That was great.

Today is Shinjiro's first shamisen performance

What do you mean?

He's very good at singing, tea ceremony and other

things, but his shamisen is by far the best.

He said he can't practice at home because his dad hates it, so

he comes here every day to practice.

Is that right?

I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Miwa. I've been teaching Shinjiro to play the shamisen.

Asa-chan?

What are you doing here?

That's what I want to know!

That's right... I'm the one who should be scolded.

That's right.

How could you hide a hobby that you're so good at?

My grandpa played the shamisen for enjoyment

after he retired, but this is the first time I've heard

shamisen playing like this.

It was such a surprise.

I'm the one who's surprised.

A young girl coming out at night alone

But... I was so worried about where you've been going...

I had no idea you were going to see such a beautiful woman.

What? Are you jealous?

No! I'm not!

But I feel like you've done a good job of deceiving me again.

I'm not smart enough to deceive you.

Look at that.

Whenever there's something important or something

I'm really looking forward to, it always rain.

Everyone calls me the rain man.

It seems to suit you.

What is it?

Before I left home earlier you said you wanted to talk to me, didn't you?

That's right. It's about the store.

What? It's about the store?

Then never mind.

What do you mean by that?

Why don't you have more interest in the store?

Kano-ya is a fine store.

Even if you're part of the branch family, you're

still the son of that family.

You're the guardian to the heir to the family.

Besides, you're a full grown adult.

Your shamisen playing is awe-inspiring...

But it's not right that you keep running away

from the family business.

I don't know what the reason is, but why

can't you be a little more responsible?

I'm sorry! I said too much again.

I understand why you would complain about why I don't

come home, but I never expected you to scold me about the family.

His teacher was really beautiful, wasn't she?

I wonder if all men like women like that.

Good night.

Good night.

"The winds are changing. Your father is riding a new wind."

My husband...?

What do you think "a new wind" means?

If you say a new wind in these times, then

maybe it's the Satcho new government.

There are rumors that there's a war, too.

A new government? A war.

A war between the new government and the Tokugawa shogunate.

The new government isn't something you talk about

when you're in the bedroom.

Then what should I talk about in the bedroom?

That's a good question.

Something erotic?

Talking about something erotic, isn't something

you can just bring up and say, "Shall we talk about something erotic?"

They call that "Miyako no same."

"Miyako no same"?

It means spoiling the pleasure.

Is that right? I'm sorry.

Someone! Isn't anyone home?

What do you want?

It's the Shinsengumi.

I'm Toshizo Hijikata, the assistant commander of the Shinsengumi.

I'm sorry to come so late at night.

We want to borrow 400 ryo with this sealed document.

It's for restoration of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Get it ready right away.

Just... a minute please.

Excuse me...

What's happening with the Tokugawa shogunate now?

Asa-chan!

You just said that it's for the restoration of the shogunate.

If something should happen to the Tokugawa shogunate,

will you really repay that 400 ryo?

What?

Trust is more important than anything else to a money-changer.

So I wondered if we can trust all of you or not.

How could she talk to the Shinsengumi like that?

Are you saying that you can't trust the Shinsengumi?

Apologize! Apologize to them right now!

I won't apologize!

A sword and trust are the opposite of each other.

Asa-chan?

I'm just asking if you'll repay the money.

I'm the bride of this family.

As the bride it's my job to protect this family.

I'm sorry, Sir Hijikata.

She's my wife.

She overstepped her bounds.

You're some woman.

You certainty have courage.

A woman who's not afraid of the Shinsengumi...

You found yourself a formidable wife.

Lady...

I'll repay the money.

I promise to pay it someday.

If I'm still alive.

Thank you.

Asa...

She's paralyzed with fear.

You scared me to death.

You were up against some bad tempered samurai

One wrong move, and they could have cut you down.

I'm sorry I made you worry.

It just came out of my mouth.

I did something uncalled for again... Why am I always like this?

You're right. I'll have to put a lid on that mouth.

What was that?

I was wrong.

I thought you were still a child, but...

You certainly aren't a child...

You're a strong-willed grown woman.

I fell in love with you.

I want you to be my wife.

I'm already your wife.

That's right. I'm glad.

Is it morning already?

Yes, it is.

It looks like a nice day.

Is that right?

You had a lot of surprises last night, didn't you?

I did, but...

What is it?

If there's a war what's going to happen to that money?

Not that again!

My husband... I have a favor to ask you.
