Gi soldier: Reporting! Emergency information from the
spies from main fortress! No sign of Ryubi army! What!? What do you mean by that!? Gi soldier: There's not a single soldier of Ryubi army within the castle walls! That's impossible! That's their main camp, no!? Search better!
(Is army something you can fail to notice that easily, unless you're Enjutsu?) Sis, wait... No point searching, when we are before their very walls
and Ryubi army doesn't respond in any way. That's an answer, no? ...What do you mean? In other words, Ryubi is no longer in the castle. Eh? Not in the castle, do you mean Ryubi escaped? Probably.

Wait a bit, Shuuran. Even if she did, where did she run then? Heigen, where she was before is already ours... There should be no other places.
(Whoever got appointed to Heigen in Touka's place is a Bad Luck Brian) Hmm... It's possible she decided to rely on Sonsaku, no? ...Will Sonsaku really accept Ryubi, while she's a nuisance force? Kii's correct.

Sonsaku is also a hero, recognized by Karin-sama. If she has an
ambition to unify the land, I doubt she'll protect Ryubi, who can become her enemy. Then where did Ryubi go?
(Why can't they figure it out? Not like Kazuto used any history-changing knowledge) That's... I don't know! Don't ask me! Haha, General Ton went defiant.

Shut up, Kii! Ow! I'm against violence! ...Sis. Let's meet up with Karin-sama. We can't figure out the situation. Hm...

Understood. Kii, how far is Karin-sama? In around one li from here, she met up with Rin-chan-tachi in a castle. Then let us gather too. Right...

Then, let's leave some soldiers on watch and go meet up
with Karin-sama with the rest! Troops, hurry up! Gi army: Yes! Shunran-tachi has returned? I wonder if something happened. According to Shuuran-sama, they made troops fall back...
It's very probably that something unexpected happened. Hm... So, where are they? Here.

We've returned! I'm back! Oh, when did you... Welcome back, you two. Kii, good job. Don't worry about that.

By the way, listen, Karin-sama. Shunran-sama
knocked on my head because I commented on her. So cruel. Hey, Kii.

We need to report first! Heh... I'll listen to Kii's complaint later. ...So, what's the report? Yes. We sent infiltrators into their main fortress and, according to examination
of the castle, it appears Ryubi has abandoned it and retreated somewhere.

Retreated?... Impossible. Abandoning castle and retreating
is not something a hero would do...! Hmm... How was the castle? Completely peaceful.

But there's something that worried me... ...Continue. It's supposed to be their capital, but there were
very low population... It looked like some countryside town.

Very low population... Hmm. Is that some strategy?... No, but what kind of strategy would that be...

Rin, let's think later. We need to analyze the situation for now.
(How's that different?) Yes... Did you explore the surroundings? We've left a part of squad to observe the main fortress. We also ordered
exploration, so the results should be in when we get there.

I see... Fuu.
(You should've just asked her right away - she's a genius) Fuu, wake up. ...Oh. Are you awake? Then, share your opinion.

Umm... About the fact that Ryubi escaped? Yeah. Let us hear what you think about it. Hmm...

If Ryubi escapes, where would she head. North is already ours.
South is Sonsaku. East is a sea... Then, there's only west.

West...?
(Finally someone used some basic logic) I considered the possibility of Keishu, okay? But, that's bordering with us,
so it will only buy them a bit of time. Then... Right. Something around Ekishu suits all conditions.

...I see! There was a report that they might have an internal struggle there. There was, right. Using opportunity created by that struggle to capture
part of castles. And after that, conquer Ekishu...

Oh, a wonderful future awaits. And what about the drop in population? They followed her. I understand the feeling of not wanting
to be seperated from someone you like, after all. I see...

Shunran, Shuuran! Yes! Take Kii and Shia and follow Ryubi. If it were only soldiers is one case,
but with civilians they couldn't have gone far yet. Slow them down, when you catch up. We'll follow
after we finish occupying the main fortress.

Your will!... Slowing down is fine, but is it okay to defeat them too?
(You're not Archer and you can't do UBW, so don't use that phrase) Of course. Now that we started conquest, defeat all the enemies. Yes! Shuuran, Kii, Shia! Let's go! Follow me! She became cheerful all of sudden.

Keeping up with athletic-type is seriously harsh. Stop talking and come! Yes, yes... Well, I'll be going for a bit.
(Easygoing and unwilling... Well, wait until you find out Ren's there too) I'll be going.

I'm counting on you two... Shuuran. I'll leave it to you. Your will.

I'll fulfill the guide's role well... Well then. Keifa, Rin, Fuu. We hurry up to the main fortress
and occupy the castle.

Make preparations. Your will! Ruru. You're coming with me. Yes.

I made my move... Now, if I can capture Ryubi or not,
that depends only on heaven's will....
