Original subtitles

I decided to write a story to cure my boredom.

But I seem to have a case of writer's block.

Then you should try to conquer the land, Onee-sama.

That would be much more entertaining.

But I'm not interested in conquest.

Conquest...

Not interested.

I'll leave that to Nobunaga-dono.

Then let's send something to Nobunaga-san.

Send something?

I just obtained a splendid hunting hawk.

I'm sure Nobunaga-dono would love it.

We could have her join us for a hunt.

I can't wait!

I'm really looking forward to it, too!

In more ways than one!

Episode 5

Ghost Story Maiden

What's hawk hunting?

It means using a trained hawk to hunt.

It's a major form of entertainment around here.

Your lord is a large fan of hawks as well.

Lords from other countries come and bring them to her.

Does hunting mean I get meat for once?

A banquet! A banquet!

A banquet with meat from hunted beasts!

I shall attend as well!

Shingen-san! And Kenshin-san, too!

Quite a splendid hawk!

Well done, Ieyasu.

No, not at all.

We didn't even invite you guys.

You're not here to reclaim the armor pieces, are you?

Of course not.

I received a letter stating that a splendid banquet would be hosted here.

What?

I'm sorry.

I sent a letter to both of them.

We were all supposed to go hawk hunting,

and then we would have a banquet.

I thought that it would please you.

Ieyasu, you're a splendid girl.

Would you like to be my retainer?

No, I want to take care of her!

Hold on! I want to!

What are you talking about?!

Ieyasu-chan is practically my sister!

No, me!

Me!

Me!

Then me, too!

You're a dog. What do you want with her?

Well, maybe she could take care of me.

So that's your type.

Don't be jealous.

What? You think you're my boyfriend or something?

By the way, everyone already left.

Wait for me!

I'm coming, too!

I want meat!

Jeez...

I want meat, too.

Everyone has too much stamina...

Don't fall behind, Hideyoshi!

Don't you want to see my bird's heroics?

Your bird? Which bird?

Tokunyan?

Tokunyan!

I'm sorry, Hideyoshi-san.

Is something wrong?

Not at all.

Let's get going.

If we're late, Akerin will yell at us.

Surely...

Go, go!

What kind of bird is that?

A pheasant? I've never tried one.

Anyway, go!

The hawk Ieyasu gave you is well trained.

Nobunaga-san's just that good.

You flatter me.

You guys can stop talking like a bunch of golfing businessmen.

Let's go!

We can have pheasant!

And duck soup!

But duck noodles might good, too!

You're really hungry, aren't you?

I haven't had meat in forever!

A bunny?

I want to keep it!

Catch it!

It's not coming back.

My lord, what shall we do?

Hideyoshi, you want to keep that rabbit?

I do!

Very well!

Everyone, let's go!

It's practically as dark as night!

This area is known as the Sea of Trees.

It really is thick.

In a forest this thick, don't you normally...

I can't see anything from up here, either.

Yoshimoto-san!

Don't scare us like that!

Hanging from a vine in a forest...

I can see a light farther in.

Someone might be there.

It would be good to have some light.

Let's head that way.

So this is a hill of the beheaded?

The beheaded?

The heads of those beheaded during a war are buried here.

Oh, so it's a graveyard.

We're getting closer to the light.

Indeed.

Is somebody there?

What is this?

A tea party in the middle of the forest?

You noticed that?

They're dead. They're definitely dead!

These must be the ghosts of the fallen Genji warriors.

You're Date Masamune-dono.

Are you a ghost, too?

No, I'm still alive.

Is that an acquaintance of yours, Mitsuhide-san?

This is...

Well, sort of.

You kinda look like someone I know.

I suppose Date-sensei doesn't have boobs that big.

So what are you doing here?

I was trying to travel through this forest,

when I was forced to join them for tea.

If you do not wish to stay, then leave.

It's not that easy.

It seems they're telling a hundred stories.

In order to leave, I must tell stories that satisfy them.

That's really hard!

There's no way one person could tell all one hundred!

Everyone, please help me complete the hundred stories!

Goodbye.

We're in the middle of hawk hunting.

What?

Let's keep hunting!

First, we have to find that hawk.

How awful.

What?!

You should give up.

I just went the wrong direction.

Why?!

Shingen, go that way!

We'll go this way!

Right.

Then this way!

What about this way?

I'm so thirsty.

They have tea, if you'd like some.

So we have to join the hundred stories no matter what?

Um, we just happened along this way.

Please let us go!

Say something!

If they won't talk, we'll kill them!

It's useless to wave your blades at the dead.

Then what do we do?

We should do what they want and tell scary stories.

Ieyasu-chan is right.

I guess so.

What?!

I really don't want to!

Ieyasu-dono is the one who said we should.

How about she goes first.

Very well.

Tokunyan looks really spooky.

This story is called, "Ohana-san of the Latrine".

In an empty latrine...

What's wrong?

Is something in your ears?

No.

In an empty latrine—

My throat's bothering me.

Are you not good with these?

Th-That's not it at all.

Then let's listen to her.

I know.

In an empty latrine,

if you knock three times...

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

And then say,

"Ohana-san, are you there?"

That's the story.

One of the candles went out!

Now we can go back.

No we can't!

The tea party doesn't end

until all hundred stories have been told.

There are ninety-two left.

No way!

When you're walking along a road at night,

and from behind you comes...

In the ruins of a castle burned during the war,

you can hear a lute...

If you look into the mirror, exactly at midnight...

My lord!

I'm not your lord!

I'm terribly sorry.

Hanging from the ceiling

in the room where the armor was kept,

was...

Tie her up!

One day, a sinister letter...

I mean, a scroll arrived.

It had only a single character written on it.

Each day, a different letter with a different character arrived.

All right. It's my turn now.

A baby was abandoned before a samurai's manor.

The lord of the manor decided to take the baby and raise it as her own.

And then something amazing happened.

What do you think?

Scary, huh?

That's it?

What do you mean by that?

What kind of amazing thing happened?

What kind?

Like if they all mysteriously died or something.

You have to tell us that part or it isn't scary.

Oh, yeah! They're all dead.

It happened hundreds of years ago!

This isn't working.

It's my turn.

I'll begin.

This story is really scary! You don't want to hear it!

It's supposed to be scary.

Just tell the story.

Don't blame me if you regret it.

All right.

On the grounds of a certain temple, there stands a strange cedar tree.

I-If you touch that tree...

Tie her up again!

Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty...

We're hardly making any progress!

None of my lord's stories count!

And Akerin's over there freaking out!

What do we do?

I'm all out of stories.

I still have a couple left.

Tokunyan's our only hope.

Don't forget me!

My lord, it's good to want to do a good job,

but it's no good without strength!

Just leave it to me.

How can I conquer the land if I can't even do this?

I suppose that's okay.

And then, they heard a sound in the night.

And the picture...

And she never spoke to anyone else ever again.

And then she woke up, and it was all a dream!

And it was the stupidest thing ever!

But that wasn't scary at all!

Maybe I'll just blow them out!

Nobunaga-san wants to conquer the land, but look at her.

It won't be easy for her.

Wow... She's cute but harsh.

Then I shall simultaneously eliminate all the candles, with the scariest story ever.

You couldn't possibly—

Oh, I have a really good one that I forgot about!

It was a horror story for the cell phone, and it's really scary!

I'll tell it.

Hideyoshi, give it to me.

You said you'd help me conquer, right?

But...

Just tell me!

All right...

Listen carefully.

Okay... Yeah.

You aren't supposed to laugh there!

The story I'm about to tell

could happen to anyone, anywhere.

She seems to have learned how to tell a story.

I guess I get the credit for teaching her.

Actually, she does look pretty scary.

And then!

Then...

You didn't forget, did you?

And then,

there was a clanking from the vending machine in front of the convenience store.

And then, there was a clanking from the vending machine in front of the convenience store.

"Convenience store"?

"Vending machine"?

Oh, crap!

Oh, crap.

No, don't repeat that part.

No, don't repea—

Huh? They look kind of scared.

Okay! I'll go with this.

And what came out of the vending machine was the same thing the girl was holding when...

This is a true story.

Something terrifying will happen to anyone who hears it

and doesn't retell it to four others within four days.

It's over!

The candles!

Nobunaga-dono...

We see that you are one who is truly worthy to rule.

They spoke!

The dead samurai spoke!

Worthy to rule...

Impressive, Nobunaga-dono.

You really did it.

That was a truly scary story.

It was nothing!

I think they were only afraid of you, not the story.

Oh, right! We need to untie Akerin!

Hey, Akeri—

Me, too!

We're back.

We found the hawk, and Mitsuhide's kunai got the rabbit.

Everything worked out.

Let's go back and have a banquet!

I'm pretty hungry, too.

So am I!

That was quite a splendid job.

Nobunaga will undoubtedly collect all of the armor pieces now that her ego's inflated.

And it won't be long before I take it from her.

Anyway, those Genji samurai were pretty well done.

Jeez! Everyone left without me!

No, that was not our doing.

What?

Then what did you do?

Nothing, really.

Useless idiot.

Tokunyan was different from her usual self.

Eat up, you guys!

Look what happened to the rabbit!

You said you wanted it.

I never said I wanted to eat it!

Don't be like that.

Rabbits are yummy.

I-I'm fine.

Really!

Come on!

Well? Isn't it delicious?

Oda's child general is truly worthy to rule.

The true ancestors have said so.

Well, I guess that's interesting

in more ways than one.

Sensei, why did you call me to the teacher's lounge?

Hide Yoshino

Hidaka Rina

Date-Sensei

Hirata Yuka

I wanted to hear a romantic story from your childhood.

Romantic Story

A romantic story from my childhood...

Yes! A romantic story!

Let me see.

When I was in elementary school,

I liked a boy named Take-chan.

Take-chan

Take-chan?

So Take-chan...

Take-chan moved away.

He moved away?

Yeah.

Watch next time, okay?
