That's enough sake for tonight.

Your hand is so cold.

What happened?

What rough stitches.

Take it off. I'll sew it over for you right away.

No... I'm sorry but I just remembered something I have to do.

I'll be back again soon.

What am I doing?

You're so mean!

Darn!

Why do I have to do something like this?

By any chance...

Are you from Kano-ya?

No...

Good evening. How about a cup of tea?

And it was another new morning for Asa.

I'm back.

I sold it all.

Good work.

Thank you.

I'm back.

Time passed and Hatsu's stomach had grown big

but they still didn't know where Sobei was.

After returning to Osaka Saisuke had changed his

name to Tomoatsu Godai, and had established a

number of companies that set the trend for a new era.

Gaining the respect of the Osaka merchants.

It seems Kano-ya is finally having financial problems.

Is that true?

Thank you for coming.

Don't get up.

That young mistress is selling her trousseau.

Asa?

No... You're wrong.

That young mistress has bought a mountain

with a coal mine, and is about to start a coal business.

Coal?

A coal mine?

I see... Osaka's top merchant will become a miner.

Rather than Kano-ya, it seems the young mistress wants to

start a new business by herself.

She may look cute, but she's a woman who's more like a man.

Always attending the gathering of the

merchants Asa attracted attention, and whether

good or bad she became the target of rumors around Osaka.

Hello!

Shinjiro...

It's been four years since Asa came here as a bride.

And there's no signs of a baby yet...

What are you talking about?

Asa left you again today, and went off to hear more about some business.

Shinjiro... Are the two of you a real married couple?

It doesn't seem like she'll give us an heir.

Even if we had an heir, I belong to the branch family.

Get yourself a mistress.

A mistress?

I heard that you and your shamisen teacher are very close.

Who told you that?

It doesn't matter who it was...

Let's ask your teacher...

Let's see... If his mistress is working outside, then that

would be an embarrassment.

Have her quit as a shamisen teacher, and we'll pay

her a monthly stipend, and we'll even get her a house to live in.

What are you saying?

In times like these, why do we have to go and

spend money for something like that?

There's nothing more important than having an heir to the family.

I'm thinking of going to see her either today or tomorrow.

It's okay, isn't it?

It may look like her mother-in-law is

being mean to her but back then, it wasn't

uncommon for a man of status to have a mistress

for the sake of the family.

Oasa...

Are you hungry?

A mistress...?

Is something wrong, Oasa?

Young Mistress... You have a visitor.

I'm sorry, Kuma...

Oasa isn't feeling well.

Who is the visitor?

A pregnant vegetable seller came by with

vegetables that the young mistress ordered.

This is terrible!

Sis!

Not so loud!

If they found out someone like me was your big sister,

it'll be an embarrassment to you.

You're the big sister I'm proud of.

You shouldn't be carrying all this with your big stomach!

Thank you.

I have a favor to ask you.

I heard that you showed a vegetable seller to the back of the house.

I did, but she looked really refined for a vegetable seller.

She looked refined?

Come on in...

I don't know... Is it okay for me to go inside?

I'll bring you some water.

Come on. Come inside.

It brings back memories of the time we came here together, doesn't it?

Even then, your husband said he had shamisen lessons and he left.

Is something wrong?

No... It looks like your stomach got even bigger.

That's right... I wonder how big it's going to get.

So I... came to ask about Fuyu.

Fuyu?

Fuyu stayed with me even after Sanouji-ya went out of business.

She says she wants to stay and take care of the baby when it comes.

But Fuyu's at a marriageable age, so I feel sorry to keep her with me.

Thank you.

She doesn't have much to wear or enough food to eat.

Once the baby is born, it's going to be even harder on her again...

So won't you let Fuyu work here at Kano-ya?

Fuyu work here at Kano-ya?

I want you to let her work here and

eventually find her a good husband.

So please... Please do this for me.

Raise your head, Sis.

All right. I'll talk to Mother and see if

Fuyu can come, and work for us.

Is it okay?

Of course!

I'm actually worried about you, so I wanted Fuyu

to stay by your side, but...

When I think it's for Fuyu's sake, you're absolutely right, Sis.

Fuyu is adorable, so I'm sure she'll be

popular among the maid servants here.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Asa

I want to thank you, too.

The truth is, I felt as if I couldn't laugh again, but...

Thanks to you, I was able to laugh again.

Did something happen?

No... It's nothing.

I'm sorry... It's not that nothing's wrong, but

for some reason I don't want to tell you right now.

Because you look so radiant.

I'm sorry. It's nothing.

Don't worry about me.

She looked refined...?

Pardon the intrusion.

I'm sorry we couldn't offer you anything.

I have to admit that she's much more refined than our Asa.

You're so right.

But I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.

Sis? Are you okay?

Sis?

What am I going to do?

Your stomach...?

This is terrible! The baby's coming!

What?

Really?

What a surprise!

Sis!
