About the marriage...

Will you let us put it off at this time?

What do you mean by putting it off?

My eldest son, Shotaro passed away...

That's why...

Asa...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

For what?

Because I sent a presumptuous letter to you not knowing

what a terrible time you were having with your brother.

I'm really sorry.

About that...

Could it be that you never got it?

That would be better.

The messenger must have been so surprised at

such awful handwriting that he threw it away.

It was even worse.

At first, I thought it was a letter of challenge.

A letter of challenge?

That's right... It was written with such assertiveness...

I was so relieved when I realized it wasn't...

Was it that assertive?

I've received a number of letters from women, but...

It was the first time I received one like that one.

Is that right? It was the first time I wrote a letter, so

I've never gotten a love letter from a man before either...

Is that right?

I shouldn't have sent a letter like that, after all.

I was happy that you wrote.

So I thought I'd check it out for you...

And I met Sobei, but...

But just when I was going to tell you what I learned...

My brother was in critical condition.

At a time like that...?

It's okay. Maybe I enjoyed it.

My brother was suffering, and I couldn't do anything for him.

And being of help to you, I might have been trying

sort out my feelings toward my brother.

Maybe because I met you.

He was good big brother.

He was smart and good-looking.

He was so kind-hearted...

I could never compete with him in anything.

My dad and my mom paid special attention to him.

Everyone said Kano-ya didn't have to worry with him as the heir.

That's right... If anyone was going to die,

it would have been better if I died.

Why did my brother have to...?

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to complain.

I took advantage of your kindness.

Shinjiro!

We'd better be on our way.

Sobei may be a difficult man, but when he

was a child, he was fun to be with.

Right now, I'll just have to believe in that.

Give your sister encouragement.

Shinjiro!

May I say one thing?

You're a very, very, very kind-hearted person.

That's where no one else can beat you.

So make up for your brother's loss.

Thank you.

I said something I shouldn't have said again.

The next day, on the last day of March...

Only Hatsu went ahead to Osaka to get married.

We'll be there tomorrow.

Sis...

Sis!

Sis! Sis!

Miss Asa! Don't run...

Let her go today...

Sis...

Sis!

Asa!

Sis! Sis!

Sis!

Six months later...

What is this...?

You look like a girl.

Asa...

What do you mean by that?

Asa...

Take this.

An amulet...

Did you sew it?

It's the same as Hatsu's.

Thank you.

Listen to me.

You're not an ordinary hopeless girl.

You're a tried and true hopeless girl.

You have more grit than anyone else.

The day will come someday when you'll be glad you were born a girl.

So just stay firm and...

Don't forget to keep your soft heart, and be a good wife.

I will.

You should say something, too.

Never mind me...

I'm not good at things like this.

Don't say that... Go on...

Don't come home.

You already told me that.

I said something I shouldn't have again.

I know... I'll be sure to protect my family.

That's good. Now just go.

I will.

KANO-YA OSAKA

Asa finally arrived in Osaka.

Anyone can look good in the right clothes.

Where's Shinjiro?

The thing is...

I'm terribly sorry! It seems Shinjiro forgot it was his wedding day...

How could he take his shamisen and go out

to view the autumn leaves on a day like this?

Be quiet!

View the autumn leaves?

SHAMISEN TEACHER MIWA

What a surprise!
