Please, just endure until then. 90 00:07:48,102 --> 00:07:50,333 Oh, don't look at that. 91 00:07:50,438 --> 00:07:53,203 That gift's from a hick Daimyo who struts around... 92 00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:58,542 ...talking about Bushido in this peaceful Genroku era! Toss it out. 93 00:07:58,713 --> 00:08:02,946 But, My Lord, he did go to the trouble. Wouldn't it be best to at least examine it? 94 00:08:03,117 --> 00:08:06,781 These days, one must often forget Bushido and adopt a more flexible approach. 95 00:08:06,888 --> 00:08:10,416 I know what the typical Asano family gift is like without having to look. 96 00:08:11,025 --> 00:08:13,808 I shall examine it, then. 97 00:08:19,033 --> 00:08:23,562 I see...
