Yoko-san...
Please give me your daughter.
Huh?!
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.

For causing you this fuss all of a sudden, I truly apologize.
Ah, no. Take care.
Thank you very much.
Please, thank you so much.
Excuse me for bothering you. Please excuse me.
Um...
Thank you.
I'm truly sorry for the suddenness of this.
No.
Thank you for listening to us.
So long, see you again.
Yes! See you again.
- She's gone. - Yeah.
Ah, that was tiring.
What was that?
For pete's sake. Popping up out of nowhere and saying that.
Moreover, it seems that person wants to get you married.
Thing is, the other person's a man we know nothing about...
Well, I don't think she's a bad person; just a little insane.
Yeah...
What'll we do?
Would you like me to turn her down somehow?
Ah, well...
Ah, but...
Well... but is it that?
Well... will you meet him?
If Dad says to.
Eh?
Ah...
Well, maybe.
Unless we meet him, we won't know what sort of person he is.
- Dad. - Huh?
What is it?
Please tell me anything. This is an important thing.
Huh? What is it?
I...
Would it be okay if I went out for just a little bit?
Eh?
Just for a little bit.
I'm off!
Ah! Thank you.
What's the matter? Yoko-san, are you okay?
Ah... it's 'cause I ran here.
I see. Has something happened?
Machiko-san.
Look, today...
Yes?
That Yoko, huh...
"Because anyhow, I'm Yoko of the Sun."
Ala, my... Congratulations, Yoko-san.
Thank you.
Eh? No, no, don't congratulate me yet.
But, you don't dislike the idea, do you?
Hmm, well...
What should I do?
From what you've told me just now...
...his mother seems to be a very fun sort of person at least.
Yes. She's a really nice person.
And somehow very beautiful and adorable.
I see. That's great. Congratulations!
Thank you.
Eh? Like I said, not yet...
What sort of person is he like?
Ah, I won't get caught again like that.
Too bad.
Geez, how embarrassing.
I'll get the tea.
Thank you.
"I was happy somehow because I felt..."
"...I had returned to being a girl after such a long time."
"I enjoyed the sunny and festive mood of being able to talk to Machiko this way."
What will you do?
You'll have an omiai, won't you?
Hmm... Should I?
Dad did say, "you won't know until you've met him."
I see.
Well, but that is true.
So should I?
I don't think I should force it so suddenly...
...but Dad did say, "If it's just to meet, you could meet him."
I see...
Yes, that's right.
Your father did, huh?
Yes.
Huh?
I didn't say anything.
Really?
What is it?
I didn't say anything.
It's true. Dad did...
I didn't say you were lying.
You're so cute, Yoko-san.
Geez...
Ah...
Ah, I'm sorry, I...
I wasn't thinking about your feelings...
My feelings?
After all...
That trouble concerning your fiancée.
He's gone to Europe all this time and hasn't made contact, has he?
At a time like that to...
I'm sorry.
Yoko-san.
When it is between us, don't feel so reserved!
Understand?
Yes.
Say.
Would you have to quit as a schoolteacher?
No. She said, "Please continue your work."
I see.
That's great, isn't it? Congratulations!
Thank you.
Ah...
I think you've already decided.
That's not true.
Yoko-san.
Truth is, while I've been waiting to hear from him...
...I've wanted to work.
Eh?
These days, in place of the men who are sent to the front...
...woman should do everything they can.
Ah... I understand, but...
I'm employed! Starting tomorrow.
What sort of work is it?
About that...
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Good morning!
"Everyone was surprised."
"She was the Emperor of Azumino's princess daughter, after all."
"But wars produce such changes, don't they?"
"At that time, many women took the places of men who had been sent to the front."
"For all that I have lived up until now..."
"...that might have been the era when women had it best in society."
Good morning!
It's the mail.
"Machiko continued this work until the end of the war."
Good morning.
"And for the saddest mail..."
"...she delivered those herself by hand."
Ahh...
Just doing such things again.
It's okay.
Here.
Huh? Ala?
Thanks.
We're going to call on those people tomorrow.
Do you understand?
I understand.
And you shouldn't have gone over first without us.
What are you saying?
You would have been useless there, wouldn't you?
I guess.
Say, I've...
...been selfishly pushing this, but are you okay with it?
Don't tell me that AFTER deciding to.
That's true.
If she's someone you like, then she can't be wrong.
I guess.
I do have confidence...
...but couldn't you give me something?
"This is the type I like," or "this is the type I hate."
Someone who loves soba noodles would be nice.
Ah...
She told me before, "I'd be happy to come eat them,"
and "I love soba noodles."
Ehh...
- Then that's fine. - Yeah!
And...
And?
I hope she's someone who treasures those things.
Hmm... I think that'll be okay.
I got that sort of feeling from her.
It'd be great if she were someone who got along well with you.
After all, I'll be going back to the front before long...
...and she'd be living here with you...
Please stop that.
You'll live a long time.
The war won't go on forever, now will it?
Believe that you'll come back from it.
Mom...
I know.
That's fine, then.
Ahh...
I hope this works out.
Right?
Yeah.
"Showa 18, Autumn" (1943)
"And then it was the day of the omiai."
Ah!
Oi, oi, ideal weather...
"While they were called omiais in those days..."
"...they were, due to the times, not fancy affairs."
"We even wore our normal clothes."
"Well, we did wear our cleanest clothes, though."
"That was it."
Ah... We're here.
Will you give the order?
One!
Eh... Two!
Three!
What fools we are.
Let's go!
I am Maruyama Kazunari. Very nice to meet you.
I am Sudo Yoko. Nice to meet you, too.
"He seems like a kind person, I thought."
