2. Master, did I distract you?Copy !req
3. Your sketches won't bring in any orders.Copy !req
4. That's true.Copy !req
5. Still, you asked... huh?Copy !req
6. This is me.Copy !req
7. The bulgy eyes.
It really is me.Copy !req
8. And then...Copy !req
9. How much would you accept?Copy !req
10. $20.Copy !req
11. And where is my fee?Copy !req
12. Uh?Copy !req
13. This is me, isn't it?Copy !req
14. Both the model and the
artist contributed.Copy !req
15. Hey.Copy !req
16. Going out.Copy !req
17. Master, say it to me.Copy !req
18. "Bliss it is to love someone."Copy !req
19. I won't.Copy !req
20. It would be nice to hear it.Copy !req
21. I'd like a man to say it to me.Copy !req
22. Waiting.Copy !req
23. Waiting.Copy !req
24. I won't say it.Copy !req
25. Some words can't be uttered.Copy !req
26. Master, you're boring.Copy !req
27. Old as you are, you shouldn't be shy.Copy !req
28. How can you be a writer?Copy !req
29. You're quite a sophist.Copy !req
30. I don't see how me being a writer has
anything to do with it.Copy !req
31. Where should I go?Copy !req
32. Ah... to buy a friend at the fish shop...Copy !req
33. an eel...Copy !req
34. a mackerel...Copy !req
35. a rice fish...Copy !req
36. a frog...Copy !req
37. a ruby fish.Copy !req
38. You'll be back for tea?Copy !req
39. Lately ruffians have been running
wild in the neighbourhood.Copy !req
40. And also...Copy !req
41. I forbid you to sneak in by way of
the second floor.Copy !req
42. Yet staying here I may soon perish...Copy !req
43. bored to death.Copy !req
44. You forgot this.Copy !req
45. I mustn't.Copy !req
46. Thank you.Copy !req
47. Listen.Copy !req
48. At five o'clock...Copy !req
49. the road forks two ways.Copy !req
50. One way leads to the
remains of the day...Copy !req
51. the other to the birth of the night.Copy !req
52. If you get confused at that fork...Copy !req
53. you may not make it back.Copy !req
54. Alright?Copy !req
55. Aye aye, sir, I won't be confused
by the five o'clock forked road.Copy !req
56. I'm going.Copy !req

70. Ouch, it hurts.Copy !req
71. Stray cats, they chased
me in that clear area.Copy !req
72. I know that type of cat.Copy !req
73. I told you there were ruffians.Copy !req
74. What do we do about it?Copy !req
75. In fact,Copy !req
76. I need you to heal it.Copy !req
77. Heal it?Copy !req
78. You heal it with your saliva.Copy !req
79. Your anatomy is so human.Copy !req
80. Are you not displaying your fins?Copy !req
81. My fins will come out when I relax...Copy !req
82. then you'll find a slit
that you'll part gently...Copy !req
83. there you'll apply saliva
until it is thoroughly wet.Copy !req
84. That will heal the wound.Copy !req
85. The split is grievous.Copy !req
86. Human or gold fish, these
spheres are splendid.Copy !req
87. Taking care of your buttocks
I lose track of time.Copy !req
88. One could walk the whole world...Copy !req
89. and never find such a gentle landscape.Copy !req
90. I'd like to draw these too.Copy !req
91. Master, what are you doing?Copy !req
92. A friend of mine said...Copy !req
93. he wanted to take his life reclining
on a backside.Copy !req
94. Wouldn't it be paradise to die on that
soft, smooth surface?Copy !req
95. Nowhere else.Copy !req
96. Enough, you're losing your restraint.Copy !req
97. Well, mind you...Copy !req
98. people reaching the age of 70 or 80Copy !req
99. can still be overwhelmed by lust.Copy !req
100. Simply, they don't confess it.Copy !req
101. Lustfulness is born...Copy !req
102. when inadvertently glancing at beauty.Copy !req
103. This beauty...Copy !req
104. is the origin of art.Copy !req
105. Pervert.Copy !req
106. Speaking of such deep things,Copy !req
107. it's childish.Copy !req
108. Human or goldfish boys are all the same.Copy !req
109. Your sight is blurred...Copy !req
110. and your hearing mislead.Copy !req
111. One must take care of one's heart...Copy !req
112. and in the same measure,
of one's genitals.Copy !req
113. Master.Copy !req
114. Anyway, let us commit
to the task at hand.Copy !req
115. There.Copy !req
116. We're done.Copy !req
117. You closed it beautifully.Copy !req
118. It is even better than before.Copy !req
119. Now I am in a bouncy mood.Copy !req
120. It's like a fire.Copy !req
121. I had a dream yesterday...Copy !req
122. a goldfish swimming
in the vast ocean...Copy !req
123. cruising like a flame...Copy !req
124. A goldfish cruising the ocean.Copy !req
125. Father.Copy !req
126. Father.Copy !req
127. Could you bring my medicine?Copy !req
128. It is past 5 o'clock and
Kazue—chan is not back yet.Copy !req
129. See you tomorrow.Copy !req
130. Good night.Copy !req
131. I'll bring it now.Copy !req
132. Literature, unlike the other
fields of knowledge...Copy !req
133. if it doesn't spring from the heart...Copy !req
134. it is unable to fulfill its mission.Copy !req
135. To the point that sometimes...Copy !req
136. despite the opposition
of parents or relatives...Copy !req
137. even at the risk
of losing family ties...Copy !req
138. some people surrender
to the literary calling.Copy !req
139. My love for literature...Copy !req
140. dragged me up to Tokyo at 21...Copy !req
141. and frankly, I was lost...Copy !req
142. in a state of confusion.Copy !req
143. Until the age of 30, I
didn't get a decent job.Copy !req
144. And without any prospect
or opportunity...Copy !req
145. I kept writing novellas and novels.Copy !req
146. Reaching the age of 30...Copy !req
147. using myself as an example...Copy !req
148. I had been writing novels for 10 years...Copy !req
149. and I felt my well had dried up...Copy !req
150. that I was finished as a writer.Copy !req
151. I felt fettered, hands
and feet, desperate.Copy !req
152. My literary drive...Copy !req
153. I couldn't write a thing.Copy !req
154. I couldn't find any
source of inspiration.Copy !req
155. Reaching that dead-end...Copy !req
156. was extremely painful.Copy !req
157. As I matured...Copy !req
158. I couldn't marvel at anything...Copy !req
159. nothing was worthy of my interest.Copy !req
160. A writer should be
curious about the world...Copy !req
161. My vision suddenly darkened.Copy !req
162. Thank you very much.Copy !req
163. Excuse me... if I ask a silly question.Copy !req
164. Do you take water everywhere you go?Copy !req
165. I need water at all times.Copy !req
166. This gourd belongs to the Master,
doesn't it?Copy !req
167. Long ago I asked the Master
to take a look at my writing.Copy !req
168. That was 15 years ago I believe.Copy !req
169. Say...Copy !req
170. Are you a relative of the Master?Copy !req
171. Rather, I would say
that I help him at home.Copy !req
172. Maybe you could say, I am his secretary.Copy !req
173. Secretary? How old are you?Copy !req
174. How old could I be?Copy !req
175. Probably about 17.Copy !req
176. The way you talk, you're so cute.Copy !req
177. Your clothes are also very cute.Copy !req
178. Does the Master find you cute?Copy !req
179. Are you eating together?Copy !req
180. Sometimes we even sleep together.Copy !req
181. It is so cold, I love it.Copy !req
182. I never felt like this before.Copy !req
183. Don't press too hard.Copy !req
184. You have to stroke my tail very gently.Copy !req
185. That's it.Copy !req
186. The same way water caresses it.Copy !req
187. Say Master...Copy !req
188. do you think that in the whole world...Copy !req
189. anything surpasses this?Copy !req
190. Your tail?Copy !req
191. Sorry, please forget what I just said.Copy !req
192. Well... don't be angry if I ask...Copy !req
193. With the Master...Copy !req
194. do you have a special bond?Copy !req
195. That is, when you go to bed at night...Copy !req
196. does the master embrace you?Copy !req
197. He doesn't.Copy !req
198. If he did he would crush me...Copy !req
199. because I am so small.Copy !req
200. Look at you, you're big enough.Copy !req
201. You're attractive...Copy !req
202. your breasts are full, it seems.Copy !req
203. I can't believe nothing is happening.Copy !req
204. Right, the Master does
so many things to me...Copy !req
205. It's nasty, I tell him
that I don't like it.Copy !req
206. He shouldn't do that to you.Copy !req
207. Maybe it is time to put a stop to it.Copy !req
208. Forgive me if I sound too bold, but...Copy !req
209. are you not his lover?Copy !req
210. Lover?Copy !req
211. - May I take a photo?
- Mmm.Copy !req
212. Ready? There.Copy !req
213. Thank you very much.Copy !req
214. Thank you so much.Copy !req
215. Thank you... Bye-bye.Copy !req
216. I told you not to come.Copy !req
217. If I am not in the audience
you can't even talk.Copy !req
218. Master, we have a visitor.Copy !req
219. Who?Copy !req
220. Are you ready?Copy !req
221. One... two... three... four!Copy !req
222. I'm going.Copy !req
223. Let's go.Copy !req
224. That lady's name was Tamura.Copy !req
225. Who?Copy !req
226. Lady Tamura Yuriko.Copy !req
227. Tamura?Copy !req
228. You should know her.Copy !req
229. She was there just a moment ago.Copy !req
230. What kind of person is she?Copy !req
231. Her kimono is like the
moon in the daytime...Copy !req
232. all white, she is beautiful.Copy !req
233. She has a scar here.Copy !req
234. I know a Lady Tamura Yuriko.Copy !req
235. However...Copy !req
236. I can't figure how she
could appear today...Copy !req
237. since she died...Copy !req
238. twelve years ago.Copy !req
239. It seems her heart stopped.Copy !req
240. She died alone, far from home.Copy !req
241. Her cold body...Copy !req
242. had been stripped of her wristwatch.Copy !req
243. The culprit was finally caught.Copy !req
244. But you don't know her...Copy !req
245. why would someone pull that trick on you?Copy !req
246. What was she writing about?Copy !req
247. Her close male friends...Copy !req
248. she was scared of their growing intimacy.Copy !req
249. That style of writing.Copy !req
250. Master was fascinated by it?Copy !req
251. Look, the water has gotten dirty.Copy !req
252. The poor little things.
Change the water, please.Copy !req
253. Sorry, it skipped my mind today.Copy !req
254. You are lying.Copy !req
255. The little goldfish say
this water is a week old.Copy !req
256. When you change it, please
add a pinch of salt.Copy !req
257. Salt?Copy !req
258. Don't you love salt little guys?Copy !req
259. They're exhausted, just a
sprinkle will do them good.Copy !req
260. Alright, let's go.Copy !req
261. I look at the long
dresses of my friends...Copy !req
262. and I understand why you find me so cute.Copy !req
263. They laughed.Copy !req
264. Did you hear it?Copy !req
265. Come on.Copy !req
266. I am too old.Copy !req
267. Wait.Copy !req
268. Wait.Copy !req
269. Master, Lady Yuriko said...Copy !req
270. that you are seeking pleasure.Copy !req
271. Pleasure?Copy !req
272. The kind lovers engage in.Copy !req
273. Is that true?Copy !req
274. Enough.Copy !req
275. People have spread all
sorts of rumors about me.Copy !req
276. When you saw Lady Yuriko...Copy !req
277. your eyes softened.Copy !req
278. And the Lady too...Copy !req
279. at that moment, wafted,
the scent of flowers.Copy !req
280. Master, please take me as your lover.Copy !req
281. Lover?Copy !req
282. It's good thing.Copy !req
283. A month for women is like a day for me.Copy !req
284. In a blink they turn into grandmas.Copy !req
285. You should make the
most of your short life, right.Copy !req
286. Would you be my lover or not?Copy !req
287. You know you'll die soon...Copy !req
288. then I'll immediately
jump into your mouth...Copy !req
289. and tear out your gold teeth.Copy !req
290. I'll have them made into jewels.Copy !req
291. Just die, you'll see.Copy !req
292. My mouth will stay alive and swallow you.Copy !req
293. Oh! So the dead man
can still work his mouth...Copy !req
294. the strength remains to control me, eh?Copy !req
295. As one gets old...Copy !req
296. the mind immerses itself in fantasies.Copy !req
297. Myself, I am about to...Copy !req
298. sleep with a goldfish.Copy !req
299. Alright then...Copy !req
300. It is a deal, now we are lovers.Copy !req
301. And now you must say you love me.Copy !req
302. Now, I'll receive so many presents.Copy !req
303. A necklace.Copy !req
304. A bag.Copy !req
305. A watch.Copy !req
306. Dresses.Copy !req
307. Look Master...Copy !req
308. I would swim towards you
and then swiftly upward...Copy !req
309. up to your mouth where I'd stop...Copy !req
310. and there we'd kiss, wouldn't we?Copy !req
311. How should I address you, now?Copy !req
312. Let's give you a name.Copy !req
313. Wait.Copy !req
314. Akai Akako.Copy !req
315. "Red skinned baby"?Copy !req
316. The red one, eh?Copy !req
317. It is perfect.Copy !req
318. When we kiss I'd like you to suck me in.Copy !req
319. This way I'll jump into your
stomach for a spin and then return.Copy !req
320. Are you ready?Copy !req
321. Goldfish are always passionate.Copy !req
322. Even our inside is all red.Copy !req
323. Tonight, will be my bridal night.Copy !req
324. Take particular care of me.Copy !req
325. You went to the second floor.Copy !req
326. I am sorry.Copy !req
327. Those big eyes...Copy !req
328. You got scared?Copy !req
329. The Lady of the house never
goes to the second floor?Copy !req
330. Right.Copy !req
331. She has been asleep for 19 years.Copy !req
332. You know...Copy !req
333. I dreamed about Akutagawa.Copy !req
334. The author of the novel Rashomon?Copy !req
335. Yes.Copy !req
336. After the Great Tokyo earthquake,
we came back to the village...Copy !req
337. and he was there on a trip.Copy !req
338. Let's go to that place.Copy !req
339. That was in 1923.Copy !req
340. Three years before he committed suicide.Copy !req
341. After him, many writers
committed suicide.Copy !req
342. But he was the only
one who died that way.Copy !req
343. "A drop at the tip of my nose."Copy !req
344. I don't understand his last verse...Copy !req
345. but I think his death...Copy !req
346. was a pure literary act.Copy !req
347. If he saw me thus with a goldfish...Copy !req
348. certainly...Copy !req
349. Mr. Akutagawa...Copy !req
350. would laugh at me.Copy !req
351. I want to stay within your arms...Copy !req
352. I dread the moment I
will have to leave.Copy !req
353. Just as if I am pregnant with you.Copy !req
354. Face to face...
even in death I want to see Master.Copy !req
355. How can a goldfish become like this?Copy !req
356. I don't want you to die.Copy !req
357. SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO GOLDFISHCopy !req
358. - Well, see you, Ta-chan.
- OK, OK.Copy !req
359. - Come again.
- 'ByeCopy !req
360. Goldfish here. I'm selling goldfish.Copy !req
361. Outstanding goldfish.Copy !req
362. Hi, Three-Year-Old.Copy !req
363. Long time no see, Sir.Copy !req
364. You won the jackpot...Copy !req
365. grandpa is about to kick the bucket...Copy !req
366. you'll be there to collect.Copy !req
367. The Master is not about to die.Copy !req
368. And he does everything I tell him.Copy !req
369. If he doesn't care for you -
you'll be weakened.Copy !req
370. The Three-Year-Old
is the lady of the house,Copy !req
371. yet you've only just started in life.Copy !req
372. Listen.Copy !req
373. Uh?Copy !req
374. Could you look behind me?Copy !req
375. Who is that?Copy !req
376. I'll tell you later.Copy !req
377. Let me dive back home for an instant.Copy !req
378. Alright.Copy !req
379. Welcome.Copy !req
380. So beautiful, yet cute.Copy !req
381. One that swims or one that flies.Copy !req
382. They swim like underwater fireworks.Copy !req
383. Would you like to buy a cute goldfish?Copy !req
384. No.Copy !req
385. A baby goldfish, a goldfish princess...Copy !req
386. You scared me.Copy !req
387. My heart skipped a beat.Copy !req
388. Serves you right, why do you follow me?Copy !req
389. It is a coincidence.Copy !req
390. A coincidence, really?Copy !req
391. And our previous encounter?Copy !req
392. I am sorry, I was rude that day.Copy !req
393. Tell me Lady...Copy !req
394. You are a ghost, aren't you?Copy !req
395. In olden days, ghosts would
stay under willow trees...Copy !req
396. But this modern ghost, wanders
about at a goldfish shop in the daytime.Copy !req
397. A beautiful ghost is always welcome.Copy !req
398. You shouldn't interfere, Sir.Copy !req
399. And you're not a ghost?Copy !req
400. I am living straightforwardly.Copy !req
401. You've so changed, such a lady.Copy !req
402. What is this?Copy !req
403. Oh'.!Copy !req
404. What are you?Copy !req
405. Originally, I was just a $3 goldfish.Copy !req
406. The Master plays with it too.Copy !req
407. He dotes on me so much, in my hands
he's like a puppy.Copy !req
408. He is like that.Copy !req
409. He has a little fish in a bowl...Copy !req
410. and watches it all day long.Copy !req
411. You seem to know him.Copy !req
412. I've known him much longer than you have.Copy !req
413. Modern ghosts are such hateful gossips.Copy !req
414. Forgive me for asking but...Copy !req
415. isn't your species a descendant
of the base carassius?Copy !req
416. A crucian carp, a freshwater fish family
Cyprinidae. Those that sieve the bottoms of muddy rivers.Copy !req
417. A crucian carp,
a freshwater fish family Cyprinidae.Copy !req
418. A genetic mutation in carp was discovered
in China about 1700 years ago.Copy !req
419. A genetic mutation in carp was discovered in
China about 1700 years ago. You have so (avowed...Copy !req
420. You have so evolved...Copy !req
421. And these mutated goldfish were the first
goldfish in Japan. You have so evolved...Copy !req
422. And these mutated goldfish
were the first goldfish in Japan.Copy !req
423. And these mutated goldfish were the first
goldfish in Japan. To become what you are now.Copy !req
424. And these mutated goldfish
were the first goldfish in Japan.Copy !req
425. The metallic varieties were
eliminated in favour of the mutated goldfish.Copy !req

goldfish. I have to tell you, the Master and I love each other now.Copy !req
427. I have to tell you, the Master
and I love each other now.Copy !req
428. What? Are you serious?Copy !req
429. Such a bond is against nature...Copy !req
430. one could call you a monster.Copy !req
431. The jealous monster is angry...Copy !req
432. Jealousy, jealousy.Copy !req
433. It is not like that...Copy !req
434. I can't control where I'll appear next.Copy !req
435. I do believe you know what you're doing.Copy !req
436. Don't you ever have that feeling...Copy !req
437. that you so dearly want to meet someone?Copy !req
438. For me, it causes me to suddenly
appear near that person.Copy !req
439. There.Copy !req
440. Thank you.Copy !req
441. He is going to the cinema,Copy !req
442. he goes several times a week.Copy !req
443. Just as I thought, you're a child.Copy !req
444. The Master hasn't watched
a movie for two months.Copy !req
445. Two months?Copy !req
446. Master, you are so bad.Copy !req
447. The song a woman sings
when she is free...Copy !req
448. is beauty itself.Copy !req
449. I always want more of it.Copy !req
450. Thank you.Copy !req
451. Quickly, come in.Copy !req
452. Soon night will come.Copy !req
453. It is 5 o'clock.Copy !req
454. The forked road.Copy !req
455. The Master tells the
same story to all of us.Copy !req
456. Lady, could you show me the way?Copy !req
457. Don't forget to leave
a trail of droplets.Copy !req
458. That way you'll be able to return.Copy !req
459. You see, the Master can't say no.Copy !req
460. Especially to a lady.Copy !req
461. Story of Romances, Tamura YurikoCopy !req
462. It is possible that, that lady...Copy !req
463. I wish I hadn't become his lover.Copy !req
464. Oh, you did?Copy !req
465. I spent my days thinking about a man.Copy !req
466. I can't stand it anymore.Copy !req
467. I can't stand it.Copy !req
468. Exactly... you're right.Copy !req
469. Men believe women are obsessed with men.Copy !req
470. They're wrong.Copy !req
471. When we wash our face in the morning.Copy !req
472. When we put makeup on.Copy !req
473. During a walk, a meal...Copy !req
474. it is theoretical butCopy !req
475. even in the coffin.Copy !req
476. We're always thinking about them.Copy !req
477. Even as a ghost it is still true?Copy !req
478. When did their romance start?Copy !req
479. I came back to this world...Copy !req
480. exactly two months ago.Copy !req
481. It seemed someone
strongly wished to see me.Copy !req
482. The Master?Copy !req
483. I don't know.Copy !req
484. But...Copy !req
485. wherever the Master hides...Copy !req
486. I can't enter.Copy !req
487. He is hiding?Copy !req
488. For example, you...Copy !req
489. or the apartment earlier...Copy !req
490. when a place is secret.Copy !req
491. What happened to the
Master two months ago?Copy !req
492. What men do...Copy !req
493. when they feel lonely...Copy !req
494. they do not seek comfort
with just one woman.Copy !req
495. It is a novel about a man who
sees three women in turn.Copy !req
496. One cannot just make up such
a story, it requires experience.Copy !req
497. My mother was a concubine.Copy !req
498. My father had many women.Copy !req
499. My mother's children were illegitimate.Copy !req
500. Whomever I write about, I meet them
in my heart, I talk to them.Copy !req
501. This is the only experience I have.Copy !req
502. Master.Copy !req
503. Yes?Copy !req
504. What happened two months ago?Copy !req
505. Well, I met you.Copy !req
506. Look...Copy !req
507. You were walking under that apricot tree.Copy !req
508. I called you...Copy !req
509. You told me you'd taken this shape...Copy !req
510. and that you'd never been so happy.Copy !req
511. That's how I met my cute little princess.Copy !req
512. That was two months ago.Copy !req
513. I'm going out.Copy !req
514. Eh?Copy !req
515. Where are you going?Copy !req
516. The cinema.Copy !req
517. What are you going to watch?Copy !req
518. Haven't decided yet.Copy !req
519. Take me with you.Copy !req
520. CinemaScope is not good for you...Copy !req
521. your eyes would spin frantically...Copy !req
522. you'd have dizzy spells.Copy !req
523. A perfect day for the cinema.Copy !req
524. Be a nice girlfish.Copy !req
525. Good morning.Copy !req
526. Good morning.Copy !req
527. Miss, please come.Copy !req
528. You look so pretty today.Copy !req
529. Please, have a look.Copy !req
530. It is a female red pearl.Copy !req
531. She is alone.Copy !req
532. Such a beautiful flower...Copy !req
533. that has no opportunity to bloom.Copy !req
534. Since you look so pretty...Copy !req
535. you'll have a special price.Copy !req
536. Her face is so charming.Copy !req
537. Her cute little round behind, so bouncy.Copy !req
538. You have good taste.Copy !req
539. Right, this ass...Copy !req
540. forgive my language...Copy !req
541. these charming buttocks...Copy !req
542. even Brigitte Bardot would be envious.Copy !req
543. "If I died..."Copy !req
544. "I want to be washed away in a river."Copy !req
545. That is what she said.Copy !req
546. When you've raised
goldfish all your life...Copy !req
547. you can understand their language.Copy !req
548. Some people write about her.Copy !req
549. Good Luck.Copy !req
550. You'll succeed.Copy !req
551. Little Three-Year-Old.Copy !req
552. Welcome.Copy !req
553. Our project is proceeding well.Copy !req
554. The road will probably
be macadamised this year.Copy !req
555. Tack-a-tam-tack-a-tam.Copy !req
556. Also the asphalt road will bring
a new air to the town.Copy !req
557. For you.Copy !req
558. Thank you.Copy !req
559. Would you like green tea?Copy !req
560. I'd rather have barley tea.Copy !req
561. Sure.Copy !req
562. I just bought her.Copy !req
563. Isn't it very similar?Copy !req
564. 'Bitter Honey' novelCopy !req
565. Exactly the same.Copy !req
566. Surprisingly, they are
sensitive creatures.Copy !req
567. Handle her with care.Copy !req
568. Alright.Copy !req
569. When she gets weak...Copy !req
570. touch her tail gently.Copy !req
571. Alright.Copy !req
572. The girl is both cute and strange...Copy !req
573. sometimes she says things that are amazing
but also frightening.Copy !req
574. I had you in mind.Copy !req
575. I don't believe you.Copy !req
576. I don't have that girlish attitude.Copy !req
577. But you influenced me.Copy !req
578. As I get old I come
closer to my youth...Copy !req
579. I feel so blessed.Copy !req
580. I owe it to you.Copy !req
581. The smile you're always presenting to me.Copy !req
582. The watchmaker's daughter...Copy !req
583. My late sister...Copy !req
584. a girl I loved when I was young...Copy !req
585. All of them...Copy !req
586. were a reflection of you.Copy !req
587. But we've just met.Copy !req
588. I would die for you, Master.Copy !req
589. Master.Copy !req
590. Oh...Copy !req
591. Today is a lucky day!Copy !req
592. Let's do it.Copy !req
593. Master... Master.Copy !req
594. Let me be your destiny.Copy !req
595. For you... wait.Copy !req
596. It hurts, it hurts.Copy !req
597. It hurts.Copy !req
598. What is this doing here?Copy !req
599. I'm sorry.Copy !req
600. Despite your delicate appearance...Copy !req
601. you, young women are bullies.Copy !req
602. You may have ruined my last erection.Copy !req
603. I'm really sorry.Copy !req
604. It is your fault.Copy !req
605. Enough, I want to go back.Copy !req
606. And this goldfish.Copy !req
607. Send her back.Copy !req
608. She makes me uncomfortable.Copy !req
609. I'm sorry.Copy !req
610. Why was she crying?Copy !req
611. She was like a flower born out of the dust.Copy !req
612. Is she alone at night?Copy !req
613. She falls asleep at night...Copy !req
614. thinking about the Master.Copy !req
615. I hate loneliness.Copy !req
616. I've always been alone.Copy !req
617. And in the end, the Master will be too.Copy !req
618. Did the Master strip you of your watch?Copy !req
619. No, the person who offered it to me, did.Copy !req
620. That person...Copy !req
621. After stealing my watch...Copy !req
622. offered it to another woman.Copy !req
623. He made her happy.Copy !req
624. Until this day she ignores that it is mine.Copy !req
625. That's so sad.Copy !req
626. This is the world.Copy !req
627. I will heal you.Copy !req
628. I healed the Master's ulcer, I licked him.Copy !req
629. You're so warm.Copy !req
630. I have a great idea.Copy !req
631. Would you become my friend?Copy !req
632. Your friend?Copy !req
633. I am a ghost.Copy !req
634. We can't meddle with people.Copy !req
635. But you're not cold, you're quite warm.Copy !req
636. Your chest is also warm.Copy !req
637. Right.Copy !req
638. Let us be friends.Copy !req
639. Let us play. What game would you like?Copy !req
640. Look at this.Copy !req
641. DEATH AND TAXESCopy !req
642. Good morning.Copy !req
643. You're back really late.Copy !req
644. You won't even greet me?Copy !req
645. Master, you're a perverted idiot.Copy !req
646. How can you keep a straight
face after kissing that girl?Copy !req
647. What should I do?Copy !req
648. It's not like we've been together
for a day or two.Copy !req
649. She is a poor girl.Copy !req
650. Her father died in the war.Copy !req
651. Her name is Maruko.Copy !req
652. I don't want to hear her name.Copy !req
653. You sneaked into her home...Copy !req
654. although she took you
in with such kindness,Copy !req
655. you're showing ingratitude.Copy !req
656. Don't try to confuse me,
I know what you did.Copy !req
657. I'll tell it to the Lady.Copy !req
658. Absurd. How does a
goldfish threaten people?Copy !req
659. That is unheard of.Copy !req
660. You serve all your women the same lies...Copy !req
661. I'm not a kid anymore.Copy !req
662. From a writer, that is so undignified.Copy !req
663. 'Undignified'? Such a big
word in your little mouth.Copy !req
664. Because I'm just a girlfish?Copy !req
665. These are yours, I've read them all.Copy !req
666. The Master's books are so exciting...Copy !req
667. filled with fictitious
experiences and characters.Copy !req
668. Unlike you I have great achievements.Copy !req
669. Where's your humility?Copy !req
670. Literature requires one
to believe in oneself.Copy !req
671. Splendid.Copy !req
672. You give eminent lectures for
an audience of students...Copy !req
673. while I'm just a small
fish hiding under a rock.Copy !req
674. Now you feel good about yourself...Copy !req
675. isolated in your little bubble.Copy !req
676. Sorry to impose.Copy !req
677. You'd want me to remain
a fictitious character...Copy !req
678. but the little goldfish is poisoning
your life, serves you right.Copy !req
679. You found the one fish
who won't tolerate your game.Copy !req
680. Your feet are heavy and rough...Copy !req
681. you can't even swim with these.Copy !req
682. Your breath smells like putrid water.Copy !req
683. You have age spots all over your belly.Copy !req
684. I'll reincarnate as a whale.Copy !req
685. I'll take you on my back.Copy !req
686. I'll take you for a nap on the ocean.Copy !req
687. You won't be able to
get back to that woman.Copy !req
688. You'll die on my back.Copy !req
689. And then I'll be happy.Copy !req
690. I love you so much.Copy !req
691. It's all white.Copy !req
692. Tuberculosis...Copy !req
693. I'll refer you to the
university hospital...Copy !req
694. go there soon.Copy !req
695. I have work to do.Copy !req
696. Famous writers have ample time.Copy !req
697. You won't have to wait in line...Copy !req
698. you'll have the rest of
the day for your work.Copy !req
699. We survived the Great Earthquake
and the American raids.Copy !req
700. The remainder of our lives is a bonus...Copy !req
701. don't you think?Copy !req
702. Master.Copy !req
703. Would you like green tea?Copy !req
704. Barley tea please.Copy !req
705. Thank you.Copy !req
706. Master.Copy !req
707. I need to tell you something.Copy !req
708. I want a child with you.Copy !req
709. A goldfish will impregnate me
but the offspring will be your child.Copy !req
710. You will go purchase a goldfish...Copy !req
711. with whom I will mate.Copy !req
712. Yuriko did not leave anything behind...Copy !req
713. - but I want...
- No.Copy !req
714. Why?Copy !req
715. This is not in my plans.Copy !req
716. Plans are what we make them.Copy !req
717. Figure it out...Copy !req
718. while it grows in here...Copy !req
719. every day, every night, you
could massage it, stroke it.Copy !req
720. And if you give it much love...Copy !req
721. that egg will turn into a child
which will look just like you.Copy !req
722. You'll have to raise
him with much care...Copy !req
723. and feed him water fleas.Copy !req
724. Your mind is outside of human thought.Copy !req
725. Anyway, I don't want you to mate.Copy !req
726. I'll do it without your consent.Copy !req
727. Then don't even consult me.Copy !req
728. Goldfish mating is none of my business.Copy !req
729. However...Copy !req
730. it hurts my feelings.Copy !req
731. How about my feelings?Copy !req
732. Your feelings are taking you too far.Copy !req
733. You mean, you wouldn't
want to raise an ugly fish.Copy !req
734. Are you saying we are ugly?Copy !req
735. - You don't find me cute anymore?
- Of course I do.Copy !req
736. Find yourself a younger girlfish...Copy !req
737. if I've grown too old for your taste.Copy !req
738. It's not like that.Copy !req
739. You should look at
yourself in the mirror...Copy !req
740. you'll see your flaccid ass...Copy !req
741. and you'll go hang yourself.Copy !req
742. This is too much.Copy !req
743. You asked a question, so let me answer.Copy !req
744. Did you not tacitly answer me?Copy !req
745. Are you going to take a younger girlfish?Copy !req
746. I won't...Copy !req
747. ever again in my life.Copy !req
748. You're the only one.Copy !req
749. Where are you going?Copy !req
750. I'll go find myself a mate.Copy !req
751. Find a mate?Copy !req
752. I'll do it.Copy !req
753. I am going to mate.Copy !req
754. Just pray that I'll
find a handsome fish.Copy !req
755. Don't go mate.Copy !req
756. Don't.Copy !req
757. You can't mate...Copy !req
758. No, don't, don't mate.Copy !req
759. - "I'll find myself a mate."
- "Find a mate?"Copy !req
760. I will die soon.Copy !req
761. When you die has nothing to do with me.Copy !req
762. Look at you...Copy !req
763. You look even sicker than I do.Copy !req
764. The poor girl died of tuberculosis at 26.Copy !req
765. I know.Copy !req
766. That is why I am here.Copy !req
767. She was born during the earthquake...Copy !req
768. How is your daughter?Copy !req
769. She is fine now.Copy !req
770. You wrote a best-seller
depicting your divorce from her.Copy !req
771. A shameless piece of work.Copy !req
772. Mr. Akutagawa.Copy !req
773. How is the gentleman, on the other side?Copy !req
774. I saw him once.Copy !req
775. As usual he was very argumentative.Copy !req
776. It is hard to believe he's dead.Copy !req
777. Do you want to know what he said about you?Copy !req
778. Tell me.Copy !req
779. "He was better than me at that time."Copy !req
780. The resentment you
harboured concerning me...Copy !req
781. was still fresh in my heart.Copy !req
782. It crucified me like Christ,
opening a new way.Copy !req
783. Very kind of you.Copy !req
784. You disdained me.Copy !req
785. And that disdain...Copy !req
786. even after you died...Copy !req
787. I could still feel it about me.Copy !req
788. It helped me break
through my limitations.Copy !req
789. You were so far above me, unreachable.Copy !req
790. I had to get there...Copy !req
791. I wrote with that goal in mind.Copy !req
792. And that...Copy !req
793. was a beacon for me.Copy !req
794. I owe it to this motivation...Copy !req
795. that I am still writing today.Copy !req
796. I am grateful.Copy !req
797. I am not sure I can grasp what you mean.Copy !req
798. Let us have a drink.Copy !req
799. The only way for you is upward.Copy !req
800. I know.Copy !req
801. I will climb, you'll see.Copy !req
802. I'll show you.Copy !req
803. With my words...Copy !req
804. with literature.Copy !req
805. I still have good years in me.Copy !req
806. You've always had this
strength to brazen it out.Copy !req
807. Your determination does you honour...Copy !req
808. but I've heard, "One can't
escape death and taxes".Copy !req
809. MY LIFE IS OVERCopy !req
810. You should go to the hospital soon.Copy !req
811. Right.Copy !req
812. The days are getting shorter.Copy !req
813. Right.Copy !req
814. 'Right', 'right', don't you have
something meaningful to say?Copy !req
815. Right.Copy !req
816. I hear it.Copy !req
817. It is Lady Tamura.Copy !req
818. She is calling you.Copy !req
819. Do you hear her beautiful voice?Copy !req
820. She is coming.Copy !req
821. Lately...Copy !req
822. I can feel her presence every evening.Copy !req
823. Listen.Copy !req
824. Lady?Copy !req
825. Lady Tamura.Copy !req
826. Lady, wait.Copy !req
827. Lady.Copy !req
828. You finally came to visit us.Copy !req
829. I am sorry, my body
appeared here of its own will.Copy !req
830. Goodness.Copy !req
831. I am due in spring.Copy !req
832. The egg is full.Copy !req
833. Really? Congratulations.Copy !req
834. Thank you.Copy !req
835. Please Lady, come with me.Copy !req
836. No... I can't.Copy !req
837. It is completely fine...Copy !req
838. The Master and I will welcome you.Copy !req
839. I am grateful for your kindness...Copy !req
840. but I have business to...Copy !req
841. You can protest all you like...Copy !req
842. but I am bringing you home.Copy !req
843. But...Copy !req
844. Lady.Copy !req
845. Alright, then.Copy !req
846. I'll greet him today.Copy !req
847. Really?Copy !req
848. I'll go and tell the Master.Copy !req
849. Then...Copy !req
850. Could I you borrow your lipstick?Copy !req
851. I cannot show the Master
such a pale complexion.Copy !req
852. Lipstick is the highlight of a woman.Copy !req
853. Please wait, I'll bring it now.Copy !req
854. Wait right here.Copy !req
855. Please wait.Copy !req
856. Tell me.Copy !req
857. You've lost that childish attitude.Copy !req
858. Because...Copy !req
859. soon I'll be a mother.Copy !req
860. Master.Copy !req
861. Please, greet her.Copy !req
862. She is Tamura Yuriko.Copy !req
863. Are you shy?Copy !req
864. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
865. Let's go.Copy !req
866. Let's go.Copy !req
867. This woman does not exist.Copy !req
868. What are you saying?Copy !req
869. You see...Copy !req
870. you read about Lady Tamura
in one of my texts.Copy !req
871. Thus you concocted that ghost.Copy !req
872. There is no limit to your silliness.Copy !req
873. Then...Copy !req
874. who is standing there?Copy !req
875. You see, people...Copy !req
876. have a talent to give flesh...Copy !req
877. to the fantasies in their mind.Copy !req
878. Especially...Copy !req
879. writers.Copy !req
880. Now, let's go back.Copy !req
881. The sun aggravates my condition.Copy !req
882. Lady, wait.Copy !req
883. You said you wanted a baby.Copy !req
884. Then take full responsibility.Copy !req
885. Lady, wait.Copy !req
886. Lady.Copy !req
887. Lady, wait.Copy !req
888. You know...Copy !req
889. I always thought the Master was
summoning me into this world.Copy !req
890. I thought he wanted to see me.Copy !req
891. Of course, he wants to see you.Copy !req
892. That was a fantasy of mine.Copy !req
893. But now I fully understand.Copy !req
894. You're wrong.Copy !req
895. The Master is shy...Copy !req
896. he is an idiot...Copy !req
897. a perfect idiot.Copy !req
898. Why is there so much misery?Copy !req
899. Yet a woman has been blessed...Copy !req
900. right here.Copy !req
901. When I...Copy !req
902. was alive, maybe I was a ghost.Copy !req
903. Give birth to a healthy baby.Copy !req
904. Lady.Copy !req
905. Lady Tamura.Copy !req
906. When the weather is warm...Copy !req
907. please visit me again.Copy !req
908. I'll be there...Copy !req
909. waiting for you.Copy !req
910. I'll wait for you.Copy !req
911. Don't forget.Copy !req
912. What are you doing?Copy !req
913. I enjoyed your hospitality.Copy !req
914. I am leaving this house.Copy !req
915. It is a silly decision.Copy !req
916. Wait.Copy !req
917. Wait.Copy !req
918. Wait... wait.Copy !req
919. Wait.Copy !req
920. You're a wild girlfish.Copy !req
921. If I am wild, what are you?Copy !req
922. A disgusting grandpa
coughing his lungs out!Copy !req
923. Don't despise old age...Copy !req
924. It is no big deal!Copy !req
925. People always said I was finished...Copy !req
926. and I always came back!Copy !req
927. I have nothing to fear!Copy !req
928. You should be ashamed!Copy !req
929. Stupid girl.Copy !req
930. This time the story
ends like a fairy tale.Copy !req
931. You won't have the last word.Copy !req
932. Despite your actions, it all ends well.Copy !req
933. Tying the knot with a goldfish...Copy !req
934. a long blissful union!Copy !req
935. Suit yourself!Copy !req
936. I will go now!Copy !req
937. Are you leaving?Copy !req
938. Didn't I give you everything you wanted?Copy !req
939. Didn't I cherish you and your egg.Copy !req
940. Were you not happy?Copy !req
941. You told me what to be...Copy !req
942. I acted according to your expectations...Copy !req
943. I did not realize...Copy !req
944. that it wasn't my true self.Copy !req
945. You don't have a self at all!Copy !req
946. I am not your puppet!Copy !req
947. So, what are you...Copy !req
948. Akai Akako?Copy !req
949. You are just a small goldfish in a bowl.Copy !req
950. The life you live...Copy !req
