Autumn 1937 ♬～(piano)
(Masa) it's been 2 months
since Sakurako and Mr. Saito have engaged
it is well into autumn,
Sakurako has been practicing her piano even harder
♬～
(Sakurako) excuse me (Saito) yes?
can you leave me alone?
it's too embarrassing to concentrate on my practice
ah, yes sorry about that
Mr. Saito
this is a nice city
isn't it boring compare to Tokyo?
not at all I like it
I really like it
sir shall I treat you with the best food in Okazaki?
aye?
♬～
Sakurako san, that's enough! please come down!
that's all right I'm used to it
the persimmon from this tree is the best, it's sweet and tasty
I'll pass it to you please catch
ah, yea! !
ah, sorry that's okay I'm used to it
(Fueko) did you climb the tree, Sakurako?
yep, the persimmon from upper tree is sweet and tasty
they get lots of sun well, you are like a mountain monkey!
a young lady is acting up (Iso) well, Sakura chan
only wanted Mr. Saito to eat the tasty persimmon right?
it was really tasty
Mr. Saito are you sure she is right for you?
yeah please don't scold her too much
(post man) Miss Arimori, telegram I'll get it coming!
(Momoko) sir, some more? yes, please
thank you very much
(post man) does Naomichi Saito live here?
here you are
thank you very much
I have urgent business to go to Tokyo
today? sorry
ah, sir!?
what's the matter?
♬～
see you
♬～
sir!
♬～
Mr. Saito left without telling what the urgent business was
♬～
there was no word from Mr. Saito for a few days
and Sunday morning
I wonder how Mr. Saito is
Sakura chan, how about calling his home in Tokyo?
right no, I don't think so
if there is something, he'll contact us
thanks for the meal! it's time to practice piano
(knock on the door) ah! Mr. Saito is back
welcome back!
(Kawahara) sorry it took me so long
here you are
would you care to return?
it's too much for me to take care of selfish mother
we had a maid, but she quit right away
well, Momoko you are the only one can manage
you say things like that, and make Momo nechan (older sister) work so hard again
if that's all you can say, you must leave
I don't want a divorce
I don't want a divorce!
sorry folks can we talk alone somewhere?
♬～
is Momo chan all right? I'm scared if Mr. Kawahara
may talk her into it
there is nothing we can do
whatever happens will happen
in the end, she is the one who decides...
♬～
I don't think you want a wife?
I think the only important person for you is your mother, so you and your mother
hire a maid
is the best
she is not my real mother! I am an adopted child
I never thought my mother was important or liked her
my life is about to do my best to my mother...
just to save the family
so you wanted
someone who would wait on you as well, right?
If I heard your honest feeling a little earlier,
I might be able to put up with it,
but it's too late
♬～
please give me a divorce I won't return to Kawahara household
good bye
♬～
go
♬～
go!
♬～
(Yutaro) don't worry she'll be back
well Momo nechan (older sister) is too kind...
(sigh)
I'll go and get her
Momo nechan (older sister) I'm home
great! Momo nechan (older sister)
that's too much I was just out
but I really worried about you
ah! Momo chan welcome back welcome back
I'm back
let's go in! yep
and Momoko also
has started to think about her career
a midwife?
Momo nechan (older sister) you want to be a midwife?
bad idea? I don't think so, but why?
because of you, Sakura chan.
Sakura chan, you are always doing your best towards your music
I learned I can't depend on others
to make me happy
I see. I'm on your side! thanks, but...
the problem is Fue nechan (older sister) and grandpa... right?
a midwife!? (Tokujiro) a midwife!?
May I?
why, all of the sudden?
Sakurako wants to go to music school and then you
if she can become an apprentice to a midwife,
she can study as she works for a year and if she passes the exam,
she can work
as an assistant to a midwife right away
well, Momo chan yeah
why midwife in the first place?
that's good suitable for her
Momo chan, midwife (Fueko) aunt!
Momo chan has always like small animals,
and good at taking care of them. she was there for Miiko's birth
cat and human are different story! ah
(Saito) I'm back (Yutaro) ah!
that voice...
welcome back!
welcome back hello
welcome back, sir
(Fueko) how was your mother back home?
we thought we had to go and visit
her soon
that's right Sakura chan will be there
about that...
Sakurako san yes
everyone (everyone) yes
It's very selfish of me and I am sorry
would you reconsider our marriage?
what? I'd like to cancel it
♬～
Sakurako was so surprised to find
Mr. Saito's sudden change of his mind
