"Serial TV Story"
So that Yoko can smile again...
...I'll fight.
I'm going to go check on Yoko of the Sun.
Yo!
Shige-niichan?
Have you gotten married to someone?
No.
Right now I'm a teacher at Arakeyama Elementary School.
It's a very good thing.
That's why we want to give it to you, Yoko-sensei.

Dad, would you like some tea brought in?
Yeah. How's this?
Ah, did you fix it? I'm so happy!
I thought it was no good anymore.
But, I wondered what I would use since I've had this since Mom's time.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
Ah, thank goodness! I'm so happy!
- Ah, I'll bring in the tea. - Yeah.
Okay!
Geez...
Ah... Hello...
Okay!
Let's begin the assault.
Um, that's good.
Excuse me!
Yes!
Ah...
Good afternoon.
Ah, hello.
What brings you here?
I'm sorry for my sudden appearance.
Hello.
And this is?
Ah, um...
Are you Yoko-san's father?
Eh? Ah, yes.
My name is Maruyama.
I'm truly sorry for bothering you so suddenly like this.
Ah, no, no, we don't mind...
Yoko-san and I have this strange relationship...
...where we bump into one another accidentally at times.
Ah... yes.
Ah...
There was a favor I wanted to ask of Yoko-san and her father today...
...so I felt I absolutely must come and talk to you two about it.
Ah...
Here you are.
It's just a trifling thing...
...but here is a tantalizing sample of our Matsumoto soba-manju. (buckwheat roll)
Ah, thank you. That was courteous of you.
And...
Maruyama-san, what did you want to talk about?
Yes.
I work at a soba restaurant named "Maruan," and my name is Maruyama Tokuko.
Ah, Maruan?
Eh?
We once used your store for a company meeting.
If I remember, it was a two story place.
My, did you now? Thank you very much.
No, it was a superb soba.
Thank you very much.
Though we aren't able to obtain soba flour right now...
...we've managed to get along by hook or by crook somehow.
Ah, is that right... I see.
Yes.
Ah, well, I interrupted your story. I'm sorry.
Ah, no...
Huh?
Is something wrong?
Ah, no, what is it?
I just had the feeling I had forgotten something.
Ah, well, that's okay.
Well then, I'll come right to it.
Eh?
Sudo-san.
Ah... yes?
Yoko-san... your daughter...
Please give me your daughter.
Huh?!
Ah!
Ah, I'm sorry!
Um, I have an only son whose name is Kazunari.
By all means, could I have Yoko-san to be his bride?
Eh?
If you would please!
No, no... Eh?!
You won't?
Ah, no. It's not a matter of won't, Maruyama-san...
...it's just I have no clue what you're talking about.
Ala, my... that's so.
I'm very sorry.
Um, please calm down, Maruyama-san.
Yes, yes. Thank you very much.
Ah, please have some tea!
Thank you.
Are you okay?
Thank you.
Huh?
- Ah?! - Hey!
What's the matter?
The thing I forgot...
You've remembered it?
Yes, ah!
Ah!
Ah... I did forget!
What is it?
My husband...
I forgot my husband!
Eh?
Ah... Geez!
I'm sorry! Ala!
"Nagano-ken, Matsumoto"
"Maruan"
Ala? Weren't you going out with Mom?
Huh? Yeah.
Left you behind again, huh?
"Maruyama Kazunari"
Yeah.
Where were you planning on going?
"Maruyama Michio"
I was told not to tell you.
Ah, I see.
Yeah.
Kazunari is 24 years old.
3 years older than Yoko-san.
He graduated from a trade school in Matsumoto.
He was called up for the Matsumoto regiment,,,
...but he was released and he's returned home.
The times being what they are...
...I think he'll be called up again.
It may be his mother saying this, but he's a good man.
He's serious and doesn't talk much...
...but he's a kind child and a hard worker.
And... Maruyama-san.
Why my Yoko?
There's that, isn't there?
The first time Yoko-san and I met was when she was a schoolgirl, wasn't it?
Ah, yes.
Ah.
From that very moment, I thought this.
"Such a cute girl, isn't she?"
"Someday..."
"Someday, when it's time for my son to take a wife..."
"...it would be nice to have such a daughter."
If she marries my only son...
...that means she would become my daughter, wouldn't it?
I thought if I could live with such a child, that would be fun.
Ah...
By all means, she could continue to be a teacher.
That's important, wonderful work...
...and I love those women who hold that job very much.
By all means, please continue it.
No, you MUST continue it, by all means!
Please...
Please allow this!
Well... What to do!
Ah, please raise your head, Maruyama-san.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Hmm...
Maruyama-san.
Yes?
Thank you very much.
I'm very happy that you've thought about me all this time.
I feel... very glad.
Truly, thank you very much.
Not at all.
However, when I first heard this...
...to be honest I hadn't even been thinking about getting married.
Besides, this has been too sudden and I'm a little dazed.
Yes.
That's true, isn't it?
I'm sorry.
Ah, no, your feelings are truly wonderful.
However, I'd like to carefully consult with my father about this before answering.
Ah. Yes, of course you should.
I like you, Maruyama-san, very much as well.
I've always thought of you as a very nice person.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Ah, I'm glad I came!
Ah, um...
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Your wife...
May I offer incense to Yoko-san's mother?
Ah... Ah, yes.
She was a beautiful mother, wasn't she?
Yes.
I asked you mother for this favor.
"I will treasure your daughter," I said.
Eh?
And she answered, "Very well."
You shouldn't tell lies, Maruyama-san.
Yes, I'm sorry. I lied.
I'm sorry!
Ah, I said something impolite.
I am truly very sorry!
"Indeed, it had been a lightning-fast, kamikaze attack."
