So you talked to Sobei and
the rest of the family

before coming here?

I did. Grandma was
especially happy.

She thought it would
be great if I could

work at a great bank
like Kano Bank.

But growing oranges is
respectable work, too.

When I was suffering,
I don't know how

many times your oranges
saved my mind and body.

Are you sure my sister
gave her permission?

She did... My father chose
a new path rather than

continue as a money
changer that had

been in business
for generations.

So shouldn't a child have
the right to choose his

own path in life, too?

Your own path in life?

Please! From that last time
we were here visiting,

I've always wanted to work
at a big business like this.

Please let me
work here.

All right.

Let me talk it over with
everyone first...

I'm so glad.

But even if we let you
work here, we won't

show any favoritism just
because you're family.

If you're serious about
working, you'll start

off as an apprentice.

Thank you.

It's not good that he
can lie so boldly.

I think that Ainosuke
probably ran away from home.

I suppose. Even if he really
does want to work here,

there's no way that Sobei
and Hatsu would send

him over here without
letting us know first.

You mean you thought
he ran away, too?

Of course...

When I was talking to
him earlier, all he

talked about was how
he longed to work at a bank.

Even if we forced him to
go back home, it would

be terrible if he disappeared
somewhere, wouldn't it?

That's true. I was thinking
we'd let him work here,

and in the meantime,
I'll write to my sister.

That sounds like
a good idea.

The next day, Asa talked it
over with Eizaburo and

Heijuro, and they decided
to let him work as an

apprentice employee
at the Kano Bank.

Can you all stop working
for a minute...?

Let me introduce you...

This is Ainosuke who came
here from Wakayama.

Be good to him.

I'm pleased to meet you.

Put more strength into it.

Okay.

This is no good.

I'm sorry!

Ainosuke!

Come over here.

Will you deliver this
to Yama-ya?

Okay.

Good morning.

Where is Ainosuke going
to be staying?

I thought I'd have him
stay in one of the

rooms here in the house,
so I'm having Ume get

a room ready for him.

That's good. The house
will be even livelier.

He can have breakfast
here with us.

That's true.

Thank you for your
consideration.

I was surprised that he wants
to work at a bank.

Just what you'd expect of a
child born between the

Sanouji-ya and
Imai-ya family.

Rather than farming, he might be
more suited for working here.

Come to think of it, when he
came to visit when he was

little, he was playing with
my click-click thing...

Thank you for the meal.

Chiyo...

She left.

Chiyo's homeroom teacher
asked to see me today.

Her teacher?

She's already in her fourth
year at school, so we

need to discuss what
she'll do after this.

I'm so grateful that she has such
an enthusiastic teacher.

Being in the fourth year of
higher elementary school

is equivalent to today's second
year of middle school.

And this is...

Excuse us.

Come in.

The higher elementary school
that Chiyo is attending.

Your daughter isn't too
eager to learn.

I'm sorry.

But her grades aren't bad.

She especially has high grades
in language and abacus...

The abacus?

That's the first time we've
heard that, isn't it?

Chiyo hasn't said
anything about it.

So what are your plans
for her from now?

Her plans?

What path she'll take
after she graduates...

In other words, what are
your plans for her future?

Plans for her future?

Plans for the future...
I like the sound of that.

You do?

If gives you possibilities
to dream...

When I was her age,
I was forced to train

for my marriage
all the time.

That's true... Your only
path was coming to be my wife.

That's true.

It's time for lunch. Let's
hurry, and eat, so we

can go back to work.

This is the ointment Oasa
told me to give you.

I hope it works on your
mother's neuralgia.

Thank you.

Manager... May I ask
you a question?

What is the most important
attitude someone who

works at a bank should have?

He's asking about attitude...

We can hear our teacher,
Heijuro Yamazaki's

most gracious words.

We all need to hear
it, too, don't we?

Please sit down.

Sit down.

Thank you.

First, don't lie.

But the truth of the matter
is that there are a lot of

people in the banking
business who like to lie.

There are times when
you need to bluff...

But if it's based on lies, and a business
has lies stagnating the relationship,

the value of money will
also lay stagnant.

Five years ago, when I came
to Kano-ya, I thought there

was such a positive
attitude here.

Eizaburo who was in charge,
Gansuke, the assistant

clerks down to the apprentice
all talked to each other

without discrimination, and
there were no secrets here.

Come to think of it,
everyone here

talks a lot, don't they?

There wasn't a person in
the store who didn't

know who the head clerk had
a one-sided crush on...

You mean Kisuke?

Together with the mistress who
worked behind the scenes

with her bold attitude that
left nothing hidden...

The reason I wanted to work
here is because of that

positive attitude where
there were no lies.

The mistress is much
too honest.

I learned this when I went
around getting people

to open savings accounts here...

There was a big commotion over the
abolition of the silver unit in Osaka...

Yes, there was,

A lot of people came storming
to Kano-ya, demanding that

we charge the silver notes to money...
They gathered all the way to the river.

That was a terrible
tame, wasn't it?

So it seems.

Everyone around was at a loss,
but the mistress was the

only one who stayed composed.

We have to take care
of someone who's

sick so we need money.

All right. We'll give it to you.

The mistress and the head
clerk listened carefully to

what the people said and
exchanged the silver

notes for money.

There are a lot of merchants
who managed to survive

because of that.

That's true.

Thank you.

After that, there were a
lot of banks opening,

but they were a lot of people
who opened accounts with

us because they felt they
owed us for what we did.

Is that right?

The most surprising one was...

Goto-ya.

Isn't he one of our
biggest clients at our bank?

Come to think of it, he's
here again today, isn't he?

That's where Oasa had
her dress made.

They're the biggest tailor
in all of Senba.

But Goto-ya used to be just a
small secondhand clothing

store back in the Edo era.

But with the money we paid
them, they started taking

in mending work, and expanded
on that business to become

what they are now.

And with the trend toward
western clothing, their

company will keep growing.

The tradition that the predecessors
preserved for 250 years and the

trust that the new Kano-ya has
maintained added to that

the positive attitude where
there are no lies.

That's what Kano Bank is.

Trust is the most important.

There's nothing stronger
than that.

Kano Bank realty is
great, after all.

Ainosuke?

Chiyo-chan?

You've grow into
a young lady...

That's right... I'm not
your cousin now...

We're not in the same
position now.

Welcome home, Young Miss.

Young Miss...?
Don't be so sarcastic.

How is Aunt Hatsu?

She's fine.

I heard you had a request
to write an essay.

I did.

As a representative of women
in business, they want me

to write about what I think
about doing business.

They want to do a
series of essays.

I didn't learn reading
and writing in school.

No... I like how you
write your letters.

It's easy to understand.

Thank you.

Hei-san told me to accept any
kind of requests that I get.

That way we can save
on advertising cost.

I have to admit that rather
than paying large sums

to put out ads, people will
become more familiar with

our bank if you came forward
to show what kind of person

is running the company.

You think so?

That's right. I overheard
people talking at the

station saying that because
Kano Bank had a woman

working there it was easier
to come into the bank.

Really? So I guess a woman can
come in handy sometimes.

Asa...

What do you want for
Chiyo's future?

I...

Asa was perplexed at the
sudden question.
