"shop difficult back soon Nogiyama"

it must be tough on Sakurako to be counted on people at the shop
(Momoko) Fue nechan (older sister)! Sakura chan!?
she just left now if you go now, you might be able to catch her
I see... that's all right
(Togo) you ran to here that's shame you couldn't see her
I just heard from a soldier at the hospital
the troop Tatsuhiko san was in was sent to fierce battlefield
there was a rumor it was altogether destroyed

please eat well
thank you very much it's been a while to have white rice
they are at certain places please have them
itadakimasu
thank you very much for supporting
my older sister, Kane for the shop so far
my older sister, Kane is
a difficult person even to my eyes
I think you did very well putting up
with her selfishness so far
right, dear! yeah
Sakurako san, you are only
engaged to Tatsuhiko chan
so you are not married yet
in addition to that, you got more and more responsibility
to be honest, it was too much, wasn't it?
not at all
young mistress!
Mr. Nogiyama what do you mean by the shop is difficult?
well... well.. well...
mistress'...
(Kane) Sakurako san you came back so early!
you were into music in Tokyo
you must have forgotten about us?
not at all really?
I heard it Sakurako Arimori arrangement "Hometown"
did you hear that?
it was a job, not just for fun
never mind you are back anyway
please get a plenty of rest today
please tell me what to do
I heard the shop is in difficulty? "the shop is in difficulty?"
says who? am I mistaken?
well, the business is not as good as used to
but we are surviving
and my younger sister, Tane and Toshio san are here
they've been great help
I've just met them
at time like this, it's nice
to have a family support
please consider what Tane says is the same as what I say
yes
(bird)
good morning! good morning!
well...
Sakurako san I'll take care of this, so don't worry
but I was behind the counter so far...
that was till you left
my older sister asked me to be here
as I told you yesterday
there is no need for you to do difficult task
you like music?
yes
then please play the piano as much as you like
I'll tell me older sister
I appreciate your consideration, but I can do that
I have a responsibility too I see
then could you help Taro with his studies?
Taro kun's studies?
he had a private tutor in Toyohashi
we haven't found a good tutor here yet
♬～
mistress may I speak to you?
sure
♬～
you asked Tane san to be behind the counter?
that's right!
I forgot to tell you
so Sakurako san please do something else
I was asked to help Taro kun with his studies
I see so please help him
no big deal
to help with a child's study for a change

2 X 1 = 2, 2 X 2 = 4 2 X 3 = 6, 2 X 4 = 8, 2 X 5 = 10
2 X 1 = 2, 2 X 2 = 4 2 X 3 = 6, 2 X 4...
2 X 4...
let's learn these once again
2 X 1 =2, 2 X 2 =4 it's boring!
hey! I you don't learn the table, you'll be in trouble when you are an adult
let's practice it with me again!
shut up? I hate studies!
!
hey! wait!
♬～
!
ouch!
okay? yep, fine
let's study over there
no way! hey!
young mistress! yes
your back back?
ah!
"dependent"...
♬～
well, Mr. Nogiyama
"the shop is in difficulty" is this it, Mr. Nogiyama?
no, it's much more serious
what is it? it's about Tane san
as soon as she came, she tried to interfere in business
I thought it was fishy
and then she managed to talk mistress into it
now the mistress is under Tane san's control
that's why Tane san is behind the counter that's it
this is between us
a kimono fabric shop they were running
in Toyohashi went bankrupt then they moved in here
despite that, they seem to have lots of money to spend
they are well eaten and dressed
her husband goes out at night for fun
in my opinion, they must be stealing shop's money
really
♬～
the money in the book and in the safe doesn't match
let's check it out when Tane san is not there
okay
♬～
(laughter)
wow! for me? nice cloth
when we were to close the shop,
I kept this for you wow! nice design, isn't it?
nice to have a sister!
we used to fight a lot when we were kids
but you are the person I can count on
(Tane) don't treat me like a stranger!
I count on you too, nesan (older sister)
you let us stay here
it's obvious we must help your business
thanks Tatsuhiko hasn't been back
you are nearby, that's a great support for me
nesan (older sister)
defendant! my mother said
"you are just a dependent"
(Tane) bright colors suit you, nesan (older sister)
Sakurako's life in "Yamacho" has strated again
there seems to be a difficult enemy on her way
