I'm sleepy.
I believe you re Jubei Kibagami.
It must be a coincidence to have met you here.
I want you to work for me.
Of course, I will pay you.
No.
Hey, Genza.
What's it like out there?
Not much.
No matter where you go, people are people...
the sky is the sky.
Nothing's different.
I m...
Everyone is dead.
I m...
You're in a pathetic state, Roga.
I will let you live for now.
Roga... answer me.
Who attacked the Light Maiden's village?
Kimon clan...
What happened to the Light Maiden?
She ran away.
I don't know where in the world she is.
Where is the Sacred Dragon Stone?
Did you give it to the Light Maiden?
Ju... bei...
Jubei Kibagami.
Jubei?
What's he like?
Tell me what he looks like.
Everybody, listen up.
Look for this face.
Search for Jubei Kibagami.
What a nuisance this is.
Only the wind.
Ouch!
If we ever get attacked...
we can barely defend our village.
You're right.
I don't care who, but someone just beat me once!
All in all, I had no idea...
Genza...
everyone.
Oh, I see...
you found the Light Maiden.
I am letting her go for now. Please wait.
I will definitely bring her to you.
Don't fail this time.
Our lord Yamikugyo will not accept another failure.
Understand?
The Light Maiden and the Sacred Dragon Stone.
When those two become one...
the Hiruko treasures will be unlocked.
What do you mean?
You're going to charge me extra from here on in?
You never told me that!
Of course! I never told you that.
What?
This is a dangerous area...
full of thieves and bandits.
And I am guiding you with this heavy stuff on my back.
So, extra charge.
You...!
You're telling me that what I paid you isn't enough!
Not nearly enough!
You...!
Who do you think I am?
I have a master's license in Kashima Munen Swordsmanship!!
You're the kind who only paid for the license, right?
You better stop now, or you're gonna get hurt.
You brat!
Careful, Mr. Samurai.
Watch your feet.
Uh-oh... Mr. Samurai!
Crap.
He's got nothing valuable.
Something smells nice.
Don't be impudent!
Hmm, you are some beauty.
Do you think you can get away with doing such a thing?
Of course I do.
A man needs to survive.
What?!
You'd better watch out yourself.
This place is full of thieves and bandits.
Someone as beautiful as you will be...
That's it! I'm going to sell you off!
How dare you! Come!
Hand us that woman.
What a beauty!
Hand her over to us now, kid!
You dirty scoundrels!
OK, it's all yours.
Here we go!
Not the helmet, the girl!
Let me go!
I don't need your help!
That's not what it is.
You are my catch!
Don't kill her.
She's worth a lot!
What do you want, you crummy old priest?
What do you want?
This is what I want.
I guess I shall go.
Priest, thank you very much for helping me.
That's quite all right.
Hey, aren't you going to thank me?
You are a criminal.
What?
This priest is just as shady.
First of all, an ordinary priest wouldn't use a smoke bomb.
I wonder.
Young lady, where are you headed?
It is dangerous to travel alone.
I don't know.
Our village was burnt down.
Everyone was killed.
I...
I have no idea what I'm going to do now.
Then, let me tell you.
What in the hell is this?
Southeast Asian artifice...
a mechanical doll.
A mechanical doll?
It seems like someone s trying to get you.
Most likely, you are the reason...
why they attacked your village.
Why?
That should be explained by someone...
who will be here soon.
Priest?
Both of you, what's the matter?
Damn.
Who...
Who are you?
What do you want?
Why did you raid our village?
Why did you kill everyone?
Kid!
What?
You feel soft.
Shame on you!
- Let's run. - What?
Hey, kid...
do you know this area well?
Of course I do.
Then lend me your knowledge.
Nothing to eat.
I didn't think so.
Don't worry. I won't eat you.
Well, what a gigantic cat!
Jubei Kibagami.
Give me the Sacred Dragon Stone, and I will spare your life.
Don't you know it's not polite to steal?
It was ours to begin with.
You're the one who stole it.
No. I'm holding it for someone.
A promise between two men.
You fool.
Hey, he's gaining on us.
Is it OK like this?
Hell if I knew!
Ask that crummy priest!
What do you say now?
It's not too late yet.
Give me the Stone!
I... will... not.
Close call.
Was it?
Well, well.
So, young lady, what are you going to do now?
I want... to know...
more about myself.
I remember what Genza told me.
If anything happened to the village...
go to the village of Yagyu.
Then maybe you should go to Yagyu first.
I have an idea.
I'll accompany you if you wish.
Me, too.
No, you're just a burden.
Are you kidding?
It was me who told you about this waterfall!
I'm worried about her, so I'm going, too.
No matter where you go, people are people...
the sky is the sky.
What a nuisance I ended up with.
