"Serial TV Story"
In order to protect the country, I'll become a soldier.
That means I'll be protecting Dad and Brother...

Japan...
...will surely win.
Just leave it to me!
Yes!

But, like I thought...
...becoming a National School has changed the atmosphere here.
Yeah.
Still, children are children. That doesn't change.
I see...
That's true.
Ala?
Come to think of it, you don't have your bicycle?
Ah... yeah.
I had to turn it over for the metal.
Ah... Is that right.
Yeah.
I'll make sure it doesn't go to waste.
I won't waste even one bullet.
Please do.
Ala? Shigeki-kun.
- Ah, hello! - Ah, my!
- You've returned! - I'm back.
Ah... Could it be the war's over already?
Eh?
Ah, no ma'am. I'll be going back to the battle soon.
I see.
There's still a ways to go before it's over.
You idiot!
But...
Shut up and keep still!
Shigeki-kun, are you on a break?
Yes.
Take it easy then.
It's because Takeo-kun's gone, too.
Eh... Is that right?
Takeo's gone, huh?
Yeah.
Ahh! I guess home is best.
When do you go back?
I take the evening train tomorrow.
I see... That short.
Yeah.
I'll make something delicious.
If you would.
Due to the times, I can't do anything too great, though.
As long as you make it, I'll eat anything.
Dad should be home before long.
I see.
Yoko.
Huh?
Let's surprise Dad.
Eh?
- Is this fine? - Yeah.
Okay! To the kitchen, the kitchen.
Hurry!
Here, here, here...
Okay!
- He's back. - I'm home!
Dad!
Oh, Shigeki.
Eh?
Thanks for the food.
No... Ala?
Eh?
Something the matter, Shigeki?
No, no... Um...
Ala?
Eh?
Eh? You met the Miyamotos?
Yeah.
Why did they have to tell you?
That couldn't be helped.
Still, how did you know we'd try to surprise you, Dad?
I can foretell what you guys are thinking.
Eh? I'm different from him.
Ah, that's true. That's just like Shigeki.
Still, to be reverse tricked by Dad...
Was my acting that good?
Yes.
Somehow or other, Dad has become a slightly funnier person recently.
Ehh...
Just a little, though.
- Yes, just a little. - Yes.
Back when, Dad was terrible.
Um, look...
Wasn't it the day we had Mom's funeral? That.
Let's forget that story.
"That is... Sakura."
Yoko, didn't I just say "forget that" to you just now?
Eh? Did you?
That was so unfunny.
That was the most boring and dullest joke I had ever heard in my short life.
It was so unfunny I laughed hard enough to give myself a stomachache.
When I asked, "Was that a pun,"
...it was Shige-niichan who said, "Dad wouldn't tell such a dull joke, would he?"
Yes, yes. And then Brother confirmed it by asking, "Dad, it was, wasn't it?"
It's best to just let that story go.
- Yes. - I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Hey!
You two...
Suit yourself, you flatterers.
("flatterers" also sounds like "sesame seeds," which his side dish is sprinkled with)
It's true. Dad has gotten a little funnier.
Hasn't he? Just a little, though.
Yeah, just a little.
What's that?
Put an end to this...
- ...already! - ...already!
(also sounds like "brown miso," which is what Ryoichi is about to eat)
Ah... you caught me.
Then why did you say it?
"Afraid it would become serious, we kept on chatting and laughing."
"I thought this might be the last night that all three of us would be together."
It's okay...
It's okay.
Calm down, Shige-niichan.
We're all lucky.
Dad and Mom and Haruki-niisan, too...
So don't worry...
It'll be okay.
Dad...
Haru-niichan...
Yoko...
Mom...
For everything until now...
Thank you...
...very much.
I...
...was happy.
I was...
...happy being part...
...of the Sudo family...
Yoko...
I'll...
...become a star.
And you...
...will be the Sun.
"Shigeki-niisan returned to the front the next day."
I wonder if they would be called traditional values?
Well, I'm sure that in some sense it could be considered wrong...
But...
I... I just don't think so.
That Shigeki-niisan, from his youth, had resolved to die...
I couldn't tell him my feelings and say, "you mustn't."
I think I was afraid.
I think I was sad.
Even so, for those people who, like Shigeki-niisan, didn't raise a complaint...
...I hold the utmost respect.
I take pride in them.
Sensei!
What is it? Did you forget something?
Yoko-sensei, here.
Ala! Incredible! It's a four-leaf clover!
We found it on our way home. Right?
Ehh... That's great, isn't it? You'll have happiness.
We're giving it to Yoko-sensei. Right?
What are you saying?
You should keep it. It's a very good thing.
That's why we want to give it to you, Yoko-sensei.
Yeah. That's why we ran back with it. Right?
Are you sure?
Thank you.
I'll treasure it.
So long, we have to go home.
Yoko-sensei, goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Thank you.
Be careful going home.
Yes!
