Look forward to it
Konjima, Konjima, Kon, Konjiki
The tears of friendship that no one knows
In the middle of my love, cheerfully
Fun, fun, I can't laugh
This body that can't be touched
Pitiful
Ah, sakura, sakura, wait for me
Konjima, Konjima, Kon, Konjiki
Sensei!
Kirino-sensei!
I'm Iwasaki from Azuma Shimbun!
I was able to make an urgent request to the editor-in- chief of Kataoka,
so I came to deliver lunch instead!
Sensei!
Kirino-sensei!
He's not here
Damn it!
What's this?
It's not even a word.
Is this the novelist, Kirino Ichiro's manuscript,
which won first place in the Hanakan magazine?
Mr. Kataoka,
how long are you going to take care of a finished author like this?
This smell!
You scared me!
This smell!
Professor, are you here?
That's a lunch box.
Professor?
What, what, what?
What are you doing, Professor?
You opened a person's letter without permission.
It stinks.
Who wrote this?
Why are you asking me that?
Who?
A woman.
Which woman?
Yoshiwara's.
Yoshiwara?
There's a woman in Yoshiwara's favor.
It's a letter from her.
Red.
Yoshiwara.
Red sea.
Hey, hey, hey!
I haven't read it yet,
and it's so wrinkled.
Dear Mr. Kataoka.
I'm tired of waiting,
and my heart is rusting.
If this body is rusted,
I'll sacrifice my life for the darkness.
What's this?
Kyouko, no! Kyouko!
Where are you going?
Please move!
Where are you going?
I'm in a hurry!
Where are you going?
I'm going to the woman in this letter!
I'm going, too!
Why are you going?
I'm going, too!
A woman's life is at stake here!
Take me with you!
I can't help it!
Wait for me, Kyouko!
I'm going!
Why do I have to run with this old man on my back?
Hurry up!
Shut up! I know!
Stop it!
I'm finally free!
Now's the time! Wait for me, Kyouko!
Hey!
Who's there?
It's me, Kirino!
Kirino-sensei? Are you kidding me?
Hurry up!
I know!
I'm finished!
I'm going to kill you.
Stop it, Kyoko.
Mr. Iwasaki.
Kyoko, why do you want to die?
I'm going to die.
Look at the scissors in your eyes.
No, it's Kirie.
Kirie?
I was playing with Kirie.
Don't speak ‖.
You see, Sakura is good, right?
So why did you send me this?
Oh.
Heaven and earth wasted.
Heaven and earth wasted?
I used to dye my hair during love letters.
So what?
I was a loving person.
My heart is rusting.
If my body is rusting,
I will sacrifice my life to the darkness
and become a falling cherry blossom.
If the next day does not come,
I will wait without knowing you.
As expected of you, Daishoya-san. You're good at writing.
Ah, you were in a hurry to read this?
Daishoya?
Yes.
So you didn't write it?
I just read it for the first time.
What the hell is that?
Because you didn't let me say a word.
That's why I asked you to read it.
You're in a bad mood.
Where are you from?
I used to work at a place called Rashomon Gasshi.
Rashomon Gasshi?
It's on the left side of Omon.
There was a place called Ohaguro-dobu that surrounded Yoshiwara so that he wouldn't be able to escape until he was burned by the Great Shogunate earthquake.
Yes.
It's exactly like that place.
It's at the bottom of Yoshiwara.
Women who were sick or had a different personality would drag men into the business.
In the Showa era, the place became famous, but it's a little creepy.
But I told you to be brave.
I'm sorry.
When I got there, I heard the sound of writing in the dark.
When I opened my eyes, I could see my grandmother.
She was covered in ragged cloth, and I couldn't see her eyes.
It's strange that you couldn't see her eyes.
I thought so too.
Then my grandmother suddenly raised her head and said,
Do you want to know the meaning of love?
She looked at me with her eyes that I couldn't see.
Yes.
Then she said,
I have to read your mind.
She waved her hand.
Come here.
Come here, come here, come over here.
And then, as if being sucked in, my grandmother suddenly...
So cute!
Hey!
I did the same thing.
You said you were scared, didn't you? I get it.
And then, I prayed for your feelings.
I prayed.
I strongly, strongly prayed for you, my dear.
And then, you wrote me,
saying you understood my love.
You said you'd send me to my beloved.
You said you'd come for sure.
I was lonely.
I thought you hated me.
You fool! I can't hate you.
I'm so happy.
I was so happy.
He's been here all along?
I'll borrow this letter!
I love you!
Hey, are you there?
Yes, I'm here, grandpa!
Grandpa?!
Grandpa!
It's a secret.
Oh, it's from a visitor.
It's a letter of love.
You wrote this letter?
Well, is there a woman you love?
No, I don't.
That's good.
Oh, you wrote this too?
No, why?
I can smell your love.
Well, I have to read your mind.
I don't have the same love.
I'm not here to ask you for your love.
Then what do you want?
Words?
Did you lose sight of the words you wrote?
It seems so.
Come on...
Come here!
Come on...
Come here...
Come here!
Ushi-san got lost, lost his words, lost his sight, lost his heart, and got lost.
I have to remember.
What?
I have to write about Ushi-san.
What?
I have to write about Ushi-san.
Akai Fumi.
Let me help you.
It became a word.
Go on.
I...
Sakura...
This scent...
And then...
The scent of sakura...
I...
And then...
The scent of sakura...
but you have to to do your part as humans.
He's an otrosaurus and I'm an ostracоеan.
A trot, Trot, Trot, Trot,
A Trot, Trot, Trot, Trot,
Damn it. I fell over.
Sorry.
Okay.
Now I'm saved.
Hey, you guys.
This way, this way.
Kataoka?
Come on!
Kataoka, what's going on?
Huh? This? I was playing Toratoro.
Toratoro?
It's a board game.
It's really strong.
My husband is too weak.
That's what I was going to say.
Today, it's all men.
I was going to go all out.
What do you mean, all out?
Oh, no, no.
The Meiji era is over 40 years old.
It's all about Yamate.
The era doesn't matter.
Of course it does.
In the Edo era, there were so many noble men.
In the Edo era? How old were you?
Over 60.
What the hell?
Hey, don't just stand there.
Get up!
Oh, I'm sorry.
I got in the way.
Oh, you're so cute.
Come on, get up here.
Come on, come on.
Come on, get up here.
Excuse me.
Come on, sit here.
This is the writer, Kirino Ichiro, who will write today's article.
Oh, you're a writer.
This is Mr. Mori, the author of Azuma Shimbun,
and Mr. Saijo, the main character of Kamidon and Shirokuya.
No, no, the main character is Ooga Oiran.
But, sir.
No, I'm not a teacher yet.
Hurry up and take it.
There's no way the head of Shirokuya will follow you directly.
Don't be so exaggerated.
Come on.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
But why are you so late?
Because of you, I was stripped naked.
I'm sorry, I got lost.
Lost? I told you to come straight from Omon.
The cherry blossoms...
What about the cherry blossoms?
The cherry blossoms smelled so good,
and before I could see them,
I got lost in a strange place.
You got lost in the scent.
The cherry blossoms in Yoshibara are always in full bloom.
Is this your first time in Yoshibara in spring?
Yes.
This is my first time in Yoshibara in spring.
It's close to where I live, but I'm not interested.
What a waste.
Mr. Oori, what about him?
That's my suggestion.
But you don't know Yoshibara, how can you write?
And you're still so young.
Today's Oiran Road is a new chapter for Oga Oiran.
I think it would be better to have someone with pure eyes who doesn't know Yoshibara write.
Otherwise, we'll be in trouble.
That's right.
Don't worry.
This is a recommendation from a talented editor.
This is unnecessary.
But I'm glad to hear that.
That's right.
The teachers I have are all from Yoshibara,
so I was in trouble because I didn't have a pen and paper.
Then I remembered.
When I was a writer,
there was a young man who wrote seriously.
He lost his father early and went to study abroad.
Yes.
When I contacted him, he was very serious.
Speaking of being serious,
is it a different writing style from Mr. Toyama's futon?
I'm not good at that.
His writing style is like Mr. Natsume's Sanshiro.
If that Sanshiro was a passionate writer,
he would be like that.
Is it good or bad?
I think it's perfect for this project.
What do you think?
Thank you very much.
All right, it's decided.
Good, good.
Speaking of futons, everyone is waking up to Watakushi literature.
What is Watakushi literature?
It's about writing about yourself in a straightforward way.
It's a good method for writers who are drunk on women, alcohol and medicine.
Have you read Futon?
Yes.
How would you rate it?
Well, I think it's just masturbation to write about yourself in a straightforward way.
Hey!
What is masturbation?
It's this.
Like this?
Mayata-sensei!
Ouch!
I told you because I heard it.
Futon is too conspicuous of a middle-aged man's corruption.
If you want to draw corruption, you have to unify individuals and society.
Literature should not only influence readers but also society.
For example, like Zora's Nana.
What? Zo's fart?
Masuga Shon's Zo's fart?
That's a good one.
Zora is a French naturalist.
Nana is a novel he wrote.
Nana is the name of his wife.
Do you know it?
The novel is about Nana, a high-ranking official, who eats up and destroys the men of the upper class.
In the end, she dies of a poison or something.
Oh, that's scary.
Yoshiwara has that, too.
But Kirino-kun, it's different from Dostoevsky.
Zora is too conspicuous of a middle-aged man's corruption.
It's not a naturalist, it's a westernist.
I don't know how it is in France, but it's not common in Japan.
Maybe it's because Mori-san doesn't know the bottom.
Hey!
Kirino-sensei, do you know the upper class?
Yes, I have been there.
Idiot!
If you have time to talk,
you can make a manuscript in the silkshop.
Hurry up!
He only uses bad paper.
Oh, that's right.
That bad paper
has nothing to do with Mori-san.
I wrote it desperately.
It's a short story.
Please read it.
Hey, shut up!
But...
It's not for drinking.
It's about time.
What?
It's been a long time.
I'm so happy.
Really?
Yes.
Why?
If I'm right,
it's because of the Meiji Revolution.
The rich and the poor
were all killed.
The citizens were all killed.
Does it cost money?
My manuscript?
I don't know anything.
That's why you were chosen.
It costs a lot.
Especially for my manuscript.
Manuscript?
It's just a welcome party for the guests,
but there are a lot of things to see.
Nakano Chodori,
Furisode Shinzoya,
and Kamuro.
The first time is the first meeting.
Just look at me.
The second time, turn around.
Hey.
Yes.
You can talk a little.
The third time is a familiar meeting.
If you say you like me here,
I'll let you in.
Do I have to decide?
If you don't like it, you can refuse.
I was forced to refuse.
I can't stand it.
There was no such person in the past.
I'm lonely.
A lot of things have disappeared.
On the way to Oiran,
I had a lot of dreams of Oiran.
I had a dream of a woman who was sold by a car and tried to sell her body for money.
I became the richest man in Giro.
I walked around Nakano Chodori more luxuriously than any Oiran.
I walked around with a car.
Hey, Tsurubatsu.
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake.
No, it was a good story.
You're so kind.
Sir, I think Oiran will laugh.
Is that so?
Absolutely.
She took a lot of pictures for today.
Will you take a picture for tomorrow?
Of course.
Hey, look at Oiran's face carefully.
What do you mean by a smile and a picture?
I'm Oiran who doesn't laugh.
You don't laugh?
No, I think it's better to say I can't laugh.
No matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I try,
I can't smile even after having fun.
I'm a beautiful woman, but at first I felt bad because I looked like an old man.
Why can't you laugh?
I don't know.
I just shake my head and wonder why.
But that ignited the men's competitive spirit.
Everyone pointed out who could make me laugh the most.
As a result, Ogawa proudly climbed up to Hojuro's dining room.
Only these two can call me Ogawa now.
I'm going to drop out today.
Ogawa!
It's decided that Mr. Saicho is the one.
Mr. Mori, that's still...
It's okay.
Then, do you mean Miyuki?
Yes.
You're loud persona!
Oh, my back.
I can't bear to cry any longer.
I'll tell the rest later.
My stomach's growling today,
so I'm going to drop out today.
I would rather sit at myLike questions.
No doubt about it, it's a big laugh.
It's a different kind of play now.
You're happy, aren't you?
Oga Oiran is truly happy.
Well, well, well!
Here he comes!
Minamo-shu, Minamo-shu,
what a fine young man you are!
You are the Minister Ryujiro of Shirokuya.
Such a noble young man
can only be the President of Shirokuya.
Congratulations!
What a fine young man you are!
Congratulations!
Minamo-shu,
I am honored to have you as my guest.
I would like to thank you in person.
This is great!
What a fine young man!
I can't believe I'm promoting Taiko in broad daylight.
You are a true businessman.
Thank you very much.
What a fine young man you are!
You are truly beautiful.
Young man,
please smile.
Thank you very much.
Why?
Why don't you smile?
You are supposed to be a happy man who fulfilled Yoshihara's dream.
It's strange that a happy man can't smile.
Stop it!
You've done so much for us. Why?
Stop it!
You should smile for yourself.
You have to smile!
Stop it!
What the hell are you doing?
You should be laughing for yourself.
You shouldn't be laughing!
Were you surprised to see such a room in the gallery?
This is a great building.
The Ogre is a family heirloom.
In Yoshihara, it is a must-have item.
The king said that one must live without a book.
I was greatly offended.
How is my wife?
Don't worry about her.
She just fainted.
Thank goodness.
Where are Mori and Kataoka?
They went back to the office.
I'll go with you.
No, you shouldn't go out yet.
This room is taken care of, but the gallery is not.
You should stay here until I finish my work.
Please read this book.
Why did you save me?
Because you are my benefactor.
Benefactor?
You hid my shame.
If you hadn't made a scene,
I would have been ashamed in front of the audience.
I would have been humiliated as a man who couldn't be laughed at.
If I had done that, I would have been hurt by the signboards.
This is not a big deal.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
But why did you save me?
Your words are not unusual for a king.
But why?
If you get tired of reading, call the maid.
She will entertain you.
Why did you kill Kiyo?
It's the 7 of heavens.
Up to the 7 of heavens.
I'm sorry!
These eyes...
These eyes are...
I'm sorry.
C'est l'univers original.
Euh...
C'est l'univers original.
Oui.
Oui. Il le sait.
Oui. Il le sait. C'est l'univers original.
You can speak French?
And you?
I only got a little bit of it.
Don't tell me you...
You got to know Nana in French?
Yes.
That's amazing!
I only read what was translated,
and it was my first time reading the original.
But this is difficult.
My knowledge of French is very...
So, what did you think?
What do you mean?
From your point of view,
what do you think of Nana?
From my point of view, I understand the feelings of the victor.
No, that's not what I mean.
What I understand is the feelings of those who have been destroyed.
It's the ignorance of those who think that their happiness is natural.
How much did Saijo-sama ask for?
What?
Did Saijo-sama ask you to make me laugh?
I didn't ask for it.
You're lying.
I'm not lying!
Why did you stop me from going to Oiran-dochi?
Why didn't you talk to me?
That's because...
You should talk to your mistress and choose a good girl.
I'm not a guest.
I'm not that kind of guest.
This is a gallery.
It's a place where gentlemen enjoy themselves.
Then, please take your time.
Can we talk a little longer?
My name is Kirino.
I'm just a writer who went through the gates of Yoshiwara for the first time to write about your life.
For the first time?
Yes.
If I hadn't caused that commotion, I wouldn't have come to this room and I wouldn't have met you.
I'm Saijo-sama's sister now.
What do you mean by sister?
I was bought.
Saijo-sama took good care of me.
He took good care of me so that I didn't have to take other guests for a while.
He was kind to me.
Kind?
It's rude to buy things.
Yoshiwara's friendship is a commodity.
You can't buy it in a minute.
Then, please give me some of your time.
This is an important manuscript that I just wrote yesterday.
It's a great deal for me.
I want you to write a criticism.
A criticism?
I'm sure you have a good eye for criticism.
You've read a lot of books.
You've even read Zora.
If your criticism is stiff, I don't care if it's just an impression.
Why, Bacchus?
People say that what I write is too serious.
But I didn't think it was serious.
I was worried about which one to use.
When I met Zora's Nana, I was impressed.
I didn't even use the words I wrote.
This manuscript is a work that I challenged myself to do if I could write such a thing.
I see...
Is this...
the book of your father?
Yes.
He was the first to paint a book about my father.
Ohh...
You can just say whatever you feel...
You seem exaggerated a bit.
I'm not.
He forced his father to shave his head.
This is too much.
It is said that Zora experimented with the method of accurately describing
the events that happened in front of him, no matter how tragic or tragic they were.
He is very popular in France,
but I think he is a writer who is somewhere far away from the Japanese sense of ethics.
I understand that you are a fan of him,
but his method does not fit your Japanese work.
It is normal for a father who wants to be a novelist to die in the middle of the road due to hemorrhage.
It is written in his heart.
However, if you add the individuality of the writer to it, it can become something unique.
For example, it is a good example of the young man of Moriogai,
who started the serialization this spring with Sanshiro of Natsume Soseki.
Have you read it?
No, I haven't read it yet.
I would like you to read it.
Both of them are young people who came out of the countryside,
so the setting of the characters is also normal.
However, when it comes to the hands of these two writers,
it is a story that is completely different in color just by the simple difference in perspective of being seen and being seen.
The important thing is not the method, but the individuality.
I have no individuality.
Your father's obsession is so exaggerated that it seems to take away your individuality.
But in fact, for me, my father was really an obsession.
I wanted to draw, I wanted to draw, I struggled, I bled, I tried to bite the brush.
I felt disgust as a child at the sight of my mother's obsession.
I'm so miserable that a middle school teacher in the countryside, a man who doesn't even have a name in the world, laughs so much.
And now I'm just as amazed at my stupidity as I am walking the same path as my father.
You should have drawn that feeling as it is.
The words written here are more realistic than the words you have just spoken, and I don't feel any pressure.
Why don't we start from the end?
The end?
I'm the one who spilled blood on that miserable corpse and wiped my father's body covered in blood.
Do we start from here?
But that's where the story of my father ends.
What I want to know is what's ahead.
What's ahead?
Why did a boy who thought his father was an obsession, a boy who wiped his father's body covered in blood, start walking the same path as his father?
I want to know about him.
Then it will be my story.
You can write your own story.
This is bad.
I can't write my own story.
Smile!
What?
Your face!
Now!
Komari-chan, tell them I'm Kawaiya.
Come on, let's go.
Don't go!
You should be on my side.
I want to talk more with you.
I want to hear your opinion.
Please forget everything.
Everything?
Everything that happened to you, everything you said, everything you said.
What if I say I won't forget?
Yoshibara's dream will disappear overnight.
It will disappear overnight.
There are things that don't disappear.
Your eyes...
Hey, Kirino!
Mr. Kataoka?
Hey, Kirino!
Mr. Kataoka?
Hey, Mr. Kataoka?
KON-CHIWA, KON-CHIWA, KON-KON-CHIKI
It was sold to me by Yoshiwara
His name is Hojuro
It's a lie to say you don't know
It was sold to me by Yoshiwara
Hey, Kensei, give this to Saijo-sama later, okay?
Yes!
Sis!
What is it?
Even if you don't force your way in,
I'll still be able to deal with Saijo-sama!
I won't let you get bored!
That's a lie!
Saijo-sama isn't bored!
Chori-chan!
We're just going to go eat some dango!
Even so, it'll help.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go!
But...
Aoi-chan!
Come on, hurry up!
Come on, it's fine.
Aoi-nee-san, you love Saijo-sama, don't you?
Mari-chan.
Stop it.
Okay.
Oira.
It's really getting late in Canada.
Yes.
It's really getting late in Canada.
Yohei.
It's going to get busy again when the market opens.
What's going to happen then?
What is it?
Kirino Ichiro.
A young writer who fell in love with a beautiful oiran.
The one from Sanagi?
The young man who wrote the novel
fell in love with a beautiful oiran,
but when he found out that the oiran show was going to be held,
he stood in front of the oiran to make me laugh.
Is this Tenmazu?
He's a liar.
He said that the oiran show was the first Yoshiwara.
Is that so?
I heard it from Tsurumatsu-nee-san.
That's true.
There will be more people who will laugh at this.
Even if you forget how to laugh,
no one will understand.
Men like to be surprised.
But she laughed.
She looked at him in his room and laughed.
Komari, that's your misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding?
What do you mean?
Komari, I'll read you a book.
Really?
I'll read you anything.
Then let's go.
Don't worry. I'll be right there.
OK.
Ryohei.
I didn't hear anything.
I'll give you this sake.
Are you OK?
I'm sorry.
I put it in this sake.
But it's rare to have such a strong smell.
I'm sorry.
You've known Ryohei since the first time you saw him.
Yes.
Thanks to Ryohei, I didn't break my heart.
There's a kind-hearted man in the car.
I don't want to hear that.
Can you do me a favor?
What is it?
I can't forgive this man.
He's trying to make me angry.
Tell him I'm angry.
He'll tell me where he lives.
I won't go even if I want to.
Hey.
What?
What are you going to do?
I won't do anything.
You won't tell anyone, will you?
No.
I'm counting on you.
Yes.
I'm in trouble.
How do you do?
Kirino-sensei.
Kataoka-san.
Dosa-dosa.
What is this?
It's a love letter for you from the newspaper.
It's called a love letter.
Mori-san, I'm so happy.
Thanks to you, the newspaper is selling well.
So, how is it?
Did you write the introduction of Kirino-sensei?
For now.
I'll put it on the shelf.
Hey, hey, hey.
What is it?
I'm here today
because of my mother and sister's support.
No, no.
Don't write a thank you letter to your family.
Write a love letter.
A love letter?
If it's difficult to write a love letter,
it can be your girlfriend's hobby.
They want to know that.
I'll make you feel better.
Kirino Ichiro.
A young writer who fell in love with a beautiful woman.
You're my brother.
But, this is a good one.
With this really good photo of you,
this shadow is so mysterious.
This shadow is so mysterious.
That's a fake.
Kataoka-san made it.
It doesn't matter if it's a fake or a fake.
A journalist, Ohashi-san, said
that a photo is the first thing to get people's attention.
He also raised Higuchi Jiyo-san.
Yes.
Comparing that photo with the bamboo,
the Bungei Club became very popular.
It was painful that Higuchi-san passed away,
but Ohashi-san's reputation as an editor rose.
It was painful that Higuchi-san passed away, but Ohashi-san's reputation as an editor rose.
I'm aiming for that person.
Actually, I'm trying to get Mori-san to write a series of newspapers for you.
A series?
Mori-san says it's still early, but I'm stepping on the chance now.
After all, you are popular now, so I'll follow you later.
Um, that's...
I'll rewrite it so that women drool.
This is my specialty.
You write a series and share it.
I'm in trouble.
At that time, Seira realized that she would no longer be used as a scapegoat like before, and that there was a big change in her fate.
The reason is...
I'm going to make a new video.
Oga.
Good morning, Mr. Amanushi.
You're back early.
Are you going to the school again?
It's about the car boy's dream.
The rich man will save you, right?
What about Aoi and Midori?
I've paid them. I'm sure they'll eat something.
I'm sorry for everything.
You've done it.
Mr. Mori is a wise man, too.
It is reported that you were set up to get a novelist named Kirino.
Did you hide it and lose it?
Because you are kind.
But you looked surprised when you saw that man at that time.
And you did it suddenly.
I've been wondering why.
I laughed.
Komarin, who laughed?
Don't go into the room. I need to talk to Saisho- sama.
Come here.
Komarin, don't go.
She's unconscious.
It can't be you.
Did you laugh?
No, I didn't.
Look at her eyes.
Who did you laugh at?
It was Komarin's dream.
Tell me the truth.
It was a dream.
It can't be you.
Why are you crying?
No...
This is...
Whose tears are these?
No...
I won't tell you!
Busshi!
I won't tell you!
I'm sorry!
Oga!
Wait!
Oga!
So you didn't know what was in the newspaper?
No.
I see.
I'll leave it at that.
Thank you.
But...
You shouldn't write lies in the newspaper.
Are you all right?
You seem a little hot.
I'm sorry.
Did you catch a cold?
Drink some eggs.
You'll feel better.
I'll leave it at that.
I have a question.
What is it?
How much does it cost to meet Mr. Oga in Yoshiwara?
I heard it would cost a lot just to talk to him.
Oga Oiran is...
Hojuro's assistant.
I know that.
He has a special name.
And that newspaper made him popular again.
50 yen.
No.
It might be more than that.
No way.
He's a very rich man.
Then why don't you call him here?
What?
No.
You really don't know Yoshiwara, do you?
Can't I?
Just a little.
I need a way to get out of Yoshiwara.
The Girokawas are most afraid of being chased out of the O-Mon.
The only way to get out of the O-Mon is either to be seen by someone or to die.
That's why there are so many fires in Yoshiwara.
If you start a fire, you'll get caught in the flames and be chased out.
I heard that Mr. Oga was seen by Mr. Saijo.
That's just a rumor.
No, Mr. Saijo himself admitted it.
Mr. Saijo?
Yes.
Is that so?
That's great.
He'll take good care of me.
Then you'll be able to see him.
What?
Mr. Oga can get out of the O-Mon.
No, you can't do that.
Why not?
I'll belong to Mr. Saijo.
You can't get in the way of my happiness.
Will he really be happy?
Mr. Saijo thinks highly of me.
What I'm asking is Mr. Oga's feelings.
Does he think he's happy to belong to Mr. Saijo?
I'm sure he does.
Can you give this to Mr. Oga?
What is it?
I wrote it for Mr. Oga.
No, you can't give it to your lover.
It's a novel.
A novel?
It's a story I wrote for her.
Please.
Please!
What happened to you?
Saijo-sama came back with a lot of blood.
I've never seen such a Saijo-sama!
Saijo-sama said that I'm his official wife.
What? But what about your grandson?
He said that he returned home with a lot of blood.
Congratulations, Saijo-neesan! You're so lucky!
Shut up!
So, what did he say?
Nothing.
What? That's why Saijo-sama is angry!
I knew it! I knew it was Houjirou-no-shoku!
He waited for your answer!
You're right!
What's going on, Nashi?
After the news, the minister, who is expected to be Oga Oiran-wo,
is going to finish Saijo-sama's sisterhood.
He's waiting in a row!
What do you think, Oshoku?
Saijo-sama is going to work at the Nenki Akeba,
because we're going to protect him well.
How long will it take to open?
Half a year, if we have enough customers.
Half a year?
Well, we still have a lot of work to do, so please take your time.
But I'm the only one who can take a break in this cherry blossom season.
If we don't have enough customers, we'll have to pay a lot of debt.
We'll have to write love letters and send them off.
Or we'll have to send the finger of a dead person from a merchant.
It's going to be a big mess.
Hey, you guys should learn from your sister, too.
Yes!
Thank goodness!
I don't want to learn from you.
Aoi-chan, what are you saying?
I don't know!
I don't know how you felt when you were with Saijo-sama.
Aoi-chan!
I'm so happy to be called a real wife and brother!
I'm living with a painful memory, but I'm being called Yoshihara!
Why don't you give me a good answer?
That's because...
It's for the sake of the shop and...
Even if I'm called Yoshihara, I'll still be Saijo- sama's wife.
I'll be his wife.
Aoi-chan, stop it!
The shop has its limits.
Is that even possible?
Aoi-chan!
I'm the one who's been cut down and forced to work!
That's enough!
I hate you!
You mustn't say that!
Why not?
You know the rules of the car.
You can't steal someone's friendship.
You mustn't say things like that, even if you were to avoid them.
Do you understand?
Hey!
Put her to sleep. You go get Yoyo.
Yes!
Komari, what's wrong?
You're not mad at me.
Why?
Because you laughed at me.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm so glad.
Go back to your room.
Yes!
Oiran.
How was it?
That's enough.
But if you write a reply to this, who should I give it to?
Reply? Oiran.
I can't give it to someone I hate.
I have to give it to someone I can keep a secret from.
I know that.
Oiran.
If you really want to write it...
Oiran told me to become a postman.
Yes.
No matter what...
I have read your manuscript over and over again.
Because I am so happy.
You wrote a story just for me.
I thought this manuscript was very good.
I was surprised at your courage.
You did not fear and revealed everything.
And you say it's my turn next.
You say you want to know more about me.
You say I need to reveal myself.
I have decided.
I will tell you only what I have kept secret and what I must keep secret.
But if you think you do not have the confidence to keep the secret...
Please tear up the manuscript before it is read.
I trust you as much as you trust me.
But first...
And then...
Wait!
Yubikiri Genman!
Yubikiri Genman
3,2,1, Go!
Let's do it together, let's do it together
If you don't know, you can't show it
It's a long way to go
If you don't know, you can't show it
It's a long way to go
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the garden of the temple.
Come here, Mr. Cherry Blossom.
Mr. Cherry Blossom of the garden of the temple.
I'm not Mr. Cherry Blossom of the garden of the temple.
I can't get my eyes off you, Mr. Cherry Blossom.
Mr. Cherry Blossom of the garden of the temple.
You'll be in trouble if you get your eyes off me.
Ladies, this year's cherry blossoms really smell good.
How do they smell?
They're really good.
I'd be so glad if you could smell them.
I'm sure they will smell good.
You're right.
I'm not Mr. Cherry Blossom of the garden of the temple.
I'll do my best.
I'm not going to let you get away with this.
This is the last time I'll let you get away with this.
What's the matter with you?
Aren't you guys a dead boy?
Dead boy? Are you still an amateur?
Are you still a baby?
Shut up!
You're so cute.
I'll give you a taste.
Me too.
I'll give you a taste.
Me too.
You idiot!
You're going to eat my head.
I got a dango from the owner of the farmhouse.
Would you like some?
Thank you very much.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Did you have a daughter who went to an elementary school with Hojuro's husband?
She's not my daughter.
She's a tenant.
Do you want me to help you?
I'll bring you some tea.
But you can't.
You can't treat a tenant's daughter like that.
A tenant's daughter?
I'll give you a taste.
I'm envious of her.
What's a tenant?
He's a great man.
He's from a different world.
He lives in France.
What's a tenant's daughter doing in Yoshiwara?
A tenant's daughter?
She was deceived by a man who manages the estate.
She came crying to her father.
Why? Are you a debtor?
The tenant's daughter is going to be deceived.
That's not true.
My father is a great man.
He will return the money.
I hope so.
I'll treat you well if I get 2,000 yen.
Don't go.
Hey, you guys.
Get out of here.
Stop it.
I'm going to pick up my father.
I'm going to pick him up.
Hey, you.
Take him away.
Why me?
You can't catch up with the old woman.
Try to escape from the gate.
You'll be caught.
Are you a young lady?
She's a debtor.
But my father will come to pick me up.
Shut up.
Go.
You guys, get up.
Clean up the mess.
Wait! Calm down!
I don't want to be with him anymore! I'm going home!
But Dad told you to stay here, didn't he?
He did! He did, but...
Oh, this is bad.
Hey!
Look me in the eye!
In the eye?
Yes!
My grandma used to say,
whether you're good or bad,
whether you're lying or not,
you can tell by looking in the eye.
In the eye?
I'm a thousand years old.
Hey, I'll show you something good.
Come with me.
Hey.
Hey!
Okay, let's go.
Believe in me!
This is a secret place!
Come on!
If you can see the cherry blossoms in Nakano-cho,
I love looking at them from here!
It's so beautiful!
Those cherry blossoms are only in bloom in spring,
and they wither when spring is over.
Is that so?
Yes.
It's hard to make the cherry blossoms bloom beautifully.
That's why it's amazing that I was chosen as a cherry blossom craftsman in Yoshiwara.
I'm fast, but I'm the best in Ueki-cho.
But if they bloom all at once and wither all at once, I'll be lonely.
That won't happen. I have a plan.
Do you know what it is?
I don't know.
Why? It's not a big deal to be an elementary school student.
Because I don't study the cherry blossoms of Yoshiwara at school.
We plant Hayazaki cherry blossoms and Osuzaki cherry blossoms in the jungle.
The earliest cherry blossoms are Higan cherry blossoms.
Oh, that's right.
Now is the best time.
The next cherry blossoms are Shidare cherry blossoms.
Yoshino cherry blossoms are the best.
By the time Yaezaki cherry blossoms bloom, the cherry blossom season in Yoshiwara will be over.
And Sato cherry blossoms are the most popular.
The scent of cherry blossoms is the strongest.
That's why.
It smells good.
I can't help it even if I throw it away.
I've been sold to Shoshinsho-mei.
There is no food that can be eaten by a man of a hundred.
The lord of Uekichi told me that I bought it so cheaply that I would laugh.
That's terrible.
But thanks to him, I met cherry blossoms.
It's my dream to be a first-rate cheat like you, boss!
Wa-ha-ha!
What?
Laugh! You too!
Wa-ha-ha!
You have to laugh when it's unfair.
Why?
If you laugh, you can forget about the unfairness.
You can be happy.
You'll be bullied by everyone because you'll be swollen and swollen.
Laugh! Wa-ha-ha!
Wa-ha-ha!
Stand up!
Wa-ha-ha!
Louder!
Wa-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha!
What a funny way to laugh!
I imitated you!
You should be laughing!
You should laugh not for anyone, but for yourself!
For myself?
Yes! You should laugh for yourself!
You have to laugh!
Ha-ha-ha!
Oh, no! I have to go!
But...
Don't be afraid to laugh!
Hey!
Senta-san!
What? Another book?
This is a book I borrowed from Yayoi-san.
Shio-ko-sho?
Shou-ko-jo.
It's interesting.
Do you want to read it, Senta-san?
Huh?
There are a lot of books for women.
No.
I can't read.
What?
Don't be so surprised.
There are a lot of people like that.
Well, I don't mind if you don't know anything.
I'll teach you.
Huh?
I'll teach you how to smile.
Oh!
This is the kanji for sakura.
Senta-san, you have to remember this.
Sakura?
First,
short, horizontal, vertical, and long.
Next to that, this is the kanji for tree.
Tree?
Next to that, there are three small dots.
Underneath that, there's a horizontal bar.
This is the kanji for woman.
Oh, woman.
There's a woman standing next to a tree.
That's sakura.
It's easy to remember, right?
One more time.
Short, horizontal, vertical, and long.
Next to that, this is the kanji for chance.
What?
I can't do it.
Senta-san.
What?
If you remember the kanji, you'll be able to read a book about sakura.
What?
There are things that you don't know.
What?
If you get new knowledge,
the world of Senta-san and sakura will expand.
What?
You should learn for yourself.
You have to learn!
I can't believe it. I can't even poop.
Yay!
Do you laugh in front of everyone?
What?
Then you can't be bullied.
But I feel bad.
You're still a weirdo.
I wonder.
I'll give you this as a reward for laughing.
Kanzashi? The shape of a cherry blossom?
Did you make this, Senta-san?
No way!
You're so good at this. It's so cute.
And it smells so good.
I made it with cherry blossom branches.
I'm so happy.
Put that on.
Why don't we go to the night cherry blossom festival tomorrow night?
Huh?
It's the first time I've been in charge of cherry blossom maintenance.
It's beautiful, so I want you to see it.
Of course I'll go.
All right!
But when can I leave the store?
Whenever you want.
I'll hang around after the maintenance.
Oh, no. I have to go.
What's that?
Bye.
Senta-san!
Yeah?
Thank you so much for the cherry blossom Kanzashi.
I'll treasure it.
I'll protect it.
You always smile like that.
I'll always smile for you, Senta-san.
Then I'll always...
I'll always protect Masa-chan!
I can't get out. I can't!
Masa-chan! Masa-chan!
Mom...
What can I do for you?
My father is here.
You came to pick me up.
Where are you?
I'm sorry, but I'm back.
I have to return the money I lent you.
What?
Sit over there.
Masako, from now on you are Hojirou's daughter.
Daughter?
Your father sold you to us.
That's a lie.
It's true.
Poor thing.
My father...
My kind father would never sell me.
That's a mistake.
A waste.
A waste?
It's official that he sold you to us.
It's my father's signature.
What do you think?
It's true, isn't it?
Let me go.
Be careful.
It's an important item.
I won't be sold.
You have two sisters.
If you are smart, you will understand.
A father like you doesn't know how to work,
so the money you sell will be gone soon.
My lord, you may sell your sister this time.
But if you work and support your family,
everything will be fine.
How old are you?
I've just turned 16.
That's just right.
I'm well-mannered and well-educated.
I'm ready to serve you any time.
Let's do it on a special day.
Tomorrow?
You don't have to worry about water.
I've already chosen my partner.
Who is it?
It's Ichioka-sama.
He's been keeping an eye on me.
I've already received the advance payment.
Your room is here.
Yes.
Now then...
I have to decide on a name.
It's a bit like Miyabino, who used to live here.
He's finally working for me.
By the way, Masako's mother's name is Miyabi.
It's the first store in Yozakura.
How about Sakura, Miyabi, and Oga?
That's a good name.
I've decided.
From now on, you're Hojuro's Oga.
Work hard.
You have a nose.
You'll be a good man.
Eh?
Are you going to quit?
Yes.
Make sure this girl's hair is the first store.
Yes.
Let's choose a kimono.
Yes.
Rio-chan, it can't be helped if it's like this.
If it's fate, we have no choice but to accept it, right?
Good, good! It's blooming beautifully!
It's beautiful!
Hey, you over there, do your best and bloom bigger!
It's okay! Fate is a strong tree!
The cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully, too!
Good!
Ah, I wonder if Masa-chan is still not coming.
It can't be helped. Let's go to Kojiro's place.
Ah! This one!
Um, um...
A short side stick, a long vertical stick, and a chon chon.
There are three points.
It's a side stick that bends and shoots.
There's a woman standing next to a tree with a hair accessory!
Hey! What the hell are you talking about?
Hey, isn't this the character for cherry blossoms?
Huh? Yeah, you're right.
All right! I remember! I remember my cherry blossoms!
All right!
This is a king.
Huh?
Sakura and Miyabi.
There are four kings.
Sakura is the king?
Yeah.
Why is that?
Um...
Well, that's what it is.
What do you mean, that's what it is?
Hey, get out of the way.
This is the factory of the first store.
Whose?
You'll know when you hear it.
I don't care!
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Mr. Oga, the first customer of the day.
He is the daughter of a nobleman.
He has been to France before.
His skin is elegant, as soft as a cherry blossom.
It melts in your mouth.
This is the first time I've seen such a fine man.
I've come to receive my first customer.
This is Mr. Ichioka. I've been waiting for you.
Oga, you've given me a good name.
Thank you very much.
Please take a good look at Hojuro's Hatsuzakura and Yoshiwara's Yozakura.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Oga, the first customer of the day!
You're kidding, Masa-chan.
Ichioka-sama, we've prepared a special room for you tonight.
Masa-chan!
Sento-san!
Masa-chan! Don't go! Don't go!
What's wrong with you? Be quiet!
Masa-chan! Don't go!
That's enough!
Sento-san! Stop!
Masa-chan!
Sento-san!
Stop!
I promised to protect Masa-chan, didn't I?
Laugh.
Come on, laugh.
A young woman's smiling face is alluring.
Laugh.
A young woman's smiling face is alluring. Laugh.
What a nuisance.
Ehhhhhhhh!
Kon-chi-wa, Kon-chi-wa, Kon-Kon-Chi-Ki
Kon-Chi-wa, Kon-Kon-Ki
I'm sure she'll be a good wife.
One more time.
What are you doing?
You don't have to kill me.
It's not a good thing.
It's the momentum.
It can't be helped.
It's the center that's bad.
Your Lordship, I don't want to talk about this at all.
Damn it.
It's a problem when a person dies in the first show,
and the opposite doesn't happen to Oga.
If the center suddenly disappears,
everyone will think it's strange.
You can say that Asako ran away because she couldn't stand being me.
But she...
I'll chase after the center.
Don't chase her.
She's carrying the whole family.
It's easy at first glance.
It's burnt.
Is that so?
No, it's still hard.
Interesting.
Did she really write this?
I read your letter.
First of all, I was surprised at your ability.
You should be a writer.
No, you're already a great writer.
I am now
I'm drowning in the deep.
In your way of life
I'm drowning in the deep.
My life is
less than the time you spent.
No, it's less than the time you spent.
I understand why you don't laugh.
You don't laugh for Senta.
You can't laugh.
But will that be a reward for Senta?
If you can make a smile from your heart,
Senta will be happy.
Your smile.
Senta wants it.
Above all, you have to be happy.
Absolutely.
This is a request from me to you.
I want you to receive this.
I, who have the same name as Senta,
have the right to send this request.
It's a request.
Onee-san, Saijo-sama is here.
You're early.
Onee-san said it's a book room.
Aoi-chan said to Saijo-sama,
Take me to eat udon.
And she went to eat udon.
Is that so?
Ah, it's Midori-nee-san.
She said she doesn't like Shokouji.
She's not like Seira.
Maybe she is.
That's a story.
Komari-chan only dreams.
It's okay to dream.
It's okay.
If it's just a dream, I don't care.
Ah, I'm here.
The government official is here.
He wants to see me.
I'm still Saijo-sama's sister.
No matter how many times I say it,
I can't go home until I see you.
But you're the government official, right?
I can't help it.
Oba-san, Saijo-sama is here.
You're talking to Aoi-san, right?
Yes.
Since it's the first meeting,
I'll let you go to the dining room.
When Saijo-san comes back,
we'll have a good time together.
I'm counting on you.
If you don't show me your face...
I understand.
Ah, that's great.
I have to get my hair done.
I'm going back to my room.
You haven't come yet.
What are you doing today?
If my hair is like this, I won't come out.
I thought you'd say that.
I put a story on my hair.
I'm leaving.
I don't know what to say.
Midori-chan.
Aoi!
When Yohei comes, give this letter to him.
It's urgent.
If I say it's from me, he'll understand.
But listen.
Don't tell anyone.
Don't let anyone else see it.
Make sure you give it to Yohei.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Osho-kun!
Please!
I'm counting on you.
It smells like you!
It smells so good!
Stop it!
Saijo-sama told me to call Oga-nee-san.
Oga-nee-san?
She went to work.
It's not over yet.
She said she needed a helper.
Midori-chan, who wrote that letter?
Oga-nee-san!
It smells like you.
Aoi-chan, give it back!
Oga-nee-san gave it to Yohei-san?
She said she wanted to keep it a secret.
That's suspicious.
What is?
If it's a letter to Yohei-san, it can't be a secret.
Then it's to Saijo-sama.
If it's to Saijo-sama, I'll give it to a man.
Maybe it's a letter to Mabue.
Aoi-chan, don't say such stupid things.
Midori-chan is still a child, so she doesn't know.
Oga-nee-san said she wanted to talk to you about food.
But Saijo-sama is on his way back.
What should we do?
Oga-san!
If it's to Saijo-sama, I can do it.
You two can take her.
But you're alone.
If it's to Saijo-sama, I'll give it back.
Then I'll leave it to you.
I'll take a look at it.
Come on, come on, come on.
Be careful.
Come on, come on, come on.
I don't want to.
I took a look at it in front of my parents.
Hey, why are you so surprised?
Where's Ogawa?
Oh, he's...
He's not feeling well, so he's at the river...
Hey, don't lie to me.
I'm sure he's making everyone's heart break.
Who is he?
He said he was a servant.
I can't refuse.
I see.
Then it can't be helped.
Why are you hiding it?
Don't tell me you don't like it?
I see.
I thought this place was really sexy.
It's a shame.
I was going to get used to it.
You're going to get used to it?
But I don't want to be with you anymore.
Is this my letter?
It's not yours.
Then whose is it?
It's Oga's.
Oga's?
He's going to give it to Yuhei, the goddess, secretly.
I wouldn't do such a thing.
So, Saijo-sama...
Did you read this letter?
This is a letter from Oga to me.
But you always...
It's a game.
It's fun to play a game secretly.
You just broke the law of Yoshiwara.
You said it was a secret to Sister Moeda,
and even tried to steal her familiarity.
But that's...
If I find out, I'm sure you'll be kicked out of here,
and you'll sell your body while smelling the smell of Ohagurodobu.
That's...
That's not...
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
Chief...
Tell Oga that I gave the letter to Yohei.
This is a secret to Midori and Komari.
They don't know where the rumors are coming from.
Thank you, Chief.
Now, go back to your room.
It's true that you have the right.
You read my long, long letter.
Long, long letter?
If I can make you smile from the bottom of my heart,
I'm sure she'll be happy.
But can I laugh?
I want to make her happy.
I want you to be happy.
But I don't know if it's okay.
You have the same pure eyes as she does.
And her soul has the same eyes as yours.
I don't know who I'm writing to.
But I think Masako should receive your letter.
If Masako is still in my heart,
I'll be old in six months.
Can you wait for Masako?
If you wait for me,
I'm sure Masako will smile.
As you wish.
She'll be happy.
As you wish.
Please wait for my reply.
I'm sure.
What's this?
Who did she write to?
Oh, Master Sanjo.
I'm all alone.
Where's the doctor?
Bring Yohei here.
Yohei? He's not here yet.
What is it, Yohei?
While I'm acting,
is there anyone else who met Oga?
Master Sanjo, you're asking about Oga.
I'm asking if there's anyone else who met Oga.
No, there isn't.
Really?
Yes, I'm sure.
Call a man.
A man with a hard mouth.
You have eyes as pure and clean as his.
Yes, sir.
Bring Yohei to the white house.
But don't make a fuss. I'll wait in the white house.
Wait. I'll move a little.
Mr. Yohei.
Who is Yohei?
Well, it doesn't matter.
I think I can get a newspaper serialization.
What?
Mr. Tamura, who is in charge of it, couldn't write anything.
So I decided to let you do it.
In other words, the theme is Hiren.
It's nothing, Azuma Newspaper.
I want your popularity.
Hiren.
First of all, I want you to write a notice.
A notice?
It's a synopsis.
If you open it soon, the wind will blow here from next month.
There's no time next month.
So, you're in charge of it now.
I'll work with you on your editorial rights.
I won't take a step out of here until I write a notice.
I'm going out for a minute.
Hey, what are you talking about?
There's something I really want to confirm.
A woman?
Well, that's it.
Hey!
Don't make such a cute face.
Well, I'm glad that was a male.
Let's see.
Poor you.
You are very nice.
Please be confident.
This is the power of that photo.
I'll risk my life to save you from your sorrow.
You can risk your life.
I bow to you, Kirino's teacher.
I'll protect you.
Is this Saejo?
It's Kataoka, the editor of Azuma Shimbun.
Mr. Kataoka, the editor.
I'm here to congratulate you.
It's about Kirino.
I heard about the news about Azuma Shimbun from Mr. Mori.
That's fast.
And the teacher?
Please come in.
I was going to make canned food today, but you're going to the girl's place.
Yoshihara's?
No, I don't have money.
I'm going to Yasujoro or something around here.
This is my love letter to Kirino.
I've been sending it to the company.
Kirino, I can make it for you.
What is this?
Let's go celebrate.
This is too much.
I'm sorry, but it's also a celebration for Mr. Kataoka, the editor of Azuma Shimbun.
Is that so?
I'm sorry, but I'm a little hungry.
It may take some time.
I'd like to relax.
I can take a break, too.
Relax.
I'm going to relax.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry. I caught a cold.
But I'm glad you're conscious now.
I can call the doctor now.
No, I have to go to Oiran.
You can't go now.
But you came here because you couldn't wait for my answer, right?
I'm sure Oiran is waiting for me to go.
Doctor, my heart is always dancing.
It's the first time I've seen her dance like that.
When I was alive, I had a daughter about the same age as Oiran.
She died of a rare disease with her mother.
So I want her to be happy.
It's a cliché, but it's difficult to say.
But now I know.
She treats me like a normal girl.
She's not a saleswoman. She's a normal girl.
I'm happy about that.
I'm sure Oiran is happier because I'm happy.
I won't change my mind no matter what you say.
Doctor, please save Oiran.
Mr. Yohei, hang in there!
Why? Why didn't you tell me anything?
I'm the only one who has the right to make you happy and smile, aren't I?
I'm the only one, aren't I?
But why?
Why did you do everything to a man you've only met once?
Hey!
Are you kidding me?
Are you the same as her?
Are you that kind of woman?
There's no way I can live like this.
Oh, it's raining so suddenly.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Well, anyway, let's have a drink first.
Thank you for your patience.
What?
Oh, no!
An important guest and...
No, no, no!
I don't know what it means to be rich.
Is this a post office or a hospital?
If you do something bad, you'll be punished.
I see.
Ms. Kirino!
You scared me! It's been a while.
Mr. Saizo.
Thank you for your help that day.
Oops, I'm getting wet.
Let's go inside.
No, my room is right over there.
I was waiting for you to come back in that room.
What?
Oh, Mr. Toyo.
Let's go inside.
I'm sorry.
I heard about the newspaper serialization from Mr. Mori and came to celebrate.
It hasn't been decided yet.
It's still in the works.
Still in the works?
Actually, there was a letter from Mr. Oga in your room.
I came to ask about it.
Oh, I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
Mr. Oga told me that he wrote about Ms. Senta to Ms. Kirino.
I was embarrassed and came to check it out.
Of course, if it hasn't arrived yet...
Mr. Saizo, do you know about Ms. Senta?
No.
The letter...
He said it was a secret to everyone.
He said he never told anyone.
Mr. Toyo.
Oga and I have known each other for a long time.
That secret is also my secret.
But it was true.
What?
I thought Oga had a dream.
Mr. Toyo and Oga only met once on that road.
But I didn't think...
Is it because of your eyes?
What?
Your eyes are similar to Ms. Senta's.
That's why...
My eyes are similar to yours?
Yes.
Please don't tell anyone about Ms. Senta.
It's a secret between the three of us.
Excuse me.
Teacher, have you heard of this?
What?
A writer telling a writer about his life is like telling a story.
No, I...
No, I'm wrong.
Oga wrote that story because he knew you were a writer.
He was unconsciously hoping that you would write a story about Senta.
That's not true!
No!
He wanted to leave a proof of the existence of a young man named Senta, who had been killed by Muzan.
Now that I think about it, it's true.
If...
If you were to tell that story as your own work, it would be yours, wouldn't it?
That's...
Yes.
Then...
Teacher, will Oga be released?
From what?
From Senta!
From his past with Senta!
That's right!
He'll be released from his past!
He'll be released, Teacher!
If he's released from his past and free, Oga will be happy!
Don't you think so?
Released?
Teacher!
Kinno-sensei, please!
Please write a story about Senta!
Well, that's all.
Please!
Mr. Saito!
Please!
Let me go home!
Please!
Mr. Saito!
You're amazing!
You're a great actor!
But I'm tired.
I think I drank a lot.
I feel like someone is moving the room.
Oh, you're late.
Mr. Saijo was waiting for you for a while to celebrate the newspaper serialization.
I got this. You can do it too.
Did Jorô beat you?
Did he beat you?
From a woman.
I got a long letter from a woman.
What about it?
It said it was a secret.
Only between me and her.
But it wasn't true.
Other men knew it too.
That's common.
Someone said,
It's the will of the writer to write about his life,
and to make it into a work.
I'm sorry.
You'll understand when you grow up.
People will gossip about my life and my story.
But if you say it's a secret...
I want you to write that secret.
But you should write a notice.
Do your best.
What's wrong?
To be honest, I don't understand.
What?
To be honest, I don't understand anymore.
A woman?
That's good. Write it.
Write about me now.
Spit it out.
That's what being a writer is all about.
Hey, Kirino.
What do you write for?
For what?
For money?
For honor?
Or for that woman?
That's...
Listen.
Write for the most important thing in your life.
For that, you can do anything.
Get dirty.
Rot.
Die!
What's important is what you want.
What you want to write.
Who you want to write for.
What you want to get.
That's what you want.
Understand?
That's the spirit!
I'm going to call Mr. Mori!
My desire...
A secret...
Do you believe me?
Which do you believe in?
We've only met once.
What do you mean, only once?
Kirino!
This secret...
That man's secret...
But I told the other men about it!
But that doesn't matter.
What matters is whether that man wants it or not!
Whether he wants freedom and liberation or not!
Think, Kirino.
Think with your head, not Saizo's!
Think with your head!
The moment this secret was delivered,
a huge carrot called the newspaper's serial was hanging from its stem!
And it was the king's wish!
What is this coincidence?
Did that man bring it?
Then that man is my goddess!
Muse!
No, wait, don't be hasty!
Think! Think!
What would happen if I didn't write this?
Miss Kataoka would miss out on the serial,
and I would miss out on the opportunity to be a writer.
If that were to happen, I wouldn't be able to save that man.
That man is Yoshiwara Ichino's favorite.
A rich woman!
Am I, who doesn't have money,
forced to watch Saizo's serial with my fingers crossed?
I don't want that!
I absolutely don't want that!
I have to be the first to see that man's movie!
I absolutely don't want to give up that honor!
I don't want that!
I absolutely don't want that!
I don't want that!
I will rot, I will be defiled, but I will go out into the world to meet you!
This is my desire! Desire! Desire! Desire!
You, who became a victim of the Meiji era, and a victim of your family,
You, who fell from the top to the bottom,
You are the Nara of Japan!
Isn't this what I want to write the most right now?
I will create a new form of Japanese liberal arts!
Ah, Masako! Masa-chan!
I am grateful to you!
I will face your writing,
I will create a work that will not lose to your output as Kirino Ichiro!
And when I finish writing the series, I will go to see you right away!
I will go to receive your criticism!
If you like it, I will fly up!
And at that time, I hope,
I strongly hope!
Your smile, yes,
Show me your smile!
Kirino, how are you?
Kirino?
Hey! Wake up!
Is there anyone sleeping?
Hey!
Wow, this guy is peeing!
He's writing something.
What?
He's drawing a flower.
A flower?
He's drawing a flower.
A flower?
I heard it from a woman.
She's beautiful.
She's not only beautiful,
She's also ugly.
But she doesn't laugh.
She's not happy.
Is this Ogawoiran?
I'm Ogawa.
Kataoka-kun, you weren't out of your mind, were you?
Mori-san, then...
This will do.
The rest is up to Reisai.
Yes, sir!
That was impressive, Kirino!
Kirino!
What's the matter, Masako?
I've been waiting for your letter.
My letter?
You haven't replied at all.
I've been writing it.
I want to read it soon.
Hurry up!
A dream?
Good morning, sister!
What's wrong? Are you crying, sister?
I hope Komari-chan can be with the person she loves.
I hope she can be happy.
I'll pray for you forever.
Oh, no! It's not good!
Komari!
This morning, the Azuma Shimbun published a report on a new serial.
The author is Ichiro Kirino, the man who disturbed the Oiran Road.
No matter how you read it, it's a story about a saint.
Who told you this story?
What are you up to?
How could you do such a thing?
It's not a lie.
The writer approached me because he wanted a story.
You can tell by looking at the newspaper.
It's easy to be deceived.
You have been deceived by a man named Kirino.
Like that demon, Houjirou Norishoku.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Masako, I'm going to see you.
But my sister did.
Sakura, where are you?
Masako, it's me, Kirino.
I'm here to pick you up.
Masako! Masa-chan!
Come out! Show yourself!
Are you Hirino-sensei?
Where is he?
I'm here to pick you up.
Today, Oga is my guest.
I can't believe it.
Oh, Kirino-sensei!
It's been a long time.
Saito-san!
Can I talk to you for a moment?
I can't believe you're here today.
As I thought, you and Oga are connected by the thread of fate.
It's a weak thread, though.
You're Miyukino?
I was going to take you home earlier, but it took time to prepare.
Prepare?
Yes. Oga is here.
Your novel is too stimulating.
Oga has changed his mind again.
This time, it's about Otsumu.
Why?
Didn't you make him mad?
I did?
He wrote down all the secrets that only you could tell him.
You knew about it, too?
No. I just read Oga's letter in your room that day.
Oga didn't tell me anything.
Did you deceive me?
You told me to set him free.
That's why I...
Oga has been set free.
In a way, he is free.
No!
I didn't want this.
Sister!
I just planted the seeds.
You were the one who raised him.
You wanted to write, wanted to write, wanted to write, wanted to write,
wanted to write a great novel.
I wanted to write,
so I wrote it.
What have I done?
Masako, please come back.
Please come back.
Masako,
it's me, Kirino.
Kirino?
You're hurt.
Senta-san, you're hurt.
I'm sorry.
I...
I drew it.
A finger-cutting show.
If you lie, I'll drink a thousand needles.
Masako-san.
Kirino-san?
I'm glad you came back.
Kirino-san, right?
Yes, I'm really glad.
Sento-san, why did you do that?
It's my fault. I can't go. I...
Kirino-san!
Who did this to you?
Hey! Who did this to you?
Oga, it's you.
Me?
You did it.
Why me?
Because you betrayed me.
Betrayed you?
That man betrayed you.
Come, Ogre. Come here.
I stabbed Kirino.
Come here.
I stabbed her.
Come back!
No.
This knife is wrong. This eye is wrong.
This means you...
Mr. Kirino...
My eyes...
Yes...
Vaginas.
Whaaaa?
Konchiwa, konchiwa, konkonchiki
I've been sold to you by Hoshiwara
He calls himself Kojuro
He says he doesn't know me, but he's lying
I've been sold to you by money, but it's my fate
Ah, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, enjoy
Konchiwa, konchiwa, konkonchiki
I've been sold to you by Hoshiwara
He says he doesn't know me, but he's lying
Enjoy, enjoy, and laugh
This body that can't be tamed
Ah, how pitiful
Ah, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, enjoy
Konnichiwa
The blood-stained blade erases the smell of the swamp
The song of suffering is a joke, let's lie
Ah, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, enjoy
And then...
This is the end.
The end.
I wrote it. Everything.
Yes.
My...
Our story.
That's right.
Ah, your smile.
I won't let you go.
Is this really the place?
There's no mistaking it!
Grandma, I'm here to thank you.
Why me?
Because it's proof!
Oh my! Tenbeni no Fumi!
I knew it was here!
Bishirin!
Can I do it myself?
Isa!
Sakura Fumi
Even if our bodies rot and wither,
our souls will forever be written here as words and characters.
So it's a lonely story, as if in their song
Thank you!
SOPHISTICATED!
No!
Hey, hey!
Mr. Iwasaki!
Do you love me?
Really?
Will you love me forever?
Yes!
I'm happy!
I...
What are you going to do with that?
I want to let Kataoka-san read it.
Let's go.
The scent of cherry blossoms.
The sea that was drawn on your back is a cherry blossom sea that never disappears.
Let's go.
Let's make a knot and weave it together. Ah, is it the true story of the cherry blossom world?
