Original subtitles

It was morning at Kano-ya.

And after marrying into this family, Asa was

finally going to...

Is it true that it's finally coming?

It hurts! Sis didn't suffer this much.

Oasa... Yelling won't change the pain...

That's right. If you have the time to yell, then try breathing...

Once more... Breathe in deeply!

Do your best, Oasa.

Do your best!

The baby's here!

It's the baby's cry. The baby's here!

I'm so glad.

Let's go...

Are you okay, Mom?

You did good, Asa.

Men aren't allowed in here yet.

It's a healthy baby. Don't worry.

Wait just a little while longer.

They shut me out.

I can't wait!

It's so cute.

Let's show your face to your mom..

What was that? What a surprise.

Although it was a difficult birth, Asa safely gave

birth to her baby girl.

So we finally meet.

You really worked hard, didn't you?

Doctor... Midwife...

Thank you so much.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Asa!

It's a girl?

It's a little girl.

Didn't I tell you?

When I saw her stomach, I was sure it was a boy.

I'll have to reconsider...

Reconsider what?

I wrote down only boys names.

Look at all of these!

What are we going to do with you, Grandpa?

Let me...

Can I carry her?

Here you go.

You went through a lot, so you can just rest.

She's adorable, isn't she?

Who does she take after?

Doesn't her forehead and the shape of her

nose look like you, Dad?

Me? We can't have a girl looking like me.

But you sound so happy.

Look at her eyes... They're your eyes.

You think so?

It really does.

She's as tiny as a monkey, so how

can you tell who she takes after...?

It's time you let me carry...

Congratulations!

Sorry to bother you...

We just wanted to congratulate you.

It's been a while since there's been an

auspicious occasion in this family.

You're not bothering us.

It's my grandchild... Hurry and take a look.

Is it okay?

Excuse me...

No!

Yashichi... What do you think you're doing?

Did you just spit on your hands just now?

I did... I wanted to clean it first...

What so clean about that?

Don't come into this room!

All of you... Thank you all for coming to

give your blessings, but I'll come by later to

show you the baby, so wait for me.

I'm sorry. I was so happy that I told everybody.

It's okay, but...

Dad!

What is it? Why so formal all of a sudden?

Please! Just for a little while, will you leave

Asa and me alone...

No... Leave the three of us alone...

That's a good idea.

Maybe I'll have some tea in the other room.

Right away.

Don't move yet.

We'll be back later.

You're right... We got too excited.

I'm sorry. We'll let your dad carry you now.

Be careful! Careful!

She's so tiny!

I feel like she'll break.

Pull yourself together.

Support her neck...

Shinjiro... Oasa...

Congratulations.

I'm sorry. You don't look at all like a monkey

You're a beautiful child.

This is your mom.

And I'm your dad.

We finally meet...

Thank you for coming into our world.

Asa...

Thank you!

It's raining...

After that, Shokichi started thinking of girls' names.

Until finally, three days later...

CHIYO

Chiyo?

That's right.

I pray that you'll flourish from now until a

thousand years from now.

That's how I chose your name.

Doesn't it suit your baby?

It's a nice name.

Chiyo! Your name is Chiyo.

Your grandpa gave you your name.

I can look at her forever, and not get tired of her.

Chiyo...

This is a charm so you'll have lots of milk...

Yono and I went to get this.

Thank you.

I pray that I'll have lots of milk...

I wish I could produce milk.

I can't anymore.

Really? That's strange.

What are you saying?

Dad...

Didn't you want a boy instead?

What are you saying? That's not true.

Even your mom...

if she has a boy, then from the time he's

born, we know he'll have to take over the business.

But if it's a girl, we can pick a capable young

man, and adopt him into the family

as her husband.

That's what she said.

There's nothing to worry about.

Is that right? Then I'm glad.

Thank you for picking out a good name for her.

For a while after that, Asa forgot about

work, and concentrated on taking care of her

baby and regaining her strength.

Spending time with her baby.

Then just as she had before, she started

working hard again.

Where's her diaper...?

While Shinjiro stopped going out to play...

She's perspiring again...

Let's put powder on her tummy...

Kano!

The powder...

Right away.

It's on the shelf there.

If only Shinjiro would put some of that hard work into our family business.

Did you say "coal mine"?

I'm thinking that I should go to the coal mine again in

the near future.

I've left it up to Kisuke for such a long time...

But according to Kisuke's letters, the coal mine

is running smoothly, so he didn't want you to

worry about it, didn't he?

But...

It seems like it's running a little too smoothly.

Because it's running smoothly we have to focus on it even more.

Instead or just having a man like Kisuke who's

so kind-hearted, someone like me has to go over

there once in a while.

It seems like Asa is thinking of expanding the coal

mining business, so she can use the profits into turning

Kano-ya into a bank, isn't she?

A bank...?

That's what she said.

But you don't want to turn Kano-ya into a bank, do you?

That's right. I don't.

Do you think I'm strong enough right now to

win against Asa's opinion?

Dad's on Asa's side...

But you're the eighth generation head now.

They have to listen to you as the head of Kano-ya.

Thank you, Gansuke.

You'll always be on my side, won't you?

Yes. Of course.

KYUSHU KANO COAL MINE

Meanwhile... at the coal mine in Kyushu...
