Mother Never Dies Page #4

---

Who's Aihara?

He's the class president. He's really capable.

Of what?

Studying!

You can do that later.

We have to go to Kudo's place.

Leave it here. On the way back,

we'll go to Shiruko Park.

Let's go.

Come on. Leave that here.

I heard that you moved.

I did. It was too noisy at our old place.

Where did you move to?

To Shimura.

That's tough.

Well, it's really noisy in the city.

You're late

Yes... you felt lonely?

No.. not at all.

Shgo, I made a great invention.

Invention?

Well, it's not perfect yet,

look at this.

What is it?

Well... What I've done is...

I dropped a glove into

a can of carbolic acid.

Carbolic acid is what you use

to make Bakelite

And then, I put it on top of a machine

and forgot about it.

It got really hard.

Then I heated it up and put it

under a press.

It looked like this when it came out.

What can you make with this?

I don't know yet.

This isn't much, but it's hard.

There must be something

you could make with this.

That's great.

It is.

Shall we eat?

You were late.

I already had dinner.

Today it's very good.

Mother liked this stuff, didn't she?

She did, yes.

Today is the anniversary of her death.

You're right. I completely forgot.

Thank you.

You gave me the idea, right?

Shgo, I'm going to work really hard.

- I want you to study hard, ok?

- Yes.

What's the matter, Father?

Are you tired?

Father?

I don't think I came make this invention.

I've got too much to do.

Make Shgo an important person...

You are still here? Get some rest,

or you're ruin your health.

This is it. This will do.

Did you come up with something?

I owe it to you. I really do.

Are you done with your invention?

Worker discover a new technique

for Bakelite:
Sugai Lite

So what do you think?

Will you give us the patent?

As he says, it's your invention.

but it takes capital to make money

off a patent.

So why don't you let us use the patent,

and we'll sell Sugai Lite to the world?

If you're not satisfied, just let me know.

The company could pay a little more.

What do you think?

Just tell us what you want.

Come on! Just tell us.

Just a moment.

From what you've been saying,

you assume that I did all this for money.

That's wasn't my intention at all.

I feel that if I have the privilege of working here

at this factory.

Please, use my patent,

if it's useful to you.

But even so

That's why I've been asking you

what you want.

No, please, I don't want anything for it.

But even so-

Really, I don't want anything.

Use this invention as you please.

This invention was a result of an accident.

Or maybe I was guided by a spirit,

as they say.

Even, if i dare say, the spirit of my wife.

I feel embarassed of such an unearthly explanation.

I have the feeling that it was my wife's spirit

that guided me to the invention.

I'm a little embarassed

to make such a strange explanation.

I've been searching for something

I can do for her.

It's my belief that if I can enjoy this work,

I'm working to placate my wife's spirit.

That's why I really

don't want any money for this.

Is that right?

Now I understand.

It was wrong of me to try to reward

your beautiful spirit with money.

I'm sorry about that.

Not at all.

However, even so,

if it's not for you, why don't you

build a memorial?

What do you think?

You dedicate your work

to your wife's spirit.

Take it. He's been so kind to you,

Here use this to build a memorial

This sure is a lot of money

- Here. Take it.

- Well....

So? Take it.

Can you make it out of one stone?

Yes, that's fine.

Wouldn't it be better to use the same stone

for both the grave and the fence?

This one stands up

to sun and weather best.

Do what you think is best.

Thank you.

After the grave is done,

shouldn't we go on a trip?

You've never been on a long train trip,

have you?

Where shall we go?

How about Nikk?

- Good. Can we also go to Chzenji?

- Sure.

So Nikk it'll be, then.

I've got a little money now.

You know, I've been here once before.

- When?

- Before you were born. Long time ago.

With your mum.

- It was our honeymoon.

- Honeymoon?

I told your mother that when I became

an important person,

I'd put up a cottage here.

Then when I'll become someone,

I'll do it.

That's great.

What are you going to be?

When I'll grew up, I'll join a company.

And I'll be a technician.

Technicians are great, right?

That's not enough.

You must have bigger dreams than that.

But...

You seem a little timid.

After high school, you'll go to Technical University,

you'll get technician degree right away,

then superior technician, engineer.

Then maybe you can get a doctorate!

With hard work you can go anywhere.

Then I'll work hard.

Still a cottage wouldn't be

any fun without Mother around.

Yes. Mother is probably smiling

on you from afar.

Right.

- You have to become somebody!

- Yes.

6 years later

These atoms which emit radiation

are called radioactive atoms.

Now, for an atom

to emit radiation means

that the atom is naturally

disintegrating and...

Hey, Sugai!

Your father invented Sugai Lite,

didn't he?

- That's really something

- That's no big deal.

Research Institute

Director Office

Yes, twelve or thirteen people.

A big room with a good view would be best.

You have one? Hey, they have one.

They do? Then get some geisha.

So then we can have some one

to attend on us?

Nobuen, Haru, Komaki, Kiyoko.

How about Kiyoko?

- Hey, you can go home now.

- Thank you.

Make it Kiyoko,

and I'll leave the rest to you.

Six o'clock then?

Amano is just asking for the things

that he wants.

I think it's less a party for Sugai

than something to entertain you guys.

Right, Sugai-san?

That's right. You'll have good time

I'll have to leave early, anyway.

- You can't do that, it's your party.

- Of course I can

Actually, there's a little event

at my place tonight.

Moreover, it'd be more fun for you,

if I went home early.

Will have you some more?

- This is Nikk, isn't it?

- Yes.

My father and I went six

or seven years ago.

No, it's older than that.

Your late mother looks very young.

Ah, then it was their honeymoon.

Your mother was really pretty.

Yes, she certainly was

Will have you some more?

Maya! We're out of sake!

It's enough for me.

- I don't need anymore.

- Really, we are fine.

It's my Father's orders to make sure

you have enough sake,

Why are you yelling for Maya like that?

We're out of sake.

Then stop giving it to my father!

That's not possible.

I'll go myself.

You smoke another one?

Of course I'll smoke another one.

It's a party!

You shouldn't. I don't like it.

I'm going to find you someone

who smokes to marry.

Don't!

Hey, look at this.

That's interesting. That kind of hairstyle

was popular back then, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

Here we go, I got some more.

Sorry to trouble you

Let's have another one, together

No, thank you.

- My father would scold me.

- Really?

Let me pour you some.

I'm back.

Excuse me for being late.
