I'll tell you my thoughts. Ready?
Yes.
I'm rather ashamed.
Eh? Ashamed?
Yeah.
Dad and Mom obviously had given this...
...some very serious thought.
Ah...
And yet it feels like we haven't considered it at all.
Umm... That's true.
It is, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
It feels like they took the initiative, doesn't it?
That's right.
You're ashamed too, aren't you, Yoko?
Yeah, I'm ashamed.
Yeah.
Damn that Tokuko and Michio!
Huh?
That was just like a child.
Well, that's why, Yoko.
Huh? Ah, yes.
I was...
...surprised by that.
I even said "Eh?" to myself.
Yeah.
Didn't you feel something like that, Yoko?
Eh?
"I want to tell my brother, 'how's it going?'"
"Something like that, Yoko?"
"It's cool whenever anyone admits it like that."
Why do men...
Huh?
Ah, nothing.
That was astonishing, wasn't it?
Ah...
"Hello there, this is Shigeki."
"And I'm Yoko!"
"The two of us together are..."
"...Shigekiyoko!"
A Manzai? (comic duo)
Huh?
Well...
Sora ha aozora futari ha wakai Under the blue, blue skies, we're both so young
Yoko.
Yes?
Could you please take this a bit more seriously?
Eh?
Ah... I'm sorry.
Well, that's okay.
Still, it'd be impossible for me to be a Manzai.
- Eh? - Huh?
Ah... Well, not in a Manzai.
Something else?
Ah, well...
Eh?!
What was that?
You were pretty good in it, Kazu-san.
Eh? I was?
Yeah.
Ah... I'm sorry about interrupting our talk like that.
It's not necessary to be astonished, though.
Family is an important thing...
...and the decisions we make affect all our lives.
That's true.
But I understand how you feel.
Yeah. Thank you.
Say, Yoko.
Yes?
I'd...
...like to go on with the soba restaurant.
Yes.
But, not as Maruyama.
- Not? - Yeah.
When was it...
It was... when our family came out to Azumino that time, right?
Hinako and the 5 of us.
Yes.
Back then...
...we all spoke of our dreams, right?
My dream was...
Huh?
I guess...
...it was that all of our dreams could come true.
That's it, isn't it? That way.
Like what my Mom said of living somewhere different...
...and what Dad said about having his own soba field...
And what you said about having all sorts of people...
...being able to come around at any time...
Couldn't we do something like that?
Is there anywhere we could do that?
Ah!
Eh? What is it?
Have something?
Well...
I'm not sure I have something...
...but I have thought of a wonderful place.
Eh? Where?
Ah... Let's see...
- Kazu-san. - Huh?
Could we go there right now?
Eh?
Not sure how to put it...
...but it's a modern house, isn't it?
Yes.
Ehh...
Mysterious, isn't it?
- Mysterious? - Yeah.
When Hinako saw this house...
...she was saying just how similar it was to the one in her picture book, wasn't she?
And then...
...Kawahara-san, too...
This house is similar to the house...
...on the front of the book I gave to Tae-san long ago...
She said it was a house with the scent of happiness to it.
I can't put this very well, but...
Yeah... But the first time I saw it...
...I got this nostalgic feeling of having seen it before...
I can understand that feeling.
- Really? - Yeah.
It's good.
Yeah, it's good!
Thank goodness.
Ah, Kazu-san.
Yoko.
It still has quite a lot of furniture in it, doesn't it?
Ah, it does.
It would be wonderful if we could get it.
Ah... that's true.
Still, I'll check into it at various places.
Doesn't look like anyone has lived here in a long time.
I'm thinking I should talk to Takeo-san about putting a soba field here, but what do you think?
Ah, yes. I think he could give you advice about that.
I see.
And it's also big...
...so it'd be fine if lots of people gathered here as well.
Yoko's classroom, too.
Yeah.
"The next day, Machiko and I had a meeting before Ikuko went off to Tokyo."
Say, are the people in your family okay?
Yeah. They said come pay us a visit, come pay us a visit.
- I see. - Yeah.
- Ikuko. - Huh?
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I'm so happy.
What are you saying?
You came for me right after that big air-raid on Tokyo to see me.
So of course I would do this.
Besides, I wanted to see both you and Machiko.
Ehh!
And? So this is Machiko's new home, huh?
Yes. There's nothing in it though.
My boarding house is really strange.
Still, you have more than you did the last time I was here.
Little by little, right?
You seem happy, Machiko.
Yes.
Ala? You're calling her "Machiko"?
Really?
Yes.
It became that way.
Ehh?!
Lots has happened since I was here last.
I'm home!
Welcome home.
Ah, welcome.
Hello. We're disturbing you.
How do you do, I'm Tsutsui Ikuko.
Nice to meet you. I'm Hatano. Nice to make your acquaintance.
Machiko, I got your three roasted sweet potatoes.
Ah, thank you very much.
Well then, take your time.
Eh? Ah, well, no... After all...
Ah, it's okay. I still have some work.
And, where it concerns the White Paper league...
...I made a written oath when I got married that I would, "make them a top priority."
Eh?
A written oath?
Yes, that's right.
So long, take your time.
Have an nice day!
Machiko...
...what's this about a written oath?
There is such a thing?
Yes. We both made it.
Eh?!
It's the rules we decided on.
There are many of them...
...but look, once some time has passed after getting married...
...the man starts talking big all too soon and the woman just puts up with it, right?
I didn't want that, no matter what.
So we decided on some rules...
...wrote them on paper and stamped them with our thumb prints.
Eh!
You're great. And intense.
Just what you'd expect of Machiko.
Really?
Huh? What do you mean by that?
No, no, well...
...it was you who suggested we turn in that test all blank.
You do unexpected things like that.
Yeah. That's right.
Is it?
Well, well, it is!
- Right? - That's right.
You two are both wives.
Say, Ikuko.
Huh?
Um... Well...
Huh? What is it?
It's about Shigeki-niisan.
Yeah.
Do you... love him?
