After the Rain Page #4

It already happened...

Yes, but this time, the lord is

a whole different class all together.

Of course,

I can't be sure...

but I really believe that,

this time,

I can have faith in him.

I would like to believe that too.

Do you want some more sake,

or do you want your dinner?

Right... I almost forgot...

I should eat a little.

I'll be back in a while.

What a nice day!

We need a clear sky.

For if we want to go over the hill

where it rains a lot,

we need to cross the river

on a day like today.

Are you leaving?

No... I'm just...

going for some air.

Hello! It's a nice day.

A fabulous and blessed day.

I pray for the happiness of you

and your wife!

Concerning the weather,

nothing to tell...

We should get some news today.

We can't leave without

saying something.

That's true.

That doesn't withhold me of

preparing everything, in case of...

Naturally. We'll have to get out

of here by all means possible.

There they are!

You are an exceptional fire-eater.

Your skill is without equal

and your confidence unsurpassable.

His Holiness intensely wishes to name

you master of arms...

No... Your offers are excessive.

I don't deserve them.

However every time,

despite a small setback,

The decision is made to recruit

you...

an unexpected problem emerges.

This problem is not of our making.

It's entirely yours.

You anticipated in duels.

You fought for money,

in the city dojo...

which you took after you won.

You must remember...

It's true. I do remember.

I remember but...

It was for people really,

sincerely in need,

Boarders of this inn.

Whatever the reason,

for a warrior, it's the ultimate

dishonor,

fighting for money.

Besides, because there was a

complaint,

custom wants it that the fief breaks all

ties with the responsible.

With great regret,

you must forget our job offer.

His Holiness has asked me

to give you this money to

contribute to your expenses on the road.

But no, I didn't know...

Don't worry about me.

I have already been...

Please...

But of course.

We accept with recognition.

My husband was wrong to participate

in those fights.

For a long time,

I've been begging him

to stop doing that.

However, I see that I'm wrong.

I have just understood.

My husband knows, for sure,

the dishonor connected with those duels.

Yet knowing this, he still participates.

There are times when he

has no choice.

But I understand now.

The important thing,

is not what he does

but why he does it, isn't it?

Can't dummies like you

understand that?

Stop it, Tayo. Let's not be impolite.

Right, I'll stop.

However...

I have something to tell you.

From now on,

Every time it seems justified...

participate in duels

when by doing this, you'll be able...

to help the poor, the weak and

the miserable

find a little happiness.

Madam...

Take this with you.

Whenever your sandals

are hurting you...

it's tobacco-ashes.

with some saliva, it's works nicely.

It's not that great...

But it is, it's very nice of you.

Thank you very much.

And to say that they despise

a master as yourself!

That lord is nothing but

parade-carp!

What?

It may look like a carp,

but it's empty on the inside.

Don't say that.

The lord of this fief

is a good lord.

To say the truth...

I really thought that it was

a place where I could have served.

And his wife said that the important

thing was not what he had done

but why he had done it.

Right?

Yes, that's right.

And then...

'Can't dummies like you

understand that?'

You, what did you answer?

Huh?

You blunt mule-face!

Bring this man to me!

Otherwise, I'll have you cut into pieces

and fed to the carps of the pond.

But you allowed him to discharge himself.

Can't I ask you anything,

you retard!

My horse!

You're a beautiful human being

without equal,

You don't know whether to open up,

that's strange, isn't it?

but for me, it's alright that way,

you don't push people aside

nor do you take their place.

If the opportunity arrives,

you help the sincere, even the poor,

find happiness and hope,

whichever way you are, you are fabulous,

I've sweat a great deal.

It's alright, let's go.

I've put aside my regrets.

Take courage!

I have plenty of it.

I believe I can say that.

This is so beautiful!

What a superb view.

It's true.

It's really magnificent.

One feels the vital force

bubbling in the entire body.
