108

Tamayo, Kurita's grandmother, is pestering Kurita about finding a husband, so Kurita is relieved when Yamaoka calls her asking for help. On his way home, Yamaoka had run into two young children, and been told by the apartment building's landlord, that their mother had disappeared several days ago, leaving them to fend for themselves. Through the connections of Tamayo Kurita, it's arranged that the children can stay in the cram school of Mr Hatanaka. One day they run away and Hatanaka believes he was too hard on them when they refused to eat umeboshi. After a long search in the neighborhood, Kurita and Yamaoka find the children and bring them back to their apartment. There, Yamaoka finds umeboshi pickled by their mother, and asserts they are much better than the varieties sold in stores. At that moment, the children's mother returns. After the death of her husband, she had been unable to find work and became distraught and even suicidal, but eventually decided to return to her children. Later on, Yamaoka and Kurita have learned that she started working in Hatanaka's school and wonder how the children are doing. (Source: Wikipedia)
