:05:00
Yes, you're right.
:05:03
I'm sorry, Shino.
:05:04
Come on, pour Samon a drink!
:05:10
Squire Samon...
:05:12
...this is a good time to ask.
:05:15
Do you really mean
to take this girl to wife?
:05:20
Why do you ask?
:05:24
When her father was alive,
our stipend was 1 00 koku of rice.
:05:30
That is not so much Iess than yours.
:05:34
But after he had to commit suicide,
we were reduced to 30 koku per year.
:05:43
Our prospects for advancement
are not good, either.
:05:49
Are you not worried about
what your family will think...
:05:54
...if you marry one of us?
:05:57
Don't be concerned.
I will choose who I marry.
:06:04
That is good to hear.
:06:07
There's just one thing
that displeases me.
:06:11
What?
:06:13
You'II be my 'elder brother'.
I don't Iook forward to that.
:06:18
Fool!
:06:20
It'II go to your head.
:06:22
Kie, did you hear that?
:06:24
Agh!
:06:25
Yes, sir.
:06:26
He's not making sense!
:06:29
I understand perfectly
how Squire Shimada feels.
:06:35
What?!
:06:36
See?
:06:40
Drink up, 'kid brother'!
:06:43
Kie watched over my sister
as she was married to Samon.
:06:50
Next it was her turn
to leave us forever...
:06:55
... when she married into
a merchant family.
:06:59
It was as if the light
had gone out in our house.
