Episode 276
Towards the end of 1967,
following the 49th-day memorial service for Yuri,
a dedication was to be held for Nozomi's new studio.
We'd better get up at 5 a.m. tomorrow.
I'll have everything ready. You can stay in bed.
The nishime is done, so it's just the egg dish.
I'd better finish Kei's sweater by tomorrow.
You don't have to do that. He has others to wear.
I want him to wear the sweater I made.
Nozomi will be very happy.
Kei has finally gotten used to me.
Kids are honest.
They know who takes good care of them.
Nozomi and the apprentices
will start to work right after the dedication ceremony.
Maybe he will ask to take Kei back.
I'm sure he misses Kei...
It will be lonely here without Kei.
Michiko!
What brings you over so late?
I'm sorry to barge in so late at night.
Is Hitoshi here?
He hasn't come home yet?
No.
He didn't come home last night either.
He's been staying out all night lately.
Where does he go?
He...
He must have another woman, after all.
That can't be...
I can't think of any other reason why.
Come on inside.
He was at the office today,
and he didn't act as if he'd stayed out all night.
Really...
I'd been meaning to talk to you, but I didn't want you to worry.
I had no idea such a thing was going on!
Maybe we won't be able to get through this.
You came to my parents' house to get me to come home.
I appreciated your efforts,
and that's why I decided to come back.
I was going to persevere for the sake of my children...
But...
I'll talk to Hitoshi, so please go home now.
You can't leave the kids home alone.
I'll walk you home.
No, let me.
I know it's hard on you,
but if you look so depressed, the kids will suffer, too.
My husband and I split up and lived apart for several years,
but I never cried in front of my children,
or said things about their father.
I know it isn't what you want to hear,
but it's your duty to do so as a mother.
I know I'm being unreasonable,
but kids get hurt if they see their parents fighting.
They'll grow up without respect for their father,
or be disappointed in their mother.
Think of what it will do to the kids.
I'll have a good talk with Hitoshi,
so please bear with this for the sake of the kids.
Please, Michiko.
I'll go home.
Make sure she gets home safely.
No. I'll go home on my own.
It's all right. I drove over here.
I'm sorry to bother you. Let me think it over.
Be careful.
Marriage seems to be a very difficult thing...
But why is Hitoshi doing this?
Where is he staying anyway?
You'd better get to bed. We have to get up early.
Never mind that sweater.
He's fast asleep. Let's take him upstairs.
Yes.
I guess I'll have to part with Kei soon...
Hitoshi?
Sorry to scare you.
May I sleep over tonight? I have a key for this house,
but I can't even get into my own house!
Don't you have a key for your own house?
Michiko has set the bolt from the inside.
Ask her to let you in. Just go on home.
No, thanks. I don't need the lecture.
I work hard all day.
I don't need to put up with more grief at home!
Then stop doing things that make Michiko angry!
I hear you have a woman.
You're betraying Michiko and your children!
Don't you realize what it means to be a father?
I give Michiko and the kids everything they need!
Have you seen Michiko's car?
It's much more expensive than mine,
and who do you think bought it for her?
What's she got to be complaining about?
Hitoshi.
All she does is nag.
How long will she keep on bringing Yuri up?
She's always saying that I've betrayed her,
and that I only married her for her money!
I'm sick of it...
So I need to be with a nice woman.
He doesn't need a drink!
Hitoshi is having a hard time.
Thanks, Hatsuko. You're so sweet.
And Yuri was just as nice.
Hitoshi.
I know it's too late,
but Michiko can't seem to break off ties with her family.
You've brought it all upon yourself.
You insisted on marrying her.
I know, and that's why I'm not divorcing her.
Besides, I'm a father.
If you know that,
why are you out trying to wreck your family?
I take care of my family.
I buy the kids anything they want,
and I let Michiko spend all she wants.
Don't I have a right to some fun, too?
Do you realize how Michiko is suffering?
And the kids are watching you both suffer!
Please stay out of it. This is my own family problem.
And I'm the one who made Tanokura Super prosper!
I don't need to listen to you.
No, don't. He's drunk.
I want my fourth store to open soon.
The bank is dying to lend us money!
We can't lose this chance.
We'll have the biggest chain of stores in the region.
When I'm with you and Hatsuko, I feel relaxed.
And I feel badly about Yuri. If I'd married her,
I would have had a much better family life.
Yuri wouldn't have had to die so soon either.
She was so nice...
A really nice girl...
He's such a fool...
He's spent all his time earning money.
Now he is realizing what he's lost in return.
Other women can't offer him permanent solace.
He's very sad inside.
Why else would he come home to us?
But one can't go back in time. He'll just keep forging ahead.
He won't listen to me.
And he'll get hurt and come to realize...
Welcome. Look who's here.
Your father, Kei.
Hello, Kei.
What's wrong, Kei? It's your father.
Maybe he's forgotten.
You're finally home. I missed you so much!
Your whiskers hurt!
You have such a nice sweater on.
Hatsuko made it for him. She stayed up all night.
Thanks, but I think I can take him back now.
If that's what you want.
I can't have him at your house forever,
or he's bound to forget all about me.
Good morning.
Thank you for taking such good care of Nozomi.
We're busy, so we can't do half as much as we'd like.
Congratulations.
Thanks to you and the Master, he's come a long way.
Kei. It must be nice to see your father again.
But we're concerned that he won't be able to work
with Kei to take care of.
I'll manage somehow.
Kei will suffer for it!
A home needs a woman to take care of things.
- Right? - Yes.
Nozomi is still young.
He shouldn't have to stay single forever.
I'm hoping he remarries.
See! Go meet this woman I told you about.
She's never married, but she's very nice.
And she'll take good care of Kei.
She loves kids.
I think it's a wonderful opportunity for him.
Maybe you should meet her, too.
