Yumeji Page #3

but he knows that place

like the back of his hand.

Some newspapers said

he's a hero.

Because he's resisting

the authorities alone?

Ha! He's just crazy

and desperate for that woman.

Was she that pretty?

Mr Wakiya had a crush on her.

That's where the trouble started.

Wakiya?

Didn't you know?

The owner of that mansion?

You really didn't know?

That's why Mrs Wakiya

searches the lake

for his body every day.

Some say

long ago, a samurai refugee

was hiding in the house.

But he was discovered

and decapitated.

The people in the house

were held responsible

and executed, too.

So the occupants serve food

to their spirits every day.

His name is Matsukichi,

but since the incident,

we've been calling him Devil Matsu.

Was what he did so demonic?

He pulled a cart for living.

She ran a small restaurant.

Had a child.

Which one?

The woman.

Matsukichi loved her

and took care of her.

Then one day Mr Wakiya

dropped in at the restaurant.

And he laid eyes her.

He liked what he saw.

Then what?

Did she fall for his money

and abandon her old love?

Before that, Matsu found them

in bed, making love.

Straight to the good part!

He took them to the ranch

holding a scythe to their necks.

- No one saw them?

- It was midnight.

Isn't this room beautiful?

That's a Kaga curtain.

You've given it the works.

Yes. We spend time and labour

on better living here.

That fish, for example.

It's pickled and dried.

It's hard work.

It takes a lot of time.

As if labour turned

to a soft, warm breeze.

I feel like I'm in the place

I've always longed to be in.

When they reached

the slaughterhouse...

In the ranch?

He yelled at him,

"Go to hell!"

Do you know about the large pipe

used to wash the blood away?

Yes, I do.

He dumped him in it.

Alive?

The women was cut as she escaped

before she died.

How frightening.

You need to be careful!

Couldn't he get out of the pipe?

It sent him down

to the depths of the lake.

His chances were slim,

according to the police.

But if he could swim underwater...

Just maybe.

He couldn't have survived this.

I couldn't have.

You can stop now. I'm satisfied.

His body will appear someday.

But what if he's alive?

If there's even the slightest chance!

Why are you so bothered

about the search?

- Because...

- Because you lay with me?

Do you regret it?

No, but he might shoot me.

I'm scared.

I don't want to die.

What are you talking about?

It was all a dream.

The woman in the tree,

facing away from you.

Let me tell you all about it.

A duel?

He insulted me

using the picture of myself.

I am Yumeji Takehisa,

the famous artist!

Fall in love with me, you women!

I'm Yumeji.

What a joke.
