"It is nothing I can talk about." "It is regrettable, but for Sakamoto-dono right now the Shogunate regards him as an enemy." "I'm worried about that, too." "You're asking me not to make any moves to meet him, aren't you?" "That is the case..." "If I have said something I need not have please forget this."

"Didn't you say you would hate for Edo to be drawn into a war?" "I'll give you something I heard at the meeting of the Four Lords." "Yoshinobu-san is conversing with Satsuma, Tosa, Echizen and the influential lords of Uwajima's four fief's." "It seems Satsuma has suggested they talk about the country." "About the country?" "Satsuma's objective, while talking before the Emperor about punishing Choshu is to encourage Choshu to equip itself for the overthrow the Shogunate." "Um..." "Is Ryoma-san involved in that?" "For such a famous Tosa man to suddenly appear here would be unusual, wouldn't it?" "Don't you think it would be a mistake to get entangled with him?" "Um, Katsu-sensei..." "What year is this?" "It's Keiou 3." "Not that, um..." "By the western calendar." "Why do you ask that, Sensei?" "Well, I don't have any deep reasons for it particularly." "If I recall, it's the year 1867."

"This really is something incredible, isn't it?" "Nokaze-san's incredible!" "Sakamoto-dono's poem does not make sense somewhat, does it not?" "What do you mean?" "This poem does not mean that he agrees with what Sensei has told him." "Why would he go to the bother of saying this to you expressly?" "When I spoke to Ryoma-san about the reality of war he may have heard my opinions as being nothing but castles in air." "Doesn't he just want to declare that with this?"

"You're worried, aren't you, Saki-san?" "You don't know what will happen to the Shogunate from here on." "Well then, could you please tell me what happens from here forward?" "When you say that I am worried, that would not be a lie." "I will be fine." "In order to change the world I should do so with this hand." "Just by myself, I can save many people." "Thank you very much." "Is this black water medicine?" "It's more like a western tea." "Well then, I too." "Is this delicious to Sensei?" "It gradually becomes a habit." "Is that true?" "Sensei, Saki-sama." "Welcome." "Thank thee for coming." "Nokaze-san, Lelong-san." "Allow me to congratulate you!" " Thank you very much." " Thank thee very much." "Congratulations." "Truly, to have come here from so far away..." "It was for thy two in particular that I wished wouldst come to my wedding." "For us, too." "I'm happy for you!" "In such a place as this it mayst not be possible for Saki-sama to feel completely at ease here but from our hearts, we shall entertain thee." "To me only?" "I shall guide thee to thy rooms." "Thou two wouldst indulge in sharing the same room, wouldst thee not?" " Eh?" " Eh?" "Eh?" "I'm sorry would it be possible to have separate rooms?" "Well then, not yet?" "Is it because Sensei still speaks about that person from his memories?" "Excuse me, Nokaze-san." "Why did you say to me alone that I would be uncomfortable in a place like this?" "Ah..." "Thou are not used to the use of western things." "Well then, what makes you think Sensei would be experienced in western things?" "That would be because I have heard Minakata-sensei has given lectures to the foreign doctors here, as well." "In that case, he would be used to them." "That is all." "Ah." "Saki-sama, thou seems to be worried about the strangest things." "Knock on wood." "Does this become a habit as well?" "Yes, probably." "This makes sounds in the mouth." "Sensei, thou are accustomed to Champagne, are thee not?" "Didst thou develop a taste for it somewhere?" "Ah, yes." "In Yokohama." "And Nagasaki, too..." "Nokaze-san is extremely smart." "Her manners are excellent and she's skilled at French." "Wherever I take her, even back to France, she won't be embarrassed." "Nokaze-san you're going to France?" "Yes." "Upon the completion of our wedding ceremony." "Is that right?" "Rather than I, when doest thou two intend to be married?" "Well that's..." "let's see..." "To speak honestly..." "The way I am, well..." "It HAS become a habit." "Saki-san." "Are you okay, Saki-san?" "I am fine." "I am just fine." "Saki-san." "Will Nokaze-san... truly become happy?" "Doesn't she seem happy?" "Is it not all just a jest to her?" "Saki-san, your voice is too loud." "Nokaze-san is quite skilled at lying." "Saki-san." "That's being rude to both Nokaze-san and Lelong-san..." "Well then would that be good for me, as well?" "Would that be good for me and would it make me happy?" "What are you talking about?" "Saki-san?" "I am just some old woman." "From the start I was nothing but an old woman." "Saki-sama is a big drinker." "Nokaze-san, you weren't drinking today, were you?" "Truth is, there is an ill person I wouldst like thou to examine right now." "Right now?" "Yes." "They have been eagerly awaiting thee." "Is the patient someone here in this mansion?" "Yes." "Just ahead." "Um, where is the patient?" "Wai..." "Nokaze-san?" "!" "I think this will be the final meeting betwixt thee and I." "Just once more at the end I thought I should havest thou look at all of me." ""Look at"?" "The patient is myself." "In my left armpit, I have felt a lump." "Eh?" "Excuse me." "Sensei." "Please telleth me the truth." "All of the cancer has metastasized swelling and enlarging the lymph nodes." "It has metastasized to the lymph nodes in your armpit in 10 places." "That would mean it is quite advanced..." "Are you okay?" "Maybe you've caught cold." "This is not a cold." "Recently, this hacking cough has come and I have felt stuffy." "Is this, too due to the new cancer?" "I can't be certain..." "I'm very sorry!" "Back then if I had been more thorough in cleaning up the lymph nodes maybe this wouldn't have happened." "Thou hast no need to apologize." "At that time I who would have died was saved and so I was able to have such a happy life." "I am grateful to thee, Sensei." "But..." "Couldst I ask thee just one more thing?" "Will the poison of this cancer interfere with my child?" "Eh?" "Inside of me I bear a child." "The cancer can't transfer to the child..." "Well then..." "Well then..." "How much longer have I to live?" "Metastatic breast cancer survival rate is said to be 50% over 2 years." "2 years." "Of course there are people who live much longer." "That isn't a rule." "That long?" "2 years more..." "In that case, I will get to embrace this child." "To see its smiling face." "And to hear its voice as well." "To hold hands with it and to walk with it." "I will get to do all of that." ""Jinyu-do"" "Are you sure you heard a sound?" "I'm certain it was over here." "Wasn't it just your imagination?" "I wonder." "Um..." "What about Lelong-san?" "He knows that I carry a child but I have not told him that I have cancer." "Pregnancy and childbearing..." "They place a great deal of stress on a mother's body." "When I consider Nokaze-san's health as a doctor, I can't recommend this at all." "At least, you should discuss this with Lelong-san..." "However it cannot be cured, can it?" "Sensei." "This child hast been my dream." "Your dream?" "I may not live for very much longer but this child will live for tens of years longer still, will it not?" "When this child has a child then for 100 or even 200 years..." "Even after a century my blood will continue flowing through them." "Through those lives I will continue to live forever." "Through the flesh and blood of this child and eyes..." "It will be possible for me to see it, will it not?" "The future?" "I bid thee good night, Minakata-sensei." ""The river of life flows on to the future."" ""This child may continue on to be reborn as Miki."" ""Nokaze-san's dream..."" ""...is also my dream."" ""However, I wonder if the corrective power of history allow this dream?"" ""That Miki could be reborn as another person..."" ""Wouldn't that be considered changing history?"" "What is the time?" "Ah, I am very sorry!" "It is embarrassing, but I have overslept." " Saki-sama, come take your meal." " Yes." "Um, Sensei..." "I have no recollection of what happened." "If I happened to blurt out something strange..." "Nothing like that." "That is good." "When thou doth gets married to Sensei thou shouldst scream out that way then." "Eh?" "I jests with thee." "Which is to say, I jest not with thee." "Wh... which is it?" "!" "Well then, one step ahead of thee..." "I must go to the Roman Catholic church to make preparations so please make any requests to this person." "Um, Sensei." "Has something happened?" "Ah, yes." "It has already metastasized throughout all the lymph nodes in her body and even spread to the lungs." "However, with her body in such a condition, how can she give birth?" "When considering the mother's health I'd want her to give up on the child and just rest." "Nokaze-san said that to end giving birth would be..." "Nokaze-san is to give birth?" "She said having a child herself has been her dream." "Her dream?" "She said that by giving birth to a child she herself will go on to live eternally." "Nokaze-san told you this?" "Yes." "As I thought..." "Nokaze-san does..." "Um, is there not some other way other than delivery that a child could be taken out safely?" "In the future there is a way called a Cesarean section where the womb is cut and it is taken out." "If that were performed using the anesthesia of this period though the fetus wouldn't be able to survive." "Then, how about at least having her give birth at Jinyu-do?" "I have almost no experience in obstetrics, and even that was with normal deliveries." "If she gives birth with a good midwife..." "I think that would be best and put the least amount of stress on her body." "Are you afraid?" "That by delivering it directly yourself the corrective power of history will do its work on Nokaze-san and the child?" ""DIC..." "Ohatsu-chan!"" "If Nokaze-san and the child were to die right before my eyes..." "Minakata-sensei." "Saki-sama." ""Suzuya Hikosaburo, Master of Suzuya" You've come." "As her foster parent, I couldn't help but come." "She doesn't have her true parents, after all." "That's true." "Nokaze-san is just like a celestial maiden, is she not?" "I remember." "Nokaze's final journey as a courtesan." "All alone in a white kimono, she left through the large front gates." "She was beautiful then, too." "But that is no comparison to today..." ""From this beautiful person..."" ""I wonder just how much affection I have received from her?"" ""I only have this 50 ryo."" ""Please, put it to some use."" ""What is the name of that person?"" ""Tonight, I willst call myself by that."" ""I willst become happier far more than anyone else!"" ""By Minakata-sensei's hand..."" ""...thou hast given me the chance to be reborn."" ""It will be unnecessary for thou to worry about me from here forward."" ""Sensei, thou as well..." "Please consider only what would bring thee happiness."" ""Sensei, this child..."" ""...hast been my dream."" ""What can be called happiness in a life is when..."" ""...at long last, you grasp your dream."" ""I wonder if even I won't be granted that dream?"" "Nokaze-san's dream has come true, has it not?" "It may be while Sensei is trying to change history for people of the future history may be adding your life to those changes." "However, if..." "If it could be said your wish for a changed future is that Nokaze-san and the people of this era to have strong wills then this is no longer a history that needs to be changed and is just an ordinary history, is it not?" "What are you talking about?" "Nokaze-san most likely knows." "That Sensei has come from the future." "That the person you desired may be one of her own descendants." "That is why even at the risk of her life she wants to give birth." "Of course you could also say she wishes for the child of her adored Lelong-san." "However, it is not only for that..." "In the next world does not this mean Nokaze-san will try and encounter Sensei once again?" "To go to the extent of crushing her wished-for dream I would like to believe that Heaven is not so cruel." "That photograph disappearing was Miki-san being reborn with a new future and could be called the voice of God." "Saki-san." "Saki-sama!" "Um, this is..." "There is a legend that says the person who catches the bride's bouquet will be the next one to find happiness." "Sensei." "Could you allow me to deliver Nokaze-san's child?" "I will not get Sensei involved with it." "For the sake of making an ordinary history." "If you would please." ""It's okay, Jin-sensei." "I'm sure we'll meet again sometime."" "Was that what you meant Miki?" "Was that it..." "Sensei thou wishes to deliver my child?" "Yes." "Lelong-san." "Did you know that Nokaze-san had been operated on for cancer at Jinyu-do once before?" "Yes." "Since then we have been a little concerned about Nokaze-san's health." "So by our hands please allow us to examine her during birth." "Are you saying Nokaze-san's body may not be able to endure giving birth?" "It seems not." "You could say we want to exhaust all possibilities." "You don't have to force yourself." "As long as I have you, I will be fine." "The child..." "Lelong-san." "I have only been taken care of by thee and have done nothing to repay that." "At least please allow me to giveth thee this as my present." "If it is these Senseis, I am sure it will go well." "Sensei..." "Nokaze-san..." "Please take care of Nokaze and our child." "Yes." "We will definitely protect both of them." "Thanks for waiting." "We just made these new An-donuts for kids." "We put some mochi inside the An-donuts." "(sticky rice cake)" "Ehh..." "Child..." "What's wrong?" "No." "It is just we have to carefully save the both of them..." "Save?" "Um, Sensei..." "Sakamoto-sama's poem." "Yes?" "The "suku" of Mushigasuku (infested with bugs) is not that it is infested but that they are "hiding out" (suku) here." "And also that they will "save" (suku) it, is it not?" "In that case, that poem is not that bugs will come forth from the yam (satsuma) to "eat" Edo." "Does it not mean that Edo is to be saved?" "Then that "suku" meant "tasukeru." (to save)" "Yes." "I couldn't understand you, Ryoma-san!" "This IS from Ryoma-san." ""Sensei, did dat photo get ta ya?"" ""With da feelings in dat poem, I been runnin' round again."" ""Well, I've had me fair share of difficulties..."" ""Tosa, Choshu, Satsuma" "...but whether dis country kin be reorganized without battles..."" ""Tosa" "..." "I haven't wrung out dat wisdom yet.""

"None of the money or medical equipment was taken though." "So it might have been my imagination." "Has something happened?" "I think the letter and photo from Ryoma-san was stolen." "It may be someone has been keeping an eye on Jinyu-do." "Is this story true?" "It is true." "What is Ryoma-san trying to do now?"
