Kiichi Hogen

...Well done. Well done indeed, Shana-oh.

You have learned everything I have to teach you about my style of swordplay.

Now, you may create a style of your very own.

Shana-oh

?

What do you mean, "style"?

Kiichi Hogen

Oh... Right.

Japan still doesn't have a strong concept of styles and schools, does it? Well, never mind that. Just do what you think is best.

Do what you like. Live how you like.

But whatever you do, do not be quick to throw your life awa

Shana-oh

Understood!

Then I'm going to use these techniques you taught me...

...to kill them all.

Shana-oh

I'm going to take every one of their heads.

I have to do it. It's what's expected of me.

Kiichi Hogen

Shana-oh.

Shana-oh

Yes?

Kiichi Hogen

Are you talking about the Taira clan?

Shana-oh

I can't answer that, Mentor. Not without making trouble for you.

Kiichi Hogen

Then I'll put it a different way. ...Did your mother tell you to do this?

Shana-oh

No, she didn't.

... ...

Well... I suppose she did say a few things to me before she left.

But this desire to butcher the enemy is mine and mine alone, Mentor! Just look at this!

It's a letter from my brother! Would you like to read it, Mentor!?

It says that in Kamakura

Kiichi Hogen

...No, that's all right. I'm not interested.

Really, Shana-oh, how many times have I told you I have no interest in ANY matters pertaining to this world.

I have no interest in siding with either Taira or Genji. I merely took you on as a student.

And when I say "you," Shana-oh, I don't mean you, the child of Genji's leader; I just mean you, the person.

Shana-oh

...?

Kiichi Hogen

...

I wouldn't normally concern myself with this sort of thing, but...

Please don't go too far from here, Shana-oh.

The place you seek now...

...is sadder, emptier, and more terrible than anyone should have to bear.

Shana-oh

Don't be ridiculous, Mentor.

My sword, my body, even my life itself...

I'm certain they only exist so that I may help my brother in Azuma Province.

Detestable.

Loathsome. Despicable. Abhorrent.

I am hatred.

I am endless fury.

I am undying hellfire.

I detest the Genji.

I loathe, despise, and abhor them.

And you, Yoritomo!

You, I hate more than anything.

I love you so much I can hardly stand it.

Your choice

Ushiwakamaru?

?!

Oho.

To think there was someone willing to speak to me...

...even as I stand alone in the fires of hatred.

Interesting.

You are an interesting one, Master of Chaldea...

Kiichi Hogen

So...I have a new student now, huh.

It was a bit spur of the moment, but I still can't believe I took on a new student after all this time.

...Hehe. Hehehehe. It's been a long time since I took a walk along a beach with one of my students!

Well, Master of Chaldea? How do you like walking on the beach with your awesome new mentor!?

Not like any other walk on the beach you've had, I bet! Aren't you having fun!?

Your choice

Well, we're in the middle of an emergency, so...not really.

Honestly, it's hard to feel like I'm on vacationwhen we still have a crisis that needs to be resolved!

Jason

Hey, Ushiwaka.

Ushiwakamaru

Yes? What is it?

Jason

I know you've always had a screw or two loose, but what's the deal with your mentor there?

Was she always such a doting parentuh, teacher?

Ushiwakamaru

No, I don't believe she was. She was known far and wide for her harshness!

In fact, in all the time I've known her, I don't think I've ever seen her grin like that.

Medb

Well you could have fooled me. I've seen some doters in my time, and she's definitely up there with them.

Kiichi Hogen

Student!

Ushiwakamaru

Oh! Yes?

Kiichi Hogen

For the last time, I wasn't talking to you!

Your choice

Y-yes?

Um...did you mean me?

Kiichi Hogen

?!

It looks like we're in yet another country, and I'm sure you must be exhausted from all this jumping around.

Especially seeing how you were just spacing out not too long ago.

Your choice

Oh, that? That was, um...

Your choice

It was kind of like a daydream, only not really...

I don't remember it too clearly, but it almost felt like I was dreaming...

Benkei

Oh! Then it must have been one of your so-called REM episodes!

Medb

Hmm.

Maybe you unwittingly forged a connection with some Chaldean Heroic Spirit, Master?

Benkei

That's certainly possible. And in this case...

The most likely suspect would seem to be the runaway Evil Ushiwaka, i.e. Lord Ushiwakamaru's Spirit Origin.

Jason

Yeah, that sounds about right, seeing how this whole thing started with her Spirit Origin going nuts.

Kiichi Hogen

I see. It sounds like being the Master of Chaldea is more trouble than I thought.

Well then, how about a shoulder rub?

Part of being a good teacher is occasionally rewarding your students' good work, you know!

Ushiwakamaru

What!?

Wh-what did you just say?

I've never heard you so much as say the word "reward" before, let alone actually offer one!

And now you're handing them out just like that!?

Nn...

No faaair! I want a reward, too!

Kiichi Hogen

The only reward I have for foolish students like you is the right to rub MY shoulders.

Ushiwakamaru

Oh Mentor, there you go with your jokes again! Can't you save those for after you've rubbed my shoulders?

Kiichi Hogen

Who's joking?

Cú Chulainn Alter

Quit playing around already. If you've got time on your hands, how 'bout you spend it looking for information that can actually help us?

Medb

Oh my, Cú, you're so assertive!

Cú Chulainn Alter

Shut up.

Kiichi Hogen

Cú there is right. Alright everyone, let's split up and gather all the information we can find!

All

Yeah!
