Love without limits
My decision !!

After parting ways with ryoma and shota, I ran back to the boarding house.

Please let me back off as a woo, please "my word begs saki"

Hearing my breathless request, Saki looked sad.

you didn't mean to go back to being Shinzo, did you? “Ucap saki”

No .. I'm sorry, this is so sudden, I want to resign as a prostitute, and leave the boarding house and Shimabara. "My grandfather"

Your reason? “Task saki”

There's someone I love "my word"

… “Saki is speechless at my answer”

He's at war with a lot of things. And he could die without the knowledge of "my word again”

Ryoma's crying.

He blames himself for leaving shachu to others.

Even today, many of their friends are dying in places that cannot be reached.

Must've hurt.

How sad he felt.

Ryoma and the others each had tasks. Even if they wanted to go and help, there was a reason why they could not.

And still, they blame themselves, and regret things they didn't do, and cry.

If I ... remain weak and continue to cry because takasugi left me ..

And if I find out his death from someone else ..

I can't imagine the regret I'm going to feel.

I might get mad.

So I've decided.

I know that you thought of me, saki, when you told me to let her go. But .. I want to stay by his side. "My grandfather"

I put my hand on the tatami mat, and bowed deeply.

Please, please! "please"

… “Saki diam”

I heard Saki sigh.

And I also heard him laughing.

You begged me? If I say no, you might run away in the middle of the night. “Ucap saki”

then he won't try to stop me. I looked up in shock.

Seeing my eyes open wide, Saki smiled.

Good .. go wherever you want “ucap saki smile”

ah thank you! Thank you for everything, I'm sorry I couldn't repay your kindness. "My grandfather"

I built you up to be a good whore, only to have you snatched away by others. "Saki’

you're a terrible girl I've never heard of a wood that vanished after a trip down the promenade. The demand for you keeps piling up .. do you know how many men come to Shimabara just to see your shadow? “Ucap saki”

All I can do is keep bowing.

He gave in to my selfish requests, and this was all I could do.

Then, I felt a soft touch on my back, and a friendly voice that said to lift my head.

Well, there's no cure for love sickness. And there's nothing I can say. Your desire to be a tayu may be genuine .. but your 'desire' is for takasugi, so it can't help. And the agreement is to make you until you find your way home.I will explain to seiji, so hurry up and get ready.You want to leave as soon as possible right? “Ucap saki”

Just slightly..

I felt her smile tinged with a hint of sadness.

Saki .. I love you so much, saki. "My grandfather"

… “Saki is speechless hearing me”

And ayame too, and ayumi too .. and the other girls too, and the hostel guys and all of Shimabara. "My grandfather"

I looked around the whole room.

Just briefly. Only until I find a way to go back to the future.I can't believe those words now ..

After I made so many memories here.

I was shocked when I was told that I would be a prostitute. A lot of things happened .it made me uncertain and scared. But I'm so happy that I'm allowed to stay here. so . "my word hasn't stopped"

Saki pressed her fingertips against my lips, and stopped my words.

But she quickly picked it up, as if to prevent leaving her warmth.

Don't say anything else, or I don't want to let you go. "Father"

Looking at the look in her troubled eyes, I felt tears welling up.

Goodby.

I'm the one who asked to leave, but I feel that kind of sadness.

don't be like that. Now, go and get ready to go, or I'll change my mind. “Saki capps smile”

With that, he pushed my back.

I hugged her and thanked her and then ran to my own room.

Sherry, be careful, okay? Don't keep getting sick. “Ucap ayumi with worried and sad face”

Uh-huh .. "my word"

Hey, ayumi .. Let's send him with a smile. “Ucap ayame”

When I said goodbye to ayumi and ayame, I cried.

Wiping away my tears, I grabbed Ayame's hand.

Doesn't matter. It's my fault for leaving so suddenly.you're so good to me, ayame. I'm so sorry “ my words don't taste good”

I bowed deeply, and Ayame gave me a beautiful smile.

A beautiful smile that I really like and try to imitate.

It's okay, sherry. you don't have to regret for that “ucap ayame smile”

Standing close to me, Ayame rubbed my cheeks.

you worked hard as Shinzo, and you even became a very beautiful woo. And now, to be able to find the man you really love, and leave Shimabara. “Ucap ayame smile happy”

Ayame .. "murmuring"

Live your life the way you want, Sherry, so you won't regret it. And every time you're in kyo, you come and visit and tell me about your lover. Isn't that right, ayumi? “Ucap ayame”

He-eh .. exactly "ap ayumi"

Ayumi wiped her tears and nodded.

If he hurts someone as beautiful as you, sherry, I'll come and scold him, so just call me. “Ucap ayumi smiling bright”

Ayumi .. who is always by my side and sees things the same way as me.

I thought he was my first friend after coming to this era.

Tears filled my eyes again as I nodded my head repeatedly.

And that is why my smile is not forced, and comes naturally, from the heart.

And thus, I bid farewell to Shimabara.

After leaving Shimabara that night, I went to the mansion of the satsuma clan and waited at the gate.

Ryoma could hardly believe that I stopped being a woo, but I nodded without hesitation.

And when the ryoma injury stabilized, around the end of February .. we left kyo and headed for satsuma.

After reaching Satsuma, we stayed in some hot springs to rest and to heal ryoma wounds.

They asked me if I wanted to speed up his journey, but I wanted the ryoma injury to heal properly, and it seemed like a takasugi away from the choshu.

So we decided to take some time until he came home.

During our hot spring trip, we rode to takachiho George on mt. Kirishim.

Oho! Look, shota! Sherry! Is that what they call amenosakahoko? “Ucap ryoma happy”

Walking leisurely, ryoma faced the mountains.

Shota held onto his forehead and nodded.

These are peaceful and gentle moments.

But after this, sad news awaits ryoma and shota.

During an attempt to form the Satsuma-choshu alliance, a man named Kurata ike works hard with them.

He left kyo in front of us and returned to choshu to work at kameyama shachu.

And he's headed for a baptism of wild waves, a ship bought by the company.

But on the way, the ship he was riding ran aground, and many lives were lost, including ike.

On that day when she received the news in Satsuma, ryoma cried. Shota looked sad as well.

But the next day, they raised their heads, determined to abort their mission.

It's not about forcing themselves to get it out of their minds, or forgetting about it. Every sad and difficult moment was embedded in their hearts and minds, and then, they continued on.

During this era, people died with only a little destiny. In battle, accidents and disease.

No matter how hard they tried to save them, lives were lost one after another.

But they never give up, and never stop trying to help.

Nothing is done in desperation or carelessness.

Each of them just did whatever they could, and gave everything they had.

And that's why, I believe, their smiling faces are always so beautiful. Shortly after probably rolling around ...

Knowing that Takasugi had returned home, we headed to choshu sooner than scheduled.

Ryoma's wounds are almost completely healed, and his ability to handle daily activities is almost back to normal.

Worried about the choshu movement, the shogun had sent a courier asking for information about kogoro and takasugi, and this was another reason to raise the date.

And with the start of the battle became closer ..

All right, he'll be here soon. “Ucap ryoma excited”

Ryoma was fully dressed in western military uniform, and seemed to be quite happy.

He likes unusual things. “Ucap shota”

Therefore, shota stared at the ryoma in her western clothes, as if it was a rare sight for her.

We stand in the port of Shimonoseki.

A message has been sent that ryoma and the others have finished their work at kameyama shachu and climbed into the union towards choshu.

So takasugi had to come to greet us.

I hid behind ryoma and shota.

Every time someone passes by, my heart skips a beat as I look for a red kimono worn without hakama pants.

I peeked through ryoma's back and shota several times ..

you arrived earlier than scheduled “Tanya takasugi to ryoma”

His questioning voice is music in my ears.

He may have lost weight.

But his gaze was the same ..penetrating and intelligent.

He looked somewhat irritated, but he did not lose his composure.

The man I wanted to meet looked very close.

Yes .. we have something very important to deliver. “Ucap ryoma laughs happy”

Ryoma seemed to be anticipating what to follow and smiled mischievously.

But takasugi did not pay attention and looked the other way.

By the way ... You are in the capital, right? Did you see him ? "Ask takasugi as he turned around"

she's she? “Tanya ryoma taunting”

Don't pretend with me, Ryoma. “Ucap takasugi”

Don't you even want to mention his name? “Ucap shota miffed”

Not that, if I mention his name, I want to see him.You don't understand the intricacies of it, that's why you're a child, yuki "say takasugi"

No one asks for your opinion “ucap shota miffed”

Come on, don't get mad, he might not see it, but takasugi is really depressed. Just ignore the explosion of a man with a broken heart. “Ucap ryoma laughs meledek”

Huh “Takasugi”

By the way, about sherry .. she grew up so beautiful "said ryoma smile"

Really true? I was expecting that. Besides, I'm the one who found it. She should always... look beautiful "takasugi"

Oho! Why don't you see for yourself. “Ucap ryoma laugh”

Huh huh? “Takasugi confused with ryoma” greeting

Then .takasugi slowly returned to ryoma and shota.

Seeing me pop my face out from behind them, his eyes could not blink.

… ! “Takasugi surprised”

you ... "speak takasugi"

I also approached takasugi ..

the plaque! “i slapped him pretty hard”

The voice echoed across the harbor.

...! "Everyone is standing there with their mouths open"

I held my hands that were a little throbbing.

How dare you say it, then leave without giving me a chance to speak! Oh, it feels so relieved. "I smile cheerfully at the takasugi whose left cheek is bright red."
