Hi, Midori's Mother

Hello

Midori

It's my mother!

- Bye, Miss Kuroki -Goodbye

- Excuse us. -Bye

See you.

Oh, hello.

- Hi there. -Hi

My wife is at work.

Mother works hard!

Such a good boy.

I did the squiddy dance with Yui.

You did? With Yui?

- Were you good? -Yes.

Tonight's dinner is Hamburg steak.

Yay!

I'm home!

Midori.

You dance wonderfully.

Perhaps you can take ballet.

Toko

Yes.

When may I use the kitchen?

Yes, right away.

Oh, no rush. Tell me when you are done.

Yes.

Welcome back.

What a day.

Long day.

Shin, I made you Hamburg steak.

I'm full, actually. I see.

Hi, Mother Hello

Shin I prepared simmered fish.

Really? I'll have some.

Shall I warm up?

How thoughtful.

- Let me. -Thank you.

Oh, Shin.

Your father will return for a few days next month.

I'll be in Beijing next month for work.

How busy a trading company employee is

True.

I almost forgot. Toko?

There's a mall development get-together this weekend.

Your lace dress would be perfect.

Isn't it a bit too cutesy?

I like it.

To your hard work.

- Ah, you kindly added sliced ginger! - Looks delicious.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

It's good.

You've always loved fish so.

You adored splendid alfonsino as a boy.

- I did? - You did.

Don't you remember?

That was good, Toko.

Thanks.

I want us to take a trip together.

Maybe after Midori enters grade school

Is it okay?

Sounds nice.

The heavy snowfall

has stopped all forms of travel within Niigata Prefecture.

Due to the snow, the Hokuriku Shinkansen is..

Expressways in Niigata are

closed to both lanes.

Highway 17 in Niigata has been closed.

Road reopenings are unknown as of now

Information we have at this time is..

Today's railways and airplanes will be....

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

I'm frightened.

Of what?

That we'll be trapped like this forever.

Keep it on.

I read your book, Mr. Ichikawa.

It was my good luck to encounter you book.

You flatter me.

How to say...

It paved the correct path for my work.

Not only for myself..

It has good pointers for housewives too.

Such kind words.

This is Toko, right?

May I borrow your husband for a moment?

Excuse me.

Such a well-tempered wife.

Forgive her inability with words.

Mrs. Muranushi...

from you husband.

Thank you.

My husband's calling me...

Please, join us.

Excuse me.

Kurata?

It's been years.

The architecture business is small. Everyone's connected.

Surprised?

I closed my architectural firm.

It was too much trouble.

I'm designing at a friend's firm now.

It's a new car, no?

It's been ten years, after all.

Ten years...

Like a distant past.

Do you remember that sketch?

The one I did in college?

That's right.

You dream room sketch.

What's so funny?

Sorry.

Your lines were so crappy.

Do you remember it?

I do remember that day.

It was the day I met you.

You stopped drawing?

Yes, I gave it up.

I have a daughter.

How old is she?

Six years old.

I bet she's pretty.

And your husband?

He's a kind man.

He's devoted to our daughter.

I wanted to continue working.

But I'm fortunate. I'm very happy now.

You're still the same.

It's sweltering outside.

It really is. Let's go inside.

- We're home! - Hi.

- Mama, I'm thirsty. - Really?

I'm perspiring so much.

Japan has become a tropical country.

Mama, apple juice.

There's a letter for you.

For me?

It's rare, no?

Thank you.

I'll get changed.

You are Ms. Toko Muranushi.

Age 32.. spatial designer...

Looking at your job history...

I see a big gap in your career.

I worked until I got married and then I gave birth.

I see. I got it.

Kurata, can you take a look?

Toko, eat the tofu.

Their beef is incredible.

I've wanted to take you here.

Thank you for giving me such a nice meal.

It's our anniversary and thanks for attending the party.

Everyone loved your dress.

Want my garland?

Umm.

Shin.

Look..when Midori enters school next year,

I am thinking to work again.

What?

What what?

You don't have to work, right?

Have to?

Don't you remember?

Remember what?

I said, "I want to keep working after marriage."

You said, "Of course"

With no suitable nursery schools available, it wasn't an option.

All right. Why not give a try?

Really?

Umm... Go for it.

Thank you.

I'll consult with Mother about it.

Sorry, but I have to go back to work after this because of early morning schedule.

Yes?

Congratulations.

Our company decided to hire you.

Isn't that great?

Kurata, you're the worst.

You're a terrible guy who knows me too well.

Can't wait.

I'm sure everyone will just love you.

For the ceiling finishing material, we want teak.

That was the original idea.

It won't fit the budget.

What's that, Kodaka?

Here he comes.

He's coming.. Every time, always...

It won't fit.

Am I right?

You're a cold hearted dude.

Maybe we can manage it.

It's possible to cut down expenses on this side here.

How about showing the beams?

A skeleton structure?

Yes.

This will meet the client's request to feel the warmth of wood.

And how about indirect illumination?

Great idea.

Good.

Are you the new girl?
