**[00:10] ---**
My lord...
**[00:12] ---**
You're finally going to be
my big sister, aren't you?
**[00:15] ---**
Good girl...
**[00:18] ---**
You need to pay some attention to me, too!
**[00:22] ---**
You're a good girl, as well...
**[00:24] ---**
My lord!
**[00:25] ---**
Us, too!
**[00:28] ---**
Good girls!
**[00:30] ---**
But I don't think I'm going
to make it through this...
**[00:35] ---**
M-Me, too!
**[00:37] ---**
Here I go!

**[02:21] ---**
This goes here, and that goes there...
**[02:24] ---**
Kenshin-san, put those there.
**[02:27] ---**
OK.
**[02:34] ---**
Stop it, both of you!
**[02:37] ---**
Hideyoshi is such an entertaining girl.
**[02:41] ---**
This year's festival
**[02:42] ---**
will be a big success because of her.
**[02:46] ---**
It's that time of year when
we hold an event for the people.
**[02:51] ---**
I see.
**[02:52] ---**
So it's festival time already?
**[02:54] ---**
Yes.
**[02:55] ---**
Let me see...
**[02:56] ---**
Shall we call the mikos and have a dance again?
**[02:59] ---**
Yes, I've made the preparations.
**[03:03] ---**
As always, Shingen-dono and
Kenshin-dono will be attending,
**[03:07] ---**
so I've prepared for that.
**[03:08] ---**
Well done, Mitsuhide.
**[03:11] ---**
Thank you...
**[03:12] ---**
U-Um...
**[03:15] ---**
What is it?
**[03:16] ---**
A miko's dance is like a religious celebration, right?
**[03:21] ---**
What of it?
**[03:24] ---**
If we're arranging it,
**[03:26] ---**
why not put on something like a cultural fair?
**[03:29] ---**
A cultural fair?
**[03:30] ---**
What's that?
**[03:33] ---**
Like a play...
**[03:34] ---**
If you can't explain it, then don't interrupt!
**[03:37] ---**
Why not?
**[03:39] ---**
Hideyoshi, what is this "play"?
**[03:42] ---**
It's easier to understand than something religious,
**[03:45] ---**
and I'm sure everyone would love it!
**[03:47] ---**
OK! Do this "play," Hideyoshi!
**[03:51] ---**
Me?
**[03:52] ---**
But there's no stage or script...
**[03:56] ---**
Everyone, let's go!
**[03:59] ---**
*Why must she always interfere?!*

**[04:13] ---**
I had no idea how hard it is to make a stage...
**[04:16] ---**
I want to go to bed.
**[04:17] ---**
But I need to write that script!
**[04:20] ---**
Do your best, self!
**[04:22] ---**
Hey...
**[04:23] ---**
I've heard that for the last three days.
**[04:27] ---**
Well, I've never written anything
longer than a text message!
**[04:32] ---**
I can't think of a story.
**[04:34] ---**
Fine.
**[04:36] ---**
I'll give you an idea.
**[04:38] ---**
Really?
**[04:39] ---**
What kind?
**[05:04] ---**
Thank you!
**[05:06] ---**
What a wonderful person!
**[05:08] ---**
No, not at all.
**[05:10] ---**
More importantly, are you hurt?
**[05:13] ---**
I'll never forget this.
**[05:15] ---**
But how can I repay you?
**[05:17] ---**
Those men took my wallet.
**[05:21] ---**
And my clothes are all torn...
**[05:23] ---**
I've nothing to give you!
**[05:25] ---**
But you do!
**[05:26] ---**
You, yourself!
**[05:28] ---**
No way!
**[05:30] ---**
Then how about...
**[05:34] ---**
We lose...
**[05:36] ---**
Please, just don't kill us.
**[05:40] ---**
Then strip.
**[05:46] ---**
That doesn't work, either!
**[05:58] ---**
Shiro, I want your child.
**[06:02] ---**
Oh, Shiro!
**[06:04] ---**
Idiot!
**[06:07] ---**
Someone, help me with the script!
**[06:12] ---**
What should I do?
**[06:14] ---**
I can't do this myself...
**[06:19] ---**
Shingen-san, are you there?
**[06:23] ---**
I'd like your help with something...
**[06:29] ---**
Actually, never mind.
**[06:49] ---**
What should I do?
**[06:51] ---**
It's almost morning!
**[06:53] ---**
I'll never make it!
**[06:57] ---**
Someone, help...
**[06:58] ---**
I'll help you!
**[06:59] ---**
Yoshimoto-san?!
**[07:00] ---**
You're putting on a play.
Right, Hideyoshi-chan?
**[07:02] ---**
Why didn't you talk to me?
**[07:05] ---**
Um... Well...
**[07:07] ---**
When it comes to the arts, you can count on me.
**[07:10] ---**
See?
**[07:13] ---**
*Tale of the Bamboo Cutter*, the *Tale of Ise*,
**[07:15] ---**
and a copy of *Tale of Genji*,
written down by Murasaki Shikibu herself!
**[07:20] ---**
Stories of love make the heart grow big.
**[07:23] ---**
Would they help you with this "play"?
**[07:25] ---**
They would!
**[07:27] ---**
Like, totally!
**[07:28] ---**
I thought so.
**[07:30] ---**
Yay!
**[07:32] ---**
What is this?
**[07:33] ---**
Oh, hello, Mr. Doggy.
**[07:35] ---**
That's...
**[07:37] ---**
*A Tale of Lilies*?
**[07:38] ---**
I wrote my own story.
**[07:42] ---**
Wow!
**[07:44] ---**
You wrote that yourself, Yoshimoto-san?
**[07:47] ---**
When I'm having fun with
Nobunaga-san and the rest,
**[07:50] ---**
all kinds of ideas just come to me!
**[07:53] ---**
This is one of those?!
**[07:56] ---**
Naturally, you're in it, too.
**[08:00] ---**
Hideyoshi...
**[08:03] ---**
My lord...
**[08:04] ---**
Hideyoshi, I love you.
**[08:07] ---**
No, I'm not ready yet...
**[08:08] ---**
Hideyoshi!
**[08:09] ---**
Hideyoshi!
**[08:10] ---**
No way!
**[08:12] ---**
I couldn't do this!
**[08:13] ---**
You couldn't?
**[08:15] ---**
I think it would be perfect.
**[08:17] ---**
I couldn't! Ever!
**[08:21] ---**
Akerin, save me!
**[08:23] ---**
At this rate, I'm going to...
**[08:24] ---**
I think it's fine.
**[08:26] ---**
G-Girls should spend some time
naked together, once in a while.
**[08:30] ---**
That's right.
**[08:32] ---**
OK, fine. I'll use it,
**[08:35] ---**
but I'm changing parts, OK?
**[08:41] ---**
I see...
**[08:42] ---**
I was wondering what that old bag was doing,
**[08:45] ---**
all the way out at Azuchi Castle.
**[08:47] ---**
So that's it.
**[08:51] ---**
Now, then... What to do
with this "play" of theirs?
**[08:56] ---**
I have an idea.
**[08:59] ---**
You've never had a successful plan in your life!
**[09:02] ---**
Forgive me!
**[09:05] ---**
Now, what to do...
**[09:17] ---**
OK, once that's done, it's ready!
**[09:20] ---**
It would go faster if you had the people help.
**[09:24] ---**
I can't do that!
**[09:25] ---**
They're the audience!
**[09:27] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[09:29] ---**
Hideyoshi, are you done?
**[09:32] ---**
Yes, my lord!
**[09:35] ---**
So, you stand here, my lord.
**[09:37] ---**
Right.
**[09:38] ---**
And then say your line
**[09:39] ---**
"Mitsuhide, you're in love with me, right?"
**[09:42] ---**
You're in love with me, Mitsuhide?
**[09:44] ---**
Um, well... No... It's a line in the play!
**[09:48] ---**
Line?
**[09:49] ---**
Like the Noh performances you enjoy.
**[09:51] ---**
A made-up story.
**[09:52] ---**
I see.
**[09:53] ---**
A made-up story.
**[09:54] ---**
I'm sorry, Mitsuhide.
**[09:56] ---**
I misunderstood.
**[09:57] ---**
Forgive me.
**[09:57] ---**
No, my lord... You're too kind.
**[10:01] ---**
Anyway, let's continue!
**[10:03] ---**
Yeah!
**[10:12] ---**
It's a play! It's a play!
**[10:13] ---**
Don't take it seriously!
**[10:16] ---**
You are too beautiful.
**[10:19] ---**
Your face, your form, your legs—
**[10:21] ---**
I'm sorry I'm so beautiful!
**[10:24] ---**
Hey, aren't these clothes a little too plain?
**[10:28] ---**
Redo it! One more time...
**[10:29] ---**
Come on...
**[10:32] ---**
Is this really going to work...
**[10:38] ---**
Shiro?
**[10:39] ---**
Shut up!
**[10:40] ---**
It's just getting to the good part!
**[10:41] ---**
Get going!
**[10:43] ---**
Jeez.
**[10:44] ---**
In the next scene, my lord receives
everyone's love at once.
**[10:50] ---**
It's the play's most important scene!
**[10:52] ---**
Everyone, let's not get embarrassed!
**[10:58] ---**
Now then, my lord... Excuse me...
**[11:02] ---**
Yes, come closer.
**[11:03] ---**
Right.
**[11:05] ---**
Hurry.
**[11:12] ---**
Then let's begin, Mitsuhide!
**[11:15] ---**
Yes!
**[11:16] ---**
OK, begin...
**[11:20] ---**
My lord... You're finally going to be
my big sister, aren't you?
**[11:26] ---**
Good girl...
**[11:28] ---**
You need to pay some attention to me, too!
**[11:32] ---**
You're a good girl, as well...
**[11:34] ---**
My lord!
**[11:35] ---**
Us, too!
**[11:38] ---**
Good girls!
**[11:39] ---**
But I don't think I'm going
to make it through this...
**[11:44] ---**
M-Me, too!
**[11:50] ---**
No, Shiro!
**[11:58] ---**
We should totally try that again!
**[12:21] ---**
I almost suffocated in Shingen's butt.
**[12:25] ---**
You jumped by yourself.
**[12:27] ---**
Shingen-san?
**[12:29] ---**
Hey, Hideyoshi.
**[12:31] ---**
What are you doing out here, Shingen-san?
**[12:35] ---**
Good work today.
**[12:37] ---**
You must be tired.
**[12:39] ---**
Here.
**[12:40] ---**
It's a famous food from my land.
**[12:42] ---**
You eat it with honey.
**[12:44] ---**
Oh, I know this!
**[12:46] ---**
Thank you, Shingen-san!
**[12:47] ---**
Not at all!
**[12:49] ---**
Well, you know...
**[12:51] ---**
And not really in exchange, but...
**[12:54] ---**
I was thinking I'd kind of like a bigger part.
**[12:59] ---**
Well, you know, in the play...
**[13:01] ---**
Especially a bigger part than Kenshin's.
**[13:04] ---**
Anyway, thanks.
**[13:07] ---**
Goodbye!
**[13:07] ---**
Shingen-san!
**[13:09] ---**
Hey, Hideyoshi!
**[13:11] ---**
Kenshin-san.
**[13:12] ---**
Good timing.
**[13:13] ---**
I saw a beautiful flower.
**[13:16] ---**
I thought it would suit you.
**[13:21] ---**
Um...
**[13:22] ---**
I can't stop thinking about your body.
**[13:28] ---**
*Now she's trying to seduce her?!*
**[13:31] ---**
You poor thing, just look at your skin...
**[13:34] ---**
You've barely slept at all lately, have you?
**[13:38] ---**
*What? Kenshin-san is... I can't...*
**[13:43] ---**
I know!
**[13:44] ---**
I've got an idea.
**[13:47] ---**
Let's think about the play together.
**[13:50] ---**
It's simple.
**[13:52] ---**
Just give me a little bigger part,
**[13:53] ---**
and I'll demonstrate some sword moves.
**[13:56] ---**
Then...
**[13:57] ---**
F-Fine! I'll do it!
**[13:59] ---**
So goodbye!
**[14:02] ---**
Hideyoshi, we're not done yet!
**[14:07] ---**
That surprised me!
**[14:09] ---**
I thought she was gonna kiss me!
**[14:10] ---**
What's wrong with that? It wouldn't hurt you.
**[14:13] ---**
What, have you never kissed anyone?
**[14:17] ---**
Shut up... Shut up, shut up!
**[14:19] ---**
Sorry, but I never shut up!
**[14:23] ---**
Yoshimoto-san? What's that outfit?
**[14:26] ---**
I thought the clothes I had
for the play were a bit plain.
**[14:29] ---**
What do you think of this?
**[14:32] ---**
You're going to wear that for the play?
**[14:34] ---**
It's still kind of plain...
**[14:37] ---**
Then I'll try this.
**[14:40] ---**
Or this!
**[14:42] ---**
Or more bold!
**[14:43] ---**
More showy!
**[14:47] ---**
Those got really weird halfway through!
**[14:58] ---**
What to do...
**[15:00] ---**
If the play fails, Hideyoshi's reputation
would be ruined.
**[15:02] ---**
It would be wonderful.
**[15:03] ---**
But if the play succeeds, I can sleep
with my lord, even if it is in front of everyone!
**[15:07] ---**
I can't pass that up!
**[15:08] ---**
But if I do that, the play will be a success...
**[15:10] ---**
But I can't give up on sleeping with her.
**[15:13] ---**
But that means the play's success.
**[15:14] ---**
But if my lord embraces me...
**[15:18] ---**
Everyone's really getting into
this whole play thing.
**[15:21] ---**
And to think, no one had ever heard
of a play before you told them about it.
**[15:25] ---**
Why does it have to be like this?
**[15:27] ---**
We should all just have fun.
**[15:29] ---**
What do you think you're doing,
pretending to be a good girl?
**[15:32] ---**
I am a good girl!
**[15:34] ---**
Hey, it's Tokunyan!
**[15:36] ---**
Tokunyan should feel the same way I do.
**[15:41] ---**
Hey!
**[15:42] ---**
Tokunyan!
**[15:43] ---**
Hideyoshi-san.
**[15:44] ---**
I hope your play goes well.
**[15:47] ---**
Right, right?
**[15:48] ---**
Let's all put on a good play and have fun!
**[15:51] ---**
About that... I had an idea.
**[15:54] ---**
How it could be even more fun.
**[15:56] ---**
You, too?
**[15:58] ---**
Nobunaga-san goes crazy!
**[16:02] ---**
She slices up everyone, and then I beat her!
**[16:10] ---**
Don't worry.
**[16:11] ---**
We'll keep it a secret during practice.
**[16:15] ---**
I'll do my best for the real thing.
**[16:17] ---**
Goodbye.
**[16:21] ---**
Is Tokunyan actually mean and
just keeps it hidden?
**[16:25] ---**
Yeah, I think that's her type.
**[16:28] ---**
What should we do during the real play?
**[16:51] ---**
My normal clothes are the most beautiful.
**[16:56] ---**
Like this, I'll stand out more than Kenshin.
**[16:58] ---**
Well done, Hideyoshi.
**[16:59] ---**
Good work.
**[17:05] ---**
My lord, my lord, my lord.
**[17:06] ---**
Good girl.
**[17:08] ---**
Good girl?
**[17:13] ---**
I hope everyone's OK...
**[17:18] ---**
That's the signal for it to start!
**[17:24] ---**
I guess I'll just have to see what happens.
**[17:31] ---**
Mitsuhide, you've fallen in love
with me, haven't you?
**[17:35] ---**
Akerin, it's your turn!
**[17:37] ---**
Right.
**[17:38] ---**
Mitsuhide!
**[17:39] ---**
Where are you, Mitsuhide?!
**[17:41] ---**
I'm right here!
**[17:44] ---**
Oh, no!
**[17:47] ---**
Are you OK, Akerin!
**[17:48] ---**
You're a good girl, too, Hideyoshi.
**[17:53] ---**
What's wrong?
**[17:54] ---**
Did we change the script?
**[17:56] ---**
OK... You're a good girl, Hideyoshi!
**[17:59] ---**
Don't be embarrassed, Hideyoshi.
**[18:06] ---**
I love you, Kenshin!
**[18:07] ---**
Me, too, Shingen!
**[18:12] ---**
*I'm a bigger star than Kenshin.*
**[18:14] ---**
*They're screaming louder
for me than for Shingen.*
**[18:18] ---**
You are too beautiful.
**[18:22] ---**
Your face, your form, your legs...
**[18:25] ---**
I'm sorry I'm so beautiful!
**[18:28] ---**
I shall see my lord's plan succeed!
**[18:35] ---**
It's time for the last scene.
**[18:37] ---**
Let's all do our best!
**[18:41] ---**
*This time!*
**[18:42] ---**
*This time, I'll do it!*
**[18:45] ---**
*It's almost time.*
**[18:47] ---**
*She isn't really going to do it, is she?*
**[18:51] ---**
Lord, as you ordered, I changed Nobunaga's script!
**[18:57] ---**
But that's too easy.
**[19:00] ---**
There must be some way I can help...
**[19:03] ---**
Oh, look! A piece of flint!
**[19:07] ---**
OK, I'm ready whenever.
**[19:09] ---**
Raise the curtain.
**[19:11] ---**
I'll help you, my lord!
**[19:20] ---**
I may have overdone it.
**[19:24] ---**
Hanzou...
**[19:34] ---**
Everyone!
**[19:35] ---**
Nobunaga-dono!
**[19:36] ---**
Over here, everyone!
**[19:40] ---**
My lord!
**[19:41] ---**
No!
**[19:43] ---**
Save me!
**[19:44] ---**
Someone, save me!
**[19:46] ---**
Hideyoshi!
**[19:47] ---**
Hideyoshi-chan!
**[19:48] ---**
My lord hasn't shown up, either!
**[19:55] ---**
Hideyoshi!
**[20:07] ---**
My lord!
**[20:13] ---**
Darn you!
**[20:17] ---**
My lord!
**[20:22] ---**
My lord!
**[20:28] ---**
I won't let anyone die on my land!
**[20:55] ---**
This is it.
**[20:56] ---**
I made what you told me to.
**[21:00] ---**
It totally worked!
**[21:04] ---**
I won't let anyone die on my land!
**[21:06] ---**
So cool...
**[21:08] ---**
My turn next!
**[21:14] ---**
And to think, the play was ruined.
**[21:16] ---**
It wasn't ruined. It was a huge success, my lord.
**[21:20] ---**
The people were all so happy.
**[21:23] ---**
That's right.
**[21:25] ---**
So, Masamune, what did you have to tell me?
**[21:27] ---**
Actually, I've located the remaining pieces
of the Crimson Armor.
**[21:31] ---**
What?
**[21:32] ---**
The remaining three are in Saigoku.
**[21:35] ---**
I've sent a letter.
**[21:38] ---**
Once you have them, all the armor will be yours!
**[21:42] ---**
I see.
**[21:43] ---**
It's finally time to unify the land.

1,2,3...
**[23:26] ---**
Battle Maidens, blooming bright,
**[23:31] ---**
fly through the sky brilliantly.
**[23:33] ---**
Blot the full moon out with crimson!
**[23:37] ---**
Battle Maidens, petals falling,
**[23:40] ---**
fly up into the sky beautifully.
**[23:44] ---**
A blue flame tearing apart
the floating world's illusions,
**[23:50] ---**
a shimmering haze.
**[23:52] ---**
Watch next time, OK?
