"Serial TV Story"
Hiroko's children, huh...
Rather like country bumpkins, aren't you?
This is unpleasant.
If there's anything you feel you want to know about your mother when she was her daughter...
...feel free to visit your grandmother.
What I already know about Mom is enough for me.
For me, too.
Why haven't you come to visit me?
Eh?

Why haven't you come to visit me?
Eh?
Or did your father tell you, "don't go"?
It was no such thing.
In fact Dad told me, "go visit her."
Hmm...
He hasn't changed.
Eh?
Where should we go?
Where...
Um... I hope this suits your taste.
This thing...
If I keep such a thing in my mouth...
...will I be able to talk?
I'm sorry.
Wasn't this your intention?
Eh?
That is, isn't this your plan to break the ice?
Why?
I came expressly from Tokyo.
Nevertheless, just as I was about to return...
...you brought me into this country candy shop to sit.
That may be so, but...
But what?
I had no intention of even visiting you.
Don't you want to know? About your mother.
You do, don't you?
- Well that's... - It's true, isn't it?
In that case you should say, "please tell me."
No. That's okay.
Please don't tell me.
Not very adorable, are you?
Anyhow, I'm not adorable. And I don't favor my mother, either.
No, you do favor her.
Eh? But...
That stubborn facet of yours...
...it's the spitting image of Hiroko's.
And, if there's anyone who can say who favors Hiroko...
...that would be me.
I see.
Shh!
Your friends?
Yes. My best friends.
I see.
Girl's School students, huh?
Yes.
Hiroko was pretty, too, in her Girl's School days.
I remember her even now.
That happy yet shy...
...and yet proud look on her face when she put on her uniform.
From when she was little, her body was weak.
Right after she was born the doctors told me...
"This child may not make it."
Therefore I was happy with her.
My husband felt the same way I did.
So we held a magnificent party for her...
...at the Imperial Hotel to celebrate her going to the university.
The Imperial Hotel?!
Um, this may be rude of me, but ma'am are you...
Ah, no, no...
What does your husband do?
- My husband? - Yes.
He is invested as a Viscount.
A... Viscount?!
Um... What you call "Viscount"...
Um, that's a nobleman type like Earls and Barons and such...
Uh... that sort of Viscount?
Yes, he's a Viscount.
Kyaa! I'm astonished!
You are truly welcome here.
Excuse me. Thanks.
She was a child who loved music and reading books.
It was her dream to become a school teacher.
But my husband wouldn't permit it.
"It isn't necessary for women to be employed," he said.
Would you like to inspect the inside?
Eh?
Ah, no.
Um... where is she?
Inside there.
Young miss Yoko and friends are with her.
Eh?!
It was at that time that she met your father.
Your father was an engineer or something like that, developing airplanes.
How they came to meet and fall in love, I don't know.
But, your grandfather wouldn't permit it.
Absolutely wouldn't permit it.
And so she left.
Without a moment's hesitation.
I still remember the day she left as if it were yesterday.
But I knew she would be leaving.
Still, I said nothing.
I loved her that much.
But she...
I think she also realized that I knew.
Still, saying nothing to one another, we had dinner.
She had her favorite, curry and rice.
And then, you guys were born.
Even though I thought she wouldn't be able to bear children.
Yet even so, Hiroko was able to bear three strong children...
What happened after that, I don't know.
Because we had broken our ties with Hiroko.
Yes...
I wonder how many years ago that was. You were still...
...at just this age.
Because she was our only daughter...
...it was essential we have a boy to succeed us no matter what.
Otherwise our family would have ceased.
And so...
...we tried to adopt Shigeki-kun.
Eh?
Of course, both Hiroko and your father declined.
But, your grandfather felt that perhaps by using his influence...
...we could forcibly take charge of Shigeki-kun.
The one who put a stop to that was me.
It was the first time I had opposed my husband.
The reason I did so was due to Haruki-kun.
Haru-niisan?
Yes.
I refuse.
I absolutely won't have Shigeki sent to you.
Absolutely not.
But...
...if he comes to our family, he may be happier in the future.
No.
I will never be separated from my brother.
Shigeki... is my treasured little brother.
He'll be happier off together with us.
As eldest son, I will protect our family.
I'll protect him to the end.
I won't let him go away.
And if we say we'll take him, no matter what?
I'll...
...kill Grandfather.
And then myself.
I see...
Killing would be a problem, wouldn't it?
This is delicious. Have some.
We'll keep this a secret.
From your father and mother...
...and from your younger brother and sister.
And about today, too.
Haru-niisan...
You idiot...
Sudo Haruki, you idiot...
