Master Tsugumo,
:49:03
I'm afraid Hayato Yazaki
is also absent due to illness.
:49:10
Master Yazaki is also ill?
:49:13
I'm sorry to hear that.
:49:20
Again it seems I have no choice.
:49:23
I request Master Umenosuke Kawabe.
:49:31
Counselor,
:49:34
surely it's not possible
:49:38
that Master Kawabe
is also under the weather?
:49:55
Well, well.
:49:57
It seems he is indeed indisposed.
:50:02
All three unavailable
on this particular day -
:50:09
what a very odd coincidence.
:50:15
Most curious.
:50:25
- He's up to something.
- Clearly so.
:50:28
Hikokuro was the one
who first insisted
:50:31
that Motome Chijiiwa
be forced to go through with harakiri.
:50:37
Yazaki was the one
:50:40
who discovered his blades were bamboo
and insisted he be forced to use them,
:50:44
and Kawabe was quick to agree.
:50:46
That's why I urged that he at least
be spared the bamboo blade.
:50:50
- Of what good is that now?
- Indeed, sire.
:50:56
But how shall we deal with him?
:50:58
I doubt he intends
to meekly disembowel himself.
