village Meeting

- As for Master of Law, Kanda Shinji, returning having completed his studies..

How shall we welcome him?

Perhaps the youth organization..`

Plan for welcoming Master of Law Kanda Shinji:

-The Youth Organization is to welcome him. Those with jobs will be exempted.

-The welcome party is to be held in Riusui Restaurant and paid for by theYouth Organization.

There is also support from the village fund.

The women's organization.

I'm sure that the law scholar's future wife will be chosen from among us.

I've heard that he's come back this time to find a wife.

So who will it be?

After all, if she's going to be the wife of a master of law...

She should at least have graduated from the girls' school.

And she should be beautiful and poised.

Then it must be Nishimura Kinue.

A country girl like me could never be a bride to Shinji-san.

He's a master of law -she's got to be a "modern girl.

Being a farmer's wife would suit me.

Your wife will do this the next time.

If your family were as well off as it used to be, **

you'd be welcomed back just like Shinji.

To graduate from university is another way of saying you're unemployed

No matter how you say it, your hometown is good.`

But it must be difficult to forget the neon lights of Tokyo.

Dancing to jazz, drinking liqueur all night.

modern girls, and their rivals

sophisticated older women all there!

You must be thinking that you want to show it to us just one time.

You haven't changed

-I see your habit of being jealous hasn't been cured.`

Just like you were in elementary school.

I wonder if there still are deer in the Fuefuki river.

We spent so much time at the waterwheel at

the edge of the village, didn't we?

By the way, is Nishimura Kinue the right age to be a bride?

We were just talking about Kanda-san.

While you may be talking about Kanda-san, I'm sure you're never talking about me.

I'll excuse myself.

So here begins our problem.

It may be saying something strange suddenly,

but what's the relationship between you and Kunie?

As you know, she and I are cousins.

And..?

There's nothing beyond that.

So you don't have any intention of marrying her?`

Don't make fun of me.

If there's really nothing between the two of you...I...

You're saying that you want to marry her?

Ever since she was going to the girls' school two or three years ago.

From that time on, I've quietly thought about her.

Kunie-san: I would like to ask for your advice on a personal matter.

I would like to avoid the eyes of others. Please meet me tonight around eight o'clock

at the waterwheel at the edge of the village.

I am looking forward to seeing you.

I hope you weren't startled by my suddenly sending you the note.

I...was happy.

I've waited ...I've waited for a long time..

For a chance like tonight when it could be just the two of us.

Please wait a moment don't misunderstand.

I came here tonight for Kanda.

Kanda has loved ..

you for a long time.

And I was asked to come here because of this.

If this is the case, I now strongly refuse.

Shu-san, do you remember?

You went to school in the city and I attended the girls school.

On the way to and from school..

You gave me a ride on the back of your bicycle.

I blushed as my friends teased me..

And held onto you tightly.

Shu-san, if you've forgotten about this, please remember!

But I don't want to betray Kanda in this situation.

So you're telling me that I have to betray

my heart and become Kanda's wife?

Do you think Kanda will be satisfied? Can we build a home with this?

"Kunie"

Are you pining for the city again?

Anyway, that son of Kanda who came back from Tokyo stays in my mind.

Isn't this ambition an old story ?

The only thing I'm thinking to do now is work

hard to send my younger brother Hiroshi to a school in Tokyo.

Your father and I have been talking lately.

Isn't it about time for you to find a wife?

I'm wondering how Nishimura Kunie might be.

She's too beautiful for me.

A Master of Law like Kanda is more suitable to be her husband.

since you have gone so far, I also want Kunie's hand in marriage.

if this is the case, it would have been easier

if you had spoken up earlier.

lets get to it

News! News!

Kanda has requested to marry Kunie at last.

I knew this would happen.

So that's what happened.

I'm looking forward to the celebratory sake.

When is the most fortunate day?

Shukichi-san:I would like to discuss with you a private matter.

I will meet you at the same time at the waterwheel. Kunie

I came here to meet you on Osaki's orders.

But thank you for meeting with me.

What did Shu-san say to you?

Didn't he provide an opportunity for you and me to meet here?

Shu-san is a betrayer.

Betrayer! Betrayer!

Have I interrupted something between the two of you?

Have I taken advantage of friendship and

asked something impossible of Osaki?

If that's the case, I apologize to you and Osaki.

Where is Shu-san?

Because he wanted to study in Tokyo no matter what,

he asked us to allow him 2 or 3 years off with no questions asked

Betrayer!!

Shu- san

Iwaki Keinosuke...

Far East Surface Corporation

Conference Room

Being optimistic is a good thing, but

it will mean a certain amount of difficulty..

A person named Osaki from your hometown wishes to meet with you.

Tell him I'm not here.

meeting schedule

Zenman Mining Corporation, Marunouchi Headquarters

It might be a good idea to acquire Atsuga Mining.?

Any conditions?

Of course, there are no conditions. Our reign will be next.

Osaki Shukichi wishes to meet with you.

Tell him I'm not here.

meeting schedule

Japan Textile Corporation

Don't worry. We will rule next.

What a bother, coming to my home!

Pardon me, but please use this for travel expenses to your hometown.

I didn't come here to beg for money.

During the general election, it was suggested for me to stop by.

i've come to show my respect to my Elder.

And if there happened to be any chance to work take care of.

This is why I came.

Brother, shall I stay and take care of him tonight?

I'll stay behind. l take responsibility for demanding it sped up too much.

Young people are so fast these days.

Which ones do you like in the end?

You're asking me what I mean? I mean flowers or Western treats, of course.

They say you'll be able to leave the hospital in 2 or 3 days.

At first, I thought that you wouldn't be able to recover completely.

That's why I..

I had decided to become your cane for the rest of your life.

A cane is too old fashioned. I was thinking that I could

become your artificial legs.

You can leave now.

"Morinaga Milk Chocolate."

This...is for your health!

So what happens after the artificial legs?

We're not talking about kittens taking him in isn't so simple.

Actually, I have enough trouble just taking care of my own children.

Strong words, aren't they.

Well, that's fine. You never listen to me once you've decided on something

we'll take care of him somehow.

But for now I'll advise both of you to be responsible

and avoid any mistakes.

You're finally becoming his artificial legs -what will happen to me?

You're my cousin, so it'll be as it's always been.

Then you mean that I'm your porter after all merely your bodyguard?

You're too weak to be my bodyguard.

Shige-chan, a teacher will be coming for you beginning tomorrow.

Because your grades have been strangely bad these days.

Because a private tutor is scheduled to be here from tomorrow.

Hurry up and clean the guestroom.

Please don't misunderstand about my taking Osaki into our home.

My older brother is happy that you'll take care of him in your own home.

So if you wanted to change the flowers in his room every day

that would be no problem.

I've brought tea .

Osaki-san said that he's gotten tired of the treats.

Extra Curricular Activities - lesson one.

Extra Curricular Activities - lesson two.

Extra Curricular Activities - lesson three.

Going is easy, but coming back is piggyback.

He's supposed to be my private tutor,

but my sister always occupies him.

Are you Shige's private tutor, or are you Tomomi's?

If you answer wrong, I won't excuse you!

Someone is here to see you.

You're acquainted with Kanda-san, aren't you?

Kanda-san acted as my private tutor during my years at girls' school.

Tonight it's my invitation -a movie and then dinner.

Well, I'll go get ready.

How has Kinue-san been since then?

That's what I wanted to ask you.

So you don't know anything?

After you left for Tokyo, Kinue left home, too.
