Original subtitles

Asa and Hatsu, two sisters born to the wealthiest merchant

family in Kyoto, both had fiancées from the time they were born.

Come back here!

I'm Isami Kondo, commander of the Shinsengumi!

Asa, the younger sister was engaged to Shinjiro from

Kano-ya, a prominent money changer in Osaka.

While Hatsu the older sister was engaged to Sobei

from Sanouji-ya the oldest and most venerable money changer also located in Osaka.

Sis...

Asa!

Sis! Sis!

They each left for Osaka to marry into their respective families, but...

Where's Shinjiro?

The thing is...

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

The groom, Shinjiro had completely forgotten

about his wedding and was out viewing the autumn leaves with his friends.

SHAMISEN TEACHER MIWA

What a surprise!

This is terrible! Just terrible!

Why are you laughing?

How could you forget such an important day as this?

Ouch!

What are you saying?

Look at that! It's such a nice day.

You owe it all to me.

Because I'm always bringing rain.

Anytime I looked forward to something, it would always rain that day.

So it's just right that I forgot about it for a little while.

That doesn't make any sense!

Don't just stand there. We'd better hurry.

Wait a minute, Shinjiro.

You sure are fast.

If the marriage starts off like this, what's going to happen to this couple?

What's taking him so long?

Kisuke went to look tor him, didn't he?

Now, now... It won't do any good for us to get so impatient.

That's just how he is.

Still. This is just what I'd expect from the

Imai family... This is made with really good material.

It's not that good.

Miss Asa... Please try to stay calm.

I've been sitting for too long, I can't bear the

pins and needles in my heart and my legs any longer.

Can I take it off now?

What are you saying?

If you take off the bride's hood that hides your horns,

everyone will see your horns.

Of course I'll grow horns...

Who ever heard of a wedding where the groom isn't here!

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Please excuse my rudeness.

Kisuke!

Are they angry?

Of course they are!

Shinjiro!

Hurry, and change your clothes!

Asa-chan?

Thank you for coming to be my wife.

You're as beautiful as ever today.

Did your horns just disappear?

Of course not!

It's been over 10 years since we've been

engaged, and now we're finally husband and wife.

Don't look like that. You'll make me sad.

I was really, really looking forward to this day.

Who would forget a day that he's been looking forward to?

I'm sorry about that.

But I... Every time I look forward to something...

It starts to rain...

I don't want to hear your excuses.

I hate men who are indecisive and can't make up their minds.

Is that right? I guess I'll have to be careful of that, won't I?

That's right! Be careful!

All right I won't ever be late to our wedding day again.

There won't ever be another wedding day.

Are those two going to be okay?

Why? Doesn't it look like they're enjoying themselves?

I'm more worried about Hatsu.

Even on her wedding day, she looked so tense.

So I'm really going to be this man's wife.

Shinjiro... Stand up.

Eizaburo... Come up here.

I know we're in the middle of a party,

but Shinjiro has finally become full-fledged.

Up until now he's been with the branch family, but from

now on, he will be acting as Eizaburo's guardian,

and will be working here now.

We're counting on sill of you.

You're a guardian?

I'm counting on you. I'll do my best.

Shinjiro... We're all counting on you.

What can I say?

You're putting me in a bind by saying things like that.

As you all know, I'm just the idiot son.

I'll try as much as possible not to get involved with the business.

So Eizaburo... I'm counting on you to do your best.

Big Brother...?

Let's go. Let's go back to our seats.

After the party, her father and mother went home to Kyoto.

Asa was going to be spending her first night in Osaka.

The young couple would be living in Kano-ya's annex.

Does Shinjiro hate doing business?

Miss Asa... From today, you must refer to him as your husband.

My husband...!

My husband...?

Asa?

Will you display this in your bedroom?

It's called "Ohariko." Isn't it cute?

MAID: KANO

The mistress made this herself.

It's a cute cat.

It's not a cat.

It's a dog.

It's an "inu hariko" (papier mache dog).

Why would you display a cat in the room where you consummate your marriage?

Consummate a marriage!

Was it a dog? I'm so sorry. It looked like the cat you

had display in your store.

The mistress made that "maneki neko" (beckoning cat)...

That' s right. You put lots of bits of paper to make it...

It doesn't matter if it's a cat or a dog...

I wouldn't say anything as embarrassing as being

a witness, so please don't worry about it.

Don't worry...?

You'll have to work hard from tomorrow as the

young mistress of Kano-ya.

I'm counting on you.

I'm starting to get nervous.

Will you sleep with me tonight?

Don't be ridiculous!

Don't worry.

You just let your body go along with the flow...

With the flow...

Shinjiro... I mean... My husband.

You smell so good.

It's sandalwood, isn't it?

Just go along with the flow.

Go along with the flow.

Don't worry. You don't have to be afraid.

Go along with the flow.

Ouch!

Why did I do that?

I'm sorry.

My little finger hurts.

Are you okay? I'm sorry!

Is something wrong?

I heard a loud noise.

Are you okay, Miss Asa?

It's not me...

When I went along with the flow...

No! It's nothing.

I just tripped and fell.

Will you go away?

I see... Pardon the intrusion.

If we tell them that my wife threw me to the ground

and I broke my finger on our wedding day,

I'll be the laughingstock around here.

I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.

Where are you going?

I'm just going out for now.

This is no good... She's still a child.

That hurts.

Oh, no!

Sis! I don't think he likes me anymore.

What am I going to do?

This is too tiring. I'm going to sleep!

Meanwhile...

at Sanouji-ya, Hatsu was...

KIKU MAYUYAMA

This is it...

Open it.
