I think it's time we spoke about what we're going to do...
...from here on.
Let's do that.

Let's do that...
Even if we thought forever about what happened...
...there's nothing to be done about it.
Well, we managed to weather both this and the war.
That's true.
Yes.
The future of Maruyama...
In short, it's come down from her grandfather to us.
And, well...
...naturally we succeeded to it.
And we figured Kazunari and you would succeed to it in turn.
Yeah.
Well, we've been telling you that since you were a child.
But, that was because there was a Maruyama.
Right?
We thought we could protect that for you.
Eh?
That's right.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
In short, it's gone now.
It would have been yours though, after all.
And that's why we have to think out each point starting from here.
Well, this is what we were thinking.
Right?
Whether or not we should shut down Maruyama as a soba restaurant.
And is that what you guys want?
Well, that's what this is about.
Yeah!
Well...
It's not that we've lost our nerves particularly...
...nor even that we just don't feel like doing it anymore.
That's not what we're talking about.
Ah.
Yeah.
We think what happened was regrettable.
It's vexing that Maruyama is no more.
Why then why do we say this?
We just thought this would be a good chance to do this.
Right, Yoko?
The world has moved on into a new era.
You guy's era.
Right?
That's why your mother and I have agreed...
...we throw you guys all of our support in whatever you decide.
Oi, what's with that expression, Kazunari?
Well...
Perhaps it's proper we recognize...
...that such things will disappear.
But...
...even so, we still have to go on living, don't we?
In that case...
We should make good use of this and overcome it.
That's all.
Because it is regrettable.
And it would be regrettable to lose because of it.
We want to win against it.
Right?
This is just such a chance. Right?
Because you guys are the heirs.
So, since it's your lives that are involved...
...we want you to consider things and to make the choice.
I...
...can understand that...
But...
But?
When you spring this on us so suddenly...
...we can't know what to do so quickly.
That's true.
That was what I was raised on since forever.
It's something I don't like thinking about.
So...
I still don't know what to do.
Yoko, how about you?
Eh?
What do you think, Yoko-chan?
Well... I couldn't...
I'll let Kazu-san make that decision.
What are you saying?
The way you say that makes you sound old, Yoko.
Eh?
This is already the era of gender equality.
Yes, well, that's true, but...
Look, I've only just come into the Maruyama family, so...
That has nothing to do with this.
After all...
...you'll be making a decision that will affect you from here on across your long lives.
That's true, isn't it?
Yes.
And, how about it?
What would you like to do?
Well... This is so sudden...
I see.
Well, that's true, isn't it?
Let's let the two of them discuss it between themselves.
Right?
But, well...
...we can't be a burden here forever, right?
That's right.
Well, um, that'll be okay. We can...
We understand how your father and Shigeki-san feel.
But, we can't rely on their kindness forever.
We have to make our best effort to leave even a day sooner or it's no good.
Isn't that right, Yoko?
Yes.
Yeah.
Well then, you two discuss it over.
All right.
Right, Yoko-chan?
Yes.
Yeah.
Your father was rather reliable today, wasn't he?
Now, now, I was thinking that myself.
I was thinking I had done pretty well, too!
Good for you!
Yes, thank you very much.
What is this?
Now, now, now. That's how it is, right!
Cute, aren't they?
That's right.
- Did she go to sleep? - Yeah.
Thank you very much.
I'm very sorry.
Our strategy meeting is over at last.
Oh, a strategy meeting huh?
Yes.
Did your strategy meeting turn out well?
You could call it a tag-team operation.
Oh!
We are truly under your care.
What are you saying Maruyama-san? I'll get angry.
Ala!
Say, Shigeki-san.
Yes?
Is your father scary when he gets angry?
Eh?
Well, that's right.
Back when we were children, he was scary.
Right, Yoko?
Yeah, that's right.
But, I think he gradually became a gentle person.
Yeah. That's true.
I see.
Still, that seems natural.
What do you mean?
Because there's that, isn't there?
Your father was scary because your mother was there, wasn't she?
A scary father makes a child want to curl up with the mother.
Having a scary father and a gentle mother is perfectly natural, isn't it?
Yes.
Then afterwards...
...Sudo-san had to give you your mother's share of gentleness.
So that's why.
Right, Sudo-san?
No, no...
You understand, don't you! Thank you.
But it was the reverse in our family.
- The roles of father and mother. - Eh?
- Where? - Where?
"Where," you ask? Aren't you aware of it?
- Not in the least. - Not in the least.
- Huh? - Eh?
I'm sorry.
- What was that? - Right?
What's with that expression?
- Maruyama-san. - Eh?
Shall we have some drinks while viewing the moon?
- Oh! - How about it?
- Sounds good. - Sounds good, let's do that.
Eh? Are you sure? A ronin like you preparing for exams shouldn't drink.
Look you, sometimes you need a breather.
Yes, yes. Go ahead and have your breather.
Drinking under the moon is good preparation.
Thank you very much.
Ah! There's that, Maruyama-san.
Yes?
Don't you think it's unusual to be enjoying yourselves this way...
...with the former members of your daughter-in-law's family?
Well... when you put it like that, it's true.
Well, I'm not talking about just paying regards. I really think so.
Right, Shigeki?
That's right. It's very enjoyable, isn't it?
That's true.
- It is enjoyable, right? - Yeah.
Enjoyable. Right, Yoko?
Yes.
Say, this seasoning is pretty good, Yoko-chan.
Ah, that's true.
Ah, delicious, isn't it?
Ah... I'll bring in the tea.
Yeah. Thanks.
Ah, where are Dad and Mom?
They went for a walk. Along with Hinako and Kyoko.
Is that right.
It probably...
...was to make time so the two of us could talk, wasn't it?
Ah...
It's regrettable we have to strategize like this...
...but it's not easy for the two of us to talk about it, is it?
That's true.
Have a seat.
Yes.
- Here. - Thank you.
I'll tell you my thoughts. Ready?
Yes.
