[03:53] SAKIKO
    Oh, um...
[03:56] MARUKO
    Seriously, my big sis just doesn't
    understand the hardship I have to go through.
[04:04] TAMAE
    R-Right...
[04:07] NARRATOR/I
    Hardship? More like doing whatever you want.
[04:11] SAKIKO
    Of course I feel bad that she
    only gets my hand-me-downs.
[04:15] SAKIKO
    But I have to take care of her,
[04:18] SAKIKO
    and there's a lot I have to put
    up with just because I'm older.
[04:22] SAKIKO
    Does she understand the
    hardship I go through?
[04:25] SAKIKO
    I want to get spoiled too.
[04:28] SAKIKO
    I wanted a big sister too.
[04:32] YOCCHAN'S WIFE
    Then I'll be one.
[04:33] SAKIKO
    Huh?

    I'll be your big sister until I leave today.
[04:41] SAKIKO

    It's fine.
[11:08] MARUKO
    That's your handkerchief, right, miss?
[11:11] YOCCHAN'S WIFE
    Yes, it is.
[11:12] MARUKO
    Then that's a hand-me-down from you.
[11:15] SAKIKO
    Huh?!

    You know this too.
[11:19] MARUKO
    Little sister is fated to
    end up with a hand-me-down.
[11:22] SAKIKO
    That's not...
[11:25] YOCCHAN'S WIFE
    You're right.
[11:26] YOCCHAN'S WIFE
    Or do you not want a hand-me-down from me?

    I had one yesterday.
[12:13] MARUKO
    But it rains exactly when

    You don't think I'm a rain bringer, do you?

    "A rain bringer"? I think

    When it rains too much, sometimes
    it's pointless to use an umbrella.
[14:15] SAKIKO
    When the wind is too strong,
    it can get inverted like a cup.
[14:18] MARUKO
    When that happens, there's
    nothing you can do, you know?
[14:28] HIROSHI
    Umbrellas haven't really
    changed much since the

    I see.

    Things are getting better and more
    convenient, so I hope umbrellas get better too.

    People in England don't use
    umbrellas when it's raining?

    Correct!

    Weather tends to change a lot in England.
[16:53] HANAWA
    So unless it's very heavy, many people
    get by without an umbrella in rain.
[16:59] TAMAE
    But wouldn't they get wet?
[17:01] HANAWA
    "Rain or shine."
[17:03] HANAWA
    "Whether it's raining or the sun is shining,
[17:06] HANAWA
    getting a bit wet isn't much
    of a problem," is what I think.
[17:11] MARUKO
    How stylish, like they're born
    and raised in the city of Edo.
[17:14] MARUKO
    Well, I suppose you'd call them "Londonite."
[17:19] HAMAJI
    When it's raining and you
    don't have an umbrella,
[17:22] HAMAJI
    which do you think will stay
    dry? Walking or running?
[17:29] MARUKO
    I'd say running would help you stay dry.
[17:32] TAMAE
    I agree.
[17:34] TAMAE
    But if you ran fast, wouldn't
    you get rained on that much more?
[17:40] HANAWA
    For example, between running
    50 meters in ten seconds
[17:45] HANAWA
    and slowly walking it in one minute,
    I think you'd get wetter walking.
[17:53] TAMAE
    I see.
[17:54] HAMAJI
    That example is easy to understand!
[17:57] MARUKO
    But if you run, you get splashed
    and your feet get wet.
[18:01] HANAWA
    Sure, there are cases like that too.
[18:05] MARUKO
    In order to stay dry in rain,
    I guess you have to think a lot.
SIGN    Sakura
[18:11] TOMOZOU
    I'm ready.
[18:14] MARUKO
    Then, in preparation for the hydrangea walk,
[18:16] MARUKO
    let's investigate what will
    help you stay dry from rain.
[18:21] TOMOZOU
    Very good.
[18:25] MARUKO
    Can you try different ways of holding it?
[18:28] TOMOZOU
    Got it!
[18:34] TOMOZOU
    Holding it close helps you get less wet,
[18:36] TOMOZOU
    but you can't see the
    front and it's dangerous.
[18:39] TOMOZOU
    Whoa!
[18:40] MARUKO
    Grandpa, are you okay?!
[18:43] NAGASAWA
    Sakura.
[18:44] MARUKO
    Huh?
[18:45] NAGASAWA
    What on earth are you doing?
[18:49] NAGASAWA
    Your mom said you were in the yard.
[18:51] NAGASAWA
    Here, thank you for this.
[18:53] MARUKO
    You came to return this to me?
[18:56] NAGASAWA
    We're not allowed to bring
    manga to school, so...
[18:59] NAGASAWA
    Bye.
[19:01] MARUKO
    Oh, Nagasawa, wait!
[19:06] NAGASAWA
    Why should I...?
[19:08] MARUKO
    Nagasawa taught me a really smart way
    to shake the water off of an umbrella.
[19:14] TOMOZOU
    Oh! That's wonderful!
[19:17] MARUKO
    You must know a smart way
    of holding an umbrella, no?
[19:21] NAGASAWA
    Well, I guess you could say that.
[19:24] MARUKO
    Really?! Tell me, tell me!
[19:27] TOMOZOU
    Tell me, tell me!
[19:33] NAGASAWA
    You usually hold it like this, right?
[19:36] MARUKO/TOMOZOU
    Yes, yes.
[19:37] NAGASAWA
    But your shoulder could get wet.
[19:40] MARUKO/TOMOZOU
    Yes, yes.
[19:41] NAGASAWA
    But if you hold it like this,
[19:43] NAGASAWA
    then the surface that doesn't get
    wet from rain actually increases.
[19:46] MARUKO/TOMOZOU
    Wow, amazing!
[19:50] MARUKO
    Wow, it really does help you stay dry.
[19:53] NAGASAWA
    Right?
[19:54] SUMIRE
    Huh?
[19:55] SUMIRE
    What are you doing?!
[19:57] SUMIRE
    You're flooding the yard!
[20:00] MARUKO
    We were investigating how
    to hold an umbrella—
[20:03] SUMIRE
    Stop it right this second!
[20:08] TOMOZOU
    How about this?
[20:10] MARUKO
    What is it?
[20:12] TOMOZOU
    You know the folk tale of the
    jizo statues with straw hats?
[20:15] MARUKO
    Yes.
[20:16] TOMOZOU
    Just like the straw hats on the jizo
    statues, we'll put umbrellas on our heads!
[20:21] MARUKO
    It's nice that we don't have
    to hold it in our hands, but...
[20:25] MARUKO
    Everywhere except for your
    head will probably get wet.
[20:28] TOMOZOU
    You're right.
[20:31] MARUKO
    Isn't there a nice way to make
    sure the whole body stays dry?
[20:35] TOMOZOU
    What if we attach a plastic cloth?
[20:40] TOMOZOU
    Even if it rains sideways, you'll stay dry.
[20:43] MARUKO
    That's nice!
[20:45] MARUKO
    But how about we attach plastic
    tapes, instead of clothes,
[20:49] MARUKO
    and line the edge of the umbrella with them?
[20:53] TOMOZOU
    I see.
[20:56] MARUKO
    Finished!
[20:59] MARUKO
    How about this?
[21:01] TOMOZOU
    Oh! This should protect your
    whole body from the rain.
[21:05] MARUKO
    Right?!
[21:07] MARUKO
    Now, even if it rains on the hydrangea
    walk, nothing can ruin it.
[21:11] TOMOZOU
    Yes, indeed!
[21:29] MARUKO
    I can't see hydrangea too well.
[21:32] TOMOZOU
    Right, it's hard to see.
[21:47] MARUKO
    This isn't working.
[21:50] TOMOZOU
    Nope, not working.
[21:52] NARRATOR/I
    After much trial and error
    to stay dry in the rain,
[21:55] NARRATOR/I
    Maruko eventually learned that
    umbrellas haven't changed much
[22:00] NARRATOR/I
    because the current design works the best.
[22:06] MARUKO
    Oh boy...

    Fujiki, are you thinking about inequality?

    You know, I get yelled at by my mom
