(Saito) Sakurako san (Sakurako) 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
(Fueko) well...sir
You were at home for a long time
does it have anything to do with it?
(Tokujiro) your parents are against it?
no, it is my problem
as a matter of fact, a professor from Teikoku (now Tokyo) university
recommended me a position at Navy fuel depot in Yamaguchi prefecture
someone who studies physics, it's an honorable position
the professor told me to concentrate on my studies
next few years
there is no room
for thinking about marriage
(Iso) sir, Sakura chan will graduate music school in 4 years
and you were to wait for her...
I'm afraid the situation has changed, so it is impossible
blood hell!
who do you think you are!
grandpa!
stop it, grandpa! I am so sorry!
idiot!

Fue nechan (older sister)
what?
please let Momo nechan (older sister) to be
an apprentice to a midwife (Momoko) Sakura chan
why do you talk about it now? it's important
okay
as Momo chan wants to be a midwife,
I won't oppose it
thanks
but Sakura chan... good! I am glad
good on you, Momo nechan (older sister) good night
(bird)
want more? want more?
Sakura chan, he wants more!
♬～(piano)
(cat) ah!
I am sorry
I didn't mean to bother you...
excuse me sir
can we go out to eat persimmon together?
Sakurako san I'm a dirty human being
I took the opportunity
please think as if I never existed
Please don't say anything like that
it is perfectly understandable
a scholar wants to further his studies
It is common for a man to "promote" himself
I don't think you a dirty human being
I don't want to think of a man
I fell in love with in that way
♬～
thanks

sir, Sakura chan is having a piano lesson at school now
can't you wait for her till she returns?
I'm afraid I have a train to catch I see
♬～
sir, I return this hat
I thought about throwing it away once,
but I realized it was really for my younger sister, so I kept it
please have a look at this once in a while and think of my younger sister
yes
♬～
thank you for everything

(Nishino) what's the matter? wake up
yes

(Whistle)
aunt, bring everything he left with him
why? you don't need to burn everything today
I must burn them all!
(Yutaro) "bankrupt?"
(Yutaro) onechan (older sister)!
onechan (older sister) run to the station!
Mr. Saito's trading business at home went bankrupt!
he has a huge debt aye! anyway,
I heard at No. 2 normal school where he worked at
it must be the reason he canceled the engagement with you, onechan (older sister),
he didn't want us and you, onechan (older sister) to worry...

(Whistle)
sir...
(Whistle)
sir!
I decided to take a next train
I just wanted to see this river once more
I see
I didn't expect to see you again this is rather embarrassing
I heard you must take care of the debt
sir, Can I possibly come with you?
let me come with you I want to be there for you!
I know there isn't much I can do
You have no idea what assume a debt means
debt collectors come to the house
you can't have a normal life
I'll be fine
how about music school?
well...
I'll give up what are you saying!
don't ever say that again
music is your sun to your life
without the sun, you can't shine
I can see that
let's say good bye with smile
with smile?
I go my way
I must take care of the debt, but I'll try my best to repay it little by little
so please do not ever give up music
it's no good to look back
we both look forward,
maybe we will meet again in the future

do you see that, Sakurako san?

do you understand?

yes

please smile

(Masa) that was the last time to see Mr. Saito in Okazaki
and it was the end of Sakurako's first love
