It's been two months since Asa wrote to Shinjiro.

I wonder if Shinjiro's angry because I sent

such a strange request.

But Asa's heart belonged to Shinjiro even though he never wrote back.

KANO-YA OSAKA

At the time, Shinjiro was...

MIDDLE HEAD CLERK KISUKE

How's my brother doing?

The medicine your father bought seem to work really well, so he's sleeping soundly.

He is?

What is that?

This?

It's garbage...

Garbage...?

Since Shotaro got sick, the mistress has been crying all the time.

MOTHER YONO

She cried so much that she ran out of tissue, so she

started using the master's letters that was near her.

But it was s letter with such messy writing...

She got so angry, and tore it to little pieces.

That must have been terrible.

So the master asked me to see if I could figure

out who the letter was from...

It was probably a love letter from some geisha.

Have you ever seen a love letter with such messy handwriting?

A love letter?

Let me see...

This goes here...

"I can't sleep at night..."

I told you it was a love letter.

Dad really is...

ASA

This goes here.

Wait! Let me see that.

I lost that piece...

SHINJIRO

This is terrible!

Is this all of it?

Let's see...

Idiot! What are you doing?

Hold your breath.

KYOTO

IMAI FAMILY

Days went by...

And it was finally March...

Hatsu and Asa will go to Osaka to get married at the end of this month.

So I'll have Ume as Hatsu's attendant.

And Fuyu will be Asa's attendant.

Ume... Please take good care of Hatsu.

I will.

And Fuyu... Please take good care of Asa.

That goes over there.

Put that roll of cloth in there.

They rushed to prepare for the girls' marriage.

While the whole house was in a celebratory

mood, Hatsu and Asa still couldn't seem to get

their feelings in order.

Where are you going, Asa?

I can't go anywhere...

But getting married feeling like this...

Sis... Is it okay to go through with this?

Is it really okay with you to marry into the Sanouji-ya family?

I saw Sobei's mother saying mean things

to you the other day.

So I'll tell Dad and Mom....

Asa...

Thank you.

You really are a kindhearted girl.

You're having such a hard time yourself, and yet you're worried about me.

Thank you.

But unlike you, I've never thought about not

getting married even once.

This is the only path I have.

So I'm going to take the path that Dad and Mom chose for me.

That's the best thing I can do.

Don't worry. I won't regret it.

Thank you.

Miss Asa! Wait!

Miss Asa!

Stop it, Miss Asa!

What if you get hurt before you get married?

If I get hurt you can roll me up in my

bedding, and send me to Osaka like that.

I'm so upset that I can't stand it!

All right. In that case, it's been a while, but shall we do it?

Is it okay, Ume?

I won't lose today.

This will be my last match with you.

So I won't hold back.

Are you ready?

Why?

Why do I have to get married because my

parents decided I have to?

Why does Sis have to put up those mean

things she said to her?

Why doesn't he laugh?

Why doesn't he answer my letter?

Why?

Why? Why? Why?

Asa!

Are you okay?

Are you okay, Miss Asa?

Take care of my sister.

Miss Asa.

Thank you, Ume.

Ume!

OSAKA RESTAURANT

That night, in Osaka.

Sobei...

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

HATSU'S FIANCEE SOBEI MAYUYAMA

Shinjiro had come to see Hatsu's fiancée, Sobei.

FUJINOYA

Is it okay for you to be hanging around a place like this?

Your family must be so busy preparing for your wedding.

It's not my wedding... It's my family's wedding.

Why should I care?

That's true.

What about you, Shinjiro?

There are rumors about your older brother.

I'm sure there are...

Speaking of older brothers...

Don't you think fate is strange...?

Even if we're in laws, you'll still be my

older brother, won't you?

Did you come to see how your brother in-law is doing?

I doubt it.

Aren't you here because that meddlesome tomboy asked you to?

You don't have to think so hard about it...

I just came to see you.

I heard rumors that you still have your mother

tie your loincloth, so I was worried.

Liar!

But...

Everyone seems to think that I do everything my mom says...

But they're wrong.

I'm thinking of secretly killing her someday.

That woman doesn't care about me or my dad who

married into the family.

She thinks all men are just tools she can use

for the sake of the family.

I have to teach her a lesson someday.

Unlike you, I hate women.

They're all sly and a nuisance. And they're greedy.

This is no good.

KANO-YA

I wonder how I should tell her.

Shinjiro! It's terrible.

It's Shotaro...

Shotaro...?

Shotaro!

Shotaro!
