We're going to have a baby.
Congratulations!
So it'll be a post-war baby?
I'll be happy to be a grandpa.
What's your grandmother like? I'm Kirino who's scary when I get angry.
I'm stubborn and I hate to lose.
Grandmother . . . ?
Sunshine Chapter 16 "THE ERA OF WOMEN" Episode 91
What is it?
What's wrong, Yoko? Leaving our guest alone like that.
What's wrong?
I know it's wrong for me as a daughter-in-law to ask something like this, but . . .
Are you trying to make me angry?
I wouldn't think of it.
Then what is it? Just tell me what you want!
Yoko . . .
I don't want to let my grandmother go home.
What?
What do you mean by that?
You mean you want her to spend the night? That's no problem...
That's not it.
You mean you want her to live here?
Yes.
Oh, my . . . !
I don't mean forever . . . just for a little while.
I just don't want to let her go home like this.
Even if she goes home, I'm sure she'll be lonely.
And besides . . . besides . . .
You want her to see her great-grandchild?
Yes.
I don't see why not.
Really?
What's wrong, Mom?
Why is it you two seem to understand each other?
How disagreeable.
- Are you against it? - No, I'm not.
Who said I was against it? I wanted to be the first to agree to it.
Then it's okay?
I don't see why not.
If she's your grandmother, she's like a mother to me.
Thank you.
But I don't think she'll agree to it that easily.
Someone like her . . .
That's true.
What should we do?
For now, we need a strategy to keep her here today, don't we?
Yes.
After that, you can take your time and talk to her yourself, Yoko.
Okay.
Listen . . .
for now . . .
Okay. I got it.
You're on a roll today, aren't you?
Why are you so jealous?
All right!
Mr. Kamikura . . . Mr. Kamikura!
I'm so sorry . . . we had a little business problem.
She just wouldn't listen!
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You want me to . . . ?
Please!
All right. It's a very, very important role, isn't it?
Yes.
It's my chance to show my stuff, isn't it?
Well . . . uh . . .
Mr. Kamikura . . .
You don't have to get carried away.
What?
I mean . . .
I'm counting on you.
Leave it to me.
I see. You're having a hard time making a go of your business, aren't you?
Yes, in hard times like these
I'm sure every business is having a hard time.
Isn't that right, Yoko?
That's so true.
Is that right?
I'd better be going.
I'm sorry we couldn't offer you anything.
Not at all.
Kamikura . . . Kamikura!
Kamikura! Kamikura!
Yes, Mistress!
What's wrong, Kamikura?
I'm so sorry . . . I'm all right.
It hurts! It h-h-h-hurts!
Are you okay, Kamikura?
I'm okay.
Call a doctor!
No . . . that's not necessary. I'll be okay if I could just lie down for a while.
Why don't you rest upstairs for now, Mr. Kamikura?
Yes . . . go on upstairs!
Are you okay?
In any case, as there were no more trains by then that day,
my grandmother and Mr. Kamikura spent the night.
Mistress!
Give me a break!
Thank you for your once-in-a-lifetime performance.
Please give me a break. I'm begging you.
It's the first time . . .
Eh?
I've been working for the mistress for over 30 years,
and this is the first time I lied to her.
I'm very sorry.
No . . .
it was a good lie.
Yes.
But it feels good to be able to
fool the mistress.
That brings back memories.
It must of been something of your mother's that you treasured.
No . . . it makes me happy.
Does it?
Here you go.
I wonder if Mr. Kamikura is okay.
I wonder.
It's okay.
Eh?
That was terrible acting, wasn't it?
I really couldn't bear to watch.
Huh?
You all deceived me, didn't you?
- I'm so sorry. - I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Thank you.
But that was really terrible acting.
It was so hard to pretend to be fooled by that.
I had trouble trying not to laugh.
But you fooled me, Grandmother . . . I really thought you were worried.
That's true.
I used to be in the drama club in high school.
What?!
I see!
I underestimated you.
- But it was Kazumari who thought of it. Right? - Yes.
What a terrible script.
It was.
Um, Grandmother . . .
Yes?
I have a favor to ask you.
What is it?
Will you . . .
live here with us?
What?!
I want to be with you.
Please!
Please stay.
I . . .
I cut my ties . . .
with my daughter . . . your mother.
Yoko . . .
I told you when I saw you the last time, didn't I,
that you and I
can't live our lives together.
Didn't I tell you that?
You and I . . .
can't live our lives together.
You understand that, don't you?
But I think of myself as your grandmother.
Always . . .
Did you say that?
I forgot.
How could you say that?
Won't you stay to see your great-grandchild?
It won't be long now.
Please!
I want to be with you.
Sunshine
What's wrong, Kamikura?
It's the first time I lied to the mistress.
Won't you stay here with us?
Won't you stay and see your great-grandchild?
It won't be long now.
Sunshine Chapter 16 "THE ERA FOR WOMEN"
Please!
I want to be with you.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Then you'll . . .
I'll stay.
Will I be okay here?
You could say that I'm selfish.
I know that.
Eh?
I'm sorry!
My!
It's going to be fun, isn't it?
It moved.
- What? - Huh?!
The baby moved.
Right here.
- The baby moved. - It moved! It moved!
Over here.
I feel like I've reaped a benefit.
See what you missed out on, Kazunari!
Did you say something?
No . . .
You didn't?
It moved! It moved!
That's great!
That's so. That night . . .
Whew!
Intruder!
There was someone suspicious!
That was my husband.
What?
This is my house, isn't it?
Here you are.
Really?
This?
It's mine.
Do you want me to wear your clothes?
Yes! Please!
Have you ever worn a "monpe (Japanese-style pantaloons)?"
Never!
I just didn't want to, so . . . I didn't go outside.
But they're really comfortable, Grandmother.
They look like they are, don't they?
In that case, I'll borrow these.
Okay.
They're well-made, aren't they?
They look good on you.
They look really good!
Right? I thought I'd look in them, so I didn't want to wear them.
You look adorable!
Oh, that's right.
I have a favor to ask of you. Is that okay?
Yes. Ask me anything.
Are you sure? In that case . . .
Grandmother's favor was that
she wanted us to let her make breakfast for everyone
and we weren't allowed to look while she was making breakfast.
It was a favor that sounded like the fairy tale about the crane repaying its obligation.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I wonder what's she's going to serve us.
It can't be much since we don't have much to work with.
That's true.
Did your grandmother cook at home in Tokyo?
- I don't know . . . - I'll bet she didn't.
Probably.
Good morning.
What's everyone doing here all together?
How nice.
Wait a minute, Sis!
How scary!
- What's going on? - It's scary?
Was it plucking its own feathers, and weaving on a loom?
What are you talking about?
Don't be ridiculous!
But she glared at me with a really scary look.
Really?
Where's your husband?
He left here full of enthusiasm.
Dad's really trying hard, isn't he?
He sure is.
If he can't make soba noodles, it doesn't feel as if the war ended.
It's stubborn pride.
I see . . .
I wonder about that.
Maybe he's found another woman and having an affair.
No . . . there's no way.
Why would he do that when he has such a beautiful and fun wife like me?
Don't you think so too, Kazunari? He'll never find a better wife anywhere, will he?
What good does it do to get your own son to agree?
Why? Don't you think so?
- That's not the problem. - You think so too, don't you?
Like I said . . .
It's just as Mom says!
Isn't it?
You're right. There's no way that husband of yours
would find someone else.
- You're the one who brought it up. - That's right.
That's why . . .
You're always like that.
Never mind already.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Maybe I should . . .
Yoko! Yoko!
If you peek, the crane will fly away.
Here she comes.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Not at all.
I hope you all like it.
Please go ahead and eat.
Okay.
Is anything wrong?
What is it?
No . . . it's okay.
It looks delicious, doesn't it?
It's the first time I've seen anything like this.
Grandmother?
What is it?
Because I really love you, Grandmother,
it's hard for me to say this, but
I'm going to say it.
Okay.
This . . .
is our family's food supply for the entire week.
What?
Oh my!
I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry.
What have I done? I'm so sorry.
Please don't.
Grandmother, we'll . . .
manage somehow, won't we Mom? Shall we eat?
Yes . . . let's eat!
Let's eat!
- What is this? - It's delicious!
What is this?
Grandmother, please go ahead and eat too, before it gets cold.
Thank you.
You too, Mr. Kamikura.
Please come and eat.
- Mistress! - Give me a break.
What are you doing?
Go on and eat, Grandmother. It's really delicious.
Go ahead.
Oh my! It's delicious.
Grandmother!
It's so soft and fluffy.
- It's called an omelette. - Omelette?
- You mean it's not "tamagoyaki" (Japanese sweet fried egg)? - That's right.
You're a good cook, aren't you, Grandmother?
Thank you.
We'll be going now.
- Have a nice day. - Have a nice day!
Be careful of the baby.
Okay.
I'll see you later.
Be careful.
Sunshine
I wanted to fill in for her mother
and make absolutely sure
that she gives birth safely.
It moved! The baby moved!
See what you missed out on, Kazunari!
It moved! The baby moved!
I'll be going now.
- Have a nice day. - Have a nice day!

I was so happy.
I thought you'd all treat me as a guest,
so I was happy.
After all,
you're family.
Thank you.
Not at all.
How lucky I am to be scolded by my own granddaughter.
But there's something different about her
since the last time I saw her.
- When was the last time you saw her? - When she was in high school.
It was before the war started.
Is that right?
A lot has happened to her since then.
I'm sure it has.
Thank you.
Here you go.
She still looks like a child,
and yet she's a teacher.
Being a teacher during the war, she suffered a lot of pain.
Is that right?
She lost the brother she loved so much in the war, too.
Haruki . . .
That's why I think she's gotten stronger . . .
She has, hasn't she?
And on top of that, she's going to be a mother soon.
She is!
I need to thank you for so much.
What for?
After all, if you hadn't given birth to Hiroko,
Yoko's mother,
I wouldn't have been able to live together with Yoko.
That's why . . .
thank you!
You're welcome.
I would be too embarrassed to say that if she were here.
She married into a nice family, didn't she?
Thank you.
Not at all. You're welcome.
Well . . .
please help me out in the restaurant.
Huh?! Is it okay?
Of course.
I'm so excited!
I've always wanted to work in a place like this.
Did you?
So then . . .
wait here just a moment.
Here . . . an apron.
This is how our life with my grandmother began.
Grandmother lived with us until I gave birth.
It was so much fun.
According to Mom,
Mr. Kamikura looked a bit lonely when he left to go back to
look after Grandmother's house in Tokyo.
You've gotten quite big, haven't you?
Yes . . . and it's gotten a bit heavier, too.
Has it?
- Yoko Sensei. - Yoko Sensei!
What's wrong?
- Shall I carry your things? - Me too!
Really? Thank you.
Thank you for waiting.
I'll have the simmered dish.
I understand. You're having the simmered dish.
I'm home!
- Welcome. - Welcome home!
I'm back.
Excuse me.
Welcome.
Thank you so much for coming.
How polite . . .
Please come this way, sir.
I shouldn't be called "sir."
I don't know about that. Please come this way.
In that case . . .
please pardon the intrusion.
Come in.
We'll take your things.
Let us relieve you of your burden.
Thank you.
Okay, relax.
I'm going to change.
Take your time.
Okay!
Welcome to Maru-An.
Grandmother!
Oh my! You're . . . Ikuko?
Yes.
I see.
Um, what's going on?
They're letting me stay here.
Is that right?
Hello!
Hello.
What are you doing here, Ikuko?
You sure have gotten big.
I came to see how the baby's doing. Is everything okay?
- Sure. - I'm glad.
Closed for meal preparations.
Is that right?
You were in Tokyo?
Yes.
It was terrible, wasn't it?
It wasn't terrible at all for me . . .
There were many people who went through a lot more than I did.
You can't compare the weight of your hardship with anyone else's.
You don't need to think that compared to others, the
pain and hardships you experienced weren't that bad.
There's no need to do that at all.
You went through something terrible, and
you suffered. You were sad.
That's enough.
You don't need to compare it to anyone else.
I see. Thank you.
How long were you in Tokyo?
I came back to Azumino after the big air raid.
Yoko and Machiko came to bring me home.
Did you?
Yes.
My, I'm surprised you went there.
Yes.
Please let me go to Tokyo!
I know it's a reckless thing to ask, but
I just have to go to Ikuko.
You're my daughter, so
you're going to be okay.
Yes.
Let's go back to Azumino together.
I want to be with you, Ikuko.
I see. What a wonderful friendship you have.
Right.
There was quite a commotion when we sent her off.
I'm sure there was.
It was terrible when she left, and when she came back home.
Yoko and I cried so much, didn't we?
Yes . . . I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
Excuse me . . .
What is it?
Will Tokyo be okay?
Tokyo will be just fine.
After all, we recovered from that great earthquake, too.
On top of that, it became an even better place than it was before.
It was a city reborn.
Not only Tokyo, but
all of Japan will be okay.
Our country isn't that weak.
Right.
That's so. That's so, isn't it?
I'm sure you'll be surprised when you go back to
Tokyo, and find that it's been reborn.
Right! I'm looking forward to it.
Hello!
Huh? It's Machiko!
It is.
Welcome.
Hello . . . Grandmother!
How are you?
She's staying with us now.
Is that right? How wonderful.
It's been a long time.
It's nice to see you again.
What are you doing here, Machiko?
I just came to see how you were.
So you were worried about me?
No . . . I was worried about the baby.
It's the same with me. I was worried about this baby here.
That's right.
What do you mean by that?
I'm really looking forward to it.
That's right. So am I.
Thank you for your concern.
- Yoko? - What?
Doesn't the baby move?
Hello!
You can't just make it move.
That's right. You can't, can you?
Hello! Machiko's here.
What?
Thank you.
Yoko . . .
Aren't you afraid?
You have a life inside of you now.
Yeah, I'm afraid.
But I think if I'm afraid, my unborn baby will be even more afraid.
I see.
Has such a time really come?
You're a mother, aren't you?
That's right. I am.
I wonder how it feels.
I feel great respect for all the mothers in the world.
I see.
You do?
So what's wrong, Ikuko?
Huh? What do you mean?
There's something you wanted to tell me, isn't there?
Isn't there?
Is that right, Ikuko?
Yes.
You too, Machiko.
Huh?
