1
00:00:01,834 --> 00:00:03,001
Asa-chan!

2
00:00:03,703 --> 00:00:05,003
Asa-chan?

3
00:00:05,872 --> 00:00:09,541
I'm so glad you're here.

4
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:19,184
I'll be going now.

5
00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:25,457
Hey! What do you
mean you're leaving?

6
00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:27,158
Today's my mentor's
first meeting.

7
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:29,027
Come back here!

8
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:32,731
What's with him?

9
00:00:33,866 --> 00:00:35,300
What a surprise.

10
00:00:37,707 --> 00:00:42,641

{\an8}SANOUJI-YA, OSAKA

26
00:01:51,644 --> 00:01:57,749
Asa and the others had arrived at
Sanouji-ya to meet Hatsu's fiancée.

27
00:02:00,653 --> 00:02:02,053
My name is Hatsu.

28
00:02:02,054 --> 00:02:04,956
After we're married, I will
devote myself to being

29
00:02:05,124 --> 00:02:09,527
a good wife for the sake
of Sanouji-ya's prosperity.

30
00:02:10,262 --> 00:02:15,233
Such a proper greeting.

31
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:18,770
You've had a wonderful
upbringing, haven't you?

32
00:02:18,771 --> 00:02:23,608
I'm sure you hate
to let her go.

33
00:02:24,543 --> 00:02:28,880
She's quite good at playing
the koto and Japanese dancing.

34
00:02:28,881 --> 00:02:30,982
It may sound strange
coming from me,

35
00:02:30,983 --> 00:02:32,650
but I'm proud to have
her as a daughter.

36
00:02:34,086 --> 00:02:36,721
How nice to be called a
daughter he's proud of.

37
00:02:36,722 --> 00:02:40,291
We must have her play
the koto for us later.

38
00:02:41,093 --> 00:02:45,664
What do you think, Sobei?
She's your future bride.

39
00:02:45,898 --> 00:02:49,267
SOBEI MAYUYAMA

40
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:16,394
How's business?

41
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:19,731
Our business...?

42
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:22,367
There's nothing to worry about.

43
00:03:22,368 --> 00:03:26,871
People say that Osaka's going
through a bad economy but

44
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:31,876
even if the water in the
Yodogawa River dries up,

45
00:03:31,877 --> 00:03:35,113
the money in our storehouses
will never run dry.

46
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:39,584
You're considered the largest
merchant in Kyoto, but

47
00:03:39,585 --> 00:03:43,088
Sanouji-ya is the largest
merchant in Osaka.

48
00:03:44,523 --> 00:03:47,025
We were the first to start a
money changing business

49
00:03:47,026 --> 00:03:49,894
in Osaka, and we're also the
first to issue notes here.

50
00:03:51,263 --> 00:03:54,599
So if you're going to marry
into the Sanouji-ya

51
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,969
business, you'll need to
get your act together.

52
00:04:00,606 --> 00:04:07,445
After all, you'll be the bride of Sanouji-ya,
the largest merchant in Osaka.

53
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:29,501
Asa!

54
00:04:30,669 --> 00:04:33,705
I'm sorry! I'm really sorry.

55
00:04:33,706 --> 00:04:35,340
There's an...

56
00:04:37,009 --> 00:04:38,343
Miss Asa!

57
00:05:20,352 --> 00:05:22,821
She's pretty good, isn't she?

58
00:05:24,223 --> 00:05:26,157
She's good at playing the koto...

59
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:42,774
I'm really glad it wasn't
her younger sister.

60
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:44,576
You're so right.

61
00:05:44,577 --> 00:05:51,249
Kano-ya is our business rival,
but for this, we should be grateful.

62
00:05:54,577 --> 00:05:59,249
I'd like to see the owner.

63
00:05:59,558 --> 00:06:02,560
What do you want
to see him about?

64
00:06:05,030 --> 00:06:06,030
That man...

65
00:06:06,031 --> 00:06:07,832
What's all the ruckus?

66
00:06:07,833 --> 00:06:09,300
We have visitors.

67
00:06:09,301 --> 00:06:10,635
Are you the owner?

68
00:06:10,636 --> 00:06:13,438
I'm Saisuke Godai assistant to
the Shipping Magistrate of

69
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:15,707
the Shimazu Clan in Satsuma.

70
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:17,442
Satsuma?

71
00:06:18,177 --> 00:06:22,380
I'd like to borrow money for the ship
our Lord purchased from Shanghai.

72
00:06:22,381 --> 00:06:24,349
Satsuma...?

73
00:06:24,850 --> 00:06:26,317
We're always indebted to you.

74
00:06:27,353 --> 00:06:30,054
But right now, we just
lent some money to

75
00:06:30,055 --> 00:06:34,058
the government, so we
have no money in our storehouse.

76
00:06:35,027 --> 00:06:36,828
But they just said earlier
that their storehouse

77
00:06:36,829 --> 00:06:37,962
would never run
out of money.

78
00:06:37,963 --> 00:06:40,164
You don't have any money?

79
00:06:40,165 --> 00:06:41,599
That's ridiculous!

80
00:06:42,401 --> 00:06:44,068
I'll think of a way to get
a little bit of money

81
00:06:44,069 --> 00:06:47,005
ready for you, so please
forgive me for today.

82
00:06:49,675 --> 00:06:51,309
I guess it can't be helped.

83
00:07:04,857 --> 00:07:05,890
Of all the...

84
00:07:05,891 --> 00:07:08,726
Why does a samurai have to be
treated like this by a merchant?

85
00:07:16,001 --> 00:07:17,201
What's wrong?

86
00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:20,471
Who would lend money
to the Satsuma?

87
00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:26,244
Be sure you clean up.

88
00:07:28,847 --> 00:07:31,149
I'm sorry... We just had
a boorish customer.

89
00:08:02,014 --> 00:08:05,950
FUJINOYA

90
00:08:07,419 --> 00:08:09,787
It's not funny, Ichizo.

91
00:08:09,788 --> 00:08:14,092
If he says he'll think about it, it's
the same as turning you down.

92
00:08:10,188 --> 00:08:15,092
{\an6}ICHIZO OKUBO

93
00:08:14,788 --> 00:08:16,092
I know that.

94
00:08:17,963 --> 00:08:21,532
These Osaka merchants always
just put up a good front...

95
00:08:21,533 --> 00:08:25,803
That's how merchants are.
He had you fooled.

96
00:08:26,805 --> 00:08:28,873
Hey, old lady. More sake.

97
00:08:30,576 --> 00:08:31,709
No! Not like that.

98
00:08:32,444 --> 00:08:34,012
Young lady... I'll have another.

99
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:35,580
Thank you.

100
00:08:38,584 --> 00:08:40,985
She's no young lady.
She's an old lady.

101
00:08:40,986 --> 00:08:45,823
Lady killer Saisuke just
doesn't cut it here in Osaka...

102
00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:49,360
You're drinking my
sake again!

103
00:08:56,468 --> 00:08:59,804
So that little girl was the
daughter of a rich merchant, too.

104
00:09:03,709 --> 00:09:07,311
Once we establish a trade
relationship with England,

105
00:09:07,346 --> 00:09:11,015
the first thing I'll do is crush
those Osaka merchants!

106
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:19,957
Are these people
all merchants?

107
00:09:19,992 --> 00:09:21,492
That's right.

108
00:09:23,962 --> 00:09:25,363
Money rules the world.

109
00:09:26,165 --> 00:09:27,799
Today, I'm just a low
ranking person.

110
00:09:29,768 --> 00:09:31,702
Sorry... Lend me some money.

111
00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:35,006
I don't have any either.

112
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:36,674
What?

113
00:09:39,578 --> 00:09:42,013
The young man from
Satsuma searching

114
00:09:42,014 --> 00:09:45,016
for small change will be
a key player in the

115
00:09:45,017 --> 00:09:48,152
Meiji Restoration one day
known as Toshimichi Okubo.

116
00:09:48,153 --> 00:09:51,823
And so will Saisuke Godai.

117
00:09:51,056 --> 00:09:54,092
{\an8}LATER KNOWN AS TOMOATSU SUGODAI

118
00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:57,161
But that won't happen
for a long time yet.

119
00:09:58,730 --> 00:10:01,833
KYOTO

120
00:10:02,201 --> 00:10:06,537
Meanwhile, Asa and Hatsu
had returned to Kyoto.

121
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:06,537
{\an8}IMAI FAMILY HOME

122
00:10:14,179 --> 00:10:16,447
Asa?

123
00:10:21,153 --> 00:10:25,857
How nice you can always
sleep so soundly.

124
00:10:32,097 --> 00:10:33,731
Can't you sleep, Sis?

125
00:10:34,666 --> 00:10:39,837
I wonder why. I should be
tired, but I can't sleep.

126
00:10:41,573 --> 00:10:43,040
I'm sorry about today.

127
00:10:43,041 --> 00:10:47,245
Doing such a foolish thing
in front of your fiancée.

128
00:10:47,246 --> 00:10:49,347
No. It's okay.

129
00:10:51,683 --> 00:10:59,190
But he... didn't even
smile once, did he?

130
00:11:03,395 --> 00:11:05,463
Now that you mention it...

131
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:11,569
You fell down right in front of him,
and he didn't even help you up.

132
00:11:19,278 --> 00:11:22,113
It made me think that
he's a cold person.

133
00:11:22,114 --> 00:11:24,382
He had narrow eyes.

134
00:11:25,250 --> 00:11:27,285
It was narrow, wasn't it?

135
00:11:27,286 --> 00:11:30,655
It was. A little bit
like a snake's.

136
00:11:31,256 --> 00:11:32,823
Don't say things like that.

137
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:34,959
Sorry.

138
00:11:40,732 --> 00:11:41,766
But...

139
00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:46,537
He did look a little bit like
a snake, didn't he?

140
00:11:46,538 --> 00:11:48,172
Didn't he?

141
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:56,948
But they say white snakes
bring happiness, and he

142
00:11:56,949 --> 00:12:00,551
had a pale face, so he's
a white snake...

143
00:12:00,552 --> 00:12:02,720
Don't tell me silly
stories like that.

144
00:12:02,721 --> 00:12:04,555
I'm sorry.

145
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:11,662
But compared to my
fiancée, he's better.

146
00:12:12,397 --> 00:12:16,867
After we went there with
Dad to see him, how

147
00:12:16,868 --> 00:12:18,502
could he go off for
shamisen lessons?

148
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:24,342
Nevermind.
Let's go to sleep.

149
00:12:42,894 --> 00:12:45,863
Are you crying?

150
00:12:45,864 --> 00:12:47,064
No, I'm not.

151
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:49,500
You're crying.

152
00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:54,972
I don't believe it.
You're crying.

153
00:13:07,185 --> 00:13:08,386
Use this.

154
00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:13,257
Thank you.

155
00:13:16,061 --> 00:13:18,029
But I'm not crying.

156
00:13:19,598 --> 00:13:21,132
All right. If you say so.

157
00:13:30,208 --> 00:13:35,613
I thought I was okay
with it, but...

158
00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:39,283
It's sad, isn't it?

159
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:45,990
I don't want to
go to Osaka.

160
00:13:49,594 --> 00:13:52,296
But we have to go, don't we?

161
00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,770
What should we do?

162
00:14:01,306 --> 00:14:05,609
But there's nothing we
can do, is there?

163
00:14:07,379 --> 00:14:08,979
Sis...

164
00:14:19,257 --> 00:14:20,624
Sis!

165
00:14:30,502 --> 00:14:31,702
What's wrong?

166
00:14:34,606 --> 00:14:36,140
They're crying!

167
00:14:38,076 --> 00:14:40,811
Mom! They're crying.
They're both crying.

168
00:14:45,283 --> 00:14:49,353
This was the first time
Asa saw her older sister cry.
