After the successful completion of the ceremony to present

the eighth generation successor to Kano-ya...

We'll all work together to protect Kano-ya...

Please continue to support us.

The reason Asa can be the way she is now

is because you're her husband.

Take care of yourself.

You, too.

Hatsu and her family started on their way to a new life.

Mistress! Could you be...?

Pregnant?

Really? Asa's going to have a baby?

Isn't there anyone who can go and bring her home?

But...

All right.

I'll go!

Mistress!

I hate this!

I feel so sick!

Asa?

I feel sick.

This is terrible! What am I going to do?

I didn't think it would be this bad...

The doctor said to just let it go, but can I

really just ignore this?

Or should I force her to take a palanquin and

send her back to Osaka?

But what if something should happen along the way...?

Kazu! How is the mistress feeling?

There's no change. Once the morning sickness

starts, it'll continue for one or two months.

On top of that, the mistress' morning sickness seems a

little worse than most.

You mean there are good and bad kinds of morning sickness?

Of course there are.

There are women who feel sick for only a few

days while there are those who have it so bad that

they can't eat anything, and grow weaker.

Grow weaker?

Just as Kazu said, morning sickness varies depending

on the pregnant woman.

And for women like Asa whose morning sickness was worse

than others, she had no choice but to bear with it.

I can't take this.

The boss lady's really in bad shape, isn't she?

I wonder if she'll be okay.

Meanwhile, Shinjiro and Ume were...

Oasa was traveling this long distance so often.

We should have hired a palanquin, after all.

But it seems like there aren't as many

palanquins for hire in Tokyo now.

What are people going to do without palanquins?

It seems they have what's called "basha" that are

carnages pulled by horses.

Not cows, but horses?

With two horses pulling the carriage, six people can ride on it.

Also there are a lot of rickshaws lined up

around the station.

Stations, horse-drawn carriages, and cropped haircuts...

Everything's becoming so westernized.

This is terrible.

Let's hurry.

The mistress was worried about Satoshi?

She thinks that he's up to something, so she

doesn't want to go back to Osaka.

But his group is working really hard now.

But just like the mistress said, it's true that

Satoshi doesn't like Kano-ya.

Kano-ya?

Why?

Young Mistress!

Why does Satoshi dislike Kano-ya?

I don't know, but...

Are you okay, Mistress?

This isn't good... Let's go inside.

I didn't realize I'd have to suffer this much being pregnant.

My sister wasn't at all like this when she

was pregnant with either Ainosuke and Yonosuke.

Will I die?

Don't say things like that.

Morning sickness is a sign that the baby is exerting

itself inside you.

Really? I'm still flat as a board.

You're exerting yourself too much!

Give me a break.

A man can't do anything at a time like this, can he?

No... That's not true.

The perfect medicine for the mistress right now is...

Asa? Asa!

That voice...!

It can't be!

Your medicine is here.

Shinjiro! And Ume!

Kisuke!

I'm so glad you're here!

Don't give me that!

Why didn't you come home?

You'll find out soon enough.

She's in here. Come on in.

Asa!

Oasa! What's happened?

My husband? Ume!

This is terrible. What kind of illness does she have?

It's morning sickness.

She's been really nauseous so she can't eat and has

trouble even drinking water.

Morning sickness?

That's not an illness, is it?

You must be suffering.

I'll make you something you like to eat.

Can I use the kitchen?

Of course! It's over here.

I'm so glad.

You did it! I'd given up, but you did it.

It's been 11 years since we got married.

And right after that, there was the restoration, and

in order to rebuild our business, I made you

work all the time...

Lately, you've been in Kyushu more often than in Osaka.

So I thought we wouldn't be able to have a baby.

And yet, you...

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Are you feeling that bad?

The smell of your hair oil on your topknot...

Just breathing it in makes me want to throw up.

That's terrible.

Drink this.

Even water makes me throw up.

You don't have to drink it, just put it in your mouth.

This is tea that I made.

I'm so glad it wasn't an illness.

If you say it's not an illness again, I'll get angry.

I'm sorry.

I know! Ohatsu sent this together with a letter.

Oranges!

Here. Can you eat this?

We're going back tomorrow?

That's right.

It's too sudden.

What did you expect?

I came to Kyushu for the first time in my life, so

I could take you home even if I have to drag you.

Isn't Kyushu a nice place?

It is... And the fish the women gave us was so delicious...

What am I saying?

This is no time for that.

We're going home for sure tomorrow.

Besides, there are a lot more doctors in Osaka.

I know, but...

Then shall we decide with a sumo match?

No... There's no way I can win right now.

Why didn't you come home right away?

The reason for that is that guy...

Out of the five group leaders, he was the

only one who would defy the young mistress all the time.

Asa mentioned him before.

But she said she was relieved because

he's started working hard lately...

That's just it...

He suddenly changed his attitude, and started

listening to what she told him to do...

So she said there was something unnatural about that, too.

He seems like a kind husband.

He came all the way from Osaka to bring his wife home with him.

There aren't any kind men like that among the Kyushu men.

Thank you.

That's enough! Hurry and finish up here!

I'm sorry!

That's...

Thank you for coming!

Chief! Where are you going, Chief?

Why does he have such a bad attitude?

Excuse me for a minute!

That couldn't be!

Is something wrong?

That group leader... What's his name?

His name is Satoshi.

Satoshi! What's wrong?

Don't be so disagreeable.

Sorry, but when I see such a carefree rich man like

that, it just disgusts me.

But that's going to end soon.

What do you mean by that?

I'll show them.

Who is this Satoshi anyway?
