Sis left already?

I didn't get to talk to her about what's important.

That's true.

I'm worried about Sis and Ainosuke.

Never mind about that.

Did Shinjiro tell you about the Kyoto girls' school?

Kyoto girls' school?

We're home.

Dad! Mom and Ainosuke came home!

Ainosuke! Welcome home.

How did it go?

I'm home!

It must have been hard on you.

Welcome home.

So she could learn all these things.

It's a good girls' school, isn't it?

Isn't it?

Maybe while she's learning those things, she might

want to help out with the family business...

Or she might not...

But that's up to Chiyo to decide.

We're not the boatman who gets the boat moving.

We have to become a port that she can look

back on anytime she wants.

I'm more suited to being the boatman.

You mustn't!

It'll be hard for you to become a port.

After all, you hate having to sit still.

You're absolutely right.

But it'll be lonely if she goes to Kyoto.

You have our own boat, don't you?

Now that the bank and the commerce business

is moving along smoothly, people are saying you're

a business woman...

Your daughter's grown up.

That's true...

Where are you headed for next?

I've reached the end right now, so I can't see what's ahead

If you're not with me, I feel like I'll be a ship in distress.

It can't be helped...

The rumor that there were women working inside

Kano Bank spread in no time at all.

Thank you for waiting.

Just as Asa had hoped, inside the bank had

become brighter as if flowers had bloomed.

Kano Bank became more and more popular and

increased the number of customers.

Chiyo...

Will you go to Kyoto with me, and have a look?

What?

I thought we could go to Kyoto to visit, and stop

by that girls school to see what kind of lace it is.

Not you, too, Grandma.

You mustn't let them fool you.

Dad and Mom think I'm in the way so they're using

the girls' school as an excuse to get rid of me.

Your dad and mom are really mean, aren't they?

You know they're not that kind of parents, but your

cute little mouth is made so whenever it comes

to your mom, it says such mean things.

Stop it!

Ainosuke's mom is nice, isn't she?

You mean Ohatsu?

To travel so far to come and take him back home.

I feel like all I've been doing is looking at Mom's back!

What is this?

That brings back memories.

Asa made that puppet doll for you.

This is a doll?

She made it up at the coal mine, and brought it

back home with her...

How old was I?

Maybe about two or three years old.

But you didn't show any interest in that at all...

It would be hard to be interested in this.

I suppose it is.

That's why Asa said we can just throw it out.

But it seemed like such a waste...

Mom really is strange, isn't she?

As a female entrepreneur, I don't have any idea

how great she is, but...

As a mom, she really is inept.

Back then, whenever you cried or laughed, she'd

hug you so tight like this...

Thank you very much.

Welcome.

Take care of this.

Your father's here again today, isn't he?

Yes... I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

It's hard to imagine a formidable wealthy man like Mr. Kudo

looking like a father.

How awful! I'm so embarrassed.

Excuse me.

It's really prospering here.

Welcome! What can we do for you?

Is the proprietor or Shinjiro here?

He insisted on seeing me?

Yes. He said it has to be the bank president or the manager.

Mr. Yorozuya...?

It's been a while, hasn't it?

It really has. It has been a long time, hasn't it?

My predecessor was greatly indebted to you in the past.

That's right.

I heard you've taken over as the eighth generation head...

Nothing good happened to me after the restoration.

YOZAEMON YOROZUYA

People take me for a fool saying that Yorozuya

has fallen really low.

Doesn't he reek of alcohol?

I have a favor to ask you.

It's about money...

Money? We don't lend money unless you have collateral.

But I don't have anything left that would be

considered as collateral.

Couldn't you lend me some money based

on our old friendship?

Based on our old friendship?

I'll never ask another favor.

Bank President... I'll handle this.

Asa...

Who's this woman?

She's my wife.

I'm in charge of loans at this bank.

Shall I listen to what you have to say?

I can't talk to a woman!

Just because a person lost all his money, you don't

have to go to such extremes.

But it's the truth.

Besides, if you're going to get so upset, we

can't talk about money. Please leave for today.

You don't have to tell me... I'm leaving!

What's with this bank...?

Thank you very much.

Shut up!

That day, Yono and Chiyo came back from their

sightseeing trip to Kyoto.

You sure bought a lot of gifts...

Ume...

This is for you.

Thank you.

Kyoto is so lively. We walked all over the place, so my

knees are shaking.

Dad...

I liked Kyoto a lot more than I thought I would.

You did?

Several months, Chiyo decided to enter the girls' school

in Kyoto, so she was moving to the dormitory there.

I'm going now.

Have a safe trip.

Be careful.

Excuse me...

I'm Chiyo Shirooka... I'll be sharing the room with you.

What an unfriendly girl.

Asa.

Shall we go on a trip?

What are you saying?

We both can't take any time off.

That's why we should go.

I made up my mind that once in a while we

should rest when we have the time, and

rest our bodies.

When you think about it, we've been together

for a long time, but we've never gone on a trip together.

We haven't...?

No... The coal mine isn't considered going on a trip.

It's no?

How about going to Wakayama?

We told Hatsu we'd go, and visit soon, and

it's been a while, and we haven't gone yet.

I want to see Sobei...

That's right. I've never met Yonosuke either.

That's a good idea. Let's go.

Okay.

We should bring them some gifts...

Asa and Shinjiro were going on a trip for the first time

since they got married.
