"He sure is." "What did he call himself?" "Was it Akaishi?" "No, that's not right." "It's Akanishi." "Akanishi Kakita." "Kakita?" "How do you write that?" "You know, kaki, like in "oyster", and ta, like "thick"." "Hey there, guard." "We are Asari and Tsunomata." "Alright." "I shall open the gate." "Right about now, he's playing shogi against a lamp." "What?" "A lamp?" "Yes, I'll show you." "4-6, bishop... 8-4, rook..." "Then 8-6 pawn." "And then rook..." "I see." "You see?" "Wasn't I right?" "Yes." "You're quite clever." "The lamp really is his opponent." "But how good is he?" "Who knows." "He doesn't look like he's too strong." "Besides, his teacher is a lamp." "He can't be that strong." "Maybe I'll challenge him tomorrow." "See you." "9-1, promote the bishop..." "Ah, I see!" "So that's one tactic." "Let's see..." "It sure has been rainy, hasn't it?" "Yes." "It sure has been rainy." "Yes..." "By the way, how was your game against the lamp?" "The lamp?" "Oh." "That game?" "Well..." "If you're free tomorrow, how about one match?" "Against someone like me?" "Please, there will be much I can learn from you." "Well, I'll be seeing you." "Oh, wait!" "Just a moment." "Yes?" "That cat there..." "May I take it off your hands?" "This?" "Yes." "Sure, please have it." "It's a fine one." "At first glance, it has the face of a brilliant mind." "But since you're an acquaintance, let me give it to you." "Damn, I've lost again." "With a two-piece handicap." "I can't ask for more than that." "A samurai's skill on a board doesn't count for much, sadly." "I'm in trouble." "You're too damn strong." "How did it go?" "I'm no match for him." "Akanishi's skill is beyond that of an amateur." "Is that right?" "So his only true opponent is his lamp." "By the way, why were you summoned?" "Well, it's just an errand." "To deliver this to Lord Harada Kai's mansion." "But it's a bother." "What's the problem?" "There is a play being held today." "I promised to attend, thinking I would have the day off." "Does the message need a reply?" "No, as long as it's delivered to him." "Well then, let me do it in your stead." "No, you shouldn't." "That's too much of a burden on you." "I mustn't." "A reply is not expected." "Please wait here for a moment." "That letter..." "There is no need to inspect it." "I've already made a copy of it." "Wh-who are you?" "What about yourself?" "Aozame Masujirô is your alias." "In truth, you are a vassal of Lord Date Aki," "Sir Imamura Hannojô." "And as for you?" "I am Akanishi Kakita." "Vassal to Katakura Kojûrô, the lord of Shiraishi Castle, my real name is Kabakura Nihei." "I had heard rumors from my lord." "So you are Sir Kabakura." "You sure surprised me." "Indeed, I am Imamura Hannojô." "I look forward to working with you." "Although it is all for your lord," "I appreciate the hard work that you have put in." "Let us cooperate from now on." "Let us crush the conspiracy by Harada Kai's clan." "But what a surprise." "I'm sweating under my arms." "I do apologize." "I was so excited to meet you." "I must have..." "Lost some of my wits." "Let us meet again, at a more leisurely time." "Akanishi, I hear you've been meeting with a vassal of Lord Harada Kai." "Have you known him for a while?" "Aozame?" "No, only since I arrived here." "We both happen to enjoy shogi." "Still, it's strange that you two get along so well." "You and that fellow..." "You two seem to stand on opposite ends of everything." "Is that so?" "Don't play the fool." "You're as different as a heron and a crow." "I see..." "Then would you say..." "I'm the heron?" "It's this sort of impudence of yours that I can't stand." "There is no way you resemble a heron." "I come with a request." "I come with a request." "My name is Irifuneya Sabaemon." "I have come by invitation, seeking an audience, to which I may introduce this daughter of my mine." "Irifuneya Sabaemon, is it?" "You have come to show your daughter." "Very well." "Wait there for a moment." "Come." "It's alright now." "Come, come." "It's been warm over the last couple of days, they've been quick to come out." "You seem to loathe them." "Yes." "I just cannot stand them..." "I figured." "The look on your face back there!" "It's not much, but please rest here." "Thank you." "She is quite a beautiful girl." "And she seems good-tempered as well." "Let us think of a good name for her." "It would be an honor." "Hey there, Akanishi." "Yes?" "Do you have any suggestions?" "Well..." "I'm afraid not." "Sir Akanishi, do not be timid." "Say whatever is on your mind." "Alright." "Sazanami..." "How about that?" ""Gentle wave"?" "Sazanami." "I hear she's beautiful." "Sazanami?" "Probably the best in our estate." "That's Sazanami." "That's Sazanami." "Have you seen this Sazanami girl?" "Not yet." "How is she?" "Is she worth a look?" "No, you shouldn't see her." "She'll hurt your eyes." "That Sazanami..." "She is quite a nice piece of work!" "Ah yes, a fine piece of work!" "Someone as fine as her..." "No, you can't find another quite like her." "Her proportions are just exquisite." "What do you think, Akanishi?" "Have you taken a glance?" "Yes." "I've examined her once." "That's very good." "Well, then..." "I'd like to hear your appraisal of her." "Well..." "She is a masterpiece, indeed." "Are we talking about a woman, or are we discussing a sword?" "Who can tell?" "Sir Harada Kai is making his entrance!" "Sir Harada Kai is making his entrance!" "Those whose names I call, step forward immediately." "Hirezaki." "Yes." "Ebina." "Yes." "Okitsu." "Yes." "Akanishi." "Yes." "While you may all be newcomers here, as long as you receive a salary, you must not disobey the owner of this estate." "Correct?" "Yes." "You need not even mention it." "In that case..." "I shall speak on behalf of Lord Hyôbu." "As you are well aware..." "Our Lord Hyôbu, who sits before you, is a son of Date Masamune." "But regrettably, as he is the youngest child, he received a meager portion of territory, following the annexation of Ichinoseki in the Iwai District." "He had been regarded as though he were one of us lowly subjects." "With all due respect, it is a poor circumstance." "In spite of that, if our domain was governed by an enlightened man, and the populace was satisfied with his rule, then we would keep silent about our situation." "However." "Sir Tsunamune was not that man." "Despite ruling over 24 districts in the Ôshû region, and holding the distinguished role of major general for the Mutsu province, he drowned in women, steeped in liquor, and when a subject dared to raise caution to this, he was swiftly slain." "His debauchery finally brought him before the court of the Date clan, and there, under the pretenses of a serious illness, he was forced to retire at his young age." "Citizens and statesmen of this land, if we truly value proper governance, we should be supporting our brilliant Lord Hyôbu on his succession." "Yet why do some still back the young Kamechiyo, whom I doubt has even learned the difference between east and west?" "This must be the work of disloyal men, who seek to satisfy their own selfish needs, hidden behind the young boy." "We are in danger..." "The great territory of the Date clan is in danger!" "Fellow men of this estate, if you have placed your allegiances here, this is not the time to remain as mere observers amidst this ordeal." "That is to say..." "No matter how difficult the actions we take may be, we must have the 24 Ôshû districts fall under the auspices of Lord Hyôbu, so that he may govern over them flawlessly, and so that all of its citizens be content under his rule." "I have an objection!" "The lord and vassal are like fish and water." "Every veteran here has already reaffirmed his allegiance, and has agreed to join us." "The remaining..." "I have an objection!" "Silence!" "All who remain are..." "Only Hirezaki and the three other newcomers." "If you agree to this..." "I ask that you sign a blood pact here." "I will not agree to this." "This is an insurrection!" "If for some reason, you do not agree..." "Traitors!" "You fools!" "Then it was my turn, so I signed the blood pact too." "But I was worried that my hand was shaking." "After all, Harada Kai was sitting in front of me, staring at me quietly!" "Not to mention, I dearly wanted to get ahold of that contract." "It was in my hands, but I couldn't keep it." "That disappointment made my stomach turn!" "Ever since then, my insides haven't felt normal." "You're lying." "It's true!" "But don't get too greedy." "You can't let our efforts go to waste, be careful." "Right." "How many letters of evidence have you gathered?" "I have only two so far." "I see." "I have only one." "We must try harder." "Yes." "Let's do it." "Say, whose house is this?" "It's strangely..." "Charming?" "You're about to find out." "A relative?" "It's something like that." "How very odd." "I don't get it." "I'm sorry, I was out." "Oh." "A friend?" "Yeah." "It's my friend I've been telling you about," "Sir Akanishi Kakita." "Oh, I've heard about you." "How impolite." "Who laughs while greeting someone?" "But..." "Hey." "What's the matter?" "I think she's laughing because I said your name." "No, stop it." "Come on, it's the truth." "Sometime ago..." "She noticed that we both have sea creatures in our names." "I see." "A mistress?" "Keep a mistress..." "What does that mean?" "As I asked, exactly why does one keep a mistress?" "Sugano." "Yes?" "You have a visitor." "Akanishi, are you home?" "Akanishi." "Akanishi!" "Yeah." "Something the matter?" "Some stomach pain." "I'm lying down." "Stomach pain?" "That's not good." "If there's considerable pain, shall I call a doctor?" "No..." "It's not that severe." "I'll let it heal it in the usual way." "Take care, now." "If you need anything, please just shout for me." "I can be here immediately." "I am very grateful." "See you." "Oh, that's right." "I came wanting to borrow your cat." "The mice are making too much noise." "Do you mind?" "Go ahead." "I must tell you, he's not that good at it." "That's alright." "Please pardon me." "Hey, Roku." "Roku, Roku!" "Oh, Sugano." "Traveling in this weather?" "Yes." "To Shibaguchi." "The mansion in Shibaguchi?" "What takes you there at this late hour?" "Well..." "To be honest, I have been given quite the task." "If I return safe, I shall tell you all about it." "What?" "Return safe?" "Do you mean..." "It'll be a secret for now." "Excuse me." "Have a good night." "Hey, litter bearers!" "At your service." "Come closer." "Yes." "Ask around for a man at the bottom of this slope, his name is Anma Ankô." "Yes." "I'm very familiar with Ankô." "That's good." "Tell him to come here quickly." "My name is Akanishi." "Alright." "Is that all?" "And..." "One more thing." "I want you to deliver a letter." "Please wait a moment, I'll write it now." ""Sir Matsumae Tetsunosuke"" "Take this, go to the mansion of the Date clan in Shibaguchi." "Tell the guards it's urgent, and hand it to them." "Understood." "Alright." "Got it?" "The Date clan's mansion in Shibaguchi." "Nanny, I'm getting sleepy." "Will you be going to sleep, then?" "I have already prepared the bed for you, so please lie down whenever you like." "Alright." "Excuse me." "I am a vassal of Lord Date Hyôbu, my name is Sugano Kosuke." "I wish to visit one of your vassals, Sir Tamura Kuranosuke." "Please come in." "Nanny." "That Matsumae, when will he ever come out to see me?" "As he has some matters he must attend to," "Sir Matsumae is unable to make his appearance for some time." "But I will request that you receive your deserved attention from him, so until then, I ask for your patience." "In a night like this," "I feel lonely without Matsumae by my side." "What if any wrongdoers were to come?" "That's unexpected of you to say." "Why would any wrongdoers come?" "A strong general does not say such things." "If you see Matsumae, tell him to come out and see me already." "How does it feel here?" "Ouch!" "How does it feel here?" "Ouch!" "Hmm." ""Sir Matsumae Tetsunosuke"" "Hey, Fukahei." "Yes?" "Go ahead and drink something." "Don't be so modest, have a drink." "Well, then..." "If you insist." "Fukahei!" "Yes?" "You should..." "Drink a large cup's full." "Alright." "Well, if you insist." "Fukahei." "Yes?" "With that energy, won't you drop by the gate guards?" "What?" "Alright..." "What do I tell them?" "Tonight, was there anyone who entered the gates after sundown?" "Who were they?" "Please find out for me." "Entered after sundown..." "There was the kid from the small goods store, and the vassal from Azabu, Sir Sugano Kosuke." "Just those two." "Is that right?" "Just those two." "Thank you." "Take that big cup there." "Grab a drink." "Alright." "If you do insist." "Hey, Fukahei." "Yes?" "I know it's a hassle, but could you go back once more?" "Sir?" "Once more?" "Alright." "That man called Sugano, whose house did he visit?" "Dash on over there, and find that out for me." "That man?" "He went to the house of Sir Tamura Kuranosuke." "Thank you very much." "I'm not answering if you come back!" "Ah, thank you, thank you." "Now, grab that big cup, and take another swig!" "Alright." "Hey, Fukahei." "Yet again, boss?" "If I go back there..." "The guard will strike me." "It's not the gate guard this time." "Go to Sir Tamura's row house." "Did a man named Sugano visit them?" "Please investigate that for me." "I'm begging you." "Alright?" "Hey..." "Ankô." "Tell me the truth." "My illness is intestinal volvulus, isn't it?" "My intestines..." "They've become knotted up?" "Well, that's..." "I cannot tell for certain if it is intestinal volvulus." "I shall call for a doctor." "You once said..." "You killed a man with intestinal volvulus." "That's what you told me." "You must know, then." "So tell me the truth." "Ankô!" "This..." "It is intestinal volvulus, isn't it?" "Yes." "Then it is too late." "There is no point in calling a doctor now." "The guest who called himself Sugano did visit the house, but he is said to have left, half an hour ago." "Oh, is that so?" "Thank you, thank you." "There's some alcohol left, right?" "Finish it up." "Alright." "If I may." "As soon as I take a sip, you are not going to say, "Hey, Fukahei", are you?" "Actually, Fukahei!" "Boss!" "I beg you." "Please release me for tonight!" "Fukahei." "Yes." "Do you remember, from the other day, the brown lined kimono I ordered?" "Yes." "I'll give that to you, so head to the gate once more, and ask if Sugano has left." "Find out for me." "Guard, gate guard." "Gate guard." "I am an inspector." "Wake up!" "Right away!" "Hold it." "No need to come out." "Stay there." "Don't open it." "A man named Sugano Kosuke, has he left already?" "No." "He has not left yet." "Oh, is that so." "Very well." "My apologies for bothering you." "I've just earned a new kimono." "No matter what..." "I shall slice my stomach." "Do not be so rash." "I am not being rash." "Even if I do not cut myself," "I will still face death." "But if you do that, you are only hurrying your death." "Just listen!" "If I slice myself and untwist my intestines quickly, then immediately sew it back, there is a small chance that I will be saved!" "In theory perhaps, but in practice..." "Quiet, quiet!" "I will do it." "I have already decided." "Say no more." "And listen, Ankô." "Yes?" "Listen carefully." "If my luck as a warrior runs out, and if I were to perish, Ankô..." "You must climb into the ceiling." "The ceiling?" "This is a samurai's request as he faces death." "Ankô." "Promise me." "Swear that you will protect this secret!" "Yes." "I swear." "Up there, in the ceiling..." "I've hidden something that is worth more than my life." "It's hidden there!" "I have captured a suspicious man!" "I am Matsumae Tetsunosuke." "Everyone, come to me!" "Come to me!" "Excuse me." "Will he survive?" "If there are no complications, I believe he will live." "There were twelve stitches, so it was a large wound." "It's a surprise he made it through." "After all..." "That man cut his own stomach, and untwisted his own intestines!" "It was impressive." "If everyone was like that, there would be no more need for doctors!" "However..." "It's certainly not something that just anyone is capable of doing." "Why, of course." "A man with such strength of will," "I don't believe I've heard of such a man even in the folk tales." "That said, please listen." "About this seppuku case..." "I was forbidden to talk about it." "So I ask that you keep it among yourselves." "Hey." "I hear you were a great help last night." "Why, it was astonishing." "I need you to keep this a secret, but after all, a man slicing himself open to repair a knot in his innards, that must be a first in the history of Japan!" "Please." "Thank you." "Hey, find some fish and prepare some drinks for us." "Yes." "I just happen to have some angler (ankô)..." "What?" "Oh..." "I'm sorry." "What about an angler?" "No, never mind." "It's too much of a bother, talking about catches from the sea." "So, then what happened?" "There was a little episode after that." ""If I died, Ankô, "" ""you must climb into the ceiling."" "What does that mean?" ""In the ceiling"," ""I've hidden a letter there that is more important than my life."" ""Make sure to deliver it to Aozame."" "That's what he tells me." "Here, for you." "That's enough..." "No, here you go." "Come on, now." "I shouldn't..." "I'm already so drunk." "Tonight, I am most definitely drunk." "You know, a man named Ankô getting drunk while he enjoys a pot of angler, isn't that ironic?" "Right, Mister Aozame?" "Don't ya think so, my dear Aozame?" "Boss." "I'm fine." "Please." "I really am fine." "Good." "Look, you're not fine at all!" "Yes, yes." "Boss." "Despite how I may seem," "I keep my secrets, at least." "Yes, my lips are sealed!" "I heard Ankô was cut down." "Hm?" "Yes." "It was you who killed him, wasn't it?" "Nope." "What a pity." "You mean my lord offered this himself, for me to eat?" "That is right." "Sugano." "You mustn't let yourself wither away." "Our lord and Lord Harada's influences are quite strong." "You will hear some good news soon." "Even now, you can see the jailers here have stepped away, and they pretend not to notice us." "Tsunomata." "I'm tired of hearing such assurances." "Besides..." "This snack..." "Any fool can discern what it must contain." "No." "You're being paranoid." "In any case..." "You may as well stay there to watch." "After all..." "By witnessing the pitiful final moments of my life, perhaps..." "There is something to be discovered there." "You're such an idiot." "Of all people, you chose to reveal it to a man like Ankô." "Then, at that moment, who was I supposed to tell?" "Why should you reveal it to anybody?" "If I heard that you were dead, I would have gone and found it." "You say that, but who knows if you could have found the hiding place." "In any event, if I spared him, he would have kept blathering on to everyone." "But still." "Even Ankô..." "No, forget it." "You are still too kind to a fault." "There's some left, but I'm done for today." "Why?" "Just finish it." "I can't while you're my drinking partner." "Should you be eating snacks already?" "What is that?" "Rice crackers." "You're like a baby!" "In any case, it's about time that we both pull back to Shiraishi." "Are you well enough to travel?" "Yes." "I think so, for the most part." "As for me..." "Perhaps I will stay a little longer." "If we vanished together, that would draw attention." "Fair point." "Once you've decided on a date," "I will hand you my report before then, so take it back with you." "Alright." "That's well and good, but how will I be granted leave?" "That's right." "If you simply request it, there is a chance they may just decline it." "Run off in the night?" "Perhaps." "But if they have no idea why you might do that, they will suspect something is afoot." "Indeed." "And since you'll still remain here, it might put you in danger." "In any event..." "We are attempting quite the disgraceful act." "Wait a minute." "Are you suggesting to rob them?" "Not rob them..." "Say, how about writing a message of courtship?" "What is a message of courtship?" "You're such a burden." "It's a love letter!" "Who's writing a love letter?" "You are." "Me..." "Write a love letter to whom?" "Just hold on." "We'll decide on that right now." "Most importantly..." "The woman must be beautiful, and..." "She should also be well-mannered." "No, no." "A woman like that..." "I will definitely be rejected." "That is what we're aiming for." "Don't you see?" "Listen." "If you're spurned, you'll become a laughing stock." "You'll lose face and won't bear staying at the estate." "You'll run away at night." "How's that?" "A brilliant plan?" "It's brilliant alright, but it sure toys with my emotions." "Stop thinking so hard about it." "Just write something!" "Write it for me." "It seems..." "I'm just not equipped for this." "You have to write it yourself!" "Besides, I'm too good with love letters." "If the woman ends up falling for you, all of our hard work will go to waste!" "I just can't do it." "It's impossible, no matter what." "That's not true." "It'll be fine, just write it!" "I can't write it." "I cannot, it's not for me." "Just a moment." "This..." "Please take a look at it." "Wait..." "Are you expecting a reply?" "A reply?" "Please." "I haven't heard anything since." "No rumors are spreading about me, and I haven't been humilated." "Did you see Sazanami after that?" "Not alone." "When I see her in public, she acts unconcerned." "I'm almost shocked how indifferent she looks!" "Women..." "They're such strange beings." "Does she intend to let it blow over?" "We would be in trouble." "Alright, write her another one." "What?" "Then drop it where people are bound to pass by." ""To Sazanami"" "Besides yourself, there is no one who is made aware of this?" "No." "No matter what..." "You mustn't reveal this to anyone." "Otherwise, it will lead to one samurai's ruin." "I understand." "For some time," "I have considered you to be a fine gentleman." "Of course, a woman like myself must be married off at some point." "As I was born as a merchant's daughter, my future entailed marrying into a merchant family, or so I had always believed." "But now, having received your letter, a fresh new hope stirs within me." "All of the things I had been unknowingly searching for, with your letter, now suddenly appear clearly in my mind." "I now realize I will not find what I seek among the young samurai, who are merely attractive, but rather, it rests within your heart." "I recognize this, at last." "And here I sit, basking in immense joy, a happiness that I have never felt before in my life." "In truth, I actually wrote this response some time ago." "But as of late, you seem to scamper away for some reason, whenever you encounter me." "Because of that, I have been unable to hand you this letter." "Yesterday, and the day before, I returned home with it." "I am very saddened by this." "You are lucky that this fell to my hands." "If something like this spread within the estate, what would you have done?" "Indeed..." "I can only express my regret." "If a samurai like yourself fell due to something as pitiful as this," "I suspect you could not regret it enough." "I can only express my regret." "Then I shall return this to you, with the expectation that you will behave as usual, and perform your duties as you have always done." "Here's one more report." "Acknowledged." "Well, then." "We shall part for now." "Yes." "See you." "Take care of yourself." "Let's meet again in good health." ""Please take care of the cat" "Madame Okinoishi"" "Why, that is quite the funny tale!" "And he could not stand to face me, nor could he forget about Sazanami..." "Couldn't forget about her?" "That Sazanami?" "My, it just gets funnier." "Don't be so serious." "You should all laugh." "...and moreover, this man, Akanishi, based on his appearance alone, clearly did not have much experience with women." "As you mention Akanishi..." "I remember him well." "Oh, you do?" "That man, he risked himself to seek courtship with this girl, this Sazanami, by writing a love letter to her." "He must have been out of his senses." "And not only that, he dropped his letter in the hallway." "It was picked up by Wakame here." "At last he couldn't stand to remain here, and ended up taking flight." "That idiot!" "Everything he does makes me laugh." "When was this?" "When did he vanish?" "Last night." "What has just been stated..." "Is there any falsehood in it?" "Then..." "You may leave." "Then it must be so." "What must be so?" "He must have been a spy." "But..." "No." "My eyes do not deceive me." "You must gather some strong men, and send them after him at once!" "Aozame." "Aozame, are you ready?" "I am coming." "What is this?" "The lord's orders." "Do not resist us." "Hey." "Where did your guest go?" "It was so strange." "He only had a cup of tea, and then he left." "My..." "What could have happened?" "I have no idea." "He said he suddenly remembered an errand, but even then..." "You there, woman." "That guest." "A merchant or a samurai?" "He was a samurai." "Really?" "Right here..." "Did he have a wart?" "Damn it." "We can't just return without him." "However, what can we do when we lost sight of him?" "Maybe we passed him back there, without even realizing it?" "Nevertheless, we can't go back yet." "March 27, 1671" "Boatkeeper Irifuneya Sabaemon" "Miss." "There is a man here named Sir Akanishi, your father wants you to come to the guest room to meet him." "What?" "Sir Akanishi?" "Yes." "Oh my..." "Whatever shall I do?" "Looking like this..." "Please help me, maid." "Do you know where the kimono is?" "Take the cabinet, out of the top left drawer..." "No, wait, I mean..." "You know, take the cabinet out of the kimono..." "No, no..." "You shouldn't rush." "I hope you can spend some restful time with us today." "No..." "I'm afraid I cannot stay and spend much time here today." "Please spend some leisurely time with us today." "Sadly, I cannot stay too long." "Um..." "I hope you will stay here today as long as you like." "Well, I do not have much time to spend." "But it is still early." "Well." "I cannot stay long, but..." "END"
