My Wife Is a Female Ninja Season 2 (Tsuma wa, Kunoichi Saishusho / 妻は、くノ一 ～最終章～)

Matsura Seizan's daughter, princess Seiko has started to show interest toward Hikoma ever since he revealed her secret.

On the other hand, injured Orie has been cared by a dried fish seller, Otsuru.

She got better and started to work for her.

Then she saw Hikoma with a woman she has never seen.

That made Orie uneasy.

Then, Oniwaban Kawamura has found the Matsura emblem inside a ghost ship, which drifted in to Edo bay.

Matsura stars….

He was determined to corner Seizan by that.

This may be able to nail down Matsura Seizan.

Matsura clan has been summoned by a head of the nautical department.

What does that mean?

To deceive watchful eyes from Tenjiku-maru, we let few ghost ships to drift away.

However, one of them ended up floating in to Edo bay.

And then?

They must have found something, which made them believe the ship belongs to Matsura clan.

If this was caused by one of my men’s sloppiness, I am terribly sorry.

What will happen?

I don't know.

Would Tenjiku-Maru be found out?

No idea.

Nonetheless, we will continue preparing Tenjiku-Maru’s departure.

Yes.

Capitao's letter will be done soon.

I heard Saikaiya Senemon is here with someone.

Do you mean, with Sosuke the seaman?

Not sure.

Ah, Hikoma was here, too.

And?

Left.

He, too?

Futaboshi….

Did you need to see him?

Not particularly.

Mansion of Mukai Shogen -

Mukai Shogen is a head of the government nautical department, which deals with anything concerning sea ships.

- Head of the nautical department: Mukai Shogen - Mukai Shogen is a head of the government nautical department, which deals with anything concerning sea ships.

I am afraid that Sir Seizan has been very enthusiastic toward doing business with foreign countries like Holland.

Furthermore, he may be building a ship to precede foreign trade against the low.

- Council secretary: Okudera Kanbei - Please inquire him stringently.

Please inquire him stringently.

Of course. No need for your instruction.

For that, we have someone who wants to be at the inquiry.

Who is it?

Kawamura.

I am Kawamura Shinichiro of the Sakurada Complex.

Oniwaban, aren't you?

The day of the inquiry.

You can’t go ahead of here. Back off!

Open up the road! Back off! Back off!

Let's go.

Back off! Back off!

Reigan-jima -

Here I am for your inquiry.

Why, Sir Seizan yourself is over here?

It is because the man who was supposed to be here got sick suddenly.

Let’s begin.

Sir Seizan. Do you know anything about the ship we have over there?

Let's see?

Oh, this is unmistakably our Matsura-maru!

But, I don't understand!

What do you mean by that?

That ship left Hirado port 10 years ago with full of offerings to Shogun.

Really!

However, it vanished without arriving at Edo.

Of 24 crewmembers, seven were samurais, and 17 were seamen.

Where are they?

No. They were nowhere.

Nowhere?

There was no sign of life inside the ship.

Only few skulls….

What!

Dear Ocean! How could you done such a cruel thing!

You returned our once mighty Matsura-maru in such a miserable and sorrowful condition.

What's going on?

Dear Ocean! Onboard this ship was not only nautical people.

Some were farmers, some were lumbermen, and some were businessmen.

They were all onboard as our clan retainer!

Dear Ocean! They did nothing wrong!

If you decided to return the ship, why didn't you return their lives!?

Sir Seizan!

I totally understand your feeling.

Only people who have close relationship with sea understand this feeling.

Yes.

Sir Seizan, I must ask you.

Recently, there have been few reports of ghost ship sightings like this in the oceans near our country.

Near Nagasaki, a Chinese ship saw one.

A cargo vessel from Osaka found one near Gifu.

At Echizen coastline, a floating ship was witnessed by Matsudaira clan.

Are you saying they are all Matsura ships?

No, however….

Sir Seizan, do you know this?

Oh, the Dutch writing.

Correct.

So?

Do you have any idea what this is?

Did you also find this inside the ship?

No, that is….

Isn't it rude to ask questions, which has nothing to do with nautical issue at our inquiry?

Well, what shall I do with this ship?

Let's see….

We would like to break it apart and give away as firewood.

How commendable.

Thanks.

I must tell you about me.

No need to tell me if you don't want to.

No. I feel bad to know you are intentionally not asking.

If that makes you feel better, I will listen.

Dried fish seller: Tsuru -

I don't know my dad.

Being a single mother, my mom went through hardships and sold me to a show house.

I see.

After that, I was chained to my debt and business rules with no freedom.

I secretly fell in love and he loved me, too.

In love with each other.

However, things didn't go that easy.

So....

So, you run away.

On the way to my love, foreman's scoundrels caught up with me.

Hikoma-san is your love, right?

Why don't you go see him?

Yeah. But, if they were keeping eyes on him, he might get in to trouble.

That's hard.

Otsuru-san, how about your kid?

It's all my fault.

After letting him lost, I have no idea how he is. Whether he is alive or….

Hello!

What, Sensei. Overnighter?

That's why it's done.

What is it?

I heard interesting thing yesterday.

You will be given free firewood at Reigan-jima in few days.

Ah, Tarokichi, then why don't we go get some with push cart?

Yeah!

Oh, you are here.

Ah, what's up?

Departure date of Tenjiku-Maru will be sooner.

Sooner?

Ghost ships I have drifted are starting to show up in places.

Fortunately, they are all at far places from Hirado.

Does that mean….

While everybody is focusing on the ghost ships, let Tenjiku-maru out of Hirado.

Hikoma. Go to Hirado with Sosuke as soon as possible.

However, I still don't know whereabouts of my wife yet.

I can't leave Edo like this….

Hikoma. This is his Excellency's order.

But, he told me to let my wife be onboard the ship.

We can't keep waiting for someone who may not be even found.

Then, then I will!

Excuse me!

May I help you?

I hear you publish newspapers here.

Is it possible to advertise about a missing person?

Of course, as long as we get paid.

You charge money?

Can't do it for free, though.

Ah, I see....

10-Ryo.

What? But this was 30-ryo in Nagasaki….

Value of things like this go down with age.

If you are unsatisfied, please go somewhere else.

Ah, 10-Ryo is fine.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

I have a favor to ask.

I hear it is your business to walk around while announcing things.

That is correct.

Along with your announcement, can you ask around for a missing person's name?

1-ryo.

Senemon?

If you search by using your wife's name, her hunters would know also.

Both Orie and I have been under their watch.

But, if I was able to see Orie, we should be able to find some way to escape.

Hikoma!

In addition, I don't have time.

Please.

Certainly.

Fish, dried fish!

Hey, girl, give me one.

Right away!

It's 10-mon.

Thank you very much.

Ah, sorry.

Hey, wait!

I am terribly sorry.

Oh, you are actually young. Hey, are you OK?

Please, please forgive me.

Let's go rest somewhere.

Have some drink. Hey, this is not for your amusement!

Forgive me….

There, move, move.

Please forgive me.

Don't be forcing her.
