:45:00
Now?
:45:04
Shouldn't we wait
until we know more?
:45:08
Never wait to pull a weed.
:45:18
Where I come from,
the racoons dry in moonlight.
:45:23
They take good care of their hides.
:45:26
I see.
:45:28
What do foxes do?
:45:30
There's a den at the Hino temple.
:45:33
The foxes who live there
:45:36
are very smart.
Whenever they buy sake,
:45:41
they pay for it.
:45:43
- With leaves?
- No.
:45:46
With real tarnished coins.
:45:50
They're very clever.
:45:52
Lieut. Commander Hijikata's family
had a gardener.
:45:56
His name was Genzaburo.
He grew potatoes.
:46:00
The townspeople called him
Potato Gen.
:46:04
The kids from the next village
:46:07
would swim across the river.
They'd steal potatoes from him.
:46:12
When he died,
:46:14
they attended his funeral,
covered by huge leaves.
:46:20
People thought they were
river sprites.
:46:23
I didn't.
:46:26
Why not?
:46:27
Because among them,
:46:29
among all these kids,
I recognized Hijikata.
:46:37
It's me, Soji.
:46:45
Why are you dressed like that?
:46:47
It's not my choice.
It's your fault.
:46:53
my fault?
:46:55
Capt. lnoue.
You pushed him to desperate lengths.
:46:59
Desperate?
