GO SEPPUKU YOURSELVES

How are you doing today?

Feverish?

Got money for medicine? Guess not.

How about you?

Take the medicine and get well,

or leave it and kick the bucket.

You know what that means? Hell.

You hear?

Oh dear, you're getting worse by day.

And you.

The epidemic got you, too?

What you need, is money for medicine.

No money, tough luck.

You're still young.

Eat some fish, fart, and sleep. That should sort you out.

Medicine...

Money first.

Money, money, money, money is the enemy of the times.

Oh dear, Danbe, you're looking a little worse for wear.

Be conscious about your looks when you've passed forty, I say.

I'm bored of hearing your usual balderdash.

What's wrong? Is it about the epidemic palaver?

Since the well's been contaminated,

the magistrate's guards are eradicating lawbreakers by beheading

or ordering them to do seppuku.

They'll come for you.

Me?

I'm just a medicine seller.

Who'd benefit from the epidemic.

I see... it's like that?

The culprit must be evil.

But I can see their motives.

Our avaricious magistrate are paying for

their own wrongdoings at last.

Since when do you speak like a wise man, huh?

I'm a pebble in a riverbed.

All edges get rounded over time.

The well nearby is contaminated, too.

Any ideas?

A demon, I heard.

No one can be that savage unless

it's a demon or an evil spirit.

I'm looking for that demon.

An outsider, I wager.

I'm a samurai.

Killing people is what I do.

Raikan Kichiemon.

As the punishment for poisoning the town's wells,

I order you to commit seppuku.

Like I said many times,

I know nothing about that poison.

Shame on you, quibbleing until the end.

A woman said she saw you.

You spread the disease on purpose.

Did you not, Raikan?

You seem so eager to watch me commit seppuku.

Exasperating I may,

yet I'd seppuku myself if you insist.

The world today is not worth living for.
