Chiyo... You...

Won't you go to girls' school in Kyoto?

What?

But I told you I would rather train to be a bride instead

of going to school!

A girls' school isn't a place only for girls who want

to become working women to learn.

The Ministry of Education says that what's most

Important is an education that gives weight to

ethics, morals manners and etiquette.

The Kyoto Girls School is the most well-known

school in Kamigata, and they especially emphasize learning

household duties and sewing.

I know that there are a lot of girls who make

good wives even though they have no education.

But, Chiyo...

Right now, you don't have the capacity or the kind

of determination it takes.

What do you mean by "capacity"?

It means... Like your mom who never

talks about someone behind their backs...

That's true.

But it might just he that she's not the

type who could do it.

That's true, but with just that one capacity, I can

respect my wife.

It's a big world outside.

Rather than just living here in Osaka, complaining all

the time, how about going to a different place, and

trying to find a new way of looking at things?

Thank you for the meal.

She left.

Five yen 75 sen...

One yen 30 sen...

Three yen 60 yen...

What was that about?

Even Dad is taking Mom's side now.

Chiyo?

Aunt Hatsu!

Good morning.

You're looking like a fine young lady now.

By any chance, are you going to school?

Yes, I am.

So you dress so adorably to go to school...

Is that Asa's voice?

What are you doing here, Aunt Hatsu?

Are you here to see Ainosuke?

Ainosuke!

How awful! By any chance, did Ainosuke run away from home?

Shinjiro? Are you serious about putting Chiyo in

that Kyoto girls' school?

Yes. When I checked into it, I found a good one.

But she can't go to school in Kyoto from here?

Where is Chiyo going to live?

At the school's dormitory.

She'll be eating and living together with girls her own age...

There's no way that Chiyo can live in a dormitory in Kyoto!

Aren't there girls schools in Osaka?

There are, but while Chiyo is always saying

how she hates her mom, she's always conscious

of Asa, and if she says anything, she gets angry and irritated.

Even though Asa can't compare to you, she's

done her very best to raise Chiyo, too.

I hope that feeling gets through to Chiyo someday.

But it'll be lonely.

Now you can get to Kyoto right away by train.

When she has a break, she can come home.

And when you have a mind to, you can just

go and visit her.

She found me.

I wonder what happened.

It looks like someone's here to get him.

Sis!

Asa... Thank you for the letter.

No... I thought maybe I was worried for nothing...

No... I had no idea he was here with you.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Not at all. It wasn't any trouble for us.

Ainosuke... If you ran away from home,

you should have been honest and told us that from the beginning.

I'm sorry, but it's true about Grandma saying that it was

a good idea when I talked to her about it.

Mother did?

Grandma... I want to go to Osaka and learn about business.

You would have actually been the heir to Sanouji-ya, the

top merchant in Osaka.

So you should go.

Mother never said a word to us.

I learned how to use the abacus and arithmetic

in school, but actually working in a real business will be the

best way to learn.

Aunt Asa even built a classroom where you

can learn business...

For now, let's go home right away.

We have to go home as soon as we can.

At a busy time like this, what good is it for

two of us to be here?

We need your help...

I don't want to.

I want to learn about business here.

No! Let's go home.

No! I'm not going to spend the rest of my life on that

mountain growing oranges.

You can say anything you want to me...

But if you ever say what you just said right now

in front of your dad again...

I won't forgive you.

Excuse me... Oasa...

Hei-san said it's time to open the bank.

That's right. I'm sorry, Sis. It's time to open the bank.

No... I'm sorry for coming so early in the morning

and involving you in our family quarrel.

I'm sorry I can't be of help...

Hurry, and go!

After we open the hank, I'll come right back.

I'll see you later.

You, too!

I'll see you later.

Five minutes before opening.

Is this the women's uniform?

You all look good in it.

Thank you, Bank President.

We're counting on all of you from today.

Are we all ready?

Kano Bank's morning will begin.

Welcome!

What a surprise!

Does this bank have female workers?

Welcome! They're starting from today.

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask.

Sakae...

This way, please.

It's their first day, but they certainly are

very businesslike, aren't they?

It's so nice to see men and women working together.

Thank you for waiting... This way, please.

He's here to do a withdrawal.

Mom... I...

...want to work like Aunt Asa.

After working here for days, I realized

that rather than growing oranges, I want to do this kind of work.

Ainosuke...

I'm sorry I said bad things about oranges, but

I want to work in Osaka.

Don't you remember Grandma was always

saying that our family used to be a money changer

called Sanouji ya...?

I'm the son of Sanouji-ya.

So dreaming of being a merchant...

Sanouji-ya ended a long time ago...

I'm sorry, Ohatsu.

I forgot my Hariko making tools here.

Where could it be?

I found it! Here it is.

So you found it! I'm so glad.

I'm sorry.

Not at all. I'm sorry for intruding...

What are you saying? You're not intruding.

You were born in this house.

That's right.

I'm so indebted to you for that...

Not at all... Like I told you that time,

I think of you and your son as part of this family.

Then you'll let me live here?

That would be good.

Chiyo might be going to Kyoto.

So if you stayed here, I'd be so happy.

That's what I'd like to say, but I don't think

Asa will allow it.

Now that she knows that you deceived your

parents and came here...

I don't think she'll let you set foot in the bank again.

Don't you agree?

That's true. What Asa has earned on from her

predecessor is that trust is the most important thing.

I'm sorry.

Go home once, and talk it over with your father,

grandpa and Okiku, then after going through

the proper channels, you can come back again.

Thank you so much, Grand Mistress.

Kano Bank is great, isn't it?

Just what you'd expect.

Ainosuke! Hurry!

Sis left already?

She said they have work to do.

She said to thank you for all you've done.

How could she...!
