(Previous episode, ending with Shoku heading to capture Shisui Gate)
Huh? Is the enemy momentum weakening?
Huh? It's true... why would that be?
I don't know... but there's a confusion near Kayu-san's flag.
Did something happen to Kayu?.. What?
Can it be, Kayu-san was killed in action?
No way. Do you think that famous Kayu will get killed that easily?
But a lot may happen on the battlefield...
No, no, no way. And it's planned that I defeat Kayu, so I don't want her killed here.
Haha, planned... Then go defeat Kayu-san now, Bun-chan.
Can't right now!
S, so you can't. Why?
I don't feel to right now. It's pointless to gamble when you don't feel like winning.
Huh? Did you say something?
No, I didn't... Well, for now I'll send scouts to check, okay?
Why not? I'll leave it to Toshi.
Really... Bun-chan do some working too. (I wonder, why don't she use her mana... or Enshou's mana)
Gi soldier: General Kakoton! There seems to be a confusion at enemy main force!
Confusion? What's the reason?
Gi soldier: Right. We don't know right now. But we sent scouts towards enemy main force, so we'll know soon.
I see. Good job... What do you think, Shuuran?
Hm... Even though she's fighting that Enshou's force, I really doubt that Kayu will lose control of her troops that easily.
Then there's only one possible answer.
That something happened to Kayu?
Probably... After all, before this happened Ryubi army did something.
Do you think one of Ryubi's generals defeated Kayu?
There is a high probability of that... She has some good generals after all.
They got to her first!... Now I have nothing to present Karin-sama...
Heh. It's too early to get depressed. Let's figure out the situation for now.
Yeah.
Hm... Kayu force's movement has weakened.
Seems so... Probably one of Ryubi's vassals defeated her. (Now that was a fast conclusion)
Huh?... Why do you think Kayu was defeated?
No reason... Intuition, I suppose.
Intuition, huh... Someone, come here.
Go soldier: Yes!
Sent a scout towards Kayu army's main force. I want to know the situation.
Go soldier: Yes!
Ah. You don't believe in what I said?
If I believed intuition that easily, I'd fail as a strategist, right? I'm a realist.
I'm sure it's correct...
Indeed, your intuition was never wrong... but for commoners to understand words of those, blessed by heavens, there needs to be an explanation.
How troublesome, really...
Don't say so. Put yourself into commoners' shoes.
Yes, yes... So? We're not just waiting until information arrives, right?
Of course. We'll use this confusion to capture Shisui gate right away.
That's better! Then, I'll go ahead!
Right. However, don't overdo it, okay?
I'll consider it... See ya.
...Sigh. Really, you won't even consider it... Someone, come here!
Go soldier: Yes!
Send a messenger to Kogai-dono at front. Tell her to hold Hakufu's reins properly.
Go soldier: Yes!
Soldier A: Ryubi-sama! Chou(Zhao), Kan and Chou(Zhang) flags at front all started to move at once!
Eh? Can it mean...
Kazuto: It means strategy was a success, I guess.
Probably. Now's our chance. Command main force to meet up with Aisha-san!
I think finishing off Kayu force and heading towards Shisui gate is good.
Kazuto: ...Well, that's our strategists' opinion.
Of course, I'll follow it! Shuri-chan, Hinari-chan, I'll leave commanding to you.
Yes! Then, all troops, let's move towards the front!
After meeting Aisha-san, we'll concentrate on defeating Kayu force. Everyone, don't drop your battle readiness.
Ryubi army: Yes!
As soldiers were looking confident, answering Shuri-tachi's orders...
It's finally the final phase of attacking Shisui gate! I suppose...
Unable to supress her excitement, Touka muttered while blushing faintly.
Kazuto: Yeah... let's hold on just a bit more.
Yeah! Well then, everyone! Full forward! Let's meet up with Aisha-chan-tachi.
Ryubi army: Yes!
And...
Due to Rinrin defeating Kayu, Kayu's force collapsed fast.
During that confusion, Shisui gate got captured by Sonsaku... And alliance has advanced one step towards capturing Rakuyo.
Totaku soldier: Kayu-sama! Stay with us! We'll arrive to a town that has doctor! Hold on until then!
Yeah... I won't lose from that little of a wound.
Totaku soldier: Of course! Kayu-sama is our lord! And a brave warlord..!
You would still call me lord, despite me losing in a duel...
Totaku soldier: Kayu-sama is the best lord... Us vassals will follow you anywhere..!
You guys...!
Totaku soldier: Kayu-sama!
You guys!
Totaku soldier: Kayu-sama!
You guuuuys!
Totaku soldier: Kayu-samaaaaa!
