Knightly Advice Page #3

How disloyal of you.

What did you just say, Lord Izu?

You overstep your bounds,

you disloyal vassal.

Quiet. How dare you say such a thing.

When the first Shogun was on his deathbed,

he summoned me along with his monk...

Tenkai and told me

to advise the future Shogun.

That was his wish.

So you are the Shogun's Advisor?

That's right.

And you called me disloyal.

Tell me why. If you are out of line...

It's an honor to advise the Shogun.

It was the first Shogun's kindness

to appoint you.

And you don't understand why he did this.

The Shogun entrusts his

councilors to rule the country.

But when you disagree with the Shogun,

you use your privilege...

as the Shogun's advisor

and appeal directly to him.

And our Shogun

who admires the first Shogun...

hears this as his will and obeys.

Our poor Shogun!

What did you say?

Every time you advise him,

the Shogun says...

I was wrong, I made a mistake.

I'll correct it immediately.

Forgive me.

That's correct.

Don't you understand?

Each time you advise him...

the Shogun is made to look like a fool.

By saying he was wrong,

he acknowledges his deficiency.

The more you are touted as the

moral compass of the Shogunate,

the more the Shogun appears inadequate.

Don't you realize that?

Our Shogun is without an heir.

He's new to the position...

His power is unconsolidated...

There are those happy to hear

that he is a poor Shogun...

and try to take advantage

of the situation.

The flame is too high.

It needs to simmer.

Hey, don't spill that thing.

Tasuke, the old man's late.

Did something happen?

Don't worry. The Shogun's happy with

his advice and they're having a drink.

We have a guest.

- Guest?

- Yes.

You must have the wrong house.

This is Sir Okubo's house.

You must be Mr. Kinai. I know you.

And you're Tasuke.

Your tattoo says...

"My heart is a mirror".

You're famous in Osaka.

Oh, Naka. Come on in.

And thank you for bringing my things.

I'll put them away later...

so just take them inside.

I obey.

Tasuke will give you instructions.

Thanks for your help, Tasuke.

Oh, Mr. Kinai...

please show me around the house.

Oh, there's not a stick of furniture.

You must be very poor.

In a samurai house

this is the waiting room.

By edict, it must be empty.

The room to entertain guests

must be that way.

This is the study.

This must be our first Shogun.

Welcome home.

The master's home.

Boss, what were you doing?

We've all been waiting.

This is an emergency.

Is that so?

This is truly a crisis.

Please come talk to the others.

Who are you, Miss? I don't know you.

Go say hello.

That's too far. Get closer.

Oh, okay. Excuse me.

I'm Yu, daughter of
