 田 Week 21: "A liar is the beginning of patience" Episode 116
Thank you for joining us again today.
At the same time that the five of us got through
our "rakugo" performance, Master Sojaku was called to Heaven.
I still believe that the master was enjoying his
journey along the merry road to Hell just like
the story, "Jigoku Bakkei" that my brother apprentices
had performed at the show.
You have my sincere...
What a shock!
I don't know what to say...
I have no idea what he's saying.
I can't do it, after all.
In the past, we talked about it, and we said whoever went
first, the others would come to the funeral and perform
"Kuyami" (Condolence) and make everyone laugh...
So that was a "rakugo" story.
How can I do that?
Master Kangoro...
Who's that?
That's Kagami Kangoro...
One of the top four "rakugo" artists from the past.
He got sick and couldn't talk on stage anymore, so he retired.
I'm so glad you could come.
Kojiro!
Where were you?
Sorry! I was looking for an old newspaper.
Newspaper?
What are you doing at a time like this?
I remembered something important.
Something important?
That's right.
The announcement of the winner for the lottery
ticket that the master asked me to buy for him.
You don't have to look at that now.
I know, but if he won, I want to tell the master about it now.
I'm so sorry! Please don't pay any attention to him.
Kosojaku...
He said you must devote yourself.
So you can take the "ko" from Kosojaku.
Kiyomi...?
Where's Fukusuke?
Fukusuke?
The master said he was going to leave the
lottery ticket under the Fukusuke doll so his
ticket would win the lottery.
Fukusuke is...
Is it behind there?
Wait!
What are you doing, Kojiro?
Kojiro!
I found it!
This is it!
I felt something brush past me.
Will you help me out, Kiyomi?
It's going to win.
I have a feeling it's going to win.
Hurry!
Go on, Wakasa!
I'll look at the numbers in the newspaper, so
you look at the numbers on the lottery ticket.
Hurry! Come on!
Soso...
He said he wants you to carry on Sojaku's style
of "rakugo," and pass it down.
Thank you!
First prize is 100 million yen.
There's no chance he would win that!
What group number is it, Kiyomi?
Group 31...
Thirty-one?
It matches.
Sogen...
He wants you to...
Read the numbers in order from the top...
From the fop?
Reading it from the top is my ritual.
Four...
Four?
It matches.
What's next?
One...
One?
It matches.
What are you going to do if it's a winning ticket?
If it wins, then I'll put it in his coffin.
I'm sorry.
There are still four numbers left.
That's right. It's not that easy to win.
What's next Kiyomi?
Five...
Five?
It matches.
Does that mean there's only three numbers left?
If the three numbers match, then it's a
hundred million yen!
100 million!
Master!
If it's really the winning ticket, will you really put it in his coffin?
I guess...
Do you plan to turn 100 million yen into ashes?
In "rakugo," they say you need to pay a fee to cross
the River Styx, don't they?
That's right. You should put it in the coffin, so
Sojaku can make it safely to Heaven.
But if you burn money, the gods will punish you!
That's right.
But then, what about the fee to cross the River Styx?
Just put fake money in there.
Isn't that from a "rakugo" story?
Sorry.
Calm down, everyone.
We don't know yet if he won it, or not.
That's right. There are still three numbers left.
Are you ready? We have three numbers to go.
Nine!
Two!
- Six! - Eight!
Group 31... 415926?
Group 31... 415928!
It's off by two.
It doesn't even qualify for the one number before or after prize.
Master!
Are you okay?
Are you okay, Kangoro?
Pull yourself together.
So he had a losing ticket.
He's really great, isn't he?
Master Sojaku can make people laugh even after he's gone.
You're the best in Japan, Sojaku!
Kosojaku...
What are you going to do now?
About what?
Everything...
Wakasa and I will find a place to live nearby.
The master had asked us to move out a while ago.
This is your house now. Why don't you move back?
I think you should.
You're right. I should.
That's what I should do, but I won't, after all.
Living here now would be too lonely.
I'll get it.
Kosojaku?
If it's okay with you, Wakasa and I could stay in the annex...
I guess not. I'm sorry.
You fool!
I'm sorry.
Brother Soso... It's the person who's been asking
to be your apprentice.
Tell him not to call anymore.
But...
Just do it.
Soso...
Take him on as your apprentice.
