- You still believe that?

- Of course!

Never mind. Let's go down.

- Shall I take this through, Sister?

- Yes, do.

- And this?

- Just leave it out.

It's a little cooler now.

- It must be hot in Onomichi.

- It is indeed.

Mother, how is O-Ko?

She must've been born

under an unlucky star.

When she was widowed,

she married again last spring...

...and took her child with her

to Kurashiki.

But I hear the poor woman's

not very happy.

Really?

What was the name of that fellow

on the council staff?

Oh, Mihashi, you mean?

He passed away.

- Quite some time ago, wasn't it?

- That's right.

Do you remember Hattori?

In the military section?

I remember him.

- He's living in Tokyo now.

- Is that right?

- I intend to go round and visit him.

- Where is he?

Somewhere in the Daito district.

I have his address.

Right...

Have you tidied everything up?

Thanks so much.

Noriko, here's your present

from Keizo.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

- Oh, sorry, Grandma...

- Not at all, Fumiko, not at all.

You're going out tomorrow, aren't you?

It's Sunday,

so I can show them around.

- Right. Shall we be off then, Noriko?

- Let's leave together.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you for coming.

- Thanks for dinner, Brother.

- Sorry it's so late.

- I'll see you soon, Father.

- Thanks.

- Thanks.

We'll be fine, Fumiko.

- Thanks for having us so late.

- Thank you for supper.

Thank you for coming.

You must be tired, Father.

Do you want to go to bed, Mother?

Shall we retire, then?

- Night, then.

- Goodnight.

- Night.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Night.

I'll bring you some water.

- You must be tired.

- Not really.

I'm glad they're all well.

We're here at last.

What part of Tokyo is this?

- The suburbs.

- I guess so.

It was a long ride from the station.

I thought they'd live

somewhere more central.

- Than here?

- Yes.

Koichi did want to move more centrally.

But it's not easy.

Urara Beauty Salon.

How long are your mother

and father staying?

Four or five days. Pass me that.

- Shouldn't I call round to see them?

- Don't bother. They'll come here.

I should take them to a show

or something.

You needn't bother

worrying about them.

They're delicious, these beans.

What are their plans for today?

Don't eat all those beans.

My brother's taking them sightseeing.

So I needn't bother, then.

Kiyo, come and get some food.

Behave yourselves today

when you're with grandpa and grandma.

- You hear me?

- Yes.

Sit down.

- How much longer?

- They'll be ready soon.

Go upstairs and

ask if they're ready to go.

- Are you ready?

- Ready.

- Sorry to keep you waiting.

- Let's go, then.

They're coming.

What about lunch?
