:32:01
I suppose he had no other recourse,
:32:04
but even so,
to bite off his tongue?
:32:07
Would you say he was being resourceful,
or just unseemly?
:32:11
Then again,
:32:13
who in his right mind attempts harakiri
with just a bamboo sword?
:32:21
Now then...
:32:24
what are your intentions?
:32:29
You mean...
:32:33
about this?
:32:37
The account I've given you
:32:40
of Motome Chijiiwa's fate
is true in every detail.
:32:47
Take my advice, Master Tsugumo.
:32:51
Quietly take your leave.
:32:54
You need have no such concerns with me.
:32:59
Unlike this Chijiiwa fellow...
:33:05
the sword in my belt
is not made of bamboo.
:33:09
Rest assured, I will not bite off my tongue.
I will disembowel myself in grand form.
:33:19
Very well.
:33:22
Master Tsugumo,
:33:23
since you are unswerving in your resolve,
I shall grant your wish.
:33:28
Attendant!
:33:35
This ronin from Hiroshima,
Master Hanshiro Tsugumo,
:33:39
is to be granted use of the courtyard
to perform harakiri.
:33:45
His present dress will not do.
:33:48
Give him fresh robes befitting
one who journeys to the next world.
:33:50
If I may.
:33:52
What is it?
:33:54
Please do not trouble yourselves
over such things.
:33:58
For the final moments
of a down-and-out ronin like myself...
