Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo) : Otsu. I want to be with you, too. While traveling these months, I've missed you so much. I dreamt of you every night on the road. I'd like to settle down with you somewhere in the mountains. The old Takezo would do so.

Dayu Yoshino : You crave self-mastery, for you lack affection. Human affection. Are you offended?
Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo) : No, you're a woman.
Dayu Yoshino : It's because I'm a woman? Do you mean to slight women? Or is it because you pity women as weak beings? Musashi. Or do you reject my statement because I'm only a courtesan? I can read your mind very easily, as clear as the reflection in a mirror.
