Tadanobu Sato
Hey, Brother! Only 6 days until the epic war between the Genji and Heike begins!
Tsugunobu Sato
I know! I can hardly contain myself I'm so excited! We'll have to do our best for Lord Shanao!
Tsugunobu Sato
Ah yes, only 6 days until Shanao and I... I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
Tadanobu Sato
T-Tomomori Taira! What are you doing here?!
Tsugunobu Sato
What? It's only natural to get a good look at the enemy before the battle starts, right?
Tsugunobu Sato
But alas, I suppose I'll have to wait a few more days. Give Shanao my regards.
Tsugunobu Sato
He's gone! Such speed...
Tadanobu Sato
He disappeared in an instant! But don't worry, we won't let him escape next time!
Takatsuna Sasaki
It was reported that Tsugunobu and his brother met Tomomori yesterday! It seems that he was interested in seeing Lord Shanao. Just what could he be planning?
Benkei Musashibo
Hm... Well it's only five days until we meet in battle right? We've got to make sure we're ready for them!
Takatsuna Sasaki
Of course! With everyone here there's no way we'll lose to those dirty Heike!
Takatsuna Sasaki
Come to think of it, this will be Lord Shanao's first battle. He must be nervous. Isn't that right, Lord Yoritomo?
Yoritomo Minamoto
That doesn't seem to be the case. Last I heard he was strutting proudly around town.
Benkei Musashibo
Wow! My lord would be so happy to hear you speak about him like that, Lord Yoritomo!
Takatsuna Sasaki
What a good brother! I'm so jealous...
Benkei Musashibo
Me too...
Yoritomo Minamoto
What's with you two?
Tadanobu Sato
Grgh! What's the point of all these patrols if Tomomori doesn't even bother to show up? Wait, what's that..
Shigehira Taira
Hey Noritsune, did you hear? Seems these Genji punks are waiting with bated breath to take us down.
Noritsune Taira
Tomomori said the battle will start in four days. I'm going to go all out!
Noritsune Taira
Just wait Shanao, I'm going to be the one to take you down! There'll be no escaping this time!
Shigehira Taira
Well, well, aren't you excited? To be fair, it has been a while since I've had the chance to spill some blood. I'm looking forward to it too.
Noritsune Taira
In that case how about a preliminary training match? A duel between you and I is sure to be exciting.
Shigehira Taira
Oh? Why yes, that sounds excellent. Just don't go home crying after I spank you.
Noritsune Taira
Hmph. You're one to talk.
Tadanobu Sato
Noritsune and Shigehira? Those guys are bad news. I better head back and report this to the others!
Shungen
Our fight with the Heike is only three days away. We'll have to make sure we're well positioned to... Takatsuna, Tsugunobu, what are you two doing?
Takatsuna Sasaki
Preparing for battle with the Heike! Tadanobu told us that Noritsune and Shigehira are planning to go all out!
Tsugunobu Sato
We're also training some of the horses at the behest of Lord Shanao.
Tsugunobu Sato
It seems that Lord Shanao is busy prepping himself for battle too!
Shungen
I-I see that's why there are so many weapons and horse reins scattered around here.
Takatsuna Sasaki
Haha, that's right! I have to say though, when I see how excited Lord Shanao is for battle, it makes me feel even more confident!
Shungen
That's right, he's made up his mind to fight with everything he's got, and I want to do everything I can to support him!
Takatsuna Sasaki
Wow! That means a lot coming from someone like you who has been friends with Lord Shanao since childhood!
Tsugunobu Sato
That's true, but we all have to do our best from now on! Next time let's do some training with Tadanobu and Benkei too!
Takatsuna Sasaki
Good idea!
Shigehira Taira
You've been in such a good mood lately, Brother. You looking forward to the day after tomorrow? I must admit I'm kind of jealous.
Tomomori Taira
Will you be lonely here without me?
Shigehira Taira
Of course, we always have a good time together. But it's alright, I'll have Noritsune to keep me company.
Noritsune Taira
Quit messing around. More than that, we've got to stay focused on the Genji's movements. They've steadily been making progress on their war preparations.
Shigehira Taira
Ugh, you're so boring Noritsune, always focused on work. Quit worrying, we're way stronger than them.
Shigehira Taira
I could crush them with my eyes closed. Even Shanao is no match for my brother and I!
Tomomori Taira
Ah yes, I sure am interested in that Shanao... Don't worry I'll let the two of you play with him as well.
Shigehira Taira
Sounds good to me! I wouldn't mind hunting him down and watching him squeal like a little piggy!
Noritsune Taira
You guys sure give me the creeps sometimes...
Shungen
Tomorrow's the big day Benkei!
Benkei Musashibo
That's right, our first battle fighting alongside Lord Shanao! We'll win for sure!
Yoritomo Minamoto
I admire your enthusiasm, but what have you two been up to all day?
Yoritomo Minamoto
Your clothes are positively filthy.
Shungen
Actually we've all been training for tomorrow's battle, that's why our clothes look so dirty.
Benkei Musashibo
Lord Shanao is so strong, I wanted to show him what I can do! Though perhaps I went a bit overboard...
Yoritomo Minamoto
Well, that's good. As long as you'll be able to fight tomorrow, it's not a problem.
Benkei Musashibo
Yes, sir! I plan to show you what I can do in battle! Just you watch!
Shungen
He's been like this all day... You're going to pass out of you keep that enthusiasm up all day Benkei!
Yoritomo Minamoto
Finally the day has come. I hope you're all prepared.
Benkei Musashibo
Finally the day has come. I hope you're all prepared.
Shungen
Yes, sir!
Benkei Musashibo
It's time to show them everything we've got! This is what we've been training for!
Shungen
I'm prepared for whatever comes next!
Yoritomo Minamoto
Good. This battle is sure to be intense, but together with Lord Shanao, we'll find a way to win.
Shungen
Yes, sir!
Benkei Musashibo
That's right!
Noritsune Taira
Finally the battle's about to begin... The Genji are sure to be ready and waiting for us!
Noritsune Taira
Shanao, show me what you can do. Show me just how strong you really are!
Tomomori Taira
Hehe. I'm getting excited just watching you.
Noritsune Taira
Hmph. You're one to talk, you've been talking about this moment for the last week straight.
Tomomori Taira
You're right, it's so unlike me! I just hope this can live up to my unreasonably high expectations...
Yoritomo Minamoto
