Asa was nervous.

After all, the last time she and Sobei talked alone...

Will you smile for my sister?

I thought you'd grown up a little, but inside

you're still a foolish kid, aren't you?

They've never talked alone since then.

Hatsu's little sister...

Yes?

Looking at it from your point of view.

How was Ainosuke when he worked at your bank?

I want your honest opinion.

To be honest...

I enjoyed working with Ainosuke.

We're a business, so just because he's family,

I didn't show any favoritism, but...

Even when he worked together with the

younger apprentices, he didn't look at all

displeased and really worked hard.

He did?

I'm sure he'll grow into a person who can be relied

on more and more even here in Arida.

But if you want to leave him in my care, I'll be

sure to teach him how to be a good businessman.

You sure have a lot or confidence.

At least let me be a little proud when it comes to business.

Other than that, I don't have confidence in anything else.

I'm envious of you...

You're envious of me?

I think it's nice that the whole family works so well together...

I'm always eating my meals alone.

In the morning, I have to get things ready at the

bank while it's still early.

My daughter hates getting up early...

In the evenings, I have my studies and any

work that I have left over...

The other day, when I thought I'd have

breakfast together with everyone, and hurried

back from the bank...

I made it in time for breakfast today.

What happened to my place at the table?

I'm sorry... I used it to get something up high.

What's going on?

It's not funny.

I felt as if it was better if I wasn't there.

Did something like that happen?

What are you doing?

I see...

But it can't be helped.

I work hard so my family of six will survive, but

you have to worry about keeping 10 times or

maybe 100 times more people fed...

That's true.

So my mom must have felt like this in the past...

Business is worth the trouble.

Right now, the two companies have finally started doing well,

so I'm relieved.

But maybe that's why...

Sometimes I wonder what I should be working towards.

I just don't know anymore.

My daughter hates me.

What do you think you're doing, lying around like that?

My husband..?

You, too, Sis.

How long have you two been there?

I just got here.

Don't sit with your legs pointed toward others.

It's bad manners. Stop it!

You're the one who told me when we have time off,

we should play and just relax and lie around

It sounds like something Shinjiro would say.

Stop that.

But putting those four together seems a little bit strange...

If Sobei and Asa had gotten married,

do you think that Sanouji-ya would have survived?

There's no way.

I just can't imagine you and that over achiever woman

being together. You'd have made them get

a divorce, and that would end it all.

That's true... So this is how it should have been.

That's right. I can't imagine anyone other than Hatsu

being our daughter-in-law.

That's right.

Dad... Mom...

I want the whole family together to talk...

Right now, Wakayama is at a crucial point in the orange growing business.

It's a time when our village Arida and Wakayama all

need to come together as one.

In order for that to happen, first of all, our family has to become one.

We're already one now.

It means all of our hearts have to become one.

Hatsu...

We tried to live our lives according to how our parents wanted us to.

I thought that was the only path...

I never thought that somewhere in this world there was a different path to take.

And that the path I took would be gone so unexpectedly...

We finally realized that we needed to look for a

different path to take on our own, didn't we?

That's true.

When we lost the Sanouji-ya business, and was thrown

out into a different world, everything looked bleak.

But when I really opened my eyes, and looked...

There was a path that opened up unexpectedly.

There were things we saw for the first time, weren't there?

That's right.

We saw a lot of dirty things, but we saw a lot of things

to be grateful for like the plants, flowers and the stars.

It made me dizzy...

But your mom held my hand all the way...

There you go bragging about your wife again.

But it's the truth.

Hatsu protected this family.

Dad...

Your mom may have small hands, but they're strong.

I know! I can't count how many times she spanked me with those hands.

She sure did.

Didn't she?

That's how I chose this path together with your mom...

That's why even though we're poor, I'm proud

of the way we live now.

Ainosuke...

I want you to...

But, Sobei...

Mom! I'm talking about how I regret doing as

my parents told me to, so be quiet for a bit.

In other words..

I wanted you to understand this pride I have, but...

If you want to find your path in life by yourself

even if you have to run away from home, then...

It made me realize that I can't stop you...

My husband... What about this family?

Mom! Please! Let me go to Osaka!

If I can't work at Kano Bank, I don't care if it's another

business, I'll look for it myself.

Even if it's just once, I want to go to Osaka, the number

one merchant's town in Japan and the place where I was

born, and work there.

Mom... I love oranges...

And it's not that I dislike working together as a family or this village...

But I found something that I want to do more.

Please let me go to Osaka.

Mom!

I'll do my best... Up until now, I slacked off, but

I'll work harder...

Please let Ainosuke go.

So you were slacking off, after all...?

I hate this...

If you put it that way I can't tell you not to go.

Mom...?

Three years...

When we came to Wakayama, and planted the orange trees

it took three years for it to bear fruit for the first time.

So... Go, and work in Osaka for three years.

But if you don't amount to anything by then, you'll come back home.

Go to Osaka.

My husband... Will Ainosuke...?

You mustn't!

Didn't I tell you not to interfere in someone else's family affairs?

That's right. I'll just think about our family.

That's right.

I'll have to let Chiyo choose her own path regardless of what I think.

That's right.
