"Are you here to help?" "Don't bother." "right?" "Are you seriously planning to battle the capital?" "Of course." "You are the ones who cut the bandits down." "You do have a chance of winning." "But you must not underestimate Ukyo." "we appreciate the advice." "Your words sting me." "aren't you?" "Can't you?" "Hei-noji." "then so will I." "Even if he is a merchant from the capital. after I sent the samurai hunters after you." "I am neither a friend nor foe to them. and I would like to live a long and happy life." "Kyuzo!" "I wonder if you would consider working for me?" "Heihachi..." "Can I have a moment?" "Okay." "Rikichi-san? but I'll never be a man of understanding'." "Please don't try to force it." "You have to give it some time." "I can let your wife stay here for a while." "I've gotten the other girls to come work for me here." "It's all the same to me to add one or two more." "I just dunno..." "The emperor's the one who kidnapped her." "How can she say she's in love with him?" "Could life in the capital've been that good? and nice things to wear." "to a life of sweat and toil!" "Rikichi! but she was still carrying a child." "and she couldn't help that." "It must be like this: and trick her out of realizing that she was a prisoner." "That's pretty crafty." "The emperor and Ukyo are completely alike." "I don't know what to do no more!" "Rikichi-san!" "Mizuki-san!" "then who else can!" "?" "Sanae-san's heart is still being held captive in the capital!" "there were lots of things that we ate there look at my hand!" "and rugged." "and vegetables." "they became all pale like they are." "and told me to smile pretty." "all they did was turn me into a farm." "can you think of anything as cruel as that?" "Farm?" "weren't we!" "?" "They were planting the emperor's venerable reproductions inside us." "We were just like farms!" "Rikichi-san? the way you folks did." "I want you to smash the capital!" "And not just so that we can get even with them. as well as the grief suffered by the people in villages all over." "Kanbe-dono." "I have killed others." "right?" "You have extraordinarily keen insight." "So the reason you are stern with others is because you cannot forgive your own past?" "Yes." "I was weak." "The information that I leaked caused the death of my whole platoon." "It's a fool's tale." "All I've been able to think about my whole life since then is how I can make it up to those who I killed." "Perhaps the reason I was interested in Kanna Village was so that I could make amends." "together with me. then I'll kill as many as it takes." "That's reassuring." "I was put off by the way you can go on trusting others." "I have great respect for how big you acted." "If only I had been able to meet a man like you sooner..." "Don't give me too much credit." "Everyone is here." "Kanbe-sama!" "Rikichi-san wants to... I have somethin' to ask of you." "Please... please bring down the capital!" "even if you hadn't asked me." "Yeah!" "Leave it to us!" "They are headed to Kanna Village. then I'll have to pound him right back into one!" "Yeah!" "Hold up!" "Masa-noji?" "I made this from scratch." "You should be able to use it with any arrow around." "Take it with you." "Thanks." "Let me sharpen your sword again sometime." "I'll be waiting for you." "Let's go." "Very well." "Come back soon. huh?" "did you?" "aren't you two the passionate ones!" "?" "Hoot hoot!" "my girl." "you two." "Mizuki-san." "Look after Sanae-san for us." "Sure." "Come visit us once in a while." "Let's go home to Kanna Village." "everyone!" " Farewell!" " Farewell!" "There they go." "I hope Sanae-san will be all right." "after all." "Merchant-san... and all..." "I don't take my baths until after supper." "Don't be a fool." "I'm asking you to get some hot water going." "And how does one get hot water going?" "Tanomo." "I can't go any farther." "What are you talking about!" "?" "The capital is just ahead!" "Take heart!" "Look!" "It's the capital!" "He's injured!" "too." "hurry and get him some attention." "Call the court physician..." "Honorable Emperor!" "I'm the one talking here." "There's something I'd like you to hear." "We need to get you treated first!" "Tanomo." "But!" "tell me. and ended up like this." "the ronin said that they had been given orders by the Honorable Emperor to defend the villages!" "you ordered us to head to the villages." "this is the shape we ended up in." "Were those lowlifes lying to us?" "Or did the Honorable Emperor actually give them that order?" "I would like you to clarify this." "Which one do you think it is? our comrades could be out being tortured by those lowlifes!" "That's fine with me." "Honorable Emperor!" "What did you say?" "and the ronin." "Nobody is telling you any lies." "But why?" "For what is to come." "what is to come?" "I mean for the sake of the world that I now control." "the peasants and the ronin that were beaten in the wars are pledging their allegiance to me." "isn't it?" "You've gone too far!" "huh?" "I may have presumed too much." "it's okay!" "That was quick thinking." "there is a possibility that this could happen again." "What shall we do?" "Those samurai are tough customers." "Why not turn them into true machines?" "huh? we can have them turned into literal mechanical samurai." "That sounds good." "Do it." "As you wish." "sir!" "Life for sale" "Gorobe-dono... you are melancholy." "Melancholy..." "What do you want?" "You must be joking." "Let me ask you a question." "Where are you going?" "I'll go wherever there is a battle." "as you are now." "I won't..." "I won't be beaten!" "To battle! same as always." "This is where my sister is?" "Mm-hmm." "Stop here." "All right." "Sister?" "Sister!" "Mizuki?" "Mizuki!" "Sister!" "Mizuki?" "The samurai-sama saved me!" "Kanbe-sama!" "I really am grateful." "Not at all." "I was the one who was saved." "Mizuki-san." "too." "so I will say my goodbyes." "Is that right?" "Take good care of your keepsake." "Shimada Kanbe." "huh?" "He's the leader when it comes to losing battles." "I just don't understand how the world works." "he has the smell of the battlefield about him." "And what is that?" "A dreadful smell." "Huh?" "Why could Kirara-san be turning red?" "It's nothing... you know!" "Ah!" "We forgot!" "Komachi?" "we left the Shikimori's clothes back in the capital!" "I'm so sorry!" "We just received a report from our scout in Kogakyo." "talk to me." "They have lost sight of Shimada Kanbe's party." "Where?" "A limestone cave." "The Shikimori village." "huh?" "And what about my father?" "He's a houseboy at an inn." "A houseboy!" "?" "My father!" "?" "That's great!" "How delightful!" "That's the best lesson that someone who has rested on their laurels instead of advancing their own station can have." "Never mind about my father anymore." "I think I'll leave him alone." "what about Shimada Kanbe?" "Good question... you must not forget that we have an arrangement with the Shikimori." "I know." "we are arriving at Ushioda Village." "Find the samurai." "We can't be too careful about them." "I'm sorry!" "I really am sorry!" "I wouldn't mind if you slug me until you're satisfied!" "We really have done an inexcusable thing." "too." "okay?" "Please forgive these people." "It's thanks to them that we were able to be reunited like this." "we never said we would not forgive you." "you do forgive us? until you have achieved the destruction of the capital." "Owe you?" "Yes." "You may prepare for your battle here." "Doesn't this go against your arrangement?" "this is a prime opportunity for us to be freed from the capital." "We cannot let it pass." "huh?" "They've given us all these presents!" "Kiku-noji!" "really?" "This is even higher!" "anyhow?" "They're samurai." "huh?" "that explains it." "No wonder they have so many of these things." "They're more amiable than you'd expect." "Not all that different from those quick-witted merchants." "Do not let the samurai into the village again." "turn them over to us." "Gather everyone in the village." "everyone." "We are now going to give you your instructions for receiving the capital." "Who's that?" "don't they?" "Katsushiro-sama!" "Katsushiro-sama!" "You guys stand back." "we met once in Kogakyo." "What are you doing here?" "you were knocked out with one blow." "Are you going to cut me down?" "I'm the one asking the questions!" "boy." "We are under special orders from the Honorable Emperor." "You might say that my words are the Honorable Emperor's words." "What is your business in this village?" "Those armored troops were trying to set a fire!" "They must have been acting on their own." "Don't screw around with me!" "What did you come to this village to do?" "We're going..." "to destroy... the village..." "What?" "We're going to burn the village..." "The bright red flames... will be a welcoming fire for the Young Lord..." "They're everywhere... armored troops..." "here to burn the village..." "I'll cut you down!"

"They said that Ukyo used to be a farmer! but he's still a lying crook." "But everyone thinks that Ukyo is a good person. he secretly does bad things when no one is looking." "They say that's the way that merchants fight." "I'm scared by that for some reason. was able to meet her sister in the Shikimori's village." "That's great!" "Uncle was able to keep his promise to Honoka-san!" "is the village doing all right?" "I'll be coming back to the village with everyone." "Bye now!"
