not having rice to give them.

It's great, huh?

Real white rice!

More!

Yes, yes.

You're just gobbling it down

tonight, aren't you, Setsuko?

It's good!

What's wrong?

I don't want rice porridge!

Don't we have

any more pickled plums?

We finished those off ages ago.

Here's your lunch.

- Thanks. I'd better get going.

- See you.

- Bye.

- Take care.

We'll have rice balls for lunch.

Just hold on 'til then.

Stop that!

You'll have it for lunch too!

You think

a lazy slug like you deserves...

the same as people

who work for our nation?!

Seita, you're old enough to know

everyone has to cooperate.

You keep saying you want rice,

but do you earn it?

No, you absolutely do not!

I even give you some rice,

and you still complain!

But it's our rice.

Oh, so now

I'm cheating you, am I?

How dare you say that!

After I take you two in!

Fine!

We'll just make our

OWN dinners from now on!

Seita, you have other relatives

in Tokyo, don't you?

On your mother's side of the family?

Why not write to them?

WE could be bombed any day!

Problem is,

I don't know their address.

Let's go home.

Uh-huh. Papa's waiting for us.

Frogs are singing,

it's time to go home

Sorry you had to wait so long.

What's wrong?

I'm hungry.

And I'm thirsty too.

Okay.

Here, have a fruit drop.

Mom has 7000 yen in the bank.

so don't worry.

I'm telling Dad to write back soon,

because you're waiting.

You're in luck.

You can't buy a stove

like this easily nowadays.

It's almost impossible to find

any hardware to sell.

I'll take that comb, and...

Do you have an umbrella?

An umbrella... Oh, yes!

It's raining, it's raining

Big brother's coming home

with an umbrella just for me

Drip-drop, plip-plop

Down the rain comes!

That's got it!

Be careful with that fire.

Right.

What are they up to?

They're doing their own cooking.

Good for them!

More, please.

Mother,

did you scold them again?

Yes, but they refuse to apologize.

And that boy even bought a stove.

Just to spite me!

Finished!

Bad manners, Seita.

Doesn't matter.

We can sit any way we want.

Rice for two.

That's it?

Next ration will be in July.

Let me!

Like it?

It's all different tastes!

Grape, strawberry, melon, mint.

All in there. Drink it all.

All gone.

Great.

Left the dishes for me to do.

So selfish.

Honestly!

Those brats are two of the worst!

Not again!

Mama!

Seita, my daughter and

that man work for our nation!

We can't have her crying

keeping them awake.

We've enough trouble

getting sleep with the air raids!

Report from

Central Military Division.

Several waves of

enemy bombers are approaching.

Going to the shelter again, Seita?

You're old enough to
