Izumi | (Later, in order to help their struggling allies, Kurou attacked the Taira clan's base.) |
Benkei | "Our chance should come around soon. They have started rebuilding over there. It's better to retreat around here." |
Tadanobu | "How about we keep pushing them like this?" |
Benkei | "Injured soldiers from both parties are going to come out. It'll be a mud-slinging battle." |
Tsugunobu | "What would you like to do, Kurou-sama?" |
Kurou | "Let's run away!" |
Benkei | "You've made a decision unusually fast. Has the alcohol effect worn off?" |
Kurou | "In, in any case, let's run away quickly! Right now!" |
Tsugunobu | "--Kurou-sama!" |
| *arrows shoot* |
Kurou | "--uh." |
Tsugunobu | "Aargh--." |
| *collapses* |
Tadanobu | "Brother!" |
Kurou | "Whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa." |
Benkei | "It came from that direction." |
Tadanobu | "This is for injuring Brother--!" |
Tsugunobu | "Don't kill people as you please…" |
Kurou | "Do-Don't move. Your wound is pretty deep." |
Tsugunobu | "Are you unharmed, Kurou-sama?" |
Kurou | "I-I'm fine… because you covered me. We have to treat your wound right away." |
Tsugunobu | "This is not a big deal. Let's go." |
Kurou | "N-No! Don't move!" |
Tsugunobu | "Please take me with you. I shall go with Kurou-sama anywhere." |
Kurou | "I'm sure we can meet again. Until then, focus on healing your wound." |
Tsugunobu | "...I understand. I will surely rush to your side again, Kurou-sama." |
Kurou | "Why are you going this far… I'm not someone worthy of being told such a thing." |
| "It was all because of alcohol that I could save you at the time. If I was sober, there's no way I'd be able to move even a single step." |
| |
Yuzo | (The way he portrayed the inner conflict within Kurou, who fights with the power of alcohol… That was a good performance.) |
Haruto | (Madoka's brother is good. It pisses me off, though.) |
| |
Benkei | "...The tide has turned. Now." |
Kurou | "Follow me! Let's jump onto the ship!" |
Tadanobu | "Kurou-sama, I shall go with you!" |
| "Haah!" |
| *attacks* |
Benkei | "Don't be too enthusiastic. That's so unlike you." |
Tadanobu | "I have to play my brother's part too. I don't have any other excuse." |
Benkei | "So you're that kind of person?" |
Tadanobu | "If I don't do it, Brother will be filled with vexation to the point where he'd cut his healed abdomen." |
Benkei | "I see." |
Tadanobu | "Hya!" |
| *attacks* |
Kurou | "Tadanobu! Behind you!" |
Enemy Soldier | "Haah!" |
| *attacks* |
Tadanobu | "--urrgh, I can still go on!" |
| *attacks back* |
Enemy Soldier | "Aargh!" |
Tadanobu | "*pants* *pants*..." |
Kurou | "Tadanobu! Pull yourself together!" |
Tadanobu | "Just as I thought, this is what happens when you do something out of character." |
Kurou | "You'll be fine. I'll bring this to an end soon." |
Tadanobu | "In that case… Please let me rest for a bit…" |
| *collapsing sounds* |
Kurou | "*snores*..." |
Benkei | "Hey, you! Don't fall asleep!" |
Kurou | "Nggh!" |
Benkei | "Do you want to drink?" |
Kurou | "No, I'm good." |
Benkei | "Your legs are trembling, you know." |
Kurou | "H-Haaa!" |
| *attacks* |
Benkei | "Goodness." |
| |
Kasumi | (That Masumi kid doesn't look like the type to deliver a passionate performance, but… You really should not judge a book by its cover, huh.) |
| (Now that I think about it, he was Sakuya-kun's partner in the RomiJuli play. I've gotta check him out!) |
| |
Izumi | (Kurou tried to return to Yoritomo's side in Kamakura, expecting his brother to congratulate him on his achievement. But instead of being congratulated, he was prevented from entering Kamakura.) |
Subordinate | "Is this all right, My Lord?" |
Yoritomo | "That was a little bit too much. You may take your leave." |
Subordinate | "Yes!" |
Yoritomo | "The Minamoto clan won't be united as one if we get carried away by our brotherly feelings. If I had at least the average talent, I'd have managed to do something, but…" |
| "Resent me who lacks power, my brother." |
| |
Izumi | (Kurou, after getting attacked in Kyoto, learned that his brother Yoritomo tried to kill him…) |
Kurou | "T-This must be some kind of mistake! I'm sure we'll be able to get him to understand if we talk it out!" |
Benkei | "Snap out of it. Your brother sees you as an eyesore. We'll get into trouble if we don't run away as soon as possible." |
Kurou | "B-But--." |
Benkei | "Do you remember what you said to me? You told me to get out and see a wider world. Is our era Kamakura-dono's era?" |
Kurou | "--." |
Benkei | "You really are no good if you don't have any alcohol, huh." |
Kurou | "N-No… I can't keep relying on alcohol…" |
Benkei | "Shut up and drink." |
Kurou | "Urgh--*gulps* *gulps*." |
Benkei | "So what are you going to do? Are you going to keep clinging on to your brother?" |
Kurou | "--N-No, but…" |
Benkei | "Is the alcohol not enough?" |
Kurou | "N-No, it's enough! Even my brother's feelings… I've understood that enough! I know I can't walk alongside my brother…" |
Benkei | "Hey, we have no time to cry here." |
Kurou | "...I know. I… I still have a bond that's deeper than a blood connection in me." |
Benkei | "That's good. Let's make our escape right away. I'll protect your back." |
Kurou | "I'm counting on you, Benkei." |
| |
Zen | (With Hiro getting heavily involved, that Summer Troupe leader delivered a great performance.) |
| (Even that scriptwriter performed both his roles as a scriptwriter and an actor well.) |
| |
Izumi | (As Kurou went into hiding somewhere around Kyoto, he heard news of his allies being killed. Thus, he relied on the Oshu Fujiwara clan again.) |
| (Yasuhira, who has become the head of the Family after Hidehira's passing, gladly welcomed Kurou with open arms.) |
Yasuhira | "Have you been well, Kurou-dono?" |
Kurou | "My apologies. I'll be in your care." |
Yasuhira | "Please stay here as long as you want. Kamakura-dono won't be able to reach here." |
Kurou | "You've grown into a fine man. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your father." |
Yasuhira | "My father was also worried about you, Kurou-dono. I shall carry on his intentions." |
Kurou | "Thanks." |
| |
Shifuto | (Heh, Kumon really looks like a Sengoku warlord. How cool.) |
Reni | (So he's the brother of Autumn Troupe's Juza Hyodo… His skill is far from good, but he gives an upright performance.) |
| (I'm sure he will continue to grow from now on.) |
| |
Yasuhira's Subordinate | "If Kamakura-dono is launching an attack, we will not be able to withstand it. What are we going to do?" |
Yasuhira | "Despite that, I can't betray Kurou-dono." |
Kurou | "Tarou-dono, I don't mind if you're going to abandon me." |
Yasuhira | "But--." |
Kurou | "I will not die. Believe me." |
Yasuhira | "--I apologize." |
| |
Benkei | "Just as I thought, fighting this number of people will be tough." |
Kurou | "B-Benkei, do you have any plans?" |
Benkei | "Don't be unreasonable. You were the one who tried to show off." |
Kurou | "It, it can't be--!" |
Benkei | "I have no choice, then. I'll take over here. You go ahead." |
Kurou | "Are you going to take on this number of soldiers alone? That's absurd!" |
Benkei | "Don't ask any questions. Just drink and go." |
Kurou | "No! I won't do somethin--." |
Benkei | "You sure are troublesome. Come on--." |
Kurou | "I will not drink! And that's that!" |
Benkei | "...This is the first time I see you doing your best while sober. Unfortunately, I will not yield either. This is the only way." |
Kurou | "--What are the odds of you winning?" |
Benkei | "Have you forgotten? I've only lost to you. Now, if you get it, go. I'll join you later." |
Kurou | "--Make sure you join me." |
| *runs* |
Benkei | "Your sake--Looks like you don't need it anymore." |
| "At first, I simply went along out of curiosity since he could change so much just by drinking sake." |
| "You truly showed me something interesting." |
| "I was wondering how far a miserable man like him could go with the power of alcohol, but he's grown." |
| "I initially intended to continue living while only believing in my sword, but you helped me realize that human beings are not that bad." |
| *unsheathes sword.* |
Benkei | "My name is Benkei Musashibo! Now, which one of you will give me my 1,000th piece!?" |
| |
Syu | (Heh… Not bad. He gives us a thrilling performance. Both the plot and lines are also not that bad.) |
| (I've already felt your seriousness.) |
| |
Yoritomo | "Chase him! Don't let him go!" |
Kurou | "Why, Brother!? Why do you--." |
Yoritomo | "You are gaining too many forces. In order for the Minamoto clan to unite as one, we don't need two leaders." |
Kurou | "--." |
Yoritomo | "Serve as the foundation of Minamoto's restoration. I shall turn you into a tragic hero whose story will continue to be passed down forever." |
Kurou | "--Ha!" |
| *attacks* |
Yoritomo | "--I see, so you're going to go against me until the end. However, I will also not give up!" |
Kurou | "Get out of my way! I can't afford to stop here. For the sake of my friends who are waiting for me, I will not die!" |
| "Hyaaa!" |
| *attacks* |
| |
Hiro | (His one-on-one fight with Yoritomo… Shit, he did well in both the comedy and serious scenes. He's cool.) |
| |
Izumi | (Running away all by himself, Kurou carried a small boat to the shoreline of the dark beach…) |
Kurou | "--*pants* *pants*" |
Tsugunobu | "I shall help you." |
Kurou | "--Tsugunobu, Tadanobu!" |
Tsugunobu | "We apologize for being late. We heard you were already killed when we were heading to Oshu…" |
Tadanobu | "But our brother didn't believe the rumors and insisted that there's no way Kurou-sama is dead." |
Tsugunobu | "Please let me fulfill my vow." |
Kurou | "Thank you for coming." |
Tadanobu | "Benkei-dono…" |
Kurou | "He remained at the Koronogawa House so that I could escape." |
Tsugunobu | "I see… Even though there are sides of him that I dislike, he is still a very loyal samurai." |
Benkei | "Hey, you brothers, don't just go assuming I'm dead." |
Kurou | "Benkei! You're safe!" |
Benkei | "Fortunately, I'm still alive." |
Kurou | "All right. Let's depart right away." |
Tsugunobu | "As you wish." |
Benkei | "Where to?" |
Kurou | "To a wider world beyond the faraway ocean!" |
Benkei | "Are you sober?" |
Kurou | "Yes." |
Benkei | "Very good. I'll follow you." |
Tsugunobu | "I shall accompany you wherever you go!" |
Tadanobu | "It can't be helped, then. We literally passed the point of no return." |
Kurou | "Let's go! From now on, our skills will be put to test for real!" |
Izumi | (As the boat that the four got on pulled out to sea, the dawn broke before long…) |
| |
Syu | (I see. So it's a dawn that faces towards hope and expectations for the future. Moreover, the youth and light are shockingly bright…) |
| (This is the story that you wrote, Tsuzuru Minagi. It's not a story that Hakkaku-san would ever write. This is your genuine story.) |
