:16:14
So the demon monster turned out to be
a giant boar.
:16:18
I followed its trail westward through
the mountains...
:16:20
to where the samurai were attacking
those villagers.
:16:23
- But then-
- You lost it. That's life.
:16:25
See this place here?
:16:27
When I came here last, a few years back,
this was a lovely little village.
:16:31
But then there must have been
a flood or a landslide or a fire.
:16:35
The only sure thing
is that everybody's dead.
:16:39
These days, there are
angry ghosts all around us,
:16:43
dead from wars,
sickness, starvation.
:16:46
And nobody cares.
:16:48
So you say you're under a curse?
So what? So's the whole damn world.
:16:53
Mmm! Ahh!
:16:56
I was wrong to fight in that village.
Two men are dead because of me.
:17:02
Samurai thugs.
You win some,you lose some.
:17:05
Hand me your bowl. My point is,
everybody dies. Some now, some later.
:17:09
From brothel girl
to Emperor.
:17:12
I've heard them say that the Emperor
has promised...
:17:15
an entire hill of gold to anyone
who can help him live forever.
:17:19
Beautiful bowl.
I've seen one other like it.
:17:22
Have you ever heard of the Emishi
people? They're said to ride red elks.
:17:26
They also use stone arrowheads
just like you.
:17:33
Of course, they were all
wiped out 500 years ago.
:17:36
Don't worry.
I won't tell anyone where you're from.
:17:39
Anyway, I've got
much bigger fish to fry.
:17:42
Have you ever come across
anything like this before?
:17:49
Never have.
:17:51
It came from the giant boar.
It was inside him.
:17:54
I'm sure it was that little ball of iron
that killed him.
