Kazuha. Shino. It is nearly time.
Kazuha, Shino. It's almost time.
Yes, Mother.
Yes, mother.
All right.
Coming!
The three of you have certainly grown adept at helping with the preparations.
Looks like all of you are getting really good at preparations.
It is welcome assistance during the busy season.
It's a huge help for such a busy period.
Oh, that reminds me!
Here.
Here.
Go treat yourselves to some sweets.
You should all go for something sweet occasionally.
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Mai!
Mai, it's "much appreciated" when expressing gratitude.
We say: "Many thanks."
Yes. I understand.
It slipped my mind.
Well then, you have to give your best today, too.
Now, I expect dedication again today, girls.
Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
Kazuha-san and Shino-san always seem so pretty.
Kazuha-san and Shino-san always look so beautiful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Indeed.
Right.
Ow, what a pain...
Ouch....
Midori-san, are you still not accustomed to your neck support?
Have you not gotten used to the boxed pillow, Midori-san?
Not even close.
Not at all.
It doesn't give you any pain, Riko?
You seem to be doing well, Riko?
I am quite used to it now.
I am largely used to it.
What about you, Mai?
Mai, you?
Same here. My neck still gets a little sore...
Yeah, but my neck still hurts a little.
but sleeping on this thing makes me feel like a maiko, and that puts a smile on my face.
But lying on top of this,
I'd hoped being wet behind the ears as apprentices would have spared us.
gives me a sense of really being an actual Maiko. I'm pretty happy.
Keep at it.
I just hope this apprentice period can be easy.
Right! Let's go prepare breakfast!
There is no helping that.
Okay.
Now, let's start breakfast preparations.
All right.
Ok.
Here at Kikuya, it's up to us as the apprentices to prepare the meals for the proprietress and our geiko and maiko sisters.
Right.
Riko-chan, you call kamado stoves "okudo-san" here in Kyoto, right?
Making breakfast for the land lady and the other sisters at Kikuya.
Yes. I'm surprised you know that.
That's our responsibility as apprentices.
I wanna cook rice on an okudo-san someday.
Riko-chan, Kamado (stove) is called Okudosan in Kyoto, right?
Don't you think it'd make it taste great?
Yes, you really know quite a lot.
It would.
I wonder when will we be able to use the stove?
So what are we putting in the miso soup today?
Seems like it'd be delicious.
Let's decide on the count of two.
Yes.
One, two...
Have you decided on what go with Miso soup?
Seaweed and fried tofu!
Let's decide together.
That's all we've been putting in our soups lately.
One, two!
That's because the soup was delicious when you used those ingredients the other day.
Wakame and Aburaage.
We'll go with them again today, then.
We've been going with that recently.
Okay. I'm gonna go do a round of laundry.
Mai-san remarked that it was delicious the other time.
I shall busy myself with cleaning.
Then, let's go with that today.
Okay.
I'll handle the laundry.
Not bad, huh?
I will do the sweeping.
This is delectable!
It's not too bad.
What's gotten into you, Mai-chan? You're grinning like a cat.
Delicious.
Oh, uh, nothing...
What are you grinning at me, Mai-chan?
Would you like seconds? There's plenty left.
Well, no.... Do you want another bowl of rice?
A dance performance?
Dance recital?
Indeed. It is an event organized by the tourist board.
Correct. Invitation from the tourism board.
They want to view fledglings from each geiko house in action.
Asked if we could assist them.
That sounds splendid.
Good. I think it would be fun.
It should be fun.
The few of you are going be to taking lessons from Miyagawa on Ondo starting today.
Now, you girls...
You will have to dance on the Maiko test. The three of you have to buck up.
I hear that today is the day you finally begin learning the Miyagawa Ondo dance.
Yes.
Your maiko exam will require all three of you to dance,
so ensure you learn the steps thoroughly.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh!
Good day.
Good day.
I always see the three of you together.
You three are always together.
Keep it up.
All the best.
Our instructress was apparently a popular maiko back in the day, who went by the name of Chiyobana...
Our teacher was said to be a famous Maiko known as the "period flower" back then.
We appreciate you sacrificing your day to coach us, Madam Instructress.
We are in your care for today, teacher.
We appreciate it very much.
We are in your care.
Let us get started then.
Shall we start?
If you do well today, I will give you your usual gold stars.
Whoever dances well today gets a Hanamaru.
We will strive for perfection!
We will try our best.
...but to us, she's known as the Gold Star Instructress.
We privately call her as the Hanamaru teacher.
Riko, you danced beautifully.
Riko, you danced well. Have a Hanamaru.
A gold star for you.
It is much appreciated, teacher.
Many thanks, Madam Instructress.
Midori, you have to be softer.
Midori, you need to be more delicate.
Your stance now is stiff like Karate.
At present, your movements resemble karate techniques!
Much appreciated, Teacher.
Many thanks, Madam Instructress...
Mai, it is good you grasp it fast,
Mai, being a fast learner is an admirable trait,
but you have to put more heart into your dance next time.
but next time, put more feeling into your dancing.
It's... much appreciated, Teacher.
Uh, okay...
Hey, wanna drop by somewhere?
Many thanks, Madam Instructress.
Down by?
Hey, why don't we take a detour?
Midori-san, do you have somewhere in mind?
A detour?
Cafe.
Is there someplace you wish to go, Midori-san?
Cafe!?
A café!
Onee-san gave us some allowance a few days ago, didn't she?
A café?
Let's have cake with that.
Remember the spending money our maiko sisters gave us the other day?
What a long queue!
We can get cake with it!
Looks like it's best we give up for today.
That's a really long line!
Hanami-koji is a really popular tourist attraction.
Looks like we'll have to scratch that idea for today.
Let's come next time.
Hanamikoji Street is a popular tourist destination, after all.
I crave for it.
Let's return another day.
Speaking of which, I've been here before during my school excursion.
I really wanted some...
Kyoto was at its rainy season.
This reminds me of the time I visited this street on a school trip.
What are you doing alone somewhere like this?
The rainy season had hit Kyoto.
Are you a student from the excursion?
Why are you out in the rain?
Let me do it myself!
Are you here on a school excursion?
If Kazuha-san did not tell to me that day,
Ah, I can wipe my own cheeks.
the thought of being a Maiko never would have crossed my mind.
If Kazuha-san hadn't called out to me that day,
More importantly, I can never forget those words she said.
I never would've considered becoming a maiko.
I am a Maiko.
And I'll never forget those words...
I feel this is a job rich in heritage.
I am a maiko.
In addition, this is a job that most represents Kyoto.
I view it as a profession imbued with history.
Um, could you take a picture for us?
And one in which you become a true daughter of Kyoto.
Sure.
Excuse me...
Get ready.
Could you take a picture for us?
1 + 1 = ?
Oh, sure.
2
Okay, wait for it...
Thanks so much!
Say cheese.
Welcome.
Cheese!
Are you on a field trip?
Yes, are you from Kyoto?
Well... I guess you could say that.
We are students learning the art of Maiko. Everyone of us is.
Is that true!?
Hey, they are Maikos.
Maiko!? Amazing!
It's kind of embarrassing.
Yeah....
A year ago, I was the one asking for to take photos.
But Mai-san and Midori-san are already Kyotolites.
What?
Really?
Perhaps.
Hey, shall we look for the granny at the draper's store?
Oh, right. It's been a while.
Yes.
The draper's granny we are referring to
is the owner of Itami; a draper store in the district.
She is an old friend of Kikuya's land lady.
You came at the right time. Try some of the snacks.
Right on!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Don't mention it.
It is very much appreciated.
Are you here on a school trip?
That is correct. You should use "much appreciated".
Yes.
It's not too bad.
Are you a native of Kyoto, miss?
It's really good.
Uh...
I agree.
I guess I am now.
Our Kimono and cakes are the best in business.
We're training to become maiko.
That is really beautiful.
Apprentices, basically.
Isn't that right? I especially like this one.
What? Really?
Hey, girls, these three are gonna become maiko!
Maiko? That's amazing!
That was kinda embarrassing.
A year ago, I was the one asking other girls if I could take photos with them.
Still, the two of you have transformed into natives of Kyoto.
What?
You think so?
Most probably.
Hey, can we go visit the draper lady on our way back?
Well, it's been a while, so why not?
Indeed.
Indeed.
By "draper lady," we mean the owner of the long-established draper's shop, Itami,
It's gorgeous.
who is an old friend of Kikuya's proprietress.
You really love Kimonos, don't you? Mai-chan.
Thank you for dropping by.
Yeah, for some reason, I've liked them since I was a child.
I'll fetch you some puddings.
When you become a full fledged Maiko,
Awesome!
i'll send you a Kimono.
Thank you very much!
Me too.
As always, many thanks.
You should ask your father, Midori-chan.
Yes, you must say "many thanks" to show your appreciation.
Your family is so rich, they will surely get you piles.
Not bad, huh?
I don't want to depend on my dad.
It's really good!
Well, what a waste.
Indeed it is.
But this is what I admire Midori-san for.
Naturally.
Then I'll have the cake!
We only stock the finest kimonos and cakes.
That was mine....
That one's very beautiful.
Didn't you say you admired me?
Isn't it just?
What have you written today?
This kimono is my favorite.
About how we met the field trip students.
I knew it!
I see.
It's really wonderful!
You have a fondness for kimonos, don't you, Mai-chan?
Yes! I don't know why, but I've liked them ever since I was a child.
Then, when you officially become a maiko, I shall present you with a kimono from my store.
I-I want one too!
Midori-chan, you should ask your father.
He is a wealthy man. I am certain he would buy you a plethora of magnificent ones.
I don't want to depend on my father.
Why would you not? How wasteful.
I, however, respect that aspect in you.
Good, 'cause I'm taking your cake!
That was mine!
As a token of your respect, yeah?
What are you writing today?
About meeting those girls on their school trip.
Oh, I see!
Do you want to write too, Riko-chan?
Do you want to write too, Riko-chan?
I would love to.
I shall do that.
You sure are dedicated.
The two of you love to write.
I just can't get into writing diaries and stuff like that.
I can never bring myself to write diary or things like that.
Then, we'll write your bit for you, Midori-chan!
We will write your share on your behalf.
That reminds me...
Right, this year's Gion Festival
I've heard that there will be a dance performance hosted by the tourist board in the Gion Festival this year.
will feature a dance recital organized by the tourism association.
Oh yeah, Mother said something about that to our maiko sisters this morning.
Speaking of which, this morning my mother seemed to have mentioned something like that to Onee-chan.
It would be the perfect opportunity for you apprentices to appear onstage, don't you think?
It's a good chance for aspiring Maikos to take the stage.
Ah, the show?
Oh, the recital?
Mother have mentioned about it.
Saying we have to contribute to the programme.
But apparently we are only sending two.
Shino-chan, I failed!
What are you doing?
Two people, which means only two of us get to perform.
What should we do...
Which means Riko is definitely selected.
There's only one left.
It is not confirmed that I will be selected.
You will make it since you get the most Hanamarus.
What's left is whether Mai or me gets it.
But my mom has yet to formally speak to us about it.
Wanna go ask?
But did the draper granny not mention?
Before the land lady brings up the topic,
keep it a secret about me bringing up the matter.
That's right. I don't think it's appropriate for us to ask now.
Well, regardless of who gets picked, no hard feelings and we'll all work hard.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Mother did mention something along those lines, yes.
About how we have two spots to fill.
We are sending out two girls, I believe?
Ah, Shino-chan! I've gone wrong!
Honestly. What are you doing?
Two girls?
So only two out of the three of us will be up on stage?
I don't know.
In that case, you're more or less a dead cert to be picked, Riko,
so that leaves one other spot.
There is no guarantee that I will be cho—
You're a shoo-in for it.
You always get the most gold stars.
It's between me and Mai for the second spot.
But Mother hasn't actually said anything to us about it yet.
Should we ask her?
Though, remember what the draper told us...
Keep what I've said a secret until your proprietress brings it up of her own accord.
Oh yeah...
It wouldn't be a very good idea to ask about it right now.
Anyway, let's keep working hard. Then, there'll be no hard feelings, no matter who gets chosen!
Yeah!
Indeed.
You're up early, Midori-chan.
You're up early, Midori-chan.
It's usually a struggle to get you out of bed.
Normally, you won't wake up no matter how much I try.
Well, starting today, we are rivals, you know.
We are afterall going to be rivals from today on.
Huh?
What?
Uh, let me rephrase that...
Well.... how should I put it?
Each of us needs to do our best.
We have to work hard.
I'd feel bad if I relied on you as a safety net.
I'll feel bad for making you two look after me like before.
I'll be downstairs.
I'll head down first.
That epitomizes Midori-san's character.
Midori-san has this side of her.
Yeah.
Yeah, we have to work hard.
We should be diligent too.
Yes.
Yes.
No, awful! Absolutely awful!
Wrong! Wrong!
What are you playing at, Midori?
What's with you, Midori!
Oh...
Yes.
You've improved lately when it comes to keeping your limbs loose,
Your shoulders have been less stiff lately and your movements have improved.
but you are still too stiff!
Now it's as stiff as before.
And your expression is much too stern!
Your face looks scary, too!
Back to square one, huh?
I'm back to square one....
No, not at all.
That's not true.
I agree.
Yes.
It's all right for you guys...
Both of you have it good today. Managing to get the Hanamarus.
You got gold stars again today.
Sheesh, I have to buck up.
I need to work harder.
Hey, Midori-chan. Wanna drop by the draper's granny store along the way?
Say, Midori-chan, why don't we drop by the draper shop?
Ingredients for dinner have also been bought, so it's fine.
We have ample time to do so as we're under no obligation to buy groceries for tonight's dinner.
I'm not going. Both of you should go.
I'll pass. You two can go.
Knowing Midori-chan, she's probably practicing on her own right now.
Knowing Midori-chan, I bet she's back at the boarding house, reviewing today's lessons.
Yes.
Probably.
It feels sad.
I find it sad that one of us will be singled out to be precluded from performing in the show.
One of us will not perform at the recital.
This isn't right.
That's not right.... Gentler.
It has to be smoother, like this...
Midori-chan, wanna take a break?
Midori-chan, why don't you take a break?
We have cake for you.
We brought some cake back with us.
I'll skip for now. I've to practice or I won't be able to catch up with you two.
Nah, I need to practice some more so I can catch up to you two.
I wonder if Midori-chan is still practicing...
Is Midori-chan still practicing?
Seems like it.
It seems likely.
What will happen if these feelings persist until the recital.
I would rather forgo performing in the event if it meant sparing us of these horrible feelings.
If only the three of us can perform.
If only the three of us could perform together...
Good night.
Good night.
Night.
Night.
Let's choose what we're putting in the miso soup on the count of two.
Let's decide what goes with goes with Miso soup!
All right.
OK.
Just go with whatever you want.
There's no need. Just go with what you what?
No, the three of us will decide together.
No, let's all decide.
One, two...
One, two! Wakame and Aburaage.
Seaweed and fried tofu!
I'm fine with that.
I'm fine with that.
Midori-san seemed sleepy.
Midori-san seems really sleepy.
Looks like she stayed up late last night, practicing.
Looks like she practiced late into the night.
She probably didn't get enough sleep.
Is she not getting enough sleep?
Before we found out about the dance performance, we did all the housework as a group and we practiced together too.
Before hearing about the recital,
I much prefer it when the three of us work together.
it's always the three of us, be it housework or lessons.
I shall busy myself with the laundry.
Since we are all working hard, I'd prefer we do it together.
Here is the kimono you requested.
I'll do the laundry.
Give my regards to your proprietress.
Here, the Kimono I promised.
I will.
Convey my greetings to the land lady.
What's the matter?
Being here by myself on an errand for Mother...
It just doesn't feel the same as when the three of us come here together.
What?
Oh, nothing.
You're acting very strangely.
You're not your usual self, Mai-chan.
I know. I feel strange.
Something just feels amiss.
Time flew by, and the next thing we knew, the Gion Festival was just around the corner.
The Gion Festival is coming up soon, isn't it?
Yes.
Yes.
I wonder what'll happen with that dance performance.
Did something happen?
Is it really going ahead?
I'm here alone today to run an errand for my mom.
Mother hasn't mentioned anything.
But I'd still prefer the three of us together.
I will ask my grandmother outright!
Ah?
Good idea. It might work if her granddaughter just drops it casually into conversation.
It's nothing.
Exactly!
It's strange. You're not like the usual Mai-chan.
Here is your tea.
You're right. It's gotten really strange.
Many thanks.
I feel as if we have become distant.
Grandmother?
Unknowingly, the Gion Festival approaches.
Call me "Mother" for the duration of your instruction.
The Gion Festival is coming soon.
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Yes.
Mother...
What about the recital?
I-I wish to inquire about our upcoming dance performance.
Are we really performing? Mom hasn't told us anything yet.
Oh, you have been made aware of it?
I'll ask granny about it!
Yes, ma'am.
That's right. It's more natural for you as her niece to ask.
I see.
Yes!
It will be your debut, so I have been thinking it over, considering the best course of action,
If you'd please.
but I should come to a decision soon.
Much appreciated.
So we are taking part in the dance performance...
Grandma!
It's time for one of us to be left in the wings.
During work, call me Mom.
And it's definitely going to be me.
Yes.
Don't be so negative.
Mother, it's regarding the dance recital.
There is no decision either way yet.
Oh, so you knew?
It's fine. I'm not looking for your pity.
Yes.
I know better than anyone that I'm a mediocre dancer compared to you two.
That's right. It's going to be a first job.
God!
It's natural to wonder.
I guess it's time to make a decision.
There's really a recital.
Which means that very soon, one of us is going to be left out.
That's surely me.
You never know...
It's yet to be decided.
I'm fine. No need to console me.
My dance is inferior compared to you two. I know that very well.
Midori-chan!
Midori-chan!
I hate everything about this.
I don't wish for this.
I would rather eschew performing at the event than go through this ordeal.
If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't perform at the recital or anything.
What are you saying?
What are you talking about! This is a chance to perform!
This is your chance to dazzle in the spotlight!
Passing up the opportunity for me. You can't say something like this!
You want to miss out on that just for me?
It's been two months at Kikuya for me.
Don't ever say that!
Maiko training is tough.
It's been two months since I came to Kikuya.
But as I have friends working hard together, I was about to carry on.
Training to become a maiko has been tough,
Because Midori-chan and Riko-chan are with me.
but I've made it this far because I've had friends sharing the experience with me.
Hey, why is it that only two of us can attend?
Midori-chan and Riko-chan have always been by my side.
I'll ask mother why can't the three of us perform together!
Say, is it really only going to be two of us performing?
Wait! Mai!
I'll ask Mother if all three of us can perform together!
Wait, Mai!
Mai-san!
Mai-san!
Mother!
Mother!
You have something urgent to tell me?
What's wrong? You look conflicted.
I wanted to ask you about the dance performance.
It's regarding the dance recital.
Do you have to choose only two of us?
Why restrict it to two persons?
Can't all three of us perform?
Can't it be the three of us?
What are you babbling about, girl?
What do you mean?
Well, we heard that only two out of the three of us will get to perform in the event...
Well, it's the dance recital.
I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick.
We heard only two of us would be chosen.
Each geiko house will present their apprentices.
Are you perhaps mistaken?
It goes without saying that all of you will be performing.
The recital is for all Okiyas.
B-But Kazuha-san told us...
Of course everybody has to attend.
...that only two of us would be performing.
But Kazuha-san said
That's what she told us!
only two of us may go.
No, no...
She said that.
Not two people. Two programs.
Wrong. The restriction is for two performances.
What?!
EH!?
S-So when you suggested you had a decision to make, you were talking about...
But when you said it's about time to decide....
I must decide on the programs we will perform so that we do not overlap with the programs of the other houses.
It means to ensure we don't clash with programs of the other Okiyas,
S-So that was what you meant...
we have to decide soon.
Wait, are you trying to tell us...
So that's what it meant.
...that all three of us will be performing?
Which means we....
Naturally.
can perform together?
Th-That's great.
Of course.
Thank goodness.
That's great!
Isn't this wonderful news?
What a relief.
Yes!
Isn't that great!
Yeah!
Yes.
Did I truly say that only two would be performing?
Damn straight!
Yes, you did!
The phrasing might have been different, but we definitely heard you say it.
Oh, then, accept my apologies.
That is marvelous news, though.
It means the three of you will debut together.
We certainly were not afforded that opportunity.
Indeed. This is an auspicious occasion for you.
Give it your all!
She's always like this.
Jeez Louise, Kazuha-san...
Still, thank goodness we are able to perform together.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right, time to decide on the count of two again.
Did I say only two of you can perform?
Yeah!
You did.
All right.
Sure did.
One, two...
The manner of speech might differ, but we clearly heard you.
Seaweed and tofu!
Oh dear. I'm really sorry.
That was amazing!
But isn't that great?
We all said "tofu" at the exact same time!
The three of you having your maiden performance together.
Especially amazing as we usually say "fried tofu."
We didn't have such good fortune.
The three of you certainly get along well.
That's right. How envious.
We do!
Well, give it your best shot, everyone!
The three of you look so elegant.
That's how it is....
Break a leg out there!
Kazuha-san is quite a handful....
We will.
But it's wonderful that we be together.
That was fun.
Yeah.
Indeed.
Then we should also decide that today.
Let's become maiko together, and let nothing stand in our way.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes, let's.
One, two!
Wakame and tofu.
Oh! Fantastic.
We got tofu right.
And aburaage is what we usually go for.
The three of them are really closed.
Yes.
You three look gorgeous.
Give it your best shot!
Sure.
It was really fun.
Yes.
Let's make sure the three of us become Maikos.
Yeah.
Sure.
