Goemon Page #2

Mother, are you all right?

Wait here, I'll buy some medicine.

Hi.

Ugh, it stinks here.

These are the worst slums I've ever seen!

Because of the free Market, free Guild policy,

new markets have been opened...

Good for the people who were successful with them.

But all the weak guys ended up like this.

And the disparity between the rich

and the poor became even wider.

They just think about the survival of the fittest, I guess.

I don't know whether this is good or bad.

Hey, master...

Fine, fine, fine...

Hey, hey, hey...

You don't feel like searching anymore, do you, master?

That's not true!

Mother!

Is this all right?

Absolutely!

Those guys are rotten to the bone, right?

What do you want?

If you don't want your head to be cut off

by this proud sword, you should leave immediately.

Aniki! Aniki!

Master!

My arm!

That was too much, master!

Mother...

Mother, why...

Why...

It's because you're weak.

That's what you're thinking, right?

"I couldn't beat them, so she got killed".

"If I had been stronger than they are,

all of that wouldn't have happened".

Am I wrong?

Become strong, boy!

If you do that, they won't be able to

take away anything from you ever again.

I'll take this box.

Yes.

Since we've got the box, let's go back, master!

It's already too late.

What?

Who's that?

Saizou...

What?

Goemon.

Give me that box.

And what if I say that I don't want to?

You really shouldn't try that.

Master! Master!

It was just a joke, a joke!

Understood.

Here, take it!

Bye.

Follow them!

That's dangerous!

Here I am!

Hey, let me through, let me through!

Master!

Go!

You haven't gotten rusty yet, have you?

You're quite motivated, huh?

Just what's so special about that box?

It's called Pandora's Box.

What's that?

There's a legend about it in the west.

You mustn't open it.

It's a box that summons many different

calamities when you open it.

Do it!

Do you still want the box?

The circumstances have changed.

You've just barely escaped being killed.

Master... are you all right?

Delicious!

If you don't wanna eat that, I'll take it.

Wait a second...

Master.

Do you really want to take him with you?

Is there a problem with it?

Isn't he just a burden for us?!

Is god...

testing our abilities with this task?

Just what the hell can that damned brat do for us?

Nothing, but...

I don't care whether I have one or two burdens to carry.

Even if you say that...

What?

You see me as a burden, too?

I've had enough.

Then...

What's that box?

It's called something with pan.

I see...

By the way, master...

What?

Do you know Saizou?

Why?

I'm just wondering.

We're just both famous.

Don't lie to me!

Do you want to know?

Yes.

You haven't told me anything about

your past at all, master.

I had my first time at 15.

That's not what I wanted to know!

I'm just a normal thief...

The great master thief, Ishikawa Goemon.

That's all to know...

What's this?

What?

Looks like a map...

Oh!

What's wrong with you? Why are you so loud?

Here.

Thanks for the food!

Yes!

Hey, let's go!

Thanks for the food...

The payment.

Here...

It's here, right?

There.

It's inside of his ear.

Yes!

Ah!

There's something.

Ah! It hurts, it hurts!

I'm stuck!

Ah, ouch, ouch!

Master, please help me, master.

Master, please look here!

What's that?

Hey, master!

It hurts...

A jointly sealed covenant?

Huh?

I've seen these family crests somewhere before...

Come out!

You keep following us since that inn...

Right!

I knew the whole time you were there!

Who the hell are you?

Hattori Hanzou...

What?

Well... oh... Hattori Hanzou?

I give that back to you.

Who's that?

No one knows...

There's no one who's seen him and survived it.

Damn, it's the legendary shinobi!

What do you want?

I want to buy that jointly sealed covenant.

If that's not enough, I'll give you more.

You... you can't buy it with that small amount of money!

Understood, I'll sell it to you.

Right, right...

What?

You really want to sell it?

If you don't have an employment,

I know a good employer!

I've got enough money to survive.

Hey.

Is this thing real?

What? Hanzou?

Perhaps... Ieyasu ordered it...

That damned cunning old man!

He knew about the jointly sealed covenant?

If Goemon gave him the box... then...

Damn!

That thing was our special trump card...

Just who the hell is that Goemon guy?!

Oh, why that grim face?

Can't you wait just a little bit longer?

Till we get our hands on that jointly sealed covenant...

And when we finally have it...

What?

Just where have I seen those family crests before...?

Where was it?

What?

What?

Hey, brat!

Have you seen my Kodachi?

I don't know where that dirty thing is...

It's not dirty.

Hey, where's Goemon?

Oh? Well...

He's sleeping, strangely.

You should also sleep, brat.

Damned brat.

Do you have it?

Kneel down!

I've remembered!

What?

Those were...

the family crests of the Akechi and Hashiba families!

Those family crests on that jointly sealed covenant!

Akechi? Hashi?

Yes, Akechi is...

Akechi Mitsuhide...

he got close to Nobunaga and then betrayed him...

He's the man who assassinated

him in the Honno temple.

And Hashiba?

Hashiba stands for Hashiba Hideyoshi...

It's Toyotomi Hideyoshi's former name.

No way...

So Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide had a secret

connection after all...

What does that mean?

That means...

It was Taiko Hideyoshi himself...

who planned Nobunaga's assassination.

This jointly sealed covenant is...

the absolute proof of it.

So... has he made a move?

Probably.

Master! Master!

It's not the time for sleeping!

Ma...

Wh... who are you?

This is my revenge...

for Nobunaga!

I...

What happened?

Who are you?

Goemon...

Chacha...

Chacha!

Old lady.

It's dangerous to walk around in this area late at night.

Rumors say that bandits might come out.

I'm begging you!

Just spare this child, please, just spare this child!

I'm begging you!

This isn't a path an old hag like you should take!

On the other hand...

You have quite a cute face, huh?

I'll sell you at a high price.

You brat...

Boy.

Become strong!

If you do that, they won't be able to take

away anything from you ever again.

Do you want to come with me?

I'll make you strong!

Welcome back, Nobunaga.

Ah...

Nobunaga, who's that brat?

I'll look after him from today on.

What?

Hanzou!

We have a new shinobi.

What's his name?

Goemon.

OK?

Goemon, Saizou...

The winner is allowed to drink.

A shinobi is like a shadow.

A shadow doesn't need it's self.

Kill your self and become your master's blade.

Never show yourself and hide from this world.

That... is the destiny of a shinobi.

That's enough, stop!

These two are now excellent adepts.

So, my eyes weren't deceived?

Goemon!

Ahh!

Goemon...

You mustn't get up yet!

Here.

Ah, delicious.

Here's today's tile block print.

It says, someone killed Taiko Hideyoshi's double.

It happened in that night, when you...

disappeared together with my Kodachi
