Asa ga Kita (あさが来た)

In the West, a lot of the schools

IZUMI NARUSAWA

are run with donations.

Let me help you.

I'll do whatever I can to help.

I'll do whatever I can to help

SHIGENOBU OKUMA

Thank you very much

There's a bad rumor going around that you're using

a lot of our bank profits to fund your venture.

I wouldn't...!

I want to talk to you more.

I...

ASA'S DAUGHTER CHIYO

...don't have anything to say to you.

Chiyo.

Serves you right.

I don't want to die yet.

That's right. You have to get up.

Dent you fall nine times and get up ten times?

Fail nine times, and get up ten times!

My husband...

Asa!

Asa finally woke up.

Chiyo! Chiyo!

Dad?

Mom woke up.

The doctor's checking on her now...

He said it's a miracle...

That your mom's will to live won out.

Ume!

Aren't you glad?

Isn't it wonderful?

After waking up once, Asa kept having dreams.

Hey! Asa!

Asa-chan!

Asa.

Asa!

Asa...

What time is it?

Where am I?

Mr. Godai?

No... It's not morning anymore. The sun is about to set.

But your name in English means "morning."

So there's no mistake that it's a "good morning."

So you came back to Osaka?

As you can see.

I heard that you're looking into the railway...

That's right. I'll tell you more in the near future.

I'll see you again.

Mr. Godai...

Tomoatsu really is a nice name, isn't it?

It makes me happy to hear you say that.

You're my only girl friend...

Asa-chan?

It was fate (en) that brought you to our family.

SA'S F THER-IN-LAW SHOKICHI

They call money "en," now, don't they?

This is "en" (money) and this is "en" (fate)...

What could be better?

Grandpa?

So you finally came... Come over here.

Which means...?

Am I dead?

That's right.

I've been waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

No, Grandpa... I'm going back to my husband

and to Chiyo... I don't want to die yet.

ASA'S GRANDFATHER TADAMASA IMAI

That's too bad.

But watching you lately, you always look so

harsh, and you haven't been laughing with your white

teeth showing like you used to, have you?

That's why I thought I'd call you to my side, and

make you laugh... And with perfect timing, you were

stabbed, weren't you?

Perfect timing?

But Grandpa, I'm not young anymore...

I carry a lot of burdens, and I have to take the

initiative in front of everyone.

I can't always be laughing with my teeth showing.

But no matter how much responsibilities you're

carrying, don't you think it's wrong for a full grown

adults not to laugh?

It's okay for children to laugh, but it's

wrong for adults to laugh.

There's something wrong with that, isn't there?

If I really think about it, I guess you're right.

Don't think about it too hard...

Think softly.

You're right.

I really do love to see you laugh.

Shall we sing?

Let's sing.

For now, she's out of danger, but...

Considering the depth of the wound, it'll

probably take a while before she can move around freely.

I think it's better to keep her in the hospital, and

keep an eye on her.
