1. Take slow steps now...Copy !req
2. We're almost there, Young Master.Copy !req
3. And we're here.Copy !req
4. Whoa!Copy !req
5. What do you think?
It's completely frozen, eh?Copy !req
6. You can stand anywhere
on Suwa Lake in winter!Copy !req
7. Amazing...Copy !req
8. Young Master!Copy !req
9. You okay?Copy !req
10. Are you okay, Young Master?Copy !req
11. That took me by surprise!Copy !req
12. Six months have passed since
the fall of the Shogunate.Copy !req
13. Tokiyuki celebrated his
first New Year's in Suwa.Copy !req
14. There was a pause in
the country's turmoil,Copy !req
15. but skirmishes continued.Copy !req
16. Go, go!Copy !req
17. Naturally, Suwa would not
be peaceful all the time.Copy !req
18. It's here...Copy !req
19. The period when I can't see the future...Copy !req
20. Just like an aromatic historyCopy !req
21. Just like a dramatic textbookCopy !req
22. This is no good,
I just can't dance these daysCopy !req
23. Will you do it or will you be done in?
Only destiny can tellCopy !req
24. I'll oppose it, I'll sing of it,
and I'll runCopy !req
25. I don't care about the damage doneCopy !req
26. I'm just having funCopy !req
27. Fulfillment, ideals, realityCopy !req
28. I'll go and take them by the hand
Quickly and vigorouslyCopy !req
29. Say Plan A, you got no doubts,
it's sunny all aboutCopy !req
30. You had my back, so here's our runwayCopy !req
31. Say Plan A, you got no doubts,
you're aliveCopy !req
32. They'll laugh, it'll be sad,
but you'll be all goodCopy !req
33. Plan ACopy !req
34. Plan ACopy !req
35. Running away is victoryCopy !req
36. Plan ACopy !req
37. Plan ACopy !req
38. Run away to victoryCopy !req
39. I have acquired another land.Copy !req
40. We need a great man like you...Copy !req
41. Shokan.Copy !req
42. I have heard that you were feared
like a demon as a villain.Copy !req
43. A villain? Nonsense.Copy !req
44. I have mellowed significantly now,Copy !req
45. and chosen the path to serve you,
who is on the rise.Copy !req
46. However...Copy !req
47. Your order is to slowly
take Suwa's territory.Copy !req
48. I alone am the best man for that.Copy !req
49. For stealing is what I live for.Copy !req
50. Are you sure, Lord Sadamune?Copy !req
51. There are not enough
strong men in our family.Copy !req
52. We will not win in this turbulent world,Copy !req
53. if we remain stuck in the
common sense of a warrior.Copy !req
54. Ogasawara is moving suspiciously again?Copy !req
55. Yes.Copy !req
56. Enemy soldiers are looking for something
on the northern border.Copy !req
57. Send someone to scout the area!Copy !req
58. Our best scouts are already dispatched.Copy !req
59. Enemy troop movements on the
western border are also posing a threat...Copy !req
60. I'll keep this a secret from everyone.Copy !req
61. That there are rare, sudden periods of
time when I can't see any future at all...Copy !req
62. This is bad...Copy !req
63. I wish I didn't have to deal
with any problems at a time like this...Copy !req
64. Um...Copy !req
65. Should we the Elusive Warriors
go scout the area?Copy !req
66. Huh?Copy !req
67. Whaaat?Copy !req
68. Young Master, how reliable of you!Copy !req
69. Just what I expect from
a figurehead of a warrior family!Copy !req
70. We'll leave it to you!Copy !req
71. Wait, that'll be dangerous...Copy !req
72. If anything happens,
the Hojo bloodline will cease to exist...Copy !req
73. I'll be okay.Copy !req
74. And it's less alarming if it's just kids.Copy !req
75. You know best how I can run away.Copy !req
76. Well, but...Copy !req
77. What a clever idea!Copy !req
78. Both Kojiro and Ayako have had
some experience with reconnaissance.Copy !req
79. And the courteous Lord Tokiyuki
would make the local people feel at ease!Copy !req
80. Let's go with this, Lord Yorishige!Copy !req
81. Lord Yorishige!Copy !req
82. Lord Yorishige!Copy !req
83. Lord Yorishige!Copy !req
84. If he's killed by bandits midway,
his bloodline will cease to exist.Copy !req
85. Me and Ayako can handle some bandits.Copy !req
86. We can also help him run
away with Genba's illusions.Copy !req
87. You rang?Copy !req
88. Well... If he gets lost
on the way, his bloodline...Copy !req
89. I have played many times in the past six
months, running far and wide in the territory.Copy !req
90. I can now return from anywhere in Suwa!Copy !req
91. No...Copy !req
92. He could die from parasites
from eating roadside slugs...Copy !req
93. Or he could die from seeing a hot woman
and have a massive nosebleed...Copy !req
94. Or he could recall an embarrassing past,
and want to die from the shock...Copy !req
95. Goodbye, world.Copy !req
96. What's up with you?Copy !req
97. You've been acting strange.Copy !req
98. Don't you always send me out to dangerous
places without a care in the world?Copy !req
99. This isn't going anywhere...Copy !req
100. Can we go already, Lord Moritaka?Copy !req
101. Yeah.Copy !req
102. As it stands, this is
probably for the best.Copy !req
103. Be sure to prioritize
Young Master's safety.Copy !req
104. Got it!Copy !req
105. Hey, wait!Copy !req
106. Lord Tokiyuki's not actually
good at running away!Copy !req
107. He's just a pervert who
gets off on running away!Copy !req
108. How rude!Copy !req
109. All right.Copy !req
110. What should we prepare
for a scouting mission?Copy !req
111. It's better to carry light.Copy !req
112. Two days' worth of food
and some cash should be enough.Copy !req
113. I want as much money as I can get, though.Copy !req
114. Let's cheat and swindle the Moritaka guy!Copy !req
115. You're saying things like that again...Copy !req
116. Our family can't waste money or rice...Copy !req
117. Yorishige...Copy !req
118. is watching.Copy !req
119. With worries...Copy !req
120. All eyes on them...Copy !req
121. Father!Copy !req
122. Well...Copy !req
123. If Lord Tokiyuki dies of starvation...Copy !req
124. The bloodline will cease to exist...Copy !req
125. Just ignore him.Copy !req
126. Let's go.Copy !req
127. This should do to staying warm.Copy !req
128. These cotton-filled sleeves
specially made by Shizuku are so warm!Copy !req
129. I think I can go with only a layer.Copy !req
130. It's easier to run away and not
be suspected if you're lightly armed.Copy !req
131. Yorishige has come to watch.Copy !req
132. Like a bored curry store owner.Copy !req
133. He's come to watch them closely.Copy !req
134. You really are strange
today, Sir Yorishige!Copy !req
135. Well, if you freeze to death,Copy !req
136. or if there are a million enemy
soldiers in the area...Copy !req
137. Your bloodline...Copy !req
138. Bloodline...Copy !req
139. What is this, bloodline addiction?Copy !req
140. Good grief.Copy !req
141. What's up with him?Copy !req
142. He sometimes becomes like that.Copy !req
143. Like that?Copy !req
144. Becoming anxious or angry...Copy !req
145. Who ate my mochi?Copy !req
146. Who?Copy !req
147. Gaining weight just by drinking water,Copy !req
148. or eating sour food all the time.Copy !req
149. Is he having a baby or something?Copy !req
150. What could he be thinking?Copy !req
151. Who knows?Copy !req
152. He's always pushing me around...Copy !req
153. Lord Tokiyuki! Be careful!
He's always pushing me around...Copy !req
154. - Lord Tokiyuki! Be careful!
- But...Copy !req
155. It's kind of nice to see him
send me off with a concerned look.Copy !req
156. We made it just in time for nightfall.Copy !req
157. It looks peaceful at a glance.Copy !req
158. Let's review the steps.Copy !req
159. Although this area is in Suwa territory,Copy !req
160. it's on the very edge,
so not much information about it.Copy !req
161. So first, we'll ask around
as messengers of Suwa Grand Shrine,Copy !req
162. and tomorrow,
we'll look around the village.Copy !req
163. Are the enemies likely to come?
And if so, when and how big?Copy !req
164. How many soldiers do we
need to defend the village?Copy !req
165. We'll compile the
information and report...Copy !req
166. This is...Copy !req
167. We're trapped.Copy !req
168. Look at this village.Copy !req
169. It's already under enemy control.Copy !req
170. A dual sword user...Copy !req
171. In his teens...Copy !req
172. The enemies around may barge in anytime...Copy !req
173. So quick!Copy !req
174. He's a tremendous swordsman
at such a young age.Copy !req
175. Hey, fighting is beyond me.Copy !req
176. Let's run away while we still can, boy.Copy !req
177. The two of them can only
hold that dual sword user down.Copy !req
178. No, they both are getting stronger.Copy !req
179. Far better than half a year ago...Copy !req
180. Moreover, their speed and power...Copy !req
181. are so different from
when they practice with me!Copy !req
182. So...Copy !req
183. That's...Copy !req
184. Well done, Young Master!Copy !req
185. You took a score out
of five tries from me!Copy !req
186. If you keep on underestimating me,
you're going to be in for a world of pain.Copy !req
187. Huh...Copy !req
188. You'll surpass me if
you keep training like this.Copy !req
189. Can't hold my breath like this.Copy !req
190. Then...Copy !req
191. That too?Copy !req
192. You're amazing, Young Master.Copy !req
193. I'm being pushed in
this sword-locking duel...Copy !req
194. You've been training me, Ayako.Copy !req
195. Maybe by the time you're an adult,Copy !req
196. you'll be the one I have to protect...Copy !req
197. Yeah.Copy !req
198. I'd love to see the strong you soon.Copy !req
199. Come on, just one more push.
You can do it.Copy !req
200. Go for it.Copy !req
201. Was I being spoiled by them?Copy !req
202. Take a hint there already.Copy !req
203. Kojiro, Ayako.Copy !req
204. Lord Tokiyuki's elusive
abilities aren't absolute.Copy !req
205. Because of his peaceful nature,
he can be careless,Copy !req
206. and there are still many
attacks that he cannot dodge.Copy !req
207. An experienced warrior with
a long history of warfare.Copy !req
208. An anomalous warrior
with unusual abilities.Copy !req
209. A warrior trying to go
beyond the realm of man.Copy !req
210. In the face of such monsters,Copy !req
211. there is no guarantee that even
he will be able to escape.Copy !req
212. Hence, you two...Copy !req
213. Become samurai who continue
to grow without letting your guard down.Copy !req
214. You must be able to protect
your lord's life from any enemy.Copy !req
215. What brave and loyal vassals...Copy !req
216. One day, I hope to be able
to cross blades like that...Copy !req
217. Could you be...Copy !req
218. Shizuku?Copy !req
219. Huh?Copy !req
220. Have you forgotten?Copy !req
221. You gave me some rice
in the East Shinano area before...Copy !req
222. Fubuki?Copy !req
223. Forgive my rudeness.Copy !req
224. I sensed a beastly aura from those two.Copy !req
225. I thought you were
enemy scouts in disguise.Copy !req
226. Huh?Copy !req
227. My name is Fubuki.Copy !req
228. I am wandering around the country,
looking for a master to serve.Copy !req
229. Huh? So you're not a villager here?Copy !req
230. No.Copy !req
231. I stopped by about three days
ago to beg for food,Copy !req
232. but they were being attacked by
some of the Ogasawara standards,Copy !req
233. and I assisted them.Copy !req
234. Three platoons of the same size
came three times.Copy !req
235. We managed to eradicate them,Copy !req
236. but we ran out of stockpiles,Copy !req
237. and had no horse to contact
the outside world, it was tough.Copy !req
238. Three platoons...Copy !req
239. And yet the villagers
are only watching with torches?Copy !req
240. What a bunch of cowards,
letting a young man fight on his own.Copy !req
241. Oh, don't be offended.Copy !req
242. By the time I got here,
all the adults had been killed.Copy !req
243. They're all children?Copy !req
244. You alone wiped out the
enemy soldiers three times?Copy !req
245. No.Copy !req
246. They also prove to contribute well.Copy !req
247. - There they are!
- Just as now,Copy !req
248. they distract the enemies with torches...Copy !req
249. Or create a pitfall...Copy !req
250. Aiming at the enemy using
a strawman as a decoy...Copy !req
251. There's a lot of young children
can do if you teach them.Copy !req
252. I'm looking for a strong lord
who can accumulate knowledge,Copy !req
253. hone his skills, and put them to use,Copy !req
254. but maybe I'm better suited to recognize
and nurture the talents of others.Copy !req
255. If only there were a ruler
somewhere in this worldCopy !req
256. who wanted to learn,
it would make things easier...Copy !req
257. That's wonderful!Copy !req
258. This village is vital to Suwa?Copy !req
259. I've never heard of this.Copy !req
260. People just don't realize it.Copy !req
261. This village has a small population
but difficult terrain to attack.Copy !req
262. With a hundred defenders, it could
be turned into an impregnable fortress.Copy !req
263. If Ogasawara occupy and place an army here,Copy !req
264. they will have an unparalleled advantageCopy !req
265. when attacking from the border.Copy !req
266. Because they can pincer Asada Domain,Copy !req
267. a rich large village in the Suwa territory.Copy !req
268. In the military arts,
it's called "two-pronged attack".Copy !req
269. If this is accomplished, Suwa will
lose a large amount of territory.Copy !req
270. Perhaps the one commanding the
Ogasawara forces this time around...Copy !req
271. is familiar with such military tactics.Copy !req
272. As for me, I thought that
if I could protect this village,Copy !req
273. and convey its strategic value,Copy !req
274. the reward would be huge.Copy !req
275. Never mind that, you eat way too much!Copy !req
276. Huh?Copy !req
277. Also, don't talk about tactics
with rice grains on your face.Copy !req
278. He ate up the village's
reserves in three days...Copy !req
279. What?Copy !req
280. Yes, I guess I'm about
done protecting this village...Copy !req
281. We have the cause
of the crisis in the village.Copy !req
282. His eye for strategy is awesome,Copy !req
283. but he can't calculate how much he eats?Copy !req
284. Must be because it's cold.Copy !req
285. No matter how much I eat,
I can't stay warm.Copy !req
286. By the way, when I first met Fubuki...Copy !req
287. He was creeping around and
devouring all the tributes he got...Copy !req
288. I covered it up by pretending
it was stolen by a bear,Copy !req
289. but our god started crying out of hunger.Copy !req
290. I wanted to eat abalone...Copy !req
291. I'm really sorry about that!Copy !req
292. After all, I was hungry, and I couldn't
resist a request from young children...Copy !req
293. I really regret it.Copy !req
294. Brother?Copy !req
295. Well...Copy !req
296. You'd think he was
a calm and collected strategist,Copy !req
297. but he's surprisingly clumsy.Copy !req
298. - This should do.
- A strategist would only choose to win.Copy !req
299. - Yes! Thank you!
- A strategist would only choose to win.Copy !req
300. - Check mine as well!
- He wouldn't bother to protectCopy !req
301. - Check mine as well!
- a village of only young children.Copy !req
302. The man who inspired orphans,Copy !req
303. and turned them into a force
capable of defending their village...Copy !req
304. They just lost their parents,Copy !req
305. but their eyes
reflect their fighting spirit.Copy !req
306. I want him...Copy !req
307. As an aid to retaking the nation!Copy !req
308. I also want him to teach
me swordsmanship in secret,Copy !req
309. and have those two look up to me!Copy !req
310. So strong!
and have those two look up to me!Copy !req
311. By the way, Brother.Copy !req
312. Hm?Copy !req
313. I find it curiousCopy !req
314. - The future...
- that Father was strangely concerned.Copy !req
315. The future!Copy !req
316. - Maybe he can't see a safe future for you.
- The future!Copy !req
317. No matter how important this village is,
your life is more important.Copy !req
318. I advise abandoning
the village for the moment,Copy !req
319. and fleeing with the children
to Suwa territory.Copy !req
320. No.Copy !req
321. I want to protect the village if possible.Copy !req
322. Seems like the children's parents have yet
to have a burial or a memorial service.Copy !req
323. It is a tad pitiful to lose one's hometown
and one's parents at once.Copy !req
324. I want to let them stay here at least
long enough to sort out their feelings.Copy !req
325. Brother...Copy !req
326. Sir Fubuki.Copy !req
327. Could you let us help you in your battle?Copy !req
328. Gladly.Copy !req
329. If you want to fight alongside me,Copy !req
330. then please.Copy !req
331. Chief!Copy !req
332. We've killed so many
people in the village.Copy !req
333. Won't we get scolded by the Sadamune guy?Copy !req
334. Not a problem.Copy !req
335. It's his mistake to expect
morality from an ex-villain.Copy !req
336. Namu Amida Butsu...Copy !req
337. When I say this,
Buddha will forgive me for all my sins.Copy !req
338. Convenient, isn't it?Copy !req
339. Hm?Copy !req
340. Buddha is the best!Copy !req
341. Our Seigi Party...Copy !req
342. is strong enough that merely five
of us could destroy a whole village.Copy !req
343. And those strong men
haven't returned three times...Copy !req
344. Help me!Copy !req
345. In the way of bandits,Copy !req
346. it looks like we won't be able to
enjoy the beauty of their plunder.Copy !req
347. Let's return to being warriors,
and have us a war.Copy !req
