"Finally, each of us took our balls and knelt down together.

Worship the heavens and earth and make an oath to bind the righteousness of that peach garden."

"Do not tie the righteousness of Taoyuan"?

ah…!

Ah... hey... what? this!

Genpachi and Shino are precious! ah!

Bakin-sensei is too genius~!

⚟ (Mie) Osue-chan, let's go in~!

yes! ?

What is this room! All the reading!

ah! already…. "Hakkenden"... Hey, how many more books are there? ?

How many books have you borrowed from the rental bookstore?

Not borrowed! my book!

Everything! ? (Matsu) I received it from Nishimura's main residence as a memento the other day.

I'm going to leave the mansion in Tokyo and return to Hikone.

Because Osue liked having that person read to her.

What. Surrounded by books and reminiscing about her dad?

wrong! If I properly read from the first volume by myself

It was really fun.

Dad, because he only read the stories he liked.

Stop it anyway. Bakin is so old-fashioned.

Oh, it's not old! Mr. Bakin...

You are about to enter a new world!

eh?

Sueko is like a flower.

It's the freshest, prettiest flower I've ever found.

You still don't know much, do you?

who might be There may be a certain opponent.

yes. family and family. yes.

Huh... We only met at first sight, right?

yes….

Not yet.

I am still nothing.

If I continue down this road...

please. (Mie) Isn't it cute?

Sister, you pulled out a good person, didn't you? It pisses me off.

If you don't mind, I'll give you my sweets wholesale.

Do you serve Nezu sweets at Misato, a restaurant in Shimbashi? Just kidding.

But Bunta used to work at a candy store in Yanagibashi.

Don't overdo it! Sweets related to Yanagibashi in Shimbashi.

Welcome.

If you get tired of the sweet... Thank you Bunta-san.

take your time.

Ha...

It really pisses me off. Fufufufu….

so what happened? Today is.

that's right!

Our shop is a purveyor of the new government officials, right?

Today, Professor Tanabe of the University of Tokyo came with an official.

I was asked to do something interesting. Interesting?

Did you know that a Western-style palace is currently being built on the ruins of Satsuma-sama's mansion?

Oh, you're building something yes.

It's called Rokumeikan.

How is it? Write "The deer croaks".

why are the deer barking? I heard he's in an old book.

It means to welcome an important guest.

Rokumeikan is a palace for entertaining foreign guests.

Look, Japan made a lossy treaty during the old Tokugawa Shogunate, right?

That's what my father said too!

Even though Japan is a backward country, they were ridiculed. You are right.

Inviting foreign guests to Rokumeikan

“We have changed so much.

It's a place to show off.

That's tough.

there.

I heard that when Rokumeikan opens, there will be a concert and a ball...

Butoukai?

Combat? Grape?

No! Dance! He dances with everyone, men and women.

what? that. Are you calling a geisha?

different. In the West, even if you're not a geisha, a high-class lady dances with a man!

It's called dance.

dance? Fufu….

That's what civilization enlightenment is all about!

of course we too

I gotta learn to dance

That Professor Tanabe was on his way back from America.

It seems like you're the person who takes on the role of Rokumeikan!

Please introduce me to someone who can learn to dance.

yeah…. So why is he coming to my house?

what i ask of you

Isn't it like talking to a Shinbashi geisha?

That's right.

But isn't Osue good too?

I dance! ?

If it's Osue, I'll see you for the first time there and strain the ball straight ahead!

Huh... It's not the time to eat Arale!

Hmm... even if you suddenly say...

Hey... Hisae is an amateur. She paid at the door.

don't worry about that.

Because she's not the daughter of Yanagibashi geisha Yoshiya, who I heard in that sound.

There are still many officials who remember Hokichiya, a nobleman.

When Osue said she was Kichiya's daughter, she told me to bring her right away.

Huh... I've long since abandoned that old name.

I didn't train Osue to sing nagauta or dance.

Sister, think of Hisae's happiness.

Hmm... It's fine to strain the ball. I didn't want to ride something like that...

How's your birthday?

Rokumeikan is waiting for you.

A world that Japanese people have never seen before.

A world you've never seen before?

yeah…. Osie: It's all right, go clean up your room.

Oh mother... wait. Are you curious?

go to the room I'm not reading a book again.

yes.

Why?

That's what I call a stone head.
