"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"
After the funeral ceremony, Ah Man exclaimed in delight. She never expected that tagging along with Harano would let her witness such a sensational scene as a "filial son sticking incense upside down and the deceased's coffin being desecrated." This was more than enough material for her to brag about for two years—Did you know? Before that idiot Oda Nobunaga met his end, I saw him stick the incense upside down into the burner with my own eyes. That's when I knew he was doomed for sure!
She kept pestering Harano for those five kan of coins. With Oda Nobunaga pulling off something like this, blatantly being "utterly unfilial," there was no way he could ever "keep the father-son hierarchy" again, no way to remain head of the big clan, and no way to demand absolute loyalty from foster sons, household retainers, or local warriors.
