I'm sorry to make you carry that for me.

It's okay... Asa told me that you're going to

have another baby.

Besides, if I go back home when my wife isn't there,

and go out to play again, my mom will scold me.

You're like a little boy.

Yes. I'm just a big kid.

How's Sobei doing?

He hasn't come home again.

Again?

He went out to sell the pickled vegetables that

I made, so I'm sure he come back eventually...

We're alike, aren't we?

Two lonely people who have been left behind.

You were supposed to marry into our family.

Ohatsu?

I'll take that. Let me carry that. If I walk

empty-handed, it look strange.

No... It's bad for the baby.

I'm always carrying it by myself...

Oh, no!

Shinjiro!

I'm really sorry.

It's okay. I'm sorry you had to sew this again.

Besides today was hot, so it was just right.

But if you catch a cold...

It won't cause any trouble for anyone if I catch a cold.

Don't say that.

See?

I'm so sorry.

You get along so well together.

Did she think we're a married couple?

She wouldn't think that...

Why wouldn't she?

It wouldn't have been strange if we had gotten married.

It's a bad omen... I'd better go and pray.

If...

If I had married you like your mother said, then

what would it be like now?

What am I saying? I'm so sorry.

You should go and pray, too.

That Sobei will come home soon.

I'll do that.

YUKATA PARTY

Good evening.

Come in.

Shinjiro!

What are you doing here?

A child shouldn't be in a place like this.

I'm not a child anymore.

As proof of that, Dad and Mom keep telling me

to find a wife whenever I'm at home.

I'm sorry. That's my fault, too.

If only you two were a more normal couple.

So I thought I'd learn more about being an adult tonight.

Idiot!

It's too soon for you.

Shinjiro told me about this, so I got this from Dojima.

It foams a lot, and it crackles inside your mouth.

It's an interesting drink, isn't it?

According to Mr. Godai, they always have this

beer at social gatherings in foreign counties.

Social gatherings?

Shall I get started?

I was waiting for that.

I've never seen Shinjiro look like this before.

You made something really cute again.

After that, put out the fire.

That night was a quiet night when everyone

seemed to be holding some kind of loneliness inside

as they went to sleep.

I didn't get to hear my husband play the shamisen, after all.

Mistress...

I don't know if this is something someone

like me should be saying, but...

Yes?

A woman shouldn't work too much without sleep.

You've hardly slept for 10 days already.

You're still young. It's not good for your health.

Are you sure you re feeling all right?

Thank you for worrying, but hearing you say

that makes me feel better.

Why don't you go back to Osaka once in a while?

I'm sure you're feeling lonely.

Kazu's right, Young Mistress.

Thank you, but...

I can't leave here right now.

The reorganization of the coal mine that

I came up with has just gotten started.

Everyone's looking toward that and working hard,

so I can't be-selfish.

It's not selfish!

Being selfish is doing what you want

without thinking of others.

You're the opposite.

You don't think about yourself at all...

Take better care of yourself, you idiot!

Idiot?

He's been saying this all along...

That you're an idiot.

Am I an idiot?

How dare you say that about the young mistress?

She's pushing herself so hard and trying her best.

I'm sorry! But when this sharp tongued man

calls someone an idiot, it's the highest praise.

You idiot!

That was unnecessary.

Why not? You should let me have my say once in a while.

He likes you.

All the other coal miners, too.

But Kyushu men never say anything more

than necessary, but you should say how grateful you are.

No... It's okay.

No it's not okay.

A man who can't say something to a

woman who's in a weakened condition is a coward!

That's right.

Thank you.

If you're feeling down, then we can't keep our spirits up.

The men and women are all working hard to keep up with you.

Up until now, I've been in a lot of living quarters,

but this is the first time...

Even the ones who didn't like to work have started

gradually working harder and everyone seems

so happy as they're digging for coal.

We owe it to you.

We mountain men don't say much, but...

We're grateful to you.

Your feelings have gotten through to everyone.

Thank you.

Boss Lady.

Thank you.

I like you, too, Boss Lady.

Thank you, Mistress!

Thank you.

Why are you crying, Kisuke?

Don't cry.

I thought all this tame that you were going unrewarded...

Aren't you glad, Young Mistress?

Thank you, Kisuke.

Don't cry! You're going to make me cry, too.

But..

Boss... Was that group leader, Satoshi ever in Osaka?

Once in a while when he's talking it seems like he's from Osaka.

And he knew the Kano-ya name.

He said he's worked at a lot of different mines

from the north to the south, but...

I never heard him mention Osaka.

How's the young mistress?

She's sleeping.

Asa was dreaming.

My husband...?

I fell asleep. I'm sorry. I was so tired.

I couldn't go to see you play the shamisen.

Mr. Godai...?
