▶ Shisui : I never intended for you to meet my mother.	(0:01:31.91)
▶ Shisui : I had to pretend you were the new apothecary to get out of that situation.	(0:01:35.97)
▶ Shisui : Father says Mother wasn't like this in the past,	(0:01:39.93)
▶ Shisui : but who knows?	(0:01:45.37)
▶ Shisui : She's been the way she is from the day I was born.	(0:01:47.47)
▶ Shisui : Bullying my sister, bullying the young ladies-in-waiting,	(0:01:51.38)
▶ Shisui : corrupting other women related to her...	(0:01:55.14)
▶ Shisui : Father never said anything. He can't.	(0:01:58.26)
▶ Shisui : He can't push back.	(0:02:01.97)
▶ Shisui : He just waits, forever, for her to forgive him.	(0:02:03.57)
▶ Shisui : Devouring her husband after giving birth to a child...	(0:02:08.41)
▶ Shisui : She's like an insect.	(0:02:11.65)
▶ Shisui : No, insects are far better.	(0:02:13.34)
▶ Shisui : They only do that to allow their children to live.	(0:02:16.86)
▶ Shisui : I don't want to be like my mother.	(0:02:21.08)
▶ Maomao : Shisui refused to become a mother, enough to willingly take abortion medicine.	(0:02:24.81)
▶ Maomao : Shisui only has one mother. But she doesn't want to be like Shenmei.	(0:02:30.53)
▶ Maomao : That's her prime motivation...	(0:02:36.60)
▶ Shisui : I did some research into you, Maomao.	(0:02:38.98)
▶ Shisui : Your father's a high-ranking official, and you were raised by a former doctor.	(0:02:42.85)
▶ Shisui : You're similar to my sister.	(0:02:46.69)
▶ Maomao : I have no father or mother. Just a dad.	(0:02:48.92)
▶ Shisui : Yes, that's similar to what my sister said.	(0:02:53.81)
▶ Shisui : Yes, you're right.	(0:02:57.05)
▶ Shisui : My sister probably isn't really my sister, either.	(0:02:59.69)
▶ Shisui : My father is a scheming tanuki, after all.	(0:03:04.36)
▶ Shisui : He must have been plotting something by having my sister,	(0:03:06.68)
▶ Shisui : who has imperial blood in her, under his control.	(0:03:09.88)
▶ Shisui : Therefore, my sister has nothing to do with the Shi clan.	(0:03:12.70)
▶ Maomao : Lies.	(0:03:18.21)
▶ Maomao : When she makes this face, they look really similar.	(0:03:20.49)
▶ Maomao : Shisui really loves her sister, Suirei.	(0:03:23.57)
▶ Maomao : That's why, even after all that's happened,	(0:03:27.45)
▶ Maomao : she claims they're unrelated, to protect her.	(0:03:29.49)
▶ Maomao : But that logic won't work at all.	(0:03:32.11)
▶ Maomao : Suirei is far too involved in all of the incidents that have happened so far.	(0:03:34.95)
▶ Shisui : Hey, Maomao...	(0:03:44.53)
▶ Shisui : If these kids were insects,	(0:03:47.81)
▶ Shisui : they'd have survived the winter, don't you think?	(0:03:50.54)
▶ Maomao : If they were insects...?	(0:03:52.46)
▶ Shisui : Insects never survive the winter. They only leave behind their children.	(0:03:55.15)
▶ Maomao : I see it now.	(0:04:00.91)
▶ Maomao : That's why she brought me here.	(0:04:02.86)
▶ Maomao : Shisui's not...	(0:04:06.31)
▶ Maomao : Shisui won't be coming back anymore.	(0:04:08.46)
▶ Maomao : Shisui...	(0:04:14.98)
▶ Maomao : You should just run.	(0:04:19.41)
▶ Maomao : Just throw it all away, and escape with Suirei.	(0:04:22.19)
▶ Maomao : Politics, your parents, the clan, just throw it all away.	(0:04:27.28)
▶ Maomao : I don't care about other people, either. I'm the most important person to me.	(0:04:34.18)
▶ Maomao : Do you realize how much I went through after being dragged here?	(0:04:39.63)
▶ Maomao : But, still...	(0:04:44.80)
▶ Maomao : Why can't I stop myself from reaching out to her?	(0:04:52.98)
▶ Shisui : Don't stop me!	(0:05:00.34)
▶ Shisui : I have my own duties.	(0:05:03.17)
▶ Maomao : What difference will it make?	(0:05:07.41)
▶ Shisui : I have my own pride.	(0:05:09.42)
▶ Maomao : Just throw that away.	(0:05:11.81)
▶ Shisui : Hey, Maomao...	(0:05:18.91)
▶ Shisui : If there was an unknown poison in front of you,	(0:05:20.79)
▶ Shisui : and you were told you had just one chance to drink it,	(0:05:24.49)
▶ Shisui : what would you do?	(0:05:27.14)
▶ Maomao : Swallow it in one gulp.	(0:05:28.14)
▶ Shisui : Right?	(0:05:30.48)
▶ Maomao : She's going...	(0:05:35.24)
▶ Maomao : But...	(0:05:37.03)
▶ Maomao : I don't know what to tell her!	(0:05:38.66)
▶ Maomao : Shisui!	(0:05:45.74)
▶ Maomao : At least let me wish you good luck.	(0:05:47.70)
▶ Shisui : Good luck?	(0:05:52.99)
▶ Shisui : That's not like you.	(0:05:55.72)
▶ Maomao : Yes, it's rare. Really...	(0:05:57.81)
▶ Maomao : Give this back to me some day. It was a gift.	(0:06:02.13)
▶ Shisui : That's unreasonable. I might sell it off.	(0:06:05.23)
▶ Maomao : If you do, that's fine.	(0:06:08.34)
▶ Shisui : In my collar? Not my hair?	(0:06:15.66)
▶ Maomao : You'll be too flamboyant if you put any more in your hair.	(0:06:17.88)
▶ Maomao : You have soot on your face and hair.	(0:06:23.32)
▶ Shisui : You're right, I look like a tanuki.	(0:06:27.93)
▶ Shisui : Thank you, Maomao.	(0:06:31.61)
▶ Shisui : Please take care of the rest.	(0:06:42.99)
▶ Maomao : ＂Take care of the rest.＂ Right.	(0:06:53.32)
▶ Lakan : Time is of the essence!	(0:07:09.64)
▶ Lakan : If you were just a little later, I would have dragged you out physically!	(0:07:12.08)
▶ Jinshi : Lahan.	(0:07:26.67)
▶ Jinshi : Did you realize that Jinshi and I were the same person?	(0:07:29.69)
▶ Lakan : Now, explain to us the plan to take that stronghold.	(0:07:48.62)
▶ Lakan : Sulfur and saltpeter... They can make gunpowder from that.	(0:08:15.26)
▶ Lakan : We can expect Shishou to have gunpowder weapons ready for war.	(0:08:20.15)
▶ Jinshi : Feifas?	(0:08:25.08)
▶ Lakan : Those aren't well-suited for defensive fighting.	(0:08:25.95)
▶ Lakan : To take out a group of enemies from atop a wall...	(0:08:28.88)
▶ Jinshi : Cannons.	(0:08:33.41)
▶ Lakan : We can expect some heavy casualties trying to approach the stronghold.	(0:08:37.64)
▶ Jinshi : That's troubling.	(0:08:42.23)
▶ Lakan : Or so our math-head thinks.	(0:08:49.13)
▶ Jinshi : What do you propose?	(0:08:51.74)
▶ Lakan : First, we take out their gunpowder reserves, to prevent them from using their cannons.	(0:08:53.30)
▶ Lakan : It is a somewhat eccentric method, but...	(0:08:58.22)
▶ Jinshi : I see.	(0:09:02.93)
▶ Gaoshun : But...	(0:09:06.84)
▶ Gaoshun : There is one problem.	(0:09:08.27)
▶ Lakan : What issue is there?	(0:09:09.78)
▶ Gaoshun : The royal guard, launching a surprise attack?	(0:09:12.26)
▶ Jinshi : The royal guard.	(0:09:15.90)
▶ Jinshi : The emperor's finest soldiers.	(0:09:17.49)
▶ Jinshi : We must fight with dignity, as befits that status.	(0:09:19.61)
▶ Jinshi : I agree with the Grand Commandant.	(0:09:27.89)
▶ Jinshi : I want to minimize the damage.	(0:09:30.18)
▶ Gaoshun : Understood.	(0:09:32.76)
▶ Lakan : Right. Lahan.	(0:09:34.37)
▶ Gaoshun : You will need to approach that girl differently from now on.	(0:09:38.51)
▶ Jinshi : I know.	(0:09:43.89)
▶ Lakan : Get the fire lancers in position.	(0:09:55.87)
▶ Lakan : Just wait, Maomao. Papa's coming to save you!	(0:10:00.82)
▶ Loulan : I won't take that from you, Mother.	(0:12:43.07)
▶ Loulan : Nor from any of you, who have descended into decadence,	(0:12:45.93)
▶ Loulan : leaving your children behind.	(0:12:49.46)
▶ Shisui : I'm sorry, Dear Sister. I'm late.	(0:13:09.39)
▶ Loulan : Father.	(0:13:34.51)
▶ Loulan : As a final act, take responsibility for once in your life.	(0:13:37.38)
▶ Loulan : You're the tanuki master of a village of foxes.	(0:13:44.25)
▶ Loulan : Let's pull off one last trick.	(0:13:48.28)
▶ Loulan : No gunpowder, either. I burned it all.	(0:14:24.09)
▶ Loulan : You knew we had no chance to win.	(0:14:28.93)
▶ Loulan : Father.	(0:14:31.81)
▶ Loulan : I will see Mother off.	(0:14:33.27)
▶ Jinshi : The enemy is in disarray! Strike them now!	(0:15:17.22)
▶ Jinshi : Don't kill those who have no will to fight. Capture them!	(0:15:26.50)
▶ Jinshi : There's fewer soldiers than I expected.	(0:15:31.24)
▶ Jinshi : We push on.	(0:15:39.03)
▶ Lihaku : Who'd have thought this tactic would go so well...	(0:15:41.26)
▶ Lihaku : Also, who'd have thought Shishou, known for his wiles in the palace,	(0:15:45.62)
▶ Lihaku : would make the mistake of holing up in a place like this.	(0:15:49.17)
▶ Lihaku : Moreover...	(0:15:54.45)
▶ Lihaku : The little lady's boss, the eunuch with the beauty of a heavenly goddess,	(0:15:56.23)
▶ Lihaku : showing up as the leader of the royal guard...	(0:15:59.77)
▶ Lihaku : Everyone was shocked to the core.	(0:16:03.19)
▶ Jinshi : Some may think this is not the strategy befitting the royal guard,	(0:16:06.41)
▶ Jinshi : a proud force led by an imperial family member.	(0:16:09.55)
▶ Jinshi : However, this is the best strategy to minimize our casualties.	(0:16:12.55)
▶ Jinshi : That is my decision. I will accept any criticism that it is a sneak attack!	(0:16:18.41)
▶ Lihaku : Really, what goes on in their heads?	(0:16:24.93)
▶ Lihaku : Those who come up with plans like these, and those who accept them.	(0:16:28.01)
▶ Lihaku : Please, wait!	(0:16:45.15)
▶ Jinshi : You wish to speak?	(0:16:47.71)
▶ Lihaku : Yes.	(0:16:49.00)
▶ Jinshi : I'll allow it.	(0:16:50.05)
▶ Lihaku : Thank you.	(0:16:51.25)
▶ Lihaku : This smoke means we shouldn't linger here.	(0:16:53.88)
▶ Lihaku : Everyone inside will come out before long.	(0:16:57.62)
▶ Jinshi : I know.	(0:17:01.38)
▶ Jinshi : But there may be some inside who are trapped.	(0:17:02.70)
▶ Lihaku : We'll go search in your stead, then.	(0:17:06.05)
▶ Jinshi : I can't stay out of this.	(0:17:08.88)
▶ Lihaku : It would be great if your precious self could stay somewhere safe...	(0:17:11.24)
▶ Jinshi : Grand Commandant Kan's daughter is being held here.	(0:17:16.12)
▶ Lihaku : Here?!	(0:17:19.94)
▶ Jinshi : Yes.	(0:17:21.32)
▶ Lihaku : If you let her die... You'll make a new political enemy.	(0:17:22.49)
▶ Jinshi : Yes, indeed.	(0:17:26.92)
▶ Lihaku : I'll just do my job, then.	(0:17:32.12)
▶ Maomao : Is that...?	(0:17:41.77)
▶ Maomao : No way. There's no way he would be here.	(0:17:44.02)
▶ Maomao : The royal guard will arrive any moment now.	(0:17:51.63)
▶ Maomao : I might get mistaken as a member of the Shi clan if I stay here.	(0:17:54.13)
▶ Maomao : But...	(0:17:58.53)
▶ Shisui : Please take care of the rest.	(0:18:00.36)
▶ Maomao : I should have run.	(0:18:02.79)
▶ Maomao : What an idiot I am. I'm in no position to criticize Shisui.	(0:18:04.89)
▶ Maomao : I hope whoever busts in here is reasonable!	(0:18:13.24)
▶ Maomao : Sorry to trouble you, but could you protect me, Master Jinshi?	(0:18:33.74)
▶ Jinshi : Are you hurt? That blood...	(0:18:37.94)
▶ Maomao : It's fine. It's not mine.	(0:18:40.18)
▶ Jinshi : That's not fine!	(0:18:42.99)
▶ Maomao : It's just snake blood.	(0:18:44.35)
▶ Jinshi : Snake?	(0:18:45.91)
▶ Maomao : I missed this atmosphere.	(0:18:47.54)
▶ Jinshi : Hey, is that...	(0:18:50.40)
▶ Jinshi : I am no longer crown prince. Lady Gyokuyou gave birth to a prince.	(0:18:56.47)
▶ Maomao : Crown Prince...	(0:19:01.55)
▶ Maomao : So that's who Master Jinshi really was.	(0:19:04.09)
▶ Maomao : The emperor's younger brother is 19 years old.	(0:19:07.21)
▶ Maomao : I thought Master Jinshi was supposed to be 25, but...	(0:19:09.23)
▶ Maomao : Master Jinshi, you're younger than you look.	(0:19:14.39)
▶ Jinshi : Lihaku! Are you here?!	(0:19:20.01)
▶ Lihaku : Yes, sir!	(0:19:21.45)
▶ Jinshi : I'll leave this to you.	(0:19:22.63)
▶ Lihaku : I have a question for you.	(0:19:29.80)
▶ Lihaku : You resemble a girl who works in the palace, called Maomao.	(0:19:32.06)
▶ Maomao : That's me.	(0:19:36.68)
▶ Lihaku : What are you doing here?	(0:19:38.09)
▶ Maomao : I was kidnapped.	(0:19:39.86)
▶ Lihaku : Wait, so is your father...	(0:19:41.62)
▶ Maomao : Please don't say his name. Just ＂that old guy＂ is fine.	(0:19:43.41)
▶ Lihaku : Right.	(0:19:48.53)
▶ Lihaku : Well, sorry about that!	(0:19:50.21)
▶ Lihaku : If you say so, then that must be it.	(0:19:51.94)
▶ Lihaku : You're quite a mess. Look at all that blood.	(0:19:54.69)
▶ Maomao : It's snake blood.	(0:19:58.51)
▶ Lihaku : Don't get hurt or anything, okay?	(0:20:00.43)
▶ Lihaku : That old guy got all worked up and threw out his back. He can't move.	(0:20:02.78)
▶ Maomao : Were the avalanche and the surprise attack timed with it his plan, too?	(0:20:08.96)
▶ Lihaku : Yeah.	(0:20:14.26)
▶ Lihaku : Hmm?	(0:20:15.56)
▶ Lihaku : Is someone asleep here?	(0:20:17.75)
▶ Maomao : Children. But they're not breathing.	(0:20:20.25)
▶ Maomao : I think they drank poison.	(0:20:23.70)
▶ Lihaku : I see. Even if they did survive, they'd all be executed.	(0:20:25.86)
▶ Lihaku : Women, children, it doesn't matter.	(0:20:31.32)
▶ Lihaku : I don't like it.	(0:20:33.89)
▶ Maomao : Are the remains of the executed left to rot?	(0:20:36.05)
▶ Lihaku : No, they're cremated and then buried.	(0:20:40.21)
▶ Maomao : Could they at least be allowed to rest with their mothers?	(0:20:43.61)
▶ Lihaku : That's not my job.	(0:20:47.76)
▶ Lihaku : It's like they're asleep.	(0:20:55.16)
▶ Lihaku : Hey! I need a hand here!	(0:20:58.18)
▶ Maomao : Master Lihaku?	(0:21:00.61)
▶ Lihaku : We can't just leave them here, right?	(0:21:03.23)
▶ Lihaku : I can't give them a proper funeral, but I could bury them nearby, secretly.	(0:21:06.13)
▶ Maomao : Wouldn't you be punished for that?	(0:21:11.78)
▶ Lihaku : Dunno. If something happens, help bail me out, okay?	(0:21:13.93)
▶ Maomao : Me, help you? How...	(0:21:18.21)
▶ Lihaku : Oh, I know! Just go up to that old guy and call him ＂Papa＂ or something.	(0:21:20.81)
▶ Lihaku : He'll let you—	(0:21:26.80)
▶ Lihaku : Sorry, never mind.	(0:21:29.05)
▶ Maomao : What was that whistle for?	(0:21:37.06)
▶ Lihaku : To signal that I fulfilled an order.	(0:21:38.75)
▶ Lihaku : Let's go.	(0:21:46.60)
▶ Lihaku : Getting you out safely	(0:21:48.07)
▶ Lihaku : is my job.	(0:21:52.23)
▶ Maomao : I'll do what Shisui entrusted me with.	(0:22:07.82)
▶ Maomao : That's all.	(0:22:12.50)
