Orizuru Osen (The Downfall of Osen ) Page #2

---

Mr. Kumazawa here.

So rest assured.

Our game's on,

Osen.

Come with me.

It's starting to

get frosty.

You must

be freezing.

This is a

thin kimono.

No,

I can bear it.

I can bear anything.

For the sake of Grandma

who waits alone for me back home.

I dressed your late father in

his kimono just as now...

when he left

for Tokyo to study.

Come back

a great doctor

like your grandfather

and father.

I know that my tears of joy will

bring back light to these old eyes.

Grandma,

until I come back,

you mustn't let

anything happen to yourself.

Her sweet grandson's first journey.

The old woman was

forever looking in the direction he left

with her blind eyes.

Sokichi, study hard and

come home once you succeed!

Show me

some hakama.

A bit more

discount?

It already is

a bargain.

I see.

I'll take it then.

Well, just the kimono

this time.

SAISEl SCHOOL

I pray that you can

go to school like them soon.

I pray,

every day.

I think we met because

your grandma's

loving hearth called on me to

watch over you like a sister.

See you at

my place later.

Matsuda's wife is perfectly aware of

your plans for my sister.

Mr. Matsuda gave us 5 yen

for carting the statues to

Tsukiji from the temple.

I can buy the books

I nedd now.

And go to school

from tomorrow!

I can't allow you to

use this money!

You're happy to have got it,

but you

don't know

the whole story.

Ill-gotten money.

I don't want you to come to harm

by using this.

I'll manage your tuition...

You must return this.

Go return it now!

Alright,

okay.

Let's party now!

We did it!

A great victory!

He'll become a great man one day.

I can't let him use ill-gotten money.

Come here, kiddo!

Have a bite.

I'm returning

this money here.

What's that?

Here.

What for?

Keep it!

I gave it to you!

But...

This money is unclean.

I don't want it!

Huh?

You said

'"unclean'"?

Shut up!

You insolent urchin!

You impudent bugger!

Who do you think

you are!

We took pity and brought you home,

you nasty stray dog!

Take this!

Now,

hold it there.

Leave it to me.

I've got an idea!

Leave it to me.

Yeah?

You,

come over here.

Kiddo!

Hold still.

We'll "enlighten" you!

See?

'"Enlightened,"

right?

The only way to teach

a rotten whelp like him is

through food,

just like a monkey!

That's right!

No food for you

for the next 4-5 days!

I'll teach you

a thing or two.

How do you like it?

Hungry,

aren't you?

It's good!

It's delicious!

Dying for a bite?

The big job from 10:00!

Guys, wrap it up!

We know that, Boss.

Don't worry!

Got that?

We know,

we do!

Fine,

that's enough for now.

Go buy some

rice crackers.

Here you go.

Here is 10 sen.

Go get that famous

Soma rice crackers with

a bridle-shaped mark!

Got it?

Then go!

Give me some,

please.

Oh,

thank you!

I want some!

For 2 sen,

please!

Here you go.

Thank you.

Forgive me,

Grandma!

Uh-oh!

Oh, it's you.

Don't scare us!

Give it over here.

Two, four, six...

That's weird!

There isn't enough here!

Hey you!

You rascal!

Where's the remaining

You fool!

Didn't take you long to do this,

did it?

So much for the speech on

"unclean money"!

Well, well...

You're a true master at this!

Don't try to fool us,

you impudent fraud!

Your kimono too!

Dirty thief!

There!

'"Talent shows itself

right from the start. "

So true!

No!

Wait Sokichi!

Forgive me,

Osen!

I pray for Sokichi's long life

and great education.

Don't think that

it was I who saved you.

It's your grandma's

single-hearted love

that made the gods

rescue you.

It makes me so sad,

feel so helpless

Ever since Kumazawa

made me his with power,

my life has only been

a mindless toil.

Sold to bordellos,

then made to run away.

What's more,

now I'm forced to commit

a heartless deed.

Makes one

want to die, but

even death isn't

enough.

Even the gods must

take pity on such

wretched people as us.

Sokichi!

Wake up,

stupid monk!

Shut up!

As if that's going to

get the monk!

I won't be preyed on

any longer.

What's going on?

You must be brave,

Sokichi!

You double-crossing

b*tch!

Do as you like!

The lotus flower will take me

to Paradise!

Dead or alive, no one

cared for a rag doll like me!

But Sokichi's pure heart has

shown me the truth and

given me back my soul!

From now on,

no matter how long or short,

I'll live my life

with dignity!

You saved me from

calamity.

You have

the spirit of a Bodhisattva.

Namu Amida Butsu

Namu Amida Butsu

PAWNSHOP:

Sorry that

I kept you waiting.

SAISEl SCHOOL

You must be

freezing!

Don't worry about me.

Be off to school!

Oh, wait!

Have these bean rice cakes

on the way.

But... I'm fine!

Please,

you have them.

I feel bad.

I didn't get to cook you

breakfast today.

Please,

take it with you.

You can't possibly study on

an empty stomach.

Osen scraped money together.

She barely paid Sokichi's monthly tuition

and saw him off to school.

Osen returned home and noticed the lamp

as if the last drop of oil was burning out.

It started flickering weakly.

May Sokichi pass his

medical licensing exam soon

and live a happy life.

That is my only

happiness in life.

Hello,

neighbor.

Yes?

I take it that you're

out of food again, huh?

Oh please,

don't say that!

You hear me now?

That's why

I'm telling you to...

Only if you

do as I say.

You surely don't have to

suffer as bad as this.

No initial capital necessary,

you know.

Yes?

You despise it

that much?

A grand design,

isn't it?

Send your brother to school while

you beg me for food!

You rather

both starve?

Perfect!

Lady!

Ma'am!

You'll listen to me?

Then here.

Osen,

did you

grow rich overnight?

I told you it's

a good profession, didn't I?

I didn't prepare

supper tonight.

Let's go eat out.

No, I'll be fine with

the bean rice cakes as usual.

Osen?

Where did these

come from?

It's... nothing.

It'll be horrible

if you catch a cold now.

Your exams are

coming up.

You must eat some good food

and stay healthy.

Come now,

let's go.

The bill.

Eh, huh?

What!

Pickpocketed!

Oh?

Take this for now.

Please!

You must sleep now.

I can't

possibly sleep.

Not while you're studying here.

How could I?

Could it be the man,

who forgot these?

Police!

What're these!

Huh?

A devil of a woman!

Snooping around like that!

My sister would never

do such a thing!

Osen!

Did you really do

something wrong?

Forgive me,

Sokichi.

Your breakfast.

The cooked beans

are there,

in the lidded jar,

and the pickled ginger...

It's covered with

a paper lid.

Osen!

Take care of yourself

and study hard!

Don't ever

lose your heart.

Here is

my prayer for you.

May you rise high in the world,

higher than the sky!

Hey!

I'm sorry!

So sorry!

Oh,

Sokichi Hata!

Hey, Hata!

Professor!

It was indeed where the paper crane fell

that Sokichi was saved.

We apologize for

the delay!

The train will

depart soon!

Medical emergency!

Is there a doctor here?

Any doctor on this train?
