Promise me you won't tell Mom.

About my crying yesterday.

Why not tell her?

No! It would be too mortifying.

Promise me!

Mothers and daughters are so much trouble.

Where have the two of you been sleeping?

Sitting over there or on this long bench here.

Chiyo borrowed some bedding, and laid it

down here, and slept together with Ume.

You did? It must have been hard on you.

Not really...

I'm going to sleep on the long bench in the waiting room today.

Don't say that... You should sleep in here.

Sleep here, and I'll sleep outside.

No... You should be sleeping here.

It would be strange...

I asked to stay at the last minute, so we couldn't

borrow any bedding...

But...

You can sleep here... I don't mind sleeping on the floor.

You fool! Whose fault is it that we're here in the first place?

You called me a fool again!

Listen to me... I already know that it's all my fault, but

couldn't you say something a little nice to...

I made up my mind...

Since we're all here, let's all try sleeping in here.

So this is your room...

I'm sorry it's so small.

It's more than enough room.

It's a nice room.

Are you sure this is okay?

Maybe you should stay in the guest room like

the grand mistress suggested...

No... We barged in all of a sudden, so if we stayed

in a beautiful room like that, I'd feel uncomfortable.

Besides, I prefer staying with Ainosuke.

I guess you're right.

Make yourselves comfortable.

Thank you, Ume.

Does it hurt?

Sleep over here, Chiyo

I don't want to sleep in such a small space.

If I roll over in my sleep, I might hit Mom where it hurts.

I don't mind if it hurts a little.

I want to sleep with you.

Come on...

Besides, when you were little, we

always slept together like this, didn't we?

See? It'll be okay.

Unlike your mom, you never tossed and turned even when you were little.

I'll sleep over here.

It's crowded, after all.

It's okay. I'm enjoying this.

You mustn't move.

I'm sorry.

He fell asleep already.

It must have been tiring for you, too.

Hurry and go to sleep.

I'm so relieved that I suddenly feel weak.

I told you, didn't I?

That little sister of yours is too tough to die so easily.

There you go again.

But it's just as you said...

She didn't die even after being stabbed by a ruffian.

I'm so glad.

If she had died like that, she would have been

filled with regret... Chiyo's still a child.

When I see her tomorrow, I'll have to scold her.

You mustn't... Ainosuke's sleeping already...

I'm sorry.

Staying in a magnificent house like this made me remember the past.

My husband...

My husband?

Dad?

Is he asleep already?

You can't blame him...

While you were unconscious, he hardly slept at all.

Is that right? You should go to sleep, too.

You must be tired.

I am, but I'm fine. I'm still young.

I see...

It was terrible seeing me like that, wasn't it?

What did I look like when I collapsed?

You were like this, holding your stomach, and...

No! I never want to remember something

like that ever again.

You're right... I'm sorry.

I should never have been made to see

my mother stabbed right before my own eyes.

You're right. Things like that rarely happens.

That's right. Don't ever do that again.

You're right. I have no delicacy, do I?

No, you don't.

I never expected that to happen to me either.

To think that someone hated me so much

that they'd do something like that to me.

I was only thinking about myself, and couldn't see

what was happening around me...

That's right. To begin with, people dislike women like

you who have no weaknesses.

I do have weaknesses.

My husband and you.

When I first came to Kano-ya as their bride,

my husband just ignored me for a while...

He did?

That's right. He was going to see Miwa, his shamisen teacher every night.

I came to be his bride, but I couldn't do anything,

so it was mortifying.

That's why I thought it would be good if

I could help with the business.

That's right... I thought this was the first time

I was stabbed like this, but back then,

I thought I was going to be stabbed once.

You were stabbed before?

I was.

SHINSENGUMI VICE COMMANDER TOSHIZO HIJIKATA

Will you really repay that 400 ryo?

Why you...! Are saying you can't trust the Shinsengumi?

How could you do that?

You're right... But Mr. Hijikata wasn't in any position to repay the money.

I'm sure Dad must have panicked.

That's right. Up until then, I thought he didn't even

care about me, even though he said it so timidly, he called

me his wife. I remember being so happy that time.

Timidly...

And thanks to that...

What is it? That's so creepy.

That's one thing I can't tell you.

But from then on, even though we'd gotten

married because of our families, we started

gradually becoming more like a husband and wife.

And you were born...

After you were born, it was just for one or two months

but there was a time when all I did was take care of you.

Breastfeeding you, sewing your diapers and giving you baths.

You were so small and so soft.

I still treasure that short time I spent with you.

To me, work is important and it's my reason for living.

I won't whitewash it by saying that I'm doing it

for your sake and for the family...

But how did you ever come up with the foolish idea

that I thought I'd be better off without you?

Because ever since I was little, it was always

the bank... the coal mine... the bank... the coal mine...

"Let's open a bank... I can't open a bank... I opened a bank!"

Constantly hearing you say that, it just came to me naturally.

Bank... coal mine?

Did I say that?

Your daughters are Ginko (bank) Shirooka and

Tanko (coal mine) Shirooka.

I see! I guess it's my fault.

I'm sorry.

You fool! This is no time to be laughing.

Okay. I'm sorry.

You're such a fool.

YOZAEMON YOROZUYA

At that time...

What are you doing?

I'm viewing the flowers.

There aren't any flowers here.

What are you saying?

Over there... The cherry blossoms...

There aren't any, are there?

I can't view the flowers without sake, can I?

You're Yorozuya, aren't you?

The one who stabbed the female owner of Kano-ya.

So this is a bank.

Ainosuke!

Yes?

I heard from Mom... You can take off for a little

while, and take your parents over to the hospital.

Thank you.

His little brother's turned into a fine owner, hasn't he?

Hatsu and Sobei took in the town of Osaka as they

headed for the hospital with their son.

Asa!

Sis!
