maiagatteiku sajin

The huge sand storm,

karamaru unmei o sashishimesu ka no you ni

As if showing my way to my entwined destiny,

ookiku hirogaru

Opens wide

sono saki ni shinjiteta

I believed if

mirai ga aru naraba

There was a future beyond it

kono mi o toshite made mo

There was a reason for me to fight

tatakau imi ga aru

Even if put myself on the line

yuruginai omoi o kasaneau

We share the same firm belief,

kono chikai shinjiteru

I trust in this vow

taemanai ame ni utare

Getting pounded by the unceasing rain,

shoujo wa namida o nagashita

A girl cries

ubawareta no wa dare no negai

Whose wish did it take away?

michibikidasu sono kotae wa

That answer leading the way,

dare ni mo furesase wa shinai

Won’t let anyone go near it

hakanai hanabira no you ni

It wouldn’t be so bad if the answer

chiru no mo waruku nai to

Disperses like transient flower petals

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in one of Enjutsu-dono’s cities.

It’s a lot livelier than the last time I was here.

Big balls!

Maybe I’ll take a look.

Maybe I’ll buy one as a present for Rin Rin...

Nah, this would be better.

Chapter 05 Sonshoukou Attempts to Fulfill Her Duty

Kan’u!

Shoukou-dono!

Chouhi’s not with you?

No, it’s just me.

Too bad.

This time, I’ll beat her in all ten boob-comparison categories:

size, shape, color, gloss, sensitivity, firmness, taste, smell,

texture, and ability to hold things!

Hold things...

What?

Anything you want to say?

No, nothing.

Anyway, what are you doing here?

Did you run away from home again?

No...

Geez, you never learn.

I don’t know what it is you dislike there,

but a nation’s princess shouldn’t wander around.

What if something happened? You would-

I told you, I’m not running away!

I’m here on an important mission.

Important mission?

You?

What?

Are you saying you think it’s strange that I’d have an important mission?

That’s not what I’m saying.

What do you think I am, anyway?

Assassin!

Prepare to die!

Get back!

Shuutai, stop!

Shoukou-sama!

I’m so sorry!

Shuutai-dono,

it’s fine.

Stop apologizing.

I thought Shoukou-sama was under attack by a thuggish woman with a weapon...

A thuggish woman...

Well, everyone makes mistakes.

Here you are.

But for your guard, Shuutai-dono, and strategist, Rikuson-dono, to be here,

you must really have an important mission.

Yes. For several years now, the Son family and Enjutsu-dono

have fought over a mountain bordering our territory.

Yesterday, when I was cleaning the warehouse,

I found a treaty of friendship between Sonsaku-sama’s mother and the En family.

Marked with both family seals, it declared the mountain to be our territory.

I see.

And so, I’ve come, with the scroll, to negotiate.

I see. That is indeed an important mission.

But Shuuyu-sama and Choukan-san have already worked most of the issues out, under the table.

All that’s left is to hand over the scroll.

Then it’s OK.

Someday, Shoukou-sama will be one of the Son family pillars.

Sonsaku-sama said this is an excellent start.

In other words, this is my first job!

But Enjutsu says she’s busy or doesn’t feel well. She just won’t meet me.

All she has to do is look at the scroll, and it’s done.

But she keeps putting off meeting with Shoukou-sama, trying to prolong this.

But you said this matter was already resolved!

It should have been.

But at the last minute, she may have changed her mind.

Or perhaps she changed her mind, feeling that - even if negotiations fail -

after our repeated military excursions, we lack the strength to fight over it.

It really pisses me off!

If Sheren-neesama brought in her troops, she could take Enjutsu down right away!

No, Shoukou-sama.

Now is the time to reserve our forces.

We need to resolve this without fighting.

But we’ve been here two weeks!

You’ve had to wait that long?

Yes. Thus, we’ve had nothing to do and have come to town...

While I was looking at books, Shoukou-sama ran off.

You said you were only gonna be a minute,

and then you took forever!

I was so bored!

You should have said something.

I did like a million times!

But you were so into your books, you didn’t even hear me!

Now, now, Shoukou-dono...

By the way, Shoukou-sama, you haven’t lost the scroll, have you?

It’s OK!

I put it in here, and I keep it with me at all times!

I won’t lose it!

Oh, my. Miu-san, you’ve become even more beautiful since we last met, as have I!

Reiha-neesama, I’m glad you’re as well as ever.

I’m far better than that.

I’m many times more beautiful than I was.

That’s, uh, good to hear.

By the way, Miu-san,

I hear you’ve put on a play,

chronicling your exploits during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Miu-sama’s play is extremely popular and has run for quite a while now.

And we’re planning something extra for the next performance.

That’s wonderful!

I’d love to see it.

I know!

Why don’t you appear in it, Enshou-sama?

My, that sounds fabulous!

But is there an appropriate role for me?

Yes, why don’t you take the role of Sousou?

Why must someone as beautiful and elegant as I have to play a flatty like her?

Reiha-neesama, it hurts!

I’m sorry.

Enshou-sama, in this play,

Sousou is defeated by the Three Chou Sisters and runs away crying.

If you were to emphasize her disgrace...

It’ll destroy that damn girl’s reputation.

Yes!

Iieshe!

Toshi!

We’re going to be in a play!

My, my... Dealing with Reiha-neesama tires me.

You’re famous for annoying and bothering everyone you meet,

but I see that you’re still no match for your cousin, Enshou-sama.

Yes.

I’d like to get back at her one day,

but when I deal with her, unlike with others, nothing goes right.

But Choukun, why did you ask her to be in the play?

Enshou-sama despises Sousou.

Given that, she’s likely to make quite the fool of herself.

However, it will be Enshou-sama herself who’s on the stage.

I wonder whose reputation will suffer.

I see. So that’s what you had in mind.

And if Sousou hears about this, their relations will worsen even further!

If all goes well, the two may fight each other and both end up exhausting themselves.

Impressive, Choukun!

You’re the finest master of dirty tricks and schemes in Chuugen!

Yes! I am first among your retainers, after all.

Yummy!

We need strength to climb Mt. Taishan.

No one will take it.

There’s no need to eat so quickly.

What?

Don’t you know the saying ”The Early Bird Gets the Bamboo Shoot”?

Hmm, I suppose so.

No, well... That was a joke on ”The Early Bird Gets the Worm”...

You see how I worked bamboo shoots in there?

Don’t make me explain the joke!

It’s embarrassing!

Why are you mad, all of a sudden?

No, not like that!

You need more emphasis!

Be like Gwah!

Um, I’m sorry... I was told not to let anyone in during practice.

Let me see Enjutsu.

What’s all this noise?

Enjutsu, I finally found you!

Oh, hey. It’s the Son family shorty.

I’m not short!

If I’m a shorty, then you’re a shortier!

What?!

Now, now... You two...

Hey, it’s Kan’u! It’s been a while!

Yes.

What happened?

Did you quit your army to serve the Son family?

No. I just... This time, I’m tagging along, I guess.

Enjutsu-sama, I’m sorry for our rudeness.

Could we have a moment of your time?

Your name was Rikuson, yes?

Yes.

I told you I’d contact you, regarding the scroll, at an appropriate time.

But we can’t wait here forever...

Not now!

As you can see, I’m busy with my play.

Especially since, next time, I’m going to have the black-haired bandit hunter appear.

Have you heard of her?

I’m told that she’s a stunning beauty

with long black hair who beats up bad guys, one after another!

I heard the rumors and decided to add her to our play,

but it’s hard to find someone worthy of the part.

She needs to have long black hair and be...

Well, not as pretty as myself, but still very pretty, or the customers won’t be happy.

You have pretty black hair.

Nice face, too.

OK, you’re the black-haired bandit hunter next time.

But I...

Enjutsu-dono, Shuutai-dono seems unhappy.

In these matters, you shouldn’t try to force things your way.

What?

It has nothing to do with you.

Hairstyle...

Glasses...

Hair color.

You three look like the Three Chou Sisters!

Perfect!

You can be the Three Chou Sisters in the next play!

Wait!

Why do we have to help with your play?

If you do, I might be willing to look at that scroll of yours.

What will you do?

Let me know.

Fine!

We’ll do it!

We just have to do this, right?

More!

Tie it tighter!

I’m going to perform as that horrible flatty, Sousou.

Tie it until you can’t see my breasts anymore!

Right!

Is it OK for us to do this?

Why not?

This play sounds fun.

Not that.

Reiha-sama,

the court tasked you with pacifying the northern bandits.

Are you sure you can ignore that?

I don’t care!

It’s just Toutaku forcing the court to issue that directive.

There’s no need to concern ourselves with it.

Kashin was banished, and then Choujou took power... And Toutaku after that!

While she may be better than that filthy eunuch Choujou,

to think that a lord from so far out in the frontier...

That’s...

It’s my grandmother, who died when I was young!

Grandmother!

I’m coming to you!

Reiha-sama!

Reiha-sama!

Iieshie! You tied it too tightly!

I was about to see my dead grandmother!

Shoukou-sama, we need to put in some pads.

That’s right. Otherwise, the top will sag and won’t look right.

Fine!

Everyone!

Are you ready?

Yes.

Choukun-dono, I know it may be a bit late,

but doesn’t this script treat the Three Chou Sisters a little poorly?

They repented, and now they work to cheer up the troops.

Oh, don’t worry.

In this play, the Three Chou Sisters are simply named that because they shout “chou” a lot.

They don’t have anything in common with the real ones.

See? The fine print states that

the “Chou Sisters” in this play are unrelated to any persons, living or dead.

You villains who take advantage of war, preying on the peasantry...

I, the black-haired bandit hunter, shall punish you!

She’s so pretty!

She’s so cool!

Who’s that?

She, chou, pisses me off.

Let’s get her, chou!

Right, chou!

This is kinda hard to do...

We’re outmatched, chou!

Now I want to, chou, kick her ass with magic!

Leave it to me, chou!

Shibetsutanisamanteuko.

Sushinidesunteuso.

Monster!

That black-haired bandit hunter was, chou, nothing!

Take that, chou!

Bandits,

now that the completely unfamous,

flat-chested adopted daughter of a filthy eunuch, Sousou, is here,

it’s all over for you!

Kakouton, get them!

They’re, chou, annoying!

It might be, chou, hard ‘cause there are so many!

Then we’ll beat them with music, chou!

Even if a mischievous cloud gets in our way, we’re not alone. We won’t give up.

A dream flying toward the sky of hope...

What is this?

Jun Iku says: This may some kind of evil song-magic.

Jun Iku says: We’re doomed!

Jun Iku! You have an intelligence stat of 95, right?

Do something!

I can’t!

What was that?

Such losers!

Sousou is such a, chou, wimp!

That’s it for you!

Who’s there, chou? Show yourself, chou!

Enjutsu-sama!

Get ‘em!

You evildoers, who deceive pure hearts with your foul songs,

I shall punish you with my songs of love and justice!

I place it deep in my heart, where I still believe it more...

And that settles it!

What was that crappy play?

But now we can get her to see the scroll.

Is this...

Could we...

We were robbed!

The scroll! The scroll was in here!

It’s gone!

It’s not here!

What do we do?

Shoukou-sama, calm down.

But the scroll...

Be quiet.

Listen. If the En family finds out the scroll is gone, we’re in big trouble.

She said she’d look at it if we helped with her play.

But knowing her, if we don’t press the issue, she’ll put it off.

We can use that to buy time and think of how to handle this.

Fine.

Everyone, good work.

The play was a huge success, thanks in part to you.

So I’ll look at that scroll.

What’s wrong?

Show it to me.

Umm, err...

You’re not going to tell me you lost it, are you?

Of course we didn’t.

Here is the scroll.

Here you go.

Well?

It’s not a fake, is it?

No... This is, indeed, the real scroll.

Then you will allow us to take possession of the mountain.

Shuutai stole the scroll?

Why?

Explain yourself!

Um... Well, Rikuson-sama insisted I pretend to be a thief

and hide the scroll, once my part ended.

Enjutsu-sama did say that she would look at the scroll if we helped her with her play.

But they were just words.

Not something to be trusted.

Thus, if we pretended the scroll was stolen,

she would agree to see it, in the hopes of tripping us up.

I see.

If she sent you home, without looking at the scroll,

she would have been dubbed a promise-breaker,

and her reputation would have gotten even worse.

Yes, but if we couldn’t produce the scroll,

that’d be our fault, and she’d need neither to agree to its contents

nor suffer a blow to her reputation.

So she thought... But it turned out to be your trap.

I thought it would take some doing to get word to her that the scroll had been stolen,

but things worked better than I thought.

What’s wrong, Shoukou-sama?

You seem unhappy.

I understand the situation, but why didn’t you tell me?

You need to deceive your friends to deceive your enemies...

And you always show your emotions on your face.

I see.

A wise decision.

You’re making fun of me!

Rikuson, as punishment for deceiving me,

I’m taking half of your oversized boobs!

Stop it! If you pull that hard, they’ll stretch!

Shoukou-dono, I understand you’re upset, but calm down!

Shut up! Shut up!

You’ve got boobs, too. No one wants to listen to you!

U-chan, make sure Rikuson-sama’s letter reaches Shuuyu-sama.

Thanks.
