Thank you.
Kentaro... Sakura-chan...
Be happy forever!
We will!
Sakura and Kentaro-kun's parents had agreed to their marriage, but...
Um... Shoichi-san... Kimie-san...
Kentaro-kun, there's one very important thing we need to discuss.
Ah...
What is it?
Sakura... is the Bando family's sole daughter.
Yes.
If Sakura leaves to be his wife...
...the Bando family will come to an end.
That's true, but...
In a marriage, it's normally the woman who enters the man's family, isn't it?
Yeah.

Look, because there were just us two sisters in my family...
...that's why Norio-san came into it.
He did so to save the Bando family name.
That's true, isn't it?
Hey, look...
That's one tough problem, isn't it?
Um... Sorry for butting in...
But isn't that way of thinking a bit old-fashioned?
Old-fashioned?
"Which family should they join..."
Does it matter which one we go to?
The point is whether the two people getting married will be happy or not.
That has nothing to do with this.
What is called "marriage" is an issue between the two families involved.
Since ya cant's settles dat here...
...how's about eatin' before it gets cold?
True enough. Itadakimasu.
Yum! Ryu-chan, this is really delicious.
You've got some great skills at this.
Whaa! I'm so happy.
Since today... I have a lot of things to think over...
...you'll excuse me, okay?
Kimi-chan...
I'm sorry.
I... have a good idea.
A good idea? What is it?
I'm fine with marrying into the Bando family...
Wait... Kentaro, what are you saying?
Both I and Sakura feel the same.
Nowadays it doesn't matter if the woman joins one or the man does.
So whichever one we join is...
Kentaro!
Mom, from here on the world will increasingly...
I don't want to hear that!
Don't say anything more...
As for me, since I took Isoya-san's place at inheriting it from his daughter...
...it would just be impossible for me to now go and allow the Bando name to die out.
Sumire, I'm sorry.
I've felt bad about that all this time.
I selfishly fell in love and in the end, forced all this on you Sumire, the next daughter.
I truly am sorry.
What are you saying?
My having met Norio-san has brought me happiness.
I feel glad about that from the bottom of my heart.
Sumire...
Norio-san. Sumire. Truly, thank you very much.
Yuri-san, please stop.
Onee-chan.
Even so... this is difficult, isn't it?
At our age, I can understand how the two of you feel...
But I can understand Sakura's feelings, too...
Are you saying that seriously?
When you were born, both your Grandfather and your Grandmother...
...were truly pleased.
"A healthy boy was born," they said. And yet, you...
Even though the family has a boy, to have him bring an end to the Murata family...
I just cannot allow such a thing.
Kimie...
Just how sad would she be if your Grandmother were still alive...
I wonder what's happening?
Right?
At Sumire-chan's place and at Kimi-chan's place.
I can understand how both families feel, but...
Which of them will have to give in?
I'm back.
Welcome back.
We're back.
Are Aunt Yuri-chan and Uncle Kiyoshi-chan doing well?
Yeah. They're both doing well.
I see.
Anyhow, I'll just say this.
Sakura, you'll continue the Bando name.
Don't selfishly decide that.
It has nothing to do with it being a selfish decision. This was decided long ago.
Since there's no one else but you, Sakura.
And if I said I won't continue it?
Then your marriage to Kentaro-kun will be wiped away clean.
"Wiped away..."
Then at that time...
...I will find a marriage partner for you, Sakura.
You're terrible!
Sakura!
Leave her be, Sumire.
Can't be helped. We have to protect what we have to protect.
Thank you.
Kimi-chan.
When Ryu was little and I was suffering because he wouldn't listen to me at all...
...Sumire-chan said this to me, didn't she?
"All of us will raise him."
At that time I felt that us and Kiaris...
...were like one big family.
Yes.
I can't meddle in what's going on right now...
...but I do have to wonder if whatever happens will affect the bonds we share or not.
Yo.
Um, Kiyoshi-kun.
Kiyoshi-san.
I heard you were here.
Welcome.
Oh, father and son working together, huh?
It happened in a way that I still don't understand.
Still, that's okay.
Dad's envious of me.
You're a fool!
Thanks for waiting.
Oh...
Eat up.
I'll have it.
Oh!
How's Sakura-chan?
I said this to Sakura.
That if she says she'll cast aside the Bando family to get married...
...then I'll have her marriage to Kentaro-kun wiped away.
Ah... that reminds me of the time when Yuri and I got married.
Because the Nogami family had no children...
...I was adopted by the Nogami family to inherit their name...
...and was raised by them...
Supposing your fantasy of getting together with Yuri-ojousama did come true...
Kiyoshi's Adoptive Father Nogami Shozo
...I wonder if you could make her happy.
That's what my Dad told me.
Due to Kiyoshi, I came to know the love a parent has for their child.
But no matter what happens from here on, it won't change that we are parent and child.
So please allow Yuri-ojousama and Kiyoshi to marry and have him join the Bando family.
And when Isoya-san heard that... right?
Yuri.
Yes.
You may go to his family as his bride.
Father...
Kiyoshi-kun.
Please take care... of my daughter.
Yes!
That's right, isn't it?
Truth is, I'm in no position to be saying this, but...
Norio-kun, how about if you met with your father just once?
My father?
Well... Since I was the youngest of three brothers...
Norio's Father Tanaka Goro
...I don't think it was that hard for him to allow me to marry into another family.
That's not true.
The feelings a parent has for their child wouldn't change, even with that.
As a marriage is a union between two families...
...there is what will be connected and what will be inherited.
Those were issues Sumire and Norio-kun couldn't easily answer.
