You?

Good to know you are doing well, father.

Futaboshi Hikoma has met his much older adopted son, Ganjiro from Hirado again.

At the same time, Orie had to endure undeserved incident on her assignment.

My wife left this in the morning when she disappeared.

Then Orie was notified about Kawamura starting to be suspicious.

And then, Kawamura secretly appeared near Hikoma, but Orie had no way of knowing that.

"Tuma wa Kunoichi"

Oh, Tarokichi what's up?

What's the cause of your dispute?

It's Benkichi.

Sanpei did it first! Maki was mucking me!

Chuta was the one who was mocking! Stop it already!

There, there, stop. OK, OK, stop!

Oh, who is fighting?

Ah, Harada-san, how are you?

Ah, I am just patrolling but also checking on kid's dispute cases.

Eh?

How does magistrate's office handle them?

Well, they will go in front of magistrate with their parents and investigated very strictly.

Did you hear that? You don't want to go through that, do you?

NO! Scary!

Then, what can you do? What can we do?

If you talk to each other, you could settle without fight.

What do you think? Why don't we think about it together?

Before that, go wash your face! You will be refreshed that way.

There. Yes.

Wash it well!

Thanks.

What is it!?

Ah, no, no. I am not an intruder. I am just eating rice.

What's the matter? He is eating without permission.

Please don't look at me suspiciously.

Here you are, Sir Futaboshi.

Ah, is he Futaboshi-sama?

Yeah. He is Sir Futaboshi Hikoma's asopted son.

Adopted? Adopted son? Shouldn't it be a dad instead?

Hey! Don't be rude! His Excellency wants you.

Yeah. I will be right there. Please hurry.

You can eat it later. I'll be there, I'll be there.

Sir Futaboshi! Here! Give it back to me!

That male kitchen helper was from magistrate's office.

I see. You got rid of him good. Kawamura-sama praised you.

What kind of trick did you use?

There was no trick.

Futaboshi Hikoma's adopted son?

In addition to that, he is much older like his father's age.

How about putting metal plate around the ship?

That will turn it in to a battleship.

That's what you want, don't you?

Metal will add too much weight and makes it slow.

Sure enough, that's a battleship.

This is written by you, right?

“3 Canons for the ship and the castle.

5 rifles alongside the ship.”

That's just my hobby.

If it's just a hobby, then make it grand.

2 canons on each side of the ship. Total of 4.

How about 20 rifles?

Ganjiro. Yes.

Does Hikoma know your true identity?

Not at all.

This stone acts as a lost and found bulletin board for missing children.

Ah, excuse me.

Father!

There you are.

What's up?

Why don't we go to Ryogoku?

I saw an interesting gig there. Just like Edo is called as “sharp as a needle”. I admire it.

Ah, anyways, I need to take him back to his housing first.

Thank you, sensei. Thanks.

Father, shall we go then? Yeah.

Father?

The gig which we are about to see is called “Goshokoban” (next life coin).

“Goshokoban”? What are they selling?

1 ryo (gold coin) for 15 mon.

It can't be. Yes.

"Goshokoban 15 mon for one try"

Do good things in this life time. "Goshokoban 15 mon for one try"

No matter how rich you get, if you don't have generous feelings, you will have tough time with money after you die.

You will be tortured by the hell king.

Ah, father, that's it.

Buy a gold coin for 15 mon and let it flow to the river.

Then, you will not have money trouble in your next life.

Interesting.

Please try.

Shin-san. Do it.

OK! Do it! Do it!

There you go. 15 mon thanks. Please.

I just throw it, right? No no no no.

You need to throw it correctly.

You see the target there, right? Aim there.

All right! Go go go!

Ah, disappointing.

Father, there, there, this way.

Actually, that child is retrieving the coin.

Ah, good job, good job. You must be cold.

Thank you.

Ah, Fujimatsu, aren't you!? Ah? Sensei.

Wow! You two know each other?

Yeah. He is my student.

Kurimanju! (Chestnut bun.)

What? Is he this boy's Mr. Sensei?

Hi, hello. Tea! Tea for Mr. Sensei!

Ah, that's OK. Please. Please.

I have been wondering since you stopped coming after the New Years.

There is no leisure for the poor.

I see. So did you get it?

Yeah.

If I couldn't, my dad and I have to hang ourselves.

Eh? We are just borrowing this.

Is a man on the bridge your father?

Yeah. Gosh, this is a clever business.

Aren't you cold? Not really. Inside of water is warmer.

You swim very well.

My late mom was a woman diver in Awa.

Ah, I see. You are a good swimmer.

Fujimatsu did you get it?

Who is he? My Sensei from the school in Hoshinji-temple.

I am Futaboshi Hikoma. Nice to see you.

I am his father.

Um, dad, I understand you need to make living, but it's important for kids in Fujmatsu's age to learn also.

If he could read and write, and be able to use abacus he could get better job in the future…

I know that but I am handful for making ends meet and can't worry about future.

You don't have to worry about the tuition.

Thank you for caring about us.

How is your leg? Ah, this.

Because of this, I am depending on him too much. Still, amazing.

No matter how you look at him, there is no way for him to handle important duty.

He gets amused by peculiar gig.

He is just a strange school teacher.

I think Kawamura-sama is worrying about him too much.

>

What do you want?

- Saikaiya -

Last night?

Does it have something to do with the incident of a secret agent in your house?

I don't know.

So, I intentionally came out of the mansion but no one followed me.

Could it be? Do you think the government is after you about the ship in Hirado?

If so, then they should keep eyes on Hirado.

That's true, but….

To my mom.

I saw your husband from Hirado the other day.

He seemed very nice.

You finally smiled.

Here you go.

Kawamura-sama thinks Futaboshi Hikoma is on a mission given by Matsura Seizan.

Thank you very much.

Starch....

They are after Hikoma-san?

"Need to see you outside."

Oh, here you are. Yeah. I can't work with this rain.

I see, I see. Shall we do Sumo? Yeah.

Oyuu-chan. What have you done?

Sorry. I did it.

Shake it. Shake it!

Don't. It will break. I will get Sensei.

Leave it up to me.

Can't reach.

Bring that here. Yeah!

It's Dangerous. Little more. Little more.

Let's wait until Sensei comes.

Fujimatsu!

Fujimatsu! Are you OK?

What's wrong? Eh? Here?

Here? Hurts? Does it hurt? Does it hurt?

I am sorry, Fujimatsu.

Fujimatsu, are you OK?

He must have sprained his ankle. It will take 5 – 10 days to recover.

I can't go to Ryogoku for a while, huh.

Yeah.

I am sorry. My…

It's not Oyuu-chan's fault.

I will have my parents take care of your living expenses.

What do you mean by take care?

Because your injury is my fault.

I don't need charity.

It's not charity.

It is! This is apology!

There, there, there. Rich people's apology is always money!

Ah, hey! Oyuu-chan!

Why did you say that? She came over for you.

- Tachibanaya -

Welcome. Welcome. - Tachibanaya -

She came home crying, so I was wondering what was going on.

I see. That's what happened.

Thank you.

Ah, is that a raccoon? Yes.

Ah. Hey, hey.

Let's do it. Here we go!

We had it at the store front, but a head came off.

Oyuu. Sensei is worried about you.

Sensei, I am sorry.

Oyuu-chan was worried about their livelihood.

That's why you said harsh thing unintentionally.

You don't need to worry about it.

But, how are they planning to make their ends meet?

I will think about it for them.

Madame Masae, It's been long time.

Are you “Jumpei the dusk”?

It's too early to retire for someone who was used to be called as “castle tower Masae”

Humph.

You became totally divine for me when I found out about you once went inside the top tier of Nagoya castle.

It's from a long time ago.

Where are you going today?

I sometimes go out to get exercise this way.

Ah, that's better.

It's wasteful for you to look older.

Thanks!

Tea please. Yes!

It's unusual to call me out, isn't it?

In the middle of the night, there was someone who came to peek at me inside the mansion.

Thanks for waiting. Thanks.

Holding a breath.

Breath, huh.

May be the Dusk.

Is “Jumpei the dusk” back?

Be careful.

He is cunning to both allies and enemies.

I too am being watched by the Sakurada complex. Is it Kawamura-sama?

Don't you have hesitation toward your Shinobi duty?

Is it because of the pity ending of Oyumi?

Or, husband from Hirado.

I have no hesitation!

I don't have any other way to live anyway.

You are terrible at lying.

No wonder Kawamura-sama has doubt toward you.

In any case, carry out your current assignment.

Then, kill your husband from Hirado to finish up.

Otherwise, you will be killed.

- Honjo Matsura minor mansion -

Ah, excuse me. I would like to see his Excellency.

Yes sir.

Sir Futaboshi is here.

Oh, really? Then.

That's fine. Ah, yes.

Your Excellency, I have something to discuss.

In any case, carry out your current assignment.

Then, kill your husband from Hirado to finish up.

“Goshokoban” idea is interesting.

However, for that reason, a child can't pick up the coin anymore.

I have been wondering if there was some other way to make money.

In short, what else to sell for 15 mon instead of a gold coin, right?

It should be something with low cost base.

Cost base.

Ah, this is very low coast base also.

What's this?

This is a structure of the wrecked foreign ship in Hirado.

This is...

We are assessing how to modify it.

Take this ship to outer sea and do commerce with foreign countries.

What is this?

A canon.

Why do you need weapons?

If we are breaking the rule of foreign voyage prohibition, then we must be ready to fight.

Is this a battleship?

No, a merchant ship.

That's why we keep it under the deck until you really need it.

I don't understand why his Excellency is so open to you about that kind secret.

Nautical matters should be handled by nautical specialist, I think.

But... Oh, well.

Does she look like your wife?

I wonder if you two can ever meet each other again.

“If we can't meet in this life time, we will meet in our next life.”

I will see her in this life time.

Here, look at it.

Yes.

How pretty.

I wonder why your wish is not coming true.

Have you done something bad in your former life?

I have no idea about my former life.

May be you should drive out an evil spirit or something.

What do you mean by that?

Father, a ball, ball!

Ah, good.

Thank you very much.

Oh, that's right. For the girl's day celebration early next month, many regions have customs of releasing Hina dolls in to a river.

Yeah, what about it?

To share good luck of those customs, why don't you release a paper Hina doll to a river?

Let female doll carry your sin away from your former life to a river.

Then, you will have a good match with a lady from now on.

You get a good match by releasing a Hina doll?

People implore on something like that from old days.

"Kane's memorial tablet.”

Throw a woman to a river?

But I don't really want to throw a woman.

Hey, Ganjiro, you become a woman.

What? Father what are you up to?

Disguising you as a woman is the only way.

Just in case you get thrown in to a river, you are a nautical guy.

What are you talking about!? Which idiot would choose to be thrown in to a river knowing its icy cold?

I will do it. You need a girl, right? I will do it!

What are you saying!? Oyuu.

Because of my fault, it turned out to be this way. So, I want to do it!

No! It's not Oyuu's fault. I got myself injured anyway.

Fujimatsu. Besides, this is my job to begin with.

Dad, Sensei, I will be a girl.

"Gosho onna 15 mon for 1 try" (Next life woman)

To those of you who was not lucky enough to have a good match with a lady. "Gosho onna 15 mon for 1 try" (Next life woman)

Those of you who are having tough time attracting girls.

There is a reason for it.

Stay still.

You didn't' have good match with them in this life time, but if you are wishing to have a good match in your next life.

Release this poor girl trapped inside of raccoon. Pick them up together and throw them to the river.

That will bring you luck and you will succeed to attract ladies in your next life as well as in your current life.

That's good! You will be able to meet someone you are searching for, too!

Only 15 mon for one try!

Can I?

Yes. Its 15 mon.

Hey. Yeah.

Are you ready to rescue if they are thrown?

It's kind of too late to tell you this, but you should be doing my job. Eh?

Bro!

Bro! Keep up!

Hurts.

I should be able to attract girls!

That's right. Good! Use your strength. Good!

Omiwa! Oroku!

Hikoma is the one who wants to implore on “Goshonna”, isn't he?

Yes. Totally.

"Guide book of Western style weapons."

Sensei! Yeah.

I and my wife will be going out. Can you look after Tarokichi?

Yeah, OK. We will be back by noon.

Yes. Tarokichi, be good.

Bye Sensei. Yeah. I got it.

OK! It's done.

Where shall we put it?

Ah, there. OK. Got it.

Let's see… Sake wholesaler in Shinkawa is Tajimaya.

And then, go to the bean wholesaler Fukusumi in Nihonbashi.

Tell them "Soybeans as usual". Soybeans.

Will you be OK? Yeah. OK?

Yeah. I'm counting on you!

Yeah.

You can't lift it like that!

Everybody, please line up this way.

There, there, please line up.

How is it? More, more, more.

I'm worried if Fujimatsu is dumped already.

He will be OK. He will be fine. There is no need to worry.

I wonder how they are doing. I'm excited.

Kawamura-sama.

I wonder how they are doing.

I wonder if they are OK. This way, this way.

Kawamura-sama is becoming suspicious about your husband from Hirado.

No wonder Kawamura-sama has doubt toward you.

In any case, carry out your current assignment.

Then, kill your husband from Hirado to finish up.

Hey! You bastard!

Since I wasn't able to dump the raccoon, there is no good match in my current and future life!?

Um, this is just for fun, thing...

You snatched 15 mon for a joke!?

Dad!

Wait! Please, wait!

What are you, bastard?

I am the one who came up with this idea.

If you were not satisfied with anything, then we will refund your money. So please stop the violence.

I was totally unsatisfied!

Risk your life for your business! Bastard!

He was risking his life!

This father and son were making livelihood by doing that kind of business.

He jumped in to a cold river for his father.

But he injured himself unexpectedly and unavoidably doing this gig.

Whatever!

Hey! What are you blabbing about?

Hey, get up! Hey!

Why are you lying around! Bastard!

Two seashells make one pair.

Just like a married couple.

If you have any amount of Saumrai blood, use your sward!

Isn't this short one yours? Draw your sword!

This guy isn't worthy as a Samurai!

Brats, move!

A pathetic guy like this….

If you don't move, I will kill you!

Um, thank you very much for saving us.

You, too. Sensei.

Thank you very much!

Fujimatsu are you OK?

Yeah. I worry more about Sensei than me.

Sensei! So sorry. Are you OK?

Ah. Sensei, too.

Sensei, are you OK? Ouch.

That was awful.

Please teach me a way of the sword.

Why now?

I thought I wouldn't need my sword for teaching at school.

But in case of emergency, I realized I won't be able to save myself or my kids without anything.

Take lessons at the Dojo in this Mansion.

Orie said she would leave Matsura minor mansion.

She must have gotten hold of something.

Next! More, more.

Here! Ah! Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Ganjiro. Yes.

Next!

That book is gone.

That's bad.

Ah, going to Miso store? Yeah.

Have a nice day.

May I help you? I am from the Sakurada complex.

Go on to the back.

I can see her.

OK.

Put all the knowledge of nautical enthusiast in to this ship.

I brought this out of Matsura miner mansion.

Why haven't you given that to Kawamura-sama!? Hesitating because of a guy.

Is Orie's father still alive?

If you refuse your assignment, I will kill you right here.

Why did you make me a shinobi?

That means, your wife is now our enemy

I don't want to lose Hikoma-san. My way of doing?
