Goemon Page #2

I had an audience with Chacha earlier.

I haven't seen her for a long time,

but she has become very beautiful.

It's understandable that Hideyoshi wants her.

Chacha is Nobunaga's niece.

His best vassal, Hideyoshi,...

treats her like his own daughter.

But is that...

really all?

Then...

Chacha.

How many years have passed...

since Nobunaga has died...

and I've become your foster parent?

It's been 15 years ago.

I don't know how I should thank you

for all you've done for me.

What are you saying?

I'm just doing what I have to do.

If he wouldn't have employed me...

I would've died as a wretched peasant.

That's why I've become...

the one with the governmental power...

as a Taiko.

The world has changed.

You need to change, too, Chacha.

Become my concubine!

And after you've become my concubine,

will you give birth to my child?

A child who's descended from Nobunaga...

Yes?

Who is it?

It's me, Rikyu.

Ah, you are here... Hideyoshi.

I'll come back later.

It's fine, I was about to leave.

Rikyu.

Yes.

Chacha will be staying in this castle for a while.

I'm waiting for your answer.

Long time no see, Chacha.

You must be exhausted from the long journey.

Shall we hold a tea ceremony?

Rikyu...

Yes.

Will I...

be able to see the fireflies even from here?

Please wait, master.

How are we supposed to find that thing here?

Intuition, I guess.

Sigh.

I was expecting that answer.

Here, mother, eat.

Koheita, this...

What? Do you think I've stolen it?

Goemon came out yesterday.

Koheita?

I've already eaten, so it's OK.

Here, eat.

Thanks.

Delicious.

Mother, are you all right?

Wait here, I'll buy some medicine.

Hi.

Ugh, it stinks here.

These are the worst slums I've ever seen!

Because of the free Market, free Guild policy,

new markets have been opened...

Good for the people who were successful with them.

But all the weak guys ended up like this.

And the disparity between the rich

and the poor became even wider.

They just think about the survival of the fittest, I guess.

I don't know whether this is good or bad.

Hey, master...

Fine, fine, fine...

Hey, hey, hey...

You don't feel like searching anymore, do you, master?

That's not true!

Mother!

Is this all right?

Absolutely!

Those guys are rotten to the bone, right?

What do you want?

If you don't want your head to be cut off

by this proud sword, you should leave immediately.

Aniki! Aniki!

Master!

My arm!

That was too much, master!

Mother...

Mother, why...

Why...

It's because you're weak.

That's what you're thinking, right?

"I couldn't beat them, so she got killed".

"If I had been stronger than they are,

all of that wouldn't have happened".
