The old are impatient, no?

You did well. On

your 1st day.

This is wonderful.

I'm not talking about

his family's background.

I know.

You're smitten with the Mizuno.

Yes...

I was here with Lady

Kayo before.

I guess we won't be

coming here anymore.

When she marries. It would no longer

be convenient to come to baths.

You're right.

Everything's coming to an end.

Unfortunate.

Eh?

I'm going in for a dip.

Alright.

Lady Kayo?

And Fujii, Kageyu...

Let's go.

Lady Ito's home.

I came back late

It's wonderful that

you're back.

What?

Quick. Change up.

Excuse me.

Glad that you're here.

Another bowl!

Welcome back.

You're Lady Ito.

Safe return.

Yes! It's been awhile.

I've only reached Katagiri this

morning from the Edo.

It's been 5 years.

You have turned into a

great beauty.

According to our parents.

We will be married this

coming spring.

I had this specially made.

A gift for when

you get married.

There will a time

when this is of use.

Thank you, father.

An order was passed down from

the government a few days ago.

A request for monetary assistance

for the Tonegawa flood project.

This is extremely important

for the clan.

Cornered by the opposition.

Therefore.

Understand that I am unable to

refuse without damaging my esteem.

As we are unable to come

Lord Abemoto must not be

implicated in this oversight.

We need the help of

Lord Anzai, Shimano.

With his aid. We can get

out of this impasse.

We need you to deliver

this proposal to him.

Forward.

For such an important task. I had

my doubts about your abilities.

But you were highly recommended

by Lord Fujii, Kageyu.

Deliver Lord Abemoto's letter.

Have them accept the proposal.

Put an end to this.

When you're in Edo.

Put your heart into this.

Yes.

Lord Fujii?

When you are in the palace.

Say the fault is yours alone and

shame is upon you.

Yes.

Keep your wits about

you in Edo.

Tread lightly but push it

through among praises.

Amidst manners and etiquette.

What will my title

of address be?

Second in rank.

Forward.

Another bowl please?

Lady Ito.

Your husband to be has

really good appetite.

There's still time before the wedding.

Everyone feels happy that

his appetite is good.

together often in Edo.
