What's the meaning of this, Yoko?
I...
I won't leave!
Eh?
I don't like this!
I'm sorry, Ikuko.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Yoko.
Your feelings are wonderful, but...
I...
I'm sorry, but please take me back.
Grandmother, I'm sorry.
Mom!
Welcome back.
I'm home.
Ah!
Ah, I'm sorry, Hinako.
I didn't bring any gifts back for you.
Welcome home.
- You're back. - You're home.
I have returned.
Thanks for your hard work.
You must be tired.
You're hungry, right?
Yes, I'm starving.
I thought of buying a bento at the station...
...but then I thought having a home meal would be better.
- I see. - Thought so!
Then come on inside.
- Yes. - Say, let's eat something.
Don't at me like that.
Yes.
I do not enjoy being an unnecessary busybody.
However, it is part of my nature to fulfill what I have undertaken...
...and I always keep my promises.
Therefore, do not have any hard feelings, Ikuko-san.
Eh?
You will be leaving here today.
It is useless for you to say, "I want to stay here."
If you wish to return no matter what...
...then do something wrong once you are out of here.
By doing so, you may return here.
I couldn't...
That promise is a treasured thing to me.
Do you remember?
The promise I made to Yoko at that Azumino candy store.
Promise?
"If ever there is a time in your life..."
"...when there's really no one you can depend upon and there is something causing you problems..."
"...remember me then."
"I will help you."
"Yes."
"But, only the once."
"Yes."
Then...
The request Yoko made was...
She used it for your sake.
She had no power to do anything herself.
However, she wanted you out of here, no matter what.
Therefore, she asked for my help.
Why...
Why would she do that for me...
It's because she loves you, isn't it?
Carry yourself properly, Ikuko.
Yes.
You did nothing wrong and have nothing to repent for when leaving here, do you?
In that case, throw out your chest as you leave.
Understand?
Yes.
Good.
Well then, shall we go have something delicious to eat?
Yes. Thank you very much.
I see.
Yes.
I'm sorry, Yoko-san.
Eh? What for?
For letting you do this all by yourself.
No. I didn't do anything.
It's all thanks to Grandmother.
Still, I'm glad she's been released.
Very glad.
Yeah.
I want to get it. Can I?
Sure. Speak properly though.
Hello? This is Hyakubyakka.
A call for you. I'll connect you.
Yes, this is Hinako.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Mom?
No, she's not angry.
Mom, a call from Ikuko-chan.
Ah...
Yes, thank you.
Hello?
FOOL!
Huh?
FOOL!
Yoko's a fool!
What is this?
You're the fool, aren't you? FOOL!
Ikuko's a fool! A big fool!
Hmpf!
You went and wasted your all-important request!
FOOL!
You really are a fool!
That's none of your business.
All you do is cause trouble.
FOOL!
You'll always be in my debt!
You'd better pay me back if it takes your entire life.
Got that?
Hmpf!
I know that.
Yoko...
What is it?
I love you!
I...
...love you, too!
You wrote in your letter the other day...
...that your place is where anyone can come at any time, didn't you?
You'd better resolve yourself to my coming someday.
I say that but, I don't have much money right now...
That's okay.
We'll just put you to work.
Machiko's here right now, too.
She says she's angry with you.
Hold on a minute.
Hello?
Yes.
Ikuko-san...
Machiko, you're not angry at all.
I am angry.
I'm very angry.
You're not angry.
"Little by little, customers began coming to our restaurant."
Good afternoon!
Ah!
Welcome!
Now, come over here.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Here is your Tanuki soba. Take your time. (Noodles with bits of deep-fried tempura batter)
Here, the Zansai soba. (wild vegetables)
Sure!
Oi! We don't have enough condiments, Kazunari!
Yes!
This is me.
"The friend who earnestly tells you the things that are within them."
Ehh...
Whenever I read this poem, I remember my treasured friends.
Now from Keiko-chan.
Yes.
"Burdened with the fields, the mother lightly cries with each three steps she takes."
Yeah. It's a nice poem, isn't it?
Yes, yes. Gradually roll it until it's in the shape of a pear.
Yes.
Yes, yes! That's how it should look.
Pear shape, pear shape, pear shape...
Pear shape...
Ala?
- Switch with me. - Eh? I'm sorry.
Ahh!
You need to be careful that it doesn't become too thin.
Yes.
Yeah.
Hello.
Thank you for your hard work.
So long.
Ah... Kazu-san?
