- Find him? - No!
- He's not here. - He's not there!
Where did he go?
Not here either!
What's all the commotion about?
Rokai has escaped.
Unbelievable.
Rokai?
I can go to the Light Maiden!
I'll go see her.
Yay, yay, yay.
It's hot.
Look at these paddies.
My spirit and my stomach are sinking.
I hear this valley has had scant rain since last year.
A skinny potato.
Thief!
That potato!
You're with him?
You took all the food from the village!
Wait, we're...
Give us back our food! You thieves!
Whoa!
You!
Whoa, this is bad!
Man, why do we have to get chased down?!
If I see that guy again, I'll...
That's enough! Let sleeping dogs lie.
Besides, we need to get back to Jubei.
Let's go.
Nice smell.
Could it be...?
She is the Maiden!
I'm so happy to see you!
What are you doing?!
Stop! Stop this. Stop this now!
Jubei!
Hey, hey, what was that?
He's an easy mark.
Don't underestimate Jubei!
Oh, Master Yamidoro.
You, too, go after Jubei.
I will capture the Light Maiden.
Yes, sir!
Dear Maiden!
Oh, dear Maiden, are you all right?
Please forgive me. Are you hurt at all?
Get away! Don't touch me!
I'm sorry. Did I hurt you so?
I didn't mean to drop you.
I've been a klutz since childhood.
Grandma used to scold me all the time.
I'm such an idiot to have dropped my beloved Maiden!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Dear Maiden, you can move!
I thought I gave you such a bad owie that you couldn't move.
I'm glad. I'm relieved.
Who are you?
My name is Rokai.
I came from Hiruko's village to protect you, dear Maiden!
Hiruko...
Oooh, just as I expected. Dear Maiden is so beautiful!
Grandma said you must be like a lily...
growing among the shade of the Hirukos.
She was absolutely right.
Oh, here!
I brought this for dear Maiden!
When I picked it, the flower was absolutely beautiful.
I carried it ever so carefully as if I was carrying you.
What happened?
I'm very sorry I made your flower look so ugly.
Is the lily from the village of Hiruko?
Yes! You're right.
I wanted dear Maiden to wear it in your hair, but...
Dear Maiden?
I've thought that Hiruko were just like their appearance...
hungry like beasts, a group of gold diggers.
Thank you very much!
You still accepted my flower, even though it looked so lousy.
Dear Maiden, I knew that you were a kindhearted person!
- I am so grateful. - That's enough.
I understand how you feel. I can take care of myself...
so why don't you go back to the village?
No! I cannot do that.
I came all the way here to protect dear Maiden!
I don't need you to protect me.
No!
As long as you're with Rokai, you're in safe hands!
Not this way!
I can smell those bad people.
It's safe over there!
Come, dear Maiden!
It will be safe going that direction.
Let's go now!
Enough! Pesky monkeys!
This way.
Rokai, where are you taking us?
We're almost there.
Look, over there!
Dear Maiden, would you like some?
You came here for this?
You're not hungry.
Then I will eat it.
Stop that!
Huh?
How could you put that in your mouth?
A little smelly, but it's delicious.
Dear Maiden?! What happened? Where are you going?
You weren't pleased with the flower after all.
I'll go get a beautiful one right now!
Don't go too far!
I can't believe it. How he could possibly eat that?
A bad smell. Oh, no!
Who are you?
I am Yamidoro. I control the Kimon Clan.
I've come to take the princess of the lost kingdom.
What?!
If you don't want to be like those trees and plants...
do not move.
Dear Maiden, where are you?
Dear Maiden.
Dear Maiden!
I will get you, Jubei.
Dear Maiden, where are you?
Hey, you! Where is my dear Maiden?!
You're telling me! That's my question!
You abducted my dear Maiden!
You're a Hiruko? Then that means...
Give me back my dear Maiden!
I'm tellin' you, I don't have her!
Can't do it. I'm hungry.
Huh? What's with this guy?
Oh, I smell Mr. Monkey.
You bastard!
What?
Dear Maiden.
Yes, Dear Maiden!
Dear Maiden!
Dear Maiden! Dear Maiden!
Come!
It's a little tight, but please bear with me.
Hmph, a Hiruko.
After them.
What happened?
Please wait just one moment!
Dear Maiden, here!
Dear Maiden! This way!
Fool!
Rokai!
My back!
Rokai, are you all right?
Dear Maiden, here.
Stop! Or you will rot away, too.
All we need now is Jubei.
Dear Maiden!
Dear Maiden.
What's the matter, Jubei?
Hey, quit interfering! I will kill him!
Huh? What was that?
I see your true identity!
I am impressed that you're still alive.
I am Yamidoro, leader of the Kimon Clan.
Jubei Kibagami, you are a formidable fighter.
Thanks for the compliment.
What did you do with Shigure?
Rest assured, she's alive.
With the half piece of the Dragon Stone you possess...
this will all be over.
So how about joining our clan?
No, thanks.
Following commands like a dog isn't my style.
So you're a wild beast, like your name?
You may be right!
Is that so?
I can use a swordsman like you.
You're persistent.
What do you say, Jubei?
Shut up!
You'd rather die a dog's death?
Better than that monkey!
Is that so? Such a waste.
Run! Now is your chance!
After him!
Hmph, a fool.
Master Yamidoro.
Where is he?
We lost him.
Is that so? Call everyone back.
We will take the Light Maiden...
and head for Lord Yamikubo's castle.
Yes, sir.
Hey! That was Shigure!
Hmm, that's bad.
I'll follow them. You go look for Jubei!
Gotcha!
I'm... hungry.
It's dried rice. Eat it.
No... I can't.
What? You're hungry, right?
My dear Maiden said to not be so greedy.
What are you talking about? Here.
Please save my dear Maiden.
Give her the lily.
Lily?
And tell her...
Since childhood...
I have loved...
the dear Maiden.
I wanted to be of help to dear Maiden.
Please...
don't hate me.
Don't worry.
Shigure wouldn't hate any Hiruko.
Jubei!
Whoa, what the hell?
What's up? What happened, Jubei?
They took Shigure.
I know. The old fart is following them.
We'll follow them too.
Let's hurry or we'll lose them!
