Excuse me. Thank you very much.
That's from Sanae-chan's home in the country.
It's not terrible, is it?
What's with the, "It's not terrible, is it?"
What are you angry about?
I'm not particularly angry.
You're clearly angry about something, aren't you? Right?
Eh?
Whaa! What a scary face.
That's true. If this isn't angry...
...what is she like when she does get angry?
Huh?
Is it over what landlady said: "This isn't terrible, is it"?
I have no reason to get angry over something like that.
Um, that's almost ready, so...
I'm stopping it.
Eh?!
So noisy.
Is something the matter?
Well, um, this fried udon...
She stopped it midway.
Eh?
Are you angry about something?
She is, isn't she?
Yes.
It's your fault.
Me?! What did I do?
It's for what you didn't do.
Huh?
What on earth is this?
What? Has your Father gone missing?
Hey.
You heard my phone call, didn't you...
That's true, but why would that make you angry, Sanae-san?
Why did you keep that from us?
She lets people say all sorts of things about themselves...
...and even got these two to say how they have no talent or future.
Eh?
No, no, we didn't say such a thing.
And since this man is conceited...
...he'd never, ever say anything like that, but that's separate issue.
Huh? Why must you say whatever you feel like saying like that?
So noisy.
Then, are you after some sort of confession or just trying to cause trouble?
Are you saying that she's equivalent to these two...
...who have no talent and no future?
Eh?
Like I said, we didn't say such a thing!
That's fine.
She has a wide open heart, doesn't she?
Huh?
A person like me, with an air of mystery about them, can get away with having secrets.
But for a girl like her, whose face at a glance says...
"I have no secrets. I'm just an honest dunce."
"I'll tell you anything," can't get away with secrets.
Huh?
So when having that kind of face...
...her carrying around a secret like that is a serious crime.
Why is that? I don't understand what you mean. You're making me angry!
What reason would you have for saying such a thing?!
In the end, it's that, isn't it?
Even though you thought you'd made a friend at long last...
..."why didn't she tell me about this?" Isn't that it?
Is it like Shimatani-san says?
That's right.
Eh?
Why didn't you tell me? Please explain your reason.
I didn't want to tell you.
Why?
Since the people at Suzufuritei...
...were the ones who originally met my Dad by chance...
...I couldn't help but tell them...
But I didn't want the people here to think of me in that way.
In what way?
I didn't want you thinking, "What a pitiful girl she is"!
I didn't want that at all!
I wanted the people here to think of me...
...as just a normal girl with normal circumstances and normal problems!
That's all!
Ehh...
You've got a complaint?
In that case you should have just said that from the start.
How could I have said that?!
Mineko-chan wins this one.
I do, don't I?
Huh?
Um...
What is it?
Ah, nothing...
Ah, well, um... As you go on with your story...
...you wouldn't want to do that while eating this, would you?
What's that about? I'll eat it.
You'll eat?
I'll eat.
My Dad came to Tokyo as a migrant worker...
...but about two years ago...
...all of a sudden we couldn't get in touch with him at all.
And so then my Mom came to Tokyo...
...and looked for Dad with all her might...
...but didn't find any clues about him at all, so I made up my mind.
That I'd go to Tokyo to look for him, get a job here and send money home...
...and work my hardest for the sake of my little sister and brother.
That's why.
Ehh...
This is pretty good.
Right?
Yes.
Can I ask one thing?
Go ahead.
I understand the situation...
...but if you can't find your Father...
...will you go on...
Will you just go on living like this forever?
Working; sending most of your money back home...
...for your entire life?
I don't know about that.
But I don't particularly hate the idea.
I see...
Please don't look at me with such eyes.
Since I'm not the least bit pitiful.
Since I'm the one who chose to do this.
Sorry.
No, you don't particularly have to apologize...
Yeah.
Well, I do think the possibility of you meeting your Father in a city as vast as Tokyo is low.
But could you say you have a higher probability of doing that...
...than these two have of selling one of their works?
That's true, right?
Yes. What she says is right.
Eh?
Huh?
That's true, isn't it?
I think so.
"I think so"?! Hey!
Would it be okay to get seconds?
Feel free.
I hope something fun happens for Minkeo.
Something fun will turn up, won't it?
Since they say making merry is part of this high-growth world.
For Mineko, too.
It'd be nice if something did.
I see...
Yeah.
But I wonder what's happened ta my brother since den?
Yeah...
I have no idea.
What could it be...?
I'm sorry Muneo-san, for making you come here whenever something happens.
What're ya sayin', Sister-in-law? Enough of dat already.
My wife fully understands, too, so don't worry 'bout it.
She's got a strong body, but she's stronger still as a person.
Thank you.
Shigeko's a good wife.
I guess...
She's scary though.
Saying such things again.
And that's good for you.
It is?
It is.
I see...
If it's Dad saying dat, it's okay.
Oh, I brought it, I brought it.
I got lots of it.
Truly, thank you.
There's lots of it here.
There is lots, isn't there?
Bracken...
Ah, bracken.
Truly, thank you for this.
This again?!
Eh?
My wife wrapped dis up in today's newspaper again.
Since I like taking my time reading da newspaper at night.
As a farmer, I'll take my time in the mornings to...
Huh?
Whaa! Whaa!
What is it?
Whaa!
What's the matter?
Whaa! Whaa! Whaa! Whaa!
He's every bit like a duck, isn't he? I wonder what's written there?
Welcome.
Um, excuse me, but is there a Yatabe Mineko-san here?
Mineko.
Me?
Ah, I'm sorry.
The landlady at the apartment complex said you'd be here.
Ah, you have a telegram.
For me?
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Muneo-san...
What is it? What's the matter?
Huh?
