Dear! Wake up, dear! How long are you going to sleep?
Ohhh, guess I fell asleep... Bring me a towel, would you? I'm going to the bathhouse!
[Time passes...]
Dear? You certainly brought many friends on the way back from the bath with you...
Today's a celebration! Don't hold back, everybody!
Hey, you, bring some booze! And order some eel and some tempura! Heheehee!
...And so, they had a huge feast. Somewhere in the midst of the festivities, Kuma fell asleep once again...
Dear... Wake up! Dear! It's time for work. Dear!
Heeehhhh...? Why do I have to go to work...? I've got that 48 ryo I found!
48 ryo? What do you mean? You know exactly how poor we are. I don't know what kind of dream you had, but...
What? Dream? Wh-What are you talking about? I picked it up on a Shiba beach! You know, that dirty purse! There was money inside! 48 ryo! I showed it to you!
I saw nothing of the sort! You haven't even been to the beach at Shiba. What a pathetic dream! I've never heard of the like!
Th-That can't be true! Look at everything I ate and drank last night! I called the others! We had a big party, remember?
That's right! I woke you up and you said you were going to the bath! You brought your friends, bought sake, and eel, and tempura, and when I asked how you'd pay, you said, "Don't worry, I've got plenty! It's a celebration!" I didn't want to embarrass you in front of your friends, so I couldn't refuse you!
W... Wait a minute. Then you're saying the purse was a dream... but the party was real? That's the worst combination possible!
What are we going to do now? You're already deep in debt, now you have a party to pay for! How are you going to do this?
A dream, huh...? [He lets out a horrified laugh] Wow. Uh... Listen, honey... Maybe we should just off ourselves? Avoid the hassle?
What are you saying!? That's not funny...!
[She bursts into tears.]
...I'm sorry. I've been awful to you. Please don't cry. It's all my fault....
I've finally come to my senses... I've made up my mind. I'll never touch another drop of alcohol.
[hiccup] Dear... Do you mean it?
I absolutely do. To pay off today... I'll talk to my brother, and if that's not enough, I'll talk to your uncle and get a loan together. And if that's not enough, I'll go around and beg.
Listen. Please? No matter how many years it takes, I'll pay it back. This time, I'll really quit drinking. I promise. I'll turn over a new leaf and work.
