Ushiwakamaru
Love is Not Free
Ushiwakamaru:
Yawn... Good morning Master!
What's wrong?
Fujimaru 1:
Where are we?
Ushiwakamaru:
Now that you mention it... That is strange.
Did the Rayshift fail?
Ushiwakamaru:
Where are Mash and Fou?
Mash:
Over here.
Fou:
Fou!
Ushiwakamaru:
Mash, Fou!
I'm glad you're safe!
Ushiwakamaru:
Are you hurt?
If something happened to you, Master would be sad.
Fou:
Nnn, kyu.
Mash:
I'm fine.
Mash:
...It seems there was an accident during Rayshift.
Please wait while I ask the Doctor to bring us back.
Dr. Roman:
Sorry everybody. I don't know what happened, but I have your signals here.
Dr. Roman:
There's no data on where you jumped, but it's spatially stable.
Dr. Roman:
Give me a minute.
Once the repairs are done, I'll bring you back.
Ushiwakamaru:
Understood! Master, I'll go look and make sure there's no danger!
Mash:
Actually, we should stick together.
Is that all right with you, Master?
Fujimaru 1:
No problem.
Fujimaru 2:
Let's do that.
Ushiwakamaru:
Okay!
Mash:
Master, Ushiwakamaru, watch yourselves.
Ushiwakamaru:
I-I'm fine... Hyaaah!
Ushiwakamaru:
I-I'm sorry. Thank you! I was raised by the Kurama Tengu and I still slipped...
Ushiwakamaru:
Still, this forest–
It seems different than the one in my country.
Mash:
That's right. From the look of that coast...
Are we on a deserted island?
Ushiwakamaru:
You're probably right, Mash.
There's likely no land bridge.
Ushiwakamaru:
If we're trapped here, should we chop some wood and make a raft?
Mash:
If we can Rayshift back, we probably won't need a raft.
Ushiwakamaru:
Too bad.
I'm quite good at chopping wood–
Mash:
What's wrong?
Ushiwakamaru:
–Be quiet.
I sense an evil presence.
Mash:
...Me too.
Fou, be quiet.
Fou:
Kyu.
Ushiwakamaru:
...
S-Sorry.
Ushiwakamaru:
Fou's so cute, I feel like my heart skipped a beat.
Ushiwakamaru:
The presence–is starting to approach.
Master, shall we launch a surprise attack?
Fujimaru 1:
Let's do that.
Fujimaru 2:
Got it.
Ushiwakamaru:
Right, I'll go around the side.
Mash, you intercept them.
Mash:
Wow... Her "Presence Concealment" is Assassin level.
Let's do this, Master stand back.
Mash:
...Here they come!
Ushiwakamaru:
I trapped them!
Let's go!
--BATTLE--:
Ushiwakamaru:
Whew! That was good exercise!
By the way, can we eat them?
Mash:
Probably not a good idea to eat the Lamia...
Ushiwakamaru:
A shame. If you carefully drain them of blood, snakes can be quite delicious.
Ushiwakamaru:
I used to eat them all the time during war.
Mash:
I-I see...
Ushiwakamaru:
This island is pretty small, huh?
Doesn't look like there's much to see.
Ushiwakamaru:
...A bit of a shame, really.
Dr. Roman:
Oh, hello? It's the Doctor. It's going to take me a little longer to adjust the Rayshift.
Dr. Roman:
It's just refusing to stabilize...
Mash:
Understood. ...I'm sorry.
Looks like it will take a bit more time.
Ushiwakamaru:
Anyway Master, I want to hear a story about you.
Fujimaru 1:
About me?
Fujimaru 2:
Why?
Ushiwakamaru:
Is it strange to want to know about one's Master?
Fujimaru 1:
I'm boring.
Fujimaru 2:
I'm not interesting...
Ushiwakamaru:
No, I want to learn about you, Master.
Ushiwakamaru:
I might not be the best listener, but I'll try my hardest. So please, go ahead!
Ushiwakamaru:
...I see, I see.
Thank you, Master!
Ushiwakamaru:
...Looks like the Rayshift's not ready yet.
It's so quiet.
Ushiwakamaru:
...
Ushiwakamaru:
Master, um...
I have a question–
Ushiwakamaru:
Am I useful to you?
Fujimaru 1:
Of course.
Fujimaru 2:
Obviously.
Ushiwakamaru:
I see. Glad to hear it. I...I'm used to people telling me they don't understand me.
Ushiwakamaru:
When I tell them I want to fight for someone else's sake, they all seem confused.
Ushiwakamaru:
Is my reason that strange?
Ushiwakamaru:
I fought for my brother's sake, but he never believed me, even until the end.
Ushiwakamaru:
It's true that there were misunderstandings, but I never thought of hurting him even once–
Ushiwakamaru:
I'm not angry. It's just strange to me.
Why can't people understand how I feel?
Ushiwakamaru:
I'm sorry. This isn't something I should be talking about with you.
Fujimaru 1:
Don't worry about it.
Fujimaru 2:
I want to hear more.
Ushiwakamaru:
...You're a lot like Ise Yoshimori, you know?
Ushiwakamaru:
Oh, I don't mean that you look like him.
He had a face like a wicked fox.
Ushiwakamaru:
But he was easy to talk to.
About serious things, or just joking around.
Ushiwakamaru:
You have many Servants. But you take time to talk to them one-on-one–
Ushiwakamaru:
It's a little embarrassing, but I'm very grateful.
Mash:
Is it ready? Doctor?
I think it's time for us to go back–
Dr. Roman:
Oh, sorry.
I have bad news.
Mash:
...Go ahead with the bad news, Dr. Roman.
Dr. Roman:
Just so we're clear, this isn't my fault, okay?
Dr. Roman:
Until you can stabilize that area, even if you try to return, you'll just end up somewhere else.
Dr. Roman:
The cause of the instability circles around the island. Any ideas?
Mash:
Around the island?
Could it be–that ship?
Dr. Roman:
I thought it might be a ship... Yeah.
I'm picking up magical energy coming from it.
Dr. Roman:
Can you go there and remove the source of the instability?
Ushiwakamaru:
I think so.
Let's jump aboard when it gets close.
Mash:
A-At this distance?
Ushiwakamaru:
Mash, I once jumped across eight ships.
This is nothing.
Ushiwakamaru:
...I think it's about time. Mash, once I'm aboard I'll bring the ship close.
Mash:
Understood.
Ushiwakamaru:
Just watch me. Master, take this–
"Dan-No-Ura Eight-Boat Leap!"–Here I go!
Mash:
S-She jumped!
She jumped over eight boats in length!
Ushiwakamaru:
I did it! Okay guys, sorry!
But I'm taking this boat to shore!
Ushiwakamaru:
I promise I won't kill you–
Ushiwakamaru:
I won't kill you–
Oh, no! They're already dead!
Mash:
U-Um, Ushiwakamaru seems to be having a hard time!
Fujimaru 1:
Let's wait and believe.
Fujimaru 2:
She'll be fine.
Ushiwakamaru:
I'm getting this boat to shore–
Tch, get out of my way!
Ushiwakamaru:
Okay, got it! Mash!
I'm turning the boat around!
Mash:
It's getting closer.
At this range I can do it too–!
Mash:
Ushiwakamaru!
Ushiwakamaru:
Oh, Mash!
Sorry, it took me a while!
Mash:
I see. It was a ghost ship!
Ushiwakamaru:
U-Um, Mash?
Mash:
Yes?
Ushiwakamaru:
Was Master disappointed?
It did take me a while...
Mash:
...Don't worry.
Master believed in you.
Ushiwakamaru:
I see!
Okay, then nothing can stop me!
Ushiwakamaru:
Come, you ghastly creatures!
My name is Minamoto–No, Ushiwakamaru!
Ushiwakamaru:
As a Servant of Fujimaru,
I shall defeat you!
--BATTLE--:
Ushiwakamaru:
Yup, that's most of them.
Master! Master!
Fujimaru 1:
(Wave to her.)
Fujimaru 2:
Good job!
Ushiwakamaru:
Mash!
Master praised me!
Mash:
I'm so happy for you, Ushiwakamaru!
Ushiwakamaru:
Right!
Dr. Roman:
Hey guys, the readings from that ghost ship isn't totally gone.
Dr. Roman:
If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to come home.
Ushiwakamaru:
Huh? Really?
But–
Mash:
I don't see anything else...
Ushiwakamaru:
A mist? Rising from the bodies?
Mash:
I see, the vengeful spirit driving the ship was the source of the instability!
Ushiwakamaru:
–Okay Mash, this time let's finish it.
Ushiwakamaru:
Evil is destined to fall.
Especially, wicked demons...
Ushiwakamaru:
Your grudge shall be slain by me
–Ushiwakamaru!
--BATTLE--:
Ushiwakamaru:
I defeated them!
Dr. Roman:
Okay, you all can come home now.
Let me know when you're ready.
Mash:
Understood.
Let's meet with Master first.
Ushiwakamaru:
Master, I have slain the vengeful spirits!
Ushiwakamaru:
It's a shame you couldn't see me since we were fighting on the decks...
Ushiwakamaru:
But next time, I promise to fight somewhere you can see!
Ushiwakamaru:
And um...well.
If you wouldn't mind...
Ushiwakamaru:
Oh, no...
Never mind, I guess...
Fujimaru 1:
What is it?
Ushiwakamaru:
D-Do you think you could maybe pat me on the head?
I'd really like that.
Fujimaru 1:
Sure.
Ushiwakamaru:
Thank you!
