Illusion of Blood Page #4

---

But...

I found it.

What?

The recommendation Master wrote for you.

I see. He was more honest

than I thought.

Your gold pieces made him so.

If you take it to the proper place,

your position will be assured.

Omaki...

Good work.

Hey...

When you realise your dream,

don't forget me, or you'll regret it.

I'm amazed. You're a rascal too.

I risked my life for this.

Listen... Osode's here.

She came to work again?

No.

To see Iyemon about her sister.

Sister? You mean Oiwa?

Yes. You saw her while she was here.

You'd know about her.

No, I don't know nothing

about her at all.

I can't believe she became intimate

with Kohei and ran away with him.

I know nothing about this.

Then what about this?

Look.

Oh, my, how'd you get this?

It'd cost 5 ryo, even 10 ryo maybe.

Wouldn't it?

I've wanted one like this!

It's perfect for me?

Leave the comb alone!

What're you doing?

Something the matter with you?

Do you remember this kimono then?

This is a fine kimono!

It suits me perfectly, doesn't it?

How did you get it?

Then it's hers?

I... I don't know.

But you said...!

I don't know!

Blood! Blood! It's blood!

Please tell me what you know.

It's not me! Iyemon did it!

He did a horrible thing to her!

Horrible?

He gave her medicine

and tortured her to death!

Once we're powerful,

no one will dare curse us.

True.

Confident, aren't you?

By the way, how about Osode?

Putting me off, and enjoying herself.

You still won't admit defeat?

Too timid to try?

What?

She's only a woman.

I know that, but I'm head over

heels in love with her.

Behave!

What can a woman do even if

she becomes a ghost?

Hey...

Show her you're a man tonight.

Are you ordering me?

I'm tired of the whole affair.

I don't like cowards.

I won't let you help me any more.

I won!

I'm off.

Sure, go! Go home!

I'll do it.

Do it. Do it.

Sounds like revenge.

She's been taking advantage.

I'll take what I want!

Naosuke is back!

That's enough hugging

the family altar!

Answer me!

You're back?

That it?

I didn't come back to hear such

a half-hearted greeting.

It's no fun.

Naosuke

Do you want a drink?

It's not sake I want!

You won't accept my cup of sake?

What? What's the meaning of this?

Sake? I'll drink it. I'll drink any amount.

Yes, I'll accept it. I'll accept your sake.

It's good!

May I have a drink?

You? Going to drink? Very strange.

It's like a wedding ceremony.

This is interesting, isn't it?

A word, Naosuke

No more words. Let's do without them.

I know what happened to my sister.

Happened? What...

She was murdered.

Murdered? Who... who did it?

Iyemon, her husband. I have proof.

Iyemon? I see.

You must hate him. I don't blame you.

Naosuke! Please avenge her!

Are you telling me to kill Iyemon?

Avenge my fiance, my father,

and my sister.

Will you, will you, Naosuke?

Yes, I promised you I would.

Yes, I will, I will, I shall.

Look, Osode.

My arm is itching to do it, so I will.

If you will...

From tonight, we won't be

strangers any more!

I offered you a sake cup.

That means we're not strangers.

Our nuptials are over!

Oh, you're that man?

A wonder you found this place!

Right.

We were hassled by the authorities,

so we moved.

I have just the one you'll like...

Not today.

Odai!

Yes, Ma'am

Show your face. Don't be shy.

A handsome man.

That's not what I came for.

Get out of here.

Please come this...

Wait! Please listen!

I'd like Osode's address.

That's all:
You've got no money?

I was very sick that time

and almost died.

I recovered enough to get up.

Please tell me. Please.

It's embarrassing if you look.

Yomoshichi, I'm sorry about

not avenging you.

Excuse me, Osode. Are you ready?

Hey, let's leave the light on.

No? Let's leave it on.

No? It'll be all right.

No harm leaving it on.

Atchoo! It went out.

Yomoshichi? That's crazy!

Did I see a ghost then?

Did you tell him her address?

Oh, I needed that!

The door. We're busy now.

Excuse me! Please sell me some incense!

No incense! Sold out!

Wake up in there!

Someone's stealing your washing!

What? A thief?

Thief! Rascal! Thief! Thief!

Where...?

He's fast! Where did he go?

Damn thieves...

It's you, Naosuke?

How?!

Hello, I'm Yomoshichi Sato.

Hey.

Hey.

Open up!

Ghost! A ghost!

It's a ghost!

What's wrong? Who is it?

It's a ghost!

Is it true?

Osode! Osode!

That voice!

No.

Osode!

I've got to see.

No, stay here!

Osode!

Yomoshichi!

You're...

It's not a mistake. You're Yomoshichi!

It's so strange!

What?

Say...

What is he, anyway?

Yomoshichi... As well as ever?

Congratulations.

You're a masseur.

Don't be embarrassed.

We're both ronin now.

I'm lucky. Will you massage me?

Listen Osode, this is your home?

Yes, it's...

Hey, masseur...

Please don't...

Are you going to insult me too?

Please...

Don't insult me!

Hey! You!

I'm her husband! Yes, I am!

Yes, I'm her husband! I am!

We've just become husband and wife.

I'm sorry.

Give her up. She's mine.

Osode.

One woman and two men.

It's up to you to decide.

Which will it be?

Yomoshichi!

B*tch.

I became this because I wanted

to avenge my sister! And...

And what?

After we met that night,

someone killed you.

What?

I couldn't recognise your face,

just your clothes! At my father's home!

My clothes?

So I thought...

Ah! I see now!

That was Gengo, then.

He's been missing since that night.

Why is that?

Intending to see your father,

I borrowed Gengo's coat.

Then I became ill again,

so he went to buy my medicine.

Someone with a grudge against me

mistook him for me.

I'm so upset!

I made a mistake.

If I'd known, this would've

never happened!

What will I do? I'm so upset!

Osode! Osode! Wait, Osode

! can't bear it!

Osode! Osode!

Osode!

Hey, I killed him, thinking it was you!

Why you...

It's because I loved her! Remember that!

Osode became my wife, so we're

going to the other world together!

Osode.

Osode!

Osode...

Osode...

I'm...

I'm happy to die with you.

Iyemon... wouldn't understand...

this kind of feeling.

Your husband seems to be sleeping.

Yes, thanks to the help of you all.

Peace be with you.

Thank you very much.

It seems your husband

is cursed with a ghost.

Yes, that is why he becomes delirious

with fever sometimes.

If you repeat the sutra, the fever will go.

Thank you.

Take care.

Nao... Nao... Naosuke!

What? There's no greater villain than one

who's never been in love?

Do you mean me?

It's more than clear that you're a villain.

I see. That's so, isn't it?

Get a hold of yourself.

Tomorrow, you see the lord.

You will serve him.

Yes, yes, that's so.

So go to sleep again. Have a good rest.

Lie down. Lie down.

We've succeeded so far.

What if we lose everything?

Husband...

Husband, are you leaving?

I must see the lord today.

Husband... are you going to desert me?

No, no, I wont.

I just want a lord to serve.

You understand?

You wish to be a samurai again?

If there were any other way, I...

Empty words.

You will desert me... forever?
