1:37:01
But, what if...
1:37:04
Just, what if...
1:37:05
Just, what if...
I understand.
1:37:08
Sir Kisoya, your concern is that...
what if Sir Tsuruchiyo...
1:37:11
...becomes one of
the conspirators.
1:37:15
These days, those wanting to become
a samurai can do so by...
1:37:17
...being of service to the clans of Mito,
Satsuma, or even Choshuu.
1:37:23
Y... Yes... that's right.
1:37:27
But, what's so wrong
with that, then?
1:37:30
What?!
1:37:30
What?!
Sir Kisoya, I too cannot believe...
1:37:33

Nowhere in this world does the child
kill the parent... It's absurd!
1:38:01
Okiku... the truth
is that...
1:38:05
...Sir Tsuruchiyo's
real father is...
1:38:08
...the Lord of Hikone,
Himself!
1:38:31
So, anyway, Kojima...
1:38:35
...Niiro is not aware
of this yet?
1:38:39
Correct, sir.
1:38:41
As I informed you earlier, sir, in
preparation for tomorrow...
1:38:45
...I went to the Kamakura riverside
to confirm our plans with him.
1:38:48
However, Niiro was nowhere
to be found.
1:38:51
Just then, Kisoya Masagoro entered
from the front, a bit hesitantly.
1:38:56
I immediately sought
a place to hide.
1:38:59
A while ago, I reported that
there seemed to be...
