Neko to Shôzô to futari no onna Page #5

She was wearing the kimono she

dresses in when modelling for my husband.

I knew this would happen.

I knew you'll feel this way until you'll

break it off

with men like him.

D'you want a glass?

I can't hear you.

It wasn't a good idea...

...running away only with this kimono.

If I was you...

You're still young and beautiful.

Explain this. If you don't have anything,

what d'you think you'll live from?

- I'll try.

- What is it that you want to try?

I want to begin a new life.

D'you really think that everything

has already been decided,

and that we can't change our destiny?

If we resist, we'll go forward,

even if we have to eat pumpkins.

A lot of people manage it.

Sure! I don't thank, you.

- Is it worth living like this?

- Why not?

People live like this,

and they are happier than we are.

You are talking about

the painter's family, aren't you?

They are cowards.

Don't say that.

I know them, and they're very strong.

They're cowards!

No. We are the coward ones!

- You're making me nervous!

- Why are you getting upset?

Because you don't want to reason.

You'll be back crying.

Get lost!

Kaneko-san! Kaneko-san!

What's the matter, mate?

You disappeared from the house,

and I knew nothing about you anymore.

- Pay my share, have you forgotten?

- Be sure I haven't forgotten.

I'm ashamed of what I've done,

and I can't go on.

And your girlfriend?

Where's she?

Upstairs,

the cat had kittens.

When it rains, it pours.

I went to buy food.

Four miserable fishes cost me 120 yen.

Listen, I don't know if you knew,

the portrait will be exhibited

in an art gallery.

And they say they want to give it to me.

It was well received.

They write about it in

Monday's paper.

Look, here.

"The portrait painted by Mr. Nomura is,

in everyone's opinion, a masterpiece."

It is acclaimed by the biggest experts.

And it goes on:

"The author's sensitive eyes,"

"have captured the model's inner beauty"

"as well as her outward beauty."

"And both virtues have been figured

on the canvas,"

"with a master's craftsmanship

and profound emotion."

Did you hear? I don't understand it,

but it seems a good review.

Tamai,

would you like to go see it with me?

I was there yesterday,

but I'll go with you.

What's the matter, Youko?

I saw a girl who looked very much like

miss. Midori.

- The alleged miss?

- She is. I'm sure.

I'm sure she's kind.

I don't believe anything you're saying.

- Look...

- Enough already.

See? Kumiko thinks the same way.

Look closely at the painting,

an you'll understand? Isn't it so, dad?

Ichiro, I wasn't inspired by a lie.

Even if you don't believe it,

you'll see a honest girl in the painting.

Kindness itself.

I assure you.

Her expression makes me think that...

I don't know how to explain it.
