In episode 25, Tsutaju (Yokohama), who bought Maruya from Kashiwaraya, gets cooperation from Ichi (Kotaro Satomi) to open a store in Nihonbashi in exchange for the "pilfering diagram" possessed by Suharaya (Hio Miyazawa).

Meanwhile, ashes fall on Edo due to the great eruption of Mount Asama. Tsutaju works hard to remove the ash from Toyu-cho. Seeing Tsutaju, Teitei (AI Hashimoto), who had been turned away, is shaken by his actions. Meanwhile, Ichi begins to fall in love with Daresode (Haruka Fukuhara)... and so the story unfolds.

Eventually, Tsutaju and Tei become a married couple, and at the end of the story, "ash falls and the earth solidifies," and the reconciliation between Tsuruya (Shunsuke Kazama) and the Yoshiwara people including Tsutaju is depicted. After the main story, the next episode, episode 26 (broadcast on July 6), is predicted to be about the "Tenmei Rice Riots."
