Nagai Aiko: Wakui Emi
And, though I feel sorry for Watahiki-san since he's been searching so hard for him...
...I am just a bit relieved he hasn't.
There's a part of my heart that's thinking...
..."Maybe it'd be best if he doesn't find him."
Still, unless you live every day as best you can...
...then good things won't come to you.
I don't know if God exists or not...
...but I really do feel that He watches over all of us equally.
But... if you don't do the best you can...
...then God won't notice you.
That's what I think. Because if I were God...
...I think I would want to bring happiness to those who are doing their best, even if they do have hardships.
Love is a gentle flower
Blossoming in a field
Under a summer's day
A flower which does not die
It is a passion
Within your heart
One that even the frosts of Winter
Cannot change
Sumiko.
The only one
Toyoko! Take this, please.
Yes.
Within my heart
Dad... somehow everyone is smiling today.
Why do you think that is?
It's because today is payday.
This is the day when I receive my first paycheck.
Come on now, you're in the middle of work!
Don't go discussing things like, "What'll I buy to eat when I get paid?"
Yes.
Hey!
If all you're gonna do is chit-chat like this, I'll hold onto your pay until tomorrow!
I was joking.
I think there are good jokes and there are bad jokes.
And by the way, that one just now was a bad joke.
I understand. I'm sorry.
Still everyone, your efficiency hasn't been all that great recently.
We're below our production level numbers for this month!
Everyone, since we'd feel sorry for him if Matsushita-san's salary was lowered...
...let's do our best, okay?
Yes...
Switch on!
Yes.
Is it true that our production levels have gone down?
Yes. The head office has been fussing over that recently.
Furthermore, they're talking about increasing our numbers, too.
And that really wouldn't be a joke.
It's tough being stuck between a rock and a hard place, isn't it?
You understand? Thank you very much.
Still, their payday faces are such nice faces, aren't they?
That's true, isn't it?
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much!
In those days, everyone's salary was delivered by hand.
However, three years after this, an incident occurred in which a bank truck...
...carrying 300 million yen in bonus payments was robbed.
It's said that that incident was the trigger...
...for speeding the move from paying by hand to delivering salaries directly to bank deposits.
Yatabe Mineko-san.
Yes.
Thanks for your hard work! Here!
Thank you very much!
Dad... this is my pay envelope.
It's very heavy...
Ah, it's unfortunate...
...but though I want to hold on to my precious pay envelope as proof I had come to Tokyo...
...and had worked hard for an entire month, I can't do that.
By the way, Mineko's salary is 12,500 yen.
And then, after food expenses, taxes and insurance premiums had been taken out...
...her net income was 6,000 yen.
In this year, the starting salary for a university graduate civil servant was 201,600 yen.
Yatabe Miyoko-sama
Of Mineko's 6,000 yen in net income, she would send 5,000 yen of it back home.
That leaves her with just 1,000 yen, doesn't it?
Sumiko, you shouldn't put all of it in.
Would you be okay? If you put in that much...
It's okay. I can't use it.
You sure?
Ah... but...
I could keep just a bit of it...
Yes, welcome, welcome! Welcome, welcome!
How old is your Mother?
Mom's 39.
Whaa... she's young!
How about this one?
Girls, you mustn't waste your money! Think hard about it!
You mustn't waste your money, okay!
Housemistress, don't do that.
These are cheap compared to department stores, after all!
What are you saying?! It's my job to protect these girls!
Think hard first, girls! If you can't decide on something, just stop!
Eh?!
Something for Chiyoko and Susumu?
Yeah.
I thought I should buy something for those two.
Yeah.
Say, what do you think of these?
Yeah, they're cute.
Really?
They'll definitely be overjoyed with them.
Then I'll take these.
That's 60 yen.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Oh no! This is so dreamy!
Which one? Ah, it really is cute.
It'd look good on you, Mineko.
Eh?
Go check it out. Here. I'll hold your package.
Ah, a mirror!
Whaa... it's perfect for you!
Cute, isn't it?
It's nice.
It's lovely, Mineko-san.
I do think it suits you.
Really?
I can't buy it...
I'll just go put it back.
Ah Tokiko, thanks.
Say, how about this for my Grandpa?
Ah, that is nice!
It's wonderful.
I can't pick one. Look at this!
It's lovely!
It is lovely!
Is it?
Let's get a mirror...
Whaa, so lovely!
Wonderful, isn't it?
That flower pattern suits you.
Does it?
1 Week Later
Have a good night.
Thanks for your hard work.
Sorry for keeping you waiting!
So nice...
Does it look good on me?
Okay, let's go.
Yeah! Let's go, let's go!
Ah, thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for yours.
Thanks for your hard work.
Where should we go?
Let's go to a coffee shop!
What's the matter, Mineko?
Nothing.
Really?
Shall we go to the bathhouse?
Yes!
You really do love that place, don't you?
Mineko.
A package has arrived for you.
Thank you.
Here.
It's from Mom.
Eh?
Mom...
Mineko-sama, I truly thank you for the money you've sent.
You aren't overdoing things?
With the money you worked so hard for and sent me...
...I will use it very, very carefully.
I truly thank you.
That blouse is one I made.
I hoped you would like it while I was making it.
If you do, please wear it.
Mom...
