I have to make up for lost time because of the war.

Stop it already.

He won't quit painting even after he collapsed?

-I'll go with you too. - Please don't come.

I'm worried about Katsuko and Taka too.

If you go, you'll end up fighting with Tadahiko-san.

Well, he's in the wrong. Acting like an artist and being selfish.

See? That's what I mean. I'll go my myself.

Oh, for crying out loud!

- Then I'll see you later. - Okay.

I may be a little late.

That's fine. I really wish I could go with you.

You have work to do, Manpei-san.

- Leave Tadahiko-san's matter to me. - Okay, be careful.

- See you later. - Okay.

Oh, you scared me!

I wanted to go too.

The guys said they're going to Namba since it's the weekend, so

Mother, you can take it easy too.

But I'll still have to make lunch, don't I?

How long is this going to last?

I'm sorry.

President. We'd like to talk to you about Sera-san.

Sera-san?

What's wrong?

I saw Sera-san at the black market in Namba.

That day Oka-san got into a fight.

- But I can't drink. - It's okay. - The food's good too.

I can't sell it to you for that kind of price.

- That's a rip-off. - Sera-san?

So what?

Sera-san is the president of a trading company, right?

I just wondered if someone like that does business at the black market.

Did Sera-san really deliver our salt to the Monopoly Bureau?

- What do you mean by that? - Like could he have sold it on the black market?

- What? - No way.

He gave us the money for it. For 20 straw bags.

Perhaps he sold it to a black marketeer for a higher price, and only gave you the legitimate amount.

Is Sera-san someone you can trust?

Don't talk bad about my friend!

- It's done. - Oh, it's all shiny now.

Here.

- All this?! - Go home and make your ma happy.

- Thanks, mister. - Bro, not mister.

Tachibana Salt Company... Ah yes, 4 days ago, right?

We bought 8 straw bags.

- 8 bags? Are you sure it wasn't 20?! - What?

No. We made a payment of 1,600 yen for 8 bags.

Excuse me.

Yes?

- Fuku-chan. - How have you been, Shinichi-san?

Shinichi-san, isn't it inconvenient living by yourself?

I'm used to it now.

What about work? Are you busy at the office?

It was hectic for a while after the war, but

things have settled down a bit.

So what brings you here today?

Have you heard about Tadahiko-san from Katsuko Nee-chan?

Tadahiko-kun?

Thanks.

Why did you have to drag Shinichi-san over too...

Are you painting without eating everyday, Tadahiko-kun?

Without eating... I just want to make the most of my time.

Tadahiko-san hasn't rested for days now.

Is that how painters... how artists all are?

Yes.

Manpei-kun is the kind of man who immerses himself in work too. Will you stop him too, Fuku-chan?

He wants to make quality product at all cost. But a president can't just do that.

If you don't do something about it, Fuku-chan, the business will fail.

When Manpei-san starts thinking about work, he forgets to eat too.

To him, that's happiness.

- Fukuko. - Auntie Fukuko.

But I don't want Manpei-san to work at the expense of ruining his health.

Even if he's happy, I believe his family has the right to worry about him.

That's right. It may be good for you that

you're filled with creative desire and can immerse yourself in painting, but

when you get right down to it, you're being supported by Katsuko-san and Taka-chan.

Tadahiko-san.

Take a look at your face.

Please take a look.

Do you think Taka-chan can remain calm

seeing her father looking like that everyday?

Katsuko-san must be worried sick too.

I'm so worried I can't sleep at nights.

Worried that you might be lying unconscious in the studio.

Even so, does the wife of a painter have to live like that?

The daughter of a painter too?

I don't want to. I want you to paint more nice pictures, but

at this rate, you're going to get sick.

If you should get sick and die...

Tadahiko-san,

Are we making an unreasonable request?

We should've just gone to Namba too, Morimoto-san.

There's a lot of other good shops too.

We didn't have to come all the way here.

There's a good shop somewhere around here.

Madam...!

I hope Tadahiko-san realizes now.

People who aspire to be painters

probably aren't bound to convention to start out with.

But if you hadn't come along with me, he probably wouldn't even have listened to me.

What are you doing everyday, Shinichi-san?

I stop by the bathhouse on the way home from work, eat the dinner I cook myself, and go to bed.

- Aren't you going to get married? - What?

It's okay for you to forget about Saki Nee-chan now.

Well... I'll get married when I forget about her.

- Who's that guy? - I don't know...

Katsuko.

Will you make me some ochazuke ?

I got hungry all of a sudden.

I feel as if I came to my senses.

Dear...

I'm sorry for making you worry.

Fuku-chan and Shinichi-san were absolutely right.

You're going back to being Tadahiko-san again, aren't you?

I already am.

I'm so glad...

I knew in my mind that I shouldn't get in your way.

- But... - It's all right now.

I'm going to be a good husband, and a good father,

and a good painter.

Perhaps he sold it to a black marketeer for a higher price, and only gave you the legitimate amount.

We're back.

You went to Namba, didn't you? You're back awfully early.

- Where's Madam? - She's not back yet.

What's wrong? If something's bothering you, say it.

We saw her walking with a man.

- Who was? - Madam.

What?

- Oh, were you still up? - Yeah, you're late.

- I told you I was going to be late. - Oh, I guess you did.

Who were you...

Hello.

Katsuko Nee-chan.

Tadahiko-san said...

he's sorry for making me worry.

He said he's going back to being the old Tadahiko-san.

Thank you, Fukuko.

- Thanks. - I'm so happy for you, Katsuko Nee-chan.

Then Taka-chan too...

Tell her we'll be waiting for her.

Taka-chan will be coming again from next week.

- Is that so. - I'm so relieved~.

Did you want to talk about something?

No... it's nothing.

I'm going to bed then. Gotta wake up early tomorrow.

- Good night. - Good night.
