That group leader... What's his name?

His name is Satoshi.

Satoshi! What's wrong?

Sorry, but when I see such a carefree rich man like

that, it just disgusts me.

But that's going to end soon.

What do you mean by that?

I'll show them.

I'm going to make it so they can't run this mine anymore.

What did you say?

Nothing! Get out of the way.

If you stand there, the rocks will fall and crush you.

At the time Asa continued suffering from nausea

without knowing what Satoshi had in mind.

The next day...

Be careful.

I'm sorry... I don't think I'll be coming for a while,

but please take care of things.

Don't worry! Just leave things to me.

I hope you have a healthy baby.

Do your best, Asa!

Boss... Kazu... And everyone else.

Thank you.

Boss Lady!

Do your best.

Have a healthy baby.

Thank you, all of you.

Thank you.

The workers here are all like your family, aren't they?

My husband...?

Is something wrong?

Can't you do something about that nose?

I'm sorry... If I'm smelling the orange then at least,

the smell of your hair oil doesn't bother me.

I guess it can't be helped then.

Shall we go?

Kisuke... I know you'll be lonely here by yourself,

but please do your best.

I'll tell Fuyu how reliable you are.

All right.

Kisuke. Take care of things.

We're counting on you.

Shinjiro... Young Mistress... Just leave it to me.

So Asa left the coal mine in Kyushu and went

back home to Osaka with Shinjiro and Ume.

OSAKA

Several days later...

They arrived hack at Kano-ya in Osaka.

We're back!

Welcome home!

What's wrong?

We'll talk later.

Hurry, and lay out her bedding.

Right away.

Asa's back?

What's wrong?

It's morning sickness.

No matter what she eats, she throws up.

You know a good acupuncturist, don't you?

Kano! Hurry, and get him over here.

All right.

We're home now Asa. You'll be okay now.

You'll be okay.

Oasa!

Asa's morning sickness continued for over a month.

Until the season was about to change...

And she finally started feeling a little better.

I put on her maternity belt.

So we got through the maternity belt ceremony.

For a while, I wondered what would happen...

I was so worried.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

But don't overdo it yet.

It's not just your body anymore.

I'm going to do as he says.

You're being very obedient today.

This really made me think...

I thought I had a strong body, but...

I had to go through that much suffering...

The unborn baby is probably telling me not to be so

suite of myself.

That's encouraging.

Sounds like a smart baby.

That's why... I won't overdo it anymore...

I'll do that after the baby is born.

Oasa!

She hasn't learned her lesson at all.

It's just like Asa, but...

Everything in moderation.

My amulet... Where's my amulet?

Lately, there are a lot less people wearing topknots.

It's been five years since people started wearing

the cropped haircut.

In foreign countries, they call the topknot a pig's

tail, and they get laughed at.

How rude!

But when it starts to get hot like this,

I envy people with that refreshing haircut.

Kano!

Coming!

This smells so good.

Refreshing...?

Also, from the Imai family in Tokyo...

They sent all this?

It's from the mistress.

Right now the master and Tadatsugu are

so busy with the preparations to open the bank that

they can't come out here.

So she sent all of these good medicine for you.

The bank... So the Imai Bank that Dad dreamed of

is finally becoming a reality, isn't it?

Once Mr. Imai opens his bank, then the other

money changers will start to change into banks

one after another... That's the trend.

A bank?

The truth is from three years ago, Asa was

asking me about changing Kano-ya into a bank.

A bank!

Bank?

That's right. A bank.

Sis... The bank that Dad is starting is a place that

will lend money to people who have ambition.

That's right, she did...

To be honest, Kano-ya just has a sign that

says we're a money changer, but we're not making any

money at all, are we?

We're managing to get by on the earnings

from the coal mine... As we all know...

If we want to continue in the money business

that's been in our family for generations, then

does that mean well have to become a bank?

That decision is up to you two.

Gansuke...

What do you think?

It's true that a money changer doesn't fit into this era.

But lending money to people with ambition...

Who would believe something that sounds so suspicious?

I think that banks are just a phase we're

going through, and won't last long.

We don't have to force ourselves to turn into

a bank, and just find a good way to continue

as money changers.

You're right. I think so, too.

Mr. Godai keeps saying that banks are just a

new form of money changers, but it's the way of thinking

of someone who came back from abroad

I don't think that Japan will accept banks that easily.

What do you think, Shinjiro?

That people won't accept something from foreign countries that easily...

I thought that foreign things had nothing

to do with us, but...

If it's something good, we have to accept it.

Are you saying we should turn into a bank?

No... Either way is fine with me.

Wait a minute!

Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and

whether it takes after me or after Asa, is

the same with the idea of becoming a bank...

Either way is fine with me.

I won't find fault with anyone, so I'll leave

the decision up to you, Gansuke and Asa.

How could you...?

Asa still feels sick when she's hungry, so if

you're going to talk to her, do it when she's full.

See you later.

Why does Shinjiro hate to talk about business?

I thought he'd change a little now that he's having a baby...

Eizaburo! You should come with me, after all.

You, too, Gansuke.

Oasa... I'll do that.

Thank you... I can do this much now.

And they say that if you do a good job

cleaning, you'll have a beautiful baby.

Oasa...

Mr. Godai is here.

Mr. Godai?

I'm sorry. Eizaburo and my husband

are both out right now.

I wonder where they went.

No, it's okay. I'm glad.

I heard you were too sick to get up...

But you're looking mush better now.

I can't go to the meeting room.

What are you saying?

Having a baby and raising it will benefit the country

as much as starting a new business.

Is that true?

Yes. But it's hard to imagine that you're

going to be a mother.

I still don't believe it myself.

When I looked at my sister I thought

that pregnant women have such a kind

look on their faces...

But for me, it's just the opposite.

What about you Mr. Godai? What are you doing now?

Do you remember the rice exchange that we saw together?

The Dojima rice market that had flourished

back then is no longer as bustling now.

For the sake of Osaka's economy, I need to

get it started again.

Right now I'm working with other people

to get that going.

That sounds wonderful.

Hearing about that makes me itch to get moving.

There's no need to rush...

Right now, you don't have to think about work or about money.

No matter how hard you work, people will die

eventually and you cant take the money with

you to the grave.

The problem is what you can leave to the next generation.

What you can leave to the next generation?

That's Ume's voice.

I wonder what happened.

What's wrong, Ume?

Shinjiro... And Eizaburo...

And the head clerk, too!

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's...

Shinjiro!

What is this?

How refreshing!
