Yeah, okay!
Then, here goes.
First off, this!
A sponge cake as a gift from Tokyo.
Whaa!
And...
...some delicious cookies.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
They were heavy, weren't they?
Not at all.
Thank you very much.
Ah, no... They're not that big a deal.
This is great, isn't it Hinako?
Ah!
And, I have a gift for Hinako.
- Here you go. - Thank you very much!
You're very welcome.
It's cute, isn't it, Hinako-chan?
That's nice, isn't it Hinako?
Good for you.
Thank you very much.
No, it's nothing.
Well, most of Hinako's toys ended up burnt.
In that case, this works out.
This doll...
...let me see it a moment.
When you do this...
Give it a try!
And... for Kyoko-chan.
Eh... For me?
I heard about you in a letter Yoko sent.
Have confidence.
Here goes.
Ahh!
- This is for me? - Yes.
That's great, isn't it?
Yes. Thank you very much.
Oh! Draw some good pictures with them.
She's really good at drawing.
I'm really bad at that.
Yes, I know.
Eh?
How do you know?
Ah... well that's...
"My sister lives in Tokyo."
"And, she drew this picture of an elephant at Ueno Zoo and sent it to me..."
"...but her picture's so terrible I can't make heads or tails of it."
You saw that drawing?
Yes.
Hinako, what do you know what you're smiling for?
She knows alright.
That you're a weird person.
And now, the first for the men's group.
- Here! - Whaa!
They're hand towels from a famous store in Asakasa.
- These are for us? - Yes.
Ah... This is...
Nice, aren't they?
Whaa, this is a nice pattern.
With these new towels, please regain your fighting spirit.
Yes. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I'm really happy!
Those are very stylish, aren't they?
- Hey, that's mine. - Let me see it, let me see it!
It's mine!
And now, for all the ladies...
...these pretty handkerchiefs!
Here, Yoko.
Eh! Thank you!
- Here, Hinako. - Thank you very much!
What a good answer.
Kyoko-chan, too.
- Thank you very much. - Not at all.
Cute, isn't it?
Right! Cute and pretty!
Thank you, Ikuko.
And now, for you, too.
For me, too?
Yes, of course.
Ah... Thank you.
- Oh, that's nice! - Isn't it?
I know it's been difficult...
...but I felt you shouldn't lose that feeling of being cute women.
Being fashionable and such.
Thank you, Ikuko-chan.
Yes.
Pretty, isn't it? Cute, aren't they?
Thank you.
And now...
...one for Machiko, too.
- Eh? Really? - Yeah.
- I get one as well? - Yeah.
Ah, I'm so happy!
I'm happy that you're accepting it. Right!
I'm so happy! Mine matches all of yours.
It's true.
And I made sure to get one for myself, too!
"All of the women were happy and went back to feeling like they were girls again."
"It was such a time."
Yes, we fellow women!
Say, we're all fellow women, right!
That's right.
Hinako-chan and Kyoko-chan, as well.
"Ladies, live a good life," after all.
Ah, that's true.
Right, Ladies!
"Live a good life," huh...
We'll live a good life!
From here on.
Yeah.
Ah, of course the men should live a good life, too!
How does this look?
Ah! You're like a matching set!
Oh!
Why? Why do you have such a disgusted look on your face?
Oi, oi! Why are you taking it off?
- Now, now, now... - Why did you do that!
Not together.
It looks good on you.
"The song we just played was 'Good Life' by Shotaro Iida and the Octopus."
Eh?
Was that Shotaro Iida and...
The Octopus.
"Good Life."
That's what he said, wasn't it?
That's what he said.
I'm sure of it.
He did say... that.
Eh?!
Um?
"Good Taste!"
"Delicious!"
Eh?!
That's right!
Eh?!
One more time. Hinako-squeek!
You did it.
You're great!
I'm glad she likes it.
Yeah. Thank you for everything.
And, are you okay money-wise?
What are you saying?
What you see here is my earnings from Tokyo.
Ah, that's right Ikuko-san. I heard you on the radio.
Me, too. "Street Recordings," wasn't it?
Really?
I'm already a regular on that broadcast.
Eh? You are?
It's embarrassing.
I'm home.
Ah, welcome home.
Oh, what's this, what's this?
- Excuse my disturbance. - Hello.
Eh, Ikuko-chan's here from Tokyo?
Ah, yes! Sorry for not having kept in touch.
I see. You look good.
Yes!
Sorry for not keeping in touch.
Ah... Well, hello.
You've been working hard.
Ah... well.
Thank you very much for failing so continuously.
Hey you.
Ala? I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?
I'm sorry, Shigeki-kun.
It's not "-kun," but "-san"!
- Ah, is that right? - Look you...
You're the same as ever, Ikuko-chan.
Ah... Thank you very much.
I don't think that was a compliment though.
That's not true, Shigeki-kun.
Like I said, it's "Shigeki-san"!
"-kun"!
Um...
By "Ikuko-san..." then is Shigeki-san the older one?
Ah... I'm sorry.
Kyoko-chan, think about it. I'm Yoko's older brother.
And... Ikuko-chan's the same age as Yoko. Get it?
Shigeki-san... is older.
That's it!
Ah... is that right.
Why do you have a puzzled look on your face?
Ah, no reason.
He does seem like the younger one, doesn't he?
Do not!
Do too!
Do not!
Do too!
Damn...
Ah, messed up.
One more time.
Well, please show me how to do it, Shigeki-san.
Okay! Watch close.
I'll watch.
Eh?
There's nothing you can do about this, huh, Shigeki-kun?
My permanent failed this time around.
Ehh... They're on good terms, huh?
That's true.
Right?
I get this "they like each other" feeling about them.
Eh?
That's true, isn't it?
There!
- Well done. - It was perfect.
"Somehow, it was a little painful."
"After all, Ikuko would have to return to Tokyo right away."
"Still, they really did look good together, didn't they?"
"Various people came over to visit."
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Please ask us for anything.
Anything at all.
Thank you so much for going out of your way.
Yoko-sensei.
This was a truly terrible thing that happened...
...so I wanted to express my sympathies.
Ah...
Thank you, Keisuke-kun. Thank you.
"I want to be a flight soldier like my father and fight against the enemy from the skies."
"I'm a failure of the Rising Generation."
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."
You've grown up wonderfully, haven't you Keisuke-kun.
Well, no...
Ah... Kanta and the others said they'd be along soon.
Really! Thank you.
"I also received a sympathy letter from my Grandmother."
"She was sorry that our beloved Maruyama was gone..."
"...but was happy that everyone was safe."
"She wrote that she was happy just for that."
Ala, Kazunari, Yoko-chan.
Huh?
Yes?
I think it's time we spoke about what we're going to do...
...from here on.
Let's do that.
