Say .. sherry .. You want to stop him fighting? “Task shota”
Huh huh? “I don't understand”
Do you want to take him away from the battlefield and live with him in a safe place? “Ask shota again”
i'm..
mm-mmm ... "I shook my head in return"
I knew such a wish would never come true.
No matter what I say, he will never run away from battle out of love for his country.
Instead, I want to stay close and support him. I'm sure he's going through some tough times. I want to let go of some of that burden. But I can't express my feelings. He won't even let me try. "I finished and took a deep breath"
Then I rubbed my eyes again.
After saki was good enough to give me a day off .. and finally I cried until my eyes turned red.
I felt so tormented, I couldn't look up.
Burying my face on my knees, I waited quietly until the tears receded.
Then .. "take a happy shota"
the sound of the shota is cheerful and positive.
I looked up in shock, and he looked straight at me.
Let's go to takasugi .. and tell him. “Take shota”
(Don't?)
Uhh ..! “I was shocked to hear his invitation”
Shota's suggestion made me jump. I never mentioned the name takasugi.
Ba-ba-how do you know ..? “Tanyaku”
oh, it's obvious. “Shota laughs slowly”
before when we started talking about takasugi, you reacted strangely “he said again”
oh, am I weird? “Tanyaku”
yes ... so strange, I wonder what kind of man would make you like this? So ... after that, I met takasugi, "say shota"
you met him, shota? “Tanyaku surprised”
yeah .. he's very carefree and selfish, but .. I think he's an amazing guy. He can do things that no one else can. And .. "pronounced shota and laughed wryly, his eyes narrowed .."
I found out that he's the one you love, sherry. “Ucapnya again”
oh. "my answer"
I'm fine with that. And I can understand why you want to be with her.well, she always keeps teasing me, so I'm not too interested in getting close to her, but . "saying shota laughs wryly again and looks up at the sky"
She spread her hands out in the sun, and closed her eyes ...
I asked takasugi if he remembered sherry. “Ucap shota”
I felt my heart tighten, Nervously, I saw a shota.
He didn't say a word. “Ucap shota”
Hearing that, I suddenly felt pain, but ...
That was the first time I saw a takasugi at a loss for words. There was so much pain in his eyes. “Ucapnya again”
the second part of his sentence made my heart jump.
Takasugi's on choshu now.
We were very far apart, but he still had memories of me.
Shota laughed again, seeing me confused and uncertain ..
That's when I knew that this man loved you too, sherry. I thought the truth was. Takasugi missed you so much. “Ucap shota smile”
Oh. "my word"
I felt like my body was getting warm, but I was afraid to raise my expectations. But I want to believe him.
Sensing my uncertainty, shota grabbed my shoulder and looked straight into my eyes.
So sherry .. If there's anything you want to tell her, let's go. We were scheduled to go to satsuma, so ryoma could recover first. After that, we'll probably go to choshu. “Ucap shota”
But . "my words doubt"
Look, he said everything he had to say, and didn't give you a chance at all, did he, Sherry? Well, this time, you go to her, and tell her everything from your teardrops. “Ucap shota laugh”
Sure do. Let all your feelings go. And if he still tried to escape, I would hit him in the face, and tell him to act like a man! “Ucap shota smile”
I put my hand on my heart.
And I imagined what Shota said.
Face him at the choshu and tell him what I think of him for leaving me.
Sounds very .. interesting.
If I do this, whatever the outcome, the burden in my heart will be lifted.
(but .. what am I going to do about the hostel?)
It worries me, and I can't agree right away.
If I go to satsuma and choshu, just a few days off won't work.
It could even mean a few months .. I don't think I can continue being a prostitute.
After seiji entrusted me to saki, I became deeply indebted to saki and the others.
And when I became a woo, I could not tell them that I was leaving Shimabara.
Knowing that I was in a dilemma, shota patted me on the shoulder comfortably.
Well, we're not leaving for now. Magistrate officials are still watching us. And there are still ships to secure and ryoma injuries are still recovering. Maybe by the end of February we will be gone. So, you don't have to decide right away now .. "say shota"
Later then…
There was a loud noise from the ryoma room.
Huh huh?
Shota and I exchanged shocked looks, and ran in.
When I returned to ryoma's room with shota ..
Really it? “Ask ryoma to his subordinates”
Ryoma was there, his eyes widened in shock, along with the tall man who turned his eyes sadly and nodded.
Beside the mattress near the ryoma there is a broken tea cup that may be the cause of the sound earlier.
Neither ryoma nor the man seemed to notice.
r-ryoma…? “Ucap shota panic”
is something wrong? “Tanyau worry”
we asked in fear, and the man noticed our presence and sighed, and explained.
On the same day ryoma and the others were attacked in the teradaya inn.
His friend in Nagasaki, a man named isao kondo . did harakiri.
Last year .. About the time ryoma and the others left kyo to mediate between satsuma and choshu, they, along with the people of the tosa clan, formed a trading company they named kameyama shachu.
Ryoma is busy trying to convince the kogoro and saigo, so he asks the man from the shachu to arrange for the ship to transport the weapons needed for negotiations.
There were many problems, but somehow, things went smoothly, and resulted in an alliance between satsuma and choshu.
But .. kameyama shachu has been given an honorarium for the job, and a man named Kondo uses part of it to try to be a stowaway on a ship to England.
And .. kameyama shachu has strict guard.
* regardless of how big or small, every effort made should be discussed with the entire company. Anyone who breaks this promise for personal gain will be punished and ordered to commit harakiri. *
Kondo hasn't told anyone when he left.
So when the plan was found ..
He was charged with breaking a promise, and was responsible for slicing his stomach.
Ryoma lowered his head the entire time that the man described.
Shota seems to be familiar with kondo as well ..
All he can say is why ..
And that seems to be the breaking point ..
Uh. If I were there, I wouldn't let him die! "Ryoma sound "
At that moment, something inside me felt the deepest pain.
