(Mitsuko) nice to meet you I'm Mitsuko
my aunt asked me to be here (Sakurako) yeah
(Kane) I asked Mitsuko to look after me
I asked Tane to look after the business
please pack up and leave
you are not Tatsuhiko's wife so there is nothing you can do for us
♬～
(Senkichi) young mistress! where are you going?
♬～
(Iso) what's the matter? you are not staying there today?
taking care of ill patient is tougher than you thought, isn't it?
especially her she is a difficult person
well, never mind just leave her alone for a while
it's not that
what do you mean?
mistress asked for Tatsuhiko's second cousin
Mitsuko san to look after her
she asked Tane san to take care of business I see
she says she feels most comfortable with her family
I see that's good
you were doing your best to support
the shop and take care of Kane for Tatsuhiko san
thinking he is still alive, right?
but without Tatsuhiko san
it is just a burden am I wrong?
it's not true, aunt
I am the one who wants to be with mistress
I want to get closer and closer with mistress
I want to call mistress "mother"
she is Tatsuhiko san's mother after all
Sakura chan
Tatsuhiko san is still alive in me
he is not dead yet
I think mistress feels the same
so if I stay with mistress
Tatsuhiko san is still alive there
the reason I want to stay with mistress might be for myself
am I being selfish?
(Nogiyama) please don't no!
you did it before....
(Nogiyama) mistress!
hello
I wondered who it was.. I didn't want to see you
leave
let me see how you are doing for old classmate sake
here you are thank you very much
I heard from Sakura chan
you asked someone called Mitsuko to look after you?
unlike Sakurako san she is quick-witted and modest
Tatsuhiko should have married Mitsuko in the first place
you made Sakura chan work here and...
I didnt like her from the beginning
it was Tatsuhiko's choice
so I just put up with her so far
ah well
there are things I want you to give her
the scores Tatsuhiko used to use please give these to Sakurako san
they are no use in here
take them as a solatium
and please ask Sakurako san
not to come here ever again
you've already given up on Tatsuhiko chan?
I have no choice
please tell that to Sakurako san as well
she doesn't know when to quit
we all die sooner or later
including myself
if I made Sakurako san to take care of not even mother-in-law till my death
Tatsuhiko would be angry at me
you...
even I want die in peace
I'd be tired if someone I don't even like
took care of me
ah... that means you don't like Sakura chan?
right
you didn't like her but you dealt with her
so far as there was no other choice
is that right? right
ah the shawl you wrap yourself in
isn't it ours by any chance?
that's right what a waste!
return it return
no way this is mine she gave it to me!
Kane the perverse person liar! obstinate!
what are you talking about?
this belongs to Sakura chan's mother, Masa san
she gave you her mother's precious keepsake
what a waste!
Sakura chan was saying
"she wants to be with mistress all the time"
she wants to call you mother even once
be honest with yourself why don't you stop being stubborn?
you are the one who told me
to think about Sakura chan's life
♬～
go...
♬～
go with these!
♬～
these are solatia she must be making a fool of us
♬～
well Kane... she seems to know about her own illness
she wants to die in peace
don't want to be taken care of by someone she doesn't like
I was so angry that I told her
the Masa san's shawl Sakura chan gave her
I said "give it back to me" and she said no
saying "that's hers"
she held the shawl tightly at her chest
she wouldn't return it
that's stingy
heartless and stingy
Sakura chan leave her alone

what are you doing?
I told you not to come here again
didn't you hear that?
mistress I am engaged to Tatsuhiko san
when Tatsuhiko san is back from war zone, we are going to get married
so even if you tell me to leave, I can't do that
I can't break the promise with Tatsuhiko san
you are still talking about that
Tatsuhiko is... and...
I made another promise with Tatsuhiko san
when Tatsuhiko san went to the front he said to me
"look after my mother"
so please let me look after you, mistress
Sakurako san...
one more time just once more time, let's believe
Tatsuhiko san is alive?
when I play the piano here
don't you feel Tatsuhiko san is here?
it's impossible with your unskilled piano
I'll practice
I'll practice to be able to play as good as Tatsuhiko san
when you listened to it next room
you might feel it might be Tatsuhiko
is it impossible?
I can feel
when I am with you, mistress, I feel Tatsuhiko san is alive
mother
♬～
please let me call you mother from now on
♬～
mother!

(cry)

(Masa) it was the day when Sakurako called Kane "mother" for the first time
