Come across the sea to roost

Mom!
Mom...
If that man...
If I ever find out who he is...
I...
But we can't figure out the reason for it.
Hey, maybe at fifteen, he's finally had his first taste of youth!
We've heard that one before.
So that's why Mr. Yamanami's agitated.
What do you mean?
You'd never understand, not in a million years.
What d'you say?!
How about it, Tatsunosuke? You really don't know why?
Oh, please don't worry. It really isn't a big deal.
In the end, a lot happened at Shimabara.
What?! I haven't heard about this, Heisuke!
Well, I can't really say in front of the big brother.
But I was there at Shimabara too.
Oh, is that right?
Well, we'd better get going.
Sano, Heisuke, come on, let's go.
We haven't finished talking yet.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, good sirs.
Might I ask you not to toy with my younger brother in the future, to the extent possible?
With the Shimabara incident, my stomach and my patience
were both pushed to their utmost limit.
I most sincerely ask this of you.
Yes, sir! We'll keep that firmly in mind!
I have to hurry,
and make him forget about it.
May I help you?
That's no good. That is not a Tatsunosuke reaction.
Really?
I wonder just what's going through that mind?
Well, in spite of it all, he IS hitting puberty.
It's like a bad habit of sorts.
By tomorrow, I'm sure...
No, I didn't mean Tetsu, but you.
Was my expression just now really that strange?
Well, to be honest, it's not so much about what you're thinking,
but more about what you've seen, for even you to show it on your face.
That's what bothers me.
What Tetsu's seen, as well as what you've seen.
Mr. Okita...
Curiosity is a fine thing,
but could I ask you not to ask Tetsu about yesterday when he gets up?
Because, well, how should I put this?
It involved nothing but a lot of bad influences.
Is that why you're trying to forget about it?
Is that so wrong?
But I doubt Tetsu will forget.
Are you sure about this?
While you're trying to forget,
he may go find out for himself.
Just who it was that killed his parents...
You're incorrigible.
If you know all that, I'll get right to the point.
This is a problem between my younger brother and myself.
We don't need anyone interfering. Not even you, Mr. Okita.
I'm sorry.
If I've offended you, I'm sorry.
But...
But what befell all of you
is far too big to keep tucked away in your heart alone.
This may sound cold-hearted,
but I have no intention of commiserating with him,
much less avenging their deaths with him.
A life with no kin has given me an awfully constructive personality.
Well, to be honest, rather than bemoaning the tragedy of yesterday,
my days were spent worrying about being able to eat tomorrow.
I was thinking only about money, rather than my parents.
I'm really such a thankless son, aren't I?
And about the only thing such a son could do for them
was to live well and raise Tetsu to become a respectable adult.
That tickles!
Even though I have no idea what Tetsu was thinking during that time.
I think that's more than enough to allow your parents to rest in peace.
I have no choice but to make him forget.
If I'm to keep him out of harm's way from now on,
I have no choice but to make him forget.
And yet...
What was with that man?!
And you think you're a spy? We know everything about you.
Shinsengumi watcher, Susumu Yamazaki.
Nothing would be more dangerous than infiltrating Masuya now.
And besides, if "Sen" is no good,
"Yumi the hairdresser" can take action.
Yes, sir.
There is no need for you to fret.
I have failed the samurai's code.
Don't you get the wrong idea.
You're not a samurai.
Do you mean to let Mr. Hijikata's sentiments go for nothing?
Mr. Hijikata's placed his trust in you, you know.
And you're going to just ditch that and commit seppuku?
Could you be any more wretched?!
If you're gonna die anyway, do a hundred, two hundred jobs,
and then you can die, once you've spent of your life in full.
Don't you get the wrong idea.
You're a spy.
Why aren't I allowed to make steady progress?
Why is there always something getting in my way?
And that Tetsu's part of the problem!
He has no idea what I go through.
He even tagged along with me into the Shinsengumi!
So what if you become strong?
How is that going to change anything?!
So you get your revenge.
So you become strong enough to do that.
So you have that strength...
I'm sorry. It seems some tea went down the wrong way.
Well...
Pardon me, I just realized I've been babbling on and on.
Please allow me to ask you one thing.
Are emotional scars so easily healed?
At the very least,
I believe that I'm healed.
Is he your pawn as well?
You'd rather not make the same mistake that you did with me.
How unusual for you.
Your color is off.
I was born looking like this. What are you doing here?
Don't you need to be getting dinner ready soon?
Well, I will be taking a break from that work for a while,
since I will have some work in my true trade.
I have come for my assignment.
Hey, Tetsu!
It's time to eat!
It's Ayu's cooking!
You know how busy she is, and she worked hard to make this dinner!
...n't want it.
What did you say, little puppy boy?
I don't want it!
Sheesh!
Saya...
Look, for that part,
this is how you play it.
Let's see, I've got 19 cards.
And you've got 29?
Man, so it's an overwhelming victory for Saya?
Osaya?
What's the matter?
From the look on your face, I'd say you were thinking about someone you fancy.
So which do you like?
The taller one?
Or the little energetic one?
Oh, it's the little energetic one, isn't it?
It's okay.
You mustn't let being a woman of the red-light district hold you back.
You have to love him with all your might.
Your station in life doesn't matter.
Where you were born and how you were raised don't matter.
It's okay for you to live true to your heart.
Be true...
You mean, he hasn't had a thing to eat the whole entire day?
It seems more like he's grappling with something, rather than not feeling well.
We told him you were cooking for the first time in a long while,
but he said he didn't want any.
Anyone who laughs at Ayu's cooking will be crying later because they missed it!
So my dinner's gonna be a super-special big serving!
Hey, no fair!
NO!
But Ayu, as they say, "Those who miss mealtimes don't eat".
What's gotten into you today?
Well, that is...
Showing Tetsu some special consideration, are we?
Oh, goodness!
Could it be that you actually like them young?
Oh, whatever. We can leave it at that.
Tonight's dinner's gonna be a masterpiece.
So I want everyone to eat it together, friendly-like.
You know?
I'm hungry.
I better get off my butt and eat something.
Suzu...
I'll find him for sure, and ask him about it all.
Even if it might totally ruin our friendship.
I have to find out.
That woman...
Yamazaki...
Yamazaki!
Tetsunosuke...
No, it was nothing.
Oh, no, no. Hold on!
Ta-da!
Ayu!
No, you guys totally look alike!
Of course, he's got tons of makeup on because his is a disguise.
What's with that?
You aren't gonna tell me that I'm more of a doll than he is?
I get it!
He paints his face up to look like you when he's in disguise!
By the way, you've been going out a lot lately.
Hold it.
If it's questions, I get to go first.
What was with you today?
You didn't even have dinner.
What does it matter?
I'm not a kid anymore, you know.
I've got a thing or two on my mind.
So I guess what you're telling me
is that I didn't need to feel sorry for a respectable, grown man,
and carefully save some dinner for him?
Really, you must pardon me!
Well, a cold meal's nothing worth eating anyway.
Guess I'll go feed it to some stray.
Oh, no... I'm sorry!
Please let me have it!
It's so great that you can say what you mean.
I envy your big brother.
You know, Tetsunosuke, for my part,
I don't want you thinking too much about complicated things at such a young age.
If it's something where you've got a couple choices,
you just have to be honest with yourself and act on that.
Otherwise, it's such a waste of your energetic personality.
Right?
What's so funny?
You really are like a big sister, you know that?
Sis, when I grow up,
will I get to be a spy just like you?
Ayu...
Please, Tetsunosuke...
Even if it's just a little, be friends with him for me.
Having fights with him and comforting him...
Because I'm sure you're the only one who can do that.
And teach him lots...
About how to enjoy life...
About how to be happy...
About how to have fun...
Teach him lots and lots about all those things in my place.
Ayu was crying...

Though one may have chosen the sword over the pen,
one must have a poetic turn of mind.
