[Rocking back and forth to simulate walking] ...What's wrong with my wife? Why does she want me to take Gonsuke?
[He starts suddenly and looks behind him.]
Gon... Gonsuke, why are you holding on to my sleeves?
[clinging on] Hehehehehe... Danna-sama~! I will not let go of your sleeves~! Don't worry about me. Don't worry. Just walk. Walk to the girl's house, ya cheater!
What!? Let go, Gonsuke! What are you doing? What are you talking about? [He tries to shake Gonsuke off, then abruptly stops and slowly folds his arms.] ...Did my wife say anything to you before we left the house?
....Noooo. Nothing, nothing, nothing.
I'm sure... she told you something. She probably gave you some money too. Not too little, but enough... like one yen, didn't she?
[His face crumbles first in shock, then in dismay.] Were you watching that...? [His voice cracks as he slowly reaches under his coat.] Oh... I'll give this money back to you then...
Oh, no no, Gonsuke, I don't want your one yen. You keep that, you keep that. So she gave you one yen, huh? [He reaches into his kimono.] In that case, I will give you... two yen.
Danna-sama...! You're giving me two yen!? [He quickly slips the money under his coat.] Then, I'm all on your side now!
Very good, that's very good. Now, I want you to go home and tell my wife that when we were crossing the bridge, we saw Yamada-san. We talked about business and it seemed like everything went well, so we went to a geisha house and celebrated. We drank sake and we partied. And then, since the weather was nice, we went out to the riverside, and took a boat out and did some fishing. And we caught a lot of fish. By then Yamada-san and I were feeling great, so we decided to stay overnight at the hot springs inn, and as such I am not coming home tonight. Gonsuke, can you remember that?
Yes, yes, yes, Gonsuke is very good at telling a story! Yes, yes, I can remember that.
Now Gonsuke, on your way home, I want you to stop by the fish market and buy some fish so my wife won't be suspicious. Understand?
Ah, fish, fish... Gonsuke is from mountainside... I have never seen the ocean! I don't know much about the fish...
Oh, that's all right. Just tell them you're looking for net fishing fish. They'll know what to get.
Net fishing fish, net fishing fish... I want net fishing fish, okay, okay. So, when I buy the fish, do I pay for that out of these two yen or...?
Oh, all right, Gonsuke. [He reaches into his kimono and hands out more money.] Here is the money for the fish. Are you ready to go now?
Okay, okay, danna-sama! Go go go go, go to the girl's house! Bye bye!
...He's running...
Haa... I don't understand. His wife, oku-sama is such a nice lady. Why does he cheat on her...? Well, Gonsuke never understands.
