三匹の子豚
『三匹の子豚』が朝ドラで大ヒットした斉川亜樹。鳴かず飛ばずの時代からようやく抜け出し、忙しくも穏やかな生活を送っていた。そんなある日、彼女のもとに武蔵野市役所から一通の封書が届く。その内容は、会った覚えもない、叔母の赤松三代子なる人物の扶養が可能かどうかという照会だった。亜樹はパニックに陥る。見ず知らずの叔母の面倒を本当にみる義務があるのか――と。混乱しつつも役所からの問い合わせは放置していると、急に固定電話が鳴る。電話を取ると、相手は開口一番、赤松三代子のことで話があるという。問い合わせの回答をしていなかったので、役所からの電話かと思いきや、『NPO法人 ありがとうの里』の菊村藍子という人物からだったとわかる。彼女は、会って三代子の話がしたいと言う。仕方なく会う約束をした亜樹だったのだが――。

What message does the Three Little Pigs story, read aloud to us as children, aim to convey?
It seems to be: “Learn from others' mistakes early in life, and diligently put in the effort over time.”
Three sisters dressed as the Three Little Pigs
The timeline was disjointed, but just when I felt like I needed to sort out the characters, a relationship chart appeared. It was fun reading onward, like fitting puzzle pieces together.
The local flavor felt thin, making it hard to empathize.
Well, you could say that's just how novels are, but
what was the point of Saikawa Aki mentioning “Hundred-something Kaori” so many times? Whether suicide or murder, the reasons for death felt shallow, and people kept dying one after another.
Ultimately, the wolf was Shiro, who destroyed the three sisters to avenge his mother's death. Meanwhile, Iko wished for Shiro's misfortune and drove his female associates to their deaths.
When asked why the wolf destroyed the brick house at the end, he replied:
“So I can feed your flesh to my precious child.”
Was Iko the real wolf?
Right after reading it, I felt unsettled, but as I organized my thoughts, my ideas coalesced and I felt relieved.
The methods of sugar daddy arrangements, the psychology of mentioning things like “melanoma” to make others worry about her, the youthful content—it all evoked associations with so-called “toxic parents.”
I felt ashamed that I empathized with it at all, and it left me with a distinctly unpleasant feeling.
I thought, “So this is what the Three Little Pigs would be like if written by Sachiko Mari.”
