1:35:01
...as well as some who seem
to be from Choshuu.
1:35:12
Okiku, listen... About
Sir Tsuruchiyo...
1:35:16
Have you noticed anything unusual
about him recently?
1:35:18
No... Nothing
particularly.
1:35:21
The other day... Well, when he came
to visit me for the first time...
1:35:25
...in five years, he told me
something quite puzzling.
1:35:28
He said he'd soon become a noble
samurai... or words to that effect.
1:35:32
Oh, he told me that, too!
1:35:34
Oh, he told me that, too!
What?!
1:35:35
What?!
1:35:35
It was just this morning, in fact.
What?!
1:35:38
I thought that he must
be dreaming, but...
1:35:41
...he said that he would soon
become a noble samurai.
1:35:48
Okiku... I'm afraid
that he'll...
1:35:52
Huh...?!
1:35:59
Forgive me, Kurihara...
1:36:03
I'll...
1:36:06
I'll do it...
1:36:08
Finally, tomorrow
morning...
1:36:12
For both of us, I shall
strive to do my best!
1:36:15
If I may ask, Sir
Kisoya...
1:36:17
...what did you mean when you said you
were concerned about something?
1:36:21
Sir Kisoya...
1:36:23
No, it's just my imagination!
It can't possibly be for real!
1:36:28
I just... cannot make
any sense of it all.
1:36:32
Just exactly what are
you talking about?
1:36:34
Okiku, it's just
a rumor.
1:36:35
Understand? It's just some
rumor floating around.
1:36:39
A group, led by Mito men, along with
Satsuma and Choshuu ronin...
1:36:44
...plans to assassinate Honorable
Elder li... or something.
1:36:46
That is ridiculous! It can't
possibly be true!
1:36:48
With the world in a
state of turmoil...
1:36:50
...unfounded rumors are bound to
appear and be spread around.
1:36:54
But, if we paid attention to them
all, we'd all die from worry.
1:36:57
Very true! I agree with you.
I hope that's the case here.
