Epilogue[]
While JAPAN is completely unified and under the rule of the Oda House, they're still busy from dealing with the aftermath of the war, but overall it's become quite peaceful. | |
Two people are seen walking down the hallways of the Oda Castle in midst of all this. | |
It's Suzume, who is hopping around Kou, who is carrying dango and tea on a tray. | |
Suzume |
Odango! Odango! It's time for snack! And it's not a killer dango~♪ |
Kou |
Yes…. Kiku-san and Mine-san made these for us…. but I made the tea!! |
Suzume |
Hihi. Tea made by Kou -sama is delicious. If your dango are 1, the tea is a 1000! |
Kou |
*sob* Your compliment… isn't very comforting…. |
Suzume hops forward, and opens the door panel to their destination. | |
The room, about 30 tatami mattress wide, was covered in flowers. | |
Kou |
I brought snacks here, Sill-san. I hope you don't mind us eating here. |
Sill, encased in ice was there. | |
With the panels open, the room had a great view of the surroundings as well as the sky. | |
Kou placed Sill in this room, where the air flows through well, and the view is great. | |
It was Kou's idea. | |
Kou |
You know, the sky is connected… all the way to the main continent. Hm…? |
Kou noticed a wreath placed next to Sill. | |
Kou |
What's that…? |
Isoroku |
It's from Mr. Tanegashima. |
Isoroku came into the room, following them. | |
She had a flower pot of balloon flowers in her hands. | |
Isoroku |
He said, "Sill would probably enjoy the place more decorated". |
Isoroku places the flower pot next to Sill. | |
The first one to put flowers here was Kou. She must be lonely here all by herself. Kou doesn't know if Sill can see them or not, but she figured with some flower, maybe she won't feel so lonely there. | |
As she started decorating Sill with flowers she found in the yard, others saw her and started copying her. Soon the room was filled with flowers every day. | |
Suzume |
But he doesn't really understand a woman's heart. It's too gaudy. |
Kou |
Well… but it makes the place lively. |
Kou tries to defend Shigehiko's action. | |
Hanzou Hattori |
I chumell tea! |
Naomasa Li |
I chumell dango too! |
Sakai Tadatsugu |
Sake!! Where's the sake!? |
The three tanuki youkai, Hanzou, Naomasa, and Tadatsugu enter the room. | |
Kou |
Oh… sorry, we didn't bring that much. There's plenty in the kitchen. Ask Kiku-san and Mine-san for them. |
Hanzou Hattori |
Hanzou: gotchu! |
Naomasa Li |
Naomasa: Goingchu! |
Sakai Tadatsugu |
Oh…. those two won't let me drink sake during the daytime! Oh well, I'll go eat some dangochu! |
As the noisy three tanukis leave the room, Tadakatsu shows up, carrying the sleeping Yasumasa on his back. | |
Kou |
Oh, Tadakatsu-san. If you want some dango, please head to the kitchen…. |
Tadakatsu |
…….. (here)….. |
Tadakatsu handed a Mountain Lily to Kou. | |
Suzume |
Wow, it's a pain getting these! They only blossom deep in the mountains. |
Kou |
Wow… thank you, Tadakatsu-san. In place of Sill-san, you have my gratitude |
Tadakatsu |
……………… |
Tadakatsu blushes a little, and bows deeply before he leaves. | |
Suzume |
He's a true warrior. |
Kou |
Uhm, Yes. |
Suzume |
Oh, the tea's gonna get cold Kou-sama. |
Kou |
Oh my, you're right. Then let's have the dango too. Isoroku-san, please join us. |
Isoroku |
Thank you very much, I'll have some… |
The three take a bite of dango. | |
Isoroku |
……! |
Isoroku's hand stops as she brings the dango to her mouth. | |
Isoroku |
Uh…… |
Isoroku quickly puts the dango back on her plate, and gets up holding her mouth with the other hand. | |
Kou |
Isoroku-san? |
Isoroku |
I'm sorry, excuse me…. |
She rushes to leave the room | |
Natori |
Oh! |
Isoroku almost runs into Natori, carrying a Lily of the valley in her hands. | |
Isoroku |
Oh excuse me Natori… uh… |
Natori |
Oh, is something wrong…..? ah! Suzume, please take these. |
Natori notices what's wrong with her, and hands the flower to Suzume, and lends Isoroku a hand. | |
Natori |
To the washroom, yes? Let's go… |
Isoroku |
…thank you…. |
Natori assists Isoroku in a hurry, and heads to the restroom. | |
Kou |
I wonder what's wrong with Isoroku-san…. |
Suzume |
It's probably pregnancy sickness. |
Suzume says while decorating the flowers. | |
Kou |
Ah… oh… could it be Rance's… |
Suzume |
Yup, for sure. Isoroku wouldn't sleep with someone other than Rance. |
Kou |
R-really? |
Suzume |
Isoroku is just that kind of girl. |
Kou |
I see….. |
As Suzume munches more dango without a care in the world, Kou is shifting her hands nervously. | |
Masamune |
Someone's here before me? |
Masamune arrives, riding on his mole cricket car. | |
Kou |
Hello Masamune-san. |
The cricket car was filled with flowers, rare flowers from the north. | |
Masamune |
This is from me and my wives. Can I decorate them? |
Kou |
Of course. Thank you. |
Masamune |
Oh, and… I have a letter for you. |
Masamune hands the envelope to Kou. | |
Kou |
Oh, it's from Miki-san and Kentarou-san! |
Inside was a letter, and an oshibana (pressed flower) of a violet. | |
"Please place this flower on Sill's ice" was written by a handwriting that appears to be Miki's. | |
Suzume |
I'm bringing tons more dango and tea for second servings. |
Kou |
Oh… sorry to bother you. |
Masamune |
Thank you Suzume. |
Kou |
Let's place this violet then. |
3G |
Kou-sama, here you are. |
3G |
Oh, and the Youkai King too! |
3G comes into the room, and bows his head to the two. | |
3G |
This is great timing, I have both, the leader of the humans and the youkai here. I just recieved a report from Naoe, and I wanted you to hear this. |
Kou |
From Naoe-san? |
3G |
Yes. They found the Mikado Sword from the moutains of Sadokinzan. |
Kou |
The… Mikado Sword…? |
Masamune |
It's one of the three divine items of the Emperor of JAPAN. |
Masamune explains. | |
Kou |
Isn't that an extremely valuable treasure…? |
3G |
That's correct. |
3G |
That's why Naoe-dono tells us she will give us more info later. And one more thing. |
3G |
Sanada and Souun told me they would like to start preparing for the main continent. |
Kou |
Preparing… for the continent….? |
3G |
Now that JAPAN has been unified, they feel it's time to look out to the world. |
3G |
To start with, they would like to construct a large military base near the Tenma bridge. |
Kou |
Are you telling me… there's going to be another war…? |
Kou asks, with a worried look. | |
Masamune |
That's not what he's saying. In case of emergency, we could hold our ground there, and keep them from getting into JAPAN. |
3G |
It's exactly as the Youkai King says. If we build a strong, powerful fortress there, JAPAN would be near impenetrable. |
3G |
The fort will be for the peace of JAPAN. |
Kou |
Is… the real peace still far away? |
Masamune |
We just have to work towards it. |
Kou |
…… I guess you're right. |
Kou looks at 3G and smiles. | |
Kou |
3G, it seems you have a long way till you can die. |
3G |
I will not die until Kou-sama safely marries a good man, and I hold her child in my arms! |
Kou |
It seems you won't die until you hold the baby of that child either! |
3G |
You may be right about that. |
3G |
Oh, also… Seigan-sama would like to discuss the dates of Nobunaga-sama's memorial service with you. |
Kou |
I understand. Please tell Seigan-sama I am in gratitude for his kindness. |
3G |
Yes ma'am. |
Suzume |
I brought more dango and tea! I got some for Masamune and 3G as well. |
Kou |
Thank you, Suzume-san. |
Masamune |
Thank you. |
3G |
Show some respect to the Youkai King Suzume, and call him Masamune-SAMA. |
Masamune |
Hahaha, it's all right. |
As Kou and others chit chat peacefully, Choushin was staring at them from between the slides. | |
Choushin |
Hmm… it looks fun in there….. And those dango look tasty… |
??? |
If you think so, why don't you just get in the room, place that flower in your hands near Sill, and join in the conversation. |
Choushin |
huh….? |
As Choushin turns around to see who it is, the figure kicks him in his butt and toss him into the room. | |
Choushin |
BUPI-! |
Kou |
Ah, Choushin-san? Oh…. |
??? |
Hey! |
The one who kicked Choushin was Ryouma. | |
Ryouma |
Hey,lemme have some dango! Yeah dango. Hey, can I eat these while I hold you in my arms, Kou? |
Kou |
Au… well, that's…. uh…. |
3G |
Hush!! You may not treat Kou-sama as a doll!! |
Ryouma |
Hey look, it's alright. Right, Kou? |
Kou |
Ah…au….. |
Ryouma |
Here you go, gramps. I brought this flower for Sill. Go decorate it. Oh gosh, Kou you're so warm! |
Kou |
au…. auau….. |
3G |
Stop that!!! |
So the day pass as usual, and as always, it's cheerful and lively around Kou. |
