Mare (まれ)

Serial TV Story

Making salt...

...is in consultation with the sun and the wind. There's no mass producing it.

We can deal with that by bringing in machines.

Why do you do that, Dad?

Why do you only think about trying to make money the easy way?

Because I want us to live big!

I hate big dreams! I hate you, Dad!

Thanks for the meal.

You left food behind.

You can eat it.

You called for me?

Guest, be sure to vacate yer room, okay?

Fumi-san, couldn't you let us stay just a little longer?

I'm looking for a home right now. Just 2 or 3 weeks. No, 10 days!

We've asked to stay just a little longer, but...

Kuramoto Ichiko

Imposter.

I'm sorry.

Ichiko-chan longs ta go ta Tokyo.

So she's a bit funny when it comes ta anything Tokyo.

Teraoka Minori

You're all in 5th grade?

Yeah!

Da one on the right is Yo-chan. His family are fishermen.

Last year he was runner-up among the children in sumo wrestling.

Kado Yoichiro

Next to him is Takashi. He's always the inconspicuous one.

Futaki Takashi

Over dere's Keita. He'd da best at fishin'.

Right now he's after rockfish and parrot fish. In Fall, it'll be abalone, right Keita?

Huh? Yeah.

Kontani Keita

You're good friends, aren't you?

We've been together ever since we were born...

...and in the same class ever since kindergarten.

We all stay over at each other's homes just like we were family.

Minori! I think ya've got one over here!

All right! So long.

"How could I join them now at this late hour?"

Mare had become forelorn.

Even so, more than about herself...

...what was important was getting her family accepted by the people of Noto.

Delicious!

What is this?

A vinegared dish of rock mozoku.

Guest, was it to your taste?

Yes!

This and this, too... It's ALL delicious!

That's true, Mare. Especially this... This, um... whatever it is....

Thanks for the meal!

I'll clean this up!

Ah... It's great the mood has cleared!

She ignored you, Dad.

Even though she's no good with vinegared foods.

She understands the taste of foods, doesn't she?

Eh?

Ya don't have ta do such things.

Still, just this much.

Um... I'm sorry about yesterday.

Huh?

The strange things Dad was saying.

Yer "Mare," huh...

I'm "Mare."

"Mare"? What's da kanji character used fer yer name, "Mare"?

The character for "Hope."

The kanji character for "Mare" has the meaning of a "rare, wished-for thing."

That is, namely, a dream.

Having a big dream is necessary in life.

Mare. You have an unusual but great name, don't you?

Please, somehow... bring us that rare, good fortune!

Hey...

Mare-chan!

Mare-chan, try touching this for me.

You don't have to touch it.

Hope and dreams, huh? It's a great name.

I don't care for it much, though.

Don't ya have a dream?

I don't.

She did have a dream long ago.

Happy Birthday to you!

6 Years Ago

Actually, August 10th is both Mare and Toru's birthday.
