Oi to...

Lately, in a quick fashion

and on the wedding night

a strange thief breaks in.

Using a poisonous scorpion,

he takes large sums of money, and sets everything on fire.

He makes Edo tremble

his actions are the most brutal of all

He calls himself " Shooting Star "

This is the work of a demon. who doesn't even fear God.

THE SCORPION KING OF SHOGI VALLEY

Ok in u! Wait. Why?

I have no choice but to ask you a favor.

Mr. Konya, I'm busy.

I'm going door-to-door to investigate.

Sure, but..

Please help me.

I also have a big problem.

What is it?

On the second floor...

The neighborhood's chief..

. is betting on a game of shogi

Shogi gambling?

But a wanderer he had never seen before came In..

The chief and the lantern shop owner keep losing

That's not good.

Even a five ryos deposit could disappear.

That's what you get for betting on shogi

I beg you, please.

Come on, come on, come on...

Let's go! Move, move!

Shogi expert Komachi To rina wa has arrived.

We've been waiting for her.

Mr. Ian tern salesman..

You lost already. Give it up

In exchange..

I request another game.

Do you have any money to bet?

course.

Very well.

I'll be t all this, but..

Do you agree?

Of course.

Wow!

This is impressive.

It is a very special technique - That's why she's so good.

Ah, no.

I just remembered an I have engagement.

We can continue the game later.

One moment!

What is it?

Getting up in the middle of the game means you lost the bet..

Surrender the money you wagered.

Of course, of course!

What did you say?

Say it again!

We did it, we did it!

Incredible!

Hey!

Ouch, it hurts!

Ouch, you're hurting me!

Woman! The courtesy we return is a bit harsh.

So it's a scam, huh?

A wanderer and a pair of villains..

This is no kabuki play.

Shit!

Ouch!

That hurt!

Damn you!

You bastard!

You'll pay for this!

Damn you!

I saw you.

Sorry?

Playing shogi.

Were you watching that?

Yes. And the heroic part too

That's embarrassing

It seems like you're a fan of shogi.

For a woman... my father always scolds me.

Your play was brilliant, but..

the enemy only had one move.

One?

Which one?

The pawn from column 2, line 5

The pawn on file 2, line 5? oh

Where do you live?

Ahead

Behind Re nj aku cho.

In Re nj aku cho?

So, up until here.

Be careful going back.

Sorry...

My name is Ok in u

Tell me your name.

It's no big deal.

Autumn, year 13 of Tempo.

The most famous master of capture and detective.

Nikichi of Renjakicho's only daughter, Kanda.

Ok in u.

This was the beginning of a painful love

Oh... You're here, dad.

Yes. Didn't you see Mrs. Kazusa ya outside?

No, I didn't see her.

Where were you?

I'm sorry... I'll make something right away.

Hey!

Could it be

that you pretended to be an armed man, right?

If you keep doing that, you'll stay single.

It doesn't matter.

How could it not? You're already 22.

Ok in u. Yes.

Sit here, please.

You were hungry, right?

I said sit down.

Will you scold me?

No, is not that.

In fact...

It's about Kazusa ya.

What happened? - The thing is...

The day after tomorrow is his daughter's wedding.

Yes, I heard. You will welcome the groom, right?

Kazu say a's wife came to see me

to talk about it.

You see, Hana kawato of Dom you ya was attacked.

It's no wonder

they're making a fuss about it.

if there's a way to stop this Shooting Star.

And besides, I am indebted to Kazusa ya

Whatever happens...

Then...

Ok in u...

... I want to ask you a favor.

Understood.

Father...

I am the daughter of Nikichi of Renjakucho.

Even if it's not a command, I'll do it.

You want me to impersonate

Kazu say a's Okay o, right?

No matter how strong you are..

I've bothered you so much with that

and now asking you to do it is very strange, but...

this is also an obligation

Do you agree to do it?

Yes.

You will be risking your life.

It's a casual affair

but it involves my daughter.

Osato

Forgive me.

I'll do fine.

Looks like it has to do with scorpions.

They are poisonous insects

If one bites you, you will surely die.

Shooting Star.

That Shooting Star is the Scorpion.

Sorry?

I can't get it out of my mind

What?

Shooting Star.

Six years ago I sent him to prison.

Even though he was a thief.

he was not a criminal.

That's why his punishment was to be sent to Sado Island because

... he took money from criminals and gave it to people.

I heard that Shooting Star

was forgiven and now. lives free around these parts

But to do something so terrible?

It's something I can't believe.

People change

Maybe he turned bad when he was exiled.

Let's catch Shooting Star.

... you and me both, dad

In Shit aya Hiroko ji

around Kazusa ya

10 to 20 guards

were posted to keep watch

Soon it'll be the wedding night.

Yes.

Could we..

... brighten up the room more?

Hush.

Damn you!

Dammit.

Ok in u! Come back!

Ok in u!

That hurt!

It seems to be

... a woman.

Oh

You woke up

Excuse me.... It's better not to move.

There is nothing to worry about.

This is a boathouse in Sanya bori.

My name is Kira ku.

Then

You..

Did you help me?

The ones who brought you here..

They were my boatman and a freeloader.

Even though it looks good,

we almost changed your name to Do za em on.

Doesn't it hurt where you hit when you fell into the water?

Thank you very much.

And this kimono?

It's from an old lady..

Apologies.

This is the freeloader...

and he is my boatman.

I am Monpei.

It's been twice that he rescues me.

How could I thank you?

Listen.

Miss.

Even though he is more attractive, I am missing.

I jumped into the water.

Excuse me.

You are a fool, Mono ji.

No one is asking you to thank them.

- You say your name is Ok in u, right? - Right.

They must be worried at home.

I'll take the boat out...

Go home quickly

- Mon pei... - Yes.

Sorry

Your name?

My name?

Not important.

But - But her name is...

... Or iku.

Boss!

They're coming.

Looks like the ship is ready, A meta ro

Okay o!

Kazu say a's daughter, Okay o...

This cruel harassment.

Stop!

Go to that cosmetic store

and buy me powder and lipstick

Mention my name and tell them

I want the usual color crimson.

Yes.

Welcome!

That woman's face looked familiar to him.

Her alias was Ok aji of Benten,

who used to be a thief

I'm back.

Hey, you.

Take out what you have in your pocket.

At Ya kuo ji Temple

there is someone

who has lived half a year

away from everyone

You say that Shogi Valley..

Is it written on that paper?

Indeed.

I only took a look.

but on the cover..

... it said " Do ho Kai bar a "

Then... And the carrier of that document?

He has a house in a place called Ueno I keno hat a,

and it belongs to a woman named O kaji. But..

I have heard that she is the concubine of Torii Kai No Kami from Minami machi

Why is it...

... that the courtroom of the magistrate..

... wants to know about Shogi Valley?

My lady.

You have to speed up the search..

... of our twelfth shogun.

According to the elders

there might be a clue

I hope we find out where he is.

Starting tomorrow I'll walk as well.

Ku mote...

Don't leave Akemi alone.

For sure...

The elders and I will find him.

The Shooting Star that uses scorpions..

.. is he?

A boathouse in Sanya bori?

A meta ro is in a place called " Kira ku Shed ".

Very well.

We didn't realize that he was...

... the one who saved Ok in u at the time.

What shall we do with the elders of Shogi Valley?

In order to trick the enemy,. the granddaughter named Akemi

and two others hide in Ya kuo ji temple.

Until A meta ro is finished, I et them be.

Understood?

A meta ro...

writhe in pain and die!

Damn, this is not fun.

can't even catch one fish.

Stop complaining so much.

Doing this is a moment of peace in the world

Boss.

How will you behave from now on?

Well.

We'll see what happens.

Oh no

with such a carefree attitude..

Good for you, boss

You are the best at what you do.

You take up a knife and you become a chef,

you practice an art and you become an artist...

you'd be an ace if you lived off shogi...

You are good at everything

You draw, you write, you're good with your hands you have the arms, the balls...

- It's biting. - What?

-- I lied. - You're mean.

Woah..

Do you see it?

What? - If you fish...

Shut up. - The fish come, but I..

At best, I'm a boatman.

Even so...

I miss the old days when I was known as...

Mon pei, the fast.

Not being blamed and living like this..

It is better, no?

Is it?

I don't know what I'll do from now on.

But Mon pei...

Edo is very pretty.

Edo and the world. have become much more difficult to live in.

Not having seen Edo in six years...

and without seeing one town or another..

it makes you miss the stones on the side of the road.

The only thing I don't like is...

Someone who calls himself Shooting Star.

Yes, that.

You just returned from exile...

and, at the same time, Shooting Star uses scorpions.

That coincidence is not good

It really makes me angry.

Mon pei.

I have to catch him.

You are a good boatman.

Don't get involved.

You just returned from exile..

Moron. You can't keep calling me "boss."

- But.... - No more excuses

Don't interfere.

It's a promise

The following pages of the cover were torn out.

Suddenly, the letters appear.

" He finally came down from the mountain.

It took seven days to reach the town.

And ask the villagers about Shogi Valley

They all laughed.

They said that is nothing more than a legendary place.

Could Shogi Valley be an imaginary place?

No, I know it.

This valley is. southwest of Shinano.

Beyond the. Akai shiga take Mountains.

The guardians of the treasure of the mountain are there.

What tribe could they be from?

Shogi Valley..

You've heard of it, haven't you?

Yes..

Some rumors.

Read the cover.

Go uma, literature year seven...

Do ho Kai bar a.

It was 30 years ago.

It was when I was crazy about shogi

That Do ho Kai bar a wasn't much of a player, but..

Yeah, it was weird.

He traveled all over the country playing shogi.

And then he went crazy.

About Shogi Valley,

About the hidden village of Heike.

Saying all the inhabitants of the valley were experts in shogi....

Countless things, jewels, treasures...

He started saying nonsense things.

In the end.

He went back to Edo and they say he died on the street.

Really?

But could Shogi Valley be real?

don't know.

No one could find out.

But.

It couldn't be some fairy tale from another country.

I see it that way too, but..

Of course. It's in bad taste to leave something like that.

Why did O kaji Benten have this?

What?

Oh, right... I forgot to tell you.

What happened?

The person who rescued me...

His name is A meta ro

He lives in a boathouse name d Kiraku in Sanyabori.

He's a freeloader.

Is he a handsome man in his 30s?

What? That is.

A meta ro, whom I sent to prison six years ago.

He's Shooting Star

What are you saying?

Shooting Star!

A meta ro

Screw you!

Father..

Poor thing, right?

It was just the two of them.

Excuse me...

We're coming through

Boss..

How horrible!

Although it is a risky job...

will miss him.

Uncle San mai bashi...

Ok in u.

It's tough, but Master Nin kichi..

he is a famous courtier

who had a great death.

We shouldn't cry about it

Yes.

will a avenge my father.

will carry it out.

I, Kane shi chi, his brother...

I'll help you.

I won't let him get away with it.

The culprit is.

A metar o, a ka " Shooting Star "

I know where he's hiding.

Excuse me

Hello?

Where i s Ametaro?

We'll have to check upstairs

Hey, where did he go?

It won't go well for you if you lie

I do not know!

This man already told me.

I can't believe it!

A me taro is no killer

Could it be a mistake?

He killed him in front of me.

What could be more true?

saw it with my own eyes.

This Ame taro..

is a great thief known as Shooting Star.

Did you knowingly hide him?

With all due respect, boss..

Words like "great thief " or "hide'

It was six years ago! Was it not?

He's back from the island, so

he's already served his sentence.

If you say he's clean now..

Why would he have faced Master Niki chi?

He was resentful..

for having been sent to the island six years ago.

What nonsense.

I didn't do it

And even if assert that.

... people won't believe me.

It's a complicated situation, isn't it?

I wanted to live a quiet life

To prove your innocence

we must catch the one who uses the scorpions.

Hey, boss...

Let's do it

That man who died.

although I was a thief, he was never haughty.

To keep his name clean...

.. it's necessary to act

Indeed!

Stay out of this.

Again with that.

That's an order.

-- Mon pei... -What is it?

Be careful.

I did it!

Damn it!

Let's run away!

Hachi zo!

One day after. Niki c hi's week of mourning

a meeting is held

in Nihonbashi Horie Cho 1.

wholesaler shipping Ok uga was uji store Nagasaki y a Ichibe i,

and various police gathered from those areas to fortify the area.

do you think he'll show up, man?

Thanks for coming.

It's hard to say.

It's like a bet.

Hey..

A meta ro!

That demon mask is creepy.

I'll have to take it off.

Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!

He suddenly disappeared.

I think he's in this mansion.

What?

can't intervene there.

It's from the southern magistrate. Kai mon osama Torii.

What?

Good. Over there.

At your command.

The villa of Magistrate Yo hz o Tori.

Known as such throughout the world.

The fact is that O kaji lives in the compound.

The large garden shows the beauty of the forest.

The structure of the building is like a maze,

according to rumors.

If you already know. that people are consolidating

why are you doing something so risky again?

I have to give 500 or 1, 00o to the magistrate...

and carry on with the party in peace.

It's not that easy.

Clean me.

I think tonight was because of your mood.

The more dangerous it is,. the more you want to get out.

You have to know when you should and shouldn't..

You will not be able to return to the Shogi Valley mansion.

You won't be a shogi piece, but.

if you became the king of Shogi...

... I would be glad too.

Shogi Valley's..

.. king?

That day...

If my father had given me the throne.

I killed my father..

I was kicked out of the valley.

.. for ten years.

I promised to return to mine

as king of Shogi Valley.

I am the twelfth shogun!

By then, I will be too.

Stop there.

His Majesty is her e, yes?

Eh?

Then.

I'll go back to the hideout.

Who's there?

Who are you?

Do you know what the magistrate's villa is?

I'll call someone!

f I'm wrong..

am sorry.

By chance..

Are you O kaji?

Then you are...?

Wow!

You are the boss, Shooting Star.

am amazed.

A meta ro, chief..

What are you doing here?

They are chasing me

and I took refuge here.

Without a doubt, it's me.

Look at the tattoo.

I'm Okaji from Benten.

But.

... a lot of time has passed.

By the way, O kaji.

You've changed a lot.

Only my appearance is different.

It's incredible...

... that you are important to the magistrate

Oh no.

Don't say that

Apologies.

Since then..

Will it be seven years already?

Really? Has it been so long?

Could it be?

Back then...

... you rejected me many times

On the one hand the boss, Shooting Star

on the other, a purse snatcher.

I think you were a little out of my league.

was on the brink

I felt like dying.

Again you look for a distraction.

How annoying are you.

No, not at all.

It's not something we should talk about in this mansion..

If I get distracted.

... you will cut my head off.

You are the worst.

I need a favor.

What is it?

Outside, everything is guarded

and you can't get out

Do you know any way out?

I entered the house of the magistrate

and now it's strange that I'm asking you to let me go, isn't it?

Boss...

It's okay to let you go.

but you must promise me something.

A promise?

that you will come

to see me again.

Of course.

It's settled.

Of course.

Here.

Come in here when you come to see me.

Don't forget it.

O kaji!

Where are you?

It's settled, yes?

You go up here

and there are stairs...

They will take you to the roof.

Near, there is a forest of shrines

I know everything.

O kaji...

I know that.

... you're a man hunter.

What do you say?

I won't blame you for anything

Nor where..

. nor with whom...

... nor for what you do.

Because nature is nature.

What do you say?

Your Majesty..

Hey

you've done it with the Scorpion, haven't you?

What are you saying!

That's ludicrous.

Even so..

It's a strange fate, huh?

Being your distant relative.

I think it was a certain Kaiba ra, a shogi player...

where it is said that there was a hidden valley of people who knew shogi..

Whether true

Or false..

... 30 years have passed since his death.

And now I didn't expect to get involved

with the person who should be the head of the family

that was banished from Shogi Valley

Really

what kind of relationship did he have?

But.

that Shogi Valley

Where could it be?

What is the way to get there?

The Scorpion doesn't say so..

... until the time is right.

When's the time?

I do not know yet.

But.

Why does he only attack on the wedding night?

When it comes to happiness

he gets angry and can not control or bear it.

Nevertheless

It's the height of vigilance

How the hell does he get into the houses?

It is easy.

One of my henchmen, Tan izo, is a carpenter

and he prepares it beforehand.

I see.

Anyway

The Scorpion..

He couldn't get that far away from this underground cave of mine..

Some time...

surely, he will go

to Shogi Valley

We'll track him.

We will take the treasure...

and the rest of those in the valley...

. besides the Scorpion..

... we will kill them

Yoh zo Torii.

He was known as the " Spectrum of Tenpo "

It was the true identity. of the magistrate Minami cho.

Why the hell is the mansion surrounded? What happened?

Everyone, down to the last of you.

... will be severely punished!

Show yourselves!

Morons.

Break ranks already and go away!

A meta ro, Shooting Star

They are looking for you

It sounds like an excuse, Ok in u,

but it wasn't me.

Shut it!

This is for my dad.

In order to avenge him.

Ok in u..

There he is!

You're wanted! You're a wanted criminal!

You're wanted! Stop there!

A meta ro!

Do you remember me?

Sure, from San mai bashi

The Scorpion escaped from me, but now that you have fallen...

Stand still!

I don't know if I can stay still or die.

but we will find out.

What?

There is no way for you to escape : you are surrounded!

Stay still!

Get as far as you can.

If you get their hands on me

you won't get away with it.

Shut up!

You're wanted! You're wanted!

Extra! extra! A big fish fell in the hands of the beautiful detective!

She is from the Kanda ren raku cho office

As difficult as it was to catch the rogue Shooting Star,

she succeeded splendidly

and got her reward for his father.

Kaze taro...

Ku mote.

So long.

Akemi.

You have become a woman

and how small you were.

Look at that one.

They caught A meta ro.

He will soon be sent to Den macho and taken to the gallows..

That idiot.

A woman caught him

That's why I saved myself a lot of trouble

Miss Akemi.

We are Tobizo, Kakuzo and Tanizo.

We come for you.

Princess!

Dammit!

Princess!

Please run away!

Oh, Mon pei.

Mon pei?

Don't talk to me with such familiarly!

You're ungrateful and ruthless!

What do you say?

What did you hear!

How dare you?

Catch

the Bos s Ametaro.

Stop!

He might be your boss,

but he is my enemy.

What are you saying?

How dare you speak like that!

You don't even know how the boss feels...

Dammit!

You took advantage of the heart of a man in love.

The boss couldn't even tell you

just how in love he was!

Either he killed you or they caught him..

Dammit.

Surely that's what he thought.

Just thinking about how it must feel...

- He was my dad's enemy!

Shut up!

Don't mock him like that!

He's not someone who would do that!

Don't you understand?

But.

I saw it with my own eyes..

and there is also evidence

You seriously don't want to understand!

Aaah! Do what you want!

Wait...

If you defend him so much, I want to know something..

What?

On his sword..

... was there any recognizable branding or something?

A brand?

The sword that killed my dad.

You damn bitch!

The brand the boss uses

is not just any garbage.

It has " Kunihiro " engraved on it.

Kunihiro?

It's from " Honjo Kunihiro "!

The boss, for a long time.

. he has used nothing but Kunihiro

So what!

Hey...

I'm warning you..

If they hang the boss..

... you'll get in trouble!

" N ink ic hi's death.

it is unbecoming of A meta ro

Monk "

There is nothing!

It doesn't say " Kunihiro "

So that man is..

Father.

Please help me.

It seems a group is gathering

to retrieve A mataro

They even carry weapons

with the intention of attacking at all costs

We're after their movement.

If we're quicker,

We can get him to Den macho without staying in the magistrate's cells.

Sorry to bother you, but it's an urgent situation.

I wish to inform the magistrate,

which is why I have come here.

I understand.

I will inform the magistrate.

Wait a minute.

For a criminal to be sent to Den macho

the custom was that whoever captured him had to accompany him..

There must be more!

Be alert!

Understood.

What!

How did you lose him?

What nonsense!

This is a serious mistake!

Find them at any cost!

Understood.

It's you K isaku!

Head Chief.

Ku mote...

Ku mote!

Arriving here.

And Akemi?

With his last breath

He said "kidnapped "

Was it the Scorpion?

The Scorpion...

Looks like it was Kaze taro.

We'll introduce ourselves.

We are those...

.. who take care of Shogi Valley.. the Head Chief and the Chief of the navy.

Shogi Valley?

And you are..

You are the son of the eleventh grandmaster

of Shogi Valley : Lord Shogen Taira

Mr. A meta ro.

What?

Me?

Indeed.

Hogwash!

I have strong evidence.

Proof? What sort of proof?

You are the son of the eleventh generation.

No doubt.

Allow me...

No doubt!

What about it?

Kaza taro, the first son.

He has a tattoo on his left shoulder.

Clouds and a king

The second son.

On A meta ro's right shoulder,

waves and double king are tattooed..

Undoubtedly..

the chief of Shogi Valley.

Wait a minute.

grew up in the mountains.

I vaguely remember it.

Ever since I was a kid,

I've wondered why I had this here.

was wondering.

... if there would be some kind of genealogy related to shogi.

There was no one to teach me, but.

I had a natural talent

And it got better quickly.

After all, it is the result of your lineage.

No, no way it's me.

It's like I'm dreaming

But you are.

You said I have a brother.

Yes, but..

It's that Scorpion guy.

What kind of..

... demon could have bewitched him?

Kaze taro.

Since childhood he loved cruelty

First, they were animals

Then he intimidated and killed people

Seeing blood was his greatest passion.

Such bad behavior..

... led your father to deny him the governorship of Shogi Valley.

And when Kaze taro found out

he approached you

and decided to extend a hand to you.

A meta ro.

It happened when you were five years old.

The old man who served near you.

he wanted you to be. safe and he left the valley.

After a while

.. they found him dead.

They say A meta ro disappeared

I heard that I was abandoned.

The man who picked me up and saved me

He told me that.

That person..

He was a great thief named Shooting Star.

He was not a good person.

On the contrary.

Such a person raised me.

and I was also a thief

Shooting Star..

... never killed anyone.

I have never been unhappy.

I really had a good life

And the old man from Shogi Valley?

He was murdered.

Who did it?

Kaze taro.

How terrible!

My father Shooting Star..

He was born in paradise.

Here Shogi Valley..

It's not nice. The family is killing each other.

Mister A meta ro!

It's outrageous that my biological father

was killed by his own son.

Ten years ago

.. he was banished from Shogi Valley

for murdering your father

And, on top of everything. he calls himself Shooting Star.

It is a story to ponder.

He's trying to get my attention, right?

And Akemi, the kidnapped girl?

She's my granddaughter.

And all this time..

... she's has been looking for you.

Then...

that place where they took her..

I am the...

I am the twelfth monarch of Shogi Valley.

Akemi...

you will be the sacrifice of the Scorpion God.

I will eat you.

O kaji..

Don't stay there and get out immediately!

Watch and learn

Very well. Let's go.

Where to?

To the labyrinth mansion.

If it's too late for that..

. let's go to Shogi Valley.

It's the only way to attract that guy

Ok in u.

Mon pei.

Sorry! Sorry!

Sorry for saying all those things!

I heard you let the boss go.

I didn't know and because I was so upset, I..

Mon pei, raise your head, please.

Yes.

Can I pray?

I have a...

... message from Bos s Ametaro

- From A meta ro? Yes.

For now...

He can't come to see you,

I east of all because of what happened.

Maybe they will punish you.

But he will prove himself.

It's better..

... if you hide for a while

And he, too...

He's going away for a while.

to sort out some business.

Far?

I do not know either.

Was there someone like him?

No. I asked at each inn.

If he's not here, he'll surely come another way.

He'll come for sure.

What could have happened?

Akemi.

For generations,

the women who are born. in the house of the eldest chief,

they must marry the chief of the Valley.

It is a custom.

Akemi also knew this rule.

And the twelfth heir...

This is..

It was believed that..

... you'd would be him, A meta ro.

I hope she's alive.

m

... sorry.

Away from the Kosh u road

on the border between Shinano and Sur uga.

they walk on Mount Hi jiri dake

and follow the Toyama gawa River,

ten more valleys to the west of Hi jiri

following the machete marks on the trees.

And suddenly they have a clearer view.

There's something there!

O kaji.

Is she the magistrate's concubine?

The Scorpion did it.

She was a greedy woman, but I have known her for a long time

Let's bury her.

Look at this...

... beneath her head

I knew it was him.

It is said that the route

is the paths to the distant mountains,. and that they were the home of the demons.

It took about seven days

to get into the mountains.

After a long and arduous journey,

they finally saw it.

Is that?

Is it Shogi Valley?

What is this?

Heike no Myo..

gifted by the Imperial Court for generations.

It is the katana

that serves as an amulet for His Majesty.

Oh!

The twelfth generation of the king is welcomed,

And with the joy of the people

you see him represented here.

You have to do what is necessary

to carry out the succession ceremony

as soon as possible

And the Scorpion?

He has n't shown up here yet.

Therefore, let us use the time

for the succession ceremony.

In any case, they will kill..

As you say :

they are killing themselves right now.

Grandfather!

How dare you neglect me?

will be the twelfth successor.

Shut up!

What if they say they don't accept you?

will kill every one of them.

You are a terrible monster.

can't believe we come from the same womb.

As a child you were a nuisance.

I will kill you and be the successor!

That will not happen

What are you saying?

You have killed so many people..

... that you even murdered your father and now you will do the same to me.

How much more do you want to kill?

You are a filthy bastard.

Akemi!

Drop your katana!

Otherwise I will kill her.

Akemi!

Before dying.

wanted to see..

.. A meta ro..

... with my own eyes

Akemi.

You bastard!

You made me angry!

I am.

... the king..

... sho..

... gui.

Hereinafter..

I am the king of Shogi Valley.

I see.

Well, I sat down

But I feel like my butt's itching and I can't stay here..

I don't want to be king

Majesty...

Please

No, not at all.

It's not my place to do this.

I ask you to take care of the valley.

Do as you please.

How can you say that, Lord A meta ro?

It's useless for you to say it.

I'm asking you to take charge

No matter what you do, I won't complain.

If you can, take that mountain of treasures...

... and distribute it among the most needy

as the real Shooting Star did.

Yes? Yes?

Majesty!

Could it be?

Isn't that A meta ro?

- What? - Look...

-Where? - There.

Where? - Look...

Hello!

Boss!

You're okay.

Why are you dressed like that?

Well, you told me to stay with Ok in u.
