Speaking of weddings...

Doesn't it bring back memories?

Of what?

That you went to view the autumn colors on our wedding day.

Where's Shinjiro?

He took his shamisen and went to view the autumn colors.

I remember now...

I won't forget it.

In that case, I can't forget either...

That you threw me down on our wedding night.

That was... I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry!

I wondered what would happen to us, but

we managed, didn't we?

That's true.

Chiyo's all ready, too.

You look really nice in that, Chiyo.

I won't ever let you get married.

What a thing for a father to say.

I never imagined that I'd be here to see you get married.

I'm sorry, Oume.

Why are you apologizing?

Apologizing makes it sounds like I resent you because

I'm not married.

I didn't mean that...

It's okay. This is the path I chose.

There'll never be talks of marriage offers

or love affairs for me.

But once in a while when I think of

this person, I feel a little warmth in my heart.

You're still young, so from now on, help Kisuke and

be a good wife to him.

I will.

Which way...?

Over here.

Over here! To your left.

This is scary.

Ready?

You're so beautiful.

Look at her, Chiyo.

She's a beautiful bride.

You really are.

You look good too, Kisuke.

Thank you.

To think... the two of you are go-betweens.

Mistress...

Shinjiro...

Oasa...

Thank you for everything.

Please be good to me from now on.

I'm glad you made it back in time.

What are you doing, Young Master...?

Hurry and come to the reception hall...

The wedding's going to start.

Ume...

He came home.

Head Clerk.

Now that Gansuke's back, it'll be a lively wedding.

That's true.

Let's hurry and go.

Hurry and get ready, Gansuke.

That's scary... You look scary, Kisuke.

Look happier.

Happy...?

What's that?

Kisuke... Smile!

But...

Don't move.

The wedding ended without incident...

And several days later...

You both want to go to Kyushu?

Yes... The chief clerk can come back here,

and let Fuyu and me go to the coal mine.

You're just trying to be considerate.

And besides, I wanted to show Fuyu the mountain.

The mountain?

I want to tell her while we're up there what

you went through to earn the trust of the miners.

Also, I heard that the women in Kyushu

are really nice, and reliable.

I want to learn from them.

I see... If you go up there, I know Kazu

and the others will be so happy.

I'm going there to learn.

I see... It's a turning point for both of you.

That's right.

We'll be happy to send you both off.

Let's close this the Osaka way.

Hands, everyone.

Clap your hands...

Close it once...

Both hands, three times...

Thank you.

This is nice, isn't it?

Cheering on the two young ones.

Young ones?

Kisuke and I aren't that far in age.

Welcome.

Asa's become my regular.

The other day, I brought Chiyo, Ume, and Fuyu,

and we had ice cream.

That's right. It was fun with just girls, wasn't it?

What's going on?

Mr. Godai.

Asa...

Wait for me...

Is it okay? You're here with friends.

They're actually the people I started up the newspaper

with, and they're here on Yukichi Fukuzawa's

recommendation to act as advisors.

We're thinking of starting a school to teach business

in the Chamber of Commerce.

So we're discussing that.

A school? You're going to start a school next?

Yes.

We'll get the children of merchant families together

and teach them management and educate them while

they're still young.

Once we get it started, please come and learn.

Yes, I'll come... Let me learn.

Let me introduce you.

Whenever he's around, I can't compete.

I start thinking that I'm just a fool who

doesn't do anything.

He's so reliable that he takes on too many things.

You have your own good points...

You think so?

What are the two of you talking about?

Nothing.

Making our hearts race...

Making your hearts race?

Mr. Godai... I have a table ready for you upstairs.

Thank you.

I'm going to say "hello" to Mr. Yamaya.

Those two come here together to drink

once in a while.

Mr. Yamaya and my husband?

Shinjiro and Mr. Godai.

Those two?

What a surprise.

I'm leaving now.

Good work.

The money changing side isn't doing too well...

The amount of money isn't comparable to the money

we make from the coal mine.

That's why I think...

You mean a bank...?

There's a national bank already here in Osaka.

Kano-ya can't be left behind.

I'm against becoming a bank.

But...

We just had a talk about a joyous turning point

today, so let's talk about this another time.

Let's do that.

I had one, too.

What?

Something that made my heart race.

I had one...

I had a fiancé already chosen for me, and

I just married into this family...

I thought I never thought of someone that made

my heart race, but...

This... it's the click-click thing.

Try shaking it.

Is it okay?

What a nice sound.

You look good, too.

The first person I loved was...

You, wasn't it?

For me, too.

I don't know how many times I fell in love with you again...

So did I...

And...

Never mind me...

Leave me here, and you and Mom go

and meet her.

Why should I meet her?

She's your fiancée.

That's right. It's been a while, so you should

get a good look at her.

She's fair-skinned and cute just like me.

Welcome.

Kano-ya...

She's waiting for you. Come on inside.

EIZABURO'S FIANCEE SACHI

Doesn't she look like me?

OSAKA MAIHO NEWSPAPER

FUNCTION OF THE NATIONAL BANK

A bank...

Bank... Bank...

Oh my!

Asa's thoughts of opening a bank kept growing day by day...
