START-184 Just because I’m indebted to the local men who helped my husband become a baseball player, why do I, his wife, have to treat them like a hostess every year? Honjo Suzu

Suzu, whose husband is a baseball player, returns to her parents’ home every year during the Obon festival to visit her husband’s mother, but it is the most unpleasant day of the year for Suzu.
