Bored!
You're supposed to pass these days lost in thought...
Opening the box in your heart that you'd long ago closed...
But I'm bored!
You're an idiot, you know that?
Haven't you any idea of what it means to be Japanese?
Um, no... Not really, I guess.
Shut up!
It was raining back then, wasn't it?
Episode 6
Memory Maiden
How many years has it been?
It was on a day like today that I first met my lord...
I still served Kubou-sama in the capital.
What's going on?
Oh, Akechi-sama.
Actually, we're trying to do something
to relieve our boredom from this long rain.
OK, ready!
Set...
Go!
Who's next?
Will no one else challenge Nobunaga?
I'll go!
M-Me, too!
Me, too!
Whatever... All of you, come at once!
Who is that?
The lord of Owari.
She is?
Are we done?
Will no one else entertain me?
You!
Fight me.
OK, ready...
Set...
Go!
Not bad.
What is your name?
Akechi...
Mitsuhide...
Mitsuhide?
Mitsuhide!
What is it Oda-dono?
Want to go on a trip?
No, thanks.
What?
If you stay inside on a day like this, you'll get moldy.
I have things to do.
What are you doing?
Give that back.
That's Kubou-sama's...
If you want it back,
stop whining and follow me.
I said no...
Mitsuhide,
you care too much about stupid stuff.
You need to enjoy yourself more.
Once in a while, you should get out, enjoy the fresh air,
and let the glorious sun shine down on you.
Hey, Mitsuhide!
The river water's still cold.
Here's a present for you.
Do you dislike fish, Mitsuhide?
No, that's not it...
OK, next.
Follow me, Mitsuhide!
Thanks.
I'd heard the rumors,
but she's even wilder than I'd imagined.
Why must I suffer through this?
I can't understand it.
I can't understand it, but...
Here you go...
Nobunaga-sama,
that's not how you drink that...
Don't whine.
You're too by-the-book, you know that?
Mitsuhide...
I return to Owari tomorrow.
Would you help me, Mitsuhide?
I want to conquer this land!
For that, I'll need your wisdom and talent.
My lord offered water to a parched life.
How happy I was then...
I'm certain those words were said to me alone!
There's no way that's true!
No way, my lord!
Yeah, Hideyoshi?
You're really terrible at this.
I don't get it...
Stop throwing your cards around when you lose!
Stupid.
Then what should we do next?
Conquest
OK, I'll show you something interesting.
It's like a ninja mansion!
Follow me!
What's back here?
Don't hit your head.
So, this is what's inside the walls?
Is this a theme park attraction?
It's to keep intruders out.
I see.
What is this?
This is the inspection tunnel.
It has to be small and cramped.
They look like they could attack us at any minute.
It's fine. Don't worry.
They're all turned off.
But don't touch anything.
We don't want them restarted.
I'm scared, my lord!
I'm going on ahead.
Wait! Wait!
Um, my lord?
You don't smoke, so why do you always carry that?
This?
This is a good luck charm.
A good luck charm?
Yeah.
You stupid child!
Why are you such a tomboy?
How many times will you force your mother to repeat this?
You are the lord of this place, of Nagoya Castle!
And still, you refuse to act like it!
You must learn to behave yourself!
Come now, Nobuhide-dono.
There's no need to yell at her.
Mother!
I, Nobusada, shall take the child.
Understand?
Very well.
Nobunaga, will you come with me?
Why did you hurt them?
They wouldn't listen to me.
So I taught them a lesson.
Taught them a lesson?
I want to show you something.
Listen well.
From ancient times, it's been said that she who controls the water, controls the land.
Through the mastery of water, drawn from mighty rivers,
the fields grow.
However, if you try to force it to stop or overflow,
it will instantly rebel.
The hearts of women are like the water.
Force them to obey, and they will rebel.
You must not force.
The hearts of women are like the water...
I give this to you.
If, in the future,
you find yourself leaning toward violence,
grip this tightly, and wait for it to pass.
Can you do that?
I don't understand.
I see... You don't.
But someday, you will.
Nobunaga...
Become worthy to conquer the entire land.
It is a dear memory of Nobusada-dono.
That's a great story!
But for all that, you're still really short-tempered.
Don't say that.
Back there, you threw the cards.
I said don't say it.
Granny Nobusada must be spinning in her grave.
I said don't—
See?
It's not that easy to fix.
You should try!
But yeah, we need to find all the armor pieces
and conquer the land, for your grandmother's sake, too!
I'm ready to help, any way I can!
Just let me handle everything!
Well, maybe everything isn't a good idea...
You're too cocky.
What about you? Do you have anything?
Well, I don't...
This, maybe?
I bought it, so I wouldn't fail my test...
And after that...
That accident happened.
I wonder if this works...
Let's head back.
OK.
What?
You idiot!
You turned them on!
Isn't this really bad?
This is gonna kill us!
It's meant to keep out ninjas!
Anyway, stop touching stuff.
Jeez...
I get it!
Where's the exit?
What time is it, anyway?
It's dinnertime now, isn't it?
I'm hungry.
Do you have anything to eat my lord?
Also, I'm thirsty...
Shut up!
Ah.
Not "ah"...
Masamune-dono?
Looks like you're collecting the armor quickly.
I'm glad to see that.
It's thanks to your information.
Not at all.
Even if you know where they are,
acquiring them isn't easy.
That's true, but...
By the way, I've been wanting to ask...
What is it?
Why do you not take the armor for yourself?
Oh, that?
I'm not up to the task.
I have no talent for war, and I'm no warrior.
I believe Nobunaga-dono alone is worthy to wear the armor.
I see.
There's no one but her, I agree.
I'm envious. She trusts you...
How far does this go on?
Lake Biwa.
No way!
Somewhere around here, there's an escape route...
Can't we just drift out?
Didn't your grandma tell you not to go against the water?
That isn't what she meant!
If we keep floating along with it,
we'll drown before we reach Lake Biwa.
Still, she's been acting strangely of late.
She has you as her right hand,
yet she seems oddly taken with that Hideyoshi girl.
From my perspective, I think you're more than sufficient.
But in the end, she must be expecting greater things from you
than anyone else in the search for the armor.
Yes, I'll do my best.
You need not tell me.
H-Hey...
This is it!
I'll see that her wish comes true...
even at the cost of my life!
Truly, the desire of a warrior.
Where are we?
So, we came out here.
What happened, my lord?
Akerin, it was crazy!
You see...
Get away from her!
I said get away!
Mitsuhide, calm down!
Calm down!
Akerin, got another towel?
You're soaked... What happened?
Anyway, that was...
Hideyoshi!
You'll catch cold, too.
I'll have the people in the castle make you something warm.
Come.
Yay!
How about you, Masamune-dono?
Something warm!
I'll take you up on that.
Masamune-san!
Hide-san...

OK, we'll practice our acting today.
Acting?
Hideyoshino Hidaka Rina
Yes, acting.
OK! Let's do it.
OK.
First, try Ieyasu-chan.
Ieyasu-chan?
Ieyasu-chan.
What should I say?
The line of hers that you remember most.
Three... Two... One...
Ieyasu-chan...
Useless!
That isn't right... That isn't right, is it?
No, you shouldn't bring yourself down.
