Mother Never Dies Page #3

---

but you have to make an effort.

That's my only regret.

No doubt.

This note might actually cheer you up.

The chief was very impressed.

He said, someone taking care

so well of his wife must be good.

He said that he'd like you not to give up,

and to give it a little more.

Actually, you own that to your wife's spirit.

You have a child to take care of,

so you have a lot of responsibility.

If there's anything I can do, just let me know.

Thank you.

I appreciate your kind words.

Well. I'm going to take this

to the station chief.

Please, forgive me

for suddenly leaving you like this.

When I think about how hard

it was for you,

and how the end must have hurt you,

I'm filled with terrible regret.

However, there's little chance

that anyone can save me.

No matter how much you try

to hide the truth and encourage me,

I know best what my body

is telling me.

If it had been just you and me,

I might have let you care for me

for the rest of my life.

But we have Shgo,

and when I consider Shgo, as a mother,

when I think of asking you to care of me

despite my incurable illness,

and you were sacrifying your career for me.

Not only would I have made you miserable,

but I would have ended up hurting Shgo.

Please, make Shgo into a fine Japanese man.

I have great faith that

he can become important.

I pray that you can forget

these terrible events

and live out your years on Earth

with strength.

Finally, thank you for treating me

so well for such a long time.

I will try to take some of the happiness

I found with you

along with me on my journey.

Welcome back.

Sorry to give you trouble.

- What did the police want?

- Nothing serious, right?

Nothing, just a few questions

to understand the details.

In fact, they were even encouraging.

That's good.

You must be tired.

You should have a rest.

We've informed the temple.

This is a strange request but...

Shgo is now at the summer camp.

I like you to understand that,

as this event will be a shock for him.

I prefer not to tell him for the moment.

I understand.

That would be all right with everyone.

Do your best

and put your wife's spirit at ease.

That's our request.

Don't worry, Sadayo.

I'll take care of Shgo.

Sugai-san,

why don't you take a break?

Horumarin 100

There are all kinds of water:

for example, pure water

natural water,

drinking water,

distalled water,

and tap water.

All of these contain

trace of dissolved solids.

And according to the type

and amounts

of these dissolved solids,

we distinguish between...

hard water and soft water.

Father,

can I go get some notes from my friend?

There's something I don't understand.

Which friend?

One who lives near Oji station.

Well, come back home right after.

Students shouldn't be out late.

I'm going.

Come home quickly.

Shgo, where are you going?

Somewhere...

Organic Chemistry

- Shgo, it's been a long time.

- What a surprise!

- Why this outfit?

- It's my school uniform.

- Where are you going to school?

- Toyo Technical.

- What about you?

- Seishin.

You know, we moved into

our new place.

It's in Hongo.

You go to Takaramachi and you just ask

for Kanemura Printing.

Please, come and visit us.

- Your father started a printing business?

- Yes, he did.

Actually, I'm out for him right now.

- Where are you going?

- That way.

- Well, I'll see you soon right? Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

You need to go out

from time to time.

I'm too busy.

What are you going to achieve

by working all the time?

I told you. There many fine women

out there.

Not that talk again!

I know how you feel about

your wife, but...

I appreciate your concern,

but I don't want another wife.

You have to think about Shgo.

Everyday you come home late.

He sits here by himself and plays his harmonica.

He seems so lonely.

Why are you so happy about, today?

Something good happened?

As of tomorrow,

I'm going to be a mechanic.

Oh, so you got a promotion?

- That's great!

- We have to celebrate Sugai's promotion!

Leave it to me.

We'll get 30 or 40 geisha.

Sounds like a good idea!

Hey, bring another bottle!

Are you all right drinking that much?

After you don't know how to go home.

There's been a promotion.

We're celebrating.

Arakawa-san got promoted?

You said when you got promoted,

you'd buy me a handbag.

It wasn't me who got the promotion.

Well, never mind then.

This is absurd.

Sorry, I didn't get a promotion.

I guess I'm not going to get one.

You don't have to shout.

Don't I deserve to get promoted?

Shut up and listen. I'm hungry.

Let's go get something to eat.

Sugai-san, come with us.

I'm older than you.

I think I'm going.

Come on, come with us!

Let's go together!

Listen, let's do some other time.

As you wish. Let's go!

Miss, how much was it?

- 6 yen 20 sen. Thank you.

- 6 yen 20 sen.

Are you going to pay for them?

That's not very nice from them.

You should have gotten them to chip in.

I got a promotion.

We were celebrating.

I see.

Thank you very much.

Keep the change.

Ah well, what can you do?

What can you do?

She's nice isn't she?

Welcome back.

- Is he a friend from school?

- This is Omiya.

Nice meeting you.

Shgo, you hid something.

Show it to me!

Go back home. It's late and

your family might be worried.

Take it out.

Hurry! give it to me.

Stupid

What's the matter with you?

Playing with things like that?

Do you think you can become important?

Dear, what should I do?

Shgo is not becoming what I'd like

He seems to have a lot of bad friends.

What should I do?

Anyway,

That's how I see things

That's it !

I have to put him him

in a new quiet school.

That's it. Let's do it this way.

And on Sundays, I should go somewhere

and do something fun with him.

Father, is it far from here?

We're almost there.

- Are you tired?

- Yes.

- We'll go back by train, right?

- Yes.

Here use this

Matsukage Shrine

Variety Store

What is it today?

We're going to play ball

He's a boy after all,

and he likes sports.

Are you sure you can do it

No problem. I can throw a ball around.

Let's go.

See you later

Sugai-san sure takes care of his son.

Every Sunday he takes his boy

somewhere special.

Sorry, sorry.

There's a rumour going around

that you've been researching.

Do you know what boys like to do?

How old is he?

he is 14.

Well, I don't know. I don't play

with my boy that often.

School ends at 14:00.

I study during the day and can

play in the evening.

You're lucky. We run a shop,

so we're up to midnight.

It must be hard to study

when you're sleepy.

Oh, I don't study,

but I do read books during the day.

What kind of books?

Stuff about ghosts.

Don't you have any good books?

Can you bring some?

I do. I'll lend them to you.

- Really?

- Of course.

How to do it?

Should I go to your place?

Just ask of me.

My name is Mie.

I can't do that.

I'll just leave the books.

All right, but don't forget!

Father.

I said to Aihara I'd lend him a book.

Can I go?
