1:02:01
I hate asking you
for advances all the time,
1:02:05
but my earnings
simply refuse to catch up.
1:02:08
You disarm me
by beating me to the punch.
1:02:12
I came intending
to lodge a complaint or two,
1:02:16
but when you make the first move,
1:02:21
what can I say?
1:02:24
By the way,
1:02:26
what are your thoughts
on that matter I raised the other day?
1:02:34
Have you come to a decision?
1:02:39
Yes, I have.
1:02:43
Glad to hear it.
1:02:46
It takes a load off my mind.
1:02:50
No.
1:02:52
I appreciate your proposal
regarding Miho,
1:02:57
but I've decided to decline.
1:03:06
In the end, her adoption
by the Joshuya family
1:03:10
would be a mere pretext
lasting perhaps six months.
1:03:14
Once established
as a member of their family,
1:03:16
she'd be sent to Lord Sakakibara
as his concubine.
1:03:21
Master Tsugumo,
1:03:23
the Sakakibara are a family
with a domain of 110,000 koku.
1:03:26
It may sound odd to seek benefit
from your daughter's connections,
1:03:29
but you need do nothing,
and doors will open to you.
1:03:33
I understand that.
1:03:35
But, Master Seibei,
1:03:38
no matter how far I've fallen,
1:03:40
I cannot make my daughter a concubine
to profit from her connections.
1:03:44
It's fine to uphold your pride.
1:03:46
But as a parent, you must consider
your daughter's feelings too.
1:03:51
What?
1:03:53
She's young and beautiful,
1:03:56
yet she doesn't have
a single fancy kimono to wear.
1:03:59
She can only look forward to endless days
of slaving at her father's side.
