:15:01
Mmm? My God!
:15:04
But this is a lump of pure gold,
you silly woman!
:15:07
However, if it's money you want, I'll pay for
the rice and take this nugget off your hands.
:15:12
What do ya say?
:15:14
My good people, is there a money changer
who could tell us how much this is worth?
:15:17
No? All right.
:15:19
Now, I'm just a monk, but I'd
say three bags of rice at least.
:15:23
That's right, maybe even more. Hey,
wait a minute. Where are you going?
:15:26
Where are you going?
Give me my gold!
:15:28
Hey! You can't
just rush off now.
:15:31
We've only just met.
:15:33
We have got your rice,
and everything's fine.
:15:36
You're a man of few words.
I understand.
:15:39
Don't you even think of thanking me.
It was my pleasure.
:15:42
In fact, I should be
thanking you, really.
:15:44
You see, I was caught in that battle.
I saw what you did to those samurai.
:15:47
You fight like a demon.
Where'd you learn to fight like that?
:15:51
I see you noticed
we're being followed.
:15:53
That's what we get for waving that
gold nugget around.
:15:56
They'll wait till we're asleep,
then slit our throats.
:15:59
What to you say we give 'em a little
demonstration of how fast we can run, huh?
:16:14
So the demon monster turned out to be
a giant boar.
:16:18
I followed its trail westward through
the mountains...
:16:20
to where the samurai were attacking
those villagers.
:16:23
- But then-
- You lost it. That's life.
:16:25
See this place here?
:16:27
When I came here last, a few years back,
this was a lovely little village.
:16:31
But then there must have been
a flood or a landslide or a fire.
:16:35
The only sure thing
is that everybody's dead.
:16:39
These days, there are
angry ghosts all around us,
:16:43
dead from wars,
sickness, starvation.
:16:46
And nobody cares.
:16:48
So you say you're under a curse?
So what? So's the whole damn world.
:16:53
Mmm! Ahh!
:16:56
I was wrong to fight in that village.
Two men are dead because of me.
