If you remain as my sister, someday you'll be unhappy.
Sooner or later, I had to cut off ties with you.
Brother, if you get caught...
Then...
Then, I will kill you.
I won't allow anybody else... anybody in the government to kill you.
Oh, Master.
My first sake in a while doesn't do me good.
I refused many times, but in the end I had to yield.
Oh, Yazaki. Come here.
No, I...
You are always stiff.
Oh, I heard that you got married recently.
Instead of getting flexible, you are getting stiffer and stiffer.
That aside, Kozuka-sama, what is that you'd like to talk about?
Yazaki.
Yes, Sir.
It's going to be sunny tomorrow.
Pardon?
Well, drink up!
Oh, no...
A man who doesn't play around will be taken lightly by his wife.
Now, have one.
Well then...
Oh!
I was made to drink a lot and he did not tell me anything.
That's a bummer.
Jukichi.
Yes.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for long. You must be hungry.
I'll ask somebody to prepare a meal right away.
Oh, no. I'm fine...
There are samurais hiding in the temple ahead.
What?
I informed you, just in case.
Who's this?
Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you.
Who are you?
Let's change our route.
Master!
Let's go.
Master, did you believe the words of somebody who didn't even show up?
Well, the more careful I am now, the better.
But Master, if you listen to those words, I'm afraid something bad would happen on the contrary.
Let's go! Kikuno is waiting.
Jukichi!
Yes, Sir.
What did Kozuka-sama say?
Well, nothing special.
Will you please give Jukichi something to eat?
It seems like Jukichi went out somewhere.
What?
Wait!
Please wait!
Are you alone?
What about Yazaki?
Well, there was an interference.
What?
Somebody warned him that samurais were hiding over here.
Don't talk nonsense! Not even a rat passed by here.
But somebody was here.
There was a really strange guy who melted into the darkness.
I'm sorry but that is my only merit.
What?
What are you doing?
If you hold a grudge, hold it against that man.
Hey, you guys, don't let him get away today!
Captain!
What? What happened?
What happened?
That is...
Nezumi! Sadakichi, hurry!
Yes, Sir!
Hey wait! I won't let you get away today.
Ah! Ouch.
Ouch, ouch.
C...Captain!
What?
This is... He's left an awful thing.
Nezumi, Edo wo Hashiru - Episode 07 [A Takki.us Fansubbing Project]
Captain! Mister Captain!
For the first time in a while, Nezumi appeared yesterday, I heard.
Captain, did you stay up all night again last night? It's really hard work.
Staying up all night. Just like me.
Hey, you! What were you doing, staying up all night?
Well, a young couple moved in next door to my row house.
Yeah. So what?
I was really curious about them, and I couldn't sleep.
I can hear the wife's sweet voice all night long, so... ah~!
Your lice are very active, too!
Very active!
Ah~ active, active.
Ouch! Ouch!
You're such a fool!
In addition to being a fool, you are perverted.
How nice! I want to get married soon, too.
Impossible!
Yeah.
You'll be single all your life.
Why don't you just see an imaginary wife?
That's cruel.
Osome~~
There's no more~~hot pepper.
What? Wait! Putting this much would be no good for you.
Never mind that. Just bring it!
He seems to be in a terrible mood.
Finally...
Nezumi did it...
What?
Hello.
Nezumi Kozou killed a man!
What?
No, Captain.
Don't talk nonsense.
I can't believe such an outrageous story.
Don't talk nonsense!
I saw, with my very own eyes...
Nezumi running away leaving the corpse behind.
What, you bastard!
Captain, by the way,
have you found out the identity of the corpse?
He's a manservant of a samurai family.
A manservant.
Yeah.
Captain, do you really think Nezumi committed this crime?
What?
Would Nezumi be seen by a townsperson, and kill him for that?
Nezumi, who has never shown his face even to you, Captain.
That's right! That makes sense!
Shut up! If I could think that way, I would feel much better.
Nezumi does not kill people! If I could think that way, I'd feel much better.
Hey, Jirokichi-san.
Your soba will be soggy.
Yea...
As expected of you, Captain. There'll be no mistake thinking that way.
What?
What! He left without eating.
You guys, too! This is a soba shop!
It's not a place for you to come and talk.
If it's not Nezumi, then who on earth did it?
The Kawakami clan?
Yes.
Did you hear any bad rumor?
Kosode-san, what are you investigating this time?
If you save somebody's life once, you would naturally hope he ought to survive to the end!
Yeah...
Moreover,
Brother tells me to let it go, but I just can't stand it!
That he remains being falsely accused like this!
Kosode-san, as always, I don't get your story at all.
What?
For heaven's sake!
Master, did you believe the words of somebody who didn't even show up?
Well, the more careful I am now, the better.
But Master, if you listen to those words, I'm afraid something bad would happen on the contrary.
Let's go!
Jukichi, could it be that...you had been hired by somebody?
Kosode-sama, is there anything wrong?
Kosode-sama!
Oh, Hironoshin-sama. I'll take my leave now for today.
As always, she's an abrupt person.
Kikuno.
Welcome back.
Go back to your parents' home right away.
What?
I've already informed your parents. You don't have to worry about this home.
Wait a minute! Why is that?
Why do I have to go back to my parents' home?
Master, does it have something to do with Jukichi's murder?
Or is there anything you don't like about me?
Say something, please.
Master!
What is it?
The police captain is here...
Captain! Captain!
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry to bother you often.
Is there anything else I can do for you?
I've already told you everything about Jukichi.
Yes. Yazaki-sama. We cannot interfere with the internal affairs of your clan.
However, there may be something I can help.
Yes.
What are you talking about?
The injury was made by the sword of a samurai.
Yazaki-sama, are you really sure you have no idea about it?
How rude! A mere police captain cannot do anything.
Go back now!
Captain, aren't you vexed, being run down like that?
Sadakichi.
Yes.
Even a mere captain has pride, right?
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Follow me!
Yes, Sir.
Ah~ awesome! Awesome!
I am home.
Oh, you are late.
I found the home of the samurai you saved.
What?
Captain Tokugoro was visiting the home too.
I assume Captain also think there's something behind that murder case.
You, don't get involved unnecessarily.
It may be okay with you, Brother, but I cannot stand it!
I cannot accept that Nezumi remains mistaken as a murderer!
Never mind!
Never mind! Meal!
Yes.
Itadakimasu.
Hmm~
Wow!
Another serving, please.
Eat the entre, too. Miso soup also.
Rice, please!
Yes.
Yazaki, are you making progress in the investigation of the matter?
Yes. There are some dubious points in the deal with rice merchant Izumiya.
I suspect a part of the money converted from the agricultural tax went to somebody without being entered in the accounts book.
Who received the money?
Lord, please wait for a while...
...until I look through all the accounts books and documents to find concrete evidence.
Understood. Be very vigilant.
Yes, Sir.
After all, I cannot trust the retainers who have been serving us since my father's era.
They did nothing but curry favour with my father.
There was nobody who advised the right way.
However, you are different.
You're the only one I can trust.
Lord, your words are too good for me.
Fukui-sama.
Things being like this, they will suspect us even more.
Rather, because of the incident that night, Yazaki may have already focused on us.
Yes.
That stiff man won't come over to us for money.
Indeed, he is a man of integrity.
Have you ever seen him making merry, going on a spree?
No...
On top of that, he is the best sword fighter in the clan.
We cannot kill him easily.
Well, Chief Retainer, I think even that man has a weak point.
What?
Hey, Kuniyasu!
What is it? Tell me.
Yes, Sir.
I've heard Yazaki-dono deeply cares for his wife, whom he married recently.
If that's the case, why don't we use this?
Madam, what are you doing? I'll do such work.
No. Let me do just this.
But, Madam...
My mother used to do this all the time.
She wanted to have my father wear the whitest socks.
So that he could go to work with a fresh feeling.
Though my husband won't say anything,
I understand.
The reason he told me to go back to my parents' home is perhaps to protect me.
Madam...
But he does not understand at all.
I've already made up my mind to die with my husband.
Master is fortunate...
...to have such a good wife.
He's so fortunate...
Hello! Hello!
Yes. Please wait for a second.
I was sent here by Yazaki-sama.
The lord is calling you, so please come to the mansion of the clan.
The lord is calling me?
Yes.
Why is the lord calling me?
That...I don't know.
Madam...
Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
Madam...
Welcome!
Show your face.
Yes, Sir.
Are you Yazaki's wife?
Well, just as the rumour says, you're beautiful.
No, not at all, Lord.
No, you're truly beautiful.
I understand very well why Yazaki cares for you so much.
Lord.
What is it?
Why did you call me here, Lord?
Do you want to know?
From a long time ago, strangely, Yazaki and I have the same taste.
If that is the case, I have to taste you, whom Yazaki adores so much.
Lord, please stop.
Don't worry.
It'll be ok if you keep this secret.
Please stop!
If you do that, you can stay married to Yazaki just like now.
Please stop!
Wait!
Who are you?
Huh?
You've been following me from Yazaki's house.
Please stop!
Wait!
Who are you?
Now!
Intruder!
Well... Who are you?
The man you saw just now isn't the lord of Kawakami clan.
What?
Because you don't know his face, they tried to trick you.
No way... Why?
They probably thought you would commit suicide if you were raped by the lord.
As a result, the tie between the lord and Yazaki-sama would be severed forever,
...and the crime that Yazaki-sama is investigating will be buried in the dark.
So...
Now!
Bastards, where did they go?
Found them?
No. Found them?
Kosode...
You are...
You are the one who took me here just now!
Kosode-san, this is indeed an injury caused by a sword, isn't it?
No way. It can't be!
Then, where on earth did you get injured like this?
Oh, Otoyo-chan. You are skillful. I think you can be independent soon.
Kosode-san!
Don't change the subject, please.
Such an injury is not a big deal. I can even go to the Dojo tomorrow.
Oh my, Kosode-san!
Ouch! Ouch! Oh my, Kosode-san!
Oh, I am sorry.
Fortunately it was not a deep wound, so if she rests well, she will be fine.
Ah... I am sorry to trouble you.
Jirokichi-san, I hope you've not been involved in some trouble.
Doctor.
Yes?
Is it possible that you keep Kosode here for a while?
What?
Ah well...she does not listen to what I say.
I think she will recover sooner if she stays here.
Understood. It's alright.
Thank you.
Doctor, I am done.
Thanks.
Well then, I'll take my leave. Otoyo, take care of her please.
Jirokichi-san!
Isn't he a little indifferent?
She's gotten injured severely,
...and he went home without seeing her.
I've never seen Jirokichi-san that flustered.
What?
He must have been worried about Kosode-san very much.
Look at this. He even drank from my cup.
Aren't you going to eat?
You trusted my words that night and took a different route.
Then, why don't you trust me once more.
Who is it?
If you keep going that way,
your life will be in danger once again.
Not only yours, but your family's as well.
Who are you?
I don't know what information you have, but I'm ready for a long time to throw away my life in order to perform my duty as a samurai.
Are you saying you don't mind if others get killed for that?
That...
...can't be helped, too.
I can't accept it. I've got a resolution, too.
Since my sister shed blood, I as her brother can never forgive the man who struck her.
Sister? What do you mean?
Can you help me?
Excuse me.
Chief Retainer, there is no more time to lose.
Let's send Kuniyasu to slay Yazaki tomorrow.
Don't fail this time!
Yes, Sir.
Kuniyasu!
Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir. I'll arrange immediately.
Kozuka, feed the goldfishes!
Yes, Sir!
Who are you?
Please keep in mind that Yazaki-sama will not appear in front of you any more, Lord.
What did you say?
Because tomorrow, Yazaki-sama's life will be taken away...
...by the people who are involved in the wrongdoing in the clan.
What?
If you would like to know who's behind the plot,
why don't you find out by yourself?
Who on earth are you?
What happened, Lord?
Nothing's wrong. Leave.
Yes, Sir.
(If you want to avoid the immediate danger of the clan, come to Tenshoan at 2 pm tomorrow)
Have a nice day.
Yeah.
Kikuno.
Yes.
I'll be alright. There's nothing to worry about.
Master.
I trust you, Master.
What? What's going on?
Hey, which one is Yazaki?
We'll separate into two groups. Don't lose him.
Come!
Either way...
Where did he go?
Hey!
He's gone!
What shall we do?
Don't know!
Look for him!
Okay! Look for him!
Kuniyasu!
You are Kuniyasu, aren't you?
Lord...
Then this is all your boss' plot, isn't it?
Then, Kozuka is...
Since Fukui is above Kozuka, is it Fukui then?
Lord!
Lord! Are you alright?
I'm fine. Now, who's that man?
Kikuno!
What happened to you, dressing as if you would fight.
Master!
Sorry to be late.
Kikuno. I've caused you trouble until now.
Then, from now on, there is nothing to worry about?
Yes.
You, me and a baby in my tummy, three of us...
...can live peacefully, can't we?
Kikuno, you are pregnant?
Yes.
What a...
Great! Great!
Mitsu! Mitsu!
Yes!
Kikuno is pregnant.
That's great!
Oh, now, I have to think of a name.
Is it too early? Sorry. Let's celebrate first.
Yes.
The senior samurais in the clan who committed the wrongdoing were ordered to carry out seppuku, I heard.
The blood shedding incident that happened in the temple was after all a strife within the clan.
Then, it means Nezumi has nothing to with it at all, right?
Woww!
Boss, you look very happy.
Fool! What are you talking about? Hot, hot, hot, hot!
Rather than that, Tokugorou!
Yes!
Though you came that close to Nezumi, once again...
...you guys could not catch him.
You seem to be hopeless in the future, too.
Boss.
I'll definitely catch him next time. Right?
Yes!
I've heard that too many times.
I am sorry.
Hey! This is a soba shop!
Don't leave without eating soba!
Alright, okay, okay hehehehe~
Captain, here's hot pepper!
Hot pepper?
Soba tastes the best just as is hehehe~
Then, hot pepper please.
Kosode-san is indeed a strange person.
Is that so?
Well, while she was here, all she talked about was Jirokichi-san.
"Is he eating properly?" "Is he sleeping well at night?"
"Can he wake up in the morning, wash his face, and go to the bathroom?"
Oh.
Kosode-chan, you...
Though you managed to sneak into the daimyo's mansion,
you came back empty-handed?
Just as always, how stupid Nezumi is!
I think you can walk, can't you? I'll lower you down now.
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.
That was on purpose.
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!
Brother, go that way, please.
What? It's shorter this way.
No, that way.
That takes longer.
I want to take a detour.
Why?
No particular reason.
It's alright, isn't it? You need to listen to the wounded person.
I am tired already.
You are a weakling. Now, go!
