It's frightening, all the delinquents running around these days.

DERBY WORLD

NAKAYAMA RACES BEGIN TODAY

Care for some soba?

I need to rush home.

Yoshio had a headache this morning, and I'm worried.

I think he's caught a cold.

LONG LIFE APARTMENTS

LONG LIFE APARTMENTS

Is Yoshio at school?

He said he had a headache, but apparently nothing serious.

Terugiku, will you pull out this gray hair?

Oh my, you still have a lot more.

I really am getting old.

No, Kikue, you're still young.

Shouldn't Yoshio be getting home soon?

Is this where Yoshio lives?

Has something happened?

He hasn't come to school in a long time,

so the teacher sent me to inquire.

He hasn't?

He hasn't felt well, but he should be back to school soon.

What could have happened?

He's really changed recently.

I know Yoshio really hates my working as a geisha.

But if I quit now,

I won't be able to give him a proper education.

I have to keep going at least until he graduates.

He hardly even talks to me these days.

You're the only one he's close to - like a sister.

If you have a chance, please tell him how worried I am.

Well, I'm off to the hairdresser's.

Kikue's not here yet?

Any minute now.

I've put up with that client because he's her patron,

but he's such a dirty old man.

Let's you and me go to the hot springs together.

I'm afraid of how Kikue would feel.

Who cares about that old crone?

Shouldn't you be at Mr. Yoshikawa's party?

I'm really sorry.

I don't mind.

If you have time,

would you go to my room and see if Yoshio's back?

Can we have a word?

Uh-oh!

Yoshio!

You've fallen in with a bad crowd, haven't you?

I hear you haven't been going to school.

Don't you know how worried your mother is?

I'm worried too...

You don't dislike me, do you?

Then won't you please go back to being your old self?

THE NEXT MORNING...

You drink now?

Yoshio!

Why shouldn't I drink? Look who I have for a mother.

Why are you always so hard on me?

Do you think what I'm doing is that bad?

You don't know how hard it's been trying to give you a good upbringing.

If you hate me that much, just kill me or do whatever you will.

Skipping school again today?

Why don't you come visit my family with me?

I have something to tell them.

Come on. It's a nice place near the sea.

Let's go. I'll tell your mother.

Are you embarrassed sitting next to me?

I wonder who these people take us for.

Brother and sister? Sweethearts?

I'm sure they think we're brother and sister.

I really wish I had a brother like you.

I have a younger sister and brother.

But they're both too young to listen to my troubles.

You have that many troubles?

I'll do whatever I can to help.

Thank you.

Hey Sis!

Was that Father's sake?

I'll give you some money. Go buy another bottle.

Sis!
