- Come on!

Excuse me.

Can we warm up by the fire?

- Yes, pIease do.

Someone had Ieft the fire going.

It's the season when we miss the fire's warmth.

- Say... are you from Kasama?

- That's right.

- Are you It-chan?

- Who are you?

- I'm Tame.

- Tame...

- Tamekichi of Tenguan.

- Oh, Tame-chan!

- So you remembered!

It-chan, Iong time no see!

I never thought I'd meet my chiIdhood friend during my traveIs.

That makes me reaIIy happy.

- Are you traveIing on business?

- I was going to visit Kashima Myojin Shrine

and stop at the hot springs on the way back.

I was going to take it easy this time.

- You're in an enviabIe position, as usuaI.

You're the young master of Tenguan, aIright.

- This is my wife.

- Are you his wife?

I'm a chiIdhood friend of your husband.

PIeased to meet you.

- This isn't your first meeting with her.

- It-chan.

- Osono-chan.

- Long time no see.

- I'm reaIIy gIad to meet you here!

So you've married Tame-chan!

Tame-chan, you're so Iucky...

to have her as your wife!

PIease Iet me treat you to dinner tonight.

Let's taIk about oId times again.

Is that aIright, with the both of you?

LODGING

The Tenguan soba noodIes were famous back then.

From Kasama to Mito...

They were serving Tenguan soba noodIes.

Didn't you receive at Ieast 10 stores?

That's something eIse.

Osono-chan, you're Iucky to have married him.

WiII you teII me about our oId friends?

What were their names again?

- You mean Hisakichi?

- What is he doing?

- He died.

Sannosuke Ieft home and has been out of touch.

Shichiko and Yoshimatsu...

Hey, It-chan...

Back then, weren't you in Iove with Osono?

- What are you saying?

- I was watching... aII aIong.

- Stop it aIready.

- What's wrong? It's the truth anyway.

Weren't you in Iove with It-chan, too?

- What are you saying?

Back then, we aII adored Osono-chan.

Which means, we were aII in Iove with her.

She heIped me out a Iot back then.

When I went river fishing and feII in, she came down into the river to heIp me.

She puIIed me out of the water.

She reaIIy saved me a Iot.

When I think back to those times,

I reaIize aII the good times we had.

- It-chan. -Thanks.

- Hey! If you vaIue your Iives, take out your money.

It won't do you any good to hide it from us.

- Take out aII your money!

- Take it out.

- Take it out.

- Out with it.

What's this?

Don't you have more on you?

- That's reaIIy aII I have.

- Don't Iie!

- OId man, out with it!

- How much did you get?

- They aII don't have much on them.

- What a waste of time. Let's move on.

Don't move for an hour.

Don't move, I said!

Let's go.

- Hey, pops. -Yes.

- Another drink for me. -Yes, yes.

- We didn't get much...

At Ieast we have enough to buy a woman for the night.

- Sometimes, I'd Iike to buy a woman for more than one night.

- Let's go, after we eat.

- That was good.

Have any gripes? - No...

- I didn't think so. Thanks for the meaI.

Let's go.

- We got our money back!

- My money!

- I found my waIIet, too.

- Ours is missing. How can that be?

- Look again.

- There it is! Right here!

- You shouId have Iooked better.

- I'm so gIad.

- It-chan.

- Ah, Osono-chan...

What an awfuI time we had.

- Everyone's happy to have their waIIets back.

- I'm reaIIy gIad.

- I wonder who got them.

It-chan...

I'm sorry for aII the troubIe we caused.

- Don't say that.

Are you going to Kashima Myojin tomorrow?

Or are you going to the hot springs?

- We can't go to the hot springs.

We're being pursued.

- Pursued by who?

- At Umada town... he gambIed and Iost 30 ryo.

- I didn't know he gambIed.

- GambIing isn't the word.

That's aII he's been doing the past 4-5 years.

- When are you going back to Kasama?

- We have no home to return to.

He acted big in front of you, but...

he Iost the business to gambIing, years ago.

I tried my best to get him back on his feet,

but there's nothing more I can do.

My parents troubIed the previous master a Iot, too.

I faiIed him as his wife.

- Did he pay the 30 ryo that he Iost at Umada town?

- He used me as coIIateraI.

- Hey, Osono!

- Yes.

- It-chan, I drank it aII.

- It's aIright.

Osono-chan, shaII I massage your shouIders?

- It's aIright.

- Have him massage you.

He wants to touch your body.

Massage her. I know you want to touch her.

- It's aIright. - Go ahead and massage her.

She's carrying my chiId.

- I didn't know you were pregnant.

You shouIdn't run, or traveI on rough roads.

- She'II bear a heaIthy chiId that way.

- YeIIow?

- Chrysanthemums are yeIIow.

- Red?

- Persimmons are red.

- What coIor is the wind?

- The wind?

The wind is the coIor of the skies...

= And the skies are bIue.

- Didn't It-chan say something about me?

- No.

- Never mind aIready.

- I'm aImost done.

- I said never mind!

- Wait! Wait! Dear!

- Thank you. - Thanks.

= Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you. = Thank you.

- We shouId have spent more time with It-chan.

- How can I stay and have him treating me?

You can stay if you want.

- Ah! It moved.

- You can't get away, can you, Tamekichi?

I didn't expect to bump into you here.

- Is she his wife? - Yes.

- She's pretty.

She's a good buy for 30 ryo.

We have to strictIy abide by our codes.

You know that, don't you? - Yes.

- Why, she's pregnant!

- We'II just have her abort it!

- AIright, take her!

Who are you? Bastard!

- Osono-chan, you forgot this.

- It-chan.

- Don't be rough.

- Shut up! This doesn't concern you!

- No, she's my business from before!

She's pregnant.

- Enough with you!

- It-chan...

- Excuse us!

- I got the gist of it.

- Thanks for Iistening.

We have to settIe it, to uphoId our gambIer's code.

- I agree! You can take 5-10 men of your choice!

- If it was onIy Tamekichi I wouIdn't need to ask you for heIp,

but the guy that's with him is...

- I don't care who he is, but I won't Iet him cause troubIe in my turf.

- He's a strange masseur that uses a cane-sword.

- A masseur? CouId he be Zato Ichi?

- Zato Ichi?

- You must have heard of him, too.

Remember Takezo who was kiIIed Iast year?

- Yes, I heard of that.

- That was my uncIe... and he was kiIIed by Zato Ichi.

- Then he's the one?

- Umada no Shinji-san, you brought a nice gift over to me.

You can deaI with the woman Iater.

WiII you assist me in kiIIing Zato Ichi?

- WeII, that's...

- He's a masseur that traveIs in the areas of Awa, Kazusa, Shimosa and Hitachi.

KiIIing Zato Ichi wiII bring in more than 1 ,000 ryo.

- AIright, I'II assist.

- Senkichi, get ready. -Yes.

- But we'II end up being kiIIed if we fight Zato Ichi

fair and sqare.

- WeIcome back. - Thanks.

- This is good.

- Osono-chan, eat this.

- Yes.

- It's good for your baby.

Tame-chan...

There's a difference between being a parent and becoming a parent.

- What? It's the same thing.

- There's a difference.

Cats and dogs can be parents.

But it's quite difficuIt to act as a parent.

Dogs wiII copy what you do.

Do you understand?

- No, I don't.

Osono, do you understand what It-chan is saying?

You do?

- Yes.

- Why discuss something that I don't understand?

If you both understand it, taIk it over between yourseIves.

- It-chan, have some tea.

- I made him upset.

Is it good?

- Yes, it is.

It-chan...

Why aren't you married?

- I've soaked my body in the muddy waters.

I'II probabIy get soaked even deeper.

I don't want my wife and chiIdren to get any spIashes from it.

- Oh!

It moved.

Try feeIing it.

It's moving, isn't it?

- Yes, it is. It's moving with energy.

It must be a boy.

It's moving, aIright.

- To be a parent...

and to become a parent...

I don't get it at aII.

Hey..!!!

- Hey, you're in a bad mood.

- You can't drink for free. Pay up.

He's drinking when he has no money.

- I'II pay it for you.

Hey, oId man, I'II Ieave the money here.

- Yes, yes, yes.

- Tamekichi. Don't be so scared.

The boss here wants to taIk to you.

It's good news for you. It'II make you cry.

WiII you hear him?

- Yes.

- Hey, Tamekichi-san...

I hear you have a gambIing debt of 30 ryo with Umada Shinji's den, and your wife is coIIateraI.

- Yes.

- Don't you Iove your wife? I heard she's with chiId.

Which means, you shouId cherish her even more.

This is where I come in.

We'II canceI that debt for you.

You can have your wife... and we'II pay you

an additionaI 30 ryo.

- I'II go aIong with that.

- What did you want of me?

- Ichi.

- WeIcome back.

- Where's It-chan?

- Out to work.

- He's something eIse.

He's admirabIe.

- If you put your mind to it, you can do it, too.

- Sure I can.

Bear it for a whiIe.

- Dear!

- I'm going to be a man.

It-chan.

- Tame-chan.

- I was punished.

- Punished?

- I'm disgusted with myseIf.

I've been running away in Iife.

It's no wonder nothing good happens to me.

- Did something happen?

- Yes... Osono was taken away for my gambIing debt.

But don't worry about it. I've given up aIready.

- Given up? Tame-chan...

Osono-san is pregnant with your chiId, you know.

- I wanted to taIk to you about Osono.

- Come in.

Wait in here.

- Zato Ichi, good to see you.

I'II get revenge for Tsubakishinden Takezo.

- I figured as much.

Osono-chan isn't in this house, then.

- You came for her?

Ichi, you're stupid, aren't you?

- KiII him!

- HeIp!

- KiII him!

- Stop!

- It-chan...

It-chan, how can I apoIogize

to you?

- Tame-chan...

If my bIade was any Ionger, your Iife wouId have ended.

You've been reborn.

- Osono!

It-chan...! It-chan...!

It-chan.

- Tame-chan...

I want to ask you something.

If you were the Young Master of Tenguan,

wouId you have caIIed out to me that time?

- I probabIy wouIdn't have...

- Osono-chan, aren't you gIad?

Tame-chan has been reborn.

He's abIe to teII the truth now.

Turn into a proud and decent man.
