That's great, isn't it?
That your Onee-chan bought you a school bag.
Wonderful, isn't it?
It is.
Take good care of it, okay?
Yeah! I love this!
Sorry you have to use your Onee-chan's hand-me-down uniform, Chiyoko.
No. Lots of the others are just like me.
Besides, I'm happy to be wearing the one Onee-chan wore.
Well? Fits me perfectly, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Here, your bento.
Thank you.
Susumu! Hurry up! I'll leave you behind!
Hold on!
I'm not holding on.
Okay, have a nice day.
I'm off!
Be careful.
Yes!
More secret than the stars...
Hoshi yori hisoka ni
Dad. Chiyoko is now a middle school student.
Yatabe Chiyoko
Her uniform is my hand-me-down.
But Chiyoko is very pleased with it...
...and sent me a thank you letter with cute characters.
Somehow I was so happy that I become fraught with emotion.
"Ah, I have to do my best at work," I thought.
Here, the omelet is waiting!
Yes!
I guess you would get this feeling as well...
...while working here in Tokyo, Dad.
Excuse me, a curry for Table 2, please.
Coming up!
Do you remember this man?
It's Watahiki Masayoshi-san.
He's the former police officer who was searching for Mineko's Father, Minoru-san.
He had returned to his parent's house in Ibaraki due to circumstances there.
So why is he back again? Something must have happened, hasn't it?
Break time, break time.
Yes.
Welcome...
Watahiki-san?
Mineko-chan... Ah, sorry for appearing so suddenly again.
What's happened?
May I speak to you about it here?
Yes. Everyone here knows about my Father.
You've found a nice workplace. That's great.
Yes.
Let's see... I had quit as a police officer and returned to Takahagi...
...but I guess I was concerned about your Father...
...so I told my colleagues about my concern...
...and asked them to let me know if they came across anything like a clue about him.
Yes.
A criminal was arrested and brought to the Akasaka Police Station.
He had been robbing cash from migrant workers returning from their jobs.
The year before last, in September...
...he robbed a man who was at the post office trying to remit money home.
But it appears that man attempted to resist.
And so the criminal beat the man with his stick...
And then he took the man's money and ran away.
It seems the man who was robbed...
...was your Father.
Wait! What are you doing?!
That money's precious to me! Please stop!
Please give it back! Please give it back!
Please! Please!
Go away! Get away!
My family is waiting for that money!
It's money I worked for for the sake of my family!
Please! Please!
Let me go!
Please!
Lemme go!
It's precious money! My family is waiting for it!
Please!
Please give it back! Please! Please!
LET GO OF ME!
The criminal became scared... and secretly went back to see how he was.
But Minoru-san wasn't there.
There are no records of him being taken away by ambulance...
...nor any evidence he was admitted to a hospital...
Nor was there anyone who fell and died by the roadside who answered to his description.
In other words... I have no idea what became of Minoru-san after that.
No idea whatsoever. That's where it stands.
I'm sorry that it's not good news.
No... that's not...
For coming all the way out to Tokyo for that...
No, it was because that was my biggest regret during my time as a police officer.
Still, Mineko-chan. Your Father had said...
"This money is for my family. Please return it."
He said that over and over again.
Yes.
It wasn't because he hated being a migrant worker nor that he was running away from his family, right?
Yes...
Yeah...
I'll be going back to Ibaraki after this...
...so I thought I'd visit your home there, Mineko-chan.
Since I want to report this to your Mother myself.
Yes, thank you very much. Please do that.
Yeah.
Ah... Then, I'll be going.
Excuse me.
Could you wait a moment?
Eh?
Ah... yes.
Good.
Then, give us 10 minutes. We'll give you a bento box to eat on the train.
Eh? But that's not...
We're indebted to her, so please let us do this for you.
Genji, Hide!
Yes!
Please allow me to help out. Please.
Please!
Since I can't begin to thank you enough.
Then, get the hamburgers prepared. Hide, teach her how.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
First rub your hands in oil.
And then roll the meat around like this to work the air out of it.
You worked at a police box here in Akasaka, right?
Yes.
At the one in 5-chome.
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Ah, no, that's not...
And... thank you...
We thank you... as her Tokyo family.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Ah, that's not...
Please tell this to Yatabe-san.
"Mineko is doing her best, so please rest at ease about her."
Yes. I understand.
Then, take care, Mineko-chan.
I will. You take care too, Watahiki-san.
Yeah. If I find out anything, I'll contact you again.
Yes. Thank you very much!
So long!
During the painful times...
...I think the best thing to do is just concentrate on what's right there before me.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Looks so good!
This will keep us alive for awhile longer.
No one said we'd be eating it together.
I just said, "I'd be making this."
Eh?!
Ehh...
It's about time Mineko-chan came back, isn't it?
I didn't particularly start this to match up with that time.
That's true, right? I must be wrong, right?
Ah...
You're back.
Welcome back.
Yes, this is Akane Villa. Ah... hello, hello.
No, thank you.
Ah, Mineko-chan.
A call for you from Ibaraki.
Hello? Mom?
Mineko, I heard about it from Watahiki-san, too.
About your Dad.
Yeah.
Mineko, are you okay?
Yeah.
He must have been scared, wasn't he...
He must have gotten hurt, didn't he?
Mineko. I'm sure your Dad is okay.
Yeah...
I wonder where Dad could have gone to...
Yeah.
