Original subtitles

Chiyo... I'm sorry.

You should reflect on what you've done!

Even you will die if someone stabs you!

How did this happen?

Asa escaped death.

I think women need a university, too.

You might be a little like me when I was young.

She was finally released from the hospital.

Mom told me...

...about Chiyo's marriage offer.

Will you give up on your dream to restore the Sanouji-ya name in Osaka?

How could you take my final dream from me!

Grandma?

Grandma! Grandma!

What happened?

Mother!

Mom!

Bring her over here!

Pull yourself together.

It hurts!

Are you okay?

Hurry, Doctor!

I brought the doctor

Thank you.

What's wrong, Kiku?

Did you fell?

That hurts!

Yonosuke!

Yes?

Will you go to the post office first thing tomorrow, and

send a telegram to Ainosuke?

You don't have to!

You don't have to tell him.

No matter what happens, you don't have to call him back here.

All right. But please pull yourself together.

Excuse me!

Mr. Kurakage...

I heard that Kiku-Sensei collapsed.

She broke her hip.

Her hip? She'll be laid up in bed for a while...

That's harsh.

I think it might be my fault.

I took away her final hope of going back to Osaka...

That has nothing to do with it.

When you get old, your bones get weak...

It's unavoidable.

I'm coming in...

My husband...

I'm going to see if I can get the bonesetter that the doctor

told us about to come.

No... I'll go.

You said you were going to see your father in Tokyo.

No... Mother's just as precious to me

Yonosuke... Where are you going?

I'm going to the orange orchard.

I'll do the all grass cutting by myself today.

So look after Grandma.

That boy... When did he become so responsible...?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Meanwhile in Osaka...

Gansuke?

That's right. He wrote a letter to Eizaburo.

He said his daughter has gotten better,

so the whole family is in Kobe where he runs a factory.

Is that right?

What kind of factory?

It's...

What was it?

Matches... The kind you light fires with.

That's right.

They're making matches.

Because of his title as chief head clerk at Kano-ya, his

associates trust him, so he says a prayer of thanks every day

to the predecessor and Eizaburo.

That's so like Gansuke.

Why are you crying?

I was wondering how he was doing.

I'm so glad things are working out.

I'm really glad.

Mistress...

About my chair...

Chair?

What about your chair?

Isn't Hei-san's chair bigger than mine?

It should be the same size.

You think so?

It's not as if the size of a person's chair reflects

a person's caliber, so it doesn't bother me at all.

It's bothering you.

You've been sitting on each chair a number of times testing to

see which is bigger.

What about your chair?

I have a fine chair in my office as the advisor, one in the

Kano Shoten's president's office and one more in Amagasaki.

You still act as their advisor once in a while.

How nice for you having a lot of fine chairs...

Advisor... The bank president would like to see you.

Coming...

It's of no use to have a lot of fine chairs...

You don't measure a person's fortune or misfortune with things like that.

What was that?

He's in a bad mood...

What a problem.

What about your chair?

This is mine right here.

Isn't it a bit small?

No... This is big enough.

When I don't have enough room to spread out my

materials, I take it home, or I use Hei-san's desk, too.

As usual, you're broad minded or just easy-going.

Come to think of it...

Hei-san go out to have lunch?

He went out with Ainosuke.

With Ainosuke?

Lately, right before payday, he always takes Ainosuke out to eat.

The bank clerks are saying how well they get along.

Is that right?

It's almost spring break, so Ochiyo's coming back to

Osaka soon, isn't she?

That's the reason he's in such a bad mood.

In Kyoto...

Chiyo was preparing to go home to Osaka.

Hello, Apple Girl.

What a beauty.

If the fates allow, we may be able to see each other again...

We weren't able to see each other...

What's wrong, Nobu?

I thought you went home to your family.

My dream has been crushed.

Mom told me to get married after I graduate.

She said I've had enough education.

I don't want to marry a man I've never seen.

I want to study more.

Welcome home, Ochiyo.

I'm home.

Hurry!

What is it?

Just come inside.

Thank you.

I'm home!

Welcome home, Chiyo.

What are you all doing here?

We heard you're a senior at girls' school, so we came to celebrate.

That's right. At the same time, we were talking

about you getting married after you graduate next spring.

Thank you, Grandma...

You, too, Uncle Eizaburo.

Are you going to a bride?

EIZABURO'S ELDEST DAUGHTER SAE

That's right. Rather than a bride, Chiyo will be taking

an adoptive husband, so we want a good man who can

help us here at Kano-ya.

Chiyo's still a child.

How can you say that when Asa and Sachi had been

married long before they were Chiyo's age.

If we're going to find an adoptive husband,

an older man might not be too agreeable, so

someone about the same age might be better.

That's what I thought, so I asked my family to look

for someone suitable.

Sachi's family knows a lot of people.

That's right.

But, Chiyo... If you're still not sure, you don't have

to rush into getting married.

There are a lot of different vocational schools where

you can learn, so it's up to you to decide.

I...

After going to girls' school like Dad suggested,

just as he said, I realized how little I knew about the world.

That's why in order to be a good wife,

I'd like to wait a little while after I graduate before I get married.

Really? You do?

Is that right?

I see... In that case, we'll just take our time and look for someone suitable.

We're counting on your help.

I'm counting on you, Eizaburo.

You sure are transparent.

When Sae and Masa grow up a little more, you'll know how I feel.

Won't he?

He's already looking for a suitable man at the

Commercial Training Institute, and if he find someone

promising, he's going to betrothed them.

Just what I'd expect of the eighth generation head.

I'm no match for you.

Why are you suddenly in such a good mood?

It's raining. It's raining.

Mom...

I need your advice.

My advice?

But I'll wait until tomorrow.

I'll put my things away.

All right.

This is the first time Chiyo has asked Asa for advice.
