1:19:03
we needed Roppei to identify him.
1:19:06
Neither I nor Kume ever saw him.
1:19:09
That has to be why he killed Roppei.
1:19:13
I can't think of any other explanation.
1:19:18
Is your enemy still in this town, then?
1:19:22
He obviously was here
when Roppei was killed.
1:19:25
Whether he still is...
1:19:27
But so long as you
and your sister are here,
1:19:31
wouldn't he stick around
so he can kill you?
1:19:36
What would he gain from killing us?
1:19:40
We no longer have any way
to recognize him,
1:19:46
even if we come
face to face with him.
1:19:48
To kill us now would be
a purely gratuitous slaughter.
1:19:55
I see what you mean.
1:19:57
If that itchy nose of yours
has been satisfied,
1:20:00
please be on your way.
1:20:03
Might I perhaps ask
just one other thing?
1:20:10
If I may ask,
1:20:13
what is the origin of this vendetta?
1:20:18
Chess.
1:20:21
Chess. It all started
over a game of chess.
1:20:31
When my father
was traveling with Roppei,
1:20:35
he became acquainted with a samurai
who liked chess.
1:20:40
It's an embarrassing story,
1:20:43
but a friendly wager
somehow turned sour.
1:20:50
I don't know who
drew his sword first,
1:20:53
but in any case,
my father was killed.
1:20:57
That's why only Roppei
knew who our enemy was.
