Yagihashi, the Fujiyama. What a sight.

Of course, that's the great Fujiyama.

Your home must be bustling right now.

You only let them know of your homecoming when we reached Kobe.

Anyway, thanks for the great time on the ship.

I was never bored.

Let's hope we meet again.

She's bad. She thinks she could look down on Japanese...

Just because she's been abroad.

Let's tell her how rude she was on the ship?

Yuzuru, did Yumie tell you about Takehiko's return?

Mom would scold you for being so calm.

Tell Auntie she shouldn't make a big thing out of it.

But Yumie asked me to go to the station with her.

This is Hisako's friend Yumie Sone, also the girlfriend of Yuzuru.

Professor Takasugi!

My daughter Yoko.

She just studied singing in Italy. She was on this train.

Your father took good care of me at the university.

Now I'll have time for revenge.

What of your Westerner friend?

He's just for the trip. Now I have you to bully.

To Ayako Kirihara Japan Daily Mail

From Hisako Yagibashi

My brother just came home from abroad.

We're having a garden party

this Sunday around 1pm. Please come.

Can you go to a sport equipment store...

and write me a sports story?

We're having a tea party at my home,

around 3pm this Sunday. Can you come?

Sorry, I have plans.

People from the embassies, and my friends from the commerce

chambers in Yokohama will come. You'll see lots of women too.

Your lady friends won't mind if I'd be late?

Going out?

This one is the best. I played a bit baseball.

Take my word for it.

We know you were a star pitcher at Empire University

but 4.5 yen is too much.

You'll be beaten by someone who could afford it.

Did you get the invitation

of Yagibashis' garden party?

Yuzuru is a good friend,

but I don't like Takehiko. He's a show-off.

I came today as a reporter of the Daily Mail.

Can you tell me something about your shop window?

Softball is hot these days. Please write about that.

You don't like Takehiko. But you like Yuzuru, don't you?

I haven't seen Yuzuru for a while. How about you?

No. Not even once.

Someone gave me yokan. Please come for tea.

Here's my guardian. A friend of my father's.

He owns the tailor shop next door.

He's the so-called boss of Ginza.

You like her, right?

You can't hide it. I've been watching you.

Uncle, are you going to the Yagibashi party?

I'm just a tailor. Flattering is not my thing.

The homecoming garden party.

Even Yumie dresses up. She's eyecatching.

I dressed Hisako well too.

I know you won't be satisifed by the life here.

But it's rash to leave home.

That's why I ask you to find me a job.

So Ayako, do you work at the Daily Mail every day?

I envy those who earn their own bread.

Stop thinking on that. Console yourself with Yumie.

Look, Takehiko is with Mr Ohira. Let's go that way.

Let's just stay here and stop talking on boring things.

Takehiko's look is so modern, but it doesn't look right.

Please talk to mom for me. I'll owe you one.

Don't ask for impossible favours.

Who's that girl?

She's the daughter of a bedridden petty official.

He has kidney disease and lives on his retirement pay.

Here's my chance. I think I found my fortune.

Sorry but I have another party to go to.

Where are your guests? All gone?

Goodbye then.

Do you like me?

Please marry me.

I've been loving you so long.

You're the first one I love since I came to Japan.

That's my mom in England. She'll love you too.

Thank you but I love someone else.

That's a lie! Else tell me who he is.

Yuzuru Yagibashi.

Even if I can't marry him, he'll be the love of my life.

Forgive me. I can't answer otherwise.

Is your mom in her room?

It's about that thing.

Brother, play the Wedding March.

You must be joking.

Is this Mitsukoshi, section 8?

Please cancel my order of today.

Yumie's home in the suburbs, somewhere away from Koenji station.

Your aunt is so nice.

I felt so flattered, so many gifts for me.

It's her pleasure.

It's late. Hope Yuzuru is walking her home.

Sure. Yuzuru always walks her to our door.

A neat and nice young man.

You look after me for so long. You got old.

I'm sorry.

Yuzuru's aunt bought me so many things today.

She was so good to me.

You're so lucky!

Just do your homework!

She even bought me a travel makeup box.

I'm so happy. It's like a dream.

Why did you make Miwako cry?

Takehiko was attracted to Yumie.

This set off something

beyond his parents' imagination.

I sent a car for Yumie. She should be here now.

If you're to marry her, the wedding must be grand.

Listen well what I'm going to say, right until the end.

First, about Yuzuru.

Something happened. Please stop seeing Yuzuru for a while.

Does he know about this?

I'll ask him myself.

He looks much better now.

I felt better too.

Here I am to see him.

The chief of Daily Mail told me that you are here.

Chief invited us here last week.

Such a bad thing happened.

I got a bit unwell myself.

Is it wrong to love someone you can't love?
