"Serial TV Story"
Eh? Maruyama was destroyed?
Completely?
Not everything, but a place where we could live was gone.
Even though it had made it through the war okay...
Well, an unexpected thing had happened, hadn't it?
That's true...
Hikari ga sashi The light is gentle
Kaze ga oyogi The breeze is swimming
Ikete yukeru to When you're alive
Sou omoeta no It really seems so
Anata ha watashi no kiseki You are my miracle
Anata ha watashi no kibou You are my hope
Dokoga de watashi wo kanjitete Somewhere I can feel
Soredake de ii no yo That that alone is enough
I'm very sorry.
For thrusting all of us on you like this.
What are you saying, Kazunari-kun.
That's right. Of course you should have done this.
I'm sorry.
I'm truly sorry for an outsider like myself, as well.
Please don't, geez...
Let's stop such things already. Right?
Ah... thanks.
Oi!
Mom...
Huh?
Ah... Yeah...
I'm sorry.
"The one who had lost the most strength..."
"...was Mom."
Then, we men should go to Matsumoto.
- Yes. - Yes.
Seko-obachan, it there anything you want us to look for?
Ah... Mmm...
Well, I don't know what though. Kazu-chan, I'll leave that to you.
Very well.
Then, let's get going.
Yeah!
We'll be back before long. Right!
We'll be right back.
Okay, let's go!
Please take care of things.
Yeah!
Yoko-chan, please watch your mother.
I will.
Please.
There's that, Yoko.
I think we'll probably be starving.
Make something delicious for all of us for dinner tonight.
I will.
Please leave it to me.
This is good. I'm looking forward to this.
It'll be nice and bustling now.
That's right.
Because it's always just Shigeki and me, I've gotten tired of looking at Shigeki's face.
"Looking at my face..." That's terrible!
So long. We'll be off.
Yes. Please do.
Are you okay?
Wait for me! I'll go, too. Ah!
Ah, Takeo-kun!
- Are you okay, Takeo? - Takeo-kun fell down again.
Sorry.
I'm fine.
- You want to come? - Yes!
You're not hurt?
Hinako, shall we go out and play?
Yeah!
Get going.
If you would please, Kyoko-chan.
- Be careful. - Get going, Hinako.
Yes! I'm off!
- Get going... - We're going.
You have a nice home here.
Thank you very much.
Right Toku-chan? This is a nice house, isn't it?
Eh?
Ah... yeah.
I'm fine.
What are you saying?
Ah... Really?
Yeah...
Ahh...
What is it?
For pete's sake...
Unpleasant, isn't it?
Right?
Are you okay, Yoko?
Yes.
Because I have Mom here with me.
I see.
Ahh...
Maruyama is all gone...
All gone...
Yeah...
Mom...
It's all gone...
Maruyama is all gone...
It'll be okay.
It'll be okay, be okay!
Because we'll be even happier from here on.
We definitely will be.
We'll do that.
We won't allow ourselves to lose to such a thing.
I think that such things...
...can absolutely...
...bring us even greater happiness.
We'll become many times happier!
We'll make a Maruyama...
...that's even more wonderful than before.
Right, Mom?
We can make that!
I've decided we'll get all our sobbing out of the way.
We don't even know if we'll have the chance to complain about this later.
We don't know.
So buck up!
C'mon, Maruyama Tokuko!
Be quiet!
Ouch! Geez!
Don't... Don't just do as you like!
What's this? How boring.
What is?
It's okay if you want to sob some more.
You're so cute when you're weak.
Ah... That was too short.
Ah.. Ow! Ow!
Such an impertinent child, geez!
Ow! Ow! What is this, geez!
Hey, please go back to sobbing. Hey!
Be quiet, you child you!
Ah... You were so cute there, Toko-chaaan!
What's that! Wait, Yoko!
No way!
What is this?
Oneechan! Catch Yoko for me!
What's with that look?!
- Hello there! - Ah, Haru-san!
Wait, Yoko. Mistu-chan, catch Yoko. Yoko, hey!
Eh? Watch out there. Ah!
Yoko!
"I thought this at the time."
"That trouble was also an opportunity."
"Only when you've lost something do you get the chance to draw closer to your dreams."
"That's what I thought."
Toko-chaaan!
Yoko, wait! Wait! Wait, wait!
Stop her already, Oneechan, geez!
Here goes!
- I wanna play tag, too! - You do?
Well Grandma's it. She's scary, she's scary.
I'm it!
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
See Hinako, you'll get caught.
Hinako! Ah... caught you!
