If the Moon was a mirror...

my beloved's face...

I could see every night

I still have feelings for him

I haven't forgotten anything

Yukino?

I don't know her.

Yukino? Maybe, it's Chizuru's elder sister?

If you're talking about her...

she's very far away now.

Do you happen to know where she went?

To the place you can't reach.

I gave her food for free.

I paid for her doctor and medicine.

But trying to treat such a serious lung disease is pouring money down the drain.

It's just delaying the inevitable.

Merciful Buddha...

Let the dead go to heaven.

It's a lie...

Lie!

Calm down!

Someone is bound to find a solution.

I, personally, have nothing to do with it.

It won't do!

What's going on?

To my beloved wife...

I'll send a divorce petition

This is for you, sister!

Thank you, Sir!

Thank you, young man.

Thank you very much for everything!

Ume!

Oh... It's you.

Everyone's rejoicing in the spring...

only one monk is sorrowing

Sister Yurika!

I've been waiting for you!

Why didn't you write me?

I'd have come to meet you.

Hey, Yurika!

Which regiment are you from?

Here, listen.

Everyone knows, that I'm from the 21st Hamada regiment.

Yuri received his call-up papers.

Something must be wrong in the Emperor's Army.

What's going on in the world?

It's ridiculous.

Where are you going? Hey!

Did you think about me in prison?

Yes.

All I did was think about you.

Was there nothing else to do there? Darling...

Listen...

Have you kept what I gave you before I was arrested?

You mean the map?

You haven't lost it, have you?

I've kept it, but...

We shouldn't think about all those silly things.

Don't you want to find the treasure?

You'll become a millionaire's wife.

It's very nice to be a rich woman...

but, given my popularity,...

we can live comfortably as it is.

Alright-alright...

Yasu!

Go on... lick it a little...

- You're a libertine! - Me?

You're a libertine yourself, that's why a libertine has come to you.

You're insatiable...

- Sir, here's your bill. - What?

Elder, we owe you 1 yen 50 sen.

You owe me ten times as much.

What? Elder!

15 for this rathole?

You must be kidding me!

If you stay for one more night, I'll give you a discount.

Hey! Just pay.

Just pay? It's robbery!

Listen, these girls are so inexperienced.

Did you want Sakie? She's busy.

Libertine bitch! Who hired her?

Elder... If you use a woman, she becomes corrupt little by little.

Shut your mouth!

10-20 yen is nothing.

I'm thinking about the real job.

How's Sakie doing there?

Elder! Wait!

Hug me...

Damn!

This money...

I was saving it for my sister.

You can take it.

If you really want to help me...

help me escape from here.

I don't want to die here like my sister.

Will you help me?

I heard everything you were talking about.

What an unexpected encounter!

Do you know each other?

We used to share everything.

What do you want?

I've been listening to you... you seem to know the area really well. I have a risky job.

You'll earn a hundred times as much in no time.

Will you really help me?

Yes.

It's better to go together than alone.

Is there a person who will trust you?

Will you trust me?

Will this be enough?

Yes.

Alright, trust me.

Regiment... forward!

What's going on?

To the right salute!

- Forward! - What happened? - Over there!

Run!

Regiment... stop!

Forward!

According to the commander's order, our squadron...

is taking control of this area immediately.

Take position!

Seriously?

Has he really arranged everything with the ferryman?

Hey, what are you doing here?

You! Talk...

Bastards!

Brother, let's call for help.

Hang on.

What?

It's Jôkichi.

Who?

From the Shinjiro gang.

Does it hurt?

It's nothing.

Are we safe here?

We're not safe anywhere.

They'll want revenge.

I'd like...

to see the sea someday.

The sea?

Yes, I want to see it.

I've always dreamed about it.

When I'm free, I'd like to live in a village overlooking the sea.

Sister, where are you from?

I don't know.

You don't know?

But I think...

I was born near the sea.

Would you like a candy?

No.

The man, whose grave you passed...

Was he sister Chizuru's husband?

Did you love Chizuru?

Where are you going to go?

I've put you on the train, now you're free.

You can go to the sea or to the mountains, if you like.

Am I a burden for you?

You shouldn't be with me.

You've lit the wrong end of the cigarette...

Don't miss your chance!

Famous magician...

Shokokusai!

A beauty disappears in the blink of an eye!

A true wonder!

Not to miss! Welcome!

We're waiting for you!

Don't make a crowd! Everyone in turn!

Special delivery from Arabia.

Sweet lollipops.

Everything is gone. Every trouble has befallen us.

Our business went bust, we lost our home.

His mother died.

We're desperate.

He keeps crying for his mum.

We have no possessions left.

Only these three pieces of fabric were saved.

These three rolls are everything I have left.

If you want to buy one like this...

you'll have to pay 5 or 6 yen.

Or 15 yen for three.

You can make sure yourself. Quality material...

And I want only 10 yen for all three.

I'll take it...

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Here's 10 yen.

Thank you very much.

Your tears were so natural.

Here you are.

Thank you...

Do you need some fabric?

No.

Don't cry... don't cry...

Dad made a mistake. I'm sorry...

Welcome!

Samurai drama with Umenojo Bando. For the first time in the area!

The performance starts now. The interlude is called...

"The Art of Killing"...

Ah... Gen, long time no see!

Try your luck!

Put it here!

Then do like this and like this.

Here. I take the prize.

Hey, Gen, you cheated!

Everything is according to the rules!

Elder!

Elder!

Why are you looking so gloomy?

You're free now. You should be happy.

He was the one who saved me, because he can swim.

He swims that well?

He used to be a diver.

Did he?

Where is Jôkichi?

I don't know.

Apparently...

I was a burden for him.

Why?

Apparently, sister Chizuru, who died...

What happened to her?

The lady had ordered to kill her.

Ordered who?

A man named Senzo.

It's revenge.

Darling, what are you doing?

Bastard, you're stealing our costumes from the dressing room!

All we need is to wait for tail wind.

This time you're going to become a rich woman.

I can't wait.

Looks like he's not coming.

Indeed, he has fled.

You still haven't understood that?

Excuse me...

Have you finished?

Yes.

Would you like...

to have...

separate beds?

Yes?

Yes. Separate.

Can't sleep?

Alright, let's sleep together.

You're weird.

There was nothing between Jôkichi and you, right?

You're a strange woman...

Let's sleep together for real. Okay?

Okay.

I'm a child of the sea...

It's not the right time for songs.

The waves are crashing against the beach

Is this Mr. Senzo's room?

Yes.

Are you Senzo?

Are you looking for me?

Unexpected encounter, isn't it?

Wait...

Hang on. Where are you going?

Stop!

We have to talk.

Can we talk like men?

You're too irresponsible for a man.

All you're capable of is jokes.

Do you want to fight? Try, hit me.

It's a matter of life and death.

Will you be my right hand?

It's a conversation between men...

Don't you want to know where to find Senzo?

Do you know where he is?

It's important that no one hears this conversation.

Many years ago, my father and uncle...

saw a ship sink on the high sea.

It was a warship! A battleship of the Baltic Fleet.

Admiral Togo sank it.

Yes.

What does it have to do with the war and the Baltic Fleet?

Listen...

Ever since I met you in prison...

I've been wanting to entrust you with this.

What are you getting at?

You used to be a diver, didn't you?

That means you're a good swimmer.

We'll do it together.

A great job for us both.

Here, look.

It sank right here.

You can dive and find the ship.

Why do you want to kill Senzo?

Do you want to go back to prison?

I really do like you.

I don't know why.

It's destiny.

I've been dreaming of finding a person like you my whole life.

You'll get a half. Why aren't you saying anything?

There are gold coins down there.

I want you to find that Russian gold.

If you convert these 100-200 thousand to Japanese money...

you'll get a million yen!

Your share will be 500 thousand yen.

500 thousand yen are yours.

Hey, where's Jôkichi?

Hey!

Where has our guest gone?

Your friend got up bright and early and left.

Finish up.

I'm done.

Want more?

No.

Let's go then.

Thank god...

we've found the woman.

What about Jôkichi?

Jôkichi is another matter.

They say, he was wandering around the red light district, dressed in uniform.

Is it possible?

You talked to the boss, didn't you?

You promised to bring him Jôkichi.

Right?

Precisely because you promised to bring him Jôkichi...

we've come all the way here.

Yusaku...

We'll send this girl first thing.

What about Elder?

Until we sort it out with Jôkichi, we'll keep him in Hiranuma.

What for?

Because boss said so.

I'm counting on you.

Alright.

Where are you going?

I need to take a leak.

You've just done it.

If you need to, do it right here.

What are you doing?

He pissed his pants.

Are you really going to Hiranuma?

Here you go...

Asshole!

ÔTAGURO ATAE FIRM

I repair umbrellas...

A mouse under the bridge...

Has hid inside the geta

And eating zori, nom-nom-nom

Nom-nom-nom, who's eaten the cake?

No one

There is a sign on the shamisen store

Third building from the corner

After the master was murdered...

our sister was sold.

There was nothing we could do.

Forgive us.

Do you know anything about a man named Senzo?

No.

Brother, after you were released from prison...

didn't you go to Oba?

If I'd gone to Oba, what could I have found out?

- 2 pieces of ice. - Here you are.

Eat the half.

Yes.

Your turn.

Accepted.

Sorry, it's trumped.

Is it okay? Enough for me.

I'll take it.

Take a seat.

Is everyone ready?

Yes. It's my turn.

Trumped.

- Trumped. - Your turn.

Are you Senzo?

Do you know a person named Jôkichi?

He's going to kill you.

I'm sorry if this piece of news is not interesting for you.

This Jôkichi committed a petty crime...

and got into prison, like me.

I'm sorry... but you...

should really hide somewhere.

There's only one life.

You shouldn't jeopardize it.

Please, I beg you.

Thank you.

Let me through.

You're welcome.

I have hancho.

Okay, it's my turn.

Here's my move.

I also want to find him.

I'll find him even without you.

Anybody home?

Does Senzo live here?

I escaped from them.

I said, I escaped from them.

I've been waiting for you here, since I knew you had to find Senzo.

What?

It hurts.

Well, you've hit me. Are you satisfied now?

Hey!

I've been looking for you for your own good.

I want to come with you.

Piece of shit.

Wait.

You can hit me. You can go back to jail. I don't want to go back.

It hurts... very much.

You really can...

It hurts, seriously...

You're good at fighting.

You...

You...

It's you I care about...

Hurts...

I've been told that...

since I was born.

I'm Jôkichi, Shinjiro's younger brother.

Jôkichi, I didn't think you were so timid.

Have you found Jôkichi?

I don't know him anymore.

I don't know this person anymore.

Never again!

He's free to go to prison or to the grave.

I hate people who don't give a damn about their life.

Senzo!

Who put a contract on my brother's head?

Senzo!

Jôkichi...

don't listen to this bullshit.

You know...

this Jôkichi...

I don't want to hear his name anymore!

You're mistaken!

I'm grateful to him. Not for myself, but for my sister.

Where will you go now?

I want to see the sea.

Maybe, you will also go to the sea?

Where I go is my business.

We're close...

Only a little bit left to walk.

The sea!

Is there anyone who can dive here?

It's useless.

Why useless?

It's forbidden to dive here.

Forbidden?

Yes.

Says who?

The military.

See that?

It's a patrol vessel.

It runs three times a day.

I don't go there anymore.

So seamen have also got the wind.

We used to break this ban during the war.

Sometimes, but it was hard.

It's always hard to procure money.

But if you have a goal...

I have a boat.

I can give you the equipment.

Can't you go yourself?

I'm too old.

I can't do it.

Thank you for the purchase.

We don't need this.

Tighten it harder.

Sorry.

You can hug me.

Get up, please...

Wake up.

Are you alright?

Do you want to kill me?

Let's try once again.

Do as I taught you.

Like this... got it?

Have a go.

What is it?

Komagen, look.

Over there.

Damn him.

Well...

Maybe...

My jaw hurts.

Still hurts?

Buy another bowl.

What?

Two are not enough.

We missed you a lot.

We have to look here.

Well, is it ready yet?

Until now, I've behaved very irresponsibly.

From now on, everything will be different.

The patrol ship.

Now that's a real professional.

Nothing?

There's a strong current down there.

What your father saw, happened 30 years ago. The ship has been carried away by the current.

Let's change the position then?

Yes.

Done.

Tighten it better.

Done.

Ready.

Hey, what happened?

Damn... he's not responding.

Don't just stand there!

If you don't try harder, he'll die.

One-two... one-two...

Pull harder!

Come on, pull!

Faster...

If we find that money, what will you do?

There's no point in thinking about it.

I want to buy a land lot.

A land lot?

I'll build a house there.

A beautiful one.

That's a real thing.

I want to be a noble bandit, like Kunisada Chuji.

He took care of people in trouble, like a mother.

And one day I'll get married.

And you, what are you thinking?

I don't know.

Maybe, I'll move abroad.

Abroad?

Do you have family there?

No.

That's exactly what draws me.

You're strange.

You think so?

Welcome back!

Found anything?

Incredible...

You know...

it's probably from the Baltic Fleet.

A Russian crown.

Idiot.

It's a part of a searchlight.

In any case, it's a good sign.

After so many years, we have found a Russian searchlight.

Look at this thing.

Here it is.

See?

If we carry on like this, we'll soon find the treasure.

For me, even without the treasure...

every day here is joy.

Stop talking nonsense.

You want your share, don't you?

And then you can move abroad together.

Where are you going?

What is that car?

It's my business.

What business?

I'll go instead of you.

I can talk and settle everything.

It has nothing to do with you.

Don't interfere.

Wait!

What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? We're partners.

Don't you dare say that. It's arrogant.

We have equal shares in this.

Don't we?

I'm really glad...

that I came here.

Really?

Really.

Hello... I'm sorry...

The military doesn't allow you to come here.

We're very sorry.

Who are you?

Komagen...

THE END
