The Snow Woman Page #2

But I'm not sure that I have the

ability for this. So I worry very much.

Don't worry.

Surely, everything will be all right.

You're very gifted.

I undertook this work,

risking my life,

because my master

couldn't make it, but I...

Surely, you will complete it!

Thank you, I don't know why, but

it seems to me that I lack courage.

It is late already.

Good night.

No. I would like to look more.

If I will not disturb you...

Of course not.

Everything's all right now.

You saved me.

Don't worry.

Mistress, what's the matter?

I felt heaviness in my sleep,

at night.

But Miss Yuki looked after me.

So everything is okay, now.

I see. Excuse me,

I slept like a log.

Never mind. You worked very hard

and got very tired.

Miss Yuki's parents were doctors.

- She recognized all my symptoms

right away. - Really?

There is an excellent medicine for

this illness. I'll go for it later.

Where?

It is an herb. I believe

it grows somewhere hereabout.

Here's the herb. A medicine.

There's a lot of it here!

Really. And here, and here.

Miss Yuki. Are you in a hurry

to leave?

Couldn't you stay in our house,

until the mistress gets well?

Someone is waiting for you,

probably.

Me... I have no one.

Really? Neither do I.

You too?

I didn't know my parents.

My deceased master saved me

and raised me as his son.

I see...

But as for you, Miss Yuki...

do you have a fiance?

- Really?

- And have you already a bride?

Nonsense! Who would marry me?

Really?

Miss Yuki!

What impudence! I don't care if you're

just children, I'll show you no mercy!

Bailiff!

Children, what did you do?

Are these your children?

They scattered logs!

- It hurts! Forgive me, please!

- Such impudence!

- Mistress!

- Take that! And that!

Get out of here!

Mistress!

Who are you?

I'm Yosaku. I once asked you

for permission to fell a tree.

I'm master Shigetomo's apprentice.

- Master of Buddhist statues?

- Yes.

Mistress! Mistress!

My horse!

Mistress!

I will punish you later.

Just wait!

Go!

I'm... dying.

- Mistress!

- Hold on!

Miss Yuki, your arrival here

was no accident.

I beg you, take care of Yosaku!

Yes.

Yosaku will surely become master.

But someone should help him.

Miss Yuki, please,

marry Yosaku!

Yes... But...

I beg you!

It's an imposition,

but if you wish...

Thanks!

- Mistress!

- Mistress!

- What? The old woman died?

- Yes. You need not punish her now.

It's enough! But what about

the woman?

The woman?

I ask you,

what became of this girl?

She married Yosaku, performing

the dying request of the old woman.

Do you like me?

Yes, I do.

Since the first time I saw you.

And I do also...

Really?

Yuki...

Why is your body so cold?
