49. Um... What is it that you're doing here?Copy !req
50. My good visitor, were you aware that these
two holes symbolize the sun and the moon?Copy !req

63. You may address me as Shige.
The blood of the Heike flows in me.Copy !req
64. I have taken it upon myself to excavate
the buried treasure of the Heike.Copy !req
65. Buried treasure? In a place like this?Copy !req
66. I can only say that it must exist.Copy !req
67. It is for that reason that I cannot
say for certain that it does not.Copy !req
68. Have you ever heard that expression before?Copy !req
69. I must admit, it would be unfair to demand
that you simply take my word for it.Copy !req

90. Perhaps you would care to assist us,
as we are shorthanded at the moment.Copy !req
91. What'll you pay us?Copy !req
92. Ten percent of the treasure once we find it.Copy !req
93. That is gold enough to fund the

109. That map was kinda suspicious, too.Copy !req
110. Anyway, how about something to eat?Copy !req
111. Um, about that...Copy !req
112. You've got some food, right?Copy !req

that blocked the way to the treasure.Copy !req
124. I can only say that it must exist!Copy !req

126. You've got nobody to blame but yourselves.Copy !req

something up just beyond that bedrock.Copy !req

143. Come on, don't the people here
seem a little strange to you?Copy !req
144. I mean, how can they live
off of nothing but wasabi?Copy !req
145. As I recall, wasabi has antibacterial and
preservative properties, but even so...Copy !req
146. Hey, I could swear that those two guys were...Copy !req
147. They're rotting?Copy !req
148. I can't believe it... They're eating wasabi
to keep their bodies from rotting?Copy !req

to forget the troubles of the floating world?Copy !req

151. My goodness. That's quite a
philosophical question that you are asking.Copy !req

154. Master. As expected, we simply
don't have enough manpower.Copy !req

163. Come to think of it,
something has been bothering me.Copy !req

191. Don't you get it? This is the Edo Era!
The Heike and the Genji are both gone!Copy !req
192. What did you say?Copy !req
193. You think you've been digging here for five
years, but you've really been at it for 500!Copy !req
194. Don't you guys even realize
that you died a long time ago?Copy !req
195. You stupid little girl... Just listen
to the nonsense you're spouting!Copy !req
196. Just a minute!Copy !req
197. Take a close look at this.Copy !req
198. This family line here.Copy !req
