happy about that.
That's great!
Hinako-chan, want to play with onee-chan here?
Yeah.
Then, shall we go?
Yeah!
Ah... Say, Kyoko-chan.
Yes?
Are you okay for time?
Ah... yes.
Um...
Huh?
Today...
Could you put me up for today?
Yeah, of course.
Are you okay about Tokyo...
Yes. I'll return tomorrow.
I see.
