(Tatsuhiko) "it's the time for me to go to war overseas
I am allowed to go out till 8pm on the 9th,
I hope to see you on that day"
(Masa) Kane went shopping
for the ingredients for Tatsuhiko's favorite "Kano Koyose"
Sakurako waited for that day repairing for
Tatsuhiko's favorite records and polishing the piano
(Kane) hello (clerk) hello
(Nogiyama) wow! really? that's great to hear
the day after tomorrow yes, we'll be there thank you very much
what is it?
it was from the Department of the Navy in Tokyo mistress and young mistress visited
the navy will
purchase our miso as a trial!
they might even supply soybeans
really!?
we were turned down at that time I wonder why?
I heard miso went bad in a submarine out at sea
lieutenant commander Omura remembered the words by young mistress
"Hacho Miso in Okazaki has less moisture and rot-resistant"
great! well done!
for the business talk, they want us
to be there in Tokyo first thing in the morning the day after tomorrow
the day after tomorrow?
(Nogiyama) ah... that's the day the master comes back...
No, we can't go on that day
(Nogiyama) but mistress! we won't have another opportunity like this again!
Tatsuhiko is coming back the day after tomorrow!
(Sakurako) I'll go Mr. Nogiyama, will you come with me?
aye?
but... you want to see Tatsuhiko too?
if we leave tomorrow and meet them first thing in the morning, we should make it
I can see Tatsuhiko san as well
are you sure about that? yes, I'll take care of it
(Nogiyama) good! good!
the day Tatsuhiko comes home
(Tatsuhiko) I am back!
young master! (3 people) hello
Hello! Tatsuhiko!
there is your favorite "Kano Koyose" there
there is chilled watermelon too or would you like to take a bath?
ah... Arimori?
I wrote to her to wait for me here
(Senkichi) young mistress is out for a business meeting in Tokyo
a business meeting?
I couldn't make Hacho Miso any longer...
there was a time we might have to close down the business
young mistress saved us
from crisis
young mistress worked so hard
to protect the workers after you joined the army, master
and...
with these beans...
young mistress said "prepare Hacho Miso"
and look after a barrel made from these no matter what
♬～(record)
he is late
we've been waiting here for an hour
true
(door open)
(soldier) I am sorry
lieutenant commander is running late
as the meeting is taking long please wait a little longer
♬～(record)
young mistress...
young mistress!
yes
please go back earlier, young mistress
I'll take care of this somehow if you don’t go back now, you won't be able to see master
if Tatsuhiko san was in my shoe, he wouldn't leave here
without taking care of the business, would he?
I am here on behalf of Tatsuhiko san
nice to see you again, sir
(Oomura) sorry to kept you waiting
let's discuss the details yes, sir
Thank you very much, sir
it was tasty these "Kano Koyose" too
really? nothing like Otami's, but
my dishes aren't too bad, are they?
it's about time to go now
how about Sakurako san?
don't you have to wait for her?
I don't have time I must go back to the regimental at once
Tatsuhiko
do you hate me?
why?
she should have stayed here
and I should have gone to Tokyo
that's not true
this isn't the last
you are right
this isn't the last, is it?
Tatsuhiko...
(cry)
(Ofumi) mistress!
Tatsuhiko san? Tatsuhiko is at Okazaki station!
you must have passed each other on the way!
run for it! you'll make it! yes!
good luck!

thanks, about the business
not at all
don't work too hard
there is no need for you to worry about saving the business
I know
but it wasn't the reason
I have an additional family
mistress, Mr. Nogiyama, Senkichi san and Kiyoshi kun
I feel they are all like a family
I did my best for them
I see
(whistle)
I want to ask you something, Arimori
what?
can I call you Sakurako?
is that all?
yep, okay
Sakurako
