Lady Snowblood Page #4

Yuki!

Yuki!

Until the barrel stops naturally

after rolling down the hill...

...you must not become dislodged!

You were not born as a human child.

You were born a child

of the netherworlds...

...who will devote your own life

to avenge another's death.

You must never forget

that this is your duty.

Feel like a beast!

Become a beast!

What are you looking at?!

Look into my eyes!

You must look into my eyes!

You fool! Stand up!

Yuki! What's the matter with you?!

Come on now!

C'mon!

What's with that face?

Step out! On your feet!

At long last...

At long last, I've managed

to come this far...

...my dear mother...

Though born and raised as a

child of the netherworlds...

...human compassion was never

absent from her heart.

Unforgettable memories of her mother

overwhelmed her with sadness...

...yet her journey of vengeance

was far from over.

This day... marked the 20th anniversary

of her mother Sayo's passing.

Chapter Two:
Crying Bamboo

Dolls of the Netherworlds

Not many days later...

...a letter arrived from the leader

of the beggar clan, Matsuemon.

Takemura Banzo, one of the villains

she sought, had been located.

Dad... I'll go sell all the

Chikufujin I've made.

I don't know what to say...

I am always making you

work so hard.

What are you talking about...?

There are so many orders that I

can't keep up with the demand.

Is that so?

Are they selling that well?

Uh-huh.

You saw me?

Why...?

It doesn't matter. They

won't sell anyway.

Here... Keep it.

I made it.

Here you go.

Say... What's your name?

Kobue. Takemura Kobue

Why?

Good-bye.

As usual, here's your three yen.

Please count it.

It's correct, sir.

Oh, one more thing...

...here...

Take it.

Your customer for tonight

is a prefectual officer...

...and he's a very important

client of mine too.

So... we expect the best from you.

I know that, sir.

Hey!

Yessiree! Here we go!

Kobue, is that you?

Heh... it's you guys.

Who did you think it was?

Whassup, good Takemura?

You don't look too well.

We're here today representing

the House of Hamakatsu...

It doesn't look like Kobue

is home yet.

She's out selling her wares.

She's probably shopping on her

way back home.

What's so funny?

Look...

...wake up, why don't you?

Look... do you really think that

people are buying your Chikufujin?!

You dumb a**hole.

Your daughter, you see, is...

...throwing everything she

makes into the sea!

But, Kobue brings home money...

Do you wanna know where that

money comes from?!

Look... eight yen in all.

The due date passed long, long ago.

You got to be kidding me!

It's all your fault to begin with.

You're making her sell herself!

Oh, what a poor thing!
