"I s the Majin of the mountain coming out?" "You are a samurai's son." "Be brave." "Our good god will k eep him sealed away." "A good God?" "Yes, that is correct." "He protects us." "So, the Majin will not be able to come out." "That is not all." "The good god protects our castle as well." "He protects us from harm?" "Yes, so there is no need to worry." "S hall we retire?" "Princess?" "Are you still frightened?" "Princess?" "Are you stll I frightened?" "I will give you something." "If you have this, you will be safe." "Is there realy a Majin?" "Of course!" "You saw his footprints on the shrineg rounds, didn't you?" "The ceremony to seal it away has begun." "Samansouke, you will go there in my place." "Majin terrifies the people." "My messenger will encourage them." "I will do as you instruct, Sire." "Come, Gunjuro." "Yes!" "Is everything ready?" "Yes, quite ready." "The castle is as good as yours." "It's a lucky thing this Majin fuss came up." "It is our chance to carryout the plan." "Go on." "Who's there?" "!" "I s that you Gunjuro?" "Chamberlain!" "Samansouke, what is this?" "Lord Hanabasa, as of today, Castle Yamanaka is mine." "What?" "Are you out of your mi nd?" "You were a drifter but our kind lord made you a Chamberlain!" "Why this treachery?" "Why this hatred?" "I bear no hatred or loyality." "Liar!" "I have gained control of the castle!" "Liar!" "I have gained control of the castle!" "It is too late to argue." "Traitor!" "Betrayal!" "Every bodyout!" "It's betrayal!" "Samansouke Odate has betrayed us!" "Young Lord!" "What's the matter, Kogenta?" "Hurry!" "Princess, you too!" "Here." "Gunjuro!" "No use running!" "We'll destroy all the Hanabasa tonight!" "Gunjuro!" "No use running!" "We'll destroy all the Hanabasa tonight!" "Kogenta, hurry!" "My Lord!" "What about our son?" "Our daughter?" "My Lord!" "This is bitter..." "My Lord!" "This way." "Kogenta, what's happening?" "Let's go find father!" "Sure!" "Ohuma!" "My Lord!" "Our Lord?" "My Lord!" "Our Lord?" "I see." "Father?"

"Kogenta, I'm afraid!" "Kill them when they come out!" "We'll burn to death in here." "We can hold them!" "Al I right!" "We can hold them!" "Al I right!" "Kogenta, you take care of them." "With my life!" "Farewell, Kogenta!" "If we're still alive, let's meet here in ten years." "They're escaping!" "After them!" "Over there!" "Let's go!" "Disperse!" "What are you saying?" "Listen to me!" "As of today, Lord Odate is your ruler." "Lord Odate?" "From now on, you are not allowed to gather without permission!" "Hurry and go home!" "But!" "Hurry and go home!" "But!" "Go home!" "Go home!" "No!" "Go home!" "This is an ancient ceremony to seal away the Majin, and k eep him at bay." "It is because of this ceremony that we have suffered no harm until now." "You cannot forbid it!" "Shut up!" "It is our Lord's orders!" "I will kill you if you disobey him!" "Disperse!" "Run away!" "What a terrible thing." "A terrible thing." "Were the children found?" "Sire!" "The children were inside the stable when it burned down, but..." "They escaped." "They cannot be far away." "You will find them." "The whole family must be destroyed." "Yes!" "Kogenta, where are we going?" "My Lord." "Hurry, over here!" "Find 'em?" "No, we haven't." "Find 'em?" "No, we haven't." "Keep searching!" "Let's go!" "Kogenta!" "I s that you, Kogenta?" "Aunt!" "You are safe." "I heard about the invasion and was worried." "I wondered if you were safe." "We must leave before dawn, but they are searching for us relentlessly." "If they cannot escape to other domains..." "Do you have any ideas?" "Go around back!" "Go!" "Yes!" "What are you doing?" "I serve our god." "Do not soil my home with dirty feet!" "We're searching!" "What are you searching for?" "Now order you live alone and serve our god." "You are a fearless woman." "Well, never mind!" "Search!" "Yes!" "Nothing!" "They're not here!" "Listen, you'll be beheaded if you shelter them!" "This is sacred go round." "You will anger our god." "Now, begone!" "Why you..." "There are some refugees headed west!" "Very well!" "Hurry!" "Yes!" "Hey!" "Kogenta, is this not Majin's mountain?" "Kogenta, I'm afraid!" "Aunt, is not e very one forbidden to come here?" "There is no other place safe for them." "We must ask our god for help." "Kogenta, what is that?" "I understand." "That is where our god sealed away the Majin." "That?" "The Majin is sealed away inside that statue?" "Yes, that is right." "We are going to that image." "Come." "Our god will protect the young lord and princess." "Come, this way." "Come." "I did n't know that there was a place like this." "They sayour god dwelt here long ago." "Ask his protection and wait for your ti me to come." "Samansouke will not think of this place." "Yes!" "I will bring what you need." "Kogenta, come see!" "The statue is very close!" "Hurry!" "If you were the wind that blows." "You would blow gently, I suppose" "Flowers bloom in my riad colors." "Plum blossoms, Spring's harbingers." "Kozasa!" "Look what I bagged!" "Luck is with you!" "A treat for tonight!" "What are you looking at?" "Get moving!" "Pull!" "Move!" "Hang on!" "Are you allright?" "Fool!" "He won't live long anyway!" "But..." "Take him to the sick hut!" "Yes." "Father!" "Take, don't come here!" "Go home!" "Now!" "But mother's sick!" "What?" "Your mother?" "She's daying!" "Come home!" "Come home, Father!" "Father!" "Please!" "My w ife is daying!" "No!" "Hurry and take him away!" "Father, come home!" "Go home!" "Take, go on home!" "Go home!" "Father!" "Take!" "Grandfather!" "Come." "Come over here." "Until the new fort is finished, nobody can go home." "Go home quickly and look after Mother." "All this cruelty can't last long." "The mountain god is watching." "The mountain god?" "Hanabasa vassals!" "Go home!" "Hurry home to her!" "Are you our late lord's vassals?" "Escape, quickly." "Leave the rest to me." "Thank you!" "Hey, Harada, hurry!" "Over here!" "Mosuke, they're coming!" "They're coming!" "Let's go!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "They're down below!" "You!" "You helped them escape?" "Talk!" "No, Idid n't!" "They came in with bloody swords!" "Why didn't you call us?" "They'd have killed me!" "Why didn't you call us?" "And you told them about that place?" "Tallk!" "It wasn't Mosuke!" "I did it!" "I told them!" "You old fossil!" "Not even the sick can defyour lord!" "Forgive me!" "It's all right." "You saved me but I wouldn't have lasted long anyway." "Forgive me!" "I'm so sorry!" "The villagers are forced labor?" "Yes." "Samansouke Odate has the devil's own luck." "In ten years, he has subdued or made allies of all the powerful clans." "He will be going to Kyoto soon." "The new fort is for added protection against attacks." "The villages have lost all their workers." "What crops they doraise, are all taken as taxes." "So, I hear some homes do not have enough to eat." "Is it realy so bad?" "Kogenta, let us go down at once!" "Young Lord." "We cannot just wait here to restore my house!" "We cannot let Samansouke live!" "Not one day, not one moment longer!" "I agree with you." "But a small group of people cannot kill him." "Why not?" "Even if I die to kill him, if the people are saved, Father will rejoice!" "Yes..." "But if we both fail to kill him, what then?" "There must be men in town who feel the same way." "Rumors say that there are." "Are they true?" "The domain is being closely guarded because of these rumors." "We must be doubly careful." "I will go first and get in touch with the others." "Wait until then." "Yes, that is best." "If anything happens to you, all our hardships will have been in vain." "Please be careful." "Brother, please listen to them." "I understand." "Kogenta, I'm counting on you!" "Yes!" "I promise to return with good news." "The god is angry." "I knowhow our god feels." "It will not be long." "Samansouke's evil deeds will end soon." "The guards report the number of sussicious men has increased." "Only by a small amount." "If Hanabasa's son is alive, he'll be eighteen years old." "It is unlikely he is alive, but keep a strict watch." "Yes!" "Nothing escapes our eyes." "Pour for Gunjuro, too." "Yes!" "You!" "Halt!" "Did I do something?" "I haven't done anything." "No weapons." "I see." "Where are you going?" "I'm taking these pheasants to my relative's place." "Good eating." "I will take them." "But!" "Go!" "The Chamberlain." "Wait!" "It's been a long time, Kogenta!" "Since you've appeared, Tadafumi must be around!" "Where is he?" "Don't shoot him!" "After him!" "Arrest him!" "Those rats..." "Some of you, arrest that man!" "He's here!" "Don't let him get away!" "What's the matter, father?" "Take, don't come!" "Mother died!" "Your mother?" "!" "Stop it!" "Father, Mother died!" "She died!" "What's happened to Kogenta?" "He's late!" "Do you think there was trouble?" "Talk!" "Where are Tadafumi and Kozasa?" "You!" "Another one, quickly!" "Yes!" "That is enough." "He has as good as confessed by being silent." "Kogenta, I promise you we will find them." "Kogenta, is that you?" "Who is it?" "What do you want?" "I want to ask the mountain god a favor." "Pray here." "You will be punished if you go too far." "I want to ask the god myself." "You cannot go." "They'll kill my father!" "Your father?" "Who will kill him?" "Lord Odate." "He got caught helping one of Lord Hanabasa's vassals." "A vassal of Lord Hanabasa?" "Yes, the vassal got caught too." "They've dangled him outside." "Dangled him?" "!" "They'll kill father!" "Dangled him?" "!" "Do you know the vassal's name?" "What was the name of the vassal?" "Koge..." "Koge..." "Oh, yes, Kogenta." "Kogenta?" "!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "They will kill everyone who comes to save him, they said." "What is it?" "Ohid, I'm sure the god will give your wish." "Your father will be safe, so go on home." "Okay?" "But..." "No." "This is Majin's mountain." "You can't go on alone." "Now, hurry home." "Kogenta..." "Kogenta!" "Bear it just a bit longer!" "Until night!" "Save me!" "Save me!" "Help!" "Save me!" "Save my father, please!" "Why pray to me?" "Are you a human being?" "Yes." "Why are you here then?" "I can't tell you." "Why are you here?" "I see." "You came asking for help too?" "Yes." "What is it?" "Seen anything?" "No, nothing." "Kogenta?" "!" "It is not him!" "You fill into our trap, didn't you?" "It was a trick!" "There are still traces of the child." "Who are you?" "I'm Gunjuro, the Chamberlain of this castle." "What will you do?" "No pup like you can outw it us!" "Well kill you and Kogenta tomorrow!" "The young lord?" "He was w orried about Kogenta." "I am certain that he went." "The enemy is waiting for him." "Then my brother?" "He is probably caught by now." "What can be done?" "I will go see Samansouke." "What is it that you must tell me?" "You know the stories about the spirit sealed away on the mountain." "S tories?" "What about them?" "You mak e people suffer to satisfy your owng reed." "Our god will not let you continue." "What do you mean he will not let me continue." "Release the people and stop your butchery... or you will incur the god's wrath." "Ridiculous!" "Who sent you here?" "Hanabasa's vassals?" "No one sent me." "I came to inform you of the god's will." "I say that the real purpose is to save Hanabasa's son." "Fear the god!" "Do not be meddlesome." "I am not a superstitious man!" "Go." "You refuse to listen?" "Ourses do not exist." "Wrong!" "They do exist." "I have the power to call our god." "That's very interesting." "If you refuse to think it over, trouble will befall you." "If you are right, I will get rid of you." "Then no one can call on the god, correct?" "You are not afraid because he protects you?" "Or is what you have said a lie?" "It is true." "Very well, I will test you." "It was not loaded!" "If it were, you would have died." "You do not fear god!" "It is said the image of a warrior god is sealed in Majin." "I s the legend true?" "That is the god I serve." "If I destroy it?" "A terrible thing." "It is the mainstay of the remaining Hanabasa men and the masses." "If it is destroyed, they will lose their moral support." "Destroy the god?" "And you who serve him!" "Curse me if he can!" "God's punishment on your head!" "Mak e Llght of him if you dare!" "Destroy the god who protects us and the terrible evil spirit" "Arakatsuma will come forth." "My Lord!" "Samansouke, you will know the wrath of our god!" "You will meet a harsh, merci less death!" "You will die!" "My Lord?" "Gunjuro, destroy the statue at Okamdani!" "But she said..." "Fool, she was just trying to frighten me!" "Hurry!" "Yes!" "Men from the castle!" "Chamberlain!" "It's orders but, to destroy the god..." "Don't be afraid!" "Hurry!" "Aunt Shinobu..." "Destroy the god's i mage?" "Where are you going?" "To the right." "Yes!" "What's up?" "They're lost." "Chamberlain, which way do we go?" "Go on!" "They're going home?" "I hope so." "No!" "They're coming!" "Go on!" "Hey!" "I found something!" "What is it?" "What?" "What is it?" "It's too good for commoners." "They must be around here!" "Search!" "Take!" "A girl!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Over here!" "Hurry!" "Kozasa, hurry!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "Come here, brat." "Are you Kozasa?" "Answer me." "No, I am not her!" "Don't hide it." "The priestess hid you?" "No, I do not know her!" "Are you sure?" "Yes!" "Then it doesn't concern you." "Both Tadafumi and Kogenta will be executed tomorrow morning." "Why are you so surprised?" "Brother and Kogenta will be executed?" "That's not all." "My lord killed the priestess." "Aunt Shinobu?" "Let go!" "Let me go!" "He comes to the construction site." "A go-between, I guess." "No, he did nothing." "Take us to the stone statue!" "No!" "I will kill him then!" "Wait!" "I will." "I will take you." "Chamberlain!" "Hurry!" "Damn you!" "Come on!" "Give us a hand." "Got it!" "Hurry up!" "No!" "You must not!" "S hut up!" "Forgive them!" "Forgive them!" "What are we doing?" "A chisel!" "Only a chisel will work!" "Right!" "Blood!" "Say, it's blood!" "Blood?" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Lord!" "I sn't there a curse for damaging it?" "Nonsense!" "What if the priestess was right?" "H a ve her words poisoned you too?" "No, it's not that, but..." "Fool." "Stop trembling!" "Pour!" "Forgive me." "My water under brought this on you too." "I will not give up!" "What would happen to the people if we did?" "God will not forsake us!" "Kozasa!" "Take!" "I brought you some water." "How did you get down?" "The rope broke, but I wasn't hurt." "May be our god cut it for me." "Then it realy happened?" "God became angry." "Yes, I am certain of it." "Tomorrow, both of them!" "Please..." "Please save my brother and Kogenta." "Come out!" "Kogenta..." "I am not like Shinobu." "I do not know the right way to appea to you, but please show your divine power again, for the sak e of my brother and Kogenta." "They will be executed this morning." "If they are executed, no one can punish Samansouke." "If you save them," "I will give you my life." "S tay back!" "Go back!" "Go back!" "Hurry!" "Get back!" "Get back!" "Stop it!" "Get going!" "What must I do to appeal to you?" "To receive your help?" "If I offer my life?" "Don't!" "Take, let go!" "Don't!" "No!" "Don't die!" "Kozasa!" "Kozasa!" "Let me go!" "Kozasa!" "Kozasa, the god." "Kozasa, look out!" "I thought you would be lonely daying with only Kogenta for company." "S o I w aited for your vassals to come, but none came." "That is life for you." "No one would fight to help a daying Hanabasa!" "You!" "Fool!" "Pierce them!" "Yes!" "It's terrible!" "Terrible!" "It's terrible!" "Terrible!" "The Majin is loose!" "It's coming!" "Are you sure?" "It's on its way here!" "Get the boy!" "Take, run away!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "That brat." "My Lord!" "Hanabasa men!" "Don't come!" "Don't come out!" "Tadafumi, now you have plenty of men to accompany you." "Kill them!" "My Lord, look!" "It's Majin!" "Attack!" "Attack!" "My Lord!" "Shut the gate!" "It's coming!" "It's coming!" "Yes!" "Fail back!" "Get ready!" "Fire!" "Reload!" "Reload!" "My Lord, are we safe?" "Yes!" "Brother!" "Over here!" "Samansouke!" "It will be terrible if he goes to the village!" "Let us hurry!" "Dear!" "Dear!" "Help me!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "Please!" "They have done nothing!" "Stop it!" "Please, stop!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Please stop!" "It is dangerous!" "Brother!" "Let me go!" "I wlll do it!" "Please!" "Please stop!" "Take!" "Please do not be angry any more!" "Please appease your anger by crushing me!" "Then return to the mountain again!" "Please!" "My Lord!" "Look out, Kozasa!" "Your tears moved him to fly away." "Brother!" "THE END"
