No, no. Step on it more lightly.
I see. How about this?
Umm. That's so-so.
So-so, huh?
Okay! I'll definitely get it right.
To get good at something, you have to practice!
How about now?
That's so-so.
Sensei, take this please!
Yes!
Ah, are you okay?
Ah, thank you.
Ah...
Thank you very much.
Soba-soldier, hurry up!
Yeah.
Now, try it one more time.
Okay!
"The more I thought about him, the greater I grew to like him."
"But maybe it was hopeless."
"I couldn't help but think this way..."
"...but I thought I should be honest during wartime."
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Welcome home. Thanks for your hard work.
Haruki, you've come home?
Yes.
Eh, you're going to become a surgeon?
Yeah, I think so.
Since the war is expanding...
...the date of my graduation is being moved up.
Once that happens, I'll be called-up, too.
Yeah.
I've been thinking, "I want to go to the war myself."
And, "I'd like to put the medicine I've learned here to some use."
"I might be able to help out that way," I was thinking.
I can fight along with Shigeki.
I see.
Yes.
Will you be going to war right away?
No.
After graduation, I'll have to study to become a surgeon at the Naval Medical Student's School.
So I'll go 6 months from now.
I see...
Don't look that way, Yoko.
Yes.
I see...
A surgeon, huh?
Thank you very much.
Truth is, for me today, too...
A request came for me from an airplane factory in Nagoya.
They're urgently trying to develop a new-style of fighter plane.
And...
They've requested that I join them.
What are you going to do?
To be honest, I was wavering about it until a short while ago.
But, I think I'll go to Nagoya.
I want to be of use to you guys on the front lines.
Dad...
This will be my battle.
Have you gotten a letter from Shigeki?
I see...
No news is evidence that he's fine.
Yes.
That's true.
Yoko.
Yes?
This is delicious.
Really? I'm happy.
Because I can't get wheat flour, I made it with kaoliang. (a variety of sorghum)
Eh... It's great.
You can get married at any time.
Eh?
Ah... Thank you very much.
But I don't have time for that right now.
I see.
"The next day, there was this reunion, as well."
Ah... this is a surprise.
Machiko-san, isn't it?
Yes.
I'm working now.
Is that right?
Ah... it suits you.
Eh... Really? I'm happy.
Are you returning to Nagoya?
Ah... Yes. Right now.
I see...
Take care.
Well then...
Excuse me...
Thank you very much for the book you gave me some time ago.
I've treasured it.
Ah... I'm embarrassed. Please throw it away.
I wouldn't like that...
I won't.
After all, Heine is a favorite of mine.
So I can't throw it away.
Is that right.
That's good then.
Ah...
I... love it, too.
Well then...
Please, be happy.
"In those days, everyone's love was sad."
Yoko.
Yes?
Would you go out with me?
Eh?
Before I take my new job, there's a lot of things I have to study up on.
Ehh...
I want to go to the bookstores and libraries in Matsumoto.
Would you go with me? Huh? The two of us should go out once in a while.
- Yes. - Yeah.
Okay! Well then, let's hurry.
Yes. I'll get ready.
"Nagano-ken, Matsumoto"
Are you okay? Did you get everything you need?
Yeah. Sorry for dragging you out like this.
No. I bought some books, too.
- Say, Yoko. - Huh?
I'm starved.
Yes.
Okay! We'll go here.
"Maruyama Soba"
Eh?
Come, hurry up, Yoko.
Dad.
But...
C'mon! I'm dying of hunger here.
Come, Yoko.
Excuse us!
Yes!
Welcome.
Ala, my!
Hello.
Ah... He... Hey! Dear!
Huh?
Ah...
Well, you've come. It's such a long ways...
Oh, well... hello there!
Hello.
We came to Matsumoto on business...
...and since we knew this restaurant, we didn't want to worry you by going somewhere else.
Ah... we're so happy!
- Now, now, have a seat. Right! - Thank you very much.
Now, please sit, Yoko-chan.
Welcome.
Hello. Sorry about this.
Now, look, have a seat.
Oi, Kazunari, we'll close the store for the day.
We don't have much to sell anyhow.
Okay! Let's all eat.
That's true.
Ah, this is nice, this is nice!
But still... was this wrong of us?
What are you saying?
We've caught you now, Sudo-san.
Eh? Have we been caught?
This is delicious.
Yeah, it really is!
It's the dish my father's proudest of.
Delicious, isn't it? Best in the world, isn't it?
That's too much of an exaggeration.
Please go ahead.
Yes, please eat, please eat.
Well, this is some delicious sake as well.
Isn't it? I treasure it and have it hidden away.
I see.
Well, we aren't allowed to serve liquor to customers, times being what they are.
Yoko-san, you must.
Ah... Well, um, I don't drink sake.
Now, now, don't say that. Right?
Don't say such pushy things, Dad.
It's okay, isn't it?
I'm feeling happy today.
Then, just a little.
It's delicious.
Eh?
Oh... glad to hear that. Now, now, have some.
Here, here.
Ah... Thank you.
Ah...
Yes, then me, too.
Eh?
Don't drink too much.
If gets to seriously drinking, she'll start talking more than ever.
More than already?
Eh? What was that just now?
Ah, excuse me.
You said it.
No, no, no...
- Right? - No, no.
She'll...
What were you going to say?
It's still early, isn't it?
The secret is to use vinegar.
It's the vinegar smell and taste that gives it its appeal...
...and makes you want to eat one after another.
Ah... I see.
Well, the recipe is to peel all the vegetables...
...and it's very important to cut them thickly and boil them.
Then let the flavor soak in good and long.
Then add in soy sauce and Mirin... (sweet sake used in cooking)
...and, well, add in lots of vinegar as well.
Dear. Dear...
Um...
I...
