Ep. 6: "Both Our Dream"

Episode Synopsis: Otetsu has admitted she is Maho but has to keep the identity of Otetsu in order not to upset Ohiro, the dango-maker. Ohiro, who is sickly and slightly emotionally unstable, had saved Maho and brought her up as her own daughter as a way to replace the child she lost in the fire five years ago. Matsukichi also learns that her father and grandpa did not make it out alive from that fire. Maho makes him promise that they won't see each other anymore. He also promises Maho he will make a firmer agar which Kahei was looking for before he died, as a way to honor him. So he asks Wasuke to let him go to the agar factory to try and come up with a new type of agar, and is allowed. He sets for the agar factory with high hopes... Meanwhile in his absence, Umekichi continues on with the side jobs to help augment their income since the agar business is still put on hold. But to his surprise, he gets an offer to be adopted by the aging couple of Yamashiroya, and to take over their dried fish shop. It seems a good opportunity but he feels worried about Ikawaya's Master and Head clerk who are both getting old as well...
