I'll admit that in the past, he had his weaknesses...

And he caused a lot of misery.

Did I?

Of course you did!

You ran away from us, and got into gambling.

That's true.

But even though he has his weaknesses,

he doesn't have a dishonest bone in

his body... He's a very truthful person.

And deep down he's a warm-hearted person.

Besides, my husband is no longer the husband he was in the past.

He's out working hard under the sun every day and now

he shines as brightly as these oranges.

This is the path that he's chosen for the sake of this family.

Mother...

Please, please... Just this once,

listen to what he has to say.

Please believe in him.

Even I know what Sobei is like...

I guess you do.

In fact, I know him better than anyone else.

That's right. You do.

And I know that it's not just his fault that

Sanouji-ya went under.

That's right. If times hadn't changed, Sobei is a man

who would have made Sanouji-ya even better

than it was as its heir.

Let's believe in those two.

What are you doing?

I overstepped my bounds.

Thank you.

Thank you for believing in me.

Not only the oranges, but the daikon that the

neighbor gave me really tasted good.

It was a daikon that had good texture from the top to the bottom...

If you pickled that, it'll be really good pickled daikon

You think so?

It will.

All right, you two... When shall we leave here?

And...

A new morning had come to Hatsu after they

decided when they'd make their new start.

If I had married you instead, what would it be like now?

Why did I say that anyway?

Meanwhile Asa was...

Oasa... Your writing is getting bigger again.

You're right.

How many more do I have to write?

That's true.

Kisuke, I'm sorry you have to help me when you're so busy.

It's okay. With this, my dream of becoming a

chief clerk has been put on the shelf for a while.

You? A chief clerk?

I'm at an age when it's not strange to think that I'd be

the chief clerk someday, and get married.

But... It's probably the chief clerk who's more

disappointed than I am.

Gansuke?

Who's disappointed?

Here are the numbers for the presentation of the new head of Kano-ya.

Thank you.

You don't have try to fool us by mentioning me...

What you're most bothered about is whether you can

get married or not, isn't it?

You're getting married, Kisuke?

No...

Lately, Kisuke's been wavering about the woman he loves...

The woman you love?

You noticed, too?

Of course! Using the coal mine as an excuse to

send all those love letters.

Love letters? When did you...?

I was just writing to let everyone know how

hard a time you were having over there.

Did you notice, too, Ume?

I did.

There isn't a female worker here who hasn't noticed.

What a surprise!

You're very attentive when it comes to business, but

you're a little bit slow when it comes to

things like this, aren't you?

That's true.

That's not true! Even I noticed that Kisuke

was secretly sewing a fragrance sachet for a woman.

So who is it? Is it someone I know?

No... It's...

Excuse me... I brought you more paper, Oasa.

Thank you.

Head Clerk. Thank you for the cute fragrance

sachet you gave me yesterday...

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Don't tell me the one you're in love with is...!

Excuse me!

Kisuke!

He ran away.

Abandoning his important work.

You have such beautiful handwriting, don't you?

Of course! I can't write the invitations to this important

presentation party with sloppy handwriting...

I hate to trouble you, but...

This one and...

This one... Need to be written over again.

I'm sorry.

Dad! Can I come in?

Is it the aroma of aloe wood today?

I'm going to borrow your utensils...

How's Eizaburo doing?

He was flustered that he had to take over

a lot sooner than expected...

But knowing him, he'll manage.

Rather than that, what about you?

That's the only thing you've always had good intuition about, haven't you?

I'm fine... It's nothing serious.

Was it? I certainly hope so.

Once the ceremony is over, you and Mom can relax as

much as you want.

If only we could put your affability together with

Eizaburo's diligence, the eighth generation has

nothing to worry about.

That's true... Also, Asa's determination.

That's right. You're right about that.

Thank you.

It's the day of the presentation of the new Kano-ya head.

Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule...

Mr. Godai!

Thank you for coming.

It's a big turn-out, isn't it?

I'm sorry.

I wanted to thank you for stopping by the coal mine sooner, but...

No... I went there because I wanted to.

Oasa!

Really?

That's right. My husband told me that all of a sudden.

Asa! You'd better take your place at the presentation ceremony.

For a woman to be seated at a merchant's presentation

ceremony was unheard of.

What a beautiful kimono.

I brought this kimono with me when I got married.

It's a kimono that brings good fortune at a time

when Kano-ya is undertaking something so important.

So wear this today.

Me?

That's right.

Will you all hurry?

Ouch!

Mother!

What is it?

Don't move.

I'm sorry.

Thank you! Thank you for being so good to me.

This is for Eizaburo, Shinjiro and my husband's sake...

Once the ceremony is over, you'll have to take charge of the household.

Turn around.

You both look good.

Why did she laugh?

Ume!

Ohatsu!

What's going on today?

A lot is going on for Oasa today.

We'd like to start the ceremony to present

the eighth generation Kyuzaemon Kanoya...

Asa... You look beautiful.

The presentation ceremony is about to begin...
