1:38:01
Okiku... the truth
is that...
1:38:05
...Sir Tsuruchiyo's
real father is...
1:38:08
...the Lord of Hikone,
Himself!
1:38:31
So, anyway, Kojima...
1:38:35
...Niiro is not aware
of this yet?
1:38:39
Correct, sir.
1:38:41
As I informed you earlier, sir, in
preparation for tomorrow...
1:38:45
...I went to the Kamakura riverside
to confirm our plans with him.
1:38:48
However, Niiro was nowhere
to be found.
1:38:51
Just then, Kisoya Masagoro entered
from the front, a bit hesitantly.
1:38:56
I immediately sought
a place to hide.
1:38:59
A while ago, I reported that
there seemed to be...
1:39:02
...a mystery regarding the close relation-
ship between Niiro and Kisoya.
1:39:06
I became somewhat curious
about that, sir.
1:39:09
Before long, Okiku of
Sagamiya arrived...
1:39:12
...and they discussed the incredible
story which I've just reported!
1:39:15
I knew that I had to report here
as soon as possible, sir, but...
1:39:17
...I couldn't move until after
the two of them had left!
1:39:21
Also, the way they
were talking...
1:39:23
...leads me to believe they'll visit Niiro
tomorrow, to tell him the truth.
1:39:33
Take care of it by tonight...
1:39:39
Who shall we send?
1:39:41
Who shall we send?
We need our own men for tomorrow.
1:39:45
So, Sir Hoshino, perhaps you ought
to contact our friends in the clan...
1:39:47
...and ask them to dispatch people
unrelated to tomorrow's events.
1:39:50
Uh-huh...
1:39:52
But, if many men are running around
in the middle of the night...
1:39:55
...the suspicions of the gate guards
will surely be aroused.
1:39:59
Better to do it early
in the morning...
