Yamagata Masakage How old are you, sire? Fifty-three, as I remember.
Why?
Yamagata Masakage And you still behave like a five-year-old child. People gather, scatter, they go left and right following their interests. That is not surprising. But then I find you like this. With such a narrow mind, you must not dream of rulership. Go back to your own domain. You are a mountain monkey. You should be gathering nuts in the mountains of Kai.
Yamagata Masakage Little Takemaru was a problem, but the horse is worse. It can tell. Only the late lord could ride it.
If the double falls off, everyone will suspect.
Lord Shingen has been ill. He must refrain from riding.
Yamagata Masakage Good idea.
There are many other problems. We must be careful to keep the late lord's intentions.
Atobe Katsusuke Tonight he will have to meet the late lord's mistresses. How will he be with them?
Yamagata Masakage Our master has been ill. He must refrain from riding.
Yamagata Masakage My lord, what do you think that light is that is barring your path?
A rainbow.
Yamagata Masakage You're wrong! It is your late father's instructions not to proceed. He's telling you to stay in your domain and guard it. Those were your father's last words. If you do that, nothing can harm us.
Harm? An ominous word. Since the time of our ancestors, the Takeda have never run from a fight. [to his army] Forward!... Forward!
