That's around Tennoji.

Tennoji...

That's scary...

A month had passed since Fuku-chan, Manpei-san, and Suzu-san

evacuated to a place near Kamigori.

Make sure you salt the stems too.

Okay.

- Is there anything I can do to help? - No there isn't.

We're almost done with this.

- Is there anything else? - Manpei-san, you just take it easy.

You have this opportunity to take it easy in the countryside.

You should work on getting healthy while you're here.

- So that you can make babies. - Mom.

We really don't need any help. Just take it easy and go lie down.

I'm not an invalid, you know.

You don't have to lie down, but just take it easy.

I'll go take a walk.

- Manpei-san. - Like I said...

I can't just sit still.

Why can't he listen to the head of the family?

Manpei-san's the head of the family, isn't he?

- I am. - It's Manpei-san.

- I am. - No...It's Manpei-san!

What's this insect?

"Katsuko Nee-chan. How have you been?"

"How are the children doing?"

"We are gradually getting used to our life here."

"The people of Kamigori are very kind and

they share vegetables and rice with us."

"It's easier to get food here than in Osaka."

- It went that way. - It got away.

There's another one!

What kinds of fish are there?

What can you catch?

- Fish like char. - And red-spotted masu trout.

Who are you, Mister?

I came here to evacuate from Osaka.

- Osaka? - I know where that is.

- Is Osaka big? - Yeah, it's a big city.

- Are there lots of people? - There's people all over.

Why did you come here, Mister?

It's dangerous in Osaka.

American planes may come flying over you and drop bombs.

- Bombs? - Yeah.

There's one there!

- That's char. - Ah.

Over there. Over there too! Oh, over there too!

- See how many there are? - Yeah.

Ah, yes. This is great.

There it goes.

Let's see.

Right there.

- Let's see! - Got one.

It's a char!

I can't believe we only caught one when there's so many swimming around.

- That's why it's hard to catch them. - It's not as easy as you think.

Let's try one more time.

No, wait a minute.

This is way too inefficient.

I have an idea.

What kind of idea?

I'll be here again tomorrow, so you guys come too. Okay?

" Toshi-chan. How are you?"

Will this be enough?

What are you doing, Manpei-san?

The electrical wire that I used to run electricity to the house.

I'm going to catch fish with this.

Fish?

That river has lots of fish like char and red-eyed masu trout.

- How are you going to catch them? - Just wait and see.

Wait and see?

Your husband just can't stay still, can he?

I can't believe a grown man's trying to catch fish in a river.

But he looks livelier than when we were in Osaka.

His complexion's improving too.

Then hurry up and let me see my grandchild.

I wish you'd stop talking about that, Mom.

He may get a draft notice again. This time for sure...

- Hurry before that happens. - Mom.

I know that you're not too fond of Manpei-san, but

to me, he's my beloved husband.

No one can replace Manpei-san.

Manpei-san's trying his best to please you so,

please try to be nicer to him.

Excuse me, but I'm not treating him coldly.

The best thing is for all of us to get along.

Isn't that right?

Hey, make sure you don't touch that electrical wire.

What are you gonna do with this, Mister?

Ah. We're going to run electricity into this river.

- Electricity? - Yeah.

Stay away. It's dangerous.

Okay, let's give it a try.

Mister?

Look!

Don't come, don't come. You guys will get electrocuted too.

You can come now.

Wow! Can we take all this?

- Sure, go ahead. - You're awesome, Mister.

- We can eat a lot. - There's sure a lot.

It's a big catch.

- What's all this? - So many fishes...

Mister Manpei's amazing.

- We caught 10 and 20 at once. - At once?

We ran electricity into the river.

- Electricity? - I got a lot too!

- Me too! - Me too!

- I've never seen anything like that. - That was fun, huh?

- You can be a fisherman, Mister Manpei. - A fisherman, huh?

Are you going to make them all dried fish?

Not the ones we're going to eat today.

All this fish will go bad if they don't get dried.

Oh...

It's not like you're a child. Why did you catch so many at once?

Just let it go, Mom.

We should be grateful that we have a lot to eat.

When I thought this fish was edible, I got all excited.

There's no need to be so greedy.

I have a strong obsession with eating.

That time when I was captured by the military police,

I turned into a pig.

Once people stop eating, it's all over.

I really feel like a fishmonger.

- This is fun. - There's nothing fun about it.

In the first place, I don't like freshwater fish.

This is delicious.

It really is.

This is good with salt, but

it's excellent with soy sauce too, Mother.

- Pass me the soy sauce, please. - Here you go.

Who was the one who didn't like freshwater fish?

- I like freshwater fish if it's fresh. - I'm glad.

- Oh, it's good with miso too, Manpei-san. - Really? Let me try that too.

- Anyone home~? - Who is that?

- Anyone home~? - Coming.

It really is good.

You cause trouble for us when you do things like that.

How can you run electricity into the river to catch fish.

We're terribly sorry.

Are we not supposed to catch fish from that river?

- Excuse me? - Manpei-san.

- That's not what we're saying. - Then what's the problem?

You can't run electricity into the river.

But that's the most efficient method.

They said that's not what they're talking about.

What are you going to do if the children get electrocuted?

I take proper precaution with that. I make sure they stay away.

Besides, you know it's illegal to pull power from the electric pole.

- Is that why I can't do it? - Of course you can't do it.

- We're terribly sorry. - Fukuko.

I won't let him do that ever again. Manpei-san, you apologize too.

Please let it slide.

I'm not apologizing. I have no reason to.

You understand the reason, don't you? Just use your common sense.

- Mother. - In any event, running electricity into the river is not good.

You were eating it too saying how good it was.

This and that's a different matter.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Outsiders can't come in and do whatever they please. Isn't that what you're saying?

- Well... - It's something like that.

We're really sorry.

- We're terribly sorry. - Oh?

Manpei-san.

- I'm sor... - Where are you getting the electricity from?

Where are you running it from?

What are we supposed to do without electricity?

That's not what we're talking about.

- Can't you let us slide on that matter? - Don't you have electricity at your house?

We do.

Then please let this one slide.

Let it slide?

We'll pay for the electricity.

That's not the point.

- Can't you just let that go already? - That's right.

- Stop harping on petty things. - Petty things?

I am the daughter of a samurai.

Can't you at least let us keep that?

We'll pay for the electricity. Please.

Please...

"PS. Mom says she doesn't like Manpei-san one minute,

and then she's chummy with him the next."

"Manpei-san, too, tries to please her one minute

and suddenly becomes obstinate the next. Caught between them, I'm going crazy everyday."

But it sure sounds like fun.

Oh...they're pretty.
