Episode 33
What's the problem?
I teach Oshin after she's done with her chores.
Oshin's a babysitter. There needs to be limits set.
She's a human being!
It's our responsibility as her employers that we teach her.
It's not that I'm going against your wishes.
It's just that we don't feel right about Oshin studying alongside our Kayo.
That's right.
We have to consider Oshin's background.
Besides she has a bad reputation back home.
What if she teaches Kayo the wrong things?
If you favor Oshin it'll go to her head.
We don't want her to become too familiar with Kayo.
You two are worried about such nonsense?
Kayo's much more stable than either of you!
Mother.
Oshin's caused Kayo to think about different things.
She used to only think about herself until now.
She's realized that there are people other than herself.
It's all very good medicine for Kayo!
Do you know how to count?
Yes.
I can add and subtract.
How about you?
Yes and I can do multiplication.
What's that?
Recite it for me.
Two times two is four. Two times three is six.
Two times four is eight. Two times five is ten.
Two times six is twelve. Two times seven...
I haven't learned that yet. Who taught you?
Shunsaku taught me.
Who's Shunsaku?
Good. If you know that you can use the abacus.
At school you calculate with pencil and paper.
For a merchant the abacus is the key to everything!
Once you learn the abacus you'll never have trouble in life.
So learn it well.
Let's practice. Clear the board first.
Here we go.
One plus one is... two.
Understand?
Now... What's two plus two?
Can you do it?
- It's four. - Correct.
This ball on top stands for five.
Okay next. What's five plus four?
- Nine. - That's right.
Watch me carefully.
When all the balls are used up in a column
the next column will represent the ten's place.
Got it?
Five plus seven is... Like this!
Four plus eight is...
That's too hard!
I can do that!
Let's try it again.
Six plus seven.
Good! You both got it.
Let's have a race!
Oshin...
Just because the old madam is good to you
don't ever think that you're Kayo's equal.
Turn this way.
An employee will always be just an employee.
You mustn't forget that.
Kayo is your master. She's not your friend.
It's best if you start turning down
the kind offers the old madam makes to you.
Don't make the young madam angry.
There's no need to ask for trouble.
You want to quit your lessons?
I didn't know you were such a coward.
I'm sure the young madam said something to you.
But you'll never amount to much if you let it bother you.
I want to train you so that you'll be able to make it through life on you own.
You already know what poverty is.
You have to prepare for your future so that you'll never experience it again.
You'll have to know how to read write and to use the abacus.
Hang in there!
Don't worry about silly things. You have to want it all.
Do you understand?
Kuni's words struck home. She didn't want to remain poor.
She wanted to be able to make it on her own.
Oshin continued her studies despite Omino's cold looks.
Then one day...
- Welcome home! - Come with me.
They're putting up electricity pylons!
The pylons bring electricity to houses and they're big!
How do these pylons carry electricity?
It's dangerous. Stay back!
Where does electricity come from?
I told you it's dangerous! Stand back!
What does it look like? Does it flow like water?
Watch out!
Back off!
Kayo!
These pylons carry electricity!
Come over here!
Watch out!
Get out of the way!
Get away!
Are you all right?
Go get Dr. Sato!
Hurry!
What happened?
Young madam!
Omino... Omino!
- Bring some sake. - Yes!
Omino...
Young madam!
Mother!
You idiot! You caused her a fright!
She's just a child. Mino just overreacted.
Kayo...
- Kayo. - Mother!
I'm so glad you're safe.
Are you okay?
Oshin are you hurt?
I'm fine.
You protected Kayo.
If not for Oshin Miss Okayo would have been crushed!
People were all praising Oshin for what she did.
I'll sue the electric company!
Don't be silly.
It's her fault for going where it was dangerous.
Why are you crying? Are you hurt?
She's crying because it was her fault!
Did you thank Oshin?
There's no need to thank me.
I'm sorry I pushed you down! You must have been surprised.
Oshin thank you!
I saw the whole thing. I thought Kayo would surely die.
She was too frightened to get out of the way.
She was just standing there.
If it hadn't been for you...
Kayo wouldn't be here.
You saved Kayo's life.
I guess it was fate that brought you two together.
Please continue being a good friend to her.
Mino began to look upon Oshin with kindness.
Electricity came to Kaga-ya soon after that.
It's lit!
It's so bright.
I'm blown away.
How does electricity get here?
Well through the wires.
The wires are so thin. How does it pass through?
I guess electricity is very little...
The electric lights seemed very bright to Oshin.
The Kaga-ya family was happy too.
Oshin felt bright and cheerful too.
She'll never forget the day the lights came.
Soon Oshin had her first New Year at Kaga-ya.
Open it.
The young madam had it made for you.
Go on. Take a look.
Look Oshin! We match now!
To thank you for what you did.
You and Kayo can both wear these for the New Year.
I'll buy you both obi sashes too.
You and Kayo will have the exact same sets.
We can wear this to go to the temple on New Year's Day.
Try it on.
Oshin couldn't believe it. She felt guilty about being so happy.
She had little in the way of happiness before.
It was all a little frightening to her.
Thanks to Avallac'h and XrayMind at D-Addicts.
