wonderful
Let's toast to this occasion
A toast
I am home
-Hi
-Hi
I'm sorry to keep youwaiting
I hurried home.
I turned down an invitation
Isn't this wrong? Think again
Isn't it like this?
Then this is wrong
Think hard
What is it? What did youwant
to discuss with me?
They want me to have
a marriage interview
Again? How popular
It isn't like the last time
This time it's serious.
Even Sister urges me
Oh? Who is he?
A man whose father
is the president of a bank...
...but he works for a beer company
It sounds good
Don't treat it so lightly.
I'm perplexed
About what?
I haven't even considered
marriage yet
Perhaps not, but youcan't evade it
Why not just meet the man?
But...
Youcan reject him
Neither Father nor Fumiko
will force youto marry him
I wonder
Of course
Business seems to be poor nowadays
Father wants me to marry the man
Is that so?
Oh, I must be leaving
Is it that late? It is
Youcan make it if youhurry
I'll come again
-Advise me again, Sister
-Come anytime
Oh, I bought some cakes
I'll have some next time
-Goodbye, Minoru
-Goodbye
You'd better hurry
I will. Goodbye
Take care
Goodbye
Okaden is finally merging
with Katsura Masamune Co
Is that so?
I've heard rumours, but who told you?
Do youknow Kaneko who works there?
Yes, I know him
He mentioned it when I saw him
So, I treated him to drinks
to learn the details
Yes, he's here
It's your wife
All right
Have yougot any response
from Yamagishi?
-Not yet
-Right
Hello
Yes, it's me
What is it?
My uncle's here from Osaka
Can youcome home?
We'll be waiting
He'll return immediately
I see
How does the other party feel?
He saw her a few days ago
and is enthusiastic
Is that so. How about Akiko?
I haven't told her about it yet
Youmean she had an interview
without knowing it?
That's right
How reckless
Youthink Akiko
might get to like him?
I think he's OK
What do youthink?
Well, I hope Sister likes him
The only thing is that
he isn't a scholar...
...like her late husband
He runs a steel mill
That may not bother my sister
Yes, it's up to her
He's back
Welcome
How are you?
Hello, it's been a long time
Yanosuke proposes matrimony for Akiko
Is that so?
I personally think it's a good match
I see
It would be ideal...
...if both Noriko and Akiko
were engaged
Yes
Find out how she feels about marriage
Why don't you?
I'll persuade her, too...
...but please, talk to her
Where are yougoing?
I just remembered...
Going out? I'll leave, too
No, youmake yourself comfortable
Father is kept busy
I don't know,
he goes out a lot lately
Yes, but it's good to see him healthy
Has Noriko's interview day
been fixed?
Yes, at the New Osaka Hotel
I see, that's fine. It's well suited
It's another hot day
Yes. Yes. Where?
From six? I'll go
Yes, I'll ask her
Are youfree tonight?
Yes, why?
Teramoto-san is to leave
in a few days
For Sapporo?
Yes, so we're holding
a party tonight
I see. So he finally decided
Yes
Is that so?
So he's going...
-Best wishes
-Cheers
-Good luck
-To your health
Thank you
-I admire your decision
-You'll get a pay rise?
A little
A lecturer's pay
is shockingly low
Won't yoube
an assistant professor?
It's small just the same
I wish youwould all come up to ski
I'd like to,
but the train fare is high
We'll cherish your memory
on Mountain lbuki
Thus.how grows themugwort
ofbuki...
Trulyfeel this burrhirhg passiorh
It's too late to flirt with him now
That was fun
After being with them I hate to leave
Will yoube gone for long?
I'm told four or five years,
but who knows?
Please visit me if youcan
Yes
Be sure to
Yes
It was fun tonight. I enjoyed it
I'll write to you.
Please answer my letter
Yes
Promise now
I enjoyed tonight.
I hate to leave now
Add the followirhg...
What do they add up to?
33,455 yen
And you?
-The same
-How much?
33,455 yen
33,455 yen
That's too bad
It can't be helped
Small enterprises can't compete
