:34:03
surely nothing is more fitting
than the clothes I now wear.
:34:25
I am deeply grateful for the courteous
and considerate treatment
:34:31
you have accorded me today.
:34:34
I can find no adequate words
to thank you.
:34:39
Now then, I shall begin.
:34:46
Might I ask, Counselor,
:34:48
who will be serving as my second?
:34:54
I have assigned Ichiro Shinmen.
:35:00
Master Shinmen?
:35:07
Did you wish for someone else?
:35:09
Yes, sir.
:35:11
I would like Master Hikokuro Omodaka.
:35:15
You request Hikokuro?
:35:17
I believe he's a retainer in this house.
:35:20
I've heard he's trained
in the Shindo-Munen-Ichi school.
:35:25
Indeed.
:35:27
Hikokuro is a fine choice.
:35:30
Hikokuro.
:35:35
I'm afraid he's not
in attendance today.
:35:39
He sent a note saying he's ill
and requesting a few day's rest.
:35:44
I see. That's too bad.
:35:48
Master Tsugumo.
:35:50
As you heard,
Omodaka is not present today.
:35:56
You will need to make another choice.
