:26:00
Welcome back!
:26:02
Did you all practice hard
while I was gone?
:26:05
Yes!
:26:09
- Yayoi, give me some water.
- Yes.
:26:12
And make some tea for lchi.
:26:19
Those who can't see,
can smell very well.
:26:21
So, does it still smell
like when you studied here?
:26:26
It brings back memories.
:26:40
Nothing's changed in 4 years.
:26:43
None of my present pupils
are as hardworking as you were.
:26:48
You practiced like crazy,
rain or shine.
:27:02
- Yayoi, l've settled the matter.
- What?
:27:06
- Your marriage to Morooka.
- But I asked you to decline.
:27:14
Can we decline? He's the son
of the respected Mizuno family.
:27:18
- What are you unhappy about?
- Nothing...
:27:22
So why are you reluctant?
:27:26
Like Morooka said, for me,
being a poor samurai's daughter,
:27:30
it's a dream match, but I don't
wish to marry for convenience.
:27:38
What an ungrateful thing you are!
Is it not for your happiness
:27:43
that I bowed my head
and begged just now?
:27:46
Who else would want the daughter
of a degraded samurai?
:27:50
Is there anyone in the world
who'd pass up a single chance
:27:53
for happiness, by clinging
to silly ideas?
:27:56
I know I'm being stubborn,
but just this...
:27:58
- Have you more to say?
- Please, forgive me, just...
