- Sarasa:
- He's the same...
- ...as my other enemies.
- Man:
- Be careful.
- Sarasa:
- Protecting Okinawa...
- ...and the President...
- ...will weaken the Japanese Emperor.
- Sarasa:
- Wind...?!
[7]
- Sarasa:
- ?!
- Man:
- Kuwaah!
- Sarasa:
- The lights.
- Voice:
- Uwaah!
[8]
- Voice:
- Kuwaah!
- Voice:
- Gyaah!
- Voice:
- Let's split up!
- Staying together is too dangero...
- Kuaah!
- Sarasa:
- What...
- Sarasa:
- What's going on?!
- Voices:
- Hi
- Waah!
- Sarasa:
- I can't use my eyes!
- Calm down!
- Sarasa:
- Just a little while ago,
- ...I was constantly walking in the dark.
- Shinbashi:
- Ku
- Sarasa:
- The wind!
[10]
- Sarasa:
- Wait!
- Sarasa:
- He's going for the limestone cave!
- Sarasa:
- Running away huh?!
- Sarasa:
- There's no sound of footsteps when he draws near.
- The one who attacked the President earlier...
- ...is him!
- Bashô:
- Phew.
- Is it safe to go so deep inside the cave?
- Priestess:
- I don't know.
- We've never been in here.
- Bashô:
- I can hear the ocean.
- ...huh?
- Bashô:
- Light...?!
- Impossible...
- Who can it be?
[11]
- Bashô:
- Who are you?
- Our pursuers?!
- Sarasa:
- Although they're both caves, this place is different from
the gateway underground tunnel. (Note: That was back in Volume 2.)
- 'Cause it's all wet and slippery.
[12]
- Sarasa:
- I really hate this.
- Sarasa:
- He doesn't say a word,
- ...and attacks so suddenly and violently.
- It's just as I thought.
- Whether it's the Red King, or the Blue King,
or their father the Emperor.
[13]
- Sarasa:
- They're all the same!!
- Sarasa:
- Wah!
[14]
- Sarasa:
- I can't go on.
- My footing is bad and it's tiring me out.
- What should I...
- Sarasa:
- What...
- If there's a moment...
- Sarasa:
- Brother.
- Sarasa:
- Brother.
- Give me a moment's chance.
[15]
- Voice:
- Sarasa!
[17]
- Sarasa:
- Just now...
- Sarasa:
- This voice...
[18]
- Kakujî:
- Sarasa!
- Are you okay?
- Sarasa:
- Kakujî!
- Nagi!!
- Bashô:
- Well well. What a shocker.
- The limestone cave here in Gyokusen Grotto...
- ...actually has an underground dock.
[19]
- Eric:
- This is the Great Red Hair Eric's hiding place!
Ha ha ha ha ha
- Eric:
- After the typhoon, we got here some way some how,
- ...and started fixing the ship.
It's all done.
- Nagi:
- Kakujî is hurt,
- ...so he can't move around.
- Kakujî:
- I'm so ashamed.
- Kakujî:
- Even though Nagi-sama assured me that you're safe,
- ...and didn't want me to worry,
How does he know?
- Kakujî:
- ...I can't feel right until I see you again.
- Nagi:
- Your eyes appear to be well.
- Sarasa:
- Yes, Nagi.
- Nagi...
- Sarasa:
- I want to hug him, but...
- ...I'm not a kid anymore.
[20]
- Bashô:
- You've grown a lot, Nagi.
Your hair too.
- Nagi:
- Yes, Master.
- Long time no see.
< Feeling somewhat shy.
Sarasa is indebted to you.
- Bashô:
- Speaking of which, who is she?
Sarasa:
Are you okay?
Kakujî:
More or less.
- Bashô:
- She doesn't seem like an ordinary person.
- Nagi:
- She is just an ordinary person.
- However...
- Nagi:
- ...she...
- ...is also the only light...
- ...I can see.
[21]
- Bashô:
- Really?
- Well, if you're not worried,
- ...then I'm happy.
- Man:
- Doctor Bashô!
- Bashô:
- What?
- Man:
- Over there, we only looked away for a second, and...
- Sarasa:
- He escaped...!
- Bashô:
- What? The assassin's still alive?
- He's no ordinary man.
- Man:
- Doctor Bashooo
- Is everybody here?!
- Bashô:
- Oh.
- It's you. This way.
- Watch your step.
- Bashô:
- He's been spying on Unten for us.
- Bashô:
- Well, anything happen?
- Man:
- Yes.
- Main:
- Unten has loaded arms onto a ship,
- ...and plans to leave port from Naha Harbor.
- Bashô:
- What?!
- Is he going to start a war?!
[22]
- Man:
- No...
- Not at all.
- Man:
- The crew wasn't sure about it, but it sounds like...
- ...he's going after the phantom ship that's been appearing near Amami.
- Sarasa:
- It's Shuri and them.
- Sarasa:
- This is bad.
- The Japanese army and Unten...
- ...are planning to strike.
- Sarasa:
- Doctor, will the President be safe here?
- Bashô:
- Yeah.
- Bashô:
- We have a group of bodyguards.
And this place's like a maze.
- Bashô:
- Should something happen, we can always escape by sea.
- Sarasa:
- Well then,
- ...I'll leave the rest to you.
[23]
- Nagi:
- Sarasa.
- Nagi:
- The President is awake.
- He seems to have something to say.
- Asato:
- So dark...
- Bashô:
- We're inside the limstone cave in Gyokusen Grotto, Mr. President.
- Asato:
- I... had a dream.
- Asato:
- Of the day I met to talk with Unten.
[24]
- Asato:
- We...
- ...made a promise.
- Asato:
- With water as wine in our cups...*
- ...on that night of cherry blossoms far away.
- Asato:
- From now on, we become fellow enemies.
[25]
- Asato:
- I will use my utmost power to reconcile peacefully with Japan.
- Asato:
- Though I know not how long it'll take.
- Unten:
- I will consult with Japan...
- ...to find the least damaging method of handing over Okinawa to them.
- Voice:
- Let's just leave it...
- ...at that.
- Unten:
- I'll do my best.
- And if I have to,
- ...I will even assassinate you.
- Asato:
- That sounds like something Japan would do.
- But I won't be so easy to kill.
[26]
- Voice:
- Friend.
- This much...
- Voice:
- ...I promise...
- ...upon my soul.
- Unten & Asato:
- This much I have decided.
- I will protect my country to the death!
- Asato:
- From then on, we became enemies.
[27]
- Asato:
- Unten...
- ...drew the hardest lot.
- Asato:
- Hmm. So you should understand now.
- Asato:
- He's not someone who would sell his country for personal gains.
- That's my opinion.
- Asato:
- Unten is willing to throw away his pride...
- ...in order to protect the pride of this country.
- Asato:
- In order to protect this country,
- ...he has become a demon.
[28]
- Bashô:
- Sarasa?
- Sarasa:
- I'm going.
- Bashô:
- Where to...
- What're you going to do?
- Sarasa:
- I don't know.
- Sarasa:
- I'm going so I can...
- ...think things over.
- Eric:
- The shortcut exit is over there.
- Sarasa:
- Thanks, Mr. Eric.
- Eric:
- And take this for a snack.
Bananas.
- Kakujî:
- I want to go too...!
- Nagi:
- From the looks of it,
- ...she still hasn't realized that her own birthday has passed.
These two are so carefree.
- Kakujî:
- Oh. If that's the case...
[29]
- Kakujî:
- Yeah.
- Sarasa is already 16.
- Sarasa:
- I'm inside the shrine.
- Sarasa:
- Come on.
Let me ride you a bit.
- Sarasa:
- Unten...
- ...doesn't know that Nakijin is with Shuri.
- Sarasa:
- Those brothers will try to kill each other.
- Sarasa:
- Ha
- Sarasa:
- That must not happen.
- Sarasa:
- Brother...
- Sarasa:
- Brother.
- Tatara:
- What is a brother?
[30]
- Tatara:
- What is a brother?
- And what does it mean to be born as one?
- It means being the only one in this world whose veins flow the same blood as you.
[31]
- Tatara:
- Sarasa...
- For your sake...
- I'll run to the ends of the earth if I have to.
[32]
- Unten:
- All loaded up?
- Prepare to set sail.
Naha Harbor
- Voice:
- This phantom ship is an Okinawa plot!
- Voice:
- Put a stop to it immediately!
- If not, we'll terminate our secret agreement.
- Then Japan will launch a full-scale war.
- Unten:
- A full-scale war.
- That is the one thing I must prevent.
- No matter what...!
- Voice:
- Set sail!
- Sarasa:
- Shuri...
[33]
- Sarasa:
- Shuri...
- Please protect Nakijin...
- Shuri:
- During these past 2-3 days, we haven't seen any Japanese ships.
- Have they changed their movements?
- Shuri:
- Maybe they plan to close in for a simultaneous attack.*
- Shuri:
- Furthermore!
- Shuri:
- What's with the guy I sent to find Sarasa?
- Shuri:
- Eeh.
- He's so late!
[34]
- Nakijin:
- Be good enough to undress in one place!
- Shuri:
- Why should I?
- Bug off.
- Nakijin:
- I can't stand your messy ways!
- Shuri:
- What a perfect housewife you are!
- Nakijin:
- Act your age!
- You big disgrace!
- Shuri:
- Age...
- Age...
- Oh.
- Shuri:
- Damn!!
- Yûna:
- What?
- Shuri:
- My birthday...
- ...has passed!
- Nakijin:
- So what!
- Yûna:
- Don't scare me like that.
- Shuri:
- I celebrate it every year!
- There'd be fireworks, ships all lined up, and parades on the streets!
[35]
- Yûna:
- So Shuri, how old are you now?
Since you mentioned it.
- Shuri:
- 18.
- Nakijin:
- Younger than me?!
<- 19 this year
- Yûna:
<- 20 this year
- Shuri, you're younger than us?!
You look older than that.
- Nakijin:
- So, you're younger than me?
- Hmph hmph.
- Shuri:
- What!
- What's with that smug face all of a sudden?!
- Nakijin:
- You should respect your elders.
- Shuri:
- Age means nothing!
- I know plenty of dumb old guys!
- Lookout:
- Shuri-san!
- Lookout:
- I see something.
- Over there. What can it be?
- Shuri:
- Oh, that.
- I figured they'd be loitering around here at this time.
- Okay. Send out a signal!
[36]
- Nakijin:
- Whose ships?
- Shuri:
- They're the European...
- ...Allied Fleet.
- Man:
- Red King!
- Shuri:
- It's been a while,
- ...Sir Henry.
- Shuri:
- Since the Crimson Maru sunk.
- (Note: That was back in manga volume 3.)

- Henry:
- I heard you died.
- Shuri:
- Yeah, something like that.
- Shuri:
- Well,
- ...your Japanese's getting pretty good.
- Henry:
- I picked it up in order to argue with the Samurai Kings.
- But, the Japan without you is boring.

[38]
- Voice:
- I was just about to change my plans.
- Perhaps I'll go invade Japan.
- Nakijin:
- Yûna. What's going on?
- Yûna:
- Shuri's the Red King...
Dumbfounded
- Nakijin:
- The Red King?
- Yûna:
- The Emperor's son.
- He was exiled after a recent coup d'etat.
- Nakijin:
- A prince?
- Nakijin:
Eh This is a first.
- Now I get it.
- Nakijin:
- That's why he always has that haughty attitude!
- Shuri:
- I'll resurrect myself soon,
- ...but I do have one request.
- Henry:
- What? Do you need weapons?
- Shuri:
- No.
- Shuri:
- I'm throwing a birthday party for myself.
- I want you to attend.
- Henry:
- Hohoo.
- Sounds interesting.
- This should be fun.
[39]
- Nakijin:
- What's this birthday party?
- Shuri:
- It'll happen when I attack Japan!
- Nakijin:
- That's right. Japan!
- Aren't you the Emperor's son?!
- Nakijin:
- Why do you side with Okinawa, and fight against Japan?
- Shuri:
- It doesn't matter whose son I am.
- That's not important.
- Shuri:
- The blood flowing inside me...
- ...belongs only to me.
- Shuri:
- Before long, I will...
- ...reign over all Japan.
[40]
- Shuri:
- When that happens, I'll sign a peace treaty with Okinawa.
- Then we'll be everlasting trade partners.
- Yûna:
- A peace treaty...
- Yûna:
- That'd be great.
- Do you think Shuri can really pull it off?
- Nakijin:
- No I don't.
- Yûna:
- By then,
- ...you'll probably be a top Okinawa official.
- Yûna:
- Didn't you say you want to become a politician?
- Nakijin:
- I don't know.
- I don't even understand my own brother.
[41]
- Unten:
- Nakijin.
- Nakijin:
- I don't understand.
- Unten:
- The ideals of this country have not changed...
- ...since it was called Ryûkyû long ago.
- Unten:
- Let the ships be our bridge to the world,
- ...and enrich our country...
- ...through trade.
- Nakijin:
- Why would my honorable brother,
- ...who loves Okinawa more than anyone,
- Nakijin:
- ...sell Okinawa to Japan?
- I just don't understand!
- Voice:
- Look!
- Isn't that the phantom ship?!
[42]
- Unten:
- Alright.
- Get closer, then fire the arrows.
- Unten:
- They are Okinawa's enemies.
- Don't let their ringleader escape!!
- Yûna:
- Shuri.
- Those are Okinawa's ships.
- Shuri:
- Ignore them.
- Just avoid them, Yûna.
- Men:
- Aim
- Fire!
[43]
- Men:
- What?!
- They're attacking.
- Nakijin:
- Brother...
- Brother..
- Yûna:
- Nakijin!
- Wait.
- Nakijin:
- Brother!!
[44]
- Nakijin:
- Brother!
- Please stop attacking!
- Nakijin:
- We're all fighting to protect Okinawa!
- Unten:
- I told you to stay with mother.
- Nakijin:
- Brother...
[45]
- Man:
- Stop the attack.
- Unten:
- Who told you to stop?
- Unten:
- Those are traitors.
- Keep firing!
- Sarasa:
- The ship's stopped.
- What's happening?!
- Men:
- Position
- Shuri:
- Idiot!
[46]
- Yûna:
- Shuri.
- Men:
- Shuri-san.
- Yûna:
- Nakijin.
- Shuri:
- Dumbass.
- Do you get it now?
- They're already in league with the Japanese army.
- Shuri:
- That hurts!
- Yûna:
- I'm the doctor's apprentice.
- It won't hurt once it's bandaged up.
[47]
- Nakijin:
- Brother...
- Nakijin:
- Brother.
- Brother...
- Unten:
- Don't stop attacking.
- Use fire arrows.
- Unten:
- ...!
- Sarasa:
- Nobody moves.
[48]
- Unten:
- You're...
- ...the girl from back then.
- When did you get on board?
- Sarasa:
- I know about your talks with the President.
- You don't really want to fight against Nakijin!
- Sarasa:
- Listen!
- If you value your life,
- ...stop the attack!
- Please turn back!
- Yûna:
- Shuri!
- That's...
- Isn't that Sarasa-chan?!
- Shuri:
- Sarasa?!
[49]
- Shuri:
- Sarasa!
- What're you doing?
- Stop being reckless!
- Sarasa:
- Shuri...
- But,
- But...
- Sarasa:
- This is nobody's fault.
- Nobody's fault...
- ...except Japan's.
- Unten:
- Girl, it's already too late.
- Look.
[50]
- Unten:
- The Japanese army...
- Unten:
- ...has finally...
- ...launched an all-out attack.
[51]
- Shuri:
- They came, huh?!
- Sarasa:
- An all-out attack...!
