Um, “The person you wait is already near”?
By Kawamura's order, Orie went inside of Seizan's minor mansion as a kitchen worker.
In contrast, Hikoma started to think a person who saved him from an intruder's blade may be Orie.
Are you going to kill her? If she appears, then I will kill her.
When Hikoma saw a Kunoichi who was killed by Seizan, he became uneasy by a thought of same fate also awaits Orie.

Please be quiet!
OK, listen. These are animals from foreign countries.
This is a tiger.
This is an elephant.
Then a camel.
I know a tiger. That's the one Kato Kiyomasa conquered.
Right. Right.
But, what is that rat like monster thing?
As he said, an elephant. Eh? Does it only look like a rat?
Sensei, did you draw that?
Eh? Um... Anyways.
Height of this elephant will be 2 – 2.5 meters.
This long thing is his nose.
Sensei, don't say a stupid thing.
2 – 2.5 meters will be taller than our house.
Yes, that is correct.
Have you seen them? No, but I have heard about them.
I can't believe that.
Sensei, don't say too much nonsense; else your tongue will be pulled by the hell king.
No, this is no nonsense.
Sakurada complex -

There are many meeting requests for them.
Starting with a government doctor, Takahashi Kageyas. A Dutch scholar, Takashima Shuha. And Matsura Seizan also has requested.
So, what would government do about that?
Matsura Seizan's request will be granted.

Matsura Seizan's request will be granted.
What will retired master of Matsura be talking with Dutch people.
Don't you think it would be a great timing?
Understood.
> Understood.
Understood.
Hey, Tarokichi, how are you?
Oh, everybody is having fun.
Ah, take care. Tarokichi, this way, this way.
Since Futaboshi-san is from Hirado, I thought you must have seen some Dutch people before.
Yes, I have seen them in Nagasaki.
What shall I do if they talked to me?
Next month, Dutch officials from Dejima will be staying at Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi.
I was asked to guard the area.
They are coming to Edo?
So, I thought about learning their words of greeting.
Say it in our own language in a dignified manner.
Do they understand?
Surprisingly, they usually do.
Mr. Harada!
The thief threw the item in to an old well in Ganpukuji-temple and runaway.
What!?
A new case?
Yeah. Kaga Maeda-sama over there was going to take their stuff to an antique store, and then thief took it away.
Stay back! Hey, what's happening?
Theft item has been thrown in to that well.
Huh. What a stupid thief.
What's the matter!?
What's wrong!?
Are you OK!? OK!?
Oh, was there demon inside or something?
Old well accumulates fallen leaves. They may be decomposing and emitting some toxic gas.
I see.
What is it Sensei? A suicide?
No. I am wondering how to retrieve dropped item from a well.
Did you drop money? No. But…
If it's floating, use some netting.
If it was not? Mud-rake, then.
Put a long handle and try to reach the bottom of it.
Yeah.
Ah, there comes Sensei's friend. Ah, Saikaiya-san.
What's wrong?
Nothing. What's up Senemon?
I will be vising Matsura minor mansion tomorrow.
I won't be coming.
This is his Excellency's order.
Honjo Matsura minor mansion -
You are looking for your husband, right?
Which part of Kazusa are you from?
Ohtaki.
I see.
Hey, hey! Another person from Hirado arrived.
A peculiar person is at the pond.
Oh, Juzo.
You grew bigger, huh?
When are you taking me to a castle under the sea?
That's our lord's precious turtle. Ah, Mr. Turtle.
Ah, he is odd.
Eh? You?
Good to know you are doing well, father.
What!?
Ah, he is, um, my adopted son. What!?
He is Saikaiya Senemon.
Yes. I knew so.
> Yes. I knew so.
> I am Futaboshi Ganjiro.
I am Futaboshi Ganjiro.
Well, come up here, you two.
Still, adopting him is...
It is very rare to adopt a son who is older than yourself, though.
I needed someone to hand over Futaboshi household when I decided to retire.
But, this is….
He was the only one who was available among Futaboshi family.
That's why reluctantly became this way.
Anyways, Ganjiro why are you in Edo?
Father, don't ask that way.
What else could it be except for my duty?
Duty?
Since I am a master of the family now, I took over your duty as a nautical specialist and an astrologist.
So, I am here to give my report. Isn't that so, your Excellency?
End of last year, a wrecked foreign ship drifted a shore of Hirado.
Wrecked foreign ship?
We are assessing what we could do with it.
Right? Yes.
Don't your hands get rough from using lot of water?
I have a good remedy.
Why don't you come over to my housing tonight?
I was granted a meeting with Dutch Kapitan who will be staying at Nagasakiya.
Oh, that's good.
It is a good opportunity to learn about western affairs.
What?
Nothing.
Father. What?
Tea.
Ah, yeah. It's nice tea.
Futaboshi. Yes.
Would you like to come with me to Nagasakiya?
Eh? Is that OK?
Don't you want to talk with Dutch people?
Yes! Got it.
I will grant your wish.
Thank you very much!
Father's wish came true, so why don't we have a welcome party tonight?
Welcome for whom?
Ganjiro! How about tomorrow, then.
Idiot! What are you talking about!?
No, no, no, no. Today and tomorrow. Two nights in row is too much.
No one said that!
No, no, no, no. Why, why Ganjiro, anyway?
Father, you are childish.
Please call me again.
What is he thinking about!? That idiot!
He is a peculiar man!
On February 10th, Seizan will leave the mansion.
Bring out anything suspicious.
Ocho. I won't accept negligence any more.
Was it negligence?
At Matsura main mansion, you sent an armature to Oyumi.
From someone named Ocho.
I thought it would be discreet…. As a result, you made Oyumi die.
That was a failure.
Yes.
We were able to figure out frame work of that wrecked ship.
What are you planning to do with that?
Remodel it and use it as ours.
For the business?
That ship could become a nice battle ship with canons and such.
Oh, you are good at pretending innocent, huh.
Fried sweet potatoes. 2 for 4 mon.
Where are you going?
Fried sweet potatoes.
I will buy some for you. I will buy some.
Osato! Osato!
Yes.
Fried sweet potatoes. 2 for 4 mon.
I went by around 2 pm also, but Orie didn't come out.
Male kitchen helper is after Orie and she is restricted.
If I were her, I would kill such a nuisance.
That's your shortsightedness.
Assignment of undercover agent includes letting you go with a flow of assigned site.
No matter how unreasonable, you must forfeit self.
I understand that, but…
Orie can do it.
Kawamura-sama, long time no see.
Jumpei, you are here!
Why don't you show your face?
I don't like brightness.
Here is something I sneaked out of Dutch trading post in Dejima Island.
How was Nagasaki?
Sure enough, Siebold guy is no good.
He is not just an ordinary doctor.
Jumpei, go inside Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi next month.
Nagasakiya? Ah, I see.
Jumpei the dusk, huh.
A creepy one is back.
Seizan and Hikoma are visiting Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi where Dutch officials are staying.
