All language subtitles for Asa Ga Kita Week 17 Ep097 (848x480 x264)

A bank is a place where people
with ambition can turn to for money.

Money changers that don't turn
into banks will eventually all disappear.

You're right about
that, Asa.

Carrying on Tomoatsu
Godai's wishes,

Asa was filled with the desire
to turn their business into a bank.

Thanks to all of you, Kano-ya
has finally decided to

turn into a bank... We'll
open the Kano Bank.

Also, with the establishment
of Kano Bank, we'll turn

our coal mining operation
into a separate company.

Please!

Please be the president of
Kano-ya's new company.

I'm asking you, too.

Please do it.

All right.

In order for all of you to
move ahead in this

Meiji society, if you need
a weak shield like me,

then it can't be helped
I guess I'll do it.

My husband!

I guess it's about time
for me, isn't it?

Will you...

...leave this house with me.

Hello!

Sis!

Asa!

It's been 10 years since Asa
and Hatsu have seen each other.

What a surprise!
Coming here so suddenly!

I'm sorry. I could have
written to you, but

it was a last minute
decision to come.

HATSU'S ELDEST SON AINOSUKE

It sure is big!

Ainosuke!
Don't wander around.

But, Mom! This is much bigger
than the village head's house.

I told you not to
wander around.

You'd better listen!

Yes, I know.

I'm sorry for raising my voice.

She surprised you,
didn't she?

Hatsu who used to
be just like a doll

has turned into a
plucky mom.

That's right. She took all
the spending money

Grandpa gave me.

I'm only holding onto it
until you're an adult.

I hate this... Raising two
mischievous boys has

turned me into a
mom like this.

I think it's nice... Ainosuke's
grown into a cheerful boy.

Let me show you
around the house.

Really? Thank you. I wanted
to see what it's like in here.

No! You can't! I told you
we were leaving as soon

as we greeted them, didn't I?

But Dad said we should
take our time...

Pardon the intrusion.

Okay. Let's go...

The grand mistress asked if you'd
like to have some tea confections.

Really? In that case,
I'll take a little break.

I've been walking without
any breaks all this time.

I'm so tired.

Not you too, Mother!

The grand mistress is happy
to have someone she can

talk to about the old times.

That's right. I want to spend
time and talk to you, too.

I have so many things to tell you
that I don't know where to start.

That's right... Won't you
spend the night here?

Thank you, but I don't
have the time...

Right now, it's not busy, but
when you're growing

oranges, you can't take
even one day off.

But I wanted to stop
by and see you.

Are you Chiyo?

Come here...

That's right. This is my
daughter, Chiyo...

I wanted to see you.

I'm pleased to meet you.
I'm your mom's big sister.

I'm the orange lady...

I'm pleased to meet you.

She's gone.

I wonder why she's
so embarrassed.

So that's your daughter...

But...

You sure have turned
into a fine mother.

That's so true.

What about you? You're a
respectable merchant's wife.

So you came to visit
your father's grave?

It's the 33rd anniversary
of his death, so I just

had to come to
visit the grave.

We should have come for my
father's predecessor's

100th memorial five years ago,
but at the time, I didn't feel

I could face him yet... Beside,
we didn't have the extra funds

to travel either.

Thank you.

I heard Ainosuke graduated from
higher elementary school.

He did. It's not easy to send
two boys to school with just

the income from an
orange orchard...

But he's a really smart boy, so I
wanted him to go to school no matter what.

Even I worked weaving
straw sandals...

You know how to
weave straw?

That's right. My long delicate
fingers are no longer so delicate...

But while I was doing that,
the rich village headman's

wife came to ask if we can
teach her to play the koto.

Wasn't that your specialty?

That's right. So between our
work in the orange orchard,

either Hatsu or I will go over, and
teach her to play the koto.

My goodness.

What are you doing?

I came here earlier to get
my money pouch, but

they just won't
stop talking.

You'll just have to wait
for a chance, and

just run in and grab it.

The other day, I went to the
temple and told my husband

that he can come for
me anytime now,

but there's no sign of him
coming to get me.

Even after your husband
died, I'll bet he must be

popular with all the
heavenly maidens.

Don't say that! Now you've
got me worried.

It's going to impossible
to get it at this rate.

So it seems.

So this is the money
changing business.

This is my desk.

That's where the
chief clerk sits...

What a beautiful desk.

Did my dad work at a place
like this a long time ago?

Of course. Sobei used
to work in the store

from when he was young.

He was known as a really
sharp young master.

I got tired of hearing that.

He sure is brazen... I've never
sat down at that desk.

Come to think of it, I wonder
how Kisuke who used to

sit there, is doing...

He hasn't been back
for such a long time.

Hei-san...?

You don't even
know Kisuke...

I can't take this... It's
no use talking to him.

I finally figured it out.

Figured what out?

That Hei-san is a
genuine miser.

Genuine miser?

That's right.

Look at his books...

He writes in such small letters
from one end to the other...

When he uses tissue for
his nose, he folds it

into four, and uses it four
times, then when it

dries, he uses it three
more times.

He never wastes anything.

Come to think of it,
you're right...

When he has something
to say, he'll say it, but

normally, he'll economize
by just saying "hei..."

Is that why all he says
to us is "hei..."?

That's right.

I see... At first, I thought
he was suspicious, but

if he can control Asa's
daring nature then

it might just be the
perfect balance.

That's true.

Uncle? Does Aunt Asa
work in the store, too?

That's right.

When it comes to the coal
mining business, she's

the actual president.

President?

What are you doing, Asa?

Hurry, and go back
and see Ohatsu.

I thought if I finished this,
I can relax and talk to

her, so I'm rushing
through it, but...

It's done.

Take care of this.

Excuse me.

They're going to talk
for a long time.

She ran away again.

I'm sorry.

Oasa will be here soon.

It's okay. It's been a while
since I've been in such

quiet surroundings, so
I feel a little relieved.

There are six of us in
a small house, and

with two energetic boys, it's
like a festival every day.

I'm always yelling at them
just like Dad used to.

But did we come when
Asa's really busy?

No... It's nothing new to
have Oasa busy with work.

If you hold hack, years could
go by and you'd never get

a chance to talk to her.

Besides, nothing could make
Asa happier than to see you.

It's been a while since I've
seen her look so young.

Is that right?

But I was so surprised.

Chiyo really looks like
Asa, doesn't she?

She does, but inside, they're
totally different.

That's right. She's
totally different.

From the time she was little,
all she does is play with

dolls and play house...
She won't climb trees

or sumo wrestle at all.

She hates frogs
and snakes...

Instead she likes beautiful
kimono and colorful paper.

In other words, unlike Oasa,
she's a normal, adorable young lady.

Is that right?

Ume!

Sorry to keep you waiting.
Where shall we start?

Where shall we start?

What a surprise. She's
totally different from Mom.

She's such a kind person.

Chiyo!

Dad...

You've never met, have you?

This is Ainosuke,
your cousin.

So you're Chiyo...

The other day, Mom came to
Wakayama for the first time.

She did?

Asa and Hatsu still have a lot
more to tell each other.
