However hard it was for me... I had you as a friend.
That's why I could work so hard.
Yuki-chan!
This isn't a sad farewell like the last one, is it?

This is Tanaka Yuki-san.
Ah, that's wrong. Let's see, it's now...
I'm Natsukawa Yuki.
Ever since I got married, I can't tell if I'm hot or cold.
What's that?
"Natsu" (summer) and "Yuki" (snow).
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
It's good, you.
Yuki-chan was my childhood friend when I first came to Azumino and is still a close friend.
Ah, Yoko told us about you once.
Ah, you've come! Yeah.
Nice to meet you, I'm her husband, Kazunari.
Ah, hello...
Oh no! No!
He's just the same as you wrote in your letter, Yoko-chan.
Huh? No?
Hey, Yuki-chan.
When you make a face like that, it looks like I wrote something strange to you.
No, she didn't write, she didn't write it!
She didn't write about that similar thing.
- Hey! - Eh?
Ah!
Ah... That reminds me!
"Hello there. Nice to meet you."
"He's the same."
"The same!"
That's right, that's right!
Look, Hinako-chan, go introduce yourself.
Can you do it?
I'm Hinako. Welcome!
Ala... You're Hinako-chan?
You're great. You greeted me properly.
Yes, I'm great!
Whaa! Incredible!
Yuki-chan, you have a boy, don't you?
- Ah, isn't he the same age as Hinako? - Yeah.
- Really? - Yeah.
Ah! She's Kyoko-chan.
She's my student and more like a daughter to me now.
I see. Hello there!
Hello.
Yoko-chan's student, huh?
Yuki-chan was the trigger that started me to becoming a teacher.
Ehh!
That's right. It's all thanks to me.
Ah...
This is a wonderful store.
I've wanted to come here for a long time.
After reading Yoko-chan's letter, I've been imagining it all this time...
Ah, but just like Yoko-chan wrote...
...it really is nice.
Thank you.
I already love this store.
Oh, I see. Yeah.
I love shops that sell things the way you do.
After all, your store entrance says that the store is always open...
You get that "You're welcome here" feeling.
That's why I like it.
Oh! That's right.
- That's true, isn't it? - Yes.
Here you are.
Thank you.
You have a wonderful family, don't you?
Yes. Thank you.
Are you happy, Yoko-chan?
Eh? Yeah.
How about you, Yuki-chan?
Yeah, I'm happy.
I see.
Kobe had it tough, didn't it?
Yeah.
We opened a store there as a married couple to be self-sufficient...
...but we lost it during an air-raid.
Still, the both of us survived.
That's the best way to put it.
Yeah.
That's why I've worked hard since then.
That was regrettable, but I've worked extra hard since.
I see.
Yeah.
That's why I was saying I liked this store.
Yeah.
When I went to Nagoya for my apprenticeship...
...the wages were so low that you virtually couldn't buy much with it.
Enough maybe for one piece of candy.
Yet even so, I would feel like going to the shopping district.
And... I loved the shops there.
I would go to all the various stores...
...that had food and sweets in them.
And... while I couldn't buy anything...
...I was always looking at all sorts of things.
There was a really nice old lady there who'd say...
..."Sure, come and look all you want..."
...and "have you fill of looking and work hard to get what you feel you want."
And, she would give me a little discount from time to time.
Eh!
That's why I felt I should work hard.
It's all thanks to that shop.
So that's why...
...I feel my favorite shop should be one with a variety of things available...
...so I can tell everyone, "If there's something you want..."
"...work hard and you can buy it."
Ehh...
A store with everything, huh?
They say the stores in America are huge.
And... This is the store I've made.
Ah... This is it?
Yeah.
"Natsugawa Grocery Store."
Whaa!
That's wonderful.
And...
This has been a dream of mine.
Yeah.
I want to make a store like this in Azumino.
Eh? Really? Eh?!
Yeah.
I'd leave this Kobe store to someone...
...and come home to Azumino to do this.
Ehh... Then you'll be in Azumino from here on? To live there, Yuki-chan?
Yeah. That's right.
Whaa! I'm so happy.
We'll get to meet each other a lot then, won't we?
Yeah!
Whaa! I'm so happy!
Good luck with it, Yuki-chan!
For now, you can call me "Director."
Good to be working with you.
Yeah, nice to work with you, too!
I'll take this.
Ehh!
Ah, you're really a Director!
"Limited Company: Natsugawa Grocery Store Director: Natsugawa Yuki"
But, I'd like to make a store in Azumino succeed.
I'd like a store like ones in the city...
...and not like ones the old me as a child would go to.
Yeah.
I'll have to work hard for it.
We'll both have to work hard.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Say, say, tell me more.
Where will you set up in Azumino?
Let's see, the train station at Toyoshina.
"Yuki-chan is wonderful, I thought."
"And I was happy."
"That the Yuki-chan who had been separated from me..."
"...was both happy and returning to Azumino."
"I was happy about that."
"And I remembered Yuki-chan's strong words for a long time."
"'I like this store.'"
"'Because this store is always open.'"
"I thought those were great words."
I'm looking forward to this.
I want to come to it, too.
- I'm back. - Good afternoon.
Oh! You've come.
We're sorry for not coming more often.
Ala? Where's Hinako?
Ah, it's just us two today.
- Eh... - What the...
I'm sorry.
Hinako wanted to go out and play with Kyoko-chan.
Ah... I see.
You don't have to sound so disappointed.
No, no, we're not disappointed, right Shigeki?
Eh? Well Dad, you are disappointed.
- Look there. - Eh? Ah!
Huh?
Well, ah, this is...
- Ah! - Ah!
Shigeki, you had to say it.
Sorry.
How is it?
I thought we'd bring it from the store to show you.
Yeah! Delicious!
Ah, Shige-niichan, you're so unreliable.
What's that for?
Father, how is it?
Eh?
Ah, sorry.
Mmm! This is delicious.
Yeah! I think this is great, Kazunari-kun.
- Really? - Yeah!
Ah, thank goodness! Kazu-san thought it up.
I see. It's good.
Thank you very much.
Ah, how is it, Shigeki-san?
Hey!
- Ah, Yoko. - Yes?
Please give this stuffed animal to Hinako.
Ah, no, next time, when I bring Hinako.
No, no, please take it.
Well, but...
It's okay, Yoko.
Dad'll just buy more right away, so it's okay.
He's become a regular customer at the new toyshop.
Is that right?
Shigeki, you had to say it.
I'm sorry!
Thank you very much!
The shopping district in Azumino is changing as well.
Seems a grocery store is coming.
Ah, it seems so.
- About that. - Huh?
That's Yuki-chan's store. Look, my best friend back in grade school.
Ah! Eh? Really?
Yuki, huh? Ehh...
And, how are you doing, Shige-niichan?
Well, I heard that for now you were taking the university exams.
What's this "I heard that for now" bit?
I'm getting closer to it.
Hmm...
Getting closer, huh?
"Always rising after repeated failures" It's fine as long as I'm getting closer.
I'll pass it someday.
Someday, huh?
Persistent, aren't you?
After all...
They say "someday" (itsuka) is "five days," (itsuka) don't they?
That again, Dad!
"Maruyama"
Thank you for waiting. Here you go!
- Welcome! - Welcome!
Now, come over here.
- What will you have? - Sansei-soba. (wild vegetables with soba)
Sansei-soba. Yes!
"Because our store was always open."
We're home!
Welcome back!
Kyoko-oneechan do some origami for me!
Sure. What do you want?
A crane!
"Yes, this store was..."
"Our doors were open at all times."
What's with you, you upstart fool!
What's up with you; you're the same...
Say, say, Yoko-chan! What are you laughing at?
No, I'm not laughing at anything.
What are you saying?!
You were laughing when I came in, weren't you?
No...
That's right.
Really, it's nothing!
What are you saying!
Now, now, geez, she was laughing at our guest! Geez!
Come inside, come inside! Here! Come in!
What'll you have to eat? Geez!
- It's okay, so come in! - I'm sorry.
