"After Maruyama burned down..."
"...we came under the care of the Sudo family."
"We would have to consider what to do from here on..."
"...but that was something we couldn't think straight about so quickly, is it?"
Thank goodness we were able to save this much.
That's true.
Then, please take this.
Yes!
Grandma, here!
Ah, thanks.
Ah, this is...
Huh? What is it?
It's broken.
Where?
Ah...
Yeah. That's okay though.
Kazu-san can fix it.
Dad's great!
That's right, he's great.
Thank you very much.
Not at all.
It was from a good, heavy tree, wasn't it?
What are you going to do with this?
Well...
I'll have to rebuild the legs...
...but with a little shaving, this counter top should be okay.
That's good.
What is this, Maruyama-san?
That's what's called a "Suinou." (filter)
It's used when we scoop the soba out of the pots.
Ah.
And... how do you...?
Like this... We hold it and stir it around like this...
- I see, I see. - Like this.
Thank you very much.
Ah... not at all.
Setsuko-san.
Huh?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Shall I help you out?
You shouldn't mess around with the stock-in-trade.
Eh? What would an amateur like you be able to do?
Ah... That's true.
Thank you.
Please ask anything of me.
We're in this together.
Please.
Thank you.
Then, Shige-niichan, here goes!
There!
Oh, you're good, aren't you?
Okay! Then I'll do it harder, too!
There!
I see...
You'll have to leave there for a little while.
Yeah.
It almost completely burned down.
It won't be right away, though.
In the meantime...
...I'll go stay with my son.
I see...
Did you get to take that out?
What's "that"?
The safe.
Your safe.
You treasure that safe more than you do your own life.
That goes without saying.
Ah, I see.
That's good then.
You had amassed so much. Quite a bit.
Of course!
Hang in there.
You guys, too.
And...
Just how much have you amassed?
I won't tell!
You haven't changed, have you?
Is that bad?
I didn't say that it was bad, did I? Fool!
Ah, I see.
You...
If you should get sick...
...make sure you go to the very best hospital and see the best doctors.
Because you have so much money to spare.
Okay?
You don't have to skimp anymore now.
Understand?
Because you can't take your money with you if you die, after all.
I know.
I know already!
Hang in there! Hang in there!
There!
Eh?
Well, I give up.
Can I see it for a minute, Kazunari-kun?
Eh... Ah, here.
Ahh... You're great at this, aren't you?
No... not at all.
Your Dad is very skilled, isn't he?
Yeah!
Say, Toko-chan.
Huh?
It was fun living over there.
Yeah.
Eh?
What do you mean?
Yeah...
I was thinking of going to my daughter's.
I could work hard...
...and restart the shop.
I'm already up in years though, right?
I don't know how much longer I'll be able to work.
Ah...
But still...
I'm...
I'm already tired of being just by myself.
I really am...
That's why...
When I'm here, I just feel it's time to rest.
Saying such a thing isn't terribly wrong of me, is it?
Of course not.
You've been working hard for long enough.
Thank you.
Say, Michio-san.
Huh?
Take care of this person.
She's always saying...
...just how strong she is, but...
...truth is...
...truth is... she's a coward.
She can't help it.
Ah, she's such a coward...
...that back when we were kids...
...whenever she'd cry, she'd rush over to my place.
Whaa, whaa, whaa, she'd cry. That's right, isn't it?
All, I will.
When you go to Hamamatsu...
...you'll get to eat your fill of unagi (eel)...
...and you'll get all recharged again, won't you, Oneechan?
You might be right.
What'll I do?
If I get overly-rejuvenated?
How should I know?
Ah...
Such a fool. Really, geez!
Oneechan's...
...a fool!
Toko-chan...
"Setsuko-san went to live with her married daughter in Hamamastu."
Go ahead.
Thank you so much, Machiko.
What are you saying? I'll get angry.
Yeah.
Thank you very much. It's a big help.
Not at all... It's nothing, really.
Machiko-chan, we truly thank you.
Thanks!
Machiko-san, what do you want to play?
Eh? Let's see.
Ah but, I came today to play with one other person.
Eh? Will your husband show up, too?
No.
Someone far more entertaining is coming.
- Ehh... Who could it be? - Who?
Who could it be?
Hello there!
Ah!
Ah, Ikuko!
Yoko...
Ikuko!
You've been too far away.
What are you saying, fool.
It's you guys who haven't come to Tokyo.
That was a terrible thing, wasn't it? Terrible.
Yeah.
Ikuko!
A terrible thing. Just terrible.
