Mistress! Could you be...?

Pregnant?

A baby?

What's wrong? What's with all of you?

You're all standing there in a daze.

There is terrible.

What was that?

I'm going to have a baby?

What a surprise!

OSAKA

This is terrible! Just terrible!

Wait a minute, Brother!

Brother!

Is something wrong?

It's a crisis in the family!

It's...

I'm sorry!

Is it true? Asa's...

...having a baby?

It's true! Read this!

She went to see a doctor and there's no mistake

We did it!

I'd given up... Thinking we couldn't have one.

Asa! You did it! You did well.

This is great, isn't it?

You're crying already?

The baby isn't born yet.

Are you crying, too?

I'm so embarrassed.

How's Asa?

If the letter got here, she should be coming home soon.

We have to give her a warm welcome.

And feed her something that's nourishing.

You're so right.

I'm going to buy something.

It's really raining hard.

Whenever there's something that makes me happy it always rains.

This is my tears of happiness.

What's wrong? We just got such happy news,

and you're the only one looking like that.

No... I think it's a blessing...

Don't lie.

Don't tell me you're still in love with Shinjiro?

Excuse me.

Wait a minute, Fuyu!

Head Cleric!

Young girls are complex, aren't they?

When you're young, it's like a fever, so once

a fire is lit in your heart, the more the people

around you try to put it out the stronger it burns.

I see...

Seems like it happened to you, too, didn't it?

Getting a fever.

That was a long, long time ago.

Since I went to work for the Imai family nothing

like that happened to me.

What a waste...

A waste...?

After they heard that Asa was pregnant,

the whole store was celebrating.

There's nothing more auspicious than this

Shinjiro was always out playing around and

the young mistress who was always working...

I thought they were never a real married couple.

What are you saying?

There isn't a married couple who gets

along better than they do...

That's why men are no good.

You're right.

Is it true that your daughter-in-law is having a baby?

You know about it already?

The rumors are flying.

So that daughter-in-law of yours is finally...

Your husband must be so happy.

Of course!

Excuse me...

We were just talking...

Actually, my daughter-in-law is...

I'm going to be a daddy?

I'm going to be a grandpa.

I can't wait!

However, even after some time passed, Asa still didn't come home.

What's going on?

I don't know...

Kano-ya, I have a letter.

Thank you.

What did Asa say?

It says she'll be right home after she

takes care of business.

That's all.

Is she still working?

What is she doing?

Asa's love for her work is a problem, isn't it?

What is that?

KANO COAL MINE

Since my body doesn't do what I want it to...

I thought I'd do something in between work.

You shouldn't be doing that.

Just rest.

But having a baby isn't an illness.

What are you saying?

Having a baby is more life-threatening than

having an illness.

It's a big deal for the baby to be growing

inside of you, so don't take it lightly.

Don't worry. I'm confident that my body is strong.

And besides once my body gets big, I won't

be able to do things like this.

I have to do what I can while I can.

Kisuke... Thank you for the newspaper.

Wait a minute!

Young Mistress... Wait!

You have hurry back to Osaka.

Or I'll be scolded again.

But...

There's something strange going on

with Satoshi's group, after all.

I'm glad that they re working hard now,

but I still feel like there's something going on

Like what?

I may be imagining things, but...

Once that's settled, I'll go home.

Okay?

Once that mistress can't come out here anymore,

it's going to make it easier for us...

But...

I still can't imagine it...

Asa...

Ume sent me a letter to let me know that

you're going to have a baby.

Congratulations.

I'm sorry I can't be with you at an important time like this.

We're finally getting used to our new way of life.

My second son Yonosuke is growing quickly and

Ainosuke is getting to more manly...

And he's running around the mountain with

the other children here.

Mom! Look at that.

What is it?

It's gone! There was a white snake over there.

Really?

Snakes are scary, aren't they?

No, they're not.

They say that white snakes bring happiness...

I'll help you.

Speaking of the devil.

What?

I'm going to look for it again.

Why are you looking at me, and laughing?

Here.

Your new way of life will be starting, too.

Please take good care of yourself, and give

my regards to Shinjiro, and your father and mother.

From your sister.

P.S. It wasn't that bad for me, but when Mom

gave birth to us, her morning sickness was so bad that she

felt like she would die before she gave birth to us.

You may have inherited that trait, too, so

please be very careful...

And do your best, Asa.

This is bad news.

I don't have anything...

She still hasn't come home, has she?

What is Asa thinking anyway?

She just got pregnant, so it's an important

time for the baby.

You're so right.

I can't take this any longer!

Isn't there someone here who will go and bring her home?

But...

Ume? Will you go?

Asa will listen to you, so hurry and bring her back home.

But how am I supposed to get there on these legs?

All right.

I'll go.

Shinjiro!

Shinjiro?

It's okay, isn't it, Dad?

No... You're the eighth generation head.

I don't mind.

This is important to our family.

Please go, Brother.

I'm counting on you!

Leave it to me!

Bring her home even if you have to drag her home.

I know, Mom.

I'll be going.

We're counting on you.

We'll be going.

Hurry back!

I've never seen Shinjiro look so manly.

THEY ARRIVED IN KYUSHU

Are you sure this is the right path?

It's the right path.

There's a gnat.

The rice is ready!

This is no good. This is bad.

Are you okay, Young Mistress?

See? Didn't I tell you?

Mistress!

I really hate this! I feel so sick!

Asa?
