"Very good" "You have been evading me." "Scared of me?" "No" "However, I won't elope with you" "You think I am joking?" "You meant it" "You are a darling." "I meant it" "But I've changed my mind." "Why?" "Tomorrow night you'll know" "I'll do or die!" "You won't be seeing me, anyway" "If I win I'll seek a much larger fortune" "If I lose..." "I'll be dead" "In either case, you'll always remember me as your lover" "His Lordship" "What was it?" "Well, he was delighted" "He wants to hire Kojiro as his teacher" "Kojiro did something big." "Where is he?" "I'll bring him here" "Did you come back?" "I bring good news!" "My Master heard about you and Obana's students" "Please." "They were just weaklings."

"Horse-dealer, eh?" "I deal with samurai." "I handle live horses, mind you" "So what?" "You sent this kid to me... to tell me to be quiet, didn't you?" "I have a big voice." "You don't own this inn, do you?" "So, what?" "Apologize" "Write a letter of apology addressed to us all" "Or I'll take you out into the yard and punish you" "Amusing." "Very interesting" "Fresh!" "You heard me." "Now answer me!" "Answer me at once, or else...!" "Which would be better?" "Too many." "Wash these sticks" "He's terrific!" "Training for revenge?" "I'm his pupil now." "Musashi Miyamoto!" "No wonder!" "Are you out of your head?" "Of course not!" "Horse-dealer." "Did you say Musashi?" "Does he live here?" "Now I fully understand you" "I will not force my ideas on you" "However, will you be good enough to see my Master?" "But, I am to fight a duel tonight." "A duel?" "It will be the memorable match of my life." "Who's your man?" "Kojiro Sasaki." "Sasaki?" "You mean it?" "I hear he may be employed by my Master" "What?" "Is Kojiro..." "Miyamoto, if you win please certainly accept my offer" "Must you fight?" "Hey, kid!" "Where is Musashi?" ""l have decided to leave on a journey" "Let me please postpone the promised match for a year" "When we meet again, I will be quite ready... to vie with you." "Yours truly"" "Why do you cry?" "I don't like it" "That Kojiro as Hosokawa's teacher!" "I dreamt of worldly success once" "I thought it was natural to settle down" "But now I want to train myself further" "Jotaro, I'm hungry." "Let's eat, shall we?" "Kuma." "I'm your senior, am I not?" "Call me Master Jotaro" "I say..." "Master Jotaro." "What is it?" "A man should be kind to his juniors" "Let's eat, shall we?" "Shall we?" "Drop the reins." "Or we'll shoot" "Surrender your swords" "Step back" "How did you reach here safely?" "We met brigands" "Nothing happened?" "We won a horse" "They appear often?" "More than often, sir." "They ruin us" "They steal our crops, they steal our women" "We're at their tender mercy" "Many have left this village for safety" "Imagine." "They won a horse!" "Isn't it something?" "Have you an axe to cut down trees?" "Master." "Why fell trees?" "Build a hut." "What for, Master?" "We'll live here." "And plough" "What about fencing practice?" "We'll continue as we plough" "Brace up!" "Hurry up will you, girls?" "They'll be angry" "Hurry!" "They seem like rich people." "We'll get rich!" "Rich - nothing!" "The keeper'll become rich" "We'll become thinner." "The greedy pimp!" "Hurry up!" "You're free, Hanagiri?" "Let me breathe" "We're short of one girl for five customers." "Hanagiri!" "Keeper." "Do all your girls wear bells?" "No, sir, she's the only one." "Tinkles around like a kitten" "Hanagiri, you say?" "Bring her." "At once" "You have a quick ear." "Reminded of someone?" "You win!" "We'll stick to drinks then" "So it's you" "You laugh at me." "Don't you?" "I'm not that heartless." "I know you." "Worse than that" "I didn't even touch you." "It was your vanity" "Had I not loved him, you'd have..." "Probably." "Come here and pour us drinks" "She cares for Musashi" "Unrequited love." "See her now!" "Stop!" "I may be soiled but my heart is pure" "Is it?" "I'll tell you where he is now" "He ploughs at Hoten Field in Shimosa" "Care to go?" "No joking, sir" "If she goes, I'll suffer a big loss." "Keeper" "Enough?" "Just a farmer" "A woman?" "What?" "What a find!" "Stop!" "I saw her first." "Didn't I?" "A girl." "Brigands again!" "Why" " Otsu!" "Why" " Jotaro!" "More loot" "Master!" "What, we eat now?" "Big news!" "Otsu came!" "Otsu?" "Lord Yagyu of Edo told her, she says." "How did he know about us?" "Bring me something to wear" "She's washing her face now to make herself presentable" "Will you hurry?" "I missed you" "I thought you were mad at me." "But why?" "I was to blame" "It was sudden." "So..." "You forgive me?" "I won't leave you again!" "That's the hut we built" "We three live in it" "And we have tilled those patches of land" "It was barren." "But it is yielding crops lately thanks to our labor" "In the old days I hated farm work" "And was daydreaming always" "Wanting to become famous and successful" "Vainly and at random" "Now I'm tilling again." "Isn't it strange?" "I'm beginning to learn the value of life" "The soil has taught me that" "Jotaro" "Cook something for Otsu." "I'll ask old Gen to house her" "Are you very happy to see him again?" "He's still angry about me." "What happened?" "Listen, Jotaro." "Master Jotaro" "Yes, sir." "I don't understand him at all" "Me, neither." "He's carving again" "He told me he'd done something bad to her" "Can't be true!" "If so, why would she come here?" "Yes" "Who goes there?" "I hate to leave this village." "I'll stick to it... even if I may be killed on that account" "Please, sir, teach us how to fight" "We must fight the brigands away from here!" "Please, Master!" "It's no use teaching you how to fight" "If you must learn to run" "Away from them, sir?" "And laugh last" "You're going there by yourself?" "Yes." "I have come alone so far" "It's dangerous from here" "The way to the next village is infested with bandits" "I've known bandits since I was a baby" "My father was a brigand, too" "Isn't my lunch ready yet?" "It is" "Better disguise yourself as a man" "They'll stop any girl" "Men have made a plaything of me." "I don't mind anything now" "If I can see him, I'll die content" "One moment." "Men come here regularly to buy oil and salt" "Wait till then and go with them." "A good idea" "That may be them" "Give us drinks!" "It's bad since those samurai came" "I hear they're teaching them fencing." "Who are they?" "We've got to destroy them, anyway" "This is too small." "Bring bigger bowls!" "Keeper, that your daughter?" "Hey, girlie!" "Come here!" "Why - you're Akemi!" "You're Toji!" "Yes, I am" "Know her?" "She's Oko's daughter." "What happened to my mother?" "Where is she?" "I killed her" "You were there when she was killed!" "You surrendered to save your skin!" "Shut up!" "I avenged my brother's death." "Avenged?" "Your mother had killed him." "I'm Kohei" "But you two had killed my father!" "You'll be with him" "That's the village" "Tell them the brigands were all arrested by the officials" "Understand?" "And set Musashi's hut on fire tomorrow evening" "We'll attack then." "Right?" "I can't." "Never!" "No!" "Don't be a fool!" "Musashi is his enemy." "Also mine" "He spared you." "You must do it" "If you won't..." "I'll have to kill you" "Don't." "You're still sick" "But I can't stay idle here." "Stop!" "Tell me." "Tell me what to do now" "Must I leave?" "Well, no" "Tell me then." "Why do you evade me?" "You dislike me?" "Hate me?" "Have I been erased from your heart?" "Please!" "You're heartless!" "Stony-hearted!" "I hate such a man!" "But..." "I can't live!" "I wish I were dead!" "Don't be stupid" "I am stupid!" "Watch what a stupid girl does!" "What are you doing?" "So." "She's here" "This is because of her." "That dame!" "I'm sorry." "Old Gen can accommodate another person" "Otsu won't like it." "Neither will Akemi" "I think I'll go ask Aunt Oseki" "I'll do that for you." "Me, too" "At last we're alone" "Why don't you like it?" "You have changed, Akemi" "But I like your tone." "I'm so glad" "Darling!" "I have loved you since we lived in the hills" "I really cared for you." "You don't mean that" "But I mean it." "I tried to tell you when you were trapped last time" "I didn't understand you" "Darling... elope with me" "Won't you?" "Stop it" "Oko, your mother, asked me to do that once" "Her blood is in your veins" "No." "I'm different." "I'm not like her at all" "I never loved men till I met you" "I've never loved anybody but you, darling" "That's why I came here" "I'm sorry" "It's not your fault" "You have Otsu." "I shouldn't be unreasonable" "I will leave in the morning" "Be happy with her." "Good luck" "Darling." "It's hard!" "But I give you up!" "I promise" "So hold me tightly before I go!" "Choke me to death!" "In your arms!" "As your last favor!" "Men!" "I heard on my way here... that all the brigands were arrested." "Really?" "The whole town's talking." "If they're arrested, we are safe" "Akemi said that?" "Serves 'em right." "Now we're saved" "Akemi, are you sure about the brigands?" "Akemi!" "Is it true?" "You wouldn't believe me" "I'll stay here awhile." "I like it here" "Master, did you hear it?" "Very good news, eh?" "Did you hear?" "Yes, I did." "Let's stop work and celebrate!" "She'll signal to us with a fire." "Set houses afire!" "You kill the villagers" "Don't take on Musashi." "I'll handle him" "Come with me." "We'll talk alone" "Where's Otsu?" "She's at my home." "She'll play the flute" "I'll fetch her" "Otsu." "You know how a girl feels" "I'm in love with him." "Akemi" "You are a terrible girl" "Why must you come between us two?" "Take it up" "If you want him..." "fight!" "How horrible!" "Take it up" "Help!" "Somebody!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Brigands!" "Brigands!" "Calm down!" "Quiet!" "Take women and kids to Old Gen's." "Musashi!" "Come out!" "Fight with me!" "Musashi, I'm here to avenge my brother's death!" "Brace up, Kuma!" "Jotaro... you're... truly my senior" "Akemi!" "Well done!" "What are you doing?" "Akemi!" "Brace up!" "Otsu." "I'm dying now" "I've been so wicked." "Oh, no!" "You saved my life!" "Don't die!" "Akemi!" "Darling!" "At last... you hold me... in your arms." "Brace up, Akemi!" "It's all over with me" "I can't even..." "see you" "Be happy together, you two" "Musashi!" "Where is Master Musashi?" ""l have been officially employed as Lord Hosokawa's teacher... and will leave for Kokura, his Castle Town" "I am desirous to have the match at Kokura, April next."" "My Master's so unreasonable to leave you like this" "After all, he prefers fencing to me" "Kokura Town, Lord Hosokawa's country seat" ""Our Lord's Retainer Kojiro Sasaki will fight by command... with Musashi Miyamoto of Mimasaku Province."" "Musashi." "In five days, eh?" "Fight fair and square, like a real samurai" "He is a peerless match, sir." "I will not spoil your honorable name" "In four days" "He's busy." "But I am his childhood friend" "An intimate friend" "I was with him at the fencing school" "He'll remember my name without fail" "They ignored me while I was jobless" "But today even strangers want to see me" "Such is life." "But it's something for rejoicing" "Your prowess will be acknowledged, definitely" "After the match, another big event" "My daughter is impatient" "Please, Otsu!" "Let me find my Master" "Please." "Why have I come all this way?" "In this match he might meet the worst" "If so, I'll gather his remains" "So I must see him." "I must speak to him!" "From Musashi, sir?" ""l will arrive in my own boat in time" "I hope this is satisfactory"" "I see." "He didn't come here out of respect" "He'll go directly to the isle" "But where is he?" "Brace up, Otsu" "What happened?" "She's sick" "Omitsu" "You look pensive" "Think I'll lose?" "Oh, no" "You may not expect it but you're afraid" "I'll win." "To defeat him has been my ambition" "I'll defeat him with my own ability" "Prayers of those who wish me victory and talismans... are useless to me" "Therefore don't pray for me, dear" "Sympathy harms my mental tranquility" "I want to fight alone" "Return to the castle" "Now I feel relieved" "Hey, Sasuke." "Is it ready?" "Sure" "It's an honor for a boatman to row for Master Musashi" "The boat's been purified" "Thank you for the kind gift I wear now" "I feel so refreshed." "Good luck, sir" "One moment." "I want you to see someone before you leave." "Me?" "Don't bother to get up" "Otsu!" "I can't see him like this" "Master!" "Don't come in!" "I'm coming!" "Otsu." "At last we meet again" "You look weak." "Very ill?" "I'm cured now" "My illness is so whimsical, you know" "Let's take a walk, shall we, Otsu?" "This is the first time you ever asked me" "Let's." "Of course" "Until today I've walked my own way... and made you suffer a lot" "Forgive me." "But I'm not as heartless as I may seem" "I know." "You do?" "That's why I've loved you" "Darling!" "What a lucky day it is today!" "I can fight with clear conscience now" "Why do you cry?" "I hate it" "I wish you weren't a samurai!" "Darling, abandon your sword." "Don't fight!" "Let them call you a coward!" "I crave for happiness, just us two!" "That's impossible now, Otsu" "Please!" "I won't let you go!" "Oh no!" "Don't be unreasonable" "I'm a woman" "I wish you had been an ordinary man" "Otsu, don't demoralize me, please" "A samurai's wife sends off her man with a smile" "Especially when it might be for good" "Is that the Island?" "No, sir, that's not it" "Our island lies beyond that." "A smaller one" "Is this where a sea-battle was fought in olden times?" "What is that for, sir?" "For the duel" "Fight with a wooden one?" "I like the size" "Listen." "If I lose and fall... take my dead body back... to Otsu" "Dear God!" "Don't talk rot!" "Take this as my memento" "Musashi's boat is sighted!" "Musashi is coming!" "Musashi has come!" "Don't be nervous" "You'll see the mysterious power of my sword" "Watch me" "Musashi!" "Mr. Miyamoto." "That was splendid" "He was the best fencer I will ever encounter" "I'm so glad." "I'm so glad!" "I was praying so I wouldn't bring you back dead" "I'm so glad about it all." "I'm so happy!" "THE END"
