Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai Page #4

---

Don't overdo it.

Father.

Don't worry yourself

over trifles.

Father!

A rice cake?

Want one?

You go ahead, Father.

I'll have mine later.

They taste better with someone.

Thank you!

Truthfully,

I'm worried if the roof

is leaking badly.

Thank you for coming.

Not at all.

I haven't seen you for a while,

Squire Motome.

You put this old shed to good use,

I'm pleased to see. Thank you.

I should thank you,

I have taken advantage

of your kindness.

Not at all.

It's all for you,

I had some with Father.

They taste better with someone.

What?

What's so funny?

I'll boil some water.

Father?

What brings you here?

Please.

Thank you.

That cat likes it here.

Is something wrong?

Could you marry Miho for me?

Miho...

Will you marry her?

I have no position.

I can't get married yet.

It's the feeling that counts.

How do you feel about Miho?

Well...

For Miss Miho,

I would give my life!

- Really?

But...

as I am now...

Well spoken, Motome! That's fine.

What matters is how you feel.

That's fine!

Father!

Go on, Motome.

Bring Kingo.

Come on, Miho.

Thank you for treating us

to that sea bream, Father.

I'm sorry it wasn't a bigger one.

Not at all.

Thank you, Father.

Don't be silly.

He's my grandson!

Don't be so formal.

Kingo!

Today is your first solid-food rite.

Go on...

Here.

Want some fish, Kingo?

Here, by a little.

Kingo!

Shall we eat?

We give thanks.

Father,

I'm off to help out

a friend at his school.

Away you go, then.

Goodbye.

You've always been frail.

Take care of yourself.

Father...

don't worry.

We're going fine, as you can see.

Miho...

don't pretend with me.

Whatever I can do, ask me.

All right?

Yes.

It's extortion!

In front of someone's house!

What a nuisance!

- Terrible!

Squire Tsukumo...

Yes?

Remember

that young samurai living over the way?

He did one of those

suicide bluffs.

Suicide bluff?

You haven't heard of them?

No.

We of the townsfolk caste

would never think of it.

A samurai calls on a great lord.

He asks to commit suicide there,

but has no intention of doing it.

Just looking for charity.

It's just a trick.

But It puts the lord

in a very uncomfortable situation.

Miho...

You're back. Sony.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I thought the cat

had finally come home this morning.

I see.

So he came home

to die...

He was lying here

just like he always does.

Go inside. I'll do this.

Miho?

I'm fine.

Is that all?

I'm afraid so.

Unless, of course,

you want to sell your swords...

How dare you!

Here you are.

Three eggs. Thank you.

Eggs!

Fresh-laid eggs!

Slowpoke!

I'm sorry.

Don't worry. You rest.

You shouldn't have.

Don't let that concern you.

Take the medicine,
