Gengo!

Wheres Gengo?

Wheres Gengo?

Didn't you see Gengo?

He was just in the yard

If you need anything, Ill take care of it

Its too much for you

Really

A waterway was clogged up

We must go to fix it

Princess Ito

even if he serves you, he is a warrior

The farmers should do it

And you are so dirty

What are you saying

After my father died, it's my mission to protect this country

If there is no water, the country will fall

My father got on his hands and knees to build this country

The people know that well

but the king was a man

You have your own way to govern a country as a princess

Just smile to the people like this?

That's right, princess

Then people can work without worries

Akane! Wheres Akane?

Im here

Leave the smiling to the beautiful Akane

The people trust her

It is because she is the superior oracle

What people love is the voice of god she brings

Princess!

There are a lot of princesses even among the farmers

All of them are covered with soil to help their parents

No, Princess!

Gengo? Gengo!

Anyone!

Can anyone hear me?

...we can't

Gengo...

Princess Ito!

Good timing!

I was just going to go back to take the hoe

You are always one step ahead of me

It doesn't matter

I had thought you would order me to do this

so I started beforehand

Pass it to me

No way! This is my tool!

Change!

Oh, no! No, princess!

Please stop it! Princess!

Ill be scolded

No, Don ‘ttouch me!

It's dangerous! Princess! Please!

Princess! Stop!

Lady Akane

Do you feel something?

Lady Akane!

Please save the Princess

What? Akane?

What are you doing?

Princess Ito

The wind is noisy tonight somehow Im scared

Please let me stay with you

You scare me! Akane

So warm! and the good smell of the princess

Dont do that! Youre being weird

Princess Ito!

Go out through the back yard, to the mountains!

Princess Ito!

He is Teruaki Uzu

Once he served the King with me

But he was so vicious that he was banished

a cowardly night attack

All of us...

You are the only one to inherit the blood line

They will notice that she is not the Princess soon

Run away as far as possible!

Gengo?

Are you hurt?

Gengo!!

Gengo!!

Gengo!!

Oh! Princess Ito!

I havent seen you since you were a baby

you look just like the King

Uzu Teruaki!!

Teruaki

Im your opponent

I have survived on eating grass and wild beasts

and you are just a babysitter

The game is over now

But as an old friend

Ill be the one

to end you

Gengo!!!!!

Kill me!

Kill me!

Kill me!!!

We need not to kill you Ive got this country already

But it is the farmers that will be a nuisance

We must have them work hard from now on

So, Princess Ito

a man still has use for a woman

No! stop it!

Stop it!

Stop! stop it!

Bear my child, Ito

Then Ill let you remain as the princess!

Stop it!

Princess...

Princess Ito...

Now is the time...

to place a curse...

for 1000 years

Teruaki Uzu!!!

Your rotten blood...

will never mix with my blood

Never!!!

This blood will continue flowing for

1000 years

from generation to...

how bothersome

Burn down everything

Now the festival!

Begin the festival!!!

Princess...

Princess Ito...

Princess Ito...

Ill start cooking

Ouch!

Whereve you been?

Im sorry

I started feeling a bit sick on my way home

Will you hit me?

"Sir?"

"Sir, are you listening?"

Sorry, I was just thinking

"So how much should we sell it for?"

...around 30,000?

"Thats too expensive"

then... 5000 yen?

"Thats too drastic"

then...

Ill leave it up to you, Akane, to decide

"I cant"

Its just that to me it only looks like a blue box

"Its red."

sorry

I cant even tell that it's red

and you like antiques

so I thought itd be better if you decided its value, right?

Ms. Akane?

"Lets keep it at 12500 minimum and the starting price be at 15000 yen"

"Would that be alright?"

yes, of course

Thanks

"By the way,sir"

"what time will you be coming in?"

around noon I think I can go

"As I mentioned before"

"I think we should label all the products"

The price label value?

On all the products?

"Yes"

"itll be easier for customers"

"rather than waiting for you to consult prices"

Thats true

but today?

"Yes"

We dont need to rush

its not like any customers are going to come

"I dont want to say it"

"Its just that our store is unwelcoming"

Price tag...

Alright

arted thenand I'll try to get there as soon as possible

"Please"

Well, Thanks

Mr. Teruaki!

Good morning, mother

Lets have a little talk

Im sorry but Ms.Akane needs me down at the store

Have a seat!

Yes

Tatsuko, could you bring a cup of tea?

"In a moment! ma'am"

Thank you

What did Ms.Akane say?

She said We should label our products

Of course

Yes, she is right

so today were going to start

She really works well

You are right

And?

Yes?

What about you?

Me?

When are you going to start working properly?

Uh, well I'm working as the dealer...

A dealer in antiques is

finding things more valuable than the public

and stock them, sell them

It is such a business

Yes

All the things in that shop are things you took from our warehouse

Yes, almost

Thats not a business

but just house cleaning

But we have made some sales...

Sales! If there are

It is because of our ancestors and Akane's hard work

It is not your work

No, I choose the valuable thing for me from a warehouse

Then

You already know it

Valuable things are not left there anymore

Teruaki

Yes

Our ancestors are from a prestigious family of 1000 years

Because of our ancestors, we have what we have now

You completely ran through our ancestor's things

and you are going to end it all with this?

No...

I dont think so

No

then I am still good

But Teruaki

After you go through it all, it will not last until you die

And you never show signs to marry

Why not just marry Akane?

She will dominate me

All couples are better off that way

Same as Father...

What?

No...

nothing

H.e.l.l.o!

Coming!

Oh Mr. Suematsu, welcome

Oh,no! It's not the mascot of this store

Too bad its just me!

What would you like today?

Just the salmon bento will do for me

And some spinach

Coming up

And hows Ito-chan?

She called in saying she wasnt feeling well

but she should be here soon

Again...

Do you think its happening again?

Probably

Probably?

Thats a little cold

Theres nothing I can do

even if I ask she says everything is fine

But still...

dont you think lately its been getting worse?

It is

Here you go, thatll be 580 yen

Thanks

but dont you think its time to go to the police about this?

I already tried

but she just said laughingly it was her dog

A dog?

Yes

parently her pet doghas been getting bigger

She is drawn down sometimes

No way

I know

but what else are we to do if she says so

Im sorry for being late!

Oh,Mr.Suematsu!

Thank you for always coming by

Ah, um, Ito-chan

What did you decide to get today?

Oh the salmon bento!

Hey, Ito-chan

even Mr.Suematsu was worried about you

This is nothing

My P-chans been getting so big that when I was walking him

he just pulled me and I ended up losing control

Its been a problem

Ill go check the inventory, it hasnt been done yet right?

P-chan

Are you busy?

It wont take that much time

No

I think it will

Then, a bento please

Well, young master Teruaki!

What a surprise!

Aunt Chizuko!

It has been long time

Do you know each other?

Oh, Ito -chan Is it first timeto see him?

Yes

the great descendant of the feudal lord of this UZU-town

UZU TERUAKI, young master!

Please dont call me young master

Nowadays I hold a small antique shop

Teruaki Uzu of Uzu town

Yes,his name is a Teruaki too

Teruaki is the name of founder of UZU

Father gave you a great name

we can all see the greatness of him

Even though Im just idling my life away at a small shop

My mother cries

No, it is excellent work

Its just like my mother said

Is she concerned about something?

Its just that...

everything in this store is from my familywarehouse

I know

Its a reminder that someone in my family

a sign that my ancestors throughout history worked hard

This one

also this beautiful plate

it could have been part of a celebration

or struggled to obtain

I'm sorry that now Im just selling

without considering thanking my ancestors

At least

feeling the spirit of my ancestors

I must appreciate them

But then again

I hardly know anything about them

Someone said my ancestor was...

We should close shop now

But you said we should finish

Im sorry

its just Im exhausted

and sir, with you here things should go smoothly tomorrow

Yes

It was getting interesting a little

a little?

Well um well

Just now?

Im terribly sorry

We should close shop for now

Let'do that tomorrow then

Master!

Yes sir!

Is there something wrong?

Ill walk you home

Mr.Tokita!

Good morning sir

What happened to your face?

I just fell down

Please wait a moment

Chizuko-san!

Mr.Tokita is here from the head office!

Oh! Mr.Tokita

please this way

And the fried food?

Yes

ore elderly peoplewho prefer fish over meat

True

compared to our other stores this area sells less fried chicken

Oh really

Lets try less salt

yes good idea

By the way

Yes?

That girl

She's Ito-chan

Shes such a hard working girl

Shes the mascot of this store

A very shabby mascot!

Oh that, oh well

you see her pet dog has just gotten too big for her

sometimes she gets dragged, poor thing

When I came to check things last month, it was the same thing

What?

We are in the food industry you know

I know...

Coming

Professor Tajima?

Yes

Howve you been?

Yes

Ive been doing well

Then

I apologize for that time

Its not a problem

wondering if...

You too?

Yes

On my own

Ive understood my clans fate

Lady Akane

Please dont call me "Lady"

Hes not here now

but this is UZU's shop

I was so careless

Forgive me, please

Yes

Professor

Too much! Please stop it

I was just a farmer then

Such as...

Yes

Of course

All the people of our clan are

with the Princess

She will feel stouthearted

But...

what are we supposed to do?

Pray

and watch

when the time will come we'll join at our mansion

and just watch over her

I am in the same fate as you

But

Why I'm here is

to help the Princess

get closer to UZU

And the princess?

A few days ago

I saw her once

but most likely she hasnt noticed anything

I see

Ms.Akane?

Yes

After all of this

What will become of us?

What?

I gave up studying and I came here like you

If I can, I hope to continue my study again with you

even I do not know the answer to that

If we will keep living on

or if our souls will disappear

or even our very existence

I see

It was a stupid question

Just now

the wishes of the whole clan

the wishes of the whole clan

That's all for today

Alright, boss

Good job, Gengo

"The 1000 year anniversary"

Gengo-sama

aren't you?

You are...

Yes,sir

It is I, Jukichi

Even you

Of course!

We share

the same wishes

Your entire family?

No

not exactly

Did you leave your family?

For the...

Just for our fate

Destiny

Nonsense

Well...

Its true

Its true, I cannot do anything

But I'm revived for...

Lower your voice!

Your daughter?

I have also...

an older son

to bring them both for my wife

it wasnt possible

Then is she unrelated to us?

Yes

I was also single at that time

Go back home

Excuse me?

Take your daughter home and return to your normal life

What are you saying!

Our 1000 years...

I dont need someone like you around

it wouldnt change anything

Good evening!

Oh hello Mr.UZU, welcome

Are you opening?

Yes

Will two deluxe bentos be alright?

Could you make it extra delux to one of them please?

are you working late again?

Yes

its my fault really

Actually an antique is so hard to understand

I'm often scolded

Ill just add a few extra fried chicken then

thatll be nice!

Ill pay the extra amount

Dont worry, were closing anyway

Thank you

thank you for always coming!

Ito-chan!

Yes!

we should close now

Alright!

Im so sorry, but were closing

Were going home

okay

Thanks for taking care of Ito I am...

Mrs. Chizuko...

That customer

What?

The last that came today

Mr. Uzu

Uzu?

Teruaki...

Yeah...

the owner of the antique shop

Dont ever talk to him again

But hes just a customer

DONT EVER!

It's The 1000 year anniversary

So, the head family should dedicate greater

You do not have to speak in such broadness

Mrs.Uzu always think properly

You are coarse

Oh sorry

But I the merchants are like this

All you have to do is to smile in front of the God

Then Money is just thrown into the box

Its easy business,isn't it?

I'll be angry

If it is so easy I dont come here to ask for a donation

Thats right

So Mrs.Uzu

Please help us

Everyone here refers to us as head family

We've never collected from the people

Please don't decide that we are rich

Regardless the head family is the head family

Because it is not for your family only

but it is also for this town

You should realize it

Please...

Shall I bring another tea?

No its fine

Oh my, Tatsuko!

what a lovely sweater

Oh,no

You gave it to me maam!

Is it?

Yes, it is!

You said thatit's someone's gift but you won't use it

Oh what a loss

but it suits you better

Thank you so much

but Im not giving it back

It wouldnt be like me to ask

but western clothes are comfortable

At my age its hard to keep wearing kimono

No, Kimonos suit you the most maam!

No! Comfort is the first

Oh,Tatsuko

Take out all my obi and kimono from the closet

What?

And chose one for yourself as a gift from me

Maam youre not thinking of

Call the antique kimino dealer and have him look

Im sure we can sell my kimonos for quite a price

Please re-think this maam

Im asking you

Good morning!

Good morning!

Soon for the festival!

I feel so happy today

Mrs. Chizuko!

Ito-chan...

Ill just wash this again

Ito-chan!!

Remember when

Mr. Tokita came from the head office

and he said we are in the food industry

at the time I covered up for you

but you come in looking like that now

I just cant!

Thank you for everything

What are you saying?

No, I don't mean it

No, no, Ito-chan no you cant just quit!

Im terribly sorry

for all the disturbances I caused, Im sorry

No...

What are you saying?

Thank you for everything

wait...

Wait, Ito-chan!

Why do you look at me with such a fierce gaze?

No Im not watching you

We are in favor for the Uzu family for several generations

Actually There is a deeper fate than you

Im not trying a trick or anything

Im just thinking of how the Mrs.must feel

I know...

Its not rare

So many people sell their kimonos

because it's become rare to wear kimonos and they're bulky

Now I know those kimonos have not been dead stocks

but madam always wears the kimonos properly

they are pleased to be worn by her

So..

which one will it be?

Sorry?

You are going to be taking one home, right?

well I really dont know anything about kimonos

well...

What are you watching for?

I'm just...

Its alright

just chose the one that calls to you

Whether it be expensive or not

the one you pick will be the right fit for you

Please

Then this one

Oh, my...

What?

You might have an extraordinary eye

expensive?

Madam!

Good afternoon

For our festival

Thanks a lot

But people are irresponsible

What?

People of various religions

or do not have even the faith

gather at this Shinto shrine

only at the time of children's Ceremony, Festival,

and New Years day

Thats OK

Why?

Buddhism, Islam, Christianity

each words and manners, the names of God are different

but what all of us pray is the same unexpectedly

even the person who does not believe in a special God

sometimes they look up at the sky or the mountains

and they pray somewhere

For family security, the great desire of accomplishment

and daily peace

May not there be a place and time that anyone is heard all together?

I do not know whether he is small or big

whether he is near or far away

but God is connected with each one directly

I see

We will help a little for that time and place

Thank you again

Although this is likely to be the last time

Please dont say such things

1000 years, it's been

I know

It should not matter anymore

family lineage, blood lines we do not need to rely on such manners

Time will move on and on

And...

And what?

It must end, someone make it end

then I feel such things

you do look very elegant in these western clothes

You think so?

I was afraid I would be sad a little

but I'm feeling breezy!

Breezy! is it?

Yes, it is breezy!

Itll be the festival

Yes, our festival

Good evening

young master Uzu

Well...

what do you...

I always get the deluxe

My staff says I should change things up sometime

Do you have any recommendations?

You have to choose by yourself

True, thats true

Is Ito-chan not here today?

she has a day off today

I see

Itll be the festival

Yes

It must be quite busy at the Uzu home then

Ah well yes

but my mother takes care of everything

I cant really

I couldnt protect her

Excuse me?

I couldnt protect her!

Damn it!!

Mrs.Chizuko?

Ouch

Welcome back

did you find anything nice?

Ms. Akane

this is the lady from the bento store shes hurt

and I was hoping you could care too

Please, this way

Col... ouch

Well...

What should I do?

its nothing, Im sorry

You cant do anything

What?

Eyes are weak

Arms without strength

People try to find a way out of deep trouble

but your damaged heart will never find the answer

Your wounded body doesn't have any power remaining

if you try to do something

So there's nothing you can do now

no matter how much you think

Its too late

No

the time will come

But

before you think

before you stand up

you must regain your power

In your heart

and body

The power is the first

Even if you might have

negative power

Even if...

strong anger

What?

The anger causes your blood to boil

It'll make your body stir up

and keep your soul strong

with the soul and a body

ascertain your way

But I cant

such a...

For example

deep hatred

What?

hatred?

I have been waiting for you, for a long long time

Ito-sama!

Me?

I see you still have not noticed

Is it?

This belongs to you

What is it?

Soon the time will come

The time?

Yes

You will know if the time comes

open it then

May I come in?

Yes, its alright

I...

I'm...

tonight

I ask nothing

But

please be here tonight

What?

No

Ill go back to my home

Anyway

please make yourself comfortable here

No, but

Mrs.Chizuko was

crying

Saying she couldnt protect you

she cried

So I cannot let you go home

by all means

Im sorry

but...

Yes

It is between you and him

Even I cannot protect you

So

Until your heart calms down

and you can see the way

please be here

Please ask Akane anything about here

She knows much more than me

Sir

I am sorry at such a time

but I want to quit working here now

What?

I finished writing all the stock books

I had actually been thinking about quitting from before

No...

thats troublesome

I want to study again at university

and I'm going to go back to Tokyo

I understand it

there is nothing I can do

Thank you so much sir

I will be leaving then

What?

Now?

Im not good

with good byes

Thanks for everything

Wait a moment!

Ito-chan

Yes

Are you looking for a job?

Well, yes

Why?

Why do you do such a cruel thing?

The Time is coming

Umm...

Its around here

Are you all right?

Yes

Thank you very much

Sure...

Im sure I will talk to him

Good

Try that

Im home

I said not to get closer

I...

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!!

I'm sorry!!

I'm sorry!!

Run away

Hurry up!!

Are you OK?

Yes

but...I..

how do I...

I'm sorry!!

I'm sorry!!

sorry

sorry

Hey!

Hurry!

Hey!

What is it?

Akane-san told me to open it when the time comes

Whats in it?

I don't know

But she said it was mine

A dagger?

Move back!!

Damn you

Why you!!

What?

Why do you hurt her?

Though she was not tied or imprisoned

she was still with you

She still has some reason to care for you

However...

though its you!

Dont talk about things as if you know-it-all

Otherwise it is fear!

You hang her neck with an invisible chain

Humans can't do such a thing

You must be a devil!!

Shut up

Ouch...

Oh, the pain...

Ito-chan has been getting this kind of treatment

poor girl...

she had been scared

I cannot forgive you

Ill never forgive you!

None of your business

No...

Ill protect her

Protect?

by any means!

How?

Ill protect her!

Shut up

protect her! protect her! protect her!

You know

We have our own way

You know nothing about us

Dont stick your nose into our business!

Ill protect her, protect her...

Say, as you like

Ito-chan?

No,Ito-chan

Dont do that

Ito...

Stop!

I will...

I will protect you!

So you...

what?

Go to Hell

Why you...

Why do you stop me?

Gengo!

Gengo!!!

Princes Ito...

Gengo

you know that...

Who this guy is

Princess Ito!!

Please put an end

What?

What did you say?

1000 years

we've both been waiting for this time!

You too, right?

Yes

I have always been at your side

You have been a devil to me but...

I was reliable and thought of you

and always took it as it is

Was all of that for this moment?

Just for this moment wasn't it?

I had to suppress the princess to channel her anger into a monster

There was no other way

You mean

you had contained me?

What?

What are you talking about?

Ito-chan?

Teruaki Uzu

Will you say

you know nothing?

Princess!

No wonder it is

They were living peacefully

after having taken the land away from us

and ended their happy life

So

There was nothing left to do but leave things in its course

You bastard! Teruaki Uzu!

Princess Ito!!

You've been waiting for 1000 years just for this purpose

It is a road to damnation

if it is accomplished now

you can never return

Princess Ito has become...

You have become a monster

I cannot

I cannot give up and allow for this to happen!!

Be quiet!

Be quiet Gengo!!

Are you still a man?

Are you a warrior of my clan?

I AM a man!

for 1000 years...

I stayed by your side to support you

I am a man!!

Are you...

Are you telling me to forgive Uzu?

Gengo?

It's impossible

Then, Why?

Forgiving or not forgiving is for them

now...

It's only for us

Only for our clan

this hatred

Let's leave this hatred behind

Leave it behind?

This?

Princess Ito

For as long as you continue having this hatred

All the souls of our clan

will continue wandering

to the depths of hell

If now here

even if we are able to achieve this hatred

into the next 1000 years

Well carry this hatred on our backs this time

and we have to escape and will wander

This is a road to damnation Princess Ito

Once again

Once again

by yourself

You must kill the devil inside of you

with me Gengo

with the soul of our clan

Could you please come to heaven's road

You won't...

beat me anymore?

Never

Gengo

Now

Lets go back

"Princess Ito killed herself with the damned words of a 1000 year curse"

"The Uzu clan"
